Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 122: Attacking The Half-Wings

Cricket leads The Clown to find the Half-Wings pirates. They go to the White Sea, but not too far, and just wait near the island. The Half-Wings will return soon, so they just need to wait.

They look around for any sign of their targets while preparing their weapons. Ruff, Manba, and Deon prepare their ship's cannons that have been upgraded by Ruff. With these upgraded cannons, they won't lose in a naval battle.

An hour later, a galleon ship with a pirate flag appear from the White Sea. Their flag has a picture of a skull with a pair of wings that get cut in half. It is the Half-Wing Pirates' ship that is much bigger than Little Hunter.

"Here they come. Let's go!" says Cricket.

The Clowns grins in excitement and move their ship toward the Half-Wings' location. The enemies also see them and move toward them. The Half-Wings have been informed about The Clowns by Soconut before.

Soconut told them to not return for a few days because they are targeted by The Clowns. But they just scoffed at it because there are no Blue Sea Pirates that could defeat them so far. So there's no need to worry about The Clowns.

Both crews are getting closer and no one takes the initiative to attack. They are side by side now and look at each other. The Half-Wings are smiling and laughing crookedly while The Clowns just have flat expressions.

"So you're the crew that Soconut has told us. Heh, I thought you are a big crew, but you only have 7 people. It's not too late to surrender now. I will let you go if you give us all your valuables and those 2 girls," says the Half-Wings' Captain while smirking.

The Half-Wings' members laugh and whistle at Mantis & Jude. The 2 girls are disgusted by them and also feel pity at the same time. They don't know what will happen to them after this.

"You want our valuables? Then take it by yourself, that is if you can. As for these girls, you won't be able to handle them, so you better stop before it's too late," says Cricket while smirking.

"Hmph, don't say that I didn't give you a chance later. Boys, destroy them!" orders the Half-Wings' Captain.

"Aye aye!" replied the Half-Wings.

The Half-Wings aim their cannons at Little Hunter and get ready to shoot. They shoot their cannons at Little Hunter and The Clowns just look at the incoming projectiles. The Half-Wings laugh seeing The Clowns just stand there and do nothing.

But then, they stop their laugh and their faces stiffen. Jude has spread her ash to cover the ship and block the cannonballs.

"Devil fruit user," says the enemy's captain.

"Ho, so you know about the devil fruit," says Cricket with a mocking tone.

"Of course, I know about them. I've faced some devil fruit users, but no one could defeat me so far. If you thought you could win just because you have devil fruits, then you are wrong," says the enemy's captain.

"So you've defeated some devil fruit users, huh? That means you're quite strong, that's good. This battle won't get too boring," says Cricket.

"Hmph, such a big talk," says the enemy's captain.

"Is it? Ruff, Manba, Deon, show them what we got," says Cricket.

The three grin and nod before aiming 3 of their cannons at the galleon ship.

"We'll show you a glimpse of our crews' power. Shoot!" orders Cricket.

Ruff, Manba, and Deon shoot their cannons at the galleon. From the cannons, 3 red cannonballs come out and fly toward the galleon. These cannonballs are Buggy Balls that have been upgraded by Ruff.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

The cannonballs hit the galleon ship and create big explosions. They didn't hit at the good spots because the 3's aim is bad. But the explosions are big & strong enough to cover the bad aiming.

The Half-Wings couldn't block the cannonballs like The Clowns. Now their ship has 3 big holes on the left side and starts to tilt. The Half-Wings are panicking and try to balance their ship.

"Cricket," calls Palu.

"I know, let's go," says Cricket.

The Clowns nod and move their ship closer to the galleon. Then everyone except Ruff jumps to the galleon ship. Ruff will stay on the ship and control it while they fight like usual. He can also shoot from their ship while avoiding battle.

The Half-Wings see The Clowns are getting on their ship. So they stop what they do and focus on the Clowns. They withdraw their weapons and get ready to fight. Their captain stands in the front with a mace in his hands.

"I must admit that you have powerful weapons, but that's it. Now you've got on my ship and you can't run anywhere. You will see the power of Sky Pirates, Blue Sea Pirates," says the enemy captain haughtily.

"Trying to lift your men's morales?" asks Cricket mockingly.

"Tsk, get them, boys!" orders the enemy

The Half-Wings rush to attack The Clowns together. There are 78 of them now, it's higher than what they heard from Birka's God. But that's not a problem for The Clowns.

The battle between Clown Pirates and Half-Wings Pirates has broken. All Half-Wings Pirates move to attack, while not all Clown Pirates move. Cricket and Palu stay in the back right now.

"Cricket, I'll take the Captain," says Palu.

"Sure, just don't get too hard on him," says Cricket.

"I can only say that he won't die, for now," says Palu before rushing to attack the enemy Captain.

The Half-Wings members try to block Palu's way, but Jude blocks them with her ash. Manba then shoots his bazooka to the ones on the left side. As for the ones on the right side, they are shot by Ruff using his hand cannon from Little Hunter's crow nest.

Palu reaches the enemy Captain easily and swings his Warhammer. The enemy Captain also swings his mace and it clashes with Palu's Warhammer. Surprisingly, the enemy Captain is strong enough to block Palu's attack even though Palu only used a third of his strength.

"Heh, so you're not just a big talker," says Palu.

"You are the big talkers here," says the enemy Captain.

"Oho? We'll see who's right later," says Palu.

Palu and the enemy Captain start to clash with their weapons. Of course, Palu still doesn't use his full power because he wants to play first. He wants to raise his enemy's hope before throwing it down later.

Meanwhile, Mantis fights the crowd easily with her dance-like moves. She imbued her colorless armament haki on her staff to increase the damage. Buggy has told them that they need to use their haki often to train it, so she uses her haki even though it's just the colorless haki.

On another side, Deon is fighting the Half-Wings in his normal form. Cricket has ordered him to only use his devil fruit if it gets too difficult. He needs to strengthen his basics first, which is his normal form.

While the others fight, Cricket just stays behind and watches them. He will just move to give support and command if they need it. Buggy has ordered him to not help the others unless it's needed and just gives them commands.

Meanwhile, at Bani's house, some people come to make trouble. They are Half-Wings' men who stayed on the island and come here on their Captain's command after Soconut told him about The Clowns.

"It's a good thing that I stayed here. It seems I need to give your God & his men some beatings again. Their mouths are too loose," says Buggy who sits on the roof.

The pirates are surprised and look at Buggy who jumps down from the roof.

Buggy grins and says, "Don't make me bored."
