Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 504: Just End It Like That

The ones that coming are Marines. They have heard about the attack on Punk Hazard and came here quickly to catch the pirates. Their priority is the Doflamingo Family which has caused a lot of trouble for them.

They couldn't defeat the Donquixote Family without sacrificing lots of men, so they haven't done it. The war last year also damaged the Marines quite badly, so they were still focused on rebuilding the whole Marine organization, and they couldn't take action against a big force like the Donquixote Family yet.

But the attack of some pirate crews and even 3 Kingdoms toward the Donquixote Family on Punk Hazard is a big chance they won't miss. The Donquixote Family would be weakened by the war and they may also catch some more pirates.

But with all the forces gathering in this war, the Marines can't just send some officers. So they send an Admiral, 5 Vice-Admirals, 15 Rear Admirals, and some more high-ranking officers to make sure that they can capture the whole Donquixote Family and some more pirate crews.

The Admiral they send is Fujitora while the Vice Admirals are Garp, Tsuru, Bastille, John Giant, and Gion. They even sent the former Fleet Admiral, Sengoku. Well, he actually volunteered to come himself and some high-ranking officers know why.

It's because of Corazon a.k.a Rosinante who was taken care of by him in the past. Sengoku wants to see him after a long time even though the guy has left the Marine to defeat his older brother. Even if Corazon is fully a criminal now, Sengoku still thinks of him as a son, it's just like the Monkey family.

"Hey, Tsuru-chan, I think I saw that red-nosed monster there. My eyes must've been getting bad because of age."

"No, I think your eyes are fine. I also saw him there carrying Doflamingo's head."

"Damn, what's he doing here? The Clown Pirates should've stayed in their territory now. There's no news about them leaving. Hey, you, contact the HQ and ask about the Clown Pirates' movements!"

Sengoku orders a Marine Captain and the guy moves quickly. He contacts the HQ and gets the information immediately. They all are surprised to know that Clown Pirates don't leave their base at all, so it's just Buggy here.

"The Devil Clown is alone?"

"Don't even think about it, Fujitora! He alone is enough to destroy all of us in a heartbeat. And don't call him Devil Clown. They might use that as his new nickname and it's not good because then he would sound scarier. We don't want our nemesis to sound more overwhelming."

"This nickname has spread all over the world since the war last year, Tsuru-san. There are even more nicknames for him that people came up with. Devil Clown, Clown God, Demon Jester, and Demon King are the most famous. We still stick with the nickname we made, but people start to know him by other names."

"Hmm, personally, I like Demon Jester more."

"I like Demon King more, sounds cool."

"QUIT IT, SENGOKU, GARP! DON'T PLAY ALONG WITH THAT!"

"Alright, alright. Well, no matter his nickname, it doesn't change the fact that he is someone we can't defeat right now."

"Yeah, luckily he is a reasonable person. We should be able to talk it out with him about The Donquixote Family."

"Don't hope too much, Gion! We never know what a pirate like him will do. Pirates always do what they want, never follow any rules."

The Marines are approaching the island cautiously now. They might need to fight Buggy later, so they can't relax. After all, they all could die if Buggy decides to fight them.

On the island, the Bird Cage has disappeared. It was gone the moment Buggy cut Doflamingo's body into a few parts. Doffy couldn't maintain it because he needed to tie his body parts so they wouldn't fall into the sea.

But it doesn't matter anymore now because he has fallen into Buggy's hands. He doesn't know what Buggy will do to him but it surely won't be good. He can't even retaliate anymore now because even his body is under Buggy's control now after being chopped.

"Throwing you into the sea or the Marines' hands are much easier and I won't need to do all the bothersome stuff to get rid of you now. But that won't be satisfying and I know some people who will gladly help me get rid of you."

"What are-?"

Before Doffy can finish his question, Buggy throws his head to a crowd. Luffy, Law, and Corazon are fighting a lot of Doflamingo's men. Their opponents are successful SMILE users, so these guys have animal body parts and boosted power.

*BAM*

Suddenly, something is dropped in the middle of the crowd and creates a big impact that takes everyone's attention. They all look at it and are surprised to see Doflamingo's head gets planted into the ground. It's even more surprising when they realize that the head is alive.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

"Y-YOUNG MASTER!"

"DOFLAMINGO!"

They all look up to see who threw Doflamingo's head. All of them are surprised to see a face that often appears in news headlines.

"C-CLOWN LORD BUGGY!"

"W-why are you here?"

Buggy comes down and steps on Doflamingo's head as he looks at everyone. Law & Corazon are confused to see Buggy here because he said he would let them take care of Doflamingo. Luffy on the other hand is shocked to see Doflamingo get defeated in a very short time.

"I never planned to meddle with your little war here, but the Donquixote Family seemed to not appreciate my mercy and broke your promise to not touch my people. You guys dared to make my mate who should be living peacefully after his retirement. I would never let this slide."

Law & Corazon don't know what happened, but they know that no one can stop Buggy when he is this pissed.

"Donquixote Family, I'll give you 2 choices. Keep fighting or surrender yourselves to the Marines that are coming here. I will entertain you all if you decide to fight, but you should be ready for the consequences because I won't show mercy like the Marines who will send you to Impel Down at most."

Buggy says that while intimidating them with his Conqueror Haki. He makes them lose spirit in an instant and they all drop on the ground.

"Wise choice."

Then he suddenly kicks Doflamingo's head to Corazon who catches it in surprise.

"Do what you want with him. I need to take care of my mate."

Buggy leaves immediately without waiting for any answer. Everyone looks at Doflamingo's angry head and the body that has been rearranged into something strange by Buggy. He did it to make sure Doflamingo couldn't do anything even after he left.

Only Buggy and Law can return Doflamingo's body to normal with their power. But there's no way any of them would save Doflamingo, so he'll never return to his original appearance. Well, at least his head is still normal even though his body is like a clump of human body parts in a horror movie.

Buggy returns to Flintstone's location and sees the guy is gathering with the former toys. He is hugged by a brown-haired woman with dented eye sockets. Buggy knows that she doesn't have any eyeballs, making him frown.

"You good mate?"

"Yeah, it's the best I've ever felt in years. Ah, and Captain, this is my wife, Threcie. We married some months before we were captured. But she lost her eyes because of an accident while she was still a toy. It's okay though. At least now we have become humans again."

"Thank you very much for saving us, Sir Buggy. We couldn't thank you enough."

The other toys follow Threcie and thank him too.

"Save it for later, the war hasn't ended yet. The Marines are coming here and they will fight the remaining enemies. That's why I won't stay for too long or they'll attack me. You guys can wait and go with them later. They'll send you back home. But you & your wife will go with me, Flintstone. They won't let a former pirate go."

"Uhm, Captain, there are many criminals too among the former toys actually. The Marines will save the commoners, but there's no way they'll save the criminals."

"I know, but I can't take everyone. I didn't come here using a ship, you know. I only have a boat."

"D-did you sneaked out?"

"Yea, Mantis won't let me go alone."

"Don't worry, Buggy, you can take one of our ships."

King Riku suddenly comes with King Elizabello, leaving their men to handle the enemies.

"Old man Riku, I'm not here to save people. I was just fighting because that prick dared to touch one of my mates. I just did this for Flintstone. The others don't have any value to me. I'm a pirate, not a hero. Everything I do is based on my personal interest."

"Obviously, I understand that. But you can make them work for you. Your organizations & businesses surely still need more workers, right?"

"I only take people who are willing to work hard and ready to die anytime. Do you think these guys who look fine but don't fight even after turning into their original selves can work under such intense pressures in my place? Forget about the ones who lost some organs like Flint & his wife or the children & elderly. Most of them are fine, but they just sit here being protected, not fighting those who made them suffer. I don't care if it's men or women, they need to fight for their revenge. I hate to help people who don't want to help themselves."
