One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

A sense of injustice had long existed among all levels of the navy.

Now it seems that the most important thing is actually what Im holds, which is most likely the weapon of the Heavenly King.

It is a deterrent force similar to nuclear weapons, which has kept the navy and other countries around the world from harboring any disloyal intentions.

But the greatest effect of this threatening force is always before it is used.

Once you actually use it, there are only two possible outcomes.

But Bucky didn't need to say much; a little prompting was all it took for the group to understand.

"That would require a great deal of chaos..."

Morgans murmured to himself, lost in thought.

The deck talk ended when the kerosene lamps ran out.

The next morning, the people anchored in the Sabaody Archipelago saw the ark move.

"Quick, let's follow them!"

"Rob all the Celestial Dragons' wealth!"

"And the navy, those lackeys are no good either!"

"I have nothing left, so why do they still have everything!"

Cloud, piloting the ship that had come from Water Seven, followed the Ark without hesitation.

Those around him were people who had also lost everything in the tsunami.

Some of them are even ability users.

The ark did not fly into the towering clouds, but moved at a distance of about thirty meters above the sea.

The Sabaody Archipelago is very close to the red earth continent.

Even though the ark was moving slowly, it only took half an hour to see the island that looked like a series of steps leading to the top.

As Bucky predicted, the World Government had indeed chosen a battlefield.

At the forefront of the stepped island, countless warships are prominently displayed, their cold gray color scheme giving off a chilling feeling.

The island of Steps has been transformed by the navy into a military base.

Outposts on the sea surface still gleamed with blinding light.

Fishmen and mermaids gradually descended from the ark.

Bucky crouched at the bow of the ship, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Whitebeard. Was this the same scene he had witnessed during the Marineford War?

This is so...heartwarming!

The clown narrowed his eyes, realizing that many sniper rifles were now aimed at him.

After the mermaids and fishmen, the seraphim and pacifists also disembarked from the ark.

Claude and the others were both delighted and terrified as they watched the giant robot suddenly appear.

After unloading the load, Bucky patted the bow of the ship, where Hawkins and Vander Deacon were with him.

"It has to crash into something. I made that decision when I brought the ship out of Fishman Island."

As Bajit stood up, several bullets pierced his body.

Rows of warships began firing at the island disguised as a ship.

"Now is the time."

He pointed in the direction of Mary Geoise.

"Hehehe... Let's crash into it!"

Chapter 278 The Underwater Prison

"Let's crash into it, hahahahaha!"

Bucky looked delighted, his eyes fixed on the top of the Red Line.

He is an impatient and very impetuous person.

They couldn't even wait a day or two; they only thought about creating more and bigger excitement to fill the hole in their hearts, which were full of holes and leaks.

Hawkins remained calm, as he was used to the Joker's orders, while Vander Deiken IX was unusually nervous.

"No, you can't do this!"

Vander Deiken was constantly suspended at the bow of the ship, exposed to the wind, sun, and rain, making him dark-skinned and thin, like a dried rat.

But upon hearing the clown's words, his listless eyes suddenly widened.

The Ark is flying because of his ability. The Target-Target Fruit keeps the ship in a state of constant pursuit of him. If it were to crash into him, wouldn't it just be letting him crash into it first?

It crashed into the mainland first, followed by an ark the size of an island...

Between the mainland and the islands, what merit do I possess?

It'll turn into fish paste, won't it?

No, there wasn't even any fish paste left!

"I've worked for the gang, they can't treat me like this!"

The striped tiger shark man struggled desperately, shouting, "I have something useful, I still have more, Lord Clown!"

He was met only with two exceptionally indifferent faces.

“Life and death, fate will decide.” Hoskins took a card from his sleeve and placed it on Vander Deiken’s forehead.

They then grabbed his struggling hands and feet and nailed them down.

"I'm only responsible for taking you to the crossroads of fate."

The nails in his hands were unusual; they were wrapped with straw, as if they had been enchanted. When they were driven into Vander Deacon's hands and feet, no blood was seen seeping out.

But Vander Deiken suddenly lost control of his body.

"The helmsman must naturally take good care of the rudder."

Hawkins' ten fingers transformed into intertwined straws, weaving the shape of a scarecrow. Judging from its features, it was a replica of Vander Deikun.

The Joker's theory about Devil Fruits was originally developed by him, so Hawkins couldn't have remained stagnant for so long.

His exploration of the Scarecrow Fruit has veered further and further into the realm of mystery and curses.

They've also figured out some techniques for utilizing the Vander Deiken rudder, which is essentially the Target Fruit.

"accelerate."

The scarecrow formed from his fingers stretched out on its own, and Vander Deikun's body also stretched out, causing the ark to suddenly accelerate its trajectory towards him.

"... "

What's the principle behind this?

Buggy searched through his memories but couldn't find any similar settings. Oh well, Devil Fruit development is largely related to imagination anyway; this thing is essentially something humans came up with based on evolution.

He merely twitched his lips twice before turning his gaze back to the naval fleet below.

The Ark had already arrived above the naval fleet; its enormous size meant the warships didn't need to aim at it.

Just load it like crazy and then fire.

However, the ark was made of some kind of wood, which was incredibly tough, and it had been submerged in the bay of Fishman Island for hundreds of years.

Despite the barrage of shells, the barnacles clinging to the hull were simply scattered away.

Definitely defensive armor.

The navy was rather embarrassed; well, literally speaking, besides barnacles, there were also various shells and coral carcasses.

"Isn't anyone going to step in and stop this?"

Bucky glanced around, but none of the Navy admirals seemed inclined to make a move. Instead, they eagerly attacked the group of people searching for hope.

The eight-foot-long jade pendant has reappeared. With such a dense array of targets, you're just going to shoot down a flag?

In some ways, the accuracy is indeed terrifying.

And then there's Fujitora, the blind general who's already sitting on the deck of a ship, trying to persuade them to retreat with words.

It's not that they're indecisive, but that the clowns are too despicable.

According to the World Government's definition, these people who set sail without permission should indeed be considered pirates.

But their hesitant eyes and trembling hands revealed that they were absolute novices.

To use a more accurate term, they are disaster victims.

The despicable clown incited a group of disaster victims to launch an attack on the navy.

So Kizaru and Fujitora must have been reluctant to let him win, which is why they kept holding back, right?

Fujitora is hard to say, but as for Kizaru, Buggy thinks he just doesn't want to stand out.

The situation has deteriorated to this extent... why bother being the villain?

Garp glared and puffed out his cheeks, seemingly angry at the Joker or something else, his face stern, and his aura suddenly intensified.

He looked like he was about to take action.

Bucky also noticed the sudden surge of power from the naval hero. Garp sprang to life and appeared in front of the Ark.

The raised iron fist seemed intent on stopping the island in its tracks.

“Anyone can show up…” Buggy’s expression was strange and mocking, seemingly not taking the naval hero’s raised fist too seriously. “Only you, Garp, can’t.”

"At such an advanced age, losing another grandson would be very painful, wouldn't it?"

What will people from your hometown think of you?

Bucky didn't have any tricks up his sleeve regarding the straw hat, but that didn't stop him from looking completely confident and in control.

As is widely known, the Celestial Dragons auction he held was hosted by Luffy's crew, and the Straw Hat crew was the ones who repelled the Marines' attempts to stop them.
