Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Luffy's fist slammed, Buggy easily dodged it, raised his dagger, his face was even more dangerous: "Your outstretched arm is really full of defects!"
Seeing that the dagger was about to slash his arm, Luffy's hand had already grabbed the pillar in front, and his whole body greeted Buggy: "Gomu Gomu no Scythe!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Buggy stopped hacking: "Bara Bara no Emergency escape!"
His whole body became into segments, and flew in all directions like a pile of pieces, dodging Luffy's attacks. Unable to stop, Luffy smashed a wooden house into ruins.
At this time, Nami was hiding in the darkness and kept peeking at them. She had never seen a battle between devil fruit powers, and she thought to herself: 'Okay... what a terrible battle, this is like a dream.'
As Luffy crawled out of the wreckage, Buggy pointed his hand full of daggers at him: "Bara Bara Cannon!"
This time, Luffy was slightly off guard, and the skin under his temple was scratched twice.
The attack wasn't over yet, Buggy's other hand with the dagger directly hit Luffy's heart.
Seeing this, Kondo finally made his move.
"Stupid rubber, I don't know how long it will take. Next, leave it to me!"
"But that sword can't hurt that person."
Kondo smiled: "Have you forgotten what I said before? I have a new move I want to try."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing that Luffy stepped aside for a while, and Kondo moved, Buggy even looked down on him: "Demon, isn't your head not very good, just because you are a swordsman who wants to beat me? disgusting"
"Big red nose, if you want to hit him, just hit him, you have a lot of crap." Kondo said lightly.
Kondo repeatedly talked about his nose, and Buggy's anger almost reached the point: "I have to... kill you!"
"Ittoryū · Shushō!"
Kondo didn't say anything else, the sword tip condensed with sword intent and flew towards Buggy.
"Whoa, idiot!"
Bucky didn't hide, let him cut and come, and sure enough, his body was cut, but it didn't work at all.
"Bara Bara Return!"
Buggy withdrew his hand and attacked Kondo. Kondo, as if he expected it, turned around sharply and instantly changed the path of his blade: "Ittoryū • Rhino Strike!"
Strength gathered at the tip of the sword, stabbed like a spear, and was hit by the dagger but with the rising temperature, Buggy felt like the dagger was burning.
"Hado#1: Sho!"
Taking advantage of this gap, a faint halo appeared at Kondo's fingertips, and a faint white light suddenly appeared.
Buggy pulled his hand back suddenly, and the small shockwave pierced through a small hole in the ground.
Buggy: "Demon, it seems, I still underestimated you..."
Kondo: "Okay, warm-up is over!"
"Warm up practice... don't embarrass yourself in there and see how I execute you!"
Kondo snorted coldly, and pointed his sword directly at Buggy: "Although you are considered a pirate in East Blue, if you meet me today, you are out of luck!"
"Smelly boy! Don't talk big..."
Before Buggy could finish speaking, he saw that the color of Kondo's blade had become redder and he felt the temperature around him growing hot.
At this time, Buggy was a little confused in his heart: 'Okay... something seems wrong'
"After fighting continuously and increasing my strength, even though I still can't use Shikai, but with my fire-like Reiatsu, I can do this!"
After speaking, Kondo's sword started to be enveloped by a thin flame and the temperature around it started to rise.
"Fire? Did Kondo also eat the devil fruit" Luffy on the side felt a little weird.
Seeing Buggy again, he still looked a bit confused.
"Even though it's still small, it's hot enough for normal people, but if you put it with Kido and Shunpo's combination, how would you react?"
Kondo said, and suddenly disappeared.
Buggy looked around, confused. In an instant, the surrounding temperature started to rise and a small slash landed on Buggy's body, but Buggy felt a tingling pain as he swung the blade downwards.
Suddenly Kondo appeared behind him with the blood on his Zanpakutō slowly evaporating while looking at Buggy behind him thinking, 'Damn it, using Shunpo, Kido and the Zanpakutō that I'm imbued with my Reiatsu, this really makes me a little tired.'
Nami, who was in the dark, was shocked when she saw him: "Oh my god, what kind of ability does Kondo have? This is even weirder than Luffy, A swordsman can actually hurt Buggy?"
"It hurts! You bastard!" Buggy screamed in pain, with obvious scars on his arms.
Now Kondo understands a little, slashes or any sword techniques, most of them might be avoided by Buggy, but with a Zanpakutō infused with Reiatsu, 'So I can injure a devil fruit user with Reiatsu huh? It's interesting now'
Buggy removed his hand from his arm again, and the blade released and spun away.
When Kondo saw this, his mind moved, and slashed his katana forward which easily blocked the attack.
"Don't be so complacent! How could I lose to you for just 5 million on 15 million?"
Buggy seemed to be a little out of breath, with sharp blades hidden in his feet, his hands and feet left his body, and bright sharp blades attacked Kondo from all directions.
An evil smile appeared at the corner of Kondo's mouth: "If this is the case, you will kill yourself! Bakudo#4: Hainawa" a crackling yellow energy string appeared in his hand, Kondo threw it at Buggy. Energy swirled around his arms and body then immobilized him.
"Nice job, Kondo!"
Seeing that Buggy was under control, Luffy stepped forward and spread his arms: "Gomu Gomu no Gatling gun!"
"No, no!"
Not long after, Buggy's body was hit dozens of times, and he fell like a dead dog, and his limbs and body were scattered on the ground.
At this time, Nami did something bad and put Buggy's body in a bag and packed it tightly.
When Buggy got together again, only limbs and head remained, which made Kondo laugh out loud.
"Damn thief! Give me back!" Buggy shouted angrily.
Luffy also grinned: "Go to hell Buggy!"
"Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!"
He stretched his arms backwards, and then suddenly thrust forward, hitting Buggy straight into the sky, and he didn't know where it landed.
Buggy was defeated, and Buggy's treasures and maps also fell into the hands of Luffy and the others.
"Hey Zoro, let's go!"
"Has the enemy been eliminated?" Zoro stretched, then rubbed his sleepy eyes.
In Zoro's eyes, defeating enemies seems to be commonplace, and he believes in Kondo and Luffy's strength.
"Well, it's all done, and I got the chart."
"Okay, let's go..."
In this way, Nami also joined Luffy and the others.
While on the ship, Kondo was practicing by swinging his katana 10,000 times.
"What are you saying? You didn't take the treasure?!"
On the boat, Nami's startled roar came.
"That... I don't know where to put it, I forgot... We're going to the Grand Line, a map is enough, right?" Luffy lifted his nose and looked indifferent.
"Do you know how much money that is?!" Nami pushed Luffy to the side of the boat angrily "That's over 10 million Berry treasures, 10 million! You're really saying they don't have any use?"
"Stop, I can't swim. Why don't you get some yourself?"
"Didn't I give it to you back then?"
"I forgot."
"You fool!"
Luffy and Nami were noisy, Kondo and Zoro kept laughing on the side.
"This is too reckless." Nami sighed involuntarily while touching her chin.
"What is wrong?"
"If you enter the Grand Line like this..."
Luffy: "Yeah, it's really impossible without meat."
"I didn't say anything to eat!"
Zoro lay on the deck with a relaxed look: "It's more uncomfortable to drink without wine."
Kondo who was still swinging his sword but his expression was the same as Zoro: "Well, if there's wine and meat, that would be perfect."
A small blue vein exploded on Nami's forehead: "Don't just think about eating and drinking! I mean the Grand Line is very dangerous, there are many people who want to go treasure hunting, and their boats must be very powerful, our ships and personnel are too weak."
Nami was right, even though Kondo and the others had captured Gary the Ghost Fist's ship, this ship might not be enough to go to the Grand Line, not to mention its poor condition due to the previous dozen fights.
Luffy tilted his head: "Then what's your plan?"
Nami opened the chart: "There is a village in the south direction from here, go there first, if you can find a sturdy ship, that would be better!"
Luffy raised his fist high: "There is meat to eat!"
"I wonder what's on your mind besides meat" said Kondo who was still swinging his Zanpakutō, Zoro who saw him couldn't help asking when he thought about the fight with Gary in Ghost Fist.
"Kondo, when we were fighting Gary, the temperature on the ship suddenly became quite hot, was that what you did?"
"Yeah that's right, I experimented while fighting that Ghost Fist and it worked."
...
East Blue, Syrup Village.
A young man with a long nose, curly hair wearing a bandanna and carrying a bag, standing at the entrance of a village or a hill leading to the sea, looking at the endless sea, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hmm, today's weather is really nice, Hmm, it's a shame if on a sunny day like this I don't do my job!"
He was Usopp, and he was still a normal young man in Syrup Village.
Then he turned and ran back to the village, shouting: "Everyone, it's not good! The pirates have entered the village!"
Or you could call him a liar.
"What? Pirates?"
"That man Usopp screamed again."
"Oh Usopp screaming again? Looks like it's time for me to go to work."
Every day, Usopp puts on the story "The Pirates are Coming", and everyone has long been accustomed to this.
"Wow haha... I lied to you!" After the joke ended, Usopp had a triumphant expression on his face.
"Usopp you bastard, I have to teach you a lesson today!" He's also a bit hot-tempered. He couldn't stand Usopp's daily fuss.
There were more than one person holding him down for a long time, and many villagers were running around with brooms, hoes and wooden sticks: "You bastard, stop for me!"
Usopp ran ahead, but laughed: "Come on, come on, come and chase me!"
The villagers were furious, but Usopp seemed to be enjoying himself. As the villagers grew tired of chasing and slowly dispersed, he seemed to have a great sense of satisfaction.
After solving the incident, Usopp hid in a tree at the entrance of the village: "I'm so glad I did such a good job this morning, The boring village wouldn't be lively without me!
At the same time, Kondo and the other four also arrived at Syrup Village.
Kondo: "There really is a village here."
Nami: "Of course, we followed the map."
Zoro stretched his waist: "Ah! It's been a long time since I stepped on the ground."
Luffy: "That's because you're always sleeping."
Little did they know that Usopp was up in the tree at the entrance of the village, watching them secretly.
"However, I felt strange from the start..." Zoro's perception seemed to exceed that of ordinary people, "That's because someone is watching us you idiot" I added while pointing towards the tree.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a figure in the tree, "Who are you ?!"
Usopp didn't expect that he would be found, and fell from the tree in fright. He forced his Courage and clasped his hands: "I am the leader of this village, Usopp! People call me the great Usopp. Captain Usopp! I advise you to give up the idea of attacking this village, as there are 80 million troops under my command!"
Nami looked at him quietly: "Nonsense!"
Usopp held his head in his hands and was surprised: "Wow! You really saw her! What a smart woman!"
Seeing him like this, Luffy laughed sideways: "Hahaha, you are so funny."
Usopp: "Hey, Teme! Don't insult me! I'm a very proud man, because of my great pride, people call me Usopp's pride, you saw it yourself just now!, my catapult is better than your gun!"
"Now that you've drawn your gun, your life is at stake" Luffy said as he lowered his hat until it shadowed his eyes.
"Huh?!" Usopp who heard it became confused but also trembled.
"I said that not to threaten anyone"
Zoro and Kondo who heard immediately grinned.
"What you see now is a real pirate" said Zoro while slightly drawing and showing his sharp blade, Kondo just grinned and his Reiatsu increased causing the temperature around him to rise.
And Usopp who heard it was sweating with fear.
"Oi, until when are you just holding back the bullets?" Kondo said in a different tone than usual, because the process of merging or Extraction was increasing and also because Kondo possessed All of Yamamoto's memories, unknowingly, Kondo started to be affected subconsciously.
Usopp, who was getting scared, immediately let go and the bullets fell on the ground and he sat down and sighed
"Real pirates really can reverse words, cool"
After that Luffy, Zoro and Kondo looked at each other and laughed
"Hahahhaha, I took it from someone!"
"Huh?"
"I borrowed those words from shanks!"
"Huh?! You know that great pirate Shanks?!"
"Yes, you, your father Yassop right?"
"Eh? Ehhh?! Yassop is indeed my parent but how do you know about that?"
Usopp became very friendly with him, and Luffy really liked him, so he took everyone to a restaurant in the village.
"It turns out that you are looking for a big boat and a partner." After listening to Kondo, Usopp suddenly came to his senses.
"Yeah, it's a big adventure." Luffy said, popping a piece of meat into his mouth.
Usopp raised his index finger: "Although it's not a big boat, there is only one place in the village where there is a boat."
"that place?"
Usopp continued: "There is a very rich house in the village, and its owner is a very poor girl, who is weak and sick in bed all year round."
Nami couldn't help but wonder: "Why is that girl the mistress of the house?"
Luffy lifted his plate: "Boss! Bring me another piece of meat!"
Zoro: "I want some wine!"
Kondo: "Let's have fried rice with curry again!"
Usopp's eyes bulged and his teeth became sharper: "You guys! Listen to me seriously!"
Then, Usopp said that the girl's parents died a year ago, and left her a huge inheritance and a dozen maids.
When Nami heard this, she seemed to be moved with pity: "Forget it, I think it's better not to look for a boat here, and look elsewhere."
"Hey, didn't you just say that you were looking for a partner?"
Luffy looked stupid: "What? Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Usopp gave himself a thumbs up, a confident expression on his face: "I can be your captain!"
Luffy and Kondo simultaneously: "No need!"
"Don't jump to conclusions!"
...
Rich House.
Kaya was lying in the hospital bed with a melancholic expression on her face. She gently greeted the housekeeper beside her: "Klahadore..."
"Any orders? Ms. Kaya?"
"I want to meet Usopp..."
Butler Klahadore stood up straight: "Why do you want to see him again?"
Kaya: "I just wanted to talk to him."
Hearing this, a gloom crossed Klahadore's face: "No, how many times have I said it, he is the most arrogant person in this village, and he will be a bad influence on you."
Hearing this, Kaya was slightly angry: "Klahadore!"
And Klahadore closed his eyes: "It's fine to say I hate him, no, no, no. Usopp's boasting will annoy your body."
"I can still survive!" Kaya said angrily.
Klahadore pushed up his glasses with the palm of his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "Your deceased parents had told me to protect you well, so I specially arranged guards, all for your safety and for your sake, Miss!"
Klahadore was not evil, but Kaya sighed: "I see."
"Good to know, the medicine is here, don't forget to take it." He then placed the small medicine bottle on the table.
"I know..."
Klahadore turned and just walked away, but Kaya heard a voice outside the window.
She opened the window, and when she saw the person in front of her, she immediately smiled:
"Usopp!"
