One Piece: Reincarnated as Buggy the Clown

---

"Haha, I misjudged you. I underestimated you. I failed." The king's face was filled with a smile, but his voice was hoarse. He knew they had lost. They were already fish in the other party's hands. There was no chance of turning things around.

Buggy looked at the king, waiting for his next words.

"I wonder how you plan to deal with us. Can you please let my son go? He wasn't involved in our affairs. If you release him, whatever you need me to do afterwards, I will cooperate fully."

The outcome was already decided. There was no need to waste words. The other party wouldn't let him go just because of a few words. The king just wanted to find a way out for his son in the end.

Buggy had a slight impression of the name Cezar. He was the later king of Illysia. He had attended the World Conference and reminded the World Government to be wary of Dragon's Revolutionary Army. Buggy didn't think for too long about the king's request. He had a decision.

"Your son wasn't involved in this matter. We won't do anything to him. We will let him go. As for the future, if he comes to trouble us, we will not show mercy."

Buggy wouldn't do anything to the king's son. He was a good young man in the new era. How could he harm an innocent person? Even if it would leave a future problem, that was a problem for later. When the time came, he wouldn't show mercy.

The king's eyes flashed with a light. His spirit seemed to recover somewhat. He stood up from his seat and bowed to Buggy and his group, expressing his gratitude.

"What do you want me to do? How should I end my life?"

The other party didn't immediately act. The king knew they must have a purpose. Otherwise, why would they waste so much time? They could just eliminate all of them. Wouldn't that end the matter?

"You, along with everyone present, will announce your crimes to the people of your kingdom and accept their judgment."

Killing everyone present directly would cause a lot of trouble. They would even bear the hatred of all the people of Illysia. And the matter of the human trafficking organization would be buried. The people of Illysia would never know the truth.

If the people knew the truth, they wouldn't be hated for what they did. Instead, their deeds might spread throughout the four seas.

If the people knew that it was the king and those present who did this, and if they were allowed to judge them personally, perhaps it could completely resolve their regret and anger. For the people, and for themselves, Buggy finally made this decision.

The king and many of those present instantly turned pale. Some even trembled.

They knew that if they dared to confess their crimes in front of the people and accept their judgment, the outcome might be worse than death. Facing the anger of so many people, they might be reduced to bones, or they might be living a life worse than death.

"Sir, please have mercy. Even if you kill us here directly, I have no complaints. If those civilians know about us, we really might be living a life worse than death."

Buggy had already anticipated this person's words. The anger of those civilians wasn't easy to appease. Their fate wouldn't be good.

Just then, many of those present unconsciously looked at the walls around them, as if they had made up their minds.

Buggy saw their expressions. He also knew what they were thinking. Seeing that they were about to act, Buggy said, "Don't think about committing suicide here. If you die, I can't guarantee the safety of your loved ones. If you accept the people's judgment, I can protect your loved ones who don't know the truth. I can ensure that they won't be blamed by the anger of those civilians. Of course, I also allow you to take poison before you die, so that you won't die in such pain."

Hearing Buggy say this, those who were about to act calmed down. They also knew that if they died here, the angry civilians would vent their anger on their loved ones. Even if their loved ones were innocent and weak, those civilians wouldn't hesitate to tear them to shreds.

If Buggy's guarantee was true, even if they died, their loved ones would be safe. This made them abandon their original thoughts.

"Really?" A middle-aged noble, hearing Buggy say this, showed a hint of hope on his face. His child was only a few years old. If he could save their lives, even if he died, he wouldn't be too regretful.

"I have no reason to lie to you. I will do as I say. I will never break my word. This is a promise from a man of the sea."

"Good. I agree." The middle-aged man confirmed Buggy's words. He was the first to express his attitude.

"I agree too."

"I agree too."

"I agree too."

...

They all had families. No one was willing to implicate their families because of their actions. If they could guarantee the safety of their families, they had to agree to Buggy's words.

"May we discuss this for a moment?" The king spoke. Their fate was already decided, but they still had to discuss how they would die. After all, they didn't want to die in pain.

"You may."

Then, everyone discussed how to die quickly before the angry mob, and finally, the king took out the royal secret medicine and distributed it to everyone present except Buggy and his group.

This medicine was a fast-acting poison. As long as you swallowed it, you would die almost immediately, without any pain.

Everyone decided that when the civilians attacked them, they would endure it for a while and then swallow the poison, directly ending their lives. They had to endure for a while because they couldn't make the civilians suspicious. This was the best outcome they could come up with after discussing it.

After the decision was made, the king had a noble present call the captain of the guards outside the palace. He instructed him to lead the soldiers to gather the people of the capital in the palace square tomorrow morning. He was going to announce a major decision.

After receiving the king's orders, the captain instructed the soldiers in his squad to spread the news to all parts of the city.

The soldiers quickly spread the news throughout the city. The civilians, knowing that the king was going to gather them, quickly packed up and headed towards the palace square.
