Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 308: Stopping Big Mom

Big Mom Pirates have reached The Clown Pirates' current base island. The Clowns' subordinates pirate crews & Caribbean are trying to hold Big Mom Pirates. But if The Clown Pirates don't come soon, they will be done for.

Their opponents are Big Mom Pirates, after all, and Big Mom herself has come personally. No one there has enough power to handle Big Mom. Only Buggy can, so they all hope he comes fast before they die.

"Hold them back as long as you can, but don't die! Great Captain will come soon with the main crew," shouts a subordinate crew Captain.

"That's too much, Captain. Our opponent is Big Mom, you know," says a member while loading a cannon.

"I don't care if it's too much or not. If we can't get through this, we won't survive in New World anyway. So get your shit together and stay alive!" shouts the Captain.

They all try hard to attack Big Mom Pirates, but Big Mom's children can stop all their attacks pretty easily. It makes their morales drop slowly and many even think it will be their last day. But none of them even think of running away because they all believe that Buggy will come to save them.

Suddenly, one of Big Mom's ships explodes and then Katakuri spreads his mochi on the side of the next ship right when the 1st ship explodes. He covers the wide mochi with Armament Haki and then something hits it. The ship gets pushed and hits the ships beside it until they stop after moving some hundreds of meters.

Then, a big pointy bullet that has some lightning zaps on it falls to the sea from the mochi. Then everyone looks in the direction where the bullet came from. They all see The Black Pearl moving very fast toward them. Buggy answers his subordinates' expectations and comes right before they get too many casualties.

The Black Pearl arrives on the naval battlefield in just a minute even though it was quite far before. Everyone looks at the Black Pearl and the man standing on its head. A very displeased expression can be seen on Buggy's face right now as he looks at Big Mom on her main ship.

"It's been a long time, Big Mom," says Buggy.

Big Mom smirks and laughs, "Mammamamma~, you finally show up, brat from Roger Pirates. I have a business with you."

"So this is how you do business. No wonder it never blooms," says Buggy.

"Hah, I need to show my power, so that you'll agree to do this business," says Big Mom.

Buggy unsheaths one of his swords slowly and says, "I don't know about agreeing to the business proposal. But I'm sure won't agree to let you go after attacking my base and killing my men. I didn't get this position by negotiation," says Buggy while pointing his sword at Big Mom.

Big Mom grins and says, "You think defeating Kaido makes you so great, huh? I will think that you are great if you defeat the Kaido of 10 years later. But in my eyes, he is just your average strong pirate. He isn't that strong yet compared to me, not to mention that old man."

Buggy knows this very well, but that's why he targetted Kaido first. Not only Kaido would kill Oden and destroy Wano if he isn't stopped, he would be a more troublesome opponent as he grows stronger and reaches his peak power.

"So what? He was a good stepping stone for me. You too," says Buggy while raising his sword.

"Mammamamma~, you are one cheeky brat," says Big Mom as she transforms her hat into a sword, it's Napoleon.

Big Mom makes the first move and swings her sword diagonally toward Buggy. Buggy also swings his sword, but nothing comes out of it, while a big slashing energy comes out of Napoleon. Many people think that Buggy messes up, but the strong ones know that isn't possible, though they don't know what happens either.

Suddenly, Big Mom's slash attack clashes against an invisible force and creates a big explosion. The explosion causes the sea water on Big Mom's side to splash in her direction, while the water on Buggy's side shapes into many water cubes that spread in his direction. The seawater gets split into 2 parts by their clash.

Those who thought Buggy messed up are shocked now. They never thought that his attack would be invisible to naked eyes. Only those with good Observation Haki can sense the danger of Buggy's attack.

Big Mom's older children knew that Buggy was attacking properly. But they are still surprised by something else. They never thought that Buggy can match their mother's power. Sure, she hasn't gone all out, but none of them has the confidence to match that attack.

"I don't know what you did, but that was an interesting power," says Big Mom while still grinning.

Buggy doesn't say anything because he is thinking about something now. 'It seems my assumption is correct. I can't cut force, yet, that's why the slash attack can stop my cut. That means advanced Armament & Conqueror Haki can block my cut too.'

'I still have a long way to go, but I'll make sure I can cut force in the future. Then maybe I will be able to cut even time..... Well, that is very absurd, but maybe there's a way. This world is already ridiculous, after all, so anything ridiculous can happen here,' thinks Buggy.

"Should we continue, Killer Clown?" asks Big Mom while grinning.

"I don't really like that moniker, so stop calling me that," says Buggy as he unsheaths his other sword.

"I'll take that as a yes," says Big Mom as she jumps on a big cloud, it's Zeus.

Zeus has a very dark color now and he looks very menacing. Then Big Mom summons Prometheus and merges him with her hair before he lits Napoleon using Prometheus's fire.

"So that's the infamous Emperor Blade, Cognac. That sure looks good. Not sure about its power though," says Buggy as he sees Big Mom flies toward him on Zeus.

Buggy jumps out of the ship and shouts, "CLOWNS, ATTACK!"

The Clown Pirates grin as they proceed to move their ship toward Big Mom's fleet. As for Buggy, he is running in the air above the sea. This is an ability that he gets after he awakened his devil fruit, flight.

In the past, he needs to leave his feet on the ground to levitate. But now, he can fly freely up to 50 meters above the ground. The ground can be anything including water, but excluding air.

His limit was 20 meters at first, but it became 50 meters after the mastery of his awakened devil fruit increased. So he might be able to fly even higher in the future. But he knows he will hit the limit soon because his devil fruit's ability isn't flying, that's Shiki's fruit.

His flight ability is also slow though because its true nature is levitation, not flight. But he can move faster by 'running' which makes it looks like Marine's Geppo. It's far easier to use than Geppo though and faster.

Buggy & Big Mom meet in the middle and both of them coat their swords with Armament Haki. Big Mom swings her flaming sword down vertically. Buggy now uses both of his swords by swinging them diagonally in a different direction to create an X attack.

*BOOM* *CRACKLE CRACKLE*

Their attacks meet, but their swords aren't touching each other because they use advanced Armament & Conqueror Haki. The clash creates a great explosion and shockwave that pushes a lot of seawater away.

Black lightning strikes also appear in the sky as the clouds get darker. The clash of their Conqueror Haki is very strong that the black lightning strikes cover the sky at the size of a big island. It can even be seen from the nearby islands and the Marine fleet that come to prevent the war from afar can even feel it as some Marine soldiers faint.

"Damn, we are too late. Both of them have started fighting," says Garp who was sent along with Aokiji & Dalmatian.

"What should we do, Garp-san?" asks Aokiji.

"We will just watch from afar while getting ready to move anytime. There's no way we can intrude on this scale of war. They will gang up on us, which will put us at a big disadvantage. Luckily, the war happens on the sea, so the nearby islands will be safe, hopefully," says Garp.

"Just how did those Clowns reach this place so fast? They were just on East Blue yesterday," says Dalmatian.

"We can worry about that later, let's focus for now. Get ready to move anytime," says Garp.

The Marine can't do anything about the current situation. So they can only watch from afar and prevent bigger destruction.
