One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

The Straw Hat Pirates' navigator has officially boarded the ship, while a red-nosed figure is waiting in Loguetown, ready to become the future Pirate King.

After being defeated by Luffy, Buggy the Clown finally regained his body and teamed up with Alvida to give the young brat who had only recently set sail a big surprise.

Alvida has eaten the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and is no longer the fat, tanky woman she once was. She has become a stunning beauty. After being defeated as Luffy's first enemy on his journey to the sea, she, being a woman who holds grudges, immediately agreed to join the Clown Pirates.

"I'm going to kill that straw hat kid."

"I feel disgusted when I see that hat. How could someone pass on such an important hat to a brat?" Buggy didn't reveal that the hat was related to Shanks, and that the straw hat would belong to him if Luffy were killed.

Mochi, wearing a white animal skin and stuffing his mouth with meat, said, "Captain, your plan is perfect. Straw Hat Luffy will definitely not be able to escape."

Kabakki, riding a bicycle, was gulping down a barrel of liquor. He wanted to get revenge on Zoro's man, believing his swordsmanship was no worse than Zoro's. "I must defeat that green-haired man."

"Captain Buggy is also a Devil Fruit user. Do you think you'll ever ascend to the Sky Veil? I'm really looking forward to that day," Alvida casually remarked. She knew Buggy the Clown's capabilities; he was only good at bullying weaker pirate crews in the East Blue.

"Don't joke around, Alvida. The captain didn't win because of his Devil Fruit, but because of his clever mind," Mochi gave his answer.

Buggy the Clown's use of the Split-Split Fruit is far from satisfactory. After his body splits, his feet must remain on the ground, and the other parts can split to fight. However, he cannot control the split-split fruit beyond a certain range, which is a significant weakness. Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users still need to rely on external objects to fight.

"Mochi is right. Those who fight with Devil Fruits are all brutes. To defeat the enemy, you need a smart brain." Buggy the Clown had already come up with a plan in his mind. He would lure Straw Hat Luffy to the execution platform and personally execute Shanks' successor.

Lion Riki was eating a piece of meat in the corner. He had been spoiled by the Clown Pirates. After being defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, he spent all his time eating and drinking. His fighting spirit had become particularly decadent, and he had been reduced to a pet.

"My lords, raise your glasses, and then we shall meet our enemies."

"Long live the captain!"

"The captain is invincible!"

These drunken underlings kept praising Buggy the Clown, which made him feel proud. With such a group of loyal followers, his journey to find treasure would be much easier and smoother. After executing Luffy, he planned to leave the East Blue to find the treasure left by Captain John. This man had no interest in becoming the Pirate King.

Suddenly, it became noisy outside. Bucky the Joker sent one of his henchmen, who wasn't too drunk, out to check. Soon, the fat henchman stumbled back in, his face showing extreme shock. "Skyscape, that Skyscape image, Skyscape..."

Buggy the Clown, already irritated by the alcohol, glared at his stammering subordinate. He activated his Split-Split Fruit powers, sending one hand flying to grab the subordinate by the collar and pull him close. "You're so scared, tell me what you saw."

"Captain Bucky, there's something about you on the Sky Screen. You're listed there; your great image is prominently displayed."

Kabakki: "Huh?"

Mochi: "Huh?"

The entire Clown Pirates: "Huh?"

Alvida even spat out a mouthful of wine...

At the Marine branch stationed in Loguetown, Colonel Smoker was holding the latest wanted poster. A remarkable pirate had appeared in the East Blue, and his bounty was 30 million Berries on his first wanted poster appearance. "Are new pirates this outrageous these days? This straw hat is worth 30 million Berries?"

Tashigi stood aside and reported, "It was Colonel Rat who issued the arrest warrant. He was badly beaten by the Straw Hat crew and is currently recovering at the base."

"I will personally capture him when the time comes. A pirate with such potential should not be allowed to enter the Grand Line." Smoker picked up a cigar with his fingers, the butt of the cigarette touching the wanted poster, and the entire wanted poster burned in his hand.

Smoker, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, came to the East Blue to guard Loguetown. For small and medium-sized pirates, this was a devastating blow. No one here possessed Haki, so they couldn't harm him in the slightest. Any pirates who dared to cause trouble in Loguetown were sent to prison by him.

When Nami arrived at a clothing store in Loguetown, she could hear the shopkeeper praising Colonel Smoker. Before this monster arrived, pirates were rampant in Loguetown, and it was only after Smoker's arrival that the town's security was restored.

Matsuya Ippon, the owner of the weapon shop in Loguetown, poured out his grievances to Tashigi. Ever since that monster isolated Jin from the world, his business had plummeted and he had been extremely unlucky. In the past, many pirates patronized his business, but now fewer and fewer pirates were sailing out of the East Blue. It was all Captain Smoker's fault.

A naval soldier burst into Smoker's office, shouting, "Colonel Smoker, there's a picture on the screen! Go take a look! The person on the list is a pirate!"

Since the appearance of the Sky Curtain in the East China Sea, Navy Captain Smoker has tried various methods, first bombarding it with cannons, then attacking it with smoke, and finally even using Seastone, but he could not do anything to damage the Sky Curtain. This seriously threatened the Navy's rule, and this was the first time this man had suffered a setback.

At this time, Smoker was still quite arrogant, unlike in the later part of the comics, where although his promotion speed was like a rocket, he repeatedly suffered setbacks in terms of combat achievements, and he couldn't even be counted in combat units, becoming a pitiful marginal character.

As the first Logia-type Devil Fruit user to appear, he received a lot of attention in the early stages. Fans generally believe that because he appeared too early, he was unfairly treated by the One Piece manga author. Like Enel, who had the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his storyline couldn't continue. He was overshadowed by the deserter king in the Navy, and it was a real pity that he didn't receive the title of hero.

"Let's go see what the future holds, Tashigi!"

"Received from Colonel Smoker"

The two future partners walked out of the naval office and looked up at the sky that stretched from the sky into the sea. The naval soldier's report was correct; a pirate figure had appeared, and a pirate from the East Blue at that.

Looking at the standard red-nosed image on the sky, even if the other party turned into ashes, Smoker would still recognize him, so why is it Bucky the Joker?

That cowardly and greedy pirate actually became a powerful figure who could command the winds and waves at sea in the future. He began to suspect that the heavens were deliberately misleading everyone...

Chapter 4 The Last Emperor

After preparing for so many days, Li Wei finally finished writing a script that was so realistic that it was hard to tell the difference. As a fan of One Piece, he wanted to give Buggy the Clown some strength. Although the other party was a comedic character, comedic characters were the strongest in anime. Even the protagonist Luffy's Nika Fruit changed the whole style of the game as soon as it appeared, making it look like the familiar Tom and Jerry.

He had to do the reading of the script himself. The blonde girl next to him had scenes to perform later, and he couldn't let her voice appear on the backdrop. If someone noticed that the girl was connected to the backdrop, it would be a loss.

Are you sure you want to say it according to this script? If it airs like this, Bucky the Joker will probably spend his entire life in jail. Do you hate him that much?

"System, don't talk nonsense. It's precisely because I love this character that I put my heart and soul into creating this script. After today, Bucky the Joker's fame will spread throughout the world." Li Wei opened his arms and embraced the sea breeze. If it weren't for the Big Liar King System, any other system would have already believed him. Not a single word this man uttered was true.

[Bucky's image has been hanging in the sky for an hour. The warm-up is complete. It's your turn, host. Let me see the power of the Amusement Man.]

Inside a tavern in Rogge

The entire Clown Pirates crew had sobered up and surrounded Buggy the Clown. They never expected that their captain would become a powerful figure who would influence the course of the seas in the future. It was like a pie falling from the sky and landing on the heads of these lackeys.

"Captain, our Clown Pirates are about to become famous! We can recruit more crew members to search for the treasure you've been dreaming of," Mochi flattered from the side.

Alvida raised her glass towards Bucky the Clown. "What beauty doesn't love a strong man?" she thought to herself, admitting she'd misjudged him. "I really underestimated you, Captain Bucky. I wonder what kind of future the heavens will reveal about you. It's something to look forward to."

When you first look at Buggy's image, he looks like a comical clown. He's also quite short, less than two meters tall, not even as tall as Alvida after she's slimmed down and become more beautiful. You should know that in the world of One Piece, anyone under three meters is considered disabled, and most of the powerful figures who have made a name for themselves on the high seas are tall and strong. Height is taken into consideration in terms of aesthetics.

"I am the strongest! Minions, let's go outside and have a feast. In the future, I, Bucky the Clown, will surely dominate the seas!" Bucky, now sitting on the table, pointed at the ceiling of the tavern and laughed wildly with his mouth wide open.

He wasn't thinking about much right now; he was just enjoying the moment. If he couldn't beat the Navy, he'd just run away. His escape skills were top-notch; he always managed to escape from the enemy. His luck and Haki were no joke.

In Loguetown, Smoker received a report from a naval officer confirming that Bucky the Clown was currently in Loguetown, and the entire crew was drinking and celebrating in a tavern.

"They really underestimated me. Once the news from Skyfall is over, I'll capture Bucky the Joker immediately. I want to see just how strong this future powerhouse really is," Smoker said, puffing on a cigar with a fierce glint in his eyes. Hunting such prey today was truly wonderful.

"Colonel Smoker has a voice, it's a man's voice," Tashigi said, pointing to the sky. At that moment, the sky changed, from the image of Buggy the Clown to the entire Roger Pirates. Among them were two child-like pirates, one with a red nose and the other with red hair.

As a man's voice began to narrate, all eyes in the world were drawn to the sky, wondering what kind of powerful figure lay beneath this comical clown-like exterior!

Buggy, a name that will one day resound throughout the seas. Everyone who had met him before thought he was just a clown for amusement, but they were all fooled by his acting skills. Doesn't the Navy find it strange that a man who once served as an apprentice crew member on the former Pirate King's ship would willingly stay in this small place in the East Blue?

[It's worth noting that the other intern was none other than Shanks, the Red-Haired Swordsman, who was on the Grand Line. The two had been best friends since childhood, so close that Shanks even gave up the opportunity to reach the final island because Buggy was ill. Unfortunately, their ideals were worlds apart, and in the end, they became the most familiar strangers.]

When recounting Buggy's life story, it's necessary to first explain his current strength. His power, honed over twenty years, is enough to shake the entire pirate world.

Buggy's current nickname is The Joker, and he will be called the Thousand-Ryo Dao Hua by the Navy in the future. He is the last pirate emperor of the sea, possessing Conqueror's Haki that is unmatched by any other in the world. He was born with the qualities to be a king and learned the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement attack method from the Pirate King Roger.

He has honed his Observation Haki to the highest level, allowing him to foresee the future for a certain period of time when fighting others. His Observation Haki also has a special feature: it always brings him inexplicable good luck, allowing him to escape danger every time.

He developed advanced Armament Haki, which can cover his entire body, providing him with a certain degree of defense and attack power. However, because he looked down on Kozuki Oden on the Pirate King's ship, he gave up learning the top-level Armament Haki technique, Stream Sakura.

He is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Chop-Chop Fruit ability. Based on the awakening of his Devil Fruit, he further deduced an even stronger power from it, which he named Devil Fruit Unleashed. In this state, he can ignore the effects of Seastone and seawater, making even experienced Haki users unable to resist the power of his Devil Fruit.

The image of the two children from Roger's Pirates was circled in the sky, and their names were marked below. The red-nosed boy was named Buggy, and the red-haired boy was named Shanks. The latter's name was already known throughout the Grand Line, while the former's name was unknown to anyone before today.

"Captain Bucky, no, I should call you Lord Bucky, you've kept this from us for so long!" Mochi hugged the captain's leg tightly, never expecting that one day this leg would become so strong.

"Lord Buggy, please forgive my rudeness just now. I was blind just now," Alvida said, holding a glass of wine as she approached Captain Buggy. Only a strong man like him deserves to be followed by a beautiful woman.

"Lord Buggy is destined to be a Sea Emperor, or at the very least, a Yonko. We're all going to be in for a treat. Joining the Buggy Pirates is the greatest honor of all," the crew members cheered and surrounded their captain, filled with anticipation for Buggy's future.

Bucky the Joker, caught in the eye of the storm, was completely dumbfounded. His mouth dropped open in astonishment. While some of what was said on the screen was true, the claims about his strength were far too outrageous.

He's developed two Paramecia-type Devil Fruit abilities and is a user of all three types of Haki—what is all this about? He had no idea he was this strong. He'd lived a carefree life for over twenty years, purely by bullying the weak. All the lies he'd told combined didn't compare to what he'd heard today…

Chapter 5 Bucky's Early Life

Just as the World Government, the entire Navy, and the Four Emperors' pirate crews were assessing this news, a voice rang out again from the sky, beginning to recount the life of Buggy the Clown, a man of forbearance.

Before Buggy turned ten, he boarded Roger's pirate ship and participated in the naval battle against Shiki the Golden Lion and the land battle against the Whitebeard Pirates. He experienced thousands of naval battles, large and small, and developed a patient and resilient character from a young age, which will greatly help him in the future.

The Paramecia-type Chop-Chop Fruit was obtained by Buggy during a sea battle, but his initial intention was simply to sell it for money. At that time, his ideal was to find treasure, and he had not yet awakened Conqueror's Haki. Fate played its first trick on him.

[He tricked the crew into thinking that Buggy the Clown had eaten a Devil Fruit, when in fact he had eaten a fake one. Afterwards, he hid by the ship, smugly planning to sell the real fruit, but was startled by Shanks and swallowed the Devil Fruit whole. This accident changed his life, and for a long time afterward, he was unable to swim in the sea.]

But fate played a second cruel joke on him. As they approached the final island, this battle-hardened warrior fell ill, preventing his close friend Shanks from reaching it. Pirate King Roger left all his treasure on Laugh Tale, the final island. One Piece truly exists!!!

Before reaching the final island, Roger knew he had a terminal illness that was incurable by any medical means. He told his crew members this and disbanded the Roger Pirates. The crew members gradually dispersed to different places. Later, he surrendered to Vice Admiral Garp and made an excessive request in the naval prison. The naval hero readily agreed to this adversary he had once respected, thus sowing the seeds of future trouble.

The Navy, smugly reporting that they had captured the Pirate King, were actually deceiving the entire world. Their attempt to establish their authority backfired, falling right into Roger's trap. Unexpectedly, in the final moments of the Pirate King's life, he uttered a few world-changing words that ushered in the Great Pirate Era, setting a clear goal for all pirates: One Piece. Whoever obtains it will be the next Pirate King.

[When Roger was executed in Loguetown, Bucky and Shanks watched the entire process from below. Witnessing the death of their most beloved captain had a profound impact on Shanks, causing him to question his future and fall into a state of confusion.]

[It's important to know that when Roger handed his straw hat to Shanks before his death, he was passing on his will and mantle as the Pirate King to him. Buggy knew this and always understood the vast difference between himself and Shanks, yet his best friend's beliefs wavered after Roger's death.]

In reality, Shanks did not inherit Roger's will. In the heavy rain after his execution, Buggy saw Shanks at his most confused in his life. For this reason, Buggy broke off all ties with Shanks and refused Shanks' invitation to join his crew. That night, Buggy was soaked in the rain all night and awakened Conqueror's Haki at dawn.

Buggy's initial ambition was to become the captain of a pirate crew, recklessly searching for treasure at sea. However, two twists of fate changed this man from the inside out. For more than twenty years afterward, he never left the East Blue, hiding in a corner where no one cared, constantly developing the abilities of his Devil Fruit, hoping to one day fulfill his dream.

Buggy doesn't want to be a Pirate King; he wants the world to be freed from its shackles and plunged into unbridled freedom. Unrestrained freedom means boundless chaos. After the Great Pirate Era created by Roger, the entire world is pushed into an even more chaotic Dark Age by the Clown Pirates in the future.

[After more than twenty years of forbearance, it was finally broken by a boy wearing a straw hat. When Buggy saw the adventurous spirit emanating from Straw Hat Luffy and heard him shouting that he wanted to become the Pirate King, this former crew member of the Pirate King actually saw the shadow of the Pirate King Roger in him. Facing the successor that his close friend Shanks had found for Captain Roger, Buggy was very satisfied. He still pretended to be weak as before and was easily defeated by Straw Hat Luffy.]

Seeing the appearance of this young man who inherited the will of the former Pirate King, Buggy realized that his time to set sail had come. After more than twenty years of waiting, his long-planned scheme was finally about to take its first step.

Interspersed with the dialogue on the screen are videos, revealing the images of various pirates, especially the boy who inherits the will of the Pirate King, who is shown fighting alongside the two.

In the end, the comical clown was left with only a head, two hands, and two feet. Luffy, the Straw Hat boy, with his Gum-Gum Fruit powers, stretched out his arms and "easily" blasted Buggy away. It was all an act by that man, who played the role of weakness perfectly. For the first time, audiences all over the world understood how a cunning old man acted.

The Straw Hat crew aboard the Going Merry were even more stunned, never expecting their figures to appear in the sky. Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, and most importantly, Luffy were all given close-ups and scenes of fighting with the enemy.

"Ah, I've been tricked. I didn't expect Buggy to be so strong. He really looks down on people. If we meet again, I'll definitely make him show his true skills." Luffy stood on the deck, raising his hands, imagining a real duel with Buggy the Clown. He was still as carefree as ever, still the most familiar hot-blooded anime protagonist.

This unreliable captain was met with a punch from someone who didn't know Armament Haki. Nami landed a heavy punch on Luffy's rubber face, leaving a large bump. "You idiot, if you go looking for him again, you're just asking for death. He only let you go once because of his old friend. If you provoke him again, you'll be beaten to death on the spot."

After saying these words, Nami felt even more frightened. She never expected that she, a little thief, would actually steal the treasure of a powerful pirate. Buggy was many times stronger than Arlong.

The woman also emptied the entire Joker Pirates' treasure, leaving Buggy with nothing. Truly, a thief never leaves empty-handed. This scene also appeared in the sky.
