One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

“But even so, the truth will eventually come out, you understand, Arne? People will only crave the truth more!”

He stretched out his arms, looking incredibly proud and confident.

However, Arne knew that this guy just enjoyed the shock of spreading big news.

I heard that the World Government has been charging its member states double the Heavenly Gold under the guise of renovating and repairing the Holy Land. Those nobles are going to ruthlessly exploit the poorest people.

They've even started selling people.

However, news of the Holy Land's attack has already begun to circulate in the underworld.

Just as Morgans had initially predicted, the more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicious people became.

"Even if we can rebuild the factory, we won't be able to get the newspapers distributed around the world again. The newspaper gulls are already under the control of the world government."

The world governments' control over the media seems like a mystery.

Sometimes they can't even suppress a single unfavorable news story, and they have to negotiate with the newspaper.

Sometimes, they can even make publishing news a privilege of the Celestial Dragons.

However, the World Economic News Agency's report on the Celestial Dragons' triennial hunting activities did indeed cross their line.

They even took drastic measures against the normally neutral newspaper-delivering seagulls.

Not to mention the few of them.

If it weren't for Moria, that manic and impulsive guy, holding off the naval forces off Mystria Island, they wouldn't even have been able to do a coated dive.

"Arne, you've been by Mr. Clown's side for so long, how come your understanding is still so limited!"

Albatross straightened his tie and glanced at it with disdain.

Since the Holy Land, he has always considered himself to be the Joker's most important strategist.

"Whether it's a gull or any other bird, they are all mediums of distribution, and such mediums are not irreplaceable!"

Don't forget, this world is as vast as the sky, and so is the ocean!

"Is this why you were so determined to come to Fishman Island?"

Arne opened his mouth, realizing that Morgans's rise from a journalist to the kingpin of the underworld intelligence was truly remarkable.

Exceptional vision.

"That's right!"

Morgans let out a strange cry, his face full of confidence.

"The fish-men of this sea are also one of the best mediums; they will become our newspaper's new deliverymen."

A more elusive and skilled newspaper deliveryman than the sky's paper-carrying gulls.

"Moreover, according to the known intelligence, after a character like Mr. Joker arrived in the New World, apart from the Battle of the Fog, there were no other shocking news reports from other islands."

In addition, the location where Mr. Clown was last found was very close to the diving current.

This means that Mr. Clown must also be on Fishman Island!

There's bound to be big news where Bucky is.

In Morgans's view, this was already a law.

Al-Nai recalled what Baki had said: they don't chase news, they create it.

If Mr. Buggy were on Fishman Island, the question of whether the fishmen would accept the job of newspaper deliveryman would naturally not exist.

He believed that, given Mr. Clown's temperament, becoming a newspaper deliveryman was definitely the best way out for these fish-men.

"There's one more question."

Arne looked at the photos in the camera; in the pitch black, there seemed to be a touch of pink.

Do you think the two of us can defeat the sea monster?

Although he is now a pirate with a bounty of 50 million Berries, and although Morgans by his side has a bounty of 500 million Berries.

But that doesn't change the fact that they are actually terrible fighters.

"My luck can't be that bad, right..."

Morgans looked up and saw a light suddenly appear in the deep blue sea.

The light was as huge as a mountain, illuminating the entire darkness in an instant, causing schools of fish in the surrounding sea to flee in panic.

goo-dong-

The albatross swallowed hard, his face filled with terror.

The light that blinks and closes is clearly the eye of some kind of giant sea monster.

No, it should be sea kings.

"Quick, turn the rudder! I have a jet propeller at the stern, we can still escape!"

Morgans, who was in close contact with the message-carrying gulls, was of course aware of the existence of the Sky Island and even had reserves of its shell resources.

He steered the ship with almost all his might toward the other side of the sea king, and the Big News turned sharply in the ocean current.

The ship was rocking violently.

There seems to be someone on top of the sea king...

Arne was still a little confused about the photos he had taken.

Looking up.

The ship seemed to be suspended by something, and no matter how the rudder was turned, it did not move at all.

It even descended at a speed even more terrifying than the diving current.

Blinding sunlight shone from the deep blue seabed.

The entire body of the sea king came into view.

It was a giant eel with cow-like skin, its hill-sized eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

On the head of this eel-like sea king, sat a beautiful mermaid with long, pink, curly hair, who looked like a gentle and sweet girl.

The mermaid pouted and stuck her head into the bubble that enveloped the ship.

She tried her best to put on a fierce expression on her sweet face.

"Are you afraid of me?!"

The mermaid's face was fair and delicate, with a blush on both cheeks, coupled with her deliberately fierce expression.

So cute!

"afraid!"

As he spoke, Arne, true to his journalistic instincts, quickly snapped a few photos.

If this were to be released, the Empress's status as the world's most beautiful woman would likely be shaken.

However, considering the enormous sea king, he and Morgans feigned fear.

That's enough for Shirahoshi.

Her Observation Haki, upon hearing that the person and the bird had completely lost the courage to harm her.

Lord Buggy is right. If you fear yourself, you won't hurt yourself. If you hurt yourself, it means you're not afraid of yourself enough.

For her, a little girl who lost her mother at a young age and grew up in confinement, and who finally escaped only to face a dramatic change in the country and the death of her father in front of her.

It is important to avoid causing harm.

Only by being afraid of her enough can one feel truly safe.

"Oh, a little bird?"

She looked at the new species with curiosity, then remembered Lord Bucky's instructions and immediately pulled her head out of the bubble.

It commanded the sea kings to open their mouths.

All Alne and his men saw was a stench that filled the air, and then the entire ship was swallowed up like a dessert.

"Dead!"

This was what the two of them thought at the time.

Even now, when the two of them emerged from the mouth of the eel sea king, their faces still showed obvious horror.

how to say…

We just had a deep-sea descent.

It's already a miracle that the two of them can still stand.

Is this hell?

The albatross looked miserable.

Looking around, countless decaying shipwrecks, driven by the surging ocean currents, have piled up into the shape of a lake.

No, it should be called a cemetery.

In just one corner of the graveyard, a lion-headed pirate ship was moored.

"Looks like he's not dead."

Morgans noticed the flag on the ship.

The Straw Hat Pirates, they're hiding here!

However, the indifferent figure on the ship's side made the two feel more at ease.

Mr. Clown is here.

They definitely didn't go to the wrong place.

"Lord Bucky, is this the birdman you mentioned?"

The mermaid princess asked timidly in front of Bucky.

She wouldn't dare to speak loudly until she had made Bucky afraid of her.

"Yes, you did a great job."
