Chapter 20: RBTC: Chapter 20
---
Buggy didn't pay attention to the grateful gazes the villagers were throwing at him. He followed Lafitte out of the village.
As they left the village, Lafitte noticed someone following him. He turned to see who it was, and he was surprised again. He saw that Buggy was following him.
His face instantly filled with anger and a hint of unease. He thought that Buggy might be coming after him again. Perhaps he would die here today.
As for escaping successfully, he didn't even think about it. With a strong person like him, he could be dealt with in a few blows. If he wanted to harm him, escape was impossible.
"What are you following me for? You just chased me out of the village. What more do you want?"
Seeing Lafitte's anger, Buggy didn't get angry. He knew why the other party was angry.
Looking at Lafitte, Buggy said calmly, "Where are you going after you leave here?"
Lafitte was confused by the question. He couldn't understand why Buggy was asking this. Was he not here to cause trouble?
"Sir, why are you asking me this? Where I go is none of your business."
Lafitte wanted to know why Buggy was asking, but he also thought that he didn't need to tell Buggy where he was going.
"I have a good place for you. I want to tell you about it. When you get there, you'll not only see the different scenery of the Four Blues, but you'll also see the strong people of this world. You can become one of them."
Buggy had laid the groundwork. Now, he was officially trying to recruit Lafitte.
Hearing this answer, Lafitte was clearly stunned again. The other party seemed to be suggesting a good place for him, not causing trouble.
"Where is this place? And why would I become strong if I went there?"
Lafitte was curious about the place Buggy was suggesting. He didn't know where to go right now. If Buggy's suggestion was good, he wouldn't mind considering it.
"I want you to join my ship. I'll teach you swordsmanship, martial arts, and Haki."
After saying this, Buggy immediately drew "En'yō" and swung it once. Then he used Rankyaku (air kick) and covered his entire body with Armament Haki. He punched the ground.
Two cracks and a giant pit instantly appeared on the ground. Buggy did this to show Lafitte the power of the things he was going to teach him, so he could make the right choice.
At first, Lafitte didn't take Buggy's words seriously. The other party had caused him to end up in this situation. Even if he taught him swordsmanship, he wouldn't agree. He believed that he would eventually reach that level through hard work.
As for the other two things, he hadn't seen them before, so he didn't consider them too much. And he had never heard of Haki. He didn't know what it was.
When Buggy used these three techniques, he was instantly captivated by them. These were definitely abilities that could kill him instantly. Seeing their power, his heart started pounding. This choice might really change his life. Perhaps it would really lead him to the path of strength.
Seeing Lafitte staring intently at the damaged ground, Buggy realized that he was tempted. To add fuel to the fire, he directly explained the effects of Haki and its importance in the latter half of the Grand Line.
"You really will teach me all that? What do I need to do in return?"
Lafitte was tempted. Who wouldn't want to become strong? Following Buggy was a good choice, but he had to be sure what the other party wanted and whether he had to pay a price.
Hearing Lafitte's question, Buggy no longer concealed anything. He directly stated that he wanted to form a pirate crew and wanted him to be his crewmate. He didn't need him to pay anything else.
Hearing Buggy's answer, Lafitte fell into thought. He had to consider this. It was related to his future. This might be the most important decision of his life.
After a while, Lafitte's eyes were filled with determination. He looked at Buggy and said, "Alright, I'll join."
Lafitte knew how to choose the opportunity to become strong. He didn't have anywhere else to go right now. Perhaps this was the best choice. And he was afraid that if he didn't choose him, he would anger the other party. His outcome wouldn't be good.
Hearing Lafitte's words, Buggy's eyes were filled with appreciation. He was worthy of becoming a captain under Blackbeard in the future. He had the necessary decisiveness. He knew how to choose.
"Good. Welcome aboard."
Buggy extended his right hand towards Lafitte. Lafitte also extended his hand and shook Buggy's. Just like that, Lafitte officially joined Buggy's crew.
After Lafitte joined, Buggy took him towards the Glory at West Port. Along the way, he learned that Lafitte's parents were navigators. He was very skilled in navigation, having been taught by his parents. He had also put in a lot of effort in this area and had done some research. He was more than capable of being a navigator for Buggy and his crew.
That night, the two of them returned to the Glory. Buggy introduced Lafitte to Dadan and Kuro, and he introduced Dadan and Kuro to Lafitte. They had officially met.
Hearing that he was a navigator, Dadan and Kuro were very happy. If that was the case, they might not have to operate the Glory anymore. The navigator could handle that task.
Finding Lafitte completed one-third of their mission in the West Blue. The next step was to find the other two.
Over the next few days, they continued to sail in the West Blue. They encountered a few pirate crews along the way, but Buggy easily wiped them out. These people were simply too weak for Buggy. They didn't even have any Devil Fruit users.
Five days later, they arrived on a beautiful island with a town. It was a subordinate island of a country called Westcia.
Westcia was just an island nation. It wasn't a member state of the World Government. It was still relatively backward, with agriculture as its main source of production.
They came here because three days ago, Buggy received a message. A person related to their target had appeared on this island. This person was closely related to the person he wanted to recruit.
This person was said to be a crew member of Rocks. He wasn't very strong, but his son would later stir up trouble on the Grand Line.
This person was Miss Bakkin. Her son was Buggy's target, Edward Weevil, who would later be known as "Whitebeard's son."
