One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Is the leverage over someone?

His mind works very quickly.

His men showed no sign of stopping their attacks.

He still remembers the grudge from the red bean soup incident.

"Wind Fist!"

He seized an opportunity and rushed in front of Smoothie.

The Brachiosaurus swung its metal braid-like mechanical claws and launched a fierce attack on Smoothie with its right mechanical arm.

ding ding ding-

The clanging of metal continued unabated, and Smoothie wielded a greatsword twice the height of a normal human with effortless ease.

With her feet firmly planted on the ground, constantly drawing out moisture, her figure appeared much larger.

Her expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, her eyes conveying calmness and indifference, even as the sparks from the mechanical claws clashing with the greatsword were right before his eyes.

Behind the main hall, not far from the battlefield between Smoothie and Quinn.

Princess Shirahoshi, with her flowing pink hair, looked timid.

Black smoke, carrying flames, enveloped her delicate, pink face.

I couldn't help but choke a couple of times.

But the hand holding someone dared not shake it much.

"Can I really?"

She still found it hard to imagine that the monster-like guy would be afraid of her.

I'm actually quite afraid of the other person.

Without Buggy's approval, Shirahoshi might not have dared to attack such a ruthless pirate.

"You can back out if you want."

Bucky sat casually on her palm, showing no change in expression at Smoothie's delay.

Anyway, he never intended to let them go.

With the Navy, the World Government, and two Emperors, it's no wonder he spent so much time and effort teaching the princess.

He smiled faintly and said, "If there are things you don't dare to do, then you have to learn to endure being bullied."

"You only get one chance to play the game, I won't wait for you."

Bucky's smile was slightly sinister, and he didn't hesitate to put pressure on Shirahoshi.

Both of them could easily detect the battle between Smoothie and Queen outside the wall, thanks to their Observation Haki.

Of course, Smoothie was not unaware of their existence.

"Give me back my red bean soup, you stinking woman!"

Quinn growled, and suddenly another red beam bomb shot out from his eyes.

The first two shots hit Smoothie.

She held her greatsword horizontally, taking the brunt of the bomb's damage, the shockwave beneath the black smoke leaving her body covered in wounds.

But in the last two shots, Quinn suddenly turned his head.

The beam bomb headed directly towards Shirahoshi.

Who cares what dirt he has on him? Quinn isn't afraid of this clown who has no track record.

The wall collapsed with a loud crash.

The white star's delicate face was also smeared with black smoke.

Smoothie saw this opportunity.

If the clown is in Shirahoshi's hands, then cut off her hand with a single sword stroke.

She could tell which was more important, an arm or an island.

A purple slash suddenly lashed out at the clown.

At the same time, he flashed and headed towards Bai Xing's arm.

"That's the right response."

Bucky grinned, unsurprised by Smoothie's reaction.

If unruly pirates were so easy to obey, the Navy wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

"But our mermaid princess has only just begun to understand, so please don't be so cruel."

His mocking and playful tone made it sound as if he were some kind of villain who had corrupted good people into depravity.

Of course, none of them were good people.

Pirates, you know.

A small knife emerged from the palm of his right hand; he had stored many of these in his body, so they wouldn't get in the way.

The knife was thrown out with a snap.

A white, crescent-shaped slash shot out.

"A swordsman?"

Smoothie muttered to herself, completely surprised that the Joker possessed such power.

When fighting Jinbe, he mainly demonstrated his physical strength.

The slash came straight at her, and from an exceptionally tricky angle.

It was like a slash from a scimitar.

After drawing a line in the air, it suddenly lunged at Smoothie's face.

Helpless, she could only raise her sword to block the attack.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Bucky holding a knife, blocking the slash with a similar move to hers.

The difference is that she uses a greatsword, while Bucky uses a small knife that's no bigger than the palm of his hand.

But her dazzling slash was unable to advance in front of the dagger.

The series of attacks happened almost in the blink of an eye.

However, Shirahoshi's Observation Haki allows her to clearly perceive the perilous scene she has just experienced.

Putting everything else aside, at least for this moment, the clown protecting her made her lean towards him.

Laser beams were gathering again in Quinn's mouth.

But then came a loud "Wow!"

White Star's call is clear and melodious.

Like a regional broadcast targeting a specific channel, it travels extremely far in an instant.

The sea kings circling outside Fishman Island were also excited.

Their king has finally contacted them again.

There are still things they need to do.

This was the first time the sea kings had heard Poseidon give such a clear command.

A giant, fish-shaped sea king with toad-like skin let out a gurgling sound.

A bright red tongue, as red as a sheer cliff, suddenly shot out.

From the deep blue sea, outside the bubbles of Fishman Island, it bounced into Fishman Island.

From Bucky's perspective, they felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression coming from above.

The red mountain pillar suddenly fell.

But then it suddenly stopped a meter or two above the white star's head, and then stuck out a big tongue from inside the red mountain pillar.

The surface of its tongue is covered with suckers that resemble octopus tentacles.

He immediately stuck to the burly Quinn.

Then I heard a slurp.

The once enormous Brachiosaurus was suddenly reduced to a tiny speck of dust.

"Sea King!"

Smoothie's heart sank; she knew that her worst fears had come true.

Unlike her previous coerced state, Shirahoshi has become much more adept at controlling her abilities.

If the former White Star was merely an accidental, high-powered weapon still under control, then the current White Star, completely brainwashed by the Joker, has become a nuclear bomb capable of instilling fear and dread.

In particular, the switch for this nuclear bomb is held by a madman.

Then she met the beautiful, youthful princess who wielded terrifying power.

She pouted, her eyes were red as if she was about to cry, but her expression seemed to say, "Are you afraid of me?"

on the square.

Quinn's underlings had only just assembled their men.

"Is that our boss up there?"

"Seems to be."

They looked up, their faces filled with indescribable horror.

It's like suddenly seeing a mountain collapse, only to discover that the mountain was actually the tongue of some creature—a truly terrifying experience.

Beside him was Kidd, who was shackled with sea stone shackles but had an arrogant look on his face.

You want me to deal with this thing?

Kidd, with his spiky red hair, turned his head, looking incredulous.
