Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

51. A Couple

Dina & Robin have decided to join the Clown pirates temporarily until they reach the safe place that Buggy promised them.

"Captain, who-"-Cricket

"I'll explain it later, we need to leave now before Marine or Cipher Pol agents come."-Buggy

"Hmm, alright."-Cricket

The Clown Pirates leave the island and sail away to the sea. When they get far from the island, Buggy introduces Robin & Dina to everyone except Mantis who cook in the kitchen because it's almost lunch.

"Ooh, so this is Nico Robin, the girl who has a higher bounty than you. Hehe, you should be ashamed Captain, you lose to this little girl."-Cricket

"Hey, at least I have a bounty, unlike you."-Buggy

"T-that's-"-Cricket is at loss for words and slump down, dejected

"But will it be okay for them to join us exploring West Blue? It will be really dangerous."-Jude

"Don't worry, we can protect ourselves at least, as long as the enemy isn't someone like your Captain."-Dina

"You know Captain's strength?"-Jude

"Yes, Robin tried her ability on him before, but he doesn't move even a little. Robin has defeated some rather strong men in the past with that technique, and everyone was affected. Even when some people weren't defeated by that, they'll at least move. He, on the other hand, doesn't even move, so he is very strong."-Dina

"Heh, can you try that technique on me?"-Cricket

"W-why'd you want to try it?"-Robin is still shy

"To see how far the difference of mine & Captain's power."-Cricket

Robin looks at Dina and Dina looks at Buggy, then Buggy looks at Cricket, and Cricket looks at Jude.

"E-eh? Eh? Wh-What?"-Jude is looking around, confused, and making the others laugh

"Sure, let him try."-Buggy

Dina nod to Robin, so Robin uses the same technique on Cricket. Many small hands appear on Cricket's body, then the small hands bend his body back.

"Eh?"-Cricket

Cricket bends to his back like a prawn, and he falls to the floor. He doesn't break his back though and only gets bent.

"OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! This is more painful than I thought."-Cricket

"You're not flexible enough to endure that level of back bending."-Buggy smirk

Robin stops her technique, and Cricket tries to fix his posture. Now he knows that he has a big gap with Buggy in physical strength. He is a lot bigger than Buggy, but Buggy is still stronger than him.

"Damn, Captain, you need to tell me how you train your body to get that strong in your age."-Cricket

"I've told you my training menu, and I've even shown it to you. You're just too lazy to train that much and prefer to drink your booze or flirt with Mantis."-Buggy

"Eh? W-what do you mean flirting with Mantis?"-Cricket get a little flustered

"Don't think that I don't know it! You're often went together with her to the islands that we've visited. Then at night, you two will climb the crow nest and have s-"-Buggy can't finish his words because Cricket cover his mouth

"CAPTAIN, THIS IS SUCH A GOOD DAY ISN'T IT? HAHAHA, YOU ALSO LOOK AWESOME, SO WHY DON'T WE TRAIN TOGETHER LATER? HAHAHA."-Cricket stop Buggy from saying another word
