Chapter 156: Beating the Grass to Startle the Snake!
Having dealt with Issho, who hadn't even started to be difficult yet, Buggy breathed a sigh of relief.
He had some understanding of Issho. This gambling-addicted blind man cared for the common people from the bottom of his heart. Making him participate in this kind of large-scale battle that could trigger a war was definitely not what he wanted.
The reason he was able to successfully invite him to join the Red Nose Pirates before was only because Buggy had targeted his determination to end the unreasonable system of the Warlords of the Sea.
But Buggy was certain that if his actions were not still related to the abolition of the Warlords, Issho would have definitely quit the Red Nose Pirates right after the meeting had ended.
Although Buggy had been continuously consolidating the cohesiveness of the Red Nose Pirates through a series of actions, to the point where even masters like Mihawk and Shiliew were obedient to his every word, he had no way of dealing with Issho. This person was too special.
Issho's mental fortitude was simply not something others could influence. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do something like blinding himself.
Walking out of the cabin and onto the deck, Buggy let out a long breath.
"Have you talked with Brother Issho?" Hancock walked to Buggy's side and asked him.
"Yes. It was fine this time, but in the future, I won't be able to let him participate in battles like this," with a somewhat helpless sigh, Buggy replied.
"So he won't be quitting, right?" Hancock continued to ask.
"After my plan is completed this time, he will leave for a period of time. He said he's going to clear his head. I asked Hawkins to accompany him, and he agreed," nodding, Buggy replied.
"That's good," Hancock also understood that although the Red Nose Pirates were not lacking in high-end combat power, the departure of a master like Issho would still be a pity.
"Has Sandersonia flown up to high altitude to observe?" Buggy asked Hancock.
"She has already flown up. As soon as she sees land, she will notify Bonez to slow down. When we were leaving, I asked the people of Dressrosa. The distance to Totto Land is not too far. If all goes well, we might be able to reach the outskirts of Totto Land tonight," Hancock said faintly.
"It would be best if we can arrive before dark. That way, we can launch a surprise attack at dawn," looking at the distant sky, Buggy said faintly.
Half a day later, when the last ray of sunlight had completely disappeared below the horizon, night fell.
According to the news from Sandersonia at high altitude, no islands had yet been discovered.
Although he really wanted to end the battle tomorrow morning, the distance between Dressrosa and Totto Land was a bit far. Buggy could do nothing about it and could only rest for a night and continue on the next day.
One must know that before a great battle, one must have sufficient rest to maintain their peak condition.
A quiet night passed. The next day, after a hearty breakfast, the Thor set sail again.
Half a day later, Sandersonia finally sent news: they had arrived in the waters of Totto Land.
Having arrived here, they could no longer continue to speed across the sea surface. As Daz Bonez reduced the output power of his ability, Sandersonia also descended to the deck. Together with Marigold, they gently pressed their hands on the deck. The Thor, which was slowing down, began to gradually rise and then slowly disappeared into mid-air.
Flying in the air, in order to prevent the noise from attracting the attention of others, although the Thor's flying speed was not fast, Buggy did not have Daz Bonez use the thrusters to accelerate. Instead, he had the Thor fly into the waters of Totto Land at a speed exceeding that of a normal sea vessel.
Before dark, the people standing on the Thor finally saw the island with its unique cake shape.
"Captain, are we going to start the attack now?" Shiliew, who had drawn his sword at some unknown time, said in a deep voice.
"Don't be anxious. You're not the one who should be starting the attack. Bonez, gather the thunderclouds first. When you're ready, you and Brother Issho will go first."
Hearing Buggy's words, Bonez immediately began to brew his power, while Issho asked, "Are we going to beat the grass to startle the snake?"
"Yes. I have no interest in looking for one person on the island. Besides, the islands in the waters of Totto Land are very strange. The things within the islands, even the clouds, have life. In order to reduce unexpected factors, it's more reassuring for the two of you to clean up the entire island first," nodding, Buggy didn't know much about Totto Land and didn't want to capsize in a ditch for some unknown reason.
"Is that so? Understood," nodding, since Issho had agreed to do it, he would definitely not hold back. At this moment, he was just waiting for Daz Bonez's attack to be over before he prepared to summon a meteor shower.
And on Whole Cake Island, seeing the sky that was originally about to get dark suddenly darken several times faster, some curious people couldn't help but look up at the sky.
When did such a thick layer of dark clouds gather? Is it going to rain?
Just as everyone thought it was going to rain and were preparing to go home to collect their clothes, a huge voice rang out.
"You fools, hide quickly! The clouds in the sky are not naturally formed; they are the ability of an ability user! Damn it, I know! It's Thunder God Daz Bonez! Enemy attack! The Red Nose Pirates have arrived!" A man suddenly appeared in the center of the city. After looking at the sky, he immediately realized something and then roared loudly.
Seeing that his tracks had been exposed, Marigold immediately retracted her transparency ability, and the giant Thor appeared on the outskirts of Whole Cake Island.
Then, one after another, giant bolts of lightning, amidst the rumbling thunder, fell towards Whole Cake Island.
"Red-Nosed Buggy!" A sharp roar pierced through the sound of thunder and echoed in the sky above Whole Cake Island.
Without a doubt, the Yonko Big Mom was currently filled with rage.
However, Daz Bonez didn't care if Big Mom was angry or not. He still carried out his mission and, in one breath, used his original ultimate move, "Divine Punishment."
A minute later, as the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, the baptism of heavenly lightning finally stopped. But just as the people on the island thought the Red Nose Pirates' first wave of attacks was over, one after another, meteors streaked across the clouds at the top of the sky and fell towards Whole Cake Island.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just half a minute, the smoking Whole Cake Island was baptized by a meteor shower. Everywhere were craters smashed out by the meteorites.
The originally uniquely beautiful Whole Cake Island now looked like hell.
"Red-Nosed Buggy, I want you dead!" Standing in the central square of the island's central city, Big Mom, with a group of subordinates, was roaring at the distant Thor with eyes full of anger.
"Charlotte Linlin, I'll give you a chance!" Standing on the rail of the Thor, Buggy looked at Big Mom and replied loudly.
