One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

While a typical captain might talk about bonds and friendships, the Joker would never do that, making his role and value all the more important.

"This is my idea."

He explained his thoughts clearly to his colleagues.

Hawkins was no longer content with being just a helmsman.

The Joker gang has grown considerably.

Alne, who initially followed the clown, went to work for Morgans. On the ship were Jacques, a Puppet Fruit user from the Navy; Swann, a Silent Fruit user; Robin, a Flower Flower Fruit user; the mermaid princess Shirahoshi; Jinbe, a former Shichibukai; and himself, a Scarecrow Fruit user; as well as a Fish-Man and a Navy member.

It can be said that its functionality and combat power are both quite strong.

If the Jokers hadn't always preferred to work alone, they might very well have been able to ascend to the throne of the Four Emperors.

After all, what they're doing now is challenging the Four Emperors.

In that case, Hawkins might just be able to get a position as the Emperor's vice president.

At first, Hawkins was also arrogant and aimed to become the Pirate King, but after being tricked by Buggy a few times, he witnessed the strength of Admirals and Emperors.

Hawkins was left with only one idea.

It's getting chilly; we should give Mr. Clown an extra layer of clothing.

"Did Lord Joker give any instructions?"

"He can't get away right now."

Using the telescopes on the ship's side, they could clearly see the battle between Bucky and King.

It was like a large-scale fireworks show, with continuous explosions.

They can't get involved either.

I only said I was going to say hello...

"I think it's okay."

Robin clasped her hands together, her waist slender, a clown mask dangling from her delicate fingertips, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"That's probably why he greeted me—to attract Kaido's attention so that the bomb could be dropped smoothly."

"But something else must have attracted him."

After so much time, Robin has been able to roughly understand the Joker's thought process.

"Besides, something has to be done to let the World Government know... that the Joker is not alone."

The Joker is by no means the only one who wants to see the World Government make a fool of itself.

Although the target is Kaido, Robin also wants to make her stance clear.

“I agree. Lord Joker would look forward to seeing something like that.” Shirahoshi nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Hawkins flipped the card under his fingertip: "So our question now is, where should we bomb?"

"Onigashima or Wano Country?"

"According to Caesar, although this bomb is not as powerful as the Holy Mother's Flame, once it explodes, at least one town will be destroyed."

This sounds rather sinful.

Hawkins thought it could be decided by drawing cards, but he would respect his colleague's opinion.

"Can't we just blow them all up?"

Shirahoshi seemed eager to try, as if recalling her experience on Fishman Island.

"That's probably impossible..."

Robin shook his head, but then seemed to remember something, and his gaze shifted to Caesar, who was still studying the iron ball a little further away.

He chuckled to himself, looking down: "But it's not like we can't give it a try."

……

……

Bucky was unaware that his men were already preparing to give him an extra layer of clothing.

They were still busy greeting Kaido.

"This is our first meeting, I don't know if you'll like my gift."

With a laugh, he threw the throwing knife, accompanied by a muffled thud from the radius bone.

Compared to the shaving technique he used before, using a gas explosion for acceleration is much more ferocious, especially since he successfully wrapped it with Armament Haki.

Three ordinary-looking daggers were plunged straight into Jin's mask.

Two of the weapons shattered after shattering his mask and then collided with the Armament Haki covering Jin's face.

I bought this on a whim and rarely cared for it.

But there was another small knife at an unusually tricky angle, which plunged straight into Jhin's right eye.

"what!"

The intense pain caused Jhin to break free from the suppression of the demonic aura, and blood flowed straight to the corner of his mouth like tears.

At the same time as the knife launched its attack, Kaido also wielded his spiked club – the Eighth Order.

Unlike the dots on Yamato's mace, the Eight Precepts are covered in sharp spikes that exude a fierce and bloody aura.

As it was raised high, one could vaguely see purple and white lightning intertwining.

Immediately afterwards, the Eight Precepts descended at an incredibly terrifying speed, almost beyond the human eye's ability to perceive.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Bucky only saw the flash of purple-white lightning before the blow struck him.

That extremely fierce and domineering aura directly suppressed his ability to transform into elements and shatter into pieces, and forcefully struck his physical body.

It was smashed down from mid-air like a cannonball and sank deep into the ground.

He lay there peacefully, his body divided into four or five pieces.

On its lonely head, the corner of its mouth twitched incessantly, as if it had heard a joke that made people burst into laughter, laughing extremely joyfully and maniacally.

"Only domineering spirit can overcome everything."

Kaido landed from mid-air, with Eighth Prince on his shoulder, completely unconcerned about his sneak attack.

"Although I admire your courage, clown."

"The Celestial Dragons are a bunch of idiots, but they're also a hornet's nest."

He stepped forward and threw the gourd into the pit, still seemingly able to detect Bucky's faint breath.

To survive being able to withstand his Thunderous Eight Trigrams head-on, one's physique is quite good, considering the strength shown earlier...

Where is Caesar?

He crouched down and looked at the bottom of the pit.

"The poison mist that can target artificial Devil Fruit users is inseparable from that guy."

Here's a choice for you.

"Hand over Caesar and work with him to create a new batch of ability users. That way, I might be able to forgive and forget."

Seeing that the clown's aura was extremely weak, Jhin folded his wings and landed, raising his hand to pull out the dagger stuck in his eyeball.

Blood splattered everywhere.

He didn't say anything after hearing Kaido's words.

This is a very real problem.

Apart from the Flying Six stationed throughout Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates have lost almost all of their mid-level Gifters, and two of their top members have also been eliminated. This puts them further away from Kaido's dream of establishing a pirate empire.

If they could recruit the Joker, the Beasts Pirates would not only fill the gaps in their crew but also be strengthened.

The only thing to consider is the world government's potentially reckless attitude.

The clown is too good at attracting hatred.

Previously, it was impossible to target them because they didn't have a fixed territory or route and were just flying around in the sky.

But joining the Beasts Pirates is a different story.

"So, are you interested?"

"Join my ranks."

Kaido laughed heartily, suggesting that he recruit the clown by attacking him. He had initially considered this approach, but later abandoned it after seeing the clown grow stronger.

Unexpectedly, the clown came to us.

Unfortunately, Jack died too quickly, and he didn't even have time to save him.

"You are also someone who wants to do great things, but you can't do great things alone."

"Only by following Lao Tzu's team can you accomplish great things."

The pit that the thunderous Bagua struck was deep and dark.

The clown's body was shattered into several pieces, not split apart, but truly smashed, with blood flowing out.

But on the cuts in the flesh, black flames were faintly burning.

"Haha...haha...haha."

Bucky's laughter remained manic, and there were tears of laughter in the corners of his eyes.

"Are you doing something big?"

He licked his lips.

"I almost forgot that I have a gang."

In the realm of the mind, the demon clown was hung up.

Countless clowns clung to the clown, mouths agape, and began to devour him with wide smiles.
