One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

His face suddenly turned ashen.

"What's wrong, Brigadier General?"

"No, it's nothing." Brownie coughed twice, suppressing his nausea.

He's just a weak major who likes to flaunt aristocratic etiquette; there's no need for me to overreact.

But where did that red-nosed clown go...?

Did they really take the opportunity to escape?

The thought sent chills down his spine.

Having served in the military for so many years, this red-nosed clown was definitely the most disgusting opponent he had ever encountered.

none of them!

Watching helplessly as the opponent learns all of your moves and then quickly adapts to use them against you.

It's made me so cautious that I have to be extremely careful even if I move around a little!

What's even more disgusting is that, apart from Seastone, he has no way to harm the other party; his shattered body has the same effect as elementalization.

For the first time, he felt an urgent desire to master Armament Haki.

"This is not the Tower of Justice, there's no need for such formalities, a salute is sufficient."

"Ok."

Pakistan readily agreed and stopped provoking the brigadier general.

However, this also proves that his current disguise has been successful.

Even Brownie, who had just fought him, was completely unaware.

Moreover, the chaotic situation he created himself has added another layer of mystery to his current identity, making the Navy's subsequent investigation much more difficult.

Brownie is alive, and the chaos caused by the explosion can be quickly quelled.

One by one, charred corpses, whose identities were difficult to discern, were dragged out of the burning ship's cabins.

By the time they reached high altitudes above Rizhao, the warship had already sunk halfway.

The people on the original escort ship had to be transferred to the warships that came to provide support, including the fugitives who had been captured and brought back.

Surrounded by flames and blackened cannon barrels, they could only put up a last-ditch resistance.

The only thing that weighed heavily on Brownie's mind was that the red-nosed clown was gone.

"Is there any need to worry so much about a mere fugitive pirate?"

Onigumo glared at him, his tone less than friendly.

Even the warship sank, so Brownie will probably get a lot of flak, and he himself will likely get a few words in return.

“Sigh, you don’t understand,” Brownie said with a bitter face. “It’s a monster.”

Brownie felt that for a while, he would be unable to escape the shadow of the clown.

"Then don't give him any chance."

"On my command, sink the escort ship completely!"

"Sink it?!" Brownie exclaimed in surprise. "Who knows if there's any navy down there?"

Onigumo didn't care. "Sinking it inside the Gate of Justice is good for you and for me."

"After all, the escort ship wasn't on the designated route."

Wow, that's pretty decisive.

Bucky leaned against the iron railing on the second deck, watching the navy's actions with a hint of contentment.

As for the action

He had finally managed to secure himself the prestigious title of major, and simply staying here was already a sign of his responsibility.

The view from here is perfect.

You can see right in front of you.

The entire process of tiny mushrooms dragging a massive warship to the seabed.

It's truly magnificent.

"There's even a second round of celebratory fireworks. It seems the world is exceptionally enthusiastic."

"What kind of fun should we bring to this world next?"

Bucky twisted his neck, his mind racing with ideas.

Searching for a great treasure?

uninteresting.

conquer the world?

It's still boring.

As for any righteous adventure...

Bucky thought it wouldn't be as fun as performing a knife-cutting act at the circus.

He suddenly remembered that trivial and boring diary.

"Perhaps we need to squeeze every last drop of value out of this identity."

Bucky lowered his head, his white justice coat fluttering in the sea breeze.

"Sometimes, the truth is more stimulating than anything else."

-

Naval Headquarters.

A loud "bang" suddenly came from the towering city gates stacked one on top of another.

Zhan Guo slammed the report he was holding down heavily.

"What are these bastards doing?!"

He pushed up his round-framed glasses with his left hand and rubbed his temples.

He was quite old; noticeable wrinkles could be seen on his forehead and around his eyebrows.

However, as the head of the navy, the largest violent organization on the sea, many things are not as he wishes.

For example, giving a report in front of you.

A naval escort ship experienced a mutiny, during which some of the most vicious pirate fugitives detonated the ship's boiler room, causing the ship to sink.

Attached to the report was a bounty poster for the red-nosed clown.

It was clearly that vicious pirate.

However, the amount of the reward is rather glaring.

Fifteen million peles.

It might be considered top-tier in the East China Sea, but on the Grand Line, it wouldn't even be considered a small fry.

This small fry not only escaped from the navy's guards but also sank a warship.

"Bucky. One redhead is troublesome enough, and now this guy has appeared."

"And of all times, it had to be at this time."

Sengoku glanced thoughtfully at a top-secret report on the table.

The unexpected event also made him more hesitant about a big plan he was brewing in his heart.

"But I will never give up this opportunity."

Once someone becomes a marshal, the decisions made during the Warring States period are not easily shaken.

Chapter 10 The Wind of Sabaody Archipelago

The winds of the Sabaody Archipelago are always particularly enchanting.

After blowing through the neon bubbles, the wind itself seemed to carry a dreamlike quality.

Of course, it could also be the captivating scent left behind by that sweet-smiling angel in white who just left.

Bucky lay on his familiar hospital bed.

I took a sip of the sweet-smelling coffee.

Although compared to the vast majority of the navy on the escort ship, the scar on his cheek seemed negligible.

Then he opened the brand-new newspaper in his hand.

Well, it has been almost twenty days since he left the escort ship.

During this period, he unusually refrained from causing any trouble.

If the Gotham City police find out, they'll probably have to give him a Good Citizen Award.

This is extremely rare.

Most of the time, Bucky felt he was perfectly rational.

He behaved in the same way when faced with the Navy's subsequent investigation.

The benefit of his rational behavior was that, not long after, he received a month of paid leave and his current private hospital room.

It was as if they knew his identity.

The first arrest warrant attached to the newspaper was for himself.

A clown with a red nose, wearing a black and white striped prison uniform, and with a scraggly beard, is holding up a sign.

His composure was forced.

It was taken when he was arrested.
