Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 329: Another Uproar

The Clown Pirates' win over the war against Marine causes an uproar. As usual, 'Big News' Morgans sniffs the news of the war faster than anyone. Well, he doesn't really sniff it, he knew a war would happen between Clown Pirates and Marine, so he sent some spies to see it.

His spies followed Clown Pirates' movements since the news of their attempt to reach Lodestar Island spread. Morgans knew the Marine won't let them be and would try to stop them. He just didn't know when, so he sent his spies to follow Clown Pirates from afar.

Buggy also knew that some people followed his crew. But he ignored them because they didn't threaten his crew. Also, it will be better if the news spread as fast as possible so that the WG won't be able to hide it.

"That bird really knows how to make things more interesting," says Buggy while reading the headline news.

[The True Emperor: Downfall of Marine]

Below that title is a picture of Buggy who has some blood on his head standing among the defeated Marine officers who float on the ice blocks while stepping on Sakazuki's dead head. It's a badass picture, but it makes everyone wonders how the cameraman took it.

Just the picture alone has shaken the world because not only Buggy killed a Vice-Admiral who is expected to be an Admiral in a few years, there were also Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, Kuzan, & Borsalino there. But none of them could stop Buggy from killing Sakazuki.

It surely makes everyone speechless because Garp and Sengoku are the strongest pillars of Marine. They also have fought against Roger, Whitebeard, and other big names for years. But they couldn't even stop a young man from destroying their fleet alone.

The narration below the picture is also quite provocating, typical of Morgans. He really knows how to make things bigger. This is already big though, so he just made the news more provocative.

The news starts with the narration of what happened before and throughout the war before Sengoku appeared. Then it explains how Sengoku appeared and change the war. The change is not the one that the Marine expected though.

They thought that they will be able to suppress Clown Pirates easier with Sengoku there. But, what happened was the opposite. With more pressure, Buggy finally showed a shocking power that he had never shown before.

He cut Sengoku in half very easily before blocking Garp's attack. Garp also got defeated and got his right arm severed by Buggy's abilities. He defeated 2 of the strongest Marines in a short time, which also signaled Marine's defeat in that war.

Morgans then added a provocation, saying that Buggy might be the Strongest Man in the World right now, replacing Whitebeard. He wrote it because Buggy could defeat Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, 3 other Vice-Admirals, and their fleet by himself, something that Whitebeard hasn't done.

Well, it is just speculation because no one really knows Whitebeard's full power. He prefers avoiding fights against Marine and there aren't many people who can make him show his true power. The last time he used his full power was in his battle against Roger years ago.

But Morgan's words also have some truth in them because Whitebeard never defeated Sengoku & Garp alone at the same time. Although those with good brains know that Morgans just want to provoke Buggy & Whitebeard into a fight for the title of Strongest Man in the world.

Other than that provocation, he also critiques the WG for being powerless against a man. The Warlord system that they've just made seems to be useless too. They made that system to keep the balance, but they didn't even dare to send the new Warlords to stop Clown Pirates.

[Can the rising pirates who become Warlords of The Sea stop a force that can even make the Marine Hero powerless? Who are the true Lords of the Sea? The Emperors, Marine, or these rising stars?]

After that, Morgans also provokes Big Mom and other pirate crews, especially the veterans who get outshined by a young crew. The Clown Pirates aren't rookies anymore, but they are certainly a young crew full of youngsters. A stark contrast to many pirate crews in the New World that are made of middle-aged people with only some youngsters in their crews.

At the end of the news, Morgans also added one more thing. With the Marine's failure at stopping the Clown Pirates, then their road to Lodestar Island has become clearer. They are quite unstoppable now if they could even defeat the Marine with such formation.

[The way to the end of Log Pose has been cleared now. Who will be able to stop their march to the last island pointed out by Log Pose? Will the Clown Pirates find the way to Laugh Tale? Will Clown Lord Buggy claim the throne left by his ex-Captain and become the next Pirate King?]

Those last sentences cause a stir everywhere because the only one who kept being talked about as the strongest candidate to be the next Pirate King was Whitebeard. But now another candidate appears, and Buggy seems more determined to reach the goal than Whitebeard.

"Gurarara, the next Pirate King? That brat can take it if he wants, although that will never happen," says Whitebeard while reading the news.

"That's right, Buggyjiro is never interested in that title. He always said it is just an empty title that only gives problem," says Oden.

Whitebeard is currently on Wano with his crew, relaxing. They moved when other crews also moved after Clown Pirates' attempt to reach Lodestar was known. But Whitebeard Pirates didn't move to chase the Clown Pirates.

They just wanted to mess with WG & Marine as they went to Wano which has become an open Country now. This country is Clown Pirates' territory because they were the ones who took it over from Beasts Pirates.

But people also know that Whitebeard is protecting it because of his brotherly relationship with Oden. So in a sense, this country is protected by 2 Emperors. That's why it could open its border without any problem and WG didn't dare to try something funny.

Whitebeard and Oden are amused by the news, even though they are very surprised too when they know Buggy defeated Marine's super strong fleet singlehandedly. They know his power growth is monstrous, but it was not this ridiculous.

"What do you think of him, Whitey-chan?" asks Oden.

"Honestly, I don't know. I can't really judge his power through the news, I need to see it myself. But, I know for sure that if he wants to be the Pirate King, then no one can stop him," says Whitebeard seriously.

"AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE? DON'T JOKE WITH ME!" shouts Big Mom pissedly on her ship that sails on the sea.

Big Mom Pirates are on their way to Lodestar Island too. But they use a different route from Clown Pirates. Big Mom is surprised that Buggy could defeat Garp & Sengoku alone, but she is also confident she can do it too.

She won't be this mad if the news is just about the war. But Morgans just needs to belittle her by saying that Buggy & Clown Pirates have surpassed her & her crew. Big Mom is also an Emperor, she has her pride as one. So she can't take such mockery easily.

"Clown Pirates, I will surely stop them. No one will reach Laugh Tale before me," says Big Mom as she crumples the newspaper.

A piece of paper falls from the newspaper, it's a bounty poster. This poster is Buggy's new bounty poster because his bounty was raised after that war.

'Clown Lord' Buggy: 4.75 billion

His bounty raised from 3.5 billion to 4.75 billion. It's still lower than Whitebeard who has more than 5 billion because Whitebeard has operated longer and did more things. Also, there are only 2 pirates in history who have ever received bounties higher than 5 billion, Roger & Whitebeard. So giving 5 billion to a young Pirate will show that WG is scared of Buggy now.

"Your brother seems to be doing very well, Leader," says Benn Beckman on Red Hair Pirates' ship.

"Maybe it's time for us to enter New World again," says Yasopp.

"What's the rush? Buggy has his own plans and things to do, just like us. Besides, he doesn't need to babysit a child like us," says Shanks while looking at a little girl who has white & red hair.

The little girl suddenly runs around carelessly, then she falls and cries, making the men on the ship panic. There are no women on this ship and no one can babysit, so it becomes very chaotic immediately. The future Emperor crew looks very hopeless now.
