One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

When the King's Game was popular in Dressrosa.

In a certain sea area in the New World, a hunt had just ended.

In the night sky, wisps of black smoke floated up, the sea breeze mixed with flames licked the sails, and the wooden decks burst and twisted in the firelight, screaming desperately.

"Thief hahaha!"

The laughter of Blackbeard Teach was arrogant and piercing.

"The old times are completely over, and you old guys must learn to give way."

"Bramanque, my captain, you must also learn to see the current situation clearly."

The one he stepped on was the former captain of the Sixth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He was his former companion, and now the remnant of Whitebeard.

Both of them were of the kind of fat that could be awarded a Guinness World Record if thrown on a normal earth, but in this sea.

It can only be said to be normal.

In the past, the two often compared their sizes.

After all, Teach at that time was just a strange boy without ambition, who was law-abiding but didn't need to sleep.

To Whitebeard and his gang, he was a companion.

"We all misjudged you." Bramanc's tone was filled with hatred.

If I had known that this guy was such an ambitious person...

Dad and Ace should have hated him like this, right?

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Now he is the one being trampled underfoot.

This sudden hunt soon came to an end.

"Thief, the Bag-Bag Fruit is also a very practical ability!"

After a while.

Teach left the slowly sinking pirate ship with a brand new devil fruit in his hand.

"Soon, all our cadres will be capable people."

After the end of the war on the top, Teach's plan was mostly achieved, and he entered a period of rapid expansion of power.

Hunting capable people wantonly on the sea.

"The devil awakens, my choice is indeed right!"

After forbearing for decades, Blackbeard did not have the patience to cultivate his own power bit by bit like those old four emperors. The fastest way for him to achieve his ambitions was to quickly create cadres who could stand on their own through devil fruits!

Their goal has always been the whole world.

Moreover, the theory of devil awakening has further increased the upper limit of devil fruit.

"Captain, who is our next target?"

Catherine followed Blackbeard and licked his cheek with her tongue.

A force in a period of rapid growth like this is suitable for fugitives like them.

"But we should pay attention to this intelligence first."

Sniper Van Oka followed, carrying a sniper rifle on his shoulder and wearing a monocular.

Holding a piece of thin paper in his hand.

As long as it is an ambitious force, intelligence work cannot be ignored. Teach wants to hunt the capable people on the sea, so intelligence work is naturally indispensable.

However, the Black Group is only buying intelligence in the underground world at this time, so there will be some lag.

The thin paper is not thick, but it lists all the very important matters on the sea in the near future, and it is divided into special matters and general matters according to Teach's requirements.

Special matters of concern 1:

Akainu led the newly established Fire Bat Corps to attack Mysteria Island under Kaido, and had a brief contact with the Flame Disaster Jin, and the specific situation of the battle is unknown.

Afterwards, the Beasts Pirates withdrew from Mysteria Island.

Special attention item 2:

The Donquixote family was completely destroyed, and Buggy the Clown was resurrected. It is speculated that he has the abilities of the Split Fruit and the Gas Fruit (Note: The target may have left Dressrosa seven days ago, suspected to be tracking the Flamingo)

Special attention item 3:

The new fishman pirate group Princess Shirahoshi accepted the order of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it can be confirmed that the other party is the Sea King, one of the three ancient weapons!

General matters:

The naval recruitment in the New World region will be the responsibility of the Navy G1 Branch Base and will be carried out in the near future.

The monster "Flamingo" appeared in the Kingdom of Mogara ten days ago, and its whereabouts are unknown.

…

Swish.

The thin paper was grabbed by Teach's palm.

"The second one, and the third one."

Family members know their own business.

He can have two devil fruit abilities at the same time, more relying on his own special bloodline, but what do these two people rely on?

His eyes were full of fear.

But his mouth was fearless.

"Haha, this sea is getting more and more interesting."

"Captain, why don't we go find that monster as our next target? The Vincent Mork family has offered 2 billion in the underground world."

"They're almost catching up with you, Captain."

Catlin still looked eager.

She had suffered too much in the underwater prison when she couldn't kill people.

Blackbeard's bounty at this time was 2.2476 billion Baileys, both in decimal and in whole.

By the way, Buggy's bounty has increased a little, to 3.2 billion Baileys.

A Don Quixote family will not make his bounty change much. Compared with the things in the Holy Land, this matter is too small.

But he is already the pirate with the highest bounty under the Four Emperors.

"No, I don't want to confront the Joker so soon."

"Let's go see the new Shichibukai!"

It's not difficult for Blackbeard to settle this account.

Although Shirahoshi's ability as a sea king is terrifying, multiple intelligence sources have confirmed that the princess's temper is just that of a naughty child.

The risk is not as high as it seems, but the benefits are unexpectedly high. Blackbeard is not willing to let go of any of the three ancient weapons.

But the clown is different.

While the risks are extremely high, the returns are still a question mark.

Maybe at some point, even the people and the island were bombed.

…

…

"Want to play a game?"

Smelly taverns are often the liveliest places in town, especially in the New World.

Similar to the Magic Valley Town in the Paradise section, this is also a pirate town that no one cares about.

However, there are more such towns in the New World, so many that they have no names. Maybe they are just some small towns that were robbed by pirates and then occupied by unknown people.

The flag in the center of the town also changes every five days.

There are drunken pirates in the tavern 24 hours a day.

"Red nose, you...you have a red nose too?"

Sinai's face was flushed and he spoke with a loud tongue.

First he was confused, then he shook his head in denial.

"Hahahaha, how is this possible?"

"How could a pirate like the Joker be in a small town like ours?"

"Still alone."

"Boy, don't think you can escape the drink tax this way!"

"We are the Wine Barrel Pirates!"

Although he was in a semi-drunk state, it did not prevent Sinai from carrying out one of the most traditional projects of mankind, secret robbery.

In the name of taxation.

The reason why pirates in the New World are keen on planting flags and occupying territory is largely for profit.

It can't be for charity, right?

Treasures must also be buried by pirates.

The New World is not a paradise. This is a paradise for pirates. The merchant ships that can sail in the New World all have sky-high backgrounds.

Can't afford it.

The risk is too high if you steal from your peers. You might end up in trouble if you're not careful.

It's better to be safe than collecting toll money.

After the Wine Barrel Pirates took over this town, they couldn't wait to collect taxes from every outsider. The name didn't matter, just make one up now.

"Hahahaha, what an unfortunate red nose."

"I've met three red noses this month, but they all squeezed out a lot of Baileys!"

"Now I finally caught one for Sinai!"

The people in the tavern were already used to this scene, and they were still shouting and making noises.

"That's a shame."

Bucky was very familiar with this atmosphere.

Just like the gangsters who gather in certain streets and alleys, they are always good at distinguishing which ones are outsiders and which ones are locals, which ones are fat sheep and which ones are tough stubble.

"But I've done too many things like this."

Bucky has little interest in this game.

He considered himself a more tasteful criminal.

"Why don't we do something interesting."

Bucky took off his head and placed it in Sinai's hand.

"Why don't you take my head and claim the bounty from the Navy? The G1 branch should not be far away, and you should have white gloves like this in your hands..."

"Thirty-two billion beli, I remember that's the price."

"We can split it in half afterwards."

"Believe me, this must be a rare share."

"Look, I didn't even hide it at all, but I was very sincere."

"You just need to hold my head, walk to the door of the base, and knock on the door. It's not difficult."

"Just leave the rest to me."

Sinai looked at the head in his hand that was still chattering, and his head suddenly froze.

The noisy tavern suddenly became eerily quiet.

The sound of a few drops of wine dripping onto the wooden board was particularly clear.

A clown with a red nose is not necessarily a clown, but one who can take off his own head is definitely a clown.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

Sinai put the head on with trembling hands, and her blushing face suddenly turned pale.

Then he turned around and ran away.

In a few breaths, everyone in the tavern was almost gone.

The Joker is different from other pirate forces. Not only has it never recruited new people, but the places the Joker has led, except for Dressrosa recently, have all been bombed.

"Hahaha, it seems our game can't continue."

"You say so, White Hunter."

The noisy people ran away, and the interesting people became visible.

"It seems your notoriety has spread far and wide."

Smoker was still used to smoking a cigar, but he couldn't blow out the smoke ring.

"To make a long story short."

"We intend to exploit the World Government's sensitivity to you."

He lowered his head, not wanting to have too much contact with the clown.

"We...well, this title interests me more than your plan."

Bucky had a weird smile on his face.

He is not surprised that Zefa betrayed the navy, but at this juncture, Smoker has been standing with Zefa, which is interesting.

Smoker's mouth twitched.

I will become like this now...

Blame the clown?

He just let himself know the truth.

It's just that Smoker himself can't accept the truth.

This is not the justice he wants.

On this point, Zefa is on the same side.

"How about we call it the New Marine? This reminds me of some past events. Oh yes, plus that guy Akainu, it becomes a lot more lively!"

Bucky clapped his hands, sounding like he was coaxing a child.

The tearing apart of the navy is like the opposition between Akainu and Aokiji, destined to be irreconcilable.

Real people and ideal people always coexist.

The flag of justice is too big, and the Five Elders can no longer cover it.

"That batch of power rocks should have just arrived at the G1 branch. As long as you appear near here, the sensitive World Government will seize the time to transfer this batch of power rocks."

"This will conflict with the recent recruitment plan, and high-end combat power cannot be taken into account."

The pirates may not understand it deeply, but as a navy, Smoker knows very well that the World Government and the Navy itself are paying more attention to the Joker.

Even above the other three veteran Four Emperors.

After all, they are not out of line.

Only the Joker is different.

"I understand, I understand!"

Buggy nodded repeatedly, and Smoker's words were enough. At this stage, Zefa's pirate guerrillas are still within the scope of the navy.

In addition, as a former admiral, Zefa has the right to know about the power rocks.

If there is an unexpected situation, it is likely to be directly recruited.

"I like this plan, but it may need to be slightly adjusted in terms of movement."

Buggy put his hands together and spoke very calmly.

"Don't worry, it'll just be a little bigger."

"I like big scenes."

He looked at Smoker with a meaningful look.

A little seed of justice.

But is there any way to make the general who doesn't kill recover?

Build a tower of blocks, and then destroy him bit by bit...

The mature clown has learned to make fun for himself.

He then turned his eyes.

There was a timid sound of footsteps outside the tavern.

A middle-aged man with rotten teeth pushed through the wooden door, his steps trembling.

Baki had some impression of him, an inconspicuous person among the people who had just drunk.

"Does what you said just now still count?"

"I...I don't expect a 50-50 split, just 10%, 10% is enough!"

Javier said in a panic.

Let alone a pirate worth billions, even a pirate worth tens of millions would be a very remarkable existence for them.

"And I don't have a bounty...I...I'm just a white glove."

His fingers were thick, the kind that come from playing cards for a long time.

This is a gambler...

Baki quickly judged it.

"Of course."

"But I think you need to prepare a box that is comfortable enough to place my head. No, no, no, don't use that kind of cloth."

Baki pointed at the gray cloth with several layers of grease in the other person's hand and shook his head repeatedly.

"I understand, I understand!"

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"I have children, two very cute little girls, but I don't want them to live like me. I want to send them to the member countries. It will be much better to have an identity as a person!"

Javier stretched out his palm and said very actively.

This news is not good for him. Family... has always been a burden to pirates. They will not say that the family will not be affected.

In order to find Roger's bloodline, the World Government killed all the babies born during that period.

But he took the initiative to explain these things, which made the other party more trustworthy.

Javier is a gambler.

He bet that this time he would be able to win back all his previous losses.

Then he would never touch this thing again.

He swore!
