Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

45. Crea Town

"Captain, I see the island."-Cricket

The Clown Pirates have finally reach Crea Town after 3 days. The town is located on Smith Island, a small island near the Ballywood Kingdom.

They dock on an empty coast and go to the Town. Jude decides to stay on the ship with Salaki. She still wants to train her devil fruit ability and make some techniques.

The others go to the Town that has a medium size. They ask around to find the best jeweler in the town. They find him, but he has retired since last year because of age. His son replaces him in the workshop, but the son's skill is still far below the father's.

Buggy & co immediately go to the retired jeweler. His house is on the outskirt on the west side of town. They find it after walking for some time, and the house is small for the best jeweler in town.

They knock on the door, and soon an old lady comes out. They tell her they want to meet the old jeweler, Laice Handy. The old lady is his wife, May Handy. She calls her husband, and sometime later, a hunched old man comes out.

"You want to meet me?"-Laice

"Yes, we heard you are the best jeweler in town, so we want to ask for your help."-Buggy

"Were. I have retired since last year, so I can't make any jewelry again. Ask my son to make it for you."-Laice

"It's alright, we will also ask your son for it. In fact, we will ask for some more craftsmen to make our order. No one can make our order alone, after all, even you in your prime."-Buggy smirk

"Hmm? Are you doubting my skill even in my prime, kid?"-Laice get offended

"I'm not, but this is something that I believe you never work on. And I believe this will need many people to work on it."-Buggy

"Now you intrigue me, what is it that you want to make?"-Laice

"A necklace, but not any necklace, it's a necklace with 3 meters diameter and it needs to be very strong so it won't break easily."-Buggy

"3 METERS?!"-May

"Kid, are you planning to make a necklace for a giant?"-Laice

"Sort of, I will take you to see the one who'll wear it if you agree to make the necklace."-Buggy

"Hmmm..."-Laice ponder

"Why don't you take it? I know you want to make a masterpiece as your last work. You haven't done it when you retired, so maybe this is your chance. A giant necklace sound like a masterpiece right?"-May

".... Fine, I'll take it, but the design will be from me, how is it?"-Laice

"Sure, I don't have any design too, so it's better like this. I will also leave the team that will help your work to you."-Buggy

"That's even better. Now let's go to the workshop to call my son. We will check the client, and take the measurement."-Laice

"Alright, just don't get too surprised old man, because your heart has become weak with age."-Buggy smirk

"Bah, my heart will still beat for decades."-Laice

They all go to the workshop near the town center. They meet with Laice's son, Laite who is a 50 y.o man.

"You sure you want to take it, dad? You said your back won't be able to hold if you keep working."-Laite

"Don't worry about my back, worry more about your skill!"-Laice

"Ugh, I'm improving a lot you know."-Laite

"You still have a long way to go. Anyway, we have a big job now, so take your measuring tools and we'll get to work. Take our biggest & longest tools, this is really a 'big' job."-Laice
