Chapter 17: He is the ‘Bald Devil’!
Chapter 17: He is the ‘Bald Devil’!
Saitama eyed Buggy with a bored expression. You talk too much, he said bluntly. All this bluster, but youre really just a weakling.
Buggys face twisted in fury. What? How dare you! Ill have you know that Im the greatest pirate in the New World. You have no idea of the terror and power that we pirates wield!
Saitama raised an eyebrow. Is that so? Well, forgive me for not being impressed by a man who wears a clown nose and cape.
Buggys anger turned to indignation. This isnt a clown nose, its a symbol of my strength! And this capewell, its just cool, okay?
Saitama blinked, unimpressed by Buggys theatrics. Okay, he said simply.
Buggy scowled, frustrated by Saitamas nonchalant attitude.
Suddenly, his hands detached from his arms and flew towards Saitama, brandishing knives.
Stop ignoring me, you silly face! he yelled. Your face just makes me so angry! Im going to cut you open from the stomach out!
As Buggys crew caught sight of their captains Bara Bara ability, they erupted into raucous cheers of excitement. Ahh! There he is! Captain Buggy and his amazing Bara Bara power!
Bara Bara?! Saitama exclaimed, surprised.
Despite the rumors of Devil Fruits being ubiquitous on the Grand Line, he had not encountered anyone with such abilities during his travels in the East Blue for quite some time. I never thought Id come across someone with that kind of power in this town. Its truly a rarity.
Hahaha Fear not, baldy! Your time has come to an end! Buggy taunted, cackling wildly when he saw Saitama standing there.
Thanks to my Bara Bara no Mi fruit, I have the ability to split my body into pieces. No attack can harm me! Even the great Dracule Mihawk couldnt defeat me! And dealing with a novice like you is even more enjoyable for me! Iiiiii-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha
Ugh This clown is even more annoying than Garp! Saitama muttered under his breath before shouting at Buggy. Hey, you! What are you blabbering about?
As the knife was about to pierce Saitamas abdomen, he stared blankly ahead and swiftly slapped the two severed hands onto the ground. How can some Devil Fruit power outweigh the strength Ive gained through my own training? he muttered to himself.
As Buggys arms returned to his body, he blew on them to alleviate the pain. Ouch Ouch Ouch That hurts! he exclaimed indignantly before turning his attention to Saitama. You were lucky to stop my attack earlier, but it wont work again! Good luck trying to stop this one Bara Bara Ho Kirihanashi!
With those words, Buggy readied himself for his next attack, grasping four knives in his hands.
Suddenly, while staring at Saitama, Buggys Chief of Staff, Cabaji, felt a sense of suspicion wash over him. His memory was jolted and he quickly shouted out, I know this guy!!!
Cabaji hurriedly stopped Buggy in his tracks and exclaimed with horror, Wait a minute, Captain Buggy! I remember reading about this man in the newspaper! If Im not mistaken, hes the Commodore stationed in Loguetown Hes Sai Sai Saitama, the Bald Devil!!!!
What?! Everyone present was stunned.
They couldnt believe that the naked man before them, who was cleaning his nose, was none other than the infamous Bald Devil.
In the present day, the pirates of the East Blue had all heard of the Bald Devil!
He was known as the fearsome demon who showed no mercy to any pirate, no matter how powerful they were. They would be defeated with a single blow!
Cabaji whispered in horror, How How could a monster like that end up in a small place like this!
Wait This guy is the Bald Devil?!!! Buggy exclaimed in terror.
His tongue stretched out in fright and his eyes were about to pop out of his head. The reason why he had been staying in this remote area was to avoid encountering this monster from Loguetown.
Damn! Even here, I cant escape this kind of monster Buggy cursed under his breath, unsure if he should continue fighting or make a run for it.
He took a closer look at Saitamas face and felt a bit unsettled. This guy with his blank expression and indifferent attitude
As a former member of the notorious Rogers crew, he had encountered countless tough guys. But never before had he come face to face with someone quite like this. He hesitated for a moment, realizing that if he showed fear in front of his crew, hed lose their respect forever.
Ha! Ill bet my bottom beli that I can take this guy down with my bare fists. I just need to be careful and avoid any sneaky tricks. But hold on a second, hes a Commodore, so he must have some fancy moves up his sleeve. This could get interesting!
Buggy approached Saitama hesitantly, waving a hand to get his attention.
Hey there, sorry to interrupt, but I just gotta know have you ever had any training in combat or some secret devil fruit power or something? he asked, eyes wide with curiosity.
Saitamas expression didnt budge, his eyes resembling a pair of dead fish.
No, he replied flatly.
Buggys face lit up with excitement. Ha! Thats perfect! he exclaimed, before lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. He said hes not gonna be aggressive!
Feeling overconfident, Buggy ignored Cabajis warning and launched his attack.
Suddenly, his body split into countless pieces and flew towards Saitama.
Ha ha ha! You cant stop this, Baldy! Buggy taunted.
His innumerable pieces swirled around Saitama, each one poised to attack. My body may be in pieces, but its still a force to be reckoned with! Theres no way you can escape my deadly grasp, y!
Before Buggy could finish his sentence, a sudden and powerful fist slammed into his head, driving him deep into the ground with a sickening crunch. His once-smiling face was now grotesquely deformed.
Youre pretty weak, Red Nose, Saitama remarked as he crouched down in front of Buggys battered head. I mean, why would you split up a weak body into even weaker pieces? Thats just asking for trouble, dude.
Buggys head floated out of the hole in the ground, ignoring the blood streaming down his face.
Youyou bastard! he seethed. How dare you mock the nose that Im so proud of! Youll regret this Ill make sure your death is nothing short of beautiful!
Just as Buggy was about to finish his threat, a hand appeared behind Saitama, holding a glinting knife.
A flicker of unease passed over Saitama, but in the next instant, he had grabbed Buggys hand and crushed the knife with ease. It was clear that Buggys desperate move had failed to make any impact on the powerful hero.
Well, its done, Saitama said as he scooped up the swashbucklers head with his other hand and rose to his feet. Ill leave it to Bulin to take you to Impel Down. Youve got some time to reflect on your actions.
ImpImpImpel Down?! Buggys expression turned from panic to rage as he was grabbed by the head.
Stop mocking me, you damned marine! Release me! Im the greatest pirate in the East Blue! How dare you humiliate me like this! Ill kill you, and then Ill raze this entire town to the ground! But before he could finish his threats, a scream pierced the air.
Saitama turned to see Buggy stabbing an old man in the abdomen with a knife in his other hand.
Iiiii-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! Buggy cackled uncontrollably.
Bald Devil! Youre a marine, arent you? he sneered.
Now, what are you going to do? If you so much as twitch, Ill finish this old man off! His death will be on your hands! Youre a Commodore, right? Lets see you try something Come on, fake hero!
