One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 276 A New Game
"How can I play this card to make it fun?"

In the Ark, Bucky leaned against the thick guardrail, raised his head again, and thought in a very unoriginal way.

Sea kings... This card was originally in his hand along with Shirahoshi, but after Wufeng ran away once, some new changes occurred.

Originally, it was just the order of the king, Shirahoshi, and had little to do with Buggy, but now...

He found the intersection of interests, which would enable him to unleash greater power on the sea kings.

What Bucky is thinking about now is, where should this card be used?

Calling on them to rush directly to Marijoa, hoping that the collapsed red soil continent would have enough slope for these sea kings to climb up?
This idea is very straightforward. Bucky has to wait until he sees what the Red Earth Continent looks like before making a decision.

The Ark was now heading towards the Red Earth Continent.

They would need to replenish supplies when they arrived at the Chapel Hills, and Buggy also wanted to visit old man Rayleigh again.

If it hasn't flooded yet.

A little further away, Shirahoshi, who had returned to the Ark, seemed to have finally returned to his safe house after an adventure in the jungle. He was studying how to make desserts with Kimi and others in the cafe.

Many ingredients from land have brought many innovations to their desserts.

Bucky would try it sometimes.

However, the image of him sitting in a cafe and eating dessert easily reminded the mermaids of the day they first saw the clown.

He also sat quietly at the table and savored the dessert. After he finished eating, Fishman Island began to become a river of blood.

Now even Fishman Island is gone.

"Master Clown...!"

Cami came over with a rose-red cake and wanted Bucky to have a taste of it again.

Maybe some kind of fruit was added?
It's not too sweet and has a nice creamy texture.

Eating something sweet helps him think.

Bucky asked for two more bucks, but it was impossible to pay because the whole boat belonged to him.

The sunlight was glaring at this moment, and the Ark was floating above the clouds with little shelter. It should have been very hot.

However, after Vegapunk arrived, he immediately installed air conditioning throughout the ship, so that even on the deck one could feel a cool breeze.

Not only that, in order to take care of his legs, the great scientist also installed shuttle tubes throughout the ship for quick internal travel.

After Bucky had enough time in the Mermaid Cafe, he left through the pipe.

When there are more people around, even with his personality, many things are bound to happen.

For example, Caesar needs to be urged on from time to time.

Vegapunk fished out a lot of good stuff from the ruins of the Calm Belt City, you can go and have a look.

Jinbe teaches Fish-Man Karate to a group of humans and Fish-Man at the former location of Fish-Man Street.

There are not many humans on the Ark, mainly the navy that Buggy instigated to rebel in Egghead, and Wang Zhi's men.

It is quite interesting to see the navy, pirates, and fishmen listening to the lectures of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea together.

The Joker has never been very concerned about these things, but as long as he is there, there are basically no troublemakers in this gang.

The last pirate leader was caught by the clown with a bamboo pole and thrown into the sea of ​​clouds to fish for clouds.

Very harmonious, yet very boring.

The Joker would love to see a few rebels who would plot to overthrow his evil rule, or collude with the navy to give him some unexpected surprises.

But everyone in the gang already has a certain degree of understanding of the Joker's nature, and as long as they don't cause trouble, the Joker has little interest in them.

For the safety of the Ark, these signs were suppressed in advance.

The means of passage in the shuttle pipe is a tough bubble like the one in the Sabaody Archipelago. Vegapunk completed the replica a long time ago and added a nozzle at the back.

It is indeed much more convenient.

It only took Bucky five or six minutes to get from the Mermaid Cafe at the bow to Caesar's poison gas factory at the stern.

I don’t know if it’s because Lao Bei knows his former colleague too well, but this shuttle passage was built all the way inside the factory, into Caesar’s laboratory.

So when Bucky came out of the pipe, he saw a small pool made of swimming rings among a pile of bottles and cans.

Caesar was embracing two mermaids and having a great time.

The sound of laughter could be heard from far away.

But he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and before he could react, the clown grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Clown...Clown!"

"I'm not being lazy!"

Caesar said in his board shorts.

“Do you know Sky Island?” Buggy’s expression was a little playful, as if he had finally mustered up a little bit of energy.

"I know... I know."

"There is a sea of ​​clouds on Sky Island, called the White Sea. Its specialty is very large shrimps and crabs. Which one do you think is best for you to fish?"

goodong...

Caesar's face turned pale. Although the clown spoke gently, he rarely broke his promise to do something.

Usually the clown is busy teasing the navy and the celestial dragons, and rarely comes to him!
"Wait, wait!" Caesar struggled with his hands for a few times, "I have results!"

"I made a new poisonous gas!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Bucky put Caesar down with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take me to see it." Buggy said to Caesar first, then turned around and called the two mermaid ladies who were about to leave tactfully.

"Call Morgans over here too, we need to think of a new game together."

They are a gang.

For the rest of the afternoon, Bucky tried out the new weapons developed by Caesar and chatted with Birdman, who always liked big news.

The Ark arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago just after sunset.

When looking down from the sky, the dense mangrove canopy is connected into one, as if it is really a lush island.

But when the ark sank a little and was lower than the crown of the mangroves, we could see many scattered houses pieced together with the branches of the mangroves.

The tree roots that were originally visible have been completely submerged, with only the trunks protruding from the sea, not to mention the land.

However, the natural bubbles formed by the expansion of the resin still floated up as usual, were captured by the residents at the tree trunk, and then pieced together.

They used bubbles as passages between the mangroves.

“The effect is already there.”

Morgans stood at the side of the ship and first noticed that there were many ships docked between the tree trunks. They were neither the pirate flag nor the flag of the World Government.

But a group of survivors looking for hope.

When they saw the Ark appear, their emotions seemed to fluctuate greatly and they gathered at the side of the ship, looking up.

"With the tsunami and the doomsday prophecy, if we don't want to fall into the hell of human evil, we must come out and look for hope."

“The resources here are also very limited.”

As a reporter for many years, Birdman has seen a lot from the conditions of these people.

"The tsunami was too much of a blow to the world government."

"So big that they actually... hehe, didn't even stop us so close to the Marine Headquarters."

“It’s a bit... boring.” Bucky had a look of disgust on his face. He glanced around again, and when he saw someone, his eyes brightened up again.

His body whooshed and he appeared on the thick branch of a mangrove. Half of the number on the mangrove was covered by water, but he could still identify it as No. 69.

"Brigadier General Brownie... no, it's Lieutenant General. What a surprise."

An old acquaintance.

Brownie's eyes twitched when he saw the clown's enthusiastic greeting. "Are you going to show up in front of a navy like me?"

"Sounds like you're planning on arresting me, huh?"

"..."

Brownie's courage was raised again and again, but he finally let it go.

"I won't pretend I didn't see it!"

Wait until the clown leaves, then report to the headquarters.

Despite what he said, Brownie still tightly grasped the sword at his waist and rolled up his trouser legs. He was just busy with the construction of the new naval base.

Polite words aside, Brownie's tone became less aggressive when he saw that the clown had no intention of attacking directly.

"There is nothing here worth your attention."

"What else are you doing here?"

The Sabaody Archipelago is very close to the Navy Headquarters and naturally not far from the Red Earth Continent. It can be said that it is one of the islands most affected by the tsunami.

"See an old friend, replenish supplies, and talk about our new games. Really, it's suitable for all ages. No matter male or female, young or old, I can't refuse it."

Bucky counted on his fingers and said, "Oh yeah, let me ask you one more question. Are you interested in joining our gang?"

"How about we stay at Marijoa?"

Bucky's voice was not loud, but he appeared so loud and obvious that it was hard not to attract attention.

Soon, another person on the red tree shouted, "I'd like to join in!"

"Please let us join you, Master Clown!"

……

“Listen.” Bucky picked his ears. “Our gang is not just starting out anymore. He’s very popular now.”

Brownie still had a stern face. He felt that the navy was more suitable for him than the clown's chaotic gang.

But his tone was not so tough, "You don't need me."

He just took a quick look and saw that there were a lot of people shouting, not just pirates, but also some poor people, refugees, and even former navy men.

The Chambord Islands are the place where the Joker's influence is the deepest.

With the cheers of a group of people, the Joker's understated goal seemed very feasible.

Stay at Marijoa...

Brownie could imagine how crazy the survivors of the tsunami would go when faced with this "safe" temptation.

But this is just an appetizer for the clown.

"Listen, guys!"

Buggy didn't ask Brownie too much, but turned to face the people on the Chambord Islands.

"I believe that everyone who knows me a little bit should know that my greatest pleasure is to pull the person off the throne."

"As for who will be the next person to sit on the throne, well, I don't really care."

More and more boats were approaching the tree trunks of Shampoo. They were people who were moved by the Joker's previous live broadcast and came here to find hope or ambition.

Resources. The tsunami swept away too many resources. If they come out to fight, they will really have to face the hell of human nature.

It was the evil that broke out from extreme hunger and poverty.

"Quick, set up the Den Den Mushi broadcast. We need to let people on the other side of the continent see this news."

Morgans' face was full of excitement. The Red Earth Continent completely blocked the Paradise Section and the New World, but the existence of Den Den Mushi allowed them to cross such a distance.

He could already imagine what kind of uproar the Joker's next words would cause.

Just like earlier, when he heard it.

"But the throne is right there, how to distribute it is a difficult question."

He put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be thinking hard.

The fact that Im was sitting on the Void Throne had long been known to everyone due to his and Morgans's unremitting publicity.

When he mentioned this position.

Just looking at the group of people in front of him, there were tens of thousands of eyes that turned red.

Combined with the clown's previous words, they all felt a little lucky...

Impossible?!
If it's true...

Compared to the location he mentioned, the great secret treasure is nothing!

Didn't he die under the execution of the World Government even though he became the Pirate King?

Can you, as the Pirate King, be like the Celestial Dragons and trample on whomever you want?
When they were not Celestial Dragons, they cursed secretly, but when they had the chance to become Celestial Dragons, they ran faster than anyone else!

Even if you can sit in that position for one day before the end of the world, people will fight for it!
Heartbeat...Beside the trunk of the mangrove, the greedy heartbeat faintly drowned out the sound of the sea water.

Morgans was right when he said that they are all people looking for hope.

The hope they could see now seemed to have reached its peak...

One step to heaven.

The World Government and the Celestial Dragons have spent eight hundred years suppressing all human thought, and now all they need to do is play the Navy Pirate game.

The Joker used several live broadcasts to not only tear off the disguise of the World Government, but also gave them the greatest hope.

He must be the savior!

"How about this, let's play a game!"

A certain savior opened his hands, grinning.

"A game that everyone can participate in, with no rules, no restrictions, no special features, and only one content."

He held out a finger.

"The first person to sit on the Void Throne will become the king of the world."

"I promise."

……

The Joker's Voice

"Will anyone really be willing to do that?"

The nine-tailed fox opened its mouth, its expression becoming even more complicated.

She didn't believe that anyone could refuse the position of king of the world.

This is a rare good thing that Yim does.

His existence as the king of the world made ambitious people all over the world excited.

He can take his place!
If Blackbeard said something like this, the Nine-Tailed Fox would definitely think that Old Black was just recruiting cannon fodder.

But this is the Joker...

What the Joker said, he would really think about it.

Looking at the laughing figure, the nine-tailed fox couldn't help but feel excited. Would he and others have a chance to sit in that position?
"They are all crazy, all crazy!"

Brownie gritted his teeth and felt fear in front of the red eyes.

This is just complete nonsense...

He turned around and walked in a direction further away from the clown.

He didn't want to participate in any game of thrones, he just wanted to build his naval base more solid and spacious so that he could shelter some people when the flood came.

His justice is insignificant.
