RBTC: Chapter 81

---

Looking around at everyone, Buggy made a decision. He explained his considerations to everyone. After listening, everyone agreed.

Buggy handed the Devil Fruit in his hand to Jessica, who was still standing there in a daze. Looking at Jessica, Buggy said, "Jessica, this Sacrifice Fruit is very powerful. You must use it well and strive to become a great expert on our ship."

"Captain, this, this can't be. This fruit should go to someone else. I, I can't."

After recovering, Jessica looked at the Devil Fruit in Buggy's hand. Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with gratitude, but she also refused the fruit that Buggy handed her. She felt that she might not be able to develop this Devil Fruit well. This powerful Devil Fruit would definitely create a strong person. Giving it to her would be a waste of this Devil Fruit.

Seeing Jessica's expression and her self-doubt, Buggy stretched out his other hand and placed it on Jessica's head. "Believe in yourself. We believe in you."

Everyone heard Buggy say this and looked at Jessica with approving eyes. Jessica heard Buggy say this and saw everyone's gaze. A fire seemed to ignite in her eyes. Under everyone's gaze, she tremblingly reached out with her small hands and took the Devil Fruit that Buggy handed her.

The ownership of the Devil Fruit was settled. Everyone also told Buggy what they had done outside and the conditions they had promised.

Hearing that it was Kuro who had come up with the idea of interfering with the mayor through sacrifice, Buggy looked at Kuro with appreciation in his eyes and said a few words of thanks and praise.

His victory this time was largely due to Kuro's idea. If it weren't for the interference of the sacrifice, his outcome might not have been good. He would have either died or had to find a way to escape. Kuro's performance this time was very good. He was truly the resourceful Kuro of the future.

As for the villagers, Buggy didn't think for too long before making a decision. Since his crew had made a promise, he couldn't break it. Sailors on the high seas always kept their word.

At the same time, Buggy was also considering how to deal with them. They could be spared from death, but they couldn't escape punishment. Although Buggy had promised to spare their lives, they had to pay the price for their crimes.

But this was difficult for Buggy. He couldn't think of a solution for a while. After all, he couldn't take these people away and hand them over to the Marines to be imprisoned in Impel Down. And he didn't have any ideas for leaving them on this island and how to make them atone for their crimes.

Since he couldn't think of anything for the time being, Buggy didn't think about it anymore. After all, he was injured and needed to rest. He didn't stay in the cave. He arranged for the two-thirds of the villagers to stay in the cave temporarily. The remaining one-third of the villagers returned to their homes. Buggy led everyone back to their previous residence.

As they reached the entrance of the house, they saw a boy standing there, wearing clothes that were too big for him. He was looking this way with a nervous expression.

This boy was Reno. The clothes that were too big for him were the ones Buggy had given him. His clothes were soaking wet and torn. After he woke up, he had changed into Buggy's clothes.

Reno was standing here waiting for them. He was waiting for news about Buggy and his crew. He had been awakened from his sleep during the previous fight. But because he was weak, he hadn't come out to see what was going on. When his body recovered a little, he came out and saw the aftermath of the battle. Buggy and his crew had disappeared. He could only wait anxiously at the door.

Seeing Buggy and his crew return, a big smile appeared on Reno's face. He ran towards Buggy and his crew, shouting as he ran, "Benefactor, you're finally back."

When he reached Buggy, Reno gasped for breath and said, "Benefactor, where did you go? Did you encounter any danger? What was that fighting sound just now?"

Looking at Reno, who was clearly anxious, Buggy told him the whole story, from beginning to end. He also told him about the mayor's fate, the reason why those children disappeared, and how he dealt with those people.

Reno listened, his expression sometimes very sad and sometimes very angry. He felt sorry and reluctant for his friends. His tears flowed freely.

After hearing the whole story, Reno looked at Buggy with gratitude and admiration. He bowed deeply to Buggy and everyone else, expressing his gratitude.

The group returned to the house. Buggy asked Reno a question: how to deal with the two-thirds of the villagers.

On this island, perhaps only Reno could best represent the victims and punish these villagers who had committed crimes.

When Reno heard Buggy's question, his face showed intense struggle. To say he hated them, he wished they would all die. He wished they would experience all the tortures in the world. This would also comfort his friends who had died at the hands of these villagers.

But he was also very conflicted. Most of the villagers on this island had helped or cared for him when he was young. If it weren't for them, he might have starved to death. So, when Buggy asked how to deal with them, he couldn't make a decision.

Looking at Reno, who was very conflicted, Buggy didn't push him any further. He also thought quietly.

After thinking for a while, he had an idea. Since these people had already agreed not to take their lives, they could only take a compromise approach. They had to make them use the rest of their lives to shine for the safety of this island.

Buggy thought of a solution. He decided to make these people the island's suicide squad. He would make them use their lives to protect the remaining people on this island.

The island was located on the Grand Line, and it was one of the six routes to the second half of the New World. They would definitely encounter pirates here. Before, with the mayor and the village guard, they didn't face any danger when they encountered pirates. Instead, they would get a lot of loot. But now it was different. Without strong power, if they encountered those cruel pirates again, everyone on this island might be eliminated. So, this suicide squad was to prevent this from happening.

If the island encountered such a situation, they would be the first to charge in, even if it cost them their lives. And Buggy would also leave them with restrictions to prevent them from becoming powerful and then oppressing the remaining villagers.

As for this restriction, Buggy decided that it would be Reno. He would stay here for half a month or a month. He would give Reno some things to protect himself and support him to become the captain of the suicide squad. This would give him a certain amount of power to control these villagers. He would also manipulate things from the sidelines to make these villagers afraid.

Buggy told Reno about the treatment of the villagers, his thoughts, the situation in this sea area, and his worries.

Reno listened to these words. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. After some consideration, he nodded and said he supported Buggy's idea.

A month later, Reno stood at the port, looking at Buggy and his crew on the Glory with reluctance.
