Chapter 318: Time Skip

Chapter 318: Time Skip

After finishing their exploration on Ruff's home island, they continue to explore Grandline. But they don't follow the route because they've done it when they first explore Paradise. So now they explore the First Islands on every route.

They've done this before, but they haven't had all these members. So they explore the First Islands again while expanding their business. They make The Caribbean's branches on all these islands stealthily.

The expansion needs to be hidden because they are being watched by their enemies. World Government and other organizations keep watching their movements, after all. So they need to be very careful with their movements.

Sometimes, they don't even need to recruit people to start their branch from the start. They just need to take over a small organization or even used small Nations' leaders in exchange for protection. But The Clowns don't make those places their territories and still build hidden organizations without the National leaders' knowledge as an assurance.

It takes 3 years for The Clown Pirates to finish exploring Paradise while doing their business. They can finish it faster, but they took their time to visit their families every once in a while. So Buggy can see his children's growth and his crewmates can see their families, for those who have it.

But just like what Buggy said, they never enter Grandline through Reverse Mountain. They were crossing Calm Belt back and forth, so Brook can keep his promise. Sometimes, they even found islands on Calm Belt.

But they didn't explore those islands because it was not the time yet. They just made Eternal Pose for those islands so that they can return in the future. Those islands were unexplored because Calm Belt itself is unexplored, so they are anticipating their trip there in the future.

These 3 years weren't easy even for The Clown Pirates. They've been chased by Marine, attacked by pirate crews or criminal organizations, and also bounty hunters. Luckily, they can handle all of those and didn't lose anyone. Some get injured or lost limbs, but Ruff could make prosthetics for them.

After exploring Paradise, they explore New World. Unlike when they explore Paradise, now they follow the Log Pose. It's because they didn't follow the Log Pose in the past. They were in a hurry to attack Beasts Pirates at that time.

So now they enjoy their adventure in New World and it is far more dangerous than Paradise. There are many strong enemies here and the sea itself is more challenging. The absurdity of the New World is unmatched by any sea in this world.

The enemies here are also unmatched by any place. In Paradise, not many people dare to attack them, only the ignorants or those who overestimate themselves. But in New World, their enemies aren't ignorant.

They know The Clown Pirates' level but still attack them. That means they have high confidence and they prove it by giving The Clown Pirates more fight. In New World, the only way for pirate crews to survive is to either join big crews or oppose & defeat them.

The Ninjas weren't just helping Fisher Tiger release the slaves, after all. They also created a lot of destruction in Mary Geoise that injured and even killed many Celestial Dragons. Furthermore, they stole many important documents from The World Government.

Because of that, The World Government is very furious. They know that there were people other than Fisher Tiger who get involved. There's no way that Fisher Tiger, a mere ex-slave could do all of those things, but they couldn't find out who was involved.

They have an organization that they suspect, but it's not The Clown Pirates. The Clowns are just pirates and they were busy in New World, after all. The World Government's biggest suspect is the organization that has started getting bigger, the Revolutionary Army.

Unlike Pirates, The Revolutionary Army is opposing Celestial Dragons openly. So the WG immediately suspected them to be involved in that incident. Of course, Buggy and his crew were laughing when that came out in the newspaper.

Almost 2 months have passed since that incident and it is almost time for another important event. The Sun Pirates that Fisher Tiger made will reach Foolshout Island soon. They go there to send Koala back home.

Buggy grins as he reads the report about Sun Pirates' movements, "Another chance to change the history. Now, what should I do?"
