Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 277: Awakening

The surprised Kaido suddenly falls to the ground after he moves past Buggy. He doesn't know what happened and tries to get up, but he can't. He just falls again so he turns around, but then a strange thing happens.

Kaido's left body & right body face each other after he turns his body. He asses the situation and finally he realizes what happened. His body has been split in half vertically but there's no wound and blood on where his body gets split.

"You, what did you do to me?" asks Kaido with a shaky voice. His haughty & prideful tone has disappeared and there's only disbelief & a little fear in his voice.

Buggy doesn't reply and just looks at his left hand that he swung just now. He looks serious as he clenches and opens his palm. But then his serious face turns into an excited expression and his lips curl up into a wide grin.

"So this is devil fruit awakening, what a great sensation," says Buggy excitedly.

Kaido's eyes shake when he hears that. He knows that strong devil fruit users can awaken their devil fruit abilities in a difficult battle after they reach their devil fruit's maximum potential before awakening.

But it is quite unbelievable that his opponent's devil fruit awakens when fighting him. What makes him even more shocked is the fact that Buggy's devil fruit ability before awakening is not that good.

Buggy can utilize his devil fruit well before its awakening, but just being able to split his body is not a powerful ability in Kaido's eyes. But the weak ability turns out to be very absurd as it can split other people's bodies without wounding them.

Kaido looks at Buggy who just stays silent, pondering something. He thinks that it's his chance while Buggy gets distracted by the awakening. Kaido tries to feel his tail and after he gets the control, he uses it to stab Buggy from behind.

However, as his tail touches Buggy's back, it gets split into many small cubes. He sees Buggy smirk while looking back at him. Buggy knew he would attack so Buggy has prepared for it.

But Kaido is surprised that Buggy can master his awakening ability to this extent already right in a short time. Usually, a new awakened Paramecia user could only use their new awakened ability using their hands or at most feet, not just upon contact, on the back nonetheless.

Buggy turns around and raises his left hand which is still functional as his right hand is broken. He swings it horizontally in the direction of Kaido's neck. There is a distance between him & Kaido's neck so he doesn't touch it, but Kaido's neck gets cut, separating the head & body.

Then Buggy raises his left palm and the 2 parts of Kaido's head that have been split in half and get separated from the body float. Buggy moves the fingers on his left hand slightly and Kaido's separated head is combined again into a normal head, without body, of course.

"*Whistle* Dang, I can control the objects that have been split by my ability. It's similar to Ope Open Fruit but I don't need to make Room. There must be limitations like range but I don't know the limit yet. There should be some other things too, but I will try to find the limits after this war. For now, let's play," says Buggy while grinning.

"You, are you Joy Boy? The one who can defeat me is just Joy Boy. Impossible, Joy Boy shouldn't be someone like you," says Kaido in disbelief.

"Joy Boy? The one mentioned in Fishman Island's poneglyph?" asks Buggy confusedly.

Buggy thinks for a while before he smirks mischievously, "Yeah, I am Joy Boy, you bastard. What will you do about it?"

Buggy's careless remarks make Kaido angry because Kaido is sure that Buggy isn't Joy Boy. Buggy couldn't care less about Kaido's opinion about him being Joy Boy. Honestly, he knows who has the highest possibility to be Joy Boy, but he just can't let go of the chance to mess with Kaido.

He puts Kaido's head on the ground, ignoring Kaido's angry yells. Then Buggy detached his left wrist and touches Kaido's left body parts that has been separated from the right parts. When he touches it and uses his devil fruit ability, Kaido's left body parts get split into some cubes.

After that, he moves his detached hand to Kaido's right body parts. He straightened his palm & fingers then swings it a few times like a sword at Kaido's right body parts. Different from before, Kaido's right body parts get cut following the swings of Buggy's hand.

"So touch or punch make the target gets split into cubes while swinging my hand like a sword will cut the target like a sword cut too," says Buggy while still grinning widely.

Buggy reattaches his left hand and then raises it in front of him. Kaido's body which has been split into many parts except the head float in front of Buggy. Buggy plays with his fingers and the split body parts fly around, making Kaido even more furious.

It's not the end yet though because Buggy starts to attach the body parts randomly. When he finishes, Kaido's body parts turn into a big ball that floats in the air. It makes Kaido truly enraged because it's clear that Buggy is humiliating him, not just defeating him.

Kaido tries to break the ball by deactivating his devil fruit transformation, but his body still looks like a ball, just a little smaller. Transforming into his full dragon form also just makes the ball a lot bigger.

All his struggles are futile and he can't even move his body properly because the body parts of the same organs are all over the place. Buggy has chopped Kaido's body finely so the same organ parts are located randomly in the ball, making it impossible for Kaido to move.

Buggy laughs satisfiedly like a maniac as he sees Kaido's fruitless struggle. He feels a big sense of accomplishment as he looks at Kaido's miserable self. The man who will be known as the strongest creature is being played by his fingers.

"Well, Kaido, just be a good boy and stay there," says Buggy as he attaches Kaido's head to a boulder and throws Kaido's body away from the head.

Kaido still yells and curses at Buggy but none of his words enters Buggy's brain. Buggy's body suddenly sways back and forth before he falls to the front. His energy has been fully depleted now and he can't even keep his consciousness, so he passes out.

Sometime later, Oden, Jude, Deon, and Ushimaru arrive at Buggy's battle location. They see the destruction around them caused by the 2 monsters' battle. If the 2 fight near a town, then it will be destroyed and everyone there will die.

Luckily that doesn't happen so they are very relieved as they look for Buggy & Kaido. They find the 2 of them easily but they are very shocked when they see Kaido's condition. His head is severed and sticking on a boulder while a ball that looks like his body is rolling around far from his head.

They know the ball is Kaido's body because they can see some body parts that stand out like feet or fingers. The most shocking thing is that Kaido is still alive even though his head is separated from his body and he is looking at Oden silently right now.

The group then sees Buggy lying unconsciously on the ground. Jude & Deon immediately run to Buggy and check his condition. There are many scary injuries, especially the burn on his hands, the broken right arm, and damaged internal organs.

But Buggy is still alive and his life isn't threatened now. He will be fine if he gets treated soon so they need to call Manba. But they can't do it now because they don't know if the war on Onigashima has finished or not. Then suddenly, Deon's denden mushi rang off.
