81: Chapter 81 Cooperation! Bucky in TurmoilHe pointed at Luffy in a panic, his voice trembling, and roared incoherently:
"You.you're not a rubber man?Where do you get so many strange and wonderful abilities?"
And another thing!Give me back my right hand right now—!That's part of my body—!
Luffy picked his nose with his little finger, then flicked it, his expression nonchalant, but his tone carrying a hint of vengeance:
"Who told you not to tell me where Shanks was.Well then I won't tell you where my abilities come from either~ Hehehe~" He even made a face.
Watching the two engage in an incomprehensible, god-like duel, a pirate lying on the ground feigning death, sweating profusely, whispered to his companion beside him:
"Hey.you.did you see that?What was that just now?Chains?A clone?"
Another pirate, also covered in sweat, lowered his voice and said in a terrified tone, "Idiot!You can eat anything, but you can't say anything!"
"Quickly pretend to faint!If we get caught up in a monster-level battle.we won't have enough lives!"
Some pirates who were cautiously peeking at the battle nearby agreed with this and scrambled into the deeper ruins and rubble, wishing they could bury themselves to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Buggy was furious at Luffy's stubborn and unyielding attitude, especially considering he'd lost his important right hand.But he still stubbornly shouted:
Even so.I won't tell you anything about Shanks!
"I've lived this long.and I've never met a man who has made me angrier than him!"
His voice sounded somewhat comical due to extreme agitation, but the resentment within was genuine."That Shanks guy.stole a huge amount of treasure from me—!"
That belongs to me, the great one!How dare you—!
Then, Bucky the Joker excitedly recounted in detail how Shanks had "tricked" him out of his treasure:
"Gibberish."
Looking at Buggy, who was so stubborn and filled with inexplicable resentment towards Shanks, Luffy touched his straw hat with a bit of a headache.
He thought for a few seconds, then suddenly understood, and his expression became relaxed and firm:
"Whatever, it doesn't matter!"
He grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distant horizon."Anyway.once I become the Pirate King.I'll definitely meet Shanks again, right?"
His belief never wavered.
Faced with Buggy's stubbornness and clamor, Luffy lost his patience.
"Next, I'll just knock you out of here!"
Luffy casually put his hands together and shouted:
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique—!"
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
A dense cloud of white smoke flashed by, and instantly more than a dozen identical Luffy figures wearing straw hats appeared in the center of the arena!
Each of them grinned, rubbing their hands together, and their rubber arms began to stretch backward to gather strength!
"Rubber, rubber—"
"Rubber, rubber—"
"Rubber-pistol-!"
A dozen or so Luffy shadow clones shouted at the same time, and dozens of rubber fists, like a storm, bombarded Buggy from all directions without any blind spots!
Fists rained down, almost completely blocking any space to dodge!
Faced with countless rubber fists hurtling towards him, Bucky was terrified!
"Eeya—!"
He screamed and, no longer caring about his image, immediately activated his Devil Fruit power!
"Fragmented and torn apart—the Great Schism—!"
Whoosh—!
His body instantly split into countless large and small fragments, trying to weave through the gaps in the dense rain of fists!
Head, torso, limbs, even fingers.countless fragments flew around in the air like a swarm of startled flies, narrowly avoiding each rubber fist.
However, this was exactly what Luffy wanted!
"Now!" A cunning glint flashed in the eyes of all Luffy's shadow clones at the same time!
Just as Bucky's body fragments were scattered to their maximum extent to avoid the attack—
As if possessing its own consciousness, all of Luffy's shadow clones' arms retracted, stealing things along the way!
Each rubber hand precisely grasped a piece of Bucky's body that was floating in the air or trying to return!
Arms, legs, ears, nose.
Even the iconic red nose of the original body was cheerfully held in the hand of a shadow clone!
"Got you~" A dozen Luffys grinned at the same time.
Bucky's countless fragments struggled in terror, but could not break free from the firm grip of the rubber hand!
"And then.here we go—!"
With all their might, all the shadow clones hurled the Buggy fragments they had grabbed at them in different directions across the sky!
"Eee .
In one direction, Bucky's terrified scream, along with his body fragments, transformed into streaks of meteors, soaring into the distant sky and gradually disappearing into the clouds.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
All the shadow clones completed their mission and disappeared into white smoke.
Luffy himself stood still, clapped his hands, looked in the direction where the Buggy fragments had disappeared, put his hands on his hips, and laughed triumphantly to the sky:
"We won!Hahaha!He's definitely not coming back now!"
The pirate, who had been diligently feigning death on the ground, cautiously raised his head, looked at the empty sky and the vanished captain, and, covered in sweat, stammered:
"Captain Bucky.was.was blasted into the sky."
"And it was broken into countless pieces.thrown, thrown everywhere."
The other pirate next to him swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Then.what should we do?"
The two exchanged a glance and reached a high degree of understanding.
In short…".Let's just faint first!"
After saying that, the two of them tilted their heads to the side and lay back down on the ground peacefully.
Zoro, who had been watching the fight from the sidelines with his arms crossed, couldn't help but smile as he observed Luffy's unbelievable yet incredibly effective fighting style.He said with a mix of amazement and teasing:
"Wow.I didn't expect you to have even more strange and unusual abilities.You're quite the mysterious captain."
The old mayor, Budru, looked at Luffy with a mixture of fear and bewilderment, his voice trembling:
"What.what kind of monster are you?"
What he saw and heard today completely overturned his understanding of things that he had held for decades.
Just then, Nami, who had been busy in the distance, struggled to drag out a bulging bundle that was bigger than herself from a small alley.
The bundle was heavy, clearly filled with things, and made a clanging metallic sound as it was dragged on the ground.
"Phew.Phew.Is it finally over now."
