Kizaru's arrival is simply a very bad thing for the Straw Hats right now. They are already having a hard time fighting 2 Pacifistas. But now Kizaru will fight them alongside the Pacifistas while Hatchan is fighting Sentomaru and a Pacifista, so he can't help them.

Buggy watches as Kizaru bullies the Straw Hats like an adult fighting kids. No one among the Straw Hats can touch Kizaru. The only one who has the chance to do it is Leo with his Fire Logia power that can affect Kizaru's light body because fire & light are energy, so they affect each other.

But both of them are in very different leagues right now. So even though his fire ability gives him the biggest chance among everyone in the crew, he still doesn't have a chance to even hurt Kizaru. The Straw Hats simply don't have a chance to win this at all.

Sometime later, Rayleigh appears and assists the Straw Hats when they are cornered. He stops Kizaru so that the Straw Hats just need to focus on a Pacifista. Yes, they just need to fight 1 because Hatchan has almost destroyed the Pacifista he fought.

Sentomaru ordered one of the Pacifistas that fought Straw Hats to assist him & the almost-broken Pacifista. Kizaru alone was enough to stop the Strae Hats, after all. So taking 1 of the 2 Pacifistas was not a problem, at least until Rayleigh appeared.

Now, with Rayleigh stopping Kizaru, the Straw Hats just need to face a Pacifista. It isn't easy though because they are tired and some are injured, especially Leo & Zoro. Zoro still has yet to recover after being beaten by Kuma on Thriller Bark.

As for Leo, he has recovered from his injuries on Thriller Bark actually. He has a very strong metabolism that allows him to recover from injuries very fast. It is surely a genetic trait he got from his parents that defies common sense.

Anyway, he is now injured, but his current injuries are caused by the fight against Kizaru. Leo is the one who attacks Kizaru the most and Kizaru hits him more than the others because he is the only threat to Kizaru there. Although he would get even more beatings if Kizaru knows he is Buggy's son. As an Admiral, he can't let an Emperor's son grow like his father, after all.

While watching the fight that overwhelms the Straw Hats, Buggy is approached by someone. It's none other than the real Bartholomew Kuma who will turn into a cyborg. Both of them have been in contact for years after Dragon introduced them.

"Your current appearance is really deceiving. Even the system in my brain is recognizing you as 'Babysitter' Kuroko instead of 'Clown Lord' Buggy. Anyway, it's time to execute the plan to save Dragon's son and his crew. I won't harm your children, Clown Lord, so don't worry."

"Sure, your plan will surely help them grow by showing them their current standing. But I have a small request, Kuma."

Buggy tells Kuma his request and Kuma agrees easily. There is no plan dangerous enough for Buggy, the Strongest Individual in the world. So Kuma agrees and charges the paw pads in his right hand for a while before hitting Buggy's stomach as strongly as he can.

Kuroko Buggy flies very fast and hits Kizaru who fights Rayleigh now. He doesn't coat his body with Haki, so he can't touch Kizaru. The crash simply breaks Kizaru's body into bits of light, so he keeps flying until he crashes very hard into a Giant Mangrove.

It takes everyone's attention, so they look at the crashing spot. They see Buggy comes out of the dust cloud with blood dripping out of his mouth. He also looks to be in very bad shape even though he only got hit once by Kuma. Well, it's because Buggy made sure to lower his defense to the minimum and he also hit himself a few times using advanced haki before Kuma hit him.

"That is BABYSITTER!"

Sentomaru shouts in surprise when he sees Kuroko Buggy. Kizaru also seems interested while Rayleigh is raising an eyebrow because he doesn't know what Buggy is planning now. He knows about Buggy's undercover, but Rayleigh never thought Buggy would appear like this.
