Chapter 510: Clowns Pirates' Tobiroppo
"Making it more interesting, you say? So this dangerous sea is boring for you?"
"Haha, you would understand how boring it is once no one can fight you well, Black Maria. I always like difficult fights and if the opponents are too weak, then I would give myself some handicaps like only using my left hand, doesn't use devil fruit ability or haki, etc. All just to make my fights harder."
"Are you also doing that when fighting Red Hair & Whitebeard?"
"Of course. They are the best opponents I could fight now along with the Admirals."
"Sigh, so does this plan have any relation to that?"
"Yeah. Basically, this plan is to create powerful opponents for me to fight."
"Create? How?"
"Hehe, to summarize it, you guys will help some rookies grow by fighting them. You guys surely know that the best & fastest way to grow stronger is through battles. That's why I want you to go after potential pirates and fight them using whatever method you like. I prefer you go after young rookies because they still have a lot of hidden potential."
"So basically you want us to take the roles of villains in their stories?"
"You don't want to be villains?"
"Nah, I love to be a villain. That is what being a pirate means anyway."
"Yeah, and I would like to fight those infamous rookies."
"Wait! Does this include your son's crew?"
"Oh, the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Yeah, of course, this includes them. You can just fight them like you fight everyone else or even more ruthless, I don't mind at all. After all, if he wants to achieve his goal, then he should be able to surpass all of you combined."
"His goal needs him to defeat all of us together? What kind of goal is that?"
"Shouldn't be a Pirate King because he isn't the Captain."
"His goal is to defeat me."
""?!?!""
The 6 of them are surprised, but not with Alan & his crewmates who obviously know it already.
"Haha, that sounds even more difficult than being the Pirate King. But I really understand him. Wanting to surpass the best in the world is something that everyone desires, especially if that person is your father. But not everyone has the talent and mental to go after that goal."
"Yeah, like a lot of people want to find Laugh Tale. But only some percent are truly doing everything to find it and never give up."
"Hmm, not bad. They are worthy of their bounties, but they aren't strong enough to roam around the New World freely."
"Don't set yourself as the standard. They are already among the high ranks, but yeah, the New World still poses quite a lot of danger for them."
"This plan might be a good chance for them to improve themselves. If they get stronger, then our group will be very strong."
"That is also my aim."
Buggy & Alan are watching the battles while commenting on them. They see Sasaki rush at Jack in his Triceratops form, but Jack stops him by catching his horn with a hand. Jack uses the other hand to uppercut Page One which tries to bite him from another side.
Then he coats his forehead and butts Ulti who rushes with a headbutt at him. This is Ulti's signature move because of her devil fruit, which is a Pachycephalosaurus. Even so, she is sent flying back by Jack's headbutt that's much stronger than hers.
As for Sasaki, Jack lifts him before slamming him onto the ground. Even 1 slam is enough to make Sasaki cough up blood. Jack overwhelms all 3 of them without transforming into his mammoth form.
"Good, he is much stronger now. He can defeat the 3 of them without transforming."
"Well, he is Cricket-san's disciple, so he should at least have this much power & skills. Yamato is Palu-san's disciple, so she has similar level of power as Jack."
Just as Alam says, Yamato is also doing well in her fight. She smashes Who's Who, Black Maria, and Bege with her big metal bat. She rarely dodges because she prefers countering their attacks with her attacks. The only thing she dodges is Black Maria's web because it's too sticky to be hit.
Jack & Yamato have the upper hand, but it doesn't make them win immediately. The 6 pirates are still strong fighters and they aren't ones to give up so easily. So they keep fighting until they finally can force Jack & Yamato to transform.
"Not bad. Those guys are growing in this little battle game. They have high potential."
"Yeah, but it's over now because Jack & Yamato have transformed."
"Then let's see how long they can hold on."
Buggy thought they would hold on for a few minutes despite the injuries they had. But what happens is beyond his expectations. Jack & Yamato defeat every single one of them with just an attack each. Of course, their attacks are full-power attacks.
This result makes Buggy grin widely. "You guys were hiding your power quite well. But it's great. This will really help the grand plan go smoother."
