Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 484: Compensation

Chapter 484: Compensation

The discussion about the Revolutionary Army taking over the role of the World Government is very intense. All Revolutionary Army commanders and high-ranking officials have joined the discussion. More high-ranking marine officials also join in now.

Anyway, while the Revolutionary Army might be the best candidate for the new World Government, the Marines can't just agree to it because for years, the Revolutionary Army has been branded as a criminal organization, and many civilians are thinking of them like that.

They have caused many rebellions too, so the Marines still can't see them in a good way. The Marines just can't accept a criminal organization ruling the world. Especially when they don't know if the Revolutionary Army truly wants the world to be better or if they have hidden agendas.

Both sides get into heated-up arguments that sound very uninteresting for Buggy. Though he likes the verbal fights despite the boring talk. He only watches them arguing over things as if he is watching a theater.

But then he becomes very impatient as this talk doesn't make any progress at all after quite a long time. He doesn't come here just to hear them talk for hours without any result. It's been hours too since he started the war, so he is tired, and the night is coming too.

*SLAM*

Buggy hits the table really hard and breaks it into pieces. Everyone is startled, so they look at him who seems very displeased.

"How long will you keep talking in circles? Can't you just make this quick?"

"Quick? This is a very important discussion that will decide the world's future. We can't rush it or this world will fall into chaos."

"Do you think I'm that stupid, Sengoku? Of course, I know that very well. But you guys kept talking about unnecessary things and neglected the important ones. Should I remind you which side is the winner of this war? It's us, and these rebels are on our side in this war. You need to know that as the victor, we should be free to decide all of this. But we don't do that because we know we need Marines."

"Are you trying to force your decision again?"

"Well, of course, if it can make this end quickly. Marines, you keep saying they are criminals and whatnot. But they were criminals by the previous World Government's law. Their law was made to benefit themselves because whatever atrocities they did never made the Celestial Dragons or their people criminals. By my standards, even the Marines should be branded as a criminal organization after doing a lot of atrocities. Ohara is the easiest example, isn't that right, Fleet Admiral Kuzan?"

The Marines get silenced by what Buggy says because they themselves know they have done many evil things that were the opposite of their justice. But they still did those things because of orders. That means for them, their justice was lower than orders from the World Government.

"These guys were fighting against slavery that was illegal by law but being ignored when the Celestial Dragons were the ones who did it. Is that not a good enough example?"

The room is still silent.

"Well, enough of that. My point is both of your organizations aren't the perfect images of good world protectors. Can't you just accept each other and work together? I'm sure you Marines know there is no organization more suitable to take over the World Government other than the Revolutionary Army right now. Just let them do the governmental job while you do your job. Just make it so that the new World Government won't have control over Marines. Both Marines and the World Government should be partners that stand on equal ground to protect this world. You should keep each other in check and make sure they work properly. 2 souls in 1 body, just like that."

Buggy stands up and walks to the door. His crewmates who came here with him are following him.

"Anyway, just accept each other so you can start working right away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to keep everything caused by this war under control. That's your top priority. Other things can be discussed later."

Buggy waves his left hand while walking out of the room with his crewmates. He leaves everyone speechless because they never thought they would hear those things from a pirate. Especially one that looked like a Clown.

"How's my performance?"

After leaving the meeting room, Buggy asks his crewmates such a question while grinning.

"Hmm, it gave me goosebumps. You were very cheesy just now."

"I agree. You sounded like a kid with a syndrome that makes you want to look cool every time. But I must say that those words were very convincing."

"Yeah, those guys will be convinced even though a pirate was the one who said it. Well, it's not like they have any other choice. It's either they let the Revolutionary Army take over the World Government role as soon as possible or they let the world fall into chaos without a proper government."

"The problem is the reactions of the Nations all over the world. Especially those that received a lot of benefits from the previous World Government."

"No need to worry about that. Dragon & I have made alliances with a lot of Nations in various ways. We used all of our connections and it should be enough. Many Nations that weren't part of World Government have agreed to join the new World Government after long discussions with Dragon. Their number and strength should be stronger than those who were on the old World Government's side, so there shouldn't be any problem. The Levely next year will be very interesting."

"Next year? I thought it would be held immediately."

"No way. They need to stabilize the situation first before talking with those annoying royalties. If they hold the Levely now, then there will be a high chance that the next World Government will be formed by those Kingdoms again. They have seen how great the life of Celestial Dragons were. So they will try to be the next Celestial Dragons even though they know the previous ones have been massacred."

"Not everyone is dead. Imu is still alive and we didn't kill one particular family because of a request from Queen Otohime."

"Oh, right, Mjosgard's family. I thought it was just him who was opposing his fellow Celestial Dragons' behavior. But his wife actually supports him. The problem is his kids. It's fine if they follow their parents, but if not, they'll become the next Doflamingo. They even originate from the same clan as that flamingo."

"As long as they don't get treated like Doflamingo's family in the past, then they should be fine."

"Where will they live now, Captain?"

"Otohime asked them to live in Fishman Island, but I opposed that idea. Even though they don't hate Fishmen and even helped many Fishman slaves, many Fishmen will still hate them because they were Celestial Dragons. So I suggested them to live in Wano where not many people know about Celestial Dragons. They won't be discriminated there."

"That's a good idea."

Buggy's group returns to their ship and finds that the other ships' Captains have gathered. They wanted to know how the war on Marie Geoise went and Buggy's crew has explained it. To say they were shocked is an understatement, they were speechless when they heard how Buggy cut the Red Line.

Even Whitebeard was impressed and now he wants to see if it's real. Everyone else also wants to go to the Red Line immediately to see the new shape of the Red Line. But they hold back because they know this whole war hasn't truly over yet.

"Are you here to collect your payment? Didn't I tell you we will handle that a week after the war?"

Buggy asks them jokingly right when he steps on his ship's deck.

"We know, and you better pay us well, you Red Nose brat."

Buggy just grins before he sits next to Whitebeard's big old ass. These pirates didn't help his crew in this war for free. They are pirates, after all. They won't risk their lives if there's no benefit for them, so Buggy offered them some compensation.

He will never give them money though. What he promised them were personalized weapons for their crews. Buggy's organization is the biggest weapon manufacturer and broker. Every pirate crew in this world would want their weapons, but their supplies are limited and their prices are high, so not everyone can buy their weapons.

Also, the weapons that The Caribbean, Buggy's underground organization sells are not the best they can make even though they are much better than other commercial weapons. The best weapons are exclusively used by Clown Pirates and their subordinate crews.

So when Buggy offered them those great weapons and they could even make the weapons based on request, these guys immediately agreed to help in this war. If Buggy simply offered them money, then they would refuse because these crews are rich enough. But special weapons from the Caribbean are too tempting for them.

Buggy isn't worried about giving them those powerful weapons. After all, those aren't his group's greatest weapons. Furthermore, their scientists always improve their weapons and now they have recruited the best scientists in the world into their group too.

They have recruited Vegapunk before this war, without the World Government's knowledge, of course. Vegapunk agreed to join them because they promised to support all his research. Ruff played a big role in the recruitment because all his team's research really picked Vegapunk's interest.

Vegapunk has some insiders in the World Government like Stussy. It was also one of the reasons why their attack was relatively smooth. After all, they got more information as Stussy was a member of CP0 who knows a lot of things.

She even helped them sabotage many things behind the scenes. That includes sabotaging the World Government's weapons so that they couldn't be used. It was relatively easy for them because Vegapunk was the one who made or improved those weapons, so he knew them well.

The only weapon they couldn't sabotage was that massive flying weapon, the Mother Flame. But because they already knew its existence, Buggy could destroy it before it attacked them. So Vegapunk's group contribution is very big in this war.

Back on the ship, Buggy talks with the Captains about the future. This war will surely change a lot of things and everything will be affected. Things will be unstable for quite some time, so they need to be ready for everything.
