One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 14 Paradise and Auction Venue

Paradise is a great place.

There is no seriousness or affectation here.

People take out their rare free time to come here and enjoy laughter and fatigue, which are always relative and coexist.

The park's operators want to make visitors as tired as possible in order to sell their own drinks and snacks.

During the long queues, tourists gradually become more excited about the trip.

I was satisfied with the final short and stimulating experience, and then I took out the snacks and drinks I had brought with me to soothe myself.

"What do you have for fun?"

A naughty kid interrupted Bucky's thoughts and brought him back to reality from his sage-like state of transcendence.

"Fun?" A playful smile appeared on his face, "Then I have to think about it carefully."

He painted the corners of his lips with a rich red again, and then gently raised them up to his cheeks, making his face full of playfulness even without a smile.

A circle of carbon black was also drawn around the eyes.

Bucky is quite good at the clown makeup.

The difference is that when he was in Gotham City, he was putting makeup on his wounds, powder like mist on the delicate flesh of the wounds, and the feeling was very clear.

But he didn't feel that clarity now.

Or rather, he could hardly even feel himself.

It is unrealistic to cram three people's memories into one person's brain without causing any change.

It’s just that the Gotham Joker’s memory points are more prominent, more crazy, and more suitable for the desperate environment on the escort ship.

When that stimulus is gone, the impact will naturally occur.

Several ways to make a balloon puppy naturally came to his mind. It was always exciting to hear the crackling sound when the surface of the balloon was pulled.

But he had no balloons with him.

There seems to be something in the chest.

He opened the chest like a storage cabinet, and inside was neatly placed a human face, several fruit knives, and a lot of explosives...

There wasn't a single balloon.

"It seems I forgot to bring it when I went out."

He sighed.

The naughty kid was stunned.

Then he ran away, with a long line of tears running down his extremely frightened face.

"gentlemen."

Arne stood aside holding a camera with a strange look on his face.

It was difficult for him to connect the character in front of him who looked like an NPC from the amusement park with the terrifying pirate who caused the explosion on the warship.

"Why are you so serious?"

"Smile more, my journalist."

Playing pranks on the kid seemed to make Bucky feel much better.

He found some commonalities among the three personalities.

Whether it is the clown in the park, the clown in the pirates' clown, or the clown in the criminals' clown, they all like this kind of joy.

"Also, how did your interview go?"

He didn't know whether Arne was really serious about the profession of journalist or just had a big heart.

Arne actually took a camera and went to interview the Heart Pirates.

"The situation... well, it's going well."

Arne pulled out two interview transcripts from his pocket and said, "That supernova was very cold and ignored me. But they had a bear named Bepo on board who was pretty good."

He flipped through the manuscript paper. "We talked a lot about sailing, the experience of being rewarded, and the climate differences between the South Sea and the North Sea. This topic always goes on for a long time."

"Oh, by the way, I left his phone number."

For the first time, Buggy discovered that his navigator candidate and reporter Arne was so talented in communicating with animals.

This guy always looks gloomy, but his face was full of joy when he talked about the interview process.

"Good start, right?"

Arne nodded along; he had never thought that he would become a serious journalist.

"Then prepare to take it a step further."
-
Human auction venue. A regular auction was held as scheduled.

Slaves, some tall, some petite, and some with strange looks, were stuffed into iron cages, placed on flatbed carts, and pushed under the spotlight in the center of the venue.

"Let's welcome the next auction item!"

"The unknown warrior from the Land of Flowers, look at his sturdy and strong physique, and his wolf-like eyes!"

"Under our training, this will definitely be a great slave for you to guard your home and travel with!"

"Starting price: 100,000 Baileys!"

With one finger raised high, star-shaped sunglasses and long purple hair, Disco looked more like a rock singer on the stage.

Not like now, a host at the auction venue.

However, as the atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up, Disco quietly retreated to the edge of the stage.

"Has everything been arranged?"

The person who answered him was a man in a suit dressed like 007.

"no problem."

"As soon as he shows up, our people will rush over and hack him to death! Not to mention this young navy officer, even if a real lieutenant commander comes, he will definitely not be able to escape."

"What about the impact?" Disco took off his white gloves and said in a cold tone.

Instead of improving yourself, it is better to find ways to kill your competitors.

However, it would not be good if it affected the dignitaries attending the auction.

"Those attending the meeting today are not particularly powerful. We will give them some compensation afterwards."

Disco nodded, and it seemed that everything was foolproof.

But I still feel a little uneasy.

"Will the Navy really not pursue the matter?"

Yes, he is a naval lieutenant commander after all.
You have to be a little cautious after all.

"Don't worry!" The man in the suit looked very proud.

"This is always a lawless area, and the navy never really cares about it."

"A naval lieutenant commander barged in on his own and died. No one can be blamed for his death."

"Besides, the captain will arrive as soon as possible. I have prepared a few men who will kill the captain directly."

"This way, we can all get along well."

"Not bad! Not bad!" Disco felt relieved.

No wonder the young master had spent so much money to get the base chief of District 66 to invest, it really played a significant role!

His heart suddenly became active again, as if he had returned to the time when he had just become the young master's subordinate.

At that time, the human auction venue was an important source of funds for the young master.

I also have to be valued by the young master.

It’s just that times have changed.

The profits generated by auctions today pale in comparison to those from arms sales.

However, as his biggest competitor on the archipelago, Auction House No. 4, which is famous for selling pirates and criminals, gradually becomes weaker, his glorious days are finally back!

Soon.

The unknown warrior from the Kingdom of Flowers was bought by a noble lady of a more sturdy stature for a large sum of money.

The lady's wolf-like eyes made the nameless warrior's face even more terrified.

Disco hurried onto the stage to promote the next slave.

Every time a slave was photographed, he would glance to the side of the stage, at a specially reserved spot.

Damn it, why hasn't my bright future arrived yet? !
-
Outside the auction.

Buggy changed into a navy uniform that was a bit conspicuous in the lawless area.

Standing under a large semicircular building.

Head tilted up.

Looking at the facade of the building above, there is an inconspicuous small wooden sign with the words "Employment Agency" hung on it.

Find it very interesting.
