Pirate: I, Buggy, am the Emperor, the Emperor of the Clown King!

Chapter 182: Taking Demon as the Root, the Most Ferocious and Evil Ultimate Power

boom!!!

The Great Ape's spear struck Pakistan squarely.

The shockwave spread in all directions from the point of impact, and the ground of God's Island collapsed around Bucky, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading hundreds of meters outwards.

Rocks, clouds, and broken trees were swept into the sky by the shockwave and then fell like rain.

If this island hadn't been strengthened by Bucky's power as the core of Dark Tornado Mountain, this attack would have shattered the sky island.

After all, this island of gods had already endured too many impacts in the previous battles, and if it weren't for Bucky's power supporting it, it would have shattered long ago.

Keep in mind that this island is home to more than 20 of the world's top-tier experts engaged in a deadly melee.

Whether this level of combat intensity will be unparalleled in the future is hard to say, but it is definitely unprecedented.

Luffy withdrew his fist and landed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The fifth-gear Nika state itself consumes a great deal of physical and mental energy, and the fact that it can be maintained for so long is entirely due to the immortality granted by Im.

Luffy was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat. The white light of Gear 5 flickered on his body, indicating that he was nearing his limit.

Even the immortality granted by Im has its limits; the regenerative power is not infinite.

Otherwise, the Five Elders and the Wild Boar wouldn't have been drained of their fighting power by the Joker.

"This guy is too strong—we've been fighting for so long and he's not even hurt." Luffy said, trying to stay alert after catching his breath.

Everyone present fell silent for a moment, and the rhythm of the battle slowed down for a brief instant.

Is Bucky's strength normal?

Everyone present felt that something was wrong.

Even Im thought Bucky was abnormal.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Bucky remained suspended there.

The black and white clothes of the Clown King were without a single wrinkle, and there wasn't even a scratch on his mask.

"Your punch is more interesting than Kaido's Thunder Bagua." Buggy tilted his head, looking playful but with a hint of boredom in his voice.

The Gum-Gum Fruit, the Nika Fruit—Buggy genuinely felt that the art style of these things was a bit off.

If it's against someone else, Bucky can still feel that he's cool and stylish.

If Buggy were to fight Luffy, he would feel like, "Don't try to lower my IQ to your level and then use your extensive experience with being an idiot to defeat me."

Simply put, it means dislike or disgust.

Luffy's face darkened; he couldn't smile, he really couldn't smile—in front of Buggy, he didn't even seem like himself anymore.

"Luffy!" Dragon attacked from the left, his right hand curling up, the energy of the Dragon Claw Fist condensing into a semi-transparent dragon claw phantom between his fingers.

When he saw that his son was not in a good condition, the first person to rush over was of course his father.

Sweat King Dragon swings his claws with incredible speed and at an extremely tricky angle, aiming straight for Bucky's vital joints.

Zefa charged up from the right.

The seastone-enhanced mechanical arm gleamed with a dark blue light, and Black Arm Zephyr poured all his power into this strike.

The suppressive effect of Seastone on Devil Fruit users, combined with Zephyr's decades of Armament Haki training, is enough to directly destroy a ship.

The highest-ranking naval warship.

Everyone's attention was subconsciously focused on Zephyr. Since all kinds of attacks were ineffective against Buggy, they would naturally want to try using Seastone.

Bucky saw the two of them, and also the people behind them who were still rushing upwards.

Hawkeye's cross slash, Kaido's heat breath, Loki's thunder hammer, Jabba's axe wind, Beckman's bullet, Fujitora's gravity sword—all the attacks came from all directions, as dense as a large net woven from swords.

Any normal strong person would be reduced to dust in such a gang fight.

Even if Im wanted to fight 20 people in a 1v2, he would be beaten into a pulp.

But Pakistan is different.

Not only will he not be beaten into slavery, but he will fight back and beat these twenty-odd people into slavery!

The terrifying and domineering aura of the bombardment and the destructive ultimate moves on the field were locked in a stalemate.

When Conqueror's Haki reaches a certain level, it can form an invisible barrier at the cost of significant energy expenditure.

Rocks used this move back in God Valley. It can completely negate the attacks of Roger and Garp, who were imbued with Conqueror's Haki. The attacks are completely ineffective and cannot harm the body in the slightest.

However, this defensive approach is extremely energy-consuming and generally cannot be sustained. Only Bucky's current special circumstances allow him to use it this way.

After harvesting billions of souls, Bucky's power reserves are beyond imagination. The only thing limiting Bucky's power is the efficiency of his output.

During this stalemate, Bucky burst into laughter.

"Playing like this is too boring."

Before the words were even finished, the four aces drew four silver-white arcs in the air.

Masks Square!

No one could see clearly what it was.

In just a moment, the whole world seemed to have been replaced by another space.

All colors faded to black and white, leaving only a gigantic clown mask suspended in the void between heaven and earth.

The four trump card throwing knives spread out in all directions like four mirrors, creating endless illusions.

A thousand.

Ten thousand.

The entire space was filled with the glint of blades, so dense that even the air itself seemed to lose its place.

The red-haired man was the first to be engulfed by the blade, his body instantly sliced ​​into countless pieces.

Following them are Hawkeye, Kaido, Loki, Jabba, Beckman, Dragon, Zephyr, Zoro, and Katakuri —

One cut, ten cuts, a hundred cuts.

Endless shadows of blades darted wildly through the space, tearing everyone's body to shreds.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, bone fragments splattered, and the entire area was transformed into a giant meat grinder in just a few breaths.

The area of ​​the masquerade plaza does not cover Im.

He had been standing at a distance, releasing demonic energy blasts to support the others' attack.

"Oh no?!" Im's pupils shrank, and his demonic energy surged wildly around him.

He had to intervene; he couldn't let Bucky eliminate everyone's immortality.

"Too late." Bucky's voice came from amidst the flashing blades.

One of Bucky's magic tricks is the Flame Wheel. Although Bucky doesn't usually use this trick, he can still set things on fire.

The flames were a deep purplish-black color, spreading out in a circle like ocean waves, attempting to envelop all the scattered flesh and blood in the entire masquerade plaza.

If it's just cut into pieces, an immortal body can repair itself.

But if you are completely burned to ashes, then you are truly dead.

The immortality granted by Im has its limits.

This is something the stepmother cannot accept.

Bucky clasped his hands together in a fist, with his index fingers pointing forward.

Destroy the aurora.

A purplish-black beam of light shot out from his fingertips, faster and more powerful than ever before.

The beam of light tore through the air, scattering all the afterimages along its path, and blasted straight toward Im.

"Im will save this world!" Im crossed his arms in front of him, and demonic energy coiled around him like a tornado, forming layer upon layer of black shields.

The moment the destructive aurora collided with the shield, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble.

The shield shattered layer by layer, and the aftershocks of the beam of light tore countless wounds through Im's body, leaving him looking as if he had been severed.

It flew backward like a kite on a string and crashed into the ruins hundreds of meters away.

Despite being in poor condition, Im really held on.

The accumulation of 800 years of time still has some significance.

Bucky flashed and appeared in front of Im.

He grabbed Im's head.

"Can it still hold on?"

Then Bucky slammed Im's head down onto the ground.

boom!

The ground exploded as if hit by a meteorite, and the entire Isle of God trembled.

Im's entire upper body was embedded in the shattered ground, and a large crater tens of meters in diameter was smashed into the surrounding ground.

Bucky leaped into the air without hesitation.

He had no intention of staying put and watching the show.

The next instant, a monstrous burst of demonic energy erupted from the deep pit.

Black flames mixed with Conqueror's Haki erupted from the bottom of the pit, like a volcano awakening on God's Island.

Im's body rose from the bottom of the pit, his body wrapped in demonic energy and black and red lightning, and his body looked somewhat tattered.

Because of Im's obstruction, not all of the corpses were completely burned away; the remaining pieces began to reassemble, and in the end, they were not reduced to ashes by the flames.

The shattered body reassembles and regenerates.

Red-haired Shanks, Hawkeye, Kaido, Loki, Jabba, Beckman, Dragon, Zephyr, Zoro, Katakuri —

Everyone is back.

"It's a real shame. As an immortal being, Im yourself is not immortal." Buggy flew in mid-air, looking down at the scene below, without showing any surprise.

"Im can grant you immortality, but Im himself does not."

Bucky had already realized that in the previous battles, although Im would look for opportunities to engage Bucky in close combat, he would avoid getting injured himself, unlike others who would trade blows for injuries at the drop of a hat.

I had no choice but to risk my life before.

"To protect this world—I won't let you run rampant!" Im wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He was the strongest among them, and also the easiest to break through.

Others have the immortality he bestowed upon them, but Im himself has no second layer of protection.

He can resurrect others, but he cannot resurrect himself.

Once he's killed, everyone will be doomed.

"Im will make you pay the price." Im's face paled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Oh?" Bucky looked at Im, then glanced at the crowd below who had already stood up again. "You guys?"

Loki looked up at Bucky, gripping the squirrel hammer tightly, and whispered, "This isn't good."

Luffy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "It's okay. If we drag this out to the end, we'll be the ones who win."

He looked up at Bucky in the sky, his eyes burning with a light he'd never seen before. "As long as Im is here, we will not die!"

"So as long as Im doesn't die, you win." Bucky repeated, tilting his head to look at them. "That's what you're thinking?"

No one answered.

But everyone's actions have already answered the question.

Hawkeye gripped his black sword again, Shanks held Griffin horizontally in front of him, Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder, Jabba twirled the handle of his axe, and Dragon held the Reincarnation Wheel: Souda Mountain Disc.

"Protect Lord Im." Manmaia Junko said in a low voice, and took the lead in standing in front of Im.

Shamrock said nothing and just did it.

Regardless of the specific circumstances, Im is the only last hope for saving the world.

Without the immortality granted by Im, they wouldn't even have the chance to survive a single encounter with Bucky.

"What a bunch of ungrateful worms." Baji originally wanted to play a little longer.

After all, I've been in the One Piece world for so long, and I've never had such a satisfying fight before.

More than twenty fearless sandbags, no matter how much you hit them, they won't break; no matter how you cut them, they won't fall apart.

Normally, such opportunities are rare.

But Bucky didn't intend to play for too long; after all, they were just a bunch of punching bags, and playing for too long seemed pointless.

Bucky had already noticed that these guys were starting to repeat the same tricks, and he was the kind of person who always got bored easily.

"I was thinking of playing a little longer." Bucky's voice suddenly changed. It was no longer the flippant and smiling tone he used before, but rather like an undercurrent rising from the bottom of the deep sea, cold and heavy.

"But your confident demeanor is a bit troubling me."

"You guys seem to think you're going to win?"

He raised his hands in a gesture of embracing the world, his eyes gazing at the sky.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you my true power."

boom!!!

An unprecedented shockwave was released from Bucky.

Buggy's Conqueror's Haki is stronger than anyone imagined, because he is a true world conqueror. This is not a possibility, but a certainty.

How many people are there in a world?

And he has already spent billions!

Its dominant position is beyond question.

Because this is an absolute objective reality.

A shockwave is a pure, extreme fluctuation of power that is indescribable after it has mixed everything together.

The shockwave blasted outwards from Pakistan, blowing away all the dust, sand, and rubble scattered across the island.

The dark tornado below looked like it was about to be shaken apart, but thankfully, because Buggy was still alive, he still had the power to keep it spinning and could maintain its position.

Even the surrounding sea of ​​clouds was pushed back, and a huge circular hole appeared in the sky, through which sunlight poured down and shone on Bucky.

Then, the black phantom appeared.

It was as if the shadows of the entire world came alive at that moment, crawling out of Bucky's shadow, climbing up his body, covering his face, and entwining his limbs.

Baji was always dressed in black and white, but at this moment, the black became even darker, so dark that even light could not penetrate it.

While inside Wapol the mechanical dragon, Bucky had already completely absorbed the S Joker as material.

He used the power of the Vampire Fruit within S the Clown as a substitute for Myotismon.

The billions of souls he devoured transformed into a hand of deep resentment.

Then, using the Hand of Deep Resentment to control his body as the Clown King, he completely absorbed S Joker.

Before everyone arrived, Bucky had already completed the final step, only he hadn't unleashed that power before.

Now is the time to unleash this power.

The black phantom enveloped Bucky and began to change his form.

Piedmon's Ultimate Evolution!

Ghost Mask Beast!

After the shadow disappeared.

A different form than the Clown King appeared.

His head was covered by a large, black triangular pirate hat with a blood-red feather stuck on top.

A white noble mask appeared on his face, with an eerie smile etched on it, the corners of his mouth stretching to his ears, and dark red light burning in his empty eye sockets.

Then a magnificent golden breastplate materialized from the black phantom, its surface etched with intricate patterns.

The red scarf was rolled up from behind her neck, fluttering in the wind.

Blue-purple striped lantern trousers covered her legs, and the cuffs were tucked into a pair of black boots.

A pair of red and black bat-demon wings suddenly unfolded behind her, resembling a skirt armor near her waist.

A long tail with sickle-shaped spikes lashed out from behind, like a venomous snake living in the shadows.

Finally, the arms.

Below are two normal main arms, the left hand holding a gun and the right hand resting on a sword.

Above the shoulder blades, two slender black bony arms extended out, their claws wide open, like two hands reaching out from the abyss, ready to tear everything apart at any moment.

This is Bucky the Clown's second form.

The evolved form of the Dark Master Piedmon—Ghost Maskmon.

"Impossible—" the redhead murmured, his hand holding Griffin's trembling.

"What is that thing—" Kaido's voice changed as well.

"It's a demon!" Im's face was more ashen than ever.

He has lived for eight hundred years and has seen all kinds of monsters.

But he had never seen anything like what was before him.

That can no longer be called a human being, it can't even be called a living being.

It was an abyss draped in a magnificent cloak, the ultimate terror that enveloped and devoured the world.

Then Bucky spoke, consciously adjusting his mindset for this moment: "Feel it!"

"This is rooted in demonic forces!"

"The most ferocious and evil ultimate power!"
