Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece
Orange Town and Buggy the Clown
Luffy POV
"Captain Luffy-sama."
"Yes what is it Coby?" I ask sitting lazily in my chair about five seconds from nodding off. Something about the sea that makes me extremely tired even though it's only noon.
"I was wondering who exactly are we facing? You haven't really told us much."
"You're right about that I guess. Alright let me elaborate, the man we're facing is called Buggy the Clown. Him and my mentor Shanks we're very close when they were rookies, hell they were practically brothers. He also told me that he ate the Bara Bara Fruit which let's him split his body up numerous times and in various ways. So fighting him with a sword unless you're clever is useless. Anyways my spies have reported have reported they use something called a Buggy Ball and with its destructivd capabilities we're so stealing it."
"But why-" Coby gets cut off because by that point I'd already fallen asleep in my chair. What I didn't tell Coby is that the reason I want it is so I can reverse engineer it and use it as my own. It will help in the future once I get the One Piece and surpass him.No one knows my real reason for wanting One Piece, (Neither will you), but when the time is right I will tell them.
"Luffy wake up you idiot we're here." Groggily I open my eyes to see the town in front of us. I frowned as I saw the destruction Buggy and his crew have brought upon this place. I turn my head and frown as I see three tied up pirates sporting Buggy's Jolly Roger.
"What's with the morons. No wait don't tell me, let me guess, tried to rob us in a small boat, probably a dinghy and got beat up and after stealing their treasure brought them here hoping they'd get tortured by their boss for failing even though we were headed here anyways."
Seeing everyone's floundered looks I can tell I hit the nail on the head. My deductive reasoning skills were better than Nami's. I might not be able to predict the weather as well as she can, but I've got everything else down pat.
"How'd he," asked a surprised Coby while the others judt snickered remembering they were exactly the same the first time.
"That's just how he is." said Drake from behind Coby making him jump as he hadn't realized he was behind him the whole time. Nami sees weather, Luffy sees reality. Trust me after the third or fourth time you get used to it. You should watch him interrogate prisoners, it gets weird and frightening at the same time."
"How much longer til we make port?"
"Within the hour captain."
"-" I halt in what I say as I sense a random group of no names about to attack the ship. "Full stop. Prepare to be boarded. Kill them all I'm just not in the mood. No powers, I feel I don't need to remind you what happened last time." I say sending a glare at Drake and Conis. A captain's heart is his ship and if you wreck it you pay the consequences.
"Conis, who's attacking?"
"Small ship of marines, approaching fron Northeast."
"Why are they approaching us? Buggy and his crew are, oh now I get it. The town must've called for assistance and they're attacking us, not because they think we're part of his crew but because they think we're helping him. Damn. 86 previous order no mercy. I was gonna be nice and try to give them a chance but this is just not my day. Conis, Sabo take Coby with you and take them out and loot the ship."
"Sure that's wise little bother? We stay in open seas too long we risk being found our and possible attack. Not saying we can't take em but getting cajvhg this early in the game would make ir more difficult if you want to beat him." Sabo said stressing the word to emphasizs who he was talking about. The man I want to surpass and kill. He is my goal, not One Piece.
"Just go already. Once you're done meet us at the pet shop. Should be easy to find since it will be set on in about an hour from now. Coby you need combat experience. Use you peculiarity and fight, don't hide."
"That's impossible. I can't use what I don't know."
"The fact that you haven't realized that this entire time not a single one of us have uttered a single word. You my friend are a telepath. And a pretty powerful one at that." I say actually speaking for the first time during the duration of this conversation. "Its not just thought you can read, but, well this will be better to show than explain."
I turn around and everyone made the motions of preparing to leave/land. Discreetly giving the signal to Ace who'd been silent this whole time. He shot a few flame bullets at him Coby who a week ago would've end up bacon nimbly dodged each of them without even a slight burn on his clothes.
"You can predict movements in ways similar to that of Observation Haki but stronger. Nami give him your spare bo staff when we're done here your job is to train them."
"Aye." she hesitantly said.
"Lu, are you sure its wise to send him in untrained. He's got no muscle and while even Rika could beat that whole crew with her pinky he's got no training, and no combat experience whatsoever." He does make a good point. That's why I'm sending Drake to secretly watch and observe so I know where to start. He isn't one of my best fighters for nothing. Whemever we get a rookie like Coby his job is to observe their capabilities and report what they are if they exist to me.
"If memory serves, neither did we."
I say with a smirk to Sabo and Ace remembering the rigorous tor-, training Garp pur us through in his relentless pursuit to make us marines.
"All hands prepare for pushoff" I say as the marines start firing on us. Damn I was too busy showing off again that I forgot the marines.
Once Sabo finally left with Coby, Conis and Drake in tow I gave the order to Ace for gear shift, meaning we'd be using his powers to reach the town.
Coby POV
I can't believe the captain is making me do this. But I also wonder how he knew what my peculiarity was before I knew myself.
"Its because of his natural sense. He can feel the flow of things and even with that most of the time he's just guessing." I shoot Sabo a questioning look wondering how he knew what I was thinking. "Its written all over your face. You seriously need to develop a poker face." Teasingly said Sabo. He's right though.
"There they are. Men kill those pirates."
"Good luck Coby. We'll cover you from down here."
"Seriously?" I could see that they weren't going to move even before I asked. 'Damn Pirates.I might be one now but that doesn't excuse their laziness.
Taking a leaf from the captain's book I gathered psychic energy to my legs and I jumped on board to see about 30 swords pointed at me. "Surrender now pirate."
"In the words of my captain," I snap my fingers and half of them dropped, "sleep. Now then, whose first?" At that they all charged at me and I prepared my bo staff. I slammed it into the gut of the closest and used him as a sort of leverage and threw him and five others overboard. With the others it was sword against staff I gained the upper hand and with a psionic bust knocked them all out.
"Oi you lazy bums you can come up now. They're all knocked out. Let's get whatever cargo we can and bring it back to the ship and meet up with the others." I look over the side and see them asleep. So to have some fun I threw one of the bodies at them shocking them awake.
"Not funny rookie. Good job, but not funny."
"It is a little. Now hurry up, who knows what the others are up to."
Luffy POV
"Over there an empty house. Everyone inside." We all ran for it and immediately ducked inside and locked it after waiting a minute to make sure our pursuers had passed us we all let out a breathe we didn't realize we were holding. "Really Rika, did you have to bring up the nose? You almost cost us the mission. Luckily I always hide smoke bombs in my jacket for emergencies." Okay I may be a little harsh with the scolding but I'm right, we were forced to retreat so as not to compromise the plan for meeting up with the others.
"I'm sorry Mr. Monkey. I didn't know it would cause so much trouble." I don't blame her. She's just a child but she still needs to learn her lesson.
"That's o- p, everybody get down." I yell as due to my wolf senses I hear an incoming buggy ball about two clicks from our location which is still close enough to destroy the house we're in. I run over to Rika and tackle her as a piece of debris was about to fall on her and we stay like that as the rest of the house comes down around us.
Buggy POV
"Men! are you certain that was the general location of those brats who insulted me?" Yelled the clown in question.
"Yes Captain Buggy that is right around where we lost them we're almost certain they were in the vicinity of the blast."
"Excellent. Men commence celebration."
All the Buggy pirates cheered for another stupid reason to party as usual.
'Damn brats that's what they get for insulting.' This thought was shared by both the captain and a certain lion rider.
Flashback
'Mr.Monkey why do those weirdoes have ear hats and a giant tomato on their faces.' Innocently asked Rika as we were supposed to be having a peaceful drink not knowing the repercussions of that one question.
Everyone stood slack jawed as they not only insulted their captain but one of their commanders as well.
'WHAT'D YOU SAY??!!!'
Flashback End
"Those fools got what they deserve. Let's celebrate their flashy deaths." Buggy yells as he takes another swig of his drink. Not knowing that this was part of Luffy's contingency plan and that in fact they weren't dead at all.
Drake POV
Damn it captain. I know your plans can be a little extreme but I didn't think you'd go this far. I better signal Sabo to continue with the plan.
Coby POV
"What the hell was that?"
"Looks like one of those Buggy balls Luffy was talking about. Oh no what if they got hit? One of them, most likely Luffy must've done something to piss of the captain and he ordered them to shoot the ball at them."
"What if they got hit? What if they're dead?"
"We don't know for sure. For now let's just wait for a signal telling us what to do." As soon as Sabo finishes saying that we heard a loud yet faint roar. Sabo seemed to understand what it meant as he ordered us to row to a secluded spot near the port. "That was Drake telling us to continue the plan. That means we must wait and see what happens."
We both nod and continue. Even with that bit of reassurance I'm still so worried. 'Please be safe guys.' I silently pray.
TBC...
I've read some of the comments and following a few suggestions I will slowly be making a few adjustments here and there and I'd like for people to cut me some slack I'm still a bit new to this and am literally making this all up as I go.
