Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

3. The Great Pirate Era

Buggy's training on Polestar Island, where Loguetown is located have started. He have 1 year to train in here before Roger's execution. He plan to go somewhere else after that.

Buggy train following the routine that were used by Rayleigh to train him & Shanks. He just raise the difficulty by adding weights or increasing the set number. He also try to hunt animals for his food to save up money and train his skills.

For weapon, Buggy use single edged shortsword now instead of knife. The old Buggy is proficient at knife, but knife isn't to his current self's liking. He like shortsword more, as it's longer, bigger, and tougher. Beside, when he try the short sword, he instantly like it.

"Hmm, these swords are cheap, so the quality is standard, but i think it's enough for now. I need to save up money for the future too."-Buggy

Buggy have a lot of money now after Roger divided their wealth among the crew. He know he can spend it, but Buggy want to save it first. If he want to make a crew, he will need money to buy a ship, which is not cheap at all, so he'll save up money as much as he can.

"I'm not Luffy that have the luck to get a free ship after saving a village, so i'll need to buy one, which is very expensive. Sigh, this thinking about money really hurt my head."-Buggy

Buggy forget about that and continue his training. He'll think about it when the time have come. For now, he need to train and be strong, so he'll be able to protect himself & his crew.

Buggy train his body, his knife skills, and of course his devil fruit. He try to explore his devil fruit's ability by trying many things. Now he know that he can split himself into a very thin layer like a paper. However, he still can't split himself into too many parts because the more he split, the more concentration he need.

Buggy will raise his devil fruit proficiency by splitting himself into more parts from now on. The more parts that he split, also mean smaller parts. His goal is to be able to split his body into cellular level. If he can split into cellular level, he will be like a logia.

Of course his ultimate goal is not just that, but awakening. He can predict what his devil fruit awakening will be. He might be able to split other things around him. He just doesn't know to what extent his ability will work.

Buggy also find some strength & weakness of his devil fruit. For strength, it's mainly his splitting, & levitation. For weakness, it's his levitation range, he need to leave his feet on the ground to levitate, and of course seawater & seastone. He also can be said to be immune to sharp weapons, but not blunt weapons.

Buggy plan to keep training his devil fruit for six months. He will start training haki for the next 6 months. He know haki training is very hard, but at least he want to know the basic on his 6 months of haki training. At the very least, he want to be able to use a little observation haki, and maybe colourless armament that allow him to touch devil fruit user's real body.
