After many days of preparation, Li Wei finally finished a script that could pass for the real thing.
As a fan of One Piece, he wanted to give Buggy the Clown some serious power.
Although Buggy is a comedic character, in anime, comedic characters are often the strongest; even the protagonist Luffy's Nika Fruit completely changed the art style when it appeared, making it resemble the familiar Tom and Jerry.
He had to do the narration himself; the blonde girl beside him still had her part to play later, and he couldn't let her voice appear on the tenmu, allowing anyone with ill intentions to connect her with the tenmu, which would be somewhat counterproductive.
“Are you sure you want to follow this script? If this script is broadcast, Buggy the Clown will probably be stuck in prison for life. Do you hate him that much?”
“System, don't talk nonsense. It's precisely because I have so much love for this character that I put so much effort into creating this script.
Buggy the Clown's reputation will spread throughout the world after today,” Li Wei said, spreading his arms to embrace the Sea breeze.
If it weren't for the Big Liar System, any other system would have believed him; there wasn't a single truthful word from this man's mouth.
“Buggy's image has been on the tenmu for an hour.
The warm-up is complete.
It's your turn, Host.
Let me see the strength of a fun-loving person.”
Inside a tavern in Loguetown:
All members of the Buggy Pirates had sobered up and surrounded Buggy the Clown.
They never expected that the Captain they followed would become a powerful figure who would influence the Sea's pattern in the future.
It was like a pie falling from the sky onto the heads of these subordinates.
“Captain, our Buggy Pirates are going to make a name for ourselves.
We can recruit more crew members to search for the treasure in your heart,” Mohji flattered from the side.
Alvida raised her wine glass towards Buggy the Clown.
What beauty doesn't love a strong man?
She admitted to herself that she had misjudged him a bit.
“I really underestimated you, Captain Buggy.
I wonder what kind of future the tenmu will reveal about you.
I'm really looking forward to it.”
To be honest, Buggy's image, at first glance, was that of a comical clown.
He was relatively short, less than two meters tall, and even shorter than Alvida after she became thin and beautiful.
One must know that in the One Piece World, anything under three meters is considered a cripple; most famous strong people on the Sea are tall and strong, and height is a factor in aesthetic judgment.
“I, the great Buggy, am the strongest!
Come on, my little ones, let's go outside and feast!
In the future, I, Buggy the Clown, will surely shake the Sea!” Buggy, standing on the table, pointed at the tavern's ceiling and laughed wildly with an exaggerated mouth.
He wasn't thinking too much right now; just enjoying the moment was enough.
If the Marine chased him and he couldn't win, he would just run.
His escape ability was first-class; he always managed to escape from his enemies.
This luck-based Haki was not just for show.
In Loguetown, Smoker received a report from a Marine soldier, confirming that Buggy the Clown was currently in Loguetown, and his entire Pirate Crew was celebrating in a tavern.
“He really was underestimated.
As soon as the tenmu broadcast is over, immediately arrest Buggy the Clown.
I want to see how strong this future strong man really is,” Smoker said, puffing on a cigar, his eyes gleaming with fierceness.
To hunt such prey, today was truly wonderful.
“Colonel Smoker, there's a voice!
It's a man's voice!” Tashigi pointed at the tenmu.
At this moment, the tenmu had changed; from Buggy the Clown's original image, it now showed all members of the Roger Pirates.
Among them were two young pirates who looked like children, one with a red nose and one with red hair.
As a man's voice narrated, all eyes around the world were firmly drawn to the tenmu.
What kind of strong man would this comical-looking clown truly be in the future!
“Buggy, a name that will echo throughout the Sea in the future.
Everyone who had seen him before thought he was just a clown meant to entertain, but everyone was deceived by his acting.
Would a man who served as an apprentice crew member on the former Pirate King's ship willingly stay in a small place like the East Blue?
Don't the Marines find that strange?”
“You should know that the other apprentice, Red-Haired Shanks, is currently on the Grand Line.
The two of them have been close friends since childhood, so close that Shanks even gave up the chance to reach the Final Island because Buggy was sick.
Unfortunately, their ideologies were vastly different, and in the end, they became the most familiar strangers.”
“Before discussing Buggy's life, we must first explain his current strength.
The power he has diligently honed for over twenty years is enough to shock the entire One Piece World.”
“Buggy is currently nicknamed the Clown, and in the future, he will be called 'Thousand-Face Buggy' by the Marines.
He is the last Sea Emperor, possessing the Conqueror's Haki, which only one in a million people has.
He was born with the aptitude to be a King, and he learned the Conqueror's Haki Infusion attack method from Pirate King Roger.”
“He has honed the most top-tier Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee a certain amount of future during combat.
His Observation Haki also has a special quality: it always brings him inexplicable good luck, allowing him to turn danger into fortune every time.”
“He has developed advanced Armament Haki.
This Haki can cover his entire body, providing him with a certain degree of defense and offense.
Because he looked down on Kozuki Oden on the Pirate King's ship, he gave up learning the top-tier Armament Haki technique, Ryu-o.”
“He is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit Ability User of the Chop-Chop Fruit.
Building upon Devil Fruit Awakening, he further deduced a stronger power of the Devil Fruit, which he named Devil Fruit Liberation.
In this state, he can ignore Sea Stone and the effects of seawater, causing even seasoned Haki users to be unable to resist his Devil Fruit Ability.”
The tenmu highlighted the images of the two children from the Roger Pirates and labeled their names below: the red-nosed boy was named Buggy, and the red-haired boy was named Shanks.
The latter's name had already resounded throughout the Grand Line, while the former's name was unknown to anyone before today.
“Captain Buggy, no, I should call you Lord Buggy.
You kept us in the dark so well!” Mohji directly hugged his Captain's leg.
He never expected this leg to become so thick one day.
“Lord Buggy, please forgive my disrespect just now.
This humble girl was blind just now,” Alvida said, holding a glass of fine wine as she walked up to Captain Buggy.
Only such a strong man was worthy of a beauty's devotion.
“Lord Buggy will be a Sea Emperor in the future, at least at the level of a Four Emperors.
All of us are going to enjoy good fortune.
It's the greatest honor to join the Buggy Pirates,” the Pirate Crew members said, laughing and surrounding their Captain, full of even greater anticipation for Lord Buggy's future.
Buggy the Clown, in the eye of the storm of public opinion, was utterly bewildered at this moment.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Although some parts of what the tenmu said were true, the descriptions of his strength were too outlandish.
Developing two abilities from a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, and being a user of Three-Color Haki?
What was all this about?
He didn't even know he was that strong; for over twenty years of carefree living, he had purely bullied the weak.
All the lies he had ever told combined weren't as grand as what he heard today…
