Chapter 389: Shattering The World
A war between 2 giant crews is going to happen after a long time. The Marines and World Government are on high alert right now because they always keep tabs on the Emperors. They almost missed this war because they always missed Clown Pirates' movements.
But Buggy's brief clash against Whitebeard caused an impact too big to be unnoticed. It could even be seen from some islands nearby. Of course, the Marines would investigate it and they found out about the war.
So they followed both crews and now they are staying near an uninhabited island. There are 3 ships led by a Vice Admiral and 2 Rear Admirals. All of them have been ordered to just observe from afar and prohibited from going anywhere near the island because none of them will be able to handle the impact of the war.
Just as they start observing, they suddenly hear an earth-shattering sound. Then a strong shockwave moves across the sea and hits their ship, pushing them back a little. Birds' and animals' cries can be heard even from their positions.
"What was that?" asks a Marine soldier with a terrified expression.
"Look well, kiddo, this is the reason why we were ordered to keep our distance from the war. The 2 people who caused that can destroy us just by fighting among themselves. This is the power of individuals who compete for the title of The Strongest Man in The World," says the old Vice-Admiral.
Even the Rear Admirals are shaking in fear after feeling that shockwave. They can't even imagine how strong the clash was to cause such an impact. All of them are very glad they don't get any closer to the island now.
On the island, Buggy and Whitebeard have started their battle. They moved first, ahead of their crew members because this war is theirs. There's no point in sending their crew members first before they make their moves. It will just prolong the war and give the Marines a chance to interrupt.
Their clash destroyed the landscape around them even though they haven't gone all out. Even their crew members who have lived with them for years need to stay far away from them. Buggy & Whitebeard fight on another side of the island while their crew will fight on the other side.
The Marine fleet stays on the side where the crew will fight. But the impact still reached them and even terrified them. So the crew members can feel an even greater impact that even made some of them fall from the tremor.
"Gurarara, you've really improved, Red Nose kid," says Whitebeard with a sinister grin.
Buggy also grins and says, "You haven't declined too, old man. I'm very relieved now. You are now the only one who can be the benchmark for my goal to surpass Captain Roger's power."
"As I thought, that's your objective all this time. I've interacted a lot with you to know that you aren't the type to just challenge people mindlessly like Kaido. So you want to surpass Roger. Roger isn't here anymore, so you are using his rivals to see if you have surpasses him. Kaido, Sengoku, Garp, Shiki, and now me. I don't know why you leave Linlin out of your list, but this is very interesting," says Whitebeard while grinning.
"I have another plan for that hag, and for me, you are the best benchmark. I've seen Captain Roger defeat the others, but you and Garp were the only ones he couldn't defeat completely," says Buggy.
"You have defeated Garp, so now I'm the only one left to defeat, is it? Aren't you being too much for this old body, kid?" asks Whitebeard.
"Too much? It only happens because you kept refusing my challenges," says Buggy.
"I just didn't want to play games," says Whitebeard.
Buggy grins and says, "Then let's start this game that you've finally chosen to play."
They stop their chitchat because they've heard the sound of battles from the other side. Their crews have started fighting, so they need to begin theirs too. They get ready again and now they will fight seriously.
Both of them coat their weapons with Armament Haki as they get into their battle stances. They stay silent for a while before they rush at each other. In just a second, they've reached each other and swung their sword at each other.
Their weapons almost hit each other but stopped just a few inches before touching them. Black lightning-like effect sparks between their weapons and spread around them. They are using high-level advanced Haki that shakes the entire island and the sea around it.
The ground gets destroyed, trees get uprooted, and even the clouds are dispersing. Their clash's impact is greater than before and it shakes the world quite literally. Whitebeard's Quake power and Buggy's Splitting power are clashing and creating great destruction.
Both of them get pushed back quite far and almost fall on their backs. They grin widely and rush toward each other again to continue their battle. They clash again, but now their weapons are touching and they keep swinging their weapons with deadly blows.
The crew members who fight on another side of the island can't fight properly because the ground keeps shaking violently. The ground is cracking frequently, making them can't stand properly, not to mention fighting. They sigh and look at each other before nodding in unison.
"Let's just stop. We can't do a proper war like this," says Marco.
"Yeah, let's just drink," says Cricket.
The crews return to their ships and then The Clown Pirates go to Moby Dick while carrying some barrels of alcohol. They all drink together and just chitchat like old friends. It's an unreal scene that won't be anywhere.
The crews are drinking while their Captains are trying to kill each other. Even The Marines are speechless by this scene that they see through their scopes. They've never seen anything like this in their whole lives.
"Uhm, Vice Admiral," says a Marine Captain with a stunned expression.
"Don't ask anything," says the old Vice Admiral.
They shut their mouths and just keep observing the pirates who are laughing on Moby Dick as the world is shaking. No one knows what to say, so they just watch. They don't even know what they need to report to their higher-ups because this is just too absurd.
Meanwhile, on the island, Buggy and Whitebeard are still attacking each other with their deadly skills. Buggy coats his attacks with his Splitting power while Whitebeard coats his attacks with Quake Power. Their abilities are flying everywhere and destroying their surroundings.
The trees and ground are cracking, jolting, and crumbling because of Whitebeard's power. They also get cut by Buggy's Splitting power that flies everywhere like blades. The whole island gets leveled in a short time, but only The Marines are shocked by this.
Buggy and Whitebeard are standing quite far from each other now. They've pushed each other in their last all-out attacks. But they don't immediately fight again and just stand in their positions to catch their break.
"As I thought, I still can't cut Tremor, or should I say, Force," says Buggy while grinning.
"Don't be greedy, brat. Not everything in this world can be cut. Even if you manage to cut Force, there are still things you can't cut," says Whitebeard with an unpleased tone.
"You've really got old, Whitebeard. Devil Fruit's ability is something beyond our imagination. Its power depends on the user. It might be limitless if the user is very proficient at utilizing his Devil Fruit ability," says Buggy while grinning.
Whitebeard still has that displeased look as he says, "I don't like that grin on your face. It's like you are saying you will be able to cut anything. Can you cut even time?"
Buggy gets ready to fight again and says, "I don't want to say I can't. It will limit my growth because I will think that I've reached my limit. I like to think that my ability can still grow so I will be able to keep growing."
Whitebeard just scoffs, "Crazy bastard. I can say that you have surpassed Roger in terms of craziness."
"I will take that as a compliment," says Buggy before attacking Whitebeard again. Their world-shattering battle still hasn't ended yet.
