One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 246 I made a fortune!

In the early morning, along with the morning light that broke through the darkness, there were also countless artillery shells.

"It has been confirmed that former Admiral Zefa and his group are hiding in the town of Keylan on FOOD... Island. The town is guilty of harboring and not reporting. With the permission of the Navy Marshal, the order to clean up is being executed!"

Near the coast, seven warships were lined up in a row. The roar pierced the comfort of the early morning and black smoke floated out of their gun muzzles.

A team of three gunners were reloading.

And a naval officer used a loudspeaker to give the entire town an ultimatum.

"Former Admiral Zephyr, if you don't want these innocent people to die because of your risky actions, come out and surrender!"

The navy's forces were divided into two parts. One part was on the warships, relying on the warships' advantage of long range to bomb the entire town.

The other part is the ground forces directly led by Kizaru and Fujitora, who will carry out capture missions after the bombing.

In fact, when Kizaru and Fujitora appeared together in the ground force, it already reflected that the navy had no hope in the so-called persuasion to surrender.

"Is that all I taught you?"

Zefa pushed away the fallen wooden stakes, and the huge special arm crusher left a drag mark on the floor.

He stood on a high slope in the town, facing the sea and the direction of the warship.

"They disregard innocent lives, label their ruthless and cruel actions as justice, try to evade moral condemnation with a few words, and use such shameless tricks to coerce..."

“Is that all I taught you?”

Zefa's voice drowned out the whistling of the sea breeze, the sound of the shells breaking through the wind, and the noisy footsteps on the deck...

The lieutenant general holding the microphone even lowered his head reflexively.

The originally noisy voices also became silent.

Nearly half of the officers on the warship had received instruction from Zefa.

He is the chief instructor at the Naval Academy.

Now, the chief instructor, with half gray hair, stood on the high slope of the island opposite the navy.

Although she is in her seventies, she looks radiant after putting on a pair of cat-eye sunglasses and styling her hair back.

The roar spread across the nearby sea.

"The debt of human life will not be borne by me, but by you!"

"If you want to stop me, your teacher, then come here with your honest strength!"

The warships that were firing suddenly became very quiet.

It's like a good student facing a scolding from the teacher, lowering his head and enduring it silently.

"Stop shooting. The teacher won't surrender just because of something like this."

Kizaru's voice came from another Den Den Mushi.

The vice admiral in charge of the warships had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Everyone, stop firing!"

He glanced around the port again.

Fighting the chief instructor...it's really stressful.

After all, he was a lieutenant general, and Stirles's shame came and went quickly, and he soon issued a new order.

"All warships should disperse and find the warships they hijacked. Once you find them, do not attack without authorization and wait for orders from the ground forces."

"Yes!"

"understand!"

Seven rows of warships then spread out and formed a ring to monitor every sea outlet on the island.

Although warships also use sails and masts, they are not entirely powered by wind. There are new energy sources, and steering does not need to rely too much on wind power.

After all, they could even survive the doldrums.

As the warship fleet dispersed, the ground forces led by Kizaru and Fujitora also officially entered the town.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kizaru."

Fujitora stepped on the broken stone slabs and bowed slightly to Kizaru in front of him.

The decision to stop the bombardment was based on both Kizaru's judgment and Fujitora's request.

It was hard for a blind man who believed in the justice of benevolence to accept that he was to lead a team to clean up a scorched earth.

"Then let's try to make it quick and decisive."

"Your kindness will increase our casualties."

Kizaru did not comment. As long as they were not from a member country, their lives could not be considered lives, but those of some kind of beasts.

It's cruel, but it's reality.

He was not just talking, he took a step forward.

A beam of light hit Zefa directly.

Zefa decisively held the crusher horizontally and used the mechanical arm to block his body, but even so, the powerful laser still forced Zefa to move back two or three meters to slow down.

"Long time no see, Mr. Zefa."

After a laser kick, Kizaru's body turned into light particles and appeared next to Zephyr.

If you want to win the battle quickly, the best way is of course to take down Zefa's flag. As long as Zefa falls, the entire NEO Navy will be nothing.

High mobility is one of Kizaru's biggest advantages.

"You should change your bad habits, Kizaru!"

As he spoke, Zefa suddenly jumped up. He had held the deadly drug ES in his mouth when he climbed up the slope. Now he swallowed it into his stomach, and the strength he had when he was young surged up again.

The huge crusher seemed like a piece of cake in his hands.

Suddenly it was in front of Kizaru, with the three iron fingers of the crusher wide open, ready to grab Kizaru.

However, Kizaru's reaction speed was equally fast, and his body had turned into particles again.

Seeing this, Zefa no longer thought about catching him, but instead pushed forward with all his strength.

The crusher made of seastone was like a whip punch, hitting Kizaru hard.

He flew backwards and hit the walls of a row of houses, leaving long scratches on the ground.

"People with special abilities should keep a distance from seastone, Borsalino!"

Zefa took advantage of the victory, stomped his left foot on the floor, jumped into the air dragging the heavy crusher, and was about to attack again towards the place where Kizaru flew.

But the Sparkle-Spark Fruit is much faster than him.

There was a flash of yellow light, and Kizaru had already flown behind Zephyr, his white navy coat fluttering in the sea breeze.

"You taught me a lesson, Mr. Zephyr."

He thought Satan should listen to this advice seriously.

"Smash...Tornado!"

Zefa was not surprised by this. As the chief instructor, he had a clear understanding of the three monsters under his command.

The Pika Pika Nomi has no shortcomings in speed, damage and range, so it can be said to be very versatile.

The Molten Fruit has fierce explosive power and extremely high lethality, but it lacks in mobility.

Frozen fruits are functional, especially when they are in the sea.

These were the summaries of Zefa's many years of observation and teaching. The difference was that back then it was to make the three monsters more monsters, but now it is to defeat them.

The crusher made a half circle in the air, and the heavy machine swung out a whirlwind that was as real as a substance, stopping Kizaru's next move.

Zefa then suddenly fell to the ground, like a huge rock falling, creating a big hole in the ground and stirring up countless pieces of gravel.

The rubble temporarily blocked Kizaru's vision, but his fighting instinct made him open his arms directly.

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"

Countless balls of light fell like a storm, and in response, there was the sound of shells falling off the crusher.

The intensive sweeping fire like a Gatling gun collided head-on with the Yasakani no Magatama.

Human firearms and natural elements attempted to fight out the winner in mid-air over the island, but compared to the physical strength consumed by Qiong Magatama, the amount of ammunition that could be stored in the crusher was limited and was soon covered by the light curtain.

Zefa lifted the crusher and placed it horizontally above his head. His feet were embedded in the stone slabs and were constantly moved backwards under the impact of the light curtain.

The surrounding houses were also turned into a honeycomb shape during this period of time.

At this time, Kizaru's accuracy with the Kodama was good again.

Many light orbs directly brushed past Zefa's body, leaving red burn marks, while some that hit his body directly were pushed down by his armed color domineering.

"Teacher Zefa, give up. Your idea is too dangerous."

Kizaru Kodama paused, turned around, grasped the sword of Ame-no-Kume, and chopped it down from top to bottom.

“Dangerous, but doable.”

"What do you think the sea will look like then?"

Zefa let out a long breath and a smile that showed he had let go of everything appeared on his face.

The sound of gunfire was heard all over the town, and Ian and Binz were fighting the navy in different alleys.

Even facing the pressure from the admiral, Fujitora had to slow down his pace.

"The greatest obstacle standing in the way of mankind disappears, the rising sea water covers the Holy Land, and the four seas, paradise, and the new world, everything will be intertwined here."

"At this time, the paradise of pirates will no longer exist. Now even the concept of pirates will change! The whole world will usher in a brand new destiny!"

"Can you imagine such a future, Borsalino?"

Kizaru's eyes were hidden behind his brown sunglasses, and Ama Murakami kept swinging and chopping, leaving white marks on the crusher.

It is indeed a weapon specially customized for Zefa by the Naval Science Corps.

The ridiculous thoughts interrupted Kizaru's imagination.

"You are old now, wouldn't it be nice to just enjoy your old age?"

Just like Cap.

As long as he doesn't do it, no one can do anything to him even if he is the son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army or the grandson of a pirate supernova.

He is still a respected naval hero.

As soon as he said this, Kizaru quickly regretted it.

Teacher Zefa is not such a person.

as predicted.

After hearing what Kizaru said, Zefa laughed several times in a row.

"That's why I have to do this kind of thing even more!"

"I have made a fortune by exchanging this dying body for a truly new era!"

Without this world full of pirates, many things would not happen.

If you don't kill them, you will think that all the pirates can be caught.

He thought it was his own responsibility to lose his wife and children.

I failed to protect my students and thought it was because I was not strong enough.

Until the World Government's order came out, the order giving the murderer Whitebeard II the title of Shichibukai, Zephyr felt as if he had been electrocuted all over.

I suddenly understood a lot of things.

The vicious circle headed by the World Government, the member countries, Tenjojin, the Navy, and the pirates has created its own series of tragedies!
As long as this vicious cycle remains unchanged, similar tragedies will continue to repeat themselves, just like the past eight hundred years of history.

Were there fewer pirates before the Great Pirate Era began?

However, the morale of these guys has been reduced.

In the past, Rocks only thought about becoming the king of the world, but now the pirates only think about treasure.

That's why Zefa is so determined to break this vicious circle.

Even if they knew that once the Power Rock was lost, the Navy would pursue it with all their might.

Kizaru's outline jade will also turn into a padlock jade.

He didn't want young people like Ain and Binz to remain in this vicious circle.

"Teacher Zefa, it seems that the effect of your medicine is about to wear off."

Kizaru saw that the gray area on the upper half of Zefa's hair was still spreading, and his body wielding the crusher was becoming heavier.

I'm old after all.

Although Kizaru seems to be taking his time, in fact, Ame Murakami's attack leaves no room for any gaps, and he doesn't give Zephyr the chance to take the medicine again.

When it comes to drug use, there will always be a second time.

Although the teacher said a lot, Kizaru did not forget his goal of a quick victory. At least when it comes to his subordinates, he is not as cruel as those completely righteous people.

And another general is already nearby.

Fujitora was not held back for long by these lush vines. Even for the little guy with strange abilities, it would be a fantasy to get close to him or even touch him in an environment of multiple gravity.

"I can indeed imagine how vivid this new era will be."

"It's the biggest gamble with a small bet. No wonder you are willing to risk everything you have."

"But I can also imagine that in that so-called new world, there will be many gamblers who will put their heads on their belts and gamble with their heads for the overwhelming power."

Yixiao tapped the ground with his staff knife. The honeycomb-like houses, the bumpy stone roads, and the hidden guns and arrows in the dark, nothing escaped his perception.

"Another monster? Hehe."

Zefa laughed twice instead. He did not object to such kindness, but his time was running out, and he no longer expected the World Government to be moved.

"You don't deserve the name of a monster."

The Fujihu stick knife was held horizontally and the blade slowly came out of the sheath.

The surrounding gravity was distorted little by little with the reflection of the cold knife light.

The crusher in Zefa's hand was pressed further into the soil and rocks, and the movement of raising his hand became awkward and stiff.

"Surrender, Mr. Zephyr."

Kizaru held Ame no Murasaki in both hands, and the bright light made his face exceptionally bright.

"..."

Zefa lifted the crusher with difficulty, his greedy look that seemed to be willing to give up everything remained unchanged.

But the crusher was lifted and put down again, as if its whole body was overdrawn.

Fujitora and Kizaru both sensed a familiar aura coming out, and suddenly felt sweaty.

It seems... it came from the sky?
A long shadow came down first, and the sandworm's unique body slammed down.

"Um, sorry, sorry. I just went to Marijoa to buy some goods and was busy selling them out. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with what's going on here."

Bucky stood on the sandworm's back, folding his arms, looking distressed.

"I was thinking of a better way to appear... Like, suddenly, let the sandworms come out from the ground and swallow all three of you."

"Alas, we have to make do with this as it is an emergency."

Like an actor who failed to give his best performance, he apologized to the audience with a guilty look in his eyes.

Then he looked up, and his face looked like the cheerful clown on the screen.

"Well, we still have to say something."

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, am I not late?"
