RBTC: Chapter 118

"Buggy, kid, fair winds and following seas. I entrust Iceburg to you. Please take good care of him."

At a port in Water 7, Tom, accompanied by Franky, came to see off Iceburg and Buggy and his crew. He also told Buggy to take good care of Iceburg.

Iceburg, standing beside Buggy, couldn't help but shed tears when he heard Tom say this. With his personality, he bowed deeply and said with trembling voice, "Uncle Tom, please take care of yourself. If you encounter any danger, contact the captain immediately. I will also protect myself."

In Iceburg's heart, Tom's safety was always on his mind. He also reminded Tom specifically before leaving. And to reassure Tom, he also promised that he would protect himself.

"Alright, Iceburg. You must protect yourself. Be vigilant when sailing at sea. Don't be careless. Make sure to get your captain's permission before doing anything. Don't be too curious about everything. If you encounter danger, stay calm. That's the only way to have a chance to survive."

Tom shared his years of experience sailing at sea and reminded Iceburg to be safe. The sea was very cruel. There was a constant threat to life. Iceburg also had to pay attention to these aspects.

"Understood, Uncle Tom. I will keep your advice in mind."

Iceburg knew that Tom was saying these things because he cared about him. This was probably Tom's experience over the years. He also felt the care in his words. He would, of course, keep in mind what Tom said.

At this time, Franky, standing beside Tom, was also watching Iceburg with tears in his eyes. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't say a word.

"Franky, you have to work hard too. Otherwise, I'll easily take the position of the world's number one shipwright. And remember to take good care of Uncle Tom. Don't make Uncle Tom angry. Protect Uncle Tom. If there's any danger, notify me immediately."

To inspire Franky's fighting spirit, Iceburg deliberately mentioned the position of the world's number one shipwright. He hoped that Franky would work hard to learn shipbuilding techniques while he was gone. At the same time, he hoped that Franky would take good care of Tom while he was gone and not let Tom encounter any danger. To prevent Tom from sending a distress signal or Buggy from receiving information that Tom was in danger, he also reminded Franky to notify him immediately if Tom encountered any danger. This was another kind of insurance for Iceburg.

Franky looked at Iceburg. He didn't speak. He looked at Iceburg with a determined expression and nodded fiercely.

Seeing Franky nod, Iceburg knew what he meant. He also nodded at Franky, encouraging him.

Seeing Iceburg's reluctant expression, Tom looked at Buggy and said, "Buggy, kid, it's getting late. You should be on your way."

Seeing this scene, Tom knew that he should be the one to say this. He couldn't delay Buggy's departure because of him and Iceburg.

"Uncle Tom, take care."

Hearing Tom say this, Buggy knew they should leave. He also glanced at Franky and Iceburg and said loudly, "Set sail."

Hearing Buggy's voice, Iceburg immediately bowed to Tom again. Then, he turned and ran towards the cockpit with tears in his eyes.

Iceburg was now the shipwright of the Red-Haired Pirates. He also knew the ship best. Since they were going to start sailing, he had to go and operate it. He ran into the cockpit with reluctance. The ship started under Iceburg's operation. The Glory sailed out of Water 7.

When Franky saw the Glory start, his tears flowed like a waterfall. He opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, "Iceburg, you must come back safely. But the world's number one shipwright will be me."

Franky's face was covered in tears. He kept shouting by the sea. As the Glory's speed increased, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He muttered, "Iceburg, I will definitely become the world's number one shipwright."

Iceburg in the cockpit also heard Franky's voice. Tears flowed from his face like a waterfall, but he laughed heartily. He knew that when they met again, Franky would definitely surprise him. He wouldn't be the little kid he was now. Thinking of this, he was also happy for Franky.

Tom saw Franky like this. He didn't try to persuade or comfort him. He knew their relationship. He also knew that although they fought and bickered, they were truly like brothers. Hearing Franky say this, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. He looked at the Glory in the distance. A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He also wanted to see the day when the two of them truly grew up.

Time flew by. Buggy and his crew sailed for five days. They passed Enies Lobby, but they didn't enter the island. Buggy and his crew just found a secluded place, filled up on magnetic force, and set off again.

Enies Lobby didn't have anything that interested Buggy and his crew. And there were a lot of elite Marines stationed there. They didn't need to provoke them. If they entered Enies Lobby, they might attract powerful figures from the Marines. And this time, it might not just be Akainu. Perhaps all three of the Marine monsters would come to cause trouble for Buggy.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Buggy finally arrived at his destination. He was coming to the Devil's Triangle this time. There was a future crew member waiting for him there.

"Enel, don't go in. Stay outside the fog. Every once in a while, release lightning into the fog. You must make a loud noise."

This Devil's Triangle or Florian Triangle was as dangerous as the fog they had encountered before. Entering it, you couldn't tell directions. The Log Pose was useless. They might get lost in it. Many pirates had died in the Devil's Triangle because they got lost. Brook and his crew were like that. They got lost in the fog and were wiped out.

Leaving Enel behind was also to prevent them from getting lost in the fog and not being able to find their way out. Enel could use the Goro Goro no Mi to make noise outside. This would also give Buggy and his crew in the fog a point of reference. Once they found Brook, they could find their way out based on the direction of the lightning. They could safely exit the fog.

This was the best solution Buggy had come up with after thinking about it. This would ensure that they wouldn't get lost in the fog.

Buggy looked at Enel's confused expression and explained his thoughts to him. He also explained the situation of the Devil's Triangle.

Enel, of course, immediately agreed. This wasn't difficult for him. He also had the ability to fly. He didn't need a small boat or anything. He didn't even need a means of transportation. His Goro Goro no Mi could make a loud noise. It was also the best point of reference. He knew that he was the only one who could make a guiding sound on the ship. He was the best choice.

At the same time, Enel was also very happy. This proved that Buggy trusted him. He was entrusting his and his crew's lives to him.
