One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 137: The Heaven-Defying Nature of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit!

"Pops, is Boa Hancock really that strong?" Marco asked Whitebeard, somewhat in disbelief.

"Anyone who can dominate a region is a possessor of Conqueror's Haki. Although it was just for a moment, I couldn't have been mistaken. Boa Hancock is one of them. Haki plus a special ability, so even if I heard one day that the Red Nose Pirates' Toy Empress defeated Big Mom, I wouldn't find it strange," Whitebeard said slowly, his eyes on the field.

"Pops, are you saying her strength comes not only from Haki but also from her ability?" The fourth division commander, Thatch, heard a different meaning.

"That was forty or fifty years ago. It was still the original pirate era. At that time, I was just an ordinary pirate, following a captain with decent strength. On one voyage, we witnessed a battle between two great pirate crews on the Grand Line. The captains of both pirate crews were ability users, and one of them clearly had stronger Haki than the other. A battle like that, in our view, should have been one-sided, but in reality, it was a different story, and the reason lay in the ability of the captain with the weaker Haki," Whitebeard said with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

"Pops, the ability of that captain with weaker strength couldn't be the same one Boa Hancock possesses, right?" At this point, even Jozu heard something unusual.

"It is this ability, known as the Hobby-Hobby Fruit. The greatest feature of this ability is that as long as you touch someone, you can ignore the strength of their Haki and directly turn the person you touch into a toy. And after being turned into a toy, even if the person themselves is also a Devil Fruit user, their ability will be sealed and cannot be used at all," Whitebeard replied with an unreadable expression.

"If that's really the case, then Boa Hancock indeed has the qualifications to challenge Big Mom. As fellow possessors of Conqueror's Haki, the final competition is the use of their abilities. And with Big Mom's size, trying to dodge in front of Boa Hancock seems a bit unrealistic. The life-stealing ability is only terrifying when it can be used. If the ability can't be used, then there's nothing to be afraid of at all," Marco said, his expression finally relaxing slightly.

"Just knowing this is enough." Whitebeard's meaning was clear, and he said no more, just staring at the field with a thoughtful look.

And on the field, the competition between Daz Bonez and Fossa had also reached a white-hot stage.

Every clash of swords between Daz Bonez and Fossa produced a violent collision. Coupled with the special effects of fire and lightning, the visual effect was particularly eye-catching.

And the two combatants on the field, after another fierce clash, now stood opposite each other.

"Huhu... Daz Bonez, you really haven't disappointed me," Fossa said, slightly out of breath.

"You're not bad either." Compared to Fossa's panting, Daz Bonez was much better off. It seemed the effect of long-term fighting with several monsters was showing.

"Why aren't you using your ability?" Looking at the calm Daz Bonez, Fossa was quite annoyed.

"I've been using my ability all along. Haven't you felt a faint numbing sensation? Or do you think lightning has to be thick to be effective?"

Faced with Daz Bonez's rhetorical question, Fossa opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Indeed, since the battle began, this faint numbing sensation had caused him a lot of trouble. Not only did it make his body slightly sluggish, but it also caused some imbalance in his control of his strength.

"The captain said that the use of an ability shouldn't always be about brute force. It should be used in a way that is suitable for battle. I didn't understand this before, so in the first battle in the North Blue, a problem occurred on my end, otherwise, there would have been no chance for Sarkozy IV to escape back then." Daz Bonez was still somewhat resentful about that incident.

"I take back my words. Come on, this kind of battle between men is what I like most. Today, I must determine a winner between us," Fossa said with high fighting spirit.

"As you wish!" After speaking, Daz Bonez flashed on the spot, his lightning-infused battle sword once again chopping towards Fossa's head.

"Good one! You take a slash from me too!" Pulling back his body to turn his head aside, the fully focused Fossa, after dodging Daz Bonez's strike, counterattacked with a horizontal cut.

"Useless!" Lightly accelerating to dodge Fossa's battle sword, Daz Bonez closed in and engaged Fossa in battle once again.

The great battle lasted for nearly two hours. In the end, it was Fossa who was somewhat lacking in strength. Daz Bonez seized an opportunity, and after overpowering Fossa's battle sword, he ended the fight with a slash on Fossa's left shoulder.

Panting, he returned to the Thunder God. Buggy said nothing to Bonez, just walked to his side and patted his shoulder with an affirmative look.

"Brother Bonez, well done!" As for the others, especially Hawkins who had been cut, they immediately came to Bonez's side to praise him.

"Not bad. It's my turn to stretch my muscles now." Also coming to Bonez's side and patting his shoulder, Fujitora finished speaking and then slowly walked down the gangplank towards the field.

On the Moby Dick, looking at Fujitora, who needed to tap the ground to take two steps forward, no one spoke for a while.

It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but they didn't know what to say. The blind man's ability was there for all to see; after all, it was the blind man opposite who had put in the effort when setting up the field. But it was precisely because of this that the division commanders who had yet to fight were quite wary.

"Pops, I'll give it a try." After a long silence, the short-lived Thatch from the original story stood up.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Whitebeard said, somewhat helplessly after thinking for a moment. At the same time, he was thinking to himself, maybe he should also change. Perhaps he should go find some powerful Devil Fruits to increase his strength.

A few minutes later, Thatch and Fujitora walked to the center of the field.

"Which member of the Whitebeard Pirates is fighting? Could you please let me know?" Fujitora couldn't see, so naturally, he didn't know which member the Whitebeard Pirates had sent out.

"My name is Thatch, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' fourth division. Blind man, what's your name? You must have joined the Red Nose Pirates later, right?" Thatch, dressed in a clean white chef's uniform, asked Fujitora, holding two swords.

"Oh, so it's the fourth division captain, my apologies. I am Fujitora Issho, please take good care of me," Fujitora replied with a chuckle.
