Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 72: All-Out War



Chapter 72: All-Out War

Buggy & Squard keep clashing with their swordsmanship. Buggy moves faster and attack more than Squard. But Squard can defend and sometimes he attacks Buggy with big attacks.

None of them get noticeable injury except Squard who flung and crashed to the trees before. But he is not injured badly because he protected his body with armament haki when he crashed.

They keep clashing until suddenly Squard attacks with his normal-sized katana. He unsheaths his normal katana with his left hand and strikes Buggy with it. Buggy doesn't see it coming and gets his neck being cut by the katana.

Squard smirks and so are his crewmates. The natives get surprised and they get alerted. They immediately raise their spears and get ready to attack, but Buggy's crewmates stop them.

"Why're you stopping us? Your friend is being killed there, you should get ready to fight too," says Nhiba panicky.

"Calm down, Captain is okay," says Cricket.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE IS OKAY? HIS HEAD IS BEING CUT OFF," shouts Nhiba.

"Just look at him carefully, no blood is coming out from his neck, right?" asks Cricket.

The natives look at Buggy and there's no blood at all from his cut neck. Squard & his crew also realize this and they are the ones who get alerted now.

"Tsk, Devil Fruit user," says Squard while clicking his tongue.

"Oi oi, don't talk like that. Whitebeard is also a devil fruit user," says Buggy while his head is floating in the air.

Just now, Squard didn't use his haki on his normal katana because he want to attack Buggy fast enough. But that made his sword attack useless on Buggy.

Well, even if he used haki, it would still be useless. Buggy has trained his reflexes to be so fast that he can split his body reflexively when being attacked. That training is his attempt to awaken his devil fruit faster.

It can also train his observation haki, so he hoped it will make his observation haki develop faster, and it works. His observation haki grew faster than his armament haki in the last 2 years. It's not perfect yet, but it keeps progressing.

Buggy put his head back on his body and says, "You're very sneaky, Squard. Using an underhanded tactic in a duel."

"Hmph, a duel of pirates is not sacral. We didn't choose to fight as swordsmen, so this is a pirate fight. Besides, your previous big attack isn't swordsmanship. So what I did wasn't wrong," says Squard.

"Oops, I've been found out. But you're right, a duel of pirates doesn't have a rule. So I will use this now," says Buggy while grinning.

Buggy split his wrists and spin his swords on his hands. Then he uses the spinning swords to attack Squard. Buggy's attack surprised Squard and he uses both of his katana to defend Buggy's attack.

Buggy then rushes to Squard and sends a kick at Squard's stomach. The kick doesn't hit because Squard blocks it with his big katana. But that makes Castor on Buggy's left hand free and it spins toward Squard.

Castor almost slashes Squard's head, but someone stops it. Buggy's attack is stopped by Squard's Vice-Captain who uses a cutlass. He blocks the sword to save Squard, but it violates the duel.

"Richard!" says Squard in surprise.

"Sorry, Captain. But I can't let you die even if it violates your duel again. You can get mad at me, but you need to live first," says Richard, the Vice-Captain.

Squard grits his teeth because the same thing as the past happens again. Squard looks at Buggy who is grinning, so he clicks his tongue.

Buggy grins seeing what happens and says to his crewmates, "ATTACK! THIS IS AN ALL-OUT WAR NOW."

"YEAH!" shouts the Clown Pirates while getting ready to fight.

The natives also raise their weapons and get ready to join the battle. Spider Maelstorm Pirates also draw their weapons to fight. Everyone is ready for an all-out war now.

Richard takes Squard back and Buggy lets them leave. Squard looks at his crew with a bitter expression, but then he looks serious. What happened has happened, he needs to move on and think of the best for his crew.

"It has become like this, so we don't have any choice. Let's go all out!" says Squard to his crew.

"YEAH!" yells Squard's crewmates.

Both sides get ready for battle and a moment later, each Captain gives their order, "ATTACK!"

Both sides move to attack each other with their weapons. Some of Squard's crewmates shoot their guns and the natives shoot their spear bazooka. The main members of both sides run forward to fight at close range.

Buggy clash with Squard again, Cricket face Richard, Mantis face a man who wields a hammer, while Jude faces a girl who wields a staff. The natives are facing the other pirates using their spears and bazookas.

Now both crews go all out and use all their power & abilities. Buggy also starts using his devil fruit along with his swords' devil fruits. He can be said to be a 3 devil fruits user now.

Buggy uses his favorite attack, the spinning swords to attack Squard. He activates Castor's & Pollux's devil fruits too.

Castor's hardening ability make Squard's swords wheeze. While Pollux's pressure makes Squard move back because of the pressure.

Buggy also keeps attacking Squard with his elbows and kicks. It made Squard feels overwhelmed and he can only defend Buggy's attacks.

Squard's crewmates want to help him, but the Clowns & natives are not weak so they can't help Squard. Squard's crew is strong, as they are New World Pirates.

But Buggy has trained his crew to be strong and now they're at Grandline's level. The battle with Happo Navy also made them stronger and they won't lose to Squard's crew.

Squard's crew is also not very strong now as even Squard only has 110 million bounty even when he has sailed in New World. It proves that his threat is really low and so is his power for New World standard.

Even Luffy already has a bounty of 300 million before he reaches Sabaody. Sure, a bounty doesn't represent strength, but the threat to WG. Even so, weak pirates won't get high bounty that easily.

Buggy keeps pushing Squard, but Squard is very resilient. Squard can defend Buggy's attack using his swords and armament haki. He uses his swords to defend Buggy's swords and he covers his body with haki to defend Buggy's elbows & kicks.

Buggy then controls his swords to attack Squard from below. Squard defends with his swords, but it makes his swords fling up and so are his hands.

Buggy uses this chance and detaches his arms. He throws his arms to Squard's arms and locks it up. Then Buggy controls both his swords to strike Squard's body.

*SWISH SLASH*

"GAHK!" Squard gets slashed and a deep X wound appears on his torso.

Blood gushes out from Squard's wounds and he spits some blood. Buggy hasn't finished and he kicks Squard's body with a haki covered foot.

Buggy kick as hard as he can and it makes Squard fling away and crashes to the ground. Squard loses grip of his swords and he rolls on the ground.

"CAPTAIN!" yells Squard's crewmates.

Squard's wounds are deep, especially the one inflicted by Pollux. Buggy has used Pollux's ability and it makes a deep wound on Squard's body. Even Squard's haki can't defend it and he is done.

Buggy jumps to Squard and revert his body to normal. Then Buggy raises Pollux to the sky and charges its power, ready to slash Squard's neck.

Squard's crewmates yell at Buggy to stop and try to run at him, but Buggy's crewmates stop them. Jude spread her ash to grab them and stop their track.

"STOP IT! AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF WHITEBEARD'S ANGER?" shouts Richard, he tries to stop Buggy.

"If that old man comes after me, he will get the same fate. I, Buggy, don't fear anyone even Gods on Mary Geoise. If Whitebeard comes to avenge his fool son, then let him come. I will entertain him and tell him to educate his sons correctly," says Buggy with an overwhelming tone.

Everyone's heart trembles hearing that and they are rooted in their place. What they hear from Buggy isn't arrogance, it's pride and pure belief.

Buggy swings his sword down, but suddenly, a voice is heard from a denden mushi, "Gurarara, you've became stronger, Red Nose brat."

Buggy stops his sword right on Squard's neck. looks at the denden mushi that is held by a chore boy from Squard's ship and says, "Whitebeard."
