One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 219 Before Sunset
Research layer.

Bucky just walked out of the monitoring room.

By the way, he also left an eye and a hand in the monitoring room to facilitate monitoring of the situation on the island. Of course, the most important thing is the movements of Saint Satan.

Shakya was not there either. He and five other clones followed the original body to build the launcher.

Except for York, who symbolizes "desire".

While the other five clones were conducting research, she was responsible for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Everything is a concession to research!

It can be seen how much Vegapunk values ​​his time, he even creates a clone specifically for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Now the two have reached a preliminary cooperation.

After the launcher is completed, Buggy will let the fishmen pick up Old Bay and leave, otherwise he will not be willing to help him develop a launcher when he is surrounded by the navy.

It was Buggy who volunteered to leave the pursuers on the island.

It's been a while since I last went out to play with the navy, and I miss it a lot.

Thinking of the scene of launching the old spider into outer space, Bucky's face was filled with a smile again.

He thought about looking for Vegapunk again and asking him if he had a Den Den Mushi for live broadcasts. It would be best if he could first find one that was similar to the one customized by the Vinsmoke Family.

It can be broadcast live all over the world.

Be nice!

Under the watchful eyes of the whole world, the old spider was tied up and launched!

This is so interesting!
Bucky's steps were easy.

The monitoring room is on the research floor. Coming out of the room is a cold grey corridor. Made simply of steel sheets, the building can only be described as having a geometric beauty.

After walking in the corridor for a while, he saw Lao Bei and the others.

Atlas, who was put back together, was working hard on the welding work. When he saw Bucky, he glared at him, obviously still thinking about what happened before.

Edison of "thought" and Pythagozilla of "wisdom" are responsible for overall coordination. Under their guidance, several robotic arms are cutting and shaping the parts of the launcher.

The "righteous" Shakya and the "evil" Lilith mobilized raw materials from all over the factory floor, including the Wapol alloy that Bucky had seen earlier.

It made the originally impoverished King Wapol become a wealthy man.

The World Government didn't capture him to produce Palu...

What a waste.

"Has the navy invaded yet?"

Vegapunk looked up from a pile of design drawings and asked with his tongue sticking out.

"Zhan Taomaru stopped them."

Lao Bei shook his head. "That kid... we don't really need his help with this matter."

It’s not that he looked down on the combined forces of Kizaru and Satan, it’s just that he is more aware of the destructive power of the clown in front of him.

As for killing the other person, he felt that it was impossible, but there was no problem in involving him.

If there is no help from the Joker, Lao Bei will consider asking Zhan Taomaru for help. However, with this help, Zhan Taomaru will also become a wanted criminal.

Until now, Lao Bei still doesn't know how to tie Saint Satan to the transmitter.

Buggy has already told him about Saint Satan's transformed form.

To this end, these issues have been fully taken into consideration in the design of the transmitter.

"Take a look!" Lao Bei pointed to the side, excited, "According to what you said, I designed it based on the size of the giant. The launcher itself has no redundant space except for the holder and fuel..."

Lao Bei has built a mechanical giant before, so a launcher is no problem for him.

It's just that time is a bit tight, otherwise he could have improved it further.

Bucky followed Old Bay's instructions and saw the launcher that was obviously a half-finished product.

The main body of the launcher is similar to a rocket, but it has two wings extending inward with an arc on both sides. There are two rows of eight steel buckles on the wings, which correspond exactly to the eight legs of Satan in his holy beast form.

"In addition to the fixator, a bubble shield can also be created here, which can support the target while preventing the target from resisting too much."

Lao Bei pointed to the nozzles on the lower corners of the wings and said.

"These are the resin bubbles originally used on the third generation Pacifists."

He operated it twice, and two circles of bubbles came out of the nozzle one after another. After being spliced ​​together, they just covered the target fixed on the fixer.

"The power system also uses materials from the Pacifist. I modified the laser cannon a bit."

Pacifists are full of treasures, and it is said that the cost of one is comparable to that of a warship.

Anyway, the navy has made up its mind to clean up itself now, so Lao Bei has no regrets about borrowing it.

The Navy pays for it all!

"Very good. I can already imagine Satan's expression when he's struggling on top of it." Bucky smiled warmly.

"Just a small comment though."

He folded his arms and said, "Can we add a self-destruct function? When the launcher reaches the highest point, it will explode with a bang!"

Bucky opened his hands and said, "Explode brilliant fireworks at the highest point."

"This is not difficult."

The launcher already carries a large amount of volatile materials, so self-destruction is just a matter of adding a fuse.

“Also…” Thinking of that scene, Buggy narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very excited, “It would be best if there was an image-recording Den Den Mushi installed on it, with an angle that would just be able to capture the target’s expression.”

"Well, it would be best if it could be broadcast live."

This was really Bucky's last request.

If possible, Buggy could consider removing Vegapunk from the game's objectives.

Change to the identity of a qualified tool person.

"live streaming?!"

Lao Bei looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about the difficulty of the matter.

“I do have research on this…”

He muttered twice.

The Joker seems to attach great importance to the live broadcast. If Satan's true face can be broadcast in front of people all over the world... it should also help the truth he wants to announce to the world later.

And it can also make the Joker try harder.

"Leave it to me!"

Vegapunk nodded heavily, "I have a way to make sure that all the Den Den Mushi around the world can receive the live broadcast signal. Even the Navy and the World Government can't cut it off!"

This was originally his plan to reveal the truth to the world.

Bucky's eyes visibly lit up.

It's like seeing a new toy, and I can't help but flick my fingers.

This is much more domineering than the live-broadcasting Den Den Mushi developed by the Vinsmoke family!

"But we can't let the navy interfere with the research layer now, at least before sunset... I still need some time to complete the research."

Lao Bei pointed at the unfinished launcher and several robotic arms were busy working.

At this time, the sun had just begun to move westward, and there was about four or five hours left until sunset. In fact, with his efficiency, the launcher could be completed in less than two hours.

Don’t you even look at what Vegapunk was doing before?
Pacifists with lasers, giant robots, sea beast weapons, artificial devil fruits, air conditioning for the entire island...

A transmitter meant nothing to him.

But he had other things to collect.

This island has many technological relics of ancient kingdoms, some of which Lao Bei has not fully studied, and he wants to take some away.

Hope still lies with the Joker.

Strictly speaking, it would be unwise for Lao Bei to rely entirely on a chaotic and disorderly pirate.

The order side is where he performs.

But Lao Bei has no other option.

Aside from the Joker, no other pirate is willing to confront the World Government head-on.

This is of no benefit to them.

The dragon's son might be able to do it...but he is still too young now.

After considering for a while, Lao Bei handed over a Den Den Mushi.

There is not much difference between the Den Den Mushi and the ordinary Den Den Mushi, except that the number 07 is printed on the shell.

The signal diffuser is placed on the research floor to give Bucky an incentive to protect the research floor.

"It seems that we still need to contain them first." "Just consider it as a little entertainment."

It was not difficult for Bucky to see Bay's intentions, but when it comes to cooperation, both parties always get what they want.

After finalizing the development of the launcher, he came to the bottom of the research layer, where one end of the vacuum pipe connecting the factory layer and the research layer was located.

York is here to take on the desires of each incarnation.

Eating a lot now.

A bunch of high-calorie food stuffed into the stomach.

When he saw the clown appear, he waved in a friendly manner.

Survival is the most basic desire.

And the Joker is the one who guarantees this desire.

"Can you contact the Five Elders?"

Bucky also gave a friendly smile and stood in front of York.

He now has some ideas that he wants to realize through this clone.

"Well, we can all do it!"

York tried his best to satisfy the food desires of his clones. He looked very serious, with a pair of goggles hanging on his wavy twin ponytails, and his body was close to that of a giant.

Bucky wasn't even as tall as her calf.

He had a silly smile on his face while speaking.

"But you're different."

"The Five Elders may not necessarily believe what other Vegapunks say, but you can. They will definitely believe you."

Bucky narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold after hearing the frivolous words.

York was stunned for a moment, then stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth and said honestly: "I don't quite understand what you are saying~"

"Well, if it's a collaboration, you should go find the original owner."

"You seem to have misunderstood. I'm not here to discuss cooperation."

Bucky flicked his fingers and four or five gas ghosts split from his body, vaguely surrounding York.

"There's one thing Vegapunk and the others can't figure out yet... who leaked the information about his research on the historical text to the World Government."

"Only he and his clone, who synchronizes his knowledge and experiences every day, know about this."

"Well, what a coincidence, isn't it..."

Bucky took another step forward, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.

"Guess where I just came from?"

"The monitoring room? Or where your real body and clone are?"

This question was very simple for him.

Among Vegapunk's six clones, York is the traitor.

In addition to the news that Baki asked Morgans to spread, the news leaked by York to the Five Elders directly prompted Satan to go on the expedition in person.

“Enjoyment is a higher desire.”

"But survival is the most basic desire, right?"

York stopped eating and stopped smiling, feeling greatly threatened by the ghosts.

Survival was threatened.

She was silent for a long time and even put down the hamburger in her hand.

"What do you need me to do?"

York raised his head again, his eyes calm.

She is the incarnation that carries desire, without thoughts or wisdom, just the most basic desire.

So choosing to survive is a matter of course.

"Didn't I say from the beginning that I was just passing on a message to the Five Elders?"

People who cannot put their desires into a cage are actually very easy to control.

Especially for someone like Bucky.

"This part should not exist in your synchronization, after all, you have done this before."

With a flick of his finger, he took back all his clones.

Hearing this, York also smiled.

"will not."

Although I don’t know where the Joker knew my secret, it is better than being known by my real self.

After asking York to pass the message to the Five Elders, Buggy asked him to transfer the remaining Seraphim in the name of Vegapunk.

In the authority table of the authoritarian chip, Vegapunk and his clones have higher authority than Sen Taomaru and other high-ranking naval officers, and only lower than the Five Elder Stars.

“It’s been a really fulfilling day.”

"It seems that I have become the one hiding in the iron sheet and plotting the conspiracy?"

After turning around, Bucky returned to the monitoring room with a lightsaber in his hand.

Light sabers are a bit of a mosquito magnet.

"Well, it's almost time."

“It’s time for a new game.”

He looked at the surveillance footage. Except for the navy in the direction of Zhan Taomaru which was blocked, the navy in other directions had already advanced straight into the vacuum pipe.

The navy that landed on the island was roughly divided into two groups. One group was smaller and stayed in the port area. Kizaru was also here, but Satan did not get off the ship.

The other group, led by several lieutenant generals, had already penetrated deep into the factory floor to conduct a sweep.

McKennin was one of those in the sweep.

His eyes lingered on the science fiction buildings from time to time, but the spear in his hand was always staring at the windows where people might look out.

We can't let our guard down, this is the doctor's research base.

McKenna didn't think about why the doctor, who was originally a collaborator, was suddenly eliminated.

To him, everything here was beyond comprehension.

That is dangerous.

It made McKennin nervous.

The first three years of his career as a menial worker had already taught him that in the navy, subordinates must absolutely obey their superiors.

Command is everything.

He particularly cherished his rank of sergeant, which was an achievement he had earned after risking his life many times over more than ten years.

"His Excellency the Lieutenant General has arrived at the vacuum pipe, and we will follow him."

"understand!"

"understand!"

McKenna gave orders to his sergeants and corporals, under whom were privates first and second class.

Privates and menial servants are not eligible to participate in this mission.

"Sergeant, that wall seems to be lit up?"

"where?"

McKenna looked alert, huddled behind the wall, and looked over carefully.

Under a square building, a wall facing their direction suddenly lit up, and a figure emerged.

The clothes he was wearing looked familiar.

Like a celestial dragon... How could a celestial dragon appear here?
"What wall is lighting up? This is the image played by the Image Den Den Mushi!"

"It's the recorded scene, just like what happened before with the Joker!"

McKenna was quite knowledgeable, so he suppressed his doubts, explained a few things to his subordinates, and then reported what happened here to his superiors.

When it comes to the Celestial Dragons, we naturally have to treat them with caution. They are the descendants of God and are different from us.

At this time, a voice was heard from the screen again.

"On the Void Throne...Im..."
