One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi.

Whitebeard II Edward Weeble.

Beehive Island Wang Zhi.

Brother Ming is not surprised by the three candidates.

They are all candidates who are troublesome to deal with but have little impact on the face of the World Government.

Needless to say, Shirahoshi, the princess living on Fish-Man Island can be ignored by the world government, but without the pirate Shirahoshi on Fish-Man Island...

The navy can only help.

Neptune really wasn’t just blown away.

The white star that can drive the Neptune type is very lethal on the vast sea, especially when the entire mermaid and fishmen tribe have become nomadic.

That's disgusting.

There is really nothing we can do except for the general to take action.

But the navy now only has one general, Kizaru, Aokiji has been promoted to marshal, and Sengoku, who was about to retire, has also been hired back.

There is no way, the high-end combat power is really lacking.

Also keep an eye on that Akainu guy, don't really go crazy.

Can't stand it.

As for Whitebeard II, it was only after Whitebeard's death that he started to make a big splash, followed by a woman who claimed to be his.

Kizaru came into contact with it and commented that it did have the power of Whitebeard.

I don’t know if he was looking for an excuse for not arresting such a pirate.

However, Whitebeard II basically focused on the territory of the original Whitebeard Pirates, claiming that he wanted to inherit Whitebeard's legacy.

At present, it seems that there is a big conflict with the two forces of Blackbeard and Whitebeard's remnants, so it is not surprising that the World Government chooses to win over them.

There is just one old guy who has a big opinion about this.

But the old guys who have retreated to the second line have little influence on the decision-making level.

The last one who surprised Brother Ming a little was Wang Zhi.

This is a character from the old times.

He was once a member of the Rocks Pirates, and was a companion with Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Golden Lion, Captain John and others.

However, after the Rocks Pirates were disbanded, Wang Zhi kept a much lower profile and occupied Honeycomb Island, the original base of the Rocks Pirates.

He has a close relationship with the King of Shipping.

There is a general interest in expansion of power.

The World Government has included this person in the recruitment list. It seems that the pressure has been a bit high recently.

The emergence of two criminals who dared to openly attack and kill the Tianlong people was a challenge to the authority of the world's nobles.

Coupled with the disclosure of the Devil Fruit awakening theory, the world is even more chaotic.

Brother Ming is a very intuitive person on this point.

The reason is also very simple.

His arms business has increased a lot!

After the meeting, Brother Ming did not stop at Marineland.

He was not welcome here.

"I said, are we just going through the motions?"

On the ship, Torebol asked with a smile.

In his impression, Brother Ming never does such boring things.

"Just to satisfy those old guys' desire for control."

Brother Ming glanced at him, it was not a good thing to be in the limelight too much, especially the group of Tianlong people who wanted to get a piece of the pie from him.

So Brother Ming didn't stop coming just because he said he couldn't come, like Empress and Hawkeye did.

"By the way, let the rats in the sewer come out for some air."

Brother Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully.

It probably refers to some of the remaining resistance forces in the kingdom.

Torebol thought as he rubbed his chin.

"Hehe, that's not bad."

He didn't think Brother Ming's look meant anything.

"The family is getting better and better, but it's a pity that guy Vergo can't see it anymore. It's a shame."

"Obviously, we started a family together. We are each other's family, I said."

Once Torrepol started talking, he seemed unable to stop.

"Dover, we have to find a way to avenge him. Our family members cannot die in vain. We have to make the murderer pay an equal price."

This is indeed Torrepol's true words.

For these weirdos who come from all over the world to gather together, family is a very important concept.

It is the foundation of the strong cohesion of the Don Quixote family.

Except for Ming Ge's biological brother and Baby-5, the idiot who is not very smart, everyone else's loyalty to the family is visible to the naked eye.

Including himself.

"..." Brother Ming's expression froze for a moment, and then he showed a vicious smile.

"That's right."

"Family members cannot die in vain."

But some people have betrayed the family.

You are the core of your family. If you betray yourself, you will betray the family.

Ming Ge's eyes flickered, and Vergo's attitude of defecting on the spot seemed to reappear in front of him.

Even Vergo would rebel under the instigation of the Joker, but what about Torebol?

"Have you been looking into this, Torrey."

"Sorry, Dover."

Torrebol blew his nose. Their four top cadres had supported Ming Ge since he was a child.

So the attitude is not particularly low.

"I know you don't want us to investigate, but I say, that's Vergo, our heart."

Brother Ming is the family's ghost card, and the four top cadres are clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts.

Torrepol is the club and Vergo is the heart.

"I mean, you've been investigating, right?"

Brother Ming's tone became even calmer.

Loyal family members are family, but betrayal family members must be cut off by oneself.

He has always been tolerant to his family and can be forgiven for his mistakes, but betrayal is something that Brother Ming cannot accept.

In his view, Torrebol's disobedience to his own orders to investigate Vergo's death was itself a kind of... betrayal.

Because he killed Vergo himself.

Again.

Let Torebol continue to investigate, and finally find the clues pointing to his words.

Is it possible that he really wants to commit seppuku?

Therefore, it must be Virgo who is at fault.

Torebol was stunned for a moment, feeling that Brother Ming's tone was a little strange.

"Yes, I am investigating, but it's definitely not that I don't trust Dover. I just want to know——"

"Well!"

Torebol's body was suddenly hung up by a few thin wires. He lost control of his limbs and even breathed in shock.

"You want to know..."

"I can tell you that, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

Through pink cat-eye sunglasses, Torebol saw Ming Ge's eyes becoming extremely cruel.

"Dover, what are you doing?!"

"We are family!"

The ship sailing on the vast sea was lonely, and there were only two of them on the deck.

Torrepol struggled to use Mingo's most cherished title.

"Not the one who betrayed me."

Brother Ming dragged out thin lines with a cold light on his fingertips.

Five colored threads appear in the air.

he said in Torebol's ear.

"I killed Vergo..."

Then he covered his eyes.

This is the last tenderness of the family.

In some old-fashioned pastry shops, you can still see the master chefs using a straight thin thread to cut the rice cakes. When the sharp thread cuts through the rice cakes, there is only a small grunting sound.

The same is true now.

White clouds are still moving leisurely through the blue and white sky.

Seagulls fly by from time to time.

The ships on the sea were silent.

"The devil...I can definitely feel its presence."

A thin red line stretched in front of Brother Ming's eyes.

The introduction of the devil's awakening theory is good news for all fruit ability users.

Brother Ming himself is no exception.

Moreover, he has a very high compatibility with the Thread Fruit, and has already reached the level of awakening.

So this theory helped him.

Allowing him to feel the devil's presence more clearly.

At the same time, find a way to make yourself stronger.

"What's the next stage?"

"Replacing the devil?"

Really possess the power to yourself, even like a demon who is not restricted by death.

So tempting.

Brother Ming seemed to smell a bright road in front of him.

Gulu gulu——

The ringing of a telephone bug interrupted his thoughts.

It's not Caesar, but the phone call of Monet, the secret agent he planted next to Caesar.

He crossed his legs and picked it up.

"...Young...Young Master."

"Something went wrong with the plan."

Disgusting news.

Brother Ming frowned and said, "Say."

"The Joker didn't land on the island as planned."

"Didn't he take the bait? That guy Woods shouldn't dare to deceive me."

The news of the clown's appearance made Brother Ming advance 600 million.

He didn't think that guy from Sea Fortune King had the guts to deceive him.

"No, I mean, he didn't do the usual thing of docking the ship first and then landing on the island to explore."

Most story books are like this.

When facing a strange island, shouldn’t we take every step and uncover the island’s mysteries layer by layer?

Apart from anything else, even those iron fences full of warnings on the outside should make the other party cautious.

The giant ship has not come close to the island yet.

But Bucky's brain circuit is obviously different from ordinary people.

"He flew right over."

For some reason, Monet felt that the speechlessness and helplessness he felt when he said this completely resonated with him.

She turned her head and glanced at the clown in front of her.

He is studying how well the lower body, made up of two legs from a horse and a monkey, can move.

It's so weird that it looks like a mythical beast in the classics.

She continued:

"Caesar is now hiding in the institute, and the clown has followed him."

"With that guy's nature, he is likely to rebel."

Hearing this, Brother Ming's frown relaxed.

I thought it was the clown who didn't bite the hook...

Once the hook is bitten, it will be easy to handle.

"Have you obtained the research materials?"

Although Caesar is a talented person, Ming Ge only needs to grasp the result of the artificial devil fruit to make enough money for him.

As long as Monet can master the raw materials of smile's artificial devil fruit and the manufacturing method of SAD, it doesn't matter whether Caesar lives or not.

Dead is even better.

The possibility of Caesar's rebellion mentioned by Monet is not generally high.

That guy was originally greedy for life and afraid of death.

"I've already noted it down."

Monet felt that his answer was smooth, even as it should have been.

"I'll have Buffalo pick you up, and when the time is right, we'll wipe it all out."

"Yes, young master, I will never let your secret be leaked."

The phone bug closed his eyes and entered a resting state.

"well done."

Bucky patted her head rewardingly.

"what I should do."

Monet showed a cute smile and drilled his head into Bucky's hand.

Everything he did turned out to be for Mr. Clown's game.

It turns out that my purpose is to drive the person on the other end of the phone crazy.

"Let's go and see the artificial devil fruit here."

The horse legs and monkey legs are not very coordinated.

And the height is not the same, so they can only jump sideways.

Baki helped him.

A goat leg was added to the side of the monkey leg.

This way it is balanced!

He didn't forget his original intention.

The devil clown in the spiritual world has shriveled up to the point of being a fruit peel.

Directly incorporating real devil fruits may cause conflicts.

But using artificial devil fruits is very suitable.

Just like the little blue medicine.

The door of the institute in alert state is closed.

The pneumatic door with a thickness of two meters even withstood the last big explosion.

But it obviously can't withstand the inner ghost.

Monet blinked at the camera hidden in front of the door.

There is a small door on the side.

"The door is usually not opened. If it is opened, it must be forcibly broken by the enemy, so the passage behind is full of traps."

Monet explained.

She smiled again, as if she was looking at Caesar in the control room through the surveillance camera.

She believed that the other party must have seen it.

This was indeed the case.

When Caesar saw Monet, who was smiling, walking into the institute with Bucky, his face was almost full of shock.

He took a breath.

Then he said to the microphone in front of him:

"The woman you sent has betrayed!"

"Your plan has completely failed. If you still want to continue the cooperation, send someone to pick me up!"

"Humph——"

Mingge, who was still on the sea, lowered his head and sneered.

Caesar's call was connected after Monet.

And according to Monet, the person who betrayed should be Caesar.

I probably know what tricks you want to play... clown.

Mingge whispered to himself.

Then he said to Caesar:

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to pick you up."

"But you have to prepare the research materials first, and you know what should be destroyed."

"Many people don't want to see our things."

"You should understand that."

Mingge flicked his fingers and his mind turned very quickly.

He trusted his family more.

Besides, with Caesar's strength, how could he be safe and sound in front of the clown?

It must be that he was instigated by the clown like Vergo did at the beginning.

But he had to think about how to deal with Caesar's problem.

"How long will it take for your people to arrive?"

"I don't have to cooperate with you!"

Caesar's tone was trembling.

He saw the clown facing the camera and showing his signature smile.

The research passage behind the gate twisted and turned.

There were many airtight doors.

Bucky also saw many giant death row prisoners who were still in a frozen state.

The hideous expressions and twisted limbs fully demonstrated that this research institute did not abide by any moral bottom line at all.

"SAD, as the raw material of artificial devil fruit, is derived from Dr. Vegapunk's research on bloodline factors."

"In essence, it is cultivated from the bloodline factors extracted from the bodies of those with special abilities."

To be the secretary of a mad scientist, Monet needs to master a lot of things.

"SAD is actually a petri dish."

She pushed open the last door in front.

More than a dozen special abilities in animal form were immersed in the green nutrient solution.

Four pipes connected their bodies.

"Welcome to the SAD laboratory, young master."
