One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

The sunset glow yesterday was bright red, but now the sky is gloomy.

The sunlight that briefly appeared in the early morning was covered by mist again. However, when you look up in the Flower City, you don’t see a half-bright and half-dark sky, but a mountain or island flying over.

The island stretches for hundreds of miles, covering half of the sky, and weighing heavily on the hearts of every resident.

I don’t know if Kaido intended it, but when Onigashima floated over the Flower City, its speed slowed down a lot, as if to leave time for the residents of this town to escape or consider.

Or maybe it was to let the fear slowly brew.

In fact, they had nowhere to escape.

From Kaido’s perspective high above the island, you can see that members of the Beast Pirates are coming from all over Wano Country.

Except for the Flower City, most of this country is under the control of pirates.

The floating Onigashima is the signal for the call. The loss of the two big bosses is heartbreaking, but he still has the powerful Flying Six to use.

Of course, this also includes the residents below.

"It has come to this point, and it is no different from directly launching the plan." The majestic Qinglong whispered a few words, then raised his head, flew over the ghost island, and soon arrived above the Orochi Castle.

Plans can never keep up with changes. He originally wanted to wait until the day of the Fire Festival, but now it seems unnecessary.

With the death of the little ghost of the Kozuki family, the country was completely taken into his hands, and the Orochi was no longer needed as a cover.

The so-called samurai hibernated for twenty years without any splash, so why bother.

The dragon's body was winding and circling, like a scene in a myth. The Qinglong half-closed his eyes, and his majesty was immeasurable.

Then a huge roar was heard throughout the Flower City.

"Orochi, come out to see me!"

Orochi Castle is the center of the Flower City. There is a semicircular square in front of the general's mansion. Streets radiate from this semicircle. Houses are lined up one after another. Although they are different in height, they are all arranged according to the direction of the road.

Cherry blossoms are blooming between green bricks and tiles, and pink petals are also flowing under the eaves and windowsills.

Putting aside the people with pale faces and thin bodies, who only have a piece of coarse cloth to cover their bodies, this should be a good tourist attraction.

Buggy picked his ears and said, "Don't make loud noises in tourist attractions."

"Your father is really rude."

"Indeed." Yamato nodded, "Lord Orochi is the general of a country anyway. It's really presumptuous for my father to call him by his name."

"Does the diary mention these things?"

Yamato actually never met Oden. Her impression of Oden came from the diary she got from his retainers, which had been turned into curls by her.

"No, this is what the daimyo who were imprisoned by my father said."

The daimyo only mentioned the etiquette for the general. As for the noble family, what is that?

Yamato was very indifferent to the old man's head that Buggy threw to the end of the alley like garbage.

"It seems that Mr. Kai's family education is particularly unsuccessful." Baki pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression amused.

Yamato frowned and remained silent, thinking about whether he was a failure.

This is a contradictory question.

In a few words, the two had already walked to the border of the flower street.

The two rows of houses facing each other were full of lanterns of various colors. There were not many people here. After all, it was early morning, the quietest time of the flower street.

Unlike the panic scenes in other blocks, it was still quiet here.

Even if a few prostitutes occasionally passed by in small steps, they looked very quiet.

"Guests, Sister Xiao Zi is waiting for you."

Baki didn't take two steps before he met a girl dressed as a page boy, bending down to greet him.

"It seems that there is no need to waste any more words." Baki smiled back and said to the page boy: "By the way, I like your smile."

The page boy Xiaohu always had an extremely happy smile on his face, and there was no other emotional expression.

Hearing what Baki said, he also laughed, but it seemed that one or two tears came out of the corners of his eyes, and then he led them to the largest teahouse on the street.

Tea ceremony is also one of the must-learn contents for the girls.

"How did she know we were coming?"

Yamato felt that this servant was a little strange, and was a little puzzled.

Her idea of ​​following Baki was much simpler.

Since Baki believed that the one who killed the heir of the Kozuki family would be their retainer, then following Baki should also be able to see the retainer of the Kozuki family, right?

It's better than staying on the ghost island.

Things in the outside world are very fresh to her.

Baki ignored her, twisted his neck, and looked at the teahouse with interest. He had tried his best to restrain himself, although the word restraint is hard for a clown to imagine.

But he was indeed in this state. If he was too impatient, the fun he could get would be reduced a lot.

The teahouse was empty, and the wicks of the candlesticks had been extinguished long ago. They followed Xiaohu through the teahouse and saw the oiran after two corridors.

She had long, beautiful emerald hair, tied back in a bun and tied with a headband, sitting cross-legged.

She looked pretty, but the wide cuffs of her embroidered kimono were rolled up, and her smooth arms held a pipe.

She was a perfect combination of softness and ruggedness.

She looked like a leopard woman in a suit.

The courtesan's eyes also approached.

She glanced at Baki with a look that seemed full of contempt.

"You want me to help you find someone?"

This is a particularly sobering morning. Whether it’s the loud noise coming from the coast at night and the iron ball falling from the sky, or the ghost island held up by the flaming clouds hovering over Wano Country, it’s enough to make people laugh. Come in spirit.

Two people who came down from Onigashima were looking for someone or a samurai, and Fujiwara Takaie recommended him.

Xiaozi learned the news before Bucky arrived.

"Yes, I think you should know where that person is. I have something I want to talk to him about."

"What a coincidence, I also have something to talk to you about."

"Oh - that's really rare, but I like it very much. Compared to the scene where you yelled after I showed up, I like your current expression better."

Bucky showed no restraint or politeness at all. He even looked around a few times as he spoke, looking quite curious at the courtyard outside the wooden corridor.

Then he sat cross-legged on the floor.

He tapped his fingers on the tatami a few times, "You can tell me your little plan first."

Unruly guy!

Xiao Zi did not hide the impatience in her eyes, which was part of her personality, but clapped her hands.

A group of warriors with swords and tied hair came out of the compartment and surrounded Bucky and the two without saying a word.

It seems that you want to create a terrifying atmosphere to scare the other party. This is a very useful little trick in negotiations.

Xiao Zi blew out a smoke ring and restrained her wildness, her expression full of arrogance.

She did not answer Bucky's question, but continued:

"Now can you tell me what happened on Onigashima? The purple mist that won't go away, the loud noise in the early morning, and now, why did Onigashima float here? What on earth does that guy Kaido want to do?!"

What happened that night was completely unknown to them. To put it figuratively speaking, they were like a group of ants busy on the road who suddenly had a basin of water poured on their heads.

The sudden disaster was completely unpredictable, and even this disaster had never been considered by them.

These two people must know something, which can at least alleviate the fear of this unknown drastic change.

It's just that Xiao Zi didn't expect that not only was she not frightened by the specially created atmosphere, but the expression on her face was actually... Can't help but laugh?

"Pfft hahahahahaha..."

The clown's laughter was unabashed. He was enjoying this feeling. After all, this should be a great joke.

But after laughing for a while, he wiped away his tears and patiently answered the oiran's questions.

"You have so many questions, but let's take them one by one."

He clasped his hands together as if coaxing a child to sleep, "Let's talk about Purple Mist first. Well... I call him Little Caitou. It's an interesting thing that can drive Kaido's legions of esper into madness."

"That's right, I did it." Bucky's face showed pride. Very few people would take the initiative to ask themselves these questions.

Don't they know that if they ask, they will be told?

I am not one of those conspirators hiding in the shadows.

"...Why?" Xiao Zi's eyes suddenly widened. She felt that the person opposite was not lying.

"Of course it's to say hello to the Emperor of the Sea!" Bucky's voice was much louder. It was not easy to meet someone who admired him.

"Obviously, he noticed me right away."

"What about the loud noise? What's going on with the loud noise?"

"Ah... well, that's just a little arrangement made by my little team. Did you see the small iron ball falling from the sky? It's that thing.

When necessary, it will explode. "

Bucky opened his hands and imagined the grand scene of explosions, which made him feel a sense of peace every time.

All the noise in the world turns to peace with a loud noise.

Well, maybe he is the only one who thinks so.

Xiao Zi's expression was much uglier.

What is a small arrangement...

This is obviously a bomb with terrifying power!

Who is this!

Who has their country provoked? !

Xiao Zi feels that such people are by no means ordinary people in the outside world. It's just that the policy of isolation from the country has limited their access to information, and there is no way to understand this.

But thinking of so many bombs scattered across the country, Xiao Zi's face suddenly turned pale, and her arrogant posture softened a little bit like her waist.

"last question."

She bowed and said, "What does Kaido want to do?"

In fact, this is the most pressing issue at the moment.

Their plan to rescue Momonosuke had just taken shape, and Kaido's sudden arrival cast a shadow over the whole thing.

Facing this man, the warriors were heartbroken.

Bucky still liked her unruly look just now, and wondered if he should let her recover a little.

However, after Yamato glanced at the clown, he answered first: "He will establish a new pirate empire, which means that Wano will be completely destroyed."

"In this cruel sea, things that cannot keep up with the times will always be eliminated, right?"

Bucky followed.

He could see that the oiran's body suddenly trembled, and the faces of the surrounding warriors suddenly became as gloomy as water.

"Elimination... No, we can't be eliminated. There must be a way. My father said that someone will definitely come to save this country in twenty years... Twenty years have passed now..."

Xiao Zi lowered her head and muttered to herself.

In the distance, on the Chambord Islands.

Luffy, who had just finished the trial, was carrying a large bag that could cover all of his people, and stopped under a bulletin board.

The bulletin board was a bounty for the evil clown worth 3.96 billion Baileys.

The portrait on the bounty was the clown's face with a wild grin, bloodstains on his face, and his red nose and goat horns were particularly eye-catching.

And the background was an extremely large mechanical structure half-hidden in the mist.

The mechanical structure dropped several straight beams of light, flattening the mountains and valleys.

Below the image, a row of black fonts read "ONLY DEAD".

This was the perspective of the Den Den Mushi caught by the clown in the Kingdom of Prodans. The World Government felt that it could well show the horror of the clown.

Luffy turned his head again, and on the side of the bulletin board, a group of guys wearing clown masks held a wealthy businessman hostage and were holding a public auction.

What happened in this world?

Luffy tried to think.

Hiss, no, it seems that I am going to grow a brain.

But it seems that it has not grown.

"Can we get back to our original topic now?"

In the backyard of the teahouse, Baki tilted his head and found their expressions quite interesting.

"Yes..."

Xiao Zi didn't know how to describe it. She couldn't keep up with the clown's logic. She wanted to ask why, but her upbringing restrained her.

"If you want to find someone, as long as they are in the Flower City, we can help you find them."

"No, you just need to bring a message for me." Baki's fingers tapped again, and the gentle echo attracted everyone's attention.

What this person said was too absurd, but it might be true.

That would be scary.

"If everything goes as expected, your companion, Kin'emon, should have arrived on the island by now, perhaps in the Flower City."

Baki smiled, as if he saw how Kin'emon felt when he found out that the young master he had been trying to put together for so long turned out to be a paper man.

"Give him a message for me."

"Kozuki Momonosuke has two ways to die, corresponding to two results."

"If he dies in a cauldron, the people of this country will be crushed to death by the shadow above their heads.

If he dies at the hands of his retainers, this country can still survive.

As for how to choose, it's his business. I don't like to force people, but we can be more figurative and call this choice a choice between selfishness and justice.

Ah... This must be very interesting!"

This time, not only Xiao Zi and others widened their eyes, but even Yamato was shocked. This guy also hid this trick? !

When did he establish contact with those samurai? ?

No, no, maybe Momonosuke's arrest is also related to this guy!

Also,

Isn't there an option to stay alive! ?
