74: Chapter 74: The Bucky Bomb! Close-Range ExplosionThe laughter of the Buggy Pirates abruptly ceased.All the pirates stared as if they had seen a ghost, their gazes shifting between Luffy in the cage and Luffy in the tent, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Wait.how come there are two Straw Hat Boys?"
"Is it.is it an illusion?"
"Which one is real?"
Seeing that the main body had appeared, the shadow clone that had been released when the Bucky missile was launched smiled and disappeared with a "bang" in a puff of smoke.
Inside the tent, "Luffy" wiped his greasy mouth with a grin, as if the "Gum-Gum Pistol" that saved Zoro was just a casual gesture.
He looked at the severed hand that had been knocked away and was now trembling as it floated back near Bucky's "body," and at Bucky's face, which was even more distorted from the failed sneak attack.
He spoke loudly in his unique, somewhat naive yet extremely irritating tone:
"Hey!Big Nose!Attacking from behind.that's really despicable—!"
The words "Big Nose" seemed to possess a magical power, instantly plunging the previously chaotic and noisy hall, which had been filled with "two Luffys," into a deathly silence!
Nami's eyes widened in horror as she looked at Luffy inside the tent.Cold sweat poured down her back, and she screamed inwardly:
'Idiot!You can't say that!'
Just imagine how sensitive and furious Bucky is about the word "big nose"!
The pirates collectively gasped, their bodies instantly drenched in cold sweat.Their mouths gaped open, frozen in place as if petrified, their eyes darting back and forth between Luffy and their captain inside the tent, not daring to even breathe.
Sure enough—Bucky glared furiously, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, and blood vessels instantly filled the air!
The muscles in his face twitched violently, and his clown-faced features became incredibly ferocious and terrifying due to extreme anger!
He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, his voice seeming to be squeezed from the depths of hell, carrying a chilling killing intent:
"You.you said.who.is.Big.Nose."
"boom--!"
Before he could finish speaking, Bucky's anger exploded!
He didn't even care about his right hand, which had just returned to its place.He was like a mad cat whose tail had been stepped on.He brandished the short swords in both hands and charged madly towards Luffy in the tent with overwhelming killing intent!
"I'm going to tear all three of you to pieces here—spectacularly!"
"Who wants to die here?"
Inside the tent, Luffy was still all smiles, even managing to shout to Zoro, "Go for it, Zoro!This guy's yours!"
Although Zoro was slightly taken aback by the sight of "two Luffys" before him, his fighting instincts made him react instantly.
He shifted his stance, his figure flashing like a ghost, precisely intercepting Bucky's furious charge; three knives gleamed coldly.
"Hey, Red-Nosed Monster, your opponent.is me!"
"Get out of here—!"
Buggy roared, wildly swinging his arms, and several short swords stabbed at Zoro like a storm!
Jingle bells!
A series of rapid and intense metallic clanging sounds erupted!Sparks flew everywhere!
Zoro wielded his three swords with impenetrable skill, easily deflecting all of Buggy's attacks.
Bucky's attack, though seemingly insane, was actually full of flaws!
"The flaw is too great!"
Zoro's eyes flashed, and seizing the moment when Buggy couldn't retract his sword in time, the blade flashed again like lightning!
Pfft—!
Exactly the same as before!
Bucky's body was cleanly and neatly cut in half again, with his upper body and lower body separated!
"It's useless!It's useless!Fufufu!"
Bucky's upper body, severed in two, floated in the air, showing no pain but instead letting out a triumphant screech, "I'm invincible no matter how much I'm cut—!"
Under Zoro's slightly furrowed brows, Buggy's two severed halves of his body were attracted by a magnet and quickly glued back together, leaving not a single scar!
Buggy, hands on his hips, announced smugly, "Listen up, you green-haired moss!'Chop-Chop Fruit'—that's the name of the Devil Fruit I ate!"
He arrogantly pointed at himself, "I am.the 'Four-in-a-Row Man' who can't be killed no matter how much you cut me!"
"Fufufufu!Your three-sword style is.useless against me, you idiot—!"
He expected to see shock and despair on Zoro's face.
However, Zoro just stared at him expressionlessly, as if he were thinking about something.
Suddenly, Zoro's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.He looked in horror towards the direction behind Buggy and shouted, "Oh no!"
Then.without hesitation, he turned and ran!He was incredibly fast!He even seemed to be fleeing for his life!
"Hello?"
Buggy's smug smile froze on his face.Taken aback by Zoro's sudden and uncooperative reaction, he erupted in fury, "You bastard?Listen to me properly—!"
But just then, a heavy, metallic thud came from behind him!
At the same time, he noticed that his men, who had been laughing or terrified, now all had expressions of extreme fear on their faces!
Their mouths gaped open, their fingers trembling as they pointed behind Bucky, as if they had seen something more terrifying than a demon!
A chilling premonition suddenly washed over Bucky!He stiffly, slowly, turned around.
Then, he saw a scene that terrified him:
That heavy cannon, loaded with specially made Pakistani shells, had somehow.had its muzzle turned around!
The dark, deathly cannon barrel was now.aimed precisely at them—Bar.The location of the Kaito Pirates!
Behind the cannon.was Luffy, wearing a straw hat, who had somehow slipped by; Nami, sticking out her tongue and awkwardly greeting them; and.Zoro, the green-haired swordsman who had just pretended to run away in terror but had actually gone to rejoin them!
The three stood together.Luffy was holding the fuse that Nami had smothered and burned down to a small piece in his hand, and a new, freshly lit match in his other hand.
Nami stood to the side, a sly and smug smile on her face, as if she had gotten her revenge.She even playfully waved to Buggy and his terrified henchmen, mouthing "goodbye."
Zoro crossed his arms, looking on with a "let's watch the show" expression.
Luffy looked at Buggy, who had turned around and turned pale, and gave him a bright smile that made Buggy feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
