Capítulo 171: 171. Jaya Island
It takes 2 days for the Clowns to reach the last 2nd island from Little Garden. This is a small island with a small town on it. But this town is quite dangerous because it's full of lawless people like pirates, bandits, etc, just like Mock Town on Jaya.
It's not a problem for the Clowns though because these people are too weak for them. There's no real threat on this island, so they just enjoy their visit like tourists. Some idiots try to mess with them though and get beaten miserably.
The Clowns try to get some new recruits on this island, but it's hard to find what they wanted. Luckily, they can find 5 new members here, which are composed of 2 men and 3 women. The men enter Cricket's team, 2 women enter Brook's team as musicians, while the last woman enters Mantis's team.
Brook is very happy to get 2 team members, especially because they are women. He tries to ask them to show their panties, but Mantis beats him up before it happens. She can't let him scare the new members more than he has with his scary appearance.
They stay for 2 days before leaving the island and go to their next destination, Jaya Island. Cricket is very anticipating this because this will be his time to finish his business with Norland. This is his battle with the man who has ruined his life.
The crew finally arrived on Jaya after 5 days of sailing. Just like the Straw Hats, they get their log pose pointed to the sky. The new members are confused and still can't believe the Sky Island's existence even after Buggy explained it.
"Well, it doesn't matter whether you believe it now or not. The best way to prove it is by going there. For now, we will go to the town. But we can't stay for too long because we need to prepare our ship. So we will go to an empty coast later," says Buggy.
"Hmm? Will we make a hot-air balloon again?" asks Palu.
"No, this will be different. You will like this method more," says Buggy while grinning.
The Clowns have bad feelings about this, but they can't say anything. Buggy has told them that he has done this in the past while he was still an apprentice. So they can only believe in him to reach Sky Island.
"Don't get too worried like that. We will use the same method as what the Pirate King's crew used. Doesn't that make you excited?" asks Buggy.
The crew finally realized that they will follow the Pirate King's footsteps now. It makes them very excited and their spirit lifted.
"Sigh, they're so simple," says Mantis.
"That's how boys are," says Manba.
"You are a boy too," says Jude.
"I know, that's why I said that," says Manba.
The 2 girls sweatdrop but decide to let it be and just look at the simple boys. They might be simple, but they are still precious crewmates. Also, days will be too boring without these simple-minded boys.
The Clowns then dock their ship on Mock Town's port. This town is full of lawless, especially pirates, so the port is full of Pirate ships. They don't need to dock on empty coast like other normal islands.
Their presence alerts everyone in Mock Town because they are a big crew. A bounty of 50 million is high enough in this place, not to mention 500 million. Everyone here knows they can't mess with the Clowns and need to be careful. But they know it's also their chance to join the Clowns.
"You can do what you want, but still do your usual jobs. I'll give you time until sunset and then we will move to the other side of this island. Just like usual, those who don't return in time will be punished. You can leave now," says Buggy to his crew.
"AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!" replies everyone before they get out of the ship.
Everyone leaves the ship to do their tasks and enjoys their time. They all have jobs, even the fighters who are tasked to investigate the island while they explore it. But they still can enjoy their time doing what they want as long as they finish their jobs.
Buggy goes with Ruff and Jude to a restaurant and enjoys their time. Buggy just needs to wait for the report, Jude's job is on the ship, while Ruff always thinks about his research every time. So they can just rest for now because they've been busy every day.
"How's the progress of your research on our techs?" asks Buggy to Ruff.
"It progressing fast. Your ideas have helped me a lot. Our biggest problem is the energy source but you've helped me find the solution. I'm sure I can finish it in a month," says Ruff.
"Good, we will need these techs because the enemies are getting better in this aspect too, especially the Marine," says Buggy.
"It's because of that Vegapunk, huh? I really want to meet him," says Ruff.
"Maybe someday you'll meet him. How about you, Jude? Have you learned about New World's weather?" asks Buggy.
"I have. Just from the book, I can understand that it is a lot more dangerous than Paradise. But I won't know its real horror until I see it myself," says Jude.
"That's for sure, but at least you have prepared for-," says Buggy as a sword cuts his neck.
A man has attacked him and cut his neck. The man thinks he has succeeded and celebrated it because he will get 500 million. The other guests in the restaurant are also surprised because someone with a bounty of 500 million gets defeated very easily.
They all start to regret that they didn't attack Buggy before, he is easy money. But then they get confused when they see Buggy's crewmates, Jude & Ruff are calm and just continue to eat. They finally widen their eyes when they realize that Buggy's head is flying.
"Oi oi oi, I am talking to my crew here, so can you not disturb us?" says Buggy while reconnecting his neck.
"DE-DEVIL FRUIT USER!" shouts the man scaredly before he runs out of the restaurant.
But then, a lightning bolt strikes from the sky and hits him. He gets defeated instantly and lays flat on the ground with a charred body.
"Why are you letting him go?" asks Enel as he enters the restaurant.
"Because you will take care of him," says Buggy while smirking.
"Tch, giving me more jobs," says Enel as he sits beside Ruff.
"You won't have more jobs if you just let that guy leave," says Ruff as he munches his food.
"That will just ruin our crew's name because a no-name is safe after attacking our Captain. Well, forget about that, you won't care about it too. Anyway, Cricket asked me to tell you that he will go to the other side first. He said he wants to check the sea," says Enel as he takes Jude's drink.
"ENEL! THAT'S MY DRINK," says Jude 'angrily'.
"Heh, take it if you can, shorty," mocks Enel.
Jude gets pissed and suddenly uses her devil fruit and so is Enel. But then Buggy knocks their head and stops them because they disturb his meal. They stop using their devil fruit but still do a petty fight using forks. These 2 are like siblings now, logia siblings.
"Sigh, he wants to find if the city really sunk, huh? Let him do what he wants if it makes him satisfied. And I will be satisfied if you really stop," says Buggy while looking at the logia siblings intimidatingly.
The 2 shivers and finally stop their fight for real. They can finally have a normal meal now.
