Akai No Hana's
Chapter 14's

Buggy turned his head left and right, looking for other candidates he would bring to be his subordinates, constantly searching relentlessly, Buggy could not find anyone who had great abilities. From the wanted poster, only Tomonori attracted his attention while others were too ordinary.

By paying attention to the pirates who were partying and even recruited new members, Buggy understood how weak his group was. At first he did not want to expand his subordinates because the ship he owned was still small in size. Only with the help of Barosa and 30 crew members. Buggy observes the pirate group in search of other candidates to increase his strength.

Although many of them had the potential to grow stronger, Buggy was not interested and he returned to his ship to continue his journey. Buggy does not want to be on Danba Island for too long, he wants to set sail to find some pirate group stronger than his own.

While at the dock, Buggy sees Barosa ordering his crew to transport the ship's food supplies, and Buggy goes to the deck of the ship and into his room to determine the next direction. Buggy was with one of his crew members who knew how to read maps and became his navigator.

Inside the room, the two of them continued to discuss until a noise was heard from outside the room and Buggy went to look at it. When he was outside and saw the cause of the commotion, he smiled widely and did not worry because the cause of the commotion was the fight between Barosa and Tomonori.

The two of them fought weapons for quite a while and at this moment Buggy could tell how capable the two of them were. Barosa with his sword and Tomonori who is great at using an axe as his main weapon, they both continue to struggle and become the center of attention by the residents who are on the dock.

Buggy sendiri tidak memiliki niatan untuk melerai mereka dan terus mengamati sambil tertawa dan menenggak sebotol bir yang ditemani sepotong daging, makanan itu dibawa oleh salah satu awak kapalnya. Buggy sangat menikmati pertarungan mereka, sesekali dia mengubah pandangannya menjadi serius, bukan dirinya tidak menghargai mereka berdua namun dari pertarungan ini dia mulai memikirkan posisi yang akan dimiliki Barosa dan Tomonori. Kecepatan Tomonori lebih baik dari Barosa namun kekuatannya berada di bawah Barosa, begitu pertarungan menjadi semakin tidak terkendali, Buggy pun melerai mereka.

“What a good performance, you two are fit to be a captain but you won't be able to match me... Hahahaha... Then you guys get rid of this fight and get into the deck of the ship because we will sail today,” exclaimed Buggy while boasting of his strength.

Barosa went straight into the ship leaving Tomonori alone, she did not think about Buggy's words because that was the reality, in addition to reflecting on the strength Tomonori showed. Barosa was convinced that if the fight continued, the chances of him winning the fight were very small because he could not keep up with Tomonori's speed.

“What about you, Tomonori? Have you decided to join me or have you come here to avenge your subordinates? If you decide to join.. hurry up because we will leave this island,” exclaimed Buggy who questioned Tomonori's decision. He was unsure of what decision Tomonori made after seeing her fight with Barosa.

Tomonori was silent, she did not respond to the question Buggy asked and she immediately jumped onto the ship, her gaze still unfriendly when she saw Buggy or Barosa. He felt that if the two of them were worthy opponents to be reckoned with especially Buggy, he felt that he could not defeat him in any way.

Their journey was too quiet without any significant obstacles and in those peaceful days Buggy continued his research to perfect Buggy-dama and continued to train to strengthen his body. For days without any worrying events, Buggy managed to strengthen his Buggy-Dama.

In those peaceful days Barosa and Tomonori were taught haki by Buggy. They were trained to be able to use the Busho-shoku Haki, from which Barosa's training progressed faster than Tomonori's, but Buggy understood this, in addition, Tomonori is no less fast in absorbing Buggy's teachings.

The two of them continued to deepen the knowledge Buggy taught during the sailing ship, the days they practiced and from each training, they felt a difference in their bodies especially strength. In addition to teaching the two men, Buggy asked the crew to change shifts in keeping the ship sailing.

The shift change is divided into two, namely day and night, where all of it rotates so that each crew can feel both times. Buggy was astonished by the deserted ocean without meeting the Navy or the Pirates, he was eager to meet the two groups and plunder them, he said, and what he expected the most was a meeting with a group of Pirates who had a high bounty value.

After training Barosa and Tomonori, Buggy let go of his tiredness by enjoying a piece of meat, vegetables, and, and a glass of beer while looking at the beautiful charm that arises from the fusion of the blue sky with the swirling clouds and the sea that is so blue and pure.

“Humm... It's too quiet and I love it. Unfortunately I also enjoy the crowd, where the fuckers are. Why doesn't anyone show me the stem of his nose?” Buggy bit off a piece of meat while grumbling in annoyance at not being able to find a single group of Pirates.

The quiet ride was so boring for Buggy, several times he just stayed in his room while reading the newspaper dropped by the storks or the newspaper bearer. From the newspaper that Buggy can find out a variety of new information including news about the mention of Shanks as a Yonkou that makes himself angry.

In addition to the news there are also some news about Navy policy and the most interesting thing is the information about the various groups of Pirates that messed up on the Grand Line, they were so violent and messed with the world. Many of them committed looting and various senseless crimes that infuriated the Navy.

The news about the Pirate group is what makes Buggy excited, he can't wait to meet one of them to destroy it and take the wealth they have including the crew.

NB: Marine.
