Chapter 104: Planning to Re-equip!

Chapter 104: Planning to Re-equip!

In the evening, as Buggy sat at the villa entrance with Hancock in his arms watching the sunset, the shadow of the "Thor" finally appeared on the horizon.

When the "Thor" landed on the ground and everyone got off the ship, Buggy looked at the two men, both of whom had drawn blood, and asked, "Did you have your fun?"

He didn't ask about the result, because he could already see it. Asking would not only be pointless but also have a hint of mockery.

"It was very satisfying!" Mihawk nodded, indicating that he had had a good fight this time.

"Captain, can I ask you for one more thing?" With a satisfied look in his eyes, Shiliew didn't say how satisfied he was, but instead changed the subject.

"Let's hear it. If I can do it for you, I'll do my best," Buggy nodded and replied.

"I want a sufficiently heavy sword. After my strength increased, this current sword feels completely weightless when I use it, and it actually affects the display of my combat power." Having his strength suddenly increase by more than a hundredfold, to be honest, Shiliew was having a hard time adjusting. The sword that had been so comfortable to use before now felt completely weightless.

"How heavy do you need it to be?" Buggy asked Shiliew after thinking for a moment.

"It would be best if it were a hundred times the weight of this current sword, but..." Shiliew didn't continue after saying this, but Buggy understood his meaning.

The unsaid part wasn't that Shiliew didn't want to say it, but that he felt saying it would be asking too much of Buggy, because what he wanted was preferably to increase the weight while keeping the size of the sword unchanged. Of course, a little bigger would be fine, but not too big, otherwise, it would be awkward to use.

"I understand what you mean. To be honest, this is really a bit difficult to handle. Other things are easy to say, but the key is that the material is not easy to find. Don't be in a hurry. Let me think about it first," Buggy did not agree at once.

"Alright." Seeing that Buggy was willing to think about it, Shiliew said no more.

After everyone else had gone off to their own business, Buggy, strolling along the edge of the island with Hancock, took out his compass to look at it.

"Brother Buggy, what are you looking at?" Knowing the miraculous nature of Buggy's compass, Hancock asked him.

"I'm looking to see if there's any material to make the kind of sword Shiliew mentioned," Buggy didn't hide anything and answered directly.

"So, is there any? This compass is spinning very strangely," Hancock asked curiously.

"If there wasn't any, it wouldn't be spinning. But this direction of rotation reminds me of when I was looking for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for Bonez. This way of spinning... it seems the material is in the sky!" Buggy said unhurriedly, looking at the distant horizon.

"In the sky? A sky island?" Hancock didn't quite understand what Buggy was referring to.

"An island formed by clouds probably doesn't produce metal. If I'm not mistaken, the thing we're looking for should be in outer space."

After hearing Buggy's answer, Hancock asked with some astonishment, "Brother Buggy, can we still get it if it's in outer space?"

"Of course, there's a way. The first is to have Sandersonia take Bonez on a trip. Of course, this trip would be extremely dangerous, so this method can't be used. The only one that can be used is the second one: to make the stars from outer space fall down," as Buggy said this, a trace of relief flashed in his heart.

It's a good thing I went to find Fujitora this time and reached a consensus with him. If I hadn't found him and had instead directly asked Sandersonia to help me open the Southwest Tunnel, the matter of the sword-forging material would probably have been a lost cause.

"Brother Buggy, is there someone who has the ability to make the stars fall?" Even Hancock was surprised by Buggy's words. After all, things like stars should, in common sense, be things that can only be viewed from a distance and not toyed with.

"A monster I met on my last trip out. He's a user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, and his strength is very formidable. He happens to be able to do just that. After we rest for a few days, we'll set out to find him. We can also take this opportunity to re-equip the entire crew," Buggy said with some excitement.

Among the existing members of the Red Nose Pirates, apart from Buggy who had no need to use a weapon, although Hancock's requirements for a weapon were not high, it was perfectly fine for her to carry one at her waist. After all, she didn't have her specialty transforming snake from Kuja with her.

Although Daz Bonez's strength was in long-range attacks, he had recently been learning to use a sword from Mihawk and also needed a weapon. Although Betty didn't use a sword, she needed a heat-resistant flamethrower; this was something she had specifically mentioned to Buggy after the trip to the Sarkozy Kingdom.

Paula, being infatuated with Mihawk, needed a sword even if she didn't use one, just to make a statement. The few Kung-Fu Dugongs needed custom-made boxing gloves, and the Baboon needed a pair of powerful boots. As for the remaining Law, Hawkins, and Shiliew, they all needed a well-suited swift sword.

The only uncertainty was Mihawk; he didn't know if he would need to reforge his black blade as well.

Of course, the only outside help on the ship, Chopper, also had to be considered. Equipment aside, a set of sharp surgical tools was a must.

So at this moment, Buggy wasn't worried about whether he could get the material, but whether the material would be enough.

Two days later, after gathering all the personnel and asking them, Buggy discovered that he had actually miscalculated. Not only did Sandersonia and Marigold's Ōjū and Kokutō also need to be reforged, but there were also the other Human Drills who had come to Rusukaina with Mihawk. Moreover, Mihawk had also clearly stated that if there was a metal better than the black iron used to make his blade, he wouldn't mind reforging it either.

To be honest, Mihawk was also a bit dissatisfied with the weight of his black blade, because he felt that he would sooner or later enter the "Heavy Blade Realm," so it would be better to upgrade his equipment in advance.

After hearing all these requests, Buggy considered for a moment and then decisively stopped the training of the remaining Human Drills. In any case, now that they had been recruited by the World Government, the combat power crisis had been resolved. Apart from that one Baboon, there was no need to continue training the rest of the Human Drills. It would be better to take this opportunity to train them into farmers specifically for planting crops.

As for the boxing gloves for cow 1 to cow 5, Buggy was not prepared to skimp on them, just treating it as a distribution of benefits.

Leaving the others to continue their training, Buggy took only Hancock and had Bonez pilot the "Thor" to set off with him.

A day later, on that same peaceful little island, Fujitora sensed a familiar presence as soon as he reached the village entrance.

"Have you changed your mind after only a few days?" Fujitora asked Buggy, who was standing at the village entrance.

"Not at all. I've come this time purely to ask for a small favor. I hope you won't refuse," Buggy said with a smile.

"What favor?" Fujitora asked, not quite understanding.

"I need a special kind of metal, and this metal can only be found in outer space. So I'd like to ask for your help in summoning one or two stars that contain this metal down for me."
