Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 264: Fatty & Skelly

The team match Manba & Brook vs the twin knights starts to get interesting. Manba is focusing on defense while Brook is on offense. Even though Manba isn't used to defending, he is quite good at it.

Manba just uses a spear but he can hold against his opponent's shield & sword. He blocks all the shield attacks and evades the sword attacks. Well, to call it blocking is quite strange because all the shield attacks that he received seem to get absorbed as no impact was created by their clashes.

"Damn, what happened? My shield attacks aren't working and it doesn't even push him. It's as if I'm attacking a soft sponge," says Billy the Bearman.

"It must be his skill or maybe a devil fruit ability. Anyway, we just need to keep attacking them and find a way to win," says Millie, the cheetah-woman.

"Alright, that's the best plan for now," says Billy as he rushes at Manba.

Manba blocks Billy's shield with his spear again and says, "I heard you want to find a way to defeat us. Well, I hope you'll succeed before you get defeated yourself."

"Tch, don't get too full of yourself!" shouts Billy while swinging his sword at Manba.

Manba dodges the sword and coats his arms with A-Haki. Then he holds his spear beside him, ready to thrust it at Billy.

"I hope you're sturdy enough to try my weapon's new power. Impact!" says Manba as he thrust his spear at Billy.

Billy blocks the spear with his shield that has been covered by A-Haki.

*BOOM*

The clash of Manba's spear & Billy's shield surprisingly makes a big explosion. Of course, the explosion is going toward Billy's side and engulfs him. Well, to call it an explosion is not right because it's actually an impact.

"The Impact Dials work really well," says Manba as he looks at his spear.

That's right, there are some Impact Dials installed in Manba's spear. There are also some Axe Dials that can absorb sharp attacks. Ruff was the one who made this concept and Gil created the weapon.

The Dials were the ones causing Billy's attack to get nullified. Manba has stored a lot of impact energy from Billy's attacks and releases it at once. Ruff has made it so that the impact will be released from the tip of the spear with some mechanisms.

"BILLY!" shouts Millie as she quickly withdraws from her fight against Brook to check on her twin brother.

Billy is lying on the floor without his armor & shield that get destroyed by Manba's attack. But he is still pretty much intact because he protected his body with Haki at the right time. His Bear devil fruit ability also make him a lot tougher and helped him defend against Manba's attack.

"Shit, what kind of power was that," says Billy as he stands up slowly because his whole body hurts.

Even if he could defend against Manba's attack, the strong impact still damaged his internal organs. If not for his shield, armor, A-Haki, and Bear devil fruit ability, his body will be broken apart. That's just how strong the impact energy that Manba has accumulated.

"Hey, Brook, what do you think about that?" asks Manba.

"Yohohoho, I think it was very strong. As expected of Manba-san," says Brook.

"That was actually not my power but his power. The Impact Dial absorbed the power of his attacks and release it all at once. You can say he is doing this to himself," says Manba.

"Yoho? That is truly a magnificent weapon. It doesn't even get a scratch," says Brook while looking at the spear.

"Yeah, Gil must've made it using high-quality materials. But Brook, you need to get serious too. It will be troublesome if we drag this battle for too long," says Manba.

"I understand, I will get very serious now. I was still hesitating because my opponent is a lady but just like what Captain always said, not using all your power just because your opponent is a woman is just a form of disrespect toward them," says Brook as he walks forward.

The twin knights have stood up and are ready to fight again. Manba & Brook also have gotten ready to continue the battle. Both of them are determined to finish this battle in this round and the twins think so too.

After a short silence, both parties rush at each other to clash. Billy only has his sword now so he will focus on attacking just like the other 3. So now the 4 of them are focusing on offense.

Billy gets in front of his sister and swings his big sword vertically to the floor. His attack creates a big slash attack that cleaves the floor and keeps extending toward Manba & Brook. He tries to attack them from afar and damage or at least split them.

But he doesn't realize something, Manba has Axe Dials on his spear. So Manba blocks the incoming slash attack while Brook keeps moving forward from the side. The slash attack gets absorbed by Manba's spear, making Billy widens his eyes in disbelief.

But his shock almost cost him his life because Brook has arrived in front of him. Brook slashes his sword at Billy and it will cut his neck if not for Mille who blocks it with her lances. Billy comes out of his stupor and punches Brook but it gets blocked by Brook's sword.

Brook still gets pushed back though because Billy's power is high. He can't even take a short rest because Mille chases him and attacks him using her lances. Brook does his best to block and evades but Millie is very fast so he still gets hit.

He is saved when Manba recreates Billy's slash attack to attack Millie. She retreats and Brook now has time to catch a breath. The battle really won't be easy just because they are more determined to win.

"Brook, use your power. I will hold them," says Manba.

Brook gets silent for a moment before he says, "I understand. Leave it to me."

Manba grins and runs to attack the twins by himself. He is very fast even though he is fat and he can reach the twins' position in a short time. The twins attack Manba at the same time but none of their attacks land on him.

'How could he be so agile with that body. I am very proud of my speed after I get the power of a cheetah. But this guy can dodge all my fast attacks easily even though Billy also helps me. Is he also have a speed-type devil fruit power?' thinks Millie in disbelief.

"I don't know what you really think but I think I understand. If you think I am a devil fruit user then you are wrong because I am not," says Manba while evading.

Millie widens her eyes before she shouts, "NO WAY! That kind of movement isn't possible without devil fruit abilities."

Manba grins and says, "Well, it's up to you to believe it or not. I'm just telling you the truth. Even if I look like this, I am very confident in my agility and my Observation Haki, you know. Also, I don't think you have the time to worry about me."

After Manba said that, he jumps to the side and the twins can see Brook has gotten closer with a strong freezing aura around him. He holds his sword on his left side, still sheathes in its scabbard.

Brook pulls the sword a little and says, "Phrase d'armes: Orchestra!"

He pulls the sword really fast and swings it in a difficult motion. When he finishes, a G-clef shape appears from his sword trajectory. It moves toward the twins and hit them at the same time before freezing their bodies.

But it's still not enough to defeat them and someone has anticipated it. Manba runs from the side and moves past their front while swinging his spear horizontally. He cuts their torso and blood spurts from their bodies but it freezes immediately because of Brook's freezing aura attack.

The twins lost consciousness as their front bodies freeze completely after the freezing aura spread. Brook & Manba's combined attacks have defeated the twins without much trouble.
