One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The boundary between the stone slab and the boundless darkness suddenly shrank.

The darkness, where nothing exists, is the source of the chill.

Baji stood there without offering any resistance.

Let the thin thread entangle you and drown you.

Then another clown stepped out and stood in this strange place on the border.

"It feels a little tingly, but it's okay."

Bucky nodded and described the feeling of being engulfed by a sea of ​​white flames.

The four overlapping objects paused for a moment, as if they were wondering something.

Immediately afterwards, the snake head and tail that had appeared in Doflamingo's eyes suddenly emerged, and Doflamingo's limbs clung to his torso, gradually transforming into a snake-like body.

A snake's head emerged from its eyes and hissed, seemingly protesting the reduction in its share.

The vertical eye hidden within the white line is cold and focused solely on dealing with the raging inferno.

The matter of dealing with the intruders seemed to be forgotten for a moment.

Human will appears exceptionally fragile in such a bizarre entanglement; even someone with such deep-seated hatred as Doflamingo could only manage this much.

This is my own fault.

Buggy seriously reflected on the situation. If he could multiply that hatred several times over, wouldn't Doflamingo be able to suppress these three demons in the blink of an eye when he saw him?

He looked down again.

The floor completely disappeared as the snake's head and tail emerged.

They seemed to be standing on darkness, or as if they were falling endlessly. Bucky's soul was covered in frost, giving it a rusty feel.

The three intertwined individuals were instantly pulled extremely far away.

It was as if he had been banished, or as if Bucky had been abandoned and left to fester in the cold.

"call--"

Bucky exhaled a cold breath and narrowed his eyes.

"That won't do."

"How could you not include me in the fun?"

He took a step forward, crossed the dividing line between the island and the sea, and completely disappeared into the water, then reached out his hand.

Another point in the darkness.

Amidst the intertwining of white lines and the sea of ​​fire, a hand emerged from the white lines.

Then there was the head... covered in gray and messy hair, with a pale face painted with white paint, a red nose, and red lips.

His lips were turned up in a wide grin.

My hand stretched out desperately, beyond the edge of the white waves, touching the darkness.

A ripple appears.

The distance between the two points disappears as the ripples spread.

One clown after another emerged from the darkness, their breath carrying an unyielding chill, their skin covered in frost.

"I almost froze to death."

"Hmm...how about we play a game?"

Countless clowns reached out, knives in their hands, and plunged into the white waves and the sea of ​​fire, clinging to the surface of the serpent.

"It is certain that the soul and will are strongly related."

Chapter 213 Advanced Biotechnology

"Hold on! We can't go on strike right now!"

Caesar stared at a corner of the monitor screen, silently praying.

Such experiments are so precious that he's unsure if he'll ever encounter another powerful figure like Doflamingo, who dedicates himself to science, in the rest of his life.

From this perspective, the experimental environment is still too crude. If only we had the experimental conditions that Vegapunk had.

Caesar only thought about it.

A short while later, the door to the Seastone Laboratory opened again.

Bucky floated out again, his face covered in frost, as if he had just returned from a trip to a polar port in the North Sea.

However, he looked extremely excited.

"How is it?"

The monitor wasn't clear, so Caesar approached the doorway, feeling both curious and a little apprehensive.

The chill seemed to affect the soul.

"It went very smoothly." Bucky smiled, looking quite pleased.

"At least I understand my own situation now."

He stepped aside.

This allowed Caesar to clearly see the scene inside the laboratory.

Like the cold storage room of his research base, the entire interior of the Seastone laboratory was covered with a thick layer of frost, including his specially made monitoring head.

Inside the frost were frozen bright red blood clots and white lines.

It looks like it was frozen solid after it exploded.

The cell where Doflamingo was originally imprisoned was even stranger.

It looked like it had been corroded by some kind of chemical, pitted and uneven, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

Caesar took a deep breath, and then saw the cage shatter into pieces on the ground.

Beneath the fragments of the cage, there lies a fruit?

Caesar struggled to describe whether it was a Devil Fruit or not. Its shape resembled a shrunken pineapple, with white lines interwoven with orange-red flame patterns on its peel. The white lines were yellowish, and the flames were dim. A snake-shaped leaf emerged from the white lines, seemingly desperately trying to escape something.

Another reason Caesar hesitated was that the fruit was cut into three pieces, and the cut surfaces were covered with frost.

He turned his head again, wanting to ask the clown many questions.

But seeing the smile on Bucky's face sent a chill down my spine.

Oh well, someone always gets unlucky when he laughs like that.

Bucky was actually in a really good mood.

The feet, now reassembled, moved with light, quick steps.

At least just now, he finally understood why he had allowed two fruits to be contained.

It was somewhat different from what he had initially thought.

The ability to hold multiple fruits is indeed related to the soul, but the soul is also closely related to the will.

Demons reside both in the physical body and in the soul.

Logically speaking, a person's soul can indeed only hold the existence of one demon.

However, Bucky's actions were quite unusual.

He had long ago divided his soul into countless parts.

So when the Joker awakened, he already existed in Bucky's mental world, which is the island.

This gave him the space to swallow the horned gas demon.

The clown's resistance did not play a decisive role.

Moreover, he didn't let the horned gas demon reside in him; he swallowed it whole and completely digested the demon.

Therefore, he does not have a problem with boarding school.

However, this opportunity only comes once; after he finishes eating, he will be a demon in human skin.

Regenerating the Devourer didn't work either; he had already tried it.

Just like those artificial Devil Fruits, swallowing them again in Devil form is no different from getting a mana potion.

My mental state has improved.

There is no way to fully acquire the corresponding ability.

The Demon Clown also met a tragic end.

However, he was already inside Bucky's body, so he couldn't run away.

From this perspective, if he wanted to possess the power of a third Devil Fruit, he couldn't simply eat one. He wasn't a host for a Devil Fruit; the devil inside the fruit would simply flee at the mere smell of him.

This is also why Buggy didn't eat Doflamingo's Mutation-Mutation Fruit.

The seastone forging laboratory limited the demons' escape routes, but they would never accept this fellow demon.

The chance to wake the demon and devour it whole has already been used up; if you want to gain power again, you need to change your approach.

Is it possible to directly abduct an awakened demon into one's own mental world?

Like Red Nose and College Students?

Awakened ability users are hard to find.

Fortunately, Buggy doesn't seem to have any designs on the third fruit yet.

He plans to take advantage of this review to further develop and summarize the Gas-Gas Fruit's abilities and the Chop-Chop ability.

At the very least, we should look into how to make it more fun, right?

Bucky's interest came quickly, but it also faded just as fast.

While Kaido was still secretly inquiring about the results of the experiment, Buggy had already packed up and was preparing to set sail.
