One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 204 Yamata no Orochi
It was not difficult for Kaido to recognize the former Shichibukai across from him.

It is not difficult to understand from this perspective. No wonder Moria has the courage to seek revenge on him.
"It's really funny when two losers get together."

He whispered something, but did not stay in the square any longer because the smell was too pungent.

While hesitating, he saw Runti directly enter the beast form with thick skin and flesh.

The body of the pachycephalosaur was five or six meters long, with thick bone plates protruding from its head.

Runti wore a mask all the time and was not affected by the smell.

But what made her so angry was that her younger brother was scratched in the explosion.

There were also some disgusting corpse parts on it.

Damn, this is my toy!

The pachycephalosaur glared and charged forward.

Several other Flying Six also directly entered the beast form.

Then quickly leave the square.

I really can't stand the taste.

Only Runti went against the flow.

Even Kaido felt how stubborn his adopted daughter was.

While they were fighting fiercely, Buggy had already taken a tour around Orochi Castle.

He and Denjiro walked on the brown wooden boards of the corridor, one in front and one behind, neither hurried nor slow.

"The most valuable things in the treasury have been emptied. He shouldn't be able to get far."

Denjiro smiled with his narrowed eyes, and his temperament inexplicably matched that of the clown, but the clown did not have a smile on his face, and his fingers were tapping lightly on the edge of his pants.

His steps were casual and he was whistling.

Denjiro didn't understand where the whistle came from, but the melody sounded simple, giving people a feeling of leisurely strolling in the garden, a bit like... the calmness of a cat after catching a mouse and then letting it go.

Um, the whistle song from Kill Bill.

Bucky found it very appropriate.

This is the advantage of having a lot of memory, there is always something new popping up in your mind.

"It's okay. He likes to play, so we can just play with him."

He could vaguely smell the panic and fear of his prey.

Outside are all Azu... no, they are all the cadres of the Beasts Pirates. If Orochi runs out, he will definitely be chopped.

He is most likely still in the mansion.

"I just happened to have a new idea to try out."

He raised his head, looked at the dim ceiling illuminated by the yellow light, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then he lowered his head and continued whistling.

However, his voice tone suddenly became a little higher, and his fingers were not on the edge of his pants, but on the wall beside him.

As you walk, run your fingers along the wall.

Denjiro didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt as if the floor under his feet had turned over.

The night was already halfway over.

The Orochi Castle was built on the mountain. It was surrounded by not only earthen platforms but also deep trenches. Even once you entered the city, you could see multiple sentry posts and pink snails similar to the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

It was about five stories high, and the two of them just circled the first and second floors and explored the treasure house in the basement.

The melodious and freehand whistling music still lingers inside the castle.

But the sudden rise in tone can also make people shiver unexpectedly.

"Kaido... Joker!"

The big snake had already climbed to the fourth floor, and asked the warriors of the Gobanshu to protect the third floor.

At this time, his head had just been sewn back to his neck, and the skin on his face was covered with dense bubbles from being soaked in oil, and his shriveled muscles gave off a burnt smell.

As he gnashed his teeth, his white bones were exposed.

In front of him was a surveillance screen.

In the picture, the clown walked casually while whistling, and from time to time he was pushed into a room and entered into another surveillance screen.

"I want revenge, I must take revenge!"

"If you want my Wano Country... it's not that easy, it's not that easy!"

He had figured it out by now. Whether it was Kaido or the Joker, both of them just wanted to see him die.

"There's someone else who can help me."

He muttered a few words, and behind him were two large boxes, which he had wrapped around his tail.

He seldom uses the form of Yamata no Orochi, and mostly uses it as a life-saving ability, but it is no problem for him to carry two boxes.

He fiddled with it hurriedly and found a Den Den Mushi with the World Government logo.

The whistle sounded faintly from below.

As the pitch of the whistle rose, the big snake felt a palpitation, as if a clown had come in front of him, and his movements became much more impatient.

Calmness is only for whistlers.

He didn't know how long the three levels of Gobanshu could hold off the clown.

Even the few seconds of waiting for the Den Den Mushi's response seemed particularly long.

The moment the Den Den Mushi was connected, Orochi quickly picked up the phone:

"Hey, I'm Kurozumi Orochi, the general of Wano Country!"

"... "

"we know."

The voice on the other end of the phone was slow and steady, which made Da She angry.

The whistle was getting closer, and Orochi could already clearly hear the changes in the melody, and the sound of footsteps... were there more footsteps!?

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He shouted directly: "We can discuss the previous arms trade again, but I demand that you send out warships immediately!"

"Just talking, Lord Orochi?"

"Your current situation is extremely bad..."

The snake's face froze, and then he said loudly: "I am the general of this country, I have the final say!"

Neither Kaido nor the Joker cares about his title of general, but Orochi doesn't believe that the World Government will not care.

It has been a long time since they wanted to get involved in Wano Country.

There was another silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was assessing Orochi's current value.

At this moment, the whistle suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the sound of light footsteps.

The snake's face darkened, the white bones on its cheeks seemed to reveal something eerie and terrifying, but its trembling teeth told...

He was the one who was scared.

Orochi knew very well what the clown had done. After Kanjuro delivered the clown's message, he collected all the relevant deeds and information about the other party.

It is the country that is closed, not him, the snake.

"The quarry can be handed over to you, as well as the craftsmen. I have the names of all the craftsmen who can process seastone in my mind!"

"But you have to ensure my safety!"

Orochi almost growled as he felt the footsteps getting closer. He had expected that the Gobanshu were no match for the clown, but he didn't expect it to be so efficient.

He raised his head and stared at the scene in front of him.

Most of the city's surveillance signals are gathered in this room on the fourth floor. Here, Orochi can see the fight between Moria and Kaido outside the square, and also on the steps leading to the fourth floor.

A face was getting closer.

The clown, wearing heavy pale makeup and bright red lips, seemed to notice the presence of the surveillance snail.

I leaned over and looked over.

With his mouth open, he seemed to be saying something...

The snail had no radio function, so the big snake only saw the clown say a few words and then suddenly took off his head.

Laughing wildly.

The picture without sound makes it even more creepy.

"be quick!"

After Orochi said something to the Den Den Mushi, he didn't care about the other side's response, he rolled up the two treasure chests and ran outside.

The fifth floor is his dormitory, which has no defenses.

However, along the way, the snake pulled out lacquered wooden wardrobes or desks and blocked the corridor, not hoping that these could stop the clown, but hoping to create the illusion that he had escaped to the fifth floor.

The snake even left behind a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

The sound of footsteps kept echoing, and after he walked around a corridor, he came to a wall with the Heitan family emblem printed on it.

Follow the pattern and press a mechanism on the lower side.

A secret door appeared. This was the safe house that the snake had prepared for himself.

It was a bit dark behind the door.

The big snake took a step inside, but suddenly fell down.

The dark space was filled with orange light as it fell.

"The fourth floor?!"

The big snake's eyes suddenly widened and its hair stood on end.

I was clearly heading towards the safe house, so why am I back to the fourth floor?
He turned his head and saw that the lacquered cabinet and wooden table he had thrown in the corridor were still there, but now they had become obstacles for him.

At this time, the whistle suddenly sounded again.

Not from below, but from above.

"You can't scare me!"

The big snake roared again, and its tail in beast form leaped up and crashed straight through the obstacles.

Came to the secret door for the second time.

There is no change from before.

The big snake tried it out before taking a light step forward.

This time I stepped on solid ground.

The snake breathed a sigh of relief.

"Joker, no matter what tricks you use, I just need to hold on for a while... The World Government will not let you go!"

He stepped over it with both feet.

That feeling of being grounded suddenly disappeared.

The whistle that was originally some distance away sounded directly next to my ears.

"Clown, clown!"

The whistle that sounded right beside him immediately irritated the snake's sensitive nerves.

He growled twice, and his body rolled over. Suddenly, eight snake heads extended from his neck.

One of the snake heads was fried.

"Do you look down on me, clown?"

"Come out?!"

The body of the Yamata no Orochi suddenly occupied the dark space around him, and the snake also roared a few times.

The clown is making fun of himself!
All these weird scenes are the clown's tricks, what does he want to do! ?

The snake rolled over, overturning the dark edge.

A wooden board collapsed, and dim light shone in.

In the center of the room, there is a set of bedding and a crown.

Is this his dormitory?

The snake was overwhelmed by a ridiculous feeling.

Alone in the dormitory?

He swept his tail in a circle, and the dark edges collapsed, allowing the lanterns on all four sides to shine in.

This is his dormitory, but it is blocked by wooden boards.

The big snake suddenly came to its senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Joker isn't here."

When he thought so.

The whistle suddenly sounded again.

The entire space in front of him moved with the whistle, like a pair of building blocks that could be assembled, constantly splitting and reassembling.

With the dormitory as the center, the entire room was constantly being assembled and extended infinitely. The room, which was originally just big enough to accommodate the giant snake's beastly body, became extremely vast as it continued to extend.

It’s like... a five-story castle was compressed into one floor!
A whistle sounded in front of the big snake.

The clown sat cross-legged, tapping his fingers on the tatami, looking relaxed and at ease, as if he had never moved at all.

"Ah... you really gave me a hard time looking for you, hehe."

Buggy narrowed his eyes. With the extension of his ability, the entire castle was indeed being assembled casually like building blocks.

After completely digesting the ability to be torn apart, his use of the ability was further expanded.

Especially on objects without life or domineering protection, splitting becomes easier.

In this case, it is time to find an opportunity to accommodate the third devil fruit.

"Oh! You actually have a devil fruit."

“It saves me a lot of trouble.”

The big snake lowered its head and looked at its tail.

The treasure chest was opened, and inside, in addition to two ornate swords, there were also two devil fruits.

What is this called? A little white mouse that comes with its own experimental equipment.

Be more considerate.

Looking at Buggy's squinting eyes, Orochi felt even more frightened.

"What do you want to do? No, you can't. If you eat two devil fruits, you will explode. Don't you know this is common sense?!"

"That's for ordinary people, and don't you still have seven lives?"

"Based on this calculation, you can still eat at least seven devil fruits."

Bucky said seriously.

He took another step forward, and before the snake had time to react, the demonic aura was unleashed.

The pitch-black lines were like cones, completely suppressing the big snake.

With his will, no matter whether it is the devil's aura or the domineering aura, as long as it is revealed, he will have no power to resist.

"Let's try it first."

In order to prevent the entire snake from exploding, Buggy carefully removed one of its heads.

Then he pried his mouth open.

He stuffed a green devil fruit into it.

"Ugh!! Ugh!!"

Denjiro clearly saw the pain on Orochi's face as he struggled desperately but was unable to move.

I feel sorry for you.

"Roar----"

As soon as the fruit was eaten, the big snake trembled again, and a very different will came from him.

The originally round and harmless eyes suddenly turned.

It becomes an extremely sharp feeling.

"The will of the devil, or the existence of the devil, is the will of the mythical beasts really stronger?"

The Yamata no Orochi, stimulated by another devil fruit, seemed to be forcibly awakened from its slumber.

The entire snake's temperament became extremely fierce and vicious.

This is totally different from the timid and greedy attitude of Kurozumi Orochi.

No, in terms of greed, the eyes of the two are the same, but they do not have the greedy will of a brutal dictator that is now displayed by the Yamata no Orochi.

The snake's body moved slowly, making a rustling sound, and its fragile scales fell over again, revealing a cold gray color.

The head held in Buggy’s hand opened its mouth.

The swallowed devil fruit was spat out with some disgust.

At the same time, a demonic aura that was no less powerful than Buggy's was unleashed.

Countless dark lines seemed to be about to collapse the entire room.

Denjiro's legs kept shaking, and he slowly lowered his head under this irritating pressure.

Is this still the weak and incompetent Kurozumi Orochi? !

The other seven heads of the Yamata no Orochi moved for a while, and then all their eyes turned to Buggy.

Black flames coiled between the scales.

Including the head that was held in Buggy's hand and still had traces of being fried, it quickly recovered under the black flames.

"He was terribly frightened."

"But you are not those guys. Are you a new kind?"

The big snake spoke human words.
