452. Giant Killing

Buggy jumps around to evade the attacks of the 3 Admirals plus Sengoku and Garp. They aren't showing any mercy and attack with all their power. Every attack is devastating. They don't care anymore about Marineford's condition, it has been destroyed too much, after all.

However, none of their attacks hit Buggy because he can always dodge. He is always one step ahead of them, thanks to the future sight of his advanced Observation Haki. As he can see their attacks before they even move, Buggy can easily dodge their attacks.

He only needs to be wary of Kizaru's speed and Fujitora's strong Observation Haki. Though in the end, none of their attacks landed on him. Instead, their attacks destroy Marineford even more. Luckily, the other marines have run away after Buggy destroyed the plaza, so they don't hit their allies.

The pirates and marines that have retreated are in awe and disbelief now. Buggy keeps dodging at the last moment as if he is toying with them. Now that he is fully concentrating to dodge, no attack will land on him.

Buggy even uses their attacks to hit the marines who have retreated. He runs to their positions, making the Admirals' attacks hit the retreating marines. The marines try to escape, but most of them are still caught in the attack ranges.

Even when Buggy moves to the marine area, the Admirals still don't hold back in their attacks. It's because Fujitora assists the Marines using his Gravity power. He helps them get away and even though they still get caught by the attacks, the damage they receive is not much because they've gone quite far.

However, Buggy's strategy to bring the battle to the Marines' location has succeeded to scatter and scare them. He is creating chaos to give the pirates an easier time to retreat. The Marines know his intention, but they can't do anything about it because they are busy enough now.

Light beams, ice attacks, punches, shockwaves, and flying rubbles keep coming toward Buggy. But he dodges all of them, making the Admirals frustrated. Right now, they are just destroying their base instead of defeating their enemy.

On the shore, the pirates are getting on their ships while still being attacked by marines' guns and cannons. Though because of Buggy's action that creates chaos among marines, the attacks on the pirates have reduced significantly. It gives them an easier time to get on the ships.

It doesn't take long for them to get on the ships and Buggy is still holding on during that time. He is enjoying his game of cats and mouse. Of course, he is the mouse being chased by 5 cats. But he is a tricky mouse and the cats still can't catch him after so long.

"CAPTAIN, WE'RE READY!"

Buggy looks at the port after Cricket calls him. He sees the Black Pearl is the only one left there while the other ships have retreated quite far. The Black Pearl is waiting for him, but he needs to shake the Admirals first before retreating.

He looks at the war between Big Mom Pirates and Red Hair Pirates that get assisted by his crew members. It still goes on because his crew members including Enel keep attacking Big Mom Pirates. This war almost stopped when Buggy destroyed Marineford's Plaza, but the Clowns kept attacking Big Mom Pirates to prevent the war from stopping.

Buggy grins while running to his ship and being chased by the Admirals. He doesn't even bother to attack them because his crewmates have taken care of it. They will shoot Black Pearl's railgun toward Marineford from such a close distance.

If it hits, then not only Marineford will be destroyed completely, a lot of Marines will be killed. That's why the 3 Admirals, Sengoku, and Garp stop pursuing Buggy. They need to block the railgun or the damage will be unimaginable.

The 5 of them along with Tsuru, Gion, and Chaton stand in the front. Other Vice Admirals stand behind them while the marine soldiers are commanded to lie on the ground. The Clown Pirates shoot their railgun and the lightning bullet flies at a very high speed toward the Marines.

*BOOM*

A massive explosion appears when the lightning bullet hits the Admirals in the front. The impact of that explosion creates a shockwave powerful enough to push Black Pearl back. Buggy even flies because of the shockwave because he hasn't reached the ship yet.

But he stabilizes himself midair and uses his version of Geppo to jump onto his ship. Everyone watches the powerful explosion with different expressions. The Clown Pirates are proud, but the others are mostly shocked and scared, especially the audience in Sabaody.

Their eyes get even wider when they see the destruction caused after the smoke and dust are gone. Marineford's port has disappeared and seawater fills it now. Clown Pirates' railgun has enough power to destroy a small island, after all.

Such power is already surprising, but the more surprising thing is that it got stopped. The destruction didn't go any further and stopped at where the Admirals and powerful Vice-Admirals stood. Their hands are extended in front of them just like when they stopped Whitebeard's quake attack some time ago.

They stopped the lightning bullet and even the impact of the explosion. Their defense was stopping the destruction from going even further. The ones on the front like the 3 Admirals are those who can use advanced Armament Haki while those who can only use normal haki are defending behind them while coating their bodies with normal armament haki.

Their defense succeeds, but not without a price. The railgun's attack was powerful enough to destroy a small island, it was much more powerful than Whitebeard's previous attack. Even the Admirals and co that blocked it couldn't completely negate the impact.

They actually got pushed back a few meters and their bodies still got injured. Such is proof of how powerful Black Pearl's railgun is. After all, that railgun is the result of Ruff's years of research.

Ruff is now a scientist on par with Vegapunk. It's just that their expertise is different. He gained a lot of knowledge when traveling around the world. The crew found a lot of ancient technology traces around the world, after all. That's why Ruff could improve the railgun to this level.

"Not bad, you guys. If you couldn't even protect your main base, then how will you protect the world? But well, it's all meaningless if you still can't defeat us."

Kizaru and Aokiji want to attack the Clown Pirates, but Sengoku stops them.

"Why are you stopping us, Sengoku-san?"

"It seems they want to leave. There's no need to chase them. It will only increase our loss."

"But if we just let them go like this, Marine's reputation will drop."

"You know that we can't win this with our current situation, don't you? We better save whatever we can save right now. If we have more casualties, it will be even harder for us. Remember, even after this war, we are still responsible to uphold justice."

Kizaru and Aokiji sigh as they watch Black Pearl gets away.

"CLOWN!"

But suddenly, Big Mom shouts while flying toward Black Pearl on Zeus. Her hair is burning and she holds her flaming sword. She leaves her battle with Shanks to attack Buggy who has gotten closer.

Buggy grins while waiting for Big Mom on his ship's railing. The others stay back to not get caught in the clash of these 2 Emperors. Also, they don't want to disturb their Captain's battle.

Big Mom arrives and swings her sword from above at Buggy who counters it just using 1 sword swung with his right hand even though Big Mom uses 2 hands. He really looks down on Big Mom's attack, but he can back it up because he can really stop it with one hand, and their blades aren't touching each other as they use advanced haki.

"Your swordsmanship is still trash as ever and your strength doesn't improve at all, Linlin. Seems like it's time for you to stop being a pirate."

"Damn clown bastard. You really like to spout nonsense every time we meet. Stop your bullshit! Just give me mother's picture."

"Don't you mean pieces of her picture?"

"!? YOU DARE?!"

"Why won't I? I even dare to make you into pieces."

Katakuri suddenly yells at his mother, telling her to move back, but it's too late. Buggy grins and sends a punch with his left hand toward Big Mom. His punch hits the air, but then cracks similar to Whitebeard's appear in the air that Buggy punched.

However, instead of broken cracks, the cracks that Buggy made are in cubic shapes. Then suddenly, Big Mom's big body, her cloud, sword, and even the sea behind her are getting chopped into cubes of different sizes and proportions. Buggy's awakened devil fruit has chopped Big Mom into pieces.

Katakuri's warning was too late and even if he wasn't late, Big Mom would still lose. After all, Buggy's Observation Haki is stronger than Katakuri. So obviously he could see the future better than Katakuri and he saw Katakuri warn his mother but Big Mom didn't retreat.

Buggy quickly gathers the pieces of Big Mom's head and reforms it. He pulls her head to him and lets the other parts of her body and homies fall into the sea. Her body parts immediately sink and the seawater starts to weaken her.

Buggy is holding her hair while grinning as she yells angrily at him. She still has so much energy even when her body is submerged in the sea. He raises her head and shows it to everyone. It stops the war between Big Mom Pirates and Red Hair Pirates immediately.

"Clown! What are you trying to do to Mama?"

"Isn't it obvious, Katakuri?"

Big Mom looks at Buggy furiously. There's no shred of fear or sign of giving up in her eyes at all. Buggy grins because this is how a person like Big Mom should behave.

"Goodbye then, Linlin. I'll make sure to take care of whatever you left."

Buggy stabs Big Mom's forehead without any hesitation. He used his advanced haki and even Pollux's Pressure power to pierce through Big Mom's hard skin and bone easily. Then his sword pierces her brain, killing her immediately.

This whole scene is shown to the whole world through the broadcast. One of the 4 Emperors of the Sea that rules a vast territory in New World has fallen not in the hands of Marines, but another Emperor, and he does it after destroying Marineford, showing his formidable power.
