Transcended as Lord Buggy

While Magnus' raid team is fighting the enemy's main force, Buggy & Deon are moving to find the slave workers. This island has an important mineral resource that the Beasts Pirates seek. They won't occupy this island if there's no benefit, after all.

To mine that resource, they need workers which they caught and turned into their slaves. Buggy wants to ruin Kaido's business and stopping these mines is important. But unlike on Coke Island, he will release these slaves so there won't be anyone left on this island.

Kaido will need to start all over again if there's no worker here. Furthermore, Buggy plans to destroy this cave so if Kaido wants it again, he will need to start from scratch again. It's easier to destroy things than to build them.

Deon has gathered information about this place before, so finding the slaves' locations are easy. They are scattered on some mining spots, but these spots aren't that far apart. Both of them go to these spots from the one on the right side of this cave.

There are some guards in these mines who are tasked to make sure the slaves are working. But they aren't that strong so Buggy & Deon can defeat them easily. The problem is that they are scattered inside the mine so it will take time to kill all of them.

Both of them move separately to kill these guards. They also release the slaves from their explosive collars using the keys that Deon stole. The keys are universal, so they can be used to unlock all the collars.

They tell the slaves to stay in the mine until the raid is over. The slaves will just be a burden if they come out and try to fight the enemies. It's better to let them stay here and rest because they've worked for hours or even days without rest.

Buggy & Deon give the keys to the slaves in each mining spot so they can release the other slaves while both of them focus on killing the guards. The mining spots are long & deep, after all, so they can't waste time by releasing each slave they find.

These mining spots are like labyrinths with many branches. It's also dark so it's hard to see inside these small caves. But Deon has also stolen the maps for these caves, so it's easier for them to explore these caves.

For Buggy & Deon, killing the mine guards is easy but it takes time. However, for Magnus' raid team, their battle is not an easy one. The 200 men that they fight in this last wave are the strongest of their bunch.

There are also the enemy's leader and 3 more high-ranked officers in the enemy's group. Magnus will take care of the leader, but there's no one strong enough to fight the 3 officers among the raid group including Ruff. He is not a fighter, after all.

So the only choice is for the Clowns' executives to help. They pick the ones who haven't had the chance to fight strong enemies in New World. The ones who will fight are Cricket, Palu, & Mantis.

"Aren't these too much? You guys are too strong for them, so the battles will be boring. Maybe you can stay behind and let me handle it," says Enel.

"No, we want to have fun too. We haven't had the chance to flex our bodies since we arrived in New World. The next island is far, so we will need to wait for days. I am not that patient," says Cricket while cracking his neck.

"That's right. My hands are itching to fight," says Palu.

"Enough chitchat. Let's go!" says Mantis as she jumps to the land.

Cricket & Palu follow Mantis and rush to the 3 officers. They run amidst the battle of their men against the 200 enemies. Some enemies try to attack them but they can handle these small fries easily.

"Magnus! Everyone will be fine by themselves. Go and fight the enemy's leader!" shouts Cricket to Magnus.

Magnus nods and moves to attack the enemy's leader which is a green-haired middle-aged man named Doron. The 3 officers try to attack Magnus and they all transform into animals. They transform into a crane, a cheetah, and a horse.

But before they can reach Magnus, Cricket, Palu, & Mantis stop them. Cricket faces the horse, Palu faces the Cheetah, and Mantis faces the crane. They hit the 3 enemies and fling them away until they crash onto buildings.

"4 Zoan users. Beasts Pirates really lives up to their name," says Palu.

"Well, their Captain has the moniker of Hundreds Beasts or King of Beasts. So he must've led many beasts subordinates," says Cricket.

They look at Magnus who rushes at Doron and attacks with an axe in his normal form. Doron takes something from his back and swings it to counter Magnus' axe. He uses a big morning star mace to counter Magnus' attack.

Magnus is stronger and pushes Doron a few meters back. But Doron is strong enough to receive Magnus' attack in his normal form because he only gets pushed a few meters back. So their battle will be good enough for Magnus' growth.

The 3 officers who crashed onto buildings have returned in their hybrid form and now attack Cricket & co. Cricket, Mantis, & Palu can defeat them fast because the difference in their powers is high. But they decide to use lower power and train their skills.

Magnus needs to fight his opponent seriously though because Doron is strong even in his human form. He can defend Magnus' attacks without losing his ground even if he gets pushed because Magnus is stronger.

But Doron isn't on the losing end as he can handle Magnus' attacks correctly. He has a lot of battle experience, even more than Magnus who is far older than him. It's because Doron has more life & death battles compared to Magnus who has just left Elbaf a few years ago.

Besides, not many people can become threats to giants. So it's not strange for giants like Magnus to not have many life & death battle experiences. Their overwhelming strength scared most people but without battles, they won't grow as fast as humans.

So this is an opportunity for Magnus to fight against an experienced fighter. The last opponent that he fought was Rear-Admiral Ronse, a giant like him. Ronse is strong but Doron is stronger. He might be as strong as a Vice-Admiral if he goes all out.

That prediction is correct because when Doron transforms into an Ankylosaurus, Magnus gets pushed easily. Doron's Ankylosaurus form is big. His current height is 3 meters and his length is 10 meters. He has an armored body with bone spikes on the armor and a hammer tail.

A swing from his hammer tail has flung the giant Magnus to crash onto the buildings far behind. His body armor also seems to be very tough, as if they're made of metal. The armor is all over his back and the top of his head.

Doron looks at the location where Magnus crashed and gets ready. He knows Magnus won't get defeated by that attack and he is correct. Magnus jumps out of the rubbles of the destroyed buildings.

He lands in open space and now he is in his Asura form already. His body has become bigger, his skin turns red and he has 6 arms now. He holds 2 giant Axe in his hands and looks at Doron's Ankylosaurus form.

Magnus rushes and swings both of his Axes at Doron. The Axes hits Doron's armored back but failed to break it even though Doron doesn't use A-Haki. His armor is very tough even without Haki coating it. This will really become a difficult battle for Magnus.
