One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The fiery red sun emblem on his chest even gave him a stinging sensation.

His hands clenched into fists and trembled violently.

".clown!"

The two words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, hoarse and filled with anger.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and then Jinbe stomped his wooden clogs, creating a whirlwind beneath his feet.

Jinbe's blue body rushed in front of Smoothie in an instant, his fist clashing with her greatsword, producing a metallic clang.

It was accompanied by a low growl: "Stay!"

King Neptune must not die this way!

"idiot."

Smoothie's eyes were cold.

She blocked the whale shark man's fist with a greatsword slung across her back.

The opponent's terrifying strength caused the blade to tremble slightly.

As a former Shichibukai, Jinbe is definitely not comparable to someone like Moria.

But that didn't stop Smoothie from looking at him with a cold, disdainful gaze.

Two mermaids have you wrapped around their little finger?

This is the biggest difference between her and Jinbe.

The death of royalty at the hands of the Joker will only further consolidate their rule.

Anyway, Neptune has three other sons; any one of them could be put in charge.

This is why she left the Dragon Palace and came to the plaza based on just a gut feeling.

Besides being wary of a possible attack from Quinn, her indifferent attitude towards King Neptune also played a part.

What is the point of a king who can't even protect his own country?

To outsiders, Fishman Island was previously ruled by Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and later by Whitebeard.

The future belongs only to their family.

"Humph!"

Seeing Jinbe's still stubborn gaze, Smoothie twirled the hand holding the hilt of her sword.

Like water droplets slowly dripping from the hilt of a sword after a towel has been wrung out.

Jinbe's hand, which had been touching the sword, immediately withered.

"The fruit of the squeeze."

Jinbe muttered something under his breath, then withdrew his fists.

The humid environment of Fishman Island made my palms feel full again.

"Please give us, and this old man, some time."

In fact, he had already made up his mind when he said that.

Since royalty cannot die, let them depart in a dignified manner.

"No wonder they managed Fishman Island like this."

Smoothie muttered a sarcastic remark under her breath.

Even though Fishman Island is in a special location, the advantages of fishmen and mermaids are still enormous.

There's no need to elaborate on the fact that Jinbe is a Shichibukai-level fighter.

There is even a group of fish-men whose innate strength is comparable to that of elite pirates, and they can also control terrifying sea monsters in the ocean.

With this level of strength, as long as they diligently maintain their defenses, they can succeed.

Aside from the Four Emperors and Admirals taking action, it would be extremely difficult for any other pirate to break through Fishman Island's defenses.

However, this group managed to turn the country into one that only found stability under the protection of the Four Emperors.

"Their vision is so short-sighted and blind."

She added another sentence, and at the same time, she spun the greatsword in her hand again, causing dry cracks to appear on the ground where her feet touched.

His arms and greatsword, however, inflated like balloons.

She is drawing moisture from the ground to replenish herself.

Immediately afterwards, the greatsword was raised from below.

An extremely dazzling flying slash leaped up from the ground, heading straight for Jinbe.

She had no interest in waiting for these idiots to make any choices.

"Fishman Karate - Karakusa Tile Punch!"

Jinbe reacted quickly, assuming a horse stance as Smoothie was draining the water from the ground, his right fist retracting to his abdomen, the surface of his fist covered with black Armament Haki.

The instant the slash flew out.

He suddenly threw out his right fist.

The surrounding air was rapidly compressed into a white shockwave, which collided with the massive slash from the ground.

The already dry ground suddenly cracked open.

Even the brick-paved square was shaken open with spiderweb-like cracks.

Not only the fish-men, but even the mermaids were horrified.

Jinbe is actually that strong?!

Her initial inclination towards the royal family suddenly wavered again.

The psychology of admiring strength clashed with the psychology of traditional rulers and ministers.

Some mermaids even started sticking to the fish-men in hopes of getting protection.

"Huff huff."

It's so cold, so cold.

Denis felt a bone-chilling cold, his broad fins covered in frost.

My mind is completely muddled.

He started moving around frantically, trying to gain some warmth through physical activity.

A splash of crimson blood stained his face, and the manta ray-like fish-man finally showed a hint of satisfaction.

Then I moved my body even more vigorously.

"Did you see that? Hehehehehe."

Bucky lowered his eyes, and the surveillance Den Den Mushi that the royal family had set up in the square broadcast all the images into the corridor.

Everything fell into chaos.

The pirates began attacking the fish-men.

The fish-men began slaughtering the mermaids.

The mermaid screamed in agony.

What a joyful scene!

"Why."

Why do this?

Neptune's face was streaked with tears. The great knight, whose tail fin pain had not caused him to shed a single tear, was now weeping uncontrollably because of the slaughter his own people were committing against each other.

Putting aside his stinginess, indecisiveness, and poor judgment in governing, this king did indeed have a heart that cared for his people.

But that's all there is to it.

"What do you want, the wealth of Dragon Palace?"

I can give you this crown, or even this crown.

Please make them stop!

His crying only made Bucky's face turn extremely cold.

His eyes also revealed a cruel edge.

The demons behind them were jumping around with glee at the scene of such madness and chaos.

The dark red shadow would occasionally envelop Bucky completely.

This made him appear like a demon at that moment.

Even Bai Xinglian's enormous tail fin was trembling with unease.

Try harder to put a smile on your face.

His hand gripped Neptune's neck.

"This island was destined to be destroyed, wasn't it?"

Like a prophecy from an ancient legend, would you like to tell me about it?

The physical pain made Neptune's mind feel much better.

He didn't understand why the other party knew such a secret.

But he still said in a muffled voice:

"That was a promise left by a great man."

One day he will take us into the real sunlight.

As for the destruction of Fishman Island, that was Lady Shirley's prophecy.

"So you've been waiting for such a savior?"

Bucky finally managed a smile back on his face.
