Chapter 100: Buggy VS Strawberry
Ruff is looking at Angelo who is looking at the battle between the Clown Pirates and Marine from a rooftop. Ruff makes a plan to capture Angelo and he also has another intention. He wants to test his weapons on Angelo.
"Hehe, I never have the chance to test it on people before. Captain said he is quite strong, so he will be a good test subject," says Ruff with a crooked smile.
Ruff opens his bag and thinks of a weapon that he wants to test first. He finally decides on a weapon and takes a black ball. He loads it in a hand cannon and aims at Angelo.
"This will be fun," says Ruff happily.
Ruff pulls the trigger and the cannon shoots the black ball. No sound is produced when he shoots it. The ball flies toward Angelo at a rather high speed and hits his back.
*PLOP*
The black ball doesn't create a big explosion like a bomb. But it transforms into black wires that wrap Angelo's body and lock his arms & legs. It surprises Angelo and makes him fall to the ground.
"OUCH! FUCK, WHAT IS THIS THING?" says Angelo after he fell.
Of course, it makes Ruff excited because that black ball is still a prototype. He compacts the wires into a ball. So the wires will wrap the target when the ball opens.
He is excited, but Ruff doesn't immediately go to Angelo. Buggy said that Angelo is quite tricky, so Ruff wants to make sure that it is really safe before approaching Angelo. That guy might be able to release himself from the wires.
"If he's as tricky as what Captain said, then he should be able to release himself," says Ruff while peeking from an alley.
His hunch is right because Angelo can release himself from the wires with some effort. After seeing Angelo escape from the wires, Ruff runs away from his spot to find another hiding place.
Ruff's decision is right because Angelo starts to look for the one who attacked him. He looks around to find the culprit, but he doesn't see anyone suspicious. But he sees many people looking at him and making him uneasy.
Angelo tries to find the culprit, but Ruff has gone from there. Suddenly, another black ball hit Angelo's back again. But now, the ball explode and let out a lot of black sticky liquid.
"WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT IS THIS? WHO'VE DONE THIS? COME OUT!" says Angelo angrily.
Angelo tries to remove the sticky liquid that has started to get harder. Ruff just laughs silently from his hiding spot and doesn't show up. It is more exciting this way.
"Captain, everyone, leave this to me. I promise I will test all my prototypes on him- Wait! I mean I will capture him," says Ruff while holding his laugh.
While Ruff testing his weapons, the Clowns are fighting the Marine. They are having the upper hand now and they're stronger than the Marines. All crew members can overwhelm their opponents, even Manba & Jude who fight with a lot of enemies.
"You- You're a devil fruit user?!" says Strawberry in surprise.
"Oh, I thought you knew. Now I doubt the Marine's intelligence. You don't even know basic information like this," says Buggy while his head is still flying.
Just like what Buggy said, the Marine HQ hasn't known that he is a devil fruit user. It's not that they didn't try to find out about him & his power. But Buggy himself rarely used his devil fruit power in a battle and used his swordsmanship more often.
Buggy swings Pollux up and cuts Strawberry's torso. It creates a deep wound on his body and Strawberry gets fling back. He coughs some blood and falls to the ground.
But it won't defeat someone like Strawberry. He stands up again and gets ready to fight Buggy. Such a wound won't stop someone like him easily.
Buggy grins and rushes to Strawberry. With a big wound like that, Strawberry can't move as he used to when he is still in good condition. He can't keep up with Buggy's pace and get more wounds.
"You're a good opponent and this is a good battle. But let's end this here because I don't want to humiliate you," says Buggy.
"I haven't lost," says Strawberry firmly.
Buggy doesn't say anything and prepares Pollux on his right side. Then he moves at Strawberry and swings Pollux horizontally with strong force.
"Divine Departure!"
Buggy swings his sword and Strawberry blocks it. But Strawberry's bad condition makes him powerless against Buggy's attack. His block failed and Buggy's sword passed the swords to cut Strawberry's chest.
Strawberry is sent flying and a deep cut is made on his chest. He crashes onto some trees and finally falls to the ground. His injuries have become too serious and he can't stand up again.
"It's over," says Buggy while sheathing his swords.
