One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 145 News Worth Million

"Are you satisfied with the current situation?"

This is a very delicate question. For the vast majority of people who are still striving and have goals, the answer is of course no.

But Smoker understood the hidden meaning behind the other's playful eyes.

After seeing the dark side of the World Government and the Navy, can you still accept this white uniform?
Since exchanging information with the Joker last time, Smoker has been secretly investigating for a while.

He also spent a lot of money in the underground world to find the banned newspaper.

“That’s why I have to climb up.”

The smoky man blew out a smoke ring, and his heart felt even heavier.

This guy is much stronger than the last time I saw him.

Well, it didn't make much difference to him though.

Two moves for one second and one move for one second both last seconds.

"What do you want to do this time?"

Once is new, twice is familiar. Smoker now has a better understanding of the Joker. When he is not teasing you, there is a high probability that he wants to use you.

“I like your awareness.”

Compared with other marines, the biggest feature of Smoker is that this guy is much more accepting.

For example, if they cooperated with pirates, the rest of the navy might be in danger of death. Smoker figured it out after he blew out two puffs of smoke.

"By the way, your teacher is also Zephyr, the one who doesn't kill the general."

Bucky licked his lips and gave a sinister smile.

Smoker is certainly interesting, but his real role in Buggy's eyes is that he can be a card within the Navy.

The last time I was on Island F, I had successfully planted the seeds.

Judging from his attitude, he must have been exposed to a lot of things.

Climb up.
He seems to be a reformist.

"Many officers are disciples of Mr. Zefa, including the general you framed."

In the opinion of most navy people who have come into contact with Akainu.

Sakaski's current situation was largely due to Bucky's frame-up.

It's just that their opinions don't matter that much.

Smoker said this mainly to let Buggy understand the navy's attitude towards him.

"And it was a long time ago that Mr. Zefa claimed that he would not kill."

"His family was killed by pirates a long time ago. Eight years ago, the training ship led by Mr. Zephyr himself was attacked by pirates. Except for him and two students, almost everyone died."

This was an extremely sad thing that happened within the navy.

So when Smoker spoke of it, his tone was a little depressed.

"Now Mr. Zephyr's hatred for pirates has reached an unprecedented level."

"You picked the wrong target, clown."

Given Mr. Zefa's current extreme level, he will never cooperate with any pirates.

There was no change in Buggy's eyes. Of course he knew about Zefa's affairs.

This is a tragic character that has already been distorted to a great extent.

Very different from Akainu.

Giving such a person a little hope can have unexpected effects.

Bucky was looking forward to it.

He said with a slight raise of the corner of his mouth.

“Yeah, that’s why it’s interesting.”

"It seems that our cooperation has got off to a good start."

Smoker's face did not look good.

He still maintains a very cautious attitude towards this cooperation.

Teacher Danze
Smoker didn't think there was anything that could be exploited about the teacher.

Bucky turned his head around again as he spoke.

His eyes fell on the ship belonging to the Shipping King.

Baolan is the captain of the ship's guard.

It is also a member of the Shipping King Group.

Being able to expand shipping to the New World means that the shipping king is very well connected in both the black and white worlds, and it requires background and power.

Correspondingly, Baolan also knew which crazy people on this sea should not be provoked.

The Joker is definitely at the top.

Wherever the Joker has been, there is always a choice between destruction and rivers of blood.

Sabaody Archipelago, Ganger City, and F Island.

There is also Fishman Island, and the news of its complete destruction has long spread.

There is nothing to be afraid of when encountering the navy.

There are people above them.

So, as soon as she encountered the clown, Baolan called the Shipping King himself.

He suppressed the fear in his body and said:
"Boss, we were attacked by clowns. The ship was broken into pieces like fruit. There was also a giant ship. The clown jumped off the ship!"

"We...what should we do now,?!"

There was no response from the other end of the phone. Baolan looked ahead nervously. It was clearly the second deck cabin, but she could clearly see the sea water surging below.

From time to time, huge sea beasts would poke half of their heads out of the sea, their eyes salivating with greed.

Baolan took another step forward and there was a neat cut, separating the area he was in like a building block.

Fortunately, the table in the cabin was fixed, and Baolan leaned half of her body on it.

"Boss, boss!"

“Are you listening?!”

"Claire Woods!"

"You can't just leave us alone you bastard!"

"I know a lot of things about you, and I can tell them all!"

The long silence on the other end of the phone magnified Baolan's fear several times, and he couldn't help but growl at the Den Den Mushi.

But I didn't expect to hear a long beep, and the Den Den Mushi had been hung up.

Baolan felt that her heart rate seemed to be in line with the long sound, and her face turned pale.

But then, the split cabin suddenly began to turn slowly.

Baolan slipped and half of her body fell out.

He saw some crew members who were in a panic and couldn't find any fixed objects to fasten themselves to, and fell off the boat due to the sudden rotation.

In the azure sea, the sea kings opened their mouths wide in anticipation of the buffet.

You can smell the fishy smell in the wind.

Then he heard the demon whispering again.

“This should be a classic attraction in the amusement park.”

"Um... I think it's called the Pirate Ship. If you have fun, remember to give it a good review."

Bucky said with a grin.

From time to time, I could hear a few wailing sounds.

I guess they all have five-star reviews.

Even Smoker standing by was sweating coldly.

This scene may not be a big deal for him, but it is painful for other soldiers.

However, this allowed him to see everything on the transport ship, as the simply fixed wooden boxes could not withstand such rotation.

Under the broken wooden boards, there was hay, guns and swords.

Just munitions?

But the information I received was clearly about artificial devil fruits...

The artificial devil fruit is in Baolan's arms.

A bag contains three or four apples.

All the arms were used to cover up the transportation of these fruits, but Baolan couldn't care less now.

The speed of rotation was getting faster and faster, and the dizziness was getting worse.

I'm sure I won't be able to stand this!

After all, that bastard Claire Woods ignored them.

Just take one out.

Artificial devil fruits are all in the shape of apples, with orange and yellow polka dots on the bright red skin, which doesn't look very good.

But Baolan couldn't care less at this moment.

He held the corner of the table with one hand, and his body was swaying continuously as the cabin rotated.

After taking out the fruit with his other hand, he took a bite.

……

……

the other side.

Shipping King, Claire Woods was busy on another call.

"Joker, I have the news you want."

"咈咈咈咈..."

"Woods, maybe you can take the place of that bird." The flamingo's iconic sly laugh came from the microphone.

"Sounds good." Woods also chuckled.

He knew that this was the condition Brother Ming set for him.

"But I don't need this."

However, this also made Woods confirm that this was definitely first-hand information, so his appetite would not be so easily satisfied.

"Joker, I know what you are capable of."

"So I want two devil fruits, not artificial defective ones, but real devil fruits."

Woods said with an appetite whetted.

Although no one knows what kind of grudge there is between the two, Mingge is the only one who would offer a reward for information about Buggy in the black market.

So he planned to take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit.

You can ask for a high price and then pay it back on the spot, and you can also test the other party's bottom line.

Otherwise, how can we justify the loss of our ships?
"You have such a big appetite. Aren't you afraid of dying of stuffiness?"

Mingge said bluntly.

At the current market price, even the most common animal-type devil fruit can be sold for 300 million.

Woods actually dared to ask for 600 million from me with these two news!
Mingge's expression held an indescribable meaning.

The corners of his mouth were stretched into a crescent shape, and veins were faintly visible on his forehead.

This tone of voice that controls oneself is really annoying.

Two devil fruits, I don’t know if you will live to get them.

"Okay, I agree."

"Come to the island to trade in half a month, but tell me the news now."

Deal done!

A piece of news was actually sold for 600 million yuan!
This should be the most valuable news in recent years!

Woods did not doubt Mingge's words. The cooperation between an arms dealer and a shipping businessman like him could not be measured by 600 million.

He told everyone the news about the sea area and giant ship where Buggy appeared.

Then he looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him and pondered for a long time.

He gave a sly smile.

"Baolan, since your life has brought me more valuable information, I will not deduct your salary this month."

The captain of the guard had no way of knowing whether his salary had been deducted.

He covered his head with one hand, while the fingers of his other hand dug directly into the deck.

Wavy lines appear on the skin from time to time.

It seemed as if a demon was constantly pushing on the pale face.

"hey-hey.."

The demon forced a smile on his face.

But it was quickly replaced by a ferocious expression.

Baolan felt as if her body was about to explode and her consciousness was being constantly gnawed by a giant beast.

He could even see a small dark red shadow in front of him.

This kind of pain is worse than death!
Baolan's consciousness gradually faded under the ravages of the devil.

The smile on his face stayed longer and longer.

Until there is only a smile.

smile.

The biggest flaw of this artificial devil fruit is that if the user cannot bear the power of the devil fruit, he will become an idiot who only knows how to smile foolishly!
“It tastes very familiar.”

Bucky came to the side of the captain of the guard without knowing when.

The spinning pirate ship has stopped.

"In fact, I have always been curious about what the demons that reside in different fruits are like. But unfortunately, so far, except for Doflamingo, I have not seen a second successful awakener."

He looked at Smoker with disappointment.

Those who have not yet awakened do not have the characteristics of a demon.

However, the devil living in this artificial devil fruit seems to have awakened from the very beginning.

Bucky saw it clearly.

This artificial devil fruit, with a more radical attitude, directly skips the four stages mentioned by Hawkins.

It goes straight to the point where the demon awakens and then fights the ability user for control.

Those who cannot subdue the devil will become like Baolan.

Does this mean that the artificial devil fruit's devil is still in its immature stage, without any bearing?

After all, it was the first time that the dark red clown in his body showed up, and his pursuit was very clear.

It's about finding distortion and joy in chaos.

Artificial devil fruits can only smile stupidly.

"Is your theory really feasible?"

Hearing his words, Smoker said in surprise.

"In the past, only I could do it, but now I see that it is still somewhat universal."

"At least it makes the world seem more interesting, right?"

This guy released the news just to let others be his guinea pigs!
How despicable!

Smoker silently distanced himself from him.

The Joker's hands were already on Baolan's face.

"You look good right now."

"Smile."

He pulled his fingers, and Baolan achieved a physical breakthrough.

According to the normal performance of devil fruits, after the host dies, the living devil will attach itself to a certain fruit.

However, the performance of artificial devil fruits seems to be different.

"Roar!!"

A low roar came from Baolan's body.

A small dark red shadow stared at the two of its kind in front of it with great fear.

After losing its host, the dark red shadow kept getting thinner.

"What an interesting little guy."

Bucky caught the shadow easily in his hand.

With a gentle smile on his face, he stroked the shadow's head.

Then, an even more terrifying demonic aura suddenly erupted.

The dark lines pressed down on Smoker.

The patterns of the devil fruit appeared on Buggy's skin, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

But the hair also turned gray rapidly.

The momentum is very terrifying, but the power is weak.

Smoker could clearly feel Bucky's current state.

Is this the posture of the devil's awakening in that theory?

So what can the smoke fruit do?
He suddenly understood those people who used different methods to approach and please the devil.

In essence, they are all pleasing the power.

"call"

The devil clown exhaled lightly, and the devil in the artificial devil fruit was swallowed by him in one gulp.

The breath seemed to rise a little.

But it is just a drop in the bucket.

"Eat more, we are stronger!"

The Demon Clown's language system has been almost upgraded, and he can now speak complete sentences.

"I don't care what you do to me."

Then he just brushed aside the fact that Bucky had made him bear the aging process.

Is there any host more suitable for him than this Bucky?

No more.

The devil clown had never been encountered in nine hundred years.

So he is very tolerant and partial.

Except for the clown.
The devil clown looked at Smoker with greedy eyes.

A strong impulse arose spontaneously.

Tear him apart, split the demon apart and swallow it!
"You must take what I give you, but you cannot take what I don't give you."

"Understand?"

Bucky's momentum instantly overwhelmed the devil clown.

The dark lines turned around and suppressed the original owner.

Demonic aura, this demon originally refers to the demon of the devil fruit, and now it refers to Buggy.

“The experimental results are pretty much what I expected.”

The Cantonese have been tempered again and again. Alas, he was still wearing short sleeves the day before yesterday.
