One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 38 This is not home!
Shadow's taijutsu seems to be on par with Moria's.

But there is still some gap in that big pair of scissors.

The large scissors specially made for cutting out silhouettes are the nemesis of shadows.

Even Moriah's own shadow.

"Hehehe." A snicker finally showed on his bat-like face.

It was so scary just now.

It’s okay for Moria to lose to the pacifist, since that thing used Kizaru’s laser after all, but to be defeated by his own shadow, what does that count?
As a former Shichibukai, does he have any shame?

The large pair of scissors with cold light cut the scissors formed by the shadow into two halves with a click.

Shadow didn't seem surprised by the change.

He is a part of Moria, so naturally he expected such an outcome.

“Hehehehe——”

Shadow's smile had not diminished at all, and that iconic laugh always sounded very harsh to Moria's ears now.

He had a very ominous premonition.

The shadow stood calmly.

Then he raised his hand and punched himself.

Damn!

Moria's eyes suddenly opened wide.

This time it is a true shadow revolution.

A move that Moria developed himself and is very proud of.

The shadow is connected to the entity, so if the entity changes, the shadow will also change.

On the contrary, if the shadow changes, theoretically the entity will also change.

He once used a move to control the demon Oz and make his arms and legs stretch out.

Now it's his turn.

The shadow punched himself hard, and the changes also occurred in the entity Moria.

Moria groaned, feeling a stinging pain on his cheek.

He really knows best how to hit himself more painfully!
But shadows don't feel pain.

"Why would he listen to you?"

Moria hung his head. This was the thing he couldn't understand the most.

Even if it is a split shadow, it is still your own shadow.

Why are the elbows turned outward?
"listen?"

"No, no, no, we are just a partnership."

Bucky gently closed the coffin lid. It was the first time he slept in such a place.

But it must be said that the excellent sound insulation of the coffin also improved his sleep quality a lot.

"The one who really has a problem with you is you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow slapped himself twice.

There were two snapping sounds.

Moria's pale skin turned red.

But he still managed to raise his head and looked at his own shadow in confusion.

Dissatisfaction with yourself?

Is he dissatisfied with himself?
The shadow was as big as Moria, and his grinning mouth seemed to be mocking.

Then he slapped himself twice in the face.

"Because we live, we lose."

"I must be right on this point!"

Moria still raised his head stubbornly and looked straight at his own shadow.

"Hogbak and the others will definitely create a zombie army that can dominate the world!"

He didn't say a word about what he was going to do.

Shadow slapped himself twice again.

Moria's cheeks were as rosy as if they had just been taken out of the pot.

It hurt so much that tears came out.

"I am right!"

How could he, Master Moria, a former Shichibukai, make a mistake? !
"."

"."

"I was wrong."

Moriah, with bruises all over his face, lowered his head in front of Buggy.

After a struggle with Shadow, he accepted his fate.

Moria used to scoff at the theory that fruits have mutual restraint, but now he believes it.

The Split Fruit is the biggest nemesis of his Shadow Fruit!

A feeling of sadness arose in his heart, wondering why Liang was born if Yu was born.

How could there be a creature in this world that could actively attack people with special abilities?
Fortunately, I was just admitting defeat to my own shadow.

no big deal.

He consoled himself with these words in order to save a little face as a great pirate.

“Wrong?” Bucky turned his head. His sight had just been on the thick fog in the sky.

The dark shadow in the thick fog seemed to be getting closer and closer.

It was amazed at what had happened to Moriah, at his pain and fear.

Even want to take a bite.

It's just out of instinctive caution that I always keep a certain distance.

It's not enough to say that pain and fear are present.

"Who said you were wrong?"

The confusion in his words didn't seem fake.

"Don't you mean you're unhappy with me?"

Moria automatically regarded the object of dissatisfaction as the slightly funny clown in front of him.

Although I don't know why the other party treats me like this
"No no no."

"The shadow is your own embodiment, a collection of your fears and yearnings."

"The one you have to defeat is yourself."

Bucky waved his hand and pointed at a shadow that had climbed to the top of the castle at some point.

Shadow opened his arms at the top of the tower, ready to free fall.

goo-dong-

Moria's already pale complexion had turned pale with fear, and his lips were trembling.

He finally discovered it.

The shadow wants Moria to fight against it constantly.

As soon as you stop or "bully" it with scissors, the shadow will start self-harm mode.

"No, you can't jump!"

Moriah's voice trembled.

Shadow turned his head, but the corners of his mouth, which were grinning from ear to ear, remained unchanged.

It leaped.

Bang.

Smash the ground like a shallot, making a big hole in the ground.

“Hey——”

Moria, who did nothing, burst into tears in pain.

But before the pain could subside, a shadow was seen climbing out of the pit, and then heading towards the top of the castle without hesitation.

Moria's mind was a mess.

In order to alleviate the damage caused by the shadow's self-harm, he could only fight with the shadow.

But the fist that hit the shadow also had the same effect on himself.

This means that in order to prevent the shadow from hurting himself, he chose to hurt the shadow and himself at the same time.

Nima!

Why is it so complicated!

But the pain is real.

The body's wailing is also a real torture to the soul.

There is even a sense of torture in my heart, endless torture about the bad days I have been in for so many years.

It was a shame for a great pirate to be easily defeated by juniors one after another.

It is the self who was full of confidence at the execution platform in the past, the self who dared to fight head-on with the strongest creature, questioning himself now.

Moriah saw the clown's grinning face again, slowly overlapping with the shadow's grin.

Dr. Hogbag's greeting echoed over and over in his mind.

"Welcome home, my master."

"Welcome home--"

"No, this is not home, this is a nightmare!"

There were tears in Moria's eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, my fish finally took the bait."

Buggy was in no mood to pay attention to Moria's wailing.

He raised his eyes to the sky filled with dark shadows.

Pain and fear seemed to be the delicacy of this dark shadow.

It crept up on top of the terrifying dhow.

In the world of black shadows, on that cheerful pirate ship.

Buggy, who had once again hacked all his companions to death, also raised his head.

He has been staying here.

The deck lamp that fell onto the deck ignited a huge fire on Youlan.

But the slightly thin figure showed no fear in the fire, just raised his head.

Their gazes met through the shadow's body.

"For the 489th time, I caught you."
