บท 57: Chapter 57 : Both for war and for peace!!
Two towering waves crashed into Marineford Square, sending massive surges of water in all directions!
Buggy and Sengoku leaped simultaneously, evading the waves as they charged at each other!
Buggy swung his sword downward, while Sengoku countered with a punch. As their attacks collided, Buggy's sword shattered into pieces before Sengoku's astonished eyes!
Sengoku's punch missed, and the sheer force of the wind from his fist gouged a large hole in the ground behind Buggy!
However, the fragments of Buggy's broken sword turned into a flurry of afterimages, striking Sengoku with a series of metallic "clang" sounds!
Buggy frowned. It seemed that Sengoku's golden appearance wasn't just for show; it granted him a defense as strong as iron skin!
Sengoku also frowned, perplexed by Buggy's peculiar abilities and unsure of his background!
With a swift motion, Sengoku struck out with his other hand, launching a massive shock wave towards Buggy!
Buggy drew another sword from his waist, the azure blue slash slicing the shock wave in two once again!
But this time, the azure blue slash merged with the shock wave!
Buggy waved his hand, and the shock wave split into two arcs, circling around to attack Sengoku!
Sengoku leaped high into the air, dodging the shock wave, and sent another shock wave crashing down towards Buggy!
Buggy's pupils shrank as he saw Armament Haki in Sengoku's palm. He knew he couldn't use his Devil Fruit ability to counter this strike!
Buggy retreated swiftly, and Sengoku's palm slammed into the ground, causing it to crack and shatter!
However, Sengoku did not seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, he retracted his hand and fixed his gaze on Buggy, saying, "Buggy the Clown, you've been lying low for twenty years. What is your purpose here?"
Buggy spread his hands, surveyed the battlefield filled with shouts and screams, and smiled. "Isn't it obvious, Fleet Admiral Sengoku? My purpose is war!"
Sengoku clenched his fists and replied coldly, "Your purpose can't be that simple! A man as ambitious as you must have a deeper plan!"
Since Buggy's appearance, everything had been shrouded in uncertainty, making Sengoku extremely cautious of him. Sengoku directly questioned Buggy's intentions to see if Buggy would be arrogant enough to reveal his true motives.
There is no doubt that the world is full of such people, and they make up the majority. Especially when their carefully laid plans are about to succeed, these long-dormant schemers often boast about their efforts, wisdom, and ambitions to glorify their image.
Of course, even if Buggy chose not to speak, Sengoku could still glean useful information from his reactions. For instance, Buggy's plan might have just begun, and it wasn't time to reveal it yet. Or perhaps Buggy was simply too cautious to care about reputation.
Buggy was unaware of the many thoughts running through Sengoku's mind and pondered, "If you ask me, my goal is not just war, but also peace!"
"As for why I am here, it's both a long-laid plan and a spur-of-the-moment decision!" Buggy declared.
"To put it simply, I plan to cripple or kill the dog first, then let its master come out and fight!"
Sengoku's pupils shrank at these words, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Your target is the World Government?!"
"No," Buggy shook his head, a bright smile spreading across his face. "To be precise, my target is the entire world!"
Sengoku was stunned. For a moment, he seemed to see a terrifying figure looming behind Buggy.
Realizing something, Sengoku clenched his fists, his expression turning grim.
Raising his hand again, his five fingers clenched, golden lightning flashed around his fist. He said seriously, "I understand! If that's the case, I'll stop you here, even if it costs me my life!"
Buggy raised an eyebrow, puzzled by Sengoku's sudden fervor. But when he saw the lightning encircling Sengoku's fist, his expression grew serious.
"Then you can give it a try! Though I lack experience, I'll make you my first!"
Buggy swung his sword, the dark hue of Armament Haki spreading along the blade, followed by sky-blue lightning wrapping around it.
"Die!"
"One Sword Style: Divine Departure!"
Buggy and Sengoku rushed towards each other, their sword and fist clashing, only to be stopped by an invisible force when they were still ten centimeters apart!
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying force exploded in all directions as golden and blue lightning intertwined, tearing the entire sky apart!
"Oh my god, the sky is cracking!!!"
The fight between Buggy and Sengoku drew everyone's attention! Even Bullet, Garp, Whitebeard, Akainu, and others who were fiercely battling couldn't help but look.
"The red-nosed kid from Roger's ship? He's been hiding his strength well!" Whitebeard remarked, blood dripping from his mouth. He casually tossed aside Crocodile, who looked like a lifeless ragdoll, and turned to the battered Blackbeard and Akainu. "Don't underestimate me either!"
Whitebeard raised his naginata, its blade crackling with lightning.
Akainu and Blackbeard exchanged wary glances; neither wanted to face Whitebeard's next blow.
On another battlefield, Bullet and Garp abandoned defense, clashing with raw power!
The shockwaves from their punches alone were enough to keep others at a distance, let alone intervene!
Suddenly, Garp landed a punch squarely on Bullet's face. To Garp's surprise, Bullet didn't retaliate but instead flew backward, creating some distance.
Garp didn't pursue him. He stood his ground, breathing heavily, and eyed Bullet with confusion.
Bullet twisted his neck and said, "Time spares no one, Garp. I never thought your fists would feel so weak today!"
Garp frowned, replying in a deep voice, "You'll find out just how strong my fists are if you dare to test them again!"
"No," Bullet shook his head, a fierce determination in his eyes. "I'm done playing around with your fists. The warm-up is over. It's time to get serious! I can't let that kid Buggy steal all the glory!"
Garp realized something was off and demanded, "Bullet, what are you planning to do?"
With a hearty laugh, Bullet responded, "Hahaha, of course, it's a fight! Now, let me show you the true power of my awakened devil fruit!"
As he spoke, a wave of dark blue fluid surged from beneath his feet, rapidly spreading across Marineford and engulfing it in an instant.
"Bullet!!!"
