One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

Chapter 191: Flag Raising

Sure enough, a simple explosion can make people feel at ease.

Bucky narrowed his eyes, feeling deeply pleased with the harmony in his mind.

Look, how can we be mentally ill?

He didn't pay much attention to the fight between Guan Ji and his group at the moment after the suppression.

I glanced around and saw a tavern.

A corner of the folding door of the tavern was missing, and there was an obvious creaking sound when pushed.

This is much easier to use than hanging a bell.

There were only three or two tables inside, with many scratches on them.

There are four or five high chairs placed on one side of the bar.

Bucky sat at the bar and tapped his fingers a few times.

A bearded old man trotted over from outside.

His face was very clean, but there was a lot of blood on his trousers.

Before running over, you could still vaguely hear the sounds of a few arguments.

"That's a real devil, why do you still want to get closer?"

"I don't even know how many people he killed!"

"I don't care. Once you enter the tavern, you are just a guest. How can there be no one to entertain the guests?"

This should be the figure of the old man.

The other party trotted into the bar, wiped the table with a gray cotton cloth, and then put it on his shoulders.

After a few movements, the trembling hands and feet became much calmer.

It's like returning to your home court.

"What do the guests want to drink?"

"There's ale and a little rum, not much more, just two bottles left."

I heard that pirates have a terrible drinking capacity, so the bearded old man said a few words in advance to avoid blaming others later.

The Kingdom of Lulucia is already poor, and drinking a little malt wine from time to time is a good pastime.

Few people order rum.

"A malt bar, then."

Bucky nodded his chin.

There is no rush to leave just yet.

The navy has just had a conflict with the Big Mom Pirates, so it is good to be able to squeeze out a fleet so quickly.

No one can come in a short time.

Of course, the main reason is that Bucky is in a much better mood now.

You have time to consider whether to continue waiting for the news you want, or to get involved in the war on the Flying Squirrel first.

Flying Squirrel's call was an unexpected surprise. He was mainly waiting for news from Zefa.

On the contrary, there was nothing about Wano that could arouse his interest, just a few nails sprinkled here and there.

“How does it feel to put on the mask?”

The old man poured a glass of brown ale into the barrel at the back, and a layer of white foam floated on it.

Hearing Bucky's words, he chuckled again.

"I'm more courageous. It seems I dare to do anything."

What he said was very true.

The arrogant tone of the aristocratic men has suppressed them for several generations and is deeply ingrained.

With the addition of island countries, the place is so big and there are few outsiders, so the perception formed is even stronger.

If he hadn't been forced to the point where he couldn't live, if the clown hadn't cut off the face of the world government,

They really may not have the courage to do such a thing.

Bucky didn't drink in a hurry, and even had an elegant tone.

He is very different from the lunatic rumored outside.

Including those eyes, they don't move around frivolously, but are very calm.

Shen Jing felt that this should be a certain master.

Well, these are all based on the premise that the Joker is not interested in them.

Seeing this, the old man felt inexplicably uneasy.

He picked up the gray cloth and wiped it on the wine barrel.

Find something to do to calm him down.

"This island is ready to fly your flag if you wish."

The tavern owner cannot turn a blind eye to the guests, which is the reason the old man gave himself.

And this sentence is what drives him.

Plant the flag.

Become a subordinate of a certain pirate.

This was the survival of the islands and nations along the Great Line.

The bearded old man could see clearly.

Their victory at this time is only temporary. To survive on the sea, except for a few countries that are tough on their own, most countries have to unite under a certain flag.

The Kingdom of Lulucia was originally a member of the World Government, flying the flag of the Navy and receiving the blessing of the Navy.

But they overturned all that.

Then he becomes a soft persimmon in the eyes of pirates.

After robbing a place where no one is looking for trouble, why are you so polite?

Therefore, taking shelter under the banner of the big pirate became their way of survival.

Of course, clown is not a good choice.

He is so capable of attracting hatred.

But he also has a vicious reputation.

If the clown flag is hung, other pirates may not have the guts to provoke him.

The demon clown is still very bluffing.

When the value expands to a certain level, the corresponding impact changes are also obvious. For most bounty hunters and pirates, they will still give it a try at 2 billion, but they will be particularly calm at 3.9 billion.

Moreover, the navy wants to save face and will not take the initiative to attack the people for no reason.

This is what the old man came up with.

It has been brewing since I met the Joker.

There is no way, they don't know Kaido and Red Hair, and there is nothing in the kingdom that can attract the aunt of all nations.

All we can say is that it’s the lesser of two evils.

I just hope this clown's appetite isn't as scary as the Draco's.

The so-called world of the strong has always been so realistic for ordinary people like them.

I was lucky to meet the clown at this time.

Otherwise, they would not be able to stop the might of the naval fleet just now.

Once Guan Ji regains power.

According to the violent temper of the former king, the rebels will probably be sold as slaves.

"Well, that should be exciting."

Hearing this, Buggy couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

This is a path he had never imagined.

After all, he had never spent time to manage any power. Most of the time, he just did it casually, and his first priority was to satisfy his inner boredom.

From time to time, he teased the World Government and the Navy.

He liked people who claimed to be righteous the most.

Maybe we can play a little game?

But the premise is that they have enough gunpowder.

"That depends on what you can give me in return."

Buggy brought up the reality.

Planting the flag is just a game.

But.

"You can't do something you are good at for nothing."

In this regard, Buggy is still very realistic.

Especially when he is not so bored.

This made the bearded old man feel relieved. What he feared most was that the clown was a madman who couldn't talk to him.

Then there was no point in saying anything.

It just so happened that a lot of good things were found in the king's castle.

He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a man outside the tavern walk in quickly.

The man had a strong smell of blood on him, which suppressed the old man's words.

He looked familiar.

It seemed to be the navy who had always been with the king?

After the man pushed open the folding door, he didn't say anything.

He knelt down in front of the clown, holding a knife in both hands.

There were still pieces of blood and flesh on the knife.

"Haha, I guessed it was the king."

Buggy tilted his head and smiled coldly.

The game had an unexpected result.

But it just so happened that he also needed some help.

"Congratulations, you have joined our promising gang."

He didn't take the knife, but patted the other person on the shoulder.

Oh!

Master style!

He already heard someone praising him in his head.

Then, he drank the wine glass again and turned to the bearded old man and said.

"I think you can start preparing my reward. Believe me, it will be worth it!"

He is a responsible clown.

If you say you want to plant a flag, it must not be as simple as just planting a flag.

So Buggy stayed in the town for about a week longer.

It was the same sunny day as a week ago.

The light sprinkled straight down, like a layer of golden gauze, and it was even a little hot when it covered the body.

But the bearded old man felt a chill in his heart.

"Old Robert, you have to give an explanation for this matter!"

"Yes, that... Pirate Lord, is he really here to plant a flag?"

"Is he really not going to kidnap us?"

The bearded old man was surrounded by the people, his old face wrinkled into a piece, and he was obviously very worried.

He wanted to explain, but everyone's worry was not fake at all.

"He brought that navy man yesterday and buried a box of black stuff in front of my house, and also put a lot of thin wires that I couldn't understand..."

"He told me that it was something that would blow my whole family up!"

"It's so scary. I haven't even dared to go in these two days."

A woman's face was full of fear, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"This..."

Old Robert, the old man with a big beard, was silent for a while.

It's really scary to bury explosives in front of someone's door.

But what's more scary is that Bucky did this in front of more than just one family.

He did this in the entire port city!

Some were buried, but many were directly standing on the street.

The black shell was scary.

Even Old Robert was scared.

I've never heard of flags being planted like this!

"Then you go and tell Mr. Clown?"

Old Robert was also angry and asked everyone directly.

They would have agreed together, why are they looking for him alone now?

When he asked this, the people who had gathered around him fell silent.

The Joker is not someone they can invite or send away at will.

Even the World Government can't do it!

Besides, Buggy is in high spirits now.

When he walked to the door of the tavern, he clapped his hands.

"Material restrictions, let's just do this for now."

"It seems that our show has made everyone a little... well, impatient."

He glanced at them with a playful look, and the people buried their heads, not even daring to look at each other.

In the past, the perception of the Joker was the arrogant and crazy appearance on the live broadcast, newspapers, and bounty notices.

These are still a bit far away.

And now the perception of the Joker is that he blew up a naval fleet in an instant while having fun, and forced a group of Guanji people to kill each other.

It makes people extremely scared.

"Bucky... Sir, I wonder how the experiment you mentioned is completed?"

It was still Old Robert who asked with his head down.

He felt that he was stepping on a barrel of explosives.

"It's ready."

Bucky pursed his lips, "Hmm... the power should be enough to blow up the whole town."

"Don't worry, I've done this a lot, I'm very skilled."

You have to do what you're good at.

Bucky's best skill is making explosives.

"Are you interested in blowing it up?"

He threw a red button over.

It was a very ordinary switch, but there was a smiley face on the button.

It was his business card.

"Blow it up!?"

"Don't, don't give it to me!"

The red button was thrown around in a panic.

"Don't give it to me either, I don't want to be a prisoner!"

The button was of inferior quality, and after being thrown several times, it fell to the ground in vain.

It made a crisp sound.

"Cracked?"

Old Robert's eyes widened. He was the one who knew the clown best!

A group of people lowered their heads and looked at the broken button. They felt their hearts being grabbed, and the beating sound was particularly clear.

"Should it be... okay?"

They were not sure.

Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed on the broken button!

It was like squeezing the grabbed heart suddenly.

Everyone's face was instantly filled with extreme fear, and they opened their mouths but couldn't make a sound, as if they heard a deafening roar coming from their side.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I like your expressions at this moment."

"It's so funny!"

Well, all they heard was the clown's merciless laughter.

It was a false alarm.

Almost everyone had a blush on their faces.

The performance just now was really ridiculous.

Especially when no one dared to take the red button.

"Relax."

"It won't explode so soon before our experiment is completed."

After laughing with his hands on his stomach, Buggy waved his hands again.

"What is the experiment like?"

"Yeah! Good question!"

The clown nodded, very satisfied with this instant joke, and glanced sideways, it seemed to be a guy with a cigar in his mouth.

"Well, I just want to see, when they..." Buggy pointed at Old Robert and others, "when they hold weapons that can kill the pirates or the navy or when they land on the island, they may be killed, what will they do?"

He tilted his head, with the corners of his mouth raised high.

He took out a much more delicate button from his arms.

"Well, I call it the Deterrence Era."

"Are you interested in seeing its effects?"

"Don't worry, I've already marked it in a prominent position on the dock."

The Deterrence Era... This game was learned by Buggy from his college student memories.

It's just a small experiment in the Kingdom of Lulucia.

After all, pirates are often irrational.

It's easy to get carried away.

In order to keep their heads calm, Buggy exposed a lot of explosives that could be hidden.

Of course, there are more hidden.

It depends on whether the pirates have the courage.
