AN: Hello darlings! I put more pictures up, some in colour and personally I think they're really cute. Please check them out.

Summary: A flashy-blast from the past.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece


Zoro and Luffy were lying around on the boat as they waited for a gust of wind to take them to the next island. The blazing sun beating down on the two pirates. They had run out food for a couple of hours and Luffy was still hungry.

It didn't take long for the whining to follow suit.

"Zoro, I'm hungry~" Luffy whinged.

"Don't you have anything in that backpack of yours?" Zoro complied.

"No." She replied disappointedly.

Luffy rolled off the railing to lie on her back and stared up at the sky. That was when she spotted a bird just within her jumping distance.

"A bird…we can eat that!" She declared happily. She climbed up the small mast and launched herself into the sky to grab it. Turned out for the worst when the buzzard had caught the girl in its beak and flew off with her.

"Help me!"

"You dumbass, what are you doing?!" Zoro screamed. He grabbed the oars and paddled as fast as he could in hopes of catching up with the runaway bird. He couldn't he was going to follow that person as a captain, but it gave him a sort of satisfaction that he was the first person to call himself her nakama.


The bird flew off over a nearby island, with the captain still in its beak. Luffy desperately tried to pry herself out of the situation that she had put herself into, but she had soon escaped due to a cannonball hitting the bird head on.

Luffy fell from the sky, she quickly coordinated herself before she hit the ground. As she fell, she laid her hands out in front of her and pushed with as much force as she could on impact. The ground crack under the force and dust flew everywhere but Luffy was able to push herself up and onto her feet with injury.

"I'm still hungry, though." Luffy complained, holding onto her stomach.

That was when a girl that she never saw before talked to her about something that she couldn't quite catch and ran off. Luffy turned to the men that were behind her and asked them if they had any food but they upped and punch her across the head.

Luffy's hat flew off her head and she punched the man with full force back in the face. She caught the straw hat before it touched the ground, placed it back on her head and wiped away the small amount of blood that trickled from her the side of her mouth.

When Luffy defeated the other men that were there she saw the girl from before, she asked her if she wanted to join her but Luffy flat out refused. She walked off but collapsed to her knees when she remembered how hungry she was.

The girl introduced herself as Nami and Luffy thought that she and Nami had become instant friends when she gave food to her, turned out to be someone else's. Nami was nice to Luffy until she told Nami that she was a pirate, which completely changed her view of Luffy in that split second. Despite Nami's hatred for pirates, Luffy still wanted Nami as her navigator and seemed willing to go along with any of her conditions.

"Well," Nami started, "If you accept my conditions, I'll think it over."

"Really! I'll do anything!" Luffy cheered. She was really glad that she was getting another crewmember so easily.

"I want you to come with me to see, Pirate Buggy."

Luffy stood up accepting but ended up with herself in ropes. She thought about whom she was going to see.

"Hmm, Buggy, huh? That idiot."

"You don't seem to know the situation that you put yourself into, do you?"

"Yeah, you're going to be my navigator."

Nami sighed at the simple mindedness that Luffy possessed and took her to the over to Buggy as an offering.

Luffy roughly remembered the time that she ran into Buggy when she was a kid. She had been swimming around the East Blue and got hungry during the night and boarded a ship, turned out to belong to the Buggy Pirates. Nothing major had happened, but something that Luffy seemed to have forgotten was Buggy knew she had belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates and a close friend of Shanks. Now whether Buggy remembered that the girl that he was going to meet was the kid from his past was a different story.


Nami had presented Luffy to Buggy but the man didn't get a look at her face due to Nami pushing Luffy to the ground. Buggy had his crew put Luffy into a cage and then threw a party for Nami becoming a part of their crew (temporarily).

It was only until a little later did a cannon was placed in front of the female captain. Cheers echoed as they encouraged Nami to shoot at the woman. Luffy personally saw it as a cowardly trait to attack someone if they were at a disadvantage but didn't say anything about it.

The party didn't last long when Nami had refused to fire the cannon at Luffy. A fight soon broke out but while Nami had her back turned and just about to get stabbed in the back, Zoro had saved her.

"Zoro!" Luffy cheered. "Man, I glad to see!"

This brought a bit of a blush on the demon pirate hunter's face but quickly disappeared before the pirates could see. Although, Nami seemed to had caught it.

"I didn't think you'd find me." Luffy continued, "Hurry up and free me."

"How on earth did you get in there? First it's a bird then it's a cage. Do you what to just pick one?" Zoro commented.

"Nothing too much to handle. It's just a bit of fun, you know."

It didn't take long for Zoro and Buggy to go head to head with each other. When Zoro had sliced up the pirate captain, his crew had just laughed. It didn't take long for everyone to see Buggy's devil fruit abilities.

Zoro had been stabbed from behind through the stomach; this caused Luffy to get angry with the clown pirate.

"Attacking from behind is cowardly, you stupid red nose!"

"Who…are…you…calling…BIG NOSE?!" Buggy screamed. He detached his hand and sent it flying towards Luffy with the knife in between his fingers.

Luffy had bit down on the knife before it did any real harm to her. She told Buggy that she was going to kick his ass and then told Zoro to run. They shared a moment of eye contact that looked more like telepathy and Zoro had flipped the cannon towards the pirates and launched the Buggy Bomb at them.

Zoro had grabbed Luffy's cage and they made a run for it.


AN: This chapter is definitely a lot shorter than the previous ones but I'm going to make the Buggy ark into two chapters and move right along. I'm sure you're looking forward to Buggy's reaction to Luffy once he figures out who she is.
