In the world of pirates, information was tightly controlled.
Most ordinary people could only learn about the outside world through newspapers.
And what the World Government wanted them to see…
was all they were allowed to see.
Only after the rise of the underground emperor Big News Morgans did newspapers begin to reveal fragments of the truth.
Even then—
When it came to bloody battlefields,
that "birdman" would gloss over everything in a single sentence.
Whitewashing the Marines…
was something he had done countless times.
For example—
When Shiki attacked Marineford,
the Marines suffered heavy casualties.
But the newspapers only reported the "good news":
That Monkey D. Garp and Sengoku had joined forces
to capture the legendary pirate.
Not a single word about Marine losses.
Thus—
The people of this world lived in an information cage.
The suffering brought by the Great Pirate Era was rarely shown—
A kind of "protection" for civilians.
But today—
The brutal images on the heavenly screen
completely shattered the false peace maintained by the World Government.
Even mentally strong adults couldn't endure it.
They vomited uncontrollably where they stood.
Children fainted in terror.
The scene became a lifelong nightmare—
a scar that would never heal.
The screen shifted again—
From a distant view…
to the battlefield of Iron Island.
A towering man, over four meters tall,
was fighting against a group of Marines clad in justice.
With exaggerated clown makeup—
And that unmistakable red nose—
Everyone immediately recognized him.
It was Buggy.
"You World Government dogs went back on your word—
abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea system!"
Buggy laughed madly.
"I've killed so many Marines…
why aren't you crying?!"
That chilling, twisted aura—
Was enough to make the weak lose all will to resist.
A Marine Vice Admiral roared:
"I'll make you pay with your life!!"
Blades infused with Armament Haki rained down on Buggy.
Another joined—
Sword slashes surged like waves.
"Die!!"
Meanwhile—
A female Vice Admiral, a Devil Fruit user, extended black, Haki-coated constructs toward Buggy—
Trying to restrain his body.
"If I hold him—he can't split!"
But—
"Chop-Chop…"
Centered on Buggy—
An invisible force exploded outward.
Sword strikes…
Haki…
Devil Fruit constructs…
Everything that approached him—
Was torn apart.
Even the island beneath his feet—
Was carved into deep, bottomless chasms.
"You're too weak."
Buggy sneered.
"If Admiral Smoker came in person,
I might take this seriously."
At this moment—
The Buggy on screen had clearly reached Admiral-level strength.
He wasn't fighting seriously at all.
A Vice Admiral realized the truth—
"His Devil Fruit… has awakened!"
Even advanced Haki—
Could barely resist his power.
And once their Haki ran out—
They were doomed.
"You Marines rely too much on Haki…"
Buggy said coldly.
"In front of a truly powerful Devil Fruit—
everything is meaningless."
"I can even tear apart the Haki inside your bodies."
Then—
He pointed forward.
"One-Part Disassembly."
The targeted Vice Admiral sensed danger—
His entire body was instantly coated in top-tier Armament Haki.
But—
It was useless.
His body—
Along with his blade—
Was split into pieces.
Haki, flesh, bone—
All destroyed.
He died without even leaving last words.
"BUGGY!!!"
Another Vice Admiral roared in rage.
"I'll avenge him!!"
He unleashed a desperate counterattack—
Transforming his hair into countless Haki-coated weapons.
A storm of blows rained down.
But—
Before even reaching Buggy—
Everything was torn apart.
"Boring."
Buggy kicked him.
Even with enhanced defense—
He was sent flying like a cannonball.
His body was impaled on a warship mast—
Blood pouring down.
Yet even then—
"I… can still fight…!"
Nearby—
Two female Marines stood together.
One smiled calmly in the face of death.
"I won't lie… I'm going to die here today."
The other raised her blade.
"I'll go with you."
Buggy looked at them with amusement.
"Want your powers to awaken?"
"Kill your companion… and serve me."
"Dream on."
"The Marines will never bow to pirates."
With resolve—
They charged forward together.
But Buggy only said:
"Too bad."
"Dual Disassembly."
The screen zoomed out—
The entire Iron Island—
Was instantly split apart.
The land shattered into fragments—
Most of it sinking into the sea.
No one could stop him.
Time passed—
From day… to dusk.
Then—
A figure arrived.
A man wreathed in smoke—
Rushing at extreme speed.
It was Admiral Smoker.
He landed on what remained of Iron Island—
Only to see…
what Buggy had left behind.
Two severed heads—
Belonging to Marine officers.
Their eyes wide open—
Tears of blood flowing.
Beside them—
A message, written in blood.
Using their arms as brushes…
Their blood as ink…
Buggy had left a note:
"Thank you, Mr. Smoker.
for helping me enter Impel Down."
"Love, Buggy "
With a crude smiling clown drawn beside it.
"BUGGY!!!"
Smoker collapsed to his knees.
Tears streamed down his face—
A man known for his iron will—
Now drowning in despair.
"I'll kill you…
I'll kill you!!"
The heavenly screen—
Captured it all.
And the entire world—
Felt his pain.
