One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

"This is best."

Bucky chuckled a few times, "You can definitely do it."

As he spoke, the headless body took a few steps forward, swayed, and stood in front of Javier.

The orange sunlight shone in from behind the door and window, stretching his shadow extremely long. The shadow of a knife turned and stuck to Javier's face.

Cool.

His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

It's like I'm standing on the devil's gambling table, betting my whole life on being rich and powerful.

Javier's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling.

10% of 3.2 billion beli!

Bet, bet!

He threw away the rag and wiped his hands vigorously on the inside of his wrist, the cleanest place on his body.

Then take the head.

There was no bloody feeling at the incision, it was very smooth, but the look on the head seemed to penetrate into people's hearts.

"Trust me hehehe."

Bucky said again.

Javier is very honest.

In other words, he is a qualified gambler. As long as he is on the card table, he will ignore it.

"Do you have a boat or a canoe?"

"No...no."

He had already found a clean box, wrapped it with two layers of red satin, and placed Bucky's head inside.

His body was already spotless.

Hearing Bucky's question, his heart skipped a beat again.

Javier used to own a ship, and he was also a pirate, but later he was shipwrecked, and he was the only one among his shipmates to survive.

Not even the reward list was revealed.

After landing, he was frustrated and found a prostitute to accompany him.

But the pirate's nature makes this guy unable to settle down at all.

Like a beast that has tasted human blood.

I just couldn't rob others, and there was no place to steal. I no longer had the courage to go to sea again. In the end, I found the excitement at the gambling table.

He had gambled everything away.

A suitably sized box and two pieces of clean red satin were enough for him to put all his effort into.

"Then I suggest you hurry up and grab one."

"It will be gone in a while."

"What do you mean?" Javier was stunned for a moment.

"You haven't heard of the legend of the clown. It's in the newspapers."

Bucky turned his head and found a comfortable position.

"Wherever the clown walks, all that's left is blood and fire."

"What a slander. I obviously left a lot of interesting things behind."

He looked unhappy, then turned his eyes again, and grabbed a red switch with one hand and put it in Javier's hand.

"Why do you have to be so serious?"

"Like me."

"Smile."

In the box, the corners of the clown's mouth were raised, and his toothy smile was particularly bright.

Javier grinned.

"Then flip the switch."

He did so.

In the town, there was a sudden loud noise, the roof tiles were lifted by the fire, and black smoke suddenly billowed.

"Yes, you did it."

Bucky took the knife in time.

"You have nothing to lose anyway, right."

Before Javier could refute, another fire shot up into the sky, and the aftermath even hit him.

Boat, boat!

The loud noise seemed to wake him up, and he ran wildly holding the box.

"The boat shouldn't be too big, just a small one. I can paddle it directly. It's not far from the naval base."

"Mitra and the others live outside the town and will be fine."

At the pier.

The sudden loud noise attracted the attention of these thieves. For a moment, no one noticed Javier's panicked voice.

He found a ferry boat, untied the cable, and swung the oar from side to side.

"Javier, what are you doing, you little brat!"

The owner of the boat came to his senses and immediately saw that it was a gambling dog in the town. He yelled and cursed unceremoniously.

"If you dare to steal my ship, aren't you afraid that our Barrel Pirates will chop off all your fingers?"

"And there are those two bastards of yours!"

The owner of the boat yelled and cursed, but Javier paddled faster.

His lips were dry and white, and the teeth inside were dark yellow.

There should be a cigarette by this time.

"I bet, I bet everything!"

Javier couldn't find a cigarette, so he could only deal with the regret or fear that arose in his heart.

He is nothing, not even a bounty, but he wants to exchange the bounty with a pirate who has a bounty of 3.2 billion beli!

"How long will it continue to explode?"

He had already rowed some distance away, and the owner of the boat was still yelling and cursing, trying to find another boat to catch up, but a sudden explosion next to him forced him to run away with his head in his hands.

The explosions in the town continue.

"You pressed the switch, you ask me?"

"It's up to you how much more you want to explode."

Bucky curled his lips and said softly.

If Javier is willing to bet, then he doesn't mind letting the other party make a bigger bet and make the other party feel a little more burdened.

"Then..." Javier swallowed, his eyes flickering, it was him who pressed the switch...

"Let's wait until it's all blown up."

"Hahahaha, I like this answer."

"Not until the explosion is over!"

Bucky sneered a few times, and the explosions in the town continued like firecrackers.

He liked the sound of it.

All it takes is a ball of gas and a spark.

Looking at it this way, the choice of Gas Fruit is indeed good.

There are also childlike fruits…

Bucky hasn't swallowed the fruit yet. He's afraid that he might be able to hold on until, well, his brain will explode.

Oh, yes, he is a devil now, and he may not even have a brain.

Hahaha, a new joke.

I like this.

You should look for Blackbeard first, preferably if you can cut it open and study it. The Haimies have always thought that this guy can eat more than two Devil Fruits.

That is the potential that can be studied.

This is his own aspect, Bucky is not in a hurry yet.

He doesn't mind external forces either.

The air here is so good, it would be a pity not to get some power rocks to explode!

…

"Sir, we are here."

Javier said respectfully to the box.

The orange sunshine has fallen, the bright moonlight shines down, and the water surface is sparkling.

The boat rested on the shore.

There is obviously more order on the island where the navy is stationed. After nightfall, you can still see sporadic lights on in the towns not far away.

If it were a town where pirates planted their flags, it would still be party time with lights on.

The base with the navy logo is on the left side of the town. The location is obviously better there. There is a circular bay with three warships moored.

The lighthouse turned like a pillar of light, sweeping across the sea.

"well done."

Bucky praised a few words, and outside the box, a ball of gas gathered, forming the shape of a body, a headless body, and then walked towards the base.

"Sir, you...what is he going to do?"

"For fun, of course."

"Be happy, you're here to get paid."

Bucky guided the other party and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Yes, keep that smile, then go to the base door, knock politely three times, like this, dong dong dong, and then when you see people, say, the clown's head has been delivered, and there is a reward of 3.2 billion. , we agreed to get 19 points hahahaha.”

This is a lunatic…

Javier had cold sweat on his forehead and was scared to death, but he still followed the clown's instructions and approached the base gate.

If he wasn't a madman, how could he have taken off his own head and exchanged it for a reward...

The place where they docked was on the back of the island. There were shallow rocks and shallow water, so it was not suitable for a port.

Fortunately, there was no one there.

Javier shook his head thankfully, hugged the box to his chest, and started running.

It's already dark. I wonder if the base will still accept bounty hunters?

Javier can't wait any longer, and Joker has no intention of doing so.

He went into town.

There were scattered lights on the streets at night, and navy soldiers in white uniforms walked by the light from time to time.

This is the new world, the G1 branch of the Navy.

It was the first nail they laid in this pirate-ridden world, connecting the red earth continent behind and Mariejoia above.

Its status in the navy is only that of the newly rebuilt headquarters.

It also has extraordinary significance for world government.

The long-term stable environment and convenient transportation have made the streets here particularly wide, with houses on both sides lined up side by side. Javier feels that every street is bigger than his original town.

At first, Javier instinctively avoided the patrolling navy, but he only realized it after being laughed at twice by the clown.

There's no bounty on him at all. He's a pirate who didn't even get a bounty on him. Damn it.

He is now a bounty hunter.

He encouraged himself.

Boldly walked up to the navy.

Before he could speak, he was directly restrained by several soldiers.

There is no other reason. Javier’s image is too bad and he shows up in the middle of the night. It would be right to arrest such a person.

"Wait, I'm a bounty hunter!"

"I brought a pirate's head!"

He shouted repeatedly, but several marines still had doubts in their eyes.

Javier feels like he stepped outside the Joker script, in an unexpected way.

He was directly captured by several marines and taken back to the base.

Locked in a prison with only dim lights.

"If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Just stay here tonight!"

The ranked officer said with a sideways face.

Their footsteps faded away.

You can still vaguely hear a childish voice asking:

"Boss, if this person is really a bounty hunter, wouldn't it be right for us to imprison him for no reason?"

"Oh, you damn bounty hunter!"

The navy officer with military rank could see it more clearly, "That's a hyena, I don't know where I touched its head!"

"Your Excellency, Colonel, is still busy with recruiting troops and has no time to pay attention to this hyena. Or do you want to disturb Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel?"

"Don't dare..."

The handyman lowered his head and replied weakly.

There are at least a few thousand people in a naval base. Of course, it is impossible for the flying squirrel to see everything. There are also middle-level officers who come to bear the corresponding part.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow when the Colonel is free."

"Well, it's only been half a month since the conscription. I haven't seen many strong people, but there are quite a few old, weak, sick and disabled."

The officer shook his head and talked about something that happened during the day.

"I saw an old blind man come over today and said he wanted to join the army. It really made me laugh."

The sound became farther and farther away, and Javier's face became more and more bitter.

His ability is definitely not enough to escape from this prison. In this case, he will continue to suffer at the gambling table.

It was like, after playing the game, while waiting for the dealer to open the cup, the sexy dealer suddenly yawned and said that he was going to take a nap and wait until tomorrow to play the same game again.

So uncomfortable.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Then wait until tomorrow morning and try knocking on the door again."

"I think this happened tonight because you didn't knock on the door."

Baki gave him a serious suggestion.

If Javier knocked on the door seriously and still called the Joker.

Yeah, he promised.

The base will be in a state of emergency within three minutes.

This is similar to what Smoker and the others want, right?

As long as there is news of his appearance, the G1 branch will definitely keep dangerous objects such as power rocks away from the Joker.

This way, Zefa and the others will have a chance to find a place where a large amount of power rocks are stored or made.

The Navy has been reluctant to use this thing.

Maybe they are holding back.

A small amount of power rocks cannot impress the Joker, and he can achieve a similar effect by blowing himself up.

"Yes... yes."

Javier replied with a wry smile.

There are pros and cons to following a crazy boss.

The advantage is that it always makes people feel at ease.

There is nothing more dangerous except the crazy boss himself.

The downside is that there is no one to discuss it with.

Difficult!

Javier's eyes were still red, and he hugged the box with the head tightly. He was not afraid of being robbed, but he was more afraid that the head in the box would grow legs and run away.

This is not impossible.

In that case, he would really have nothing.

Javier had a face full of anxiety, but the oil lamp dimmed little by little.

The night was getting deeper and deeper.

The clown was still busy.

He always enriched himself in this way.

The headless bodies were doing their own things.

White mist also emerged from the sea, intertwined with the neon-colored air mass, forming a thick fog that even sunlight could not penetrate.

"Are you not opening the stall today?"

A blind uncle stepped on wooden clogs and poked the familiar wooden door with a stick in his hand.

This place should have been wide open.

"Don't you need to sleep if you are doing gambling?"

"It's not even dawn yet!"

The wooden door opened a small hole, and a head poked out, saying unceremoniously.

"It's not daybreak yet?"

"Are you kidding me, little brother?"

Yixiao was stunned. He woke up at this time every day. It should be bright now. Even if it's cloudy, the gambling den will still be open.

"Hey, I almost forgot you're blind!"

"I told you, it's still pitch black outside, I can't see anything!"

"I can definitely make up for two more hours of sleep!"

The servant felt very happy today.

It was the kind of happiness that wakes up unexpectedly in the early morning, but finds that you can sleep a few more hours.

"I have a bad feeling."

Leaving the gambling den, Yixiao tapped the soil and rocks with his cane, and he judged the direction by the sound.

"Let's go to the base. I didn't make it clear to the guys yesterday, so I have to show it off today."

In the thick fog, Yixiao only heard his own footsteps. The whole town seemed to have not woken up yet, and there was a dead silence in the dullness.

He followed the route he wrote down yesterday and walked to the small door next to the gate of the naval base.

He stretched out his hand and knocked three times in a row.

Dongdongdong——
