Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 119: Test Result



Chapter 119: Test Result

Soon afterward, Cricket comes together with the girls & Diane. He met them on his way here and they forced him to carry their groceries. He's also accompanying their shopping. The poor guy couldn't refuse Mantis' request or he will sleep alone tonight.

"Bad timing, huh?" asks Buggy as Cricket sits beside him.

"Sigh, at least it didn't take a long time because the dinner time is close," says Cricket.

"Is there any problem today?" asks Buggy.

"Just a small problem. Some thugs tried to steal on our ship, but got defeated easily," says Cricket while puffing his cigarette.

"The guards didn't make trouble, right?" asks Buggy.

"Luckily they didn't, or they would also get beaten up," says Cricket while smirking.

"Heh, I'm sure they would. You should've known it from Manba & Ruff, but let me introduce him. He's Bani, the one that has high possibility to be Palu's biological father," says Buggy.

Buggy introduces Bani to Cricket and also does the opposite. They have some small talks while waiting for the dinner to get cooked. The food's ready after 15 minutes and they have dinner together.

Mantis has saved some portions for Ruff, Manba, and Deon who aren't here. Even so, the portions that get served here are still a lot. The 3 boys here are the biggest eaters in their crew, so they need a lot of food.

"I'm really glad that you've helped me to cook all of these. I won't be able to cook this much by myself," says Diane while they eat.

"Don't mind it. Preparing their food is my duty as the crew's chef. Besides, you've taught me some cuisines from Birka, so thank you," says Mantis.

"It's alright. I always wanted to teach my daughter if I ever have one. But since my baby got kidnapped, I never thought of having another child," says Diane with a sad expression.

The dining room suddenly gets gloomy because of it and it makes Diane panic.

"A-Ah, but it's okay because I have my husband, and now my baby is back. W-Well, we need to wait for the DNA test to be sure of it though," says Diane to cheer them up, but then she gets gloomy because of her own words.

"Don't worry, I'm sure the result will be positive," says Jude to cheer Diane.

"Hehe, I hope so. Ah, by the way, which one of you girls is Palu's girlfriend?" asks Diane curiously.

*PFFT* *COUGH COUGH*

Palu spits his food a little and coughs because he is surprised. Diane's question is very sudden and that question is very wrong.

"I don't have any girlfriend, yet," says Palu after drinking water.

"You don't have one? You are 26 and almost 27, you know? This is the best time to get a girl for a man," says Bani.

"That's right. There are 2 beautiful girls here and you can't even get one of them? Wait! Y-You don't go the wrong way, right?" asks Diane with a horror expression.

"No way! I'm normal and like girls. Sigh, but these 2 are out of the question. If I want a girlfriend, I will need to find someone else," says Palu before biting the meat on his hand.

"Hmm? Why are they out of question?" asks Diane curiously.

Palu doesn't say a word and just uses his fork to gesture something. He points it at Mantis to Cricket first before pointing at Jude to Buggy. Mantis & Cricket don't have any reaction, but Jude blushes and it makes Buggy sigh.

Diane & Bani now understand it. They apologize to the 4 of them, but it's not a big deal, so they don't mind it. But they just don't know that Jude & Buggy aren't in that relationship and it's just a one side thing from Jude.

After dinner, Buggy & Jude return to the ship while the others do what they want. Palu stays in the house because he wants to fix it a little and talk with Bani & Diane. Cricket & Mantis go to the town for a 'date'.

Buggy carries the food for Manba, Ruff, and Deon. He talks with Jude to spend their time while walking to the ship. They arrived after 20 minutes and sees Ruff is working on something with Deon watching it curiously.

"What are you doing?" asks Jude.

"Oh, you're back. I just found this interesting boat on a junkyard and took it back. Ruff also got interested in this, so he dismantles it to learn what it is," says Deon.

"That's a Waver, a boat powered by dial," says Buggy.

That's right, what Deon found is a broken Waver. It has the same name and a similar design as the one in Skypiea. Well, these Sky Islands have some connections, so their technologies are rather similar too.

"Waver? Dial? What are those?" asks Ruff curiously.

"Ah, you haven't learned about it because you were accompanying Palu before," says Buggy.

Buggy then explains Waver & Dials to them. Jude & Deon have heard about Dials because people keep talking about it. But they don't know much and Buggy's explanation makes them understand it.

The three get very interested by them, especially the Dials. Waver is just a way to use the Dials for transportation. There are many ways to use the Dials that have different functions.

"Hehe, I can think of many ideas on how to use these Dials already. Captain, can I go on my own tomorrow? I want to learn about these Dials," says Ruff excitedly.

"No, at least take someone with you. I don't want to find you get beaten up again like what happened on the previous island," says Buggy.

"W-Well, alright, but who?" asks Ruff.

"I'll go with you. These Dials also make me interested, so I will go with you," says Deon.

"Alright," says Ruff.

"Good, make sure to learn everything about these Dials. They will be very useful for our ship and crew," says Buggy.

"Hehe, I know you will think like that too," says Ruff excitedly.

Ruff wants to resume his dismantling work, but Jude stops him and tells him to eat. He wants to refuse, but his stomach growl after smelling the food. So then Ruff & Deon eat together after calling Manba.

The next morning, Manba finished his job & Ruff also finished learning the Waver. Ruff & Deon go to learn about Dials, while the others go to Bani's house. Manba will reveal the DNA test result now.

When they arrived at Bani's house, the holes on the wall have been fixed. Palu has fixed them even though it is made of cloud, a material that he never used. But he just need to learn the basics from Bani and it became very easy for him.

The house doesn't look like a new house, but it looks better now. At least wind won't enter the house through the holes and animals won't enter through them again. It is more comfortable to be lived on.

Everyone now gathers in the living room to hear the reveal. No one here knows the result except for Manba. He doesn't even tell Buggy about it to make it fair.

"S-So how's the result?" asks Diane nervously.

Manba waits for a moment before smiling and says, "It's positive, you are parents & son."

Everyone cheers and Diane cries happily then she hugs Palu. Bani & Palu's eyes also get wet and they are hugging each other. Then they hold a party after calling Ruff & Deon.

"Captain, those Half-Wings Pirates, can I destroy them?" asks Palu in the middle of the party.

"Sure, go with the others, I will take care of the government here. I'll make sure they won't meddle in this," says Buggy while sipping his drink.

"Thanks. I'll take my parents' money back. How dare they took the money without doing anything," says Palu while shattering the glass on his hand.
