Chapter 1188 Kizaru's Future Journey 19 - Wild History Too Wild
Kizaru is an ancient man, so it is hard to imagine that Buggy the Clown, who relied on all kinds of luck, would make it step by step to the end and become the last opponent of the Navy and the last pirate before the end of the Dark Ages.
Harley Quinn and Gwen, people from the future who are familiar with the past, certainly would not agree with the ideas of the ancients. As the last enemy of the empire, it is difficult for them to imagine how powerful Buggy the Joker was in his heyday.
The planet is still the same planet, but it has undergone tremendous changes over the past few hundred years. Now there is only one country and one government.
All the member states that have existed in history have met the same fate in the face of the empire's powerful military force. The names of their countries have all been abolished and the islands have been given other names.
The fate of those nobles who had once joined the allied nations was only briefly mentioned in the official history of the empire. In the face of the great historical trend, no one could stop it.
Perhaps there are only some unofficial histories in street stalls and some writers who can compile some stories about the past member states, but these are all fairy tales.
For example, the princess fell in love with the sailor who was in charge of the ship, and finally eloped for love, regardless of the face of the king and the ally countries, abandoning her fiancé, creating a touching love story.
These unofficial histories are just for fun. There are so many unofficial histories about Buggy the Clown that they cannot be described as just a few opinions. They can be said to be the opinions of tens of thousands of people.
In the era in which Gwen lived, most mainstream views were of the Imperial Era. Even though the empire was a little corrupt now, any civilian on the street could tell him one or two things about its strength.
Therefore, it is difficult for people in the future to imagine that there was once such a pirate who could rely on his own strength to fight against the imperial fleet in its heyday.
The more the reactionaries were disgusted with the imperial rule, the more interested they were in Buggy the Clown, and in the end they even created a gang to commemorate this dead strong man.
The fact that the Empire allows an underground voice of opposition to exist actually proves how powerful the Empire is. It is easy for them to destroy the Joker Gang.
There is no special reason why the Joker Gang is allowed to exist. After careful evaluation, the Empire has found that the disadvantages of the Joker Gang not existing far outweigh the disadvantages of its existence.
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. In the deliberately forgotten underground world, the Empire needs the Joker Gang who can gather strength and support them as agents and watchdogs between the upper world and the lower world.
Harley Quinn's admiration for Buggy the Clown fills almost every cell in her body. When she talks about Buggy the Clown, her whole mental state becomes a little crazy.
Kizaru on the side was stunned. Even if Harley Quinn was acting in front of him, the play was so realistic that the admiral believed that Buggy's huge influence really existed.
Barry and Gwen really looked like they were used to it. Although the Joker Gang was difficult to deal with, as long as the topic was brought to Bucky, these gang members would become very crazy.
He will frantically recommend his own Chaos Saint, Buggy the Clown who has been dead for hundreds of years, to the initiator of the topic.
The more they are oppressed by the empire, the more they will admire Buggy the Clown, an ancient man who can compete with the strongest empire in the world. In addition, official history books also record battles in which Buggy won victories on behalf of the pirates.
Let an empire that rules the entire planet be described in great detail in history books, after many failed naval battles were won by Buggy the Clown, the empire admitted that the last pirate was a powerful opponent.
This history book is used to warn the world not to underestimate every life. Such a powerful empire almost capsized because of one person. Buggy left many positive and negative assets to the empire, which were all taken over by the empire.
Kizaru's head is a little swollen now, and he feels like he is being brainwashed by the gang leader. "Let's change to a lighter topic. I want to know the history of Buggy the Clown and how people are portraying him now."
Harley Quinn felt that she had successfully recommended the idea to this foreign islander, who was already interested in Lord Buggy. It was a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and tell him about it if it was interesting.
While trying to win the other party's favor, Harley Quinn took a fancy to the wretched uncle's skills. If she could trick him into joining the Joker Gang, it would be a huge profit for Harley Quinn.
The atmosphere became so harmonious that both sides naturally exchanged names to let the gang know the names of the three top leaders. The female leader was called Gwen, the male leader was called Barry, and the creepy uncle from the island was called Barron.
When Gwen heard Kizaru call out this name, she forced herself not to show too much expression, because she knew that Barron was also a pseudonym, and the creepy uncle never spoke the truth.
After Harley Quinn generously introduced her name, she began to tell the history of Buggy the Joker. Before becoming Harley Quinn, she had read many books about Bucky.
"History that is not officially recorded by the empire is called unofficial history by mainstream thought. Some of the unofficial history is reasonable speculation, while some is simply fabricated without any basis." Harley Quinn does not allow any unofficial history to belittle her idol.
For example, a certain type of unofficial history will focus on the origin of Buggy the Clown, saying that he is the posthumous son of a certain nobleman. In short, he will be given some prominent family background.
The official historians of the empire ultimately could not figure out who Buggy the Clown's father and ancestors were. The mainstream view was that he was born from the bottom of society, and relied on his own efforts to climb up step by step and finally achieved his legendary pirate career.
I also dislike a kind of unofficial history, which likes to match up Lord Buggy. You don't even need to open the book to see the title to know what it says, such as "Bucky's Ten Beauties", "The Last Woman Accompanying Buggy", "The Female Intrigue at Buggy's Bedside", etc.
If Buggy really had so many women, he would have been stuck in his arms long ago. Moreover, the official history of the empire objectively describes him as a realist who would not be bound by emotions.
True (Sigma man), women are just embellishments on his road to success. It’s not like the Empire hasn’t tried before, trying to use the beauty trap to deal with Buggy, but ended in failure.
"I remember reading a book of unofficial history that left a deep impression on me. It described how Buggy became close friends with a pirate, and said that it was under the influence of that pirate that he finally decided to follow the path of a pirate."
Looking at the disdainful expression of the gang leader, Kizaru suddenly had an answer in his mind, "Are you talking about Red-Haired Shanks?"
"So you've read that book too? It's probably another minor character that's not recorded in history, picked out separately to make a connection with Buggy. This is a common usage in unofficial history, to lower the status of Lord Buggy!" Harley Quinn stood up for her idol. She had never heard of Red-Haired Shanks, and wondered where he came from.
There are also some people who re-create the plot based on this, making up a gay plot between Buggy and Shanks. The fujoshi enjoy it, but who is selling the hook, Shanks or Buggy? This is hard for the Joker Gang to accept, so they catch these readers underground and kill them one by one.
Sometimes when Kizaru is speechless, he will want to laugh very much (?w?). He is relieved that Red Hair Shanks will have such a bad reputation in the future.
