One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 157 The evil of this world has penetrated deep into the bone marrow
A burning smell still lingered on the island of Mysteria.

The once prosperous town was covered with iron ash from the cooling molten lava.

There are many cooled stone slabs floating near the coast.

Some have not cooled down.

The bull-headed sea king was lying on the hot stone slab, and the aroma of its thick fat stimulated by the high temperature wafted around.

The fish skin has started to burn.

The garlic cloves inside are layered with shallow
Akainu casually cut off a piece from the abdomen.

The abdomen of this sea king alone is as big as four or five of him combined.

But this is only his food for one day.

"Did you bring any peppers?"

He turned around and asked.

The town covered by lava was as eerily silent as the ancient city of Pompeii.

"The Marshal can't come empty-handed."

Aokiji took out a cloth bag from behind his waist, which was filled with dark red devil peppers.

"good."

Akainu said in a muffled voice, unbuttoning the first button of his floral shirt.

The dark red pepper was burned on his hands and then mixed with the tender white fish meat.

The color suddenly becomes bright red and attractive.

"If it's renovated, it can be considered a good place for hot springs."

Aokiji had no interest in his pepper-stirred meat, but instead thought that Ganjie City could be redeveloped.

Akainu snorted and ignored him.

Even before he was expelled from the Navy, the relationship between the two was not good.

Seeing that he had no mood for small talk, Aokiji could only sigh lightly.

There were so many things to do after taking office as the marshal that Aokiji was busy for two months before he squeezed out this little time to come and meet his former colleague.

Although the Five Elders have already characterized Akainu's behavior, the Navy cannot really push this high-end combat force to the opposite side.

Especially given the chaotic situation now with fires breaking out everywhere.

"Let's make a deal. After faking my death, I'll let the Celestial Dragons save face."

"Then go and command the navy's secret forces."

"I don't think you'll abandon justice."

This is the proposal put forward by the Navy.

The face of the Celestial Dragons is the bottom line of the World Government and the Navy.

But to be fair, unless the navy brings in both admirals and Sengoku, they really have no confidence in taking down Akainu.

The compromise is to declare Akainu dead in name only.

This way the Celestial Dragons can save face.

"Then what about my face?"

Akainu crossed his legs and ate meat in a particularly generous manner.

"You don't think I'll calm down so easily?"

Aokiji looked indifferent.

He was not worried that Akainu would be quiet, but that he was worried that the other party would not be quiet at all.

As a comrade for so many years, he knew very well this guy's decisiveness and resolve.

There is no such thing as moral law in Akainu's eyes.

Only justice.

In other words, it is the flag with justice printed on it.

What he was worried about was that Akainu would rush towards the path of paranoid justice.

"The Joker was right about something."

"The only rule in this world is that there are no rules."

Akainu swallowed a plate of meat and peppers whole.

It would be even better if there was a bowl of rice.

"Zhan Guo is very timid. On the one hand, he claims that he wants to rule the world, but on the other hand, he dares not disobey the decision of the World Government."

"Of course, if I were in your position, things probably wouldn't be much better."

He had his head down and was wearing an old hat that was obviously picked up at random.

The word "Justice" was painted on it.

"So the old guy took a fancy to you."

"Your justice is gentle and will not frighten him."

When it comes to the decision of the position of Grand Admiral, the top leaders of the World Government generally support Akainu, while Sengoku supports Aokiji.

"What do you want to do?"

Aokiji did not refute.

The higher he was, the more darkness he could see.

"The Joker incident taught me one thing."

Akainu stood up. Without his white coat, he blended in perfectly with the hot atmosphere around him.

"There's no end to the number of pirates you can kill."

"The evil in this world has penetrated deep into our bones."

"It needs a thorough clean-up."

His eyes met with the Admiral in front of him.

Abnormally determined.

Killing pirates is satisfying, but killing celestial dragons seems to be even more satisfying.

Not only pirates, he wants to clean up all existing forces.

The world is a vicious circle, and he is not sure which link is the root of evil, but in order to avoid hidden sin, he decides to plow the whole thing.

Aokiji's face became serious.

Now there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is no need to worry that Akainu will stand against the navy.

The bad news is that this man intends to stand against the whole world.

What he was worried about happened.

Ice crystals slowly condensed on the ground beneath Aokiji's feet.

His justice is different from Akainu's, which is absolute and thorough, and varies from person to person and from time to time.

When the World Government declared that O'Hara's research would shake the world order, he also stood on the Demon Killing Order's warship and completely flattened the island.

But Aokiji maintains a not-guilty attitude towards innocent people and children.

What he maintained was more of a forced order.

Obviously this time, he and Akainu stood on the opposite side again.

The extremely cold air slowly dissipated as he exhaled, colliding with the scorching heat waves around him.

"You can't do this alone."

"Oh?"

“I don’t feel like I’m alone.”

Akainu stood up, and as their breaths collided, the sea king that was originally roasted at just the right temperature became half frozen and half burnt.

At the harbor, a warship with dark green camouflage slowly approached.

But the flag flying on it is not the Navy's Seagull Flag.

Instead, it was a fiery red bat pattern.

Tina had one foot on the side of the boat with a cigarette in her mouth.

Shouted: "Sir Sakaski!"

"If we don't set off now, the pirates from Redchiled Island will escape."

Akainu's lips curled up slightly. This feeling of being free was really good.

"I hope that next time we meet, your eyes won't show any hesitation, Marshal Kuzan."

Although we cannot utilize the power of the navy, it is not like starting from scratch.

Hanging from his shirt pocket was a card with a flaming bat.

It also has the Joker's autograph on it.

"Did I hesitate..."

Aokiji exhaled cold air.

red chiled i.
If I remember correctly, that seems to be Kaido's territory?

In the dance hall of Dressrosa Kingdom.

The neon lights are eye-catching.

The petals of the flower in the dancer's hand suddenly fell, and the iron needle hidden in the middle of the pistil emitted a cold light, and the green branches were held in the dancer's hand.

The posture of raising a leg to present flowers suddenly turned into a fierce stabbing.

This pretty face...

Violet could never forget that it was this woman who opened the palace gate as a maid.

Her humiliation of Doflamingo's identity also began from that day.

"I thought you had forgotten, Princess."

Monet smiled faintly and had no intention of dodging.

"I will never forget you, bitch!"

Violet hated traitors even more than invaders.

The iron needle pierced Monet's forehead.

There was no bloody scene with brains splattering everywhere, but it was as smooth as stepping into a snowdrift. Monet was a natural ability user after all.

But before she could fight back, Violet was pinched by a hand.

The whole person was lifted up.

There is no skill involved, it's just pure crushing with strength and speed.

"You seem a little anxious, ma'am."

Although Buggy had a joking smile on his face, the oppression he brought to Violet was comparable to that of Mingo.

How could it be possible, a clown?!

Violet's heart skipped a beat, and Monet was also looking at her with a joking look...

This is a real clown!
That three billion lunatic!

However, although Monet has disappeared for a long time, she used to stand with Don Quixote's family. Why is she with the Joker?
Violet was a little confused for a moment.

Although she also joined Don Quixote, she never got to know the real core part.

So we don’t know much about Monet’s existence.

Violet touched her index finger and thumb together, making an OK sign, and placed it in front of her left eye.

This is the ability of her Staring Fruit.

The art of observing the mind.

This way you can get a glimpse into what's going on in his heart.

His eyes fell on the clown.

She wanted to make sure if this was the real clown.

Just a glance.

Violet seemed to be contaminated, covering her head with a distorted face.

The hoarse mouth kept retching.

It’s a mess!

The other party seemed like a collection of messy information, and at the same moment, it seemed that tens of thousands of pieces of information appeared simultaneously.

The moment she saw it, her brain was instantly overloaded.

But this does confirm that it is that madman!

That madman who would cut his body into tens of thousands of pieces!
This was Violet's previous understanding, and now there is one more layer.

This madman even split his spirit into tens of thousands of pieces.

"Stopping the show midway is not a very polite thing to do to the audience."

It is hard to imagine that a patient with such a degree of schizophrenia can actually talk to himself with a smile.

"Two questions, one thing."

His words even made sense.

Bucky knew exactly what the dancer was thinking.

After all, the other party is in your hands.

Unfortunately, the dance performance stopped there.

His expression did not change, and he continued:
"Where's Doflamingo?"

"Where is your father?"

"Don't tell me you didn't know that, beautiful."

He narrowed his eyes again, but kept exerting force on the other person's fingers.

"Uh" the dancer's breathing became a little rapid.

His face was extremely pale, but he finally regained some rationality from the pollution.

"Brother Ming is still in the palace."

"I don't know about my father either. Brother Ming saw my ability and asked me to pledge my loyalty in exchange for my father's life."

"And he didn't lock your father up. He would send you a fingernail fragment every holiday. If you failed a mission, he would send you a hand. If you failed three times, you would receive your father's two hands and a head?"

What kind of hell idea is this!?
Violet's eyes flashed with fear.

If Brother Ming had really done that, I would have probably died in a mission, right?

"No, he let my father go."

"it's a pity."

Buggy sighed softly, not sure whether he was talking about this matter or about Mingge himself.

"But I suppose you can find a way to contact your father?"

His eyes followed suit.

The dancer responded with silence.

The Geng Geng Fruit has more than just a use for mind-reading, it also has the ability to see through distance like a bird's eyes.

It was not difficult to find her father in the kingdom.

"Then help me convey the message."

"Well, a flying ship loaded with explosives is heading towards the kingdom's capital."

"If you don't want to see the entire kingdom blown up, have him launch a crusade against the Don Quixote family before dawn."

"It would be best if I could meet him at the top of King's Highland."

If you can threaten once, you can threaten twice.

Bucky really likes these guys who have an overabundance of responsibility.

"Otherwise, it would go boom, and it would be pretty nice."

A flying ship loaded with explosives?!
The dancer's pupils shrank sharply and her pale face was full of disbelief.

It was as if I had heard something from the Arabian Nights.

"Don't worry about whether he will believe it or not. Before that, I will set off some fireworks."

Bucky's smile was particularly bright, as if he was saying that he would bring a bag of fruit to your house later.

Well, it is quite appropriate to replace the fruit with missiles.

Can't he do it?
Violet didn't dare to gamble with the life of a kingdom.

"Of course, you can also tell Brother Ming the news."

"I don't mind."

I mind it a lot!
What a devilish joke!

With a reputation of 3 billion, all the islands he visited were in ruins.

These reputations continue to add credibility to Baki's words.

The dancer wanted to run to the palace right away and inform the family cadres to catch this madman.

Brother Ming is just a prisoner, this madman wants to drag everyone to death!
The tension in the neck relaxes.

The dancer's boots finally reached the ground.

She took a few deep breaths and wanted to use her mind-reading technique to take another look at Bucky's heart.

Find out the truth.

But then I thought of the scene just now.

My heart was pounding.

I simply took a look at Monet.

"Two people came to watch the dance together, are they on a date?"

"I'm so happy. The young master is teaching that woman a lesson for me."

"I wonder if the young master will ride me again later."

This woman is hopeless!
The dancer just glanced sideways and wanted to hurry up and pass on the message.

Just after taking two steps, Bucky called him back.

"still have a question."

Aren’t these two questions? Never mind, I can’t beat them.

"You said."

"Can you finish the dance?"

"."

This dance was definitely the most nervous Violet had ever danced.

A clown who just threatened to blow up your entire family is watching down there.

The night flows by like water.

I was anxious to inform them of the news.

In this state, Violet's dance was stumbling.

Fortunately, the few spectators in the audience didn't care.

Bucky kept watching but started talking to the cloth worker.

"Did you enjoy the show tonight?"

"Indeed. Very unusual."

René picked the word out from his limited vocabulary.

It was quite exciting to watch, but as an ordinary person who grew up in the new world, he was still relatively adaptable.

His neighbor was suddenly killed by a fight between pirates while he was sleeping, and his house and all the people in it were blown up.

But I'm very happy today.

The factory exploded.

"Are you interested in performing on stage?"

"I can't do it."

René's eyes were evasive.

"Then add this and this."

Buggy holds a polka-dot artificial devil fruit in one hand and a black Buggy bomb, an improved and upgraded version, in the other.
