Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

77. Useless Struggle

Buggy attacks Garp numerous times with different moves. But Garp doesn't move even for one step. Buggy has exerted all his strength on his attacks, but he can't do anything to Garp.

'Damn, he's like a mountain. I can't make him move even a bit. Even Pollux's press power is useless,' thinks Buggy while attacking.

"You're not bad for someone your age, but it's still not enough. What's your dream, kid?" asks Garp.

Buggy jumps back and takes a stance with both of his swords. "Exploring the world and discovering its mysteries."

"A good but dangerous dream. To reach that dream, your current strength is far from enough," says Garp while grinning.

"I know, you don't need to tell me that," says Buggy while charging both of his swords' devil fruits abilities using his haki to the max.

"Two Sword Style: Hardened Press!"

Buggy rushes at Garp with high speed and slashes his swords diagonally, making an X shape. Garp just grins and punches Buggy's sword attack with haki covered fist.

Buggy's attack clashes with Garp's fist and creates a blue lightning spark. Garp squint his eyes a little before blowing Buggy away. Buggy crashes to some buildings again, but now he moves farther than before until he crashes onto a cliff.

'The kid just awaken his Conqueror Haki. I never thought that I would help him awaken it. This is bad,' says Garp while still grinning.

Garp thinks like it's a bad thing, but he grins like it's a good thing. It's a bad thing because Buggy is a pirate and having Conqueror means he has the potential to stand above the others.

But Garp grins like it's a good thing because he knows Buggy is not an evil person or scum like most pirates. He hasn't even killed anyone so far to get his high bounty. So Garp still thinks positively about Buggy.

Buggy himself is surprised by what just happened. He never thought that he will have Conqueror Haki. But he also gets surprised to know that Garp has it too.

It's not strange though, considering Garp never follows orders and does as he please as a Marine. The dude literally refuse to be an Admiral many times because he didn't want to be Celestial Dragon's dog.

"I don't know if the original Buggy has Conqueror or not, but I don't think he has it. He is a coward, so he shouldn't have it. That means this is my own power. I don't know why I have it, but it's a good thing," says Buggy while getting up.

Buggy now has blood trickling out from his lips & nose. His hands also tremble after receiving Garp's punch. That punch is the strongest attack that he even received. Garp didn't hold back anything in that punch, but Buggy can survive it, showing his high durability.

Buggy walks toward Garp again even though his hands & body hurt. The impact of those crashes is not small at all. He has covered his body with haki, but it still feels really hurt.

"Damn, did he use advanced haki? Or it's just his pure monstrous strength?" ponders Buggy.

Buggy approach Garp and attack again with his injured body. Garp grins and attacks Buggy too. Now Garp doesn't defend and keeps on attacking Buggy.

Buggy's attacks are still useless and he received many punches now. However, he keeps standing and tries to not fall. If he falls, it will be hard to get up again.

His injuries keep increasing, but Buggy doesn't back down. He needs to stay here and stall time as long as he can. When some marines try to sneak into the island, Buggy will attack them with Pollux's power even when he received a punch from Garp.
