Chapter 177: Chapter 178: Defeat Crumbles Like a Mountain! Buggy wailed in pain. In an instant, his previously unscathed body was covered in severe wounds. The air vibrated with rippling shockwaves one after another, as if ten thousand people were beating gongs and drums beside him. "Ora ora ora ora!" In the center of the battlefield, stormy waves spread in all directions. The surrounding pirates were already dumbfounded, their eyes wide open one by one. ’What level of battle is this, to create such an immense deterrent!’ It is not an exaggeration to say that Star Platinum alone, just with his fists, created the momentum of a thousand troops and horses. "Stop it now!" In the crowd, a massive lion suddenly let out a sky-shaking roar and leapt over everyone’s heads with wild strides. Its blood-filled mouth opened wide, and its sharp fangs gleamed with a cold glint. Teeth sharp as saw blades that could even easily bite through steel! "So awesome! It’s Vice Captain Mohji!" The pirate crew members, upon seeing the man on the lion’s back clearly, showed delighted expressions. Hearing the roar, Jotaro slightly turned his head. What he saw was a lion whose size could compare to a large truck. Having witnessed Sea Kings before, seeing such unreasonable animals again didn’t surprise him. According to the explanation in his understanding, he leaned more toward believing that this world contains a special kind of radiation. Under the influence of this radiation, the world gave birth to so many supernatural phenomena. This radiation can also affect the human body. The ordinary townspeople in Orange Town had physical qualities equivalent to A-rated ghouls. If not for this, how could humans survive in such a peril-filled environment? As for Buggy, a pirate with a bounty of fifteen million Berries, and aided by a Devil Fruit, his physical strength might not be inferior to the current Jotaro. Jotaro had trained Haki hard in the ghoul world and could only be said to stand at the starting line of this world. However, he possessed an ability far beyond this world’s starting line, Stand! An animal’s instincts are extremely sharp. Jotaro’s indifferent glance sent a chill down the lion’s spine, as if it had met a natural predator. "Richie! What are you doing!" Mohji was shocked to the extreme. The lion suddenly stopped, braked hard, and almost flung him from its back. He barely stabilized himself, then realized that the companion beneath his crotch was shivering in abnormal fear. "Awuu~" Richie let out a series of cautious low growls, but its paws didn’t dare take another step forward. "What are you waiting for! Mohji! Hurry and save me!" Buggy, lying on the ground limp and powerless, saw his subordinates hesitating and angrily shouted. "Captain Buggy, I’m coming right away!" With no other option, Mohji pulled out his whip and fiercely lashed it on the lion. "Bite him to death!" Pain can ignite the bloodthirst of a beast. Under Mohji’s whipping and urging, Richie lost its reason, eyes turning blood-red, and pounced toward Jotaro with its claws swinging. At the same time, a dark figure flashed from Mohji’s side. "It’s the strategist, Lord Cabaji! He’s returned too!" "Awesome, we’re saved!" With the appearance of Buggy’s two major generals, the surrounding pirates felt like they’d taken a calming pill. However, in the next second, their optimistic smiles froze on their faces, as if they’d become ice sculptures. Cabaji, sly and despicable, took advantage of Jotaro’s attention being drawn to Mohji, and hunched his body to launch a sneak attack from behind. But for this kind of sneak attack, Jotaro won’t be caught off guard twice in a row. "Ora!" Star Platinum’s swift punch struck Cabaji’s face. Even the air trembled slightly. Cabaji’s eyes rolled up instantly, and his entire body flew out like a fired cannonball, precisely hitting Mohji on the lion’s back. Mohji’s pupils shrank; he had no time to react. In the next second, the two vanished from the crowd’s sight, leaving only the lion Richie to face Jotaro alone. It widened its blood-red eyes and swung its sharp claws in the air. But the moment it met Jotaro’s indifferent gaze, cold sweat broke out across its lion head, and it immediately landed on the ground. Its eyes instantly regained clarity. The jaws of the surrounding pirates were almost dropping to the floor. ’Is this still the fierce lion Richie? Why does it look like a puppy now.’ "Yare yare~" Jotaro slightly pressed down his hat and looked at the lion lying on the ground, exposing its belly to him, and said calmly, "Animals that fall into fear will show their bellies to indicate surrender." "You want me to spare you?" Richie stuck out its tongue and nodded frantically. Jotaro’s icy gaze swept across its body, and finally his eyes slowly closed. These were pirates who had seized other people’s land and property and treated human lives like grass. Each one of them was probably stained with blood. How could he let them go? "What you’ve done has already exceeded the boundaries animals should abide by!" Jotaro delivered the judgment in a cold voice. "Unforgivable!" "Ora ora ora ora ora!" Star Platinum’s fists rained down on the lion’s body, rendering it completely incapable of moving. The surrounding pirates were as silent as cicadas in late autumn, not daring to breathe loudly. "Get off this island!" At the moment Jotaro raised his hand, these people were almost scared out of their souls. "If you dare commit evil again next time, I’ll kill you!" The pirates cowered, and some of them were already thinking of going home to find their mothers. After Jotaro entered Orange Town, the mayor Boodle also quietly sneaked in alone. He came to feed the pet dog of an old friend and gather information about Jotaro. However, he didn’t expect to witness such a shocking scene. That youth in green actually defeated the entire Buggy Pirate Crew all by himself. Trapped in enemy lines alone, and yet those pirates didn’t dare to move recklessly. Who had really surrounded whom? If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. His precious town had been taken back. But just as he was about to rejoice, an accident happened. "Ah!!!" A sharp scream suddenly rang out from behind the crowd, Buggy, dragging his blood-covered body, grabbed Nami by the neck. After the scream, she immediately felt suffocated. Her cheeks flushed with a strange red. "Hahahaha..." Buggy laughed wildly to the sky and said viciously, "Let us leave this town? What a joke!" "If you don’t want your subordinate to die, then obediently follow my orders." "Stand where you are and don’t move. Otherwise, I’ll kill her right now." Jotaro turned a deaf ear and directly walked toward Buggy. "Why should I listen to you?" "You... What are you doing? Don’t you care whether your subordinate lives or dies?!" Buggy shouted in fear. His entire skeleton was likely shattered. The only reason he could still move was because of his Devil Fruit ability. He was already at the end of his rope, completely incapable of countering Jotaro. Nami half-closed her eyes, her breathing growing weaker and weaker. She smiled sorrowfully and said, "Useless... The identity of a subordinate... was something I made up... He... can’t possibly... care about... my life..." "What?!" Buggy roared, "You thief tricked me again!" Having been toyed with by Nami repeatedly, his rage was already boiling. "I’m going to kill you to vent my anger!" He increased the force in his hand, seemingly trying to snap Nami’s neck. "Ugh ugh..." Nami groaned in pain, her hands tightly clutching Buggy’s wrist. She didn’t want to die yet. "Star Platinum!"
