Transcended as Lord Buggy

The Happo Navy ships are getting closer to Clown Pirates. Buggy stays on the rear to defend the ship while the others control the ship to escape.

"It's futile, you can't get away from me," says Chinjao.

"Oh yeah? But I think we can," says Buggy.

Buggy holds Pollux with his right hand and uses haki on it. Then he gets into a stance with Pollux positioned on his left. Pollux then starts to glow with white light and Buggy keeps it raised for a minute to charge his attack energy.

"Take this. Press Release: Slash!" Buggy says his technique name.

Buggy swing Pollux from his left to his right horizontally with full power. A big white flying slash attack comes out from Buggy's swing. It moves very fast toward Happo Navy ships.

Chinjao orders the other ships to back off or they'll get hit by Buggy's attack. Then Chinjao move forward to block the flying slash attack. Chinjao covers his whole body with haki and waits for the slash attack.

The slash attack reaches his ship, but it's moving toward the lower hull because the Little Hunter's height is a lot lower than Chinjao's ship.

So Chinjao can only jump down to defend against the flying slash attack. He jump at the right time and receive the slash attack with his body. Then he grabs it while getting pushed back by the slash attack and land on his ship's keel.

Chinjao land on his feet while holding the flying slash attack. But now he can feel the power of Buggy's attack. It is very strong and starts to push him & his ship back.

'How can that brat have this much power? Isn't he tired after climbing 5 mountains with those weights?' thinks Chinjao.

Buggy's flying slash attack is created using Pollux's devil fruit power. Its power is press, so Buggy accumulated strong pressing power and release it at once. For the energy, Pollux feeds on his haki to activate the devil fruit power.

The same thing also applied with Castor. However, to use it, he needs a strong bond with his swords. That's why he's glad at Chinjao's challenge to climb those mountains. In the last few days, he created a strong bond with his swords. So now he can use their power.

Chinjao's ship is getting pushed back, so Buggy orders his crew to sail faster. Buggy also wants to do something while Chinjao's hands are full.

Buggy gets into a stance again like before and charges his attack. Then Buggy slashes his sword at Happo Navy ships and creates another flying slash attack.

"Press Release: Slash!"

The Happo Navy and Chinjao widen their eyes at the incoming attack. This attack is a little higher than the previous one. It is higher than the deck, so it will hit the masts and cut them.

Chinjao exerts all his power and redirects the attack that he blocks down to the sea. He succeeds and the first attack goes down to the sea. Chinjao also use the momentum from his redirection to move up and block the second attack.

Chinjao jump and almost reach the second attack. He tries to punch the attack to the sky, but it moves past his punch narrowly. So now the slash attack flies toward the ship's mast.

"SHIT!" shout Chinjao.

Buggy's flying slash attack moves toward the mast and no one other than Chinjao can block it. The attack hit the mast and cut it. Then it moves toward the other masts and cuts them too.

Buggy then send 4 more attacks toward the other 4 ships. The other 4 ships receive the same fate as their main ship. Their masts get cut and they won't be able to sail again.

The Clown Pirates use this chance to run away. Buggy knows he can't defeat Don Chinjao with his current strength, so it's better to leave. Besides, just creating those 6 attacks has made him very tired and he run out of haki now.

The Clown Pirates sail away fast and Don Chinjao can only look at them angrily. He feels very humiliated, like when Garp destroyed his drill.

"Curse you Buggy 'The Clown'. I won't forgive you and I will get my revenge on you just like Garp," says Chinjao while clenching his fists.

Don Chinjao now put Buggy on his top hate list. Buggy is just 2nd after Garp because he is a lot weaker than Garp now. But the humiliation that Buggy gave to him is the same as Garp.

The Clown Pirates have escaped and move to South Blue. They haven't finished exploring West Blue, but they know they can't stay here any longer with Happo Navy chasing them.

Don Chinjao receives a scolding from the Kano Country's King. Not only he gave the Hasshoken manual to outsiders, but he also lost in a battle against a small pirate crew. It put shame on Kano Country.

"Listen, this incident shouldn't be known by the world. So I want everyone here to close their mouth and don't spread it, even to your family!" orders the King.

"Yes," everyone replies.

Among the people in the room, there's one of Chinjao's nephews, Ley. Unlike the others, Ley sees this as an opportunity. If he can get the manual back and capture the Clown Pirates, he can be the next Happo Navy's Admiral or Don.

He is weaker than Chinjao, so he can't hope to get the Admiral title with his power. So he will get it through merit and capturing a crew that has humiliated the current Admiral will give him a lot of merit points.

Ley orders his men to search for The Clown Pirates' location without anyone's knowing. He will move on his own and come back with the captured Clown Pirates.

Ley's men move fast and find the Clown Pirates' location. They're transitting on Rote Island, which is located on the route to the Red Line crossing port. They are filling their supplies in Rote Island.

Ley knows his uncle will find out about this soon, so he needs to move fast. Ley immediately chases The Clown Pirates together with his men.

With his ship, he can reach Rote Island in 6 hours at full speed. But in 6 hours, Buggy & co will finish their business on that island. So Ley will chase them to the Red Line port and get them before they reach the port.

He won't be able to do anything if the Clown Pirates have reached the port after all. The port is an important place and no one can make a mess there. Messing with the port means messing with the whole Underworld. Even WG won't dare to make a mess in that place.

Meanwhile, the Clown Pirates are sailing to Red Line crossing port. They will go to South Blue through that port like how Buggy crossed from East Blue to North Blue. They sail rather fast because they know that Happo Navy will know that they've stopped on Rote Island just now.

They were forced to stop on Rote Island previously because Buggy eat almost all of their supplies. He is very hungry after spending his energy climbing all those mountains. He also spent a lot of energy on his haki & big attacks last night.

"CAPTAIN, A HAPPO NAVY SHIP IS COMING TO US," Cricket shouts from the crow nest.

"Is it Don Chinjao?" asks Buggy.

"No, it's his nephew, Ley," answers Cricket.

Buggy grins and says, "Heh, they underestimate us. Prepare for battle! We will sink them."
