One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

What is a pirate?

That's freedom, of course!

The freedom to kill, the freedom to betray, the freedom to plunder—it's the freedom to satisfy one's long-suppressed ambition!

World governments are weighing the options.

The potential impact of Blackbeard falling into the hands of a powerful weapon like the Mother's Flame, and the subsequent consequences of the Joker not dying.

At first, some people brought up Blackbeard's betrayal during the Marineford War, but this only changed after the other side pointed out what the Joker had done.

The former quickly changed its stance.

The Joker must die!

Otherwise, the world government will become a clown!

"We can agree to that."

An old man's voice came through the microphone.

The Five Elders disdain to talk to a pirate like Blackbeard.

It would lower their status.

"But we don't need to be like Ace, we just need to die."

"Shouldn't we hold a public execution? After all, this guy's crimes are far more heinous than my captain's."

"No."

The World Government shook their heads. They knew about the Joker's formidable record and had no intention of being arrogant or domineering.

Once the Joker is dead, the effects he caused will eventually fade away.

And Blackbeard…

This guy makes no attempt to hide his ambition.

But precisely because of this, the behavior is predictable and cooperation is possible.

“Let us see the clown’s head, and we can hand over control of the Holy Mother’s Flame to you.”

"This is one of the ancient weapons. No one can operate it without our authorization, not even Vegapunk!"

"That's what a high-ranking official from the world government said firmly."

Blackbeard, on the other hand, was somewhat suspicious.

Especially sniper Van Oka.

Using a monocular telescope, he had already seen the enormous weapon called the Holy Mother's Flame begin to move slowly...

It seems like they're tracking something.

The billowing white mist was so thick that even he couldn't see it clearly.

"Is there really no one else who can manipulate this?" Blackbeard's face suddenly darkened, and his tone became sinister.

He discovered something.

If I'm not mistaken.

The flames of the Virgin Mary seemed to be moving in their direction.

"That's impossible!"

"The movement system of the Holy Mother's Blazing Flame seems to be malfunctioning!"

"The report says that demonic power is responsible for the impact!"

"How could someone with such power influence such a massive weapon? We control it using the island cloud and the power rock!"

Not to mention the repeated shouts from the World Government, the Blackbeard Pirates were also in a state of panic.

This terrifying giant iron ball, as if it couldn't stop urinating, flew towards them, dragging a swaying beam of light.

And the speed was incredibly fast.

"Quickly, raise the sails and put away the anchor!"

"We need to get moving, we can't let this big guy catch up!"

Not to mention his underlings, even Blackbeard himself was in a panic.

I almost thought the World Government had suddenly turned against me and wanted to kill me.

The massive body of the Holy Mother's Flame was quickly enveloped in white mist again, with only the occasional beams of light still indicating its presence.

"Impossible! The Joker is the World Government's number one enemy!"

Lafitte offered a few words of advice.

Putting aside the Celestial Dragon who was killed by the clown in the past, this time, having a group of nobles kill a Celestial Dragon in front of the whole world has completely touched the most sensitive nerve of the World Government.

The fact that Blackbeard was willing to give even a weapon like the Holy Mother's Flame is proof of this.

"why?"

"Perhaps it's the guidance of fate," Van Auger said with a smile.

"I see them. Iron Ball and Ark are chasing a somewhat ugly fishman. It seems that this is the secret of the flying giant ship."

A beam of light pierced through the white mist, revealing to the sniper a black dot leading the two colossal objects.

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard immediately went from panic to arrogance.

It seems like only one ancient ship can fly.

"Shoot him down!"

Blackbeard pointed to a black dot in the sky and said.

"Yes, my captain."

The sniper was already prepared, his crosshair aimed at the spot where the black dot had just flashed by.

The re-gathering white mist made it impossible for him to see anything.

But it doesn't matter.

The most important thing for a sniper is patience.

Suddenly.

Another beam of light pierced the white mist, revealing a sliver of clarity in the sky!

Van Oka seized the fleeting opportunity, and the bullet flew out of the barrel in an instant.

"So, did you hit it?"

"It's a pity that Poison Q's horse isn't here, otherwise we could have flown up and taken care of it!"

Blackbeard was a little nervous.

Although he is also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the Dark-Dark Fruit has a very special nature. Not only does it lack the elemental transformation that is standard for Logia-type users, it also causes double the pain to the user.

"Probably not."

Van Oka raised his gun, his brow furrowing.

As the bullet left the barrel, he saw a nail fly out from the crosshair.

Has anyone noticed their attack?

Or... is it fate's arrangement?

"The Holy Mother's Flame seems to have stopped moving?"

After the sniper fired a bullet, no more beams of light fell; only the white mist that had risen earlier still enveloped Blackbeard and his men.

"The World Government says they have issued an order to stop the attack."

"That was a false alarm."

Blackbeard had just breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the ship was rocking a little too much.

It seems like there's something we've overlooked...

After exchanging glances for a while, the group suddenly realized something.

"That black ball!"

The most crucial attack of the Holy Mother's Flame was aimed at the massive black sphere, which was destined for complete destruction!

Lafitte and the others immediately came up with an idea.

The black ball isn't coming at them, but the problem is, they're just too close!

A very muffled churning sound rose from the white mist.

The mist that rose up after being evaporated by the high temperature of the beam of light seemed to be rolled up again.

A colossal wave swallowed the white mist and hurtled straight toward Blackbeard and his men.

Chapter 186 Old Sha's Courage

What's the situation with Blackbeard?

Are you kidding us?

"That can't be right. CP's intelligence indicates that they are indeed near the Kingdom of Prodance, and the Dark-Dark Fruit can indeed kill clowns."

"But will Blackbeard obediently do as he's told?"

Besides the Five Elders who are the highest decision-makers, the World Government naturally has a variety of officials as its backbone.

A few key positions are held by Celestial Dragons, while most of the executive positions are held by officials and nobles selected from various member states.

Being able to live in Mary Geoise is like having a carrot dangling in front of these nobles by the Celestial Dragons.

Besides this radish, there is an even bigger, unspeakable radish hanging there.
