123. Easy Battles

Buggy stands in front of the 10 Half-Wings members who came to Bani's home. Bani & Diane are looking at Buggy & the pirates from inside the house. Diane is very worried, but Bani is very calm right now.

"Don't worry, he will be fine. Those people aren't his opponents at all," says Bani.

"How can you be so sure? You've retired since our son got kidnapped. Maybe your sense has become dull too," says Diane with a worried tone.

"I know you're worried, but there's no need to insult me, right?" asks Bani while sweatdropping.

"But that's a fact. Even though you were the strongest warrior in the past, but it's been 27 years since you retired," says Diane.

Diane just reveals a shocking truth. Too bad that none of The Clowns hear it, especially Palu. They haven't told The Clowns, even Palu because they were too happy that their son has returned.

Just like what Diane said, Bani was the strongest warrior in Birka 27 years ago. He was asked to be the late God's Guardian many times, but he always refused. That's because being a God's Guardian is too troublesome for him.

Now it is clear why Palu could be that strong in a short time after he started to train. He got it from his father who was Birka's strongest man in the past. Genetic is always an important factor for someone's power growth.

Still, it has been 26 years since Bani retired, so Diane's worry isn't wrong. He hasn't trained as he was in the past, so he is a lot weaker now. Even though Bani still trained a little, but it's not as intense as his past training.

He has gotten a lot weaker physically, but he still has a lot of experience. Since he met with The Clowns, he has known their power ranks. He knows the strongest to the weakest person in the crew since he saw them.

"Honey, you need to remember that he is their crew's captain. He is also the strongest in their crew, so no need to be that worried. Our son also has told us what Buggy did in God Palace, right?" asks Bani.

"Still," says Diane worriedly.

Bani can only sigh at his worrywart wife. He can only tell her to not watch if she's too worried about it. It will make her faint if she sees the fight while being too worried.

Diane does as Bani said and goes to her room so she won't see the fight. Bani stays in the living room to watch the fight through the windows. He knows Buggy will win, but he wants to know how Buggy will achieve it.

In front of the house, Buggy stands calmly while grinning. He taunts the pirates to attack him with his finger. The pirates who hold their weapons then rush at him.

Buggy doesn't move as the enemies rush at him together. They surround him and then swing their weapons at him. They use swords, staff, and clubs to attack Buggy from every side.

*CLANG CLANG*

Their weapons hit Buggy, but something is not right. The sounds aren't like metals hitting a person's skin, but metals hitting metals. They look at Buggy and see that he just stands there as if nothing happened.

"H-How is this possible?" asks a pirate with widened eyes.

The pirates who use blunt weapons can understand that their weapons are touching Buggy's skin. But the ones who use swords can't understand how their swords aren't cutting Buggy's skin.

Buggy used colorless armament haki on his body to block their attacks. He wanted to test their strength and they're weaker than he thought. They couldn't even break his colorless armament haki together.

Bani is also surprised seeing this. He doesn't know what happened and can only think of one thing, devil fruit. Bani thinks Buggy has a devil fruit that allows him to harden his skin or something because Bani never knows about armament haki.

"Sigh, what a disappointment. I thought you guys can entertain me a little," says Buggy with a disappointed expression.

Buggy then punches & kicks the pirates at fast speed. One hit per person and they get knocked out instantly.

"So boring. Maybe I should've just joined them," says Buggy before sighing.

On the White Sea, The Clowns are still fighting the Half-Wings. Cricket still doesn't move from his spot and just commands the crew. Some enemies try to attack him, but they get defeated easily with a punch each.

"Sigh, Captain is right. It will be too much for them if I join the battle. They're just weaklings who can only use the height & air pressure change advantage," says Cricket.

The Clowns defeat the Half-Wings members without any trouble. These guys are weaker than Deon's old crew who have joined them. The only decent fighter is their Captain who fights Palu. But even he can't hold his ground against Palu who is just half-serious.

"What's wrong? Where's your big mouth now?" asks Palu with a mocking tone.

Palu swings his Warhammer to attack the enemy Captain. He just swings it randomly without any technique and just used brute strength. But his attacks are too much for the enemy Captain who keeps blocking them with his mace.

Now the enemy Captain's hands are numb and he feels like his bones will break. Palu's attacks are too powerful and heavy for him. But he holds on because he knows he will die if he can't block the Warhammer.

Meanwhile, the other Clowns are getting bored with their battles. Their opponents can't give them any fight even though their number is high. The Clowns are just too strong for them and have used to fight with many opponents.

Soon, the other Clowns finished their battles and defeated all Half-Wings members. Even Ruff has defeated some enemies from their ship's crow nest. This is such an easy battle for them and no one of The Clowns gets injured.

Now, the only battle that still happens is Palu's battle with the enemy Captain. The others know he can finish it fast, but he is playing with his opponent right now. So they just watch Palu's battle while tying up the defeated enemies.

But Palu keeps playing even after 3 minutes, so Cricket gives an order. "Palu, finish it now. The ship will sink if you take more time."

"Alright," answer Palu while grinning.

"*pant pant* Finish it? Do you think you can finish this just because you want to? Do you think you can defeat me just because he tells you to do it?" asks the enemy Captain who is still very haughty even though he is very tired and his whole body is trembling.

"Of course, it's an easy thing to do after all," says Palu while grinning.

Palu takes a stance with his right foot in the front and he lowers his body. He holds his Warhammer with 2 hands and takes it to his left side. Then he infuses it with his colorless armament haki to add the damage.

"It will be hurt, so don't cry," says Palu while grinning before he swings his Warhammer to the enemy Captain.

The enemy Captain lifts his cracked mace to block the Warhammer. Palu's Warhammer hit the mace and break it in an instant. Then his Warhammer hits the enemy Captain's body and flings him to the wall at high speed.

*BRAK BRAK BRAK*

The enemy Captain crashes and breaks many layers of the ship's wall. And without any doubt, he has fainted and defeated.

Palu places his Warhammer on his shoulder before saying, "That's what you'll get for taking my parents' money. You still need to pay it back after this though."
