Chapter 63: RBTC: Chapter 63
---
After deciding on the crew's name, they continued to rest on the island for a few days. Buggy and his crew prepared to set off. This time, they were going directly to the New World. There were also some other reasons. They had to settle a score in the New World and recruit some people.
Buggy's serious injuries were partly due to Doflamingo, the young master of the Donquixote Family, the Heavenly Demon.
If it weren't for his delay, Buggy might not have been found by Sakazuki. And it was likely that Doflamingo had intentionally revealed their information to Sakazuki.
If it weren't for Buggy's strength, which was still quite powerful, and Sakazuki's strength hadn't reached its peak, then perhaps because of this delay, Doflamingo would have killed them. This was almost a life-and-death grudge. If they didn't settle this score, it wouldn't make sense.
To settle this score, they would have to retaliate. And to retaliate, they had to make him suffer, to cripple him.
Eliminating Doflamingo's underworld forces in the North Blue would achieve this, but it wouldn't be worth it.
The underworld was inherently dark. To get information about him and find those sources, they would have to pay a huge price and spend a lot of time. They didn't have enough time for that, and they couldn't fight Doflamingo to the death. That wouldn't be worth it.
And the underworld was the underworld. Even if they wiped out the underworld forces currently controlled by Doflamingo, he could continue to develop his underworld forces elsewhere. This would only cripple him temporarily and wouldn't achieve the result Buggy and his crew wanted. It wouldn't be necessary.
Eliminating the members of the Donquixote Family would also achieve this, but with Doflamingo's cunning and his underworld forces, they might discover Buggy and his crew's movements before they could act.
As long as Doflamingo wanted to hide, Buggy and his crew might not find him at all. After all, they didn't have a powerful source of information.
If they wanted to find him, it would take a lot of time and money. Buggy and his crew didn't have that much time to waste on the Donquixote Family. They didn't have that much money to buy accurate information about the Donquixote Family.
Even if they bought it, the information they bought might be fake. It might be a trap set by Doflamingo based on this information. If he brought Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, even Buggy, with his increased strength, wouldn't be a match for the three of them. They might be wiped out. So, this was not feasible.
Considering these reasons and the unfavorable consequences, Buggy thought for a while and came up with a good place for revenge, one that would avoid those dangerous situations.
This place was far from the current Donquixote Family, and it involved a core member of the Donquixote Family. This person was not only related to the Donquixote Family but also to a Marine scandal.
Buggy and his crew could retaliate against Doflamingo and also damage the Marines' future strength and reputation. This was a win-win situation.
This place was Punk Hazard. The owner of this island was the famous scientist Caesar. He had a close relationship with Doflamingo. If they went after him, Doflamingo would definitely send people to deal with them.
If Caesar encountered trouble, Doflamingo wouldn't be able to come in person. The North Blue was too far from Punk Hazard. He might not be able to make it in time. Given Caesar's importance, he might use a core member of the Donquixote Family in the New World, Vergo.
Once Vergo came, they could not only get Caesar but also capture Vergo. Then, Buggy could execute him and tell the Marines that he was a Donquixote Family mole.
On the one hand, he would strike a blow to the Donquixote Family. On the other hand, he would slap the Marines in the face.
The Marines might even go after the Donquixote Family. This would truly make Doflamingo feel pain and destroy a crucial path for the Donquixote Family's future growth: Caesar's research on artificial Devil Fruits.
And he could get Caesar, an excellent scientist. As the second-greatest scientist in the world of One Piece, Buggy wanted such a talented person. And Caesar would be very useful to Buggy. So, this trip was definitely necessary.
After making his decision and setting his target, everyone packed their things, boarded the Glory, and set off for the New World.
First, they passed through Reverse Mountain, which was on the way to the New World. This time, they coincidentally encountered Laboon. When they were going down the mountain, Laboon was there, ramming Reverse Mountain.
Buggy didn't go up and challenge Laboon like Luffy. He didn't comfort it either. Instead, he used the simplest method: he directly used his Haki. In an instant, he used his force to intimidate Laboon, making it stop ramming Reverse Mountain and calm down. They passed through safely.
Seeing Laboon, Buggy knew that Crocus was definitely at the Twin Cape. Since they were here, he had to go see the old man.
When they arrived in front of the Twin Cape lighthouse, Buggy saw a man in a Hawaiian shirt lying on a deckchair, enjoying the sun.
After docking the Glory, Buggy led everyone towards him.
When they got close to him, he seemed to have noticed them.
Crocus took off his sunglasses and slowly sat up from the deckchair. He looked at Buggy and his crew.
Crocus saw the familiar figure and his face instantly showed surprise. Then, he began to smile.
He didn't expect Shanks to have passed by here not long ago. And now, Buggy had arrived here.
"Hahaha, little Buggy, what brings you here? I asked Shanks about you the last time. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Crocus, just call me Buggy. I'm all grown up now. I'm not a kid anymore."
Hearing the term "little Buggy," even Buggy's thick skin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, he was now the captain of a ship. Being called this in front of his crew made Buggy feel awkward.
Crocus looked at the people beside Buggy. He couldn't hold back his smile. He realized that Buggy had indeed grown up. He said again, "Hahaha, alright, alright. Buggy's grown up. Shanks has grown up too. Good, good."
Seeing the happy and relieved smile on Crocus' face, Buggy's embarrassed expression recovered.
These former members of the Roger Pirates were Buggy's family. Buggy was very happy to see them. His embarrassment quickly turned into happiness.
"Buggy, I just saw the newspaper about you. I was really surprised. I didn't expect you to grow up so fast. You really make us old guys look up to you."
"Oh, no, no. Crocus, I'm still far behind the captain. When the captain was my age, he had already made a name for himself. I've just started sailing."
Buggy was a little embarrassed by Crocus' words. It was like an elder praising a junior. He felt embarrassed but also excited. He knew that his training and efforts over time hadn't been in vain. He had also received his family's approval.
