One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

It was a half-moon tonight, and the town was not very bright.

But in Renee's eyes, it was very different.

The world was not only what the eyes saw and the ears heard, but also smells, like the rippling white smoke from the incense burner, clearly guiding the direction.

It also included the pungent smell of gunpowder from the two bombs in his hands.

Something had to be blown up...

This idea naturally came to Renee's mind. He got on all fours, scratched the gray wall, and jumped onto the roof with a turn.

The town was not quiet. Although the raging fire had been extinguished, there were many guys who were making trouble besides Lao Sha and Moria.

The smile factory that could mass-produce artificial devil fruits... These people came for this kind of thing.

But they were looking in the wrong place.

Renee grinned.

For some reason, he became more fond of laughing.

As a local, although he didn't know where the underground factory was, it didn't prevent him from knowing who had contact with the factory.

Don Quixote couldn't possibly build a factory without the help of the townspeople.

Moreover, Rene had many questions to ask this person.

He poked his head out and sniffed the air again and again.

There was the smell of the dancer just now, heading in the direction of the King's Highlands, and the smell of the snow girl, but there was no smell of the clown...

Fortunately, there was a slightly faint smell left by the person he wanted to know.

He seemed to have locked onto a certain direction, and the big black dog flew across several roofs, and his physical strength seemed to be particularly abundant.

...

...

"Did it really work?"

Not far from the dance hall, Monet and the clown kept paying attention to the situation inside, including the posture of the big black dog when Rene jumped up.

"It's just an ordinary laborer... His strength is not even as good as that of an ordinary pirate."

Monet smacked his lips.

She also understood the flaws of the artificial devil fruit very well, but she didn't expect that a passerby that Buggy casually threw to him would actually work.

"It's not necessarily strength, but the proportion of will is more."

Buggy now has a certain understanding of the devil of the fruit.

After all, he himself has become a devil.

"Are you trying to say that even the weakest human being may not lose to the powerful ones in terms of willpower?"

"I once heard a saying that the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage. That's probably what it means."

"No." Buggy glanced at her. How could a femme fatale think of something so glorious and righteous? "A crazy will is also a will, as long as it can squeeze out the young devils."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He was in a good mood.

"I added a little bit of stuff to the artificial devil fruit. Don't worry, it's just a low dose of the laughter virus."

"At most, it will make his thoughts... more paranoid."

Buggy lowered his hands, looking very rational and indifferent in the dim moonlight.

I don't know who he was reassuring.

Monet was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:

"That makes sense."

The style of the painting is always fitting at this moment.

Buggy only smiled slightly, and his eyes turned cold again, as if a pastime could only bring him pleasure for a short time.

Whether it was Violet or Rene, they were just a pastime for him when he was bored. On a dining table, they were just a salad or a small piece of bread before the main course.

"The main course is next."

"I hope you won't disappoint me... Joker."

He narrowed his eyes.

Then, he followed Violet's path and went straight to the King's Highlands.

How to drive a person crazy...

Buggy has a lot of experience in this regard.

One of the important points is to find what the other person cherishes and gradually destroy him in front of the other person.

Buggy has already laid a lot of groundwork for this.

"Welcome back, young master."

The gate of the King's Highlands was open.

Gladius took off his mask and bowed to Buggy.

As early as Punk Hazard, he had completed the invasion and division of Buffalo and Gladius.

Buggy rubbed his neck and walked straight into the palace.

He casually glanced around the palace.

The King's Highland was like a finger protruding from a plain, and the palace of the Yuanliku royal family was a stone castle built on this finger.

The furnishings were half-worn, and the gilded lamps on both sides of the gate had some black spots, and the red carpet with gold edges was laid all the way down from the center of the hall.

"Did he go out?"

"Yes, the shameless thief left by himself after the explosion, but before leaving, he also claimed that he would use the underground factory to reward your head."

"It's shameful to use your factory to reward your head!"

"You talk too much."

"Sorry."

Gladius followed and bowed.

He followed the footsteps of his family as early as the North Sea period, and his loyalty to the family was self-evident.

But because of this, he hated the despicable thief even more.

The two clowns in his cognition were exchanged.

Buggy's impatience was only a flash.

These useless emotions are not important.

He sat on the throne in the center of the hall.

Compared to the throne of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, this throne made of iron and stone and covered with a layer of gold-edged red carpet is more suitable for human body shape.

His fingers tapped alternately on the armrest.

"Hold a family meeting. I want to get to know everyone first."

"By the way, let's improve our relationship."

"Oh, yes, and the truth."

He held his cheek with his other hand and smiled brightly.

Monet followed him step by step.

The first step of the game is to replace the other party.

He originally thought that it would take a few fireworks for Doflamingo to leave his lair, but he didn't expect that a dancer would make him crazy.

Baki narrowed his eyes and began to look forward to the reaction of this Shichibukai.

Well, if he remembered correctly, after Mingge's family members all died, he really regarded the senior cadres accompanying him as family members.

That would be even more interesting.

……

……

"Have you seen the clown?"

Mingge pulled the thin line in his hand with a grim smile on his face.

In front of him was an old man with gray hair but muscular body.

If there were citizens of the kingdom, it should be easy to recognize that this was their old king, King Riku III.

A king who is passionate about bullfighting and naive.

Although he said he let him go, Mingge knew the old king's whereabouts very well. Before the clown appeared, he was his only pastime.

He was reluctant to kill him.

But the old king's current situation is a bit miserable.

King Riku's body was hung up by a thin wire.

Under one of his arms was a white wire with serrations.

Every time it was pulled, blood and flesh flew.

But the injury was neither fatal nor his arm would be removed directly, but like sawing wood.

Torture after torture.

King Riku roared silently, but his eyes were very stubborn.

"It seems that he hasn't found you yet."

Mingge understood from the other's eyes.

But the wire saw didn't mean to stop at all.

He was just venting.

In just half a year, he lost two family members.

Although both died in his hands...

But it was all the clown's fault!

Ming Ge's eyes were filled with violence, and he used his toes to saw off one of the old king's arms.

Does the clown want to rely on this incompetent guy to attack him... That's really ridiculous.

But thinking about the clown's threats and the old king's character, this old guy might really feel a sense of responsibility and directly attack with the remaining forces.

After venting, Ming Ge began to think about the clown's purpose again.

He is always unexpected...

It's impossible to rely on this old guy, so what is the other party's intention?

...He wants me to kill the old king to shake the people's hearts?

This is the only possibility Ming Ge can think of.

But if it's just like this, isn't it too much to underestimate the control of my family over the kingdom?

All those who disobeyed were eventually turned into toy dolls by Sucrose through her ability, and everything related to them would be forgotten together.

Would the clown not know this?

Mingge frowned. He didn't like this passive feeling. He preferred to be a maze designer, stuffing challengers into a maze with no exit and watching their desperate wailing expressions.

After thinking for a while.

He squatted down, stepped on the slowly coagulating blood in his toe shoes, took off his broken sunglasses, and said to the old king:

"Take your weapons and go to the King's Highland."

"Before dawn, I want to see you standing at the highest point of the palace."

He wanted to see, when the old king stood at the highest point, would the flying ship full of explosives that the clown said really appear?

The most important point is that Mingge is still confident in his own strength. After all, he is also a strong man close to the top of the sea.

And it's not that he didn't fight the clown last time.

In summary, although it was an unexpected surprise, overall, he was not stronger than him.

This is why he was particularly calm in the face of the clown's game.

It's confidence.

King Riku fell to the ground with a strange look in his eyes.

What has provoked this pirate?

He asked me if I had ever seen a clown, and then he asked me to take up my weapons and return to my homeland...

Is he crazy? !

"Of course you can refuse."

In some ways, Mingo and Buggy have similar bad tastes.

"It's just that there is a clown who thinks that if he can't see you before dawn, he will blow up this kingdom."

"That's a demon, you should have heard of it."

The information didn't know at which stage it went wrong. Anyway, when it came to King Riku, it had become a plan to destroy the entire kingdom.

King Riku raised his head suddenly, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.

...

...

Port.

The dark green camouflage warships and sailboats with various pirate flags were lined up side by side, and there was a strange harmony.

"Haha, no entry or exit, this is the first time I have heard such an unreasonable request."

Hancock just stood on the deck of the ship.

He glanced at it.

The people of the fighting group were petrified.

She had been in the New World for more than two months, and everyone treated her with respect wherever she went. This was the first time she had seen a situation like Dressrosa.

"What should we do, Master Diamante? We can't stop the Empress at all."

Diamante's mouth twitched.

He didn't dare to approach at all.

He knew himself very well.

But Dover's orders had to be carried out...

"Why don't we just release the second news, so they can understand it?"

"also."

Diamanti hesitated for a while, then nodded.

Dover's order is more important.

As for the damage that this group of pirates may cause if they enter the country...I think Dover can understand it.

shouted through a loudspeaker:

"You can dock, but you can't leave."

"The clown is on the island, we can't give him a chance to leave!"

"If you want an artificial Devil Fruit factory, just trade Bucky the Clown's head for it!"

"This is Dover's order!"

Bucky the Clown…

Hancock's originally turned figure suddenly froze.

He's right here! ?

The empress felt a burst of joy at first. She had never felt that someone like a clown died, but she didn't expect that the encounter would be so sudden.

But then, Hancock's face showed panic again.

"He's right here, but what do I want him to say?"

"You were so brave when you bombed the Holy Land. Can I join you?"

"No, no, this is too risqué."

"Why don't you imitate his laughter?"

"I wonder what he thinks of slaves?"

"What should I do? What should I say? Is he nearby?"

Hancock's face was as red as a boiling kettle.

"Sister-sama, what's wrong with you!!"

"Sanda, help me think about it..."

The second child of the three Gorgon sisters came forward and saw that the empress' head was steaming as if it was overloaded, and she was still muttering about clowns.

The night passed quickly.

Even the last few minutes of moonlight slowly dissipated, and in the short period of time when it met the sunlight, the darkness was particularly deep.

Doflamingo stood at the gate of the palace, his expression equally gloomy.

"Pika, what do you mean?"

"What's the meaning!?"

Pika, one of the top cadres, is tall and strong, with bronze skin and armor similar to that of a Spartan warrior, but a gold version.

But his voice was high-pitched, more like a clamp than a clamp.

There was a strange air of yin and yang in his voice when he asked back while holding his voice.

All of a sudden, veins appeared on Brother Ming's forehead.

"Do you think we will still be deceived by you?"

"Young Master has already exposed your identity, don't try to show off with this attitude again."

"You're just a mean thief!"

Pika looked stern.

"Little Lord?"

"thief!?"

Brother Ming's finger bones were twitching continuously, and his eyes were extremely terrifying.

The corners of his mouth were raised a little bit.

No need to think too much, there is only one person who can do this.

"clown!!!"

Dawn and roar come at the same time.

When the first ray of sunlight shines down, the five-colored thread slides down from the sky, like an ax struck by a giant.

The palace city standing in front of Brother Ming was neatly divided.

Bucky sat on the throne, one foot on the armrest, his elbow on the other side and his cheek, bleary-eyed.

"I thought you weren't coming back."

"Seriously, I'd be disappointed."

Behind him stood the cadres of the Don Quixote family.

Jorah and Sugar from the Club Army, Gladius and Buffalo from the Spades Army, and Monet who once took orders from him.

Plus the janitor Pika.

I'm back home. I used my phone to code on the high-speed train today. If you see any typos, leave a message and I'll correct them right away. I'm sorry.
