One Piece: Reincarnated as Buggy the Clown

---

"You're Black Cat Kuro. Let's get straight to the point. I want you to join us and become my crewmate."

Buggy didn't want to waste any time. He stated his reason for coming directly.

"What? You two think you can recruit me? I'm Black Cat Kuro! I'm a big name in this part of the East Blue."

"Hahaha, kid, your eyes are only on this small part of the sea. You're a big name? In this East Blue, you're just a little ant. Come with me, kid. I'll show you what the real sea is like. I'll take you to the highest peak."

Kuro's words made Buggy burst into laughter. What an arrogant fool! A small-time pirate with a bounty of a few thousand berries, boasting about being a big name in the East Blue.

"What are you laughing at? Who wants to see your peak? I can achieve everything you're talking about."

Kuro was full of ambition at this time. He believed he could achieve everything Buggy had mentioned on his own.

Seeing Kuro's ambitious expression, Buggy knew he couldn't convince him. There was only one way.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Buggy used Soru (moonwalk), flashed forward, and landed on the Black Cat Pirates' ship. Before they could react, he kicked all the Black Cat Pirates' crew members to the deck, including Kuro. He focused on Kuro, but he held back a bit on the other crew members, afraid of kicking them to death. He only knocked them unconscious. He deliberately put a little more force into his kick on Kuro, sending him flying into the deck. He was completely submerged.

Buggy pulled Kuro out of the deck, grabbed a bucket of water, and poured it over him.

The water had a clear effect. The young man groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with confusion and shock. The pain all over his body made him realize that he had been defeated.

Looking at Buggy's face, Kuro said through the pain, "Who are you? How are you so strong? What's your goal? I don't believe a strong person like you would be interested in me."

"I used to be a bounty hunter. You've probably heard of me. Everyone calls me 'Clown'. Now I'm looking for crew members for my soon-to-be pirate crew. As for why I'm looking for you, I have my reasons. You don't need to know."

Buggy wouldn't tell Kuro the reasons. There was no need.

"You're the strongest bounty hunter in the East Blue, 'Clown'. It can't be. I've seen his portrait. You're nothing like him except for that red nose."

Buggy's current image was different from his image as a bounty hunter. He had washed off the makeup on his face. Now, he only had a red nose. He looked similar to the bounty hunter "Clown."

"Kid, you better not talk about my nose. Or I'll give you a close encounter with my fist."

Buggy was furious when Kuro mentioned his red nose. It was a sore spot for him. If Kuro dared to say it again, Buggy wouldn't hesitate to give him another lesson.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I understand."

Seeing Buggy's expression, Kuro trembled. He immediately apologized. He didn't want to get beaten up again. He was still in pain from that kick. He couldn't take another beating.

"I have no reason to lie to you. I don't need to lie to you with my strength. I'm giving you two choices: join me or die."

Buggy felt there was no need to say anything more. He wasn't going to put on the clown makeup for Kuro. It would be beneath him. The current Kuro wasn't worth it.

He issued his ultimatum. The two choices were real. If Kuro couldn't give Buggy the choice he wanted, it would prove that he wasn't worth it. Such a crew member wouldn't be worth having. Death might be his best option.

Although he hadn't done anything bad yet, he would definitely do a lot of bad things in the future with his cunning. Eliminating him now would spare the East Blue from a future menace.

Hearing these two choices, Kuro fell into thought. He could tell that the other party wasn't joking. If he couldn't make the right choice, he might really die here.

"Fine, I'll join." After only a moment's hesitation, Kuro made the most important decision of his life. He didn't hesitate to choose to join. If he couldn't win, he could only join. His life was more important than anything else. If he died, he would have nothing. Kuro knew how to choose.

Hearing this choice, Buggy smiled. Smart people are smart people. They know how to make the right choice.

Looking at the scattered Black Cat Pirates' crew members on the deck, Buggy said, "Send your crew home to farm. The sea isn't a playground. With their strength, they shouldn't be pirates. Going home is the best choice for them."

After all, these were Kuro's former crew members. Buggy gave them a piece of advice. With their strength, they shouldn't set sail. Going home was the best option for them.

"I understand, Captain." Seeing his crew scattered on the deck, Kuro took Buggy's advice to heart.

Their strength was truly too weak. They were all defeated in an instant. If the crew didn't have him, there was no need for them to sail anymore. If they continued, they might be wiped out. Going home might be their best option.

After giving Kuro his instructions, Buggy used Soru to fly back to the Glory.

Seeing Buggy's actions, Kuro's eyes were filled with surprise again. At the same time, he was even more determined and even more certain of his choice. Perhaps this decision was the most correct one he had ever made.

After waiting for about ten minutes, amid a chorus of sobs, Daddy Masterson pulled Kuro onto the Glory with a rope. Kuro had given his instructions.

The sight on board the Glory shocked Kuro again. From afar, he hadn't seen the Glory. He hadn't had time to observe the Glory when he got closer. Now, he could see that the Glory was far superior to his old, broken ship.

After Kuro had toured the Glory, Daddy Masterson took him to the cockpit and taught him how to drive. Then he became a hands-off manager.

Of course, this kind of work should be left to the new member. He also needed to train. Before, there had only been the captain, but now there was one more person. He naturally wanted to get rid of this job.

Kuro was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect them to give him such an important job right away. Weren't they afraid that he would sabotage the Glory, cause a malfunction, and then escape?

Of course, Kuro didn't know that Buggy and Daddy Masterson weren't afraid. Even if something happened to the ship, Kuro wouldn't be able to escape. They gave him this job because they didn't want to do it. They had to train and increase their strength.
