One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 227 Go Back
"Did you see anything?"

On the sea level not far from Buggy's warship, Wang Zhi's pirate fleet was shaped like an arrow, with more than ten medium-sized sailboats in the first row, three large sailboats in the middle, and dozens of small and medium-sized ships hanging at the tail.

If you zoom out further, you can see scattered ships on fire, as if they are fighting with someone.

The lead ship of the fleet is the large sailing ship in the center.

It is a huge ship with five decks and equipped with up to 140 guns.

The observation room of this huge building is also extremely high.

Standing on it, you can see all the ships in front and behind.

Wang Zhi looked anxious at this time, so he stood on it himself and looked back from time to time.

"Blackbeard's main force didn't show up. They should be busy taking over Beehive Island."

His subordinate was a man wearing round-frame glasses, with a dark face and hair tied into many braids.

"Teach, you bastard!"

Wang Zhi groaned, grasping his goatee with one hand, his face, battered by the sea breeze, looked like mountains and ravines.

He had a thin face and his beard had turned a bit gray as he got older.

There were bandages from his left shoulder to his lower abdomen, and a bright silver shoulder armor on his right shoulder.

"Captain..."

The man with glasses didn't know what to say.

If it was a simple naval battle, they would naturally have nothing to fear with their huge fleet, but in terms of individual strength, the ship owner was taught a lesson by his junior Blackbeard.

It hurts a bit.

"Okay, don't persuade me."

"It's time to retreat now. After I recuperate for a few years, I won't have any problem dealing with this black fellow!"

I didn't mean to advise you!

The pirate with round-frame glasses twitched his mouth.

He originally said that they should just surrender. With such a fleet, they could at least get the position of captain in the Blackbeard Pirates.

We are all pirates.

Why bother?
pity.

Wang Zhi simply could not tolerate himself bowing down to such an unknown junior.

I'm in the Rocks Pirates!

His colleagues are all legendary pirates like Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and Golden Lion, but he ended up working under Whitebeard's son Blackbeard?

If that bastard Rocks knew this, he would be laughed to death!
Wang Zhi really couldn't stand this grievance.

"Then Captain, where should we retreat next?"

This is the real issue at hand.

Wang Zhi scratched his beard, looking thoughtful.

Where else in the new world could he find shelter?

Looking for an intern Kaido?
"Let's contact the World Government first."

"We have been working together for so many years, and we have paid a lot of money in disguised form. We can't just walk away now."

“I’m afraid they can’t take care of themselves…”

The deputy muttered.

The news that the Marine Headquarters was breached by Kaido had already spread across the sea.

"You should at least show some appreciation!"

Wang Zhi sneered and rubbed his shoulders.

"Have Linde and his team returned from their exploration? Are there any towns or villages along the way where we can get supplies?"

For a fleet as large as his, food, clothing and other expenses are big problems, and they are fleeing in a hurry, so the preparations are naturally not sufficient.

The deputy nodded, agreeing with the question, "We have to plunder..."

"I'll go ask. Their shadows can't be seen in the telescope for the time being."

"Wait." Wang Zhi stretched out his hand, "I have a bad feeling in my heart."

"Bring me last night's star map so I can take another look."

The deputy was not surprised by Wang Zhi's hobby.

Studying star maps is very important for navigation.

"Yes."

He nodded and slid down the rope ladder to the mast.

……

……

"Wang Zhi?"

After hearing that Linde sold out his boss so decisively, Bucky naturally stopped making things difficult for them.

They were also given a ship.

However, the fresh water on the ship had been emptied.

If you're lucky, you won't die.

I was so merciful that I didn't even see blood this time.

Bucky shook his head and directed the warship to go in the direction Lind said.

"Mr. Joker...should we intervene in their fight?"

Tomic probably understands the Joker's goal.

Experimental material: Blackbeard.

They planned to slice up Blackbeard for research.

Now is a good opportunity. I can take advantage of the fight between Blackbeard and Wang Zhi to cut in and be the final culprit.

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

"If it's something interesting, then play it."

Bucky wasn't in high spirits.

He is not very interested in this group of pirates now.

After wandering around in the New World for so long, the people who had the most fun were the Celestial Dragons.

The second is the navy.

Pirates are listed alongside Gotham's drug dealers.

It's all entertainment.

In order to meet the potential friend whom he had never met but was full of expectations for with the most surprising appearance, Buggy decided to sacrifice Blackbeard first.

Whether Wang Zhi offered the sacrifice or not depended on his worth.

Tomic couldn't figure out the clown's attitude.

These big shots are so annoying, they don't even know what they're saying!

Of course, this could also be the reason why the Joker has no plan at all.

Helplessly, Tomic had to make the decision himself.

He holds the authority chip, which ranks one level lower than the Joker.

After some hesitation, he gave the pacifists the order to bomb directly.

We’ll know whether it’s valuable or not after we bomb it!
The resolute look was fully recognized by the Joker.

Bucky stood at the bow, various voices intertwined in his mind, and Red Nose contributed to his understanding of Wang Zhi.

Heard it from Captain Roger.

It is said that he is a very conceited and profit-driven guy.

He is one of the few members of the Rocks Pirates who survived the Battle of God Valley.

What’s even more interesting is that after the Rocks Pirates were destroyed in God’s Valley, it was Wang Zhi who took over the former Rocks Pirates’ base.

There was no change in the ship's course.

Just put a few more Pacifists on the bow.

When I saw the navy using it, I didn't think much of it.

But when I have it myself, I feel that this thing is really useful!
When in doubt, use two lasers.

As soon as a few Pacifists were put up, Wang Zhi's fleet appeared in the sight of Buggy and others.

It was pitch black, like dark clouds sinking onto the sea. The bows of the dozen or so ships at the head were all equipped with extremely sharp-looking conical rams.

Dense gun muzzles can be seen on the bow deck and both sides.

"Hehehehe...it seems a bit interesting."

Bucky thought about it and decided to ask Tomic and the others to pull out a banner.

……

"Ship owner!"

"There is a situation!"

Wang Zhi, who was still studying the star map, was startled and his eyes widened immediately.

"Is that bastard Tiqi chasing us?"

"It's in front, there is a warship in front!" The deputy with glasses looked anxious and his words were incoherent.

Wang Zhi simply shook him off and climbed up the mast.

Although he was old, he was in good health. He quickly climbed up to the observation deck and looked ahead of the fleet through the telescope installed there.

A lone warship was heading in their direction. The warship was dark green camouflage and the size of a medium-sized sailing ship.

In front of his fleet that stretched for dozens of miles, it was like a small boat, as if it would capsize at any time in the waves raised by the surrounding large ships.

Wang Zhi focused his attention on the bow of the warship.

Four six-meter-tall pacifists stood opposite each other, their faces mechanical and solemn, and in the middle was a three-barreled turret.

The clown on top of the turret was sitting cross-legged casually.

As if noticing his gaze, she grinned and pointed a finger under herself.

There was a banner on the muzzle of the fort with only three words on it.

Go back.

"What's the meaning!!"

Wang Zhi's eyes were about to spit fire.

Even if you are a clown, even if you have tied up the Five Elders, you cannot look down on him like this!
Just three words and you want him to go back?

Who do you think Wang Zhi is?!

"It's just a ship, just a ship!" Wang Zhi kept muttering, but his voice became much lower.

He is a traditional pirate, and his power is based on quantity.

But Wang Zhi has full understanding of the strength of these people standing at the top of the sea.

Yes, it is the person standing on the top of the sea.

The Joker has fought against the Navy Admiral twice. Although the outcome was not clear both times, he does have the ability to do so.

"Go back... Damn it, these interns don't know how to respect their seniors at all!"

"Run over them, tell them to run over them!"

"Ship owner...they turned around."

There was a tremor in the glasses pirate's tone when he said this.

In front of the fleet, the dozen or so ships that served as the tip of the arrow turned their heads when they saw the word "clown".

He even ignored the ship owner's orders.

This is the Joker!
The only pirate in the New World who dares to capture the Celestial Dragons and tie up the Five Elders and launch them!

This is prestige and courage that far exceeds one's own strength!

Just like the deceased captain of the Sun Pirates, Tiger, all those who were born as slaves will respect him.

As for the Joker...

His bounty of billions, like that of the Four Emperors, became a little decoration on their countless honors and legends.

No one will have any greed anymore.

All those who hate the World Government and have been persecuted by the World Government and the Navy... will respect such a person who dares to think and act.

This has nothing to do with the Joker's mental state, it's just pure respect for his actions.

This type of people make up the majority of pirates.

And their boss, their ship owner is an old pirate who just suffered a defeat.

The fleet, which was originally protruding, split into two sides when facing this lonely warship, revealing the main ship behind it.

Bucky wasn't polite.

Without even changing course, it plunged straight into the middle of the fleet.

"clown…"

They were so close that they could see the clown's shadow on the deck.

Buggy just sat there, one hand firing on the turret and the other hand shielding his forehead, as if the huge fleet of nearly a hundred ships in front of him was not as threatening as the sunlight above his head.

The same is true.

After Wang Zhi experienced trembling with anger, he began to feel cold.

The main ship silently began to deviate without his order, making way for the clown.

Wang Zhi jumped directly from the lookout tower, borrowed several times from the crossbar, and landed on the deck.

The deck is also high up, and the clown's face can be clearly seen.

He raised his head with a mocking smile on his face.

When he saw me, he waved again.

Like a greeting.

"Captain...what should we do now? Many captains have started to turn around, and all the orders we sent have been read but not replied."

"But it looks like the Joker wants to attack Blackbeard. I heard that the two of them have had a grudge for a long time!"

The bespectacled pirate looked worried, but in fact he was full of instigation.

What is a legendary pirate?

These three words caused the fleet of more than a hundred ships to turn around.

It's so exciting. If it weren't for the fact that the ship owner saved his life, the glasses pirate would have wanted to follow him directly.

Wang Zhi was silent for a long time. When he turned around, his body suddenly bent down and his face looked old.

"Then go back."

The pirate with glasses was delighted when he heard this, and began to command the ships in the fleet to turn.

If there is no command over these guys, they will be blocked sooner or later!

"Our time has really passed..."

Wang Zhi muttered a few words and for the first time understood Whitebeard's cry before his death.

"New Era... I will stay in the New Era even if I have to!"

"Damn it, they are all a bunch of bastards!"

As he was talking, Wang Zhi touched his lower back, where three or four transparent wine bottles were hanging.

……

……

Beehive Island.

This is a paradise for pirates, filled with roughness and brutality everywhere. I thought it was because they had just experienced a fight, and there were many ruins in many places on the island.

The Blackbeard Pirates are holding a victory banquet in the center of the island.

“Hahahahahaha!”

"Indulge yourself, little ones!"

"That old bastard Wang Zhi has already fled with his tail between his legs!"

Teach held up his glass, looking extremely arrogant.

He had changed into a black hat with three skulls printed on it, and his black beard was tied into three braids.

Teach seems to have some obsession with the number three.

Arrogance and conceit are Blackbeard's original character, and they become even more exaggerated after a long period of disguise.

"Long live the admiral!"

"Four Emperors Blackbeard!"

"Please let me be the captain!"

The last sentence was spoken by a face that suddenly appeared on the wall of the room.

The King of Evil, Avalo Pizarro, possesses the superhuman ability of the Island-Island Fruit and has become one with the Beehive Island.

"If you want to be a captain, you must first own a ship!"

"Are you willing to let our ship run away?"

Hearing this, Blackbeard showed a ferocious smile on his face.

Capturing Beehive Island was part of the victory, and seizing Wang Zhi’s ship was another part of the victory.

Blame it on the Joker.

When he was watching a show around the Kingdom of Prodans, he was fooled by the clown and his flagship sank directly into the sea.

A huge loss.

Blackbeard was thinking about this grudge, but he had no chance to take revenge.

For someone like him, provoking a clown would do him no good.

Unless the World Government can offer him a bargaining chip that he cannot resist, Blackbeard would prefer to get along with the veteran Four Emperors like Kaido in the same way.

On the surface, they do not harm us at all, but secretly they often hinder us.

"But that old guy has already run out of the waters of Beehive Island!"

"Aren't we going to chase them?"

The younger brother below was not completely stupid and quickly asked.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Blackbeard looked conceited and kept drinking brown wine, which also covered his black beard.

"If we don't let the old guy run for a while, how can we make him hand over more ships?"

“Hahahahahaha!”

"What's a Wang Zhi?"

"My target is the whole world!"

"One day..."

Blackbeard's eyes flashed with ferocity.
