Chapter 440: Invading The Plaza

Chapter 440: Invading The Plaza

Kuroko Buggy doesn't have any choice but to join the war for real now after Whitebeard threw him toward the enemies. However, he chooses to avoid battles for now. He is just moving around evading the Marines' attacks while observing the war.

Pacifistas are coming from the sea and they are shooting the pirates using their beam attacks as they get closer. Some beams are also aimed at Kuroko, but he dodges them all and they hit the marines around him instead. He doesn't need to lift a finger and they get defeated already. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

"Ooh, friendly fires, as I thought of Kuroko-san. He uses their own attacks against themselves."

The escapees who are doing his order are hiding on an abandoned marine ship on the outside now. They record the war from a safe place, but these guys are truly idiots. Instead of recording the whole battlefield, they are focusing on Kuroko because they've decided to follow him, so they think it's better to show him what he does.

Luckily, they forget to turn off the other broadcast denden mushi. The puts it on the side while it's still on and it records the entire battlefield clearly. So the audience on Sabaody can see the whole situation in Marineford and Kuroko's battle now.

Then, everyone can see clearly the power of someone who once rivaled the Pirate King. John Giant tries to attack him, but then Whitebeard pulls the air from above as if he is pulling a curtain. The effect of his action is incomparable to curtain pulling.

A very powerful earthquake appears and affects the whole Marineford. It's so powerful that the island tilts to a side and the sea around the island rise. It's like he splits the world around him into circles with him as the center using the earthquake.

Everyone who never saw Whitebeard's full power is shocked by this. But Kuroko Buggy just grins because the old man who became his goal once still has that spark. It makes him want to fight Whitebeard again, but he doesn't want to fight a weakened Whitebeard who almost died. It won't be a good fight, after all.

Whitebeard punches John using an earthquake punch and defeats the giant Vice-Admiral. The quake power of that punch, however, is still moving toward the plaza. It's about to hit the execution platform and the pirates hope it will destroy the platform, but it suddenly stops right before hitting the platform.

It gets stopped by the 3 Admirals who used advanced haki. But Kuroko Buggy can see the Admiral's arms are shaking slightly. He grins because this means that Whitebeard is not as weak as he was in the series. Besides, Squard didn't stab him, so he is still in full health.

Well, he also contributed to this, or to be correct, his crew contributed to Whitebeard's better health. Manba was treating Whitebeard a few times and gave Marco the medicine prescriptions for Whitebeard's condition. Marco might have a kind of healing ability because of his devil fruit, but Manba is a much better doctor than Marco.

Manba could make a perfect cure for Whitebeard, but the old man refused it and only accepted a little treatment. After all, Manba's treatment wasn't free, and the price to get fully cured was very high. Whitebeard would need to pay by giving Clown Pirates some of his territories, and he refused to do that.

Buggy could've just asked Manba to cure Whitebeard for free, but he didn't want to do that. No matter how good their relationship and how big his respect for Whitebeard is, both of them are still rivals and enemies. They can't just give free things to each other, especially something so big such as curing a deadly disease.

Besides, Whitebeard wants to fight his illness alone, just like Roger. He feels as if he would lose to Roger if he relies on people who aren't his men to cure him. Even after Roger's death 22 years ago, Whitebeard still respects the man and feels a strong rivalry toward him.

He keeps jumping in the air and lands on the wall that protects the plaza. The Marines are looking at him warily because he has shown much greater power than they thought. But then their attention shifts to a water pillar that shoots up from the sea and falls right in front of the Admirals.

Kuroko Buggy avoided that place because of it. He doesn't want to get wet, after all. Besides, he wants to see how it will go. He wonders about it as he sees Luffy appear on where the water falls while holding a big ship mast.

Luffy throws it to the Admirals, but Aokiji freezes the mast. Then Luffy kicks it multiple times, breaking it, and sends the broken frozen mast to the Admirals. Of course, such an attack is not a problem for the Admirals.

But Luffy just wants to distract them for a while. He uses his Gear 2 and jumps toward Ace at a high speed. But it's still slow for Kizaru who catches up to him easily and kicks him away from the execution platform.

Sengoku suddenly gives an order to the executioners to execute Ace. Luffy tries to move and stop it, but he can't get closer at all. Luckily, Crocodile who has reached the plaza uses his sand to stop the execution. He doesn't want the Marine to succeed, so he stops the execution.

Doflamingo confronts him and they get into a fight. Marco also suddenly appears to attack Aokiji and saves Luffy. Right after that, the Whitebeard Pirates enter the plaza on their ship with the help of Oars.

The war is entering a new stage, so Kuroko Buggy is very excited. "Soon, let's start my plan after a while."
