Chapter 428: Bullying The Kids

Chapter 428: Bullying The Kids

At night, the Straw Hats are surprised to see they are fine after being beaten up by Buggy. Wyper explains that this happens every day to them in this war. They never get seriously injured, except for him who overused his Reject Dial.

"It's like he was never serious against us as if he is just playing with us. The difference in power is just too much. Nothing we've done could injure him even one bit."

Wyper looks very frustrated and the Straw Hats can understand that. They've just fought Kuroko Buggy once, but they have felt the hopelessness already. Even so, they have started it, so they can't back down now.

The Sky people are preparing for another battle tomorrow, so the Straw Hats also prepare themselves. They still have 2 more days to defeat Kuroko Buggy. If they can't defeat him in 2 days, then he will take the gold in the City of Gold which means he will destroy it, and they can't let that happen.

Although the Straw Hats don't have anything to do with the place, they still want to fight. Not only do they want the gold too, but they also want to explore this place peacefully, and they can't do it without defeating Kuroko Buggy. Well, even if they don't choose to fight, Buggy will chase them and force them to fight him.

The next day, they attack Kuroko Buggy who camps outside the City of Gold again. Wyper doesn't join because his hands are broken, so he needs to rest. But they have more forces now because the Straw Hats will join them.

Even so, their attack on Kuroko Buggy today still doesn't work at all. Buggy is playing with them and overwhelming them till the end. He also plays with the Straw Hats now by only evading or defending their attacks until they get exhausted. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Then on the last day, Buggy is changing his method again. Instead of waiting for their attack, he is the one who launches the attack. He attacks their camp near the edge of Upper Yard and now he really goes on the offensive.

His attacks aren't powerful because he doesn't want to take them out too fast. He messes with them till the end, making them feel frustrated and hopeless. They can't even scratch him even after doing many things that surely could defeat Crocodile a few more times.

"Very disappointing, kiddos. If you are only this strong, then don't hope you will survive Grandline. You might reach the end of Paradise, but you'll surely get trashed in New World. All of you are not ready for the higher stages."

The Straw Hats look at Kuroko Buggy while lying on the ground after getting beaten up badly. Buggy now really beat them to pulps because this will be their last battle. There's no need to even mention this as a battle, it's just bullying.

"A cowardly sniper who can't shoot fast, a reindeer without good skills who only has power that isn't that much either, a woman who can grow her body parts but doesn't have enough power, a girl who kept running away, a kicker who get distracted easily by women, a swordsman with 3 swords who kept rushing without thinking, a fireman whose fire isn't that hot nor powerful, and a rubber man who only knows how to keep going who coincidentally is the Captain too but can't direct his crew members. You don't work well as a crew. Might as well call yourselves individual sailors who banded together. Such disappointment."

Kuroko Buggy turns around and walks away, but then Luffy shouts at him to wait. They still want to fight, so they try to get up slowly, but their bodies have gotten injured too much. Willpower alone won't be able to help them get up and fight again.

"I have advice for you. Sometimes you need to force yourselves to surpass your limits to win battles. But it's better to know your limits and not overestimate yourselves. As pirates, when you face strong opponents, it's either you surpass them or get killed by them. You need to be wise when you choose to either fight your enemies or leave them alone until you get stronger. Because most of the time, when you lose the battle, you'll also lose your lives."

Buggy spreads his Conqueror Haki after finishing his little speech. He knocks out the Shandians, Skypieans, and some of the Straw Hats. Only Luffy, Leo, Zoro, & Sanji remains conscious for a while before they also get knocked out with Leo & Luffy being last.

His Conqueror Haki has reached a level where he can even knock out other Conqueror Haki users who aren't that proficient with their power yet. Not to mention knocking those who haven't even awakened their Conqueror Haki like Luffy & Zoro. There isn't any sign of a clash too because they haven't awakened it.

'Hmm, I'm curious whether Leo has it too or not. I don't raise him to be weak, and with him being my son, the chance of him having it is high. If he wants to surpass me, then he needs to have it or it will be very difficult.'

Buggy then leaves the scene where everyone has gotten unconscious. He goes to Gan Fall's home where the old man and Shandia Chief are playing chess happily. Their soldiers are being beaten up very badly, but they are playing chess instead.

"Aren't you being too relaxed now?"

"Oh, you're done already? Well, we don't have anything to do because the young ones told us to stay here for our safety."

"D-does he wants to swim there?"

"You can't swim in the White Sea."

"Then..."

"He is falling to the Blue Sea. What a crazy man."

Wyper is right, Buggy is freefalling to the Blue Sea from the Sky Island. It is something he always wants to do since he reached the level of an Emperor. If Kaido could do it in the series, then he who defeated that Beast should be able to do it too.

He passes through the White Sea and falls to the Blue Sea 10 km below. The sight of Grandline's vast sea looks very amazing in his eyes. He can see the small Jaya island and also some other islands far from Jaya.

The breeze of wind, the gravity pulling him, the thrill he feels as he falls, and the risk of failing & dying make him very excited. Buggy does some freestyle maneuvers as he falls while aiming to land on Mock Town.

It's a town full of lawless, so he doesn't care if he destroys the town with his landing impact. Alice also stays in the hideout at the border, so it will be fine as long as he lands far from there. Jaya seems to get bigger as he gets closer and when he gets close enough, Buggy flips to land on his feet.

*BOOM*

A loud impact sound gets created when he lands on the street. No one expected it, so there are still many people on the street. They all get shocked and some even fall or get pushed by the impact. Dust flies around and covers the area while some nearby buildings crumble because of the tremor caused by Buggy's landing.

Everyone is shocked and they all look at the hole that was just created in the street. They thought it was a meteor, so they get very shocked when a man is coming out of the hole. Kuroko Buggy comes out and looks at his broken shoes.

"Damn, I like these shoes. Should've used haki just now."
