Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

480. Clown Supremacy

Buggy dashes toward Imu at a very high speed that he gets from his Soru-like movement skill that's already very fast because of his physical power. But with the enhancement of the half-dragon's power boost and lightning, his speed becomes unmatched.

He reaches Imu almost instantly and starts attacking immediately. Imu dodges Buggy's sword that is thrusted at his face by tilting his head to the side. But a powerful tail attack came at his head as soon as he dodged because Buggy had predicted this.

Imu widens his eyes as he knows he can't dodge this. But simply blocking it is also very risky because of Buggy's awakened devil fruit ability that can chop him easily. So Imu generates white fire between his head and Buggy's half-dragon tail to act like a cushion.

A big white fireball forms very quickly in the tail's path. The tail hits it and breaks it into small cubes before slamming into Imu's face. Although it can't stop Buggy's tail attack, the white fireball manages to slow it down, giving Imu time to make an advanced haki shield that blocks Buggy's attack completely.

Imu gets away from Buggy immediately to avoid getting attacked again. Luckily for him, Buggy stops there because something happens to his tail. The part that hit Imu's white fireball is now covered by thick ice, it freezes.

"How strange. A cold flame that can even freeze a hot body part this quickly. No wonder it could slow my attack just now. Seems like you still have a lot of hidden cards."

Buggy whips his tail and shatters the ice that doesn't damage his tail at all. This ice is cold, but it surely isn't as powerful as Aokiji's ice even though Imu's flame is much more powerful than Ace's flame. Well, maybe because this is not real ice, but a very cold flame that can freeze something.

It might be a good attack against weaker people, but it is only good as a surprise attacks for strong ones like Buggy. Buggy thinks that it must be the reason Imu only used it just now. It won't hurt Buggy, after all, so there's no need to use it before this.

Though now, Buggy is very curious about the other colors. The black flame is very destructive, the red flame is very hot, and the white flame is very cold. Imu's flame still has other colors and they surely have different properties which makes Buggy curious.

"Wait! If each flame color has its property, doesn't that make each color equal to a devil fruit ability? If each flame color is like a devil fruit ability, then just how many abilities he has?"

Buggy frowns when he realizes this, but he doesn't panic. Imu has shown 3 different colored flames with different attributes. There are some other colors, so if they have different attributes, it will be equal to Imu having multiple devil fruits.

Still, the other attributes shouldn't be too strong for a battle against someone like him and some attributes might not be combative power. But there might be some annoying abilities among those even though they can't be used against him directly in the battle.

Buggy stops thinking about that and attacks Imu again. It is something he needs to be mindful of, but he shouldn't think too much about it. His goal won't change, after all. He needs to defeat Imu to get what he wants.

They fight closely and it's clear that Buggy has the upper hand. Imu still can handle them somehow, but he is struggling more and more. Buggy's attacks are getting stronger, fiercer, and sharper as time goes on.

Imu is getting pushed back by Buggy's attacks. He is handling those attacks well at first, but it gets more difficult even though he keeps getting away. It's really difficult for Imu to keep up with Buggy's attacks and eventually, an attack lands on him.

Imu falls into Buggy's little trap. Buggy makes a feint left jab toward Imu's face which makes Imu use his arms to block it. But that jab never came. Instead, Buggy's powerful right-hand punch slams into Imu's stomach, making the demon king spit a mouthful of blood.
