One Piece: Buggy the Clown from Arkham

"It's such a heavy fog, keep an eye on it!"

The one who shouted was the captain.

He wore a blue and white captain's hat and a beard. When he shouted, his face had clear grooves. His bronze skin looked like he was often blown by the sea breeze.

"Captain, the Hughes is not an antique, it is a masterpiece with the participation of that doctor!"

The sailor on the observation deck responded with a smile while climbing the ladder.

"Damn, this is a new world!"

"Give me some snacks, these are precious supplies that will be transported to Future Island!"

The captain cursed a few times, but he also had a relaxed smile on his face. This transport ship with the same name as him was modeled on a naval warship and was equipped with a laser cannon.

"Not to mention anything else. If there is any collision, the guys in the science class will nag them a lot."

"Don't worry, Captain!"

The white fog was thick and visibility dropped to extremely low.

Hughes first returned to the captain's room and checked the radar. After confirming that there was no deviation, he ordered the naval soldiers on the second deck to start patrolling along the front deck of the ship.

"The thick white mist... I seem to have heard of it somewhere?"

He went out along the porthole, and the thick white mist seemed to enter the deep night, and every small sound was amplified.

The undercurrent of the tide lapped against the iron-gray hull, the oars churned the sea water, and the white sails were printed with a seagull holding a scale in its mouth, which is the symbol of the navy.

There were faint sounds like fireworks in the mist.

Captain Hughes, who originally looked relaxed, suddenly became more solemn.

Fortunately, the sophisticated control console in front of him gave him confidence.

It was only after a while that Hughes decided to speed up.

He had been staring at the clock just now. They had been sailing in the white mist for at least two hours, and they hadn't even seen the edge yet.

"Dense fog is not uncommon in the New World, but such a large-scale and thick white fog is rare. Who did you hear that last time?"

Hughes muttered a few words and silently raised the speed of the transport ship to 37 knots, which was difficult for ordinary ships to achieve.

The ship's sails have long been stretched to the maximum, and now the power relies on the burning boiler at the stern.

He sat down on his wide spring leather chair and asked, "The time at the Battle of the Mist?"

"Isn't it possible...that demon clown?"

It was a naval battle that nearly destroyed the navy in a demon-slaying order. He had naturally heard about it, but in his impression, pirates like the Joker were far away from them.

Having said that, Hughes immediately raised his alertness to the highest level when he thought of this possibility.

The ship suddenly became serious, and the echo of the boots on the steel plate became louder. The lookout who had been smiling not long ago also stayed at his post, meticulous.

They all also realized that this white mist was a little unusual.

The dense fog brought an extremely depressing atmosphere, and only the sound of regular and loud footsteps could bring some comfort.

Hughes has already retrieved the logbook. After being transformed by the naval science class, his logbook is no longer a book, but an electronic panel that can be written by hand.

His eyes were burning, and his dark, rough face was a testament to his experience.

The information left in the logbook can be synchronized to the researchers of the Egghead science class at any time, which is a means of monitoring the Hughes.

At this time, the time and place when the transport ship entered the white fog were recorded, as well as Hughes' operation to increase the speed.

Hughes stopped recording the next step and looked through the porthole, staring at the thick fog that clung to the window.

He wanted to ensure that he could convey the situation immediately. Even if the clown arrived in person, the researchers at Future Island would be able to receive the news.

An attack...or a regular foggy day?

"Out!"

The white mist finally reached the edge and became thinner.

The blazing sunlight shone straight down.

The watchman's call immediately relaxed the tense nerves of the people on the transport ship.

The light...the light dispels the depression caused by the thick fog!

There was also the suspicion in Hughes's mind that he didn't dare to say.

"It's just an unusual weather event, but it's very common in the New World."

Hughes could already see sunlight, white clouds and blue sky through the porthole.

"It's just to scare yourself. The clown is going to cause trouble for the general or the Celestial Dragons. What does it have to do with us?"

After comforting myself for a few words.

Hughes' expression became serious again, displaying the dignity of a captain. On a ship, the captain always speaks the truth.

He walked to the gallery above the deckhouse.

Scanned the circle from top to bottom.

"Count the number of people and correct the course!"

"We will complete the task soon. Think more about the wonderful life on the island in the future!"

"Don't be scared out of your wits by just one mist, sailors!"

He cheered several times, not only to comfort the sailors, but also to comfort himself.

clown…

Hey, what does the clown have to do with them?

Hughes lowered his head and explained to the shadow on the deck:

"Major Yarrow Bucky, the job of counting the people will be left to you. Remember to arrange the people on duty!"

On the deck under the corridor, Bucky's body was slowly being pieced together, with parts coming from every sailor, including the captain.

The image is becoming clearer.

Bucky twitched the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The face was covered with pale paint, blending in with the skull on the forehead, the nose was red, and the lips seemed to be stained with blood.

Wearing a dark purple tuxedo and a navy white coat.

He found a white navy peaked cap from nowhere in his hand. With the other hand, he smoothed down his messy hair. He bowed slightly and put on the white navy peaked cap at the same time.

"I am very happy to serve you, Captain."

"There won't be any surprises, I promise."

Bucky flicked his peaked cap with his fingers, stood up and stepped lightly on the deck a few times, looking around.

"For a perfect invasion, I have to give it ten points, and the remaining ninety points will be deducted if there is no explosion."

The gas ability allows Bucky to easily perform operations like those in the Mist Sea Battle. Not only is his technique much more skillful, but he is also more comfortable in splitting and reorganizing the spiritual world.

This was due to his contact with Brother Ming, which gave him a new understanding of the soul.

We are also a rules system.

The development of abilities requires some imagination.

As for why I boarded this warship...

Still worried about the old spider's cowardice!

Future Island has a lot of technology that is beyond the times. It would be a bit hard to break in forcefully. Bucky thought it would be better to use a softer approach.

Not every island deserves a little boy.

Transport ships on missions are a good choice.

This was not Morgans' intelligence, it was discovered by the Sea Kings first, and then Bucky let the Dream Tapir come on and pulled the entire transport ship into the white mist.

Then he started to use his abilities.

Hmm...compared to the description in the bounty order, he is now more like a devil than a demon, but Bucky will not imprison himself in the trap of the two.

If wearing justice on his body would lead to constant counterattacks from "evil", he wouldn't mind doing it.

The premise is, that "evil" better be interesting.

In general, the sailors of the transport ship immediately accepted the fact that they had a major commander, and formed three long lines to receive the commander's review.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Major, the soldiers have been lined up!"

"176 people were supposed to be present, but 177 were actually present!"

The person speaking the report was also wearing a white coat. Judging from the collar badges on both shoulders, he was a lieutenant colonel.

Hughes's military rank was colonel.

The lieutenant colonel stood up and saluted the major and reported.

This is more or less contrary to Tiangang.

However, the soldiers and the lieutenant colonel all acted as if they were taking it for granted.

"Why is there one more?"

The Joker tapped his chin with his finger.

"Well...counting you, there is one more person."

"Count me in?"

"Lieutenant Colonel, did you count yourself one more time? I think you must have counted yourself twice!"

"how come?"

The lieutenant colonel was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw that he was divided into two halves in the middle, eyes facing each other.

“Look, you’re telling me if you’re counting yourself too much!”

The clown had a sneer on his face.

"...Yes, I actually made such a stupid mistake."

The lieutenant colonel should step down and cross out the record of 177 people and change it to 176 people who meet the requirements.

"Okay, let's talk about Future Island."

Bucky sat on the side of the boat and crossed his legs.

"What do you want to know?"

The lieutenant colonel had already arranged a patrol team, and after reporting to the science class that everything was normal, he returned to Bucky.

This is his own commander.

The image of the commander in his mind was what the clown looked like at this time.

"Well...let's make a hypothesis!"

Bucky raised his eyebrows and said with great interest: "What will happen if an invader attacks that island?"

"The sea beast weapons of Future Island will tear apart every invading ship!

It was a vicious weapon made by researchers based on sea beasts, with a body shape similar to that of a sea king. "

The lieutenant colonel immediately shook his head.

"It sounds impregnable."

Bucky joked that the Future Island incident had basically touched the edge of his memory. The college student had only traveled to the place where the old spider drove the magic circle to the island.

She's still single and doesn't even have any children or grandchildren to burn the finale.

But the edge also means the unknown. In addition to fear, the unknown also contains surprises.

So Bucky does not reject this kind of unknown. Just like before, he never had the idea of ​​letting the plot line follow the original path.

Time travel is Nika’s salvation, and after time travel, it’s still Nika’s old world.

Then didn’t he, the clown, come for nothing?

Of course, the most important thing is that it’s meaningless.

"Future Island has no record of attacks in its records. Only Mr. Atlas often causes trouble to the garrison soldiers."

The lieutenant colonel babbled, and then recounted all the information he had heard from researchers about "cat" technology.

These are the six clones that Vegapunk created in order to cope with his busy research work, and each inherited Vegapunk's six personalities.

Among them, Atlas is the avatar of "violence".

"But none of this will affect us. A new batch of defense navy will arrive soon."

Except for Kizaru and Senmomomaru, the other soldiers in Future Island's navy are not permanent, and the rotating personnel all come from the orders of the World Government.

"Sounds such a shame."

Bucky shook his head, "It's a pity that a technological island like Future Island is in the hands of the world government."

"Major!"

The lieutenant colonel suddenly widened his eyes, "In this case...even you can't say it!"

"I can't say it, so do you often think like this?"

"No, no, we are the navy, so naturally we have to obey the orders of the World Government."

"Hehe, why are you so serious, Lieutenant Colonel?"

"We are just joking."

"If I say I want to tie Saint Satan to a rocket and launch him into outer space, will you believe it?"

The Lieutenant Colonel's face was obviously frozen.

Blasphemy!

Too blasphemous!

His ears are dirty!

Buggy smiled and comforted him.

While patting the Lieutenant Colonel on the shoulder, he suddenly said: "But you can't say for sure... Maybe he will appear on the island stepping on a magic circle, and there will be a rocket that can be launched on the island..."

"Oh! Do you want to see fireworks?"

"I..."

The Lieutenant Colonel obviously couldn't handle such a topic, or he never dared to think about it.

The pirates didn't have the courage.

Buggy stopped talking and didn't continue on this topic.

Plant the seeds first, don't rush to sprout.

Wait for a suitable opportunity.

The expression on the Lieutenant Colonel's face was very interesting, at a loss and with some... excitement?

Fortunately, the lieutenant colonel did not say anything shocking again, but only asked about the situation on his island, including the distribution of researchers, pacifists, and the difference between the upper and lower levels of Future Island.

Some of them were unknown even to the lieutenant colonel.

The most certain issue was that the transport ship would arrive at Egerhead in two days, which is what people call Future Island.

"By the way, the materials we transported this time are Wapol alloys, which have only been developed in the past two years. This is a shape memory alloy, and it is said that the doctor is also very interested!"

The lieutenant colonel felt it necessary to let the lieutenant colonel recognize the importance of this transportation mission, and introduced it a few more sentences.

"Can you take me to see it?"

Buggy was very polite when he spoke, but he walked to the cabin first.

...

...

On the same route, the fleet of the World Government was also rushing, and branch warships that received orders from both sides gathered from time to time.

"Any news about the Joker?"

Satan Saint was not used to the sea breeze, so he just stayed in the conference room in the middle of the warship.

"According to the intelligence, the Joker should still be in Wano Country. An agent has seen him."

"Hmph!"

"If I see him again, I will never let him get away again!"

Satan Saint obviously still remembers the grudge in the Holy Land. The Joker was the first one to provoke him in front of him and escape unscathed.

He said harsh words, but his hand holding the wooden stick was much more relaxed.

"Is there no news from CP8 who went to Aighead to investigate?"

"Yes, sir."

"Including the previous CP6 and CP7, three waves of investigators have disappeared, and Aighead has shown a trend of being out of control."

The answering agent stood straight.

"Well..." Regarding Aighead, Satan Saint was very calm.

"Let CP0 handle it first. They should have arrived in Aighead now."

Without the Joker, this matter would not be difficult to do.

It's just that Vegapunk is involved in many things, and the research data is also very valuable. At the same time, it is in his area of ​​responsibility, so he decided to take charge personally.

He turned around and asked other questions.

"Has the rebellion in the Kingdom of Lulucia been quelled?"

"No, no, the clown has placed countless bombs on it..."

"It's destroyed."

"Humans are like ants, even if they perish, they will soon reproduce again."

Satan Saint didn't want to listen to the official's explanation at all, he just gave the order with a cold look.
