Chapter 133 Shanks's Enlightenment
Buggy knelt on one knee, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, staining the broken ground red.
His body trembled slightly, and the power of Chop-Chop Fruit began to lose control. Those fragments of his body that had once been scattered at will were now as difficult to reassemble as rusty gears.
"Ahem... Is this the absolute justice of the new era?"
He raised his head, the clown makeup on his face was blurred by blood and sweat, but his eyes were burning with crazy fighting spirit.
"Ha...hahahaha!"
Buggy suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter mixed with the hoarseness of coughing up blood.
"As expected of those little devils Shanks said were scary! Interesting!"
He suddenly propped himself up, and although he was shaky, he still straightened his back, as if to prove something.
"Come on! Let me see how this so-called 'new era' is superior to the old one!!"
Luo walked forward slowly, the "Ghost Cry" in his hand emitting a cold blue light, and the ROOM area expanded silently, completely covering the space around Buggy.
"Buggy..."
Luo's voice was icy. "You've considered yourself 'immortal' from the very beginning, but in reality—"
He turned the blade and pointed it at Buggy's heart.
"You're just like the most vulnerable of ordinary people, only better at running away."
Buggy's pupils shrank, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still refused to admit defeat. "Don't...don't be ridiculous! I'm a legend on Roger's ship!! I'm the future—"
"Shut up, clown."
Luo interrupted coldly, "This is your limit."
High in the sky, Enel's golden hair danced wildly, and lightning flashed around him like thousands of swirling snakes.
His eyes turned into dazzling golden light, and he raised his scepter high, causing the thunder in the sky!
"Three hundred million volts, annihilation!"
"boom--!!!"
A lightning column with a diameter of tens of meters pierced through the clouds like a divine punishment, instantly engulfing Buggy's location!
Wherever the lightning passed, even the air was ionized into incandescent white plasma!
Buggy split his body frantically to avoid it, but this time——
"ROOM·Locked!"
Luo's surgical field was precisely locked, and Buggy's torso and brain were forcibly separated by space!
His limbs and internal organs were floating like scattered building blocks, but his heart and head were fixed in place and could not move!
"Damn it...!!"
Buggy's face was pale and his splitting ability was completely disordered!
At the moment Buggy was struggling——
Smoker's figure shot up into the sky like a black meteor!
His arms were completely elementalized, and the thick smoke condensed into giant black fists under the hardening of the armament color, with spiral airflow wrapped around the surface!
"Black Storm, White Emperor!!"
"Bang--!!!"
This punch directly shattered the clown nose on Buggy's face!
His facial features were distorted by the huge impact, and blood gushed out from all his orifices!
What was even more terrifying was that the spiral smoke wrapped around the fists penetrated into Buggy's body like a drill, twisting wildly between his muscles and bones!
"Ughh ...
Buggy let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his split body twitched like a broken doll!
When the smoke and dust cleared, Buggy lay like a rag in the rubble.
His body could no longer be reassembled and could only tremble in vain like a disassembled puppet.
Enel landed nearby, his golden eyes looking down at him from his Thor form.
Luo's knife tip pressed against Buggy's throat, and the blue light of the surgical field was like the breath of a Shinigami.
Smoker stood on the other side, dark smoke still swirling between his fists.
Buggy rolled his eyes with difficulty, scanning the three people.
After a moment, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"...I'm so f*****g unlucky..."
A turbid tear slid down from the corner of his eye.
"I...accept the outcome..."
Before he could finish his words, his head hit the ground hard and he fainted completely.
——The remnants of the old era were ultimately defeated by the edge of the new era.
"Click—!"
The moment the seastone handcuffs were locked, the crisp sound seemed to announce the end of an era.
Buggy was pressed heavily onto the prison van, his charred and tattered cape still retaining the absurd color of the past.
Smoker stood aside, his cigar already burnt out. "Confirmed target - Buggy Joker, former crew member of Roger Pirates, Buggy Express captain."
"By order of Admiral Rogge, Impel down to Level 6 for life imprisonment."
Luo flipped through the torn battle report in his hand and said, "Set off immediately to avoid any complications."
Enel stood high above, overlooking the dilapidated Buggy Express headquarters, a flash of light surging in his golden eyes. "These remnants of the Pirates, dare you still make a move?"
Before he finished speaking——
"boom!"
Two broken figures staggered out from the ruins.
"Let go of our captain!"
Mochi was covered in blood, and the long whip in his hand was crackling.
"Lord Buggy, we're here to rescue you!!"
Kabaji's scimitar reflected the light of the setting sun, and his expression was resolute.
Buggy heard the two people's roars, and his eyes, which were originally closed, trembled slightly, but then closed bitterly.
Enel sneered: "You don't know how to live or die!"
"Sizzle!"
Two golden lightning bolts, like Shinigami's sharp swords, mercilessly pierced through the chests of the two men. The charred figures fell to the ground with a bang, and their corpses were even emitting green smoke.
The Marine soldiers marched past the corpses in neat rows, without a single unnecessary expression. This place only belonged to - absolute justice.
As the last G5 battleship slowly left the port, the fierce sea breeze blew away the smoke on the battlefield.
This suppression, with the absolute advantage of zero casualties, completely shattered the last glory of the Buggy Pirates.
"Report! Vice Admiral Eleno!"
On the warship, the signalman stood at attention, his voice filled with urgency.
"Latest intelligence—Admiral Rogge demands that Buggy be escorted to G5! But…"
He looked up, his expression serious. "The Red Hair Pirates have appeared in the South Blue Sea and are approaching the battlefield!"
Enel stood at the bow, facing the distant horizon, a sinister grin curling his lips. "Shanks? Haha, if you're capable, come find me!"
Just as the sunset was about to fall into the horizon, an extremely huge red ship broke through the waves.
——Red Force, the flagship of the Red Hair Pirates.
At the bow, Shanks stood alone, one hand on his straw hat, his one eye fixed on the ruins of the destroyed city.
Benn Beckman stood beside him and lit a cigarette, his silent expression full of helplessness and complexity.
The roasted chicken leg that Laki Lu always kept in his hand fell to the ground and rolled into the Bloodline beside him. He looked at the ground blankly, and even his appetite was gone.
Shanks walked down the deck slowly, his steps heavy, each one seemed to step on the softest part of his heart.
He bent down and picked up a half-burned flag from the ruins - it was the logo of the Buggy Pirates, and the broken red-nosed smiling face had been distorted by the flames of war.
Shanks sighed softly, but his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"That guy... is obviously the one most afraid of death..."
With a loud bang, a punch slammed onto the deck, and Haki swept across the entire sea like a raging wave, and the clouds on the horizon were shattered in an instant!
"hateful--!!"
He pulled off his straw hat painfully, grabbed his red hair fiercely, and a rare look of regret appeared on his face.
"Again...slipped away from me again..."
Beckman silently exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "Now is not the time to dwell on the past... Captain, do you want to chase?"
Shanks slowly closed his single eye and took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze. When he opened his eyes again, the look in his eyes was as cold as the abyss.
"Beckman, tell everyone—"
"Get ready for a new storm."
He stood at the bow of Red Force, facing the direction of the Marine fleet that disappeared in the sea, his eyes more determined than ever before.
——Shanks Red Hair finally stopped hesitating.
