432 432. Pacifista
A big commotion happen because Luffy punched a Celestial Dragon. People are panicking and trying to run away because they know an Admiral will come here. Hatchan also knows that, so he immediately goes to release Camie.
Leo cuts the tank and Hatchan picks Camie out of it. A female Celestial Dragon suddenly comes up the stage and points a pistol at Camie. Hatchan just peeks at her before flicking one of his tentacles to shoot a water droplet.
He is quite good at using Fishman Karate now after learning it along with swordsmanship. The water droplet hits the female Celestial Dragon's forehead and knocks her out instantly. It surprises the Straw Hats because they never thought that Hatchan would be this strong.
Hatchan only uses enough power to knock her out because killing her will create big problems. His action might put Fishmen in bigger danger, after all. The Celestial Dragons will see him as a Fishman before a pirate, so they will blame Fishmen first before Clown Pirates.
After knocking out the female Celestial Dragon who is the sister of the one that Luffy knocked out, he knocks out their father who shouts from his seat. The auction house falls into chaos as fights break everywhere. The Straw Hats are fighting the Celestial Dragons' guards who seem very angry.
There are 2 other rookie pirate crews led by 2 Supernovas there. The Heart Pirates led by Law and Kid Pirates led by Kid. They aren't panicking like the other people and just watch the show calmly from their seats.
Buggy is looking at Law & Lami who have grown well. He has met them a few times before they entered Grandline and they are still in contact albeit rarely. Law still has the ambition to take revenge on Doflamingo because that pink guy almost killed him & his sister.
That is the biggest reason why Doflamingo is still alive now despite being Buggy's biggest rival in the underground business. Jester & Joker are 2 biggest names in Underworld. Although their market targets are different as Buggy targets the upper tiers and Doffy targets the lower tiers because he can't defeat Buggy's high-quality goods that are chased by the upper tiers.
Back in the human shop, The Straw Hats are still fighting the Guards. But suddenly, all the enemies pass out when a mysterious energy wave hit them. It takes everyone's attention and they look at the source which is an old man who has broken through the stage's back wall.
"So you're here, Rayleigh."
"Oh, Hatchan, long time no see. Are you on vacation?"
"Yeah, but some people tried to ruin it."
Rayleigh looks at Camie and now understands why Hatchan said that. "Well, it will get even more messed up." Rayleigh says that while looking at the unconscious Celestial Dragons.
"I know, that's why we need to leave before an Admiral comes."
"Right, but I still have a business. Straw Hat Luffy, I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
"Meet me? Do we know each other?"
"You don't know me, but I know you and wanted to meet you. I want to talk, but I think this is not a good place to talk, so let's move somewhere else. Hatchan, take them to Shakky's bar, I will go there first with the little mermaid."
Hatchan nods and they go out of the human shop, but many Marine soldiers have waited outside. Hatchan wants to take care of them, but 3 people move before him. They are the 3 Supernova Captains. Luffy, Law, and Kid.
Buggy isn't too interested in this because it won't even be a show. So he decides to do something about the Celestial Dragons. He moves stealthily and uses his awakened power to a piece of each of their hearts. Now he can kill them anytime he wants or needs.
"I think I need to do this more."
He grins at the prospect of controlling the Celestial Dragons using this as a threat. It's not like he never thought of it, he just hasn't found the best time to do it and he isn't that bored yet. Even now, he only wants to experiment using these guys to see if anyone will find out about this.
Buggy leaves the auction house after he's done with the Celestial Dragons. He goes to the highest spot on Sabaody to see if the Admiral comes. It's been a long time since he fought an Admiral, so he is quite excited by this.
"You 3 can come if you want, but I'm sure only Kizaru will come. Aokiji & Fujitora really don't want to do things for Celestial Dragons and only Kizaru can tolerate it even though he doesn't like them too. Well, let's see how good you are now, Lightman."
While waiting, Buggy sees Marine soldiers chasing after pirates everywhere. It's a very rare sight on Sabaody because Marine usually lets pirates away even though they have a branch unit here. Buggy watches it from above amusedly as many rookies got captured.
Then just a while later, he sees something he has wanted to see for a long time, the Pacifista. The Pacifista attacks Kid Pirates who try to escape and obviously, they don't stand a chance. Even after Heart Pirates arrive and assist them, the Pacifista is still overwhelming them.
Buggy grins and jumps down from the highest treetop. He is getting quite bored, so he decides to test the Pacifista himself. "The work of a genius scientist, huh? Let's see how good it is. Too bad Ruff isn't here. He will be very excited to dissect Vegapunk's work.
*BOOM*
Buggy lands right between the pirates and the Pacifista. Of course, his sudden appearance surprises the pirates there because they know who he is. The Pacifista also scans him. "Babysitter Kuroko. Bounty of 600 million Belly."
"Can't you guys change that moniker? I'm just taking care of a kid and you called me babysitter? Alice was angry because you called her a baby, you know."
Kid & Law look at Buggy interestedly because he has the highest bounty in their generation. But what makes them much more interested is his appearance that doesn't look strong at all.
"So that's Kuroko. He doesn't look strong at all."
"Don't be deceived by appearance, Eustass-ya. Sometimes the most dangerous people are those who don't look dangerous."
*PSHEW*
The Pacifista suddenly shoots a laser beam from its mouth. It hits Kuroko Buggy and the explosion engulfs him. Everyone is surprised by the sudden attack that hits Kuroko Buggy directly. But then they get even more surprised when he shows up without any damage to his body.
"Not bad, it stung a bit. You can kill some babies with that shot."
The Pacifista shoots a few more times, but now Kuroko Buggy is slapping the beams, redirecting them to other places. Such a thing shocks the pirates who watch it. Their eyes become very wide because all of them almost died from those beams, but Kuroko Buggy just shrugs them off.
Currently, Buggy is trying to understand Pacifista's power, but he isn't a scientist, so he can't really understand it. So he decides to end this because he can feel a strong presence has arrived on the island.
"Play time's up."
Buggy jumps toward the Pacifista and reaches it almost instantly. He punches it and it flies very fast toward a giant Mangroove. A massive explosion happens and the Pacifista is destroyed instantly. It shocks the pirates even more because they could only scratch it before.
After finishing the Pacifista, Buggy leaves to find the strong presence. He knows well that it must be an Admiral and the one who can arrive this fast is just Kizaru. Buggy is very excited to fight Kizaru again after a long time. Although he has another plot other than just fighting Kizaru.
He leaves the shocked pirates who still can't believe what they saw. Seeing someone from their generation being this strong makes them more motivated to get far stronger. But they need to leave this island alive first.
It's not just the pirates who get surprised by the Pacifista's defeat, the Marine that monitors the Pacifista also gets very surprised. They immediately report it to their superiors and also Vegapunk. It will be good data to improve the Pacifista.
Sometime after Buggy destroyed the Pacifista, he sees Hawkins, Urouge, and X-Drake face Kizaru and a Pacifista. Apoo watches from a rooftop and meddles in. He knows the 4 of them will get defeated very easily, an obvious result.
So he leaves and finally finds the Straw Hats who are now fighting a Pacifista and Sentomaru. He grins and hides to watch the kids fight. Buggy can see they've improved a lot since their fight on Sky Island, but this is not enough to defeat a Pacifista.
Hatchan is actually helping them, but he can only stop Sentomaru. Even though he is stronger than Sentomaru, he is not so strong that he can defeat Sentomaru instantly. And because of his appearance, Sentomaru calls 2 more Pacifistas to help.
Now, Hatchan is facing Sentomaru and a Pacifista while the Straw Hats face the other 2 Pacifistas. They are struggling really hard and Buggy just watches from the side amusedly. He is watching Leo who starts finding his own battle style, but it's clear that he is just trying some things.
Then when things look bad, it gets even worse. Kizaru finally arrives after defeating the other Supernovas. His priority is still the Straw Hats, so he left them and came here. Now the Straw Hats' nightmare will really appear.
