One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 121: The Smart One!

"I have a question. Can you tell me?" As the dust settled, the panting Gladius stared at Hawkins and asked.

"That depends on the question. If you're asking about your survival rate, I can answer that for you for free," Hawkins replied, feeling a bit smug at the moment.

Having such a mindset wasn't because Hawkins was looking down on Gladius, but because Hawkins had finally found someone weaker than him. That's right, a person!

Heaven have mercy. Among all the members of the Red Nose Pirates, Hawkins's joining was a special approval by Buggy without considering his strength. Although this didn't mean his strength was the lowest—at the very least, cow 3 would be on his knees if he fought Hawkins—but cow 3 wasn't a person. Overall, during the combat training while the Red Nose Pirates were lying low these past few years, Hawkins was basically abused by a group of freaks to the point of wanting to give up.

To finally be able to switch from the role of the one being abused, the smugness in Hawkins's heart was perfectly understandable.

"Red-Nosed Buggy, where on earth did he find a bunch of freaks like you?" Faced with this immortal freak before him who treated injuries like a game and could recover at any time, Gladius was truly hit hard.

"You're calling me a freak? Hahahaha, I finally heard someone call me a freak! It hasn't been easy! Being in a team that is mostly composed of monsters, I didn't even know my own strength could be considered freaky. I was almost abused to the point of losing all my confidence. Baldy, although we are enemies, I still have to thank you for your compliment. To show my respect, I've decided to give you as quick a death as possible," Hawkins, who was usually taciturn from being abused, had another talkative version of himself burst forth today.

And after hearing Hawkins's words, Gladius's heart completely sank. This unkillable bastard was actually a bottom-tier character in the Red Nose Pirates? Was there any chance of victory in this battle?

"Before I send you on your way, I'll answer your question. I honestly don't know how the captain found them. But I just happened to run into the captain by chance, and then the captain said he needed my divination ability, so I got on the ship. And don't laugh, the captain said that I am the only one who was invited onto the ship without my strength being considered and without his training. Now that I've said what needs to be said, we should begin."

Raising his sword, Hawkins's figure flickered and was beside Gladius. He brought the sword down on him.

His hands turning pitch black, Gladius grabbed at Hawkins's sword.

Changing from a chop to a slice, and facing a bastard who could make anything explode, Hawkins, who was reluctant to part with his weapon, once again avoided a direct confrontation.

Just as Hawkins was about to change his method and prepare to attack again, a very annoying voice sounded in his ear.

"ROOM! Scan!"

As soon as the voice fell, Hawkins felt his vision blur. Gladius, who was originally in front of him, had disappeared from his sight. What he was facing now was a giant rock.

"Slaughterhouse!"

Swapping places with Hawkins, Law appeared and unleashed several slashes at Gladius, instantly cutting him into several pieces.

It was only after being cut into several pieces that Gladius realized his opponent had changed, and that this ability was even more bizarre, able to separate a person without killing them.

"Law, you bastard! This is so unfair! You actually stole my opponent! Does the captain know you're doing this?" Running over towards Gladius, and seeing him cut into pieces and having lost his ability to fight, Hawkins yelled at Law.

"You fool. Look at how many are still fighting. You were the one who was slow, how can you blame me?" Glancing at Hawkins, Law said coldly.

"The seniors have finished, but you still shouldn't have stolen my opponent! It took me so much effort to gain someone's recognition. If I don't personally send him on his way, how can I show my respect for him? You have to give me an explanation!"

"My hands were itching!"

Listening to the immortal bastard's roar and the cold-faced bastard's reply, Gladius was truly enraged.

Damn it! Killing me is respecting me?! I don't need your respect! In fact, I'll respect you! As for your hands itching, itch your sister! If your hands are itching, you should be fighting for three hundred rounds, right?! What's the deal with a sneak attack right at the start?! So you've been fighting this whole time, and not being able to land a sneak attack made your hands itch?

The more he thought, the angrier he got. And the angrier he got, the more Gladius's body began to involuntarily expand.

"If I'm going to die, we'll die together!" With a roar, Gladius's body rapidly expanded.

"Bastard, get back, quick! This guy's ability is explosions, and he can also self-destruct! Losing his ability to move doesn't stop his attack!" Seeing Gladius's face flush and his desperate look, Hawkins shouted at Law, then turned tail and ran without a second thought.

"ROOM! Scan!" In just an instant, Law used his ability to move himself behind a certain building a street away from Gladius. Then, with another move, he finally got several hundred meters away.

In the next second, with a deafening "BOOM," an explosion with a radius of up to a hundred meters occurred where they had been fighting.

As the energy was released and continued to expand outwards, a black shadow, unnoticed by Law and Hawkins, also appeared outside the energy's range. It then used the force of the blast to be thrown far outwards and quickly moved away from the battlefield.

Sitting at the city gate, Fujitora sensed this scene, grinned, and then muttered to himself, "What a smart fellow."

That's right, the person who escaped was none other than Gladius. It might be difficult for an ordinary person to reassemble themselves after being cut into several pieces, but Gladius was an exception. Although his self-destruction would cause him a considerable amount of damage, his ability would allow his body to return to its original state after the explosion.

Being sneak-attacked by Law, and with the addition of Hawkins who was hard to even injure, there was no way Gladius would continue to fight. Running became the first choice, and then came the Oscar-worthy performance.

To be able to fool Law and Hawkins, Gladius was considered lucky. At least, compared to the vast majority of the Donquixote Family, he was very lucky.

But not everyone in the Donquixote Family was this lucky, at least not Diamante, who was up against Mihawk.

Facing the legendary Great Swordsman, at the very beginning, Diamante's mood was one of excitement and nervousness. After all, the term "Great Swordsman" represented strength.

In order to measure the gap in this strength, Diamante went all out from the very beginning. Not only did he release his Death Enjambre, but he also drew his sword that could bend and continuously launched shameless sneak attacks at Mihawk, who was dodging on the waving ground.

Perhaps even Mihawk himself would have to admit that Diamante's all-out effort at the beginning had caused him some small trouble.

But it was limited to just small trouble. After taking less than two minutes to adapt to the opponent's ability, when Mihawk raised his black blade, the battle was already over.

Without monster-level strength, facing Mihawk's black blade, Diamante couldn't even manage to dodge.

With just that one slash, the battle ended uninterestingly, becoming the fastest-ending battle among the eleven battlefields of the Donquixote Family versus the Red Nose Pirates.
