One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Fortunately, sailing in the New World is always full of surprises.

After they had been sailing for more than an hour, the sea suddenly surged with waves, and raindrops the size of cow tears fell from the sky and pounded against the hull.

The clear sky was as dark as if it had been splashed with ink.

The storm howled and ripped at the sails, as if to topple the entire warship.

The spray even reached the second deck.

The standard warship beneath them has four decks. There are two superstructures on the decks, one of which is called the deckhouse, and the next one is the captain's cabin where Pakistan is located.

From his perspective, the waves are still far away.

However, compared to ordinary small and medium-sized sailboats, these would probably have already capsized by now.

Even sailing warships, which rely on the wind for navigation, are inevitably subject to its influence.

"Quickly, full stern!"

Don't let the wind carry you away!

Tomic's hoarse voice could be heard from outside.

Having arrived half a day early to join Bucky, he secured the position of first mate on the ship.

The helmsman was desperately turning the rudder against the wind and rain.

The tail sail swayed stiffly, and the strong wind exerted tremendous pressure.

Several sailors were running down the corridor, ready to add their weight to the ropes at any moment.

The white sails on all four sides were billowed into semicircles.

The ship rocked and swayed, then was propelled forward at high speed by the gale.

"Yeah, this is what it feels like to be a pirate."

Bucky's eyes showed no sign of worry.

Looking through the porthole, one could see white waves crashing in and out, the seawater rising and receding.

Indeed, it feels best to stay on the second deck.

The captain's cabin is too high.

The sailors on board were all experienced soldiers, and even the huge waves of the New World could not trouble them.

But the rocking of the warship and the howling of the wind and rain instantly jolted Pakistan awake from its weariness.

I simply fell into a deep sleep on the second deck amidst the shouts and patting.

Rainy days are perfect for sleeping.

……

“Mr. Bucky.”

Tomic gently tapped twice on the captain's cabin door.

They had already crossed the storm area, and the weather was refreshing after the downpour.

"what's up?"

Bucky's voice came from behind, startling Tomic.

"Aren't you in the captain's cabin?"

"Ah...it's too quiet, I can't sleep."

Bucky tilted his head, looking quite energetic.

"Any good news, my first mate?"

He walked past Tomic and opened the cabin door to the captain's quarters.

The interior is simply furnished with a desk, a sofa chair, a small freezer, and an air conditioner developed by Vegaponk on top.

"It should be considered good news."

Tomic's expression was strange.

"If I'm not mistaken, while you were resting, some time after we crossed the storm, a sizable pirate fleet set its sights on us."

"To put it simply, we're surrounded, Captain."

A warship carrying naval rebels and clowns has been targeted by arrogant pirates in the New World.

They were first surrounded by several small sailing ships, about the same size as the Merry, but longer and thinner.

How far are we from the main ship?

On the lead ship, a pirate with a short beard and a scarred face put down his binoculars, turned around, and asked a question.

"It won't be too far. The boss can probably see us with that big telescope."

“However, Captain Lind, we are retreating now.”

Is it appropriate to rashly attack an unknown pirate ship?

"What's this about what's appropriate or inappropriate?" The pirate captain named Linde revealed a mouthful of black teeth. "A lone warship, flying some inexplicable flag."

What do you think it is?

His companions pondered, "A rebellious navy?"

"almost."

Lind laughed and said, "I think they're a bunch of defeated soldiers. I heard they were defeated by the Joker."

"Tell me, at this time, if we, on behalf of Boss Wang Zhi, launch a recruitment drive for them, do they have any reason to refuse?"

"This is a Shichibukai!"

Even a defeated Shichibukai is still a Shichibukai.

Blackbeard seized their base, but failed to capture their main fleet.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhi was injured in his battle with Blackbeard and had to make a strategic retreat.

"If you want to make a contribution, you can't care whether it's worth it or not."

"But we should test the waters first, just in case they're a bunch of incompetent fools."

"If we could capture a warship... hehehe."

Linde's eyes were filled with greed.

Seven pirate ships, forming a small fleet, surrounded the warship and launched the first bombardment.

On the deckhouse of the warship, Bucky stared at the shells that were trying to climb onto the warship, his expression first strange, then a slight smile appeared on his face.

"The tedious sea voyage is finally not so boring thanks to the contributions of these little pirates."

"We should fight back."

"Yes"

Tomic also admired the courage of these pirates.

The men that Satanga and Kizaru couldn't handle, they immediately surrounded.

They even dared to shell!

They're incredibly audacious.

Even setting those factors aside, warships are inherently superior to these smaller vessels.

Tomic ran quickly and directed the gunners to rotate the three-barreled gun at the bow of the ship, to fire a volley at these clueless pirates.

It's always been the navy that bombards pirates; when did it become the pirates' turn to attack them first?

"Captain Lind, they've fought back!"

"The prey is still trying to struggle."

Linde chuckled softly, "This distance is enough!"

"Pass down the order: prepare for boarding action!"

The advantage of small sailboats over large sailboats lies in their speed.

A small size also reduces the probability of being shelled.

Moreover, Linde's men were already very adept at dealing with such shelling.

Only one ship was hit by a cannonball and burst into flames.

However, the mast didn't fall, and the speed remained unchanged. The pirates on board were already yelling that they wanted to switch to a bigger ship.

"Charge!"

"We can switch to a bigger ship now!"

"Kill them!"

The small boat, billowing black smoke, crashed into the front of the warship with a loud thud.

Several iron hooks were then thrown up.

Dozens of pirates grabbed the ropes and leaped upwards, their skillful movements no less impressive than those of some mountaineers.

But when they crossed the ship's railing, they didn't see a well-prepared queue, but rather a small giant.

The little giant wore a fur hat and a cool gray coat with the words PX-57 printed on it.

After giving them a few cold glances, he raised his hand.

A laser beam passed over the arrogant pirates and landed on the pirate ship behind them.

On the deck, the scattered former navy men gathered around, raised their eyebrows a few times, and then all took out clown masks and put them on.

"Welcome aboard the Jokers' ship, you trash!"

Ten minutes later.

All seven small boats sank completely under the pacifist lasers.

Linde and the others were tied up and made to kneel on the deck.
