Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 324: Fighting Garp Again

Buggy and Garp send full-powered punches at each other as everyone stops their fight to see the clash. Both of them coat their fists with Haki right before the clash. Then their attacks meet, but their fists aren't touching each other.

*BOOM*

Their clash creates a very destructive impact, it's far greater than Buggy's clash against Big Mom. The whole ice field shakes and it gets destroyed into many parts. Everyone loses their footing and many fall into panic because they might sink into the sea.

Kuzan moves fast and immediately freezes the whole area again. He is saving the pirates too with this, but it's not his intention. His goal is just to save the marine soldiers, the pirates are just coincidentally there.

To make sure that the frozen sea won't get destroyed easily, Kuzan increase the ice's volume. It is now wider, deeper, and he increases its toughness. The Marine soldiers' lives depend on the ice, after all.

"Well, thanks for the help," says Palu who now stands on higher ground.

"I don't do this for you guys, it just ends up that way. But if those 2 monsters keep fighting like this, then we all will drown," says Kuzan.

Another strong clash happens between Buggy & Garp now. But they toned it down, so it only affects the area around them. Everyone who stands close to them gets away to avoid their clashes' impacts that can kill them.

Buggy keeps exchanging punches with Garp without avoiding them. He wants to show the Marine that he is strong enough to fight Garp head-on. Avoiding Garp's attacks will show that he doesn't have the power to handle Garp.

Buggy knows the Marine & WG are still looking down on his & his crew's power. They think that The Clown Pirates won't be on Whitebeard & Big Mom Pirates levels without their advanced weapons. It's time to prove them wrong, so Buggy fights Garp like this.

Garp is the perfect opponent to show the world that Buggy deserves his Emperor Title. If he can at least match Garp, then he has shown that he is strong enough to compete against Whitebeard & Big Mom. Many people are still looking down on him because he is too young compared to those veterans, after all.

But Buggy doesn't just want to match Garp, he wants to defeat Garp. One of his dreams is to surpass Roger in battle power. But Roger has died, so he can only do it by defeating Roger's rivals.

Whitebeard, Garp, Sengoku, Big Mom, Shiki, or other big names that have fought Roger. The time when he can defeat them all easily is the time he surpasses Roger. However, he needs to be fast or they will get weaker as they get older, especially Whitebeard who will get sickly in a few years.

"What's wrong, kid? Your punches get weaker," says Garp while smirking.

"I just matched your punches that get weaker too. Maybe your muscles have withering because of old age. Do you need to rest?" asks Buggy mockingly.

Garp just scoffs and strikes Buggy again with another super strong punch. Buggy also faces it head-on again with his own punch. Their battle keeps going like that for some time. They keep exchanging punches against punches that shake the whole area. While the 2 have a deadly battle, the others start their battles again. There are still many enemies there so they need to fight. There won't be a victory if they just watch Buggy's fight against Garp.

Cricket continues to fight Sakazuki but he focuses on defending while moving away. He tries to take the battle away from the others because Sakazuki's magma is too dangerous. He also can't go all out if his crewmates are threatened by the magma that splashes in the clash.

As for Palu, he just fights without any burden because Kuzan isn't ruthless like Sakazuki. Both of them are careful with their attacks so as to not affect their comrades. Kuzan is now using his haki-covered hands against Palu's Warhammer and he is actually very good at using his hands.

Enel & Borsalino also fights without care, it can even be called reckless. They move everywhere as they fight and they hit their comrades sometimes. But they mostly fight in the air and they don't hit their comrades that strongly because the other will defend when someone almost hit their comrades. They keep one another in check.

Meanwhile, Mantis and Tsuru finally fight after only observing each other for quite some time. Tsuru is barehanded against Mantis who uses her staff. They are still not going all out because they are still observing each other even now.

Mantis has known Tsuru's devil fruit power, but she is still surprised by how the old woman uses it. Tsuru uses her Wash Wash Fruit's power to deflect Mantis's attacks before attacking. She uses her Wash Wash Fruit to make her hands slippery, so Mantis's attacks keep getting redirected.

But Tsuru also still can't land any hit at Mantis just like how Mantis can't really land any hit on her. Mantis is very agile with her movements and she has great reflexes. She can evade a surprise attack from Tsuru at a very close range.

"What a slippery girl," says Tsuru after Mantis kept avoiding her attacks.

"Why don't you look at the mirror, aunty?" asks Mantis back.

"Call me sister, little girl," says Tsuru while attacking Mantis using her open palm.

"As if I will call someone my mother's age a sister," says Mantis while crouching and attacking Tsuru's feet.

Tsuru evades and spins midair before using Soru and Geppo at the same time to shoot herself toward Mantis. They are very close, so it's really hard for Mantis to evade that. But she still manages to do it by rolling to the side.

*BOOM*

Tsuru doesn't use her devil fruit ability now, she is using Shigan. Her finger hits the ice and punctures it easily. A deep small hole gets created before cracks spread everywhere from the spot that she hits.

"Damn, a veteran's Rokushiki is at a whole different level than those half-assed Marine officers. I never saw a Shigan this powerful. It's also the first time I see someone combine Geppo & Soru and then used Shigan immediately. So this is the reason you can keep Garp & Sengoku in check," says Mantis before sighing in relief because she didn't get hit by that.

"Well, I think you do the same in your crew too," says Tsuru while taking her finger out.

"Yeah, there are always idiots anywhere," says Mantis.

"Agree," says Tsuru before they fight again.

Meanwhile, the other executives are facing Marine Officers who came too. Manba fights Rear Admiral Dobberman who they met a few weeks ago. Deon fights Rear Admiral Dalmatian, Brook fights Momonga, and Jude fights Gion.

As for Magnus, he is facing several Marine Officers at the same time. Rear Admiral Onigumo and Yamakaji lead 6 Marine Captains to go against the giant. Magnus hasn't even transformed yet, but the Marine officers already have a hard time against him.

They need at least a Vice-Admiral to handle Magnus, but they are short on people. With so many pirate crews moving in New World, the Marine could only send 5 Vice-Admirals to stop The Clown Pirates. They made up for the Vice-Admiral's place using 2 Rear Admirals and a few other officers, but it isn't enough.

"What's wrong, Marines? Is this the power of your justice? If so, then I can see why your justice never stands tall. You didn't even send John or other Giants to face me. I don't know if you are confident, arrogant, or just overestimating yourself. But I know for sure that you are underestimating me. Don't look down on a Warrior of Elbaf!" says Magnus seriously before he finally transforms.

*BOOM*

Buggy & Garp exchange their punches again before they look at the transformed Magnus.

Buggy smirks and says, "Well, I think you should say goodbye to those officers."

"Not before your crew says it to you," says Garp before they clash again. The war continues and no winner can be seen yet.
