Chapter 78: Recovery

Name:Transcended as Lord Buggy Author:
Chapter 78: Recovery

Buggy is laying on a bed in Rouge's house now. His body is full of bandages like a mummy. He finally open his eyes after being unconscious for 6 hours.

Buggy wants to move because he remembers that he was fighting Garp. But he can't move his body, so he looks at his body. He sees the white bandages that cover his body and leave nothing visible.

'What happened here? Where am I?' thinks Buggy after realizing that he is not fighting Garp anymore.

Buggy tries to remember what happened and finally realizes that he has been defeated by Garp. He looks around and thinks that this is a room in Marine Ship. He thinks he has been captured.

But then he realizes that his hands aren't cuffed with seastones. There's no way Marine will detain a devil fruit user without a seastone handcuff.

'Is this not the Marine ship?' asks Buggy in his mind.

Buggy suddenly hears a door being open and sees Manba there.

"Captain, you've finally woken up," says Manba excitedly. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

"Manba? Where is this?" asks Buggy.

"This is Rouge's house, we took you here after I gave you the first treatment. I've given you a thorough check and treatment here. How are you feeling?" asks Manba.

"I don't feel so good," replies Buggy while smirking.

Manba smile seeing Buggy smirks and says, "If you still can smirk like that, then you will be fine. I'll call the others."

Manba leaves the room to call the others. Buggy then hears many footsteps of running people in the corridor. Then all his crewmates arrive at the same time. They try to enter the door together and jam it, making them can't enter the room.

"Sigh, enter it one by one!" says Buggy.

The Clowns stop and enter the room one by one. They surround Buggy and ask about his condition. Buggy doesn't answer and asks Manba instead. Manba says that he just needs rest now until he recovers.

"Who's your opponent, Captain?" asks Cricket.

The others are curious too about the one who can put Buggy in this state.

"Monkey D. Garp, the Marine Hero," says Buggy.

They all get surprised because they all know who Garp is. He is a very famous figure in Marine and almost everyone knows him. Garp is even more famous than the Admiral or even Fleet Admiral since he became the 'Marine Hero'.

Buggy then decides to upgrade his training even though it's hard enough already. If he doesn't push himself, then he won't grow. If he doesn't grow stronger, then he & his crew won't survive. Their enemies will keep getting stronger, so they need to be stronger too.

Buggy's crewmates also have the same thinking as him. Especially after they see their super-strong captain almost die 2 days ago. Now they know that people at Garp's level have started to target them.

The Clown Pirates then start to train a lot harder than usual. They are still taking care of Rouge in the middle of their training. Their priority now is Rouge, they can train after they leave this island. But Rouge's treatment can't be halted.

For the last 2 weeks, they keep training and taking care of Rouge. No one slacked off even if they are very tired. They've talked with Buggy about their training, and Buggy has set a standard for them.

"All of us need to be able to use haki, at least one type before going to Grandline," says Buggy.

"Even me?" asks Manba.

"Even you. I will teach you haki after Rouge gives birth. So we will stay in South Blue for some months while exploring it. Garp didn't catch me, it will make the Marine warier of us," says Buggy.

"They will be warier of us because they thought that we can escape from Garp. Is that what you meant?" asks Jude.

"Yeah. Garp is very strong and not many people can escape his grasp. So we need to be careful now. The moment we enter Grandline, then the ones who target us will be Vice-Admiral at least," says Buggy.

Everyone now has serious expression and knows the severity of that situation. Vice-Admiral's powers are varying, but they're still one of the strongest forces in Marine. So they can't be underestimated.

Buggy also talks with everyone including Rouge about Roger's & Garp's cooperation in the God Valley incident. It was the reason Garp got his title. That's also the reason why Roger trusted Garp.

Buggy has told them why Garp didn't catch him. The Clowns are surprised that Garp will take care of Rouge & her baby. Rouge herself isn't surprised by it, because Roger has told her about it.

2 weeks passed with the Clowns keep training & taking care of Rouge. Rouge's conditions keep improving because of Manba's treatment and her strong will to live with her baby. Then finally, the time for Rouge to give birth has come.
