Buggy receives the news that the Straw Hat alliance has started their training in Wano. He isn't surprised and instead, it makes him excited to see their progress. Some schemes also pop out in his mind for when the kids are done with their training.

He really likes scheming and manipulating things behind the scenes. It's fun to see things going as he planned. He likes it even more if his plans don't work and he needs to make adjustments. It becomes a challenge for him, that's why he likes it.

There aren't many people who can threaten him, so it's difficult for Buggy to have challenging battles. That's why he needs to find other types of entertainment for himself and scheming things is his new hobby now.

"Tsk, doing things slowly is getting boring now. I also want to get involved directly too. Hmm, then let's not hold back and do everything at once. Let's make this chaotic, very chaotic that even I can't predict the result."

Buggy grins widely as he imagines how his plan will run. He can imagine many things that could happen in this plan, but even he isn't sure if any of those would happen because he only sets the stage. How it will play depends on the people involved and he can't predict the outcome.

"This will change everything in the world and people will remember it for hundreds of years, HAHAHA!"

"That's too far-fetched, Captain. People would forget even the biggest event in a few decades or even sooner if something bigger happens in the future."

"Tsk, shut it, Deon, don't ruin the mood. I just want it to sound really grand."

"It sounds more like an exaggerated plan that's impossible to execute instead of a grand plan."

"How'd you know? I haven't even told you my plan."

"I don't know. I just want to drop your expectations so you won't expect too much and get too disappointed later when it doesn't work."

Buggy's face darkens and Deon suddenly has a very bad feeling. Then before Deon realizes it, he has gotten punched in the face and flies out of the room. He flies from the castle in the middle of the island and drops on the beach, head first.

"What a persistent & tough guy. He really likes to piss you off and never stops even though he suffers every time."

"That's what you call a big idiot."

"Anyway, what's the plan that makes you that excited?"

Buggy grins and tells his executives about his plan. They start frowning deeper and deeper as Buggy tells them his plan even though they are used to doing crazy things. However, now they understand why Buggy is very excited because they can feel how exciting it will be if the plan works.

"This will surely go down in history no matter the result."

While Buggy is scheming things, the Straw Hat alliance is training seriously on Wano. They are very eager to get stronger after seeing the power of advanced haki or what Wano people call Ryuo. Now they understand why Ace said they won't have a chance against an Emperor crew before.

After all, the first thing that happened in their training was tasting the effect of Advanced Haki with their bodies. Oden showed them its power and effect when used in battles. All the main fighters couldn't even take a single hit from Oden even though they used their haki.

Those who are already proficient with armament and even conqueror haki are training to activate advanced haki. While those who still can't use it are training their normal haki. Many of them haven't even been able to use haki, so they are trying to activate it first because haki is very useful, even at the normal level.
