Chapter 436: Escaping Impel Down
Chapter 436: Escaping Impel Down
The battle between Buggy and Bullet in level 6 finally starts. Bullet immediately uses his ability to control the pieces of broken bars and rocks. The bars are made of seastone, but devil fruit users can use their abilities on seastone as long as they don't touch it.
That's also the reason why Bullet immediately uses the broken seastone bars. He wants to nullify Buggy's devil fruit ability using the seastone pieces. Bullet is a mechanical expert, but there's no machinery or metal here, so he can only use stones.
He covers his body with normal stones before covering his stone body with seastone. This way, Buggy's power will be nullified when they collide. There aren't many things here, so this is the best solution Bullet can think of for now. Besides, he himself is very powerful already, so he is confident he can win even without making machines.
Bullet suddenly disappears and appears right in front of Buggy. He sends a punch using his big fist, but Buggy evades it by jumping to the left. Bullet is very fast, but Buggy has fought Kizaru a few times, and there's no way Bullet can be faster than Kizaru.
"Soru? Heh, you've learned something quite nice."
"You are not bad yourself."
Bullet chases Buggy with high speed and sends punches. He also creates spears using his devil fruit ability and throws them toward Buggy while he attacks. But Buggy can evade them very easily using his advanced Observation Haki that lets him see some seconds into the future.
"Are you sure you want to surpass Roger with this level of power? You can't even touch me from the beginning. I bet Roger would pummel you to pulps from the afterlife."
Bullet gets furious and attacks Buggy with more power. Each of his punches is strong enough to create big cracks in the ground. The corpses that were already in bad shape get destroyed even more until they can't be recognized.
"Hey, you shouldn't disrespect the dead."
Buggy's empty words don't enter Bullet's ears and he keeps chasing Buggy while destroying level 6 even more. It has been quite long since Luffy's group left level 6, so the Blackbeard might come anytime soon. Right when he thinks of that, Buggy feels some presence getting closer.
"Sigh, time's up."
Buggy decides to end the fight and swipes his hand down from above as Bullet gets closer to him. Vertical lines appear on Bullet's body that then gets chopped into 5 pieces. Buggy evades Bullet's chopped body that falls on him.
Bullet can only look at Buggy in disbelief while Buggy is looking down on him. He is furious when he sees Buggy's condemning gaze, but he can't do anything because his body gets chopped to pieces. Their difference in power is also great enough because Buggy only needs to attack once to win.
"Maybe you will get stronger if I let you go and fill your energy. But I am not stupid enough to release you and let you rampage out there, endangering innocent people. So let's end this here."
Bullet wants to scoff at Buggy's thought of protecting innocent people. But he can't even say it because Buggy already stomps on his head, destroying it. After all, Buggy uses a powerful advanced haki. Bullet's head gets destroyed to pieces, he is finally dead.
After killing Bullet, Buggy uses his power to chop everything in level 6 into very small sizes. Corpses, broken bars, pieces of stone. Everything becomes very small like dust and then he combines them all into a big block that he puts in the corner.
Right when he finishes, some people enter level 6. They are Blackbeard Pirates who still only have 6 members including their Captain & horse. The 6 of them were expecting to see notorious criminals everywhere on level 6, but they only see empty & broken cells.
"Oh? I didn't expect guests to come. Do you have a business here?"
Buggy walks out of the dark area in the deeper part of level 6. Now the Blackbeard Pirates can finally see someone here. But they can't even say anything when they see the blood that covers Kuroko Buggy's body.
"You- Aren't you-!?"
Burgess can't even finish his words because he gets stunned when he sees Kuroko Buggy's grin. All of them suddenly feel nervous and scared when they see that grin. Buggy doesn't even use his Conqueror Haki, yet he can intimidate them already, even Teach.
He walks past them and enters the lift without touching them. Buggy doesn't plan to kill them now because he has another plan for these guys. So he just needs to go up to the top level to leave Impel Down. He has a war to attend and watch, after all.
However, the lift doesn't work because the officers turn it off. Buggy sighs and then climbs the lift path by jumping from side to side. He rather does this rather than climb the stairs. With his power and agility, doing this is very easy for him.
Buggy reaches the top level very fast without the need to face any obstacles. He arrives when Luffy's group is still facing Magellan. Mr. 3 is in their group too, so they can face Magellan's venom with his candle.
Magellan has activated his awakened devil fruit ability, so this battle shouldn't take too long to finish. Buggy decides to give them help, but not by defeating Magellan. He goes to the control room to open the Gate of Justice.
Buggy knocks out some guards on his way to the control room. Then when he arrives, he breaks the door by kicking it hard enough. It surprises everyone inside, but they don't have the chance to retaliate because Buggy knocks them out using Conqueror Haki.
That is a mistake though because he doesn't know which switch they use to open the Gate. So he decides to wake someone up by slapping the man multiple times. The man wakes up just to tremble in fear of being killed.
Buggy forces the man to show him the switch used to open the Gate. The man is surprisingly brave enough to refuse Buggy's order even though he trembles in fear. He won't talk until Buggy threatens to kill everyone there. Buggy doesn't like this method, but it's the only choice.
After finding the switch, Buggy opens the Gate of Justice using the switch he has just found. He looks at the monitors and sees that one of level 6's cameras denden mushis has woken up. Blackbeard Pirates are still in level 6, searching for someone alive.
"What a useless effort. Hey, you, is there something we can do to level 6 from this place?"
"W-why would you ask?"
"Look at those bastards in there. Don't you want to punish them even a bit? They are a Warlord crew, but they suddenly entered Impel Down without any notice. Don't you think they are up to something? Besides, they are in level 6 out of all places. It is a secret level, right?"
The poor guard doesn't know what happened in level 6 because it's empty now. But he knows that Buggy is right. The Blackbeards must be up to something. Too bad though, there is nothing they can do from the control room other than close level 6's door and stops the lift.
"Sigh, so disappointing. Alright then, thanks for your help."
Buggy knocks out the poor guard and leaves the control room. He goes to the entrance and sees many prisoners are gathering there. They are waiting for the battle behind them to finish and for Jinbe, Crocodile, and Daz Bones to return with a ship for their escape.
"Damn, they are too slow."
Luffy's group still hasn't defeated Magellan, so Buggy decides to give a hand. Besides, he needs to make sure Magellan gets knocked out very well so that the big guy won't close the Gate of Justice before they escape. Buggy arrives and sees Luffy's group struggling against Magellan's awakened power.
"Move aside, you noobs!"
They all look at the source of that voice. Luffy and Magellan look very surprised when they see Kuroko Buggy comes. Magellan is especially surprised because a prisoner from level 6 has escaped and reached this place.
"You... The one from Skypiea. What are you doing here?"
"Save the talk for later. You are taking too long to defeat him, so I came here."
After saying that, Buggy flashes toward Magellan at a very fast speed that looks like Soru. Well, he has a technique that Cricket made to copy Soru. It is faster though because of Buggy's high physical power.
Kuroko Buggy appears in front of Magellan's face and sends a strong punch. His punch hits Magellan's face and sends the big red venom man flying to the wall behind. Magellan crashes onto the wall very strongly and makes the wall crack.
Then Buggy punches Magellan a few more times to knock him out. Buggy didn't use his full power in the first punch because he still wants to hide his power in front of these guys. That's why he needs to punch Magellan a few times to knock out the Chief Warden.
After Magellan passes out, Buggy leaves for the entrance, followed by the stunned pirates. They were having a very hard time against Magellan, but Buggy defeated him with a few punches. They give him some questions, but he doesn't answer anything.
He just stays silent until they finally get on the ship that Jinbe & co got. Of course, Jinbe is very surprised when he sees Kuroko Buggy there. Crocodile doesn't know anything because he got imprisoned before Buggy really made a name as Kuroko.
But anyway, the prisoners finally leave Impel Down and now sail in the Tarai Current. They are on their way to Marineford where a big war between Whitebeard Pirates & Marines will happen. Buggy is really anticipating this because this is one of the most important events in the story.
