Before we begin, I want to make something clear, the arcs like this one will be in two parts, the arcs that are long like Arlong Park will be around three or four chapters. With that said, enjoy the chapter.
Enter Nami; the Cat Burgalar, and Buggy the Clown; the joke of a pirate!
"So let me guess this straight; he wants to be King of the Pirates?"
"Uhu."
"And he plans to sail all the seas to find it."
"Yep."
"Okay….. So, explain to me WHY DOESN'T HE KNOWS HOW TO FUCKING NAVIGATE?!"
Zoro yelled while pointing at the idiotic boy that was on the ground holding his stomach. "I'm soooooo hungry."
"He's one of those who uses instincts and brawn's." Seth says as he slumps against the side.
"Shishishi! That's right!" Luffy laughs out, "Besides, you're like me, hunting pirates and walking around randomly." he points at the swordsman.
Zoro facepalm, "Okay, first of all, I'm not wandering around to hunt pirates all the time; Second I was looking for a man, but couldn't find my way back home."
"Oh, you got lost?" Luffy asked.
"I DID NOT GET LOST!" Zoro shout.
"Sounds more like you got lost." Seth says.
"I DIDN'T!"
*Groooooooowl~*
Three stomachs escape from the three of them before they lost the will to speak up.
"So hungryyyyyyy." Luffy moans out.
"Oh jeez, you don't say," Seth says sarcastically, "I wonder whose fault is that for eating all of our food in more than three hours ago?" he asks.
"Did I really choose to follow this idiot?" Zoro asked before looking at Seth, "Why did you choose to join him?"
The auburn boy stood silent for a moment before answering, "Because our dreams are in the same place."
Zoro raised an eyebrow, "What you mean?"
"...One Piece is the world's greatest fortune that Gol Roger had to offer when he died," Seth made a smile, "I meet a guy that claimed to have known the Pirate King's crew and became good friends with them," he looks up into the sky. "He told me something interesting."
Zoro pay attention to him and Luffy also pay attention with a wide smile, "He said that protecting the One Piece was the 'King Beasts of all Seas'; the most dangerous and powerful animal in the world…. Even Roger himself couldn't defeat it alone."
"Wait what?" Zoro question in shock, "A beast that not even Roger himself couldn't defeat? That's new."
"I know right!" Luffy said like a little kid. "That must have been one scary monster!"
"Anyway, to make sure he was telling the truth, he had a nasty scar on the back," Seth says as he summon his lion arm. "It was like a deep gash, but something that was impossible to be alive from!" he motioned his hand in a slash. "He said that 'Death came to visit him' at that time."
"Hooo, this beast must really be strong for someone to say death came to visit him," Zoro says with interested.
"Tell me about it, anyway, he said that after Roger and his crew defeated, the monster acknowledge his strength and follow him for quite a while…..until the day before Roger got capture." Seth look out at the ocean, "The monster was angry that he himself couldn't protect the man who defeated him and began terrorizing anything on his way, for three years, people fear it, dub him with the title from before, but thankfully, someone stopped him on his path, yelling out and loud;
"You may have failed protect your captain! But, you still can protect what he left! Protected with all your might until someone worthy defeats you again!"
"At those words, the monster stopped his rampage and disappear, never to be seen again, it says that he roams through the waters, where One Piece is." Seth finish explaining.
"And you plan to find it?" Zoro asked him.
"No just find it! Beat him!" Luffy answer Zoro's question, making the swordsman eyes widened.
Seth chuckles as he explains, "Luffy is right, if I beat him up, I will be the 'King Beasts of all Seas', the title of the strongest monster in all seas."
The green haired swordsman hums with amused, "I see…. But, why do you want to become that?"
Seth stood silent for a few minutes before he placed his hand on the yellow pendant in his neck, "Because is my dream….and my promise to a dear friend."
Zoro chuckles in understanding, "I guess I'm not the only one that thinks like that…..but I have to ask," he says with a serious tone. "Do you really think that monster is real? It could be that he was just telling you the story to screw you?"
"What?!" Luffy shout in shock, "You mean there isn't an animal like that?!"
"I never said that you idiot!" Zoro shout back at him.
Seth chuckle at him, "You're right Zoro," he returned his hand back to his origin. "Maybe that man was just messing with me….. But, you know what they say; "A legend is only a legend until someone proves it's real."
Zoro stood silent before he sighs, "I guess you have a point there," he says as rest back. He suddenly noticed something on the sky, "Hey look, a bird!"
"No! Dinner!" Luffy shouted before stretching his arms to the wooden sail, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" He shot right into the sky, directly at the bird.
"Okay," Seth stood up and grabbed an oar, "It's time to work Zoro."
"Huh? Why?" The swordsman asked before looking at Luffy and notice two things….. He wasn't going down and was flying away. "Oh….."
"At the count of three, we do it." Seth says as Zoro pick an oar as well.
"Sounds good." he answers.
"Okay," they both took deep breaths before Seth began, "1…...2….3…."
"THAT IDIOT!"
Both boys began to row like mad while following their captain. They row, and row, and row until-
"Help us! Stop the boat!" Someone screamed out. Both pirates turn to see three men floating in the ocean, desperately trying to not drown.
"We have some floating barrels in the water what do we do?!" Seth asked.
"Oy! We can't stop, so grab a hold!" Zoro shout at the three men.
"WHAT?!" the three of them yelled as the boat pass by and they grab a hold it.
"Hooo, you guys have great climbing skills." Zoro comments on them.
"YOU TWO WERE TRYING TO LEFT US TO DROWN?!" they yelled before taking some weapons out. "Stop the ship! We are the Buggy Pirates!"
Zoro and Seth look at each other before nodding.
"Hehehehe, we are terribly sorry! We didn't know that you were Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro!" says one of the pirates as he was covered in bruises, along with his friends as they were roaring now the boat with goofy smiles.
"Thanks to you morons, we lost track of our friend." Zoro says as he rests against the boat while Seth was on the top of the sail. "Why the hell were you guys on the sea anyways?" he asked them.
"Ah, right! It was all that bitch fault!" one of the shout. He began explaining how they were coming back from raiding a ship before they spotted another boat with a girl in it. She had offered them the treasure from the chest in her boat in exchange for food and water. They boarded her boat to find it empty while the girl had taken their boat full of treasure, leaving them at the mercy of a storm that she predicted.
"She predicted the weather?" Seth asked them in curiosity.
"Yeah, and now we're in big trouble." one of the pirates said. "If we return to Captain Buggy empty-handed, we're dead."
"Buggy?" Zoro asked.
"You mean you've never heard of Captain Buggy, the clown pirate?!" another asked. "He's a monster who eat the Devil Fruit!"
"Is that so?" Zoro asked as he turns to the auburn boy, "We could have someone like her on the crew to help us."
"I was thinking the same thing," Seth let go of the pool and lands next to the him, "Anyway, I pick up that idiot's scent, we should be there in less than ten minutes."
"Heh, guess having an animal soul inside has its perks." Zoro said. "Oy! Row faster!" he yells at the pirates.
"Sir, yes sir!" the commenced to row like mad man. In less than six minutes, they notice land in front. "Land Ho!" Seth yell as the pirates began to slow down, when they reach it, the pirates were breathing heavy before they collapse in the floor unconscious.
"Alright, we are here!" Seth jump off the boat, follow by Zoro. "Now then, Luffy is somewhere in this town."
The green swordsman look around the town, "Are you sure he is here?"
Seth tap his nose, "The nose doesn't lie to me." he says before an explosion went through the city. "...And I'll be surprised if that explosion doesn't have anything to do with Luffy."
"...Point taken." Zoro said before he and the lion boy began sprinting where the explosion came from.
…
..
.
('Why…..Why this had to happen?!') an orange-haired girl shout in her head. She was standing in front of a cannon that was pointing directly at a familiar straw hat in a cage.
Long story short, this girl capture Luffy after she managed to convince him to help her up. She then said that she was 'betraying' his former boss and wanted to join Buggy's crew. The plan was that she would make all the pirates drunk, steal their treasure and the map of the Grand Line. And maybe, help Luffy get out. You see, this girl hates pirates for some reason…..you know why, so I'm skipping that.
But then, things went sour when Buggy, a man with a red clown nose, clothes and makeup, orange captain hat and coat, demand Luffy execution right away with one of his 'Special Buggy Ball'. A demonstration, imagine Iron Man's Unibeam, but bigger and destroying house into nothing, leaving a trail behind.
When the girl saw that, her heart stopped right there, if she does that, she will become nothing more than a pirate. And even if Luffy was one, he told him himself, he saved her from those pirates chasing her.
"Do it Nami! Blast him into pieces!" shout Buggy as he and his man laugh.
The girl named Nami began to shake, she can't kill someone. Luffy notice this and smirk at her.
"Looks like your doubting," Nami hear the straw hat boy talk, "This is what happens when you face pirates with a weak amount of determination."
Nami looked at him in fear. "What? To kill someone, even a pirate, like it's nothing?"
"No…." Luffy gives her a determined face, "Is to be ready to risk your life, no matter what." Those words shock Nami a lot.
Suddenly, one of Buggy's pirates came up to her and grabbed the matches. "Quit messing around and stop spoiling the fun! Let me do it!" He said, beginning to light the match.
In a quick moment, Nami reached the three pieces of her staff that were hidden on her thigh and clicked them together and slammed the pirate into the ground, knocking him out cold.
Buggy's mouth fell to the floor before glaring hard at her, "NAMI! I gave you the honor of being able to light the cannon and you betray me?!"
Luffy grinned. "So you're saving me now?!"
Nami bit her lip in anger at what she had just done. "Shut up, idiot! I did that because I don't want to kill anyone, even a no good pirate like you. I don't want to become anything like an evil pirate!" She yelled. She grit her teeth angrily, "Pirates stole the life of someone who was precious to me. I hate pirates more than anything!"
"Ah, so that's why you don't like pirates." Luffy nod his head in understatement before he saw…. "Ah! The fuse is on!"
Nami turn back to see that the fuse was on! ('Crap! It is on!')
"Everyone, kill that woman painfully!" Buggy shouted to his men as they all ran towards Nami with their swords drawn.
The orange woman deflected a swing of a pirate's sword and narrowly avoided another one. She ducked low and swept one of the pirate's legs, causing him to fall to the ground. Two more came at her, she makes a swing, but they dodge it, making her feel despair.
"Ha! We got you-" before the pirate could talk, a spinning object crash into them, sending right back at the crew.
"Huh?" Nami only said as the spinning object lands in front of her. It was a young auburn haired boy wearing black clothes and golden lines. His hair was long, and most shocking of all, he had two lion arms, two lion ears and a long auburn tail with a fluffy end. After witnessing that, Nami though only one thing….
('A cute cat man!?') she yell with blush appearing on her cheeks.
"It would appear I have found the trickster." Seth says as he turns to look at her, "But never thought it was you." Nami eyes widened at seeing his light-blue eyes.
('Is him! The guy that I saw on the boat with that boy!') she thought, not noticing the three pirates rushing at her from behind. However, they were stopped by two sheathed swords. "Seriously? They need this much to kill one girl?" Zoro growled.
"Zoro! Seth!" Luffy beamed at them as he bites the cage.
The moss haired swordsman turns to him, "Is this your idea of fun?! You get captured by a bird, get carried away, and now you're on a cage!?"
"We don't have time for this!" Seth shout as he stands next to the cannon and flip around, pointing at the Buggy pirates.
"AAAAAAAAAH! Don't point this way!" Buggy and his crew shout in fear as the lit on the cannon end and the Buggy cannonball quickly fired out of the cannon, demolishing all that was in its path.
Nami stood in complete shock at what she just witnessed, "Zoro, help here!" she turns to the side to see both Seth and Zoro picking the cage that held Luffy. "Oi, Lady!" she hears him call her.
"Y-Yes!?" she quickly asked him.
"If you want to live, I suggest you get moving. This guys are going after us any time soon." Seth says, his ears twitching.
"Actually, she is our navigator!" Luffy beam out.
"No I'm not!" Nami shout at him.
"Whatever! Let's get out of here!" Zoro yell as they move out.
…
..
.
The four of them were far away from Buggy and the others, they stop in the middle of the street. "Okay, this is enough." Zoro said. Both him and Seth drop the cage down before slumping on the ground. "Damn….I'm tired." said Zoro.
"Tell me about it," Seth says as his stomach grumbles and his body goes back to its original form, "I don't have the energy to move anymore."
"Stupid cage, if only I could break away from it!" Luffy yell as he tries to get out of the cage.
"You guys are seriously dumb, you know?" Nami says with deadpan face.
"Hey!" Zoro yell at her, scaring the poor girl a little, "Try to fight without food for hours!"
"Take it easy Zoro," Seth says as he slumps his back against a wall, "It's not good to talk with little strength."
"W-Wait a minute," said Nami as she points at the moss haired man, "Did you just say Zoro!? As in the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro?!" she asked with widened eyes. Seth nods at her, "Why is a Pirate Hunter helping a pirate?!" she asked the man himself.
"I quit being a pirate hunter….. Anyway, so you're our navigator?" Zoro asked her.
Nami turn her head away, "Tch! No I'm not, I refuse to be a pirate." she says with such disgust.
"Then why were you defending this idiot?" Seth asked as he places himself on top of Luffy's cage.
"Because I wasn't going to kill anyone! The plan was that I give him to Buggy, steal all their treasures when they were drunk enough to pass out and get out of there!" she explained to them.
Seth stood silent before he point below him, "So, you planned to leave him there?"
Nami twitch at his question, "N-No! I did plan on letting him out!" she says.
"She hates pirates because they took away someone important." Luffy stated, causing Nami to jerk at his bluntness.
Seth stood silent before smiling at her, "...I understand." he said before looking at the cage. "Now then…"
('Did he….just accept my reason?') Nami though as he watches the lion boy use his auburn arms to open the cage.
He tries to break them, but his strength was failing him, "Gah, is not use," Seth says as he lets go of the top part, "I need nutrition on my veins to at least open it."
"Wow! You suck Seth!" Luffy laughs out. "Why didn't you eat something?"
"Whose fault was that?!" Zoro and Seth shout at him. They continue to shout at each other while the thief looks at them in disbelief.
"You guys are idiots," she commented before taking out something and throw it at the ground in front of them, "Here, consider that my thanks for the saved."
The three boys look down, "The cage's key!" Luffy beam in happiness.
"Heh, guess that our job was all for something." Zoro said. He was about to grab the key, but then, a dog grab the key and swallow it.
*Gahkon*
Four jaw fell to the ground as eight eye bloodshot at the direction of the dog. There was silent in the air before Luffy lose it.
"YOU STUPID DOG, WHAT THE HELL D'YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Luffy shouted as he began to choke the poor animal. "SPIT IT OUT!"
Suddenly, an elderly male voice spoke up, "Oi, you people! What are you doing to Chu Chu!?" the four of them turn to see and elderly man with a rusty armor and spear.
(After some explanation)
"I see….." the old man says as he understood the situation. He then went to his house and return with a bowl of dog food and some breadsticks and water.
"Please forgive Chu Chu, is my fault for not coming quick to feed him." the old man bows for forgiveness. "Please, accept this food as an apology." Both Seth and Zoro thank the old man before they dug in.
"Hey! Where's my shared?!" Luffy pout before a breadstick hits his face.
Nami sighs at them, all three of them act like idiots, even the cute auburn boy. She blush at that thought before looking at the old man. "So, who are you sir?"
The man introduced himself, "My name is Bloodle, I'm the mayor of this town," he placed the bowl in front of Chu Chu who chow down on it. "After Buggy raid this town, my people and me moved outside the town to be safe from them."
"Why is this dog not with the rest of you?" Nami asked the mayor.
"You see, Chu Chu's my friend's dog. He's protecting his owner shop, this place is filled with cherished memories for the two." Boodle told the four. He kneel down to inspect the dog for any injuries, "Look at these wounds. They're definitely from fighting with those pirates and protecting this store."
"But then, no matter how precious it is, what kind of thing is making a dog guard a store with pirates as the enemy. The store owner is with the other people at the shelter, right?" Nami asked, shock that the dog was alone here. At that time, the pirates finish their meal.
Boodle sighs as he lighted his pipe. "No…that guy…he's already gone to the next world because of a sickness." He muttered, noticing the dog suddenly stop eating. "Three months ago he was hospitalized and then…well you can figure out the rest for yourself."
The four of them stood silent at his words before Nami ask, "Then, maybe he is waiting for him to return?" she suggests.
"No," she turns to see Seth looking at the dog, "Those eyes he has…. They aren't waiting; they are protecting."
Boodle blew smoke out of his mouth, "That's right boy…. Chu Chu is a smart boy, he already knows his owner is gone…. But his owner loved this shop so much, he's willing to protect this place at any cost."
('Heh! I can respect that.') Seth comment on his head as he got off the cage and walk in front of the dog. He went to his own level, "Chu Chu…. You have my full respect."
"Arf!" the dog bark back at him, in a happy tone.
"Shishishi! I like this dog! He has spirit!" Luffy yelled, beaming a smile at him.
"That goes to show how much one must be willing to protect what's important to them…..He has courage right inside his body." Zoro says, smiling at him as well.
Nami was surprised at their tone. She has never seeing pirates talk about respect and protect, a small smile appear on her face. ('Maybe…. Maybe they aren't as bad as I thought first….')
*Rooooooooar!*
A sudden roar surprised the group, "W-w-what was that?!" Nami asked in fear.
Boodle began sweating bullets as he recognized that particular roar. "T-That is that guy! The Beast Tamer, Mohji! Run away!" He shouted in fright, hightailing it out of there with Nami right behind him.
Luffy, who was still in the cage, Zoro and Seth stood in their place, Zoro standing up from the ground.
"Hey…. That sounds like a lion's roar." Said Seth.
"Really?" Asked Zoro. Moments later, a man riding a giant lion with light-purple mane began to come close to them. "Well I be damn that was a lion." Zoro comment.
Seth went to the cage they brought with them, now that he has strength, he grabs the bars and bent them into a hole.
"Wohoo! I'm free!" Luffy yell in joy as he gets out of the cage.
"Luffy, Zoro, leave this to me." Said Seth.
"You sure?" Zoro asked him in which he nod.
"Alright Seth, kick his ass!" Luffy beam out at the same time the lion reach them.
"Hehehe, I have found the straw hat boy and two of his friends," the man riding the lion says, "I'm Captain Buggy's first mate, Mohji!" he introduced himself. "Captain Buggy is pretty mad. You guys have committed a pretty serious crime." he says with a dark tone. "As his first mate, I will bring your head to….. Wait."
He finally noticed that only Seth was present, both Luffy and Zoro were far away from them.
Taking the wrong though, Mohji began to chuckle, "Looks like your friends just ditch you, poor thing…."
Seth crack his neck, "Your right, they ditch me because they don't want to be in front of a weirdo with a cos-play hair." That statement shock the man.
"Cos-play?! This is the hair that I was born with you asshole!" Mohji yelled while pointing at his hair.
"That's even worse!" Seth yell back, "Was your father a lion and one night found a drunken woman, decide to bend her over and put his long stick in her, and then nine months later, the woman came to him and give you to him saying that this was his disgraced and he raised you until you were old enough to take care of yourself and ditch you, and now you're mad at him so you train a lot until the day you meet him so that you can beat the shit out of him and when he dies he'll said; You're my disgrace'?"
Mohji and his lion's jaw fell down, and back on the background, you could see Luffy rolling in the floor dying of laughter and Zoro trying to hold his own laughter. The beast tamer face turn red of furry.
"You fucking bastard! You have no idea who're you messing with!" he growl at him, "I'm the Beast Tamer dammit! There isn't any animal in the world that won't obey me! Observe!" he points at Chu Chu, "You! Shake!"
*BITE*
"AAAAAHCK!" Mohji screamed as the dog jumped up and bit his hand. As the dog jumped backdown in front of the pet food store, Mohji turned back to look at Seth, "Anyway, you are just nameless thief!" he says, ignoring the deadpanned face of the lion boy and the 'Booo! You suck!' signthat he was holding.
"Rrrrrrrrrr!" the lion growl as he looks at the shop.
"Now, now Richie, let's first kill him and then you can devour him along with the dog." Mohji says darkly.
Meanwhile, Nami and Boodle got out of hiding and went next to Luffy and Zoro.
"Umm, you two, why are you standing here for?! Don't you see he's going to get himself killed?!" Nami yell at them.
"She's right! Mohji is a dangerous man, his lion has killed hundreds of people! Your friend won't last a minute!" the mayor agreed with Nami.
"Don't worry," Luffy spoke up, never stop looking at Seth, "Seth is super strong, is that weirdo who won't last a minute." he says with such confident.
"Beside, he said that he can manage it, I'm curious to see how he does it." Zoro comment.
Back at Seth, the auburn boy chuckle at the bold statement, "Devour me? Do you even know what you're doing?"
Mohji looks with an eerie look in his face. "Don't screw with me boy. Richie, show him what I mean." Richie growled, he looks at Seth before he let a mighty roar on his face.
"Roooooooooar!"
Saliva and heavy smell hit Seth on the face. When Richie stop roaring, Mohji had a cocky smirk after seeing Seth trembling.
"Now, you see. You better started running before-" he was stopped when he saw Seth smirk, took a deep breath, and-
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!"
A booming voice came out of Seth's mouth, echoing right through the Beast Tamer and his lion. Mohji cover his ear at the sudden voice. Windows shatter into pieces and cracks on ground were form. Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Boodle cover their poor ears at the booming roar coming from the auburn boy.
Once it stops, Mohji recovers his hearing back, and saw Seth smirking at him, "Now that's a real roar."
The Beast Tamer looks at him in confusion and anger, "I don't understand how you do this, but is time to end this! Richie, kill him!" Mohji order his tamed lion…..but it never move a paw. "Richie?" the man looks at the lion and his eyes became shock.
Richie's eyes were tiny dots and shaking a lot, his body trembles in fear as sweat rolls down his face, its mouth trembles at the fear he just witnessed.
"O-Oi, Richie! What's going on?!" Mohji asked his animal before said animal eyes roll up and foam came out of his mouth, falling down to the ground unconscious and throwing Mohji off.
"Richie!" the Beast Tamer yell in fear as his partner pass out. He suddenly felt a dangerous aura behind him, he turns around to and saw Seth smiling devilishly at him. "Y-You….what you did to Richie?!" he asked as sweat forms on his face and fears creep into him.
"Oh nothing…. Just showing him, who is the Alpha here." Seth answer.
Not taking the answer greatly, Mohji too out a whip from somewhere on his body. "You'll pay for this!" he began to send whip slashes at Seth, who merrily dodge them until the whip lash on his arm. "Ha! Got you now!" he shouts as he pulls his whip to send him into a wall….That is, if he could move him.
"You got me?" Seth asked before grabbing a hold of the whip. Mohji eyes widened and before he could do anything, he was pulled at the auburn lion, he screams in fear as he comes close to the boy.
"Let this be a reminder; you never stood a chance! Lion Strike!" Seth yell as his fist turn into his lion arm and send it forward.
"Aaaaaaaaaaa-" Mohji scream was cut when his face collide with the fist with full force.
"Hold it!" Eternal4Ever said as he rewind again the video, "Let's slow it down for a bit…..More…..More…..There!" the TV stop right at the moment the fist collide, the words *crack* appearing on the side. "Ooooohhhhh, that had to hurt a lot, nose broken, definitely, and maybe some missing teeth. Okay, we now return."
Mohji's head hit the ground hard, blood and tears coming out of him unconscious.
"That's it? This is Buggy's first mate strength?" Seth look at his defeated opponent in disappointment. "Well, I guess he was just like his captain; a laughing joke." He turns to Chu Chu, "I'll be taking this two away, wouldn't want this lion wake to up and attack you, right?"
"Arf! Arf!" The dog bark at him while waving his tail. Seth slung the unconscious Beast Tamer on his shoulder and grab Richie by the paw. He began to drag it away from the shop and walk directly to his friends. When he got there, he saw Luffy smiling widely at him, Zoro eyes were widened, and both Nami and the mayor jaw were down on the ground.
"Nice Seth!" Luffy beam at him.
"Damn! You beat a lion on a roaring contest and make it pass out!" Zoro said.
"W…..What the hell?!" Nami yelled before she points at him accusingly. "How the hell did you do that?! No normal person could have out-roar a giant lion?!" she then points at the unconscious victims, "And why did you brought them with you?!"
Seth blink three times at her before saying, "So you're telling me that I should have left them there and once they woke, let them destroy Chu Chu's shop?" Nami was taken back by his question, he was thinking for the dog's shop? "Now, I may be a pirate, but I even I know the valuable that shop is for the dog, I'm not going to let some lion destroy it only because his trainer wasn't doing a good job feeding him."
"Shishishi! That's right!" Luffy agreed with his friend and Zoro just crack a small smile.
The orange haired thief look at them in shock, all this time, in her eyes, pirates were nothing more than criminals that take away other's valuable things. However, here is one pirate, fighting for the treasure of someone else…. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea.
"I'm so pathetic," the mayor spoke up as he gritted his teeth, "Chu Chu and this young man are protecting this town while I can only sit down down and do nothing!" he yelled out.
Nami put up her hand to stop the mayor's yelling. "Wait, Mayor, calm down!" Nami said, trying to calm him.
"To a real man, there are some fights that can't be avoided! Isn't that right, you three?!" Boodle yelled to Seth, Luffy and Zoro.
"Hehe of course!" Luffy replied with a grin.
"Heh, I guess that's true." Zoro comment.
"True words have never been spoken." Seth said.
"Don't encourage him you idiots!" Nami yelled at them.
The mayor began to talk about his town, "Forty years ago, this place was nothing but a wasteland, we built small town after we lost our other town by pirates!" he made a small smile as memories flow through his mind, "We were just a few making this town, but then, our population rose, and we build more houses and shops!" he then points at his village, "Now look at it! This town grew a lot from before! OUR village has grown! Now this pirates are destroying it!" Boodle raised his spear into the air, "I am the Mayor of this town! I won't run again while my treasure is being destroyed!"
Before Boodle could run off, Nami quickly grabbed a hold of his shirt to try to bring him back before he got himself killed. "W-wait a minute, Mayo! Those people are dangerous! So what's the point in going!? This is too reckless!"
"I KNOW I BEEN RECKLESS!" The mayor yell at her with crying tears, surprising her a lot. Taking the moment, Boodle got out of her grasp, "Buggy the Clown! I 'm comi-" he was cut short when a fist hit his stomach.
Nami gasp in shock at seeing Seth punching the old man. His body went limp before Seth grab him, "You're mad because you're weak," the auburn boy whispered on his ear, "Hold that feeling tight; is the proof that you haven't give up fighting."
The auburn lion place slowly the mayor on the ground. Suddenly, a fist bump his head, he turns to see Nami angry. "You idiot! Why did you knock him out?!"
Seth raised an eyebrow at her, "You yelled that he was doing something reckless, yet you get mad for stopping him?" he asked her.
"Your weird." Luffy state to her.
"Shut Up!" she yelled at them.
"So, what now?" Zoro asked.
"Isn't obvious?" Seth grab the lion and his tamer again, "We have to repay the old man for the food; by kicking Buggy out of here!"
"Shishishi! That's right, I like this old man, I don't want him to die!" Luffy agrees. "Now! Let's go kick Buggy's ass!"
"Heh, I'm starting to get excited." Zoro smiled.
"How can you three act like nothing bad is going to happened?!" Nami yelled at their calm nature.
"My ambition."
"My will."
"My dream!"
"You are idiots!" Nami slap her face.
"Our destination is the Grand Line! Now we're going to go steal that map again!" Luffy shouted, raising his hand to Nami. "Will you join us? You need the map too, don't you? And the treasure!"
Nami stared at his hand angrily and breathed out a huff of air. "I'm not going to become a pirate," She said, smacking Luffy's hand with hers. "Rather than 'partners', let's just say that we're 'cooperating.' Helping each other to achieve our goals."
"Great! Now that we have a beautiful woman with us, shall we go?" Seth asked, causing Nami to blush at his statement.
"Right!" Luffy agreed while Zoro wrap his green bandana on his head tight.
The four of them commence to walk back to the joke of a pirate call Buggy.
