One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

Filled with hatred, he urged the giant gecko to climb toward Mary Geoise.

"idiot."

Akainu gave a cold reply.

Facing a masked head.

The head was wearing a half-broken red mask.

The bright red of blood and the vivid red of paint are clearly distinct.

Bright red represents a joyful smile, while crimson represents bloodshed.

Beyond the mask, the fur on CP0's face was scorched black by the high temperature, sticking to their face and making them unrecognizable as human.

His upright eyes gradually lost their luster.

The head was held alone in Akainu's hand.

The flesh beneath the white suit had been swallowed by molten lava.

"A rat is still a rat."

"No matter how you try to escape, you can't change this fact."

Even now, Akainu still holds Buggy in contempt.

What right does a clown who is constantly on the run, a clown who doesn't even dare to face him head-on, have to be taken seriously?

If this weren't Mary Geoise, Akainu would probably have dragged the entire town into a sea of ​​molten lava the moment the other side touched the taboo, giving these shadow rats absolutely no room to maneuver.

"Strength is absolute."

He casually tossed CP0's head aside, and the scalding molten lava slowly swallowed the masked man's last traces.

"Everyone has their own weaknesses, and everyone has a part of themselves that they have to conform to."

"That includes me, of course, beautiful lady."

Bucky bowed slightly, as if to express his respect for the tall woman in front of him.

He was still wearing the CP0 striped mask, but one side was broken.

Well, although he often defecates and urinates in front of the World Government and the Navy, he doesn't have many opportunities to actually encounter a Vice Admiral-level Navy officer.

Onigumo could barely be considered one, but the tall woman in front of him was the second.

So, are you willing to end it here?

Gion smiled slightly, her solemn steps taking on a touch of allure.

An intoxicating aroma was vying to penetrate his brain.

"I've memorized your scent. At least here in the Holy Land, there's no point in running away anymore."

She silently approached Bucky.

She lowered her head slightly, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Having once been on the Pirate King's ship, you should know the extent to which Observation Haki at its full power can achieve, right?"

"That's enough. What you've done is enough to make you famous all over the world."

So I'll spend the rest of my life in the Great Prison, Gion Shinmichi.

From Saint Charmaco, Saint Myklos, to the place where CP0 was making strange noises, the opponent's path was constantly approaching the center of the Holy Land, the pinnacle of power in this world—Pangu City.

Therefore, Gion ignored the CP organization's intelligence and went directly to the outskirts of Pango Castle, where he activated his Observation Haki and waited.

Like a spider that has laid out its web, waiting for its prey to come to it.

Once the prey gets caught in the net, it's not so easy for it to escape.

Bucky only reached her chest.

The other person was dressed in revealing clothing.

Fair and tender flesh is always particularly striking.

Along with the slippery aroma, it seemed to numb his brain, even slowing down his thinking.

You've misunderstood, ma'am.

Bucky forced a smile, his mind seemingly rebelling, eager to do as the other party suggested.

"The night is so boring."

"So all I want to do is invite you to a fireworks show."

He reached out his palm, as if to caress his ambiguous lover, and touched her face.

"Just a fireworks show, is it?"

Gion didn't seem to object to the other's actions; in fact, she wrapped her arms around him, as if to take the pirate into her embrace.

Like a pair of intimate lovers, they couldn't wait to touch each other.

It also seems like they are constantly testing each other's bottom line.

Bucky, looking drunk, gazed up at the tall woman.

Her palm landed on the other person's smooth skin, and the other person's hand touched her lower back.

He opened his mouth and mouthed a shape.

boom--

His body suddenly exploded, and the Bucky bomb hidden in his chest detonated along with it.

Flames shot into the sky in an instant!

"Unfortunately, I don't like drinking."

Bucky's body fragments scattered in the shock of the explosion, his mouth still half-open, not forgetting to quip.

What a dangerous woman.

The intoxicating aroma even made me feel like I had to submit.

"Looks like we're all the same kind of devil," he chuckled, recalling the masked man's assessment.

What is it if not the devil who distorts thoughts and spirit?

"What exactly do you want?!"

Gion's charming smile turned cold. For someone as skilled in Observation Haki and Armament Haki as him, an explosion at this distance was not enough to injure her.

The golden sword had already been drawn at some point.

Black Armament Haki spread upwards.

The sharp blade flashed, completely covering the scattered fragments of Bucky.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 55 He has a very good overall perspective

Strictly speaking...

Bucky can be even more reckless.

The flash of Gion's sword, aside from creating a greater commotion along with the explosion and cutting his already shattered body parts into even smaller pieces, had no other effect.

To the sword masters of this world, he is a bug.

A bug that leaves people helpless.

Don't you want to see it?

His lips were put back together, and the corners of his mouth turned up, shaped like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

"Don't you want to see a fireworks show that could blow half the holy land into the sky?"

"Don't you want to see how the Five Elders, who hold the pinnacle of power in Pangu City, will react? Don't you want to see how the person on the Void Throne will react?"

Bucky's hand touched his head and then reattached itself to his neck.

The eyes were also important; he had just witnessed incredible swordsmanship.

"explode…?"

Gion's tone was somewhat surprised.

Was everything the other side did just for an explosion and the Five Elders' reaction afterward?

It feels a bit absurd.

Gion had many speculations about Baki's motives.

Like Fisher-Teg, a hero whose goal was to liberate slaves, I've heard that there's a similar figure in the navy.

If that were the case, the other party wouldn't have needed to engage in so many provocative actions, or even get so close to Pangu City.

Or perhaps, like most pirates on the high seas, their goal is fame and fortune.

But this also cannot explain Pakistan's crazy dancing on the face of the World Government.

She remains unpredictable.

They also remained noncommittal about Pakistan's alarmist claims.

She couldn't imagine what kind of explosives could blow half of the holy site into the sky without them noticing.

The only possible source of dynamic rock is also under strict control.

So, was the explosion by the other party really just the goal, or was it a means to achieve a certain objective?

"What's the point besides making the world more panicked?"

She sheathed her sword.

I've tried it myself, and even with the blade covered in jet-black Armament Haki, the slashing effect is still not as good as when Buggy splits apart to withstand the explosion.

Moreover, the opponent's mind seemed to be inherently twisted, which even his Devil Fruit ability couldn't change.

It's like facing a mentally ill patient; your abilities can only worsen or alleviate their condition, but you can't make them fall ill again.
