One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 64: Just a Joke
The curly-haired islander’s craftsmanship is average.

The polished wooden statue can only be seen as a person, but it is a bit difficult to identify who is who.

But in the slightly narrow room, there are many such wooden statues, including a tall wooden statue with a crescent-shaped beard, and a human-shaped wooden sculpture with particularly long hands...

Their positions were specially adjusted so that they all faced the only guest table.

Plus the dim oil lamp in the room.

When you see it suddenly, it does feel a bit weird.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

As if to enhance the atmosphere, Bucky laughed strangely a few times.

His head was held in Hawkins' hands.

Pirates are pretty interesting.

For example, if you put a knife in someone's hand and put your neck close to him, the pirate will still chop it off neatly.

"how do you want to do it?"

Hawkins held the knife without a speck of blood on it and regained his composure.

He is not a bounty hunter. If he takes this head to the navy, they will just take his head as well and claim that they have killed two pirates in one fell swoop.

"Why...why are you so serious?"

The head in his hand had a mocking smile on his face.

Bucky didn't seem annoyed by his behavior. Instead, he continued speaking in a very gentle tone.

"We're just playing a... a fun game."

"You should know why this boring world is boring?"

Hawkins said expressionlessly, "Why?"

“Because… hey hahahaha…” Buggy couldn’t help but grin for a while, “Of course it’s because of you guys, or the pirates…”

“It’s really too conservative!”

keep?

The lawless pirates are conservative?

Hawkins frowned, feeling that it was unreasonable, but the expression of the crazy man in front of him told him that the other party really thought so.

"Well, let's put it this way."

Bucky pulled back his smile a little.

"What do you think the great secret treasure Roger left behind might contain? You all thought about it when you went out to sea, right?"

Hawkins' face became serious, and he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was once a member of the Pirate King's ship...

"everything."

He paused for a moment and said, "Treasure, power, strength, everything is there."

Regardless of whether the great secret treasure is the most fundamental motive, every pirate will think about this issue more or less when going out to sea.

"Yeah, everything, good answer."

Bucky's body reached out and took back his head.

"Treasure, power, and strength... like devil fruits."

"Have you ever thought that there is a place in this world that also has everything?"

He pointed in the direction of the sky.

"There is a place in the world that has everything you desire. Why, why do you insist on pursuing an unrealistic goal?"

"Because you're scared?"

"But you claim to have the courage to face the raging sea. Why don't you have the courage to face the Celestial Dragons?"

"Obviously, they have everything you pirates desire!"

Bucky put a mocking smile on his head as he pressed it back onto his neck.

Hawkins's face froze.

Of course he knew where Bucky was referring to.

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Of course, there is everything people yearn for.

But how is it possible?
That place is occupied by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. How can it be compared with the ownerless treasure left by the Pirate King? ! Hawkins wanted to refute, but instinctively took out the card to do some divination first.

The treasures owned by the Celestial Dragons and the Pirate King...

Which is harder?

One is a huge system that can be seen in reality, like a Ganoderma lucidum that has been secretly growing for 800 years. Even if you can't own all of it, just scrape off a little and you can become rich in the blink of an eye.

One is a legend circulating on the sea, whose existence was confirmed by two men in person, but countless people have tried to find them over the past decade, but none of them have been seen.

Even the Four Emperors who dominated the New World no longer had the desire to pursue.

Hawkins suddenly didn't want to reveal the cards in his hand anymore. He didn't want to know the result.

The smile on Bucky's face faded invisibly.

How could the chaos he expected to see be just the tearing apart of the navy? Wouldn't it be boring without the participation of pirates?
"so…"

He tapped the table with his fingers, making a thudding sound.

"Of course we still have to hunt for the Pirate King's treasure, ah ha ha ha."

"Do you think I'm advising you to target the Celestial Dragons, or do you really think I can blow up half of the Holy Land?"

“No way, hahahaha!”

"How is this possible!"

Bucky laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back and kept slapping his thigh.

Like a clown who had successfully pulled off his own prank.

Laughing wantonly and fearfully.

Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.

Hawkins's face suddenly darkened.

Being laughed at, he felt even more like a clown.

The frequent hints from fate made him too credulous in believing the clown's words, especially the guess he made.

how can that be possible?
Just a clown.

How could a clown possibly accomplish something that the Four Emperors couldn't do?
You're just scaring yourself.

Hawkins was more willing to accept the conclusion that it was all a joke than his own guess.

Sneaking into the New World from Marijoa is indeed a better way to avoid pursuit by the Navy and the World Government.

I just completely overlooked this point.

He felt much relieved.

“Hahahaha, don’t worry…hahaha.” Bucky was still bent over, looking like he couldn’t stop laughing.

Putting his arm around Hawkins' shoulder, he said, "Believe me, if I have the ability to blow up the holy land, then I can turn all of you into my clown helpers, hahaha."

"Isn't this a good joke?"

"Hahahaha, maybe when you return to the pirate ship you will really see a dozen small sampans circling your ship!"

Hawkins's face was really dark at this moment.

I was actually teased by a clown to this extent...

If the divination had not told him that he had no way to kill this clown, he would have wanted to fight to the death with him.

I wasn't even in the mood for divination right now.

He just stood up solemnly.

Turn around and leave.

Seeing this, the curly-haired islander quickly shouted, "Farewell, Pirate Lord!"

Hawkins regarded the divination sheet, which symbolized obedience, as a stain on his fortune-telling career, and left the room full of statues without looking back.

Not far from the port.

His deputy, the curly-haired crewman, looked almost panic-stricken as he hurried over to Hawkins.

"Oh no, Captain!"

"Navy warships and World Government ships have appeared in all directions in the open sea. They have surrounded the entire island!"

Hawkins' pupils shrank and his face froze again.
