Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 2

305. The Real Plan

A day after the Clown Pirates arrived in Orange Town, Buggy explores it with his family. The training with his old partners has been delayed because the 2 of them think that it's too sudden. They also said that he needs to enjoy his time first since he has just come back after 3 years.

He agreed with them and now he explores the town with his family. His crewmates also do what they want as usual and the townfolks accept them really fast because they are their Buggy's crewmates. He is like everyone's favorite here that they don't mind him being a pirate.

When Buggy walks around with his family, a boy suddenly calls him from afar. He looks at the boy and recognizes the boy immediately. The boy is the one who was training with him when he lived here, Rio, which has turned 12 now.

"Bro Buggy!" shouts Rio from afar.

"Oh, look who's this? Isn't this the persistent brat, Rio?" asks Buggy while smirking.

"So it's really you, you've really returned," says Rio happily.

"You didn't know? I have arrived yesterday, you know," says Buggy.

"I was not in the town because I followed one of our ships selling items on the other islands. We've just returned, then I heard that you've come back," says Rio.

"Oh, no wonder. But what is this? You look happy after finding out that I've come back. Didn't you say you'll be a Marine and catch me? Then you shouldn't be happy seeing a pirate in your town," says Buggy while smirking.

"Well, that's true, and it won't change. But I never have a problem if the pirate who comes to my town is you. I will still catch you after I become a Marine though. Anyway, I'm excited seeing you've come back because I can finally show you the result of my 3 years of training," says Rio.

Buggy laughs and says, "HAHAHA, so you just want to show off. Fine, come at me, show me what you've got."

Rio nods and looks at Bellemere who takes the little girls away from the 2 of them. Then Rio focuses on Buggy and rushes to attack. Rio is attacking Buggy using a rapier with fast and agile movements.

He is very fast and agile for his age, which makes Bellemere impressed. His strength is also good, and at this level, Rio can defeat many adults already. However, Buggy isn't included among those adults.

"What's wrong? Is this all you've got? Do you want to show off to me with this level of power? If you only get this stronger in 3 years, then you will never catch up to me. Forget about catching me, you won't even be able to enter Grandline, or join the Marine HQ, and become an officer," says Buggy mockingly while avoiding Rio's attacks with slight movements.

Rio grits his teeth in frustration because none of his attacks hit Buggy. Buggy also dodges his attacks narrowly with minimal movements. It's like Buggy is taunting him, but he can't do anything about it.

In the end, Rio gets tired and falls to the ground because of fatigue after 8 minutes. Buggy grins and crouches in front of him before flicking his head. The little flick sends Rio flying a few meters away.

"ARGH! DAMMIT, IT HURTS!" shouts Rio in pain as he rubs his forehead.

Buggy just smirks seeing that, "Hah, if that kind of attack could make you cry, then you are still far from ready, kid. Don't be a marine, you'll just get killed."

"Oi, B, don't be like that to a kid, you are too harsh," says Bellemere.

"It's fine, that guy is not as fragile as you think," says Buggy.

Rio confirms that himself by shouting back & cursing at Buggy before going away to train harder. Bellemere is surprised to see Rio doesn't even shed a tear after hearing Buggy's mockery. He gets even more spirited and determined instead.
