The Emperor Clown Arc Vol 1

A Captain Fight

Crocodile has killed the person who spotted him. He looks up only to see someone faraway with binoculars. “So they had total control of this island…”

Meanwhile at the Davy Back Fight…

“Winch Green Bastille!” Yonji launched perhaps his last through over at the full body haki Daz. It smashed Daz with a shockwave and he hit the ground knocked out cold. Yonji held a thumbs down, “and its another Winsmoke.”

“There we have it folks! Round 2 goes to the ex-Beast Pirates!” Morgans exclaimed just as the crowd cheered. Buggy’s crewmen in the stands cried over Daz’s performance. The team hovered over Daz. Caesar declared, “he’s dead mate.”

“He isn’t dead!” Alvida and Galdino shouted after socking Caesar.

“Sorry Buggy, you’ll….have to beat…Apoo on your own,” Daz said weakly.

“We’re cooked,” Buggy said.

“It was nice knowing you captain,” saluted Alvida.

“Wait,” Cabaji interrupted, “its not like Apoo’s crazy strong. With some muggy balls and free range, you’ll wreck him.”

“Yeah but isn’t he known as undefeated?” Galdino asked.

“Because he runs away,” Mihawk said cutting in. “Apoo is known for tagging Kizaru but that was before running away from him. His sound abilities are also naturally weaker than your chop chop, unless he’s awakened.”

Buggy then argued, “yeah but the fact that he’s not running away from me means that he will do more than just tagging me! I’ll die.”

“Then die,” Mihawk replied.

Buggy groveled on the ground, “don’t say it like that, it sounds like a prophecy.”

Galdino suggested, “Well maybe we can convince him to make it an all crew fight instead of just a captain fight. We have more numbers and may not even have to fight.”

Mohji then cut in, “captain, you can do this! I know you’re strong because I too have become strong! We all believe in you…you are the man to become Pirate King!” Everyone froze. Buggy nodded. “Enough running. I’ll kick his ass for you, Mohji.” Buggy stepped away to stand across from Apoo.

“Check it out, the little munch came out to receive an L. Are you ready for the captain fight? Be on guard, I might accidentally kill you.”

Losing all composure, Buggy dropped to all fours and murmured, “I forfeit.” The moment he did though, Mihawk slashed ‘Junyadi’ chopping up the ground and slashing across Apoo. Apoo fell on his back blood flying everywhere. Everyone was shocked. Some of the Buggy crewmen shouted, “holy shit, Buggy’s awakened.” “He used Chop Chop on the ground and Apoo instantly”. “Buggy really is an Emperor with the strongest fruit!”

Mihawk sighed good, no one saw that. Heyritten laughed, “barbarbarbarbar, what an evil fiend, that Dracule.”

“So I did see him move,” Urouge said. “That was incredibly fast, but I wonder what the reason was.”

“Brother, Mihawk is a Scaramouche. A conceited and narrowminded schemer. Only defeated by the faithful but goofy Harlequin, Perona, and only he knows what he wants.”

Buggy looked up, “huh? Who killed him?”. Mihawk reminded him, “Ugh, Buggy, don’t attack him so suddenly. First he has to choose one of us and shouldn’t you bring up Galdino’s idea?”

“Oh right,” Buggy said standing up.

Apoo rose off the ground, “the hell was that!? No way you’re awakened!”

“Whose to say?”

“You are!”

Morgans announced, “well unfortunately, you’re just gonna have to walk it off Apoo. Make your choice of a crewmember from Buggy’s team!”

“I’ll choose Urouge.”

“Cool,” he didn’t move from his seat.

“And so…Finzione,” Morgans started, “Urouge is back where he started! Dumb! Now we move onto the final round, the captain fight!”

“Pause, I’d like this to be a full crew fight,” Buggy said.

“Oooooo, an interesting suggestion considering you’re missing Daz. What say you, Apoo?”

A catman came over to Apoo and whispered, “hey, we found Crocodile digging up the treasure.”

“Whoa whoa whoa, so not swagger. Buggy! You had Crocodile dig up the treasure in the middle of this Fight?”

Buggy started to shake his head but then his crewmates shouted, “our captain’s such a good pirate, he looted them right under their noses” and “what a conniving genius.” so Buggy nodded his head.

“Then this was all for show, idiot. I’m canceling the Davy Back Fight! Now it’s a Pirate War.”

“Whoohoo! Pirate War,” Morgans cheered. “Although all you Finzione civilians should probably cower and hide in the safety of your homes.”

They started panicking and finding their way out of the room. Buggy fingered his ear, “this is going better than I thought. Crocodile stole what I wanted and I basically already claimed the island. And I didn’t have to throw one punch. Being Emperor is easy shit.” Boom, Buggy was exploded by Apoo.

“We’re killing you, clown!”

“You can try,” he said holding out his hand. “Now you die!”……Nothing happened! He looked at his hand saying, “I guess I really didn’t awaken my fruit. That kind of miracle only happens for idiots who fight with their guts.”

Mihawk hit Buggy, “you did not seriously think you awakened your fruit!”

Apoo shouted, “Numbers! Throw a rave across the island and kill all of these circus pirates!”

“Kwahahahah, this is turning out to be most interesting,” Morgans announced. “I wonder if the Vinsmokes will fight considering the game’s over! And what of Urouge, who is apparently the brother of lurking legend Heyritten! And what will happen to Vivi in the middle of all of this?? BIG NEWS!”

Judge shouted at his kids, “We’re leaving! We’ll hit the town for some drinking water and then return to the ship. Queen, Caesar, follow us if you’re not completely caught up in this war of Apoo.” Then the Vinsmokes blasted out of the tent in a rainbow.

The numbers all started to stand tall. The threw off the tent and then started a rampage. Hatcha, who was holding Vivi, swung her around as he smashed mushrooms and buildings.

Urouge waved at Apoo, “hey, I’m not really fighting with you but my brother and I will be around whenever this is done.”

“On that note,” Heyritten said, “I am not betting in your favor. Apoo you’re too much of a ruthless pirate to get anywhere in life. And to think I was going to make you a slave. You keep running around everywhere with next to no one trusting you, eventually the music has to stop. No one here is playing pirate games.”

“What is that supposed to mean? Don’t leave me, I’m a fun guy.”

“Not a good pun on this island,” Buggy pointed out.

Queen grew into dinomode, “Caesar, you have to join our side if Neo-MADS is gonna work!”

Buggy said, “Who cares? You can totally do evil science in our crew.”

“Shit I mean you guys even had hoes on Empty Bluffs, I’m sold.”

“Traitor!” Apoo and Queen shouted.

“Growl! Nine Claw Pirates, come to!” They jumped to Habdurra’s side although it was only six of them. “As a matter of fact Perona, I lost my thumb fighting Jinbe so I am only left with nine claws. Still that will be enough to kill the lot of you for ownership of this island!”

“Oh I don’t like that threat, Mihawk your on him!”

“No-“

Buggy shot off into the air. “Listen here, everyone from Cross Guild! This buffoon from the Worst Generation thinks he can out clown me in a fight. Bro I’m THE Clown! I want y’all to put every tooth and nail in defending Finzione’s villagers and making away with all the treasure on the island! Now, go!” Buggy’s crewmen roared into battle and charged against Apoo, Queen, and Habdurra.

“Captain flew away,” pointed out Cabaji.

“Of course, these guys are gonna do our hard work,” Alvida stated. “They got bounties in the 100 millions. Let’s make a quick escape Galdino!”

“Yup,” he made a quick wax wax slide down the hill and into town. Alvida happily slid down followed by Caesar, Galdino, and unconscious Daz. Mihawk sat on a chair while Cabaji grabbed Mohji, “don’t just quit. We should fight for this island anyways. What did you train for?”

“But I wanted Buggy to fight! Look I’m already getting flabby again. We’re not an Emperor’s crew after all…” and Mohji took the slide.

Perona asked Mihawk, “aren’t you going to do anything or are you going to be the lazy loser like always?”

“I will not become something Buggy can depend on. You all must learn this.”

On a mushroom top was Crocodile. He finished off another cat pirate. “It’s like some ridiculous trail.” Then he noticed the Numbers and saw Buggy fly in the opposite direction. One of the numbers was headed toward the goal. “I hate this alliance.”
