Pirate: I, Buggy, am the Emperor, the Emperor of the Clown King!

Chapter 293 (Free)

A huge hole has appeared in the sky above God's Island.

Sunlight poured down from the hole, bathing Ghost Mask Beast Buggy.

The nightmarish darkness, edged with gold, appears glamorous and unreal at the boundary between light and shadow.

The power of the Ghost Masked Beast is terrifying!

Bucky loosely clenched his fist with one hand, his five fingers slowly tightening in the air.

"What a wonderful feeling."

There was no excitement or ecstasy in that voice, only a sense of relief after a long period of suppression.

It's like a person taking off all their restrictive and burdensome clothes, and every inch of their skin and nerves is re-experiencing the world.

Bucky could have adopted this stance much earlier.

When he completed the final step inside the mechanical evil dragon Wapol, he had already touched upon this realm.

The power of the Clown King, the Hand of Deep Resentment formed from billions of souls, and the power of the Vampire Fruit within S-Clown's body—the moment these three merged, the Ghost Mask Beast was already there waiting for him.

He just held back.

Just as good wine needs to be let breathe to fully appreciate its flavor, a great show needs to be tempered to become truly spectacular.

He waited for everyone to arrive, for them to muster all their courage and strength—and then, at this moment, he hurled true despair in their faces, telling them that resistance was pointless, and that their supposed immortality was utterly useless.

This sense of ease that surges from the depths of the soul is more intoxicating than any pleasure.

The fiercest, most evil, and strongest power.

That goes beyond the scope that Conqueror's Haki can describe.

Bucky is absolutely ecstatic right now!

Now, the difference in strength has completely transcended dimensions. In the Observation Haki perception of the others, they can only sense the power released by Buggy, but cannot sense the existence of Buggy himself.

It was a pure, silent sense of oppression that crushed everything on an existential level.

It was as if the sky had suddenly gained weight, as if the air had suddenly turned into mercury, as if the rules of the entire world were being rewritten at this moment, and there was only one writer.

"Feeling so relaxed~ This is my true power, feels good, right?" Bucky stretched his shoulders, and his two slender black bone arms stretched out with his movements, his claws spread wide, grabbing at the air and leaving five faint black marks.

To be honest, he feels very strange now because he has two extra hands.

Okay, not only do they have two hands, they also have two wings.

Buggy's clothes haven't changed much. Compared to Piedmon's clothes, Ghost Mask Beast's only major improvement is its defense.

The real changes have been in the weapons.

The original four ace throwing knives have been upgraded.

The two trump cards have been transformed into a magic sword [medley]. Unlike the original version, which required adding clown magic to the trump cards, the blades themselves are now an extension and manifestation of magic.

The other two ace throwing knives were replaced with extended pistols [chicken wings].

This weapon change represents the biggest power boost for Ghost Mask Beast compared to Piedmon.

[Dual Swords Combo] can unleash a superb sword technique called [Court Waltz].

Dual pistols [chicken wings] can fire a deadly bullet called "Quarter Kill".

One is the ultimate upgrade of the Ace Throwing Knife, and the other is a brand-new ability to tear enemies apart from the inside.

"Then————"

Bucky slowly removed the white noble mask from his face. Underneath the mask was his face, with the same features as before, except that the big red nose was missing.

During the transformation, Bucky noticed that his large red nose was getting in the way of the mask.

The mask of Ghost Mask Beast needs to cover the entire face, while the mask of Piedmon only covers half of the face, which is different, and the protruding nose is a bit of a hindrance.

So he casually edited his appearance.

This was something he could have done when he was still Clown King, but there was no need or hesitancy to do it before.

He no longer needs to cater to anyone's aesthetic preferences.

Whether it's a bright red nose or a high, straight nose, it doesn't matter.

What matters is that the world should be what he likes.

He has now become someone who distorts other people's aesthetics based on his own preferences.

This minor change in appearance was simply due to my own lifestyle needs.

"You all look very nervous." Bucky held the mask in his hand and fanned himself with it like a fan.

No one answered.

Of the more than twenty people present, not one dared to move.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Ghost Mask Beast form is completely different from before.

If Buggy in his Piedmon form is like a giant dragon coiled in the abyss, then he is now like the abyss itself.

Under the oppressive force of his terrifying aura and the most ferocious, evil, and powerful energy, the entire Island of God was so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeat.

Then, Green Bull knelt down.

With a thud.

Admiral Green Bull, the extreme righteous man who believed in "the strong dominating the weak," the man who became an admiral through the World Military Draft after the Marineford War, just like that, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

Although this behavior may seem overly humble, it does reflect the consistency between words and actions.

If one believes in the dominance of the strong over the weak, then when one is the weak, one should naturally submit to the dominance of the strong.

"I—I—"

Green Bull's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

During the previous brawl, Green Bull had been merely going through the motions.

He didn't dare to really confront Bucky. Every time he charged in, it was all bark and no bite; he would fire a few tree guns and then retreat.

Green Bull never really came to fight this war.

The reason he charged up with the main force earlier was because Bucky's actions of slaughtering the entire world were too outrageous, so outrageous that even he found it unacceptable.

After all, billions of people died—although he was a scumbag and believed in the law of the jungle, he at least had a basic moral compass.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to join the navy.

With his power, he could easily become a local tyrant by simply finding a secluded corner on the high seas.

But now, when facing Ghost Mask Beast Buggy, his instincts tell him: he will die.

It's not the kind of death where you "fight to the death and die a glorious death".

It is the death of being crushed, trampled, or casually crushed like an ant.

No, this is unacceptable.

Fear overcame pride, and so Green Bull knelt down.

from.

heart.

"Interesting." Bucky noticed Green Bull's reaction. "For a Marine Admiral, you're really funny."

"Alright, if you just get out of here, I'll spare your life."

"how?"

Bucky tilted his head, thinking of an interesting street performance.

This approach is clearly a complete insult to a strong person.

But so what?

Insulting you is none of your business.

Green Bull's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively looked around at the people around him.

Im, Shamrock, Kaido, Shanks, Mihawk, Jabba — but everyone's attention was focused on Buggy, and no one had the energy to pay attention to him.

Bucky's presence was so overwhelming that everyone present was completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Green Bull swallowed hard.

Then he lay down on the ground and rolled to the side.

It rolled around a few times, and then rolled around a few more times.

It rolled all the way to the edge of the battlefield, towards the direction of the sea of ​​clouds, and then fell down.

That's right, there are no more island clouds around this island of gods. All the island clouds were shattered in the previous battle. Only the Dark Tornado Mountain itself is still maintained because of Buggy's power.

So if you leave the side of the island, you will fall straight down.

Generally speaking, falling from 10,000 meters is quite deadly, but thankfully, even if Green Bull is weak, he is still a strong goalkeeper at the Admiral level.

He wouldn't die from falling from such a height.

After all, with air resistance, the speed of free fall has a limit, which poses little threat to strong individuals.

Bucky did some really awful things in this regard, but he always kept his word.

This is a consensus across the entire ocean.

He fulfilled all his promises, including the promise to provide his subordinates with a better life, and he did not abandon them even though he no longer needed them.

From the very beginning, any of Buggy's subordinates who followed him from the East Blue who wanted to give it their all would be given a chance by Buggy. As for whether they could hold on, that depended on their own abilities.

Bucky watched the Green Bull disappear into the distant sea of ​​clouds and laughed out loud.

"That's good, now that's what it means to be pragmatic."

He turned his gaze back to the remaining people, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"If any of you get out of here like him, I'll spare your lives."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't challenge my rule in the future, I have no interest in hunting down a bunch of weaklings like you."

Bucky always keeps his word. As long as this group of people leaves, finds a quiet corner to live out their days, and Bucky really won't bother them.

Bucky said it so casually, but it sounded very unpleasant to everyone else.

On this vast ocean, there are very few creatures as adaptable and resilient as the Green Bull.

Most strong people are quite proud and would rather die standing than live on their knees.

They knew they had more backbone than the Green Bull, but backbone meant nothing in the face of absolute power disparity.

In other words, if they continue to resist, they will definitely die.
