One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 150 The Clown Never Practices
"I prefer the name of clown."

Bucky grinned, and as his eyes swept over the petri dishes, a throbbing sensation came over him in his spiritual world.

SAD is the raw material for artificial devil fruit.

At this moment, it looks like a constantly wriggling dark red blood mass, with devil fruit patterns appearing on the surface from time to time.

The devil clown expressed his greed.

I want two bites.

Bucky said you should try it.

He even took two blood lumps and sniffed them.

The naked temptation made the devil clown twist and squirm.

I wish I could snatch Bucky's body right now and swallow it in one gulp.

However, considering Bucky's criminal record, he was beaten each time he was asked to come out. If he took the initiative, he would probably be emptied by Bucky again.

In the end, I just waited patiently.

There was just a throbbing now and then.

Bucky's taming plan was very successful.

At this time, the blood clot should still be called SAD, and it doesn't smell like anything.

More like an embryo.

Born based on the bloodline factor of the person with special abilities.
So can my own body cultivate the same thing?
However, Bucky is not in a hurry to verify this idea.

Instead, he turned to Monet and asked:

"Where is the room where failed experiments are stored?"

Although the plot line has long been messed up by Buggy, some established things that cannot be changed will still happen.

For example, Kozuki Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Raizo, and Kanjuro.

Their storyline will not be changed by Bucky.

Because these four people traveled through time from twenty years ago through the power of Kozuki Toki's Toki-Toki Fruit.

There is still more than half a year before the four of them travel through time.

Therefore, the fruit that was destroyed by Momonosuke is still there.

Then there will be no use for Momonosuke.

It's even a bit of a pity.

If that bad guy was there, I would have more fun.

"Failure?"

Monet tilted his head, not really understanding what the clown wanted to do with the loser.

But he turned around and took Bucky with him.

The existence of an insider saved Buggy a lot of effort.

"This is it."

Then passed through two airtight doors and an ice cave.

The two of them arrived at a very remote room.

"Caesar rarely leaves behind failed products. That arrogant guy believes that anything he creates cannot fail."

“So there are no fruits stored here.”

"It is a record before Caesar."

Monet was a qualified secretary.

After turning on the light in the room, he took out a notebook from behind the door and flipped through it for a while.

"Failed item 65: A replica of the blue dragon form of the Fish-Fish Fruit. The wish it carries is unknown, and there are weak signs of demonic activity."

A pink fish-scale-shaped devil fruit was placed in the center of the room.

It is covered with a glass cover and is very conspicuous.

In the original plot, Momonosuke, who traveled through time from twenty years ago, was captured by the Don Quixote family and taken to a research institute as an experimental material.

By chance, he ate this fruit and gained the same ability as Kaido, but it was more like a counterfeit product.

"Wait, there is a note from Dr. Vegapunk here"

Monet turned another page and found a line of words at the end of the diary.

"There is a strong dominant will within the mythical beast species, which is stronger than the weak will within the parahuman devil fruit."

"Note: Animals only have instincts, so awakening is easier."

"Question: If the will within a parahuman devil fruit can achieve the same effect, will it become a mythical beast?"

"I have doubts. The abilities of the mythical beasts cannot be simply summarized."

"Maybe it's a fusion of more than one devil fruit?"

"The formula for an artificial mythical beast fruit might be: one or two superhuman-type + one animal-type + enough will to replace the original devil = mythical beast?"

"I have a feeling that the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit must be hiding the biggest secret of the Devil Fruit."

"It would be great if we could get more bloodline factors from mythical beasts."

As expected, Buggy was not the first person to notice the existence of the devil.

Lao Bei has also done in-depth research on devil fruits. After all, even artificial devil fruits are based on the research of the other party's bloodline factors.

But do we need to add an animal system?
He felt that it was unnecessary, as no fruit was added and he did not go through any test of will.

Just as they were playing, the devil clown suddenly came out.

He claimed to be some mythical beast, but in reality his abilities were still fragmented.

So this guy is most likely a newborn or castrated version?

Buggy held the fish-scale fruit in his palm and could vaguely feel the will stirring within it.

It was very weak, even weaker than the artificial devil fruit created by Caesar.

If the success rate of artificial devil fruit is fifty, the success rate of this fruit may be less than ten.

No wonder it was classified as a failure by Vegapunk.

But it suits Bucky just fine.

He doesn't want the ability.

I just take this thing as a small tonic.

With a slight force of his fingers, the Green Dragon Fruit was split into dozens of pieces.

It looks no different from ordinary fruit.

However, due to his familiarity with demons, Buggy could still sense a pink shadow hidden in it.

It will not split up because of the splitting of the fruit.

This is consistent with the understanding of normal devil fruits.

As long as you eat one piece, you can get the complete devil fruit power.

"Mr. Joker, if you eat two devil fruits, your body will explode and you will die."

Monet couldn't help but speak as he looked at Bucky's eager look.

But the next second, his mouth opened wide.

Buggy suddenly revealed the form of a demon clown, with black flames surrounding his shoulders and his skin bearing the patterns of fruit.

The red eyes were full of desire.

Just like tasting some delicacy, take a gentle bite of the flesh.

Delicious, delicious for the devil.

It seems that the one who swallowed the devil fruit should be a devil.

With a bang, Buggy's body suddenly swelled into a ball.

The skin may appear fish-scale-like or fruit-peel-like.

The two forces collided violently inside Bucky's body.

"Mr. Joker!?"

Monet looked panicked and opened his hands, wanting to do something, but he didn't know how to start.

But in the blink of an eye, the power of the Demon Clown easily overwhelmed the will in the Blue Dragon Fruit.

Eat up that will and wipe it out completely, leaving nothing behind.

If it was a normal devil fruit, the devil clown might not be able to do this so easily.

If the collision continues, there's a real chance that it will explode.

Such devouring seems to be out of the devil's instinct. They are like powerful lord-like animals. The first moment their territory is invaded, they will kill the enemy completely.

But if he wanted to accommodate a second devil fruit, he would have to suppress this instinct of the devil clown.

After all, he was not like Blackbeard, who had a special physique that gave him a second or even third place for the devil to reside.

What was finally born was the real demon clown, not the dark red clown that could only fall apart and have a demonic aura. "It's just a small experiment, don't worry."

Bucky exhaled softly, his eyes unexpectedly bright.

The curled lines on the skin faded away again, and the replenished Demon Clown finally didn't look so skinny anymore.

He can also provide more support to Bucky.

Mr. Ba has never practiced or polished himself for a day.

In addition to having fun playing games, the rest of the time is either spent studying some scientific advances and essays in the world, or developing new toys on my own.

I have come this far only because of the devil's carrying of heavy loads and taking drugs.

So now he's ready to go a step further.

Give the devil drugs!
After the patterns of the devil fruit faded, there were faint fish scale marks left on Buggy's skin, with a hint of pink, which matched his bright red mouth corners very well.

This was an unexpected gain.

Bucky grinned.

Although the demon was directly absorbed, some of its abilities were left behind.

He had already tasted the flavor of artificial devil fruits when he was on the Shipping King ship. Those were just ordinary animal-type fruits and did not have any special abilities.

Maybe there was a slight increase, but Bucky didn't feel it. He could only replenish the body of the Demon Clown to make it easier for him to cut it next time.

“Where are your finished products stored?”

Monet first pressed his body in surprise, as if he was wearing a very thin leather armor.

Then he looked up and replied:
"There aren't many finished products here. It takes about three weeks to cultivate SAD. Once it's formed, it will be sent to the Smile factory in Dressrosa for processing and molding."

“But sometimes some are left for experiments.”

"You come with me."

After saying that, Monet led the way.

There are surveillance cameras with no blind spots on all the passages along the way.

It seemed to declare that this research institute still had a real owner.

But no one cares.

Bucky smiled at a camera in the corner.

"Do you need me to kill all these outsiders, Mr. Joker?"

Monet turned his head to the side, and the corner of his eyes showed that he was eager to try.

In her opinion, except for herself and the Clown, everyone on the island is an outsider, while Mr. Clown and herself are family.

"Monotonous killing is boring." Bucky smiled and tilted his head. "Uh... I think I've said this to someone before."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it again."

"Normally, I like to watch them kill each other, you know?"

His face was smiling and his tone seemed very gentle, but his eyes revealed that he was eager to see the world in chaos.

This is somewhat similar to Ming Ge.

However, Ming Ge prefers to stay in his kingdom and family, and keep adding fuel to the fire.

Bucky poured oil directly into the fire, and when it was not enough, he jumped into the fire himself.

Caesar has been keeping an eye on the Joker's actions.

He had already laid traps and poisonous fog along the path to the main control room.

But these two people didn't even look at it.

She went straight to his laboratory, chatting and laughing, and didn't take him seriously at all!
As for Mingge's request, Caesar didn't take it seriously at all.

You are also a clown, and this is also a clown.

But others are already on your face, and you are still sending people over!

Then we can’t blame Caesar for prioritizing saving his own life.

However, he still didn't understand the position and attitude of the clown in front of him. If he surrendered rashly, he might end up in a bad situation and even lose his freedom.

So Caesar preferred to run away on his own.

Although he lost the research institute, with his own abilities and the results of the artificial devil fruit, the ocean is so big that there is no place he cannot go.
"Navy, you will cover me."

Caesar chuckled, then turned his gaze to another intruder in the surveillance video.

A rear admiral with short silver hair.

Smoker.

He got the clue from those centaurs.

I didn't expect that there was such a well-preserved research institute left on the research island that should have been scrapped.

The closed door did not pose any obstacle to him, and the smoke made it easy for him to sneak in.

And then went deeper along the pipeline.

Punk Hazard was originally the navy's territory. Before landing on the island, Smoker had already looked at the map of the island.

This naturally includes several research institutes.

So his goal is clear.

Main control room.

That is the core that controls the entire research institute!
But the other party seemed to be prepared as well.

A lavender poisonous mist suddenly gushed out of the pipe.

Like some kind of rat poison.

It was originally intended to be used against certain rats and insects that sneak into the pipes, but after being modified by Caesar, it was just right for use against Smoker.

Smoker's face turned serious and he exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth.

Then the whole body turned into smoke and rolled up.

"White blast!"

White mist swept through the pipe.

Apart from the poisonous fog, there seemed to be no other obstructions in the pipeline.

the other side.

Buggy has already bitten eight or nine artificial devil fruits. Even though the value of artificial devil fruits is half of that of normal devil fruits, he has bitten several Caesars at once.

Caesar's bounty is 300 million berries.

The demon clown inside his body quickly changed from a shriveled state to a full state, and even the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied smile.

"Next, we can go watch a good show."

"Let's go to the control room."

"Yes." Monet lowered his head slightly.

"The regular passages leading to the main control have been trapped by Caesar, but I have higher authority than him in this institute."

A somewhat smug smile appeared on her face.

As Caesar's only secretary, she is responsible for arranging many things in the institute, and it can even be said that she is more familiar with them than Caesar.

When the two arrived at the main control room.

The inside was filled with white smoke.

Caesar's evil laughter could also be heard.

"Shh, Mr. Major General, you don't want all your subordinates to die in my poison gas, do you?"

"Look at their current state. The poison has already entered their bodies."

Caesar laughed unbridled and wantonly.

How dare this navy underestimate the effect of its own poison mist and leave behind a group of soldiers?
In order to target the Joker, Caesar had already ordered the patrol members to spread poison gas along the way, but Smoker thought that the poison gas was only in the area where he was at the time.

"How's it going, Marine."

The smoke that filled the main control room posed no threat to Caesar.

He pointed at the screen behind him and grinned.

"Let's make a deal. As long as you help me leave this island, I will let your subordinates go."

"But you'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee that no one will fall into the poisonous fog."

"After all, this is a killing weapon that I made, swoosh!"

Caesar smiled even more triumphantly.

He saw that the silver-haired navy officer had a hesitant and conflicted look on his face.

This is a navy that likes to do its own thing but also has a sense of responsibility.

How fun! Hehehehe!
