Chapter 132: Fallen Apart
[Before the Battle · Solbe Kingdom · Buggy Express Peripheral Area]
The southern city of the Kingdom of Solbe has been quietly surrounded by G5Marine.
Groups of elite soldiers dressed in solemn black armor, armed with standard spears and special Seastone equipment, hid in various streets and high platforms under Luo's orders.
In the direction of the port, the Marine flag was flying high, and the huge ships were like a wall, completely blocking all the retreat routes of Buggy Express.
"Hurry up! We're entering a military restricted area ahead!"
"All civilians evacuate immediately. No one is allowed to stay within a five-kilometer radius!"
The detachment commander ordered the soldiers to evacuate the crowd to prevent the fighting from affecting innocent people.
"Deployment complete, all civilians safely evacuated."
————
The awakening of the Chop-Chop Fruit has allowed Buggy's abilities to reach an unprecedented and bizarre level.
Buggy stood on the shattered space cube in mid-air, as if stepping on invisible stairs. His eyes swept over the unconscious Mochi and Kabaji not far away, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Tsk, two idiots..."
He raised his hand and waved it, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly split apart, turning into floating cubes that lifted up Mochi and Kabaji and slowly sent them to a safe area in the distance.
"captain..."
Mochi murmured unconsciously in his coma.
Buggy turned his back to them and cursed in a low voice: "Don't cause trouble for Laozi..."
Then, he turned around abruptly, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp!
"Come on, Marine!"
Buggy slammed his hands together—
"Shattered and disintegrated!"
"BOOM--!!!"
The entire Buggy Express building was instantly cut into countless pieces, with bricks, steel bars, and glass all suspended in mid-air, like a strange weightless storm!
Luo, Smoker, and Enel jumped up at the same time, each using their own abilities to stabilize their bodies.
"ROOM Slaughterhouse!"
Luo's blade flashed with a cold blue light, heading straight for Buggy's throat!
Buggy grinned, and his body suddenly split into dozens of pieces, easily avoiding the slash!
"Shattered into pieces is immune to slashing attacks!"
He taunted, his split body reassembled in the air, and he punched Luo with his backhand!
Luo's pupils shrank, and he urgently evaded by replacing items in the ROOM, but Buggy's fist suddenly split into countless small fist shadows, bombarding from all directions!
"Shattered into pieces. Shotgun punch!"
"Bang, bang, bang—!"
Luo was hit by several fist shadows covered in armed colors, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still cold.
"Scalpel!"
He swung the knife, trying to cut Buggy's guts, but—
Buggy's body split apart again, and his internal organs were dispersed along with his power, so Law's attack missed again!
"It's no use, kid!"
Buggy laughed wildly, "Laozi's fruit has long been awakened to the point where it can split internal organs!"
Enel snorted coldly and raised the golden scepter high:
"Two hundred million volts of thunder!"
Violent lightning bolts descended from the sky, but Buggy simply raised his hand and waved—
"Shattered and Refracted!"
The lightning column was unexpectedly distorted by the split space and refracted towards Smoker!
Smoker roared, his whole body dissipated into smoke, avoiding the lightning strike, and at the same time, his fists were wrapped with Armament Haki, and he slammed it towards Buggy!
"White Fist Heavy Artillery!"
Buggy didn't dodge or evade, allowing Smoke's punch to pierce his chest - however, his body split apart again, and the part that was pierced by the fist instantly reassembled, leaving him unharmed!
"It's no use, Smoke Man!"
Buggy smirked, "Your attack can't even touch Laozi's Kakuzu!"
Suddenly, Buggy's palm stretched out from the crack in the void, grabbed Smoker's neck, and elbowed him away with an elbow strike!
Smoker gritted his teeth, turned into mist in the air and changed his moves, and swept across with his ten hands wrapped around Haki!
Buggy's body split apart again, but this time, Smoker's ten arms suddenly erupted with thick black smoke—
"Smoke Prison·Imprisonment!"
Buggy's split body was briefly restrained by the smoke. Luo seized the opportunity and used "Ghost Cry" to deliver a fatal blow!
"Gamma Knife!"
A blue light flashed, and Buggy's chest was pierced!
However--
Buggy smiled.
"You think... this is the end?"
His body split apart again, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Breaking apart, cells reassembling!"
Buggy's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next second——
"Bang!"
Smoker regrouped and attacked from behind again, but Buggy seemed to have anticipated this. His body split and dissipated, and he kicked Smoker away, sending him directly into the ruins in the distance!
"Sizzle!"
Buggy stood on top of the ruins, looking down at the three of them, laughing arrogantly:
"This is the strength of the Pirates King crew!"
"These new-age brats...are still a long way off!"
During the fierce confrontation, Luo's pupils suddenly shrank!
(After each division, his recombination speed slowed down...)
(and...)
Luo noticed a key detail: Buggy never had the same body part split twice in a row!
The head and torso, in particular, always remain relatively intact.
(I see...)
Luo curled his lips into a cold smile and suddenly growled:
"Enel, Smoker, follow my lead!"
"His abilities have limits—excessive fragmentation can lead to a loss of control, and..."
"He dares not split the vital parts!"
The three of them changed their tactics instantly!
Enel suddenly burst out with all his strength, and lightning swept across the battlefield like a tsunami!
"Three Hundred Million Volts Thunder Tide!"
Buggy was forced to split his body into pieces to avoid the attack, but this time—
"ROOM Baton!"
Luo precisely manipulated Buggy's split body, deliberately keeping his head and torso fragments away from each other!
"What?!"
Buggy's face suddenly changed. "You b*****d—"
Smoker seized the opportunity and punched Buggy in the face with his armed iron fist!
"Bang!"
Buggy's nose bridge shattered and blood spurted out!
Buggy stumbled back, his split body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
"Damn..."
He wiped the blood from his nose, his eyes sinister, "Have you seen through me..."
"The Chop-Chop Fruit's weakness is that the more times it splits, the less control it has."
"and..."
He turned the blade and sneered:
"You wouldn't dare completely separate the brain and the heart, would you?"
"Because it will kill you!"
Buggy's pupils contracted violently!
Standing on the top of the ruins in mid-air, the scorching sun made his exaggerated clown makeup look like a ghost mask from hell, and the red and blue hair on his head fluttered in the wind.
He opened his arms, and countless cracks in his body twisted like an abyss. Spatial cracks extended along his body, as if they would tear the world apart at any time.
"Shattered into pieces, fractured!"
With a loud shout, the earth was split open by invisible spatial cracks. Streets, buildings, and even the dark clouds floating in the sky were cut into regular geometric shapes at this moment, as if the world itself had been broken down into building blocks by Buggy's ability!
The entire area turned into a weightless field, with countless broken earth plates suspended in mid-air. The streets were like distorted mirror images, and the light was refracted into strange colors.
Smoker's face was solemn as he stared at Buggy's figure. The smoke around him was almost dispersed by the space cracks.
Luo's ROOM was constantly being torn apart and forcibly reshaped, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Enel looked up, his brow furrowed. "...This clown is no longer human anymore."
Buggy laughed out loud, his voice shaking the sky. "Hahahaha!! Lord Buggy on the pirate king Roger's ship, does he really need to be taught a lesson by a little brat?! You are too naive!!"
His body suddenly burst into brilliant golden light, and countless metal fragments, steel bars, and stones were swept into the turbulent flow of space, transforming into terrifying battlefield weapons.
"Shattered into pieces, deconstructed!!"
With a loud shout, the building debris floating in the air suddenly decomposed into high-speed spinning cutting blades, sweeping towards the three people like a space storm!
Enel's eyes turned cold: "Ten Thousand Thunders Snake Dance!"
The dark clouds in the sky suddenly lowered, and dense thunders danced like thousands of snakes, slamming into the twisted space storm!
Smoker gritted his teeth and roared, smoke surged like a raging wave, blocking the violent space layer by layer.
"White Fist Wind Prison!"
Luo was extremely calm and opened his hands suddenly:
"ROOM Zero Boundary Explosion!"
An extremely compressed space field forcefully squeezed, trying to completely seal Buggy's body in a microscopic space.
Buggy sneered, his eyes gleaming with gold. "Want to lock Laozi up?! Dream on!"
He suddenly shouted, and his body disintegrated into countless space fragments. He stepped on Luo's space blockade area and swooped down from a high altitude. The whole person was like a split meteorite, carrying the force of space fault cutting and rushing straight towards the three people!
Enel's eyes flashed, and his Thunder God form was instantly released, his entire body transforming into pure thunder: "Thunder God - Divine Punishment!"
Smoker roared: "White Fist Storm Cannon!"
The strongest Haki is wrapped around Law's Devil's Crying Sword: "Gamma Knife - Extreme Cut!"
The three forces converged at the same time, transforming into a fatal blow, colliding violently with Buggy's space-fragmented body in mid-air!
——The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the void shook!
This blow was like a huge crack torn across the sky of the entire Solbe Kingdom!
Buggy's figure was finally shot down and crashed into the ruins, stirring up a huge wave of dust!
