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

Chapter 62 Creating Brilliance

The white handkerchief transformed into a giant white curtain in the air, casting shadows over part of the crowd below.

The members of the Wapol Pirates instinctively wanted to resist, but unfortunately they had no ability to do so, so they could only stand there trembling.

Even a fool would know that Bucky's handkerchief is definitely suspicious.

But what's the problem?

Even Walpo, who was standing in line, started racking his brains, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything.

The area where the handkerchief fell was the area starting from Walpole and extending backwards.

This brings us to the fact that the handkerchief has a square structure.

So it's possible to start from one corner and land diagonally on the ground.

"!!!" Jess and Cromarimon, who were standing next to Wapol, were also trembling.

Then the white curtain fell.

Wahlbo felt the white cloth touch his face, with an indescribable sensation.

It felt like being enveloped and swallowed up by something.

And then no more.

If you don't fight back in time when you're hit by the magician's hand, there's only one outcome.

The curtain fell to the ground.

The white cloth clung to the beach, as if the people who had just stood there had never existed.

The beach was quiet for a moment.

Then the curtain flew up.

The white cloth rose from the beach, growing smaller and smaller in the air until it became a palm-sized handkerchief, which flew back into Bucky's hand.

Bucky looked down at the handkerchief.

"The clown magic show was a complete success!" Bucky felt that he had used up more energy than usual, but it was still within an acceptable range.

The Magic Handkerchief requires Bucky's stamina to activate.

The extent of consumption depends on the magnitude of the change, strength, and quantity.

However, the White Iron Pirates were all quite weak, so they didn't take much to Buggy's liking, especially since they didn't dare to fight back.

Then Bucky reached into his handkerchief and pulled out a tiny, chibi-style figure about the size of a thumb.

The first thing Bucky pulled out was, of course, the round Wapol doll.

Bucky held the tiny Walpo up to his eyes and examined it closely.

Although it has been transformed into a chibi version, the fear can still be seen in its facial features.

"Hmm." Bucky nodded in satisfaction and placed Wapol's doll in his left palm.

Then Bucky took out all of Handpari's chibi-style figurines.

Including Wahlbo, there are a total of 10.

These people, who were turned into dolls by Bucky, remain conscious, but are unable to move.

Bucky could sense what they were trying to say and their emotions—they were all begging and surrendering.

However, for Bucky, this is not the time to unravel the Joker's magic.

The quiet on the beach turned into utter stillness.

No one speaks.

No one is breathing.

Even the waves seemed to stop crashing at that moment.

"Walpo--Lord Wapol--Lord Wapol was--" Jess's face turned ashen, his lips trembled violently, and his teeth chattered.

"Lord Wapol—Lord Wapol was—" Cromarimon was even more devastated than him; the official's legs had completely given way and he collapsed to the ground.

There was nothing we could do; the three of them were standing together just now.

Wapol was standing in the middle, so only one corner of the handkerchief covered him.

In other words, Jayce and Cromarimon were almost hit by the Magic Handkerchief.

The other members of the White Iron Pirates standing on the edge of the Magic Handkerchief area were also trembling.

This method of turning people into dolls is truly terrifying.

Buggy didn't care what the other members of the White Iron Pirates thought.

In his eyes, the only important members of the entire White Iron Pirates crew were two Devil Fruit users and 20 doctors.

Apart from that, everything else is just an add-on.

"From today onwards, there will be no more White Iron Pirates~" Buggy's gaze fell on the small toys he was holding.

With a gentle voice and a smiling face, that's Bucky the Clown.

"You will all belong to the Buggy Pirates~" Buggy smiled as he looked at those standing on the beach, thankful that they had escaped.

"You should be grateful."

"You have temporarily saved your lives and freedom."

"But it's only temporary."

Buggy won't consider these people as his own until they are completely loyal to the Buggy Pirates.

Prior to this, there were only basic benefits after nominally joining.

Mochi and Kabaji stood at the edge of the crowd and exchanged a glance.

They read the same message in each other's eyes: the captain is in a good mood today.

Then Bucky turned around and looked at Mochi and Kabaji: "Mochi~ Kabaji~"

Both of them stiffened simultaneously, like frogs caught in the eye of a snake, instinctively standing up straight.

"That ship, the White Iron King—" Bucky tilted his head towards the White Iron King, "From today onwards, it belongs to the two of you."

"All the supplies and crew on this ship are under your control. From now on, this is the Buggy Pirates' second ship."

"Can you do it?" Bucky's gaze swept from Mochi's face to Kabaji's, the smile on his lips not fading.

Mochi and Kabaji both spoke at the same time: "Yes!"

The two were deeply moved.

This is quite different from when he was Bucky's henchman on the Giant.

Previously, it was said that Mochi was the first mate and Kabaji was the chief of staff.

But since they're together every day, it's ultimately Bucky who makes the final decisions.

Now that they've started dividing the ships, it means they've begun to gain real control.

This is similar to how the head office leaders are transferred to branch offices to become shareholders; it's a benefit for early followers in the collective development process.

Mochi and Cabaji will bring some of Buggy's crew over, and then break up the original White Iron Pirates and distribute them among their own men.

Even the henchmen of Buggy's Pirates can now be promoted to squad leaders.

This is what it means to reap the benefits of organizational development.

That's truly cause for celebration!

Bucky nodded.

Then he turned around and looked at the three women standing on the other side.

"Nami, Nojiko, Alvida."

Nami paused slightly, then took a step forward.

Nojiko followed behind her, while Alvida walked at the very back.

"You guys, Mochi, and Kabaji, sort these people out and register the names of the lower-level squad leaders and their subordinates." Bucky tilted his head towards the prisoners on the beach.

It's quite common on the high seas to absorb other pirate crews and expand one's own size and scale.

"I understand." Nami's lips curled up slightly; she quite liked this feeling of accomplishment.

Today can be described as a great harvest. The treasure is indeed money, but capturing slaves is also money.

Human resources are also resources.

Nami is the general manager of Buggy's pirate crew.

Noki nodded without saying anything.

Alvida's eyes swept over the prisoners, and they all took a half step back.

Bucky raised his right hand and used his left hand to pick up the small toys from his right palm.

Then he turned around and walked towards the Giant, as he had other things to do next.

Mochi and Kabaji watched Bucky's retreating figure until the red-clad figure disappeared through the cabin door of the Giant.

"Let's go." Kabaji turned around and looked in the direction of the White Iron King. "Let's go see our new ship."

"Okay." Mochi nodded and followed behind him.

The two walked a few steps when Mochi suddenly stopped.

"Kabaji".

"Um?

'

Do you think we can do a good job?

Kabaji paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Mochi was silent for a moment, then said, "We need to work harder."

The two of them have been finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with Bucky's pace lately, and it's hard for them to improve their strength.

This is also why people would consider developing sub-groups.

Since they can't provide military assistance to Pakistan, they should at least play a role in management, right?

Otherwise, they'd become completely useless!

This point was etched even deeper into their hearts after they witnessed Alvida's power.

Mochi shook his head, banishing these chaotic thoughts from his mind, and quickened his pace to catch up with Kabaji.

In the captain's cabin of the Giant.

Bucky sat down in the chair and then placed the dolls one by one on the table in front of him.

Wapol, Mshuru—four of the 20 doctors, plus some ordinary henchmen from the White Iron Pirates.

Bucky arranged the dolls one by one on the table, neatly lining them up in rows.

Sunlight streamed in through the porthole, illuminating the little dolls, making them look like the toy chess pieces of a stereotypical otaku.

Then Bucky snapped his fingers, and the room's windows closed automatically.

The room darkened, and the two candles on the table lit themselves. In the candlelight, Bucky's face appeared in the mirror on the table, looking extremely terrifying and sinister.

Bucky's gaze swept over the dolls, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Next, I'll be performing another magic trick for you~"

"A magic trick that you will always remember me for."

"You will remember that you will always be a member of the Buggy Pirates."

"Whether you live or die, you will all be under my control."

Clown Magic: Hypnosis. Bucky takes a pocket watch from the drawer, with a chain attached to it, and holds it in his hand.

Then the pocket watch started swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

An invisible wave seemed to spread out, enveloping all the dolls.

In the state of being a doll, one's will is generally much weaker.

Bucky usually keeps these dolls aware of their surroundings, which makes them even more terrified when they can't move.

After hypnotizing these dolls, they are placed in a silent box and locked in a dark room.

This is the most cost-effective approach that Pakistan has figured out so far.

Bucky kept talking to these dolls, imprinting mental suggestions into their will.

"Very good." Bucky withdrew his hand and began to put the hypnotized dolls into the silent box, then leaned back in his chair.

And on the beach outside.

"Distribute the manpower, one person leading one, one person leading two—that's about it, register them." Nami stood on the beach, holding the small notebook in her hand, looking at the prisoners whose foreheads were marked with numbers.

Nojiko was talking to 20 doctors; well, now there are only 16 doctors left.

Alvida had absolutely no interest in these things; in her eyes, these ordinary pirates were too weak.

The Buggy Pirates members, who were assigned to be his henchmen, were quite excited.

Does this mean he's made it big by following Bucky?

Mochi and Kabaji were dividing up the crew, preparing to take them aboard the White Iron King.

Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.
