One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Chapter 167 The King's Game

One end of the microphone.

Bucky gave a strange, slight smile.

"Yes, I like this start."

"These words about meeting are too polite. If it were Sengoku saying this, I might consider it."

Whether he will see it or not is unknown.

"However, it's not practical for people like us."

Bucky flicked his fingers a few times.

Walk out of a dark room.

The entire King's Pit is shaped like a spiral descending.

The stone steps extend downwards in circles, and stone caves have been carved out on the pit walls.

Bucky's room was similar.

However, he was in a sunny, high position, where he could almost see the flat ground.

Similarly, as soon as you step outside, the glaring sunlight descends.

There was no warm feeling; instead, it was filled with a solemn stillness.

Outside the cave is an arched viewing platform, looking down.

A dozen or so small black dots were intertwined.

This is the second option besides 007: to fight in the arena.

Bucky hadn't originally intended to interfere with them. Unlike Crocodile, he never considered how to clean up the mess after he'd had his fun.

These people can do whatever they want.

But ironically, this group of people wanted to call him their savior.

That would be fun.

Bucky had to show them what a savior was like.

007 is a blessing bestowed upon them by the savior!

His footsteps were light and slow, but enough for the man smoking on the other end of the microphone to hear.

"us…"

He paused for a moment, as if he wanted to argue.

But then he quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Ah, that makes sense."

What kind of people are they...?

Smoker used to believe he represented the side of justice, but now he realizes he may very well be seen as one of the most heinous criminals in the eyes of the World Government.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Bucky gave a few emotionless, dry laughs, the sound somewhat eerie, as he stepped over the edge of the stone platform, his feet barely touching the air.

The Den Den Mushi is held in its hand.

"Let's get straight to the point, who should we start killing?"

"Or rather, who knows where the Power Rock is located, since we have the same goal."

"Don't you think so?"

Hehehe.

He chuckled softly a few times.

Marineford.

Smoker glanced at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, then turned his head to see his teacher, Zephyr, standing by the window.

Zefa had short purple hair, wore a black coat, and had a large mechanical device on his right glove. Although he looked old, his muscles were still very strong.

"Only an admiral and a small number of lieutenant generals at headquarters are authorized to know about the existence of Power Rock."

"Navy... World Government... Ha."

"I'm not sure if it's rotten to the core, or if it was rotten from the very beginning."

When Zefa said this, he looked relaxed, and there was even a smile on his face.

It was merely a light touch, a denial of his entire life.

The last glimmer of hope in my heart was extinguished, leaving only a sense of indifference.

The fact that the Navy can cooperate with even a pirate like Edward II speaks volumes about the weight of justice.

"Teacher, if the partner is the clown, I think we need to be cautious. At the very least, we need to be extra careful when contacting him."

"His goals and actions are always unpredictable, and... he is ruthless."

Smoker felt a pang of sadness as he recalled his ordeal.

I must be the first person whose abilities have been forcibly taken away, right?

"That's perfect."

Zephyr turned around, a tear sliding down his cheek. The newly built Marineford was beautiful, and the families of the naval officers had all been brought to live in the headquarters town.

Even the room beneath their feet was a privilege that Zephyr, as a former admiral, was entitled to.

In this world teeming with pirates, Marineford is indeed a place where officers can feel at ease.

They certainly won't repeat the mistakes they made when they were young.

But he was still clutching a small pill tightly in his hand.

These people have never stood on the side of justice!

"This thing feels like it takes me back to my youth, something Ain's abilities can't do."

Ain and Binz were two students who survived the training ship incident and later became officers of the pirate guerrilla team he formed.

However, Zephyr is no longer satisfied with this.

"But the side effect of this deadly drug is aging!"

"So it's just right for an old man like me."

"The Joker understands this too."

The killer drug ES was given to Smoker by the Joker, along with the terms of the exchange.

Trading the Power Rock for the Deadly Essence is a win-win situation for Zephyr.

"The new era of pirates was started with Roger's life. If I could use my frail body to start a new era for the Navy and the World Government..."

"That's totally worth it, hehehe!"

Zefa's laughter was exceptionally hearty.

Smoker's heart sank lower and lower.

Those who have served under Zephyr know that if the chief instructor simply has a stern face, everything is fine; but if the chief instructor is laughing heartily, it means he has made an important decision.

"If the power is real, what would happen if this thing fell into the Joker's hands..."

Smoker could hardly imagine how terrifying it would be if such a powerful weapon fell into the Joker's hands!

World governments will be absolutely terrified.

"Yes."

"But the fact that this thing has been kept in the hands of the Navy is the most useless thing."

Zefa dragged his heavy right arm across the floor with a creaking sound.

"The G1 branch in the New World has a clandestine transport mission, which is very likely to involve Power Rock."

At his level, he has access to a lot of things.

By simply verifying each other's findings, we can narrow down the general area.

"However, dynamic rocks will not be transported in large quantities."

"We need to find a place to store it."

Zephyr, as a former general, had sufficient knowledge of Dynamic Rock, but that was thirty years ago. Where does Dynamic Rock exist now...?

"If the Joker shows even the slightest intention to make contact with the Power Rock, it will directly touch a nerve with the World Government."

"However, the significance of cooperation lies in the fact that we each complete the parts that the other cannot complete."

Zefa was not as extreme as his emotions suggested; his thoughts were organized and logical.

However, this also shows how determined he is at this moment.

"Power Rock should be put in the hands of those who dare to use it."

Despite possessing this powerful weapon, the Navy still allows pirates to run rampant, and a world teeming with pirates is dubbed the New World.

How ridiculous!

Zefa wants to give this thing to someone who dares to use it.

"Whether it's the Navy's justice or the pirates' freedom, these things... it would be better to wash them all away and start over!"

The Joker blowing up a base and killing a lieutenant general are nothing compared to his past deeds, but if the Joker reveals his intention to seize Power Rock, the World Government will go crazy.

There's nothing in this world that a clown wouldn't dare to blow up!

This is no different from letting a madman carry a nuclear bomb's cipher box.

The whole world will be unable to sleep!

But Zephyr didn't care.

His idea for ushering in a new era was quite simple.
