One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 216 Let this powder keg explode completely

The night rain, driven by the sea breeze, fell heavily on the iron hull of the warship, and the crackling sound was endless.

Far away from the dark green warship is a small town with a dozen dim lanterns still lit.

The Kingdom of Lulucia is certainly not just the size of this town, but this is the only port that can accommodate such huge vessels as naval warships.

Other ports can only accommodate small boats because of dense reefs or insufficient water depth.

Therefore, this port town has become the most important gateway to the Kingdom of Lulucia, adjacent to the King's Castle.

Although the castle was deserted, the flag on top was replaced with... an enlarged version of the clown bounty order.

Flying like a flag.

This is not what Baki intended, but mainly because the residents of the town feel that they are living in a powder keg, and it would be too disrespectful if you don't put up a flag.
This flag must be hoisted today!

But Buggy has never established any flag. He turned the original Buggy Pirate Group into a circus a long time ago.

All the flags are lost.

So the townspeople took Bucky's bounty and put it up.

"Did those bastards hand over the remote?" Spandam stood at the bow, rain dripping off his brown raincoat.

This time he brought four warships and several CP organizations in order to completely solve the problem of the country in front of him.

Let them rebel. There are already eight or nine rebellious countries around the world. Coupled with the pressure from the Four Emperors, the World Government has no intention of dealing with it.

But it’s different when you hang the clown flag!

That's just standing in front of the World Government and slapping them in the face.

There is no need to convene a world conference.

As early as after the incident in the Kingdom of Prodans, the Joker was dubbed the world's most vicious criminal, and the reward of 3.96 billion Baileys was all for his doing.

In the underground world, there are many celestial dragon families who have been promised a reward of 4 billion Beli plus two devil fruits.

He is definitely a thorn in the eyes and flesh of all Celestial Dragons.

After all, no matter how rampant and arrogant the other pirates are, the best they can do is to rob the highest amount of gold.

The Joker is different.

He was killing people, and he did it in front of the whole world!
If this revenge is not taken, the faces of the Celestial Dragons will be swollen.

Therefore, what happened in the Kingdom of Lulucia was different from ordinary rebellions.

“Not yet…” An agent in a suit behind Spandam lowered his head, his face full of shame.

Spandam blamed the bombardment of Judicial Island on the original CP9. Lucci's journey of atonement ended in Dressrosa before it even began, so Spandam is still the commander of the CP organization.

Now it has changed from CP9 to CP8.

Although the quality has dropped a bit, the quantity has increased.

"A bunch of untouchables!"

Spandam's face turned sinister when he heard this. He had a mask covering half of his face, and his expression was distorted as he cursed.

"I have already given them a chance, now they don't take it..."

The residents of this town took advantage of the suicide bombs left by the Joker and refused to surrender for two days, and Spandam's patience was basically exhausted.

He simply clenched his fingers into a fist and said, "Fire! I want to turn this island into a ruin under the Demon Slayer Order!"

"Sir?! Isn't this too reckless?"

The agents of CP8 were not as hard-hearted as those of CP9, so they couldn't help but give some advice when they heard this.

But it was these words of advice that made Spandam furious.

"Reckless!"

"How dare you call me reckless!"

He kicked and stomped, urging his men to raise the muzzles of their guns.

"Just go when I tell you to! What are you wasting time on!"

"Ask any slower, the fox will do everything!"

Spandam was already angry.

It's about Egghead.

The mission to investigate whether Vegapunk touched upon the blank 5-year research was sent all the way from CP8 to CP, which he was in charge of.

Unexpectedly, all the agents sent out were killed.

He was also accused by that slutty vixen CP0 of being extremely reckless.

Now that his hand described him like this, it was no wonder that he was furious.

However, Spandam was a violent person by nature, and he was not prepared to show mercy at the moment.

Taking advantage of the night rain, the four dark green warships hovering near the coast slowly deployed.

The biggest advantage the navy has over pirates is their weapons.

The pitch-black muzzle slowly raised its head, and the rain was still pouring down.

The quiet town in the distance seemed unaware.

In addition to the navy, many pirates also visited during this period.

However, out of fear of harming the innocent, they refrained from large-scale looting.

Simple bombardment does not bring any benefit to the pirates.

But the Navy is different.

They are here to save face.

At Spandam's cold shout, the muffled sound of the shell flying out of the muzzle suddenly drowned out the noisy sound of raindrops hitting.

After drawing a graceful arc in the air, it landed in a residential area with a clang.

Then, there was a burst of flames, followed by wailing and screams. In the dark night, in addition to the first flash of fire, many lanterns were lit up at once.

Apparently the townspeople had also noticed the naval attack.

But unexpectedly, the Navy had no intention of negotiating with them at all.

“Shoot, keep shooting for me!”

"What clown bomb? It's just a bluff!"

"Remember not to let any untouchable escape!"

Spandam pointed at several small boats in the harbor and kept urging them.

The shells fell as mercilessly as rain, igniting huge fires in the wet night.

The bulletin board that Bucky had casually drawn was also shattered by the shells. Flames suddenly burned on the bluestone slabs, and it seemed as if something was ignited. The flames shot up in lines and connected to a strangely shaped iron barrel.

More fire lines quickly ignited in the pre-buried pipes. This was a fire network that had been buried long ago, and once touched, it could not wait to burn.

One end even extends all the way to the offshore area of ​​the port.

How could Buggy have missed those ships that might be near the coast when he was pressing the bomb button... If he was going to bomb them, of course he would bomb them all together!

Let this powder keg explode completely!
……

……

In the Egghead research layer.

What happens at the port has not yet been reported here.

Although Lao Bei has six clones to help him handle affairs, the importance of his original body is still unquestionable.

The top level is also the most heavily guarded.

He was biting his tongue and frowning. The white-haired doctor also had a look of distress on his face.

"The World Government is about to turn against us so soon..."

Lao Bei couldn't figure out how the World Government knew about his research on the blank hundred years. He had clearly kept this secret very well!

Was it the agents who discovered it?
"I have also heard similar rumors in the underground world... It seems like someone deliberately released this news."

Stussy was leaning against the door of the institute, wearing a white waistcoat over her white skirt, and her fishnet stockings were hooked over her slender legs.

He also wore a fox mask on his face.

This matter also seems strange, as if someone is planning something behind the scenes.

"Haha, the World Government has sent several agents to investigate, but has not received any response."

She herself was the last wave of agents sent.

The mission obtained is to eliminate Vegapunk and his six clones.

But well...

Stussy is still on the side of Old Bay. She was originally a clone created by Old Bay during the MADS period using Bakingom as the prototype.

Yes, it’s the short and ugly Bakin who claims to be Whitebeard’s wife and the mother of Whitebeard II.

Just looking at Bakin's current old state, it's easy to doubt Whitebeard's taste.

However, if you look at Stussy, who is now about 27 or 28 years old, you can recognize Whitebeard's taste.

White fishnet stockings are really attractive.

There is this traitor inside.

Naturally, the team of CP0 agents traveling with her was already lying down at this time, and there were relatively few strong people like Rob Lucci.

Most CP0s are at the same level as Kaku.

Especially when the command is still in Stussy's hands.

"Agent?" Old Bei was full of suspicion. "I didn't receive this message. Could it be that Zhan Taowan has cleared it?"

"If it's those people from CP8, they won't be able to find out anything!"

Lao Bei still has this confidence.

Although Satan always felt that he had a firm grasp on Old Bay.

This answer made Stussy frown.

Spandam did send someone...

This is certain, but Mr. Bei said he had not seen these agents.

So where did these agents go?

Adding to the previous rumors...

Putting the two together has invisibly reduced the world government's trust in Bay to the lowest level.

"Satan won't give up easily. After all, you have touched their bottom line."

Stussy picked at her nails, which were sharp and prickly.

Then he stabbed the unconscious colleagues to ensure they would not wake up again.

These are CP0 agents that the World Government has painstakingly trained. They are like death warriors and will never betray.

So it’s better to send them to reincarnate.

"I can't handle this for much longer, Doctor. I need to consider my escape route."

After wiping his nails, Stussy found a wheelchair in the laboratory on his own, sounding very familiar.

"Want to run?"

"Of course you have to run, but where to run is the problem."

If the World Government cannot obtain a scientist like Vegapunk, it will definitely do everything it can to destroy him.

Otherwise, the mission Stussy received would not be killing.

The treatment Lao Bei receives when he goes out to sea is definitely at two extremes compared to the treatment received by ordinary pirates.

It would not be surprising if one or two generals were to give pursuit.

He must be accepted by a force that can compete with him, otherwise Lao Bei's rash voyage to sea will only accelerate his death.

There are also various defenses in Egerhede.

"Can the Revolutionary Army accept us?"

After this mission, Stussy never thought that she could continue to be undercover. In fact, she was not really an undercover agent. It was just that between Old Bay and the World Government, she chose her creator.

"Dragon..."

Vegapunk paced with his hands behind his back.

The development of events was beyond his expectations.

If he could discover it before CP8 came to investigate, he would still have room to maneuver and plenty of time, but now Stussy is here and the Navy has decided to eliminate him.

The time left for myself is very limited.

"I talked to Long. Although he has been inciting people in various countries to revolt, he himself does not want to stand on the stage."

"At least he was unwilling to stand up before that liberation fighter showed up."

"It's just a hiding place. The Revolutionary Army won't refuse it, but if they come to pick us up..."

Lao Bei paused, frowning.

As long as you go out to sea, the navy's attack will definitely follow. If there is no force to support you, you will be dead.

"Then there are only the Four Emperors."

"Linlin, Shanks, Buggy."

Stussy didn't mention Blackbeard and Kaido.

Before Blackbeard defeated Wang Zhi, he was still one step away from becoming one of the Four Emperors.

Especially since Old Black was tricked by the clown in the Kingdom of Prodans not long ago and is still licking his wounds.

As for Kaido... Although the newspaper used the name of cooperation, according to Stussy's intelligence, this guy who was known as the strongest creature bowed his head in front of the Joker that day.

"In the new world, these three are the only ones who have the courage to accept you."

"Lingling can be ruled out."

Lao Bei said after hesitating for a while.

If Big Mom wants to accept him, she will definitely ask Lao Bei to hand over the results of his giantization research. This result goes against Lao Bei's consistent moral concepts, so he sealed it up after the research was completed.

Stussy was puzzled when he heard this, "Lingling and I have a good relationship, and she has the ability to withstand the pressure from the World Government."

She didn't quite understand Lao Bei's persistence.

After all, as CP0, Stussy is rarely bound by general moral concepts.

Lao Bei remained silent but his attitude was firm.

"Then I can only choose between Buggy and Shanks."

"Where's the dragon's son?"

"The Straw Hat Kids... They are just newbies who have just stepped into the new world. When they reach Egghead, they will probably only find our graves."

Stussy was telling the truth.

Old Bei could understand it, unless he wanted to bury Long's son with him.

So I could only sigh.

"There's not enough time!"

Neither the Joker nor Red Hair are good choices. Bay doesn't like the former's style of doing things. He is a perfectionist and doesn't like overly chaotic situations.

Red hair is even simpler.

The other party already has a connection with the Five Elder Stars, and if he asks for help, he might be sold out. The Joker can guarantee this.

There is no room for reconciliation between the Joker and the Five Elders.

Lao Bei hesitated for a long time.

Finally decided:

"Just ask the Joker for help. He still has the Holy Mother of Fire, right?"

"Tell him that I have a fusion furnace that can replenish the energy of the Holy Mother Flame, but the prerequisite is that he has to get here quickly. The navy is on the way!"

After making the decision to ask for help, Lao Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief and operated the densely packed instrument dials.

"Okay, from now on, Egghead only needs to leave and not come in. I have issued a red alert and asked all researchers to evacuate as soon as possible."

"That will make our time even more urgent." Stussy said with a serious expression.

The navy is not stupid, and Egghead's obvious move will only speed up their actions.

"Huh... I can't just ignore them." Old Bei shook his head. "The sea beasts and the Seraphs will buy us some time. I have to sort out the research materials quickly."

……

……

at the same time.

At the port of Eigerhead.

Bucky took off his red nose and pressed down his white cap.

Looking at the scene where old Hughes was escorted off the Hughes by the management staff.

The corners of his mouth kept twitching and he couldn't suppress his smile.
