Transcended as Lord Buggy

Everyone's battle has been finished, except for Buggy's battle with Kizaru. Their fight is the one that caused the most destruction to their surrounding. They have a lot more power than anyone else in their groups.

But their battle seems to have finished already now. Kizaru has stabbed Buggy in the heart with his light sword. It is imbued with haki and blood comes out of the spot where Buggy gets stabbed. So he is sure that Buggy is dead now.

Buggy's condition is also very bad, so it makes him even more sure. Buggy has many injuries in his body, very contrast with Kizaru who only has a few. The lightman has inflicted more damage on Buggy as he is still too fast for Buggy.

Kizaru dispels his light sword after lifting Buggy's body. It makes Buggy falls on the ground and lay there weakly. Then Kizaru puts his hand in his pocket to take a denden mushi.

He is just about to call someone with it when a flying slash suddenly appears from below and cuts the denden mushi in half. The slash also cut his right hand and caused a deep wound. It really surprises Kizaru and he looks down at Buggy who grins while lying on the ground.

"Too bad it doesn't cut your hand fully and just created a wound. But it is deep, so you won't be able to use your hand like before," says Buggy as he gets up.

"You are still alive?" asks Kizaru in a real surprised tone.

"Of course, I never said I'm dead, right? You assumed it yourself," says Buggy as if a dead man can talk and says that he is dead.

"But I'm sure I've stabbed your heart," says Kizaru while holding his injured right hand.

"Maybe you need to make sure once more," says Buggy while grinning.

Kizaru moves again to slash at Buggy with the light sword in his left hand. But Buggy blocks it with his swords and kicks Kizaru on the chest. The kick flings Kizaru away and the lightman crashes onto a cliff.

"You lose your concentration," says Buggy as he rushes at Kizaru again.

They start to fight at close range like what they did before. But now Buggy is the one who pushes Kizaru, unlike before. The lightman is still very confused and shocked by what happened before, so he can't concentrate now.

Furthermore, his right hand has a big wound and can't be used now. So he can only use his left hand to hold the light sword. It's not that he can't use his left hand, but it's far worse than when he used his right hand.

Buggy inflicts more damages on Kizaru as time goes. That surprised attack has changed the battle's flow greatly. Now it looks like Kizaru will lose to Buggy anytime.

"Hehe, now we have equal injuries," says Buggy while looking at Kizaru's bloody appearance.

Kizaru clicks his tongue and wipes the blood on his mouth. Buggy rushes again, but Kizaru escaped after transforming into the light. He gets on a safe distance before ripping his coat and using it as a bandage to cover the wound on his hand.

"Sigh, you've got me good. Now it will get a lot harder for me to fight you with my condition," says Kizaru.

"Damn, you've returned to your sense, huh? It's better to stay like before, you know," says Buggy.

"As if. But well, now that I can think clearly, I can finally guess why you were fine even after being stabbed like that. You don't have a heart, at least not in your body," says Kizaru.

Buggy just grins and doesn't say anything which just confirms Kizaru's guess. Just like what Kizaru guessed, Buggy doesn't have his heart in his body now. It is saved in a special safe in his room and no one knows it, even his crew.

This is something that he has done since he almost die after Garp beat him up. He was inspired by Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean. That octopus keeps his heart in a chest to stay alive.

That's why Buggy was fine when Kizaru stabbed his left chest. His heart was never there, so Kizaru's sword won't kill him. Besides, he has split his chest a little before it get stabbed to avoid damage, so he was just fooling Kizaru.

But he was still grazed by the light sword, so there was blood that came out of it. He let it be because it was making his act better and Kizaru was really fooled by it. A pirate needed to use any trick to win a battle against a stronger opponent.

Now Kizaru has returned to his sense, so the battle will get harder again. But the damages inflicted by Buggy will affect his fighting abilities. Still, Buggy also has a lot of injuries, so the winner of their battle is still unclear.

They keep fighting at close range with their remaining energy. Their Haki energy also has become very low after they keep using Haki for a long time. It has become difficult for them to even use Observation Haki now, not to mention Armament.

They can only use their devil fruit & swords to fight. But they still need to force themselves to use Armament so they can touch their opponent. That's why they use the most basic colorless Armament Haki to save energy now.

Kizaru is rather pissed now because it shouldn't be the case if Buggy can't split his body to the cellular level. He was just immune to slash attacks before, but now he is also immune to blunt attacks by splitting his body at the cellular level as if he is a sand logia.

But Buggy is more pissed because Kizaru is still too fast for him. Even though he has used his Observation Haki to the max, he still can't match Kizaru's speed. If this keeps going on, he will be the one who loses this battle.

'I won't be able to match his speed no matter what I do. So the only way is by predicting his movements long before they happened. A few seconds are enough,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy forces his senses & instinct to work harder. He forces his Observation Haki to see Kizaru's next movements even for a moment faster than before. He forces himself to grow in this difficult moment.

Buggy concentrates fully to sense Kizaru's movements with his Observation Haki. He is very concentrated that his eyes look as if they turn fully white. His expression is very serious and he doesn't even flinch when he gets hit.

His sudden change in demeanor surprised Kizaru again. Kizaru has been surprised by Buggy many times and now it happens again. There has been no pirate that can surprise him this much, even the Pirate King or other big pirates.

'Truly a dangerous man. I can't let him get away no matter what or it will be very bad. Someone like him will cause a big change in the world if he keeps growing. As a Marine, I can't let a pirate change the world,' thinks Kizaru as he also moves faster than before.

Kizaru's sudden raise in speed makes Buggy gets overwhelmed. He gets hit many times and his injuries increase as time goes. But he is still concentrating to read & predict Kizaru's movements faster & faster.

Then suddenly, Buggy sees Kizaru swing his sword from above. But it's just an unclear sight, an image in his mind. The real attack happens 3 seconds after that image appears.

'This is, Advanced Level!' thinks Buggy in surprise.

Finally, Buggy has upgraded his Observation Haki to Advanced Level and foresees 4 seconds into the future. This is a very good thing, but he doesn't think much about it now and keep concentrating. He needs to use this perfectly and win against Kizaru.

Buggy starts to see Kizaru's movements and counter them all perfectly. Kizaru is getting surprised by Buggy again now. He ignores his surprise and uses full-speed attacks on Buggy to end this battle soon. It feels like Buggy will keep surprising him if they keep battling.

But Buggy's Advanced-level Observation Haki makes Kizaru's attacks useless. He keeps facing them with perfect countermeasures. Then finally, Buggy uses his remaining Haki energy and infuses it to Pollux & charges it.

"See you in the future, Kizaru, if you survived. Clown's Rage: World Slicer!" says Buggy as he swings Pollux diagonally from below.

A white blackish flying slash attack with strong pressure power inside it is created. It hits Kizaru who stands right in front of Buggy and pushed him back fast. Kizaru blocks it with his sword, but it gets destroyed fast. So it hits his body, but he has covered it with Armament Haki.

Too bad that his Haki energy is low, so he can't make a strong & tough haki. Such a weak Armament Haki won't be able to block Pollux's strong pressure. It finally breaks the haki and cuts Kizaru's torso, creating a very deep diagonal wound.

Kizaru's fly finally gets stopped by a boulder that gets destroyed by his fast fly. He falls to the ground and lay on his front with blood gushing out of his body. He raises his head with the little energy that he has and looks at Buggy before losing consciousness.

"Finally," says Buggy as he looks at Kizaru before he also falls on his front after gaining victory.
