One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 182: This is not how war is fought
Three hours before the live broadcast started.

The navy's ships are already gathering.

Warships of a scale comparable to that of the Demon Slayer Order five times larger continued to gather, and the thirteen vice admirals stationed in various branch bases or who had come from the headquarters all gathered together.

"Ah, everyone gathered together at an astonishing speed."

Kizaru still looked nonchalant and even had the mood to trim his nails.

"This is a matter concerning His Excellency the Celestial Dragon, so we dare not let our guard down."

Ghost Spider said with a serious face.

"And it's also related to another of the Four Emperors, so we have to put in 120% of our energy."

"After three days in the doldrums, we have almost finished all the necessary preparations."

"I just don't know if the headquarters is ready?"

The other lieutenant generals also spoke up.

Except for Kizaru who was sitting in the main seat and Momosagi who was sitting on his right, everyone else had the same serious look on their faces.

Hearing the words of these lieutenant generals, Taotu couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha, the signal has been tracked here... We have no choice but to go up."

She felt inexplicably excited.

After such a long time, I wonder if the clown still remembers the smell of himself...

"Kaido...is he also preparing to declare war on the World Government?"

Gumil, the base commander of the G2 branch, lowered his head with a heavy expression.

The place where the chip on the Celestial Dragon finally pointed to was Wano Country.

This is Kaido's territory.

He is the guardian of Wano Country.

There has always been a tacit understanding between the Four Emperors, the Navy, and the World Government. If the Four Emperors do not touch the naval bases and Tenjojin, the Navy will not attack the islands under the control of the Four Emperors.

Of course, this kind of tacit understanding only applies to the New World.

Outside the New World is the base of the world government.

Now, Kaido's intervention in the kidnapping of the Celestial Dragons has undoubtedly broken this tacit understanding.

However, even the General Staff cannot be sure whether Kaido intends to join forces with the Joker or has already subdued him.

In short, after the tacit understanding was broken, the navy must also respond.

Before long, dozens of dark green camouflage ships were seen sailing against the wind and waves, with hundreds of pitch-black cannon barrels sounding inexplicably cold.

On the bow decks of several warships stood the figure of a small giant.

Pacifists plus warships of this magnitude, this is the Navy's current response.

At the same time, more warships are gathering at the base in the rear, ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

Although the navy has not yet recovered to its heyday, the incident of the Celestial Dragons being kidnapped has forced them to use all their strength to deal with it.

From a distance, the fleet could already see the unique cliffs of Wano Country.

There are no open seas or coasts. There are only cliffs and precipices on the outskirts of the island where Wano Country is located. The natural geographical environment isolates this country from the world.

"The question is, how do we knock on the door of this country?"

After a brief silence, Ghost Spider spoke again.

Faced with such a cliff and waterfall, the navy had no good solution, otherwise it would have taken over the country long ago.

There was a screen hanging on the background wall of the conference hall, which displayed a map of Wano Country. In the middle of the map, there was a flashing red dot.

That is the chip signal that symbolizes the Celestial Dragons.

As long as the Celestial Dragons survive, this signal will continue to flash.

Many of the marines present actually hoped that the Celestial Dragon would die.

Just like the Celestial Dragon who died at the hands of Akainu.

Be quick and simple, there's no need to involve anyone like this.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

After Demon Spider finished asking this question, everyone's eyes turned to Kizaru.

"My old bones can't withstand a few blows from that beast."

Kizaru muttered a few words first.

Kaido has been roaming the sea for so many years, and Kizaru has fought with him before.

But it was impossible to tell who was winning.

That guy's health bar seemed to have turned black, and he couldn't be killed no matter what he did. Instead, Kizaru himself would be exhausted to death first.

However, if Kizaru wants to run, Kaido won't be able to catch up.

The Sparkle-Spark Fruit is absolutely unique in terms of speed.

"But the General Staff has already given a battle plan."

The navy's advantage lies in its size and technology.

Kizaru doesn't intend to confront Kaido head-on.

Just a few dollars a month, why risk your life for this?

"If the Beasts Pirates respond, then try to negotiate or involve them, but if they don't respond...then bomb the island."

"What if they threaten the Celestial Dragons?"

"Leave it to me then."

The relationship with the Celestial Dragons is quite close, so Kizaru cannot avoid them.

"Go and look at the plan yourself. I won't leave any room for you."

After giving some instructions, Kizaru began to chase the guests away.

Except for Taotu, who remained at the scene.

The substitute general is really just one step away from taking the position this time, so there is no need to avoid the other party on some things.

Kizaru first placed a smaller white Den Den Mushi on the communication Den Den Mushi, and then spoke:

"Sword, report."

"Yes."

A voice that was neither male nor female came from the other end of the microphone.

"According to the investigation, the location indicated by the signal is not on Onigashima, Kaido's base, but on Rabbit Bowl, where prisoners and quarries are guarded in Wano Country."

"Also, although the Beasts Pirates have not shown any signs of cooperating with the Joker, their troops have already assembled a day in advance."

"It cannot be ruled out that it was premeditated."

……

……

"The Navy guessed that we wanted to get involved?"

On the ghost island.

Kaido and his two remaining disasters gathered together, looking confused.

His fleet hadn't even set out to sea yet, but how come the navy had already surrounded Wano Country in advance, as if they had predicted the future?

Can't figure it out.

If you can’t figure out a way, use your fists to open it.

That’s what Drought Jack thought.

"It's just a fleet. Leave it to me to defeat it."

Kaido and Jin completely ignored Jack's opinion.

Discussing among themselves.

"It shouldn't be like that. There are too many warships coming."

"With Kizaru included, it's definitely at the main force level."

"If we fight a navy in this state, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, which will give other pirates a chance to take advantage of the situation..."

"Any more information? Preferably from the World Government."

"No, that Doflamingo guy has gone crazy, and his intelligence network has also fallen apart."

Doflamingo is considered their partner.

The other party's information channels in the World Government are beyond the reach of Kaido and his men.

But this guy was driven crazy by the clown.

"Governor!"

"There's another piece of news!"

Intelligence officer Apu finally did not forget his responsibilities.

In fact, it was not collected by him, but the navy was using Den Den Mushi for broadcasting.

"The Navy claims that the Celestial Dragons are on the island and demands that they hand them over immediately, or else they will do whatever it takes!"

Celestial Dragons?
On our island?
Didn’t he get kidnapped by the clown?

There are more question marks above Kaido’s head.

Looking at Jack and Jhin's faces, they didn't look like they would do such a thing behind my back.

"Come on then, I've wanted to die for a long time!"

In front of his younger brothers, Kaido still maintains his image very much.

Besides, the navy has blocked the door, how can we not respond at all!
Privately tell Jhin and the others not to escalate the intensity.

That's not how war is fought.

"Also, look for any Celestial Dragons on the island."

This is also important.

Kaido doesn't want to provoke the Celestial Dragons yet.

This is the world government's Achilles' heel, they will go crazy.

Three hours flew by.

The sun, which was originally high in the sky, had already buried half of its face under the sea.

Under the cliffs off the coast of Wano Country.

The sound of gunfire was endless.

How can there be no conflict when the navy and the pirates meet? They will be scolded by the allied countries.

But once it happens, the intensity cannot be easily controlled.

Especially when there is a reckless man in the opposing lineup.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, both sides began to fight with some real fighting.

A pacifist raised his hand, and a laser shot out from his palm, instantly piercing through a pirate ship.

Black smoke rose up and debris flew into the sky from time to time.

Arne dodged the sudden shrapnel by leaning sideways, with a Den Den Mushi hooked tightly in his claws.

The Beasts Pirates and the Navy are fighting, this must be big news.

Mr. Clown would be happy to see it too.

While both sides were fighting each other.

Drake has reached the quarry in the Rabbit Bowl area.

The signal is right here.

"I'm very close to the target. The specific coordinates have been sent. You can directly injure me when necessary."

He spoke to a rather hidden Den Den Mushi on his wrist.

The Sword Secret Force is a top-secret force planted by the Navy in various pirate groups, and Drake is the captain of this team.

Of course, he has many identities.

A fallen rear admiral, one of the Worst Era, and one of the Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates.

"The old man has already set out."

Kizaru's nonchalant voice came from Den Den Mushi.

The navy had no intention of engaging Kaido head-on, they just wanted to rescue the Celestial Dragons.

Kizaru is well aware of this.

So he did not show up at all in the naval battle in the open sea.

"It's highly likely... it's no longer necessary."

Momosagi muttered as she watched Kizaru leave.

The live broadcast started a while ago.

It’s just that most people haven’t figured out what’s going on yet.

Except for Peach Rabbit.

She saw a shadow.

"You are so good at mixing with a bunch of nobles and making fun of yourself.

……

……

"Do you understand it?"

Baki enthusiastically dragged Schorleima VII over and turned the still unconscious Celestial Dragon over.

There is a rectangular gap at the back of Coral Saint's neck.

It was very straight, but without any blood seeping out.

"Well... in order to ensure the privacy of our party tonight, I have cut off that annoying chip in advance."

"And then it was lost to... um, where was it lost to, Wano Country? Or Banko Country?"

"Oh hahahaha, do you like this little magic trick?"

Baki twisted Schorlemmer VII's head and pulled open his eyes so that he could see the gap behind the Celestial Dragons.

"Anyway, we have plenty of time now."

With a glance, he saw that some nobles were trying to escape.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like some of you are ready to desert."

"Let me give you a friendly reminder."

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you sure you want to let someone who witnessed you guys physically assaulting a distinguished celestial dragon leave alone?"

In the candlelight, a tiptoeing figure suddenly stopped.

The eyes around seemed to be emitting green fire.

Always choose someone to devour.

Except Lord Tintagel.

He knew that everything that happened here was recorded from the beginning.

But this is only the second layer.

What he also didn't know was that this was a live broadcast.

"Look, as long as everyone calms down and thinks about it carefully, offending the Celestial Dragons is not a big deal."

"After all, this matter is only known by God... Earth, you and me."

When talking about Tianzhi, Buggy pointed his finger at the Den Den Mushi on the ceiling.

However, the nobles were so terrified that they didn't even bother to look up.

"Yes, yes. Anyway, the chip is not here, so no one will know what we did!"

"As long as... no one leaks it!"

"It's ok, we'll be fine!"

"I have money. I still have a lot of money to spend. Woo woo woo ~ ~"

Bang.

The clown suddenly took out a pistol and shot the crying man.

"A coward would reveal our...secrets."

Bucky hated the sound of crying like that.

The smile on his face was particularly bright.

His expression was one of immersion.

It's like performing a stage play.

Yes, stage play!
Once the melody is there, there naturally needs to be a performance to go with it, to together create a wonderful stage play.

It's going to be comedic, right?

"Yes... people like this are unreliable, unreliable!"

Schorlemmer VII said with gnashing teeth.

I stabbed a celestial dragon in public, and I must never let anyone else know about this!

It will be a very cruel death!

"I believe we have reached a consensus, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Besides not letting any extra people know about it, of course the original owner can't know about it either."

Bucky grabbed Coral Saint's head and slapped it twice.

"What should I do if I slap you twice like this, Saint Coral?"

Saint Coral regained consciousness from his trance, but before he could panic at the clown in front of him, he was overtaken by the pain on his face.

"I want his whole family to become slaves!"

Coral Saint said almost instinctively.

No one had ever slapped him like that.

"Including you, untouchable!"

He showed a fierce expression and scolded the clown.

As soon as he showed this expression, no matter who it was, they would immediately prostrate themselves at his feet and beg for forgiveness.

This has been the case since childhood.

"Oh... you didn't even offer to chop me into a paste. That's a shame. I wanted to perform one more magic trick."

Bucky stood up.

"Yes, my dear ladies and gentlemen."

"You are going to be slaves."

"Um... the whole family."

“Hehehahahaha!”

The smile on his face grew even wider.

The twenty or so nobles in the banquet hall all had their heads down, their faces extremely gloomy.

What did they just do?
It seems like there's been a lot of punching, kicking and slapping, right?

Especially Schorlemmer VII, who stabbed him.

"What are you still looking at, you untouchables!"

Saint Coral was not unaware of the change in atmosphere.

But some habits cannot be changed just by saying so.

He looked around twice, then stood up by grabbing the wooden railing of the prison van.

The knife wound on his thigh hurt so much that he cried.

"It's all because of you lowly guys that I got hurt like this."

"My father will never let you go!"

He raised his head and continued to yell at the silent nobles.

As soon as they heard his scolding, all the untouchables would kneel on the ground. This was the lesson his father taught him.

I was born noble.

"..."

"Would you like to die?"

Amid the curses, Schorlemmer VII raised his head and made his only request to the Celestial Dragon in front of him.
