One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

"What's going on over there with Blackbeard?"

"Are you trying to fool us?"

"It shouldn't be. Intelligence from the CP organization shows that they are indeed near the Kingdom of Prodence, and the Dark Fruit can indeed kill the clown."

"But will Blackbeard do as he is told?"

In addition to the top decision-making of the Five Old Stars in the World Government, various officials are naturally indispensable as the backbone.

A few of the key positions are occupied by Tianlong people, while most of the executive positions are officials and nobles selected from various participating countries.

Being able to live in Mariejoia is also a carrot that the Tianlong people dangle in front of these nobles.

Besides this carrot, there is a bigger, unspeakable carrot hanging.

However, compared to the Celestial Dragons, these noble bureaucrats are finally more realistic.

Then I heard an official in his fifties wearing a monocle snorted coldly.

"Have you forgotten about the Shichibukai?"

"Pirates, treacherous and capricious people!"

"It seems that they have given us very generous conditions, and they may be thinking of teaming up with the clowns to blackmail us behind the scenes!"

Pasquale Marino is the second political officer under the scientific defense god of war, Satan, and is no stranger to pirates' schemes.

What he said also happened during the war.

Blackbeard traded Ace with the World Government in exchange for a position in the Shichibukai.

At that time, Blackbeard was just a pirate on Whitebeard's ship who was not even a captain, and was hunted down by the Whitebeard Pirates in various ways.

The World Government simply believed this guy's words.

Using Ace's head, the war on top was launched.

Unexpectedly, Shichibukai was just a springboard for Lao Hei.

After he successfully entered the underwater prison through this identity, he recruited the most vicious criminals on the sixth floor and also stole Whitebeard's fruit power during the war on top.

In just two years, the power has expanded rapidly, and they are almost running towards the throne of the Four Emperors.

There was just one incident left that would make his name resound across the sea.

"makes sense."

"If the pirates don't keep their promises, we don't have to keep them either."

"Just let that guy delay for a while. Kizaru and the others should be arriving soon."

Other officials nodded to this.

They were scolded a lot when they were stabbed in the back by Blackbeard last time.

"Report!"

"Strong seismic signals have been detected around the world, and sea levels have risen by approximately one meter!"

"The first experimental strike of the Virgin Flame was successful!"

It didn't take long for the person responsible for monitoring to pass on the news.

The power of this ancient weapon restored by Vegapunk is truly terrifying!

Even the sea level has risen by one meter. You can imagine what will happen to the places directly affected!

It would be great if we could catch both the Joker and Blackbeard in one fell swoop. These two newly rising guys have caused countless troubles in more than a year.

"Can the Virgin Flame be allowed to return to Hong Kong? The power rock stored above should not be enough to strike again."

"Trying..."

Hearing this, the technician looked bitter.

Although the Virgin Flame was restored by Vegapunk, it was obtained by the World Government through other means, and its control is not strong.

"What do you mean you're trying!"

"Our Lady of Flames can't make mistakes, otherwise we will all have to get out of the Holy Land and return to the mediocre world!"

Several officials suddenly lost their temper.

There are also different levels between nobles, but the nobles who can stay in Mariejoia are inherently higher than the nobles of other countries.

The sense of superiority comes from comparison.

"We also know...but the report says that there is a problem with the movement system of the Virgin Flame, and there is no way to solve it through remote means."

"And...it seems to have gotten out of control."

The technician was very nervous when he said this.

Not only was he worried about the Virgin Flame being out of control, but it was also because of the person who was closest to the weapon.

clown…

It wasn't just the technicians who thought about this problem. After hearing that they were out of control, all the officials' expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"The Holy Land... won't be in danger, right?"

An official asked with a stiff face.

But no one could answer him.

Clown.

It felt like the weapon would appear in the sky above Mariejoia the next moment.

Then he laughed at them with his harsh and arrogant laughter.

It's not that they are unfounded.

But the clown can really do it!

…

…

Bucky has no plans for this yet.

He was still standing on a small piece of highland that was no more than 200 square meters in size. Well, it was called highland because before dawn, it was the top of a high mountain with a continuous town below.

Now.

Now there is a steeper mini-island.

Bucky stood on the edge of the island, looking down into the abyss of the waterfall.

The impact of the Holy Mother's Flame, which had been accumulated for a long time, directly melted most of the island, forming a spectacular sea waterfall on the sea.

If it hadn't been for the collision with the Ark, there probably wouldn't even be the place under Bucky's feet.

"What a surprise!"

He clapped his hands, his face full of a different kind of expectation.

He was never afraid of the power of the weapons, only that they were not powerful enough.

"A kingdom is gone just like that..."

Perhaps infected by Bucky's previous loneliness, Monet suddenly felt a little sad and sad.

Her wings were gently folded, and her upper body was a vest with a clown's smiling face printed on it, revealing her fair and smooth skin through two thin suspenders.

Her lower body was a pair of aqua blue jeans, which wrapped her long and strong legs.

She sat cross-legged, with her bare feet together, as if she was still worried about not being able to transform her feet into bird claws.

Her eyes were filled with the bottomless sea waterfall in front of her.

The ant looked up and saw the stars in the sky, which lasted for thousands of years, while the ant lowered its head and not even a shell was left.

She felt so insignificant at the moment.

"Why are you so serious?"

The clown seemed to sense her emotions, turned around, and lifted the corners of her mouth with two fingers.

Monet's pupils were green, and with a pair of wings, she really had a weird beauty.

But Bucky's focus was not on appreciating this kind of beauty.

"Smile."

"You know, when I was little, I was very afraid of the dark, so afraid that I couldn't sleep alone."

"My mother would say at that time, smile, and you won't be afraid if you smile."

"Of course, I know she just doesn't want to pay attention to a weird kid like me."

Baki stopped and touched his red nose.

This thing is actually innate!

"She can't wait to go to the casino and have fun, after I smiled and pretended to sleep."

Monet smiled gently.

"So at that time I was thinking...

How to...

How to make her afraid of such darkness?

How to make them become like me.

This way she will stay with me forever."

"But you have to smile first."

"Hehehehehe..."

Baki smiled softly with the corners of his mouth.

Monet laughed with him, and the insignificance caused by the magnificent landscape was gently dispelled by the laughter, and the joy in his heart was like a funnel.

Laughing and leaking.

...

The people of the World Government have been worried for nearly half a month.

The fleet led by Kizaru encountered a tsunami, which delayed them for a long time.

When they arrived near the Kingdom of Prodans, they only saw a very spectacular sea waterfall and a small island.

Picked up a playing card on the island.

The Joker's card, with a number on it, seemed to be expecting the World Government to call him.

And the officials have been studying to divide the holy land into multiple places, so as to avoid being wiped out by the Joker.

This plan was killed by the Five Elders.

The Celestial Dragons have not suffered such humiliation for 800 years!

The Five Elders wanted to clean up, but the influence of the Joker has begun to show.

In the original plot, the Eight-Nation Revolution was caused by the Revolutionary Army, and it was detonated in advance under the influence of the Joker and the Double Heavenly Gold.

People who broke out in repression were afraid of being retaliated afterwards, so they all chose to wear clown masks.

The World Economic News Agency of Morgans exaggerated the matter, with a tabloid every day and a big newspaper every three days.

The most common ones are, "The Joker is vying for the throne of the Four Emperors", "The Worst Generation is the Joker Generation", and "The World Government Pills!"

Morgans, who has escaped the control of the World Government, writes reports recklessly.

There is even a story about Im serialized in the newspaper.

This is originally a sick world. When the Joker tears off the mask of the World Government, the hypocritical order becomes a joke.

The world is also sick.

"I am sick too."

Crazy Sand said in front of Buggy.

Holding a cigar, his eyes showed habitual contempt.

"There are two and a half people with dual abilities in the world, one is Blackbeard, one is you, and the other half is that monster."

The blue sky and the sea are in a line, white clouds float between this line of sky, and they are above the white clouds.

The wind is more noisy than on the sea.

Others have taken a step forward, but he is still standing there and can't get in. This is the disease of Crazy Sand.

"Have you caught up with Doflamingo?"

Baki is not surprised by the obsession in Crazy Sand's eyes.

For an ambitious person, such invisible things are the most troubling.

After Dressrosa, Buggy went to G1 to cooperate with Zephyr, while Lao Sha and Moriah chased Mingo.

By the way, they also packed up Lucci and his gang.

Just kidding, for a person like Lao Sha, how could he not eat the meat in his mouth.

If he doesn't eat it, he can only feed it to the dog.

"Kaido's people got it first."

"But without scientists like Quinn and Caesar, Kaido has no idea about dual abilities."

Lao Sha is also observing the Joker.

In addition to the dual fruits, he also remembered that the Joker once mentioned that he wanted to cooperate in the development of Pluto.

This ally is very important.

Even though he knew the other party's madness, especially with Moriah's lesson in front, Lao Sha still came alone.

But the Joker didn't look as crazy as the outside world said, but was very calm.

Well, weird calmness.

He separated his hands and feet and played cards like three people.

The remaining body part was not easy to take the cards, so I used the gas lasso to circle the cards, and was especially careful not to let the hands and feet on both sides see it.

One foot was really peeking!

Lao Sha's mouth twitched.

He continued: "So they invited the Vinsmoke family."

"Well, so what do you mean by saying this?"

"Are you encouraging me to go to Kaido's hometown to play?"

Buggy pursed his lips and played ten and one.

It's National Day, and my hands need to rest for seven rounds.

He and his feet don't use it.

Lao Sha couldn't understand what cards they were playing.

Weird and chaotic.

But to be honest, he did have this idea.

The Joker's bounty has risen to 3.96 billion Baileys, and he is only one short of defeating the veteran Yonko.

But the Joker fights only a handful of times.

The alternation between the old and the new is also a good opportunity for Lao Sha to rapidly expand his power.

I originally thought Bucky would be interested in dual abilities.

The leap from 0 to 1 has been achieved by him, why not try to be compatible with one more Devil Fruit?

Blackbeard, who had survived the catastrophe, was once again hunting for ability users in the sea, but there were missing several familiar figures around him.

"Then tell me something that interests you."

Lao Sha jumped down from the side of the boat and straightened the corners of his coat.

"Moria and I plan to launch a war, a war that will bring us back to the top of the sea."

"The target is Wano Country!"

He never saw himself as the Joker's henchman.

They are not only allies against those established forces, but also competitors.

The position of the Four Emperors, and even the position of the Pirate King.

Lao Sha was seriously ill.

Still sick early.

After all, he had the guts to stand up to strong men like Whitebeard and Akainu.

"Well, I finally heard something interesting."

Bucky's lips curled up slightly.

It was not that he had never thought about what Lao Sha mentioned. He had done many experiments with Caesar during this period.

But there is always a feeling that something is missing.

It's like feeling full, full, and unable to get anything in.

Several Devil Fruits were wasted.

Bucky thought it might be the upper limit of the gas fruit itself, so he recently set his sights on Blackbeard.

Can Dark Fruit break through this boundary?

Or refer to Blackbeard's body and transform yourself?

These are all ideas and need to be verified.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

When he said this, Bucky regained a little familiar feeling.

It seemed like when I was in Gotham City, when I faced that group of gangsters.

"But... the things you are good at must not be done in vain."

"We all think so."

His hands and feet shook up and down.

I had a lot of fun playing the game last time. The clown was still in the CD stage, so I wasn’t too anxious.

Just like when he was in Arkham, if he got bored, he would go out and pick some random people in the audience to make some fun.

But after the game is over, he will be back in Arkham Asylum, lying on his bed looking at the gray ceiling.

Even the deepest and most oppressive darkness cannot move him, because he himself is sinking into it.

Lao Sha took a deep breath of his cigar.

He raised his head and looked at the big iron ball following Ark.

Just this thing made the World Government dig holes everywhere like a smoked field mouse during this period, and it was extremely nervous.

"I found out something."

"Wano Country, there may be clues about Hades."

When he said this, Lao Sha's eyes turned back and glanced at a familiar figure.

But nothing was said.

"Whether you participate or not."

"Both the guy playing with the corpse and I will attack."

"There will be great opportunities in the future, and neither the navy nor the aunt has time to pay attention to us."

"But as long as you participate, you can share half of the harvest."

"Also, there is some news."

"The guy who was playing with corpses picked up a child at sea and claimed to be Kozuki Oden's son. He was followed by his retainers."
