Chapter 140: Raised Head Prices

Chapter 140: Raised Head Prices

After docking the ship on the hidden coast, The Clowns leave to explore the island. Palu stays on the ship to guard it while the others go to the town. Buggy gave them pocket money before they leave.

They go in groups to explore the island. Buggy goes with Jude and Deon, Manba goes with Enel and Ruff, while Cricket goes with Mantis. Each group has a different plan and task in their exploration.

Buggy's group will gather information and Buggy will teach Deon to do it. Cricket's group will buy food ingredients, while Manba's group will walk around the town and buy their crew's other needs.

After splitting with the other groups, Buggy's group goes to the Blackmarket. They'll buy information like usual because it's the easiest way to get it.

There aren't many big events in the last month when The Clowns were on Birka. It's still about new pirate crews that keep appearing. But 2 things caught his interest, the first thing is their bounties raise.

"Oho, we get new bounties now," says Buggy excitedly. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

"Really?!" says Jude & Deon as they approach Buggy.

Buggy 'The Clown': 350 million

Montblanc 'Chestnut' Cricket: 200 million

'Black Hammer' Palu: 135 million

Mantis 'The Dancer': 110 million

'Ash Girl' Ariella Jude: 70 million

'Fatman' Manba: 64 million

'Rainbow Hair' Bunglon Deon: 52 million

Enel 'The Thunder': 35 million

Total: 1.012 billion

"Damn, Enel already gets his bounty," says Deon.

"Why'd they raise our bounties? And how could they know about Enel? He just get started and this is the first island that he visited since he joined," says Jude curiously.

Buggy flips some pages of the information papers and finds out the reason for that.

"Heh, apparently those Iron Shovel guys were sending distress signals because they couldn't leave that place. Their distress signal was caught by a nearby ship, too bad that it was a Marine ship led by Vice-Admiral Borsalino. So they were caught and imprisoned. It seems they told the Marine about us," says Buggy.

"Oh, then what about Enel's bounty?" asks Jude.

"He got a bounty because of his devil fruit. A logia is always considered as strong & dangerous devil fruit. His lightning ability is also considered to be more dangerous than yours. So the Marine thinks he has a big danger potential. But he is still weak, so he only gets 35 million," explains Buggy.

If Doflamingo starts to sail on Grandline and do things like Buggy, then maybe he can be stronger than when he fight with Luffy. He is older than Buggy & Shanks and has activated his Conqueror Haki at a young age.

Doffy has more time to train than Buggy, but he stays in North Blue for too long. So his opponents are weak and he can't grow by fighting strong people. Even after he sails on Grandline, Doffy focuses more on his scheme rather than raising his power.

"Who is he, Captain?" asks Deon.

"Just a small pirate from North Blue, not worth our time," says Buggy while smirking.

"Is he those slave traders' friend?" asks Jude.

"Business partner. He is someone who won't see other people outside of his 'Family' as his friends. Maybe he's the supplier who caught those people," says Buggy as they leave the room.

"Hmph, I don't like people who enslaved others. I will beat him up if he ever shows up in front of me," says Jude angrily.

"Hahaha, I'll leave him to you, then. You can castrate him if you want," says Buggy as he walks away to leave the location.

"Ca-Captain, I-I'm not that cruel," says Jude as she chases Buggy.

Deon laughs seeing that and follows them. Buggy's group leaves and goes to explore the town now. The 3 of them walk around the town while chit-chatting. Some bounty hunters look at them but don't do anything because the 3 of them are too strong for these bounty hunters.

"Such big fishes, too big actually. We shouldn't bite more than we can chew or we will be the ones who get bitten," says a man.

"Let's find other targets," says another man.

The other bounty hunters agree and leave the location. Buggy smirks seeing them leave, but then he remembers those stupid bounty hunters and that bastard Angelo.

"I hope there won't be idiots like them again. It's just too troublesome," says Buggy as he continues his walk.

Luckily, there's no trouble in their exploration and the bounty hunters know their place. The Clowns have a big party on their ship that night. They always like parties, and their new bounties are worth a big celebration.
