Chapter 6: In Comes Captain Buggy the Clown! Lucy's Way Too Dense...
"Boss! You came to save me!" a girl with orange hair and cinnamon eyes said to Lucy.
"Who the hell are you?" Lucy asked her.
"I'll leave the rest to you!" the girl said, leaving Lucy behind. 'Who was that?' she wondered. She looked behind her to see three pirates.
"She got away," one said.
"Don't matter, she left her boss behind," another added.
"Lookin' out for your subordinates, eh?" a third chimed in.
"Do you guys know where I can get food?" Lucy asked them.
"Don't screw around with us!" the biggest one said, knocking off her hat. Her eyes filled with anger.
"Rubber... Pistol!" she shouted, punching the one who knocked her hat, and caught her hat, placing it on it's rightful place.
"Don't touch my treasure with your dirty hands, you bastard," Lucy said.
"You bitch!" the two left said. Lucy merely punched them.
"You're really strong!" the girl said from on top of a roof,"You won with your bare hands!"
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
"I'm a thief who steals from pirates. My name is Nami. Wanna join forces?" she asked Lucy.
Lucy shook her head, "Not interested."
"W-Wait!" Nami said, following her, "I said wait!"
Lucy's stomach rumbled,"Now I remember," she said,"I'm really damn hungry!"
Nami smiled, "How about I treat you?" Lucy jumped to her feet.
"Really?"
"Y-Yeah..."
~.~
Lucy was eating all all of the food that was there, just to fill her petite stomach.
"How can you eat so much? You're shorter and have better curves then me, so how does that work?" Nami asked as she watched Lucy stuff down the food.
Ignoring her question, she asked, "So, do you live alone here?" Nami shook her head.
"I don't live in this town, all the citizens ran away after Buggy and his crew came and took over the place," Nami explained.
Lucy nodded, "So you're doing a B&E."
Nami gave an offended look, "How rude! I'm a thief who robs pirates; don't compare me to a people who do B&Es."
Lucy swallowed her food, "But a thief is a thief, no matter who they steal from."
Nami gave a determined look, "No matter what it takes, I'll get one million Berries."
Lucy became curious, "What are you going to do with so much money?"
Nami put her pointer finger to her lips,"Secret," she hid her map under her shirt, "But if you have a map to the Grand line, one million Berries isn't just wishful thinking."
Lucy looked up, "Map? Are you a navigator?"
Nami nodded, "My skills are better than average navigators!"
Lucy stood up, "I see! Why don't you join me and my friend as our navigator?"
Nami grew excited, "Really?"
Lucy nodded, "Wooh! Another addition to the Pirate Crew!"
Nami turned serious, "No." They looked at each other, Nami broke the silence, "Humph, so you're a pirate?"
Lucy nodded, "I need to become a great pirate for someone whose really important to me," she said, looking at her hat.
Nami slammed her hands on the table, "There's nothing I hate more then pirates in this world! I only like money and tangerines!"
"Oh, come on. Be our navigator!"
"I said no."
Lucy sat back down, "Oh well," she said, eating more food. Nami looked out the window to see more of Buggy's pirates looking for her. 'Those guys... I have to do something.' She looked to Lucy.
"Well, if you do me a favor... I may join you," she said, intending on using Lucy for her own scheme.
Unfortunately for our innocent heroine, she was way too dense for her own good, "Really? I'll do anything!"
Nami smirked, "I want you to come with me to see Buggy, however..." she said as she grabbed rope.
~.~
"Why am I tied up?"
"It's just a rope. Is there a problem?"
Lucy pondered it for a second,"I guess it's not. I wouldn't mind meeting other pirates. Let's go!" she said, walking forward.
"Hey, wait for me!"
~.~
Nami and Lucy walked forward to Buggy's tent.
"That's her!"
"That's the one who stole the map!"
Nami pushed Lucy forward, her face hitting the ground.
"I have captured the thief, Captain Buggy the Clown. I'm returning the map," she said, handing the map to Buggy. Buggy checked it to make sure it was the real one, then set it aside.
"Thanks for returning the map," Buggy started, "but what made you change your mind?"
"I had a fight with my boss. I can't stand her anymore," she said, stepping back respectfully, "Let me join your crew." Everyone started sweating bullets.
"C-Captain Buggy is getting angry!" one whispered.
"The Devil's power will appear again," another muttered.
Suddenly, Buggy began to laugh hysterically, "Had enough of her? You're an interesting woman! I like you! You can join us!"
Nami inwardly sighed of relief, 'My plan worked. Pirates are so simple minded.'
~.~
"Why am I in a cage?" Lucy asked. Unfortunate for her, her innocent question was ignored.
Buggy laughed again, "I'm in a good mood, today. Woman, what is your name?"
"I'm Nami," she responded.
"Great! We'll have a party to flashily honor Nami! Let's have fun!" Buggy said, getting everyone excited.
"HAI!"
~.~
As everyone celebrated, they chugged down barrels of sake, dumped plates full of food in their mouth, and doing... well... all the crazy shit you expect these crazy circus lunatics to be doing, practically.
"What's wrong? This is your party. You should eat some more," said Buggy, who was chugging down a glass of sake.
Nami smiled, "Hai! Thank you very much," but on the inside, her devious mind was thinking, 'I just need to wait until the right time to get the map back...along with Buggy's treasure. I'll take it all.'
~.~
Lucy stretched her hand with all of her might, but she just barely couldn't reach the meat.
"I-I want to eat...too..." she tried to stretch farther, but her hand was at its limit, and it went back to normal.
Lucy sighed, "Shit."
~.~
Buggy laughed hysterically yet again, "I'm having such a great time," he performed the "superhero" pose, "Men! Prepare the Buggy Ball!" Everyone cheered. One of the men brought out the Buggy Cannon, and locked it in place. Another subordinate carried the "Buggy Ball" and set it inside the cannon.
"It's ready," Buggy said, smirking.
"What is this?" asked Nami.
"Watch the power of the Buggy Ball closely," he silently said, "Light it."
Another lit a match and lit the cannon. The crew watched in suspense as they waited for the cannon to fire. Nami watched in horror as the cannon shot down a whole row of houses.
~.~
"What was that explosion?" Zoro asked the three Buggy crew members he picked up on the way there.
"That was Buggy-sama's Buggy Ball," the subordinate said with fright.
Zoro smirked, "Buggy Ball?"
~.~
All of the subordinates cheered at the wreckage that was caused by the Buggy Ball; however, Nami had a look of complete horror and fear on her face.
Buggy smirked, "With the power of the Buggy Ball and the Devil Fruit Powers, I will rule the Grand Line..." he turned to Nami, "right, Nami?"
"Hai. Of course..." she responded weakly.
"Ehh?" Lucy whined from her cage, "I'm the one who's going to rule the Grand Line!" she said, slightly pissing Buggy off, "I'm gonna be the Pirate Queen."
"You idiot!" Nami yelled.
Buggy held back his laughter, "No wonder you can't stand her."
"That's right. She's always simple minded about everything. I couldn't stand her anymore," she agreed.
"True," Buggy started, "I guess I'll give you a present... by letting you blow up your old boss," Nami flinched, "It'll also test your loyalty. Prepare it!"
The Buggy Cannon was set just in front of Lucy.
"It-It's fine! Since this is a party, let's just go have more fun-"
Buggy gave her a terrifying look, "Do it. This is my way of partying," he said, handing her a box of Buggy Matches. Nami stared at it in disbelief. Everyone started cheering, saying, "Light it! Light it! Light it! Light it!" Nami began sweating, 'If I don't do it, I'll be killed, but if I shoot it, I'll be as low as pirates.'
"Let's light it up!" exclaimed Buggy, and people began cheering again. Lucy looked at Nami right in the eyes, just taunting her to light it. "Come on, Nami! Don't spoil the party!" Buggy yelled.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked, catching Nami's attention, "Your hands are shaking." Nami began sweating more.
"This is what happens when you aren't mentally prepared," Lucy explained.
Nami looked her in the eye, "What do you mean by, 'mentally prepared'? To kill people at will? Is that the way of the pirates?" Nami interrogated.
"No!" Lucy shook her head, "It's being prepared to risk your life."
One of the subordinates got so impatient, they took the matches from her hand.
"Oi, newcomer, don't make us wait," he said, lighting a match, "This is how you light it!" he said sarcastically. Nami quickly unsheathed her wooden pole and whacked the guy in the head when he lit it. There was a silence.
"What the hell are you doing, Nami?" demanded Buggy.
"Gomenosai," Nami said, bowing.
"What? What's the point in apologizing now?" he asked.
"What're you doing?" asked Lucy, "Didn't you just save me?"
"That's ridiculous!" protested Nami, "I just got excited and my hand slipped. I won't stoop to the same level as these pirates!"
"Oh... you got too excited," Lucy concluded.
"I'll never be like the pirates who took the life of the most important person in my life!" exclaimed Nami.
"Is that why..." pondered Lucy, "AAH! It's lit!" Lucy began to panic.
"Do you really think you can defy me, bitch?" Buggy asked. He sent four of his subordinates to attack her. Nami fought them off until she got to a certain distance from the cannon, then ran straight for the cannon, using her hands to try to unlight the cannon. She screamed in pain.
"Behind you!" yelled Lucy. Nami turned around to see the four subordinates attacking her from behind. She closed her eyes, preparing for the pain, but to find it never came. She looked to see that a certain green-haired man blocking the attackes with his swords (Can you guess who?).
"All these people attacking one girl?" Zoro pondered.
Lucy grinned, "Zoro!"
Zoro turned to Nami, "Are you injured?"
"N-no, I'm fine," Nami stuttered.
"Thank goodness!" Lucy exclaimed, "You were actually able to find me! Hurry up and get me out of here!"
"What on Earth are you doing?" asked Zoro, "A bird takes you away, and now you're in a cage?"
"Well," Lucy started, "It was really fun."
'The friend she was talking about...was the pirate hunter Zoro?'
"So you are Zoro. What do you want? Did you come for my head?" questioned Buggy.
"Nope. I quit being a pirate." Zoro answered.
"But I'm interested," Buggy said in a childish voice, "by killing you, I'd boost my reputation."
Zoro turned to Buggy, "Don't try, you'll die."
"Oh?" Buggy said, playing with his dagger, "Okay."
Zoro sighed, "I gues words won't make you understand." All of Buggy's crew began to cheer for Buggy. Buggy charged at Zoro; however, Zoro sliced Buggy to pieces.
"Waaaa! He's so weak!" Lucy exclaimed.
"No way..." Nami whispered, not believing that he was killed so easily. Suddenly, Buggy's crew began laughing. Lucy and Zoro exchanged confused looks.
"Wh...What's going on?" Nami pondered, "Their captain was killed and they're laughing."
"You!" Zoro exclaimed to the crew, "What's so funny?" Suddenly, Buggy reassembled and stabbed Zoro from behind.
"Zoro!" Lucy cried as she watched him fall to his knees.
"What's with that hand?" Nami said, pointing to Buggy's hand that was detached for the original body.
"What the hell is this?" Zoro yelled. He turned around and saw the hand, causing his eyes to widened.
"The Seperation Fruit," Buggy said, "That's the name of the Devil Fruit I ate," his hand and leg reattached, "It's impossible to kill me with swords! I'm a splitting man!"
"His body reattached! I thought that Devil Fruits were just a myth," Nami said.
"A splitting man? Is he a monster?" Lucy pondered. (- Rubber Girl)
"Though the wound isn't critical, it's still serious," Buggy said, referring to the wound he gave Zoro, "This fight is over." Buggy's crew began cheering.
'This is bad,' Nami thought, 'The situation has turned really bad. If we stay here, we won't be alive for long.'
"The situation isn't looking too good..." Zoro managed to mutter.
Meanwhile, Lucy was pissed. She tried to hold it back; however our idiot of a heroine doesn't seem to think of consequences, "TO ATTACK FROM BEHIND IS COWARDLY, BIG RED NOSE!"
It seemed like time had froze.
'Id...Idiot!' Nami thought, 'That's the worse thing you could've said!'
"Who...has...a...BIG RED NOSE?" Buggy screamed, launching his hand and dagger flying to Lucy.
"Lucy!" Zoro yelled.
...
"Oi, Buggy!" they heard Lucy say. Zoro sighed of relief. Buggy tensed when he saw Lucy had caught the dagger with her mouth.
"I'm gonna kick your sorry little ass!" Lucy exclaimed.
Buggy and his crew began laughing hysterically, "Kick my ass? You're dreaming!" Buggy began, "All three of you are gonna die today! Now, how should I finish you off?"
"No use, it's over," Nami said to herself, extremely scared of the situation.
Suddenly Lucy began laughing, "I'm not gonna die you bastard!" Lucy said, then continued to laugh, then she looked at Zoro, "Run, Zoro!"
Both Nami and Zoro looked up in surprise, "Nani?" Zoro asked to himself.
"He's telling the guy that came to save him to run away?" Nami asked, cofused, "What about you?" she asked to Lucy. Lucy just looked at Zoro, as if there was some hidden message in it.
Then Zoro's mind clicked. His shocked face turned into a smirk, "Roger."
'No good, I don't understand it,' Nami thought, 'This is why I hate pirates...'
"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Buggy yelled, charging at Zoro. Zoro held it off, then sliced Buggy, taking this chance to run to the cannon.
Meanwhile, Buggy was babbling, "Idiot, your three-sword-style has no effect on me-" he then noticed Zoro wasn't listening "-OI! Listen when I'm talking!"
Zoro used what was left of his strength to change the side the cannon was facing. Nami immediately switched the side she was on when the cannon was set. All of Buggy's crew members began screaming and yelling.
"Oi, light it," Zoro managed to say.
"Eh?" Nami asked.
"Hurry!" Zoro exclaimed.
"H-Hai!"
"EH? WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! THE BUGGY BALL IS STILL IN THERE!" Buggy yelled. Then Nami lit it. Lucy's face brightened with anticipation.
"YOU LIT IT!" Buggy said, stating the obvious.
Lucy, Zoro, and Nami waited for the cannon to fire.
sssssss...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

...ugh. I'm sorry I didn't get this up last night. I would've had it up by last night; however, fanfiction SPAZZED last night, all of my unsaved work undid itself. Luckily I was able to get it done today. I worked extra hard on this chapter, mostly because I felt bad that last chapter was all fluff(But according to the reviews, that was perfectly okay) but also because, for some peculiar reason, I really enjoyed writing this chapter. I'm really surprised this chapter passed the 3,000 mark for words. Anyways, please R&R, and I'll see ya at the next chapter!
