RBTC: Chapter 78

---

Although the mayor had injured Buggy, he also discovered that a large amount of his energy, almost equivalent to several years' worth of collection, had mysteriously disappeared. How could he be happy about that?

He also confirmed his previous guess was correct. Buggy might have used some method to consume his energy, causing all the energy he had painstakingly collected for years to disappear. And the smiles he had seen before might have been because of this. Perhaps even the weakness he had shown was an act.

"You little brat, what kind of trick did you use to make my power disappear so much?"

The mayor couldn't help but ask his question. He wanted to know why.

Buggy confirmed that the mayor had discovered the abnormality. He probably wouldn't use those energy attacks against him anymore. Looking at the mayor, he adjusted his recovering body, stood up straight, looked at the mayor, and said, "If you want to know, then use your energy to withstand my attack."

The other party might not use this trick against him anymore. Buggy said this to fleece the other party for the last bit of wool. He believed that after he said this, the other party would definitely use that energy to resist his attack in the next attack because the mayor wanted to know why.

The mayor thought about it with a gloomy expression for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright, bring it on."

The mayor had to figure out the reason for his energy disappearance. This would prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. He also knew Buggy's purpose, but this was a price he had to pay.

After saying this, the mayor gathered a large amount of energy in dozens of colors and protected himself with it.

Although he knew that the other party's ability would consume his energy, Buggy's strength was not bad either. If he didn't prepare adequately, he might also pay a heavy price. He couldn't ignore his own life because of energy consumption. For his own safety, it was better to gather as much energy as possible.

Buggy instantly used Soru (moonwalk) and disappeared from the spot. He didn't use Haki at first. He wanted to maximize his benefits.

The mayor immediately discovered Buggy's figure as he disappeared. This was the ability that the Sacrifice Space gave him. In this space, no matter how any creature moved, he could discover their whereabouts through the Sacrifice Space.

Buggy directly appeared above the other party. This was to give the other party a false signal and prepare to fleece him later.

After reaching the top, Buggy first pretended to launch an attack, quickly charging down. When he was not far from the mayor, he directly used his Haki.

With a surprise attack, the mayor, surrounded by Haki, was forced to retreat by the massive amount of energy blocking him above.

This was an effect that could only be achieved in this situation. Buggy's Haki, although it had made some progress, couldn't gain any advantage against such a massive amount of energy under normal circumstances. It was only through a surprise attack that this energy was forced to retreat.

The mayor was initially on high alert. When Buggy charged towards him, he mobilized his energy to defend and attack. He didn't expect the other party to use Haki when he wasn't far away. This caught him off guard and he didn't react immediately.

The mayor mobilized this energy to confront the other party's Haki. His energy disappeared quickly after the collision. He realized the reason for the energy's strange disappearance.

Realizing that it was because of Haki, the mayor instantly disappeared from the spot. This was the ability of the space. As long as he was in the space, he could teleport to any part of the Sacrifice Space at any time.

The mayor reappeared in another place. His energy instantly stopped resisting Haki and merged into the Sacrifice Space.

Although this was the result, Buggy's face was full of smiles. His attack this time had made his Haki progress further. Although it wasn't a significant improvement, it was still progress. This was much faster than improving his strength, enhancing his spirit, and waiting for time to pass.

"Kid, you're lucky. But the Sacrifice Fruit isn't that simple."

After saying this, the mayor's body emitted a large amount of strange gray energy. This energy wasn't used to attack Buggy. After this energy came out, a large amount of energy in dozens of colors in the Sacrifice Space instantly swarmed towards the mayor's body.

After this energy rushed into the mayor's body, the mayor's body began to change drastically. First, his body size rapidly increased. In a short time, he grew to hundreds of meters tall. The mayor became a true giant.

And the changes didn't stop there. His muscles began to bulge. His skin was completely covered in Armament Haki. A sword condensed from strange energy appeared in his hand. And he was wearing armor condensed from strange energy.

"Kid, take this!" The giant voice and the roar of the mayor's sword cutting through the air echoed repeatedly in this space. Just these sounds made Buggy's ears ache.

Looking at the other party's huge change and the power of his sword slash, Buggy's face was very serious. He knew that the next battle might be a life-or-death crisis.

Buggy didn't choose to resist the other party's sword. Even though he was a swordsman, facing such a huge body and the force of its giant slash, he wasn't confident that he could block it. So, he could only choose to dodge.

As the sword was about to slash at Buggy, Buggy disappeared from the spot and appeared behind the other party. But at the same time that he appeared, the mayor's giant body also instantly disappeared. He also appeared behind Buggy.

Seeing the other party disappear, Buggy knew that this was probably the ability of the Sacrifice Space. His Observation Haki also discovered the mayor who had teleported behind him. At the same time, he instantly disappeared from the spot.

This time, Buggy didn't move behind the mayor. He knew that it wouldn't be of any use. The other party could teleport instantly in the Sacrifice Space. His movement speed wouldn't gain him any advantage. Instead, it might exhaust his stamina.

Buggy kept a certain distance from the mayor. He directly pushed En'yō and launched his strongest attack. The Flame Hurricane, the Thousand Flame Blade, and the Flame Moon Slash were all used in succession.

But this didn't cause any damage to the mayor. His huge body, covered in Armament Haki, completely defended against these attacks. But it also had a certain effect. It hindered the mayor's attack. The two of them chased each other, exchanging moves, in a stalemate in the Sacrifice Space.
