Buggy D Clown

Buggy was feeling a little confused. He didn't know how to approach this situation. This guy ignited his knightly or samurai spirit and wants to become his Follower, all of a sudden. Although I don't know what this guy has in mind, it seems to be working well in my favour.

Sure enough, the people in the Baroque works weren't much different from the personalities I knew in my previous life. They all valued strength and companionship very much.

Anyway, Mr 1 had the highest potential among the Baroque Works members. Especially with his [Dice-Dice Fruit] ability. Once he learns the six styles and Haki in the future, he will definitely become a formidable killing machine!

If he reached the level of a master swordsman, he would be able to unleash countless slashes with a single stroke. He could be considered a humanoid slashing machine!

For now, Mr 1 had the most potential among the members of the Baroque Works in his team. Of course, this was assuming Crocodile didn't join them.

Buggy wasn't worried about that, though. The top three masters of the Baroque works were already in his team. With Crocodile's inclination to calculate behind the scenes, he probably wanted to poach these members from him when they got out of Impel Down.

He might passively join them first, waiting for the opportunity. With Buggy's current strength, Crocodile wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

The Logia Sand-Sand Fruit ability alone wasn't enough to deal with the new Buggy, especially after mastering the [Gildarts] personal template. Not only did Buggy's fruit ability improve, but his physical fitness and skills also greatly improved.

You must know that every Mage in the Fairy Tail world was also a melee master. Without a strong body, it was impossible to become a mage of the Ten Saints level in the world of Fairy Tail. A Mage like Gildarts, who was missing a hand and a foot from the beginning and still powerful, didn't rely solely on smashing magic.

With these thoughts in mind, Buggy waved at Mr. 1 and said in a deep voice, "I accept your allegiance. Rise! We have more important matters to attend to now."

"Yes, Lord Buggy!" Mr1 responded, his tone filled with excitement and enthusiasm, despite still having Sima's face.

Seeing this, Luffy, who was standing nearby, suddenly exclaimed in excitement, "Uncle Buggy, now that we're on the fourth floor, does that mean we can find Ace on the next floor?"

Uncle Buggy? Mr 1 was stunned upon hearing Luffy's words. Why did this straw hat kid call Buggy "Uncle"?

And when he mentioned Ace, could it be Fire Fist Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's second team who was captured? So they were actually going after Fire Fist Ace. That means this man was also connected to Whitebeard!

Hissing with realization, M r1 couldn't help but gasp in shock. Buggy walked to the edge of the fourth floor, shaking his head, and said, "Ace isn't held on the fifth floor. If my guess is correct, he should be imprisoned in the deepest part of Imperton, the sixth floor—Eternal Hell."

"The sixth floor!?" Luffy and the others exclaimed in astonishment.

"The Sixth floor is a special place only for pirates with immense strength. Later they are erased from the history of the world by the world government. The Pirate King Gold Roger was also kept here. "

Buggy said slowly, then frowned and added, "Moreover, I have a bad feeling that even if we reach the sixth floor, we might not be able to see Ace."

Hearing Buggy's words, Luffy, Mr 2and Mr 1 all had question marks on their faces. Didn't Buggy just say that Ace was imprisoned on the sixth floor? Why did he now say they might not be able to see him?

Mr3, who was standing nearby, pushed his glasses up and immediately understood what Buggy meant.

He asked, "Master Buggy, do you mean that Ace may have been transferred in advance? What makes you think so?"

Buggy glanced at Mr3 appreciatively and calmly replied, "Haven't you noticed? From the first floor until now, we've encountered minimal resistance. Only a few beasts initially blocked our way, and apart from a dozen or so jailers and prison chiefs on the third floor, no one has tried to stop us."

"Even if Magellan is involved, what about Hannyabal, the deputy director of the prison? What about those Zoan fruit awakeners known as the strongest jailers—Taurus, Basilisk, Sphinx, Scorpions and Manticores?"

"None of them have appeared before us. We haven't even seen the legendary Warden on par with Magellan, Shiryu of the Rain. Why do you think that is?"

Hissing in realization, the others, except for Luffy, gasped, their faces filled with horror. "It must be a conspiracy! There's definitely a big conspiracy at play," Mr3 said in a deep voice. "Master Buggy, it seems your guess is right. Ace was likely transferred earlier, and the sixth floor may have been set up by Magellan to trap us."

Bentham and Bones also nodded solemnly in agreement. Luffy, who was still trying to process everything, looked around with confusion, his mind filled with question marks. But suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Nani! Uncle Buggy, you mean Ace might have been transferred early? If I hadn't come, I couldn't have saved Ace, but even if I came, it seems like I can't save Ace either. What do we do? Uncle Buggy, what should we do now?"

Luffy circled around Buggy, shaking his head anxiously. After a while, he grabbed Mr. 3 and said, "3! You're resourceful. Come up with a solution. We can't let Ace be taken away!"

Mr. 3's mouth twitched, and he helplessly shook his head. "Straw hat boy, I have no choice but to see what Lord Buggy will do."

Everyone turned to look at Buggy, who was examining the terrain. Ignoring their confusion, Buggy nodded and said, "Right here."

Perplexed, Luffy and the others looked at Buggy, waiting for an explanation. Buggy then exclaimed, "Comprehensive decomposition!"

A moment later, a bright white circle of light appeared on Buggy's right hand. Buggy pressed his right hand onto the ground, causing a massive white light circle to form.

Boom!

Before Luffy and the others could react, the floor tiles within a 50-meter diameter beneath their feet shattered into countless small cubes, each about 5 centimetres in diameter.

"Ahhh!"

They screamed as they fell straight down, experiencing a sense of weightlessness. In just a dozen seconds, they went from Blazing Hell to Freezing Hell, landing in a vast expanse of white ice field.
