Buggy VS Donquixote Doflamingo
"Justice will prevail..." Buggy repeated, then shrugged and said, "Stop with the boring stuff, let's talk about something more interesting, Donquixote Doflamingo..."
"Oh...?" Donquixote Doflamingo said with interest, "You want to cooperate with me? [A crew member of the Pirate King], that's quite a gimmick. I'll consider it, fufufufu--"
"Sorry, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..." Buggy smiled insincerely, "Could you take off your glasses so I can see what you really look like?"
"You bastard! You tricked me!!" Donquixote Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, and his right hand bent like a beast's claw, "Five Color Strings!!"
Five almost transparent, thin threads, like extremely thin blades, slashed towards Buggy.
"Tempest Kick. Ten Thousand Ants!" Buggy raised his right foot, which instantly dissipated into countless dust particles just before unleashing the Tempest Kick. Instantly, a dense array of ant-sized slashing air currents, emitted from a single point, enveloped the area and collided with five thin, thread-like strands in a flash!
The impact caused the Five Color Strings to suddenly turn into ordinary lines, but nearly half of the slashing airflow was also canceled out, leaving only a portion to continue rushing forward.
Donquixote Doflamingo was no longer in the same spot. He used his threads to bind the clouds in the sky and moved at high speed, appearing behind Buggy in an instant. His right foot pressed down sharply on Buggy.
Buggy quickly turned and defended, crossing his arms to block Donquixote Doflamingo's solid kick. Although the ice he was standing on sank ten centimeters, he remained calm and composed. "Molotov... you've clearly misunderstood something, haven't you? And you're blaming me? Isn't that a bit much?"
"Fufufufu--" Donquixote Doflamingo chuckled darkly, "Now, your face looks rather repulsive..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he used the force of his right foot pressing down to flip backward, and then swung his "Athlete" downward. Eight threads that could cut an ordinary person missed their target, instead tearing deep cracks in the empty ice layer!
"Shigan. Black Trident!!"
Suddenly appearing beside Donquixote Doflamingo, Buggy's index finger split into three even more powerful spearheads, which, imbued with intimidating Haki, thrust towards him!
Donquixote Doflamingo, without yielding an inch, pointed his palm at Buggy, and suddenly a short, thick, yet incredibly agile line slashed down from his palm. "Overheat!"
The ice layer that was struck immediately cracked open, creating a trench nearly ten centimeters wide that extended for more than ten meters. Buggy narrowly avoided danger by dodging the wind, and his Shigan rained down on Donquixote Doflamingo like a storm of bullets, which the latter calmly blocked one by one.
Buggy's movements and speed were incredibly fast, with virtually no hesitation, and his control of the rhythm was practically perfect. However, Donquixote Doflamingo was equally decisive and ruthless. Although both sides were consciously holding back their strength, this intense battle still attracted a lot of attention.
Vice Admiral Momonga, who was fighting in the port on the right, cleaved through a pirate and glanced back. "... I didn't expect Donquixote Doflamingo to actually help us. This is not like him at all..."
"The Shichibukai are all just putting on an act..." Onigumo, standing next to Momonga, warned, "Momonga, don't trust them too much!"
The pirates under Whitebeard Pirates also started shouting, "Buggy the Clown, well done! You took down a Shichibukai in one fell swoop!!"
"Hehehe, let's start fighting like this!" Gecko Moria laughed, revealing his sharp teeth.
"That man is quite strong..." Boa Hancock frowned as she gazed into the distance. "No wonder he's one of the Shichibukai, just like me."
Several pirates who had seized the opportunity to ambush Boa Hancock launched long-range cannonballs, shouting, "If you only pay attention to that side, you'll be dead!"
"Slave Arrow!" Boa Hancock lightly touched her lips with her finger, then conjured a pink heart-shaped substance that stretched backward like a bow and arrow, instantly firing countless arrows at the pirates who had ambushed her and the cannonballs in the air.
Whether it was cannonballs or pirates, once hit by the arrows, they all turned into stone!
Even pirates who were rapidly approaching were petrified and shattered when hit by Boa Hancock's Perfume Femur, and even the surrounding marines were hit by indiscriminate attacks.
The surrounding navy personnel exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually attacked the navy too!"
"Although I agreed to fight [Whitebeard], I didn't say I would become your ally. I've never distinguished between friend and foe when it comes to men, except for that one person, so—I hope you can keep your promise." Boa Hancock's face flushed with a shy blush. "Just for the sake of my beauty."
"What...!!"
At the same time.
"Roger was no good. Even in death, he continued to bring trouble after trouble. First Red-Haired Shanks, then Buggy the Clown..." Sengoku, standing on the Execution Platform overseeing the entire Sengoku, calmly watched the fierce battle between Buggy and Donquixote Doflamingo, without mentioning Ace. "Garp, you fought him so many times back then... you should understand this well."
Garp, already seated on the Execution Platform, stood with his arms crossed, his face somber. "... Pirates have always been evil, I understand that... But even an opponent has many attractive qualities, and it is precisely these qualities that have created this terrible era... I am a Marine, I know how heinous and unforgivable he is..."
"It's fortunate that you can still clearly understand these things. You should understand the significance of being here... There's no turning back now!"
"I know." Garp said those two words, then glanced slightly at Ace before falling silent. Torn between his duty as a Marine and his responsibility to his family, he had considered choosing... but how could he choose?
Returning to the ongoing battle between Buggy and Donquixote Doflamingo, the two seemed to realize something, exchanging a quick blow before retreating. Donquixote Doflamingo grinned darkly, "Fufufufu--Another newcomer, huh? That guy's the latest 'problematic newcomer'!"
"This war is never going to end..." Buggy looked up at the sky.
A standard-issue warship, hanging upside down, descended from the sky. Countless prisoners, some clinging to the mast, others soaring through the air, uttered cries of resentment and commotion.
"What do we do? There's ice all below! Someone please save us! I don't want to die!"
"Coming here was a mistake!"
A louder voice drowned out the other noise. "Ahhh... It's okay! I'm rubber, I'm fine!!"
"Hey kid, don't just think about your own life or death!!"
