Chapter 1922 Curse vs Clown

I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.

The team went back home after dealing in Invincible's world. They were handling they're own personal lives.

Shiro walks down the road and looks around. He was wearing his normal clothes and hidding his robot parts.

"Now I better get things done."

Then he saw the ground get slashed by something and he dodges.

"What is going on?"

"Nice reactions."

Shiro looks up and saw a guy sitting on a rooftop, it was a guy with red hair, tattoos on his face with a robe.

"Who are you?" Shiro got his sword out.

"I am Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. You can thank your friends from Team Dark to ressurect me so I asked them to show me one of you guys to see how strong you are."

Shiro frowns and can tell this guy is really evil.

Sukuna comes down and smirks. "Now let's see."

He charges at Shiro and traded blows with him, Shiro slashes but Sukuna blocks the sword with his arms that are covered in curse energy.

Shiro frowns and shoots a light beam making Sukuna dodge.

"Dismantle." Sukuna pointed and Shiro got slashed in the chest.

"What?!" Shiro got shocked.

He saw his metal body got damaged and he goes back to avoid another thanks to his observation Haki.

"Dismantle." He makes multiple slashes on Shiro as he cries out in pain.

"Open." Sukuna makes a flame arrow to shoot.

Shiro counters with his own to stop it, then he moves around to dodge more of the slashes.

"You can run but you can't hide." Sukuna said.

Shiro frowns and he thinks of something. Then he remembers someone a pirate that is immune to chopping attacks.

He makes a portal and someone comes out.

Sukuna sends another slash, but the person that got cut was Buggy the Clown who cried out.

Then he puts himself back together. "Hey!" He glares at Shiro.

Shiro found Buggy who was running away from Tomura's group so he took him to a safe place.

"Sorry but I needed your help against him." Shiro pointed.

Buggy looks at Sukuna. "Who's this guy?"

"Really, you through a clown." Sukuna said.

"Hey i'm Captain Buggy!" He got mad and charges.

Sukuna slashes him many times into pieces but Buggy goes back into someone surprising him.

Buggy then saw that he couldn't harm him and got confident. "Hey you bastard. You think you can face me."

He splits appart and takes out knives and hidden blades from his shoes.

"Then take this, Chop-Chop Cannon!" He shoots his hand forward to stab Sukuna in the gut making him grunt.

"Chop-Chop Rice Cracker!" He sends his lower half cartwheeling at Sukuna.

He pulls the hand off and dodges before using cleave again to slash it in half before it went back together.

Shiro smiles and watches. "If anyone can avoid those attacks. It's Buggy."

Buggy might be seen as a coward or fraud to some, but he's a strong guy when he gets his mind set and now his abilities are helping him.

Buggy splits into smaller pieces. "Chop-Chop Festival!"

He spins around slashing at Sukuna many times as he grunted putting his arms up and he jumps away.

"Take this Buggy Ball!" He shoots a ball from his foot.

It then explodes on to Sukuna making a big explosion.

Buggy puts himself back together and smiles.

Then from the smoke Sukuna gets up before looking at himself and chuckles. "I must say, it's been a long time since someone pushed me like this. Now let's test your limits."

"Eh?" Buggy got confused.

Sukuna puts his hands together. "Domain expansion: Malevolent Shrine!"

He makes his domain appear as a shrine rises up from behind him.

Then Buggy got slashed many times and he tries to get back.

"Let's see how much you can keep yourself under control after being slashed too much Buggy." Sukuna said.

Buggy got scared but he came this far. "I won't be beaten!"

He charges forward despite his body getting smaller pieces and he kept putting them back together.

"I will... I will... Become King of the Pirates!"

Then a big shockwave came out of him surprising Shiro. He saw a red energy coming out of Buggy.

"Haki! Conquerors even!" Shiro got stunned.

That managed to strike Sukuna and because of that he canceled the domain.

Sukuna was stunned while Buggy got tired going to his knees.

He then chuckles. "How fun. Your name is Buggy right well then I hope to see you again later on. And Shiro, you and your team will be next."

He makes a portal and leaves.

Shiro goes up to Buggy. "Buggy that was amazing. You managed to use conquerors Haki."

He gave a weak thumbs up before passing out. Shiro just smiles and helps pick up Buggy before taking him back to his place.

Sukuna goes to a dark dimension and saw Tomura.

"You lost to a clown?!"

"That clown was a lot stronger than what I expected. It seems that he was getting better with the potential he had." Sukuna said.

Mahito passes by and got shocked seeing Sukuna.

"Sukuna?"

He looks at him. "You."

Mahito backs away scared.

"Mahito is part of Team Dark B, so he's technically your superior." Tomura said.

Sukuna got annoyed and goes up to Mahito. "You? I wonder if I killed you I would like your spot."

Mahito shakes his head.

Sid came. "Now now. No need to fight among yourselves. You did well to show that Buggy can grow to a actual threat Sukuna since you pushed him to show Conquerors Haki. Now go and relax."

Sukuna stares before going off with Mahito going to his room.

The day was saved by a unexpected hero being Buggy the Clown as he was one that could stop Sukuna from attacking Shiro.

Note: Sukuna has come back from the dead and he was trouble so Shiro got Buggy's help because of his own devil fruit.
