One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

When the clown spoke, his eyes were full of mockery, but his expression was unusually serious, as if he were discussing a battle plan with Wang Zhi.

That's good, it saves us the trouble of kowtowing.

But neither of these two plans ended well!

It's not hard for Wang Zhi to imagine what Blackbeard's expression would be, nor is it hard to imagine what kind of fate awaited him.

Enraged, Blackbeard would certainly not let him off the hook.

"Sounds...not bad."

Wang Zhi forced a smile.

"But it's still not interesting."

Baji stood up and looked around in the moonlight. The sea was dominated by a dense number of pirate ships, and these seemingly imposing pirate ships were all following closely behind him.

"I imagined all these scenes in my mind."

"It still doesn't feel enough."

"Not interesting enough."

"None of these are as good as a... well, a small-scale war."

Do you think war is fun?

Even pirates wouldn't find war fun, would they?

Wang Zhi's eyelids twitched, and he began to correct his first impression.

The clown is still crazy.

"Let's fight a war. You fight with all your might, and I'll handle Blackbeard."

The clown took two steps forward, his urging tone unusually cold.

"Strictly speaking, this is your best chance."

"Or do you think that after you escape, you can actually accumulate even greater power than you have now?"

"Oh no, actually I think you have no chance of escaping at all."

"Cats always like to play around with mice before killing them."

Blackbeard is a simple villain, and villains should be dealt with with even more ruthless methods.

Then be direct.

He wanted to see a war, so a war was started.

Wang Zhi's value lies in the fact that he still retains the ability to instigate a small-scale war.

The Joker wouldn't bother protecting his reputation just because of that damn fame!

We're all pirates, what's the point of talking about morality?

Just fight!

Wang Zhi could understand the logic the clown was talking about.

He remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing his options.

The truth is cruel, but he really had no choice.

The lack of ability is a major weakness.

It took Wang Zhi a while to speak:

"From this day forward, Beehive Island will be under your control."

He really couldn't find a better choice than the Joker.

Moreover, the other party also showed him, a senior, sufficient respect.

A war of revenge, in Wang Zhi's eyes, was indeed a war of respect.

Although it came a little faster than I had expected.

Of course, he's also cunning.

Regardless of whether he said that or not, his fleet was already clearly out of control, so he might as well go with the flow.

The pirates, having suffered a defeat, were already demoralized.

As long as the Joker's strength doesn't decline and his prestige remains, it will be beneficial for Hive Island to unite around him.

After the somewhat tense conversation ended, Wang Zhi's expression visibly relaxed.

"Excuse me, but did you come here specifically to deal with Blackbeard?"

The Joker likes to target Celestial Dragons; the whole world knows that.

As for what grudge he has against Blackbeard... that's really unclear.

"You can understand it that way too."

Bucky grinned.

He felt like a diligent herb gatherer, tirelessly crossing oceans for a single raw material, just to get Blackbeard into Old Berlusconi's laboratory for slicing.

It's all for the grand theme of "human evolution".

That's amazing.

He looked up, somewhat moved by his own actions.

It would be great if the topic of human evolution could be more interesting.

For example, a ritual must be performed before eating a Devil Fruit, and that ritual should preferably be bloody.

It's like sinking a ship full of pirates into the sea and then swallowing them up amidst their wails.

Or it must be combined with the blood of a Celestial Dragon...

That would be really interesting!

Compared to physical skills and swordsmanship, which require years of practice to see results, this kind of "training" that can be achieved overnight will definitely win the favor of pirates.

I wonder if Vegapunk has any way of creating or modifying such a Devil Fruit.

If possible, then Blackbeard's value wasn't wasted.

Regardless, before Buggy, Blackbeard was the only Devil Fruit user in this ocean who could eat multiple Devil Fruits.

The words "extraordinarily talented" and "rarely seen" are perfectly applicable to him.

After this was done, Bucky wasn't even sure if he could find a replacement.

Wang Zhi's long beard fluttered, and he did not inquire about any motives.

For pirates, being too rich or too poor are both motivations.

Perhaps it was because he lifted his right foot first when he woke up in the morning that he came to steal Blackbeard.

He had no real grudge against Blackbeard.

It was still robbed.

"However, you can't do things you're good at for nothing."

Bucky chuckled twice.

This is considered one of his principles.

Although he came to catch Blackbeard, although Wang Zhi's fleet served as cannon fodder, and although Wang Zhi was willing to submit, he couldn't work for nothing.

This is not bad news for Wang Zhi.

This at least shows that the Joker didn't intend to take it all.

They still have some power to allocate resources.

It's also possible that the Joker has absolutely no interest in building power.

"Of course."

He nodded.

Wang Zhi's fleet has returned.

The news quickly spread throughout Beehive Island.

Half-drunk, Blackbeard, his face flushed and dark, personally arrived at Rocky Harbor.

"Sir Admiral!"

As the pirates' power expanded, the title of captain was no longer enough for them, so positions such as ship owner, admiral, and governor appeared above the captains of various ships.

Wang Zhi styled himself as the owner of the ship.

Kaido is the governor of the Beasts Pirates.

Blackbeard, on the other hand, is an admiral.

They're all pretty much the same.

"Where did that old guy go?"

Blackbeard's steps were slightly unsteady, but his expression remained serious.

His arrogance was highly targeted.

When facing someone inferior to him, Blackbeard's arrogance comes into play, but when facing a threatening opponent, he can quickly demonstrate his ability to be flexible and adaptable.

Wang Zhi was originally the former.

But Blackbeard's bizarre act of fleeing and then returning makes him lean towards the latter.

In his original calculations, his men would keep trailing behind Wang Zhi's fleet, launching attacks from time to time to keep the enemy constantly exhausted.

Meanwhile, we can keep rotating our positions.

If we can just wear them down for a few days, we can make these pirates surrender without shedding a drop of blood!

Starting a business is not easy.

Blackbeard's crew from Impel Down was strong, but they certainly lacked supplies; the group was so poor that all they had were their prison uniforms.
