Buggy D Clown

No matter how much Akainu yelled and refused to believe it, the massive magma fists formed by the dozen Great Eruptions had already descended upon him, smashing the surroundings into enormous magma craters in the blink of an eye. Pools of scarlet magma filled the newly-formed potholes.

And Akainu's body vanished in that debris and chaos.

The occurrence of this scene left no doubt in the minds of everyone on the battlefield - the appearance of those individuals was real, not a hallucination or trickery!

"Damn it!"

Sengoku, witnessing this scene, was genuinely panicked this time, unlike Whitebeard's earlier outbursts.

Meanwhile, aboard the Moby Dick...

After taking a deep, excited breath, Luffy shouted towards the execution platform:

"Ace! I'm here to save you! Even if you're mad, I will save you!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Garp slapped his palms against his forehead once again and muttered under his breath, "Luffy, you little brat!"

"Luffy!" Ace was left with a mixture of relief and worry, not expecting this scene to become a reality. At this moment, he felt both glad and concerned.

"Garp! Look at the trouble your brat has caused! Can't your family bring me a moment of peace? I can't handle this again and again!" Sengoku stared down at Garp, grinding his teeth.

Garp, no longer speaking forcefully, let out a long sigh and changed the subject, "Sengoku, those guys..."

"Ah! I know the situation has become quite troublesome."

Sengoku's eyes held a mix of concern and curiosity.

"I wonder what their intentions are here," he pondered aloud.

Just as Sengoku finished speaking, a commotion erupted among the group of people on the opposing side.

At that moment, everyone's gaze focused on the man who had risen from the high sand platform. Standing tall, his figure exuded a sense of majesty under the sunlight. Clad in a white suit procured from CP0, and with his signature clown makeup, he emanated a rebellious aura.

If it weren't for the change in his demeanour that made him unrecognizable to both Marines and pirates, many would have wanted to call out the name of this hot-blooded man upon seeing his face.

With his hands casually in his pockets, the sunlight casting a shadow across his cheeks, his slightly mischievous voice resounded through the inner and outer squares of Marineford.

"Ace, my nephew your uncle is here to pick you up. Now say bye-bye to your grandpa Garp."

"Whitebeard, are you too old to wield a Murakumogiri? Akainu has made a fool out of you."

"It seems that saving Captain Roger's son should be left to his crew members."

With each statement, the man took a step forward, descending from the yellow sand platform. However, to everyone's surprise, he did not land on the deck of Moby Dick as expected. Instead, he stood in mid-air, holding his hand to stroke the few strands of hair hanging down his forehead. He lifted the cloak behind his back with a single hand and spoke with a smile.

"Hahahaha! The top battlefield has arrived, and a new era is upon us. Dance to your heart's content, everyone!"

A resounding cheer erupted from the crowd, led by the likes of Ivankov and others.

Mr. 1 raised his microphone and shouted, his voice amplified, "Today, let us offer our blood as a tribute to the presence of our esteemed captain Clown King!"

With a battle cry, Mr. 1 leapt from the Moby Dick, followed by Luffy, Ivankov, Crocodile, Jinbei, Lucci, Kaku, and other formidable individuals who charged into the fray.

Witnessing this scene, Sengoku yelled angrily, "Buggy the clown! Have you been hiding for decades just for this moment? Damn you! Do you aim to become the new Emperor?"

Upon hearing the name, Whitebeard froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Gurarara! Red nose, is that you? I never would have imagined that the little fellow from Roger's crew would grow to this extent. You and Shanks have become quite impressive."

Whitebeard paused for a moment, his laughter subsiding.

"Although I don't understand why you've been playing in the mud all this time, I, Whitebeard, will remember your help in this war. Clown King, a fitting name for the new Emperor!"

Amidst the astonishment of both Sengoku and Whitebeard, the live broadcast viewers worldwide were left dumbfounded.

"Buggy the clown!? That pirate with a mere bounty of 15 million Baileys?"

"That guy was a member of Roger's crew? Alongside the Red-Haired Shanks? Is he using this war between the Marines and Whitebeard to vie for a spot among the Four Emperors?"

"Stop joking! There's no way he could be one of the Four Emperors now. Could he be targeting Whitebeard?"

"He must have had serious plans behind his decades-long charade!"

"But both Whitebeard and Admiral Sengoku said he had been hiding for years and revealed his identity to save the Pirate King's son!"

"Is Captain Buggy truly that powerful?! Holy shit, Alvida, come and witness this!"

"I never imagined that Ace was Roger's son! Roger, you truly were disconnected! Nevertheless, it's quite something to see Buggy grow into this. Gabban and the others are here too! Today is truly a joyous day!"

"Buggy, you've outsmarted me, haven't you? Mr Gabban and Bullet have been rescued by you? Hahahaha! Seeing you there, Buggy puts my mind at ease. Clown King suits you perfectly! Well then, Kaido, don't you crave a battle? Come on! Let's give it our all!"

"Damn it, Akagami! Are you out of your mind? Do you really want to go to war against us, the Beast Pirates? But..."

"No, Master Kaido! Red-Hair's Conqueror's Haki is too formidable. He's suppressing our entire fighting force. If we continue like this, we'll suffer. We can't fight him here!"

The revelation of Buggy's true identity caused a global uproar. However, little did the world know that this was only the beginning of their terror.
