One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

He truly lived; he was another truly living demon after Nika!

This seemed to have a very special meaning for him.

Their eyes were filled with obvious joy.

But then, he looked at Smoothie with a furious gaze.

It's chaotic, why isn't it chaotic anymore? Why has it become quiet?

This wasn't something Smoothie saw in the Crimson Clown's eyes, but rather something she heard directly with her Observation Haki.

The patterns on the other person's face, resembling those of a Devil Fruit, became even more pronounced.

It even covered up the clown's original paint.

Smoothie held her breath, the sudden relief of the oppressive aura finally giving her the ability to do something again.

She struggled to get her hand, which was floating two meters away, to touch the ground.

The dark red clown's hands grew stronger and stronger, and her once pretty face turned bluish-purple, with the sound of bones cracking emanating from it.

But his own hand finally touched the ground.

"Juice Giant!"

She let out a low growl, and in the blink of an eye, she squeezed out all the moisture from beneath the ground.

Water filled the body, causing it to swell up.

His head suddenly broke free from the control of the dark red clown.

"Fishman Karate - Secret Technique - Martial Arts!"

The moment she broke free, Jinbe had already gathered a large water ball in his palm and flung it out.

Like a shockwave unleashed by the Great Buddha of the Warring States period, it covered the entire Dark Red Joker with unparalleled power.

The dark red clown, still sporting a clumsy, imitative smile, raised his hand.

The water ripples split apart the moment they touched his palm.

"Come play!"

The dark red clown muttered a couple of sentences, and the fluency of his speech noticeably improved.

A demon that is not alive is merely a mass of will carrying prayers, while a demon that is truly alive begins to have its own understanding.

Nika seeks liberation, while the Crimson Clown only wants to play.

A loud rumble suddenly came from the sky.

On Fishman Island, where lightning shouldn't exist, a red lightning bolt ripped across the sky.

The dark lines that had been spreading throughout the Dragon Palace were brought back.

Let's stop here for today.

As Shanks spoke, the oppressive force that had been pressing down on everyone suddenly eased.

He had long been able to freely control the pressure of Conqueror's Haki with his own will.

"Consider it a favor to me."

He grinned, quite curious about the changes in his old friend.

As for the dead mermaids and fish-men, that was not within his concern.

If the Sea Kings' agitation hadn't threatened their safety, Shanks would have watched Buggy wipe out the royal family in the tavern, then come out laughing and say, "After doing something so outrageous, shouldn't you buy me a drink?"

This is what pirates are all about.

"No, no!"

The dark red clown's face showed obvious displeasure.

Having just experienced what it's like to be alive, he was unwilling to leave the stage like this.

He wanted to create a chaotic scene filled with blood and fire, just like that clown.

They want to push people into the abyss of madness.

That's the meaning of his life!

In an empty world.

The clown lying here seemed to sense something.

"Here it comes, here it comes, hehehehehe!"

He seemed to have remembered something amusing, and kept laughing.

"call----"

The crimson clown let out a long breath, and everything his feet touched showed signs of cracking.

A huge crack appeared in the ground in an instant, threatening to plunge Shanks and his crew into the abyss.

"Then let me play with you."

Shanks gripped the hilt of his sword with his remaining hand and said without hesitation.

Friends are friends.

Now that they belong to two different pirate crews, Shanks must first consider the needs of his crewmates.

"Let me see how much progress you've made over the years."

A flash of red lightning suddenly appeared in the air, then circled around the Griffin that was about to be drawn.

The sword guard is as elegant as a griffin.

"The captain taught us this trick."

"Gods, beware!"

The sword was drawn in an instant, and the red lightning exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

It was unleashed with an aura that seemed to scatter even gods and demons.

"Torn apart. The Joker!"

The crimson clown also roared, unleashing a demonic aura.

The jet-black lines covered the red lightning bolts, as if they were about to split apart this domineering aura.

Chapter 117 The Second Thing Kidnapped

The connecting corridor was in a mess, with little of the original building structure visible, and the roof had been blown off.

The roots of the sun tree were just beginning to emit a bit of pure white sunlight.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, the sun has risen again.

Ten thousand meters below, radiating black lines intertwine with red lightning, blocking out the sunlight, symbolizing the clash between the aura of demons and kings.

The aftershocks alone forced Smoothie, Jinbe, and the others to evacuate the center.

Jinbe also took away King Neptune's body. The king was not young, and after suffering both physical and mental blows from the clown, his departure was a relief.

The Little Mermaid's cries finally subsided. Her bloodshot eyes stared at her father's corpse, filled with resentment yet unable to express it.

Her mother told her not to hate the murderer, but for the first time, Shirahoshi felt that this statement was completely wrong.

But do I have the ability to take revenge?

Who else can I rely on?

After venting her emotions, Shirahoshi had to start thinking about these real-world problems.

At least beneath her tearful exterior, she is quite responsible and strong inside.

Her eyes were red as she looked at Jinbe, her only support now, who had once been a member of the Sea King's army.

The whale shark-man was covered in wounds, and through the monitoring Den Den Mushi, one could see that the blood of fish-men and mermaids had smeared the entire square…

Above the corridor.

The intertwining of the black lines and the red lightning was decided in the blink of an eye.

The red lightning shattered the barrier of the black lines, instantly engulfing the dark red clown.

The powerful impact created a deep crater, resembling a meteorite impact.

The entire Dragon Palace City suddenly tilted at one corner.

"Whoosh! Roar!"

The dark red clown growled a few words, his eyes bloodshot.

He felt pain for the first time.

Then, mimicking the original clown, he displayed a mocking smile in the face of such pain, though his brows were furrowed.

The red lightning was a manifestation of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki, but the damage it caused to the Crimson Clown was real.

That really hurt.

The moves roared by the dark red clown are actually somewhat similar to those of the Divine Evasion.

Both involve condensing intangible spirit into near-tangible shockwaves.

The difference is that God of the Shadows unleashes his Conqueror's Haki, while Crimson Clown instinctively compresses his aura together and then releases it.

One is skillful control, the other is instinctive expression.

In addition, there are differences in quality.

The outcome of their collision is predictable.
