Chapter 72: All-Out War

Chapter 72: All-Out War

Buggy & Squard keep clashing with their swordsmanship. Buggy moves faster and attack more than Squard. But Squard can defend and sometimes he attacks Buggy with big attacks.

None of them get noticeable injury except Squard who flung and crashed to the trees before. But he is not injured badly because he protected his body with armament haki when he crashed.

They keep clashing until suddenly Squard attacks with his normal-sized katana. He unsheaths his normal katana with his left hand and strikes Buggy with it. Buggy doesn't see it coming and gets his neck being cut by the katana.

Squard smirks and so are his crewmates. The natives get surprised and they get alerted. They immediately raise their spears and get ready to attack, but Buggy's crewmates stop them.

"Why're you stopping us? Your friend is being killed there, you should get ready to fight too," says Nhiba panicky.

"Calm down, Captain is okay," says Cricket. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE IS OKAY? HIS HEAD IS BEING CUT OFF," shouts Nhiba.

"Just look at him carefully, no blood is coming out from his neck, right?" asks Cricket.

The natives look at Buggy and there's no blood at all from his cut neck. Squard & his crew also realize this and they are the ones who get alerted now.

"Tsk, Devil Fruit user," says Squard while clicking his tongue.

"Oi oi, don't talk like that. Whitebeard is also a devil fruit user," says Buggy while his head is floating in the air.

Just now, Squard didn't use his haki on his normal katana because he want to attack Buggy fast enough. But that made his sword attack useless on Buggy.

Well, even if he used haki, it would still be useless. Buggy has trained his reflexes to be so fast that he can split his body reflexively when being attacked. That training is his attempt to awaken his devil fruit faster.

It can also train his observation haki, so he hoped it will make his observation haki develop faster, and it works. His observation haki grew faster than his armament haki in the last 2 years. It's not perfect yet, but it keeps progressing.

Buggy put his head back on his body and says, "You're very sneaky, Squard. Using an underhanded tactic in a duel."

"Hmph, a duel of pirates is not sacral. We didn't choose to fight as swordsmen, so this is a pirate fight. Besides, your previous big attack isn't swordsmanship. So what I did wasn't wrong," says Squard.

"Oops, I've been found out. But you're right, a duel of pirates doesn't have a rule. So I will use this now," says Buggy while grinning.

Buggy split his wrists and spin his swords on his hands. Then he uses the spinning swords to attack Squard. Buggy's attack surprised Squard and he uses both of his katana to defend Buggy's attack.

Buggy then rushes to Squard and sends a kick at Squard's stomach. The kick doesn't hit because Squard blocks it with his big katana. But that makes Castor on Buggy's left hand free and it spins toward Squard.

Castor almost slashes Squard's head, but someone stops it. Buggy's attack is stopped by Squard's Vice-Captain who uses a cutlass. He blocks the sword to save Squard, but it violates the duel.

"Richard!" says Squard in surprise.

Buggy uses this chance and detaches his arms. He throws his arms to Squard's arms and locks it up. Then Buggy controls both his swords to strike Squard's body.

*SWISH SLASH*

"GAHK!" Squard gets slashed and a deep X wound appears on his torso.

Blood gushes out from Squard's wounds and he spits some blood. Buggy hasn't finished and he kicks Squard's body with a haki covered foot.

Buggy kick as hard as he can and it makes Squard fling away and crashes to the ground. Squard loses grip of his swords and he rolls on the ground.

"CAPTAIN!" yells Squard's crewmates.

Squard's wounds are deep, especially the one inflicted by Pollux. Buggy has used Pollux's ability and it makes a deep wound on Squard's body. Even Squard's haki can't defend it and he is done.

Buggy jumps to Squard and revert his body to normal. Then Buggy raises Pollux to the sky and charges its power, ready to slash Squard's neck.

Squard's crewmates yell at Buggy to stop and try to run at him, but Buggy's crewmates stop them. Jude spread her ash to grab them and stop their track.

"STOP IT! AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF WHITEBEARD'S ANGER?" shouts Richard, he tries to stop Buggy.

"If that old man comes after me, he will get the same fate. I, Buggy, don't fear anyone even Gods on Mary Geoise. If Whitebeard comes to avenge his fool son, then let him come. I will entertain him and tell him to educate his sons correctly," says Buggy with an overwhelming tone.

Everyone's heart trembles hearing that and they are rooted in their place. What they hear from Buggy isn't arrogance, it's pride and pure belief.

Buggy swings his sword down, but suddenly, a voice is heard from a denden mushi, "Gurarara, you've became stronger, Red Nose brat."

Buggy stops his sword right on Squard's neck. looks at the denden mushi that is held by a chore boy from Squard's ship and says, "Whitebeard."
