One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 126 Accept Yourself
When he heard about the new game, Morgans' eyes lit up.

What was their last game?
The giant lizard blew up the holy land!

How exciting!
I can't help but look forward to the next game that Mr. Bucky mentioned.

Come to think of it, he also missed two games of Mr. Buggy, one about the Misty Sea War and the other about Fishman Island.

For Morgans, who yearns for big news, it is like missing a "forest".

Fortunately, I caught up this time.

All the difficulties that were originally worried about were easily solved.

After all, the king is dead and the princess has joined the gang, so what's the difficulty in recruiting some fishmen to be newspaper deliverymen?
But for Bucky, these are just small changes in his boring life.

Just like Fishman Island, his initial purpose was just to get the deadly drug ES, but later he made a bet with Hawkins and simply played a kidnapping game.

He was in high spirits and started playing the Seven Warlords of the Sea game with Shirahoshi.

However, if these games really disappeared, would Bucky find a mental hospital to lock himself up?

By the way, are there such things as mental hospitals in this world?
“The content of the game is very simple.”

Bucky clapped his hands, ready to announce their gang's next plan.

Also because it was a minor adjustment, he didn't plan to take everything on himself. It was also very interesting to see madness in others.

"Our lovely fishmen are getting a little bored staying in this dark seabed. They are beginning to yearn for the earth and the sun."

Princess Shirahoshi leaned forward, neither confirming nor denying.

After all, he was used to living on Fishman Island, but his yearning for the earth and the sun had already been formed under the special guidance of Princess Otohime.

“So I plan to help them realize this dream.”

He supported his chin with one hand, as if he was helping an old lady cross the street.

But the truth is pretty much the same.

After helping the old lady, he would give her an AK and a bundle of detonators, then point to the building with the Stars and Stripes in the city center and say, "Either you go blow it up, or I'll lay you flat in the middle of the street."

"That means we need to find an island."

Morgause was thoughtful.

In the New World waters closest to Fish-man Island, although there are many scattered islands such as FOOD VALTEN Island, the larger islands are mainly Thunder Island, Redchiled Island, and Mysteria Island.

These are also the three initial islands that the New World Pointer will point to.

The most dangerous of these is Thunder Island.

They had previously dived after coating on Mysteria Island.

"Thunder Island is said to be dangerous, but in fact it is just the climate that is dangerous and not suitable for human habitation, so no one occupies it. Redchiled Island was once Whitebeard's territory, but now it has been taken away by Kaido. The Moon Guardian Kingdom on Mysteria Island is a member of the World Government and is adjacent to the Navy's G-3 branch."

On an island without people, the climate is dangerous, but on an island with people, clowns are dangerous.

Morgans felt that Mr. Baki would definitely choose one of the last two islands.

No matter whether it is the flag of the Four Emperors or the flag of the Navy, it cannot cover it.

"By the way, the navy has already gathered personnel on Mysteria Island and recruited coating craftsmen. It seems that they have estimated that you are on Fishman Island."

If even Morgans and the others could guess this, there's no way the World Government and the Navy wouldn't know about it.

However, the main reason why they have not come to trouble Buggy so far is that they are worried that the Battle of the Fog will recur.

The Navy can't afford to suffer this a second time.

"Let's draw lots and choose one then."

Buggy was not in a hurry either, as there was still a lot of preparation work to be done on Fishman Island.

For example, Noah's repairs and Morgans' newspaper delivery plan.

Another example is the production of the Pakistani bomb.

In order to enjoy the game more, he changed the Big Mom Pirates' dessert factory into a bomb factory.

As long as there is the ability to split, this is not a problem.

Morganse rolled his eyes secretly.

We are going to seize the island, and we are drawing lots. Are you treating this like a child playing house?
However, considering this person's personality, drawing lots is very reasonable.

I don’t know whether the unlucky ones are the Beasts Pirates or the Navy.

The dignified mermaid princess could only hide behind and listen to this human decide the future of their Fishman Island.

And this human was the one who murdered her father.

I feel wronged, so wronged!
One day!
I must make sure that this clown will also be terrified when he sees Princess Shirahoshi!

When I get home I'll put on makeup similar to his.

She felt that the clown's makeup played a role in why people were so scared.

Oh, and the hair. Pink hair doesn’t seem too scary.

The reporter was amazed when he saw his hair.

All Shirahoshi could think about was how to scare the clown.

"By the way, do you still hate the murderer?"

Buggy turned his head and said to Princess Shirahoshi.

"Murderer? No no, I won't bear a grudge against Master Buggy!"

Shirahoshi's face turned pale, and she thought that Buggy had noticed her inner thoughts, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Well, my sincere advice to you is to hate me.

It would be even better if I could have some fun.”

After all, he was planning to take these fishmen to the holy land later.

There was a teasing smile on Buggy's face, as if he sincerely hoped that Princess Shirahoshi would rise up one day and stab him to death.

But the more he looked like this, the more timid Bai Xing became.

"Don't be so serious, my princess.

I am here to help you avenge, remember, the fishman who killed your mother. "

After the baptism of previous events, Shirahoshi's ideas have changed a lot.

But the only difference was that she had never killed anything with her own hands.

"Mother told me not to hate the murderer."

"But can you do it?"

Buggy's two hands floated up and pulled at the corners of Shirahoshi's mouth.

"So, my lovely princess, can you really let go of that hatred?"

I don't know why, but every time I hear what Lord Buggy says, Shirahoshi feels like these words are drilling into his head.

It is more than ten times more infectious than my mother’s speeches.

Just two sentences were enough to open up a little bit of Bai Xing's heart.

If she could really let it go, she wouldn't keep thinking about it.

"Think about it for a moment, what was your life like before the Hodie Jones attack? What would your life have been like if the Hodie Jones attack hadn't happened?"

This assumption is tempting.

Buggy turned around and his head flew in front of Shirahoshi.

"Then everything you don't want to see will not happen."

Your mother will be the same as usual, telling you and the mermen in the square about the beauty of the human world. Occasionally, she will cry until her nose bubbles, and Vander Decken IX will not bother you. "

The infectious descriptions from his mouth can easily arouse people's imagination.

What's more, Shirahoshi is a girl who has actually been hurt.

Memories of my childhood suddenly came to mind.

Tears began to fall uncontrollably from my eyes.

“Don’t hate the murderer, but learn to accept yourself.

Accept your emotions. ”

Bucky finished in his best soothing tone.

Shirahoshi is not a saint like Otohime. She can hate and resent, and she can also be afraid and sad.

Just draw out her emotions. Shirahoshi pouted, and a few tears fell before stopping.

Compared to the past period of time, she has grown a lot after all.

But she still couldn't understand what Master Buggy said about accepting herself.

What kind of self do you accept?
A crybaby who hates the murderer himself?

Buggy didn't urge Shirahoshi to do anything, but let her think about it herself, which would have a better effect.

Because what I said was the truth.

Use revenge to make this girl truly mature.

This is not cruelty, but great kindness.

At the same time, this also means that all the education that Princess Otohime gave to Shirahoshi will be wasted.

This is actually a good thing for her.

Buggy couldn't hide Hodi Jon's location on Fishman Island.

Or maybe this guy never thought that Bucky saw him as a catalyst.

Still staying at the old site of Fishman Street.

The Great White Shark kept his head down, his face showing an unchanging expression.

He suddenly felt that it was a great shame to let a human lead the merfolk.

But this human actually killed most of the other human pirates, did things he could never do, and completed the mission he claimed he was born to have.

Even the former executives of the New Fishman Pirates followed the other side.

This made him, the team leader, extremely embarrassed.

But no one noticed that in the sea forest next door, a girl holding a trident had just learned to accept herself.

When they returned to Coral Hill, there was a real change in Shirahoshi's eyes.

He no longer had that cute look on his face, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

If someone familiar saw it, they would think that the look in his eyes was a bit like Buggy’s.

Holding the trident left by his father, Bucky used it to stab his father to death and then threw it away. He preferred to use a knife.

Shirahoshi used it to stab his enemy to death.

Once you accept your hatred and your revengeful self, you will find that they are not as evil as you think.

Instead, it made other people look at her with a little more awe.

Her hair was still flowing pink, but there was a faint smile on her face.

"Mrs. Shirley."

She bent down and greeted the proprietress of the Mermaid Cafe.

"Your Highness, you already look like a king."

Mrs. Shirley noticed the change immediately.

And sighed that this is the role of guiding people.

"I am not a king."

Bai Xing replied indifferently, Lord Buggy is not far away.

Hody Jon was no difficulty at all in dealing with him.

When Buggy and the giant sea king appeared at the same time, that guy was so scared that he couldn't move.

Then Bai Xing stabbed it with a fork.

She had to admit that when the bloody red splashed on her body, Shirahoshi really felt a sense of pleasure.

The secret that I had kept for so long and the hatred that I had held back for so long were all vented in an instant.

What Otohime said about not hating is essentially against human nature.

Because Shirahoshi grew up under her care and her teachings, Shirahoshi is full of love for this mother.

That's why I hate it even more.

Otohime's last will made Shirahoshi keep this feeling in his heart silently, just like the depression of being helplessly hidden in a hard-shell tower.

What Bucky told her was to accept herself.

"Different."

Mrs. Shirley certainly understood what Shirahoshi meant. At this moment, the only real king of Fishman Island was Buggy.

"Mr. Buggy is still a human after all. Even if the mermen will accept his leadership, it is only a temporary measure."

The royal family has a long history, and most mermaids and merpeople still recognize this king.

Towards the clown, I am more likely to be hypocritical.

After all, the other party is human.

A horrible human being.

"But what if he actually takes everyone to land?"

"Uh" Mrs. Charlie curled up her fins and was stunned for a moment.

Unreachable is always in turmoil.

This sentence also applies to mermaids. They cannot get respect from humans, nor can they live on land, so they are always full of yearning and fantasy for that kind of life.

If Buggy can really lead them to gain a foothold on land, then it would be no different from founding a country.

“Will humans let go of discrimination?”

"From what Master Buggy said, it seems that he has no intention of discussing this with humans."

Shirahoshi thought about what Buggy had just said, and it seemed that he didn't mention anything to discuss.

Although Lord Buggy is also a human, I did not see any discrimination in his eyes, and even his observation Haki did not hear such thoughts.

He was equally indifferent to humans and merfolk.

But you still care about yourself?
Shirahoshi was a little unsure and glanced timidly at Lord Buggy who was not far away.

He was standing in the ruins of a previous battle, with dried blood at his feet.

The sunlight overhead had dimmed, and there was no light on him.

But it can catch people's eyes.

"I'll tell you when there's news. Please get everyone ready first."

Shirahoshi gave hurried instructions and fluttered a few times to catch up with Buggy.

If you accept your hatred, you must also accept your fear.

Until the fear in her heart subsided, Shirahoshi didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Buggy.

As for what preparations to make, since you don't intend to discuss it, then we'll just have to use force.

Mrs. Shirley's hand on her pipe trembled.

Are the mermaids, who have just been devastated, going to be subjected to another round of devastation right away?

The cost of not destroying Fishman Island is too high.
On top of the coral hill, a light appeared on the huge ship Noah.

The fishmen are still continuing the repair work day and night.

After all, if one has ten times the strength of humans, it is normal to do ten times the work.

On the bow of the ship, Vander Decken IX was still crucified.

Hawkins looked at this guy, adjusting his angle from time to time to avoid hitting the bubbles on the edge of Fishman Island.

At the same time, you have to feed this guy every once in a while to prevent him from starving to death.

Alas, that’s the downside of biotechnology.

If it were an artifact with abilities, it would be much simpler.

Buggy is already considering whether to experiment with the fruit and the splitting of the ability user on Vander Decken IX.

He thinks it is quite feasible.

However, considering that I currently have no idea how to combine fruits and utensils, I can only put it aside for the time being.

Vander Decken IX escaped with his life.
