Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 205: New Weapons

Chapter 205: New Weapons

After dinner, Ruff reveals the object that gets covered by a white cloth in his hands. But it's not just an object, there are 3 objects there with one of them being longer than the other 2. These objects are the things that were researched by Ruff after Buggy asked him and Gil the weaponsmith made the final result.

The objects are a pistol, a rifle, and a sniper rifle. These weapons have modern earth designs because that's what Buggy asked. But because he doesn't know how the guns work, he asked Ruff to research & build them.

These 3 guns have different designs from the guns in this world. So they are very eyecatching and make the Clowns who see them get very curious. Even more so when they see the bullets that aren't shaped like balls, but long & pointy.

Buggy then calls their best gunners, the twins who joined on Water 7. The twins are a man & a woman at the age of 21. The man's name is Dani, a short & medium-range gunner. While the woman is Dini, a sniper.

Buggy gives the rifle to Dani and the sniper rifle to Dini. As for the pistol, he gives it to Ruff because this guy is also good with guns. If Ruff is more focused on using guns, he might be even better than Dani & Dini.

The 3 of them then try the new guns using different targets. Ruff shoots a target wood on the railing from the middle of the deck. Dani shoots a thicker wood at the same distance. Then Dini shoots a seagull that flies 400 meters from their ship.

The pistol shows a good result by breaking the small wood plank. The rifle is more surprising because it breaks a thick wood block with 1 shot. As for the sniper rifle, it can hit the seagull perfectly, but the bird is destroyed because the firepower is too big.

"Oi oi oi, they are more destructive than I thought. Just how did you make them?" asks Buggy to Ruff with a shocked expression.

Everyone else is also shocked, including the twins who used the guns.

"How? I just used everything I know and this is the result. Besides, this is your idea, Captain," says Ruff nonchalantly.

"I know that I was the one who asked you to make them. But this is not what I expected," says Buggy.

"Is it a problem, then?" asks Ruff.

Buggy gets silent for a moment before saying, "No, it's good. Too good instead, that we need to be careful so that this technology won't get stolen by others. But just because we are wary, doesn't mean that we shouldn't use them."

"Tell Gil to mass-produce the pistols for everyone in the crew. It will be a good secondary weapon or even a main weapon as long as we don't run out of bullets. Produce the rifle for the gunners and the sniper rifle for the snipers."

"They will need to adapt with the new weapon, so the sooner they try it, the better it will be. But tell everyone that they need to be careful so they won't lose their weapons and give enemies our technology. I will punish anyone who causes it to happen and it won't be a light punishment."

"Then lastly, do more research on the bullets and try to make some more variations with different effects. I'm sure you already have some ideas and want to make them, so don't hold yourself. I give you full freedom to do anything you want in this project, just like usual."

Ruff grins excitedly hearing that and says, "Leave it to me, Captain. I will make weapons that make our enemies tremble in fear when they hear our name."

Everyone in the crew is also happy to hear that all of them will get the new pistol. Although most of them aren't gunners, having a pistol with big firepower is a good thing. It can be a lifesaver when they face enemies that they can't defeat with their main weapons.

"Ah, I want to make guns that work underwater. It will be a good weapon for the Fishmen. Is that allowed?"

"Do I ever restrict you?" asks Buggy back.

Ruff smiles happily and says, "No."

"Then just do what you want," says Buggy.

The Fishmen are surprised to hear that Ruff wants to make a special weapon for them and Buggy allows it easily. They never thought that they will be treated this good in this crew that is full of humans before. It makes them touched and their loyalty raised.

The Fishmen suddenly bow to Buggy at the same time and yells, "RUFF-SAN, THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT US. CAPTAIN, WE WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER!"

Everyone else is surprised and Buggy confusedly asks, "W-What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

Ruff also says, "Y-Yeah, you've scared me."

Siman the Orca Fishman smiles and says, "Don't worry, Captain, Ruff-san. We are just starting to like this crew even more."

The Fishmen looks at them as if they are looking at their idol. Ruff gets embarrassed and Buggy just sighs at them. Buggy then tells them to not mind it and dismisses them.

"Dani, Dini, I want you to teach the others who can't use guns yet. They don't need to be experts, just enough to shoot at a short distance using their pistols," says Buggy after the others dismissed.

"Ca-Can we use our training method?" asks Dini shily while hiding behind her twin brother, she is quite a shy girl when she doesn't use her gun.

"You can use any method that you want, as long as it doesn't kill them," says Buggy.

Dini nods shily and Dani says firmly, "Leave it to us, Captain."

Buggy nods and then tell the team leaders to supervise this new program. This will surely raise their crew's strength a lot before they face the Beasts Pirates. So they all need to be serious with this if they want to win and reduce casualties.

After that, Buggy meets Enel and they have a discussion. They have planned something for a long time and now they are ready to execute it. So before the sleep time, Buggy gathers everyone on the main deck.

He uses his strong Observation Haki to assess their power and splits them into 3 groups. Buggy has the best Observation Haki in the crew, so his judgment is the most accurate. Enel's Mantra (Observation Haki) is also strong, but not at Buggy's level although he has a wider range.

After Buggy splits the normal members into 3 groups, Enel starts their plan. He uses his lightning power to electrocute them, with very small power, of course. But surely it makes everyone surprised so Buggy needs to calm them.

"Calm down, this is just therapy, and this is good for you. No one will be harmed by this," says Buggy.

"T-Therapy? But they all look to be in... pain?" asks someone before he tilts his head when he sees the ones who get electrocuted.

The ones who get electrocute have pained expressions before. But now they seem to feel pleasure and relax. It's because they feel the electricity that runs through their bodies makes their fatigues gone.

Seeing everyone's confused face, Buggy asks Manba to explain it. So Manba tells everyone in the crew about the function & benefits of this electric therapy. He is a doctor and Buggy has talked with him about this.

Manba has researched this and found its benefits. It reduces their fatigues, energizes their cells, and other benefits for their bodies. But then he also found that this electric therapy can stimulate their cells to grow stronger and break their limits.

"So basically it will hasten your progress and you can grow faster in a shorter time. It depends on your bodies' capabilities, but it can hasten your growth up to 10 times. It will be very effective when you push yourself so hard before receiving this therapy. But we can't do it too often or it will reduce the effect, so it will just be once per week," says Manba.

Everyone gets excited when they hear that and now they want to try it. Enel is also excited because he can feel his control over his devil fruit ability increase. Using it for a delicate job like this will make his control grow faster, it's a win-win situation.

Buggy also grins seeing this and says, "We just have a few months left, but everything looks good. If everything goes well, then Beasts Pirates won't be a problem. Just you wait, Kaido."
