Chapter 38: Buggy The Pirate...

[ 3 days later... ]

Sukuna sat in his throne room, Nami and Nojiko on their knees in front of him, each of the girls licking one of his lollipops, and in his hand, a newspaper.

Nami and Nojiko exchanged glances, wondering why Sukuna decided to read the newspaper, he had never done that before, only if something caught his attention...

"Mugiwara~"

Sukuna smirked, his eyes staying on Luffy's bounty picture, of course, Luffy was not the main focus of the newspaper, it was actually Sukuna himself, with his new bounty.

"2,570,098,993 Belly for my head, dead or alive, not bad~"

Nami and Nojiko almost choked on their loli pops, their faces covered in shock at the words they heard, how is that possible to get such a high bounty? Arlong only had 20 Million...

Sukuna could not help but sneer at the Marines's attempt to give his head a value, it's like anyone can actually take this bounty and turn it in for some money...

They must be high as fuck if they think anyone would dare to come and try to take his bounty, but it did not matter, Sukuna looked forward to getting hunted down for once.

"Now that I think about it, I wonder how Buggy is doing~"

Sukuna could not help but Recall Buggy, he spared him thinking that he would come after him, but it looks like he overestimated the guy, next time he meets him, he will kill him~

[ Rusukaina ]

On a huge island teeming with dangerous beasts, loud banging sounds that shook the whole island were heard, even the clouds in the sky were starting to part from random stray attacks.

"Split-Split! Nuclear Bomb!"

Suddenly, a huge heat wave appeared in the middle of the air, just above the island, and with a bang and a flashbang, the whole island was bathed in an intense orange light.

A huge fireball appeared first, and it released a huge shockwave carrying intense heat next, dispersing the clouds in the sky, along with throwing the huge animals on the island into the air.

Rayleigh looked up into the air, a proud smirk on his face as he took in Bugyy's look, especially the sword in his hand, bathed in dark Haki, and the energy of his fruit.

Boom!

With a loud thud, Buggy fell onto the floor, the ground caving into a small pit under his legs, his long blue hair shrouding his eyes, while his noticeably smaller red nose glowed.

"Good job Buggy, as you are right now... even I could not beat you without giving it my all"

Rayleigh did not lie, as of now, Buggy officially entered the ranks of the strong, his haki grew to an advanced level in 2 years, and his fruit awakened.

The moment he set foot on this island to train under Rayleigh, his life was at risk 24/7, and he had to fight beasts that could kill him in one single strike, pushing him past his limit.

He was not Luffy, he did not have the rubber body to take less damage, so if he was hit even once, he was going to get killed, of course, Rayleigh would not let that happen.

But he did not know that, so under the watchful eyes of death, Buggy grew stronger every day, awakening and mastering both his armament and observation of Haki in just half a year.

And then awakened his haki in another half year, the rest of the second year was around mastering his powers and making sure his body was stronger, along with his third Haki.

"Buggy, I don't want to say it, but you might have more talent than even Shanks, i do not know why you never trained before..."

Buggy cleared his fists, lightning surrounding it for a brief moment, and he felt the power flowing into his hand, and then he thought back to the man who changed him.

His cold and mocking eyes looked down at him, while Buggy's eyes landed on his crew, no, his friends, lying on the ground, bathing in their own blood.

While he was spared, by the same man who destroyed everything he had, if Rayleigh did not show up in time to save him, then he would have also died on the sea...

"Rayleigh... Thank you for teaching me these 2 years, but I think it's time for me to go"

Buggy's cold eyes looked at Rayleigh, and he received a nod, with a purposeful step, Buggy walked towards the shore, every animal avoiding him along the way.

[ next day ]

Boom!

Thunder!

Lightning raged across the sea, a huge thundercloud rolling in the sky as Whitebeard's full-powered conqueror's haki broke free from his body, crushing the deck around him into full of cracks.

In his shaking hand was a newspaper, with the news of Ace's defeat, along with the one who caught him, Blackbeard becoming a warlord of the sea.

"Teach!..."

A low growl escaped Whitebeard's mouth, his eyes glazed over as he recalled the past, Teach kneeling in front of him, with tears in his eyes as he begged for him to let him join the Whitebeard pirates.

He then recalled the face of Thatch, and Ace, and he could not help but think that it was his own fault for letting all this happen, he did not notice Teach's intentions, and he did not stop Ace.

"Everybody, gather up!"

The surroundings shook, the ocean getting restless, while a huge tsunami that appeared, destroyed the Navy ships, surveying the Whitebeard pirates, sinking them.

[ In Alabasta ]

Sukuna smirked, his face showing a thoughtful expression as he looked at the newspaper, and only a single thought appeared in his head, well it was 2 actually.

It was Sabaody Archipelago, where a celestial dragon is gonna be in 3 days, and also the amount of sin points he would get for killing him, and also Boa Hancock hearing about his news and falling for him.

"It's about time I go and capture the most beautiful Pokemon in the world~"

Sukuna muttered, but he was in no hurry to do that, he could arrive there in less than a second if he wanted to, he was faster than Kizaru after all, and his enhanced senses and observation Haki allowed him to react to his speed.

Unlike Kizaru who has to stop each time after using his full speed, since he can't keep up with the speed himself.

With a sigh, Sukuna stood up, and walked outside, where the destroyed City of Alubarna and other places were no more, instead it was a place aking to a paradise.

Using Cursed Speech, he was able to revitalise the whole island, and the pesky sand around the place was replaced by a fresh spring breeze, with green fields everywhere.

Along with small lakes, and rivers going through the island, even the building styles changed, resembling the style of a highly expensive and luxurious area, almost like the celestial dragons themselves live here.

This did bring the fear of people down him a lot, but that quickly changed when he started killing anyone who tried to refuse his rule, bringing their fear back.

Sukuna did of course only do that for himself, because who wants to live in a sandy country? Not him, and so he took over the largest country in the world, an island larger than all of China.

Sukuna turned around, going into his room where all the girls were, just lying down and chilling, reading books, because Sukuna couldn't care less what they do, they just have to be on the island.

Nami still writes her map, and Nojiko started planting Orange gardens in the back of the palace, where Sukuna made a huge football field-sized garden.

Tashigi and Gion on the other hand, are training every day, especially Tashigi, who started getting stronger at an alarming rate, reaching the strength of Smoker in half a month.

But that's not an impressive thing regardless, Sukuna looked at all of them with his observation Haki, and he smirked.

_____________________________________________________

Guys, I searched it up, and I found out that Alabasta is about 1.2 times the size of China.

So Sukuna now basically owns one of the largest habituated islands in the world, since there must be islands much larger out there, overwhelmed with dangerous animals.

Leave a power stone!
