One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Bucky tilted his head and smiled coldly.

The mini-game had an unexpected outcome.

However, I also need to hire some people myself.

"Congratulations on joining our promising gang."

He didn't take the knife, but instead patted the other person on the shoulder.

Oh!

A true master!

He could already hear someone praising him in his head.

Then, he downed his drink in one gulp and turned to the bearded old man.

"I think you can start preparing my reward now. Believe me, it will definitely be well worth the price!"

He is a responsible clown.

If we're going to plant a flag, it can't be as simple as just planting a flag.

So Bucky stayed in town for about a week longer.

The same sunny day as a week ago.

The light shone down directly, like a layer of golden gauze, and felt even a little hot when it covered my body.

But the bearded old man felt a chill in his heart.

"Old Luo, you have to give me an explanation for this!"

"Yes, that... pirate, is he really here to plant a flag?"

"Are you really not going to kidnap us?"

The bearded old man was surrounded by the crowd, his aged face scrunched up, clearly overwhelmed with worry.

He wanted to explain, but everyone's concerns were absolutely genuine.

"Yesterday, he brought that navy guy and buried a box of dark stuff in front of my house, and also strung up a lot of thin, incomprehensible wires..."

"You told me it's something that could blow my whole family to smithereens!"

"It's terrifying. I haven't dared to go inside the door for the past two days."

A woman looked terrified, tears welling in her eyes.

"this…"

Old Robert, the bearded old man, was temporarily speechless.

Planting explosives in front of someone's door is indeed quite frightening.

But what's even more alarming is that Pakistan did this in front of more than one house.

He did this throughout the entire port city!

Some are buried, but many others are standing directly on the street.

Its dark, grimy exterior was unsettling to behold.

Even old Robert was terrified watching this.

I've never heard of planting a flag like this before!

"Then you go and talk to Lord Joker?"

Old Robert was also angered and directly retorted to everyone.

That would have been agreed upon by everyone, so why are you only looking for him now?

His question silenced the people who had gathered around him.

The clown isn't someone they can just invite and dismiss at will.

Even world governments couldn't do that!

Moreover, Pakistan is currently in high spirits.

When they reached the tavern entrance, they clapped their hands.

"Due to material limitations, let's leave it at that for now."

"It seems our show has everyone a bit... well, impatient."

His mocking gaze swept over the crowd, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.

Previously, my understanding of the Joker came from his arrogant and manic appearance on live broadcasts, in newspapers, and in bounty posters.

These are still quite far apart.

The current perception of the Joker is that he destroyed a naval fleet in an instant while having fun, and forced Guan Ji and his gang to kill each other.

It was terrifying.

"Bucky...sir, how is the experiment you mentioned going?"

Old Robert asked a question, still keeping his head down.

He felt like he was standing on a powder keg.

"It's ready."

Bucky pursed his lips. "Hmm... the power should be enough to blow the whole town to smithereens."

"Don't worry, I've done this job a lot, I'm very skilled at it."

Do what you're good at.

Pakistan's specialty is making explosives.

"Interested in blowing this up and seeing how it goes?"

He tossed a red button over.

It's a very ordinary switch, except that there's a smiley face drawn on the button.

It's like his calling card.

"Explode into the sky!?"

"No, don't give it to me!"

The red button was tossed around in the chaos.

"Don't give it to me either, I don't want to be a prisoner!"

The button was made of poor quality and fell to the ground after being tossed around a few times.

It makes a crisp sound.

"It cracked?"

Old Robert's eyes widened; he was the one who knew best what the Joker had done!

Everyone lowered their heads, looking at the shattered button, their hearts clenching as if being gripped, the beating sound exceptionally clear.

"Is everything... alright?"

They weren't quite sure.

Suddenly, a blinding red light flashed from the shattered button!

It felt like a sudden, sharp squeeze on a heart that had been gripped tightly.

Everyone's face instantly contorted with terror, their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound, as if they could already hear a deafening roar coming from all around them.

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!"

"I like the expressions on your faces right now."

"This is so interesting!"

Well, all they heard was the clown's merciless laughter.

It was a false alarm.

Almost everyone blushed slightly.

His performance just now was really laughable.

Especially when everyone is afraid to touch that red button.

"Relax."

"We won't detonate it so soon before our experiment is complete."

Bucky laughed for a while, clutching his stomach, and then waved his hand.

"What was the experiment like?"

"Hmm! Good question!"

The clown nodded, quite pleased with the timely comedian, and glanced sideways at what seemed to be a guy with a cigar in his mouth.

"Um, I'm just wondering, when they..." Buggy pointed at Rob and the others, "what will they do if they have weapons that can take down pirates or marines, or if they might be killed as soon as they land on the island?"

He tilted his head to the side, a wide smile playing on his lips.

He then pulled out a button from his pocket that was noticeably more refined.

"Yes, I call it the Deterrence Era."

"Would you be interested in seeing how it works?"

"Don't worry, I've already made a note in a prominent place at the dock."

The Age of Deterrence... Bucky learned about this game from the memories of college students.

It was just a small experiment in the Kingdom of Lulucia.

After all, pirates often lack rationality.

It's easy to get carried away and lose your temper.

To keep their minds calm, Bucky left many of the explosives, which could have been hidden, exposed.
