One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The bounty is...

Two hundred million peles.

There are quite a few.

Our protagonist, the Straw Hat Boy, currently has a bounty of only 100 million Berries. He only recently saw the Enies Lobby incident reported in the newspaper.

Are they still in Water Seven, or are they heading towards Sabaody Archipelago?

Bucky made a rough guess but didn't take it too seriously.

He had no interest in the main characters.

I don't find anything funny about passionate bonds or anything like that.

Aside from himself, who is a minor celebrity, the other reports are about eleven rising stars who have gradually emerged in the past year.

Eustass Kid, who hails from the South Blue and has an outspoken personality; Law, known as the "Surgeon of Death"; and Hawkins, captain of the Hawkins Pirates.

The criminals' deeds were thus brazenly published in newspapers distributed throughout the country.

Even bounty posters, which should have been a noose to hang themselves, have become a benchmark for comparison and competition among pirates.

The Navy and the World Government, which seem to represent justice, are more like an iceberg floating on the sea, hiding their unfathomable darkness beneath the water and only revealing their bright and white side.

They even printed the word "justice" on it with great seriousness.

The entire blue world is like a giant version of Gotham City.

But it is precisely this kind of world that makes Bucky even more excited.

Chaos can also be a kind of beauty.

An enigmatic smile unconsciously crept onto his face.

The sight of the nurses pushing their trolleys as they passed by made them blush.

Sergeant Jacques's gaze followed the nurse's steps for a long distance.

He wanted to be a little more reserved, but on the warship he was surrounded by all sorts of musclemen every day.

When you go out to sea, you often don't see a member of the opposite sex for several months.

But if we can get on Major Yaro's good side, things should get better in the future, right?

"Lord Yarrow, the person you requested has been taken to the port area."

"Well done, Sergeant Jacques."

Bucky put away the newspaper and replied with a smile.

Yaro didn't have many associates in the Navy, but Bucky wasn't in a hurry to associate with them.

On the contrary, it was Sergeant Jacques, who originally belonged to Brownie's subordinates.

He was in the lower middle ranks of his original team and didn't get much recognition, but he longed for change or improvement.

When Major Baki, who had connections, appeared before him, Jacques naturally gravitated towards him.

For Bucky at this stage, he is a fairly useful tool.

Another point is that Jacques is realistic.

The Sabaody Archipelago is surrounded by the roots of towering mangroves, forming as many as 79 areas.

The area where the Navy is stationed is Area 66.

It has a medium-sized port that can accommodate multiple ships.

It also has warehouses where goods can be temporarily stored.

The warehouse was somewhat damp, with wooden crates piled up haphazardly, and scattered around were many dry straws, some left over from previous goods and others simply for decoration.

In the corner, there were a few cigarette butts that had been stepped on and moved askew.

This is the kind of place that even construction site safety officers would run away from overnight.

There was also a distinct smell of excrement mixed with a fishy odor.

Clearly, the goods piled up here also include live animals.

Bucky even considered cutting off his nose and throwing it outside.

However, Sergeant Jacques, who considered himself to have latched onto a powerful figure, was also nearby.

He felt it was better to maintain a normal and rational image.

Of course, there's nothing you can do if you can't maintain it.

The only rational way to live in this world is to ignore the rules.

If the attending physician at Arkham Asylum were to see him, they would probably have to reassess the Joker's condition.

At the very least, they can be moved from a single-person ward that restricts movement to a multi-person ward where they have some time to move around.

The two men's clean leather boots trod lightly on the dry straw.

A short while later, it stopped in front of a rusty iron cage.

Inside the iron cage, what Arne could see when he barely opened his eyes was a pair of leather boots.

"Cough cough..." He breathed carefully, the pungent smell in the warehouse making him feel nauseous.

The chills made him think that becoming a nobleman's slave wouldn't be so bad.

Under the influence of damp and cold conditions, he felt as if a branding iron was placed on his forehead.

Even with just simple treatment, my abdomen was still cramping with every breath.

Dignity is more important than survival.

It becomes worthless.

“My dear navigator candidate.”

"Why isn't your captain welcome?"

Bucky crouched down, looking directly at Alne, his tone slightly teasing, "You should know that I've always been a man of my word."

candidate

teacher?

Arne tried to look up, but somehow his eyes became misty.

Seeing this young naval officer in front of him, he felt like he was seeing a crazy clown.

Even the teasing tone was exactly the same.

"Captain!"

".captain.?"

Sergeant Jacques's voice was trembling.

Why, why would this pirate prisoner call Major Yaro "captain"?

Why did Major Yaro specifically buy this prisoner?

Why.

He suddenly remembered the major he had seen when the warship exploded.

The strip of flesh that suddenly fell off his face.

A terrible thought began to surface in his mind.

My legs trembled uncontrollably.

Jacques desperately tried to run away.

Yes, the warehouse is very close to the base, and the base commander is a major general from Sicily. I need to go and report to him.

We need to report this!

No matter how he tried to urge them, his legs wouldn't budge.

It felt as if two hands were gripping them tightly.

Jacques looked down.

There really were hands gripping my feet.

Chapter 11 Human Auction

"Well, what is it?"

Jacques remembered that Buggy, the pirate who blew up the warship and escaped, had his bounty increased from 15 million to 200 million, and his ability was to tear things apart.

Damn it, why do I need to know so much!

He tried to gather his scattered thoughts and stop thinking about them too deeply.

"If I say I didn't see anything, would you believe me?"

“Of course.” Bucky smiled gently. “We’ll pretend nothing happened, just like always. I’m the major, you’re the sergeant. Get ready, and I’ll take you for a ride.”

"May I?"

Jacques' voice trembled as he looked at Bucky's smile and felt a strange chill.

Bucky forced another smile, but perhaps because his flesh and bones didn't match, it looked forced and insincere.

"Of course not."

"If I could, I would have let you go just now."

"But my dear sergeant, if you're willing to give me something that's enough to guarantee your life..."

He nodded with his finger, looking as if he were thinking very seriously.

"That's not something we can't consider."

"But you must remember that leverage can definitely save your life. If it can only save a part of your body, then you can only leave with that part behind."
