One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Perona didn't see it.

She stretched out her finger and tapped it on the velvet.

The clean white fingers were stained with black ash.

The enormous black shadow had the same outline as Moria, and the ground trembled when it moved.

It is the weight of the shadow.

"This is an extra surprise."

Bucky thought for a while and could roughly deduce the reason behind it.

Without a doubt, this is the awakened state of the Shadow Fruit.

However, as a type of Paramecia, this one seems to behave even more strangely after awakening.

"Is this what they mean by a demon swallowing a person?"

"No wonder Crocodile had the guts to challenge Kaido; it turns out he had a loyal follower."

At least in Buggy's opinion, both Crocodile and Moria are only at the level of a top-tier fighter, and are still quite a distance from Kaido.

If I hadn't dealt with Queen and Jack myself, they probably wouldn't have even gotten to see Kaido.

Moria is understandable; under his modifications, this guy dares to directly confront even the Holy Land, so confronting another Yonko is nothing.

However, Old Sha is more shrewd; how could he easily do something with no certainty whatsoever?

But considering Moria's will to die, it becomes understandable.

"The consequences of a split in the mental world are truly unpredictable, but fortunately, it's still quite interesting."

Bucky narrowed his eyes, as if he were thinking, considering what position he should take.

Well, it would be best to take a position that could make things even more exciting.

He's just enjoying the show and doesn't mind making things worse.

Fortunately, his eyes had calmed down considerably. Thanks to Orochi's contribution, Buggy was in a good mood and not very anxious.

However, looking at the huge black shadow, Bucky thought back to what had happened.

With this added, it seems I've created at least three monsters now.

Moria's shadow, a giant serpent, and half of Doflamingo with two Devil Fruits.

Where did Doflamingo go?

Would it be more fun to put these three together?

Bucky kept thinking and walking.

After leaving the Great Serpent City, he walked straight through the plaza. Jhin looked at him with intense hatred, but dared not make any move.

I found a good spot on the rooftop outside the square.

Not only can you see the entire shadowy figure, but you can also see an iron ball nearby, one of the ones that were thrown down from the Ark earlier.

I wonder what Hawkins and his crew put in there?

There are quite a few problems, let's just wait and see.

Just as he sat down cross-legged, the dark figure let out another howl that could shatter metal and split rocks, vaguely containing a mix of excitement, surprise, and anger and anxiety.

How could a voice coming from a dark shadow contain so many emotions?

The sun had already begun to set in the west.

The shadowy figure also began to move.

He stomped his feet a few times, and countless afterimages stretched from people's feet to his feet.

Then he reached out and grabbed it, and the phantom immediately stood up, transforming from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. He held it in his hand, and it slowly solidified into a shadowy greatsword.

Hehehehe!

Moria's signature smile appeared on the shadowy figure, and the shadow blade slashed down fiercely towards Kaido.

"Ok?"

Kaido raised his Eight-Piece Sword to meet the attack, but the shadow blade pierced through his body and landed on the shadow behind Kaido.

"Sound of an arrow!"

Having encountered the shadowy figure once before, Kaido immediately understood what it wanted to do. He instantly changed his attack, switching from a sweeping motion to swinging a pillar-shaped staff at his feet.

The loose sand beneath our feet flew up in a flurry.

In an instant, the sunlight was blocked out, and the shadow beneath his feet also disappeared.

"You think you can defeat me by relying on the awakening of a demon?"

He roared angrily, and as the sky was obscured by the dust and rocks, the Eight Precepts on his hand flashed with blinding lightning.

"Great Power Thunder Bagua!"

Also named after the Four Great Kings, this technique contains unparalleled power, with purple and white lightning suddenly erupting in this man-made darkness.

If ordinary attacks fail to hit, then you have to rely on Haki.

Kaido has now enveloped himself in Conqueror's Haki.

In a flash, the hammer's shadow landed on the dark figure, as if a purple-white lightning net had shattered the darkness.

The shadows scattered across the ground once more.

But Kaido suddenly let out a painful roar.

The flash of lightning lasted only a moment, but it was enough for the shadowy figure to swing his knife!

Cut off a piece of Kaido's shadow.

Just then, sparse sunlight pierced through the sand and pebbles and shone down on Kaido, causing him to feel a burning pain all over his body!

A large portion of his shadow had disappeared.

Without the shadow to reflect, the body boils and evaporates under the constant sunlight!

"Another one, hehehehe!"

The shadowy figure reassembled in the distance, only now smaller. The shadow Moria created with his own consciousness was not immortal.

In terms of sheer strength, Moria could never have made Kaido scream in pain. His Haki was too tyrannical; even the current shadowy figure had to be cut down piece by piece.

"Brother Kaido!"

King exclaimed in surprise, spreading his wings to block the sunlight from Kaido's ascent. Under the shadow, Kaido's condition finally eased.

He spat out blood and flesh, his eyes gradually becoming violent.

Even in his half-human, half-beast state, many of the blue scales on his body had already turned charred.

A powerful aura can naturally supersede ability, but an extremely powerful ability can also affect the aura of the domineering individual.

"Let's finish this quickly."

Even after the sun sets, the moonlight will still shine, and one's shadow will still have nowhere to hide.

Moreover, Kaido simply cannot accept the fact that he cannot stand in the sunlight.

Ash's cover-up was only temporary, and Old Sand certainly wouldn't let it go so easily.

Perhaps because he saw a glimmer of hope, he worked even harder.

"Flame Cloud!"

Kaido didn't give himself any time to rest and went straight into his beast form.

The Azure Dragon has reappeared.

Kaido conjured up cloud after cloud of flame in his hands, filling the sky and just as they were about to block out the sunlight, the cloud of flame suddenly split apart.

It looked as if someone had drawn a smiling face on the fiery clouds.

Sunlight streamed down through the smiling face.

"clown!!"

Kaido's roar nearly collapsed the house.

Sunlight fell on the Azure Dragon's body, and wisps of white mist rose up, as if the flesh and blood inside had been evaporated.

Azure Dragon's furious gaze was fixed on the clown in mid-air, his hand resting on the fiery cloud.

Noticing Kaido's gaze, he turned around and shrugged, "Why are you so serious?"

"It's good to smile, just like this."

He pointed to the smiling face on the fiery cloud.

Cutting off Kaido's shadow—this is definitely a route even Buggy hadn't considered!

He couldn't help but leave the field.

Moreover, his reasons were quite valid.

Remember our game?

"Kaido, Kaito-sensei... you've already lost this country to me. If this continues, I'm really worried."

Bucky's face was full of mocking laughter.

It causes blood pressure to spike instantly.

"call--"

Kaido breathed out scorching flames, which gradually enveloped his body as they surged. The majestic dragon covered in blue scales soon transformed into a furious fire dragon.

The fire dragon's gaze was fixed on the clown.

But when the flames reached their peak, they suddenly changed direction and pounced on the regrouping shadows.

"Fire Dragon Torch!"

The moment the fire dragon burst forth, it resembled a giant dragon pieced together from countless torches, winding through the towering mountains and ridges, completely melting everything the flames touched.

"shadow!"
