Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 224: Raids Progress

Some days after they left Broc Coli Island, the Clowns finally reach their destination. It's another island conquered by Beasts Pirates. But this island doesn't have resources, they just collect taxes from here.

As usual, Deon goes first to gather information then he sends it to Buggy. They make the strategy based on the information that Deon gathered. Then they attack the island with an executive leading the raid unit.

Now, it's Mantis who led the unit because the leader of the Beasts Pirates unit on this island is quite strong. It's just like what they've predicted, after all. The Beasts Pirates have raised their guards on their territories.

But they don't raise it well enough and the Clowns still can handle it. Well, with Oden's group being a threat in Wano, their main force just can't leave the island. Kaido is stuck there and he can only send one of the All-Stars if it's really needed.

This situation is in The Clowns' favor because they won't have any impossible battles in their raids. But they still need to be careful and not become overconfident. They can dig their own graves if they are too arrogant, after all.

This raid is also a success even with more than 2000 enemies. All executives except Buggy, Cricket, and Palu fight in this raid. It's because the enemies are too strong for their normal members, so they need to join and they succeed.

After the raid, they also get support from the locals just like in Coke Island. They even get 6 new members from a resistance group on this island. These people have fought with Beasts Pirates since the island got conquered.

There are 4 men and 2 women who join the crew. Actually, there are 7 more people who want to join, but they don't have sufficient strength for the Clowns' plan. So they can't join because they will just die and become burdens.

Then the Clowns move to the next island but they get a call from Coke Island on their way. Beasts Pirates have come to Coke Island again so The Clowns change their direction to Coke Island. They can't let the Beasts Pirates take Coke Island again and get its resources.

From the information, the Beasts Pirates unit that got sent to Coke Island is strong. So the Clowns prepare to use all they have in this raid. They train hard on their way there to get stronger even if it's just a little.

They arrive in a few days and just like usual, Deon moves first. His infiltration skill has improved a lot after doing these raids. Using his chameleon's camouflaging ability, Deon can move undetected so far.

Now, Deon can even mimic other people, similar to Bonclay's Clone Clone Fruit ability. But he has a limitation on his mimic ability. He can only mimic people who have a similar build to him because he can't alter his body proportion.

Still, it's useful enough because he has normal body proportion. So, there are many people who have a similar build to him. He just needs to find someone like that and mimic that person to make his infiltration easier.

On Coke Island, the new Beasts Pirates unit is stronger than the one stationed here before. They also have a higher number than before. Now, there are 1500 Beasts Pirates members on Coke Island and they all are stronger than the ones stationed here before.

Palu leads the raid this time and the executives except for Buggy, Cricket, Mantis, & Enel join the raid. But as the raid goes on, the enemies are shown to be stronger than they thought. So Buggy sends Enel to help because he doesn't want any of his crewmates to die.

After fighting for 2 hours, the raid finally finishes with their success again. Many men get injured quite badly, but Manba can treat them. His medical skill is very good now and it has saved their men from death a few times.

If they don't have Manba, then Buggy is sure that some of their men would have died in these raids. With his current skill, Manba can be considered one of the best doctors in the world. Well, it's just what the Clowns think, but it shows that they are very proud of Manba.

Manba also has created supplements to hasten their training progress. The supplements are mixed in their food and they take those every day. It is just a small amount and only increases their progress slowly. But it's effective enough and doesn't give them any bad side effects so far.

With Manba's supplements, Mantis' nutritional food, and Enel's electric therapy, the Clowns' training progress has become faster. Of course, the normal members' progress isn't as fast as the executives because they only have normal talents, but they still grow faster than other normal pirates.

Their fast progress is also the result of their hard work. They always train to their limits and the executives always help them in their training. Buggy & co will also keep pushing them so they won't slack off.

But Buggy & co still let them slack off a few times so they can rest. Resting is also important for their progress, after all. Training too much will only break their physique and mental. Besides, they are pirates so they need to enjoy their lives.

For the next months, The Clowns keep doing their raids in random patterns. They skip the closest islands many times to confuse the Beasts Pirates. But as the raids keep succeeding, the territories that they can attack also reduce.

The Beasts Pirates just need to focus their forces on the remaining territories. They focus on stopping the Clowns because this is very shameful for them. A rookie pirate crew is messing with their territories but they can't handle it.

They plan to stop the Clowns first before recapturing the lost territories. It is a good plan but not good enough to stop the Clowns. After all, the Clowns will just leave the island and go to another island if the enemies are too strong.

Of course, the Beasts Pirates will chase them, but Black Pearl is too fast for them. Even without using its machines, Black Pearl is fast enough. So when its machines are used, none of the chasing ships can catch the Pearl.

In their raids on Beasts Pirates' territories, the Clowns get some new crew members and now they have 73 people in their crew. Other than new members, the crew also get more fame and is called Beasts Hunters. And because of their infamous 'Beasts Hunting', their bounties were also raised.

'Killer Clown' Buggy: 1 billion

'Red Fists' Montblanc Cricket: 540 million

'Black Hammer' Palu: 468 million

'God of Thunder' Enel: 376 million

'Demon Giant' Magnus: 289 million

Mantis 'The Dancer': 253 million 'Ash Girl' Ariella Jude: 123 million

'Fatman' Manba: 102 million

'Rainbow Hair' Bunglon Deon: 99 million

'Soul King' Brook: 87 million

'The Inventor' Ruff: 56 million

Buggy, Cricket, Enel & Brook have new monikers now. The Clown becomes Killer Clown because Buggy's crew has massacred many Beasts Pirates. Chestnut becomes Red Fists because Cricket's fists are always covered in enemies' blood.

The Thunder becomes God of Thunder because of Enel's strong lightning power. Then Brook finally gets his moniker from the series. Buggy always called him Soul King in front of people so it becomes his moniker now.

Also, Ruff now has a bounty because the Marine knows that he is the one who creates the Clowns' strong weapons. His bounty is quite small because his battle strength is not that high. But his inventions are dangerous, so he gets his current bounty.

Some lesser members also gained fame during these raids. But they didn't get any bounty yet because the executives are more dangerous in WG & Marine's eyes. It's not a problem for them though because bounty isn't their goal.

In these few months, the Clowns lost 7 lesser members. 4 of them died while the 3 lost 1 or 2 limbs and can't become pirates again. They aren't Shanks who still can be an emperor after losing an arm. But they all are ready for such results because it's the risk of being pirates.

Buggy has given the 3 who can't continue being pirates a lot of money to continue their lives. As for the deceased ones, he will give their shares to their families after this war is finished. What he did make everyone's loyalty raised because they know Buggy cares for them even if they died.

Now the ones who survived have become much stronger. They all are ready for the final war against Beasts Pirates' main crew after a few months of raids. So now, they set their destination to the main battlefield, Wano Country.
