One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

You are a clown, and so are you.

But everyone else has already shown their faces, and you're still sending people over there!

Then you can't blame Caesar for prioritizing his own survival.

However, he didn't understand the Joker's stance and attitude. If he rashly surrendered, he might end up pleasing neither side and ultimately lose his freedom.

Therefore, Caesar tended to go far away on his own.

Although the research institute has been lost, with his own abilities and the results of artificial Devil Fruits, there is nowhere he cannot go in the vast ocean.

"Navy, you'll cover me."

Caesar chuckled, then shifted his gaze to another intruder in the surveillance footage.

A rear admiral with short silver hair.

Smoker.

He got the clue from those centaurs.

Unexpectedly, such a well-preserved research institute remains on the research island that should have been abandoned.

The closed door posed no obstacle to him, and the smoke made it easy for him to sneak inside.

They continued deeper into the pipe.

Punk Hazard was originally the territory of the Navy, and Smoker had already looked at the map of the island before landing.

This naturally includes several research institutes.

Therefore, his goal is very clear.

Main control room.

That's the core of the entire research institute!

However, the other party seemed to have been prepared as well.

A pale purple toxic mist suddenly sprayed out of the pipe.

It looks like some kind of rat poison.

Originally intended to target rats and insects that infiltrate pipes, Caesar modified it to be perfect for dealing with Smoker.

Smoker's expression turned serious, and he exhaled a puff of smoke.

Then his entire body turned into smoke and rose up.

"White Gale!"

A white mist swept through the pipe.

Apart from the toxic fog, there seemed to be no other obstructions in the pipes.

the other side.

Buggy has already eaten eight or nine artificial Devil Fruits. Even if the value of an artificial Devil Fruit is half that of a normal Devil Fruit, it's still like eating several Caesars in one go.

Caesar's bounty is 300 million Berries.

The demon clown inside him quickly went from shriveled to full, and even had a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Now, we can go see a good show."

"Let's go to the control room."

"Yes." Monet lowered his head slightly.

“The regular passages leading to the main control point have all been rigged by Caesar, but in this research institute, my authority is higher than his.”

A smug smile appeared on her face.

As Caesar's only secretary, she was in charge of arranging many things in the research institute, and one could even say she was more familiar with them than Caesar himself.

When the two arrived at the control room.

It was filled with white smoke.

Caesar's sinister laughter could also be heard from within.

"Whoosh, Major General, you don't want all your subordinates to die from my poison gas, do you?"

"Look at them now, they've already been poisoned."

Caesar laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

How dare this navy underestimate the effects of their poison fog and leave a group of soldiers behind?

In order to target the Joker, Caesar had already ordered the patrol members to cover the entire route with poison gas, but Smoker thought that only the area he was in had poison gas.

"How's it going, Navy?"

The smoke filling the control room posed no threat to Caesar.

He pointed to the screen behind him and grinned.

"Let's make a deal. If you cover my escape from this island, I'll let your men go."

"But you'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee that someone won't fall in the poisonous fog."

"After all, this is a killing weapon that I created, whoosh!"

Caesar's smile grew even more triumphant.

He looked hesitant and conflicted when he saw the silver-haired navy man.

This is a navy officer who likes to do things his own way, but also has a sense of responsibility.

So much fun! Hehehehehe!

Two-in-one~~~

Chapter 151 Cricket Fighting

Smoker was indeed a bit flustered.

He had clearly considered the danger of poison gas exposure, which was why he let Tashigi and the others leave first.

Using his Devil Fruit ability, he can actually catch up quickly.

The first half of the story went pretty much as I expected.

The power of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit allowed him to easily catch up to the control room.

But the result was completely the opposite.

Looking at Caesar, who had a sly grin on his face.

He wanted to curse him for being despicable and shameless, but then he thought that since this guy was a wanted criminal, it seemed quite normal for him to be despicable and shameless.

Damn it, this tactic is just like the Joker's!

Smoker cursed inwardly, racking his brains for a way to quickly subdue this guy.

He wasn't so naive as to surrender at the slightest threat.

Such a person cannot survive on the sea.

Caesar was just a scientist, and his bounty was 300 million Berries.

I am not without opportunities.

That's what he thought, but on the surface, Smoker still showed a conflicted and troubled expression, and then a helpless compromise.

It felt as if my heart had already gone through several intense conflicts.

He sighed softly.

"I can agree to that."

"But you need to guarantee that the poison gas attack will stop immediately, and at the same time, you also need to guarantee that they will be safe and sound."

"Whoosh, of course, that's no problem."

Caesar smiled with satisfaction.

Some of my doubts were dispelled.

This is certainly an interesting navy!

Frankly speaking, using ordinary marines to blackmail the navy has a very low success rate.

There was a time when pirates kidnapped 500 civilians as hostages in an attempt to blackmail the World Government.

The final result was that the World Government sent Rob Lucci to kill all the hostages and pirates.

The same result is expected for Akainu or other hardline Navy members.

Only a very small number of navies would accept such a threat.

Coincidentally, Smoker was one of them.

When Caesar saw the other person's short silver hair on the monitor, he could hardly contain his laughter.

There are very few Logia-type Devil Fruit users in the Navy, so he certainly remembered Smoker.

This guy is also a notorious troublemaker.

“I can stop the gas release now, but to be fully cured, I’ll have to wait until I escape from here.”

"I can understand, after all, I'm still a wanted criminal, while you're in the navy. The word 'justice' still carries some weight."

"He's just a little worse than the Joker."

"can."

Smoker took two steps closer.

Caesar was very confident in his poison gas.

The supreme authority of a mature weapon of mass destruction must not only have the power to ravage the entire island, but also the ability to restore it.

This is also what he did to the death row inmates on patrol.
