One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Stussy is still on Berlusconi's side.

She was originally a clone created by Bertrand during the MADS era, modeled after Barkingum.

Yes, it's that woman who claims to be Whitebeard's wife, Whitebeard Jr.'s mother, and has a short, ugly face, named Bakkin.

Looking at Bakkin in his old age, it's easy to question Whitebeard's taste.

However, if you see Stussy now, who is around 27 or 28 years old, then you can accept Whitebeard's taste.

White fishnet stockings are indeed alluring.

There's a mole inside.

Naturally, the CP0 team that accompanied her was already mostly dead, and strong individuals like Rob Lucci were relatively few.

Most CP0s are only at Kaku's level.

Especially when command was still in Stuttgart's hands.

"Agent?" Old Bei looked suspicious. "I didn't receive this message. Could it be that Sentomaru eliminated them?"

"If it's those people from CP8, they definitely won't find anything!"

Old Berlusconi still has that much confidence.

Although Satan Saint always felt he had Berlusconi firmly under his control.

This answer made Stusi frown immediately.

Spandam did indeed send people...

That's for sure, but Old Bei said he didn't see these agents.

Where did all those agents go?

Adding to the previous rumors...

The combination of these two factors has effectively lowered the world government's trust in Berlusconi to its lowest point.

“Satan won’t give up easily, after all, you’ve crossed their bottom line.”

Stussy picked at his fingernails, which were sharp and barbed.

They then added insult to injury to those colleagues who were already unconscious, making sure they would never wake up again.

These are all CP0 agents painstakingly trained by the World Government; they are like suicide soldiers and would never betray us.

So it's better to send them to be reincarnated.

"I can't hold out for long, Doctor. We need to think about our options."

After wiping his nails, Stussy found a wheelchair in the lab and acted as if he were already familiar with the place.

Should we run?

"We definitely have to run, the question is where to run to."

If the World Government cannot obtain a scientist like Vegapunk, it will spare no effort to destroy him.

Otherwise, Stusi's mission wouldn't have been killing.

The treatment Old Man Berlusconi received when he went to sea was the complete opposite of that of ordinary pirates.

It wouldn't be surprising if one or two generals were sent to pursue them.

He needs to be accepted by a powerful force that can rival him; otherwise, if Berlusconi rashly sets sail, he will only hasten his demise.

There are also various defensive measures in Egherd.

"Can the revolutionary army accept us?"

After this mission, Stussy never thought she could continue to be an undercover agent. Actually, it wasn't really an undercover agent; she simply chose her creator over Berserker and the World Government.

"A dragon..."

Vegapunk paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The situation developed in a way that surprised him.

If he had discovered it before CP8 came to investigate, he would have had room to maneuver and plenty of time. But now that Stussy is here, the Navy has decided to eliminate him.

The time left for myself is extremely limited.

“I’ve spoken with Long. Although he has been inciting uprisings in various countries, he doesn’t want to take the lead himself.”

"He was unwilling to step forward until that liberation soldier appeared."

"The Revolutionary Army wouldn't refuse a mere hiding place, but if they were to come and provide backup..."

Old Bei paused, his brow furrowed.

As soon as one sets sail, the navy will definitely follow closely behind, and without support, it will be a dead end.

"Then it can only be the Four Emperors."

"Linlin, Shanks, Bucky."

Stussy didn't mention Blackbeard or Kaido.

Before Blackbeard defeated Wang Zhi, he was still a step away from becoming one of the Four Emperors.

Especially since Old Black was tricked by the clown in the Kingdom of Prodance not long ago, and he's still licking his wounds.

As for Kaido... although the newspapers used the guise of cooperation, according to Stussy's intelligence, this guy, who claims to be the strongest creature, bowed down to the clown that day.

"In the new world, only these three people have the courage to accept you."

"Lingling can be ruled out."

Old Bei hesitated for a moment before speaking.

If the old lady were to accept him, she would inevitably demand that Berserker hand over the results of his giantification research. These results violated Berserker's consistent moral principles, and he sealed them away after they were developed.

Stussy was puzzled by this. "I have a good relationship with Lingling, and she is capable of withstanding the pressure from the World Government."

She didn't quite understand Old Bei's persistence.

After all, as a CP0 member, Stussy is rarely bound by conventional moral values.

Old Bei remained silent, but his attitude was resolute.

"Then we'll have to choose between Bucky and Shanks."

"Where is the dragon's son?"

"Straw Hat Boys... greenhorns who have just stepped into the new world. By the time they reach Eghardt, they'll probably only find our graves."

Stussy was telling the truth.

Old Berlusconi could understand, unless he wanted Laron's son to be buried with him.

Therefore, all I could do was sigh softly.

"There's not enough time!"

Neither the Joker nor the Red-Haired Shanks are good choices. Old Man Berlusconi doesn't like the former's style of doing things; he's a perfectionist and doesn't like overly chaotic situations.

Red hair is even simpler.

The other party already has ties to the Five Elders, and if you ask for help, you might get betrayed. The Joker, on the other hand, is guaranteed to be safe.

There is no room for reconciliation between the Joker and the Five Elders.

Old Bei hesitated for a long time.

The final decision was:

"Let's ask the clown for help; the Holy Mother's Flame is still in his hands, isn't it?"

"Tell him I have a fusion reactor that can replenish the energy of the Holy Mother's Flame, but only if he gets here quickly, the Navy is already on its way!"

After making the decision to seek help, Old Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief and operated the densely packed instrument panel.

"Alright, from now on, Egherd only needs to leave, not enter. I have issued a red alert, and all researchers should evacuate immediately."

“That would make our time even more pressing,” Stussy said gravely.

The Navy isn't stupid; Egerhead's obvious actions will only make them speed up their operations.

“Phew… I can’t just ignore them.” Old Bei shook his head. “The sea monsters and seraphim will buy us time. I need to quickly organize the research data.”

……

……

at the same time.

The port of Egherd.

Bucky took off his red nose and pressed down his white baseball cap.

Watching as old Hughes was escorted off the USS Hughes by management personnel.

His lips twitched incessantly, and he could hardly suppress his smile.

Chapter 217 Launching New Projects

A gaze cannot kill, but it can pierce the heart.

Especially when the contrast is extreme.

When transport ships arrive at the port, the handover personnel always look at them with admiration. Navigating an entire ship through the waters of the New World is no easy task.

Not to mention that transport ships often carry raw materials urgently needed for certain research projects.

Old Hughes recalled that once, as soon as he landed, a group of researchers in white coats eagerly approached him.

His eyes were a bright green, which scared him so much that he thought he had encountered pirates.

They later learned that their research had been stalled for a month or two due to the lack of a key raw material.

I probably won't see such a scene again.

Old Hughes raised his wrists slightly, the heavy shackles causing his hands to fall involuntarily, before turning his head away.
