Chapter 6: The Buggy pirates

The next day the Genesis arrives at Orange Town after Luffy had a little accident with a giant bird by getting stuck in its beak and then managing to get free, only to fall from the sky and land on the deck of the Genesis.

"Iowa you need to stay here okay?" Luffy says.

"Okay daddy. I'll stay on the Genesis." Iowa says sadly.

"I know that you want to explore, but Buggy the clown is here and I don't want you to get hurt." Luffy says as he bends to one knee as he looks in his daughter's eyes.

"I understand daddy." Iowa says. Luffy kisses her on her forehead and stands back up and joins his mother and Zoro on the dock.

"Your daughter looks like you kind of." Zoro says.

"Yeah, but she looks more like her mother and it hurts me. God I miss her mother." Luffy says looking down at the ground.

"Come on Luffy from what you told me it doesn't sound like your fault, so you need to stop beating yourself up about it." Zoro says.

Makino puts her hand on her son's shoulder to comfort him.

The three start walking around when Luffy runs into an orange haired girl sending the two of them two the ground with the girl on top of Luffy.

"Well what do we have here?" Zoro asks chuckling.

"H-Hi again Nami." Luffy says as their faces are inches from each other.

"Hi L-Luffy." Nami says. She hurries off Luffy.

"There she is!" The five look to see three pirates run up.

"Give us back our map thief!" One says.

"You three better leave before you get hurt." Luffy threatens.

"If anyone is going to get hurt it is you." A pirate says.

Luffy stretches his right hand out and summons his scythe which shocks Nami, but scares the three pirates. Luffy twirls it a bit in his hand and slams the butt of the shaft on the ground making a crater with a three foot radius and this scares the three which run away screaming. Luffy returns his scythe till summoned.

"Thanks." Nami says.

"That is twice now Nami." Luffy says chuckling.

"Twice?"

"Yep, that is twice that I've had to save you."

"Well then Luffy thanks. Are you guys hungry?"

"Yes." Zoro says.

"Follow me." Nami says. The three follow Nami and Zoro gets lost and Nami tells Luffy and Makino about Orange Town and how Buggy has destroyed parts of the town. Luffy notices how much she doesn't like the word pirate.

"You don't like pirates?" He asks.

"No! They are horrible people who I think should all be killed or locked away." She says heatedly.

"So. You think I should as well?" He says shocking her that he is a pirate and then feels bad about comparing him to other pirates after seeing what he had done back at Shells Town.

"Luffy…I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Nami says. Luffy uses his observation haki to read her feeling why she doesn't like pirates and figures out why.

"It's okay Nami. Those other pirates give some of us good ones bad names and I can understand why you hate pirates. I hate them for the same reason. I lost someone really close to me and it hit me really hard and have been having a hard time accepting that she is gone." Luffy says trying not to break down crying in front of Nami. Makino hugs her son to help him with a concern look in her eyes. Nami is shocked that the same thing happened to Luffy, but he has been taking it harder than she did when she lost her mother. Luffy has an image of a woman with red hair and blue eyes flash through his mind. He walks over to the window and grips the window sill and his knuckles turn white trying to keep back his emotion. Nami walks up and puts her hand on his hand and she notes that he relaxes.

"Hey Nami I have a question for you." Luffy says in a solemn tone.

"What is it Luffy?"

"Would you like to join my pirate crew? And I can help you with your mission that you have been doing for your village." Luffy says shocking her that he knows.

"H-How do you know?"

"I can read your emotions and feelings. I will be more than happy to help free your village." Luffy says turning to look her in her eyes.

"I can't let you."

"Let me do it as a friend."

"I can't Luffy."

"Alright. I will still go after Arlong whether you want me to or not." Luffy says shocking her that he is still going to go after Arlong.

"So I guess that there is no stopping you then?"

"No."

"Well I guess that you can help me. I need to steal Buggy's treasure."

"Okay. Here you go." Luffy says handing her some rope.

"What's this for?"

"You tie me up and take me to Buggy saying that you are fed up with me being your boss and that you want to join Buggy's crew so that you can steal their treasure." He says.

"That might actually work."

-Buggy's base-

"What you lost her!" Buggy screams and the three pirates cower.

"It's not our fault, there was this guy in a red button up shirt with a black tie and black pants who summoned a scythe and made a three foot crater with the butt of the scythe." One pirate says. Buggy freezes I his tracks and whirls on the three.

"Did you say that he summoned a scythe? Was he wearing a straw hat and have red eyes?" Buggy asks pale.

"Yes." The three say.

'What is the Reaper doing here? Why is he in East Blue?' Buggy thinks going into his circus tent.

"Captain!" A pirate yells running up.

"What?" Buggy yells.

"The girl who stole the map is here." The pirate says.

"Oh ok-what?!" Buggy asks shocked.

Nami walks up leading Luffy. She pushes him and he falls to the ground.

"Here is your map back captain Buggy." Nami says.

"Thanks, but why the change girl?" Buggy asks.

"I got fed up with my boss." Nami says.

"What is your name girl?" Buggy asks.

"Nami, captain Buggy." Nami says.

"Nami! How could you betray me!" Luffy yells from the ground as a pirate had his foot on Luffy's head to keep him down.

"Kyahh! Kyahh! Let's have a toast to Nami joining us. Let's have look at your boss's face." Buggy says lifting Luffy's head. Buggy looks and is soon standing ten feet away from Luffy sweating and pale and is horrified that it is the Reaper.

"Captain what's wrong?" The crew asks shocked that Buggy has horror written all over his face. This shocks Nami and Luffy is laughing on the inside.

"Put him in a damn cage and tie him up with more rope!" Buggy orders.

"Yes captain." The crew says and ties Luffy up in more rope and they put him in a cage. Nami is a little worried about Luffy.

"Boys bring out the Buggy bombs!" Buggy says still pale.

"Yes captain." Some pirates say and appear with a cannon and a cannon ball that has the Buggy pirates jolly roger on it. The cannon is pointed at Luffy and Nami is scared about how fast the plan is deteriorating.

"Here you go Nami. To prove yourself of joining us, fire this cannon at your old boss." Buggy says horrifying her. She stands there with a box of matches in her hands.

"Go ahead and fire it Nami." Luffy says shocking her.

"I-I can't."

"Nami do it. Remember what's at stake. Light the cannon." Luffy says. Nami's eyes widen at what he said. She pulls a match out and strikes it and looks at Luffy, who nods for her to continue. She lights the fuse and steps back and she sees Zoro appear and he runs for the cannon, but he is too late. The cannon goes off with an almighty boom destroying the thirty houses that were behind Luffy and Nami drops to her knees and tears appear in her eyes.

"Luffy." She says as a tear runs down her cheek.

"Kyahh! Kyahh!"'The Reaper is dead.' Buggy laughs.

*Cough*Cough* "Wow that sucker has quite the punch." A voice says. Buggy stops laughing and chokes on his spit and pales as well as Nami thinking that she is hearing a ghost. The dust and smoke clears and they see Luffy stand and brush the dirt and dust off his clothes.

"L-Luffy?" Nami asks as there are still tears running down her cheeks.

'How did he survive? He must be a devil to have survived that.' Buggy thinks horrified to see Luffy standing and walking closer. He walks up to Nami and gives her his hand and he helps her to her feet. Buggy uses this chance to attack, but Zoro cuts him to pieces and Nami is shocked.

"What a weakling." Zoro says. Luffy walks over to Buggy with his sword drawn that no one saw him summon.

"Ha! Nice try in fooling me Buggy, but I know about your Devil Fruit ability to separate into pieces." Luffy says as he drives his sword through Buggy's hand.

"Ahhh!" Buggy screams shocking Nami and Zoro as he floats I the air still in pieces and sees his hand on the ground with Luffy's sword sticking in it and bleeding.

"Nami go get their treasure." Luffy says since she was close to him.

"Okay." She says. She sneaks away and onto their ship looking for their treasure.

"My hand!" Buggy yells in pain as he sees his hand bleeding. Luffy pushes harder and his sword goes all the way through and sinks five inches into the ground making more blood come out. Luffy pulls his sword out of Buggy's hand.

"You brat! You'll pay for that!" Buggy says pissed.

"We'll see about that clown." Luffy says summoning his scythe making Buggy horrified and pale.

'It is the Reaper! He is going to kill me!' Buggy cries scared of Luffy.

Luffy starts fighting Buggy, well more of mocking Buggy by using the shaft of the scythe to beat Buggy and hurt him. Nami walks out and is surprised at how easy Luffy is putting the beat down on Buggy. Everyone watches as Luffy lunges and at the last second summon his sword earning a gasp from Zoro who stares at the sword.

"What?" Nami asks.

"That is one of the seven legendary swords. The Nodachi." Zoro says a little pale at seeing the sword. She turns back in time as the sword goes right through Buggy and sticks out by four feet and is covered in blood shocking everyone. Buggy's hunched over as Luffy has his head right next to Buggy's ear.

"Next time that I hear that you are terrorizing a village or town like Orange Town I will not hesitate to come and kill you. That I promise." Luffy says in Buggy's ear.

"You have my word Reaper that I won't do this again." Buggy says. Luffy pulls his sword out of Buggy, who drops to the ground and passes out from loss of blood Luffy stands there as Buggy's blood drips off the sword. He turns around and walks to Zoro and Nami.

"Nami, Zoro let's go. We are leaving." Luffy says walking past and sheathing his sword. Nami and Zoro turn and follow Luffy to the harbor where Makino is waiting. The four walk onto the Genesis and lower the sails and leave Orange Town and head for the next island that Luffy heard from Yasopp is his home island and that his son should be there.
