Akai No Hana's

Chapters 9.

After a year of training with Rayleigh on the Busho-shoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki, Buggy mastered it properly despite not being as strong as Rayleigh, rayleigh discovers that Buggy has a Haoushoku Haki hidden deep within him.

Haoushoku Haki was Rayleigh discovered after seeing Buggy's change where he began to be brave and not as cowardly as before. Rayleigh initially wanted to end his training with Buggy for having trained for an entire year on Rusukania Island, but seeing Buggy's surprising potential made him undo his intentions and add time to train Buggy again.

“Buggy.. ouh.. this is very surprising.. You have Haoushoku Haki even though it is still a spark. I didn't expect if a person like you would have that Haki. This would be a good thing after I stuck with you for this one year.”.

Buggy himself was shocked to hear Rayleigh's words, he did not expect if he had such power, “Hoi... Rayleigh-san don't make it up, how can I have such great ability? Oh. and watch your words... Rayleigh-san, it hurt me.”

“Ya... you will know about it soon Buggy, so you will continue this training...but take it easy, this time you will experience something different, Buggy.” Rayleigh reaffirmed his mind to train Buggy, steadily he told Buggy to prepare himself for rehearsal.

Buggy was taught a few things about Haoushoku Haki by Rayleigh for 3 whole months then he was left on Rusukania Island alone, while on his own in vain on Rusukania Island, Buggy continued to strengthen the three haki he had learned, and trained his demonic fruit abilities.

Buggy did not pay much attention to his appearance until he saw him in the lake, his face was full of hair, fortunately he still carried his dagger. Soon he cleaned the hair that filled his face, as he looked back at his already clean face with his whiskers and thin beard, Buggy looked more handsome than when he was wearing make up.

On Rusukania Island, Buggy continued to train to the point that his body underwent drastic changes and his muscles developed very well. There he continued to fight with kingkongs, giant lions, giant crocodiles, giant bears, even animals that have a size in the quaternary continues to be his opponent even into his food.

No matter how long Buggy had felt settled on the island, he had not known a single piece of news from outside the island. Just practicing day and night against the animals that became a place for entertainment, he also trained his physique by running around the island every day, occasionally he uses Bara-Bara no Teleport. To go faster while down the Rusukania Island.

Not feeling the time passed quickly, when the cold weather was at its highest point, Buggy decided to look for a lifeboat that had once been abandoned. Before looking for it, Buggy prepares the food he will bring to sail with a lifeboat.

Carrying a lot of fruits and meat that he had smoked, Buggy picked up the lifeboat that was where he was leaning first. Inhaling the air deeply, Buggy will surely miss this island, almost two years he was on this island and continue to strengthen himself, he said, some memories flashed through his mind as he rowed his lifeboat off towards the free ocean

“Oh. Just practice it.. Your ability will not develop,” said Rayleigh while downing a bottle of beer.

Buggy paddled vigorously and his lifeboat moved swiftly. He kept rowing and watching his surroundings hoping that there would be ships passing by especially pirate ships. With such expectations, Buggy continues to paddle him and occasionally takes breaks to enjoy the sweetness and sourness of the fruit he carries.

While biting an apple, Buggy saw every side of the vast ocean. In the middle of the ocean, Buggy let go of his fatigue, not far from the eye of the beholder, a Sea King was seen moving towards him. With such a large size, the lifeboat that Buggy rode on looked very small.

“Oi... oi... oi.. which is true, why there is a Sea King here. Ah... shit, I don't have room to move.” Buggy was quite worried because the space he had to move was very limited, seeing the speed that the Sea King was picking up, Buggy would soon meet him.

Buggy took the dagger and held it while using the Busho-shoku Haki, the dagger that was originally silvery white began to change color to jet black, Buggy's hands also changed to that color.

The Sea King was getting closer to Buggy, and had a faster speed than a ship. Buggy was initially worried but he soon used the ability of the Bara-Bara no Mi demon fruit to separate his upper body with the lower half.

Buggy flies even if only the upper part of his body, while the lower part of his body is in a lifeboat with dangers lurking. As the Sea King was close to the lifeboat, Buggy directly slashed at him with the daggers in both hands. Fast and neat movements so that the neck of the Sea King split from both directions, Buggy immediately returned to his lifeboat and left the Sea King floating in the open ocean.

It was getting dark and Buggy had not found an island to dock or a sailing ship, only accompanied by night and fruit, Buggy slept on a lifeboat. Tomorrow Buggy feels refreshed after spending ten pieces of fresh fruit and he continues to paddle to look for an island or a sailing ship.

By late afternoon, Buggy had finally found what he had been waiting for for a very long time, a large ship with cannons that had three barrel-shaped tubes, it has one large support pole and several other supports. As the sail fluttered majestically, Buggy discovered that the ship in front of him belonged to the Marine, after he saw the emblem on the large ship's sail.
