Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 2

349. Doggy

Bellemere is clearly angry at Buggy about something. She is angry because he brought a dog for Nojiko. After all, Bellemere has refused Nojiko's request to raise a dog for a long time, but now Buggy suddenly brought one home.

It's not without reason that Bellemere doesn't allow Nojiko to keep a dog as a pet. She is just worried because she thinks that Nojiko isn't ready yet to take care of a pet. There are many things to think about & consider while taking care of pets, after all.

Her biggest concern is if the pet dies, she's worried that it will make Nojiko devastated. A pet needs a lot of care and if something goes wrong, it can get sick & die. So she's not hating the idea of having a pet, she's just worried as a mother.

She wasn't this worrywart in the past, but after having Leo, she became easier to worry about things. Well, how can she not? Her husband can die anytime and her family also can be attacked at any time by Buggy's enemies. Even with all things that Buggy does to ensure their safety, she is still worried about her children's safety.

"Don't worry, Belle, this dog was chosen carefully and Manba has checked its health thoroughly. It's a tough dog that can live in many extreme conditions that are imaginable in East Blue. This place is basically a Paradise for its species because it's very good here. It also lives long, almost as long as humans as it can reach 50 to 60 years old," says Buggy to ensure Bellemere.

"Are you sure it won't die in a year?" asks Bellemere.

"It won't, unless it gets killed," says Buggy.

"NO ONE WILL KILL FRIES!" shouts Nojiko while hugging the puppy.

"Fries?" asks Buggy & Bellemere confusedly.

"Yeah, Fries. She has golden brown fur, which reminds me of the Fries that aunty Mantis made once. So I named her Fries," says Nojiko happily.

"Oh, alright, that's a cute name, although it makes me hungry. But darling, that puppy isn't her, it's a boy," says Buggy.

"Eh? Really?" asks Nojiko in surprise.

She looks at the puppy and it looks back at her normally. But Nojiko imagines it as the puppy being sad to be mistaken for a female. So she hugs it and apologizes to the dog, but still doesn't change its name.

"Don't worry too much, Belle. The most important thing is the kids' happiness," says Buggy.

Nojiko looks at Bellemere hopefully with puppy eyes. Nami & Leo copy her because now they also want to keep the dog after seeing how cute it is. Even Buggy joins the kids to have fun, which makes this 4 vs 1.

Uh, it's actually 5 vs 1 because the dog also looks at Bellemere with real puppy eyes. The hopeful gazes stab her chest and eventually, she gives up. She agrees to keep the dog that looks similar to a golden retriever.

The kids & Buggy dance happily because Bellemere agrees to keep the dog. Bellemere can only sigh seeing it even though because she has just lost. But seeing her family happy removes her disappointment of losing instantly.

There's one thing that Buggy doesn't tell her & the kids though. Fries's species can grow as big as horses, and cows, or a little bigger than them. Its species also can become very strong that even strong pirates in Paradise will have a hard time fighting it.

But it's a loyal dog once it follows someone as its master. Making this dog follow someone as its master is also quite easy. As long as one raises it since it's a baby, it will follow them till death, that's why Buggy brought a very young puppy.

It's not an aggressive dog too because unless it gets disturbed, it won't attack anyone. Basically, it's a normal dog that can become a pet. People are just afraid of it because it's big as an adult and furthermore, it eats a lot.
