One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 142: Strength!

During the cleanup operation, both Buggy and Whitebeard had a tacit understanding and did not participate. However, judging from Shiliew's refreshed look the next morning, he probably had a rare, satisfying time last night.

Taking a moment to ask Daz Bonez, my goodness, there were more than a dozen pirate ships approaching this island. And this was only the area their side was responsible for. On Whitebeard's side, the Moby Dick hadn't been idle all night either, but the specific number was unknown.

Very good!

This was the result Buggy wanted. Regardless of who won or lost in the final battle, as long as the news spread, Buggy's goal would be achieved.

The main purpose of challenging the Whitebeard Pirates this time was to make a name for himself. Of course, this wasn't the entire purpose. Buggy had two other secondary goals. One was to have a good fight with Whitebeard to see how far he was from the strongest.

As for the other purpose, Buggy didn't even know if it could be realized. It would be best if it could, but if not, then he would just have to change that plan.

After a hearty breakfast and a half-hour walk on the beach with Hancock, Buggy finally began to do his warm-up exercises unhurriedly.

In the early morning, after the proud sun had fully risen from the sea level, Buggy leisurely walked to the center of the venue.

Looking at the figure approaching from a distance, Buggy's fighting spirit soared higher and higher.

"Whitebeard, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." It was only at this very moment that Buggy finally said the words that had been buried in his heart and never spoken.

"Counting from when Roger was still around, it has indeed been a long time. Do you want to take my head that badly?" Whitebeard asked, squinting down at Buggy.

"It has nothing to do with taking your head. As long as one walks this path, no matter who it is, the thought of challenging the strongest will arise. After Captain Roger passed away, you became the strongest. The boastful words from those early years were just youthful ignorance, but now it's different," after speaking, Buggy took a large step forward.

"Gurarararara, then let me see just how different it is," after speaking, the air around Whitebeard's hands began to tremble involuntarily.

"Then let me have a taste," with a loud shout, Buggy stomped his foot on the spot. All the Haki in his body, along with his ability, was attached to his fist and directly shot out.

Bājíquán Remodel: Conqueror's Inch-Step Crush!

The immense power, combined with the ability to shatter everything, caused the space around Buggy's fist to show signs of collapse even as it was still extending.

"Well-struck!"

Just by looking at the constantly appearing cracks in space, Whitebeard understood just how powerful Buggy's punch was.

Clenching his right fist and pulling it back to his left chest, he took half a step forward with his right foot, his body slightly bent. In the next second, Whitebeard smashed his right fist fiercely towards Buggy's.

An instant later, there was no earth-shattering explosion. The two fists didn't even collide. A crisp crack sound just entered everyone's ears.

Then, in front of Buggy and Whitebeard, where their fists were directed, the space instantly shattered. Pieces of it, in a very familiar visual, fell directly downwards, leaving behind a fist-sized black hole.

And seeing this black hole, both Buggy's and Whitebeard's faces changed drastically. At the first moment, they both retreated wildly backwards.

In the next second, the black hole began to distort, and an incomparably powerful suction force appeared, directly sucking in all surrounding objects.

Half a minute later, the hole disappeared, and along with it, a large circular piece of the ground.

Standing on opposite sides of the circle, both Whitebeard and Buggy frowned.

Outside the venue, the Moby Dick and the "Thor," which were already a hundred meters away, simultaneously retreated another few hundred meters.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now this is what you call a peak battle. With just one punch, they made a piece of ground nearly a hundred meters in diameter disappear without a trace. I really want to join in and have a good fight with them," on the "Thor," Shiliew, standing on the observation deck and holding a telescope, exclaimed with excitement as he watched the power of Buggy's and Whitebeard's single punch.

"Don't even think about it. Do you think everyone has the ability to shatter space? If it weren't for the fact that both the captain's and Whitebeard's abilities are extremely special, how could they possibly reach the level of shattering space? The other three of the Four Emperors are not weak, but none of them have mastered this skill," also standing on the observation deck, although Mihawk was refuting Shiliew's words, the fighting spirit on his face could not be concealed.

"If a battle like this continues, it's too dangerous. A single misstep and even you could be swallowed up. Destroying this island would probably be an easy task, right? Will Brother Buggy be alright?" Betty asked Hancock with some concern.

"I'm not sure if he'll be alright, but a battle like this probably won't continue. After all, the first punch was a contest of their peak states. And after this scene, I think they will both slightly control the power of their attacks. Although it's still possible to destroy this island, the scene of silent devouring from just now probably won't appear again," although Hancock was also very worried, she was full of confidence in Buggy.

Since the peak punch did not decide a winner, the following battle was very much worth looking forward to.

In the center of the venue, after seeing the super-miniature black hole he and Whitebeard had created together disappear, Buggy's body flashed and vanished from his spot.

Two seconds later, Whitebeard suddenly turned around. His fist, bigger than a sandbag, condensed with Haki and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, smashed fiercely towards a certain spot.

Instantly, Buggy's body appeared there. Looking at Whitebeard's descending fist, Buggy didn't panic in the slightest. Instead, he stomped his foot fiercely and threw a punch at Whitebeard as well.

Eh!

Seeing Buggy's strange action, Whitebeard immediately became vigilant. In the next second, his bad premonition immediately became a reality. Whitebeard suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet give way, and his body instantly tilted.

Changing his fist to a palm, Whitebeard's left hand suddenly shot out and slapped the air. Then, the moment the immense force temporarily stabilized his body, Whitebeard's right hand still did not change direction and smashed down fiercely at Buggy.

Looking at Whitebeard, whose body had lowered by a meter or two, Buggy immediately met his fist.

Another crisp crack sound, but this time there were no spatial fragments falling. Instead, between the two fists, cracks extended for several meters.

With a loud "BOOM," a huge force erupted between Buggy's and Whitebeard's fists. The resulting shockwave directly blasted both of them a great distance away.

"Hiss! So this is Red-Nosed Buggy's true strength?"
