One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The crow was unaware that the conversation had already deteriorated to the point of no return.

It even shook its head to tidy up the feathers on its chest. Apart from glancing sideways, the scarecrow at its feet was no different from any other scarecrow in the field.

Bucky reached out and stroked the crow's head. The world in his eyes was hazy, and his body could split into tens of thousands of parts.

When one's mind is in such a state of division, the burden one bears is unimaginable.

But it was all worth it.

As if by magic, he pulled a fiery red bat card from among the raven's feathers in his palm.

"See, this way they've broken free of the chains."

It's two combined into one, so it's more coherent this way.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 141 The game went very smoothly.

"Are the world government's top brass always this ill-mannered?"

Bai Xing hesitated for a moment before choosing the word "well-mannered".

From her perspective, the Joker was simply extending a friendly, sweet invitation to a certain figure in the World Government for a date, but the high-ranking official on the other end of the line flew into a rage, hurling insults at her, leaving the Joker with no choice but to hang up.

However, Shirahoshi still remembered one of the characters mentioned by the Clown.

Is Im, the three-eyed beauty, still a member of the World Government?

Moreover, the clown actually used such a gentle tone to invite the other party.

This completely shattered Shirahoshi's worldview.

"I've only heard of the Five Elders. I don't know who Im is either?"

Mrs. Shirley simply shook her head at the mermaid princess's curious gaze, indicating that she knew nothing about it either.

Swann spoke up again:

“Imu is the true ruler of the World Government. We heard a Celestial Dragon mention this name in the Holy Land.”

"She sits above the Five Elders, on the Void Throne."

Swan was certainly aware of what had happened in the Holy Land, but she wasn't really sure about Bucky's claim that Im was a three-eyed beauty.

That Celestial Dragon never mentioned this.

Swann had spent some time on Fishman Island and the giant ship, so he wasn't exactly a stranger to Princess Shirahoshi.

After all, they're all part of the same gang.

Hawkins, who joined the gang earlier, often had a stern face and was not easy to approach.

"Wow, she's amazing! No wonder Lord Clown invited her to dinner."

Bai Xing's eyes widened in surprise.

"However, I've rarely heard of the Three-Eyed Clan, and she's quite a beauty."

"I've never seen it either, but if Mr. Bucky says so, it must be him."

Swan shrugged.

This is none of their business.

The two fish and one person simply started gossiping about the World Government.

After hanging up the microphone, Buubugy immediately closed his eyes.

There can be many spirits that split off from the main body, but in essence, they still use one brain.

Therefore, he needs to minimize the amount of information he needs to input.

Close your eyes, and you'll instantly enter your own mental world.

Here, the sky is dotted with something that resembles the compound eye of an insect, and a small, prismatic light screen reflects different worlds.

Tens of thousands of clowns gathered together, each clown's eyes corresponding to a light screen.

Some were engulfed in flames, others in pools of blood.

However, these worlds are constantly changing and alternating.

Naval soldiers began to appear frequently in the world of compound eyes.

"Madman, madman!"

Red Nose clutched his head and cried incessantly.

The barrage of information caused his figure to flicker incessantly, like an unstable signal.

They are all clowns, so they share the pain of countless mental breakdowns and the influx of countless pieces of information.

This split was even more complete than the one during the Battle of the Fog, and the burden was even more terrifying.

Last time, the Joker mainly focused on bewitching without intervening in the manipulation of the body, but this time, under the pre-set conditions of the Laughter Virus, he is now able to completely manipulate those he comes into contact with.

He can only do two things: split and recombine.

But on a piece of white paper that has been cut into tiny pieces, that's enough.

He doesn't even need to maintain constant contact; it's enough for him to simply draw out the cognition he wants within their fragmented cognitive framework.

To put it more vividly, the Laughter Virus first turns people into dolls, while its split spirit is like winding up a clockwork mechanism.

The dark red clown huddled in a corner.

The skin, marked with Devil Fruit patterns, was dry and wrinkled.

He endured all the side effects of the potent drug.

It doesn't last very long.

Perhaps we should go to Punk Hazard and see how Caesar's experiments are going.

Buggy has several theories about artificial Devil Fruits that are waiting to be verified.

These thoughts flashed by in the mental world, then quickly rippled out jumbled chapters beneath the iceberg of memory.

Anime characters, the scene of the execution in Roger Town, the old friend in the tight suit... the memories of the three people fly in disarray in their mental world.

After Bucky the puppet entered the mental world, all the clowns except for Red Nose and Dark Red Clown turned their gazes toward him.

The next moment, all the clowns, including the puppet clown, revealed a smile.

"The game went very smoothly."

"Our little red bat has successfully broken free of its chains. What should we do next?"

The clowns all tilted their heads, and tens of thousands of overlapping voices echoed in the space.

"Hehehe, let him taste the bitterness of loss."

The Joker's game is always open-ended.

Plans may change at any time, but one goal remains constant.

Make the world more interesting.

Let him be alone so he won't be bored.

What the world thinks is not important.

the other side.

Akainu had already learned of the Five Elders' decision through a small Den Den Mushi he always carried.

It must have been really tough on this Den Den Mushi.

Despite being encased in a glass dome, it kept sticking out its tongue, clearly because it was unbearably hot.

"What have you done now?"

Akainu's first reaction upon receiving the notification was not to start a massacre, but to look at any of the figures in front of him.

The Five Elders' decision was very irrational.

I told them a joke.

"It looks like it was quite successful."

Leaning against the corner of the wall, an elderly middle-aged man paused for a moment before looking up and replying with a smile.

The side effects of the potent drug have begun to manifest slowly.

“I could do nothing, and the drugs would kill them.”

"Wow, what a surprisingly rational choice."

"Um, I mean, for the sake of your reputation and face, are you prepared to forgo the chance to kill me?"

Bucky chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery.

Akainu is right. Once everyone is dead, Buggy won't be able to incite or infect anyone.

No matter how perfect the game design is, if it's delayed, its flaws will naturally be revealed.

But the seed in one's heart will not.

Akainu lowered his head and remained silent upon hearing this.

After a short rest, he had regained much of his strength, and the brim of his white baseball cap hung down, covering most of his face.

Including those ever-moving eyes.

Regardless of the cost or sacrifice, eradicating all evil is the ultimate justice he seeks.

The reason he coveted the marshal was simply to gain more power so that he could eradicate all evil in the world.

Now, he has a trial card that he can use to his heart's content.

Molten lava flowed down his right arm, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

Akainu tilted his head back slightly, his expression arrogant.

"With me here, we will naturally regain the face we have lost."
