One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

But the thought of that awful guy, roughly tossing Cindy's head around in his hand like a ball, is unbearable.

Hogback felt a pang in his heart.

The castle's staircase seems to have been built without any consideration for the castle owner's changing physique.

When Moria stepped on it, the sand and gravel fell like a shower.

"This time, we must build a zombie army that can dominate the world. Abrossam has brought back a lot of corpses from the battlefield."

"Well, I'll leave this important matter to the two of you."

Moria emphasized this as he walked.

"However, the world is still quite dangerous..."

The second floor of the castle was deserted, but it was one of the few places that had not been affected by the previous battle.

Moria later placed the bodies of General John and Silver Axe here.

However, there is now a magnificent coffin placed in the middle of the second floor.

"Could it be the corpse of another famous pirate?" he thought excitedly, starting to think about what number to give this zombie.

The coffin lid was thin, like a child's toy compared to Moria's size.

He shoved the coffin lid open and saw something with expectant eyes...

A grinning clown.

She was wearing a purple suit, had blue hair, and bright red lipstick on her lips.

With his eyes open, he waved and greeted them:

"Good morning."

"Roar————"

Moria was startled by the scene.

That hand had somehow landed on my shoulder and was waving and beckoning.

But what alarmed him even more was not this.

Instead, it was the face of that grinning clown that he had not only seen recently on the large screen at Marine Headquarters, but also frequently on the countless bounty posters issued by the World Government.

What the hell is this?!

Hogback?!

As if realizing something, Moria turned his head and saw Hogback put something on Absalom's hand, causing the man to collapse to the ground.

"don’t worry."

"They're just sea stone handcuffs, nothing more than rare collectibles from the Celestial Dragons."

The clown in the coffin kindly provided the answer.

"You betrayed me, Hogback!"

This is what truly enraged Moria.

Although he's a homebody and a bit weak...

But he always treated his subordinates very well!

Although he currently has only three cadres still alive.

Betrayal was something he had never experienced before!

“Cindy…”

Hogback's smile was very forced.

Moria's treatment was certainly good, but the core of their collaboration was Cindy.

Hogback's reason for staying in the pirate crew was to revive Cindy; he didn't aspire to conquer the world.

"madness!"

"Is he just a clown hiding behind a screen? How dare he look down on me like that?!"

"I was a former Shichibukai, after all!"

After a brief moment of shock, Moriah's onion-shaped head quickly turned into a burnt red onion head.

"Shadow Mage!"

He let out a low growl, and the shadow beneath his feet suddenly twisted and stood up as if it were a real object.

The shadow was as black as ink, and its size was as tall as Moria's. Its ferocious laughter made it look like a terrifying demon.

Grab this clown and slap him hard across the face!

Moria gave the order in his mind.

He is a Paramecia-type user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and should have an almost superhuman level of control over his own shadow.

But the shadow didn't move at all.

what's the situation? !

Moria was taken aback, and then urged his power on even more vigorously.

The edges of the dark shadow were rough, as if in resistance.

How can this be?

The product of the ability is actually resisting its own existence!

"What did you do!?"

Moriah's voice was filled with uncontrollable astonishment.

"Smile a little."

Baji stood up and said leisurely.

The shadow's mouth stretched from ear to ear.

"From the moment we are born, we are on a path that is constantly heading toward the bizarre."

The shadow nodded in agreement.

As a product of the Chop-Chop Fruit and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, every second it survives extends the meaning of the word "weird".

"Split?!"

Moria suddenly remembered the opponent's ability: the Chop-Chop Fruit.

"No, it's impossible."

"Your Devil Fruit has awakened! Your Devil Fruit ability has actually awakened!"

"You split my shadow apart?!"

His voice now betrayed an uncontrollable tremor, yet he still tried to snatch the shadow back.

"You've finally figured it out."

Bucky smiled and complimented him, recalling that he seemed to have said something similar to someone else.

"However, I still need to make a slight correction."

"I did not split your shadow; I split you."

The little hand that had been resting on Moria's shoulder waved at the opportune moment, making its presence known.

It was Pakistani who came up with a development idea when he entered the foggy sea area.

Why only split the object?

Can the mind, or even emotions, these non-material things, also be split?

He made his first attempt in the shadowy dream.

Moriah was the second.

Reality told him that it was possible.

"Damn it, how is this possible—"

Moria had just roared when he saw his own shadow suddenly raise a fist and smash it down.

This is him!

The force of the punch was very familiar.

asshole!

Moria reluctantly got up and pulled a large pair of scissors from the shadows behind him.

This is used to cut out shadows!

Using your shadow against me? How ridiculous!

Moria thought bitterly, but when he looked up, he saw the shadow pull out a pair of shadow scissors with the same outline.

The nightmare has truly arrived!

Chapter 38 This is not home!

Shadow's physical skills seem to be on par with Moria's.

However, there is still some difference in the large pair of scissors.

Specially made large scissors for silhouettes are the nemesis of shadows.

Even Moria's own shadow.

"Hehehehe." A sly smile finally appeared on his bat-like face.

That was absolutely terrifying!
