Buggy the Clown
Luffy felt very confused at the moment when he awoke with a headache trying to remember the past events. His alliance with Nami, an explosion, a kiss, then the raiders busted the door down and knocked him unconscious… "Wait what?" Luffy thought thinking back to his training with Vegapunk and then his fight with Alvida he had taken blows to the head before and simply kept going without a care in the world. But a simple shot from the butt of a gun had knocked him cold. Why?
Luffy went to stand up but found himself in a very cramped cage with all his body in pain, he hadn't felt this type of pain since before his time with Vegapunk as he looked at the blue and black splotches all over his body. Luffy's eyes widened as he went to pull at his nose only for it not to move. He wasn't rubber anymore… Luffy panicked as he looked out of his cage to see a large group of nearly fifty men around his drinking and laughing around him. Luffy thought to Nami for a moment, the navigator would probably be in roughly the same condition as he himself, before freaking out and attempting to break out of the cage only succeeding in paining himself more.
"Nami where are you?!" Luffy screamed out causing all the raiders to stop their merriment and eye him dangerously. There were many whispered words before a man started pushing his way past the raiders to stand in front of Luffy.
He was of average height maybe slightly taller than Luffy himself with three pony tails shooting up in different directions on his head adding to his height. His hair looking to be a natural brunette with a poor bright blue dye running through it dripping to the lower part of his sad clown face makeup. His most noticeable trait on his face was his bulbous round red nose. His outfit consisted of baggy polkadot pants being held up loosely by a faded green belt and matching suspenders. He wasn't muscular but he wasn't scrawny either as he carried what looked like a cannon on his back.
"Gyahahaha so this is the bastard that knocked the shit out of Bobo and his crew? Scrawny little shit isn't he? I've seen Bobo take down a full grown Yoa Guai and this runt takes down him and his crew? Tell me boy how did you do it?" The man questioned the captive Luffy who stared blankly at the man. Luffy couldn't help what came next as his silence exploded into a torrid of laughter causing everyone present to shake their heads while sweating. The man in front of Luffy crouched and scowled at Luffy holding three knives in his fingers like a claw before gliding them across the bars of Luffy's cage.
"Did I say something funny? What the fuck are you laughing at?!" The man spat with venom as he figured where he was going to stick his knifes in the boy. Luffy continued to laugh hysterically before calming down enough to choke out a few words.
"Your hahahahaha! Your nose! It's so red and puffy!" Luffy choked out as he continued to laugh causing all the men to back away from the man in front of Luffy in fear of the man's temper about the certain subject.
"How dare you laugh at my fucking nose you brat I'll cut you to ribbons!" The man roared as he reached into stab Luffy in the gut but before he could touch the still laughing Luffy an arm caught his. Buggy looked to Luffy's savior with a livid expression before scowling at her.
"Not like that Buggy." Nami stated as she let go of Buggy's arm before he cut her own arm to ribbons. She looked down to Luffy with an annoyed stare before turning back to the clown who had finally formed words through his rage.
"Ms. Nami a warning if you ever stop me from executing a man again I'll have you take his place…" Buggy fumed out as he turned his view back to Luffy and tried thrusting his hand back at the Straw hatted boy.
"I was just trying to persuade you into a more flashy execution for this idiot, but if you insist." Nami said causing Buggy to once again stop his movement and smile at her wickedly.
"Flashy? You know I love flashy… what do you have in mind?" Buggy questioned putting his three knives away and turning towards Nami.
"Maybe take him out with a Mini Nuke?" Nami smiled evilly as she tapped the launcher on Buggy's back causing the clown to chuckle grimly.
"Gyahahaha not a bad idea! Nothing more flashy than vaporization…" Buggy said as he told him men to scoot back a healthy distance walking away himself leaving Nami and a quiet Luffy. Luffy looked up to Nami with blank eyes as she looked down at him with the same annoyed face.
"I'm sorry Luffy he has the map and I need it back I… I'm going to join his crew… good bye." Nami said biting her lip as she turned away from him in shame.
"I understand you need that map for the money it will bring you. I hope everything works out for you Nami." Luffy said smiling brightly as he stretched his arms feeling the pain dissipate slightly. Nami looked back at him devastated by his words, why didn't he hate her? She strengthened herself and continued on till she was standing by Buggy a great distance away from Luffy.
"Normally I wouldn't use a mini nuke to take care of a single person but this kid really pisses me off…" Buggy muttered as he loaded the launcher taking the time to make sure everything was perfect, while it was a great weapon mini nuke launchers or Fat Boys as they were called in the waste were wide known for malfunctioning and killing their owners in a mushroom cloud of their own creating.
"Whatever just… just do it." Nami spoke softly but the sadness in her voice was evident as Buggy turned to her with surprise.
"You know I didn't give a lot of question to why Straw Hat over there saved your life. I mean your incredibly… built any man would rush to try and impress and take advantage of that but now seeing those sad eyes… Your head isn't in the game is it Ms. Nami?" Buggy chuckled darkly as he saw the girl freeze up for a couple seconds before throwing on a façade.
"Me? I'm right her Buggy. I'll kill the idiot myself if that's what you want." Nami said confidently as Buggy grinned at her sadistically before pushing the Fat Boy into her arms causing Nami's eyes to widen.
"If you're here then kill the runt." Buggy sneered looking deep into the lying eyes of the woman in front of him. His hands went to his 3 knives and lifted them in front of him.
"Me? But I… I couldn't steal your kill I mean he… He insulted you…. And and I think that your men would like to see their leader take the idiots life not some new comer..." Nami said weakly as she held on to the very heavy Fat Boy which caused her almost to fall as Buggy closed the distance between them till his face was in her face.
"Consider this your initiation as well as personal favor to my greatness now do it! Do it or I'll stab your thieving ass and throw you to my men… You have no idea how much everyone would love to get to know you." Buggy smiled evilly as she watched Nami lift the heavy launcher onto her shoulder and aim it at Luffy. She watched through the targeting system as it locked on Luffy's position before she was merely a button press away.
Nami gulped as she looked at Luffy through the close up lens on the launcher, the boy was still suffering from radiation poisoning if only she could stall for another few minutes. Nami gulped as she felt the cold but sharp knives of Buggy press lightly on her abdomen as the insane clown looked at her through sadistic eyes. Nami did the only thing she could think to do as she swung the launcher at Buggy who merely dodged it and countered cutting into her forearm causing the thief to scream and fall to the ground in pain.
"NAMI!" Luffy screamed as he felt rage burn inside him as he grabbed the bars on the cage and slowly but surely bent them so he could escape. He looked to Nami as she was kicked down by Buggy who went to grab the launcher for himself and aim it at Luffy.
"Stupid woman! You just fucked everything up! Now watch as your little friend dies flashily! GYAHAHA!" Buggy screamed madly as he looked down the sight only to see an empty cage he lowered the sight to inspect where he went when he heard screaming from the sidelines.
The buggy raiders watched in horror as a man with three swords cut a path through their ranks and ran at Buggy all readying their guns before two men stopped their attack warning that they would shoot Buggy himself.
Buggy looked to the swordsman rapidly approaching and then to Nami who now had the free Luffy standing by her with his hat falling into his eyes a frown on his face. Buggy grimaced slightly before putting away his knives and pressing buttons on a device on his wrist. As Zoro finally reached Buggy to strike he was shocked to see that the man had disappeared into nothing.
"Shit he has a stealth boy!" Nami screamed as Luffy gave a questioning look and Zoro slashed around randomly as the shuffling in the dirt let him know where the clown was. Zoro was a trained swordsmen but even he had trouble when opponents used the device which turned the user invisible for a short duration.
The RobCo Stealth Boy 3001 is a personal stealth device worn on one's wrist. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other making the bearer almost invisible to the untrained eye.
Zoro looked for the shuffling of the dirt to see where Buggy's had gone but it was too late as he hear the sound of blades being drawn and the agony of being stabbed straight through the right of his abdomen. Buggy flickered back into visibility with a grim smile on his face before a rubber fist knocked him back several feet and on to his back.
"ZORO! Are you ok?" Luffy said at the slumped over swordsman but before he could get a reply he quickly picked up both Zoro and a protesting Nami and ran as the raiders started firing at them. As they shot Luffy turned briefly and watched as the majority of them fall to the ground unconscious. Two raiders walked slowly out of the crowd of unconcious promising to hunt and kill the three.
Luffy stopped running as soon as he felt that they were safe from the bullets that could be heard in the distance. The three quickly taking refuge in an abandoned house with Zoro slumping against a wall, his blood running down the wall as he slowly sat down. Nami quickly opened her pack and pulled out a MedKit and a few Stimpacks and ripped off Zoro's already raggedy shirt revealing all of Zoro's still healing wounds and his new ones.
"Hey women what do you think you're doing? I can handle this." Zoro said stubbornly as he pushed her away and attempted to stand only for Nami to smash her fist into his head.
"No you idiot how the hell are any of these cuts fine? Half of them are infected and the other half will be infected soon now lie down and shut the fuck up!" Nami screamed causing Zoro to shrink a bit before looking to Luffy with an angry scowl on his face.
"Luffy who the hell is this bitch?!" Zoro screamed causing Nami eyes to go white with rage and hit Zoro multiple times in the head comically as Luffy sat off to the side laughing at his friend's antics.
"Oh yeah Zoro this is Nami. Nami this is Zoro. " Luffy said with a smiled causing both of them to turn their anger on the rubber man screaming curses at him while Luffy laughed. It took a moment for things to calm down and with the help of half a bottle of whiskey and half a hit of Med-X, a needle injected painkiller, Zoro had calmed down enough for Nami to start operating on him.
"What the fuck happened to this guy?" Nami gasped as she looked at the numerous slashes across his chest, wounds that hadn't even been properly cared for some not even sewn up. Nami felt repulsed by the dark purple color of his wounds quickly stabbing multiple Stimpacks into the man's chest. Luffy looked on in morbid fascination stars practically appeared in his eyes as he imagined the battle that had done that to the swordsmen.
Nami quickly looked over to Luffy who seemed to be day dreaming wishing she could smack him but currently she was busy attempting to fix up the swordsmen. She hoped she had enough bandages and stitching knowing this would be bloody she looked to Luffy.
"Umm Luffy this isn't going to be pretty, I have enough Stimpacks to fix this but this is going to get messy. I think you should keep watch outside because as soon as I start I won't be able to stop or we might lose him you understand?" Nami asked looking to Luffy who jumped up from his sitting position a serious expression on his face.
"I understand try to keep him quiet if he starts screaming… I'm going to try to draw them all to the other side of town. Take care of Zoro Nami I'll be back as soon as I can." Luffy turned to leave opening the door to leave.
"Luffy wait! Buggy's launcher… The radiation you can't handle it you weren't born in the wastes you can barely handle a subtle dose but if a heavy dose like that hits you again it could… kill you. Be careful please." Nami begged not turning to look at him as she pulled a horribly stitched stitching out of one of the swordsman's wounds.
"Shishishi don't worry so much he will never touch me with that thing again!" Luffy smiled as he closed the door behind him leaving Zoro and Nami hoping no one had tracked them to this spot. The last thing he needed is for Buggy to launch one of those explosions at the house they were hiding out in. Luffy used his gear second to dash away just as he had to get here till he was on the other side of town.
"There you are Straw Hat!" A man screamed as he jumped off the roof of a building landing on the ground with a loud boom he was a wild looking man with white hair jutting out from everywhere giving the appearance of fur. He let out a low growl as he set his eyes on Luffy. Luffy for his part stood in wonderment at the man's wonderful ability to grow hair and was tempted to applaud it but his thoughts were cut off as a loud whistle made him cover his ears.
A roar that would make a normal man shit himself came from behind a building as loud movement moved towards their position. It was a large cat like beast with scarred flesh, no hair, half a tail, and enlarged claws and teeth. It growled menacingly as it approached the both of them. The wild man looked at Luffy's face and mistook it for a stunned silent face.
"Hahaha I see your stunned with fear from Richie don't worry though he won't be killing you Buggy has ordered us to bring you, the swordsman, and the bitch back alive. But he didn't say that I couldn't rough you up before that. Now any last words before you die to Wild Man Moji!" Moji screamed out as he waited for a response but Luffy was silent .
"That's an ugly kitty…" Luffy finally spoke blankly clearly offending both Moji and Richie who both looked down in devastation. Moji let out one more battle cry before throwing himself at Luffy in rage. Luffy dodged each of the attacks before punching Moji in the abdomen hard enough to cause the wild man to cough up blood. Moji back flipped backwards and whistled at Richie to attack.
Richie quickly went to tackle Luffy knocking the rubber man off his feet and on to the ground his sharp claws and teeth went straight for Luffy's neck but the rubber man held his claws away with his arms while head head-butted the creature knocking a tooth loose causing the beast to roar in pain. Luffy expanded his body into a balloon launching the cat off him and on to the ground. Moji had already come back and dived at Luffy with a knife he carried Luffy grabbed the man by the hair and slammed him into the ground beside him as Luffy stood looking for the mutated cat. A noise from behind him alerted him to the cats presence but it was too late as Richie bit into his shoulder while ripping his claws over Luffy's back causing Luffy to scream in pain. As quickly as Luffy had stood he slammed down on his back in an attempt to crush Richie. Richie whimpered in pain as he let go of Luffy blood leaking from Luffy's back as he stumbled forward.
"Heh… heh… heh… not bad Straw Hat… but after you made the rest of the crew pass out its only expected that you're a freak of nature. I think after Buggy tortures you I will skin you alive and make a pelt out of you!" Moji growled out as he lunged forward with his knife and slashed at Luffy's neck, only for Luffy to grab his arm and flip him onto the ground. A painful snap could be heard ad Moji cried in pain. Luffy kicked him in the back of the head hard enough to slam him into the ground. Richie let out another whimper as the beast crawled over to Moji's practically dead corpse and licked his face.
"Don't worry ugly cat, fur dude isn't dead… just in a lot of pain." Luffy spoke as he walked over to the beast and gave it a mournful but reassuring pet. The creature growled lowly but laid down near his master not wanting to fight any longer. Luffy gave the beast a good bye pat before walking back towards Nami and Zoro.
An Explosion blew up the nearest building to him and seconds later another as shrapnel and debris flew at Luffy hitting knocking him to the ground. Luffy looked back just in time to see a large piece of building flying at Richie and Moji surely going to kill them. Luffy activated Second Gear and caught the piece of building before it could hit the two allowing Richie enough time to pull Moji away while Luffy's world darkened. Radiation.
Luffy cursed inwardly as he felt his skin tingly painfully he tried to run away from it but the layer of radiation was so thick he seemed to be caught in a fog. Luffy felt his open wounds sting painfully as he fell to his knees breathing hard.
"Kyahahaha! I have never seen such an Idiot have you Cabaji? You actually saved your enemy? How pathetic!" A voice laughed through the fog, Luffy felt like he knew the voice but his mind was sluggish and dark his eyes were open so wide but he could see so little.
"It was noble for you to save Moji and his stupid cat but nobility is dead boy… As will you in a moment…" Another voice spoke this one unfamiliar to Luffy but this one seemed closer to him. Luffy felt the tip of a blade poke at his side just deep enough to draw blood causing Luffy to grunt in pain and launch his fist around him. Cabaji dodged out of the way easily smirking so much for this man's strength.
"Almost got me not bad for one suffering radiation sickness… I actually think we will be doing you a favor killing you now." Cabaji mocked as he kicked Luffy in the face hearing the crunch of his nose being smashed. Luffy's hands went to his nose in pain as he tried to fight back, there was now a numbness in his system that was working its ways up his legs. Luffy stood up and was quickly knocked off his feet by a swift kick to his legs.
"Don't hurt him too much Cabaji! I want this bastard to know pain… I want him to beg me for his life! Then I want to kill that stupid slut and swordsman in front of him… only then will I allow him to d!" Buggy was cut of as he felt a blade pierce his backside, he looked down and watched the blade go straight through him.
"AAAAAAHHH! FUCK FUCK FUCK!" Buggy screamed as he pulled himself forward off the blade and aimed his pistol behind him and watched as the blade cute the barrel off his gun. A heavily bandaged weak looking Zoro stood there wiping the blood of his blade.
"You got a cheap shot in last time clown… I'm going to kill you for that." Zoro roared as he pulled his sword over his head watching as Buggy screamed and cried. A sadistic smile grew across Zoro's face as he slashed down only for his blade to be interrupted by Cabaji.
"If you want Buggy you will have to go through me." Cabaji said threateningly earning a smirk from Zoro. Zoro drew back his sword and tied his bandana to his head giving him a devilish smile.
"Heh don't worry I was planning on killing all of you! Hey bitch, go make sure Luffy is alright!" Zoro roared as he threw himself at Cabaji easily pushing the other swordsmen back on to defense as Buggy wailed on the ground.
"I should have let you die asshole!" Nami raged as she was tempted to smack the man and leave him for Buggy to kill she rushed passed him to Luffy whose skin had almost started peeling despite the light radiation. All Nami felt was a slight nausea from the thin level although the radiation had had some time to disperse Luffy could have gotten a pretty heavy dose. Nami quickly injected a RadAway to Luffy she wondered if it was too soon for another injection and hoped that he wouldn't suffer addiction.
"Hey Luffy? Can you hear me?" Nami asked quietly close to his ear only earning a groan as she lifted his surprisingly light body up and pulled him to a radiation free zone. She pulled off his Straw hat and checked his head seeing that he was running a fever and was slightly drooling blood.
"Nami?" Luffy whispered as he moved his head to look Nami in the eyes. His vision had started to return as he orange locks came into view.
"Yeah it's me you idiot…" Nami spoke quietly as she made sure the radaway was doing its job while she cleaned his neck and back lacerations.
"You smell nice…" Luffy whispered as he sniffed loudly causing the orange haired girl to blush before hitting him.
"That's not something you say right now! I told you to stay away from the radiation you idiot you could have died." Nami said kissing Luffy's head and watching as his energy returned. Luffy hopped up off the ground not worrying about the cuts from Richie and stretched.
"Shishishishi much better! Nami stay nearby if that bulb nosed bastard shoots one of those things I want you within grabbing distance so we can get out of here alright?" Luffy ordered as he looked to Nami who gave a confident nod. He turned to Buggy who had gotten up and hobbled away towards his Fat Man. Luffy caught Buggy before he could get to the weapon knocking the man into the ground with a crunch.
"Not this time big nose! I'm gonna kick the crap out of you for stabbing Zoro!" Luffy screamed as he kicked Buggy into the air grabbed his shoulders and slammed him into the ground again. A pained wale could be heard as Buggy attempted to lift himself he looked over to Cabaji as he received yet another cut by Zoro it was obvious that Cabaji was out of his league.
"Wait! I… I have money and hostages Ill let you have it and let the hostages go if you just let us go! I'm sorry I'll leave just just let me go!" Buggy cried as he grabbed on to Luffy's ankle pleadingly. Luffy looked down at the man, his clown painting having run from tears and blood, and pulled his leg away from the man.
"Zoro… take his sword and break it… Nami grab all the weapons from the other raiders. Big nose you and your thugs free the hostages. Then. Get. The. Fuck. Out." Luffy ordered as he followed a crawling Buggy towards a building in the distance the pitiful man sniveled and sobbed all the way over there before clearing his throat as they got closer to the building.
"You're not what I expected from his brother. I met him twice he was terrifying as well but he was pure evil. Killing, raping, and torturing all things he did for fun. He wouldn't give a shit if I took a town hostage! Why aren't you like him!" Buggy screamed before Luffy picked him up and slammed him against the building livid eyes.
"What do you know?! Where is Ace and Sabo!" Luffy screamed as his grip smashed the muscles in Buggy's shoulders. Buggy cried out in pain as the bones started to crunch he jerked around in the rubber man's grip but to no avail.
"Who the fuck is Sabo?! I know Ace though. He is one hell of a raider, Whitebeard's second general Hell Storm Ace. He helped me sneak away with that Fat Man and let me loose to cause problems all over the NCR. He's one hell of a flashy guy compared to your shitty ass!" Buggy screamed out as he felt Luffy's fist close farther.
"You're lying! My brother isn't a raider he couldn't have let a monster like you who kills for fun!" Luffy screamed a brief image of the night Ace had left cut through his mind like a nice causing Luffy to let go of Buggy and fall to the ground in pain.
"AAAHH Ace! You… why would you! Ugh my head I'm losing it! Shit shit shit… Vegapunk warned me about this… Run you big nosed bastard!" Luffy howled as he clutched his head as his head felt like it was splitting in two. Buggy got up and snickered grimly as he grabbed a knife he hid in his shoe and moved to kill Luffy.
"You've made a serious mistake Straw Hat! You fucked with Buggy the clown! GYAHAHA Die flashily you bastard!" Buggy screamed as he moved to stab Luffy in the chest but stopped. Pain ripped through Buggy before he could bring his knife any closer and his hand started to shake rapidly. As he looked down at the boy who was no longer holding his head but sitting there smiling up at Buggy as he fell to unconsciousness.
"Good bye clown rest in peace." An eerily calm Luffy whispered out his mind shadowed in his hate for his brother bringing about the consciousness Luffy had though died when he had last seen Ace. The monster that dwelled within him the one that craved death and destruction for something farther back something to do with Sabo. He couldn't remember exactly but something in him wanted to watch the world die.
"Hey Luffy what's taking so long? Oh… you killed him? Good riddance can I kill the rest?" Zoro spoke noticing the creepy smile that Luffy wore but not caring. It wasn't in Zoro's nature to let raiders leave alive. Everyone knew raiders never changed.
"Zoro no stay back! I need a second! To gather myself please!" Luffy said as he pushed back the monster who breathed the toxin Vegapunk had told him about.' Salvation by calamity… those who weren't killed by the virus would inherit the earth' the words of Vegapunk went through his head. Luffy quickly pulled himself back together not wanting to hurt anyone.
"Zoro Buggy was sick burn his body before anyone touches it. I'll let the hostages out." Luffy walked towards the door as Zoro took a piece of his bandage from his chest dipped it into his whiskey, lit a match and tossed the combination at Buggy's dead corpse. Luffy unlocked the door to see a bunch of starved townspeople flood out saying thank and headed to find food. The Wasteland life was too short for debts so the town's people expressed what little thanks they could. Luffy then walked to Zoro who was watching buggy's body burn and stood next to him.
"What happened to him Luffy?" Zoro asked taking a swig out of a newly open bottle of whiskey.
"I killed him on accident…" Luffy said pushing his Straw hat over his eyes. He never wanted to kill the raider punish him yes but kill? Never on the agenda.
"He was scum Luffy don't feel bad over it. I's sure how you killed him or how it was an accident but I think if we are going to travel together I deserve to know what exactly you are." Zoro said seriously before chuckling slightly.
"You don't have to tell the bitch." Zoro laughed out before an empty pistol hit Zoro in the back of the head. He held his head in pain and drew his sword only to see Nami sticking her tongue out at him. She flicked his sword and walked towards Luffy.
"I'm guessing Buggy didn't make it? Don't look so down Luffy he was a monster those hostages you freed were only a quarter of what the town used to be. He and his crew had killing the rest… He deserved what he got." Nami said as she patted the boy on the back. He gave her a weak smile before turning and walking away from the corpse looking to the four Brahmin packed with guns and valuables that Nami had claimed.
"So what is the next town Nami?" Luffy said trying to push his accident to the back of mind. Nami pulled out a small map and a compass before looking to Luffy's arm and noticing his pip boy and going starry eyed.
"Hey Luffy is that a Pip-boy?" Nami asked already knowing the answer but quickly pulling Luffy's arm over to her. She had only seen old broken ones in museums she had stolen from. Luffy's was in pristine condition minus a little grime and dust.
"Huh oh yeah I forget I'm wearing it sometimes it's not like others mine is umm how did Vegapunk say it? Impervious… yeah I think that's what he said! He said since it was a part of my clothes when I was vaporized that it gained my ability as well." Luffy said as he pressed a button that showed dairies from Vegapunk that Luffy had neglected to read. Nami and Zoro both raised their eyebrows at the vaporized but Nami couldn't care less at the moment.
"Oh you forget huh? Well maybe I can hold on to it? I hear they are great for navigating!" Nami asked watching as Luffy thought for a second before detaching it from his arm and handing it to her.
"Sure just be careful with it ok? I've had it since I was little." Luffy smiled as Nami quickly attached it to her arm and began messing with the dials.
"The next town is Syrup village if we leave now we can make it there by sun down tomorrow night and don't worry about supply's I've got everything covered." Nami said climbing on top of one of the Brahmin as Zoro jumped on another and Luffy jumping on the last.
"Looks like you are useful… hmmm… I'm gonna nap wake me if there's trouble if not don't wake me." Zoro yawned as he laid down on the Brahmin his wounds feeling a lot better than they had yesterday but refusing to admit any gratitude to the witch.
"Ugh don't sleep too long ass do you realize how valuable this caravan is?" Nami said miffed at the idiot swordsman for his refusal to thank her. She looked back to Luffy who seemed deep in thought she wanted to ask but knew it wasn't her place.
"Hey Nami Zoro tomorrow we have to talk about something important but until then I'm gonna nap. Night Nami!" Luffy said yawning loudly before laying down on his Brahmin as well. Nami's eyes widened as she realized both protectors of her caravan had passed out.
"Hey idiots wake up! Ugh come on you can't leave me here to keep watch by myself!" Nami screamed into the darkening sky as the trio moved towards the next town
