One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 169 Remember to Knock
"This is best."

Bucky chuckled a few times, "You can definitely do it."

As he spoke, the headless body took a few steps forward, swayed, and stood in front of Javier.

The orange sunlight shone in from behind the doors and windows, stretching his shadow extremely long. The shadow of a knife turned and stuck to Javier's face.

Cool.

His heart seemed to be about to jump out.

It was as if I was standing at the devil's gambling table, betting my entire life on it, betting on overnight wealth.

Javier's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling.

One tenth of 3.2 billion Baileys!
Let’s gamble! Let’s gamble!
He threw the rag away and wiped his hands vigorously on the inside of his wrists, the cleanest part of his body.

Then take the head.

The cut was not bloody and was very smooth, but the eyes on the head seemed to drill into people's hearts.

"Believe me hehehe."

Bucky said again.

Javier is very honest.

Or he is a qualified gambler who doesn't care about anything once he sits at the card table.

"Have you got a boat or canoe?"

"No...no."

He had found a clean box, wrapped it with two layers of red satin, and placed Bucky's head inside.

His body was completely clean.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Bucky's question.

Javier used to have a boat and was a pirate, but later he encountered a shipwreck and was the only one who survived among his companions.

There was not even a bounty on the list.

After getting ashore, he was so disheartened that he found a prostitute to be his partner.

But the nature of a pirate makes this guy unable to settle down at all.

Like a beast that has tasted human blood.

But he couldn't rob others, and there was nowhere to steal. He no longer had the courage to go out to sea. In the end, he found that excitement again at the gambling table.

He had gambled away everything.

He had put a lot of thought into just a box of the right size and two pieces of clean red silk.

"Then I suggest you hurry up and grab one."

"It will be gone in a while."

"What do you mean?" Javier was stunned.

"You haven't heard of the legend of clowns, it's in the newspapers."

Bucky moved his head and found a comfortable position.

"Wherever the clown walks, there is only blood and fire."

"What a slander! I clearly left behind a lot of interesting things."

He looked indignant, then his eyes turned again, and he grabbed a red switch with one hand and put it in Javier's hand.

"Why are you so serious?"

"Like me."

"Smile."

Inside the box, the clown's mouth was raised high, and his toothy smile was particularly brilliant.

Javier grinned.

“And then flip the switch.”

He did as he was told.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the town, the roof tiles were blown off by the flames, and black smoke suddenly rolled up.

"Yes, you did it."

Bucky made a timely follow-up blow.

"You have nothing to lose anyway, right?"

Before Javier could retort, another burst of fire shot up into the sky, and the aftermath even hit him.

Boat, boat!
The loud noise seemed to wake his brain up, and he ran wildly with the box in his arms.

"The boat doesn't need to be too big, a small one will do. I can paddle directly. This place is not that far from the naval base."

"Mitra and the others live outside of town, so they'll be fine."

At the pier.

The sudden loud noise attracted the attention of all the thieves, and for a moment no one noticed Javier's panicked voice.

He found a small ferry boat, untied the rope, and swung the wooden oars left and right.

"Javier, what the hell are you doing?"

The boat owner came to his senses and saw at a glance that it was the gambler in the town, and he started to curse at him without any mercy.

"You dare to steal my ship? Aren't you afraid that our Wine Barrel Pirates will chop off all your fingers?"

"And your two bastards!"

The boat owner cursed and yelled, but Javier rowed even faster.

His lips were dry and white, and the teeth inside were dark yellow.

There should be a cigarette at this time.

"I bet it all!"

Javier couldn't find any cigarettes, so he could only suppress the regret or fear that arose in his heart.

He is a nothing, a minion with no bounty, yet he wants to exchange the bounty of a pirate with a bounty of 3.2 billion berries for his bounty!

"How long will the bombing last?"

He had already rowed some distance away, and the boat owner was still shouting and cursing, trying to find another boat to catch up, but a sudden explosion nearby forced him to flee with his head in his hands.

Explosions continued in the town.

"You flipped the switch, and you ask me?"

"How many more do you want to blow up?"

Bucky curled his lips and said softly.

Since Javier was willing to gamble, he didn't mind letting the other party gamble a little bigger and let the other party feel a little more burdened.

"Then..." Javier swallowed, his eyes flickering. It was he who pressed the switch...

"Let's do it until it's all blown up."

“Hahahaha, I like this answer.”

"Until the explosion is over!"

Bucky sneered a few times, and the explosions in the town were like firecrackers.

He likes the sound of this.

All it takes is a puff of gas and a spark.

From this perspective, the choice of Gas Fruit is indeed a good one.

There are also fun fruits...

Buggy hasn't swallowed the fruit yet because he's afraid that he might get so bloated that his brain would explode.

Oh yeah, he’s a demon now, he may not even have a brain.

Hahahaha, a new joke.

I like this.

We should find Blackbeard first, and it would be best if we could cut him open and study him. Fans have always believed that this guy can eat more than two devil fruits.

That means there is potential to be studied.

This is his own aspect, Bucky is not in a hurry yet.

He also doesn't mind external forces.

The air here is so good, it would be a shame not to get some dynamic rock to blast it!

...

"Sir, we are here."

Javier said respectfully to the box.

The orange-yellow sunlight has already fallen, and the bright moonlight shines down, making the water sparkle.

The boat moored on the shore.

The islands with naval garrisons are obviously more orderly. After nightfall, you can still see sporadic lights on in the towns not far away.

If this is a town where pirates have set up their flag, it would be brightly lit and party time.

The base with the naval logo is on the left side of the town. It is obviously in a better location. There is a circular bay with three warships anchored.

A column of light was spinning from the lighthouse, sweeping across the sea.

"well done."

Bucky praised a few words, and outside the box, a ball of gas gathered and formed the shape of a body, a headless body, and then walked towards the base.

"Sir, what is he going to do?"

"Of course I'm having fun." "Have fun, you're here to get paid."

Bucky gave the other person some instructions and showed a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"Yes, keep smiling like that, then walk to the gate of the base and knock three times politely, like this, dong dong dong, and then tell people when you see them that the clown's head has been delivered, and there's a reward of 3.2 billion. We agreed on 19% of it, hahahaha."

This is a madman...

Javier had cold sweat on his forehead and was scared to death, but he still followed the Joker's instructions and moved closer to the gate of the base.

If he wasn't a madman, how could he take off his own head and exchange it for a bounty...

The place where they docked was on the back of the island, where there were shallow reefs and the water was shallow, making it unsuitable for use as a port.

Fortunately, there were not many people there.

Javier shook his head thankfully, hugged the box to his chest, and jogged off.

It's already night time. I wonder if the base will still accept bounty hunters?
Javier couldn't wait the night, and the Joker had no intention of doing so.

He went into the town.

There were sporadic lights on the streets at night, and naval soldiers in white uniforms walked by from time to time in the light.

This is the New World, the G1 branch of the Navy.

It was the first nail they drove into this world rampant with pirates, connecting the Red Earth Continent behind and Marijoa above.

Its position in the navy is second only to the newly rebuilt headquarters.

It also has extraordinary significance for world governments.

The long-term stable environment and convenient transportation have made the streets here exceptionally wide, with houses lined up on both sides. Javier feels that a street is bigger than his original town.

At first, Javier instinctively avoided the patrolling navy, but only realized it after being ridiculed by the clown.

There is no bounty on him at all. He is a pirate who can't even get a bounty. Damn it.

I am a bounty hunter now.

He encouraged himself.

Walk up to the navy bravely.

Before he could even open his mouth, he was grabbed by several soldiers.

The reason is simple. Javier's image is too bad, and he appeared in the middle of the night. It would be right to arrest such a person.

"Wait, I'm a bounty hunter!"

"I brought a pirate's head!"

He shouted repeatedly, but several navy men still looked suspicious.

Javier felt like he had stepped out of the Joker's script, in an unexpected way.

He was captured directly by several marines and taken back to the base.

Imprisoned in a cell with only a dim light.

"We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything. You just stay here tonight!"

The officer with military rank said with a frown.

Their footsteps faded away.

I could also vaguely hear a childish voice asking:

"Boss, if this guy is really a bounty hunter, it would be wrong for us to lock him up for no reason, right?"

"Oh, bullshit bounty hunter!"

The navy officer with military rank saw it more clearly. "That's a hyena. Who knows where it got the head from!"

"The Colonel is busy recruiting soldiers and has no time to care about this hyena. Or do you want to bother Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel?"

"Don't dare..."

The servant lowered his head and replied weakly.

A naval base has at least several thousand people. Of course, it is impossible for the flying squirrel to review everything, and middle-level officers also come out to take corresponding responsibilities.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow when the Colonel is free."

"Alas, it has been half a month since the conscription started, and I haven't seen many strong men, but there are quite a few old, weak, sick and disabled people."

The officer shook his head and talked about some things that happened during the day.

"Today I saw an old blind man come over and said he wanted to join the army, which really made me laugh to death."

The voice became farther and farther away, and Javier's expression became more and more bitter.

He definitely wasn't capable of escaping from this prison, so he would continue to suffer at the gambling table.

It's like, after you've finished all in and are waiting for the dealer to open the pot, the sexy dealer suddenly yawns and says he's going to take a nap and will open the pot tomorrow. It's the same torment.

It's so uncomfortable.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Then wait until tomorrow morning and try knocking on the door again."

"I think the reason for this tonight must be because you didn't knock on the door."

Bucky gave him a serious suggestion.

If Javier knocked on the door seriously, he would still be known as a clown.

Yes, he promised.

This base will be in emergency mode within three minutes.

Isn't this similar to what Smoker and the others want?
As soon as there was news of his appearance, the G1 branch would definitely keep away from dangerous objects like the Power Rock and clowns.

In this way, Zefa and his friends will have a chance to find places where large amounts of power rocks are stored or where power rocks are manufactured.

The Navy has always been reluctant to use this thing.

Maybe he's holding back on something big.

A small amount of Power Rock isn't enough to impress the Joker, he can achieve a similar effect by blowing himself up.

"Yes Yes."

Javier replied with a wry smile.

There are pros and cons to following a crazy boss.

The good thing is that it always makes people feel at ease.

There is nothing more dangerous than the Mad Boss himself.

The downside is that there is no one to discuss it with.

Difficult!

Javier's eyes were still red as he hugged the box containing the head tightly. He was not afraid of being robbed, but he was more afraid that the head in the box would grow legs and run away.

This is not impossible.

In that case, I would really have nothing.

Javier had an anxious look on his face, and the oil lamp dimmed little by little.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The Joker is still busy.

He always enriches himself in this way.

The headless bodies do their own things.

White mist also emerged from the sea, entwining with the neon-colored air masses to form a thick fog that even sunlight could not penetrate.

"You're not opening today?"

A blind old man in wooden clogs poked the familiar wooden door a few times with the probing stick in his hand.

This place should be wide open.

"You don't need to sleep if you work in a gambling den?"

"It's not even daybreak yet!"

The wooden door opened a little, a head popped out and spoke rudely.

"It's not daybreak yet?"

"Are you kidding me, little brother?"

Yixiao was stunned for a moment. He woke up at this time every day. It should be bright outside now. Even if it was cloudy, the gambling dens would still be open.

"Hey, I almost forgot you're blind!"

"I told you, it's still pitch black outside, I can't see a thing!"

"I can definitely catch up on two more hours of sleep!"

The servant feels very happy today.

It's the kind of happiness that comes from waking up unexpectedly in the early morning and finding that you can still sleep for a few more hours.

"I have a bad feeling."

After leaving the gambling den, Yixiao tapped the dirt and rocks with his walking stick, and he determined the direction by the sound.

"Let's go check out the base. I didn't explain this clearly to the guys yesterday, so I have to show them off today."

In the thick fog, Yixiao could only hear the sound of his own footsteps. The whole town seemed to have not woken up yet, and there was a sense of dead silence in the dullness.

He followed the route he had noted yesterday and walked to the small gate next to the main gate of the naval base.

He reached out his hand and knocked three times.
