Chapter 462: Fallen Holy City


    The tsunami caused by the fall of the massive chunk of Red Line is much bigger than the one caused by Whitebeard in the war. This tsunami''s height alone is already more than 2 kilometers and it''s very wide because of the sheer size of the fallingnd.


    Buggy''s attack chopped thend in a V shape, so it gets wider as it gets higher. As the height of the Red Line from the surface of the sea is already more than 10 kilometers, the top part that is being cut is incredibly wide. The top part of the chopped part is already more than 15 kilometers long, so the tsunami wave spans almost as long as that because the fallingnd is almost submerged in the seapletely.


    Such a tsunami will obviously reach New Marineford and the 3 first inds of New World. New Marineford has been protected by Aokiji and Ryokugyu. As for the 3 first inds, Buggy has made arrangements for this matter.


    His subordinate organization, The Caribbean has nted its roots everywhere. Obviously, that includes the 3 first inds of New Worlds which are very important locations. The Caribbean members on the inds immediately warned the people as soon as the Red Line fell.


    Some people didn''t cooperate because they don''t see the danger. So the Caribbean members used some force to make them move. They all go to higher grounds which is enough because the tsunami wave won''t be that big when it reaches these inds.


    All the inders shiver when they see the tsunami reallyes. Those who didn''t want to evacuate are trembling harder because they almost died. They all see their towns getting crushed by tsunami, but they are still alive at least.


    While these inds aren''t drownedpletely by the tsunami, the New Marineford ispletely covered by it. Not only it is closer to Red Line, but the ind also doesn''t have any high ground. The base building might be tall, but it isn''t taller than a mountain.


    But even if it''spletely submerged by the tsunami wave, the dome created by Aokiji and Ryokugyu is strong enough to block the water from crushing the ind. Aokiji even increases the ice thickness by freezing the water that touches the dome to strengthen it even further.


    The impact doesn''t just affect the ones on the surface, but also the ones underwater. Fishman Ind is also affected as the fallingnd was pushing water everywhere. The pushed water passed through the gap underneath Red Line and reaches Fishman Ind.


    But they have been prepared for it because Buggy has visited them before reaching Sabaody and told them his n. He left his Fishman members to defend Fishman Ind and also asked for Sun Pirates'' cooperation. They use Fishman Karate to counter the strong current caused by the falling ind.


    Clown Pirates'' Fishman members are very powerful that each one of them can defeat Jinbe. So the defense is surely very powerful too and the Fishman Ind is well protected. Though they can''t protect the areas outside the bubble because the defense would be weaker if they spread too much.


    Luckily, there won''t be any need to protect the area outside the bubble. In the past, they would be worried about the Fishmen in the Fishman District. But that ce has been closed after years of effort by the Kingdom with the help of Clown and Sun Pirates.


    Buggy has persuaded the Ryugu Kingdom to close Fishman District. Obviously, he gave them ns that were made carefully by some smart guys he knows. He also provided manpower to help the Kingdom like his Fishmen members and friends.


    They seeded and now Fishman District has been closed. Those who lived there have been relocated to the main ind. Buggy also recruited a lot of them to his subordinate organizations to help the Ryugu Kingdom from getting overpopted and also getting himself new blood.


    As for Hody Jones and co, Buggy sent his men to secretly assassinate them. Obviously, he did that after some investigations to convince his Fishman members. He did that many years ago before Hody could assassinate Otohime, so the Queen is still alive now, and she brought many changes to Fishman Ind.


    Anyway, the locations affected by the fallingnd are safe. The only unsafe ce is Marie Geoise which literally fell from the sky. All buildings are destroyed, including the iconic Pangaea Castle. Though it isn''tpletely destroyed, showing that it was made well using good materials.


    Many people died either from being crushed by the destroyed building or the falling impact. Many Cipher Pol Agents, Guards, and even Celestial Dragons died. No one ever expected that Marie Geoise would get into this state.


    Well, no one would ever expect that someone would be crazy and powerful enough to cut the Red Line that has stood tall since unknown time. This is just beyond any expectations, beyond anymon sense. After all, many have tried, but Red Line never gets destroyed.


    But someone with the ability to do that has appeared now and he just happened to be Buggy who despises the Celestial Dragons. He has nned this for a long time. Other than his hate for Celestial Dragons, he also always wanted to cut the Red Line since he first saw it.


    His dream gets even stronger since he awakened his devil fruit ability. So he kept improving himself and his weapons to achieve that dream. When his swords turned into ck des, he started nning for this, and now he finally executed it.


    But just cutting the Red Line won''t end this because now he has surely angered the enemies. Those like the 5 Elders will surely do anything to kill him after this. So before they can even think of that, he will wipe them out first, ending everything immediately.


    The survivors on Marie Geoise aren''t many because only the strong ones could survive falling from more than 10 km altitude. Even if Fujitora managed to slow it down a little, the impact was still too powerful for most of them. Only the truly powerful people could survive this.


    Unsurprisingly, the 5 Elders survived. They aren''t just average Celestial Dragons that only know how to y around like retards, after all. Though the more surprising thing is there are several Celestial Dragons that survived too.


    Of course, not all Celestial Dragons are the same as those idiots who got punched by Luffy in the Human Shop. Some are actually trained to be powerful. These guys are those who are prepared to lead the Celestial Dragons in the future and maybe take over the positions of 5 Elders too.


    "Heh, you guys didn''t die, huh? You should''ve just died earlier because it will just get more painfulter."


    Buggy suddenly appears near Marie Geoise. He is standing on ck Pearl that floats in the air near the fallen Marie Geoise. Yes, the ship is flying right now. Its bottom is covered by a reddish cloud which is the reason why this ship can fly.


    This red cloud is the Azure Dragon''s me cloud, which also means that the Dragon is Clown Pirates'' member. Sure enough, the Azure Dragon suddenly appears in hybrid form, standing beside Buggy. There is a unique chestnut-like hair on top of his head which reveal his identity.


    The new user of Fish Fish Fruit, model: Azure Dragon is none other than Cricket. He who refused to eat any Devil Fruit just couldn''t resist the temptation of this specific devil fruit. Though the main reason was that he doesn''t want to be left behind too far by Buggy.


    Cricket already has this devil fruit for years, but he never revealed it. Only the Clown Pirates know of this and they all kept it as a secret. Cricket only used his devil fruit ability around his crewmates who also helped him improve his mastery by fighting him.


    "CLOWN! IT''S YOU!"


    "Who else if it''s not me, old man? Do you know anyone that can do this other than me?"


    Buggy grins widely while looking at the furious elders. Then one of the elders who always holds his sword, Saint Ethanbaron swings his sword toward the ck Pearl. A big and powerful sh attack flies toward ck Pearl.


    "Oho, you old men really have some real power, huh?"


    Buggy smirks while rubbing his chin calmly. A big lightning bolt suddenly strikes the sh attack and destroys it as Enel returns to the ship after disturbing Kizaru and Fujitora.


    "Well, old guys, it''s not like I don''t want to entertain you or at least see what you can do. But there is something more important for me to do. It''s a test to see if the science I know is really useful or not."


    Buggy picks a metal ball the size of a basketball from the floor. It''s not a cannonball, but a metal ball made of pure iron.


    "I don''t know if it will work because I use iron, but hopefully it will. Ah, by the way, old men, do you guys know what an atom is?"
