One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 197 Kaido's Luck

The basic quality of a clown is that he can always take out unexpected gadgets from his body.

For example, a switch for explosives.

It makes sense that the Joker carries a red switch with him, right?
These little gadgets exist in his body. They split when they split and reassemble when they reassemble, as if they were part of his body.

And you can take it out at any time.

"Or should we make a pact?"

The clown looked like an evil spirit crawling out of hell, with horns pointing upwards, a bloody red nose, a grinning face, and black flames surrounding his body.

After climbing up from the bottom of the pit with the support of his hands, he fell back to the ground, looking extremely weak, with the switch in his hand, looking very casual.

"A promise to be a real man like Oden?"

The logbook left by Oden recorded his past events, but Yamato not only witnessed what happened after Oden returned to Wano Country, but also heard a lot about it from the daimyo of the time.

For example, the agreement to dance naked.

In Yamato's opinion, this is the move of a true man.

For the sake of the arrested people, they are willing to bear this great humiliation.

It greatly satisfies the self-sacrificing, self-indulgent savior sentiment.

It has a great influence on Yamato's values.

Can the asshole dad do that?
Bucky took a few breaths, his smile still lingering, and he squinted his eyes and said:

"Um, I once heard that you and Oden made a promise."

"As long as he dances naked once a week, you release a hundred people. He has been dancing for five years... Well, speaking of this, I have another question.

……

Did you record any video at that time?
Den Den Mushi is not a technology that has only been developed in the past few decades."

Well, Bucky knew only one of these bombs was real.

I also know that it has really exploded.

But it doesn't hinder his aggressiveness at all.

Even more arrogant.

Bucky felt it necessary to get the video of the man dancing naked, so that some people with built-in filters could release it as a final blow when they were talking about something.

Well, the red-haired guy would probably be interested too.

Of course Buggy knew Oden.

To be precise, they were once companions on the same ship.

He also politely calls Red Hair and Buggy "Red Taro" and "Baki Jiro".

It sounds weird.

There is one more reason to kill Momonosuke.

But he and Red Hair never liked this guy.

He is too willful.

The facts are pretty much what they think.

I thought I had the ability to turn the situation around, but I ended up dancing naked for five years...

Even the guy with the red nose is ashamed to be associated with him.

It brought complete disgrace to the Roger Pirates.

The two top pirate groups on the ocean are both old bosses. Facing a rising star like Kaido, they remained silent and said it was for the people.

Brother, if you just say a word, the whole country can suffer less than 20 years!
But Oden doesn't.

He chose to take on everything by himself, without even his nine subordinates knowing.

"I see."

Kaido did not rush to respond to his question, as this would have made him fall into the Joker's rhythm. He keenly sensed the Joker's motives from his words.

"You are also a member of Roger's pirate group, so now you are here to avenge your friends?"

If this is the motive, all the Joker's actions can be understood.

Such a sudden and desperate attack...

"But can you really be so cruel as to destroy your companion's country?"

"Do you think you can use this thing to kidnap me?" Kaido suddenly showed a ferocious smile on his face, and his momentum swelled up again after a stagnation.

"You probably don't know..."

His tone paused, and his expression seemed to grasp something about the clown.

"Kozuki Oden's son is in our hands."

Kaido knew exactly what was happening with Kurozumi Orochi, not to mention Kozuki Oden's son.

Orochi thought that Momonosuke was still under his control, but in fact Kaido had already replaced Orochi's men with his men.

It can be said that Momonosuke has long fallen into Kaido's hands.

Hearing this, the corners of Bucky's mouth twitched several times.

He covered his mouth and tried to hold it in for a while, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Pfft hahahahaha!"

"Are you threatening me with Oden... oh no, my dear friend's son?!"

"Hahahahahaha, I'm really jealous of you."

"How come you're so good at telling jokes?"

"Damn, these jokes are so much better than mine ahahahahaha!"

It's no surprise that Kaido has this perception.

Oden himself was a member of Roger's pirate group. When he returned to Wano Country, he was sent to the port by the Oro Jackson.

Plus, the atmosphere on Roger's boat was intimate.

Plus the Joker mentioned the agreement.

He naturally thought that the Joker came to avenge Kozuki Oden.

But now the Joker's sarcastic laughter is too harsh, so harsh that Kaido is a little suspicious... Is he pretending, or does he really not care?

The smile suddenly faded and turned gloomy.

"Are you planning to gamble?"

Regardless of whether the Joker cares about Momonosuke or not, Kaido cares about Wano Country.

Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, these familiar characters passed away one by one, and Kaido became a little impatient.

He was a little afraid that he would lose his spirit when he got old.

Establish a pirate empire and start a war that sweeps the world. In this vision, the existence of Wano Country is indispensable.

He has been making arrangements in Wano Country for more than twenty years. Except for the Flower Capital, almost all areas have been transformed into weapons factories by him, continuously providing blood for the Beasts Pirates.

Kaido lost this blood-making machine.

This meant that all his efforts of more than 20 years had gone to waste.

Then why not take a gamble!
Kaido fumbled around his body for a while, then pulled out a wine gourd from behind his waist. He took two gulps, and the smell of alcohol immediately filled his face.

The Joker's breath is gradually recovering, but Kaido is not too worried.

"Hahahahaha!"

The wine stained his long black beard and he laughed for no apparent reason, his laughter was rough and deep.

"To be honest, when Oden returned to his country, I almost wanted to give him up."

"After all, we were at the port, and we sent him back...

It's you, it's the Pirate King!

Do you know how I felt at that time?"

Kaido spoke very frankly. When the Oro Jackson of the Roger Pirates docked at the port of Wano Country, he had no intention of confronting this pirate group that had just conquered the Grand Line.

“I’m scared.

It’s even scarier than when I faced that guy Rocks, hahahaha!”

He smiled again, not caring at all about the collapse of his own image.

The strongest creature that wanted to die was actually afraid.

He was afraid of this fleet that had conquered the sea, something he could not do even twenty years later.

"Fortunately, Kozuki Oden was the only one who came ashore."

"The journey is over, and what follows is a story of farewell. Of course, if he had asked at the beginning, we could have stayed for two days."

Bucky nodded, as if recalling the past scene.

Sometimes I can’t tell whether it’s my own experience or someone else’s.

But...never mind!

“Yeah hahahahahaha!”

Kaido glanced to the side and saw his daughter with a confused look on her face.

Of course, the retainers of the Kozuki family would not say these things. They would only complain about their own incompetence and the meanness of their enemies.

"Although at that time, Kozuki Oden was fully capable of driving me away."

Kaido doesn't need a samurai to kill him, but it is enough to hurt himself.

“Now I have to be thankful for the second thing.”

Kaido exhaled a breath of alcohol. The stories of the past were the best appetizer, and the deaths and injuries of his subordinates brought tears to his eyes.

"He is a naive... or stupid person."

As he said this, Kaido looked at his "son".

You can be naive but not stupid, this is his bottom line.

He admired Kozuki Oden's strength, but despised his stupidity.

Instead, Yamato looked stunned.

In her original impression, her father was the Great Demon King, but Oden was the noble warrior who, after failing to challenge the Great Demon King, sacrificed himself to protect the people.

But now the filter is a little off.

It turns out that the warrior is not just a warrior, it turns out that the devil is the one who is afraid.

This shattered Oden's noble sentiment of self-sacrifice.

It's like... after leaving home to join the army, I came back to find that my house had been occupied by someone. At this time, the occupier had a pistol and a few big and small cats, while I had an AK and could call a company of comrades with just one phone call.

Faced with this situation, a normal person would probably just fire a volley of bullets at a time, or call over a company of comrades to crush them directly.

But Oden was different. He chose to walk into the house by himself and commit suicide in front of the invaders.

At the same time, he said: "If I die here, this place will become a haunted house, so you will definitely die here in twenty years."

This is so stupid!

Even Kaido admitted that it was his lucky twice.

"It's their misfortune."

"It's also my chance."

"So I won't make any promises with you."

After drinking enough and feeling excited, Kaido stood up again, his eyes filled with the ferocity of a wild beast, and his domineering aura was stimulated to the extreme.

The clouds in the night sky were swept up, the king's pressure was above everyone's head, black lightning flickered faintly in the sky, and the ground was shaking.

This momentum was all placed on one person.

Bucky the Clown.

"I won't compromise, even if you blow everything up."

"Kill me, or I'll kill you!"

Kaido was not hysterical at all, but his dull voice revealed the demeanor of a true king.

He would never compromise to the Joker's conditions just because the Joker kidnapped something he loved.

Piracy is a life-threatening business. To be a pirate means to kill or be killed!
Kaido realized this truth on the first day he joined the Rocks Pirates.

"Well, that's really hard."

Buggy tilted his head, picked up the wine gourd that Kaido had just dropped with one hand, and had a smile on his face.

The demonic aura was also released at the same time, even more powerful than before. The pitch-black lines and black lightning faced each other head-on, and the two auras almost condensed into substance in the collision.

The dust on the ground was shaking, and the clouds that had been stirred into a ball were split into two, with deeper vibrations being transmitted up from beneath the ground.

On Buggy's side, even the air was shattered like a mirror that had fallen. The user of the ability of the Shattered Fruit extended madly in all directions along the medium of air.

This was originally an ability that only the Evil Clown could have, but now in Buggy's hands he can use it with ease.

"To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to kill you now."

This is an interesting person.

The interest lies not in the hypocritical justice, but in the naked tyranny.

Definitions of good and evil cannot constrain people like them.

"Then let's play a game."

"Well, I usually put the gambler's head down the toilet and flush it away, so let's play a game."

Buggy narrowed his eyes, and seemed to make some concessions after considering that he was not sure he could kill the strongest creature.

He thinks Kaido can do more.

"Let's use this island as the grand prize for the game."

"Are you interested in playing a game?"

When besieging an army, there must be a gap. This is also a kind of fun.

Although Buggy's so-called siege was completely bluff, he couldn't resist his full momentum at the moment, and even Jhin wondered if Buggy had let him win.

And it can also make a knife...

In front of the black lightning, cracks were getting closer and closer, and together with the dark lines, they were fighting against the domineering aura, and the evenly matched situation seemed to be starting to change.

Kaido tightly grasped the Eight Precepts, his face solemn and expressionless with no emotion visible.

After a long time, I heard a word come out of his mouth.

"How would you like to play?"

"That's a good question, I've been thinking about it!" Bucky suddenly grinned, and the cracks and the demonic aura dissipated at the same time, as if they had never existed.

"Let me think... Kozuki Momonosuke seems to still be on the island, right?"

"Guess whether he's dead or alive?"

Kaido thinks the Joker still cares about Oden.

"No, no, no, that's too boring!"

"Let's guess how he died!"

Bucky lowered his head and smiled brightly.

Kaido was somewhat surprised by this proposal.

"Wait, why are you betting on how he'll die? He's Lord Oden's son, you bastard dad!"

Yamato's face was filled with indignation. Although his deep-rooted cognition was slightly shaken, it was not time for a complete change yet.

"interesting!"

Seeing his "son" so angry, Kaido actually smiled slightly.

"How about I let you guess one first."
