章節 118: Chapter 119 : Baby 5!!
"Cough, cough… cough, cough!"
As Buggy's temper cooled, Domino coughed violently a few times, quickly raising her hand to cover her mouth to avoid dirtying her clothes.
Buggy, satisfied, pinched her soft cheek and praised, "Not bad, you're getting better at this!"
Domino rolled her eyes at him, stood up, and headed into the cabin. She needed to rinse her mouth.
Buggy didn't stop her, instead standing up and stretching lazily.
If he calculated right, Doflamingo's people should be arriving any moment now!
By the time Domino finished freshening up and came back out on deck, a small black dot appeared in the sky directly ahead of the Thousand Sunny. The distinct sound of propellers rotating echoed through the air.
Buggy squinted into the distance, and soon he spotted two figures—one, a man in strange orange clothes, and the other, a young woman in a dark maid outfit, carrying an assortment of weapons on her back, her features delicate and refined.
So it's Donquixote family's Baby 5 and Buffalo, huh…
Buggy immediately recognized the two of them—individuals who had left a strong impression on him before.
Buffalo was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the powers of the Spin-Spin Fruit. He could turn any part of his body into a propeller, allowing him to create hurricanes or take flight. But what stood out most to Buggy wasn't just Buffalo's powers—it was Buffalo's eccentric partner, Baby 5!
Baby 5, in a way, was as much of an oddball as Boa Hancock. She craved being needed by others. As long as someone needed her, she couldn't refuse any request—whether it was lending money, accepting marriage proposals, or being pressured into buying things. She would convince herself that she was fulfilling a need.
Because of this peculiar personality, Baby 5 was often tricked and deceived. She racked up a debt of 98 million Berries. Many shady men proposed to her, leading Doflamingo to eliminate countless "fiancés" as part of his clean-up efforts.
Buggy had been both amazed and amused by her strange personality when he first learned about it. It sparked a lot of… indescribable thoughts in his mind.
Just how far would Baby 5 go to meet someone's needs?
But it wasn't just her personality that impressed Buggy—it was also her Devil Fruit powers.
Baby 5 possessed the Paramecia-type Arms-Arms Fruit, which allowed her to transform parts of her body into any weapon she desired.
It wasn't limited to simple melee weapons—she could even turn herself into a missile, as seen in the original storyline!
Buggy's imagination ran wild at the thought.
Laser cannons, railguns, nuclear missiles, the Rods of God…
If only I had that kind of power… I could destroy the entire world!
As Buggy's thoughts drifted further and further into fantasy, Baby 5 and Buffalo finally landed on the deck of the Thousand Sunny.
Baby 5 leaped off Buffalo's back, a slim cigarette dangling from her lips. She gave Buggy an annoyed look and said, "So you're that Buggy guy, huh? Doflamingo made me ride the wind all day just to get here because of you!"
"Wait, Baby 5! You need to address him as Lord Buggy! This is someone even our Young Master treats with utmost respect!" Buffalo jumped in, startled by Baby 5's casual attitude.
He quickly apologized on her behalf, bowing slightly toward Buggy. "My deepest apologies, Lord Buggy! Baby 5 didn't mean any offense. Please, I beg you—don't take it to heart!"
Who was Buggy, after all? He wasn't just anyone—he was the newest Yonko! A man who had personally killed both Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
Even Doflamingo himself had to tread carefully around Buggy, so what chance did two low-level henchmen like Buffalo and Baby 5 stand?
Buffalo couldn't quite wrap his head around why Doflamingo would send someone as unpredictable as Baby 5 along for this mission, fully knowing her personality.
Wasn't this like throwing him into the lion's den?
What Buffalo didn't know, however, was that even Doflamingo himself had no choice. Buggy had specifically requested Baby 5 for this mission!
Buggy, meanwhile, seemed unfazed by Buffalo's panic. He casually stepped forward, plucked the cigarette from Baby 5's lips, and smiled. "If it's for me... would you quit smoking?"
Baby 5 was initially furious at Buggy's audacity, her anger simmering beneath the surface. But when his words sank in, her expression softened. The anger disappeared, replaced by a bashful smile. "You... you want me to quit?"
Buggy gave a firm nod. "Yes! I need you to quit. Smoking isn't good for your health... and besides, it ruins the taste of a kiss."
"A kiss... for my health?"
In that moment, Baby 5's tough, no-nonsense demeanor melted away. The fierce assassin transformed into a love-struck maiden, her eyes shimmering as if on the verge of tears.
Meanwhile, Domino and Boa Hancock, standing behind Buggy, were completely dumbfounded, their minds spinning in disbelief. The legendary clown was behaving like... what on earth were they witnessing?
Even Buffalo, who knew a thing or two about Baby 5's quirks, stood in stunned silence. How in the world did Buggy figure out her greatest weakness?
Buggy, seemingly oblivious to everyone else's reactions, gazed deeply into Baby 5's eyes and asked, "So, my dear Baby 5... would you marry me and become my wife?"
Domino: "???"
Boa Hancock: "???"
Buffalo: "!!!"
Blushing furiously, Baby 5 gave a shy nod. "Yes... I will."
Buggy grinned with satisfaction and said, "Excellent! From now on, you're one of mine! I'll inform Doflamingo about this!"
Domino: "!!!"
Boa Hancock: "!!!"
Buffalo: "???"
Though Baby 5's personality has some flaws, well... that can be trained slowly! Buggy didn't care much about the details—what mattered was securing Baby 5, this deadly weapon, for himself first!
As for Doflamingo's opinion? Does it even matter?
Hearing Buggy mention Doflamingo, Baby 5's expression shifted from anger to worry. She spoke cautiously, "That guy Doflamingo is really dangerous. He's already killed many of my fiancés... You have to be careful!"
Buggy chuckled. "Don't worry. Doflamingo's no match for me! From now on, just stay by my side and relax!"
After a moment's pause, Buggy asked, "By the way, you're the Arms-Arms Fruit user, right? Can you turn into a... Mushroom Bomb?"
"Mushroom Bomb? What's that?" Baby 5 blinked, confused, and shook her head. "I can only transform into things I've seen or know about! I've never heard of a Mushroom Bomb before."
The ability of the Arms-Arms Fruit allows its user to transform into any weapon—but only if the user has a concept of that weapon in mind.
If there's no idea or understanding of the weapon, the fruit can't conjure it from nothing.
Buggy nodded thoughtfully. He now had a clearer idea of how her powers worked. "That's fine. From now on, come to me every night before you sleep. I'll make you stronger!"
Buggy planned to teach Baby 5—to impart knowledge from other worlds.
Yes, really, just lessons. Nothing more!
Baby 5, of course, didn't refuse—she never refused anyone.
Buggy then turned his gaze toward the dazed Buffalo. "Where's the thing I asked for?"
Buffalo snapped out of his stupor, pulled out a delicate card from his coat, and handed it to Buggy with great respect. "Here it is—an invitation to Gran Tesoro!"
