One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 12 Reporter

"Are you interested in being a reporter?"

These were the first words Arne heard after he opened his eyes in the white ward.

reporter.
This profession sounds a bit far from being a pirate.

Arne couldn't think of any advantages he had as a journalist.

At most, he had studied for a few years with an old adventurer on a small island in his hometown in the South China Sea, and was able to recognize a few words and understand nautical charts.

However, among the group of pirates, this is already considered highly educated.

But it has nothing to do with the journalist industry.

Arne's eyes were full of doubt.

"Am I not a navigator?"

"Candidate!" Bucky emphasized, "Well, you'd better be interested. After all, I bought you, so whether you like it or not, you have to be this reporter."

Bucky felt that he still respected the other party very much.

At least I asked.

"As for whether it is suitable or not, you don't need to consider this issue."

Bucky lay back on the bed, but Arne, the patient, stood up in a daze.

"After all... we don't need to chase the news."

“We make news.”

Ok.

Arne, the former navigator candidate and former pirate, got a new career plan after leaving the iron cage.

The first step of this career plan is to become a journalist.

What counts as a journalist?
At least you have to find a newspaper to apply for a job, right?

Following the advice of Sergeant Jacques, who was familiar with the conditions in the Chabaotier Archipelago, Arne came to the area of ​​Hotel Street No. 35.

This is where the crew members who are waiting for permission to pass through Marijoa stop temporarily.

Applying for permission from the World Government and then crossing the Red Earth Continent via a specially designed bubble elevator is the safest way to travel between the first and second halves of the Grand Line.

Another way is to go to Fishman Island in the deep sea ten thousand meters deep.

That is a hole in the deep sea of ​​the Red Earth Continent, and the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates is still flying on it.

For newspapers, the benefits of choosing to be stationed on Hotel Street are obvious.

The crew members traveling between the New World and Paradise Section spread the news of events that happened somewhere while talking to each other.

Arne felt somewhat uneasy.

I wonder if the newspaper discriminates against people who used to work in the pirate industry?
Why do you want to be a journalist?

Arne was too lazy to think about it.

His experience on the warship told him that he should just follow Buggy's instructions. The more he thought about it, the faster he would die.

He looked at the circular multi-story building in front of him. On it was a simple wooden sign that read: World Economic News Agency's branch in the Chabao Archipelago.

I made up my mind and walked straight in.

-------

In the sanatorium at the naval base.

Bucky now faces a rather tricky problem.

A problem that many people will encounter is the problem of addressing.

How should I address Major Yaro's father?

Lao Deng?

Or tell him...

I'm so sorry. It was I who threw your son into the sea of ​​fire. What you hear now is the voice of the fake person who replaced your son.

"Have the people from District 1 come to look for you?"

While Buggy was hesitating, the anthropomorphic Den Den Mushi in front of him had already started questioning with a stern face.

There are also clear notes on the volute.

His Excellency Baron Fyodor Lux.

As for Zone 1...

Buggy naturally thought of the human auction venue located in Area 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago. Strictly speaking, they were in the same industry.

As we all know, competitors are enemies.

Unpopular and unique is the secret to stealing points!

“They’re… quite interesting.” Bucky thought for a moment and said truthfully.

"interesting?"

"Don't underestimate them, and don't trust their sweet words! Behind the auction venue in Area 1 is the Don Quixote family, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"What does that have to do with me...us?"

Bucky is now thinking back to what it was like when he was a rebellious kid facing his alcoholic and domestically violent father.

"Of course it matters!"

Den Den Mushi's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"That bastard Doflamingo wants to buy my auction house for just 300 million berries. How is that possible!"

The roar of Baron Lux sounded like a hoarse insect, and his expression was ferocious.

"The Pirate Auction House in Area 4 is an important source of income for our family! It is a valuable asset inherited from my father and your grandfather!"

When the word "inheritance" was mentioned, the Baron's tone paused.

"Xiao Yaluo, although you cannot inherit the family property, you are still a part of the family."

Oh wow.

It seems that the guy who was thrown into the sea of ​​fire by me has a "special" identity.

No wonder family matters are rarely mentioned in the diary.

With such a relationship, it was no wonder that the major captain would take the initiative to contact me, and there was also the Sicilian major general behind him...

Bucky rubbed his chin, thinking.

"So be it."

During the time he was silent, the Baron took the lead in making a decision for him.

"Don't contact anyone from Auction No. 1 for now. After a while, I'll find a way to transfer you from the Judicial Detention Center to the Sabaody Archipelago."

The Judicial Detention Center, a place mentioned in Yaluo's diary, is a prison built on a small island not far from the Judicial Island.

When arrested criminals await the optional trial process on the judicial island, they will be temporarily detained in the detention center.

After a period of time, they will be transported to the underwater prison.

Yalu's original duty was to escort between the detention center and the underwater prison.

This also leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, one or some pirate prisoners may die in the detention center due to a serious illness that is difficult to treat, or they may suddenly become depressed and jump into the sea during the escort process.

These are all acceptable.

Pirates don't have any human rights organizations to cheer for them.

Another reason is that almost all pirates’ sentences are permanent.

This was also the greatest role that Yaluo played for the Baron.

Of course, it was this Baron who helped Yaro from joining the navy to his subsequent promotion.

But what surprised Buggy even more was the Baron's influence in the Navy.

The baron seemed to be certain that Buggy would agree, and said to himself, "With you at the Area 66 base, our family's property will be more secure..."

"Of course, of course."

The Baron heard the answer he wanted.

The only thing that was a little strange was that his good son's tone today seemed a little strange.

It seems like he is being sarcastic.

It shouldn’t be…

Baron Lux could only attribute the reason to the fact that he was frightened by the explosion of the escort warship some time ago.

A fugitive actually did such a horrific thing.

That pirate clown is so scary!
