One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 111 Everything is as expected [4000 words]

The top of Fishman Island.

Dragon Palace City.

The yellowish sunlight fell from above, and a giant oriental dragon hovered between the tall towers, its golden scales shining brightly, its dragon head opened its mouth wide, and below it was the Dragon Palace Lord's Castle.

But there was no life in his eyes.

The conical eaves are covered with red tiles, and ten Roman columns stand under the slightly raised edge.

This is what the top layer looks like.

There are three floors in the Dragon Palace City, and the height of each floor varies from dozens of meters. The number of Roman columns also increases from ten to dozens or even hundreds.

Coral reefs and shellfish climb on it, and huge turtles serve as a roof.

The deep sea, which should have been dark, was illuminated by the roots of the sun tree, and the deep-sea fish swimming slowly outside the bubbles became the best background for the castle.

Inside Dragon Palace City.

Neptune folded his hands and closed his eyes.

His throne was carved from a huge stone, with the armrests and backrest covered with purple satin, and luxurious gold was the best decoration of the throne.

But none of these could calm him down.

The occasional noisy cheers coming from the square added a bit of annoyance to his mood.

The sunlight had turned from blinding to the same orange-red color as his curly hair and beard.

Dusk is approaching.

His choice should be very clear.

He doesn't even need to take responsibility. He just needs to follow the will of the people and declare Fishman Street illegal.

But he always felt uneasy.

The left minister and the prince went to the square to appease the people, and Neptune finally no longer felt the urgency of being chased to make a choice.

But the tendency to choose still makes him a little scared.

"Otohime, what would you do?" Neptune lowered his head and murmured.

He is not as determined as Otohime, nor does he have the open mind like Tiger.

Neptune was even more stingy.

So while the two were still there, he didn't choose either path, but he didn't reject either one.

It was not until Otohime was killed that Neptune inherited his wife's will and began to live in peace with humans.

But he was also very indignant about humans' discrimination against mermen and mermaids, so he unilaterally severed ties with humans.

Now he has to choose for himself.
You can definitely think about it again. Things shouldn't just have these two choices, and the world isn't black and white.

Neptune consoled himself.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly stood up on the throne and shook his head in annoyance.

Just walk towards the Hard Shell Tower.

His daughter had the same keen observation Haki as the princess, and perhaps she could give him better advice.

If human eyes were knives, Bucky would have been cut into pieces by now.

More and more mermaids gathered in the square.

Many of them looked at Bucky with a mixture of fear and hatred.

They hated the person who destroyed their peaceful life, but were also somewhat afraid of his madness.

The king's army also guarded the periphery of the fish school, like a net.

And Bucky became the hollow center of this network.

He sat cross-legged and watched everything quietly.

Some bored fingers kept tapping on the bricks and stones of the square.

Once those dark eyes were placed on the mermaids who hated him, they would unconsciously shrink their necks.

However, some passionate and unrestrained mermaid ladies would tease back in response to this look.

But then he would be pulled by his partner.

"This is not the Mermaid Bay, be reserved!"

“But it’s also Fishman Island.” Miss Mermaid muttered softly, then looked at Buggy with curious eyes.

Among the mermaids, there were also mermaids like the clothing store manager who had suffered property losses. They held up a sign and shouted that they wanted to cut ties with Mermaid Street.

The pirates at most catch mermaids and murlocs, but these thugs really affect their business.

"Where is Fishman Street?"

"I don't know. I just heard it's a very barbaric place."

“Is there such a place in the country?”

"Didn't Yu Renjie get kidnapped? Where can I pay the ransom?"

Those who have had experience in grassroots work should know that it is very troublesome to make everyone understand one thing.

Moreover, the places where direct conflicts occurred were mainly concentrated in the Coral Hills, and the mermaids in other places did not really understand the situation.

So Buggy didn't expect that one broadcast would be enough to make all the mermaids understand the situation.

But it doesn't matter.

They will understand.

Bucky’s mouth twitched silently.

In front of him was a video Den Den Mushi whose signal had been cut off.

I sniffed my nose, not knowing how to imitate a puppet.

"Why is he still here?!"

The left minister, who had just arrived at the square, screamed in fear.

He never expected that this extremely arrogant kidnapper would dare to stay there!

Shouldn't a normal kidnapper hide in a dark corner after notifying the family members and wait to make a deal with them?

Why is this person still so arrogant?!
If he had known that this person was here, the Left Minister would never have notified the people to gather here.

However, judging from the results, most mermaids support cutting ties with the murlocs.

Although both are of the same race, mermaids and fishmen even live in different places, not to mention the Fishman Street at the bottom of Fishman Island.

Most people have never heard of mermaids.

“I thought you knew.”

The fishman guard lowered his head and said.

After all, this person has never left since the broadcast began.

The left minister was furious, "Then why don't you arrest the culprit!"

“No one said they were going to arrest him.”

The fishman guard responded with his head down, saying that most of the kingdom's army were strong fishmen, who were much stronger than ordinary pirates.

Including the two former bosses of Yuman Street, both are elite in the army.

Unfortunately, Neptune was unable to keep any of them.

As he spoke, the guard handed over another bounty warrant with a waterproof film on it.

It was exactly Buggy's bounty, but it was a version that was released right after the end of the Battle of Marineford.

This is what the pirates who came to Fishman Island carried with them.

"1.2 billion Baileys!!"

The Left Minister yelled again, then turned around silently.

"Prepare some tea and dessert for this pirate, so that I can discuss something with him later."

"Oh."

The fishman guard looked accustomed to it.

This minister behaved in the same way when the BIGMOM Pirates came.

The Left Minister let him go.

Buggy didn't bother to care about him. After all, this puppet's body would be exposed if it got hit.

Although he doesn't care, it's not good if it affects the game effect.

The Left Minister first comforted the people in the square and stated that King Neptune would show up as soon as dusk came.

I will follow everyone's advice and formally cut ties with the group of thugs in Fishman Street.

For the Left Minister, this is the best solution.

There is no need to worry about anything. As long as that group of thugs are cut off, Fishman Island can still have the protection of the two royal forces.

The sunlight gradually changed from orange to crimson.

A touch of red glow hung in the deep sea ten thousand meters below.

Can Yangshu reflect even this?
Buggy really didn't pay attention to any trees when he was in the Red Earth Continent.

Just thinking about having fun.

"My fellow citizens."

As if it was agreed, when the red clouds hung in the sky, Neptune's face also appeared on the huge screen in front of the square. Buggy glanced at it and saw Jinbei and the fishmen rushing over.

Seeing so many people in the square, the anger on his face had not yet faded.

"Just as predicted!"

Mrs. Charlie, the blue shark mermaid, is also on the square.

But she did not approve of such a ridiculous act as cutting up Fishman Street.

Charlie's one eye under her short black hair was always looking at Bucky's figure.

"Everything has begun to change. Fishman Island will have a new chapter. The prophecy of destruction no longer exists."

Xia Li was wearing a purple cloak and holding a crystal ball in her arms.

Long time ago, she predicted that Fishman Island would be destroyed by outsiders.

At that time, King Neptune personally guarded the entrance to Fishman Island.

Unexpectedly, Roger and his gang showed up.

The content of the prophecy was also confirmed to be a misunderstanding. At least at that time, there would be no crisis on Fishman Island.

But Charlie was always worried.

Every time she prophesied about Fishman Island, she saw scenes of destruction.

Until I met Bucky in the cafe, the prophecy changed.

The scene that was originally filled with flames and explosions turned into Buggy standing alone at the top of Fishman Island.

The dream island still exists.

The scene that frightened Charlie the most was not noticed.

The prophecy has been changed
"Something particularly sad happened in the country today."

In the picture, Neptune's words are sad, but his hesitant posture is gone.

"A clown, a character labeled as a demon by the world government, an enemy of the world!"

His voice was heavy, and his eyes seemed to be fixed on Bucky in the hollow of the square.

Neptune took out another brand new bounty order.

The Navy had just issued a bounty of 3 billion yuan some time ago.

"Devil Clown!"

"He illegally invaded our country, kidnapped fellow Fishman Streeters, and bewitched their minds!"

"."

Fishman Street.

Robin, who happened to be walking here, saw the live broadcast.

As if he suddenly remembered something, his face became awkward.

"Devil Clown. The World Government really gives random titles."

How would this devil's daughter address the other person next time she sees him?

She lowered her eyes and placed her palms on the floor of Fishman Street.

It didn't feel like a street to her, but more like a boat.

Is the entire street paved with ship wood? That would be a bit too extravagant.

on the square.

When the Left Minister heard the words "devil clown", his heart skipped a beat.

The person is still here, why are you provoking him?

More importantly, I'm still here!

He didn't even have time to be surprised by the huge gap from 1.2 billion to 3 billion, and he just suddenly shrank behind the guard.

"Yes."

"My fellow citizens, our fellow citizens in Fishman Street are not thugs. They were only bewitched by the clowns and attacked you, Pirate Lord, and damaged everyone's property."

"I guarantee this in the name of the king!"

"."

"So that's it!"

"I was wondering why the fish people suddenly became so depressed."

"It's all because of that human pirate."

"Three billion, how many mermaids can you buy? It's really scary!"

Neptune's words were powerful.

It doesn't seem like something he came up with on his own, but more like someone instigated him.

Including the bounty order and the information about him, these were not things that Neptune, who had unilaterally severed ties with the human world, could know.

Bucky's eyes narrowed.

It seems that he was not too disappointed after all, and the game can enter the second stage.

His eyes turned to Jinbe and his group at the edge of the square.

They arrived in such a hurry that it was obviously impossible for them to get a good seat.

However, Neptune's voice finally eased the expression of the former Shichibukai.

But my hands and feet still feel a little cold.

"The Ice Ghost virus is still a virus with an incubation period."

"That fat guy is not completely useless."

Bucky thought to himself that the puppet body he separated out was not the only one in the square.

All the stock that Jacques had during this period was used up.

The biggest feature of this virus is that those infected will attack others without distinguishing between friend or foe until they die.

Combined with Neptune's high-sounding attitude at this time.

"Get ready to drink to crime."

He grinned. This twisted world kept asking him to do righteous things. Now he finally encountered a job that was evil enough.

He doesn't mind shouldering all the sins and blood.

Just as he believed, in the midst of extreme chaos, there would be true fairness.

"I hereby declare!"

In the picture, Neptune holds up a finely carved trident, a symbol of his power.

"Bucky the Clown is the most vicious criminal in the country and has been sentenced to death."

"The Kingdom's protector, the respected Big Mom Pirates will arrest him!"

A long-legged woman appears in the picture.

Smoothie's expression was calm, and his silver-white lips touched each other twice.

"kill him."

"Pirates?!"

Following Smoothie's order.

Suddenly, a large number of pirates surrounded the square.

The flag belonging to the BIGMOM Pirates also began to fly.

The skull with bright red lips seemed to be declaring that it was the final winner.

Offscreen.

Neptune let out a long sigh, temporarily turned off the video Den Den Mushi, and turned to look at the images transmitted back by the Den Den Mushi in the square.

They were in the connecting corridor of Ryugu Castle.

It is a special corridor used exclusively for communication.

This is better than either of those two results.
His eyes turned.

"Don't forget, all the fishmen in Fishman Street will go to work in the dessert factory, and we will also station a pirate group on the island."

This is the price.

Neptune smiled wryly and nodded.

My daughter Shirahoshi was hiding nearby, her eyes looking a little timid.

He first went to his daughter's hard shell tower and had a conversation with Shirahoshi. Unexpectedly, he met Smoothie from the BIGMOM Pirates when he just came out.

The guards of his own Dragon Palace City were like nothing in front of the other party.

So we have the scene we see now.

"I'm a little scared, father."

Bai Xing shrank his head, but the bad feeling in his heart did not subside at all.

In the picture coming from the square, Bucky, who was in the center, had his head chopped off by Smoothie's sisters.

The skull bounced a few times in the square.

Everything went as planned.
