Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

79. Ace's Birth

Rouge's labor day has finally come. Manba & some nurses will do the Caesarean Section now. The others wait outside of the room nervously. They never wait for birth labor, and this is really nerve-wracking.

Buggy suddenly senses someone and he leaves the house. The others ask him and he just says he wants to get some fresh air. He tells them to wait here to help if something happens.

Buggy goes outside and sees Garp is standing beside the door. Buggy stands on the other side and leans to the wall. They don't talk and just stand there for a few moments.

"Have you finally decided to take care of the baby?" asks Buggy.

Garp is silent for a moment before saying, "Yeah, what Roger said has made sense to me. A baby can't bear their father's sin."

"Then, I want to ask you too. Please take care of Rouge. We have done what we could to save her & the baby. The baby will need a mother and I believe you can't be the mother," says Buggy while smirking.

"Damn brat, do you want me to breastfeed a baby?" asks Garp angrily.

"That's why I told you to take Rouge too. She has never done something bad, Garp. She is not a pirate & criminal like Captain & me. She is just someone who loves a pirate. I still don't understand why WG & Marine are targetting people who are close with Captain," says Buggy with a displeased expression.

"That's exactly why. Because they're close with the number 1 criminal in the world," replies Garp.

"He's the criminal, right? Then he was the one that should be punished. But what's the sin of those who are close to him? Is blood the source of sin? Or is it love? Besides, what are Captain sins?

"Did he ever kill or massacred civilians? Never. If it's about killing & massacring civilians, then you guys were the ones who did it a few months ago, on Ohara," says Buggy casually.

Garp flinched and looks at Buggy seriously, "Brat, how did you know that? That's a top-secret that not many people know, even high-ranked officers."

"I know more than you think," says Buggy calmly.

"You better not talk about it again, or it will put you & your crew in danger. You still can't take the consequences that it will create," warns Garp.

"I know," says Buggy.

"OE! OE! OE!" a baby's cry is heard from the house.

Buggy & Garp turn their head and look at each other. Garp wants to get inside, but Buggy stops him.

"The procedure hasn't finished. My crew will tell us if it's finished," says Buggy.

"Hmph, a brat is telling me what to do," grumbles Garp, but he still stands back.

Sometime later, Cricket calls Buggy from inside, signaling that the procedure has finished. Buggy & Garp now enter the house and go to Rouge's room.

The Clowns get surprised and alert when they see Garp. But Buggy tells them to calm down and not do anything. Garp doesn't come here for them, after all.

They know that Garp will take care of Rouge & her baby from now on. But they still can't forget what Garp did to Buggy, so they are still angry at Garp.

Garp sees this and grins, "Just getting angry won't change anything. Unless you become strong enough to defeat me, then you will just become like toothless dogs. Just bark and no bite."

The Clowns click their tongues and put down their fists. Garp grins seeing them still have the spirit and are ready to fight him even though they have calmed down.
