After Enel destroyed the Cipher Pol agents, the Marines fall into despair once again. But now they put up more fights than before. They are more desperate now, after all. The only ones who can save them now are themselves. So they need to fight with everything they have if they want to survive.
Buggy grins seeing the Marines getting much more serious now. It will be too boring if they don't fight seriously and just give up before this war is over. After all, Buggy actually respects the Marine while he despises the Cipher Pol.
Marine is needed in this world because without them, this world will fall into chaos. As for Cipher Pol, they are nothing but Celestial Dragon's dogs that will do everything for Celestial Dragon, even if it means killing innocents. Well, the Marine also has people who will act like that, but there are more people who truly work for justice.
Meanwhile, Cipher Pol agents are trained to be heartless and only obey orders from World Government. That's why Buggy doesn't hesitate to kill Cipher Pol agents while he prefers to not kill Marines. So far in this war, Clown Pirates haven't killed any marine soldiers and at most, they only hurt the Marines badly.
Clown Pirates have a true objective in this war, which is to stall time and gather the world's attention on them. They even made Big Mom Pirates come here. Everything is just their plan to make this war the center of attention.
Buggy fights against the 3 Admirals without showing his full power also because he wants to stall time. He endures the 3 Admirals' joint attacks and doesn't fight using his devil fruit ability. He fights against 3 monsters and gathers attention on himself.
Fujitora's gravity is suppressing him, but he can still move rather freely even under strong gravity. Rather than him, it's the ground of Marineford that has a hard time enduring Fujitora's gravity. Furthermore, Kizaru's and Aokiji's attacks are damaging the ground that was sturdy enough to endure Whitebeard's power.
Buggy blocks Aokiji's black ice saber that is coated with advanced armament. Kizaru tries to attack from behind, but Buggy swings his sword horizontally. A very powerful blackened slash attack flies toward Kizaru who can't evade it because it will hit his men if he dodges.
Kizaru blocks it using his light sword and gets pushed quite far. Buggy's flying slash attack is on the same level as Mihawk's attack that Jozu took. Jozu could block it because he used his diamond power and Mihawk attacked from afar. But Kizaru takes it from a very close distance, so he takes the attack's full power, which is enough to push him quite far.
While Kizaru is occupied with that attack, Buggy sends the same attack at Aokiji whose only option is also blocking it like Kizaru. Then Buggy also sends the same attack at Fujitora. He just spams powerful attacks like nothing, showing how powerful he is.
Just 1 man is powerful enough to push the 3 Admirals. Then just like Jozu, the 3 Admirals throw the flying slash attacks to the sky because they can't break those attacks. Their weapons almost break too, that's why they threw the attack quickly.
Buggy's attack is more destructive than Mihawk's attack, after all. It's because he coated it with advanced armament and conqueror haki, making it more destructive even with similar power. Also, all 3 types of Buggy's haki are one of the best in the world that even scared someone of Oden's caliber.
Buggy's haki power surprised not just the Admirals, but also all 3 Emperors and other powerful people present. Only his crewmates are not surprised by it because they've seen Buggy's growth since he was just a rookie. Even so, they are still speechless by his monstrous growth even though they've witnessed it themselves.
But they also know that all of it is the result of Buggy's discipline. He worked harder and smarter than anyone else. It inspired his crewmates which resulted in their current level of power. He is the one who made this crew become this powerful, and that's why everyone in his crew is very loyal to him.
Now, they are following his order to wreak havoc on Marineford. Other crews might hesitate to do the same thing as them knowing they will go against 3 Emperors and Marine, or maybe the whole world. But the Clowns do what Buggy ordered without questioning his motive.
Buggy told them his reason though because they deserve to know his grand plan. Their purpose in interrupting this war is to give Revolutionary Army time. Right now, Dragon and co are attacking Marie Geoise to free the slaves there after the Cipher Pol agents left.
At first, Dragon was reluctant when Buggy asked him to attack Marie Geoise because his group already has their plan. But Buggy managed to convince him because Buggy contacted Dragon after the news of Ace's execution spread.
Buggy told Dragon that the war between Whitebeard Pirates and Marines was unavoidable. The world's attention would shift there and Buggy would make it even more eye-catching. He would force the World Government to send all available troops out of Marie Goise, and he succeeds to make thousands of Cipher Pol agents left Marie Geoise to assist the Marines.
Although there are still guards and agents left on Marie Geoise, their number has been lowered, so it would make infiltration easier. With Morley's power, it would be very easy to kidnap the slaves. Also, they have Fisher Tiger, someone who has experience freeing slaves in Marie Geoise.
Furthermore, Buggy sent Heart Pirates to assist them. Law's power will be very helpful to release the slaves. He can take out their explosive collar without hurting them using his 'Shambles'. The current Law is stronger than himself in the series, even after the time skip. But he hid his power as Buggy asked to not gain too much attention on his crew that hasn't grown powerful enough.
Other than Law, Lami's power will also help them a lot. Buggy gave her a devil fruit that she asked herself. Her devil fruit is Sleep Sleep Fruit, which grants her the ability to make her targets sleep. It is very useful to make surgery patients sleep without the use of anesthetics, that's why she asked for this fruit because she wanted to help her brother.
Of course, people with powerful will won't succumb to her sleep attack easily. But doing it for the slaves and the undisciplined Celestial Dragons. She can put most people in Marie Geoise to sleep, making their infiltration much easier.
Buggy doesn't just send Heart Pirates, he also sent Wano Country's ninjas to help. Without Kaido ruling Wano, the country now has a lot of strong people. That includes ninjas that were raised to specialize more in infiltration rather than battle because their main task is gathering information.
The plan to free the slaves goes fairly well because the war in Marineford has gathered the 5 elders' attention. Also, they have scouted the unholy city previously. Buggy wanted to send the ninjas, but Revolutionary Army actually has planted some spies there, which made Buggy impressed.
With such information and upgraded Marineford war level of distraction, it would be very shameful if the plan doesn't go well. Buggy will beat up Dragon himself if this plan doesn't work. But luckily, the groups that infiltrate Marie Goise do their work nicely.
They move fast while hiding themselves to free every slave they can find. It will be difficult to save every slave in Marie Goise, but they will save as many as they can. The defense in Marie Geoise has dropped since a lot of Cipher Pol agents were sent to Marineford, so they can move more freely now.
Using Morley's power, they move underground and pop out under their targets. Lami will put anyone they find to sleep be they enemies or slaves. They don't want to create any commotion even if it's just a little, so they put everyone to sleep.
Law will use his power to take out the explosive collars from the slaves' necks. But he doesn't just take the collars out, he puts them on the Celestial Dragons' and the Guards' necks and limbs till full. They were worried that the collars would explode right after Law took them out, but they didn't.
Probably it's because the collars are attached to new targets immediately. If the collars explode, then they will be found, which isn't a good thing. They were prepared to move under such conditions, but it's always better to have more lenience.
Their plan proceeds smoothly, at least until they get closer to the palace. The defense gets tighter as they get closer to the palace and the risk of being found gets higher. Even so, they can't back off now, so they send the already-freed slaves down the Red Line onto their ships below first.
What made the groups very wary is that even the ninjas and Revolutionary Army's spies don't dare to enter the palace. Some spies have tried to infiltrate it in the past, but they never returned. It shows just how tight the security in the castle is.
Luckily for them, they don't really need to infiltrate the palace. Based on the information they have, there is no slave in the palace. It is claimed as a sacred place, so 'filths' like slaves are not allowed to step foot there.
Well, surely the main reason is because the leaders here don't want to risk anything. So only trustworthy personnel are allowed to enter the palace. This place has a lot of secrets and valuable things, so it needs to be very safe.
"Let's check every building other than the palace quickly and return. They will realize our attack soon, so we don't have much time. Sorry, Law, Lami, you must be exhausted, but we don't have much time."
"Don't worry, we can handle this much."
Dragon nods and they resume their plan. Then just like what Dragon predicted, they are discovered by the enemies after a while.
