41 Chapter 41 How Terrifying?

Ding!

"Congratulations on successfully altering the plot. The team you led intervened in the Summit War and forced Hawkeye to retreat. From this point on, the Summit War will remain completely unknown."

"Reward: Advanced Observation Haki - Future Sight."

"Huh~~"

After mastering this newly acquired ability, Buggy couldn't help but display a mischievous smile on his face. The reward this time is not insignificant!

His Observation Haki has directly advanced from elementary to advanced level, and it's the most practical type that allows him to predict the future.

Especially on the battlefield, it's an invaluable asset!

If he had the "Voice of All Things," a Highest-level Observation Haki it would be too troublesome on this battlefield. He clearly remembers what happened to Kobi at the end of Marineford.

Fortunately, future sight is the ideal form of Observation Haki for Buggy! Now, he can confidently say that his overall strength has reached a higher level. Except for his physical fitness, all his other abilities are on par with an Emperor.

The fusion of the "Gildarts template + Chop-Chop Fruit" he has acquired possesses the power to crush everything, awakened. This is enough for him to deal with any Emperor-level powerhouse!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have defeated the quasi-Admiral-level Magellan and Stussy. Even when facing the formidable Kaido, although Buggy may not be able to defeat him, he can still hold his own and fight on equal footing! In this regard, Buggy can only say that he feels incredibly powerful!

He still has a lot to accomplish, and he doesn't expect a legendary pirate like Redfield to become his subordinate.

For now, he can manipulate the other party using the Bat Fruit. Once the other party obtains the Bat Fruit's location, Buggy won't be surprised if they turn around and leave. That's why he must come to rescue Ace after his soul possessed Buggy.

By doing so, he can save Roger's son and inherit "Roger's legacy" and have Gabban, Bullet, Doringo, and Sunbell join his crew, becoming part of his power!

He has even considered using Rayleigh's absence during the future rescue of Ace to make the other party feel guilty and possibly join forces with him. But he knows such things can't be rushed; they need to be approached slowly.

Even if Redfield were to leave afterwards, his subordinates would include Gabban, Bullet, and Duolingo—three people of Admiral or even Emperor level potential.

Furthermore, there's also Sanjuan Wolf, whose strength he hasn't fully grasped yet. The future looks promising.

With Crocodile, Mr. 1, and Rob Lucci in the second tier, After mastering Haki and growing in power, his Yonko pirate crew will undoubtedly become the top force in the New World!

After the Summit War, he's prepared to venture into the New World and create his own realm. His ultimate goal is to "inherit" Whitebeard's territory!

Various thoughts race through his mind, and Buggy's smile grows even more audacious. When paired with his clown makeup, it exudes an air of wanton and endless arrogance, broadcasted worldwide.

Especially since Buggy just defeated Hawkeye, the impact is even greater! All the underground world kings watching the live broadcast feel their hearts pound.

At the same time, the supernovas and Rayleigh, watching from Sabaody Archipelago, appear serious!

It's hard for them to fathom how Hawkeye, who easily overpowered Luffy, Ivankov, Jinbe, and even Crocodile, lost to that man.

To be precise, he lost to his devil fruit ability!

Based on their previous battles, each of Hawkeye's attacks could have been fatal to Buggy. If any of them had connected, Buggy would have been a goner. So it's not so much that Hawkeye lost to Buggy, but rather to his ability.

The swordsman's nemesis truly lives up to its name! But if you lose, you lose. Even if Hawkeye lost to Buggy's fruit ability, it still counts as part of Buggy's strength!

Therefore, it can be said that Buggy's current strength is on par with that of a Marine Admiral.

Zizizi— Obviously, the Marine Admirals also believe this. After Kizaru kicked Marco and Doringo, he approached Buggy, who seemed to be basking in the victory over Hawkeye and kicked him on the head.

At the same time, Kizaru's smug and obscene voice resounded, "Speed is supreme. Have you ever experienced being kicked at the speed of light?"

Kizaru's voice was transmitted clearly through the Loudspeaker den den mushi on the live broadcast screen. The corners of the mouths of the supernovas watching the scene at Sabaody Archipelago twitched!

The horror of being kicked by Kizaru just a week or two ago is still fresh in their minds, and now they see him kicking someone again.

At this moment, they are eager to see how Buggy will face Kizaru, renowned for his speed. This sudden turn of events even caused Hawkeye, not far away, to stop and turn back.

In response, Buggy imitated Kizaru's peculiar tone and said, "You're going to kick me on the right side and on the right cheek? Scary, it's Marine Admiral!"

Simultaneously, Buggy slightly turned his body to the left, effortlessly dodging Kizaru's kick.

Hearing Buggy's words, Kizaru was taken aback. He didn't expect the other party to be so aware. Thinking that his pretence was futile, he silently kicked at Buggy's back in mid-air.

This time, Buggy turned his back, and he didn't believe the other party could detect it.

However, the next moment, with his back to Kizaru, Buggy's voice sounded once again, "You want to kick me in the back again? Can't you make any sound at all? Marine Admiral, you're really terrifying without giving any hints! But, is it really wise to get so close to me? Marine Admiral Kizaru, have you ever experienced the pain of being torn apart?"

While speaking, Buggy sidestepped and effortlessly avoided Kizaru's kick once more.

"Predicting the future!?"

Seeing this, Kizaru's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed. Before he could react, he saw a protective cover resembling platinum light surrounding Buggy's body. Kizaru, with half his body inside the protective cover, was instantly torn into countless pieces!

Chi Chi Chi! In the next moment, to everyone's horror, half of Kizaru's body vanished, turning into square fragments that fell to the ground. Then, with a bang, the fragments dissipated into golden specks of light.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Kizaru, who had lost half of his body, pouted and said, "Not only does he possess such a terrifying fruit ability, but he also has Observation Haki that can predict the future! Clown King Buggy, you're truly terrifying! That was quite a painful experience. So terrifying."

While speaking, Kizaru already raised his leg, and a light sword slashed directly at Buggy with lightning speed.

Scoff!

Buggy was split in half from head to toe.

"Ouch ouch!" Buggy, with only half of his head remaining, stared at Kizaru and said, "I'm in so much pain right now, alright? Marine Admiral Kizaru, why didn't you announce the name of your attack? I didn't even realize it; I'm about to be hacked to death by you! Borsalino, the Marine Admiral, truly lives up to his reputation—terrifying!"

Akainu: "..."

Whitebeard: "..."

Aokiji: "..."

Sengoku: "Kizaru, you rascal, can't you carry yourself with Dignity?! That guy is broadcasting live to the world, show some respect of the Marines!"

Garp: "Hahahahaha—"

People watching the live broadcast from around the world: "..."
