Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

8. Easy Money

Buggy return to Orange Town after finishing his business on Syrupp village. The kiss incident really surprised him, but he get his composure fast. The girls only show their gratitude, and he need to accept it.

'This is cultural difference, i need to adapt to it soon.'-Buggy

Buggy go to his apartment and put his money in the safe. Buggy decide to rest & train for 2 weeks before he start his hunting again. He is still struggling to fight a small seaking, so if a big seaking appear, he might die. That's why he need to train and get stronger.

When he train, Buggy feel that he has a big improvement. He feel he can control his devil fruit ability easier, and his levitation range has increase. Previously, it's just 20 meter, but now it's 30 meters. He know that battle is the best way to grow, but which battle?

"Hmm, the bandits didn't give me much challenge, so it must be the seaking. Hmm, now that i think of it, i fly past my range in that fight. I wasn't paying attention, but i fly further to avoid getting bitten. So i improve in the face of death, huh?"-Buggy

Buggy get excited and resume his training. He increase his training difficulty and try to surpass his limit. Rayleigh have taught him that to grow faster & reach high level of power, he need to surpass his limit. Even if his bones cracking, even if his muscle feel like it'll get torn, he need to persevere and surpass it.

Buggy's training on the hill actually attract the town's people attention. They start to realize that Buggy is really strong and now know why he became Bounty Hunter. Some kids even come to him and asked to be trained.

"Are you sure? My training is very hard and you it will hurt you."-Buggy

""Yeah, we want to be strong like you after all.""-Kids

"Well, whatever, just do as i say."-Buggy

Buggy give the kids some training that they can do. He'll play along with them for now, they'll quit after knowing how hard his training is. So now, he start to train with the kids on the hill.

Then just like his prediction, the kids start to give up after 3 days. The training is hard and they can't play around when they train. Buggy try to make his training as fun as possible and make it looks like games, but these kids get bored easily, so they quit.

Surprisingly, there is a kid that stay and continue to train even after a week. His name is Rio, 7 y.o and he's an orphan. Buggy thought he will quit sooner or later, but he didn't quit even after 2 weeks.

"You don't want to quit like your friends?"-Buggy

"No, i want to be strong, so i can be a marine."-Rio

"Marine? HAHAHAHA, so you want to be a marine. Then this will be very funny in the future."-Buggy

"Why?"-Rio

"Because i will be a pirate after 2 years of training."-Buggy

"Pirate? Why did you want to be a pirate?"-Rio is confused, and he seem to be angry

"You have a bad history with pirates, huh?"-Buggy

"My parents were killed by pirates, that's why i hate them. I will be a strong marine and catch pirates."-Rio

"Oh, well, it's your right to be whatever you want."-Buggy

"Why did you want to become a pirate?"-Rio

"Because i want to explore the world and find it's mysteries."-Buggy

"Then, you can be an adventurer rather than pirate."-Rio
