Chapter 52 The God Farmer

"Master Buggy, we're in Jaya now, but where are we going to get money? This place is known for being lawless, and I've never heard of any wealthy areas or wealthy people nearby during my missions here," Blueno expressed his concerns as they stepped out of the door, scratching his head in doubt.

"Don't worry, let's go with the flow for now," Buggy reassured him. With a swift motion, Buggy extended his hand and flew towards the tavern in Jaya, Blueno followed him.

Squeak!

The doors of the Tavern swung open, and the bustling atmosphere inside immediately turned eerily silent as all eyes focused on Buggy.

Ignoring the attention, Buggy calmly approached the boss, who had forgotten to wipe the wine glass, and smiled. "Boss, I have a question. Do you know where Montblanc Cricket Guy is?"

The tavern owner trembled upon hearing the inquiry and quickly pointed in a direction, stammering his response. "Uh, you mean the guy who dives looking for gold? He's on the west side of the island. Just follow the coastline, and you'll find him."

"Thank you," Buggy replied, placing a thousand Baileys on the counter. He then turned to Blueno and said, "Blueno, let's go."

"Ah, understood, Mr. Buggy," Blueno nodded and followed closely. However, before he could reach the door, Buggy's hand spiraled upwards, taking Blueno with him into the sky.

Their departure caused the entire tavern to erupt in chaos.

"Did... Did I see him correctly just now? It's him!"

"Blue hair, long ponytail, clown makeup, white suit, and he can fly! It must be that famous guy!"

"But wasn't he still near Marineford? How did he end up here, halfway across the Grand Line? It's impossible!"

"For someone of his strength, this distance is not impossible."

"By the way, did you notice? He's also looking for Montblanc Cricket. Didn't Bellamy go to him two days ago?"

"How could we forget? That Strawhat took down Bellamy with a single punch back then! I wonder if Bellamy will get beaten up again this time."

"..."

Gasps filled the tavern as everyone exchanged shocked expressions.

Montblac's fake cardboard cut-out castle was located to the west. As Buggy carried Blueno and flew over Cricket's residence, he noticed the Mountain Monkey Alliance, who he remembered from his previous life, working on a ship renovation. The modified appearance resembled the ship Going Merry had in the past.

The ship had a rooster's head at the front, wings on both sides, and a tail fin at the stern. Buggy overheard a conversation coming from below.

"Bellamy, are you sure you want to find Sky Island? Does such a place even exist?"

"Shut up! If the Straw Hat can find it, why can't I? I won't let my dreams be tarnished! I want to follow the path he walked and see it for myself!"

"Hahaha, Bellamy, you idolize that Straw Hat kid, huh? If you had told us earlier, we wouldn't have charged you!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Do you think I, Bellamy, am short of money? Cricket, do you think the Straw Hat guy went to Sky Island?"

Upon Bellamy's inquiry, everyone temporarily halted their activities and turned to look at him. Cricket remained silent but made a gesture, pointing to the sky with a cigarette in his mouth and wearing a smile.

Toom... Toom... Toom

"It's the golden bell! The golden bell is ringing again!"

"Hahaha, it's the second time this month, right?"

"You guys are so lucky, Bellamy. You get to hear the bells of Sky Island before setting sail."

"Sky Island's bell?"

"You... You... You are..."

Hearing the words of the two apes, Bellamy also instinctively looked up. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "I... It's the... Clown King?!"

Bellamy's stunned stuttering left everyone in awe. Clown King? Who was that? Why was Bellamy so shocked?

Almost simultaneously, all eyes followed Bellamy's gaze, and in the next moment, everyone echoed Bellamy's exclamation.

"It's the... Clown King?!"

"Yo." Buggy in the sky waved and smiled at them.

"I heard you're going to Sky Island. Mind giving me a ride? I have a crew member who wants to go there too."

Upon seeing Buggy in the sky, Cricket's cigarette dropped to the ground, and he murmured, "Oh, this time I truly witnessed an extraordinary person!"

An hour later, Buggy and Blueno boarded Bellamy's modified ship, escorted by the Mountain Monkeys Alliance, and set off toward the center of the Knock-up stream.

Approaching Buggy, who was not far away, Bellamy cautiously asked, "Master Buggy, have you been to Sky Island as well?"

"I have been there personally long ago, but my little nephew Luffy knocked you out and has been there too recently," Buggy chuckled.

"If you haven't been there, then you haven't been there. There's no need to bring up the punch KO or anything!" Bellamy showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"Hehehe, so it turns out that someone like Monkey D. Luffy is your nephew. No wonder. By the way, Why is Mr. Buggy going to Sky Island this time?" Bellamy inquired.

Buggy didn't conceal his intentions. "I'm going to Sky Island to retrieve the gold. Strawhats couldn't take away the gold before, so this time I'm going to take it and find someone."

Bellamy's body froze. Wasn't this a case of bullying simple people? But they are pirates.

Bellamy quickly took a bottle of wine from one of his companions and handed it to Buggy. "So that's how it is, Lord Buggy. Please have some rum and wait for a moment."

"Easy for you to say," Buggy nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, the Mountain Ape Alliance in the distance shouted to Bellamy and the others, "Master Buggy, Bellamy, the Knock upstream will come soon, so be prepared!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Buggy didn't sit idle but stood up to witness the spectacle.

Two minutes later...

!!!

They witnessed a massive current, hundreds of meters in diameter, soaring into the sky, directly lifting the ship beneath their feet.

"Ahhh! It's flying!"

"Damn it, won't the ship be destroyed, and won't we all perish?"

"This is horrifying! We're about to be swallowed by the clouds!"

Seeing the clouds above their heads, Buggy wasted no time and used his shattering magic without hesitation. To the shock of everyone present, a white beam of light shot up into the sky from his hand, shattering nearby clouds and propelling the ship and the rising knock upstream even faster.

The Knock upstream was incredibly swift!

In just a few minutes, Buggy's Observation Haki detected the presence of the Vearth the God Island, Skypiea, and the remaining half of Gaya Island above the sea of clouds.

Puff!

Seconds later, the pirate ship completely broke through the sea of clouds, soared out, and finally landed on the sea of clouds.

"Oh my god! Look over there! It's an actual Sky Island!"

"Simply miraculous!"

"Hahaha, that man was right! Sky Island does exist!"

Bellamy was trembling with excitement. Buggy chuckled as he ascended to the sky, looking down at Bellamy. "As long as you believe, it naturally exists. People's dreams never end! It has been a pleasant journey, so Bellamy, I'll go on ahead."

After speaking, Buggy took Blueno and flew straight toward the Vearth.

Observing Buggy fly away with Blueno, Sarkis whispered in Bellamy's ear, "Bellamy, that man said he came for the gold, and we...?"

Bellamy shook her head nonchalantly and replied with a smile, "Let's just consider ourselves tourists."

At that moment, he couldn't help but recall the Summit War, where Buggy and his crew fought against Doflamingo and other top combatants. They even faced off against the Admirals directly.

And in the end, Doflamingo was defeated by Buggy's crewmate before.

Especially when he remembered Doflamingo being punched by that Fishmen and being instantly defeated and the stark contrast between how Buggy treated his subordinates and how Doflamingo treated him. Bellamy couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment.

Tsk.

As Bellamy pondered, one of the crew members suddenly exclaimed, "Bellamy, someone is flying over from the sea of clouds!"

On the other side...

As soon as Buggy and the others emerged from the rising current, their presence was detected by the guards of the Island of the Gods. They quickly reported it to the supreme ruler of Skypiea.

In the shrine...

Ganfall and the Shandian Chief were engaged in conversation, pouring water on pumpkins, when suddenly the shrine gate was forcefully knocked open by the guards. They urgently shouted, "No, Ganfall-sama! The Blue Sea people have invaded! There's a powerful native from Blue Sea leading a group of people, and it seems they are heading towards us! Lord Ganfall, what should we do? Should we summon the guards to drive out the intruders?"

Ganfall looked behind him with a serious expression, then shook his head slowly and said, "I don't think it's necessary."

Before the guard could apologize for the interruption, Buggy's voice suddenly sounded from behind. "I am sorry to interrupt you but you can call me Buggy; he's my subordinate, Blueno. We are from Grandline"

Hearing the unexpected voice, the guard screamed in fright and fell to the ground.

Buggy nodded and flashed a mischievous smile. "Thank you for guiding the way; otherwise, I wouldn't have known the location of the shrine."

Swish!

The guard turned pale upon hearing that.

"Hahahaha...," Buggy's smile grew more wanton, and his clown-like grin made people feel extremely uneasy. But at that moment, he winked at the guard and said, "Just kidding, I sensed the location of the shrine as soon as I arrived at Sky Island. It has nothing to do with you, so don't be nervous."

Hearing Buggy's words, Ganfall picked up the long spear placed in the pavilion without haste. He then gestured to the Shandia Chief to hide behind him, looked at Buggy, and asked, "Mr. Buggy, what brings you to our Sky Island?"

"I have two purposes," Buggy stated straightforwardly. "First, I'm here to retrieve the remaining gold left by Luffy. He couldn't take it away. Second, I want Enel's golden staff. That's all."

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed after Buggy mentioned his relation to Luffy.

With Buggy's detailed description, Ganfall and the Shandorian High Priest immediately believed his words. Under their strong request, Buggy had no choice but to stay and attend a banquet.

It is worth mentioning that Bellamy and Wyper unknowingly became good friends.

However, the entire Bellamy Pirates became restless when they saw the massive golden staff, nearly 10 feet long, given to Buggy by the Shandians and the Skypiea people. But when they witnessed Buggy dismantling the huge golden staff and transforming it into a golden Trident, the entire Bellamy Pirates fell silent.

Even gold could be easily disassembled, so defeating him wouldn't be an easy task.

After the banquet, Buggy didn't take their gold, worth at least tens of billions, for granted. Instead, he simply recounted the major events that had occurred in grand line in recent years.

At one point, he explained the Training method of Observation Haki and Armament Haki. This left Ganfall and the others very grateful, and they managed to find another batch of gold out of nowhere to give to Buggy.

Naturally, Buggy wouldn't turn down such a generous offer. This made Bellamy envious, and his mouth watered, but he didn't dare express his true intentions.

Especially after Buggy shared Haki's training methods with them the previous night, Bellamy's admiration for him grew even stronger. Naturally, clashes were inevitable when teaching the techniques.

Then Bellamy and the others realized the vast gap between themselves and the top powerhouses! They couldn't even defeat Blueno and were left bloodied.

Blueno made them feel the same powerlessness that Luffy felt when they first encountered CP9 and were defeated by them. Early the next morning, Buggy bid farewell to Ganfall and Bellamy.

After holding Enel's golden trident for a few minutes, Blueno opened his eyes and smiled at Buggy. "Lord Buggy, I've pinpointed the location of the owner of this golden trident! As you said, he may be in the direction of Birka nearby."

Ganfall and the others were shocked upon learning about Buggy's true purpose. Especially when they discovered that Enel not only didn't die but had returned to Sky Island Birka, it made them even more fearful. They were afraid that Enel might come back for revenge.

Seeing their expressions, Buggy smiled slightly and reassured them, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm going this time to take Enel away. From now on, you don't have to worry about him returning."

"Please, Mr. Buggy!" Ganfall sincerely thanked Buggy.

Buggy laughed, pointed to the huge golden spaceship, and said with a smile, "I should be the one thanking all of you. We'll meet again in the future."

After finishing his words, Buggy controlled the massive golden trident and approached the space door opened by Blueno.

Crunch!

As the space door closed, the members of the Bellamy Pirates, who seemed relieved, spoke with doubt, "Everyone, why were you all so nervous? Is Mr. Buggy a highly important figure in Grandline?"

"He's more than just a big shot!"

Hearing their words, Bellamy and the others smiled wryly and proceeded to explain the details to Ganfall.

Upon learning about the entire story of the Summit War, Ganfall and the others felt shocked, even if they didn't fully comprehend it yet.

Buggy directly arrived at Birka through the space gate. As Buggy walked out from the gate and saw the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he questioned his eyesight!

Enel... farming?

This was a year-round shock for Buggy!

In fact, after witnessing the scene, Buggy couldn't help but be amazed. After all, with Enel's character, how could a guy with God Complex suddenly start to farm?

But the Enel in front of him was far from the self-proclaimed god he remembered!

In front of a hut, a cleared open space of less than a kilometer was filled with various fruits and vegetables. Enel, wearing a white cloth scarf and a set of linen short-sleeved shorts, was watering the pumpkins with an iron bucket.

This is quite similar to the farmer version of Thanos, right?

This caused the corner of Buggy's mouth to twitch slightly.

"Master Buggy, could that person be the one you mentioned before, the self-proclaimed god who wanted to go to the moon?" Blueno scratched his bull's horns, feeling a bit puzzled.

"He was indeed the one," Buggy replied, also feeling dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect Enel to end up like this. Was he defeated by Luffy so badly in this timeline? Or was he consumed by defeat?"

<He is on the moon in canon but if this guy returns he is be gonna at least be an admiral-level powerhouse. After all this guy was based on the rap god Eminem. And as per Manga rules a character the later makes a comeback in the Series after a defeat stronger he is.>
