The Clown Emperor Arc Vol 2

Captain Buggy vs Captain Apoo

Kid Buggy, Kid Shanks, Gaban, Rayleigh, Roger, Oden, and others danced around a fire singing “yo ho yo ho, a pirate’s life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me hearties’, yo ho.”

Later, Shanks calls up Buggy on the snail, “hey I met this really funny kid in the East Blue. You still around these waters?”

“Yeah, avoiding your punk ass. Don’t think you can just try to challenge me to a duel like we’re kids and you didn’t just fight Mihawk.”

“Wow, I guess everyone knows about that. But we haven’t seen each other since you got sick, remember? Maybe you’d like to share a drink.”

“Only if you’re bringing the rum dummy.”

Later,

“Where’s your damn hat!? Roger told you to keep that safe?”

“Only because he thought it would ruin your big nose.”

“Shut up, you were really his successor. You can’t hear the Voice of All Things but you’ll be the next Roger.”

“Oh you really are drunk.”

Now, flashes of moments in the past. Luffy tickling Buggy’s feet, Buggy trying to execute him, Buggy partying with Ace, Luffy handing over the bracelet to Buggy (Impel Down), Luffy and Buggy falling into Marineford, Teach shaking the island with Gura Gura, Shanks saving Coby and a final panel showing Buggy as the master of his enterprise.

Apoo said again, “every decision in your life led to you getting trumped by a monkey like me. Destiny!”

“I’m not destined for shit. My life’s a pirate’s life.”

“Oh I like that song! But who cares, retard?” Apoo held his hands to his mouth like a blow gun making a “fwoosh” sound blasting fire at Buggy. Buggy split around the fire and quickly flew behind Apoo. He grabbed the man and did a flying backdrop slamming Apoo’s head on the ground, “Trapeze Catapult”.

He floated away saying, “you’re right I’m a loser at some things but for my first year in the New World, me thinks building the biggest mercenary business turned Pirate Empire is pretty fucking winner.” Apoo played the piano teeth sending small sound ‘punches’ at Buggy. He then jumped up and made his arm into tuba. He blew into it blasting part of the mountain away. Buggy completely split up. His head said, “and what are you just jumping from Kidd to Kaido to Heyritten but a scared pussyboy? I can’t believe Kaido accepted you, I thought he liked dinosaurs.”

Apoo noticed an arm wielding knives was flying at him from the left. With a strum from his guitar arm, he sent the arm flying in another direction. Then suddenly, Buggy’s torso smacked into his face. Buggy continued to say, “you just sound jealous that I was named emperor although you’ve never shown you could do better. But guess what, I will take your Lodes and I’ll reach Raftel before Shanks ever does since he didn’t want to do it with me!”

“Good luck failing upwards then,” Apoo said grabbing the torso. Then he started drumming on it sending sound blasts at Buggy’s head. Apoo touched the ground and Buggy muttered finally.

“Bara Bara Carnival!” Apoo noticed Buggy’s feet were at opposite side of him. They fired muggy balls and Apoo was blown up. While the smoke climbed, Buggy’s hands started throwing knives down at every angle. Apoo looked up in complete surprised. He tried to close his mouth to make the metal sound but a piece of Buggy was in his mouth. Then with armament, he guarded himself although the knives still pierced him. Then Buggy’s blue cape wrapped around Apoo. Buggy reassembled behind Apoo and took a long saber out of his mouth. “And now the woman will be cut in half!” Buggy turned slashing across Apoo’s back.

Apoo fell on the ground with a disgruntled face. The cape returned to Buggy who stood over him, “thank you for prostrating to the Emperor” he said cheekily.

“Cacophony,” Apoo said sending a sonic wave blasting Buggy high into the air. The island vibrated. Mihawk stood up in shock, “he awakened his fruit.” Apoo stared at Buggy and said “Crush”. Buggy was crushed by force midair. “Slam”. Buggy was sent into the ground. “Cook” and Buggy burst into flames. “Sounds have a meaning with my fruit. For you, it will mean the end of your life.”

“If only I couldn’t hear you,” flaming Buggy said plugging his ears.

“Shock” although no electricity passed. Apoo looked at Buggy and realized, “you just learned that I guess but it doesn’t save you. I’ll just augment myself with sound.” He picked up Buggy and held back his right arm. “Roaring Wukong”, he punched but Buggy used Bara Bara Escape to completely dissemble. The entire mountain in front of Apoo was shattered apart.

Buggy reassembled in the air. “Shit I’ve got to really cheat to kill him. The treasure’s coming in and the ship is right there. Time to bullshit, gyahahaha.” He glided down toward Apoo. Apoo sent another Roaring Wukong that damaged Buggy. Buggy fell to the rubble of the mountain and Apoo followed. Buggy reawakened and fired both his arms at Apoo, “Javelin”. Apoo caught one arm that wiggled a feather under his nose. He opened his mouth and the other hand placed a muggy bomb inside. Then he sneezed sending a large sound blast and exploding his insides. Buggy’s hands returned thumbs up. Apoo was still standing there toothless and furious. Buggy’s thumbs dropped.
