Chapter 67 Buggy D CLown (Patreon)
Content
Just as everyone was captivated by Sengoku and several Admiral-level combat forces, the sound of violent explosions in the distant sky immediately drew their attention.
It was only at this moment that they remembered Marine Admiral Kizaru, who had rushed over earlier and seemed to be facing some kind of obstruction.
After a shocking explosion, a dazzling blue thunderlight and a shining golden light appeared suspended in mid-air in the distance. Kizaru's classic expression appeared on the live screen again, and with a smirk, he said, "Stop joking, Buggy. Have you found the strongest Logia user of Thunder Fruit? Your pirate group's strength is a bit too scary?"
Logia: Thunder thunder Fruit?! The words stunned Sengoku and others standing on the warship in the distance. They turned their heads to look at the source of the commotion.
"Haha, have you finally come out to face the gods' judgment?" Enel laughed while holding a long golden stick.
"Is this the strength of a Marine Admiral? Come on! An awakened Glint Glint Fruit user? Snort! In front of this god, can you really call yourself 'light'? Your light is powerful, but unfortunately, it doesn't work against my thunder! My thunder can restrain your light! Let me show you this trick! Two hundred million volts, El Thor!"
Enel's wild laughter echoed through the sky and earth, seemingly even influencing the weather. The once-clear sky transformed into billowing dark clouds, and endless thunder flashed, darkening the entire sky.
The spectators watching the live broadcast were exhilarated by the display. The strongest Logia's Thunder Fruit? Even the Marine Admiral acknowledges its terrifying ability!
Suddenly, they witnessed thunder descending from the dark clouds, while Enel's figure soared, turning into a 100-meter tall thunder giant, enveloped in thunderlight. Thunder Balls filled the sky within a kilometer radius, preventing Kizaru from making any advances.
The most fearsome aspect of Enel's power was his ability to teleport in this state. As Kizaru had pointed out, his Glint Glint Fruit's light ability was ineffective against Enel, who was lightning personified.
Kizaru's own light could cause explosions, but it required contact with physical entities. For Enel, who embodied lightning, this was an impossibility.
Moreover, the power of Enel's thunder could harm Kizaru! Enel's lightning not only had electricity and heat but could also produce massive explosions!
This was why the Thunder Fruit was called the strongest Logia.
Another point was that Thunder Fruit allowed Enel to teleport within the area of the field it created, making him faster than Kizaru in certain respects!
The abilities of the two of them were indistinguishable in a short time!
Kizaru could only defeat Enel with an overwhelming Haki advantage and powerful Haki.
But Haki was not Kizaru's forte!
As Zephyr pointed out, Kizaru relied too much on Glint Glint Fruit's abilities. Before Enel appeared, there was no Devil Fruit that could limit Kizaru's powers. However, with Enel's appearance, Kizaru faced a formidable opponent.
Enel's talent was terrifying on its own, mastering the Observation Haki that could cover the entire Sky Island. Thanks to systematic teachings from Rayleigh, Buggy, and Bullet, Enel's progress was rapid. Even faster than Luffy's progress, who only had a false teacher. Kaido taught Luffy more than Rayliegh did in 2 years.
Not only did Enel have Buggy and Bullet to learn from, but even Gabban occasionally taught him in actual combat. The energy-filled food supplements of the Boin Islands also contributed to Enel's rapid growth.
Most importantly, Buggy informed Enel of his previous life experiences and some development directions for Thunder Fruit, elevating his understanding of the fruit to a higher level. Enel even claimed to have touched the edge of awakening.
Facing Marine Admiral Kizaru, Enel's strength fully revealed itself. He began to display his [God's Enel's] majesty to the world. Despite fruit restraint, he could single-handedly hold a Marine Admiral, a terrifying ability that shocked major forces paying attention to the battle.
Above the sky, Kaido exclaimed, "Buggy, can you guys even find Thunder Fruit user? I like your talent more and more. How about it? Join us, Beast Pirates, and we'll be invincible!"
The viewers, who initially thought Kaido came to cause trouble, were shocked to hear him invite Buggy to join forces with the Beast Pirates. Even Sengoku, Akainu, and others in the distance looked solemn. If Buggy agreed to join forces with Kaido, their efforts to imprison all Buggy members in Impel Down would be in vain.
They underestimated the Buggy team's potential growth since the Summit War. Buggy's ability to find a Thunder Fruit user capable of restraining Kizaru was unimaginable in such a short time.
Nervously, everyone stared at Buggy as he raised his hands to his forehead and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha! Join you, Kaido? Do you even realize what you're saying? Have you been in the position of the Four Emperors for so long that you're used to being superior and arrogant? Have you forgotten eras before you?"
In the next moment, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki swept towards the sky, accompanied by platinum, black, and three-color lightning, tearing cracks in the dark, clouded sky!
A ray of sunlight descended from the sky, enveloping Buggy as he sat with his legs crossed, leaning against the high back chair, giving him an appearance akin to a god incarnate!
Buzz!
Kaido showed no signs of weakness; his tyrannical Conqueror's Haki surged from his eyes with blue and black lightning, and the two auras clashed in the sky!
Woo woo woo!
As the two terrifying Conquerors collided in the sky, a strong wind blew and countless black lightning intertwined, creating an immensely frightening momentum!
The sky, once filled with dark clouds, split into two under the force of this collision of Conqueror's Haki!
The sky cracked!
This was just a collision of their auras!
Was this how the world's top powerhouses clashed?
Shattering the sky with every move!
But everything didn't stop as expected; the two equally matched Conqueror's Haki collided and intertwined in the sky, but after a tense stalemate of more than ten seconds, they exploded.
Boom!
The tremendous explosion's force rippled through the sky, dispersing the billowing dark clouds!
For a moment, the sun bathed the ground again, relieving the tension among the spectators watching the live broadcast.
Powerful!
Too strong!
Countless people filled with joy suddenly became excited.
That clown, Buggy, was on par with the Four Emperors, Kaido, in the aura confrontation!
Was this the power of the Godslayer?
"That Buggy guy is strong indeed!" Sengoku gritted his teeth from a distance.
"We must not let them go this time, Sengoku; let's take action!" Akainu's eyes gleamed with malice.
Clearly, they were upset about letting Buggy and the others escape so easily the last time they encountered them on the battlefield.
Aokiji felt a shiver down his spine.
"That's right! Just as Admiral Sakazuki said, let's kill them all!" Green Bull Araki was also excited.
Fujitora frowned but remained silent.
Though he didn't fully comprehend what Buggy said during the live broadcast, he was astonished!
He never expected that a mere pirate would have such a grandiose dream!
The old will find a peaceful end, the strong will be of service, the young will flourish, and the needy, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick will all find support!
What an awe-inspiring dream this was.
Though the old man couldn't see, he hoped that one day he could live in such a world!
Godslayer: Buggy
The old man will watch you! After you uttered those words, it became more than just your dream. It now carries the aspirations of countless individuals for the future!
"No rush, let's wait and see!" Sengoku said coldly.
"That guy, Kaido, won't let it slide. Let's observe for now. The Celestial Dragons are dead, and there's no urgency to act," Fujitora replied, following Sengoku's lead.
Green Bull and Aokiji exchanged glances, and the former quipped, "You better agree with Sengoku!"
Sengoku understood Fujitora's philosophy, so he didn't argue further.
Meanwhile, in the sky, when Kaido sensed that his Conqueror's Haki didn't suppress Buggy, he wasn't surprised but rather delighted, bursting into laughter:
"Wororororo."
"Nice momentum. You really have the power! But if that's not enough!"
"Boro Breath!!!"
Kaido, like a giant dragon in mythology, hovered and flew in the air, emanating an extremely powerful aura. As soon as he spoke, orange-red flames began to brew in his mouth.
"Snort!"
At that moment, Bullet, sitting on the second floor of the pyramid, snorted coldly and transformed into a bloody ray of light, soaring into the sky under the shocked gazes of everyone.
!!!
In an instant, a blood-colored dragon about the size of Kaido appeared in the sky!
They were almost identical except for their color!
Kaido had blue scales, black hair, and a pale blond belly.
Bullet had scarlet scales, golden hair, and golden belly scales, giving him an even more evil and domineering look!
Two giant dragons, one red and one blue, appeared above the sky, causing the previously vanished dark clouds to reappear out of thin air.
The scene was breathtaking!
"Boro Breath!!!"
After transforming into a dragon on Bullet's side, he ignored the shocked Kaido, who also opened his mouth without showing any weakness, brewing an orange flame in his mouth.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
In the next second, two beams of heat spanning several kilometers collided under the dark sky.
Bang!!!
A huge explosion resounded, and then the powerful aftermath of the explosion pressed toward Bullet.
Roar!!!
Bullet let out a roar, and the dragon's body shot up into the sky, avoiding the aftermath of the heat extinction. However, this aftermath did not diminish and fell directly on the sea surface.
Boom!
Another massive explosion sounded, splashing water nearly 100 meters high.
Clearly, Bullet was slightly inferior to Kaido this time.
But Kaido in the sky didn't care about this at all; even Buggy didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he looked at Bullet in the sky with a dragon face and said in shock:
"Buggy! Where the hell did you get this guy?"
"You, be my subordinate, I want you so much! As long as you are willing to let him join me, I can give you everything except One Piece."
"I can even give you copies of the historical texts leading to Raftel if you want them! If only you could get him to join me!"
After Kaido was shocked, he looked at Buggy excitedly, and his words left everyone astonished.
"Haha!" Hearing Kaido's words, Buggy couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Bullet and saying, "Kaido, are you out of your mind?"
"He was a member of the Roger Pirates. Even though that guy, Oden, was foolish, why did you use that despicable method to capture Wano, kill Oden, and still want to recruit Bullet?"
"Who do you look down on? Do you think that Whitebeard and the rest of us didn't seek revenge because we were afraid of you after you played Oden to death?"
"It's just that Oden's stupidity isn't worth it. It doesn't matter if he allowed his own country to be mistreated by him and only his citizens were killed."
"As pirates, we naturally won't interfere. But if you think you're truly domineering, stop being ridiculous! Kaido!? Who do you think you are?"
After being so unceremoniously ridiculed by Buggy, Kaido's dragon face turned ugly, and he shot a murderous glare at Buggy, shouting, "Hmph! Arrogance!!! Buggy, you know my character, yet you dare to speak like this. Aren't you worried that I will team up with the Marines to destroy your Buggy Pirates right here, right now?"
As soon as Kaido uttered those words, everyone watching the live broadcast gasped.
It must be admitted that Kaido's threat was ruthless enough. If he joined forces with an Admiral from the Marines, the Buggy Pirates would undoubtedly be at a significant disadvantage. Despite the strength and potential of Bullet and Enel, they still needed time to grow. Bullet had been locked up in Impel for too long, and Enel lacked extensive training and teaching.
The fact that they could hold their own against an Admiral was already a testament to their extraordinary Devil Fruit abilities. However, defeating an Admiral in a head-on fight seemed nearly impossible.
"A person who retreats in the face of the strong is utterly weak! A person who dares to confront challenges from the strong is a king above the strong!"
Buggy's expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold and resolute.
"On the path to becoming a king, there will be countless obstacles! If I lack the courage to face this, how could I dare to challenge the gods today? Kaido, you underestimate me!"
Hearing Buggy's response, Kaido couldn't help but be startled before breaking into laughter.
"Wororororo!"
"Very well! Since you're so confident, let me see how you handle the siege of so many of our powerful men! I'll tell you, in the face of absolute strength, all plans are mere talk! Sengoku, shall we attack?"
Hearing Kaido's words, Sengoku knew that they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation with both Kaido and Buggy present. However, teaming up with Kaido temporarily didn't seem like a bad idea.
As for the live stream, those who achieve greatness don't bother with petty details!
Once the Buggy Pirates were eliminated, the world's public opinion wouldn't be under the control of the World Government any longer!
Besides, the Five Elders had given clear instructions before they arrived - the Buggy Pirates must be destroyed at all costs!
That's why two top Admiral-level combatants, Green Bull, and Fujitora, had been dispatched.
With these thoughts in mind, Sengoku lowered his eyes and commanded:
"Fire! Destroy the Buggy Pirates!"
Whoosh, whoosh!
After Sengoku's command, three figures - one blue, one red, and one green - shot up into the sky behind him, heading straight for the Buggy Pirates.
"Roar!!!"
The blood dragon in the sky let out a deafening roar as his body rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a dragon-man form and soared through the air, directly targeting Aokiji.
In the next moment, to the astonishment of everyone, Bullet turned into a black and red streak of light, descending from the sky, and delivered a powerful punch to Aokiji, sending him crashing into the sea!
The sudden display of Bullet's even more terrifying power shook the world!
