Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 464: King of Gods



Chapter 464: King of Gods

After Buggy nuked it, Marie Geoise has finally gone completely from the face of this world. Only some charred ruins left from the great city that no one thought would ever fall.

The attacks were too fast that no one had the chance to defend. Buggy never intended to give them any chance to retaliate, after all. He doesn't want to play around in this serious war because he knows the more he plays around, the lower his chance of winning would be.

Right now, he truly believes that he made the right decision because on the destroyed city, some people are still alive. His atomic bombs were very powerful that even he didn't dare to take them directly. But these guys took the blast head-on and survived.

"Wow, I am really impressed right now. To think that you guys are still alive after that, it's really beyond my expectation. No wonder the World Government could rule for more than 800 years and hasn't fallen till this day."

Buggy grins while looking at the figures standing on the charred and destroyed red ground. He never saw them personally, but he knew them from the reports his spies on Marie Geoise sent frequently. His spies on Marie Geoise were very skillful that they could get a lot of very secretive information in the most secure city.

Looking at these figures makes even Buggy feels rather nervous. Well, only one of them makes him feel wary though, but for someone at his level to feel that must mean that this person is really dangerous. He is the world's strongest man, after all. Yet he feels like that.

Buggy looks at the group of people before shifting his attention elsewhere. He can feel the weak presence of lives on the edges of the destroyed city. There are 2 weak presences that can disappear at any time, but they still surprise Buggy.

These 2 weak presences are of the elders. The 5 of them received the explosions directly, yet 2 of them actually survived. Though they are barely alive and their lives are hanging by threads now as they lay on the ground with only their heads and body left in very bad shape.

These 2 are Shepher Ju Peter and Topman Warcury. They are barely alive and it's just a matter of time before they died because they only have their burnt body and heads now. Their breaths are weakened gradually, so they'll follow their 3 comrades soon.

The 5 of them activated their mysterious mythical zoan devil fruits right when the atomic bombs explode. Those 5 also use haki, but the explosions were too powerful. 3 of them died in the explosions while the 2 survived, but their conditions are worse than death.

Even though it's not the best outcome, this is still what Buggy wanted by exploding the bombs right beside the 5 elders. He isn't some idiot main character who will let their enemies use their full power unless he has the confidence to take them down.

Sure, Buggy did it many times in the past to boost his growth, but he always made sure he had a good winning chance or at least a high survival rate. Furthermore, most of those hard battles in the past were unavoidable and sometimes he wasn't the one who started them.

Now, he is the one who initiated this and his only goal in this war is victory. He doesn't have the luxury to play around in this world-changing plan. What he needs now is just a result, nothing else. He only wants to destroy the World Nobles, that's all.

The 5 elders were too big of variables in this plan of his. That's why he was very happy when they appeared in front of him and targeted them immediately. He even changed his plan to explode the bombs in the center of the city to the center of the 5 elders just to kill them all.

That's why he is surprised that there are still 2 of them alive now. Luckily, they are already beyond saving by now with their conditions. Someone like Vegapunk might be able to do something if he acts fast, but that won't happen because no one will be able to even bother about them now.

But Buggy doesn't want to give them a chance at all no matter how small it is. He glances at Maverick and the 3-eyed man understands what Buggy wants immediately. Without making any signs, Maverick shoots the 2 dying elders using his sniper rifle.

Maverick shoots from a hidden spot and his shots don't make any sound because his gun doesn't use gunpowder. It uses electricity as it is a railgun sniper rifle. It is soundless and has a much longer range than conventional sniper rifles that use gunpowder.

The 2 dying elders get shot in the head and die instantly. No one of the remaining enemies even realizes the shot. But they are keeping tabs on the 2 dying elders' lives, so they are really surprised when they can't sense the 2's lives again.

"The 5 of them were really close, weren't they? Always together in life and death, how touching."

Buggy grins while looking at the remaining enemies who survived the devastating atomic bombs. He already knows who these people are from all the reports he gets from his spies on Marie Geoise. Most of them are characters he never even knew before being sent to this world.

Commander-in-Chief Kong, Supreme Commander of God's Knights Figarland Garling along with 5 surviving God's Knights, and the Chief of Cipher Pol. All of them managed to survive the bombs even though they are badly injured, especially the 5 God's Knights that have horrifying injuries now.

Though none of them are threats in Buggy's eyes now that they are injured badly. The one that makes Buggy really wary is the last person who doesn't even have a scratch. This person is the biggest reason why Buggy didn't want to give the enemies any chance and just nuked them as soon as the city fell.

"So you are that hidden King of Gods, Imu."

Yes, the one that makes Buggy really wary now is Imu. He never saw Imu even in the reports because his spies couldn't get a lot of info about this guy. They only knew that there is someone above even the 5 elders by the name of Imu.

Buggy always wondered how Imu looks and now he can finally see it. Imu's appearance is that of a handsome young teenager with a majestic face befitting that of a King. He has long black hair, wearing a long golden cloak, and has a pair of red eyes that look down upon the world.

"Vaas Saint Imu of House Nerona, is that your identity?"

Imu's hostile face immediately gets even more hostile as the God's Knights draw their weapons.

"Filthy Pirate, don't ask something beyond your worth."

"Pfft, HAHAHAHA! Why? Is it because I'm not a D? Because I'm not the descendant of those who opposed you guys in the past, so I don't have any right to know more? HAHAHA! It seems you really value that name despite hating it. But you know, in the end, that is just a name. People's values aren't determined by their names or bloodline as you always tried to believe."

Imu still looks down at Buggy despite standing on lower ground. He doesn't care about anything that Buggy believed because for Imu, everything in this world is his. Everyone should bow down to him no matter who.

"Ah, come to think of it, you guys are afraid of a legend, right? The warrior who will free the people from your rule or something, I think? I can't remember correctly, but that should be the gist of it. A legend, or should I say a prophecy of a being that will free this world from your hands. Then, there are Ancient Weapons too. Actually, there are some things that are implying your end. Well, I know clearly that none of them are pointing toward me though."

"What's your point?"

Imu is very displeased by how Buggy keeps rambling, but he still listens as he is curious about what Buggy really wants to convey.

"Hmm, the point is none of the things you have been thinking for the last 800 years matter anymore. All those prophecies you heard for centuries, all of them will be proved wrong because the one who will destroy your reign isn't Joy Boy, it will be me and my crew. After all, I am not someone who will rely my future on others and will craft it myself."

"Many have tried like you and they always talked big. But none of them succeeded. Every single one of them died, forgotten in the passage of time. Even that so-called prophecy will be nothing but a tale, just like you."

The sky rumbles as the clouds get darker rapidly while Buggy & Imu talk. Imu just looks at Buggy with disdain, but the anger in his eyes is very clear. Everything that Buggy said is straight looking down on him, after all.

"Tale, huh? Then I'll make my tale spread all over the world and people will remember it forever. You guys will be no more than side characters that only appear to glorify my tale. Prophecy, fate, authority, bloodline, everything you think highly of will be destroyed by me."

Buggy suddenly swings his sword to the sky, but nothing appears from that swing. No energy blades, no ripples, no visible sign of power. But the next thing they know, the sky and dark cloud split cleanly as a massive object that has been cut in half falls from the splitting sky.

"Trying to sneak attack me? No chance, bitch."

P.S: Imu's appearance and gender is just an imagination of mine, alright? Even the power he'll show is just something I personally think. So don't get too worked up guys, lol, kidding guys.
