Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 466: Imu & God's Knights

Kong's expression is very ugly when he realizes that no reinforcements will come. The Marines have been held by their enemies while the Cipher Pol agents have been eradicated. There are still remaining agents and marines on other bases, but they are too weak to be of any help.

Buggy grins as he signals his crewmates to move forward. They dash toward the enemies, but then they suddenly run to the side while attacking the enemies with long-range weapons. Imu still looks enraged as he orders his men to chase the pirates.

"But Milord, what about you?" Garling asks while the others run to chase the pirates.

"I will handle him myself. You are not his match."

Garling wants to object and stay as he is the leader of God's Knights that should protect Imu. However, he doesn't dare to go against Imu's order because he knows how powerful Imu is. Garling finally leaves to chase the pirates with the others, leaving Imu there alone with Buggy.

"I will give you a chance to surrender, remnant of an ancient civilization. Even with the immortality given by Ope Ope Fruit, you still won't win against me."

"What an arrogant remark. I'm sure you are feeling that you are the best in the world now. But I've seen many who acted like you succumbed before us. Your outcome won't be any different. It might even be worse because you have angered me greatly. I will show you the power that has been gathered for 800 years!"

Suddenly, Imu's body expands as his skin becomes redder rapidly. His teeth turn into sharp jagged fangs, making his new face looks scary enough to make babies on the other side of the world cry. Sharp bony appendages also grow from his elbows and knees.

Buggy looks shocked while seeing a big long tail with an arrowhead-like tip grows from Imu's transformation. He never thought that Imu's devil fruit ability would look like this. It looks scary, but also cool at the same time, though he doesn't really know what this thing is.

"What creature is this?"

Imu's devil fruit transformation is that of a big humanoid creature with reddish skin. If Buggy must compare it to something, then it's very similar to a devil. But it doesn't look like the images of devils he ever saw.

"Well, it doesn't matter what you've become, I will still kill you. Whatever your devil fruit is, it will not be able to save you from me."

Buggy spins his swords for a moment before suddenly slashing them at Imu. He is confident he can cut Imu's body with his current power, especially when the other party is getting bigger. But what happens next makes his eyes widen in shock.

Imu suddenly disappears from his initial spot and appears behind Buggy. What shocks Buggy is he can't follow Imu's movement with his eyes at all. His eyes can even follow Kizaru's lightspeed movements, but he actually can't follow Imu's movement speed.

Luckily, he has future sight ability because of his advanced observation haki. He can see Imu's attack from behind, so he dashes forward to avoid a tail attack. Imu looks at Buggy indifferently as if he already knew everything that Buggy would do.

'Damn, I was a little careless. He isn't just someone who has lived for 800 years, he is a monster that has lived for 800 years. Whatever that devil fruit is, he has used it for 8 centuries, so his mastery must be very high. It was a correct decision to kill the 5 Elders immediately. If those old bastards were very powerful too just like Garp and Sengoku, then this would be very difficult.'

Another tail attack suddenly flies toward Buggy while he is pondering. It's very fast that he doesn't have time to evade. So he raises his swords and coats his body with haki before the massive tail hits him. He is sent flying some meters back, but he doesn't get hurt at all.

'That was strong. Maybe only me and Cricket could receive that attack unscathed. The others would get injured by that.'

Buggy slashes again and Imu dodges it again even though Buggy's attack is invisible. But now Imu just steps aside, avoiding the slash that cuts the ground cleanly. Buggy clicks his tongue while cursing in his heart.

It's actually not difficult to dodge Buggy's invisible slash attacks. They just need to look at his swords and predict the direction of the slash. But obviously, not many have the ability to dodge because his attacks are fast.

Buggy wants to attack again, but he suddenly cancels it and jumps to the side. Imu suddenly appears where he stood before and punches from above. This punch is very strong, making the hard Red Line ground to crack and dent deeply.

Imu doesn't stop and keeps chasing Buggy while sending punches after punches. Buggy is fully concentrated to dodge and block Imu's attacks. Even with his powerful advanced observation haki, Buggy can only barely dodge and block Imu's attacks because they are very fast.

'It seems he can also see a glimpse of the future and predict my movements. Though it seems my observation haki is still a little stronger than his, or else I would get hit many times already by now. Tsk, he leads the pace now. I can't let him keep the pace, I need to break it.'

Buggy suddenly slows down to let Imu's attacks hit him. But instead of a punch, Imu suddenly sends a black fireball. Imu can manipulate fire, but his fire is black instead of red like a normal fire. Buggy can sense that this black fireball is much more powerful than any fire he ever saw.

The black fireball hits Buggy's body, but it suddenly gets chopped into numerous pieces. Imu's expression shows that he has seen this already, that's why he sent the black fireball instead of his punch. If his fist hits Buggy's body, then surely it will be chopped into pieces like this fireball.

Buggy clicks his tongue again seeing his opponent see through his attacks so many times. He gets even gloomier when he sees the Red Line ground actually melt like ice cream when the pieces of black fireball fall on the ground around him.

If he didn't chop them off and seal their effect using his power, then it would be him that melt instead of the ground. Though Buggy is puzzled when he realizes that the black fire isn't hot at all. But its destructive power is beyond any fire he ever came across.

One word then enters Buggy's mind, 'Amaterasu?'

This fire reminds him of Itachi's and Sasuke's Amaterasu. Though he knows that it's obviously not that. But one thing that he knows is that this fire isn't the strongest fire Imu can make. It just looks just a casual attack, after all, so Imu must be able to make stronger versions of this black fire.

'What a monster. Luckily my power can affect his power, so I still have a chance. Otherwise, I won't have any way to defeat him.'

On the other side of the battlefield, fierce battles are ensuing too. The Clowns have more numbers, but the enemies are more powerful than they thought. Garling and Kong may be old, but they are as strong as Admirals, while the 5 God's Knights might be even stronger than Vice-Admirals. As for the Chief of CP-0, he is almost as powerful as an Admiral.

Furthermore, their abilities are very powerful and they are very skillful. Kong actually has a mythical zoan, Ape Ape Fruit, model: Sun Wukong. He has the power of the Monkey King, a mythical creature that has the power to go against the heaven in mythology.

Garling also has the power of a mythical creature, a 6-winged humanoid creature, the highest order of Angels, a Seraphim. Some also call it Archangel, but the official name is Seraphim, God's strongest servant.

As for the 5 God's Knights, they actually have unbelievable devil fruits too. The mythical wolf Fenrir, World Serpent Jormungandr, Lion-Hawk Gryphon, Gatekeeper of Hell Cerberus, and the King of Serpent Basilisk.

Meanwhile, the Chief of CP-0 is a Paramecia user. But his Paramecia is not ordinary either as it gives him the ability to absorb any materials and transforms his body to be those materials. If he absorbs diamond, then his body will be diamond, if he absorbs steel, then his body will be steel. Of course, he can't absorb materials that are the weakness of devil fruit abilities like seastone.

"The hell, man! Mythical Zoans are supposed to be rarer than even Logia. But there are 8 of them on the enemy's side and the dead 5 Elders also seem to have mythical zoans. They already have 13 that we know and maybe there were more, but those guys were killed by Captain's bombs."

Ruff clutches his head in frustration because he never thought that the enemies will be this ridiculous. The other Clowns are thinking the same, this is really ridiculous. Palu also thinks the same and he even has speculation.

"It seems Logia is actually rarer than Mythical Zoans. It's just that the Mythical Zoans are being monopolized by the World Nobles. They should even have more unknown powerful devil fruits in their storage. Maybe they have even more Mythical Zoans that they kept. Pity that those devil fruits might've been destroyed by Captain's bombs."

"It is possible, but maybe those devil fruits are still fine. There's no way they would store those super valuable items in normal storage. The storage must've been made using special materials that can withstand those explosions. There are things like Poneglyphs, after all, so there is a possibility."

"Well, we can search for them later after we won. Even if they have been destroyed, we just need to find them because they must've reincarnated. But to do any of those, we need to win this war first."

Cricket and Mantis say that before ordering the others to get ready. Their opponents might be ridiculous, but they are equally ridiculous too.
