Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, has no goodwill towards these kings of the underground dark world. Like Doflamingo, they are enemies of the Navy. Unfortunately, many of these people are dogs raised by the World Government, and the Navy cannot strike hard to eliminate them.
"You let Sakazuki kill that guy?"
Lieutenant General Garp sat next to Tsuru, his mouth still stuffed with senbei (rice crackers). These were all the food that Fleet Admiral Sengoku had kept. This big glutton had long since eaten up his entire salary.
"The message in the sky said he wanted to see Barrett, but it didn't specify his purpose. We absolutely cannot let Bucky the Clown enter Impel Down. It's just another Paramecia-type Devil Fruit in the ocean; newcomers won't make a difference."
The degree to which a Devil Fruit is developed varies from person to person, resulting in different individual strengths. The reason Impel Down imprisons so many pirates is to delay the appearance of Devil Fruits at sea, minimizing the number of Devil Fruit users and giving the Navy some breathing room.
But Buggy the Clown is different. After confirmation from the intelligence department, this man is indeed a crew member of the former Pirate King Roger's ship. Most of the people on this ship have retired and disappeared. The only one active in the Navy's sight is Shanks.
The sudden appearance of another member of the Pirate King's crew has drawn the attention of the World Government and the Navy. The four Emperors of the Grand Line have formed a delicate balance, and if there were another Emperor, who knows what kind of chaos it would become...
Chapter 15 Exposed
Morgans, that scoundrel, caught the navy completely off guard. Most of the navy in Loguetown had withdrawn, leaving very few people to arrest his reporters. Cut off one signal and another would come, like cockroaches, one after another.
Even Admiral Akainu was criticized by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who urged him to cut off the video signal. This was not only his order but also an order from the World Government.
Because the number of viewers for this live stream has surpassed that of any song and dance party at sea, anyone who has the ability to receive the video signal has put down what they are doing to watch a Marine Admiral fight against a former crew member of the Pirate King. Most people hope that the Marines will win, while some pirates would rather see the Marines suffer a defeat.
"Marshal Sengoku, as long as I personally kill Bucky the Joker during the live stream, everything else will be fine."
The execution of a former crew member of the Pirate King on the spot during a live broadcast—who was also a friend of Shanks, one of the Emperors of the Sea—was intended to demonstrate the strength of the Navy and deter those petty villains.
"Akainu, I believe in your strength. Don't let me down this time."
Sakazuki hung up on the Fleet Admiral's Den Den Mushi. The Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit gave him absolute confidence. Even if it meant destroying the entire Loguetown, he was determined to kill Buggy the Clown today.
"Since he's still in prison, let him take a bath with the lava first."
"Dogs Gnawing on Red Lotus"
Salzki's right arm, which was in a state of magma, suddenly came to life. A fire hound made of magma charged toward the Loguetown Marine Branch Prison with its master's absolute will. If the opponent couldn't even withstand this move, then let it turn to ashes along with the magma.
The Buggy the Clown Pirates witnessed a scene of despair in the prison: magma, radiating terrifying heat, instantly slammed against the prison walls, yet the solid rocks outside could only withstand the lava for a few seconds.
"The lava is flowing in! Oh God, I don't want to die!"
"My leg, my leg is gone!" Lava rushed into the prison, allowing the pirates at the front to experience firsthand the passion from the Marine Admiral.
Even Zoan-type Devil Fruits fear magma, so a group of the lowest-ranking pirates had no choice but to crammed together in the deepest part of the prison. What made them even more desperate was that the magma seemed endless, constantly seeping from the ceiling.
The members of the Clown Pirates crowded around Buggy, each one crying and pleading, "Captain Buggy, please stop playing around! If you don't intervene, we're all going to die!"
Alberta was handcuffed with sea stone, and the woman was too weak to move. She was questioning her life. If she hadn't allied with Bucky back then, would things have turned out this way?
Now that things have come to this, Bucky the Joker can't keep up the act anymore. He never expected that his dream of finding the great treasure would end here today. He hasn't even gotten revenge on Shanks yet. "What bad luck! What did I ever do to Skyfall that you're playing me like this?"
Amid cries of despair, the scorching lava completely engulfed everything. This was the scene that all the marines witnessed. As expected, the admiral's actions revealed his true power; this terrifying force was like a natural disaster.
Smoker lit a cigar and took a deep drag. "As expected, trash is trash. Pirates all deserve to die."
As for the Admiral's destruction of the Marine branch prison, he can just ask the World Government for reimbursement. It'll all come out of the Marine budget anyway. Before he leaves, he can even build a new prison for Loguetown. It's a win-win situation.
Sakazuki stopped supplying magma. This strict general wouldn't open champagne halfway through the game. He activated his Observation Haki to search for any stragglers, not even sparing the branch's underground area.
Akainu's expression suddenly turned serious, and he shouted, "All Marines, prepare for the attack!"
Just moments ago, the prison was engulfed in lava, but now a cutting sound was heard. Not only were the walls and the ground being torn apart, but even the lava itself was being shattered. A man's voice came from inside: "Marshal Sengoku really gave me face by sending a naval admiral to kill me. Am I really that valuable?"
A powerful surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from directly in front, scattering the clouds across the sky, cracking the walls of naval buildings, and whipping up waves on the sea as it swept away the dust.
Some of the Marines who had just learned Haki, although able to resist the instant kill effect of Conqueror's Haki, were severely shocked both mentally and physically. Some unlucky ones were even pushed into the sea. Buggy the Clown actually possessed such powerful Conqueror's Haki. The fact that he could endure until now makes him a truly terrifying enemy.
Although Marine Captain Smoker did not possess dual-color Haki at this moment, his advantage lay in being a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. He was not knocked unconscious on the spot by the clown's Conqueror's Haki, and he had already put away his contemptuous expression. "How is this possible? I clearly captured him with my own hands."
The Clown Pirates have made their official debut. A tall, red-nosed man stands at the very front of the group like a god, followed by a group of subordinates with tears in their eyes. Captain Buggy is indeed invincible!
"Can't your navy just follow the script? Sending me to Impel Down would have been a win-win situation for everyone, but you always have to sabotage my plans."
Bucky the Joker wore a smile, but his eyes were filled with overwhelming murderous intent; another soul within him had completely merged into the role.
The sharp-eyed Smoker noticed something: "He still has Seastone on him, so why can he still use his Devil Fruit powers?"
Seastone and seawater are the natural enemies of Devil Fruit users. If they come into contact with it, they will lose their Devil Fruit abilities. There has never been a second case like this. However, the splitting power just now definitely came from a Devil Fruit. Buggy the Clown was an exception.
"Future general, don't be surprised. Seastone and seawater have no effect on me. Just wait and see."
Bucky grabbed the seastone shackles around his neck with one hand. The seastone, which had never been broken before, shattered into a pile of fragments in his hand in an instant. The handcuffs and leg irons received the same treatment. The myth of the seastone's invincibility was shattered today!
"How could a demon from the world possibly fear some broken stones and that light, drifting seawater?"
When Sakazuki came to reinforce from headquarters, he brought a batch of high-purity seastone handcuffs. Judging from the current scene, they are no longer needed today. They are not afraid of seawater or seastone. This kind of Devil Fruit user is the first of its kind to appear in the entire history.
"This is the power of your Devil Fruit unleashed?"
"Really? I've never heard of that name before," Bucky the Clown said with a puzzled look, as if he knew nothing and was hearing about it for the first time.
The sky has already exposed Buggy the Clown's abilities. Pretending to be stupid at this point would be an insult to the Navy's intelligence. For all Devil Fruit users, the release of Devil Fruits not only opens up a bright future, but also gives them unlimited potential.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, then I'll help you remember."
Sakazuki poured magma into his hands, creating "Meteor Volcano".
Dozens of magma fists rained down from the sky, a terrifying scene of natural disaster that shocked every viewer watching the live broadcast...
Chapter 16 Fierce Fight
The fact that such a powerful Conqueror's Haki was unleashed meant that there were many discerning individuals in the One Piece world who recognized its value. Although in the latter half of the New World, pirates with Conqueror's Haki were as numerous as fish in a river.
But this statement is actually too exaggerated. There are only a handful of people who possess top-tier Conqueror's Haki, and Edward Newgate and Shanks are two of them.
"I never expected this kid to have come this far. The Conqueror's Haki that Buggy just released is no less than Shanks's." Whitebeard never thought he would misjudge someone. You can't underestimate anyone who has followed Roger.
"His performance also surprised me. A Devil Fruit user who is not afraid of seawater or Seastone. I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." Shanks felt that the red-nosed Buggy in the live broadcast was somewhat unfamiliar to him. He had known him for so many years, but he had never seen his unruly side.
Most of the members of Roger's crew did not eat Devil Fruits. Top-tier fighters do not want to create a weakness for themselves. Shanks inherited and carried forward this idea, and there were very few Devil Fruit users on his ship.
But now someone is telling you that eating Devil Fruits has no side effects. Even a strongman like Shanks is tempted to find a suitable Devil Fruit to enhance his strength, which would have a synergistic effect.
"Next time I have the chance, I'll invite him aboard for drinks. I wonder if that kid would want to be my son, haha."
Shanks couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Whitebeard's words. This old guy really dared to think that not everyone lacked fatherly love like Roger's son. Maybe he had too much to drink.
The battle between Buggy the Clown and Admiral Akainu continues.
"Lord Buggy, you've grown so tall! Your whole demeanor has changed."
"You're really amazing, even lava can't do anything to you."
Alberta was still a little arrogant. Just now, Bucky the Clown helped her break the sea stone handcuffs that were holding her hands together. "Captain Bucky, if you had come out any later, the lava would have soaked my skin."
Bucky's height has now reached 4.2 meters. His original clothes were too small and were torn, but this did not affect his image. Instead, it revealed his muscular body and even changed his smile and makeup, making him look more like the futuristic image in the sky.
"The main problem is that you guys are all too useless. If I don't come out and help, everyone will die in that prison."
As a magma fist flew down from the sky, Buggy raised his right hand in mid-air, activating his Devil Fruit ability, "Split Web."
An invisible, intangible net hung over the Buggy Pirates. When the magma fist generated by Meteor Volcano struck, the magma, exceeding a thousand degrees, was shattered into pieces, splitting and destroying itself at the microscopic atomic level, turning into harmless smoke and dust that dissipated into the air.
Sakazuki witnessed the entire process and ordered the naval warships to proceed according to the original plan: "Gunners, prepare to fire!"
Hundreds of cannons fired simultaneously at the Navy's position, the booming sound of cannons followed by bursts of exploding shells aimed at the Joker Pirates. Not every shot hit its target, but as long as they could wear down Buggy's stamina, these shells were worthwhile.
Right now, apart from Captain Buggy, the rest of the Joker Pirates are no threat. They simply cannot withstand the bombardment of multiple Navy warships, and in the end, they will need their captain's protection.
"Admiral Akainu's sabotage of the Marine branch will displease Fleet Admiral Sengoku afterwards."
The first few shells landed quite far, but after the range was adjusted, they were able to reach Buggy the Clown. These naval gunners are very good at math; the basic education of the navy is much better than that of the pirates.
"Multi-faceted division"
The hundreds of shells that flew in were sliced into countless tiny points in mid-air without exploding, turning into fragments that fell to the ground.
Boom boom boom... Another round of artillery fire descended, and Buggy unleashed another multi-dimensional split. This kind of war of attrition is not a solution. Who knows how many shells this magma dog brought? Being bombarded by the Navy on one side is too disgraceful for pirates.
"I wonder how much a single naval warship costs," Bucky the Joker said. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the navy's sight. He was so fast that in less than two seconds, he was less than five meters away from the naval formation.
"Split Cannon"
Buggy compressed the Devil Fruit's splitting ability to the extreme into a space the size of two fists. This had one advantage: it allowed the splitting ability to reach its target more quickly.
"I won't let you succeed, Ghost Hound."
Admiral Akainu rushed in front of Buggy first, his arm transforming into scorching magma, colliding with the Joker's attack.
The splitting ability and the endless flow of magma were evenly matched for a moment. The opponent's basic attack and ultimate move were too abnormal. Sakazuki used Hades with both arms to forcibly cancel out Bucky the Clown's unbelievable disintegration ability.
The clash between the Split Cannon and the Demon Dog eventually turned into a contest of Armament Haki, with their thick, black fists clashing together, each strike producing a metallic clang.
Sakazuki realized he had underestimated Buggy the Clown. A man who had unlocked the power of his Devil Fruit to this extent was also excellent in physical combat. He couldn't gain an advantage in Observation Haki either. In a brief exchange of more than ten rounds, he couldn't defeat this pirate.
"I'm absolutely going to keep you in Loguetown, big fire!"
A massive amount of magma, like a volcanic eruption, burst forth from Admiral Akainu's right fist. The temperature, exceeding a thousand degrees, seemed capable of melting everything, instantly engulfing the area directly in front of Buggy the Clown.
"You really underestimated me, the world divider."
Like the lava erupting from a small volcano, the power of the Splitting Devil Fruit couldn't even touch Buggy's clothes. It was split into hundreds of small streams of lava, dispersing and disintegrating in front of the pirate, losing its original offensive power.
Sakazuki has been eating the Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered an ability that can break down magma. The strong opponents he had fought before all chose to use Armament Haki to withstand it. This is the first time he has realized the extent to which a Devil Fruit can be developed, which truly determines the upper limit of a person's strength.
Former Admiral Zephyr said that current Admiral Kizaru relies too much on Devil Fruit abilities, but now it seems that he is not entirely right. Is the era of Haki coming to an end?
"Sakazuki, let me show you the techniques of Conqueror's Haki."
