One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 167 Game of Kings
One end of the microphone.

Bucky smiled oddly.

"Well I like this start."

"It's too polite to say these words just to meet once. If it was Zhan Guo who said this, I might consider it."

"I don't know whether he saw it or not."

"But it's not practical for people like us."

Bucky flicked his fingers a few times.

Walk out of a dark room.

The entire King's Pit is in a downward spiral.

The stone stairs extend downward in circles, and stone caves are dug out on the walls of the pit.

The room where Bucky stayed was similar.

But he was in a high position facing the sun and could almost see the flat ground.

Similarly, as soon as I walked out the door, I was enveloped by the glaring sunlight.

There was no warm feeling, but instead it was filled with silence.

Outside the cave is an arc-shaped viewing platform, looking down.

A dozen small black dots are entangled together.

This is the second option besides 007, fighting in the arena.

Originally, Buggy didn't want to care about them. Unlike Crocodile, he never considered how to end the fun.

These people can do whatever they want.

But this group of people just want to call him the savior.

That would be fun.

Bucky had to show them what a savior was.

007 is the blessing given to them by the savior!

His footsteps were slow, but loud enough for the smoker on the other end of the phone to hear.

"us…"

He paused, as if he wanted to argue.

But he soon laughed at himself.

"Oh, that's true."

What kind of people are they...

Smoker used to think that he represented the side of justice, but now it seems that he may very well become part of the most evil people in the eyes of the World Government.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Bucky laughed dryly a few times without any emotion, and his laughter was a bit creepy. He stepped outside the stone platform and stepped on the air.

The Den Den Mushi is caught in the hand.

"Be direct, who should we kill first?"

"Or, who knows the location of the Power Rock? After all, we have the same goal."

"You said so, right?
Hey hey hey. "

He chuckled a few times.

Malinvando.

Smoker looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, then turned his head and saw his teacher Zephyr standing in front of the window.

Zefa has short purple hair, wears a black coat, and has a thick mechanical device on his right hand. Although his face looks old, his muscles are still very strong.

"Only the admiral and a few lieutenant generals of the headquarters have the right to know about the existence of the power rock."

"The Navy... The World Government... Heh."

"I can't quite tell whether it's rotten to the core or whether it's been rotten from the beginning."

When Zefa said this, his expression was relaxed and there was even a smile on his face.

It's just an understatement, a denial of one's entire life.

The last bit of hope in my heart was shattered and then became dull.

The navy was willing to cooperate with a pirate like Edward II, so one can imagine the weight of the word justice.

"Teacher, if the person you are working with is a clown, I think you still need to be cautious. At least, you need to be extra careful when interacting with him."

"His intentions and actions are always unpredictable and... unscrupulous."

Smoker felt depressed when he thought of his own experience.

I should be the first person whose abilities were forcibly taken away by someone, right?

"That's just right."

Zefa turned his head and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye. The newly built Marinford was very beautiful, and the families of the naval officers were brought to live in the headquarters town.

Including the room under their feet, this is also the treatment that Zefa can get as a former admiral.

In this world where pirates are rampant, Marinford is indeed a place where officers can feel at ease.

They really won't make the same mistakes they made when they were younger.

But he was still holding a small pill tightly in his hand.

These people have never stood on the side of justice!
"This thing seems to bring me back to my youth. Ain's ability cannot do this."

Ain and Binz were the two students who survived the training ship incident and were also the cadres of the pirate guerrilla team he later formed.

But now, Zefa is no longer satisfied with this.

"But the side effect of this deadly drug is aging!"

"So it's just right for an old man like me to use it."

"The Joker knows that, too."

The deadly drug ES was given to Smoker by the Joker, including the conditions of exchange.

For Zefa, exchanging Power Rock for ES is a win-win situation.

"The new era of pirates was opened with Roger's life. If I can use my frail body to open a new era for the navy and the world government..."

“That’s totally worth it hehe!”

Zefa's laughter is particularly hearty.

Smoker's heart sank again and again.

All the sailors who have served under Zefa know that if the chief instructor just has a stern face, then everything is fine. But if the chief instructor smiles particularly heartily, it means that he has made an important decision.

"If the power is true, if this thing falls into the hands of the clown..."

It was hard for Smoker to imagine how terrible it would be if such a powerful weapon fell into the hands of the Joker!

The world government will definitely be worried.

"Yes."

"But it is most useless if this thing is kept in the hands of the navy."

Zefa dragged his heavy right arm across the floor, making a creaking sound.

"The G1 branch in the New World has a secret transportation mission, which is likely to be the Power Rock."

At his level, he can access a lot of things.

Just need to verify each other to lock in the approximate range.

"But the kinetic rock won't be shipped in large quantities."

“We need to find a place to store it.”

As a former admiral, Zefa also has enough knowledge about the power rock, but that was thirty years ago. Where is the power rock now...

"If the Joker shows any intention of touching the Power Rock, it will directly touch the sensitive nerves of the World Government."

"But the meaning of cooperation is that we each complete the parts that are inconvenient for the other party to complete."

Zefa is not as extreme as his emotions, his thoughts are organized.

But it also shows how determined he is at the moment.

"The power rock should be placed in the hands of those who dare to use it."

The navy clearly holds this powerful weapon, but still allows pirates to wreak havoc. A world full of pirates is actually called the New World.

How ridiculous!

Zefa wants to give this thing to someone who dares to use it.

"Whether it's the justice of the navy or the freedom of pirates, these things... it would be better if we cleaned them all up and started over again!"

The Joker blowing up a base and killing a lieutenant general are nothing compared to his previous deeds, but once the Joker reveals his intentions for the Power Rock, the World Government will definitely go crazy.

There is nothing in this world that the Joker dares not blow up!

This is no different from letting a madman carry a nuclear bomb code box.

People all over the world will not be able to sleep!
But Zefa didn't care anymore.

The way he thought of to start a new era was also very simple.

Wash them all!
the other side.

Cyrus was at the bottom of the pit, looking up and circling around. The arena culture of the Dressrosa Kingdom has a long history, and he himself also stood out in the arena.

Claiming to be undefeated in 3,000 games!
He fought in the arena and even held the princess in his arms.

Coming here is like coming home.

But the arena before him was very different from the ones he had been to before.

There was no outsider who roared just to see the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, nor was there anyone looking down from above to watch the monkey show they were performing.

There is a feeling of being deserted.

Although the savior is a bit bad, it is truly fair.

No matter whether you are an aristocratic talent or a family cadre, the people of the country have two choices when facing the clown.

Either enter the factory as 007 or enter the arena.

Spend money?

Are you going to bribe the clown with the clown's money?

Of course, there is a third option.

Just knock the clown over.

Well, it’s no different than having nothing.

Cyrus took a deep breath. Since he couldn't do the job of 007 anyway, he might as well fight in the arena.

The rules here are actually very simple.

Just stay alive.

The iron cage on the other side of the arena slowly opened, and a large beast with red eyes jumped out impatiently.

Only a few rags left on its body could identify the beast's original identity.

They are all pirates who ate artificial devil fruits.

Mingge killed most of them, but there were still many who escaped.

Bucky simply made use of the waste.

Cyrus’s understanding was actually wrong.

This arena is not without spectators, and Bucky is one of them.

After he came down from the stone platform, he sat on a layer of stone steps in the middle.

His fingers tapped occasionally on the stone steps.

"Flying Squirrel...G1 Branch...Looks like there's something to do again. Hehehe, I really want to blow something up right away."

This was the news revealed by Zephyr and Smoker.

The wailing sounds coming from below seemed to make Bucky feel a little better.

Of course, this is not even a pastime.

What really made Buggy feel good was Zephyr's performance.

"Zeff...seems to be a lot more extreme than I remember."

Buggy still remembers that in the original plot, Zefa despaired about the justice of the navy, but he never gave up the idea of ​​fighting pirates in his heart.

The "NEO" Navy, formed under the name of Z, also aims to completely eliminate pirates.

But now...

The goal seems to be broader.

But it’s also more interesting!

Bucky grinned.

I can vaguely guess the reason for this change.

It’s still a game for the Celestial Dragons.

Damn, when will they hold a new round of games? Such an interesting tradition should not be interrupted just because of my explosion!
Otherwise you'll miss out on a lot of fun!

He thought for a while, then lowered his head again.

The fight below seemed to have come to an end.

He saw a one-legged swordsman strike hard and chop off the beast's head.

"Well done."

Buggy stepped down from the height with his left foot and his right foot. The peaceful daily life was not suitable for him, and his devilish nature urged him to find his next target.

Well, Dynamic Rock is also interesting.

The relationship between this thing and the Joker is like two mutually repelling magnets. The World Government will never let the two come into contact even at the risk of their lives.

But that’s what makes it fun.

Buggy was looking forward to the expressions of the Five Elders when they saw him holding the Power Rock in his hand.

In the original plot, Zefa was planning to use this thing to blow up the entire New World.

Of course, that was the content in the movie, and it may not match his current situation.

But judging from the attitudes of Zephyr and Smoker, it must be a powerful weapon. They even wondered why the Joker knew this news.

But for now, he also planned to leave something for this country that he had not completely bombed, such as an interesting game...

"Your Excellency...the Joker."

Cyrus knelt down on one knee, giving enough face to the person in power.

"Are you interested in playing a game?"

Bucky narrowed his eyes.

"game?"

"Yes, do you want to be king?"

Cyrus was stunned. Are all pirates so straightforward?

Being a king... If I were the king, there wouldn't be this terrible choice between two options, right?
“The game is simple.”

"You will take my place temporarily and maintain the existing order... Well, let me think, two years, or three years."

"Maybe not for a year."

This condition was too simple. Cyrus looked at the clown's face and for some reason, he always had a bad feeling.

"As long as you maintain the current order for a year, you can become a regular employee."

"How about it?"

"I'm just a gladiator..."

Cyrus was confused and had no idea what the clown was trying to do.

"Of course, it's not without strings attached."

"But compared to the gains, this condition is too simple."

"During this year, you will also replace the beast in the arena and exist as the challenged one."

"And once someone kills you, they can inherit everything you have, including this game."

Cyrus understood.

The acting king not only has to maintain the order left by the clown, but also has to successfully defend the throne for a year and defeat all challengers before he can become the official king.

This condition sounds very difficult, but compared to challenging the Don Quixote family, the difficulty is actually much lower.

If he could succeed, King Liku's bloodline would be able to return to the throne.

It has to be said that Cyrus was moved.

And the clown looks very serious...

"Okay, I accept this game!"

"That couldn't be better."

Bucky nodded. Cyrus also had a daughter named Rebecca, who also played a minor role in the original plot.

If Cyrus doesn't agree, Baki is going to give Cyrus a collection mission.

Win a fight in the arena and you'll get a daughter's fragment (1/5)!
But Cyrus obeyed quickly, after all, the conditions were so tempting.

Hehe, he squinted and smiled.

"Just like that, the Joker Arena and the King's Game that will determine the ownership of the Dressrosa Kingdom have been finalized.

Many years later, there are still countless gladiators who take this road to the pinnacle of power!"

How did you say the narration?

Cyrus frowned, "I won't let this happen."

"I am the first and the last!"

As long as you can survive a year, you can change the rules yourself.

"Remember, I don't like people who don't follow the rules of the game."

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, I wish all readers good fortune and beauty~~~
