"Right now? Can't we wait until we arrived in New World?"

Shanks responds to Buggy who jumped on his ship after sending the former Big Mom Pirate and the Okamas away.

"No, you don't need to return to New World, after all."

"What do you mean?"

"No need to be on edge. I just want to ask you to go meet your daughter and take care of her."

"Does something happen to her?"

Dela also gets on the Red Force and gives Buggy a very thick stack of paper. He doesn't read it and just throws it to Benn Beckman.

"Everything you need to know is there."

"Why are you giving it to Benn?"

"He looks like he can read."

Shanks gets pissed because Buggy basically just insulted him by saying that he can't read. Well, it's true that Benn is smarter than him though, so he can't complain. Besides, there are a lot of papers in that stack, so there must be a lot of things written there, making him lose interest to read it.

"Ah, my son is also there. This is the real request because taking care of your daughter is your responsibility, so the request is about my son. I want you to train him. You should know this, but the Straw Hat Pirates aren't ready for New World yet. Especially the New World after this war. If Straw Hat cares about his crewmates, then he won't go to New World immediately and asks them to get stronger first."

"So you want me to train Leo until their crew is ready? Damn, Buggy, it might take a long time."

"I know, but you'll want to stay there after you know what happened to your daughter."

"What do you mean? What happened to Uta?"

"That's for you to find out. It's your own fault for not observing her well enough. Even if you left her there for her sake, it doesn't mean you don't have responsibility anymore. At the very least, you should know how she was doing. I've told you many times to check on her often but you never listened. Anyway, if you're worried about your people in New World, then just send your crew back to take care of them. I'll also help you because you'll take care of my son for a while."

Buggy doesn't even wait for an answer and goes back to his ship. Shanks want to ask a lot more things, but Benn suddenly stops him. Benn's expression is stern, so Shanks know that something serious must've happened to Uta.

"My crew's apprentices are on their way to that island too. They will help you if needed and they also bring some good stuff for you. Those things are a little payment for training Leo and for your help at the war just now."

Buggy leaves with his crew after saying that. Leaving Red Hair Pirates that stay silent for some time before departing too. Shanks and his crew look serious after Benn told them what was written in the papers he got from Buggy.

The Red Hair Pirates are on their way to the island where Uta lives. Meanwhile, the Clown Pirates are going to Sabaody to coat their ship. Of course, the other ships that will go back to New World are on Sabaody too because they all need to be coated.

But Buggy also has another business in Sabaody, which is picking up someone he left before the war. She goes to Shakky's bar with his crew's executives. A little girl is crouching near a table and an unconscious man. She is checking the man's pockets for money.

"Shakky, I never asked you to teach my little girl to rob a customer."

"How rude. I just taught her to do good business and avoid loss."
