One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 250 The national treasure of the Celestial Dragons!

Warships are lingering near the coast.

"Even though I can't see, I can still feel the sea trembling at this moment."

Fujitora stood on the bow deck with his hand on the side, as if he was judging the intensity of the battle by the degree to which the side of the ship was shaking.

"After this battle, the Navy's internal positioning of the Joker's strength will be completely revised."

Next to Fujitora was the vice admiral in charge of commanding the warship. His eyes were fixed on the battle situation on the island, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Two years ago, no one would have thought that a daring clown would have such strength...

"The world's most vicious criminal, this guy's ability barely matches what he has done."

When Stirles saw the red light suddenly overwhelm the cracks, he was cheered up, then he said with some worry: "By the way, Mr. Fujitora, is it really okay for us to withdraw like this?"

"Of course it's not good!"

Fujitora affirmed: "Every gambler who is thrown out of a casino thinks that he can win everything back with just one more round."

“Because they can’t accept losses either.”

"But my habits are somewhat different from theirs."

Fujitora had a somewhat intoxicated smile on his face, as if he was recalling the noisy atmosphere in the casino.

You don't have to witness any crime, but you can still enjoy the hustle and bustle, curse or suddenly yell, and the instantaneous change of mood can even be like jumping off the top of the red earth continent.

"Whether I win or lose, as long as I reach halfway, I will know to quit."

Fujitora had the look of a veteran gambler.

"Is that why you lost next year's salary in this headquarters' casino?" asked Stirles.

“Oh!” Fujitora scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, “So it turns out that I’ve already taken out a year’s advance. I’m so sorry.”

"I will definitely win it back next time."

The warship was not too far away, and soon it discovered another warship that was not flying a naval flag. The personnel on the warship also looked particularly familiar.

Tina held the tiny ladies' cigarette in her hand, and her sunglasses filtered out the overly glaring red light in front of her.

"It seems that there will be no result for a while."

From a distance, the changes in the situation on the island are actually very clear.

Whenever you see red light dominating the entire sky, you can roughly determine that Sakaski has the upper hand.

But the red light doesn't last long, and cracks and sometimes explosions of fire will appear.

The sky was still thick with dark clouds, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

The rain stopped briefly when Akainu came, but now it was pouring again, even heavier.

The rain and wind continued to wash the warships under their feet.

Looking from a farther distance, the entire island seemed to be surrounded by a dark cloud, with red light and cracks flashing from the center of the cloud from time to time.

Tina looked at her watch. "It's already dawn. Tina needs to catch up on some sleep."

"By the way, can the World Conference still be held normally?"

……

……

Egghead.

Morgans, who was transferred from intelligence chief to transportation chief, was obviously much more nervous, and his tie was not so neat.

The bird raised its head frequently.

He was looking at the fusion furnace.

To be precise, it was the Holy Mother of Fire that was assembled together with the fusion furnace. After returning to the Punk Records Laboratory, this huge spherical component finally opened its interior.

Between a bunch of wires and mechanical structures, there is a translucent cube that looks like a fireplace with flames burning inside.

But it was not hot, more like a flame with a blue glow.

The bottom of the sphere is pieced together with a huge tower-like fusion furnace, and the existence of the cube can still be seen.

Atlas checked the splicing back and forth to make sure there were no loopholes, then made an OK gesture to the main body.

The main body nodded immediately.

Push up the lever in front of you.

A shrill whistling sound came from the square tower, like the howling of a devil coming from the abyss.

Morganus shuddered.

He actually thought of the clown's laughter just now.

How disrespectful.

But think about it, this madman actually asked him to throw the thing in front of him to Marijoa, so complaining about it doesn’t mean anything, right?

After the whistling sound, the flame in the cube suddenly burned brighter. The core of the flame was still blue, and the outer flame was orange-red with a hint of white.

"This thing has smashed the entire Prodans Kingdom into a deep pit. I heard that the sea level has risen a lot everywhere."

Morgans thought of the consequences of the first appearance of the Virgin Flame.

That caused a huge uproar all over the world.

“In the future… maybe the sea level will continue to rise.”

Vegapunk jumped down from the console, sticking out his tongue and his eyes flickering.

"Wouldn't that mean a lot of islands would be flooded, like the Seven Waters?"

Morganse was startled.

The Seven Water City experiences a huge tsunami every year. It is said that the tsunamis in recent years have been even bigger. His news agency has been specifically following up on this matter.

"Yes." Vegapunk nodded. "I found it when I was studying past history... You should know about the great kingdom that existed during the blank hundred years and disappeared so completely, right?"

The Great Kingdom is a taboo of the World Government, and ordinary people don’t know about it, but after all, Morgans is the head of intelligence.

He nodded immediately.

Lao Bei said slowly that the charging of the Holy Mother's Flame was still going on, but he didn't need to do anything now.

"According to my research, there is only one possibility to wipe out a great kingdom so thoroughly in history that not even a trace of it remains."

"big flood!"

At this point, Lao Bei's eyes were gloomy for a while, but he turned around and showed a thoughtful expression, with a cup of punk coffee in his hand, which was steaming.

"Do you know Mrs. Shirley from the Mermaid Cafe?"

"I recently visited her on the Ark."

"By the way, the coffee she makes is almost as good as the punk coffee I developed."

Vegapunk suddenly changed the subject, which dampened the transport boss's appetite and made his face turn ugly.

"What does this have to do with mermaids?"

"Yes, and it's very big." Lao Bei nodded and put away his playful expression.

"The existence of the Ark is an example of this."

"Eight hundred years ago, people seemed to have predicted that there would be a flood that would submerge the world."

“So in those ancient countries or creatures, I saw the preparations that the ancients made to prevent floods.”

"The high walls of Wano Country, the elephant lord, and the Ark are all evidence."

"Is what you said true?" Morgans' hair stood on end. He saw no sign of joking on Vegapunk's face.

"There was a flood eight hundred years ago, so there will be a tsunami eight hundred years later?"

"There's no connection between the two, right?"

"Generally speaking, there is no connection. Eight hundred years is too long. Even for giants, three generations have passed."

Vegapunk chuckled twice, but he didn't intend to throw out his conclusion right now. It wouldn't be a big deal to reveal some of it to the Joker's people.

They were originally the targets that the World Government must kill, and their many crimes are enough to overwhelm them.

"Unless it is on another scale." Old Bei pointed to the sky. "On an astronomical scale, eight hundred years is no different from one day."

"Will astronomical phenomena cause huge floods?" Morganus finally understood what Vegapunk meant, and his face turned pale.

If that guy Caesar said such a thing in front of him, Mr. Big News would definitely kick that guy in the ass and urge him to develop new equipment for Mr. Clown to entertain.

But the one who said this now was Vegapunk, a scientist who claimed to be five hundred years ahead of the world and a scientist who could make the Five Elders come down personally.

Although it was not successful, the value of Bei Datou is obvious.

Not to mention the examples given by Lao Bei.

He had been to Wano Country, and the high walls on both sides did seem unreasonable at first glance, but if it was to prevent a terrible tsunami or flood, it would be completely reasonable.

And the Ark...

That's the Joker's base camp, so of course Morganse, who is both the head of intelligence and transportation, has a nest there.

He also suggested to the Joker that they collect rent from the fish-people living up there.

After all, this is the ship of Lord Clown. It is not a big deal if a bunch of fishmen live on it and create profits for Lord Clown!

The Joker dealt with it by saying that Vander Decken had already paid for it.

Ark Tractor is also a murloc.

It is reasonable that the ark was used to deal with the flood.

It’s just that the ark carries mermen and mermaids to deal with the flood, which is somewhat magical.

It's a bit like... the feeling of a knight carrying a horse on his shoulders to participate in a horse race.

As for the elephant master, he had only heard about him.

Even so, Morgans felt that it was highly credible.

However, Alabasta doesn't seem to have any special performance, as their country has been established for thousands of years.

If a great reporter has questions, he will naturally not let go of the person in front of him who can be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the world.

He shared his doubts with Lao Bei.

“This brings me to another guess of mine.”

Since so much had been said, Vegapunk didn't mind saying a little more, as he became more talkative.

These speculations and studies were absolute taboos during the World Government era, and Old Bei couldn't even synchronize his several clones.

If he were an ordinary person, Lao Bei would have shut his mouth long ago.

The world government has not yet fallen.

Knowing it would be a heinous crime.

But compared to the Joker's crimes, it's nothing.

So he could tell this to the clown gang without any pressure.

"Of course, it's just a guess."

He used his long tongue to feel the wall of the cup and found the temperature was just right.

First of all, I would like to make a statement without any responsibility.

The world is about to experience a great flood, which is the conclusion Vegapunk has drawn from his historical research, but what he is going to say now is only his guess based on his years of observation in the World Government.

Then he took a sip, completely ignoring the scratching face of the big news.

As an intelligence chief who was a journalist, he instinctively wanted to dig deeper into the incident, and he couldn't stand being told only half of what was said.

It's like holding a knife to this big head's neck!

The birdman rarely showed any fierce look, but he still pretended to be listening attentively and held his head high.

As a journalist by profession, he knows very well how to guide the target to speak.

Vegapunk didn't keep him hanging for too long. After putting down his coffee, he found a comfortable spot to sit down and talked.

"Not only Alabasta, but also the twenty countries that originally established the World Government, none of them are prepared to deal with a major flood."

His face became much more serious and he bit his tongue several times.

“The reasons are varied.”

"First of all, except for the Nefertari family in Alabasta, the royal families of other kingdoms have moved directly to Marijoa. On the red earth continent ten thousand meters high, there is no need to worry too much about tsunamis."

“Only countries associated with the legend of Joy Poi would have preparedness measures to deal with tsunami flooding.”

This brings up a question that has troubled the world for a long time.

Why is the Nefertari family unwilling to migrate to the Holy Land?
Before, it could be seen as a reluctance to leave her homeland, but if Nefertari knew that there would be a great flood and yet did not migrate, it would be a bit puzzling.

"I don't know much about the Nefertari family. My guess is mainly about the Celestial Dragons."

"To be precise, it's about their national treasure and Yim."

"These are some of my guesses based on the Five Elders' casual use of the Holy Mother Flame."

"They are not unfamiliar with this technology."

Lao Bei raised his head again and looked at the Fusion Furnace and the Holy Mother Flame. These were not his inventions, but replicas based on ancient research.

“Plus what the Joker told me before, about Im.

I guess, in addition to Im's own abilities, he may also have mastered an ancient weapon that can cause tsunamis or earthquakes!

It’s hard to say whether he is a superstar or not.”

"Tsunami...earthquake..."

Morgans' eyes became vague, his expression became worse and worse, and his fear was evident in his words.

He thought of the Valley of the Gods.

As an eyewitness, he knew very well what the ending of the Valley of the Gods would be.

A huge earthquake split the Valley of the Gods into several parts, and the sudden surge of sea water completely submerged the island.

Eventually, the island disappeared without a trace and could no longer be found on any map.

How familiar is that great kingdom!
"Won't we be flooded at any moment?!"

Morgon suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet had become very unsafe.

Think about what they did here?
Satan, one of the Five Elder Stars, was launched into outer space in public.

Well, for an ordinary person it might be something full of honor.

But not Sartan.

He was forcibly tied to it and took a ride in outer space in the form of a ghost spider.

It can be said to be extremely conspicuous.

Full of hatred.

Now Lao Bei guessed that the leader of the Five Elder Stars, Im, had weapons that could trigger tsunamis and earthquakes, so how could Morgans not be afraid.

He was a witness to the Valley of God incident.

"Don't worry." Old Bei said calmly, "The weapons you want to use can't be without cost. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which can destroy the world, will also have the side effect of shocking the body of the ability user."

He jumped down from the chair again and took two steps with his hands behind his back.

"As long as we don't provoke Im, he won't be personally involved in matters concerning the Five Elders."

Didn't it cause trouble?

Morgans remembered the various short articles about Eim published by the news agency, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The short essay is secondary.

He also thought of the information he had just received today.

He asked in a trembling voice: "If we sink Pangu City, will that be considered as angering Yimu?"

You shouldn't be that stingy, right?
