The woman quickly realized something was wrong. It wasn't that the man's penis was getting bigger; it was that Bucky the Joker was growing taller and stronger all over. The bed, which was less than 2.5 meters long, could no longer contain him. This meant that another Joker personality had appeared once again.
"You..." Alvida covered her mouth in surprise, witnessing Bucky the Clown get out of bed and grow from less than two meters tall to more than four meters tall. His whole demeanor changed, and the clown makeup on his face made him look even more crazy.
"Lord Buggy, you're back again," Alvida said, her eyes sparkling with lustful hearts, a sight that nearly melted the man's heart. She really wanted to test Buggy's skills in bed in this state.
Bucky, in this state, realized a small embarrassment: his old clothes were too small to fit him, and he couldn't very well go out naked. "Ahem, Alvida, go out for a bit and get me some suitable clothes. Also, wake up the core members of the group; we need to discuss the battle plan tonight."
Alvida agreed, quickly picked up her clothes from the floor, dressed, and then pushed open the door, willingly serving the domineering version of Bucky the Joker.
Soon, lights began to illuminate the Clown Pirates' hideout. Upon learning of the return of the mighty Buggy, the loyal crew members were wide awake, eager to witness their lord's arrival.
Chapter 128 Recruiting Targets
"Buggy's other personality has emerged, and we newcomers have arrived just in time."
"To defeat Admiral Akainu head-on—that's a feat we haven't seen on the high seas for years. Lord Buggy's strength is terrifying."
"If I could just get a job as a pawn during Ghost Month, I'd die happy."
The Clown Pirates below have recruited a new group of followers. They all admire Buggy's powerful combat skills and have voluntarily joined the crew, hoping that this strongman can lead them all further.
A man over four meters tall, with an extremely heavy clown makeup on his face, wearing a simple jacket with his chest open to reveal his muscular physique, was accompanied by a hot woman. This man was none other than the legendary, powerful Buggy.
That twisted and insane aura made the smaller pirates who were relatively close tremble. Even without making a move, the mere presence of the powerful figure was enough to intimidate a group of petty scoundrels.
Bucky the Clown, high above, took the main seat, while Alvida sat gracefully on the man's lap. Mochi and Kabakki stood respectfully on either side, awaiting the important instructions this man would give that evening.
Buggy scanned his underlings below, the countless heads making him exclaim, "When did the Clown Pirates grow to have so many people?"
Facing the imposing and powerful Lord, Mochi bowed respectfully and said, "These pirates all look up to your illustrious name, Lord. I have set strict entry requirements, otherwise our Clown Pirates would be even stronger."
During their days of recuperation, Mochi and Kabaki, while not using the Clown's name to rob, quietly recruited subordinates in the shadows. Originally, there were only a few people when they escaped from Loguetown, but now the pirate crew has grown to more than 500 people, surpassing the Clown Pirates' peak.
The addition of some grunts to the group didn't make Bucky the Clown happy. If government agents infiltrated the area, the base they had painstakingly established on Flying Flower Island would have to be moved again.
"I'll let it slide this time, but don't act on your own next time."
Hearing Bucky's cold words, Mochi knew he had done something wrong. He broke out in a cold sweat and knelt in front of the captain in fear. "Lord Bucky, there won't be a next time. Please spare my life." His tamed lion, Liki, also leaned against his master. The two of them trembled in front of the clown.
"After all, you've been with me for a long time. This little mistake isn't enough to kill you. Mochi, get up." As soon as Bucky finished speaking, he felt the woman in his arms getting restless. Alvida used her fair and delicate hands to rub the captain's chest. In the face of such a powerful man, she acted like a little woman.
Seeing that Mochi still wouldn't get up, Kabaki quickly went over to help him. The animal trainer said, "My legs were a little numb and I couldn't stand up."
Now, let's get to today's topic. Bucky the Clown woke everyone up so late to announce something important: the East Blue is no longer a place for him, and it's time to set sail for the Grand Line and head towards the New World.
The newly joined pirates cheered. They had joined at the perfect time. The East Blue was a poor, remote place with little to no profit to be made. The Grand Line was a much more promising destination.
Every pirate who sets sail yearns for adventure on the Grand Line. With such a powerful captain, the Clown Pirates are sure to carve out their own niche in the most dangerous seas.
"I'm so excited! I've heard the women on the Grand Line are all very beautiful. I'll capture one and have some fun with her."
"What a loser! There are countless treasures to search for on the Grand Line. If you have money in your pocket, you won't be able to get any women."
"I'm interested in those hairy creatures; I'll definitely buy a slave someday."
These heinous pirates began to dream about their future. They were no good at construction, but they were experts at murder, arson, and womanizing. This kind of violence that humans are born with can only be eliminated by Devil Fruit powers. As long as there is desire, there will be conflict.
Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era. No matter how heroic he was, or how many good deeds he did in his lifetime, his posthumous influence led to many capable people in the four seas becoming pirates, indirectly causing many families to be destroyed and countless villages to be slaughtered. All these blood debts must be attributed to Roger.
Then Buggy the Clown pulled a bounty poster out of his clothes and showed it to everyone. "This is our recruitment target before we set sail. I need this man to become a member of the Clown Pirates. Is there anyone willing to come with us?"
The wanted poster was wrinkled and yellowed, clearly quite old, but most people recognized the face on it. These henchmen hadn't expected that Lord Bucky would go all out right from the start.
"Tyrant Bear, it's actually Tyrant Bear!"
"He's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Would this lackey of the World Government join our pirate crew?"
Bartholomew Kuma is an outlier among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The other six pirates who were granted amnesty generally outwardly comply with the orders of the Navy and the World Government, and basically do not work for the Celestial Dragons.
It is said that Kuma destroyed half a country, which is the origin of his tyrant title. He drifts at sea alone but actively works for the Navy, fighting pirates and protecting ships. He does almost everything and is sometimes ordered to protect the Celestial Dragons. He is a loyal lackey who cannot be more loyal than the best.
For Lord Buggy to try and recruit someone like that is simply wishful thinking for others. It would be much easier to persuade other Shichibukai to join the Clown Pirates.
The murmurs and questions below did not affect Bucky the Clown's mood. He said to the crowd, "I have already figured out Bartholomew Kuma's weakness. As long as I go there and capture her, this pathetic man will listen to us. His paw-like abilities are very suitable for large-scale operations. It is a waste of talent for such a person to be in the Navy."
Since Lord Buggy claims to have grasped the weaknesses of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the others have nothing more to say and should just follow their captain.
Even if he doesn't want to join the Clown Pirates after encountering Bartholomew Kuma, Buggy would probably teach him a lesson with his fists. Recruiting him through violence is not a bad idea.
In an unassuming church in the Kingdom of Sorbe in the South Sea, a pink-haired little girl stares boredly at the ceiling. Beside her are only medical staff in white coats, carefully examining her body.
"I haven't seen my dad in so long, I really miss him. The appointed time is almost here, I'm really looking forward to going on an adventure at sea with him!"
The girl was dreaming about her future life, unaware that a crisis was quietly approaching.
Chapter 129 Hot Topics in the Navy
As the strongest violent organization on the high seas, the Navy had experienced a period of low morale due to the impact of the Iron Blood War. However, this momentum was quickly reversed. Even though the unknown Marine Admiral died in the Marineford War, it could not stop the fervent emotions within the Navy at this moment.
It was all caused by the twelve admirals of the Navy. The twelve top combatants could almost crush everything. The future acting Fleet Admiral Artoria and the future White Horse Admiral Smoker have become the most popular people in Marineford.
Most of the navy was talking about these two men; they couldn't help but chat about it even while on duty.
"When will Lady Artoria be able to take over? The meager salary the Navy pays us right now isn't even enough to cover household expenses. My wife has to work as a dishwasher at a restaurant just to make ends meet."
"Don't mention that. I met a girl I was on a blind date with the other day, and she asked me what the pay was like in the navy. I didn't dare tell her the truth: few days off, lots of work, and not much money."
The two veterans on duty couldn't help but complain when they saw that there were no outsiders around. Ever since they saw the navy's treatment on the screen five years later, they couldn't be more envious. That kind of generous life was really too enviable.
"What nonsense are you two spouting? Focus on your duty! It's just a little money. Do you think your sense of justice can be bought with money?"
"Cannot be an officer" x2!
These two chatty guys were unlucky; they happened to run into their direct supervisor who was checking up on them. The supervisor overheard their complaints and naturally gave them a lecture.
The officer only gave a verbal reprimand, after all, they were his own men, and too much punishment would only alienate them from the navy.
The naval captain hadn't gone far when he couldn't help but complain, "Now even allowances are being delayed. Artoria, you'd better take over quickly, the navy is about to go bankrupt."
Most naval officers never reach the rank of captain (or lieutenant colonel) in their lifetime. The next step is to enter the general rank. For weak individuals without strength or connections, this rank is already the pinnacle.
The most basic rule is that the higher the rank, the better the treatment. However, in recent years, due to the rapid devaluation of Beli, money has become less and less valuable. Even the newly released bounties for pirates are full of inflated figures. The difference in pirate strength between a bounty of 100 million a hundred years ago and a bounty of 100 million today is quite obvious.
The naval officer's complaint was also heard by another colleague, a female naval officer named Tina, who was also a captain at headquarters. She teased the man smoking a cigar next to her, saying, "Tina, I really don't understand how you can be a naval admiral. Are you kidding me?"
Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his mouth, developed PTSD upon hearing the words "Admiral." These past few days, Admiral Akainu had kept him alone whenever he had free time, trying to get Smoker to take sides on his views on justice—whether to listen to Admiral Aokiji or serve Sakazuki's side—leaving him no middle ground.
He didn't know why he would become a Marine Admiral in the future. Smoker was aware of his own strength. The Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit had little offensive power and could only be used to trap enemies.
Regarding the training of the three types of Haki, he was fortunate enough to awaken Conqueror's Haki in Loguetown. The Navy has no corresponding courses on how to utilize this power. The only person in the Navy who might be able to do so is Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but he is a very busy man. The World Government has issued an operational mission, and his hometown is currently recruiting manpower for the first half of the Grand Line.
Since Smoker's use of Armament Haki and Observation Haki was not yet proficient, Zephyr gave him extra lessons, allowing him to quickly adapt to the power of Haki and develop sufficient combat strength as soon as possible.
"Tina's not keeping you company anymore. Enjoy your special training course with Teacher Zefa," the beautiful colonel patted her friend's shoulder. She was no longer willing to accompany Teacher Zefa; such grueling training was truly unsuitable for girls.
As Smoker watched Tina run away, he was left to greet Professor Zephyr alone, cursing the woman for being disloyal and hoping that this devilish teacher would show mercy today.
"Cheer up! You're going to be a Marine Admiral someday!" Zeff looked at his student with a hint of disappointment. In his eyes, Smoker wasn't a genius; he didn't yet possess the strength of a Vice Admiral. He would have to work harder to catch up with the monster.
Zephyr, who was originally disillusioned with the Navy, saw the changes in the Navy five years later on the light screen. Although one of the twelve Navy Admirals was a pirate, which touched a nerve with the old man, the results in fighting the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors' pirate crews were quite remarkable.
During his years as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku mainly relied on appeasement to unite the navy, rarely taking anything too seriously and faithfully following the World Government's orders. Zephyr disliked this style, and perhaps Artoria's rise to power could truly bring about some qualitative changes.
Another popular figure in the Navy, Artoria, the acting admiral who is being talked about by the Navy, is currently enjoying her meal in the Navy mess hall. She is really growing to like this place more and more; everyone here is talented and speaks very nicely.
In order to cultivate a good relationship with the acting marshal in advance, some naval officers with ulterior motives approached her and took meticulous care of Artoria, treating her like royalty. Delicacies from all over the world were delivered to the Knight King's table through these people.
She accepts everything without hesitation, prioritizing equality. She shares many of her unwanted valuable items with other female marines, making Artoria a treasure in the female marine dormitory.
Best friend Gion and the girl sat together, discussing recent events: "That Hawkeye guy is really going too far. The Navy mobilized the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he actually negotiated with Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
The Five Elders summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of Kaido. Hawkeye, who was closest to the Marine Headquarters, was the first to be notified. However, the great swordsman suggested that he spar with Artoria afterward.
"I agree to this," Artoria said. She knew that Gion was there to act as a lobbyist for the Fleet Admiral, and that a one-on-one duel with a swordsman was fair, so she gave her best friend face.
Two female naval officers were having a meal together, chatting and laughing, when a white-haired old man with a worried expression walked past them. This man was none other than Garp, the naval hero who was famous in another way.
Gion whispered in Artoria's ear, "I heard it's about his new disciple. Wasn't Coby labeled a traitor to the Navy by the light screen? They're under investigation by the Inspectorate because of this, and I heard it's causing quite a stir."
The once cheerful naval hero, due to his disciple Coby's involvement and his grandson Luffy's dazzling performance, is facing increasing criticism within the navy. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is finding it difficult to contain the doubts surrounding him. Lately, the old man has become somewhat depressed and lacks interest in anything.
Chapter 130 What Did He Do Wrong?
The vast majority of military personnel in the navy tacitly accepted that what was said on the screen was true. The previously unpopular inspection team recently had a new target, namely a newly accepted apprentice of the naval hero.
Like Garp, Coby and Helmeppo were born in the East Blue. By chance, they boarded the ship of the naval hero and started as the lowest-ranking servicemen.
Koby's overly diligent performance, coupled with his determination to shield his friend from cannon fire, moved the naval hero. The two boys were eventually transferred to the admiral's side, and on their way to headquarters, he formally accepted them as his apprentices.
However, things didn't go as planned. Soon, Coby was marked as a naval traitor on the screen. This insignificant little character entered the mainstream spotlight. In addition, since his background was not very clean, a little investigation revealed more things.
Coby once worked as an apprentice crew member on Alvida's ship. After her identity was verified, she turned out to be Harley Quinn. During this time, she also saved Luffy and maintained a good relationship with the Straw Hat crew.
The connection between Buggy the Clown, Alvida, and Monkey D. Luffy makes it hard for the Navy Inspectorate not to have too many ideas. Could it be that Coby is a spy who has infiltrated the Navy?!
With this suspicion in mind, Coby was stripped of his orderly duties and placed in solitary confinement. During this time, only his close friend Helmeppo visited him. Meanwhile, his newly recognized mentor, Garp, was actively lobbying within the Navy to clear his protégé of any espionage suspicions.
"Coby, I'm here again, bringing you food," Helmeppo said, arriving with a lunchbox to visit his friend under the watchful eyes of the other Marines.
Logically speaking, Coby is just a minor character. With so much manpower and resources invested in him, it should be impossible to recoup the costs. What kind of damage could a minor do to the Navy?
Unfortunately, he made contact with Buggy the Clown. The Navy's only remaining lead on the Clown Pirates is Coby, so they have no choice but to put the Navy hero's good apprentice in this solitary prison.
When Coby, with his pink hair, saw his friend come to visit him, he immediately smiled and said, "Helmeppo, you're finally here. Do you have any good news?"
Bellmare had a worried look on his face. He just shook his head helplessly and opened the food box in front of Coby. The box contained leftovers from the Navy mess hall. The taste wasn't great, but at least it would fill your stomach and not make you sick.
