Akai No Hana's
Chapters 5.

“ Are you kidding Barthezi, Do not play your life you know... be more sincere, how much?” Buggy felt played with after hearing the money quote from Barthezi, he was on the verge of his anger.

“ Ahm... how about one jt give, it is sincere. Let me go and you'll get the money.” is still trying to persuade Buggy , but unfortunately Buggy has decided to send Barthezi to the marine and get his bounty compensation which revolves around him number 7 jt belly.

“ Gyahahaha... you are not sincere so go.” after finishing saying it Buggy's knife quickly sliced Barthezi's head. With the incident before the eyes of the rest of Barthezi's men directly left the restaurant without anyone seeing the captain anymore, whereas for the restaurant owner still wore an expression that was just as indifferent as Buggy's behavior.

“ Give me food... just serve what you have,” Buggy said as he glanced at the restaurant owner. After ordering food Buggy chose one of the tables located near the exit not to forget he dragged the body of Barthezi which he would later monetize.

In just a short while some food came out of the restaurant kitchen, smelling the smell of the food made Buggy's stomach sound aloud. The dish consists of meat, vegetables and soup. It didn't take long to finish the whole dish then Buggy paid the bill while asking where to gamble on this cork island.

After finding out the location of the gambling house Buggy returns to the ship first to leave Barthezi's corpse, and he goes on to the gambling house hoping to meet Rayleigh.

It was seen that the crowd was outside the gambling house, and there were clashes between them. Buggy immediately entered into the gambling house, inside the house there was only the sound of anger and frustration. But from all over the place there was only one table that caught his attention, where on the table was the figure he was looking for.

Buggy walked up to him and he nudged some passersby looking for a gambling table. One of the people Buggy nudged was furious and he threw his fist unfortunately Buggy avoided and ignored him.

Soon Buggy arrives at the table where Rayleigh is playing and he notices Rayleigh being serious as he plays and in a blink of an eye Rayleigh gets angry at losing the play and he loses quite a lot of money.

“ Yo. grandfather, you better finish this game. It's too much not if I make you lose all your money,” said the gambler in front of Rayleigh , he reminded Rayleigh to stop his game when he saw Rayleigh was about to spend the rest of his money.

“ You underestimated my ability, Tch... Tch. I will definitely take back my money... let's do.” Rayleigh did not heed the warnings of the gambler in front of him and chose to continue his game while enjoying the alcohol in his hands.

“ See grandfather better you go home and rest and do not come back here again or all your wealth will be lost.” The gambler in front of him persuades Rayleigh to leave his desk and asks him to go home.

“Tch... You are just lucky, haish... My money is up again better just find hahahahaha.” Rayleigh thought nothing of the words of the Gamblers in front of him and chose to drink his alcohol back while walking away from the gambling table.

“ Rayleigh-san long time no see.” Buggy greets Rayleigh who is about to leave the gambling table, he does not believe if Rayleigh's misfortune towards gambling is still the same as it used to be and does not experience the slightest improvement.

Hearing a familiar voice from behind him, Rayleigh soon learns that the person talking to him is Buggy after he looks back he confirms it, seeing Buggy's fresh, healthy condition, rayleigh's face showed a bright smile. He had not expected that he would meet Buggy back after so many years of not seeing him.

“ Buggy... hahahaha long time no see and you have become a dashing young man looking different from the past.” in a joking tone, Rayleigh replied to Buggy's greeting. The timid boy who had always been hiding behind his back had now turned into quite a dashing young man.

“ Nothing has changed Rayleigh-san. I'm still not as strong as you Gyahahaha.... Rayleigh-san just go right away I need your help.” Buggy did not want to delay any longer so he immediately expressed his purpose to meet Rayleigh.

“ Oh.... What kind of help Buggy, rarely do you ask something like this first. Don't tell me you want me to help you get the treasure no, it doesn't really interest me Buggy." Rayleigh guesses at Buggy's request, and he guesses if Buggy wants his help to obtain the treasure according to his thirst for treasure.

“ Gyahahaha... no Rayleigh-san, if that I can find it myself. I'm looking for you to help me train about Rayleigh-san's haki. Indeed, you wanted to teach me about Haki but I rejected him because finding treasure was more important than practicing". Given the past where he would be taught haki by Rayleigh but rejected it, instead of trying to do so, Buggy could only smile wryly as he retold it.

“Then....what's the reason you want to learn Haki Buggy, not that you just want to get the treasure alone and not too interested in this." Rayleigh was quite surprised by Buggy's request, he didn't think that someone like Buggy who was concerned about treasure compared to others would make a request like this, sparking Rayleigh's curiosity about Buggy's reasoning.

“ Look Rayleigh-san, after experiencing the bitterness of being chased by marines I feel that with my current strength it will be very difficult to face them and my goal of finding treasure will always be hindered. But it would all be different if I was able to understand Haki, I would definitely be able to wade through the ocean looking for treasure in the quiet of Rayleig-san,” Buggy said clearly.
