Chapter 9: Enter Buggy the Clown

«-------------------------------------------»

The boat neared a small island bustling with activity. Colorful banners and flags fluttered in the wind. The sound of laughter and shouting filled the air—a lively carnival atmosphere surrounded the harbor.

Luffy's eyes sparkled. "Look! A festival!"

Zoro scowled. "More like a circus."

They stepped off the boat and onto the crowded docks. People bustled about, many wearing bright costumes and clown makeup.

Ahead, a large tent towered over the town, painted with bold reds and blues. A sign above the entrance read: Buggy the Clown — Great Pirate Captain!

Zoro crossed his arms. "A pirate who calls himself a clown? This should be interesting."

Luffy grinned widely. "Let's go meet him!"

They entered the tent, where a large crowd gathered around a makeshift stage. A man with a round red nose, striped clothes, and wild blue hair stood center stage, juggling knives and telling jokes. His laughter was loud and infectious.

Suddenly, the man noticed the newcomers.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Fresh meat for Buggy's circus!" he exclaimed, grinning.

Luffy stepped forward boldly. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy! I want to be Pirate King!"

Buggy's eyes narrowed. "Pirate King, huh? You're either brave or stupid, kid. I like that."

Zoro drew his swords slightly, watching carefully.

Buggy laughed. "Let's see if you can back up that talk."

The crowd cheered as the tension built.

Farther in the shadows, a man observed quietly through a telescope, his expression unreadable.

Back in Arlen's Room

Arlen blinked, fingers poised over the keyboard.

Buggy's entrance is perfect! He's ridiculous but dangerous. Love it.

[Reader: SwordMaster89]

Zoro's silent watch is everything. Can't wait for their showdown.

[Reader: SeaBreeze]

The festival vibe is such a nice change of pace.

Arlen leaned back and smiled faintly.

He opened a fresh page.

The story was moving forward, slowly but surely.
