As the feathers were about to hit Buggy, the leader watched him, completely unfazed. His bird beak seemed to open involuntarily. He had already foreseen Buggy's fate.
Although he couldn't bring Buggy back alive, the leader felt that it wouldn't matter much to those higher-ups. They didn't want the man himself. They probably just wanted him dead. The leader had some understanding of this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically sent him to arrest someone who had only killed a few human traffickers. It was clearly an overreaction.
The leader's eyes remained fixed on Buggy, ready to watch his fate. But the outcome surprised him greatly. When the feathers hit Buggy, they passed through him without any resistance, landing on the ground behind him. There was no trace of Buggy left where he stood.
This result shocked the leader. He couldn't understand the strange sight before him. Buggy had vanished from where he stood. At the same time, his heart sank.
The leader reacted instantly, immediately flapping his wings and flying higher into the sky. He sensed danger and knew that the higher he flew, the safer he would be.
Just as the leader flew upwards, a strange figure suddenly appeared on his back.
The leader immediately felt a tremendous force attacking him, pressing his body down towards the ground.
The leader instinctively tried to shake off Buggy, who was clinging to his back like a shadow. He was falling faster and faster.
Seeing that he was about to crash into the ground, the leader came up with a plan. He immediately transformed back into his human form. As he was about to hit the ground, he twisted his body and landed to the side.
Buggy, standing on the leader's back, didn't immediately strike him down. He had countless opportunities to attack while on his back, but that wasn't the outcome he wanted. He still needed to get some information from the leader.
The leader's fall from a great height didn't cause much damage. As he fell, his wings slowed his descent. His Zoan-type Devil Fruit gave him a strong physique. This small amount of damage was nothing to him. He only suffered minor abrasions.
The moment the leader hit the ground, he stood up and looked at Buggy, then at his soldiers.
Buggy was standing in front of him, still calm and composed. There was no other expression in his eyes, but the leader felt Buggy's disdain for him. It was as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
He also saw his soldiers in the distance. Their condition was simply appalling. Most of them were lying on the ground. Many had been cleaved in two by a young man wielding a long sword. Many others were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
There were only a few soldiers left standing. There were a few more beside a younger boy. The soldiers were fighting there, but they were clearly at a disadvantage against such a young boy. The leader judged that they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Seeing this scene, the leader realized that he had really met his match. Not only was the leader of the other party powerful, but his subordinates were also very strong. If they all attacked him, he might not be able to hold on for long. Looking at the scene before him, the leader felt a hint of retreat.
Buggy saw the direction the leader was looking at and knew that Weevil and the others had completely intimidated him. Seeing his eyes darting around, Buggy knew he was about to run.
Buggy didn't wait for the leader to react. He used Soru (moonwalk) and disappeared. The leader saw this and became nervous, frantically searching for Buggy.
Of course, he found nothing. He realized that his current situation was very dangerous. He immediately used his Devil Fruit ability, instantly transforming into a giant owl, and charged towards the sky.
But the result was despairing. The moment he flew into the air, a tremendous force kicked him in the stomach. He flew backward uncontrollably. The immense force caused him to smash through the walls of several houses behind him.
If the owners of those houses hadn't noticed the fight and moved away, the impact alone might have caused significant casualties.
The leader finally slammed into a wall, hanging there in a spread-eagle position. Blood poured out of his mouth uncontrollably. He fainted.
Buggy immediately pulled the leader's body off the wall. He wasn't dead. The strong physique of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user allowed him to withstand the blow. Of course, Buggy had intentionally held back. If he had used his full strength, the other party would have died instantly.
He took the leader back to Weevil and the others. The soldiers had basically all been dealt with. The dead were truly dead. And they died very miserably. Weevil had cleaved them in two with his cleaver. Weevil wouldn't show mercy. In his thirteen years, his mother had never taught him this. He basically went for the kill against his enemies. If he could cleave them in two, he wouldn't just cut off their hands or feet. He had killed the most soldiers.
The others were similar. Faced with this situation, they didn't hold back. The other party wanted to kill them, so they wouldn't be foolish enough to spare them. Even Kuro had killed a few soldiers.
This was the result of their training over the past few days. Otherwise, with his strength back in the Black Cat Pirates, he might have been defeated by several elite kingdom soldiers.
Hogback didn't participate in the fight. He had no strength at all. And he didn't want to fight against these kingdom soldiers. He still wanted to use these soldiers to escape. So, he had been hiding in the back.
They didn't expect him to fight, and they consciously protected him. Lafitte even stood beside him, protecting him on one hand and preventing him from escaping on the other.
Killing didn't affect anyone. Even Kuro didn't show any unusual behavior. This also included Hogback. Although he hadn't killed anyone, he had seen more blood than anyone else present. He was used to life and death. These scenes didn't affect him.
"Cousin, these people are so weak. They can't even withstand one of my blows. Slicing them up is like cutting melons and vegetables."
Weevil looked at Buggy with a silly smile, boasting. He was full of disdain for the weakness of these enemies.
"Weevil, you're too strong. But you have to remember that these people are nothing in the vast sea. Later, your cousin will show you what real strong people are like. You have to practice hard. The martial arts and swordsmanship your cousin taught you. There are many more strong people out there."
"Hehe, I understand, cousin." Weevil said with a silly grin.
He completely believed what Buggy said. Buggy was his only relative now. Whatever he said was true. He took Buggy's advice to heart. He decided to practice hard and learn the martial arts and swordsmanship his cousin taught him.
