Stepping out of the boat, Zoro looked around the harbor, "C'mon, take me to you captain, maybe he knows where Luffy is."
"THE MAP OF THE GRAND LINE IS MINE AGAIN! AND WE HAVE A NEW CREWMATE, EVERYBODY RAISE A GLASS! LIVE IT UP MEN! HERE'S TO OUR CONQUEST!"
"HOORAY!"
"NAMI! ARE YOU KNOCKIN' THEM BACK!?"
"AYE! AYE! CAP'N!"
Nami was tired, and bored, sure drinking these sleazy pirates till they're passed out was easy, but… turning she eyed Luffy, he was lying back on the bars on his cage, a fucking cage, if she'd known they'd put him in a cage she would've never signed up for this idea. A lazy smirk was on his face and he was spinning a gold coin between his fingers.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU'VE PICKED THE WRONG PARTNER LITTLE THIEF! The punishment for stealing my treasure is severe! I've already decided what your fate shall be."
Leaning forward Luffy's head slightly passed the bars an inch away from the other captain's face, "you gonna let me go?"
"That's right I'm gonna let yo-, OF COURSE I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO! LOAD THE SPECIAL BUGGY BALLS!"
"HOORAY!"
"BUGGY BALL READY CAPTAIN!" People were moving, rushing around and getting the cannon set up… straight for Luffy's cage.
"VERY WELL! NOW FOR A DEMONSTRATION OF POWER!"
Moving the cannon so that it was facing the town instead, Buggy loaded the cannon ball into the cannon. And completely decimated the row of houses. Nami was terrified.
"BREATHTAKING! WITH THESE BUGGY BALLS AND SPECIAL POWERS I GOT FROM THAT DEVIL FRUIT, I'LL RULE THE GRAND LINE!"
"NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! PROVE YOUR LOYALTY BY BLOWING YOUR FORMER BOSS INTO NOTHING! KILL YOUR FORMER BOSS!"
Nami tensed and looked over to Luffy, he was smiling, "you want me to k-kill him?"
"DO IT."
"DO IT! DO IT!"
"BLOW HIM TO PIECES!"
"BLAST HIM!"
What do I do? This wasn't part of the plan- "1000 berrie bet on my swordsman breaking me out in time." The words Luffy had said played over and over in her head.
"NAMI! STOP STALLING AND LIGHT THE CANNON!"
Nami light the match while looking into Luffy's eyes, he was practically vibrating in his spot from excitement, "a good gamble always pays off." Was all he said before the cannon went off.
A blur. Green. One second the cannon ball is going straight for Luffy and the next its been cut in half and going past Luffy on both sides to the village. "ZORO!"
"You hurt?"
"Nah I'm all good. Anyway, it took you long enough, you got lost, didn't you?"
"I DON'T GET LOST!"
"H-Hey didn't he just call that guy Zoro?!"
"What's Zoro the pirate hunter doing out here!?"
"The swordsman was pirate hunter Zoro?" Whispered Nami.
"Zoro! Get me out!"
Sighing, Zoro walked over and cut the cage open with ease, "happy?"
Jumping up and flicking his coin high into the air Luffy responded, "very~."
"So you're Roronoa Zoro, Eh? You must've come to capture me!"
Zoro calmly drawled, "No. You are of no interest to me."
Irked Buggy respond quickly, "well I am interested in killing you! GIVE ME ALL YOU GOT PIRATE HUNTER 'CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO GET A LOOK AT YOUR BLOOD!"
"You asked for it!"
Before the two could clash Luffy came up from behind Zoro and whispered, "A swordsman should not let their emotions take the helm for a spar." Faltering and backing off Luffy quickly moved into front of Zoro, "call."
(note call means in poker to copy and put exactly the same amount of money, or chips, as another person into the pot, or the money pile, thus Luffy is copying one's fruit by using this move)
The daggers in Buggy's hands sliced into Luffy with ease, "C-Captain!"
Buggy was once again irked, "How dare you move in the way of our battl-" his eyes widened at the sight before him, the thief's body parts that had been cut were floaty around, just like his fruit. "H-how!"
