Chapter 199: Ryugu Palace

Chapter 199: Ryugu Palace

After receiving the news that some of his crewmates are getting captured by the local Police, Buggy goes to the base where they get taken to. He will take them out of there even if he needs to punch Neptune's face.

Jude, Dela, Alan, & Elen also follow him because they are worried about their crewmates. Also, they are worried that Buggy might destroy Fishman Island if he gets angry by their crewmates' capture. They need to calm him down if that happens.

Their group reaches the base location after some minutes of walk and they've met with Cricket & Mantis on the way. Of course, the 2 follow them to the base because they have the same thinking as Buggy's group.

When they enter the base, their crewmates are being interrogated by the authorities. These people thought that The Clowns were trying to capture the Fishmen too by snatching the captured ones from those pirates.

"Snatching them? Ridiculous. If we want to capture some Fishmen, we wouldn't do such a roundabout way. We'll just capture the ones on the street rather than bother fighting some pirates," says Buggy to the Police Captain who is a Puffer Fish Fishman.

"W-Well, that's true, but we can't just assume it like that because there were some cases like that. So we still need to question them," says the Police Captain.

"But they didn't even try to catch the hostages, right? Then there is no proof to your accusation," says Buggy. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

"Still, we can't just let them go because they were fighting in the public area," says the Police Captain.

"Then, do you prefer your citizens getting captured by those pirates and be sold as slaves on Sabaody?" says Buggy.

"Still-," says the Police Captain before someone interrupts him.

"What happened here, jamon?" asks King Neptune who has just come after hearing that there is a big problem in his Kingdom.

"Neptune-sama!?" says the Police Captain in surprise.

"Yo, Neptune. Long time no see," greets Buggy.

"Hmm? Who are you, jamon?" asks Neptune in confusion.

"Huh? You don't remember me? I am Roger Pirates' apprentice," says Buggy.

Neptune tries to remember as he looks at Buggy's nose before he says, "Ah, you are that kid from Roger Pirates. Hahaha, sorry that I don't remember you, it's been a few years, after all. So you've made your own crew, huh? I've seen your bounty posters a few times but I don't recognize you. I've also met with your red-haired friend a few months ago who has made his own crew too. What are you doing here?"

"I come to retrieve my crewmates," says Buggy.

Neptune looks at the Police Captain who explains what happened. It makes Neptune sigh then he asks the Police Captain to release Buggy's crewmates. He knows that even if The Clowns are guilty, antagonizing Buggy is not a good thing to do.

"It's okay. I am happy instead because it's rare for me to meet humans who don't care about our race's difference," says Otohime.

"Races, huh? Now that you mention it, I want to discuss that topic with you," says Buggy.

"Eh? You want to discuss it? Are you also want to make our races live alongside each other?" asks Otohime happily.

"Of course, I want it, but that's not the point of what I want to talk with you. Otohime, I know you have a good intention and I appreciate that. But if you keep doing this campaign like this, then you won't succeed," says Buggy seriously.

Neptune & Otohime widen their eyes before they look down.

"That's... I know my chance is low, but if I don't do this, then nothing will change," says Otohime.

"You are correct, and I never said that you shouldn't do anything. What I mean is that you need a different approach and you need to learn more about this. Tell me, what do you know about the world up there?" asks Buggy.

Otohime tells him what she knows about the world outside of Fishman Island. But just like what Buggy thought, she doesn't know a lot. She just knows a few things because the access to information from the outside world is limited here.

"That's not good, Otohime. You know too little about the world. You need more information and this is not enough. If even you as a Queen only know this much, then what about the normal people? They don't have better access than you so they'll know even less. How will they agree with you if they don't know anything?" asks Buggy.

Otohime looks down before she asks, "Then, what should I do?"

Buggy smiles and then says, "Don't be too sad. I won't bring up this topic if I don't have the solution."
