One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Yes, awakening.

Bucky thought that word was more appropriate.

He himself may not have felt it, but Smoker felt it firsthand.

Although Bucky hadn't trained much, the strength he could muster was completely different from when he was in Loguetown.

However, it can't be said that there was absolutely no exercise.

After all, each use of the Six Styles is like constantly squeezing out more from an already torn body.

Perhaps after a few more games, the demon's activity will increase even further.

Will they try to take my body away from me then?

Bucky thought with a hint of anticipation.

"Body and mind adapted to the devil"

Hawkins looked thoughtful and pulled a card with a scarecrow design from his pocket.

"The scarecrow symbolizes the devil?"

Bucky only hinted at it; it's more meaningful to let the other person figure out the symbolism themselves.

He tilted his head back again.

His presence, accompanied by a dark red glow, instilled a sense of fear in Matsumi.

"Can you take us to the Dragon Palace Kingdom?"

Bucky felt that his attitude at this moment must be very mild; even the petty thugs who robbed drugstores in Gotham didn't have such a good attitude.

"No, no problem."

Watatsumi flinched in fright, and the sudden movement caused a surge in the surrounding ocean currents.

It looks like that guy with the upturned mustache.

No, it's much more terrifying.

He thought to himself, and then explained aloud:

"But there are pirates outside the kingdom, and they won't let anyone in."

Although outsiders entering the Dragon Palace Kingdom are usually subject to entry checks by the kingdom's "Sea King Army".

But Watatsumi didn't care at all; those fishmen were all his juniors.

But pirates are different.

"Very strong."

He added, "But not as scary as you."

At least Watatsumi didn't feel the same terrifying power from any of the pirates as he did from Buggy at that moment.

Bucky then turned his attention to Hawkins, Cabaji, and the other two.

They had only recently left Fishman Island.

So taking them along also served as a kind of guide.

Hawkins pondered for a moment, "When we entered Fishman Island from Sabaody, we did encounter some military personnel, but it was nothing serious."

He meant that those were just small fry and posed no threat.

"On the contrary, when we try to leave Fishman Island, we will be blocked by the Beast Pirates."

"I broke through with Kidd and the others."

"However, the Beasts Pirates are more interested in them."

Hawkins' meaning was clear: he broke out from inside Fishman Island, and once inside, at least Hawkins and his group didn't encounter any obstacles.

"And what about Vander Deiken?"

Baki looked up and asked Watatsumi.

"The captain has hidden himself."

"Shall we go find him and play?"

"…Play?"

Mianjin hesitated for a moment. The captain had instructed him not to reveal his location to outsiders, and the people of the Dragon King's Palace had been trying to find the captain.

After all, for eight years, the captain had been tirelessly courting Princess Shirahoshi of the mermaid race.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

I've been wandering around outside all by myself for so long, I'm so bored!

It would be even better if we could invite the captain to play with us.

Watatsumi pushed forward, and the ocean current surged violently.

The dim yellow light illuminated a large expanse of azure sky, towering majestically above the ship. Kabaji and his companions looked up for a long while before realizing that this was the monster's body.

Its palms are webbed, its legs are short, its head and skull take up most of its body, and you can vaguely see fins on its back.

Watatsumi stretched out another hand and carefully held the boat in his hand.

Following the sinking current, I kicked my feet.

Who is Vander Deikun?

Unable to contain his curiosity, Jacques asked Hawkins.

With such a large monster crew member, and seemingly knowing Mr. Bucky, they must be quite extraordinary individuals, right?

"A pervert."

Hawkins thought for a moment and then answered seriously.

This is a consensus on Fishman Island.

Chapter 95 Come out and have some fun!

With Watatsumi's help, the sinking process was much faster.

The darkness had dissipated.

Instead, light began to fill the seabed, which was thousands of meters deep.

Every now and then you can see huge vines, like underwater mountain ranges, winding endlessly and stretching as far as the eye can see.

That's the Sun Tree Eve.

A giant tree so large that it can connect the sunlight on the sea surface with the giant tree in the deep sea.

Its roots emitted a dazzling light, as bright as the midday sun.

It illuminates the seabed thousands of meters deep.

It is because of this tree that Fishman Island also has day and night.

"There are pirates."

A childish voice came from Matsumi.

Within sight, several coated pirate ships could be vaguely seen patrolling outside Fishman Island.

The light from the roots of the sun tree allowed Buggy to see the flags on the pirate ships.

The Beasts Pirates.

Are you here to guide Sasaki?

However, that guy was probably captured by Kizaru.

As for the tasks and experiments assigned by the other party, Kizaru probably has no interest whatsoever.

That's about it.

He did too much, and that wretched position of marshal was getting closer and closer to him.

Fishman Island, though called an island, is actually a creation encased in a giant double-layered bubble.

A huge double-layered semi-circular bubble membrane shield surrounds the entire island, with an air layer between the two shields.

If a ship tries to force its way through, the coating will automatically peel off and merge with the island's protective shield. Some ships will even fall to the ground in the air layer between them. Even if they successfully break through the shield, the invading ships and crew will be swept away by the seawater inside the shield.

Yes, that's the route the main characters take in the original work.

There is only one circular passage, like a giant magnifying glass, which is the main entrance to Fishman Island.

It's hard to imagine that such an island is so easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, fish-men have a huge advantage over humans in the deep sea.

Before Whitebeard declared his protection, this would be an island that pirates and the Navy could run rampant at will.

That's right, before being protected by a pirate.

The navy would come to this island to capture fishermen or mermaids.

Female mermaids can fetch too high a price.

Demand exceeds supply.

Bucky stared intently for a moment, then saw Matsumi struggling to break free from the surging, sinking current.

He held Tea Beard's pirate ship to his chest.

The azure sky was covered with haphazardly interwoven black patterns.

Then he pushed off with all his might.

They gradually moved away from the giant bubble of Fishman Island, but the light did not diminish at all.

"This is a jungle of vines."

Watatsumi explained that, to the side and above Fishman Island, the roots of the Sun Tree Eve were intertwined.
