Chapter 64: Hasshoken

The main mast suddenly breaks and falls to the sea. It surprises everyone, so they all stop their battle and look at the broken mast.

Buggy looks at the broken part and sees ash surrounding it. Buggy smile because he knows that Jude is the one who caused it. She broke the mast slowly while defending herself from the exploding projectiles.

The main mast break and fall to the sea. Lin the sniper can jump to the ship and save herself. She runs on the fallen mast and Jude wants to catch her with her ash. But Lin throws a smoke bomb to hide and then disappears.

"That is not a devil fruit ability. She is trained in stealth," says Buggy.

Buggy can sense that Lin doesn't disappear instantly. She regulates her breath while run away to hide. Then her presence fade slowly. But now when Buggy knows about it, he still can sense her.

"Jude, I know where she is. Do you want me to help you?" asks Buggy.

"No, I will take care of this myself. Captain just need to focus on him," says Jude.

Buggy nod and focus on Ley again. Ley put his hands on the floor and crouch a little. Then he covers his head with haki and jumps Buggy headfirst at Buggy.

"Buto (Military Head)!" Ley says his technique's name.

Ley sends a headbutt at Buggy and Buggy gets ready to take it. Buggy gets into a stance and covers his right hand with haki. Then Buggy punch Ley's head and their clash create a booming sound.

They get into a stalemate, but then Buggy got pushed and fling back. He crashes into the railing and almost breaks it. Buggy then jumps to the left to evade Ley's headbutt.

Ley breaks the railing and rushes to headbutt Buggy again. Buggy evades again because Ley's headbutt is stronger than he thought. Ley uses his legs & hands to add more power to his headbutt.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to take my attacks head-on again?" asks Ley with a mocking tone.

"I should be the one who asks what's wrong with you? A tiger shouldn't be headbutting like a bull," says Buggy.

"What's wrong with that? Headbutt is one of the Hasshoken martial art techniques. My uncle got famous for his headbutt. Of course, before his head got pummeled by Garp," says Ley while still chasing Buggy.

"For someone who wants to take the Don position from your uncle, you sure are looking up to him."

"I always look up to him, but this is a new era. So Happo Navy needs to change too," says Ley.

"Heh, good thinking. Then, show me whether you can be a big figure in this era or not," says Buggy.

Buggy takes a distance and gets into a lower stance. He covers both his hands with haki until his shoulder and gets ready to fight Ley. Then Buggy cock both his hands back and open his palms.

Ley grins and rushes at Buggy with his headbutt again. Buggy slide his right foot back and thrust both his hands forward. He places the right hand on top, while the left hand below with the palm open.

"Counter Wave!" Buggy says his technique's name.

Buggy thrust his hands forward and detach them. The hands fly at fast speed toward Ley's headbutt. Then Buggy's hands clash with Ley's headbutt.

Hanji faints and Cricket pants while grinning before he also falls to the floor because of exhaustion. Cricket has won and become the first one to finish his battle.

Similar to Cricket, Mantis also has been able to starts using observation haki. After seeing Cricket's victory, she decides to finish her fight too.

Mantis now fully concentrated on her opponent. She can start to feel Yoko's intent and predict his movement. It's still a faint feeling, but she knows it's her observation haki.

Mantis then moves according to what she senses and dodge Yoko's vertical swing. She kicks Yoko's wrist and makes him lose grasp of his sword.

Yoko gets surprised and Mantis uses this chance to swing her metal bat upwards. Her metal bat hit Yoko's jaw and fling his head up.

Then Mantis kicks Yoko right on his solar plexus, makes him bend down. Her bat is still high in the air, so she swings it down right on Yoko's head and makes his head sunk to the floor.

Then she stomps his head down and makes him sink further. Mantis doesn't stop and keeps stomping Yoko's head until she's satisfied even when he has fainted.

As for Jude, she is troubled by Lin's stealth skill. Lin keeps moving around undetected by Jude and shoots her from many angles. But now Jude has found a way to find Lin.

Jude spread her ash particles very thinly on the air. She keeps spreading it until she finally feels someone moving among her ash particles. She immediately controls her remaining ash particles to grab that person, and she succeeds to grab Lin.

Jude smiles and quickly moves to defeat Lin. Lin might have another trick to escape again, after all. Jude tightens her ash that grabs Lin and suffocates Lin until she faints.

Buggy sees his crewmates have finished their battle, so he decides to finish his battle too. Ley has become angrier after his crewmates get defeated. His moves become more reckless and Buggy finds many weaknesses.

"A fighter needs to be clearheaded in his battle. What you're doing right now is not helping at all. Let's finish this here, I don't need an opponent that can't fight with their full power. You are not ready to be a big figure in this era," says Buggy.

Buggy unsheath Pollux and charge it with haki energy. Pollux glows white, then he swings Pollux diagonally toward Ley.

"Press Release: Slash!"

A white slashing arc flies toward Ley at high speed. Ley crosses his hands and covers his whole body with haki. The white slashing arc hits Ley and he tries to stop it, but he can't. Pollux's pressure power has made the slashing attack become very fast & powerful.

Ley gets pushed back and his haki can't defend the slash attack. He flung back to the second mast, crash to it and break it. He gets a massive cut wound and faints immediately.

Buggy sheath his sword and says, "Done."
