One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Do mental hospitals even exist in this world?

"The game is very simple."

Bucky clapped his hands, preparing to announce their gang's next move.

Because it was just a small diversion, he didn't intend to take on everything himself. It was quite interesting to see madness in others.

"Our lovely fish-men are getting rather stifled in this dark seabed, and they are beginning to yearn for the earth and the sunlight."

Princess Shirahoshi peeked out, neither confirming nor denying.

Having grown accustomed to life on Fishman Island, her longing for the earth and sunlight had long since taken root under Queen Otohime's deliberate guidance.

"So I decided to help them fulfill this dream."

He rested his chin on one hand, as if he were saying he was going to help an old lady cross the street.

However, the reality is pretty much the same.

After helping the old lady up, he would also give her an AK and a bundle of detonators, and then point to the buildings under the Stars and Stripes in the city center and say, "Either you go and blow that up, or I'll lay you flat in the middle of the road."

"That means we need to find an island."

Morgans seemed to be deep in thought.

In the New World waters closest to Fishman Island, although there are many scattered islands such as Food Valten Island, the larger islands are mainly Raijin Island, Ridgitchide Island, and Mysteria Island.

These are also the three initial islands that the New World Pointer will guide you to.

Among them, Thunder Island is considered the most dangerous.

They had previously dived after coating the surface of Mystre Island.

"Raygod Island is said to be dangerous, but it's really just that the climate is dangerous and it's not suitable for human habitation, so no one occupies it. Reed Kirade Island used to be Whitebeard's territory, but it has now been taken over by Kaido. The Moon Guardian Kingdom on Mysteria Island is a member state of the World Government and is adjacent to the Navy's G-3 branch."

On an uninhabited island, the climate is the danger; on an inhabited island, the clown is the danger.

Morgans thought Mr. Bucky would definitely choose one of the latter two islands.

Neither the flag of the Four Emperors nor the flag of the Navy can protect them.

"By the way, the Navy has already assembled its forces on Mystria Island and even recruited coating craftsmen. It seems they've figured you're on Fishman Island."

If even Morgans and his group could guess this, the World Government and the Navy couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

However, the main reason they haven't come looking for trouble with Bucky so far is that they're worried about a repeat of the Battle of the Fog.

The Navy can't afford a second time.

"Let's draw lots to choose one."

Bucky wasn't in a hurry; there was still a lot of preparation work to be done on Fishman Island.

For example, Noah's renovation and Morgans' newspaper delivery plan.

Another example is the production of Pakistani bombs.

To make the game more enjoyable, he transformed Big Mom's Pirates' dessert factory into a bomb factory.

The ability to split is there, so this isn't a problem.

Morgans secretly rolled his eyes.

This is an attempt to seize the island, and you're even drawing lots? Do you think this is child's play?

However, considering this person's personality, drawing lots is quite reasonable.

It's unclear whether the Beasts Pirates or the Marines will be the ones to suffer.

The dignified mermaid princess could only cower in the back, listening as this human decided the future of their fish-man island.

Moreover, this human was her father's killer.

I feel so wronged, so incredibly wronged!

One day!

We must make sure that when this clown sees Princess Shirahoshi, he looks terrified!

When I get back, I'll put on makeup similar to his.

She felt that the clown's makeup was partly responsible for making people so afraid.

Oh, and the hair too. Pink hair doesn't seem too scary.

The reporter was quite amazed when he saw his own hair.

Shirahoshi's mind was filled with thoughts of how to scare the Joker.

"By the way, do you still hold a grudge against that murderer?"

Bucky turned his head and spoke to Princess Shirahoshi.

"The murderer? No, no, I wouldn't hold a grudge against Lord Buggy!"

Bai Xing's face turned deathly pale. She thought that Bucky had sensed her inner thoughts, and her eyes immediately reddened.

"Well, I sincerely suggest that you should hate me."

It would be even better if you could provide some entertainment.

After all, he planned to take these murlocs to the Holy Land later.

Bucky had a mocking smile on his face, as if he genuinely hoped that Princess Shirahoshi would rise up one day and then stab him to death.

But the more he looked like that, the more timid Bai Xing appeared.

"Don't be so serious, my princess."

I'm here to help you get revenge. Remember the fishman who killed your mother?

After the events that followed, Shirahoshi's views have undergone a significant change.

But the only thing she lacked was that she had never killed anything with her own hands.

"My mother told me not to hate the murderer."

"But can you do it?"

Bucky's hands floated up and tugged at the corners of Shirahoshi's mouth.

"So, my lovely princess, can you really let go of that hatred?"

For some reason, every time Shirahoshi hears Buggy's words, she feels like they are drilling into her brain.

It was more than ten times more impactful than my mother's speeches.

With just two sentences, he managed to pry open half of Bai Xing's heart.

If she could truly let go, she wouldn't keep dwelling on it.

"Imagine your life before the Hody Jones attacks. What would it be like if the Hody Jones attacks hadn't happened?"

This hypothesis is very tempting.

Bucky turned around and his head flew in front of Shirahoshi.

"Then nothing you want to see will happen."

Your mother will be there as usual, telling you and the merfolk about the beauty of the human world in the square. Occasionally, she'll cry her eyes out, and Vander Deiken IX won't bother you.”

His captivating descriptions easily sparked people's imaginations.

Especially for Shirahoshi, a girl who has actually been hurt.

Childhood memories suddenly came flooding back.

Tears started streaming down my face.

"Don't hate the murderer, but you must learn to accept yourself."

Accept your own feelings.

Bucky concluded in the most conciliatory tone.

Shirahoshi is not a saint like Otohime; she can hate, feel fear, and be heartbroken.

All you need to do is evoke her emotions.

Bai Xing pouted, and after a few tears fell, she stopped crying.

She has grown a lot since then.

But she still couldn't quite understand what Bucky-sama meant by accepting her.

What kind of self do you accept?

Is it the version of yourself that cries easily and hates the murderer?

Bucky didn't rush Shirahoshi to do anything; letting her think about it herself actually had a better effect.

Because I was just telling the truth.

Revenge will make this girl truly mature.

This is not cruel; it is immense mercy.

This also means that Queen Otohime's education of Shirahoshi will be completely wasted.

This is actually a good thing for her.

Bucky could not hide Hody Jon's location on Fishman Island from him.

Or perhaps this guy never even considered that Bucky saw him as a catalyst.

They are still on the old site of Fishman Street.

The Great White Shark Man kept his head down, his expression unchanged.

He felt for a moment that it was a great disgrace to have a human lead the merfolk.

But this human actually killed most of the other human pirates, did something he couldn't possibly do, and fulfilled the mission he claimed he was born to have.

Even the former officers of the New Fishman Pirates joined their ranks.

This made him, the regimental commander, extremely embarrassed.

They just didn't notice that in the neighboring Sea Forest, a girl holding a trident had just learned to accept herself.
