Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 2

302. The Portgasses

After partying for some hours, Buggy leaves the village with Belle & their daughters. They go to the forest after Buggy gave instructions to Cricket. Buggy has asked where Rouge lived and Makino's father told him it is in Dadan's place, just like what he thought.

Of course, Makino's father didn't just tell him because they know each other. It's because Rouge has told him that if there's a boy named Buggy with a red nose searching for her, then he needs to tell Buggy her location, and Makino's father has just remembered it when Buggy asked.

Anyway, now Buggy & his family are walking in the forest. There are some wild animals looking at them but none dare to approach. Animals have a better sense of danger than humans, so they know how dangerous Buggy is and don't dare to approach.

After going around for a while, they finally find Dadan's mountain bandit's hideout. There are some people who are running outside. They aren't just running to train their bodies, they are chasing a little boy who holds some gold in his hands.

"ACE, YOU BRAT, STOP PLAYING WITH THOSE THINGS!" shouts a fat middle-aged woman with long curly orange hair.

"Ooh, so that's Dadan, and that little guy is Ace," says Buggy while watching the show.

A moment later, a woman in a wheelchair comes out of the house. It's Rouge who now can't walk since she gave birth to Ace. But at least she is alive because of Manba's treatment, so she can live with her son even though she can't walk again.

"Ace, stop playing, let's eat," says Rouge with a lot of affection.

Ace stops immediately and throws the gold to the ground before running to his mom. The bandits immediately jump to collect their hard-earned gold.

"What will we eat today?" asks little Ace.

"Vegetable soup," says Rouge while smiling.

Ace looks disappointed so he complains, "Eeh, I want to eat meat."

"Vegetables are also important, so you need to eat them too. But you are free to stay hungry for today if you don't want to eat the soup," says Rouge teasingly.

But Ace takes it seriously and he panics instantly because he knows his mother will really not give him any food if he doesn't eat the vegetable soup. So he rushes inside to eat the vegetable soup even though he wants meat. His mother's soup is delicious, so he doesn't hate it, he just prefers meat.

Rouge wants to follow Ace inside, but then Buggy approaches her. "You look healthier than the last time I saw you, Rouge."

Rouge turns around and sees Buggy. It surprises her but she's also happy seeing him. "Little Buggy, you came, it's been 3 years since I saw you."

"Pfft! Little Buggy," says Belle while giggling, followed by Nojiko & Nami, making Buggy gets embarrassed.

"Why do you call me 'Little Buggy' all of a sudden? I am a grown man, just use that 'Little' title on your son," says Buggy rather pissedly.

Rouge just giggles, so Buggy knows that she was just teasing him. Buggy sighs before he introduces Belle & the kids to Rouge. She is very surprised to know that Buggy already has a family now and she congratulates him.

Rouge invites Buggy's family to enter the house, which makes them get some stares from the bandits. This is still their hideout, but Rouge & Ace really make it their own and act as they like. She is really Ace's mother & Roger's lover, she acts similar to them.

Inside, they see Ace is eating his mother's cooking. He looks at them and then stares at Buggy's nose for a while before resuming his eating. Rouge introduces Buggy & his family but he doesn't look interested so he just nods.
