One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

After saying that, he patted the scales of one snake and turned to explain to another snake.

The snakes nodded, indicating that they were very skilled at their movements.

They often play hide-and-seek with the ruins below when there is no wind.

"Alright, now we just need to wait for their news."

The female pirates were equally eager to try.

The lower half of the Five Elders, wow, that's much rarer than a Devil Fruit!

Salome was folded into a chair shape for Hancock to sit on, but her gaze kept drifting towards her room.

The initial fervor in my head cooled considerably, and my brilliant mind regained its dominance.

Along with that came a deep sense of shame.

What did I just do?

He blushed bright red in front of the clown, and... and the two of them were even in the same bed.

My mother-in-law said this woman is good for having children…

What's a good name for a girl?

Hancock was already dreaming about married life with kids, while the snakes had found sandworms on what used to be a high hill on the side of the island town.

He lay in a deep pit, seemingly lifeless.

The sea cursed them.

The snakes, however, are not hindered.

They use their tails to encircle the sandworms, sway their bodies into a waggle shape, and swim towards the surface of the sea.

As it approached the sea surface, it suddenly arched its body and threw the sandworm onto the surface like a stone.

"That ugly worm is out! Sisters, get ready!"

The Amazonian warriors raised their bows or arrows, and one strong warrior took the lead, leaping up and grabbing the sandworm's body.

Instead of throwing it onto the boat, they threw it towards the other side, onto a small reef that was exposed on the sea.

The other female warriors then raised their bows and shot arrows.

The arrow, imbued with Armament Haki, was fierce and swift, adjusting the sandworm's direction in mid-air.

"What a hard, ugly bug."

The arrow struck the sandworm's hard shell with a clanging sound, as if it had hit an iron plate.

Fortunately, they landed safely on the island.

"Such an ugly thing is an affront to my eyes."

Hancock's face was full of disdain.

The other female warriors were eager to fight and even took out their axes.

Chapter 253 I need to find some fun for myself

The sky was very blue after the rainstorm.

The air is much fresher now.

It's just a bit noisy.

Bucky picked at his ear, his expression calm.

After two days of rest, Bucky's strength had almost fully recovered, and he was able to move around on his own without having to endure the lecherous gazes of those female hooligans.

Even such an odd guy like him could catch my eye... Is it the charm of an idol, or do I really have some shining qualities that I haven't even discovered myself?

His hand rested on the wooden railing of the ship's side, from which one could see three thick hemp ropes extending from the Perfume Serpent, binding the sandworms and suspending them at the stern.

After the Amazonian warriors cut off a large piece from the sandworm, they thought it wouldn't be good to just throw it into the sea since it was the clown's pet, so they simply left it there.

This is torture for sandworms.

Creatures that should be roaming freely in the sand seem to be suspended in the sea.

If the snake were to move faster, the sandworm's situation would be better; once the rope is taut, the sandworm would float close to the surface of the sea.

But if the snake is determined to toy with it, the sandworm will be in big trouble.

It sinks into the sea from time to time.

Whenever they have a chance to peek out, they seize the opportunity to let out a sharp roar.

Ask the clown for help.

Bucky didn't pay much attention to it.

This thing is incredibly resilient. After soaking in the seawater for a day and being pierced by several arrows by the Amazonian warriors, it immediately perked up.

Moreover, this quirky thing was of absolutely no help in the battle.

After being pinned to the ground by Fujitora, he started to give up.

It's good to teach this thing a lesson now.

"Would you like to try this, Mr. Clown?"

A female soldier approached, carrying a plate of fragrant sandworm meat. Her simple and clean attire revealed the strong muscles on her arms and thighs.

Strength is beauty – this is a consensus shared by everyone at Amazon Lily.

Of course, strength here is not just physical strength. Strong people like Bucky and Hancock, who do not have particularly large muscles but possess great strength, are naturally also seen as beautiful.

"The sisters have tried it, and the taste is actually not bad."

The female warrior was a little awkward, swaying her rugby-like shoulder muscles.

"We've finished all the fresh fruit on the ship, so this should be considered fresh."

It's definitely fresh.

Bucky has tried launching Satan into space and breaking Pit in two, but he's never actually tried roasting it.

"Thank you." He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. "It tastes really good... I wonder what spider or pig's feet would taste like?"

It seems like some gene in Bucky's body has been activated, and he's reminiscing about the taste of the other Five Elders.

The moment the sandworm surfaced, it saw the clown tasting the flesh scraped off its own body. A chill ran through it, and it let out a shrill roar.

Hearing the clown's praise, the muscular woman blushed shyly.

A fist the size of a sandbag could strike at any moment.

Fortunately, they still retained some rationality.

He grabbed the tray and came to his senses.

"Oh, right, Lady Snake Princess is looking for you."

"It seems they want to discuss their next target with you."

"Don't you have any goals?" The clown cut another piece of sandworm meat with his finger, completely ignoring the sandworm's resentful eyes.

"The goal... is roughly how much stuff we want to rob and bring back on this trip. Oh, and there was another voyage specifically to find you."

The muscular female warrior thought seriously.

What do they usually rob?

“There are so many.” She counted on her fingers as she walked. “Apart from men, we can move anything that’s not on the island: ironware, wine, and books. Grandma said books are very important. Some of them are so thick that even Lady Snake’s eyes light up when she sees them!”

"Enough, Landora!"

Hancock lay on Salome's back, wearing a red and white cheongsam. The white was the base color, and the red was the symbol of the Kuja Pirates, printed on it like a cluster of flowers.

"I did not grant you permission to say these things!"

She rolled her eyes at the muscular female warrior, her gaze disdainful.

"I'm sorry, Lady Snake Princess!"

The muscular female warrior looked terrified. She had accidentally gone too far in front of Lord Clown... It would be terrible if Lady Snake didn't take her next time.

"Go down."

Hancock seems to have a bad temper and often says harsh and disdainful things, but she rarely actually punishes anyone.

"Want to try some?"

Bucky chuckled softly, casually dividing the sandworm meat in his hand into two pieces, then pinching one piece and handing it over.

The meat appears to have been peeled from the hard shell of a sandworm and looks very similar to chicken.

The food held in the man's hand...

Hancock froze, a blush creeping onto her face. Her mind wandered off, and she stretched out her mouth to bite the clown's hand.

"Ask it, not you."

Bucky stuffed the meat into Salome's mouth, then watched with a grin as the snake princess's complexion changed from a pretty red to a warm red.

If it were someone else, Hancock would have already ripped that person's head off and used it as a football.

But the Joker…

Hancock's lips twitched a few times as she suppressed her anger and said, "The World Conference has been canceled. What are your plans next?"

"Cancelled?"

"The banquet they prepared for me was canceled without my consent!"

The clown flew into a rage, which was no fun.

"It is said that... Pangaea City has been in disrepair for many years, and some parts have collapsed, so it needs to be repaired first." Hancock gave the Joker a deep look, feeling that this matter must be related to the Joker's planning.

"That's so boring."

Bucky shook his head, quite disappointed by the World Government's lack of persistence.
