Chapter 13
We were walking along when Nami starts talking. I look down wanting to listen to this.
"Luffy, why aren't you hurrying? The mayor could be dead and yet here you are taking your time. You don't even seemed worried about the mayor." I shrug and focus on the sounds coming from the tavern while also listening to their conversation. Luffy then starts talking.
"It's because of Bat." I glance to see Nami's reaction. She has her eyebrow raised.
"What?" Zolo then buts in.
"Not a what, but a who?" Now Nami was even more confused. She throws her hands up in the air in frustration.
"JUST WHO IS THIS BAT PERSON!?" Luffy laughs and then starts talking out loud seemingly to nobody, but he was actually talking to me. He just looks up to the sky though.
"Hey Bat? Do you hear this? The thief hasn't even noticed you yet. Should you feel insulted or complemented by this?" I don't say or react in anyway. (I'm kind of insulted though. I mean Luffy noticed me a long time ago, and he is really bad at detecting where I am. So having a thief not find me was insulting.) Zolo laughs.
"I guess you insulted him Nami." Nami hmphs. "Luffy should we have Bat give Nami a hint about his whereabouts?" Luffy shrugs.
"That's Bat's choice. He can come out when he wants to." Nami looks between the two and says.
"Is he just really shy? And why haven't you mentioned him before?" Zolo scoffs.
"He is not shy. You are way off the mark. Bat scares even me. He is the scariest person on the planet. Even scarier than Whitebeard." Nami then starts looking very nervous. I sigh. (Zolo don't make me seem like that.) I teleport to the right of Luffy. Nami was looking at Zolo so when she looked forward again she sees me. Nami then screams at my appearance. We all stop to look at her. I have my hands in my pockets and just calmly watch her make heads or tails of this situation. She points at me and starts yelling.
"Who are you? Are you Bat?" I raise my eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure my name is Bat. Are you alright?" Luffy laughs. Nami's mouth hangs open like a fish trying to get air. My question finally registers in her mind. She coughs and swipes off invisible dust from her shirt and skirt.
"I am perfectly fine, thank you. Now I have a question for you?" I look back the way we were heading.
"Shoot for it. Though it doesn't mean I'll answer." She looks at me cautiously and then speaks her mind. (This girl is too cautious. She is hiding something herself.)
"How did you get here without me noticing? And how long have you been here with us?" I look at her and smirk. Then I continue on the path we were going.
"That's two questions." Luffy says then jogs to catch up to me. I can feel the girl's stare into my back. Soon Nami and Zolo catch up to us. (This is going to be fun teasing her.) Smiling to myself I teleport back to my original place on the rooftops as we reach the tavern. I hear Nami gasp. (Yup, this is going to be fun messing with her head.) Luffy and Zolo start laughing as they figure out what I'm doing. They stop laughing as they see the mayor floating in the air being held by Buggy's detachable hand. The mayor then shouts.
"I WON'T LET YOU WRECK THIS TOWN! COME DOWN AND FIGHT ME!" Buggy's arm then twitched and he looked to the mayor. Luffy is there holding Buggy's hand away from the mayor. Buggy glares and speaks.
"THE KID IN THE STRAW HAT!" Luffy then grins up at Buggy.
"I'm back. I told you I'd clobber you."
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT! YOU TWO MUST ENJOY PAIN, BUT THIS TIME YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME!" Nami looks at Zolo.
"Have fun fighting, boys… I'm just here for the map and treasure."
"Whatever." The mayor tries to stand.
"You young whipper- snappers… you're outsiders…cough…not your fight! This is my battle! IT'S MY TOWN AND I'LL PROTECT IT! SO DON'T INTERFERE!" Luffy then smashes the mayor's face into a lamppost nearby. Nami becomes shocked.
"MAYOR!" Buggy was just confused. I chuckle. Nami then continues yelling.
"WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO THE MAYOR?" Luffy then grins.
"He was in the way." Zolo looks down at the mayor.
"Good thinking… he would have gotten himself killed… he'll be safer unconscious. Nami the starts yelling at Luffy.
"YOU'RE TOO RECKLESS!" Luffy ignores her and turns to Buggy and his crew.
"HEY YOU! BIG NOSE!" Buggy and his crew, Nami and Zolo all looked at Luffy shocked. I see their faces and burst out laughing. I nearly fell off the roof because their faces where so hilarious. Buggy then becomes furious.
"KILL HIM! GIVE 'IM THE BUGGY BALL! FIRE!" Nami then yells at Luffy while trying to get out of the way.
"YOU IDIOT! DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP!" Zolo tries to warn Luffy.
"LUFFY GET OUT OF THE WAY! YOU'RE GONNA GET HIT!" (At least he has one concerned crew mate.) Luffy smirks as it zooms closer.
"That measly cannonball's not going to work on me!" Luffy sucks in a whole bunch of air and blows up like a balloon effectively catching the Buggy ball. Nami looks on shocked. (Lets hope she won't be in a permanent state of shock from this day alone.) The Buggy pirates start shouting.
"What the heck is that guy?"
"He took a direct hit from a Buggy ball!" Luffy then bounced the ball back at them. "And he bounced it back!" Zolo holds his head and grimaces.
"You could have at least told us what you where planning." The whole tavern then explodes. (At least I get to see people blow up this time.) I smile. Luffy puts his knocked off hat back on his head and smiles at his accomplishment.
"That evens the odds a little! Let's get 'em." Nami sat there kneeling and yelled at Luffy.
"What are you!?" Zolo sighs.
"Made me worry for nothing…" I smirk. (This day is not even over by a long shot.)
