Chapter 145: Split vs Light

Chapter 145: Split vs Light

Buggy's swordsmanship battle with Kizaru has entered a new round. After being pressured by Kizaru, Buggy exerts more speed & strength in his attacks. He starts to push Kizaru slowly and hits the lightman a few times.

"You'll just get tired faster, you know," says Kizaru as he blocks Buggy's swords.

"I'll defeat you before I get tired," says Buggy.

"That won't be easy," says Kizaru as he tries to escape by transforming into the light.

Buggy kicks Kizaru's body and prevents him from transforming fully, "Yeah, it's not that easy."

Kizaru clicks his tongue as he failed to transform and move away. He wanted to move so he can attack Buggy from other angles. But Buggy's kick has prevented him from transforming fully.

'Heh, so I can stop him by disturbing his transformation. It's like what Rayleigh does in the series when he helps the Straw Hats,' thinks Buggy.

One of Kizaru's weaknesses is that he needs to transform onto light first to move at the speed of light. If he is disturbed, then he will fail and can't move at the speed of light. He needs a few seconds to transform into light. But a few seconds is crucial in a high-level battle.

Buggy kicks Kizaru again as the lightman is distracted. Kizaru flings away but he can stabilize himself fast. He looks at Buggy and opens his palm as he points it at Buggy.

"You are pissing me off now," says Kizaru pissedly with an unpissed expression.

Buggy sees Kizaru's palm shines and curses, "SHIT!"

*PSHEW PSHEW*

Kizaru shoots multiple light beams from his palm. Buggy uses his Observation Haki to the max to dodge & block the beams.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

Kizaru shots rapidly and makes Buggy overwhelmed. Buggy has done his best, but he finally misses a beam. He curses as the light beam hits him and explodes on his body.

The explosion is big and scattered everything around it. Kizaru stops his shooting and looks at the explosion site. There's nothing there except for the explosion mark and sand.

"Hmm? Strange, where is he?" ponders Kizaru confusedly.

The Vice-Admiral looks around to find Buggy, but he's nowhere to be found. The wind blows and scatters the sand around Kizaru. He still tries to find Buggy when suddenly he feels something right under him.

A black fist suddenly appeared under Kizaru and flies toward him. It flies fast and hits Kizaru's stomach, sending the lightman flies away. Then sand-like particles gather around the fist and form a human, it's Buggy. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Right before the explosion happened, Buggy split his body at the cellular level to reduce the damage as a last resort. But the explosion made his cells scattered and he needed time to gather them. His scattered body made it hard for Kizaru to sense him even with Observation Haki.

Kizaru flies higher and reforms his body in the air before he crosses his hands, "Yasakani no Magatama!"

"Not again," curses Buggy as he coated his swords with Armament Haki.

Many light bullets are shot from Kizaru's hands. They move fast toward Buggy who is ready with his swords in his hands. Buggy slashes his swords to parry the light bullets.

He doesn't need to protect his crewmates now, so it is easier. But easier doesn't mean that it is easy, it's just not as difficult as before. The bullets are still very fast and he needs to use all his power to parry them.

Buggy can parry every light bullet that Kizaru shot because of his good Observation Haki. But it tires him and now he pants rather hard. Trying to match the speed of light isn't an easy thing to do.

"Are you okay?" asks Kizaru with a mocking tone.

"*pant pant* More than okay to kick your ass," says Buggy while grinning and panting.

"Hmm, very funny," says Kizaru without smiling.

Kizaru transforms into light and flashes to Buggy. Buggy tries to attack Kizaru, but his hands are tired, so his movement is slow. Kizaru evades it easily and gets behind Buggy.

"Kicking ass seems to be a good idea," says Kizaru as his right foot shines.

Buggy can't even curse when Kizaru kicks his ass at the speed of light. He flies toward a cliff and crashes onto it with his hands & legs spreading in a comical pose.

"That bastard, I will really kick his ass later," says Buggy as his hands twitch.
