Chapter 61: Clowns vs Happo Unit

Chapter 61: Clowns vs Happo Unit

A clash between Clown Pirates & Ley's Happo Navy unit has broken. Jude fight with Ley's 13 normal troops, Mantis fight with Yoko, Cricket fight with Hanji, while Buggy fight with Ley.

Buggy uses his swords like usual, while Ley just uses his fists. They've covered their swords & fists with haki and rush to each other. Buggy swings his Pollux on his right hand, and Ley sends a right-hand punch.

*CLANG* Their attack clash and create a sound like metal hitting metal because of their armament haki. Ley uses his Hasshoken and Buggy just uses his right sword. But Buggy exerts equal power to cancel the effect of Hasshoken's vibration.

Buggy has more raw power than Ley, but Ley's Hasshoken gives his attack more power too, make it equal with Buggy's attack. It's thanks to the mountain climbing that Buggy has more power now. So he doesn't lose his ground against Ley.

They clash again, and Buggy realizes something. 'His haki is harder than mine.'

Buggy can feel that Ley's haki is harder than his. It must be because Ley has more experience to fight people who can use haki too. Fighting with someone who has a stronger haki can make their haki stronger too.

That's why now Buggy is very excited. If Ley has a stronger haki, then this battle can help Buggy strengthen his haki. Now Buggy also needs to know if Ley has strong observation haki or not.

Buggy & Ley then start to clash with small attacks. They don't dodge or evade any attack, but they keep countering each other's attack with their attack.

Buggy & Ley just use their basic techniques to fight. They attack with high speed & strong power. Both of them haven't moved at all from their initial spot when they start to clash.

Buggy just keeps swinging his swords and Ley just keeps punching with his Hasshoken punches. Buggy knows Ley wants to prove that he is stronger than Buggy. So Buggy gladly takes his challenge head-on to improve his haki.

On the other spot, Cricket also clashes with Hanji. He often dodges because Hanji uses a metal staff. Cricket can't block the staff with his body or his flintlock.

He hasn't been able to use armament hardening although he can use basic colorless armament now. His flintlocks were also not designed to be used as close combat tools.

Cricket dodges a horizontal attack from Hanji then he punches back. Hanji blocks his punch with the middle section of his staff then swings the upper side down to Cricket's head.

"SHE'S FINE, JUST FOCUS ON YOUR FIGHT, MANTIS!" Buggy warns Mantis.

Just like what Buggy says, Jude is fine. The ash that scattered on the floor gather again. Then the ash turns into Jude who seems fine even after such an explosion. She looks up at the crow nest and sees a woman is looking at her while holding her riffle.

"A sniper. Why did Captain not mention her? Did Captain not sense her before?" ponders Jude.

Jude is right, Buggy didn't sense the sniper before. He just sensed her when she's about to shoot at Jude. It's not that Buggy's observation haki is weak, the sniper has a power that allows her to hide her presence.

"Jude, that woman can hide her presence. Most likely a devil fruit ability, so be careful with that!" says Buggy while still fighting head-on with Ley.

"Heh, nice observation. Lin, she is a logia. You can't defeat her without haki, so just keep her busy. I will defeat her after defeating this red nose," Ley instructs the sniper while smirking at Buggy.

Ley send a punch with full power at Buggy after he said that. Buggy thrust Pollux that glow a little at Ley's punch. They clash and get into a stalemate for a moment. But then Ley gets pushed back and roll on the floor. Ley balanced himself and looks at Buggy with wide eyes.

"Don't talk too big. You will look weak when you lose later," says Buggy while smirking back.

"Bastard!" Ley gets angry at Buggy.
