Chapter 5: Gum Gum vs Chop Chop
Buggy and his crew managed to survive the 'Buggy Ball' blast. He was irritated that two nobodies as well as those three unknown creatures he know nothing of. They currently somewhere near the bay.
"How dare they! They didn't take me seriously! I'll kill them and captured those...whatever they are!" Buggy said as he absolutely livid about what just happened.
"But Captain, Mohji is on his way to get them, so you can just relax." One of his crew said.
"I guess it's true...he never failed me, yet." The clown said as he calmed down.
"WHO DO YOU CALLING ME A CLOWN!" Buggy said as he look to...well no one in particular.
You are dumbass.
"WHAT DID YOU-"
"HEY, BIG NOSE!" A familiar voice said as the Buggy look at who it is. It's the Seth, Hoopa, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami appears in front of them.
"WHO'S HAS A BIG NOSE!?" Buggy shouted.
"Who's big, red, round, and have a clown makeup on his face? That's you, clown!" Seth said.
Nami proceeds to bonk the two in the head. "Idiots! Don't provoke him!" She said as Seth rubbed where it's hurt before looking at Buggy. "Special delivery for Captain Clownface!" He said as he throws the unconscious Mohji and Cabaji in front of Buggy.
"Who're you calling Captain Clow-!" He stopped as he widens his eyes and jaw dropped as he recognized the two that Seth threw. His crew did the same thing.
"Mohji! How dare you humiliated me like this!" Buggy shouted angrily. "Men, prepare to fire the Buggy Ball!" His men obey his command and they prepared the cannon
Nami saw this and she and Zoro run away to take some cover while Seth and Hoopa hides on the wall. "The hell are you doing you three!?"
"It's fine. Luffy's got this!" Seth said as Hoopa nod. The cannon fired straight at Luffy. Just as it's about to hit him...
"Gum Gum Baloon!" Luffy took a deep breath as he body expands like a balloon, caught the Buggy Ball in it.
"EHHHHHH!?" Buggy and his crew shouted while making comical faces.
"Here, take it back!" Luffy shouted as the Buggy ball bounced back at them, causing a second explosion on them in the same day.
"What the!? How!?" Nami exclaimed as she was also shocked by the display.
"Hey Seth, did you know this is going to happen?" Zoro asked. "It's just a theory, but if Luffy can deflect bullets, I don't see a reason why he can't deflect cannonballs too."
"Shishishi, let's fight!" Luffy said as he deflated himself, prepare to fight.
"And how the hell can you do that!? And what are you!?" Nami shouted.
"My Gum Gum fruit." Luffy said as he picking his nose so casually.
"What is that!?" Nami shouted.
"A Devil Fruit." A voice said as man comes out from the rubble, holding two unconscious duo in each hand. The man has a long black hair with a scarf that wrapped around his neck and was riding a unicycle. "Captain Buggy, we have suffered too much." He said as Buggy comes out from the rubble. "Words can't describe about my anger for this scums, Cabaji."
"A Devil Fruit!?" Nami said as she looked at Seth. "As for you! You can sprout vines from your back, and can use a sleep induced powder. To top it all off, you can change powers too! What kind of power is that!?"
"A power hand given by God." Seth said as Hoopa nod.
"Say what!?" Nami shouted loudly.
"Allow me to kill this worms." Cabaji said as he pulled some sword from his mouth. "Go right ahead." Buggy allows the unicycle rider as he charged towards Luffy. Just before he can react, Zoro pulled his own swords as he blocks Cabaji. He already wears his bandana on. "If you're looking for a sword fight, fight me instead."
"So you're the infamous Roronoa Zoro." He said as he steps back. "I heard you quit being a bounty hunter."
"Yup. Why do you asked?" Zoro answered as he ready to fight.
"Because killing you will boost my reputation!" Cabaji said as took a deep breath. "Circus Trick: Fire Breath!" He spews fire breath from his mouth. Zoro managed to dodge it. He begin to clash with the circus swordsman.
Meanwhile, Seth, Hoopa, and Luffy were watching before Nami put her hands on their shoulder. "Listen up! I'm going to get the treasure and the map from that shack over there. If you survived this...let's cooperate again." She said as she walks away. Then a hand placed on her shoulder as she looked at Seth who is holding her hand. "Let us come with you. Who nows when our those pirates are going to wake up." He said as he puts his sunglasses on.
"I can do this myself." Nami said as she tried to persuade the sunglasses boy. "Don't be like that. I can't let a beautiful lady like you to defend herself." Seth said as Hoopa nod. Nami turns away as she sighed in defeat. She's also blushing at the same time. "I suppose you could..."
"Come on, lead the way." Hoopa said as he, Seth, and Nami went to the shack.
"Yo, Luffy! Finish the fight will ya?" Seth said as he grin before he begin his fight with Buggy.
Back with Zoro, he blocked every last attack from Cabaji. "Are you really a swordsman? All you did was just doing petty tricks." He said with a bored expression on his face.
"Don't worry. I'll finished you with my greatest trick." Cabaji said as he throw some spinning tops at Zoro. "Circus Trick: One Thousand Tops Typhoon!" Zoro slashed all the tops, but it was just a diversion as Cabaji climb the wall and fly. "Circus Trick: Midsummer Fire Crackers Ignition!"
Just as Zoro about to block... "Ground Hugging Chop-Chop Cannon!" Buggy shouted as he shoots his hand toward Zoro. "What the!? His hands flies out!"
Just the hand reach Zoro, Luffy stomped the hand. "OOOW! Let go, you rubber bastard!"
"Then keep your dirty hands away from Zoro's fight!" This make the swordsman smiles as he block the direct stab and throw Cabaji off from his unicycle. "Play time's over. I'll end this now." Zoro puts the white sword on his mouth as charge towards the scarf man.
"Hmph...then I'll finish you with my swordsmanship alone." Cabaji said as he runs towards Zoro. "Three Swords Style: Onigiri!" Zoro shouted as he slashed Cabaji first. The said man teethers back and forth.
"How...could I...lose to...a petty thief..." He said before drops on the ground, unconscious. Zoro proceeds to sheath his sword and took off his bandana. "You're wrong...we're pirates."
"Nice one, Zoro!" Luffy said. "Now sit down, he's mind!" Luffy said as Zoro nod.
"So...you two are pirates?! Even that guy with the weird genie?!" Buggy shouted.
"Yeah, now hand over the map of the Grand Line!"
"So that was your intention...that place is not somewhere nameless pirates like yourselves to go. And even if you did, what're going to do there? Sightseeing tour?" Buggy said.
"No...I'm going to be the King of the Pirates!"
Buggy shocked as he almost fall over. "Don't be ridiculous, you dumbass! You, become the King of the Pirates?! Then I'm God! I'll be the one who gets all the treasures in the world, so don't you ever dream about it!"
People can have the same dream, dumbass clown.
"Shut up, you!" Buggy shouted to...again no one in particular, he's one crazy, stupid motherfucker.
"I'm not crazy nor stupid!" There he goes again.
"Hey, shut up and fight, big nose!" Luffy said as he raring to go.
"That was the last straw, you bastard." Buggy said as knife suddenly appears in between in his fingers. "And speaking of straw, that hat of yours reminds me of the painful memories of that red haired bastard."
"Red haired!?" Luffy exclaimed as Buggy went on and on about something...
{Linebreak}
"Ah, here it is!" Seth said as he opens a vault where Buggy kept his treasure. Berry signs appears in her eyes as she put the gold in her bag as if like a kid found a hidden stash of candy. Seth and Hoopa took notice of this. "Well, someone's like money." Seth said as Nami stopped smiling. She remembered a symbol of a shark in her mind. "Money is everything, plain and simple."
"I suppose you're right. But remember this..." Seth said as he becomes serious. "Money can't buy happiness or freedom." Just as he said that, Nami began remembered a word from someone.
"If you bring me 100.000.000 berries, I'll set your village free."
"I rather die than breaking my promises."
Those words are, to Nami, were believable. 'We'll he-no. He'll keep his words. I'm sure of it!' She thought as Hoopa speak up.
"All that's left is the map. One momento..." Hoopa said as he creates a portal as put one of his hands in it to find the map. 3 minutes later, his hand comes out with a map on his hand. "Is this it?"
"Yeah that's it." Nami said as Seth look at her. "You know...this is just my opinion, but you look cute when you're happy."
Nami was beet red at the comment as she looks away. "Thanks. I wasn't expecting a compliment from-"
"DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE YOURSELF WITH SHANKS! YOU RUINED MY HAT!" They here Luffy shouted as it's cut Nami off. "Looks like Luffy gone Rage Mode." Seth and Hoopa said.
"How's that?" Nami asked with curiosity.
"That hat of his is special. Hand given by his idol." Seth said as Nami can't understand what he meant. Seth rubbed his head until an idea popped out from his head "How about I give you a test." Seth put down his backpack as he search for something, which turns out to be the Pokémon Egg he received from Lavaridge Town. "What is that?"
"An egg. I want you to protect this egg until it hatches. Think you can do that?" Seth said as he give the egg. "It's cool and all...but why are you give it to me?"
"Like I said, a test. Just as Luffy cared for his hat, I want see if you care for this egg. Whether you care or not, it's up to you." Seth explained his reasons as Nami received the egg before putting it in the bag. She smiled a little.
"You looove him." Hoopa teased her.
"Why you little!" Nami exclaimed as she strangles Hoopa again for 30 seconds.
"Alright, let's get going." Seth said as they left the pub and went outside. They saw Luffy still fighting Buggy while Zoro was sitting on the sidelines. "In my entire life, no one made me more pissed off except the way he did! HE STOLE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TREASURE FROM ME!" Buggy said as he remembered the events from became a Devil Fruit user by accident to losing an underwater treasure. He then goes on how we saved by Shanks when tried to recover the said treasure's map. All of them were looking at him.
"Shanks saved you, why do you got so mad about?"
"I never heard of people got angry for being saved."
"Me too."
"There other ways to hide the Devil Fruit other than put in one's mouth, you know."
"What an ungrateful human."
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT, YOU DUMBASSES!" Buggy yelled at them. "The point is, if I can't get the treasure from sea, might as well get it from the land!" Buggy said as his upper body flies out.
"Hoopa, stay with Nami." Seth said as he changed into an another form. His attire is now black with red highlights as well as his shoe. And he know have a red streak to go with his black hair. Seth then received a telepathic message from Arceus.
"In order to make an element of surprise of one's foe, one must obtain and master the power of darkness. And so, I granted you the power of the Dread Plate...Use it wisely."
Seth smirked before disappear in thin air, which shocking Nami.
"Where is he!?" Nami exclaimed as Buggy turns to her.
"Because of that, those who steal my treasure will-OOOW!" Buggy fly towards Nami before his make a sour face.
"Ouch, that's gonna hurt." Zoro cringed as Seth was revealed to be the one who kicked Buggy in a crotch, with no care in the world.
"You're not hurting her, you son of a bitch!" Seth said.
"Seth!" Nami said as she see Seth with Buggy. She couldn't believe a pirate, just save her life, and an outsider too.
"Y-You! How did you sneak up on me?!" Buggy growled.
"By Feint Attack, of course."
"Feint Attack?" Nami asked.
"It's a move that allows the user to sneak up on the target and attack. This attack never misses." Hoopa explained as Nami understands.
"Hey, Buggy! You're fight's with me!" Luffy shouted as he looked at Nami.
"Hey, drop the bag! Or he'll chase after you!" Luffy shouted.
"Drop it? As if! This is my treasure!"
"What do you mean your treasure...!?" Buggy growled at Nami's last comment.
"I stole this from you, so it's mine!"
The four think about it before fist bump their palms. "Sounds fair."
"Shut up! Who in their right mind to claim 'I steal it, so those this is my treasures' huh? That's a load of BS!"
"Like you're one to talk." The four of them sweatdropped.
"That's It...! Chop Chop Festival!" His body begin to split into small parts. "Let's see how you'll save your friends no-" He never gets to stop as a light blue outline appears on his body, causing the Chop Chop Fruit user to stopped.
"The hell is this!? I can't move!"
"That's the idea, human." Everyone including Nami looked at Hoopa, who his eyes glow light blue. "Like my Psychic? It's one of my favorite moves."
"Wow! It's psychic powers! That's so cool!" Luffy said with stars in eyes. He proceeds to grab Buggy's foot, open his shoes, and proceeds to tickle him in foot. This caused Buggy to laugh like an idiot before grunt in pain as Luffy pinch his foot.
"OI! KNOCK IT OF-" Buggy never gets finished as Nami clobbered him with the bag, causing the content to pour out of the bag. This also includes the egg case to be sent flying. Buggy crashes into a wall.
"It's Seth's egg!" Luffy exclaimed as Nami noticed this.
"Oh no! I forgot about that!" Nami said as the egg land in the bag. It's okay at first, but for some reason, something inside her told her to get the egg away from Buggy.
"Hmm...?" Buggy said as he recovered from the attack as he noticed the Pokémon egg. "I never seen anything like it. This could worth millions!" Buggy said as hands shots out. Just before it reaches the egg, Nami stomped his hand with her staff.
"OOOW!" Buggy cried in pain.
"Stay away from that egg!" Nami shouted before she realized what was she doing. She was protecting something other than her treasure and her tangerines. Surprised, yes, but she sense something from the egg, as if it's makes her...protective. When she sees it, she remembers what Seth said.
"I want you to protect this egg until it hatches."
"Just as Luffy cared for his hat, I want see if you care for this egg. Whether you care or not, it's up to you."
Nami heard those words in her head. She didn't expect to take it seriously.
"I see what you did there, nice job." Seth said as Nami blushed.
"Well...uh...It's not like I care for this egg or anything."
"You may say that, but you're face said otherwise, Tsundere." This caused Nami's face to become redder like a tomato.
"Oi, stop flirting you two!" Zoro shouted as Seth remember something. "Hey, Luffy! We got the map, finish this sorry excuse of a clown, will ya!"
"With pleasure!" Luffy said.
"I'm not done yet! Chop Chop Flashy Reassemble!" Buggy said as recalled his body parts...with his head only assembled to his arms and foot. "What the hell!?"
"Looking for this?" Nami said with devilishly smile as she standing on the tied body parts.
"What do you know? The thief got skills!" Luffy said as he looked at Buggy. "You're in trouble now...Gum Gum..." Luffy stretches his arms backward.
"No wait!" Buggy screams in fear as he was too late. "Bazooka!" Then stretches back as hits Luffy, sending him blasting off to the sky.
"Woo...that was awesome." Seth said as he turns back to normal.
"Victory!" Luffy thrust his hands in the air before looking at Nami, who was picking her scattered treasure. "And we got ourselves a crew member!"
"I didn't join your crew! But I suppose I'll stick around with you guys a much longer." Nami said before she looked at the egg.
'I don't know why, but...seeing that egg safe made me happy.' Nami thought as she puts some of the treasure before handing it to Seth. She puts the egg on her bag. "Here. It's quite heavy so I put the other half into this bag."
"Why so generous?" Seth asked as Nami stepped on his foot. "OOW!"
"Moron! It's because I trust you handle this like you trust me to take care of this egg." Nami said as she blushes and slap her hand over her mouth.
"See that, Zoro. I give her the egg, and she became trustworthy." Seth said to Zoro.
"I can see that." Zoro smirked.
"Who would've thought that giving her the egg managed to convince her." Hoopa said.
"Shut up, you three!" Nami yelled before looking at Luffy. He see his damaged hat. "He really cares about that hat, huh?"
'I would've been mad too if someone is damaging Bellemere's tangerines.'
"Hmhm. Just as you were protective with that egg, he also quite protective with that." Seth said as Luffy puts on his hat, and smiles. "Now that I kick Buggy's ass, it's fine now. Shall we leave?" He said as they nod.
Before they leave, a couple of footsteps can be heard as they saw a group of townspeople. One of them holds the Mayor in his shoulder, who is still sleeping. "Hey, kids! What happened here?" One of them asked.
"Oh good, it's the townspeople." Nami said as she pointed her finger at the unconscious pirates. "There are pirates here, you should call the marines."
"I see. Do you know why the mayor is sleeping like this?"
"My friend did it." Luffy said as the townspeople shocked and glared at the black hair outsider.
"Dumbass! Why would you say that?!" Nami said.
"Yeah, it's true. I use Sleep Powder on him."
"And why are you admitting so easily?!"
The townspeople proceeds to pull out some stuff to use as weapons. "Who are you people?"
"We're pirates." Luffy said as the townspeople shocked at the revelation.
"Hahahahaha!" Zoro and Hoopa laughed at the reaction.
"Idiot!" Nami exclaimed.
"What? It's the truth." Luffy said as the three just nod.
"Get them!" One of them said as they turned to angry mobs and run towards them.
"Let's get out of here!" Luffy shouted as they proceeded to run away from the crowd.
"Dammit, Luffy! Why do you have make things so complicated!?" Nami shouted.
"Shishishi, this is a good village." Luffy said.
"Huh?"
"Those people got pissed off for one guy! No matter what our excuses, they still get mad at us!" Seth said as they turned around to the corner.
"They ran into the corner!" One of the townspeople shouted as they went to the corner. But Chu Chu suddenly appears and barks at them, stopping them from chasing the five pirates.
"Chu Chu, get out of the way! Those guys are bad pirates!"
"Arf arf!" Chu Chu barked.
"Hey, is that dog!" Luffy said with surprise.
"Looks like the dog repaying us from saving his store." Seth said with a smile as they keep running.
{Linebreak}
After sprinting their hearts out, they arrived at the docks, with the four went to Nami's boat.
"Wow! You're boat is bigger than ours!" Luffy commented.
"It's no big of a deal. I stole it from those pirates."
"My guess is those guys." Seth said as the three appears from the stolen boat.
"Aha! We knew you'd come here sooner or later!" One of them said as they took notice of Zoro, Seth, and Hoopa.
"Aaah! You three again!?"
"That's right. And you're all getting to get a second a beatdown if you don't leave the beautiful lady alone." Seth said as he cracked his knuckles while Zoro pulls out his sword.
"KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT!" And just like that, the trio hightails out of here. As they finally set sail, they see the mayor who waved at them. "HEY, YOUNGSTERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
"Stay safe, old man!" Luffy said as his group waved goodbye to him.
(Linebreak)
"What do you mean, you left it!?" Nami exclaimed to Seth. Incidentally, Seth left one of the bag at the docks, causing the (temporary) Navigator to get angry.
"Well since some of their buildings is destroyed, they need money to build repairs, you know." Seth said bluntly.
"Why you little!" Nami said as she strangles him to the point where he can fall to the water. "Oi oi, you're going to drown me!"
"Shut it! Take your punishment like a man!" Nami retorted as she pushed Seth said to the water. Though Luffy and Zoro laugh at this, they soon panicked when Seth hasn't come back out as Nami starts worrying him too. Zoro and Hoopa saw a thumbs up from the water as they smirk. They then proceeds to pretend to be panic. Several minutes later, a hand comes out and starts to pull Nami to the water.
"KYAAA!" Nami shouted as she falls to the water. Then Seth appears in his Splash plate form. Luffy, Zoro and Hoopa laughed at this.
"You jerk! Now I'm all wet!" Nami whined.
"Hehe, that's what you get for crossing me!" Seth said as climbed to the boat. He then helped Nami get on board as he turns back to normal.
They laughed at each other as they keep sailing to the beyond...
