One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

On the exposed wrist of the left hand, there is a prismatic shard of glass.

She neatly cut her waist-length hair at the nape of her neck.

She held a long, smooth lock of hair in her hand, as smooth as a ponytail.

He handed it to Bucky.

"Swan, my name is Swan."

This is her pledge of allegiance.

Chapter 17 Heartbreaking

"This is the real news!"

Charles Lang, the head of the World Economic News Agency's branch office, looked at a stack of scattered photos and slammed his hands heavily on his desk.

What is news?

Human auction venue.

Human trafficking.

slave.

These things wouldn't even be considered news in the Sabaody Archipelago.

This is just their daily routine!

What truly embodies the news is another piece of information revealed in the photograph.

The Navy is attacking a human auction house.

How strange!

This is real news!

"Okay."

"If you had come a while earlier, the news would have been all about the Straw Hat Pirates at Enies Lobby, and it probably wouldn't have been so popular."

"We're here now, since the Enies Lobby incident happened not long ago, we can ride the wave of its popularity!"

What is the lifeblood of news...?

Timeliness.

Even the most explosive and shocking news will become commonplace after a short period of time.

People won't realize the impact until it reaches their immediate surroundings.

So that's what happened.

Charles Lang is definitely a qualified veteran journalist; he could see the enormous value behind such news at a glance.

more importantly,

It's exclusive to me!

It's the latest!

These two are the lifeblood of the newspaper industry.

The same applies to Charles Lang, who can even imagine how long the whole incident had passed when the residents of Sabaody Archipelago saw such news.

Six hours, or seven hours?

I need to shorten this time as much as possible!

Charles Lang decided to take matters into his own hands, quickly writing the headline of this issue of the daily newspaper on a blank sheet of paper with a quill pen.

"A just response: the Navy announces the emancipation of slaves!"

What, you're saying the Navy never said that?

that's not important.

Charles Lang's goal is to grab people's attention the moment they see the headline.

Bucky felt that the whole incident, no, the whole game, was something else entirely.

This is just the beginning.

About an hour ago, which was four hours after I ransacked the house.

The Den Den Mushi in his hand rang incessantly, as if it had been bombarded.

The first call came from the commander of the 66th base, who was also his direct superior, Major General Sicily.

"Where are you now?"

The Den Den Mushi's simulated expression was full of frost.

"Number 4?"

"No, it should be Area 1."

"The scenery here is really beautiful."

Paki was in no hurry, and even prepared to share the scenery of the Sabaody Archipelago with this officer he had never met before.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Major General Sicily clenched his fist tightly.

Who knows how much pressure he's under!

Before the call was even made, the communications room in the base was filled with the gurgling sound of Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices).

First, there were the nobles living on the island, whose families held positions in the World Government to varying degrees.

He immediately launched into a tirade of scolding.

They called him a Sicilian who crossed the river and then burned the bridge!

They want it and they don't want it!

They clearly agreed not to interfere in what was happening in areas 1-30, but then they turned around and sent a naval force there.

They even brazenly engaged in extortion!

So, your navy's got a hard time now, ready to rise up?

Are you really going to carry out that bullshit justice on your clothes to the very end?

Pooh!

Don't you even know who's feeding you dog food?!

Even a clay figure has a certain fire.

Moreover, Sicily is a naval rear admiral.

He immediately launched into a furious exchange of words with these noble officials, lasting three hundred rounds.

It wasn't until Diouf rushed over to inform him of the situation that he understood.

He then understood.

This is bad news.

There really are troublemakers in my own base who do such heinous things as liberating slaves.

But when he was preparing to handle it secretly, to downplay the seriousness of the matter and make it disappear completely.

The phone rang from headquarters.

There was more than one person who came.

Right off the bat is the imposing Admiral Akainu, Lord Sakazuki.

He was particularly praised for his approach to upholding absolute justice.

The only criticism is, why not just burn down the auction venue instead of letting those reporters take pictures?

Doesn't this damage the reputation of justice?

To be honest, it is quite rare to receive praise from His Excellency Sakazuki.

Not to mention Major General Sicily, even many lieutenant generals don't get a good look from Sakassky.

But the problem is, this wasn't something he, Sicily, did!

Having been stationed at the 66th District base for so many years, if he wanted to eliminate the population auction, he would have done so long ago.

The question is, can it be swept up?

Is that something a mere major general like him could sweep away?

Sure enough, following Sakassky's call came a long string of accusatory calls.

There are lieutenant generals from the New World G-series branch.

There were also lieutenant generals under the command of the headquarters.

He didn't even have time to answer the major general's call.

After enduring an incredibly agonizing hour of being both scolded and praised, he finally had time to call Bucky.

In fact, even he himself didn't know how to handle this matter.

That's not quite right.

It's perfectly justified for them to wear that navy uniform while carrying out justice.

But to say he's right?

Sicily felt that she would be transferred to the East China Sea at the latest the day after tomorrow.

The world government's control over the navy is no joke.

This was actually an oversight by Bucky.

He forgot.
