One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

This is why he offered to use his own heart as collateral.

This research institute must be deeply involved with the Don Quixote family, and may even be a branch of the Don Quixote family!

Of the artificial Devil Fruits still circulating in the underworld, aside from those in Kaido's possession, Doflamingo is basically the only one still selling them.

Luo also found his way here through this clue.

"exchange…"

With his swift, decisive strokes, he removed both his own and Monet's hearts.

Two bright red, still pulsating, fleshy blood pumps.

"One last question."

Both hearts floated in Luo's hands, and he looked up at Caesar.

"The clown is coming, aren't you afraid?"

Caesar's bounty is 300 million Berries.

The Joker is worth three billion Berries.

This is still based on the premise that the World Government believes that this guy is dead, after all, judging from the live broadcast at the time, Akainu was completely insane.

The difference is quite obvious.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Caesar grinned slyly, "Why be afraid of something we already know in advance?"

Perhaps it was that bright red, beating heart that made Caesar feel that Luo's sincerity was sufficient.

He arrogantly said:

"Do you know what those guys in the World Government call me? The Supreme Authority on Weapons of Mass Destruction."

"Supreme authority, do you understand?"

The heart belonging to Luo slowly floated into Caesar's hand.

"I've replaced the gas grenades the patrol team was carrying with the more lethal KORO gas, a type of killing gas that spreads rapidly once released!"

"Even a clown would be helpless against such poison gas, whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

Caesar couldn't wait to see the look of shock and fear on Law's face. So what if he was a pirate with a 3 billion bounty? He could only die in the face of his poison gas!

That's the destructive power of a scientist!

In his moment of triumph, he lowered his head again.

He revealed an exceptionally sinister smile.

"Moreover, this is only the first step."

"The clown wants to play a game with the clown!"

"This is really something to look forward to."

"Yes, I think so too."

Upon hearing the words, Caesar responded in kind.

But when he looked up, he saw Luo and Monet's strange looks.

He slowly turned his head.

A human head.

His face was as pale as his, though there were traces of paint on it; his eyes were deep-set, and his red nose was round and prominent.

The corners of her mouth, painted with red lipstick, were stretched high, and the erosions on both sides were clearly visible.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Your talent for telling jokes is probably better than mine."

"real."

Bucky tilted his head.

"No one laughed when I told jokes... well, they all lay there peacefully."

But you're different. Look, I'm smiling happily.

Look at you, even your expression is so funny.

Caesar's grin froze, his teeth showing, his facial muscles contorted, and his eyes squinted.

He is not afraid because he does not need to come into contact with the clown.

But the clown looks different on his face.

Monet reacted even faster than him.

Her wings, which had been folded, suddenly opened with a whoosh, like the wings of an angel fallen to earth, as she spun and flapped.

"Snow Rabbit!"

The tips of its wings flung out countless snowballs shaped like rabbits, which, driven by the rotation of the wings, gained kinetic energy like bullets.

"It seems our beauty in feathered robes is a little unhappy."

Bucky laughed and joked, not taking the attack seriously.

The snowball split into more than a dozen pieces just upon contact with itself.

"Beauty...are you talking about me?"

Monet suddenly lowered his head, folding his wings to hide the corners of his mouth that were secretly pleased.

Although I know I shouldn't, someone said I'm a beauty in feathered robes!

I'm so happy!

"What are you being so shy about!"

Caesar couldn't help but make a comment.

He realized what was happening, clenched his fists, and then opened his arms.

"A world without emptiness!"

An invisible mass of air swept across the surrounding area.

"Whoosh! I am a Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit user, capable of creating a vacuum field. Within this field, no one but me can breathe!"

The professional instincts of a Caesar researcher kicked in, and he couldn't help but offer an explanation.

"That's interesting. It's very convenient for creating a vacuum environment."

"That's right, that's right, many studies require establishing a vacuum environment."

“We also need to be careful during the synthesis process, but using fruit abilities for splitting and recombination will make it much easier.”

"That's what I think too. The Op-Op Fruit and the Chop-Chop Fruit are both very useful!"

"Your abilities are also quite good. You were able to continuously compress the H2S gas, and the final effect was excellent. I could still smell that pungent odor from outside the island."

"That's right, that's right!"

"... "

Caesar felt like he was back in the days when he worked with the MADS guys; they got along very well with each other.

His excitement intensified, especially after learning that the clown, like himself, was a poison gas enthusiast.

A while later.

He then realized that Law and Monet, who were standing nearby, had both fainted, while the Joker acted as if nothing had happened.

"How come you're alright?!"

Bucky tilted his head, not wanting to answer such a stupid question.

If someone is here, can't they just breathe fresh air 200 meters away?

Organs are not such inconvenient things!

Fortunately, Caesar realized that while they could get along well, their positions were completely different.

"Gas lasso!"

After releasing the void world, he took a few steps back and moved towards Monet and Luo.

Another ring of solidified gas condensed and landed on Bucky's head like a ring toss.

"What a pity, I thought you already understood your situation."

Bucky shook his head.

After the body was pieced together, a finger lightly touched the lasso, and the physical Waston was divided into more than a dozen pieces.

He paced gently, and the dark lines silently appeared.

A dark red shadow appeared behind him.

The shadows were filled with a pair of extremely hungry and almost manic eyes.

The demon's arrogant and insane aura descended.

Fear began to take hold of the three of them.

If I had to put it in words, it was a bit like being electrocuted.

"Next, let's continue talking about the games the Joker wants to play with the Joker."

"Well, if that beautiful woman in feathered robes doesn't mind, could I make a phone call with that guy?"

Beneath the madness of the dark red shadow, Bucky's eyes held a playful yet indifferent gaze.

Monet is a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit user, so naturally she wouldn't be that fragile.

"dream!"

Even if you praise me like this, I will never betray the young master!

Monet recovered from his fainting spell, took a deep breath, and his skin returned to its snow-white base color.

However, beneath her snow-white cheeks, there was a hint of blush.
