Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

446. Group of Emperors

Buggy attacks again, but now he becomes more serious than before. He swings his sword calmly to send a vertical slash attack at Kizaru. The Admiral can't dodge it because it will hit the marines behind him, so he blocks it.

But Buggy's attack is serious, so the power behind that calm swing is much more powerful than Mihawk's attack which got stopped by Jozu. Swordsmen at Buggy's and Mihawk's levels don't need any flashy movements to create powerful attacks. They just need to swing calmly and they can already create an attack that can cut an island in half.

Buggy's attack doesn't push Kizaru, but the Admiral is exerting all his power to send that attack to the sky like Jozu. When the slash attack reaches the sky, it explodes and the impact sends all the clouds far away. Even the clouds on Sabaody are getting pushed too, that's just how much power is hidden in Buggy's attack.

While Kizaru was stopping his attack, Buggy was attacking Aokiji. The iceman used his ice saber to fight against Buggy. His ice saber was completely black because he used his armament haki at full power. This also means that he used his advanced armament haki on his ice saber.

Aokiji knows that he can't win against Buggy without his advanced armament haki. His reason to learn this level of haki was also because of Buggy. When Buggy defeated Whitebeard, the Marines realized that their power at that time won't be enough anymore.

So everyone including Aokiji needed to be stronger and they trained harder since then. Both he and Kizaru who were very lazy about training started training harder. They actually have started training harder since Sakazuki's death because he is their equal, and if he could die in Buggy's hands, that means they too can meet the same fate, so they need to train harder to avoid it.

Right now, both Kizaru and Aokiji are very strong that each one of them could win against Garp in his prime. Garp himself said this, but even he isn't sure that would be enough to defeat Buggy. He himself has faced Buggy and lost years ago and Buggy is still far from his prime age, so Buggy could still grow stronger.

That being said, Kizaru and Aokiji who have surpassed Garp's power are the only ones among Marines who have the chance to win against Buggy now. However, it doesn't mean the battle is easy because even now they are struggling while fighting him together.

Aokiji tries to freeze Buggy, but it doesn't work, and Kizaru isn't fast enough to land any attack on Buggy. Buggy's observation haki is one of the strongest now. His advanced observation haki that lets him see a few seconds into the future is helping him see what Kizaru will do, so he can handle Kizaru's speed easily.

Their battle is intense because none of them can slack off in their attacks and defense. Buggy can't let his guard down even a little bit even though he seems to take it easy. If he stops using his advanced observation haki, then the Admirals' attacks will hit him and without advanced armament, he can't injure them nicely.

To make things harder for him, Aokiji and Kizaru have very good teamwork. Their attacks are calculated and they don't hinder each other even though they rarely work together. It's like they specially train to fight together to defeat Buggy or something.

The 3 of them start to land more hits on each other as the battle goes on. By each other, it means that Aokiji and Kizaru also hit each other. Buggy redirects their attacks many times, making their attacks hit their ally. Still, they don't stop attacking, so their battle is very fierce and intense.

Another fierce battle also happens near Buggy's battle. Cricket's battle against Garp is just as destructive as the 3's battle. It's because the 2 of them have the most raw physical power among everyone here. In other words, they are brutes who have too many muscles.
