Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 142: Yellow Monkey

Chapter 142: Yellow Monkey

Buggy look at the island with his binocular and curses. It makes his crew curious and they ask about it.

"Kizaru is there," says Buggy while giving the binocular to Cricket.

"What!? Do you mean Vice-Admiral Borsalino? Isn't he one of the strongest candidates to be the next Admiral?" asks Deon surprisedly.

The others are surprised to hear that because it means that Kizaru is very strong.

"Yeah, but that won't happen soon. Kong is still strong, so the Fleet Admiral position won't change soon. That means the positions under him also won't change much. Besides, only Sengoku & Garp can suppress the Strongest Man in the world now."

"So Sengoku who is an Admiral can't be the Fleet Admiral now because that means he needs to be in the office every time. It will make Garp the only one who can move anytime to stop Whitebeard. Kizaru & the others aren't ready to face the prime Whitebeard. Not to mention there is Big Mom too now," says Buggy.

"But that doesn't mean that Kizaru is weak, right?" asks Cricket.

Buggy nods and says, "He climbed to the Vice-Admiral rank very fast after he entered Marine. All of that is because of his strength and his devil fruit. He ate a Logia Devil Fruit, Glint Glint Fruit. He is a Light human and can be said to be the fastest man in the world."

"Logia, huh? Very interesting," says Enel while grinning.

"Don't even think about it. You're out of his league now," says Buggy.

"Come on, can you give me hope at least?" asks Enel.

"No, you will only meet your death if you try to fight him. Even you should've realized it using your Mantra that already has a wider range than mine," says Buggy seriously.

Enel clicks his tongue and grumbles, making the others laugh. Just like what Buggy said, Enel has the widest range of his Mantra or Observation Haki among the Clowns now. Buggy has told him to merge his ability with Mantra and Enel has succeeded to do it now.

However, Buggy still has the strongest and most accurate Observation Haki in the crew. It's not all about range, but also precision and accuracy at sensing the enemy's power. It's quality above quantity for Buggy.

The Clowns' laugh disappears soon as they get closer to the island. Kizaru has also realized their presence and wait on the island. There's nowhere to go except this island, so he just needs to wait there.

The Clowns get closer to the island and now Kizaru's unit has entered Buggy's Observation Hali's range. He senses the unit's strength to give his crew their tasks. Cricket also keeps looking at the Marine unit with the binocular.

"Captain," calls Cricket seriously.

"I know, they're here for us. Their unit's compositions are too good for a coincidence," says Buggy.

"They've tracked us from Vira and wait for us on the next island, huh? Marine's intelligence is very troublesome," says Mantis grumbly.

"Who should we fight, Captain?" asks Palu

"Without any question, I will fight Kizaru, and none of you should disturb me. Cricket, you fight that tall guy who wields a katana. He is strong and has the potential to be Vice-Admiral like Strawberry," says Buggy.

"Yeah, I know him. Rear Admiral Momonga, a very skilled swordsman with many achievements," says Cricket seriously.

"It's good that you know him. I don't need to explain anything. Palu, you fight that dog masked dude, Rear Admiral Dalmatian. Mantis, you take care of that woman who wields an axe, Commodore Jasmine. Enel, Jude, and Manba go take care of the Captains. Ruff will stay on the ship while providing support," says Buggy.

They all nod, but then Deon asks, "What about me?"

"I have a special task for you," says Buggy before he whispers something to Deon.

Deon nods and agrees before getting inside the ship's cabin. The others don't know what Buggy wants Deon to do. But they don't mind it because they know Buggy must have a plan and they need to believe it.

"Alright, this will be our hardest battle since we started. Well, the thing with Garp isn't counted. That's not even a battle, but a one-sided beating," says Buggy.

The ones who know it have bitter smiles and make Enel & Ruff who don't know it confused. Buggy tells them to leave it and focus on their current problem.

Kizaru is a very strong opponent and Buggy knows it will be a difficult battle. The Marine must have gotten very serious about stopping them after raising their bounties.

After Strawberry's defeat, the Marine realized that Rear Admiral isn't enough to stop Buggy. They got even sure after Buggy defeated an ex-Rear Admiral, Brist.

They've also realized The Clown's power after that confrontation, after all. The Clowns have defeated a big slave-trading group and a pirate crew from New World at once, after all. So their power can't be looked down on.

That's why The Marine sent Kizaru and 2 Rear Admirals just to face a small pirate crew like The Clown Pirates. They also sent 5 high-ranked officers and 230 soldiers. Their sheer number will make other pirate crews tremble in fear, but not The Clown.

The Clowns arrived on the island after some minutes and they get down from the ship. Only Ruff & Deon aren't there because they have their tasks. Momonga is confused, but he let it be as their priority is Buggy, the Captain.

"Ooh~, so you are Buggy The Clown. You really have a big red nose," says Kizaru with his usual lazy & slow tone.

"Yeah, and you must be Kizaru, the slow-talking Light human. You are fast but also slow at the same time," says Buggy while smirking.

"Hmm, you aren't getting angry and provoked, huh? This is quite problematic," says Kizaru.

"If I still getting angry by such insult after all these years, then I would have died somewhere before reaching this place," says Buggy.

"That makes sense. But it seems you will really die now," says Kizaru.

"Hah, you are fast, and it is too fast for you to think you can kill me, Kizaru. But maybe it's your best chance. If you failed to kill me now, then you won't have another chance in the future," says Buggy smugly.

Kizaru is confused, so Momonga explains it to him, "He implies that he will grow much stronger than now and you won't be able to chase his growth."

"Ooh, what high confidence. Your disappointment will be too big if you dream too high," says Kizaru.

"Don't worry, I'm not the one who will get disappointed," says Buggy while grinning.

"Really? Then let's prove it. Men, attack!" orders Kizaru, still with his slow lazy tone.

The Marine soldiers withdraw their weapons and rush to the Clowns. The Clowns also get ready to fight, but Buggy stops them.

"Don't waste your energy on these dudes," says Buggy as he takes a step forward.

The Clowns know what Buggy will do, but the Marines aren't, so they're rather confused. As the soldiers get closer to him, Buggy finally releases his Conqueror Haki. He targets all 230 soldiers and makes them all faint.

The Marine officers are surprised to see it because they still don't know that Buggy has Conqueror Haki. Quite strange considering they have interrogated the Slave Traders. Buggy has used his Conqueror Haki on them, after all.

"Conqueror Haki, he has the qualification to be a 'King', huh? This is getting more problematic," says Kizaru rather seriously.
