Chapter 481: Buggy's Domination
Buggy's Raigo lasts for around 3 minutes before it runs out of lightning. The black cloud sphere disperses quickly after that and a big demonic figure falls from it. Imu has been struck by lightning continuously inside the sphere which obviously damaged him severely.
He has immunity to heat because of his devil fruit which gives him the ability to conquer all aspects of fire including heat. Lightning is very hot, but the heat of lightning doesn't affect him at all. However, the shock and other energy in the lightning still affected him, so he still got damaged.
The injuries inflicted by Buggy's attacks haven't even healed and he got struck by powerful lightning bolts rapidly for around 3 minutes. Such a thing obviously broke his body apart. It would kill him if he isn't immortal and his devil fruit isn't powerful.
Buggy knows Imu is still alive and he wants to finish this now. He doesn't want to play around anymore even though he feels that the previous torture wasn't enough. But he can feel that he is getting closer to his limit, so he needs to finish this now.
The limit that he feels isn't his energy or strength. He can feel it's about time for the borrowed abilities to return to their real owners. There is a time limit for borrowing other's abilities using Dela's devil fruit ability and that time limit is near, so Buggy needs to end this before that.
He dashes to the falling Imu at a very high speed and almost reaches Imu instantly. However, he is stopped by a powerful shockwave that spreads from Imu's falling body. Then suddenly, blue fire comes out of Imu's body and expands rapidly, forming a big blue fire sphere with Imu in the center.
Buggy frowns before approaching the blue fire sphere. He is surprised that there is no heat or other kind of energy around the blue flame. Then Buggy suddenly widens his eyes when he feels that this blue fire is quite familiar.
"No way! Phoenix's flame? Then, if this is really a phoenix's flame, could that guy....? Immortality's healing factor and phoenix's flame's healing power. What a great combination."
Buggy looks astonished as he rubs his chin without any sign of worry. He is truly impressed by Imu's devil fruit which has many important abilities. It even makes him jealous. Even Teach would prefer this devil fruit over Darkness Darkness Fruit.
But Buggy doesn't want to admire it for too long because he wants to end this quickly. So he approaches the blue fire sphere and punches it. The blue fire sphere breaks into numerous small cubes because of Buggy's awakened devil fruit ability.
Strangely, Imu isn't inside the chopped blue fire sphere. He has gotten out and he suddenly shows up behind Buggy with a punch released. Imu's punch is covered with reddish black flame and it flies straight at Buggy's spine at a high speed.
Too bad for Imu, his attack has been read by Buggy who dodges the punch. Buggy turns around to the left while evading Imu's punch narrowly. Imu is surprised by Buggy's sudden maneuver and he tries to get away.
However, Buggy catches his arm, stopping him from escaping. Unable to break free, Imu sends a kick at Buggy's waist, but it is blocked by Buggy's dragon tail. Imu really has lost the initiative in this battle and everything he does can be read completely by Buggy.
"You have healed your injuries, but you can't recover your stamina. Heck, you even used a lot of your stamina to heal your injuries. Be it your physical or mental fatigue, they've weakened you so much. Don't you think it's time to give up? You don't have any chance to win."
Buggy says that with a worried tone, but his eyes are looking down on Imu. He really enjoys this role of being the bad guy who always gets their asses kicked by the main characters in stories. Well, that wouldn't happen to him now because Imu isn't the main character of this world.
Anyway, Imu's shock disappears and he is getting angry again. He sends more attacks at Buggy using everything he has left. He squeezes every bit of power that remains in his body, but nothing is working. All his attacks are useless because Buggy can dodge or block them easily.
"Oh, fuck."
Imu immediately uses this chance and dashes to attack Buggy. He opens his arms and claws while coating them with black & red flame. Then he swipes his claws at Buggy from both sides at a very high speed.
Buggy looks at Imu with a plain expression as if he has predicted this. Then when Imu's burning claws almost touch him, Buggy's body suddenly gets chopped to the cellular level. He looks like a cluster of dust now which then spreads like dust blown by wind.
The spreading dust suddenly forms a left fist in front of Imu's stomach and punches it very strongly. It makes Imu cough some blood and arches his body. But then, the dust forms the right fist that appears below Imu's jaw and sends a powerful uppercut.
The rest of the dust has formed Buggy's remaining body parts on top of Imu. He waits there to send a dropkick on Imu's body right after the uppercut. His drop kick slams Imu onto the ground again and now Buggy is standing on Imu's back.
"Hah, you thought you would have a chance just because the borrowed abilities have returned to their owners? Dream on! I already knew they would return around this time, so I've prepared for it. Did you think I would be that weak without those borrowed powers? Too bad I never relied solely on those abilities to win. I always believe I can win even without them. It's just that winning would be more difficult, but it's not impossible."
Buggy looks down on Imu who lies under his feet with a bloody mouth and nose.
"King of Trash Nobles, you are much more naive than I thought or maybe you are just too desperate. You are too miserable that I can't watch it anymore. So let's end this now."
Buggy unsheaths and swings his sword at Imu's neck in a split second. Imu doesn't even have time to react before his neck gets chopped by Buggy's awakened power, so there is no injury. Then Buggy controls Imu's head to fly up and he grabs Imu's head.
Buggy grins evilly while looking at Imu's shocked eyes. "You will wish you weren't immortal now."
