RBTC: Chapter 77

---

As the two forces collided, Buggy's Haki was the one that fell behind. He had only awakened Haki recently, and facing such a massive amount of energy, he couldn't compete.

After the collision, Buggy's Haki started to retreat, and the dozens of energies pressed towards Buggy.

But Buggy's face didn't show any worry. Instead, a smile appeared.

This was because he discovered that after the collision, although his Haki was falling behind, it seemed to be improving and growing during the confrontation. And its quality seemed to have been refined, as if impurities were being removed, making his Haki more pure.

Buggy didn't understand what was happening with this effect, but it was undoubtedly a very good result. Not only was it increasing his Haki, which couldn't be improved with external force and had to be accumulated over time, but it was also improving its quality.

Buggy had some guesses. Haki was originally an energy hidden within the human body. It might also contain a person's character or various personalities and emotions.

And the dozens of energies he was currently confronting were formed by these human characteristics. This might be the reason why Haki could confront these dozens of energies.

In the confrontation between the two, perhaps it absorbed some substance, which caused Haki to improve. It was also possible that these two similar energies collided, consuming and training each other, improving their quality.

These dozens of energies, although they caused Buggy's Haki to retreat, didn't advance quickly. Haki slowed down its advance. At the same time, it continued to grow during the confrontation. The smile on Buggy's face grew wider.

The mayor, who was on the side, saw this situation and the fact that his Haki could confront these dozens of energies. He was very surprised. At the same time, he also saw Buggy's smile. He felt something was wrong.

The mayor subconsciously sensed the changes in the Sacrifice Space. He also discovered something unusual. In the confrontation with Haki, the energy he had collected for decades was being consumed at an abnormal rate. He connected this to Buggy's smile and realized that it must be Buggy's doing.

Buggy, who was in front of the energy attack, also noticed that the mayor was lost in thought. He knew that the other party might have noticed something unusual and was probably looking for the reason.

Buggy immediately restrained his smile. After the energy had advanced a certain distance, his face began to show panic. His body trembled slightly. He showed that he was struggling to resist.

This was intentional. He was feigning weakness to make the other party think that these attacks were effective and prevent the mayor from immediately stopping the attack.

The mayor, after discovering that his energy was disappearing at a strange rate, didn't know the reason. But he was ready to give up the attack. This kind of consumption was very unfavorable to him. This energy had taken him decades to collect. He couldn't bear to waste it.

Just as the mayor was about to withdraw his energy, he also noticed Buggy's change. His actions became hesitant. He watched Buggy's current situation.

Under his watch, Buggy's situation became increasingly unbearable. Buggy seemed like he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer under this attack.

But this didn't make the mayor happy. Instead, his brow furrowed deeper. This put him in a difficult position.

With the current situation, Buggy might not be able to hold on much longer. Although the energy was being consumed strangely, it might achieve the result he wanted. And he had another guess: perhaps it was because of the collision with Haki that caused this consumption.

This made him hesitate. He didn't make any further moves.

Seeing that the other party wasn't making any moves, Buggy felt a little relieved. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a great chance to fleece him. How could he not seize it? At the same time, he accelerated the contraction of his Haki, creating the illusion that he was about to be defeated.

When the dozens of energies were only a few meters away from Buggy, the mayor completely abandoned his decision to withdraw his energy. A smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he used the Sacrifice Fruit's ability to adjust more energy in the space and attack Buggy from all directions.

Buggy also noticed the mayor's actions and felt the energies attacking from all directions. His joy disappeared, replaced by seriousness.

Under so many energy attacks, if he wasn't careful, he might lose more than he gained. He might really die here.

Buggy immediately quickly retracted his Haki, covering himself with a one-meter-wide invisible protective wall, and his Armament Haki covered his entire body. This was his other layer of protection. He was ready to escape at any time.

When he was ready, the dozens of energies attacking from all directions slammed into the protective wall formed by his Haki.

This time, although Haki had made great progress and its quality had been further refined, the consequences for Buggy weren't good.

Under this attack, Buggy's body took a huge impact. Blood flowed from his mouth. His body was pushed back by these attacks in one direction. He retreated about a hundred meters, reaching the edge of the space, before he could barely support himself.

After stopping, Buggy checked his condition. There was a smile on his face, but he was also depressed.

He was depressed because he had been seriously injured in this attack. If it weren't for Life Return and his special physique constantly recovering these injuries, he might have been affected in the next battle.

He was smiling because his Haki had made great progress under this massive energy attack. It had almost taken a big step forward.

If it was beginner level before, then now it was equivalent to intermediate level. Now, Buggy's Haki was almost comparable to those old-time Haki users who didn't have enough potential but had awakened Haki for decades.

The mayor saw Buggy's current state. His face didn't show any laughter. Instead, it became very gloomy.
