The Lieutenant General's Blockade

Marineford, the central part of the Encircling Wall a crescent moon.

Buggy, what are you doing here?

Luffy, who was charging forward recklessly, only then discovered Buggy, whom he had met on Sabaody Archipelago.

"Me?... I'm here to save that guy." Buggy glanced at the Execution Platform. "Straw Hat... don't stop, just keep going."

Luffy exclaimed happily, "You're here to rescue Ace too? That's great!!"

"Hey! You two... what are you whispering about?"

Noticing the two pirates from the East Blue meet, Kizaru immediately kicked out a laser beam towards their location, instantly causing a violent explosion within a radius of tens of meters!

Luffy was narrowly avoided by Ivankov's eyelash gust of wind a short distance away, and continued running forward. Buggy, relying on his Observation Haki, also dodged the explosion as if anticipating it. Seeing that Kizaru was no longer targeting him, he looked at Ivankov beside him, "Revolutionary Army Ivankov?"

"You must be Buggy ~~" Ivankov's goofy face suddenly broke into tears. "I overheard you talking about saving Fire Fist Ace on the ship just now, it was heartbreaking to hear..." His tears stopped abruptly, replaced by a gleeful expression. "Just kidding, hee-ha--"

Buggy's lips twitched slightly. "Where's Monkey D. Dragon? Why isn't he here? If anything goes wrong, his son could be doomed here..."

"Dragon is doing something more important—liberating the world... Even if he had come all the way here, the war would already be over, and I believe Luffy boy won't fall so easily. His perseverance is the most tenacious I've ever seen in my life!"

"Yeah..."

"Buggy boy, since we share the same goal, you'll do everything in your power to help Luffy boy save Fire Fist Ace, right?" Ivankov ran forward without further delay. "Alright, goodbye, I'm going to cover Luffy boy now!"

After saying that, she added, "If you want to become a sexy transgender person like me, just tell me, and I'll make your dream come true!"

Upon hearing this, Buggy nearly coughed up blood. This guy really was the most powerful transvestite... the Okama King!

The conversation had barely ended when swarms of navy personnel rushed towards them again.

"This is such a hassle..."

Buggy's gaze swept rapidly around his face. His body curled up, and after Life Return the accumulated power, he instantly tore his body into Chop-Chop. "Chop-Chop! Great Grind!"

Its various body parts rapidly enveloped an area of tens of meters in radius, swirling and flying, scattering slashing air currents and Shigan everywhere, quickly clearing out nearly a hundred swarming marines. Then, the Chop-Chop parts came back together to form a human shape.

"We can't let you get away with this any longer..." Vice Admiral Momonga, sporting a mohawk, saw the situation turning against him and swiftly arrived using Geppo. "Otherwise, the casualties among our soldiers will only continue to mount!"

Buggy raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this what you wanted? The banner of victory... can only be planted on a mountain of bones!!"

"What a twisted set of values..." the Momonga said. "It is because of you evil pirates that more and more people are displaced, their families torn apart, and we need to be the guardians of justice and order!"

"Momonga, don't waste your breath on him. Pirates will never understand what justice is, and we don't need to talk to them about fairness and justice... Let's join forces and take him down!" Marine Vice Admiral Yamakaji and Momonga appeared behind Buggy, formed a pincer movement against Buggy.

"We've been targeted by Marine Vice Admiral? This is really bad..." Buggy glanced back out of the corner of his eye. "Since you're taking this so seriously, I guess I have no choice but to give it my all. Life or death is in the hands of fate..."

Momonga charged forward with his sword, and Yamakaji attacked almost simultaneously. As comrades-in-arms who had fought for many years, the two coordinated perfectly. Their fine katana, imbued with Armament Haki, attacked Buggy one after the other, maintaining a steady pace. The moment Momonga swung his sword, Kagura's attack followed immediately, blocking Buggy's retreat. They were determined to take him down and boost the morale of the Marines!

Buggy was on the defensive, dodging left and right. Both of them were elite Vice Admiral of the Navy, proficient in both types of Haki. A hit from a weapon coated with Armament Haki would be painful, and their Observation Haki could predict Buggy's movements. Combined with their powerful physical skills, an ordinary pirate would have been overwhelmed and at a disadvantage long ago. However, Buggy, having trained, had become adept at fighting as an instinct. The two attacked for a long time but did not land a single real blow on Buggy.

The Momonga thrust its katana toward Buggy's chest, and as Bucky shifted his stance to the side, the squirrel countered with Shigan from its left hand, which it used for balance. Yamakaji suddenly changed its vertical slash into a downward thrust, taking the opportunity to attack Buggy's leg.

The two initially thought Buggy had no way to avoid it, but to their surprise, he didn't dodge at all. Instead, he instantly split his entire body into countless fragments, which spun wildly, creating a powerful gust of wind with resonant force that whipped up dust. The two were forced to retreat hastily. Then, Momonga and Yamakaji exchanged a surprised glance. "Don't you feel your blood pressure rising a bit...?"

"It's his strange ability, be careful..."

The dust quickly settled, Buggy reappeared in their sight. His arms were hidden under his cloak, while his hands hovered in the air.

Having seen the world, the Marine Vice Admiral, though sensing something was amiss, continued their attack without the slightest fear. However, during the ensuing exchange, they discovered that their bodies were becoming increasingly uncomfortable; their right legs were inexplicably numb, severely hindering their movements!

Buggy smiled and kicked the flying Momonga in the chest, sending it flying back ten meters. He then turned and kicked the attacking Yamakaji away.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Momonga's mouth. He felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he had a high fever, but he had never had a high fever in decades. For a moment, he didn't know what was wrong, but he finally realized that it was Buggy who was behind it!

"Don't look at me like that. It's not some powerful technique anyway... I just used the particles I split off to attach to your bodies and provide sensor feedback, simulating the frequencies of your blood vessels and hearts remotely... Oh, right, you probably can't understand what I'm saying, can you?" Buggy glanced at the Yamakaji again. "Anyway, as long as the same resonance frequency is simulated, your hearts should explode... Well, to put it bluntly, they'll bleed!"
