Chapter 7 - Chapter 8: The Clown, the Cannon, and the Chaos That Commands

> "Underestimating a fool is the greatest mistake a tactician can make.

Especially when the fool has plot armor and explosive charisma."

— The Blank One, just before a clown blew up his plans

Kuoh Academy – Courtyard

Students buzzed about, gossiping under cherry blossoms.

Our MC leaned against a vending machine, soda in hand, eyes closed. But his mind was elsewhere.

[Dimension Chat Group: New Member – Buggy D. Clown]

The vending machine sparked.

[Chat Log: Chaos Has Logged In]

Buggy:

> Where the hell am I?! Is this another trap?! I swear if this is Shanks again, I'm—

Kazuma:

> …That's Buggy? I thought we got a clown, not a nuclear accident.

Saitama:

> He talks a lot.

Esdeath:

> Can I test his immortality?

Deadpool:

> I like him already.

MC:

> You're here for a reason, Buggy. Whether you believe it or not, your chaos is exactly what we need.

Buggy:

> Damn right you do! I'm a Yonko! Wait… am I? Alt timeline, right? …Still counts!

[World Transfer: Grand Line – Dead Fleet Bay]

Thunder cracked overhead. The sea frothed like it was alive.

Across the harbor, twisted galleons howled. Ships that breathed. Fired cannons without crews. Devoured islands.

And riding one of them: Poseidron, a skeletal, barnacle-crusted warlord wielding essence-infused cannons forged from sunken Devil Fruits.

Buggy (screaming mid-air):

> THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! WHO THE HELL GIVES SHIPS TEETH?!

MC (calmly landing):

> You'll be fine. You're chaos incarnate.

Buggy:

> That's not strategy!!

MC:

> It is now.

[Battle Begins – Clown Style]

Buggy was thrown onto the enemy flagship by a gust of shadow wind. He landed face-first. The ship roared.

"WHO DARES BOARD ME?!" Poseidron bellowed.

Buggy (standing up):

> I'M BUGGY D. CLOWN! AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!

The ship froze.

Literally.

Buggy's chaotic aura clashed with the corrupted order Poseidron thrived on. Reality stuttered.

MC used Hollow Doctrine – Phase VIII: "Entropy Pulse"

It reversed the harmony link of the corrupted ships, making them unpredictable… and vulnerable.

Buggy (accidentally triggering all cannons at once):

> OOPS—

Dozens of ships exploded in a beautiful, fiery ballet.

Poseidron roared and charged.

Buggy, mid-panic, activated his Chat Group reward:

Item Used: "Rubber Duck Bomb – Buggy Edition"

It quacked.

Then detonated like a Buster Call.

Poseidron was vaporized.

Buggy (panting):

> That. Was. AWESOME.

MC:

> You did well.

Buggy:

> Wait… you planned this?

MC:

> No. I predicted it would happen.

Buggy:

> That's worse!

[Back in Kuoh – 3 Minutes Later]

MC returned to his vending machine.

No one noticed.

Except Akeno, who walked by sipping juice.

"You always seem… oddly refreshed," she said.

He smiled. "I find peace in the chaos."

She blinked. "That doesn't make sense."

Perfect.

[Chat Group – Side Banter]

Kazuma:

> How the hell is Buggy doing better than me?

Deadpool:

> Plot armor, baby.

Rimuru:

> …I'm worried he might be a god now.

Esdeath:

> If he becomes my king, I'm committing seppuku.

MC:

> Now, we turn toward calculated power. The master of surveillance.
