One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 193 Gadgets

"Teacher, isn't that too dangerous to give to the clown?"

On the pirate guerrilla ship, Zefa and his two students sat opposite each other.

Not far behind them, there was an island with a huge eggshell standing on it, which looked very strange.

Hearing Ain's question, Zefa did not answer directly.

Instead, turn on a switch on your grinder and apply a layer of maintenance oil.

"Have you ever heard of the Bakhaniya?"

"Yes, they are the descendants of a race that committed a great crime against the World Government. They were regarded as natural slaves by the Celestial Dragons. However, this is a record from many years ago. They should be extinct now, right?"

Ion knew a little about it, and was not surprised by its near-extinction.

Slaves under the Celestial Dragons rarely live long, let alone reproduce.

"Maybe." Zefa chuckled twice.

"There is a legend about Nika among the Bakhaniya people. Legend has it that the god Nika will dance a dance of liberation to free all the slaves."

"Free all the slaves. No wonder they were hunted down and killed by the World Government."

Binz muttered a few words, he didn't understand these things very well.

On the contrary, Ain looked thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head again, "Teacher, if such a god really appears, should we follow him?"

Liberate all slaves. This goal overlaps with theirs to a certain extent.

"Do not."

After Zefa completed his daily maintenance on Smash, he lifted it up slightly and turned it around.

The crusher, like a huge tree stump, blocked out the sunlight.

A grim smile appeared on his face, "What I mean by this is that if a god like Nika really appears.

Then you must kill him!"

"The most important lesson that these few decades in my later life have taught me is...
If you want something, you must go get it yourself!"

"What's the difference between praying for God's liberation and praying for the mercy of those fat pigs in the Holy Land?"

"After God comes another God!"

Zephyr is not just disappointed with the Navy and the World Government, he is disappointed with all such wishes.

Because they will never come true.

At least he spent almost his entire life without seeing it.

Ein and Binz were already used to hearing Zefa's "treasonous" words.

But the teacher still didn't answer his own question.

"What's the point of the clown then?"

Ian continued to ask.

"The Joker. The point of the Joker is that he can break this cycle."

"Whether it's the cycle of slave to pirate, or god after god, that guy only enjoys breaking it."

"This is also the reason why I agreed to cooperate with this lunatic."

Zefa's hair had grown a lot longer, but he was in no mood to trim it. He just stroked it casually and wore a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, which made him look arrogant.

He is different from the Joker. Many of the Joker's plans are impromptu, but Zephyr considers them for a long time.

I also observed it for a long time.

Whether it was the Sabaody Archipelago or Dressrosa, that guy completely destroyed the original order and left without looking back.

He doesn't like the result, he only enjoys the process.

So use a knife.

Zefa wants a result, but he doesn't care about the process.

This is the basis of their cooperation.

"We can't simply look at him in terms of justice and evil."

"That guy is probably going to do something big again."

Thinking of the live broadcast not long ago, Zefa also had a satisfied smile on his face.

None of those pirates who claim to be bold would dare to do what the Joker is doing now.

But they also have things to do.

The weapon brought by Smoker is somewhat similar in shape to the Our Lady of Flame, but it is much smaller and is a single-shot weapon.

This is exactly what Bucky wanted.

Just want to have a good time.

And it does not have the ability to fly in the air like the Our Lady of Flame, so it can only hang on the Ark.

Fortunately, the Ark relies on the power of the devil fruit to move, otherwise it would be hard to say how fast it would move with such a big iron ball hanging on it.

All we can do is ask Vander Decken to work harder.

I believe he is used to it.

Buggy is guarding next to this iron ball.

"It's a very creative idea, but I'm more looking forward to the origin of the power rock."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't know. The important thing is to have more."

"This will make it easier to leave surprises for some old friends."

He studied it for a few days and roughly figured out the structure.

It shouldn't be difficult to replicate.
Just like the deadly medicine ES, at first he asked Caesar to replicate it, but that guy always found a lot of excuses, saying that he needed more machines and information, that this medicine handed down from ancient times had been discontinued, that it was extremely difficult to make and so on.

Later, Bucky sewed a seastone handcuff into his body, and then combined it with his flesh and blood with a time bomb.

Caesar's research efficiency increased rapidly.

Caesar, who was also studying the work of his old colleague, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

After thinking about it for a while, Buggy flipped through the intelligence information handed over by Morgans as usual.

There are many seeds here that he has planted, and we need to review them from time to time.

The most prominent ones are all about the two Four Emperors.

One is the battle between the Big Mom Pirates and the Navy.

The two sides fought at the G1 base for two days and two nights, allowing the newly appointed general Taotu to show up.

She was actually able to suppress Katakuri.

The only thing that made Buggy feel a little regretful was that not many of the top fighters on both sides died.

Overall, they are still restrained and it is estimated that they will continue to haggle over the issue of Charlotte Irving and enter a protracted war.

Just waiting for Bucky to pour another bucket of oil.

The other is about the dispute between the Beasts Pirates and the pirate alliance formed by two former Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The two sides seemed to have had some conflict on an island in the New World.

For now, it is still just an exploration.

Crocodile is not a fool. He will not rush to Kaido's base without making any preparations. He is not the protagonist.

On the contrary, Lao Sha is a very tolerant person.

The Alabasta incident is a case in point.

But compared to what Bucky is doing now, this progress is a bit slow.

We have to urge him.

Bucky's eyes narrowed again.

"Where is this bomb going to be dropped? The naval base?"

Caesar seemed in high spirits.

He was very interested in these killing weapons.

"Where do you think it's a good place to vote?"

Looking at Bucky's smile, Caesar also felt his scalp tingling. He didn't know much about the destination of the ship.

He immediately sneered again.

"Of course you decide."

"Let me ask you a question."

Buggy smiled and said, "Do you know the difference between you and Vegapunk?"

Caesar thought seriously for a while and said, "He took the Brain-Brain Fruit, and I took the Gas Fruit?"

He felt that this was an important factor that caused the gap between the two.

The Brain-Brain Fruit is so useful to scientists!

"That's one aspect."

"Caesar, as a scientist, you should understand one thing."

He called Caesar over not only to watch, but also to make use of his role.

So Bucky patiently persuaded him.

“The gap in brainpower is not the real gap. The gap in results is the gap that people can see most.”

"The only thing you lack from Vegapunk is a weapon that can prove yourself."

This statement worked well for Caesar.

His eyes moved to the big iron ball again. However, he was a bad-tempered person, so the provocation method had only a general effect on him.

Bucky didn't rush him. For some things, a few words are just an introduction, and the actual situation is the driving force.

For example, pointing a knife at someone.

Caesar was immediately motivated.

He values ​​his life very much.

"Let's make a little gadget first."

"Probably... um, more than a day."

The gadget was done faster than Bucky expected.

Around the early morning of the next day, he and Caesar successfully completed the little gadget.

A purple candy.

Bucky called it Little Prize.

Coincidentally, the Ark was very close to its target.

Hawkins came over and asked:
"The country of Wano is below. Do you want to descend?"

"Wano Country?"

"Kaido's territory?"

Caesar's eyes widened.

The Joker actually wanted to drop this bomb on Wano Country? !
Is there any deep hatred between them?

"Do you think I'm here to cause an explosion?"

Bucky noticed the surprise in his eyes.

Then he tilted his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm here to help them establish a country, using the simplest method."

"How about we blow him up?"

He was rarely excited again.

"Will...will he die?!"

"That's Kaido, the strongest creature in the world! He'll go crazy!"

"That would be more interesting."

Bucky nodded, and then said to Hawkins who was also a little excited: "No need to descend, I'll go say hello to them."

"Don't worry, I will never ignore your contribution."

The last sentence is addressed to Caesar.

Then he put the candy, which contained an unknown amount of concentrated poison gas, into his mouth.

He took a look at the ground covered by three or four layers of clouds and aimed his hand.

Then he jumped.

"Hahaha, I can already feel that this world is starting to become interesting."

The cold wind blowing against his face only made Bucky's smile even brighter.

Wano Country should be a fun place, right?
If he is not, then let him be.

From the perspective of Caesar and others, Bucky quickly turned into an increasingly smaller black dot, drawing a straight vertical line in the clouds.

"You don't play with us..."

Hawkins complained somewhat helplessly.

Caesar, on the other hand, had a dazed look on his face.

They were chatting one moment, and the next moment this person jumped down for nothing.

It's really hard to predict...

"What's the use of that little gadget you made?"

"No...nothing."

Caesar came back to his senses, his face suddenly covered with cold sweat.

"It's just... used to target artificial devil fruits."

The biggest customer of the artificial devil fruit is Kaido.

I'm dead this time!
As Bucky passed through the clouds, his body swelled up a little bit, like a balloon filled with wind, except that his skin was purple.

The body of a user with the ability of the Gas Fruit is able to fill itself with poison gas.

This may be one of the reasons why Caesar likes to study poison gas so much.

And Bucky is used for explosions.

His body swelled bigger and bigger, and the ground got closer and closer to him, like a photograph that was suddenly stretched to an enormous size.

All I could see was a piece of dry land.

"what?"

Yamato couldn't quite believe his eyes.

He took two steps toward the open area, and the sound of the shackles dragging under his feet was particularly crisp.

"meteor?"

"Or a human?"

“Is this what people outside look like?”

Before she could see the other person's face clearly, the purple figure like a meteor had already fallen to the ground.

Bang.

A lavender mist suddenly spread over the ghost island.

The concrete houses built with sand and stones were swallowed up by the purple mist.

"Enemy attack!"

"There is an enemy attack!"

...

The sound of gongs and drums spread throughout the island.

Immediately afterwards, another figure rushed out from the core area of ​​Ghost Island.

Jhin's wings swept through the purple poisonous mist and headed straight for where Buggy fell.

"Gas bombs?"

He took off his mask and used his racial ability to sniff directly at the poisonous fog.

"There was no stimulating reaction. Who is kidding?"

Jhin didn't notice anything fatal in the poisonous fog, he slowly landed on the ground, flapping his black wings.

Something had smashed a shallow hole in the ground.

"clown?"

He saw a joker card with a smiley face on it, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"This is a provocation!"

Before Jhin could get angry, he heard countless whimpering sounds all around him, as if he was surrounded by a pack of wolves.

There are no wolves on Ghost Island.

There are only hundreds of gifted people who gained their abilities through artificial devil fruits... and some real fighters from the middle-level forces of the Beasts Pirates.

Jhin saw pairs of green eyes drooling, and under the cover of the purple poisonous mist, they were completely transformed into hideous and irrational beasts.

Staring straight at Jhin.

This purple poisonous fog is actually specifically aimed at users with artificial devil fruit abilities!

Damn Caesar, this guy actually left a back door!
Jin immediately thought of Caesar, the researcher of artificial devil fruits.

"Back off!"

He held a huge samurai sword in his hand and swung it violently. The sword light and flames immediately scared away the gift givers.

"Hey, why are they all so angry?"

Bucky just found his head in the corner, and after putting it together, he couldn't help but sigh.

In the circle of gift givers, Jin seemed to notice something and turned his eyes away.

Is there a very strange smell?
But before he could track them, he was immediately surrounded by the gift givers again.

In the eyes of these beasts, I seem to have become a piece of fat meat?
But Jhin really couldn't bear to kill him.

Givers are different from those who wait or laugh; they already have value.

Helplessly, Jhin could only put away the business card and flap his wings to escape from the encirclement.

The aura just now was most likely the clown!

That madman!

But how did he fall from the sky?
Jhin raised his head, trying to see something through the thick clouds.

the other side.

Seeing the effect of his gadget, Buggy raised the corner of his mouth. Just as he was a little further away from the herd of beasts, he saw a mace blocking his way.

"Are you the Joker?"

"Then there probably won't be a second one, um...how should I address you, Oden II, and Kaido's daughter?"

Bucky's smile widened.
