Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

441. Admirals' Power

The war moved to the plaza after the ice ground gotten destroyed. Whitebeard Pirates have invaded the plaza and the Marines are stopping them from getting closer to the execution platform.

Kuroko Buggy just watches them fight from the top of the wall. He lies sideways while supporting his head with his hand. If there are snacks, then he would've eaten snacks as if he is in a cinema or something.

The Marines can't even be bothered by him because their hands are already full to take care of Whitebeard Pirates. They can't bother to play with Kuroko's antiques, so they let him be. Sengoku still keeps an eye on him though because he can move so suddenly.

Kuroko Buggy is focusing on Whitebeard because he wants to know who'll stop that old beast now. Buggy has killed Akainu years ago, after all. So he is curious about it and he thought that maybe Garp or Sengoku would make their moves to stop Whitebeard.

But he is wrong and surprised by how it turns out to be. The one who stops Whitebeard from rampaging in the plaza is Kizaru. It would make more sense if it's Aokiji or even Fujitora. But it's actually Kizaru who is lazier than Aokiji.

"Heh, it seems the reports were true."

Kuroko Buggy recalls the reports he received from the spies he planted in the Marines. Kizaru was quite diligent in his training and now he is the strongest Admiral. The reason for his change of behavior is none other than Buggy.

Kizaru never won against Buggy since they fought for the first time. Now that Buggy has become the Strongest in The World, Kizaru thought that he also needs to be the strongest. Even Kizaru isn't sure himself why he is very competitive towards Buggy, but he really doesn't want to lose against the Clown.

Every time he heard about Buggy, the scars caused by their battles, especially the big cut scar on his torso itched. He felt like these scars would stop itching if he defeat Buggy. That's why he started training harder since Buggy became the Strongest by defeating Whitebeard.

Kizaru couldn't even defeat Enel in the Great War that killed Akainu. Well, Buggy stopped the war before they could fight using their full power, but it was still frustrating for Kizaru. Buggy's victory against Whitebeard finally changed him and he started to get more serious to get stronger.

Buggy hasn't confirmed this himself because he hasn't fought Kizaru since then. The Marine has been very careful with him since he defeated their Great Attack Squad and killed Sakazuki. He never made any moves that threaten them directly, so they never attacked him and only watched him from afar.

That's why Kuroko Buggy is surprised to see how powerful Kizaru has become. "I don't remember where I heard this, but I thought someone said that if Kizaru & Aokiji weren't lazy, they would be very powerful, even more powerful than Akainu. Wait, maybe Aokiji also trained harder like Kizaru and get stronger now. Heh, this will be fun."

Kuroko Buggy wants to see the reconstruction of the epic scene when Akainu stops Whitebeard's attack with his foot. But Whitebeard doesn't make the same attack though. He doesn't swing his weapon from below, but he swings it down after coating it with his quake power.

Kizaru suddenly appears and blocks the bisento using his vertical light kick. The impact of their clash spreads all over the battlefield, but no one dies because of it. "Ooh, what a scary attack. That one was really dangerous, Whitebeard."

"Gurarara, Kizaru, do you want to stop me alone?"

"Obviously~. I can't let you rampage more than this and destroy this place."

"I don't know if you are being serious right now when you talk like that. But you were having a hard time against Marco. Can you really stop me, lamp brat?"
