Chapter 3: Luffy, Zoro, and Nami
"So, do you get it?" Luffy asked Zoro.
"Yeah...I get it..." Zoro muttered. A quick pause. "LIKE HELL I DO!" He yelled at him.
"What? I thought you said you got it?" He pouted.
"Who the hell would understand something like Haki by you just saying it's a mystery thing!?"
"What? I thought it was the best way to explain Haki."
"Like hell it is!"
"Alright, I'll explain better..." Luffy then sighed. "I guess the best way to describe haki is that it's a spiritual energy that can be used to overpower enemies. Kind of like your sixth sense."
"Huh? Okay...I get it..." Zoro muttered.
"No you don't."
"I SAID I DO!" He yelled as Luffy laughed.
"Shishishi! Anyway, there are three types of haki, two you already have, but you have to
train them in order to use them effectively."
"Oh...so I already have two haki abilities...what about the third?"
"The third type is said to be used by only a select few people in the world. I think the number was like one in every million." Luffy explained.
"So...I don't have it?" Zoro asked.
"Don't know...you might be able to use it, you just don't know it yet."
"Hmm...okay then, tell me about the two I do have."
"Sure!" So, Luffy began explaining to Zoro about the two hakis Zoro possesses. When he was done, Zoro was left smirking.
"That is some power...who would have thought that I could possess something like that." Luffy grinned. "Then that technique that made your arm dark was this haki?" Luffy nodded his head. "Then, what's this other ability do?"
"Oh, that lets me talk to Unagi, or at least that's what I think is the reason why I can talk to him and lets me defeat people without doing anything."
"What!? Seriously?" Zoro exclaimed in shock.
"Yep! Hey, I know!" Luffy pounded a fist into his open palm. "Try talking to Unagi and see if you possess the Haoshoku Haki!"
"Alright..." Zoro decided to go along with it. He looked at Unagi as the Sea King turned his head to look at Zoro. "Yo...Unagi...how's it going?"
'I'm fine.' Unagi responded. Zoro didn't react and only stared at Unagi.
"He said he was fine." Luffy told Zoro.
"Ah...he said something?" Luffy nodded. "Damn...I couldn't hear him."
"Shishishishi, I wouldn't worry. The guy who taught me haki said that you can't train Haoshoku Haki, but to just keep getting stronger and hope to be able to learn it."
"I see..." Zoro sighed and closed his eyes to yawn. "So, what this thing about a this bird you were talking about?"
"Oh...this bird is going to lead me to our navigator!" Luffy grinned.
"Huh? How the heck does a bird do that?" Zoro raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Caw!" The two looked up to see a large bird flying above them.
"Ah, here it is!" Luffy stood up.
"I still don't get it..." Zoro said.
"Shishishishi, you'll see..." Luffy pulled his arms back. "Gomu Gomu no..." He grabbed Unagi and the launched himself up. "...Rocket!"
"Huh?" Zoro asked as he watched. He waited to see what was going to happen, but all he saw was Luffy and the bird and nothing was happening.
"Shishishi! I'm stuck in its beak." Both Zoro and Unagi had their jaws dropped to the floor. "Yahoo! This is so much fun!"
"You idiot!" Zoro shouted as the two watched Luffy fly away from them. "Quick Unagi, after him!"
'Right!' Unagi nodded and swam as fast as he could after the bird.
"Damn that woman..." One of Buggy's pirates cursed as he and his two fellow pirates were floating on the water.
"I can't believe we were tricked!"
"How are we going to explain this to the boss?"
"We won't say anything, you got that!?"
"But..."
"Hey look! I think I see a ship coming this way!"
"Really? Hey we need your...AHHH IT'S A SEA KING!"
"NANI!?"
"AAAAAHHHH!" The three pirates scream as they were run over by Unagi.
"Huh? Did I hear something just now?" Zoro wondered. "Oh well, come on Unagi, we can't lose Luffy!"
'Right!'
"Get back here!" A pirate screamed as he and two other pirates chased after an orange haired woman.
'I finally got it! The map of the Grand Line! With this, I can finally get enough money!' Nami thought as she ran, a smile gracing her lips.
"Come back, you cat burglar!" She heard the other pirate yell, but there was no way she was stopping. She had to get away from those three goons, but how? Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred above them and she stopped to see what happened.
"What the?" She asked as she then heard screaming before something hit the ground hard in front of her and the other pirates. "Kyaaah!" She screamed as she fell down on the ground.
"W-What happened?" A pirate asked as the dust cloud started to disperse.
"Shishishishi! That was fun!" Nami's eyes widened as she recognized the voice and looked up to see Luffy standing there with his big stupid grin on his face.
'L-Luffy! What the hell is he doing here?' Nami wondered. 'Wait, this might just be my chance to get away!' She quickly stood up and ran over to him and clasped her hands together. "Ah boss! I'm so glad you're here to rescue me! I'll let you handle those three, okay!"
"Hm?" Luffy hummed as he watched Nami run away. "Oh right..." he then turned around to face the three pirates. "Yo! I'm going to kick your ass now!"
"What the hell did you just say, brat?" The pirate yelled and raised his sword. Luffy dodged it easily and then punched him in the stomach.
"Why you!?" The other went for the attack, but was defeated easily with a single punch.
"Bastard!" The last remaining pirate tried doing the same, but met with the same result as all three pirates were knocked out on the floor.
"That was easy..." Luffy grinned as he put a hand to his hat.
"You're really something, aren't you?" Luffy turned his head to see Nami on the balcony of one of the buildings. He grinned and chuckled.
"Shishishi! It's good to see you again, Nami!" He told her.
"Well, I didn't think I would be seeing you again after you kidnapped me." She said, while narrowing her eyes at him.
"I didn't kidnap you..." He told her. "...join my crew!"
"Like hell I will!" She yelled at him and then jumped down from the balcony.
"Aww, come one! It'll be fun!" Luffy pouted.
"I won't become something I hate the most in the world, you got that! Not after what pirates did to someone I loved..." She frowned and narrowed her eyes. Luffy just stared at her.
"Is that a yes?"
"It's a no!" Suddenly, the ground shook and both Nami and Luffy had to keep themselves from falling down to the ground. "W-What was that?"
"Ahhhhh!"
"Hmm?" Luffy looked up and watched as a boat was heading toward the two, with a familiar person on board. "hey look! It's Zoro!" Luffy grinned.
"W-Why is he flying!?" Nami screamed as the boat crashed into the building that Nami was sitting on before.
"Damn it..." Zoro muttered as he got out of the now destroyed house. "What the hell was that for!?"
"H-How are you still alive!?" Nami screamed.
"Huh? Oh Luffy and...who are you?" Zoro asked tilting his head at the unfamiliar person.
"Don't avoid my question!"
"Shishishishi! Zoro, what happened?" Luffy laughed.
"Huh? That stupid pet of yours launched me into town!" He answered.
"Really? Shishishishi! That's awesome!"
"Like hell it is!"
'Just...who are these guys?' Nami wondered as she looked at the two arguing.
"You know what...forget it..." Zoro sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He then looked over at Nami. "So, who is that?" He pointed at her.
"Oh, that's Nami! Our navigator!"
"I said I wasn't joining your crew!" She screamed at him.
"Oh? So, this is that navigator you were talking about?" Zoro said and walked over to her. He leaned forward a bit and rubbed his chin as if he was inspecting her.
"W-What?" She asked, feeling uncomfortable.
"Hey Luffy? Is she also the one who..." He was stopped from saying anything else as Luffy put his hand over Zoro's mouth and pulled him toward him and put his arm over his shoulder. "Oi, what the hell...?"
"Shhh...don't tell her anything..." Zoro furrowed his eyebrows. Nami only blinked in confusion as the two whispered to each other.
"Why not?" He whispered.
"She is the same person, but right now she shouldn't know about me at all...at least not until we reach her home island..." He responded. Zoro looked at him before sighing.
"Alright..." Zoro responded and removed Luffy's arm off of him. "So...now that we have a navigator, what do we do now?"
"I said I'm not joining you!"
"Our ship is destroyed so we have to find a new one." He continued as if he ignored her.
"Don't ignore me!"
"Shishishishi! I'm sure we'll find another ship somewhere in this town."
"Yeah, your probably right."
"Don't ignore me, damn it!" Nami yelled.
"Oh, shishishishi, sorry." Luffy apologized.
"Geez, you guys are idiots, what were you whispering about anyway?" Nami asked curiously.
"We were discussing whether you were a good navigator for our crew." Zoro responded sternly as Luffy nodded his head in agreement, mentally thanking Zoro for coming up with a good lie.
"Of course! You'll never find a better navigator than me! That still doesn't mean I'm joining your crew." She said before they got any ideas.
"Come on! It'll be fun!" Luffy told her. "We can go on so many adventures!"
"Listen! I said I'm not joining so I'm not! Besides, I have my own goal to pursue and being a pirate isn't it!" She told them. "I need to collect 100 million berries and once I do, my dream will finally come true." She whispered, looking down at the ground.
"100 million berries? What do you want to do with all that money?" Zoro asked.
"None of your business!" She replied, making Zoro scowl.
"If I had 100 million berries then I would buy lots and lots of meat." Luffy drooled at the thought.
"I would buy swords...and booze..." Zoro added, smirking.
"No one asked you!" Nami yelled. Nami felt a headache coming and being around these two was not going to help it at all. However, she could use them and steal more money from Buggy and his crew. She smirked at an idea she just came up with. "Tell you what..." The two looked at her. "...I'll join your crew..."
"Really!?" Luffy exclaimed in excitement as Zoro eyed her suspiciously.
"Yep...but...only if you do me a little favor..." She smirked and gave them a wink.
"Huh? What do you mean you still haven't caught her?"
"W-Well...we're still searching for her..."
"Can someone please explain to me...HOW COULD THE MAP OF THE GRAND LINE GET STOLEN SO EASILY?"
"Ah...well..."
"Tch, and we were about to go to the Grand Line...then go in and wreak havoc..."
"W-Well...you see C-Captain...the key to where the map was still in the lock and the idiot who did it left it on the..."
"W-What? What was that?"
"I said that the key was till in the lock and the idiot who did it left it on the..."
"WHO HAS A ROUND NOSE!? DOES MY NOS ELOOK FUNNY TO YOU? LIKE A ROUND NOSE...?"
"W-What? But I never said anything about that...you misunderstood..."
"WHAT!? A BIG AND RED ROUND NOSE!?"
"EEEEEHHH!?"
"DIE A PAINFUL AND FLASHY DEATH!
"W-Wait Captain! I never said..."
"Who am I?"
"Gah! C-Captain Buggy...c-can't breath..."
"Oh man...it has appeared..."
"Captain Buggy's devil fruit power..."
"Prepare the Cannon!" Buggy ordered as he sat on his chair, cheek leaned against his fist that rested on the armchair.
"I-I didn't do anything wrong...help me..." The pirate that was hovering above the ground gasped as he pleaded.
"Blow him to smithereens!" Buggy ordered and two pirate slit the fuse.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" The pirate screamed as the cannon fired and exploded with a powerful force. Buggy stood up from his seat and started to walk away.
"Get that map back and steal all the treasure this village has to offer." He ordered his crew.
"Right away, Captain Buggy!"
"So, where are we going?" Zoro asked as he and Luffy walked in front of Nami.
"Just keep walking straight." She told him. Zoro scowled and looked over at Nami, who smiled back innocently.
"Oi, that girl is up to something..." Zoro whispered to Luffy.
"Really?" Luffy asked, tilting his head.
"Don't act dumb...you know what she's planning, don't you?"
"Nope."
"Seriously?"
"Well, I do, but last I remembered, you didn't show this early, so who knows what she's planning." He grinned. Zoro sighed.
"Hey...those are some nice looking swords..." Zoro opened his eyes and looked down to see Nami touching his katanas. He quickly backed away and glared at her.
"Oi, don't touch my swords!" He yelled. "You're up to something and I want to know what it is!"
"What? I don't know what you're talking about..." She said with a sweet voice and tilted her head slightly.
"Don't give me that crap!"
"Ne, let me see your swords?" She asked.
"I said no!"
"Here you go!" Luffy suddenly tossed Zoro's swords in front of Nami's feet. Zoro blinked in surprise as he looked back and forth between his swords and where he thought he had them.
"Don't give her my swords!" He yelled at his Captain.
"Shishishishi! But she wanted to look at them." He explained.
"That's no reason to give her my swords!" He responded. Nami smirked as she quickly ran at them, took out some rope and tied them up. "What the...?"
"Got you!" She smirked at the two.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Zoro growled as he glared at her.
"Nothing...except getting my money..." She stuck her tongue out.
"You...oi, do something!" Zoro yelled at Luffy.
"Shishishishi! This is fun!" Zoro's jaw dropped at his reaction.
"Now then...let's get me my money."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST TRACK OF THE MAP THIEF!?" Buggy screamed at the three pirates that Luffy beat up.
"We're really sorry, Captain Buggy!" They apologized while on their knees. "B-But there was this really strong guy and he was her boss..."
"I DON'T CARE! DIE A PAINFUL DEATH!" Buggy responded as the pirates screamed in fear.
"Captain Buggy!" A short pirate yelled as he ran over to Buggy.
"Hm? What is it?"
"The map thief came back to bring back the map she stole."
"Huh? Oh, then let her in...WAIT! What do you mean she came to return the map?" Buggy shouted.
"I don't know...she just came...oh and she brought two others with her..."
"Two others...bring her here at once!"
"Hai, Captain Buggy!"
Nami entered the roof shortly after wards, kicking both Zoro and Luffy to the floor. "Captain Buggy! I brought the real thief and the map of the Grand Line to you!" She told Buggy. Zoro turned his head to glare at her, while Luffy just smiled idiotically.
"I see...but why are you giving the map back so easily...is this some sort of trick?" Buggy asked as he narrowed his eyes at Nami suspiciously.
"What? No way..." Nami waved her hand back and forth to deny his statement.
"My ass..." Zoro growled, before he gritted his teeth in pain as Nami kicked.
"...you see I got into a fight with my boss and his stupid lackey and I couldn't handle their stupidity much longer, so I thought I would join you guys." Nami explained.
"What did you call me!?" Zoro yelled at her as Luffy laughed.
"She called you stupid."
"That was to you also!"
"Hahahaha! These two are real idiots! I see why you decided to betray them! Of course we'll let you join our crew!" Buggy told her.
"C-Captain Buggy...that...that looks like Pirate Hunter Zoro..." One of his lackeys told him a she pointed a shaky green haired man.
"Huh? Is that so?" Buggy said as he walked toward him.
'Zoro? I knew he looked familiar...' Nami thought as she felt a drop of sweat roll down her temple, feeling a bit uneasy.
"I see...this is an incredible catch, Nami! Who would have thought the infamous Pirate Hunter Zoro get captured by a woman! How does that feel, Zoro?" Zoro looked at him.
"Normally, I would have been pissed off to no end...but...it's this idiot's faults!" Zoro yelled, kicking Luffy.
"Ow! That hurt Zoro!" Luffy pouted.
"Good!"
"Enough of this!" Buggy yelled. "Men! Take these two and locked them up in the cages! We have to welcome our new crew member with a flashy party!"
"Aye!"
"So...how exactly do you plan on getting us out of this one?" Zoro asked as he sat in one cage and Luffy in the other beside him.
"Don't know...but everything usually works out in the end..." He grinned. "By the way, I want that meat." He drooled at the pieces of meat at the table.
"I don't care!"
"Ah! So, Nami, allow me to officially welcome you to the Buggy Pirates!" Buggy exclaimed as he raised his mug in the air.
"Glad to be aboard!" She faked a smile and raised her mug, not as high as Buggy, but as far as she could raise it.
"But...in order for us to completely welcome you to our crew...you will have to do something to prove your loyalty." Buggy told her, making her feel slightly uneasy.
"H-Huh?"
"Men! Prepare the Buggy Ball!" Buggy stood up and exclaimed as his crew all cheered.
"B-Buggy Ball?" Nami asked as she watched a couple of pirates prepare a cannon and another bringing out a red ball with the Buggy Pirate's Jolly Roger on it. 'Oi...'
"Now then..." He turned his head to Luffy and Zoro. "...allow me to show you exactly what you two will experience..." He smirked and then turned back to the cannon. "Fire the Buggy Ball!" He ordered as one of the pirates lit the fuse. A few seconds later, the cannon fired and a large explosion occurred that caused a long line of houses to explode. Nami stared wide eyed at the destruction. Luffy and Zoro just simply stared. "Hahahaha! Now this is what I call power! We will cause havoc in the Grand Line with the Buggy Ball!" Buggy laughed and then turned to Luffy and Zoro. "Now then, prepare another Buggy Ball and aim the cannon at those two fools."
"Hey! Why don't we just go back to the party?" Nami tried to change Buggy's mind, but it wasn't working.
"Huh? No way! Those two deserve to die for trying to steal something from me, the great Captain Buggy!" He told her. "In fact, the perfect way to know your loyalty for me is to have you kill your boss and Roronoa Zoro!" Nami's eyes widened in horror as she gasped.
"Oi..." Zoro whispered to Luffy.
"It's going to be fine..." Luffy whispered back. Zoro eyed him for a second before going back to look at the scene in front of him.
"Now then, light the fuse, Nami!" Buggy told her as she was handed the matches and was pushed forward toward the cannon that was now placed in front of Zoro and Luffy.
'No...there is no way I can do this...there is no way...' Nami thought as she became nervous and uneasy. Her hands started to shake, which was not left unnoticed by Luffy and Zoro.
"You should have been prepared when you knew you were going up against pirates..." Luffy suddenly said as Nami looked at him.
"Huh? P-Prepared for what...killing innocent people...is that what you mean?" She asked.
"No!" Luffy slightly raised his voice.
"T-Then what?"
"Prepared to risk your own life!" Luffy told her and she was surprised by his answer. Nami bit her bottom lip as the roaring screams of the Buggy Pirates was heard behind her.
"Come on, Nami! Do it!"
"Do it!"
"Fire the Buggy Ball already!"
'Damn it...' Nami cursed mentally. 'What do I do? I don't...I don't want to kill anyone...'
"Do it, Nami! Otherwise, we'll make you join them!" Buggy told her.
'Damn it...'
"That's enough." Luffy said and activated his haki. Nami's eyes widened before she felt herself go black and fall unconsciously to the floor. Most of the Buggy Pirates fell to the floor too as Buggy felt a shiver run down his spine.
'W-What the hell is this...this couldn't be...?' Buggy's eyes widened.
"There we go." Luffy grinned. "Alright then, let's get out of these cages, Zo-"
"Idiot! Next time warn a guy!" Zoro yelled at him.
"Huh? Why? You didn't go down." Luffy tilted his head in confusion.
"No! But I felt this creepy feeling go down my spine!" He yelled again. He sighed and then looked over at Nami. "Can't you control that power so that you don't knock out your comrades or something?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah...but this way, Nami wouldn't be considered a traitor in front of Buggy." He told him.
"I see...well...i guess we should break out of these cages now." Zoro said and Luffy grinned.
"Ah!" Luffy clenched his fists and used his strength to rip apart the ropes. Once free, he raised his hand and punched the cage, breaking it open. He then looked over at Zoro's cage and broke it as well.
"Thanks." Zoro thanked his captain and then let him untie him. "If I had at least one of my swords, I might of broken free." He replied as Luffy nodded his head.
"Now just wait a minute here." Both men looked across the roof to Buggy and saw him glaring at them. "You...with the familiar Straw Hat...that power you just used...that was haki...wasn't it?" Luffy made a noise in surprise, but other than that, just stared at him. Buggy took his silence and reaction as a yes. "I see...so...you possess that power...just like that despicable red haired man...how I hate that man with a passion..." Buggy continued to babble about his hate for Shanks and this gave Luffy time to walk over to Nami, pick her up by placing his hands behind her knees and back. He walked back to Zoro.
"Zoro...we should run..." He grinned while nudging his head toward Buggy. Zoro raised his eyebrow and turned his before smirking.
"As you command...Captain..." Zoro walked forward. Luffy laughed as he started walking in the other direction. He heard the sound of the cannon being lifted and dropped to face the direction of Buggy and his crew. Luffy jumped down from the house and shortly after Zoro joined him as a loud explosion occurred above them. Luffy and Zoro looked at each other and grinned. They then broke into a run, Luffy making sure Zoro didn't get lost.
"Oh by the way, where are your swords?"
"Huh!?"
"Damn those three! How dare they interrupt me when I was talking!?" Buggy yelled as he appeared out of the rubble. "When I get my hands on them, I'm going to..."
"Captain Buggy..."
"Hmmm?" Buggy turned his head to look at his first mate.
"You shouldn't get your hands dirty with those three...let me and Ritchie handle them." He smirked.
"Very well then! Don't disappoint me or you will die a painful and flashy death!" He responded back, making Mohji smirk.
"Of course!"
"Mmm..." Nami moaned as she slowly began opening her eyes. 'Huh? Where am I?' She wondered as she looked around.
"Oh, look Zoro! She's waking up!" She heard the familiar voice of Monkey D. Luffy. When memories of the events that transpired before she lost consciousness, she sat up abruptly and the first thing she saw was a really close look of Luffy's face. Nami blushed slightly and then suddenly slapped him. "Ite!" He cried in pain as he was sent to the ground. "What was that for!?" Luffy yelled at her.
"B-Baka! Don't get so close to me like that!" She yelled back, feeling her face get a little hot.
"That's why you hit me!" Luffy yelled.
"Of course!" She screamed before sighing to calm herself down. When she became calm, she opened her eyes. "Alright, what the hell happened? Last thing I remember was Buggy and his crew yelling at me to fire the cannon at you two and then...I don't remember..." She then slightly shivered.
"Oh, that's because I used my haki to knock you and the most of his crew out. You shivered just now because of my haki." Luffy explained, grinning.
"Haki? That spiritual stuff you were talking about before?" She asked and he nodded.
"Hey! Before we continue this conversation...where the hell did you put my swords, woman?" Zoro yelled, changing the subject.
"Your swords? Oh...I left them in one of the houses." She said without a care in the world.
"You did what!?" Zoro yelled at her in shock and disbelief.
"What? I thought you guys would be dead so there wasn't going to be any need for your swords." Zoro felt veins pop in his forehead as he got angrier and angrier with the orange haired woman.
"You..." Zoro growled. "Damn it!" He screamed before running off to find his swords.
"Ah! Don't get lost, Zoro!" Luffy grinned, waving goodbye to his green haired friend.
"Shut up!" Luffy laughed harder at the response as he sat cross legged.
"So, now what?" Nami asked.
"Hmmm...oh I know!" Luffy quickly got up. "Let's go see this cool dog!" He told her and then suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her in some random direction.
"Hey! Hold on a minute!" Nami screamed as she was pulled along. She looked at the hand on hers and questioned the strange warm feeling she was having in her chest and hand. 'His hand...it feels...warm...why?'
Nami wasn't sure how long it took them, but eventually Luffy found this dog he was talking about and let go of her hand as he ran toward the dog like a child. She frowned at the loss of warmth on her hand. She touched the hand with the other and questioned herself on why she was feeling this way. "Ow!" Nami quickly looked up and sweat dropped as she saw Luffy get bitten by the dog. He was now trying to pry him off of his face.
'This idiot...' Nami mentally thought as she walked over to him. By the time she got there, Luffy managed to remove the dog off of him. At the same time, she heard someone yell at them.
"Hey! Get away from Chouchou, you pirate scum!" The old man rushed over to them, waving his cane back and forth.
"Eh? No! You got it all wrong! We're not pirates!" Nami told him.
"Huh? You're not?" He asked.
"Well...at least I'm not..." She said while narrowing her eyes at Luffy, who just had his stupid grin on his face.
"Then, why are you two bothering Chouchou?" He asked.
"Chouchou? Oh you mean the dog...we weren't doing anything to him, honest." Nami told him to truth.
"Yeah...all I did was talk to him and then he bot me in the face, shishishishi." Both Nami and the old man sweat dropped at Luffy.
"I see..." He said before walking over to Chouchou and petting him on the head. He walked inside the pet store that the dog was guarding. A short while later, he came back with a bowl of dog food and placed it in front of Chouchou, who started eating. "So...who are you two?" He asked Nami and Luffy.
"I'm Nami...let's just say I got caught in a little mishap with Buggy and his crew." She smiled, chuckling a bit at the end.
"I'm Luffy." He said with a wide grin.
"I see...so you two are also trying to get away from Buggy." He sighed and then took out a pipe.
"Yeah...by the way, why are you here? I thought all the townsfolk left to hide from Buggy." Nami said.
"Ah. However, I couldn't leave Chouchou here to starve." He replied and then looked down at the eating dog. "Poor thing...he decided to stay behind so that he could protect this building..."
"The pet store?" Nami asked.
"Yep...this pet store used to be owned by a close friend of mine...and Chouchou's owner..." He told her.
"Used to?"
"Yeah...he unfortunately passed away...but Chouchou here still guards the pet store as if the owner was going to return."
"But that's...are you sure Chouchou knows that his owner is..."
"To be honest, I think he does...but he still refuses to leave...I guess...in a way, Chouchou is guarding the only thing he has left of his owner; guarding his treasure." Nami frowned at the story and looked down at Chouchou who ate his food and started to return the bowl back to the mayor. Luffy stayed silent as he watched Chouchou return to his spot.
Then suddenly, a loud roar was heard and the mayor stood up abruptly, his eyes widening in shock. "Huh? W-What was that?"
"Oh no...it's Mohji...the lion tamer!" The mayor stuttered.
"W-Who is that?" Nami asked.
"Quick! We got to get out of here!" The mayor told her and started to run away.
"Hey! Hold on a minute!" Nami yelled after him as she ran too. Luffy stayed as he looked down at Chouchou.
"You probably don't know this...but...I too have a treasure...something I value most in the world..." Luffy said as Chouchou looked at him. 'Don't worry..." Luffy grinned and stood up. "I won't let anyone hurt your treasure."
"Finally found you!" Luffy turned around to meet face to face with a large lion. He looked up to see a man siting on the lion, smirking at him. "So here you were...Straw Hat."
"Shishishishi! Your costume looks weird." Mohji became irritated.
"This isn't a costume! This is my natural hair!" He defended his weird hair.
"Hahahaha! That makes it even weirder and funnier."
"You..." Mohji growled in anger. "Get him Ritchie!"
"Wraaaaaahhhhhh!" The lion roared as he raised his paw to swipe it at Luffy. Luffy looked the lion dead in the eyes and glared. Ritchie's eyes widened in horror as he shook in fear. He slowly lowered his paw and lowered himself down to the ground.
"Huh? Ritchie! W-What are you doing?" Mohji yelled in confusion.
"Good boy." Luffy grinned and then looked at Mohji.
"You...what did you do?" He yelled, making Luffy smirk.
"Nothing." He responded before jumping and then landed a powerful punch that knocked the first mate of the Buggy crew into a house, knocking him unconscious. Ritchie looked at what happened with wide eyes as he looked back at Luffy, his entire body shaking.
"Shishishi! That was easy." He then turned to the lion. "Oi, if you harm this pet store or this dog...I will cook you up and eat you, understand?" Ritchie yelped in fear as he shook his head rapidly. "Shishishi! Good! You can go back to that weird hairy friend of yours." Ritchie didn't need a second to do just that a she quickly ran to Mohji, picked him up with his teeth and scurried away back to Buggy. Luffy grinned and turned around to face Chouchou. "There you go! They won't bother you or your treasure." Chouchou let out a bark and Luffy responded with a nod. "No problem! Now then...where did Nami and that old guy go?" He started walking in the direction he remembered they ran off to. He eventually reunited with them. "Oi!"
"Luffy! Hey! Why are you still alive?" Nami asked in shock.
"That lion should have eaten you whole!" The mayor added, in shock as well.
"Oh come on! I'm stronger than some lion." He pouted.
"You're not normal." Nami narrowed her eyes at him. Although, she was glad that Luffy was still alive, she didn't know why she felt like that though.
"By the way, what's taking Zoro so long?" Luffy wondered.
"That woman...where the hell did she put my swords?" Zoro yelled as he opened the door to another house and looked around, but no luck. "I'm going to kill that witch!" He yelled again and searched the next house.
"Mohji! What the hell happened to you?" Buggy yelled as he saw an unconscious Mohji on the floor; leg twitching. Ritchie on the other hand looked like he saw a ghost and was shaking like crazy near the edge of the roof. "Damn it!" Buggy growled getting pissed off. He then turned to his crew. "Alright men! Prepare another Buggy Ball! This time...we are going to destroy this town!"
"Aye Captain!"
"Oh well...doesn't matter...he'll eventually show up where we're going?" Luffy laughed.
"Oh and where would that be?" Nami asked.
"To go kick Buggy's ass, of course!" He replied showing no fear whatsoever.
"Are you crazy!?" Nami yelled.
"Maybe."
"Why in the world would you go back there!? They are after us!" Nami told him.
"So...I wanna kick his ass." Luffy responded.
"You got to be kidding me...pirates are so stupid!" She pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Well, if you don't want to come, you don't have to." He told her.
"Of course I won't."
"Then I guess all that treasure he has is mine to keep." He grinned and started to turn around, but was stopped when Nami placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Now hold on a second...I changed my mind, I'm going." She answered and he laughed.
"Shishishi!" He couldn't help but laugh. She was the same old Nami that he remembered.
"Fire!" A loud explosion was heard as the three turned around and watched as several buildings were destroyed by the Buggy Ball. The mayor was the most horrified at what he saw. His town was being destroyed by Buggy and his crew and here he was doing nothing to stop it. He became angry with himself as he saw the destruction that the pirates caused to the town he and the other villagers built with their own two hands.
"That's enough...I had enough...Buggy! You're going to pay!" The mayor roared as Nami and Luffy looked at him, the latter grinning. When he started to rush off, Nami quickly ran in front of him.
"Now hold on! Don't do anything rash!" Nami told him.
"Get out of my, young lady! I have to protect this town!" The mayor told her a she tried getting past, but she put her arms around him.
"But it's reckless! You could die!" She tried to persuade him, but he didn't care.
"I know it's reckless!" He yelled as Nami's eyes widened, seeing tears in his eyes. She let go and once she did, he ran off in the direction where Buggy and his crew were. "You just wait! Buggy the Clown!"
"He was crying..." Nami muttered.
"Really? I didn't see anything." Luffy grinned as he turned toward the destroyed houses. "Hmm, I wonder if Zoro was in one of those houses?"
"What? Don't be ridiculous. With the direction he ran, he's probably on the other side of town." Nami responded.
"Ow...what the hell was that?" The two turned their heads and Nami's jaw dropped as she saw Zoro come out of the debris with a hand to his head. "Oh well, at least I got my swords back..." He continued, looking at his swords.
"Zoro!" He lifted his head and looked up to see Luffy grinning stupidly and waving his arms back and forth, while Nami just stood next to him in shock.
"Huh? Did you guys follow me or something?" He asked.
"Of course not! How the heck does a person run in the opposite direction and then suddenly appear back to the same area that he left?" Nami yelled.
"Oh yeah! I have a bone to pick with you!" Zoro responded. "You know how long it took me to find my swords?"
"I don't care!" Luffy laughed as he was reunited with the two original members of his crew. "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing..." Luffy responded. "So, since we both have to go the same way, why don't you join my crew? It'll be a lot of fun!" He told Nami raising his hand.
"I told you I'm not joining any pirate crew!" She responded. She then smacked his hand. "However, since we are both striving for the same goal, I guess partnering up with you two would benefit me." Luffy grinned and then turned to Zoro.
"Oi, Zoro! Ready to go kick some ass?" At this, Zoro smirked.
"Of course, who do I get to slice?"
"Shishishi! Yosh, let's go!" Luffy raised his fist in the air and started to walk in the same direction the mayor went. Zoro stood up and followed his Captain as Nami looked at them in shock. She then remembered her treasure and ran after them.
"Wait for me!"
"Gah!" The Mayor cringed in pain as Buggy was using his devil fruit to grab the Mayor around his neck.
"You fool! Did you really think you stood a chance against me?" Buggy glared as the Mayor was lifted off the ground.
"Damn...you..." The Mayor managed to growl out as he glared back at Buggy. Buggy smirked, but then felt pain in the hand he was using to hold onto the mayor.
"Ahhh! What the hell?" Buggy screamed as he held his forearm that was missing a hand. He looked down and saw who the culprit was. "Straw Hat!" He yelled as Luffy grinned as he held the Mayor in one hand and clenched Buggy's hand in the other.
"Yo!" Luffy chuckled as he dropped the Mayor to the ground and then let go of Buggy's hand. His hand flew back toward it's owner.
"You bastard! How dare you come back to defile me? I will make you all regret it!" Buggy yelled as Zoro, Nami and Luffy looked up at him.
"By the way, why are you even here?" Zoro asked, looking at Nami.
"Why else? To get my treasure. So, don't get in my way!" She told him.
"That's what I should be telling you!" Zoro yelled at her.
"What the hell are you kids doing here? I told you this is my fight..." The Mayor told them as he stood up.
"Yeah...I know..." Luffy turned to look at him.
"So then...wh-" He didn't get to finish as Luffy hit him over the head and knocked him out.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Nami yelled at Luffy.
"I hit him."
"I could see that! But why?"
"Good idea." Zoro added as he took his bandanna and wrapped it around his forehead.
"Huh?"
"It's best if he stayed out of the way, otherwise he'll get himself killed." He explained, pulling out his swords.
"W-What? Is that true?" Nami asked Luffy. He laughed and nodded his head. "I see..." She then hit Luffy. "You didn't have to hit him!"
"Ite...that hurt!"
"How dare they ignore me...men prepare to fire the Buggy Ball!" Buggy ordered.
"Yes, Captain!" His crew all aimed the cannon at Luffy and the others.
"Oh no! It's that Buggy Ball again!" Nami screamed.
"FIRE!" Buggy yelled and as he did, the cannon fired. Nami screamed and Zoro was yelling at Luffy to get out of the way, but he had different plans. With a wide grin, Luffy jumped and sucked in air. "Gomu Gomu no...Fuusen!" Luffy blew up like a balloon and when the cannonball made contact, it pressed into his rubber body. Luffy took his arms and used them as a scope and targeted Buggy and his crew. He then fired back and Buggy and his crew all screamed in both shock and fear as the Buggy Ball was heading right back at them. Then, a huge explosion occurred that caused the building they were standing on to collapse.
"W-What the...?" Nami was shocked to see what just happened as Luffy returned to normal and laughed.
"Damn it...warn me next time, idiot." Zoro grumbled as he sighed.
"What the hell was that?" Nami screamed, demanding an answer.
"Oh that was the Gomu Gomu no Fuusen." Luffy answered.
"I don't care about the name! I want to know what the hell are you?" She screamed again.
"Oh...I'm a rubber man!" He told her and he pulled his cheeks. Nami cringed when he did that.
"So...you ate a devil fruit..." They turned around and saw as Buggy lift himself up, members of his crew in his hands that he used to block the impact from the Buggy Ball.
"Using his own crew as a shield..." Nami scowled in disgust.
"It seems we have to deal with them, Captain Buggy." Cabaji told him as he got up as well, but used Ritchie as a shield. "Allow me to deal with them." Cabaji told him.
"All right then, go Cabaji!"
"As you wish, Captain!" Cabaji drew out a sword from his mouth and took out a unicycle from who knows where and started to ride the unicycle toward Luffy and the others. When he was about to strike Luffy, Zoro stepped in and blocked the sword attack that Cabaji tried to attack Luffy with.
"Sorry, Captain...but this one is mine." Zoro told Luffy.
"Right!" Luffy nodded and walked over to the side lines, with his hands behind his head.
"O-Oi..." Nami followed.
"Roronoa Zoro...I've always wanted to fight the famous Pirate Hunter." Cabaji told him.
"Yeah...well...I can't say the same for someone who I never heard of..." Zoro smirked.
"You bastard!" Cabaji growled as Zoro's words pissed him off. He then smirked. "Breath of fire!" Zoro's eyes widened as Cabaji suddenly blew out fire from his mouth. Zoro turned his head to the side so that he didn't get his face burned and jumped back.
"You bastard..." Zoro growled as he placed his third sword into his mouth.
"So, this is the famous Three Sword Style I heard so much about." Cabaji grinned. He then rode on his unicycle toward him.
'I'll finish this before he uses some other stupid trick of his.' Zoro closed his eyes and got into position.
"Take this, Roronoa Zoro!" Cabaji jumped from his unicycle to stab Zoro with his blades.
"Santoryu...Onigiri!" Zoro attacked and connected as a spurt of blood erupted out from the wound on Cabaji's chest. "Hmph...that wasn't much of a challenge..."
"Cabaji..." Buggy growled as he saw Cabaji lose quickly.
"You got to be kidding...one blow..." Nami said in shock.
"Sugoi, Zoro! That was awesome!" Luffy said.
"Hmph..." Zoro responded as he took of his bandanna. He then looked at Luffy. "So? How did I do compare to you know what?"
"Shishishishi! You were much cooler then." Luffy replied.
"Oi!" Zoro yelled.
"Huh? What are you two talking about?" Nami asked.
"Nothing." They both replied and turned toward Buggy, leaving a confused Nami to look back and forth between them.
"Damn you three...you pay for what you have done!" Buggy yelled at them.
"Shut up, red nose!" Luffy replied.
"Who are you calling a red nose!?" Buggy yelled in anger.
"You, who else?" Luffy laughed.
"Why are you making him even more angry?" Nami yelled.
"That's it! I had enough of this!" Buggy separated his body into different pieces.
"W-What!?" Nami asked in shock.
"A devil fruit?" Zoro asked.
"Of course...I ate the Bara Bara no Mi...I'm a splitting human..." Buggy told them as his body parts floated around.
"Creepy..."
"Is he a monster?" Luffy asked.
"You're one too!" Both Zoro and Nami yelled at him.
"Prepare to die, Straw Hat!" Buggy yelled as he charged with his hands, that were holding daggers. Luffy looked at the attack and raised his hands. He grabbed the hands before the daggers hit him and clenched his hands tightly. "Ahhh! Let me go!" Buggy yelled.
"Okay!" Luffy turned his hands around and threw them back at Buggy. Buggy managed to get them back under control and floated them next to his head.
"How dare you? You will pay for that Stra- wait, where did he go?" Buggy asked as he noticed Luffy was gone. He then suddenly burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Huh?" Nami and Zoro looked confused. They looked over to where Luffy was and saw him tickling Buggy's feet that were the only parts of his body that were not floating.
"Tickle, tickle, tickle." Luffy laughed.
"STOP THAT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Buggy yelled in between his laughs.
"W-What is he doing?" Nami asked Zoro.
"Like I know..."
"Damn you!" Buggy connected his body again and descended down toward Luffy, several more daggers appearing in his hands. Luffy turned his head and jumped out of the way as Buggy's daggers impaled his own feet. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Buggy screamed loudly as Luffy laughed.
"He's an idiot."
"You bastard!" Buggy yelled.
"Sorry, Buggy. But I'm going to end this fight now." Luffy told him.
"W-What?" Buggy asked, but the next thing he knew, Luffy appeared in front of him. "WHAT?"
"Shishishi! Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy stretched his arms back. "...Bazooka!" He shouted and slammed his hands into his chest, sending him flying into the air, his entire body following after him.
"N-No way...in one blow..." Nami exclaimed in shock.
"This guy..." Zoro smirked at the strength of his Captain.
"I win!" Luffy cheered.
"Good for you, so now what?" Zoro asked.
"Hmm...oh yeah! What about the treasure, Nami?" Luffy asked.
"Ah! I almost forgot!" She yelled and ran past them.
"Is she really a member of the crew?" Zoro asked.
"Yep! She's our navigator! Without her, we'll die before we even get tot he Grand Line!" Luffy told him.
"Right...by the way, what the hell you meany by 'cooler then'?" Zoro asked.
"Oh that's because back then you were stabbed in the hip and you battled that guy with that injury." Luffy explained.
"I see...damn that does sound cooler..." Zoro grumbled.
"But defeating him in blow is awesome too!" Luffy added.
"...Nah I prefer the other way..." Zoro replied. "Oh well, as long as I defeated him back there, then it's fine."
"Shishishi!" Luffy laughed.
"Ow...my head..." The Mayor started to wake up as he rubbed his head. "What in the world happened...?" He wondered. He then remembered what was happening before he was knocked out and turned his head. "Huh? W-Where are those pirates?"
"Hey, Old Man! We kicked their butts." Luffy told them.
"Huh? R-Really?" Luffy nodded. "I see...thank goodness...it's over, right?"
"Yep! You can all go back to your homes."
"I see...thank you..."
"Shishishishi, no problem." Zoro smiled in response.
"Sugoi! So much treasure!" Nami's voice was heard after a while as the two turned their heads to see a big bag of treasure behind her. Zoro sweat dropped as he saw Nami's eyes become Beri signs.
"That is a lot!" Luffy agreed and ran over to the bag. "Ne, how much is in here?"
"Probably millions." Nami told him. "You can't have any." Luffy laughed.
"So, now what, Luffy? We don't have a ship, remember?" Zoro told him.
"Oh yeah..." Luffy pondered for a moment.
"I guess you can come along with me and use my boat..." Both of them turned to Nami.
"How much?" They both asked.
"I'm not that heartless!" She yelled back.
"Shishishishi!"
"Alright then, we'll take you up on that offer, not like we have a choice." Zoro told her.
"Yeah, yeah..." She replied, hugging her bag of money.
"She's ignoring me, isn't she?" Zoro sweat dropped.
"Shishishishi!"
"So, you're leaving?" The Mayor asked.
"Well, we're pirates..."
"I'm not!" Nami yelled.
"Anyway, it's best we head out." Zoro told him.
"I see...at least let me do something to thank you." He told them.
"Don't worry about that..." Luffy told him.
"But..."
"You'll hep us eventually..." He said and this confused everyone.
"Huh? What do you mean, Luffy?" Zoro asked.
"Shishishi! Who knows?" He said and started to walk away. "Come on, let's go!" Luffy told them.
"Whatever..." Zoro shrugged and followed.
"Ah! Wait for me!" Nami picked up her bag and ran after them.
When the four got on the dock, Luffy, Zoro and Nami boarded her boat. "Yosh! Let's go!"
"Where exactly?" Zoro asked.
"Don't know..." He replied.
"This idiot..." Nami sighed as the Mayor watched them sail away.
"Those kids..."
"Are you the Mayor of this town?" The Mayor turned around at the voice and saw a man with a brown trench coat and hat standing behind him.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"My name is not important...all you need to know is this...I am a member of the Revolutionary Army...we will like to offer you the protection of the Revolutionary Army."
"W-What? Why is someone like you...?"
"If you let us, you will be able to return the favor for the boy who saved your town from Buggy the Clown."
"Huh? What is you connection?"
"That is not important, however, we promise that what you will be doing will help him."
"What would happen if the World Government finds out about this?"
"You do not have to worry, this agreement will only be between us. You will not have to tell anyone and nobody needs to know your involvement. If something happens and they do find out, we will protect this town."
"I'm...still not sure..."
"I understand...however, we promise to protect this town much better than the World Government ever will, plus that boy will need your help some time in the future."
"I see...so that's what he meant by those words...fine, but I do not want anyone to know about this meeting, understand?"
"Yes, I do."
"Fine then." The Mayor turned around to face the sea. 'Boy...I do not know how you are related with the Revolutionary Army...however, since you do not seem like a bad person, I will put my trust with the Revolutionary Army...'
