One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 136: Deep Meaning!

"We'll know if you're scared after we fight," after speaking, Paula abruptly accelerated, her body instantly rushing to a spot about ten meters from Rakuyo.

"I won't give you a chance to get any closer," as he spoke, Rakuyo threw his dog-faced flail at Paula.

Watching the approaching big mouth of the dog face, Paula's body came to a sudden halt. She then squatted down and pressed both hands on the ground.

"You think you can dodge just by squatting?" Seeing Paula's action, Rakuyo said with disdain.

"Who said I was squatting to dodge?" As Paula spoke, her ability erupted.

Instantly, with Paula at the center, in a semicircular area with a fifty-meter radius in front of her, countless thorns shot out from the ground. They immediately enveloped the dog-faced flail, which was less than a meter from Paula, and Rakuyo, who was ten meters away.

Despite having a mouth of iron teeth, the dog-headed flail was stuck in place by countless thorns after biting off the first one. As for Rakuyo, although he had reacted at the first moment and wanted to retreat while retracting his flail, Paula gave him no such opportunity. The thorns not only jammed the flail but also firmly stuck the chain that controlled it.

If Rakuyo hadn't been exceptionally decisive and abandoned his flail to retreat out of the range of Paula's ability at super-fast speed, what would be trapped in the forest of thorns right now would likely be more than just the flail.

Outside the thorn forest, Rakuyo, who had been forced to abandon his weapon at the very start of the battle, looked at the elegantly approaching Paula, his face as ugly as it could be.

Rakuyo knew about Paula's Thorns-Thorns Fruit ability, but he didn't know that the current Paula could release such a large-scale attack. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss right at the beginning.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if another division commander had lost their weapon, but Rakuyo's offense was mainly based on combining it with his special weapon. Now that his weapon was stuck in the thorn forest, his own attack power was instantly reduced by several notches.

He didn't even think about retrieving his weapon. In fact, after Paula had displayed her ability, Rakuyo knew that the possibility of getting his weapon back was basically zero.

Wrapping his hands in Haki, Rakuyo did not intend to give up easily. His feet began to move slowly, preparing to advance and attack.

Unfortunately, before he could even enter Paula's attack range, Whitebeard's voice rang out.

"Rakuyo, come back!"

Turning around and looking up at his old man, Rakuyo's mood at this moment was not much different from Marco's when he was dealt with by Hancock earlier.

But Rakuyo did not go against his old man's wishes. He turned around and said to Paula, "I surrender. Can I have my weapon back now?"

"Tch, be my guest," after speaking, Paula turned and, with an air of bewitching charm, headed back to the "Thor."

As soon as she returned to the ship, Paula said to Buggy with great dissatisfaction, "Captain, Whitebeard is too protective of his subordinates. The fight could have clearly continued, but he just directly surrendered. How boring."

"You fool. The battle between the members of the two pirate crews this time is just for both sides to probe each other's strength. Apart from the Baboon and that fish-man who fought with real fire, and that idiot Hawkins who didn't know when to surrender and got himself cut, the smart ones all know when to stop," Hancock rapped Paula on the head and said, somewhat speechless.

"Yes. The only battle that really needs to be fought this time is between the two captains. Whether the Red Nose Pirates can be recognized or not depends on the result of the battle between the captain and Whitebeard. As for the others, winning or losing is not important. It's enough to get an understanding of the opponent's combat power," Mihawk also explained from the side.

Only those who truly understood the deep meaning of this battle would fight with great restraint. As for fools like the Baboon, Hawkins, and Betty, they could just consider their losses a lesson in wisdom.

"Bonez, you're up. Just play around with some ordinary moves," after Hancock and Mihawk explained to Paula, Buggy said to Daz Bonez.

"Got it, Captain!" Nodding, Bonez flashed, and in the next moment, he had already appeared in the center of the venue.

"I'll take you on," on the Moby Dick, the muscular Fossa stood up and immediately jumped down to the venue, drawing his sword and igniting it.

"A flame sword? Perfect. I can also try out my lightning sword and see how effective it is." Also drawing his sword, Bonez flashed from his spot. In the next moment, he was already in front of Fossa. His sword, flashing with electric light, chopped down at Fossa's head.

"Courting death!" Directly raising his blade, fire and lightning collided in the next moment.

After a loud "BOOM," two figures shot out from the circle of rising dust. Without stopping, the moment they retreated, the two figures collided again.

Accompanied by continuous explosions, fiery red and golden light constantly flashed and collided.

"Now this is a proper fight," on the "Thor," Paula said with great satisfaction, watching the two who were constantly fighting.

"That guy Bonez..." Buggy was a little speechless, but he just said it casually.

"Captain, it's a rare opportunity. How could one not fight to their heart's content? Let alone him, if I could have a satisfying fight, I would definitely go all out. I just don't know if the other side has such a master," Shiliew said with great anticipation.

"A good fight is also good. Just right to let the Whitebeard Pirates see," Mihawk said unhurriedly, staring at a certain person on the Moby Dick.

On the other side, on the Moby Dick, Whitebeard and his division commanders were also watching this somewhat evenly matched battle.

"Marco, what do you think Fossa's chances of victory are?" Jozu asked Marco.

"Daz Bonez is the other Logia user in the Red Nose Pirates. He's not comparable to that little girl from before. He was already shaking a sea region long before he infiltrated the Marines. His strength can't be weak. I don't know what Fossa's chances of victory are, but I know that Fossa's opponent has not yet used his true strength," Marco was quite worried about the Red Nose Pirates, whose members were appearing with increasing strength.

"That Red Nose guy was roaming the world back then and could have formed a pirate crew long ago, but he waited until a few years ago. You can't look at the crew members he's gathered with ordinary eyes. But don't worry too much. The current battles are just probes. Everyone is holding back their trump cards. We won't know what will happen when they really fight," seeing Marco's gloomy face from being beaten by Hancock, Thatch, the 4th division commander who hadn't spoken, said to Marco.

"Marco, that woman is not that simple. Even against Charlotte Linlin, it's not certain who would win or lose."
