Akai No Hana's
Chapter 12's

“Captain.. to the northwest there is a pirate ship with the new Jolly Roger,” said a soldier from the main deck on Captain Marjuan who was on the bridge of the ship, Jolly Roger., then a deep voice came from Captain Marjuan, “What need I shout.. It is your duty to destroy those damn pirates.”.

The soldiers immediately entered into their positions, carrying a rifle and some of them began to prepare cannons. The entire cannon was pointed accurately towards Buggy's ship. Captain Marjuan also participated in the main deck of the ship, he carried a large axe.

The distance between the two ships was getting closer and Buggy and his crew were also ready to make an attack, they prepared some cannons and fired cannons at the Marine ship. Four cannons were activated at the same time, from the Marine himself also firing cannons.

The cannon fire did not meet the target and missed, some iron balls were also destroyed by both sides. The two ships continued to narrow the distance and finally clashed, Buggy immediately got into the marine ship, he used his special ability to split his body.

With Bara-bara no Teleport, Buggy managed to get inside the Marine Ship and without waiting for his subordinates, he attacked the soldiers. With just his physical abilities alone many soldiers fell drenched in blood, the rifles they held were completely dysfunctional.

Buggy moved agilely, he jumped up and swung his dagger nimbly. The soldiers fell down one by one every time Buggy swung his dagger. He did not stop despite being besieged, Buggy continued to move dodging the bullets that led to him and attacking the soldiers by throwing his dagger.

Barosa and the 30 crew members got into the Marine ship, they shouted and swung their swords, they attacked every soldier who blocked it. Barosa moved freely inside the ship, he swung his sword until it made the soldiers avoid it, then Captain Marjuan took action by pointing his weapon at Barosa.

Barosa used one of the soldiers as his shield when Captain Marjuan swung his weapon, the soldier died with an axe scar, Barosa rushes to deliver an attack on Captain Marjuan as soon as the soldier he used falls to the deck.

Captain Marjuan dodged the attack by tilting his body and then swinging his axe, Barosa held him back and kicked Captain Marjuan. He swung his sword as soon as Captain Marjuan was pushed, his strength was enough to make Captain Marjuan feel danger.

Captain Marjuan continued to dodge Barosa's attacks and he furiously dodged every lightning-fast swing of the sword from Barosa. Four swings of Barosa's sword lay down, each swing urging Captain Marjuan and making Captain Barosa continue to retreat until it hit the wall.

While about to give the final attack, Barosa was confronted by some soldiers who had better skills than ordinary soldiers. As Captain Marjuan was about to attack the soldiers, Buggy threw his dagger quickly and accurately into Captain Marjuan's feet.

The soldiers gasped in silence as they saw the leader fall weakly and bleed from his head, Barosa took advantage of the opportunity to slash at the soldiers who swarmed him. Buggy did not waste the opportunity and directly ordered the entire crew not to leave a single soldier.

After that, Buggy asked his subordinates to take all the weapons and supplies of the ship, and plunder everything of value including the cannons and bullets. Buggy takes the mantle that Captain Marjuan wears, a coat that indicates the identity of a Marine. Buggy took it because it has a good design and fits him, not spared himself also took the captain's hat.

When he returned to his ship, Buggy felt that his subordinates were reduced and when he counted them, he felt very upset about losing 10 subordinates and they only numbered 20 now.

“What do we get, Barosa?” asked Buggy who was curious about the loot, Barosa also replied to Buggy's question happily, “Captain, then cold weapons such as swords and axes, the standard firearms are muskets.

The musket itself has been modified in such a way that it can be used continuously, not just once. In addition they also took the Grape Shot, the contents of the cannon they used, the Carronade.

They also found some treasures that were quite a lot with the amount of almost 2 million bellies, not only that they also took posters of pirates and fugitives with various kinds of bounties, he said, Buggy was very pleased with this whole advantage and they immediately sailed to the next Island to get a new crew.

Buggy himself hopes that they meet a group of Pirates so that he can absorb the crew in the group and get money from the bounty owned by the captain.

Sailing for two full days at sea, not at all seen a ship or island, in filling the time vacuum, Buggy back train his subordinates in turns and continue sailing. The training Buggy gave was difficult and cruel, they were not given time to rest after a full day of training and immediately continued their work.

After sailing for almost an entire week, they finally arrived at a populated island and on the island quite a number of ships were docked and had Jolly Roger, which was the name of the ship, Buggy looked at every Jolly Roger that existed and searched on the poster he had previously taken, Buggy wanted to find the group of Pirates with high Bounty.

“ No... not this one, no... no.. they are too cheap, only in the range of 5-10 million belly, there is nothing higher than this. Damn it.. Why is it that only a weak figure like this is here, how can I raise my subordinates if all I take is just trash?” muttered Buggy who kept flipping through pirate posters.
