One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

When they returned to Coral Hill, Shirahoshi's eyes had truly changed.

She no longer had that innocent and adorable look; a hint of coldness had crept into her eyes.

If someone familiar with him saw it, they would think that his eyes looked a bit like Bucky's.

Holding the trident left by his father, Bucky used it to stab his father to death and then casually threw it away. He preferred to use a knife.

Shirahoshi used it to stab her enemy to death.

The self that hates and seeks revenge, once accepted, is not as evil as it seems.

Instead, it made others look at her with more awe.

Her hair was still a flowing pink, but a faint smile had appeared on her face.

"Mrs. Shirley."

She bent down and greeted the owner of the Mermaid Cafe.

“Your Highness, you already have the bearing of a king.”

Mrs. Shirley noticed the change at a glance.

And he marveled at the role of guidance.

"I am not a king."

Shirahoshi replied casually, "Baki-sama is still not far away."

Hody Jon would have no trouble dealing with it at all.

When Bucky and the giant sea king appeared at the same time, the guy was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

Then Shirahoshi stabbed him with a fork.

She had to admit that when the crimson blood splattered on her, Bai Xing did feel a surge of pleasure.

The secret he had kept for so long, the hatred he had suppressed for so long, were released in an instant.

Otohime's idea of ​​not hating is essentially against one's nature.

Because Shirahoshi grew up under her care and guidance, she has a deep love for this mother.

That's why they hate each other even more.

Princess Otohime's last words made Shirahoshi suppress these feelings that she had always kept to herself, much like the suffocating feeling of being helplessly hidden inside the hard-shelled tower.

Bucky told her to accept herself.

“They are different.”

Mrs. Shirley certainly understood what Shirahoshi meant; at this moment, the only true king of Fishman Island was Buggy.

“Mr. Bucky is still human. Even if the merfolk accept his leadership, it will only be temporary.”

The royal lineage has a long history, and most mermaids and fish-people still recognize this king.

My feelings towards the Joker are more of a feigned politeness.

After all, the other party is human.

A terrifying human being.

"But what if he actually takes everyone to land?"

"Uh," Mrs. Shirley, her fins curled up, paused for a moment.

Unreachable is always in turmoil.

This statement also applies to mermaids. They neither receive respect from humans nor enjoy life on land, so they are always filled with longing and fantasies about such a life.

If Pakistan can truly lead them to establish a foothold on land, then it would be no different from founding a nation.

Will humanity abandon discrimination?

"Judging from what Lord Bucky said, it seems he has no intention of discussing it with humans."

Shirahoshi thought about what Bucky had just said, and it seemed that he hadn't mentioned anything about discussion.

Although Lord Buggy is also human, I didn't see any discrimination in his eyes, and I didn't hear any such thoughts even with my Observation Haki.

He was equally indifferent to both humans and fish-men.

But he seems to care quite a bit about himself?

Shirahoshi was a little unsure, and glanced timidly at Lord Buggy not far away.

He stood amidst the ruins left by the previous battle, with dried bloodstains at his feet.

The sunlight overhead had dimmed, and there was no light on him.

But it can capture a person's attention completely.

"I'll let you know when I have any news. Tell everyone to prepare in advance."

Shirahoshi hurriedly gave a few instructions, then thrashed around a few times to catch up with Bucky.

If you accept your hatred, you must also accept your fear.

Before the fear in her heart subsided, Shirahoshi didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Buggy.

As for what preparations to make, since we're not going to discuss it, we're going to take a hard line.

Mrs. Shirley's hand holding the pipe trembled slightly.

Are the mermaids, who have just been tormented, about to be subjected to another round of torment?

The cost of not destroying Fishman Island would be too high.

At the top of Coral Hill, a bright spot appeared on the giant ship Noah.

The fishermen are continuing their repair work day and night.

After all, with ten times the strength of a human, it's normal for them to do ten times the work.

On the bow of the ship, Vander Deiken IX was still nailed to a cross.

Hawkins watched the guy, adjusting his angle every now and then to avoid bumping into the bubbles at the edge of Fishman Island.

At the same time, we need to feed this guy every now and then to prevent him from starving to death.

Alas, that's the downside of biotechnology.

If it possessed the ability, it would be much simpler to just be an object.

Buggy is already considering whether to experiment with the separation of Devil Fruit and Devil Fruit user on Vander Decken IX.

He felt that it was quite feasible.

However, considering that I currently have no clue how to combine fruits and objects, I can only put it aside for the time being.

Vander Deiken IX escaped with his life.

I'm experiencing some writer's block and writing is a bit slow. How should I proceed with the next chapter?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 127 Image Traits

"We might be going to war again."

The mermaid, dressed in a blue bikini, muttered something under her breath.

After nearly half a month of sun exposure on Noah, her skin has turned a healthy wheat color, and muscle definition has appeared on her once smooth arms.

Miss Mermaid is working hard to repair a leak in the corner of the deck.

Eight hundred years ago, their ancestors used some unknown materials to build this ship. After eight hundred years, the hull and keel have not only not decayed but are still very sturdy.

Perhaps it's because most of the ship's hull was submerged in seawater.

It can stay dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years, and stay neither dry nor wet for half a year.

Areas outside the ship that were not submerged in seawater, such as the top deck, superstructure, and railings, have many leaks.

As a bio-driven vessel, Noah does not require masts or sails.

It is mainly divided into seven decks below deck and four decks above deck.

The ship's decks are recessed, with the top deck still about the size of the Thousand Sunny.

The overall repair work was both time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Bucky even brought in Franky from the Straw Hat crew.

As long as you pay Pele, Little Cat Burglar can sell anything now.

"Isn't that just like the legend says?"

The fish-man next to the mermaid was tall and calmly lifted a piece of wood twice the size of the mermaid.

Beauty and power—the unjust Creator often leaves room for fairness in certain places.

Every few hundred years, a mermaid princess appears on the island, capable of summoning sea kings and bringing about tremendous changes to the world.

This is a legend that has been passed down on Fishman Island.

"However, it feels a bit strange that humans are leading us to fight other humans."

After spending some time together, the mermaids' views on the fish-men changed a lot, and they began to recognize that they were one of their own.

I wonder which brilliant person came up with the idea of ​​separating fish-men and mermaids into two different habitats.

"But the land! We can go to the land, to the islands, openly and honestly!"

The mermaid's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, but her eyes held a hint of color.

The merfolk's centuries-long dedication, coupled with Queen Otohime's frequent speeches, has filled them with longing for the human world.

Just like when the mermaid Camie first set foot on Sabaody Archipelago with the Straw Hat crew.

"In the end, it's all because that human was too strong."

The merman shook his head, ignoring the mermaid's gaze.

What do you think would happen if mermaids took over an island?

When Bucky does nothing, he still looks somewhat normal.
