One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

"Report from headquarters: Mary Geoise has been attacked by the Holy Mother's Flame, and an earthquake has occurred on the Red Line!"

"Is it possible to get in touch with them?"

After the silence disappeared, the continuous roar of artillery fire filled everyone's ears.

Most of the lieutenant generals and admirals are currently at the front lines, with only lieutenant generals like Tsuru, Aokiji, and Dujuan, who rose through the ranks from staff officers, remaining on the command ship.

The faces of the group were heavy; the chaos caused by the betrayal of the Silent Domain and the flying squirrel had finally been suppressed.

Now Mary Geoise and Vocioli are both experiencing problems.

This dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the troops.

Especially the soldiers who are facing pirates.

"Should we delay for a bit?"

Du Juan wore a wide-brimmed navy cap, her brows furrowed.

One of them needs to be solved first.

They don't have detailed information about the Holy Land, so worrying won't help. They should first see how to solve the clown problem.

This guy is practically taunting me right to my face.

"After all, it's a live broadcast to the entire world. If we don't respond, the world government and the kings of the member states will probably be in big trouble—"

Before Dujuan could finish speaking, Qingzhi raised his hand to interrupt her.

He closed the Den Den Mushi, his expression indifferent.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Continue the attack."

No, the Five Elders have been kidnapped?

Du Juan's eyes widened in surprise. She felt she had just committed a grave offense by suggesting delay when the Five Elders were being kidnapped.

The world government's top brass doesn't consider the situation they face.

For them, the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders are the most important.

But the usually conservative Marshal Aokiji actually intends to continue the attack?

Conservative Party: You're being a bit too conservative.

"I agree as well."

Crane tapped the table. "To lay down your weapon at a time like this is tantamount to suicide."

"I will take responsibility for what happens afterward."

None of the three considered the option of laying down their weapons for the sake of Saint Vochuli.

The position of the world government is not their position.

He is prepared to take responsibility afterward.

It was as if Aokiji was opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But I decided against it.

He just felt that this might be the option the Joker wanted to see.

However, choosing Aokiji is not difficult.

Furthermore, I don't feel that the crane needs to take any responsibility.

Things might be completely different afterward.

While the command ship was making the decision, on the live broadcast side, after a few glances from Bucky, Nine-Tailed Fox wisely gave the order:

"Lay down your weapons, all naval personnel lay down their weapons."

"I issue this order in my capacity as one of the Five Elders!"

The expression of the old wild boar from the mountain stronghold was spot on. When he held the golden Den Den Mushi and gave the order, his fearful yet unwilling expression, his forced reluctance, and his venomous snake-like demeanor ready to bite back at any moment were truly worthy of a pirate who could be locked up on the sixth floor of the prison.

Don't underestimate this golden Den Den Mushi.

This symbolizes the power to issue a Buster Call.

Aside from the Five Elders, only a Marine Admiral can possess a Golden Den Den Mushi.

The army that carries out the Buster Call will not ask any questions, regardless of the target.

Judicial Island has suffered such pain before.

Despite being an island under the World Government's jurisdiction, and despite being caused by Spandam's accidental actions, the Buster Call ships bombed it without hesitation.

But the navy will certainly not be ambiguous at this moment.

For a while after he finished speaking, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Bucky thought they would at least hesitate for a while.

"Hmm, it seems our loyal navy has some ideas of its own."

This navy officer is a little too sensible.

This reduced Bucky's fun by at least 80%.

He also wanted to see the navy's disgusted expression, like they'd eaten shit.

"Nobody cares about you."

During the short time the live broadcast lasted, it had already gotten light.

The rain has stopped, and a cool breeze is blowing across the sea.

If it weren't for the sounds of artillery fire and the smell of gunpowder, the air would be very fresh right now.

The view is much clearer now.

Ba Ji climbed up to the deck and turned the camera around; he could then see the warships in the distance.

Oh, and meteorites too.

Fujitora's all-out attack was truly terrifying.

Especially on this kind of battlefield.

He pulled down the three meteorites at once, and the raging flames had the power to burn mountains and boil seas, even stealing away most of the morning sunlight.

The meteorite was aimed at a pirate fleet.

Kaido merely snorted a few times, perhaps dissatisfied that no one was confronting him head-on, before suddenly transforming into a blue dragon and disappearing into the lingering dark clouds in the sky.

The dragon opened its mouth and continuously exhaled hot breath towards the meteorites in mid-air.

The pillar of flame pierced through the meteorite, splitting it into countless fragments.

It no longer possesses its former overwhelming power, but destroying the flagship is still no problem.

However, Kaido's intentions don't stop there.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he stretched his body and spun rapidly in mid-air, the clouds swirling into the shape of a silver river, the gale cutting through the air like sharp arrows, and the seawater being churned up as well.

The tornado, suspended in mid-air like a basin, swept up fragments of the meteorite and then, with a furious roar from Kaido, hurtled towards the Navy fleet.

Fujitora's gravity ability is useful, but Kaido's Azure Dragon form is almost entirely designed for naval battles, making him completely unsuitable for land battles.

The tornado rushed towards us, stirring up more seawater and clouds. The sky suddenly turned as blue as the sea. Meteorites that had been burning red-hot from friction with the air were transformed into rapidly spinning iron blocks after being washed by the seawater.

Fujitora scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

The meteorite he summoned turned out to be the enemy's weapon.

However, the Navy's advantage over pirates lies in their mid-level forces.

Garp led the way, launching special iron bullets one after another from his fists on the warship, at a speed even faster than the cannonballs fired from the bow cannon.

They collided with the cooled meteorite and both turned to dust.

Other lieutenant generals also joined in, most of them unleashing slashes to shatter the meteorites in mid-air, while a few, like the giant lieutenant generals, stood on their massive warships, raised their hands, and swatted the incoming meteorites back like baseballs.

Some less sophisticated methods involve using the cannons of warships to fire at the tornadoes.

In an instant, countless attacks were directed at the tornado, forming a curtain of light in mid-air, like a net, dragging the tornado forward from both directions.

Onigumo's face was grim. Seeing that the tornado's power had weakened, all eight swords drooped down.

The remaining wind force was at most equivalent to a strong typhoon, and although it carried meteorite dust, it was nothing to the navy soldiers.

If you can't even withstand this, then you might as well die sooner rather than later.

This was the first time that the top combat forces of both sides had clashed.

However, what truly darkened Onigumo's expression was what he saw in the video Den Den Mushi.

The Five Elders have been kidnapped...

They even demanded that they lay down their weapons in front of these ferocious pirates…

That's absolutely unbelievable!

"No matter what choice you make, I will never lay down my weapons!"

"Even...the Five Elders!"

Onigumo, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, was puffing out smoke as he spoke.

He would never commit suicide.

However, one cannot generalize the attitude of the entire navy by using one's own attitude.

After all, the difference between two lieutenant generals can sometimes be ridiculously large.

A certain Iron Fist Vice Admiral can single-handedly take on most of the Royal Team plus a former Admiral, and only shows signs of weakness after being forcibly killed off by plot.

But some lieutenant generals... barely showed their faces before being used as cannon fodder.

Onigumo's heaviness didn't last long, as Aokiji's command came through his communication Den Den Mushi.

"Oh."

A rare smile appeared on this guy's ashen face.
