One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 258 Is the World Government Going Crazy?

Bucky looked serious when he asked.

“Blow up the holy place and sink it?” Vegapunk’s eyes widened. “Theoretically… simultaneous explosions can accomplish this. After all, there is indeed a huge hole directly below Marijoa.”

"Once the balance is broken..."

He stared at the clown and didn't even look at the sandworm that had aroused Lao Bei's curiosity in the first place.

"This could trigger a catastrophe that would sweep the world!"

"There will be a huge earthquake on the red soil continent, a huge tsunami on the sea, and the sea level will rise again!"

"Countless people will die!"

The great scientist shuddered when he thought of this possibility.

"No, I can't do this..."

Buggy gave him a strange look at first, then reached out and touched Vegapunk's apple-shaped head.

As the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, Old Bei's brain has unlimited capacity, but his head will continue to grow larger.

In order to solve this problem, he separated the head, stored it in the core area of ​​the experimental layer, and used an antenna to receive radio waves.

The apple on his head is now a receiver.

Bucky suspected that this thing had a bad signal.

Otherwise, why would Lao Bei say such a thing.

"Isn't this the result you wanted to see?" He narrowed his eyes slightly. "The time bomb in Zefa's hand, the Holy Mother Flame and the fusion furnace, these are all your work."

"Now you're saying we can't do this?"

Bucky considered taking a more drastic approach.

"Let me explain."

Pythagoras waved his hand, and several of Lao Bei's clones were also on the Ark.

"This is our decision."

"It was difficult for the main body to accept such a thing, so it chose to block it... and acquiesce."

Pythagoras obviously had a lot to explain and brought over two cups of coffee.

The Ark was very large. Bucky, Hancock, and Pythagoras sat in a corner of the first deck at the stern.

Nami and Robin were on a higher deck.

Compared to the rotten smell when it just came out of Fishman Island, every part of the Ark has now been repaired by the fishmen.

Even the handrails on the corridor above the deck house are newly carved.

From here, Buggy could see from afar the female warriors of the Nine Snakes playing arm wrestling with the fishmen.

The fish people claim to have ten times the strength of humans, but these elite female warriors of the Nine Snakes cannot be treated like ordinary humans.

Both sides win and lose.

Further away, the Mermaid Cafe was also doing a booming business. The factory on Caesar's ship was roaring, and the fishmen were moving around between the decks.

The night sky is filled with stars, and the Milky Way seems to be hidden under the sea. The noisy human voices finally become sounds in front of you with a bit of mechanical feeling.

"The world is about to end."

Pythagoras' electronic screen displayed a serious picture, as if trying to see a bit of panic on the clown's face.

But unfortunately, the Joker acted very calmly.

Unable to express shocking thoughts at the moment, Pythagoras could only explain silently.

He predicted that a tsunami that would submerge the world would occur at some time in the next few years, and through studying the blank hundred years of history, he learned that the Celestial Dragons might know the truth.

The previous incident in Egghead also happened because of this.

Therefore, Vegapunk specially developed the Den Den Mushi and set up a program that would automatically broadcast this doomsday prophecy to the whole world when his heart stopped beating.

"This is Ontology's honesty to the world, and it also gives people around the world some time to prepare."

"And what is foreseeable is that..."

Pythagoras raised his hands and said, "People who believe in the prophecy of doomsday will start climbing up the red earth continent out of their instinct for survival."

"People on the islands will start migrating to the red earth mainland."

“But the World Government won’t accept it.” Buggy raised his lip, “Leaving behind a mess after my death… hehe.”

He did not make any comment on this.

"Yes." Pythagoras did not deny it.

"But after meeting you, Edison, Lilith and I all came up with a new idea. We want to do something more daring!"

"Since there will be a tsunami sooner or later, and we will have to migrate to the red soil continent sooner or later, why can't we be more proactive?"

"Ten thousand meters is too high, let him sink down."

"If the World Government doesn't want to, then let them destroy it."

"With the threat of tsunamis, people don't need to question whether the end of the world is real or not. They will migrate to the highest places on their own."

Does this guy really symbolize thought?
Why does it feel like it’s the same soul that has split off from me?

All so extreme.

Bucky took a look and looked odd.

"According to calculations..." Lilith rolled down from a higher deck. There were multiple decks stacked at the stern of the Ark to form a tower.

"This... approach can save at least a million lives compared to the main body simply informing them."

"The mere fact of reaching the Red Earth Continent is enough to stop countless people."

They finished explaining.

Bucky didn't really listen. The only thing he was sure of was one thing.

The combination of the Holy Mother's Flame and underwater bombs can indeed sink Marijoa.

This is enough.

As for the value and meaning of saving people or not, the clown naturally has nothing to do with it.

He was just looking forward to the scene of the Virgin Mary's flames hitting Im's head.

"It's so cruel...it's so satisfying."

The holy land will be blown up and the auction will be held.

Bucky even wanted to do both at the same time.

As an opening or closing ceremony of the auction?

Such a performance is sure to cause people to cheer.

"The auction items are all ready."

Although the three celestial dragons had lost a lot of weight, they were still alive.

"The auction venue and time have also been chosen."

When he was in Dressrosa, he said the time was half a month. Five days have passed now, so there are about nine days left.

Well... he may not be punctual. Anyway, only the Straw Hat Pirates know the time now.

I don’t know if they can make it back in time. It would be a lot less fun without them.

“There is also a host…”

"What do you need me to do?"

Hancock rested his chin on his hand and smiled.

The empress who doesn't need to wear a mask has to be extra provocative.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago what you are going to do? Just do whatever you like."

Bucky touched his nose, some garbage was bubbling up in his mind, but he had more important things to do and didn't pay too much attention to it.

"It's about time I gave them a preview... Hehehe, I hope it won't scare them."

Bucky called Morgans over.

News is a wonderful thing.

……

……

Chambord Islands.

Lieutenant General Brownie walked into Base 69 as usual. The morning sun was like a golden veil, bright but not hot.

Since Brownie was sent to the Sabaody Archipelago as a base commander for letting the Joker go, his promotion path has been smooth. At the end of the war, this brigadier general with a stain on his head stood out among a group of short men and was promoted to major general.

Then came the Battle of the Misty Sea, the Akainu incident, the Prudence Kingdom incident, and the Battle of Egghead.

Every time a major incident occurs, Brownie, who once confronted the Joker head-on and forced him to retreat, will receive a question or two from the top management.

He was promoted to lieutenant general while reading newspapers and drinking tea in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Still free.

Now, except for areas 60-69 which are still the territories of the World Government and the Navy, the rest of the Sabaody Archipelago have become the Joker's areas.

Slave traders and nobles who came here would be hanged.

Bronny just needs to guard his base.

Today is a great day too.

Brownie came out of the base training ground and took a detour to a shallow area, where there was a mailbox near the river bank.

This is a newspaper published by the World Economic News Agency.

It is a recent new publication, delivered by newspaper fishmen. The news is timely and the predictions are accurate. Brownie subscribed to the newspaper for a year.

He tucked the newspaper under his arm and on his way back passed another mailbox, this one painted white and filled with publications from other news agencies delivered by traditional newspaper delivery birds.

Mainly about the world government and the navy.

Brownie stacked the two publications together, feeling as if he had the world in his hands.

"When can the news agency do more live broadcasts to tell the news? That way I don't have to go through all this trouble."

Brownie thought of the Joker's live broadcast, which initially required a special screen, but later only required a video phone to watch.

Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I last saw the Joker live.

Brownie actually felt a little nostalgic.

Every live broadcast of the Joker is extremely interesting.

As he approached his office building, he saw a group of soldiers pushing carts with boxes of supplies towards Honggang.

"With so many supplies and materials piled up, the holy land will probably be several meters higher, right?"

As the base commander, he still knew what these supplies were used for, but he just muttered a few words.

I returned to the office and slowly flipped through the newspaper.

"The rebellion in the Kingdom of Hosue has been quelled, and the new king has hanged hundreds of rebels... There have been so many this month, and he even issued a demon-killing order."

Brownie smacked his lips.

The more Demon-Slaying Orders were issued, the weaker their deterrent effect became.

Now I don't think it's anything special.

"The whereabouts of the pirate Blackbeard remain a mystery, and he is suspected to have reached a cooperation with the Joker..."

"Governor Kaido of the Beasts Pirates and Crocodile, president of Baroque Works, appeared in Dressrosa together and reached a cooperation with the current king of Dressrosa, Rob Lucci..."

"What has happened to a member country that was once a member state?"

Brownie made himself some hot tea and then turned over.

"The Navy has launched multiple rounds of conscription in multiple sea areas..."

"The movements of the revolutionary army remain a mystery, the original Baldigo reveals the secret..."

"The most beautiful woman in the world, the Pirate Queen or the Mermaid Princess..."

"The world's first... non-human auction is about to be held. The first round of auction items is... the Celestial Dragon... Frank Monis Saint..."

puff--

Brownie, who was originally in a leisurely posture, suddenly spat out tea and his eyes widened.

What did you just see?
Auction items?

Celestial Dragons?
Am I dazzled? Didn’t the news say that this was an auction held specifically for the Celestial Dragons?

He put down the other newspapers and pulled out that page alone.

Published by World Economic News.

Not only is there the signature of the auction venue's initiator, but there is also a photo.

Not the slightest bit of surprise, still a clown.

The photo shows a Tianlong man wearing a white robe with gold edges crying in front of the clown Xiaodao.

Then this matter is basically certain.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Brownie quickly thought of another question.

He already knew that the Joker was going crazy.

The question is, will the world government go crazy if the Joker does this?

You will go crazy if you are not crazy.

On the afternoon of the day the news was published, reporters photographed rows of warships in Marinford, which were only slightly more powerful than the Battle of Marineford.

At the same time, a large number of troops gathered in the G1 branch.

It is obvious that the navy has already made preparations in both Paradise and the New World.

"This is big news!"

Arne flew through the clouds, and the camera on his chest captured countless precious pictures.

Three days after the auction news was published, the Joker began to reveal the location.

"Paradise section!"

"This guy actually dared to choose the location in Paradise, where the navy is strong. This is simply a naked provocation!"

During the meeting, Wang Brannew slammed the Economic News Agency newspaper onto the conference table.

"The Joker wants a showdown, so let's have it!"

On the fourth day, the Navy locked on to several possible locations and mobilized a large number of troops to blockade them.

The Chabaoti Archipelago is seen as the most likely one.

Base Captain Brownie's leisure life suddenly became tense.

At the same time, people from the CP organization are collecting information about the Joker's movements around the world.

Some agents sneaked into Egghead and saw only ruins and a huge eggshell.

Where is the Joker?
This issue has become the most pressing issue for the CP organization.

If not, it would be better to arrest the news agency. Without the audience, the clown’s interest will be greatly reduced, and he might not even hold the auction.

This method is good, but how can a news agency that has suffered a loss once be fooled again?

Their headquarters has now been hoisted up by a huge hot air balloon, made mobile, and fishmen are used to deliver newspapers.

The agents of the CP organization almost conquered the Grand Line but still failed to find their target.

On the fifth day, the Titan Vice Admirals appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the Joker Gang was wiped out and forced to flee.

……

On the sixth day, the God of Justice, Topman Vochuli, appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Joker announced that the auction will be held in three days, and invited the Four Emperors Kaido, Charlotte Linlin and Shanks to participate.

On the seventh day, someone photographed the Beasts Pirates appearing in the paradise section.

At the same time, countless pirates who originally stayed in the New World also appeared.

It's like a grand event.

There were no precious treasures or attractive interests involved, but the auction of the Celestial Dragons alone was enough to make all the rebels celebrate.

Until the eighth day.

"Any news about the Joker today?"

Somewhere in the Kamabakka Kingdom.

In the Revolutionary Army's newly built headquarters, Long asked the intelligence personnel impatiently.

"These few days are a great opportunity to plan operations in multiple countries while the Jokers are distracting the Navy."

The cadre who received the information did not respond and stayed in front of the Den Den Mushi for a long time until his companions pushed him a few times.

The cadre turned his head, his pupils constricted, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"The auction will be held in... the Kingdom of Kamabakka!"
