One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 11 Human Auction Venue
"Then what."

Jacques recalled that the pirate Buggy, who blew up the warship and escaped, and whose bounty was raised from 15 million to 200 million in one breath, had the ability to be torn into pieces.

Damn, what do I know so much for!

He tried hard to gather his scattered thoughts and stop thinking about them too deeply.

"Can you believe me when I say I didn't see anything?"

“Of course.” Bucky smiled gently, “Let’s pretend nothing happened. Just like usual, I’m the major and you’re the sergeant. You prepare the accessories and I’ll take you flying.”

"May I?"

Jacques' voice trembled. He found Bucky's smile creepy.

Bucky forced another smile on his face, but maybe it was because his skin and flesh didn’t match the bones underneath, but his smile looked fake.

"Of course not."

"If I could, I would have let you go just now."

"But my dear sergeant, if you are willing to give me a handle that is enough to guarantee your life..."

He nodded his finger and looked like he was thinking seriously.

"That's not out of the question."

"But you have to remember that the handle must be able to guarantee your life. If it can only guarantee a part of your body, then you can only leave a part behind."

"As for the assessment of the guarantee, trust me."

"I have considerable banking experience," Bucky said confidently.

This has been certified by many banks in Gotham City.

He has entered more vaults than those bank tellers have.
-
The afternoon sun is a bit hot.

The climate of the Sabaody Archipelago is not extreme. Compared to Alabasta, which has a hot climate all year round, or Drum Island, which has a winter climate all year round, it can be said to be very pleasant.

The exception is warehouses where living things are stored.

The Marine guarding the door sniffed his nose, wondering how the major could stay in there for so long.

Fortunately, I don’t need to be accompanied in.

He was thankful that after a while, his whole body straightened up again.

He shouted vigorously: "Good afternoon, Captain Diouf!"

Captain Diouf, rank of major.

He is Major General Sicily's trusted subordinate.

Its main responsibility is to crack down on the criminals in No. 1 to No. 30 of the Chabao Archipelago.

How effective is the attack?
Anyway, the nobles were very satisfied.

"Major Yaro went in?"

Diouf has narrow eyes and a small face, and looks like a lizard.

"It's been a while."

"Oh, it looks like I don't have to go in."

Diouf also disliked the smell of the warehouse.

Why not clean it up?
Anyway, I don’t have to go in, so it’s fine as long as I can still use it.

Why do we need such a good environment for those redundant slaves?
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound of scattered footsteps.

Bucky walked in front, holding his nose, followed by Sergeant Jacques with a bitter look on his face, dragging half of Arne's body.

Without looking back, he walked past Diouf, who was smiling and extending his hand enthusiastically to greet him.

So irritating!
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Diouf's forehead.

"Major Yaro!" he shouted in suppressed anger.

"?"

Bucky walked for a distance, and at Jacques's signal, he remembered that his current identity was Yaro.

Then turned his head.

Thoughtful.

Who is this lizard-faced guy?

She looks quite distinctive.

Was there any mention of it in that guy's diary?
should not.

He clapped his hands, and after making sure that Lizard Face and Yaluo had no social connection, he prepared to continue walking.

After all, you can't ask a mentally ill person to socialize.

Should he maintain the original relationship, or was Bucky forced to make the decision in order to squeeze out the value of this identity?

"Captain Diouf is a major under Major General Sicily, the commander of the 66th Area Base."

It was Jacques who whispered beside him.

He's resigned to his fate. The evidence Bucky has on him is enough to kill him a dozen times over.

At least I was able to secure my life.

As for resistance
He was a naval sergeant, and facing an opponent that even a brigadier general was helpless against, it was already a success for him to save his life.

"Oh!" Bucky looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

He shook Diouf's outstretched hand cordially, "Captain, hello, Captain!"

"When I was a child, my father always told me how great it was to be a navy captain, because justice was on your shoulders!"

"Your Excellency the Baron, you are so kind!" Diouf was delighted to hear that.

"No, he later tattooed the word justice on the back of our Rottweiler."

"."

The smile on Diouf's face froze.

"Hey, Captain Diouf, don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about you. We are colleagues."

"Haha." Diouf's expression softened reluctantly.

"I just don't know. The captain is waiting for me here specifically. What's the matter?"

No one has ever said that this major talks so much and so harshly.

Diouf gritted his teeth, feeling some resentment in his heart.

It was difficult to get angry in front of him, so he could only swallow it back and force a smile.

"It's just some business matters. I want to consult Major Yaro."

"At least in this regard, we still have great opportunities for cooperation."

A dark gold business card was handed to Bucky.

There was no name on it, only a few large gold-plated characters - Human Auction Venue.

"It turns out that the captain is a lobbyist today."

"To be precise, I am one of the representatives, and I am also here to make an assessment." Diouf tilted his head back, looking as if he was trying to control you.

Not everyone is qualified to cooperate with the Human Auction Venue, the largest auction venue in the archipelago.

"Oh."

Bucky casually tossed the business card to Jacques.

He was very jealous of this business card.

Everyone in the entire Chabao Archipelago knew what this auction meant.

In the illegal areas, small and medium-sized slave-hunting teams would fight for this business card.

Celestial Dragon.
No, even the tiny bit that slipped through the fingers of those noble lords was enough to feed them well.

Even Jacques, a navy officer, was tempted.

Isn't this the moment I've been hugging for? !
Yes, this is the right reaction!
Diouf almost thought that Major Yaro was one of the few upright sailors who was completely unmoved by their invitation.

Maybe it's because he is of noble birth.

He consoled himself, then felt even more upset.

Jacques's mood has not yet calmed down, even though Diouf left after leaving an invitation to the auction five days later.

The previous dissatisfaction with surrender also disappeared in an instant.

Who can have trouble with money?

Besides, slaves and slave trade are commonplace on this island.

What's even more ironic is that this island is the closest island to the Navy Headquarters on the Grand Line.

"Captain, no, Major, can we also participate in this business?"

"What do they see in us?"

He asked, trying to keep some sanity.

"Of course it's resources." Bucky patted Arne's shoulder.

"Resources! We are really going to make a fortune!"

Jacques' eyes brightened.

If the major was still the same major, if he had never been to this warehouse, he would not have so many thoughts.

But it's different now.

"No"

Bucky had a familiar smile on his face, which was inexplicable.

"Don't just care about the money. This beautiful island deserves a criminal with better taste."
