Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 315: Giving Birth

The Clown Pirates stay low for a few months since the confrontation against Big Mom Pirates. They focus on managing their territories and their organizations. Also, they have a big project right now, they are building a new base.

Big Mom Pirates' attack has shown them that their current base is not good. It's not that the island itself is bad, but it's not a proper base yet. They don't have a strong defense system which made their casualties quite high in the war.

So now, they focus on improving their base and making it into a great stronghold. It will be a proper base for an Emperor crew. Besides, this is also The Caribbean's base, so it needs a strong security system or they'll lose their goods. Many will try to steal their weapons, after all.

Strengthening their base will also make them can explore the world again. They don't want to be called so suddenly because their base gets attacked like before. So they need a strong base and men that can defend against their enemies.

That's why they are also recruiting more men, but they still use their strict requirements. Buggy doesn't want to have subordinates who will go against his principles. The requirements are also to prevent people with ulterior motives to enter.

Just within a week since The Clown Pirates start the recruitment, they've found 13 spies trying to enter and steal their weapons or technologies. Most of the spies are from World Government and Nations. They all want the technologies that are used to create The Clown Pirates' advanced weapons.

Other than those things, Buggy also established businesses with Big Mom & Whitebeard. He has called Whitebeard and they have made the same deal as the deal with Big Mom. The Clown Pirates are allowed to explore Whitebeard's territories and they'll sell weapons to Whitebeard.

With this, Whitebeard & Big Mom will also protect The Clown Pirates' base even if Buggy doesn't ask them. If his base gets destroyed, they won't get any weapons from him. They won't attack the base too because they will be wary of each other attacking them from behind, so the base will be safe.

The Clown Pirates focus on their base & manpower for a few months. They are a new Emperor crew, after all, so they have many things to do to stabilize their position. Their rivals aren't rookies anymore, after all, it's Whitebeard and Big Mom.

Clown Pirates' base improves a lot after a few months. All their tests have shown great results that satisfy them. They tested their weapons by using them on the enemies that try to invade their base. Even if The Clowns have shown their great power, there will always be idiots who overestimate themselves and try to attack them, so they use those people as test subjects.

Then, The Clown Pirates finally leave their base after a few months. There is a special occasion that requires them to leave, after all. Bellemere is about to give birth because it's almost 9 months, so Buggy needs to go home, and the crew needs to follow their Captain.

Their trip to East Blue is still undetected by anyone as before. Even when Marine & other organizations keep an eye on them, they can just suddenly disappear without anyone's knowing. People only find out after the Clowns have gone very far.

The Clown Pirates arrive at Cocoyasi Village just in 3 days because they move fast. Before the ship even reaches the port, Buggy jumps to the port first. He is quite impatient and wants to see his family as soon as possible.

He runs very fast that the villagers only see a blurry figure running with dust scattered behind him. Buggy arrives at his family's house and sees Nojiko playing with Little Nami outside. Both of them see him and they smile immediately before running to hug him.

"Ooh, do you miss me, my little princesses?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, we miss you, dad," says Nojiko.

"We wiyu," says Nami, trying to imitate Nojiko, but she fails because she can't talk clearly yet.

"It's not wiyu, Nami, it's miss you," says Nojiko.

"Hahaha, she will be able to do it eventually. Where's your mom?" asks Buggy.

"We'll tell you for 100 Belly," says Nojiko with an innocent smile.

"Belly," says Nami very clearly.

Buggy's face darkened seeing his daughters charge him for an answer. Nami can even say the word 'Belly' very clearly even though she couldn't say 'miss you' properly. Her money-grubbing personality has started to show up already.

'What the hell did she teach these 2 while I was on New World?' thinks Buggy while sighing.

He tells the 2 that he will give them the money after they tell him where Bellemere is, but they won't budge. They know he tries to trick them and won't give them the money later. Buggy sighs and gives 100 Belly to them, which they take happily.

100 Belly is nothing to him, but it's a lot for children like them. They can buy some candies or cookies with it, after all. He could just give them more money, but he thinks that giving too much money to children will create bad effects.

Anyway, the 2 girls finally tell Buggy where Bellemere is before they run off, surely to use the money. Bellemere is in the backyard, so he goes there immediately. He finds her sitting on a rocky chair while knitting a sweater.

"Welcome back," says Bellemere without any hint of surprise. She has heard Buggy's conversation with their daughters and she heard his footsteps.

"I don't know you can knit," says Buggy.

"I have a lot of free time lately because I wasn't allowed to do many things. Doc told me that I shouldn't get tired, so I rest most of the time. But I'm bored, so I tried to do something new, and then aunty Sherry taught me this. It's almost winter, so Nami & Nojiko need warm clothes. The baby too," says Bellemere while rubbing her belly that has gotten much bigger than when Buggy left.

"What about me? I also need warm clothes, you know," says Buggy while placing his head on her bulging belly.

"Hmm, sure, I will make a scarf for you later," says Bellemere while patting his head.

"Great, I'm waiting for it," says Buggy.

Sometime later, Buggy's crewmates arrive, not all of them though, just the executives. Manba immediately checks Bellemere's condition and she is very healthy.

"Can you predict the birth date?" asks Buggy.

"Hmm, I estimate it to be around 7 to 9 days," says Manba.

Manba's estimation is a little off though because Bellemere gives birth in 10 days. Well, it doesn't matter though, it's not a problem at all. The important thing is the labor now. Bellemere's & the baby's safety depends on how they handle this, after all.

The ones who help Bellemere give birth are Manba & his team. Manba has helped Rouge when she gave birth to Ace, so this is not a problem for him. Furthermore, he has 7 nurses to help him.

Bellemere is giving birth using the normal method even though Manba offered a Caesarean section with Buggy's help. It won't be painful and they'll finish fast. Buggy could open her belly so Manba could take out the baby, then Buggy would restore her belly.

But she refused because she wants to feel being a real mother by giving birth normally. She knows it will be very painful, but for her, that pain is the proof of her effort for her child. That's why she gives birth using the normal method, and she regrets it.

"ARGH! DAMMIT, IT HURTS! F*CK YOU CLOWN BASTARD, YOU BETTER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING ME GO THROUGH THIS PAIN," yells Bellemere while clenching Buggy's hands that she holds as hard as she can.

'But it's you who want to use normal labor method,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy thinks that, but he just stands there silently as she clenches his hands as if she wants to crush his hands while cursing him. The labor must be very painful, after all, so the best he can do is accept her emotion. Then after 2 minutes that feel like forever, the baby finally comes out.

The baby cries as Manba cuts the umbilical cord. "Congratulation, Captain, Bellemere, it's a boy."
