One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 234 Green Blood, Complete Concept
A certain sea area in the New World.

A pirate ship was running for its life, with the black sail on the mast spread to its maximum. A dozen pirate sailors were divided into two rows, pulling at the ropes desperately on the open deck.

A black gun was stuck on one of their winches, and the cable could not be fixed, so they had to rely on manpower to tow it.

"Quick, throw everything except water and dried meat into the sea!"

"If you don't want to die at the hands of that devil, move as fast as you can!"

The captain in the black tricorne hat roared desperately, with the long sword in his hand shining brightly. If anyone dared to say no, he would chop off the person's head immediately.

"Or else throw yourself into the sea!"

"Faster!!"

The pirate captain's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned from time to time to look over the stern at the warship that was hanging closely behind them.

The warship does not have the navy's seagull logo, but a burning flame, and the hull is not dark green camouflage, but black and red all over.

It has a weird and cruel touch.

"Why did this mad dog target me? Damn it! My bounty is obviously less than 100 million, only 95 million Baileys, why did he target me?!"

"A former admiral of the navy, how come he went wild after leaving the navy, catching pirates everywhere in the New World!"

"You're not a fucking navy anymore!"

The pirate captain felt cold all over, but the warship behind him was like a skilled hunter, waiting for its prey to struggle and exhaust its last bit of strength.

The sailors on the deck gradually lost their strength and the square sail was furled.

The pirate captain himself went up to pull the rope, but the speed of the ship still slowed down little by little.

The warships soon caught up.

The two ships were so close that the pirate captain could clearly see the man standing at the bow of the warship even from the open deck.

He was wearing a floral shirt and a baseball cap, with a cigar between his lips and his eyes hidden in the shadow of the hat brim.

"I surrender!"

“I surrender!!”

Faced with the former admiral of the navy, the pirate captain had no intention of resisting and raised the white flag on the bow.

"Sin cannot be undone by surrender."

Sakaski raised his head, his eyes filled with extreme hatred and contempt, and ignored the pirates' white flag.

"You might as well go to hell and repent."

"Meteor volcano!"

The lava that fell from the sky broke the trusses, ignited the black sails, and destroyed the entire pirate ship in an instant. Only the sea was digesting the wreckage bit by bit.

"Ninety-five million Baileys bounty on the one-handed butcher, McClane."

Tina picked up the yellowed bounty poster and heavily drew a cross on it.

"Sir Sakaski, this is already the fourth pirate group we have eliminated this month. Our plan to sweep the first half of the New World was a success."

"Compared to three months ago, the number of pirate groups that appeared here has dropped dramatically. The only exception is Totland."

"Yeah." Sakaski nodded, buried his face in the shadows again, and instructed: "Go around the perimeter to make sure there are no fish that slip through the net."

"Don't worry about Totland, but if their tentacles dare to extend, cut them off."

Sakaski is completely acting like the new world tyrant.

He has no scruples about attacking the Four Emperors.

What is he afraid of?
He only has this one ship, and even if Big Mom herself comes to Sakaski, Sakaski will not be afraid. And those below Big Mom will not only suffer any harm when facing Sakaski, but may also be killed directly.

He had even been to Totland, also known as the Wano Country, once. He had to admit that the Big Mom Pirates, who were devoted to food and racial unity... they were doing pretty well.

The people there live better than the people of 90% of the countries Sakaski has seen.

Even he couldn't find any reason to define sin as human.

Probably only the Pirate brand.

The Navy and the Big Mom Pirates fought a battle near the G1 branch. Neither side had an overwhelming advantage, and with the threat of the Joker, it turned into a long-term small-scale friction.

"In addition, many nobles have filed complaints against us with the World Government." Tina folded up the bounty order and put it together with the previous pile.

“They said our presence had severely affected their trade activities.”

"Oh, they are all doing some shady trade."

There are two most profitable trades on the ocean. One is arms, which is done by the world government itself, and the other is population, which is done by many underground forces in collusion with the upper nobles.

“Do you know which countries?”

"The Kingdom of Oikot, the Kingdom of Kokia, the Kingdom of Bliss, and the Kingdom of Deirena."

Tina had prepared the list long ago.

As a criminal wanted by the World Government and a former rear admiral, Tina can not only receive various news from the World Government and the Navy, but also get specific lists.

Don’t ask, the only thing you need to ask is friendship among classmates!
"Please note that from now on, all the damage and replenishment of warships will be borne by them. This is called ocean cleaning fees."

Sakaski said coldly that the navy's purse was not in his hands, but after he went out on his own, he could easily control the purse.

His gaze stayed on the sea for a long time, until the wreckage of the pirate ship was completely digested by the sea water and white lines floated on the sea surface, then he felt relieved.

"Who's the next target?"

"Compared to this, there may be something else worthy of attention."

Tina was holding a file bag, like a secretary.

Explosion is justice, and this has been fully demonstrated in her and Sakaski's team.

"The World Government invites you to attend the World Conference."

"Why would I go? Isn't the World Conference for the participating countries?"

Sakaski raised his brow.

He still maintains a certain tacit understanding with the World Government. After all, nearly half of the navy are his supporters.

"This is an impromptu meeting. Only the kings of forty member states have been summoned to attend. However, you are invited to attend another small meeting. The topic is... how to eliminate the most unstable factor in the ocean - Buggy the Clown."

"The clown has really pissed them off."

Hearing this, Sakaski turned around from the open deck with a look of relief on his face.

"That's almost it."

……

……

"almost."

In the Navy's office, Aokiji looked at the newly delivered documents on the desk and finally forced a smile on his face.

The document consists of two parts. One is about the removal of some government supervisory personnel serving in the Navy, and the other requires the Navy to use the occasion of the World Conference to kill the Joker at all costs.

The latter is a file that only Aokiji can see.

Obviously, the World Government has a clear understanding of fun-loving people like the Joker and knows what will impress him most.

Look!
There is a meeting here attended by 40 kings, the Five Elders and a large number of Celestial Dragons!

Only three days left, miss it and have to wait another four years!
How could the clown not be moved?

If Aokiji himself were a member of the Revolutionary Army, he would be tempted.

One job is equivalent to several years' work in the past.

However... I still have to be on guard against the Five Elders who might turn against me.

Aokiji tapped his fingers on the table.

……

……

Egghead.

In the center of the Punk Records Laboratory stands a vertical glass tank filled with a nutrient solution similar to formalin.

There are two thin pipes on the tank that connect to the tank from another very sophisticated instrument. The pipes are made of some special transparent glass.

You can clearly see green blood flowing towards the human figure inside the tank.

At one end of the pipe is a needle-like instrument that pierces directly into the heart and back of the neck of the person in the tank.

The person inside the tank was naked and thin. It seemed that as the green blood flowed, he became thinner and his ribs could be clearly counted.

The shrunken clown still had a terrifying aura, as if he would open his eyes at any moment, laugh out loud, and stab a knife into someone's forehead.

The nutrient solution, which was light green just now, quickly turned transparent.

"The nutrient solution has been consumed by 90% and needs to be replaced."

Pythagozilla, the symbol of "wisdom", looks like a robot with a knob on its head and the word "knowledge" is printed on its chest.

He stared at the various values ​​in the tank.

"Displacement."

The person in charge of the operation is Edison, with the word "Think" printed on the left side of his chest.

Under his operation, the transparent liquid in the tank flowed out through the gate opened at the bottom of the tank. The gate was closed and new nutrient solution was added to the top of the tank.

The moment the nutrient solution ran out, Pythagozilla clearly saw the clown's heart beating heavily surrounded by his ribs.

"Raise the ocean energy concentration to 20 percent, quick!"

This is not a good sign.

Lao Bei had already completed the preliminary project of extracting ocean energy. After all, the bubble gun is a kind of ocean energy.

It looks like seastone powder.

As the nutrient solution dripped into the tank from the top, the clown's vigorously beating heart visibly calmed down.

"There are still four points left before his body can adapt to the green blood's replication ability."

"This is crazy." Edison, who had completed the operation, came over, his eyes wide open as he looked at what was projected on the electronic screen.

(*)

"Even if it is a Seraph that has merged with the blood of the Lunaria clan, it is impossible for it to contain two abilities at the same time."

"And you still say it's an adult choice."

"It's just strange. Do adults have to make such painful choices?"

"Indeed." Pythagoras in front of the instrument nodded. "He can accept this level. He has surpassed all previous test subjects and is beyond the level that humans can achieve."

"The main body said that this might be related to the soul."

"Like that Blackbeard, they not only have special physiques, but also very special souls."

"They cut a lot of slices of the main body, but Blackbeard was fine. Maybe that guy's taijutsu is also very strong."

"After all, he was once Whitebeard's subordinate."

"But I still lost to the Joker. The side effect of doubling the pain was too much of a weakening for a strong physical fighter."

Pythagoras looked regretful, "It just can't be replicated... If only we could build an instrument that has the ability to break into pieces, many of our research results could be put into mass production."

"In that case, pacifists are true pacifists."

The "wise" personality believes that the reason why pacifists have become tools of the world government is that they are not numerous enough and are not independent enough.

If there are enough pacifists with the will of a big bear, then they can realize the world of their dreams, right?
The value on the instrument suddenly jumped.

Pythagoras heard a long and clear exhalation.

The numbers on the monitor began to dance.

It repeatedly jumped between zero and one hundred, and even showed a value exceeding one hundred several times.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the monitoring equipment?"

"No, that clown is laughing!"

"Quickly notify the main body!"

Wisdom and thoughts suddenly became extremely busy, and the nutrient solution in the tank was consumed rapidly, and soon turned into a transparent color.

Edison could only keep replacing the nutrient solution in it. After repeating this seventeen times, the value on the monitoring instrument finally stabilized at one hundred.

The person in the tank raised his hand and rubbed his eyes gently, as if he had just woken up.

The palm of the hand can feel the presence of sticky liquid.

The palm of the hand pushed gently.

White cracks spread across his palm.

Split the nutrient solution along with the entire tank.

The cross section is covered with a layer of translucent light mist.

Bucky's feet had already touched the cold floor.

"You probably need a new set of clothes."

Vegapunk came into the laboratory and pointed to the machine on the other side.

"really."

Bucky nodded.

The clothes provided by Old Bay's automatic locker room are indeed much better than Buggy's previous windbreaker. He did not choose the combat suit, but still chose the purple windbreaker, but the material is lighter and cooler, the inside seems to be constant temperature, and the word SSG is printed on the hem.

Even to cater to his preferences, the windbreaker was obviously distressed.

Bucky scratched his head, very satisfied.

This dressing room also has a flushing function.

After walking out of the locker room, his fingers kept pointing in the air, and every time his fingertips touched the air, white cracks could be seen spreading in the air.

It was like... he was hitting the glass window with a breaker.

"It seems our experiment was successful."

Bucky couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

This time, when he fused the green blood, he combined the abilities of two fruits at once.

The Childlike Fruit and the Tremor Fruit.

The green blood of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is extracted from Big Black Lady, while the Childlike Fruit is obtained by Buggy first giving the fruit to Tomic to eat, and then extracting the bloodline factor from him.

You won’t die, at most you will be weak for a while.

By exchanging for a parahuman-type devil fruit, Tomic made a fortune.

"And I can feel that... the Fracture Fruit and the Tremor Fruit together seem to be more complete."

“A whole concept of division.”

Vegapunk nodded, with hidden fear and worry in his eyes.

"One is the energy released during the splitting and collision process, and the other is the process itself. The combination of the two really has an effect beyond imagination."

"With the fruit of childishness..."

He really created such a user with four fruit abilities with his own hands!
Vegapunk felt mixed emotions regarding his research results.

Even the birth of the Pacifist and the Seraph did not bring him such complex emotions.

But as a clown who overthrows the old order, he is more than qualified.

Old Bay doesn't care about the mythical Nika anymore.

"You have only acquired this ability initially. The growth of your ability still depends on you."

Unlike the exploration of the application of abilities by Devil Fruit users, his prototype Tremor and Childish abilities are still very immature compared to his other two abilities.

"You must be very hungry. The food has been prepared for you."

Next to the laboratory, large amounts of high-calorie food are continuously delivered via conveyor belts.
