One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Swan stood beside him and asked earnestly.

Mr. Bucky had a slight smile on his face; he seemed more approachable in this state.

As someone who was also enslaved, she could better understand the feelings of the fish-men.

However, these emotions did not affect her decisiveness when planting the bomb.

In her view, Mr. Bucky gave these fish-men the courage to rebel.

"Self-rescue?"

"No, no, no, I was just having some fun."

Bucky casually took a pill and chewed on it.

My eyes instantly turned red.

After waiting a while, he opened his chest again, took out the drug that had just evaporated, and let it dissipate into the air.

That's a bit wasteful.

However, Bucky didn't seem to care much.

This method doesn't significantly shorten one's lifespan, so the other person in the brain won't have as many objections.

It can also help strengthen one's own power.

Even the demon was somewhat moved.

Sea Forest

This is the underwater forest located northeast of Fishman Street. Because many shipwrecks in the sea are pushed here by the tide, it is also known as the "Ship Graveyard".

Inside one of the relatively intact ship's decks.

Jinbe pushed open the creaking wooden door and looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky.

For some reason, he felt uneasy tonight.

Please vote for me! It'll probably be available on Friday.

Chapter 102 The Road to Fishman Island

The sun shines as usual.

The sunlight on my body brought a touch of warmth to my anxious heart.

Jinbe stretched his limbs a little. His body was wrapped in bandages, some from the Marineford War and some from the sixth level of Impel Down.

"Blackbeard... an ambitious man like that always makes me a little worried."

He muttered a couple of things.

"But without that guy, I wouldn't have escaped from that prison so easily..."

Jinbe, the only Shichibukai who refused the Navy's conscription order, was imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down before the Marineford War began.

He was imprisoned in an adjacent cell with Ace.

Unfortunately, Ace didn't get a good chance to leave until he was taken away for execution, when Blackbeard suddenly barged in.

They recruited crew members and forced them to kill each other.

Jinbe was somewhat wary of that guy, but that didn't stop him from taking this opportunity to escape from prison.

Incidentally, he also cooperated with another Shichibukai to escape the Navy's pursuit.

Actually, it wasn't exactly an escape. Crocodile is still being chased by the Marine Admirals. It's just that Jinbe, relying on the advantages of his Fish-Man race, can easily be caught by the Marines once he dives into the sea.

"It's a pity we couldn't take your brother with us. Even a guy like Bartholomew Kuma would turn against us at the last minute and send Straw Hat Luffy and their first mate flying."

His gaze was fixed on a lion-headed pirate ship not far away.

The Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny.

The ship was clearly damaged at this point. The lion's head on the bow looked as if it had been hit by a rock, and half of it was destroyed. The remaining marks were also charred black.

The mast shows signs of being broken and then repaired.

It was clear that they had gone through an exceptionally fierce battle.

Franky had been repairing the ship almost all night. When he saw the fishman who had protected them as they left the battlefield get up, he raised his hand and greeted him with a smile.

Jinbe nodded in response.

He didn't have much of a relationship with the Straw Hat crew, but he felt grateful to Whitebeard and Ace.

If it weren't for Whitebeard's protection, Fishman Island wouldn't even have had this period of peace.

In addition, there was Ace's request while he was in prison.

Jinbe will escort the Straw Hat Pirates to Fishman Island to rest.

After all, their captain had made quite a name for himself on the Marineford battlefield.

Including the demon's son, who was studying the shipwreck not far away.

The war seems to have helped this group mature a lot.

But it's not all bad.

"I don't know what the other four emperors' conditions are... but as long as there is an emperor's banner, Fishman Island can return to peace."

Jinbe then murmured something in silence.

His eyebrows and sideburns looked like they were caught in a raging storm.

He naturally knew that two of the emperor's subordinates and one of the emperors were on the island.

That's why he and his Straw Hat crew hid in the Sea Forest.

Jinbe was unsure how the other emperors viewed the Straw Hat crew.

Many Supernova pirate crews were hunted down by them.

Even though they were considered somewhat powerful in the Paradise area, they were as powerless as children when faced with the ruling power of the New World.

It's a pity that his title of Shichibukai has already been stripped...

Ha, but even if it weren't stripped of its rights, it wouldn't be able to protect this island.

Fishman Island's location is crucial.

Jinbe shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. The Supernovas were like children, and weren't they just as innocent?

Even a young child carrying a jade pendant across the street is more captivating.

"Boss Jinbe!"

Parada suddenly emerged from a corner of the forest.

After escaping from Mary Geoise, he traveled to several places before finally returning to Fishman Island.

"Palada, what was that noise from Fishman Street yesterday?"

The Sea Forest isn't far from Fishman Town, and Jinbe could hear the sounds coming from there. However, he didn't like the new boss of Fishman Town, that guy named Hody Jones.

Therefore, they did not approach.

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you, boss!"

Parada made no attempt to conceal it; before Hody Jones, Jinbe was the boss of Fishman Street.

He learned Fishman Karate from Jinbe around that time.

"Hody Jones' headquarters was blown up for some reason, and they're now itching for revenge."

Parada's eyes shone brightly.

His fully recovered body was slightly smaller than Jinbe's, but still larger than many fish-men.

It has a relatively large head, a dorsal fin located on its lower back, sickle-shaped fins on its wrists, and grayish-brown skin with many longitudinal and transverse stripes.

Moreover, he has a rather warlike personality and is a tiger shark man.

No wonder he dared to cause such a ruckus in the Holy Land, just like Fisher-Teg.

Is that all?

Jinbe felt a little relieved upon hearing this, realizing that the squabbles between these guys were nothing to worry about.

"I heard that something happened at the Fishman Tavern, but I had just declined Hody Jones's invitation, so I didn't go."

Parada chuckled a few more times.

He now feels that every extra day he can live is a bonus, after all, the years he spent as a slave had really turned him into a dried fish.

Therefore, I have absolutely no interest in Hody Jones's so-called punishment of humanity.

He still longs for big events like Mr. Bucky's.

"Judging from their attitude, it seems they want to take revenge on humanity," he added.

"Sigh," Jinbe sighed silently. Having come from Fishman Island, he could certainly understand Hody Jones's hatred.

When will this ever-accumulating hatred and resentment finally end?

Brother Tai had been working on this problem, but in the end, his death only fueled the hatred in Fishman Street.

Even Ah Long and the others believed that human indifference led to Tai's death.

"I don't know. If Queen Otohime and Brother Tiger are still alive, they should have a way."

Queen Otohime and Fisher Tiger symbolize the two paths that Fish-Man Island has taken.

One option is to seek peace, like Queen Otohime, by collecting signatures from the people and seeking recognition and reconciliation among humanity.

This is the path that the current royal family, including the merfolk, are following.

Unfortunately, Queen Otohime died at the hands of humans, and this path came to an end.

What will happen if we reach the end?

Anyway, Parada isn't very optimistic about it.
