One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 262 Since war is inevitable, we must decisively seize the initiative!

"Who ordered the bombardment?"

When Aokiji noticed the unusual movement of the warship, flames had already appeared inside the fleet. In the rainy night, only the lights on the warships still showed some presence.

His usually calm eyes showed a rare hint of panic.

"We all underestimated the situation!"

He, the chief of staff, was also on the main ship at this time. After Sengoku retired, He became the think tank of the navy.

The Navy's eyes have always been on the Joker, the auction, and the Celestial Dragons. All they care about is their face.

But he ignored the situation at hand.

Quietly, the navy and pirates gathered in this sea area. Two naturally opposing forces... gathered in this small sea area.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect both sides to exercise restraint and remain calm.

But once a conflict breaks out.
There was a hint of sharpness in He's eyes. If a conflict really happened, the navy would have to strike first.

"Let's proceed according to the plan first. I'll take care of these." Aokiji made the decision faster than most of the navy received the news.

Before the nearby warships where the explosion occurred had time to riot, Aokiji had already landed where the flames of the explosion were rising.

"Frozen Moment."

The biting cold instantly covered the spewing flames, and even the surging sea surface was frozen into ice.

The officer on the nearby warship, whose originally panicked and nervous look, suddenly calmed down.

They almost thought it was an attack by pirates and were preparing to fight back.

After all, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If they don't respond quickly, they might sink into the sea in the next moment.

"Master Marshal!"

"What was the cause of the explosion?"

"Uh...we don't know either. We didn't see any shells."

The person in charge of the warship was only a major general, who lacked observation Haki and did not notice the source of the attack.

Needless to say, this must be the Joker's plan.

Aokiji waved his hand and didn't ask any further questions.

At this point, Aokiji could tell what the clown was going to do just by thinking with his knees.

This guy is going to start a war between the navy and the two imperial groups, just to see a high-intensity war break out with just a few words from him!
But the question is...can it be stopped?
Aokiji turned his head and saw that the pirate fleet was a dark mass with only a few ship lights lit up sporadically, like a few sequins dotted on a black curtain.

Expect this group to remain calm and restrained?

It would be better to hope that the Holy Society of Vochuli cares about the lives of the navy soldiers.

Can it be stopped before both parties come together?

Aokiji's face just darkened and he shook his head secretly.

As long as the navy obeys the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, this matter cannot be stopped.

Not to mention the pirates, they are just a group of rabble, and as long as the clown instigates them, these guys will swarm over like flies.

If the clown is not killed in Marijoa, the current situation is doomed to be unchangeable.

Aokiji calmed down and said, "First, treat the wounded, then turn on all the lights on the ship and illuminate the sea."

At least for now we need to reduce the intensity of the situation and not let it get out of control.

If it really gets out of control
Aokiji and Tsuru are on the same side.

The lights on the navy ships suddenly lit up, and they seemed to be a generation apart from the simple kerosene lights on the pirate ships.

It is not only self-defense, but also a warning.

A warning to all pirate fleets.

"Fortunately, the red-haired guy doesn't want to cause any trouble."

Aokiji looked from afar and saw that the Red Hair Pirates used similar methods to suppress the somewhat agitated pirates.

Otherwise, given the temperament of these pirates, they would definitely help the navy as soon as they saw them in trouble.

The naval fleet is huge, but I am alone in this.

Group responsibility means no responsibility.

As long as you're not the first one to show up, it's fine.

"But where is the Joker?"

The fact that he didn't see the clown on the live broadcast made Aokiji feel even heavier.

I always feel that this guy is hiding in some corner, harboring a lot of evil intentions, and is ready to do something big to the navy.

He didn't even pay attention to the live auction.

……

"There are still a few smart people in the Navy."

On the flying squirrel's warship, Duolu touched her chin as she walked, as if she had touched a crack or just tapped it.

The figure and appearance of this short-haired beauty lieutenant general changed in the blink of an eye.

Katrin Diemey was still a little reluctant about the lieutenant general's beautiful skin, and held her hand on his cheek.

"Unfortunately, they can't change anything."

The flying squirrels were not surprised by this situation.

It can even be said that he was involved in transforming a pirate into the appearance of a vice admiral.

After the Marijoa incident, when the Flying Squirrel slowly returned to the G1 branch, he saw this criminal who had been imprisoned on the sixth floor of the Undersea Prison, who was waiting for him at the port with his mute girl.

He thought the clown would keep threatening him with his adopted daughter.
I didn't expect it to be returned so easily.

The nine-tailed fox found a seat for himself in the captain's room and sat down.

She has the ability to become anyone else, no matter the height, body shape or clothing, she can become exactly the same.

"Where are the navy on your ship?"

"Of course I killed them all." Katrin Diemey sat carelessly, and rummaged through the flying squirrel's cabinet, which contained more than ten glass bottles. "Why, you don't want to part with them?"

"Do you still think that after completing this mission, you can return to your former image as the dignified G1 base commander?"

"You navy traitor."

The nine-tailed fox's words were full of provocation.

Not only was she a pirate, she had also been imprisoned on the sixth floor of the Grand Prison, so of course she was extremely disgusted with the navy.

The flying squirrel was not angered by her words, but wiped the snow-white blade with a cloth.

He said, “I can’t go back.”

The adopted daughter came back, but he could never go back.

The previous provocation against the Charlotte family is another matter. Just with regard to the Red Harbor incident, as long as the Navy conducts a thorough investigation, it would be easy to trace the connection between him, the flying squirrel, and the clown.

So there's no going back.

Even if the clown doesn't have any leverage over him, the flying squirrel will have no choice but to follow the clown until the end.

His eyes were sharp, and he seemed to not care about the sudden explosion in the nearby sea. "But if that's the case, I have a reason to take your head off."

"The Joker doesn't like his subordinates making decisions on their own."

The flying squirrel wasn't actually sure what the clown was thinking, but he was sure of one thing.

The time when he and the clown worked together was definitely earlier than the nine-tailed fox in front of him.

If you don’t understand it yourself, how much can this nine-tailed fox know?

Katrin Diemey became much more honest. "Tsk, it's just a joke."

"I just tried out what the boss gave them."

"That poison gas?" The flying squirrel's eyes narrowed, he sheathed his sword and walked to the porthole.

After the Joker and Vegapunk hooked up, they came up with a lot of good things.

However, the poison gas should have been originally possessed by the Joker.

"We are responsible for adding firewood." Catherine Diemey said with a smile.

The self-awareness is very clear.

In the rainy night, a lamp is moving quickly.

If I remember correctly, the Joker called that thing "Laughter Gas", and he used it when he faced Akainu on Red Island. Now the Nine-Tailed Fox is using it on the soldiers on the warship.
Amid the sound of falling rain, a loud rumbling sound was heard.

A warship broke away from the fleet formation and rushed towards the pirate fleet with a fearless momentum.

"kill!"

"Pirates are all scum!"

"Kill them all, hahahaha!"

The eyes of the soldiers on the warship were filled with indelible enthusiasm, their chests puffed like bellows, and they couldn't even suppress their own smiles. The oncoming storm seemed to be trampled under the warship, and they seemed to be sacrificing their lives in the midst of ups and downs.

From the soldiers' perspective, this seems to be the case.

"The Navy has taken action!"

There was a hissing sound of steam coming from the Beasts Pirates' ship.

Kaido stood on top of the figurehead, his body swaying with the huge waves, his eyes full of sharpness and ruthlessness.

He is different from the red-haired guy who was watching the show.

From the very beginning, he was clear that he was here to cause trouble!
Only war can determine the value of human beings!
"Worororo!! Fight back, little ones!!"

Kaido's call not only inspires his own men, but also all the pirates.

Those gathered here are not an organization like the navy, but lawless pirates!

"fight back!"

"The opportunity for revenge has come!"

The pirates were excited. Kaido, the strongest creature, was also very prestigious among the pirates. With this big guy leading the charge...

"Rob the warships, rob the guns, and it would be even better if we could rob a pacifist!"

This is a pack of greedy hounds.

The navy's ostentatious display of armaments not only served as a deterrent, but also made these pirates salivate.

"At worst, I can just grab a lamp!"

A huge fire broke out on the warship that rushed into the pirate fleet. The soldiers were fearless and died together with the pirates amidst laughter.

For all the naval soldiers, this was like a can of chicken blood produced by a no-name factory that was forced upon them.

"Colonel Crane?!"

"Let's do it!" He made a prompt decision, and his hunched body suddenly burst out with powerful strength.

Since war is inevitable, we must seize the initiative decisively!

I should have thought of it earlier. How could Kaido just come and watch the show quietly? I'm afraid the Joker's intention is to start a war!
When Aokiji was away, Tsuru was the undisputed commander-in-chief of the navy, and the three admirals all nodded.

The agent at the side coughed lightly, reminding them not to neglect their original mission.

"I'll go, old man."

This time, Kizaru did not shirk responsibility and took the initiative to speak.

He was originally responsible for landing on the island.

"I suggest that we use the Pacifists and Seraphim directly to intimidate those villains first."

Before Egghead was lost, Kizaru happened to lead a group of pacifists and Seraphim to encircle Zephyr, and now they are the only remaining weapons of war of the navy.

"can."

"agree."

"Then just hit me!"

Aokiji returned to the main ship and made the final decision.

The time they made the decision was almost the same as the time Kaido made the instigation. The two fleets, which had originally maintained a certain tacit understanding, attacked each other at the same time.

The pirates' formation was disorganized. After they turned their ships around in a hurry, it gradually became a "品" shape.

Let a few young and inexperienced people rush to the front.

In comparison, the navy was much calmer, their formations were staggered, and the black gun muzzles shifted direction.

At the same time, several warships landed on the Peach Island.

They took the initiative to open up two battlefields.

Crane stood on the main ship's deck, staring closely at the distance of the pirate fleet through a telescope.

The pirate ship has entered the warship's firing range, but Crane is not in a hurry.

Although this war was not initiated by the navy, since it has started, the first round of attack must be severe enough.

Let this mob see who is the most powerful force in this area!

More ships came within range of the warships.

"Granny Tsuru, all the pacifists are here." A female lieutenant general came over holding a Den Den Mushi.

"almost."

Crane said coldly as he looked at the pirate fleet that was rushing towards the navy in a V-shape.

The naval fleet at this time was completely commanded by Crane.

Unlike Sengoku, Marshal Aokiji has already stood on the front line.

He, Momousagi and Fujitora will be responsible for the second round of attack.

If you want to hit someone, hit them hard!
"Launch the first round of attack!"

At He's command, the roar of cannons once again stopped the rain and fog, and the thick smell of gunpowder filled the entire sea.

"Fight back, fight back!"

The pirates dragged wheeled artillery and fired back at the warship, but the obviously inferior artillery could not even touch the edge of the warship.

What made them even more desperate was that on the side of the warship, there were figures like little giants standing.

There are not many pacifists.

call out--

The light beam instantly penetrated the pirate ships that survived the salvo. Rows of ship wreckage looked like corpses that had fallen under the high walls during a siege and were used as stepping stones by later comers.

The protruding part of the pirate fleet's shape was completely destroyed.

The following fleet immediately spread out in all directions like flowers blooming.

This result is not surprising when a mob faces a regular army.

And this is the deterrent that Crane wants.

“This scene is really great.”

As shells flew and waves surged, the clown had already bypassed the docked warships and blended into the navy's fleet.

As soon as he saw that it was Kizaru who came ashore, he felt at ease and handed over the auction to the Straw Hat Pirates.

He took Hancock and Swan with him and went out to sea.

Bucky's small boat was swaying under the waves caused by the surrounding large ships. Sea water kept rolling in and mixed with rain water. The water on the boat was almost as high as a palm.

But it showed no sign of sinking. Instead, it moved back and forth like a nimble swordfish between warships that were often five or six stories high.

Jinbei poked his head under the water.

The advantages of having strength ten times stronger than that of humans have been fully demonstrated in certain industries.

“It should be this one.”

This is not the navy's most central flagship, but it is the only one that is guarded by city guards and has no artillery installed. Instead, it is equipped with all kinds of luxurious decorations.

He finds it hard to admit his mistakes.

The Celestial Dragons can never let go of their ostentation wherever they go.

Bucky remembered that Satan's ship was similar to this one, and it even had luxurious rooms.

The three men and the fish quietly climbed up and knocked down every soldier they saw.

A perfect lurking!

Bucky snapped his fingers.

Then he walked up to the obviously out-of-place ornate door on the ship's upper deck and knocked.

"Tap, tap, open the door, and send warmth."
