One Piece: Reincarnated as Buggy the Clown

---

After hearing Reno's story, Buggy keenly noticed a few key points.

First, the villagers' lives weren't earned through their own hard work. They suddenly became very wealthy for no reason. And they could live carefree lives without working. This was definitely suspicious.

And the strange stone the mayor brought back was likely related to the whole thing. The mayor might also be the origin of this matter.

And the children who disappeared for no reason might have disappeared because of this wealthy life.

And the mysterious cave, the cave that could bring wealth to everyone, definitely held a big secret.

Based on these points and his own observations, Buggy had an idea. These phenomena were very similar to a Devil Fruit he had seen in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. But he wasn't sure. He had to check it out to confirm whether it was caused by this Devil Fruit.

After comforting Reno, Buggy and his crew returned to the hall.

"Captain, this place is too strange. Let's leave!"

Hogback, after hearing the whole story, thought that there was definitely a big problem on this island. It might cost them all their lives. So, he thought it would be better to leave the island.

"Leave? What are you talking about? We promised Reno that we would help him solve the problem on this island. And we were also hurt by them. Can we just let it go?"

The speaker was Kuro. Because his physique was weak, he was more seriously injured. His body hadn't recovered yet.

Since he knew that it was because of this island that he was in his current condition, how could he swallow this bitter pill? And he also wanted to help Reno, to help him solve the problem on this island. He also felt that they were fully capable of solving the problem on this island.

"Kuro's right. We promised Reno. We can't go back on our word. I also believe that the captain can solve this."

Jessica felt that once you promised someone something, you had to do it. You couldn't go back on your word. She also felt very sorry for Reno and wanted to help him solve the problem on this island. She also believed that Buggy could lead them to solve the problem here.

"Yes, we can't leave. They dared to attack us. They must pay the price."

The speaker was Lafitte. He agreed with what Kuro said. He also felt that once you promised someone something, you had to fulfill it. They couldn't let the people who had attacked them go unpunished.

"Yes, we can't leave."

"Yes, we can't leave."

Shiryu and Daddy also expressed their stance. Of course, Weevil was the exception. He didn't seem to understand. He stood there blankly, listening to everyone discussing this matter.

Hearing everyone's statements, Buggy made his decision. "We can't leave. They've already attacked us. And we've been wronged. We can't just swallow this bitter pill.

But we have to be careful. The situation here is very strange. Let's first investigate the situation here before making any further plans. We have to prevent ourselves from being attacked by them again."

This matter was related to them as soon as they landed on the island. If they wanted to leave now, the other party might not let them.

And they had targeted them. Even if the other party let Buggy and his crew leave, Buggy wouldn't leave. Whoever hurt his companions had to pay the price.

But this matter had to be handled with extreme caution. If it was really the Devil Fruit ability, as he guessed, then this enemy would be very difficult to deal with. The strange nature of that fruit was very troublesome.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Everyone looked at Buggy, waiting for his next plan.

"Stay here for now. Don't let them suspect anything. I'll go to that mysterious cave in the back of the mountain tonight and investigate. Then, I'll make a plan."

The mysterious cave definitely had to be investigated. This was to confirm his thoughts. If it was really as he guessed, he could better formulate his next plan.

Night soon fell. Dinner was the same as lunch. They ate dry rations and poured out some of the food the villagers brought.

Buggy took advantage of the darkness and went to the mysterious cave in the back of the mountain that Reno mentioned.

With Buggy's speed, he left the house without anyone noticing. No one discovered him along the way. He safely reached the vicinity of the mysterious cave.

When he arrived, he didn't investigate immediately. Instead, he found a place to hide.

This was because he discovered that many villagers were coming to the cave under the cover of darkness. Some of these villagers had smiles on their faces, some had worried expressions, and some were carrying their pets. They came here.

After waiting for a while, finding that no one else was coming, Buggy took advantage of the darkness and reached the entrance of the cave. He saw the situation inside.

The cave was almost full of people. Buggy estimated that all the villagers had come here. And he also saw the strange rock that Reno mentioned.

Although the rock looked strange, Buggy didn't feel anything unusual. It was the villagers and the mayor who were very unusual. The villagers didn't have the same kindness as they did during the day. Their faces were full of greed. The mayor's eyes didn't have the same kindness. They were only filled with indifference.

Buggy also heard the villagers talking. The general content was related to them. They were discussing whose food had been eaten and how much they would get.

These conversations confirmed to Buggy that the villagers' delivery of food was indeed malicious. And they were likely using the food delivery to obtain something.

Under Buggy's watch, the villagers began to line up in an orderly fashion inside the cave. But this time, it was different from last time. Many of them were carrying their pets.

At the mayor's signal, a villager immediately began talking to the rock, just like yesterday. Buggy heard clearly. He was making a wish to the rock, hoping to get what he wanted. And he was offering his sacrifice: Buggy and his crew.

At that moment, Buggy felt a strange energy penetrating his body. But after a while, this strange energy was repelled by the Haki hidden in his body.

At the same time, in the house where they were staying, the same change occurred in all the crew members' bodies. Whether they were asleep or awake, their bodies released a special energy as this energy entered them.

Those who were asleep didn't react. Those who were awake suddenly felt very tired, as if they couldn't support themselves.

Sensing the invasion of this energy, Buggy realized that this energy was what caused their condition. And the source of it all was in this cave. Buggy continued to look into the cave.
