One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 226 We Are Being Targeted
The wind is noisy, so it is a good time to go out to sea.

"Raise the anchor and hoist the sails, boys!"

"We need to have a proper pirate adventure!"

At the port of Egghead, a dark green warship was busy.

The clown stood in front of the warship's deck and pulled out a brown leather captain's tricorn hat with a skull and crossbones logo sewn on it from behind.

He slapped his palms on the guardrail twice, his expression full of excitement.

Lost memories are constantly being revived.

As a non-mainstream pirate, he hasn't piloted a pirate ship for some time.

The busy people on the ship are former navy soldiers.

Tomic, who had previously joined him, was one of them.

"The damn navy has already allowed us to live for an extra half month. They don't know how much I missed them during this half month!"

"Maybe we should start a raid as well."

Bucky quite enjoyed the atmosphere at this moment.

Under the mast.

Tomic held the hemp rope in his hand and just raised his eyebrows at the clown's words.

This man is now their captain...

He was still wearing his original navy uniform, but the seagull logo on it was crossed out, as if to declare something.

"We have to get used to it... At least this guy won't sell us out."

He leaned back and pulled the hemp rope hard.

The mainsail was hoisted little by little.

Like the insignia on his uniform, the naval emblem on the mainsail was also added with a cross, and the black skull and crossbones flag was fluttering.

There is no logo, just a simple skull.

The sea breeze suddenly blew the sail to its maximum size.

The boat instantly pushed out two white waves, the sound of surging waves fell into the ears, and the heavy anchor stuck to the stern, making a clanging sound.

"The feeling of sailing... seems pretty good."

It’s not like Buggy hasn’t taken a boat before after traveling through time, but he was always on other people’s boats.

Take Morgause's ship in the Sabaody Archipelago, take Teabeard's ship after crossing the Red Earth Continent, and then take the Ark.

It has been a long time since I have experienced setting sail surrounded by a group of younger brothers.

What’s more interesting is this.

They use navy personnel and drive navy ships.

Double the fun.

"Captain, where is the target?"

"Hahahaha, let's go see that Pirate Island!"

"Beehive Island."

"I heard that Blackbeard has been defeated."

The warship has a permanent pointer to the island.

After all, it was following Satan's fleet and was fully equipped.

Buggy grinned and recalled the information Morgans had given him.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were defeated by Blackbeard not long ago, and Beehive Island became Blackbeard's base camp, just like the original plot.

Through this battle, he truly filled the vacancy of the Four Emperors.

It's one year later than the original plot.

The Joker is different, he cannot be viewed from the perspective of the traditional Four Emperors.

The World Government defines him as the most vicious criminal in the world.

I heard that there is a new title of blasphemer recently.

To commemorate his feat of tying Satan to a rocket and launching it into outer space.

It may also be the World Government's preparation to whitewash the Five Elders.

Wash the devil into the posture of God.

This was just publicity stuff, and Bucky wasn't very interested in getting involved, so he left it all to Morgans to handle.

The savior he mentioned mainly refers to the time when it is fun, but as for the time when it comes to shouldering responsibilities and morals.

Sorry, we are not familiar with each other.

Buggy squinted his eyes, enjoyed his captain's addiction, and then returned to his captain's room.

There are sofas, air conditioning and drinks here.

And lightsabers.

It's a pity that some entertainment activities are missing.

The crew members are our subordinates after all, we cannot blow them up at will.

People who often go out to sea know that it is only fun at the beginning. After two hours, they start to get tired of the monotonous sea water in front of them, and even the sound of the waves seems extremely boring.

Fortunately, sailing in the New World is always full of surprises.

After they had been sailing for more than an hour, the sea suddenly became violently violent, and raindrops as big as cow tears fell from the sky and kept hitting the hull.

The clear sky looks like it was splashed with ink.

The storm was howling and pulling at the square sails, as if it was going to pull the entire ship down.

The waves even splashed onto the second deck.

The standard warship beneath them had four decks, with two towers on top. The first floor was called the deckhouse, and the floor above that was the captain's room where Buggy was.

From where he was standing, the waves were still far away.

However, for an ordinary small or medium-sized sailing ship at this distance, it would probably have capsized.

Sailing battleships rely on wind power to navigate, but are inevitably restricted by the wind.

"Quick, full rudder!"

"Don't let the wind carry you away!"

Tomic's hoarse voice came from outside.

He followed Bucky half a day in advance and got the position of the first mate of the ship.

The helmsman was turning the boat desperately against the wind and rain.

The tail sail was swinging stiffly and the strong wind exerted great pressure.

There were several sailors running in the corridor, ready to add their weight to the rope at any time.

The four white sails were bulged into semicircles.

The boat was shaking and was carried forward at a high speed by the strong wind.

"Well, this is what it feels like to be a pirate."

Bucky didn't look worried.

At this time, through the porthole, you can see that the white waves are constantly hitting, and the sea water is surging and receding.

As expected, it feels best to stay on the second deck.

The captain's cabin is too high.

The sailors on the ship were all experienced soldiers, and even the huge waves in the New World did not pose any difficulty for them.

But the swaying warship and the whistling sound of wind and rain suddenly awakened Buggy from his sleepiness.

Amidst the shouting and flapping, I fell into a deep sleep on the second deck.

Rainy days are the best time to sleep.

……

"Mr. Bucky."

Tomic knocked twice on the door of the captain's cabin.

They had now passed the storm area, and the weather was fresh after the heavy rain.

"what's up?"

Bucky's voice came from behind, startling Tomic.

"You're not in the captain's cabin?"

"Ah...it's too quiet. I can't sleep."

Bucky tilted his head, looking very energetic.

"Any good news, my first mate?"

He stepped past Tomic and opened the door to the captain's cabin.

The display inside is also very simple, with an office desk, a sofa chair, a small freezer next to it, and an air conditioner developed by Vegapunk on top.

"That should be considered good news."

Tomic had a strange expression on his face.

"If I'm not mistaken, some time after you were resting and we crossed the storm, a large pirate fleet took notice of us."

"In short, we are surrounded, Captain."

A warship carrying navy rebels and clowns was targeted by the arrogant pirates of the New World.

The first to surround them were several small sailing ships, about the same size as the Merry, but taller and thinner.

"How far are we from the main ship?"

On the leading ship, a pirate with a short beard and a scar on his face put down his telescope, turned around and asked.

"It won't be too far. The boss will probably be able to see us with that big telescope." "But, Captain Lind, we are retreating now."

"Is it appropriate to rashly attack an unknown pirate ship?"

"What's the problem with this?" The pirate captain named Linde showed his black teeth. "It's just a lonely warship with an unknown flag."

"What do you think it is?"

The companions around him would think, "Rebellious navy?"

"almost."

Lind laughed and said, "I think it's a group of defeated soldiers. I heard they were defeated by the clown."

"Tell me, at this time, if we, on behalf of Boss Wang Zhi, initiate recruitment to them, do they have any reason to refuse?"

"This is Shichibukai-sama!"

The defeated Shichibukai are still Shichibukai.

Blackbeard seized their base camp but failed to capture their main fleet.

It’s a pity that Boss Wang Zhi was injured in the battle with Blackbeard and had to retreat strategically.

"If you want to make a contribution, you can't worry about whether it's worth it or not."

"But we have to test it out first, just in case they are a bunch of idiots."

"If we can occupy a warship. Hehehe."

Linde's eyes were full of greed.

Seven pirate ships formed a small fleet and surrounded the warship and took the lead in launching artillery fire.

On the deckhouse of the warship, Buggy looked at the cannonballs on the opposite side that were trying to climb onto the warship. His expression was strange at first, and then he showed a little smile.

"It's a boring sailing day, but thanks to the contribution of these little pirates, it finally doesn't seem so boring anymore."

"We have to fight back."

"Yes"

Tomic also admired the courage of these pirates.

They surrounded the man that Satanga Kizaru hadn't dealt with.

You dare to bombard!

He is really brave.

But even putting all that aside, the warship itself is superior to these small ships.

Tomic ran quickly and ordered the gunner to turn the three-barrel turret on the bow and fire a round of continuous fire at these ignorant pirates.

It has always been their navy that bombarded pirates. When did it become the pirates' turn to attack them first?

"Captain Lind, they're fighting back!"

"The prey is still struggling."

Linde chuckled twice, "This distance is enough!"

"Notify everyone and prepare for a boarding battle!"

The advantage of a small sailboat over a large sailboat is speed.

The small size also reduces the chance of being hit by artillery fire.

Moreover, Lind's men were already familiar with dealing with such bombardments.

Only one ship was hit by a shell and caught fire.

However, the mast did not fall and the speed remained unchanged. The pirates on it were already clamoring to change to a larger ship.

"Come on!"

"We can switch to a bigger ship!"

"Kick them to death!"

The small boat emitting black smoke crashed into the front of the warship.

Several iron hooks were thrown up.

Dozens of pirates grabbed the hemp rope and flew upwards, their skillful movements were no less than those of some mountain climbers.

But when they stepped over the side of the ship, they saw not a battle-ready queue, but a small giant.

The little giant wore a fluffy hat and a cold gray coat with the words PX-57 printed on it.

After glancing at them coldly, he raised his hand.

A laser passed over the arrogant pirates and landed on the pirate ship behind them.

On the deck, scattered former sailors came over, raised their eyebrows a few times, and then took out clown masks and put them on.

"Welcome aboard the Clown Gang's ship, scum!"

ten minutes later.

All seven small boats sank completely under the pacifist lasers.

Lind and others were tied into balls and made to kneel on the deck.

"What a shame, is this all the fun is?"

Bucky looked regretful.

Not enough fun!

There was no decent resistance at all.

When he stood in front of Lind and the others, he could see that these people were as cold as sieves and were sweating profusely.

"It seems I don't need to introduce myself again."

Bucky clapped his hands, smiling.

".Little.Clown!"

Sweat mixed with tears flowed down the forehead of a pirate.

All the facial features were squeezed together in fear.

It is difficult to describe their feelings at this moment.

Charged a warship, and then rushed to the clown.
This is a clown!
The world's most vicious criminal who dares to tie the Five Elders to a rocket and cut the Celestial Dragons into pieces!

"Oh! I like your expression at this moment."

The Joker crouched down, right in front of the pirate.

Then he casually took off the head of his companion.

A living head with moving eyeballs.

The pirate suddenly felt as if his scalp was being pierced by thousands of needles, and his eye sockets were about to hide in his bones!
"You must have a lot to say, so can you tell me first, who is the boss?"

"You, you are the boss!"

The pirates were fighting on both sides.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

Bucky wondered if his deeds had spread out, so these people were very skilled in dealing with them.

"At least just now, who was the captain among you?"

The pirate cast a weak look at Lind.

Linde almost buried his head in the sea, but he could still feel the surrounding eyes focusing on him.

My heart skipped a beat.

The Joker's several live broadcasts left a deep shadow on people.

Only when the person really appeared in front of him could Lind feel to what extent the fear in the hearts of those facing the clown had been magnified.

"It's Wang Zhi. Our boss is Wang Zhi."

"He ordered everything!"

He raised his head, his eyes pleading.

Hearing this, Bucky's expression finally showed some emotion.

Wang Zhi can be considered a remnant of the old era. In our memory, there is only a name of this old pirate, not even an image.

All we know is that this guy was once a member of the Rocks Pirates and the former owner of Beehive Island.

More information was obtained from Morgans.

After all, in the original plot, this old pirate would have been defeated by Blackbeard a year ago and disappeared.

Now not only has it been postponed for a year, but the navy has also given him the title of Shichibukai.

This is still the clown's fault.

He kills people quite quickly, so in order to fill the vacancies of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy can only turn to this remnant of the old era.

Hearing that Bucky was interested, Lind, feeling that he had saved his life, had no choice but to harden his heart.

Saving life is important!

Trembling, he revealed all the information about Wang Zhi.

This old pirate had just experienced a defeat and was still on the run, with Blackbeard's men still following him.

However, the old pirate has a deep foundation, and even if he runs away, he has a fleet of hundreds of pirate ships.

These few ships are just the vanguard.

While paving the way for the troops behind, it also assumed the responsibility of reconnaissance.

They targeted Buggy out of sheer greed.

Warships can also be prey in the New World, as long as they don't touch Tenjo Jin and the Celestial Dragons.

This is the consensus of the pirates in the New World.
