One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Pakistan was naturally aware of this as well.

Bucky: "The captain threw the pointer into the sea."

“But it was eaten by the Sea Kings.” Barrett glanced at the Sea King vortex beside him, seemingly plotting something.

"And then I got this pointer."

Although his eyes were fixed on the clown, his expression was arrogant. The mermaid princess floated on the surface of the sea and followed beside the clown.

Barrett's gaze swept over her with a somewhat complicated expression.

Barrett's words and attitude were modified to better fit the character of the Devil's Heir...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 273 Damn intern!

He was arrogant and unruly, like a lone wolf that had experienced countless life-and-death battles. Even when trapped in a snare, he would still look at people with extremely fierce eyes.

This is Bucky's impression of Barrett.

"Cooperation... Hehehe, you don't quite understand your own situation."

Buggy grinned. He was indeed somewhat interested in Laugh Tale's permanent pointer, not because he wanted to become the Pirate King.

He just wanted to fuel the fire of his game.

The reality of a massive tsunami and the prophecy of a world-ending flood would prompt people with a sense of crisis to spontaneously head to Mary Geoise.

But there is one exception.

Pirates who routinely keep their heads on their hips wouldn't necessarily care about this.

However, adding a permanent pointer changes that.

They're not Luffy, who keeps saying he wants to enjoy the adventure; if there's a shortcut, he'll just take it!

That's One Piece, everything!

Bucky used to be tempted, but now he's just bait.

Barrett listened to his words and instead of getting angry, he laughed.

A sea king with a bird's beak pecked at him, piercing his armor-hide-protected skin, and dark red blood flowed out.

"Hehehe... I am very clear about my situation."

Blood flowed freely, and Barrett swiftly grabbed the sharp beak with his other hand, twisting it with all his might to break off the sea king's beak.

While his Conqueror's Haki was incredibly powerful, he also possessed martial arts skills honed over half a lifetime, making every part of his body perfectly prepared for killing.

He picked up the sharp beak and swung it around like a spear, aiming straight at Pakistan.

The sea kings can't be killed off completely, but as long as the clown or the sea king can be killed, the leaderless sea kings will still just be an embellishment and decoration of the ocean!

Sea Kings are not on the list of the strongest.

"What makes you think you can beat me, trainee crew member!"

Barrett first stepped on the head of a sea king, and the air beneath his feet suddenly exploded, propelling him into the air like a rough yet agile giant ape. His increasingly rapid breathing filled his eyes.

For Barrett, this kind of exertion actually stimulated a certain nerve, making him extremely excited and constantly squeezing every bit of his body's potential.

He landed precisely on the bird's beak, and the sharp bone cracked instantly.

The bird's beak was not used for attack, but rather as a stepping stone.

Barrett's gaze was still fixed on Bucky, ferocious, fierce, and tinged with contempt.

Barrett had only seen what Bucky was like now in newspapers and live broadcasts, but he knew Bucky very well what he was like twenty years ago.

Unlike Shanks, this trainee crew member Buggy has the greed of a pirate, but not a shred of pirate courage.

They are also vain and concerned about their image, and never put in the effort to improve their combat capabilities.

Cooperation, and such trainee crew members?

This option simply cannot exist!

I alone can kill all the strong people in this world!

Barrett's dried-up Conqueror's Haki began to flicker again with the beating of his heart, and Armament Haki, instead of protecting his skin, gathered together on his palms.

Faced with such a despicable act of attrition, one must bare one's sharp teeth and risk one's life to bite one to death first!

This is what Barrett learned in the battle against the Navy's Buster Call.

"It's been so long... I haven't heard that title before."

Bucky's memories were stirred up, and he seemed to ignore the lone wolf's desperate struggle.

He clicked his tongue twice, and when he estimated the distance was about right, he squatted down, breathed on his fist, and gestured a couple more times.

Is the caged bird trying to break free?

"No, he can't escape."

Bucky lightly slammed his foot into the sea.

The power that shattered the world roared forth.

Then there were a few cracking sounds, and the surging seawater seemed to freeze, with cracks spreading deeper and deeper like shattered glass.

As Barrett stood up, the seawater suddenly broke into steps, like cracked stones, irregularly compressed and piled up to form a sharp water tower, blocking Barrett's way.

"Leave me with my back to you. Yes, at this point, the camera should slowly emerge from underwater to show the difference in height between the seawater and the ship's side. Finally, you should see my back!"

Bucky grinned and muttered to himself.

"Hahaha!"

"This footage would definitely get full marks in Murray's talk show opening call!"

The Joker inexplicably laughed heartily, seemingly recalling the moved looks from the citizens when he appeared on Gotham City television programs.

He was starting to think about going back.

“Just do what you’re supposed to do.” Bucky suddenly turned around and raised an eyebrow at Shirahoshi.

"..."

"…good!"

The Little Mermaid shrank her neck at first, then immediately responded loudly.

In fact, without her command, a colossal sea king burst forth from the sea surface, the broken wall of water serving as a ladder for the sea king to leap.

For a moment, even the last rays of the setting sun were blocked.

The Sea King vortex moved toward Barret again.

"It needs to be worked out a little longer."

When the colossal sea king fell, the sunlight had completely disappeared, and Barrett's attempt to break through the vortex's blockade was thwarted by the water wall.

Buggy, unhurried, had Jinbe step back and move closer to Wang Zhi's ship.

"The show in the arena will continue immediately."

He floated aboard the small boat, clapping.

"So, none of you have anything to say?"

Wang Zhi, the flying squirrel, and the nine-tailed fox remained silent.

"For example... Ah, esteemed Mr. Clown, why did you refuse this sacred duel? Oh, did he drop the white glove? Did anyone see him drop the white glove?"

"...Probably not."

The flying squirrel, already accustomed to the clown's erratic thinking, responded coldly.

All three men looked sullen, which made the Joker feel rather bored. How could there be such boring people in his gang?

"Or rather, well, Mr. Clown, we will definitely retrieve the Laugh Tale compass for you and help you conquer this Grand Line!"

"Really, I'll be very touched."

This time, the flying squirrel didn't speak either.

If the clown could peacefully pursue the Pirate King's treasure and fight to the death with the other Four Emperors, the World Government would be most gratified.

As long as he doesn't stare at Mary Geoise...

Unfortunately, Laugh Tale's charm was merely average in Bucky's eyes.

He shrugged. "Let's see how our future world king performs."

King of the World...?

Bucky's casual remark sent a shiver down the spines of all three men.

They were certainly aware of the Great Flood prophecy, and if the islands were truly all submerged... it wouldn't be unacceptable to call Shirahoshi the King of the World.

The three of them lowered their heads, their gazes seemingly piercing through layers of seawater to fall upon the mermaid princess beneath the surface.

Unconsciously, a sense of apprehension and... awe arose within me.

Even when Jinbe turned over and sat on the small boat, he was deep in thought.

"Come out and fight, you cowardly intern!"

Barrett's face was flushed, and Armament Haki was applied to his palms and swung wildly, like the claws of a lion, tearing apart layer after layer of water walls.

The pent-up energy that had been building up for so long could only be released at sea.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the clown's retreating figure.

The defenses have been breached!

That damn intern is totally messing with me!

After expending all that energy, a feeling of powerlessness welled up from the very core of my being.

All told, he had been fighting continuously for an entire afternoon, and the constant need to stay airborne had further depleted his stamina.

Do you want to wear yourself down to death?
