Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Sharing the Burden!
Chapter 141: Sharing the Burden!
Mihawk was very proud of this point. After all, no other pirate crew could bring down a star from the heavens and then refine the metal from within it.
The most crucial part of this was that only Buggy could recognize this kind of metal. For anyone else, the material could be right in front of them, and they would still be completely in the dark.
"Right now, are you confident you can win against Red-Hair?" Without assuming an offensive stance, Vista asked Mihawk another question.
After hearing Vista's question, Mihawk fell silent. After a long while, he said, "We'll only know after another fight."
This was a conclusion Mihawk had reached after some thought. After all, only Mihawk himself knew the details of their battle back then.
"Then I look forward to the early arrival of this battle. I think it will become a feast for the century that all swordsmen will look forward to," after speaking, "Flower Sword" Vista sheathed his twin swords and, with great style, turned and headed back towards the Moby Dick.
"You're not fighting anymore?" Mihawk asked, a little unaccustomed to it.
"I've fought Red-Hair before. I was no match for him at all. I originally thought the distance between you and me wouldn't be too great, but after actually crossing swords, I found that's not the case at all. Your power alone can directly suppress me. As for other things, a man who can fight Red-Hair for several days and nights, could his swordsmanship be poor? I'd better conserve some strength in case any other unexpected things happen," turning his head back, "Flower Sword" Vista explained to Mihawk.
Nodding, Mihawk didn't say much more. After all, with two great pirate crews fighting on an island in the New World, the news was absolutely impossible to keep under wraps.
Any kind of accident was possible. Although there were no deaths on either side, there were injured people, and they were the main pillars of the crews. Under such circumstances, it was better to be a little more cautious.
It was precisely based on this consideration that "Flower Sword" Vista, even though he wanted to have a big fight with Mihawk, held back, because he knew that the real great battle was about to begin.
By the time the two had walked back to their respective warships, the main event of this great battle between the two pirate crews had finally arrived.
Almost at the same time, Buggy and Whitebeard, who were originally sitting on their warships, stood up simultaneously and then looked at each other from afar.
"Whitebeard, you'd better not use that sword in your hand, lest I break it," seeing Whitebeard lift his naginata, Buggy said loudly to him.
"Brat, you don't use a weapon, so you won't let others use one either?" Whitebeard glanced at Buggy and said faintly.
"Betty, bring that dinner knife over," turning his head, Buggy instructed Betty.
"Got it, Brother Buggy," after speaking, Betty brought a dinner knife from the kitchen and handed it to Buggy.
"Watch carefully," after speaking, Buggy wrapped the dinner knife in Armament Haki, and then his other hand gently tapped it with his ability.
In the next second, with a crisp crack, the Haki-wrapped dinner knife shattered into several pieces.
"I don't want to take this advantage of you. For me, it's not that I won't let you use it, but that no one can use a non-living weapon in front of me. If you want to fight me with a living creature, that would be fine," throwing away the dinner knife in his hand, Buggy spread his hands at Whitebeard and said.
"Gurarararara, brat, you really have completely changed. The old you would never have let go of such an opportunity. What caused such a great change in you?" Whitebeard asked Buggy with great curiosity.
"My own strength, I suppose. I was weak before, so I had to find all sorts of ways to win and survive. But the current me naturally doesn't need to. In the end, strength is the root cause of changing a person. It's no different from how men turn bad when they get rich," Buggy replied after thinking for a moment.
"Gurarararara, an interesting answer. You brat have not only changed your personality, but you've also become interesting."
After speaking, Whitebeard was about to move and enter the venue, but he was stopped by Buggy.
"Whitebeard, there's no need to be so hasty with our battle. The sky is already getting dark. Let's do it tomorrow morning. It's a good opportunity to clear the surrounding area tonight, to prevent some ignorant fellows from coming to disturb our battle. We have few people and are not familiar with the surrounding sea area. Could I trouble your crew with this? No problem, right?" Buggy didn't want Daz Bonez to have to pilot the "Thor" around the sea all night, so he wanted to push the trouble onto someone else.
"Brat, although this island is within my territory, everyone has a part in this matter. If we're going to act, everyone has to act," Whitebeard didn't care about face. Several of his key members were seriously injured or unconscious. How could he waste his strength for nothing?
"Alright. Since you've said so, I'll have my people participate in the cleanup as well," Buggy was also a little surprised that Whitebeard would give such a shameless answer.
But after thinking about it, Buggy realized that on his side, apart from the Baboon who was injured and Bonez who had consumed a lot of energy, his crew was basically at full combat strength. The only one injured, Hawkins, had also healed his wounds with his own ability.
And looking at the Whitebeard Pirates, the first to fight, 6th division commander Blamenco, had won easily, not only uninjured but also with little energy consumed. The second to appear, 8th division commander, the shark fish-man Namur, was in a miserable state. After his fierce battle with the Baboon, he was still lying on the ship, unable to move at all.
The third to appear, 12th division commander Haruta, was also uninjured and won easily. The fourth to appear, 14th division commander Speed Jiru, also won easily due to Law's restraint. The fifth to appear, 10th division commander Curiel, had kited Betty for half an hour. Apart from consuming a lot of ammunition, he had no other damage and could be considered to have won easily.
However, from the sixth match onwards, the situation was completely different. First, the 1st division commander Marco, who appeared sixth, was severely hit by Hancock. Although his body was not harmed, the trauma to his heart was definitely not light. But compared to the seventh to appear, 7th division commander Rakuyo, he still hadn't lost all his face.
From the eighth to appear onwards, it was not so easy. The 15th division commander Fossa was defeated by Daz Bonez. Although he was not seriously injured, he was also quite battered. The 4th division commander Thatch was hit head-on by Fujitora and spat out a mouthful of blood; he had at most recovered forty or fifty percent of his combat power now. The 3rd division commander Jozu had been directly given internal injuries by Shiliew and was still unconscious. According to the Whitebeard Pirates' ship's doctor, these injuries would take several months to heal.
Only the 5th division commander, "Flower Sword" Vista, had proactively retreated and preserved his strength. All in all, two were seriously injured, two were lightly injured, and two had their confidence shattered. The most troublesome thing was that the ones who had problems were all the higher-ranking division commanders.
For the Whitebeard Pirates, this was also a considerable blow. Under such circumstances, Whitebeard naturally had to let Buggy share some of the pressure.
