Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

76. Garp's Arrival

After meeting with Rouge, Buggy goes to the highest spot on the island. Now he will be able to look anywhere around the island. He knows that Marine's reinforcement will come, so he needs to prepare himself.

Buggy will keep looking at the sea while training himself. He also ordered his crew to train every time they're free. Marine can come anytime, so they need to be prepared for it.

However, 2 weeks have passed, and no Marine ship come to the island. It's very strange considering Marine's attitude toward Roger Pirates. They should've really wanted to catch Buggy.

It's also hard to think that the Marine doesn't know that he is here after 2 weeks of stay. Baterilla is under their surveillance for 2 years, so it's impossible for them to not leave any spies here.

"What happens here? There's no way that the Marine will let me go that easily after knowing my location. Did someone play something here?" ponders Buggy.

Buggy is right, someone is playing with the current situation, it's Garp. He is the one who took the job to capture Buggy on South Blue.

Garp has arrived on South Blue 5 days after Buggy destroyed the Marine Unit. But Garp didn't go straight to Baterilla and went to check the defeated Unit instead. He said he wanted to check their conditions and asked a few things.

Garp wasted 2 days doing that, then he left the Marine Base after Sengoku reprimand him. But Garp didn't go straight to Baterilla, he move around randomly and attacked many pirate crews. 1 week get wasted like that and Garp's unit had captured 10 pirate crews in that 1 week.

The reason for Garp to do all of that was because he knew Buggy want to do something in Baterilla. Garp has made up his mind to take care of Roger's baby. But he wanted to know what Buggy will do in Baterilla.

"Vice-Admiral Garp, you get a message from Fleet Admiral Kong," says Garp's assistant, Bogard.

"Hmm? What is it?" asks Garp.

"He wants you to go straight to Baterilla and capture Buggy 'The Clown' or he will send Vice-Admiral Borsalino to do the job," says Bogard.

"Hmph, that bastard wants to do anything as he please," grumbles Garp while picking his nose.

Garp's subordinates sweatdrop at his statement. Everyone knows that he is the one who does anything as he please. Besides, Kong is the Fleet Admiral, so he can order Garp who is a Vice-Admiral.

"What should we do now?" asks Bogard.

"Let's go to Baterilla, we can't play around anymore," says Garp.

Garp's unit immediately goes to Baterilla after that. They reach the island after one day, and Buggy sees their ship. He widens his eyes in surprise to see Garp's ship. He can recognize it easily because of the unique dog head figure.

"Hmm, it seems I need to make a head figure for Little Hunter. It feels very plain right now without a head figure. Ah, no, I need to focus on this. I don't know what Garp will do now. He might come here to catch me, not for Ace. If he wanted to save Ace, he should've come months ago," says Buggy.

Buggy immediately runs to the port and tells his crew to get ready. He ordered them to leave with Rouge if something goes wrong and Garp doesn't come here to save Ace.

This is not anime or manga, this is the real world for Buggy now. Everyone here isn't a character anymore, so he can't predict what they'll do. It will be good that Garp will save Ace like the canon, but it will be very bad if Garp is different.

"If this is a bad Alternate Universe, then it will be very bad for us. Garp is still too strong for me right now and I don't have any winning chance. The best I can do is stalling time for them to leave," says Buggy while running to the port.
