274 274. Buggy vs Kaido
Just like the intense battles on the 1st floor, the battle on the rooftop is also intense. No, it's actually far more intense than the ones below. Buggy's and Kaido's battle is very destructive that it will blow everyone else if they fight on the 1st floor.
Buggy uses his devil fruit and his swords' devil fruits to face Kaido. He uses all his devil fruit techniques against Kaido. Kaido is still faster and stronger than him but the damage he received is minimal because Buggy always split his body to the cellular level to reduce the impact.
After he gets hit, Buggy will always attack Kaido using his detached arms. He also evades Kaido's attacks many times using his advanced O-Haki to take a glimpse into the future. This is his best weapon against Kaido's ridiculous speed and strength in hybrid form.
Kaido uses advanced Armament & Conqueror Haki. But Buggy uses his advanced Observation Haki to handle Kaido's attacks. It's a good thing that Kaido can't use advanced Observation Haki so Buggy can have an advantage at something.
Buggy refrains himself from using advanced Armament & Conqueror Haki because it's draining his Haki energy too much. Kaido has more energy than him so he will run out of Haki first if he keeps using it.
He will only use his advanced Armament & Conqueror when he's sure he'll hit Kaido's vital spots. Buggy has used it a few times and has dealt significant damage to Kaido. But Kaido also dealt significant damage to him because it's almost impossible to avoid everything even with his level of Observation Haki.
Well, not using advanced Armament and Conqueror Haki is not a big problem for Buggy. His other attacks are actually strong enough to damage Kaido's tough scales & Armament Haki. By using Pollux's Pressure power and Hasshoken on top of Castor's Hard power, Buggy can hurt Kaido.
The damage without advanced Armament & Conqueror Haki is small, but it is still damage nonetheless. Besides, those attacks without advanced Haki have increased his abilities. His techniques improved, his power increased, and his battle skills also improved.
A battle against a strong foe is always the best way to get stronger. But the risk is also great because it always leads to death. In their ruthless world, death is a normal risk that everyone always faces.
Buggy & Kaido keep exchanging blows after blows. They flash around all over the place as they fight. Normal people won't be able to follow their speed and they'll just look like flashes of light.
Kaido's spiky metal club vs Buggy's twin shortswords. Their weapons are different but the damage they caused is similar. Both of them are getting excited about this battle. They are actually similar in this aspect, battle junkies who get excited when facing strong opponents.
"Worororo, what's wrong, brat? Your attacks are getting weaker," says Kaido while grinning widely.
"Isn't it you who get slower and weaker? Maybe your senses have been damaged too that you can't feel the pain caused by ky attacks," says Buggy while smirking.
"Hah, you still have a long way to go if you want to bluff in front of me," says Kaido while swinging his metal club from above.
Buggy slides on the floor and passes between Kaido's legs. He turns around while jumping and then attacks Kaido's back using Castor & Hasshoken. But Kaido blocks it using his Haki-coated tail.
"Then is it okay if I bluff behind you?" asks Buggy while smirking.
Kaido also smirks as he says, "Wororo, you damn brat."
Kaido swipes his tail strongly but Buggy sees it coming so he jumps back on his own. Buggy then suddenly drops himself to the back and he is right on time to avoid a horizontal club attack. He stops his fall using his hands and then he sends a kick with both his feet while pushing himself with his hands.
His attack hits Kaido's stomach and sends Kaido flying quite far. Kaido makes a flame cloud to stop his flight then he makes more flame clouds to run towards Buggy at a very high speed. In a short time, Kaido reaches Buggy's position and sends another horizontal club attack.
Buggy crouches to evade it but then Kaido turns his body using his attack's momentum. Kaido uses his tail to attack Buggy as he spins from the momentum. Without much time to avoid the tail attack, Buggy raises his swords.
His swords have already been coated with Haki and their abilities are active. Buggy uses them to block Kaido's tail attack and they've reduced its power. But he still gets flung quite far because of the impact.
To stop his flight, Buggy detaches his feet and throws them to the floor. His feet are sliding on the floor and breaking it to reduce his speed. He finally stops after sliding quite far.
Buggy grins as he wipes the blood that comes out of his mouth. He has blocked Kaido's attack but he still gets significant damage. If he took that head-on, then he will really be in big trouble.
As he runs back to attack Kaido, Buggy sends some slashing attacks using Castor. He can't create a powerful attack with high pressure without Pollux. But he doesn't need it now because he just wants to make Kaido moves forward.
Just like what Buggy thinks, Kaido is rushing toward him while destroying his slash attacks. Both of them get closer and closer until they finally face each other again. They jump toward each other while preparing their attacks.
Kaido raises his metal club above his head while Buggy holds his swords on his right side. When they get right in front of each other, they swing their weapons at each other. Their weapons clash and create a very big impact.
A shockwave is made by their clash and the floor below them cracks. Luckily, the floor is thick & strong enough to withstand it. But it's still damaged and they might fall if they stand there on the cracked floor.
They push each other back quite far and Buggy looks at his swords after he landed. They are fine and he doesn't get significant damage either in that last confrontation. He has used his swords' devil fruit abilities again to push Kaido back.
"No scratch at all. Hitetsu really did a good job at strengthening my babies," says Buggy.
They could be strengthened to the grade of 21 Great Grade Swords because they've changed after having devil fruit power. Now they are tougher, sharper, and more durable than before.
Well, the strengthening is also possible because the Kopis swords are top ranks among 50 Skillful Grade Swords. The swordsmith that made them is just not skillful enough so some touches by Hitetsu have strengthened the swords.
Their upgrade isn't just an assumption either. They have really gotten stronger and Buggy proved it by cutting some spikes of Kaido's metal club. The metal club that Kaido uses is a strong weapon that can even withstand Big Mom's attack, so it's not easy to damage it.
Furthermore, Buggy has also cut Kaido's tough scales using his swords. When Buggy attacked, Kaido always used his haki on his weapon and body to block. But Buggy still can damage them even though he didn't use advanced Haki.
Buggy just used his strength and his swords' devil fruit abilities most of the time. Even so, he still can cut the spikes & Kaido's scales that get protected by Haki. It shows that Buggy's attack power is just that great.
Those feats make Buggy smirk as he looks at Kaido, "Is this all you've got, Kaido? Rocks didn't teach you well."
Kaido grits his teeth and says, "Don't be arrogant just because of this, brat. I will show you your place."
