One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The young man opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.

The Den Den Mushi in my arms rang and rang.

The younger brother answered the call in a daze.

Then they saw the Den Den Mushi's face transform into that of a man they greatly respected.

"Your Excellency!"

The younger brother immediately retrieved his soul.

The face that the Den Den Mushi mimicked was none other than Kaido, the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors!

An arrogant disdain for all living beings arises spontaneously.

"Where's Quinn? Have you guys left Fishman Island yet?"

Kaido's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

One of the Flying Six was lost for no reason, and Quinn's gang, who should have left long ago, has yet to depart.

He still needed Queen to keep an eye on the matter of artificial Devil Fruits.

Doflamingo has been causing quite a few trouble lately.

"No, no!"

The younger brother answered with a look of fear.

"What's going on? Did Shanks attack you?"

Upon hearing the reply, Kaido initially wanted to reprimand him, but then remembered the existence of the Red-Haired Pirates, so he asked a question first.

"No, no, Shanks and the others have already left Fishman Island."

The Beasts Pirates, who were guarding the entrance, didn't dare to stop them.

"If you don't have one, leave quickly! The navy is gathering again, and they've even recruited coating craftsmen."

Kaido spoke calmly, without reprimanding, yet his words instilled a deep fear in his underlings.

"It's a clown. A clown, along with the fishmen and that woman Smoothie, have teamed up to hunt us."

They even used red bean soup to make Boss Quinn lose his mind.

By the way, Your Excellency, it seems that Boss Quinn was just kidnapped by a big red tongue!

Kaido: "?"

Please vote for me!

Double monthly passes are available until the 7th, don't miss it!

Chapter 122 The Dust Settles

Ghost Island.

Kaido put down the Den Den Mushi with a suspicious look, then glanced at the gourd of sake beside him.

It shook, and the drink made a clanging sound.

"I didn't drink that much today."

I didn't drink too much, but the news I heard was so outrageous!

How could that woman Smoothie team up with the clown and the fishman to hunt down his top lieutenant?

Have you lost your mind?!

Kaido doubted he had heard correctly. What big tongue? What kind of giant beast could swallow Queen?

Sea Kings?

Even if Kaido were to send someone to meet him at a depth of 10,000 meters, it wouldn't be easy.

Never mind, that guy's tough skin and flesh, he won't die so easily.

Kaido shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

He suddenly thought of how he felt when Quinn died.

But that clown

After crying for a while, Kaido wiped away his tears and then grabbed something from under his buttocks.

A brand new bounty poster was stuck to his finger.

It was none other than the $3 billion bounty on Bucky's head.

"The price has risen way too fast!"

He muttered a couple of words, exhaled softly, and his two long, dragon-like whiskers began to sway freely.

Kaido started as an apprentice crew member in the Rocks Pirates and sailed the seas for decades before finally reaching his current bounty of 4.611 billion Berries.

How long has Bucky been using it?

"Where are my intelligence agents?!"

He pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up and roared, causing the entire ghost island to tremble.

Apoo rushed to Kaido and knelt down on one knee.

The man before him, who resembled a savage behemoth, exerted immense pressure on him.

The size difference between the two is like that between a giant beast and an ordinary person.

Cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.

"Tell me about that clown you mentioned last time."

He gulped down another mouthful of wine.

His tone seemed casual, but his fierce aura remained undiminished.

Although Ap had only recently joined his ranks, he was indeed skilled at gathering intelligence and had been appointed as an intelligence specialist.

Their status seems similar to that of mid-level fighters, but in Kaido's mind, they are on the same level as the Flying Six.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Apu responded honestly, without trying to rhyme.

After being beaten, he learned to behave himself.

He'd been hearing a lot about Bucky the Clown lately, and after a moment's thought, he replied:

"Buggy the Clown first appeared on Sabaody Archipelago when he publicly kidnapped a Celestial Dragon. However, before that, he had been captured by the Navy but escaped from the prison ship, so the Navy put a bounty of 200 million Berries on his head."

Whitebeard said he was a kid on Roger's ship, which suggests that the other person must have been an apprentice on Roger's crew alongside Shanks.

"I know that."

Kaido flicked the bounty poster off his finger, on which Buggy's smiling face looked particularly mocking.

During the Marineford War, everyone's attention was focused there, and he naturally remembered Bucky.

At that time, I just thought the other person was exceptionally crazy.

Kaido himself has courted death many times, but he has always managed to do so with great care.

For example, they wouldn't let themselves drown, nor would they specifically target the Celestial Dragons, as that would incur the World Government's furious retaliation.

But that was enough for him to earn the reputation of being the strongest creature.

The clear liquor dripped down his beard, and Kaido merely raised his eyes, signaling Apoo to continue.

"And when the other party reappeared, it was already in the New World. I saw it with my own eyes. The Navy dispatched more than ten warships and several vice admirals to capture them!"

Ap's news differs somewhat from the World Government's own publicly released information.

However, it's normal for world governments to cover up their own scars.

Interestingly, the clown suddenly traveled from the Sabaody Archipelago to the New World without even passing Fishman Island.

"You mean, the Joker entered the New World through the Holy Land?"

“Yes.” Ap nodded and simply voiced his inner guess.

"Before the Battle of the Fog, the World Economic News Agency published a newspaper, but before it could spread much, the entire agency was shut down by the World Government. Even Morgans disappeared without a trace. This guy had worked with the Joker when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago."

Therefore, I deduce that the Joker must have done something or taken something from the Holy Land to warrant such a urgency from the World Government.

"That's interesting."

Kaido muttered a few words with a straight face. Although he still couldn't explain why such a change had occurred on Fishman Island, it did pique his interest in the clown.

A guy who's crazy enough, but also quite capable.

Kaido immediately had the idea of ​​recruiting him.

Unlike Big Mom, who is obsessed with building Whole Cake Island, Kaido is very proactive in expanding his own power.

He greatly appreciates talent and also enjoys recruiting it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have teamed up with that guy Tenyasha to research artificial Devil Fruits, and even preemptively recruited the newly emerging Supernovas into their ranks.

"I need to figure out a way to make this guy submit to me."

He said in a calm voice.

Ban Su's face revealed an expression that left no room for argument.

Ap lowered his head and pondered for a while, then tentatively said:

"The navy is also hunting this clown, Your Excellency. Could we give him a hand, corner him, and then you make your appearance..."

"Cooperating with the Navy?"

Kaido frowned.

"It's not a collaboration, just a coincidence. The Navy probably knows that the Joker is on Fishman Island, otherwise they wouldn't have recruited the coating craftsmen."

That's a reasonable explanation.
