One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 173 Hero's Justice

"Zhan Guo! What are you doing, old man! Why don't you leave Zefa here?"

"Don't you know what the consequences will be if he really rebels against the navy?"

"He is not young anymore, he will die!!"

The series of roars forced Zhan Guo to push Den Den Mushi a few steps away. Then he sneered twice and waited obediently for Xiao He to calm down.

I'm afraid Crane is the only one in the entire navy who would yell at him like this.

Neither can Karp, he will yell back.

Moreover, it was indeed his willfulness in this matter.

He has a keen sense of smell and understands his old friend's feelings very well, so when he learned that Zefa had taken on the task of temporarily escorting the Power Rock, he immediately transferred Sengoku, who was on vacation nearby, over.

Although Sengoku is retired, he still holds a position as a major inspector in the navy, so the transfer of He is reasonable.

Crane's request was also very simple.

The worst case scenario is that we can’t let Zefa continue to escort us.

In other words, the ones who really need to be escorted are this group of pirate guerrillas.

She believed that what impressed the Joker was not the G1 base or the dangerous Power Rock, but this pirate guerrilla group and the former admiral, Black Arm Zephyr.

As a result, after He woke up after a night's rest, he found that Sengoku, who was supposed to stop Zefa, had done nothing. It was as if they were really old friends who suddenly met in the sea, and then said hello and left.

Suddenly he was furious.

"That's how he wanted to die."

After the roar in the microphone died down, Zhan Guo put down the bowl of noodles in his hand and spoke calmly.

"That can't be..."

He gritted his teeth and paused halfway through his scolding.

Zefa is not getting young anymore, and neither is she.

They have grown old a long time ago.

Therefore, He can actually understand Zefa's thoughts, but from an emotional point of view, she just hopes that her old friend can enjoy his old age.

"He did nothing wrong, but he is the one who has been hurt the most among us."

Tsuru knew about recruiting Whitebeard II as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but did not object.

Winning over a pirate who can help them clean up the remnants of Whitebeard while not expanding their power will be beneficial to the navy as a whole.

This is a rational choice.

"Do you remember what Zefa's justice is?"

"It happened a long time ago. He rarely mentioned it after he became the chief instructor."

"We will not forget." Zhan Guo sat up straight, as if he was going to pick up a pen to write.

"His justice is a hero's justice."

"For decades, he has never wavered!"

The belief in not killing the general is heroic.

Just like the picture books that were popular in their time, the hero defeated the evil villain, and the villain finally woke up after the blow and started to live a serious life.

This hero is so stupid.

Sengoku remembered that in their time, Zephyr and Garp were even nicknamed big fools.

One has a heroic spirit, the other is as straight as can be.

But later, one became an admiral who could not be killed and whose reputation resounded throughout the sea, and the other became a naval hero.

"And..." Zhan Guo smiled again, "This batch of power rocks was not sent to that place. The nobles of Prodans Island spent a high price to buy this thing from the Celestial Dragons."

"It's okay even if I fail."

After hearing this, He's expression finally looked a little better.

She hadn't had time to understand the mission of the transport ship.

Although the Navy has the Power Rock, its use requires the consent of the Five Elders, so even during the War of Marineford, Sengoku did not use it.

And according to her understanding, this level of power rock is a miniaturized bomb. Although its power is considerable, it does not exceed a certain range.

It is not impossible if a noble were to pay a high price to purchase it from the Celestial Dragons.

After all, one third of the Celestial Dragons' wealth was taken away by the Clown in one wave, and now even the price of Heavenly Gold has risen a lot.

"That's why!"

Seeing the silence on the other end of the microphone, Zhan Guo's mood suddenly improved a lot. He stood up with his legs propped up. His face looked old under his gray hair.

But the mentality is much younger.

I even feel like making a joke.

"Don't be so serious all the time."

"Smile more."

……

……

“Uuhahahahahaha!”

The clown's laughter is crazy and shrill, an undisguised display of arrogance and sarcasm.

As if seeing the flying squirrel's eyes and eyebrows that looked like they were tied together, laughter spread through the package of the box.

"What happened?"

There came a questioning voice from the other end of the phone.

"No, it's nothing. I'll take care of it."

The flying squirrel whispered a few words and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"I almost forgot that you are still a living head."

Out of caution, he always carried the head with him, and habitually thought that it was a dead object.

"I thought you were going to sleep forever."

He opened the box, revealing the clown's pale face and the arrogant corners of his mouth that he couldn't let go of.

"How interesting."

Bucky licked the corner of his mouth and thought that this was a great way for him to make his debut.

Second only to the time he scared Moria while lying in the coffin.

I just happened to hear the name of an old friend.

As far as I can remember, Sartan had also personally taken part in the fight and confronted the Straw Hat Pirates who had become the Four Queens, but as for Buggy, I've never seen this guy leave Marijoa.

It seems that Egghead still needs to make a trip. It would be best if he could fish out Satan and then send this old man to the kingdom of transvestites!
Thinking of this, Bucky felt much better.

"Look, I didn't do anything. I was even very considerate of you."

He grinned and sounded happy.

"If you don't come to me, I will have no choice but to rip off my head and send it to G...G which one? Oh, right, G1, G1 branch!"

"I like this name!"

"But look how much they want to kill me."

"Even if there is only one possibility."

"And it only requires sacrificing one town and base."

"How much is this deal worth?!"

Bucky made faces, his expression changing from aggrieved to contemptuous.

"Honestly." He smacked his lips again, "If there is such an opportunity, and I can exchange a town for the death of one of the Five Elders, I will definitely not be polite."

"What a shame! Why doesn't old Satan come and kill me?"

The flying squirrel did not respond.

He just clenched his palm on the hilt of the knife a few times, and also touched the seastone shackles in his arms a few times.

When a person is upset and there is a head chattering away, how would he feel?
The flying squirrel has thought many times about dying together with the clown.

Grab the damn head and stuff seastone shackles in his mouth to disable his disgusting abilities, then cut the damn clown into pieces with a samurai sword!
"Speaking of which, I have another strange thing."

Bucky seemed not to care about the other party's malicious look and curled the corner of his mouth again.

Two hands from somewhere crossed together and nodded a few times.

"Why, why would an executioner like you bring along such a boring burden like the townspeople?"

Who is a flying squirrel?

One of the five lieutenant generals of the Demon Slayer Order, he bombed the Judicial Island without blinking an eye, but now he hesitates over a base.

As he was speaking, the flying squirrel hit his head several times with a samurai sword, and the cut went from his forehead to the back of his head.

But without the use of seastone, it can only be said to be painless.

By the way, because Buggy made drastic changes to the original plot, the famous scene where he was chopped into a microorganism by Hawkeye was gone. It's a bit of a pity.

Have a chance to practice with Hawkeye.

The flying squirrel was obviously venting its anger. Although it didn't dare to kill due to the gas that filled the entire island, it could at least vent its anger.

"I told you, this is my town."

“But she’s not stable right now.”

"I saw."

Bucky narrowed his eyes, "Darkness is the filth that contains people's hearts, and it also makes people sink."

"Someone broke into the residents' house and looted all their belongings."

Hearing this, the flying squirrel's expression remained unchanged.

If it were a normal situation, he would not allow it, but now is a time of panic among the people and the soldiers also need to vent.

The saying "the army is as powerful as a comb" does not come out of thin air.

Not all navies have a firm belief in justice.

"Well, that's all I can say."

"The dark and disorderly environment, the weak lambs, the soldiers holding sharp weapons, many things are not easy to convey through my mouth, otherwise I will encounter ominous things."

Buggy squinted his eyes, as if to convey the image perceived by his other body to the vice admiral in front of him.

“This is your town, but it soon won’t be.”

"Let's make a bet."

Bucky has learned to amuse himself.

And it can be roughly confirmed that I probably don't have the aura of the protagonist.

People with the aura of a protagonist should be faced with endless major events wherever they go, as well as villains who can't wait to slap them in the face.

Bucky is different.

He is the one with endless events.

"can."

The flying squirrel agreed to what the clown said.

He was not unable to see the situation clearly.

Their best chance would be before the gas enveloped the entire island, but now...

The bomb switch was in the Joker's hand, but they didn't grab the switch that could kill the Joker.

Even the only advantage, the clown's head, was offered by the opponent himself.

So, flying squirrels will not refuse any opportunity to struggle.

"Hahahaha, I like your straightforwardness."

"Let's make a bet on the number of people who can get on board."

"Boarding?"

The flying squirrel was stunned. Without his order, no one should go on board the ship.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you."

Bucky yawned, "While you guys were busy, I was busy for a while too."

"There is only one warship that can move in the port now."

"That makes it easier to guess, right?"

If you bet on the two warships at the base - there were originally three but one of them was a transport ship, plus the various boats at the town's dock, it would be hard to say.

Games that are too complicated will discourage people from playing.

To keep things simple, he only left one.

"Let's bet on the number of people who will board this warship and leave."

As soon as Buggy finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi on the flying squirrel's desk started chirping again.

"Your Excellency, the base commander, the bottom of a warship in the harbor has been cut open, and it is still sinking!"

The anxious voice of a soldier came from the microphone.

The warships that could leave at any time were part of their confidence, but they watched helplessly as this confidence was halved.

“Is there any way to salvage it?”

"Commodore Capone is working on it!"

T Capone really worked hard.

Carrying a wrist-sized hemp rope on his shoulder, he did his best to drag the warship that was sinking slowly behind him like a boatman.

“Try harder!!”

His face was gloomy and thin, like a zombie, but he tied a hemp rope around his waist and his subordinates followed him.

The stone bricks under his feet had been broken by his powerful feet, and he was unable to take a single step forward.

The warship sank little by little.

"I see."

The flying squirrel said with a straight face, "Don't bother Capone."

"Protect the remaining warship and don't let any strangers get close to it, including the limbs and Kibin."

The G1 branch is in a complete dead end right now.

Without the support of the headquarters, the base could not open up a wind duct to exchange air relying on its own strength.

Now there is only one ship left...

"So, have you considered taking me with you to claim the bounty?"

"Oh no, you probably didn't get the bounty. Are you going to get a promotion? With such a great contribution, can you be promoted to general?"

Bucky said with amusement.

"The stakes haven't been set yet."

"My terms are simple."

The flying squirrel was not affected by him at all, but was trying hard to think of a way to break the impasse.

"I won the bet, and I'll disperse this gas."

"Of course, I am a peace-loving person."

Bucky grinned.

This can be attested to by the prisoners on the prison ship.

"What if you lose? Have you thought about what will happen if you lose?"

Lost?

The worst that could happen is that we'll all be blown to death.

"Just an explosion? That's not bad, but I have some new ideas now."

Bucky rubbed his hands that he had left in the town, with an excited expression on his face.

"Don't kill the general. I quite like this title."

"I mean, can you try to be a lieutenant general who doesn't kill?"

"You know, after being at sea for a long time, it's easy to miss the old days, especially some interesting people."

"Shaping is also a way of recalling memories. It would be even better if you are willing to wear a bat mask!"

"It should be fun hehe!"

Bucky grinned.

Ming Ge and the others are not fun to play with, so it’s better to create one of his own. Of course, he won’t use it to compete with Batman from the beginning.

Just a try.

If that doesn't work out, he'll go play Harley Quinn, and then they can shoot a poster together.

This is really crazy.

The flying squirrel looked at Bucky's expectant eyes and came to a conclusion in his mind.

Not killing the lieutenant general, what a ridiculous thing!
Although as Zefa's students, they also sympathized with his situation, but they were more contemptuous of his Madonna-like kindness.

Not killing the general would only result in endless sadness.

T Capone, who was as kind and friendly as a knight, actually ended up having his head chopped off by the civilians behind him, and then exchanged his head for a bounty with the Cross Guild.

Of course, this is what would happen on the original trajectory.

Compared with destruction, it is not too much to be a condition of mercy.

The flying squirrel hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."
