One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Bucky saw a black sheen emanating from his body.

This old bastard isn't honest either; he's started using Armament Haki.

However, this is also what Bucky wanted to experiment with.

With the domineering presence hindering its development, the childlike ability isn't fully utilized.

At his signal, Old Black chuckled and released his Armament Haki defense, showing some apprehension towards the clown's ability.

This time there are no obstacles.

Bucky had a sudden thought and transformed the black man into a Lego Batman, except that his skin was exceptionally dark and he had a full beard.

It seems I can even make a contract with this toy…

Bucky made a pact of taking three steps forward and two steps back.

Blackbeard began pacing back and forth in the room, his movements stiff and lifeless, like a puppet.

That old man is wicked and treacherous; you can't trust him completely.

Bucky turned on the Den Den Mushi in front of the black man.

"Tomitch, do you remember Blackbeard?"

"Of course, did he try to escape?"

“Um… Mr. Clown, if you’re going to send him to a pirate ship, sending him to a warship would have the same effect.”

"... "

"No, no, no, we don't have any strange hobbies, we're just curious, that's all. You know, after all, he's a Yonko-level powerhouse."

Tomic's voice carried a hint of shyness.

But Bucky could hear the eagerness in his voice; it seemed he had been waiting for this call for a long time.

"That might take some time."

Bucky glanced sideways, thinking they probably wouldn't be interested in Blackbeard in his toy form.

Probably... no way?

People's joys and sorrows are not the same, and Bucky just finds them disgusting.

If you have time, you should go see Hancock to cleanse your eyes.

After hanging up the phone, he gave a brief summary.

My childlike innocence doesn't seem to have the power to make people forget it, but behavioral contracts and such are all normal.

Like Doc Q's Plague Fruit, the Hobby Fruit also has the flaw that it can be dispelled by Haki.

But there is one difference.

Once an individual successfully dispels the disease, antibodies are produced, allowing it to spread rapidly among infected individuals.

But the Fun Fruit does not have this flaw.

Bucky tried using Haki on Old Black, but it didn't neutralize the power, and Old Black didn't even show the doubled pain.

He looked at it for a while before waving his hand.

The black bat toy had a flash of light on its surface, and Blackbeard returned to his original form, also dispelling the gender-swap disease.

However, the first thing he did after recovering was to lie on the ground and roll around incessantly.

"It hurts...it hurts so much!"

The side effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit are still too great.

Bucky carefully considered it and realized that using the ability itself seemed to be a form of growth for that ability.

He turned Blackbeard into a toy seven times.

I was only moved by my improved abilities the first three times.

The last four times, he simply wanted to try out different toys.

After three attempts, the experience points for the Childlike Ability fluctuated slightly.

It jumped from about 0% to 0.3%.

It would take at least a thousand uses for this copying ability to be considered complete.

What about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? What are the conditions for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to grow?

Bucky stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively.

Let's leave it at that for today.

He put the shackles back on Blackbeard, left behind a small piece of key the size of a fingernail, and turned to leave.

In the cold, gray corridor, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Old Black has even mastered Armament Haki, so his physical skills are probably not bad either.

Unfortunately, it's not pain-resistant.

He tossed the key fragment in his palm again, chuckled, and said, "Cooperate well. Once you've collected all six, you'll know how difficult it is to get the last one."

Bucky stayed on the experimental level for two more days.

One was Vegapunk clinging to his leg, insisting on giving him a full physical examination.

Bucky kicked him away.

The other is that the Ark has arrived.

To be precise, it was the Virgin Mary who returned home.

Bucky, carrying Vander Deikun, with a large iron ball the size of a hill chasing behind him, slowly descended from the sky.

There was a hole at the top of the eggshell, just big enough to let the Virgin Mary's flames fall.

After all, it was originally produced here.

"So this is how you took it!"

Old Bei's eyes widened, finding this ability extremely convenient.

If it could swallow the object, it would be even more practical!

Van der Deiken suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

However, before the plan could be implemented, the chief intelligence officer of the Pakistani group approached them.

Morgans landed with the Ark.

"Your Mightiness!"

The birdman bowed slightly, his suit impeccably tailored.

"This world conference will be officially held in Mary Geoise in two weeks, at which time the Navy and CP will be on the highest alert."

"Don't worry, your reliable assistant has already made contact with the king of a participating country. We just need to sneak onto that noble ship before setting sail, and we can easily board Mary Geoise."

"The world will surely cheer for your voice once again!"

Morgans' eyes were filled with fanaticism.

The pursuit of sensational news that would shock the world was ingrained in his very soul, to the point that he even planned out his travel arrangements.

Of course, if it were four years ago, he would have been invited directly as a journalist.

Those meetings were just too boring.

The Joker is the real newsmaker.

We don't chase news, we create news!

That's such a well-said statement!

Unfortunately, I was unable to be present at several of the most moving live broadcasts.

This time, I will not only be present, but also serve as the host!

Morgans had already tacitly agreed that Lord Joker would definitely use this meeting to cause trouble.

"Well done."

Bucky's lips curled into a slight smile.

"You'll represent our group at this meeting."

"what?"

Morgans was completely stunned.

He knew his own limitations. Given the current level of hatred from the World Government, without the Joker leading the charge, he probably wouldn't survive more than three episodes.

"You...you're not planning to go?"

"Of course I'm going. I already told them to go last time."

"However, it's not good to show up empty-handed."

Bucky looked up and saw that the Holy Mother's Flame had already fallen into the Fusion Furnace.

Once the lid of the giant eggshell is lifted, it reveals an enormous fusion furnace. Judging from the rolling heat emanating from it, Vegapunk has retained a considerable amount of kinetic rock, so at least there's no need to worry about energy.

He turned his head, raised his hand and patted Morgans on the shoulder. "Do you know how to create panic?"

"It's also the most interesting entertainment program..."

"the truth."

Bucky pointed a finger and tugged at the corner of Birdman's mouth. "This is the show you're going to put on."

Vegapunk, who was busy working nearby, tilted his head slightly, as if he was about to move.

A mocking smile appeared on his face. "We have to use the truth to create some monsters."

Bucky shrugged. "Otherwise, this boring ocean will wear down my patience completely."

"You'll be performing in a show in two weeks."

"that's it."
