Buggy D Clown

"How is this possible? This bastard has the stamina to still use that kind of move now?" Watching Buggy in the distance, Kaido slammed his hands together again. His pupils shrank violently, his face full of horror!

Not only Kaido but even the world's top powerhouses watching the battle around them were shocked.

"Wasn't he on the brink of death?"

"Impossible! How could his haki recover so fast?"

"Damn, what did this guy eat to train like this? Does he have enough haki to use this move again?"

Despite their shock, a dazzling white-gold light reappeared as Buggy slowly opened his hands!

Terrifying energy suddenly overflowed from within it.

"Kaido!!! Why are you just standing there? Do you want to die??" The woman beside Kaido saw that he was still in a daze and roared, raising Napoleon high in her hand.

She could withstand this move by herself, but if she faced it alone, she would be seriously injured, if not killed! As long as she and Kaido stay together, this move can't defeat them.

Besides, after expending so much haki before, the power of this move, The Nuclear Crush, can't possibly be stronger than the first time! The same goes for their Sea Supremacy.

Kaido snapped out of his daze at her cry and said with a solemn expression: "Linlin, we're in trouble this time!"

Hum!

Kaido's haki flared up, and countless blue and black lightning bolts crackled around the mace in his hand.

"Let's do it again! I can't believe this guy's haki has grown so much! Could Killing those idiots raise a person's Haki to this level?"

"Who knows! Let's get through this first!"

Linlin released a scarlet haki that soared into the sky, red and black lightning flashing around Napoleon in her hand. Veins bulged in her arm as she swung forward violently.

"Sea Supremacy!!!"

Chi chi chi chi!!!

Just like before, the terrifying power of their haki distorted the air between Sky and the sea, the magnificent red, orange, green, blue, purple, and glazed shockwave sweeping towards Buggy!

"Nuclear Crush."

With a calm voice resonating in his mind, Buggy raised his hand and gently pushed the white-gold ball of light, wrapped with purple-black lightning, forward.

Scoff!!!

The next moment, space distorted, and the haki violently transformed into a white-gold beam of light entwined with purple-black lightning, blasting towards the glass shockwave coming from the opposite direction!

Zizizi!

Just like before, Conqueror's lightning danced wildly, and the terrifying power spilled out, tearing apart the space where the two shockwaves intersected.

This time, the collision lasted less than two seconds before the half-platinum and half-blue light ball exploded into a dazzling ray of light stretching hundreds of miles away as if being crushed from above and below.

Boom boom boom!!!

The explosion echoed like thunderclaps in the sky above Onigashima.

No one noticed that before the explosion, the platinum shield around Buggy extended nearly two meters!

As the explosion's aftermath bombarded the shield, it gradually shrank inward.

If Kaido and Big Mom had seen this, they would have been utterly horrified, realizing they had been deceived!

Had they noticed that the first explosion had only shrunk Buggy's platinum shield by about half, they might have fled in terror.

At their level, from the Summit War to the Battle of Punk Hazard, plus Kaido's fights with Buggy, they could already gauge his strength.

They knew that as long as Buggy's shield could still extend a few meters, his haki was strong; otherwise, it was weak.

This analysis led them to be deceived by Buggy's deliberate display of weakness.

In their view, Buggy did not need to hide his strength. Acting clumsily while fighting two of the Four Emperors seemed like a death wish.

But Buggy did just that! He hid his strength to see if he could defeat the Four Emperors today! If outsiders knew Buggy's thoughts, they would be shocked by his audacity.

After all, his opponents were two of the Emperors, teaming up! In today's world, holding his own against such a duo is astonishing, but Buggy aims to defeat one.

The level of self-confidence required for this is immense!

However, for Buggy, if he hadn't even entertained the idea and attempted it, his haki wouldn't have grown so rapidly!

From Buggy's perspective, ever since he initiated "Killing Gods," his haki had been rising like the sea, reaching its peak during the liberation of Dressrosa.

At that time, he sensed that his Conqueror's Haki had already reached an advanced peak. He needed just one more opportunity for a breakthrough.

From then on, Buggy understood that the source of his haki growth was his invincible belief and momentum. If he lost this momentum, his haki might stagnate or even regress.

That's why Buggy had such crazy ideas! He wants to kill one of the Four Emperors!

With madness in his eyes, Buggy slammed his hands together again. Watching the rapidly shrinking platinum protective cover, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"Nuclear Crush!"

This move was another of Buggy's trump cards, devised specifically for this day! What if creating one energy ball isn't enough to kill an enemy? Then create another! The solution is as simple as that. In the next second, the expressions of those around him changed drastically!

As the strongest pirates, their observation haki was at least intermediate to high level. Soon, they sensed a terrifying wave of energy rising from the aftermath of the explosion that hadn't yet dissipated.

"It's Buggy's move again!"

"Unbelievable! Is this guy, Buggy, even human?"

"How can he use this technique three times in a row? Kaido and Big Mom are in real danger this time!"

"Are we about to witness the defeat of one of the Yonko today? And at the hands of another Yonko? This is Big News!"

"Just like the Godslayer! He will be the Emperor Slayer!"

All the powerful spectators were shocked and paralyzed by Buggy's audacious behavior. They could sense that Buggy had very little haki left and that his physical strength was barely enough to keep him in the air.

"Not good!!!"

"Damn it!"

The spectators felt the terrifying power, and naturally, Kaido and Big Mom did too. Their expressions changed drastically.

They hadn't expected Buggy to have the energy to unleash this devastating ultimate move for the third time!

Even if they could still use Ba Hai again by joining forces, it was too late.

Hakai required time to execute, and they were in a weakened state. Their haki had significantly diminished, and while their coordination was strong, both time and haki were needed for the longer forward swing required.

That's why they were so shocked and in disbelief. But this was precisely why Buggy could seize the opportunity! Since it took both of them to use the ultimate move Hakai, Buggy's ability to use his move alone was a significant advantage!

"This is your weakness! Even if you don't want to admit it just like Whitebeard you are getting old!!"

Buggy's voice echoed from the aftermath of the explosion, and they saw the platinum beam of light wrapped with purple-black lightning piercing through the remnants of the explosion, its haki energy cutting through it.

Although the white-gold beam of light entwined with purple-black lightning was smaller than before, the core of its terrifying power remained unchanged!

Scoff!

The terrifying platinum beam of light flashed and arrived in front of Kaido and Big Mom in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!" Big Mom roared in anger, realizing the platinum beam of light was headed straight for her. But she couldn't dodge it now!

"Bastard!!!"

A look of determination flashed in Big Mom's eyes. With a roar, her powerful armor haki instantly solidified around her body, making her already massive form appear covered in a thick layer of black armor.

Big Mom's idea was sound.

By using her armament haki and her terrifying defense known as the "Iron Ballon," she believed she could withstand the explosion within a certain range, even if it meant paying a significant price!

But Buggy's power isn't just about explosions.

His strength lies in the ability to split, smash, and penetrate!

Buggy anticipated Big Mom's defensive reaction.

This is why he didn't release his grip on [Nuclear Crush], maintaining its maximum smashing and penetrating power as it rushed directly toward Big Mom.

The white-gold beam of light, as thick as an ordinary person's body and wrapped in purple-black lightning, reached Big Mom in an instant.

!!!

Under Kaido's shocked gaze, blood splattered instantly!

A huge blood hole, 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter, was pierced through Big Mom's abdomen, directly penetrating her formidable defenses!

The terrifying power didn't stop there, grazing Kaido's right rib and taking away a large piece of flesh and blood, even though he was standing behind her in a daze!

In an instant, one of the Four Emperors was severely injured, while the other was slightly wounded!

At this moment, the world once again felt the strength of Buggy!

"Uh...hum!"

Big Mom gritted her steel teeth tightly to prevent blood from spilling from her mouth. Her face was twisted with pain, but without hesitation, she grabbed Zeus, who was by her side, and stuffed him into her mouth without a word.

Crunch!

"Mamma, Mamma!"

Zeus's mournful wail came from Big Mom's mouth, but before it stopped, she shoved Napoleon, the great sword in her right hand, into her mouth as well.

"Mom! No! Mom, it hurts so much!"

Click, click!!! The sound of chewing was interspersed with the screams of the two souls, Homies. Immediately, the bleeding from Big Mom's massive wound ceased, but the huge pierced wound in her abdomen couldn't heal quickly.

At this point, Prometheus, the flame cloud carrying Big Mom, trembled beneath her.

"Kaido! Run!!!" Having recovered slightly, Big Mom's pale face was full of fear. With her large, blood-stained hand, she grabbed Kaido's right arm and let out a low growl.

Roar!!!

Kaido needed no reminder. His body transformed into a huge dragon, soaring into the sky in a burst of purple light.

On top of the giant dragon's claws, Big Mom clung with an extremely pale complexion. Meanwhile, a large piece of dragon scale on Kaido's hind leg was bleeding profusely!

But Kaido couldn't worry about that now. They just wanted to escape! The feeling of impending death was something they hadn't experienced in decades.

As Buggy had said, they'd sat at the top for too long, becoming complacent and detached. Now, the instinct to survive was driving them to flee!

Their predicament was precisely what Buggy had anticipated. As they took off, Buggy also spiraled into the sky. However, he was in a dire state and couldn't match Kaido's speed.

But even this was part of Buggy's plan! Thinking several steps ahead was his strength!

"Blueno! Law! Mansherry!" As he took off, Buggy's commanding voice echoed in the sky.

Crunch!

Almost immediately, a door of space opened above, revealing Blueno, Law, and Mansherry.

"ROOM!!!"

Without hesitation, Law activated his ability, swapping the positions of Blueno and Buggy.

Of course, this was only possible because Buggy didn't resist. Even in his weakened state, his haki was formidable enough to prevent anyone from moving him against his will.

Mansherry was ready too. As Buggy swapped places with Blueno, she quickly gave him a small pot of healing dandelions.

"Ah!" Feeling the warm and comforting energy pouring into his body, Buggy groaned instinctively.

Then his face lit up with joy, and his body turned into a white light, shooting out from the space gate.

"Law, Mansherry, Blueno, well done!"

Buggy's voice echoed as he soared into the sky, while the terrifying spinnaker on the other side of the space gate still reverberated with his command.

Although Mansherry's [Healing Dandelion] could restore some of Buggy's stamina and Haki, it only lasted for 3 minutes. But that was enough for Buggy. He believed that even 3 minutes would suffice.

Both sides were now in an extremely weakened state, and those 3 minutes could change everything!

"Kaido! Big Mom! Become relics of the old era!!!!" Buggy's roar echoed through the sky, and his actions once again terrified Kaido and Big Mom!

"Impossible! Impossible! How did you recover so quickly? Damn it! Damn it!!!" Kaido was genuinely frightened.

Buggy's rapid recovery was terrifying; who was the real phantom beast here? Kaido was in disbelief!

"Shut up and run!" Big Mom, held in Kaido's dragon claw, weakly patted his claw and roared.

"Shut up, you old woman! We're trapped! Damn it!" 

Kaido knew they needed to flee, but he realized that Buggy's Haki had locked onto them, much like their [Hakai] once locked onto Buggy.

Above the sky, Buggy, now a white-gold light, rapidly approached Kaido and Big Mom. He suddenly stopped mid-air.

"Nuclear Fusion Crush!!!"

Buggy pulled his hands apart and launched a white-gold ball of light, wrapped in black lightning, towards the locked Kaido.

Everyone watching widened their eyes, holding their breaths in shock. Was a king about to fall today?

Hum!

Just as Buggy's attack shot toward Kaido, a water mirror suddenly appeared! Wild laughter emanated from it. "Zehahahaha! Godslayer Buggy, you are as powerful as a monster! Chasing and beating two of the Four Emperors? But I can't let you kill them like this! Otherwise, I'll be next. Zehahahaha! Now, enjoy my new power, Godslayer! Shattered!!!"
