One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

However, there are hardly any slaves to be seen in Ganje City now.

They've all been sold.

This incident was actually an effect of Pakistan's bombing of the holy site.

After all, rebuilding the Holy Land required manpower, and the runaway slaves needed to be replaced. In short, the Celestial Dragons suffered losses, and then they had to make up for those losses.

For royalty, doubling the wealth from the heavens is a difficult thing, as the people below are constantly being squeezed for their own gains, and it's really hard to squeeze out as much as they can.

But if slaves could be used to replenish the supply, things would be much simpler.

Robin recently saw in the news that some countries that had implemented social isolation suddenly took back the isolated people and land, and then resold them.

For them, it's considered recycling and reuse.

However, this incident does confirm what Bucky said.

This person did indeed blow up the holy site.

That would undoubtedly be the same kind.

With that in mind, Robin's gaze fell directly on a tall tower in the southern part of Ganje City.

After entering the city, she turned her ears to places with many people.

The intelligence has been mostly gathered.

They even discovered several notorious pirates.

That guy would probably be interested in these pirates.

Robin muttered to himself, his figure quickly disappearing back into the shadows of the corner.

heat.

The surging heat came from all sides, as if throwing people into a kang (a heated brick bed) to bake them.

Akvi lay inside the burrow, rolling around from time to time.

It was trying to let the ground absorb the heat from its body.

"Has the navy left?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, he asked again through a small opening in the cave.

Akwi was Aaron's neighbor.

The city dwellers viewed these outsiders as prey to be caught, and naturally, they had their own ways of surviving.

Beneath the seemingly unremarkable red brick houses, there are underground caves similar to the one Akvi is currently in.

They also dug out a narrow path for communication.

The news of the navy's arrival was reported by villagers near the village entrance not long ago.

But at this moment, Akvi felt unbearably hot, and his lips and tongue turned white.

"No, no, just bear with it a little longer, we can't let the navy find out."

A faint response came from inside the passageway.

The navy stands with the royal family, treating them no differently than prey.

If you encounter pirates, it's alright; at most, you can hand over all your valuables to save your life.

But if they encounter the navy or slave traders, they have no choice in the matter.

"Damn it, why is it so hot!"

Akvi leaned against the cave wall, which should have been cold and damp, with his old fur coat still lying on the ground.

Now he's kicked them all aside, and they're completely naked.

He panted for a while longer, and no more sweat dripped from his face; instead, bitter, salty crystals appeared.

"No, I can't hold on any longer!"

Even so, it's better than dying from the heat!

Moreover, Akvi didn't want to die in such an unclear and ambiguous way.

There was no sound response from the long, narrow pipe.

The cave is shaped like the number seven, with an opening at the end of the number seven that connects to the top.

To ensure sufficient concealment, the opening in Akvi's hole was only wide enough for one person to jump straight up and down.

There was also a yellowish-brown stone slab on top.

He pushed the stone slab aside and poked his head out.

There were no walls in front of the house anymore; flames swirled everywhere, and thick lava dripped from the roof.

Outside the house.

The dark red lava had overwhelmed anything orderly, and boiling bubbles burst and rose again.

"hell!"

Akvi only managed to utter that one word before his whole body suddenly burst into flames.

All flammable materials were ignited in this rolling red sea.

In this Red Sea, only two figures remained standing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Is this your version of justice?

Sweat streamed down Bucky's face, soaking his already disheveled hair and dissolving the pale paint on his face.

In addition, there are eyes with red background and white pupils.

It really feels like a hellish demon.

"Look at what your justice has protected."

"Compared to all this," Akainu said without the slightest change in expression, "killing you is the only way to uphold justice!"

His right hand clenched into a fist, transforming into rolling lava, like a vicious dog with a gaping maw, rushing towards us in an instant.

"Wow, a true champion of justice, I admire your resolve."

The clown neither dodged nor avoided the attack; he even let out a chuckle.

Compared to people who claim to be righteous, what's most interesting about Akainu is that he possesses the iron will of a soldier.

His justice is not about protecting, but about eliminating all evil, even if it means destroying justice itself in the process.

"But do you know what you are in my eyes?"

He also threw a punch.

The dark red clown was dragged out of the mental world by him, and dark red flames faintly swirled around his body.

In addition, the boost from the deadly drug ES.

To put it bluntly, this is the strongest combat power he has been able to display in this world up to now.

Even though his lifespan is constantly decreasing, Bucky feels it's all worth it.

After all, his opponent is Akainu.

Moreover, the exhilarating battle was constantly stimulating his senses, and the smile on his face showed no sign of stopping.

The black fist collided with the lava, and as it turned red-hot, the dog's head formed from the lava was split into three pieces.

"Like a chained house dog."

"It only dares to bark wildly at people outside."

Buggy flashed and appeared in front of Akainu, then pushed him away with both hands.

His domineering aura transformed into an invisible shockwave, instantly piercing through Akainu's molten lava body.

"My feet walk alone in the air!"

Sentomaru lay on the edge of the battlefield, his expression suddenly filled with horror.

"This guy actually learned it! Luckily I didn't really mess with him!"

Compare the two moves that Bucky just used against him with the ones he's using now.

The other party didn't just let us off easy, they let us off the hook.

He was well aware of the gap between himself and Akainu.

But now Buggy is able to go toe-to-toe with Akainu.

A sudden feeling of relief washed over me.

Men who keep their mouths shut are sure to have good luck.

"Let me help you unlock these chains, shall we?"

Buggy pressed his advantage relentlessly. After Akainu's body was destroyed by Solo Ashiku, Buggy unleashed the dark lines that pressed down with terrifying pressure.

He had even tried to wrap the lines around the knife to achieve a binding effect.

But one of them will eventually break.

Either his hand is broken, or his knife is broken.

However, this doesn't stop him from using this power as a debuff against the enemy.

This is the only effect of the Demon Aura or Conqueror's Haki at this stage.

Then, the pitch-black fist rose and slammed down.

In the brief moment of contact with Akainu, the molten lava was instantly broken into more than ten parts by the ability to shatter into pieces.

Like cement that has lost its support, it cascades down with a whoosh.

The white coat of justice was burned to ashes by the flames.

The scorching heat washed away the paint on Bucky's face with his sweat, and even the lipstick on his lips cracked, revealing the festering flesh underneath.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, as if he had smashed Akainu's body to pieces in just a few moves.
