One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

They've been eyeing Wano Country for quite some time now.

There was another silence on the other end of the microphone, as if they were assessing the snake's current value.

Just then, the whistling stopped abruptly, replaced by the sound of light footsteps.

The giant snake's entire face darkened, the white bones on its cheeks seeming to exude an eerie and terrifying aura, but its trembling teeth revealed...

He was the one who was frightened.

Orochi knew very well what the clown had done, and after Kanjuro delivered the clown's message, he collected all the relevant information and details about the clown.

It is this country that is closed off, not the great serpent.

"The quarry... I can hand it over to you, as well as the craftsmen. I have the list of craftsmen who can process sea stone memorized!"

"But you have to guarantee my safety!"

The serpent almost growled as he sensed the footsteps getting closer. He had anticipated that the Imperial Guards were no match for the clowns, but he hadn't expected them to be so swift.

He looked up and stared intently at the scene in front of him.

Most of the city's surveillance signals converge in this room on the fourth floor. From here, Orochi can see Moria and Kaido fighting outside the plaza, and also on the steps leading to the fourth floor.

A face is getting closer and closer.

The clown, with his pale, heavy makeup and bright red lips, seemed to have noticed the presence of the snail monitoring him.

He poked his head in.

His mouth was open, as if he was saying something...

The snail didn't have a sound recording function, so the giant snake only saw the clown say a few words before suddenly taking its head off.

He laughed wildly.

The absence of sound in the visuals is what makes the scene even more chilling.

"be quick!"

After speaking into the Den Den Mushi, the giant snake ignored the response and grabbed the two treasure chests, running outside.

His dormitory was on the fifth floor, where there were few defensive measures.

However, along the way, the giant snake pulled out lacquered wooden wardrobes or tables to block the corridor, not hoping that these would stop the clown, but hoping to create the illusion that it had escaped to the fifth floor.

The giant serpent even left behind a box containing gold and silver jewels.

The sound of footsteps echoed as he circled the corridor before arriving at a wall bearing the emblem of the Black Charcoal family.

Follow the pattern and press one of the mechanisms on the lower side.

A hidden door appeared.

This is the safe house that the giant snake prepared for itself.

It was somewhat dark behind the door.

The giant snake took a step in, but suddenly fell down.

The pitch-black space was filled with orange-yellow light as we fell.

"The fourth floor?!"

The giant snake's eyes widened instantly, and its hair stood on end.

I was clearly heading towards the safe house, so how did I end up back on the fourth floor?

He turned his head and saw that the lacquered cabinet and wooden table he had left in the corridor were still in their original places, only now they had become obstacles for him.

At that moment, the whistle suddenly rang out again.

It came from above, not below.

You can't scare me!

The giant snake roared again, and its beast-like tail slammed straight through the obstacles.

They arrived at the hidden door a second time.

There is no change whatsoever.

After testing the waters, the giant snake took a small step forward.

This time, we're on solid ground.

The giant snake breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clown, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, I just need to hold out for a while... The World Government won't let you get away with this!"

He stepped on it with both feet.

That feeling of being grounded suddenly disappeared.

The whistle, which was originally some distance away, rang out right next to their ears.

"The Joker, the Joker!"

The whistle that rang out right next to him snapped the snake's sensitive nerves.

He let out two low growls, and his body rolled over. In an instant, eight snake heads extended from his neck.

One of the snake heads was deep-fried.

"Do you look down on me, Joker!"

"Come out?!"

The Yamata no Orochi's body suddenly filled the dark space around him, and the Orochi roared a few times.

The clown is making fun of himself!

All the bizarre scenes are just the clown's tricks; what is he trying to do?!

The snake rolled over, crushing the dark edge.

A wooden plank collapsed, and the dim light shone in.

In the center of the room, there was a set of bedding and a crown.

Is this his dormitory room?

The giant snake was overwhelmed by a sense of absurdity.

Are you alone in your dorm room?

He swept his tail around, and the dark edges collapsed, allowing the lanterns on all four sides to shine in.

This is his dormitory room, but it's blocked off with wooden boards.

The giant snake suddenly realized what was happening and then let out a soft sigh of relief.

"The Joker isn't here."

At that moment.

The whistling suddenly started again.

The entire space in front of him moved with the whistle, like building blocks that could be assembled, constantly splitting and reassembling.

Centered on the dormitory, the entire room was continuously assembled and extended infinitely. What was originally just enough to accommodate the giant snake's beast form became incredibly vast as it continued to expand.

It's like... compressing a five-story castle into a single-story structure!

A whistle rang out in front of the giant snake.

The clown sat cross-legged, tapping his fingers lightly on the tatami mat, looking relaxed and at ease, as if he hadn't moved at all.

"Ah...you really made me search for you for ages, hehehe."

Bucky squinted, and the entire castle, under the extension of his power, was indeed assembled at will, like building blocks.

After fully absorbing the power of being torn apart, his ability was further expanded.

Splitting becomes even easier, especially on objects without life or protective aura.

In that case, it's time to find an opportunity to accommodate a third Devil Fruit.

"Oh! You actually possess a Devil Fruit."

"It saved me a lot of trouble."

The giant snake looked down at its own tail.

The treasure chest was opened, and inside, in addition to two ornately decorated famous swords, were two Devil Fruits.

What do you call this? A lab rat with its own experimental equipment.

So considerate.

Seeing Buggy's sly smile, Orochi felt an even stronger chill run down his spine.

"What do you want to do?? No, that won't do. Eating two Devil Fruits will cause an explosion. Don't you know that's common sense?!"

"That applies to ordinary people, and don't you have seven lives?"

"If we calculate it that way, you can still eat at least seven more Devil Fruits."

Bucky said with a serious expression.

Taking another step forward, before the giant snake could react, the demonic aura was unleashed.

The jet-black lines, like cones, completely suppressed the giant snake.

With his willpower, whether it's demonic aura or Conqueror's Haki, he has no power to resist once it's revealed.

"Let's give it a try."

To prevent the giant snake from exploding, Buggy carefully removed one of its heads.

Then they forcibly pried his mouth open.

He stuffed a greenish-blue Devil Fruit inside.

"Ugh!! Ugh!!"

Denjiro clearly saw the pain on the giant snake's face as it struggled desperately but could not move.

I felt a deep sense of sympathy for them.
