One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

He found a reason for himself.

"Nami and the others are already on the island, why are you still here?"

"And you, you lecherous cook! Just because it's hell, does that mean you can just leave both ladies on the island?"

This sounds like something Usopp would do...

Zoro carefully recalled Usopp's behavior at this moment, and combined with his usual calm demeanor, his words sounded even more believable.

It's easier to spot an honest person when they're exaggerating...

Moreover, Zoro was telling the truth.

He successfully turned the tables and began to criticize his companions.

"You know very well what Nami is auctioning off. Do you really expect the Joker to protect him?"

"Are you just going to stand here and watch your comrades get surrounded by the navy?"

"Who was she hosting the auction for?"

"no way!!"

Sanji took the lead, his face showing a resolute determination as he faced death, kicking up a cloud of dust on the beach.

Chopper transformed into a four-legged sprinter, with Brook and Franky giving chase.

As for Luffy...

He used his arm as a slingshot to launch himself out, the sound still echoing in mid-air.

good results.

It seems I really underestimated Usopp.

"Great, now no one will know I took the wrong turn."

Zoro nodded, keeping up with his companions as they ran, kicking up clouds of dust. With them leading the way, he shouldn't get lost, right?

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes not on the road, but looking back at the Sunny, which lay forlornly anchored on the sea.

Meanwhile, on another stretch of sea, countless black dots appeared.

The navy is about to arrive.

The debate in the operational meeting was nearing its end.

"Forget about those pirates. As long as we destroy all of the clown's plans, those opportunistic fools will retreat on their own!"

"My suggestion is to first bombard the area with artillery shells, destroying all buildings within range!"

"This is the best interpretation of the navy's majesty!"

As Onigumo spoke, he exhaled smoke rings. He was an absolute hawk in the Navy, along with Akainu, Doberman, and others.

His suggestion was similar to that of Saint Vocuri, and the bald old man nodded in support.

However, Aokiji and the three generals remained completely calm.

He seemed unsurprised by the suggestion, but remained silent.

"Too hasty!"

Gumir slammed his hand on the table twice; he had always believed in the power of calm and measured justice.

"Shells can't solve all the problems!"

"That's because we don't have enough shells!"

"What if they were to hold the auction underground? Would artillery shells force them all out?!"

Or maybe they're not even on the island?

The auction will continue!

That's right.

Aokiji glanced at the old navy man, and seeing that the time was right, finally spoke:

"Let's arrange it this way. First, clear the coastline with artillery fire to ensure there are no ambushes."

"Then, the warships will gradually dock, the Pacifistas will carry out a sweep, and Kizaru and Seraphim will attack the castle to carry out the decapitation. Regardless of whether the Joker's auction is held or not, the destruction of a kingdom can serve as a sufficient deterrent to the world. Besides, this is only a non-member state."

"Also, unless absolutely necessary, avoid provoking other pirates."

Aokiji's explanation was rather general, but it was enough.

The key is to see how the Five Elders view it. Although Aokiji has already formed his own faction within the Navy, the final decision-making power for such a large-scale operation still rests with these five old men.

Aokiji couldn't estimate how much power the World Government, in its rage, had mobilized besides the Navy.

He couldn't see Vaucioli Saint's neck, but he could see that the old man's eyes were squinting and his brows were furrowed.

Clearly, they were not very satisfied with Aokiji's plan.

Not washing it completely is far too conservative!

However, at that moment, an agent walked in and said to Satoshi Vochuli, "We have received the signal to broadcast Den Den Mushi. They have indeed started broadcasting live."

Can you pinpoint the source of the signal?

“Uh,” the agent breathed a sigh of relief, “We’ve found many signal sources. There are four on Peach Island, and two more in the sky and underwater.”

We cannot determine which one is currently being broadcast live.

The Den Den Mushi (snail communication device) was, after all, Vegapunk's creation. The fact that they were able to trace the source of the signal was already a result of the scientists working day and night to crack it.

It's a bit difficult for them to pinpoint exactly which one is streaming.

"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash!"

Vochuli Saint addressed these words to the navy and special agents present.

Despite his criticism, he understood that a simple whitewashing plan wouldn't work, so he could only nod and tacitly approve of Aokiji's plan.

"If we can kill the Joker," Vochury's eyes gleamed with malice, "then those three Celestial Dragons can be the price!"

The Joker's hatred for the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, and the Five Elders is beyond what can be measured by bounties.

To a powerhouse at the level of the Four Emperors, this thing is just a string of meaningless numbers.

The presence of the world's most heinous criminals and the Five Elders truly reflects the extent of the World Government's hatred for the Joker.

Aokiji glanced at the agent casually, nodded, and said:

"The detailed plan will be left to the General Staff to formulate."

"Let me explain the objectives of this operation."

"If the clown doesn't show up, our goal is to disrupt the auction and rescue the three Celestial Dragons. If the clown does show up, we'll kill him at all costs."

Below the stage, both the flying squirrel and Doro kept their heads down, their expressions unreadable.

As Duolu lowered her head, she couldn't help but wipe her nose, a sly smile on her face.

These navy guys... don't seem to have figured out the situation yet.

The meeting was adjourned.

The lieutenant generals returned to their respective warships.

The flying squirrel and Doro didn't even exchange a glance, acting completely like strangers. By the time he returned to the captain's cabin, the video Den Den Mushi was already playing the video.

"Pirates?"

"Where did he come from?"

Finding a host isn't difficult, but finding someone with the courage to host a clown-organized auction is.

The flying squirrel's eyes swept over the three Celestial Dragons behind the little thief.

These three guys are not important.

The important thing is the Five Elders.

As darkness fell, the sound of the sea lapping against the ship seemed to grow louder, and the white waves left behind by the warships were quickly covered by other warships before they surged far away.

Flying squirrels have excellent eyesight; even at night, they can see that Pink Island is not far away.

If a reporter were to look down from mid-air, they could see the ships below, which appear as black dots, and vaguely divided into two groups.

One of the formations was densely packed, divided into three echelons at the front and rear, with black dots of similar size, consisting of only about ten large black dots.

It is clearly a naval fleet.

Unlike the navy's fleet, there are several other forces joining in the fun.

Their formation was scattered, and there was even a sense of mutual wariness. The black dots varied in size, some were quite exaggerated, while others were so small that they were almost invisible.

Quite by chance, the navy, pirates, and other forces all approached this erotic paradise that night.

No one waited until the ninth day, not only the Joker, but also these forces.

They rushed to the island as soon as they received the news.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they wanted to auction off the Celestial Dragons too.

Perhaps the auction format gave these unrelated individuals a sense of participation in humiliating the Celestial Dragons.

They don't have the guts to actually bid, but they not only have the guts to join in the fun and raise the price a few times, they have a lot of guts.

This led to the formation of a scattered fleet that was close to a naval fleet.

Upon closer inspection, this scattered fleet clearly has two central points, corresponding to two royal fleets.

Kaido and Shanks, whom they had met before.

Other forces also gather and disperse, but their overall scale is not large.

Both sides maintained a tacit understanding that did not need to be explicitly stated.

At least for tonight, the Navy has not taken action against any of the pirate ships that have appeared along the way.

Even if it's just a pirate ship with a bounty of only tens of millions.

This indulgence emboldened the pirates, but the endless fleet before them poured cold water on their ambitions.

Let the clowns handle it; they can't handle this kind of situation.
