One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 218 The Three Goals
It was almost noon when the World Government's fleet saw the shadow of the huge eggshell.

The scorching sun shines directly overhead, and the sea water feels like it is about to boil.

At the port, there were ships in twos and threes heading out, including the transport ship that Bucky had taken before.

"Don't let a ship leave. Those researchers and practitioners may have touched a taboo."

Saint Satan stood at the bow, his shoulders hunched, his hands holding a cane, his hair and beard all white.

His half-closed eyes were full of indifference.

Taboos are the bottom line of the Five Elders. It was like this in O'Hara's time, and it is still like this today.

"Yes!"

A vice admiral responded and turned around to command the warships on both sides to form a dispersed formation. There was no need to land, just surround Egghead completely.

After deploying the naval branches along the way, the fleet under Saint Satan now has as many as twenty-seven ships.

If it weren't for the battle with the other two of the Four Emperors, Saint Satan could have dispatched more warships.

"Ah... I'm really reluctant to let go."

Kizaru put one hand in the pocket of his striped suit pants and pushed up his brown sunglasses with the other hand, with a slightly exaggerated expression.

He had been slacking off in Egghead for several years, and now he wanted to destroy it... He was reluctant to let it go.

Saint Satan ignored him.

They just watched quietly as the warship's shells hit the refugee ship and flames broke out.

"We can only blame Vegapunk. Even though they have made a lot of contributions to the World Government over the years, it still cannot offset their guilt."

Many of the navy’s current powerful weapons were developed by this group of scientists, and Saint Satan still recognizes this contribution.

He himself calls himself a scientist.

However, as long as there is a possibility that any of these scientists has come into contact with the taboo that has been lost for a hundred years, Saint Satan will not let any of them escape.

Suddenly, a billowing black smoke rose from the refugee ship, and from time to time people jumped into the sea from the side to survive, and the wailing sounds could be heard from far away.

"Remember to clean it up."

In response to this scene, Saint Satan simply warned again, "CP0 has lost contact, and it seems that Vegapunk has also become alert."

He turned to talk about the battle plan.

"Maybe Sen Taomaru helped..."

The old uncle Kizaru thought about it and decided that based on Lao Bei's fighting ability, a team of CP0 could easily defeat him, so there was no chance for them to take action.

The purpose of summoning so many warships is mainly to guard against possible pirate forces.

"Still don't let up, this island is not only Vegapunk."

Saint Satan withdrew his gaze from the refugee ship and swept across the vast coastline with some fear in his eyes.

This island holds many secrets... It wasn't a good decision to let Vegapunk come here.

"Let the navy occupy the factory level first, and then gradually attack the research level."

"Don't let your guard down on the outer warships either. Vegapunk has a lot of weird research."

"understood."

While the two were talking, the warship had already sailed into the waters near Egghead. Under the layers of waves pushed away by the ship, the silhouette of the sea beast was slowly swimming.

They were waiting for their prey to enter the encirclement.

Of the twenty-seven warships arranged at Satan Saint, seventeen were stationed on the periphery. In addition to sinking the refugee ships, they also bombarded the island.

The attitude is very decisive.

"In addition to killing Vegapunk and his clones, there are three more objectives that need to be accomplished."

Old Saturn talks freely.

He is the God of Science and Defense, corresponding to Saturn among the Five Elder Stars.

"The first one is the desire clone York, the second one is Vegapunk's research data, and the third one is the fusion furnace that can create the Holy Mother Flame."

"These three things cannot be lost."

As they were talking, the sea beasts had already emerged and surrounded the warship on both sides and behind.

Although the sea beast with a number printed on it has some more human traces, the ferocity and greed in its eyes cannot be hidden.

There was no terrifying aura on these warships like that on the previous transport ship.

"I will try my best."

The sea beast blocked the scorching light, and Kizaru lowered his head, seemingly enjoying the rare shade.

"These little gadgets are also left to you to deal with."

"That's really... there's nothing I can do!"

Kizaru has a strong sense of being a worker. If Saint Satan doesn't give the order, he will not take action unless these sea beasts bite him on the head.

There is nothing we can do now.

The job has been assigned to me.

He made a circle with his hands and held out a mirror.

"Yata mirror."

The mirror emitted an orange-yellow beam of light, which shone onto the warship's tower, then turned and shone into the air, next to a sea beast.

The moment the beam of light shone, Kizaru also followed.

One hand in pants, lazy attitude.

Then he raised his foot and kicked.

The beam of light instantly penetrated the huge body of the sea monster.

Kizaru kept moving. After the beam of light penetrated the first sea beast, the Yata Mirror immediately turned in another direction.

The light beam was repeatedly refracted beside the dozen or so sea beasts guarding the nearby sea, and Kizaru's figure also moved with the projection of the light beam.

Each one is a kick.

Never move more than once.

His left hand was in his trouser pocket and he never took it out.

The last refraction returned to the bow deck.

"I actually wasted three seconds. I'm really old."

Kizaru raised his right hand and muttered.

Behind him, more than a dozen huge sea beasts collapsed, and the waves they created shook the ten warships that were entering the port.

"Humph!"

Saint Satan was already used to his attitude and just sneered.

If this guy was more motivated and had a clearer attitude, I would have promoted him to the position of marshal long ago.

Unfortunately, he doesn't like ambiguous justice.

"Let's attack. Wano Country is waiting for us."

It is natural that the World Government cannot have no response to the pirates' declaration of war.

On the Wano Country side, that is where the navy has deployed the most manpower.

As for Egghead...

The problem is not big.

At least that’s what Saint Satan thinks.

How could this scientist, who has been recruited for many years and has no other forces intervening, resist?
Even with the Pacifists and Seraphs, whom he relied on the most, Vegapunk's own authority was lower than that of Old Saturn.

Otherwise he wouldn't have come in person.

However, Saint Satan looked at the nearby Future Island, pondered for a while, and decided not to land on the island yet.

How can a coach lead his troops?
Just let the Navy take care of it.

CP0 is also a bunch of trash.

……

……

"The old spider is really alert."

On the research floor, Bucky looked at the monitoring screen and smiled.

He put in so much effort and didn't even participate in the war between Kaido and the navy, so why did he come to Future Island?

Is it for Lao Bei’s various novel toys and the energy problem of the Holy Mother of Fire?
Well, partly.

It would have been better if Old Bay didn't say anything. Once he started talking, Bucky really wanted to drag the Virgin Mary to Marijoa to play.

In his original plan, he was going to use the Power Rock to blow up Mary Joa, but after seeing the power of the Holy Mother Flame, he completely forgot about the Power Rock.

It seems that Zefa and his team have already grabbed a batch of power rocks and formed a team. In the New World, it can be said that the navy and pirates are treated equally - all are beaten. In addition, the Burning Legion, which is more violent and does not tolerate pirates at all, is the one led by Akainu. He calls himself the Fire Bat Legion, but Morgans thinks the Burning Legion is good when he promotes it.

I wonder if Akainu will cause trouble for the birdman because of this.

Akainu's methods were cruel. Except for the supernovas of the same period as Luffy who arrived earlier, all the supernovas who broke into the New World in the next two years died at his hands.

Having this gate god guarding the first three islands of the New World is a real tragedy for the pirates who come after him.

back to the front.

What excites Bucky the most right now is the old Spider's launch plan.

Lao Bei completed the design in half an hour and is now coordinating with factories at all levels to produce accessories.

"It will take some time. Well, a classic performance also requires some preparation."

He rested his chin on his palm, thinking.

Ten warships, several vice admirals and Kizaru, this lineup is considered very luxurious, but the issue that Buggy is most concerned about is how to trick the old Spider to the island.

It’s best to trick them into the research level.

This will make it easier to strap him to the rocket!

In this case, when dealing with Kizaru and other marines, one must not act too recklessly, lest the old Spider notices the clues.

This is somewhat inconsistent with Bucky's temperament.

"I have given so much to make you the first person in the world government to reach the top of space."

He looked at Saint Satan on the surveillance camera and shook his head.

There is still a York that I haven't dealt with... maybe I can use it.

Bucky’s mouth curled up again.

……

……

At the port, ten warships have already docked, and the roar of artillery fire outside has also slowed down slightly.

Soldiers filed out of the ship's ladder and soon occupied the entire port.

This is just the vanguard.

With their current military strength, they have the advantage over all the pirates except the Imperial Group who are difficult to deal with!

Especially those lieutenant generals who appeared last.

"Land, everyone."

The first person to land on the island was a short old woman with a wrinkled face, pot-lid-shaped hair, and she wore headphones and had several braids.

Like the other officers, Bruguerath wore a white navy coat.

But she was riding on the back of a Pacifist.

One hand held the reins.

The pacifists knelt and climbed down the ladder from the warship.

Six vice admirals, also wearing coats, got off the ship with Bruculas.

At the same time, there are as many as twenty or thirty third-generation pacifists.

This shows how much old Saturn values ​​Vegapunk.

To kill him, we must use the weapons he developed.

"According to the established strategy, we will first occupy the entire factory floor, and then launch an attack on the research floor."

"Remember, don't let go of any of the other clones except York!"

"Yes!!"

Because Vegapunk had sounded the alarm in advance, the researchers on the factory floor had already fled - only the last batch were stopped in the open sea.

This made the navy's sweep much easier.

However, they encountered many obstacles when they entered the central area.

A giant beast appeared in the city, and its roar frightened the soldiers.

What’s even more terrifying is that the bullet actually passed through the body of the giant beast.

"Don't be afraid, keep attacking!"

An officer was urging them from behind.

But the soldiers on the front line who were facing the pressure of the behemoth could not help but retreat.

This thing can't be beaten!
Just when he was frightened, Brugulas behind him rushed over.

"New mount! I love this!"

The old woman grinned, loosened the reins on the pacifist's back, took a few moon steps in the air, and was about to come behind the giant beast.

"You are mine!"

She took out a new rein and prepared to put it on the beast.

The old woman is the user of the Ki-Ki-Fruit, so she is naturally excited to see the new beast.

With just a grab, his palm missed everything.

"idiot!"

Zhan Taomaru, who was in charge of guarding, came out with a look of sarcasm on his face.

"A navy that falls into the water four or five times a day, you still have the nerve to come out here!?"

Brugulas's words broke Zhan Taomaru's defense.

"That was arranged by my uncle, what do you know?!"

Zhan Taomaru blushed and stood on the opposite side of the navy, taking out a big axe.

One of the main responsibilities of the Science Defense Force is to protect Egghead. I went to Wano Country some time ago, and not long after I came back, my uncle was transferred to the headquarters for a meeting.

He didn't even explain himself.

This made Zhan Taowan, the man who claimed to be the most tight-lipped man in the world, suddenly become a navy man who fell into the water four or five times!

Falling into the water is not scary. After all, we grow up floating on the sea and there are always times when we are careless.

But Zhan Taomaru fell into the water five times, and each time the warship had to make a sharp turn to rescue him.

Couldn't you just send a small boat quietly?
Otherwise, you can swim too?!
Zhan Taomaru wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't help but realize that Kizaru did it on purpose.

The blame is firmly on his back.

"You're so old, why do you always blame adults for everything you have?!" Brugulas took advantage of his seniority and mocked Zhan Taomaru's age.

"And you're a marine too, right?"

"Didn't you receive any orders? Why are you still standing on the opposite side?"

"Why? The Doctor is a very nice person!"

Zhan Taomaru swung his axe, blocking the navy's path.

Brugulas was silent for a while, then spoke again: "Eliminating Vegapunk is an order from the highest level."

"He has violated a taboo!"

Zhan Taowan still stood in front and refused to retreat.

This matter actually has nothing to do with him. Zhan Taomaru did not receive any order from Vegapunk requesting protection. After all, Old Vegapunk has already got in touch with the Joker.

I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart.

He was adopted by Vegapunk since he was a child and is also the captain of the Science Defense Force. It has always been his duty to protect the doctor.

"I won't tell you!" Zhan Taowan raised his head, with a scar on his face.

"I've already made up my mind. Even if my uncle comes, I will definitely protect the doctor!"

"But I can't let you know, otherwise it would be betrayal!"

"So what are you going to do?" Brugulas was stunned.

"Of course I tried my best to hold you back!"

Zhan Taowan looked normal, even though he spoke his inner thoughts directly.

"I'll pretend to take orders, then scare you all away with the holographic projection!"

“Hehehe…” Brugulas chuckled twice, “He is indeed the most tight-lipped man.”

"Then let's clear it all out!"

She raised her hand and pointed at Zhan Taomaru. The kneeling pacifist opened his mouth and a laser suddenly shot out!
"attack!"

The other navy officers did not hesitate and fired directly at Zhan Taomaru.
