"Ha..."

"Cough! Cough!"

"Ha...hahahaha!"

In the gloomy and damp cabin, three prisoners were locked in three cages that looked very solid.

One was huddled in the corner of the cage, and the one in the middle had a gloomy face.

Another one was lying on the metal plate, hunched over, but he couldn't wait to squeeze out a laugh full of joy.

How could he not laugh?

Bucky turned his head and the moonlight fell on his face through the round window.

There was a bone "X" on his forehead, a conspicuous red nose, bright red lips, and a stubbled beard.

He lifted the corners of his mouth with two index fingers and laughed.

"Ha...ha..."

So happy!

There are such interesting and wonderful things happening in the world!

So happy!

Bucky's face was pressed against the floor and twisted. There were three people in his mind now.

One is a college student who works part-time as a clown in an amusement park, trying to make the child in front of him laugh.

The child frowned, thinking that this adult was too immature.

One is a patient in Arkham Asylum. The patient called himself Jack, but the outside world preferred to call him the Joker.

In the memory, Jack was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror, trying to force a smile on his face that was completely corroded by chemicals.

The radio next to him was playing the news of a terrorist attack on a bank in Gotham City.

Another one is the most famous clown in the Grand Line, Bucky.

The Ugly King!

That is, the original owner of this body.

When he was looking for treasure with his men, he accidentally broke into a secret base of the Navy and saw several familiar children and a fat man holding a big axe.

Then he was arrested on the spot.

The memories of the three people were like kneading stuffing, two points of Bucky, five points of Jack, and three points of the part-time college student.

Mixed together, stirred hard in one direction.

Then hit hard.

Until the three are completely kneaded together and have a sense of glue.

What a magical and joyful thing this is!

Bucky's heart is filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

It's like the first time the Joker saw the extremely twisted, contradictory, and extremely interesting leather guy in the newspaper.

It's also like the first time a college student got a part-time salary and rewarded himself with a Big Mac meal in the Golden Arches.

He lost the fun of a city and gained the fun of a world.

So happy.

…

…

"Shut up, bastard!"

The gloomy man raised his head and showed a fierce look.

In the gloomy and stuffy cabin, this cheerful laughter was too harsh.

If his hands and feet were not shackled and he was imprisoned alone in this cage like a slave cage, he dared to guarantee that he would definitely catch that red nose and fish for sea kings!

"I'm sorry, hahaha, I'm sorry..."

"I just can't help it!"

Baki sat up, waved his hand, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and apologized sincerely, if he didn't have a grin on his face.

"I can't help laughing when I think about the prison we're going to soon!"

"Aren't you looking forward to it? It's a prison that no one can escape from. First floor, second floor, third floor..."

He pointed at the gloomy man next door and another man who was hiding in the shadow of the corner and couldn't see his face clearly, as if he was assigning them a cell.

"The Red Crimson Hell with a large forest of sword trees with leaves like blades, the Beast Hell filled with all kinds of venomous snakes and beasts, the Hunger Hell with extremely hot and no water or food..."

Baki described the scene in hell in a very exaggerated and expectant tone.

The noisy words made the gloomy man's face look extremely bad, and his slightly trembling arms made the iron shackles make a whizzing sound.

The Undersea Prison, the absolute nightmare of all pirates galloping on this ocean!

Endless torture and the tightness that makes it impossible to escape make them extremely frightened!

And they are in a escort ship transported to the underwater prison.

They are all escorted criminals.

"Don't... don't say it anymore!"

"I told you not to say it anymore!"

Behind the fierce look of the gloomy man, there is extreme panic.

Being in hell is a kind of pain, and the process of slowly falling into hell, quietly waiting for the knife to fall on the neck, is a kind of heart-wrenching torture.

"Yo, are you scared?"

Bucky tilted his head and smiled.

He is very observant.

He looks fierce but weak. He is obviously very scared but still pretends to be deep and vicious. There are not obvious suture marks on the arm with the cross tattoo. When he raises his hand, his face changes slightly.

This kid must be hiding something.

It is likely that some flat and sharp objects can be hidden in the flesh without being discovered...

If the other party's arms have not been shaking uncontrollably due to fear, Bucky may not be able to find it.

It seems that he is lucky.

Buggy narrowed his eyes, and thoughts popped up in his mind one after another.

In such an interesting world, if he stayed in the cage like this, and was locked up in the underwater prison according to the plot in his memory, and then waited for some hot-blooded boy to come and make a fuss before he could escape, wouldn't it be too boring?

Unchanging.

That would be a waste of the miraculous changes that happened to him!

He pondered for a while, then suddenly rushed down to the edge of the cage, his ferocious face facing the gloomy man, and said in a very spicy and harsh tone:

"Since you know you are afraid, since you don't want to go to hell, then give me the things you hide on your arm!"

"You don't want the guards to know that you have hidden things, my dear cellmate?"

Bucky is also very familiar with shocking such people.

There are many such gangsters in Gotham City, where the people are simple and honest.

You only need to use words as hooks to hook up the uncontrollable fear in his heart, destroy his disguise on the surface, and then use a little sudden and direct scolding...

"You...how did you know!"

The gloomy man opened his eyes wide, his palms full of cold sweat.

He had suffered a serious knife wound on his right arm, with an obvious wound. Later, he suddenly had an idea and hid a sharp blade in it while using tattoos to cover it up.

As his last trump card.

Sure enough...

Baki's smile became brighter, squinting his eyes, and even habitually licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

Without the corrosion of chemicals and the erosion after the knife, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Give it to me, or let the navy shoot you now."

"We all know that this thing can't do anything now or in the big prison, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed until now..."

"Right?"

Baki's words were like the whisper of the devil, one sentence after another to offset the gloomy man's inner resistance.

A blade, let alone in the legendary underwater prison, even if it is now in the warship, it is of no use.

What's more, the other party's words and deeds also contain some threatening meanings...

He lowered his head and prepared to tear the wound open with his mouth.

"Fifteen million Baileys, Pirate Buggy."

"Heh, the navy really underestimated you."

The prisoner who had been shrinking in the corner suddenly made a sound.

At the same time, he slowly turned around so that the moonlight could recognize his appearance.

"A bounty of 57 million berries... the vicious dog Musa!"

Musa raised his head, with a chuckle on his scarred face.

"It's me!"

"So, you should also understand who the thing should be given to."

"I am the great pirate who has the chance to take you away from here."

His smile gradually became arrogant.

Musa's tone was very hard, but he had no hope of escaping.

His hands were handcuffed with seastone handcuffs, the pure metal dog cage was locked tightly, and he was still on a navy warship escorted by a brigadier general.

How to escape?

It was just that Buggy and Arne's performance made him feel interesting.

What was a little strange was that a pirate with a bounty of 15 million berries was qualified to be imprisoned with his vicious dog Musa.

The navy was really idle.

As for what the other pirate might have hidden on him...

This kind of thing is very common among pirates.

At most, it would be to secretly hide a wire or a blade, what good would it do?

But if you report it, you might get yourself a good meal!

Newbies are on the road!! Get out of the way!!
