Chapter 125: Punishment

Chapter 125: Punishment

*puru puru puru*

Buggy's denden mushi suddenly rings while he drinks a glass of iced water in front of Bani's house and looks at the tied-up pirates.

He picks up the denden mushi and says, "This is Clown Delivery, how can I help you?"

"By not saying a strange thing," says Cricket from the other end.

"It won't be a joke if it's not strange. So, why do you call me?" asks Buggy.

"We've finished the job and get a lot of money. There's even a high quantity of soil here. What should we do to them?" asks Cricket.

"Do what you like. I'm not interested in recruiting them at all. They can't be one since they killed civilians. I have my pride as a pirate who never kills innocent people and my crew members need to be like that too. So you can do what you think is right for them," says Buggy.

"Alright, I understand. Palu will be happy with this," says Cricket.

"He should be," says Buggy before closing the call.

"They've done?" asks Bani who just come out of his house.

"Yeah, they will return soon after taking care of the aftermath," says Buggy.

"No one is hurt, right?" asks Bani.

"If you ask about my crewmates, then they are fine. But if you ask about the Half-Wings, then they all are hurt," says Buggy while grinning.

"Why should I ask about those bastards? I'm just worried about my son and his friends," says Bani. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Bani sits on the chair beside Buggy and they have a conversation. It's mainly about Palu though because Bani still wants to know about his son. Buggy tells Bani what he knows because he also just met Palu a few months ago.

"Hey Bani, can you use Mantra?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, I was a warrior in the past and Mantra is a must for warriors like me. Do you want to learn it?" asks Bani.

"No need, I can use it already. We call it Observation Haki in Blue Sea. Most of our crew can use it, but Palu still can't use it now. He has just trained for 6 months, so it's understandable. But he grows fast and excels in another type of power."

"Maybe your training method will suit him better because it must've been improved to suit your race better. He is one of our crew's pillars in battle, so he needs to be strong. Mantra is very important and he needs it. Besides, this is a good chance to make a father & son bond, right?" asks Buggy.

"Sure, I have planned to do it anyway. I also planned to teach all of you because I didn't know that you can use it already," says Bani.

"Well, you can teach Deon too. He is our newest member and never know about this power before. As for Ruff, he needs to strengthen his base power first before learning this," says Buggy.

"Who knows? It's not our business anymore. We still give them a chance to survive, so that's good, right?" asks Palu.

"I guess. So, what now?" asks Deon.

"We return," says Cricket.

The Clowns return to Birka with their ship filled with treasures and soil. Although these shiny treasures won't have a high value on Birka, they will make them very rich after reaching the Blue Sea. The soil will be for Palu's parents' field that didn't have good harvests lately.

They arrived on Birka soon and dock their ship on a beach near Bani's house. Then they go to Bani's house while pulling a big sled that has 12 big crates filled with soil on it.

These crates are what they got from the Half-Wings, not the one that they brought from down there. They have another use for that soil and they can't use it without Buggy's permission.

They arrived at Bani's house in a few minutes and show the loot to Buggy, Bani, & Diane. The middle-aged couple is very surprised to see the soil. It's the most valuable item in Sky Islands, after all. Even God only has some pots of soil, but this is more than that.

"I can't believe they accumulated this much soil on their own," says Bani while touching the soil with trembling hands.

"Yeah, they worked hard for you. Now, this soil is yours. You can use it for your field," says Palu.

"What!? N-No, this is too much," says Diane.

"Too much? Does a son's gift for his parents ever be too much?" asks Palu.

"N-No, I-I mean," says Diane panicky.

"Just take it. I don't need this much soil in my ship," says Buggy.

Bani & Diane look at each other before finally agreeing to take the soil. They want to celebrate their success now, but then someone troublesome appears.

"What do you want now, Enel?" asks Buggy as Enel walks to them.

Enel stops and points at Cricket before saying, "Let me fight that diamond head."
