One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

"After all, they hid so far away."

Hina's expression softened again, and she silently pulled down the sunglasses hanging on her forehead.

She didn't want the clown to see her always gloomy eyes.

However, the other person's gaze always had a strong penetrating quality, and one's heart was completely exposed to them.

"Yes, it's probably led by a lieutenant general."

"How about we take a gamble and see if the warships will open fire on you directly?"

"That's impossible!" Hina instinctively refused.

As fellow naval colleagues, they had never fired on their own men before.

But after declining, I suddenly felt a lack of confidence.

Both of the previous lieutenant generals were able to engage in direct combat on the front lines.

But that was because of the Joker.

The other party may not be as honest as he claims, and may have misled the people on that warship.

Hina thought to herself that her years of naval service had instilled in her a lingering trust in the unit.

Even after seeing the news agency's report, her first reaction was to report it to higher-ups and verify its authenticity.

Even though the unexpected silence from higher-ups made her have some doubts.

"It seems you've already chosen the opposing side."

Bucky chuckled, his figure gradually disappearing into the shadows of the deck and the ship's side.

The warship had already emerged from the white fog.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, sporting a mohawk, stood at the bow of the ship, a long sword resting in his hand.

"That ship in front looks like Miss Hina's warship."

The officer next to me was wearing binoculars. The white fog reduced visibility drastically, and even though we were already very close, we still had to rely on binoculars to barely make out anything.

"How is that possible!"

"Miss Hina! Miss Hina used her power to kill all the soldiers!"

The officer was filled with horror. The white fog had just dissipated, allowing him to clearly see that on the bow deck of the warship, the dark iron railings were as dense as a forest.

The white uniforms of the naval soldiers were like nutrients locked deep beneath the tree roots!

The officer saw bloodstains, as well as scattered pieces of flesh and blood.

He wanted to see the soldiers' faces clearly, but the white mist kept him from seeing them.

"And the Den Den Mushi on the warship can no longer be connected."

"Hina." The flying squirrel's expression showed a hint of struggle.

As a fellow student of Zephyr, he had high hopes for Hina, his junior.

“Those who are contaminated cannot reverse the damage; it will only increase their suffering.”

This is the explanation given by higher-ups.

The flying squirrel relayed the information to his soldiers without altering a single detail.

To alleviate their guilt about shelling their colleagues.

"Remember, the mastermind behind all of this is Bucky the Joker, the enemy of this world!"

He raised the tip of his knife, pointing it at the warship.

"Let us bury our comrades in this sea; it is the best tribute we can give them."

Before encountering Hina, Momonga had already met two Vice Admirals, Zeon and Hisoko, who were indeed irrational and kept muttering that the World Government had deceived them.

They even went so far as to say that they were serving a bunch of pigs, a truly outrageous statement.

The flying squirrel only dared to think about it in its heart.

They also encountered two pirate ships belonging to supernovas along the way.

What puzzled the flying squirrel was that instead of trying to break through, the two supernovas plunged headlong into a mysterious shadow.

Perhaps there's some other trick up his sleeve?

But the flying squirrel can't care about that now.

He simply folded his arms and stared indifferently at the warships ahead as they opened fire.

Hina's expectant expression froze completely.

Watching her colleagues fire without hesitation made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

They won't even ask a single question?

That demeanor...it couldn't possibly be the look of someone being bewitched!

Her hands were clenched tightly, her nails piercing her skin and drawing drops of blood.

The shells hit the seawater, creating white waves.

"Look, to them, you're nothing but a monster."

The clown's mocking words echoed in her ears.

Just like me!

Please vote for me!

Is it true that the new book charts will be taken off after a month, and the number of readers will suddenly decrease significantly?

Chapter 76 The Next One Will Be Better

Is this how they feel?

Hina suddenly understood why the freckled boy would believe in the absurd justice that Buggy spoke of without hesitation.

It's better than being betrayed now.

She certainly wouldn't simply think this was the flying squirrel's personal behavior; the two of them had no grudge against each other, and were even from the same school.

That could only be an order from the Navy's high command, or even from one of the Five Elders.

Because of what?

That report?

Hina initially had some doubts, but the strong reaction from higher-ups only confirmed the authenticity of the news.

What kind of justice do they have?

Serving a bunch of swine, helping them harvest the people of a country like weeds, and even sticking their heads out to let the swine have a better time so that they can also cut them.

They also went to great lengths to maintain the other party's status as a descendant of the Creator.

This is ridiculous...

So this is how I've always lived my life.

They even have the nerve to keep shouting about justice.

It's utterly ridiculous to even think about it.

Two tears of laughter slid down Hina's cool and beautiful face.

She tried to tug at the corners of her mouth, but found she couldn't manage a smile.

How ridiculous I am, just like that clown.

Another shell exploded in the sea not far in front of her, and the splashing waves poured over her head.

It's so cool and refreshing.

She raised her head slightly, and glistening tears kept sliding down her face behind her sunglasses.

"I really can't think of any reason why I could compromise on such behavior."

The Warring States Marshal should have known, and the three generals should have known too.

Did they acquiesce, compromise, or did they stand directly on the opposite side of justice?

"The idea that 'explosion equals justice' doesn't seem too bad."

She was instinctively looking for something to rely on.

The tears flowed only briefly before Hina quickly regained her cool and beautiful expression; she was unlike Smoker, who had a terrible temper.

She knows how to compromise.

They also have a great deal of self-confidence, even to the point of arrogance.

So when she realizes that there is no way to compromise, she will turn away decisively.

He pulled out the black barriers he used to imprison his subordinates one by one.

“Miss Hina…”

They got up and stretched their stiff bodies.

The torment in my heart seems to have lessened a lot.

It's like they've found something to do.

One clown knows this all too well.

Every moment of boredom feels like a knife twisting in my heart.

"Black Gun Formation, prepare!"

The aloof and elegant Brigadier General is back.

"Target: Naval warship!"

"Let them see what it means for explosions to be justice!"
