One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Why are you leaving so suddenly?

Bucky understood the meaning in her eyes, but simply waved his hand, indicating that he was in no hurry.

These sea kings are so anxious!

The tsunami was a fact, and the collapse of the red earth was also a fact, but these changes in Pakistan were linked to their king.

To the sea kings, it sounded as if the king's will had been completely overwhelmed by the demons.

After all, even Fishman Island is gone.

As they pondered, the Sea King also looked at the Joker with an unusually solemn gaze... Shouldn't the human who guided the Sea King be that person?

But seeing Bai Xing's trusting expression, they didn't say anything.

"Lord Clown...aren't you going to guide them?"

Bai Xing held the bubble above her head and asked a question.

Habits are a terrible thing. Although she still harbored some thoughts of revenge against the clown, her actions were full of docility.

"They'll figure it out themselves."

"If you don't understand..."

Buggy didn't say what he was going to say next, but he was already planning to kidnap Luffy's crewmates again.

He hated these ghostly prophecies.

Tie Luffy up along with the Nika Fruit and send him to Im to see his reaction.

Bubbles rose to the surface, and sunlight suddenly pierced through, almost blindingly so.

He remembered that it was night when he dived into the sea, and he didn't expect it to be dawn so soon.

But soon, a shadow blocked the sunlight above his head, and the huge ark looked like a cloud floating in the sky.

They were a bit slow, but at least they caught up.

"They still have something to say."

Shirahoshi swam to a reef, placed her tail fin on it, and at the same time heard the calls of the sea kings.

They followed us.

Just as the ark was about to descend, it immediately rose again, bending Vander Deacon's body at a ninety-degree angle with Hawkins.

Beneath the sea surface, multiple "peaks" suddenly burst through the water and surfaced, and under the sunlight, the faces of these colossal sea kings could be clearly seen.

The previously hot-tempered eel sea king now has cow-like skin, a manta ray-like body, an exceptionally wide head, and a憨厚 (honest and simple) look in its eyes.

The methods used in farmers' markets are effective in any situation.

I'm not familiar with Gotham's Joker, but college students might remember him.

Bucky popped the bubble and floated in mid-air.

They asked, "Do you have the courage to wage war against the devil?"

The sea kings stared intently at the clown after Shirahoshi finished relaying the information.

Although she wasn't the inheritor of that will, she still managed to guide Aquaman to accept her abilities.

If all else fails, just make do.

We can't wait another eight hundred years, can we?

Bucky's hook did indeed catch the sea kings. Instead of answering, he floated over and landed on top of them.

Then he stretched out both hands.

He slammed it into the air!

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Gas-Gas Fruit were unleashed simultaneously, causing the cracks to spread rapidly from the sky to the sea, while the gas seemed to swirl into a ball in the sky.

"Coincidentally, the thing I have the most of is courage."

Besides presenting the facts, power is also a very important point, and Buggy responded with the power of two Devil Fruits.

The fractured sea surface affected these colossal sea monsters to some extent.

"I have an idea."

"Why don't we start a war now?"

"The war between the sea and the land."

In the following moment, Bucky saw extremely human-like expressions on the faces of these sea kings... from scrutiny and staring to joy.

The phrase "war between the sea and the land" is exactly what the sea kings want to hear, just like the term "pioneer."

They are pioneers of human evolution and representatives of the ocean.

More importantly… the king.

What is the king's attitude?

Yes, Shirahoshi's attitude was actually decided a long time ago.

There were no ships on the calm sea, but countless sea kings emerged.

After the mermaid princess gave a gentle nod, the sea kings suddenly became extremely excited, and their roars startled several birds into fainting.

Even the seagulls that deliver messages carefully avoid this area.

The sea kings have been waiting for this moment for far too long!

"So... this is going to start a war?"

Unlike the Sea Kings' long-awaited excitement, the Joker's companions on the Ark all had extremely solemn expressions.

Vegapunk also looked helpless. Not long ago, he was just hoping that the Joker could rescue him from the Navy's encirclement.

This is something that only the Four Emperors could achieve.

So now they're preparing to wage war against the World Government?

But upon closer examination, the Joker's power has unknowingly expanded to an extremely terrifying level.

Kaido defeated the Joker so badly that he was completely defeated. Crocodile built a military empire in Dressrosa, and the rebels spread across at least ten countries, as well as Amazon Lily, are all natural allies of the Joker.

As for the merfolk and fishmen who are directly under the clown, there's no need to say more. Without the clown, their lives will immediately return to what they were before, or even worse.

Pacifistas and Seraphim—these are the weapons Vegapunk brought with him, along with various poison gases developed by Caesar.

The newly joined flying squirrel, the remnants of Blackbeard's forces, Wang Zhi...

It has both quantity and quality.

If we also consider the Joker's previous schemes and the current roar of the Sea Kings... wow, what can the World Government do to stop this situation?

This was before Vegapunk knew about the tacit understanding between Akainu and the Joker.

In fact, even the world government doesn't know.

Shortly after the tsunami swept across Peach Island, the Marine Headquarters, Mary Geoise, and the fleet re-established contact.

Surprisingly, the World Government did not react much to the death of Saint Vochuli and the Navy's failure to come to his aid.

There may be precedents like Saint Satan and Saint Pitt, whose acceptance has already increased significantly.

But this trend in the navy is not good.

“Sakazuki cannot be trusted. Vochuli conveyed the message of his betrayal before he died.”

"He knew about it himself. After deceiving a group of naval personnel, he never returned to Marineford. Some people saw him rendezvous with Zephyr's fleet."

"The main issue remains the navy..."

The Five Elders have a new conference room, and four of the old men are gathered together discussing how to deal with the Navy.

At least for now, they cannot be punished.

Even if they really want to do it.

But the pressure from the Jokers has forced them to consider the consequences of losing the Navy.

"It cannot be ignored, but it cannot be dealt with too harshly."

On either side of the scales are the violent institutions and the nobility.

If they don't deal with it, it means that the Navy can stop worrying about the lives of the Celestial Dragons and even the Five Elders, let alone the nobles of ordinary member states.

But if we go too far... that Sakazuki guy will definitely jump out immediately.

Now there's competition in the navy...

"At the very least, Aokiji can no longer be the marshal. He must take responsibility for the orders he gave."

"Then who should be the marshal... I even had to return Steelbone Kong's resignation."

"Given the current situation, we need a marshal who is mature, stable, and loyal enough, and I think Kizaru would be perfect."

Compared to Akainu, who directly betrayed him, Satan now finds Kizaru quite agreeable; at least this guy knows to come to his rescue immediately.

The three veteran admirals... now only Kizaru is left as an option, right?

The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely oppressive.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Now, let's talk about how to handle the Joker's matter."

"He's coming again."

The four old men suddenly felt extremely tired.

The Joker has become a major threat to the world government, and the impact of his attacks and live broadcasts is unprecedented.

Yes, especially live streaming.

The legends about the sun god Nika, which have been passed down among the Bakania people for hundreds of years, are not as effective as a clown's three-minute live stream.

"Then let's use that weapon..."

"Even if it comes at a price... we have to end all of this."

The weary voices of several old men echoed continuously in the tall conference room.
