One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

The sea was like a giant mouth that kept chewing and swallowing, inch by inch swallowing the massive ship. Before long, the ship of Vocuri Saint was just like an unknown goddess statue with its bow rammed.

The goddess statue raises her hands, as if roaring at the enemy when the ship is upright.

When the ship stood upright amidst the chewing of the seawater, the raised hand looked like a cry for help.

This place has gone from being the center of the fleet to its edge.

A ship painted black sailed past the statue of the goddess.

Someone on the ship fired a shot, shattering the goddess statue's hand.

……

……

The Red-Haired Pirates' ship was still some distance from the front lines, but it stopped here.

There were ice floes blocking their way, so even if they wanted to pass, they couldn't.

"Let's put an end to this farce."

Reality is much like what Shanks foresaw in his prophecy.

Countless shipwrecks, a clown grabbing the neck of the Saint of Vauci and hawking his wares...

Of course, it's impossible to see every detail of the future; being able to see a near-perfect result is already the pinnacle of Observation Haki in this world.

To some extent, they have all reached the level of Devil Fruit abilities.

It's not hard to see that the navy actually has the upper hand in the current situation.

This is not land, but the sea.

Those with Logia-type abilities or the ability to fly have a huge advantage.

Aokiji's Ice Age pulled this sea area to the Arctic, turning it into a thick ice sheet that froze all pirate ships on it.

Meanwhile, the navy's warships took the opportunity to continuously destroy pirate ships.

However, there were some situations that were beyond the Navy's expectations.

"Depend on!"

A group of pirates hurriedly jumped off the deck, where the flames had already engulfed the entire ship.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

A group of people stood on the ice.

"What else can we do! Since we've lost our ship, we'll have to steal a warship to use as our vessel!"

"Charge! If we don't get it, we'll die here!"

When these hyenas had one leg cut off, their first reaction wasn't fear, but rather an even more reckless ferocity.

Previously, it was only for the sake of seizing profits, but now it's for their own life and death.

Without a boat, they were trapped in this vast sea, with no idea when the ice beneath their feet would melt again.

This is a life-or-death crisis.

"Aim at those pirates!"

"Send the warships further away! Damn it, pirates are coming! Kill them!"

Blood and fire battles raged in these waters, making even naval vice admirals seem insignificant.

Strange and unusual abilities kept emerging.

Morgans filmed for a while, then couldn't help but turn the camera to the other side, to another, even more eye-catching battlefield, a battlefield where almost no ordinary pirates dared to approach.

A showdown between naval heroes, naval admirals, and the strongest creatures.

Chapter 268 News from the Red Earth Continent

……

"Look over there...there's something new over there!"

The birdman chirped and turned his gaze away, urging Alne to lower himself even further.

He spotted a somewhat familiar figure and tried to get a better look at it.

The figure was wearing a white suit and was tall. When he boarded the warship, the naval soldiers could be seen giving him obvious compliments.

You have to get closer to see the mask the figure is wearing. It has a mournful face and a white background, very much in the style of CP0. However, when you get closer, the birdman can smell a sulfurous odor.

The bird's feathers immediately bristled.

"Ha, he's actually back!"

Morgans was more excited than anyone else!

The major event he once missed, former Navy Admiral Sakazuki, is now appearing on the battlefield as a CP0 member.

"Akainu, he actually showed up here too! How lively, this is really lively!"

What are they saying?

The birdman tried to descend further, but the shells below barely grazed him, and Arne refused to go down no matter what.

After Sakazuki boarded Onigumo's warship, it was unclear what they were discussing.

Then they saw a true fighter of the Beasts Pirates being dismembered into pieces by Onigumo, with blood splattered all over the deck.

When Akainu stepped on it, the blood under his feet immediately dried up.

"He made his choice too quickly."

It must have been premeditated for a long time.

Akainu didn't say the last sentence.

His subordinates looked on with surprise and delight, but Sakazuki had no interest in saying anything more.

"The World Government will not allow such a navy."

To be fair, Onigumo thought Aokiji had done a really good job this time, without delaying the battle on the front lines in the slightest.

Akainu was referring to a real-world problem.

Regardless of whether they win or lose on the battlefield, they will inevitably face suspicion from the World Government upon their return.

What is Akainu's purpose in appearing here?

Should we still use the CP0 identity?

Fortunately, Sakazuki had no intention of making him guess; he had several other people he wanted to win over.

“Come with me to hunt down the Joker. This war is pointless... As long as we kill the Joker, all the previous crimes can be forgiven.”

It's a pity that communication with the Five Elders was lost, otherwise Sakazuki could have relayed the Five Elders' orders. Killing the clown is the most important thing for the Celestial Dragons.

As for the Navy and pirates... they don't want to see either side become dominant.

Onigumo pondered for a moment, "This won't convince the masses."

Aokiji just boosted the morale of all the Marines, and now Akainu is asking them to turn their backs... That's really difficult.

Onigumo wasn't unwilling, but he couldn't operate the warship by himself.

Moreover, Aokiji's strength has already been proven in his fierce battle with Kaido at this time, and strength is fundamental.

This is also true.

For Akainu to do something, besides legitimacy, it's also important that he can demonstrate his strength.

Onigumo is telling him these things now because of Akainu's strength; he was an absolute main force in the Marineford War.

However, people are forgetful, so they have to show off their muscles every few years to evoke people's memories.

In the end, it will still fall on these pirates.

"Then let's end this war."

Whether by coincidence or not, Akainu's thoughts unexpectedly overlapped with the Joker's at this moment; he was also recalling the scene when Shanks stopped him.

However, his method of ending the war might be somewhat different...

……

……

"One good news and one bad news."

Bucky's small boat moved exceptionally swiftly between the naval fleets, but his attention was entirely elsewhere.

He just hung up a phone call.

A phone call from Smoker finally brought the Joker some information about what was happening on the Red Line.

"The explosion did happen, but it wasn't caused by the Holy Mother's Flames..."

"This is interesting."

According to Smoker, the Virgin Mary's Flame was nearly halfway activated when it was suddenly destroyed by an even larger and more elusive force.

The good news is that this force also shook the soil layers all the way down to the seabed in Mary Geoise, and the bombs that Zephyr and his team had prepared responded simultaneously.

From 10,000 meters above sea level to 10,000 meters below sea level, a chain of explosions, like dominoes, caused a massive collapse of the red earth continent that had stood for countless years.

Smoker's final advice was to move everyone who could be transferred to the ark, and to prevent the ark from remaining on the sea any longer.

The void where Fishman Island was located was suddenly filled by the sinking Red Line. This sudden collapse triggered a massive tsunami that started from the Red Line and the center of the world where Mary Geoise was located, and swept straight towards the New World and Paradise!

The nearest islands have been completely submerged.

"This is good news."

This is how Bucky described it.

“We don’t need to think about how to persuade this group to go to the Red Line… If we want to survive, we have to go to the Red Line, hehehehe, there is no other way.”

Bucky was laughing heartily.
