Chapter 187: Big Target
The war goes on and Cricket has led the Clowns to defeat 3/4 of the Marine soldiers. There are some Marine officers from Captain or Lieutenant ranks, but none of them can match the executives.
From 682 Marine soldiers, Cricket alone has defeated 214. He doesn't attack them actively and just helped his crewmates that have a hard time. Some soldiers also attacked him so he defeated them.
The other executives also just helped the normal members but still defeated a lot of soldiers. It proves that the normal members are still not good enough fighting enemies with a much higher number than them.
That's why this war is important for them to gain experience. The executives can also learn to lead and watch over their crew members. If it's just them, then this war will be over by now, but they all want their crewmates to be strong. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Although Enel doesn't care about that and just wants to fight in the big war even though he is tired. So when he arrived, Cricket knocked his head and now he is unconscious. He shouldn't be allowed to disturb the normal members' fights or they won't grow.
Many people and crews will deem what the Clowns do unnecessary. Most crews will do anything to win and don't care much about their crewmates' individual strengths. If some people die, they can just replace them.
What they need is just a number, but Buggy doesn't think like that. He cares about his crewmates' individual strengths because that is important. Everyone can grow strong with the correct method, that's what he believed in.
His target is to make everyone in his crew very strong that even the weakest will have the strength of someone with a bounty of 100 million. That will be very difficult and need a long time to be achieved. People will think that's impossible but he knows that nothing is impossible in this world.
Teaching the crew some proper Martial Arts including Hasshoken is a big step. Other crews won't even bother to teach their members something like Martial Arts. They will just keep it for the main members and let the normal crew members remain weak.
Buggy also will let the normal members eat devil fruits if they find them. He won't tell them to give the devil fruits to him or the executives because they are just normal members. Being fair and square is a must in his crew, and he proved it with Bastia yesterday.
Bastia found a zoan devil fruit and Buggy didn't hesitate to let him eat it. Now everyone in the crew trust that he will be fair with all of them. Some of them don't trust that he will follow the rules before because they all are pirates.
Pirates don't follow rules, even their own rules, it's a normal and common thing. But Buggy has shown that he follows the rules that he set himself. He is someone that will do what he said and won't do the opposite.
That's why now the normal members are in high spirits in this war. They know that if they get stronger and contribute a lot, then they will be able to learn Haki. All of them know what Haki can do and they want it.
So they keep fighting even though the enemies are strong. They get injured but their spirit is getting higher instead. Their high spirit even scares the Marine soldiers who think of them as Maniacs.
Then finally, 20 minutes after the war started, the Clowns have defeated the Marine. Both sides have shown great persistence in this war. Many of them are injured but they stand up & fought again. But the ones who laugh in the end are the Clowns.
"Now we just need to wait for Captain, Palu, & Magnus," says Cricket as he helps some injured crew members.
Magnus counters that attack with his own attack from left above. Then he grabs Ronse with his free left hand and throws the Axe on his right hand.
He forms his 3 right hands into fists and says, "It's over, Ronse!"
*BAM BAM BAM*
Magnus punches Ronse with his 3 right fists at the same time. He hits Ronse's chest, solar plexus, and stomach with his 3 fists. Ronse spits some blood as he gets flung to the sky and then drops on the ground with a big impact.
Ronse lifts his head a little to look at Magnus before he falls unconscious. Magnus puts his Axes on his back and returns to his normal form as he looks at Ronse. He smiles before he turns around and leaves the location.
"Let's fight again in the future, old friend," says Magnus as he leaves.
Meanwhile, Buggy is seen blocking & dodging John's attacks and doesn't attack back at all. He has just kept defending since their fight started. Then suddenly, he grins and jumps back rather far.
"Damn, when will you keep dodging? Come and fight me like a man!" says John.
"Well, I was just playing around before. But it seems playtime is over. My men have done their parts perfectly, so now I need to do mine too. Sorry but, I will attack now," says Buggy as he smirks.
