One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

We arrived at the open bow deck.

The black iron railings resembled a dark forest.

Beneath every few intersecting black guns, a marine was locked in place.

One of her subordinates.

To prevent them from engaging in self-harm due to the amplified emotions caused by the clown virus, Hina had no choice but to imprison them.

The freckled boy was one of them.

When Hina found him, the boy was already figuring out how to jump into the sea so he could see his dead family.

“You shouldn’t concern yourself with us, Miss Hina.”

The boy, who had just become part of this dark forest, spoke again.

They were gripped by an uncontrollable fear, but Miss Hina was not.

Spending so much effort managing them actually restricts Ms. Hina.

Hina did not reply.

He simply recalled quietly, wondering if he had missed any soldiers.

Several more soldiers cried out about dying in front of them.

Hina wasn't sure which way the scales in her heart would tip.

As a soldier, she wasn't intolerant of death.

But she could not accept such a despairing death.

Every soldier's cry and despair added a stain of blood to her righteous cause.

Hina crouched down and hugged her knees.

She was a little scared.

I'm afraid I'll turn into a madman I don't even recognize.

But she couldn't refute it.

The fundamental reason why the Navy is so powerless against this clown is still...

The Navy's sense of justice is nothing short of clown-like!

Riddled with holes.

Another sea breeze carrying a thin mist swept by.

The extremely small fragments scattered on the ground were pieced together little by little.

It's pieced together to resemble an eye.

I watched from afar as the pink-haired woman grew increasingly silent.

He seemed quite satisfied with his gaze.

It's like a winemaker looking at a new bottle of wine that he has carefully crafted.

She must be able to bring you a unique flavor.

Bucky's other focus was also on the battle with Doberman.

Looking outward from the other person's mental world.

Doberman and Vergo are both masters of physical combat.

His body was covered in jet-black Armament Haki.

Doberman's swordsmanship was straightforward and without any fancy moves, yet it was all aimed at killing his opponent to the greatest extent possible.

The long knife is used for slashing, chopping, or stabbing.

Vergo's fighting style is close to that of blunt weapons, mainly consisting of smashing and parrying.

They also creatively inflated the bamboo like a balloon, and the bamboo, enveloped in Armament Haki, seemed to have exceptionally good elasticity.

When you're feeling deflated, it's like having a bomb ignited close to your body.

It added a touch of fiery red to the chaotic night.

It's very interesting, with different fighting techniques compared to Gotham.

Bucky's consciousness watched with great interest, absorbing everything they showed like a sponge.

He never hesitated to learn in order to have more fun.

Another thing the two have in common is that they are both very skilled in Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

This is precisely what Bucky is not good at.

Chapter 73 The Last Straw

Navy G1 Branch.

As the branch closest to Red Harbor and the target, it naturally became the command center for this joint operation.

It's actually just a cold, round table with twelve screens displayed in front of it.

Eleven of them broadcast what the video Den Den Mushi (snail teleportation devices) on the warship were seeing.

There was also a reflection of an old man's face.

It was Jaygolucia Satan, one of the Five Elders.

"Why weren't we informed of this news beforehand?!"

Sengoku, whose body was still wrapped in bandages, spoke with his eyes almost bulging with anger.

His eyes were fixed on Saint Satan.

Although he wasn't in command of this operation, he was still furious watching so many naval soldiers kill each other.

In the view of the Warring States period, there were two fatal reasons for this outcome.

First, they lacked sufficient understanding of Bucky's abilities, only knowing that he could bewitch people after contact. They never expected that he would be so crazy as to blow himself into countless pieces while simultaneously using his bewitchment abilities on tens of thousands of marines.

The CP agents clearly knew more than they did.

The second point, and the most fatal one, is the news agency's reporting!

The fact that the Celestial Dragons were selecting prey from among the Navy's best soldiers directly undermined the morale of the soldiers on the front lines.

Even without the clown's instigation, the Navy itself experienced considerable turmoil.

This is the key reason why the Joker was able to achieve his goal so easily.

That's what angered people during the Warring States period.

Even at this point, Saint Satan remained silent about what was happening in the Holy Land.

He didn't even pay much attention to the angry gaze of the Warring States period.

"This is none of your business, Sengoku."

Satan Saint said indifferently.

"Then at least let Kizaru go! Or I can go myself!"

"We can't let them continue like this."

Despite the throbbing pain from his wounds, Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

He was certain that something extraordinary had happened in the Holy Land while he was unconscious, otherwise Buggy wouldn't have known information that even in the Navy, only admirals could access.

They also delivered this information to the frontline navy at just the right time.

Moreover, Satan Saint seems to harbor resentment towards the navy.

They are completely indifferent to such deaths and injuries.

Do you still want them to come back?

Satan raised his eyes. "The World Government has spared no expense to have that bird's news agency banned worldwide, and the CP organization has done its best to recall all the newspapers it sold, in order to minimize the impact of this incident."

"Sengoku, are you sure you want to bring back these navies who are full of suspicion and dissatisfaction with us at this time?"

"Or do you have the ability to make these soldiers forget what they saw?"

Is it impossible to change what has already happened?

You're underestimating the power of the World Government, Joker.

Death and time will bury the past.

If the world government is willing to pay a sufficient price, even Morgans, who has long been deeply involved in the fields of news and intelligence, will find it difficult to resist.

Saint Satan watched indifferently as everything unfolded in that sea area.

He recalled the words the clown had said to him.

And

If the pirates are missing a piece of their power, then the navy should also be missing a piece to maintain balance.

This is what is most important to world governments.

"call"

Zhan Guo let out a long breath, feeling a chill run through his body.

He certainly understood what Satan meant.

Kizaru, or perhaps he himself, went and dealt with the Joker, bringing back the army.

and then?

Should we allow these soldiers, who have already sown the seeds of discontent and doubt, to spread throughout the army?

That would have an irreparable impact on the entire navy.

It will probably only die a slow death by its own hand.
