Chapter 14: RBTC: Chapter 14
---
Buggy's gains over the past year were enormous.
First, in terms of money, he had earned nearly 500 million berries from bounty hunting.
In the East Blue, where the highest bounty was only 30 million berries, Buggy had made up for the difference in quantity. He had taken down all the vicious pirates in the East Blue with bounties of 8 million berries or more. He wasn't interested in those with bounties below 8 million. There were countless pirates setting sail now, and Buggy couldn't manage them all. Their strength didn't attract his attention. As a result, pirates in the East Blue no longer dared to be so vicious. They were more cautious in their actions. The East Blue wasn't as chaotic as the other four seas.
Over the past year, Buggy's strength had also improved rapidly. His swordsmanship was on the verge of reaching the level of master swordsman. The breakthrough was imminent.
In martial arts, he had mastered Rokushiki. He could use any technique at will in any situation and environment. He had developed more and more techniques. He had also vaguely touched the edge of "Life Return."
He hadn't stopped training his stamina. He had been exercising during his missions, and his stamina was steadily increasing.
His Haki had also improved significantly. He could now cover his entire body with Armament Haki, and his Observation Haki could now observe a ten-meter radius around him.
His Devil Fruit powers had also improved significantly. He could now split every limb and part of his body, just like the original Buggy at the beginning of the story. He had also figured out how he would develop it later.
Real combat was the fastest way to improve. In a year, his strength had made a quantum leap.
Buggy had made a decision. He would finish his current missions and then find one more person before setting sail.
Turning in the missions was uneventful. The Marines were very eager to see him. As soon as he turned in the heads of all the members of the Giant Sword Pirates, they immediately handed Buggy the 30 million berry bounty.
Leaving the Loguetown Marine base, Buggy headed towards an inn. He was going to find someone, their future sniper.
This person had appeared in the One Piece anime and was an old rival of the sniper of a Yonko crew. He was the early rival of Yasopp.
Yasopp and Daddy Masterson had a decisive battle. Although Daddy Masterson lost, he had injured Yasopp. At that time, Yasopp was already a member of Shanks' crew. It was a good result to have achieved that.
He was once a genius sniper in the Marines. He was even considered an elite and was being trained by the Marines. But for various reasons, he later became ordinary.
Although his strength later wasn't very good, his talent was undeniable. If he had been trained properly, he would have been a sniper as good as Yasopp. As for why Buggy didn't choose Yasopp directly, he had his own reasons. He was good friends with Shanks. How could he steal his crew member?
The current Daddy Masterson was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He hadn't joined the Marines yet. He was still a bounty hunter. Buggy had met him during the year and they had become friends.
When he arrived at the bar, Buggy looked at a young man in a corner. The young man wasn't particularly handsome. He was unremarkable.
He was dressed uniquely. He was wearing a cowboy hat and a cloak that covered his entire body. From the gaps, you could see that he was carrying many guns, clearly a skilled marksman.
Buggy took two drinks from the counter and went straight to the young man's table. He sat down directly.
The young man saw Buggy. He didn't react. He knew why Buggy had come. They had talked about it before.
"Daddy Masterson, have you made up your mind? Come be my crewmate. Only the vast sea can hold our dreams. The East Blue is too small. You'll only bury your talent here. Don't you want to become the world's best sniper? Don't you want to see the wider world? Come with me. I'll help you achieve your dreams and show you a wider world."
After saying this, Buggy stared intently into Daddy Masterson's eyes.
Under Buggy's fiery gaze, Daddy Mastersongave in. He looked away.
As Daddy Mastersonlooked away, Buggy saw many emotions in his eyes: struggle, longing, anticipation. Seeing these emotions, Buggy realized that Daddy Mastersonwas already tempted, but he had some reservations.
"Daddy Masterson, what are you hesitating about? Just say it. If you have any concerns, I'll do my best to help you solve them."
Daddy Masterson struggled again. After a while, he said, "My parents are still in Loguetown. I'm worried about them. What if something happens to them while I'm at sea? I won't be able to take care of them."
Buggy heard Daddy Masterson's words and understood why he was hesitant. His family was the main reason for his hesitation.
After thinking for a moment, Buggy said, "Daddy Masterson, that's easy to solve. We can hire a group of people to take care of your parents. We can also buy Den Den Mushi so you can communicate with them. If there's a problem, you can always come back. Even if there's no problem, you can come back if you want. These aren't problems. As for the money, I'll pay for it."
Daddy Masterson's eyes lit up. This would indeed solve his concerns.
After a moment of silence, Daddy Mastersonseemed to make a decision. He looked at Buggy and said, "Thank you, Captain. When are we leaving? I need to go back and prepare."
"Whenever you're ready, we can leave."
With that, Buggy handed Daddy Mastersonthe bag containing 30 million berries.
That was all the berries Buggy had left. He gave it all to Daddy Mastersonto solve his worries.
Buggy had already found a shipbuilder during the year and built a new ship. It had cost him over 400 million berries. That was a very expensive price, but it was expensive for a reason. Buggy's ship was built with a lot of Adam Wood. It was excellent in both performance and size. The ship had been built a month ago, and Buggy had already inspected it. It was now docked at the Loguetown shipyard. Of course, this left him with very little money left.
After Buggy handed the bag to Daddy Masterson, Daddy Mastersonopened it and looked at what was inside. Seeing the bag full of berries, Daddy Mastersonwas very surprised.
Although he was a bounty hunter, he was only a sniper, and he was alone. He usually only hunted bounties of one or two million berries. He had never seen so many berries before.
"Captain, this is too much. I don't need that much."
"It's nothing. Your parents have worked hard all their lives. It's time for them to enjoy their retirement. This money is nothing to me. I can earn it easily by taking down a pirate crew.
Of course, when you take it back, make sure your parents stay low-key. Don't let anyone with ill intentions get their eyes on it."
This money was nothing to Buggy. He wouldn't be fazed by giving it all away. But he had to remind Daddy Masterson's parents to be careful. This money was nothing to him, but it was a fortune for many commoners, especially in this world. Some people would do anything for money. If they attracted the wrong attention, they might lose their money and their lives. That wouldn't be good. And Daddy Mastersonmight even be affected.
"I understand, Captain. I'll make sure my parents are careful."
Hearing Buggy's warning, Daddy Masterson agreed. This was how the world worked. 30 million berries could lead to very bad consequences. So, he would tell his parents to be very careful.
The two of them discussed the next steps, and then Daddy Mastersonleft the bar with the bag.
Buggy finished his drink and left the bar as well.
