One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Chapter 12 Reporter

Are you interested in becoming a journalist?

This was the first thing Arne heard when he opened his eyes in the white hospital room.

reporter.

This profession sounds quite different from being a pirate.

Arne couldn't think of any advantages he had as a journalist.

At most, he spent a few years learning from an old adventurer on a small island in the South China Sea in his hometown, and he can read some words and understand nautical charts.

However, within the pirate community, this already qualifies them as highly educated.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with the journalism industry.

Arne's eyes were filled with doubt.

"Aren't I a navigator?"

“A candidate!” Bucky emphasized. “Well, you’d better be interested. After all, I bought you, so whether you like it or not, you have to be this reporter.”

Bucky felt that he had shown the other person a great deal of respect.

At least they asked a question.

"As for whether it's suitable or not, you don't need to consider that question."

Bucky lay back down on the hospital bed, while Alne, the patient, stood up in a daze.

"After all... we don't need to chase the news."

"We make news."

Ok.

Alne, a former navigator candidate and former pirate, received a brand new career plan after leaving the iron cage.

The first step in this career plan is to become a journalist.

What qualifies someone as a journalist?

You should at least apply for a job at a newspaper, right?

Following Sergeant Jacques's advice, Arnaud, who was more familiar with the Sabaody Archipelago, arrived at the area of ​​Hotel Street No. 35.

This is where the crew members waiting for passage to Mary Geoise temporarily stopped.

Applying for permission from the World Government and then using a specially designed bubble elevator to cross the Red Line is the safest way to travel between the first and second halves of the Grand Line.

Another option is to travel to Fishman Island, which is 10,000 meters deep in the ocean.

That's a hollow in the deep sea of ​​the Red Line, where the Whitebeard Pirates' flag still flies.

For the newspaper, the advantages of choosing to be based in the hotel district are also obvious.

As the crew members travel between the New World and Paradise Segments, they also spread the news of events that are happening somewhere.

Alner felt a little uneasy.

I wonder if the newspaper discriminates against people who have worked in the pirate industry?

As for why I became a journalist…

Alner didn't want to think about it that much.

His experience on the warship told him that he should just do as Bucky instructed, and that the more he thought about it, the faster he would die.

He looked at the round, multi-story building in front of him, on which was a simple wooden sign that read: World Economic News Agency, Sabaody Archipelago Branch.

With a determined heart, I walked straight in.

-------

At the sanatorium of the naval base.

Pakistan is now facing a rather thorny problem.

A common question many people encounter regarding forms of address.

How should I address Major Yarrow's father?

Old Deng?

Or tell him…

I'm so sorry, but I did throw your son into the fire. What you're hearing now is the voice of that imposter who took your son's place.

Have the people from Zone 1 come looking for you?

While Bucky hesitated, the anthropomorphic Den Den Mushi in front of him began to press him with a stern face.

There are also clear notes on the shell.

His Excellency Baron Fyodor Lux.

As for Zone 1…

Bucky immediately thought of the human auction venue located in Area 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Strictly speaking, they are colleagues.

As is well known, competitors are often rivals.

The secret to winning points lies in finding niche and exclusive content!

“They…are quite interesting,” Bucky said truthfully after a moment’s thought.

"interesting?"

"Don't underestimate them, and don't believe their sweet talk! Behind the auction house in Zone 1 is the Donquixote Family, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"What does that have to do with me... with us?"

Bucky is now reflecting on what it was like for him during his rebellious teenage years when he faced his alcoholic and abusive father.

"Of course they're related!"

The Den Den Mushi's voice suddenly rose a notch.

"That bastard Doflamingo, he wants to buy my auction house with a mere 300 million Berries? How is that possible!"

Baron Lux's roar was like a hoarse insect's, and his expression was ferocious.

"The pirate auction house in Zone 4 is an important source of income for our family! It's a precious legacy inherited from my father and your grandfather!"

When the word "inheritance" was mentioned, the Baron paused involuntarily.

“Little Yaluo, although you cannot inherit the family property, you are still part of the family.”

Oh wow.

It seems that the guy I threw into the fire has a rather "special" identity.

No wonder the diary rarely mentions family matters.

With that connection, it's no wonder that the major captain took the initiative to contact him, and there's also the Sicilian major general behind him...

Bucky rubbed his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"That's fine then."

During his silence, the Baron made the decision for him first.

"Don't contact the people from Auction No. 1 for now. After a while, I'll think of a way to transfer you from the judicial detention center to the Sabaody Archipelago."

The judicial detention center, mentioned in Aro's diary, was a prison built on a small island not far from Enies Lobby.

While awaiting the perfunctory trial proceedings on Judiciary Island, arrested criminals are temporarily detained in detention centers.

After a period of time, they will be transported to the underwater prison.

Yaro's original duty was to be responsible for escorting people between the detention center and the underwater prison.

This also leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, one or more pirate prisoners might die in detention due to a serious and incurable illness, or they might suddenly have a mental breakdown and jump into the sea during transport.

These are all acceptable.

Pirates don't have any human rights organizations advocating for them.

Another reason is that almost all pirates are sentenced to permanent imprisonment.

This was also the greatest role that Yaro had previously played for the Baron.

Of course, it was this Baron who personally helped Yarrow join the navy and get promoted.

But what surprised Bucky even more was the Baron's influence in the Navy.

The baron seemed certain that Bucky would agree, and continued, "With you at Sector 66, our family's assets are more secure..."

"Of course, of course."

The Baron received the answer he wanted.

The only strange thing was that my good son's tone seemed a little odd today.

It seems like they're being sarcastic or unsettling.

That can't be...

Baron Lux could only attribute the cause to the shock he had experienced during the recent explosion of the escort warship.

A fugitive actually committed such a horrific act.

That pirate clown is really scary!

Chapter 13 Us

The Baron's phone call was very effective.

At least by the next day, Bucky had moved out of the somewhat monotonous naval sanatorium.
