Buggy vs. Big Mom Pirates (2)

A crescent-shaped white slashing aura, almost tangible, swept through the air. Charlotte Katakuri instantly transformed his body into a rice-like substance, spreading outwards and using the rice's flexibility to tightly envelop the entire slashing aura, forcefully neutralizing its power.

Ta-da!

He stumbled back several steps before regaining his balance, then glanced at the people behind him out of the corner of his eye. "Are you all alright?"

The younger Charlotte Gray and the others exclaimed gratefully, "Charlotte Katakuri- san, thank you so much!"

"Cut!"

Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders, was hidden inside the Biscuit Soldier, wielding several weapons. He appeared behind Buggy in a flash, and several cold glints shot towards him!

Shave!

Buggy stomped his foot on the ground and instantly disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!" Cracker thought to himself. As he did so, a biscuit-shaped figure expanded out from the back of the Biscuit Soldier wrapped around his body, and the Pretzel he was holding was imbued with Armament Haki and thrust towards a diagonal point in mid-air.

Lift!

Just as the Biscuit Soldier lunged forward, a tiny spatial rift appeared beneath Buggy's feet, which had appeared above and behind Cracker. The right amount of spatial energy instantly propelled him upward a short distance, just enough to avoid the attack. Then, his body flipped over, and his axe-like legs plummeted down!

The moment his right leg touched the Biscuit Soldier, the latter's body turned into crumbs like dried rock, and Cracker, hidden inside, was exposed without any defense.

"What!!"

Cracker didn't have time to think. He instinctively leaned forward to avoid a fatal blow, but Buggy's left leg, like a high-speed train engine, mercilessly kicked him to the side, sending Cracker flying more than twenty meters and smashing countless dessert tables and chairs!

"The cream has solidified!" Minister of Cream Charlotte Opera reacted quickly, creating a large number of cream mats to catch the Cracker flying in her direction.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Cracker clutched his slightly swollen cheek, rolling around in the cream. He was naturally terrified of pain.

"That Red Nose is too strong..."

"What exactly does he want to do here?"

The ministers and officials around him were all shocked. In just a few blinks of an eye, Buggy had switched from a passive defender to an attacker and knocked Cracker. This formidable fighting power was no weaker than that of the Sweet Commanders... and what exactly was that strange ability of his?!

Buggy landed steadily on the spot. "Whether it's rice or biscuits, all inanimate objects are as fragile as blank sheets of paper in front of me."

"Not necessarily." Charlotte Katakuri stared sharply at Buggy. "Perhaps you can disperse so-called 'non-living things' with your strange abilities, but you can't easily disperse Haki. Otherwise, you wouldn't have dodged Biscuit Soldier's sword just now, but instead chose to attack his unsuspecting head."

"So that's how it is!"

"As expected of Charlotte Katakuri- san!"

The younger siblings of the Charlotte family suddenly understood, as if the clouds had parted and the sun had risen, and echoed their agreement.

Buggy's lips curled into an ambiguous smile. "As expected of the Sweet Commanders, such keen observation skills."

"That damn Red Nose brat!"

Charlotte Linlin pressed her hands to the ground to support herself and finally stood up. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was filled with unbearable rage. Drops of acidic saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth. "How dare you cause trouble at my tea party! I'll kill you right here today!"

As soon as Charlotte Linlin finished speaking, Charlotte Katakuri waved his hand and shouted, "Charlotte Moscato, quickly protect the nun's photo!"

If the nun's photo is destroyed, Charlotte Linlin will enter a weakened state, which is exactly the future Charlotte Katakuri — Buggy would take action against the nun's photo!

"Oh? Such precognition is truly troublesome..."

Buggy glanced sideways at Charlotte Katakuri, then wrapped his arms in Armament Haki and fiercely slammed them together to meet the oncoming massive fist!

Boom!!

The clash of immense forces created layers of air currents that radiated outwards from between Charlotte Linlin and Buggy!

Charlotte Linlin stumbled back two steps, unable to maintain her balance, while Buggy, using the powerful impact of Charlotte Linlin's punch, charged straight towards the direction where the nun's photo was placed!

"Don't even think about it!" Candy Minister Charlotte Perospero swung her cane, and chains of candy snaked like shadows as they chased after Buggy, their tips like nimble tongues instantly wrapping around Buggy's ankle!

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't ignore me!"

After Charlotte Perospero finished speaking, he yanked his cane hard, causing Buggy to freeze for a moment. Bucky glanced down, then his ankle twitched, and the candy chain shattered into dozens of pieces like broken glass, falling to the ground. Charlotte Perospero's body, due to the inertia of the pull, only staggered backward.

Although he didn't stop Buggy, he bought time for the others to arrive.

"Don't even think about getting past us!"

The butter that Butter Minister Charlotte Galette conjured swept across like sharp vines, while the Sweet Commanders Charlotte Snack scattered a shower of various snacks like spikes, blocking Buggy's path.

"Get out of the way!" Buggy punched into the air, and five irregularly shaped spatial rifts appeared in his fist. A powerful spatial energy burst out from the rifts, creating a shockwave that swept away the butter vines and spiked snacks in front of him. The energy continued to rush forward without diminishing its momentum, creating a strong air convection around them. Galette and Snack had no choice but to put their hands in front of them, unable to open their eyes to block the strong wind.

"Specular reflection!"

Charlotte Brûlée, the Devil Fruit User the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, created a giant transparent mirror to block the spatial tremor, whose power had been weakened to half, and reflected the energy back at Buggy, who was rushing towards her!

Buggy immediately leaped into the air, jumping more than six meters high, quickly taking in everyone in front of him, preparing to swoop down and break through from the air.

"Lamp Genie!"

At that moment, a loud shout came from Minister Charlotte Daifuku, and the light in the sky was instantly blocked by a huge shadow. The Lamp Genie, covered in Armament Haki, raised a giant axe and fell from the sky with the force of splitting a mountain. In an instant, he smashed Buggy into the ground, stirring up countless clouds of dust!

Is it over?

Cheese Minister Charlotte Mont-d'Or produced a thick book in her hand. "Now, let me imprison this arrogant and rude fellow!" As she finished speaking, the book flew into the dust.

As soon as the book flew into the dust, his expression changed drastically, and he took two steps back. Countless scraps of paper were seen drifting out of the dust and flying into the sky.

"You all did a great job..."

A calm, unchanging voice rang out, and the blurry black figure in the smoke and dust once again came into everyone's view.
