Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

424. Sir Crocodile

The rebels' attacks surprise the agents who thought they were still allies. They don't know that Leo and Robin have made the rebels switch sides. The surprise attacks make many agents get taken out because they weren't ready.

But these agents have a lot of experience, so they overcome their confusion fast and fight the rebels back. The war happens just outside Alubarna, so the soldiers can see it. They are confused because they've expected to get attacked by the rebels and agents.

Just like them, Crocodile who supervises the plan is confused and furious. He has planned things thoroughly, but suddenly things don't go as he planned. Everything has gone well so far, after all, so he didn't expect something like this to happen.

"What the hell happened?"

Crocodile clicks his tongue before looking at the palace.

"It seems I need to do this myself."

Leo is now helping the rebels on the battlefield using his swordsmanship. He doesn't use his devil fruit ability though to save his energy. The war has just started, after all, and he needs to fight the main agents, so he needs to save his energy.

Still, even without his devil fruit, Leo is too powerful for these normal bounty hunters. Leo can defeat them with every slash of his blades and Robin doesn't do anything. She just watches from a safe place as everyone else fights.

Robin has a job to do now, which is to find the Straw Hat Pirates. She uses her devil fruit ability to look all over Alubarna to find them by growing eyes & ears using her flower petals. Robin has looked everywhere, but she can't find the Straw Hats.

"Leo, it seems they haven't arrived yet."

"What? Damn, then Koza might fail if Vivi hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh no! Crocodile is moving towards the palace."

"Shit! I need to go there now. Robin, try to keep these guys alive."

Leo runs off after saying that and he moves fast by gliding on the ground using fire on his feet. He goes to the palace very fast and encounters Koza who actually succeeds at persuading the soldiers.

"Koza! Go to the battlefield now, I will go to the palace. Crocodile is going there."

"What?! Then I'll go too."

"No! You need to lead the others, leave Crocodile to me. I can at least hold him for a while."

"Tch, fine, just stay alive."

"I don't plan to die yet."

Leo keeps rushing to the palace while Koza goes to the battlefield with the soldiers. Leo doesn't say it, but he's impressed at Koza for succeeding at persuading the soldiers. Although maybe it's also because the rebels are fighting the agents, so the soldiers believe him more easily.

After a while, Leo arrives in front of the palace and thinks of a way to get inside. But then he hears a battle sound from above, so he propels himself up by shooting fire from his feet. He can't reach it though because it's too high for him.

"Goddamn, it's really high. I can't reach it."

Leo suddenly realizes that he is still limiting himself to do things that he has never done before. He laughs a little because he knows this is the reason he couldn't grow fast. So he smirks before using a lot of his energy to fly up by transforming himself into a fire and shooting himself up.

He succeeds and he smiles widely because it actually works and it doesn't use a lot of his energy. Leo doesn't know yet that by transforming into a fire, he also reduces his body weight because it's now a fire. So he can fly easier and if he masters it, he can fly freely.
