"YOU LITTLE-" Buggy screamed before charging in a rage. Link prepared another attack, only for the clown to fall with a pained expression. Allistar and Damyin fell to the ground laughing at Luffy taking a cheap shot to Buggy's lower half. Zelda's un-composed chuckling added. Luffy turned hands on his hips.

"Don't forget, our fight's not over!" Nami sighed relieved. "Hey! Drop the loot and get outta here! He'll keep coming after you!"

"Leave the treasure!? Not a chance! I'm not gonna leave my treasure behind!" Nami yelled angrily.

"Your treasure...?" Buggy snarled.

"That's right! My treasure! I'm a master thief, and just stole it! Mine, mine, mine!"

Luffy smacked his fist into his palm with a 'okay!', while Link sweat-dropped.

"How is THAT justified? It makes no sense."

"I think because it was property of a Pirate, she thinks it's okay to steal from them." Allistar responded.

"But stealing is bad regardless of the reason!" Link yelled exasperated.

"CHOP-CHOP FESTIVAL!" interrupted their squabble. The Hylian's eyes wide as Buggy's entire body explodes.

"HA HA! It's like he was a guady pinata!" Edwedd yells laughing. Buggy drops to the ground in disbelief.

"I AM NOT A PINATA!"

"Could have fooled me." Alcid mutters to Damyin, barely keeping it together. Buggy moves to attack again, as Luffy panics.

"His feet aren't flying..." Luffy and Zelda mutter. Luffy takes the foot out of it's shoe and tickles it mercilessly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA ST-STOP!" Buggy giggles. The Hylians rolling on the ground, Alcid cracks a smirk.

"Diabolical, Captain."

"How do you like this?" Luffy slams the toes onto the ground, hard. "You're a tough old clown, aren't ya?"

Luffy pulls skin from his ankle.

"EEEYAAH!" Buggy screams turning back towards them. "Enough already! Cut it out!"

"The only one cutting it out...IS YOU!" Nami throws her bag into Buggy's face. Only for him to grab it out of her reach.

"Thank you, for returning my treasure."

"LET GO!"

"No you let go!"

The Hylians can only watch as the two argue with disbelief. Heads snapping when a voice responded.

"What did we sign up for?" Allistar asked with a sweat-drop. Damyin looks at him with a funny look. - 3 -

"World domination?" His lip quivered and turned into a barely concealed smirk. Allistar made a guffaw and turned back to the fight. Luffy's foot drilling into the clown's cheek.

"That was for the mayor!" He said wiping his cheek.

"Thank you, both of you for saving me." Nami said to Luffy and Link. responses of 'no problem' followed.

Zelda went to pick up the map, watching as Buggy got up AGAIN. Handing it over to Luffy. Link helped Nami round up Buggy's parts and tie them together.

"Hey...not so fast gum-gum boy!"

"Hmph! You still alive?"

"I'LL KILL YOU! COME TOGETHER CHOP-CHOP!" Buggy yelled and he shrank into a head with hands and feet. Damyin stifled a snort and Allistar had a look of 'what the heck!?'. And then Buggy flies yet again as Luffy's Gum-Gum Bazooka hits him in the face.

"Oi, vey..." Alcid mumbles hand on the side of his face.
