Chapter 167: Planning

Chapter 167: Planning

After leaving Water 7 with their new ship, The Clowns go to Sobo Island to pick up their remaining 22 crewmates. There's no way the 11 of them want to take care of this big ship by themselves. They need more crewmates, so they need those 22 now.

Buggy also plans to recruit more members along their journey in Paradise. What they need now are normal members of the crew. There are many positions that they need to fill in the crew, especially the lower ranks.

With the 11 of them and 22 members in Sobo Island, the Clowns now have 33 people. There are still 67 spots to fill because Buggy wants 100 crew members. His requirements are simple, loyalty, hard work, and has humanity

He doesn't need someone strong but not loyal, doesn't want to work hard, and even worse, doesn't have humanity. It's better to have a weak guy but have all those criteria because he can always train the guy.

Buggy believes in his ability to make any of his crewmates stronger. That's why strength isn't his first priority in recruitment. If Enel has become the one like in the series, then Buggy would never recruit him.

"You guys will start leading your own Team based on your jobs from now on. So you will need to start searching members for your Teams based on my criteria," says Buggy.

Cricket is Vice-Captain and will lead 1st Team composed of strongest fighters. Palu leads 2nd Team composed of shipwrights. Enel leads the 3rd Team composed of helmsmen that will take turns with him to control the ship.

Mantis will lead the 4th Team composed of Ship's Cooks. Manba leads the 5th Team composed of medics. Deon leads the 6th Team composed of intelligent personnel. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Brook leads the 7th Team composed of entertainers, especially musicians. They are pirates and always need music to fill their days. Ruff leads the 8th Team composed of scientists, it's needed, after all.

Magnus will also lead a Team even though he is a temporary member. His strength is too big to be put under another team, so Buggy wants him to lead one. He will lead the 9th Team, another team of fighters like the 1st Team.

As for Jude, she won't have any Team as she will work right under Buggy as a navigator. They just need one navigator right now because they only have 1 ship. Buggy hasn't planned to add another ship soon, so 1 navigator is enough.

Then Buggy allocated their Teams' quota including the leaders. The total of all team members plus their leaders is 98 because Buggy and Jude aren't included in any team.

1. 1st Team (Fighters): 25

2. 2nd Team (Shipwrights): 6

3. 3rd Team (Helmsmen): 4

4. 4th Team (Cooks): 8

5. 5th Team (Medics): 10

6. 6th Team (Spies): 10

7. 7th Team (Musicians): 10

"You look great, Nina. They didn't cause any trouble aren't they?" asks Buggy while giving her a lollipop.

"No, those uncles are very nice and always play with me. They also helped grandpa to caught fish every day," says Nina while taking the lollipop happily.

"UGH!" grunts the ex-Rainbow Pirates in pain.

Buggy suddenly hears some pained voices from behind and looks back. He sees the 22 guys are falling on their knees while holding their chests.

"It's very unfair," says a man.

"Why'd she call Captain and Ruff-san as brothers while we are uncles?" asks another man.

"We aren't that much older than them, we are still in our 20's," says another man.

"Late 20's," says Deon, not supporting his friends.

"Still-," says a man who can't finish his word.

They all just slumped down depressedly, making the executives sweatdrop at them.

"This crew really doesn't have any normal member, Yohohoho," says Brook jokingly.

"You don't say," retorts Palu with a sweatdrop.

Anyway, now The Clown Pirates have been completed. So they will start their journey to explore Paradise and recruit more crew members. What has awaits them in the future?
