Chapter 175 The invincible half is still invincible!
Gulan Tezoro, VIP Lounge of the Gold Hotel.

"It seems you've got what you wanted! The power of the devil fruit is truly magical!"

Bucky sat at the head seat at the dining table and sighed from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the Red Earl opposite him who had returned to his middle-aged appearance!
Animal type·Bat Fruit·Mythical Beast·Vampire Form! This devil fruit buried in the underground of the Sleeping Ancient Town has given the Red Earl, who was already very old and struggling to survive in the infinite hell under the Impel Down City, a second spring of life, returning to his peak! Even surpassing his peak!
Although he had expected this and even personally made it happen, witnessing this power that violated the laws of nature with his own eyes still made Buggy sigh at the absurdity of this world!

The Red Count gently shook a goblet of red wine in his hand and said calmly, "It is thanks to you that I got the information. Otherwise, I don't know if my old body can hold on until I find the vampire fruit!"

Buggy asked out of curiosity, "So, did this vampire fruit really turn you into an immortal monster? Are you afraid of light, silver, garlic, and other things now?"

Buggy was very curious whether this so-called vampire fruit only gave Red Earl the ability of a vampire or really turned Red Earl into a vampire!
“How is that possible!” The Red Count had no intention of hiding his ability and explained directly to Buggy: “To be precise, this vampire fruit only allows me to gain the ability to control blood! It allows me to absorb nutrients from blood to replenish myself!”

"I will still grow old, die, and get injured! But I can also use the nutrients in my blood to 'heal' everything! Make you younger and recover quickly from injuries!"

"To put it simply, I will still grow old and die, but as long as I have enough blood, I will be immortal and indestructible!"

"As for the young people you mentioned about light, silver, garlic, etc., if you have nothing to do, read less biographical novels. Vampires don't exist!"

Bucky’s eyes twitched when he heard that. Even though the Red Earl said it in such a high-sounding way, in reality, isn’t that just the ability of a vampire?
The Red Earl ignored Bucky's complaints, put down his glass, looked at Bucky and said, "Okay, no more unnecessary words. I came here to repay you a favor! Just tell me what you want me to do!"

Bucky frowned when he heard this. The Red Earl was being too direct. As he liked to take things slow, he was a little uncomfortable with this!

The key is that with the Red Count's bug-like observation Haki, Buggy can't be tactful at all!

Bucky thought for a moment, then raised a finger and said, "One year! How about you stay with me and help me for a year?"

Upon hearing this, the Red Earl's eyes flashed red, and he asked in surprise, "One year? Are you so confident that you can reach the top of this world and completely change it within one year?"

The Red Earl could "see" what was in Buggy's mind, and knew that Buggy wanted to use his power to completely change the world within a year!

This made the Red Earl a little bit unbelievable! I don't know where Bucky got such confidence!
Buggy smiled and said, "One year is not enough to completely change the world, but one year is enough for me to become the strongest in the world!"

"The strongest in this world is not just a false title like Whitebeard's so-called strongest man in the world or Kaido's strongest creature on land, sea and air, but the strongest in the world in the true sense!"

"Then I will sweep away all obstacles with overwhelming force!"

At the very beginning, Buggy estimated that with his body that was getting stronger every minute, it would only take two or three years for him to become the strongest in the world and be invincible!
But after a series of battles, Buggy suddenly realized that his so-called world's strongest was based on the standards of Mr. Saitama, which was not in line with the actual situation! Mr. Saitama can be called the world's strongest not because he can only be the world's strongest, but because the limit of that world is just like that!

But Teacher Saitama has already broken the limits!
If the strongest combat power in the One Punch Man world is several hundred, then Saitama's combat power is ten thousand or even one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands!

Even if Mr. Saitama's strength is cut in half, he is still the strongest in the world!
The strongest half is still the strongest! The invincible half is still invincible!
Similarly, if Buggy wants to become the strongest in this world, he doesn't need to have the strength of Teacher Saitama! Half, even a quarter or a tenth of Teacher Saitama is enough!

So Bucky doesn't need two or three years, one year is enough!

Maybe it won’t even take a year!
The Red Earl truly saw Bucky's confidence, and his doubts and curiosity grew even more!

What is puzzling is where Bucky's self-confidence comes from, and what is curious is that he can tell that Bucky's confidence is the kind of confidence that comes from being fully confident, rather than the arrogance that looks down on everything!

The Red Earl said, "A year is actually nothing to me now. Even if it's ten years or a hundred years, it won't make any difference!"

"But I'm really curious as to why you think you'll be invincible in a year."

"And you have to know that force alone cannot completely change the world! What exactly do you want to do?"

Buggy smiled and said confidently: "If the power cannot change the result, then it only means that the power is not strong enough! Such power is not worthy of being called invincible!"

"As for how to change this world, I can't explain it clearly at the moment! Since you have plenty of time now, why not just stay by my side and be a spectator!"

"If you see something that interests you, you can participate in it yourself. If you don't see anything that interests you, you can just leave after a year!"

The red light in the Red Earl's eyes flashed, and he said, "I don't care about this. I'll just treat it as a way to kill time! But you still haven't told me where your confidence comes from!"

Buggy chuckled and said, "My own words may not be convincing, why don't you take a look for yourself! With your level of observation Haki, you might be able to discover something!"

Buggy said as he spread out his hands, signaling Red Earl to check for himself. Red Earl, who had been somewhat restrained, let go after hearing this, and used his Observation Haki to his fullest to investigate Buggy!

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, the Red Earl's expression changed!
Although the Red Earl had noticed that Buggy had become stronger than when he was in Impel Down, a closer look now revealed that he had not just become stronger, but the two were simply not on the same level!
It's only been a few months since we last met. How did Bucky do all this?
