Buggy vs. Big Mom Pirates (3)

Charlotte Mont-d'Or stared at the flying confetti, her eyes wide with disbelief, and said, "That guy... completely unharmed!"

His Devil Fruit ability is to control books, so he can observe Buggy's situation through the books that just flew into the smoke.

"Didn't the Lamp Genie's attack work...?" Charlotte Daifuku snorted irritably.

"Brûlée, get out of the way!!"

Charlotte Katakuri's anxious voice suddenly rang out. Charlotte Brûlée was momentarily stunned before being blasted away by an unimaginable force, crashing into the castle wall with a loud thud!

"Slow Narrative Song!"

Charlotte Amande, the Minister of Nuts, swiftly circled around from behind, wielding her Famous Sword "White Fish" in a horizontal slash at Buggy. The surrounding air seemed to slow down as "White Fish" was swung, but the airflow suddenly accelerated the instant it passed Buggy's body, and Buggy's body was instantly cleaved in two.

However, the scenario she imagined—her upper body landing—did not occur. Instead, her lower body, which was still able to move freely, suddenly unleashed a sharp whip kick!

"What!"

Despite slightly lowering her guard, she still subconsciously imbued her Famous Sword "White Fish" with Armament Haki and held it at her side to block.

Buggy's whip kick struck the "White Fish," and after a brief stalemate, the part of the White Fish's blade that made contact shattered into tiny pieces of metal. The whip kick, now unimpeded, continued its momentum, striking Charlotte Amande's long, Snake-Neck Tribe neck and sending her flying with overwhelming force!

The glutinous rice sprouting from Charlotte Katakuri's body formed a net and flew swiftly towards Charlotte Amande, catching her firmly and then gently placing her on the ground, his face filled with anger.

"Chiffon, take Pez and move back a bit..."

After watching the battle, Capone Bege finished speaking to his wife and subtly retreated. He had originally wanted to join forces with the others to attack Buggy, firstly to avenge the injury he suffered on Sabaody Archipelago, and secondly to gain Charlotte Linlin's trust and earn her favor. However, after witnessing Buggy's power once again, he wisely chose to temporarily retreat. Having suffered a loss once, he was already wary.

Stussy and several other dark giants from the underworld also stayed away from the battlefield, observing the battle while reassessing Buggy's individual strength in their minds.

"They have hurt my daughter time and time again..."

Charlotte Linlin roared angrily, her massive body surprisingly possessing remarkable speed. In the blink of an eye, a strike wreathed in flames and electricity pressed down on Buggy's body!

Buggy's entire right arm bulged with muscles, and the prominent veins stood out like gnarled roots of an old tree. He fearlessly raised his arm and charged back!

The space within several meters instantly split into several pieces, forming a massive spatial energy surge that fiercely clashed with Charlotte Linlin's Thunderfire Explosion Fist!

Lightning and spatial energy converged to form a lightning storm that splashed outwards. Everyone retreated cautiously. Charlotte Katakuri quickly gave orders, "Charlotte Moscato, you take the nun's photo and leave first!"

"Hmph!" Buggy slammed his left hand forward, Sky Split once more and releasing a massive burst of spatial energy. Charlotte Linlin was finally unable to withstand it and was forced to retreat. The electricity and flames on her fists burst into the air like fireworks.

"Don't even think about running." Buggy also staggered back a few steps due to the recoil, but quickly regained his balance. He kicked backward with his Tempest Kick, blocking Charlotte Moscato's escape route. At the same time, he quickly crossed his feet and used the "shave" technique, which incorporated the "Scoop," to move at high speed over a long distance.

The speed was so fast that almost everyone around the route didn't have time to react.

Just as Buggy was moving at high speed and was about to approach Charlotte Moscato, Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders, suddenly appeared, her nearly three-meter-long sword flashing out like a serpent!

Buggy lowered his upper body slightly, like a cheetah catching its prey, and charged at Charlotte Moscato again, grabbing the latter by the back of his collar in Lightning Flash, and using the momentum to slam his body heavily to the ground!

At the same time, as Charlotte Moscato let go, the nun's photograph was tossed into the air!

Buggy reached into the air and firmly grasped the photograph in his palm. Then, he looked down at a wound on his ankle. Instead of red blood, clear fluid was flowing from the wound.

He knew he hadn't completely dodged Smoothie's longsword blade, and the latter had activated her ability. Water and blood are different; blood will slowly congeal and scab over, but water won't, and the more he lost, the faster his stamina would be depleted.

However, compared to obtaining the nun's photo, this injury is nothing.

"Put that photo down right now, you Red Nose bastard!"

"Don't do such a stupid thing!"

Amidst the commotion, Charlotte Katakuri muttered darkly, "Why! How did he know? Who told him about the photos!"

"It's over, Big Mom."

Buggy pointed the nun's photo at Charlotte Linlin, squeezed it hard, and it instantly shattered into Chop-Chop, falling to the ground.

"..."

Charlotte Linlin, standing not far away, stared at the shattered photograph of the nun, momentarily stunned. She then stood frozen in place, muttering emotionlessly, "You... do you know who that person was... and my tea party..."

"Oh no!" Everyone thought to themselves. Before they could think of anything, Charlotte Linlin's terrifying voice rang out. The sound waves spread outwards as if they were real, and countless tables and chairs were blown away. Almost everyone covered their ears. Those who were close to Charlotte Linlin crouched down, unable to move, with expressions of great pain on their faces.

Then, flying shards of glass cut a small wound on Charlotte Linlin's face.

Minister Charlotte Owen, his Oven, covered his ears and strained to glance at Charlotte Linlin, who was closest to him. His heart sank. "Oh no! Mom's hurt!"

"Big Mom in a weakened state..." Capone Bege's eyes flashed with an barely suppressed glint, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, but quickly pulled back, muttering to himself, "No, it's too dangerous. Without a plan, acting rashly will only lead to my demise!"

"Let me turn the world upside down!"

Buggy endured the sonic boom, his muscles bulging as he gathered immense power before unleashing a powerful strike. "Space Beam Cannon!"

Space Chop-Chop, and a shimmering green light shone through. The stirred vibrations poured out from the cracks in the energy space, instantly transforming into a beam of light nearly five meters thick, which swept towards the unsuspecting Charlotte Linlin from Buggy's two fists!
