Chapter 14: Dealing With Buggy

After 6 hours, the Strawhat Pirates decided to leave Shells town as they resupplied and went back to their boat. During their stay, Luffy convinced Commander Ripper to take in Coby as well as Helmeppo into the Marines after truthfully saying that he's not a spy whatsoever. Luffy then gave Coby a piece of his own vivre card to him along with his den-den mushi number whenever he wants to call him. When Luffy thought about it, He was breaking record time going from island to island. From what he remembers, he knew it took almost the entire week to reach Orange Town, especially considering that neither he or Zoro knew how to navigate. Now though, they had Nami guiding them through the sea along with Luffy using his Atom-Atom Fruit powers to speed up the journey immensely. While waiting before reaching Orange Town, Luffy decided he wanted to know more about the abilities of each of his crewmates.

"Did you really have to eat all of our food Luffy?" Kuina asked as she watch Luffy in amazement as he literally dumped the contents of three of four barrels of provisions into his mouth.

Luffy spoke after he had eaten all of the food in his mouth. "Of course! I get hungry really fast whenever I use my Atom-Atom Fruit Powers for long periods of times like this."

"But that doesn't mean you can just take most of the food Luffy! I mean sure, we are making amazing progress towards the next island, but you can't just keep abusing your powers like that!" Nami chastised her captain, who in return just gave her a sheepish grin.

"Yeah, sorry about that, but I was just really hungry. Anyways, I think the each of us should know more about each other. Not just for trust, but to see what each and every single one of you are capable of. So,what are you guys capable of?" Luffy asked his crewmates. This time, he wanted to make sure he acted more like a captain and also wanted to make sure his crewmates themselves knew what each one of them are capable of, thereby allowing them to work better together and plan things out with more ease than before.

Nami began first. "I am of course, a skilled thief that is also your navigator. I can sense the shifts in the atmosphere and predict 100% correctly what's going to happen next, therefore keeping us away from danger whenever possible. Both of my haki types are really good, though my specialty is Armament Haki. I am well versed in using my Clima-Tact both in physical fighting and in weather manipulation." Nami stated, making those around her nod in understanding.

Nojiko went next as she took out a knife and a revolver from her belt, showing that she has two more revolvers in said belt, before twirling her weapons around her hands skillfully. "Just like Nami, I am also a skilled thief and a navigator, just not as good as Nami in the navigating aspect though. I mainly use this knife and my guns when I fight, as I'm not really strong physically. Unlike Nami, my haki specialization is in Observation Haki. In general, I'm someone who specializes in hit and run tactics, not fighting my opponents head on." Nojiko told them, making them nod again as they absorbed the information presented to them.

Zoro soon went after. "I am a swordsman who uses the Three-Sword Style, short and simple. I cut and slice through any and every single one of my problems that come towards me. I am capable of all three types of haki, but I specialize in Armament Haki. That's all you guys need to know for now." Zoro stated as he gripped Shusui.

Kuina went as soon as Zoro stopped talking. "Like Zoro, I am also a swordsman, rather, a swordswoman to be more precise. I mainly use the Shimotsuki One Sword Style, though once in awhile I will use my matching wakizashi I named Wado Chīsai with my Wado Ichimonji. I have some skill in navigating, though probably not as good as either Nojiko or Nami. In terms of Haki, I'm well versed in both Observation and Armament, but side more towards Armament." Kuina spoke to the group who then looked at both Marguerite and Luffy as they are the last ones who haven't said anything.

Marguerite spoke first. "I am an archer who is also well versed in hand-to-hand combat when the situation calls for it. Through Luffy, I learned how to use the Rokushiki techniques tekkai, soru, geppou, kami-e,shigan, and rankyaku. I use my bow snake here as the name implies, as a bow. I'm equally skilled in both Armament and Observation Haki, specializing in neither of them." Marguerite stated as she coddled her bow snake as it wrapped around her arm. They then turned their gaze on their captain Luffy.

Luffy smiled at his crewmates as he opened the palm of his hand let a ball of blue dust-like gas form floating above his palm. "I ate both the Gum-Gum Fruit and the Atom-Atom Fruit, making me an atomic rubber man. I mainly use my fists and my legs for fighting, using my devil fruit powers to make my attacks stronger. I also use the Rokushiki, like Marguerite, being a master in all of its moves. I am a master of all forms of haki, but my specialty would be Conqueror's Haki. I mainly use my Gum-Gum Fruit powers when I fight up close and I usually tend to use the Atom-Atom Fruit for other things, but will use it to fight when needed.." Luffy stated as he let the atom ball dissipate into nothingness.

His crewmates were amazed by his abilities. They already knew how incredible the their captain is as he built back Shells Town's Marine Base in an instant, so for them to see that he usually uses it for other things instead of fighting kind of surprised them. The only ones that were confused by Luffy's decision were only Nami and Nojiko, as they haven't seen Luffy use the Gum-Gum Fruit in combat like the others.

"Wait, Luffy? How is the Gum-Gum Fruit useful in combat?" Nojiko asked in wonder.

"It's what helped me reach and save your mom from getting killed by Arlong." Luffy merely replied with a grin.

Nami and Nojiko froze. Was that how Luffy was able to reach them before Arlong killed their mother? But this brought up one more question for them. "How?" They both asked in confusion.

Luffy stood up, smiling at them, before extending his left arm, causing all of the crew to see a massive bulge pass throughout his body, before his body suddenly began to steam up while his skin gained a pinkish hue. "This is the technique that I used to help me save your mom in time. I call it Gear Second. By speeding up my blood flow, I am able to move much faster than what I can normally move." Luffy explained as he slowed down his bloodflow, ending his technique and returning his body back to its original state. When Luffy was about to sit down, he noticed three presences coming his crew's way. When he looked towards that direction, he can see a small ship with what appeared to be three of Buggy's men moving towards their general direction.

"You six! Stop!" They yelled in unison as they waved their cutlasses towards them. The Strawhats just looked at each other with a deadpanned stare. Couldn't they see that they were both outnumbered and outclassed? Luffy just took one more look at them before aiming his right index finger towards their direction, mainly their swords.

"Atomic Dissipation." Luffy muttered as he shot three spheres made of deconstructing atoms towards the grunts' cutlasses, causing them to drop said weapons and look on in both shock and horror at seeing their weapon disintegrating into nothingness. Immediately they tried to get away, but soon found themselves knocked on the ground near unconsciousness with Marguerite aiming her snake-bow at the three.

"If any one of you tries to make a move against us again, you all will lose your defining male feature." She threatened successfully as she can see the shitstains on the pirates' pants.

"PLEASE! WE SURRENDER! TAKE ANYTHING YOU WANT! JUST DON'T KILL US!" The three grunts yelled in fear as they looked at the blonde Amazonian with horror in their eyes.

Nojiko and Nami somehow during all of this went inside their small ship, took all of their valuables, and left without any of them noticing sans Luffy and Kuina. Luffy merely shook his head in amusement while Kuina stifled a giggle. Soon after, they left the three grunts to on their own and looked on towards the direction they were headed. They soon saw the island as the enlarged lifeboat continued on in its path. When they got there, they noticed the massive havoc going throughout the town on said island, along with a massive pirate ship that appeared to have just docked on the island. Just one look at the jolly roger and everyone knew who these pirates were: The Buggy Pirates.

For Luffy, he had no problem with Buggy in the past as he has helped his crew many times before. However, at this point in time, they are enemies, and judging by the looks on his crewmates' faces, they look ready to tear Buggy's crew a new one. Nami and Nojiko gritted their teeth in anger at seeing the pandemonium going on in the town just because of the Buggy Pirates. It reminded them of when Arlong and his crew of fishmen came over to the Conomi Islands, terrorizing any and every person that lived there. Everyone else just looked on at the scene with seriousness visible in their eyes.

"Everyone, this is going to be our first battle against pirates. Just do what you gotta do to win this alright?" Luffy stated to his crewmates, causing Zoro, Nami, and Marguerite to smirk while a small smile graced Kuina's and Nojiko's lips.

"You think this will be a battle captain? No, this…this is going to be a massacre." Zoro stated with a twisted grin plastered on his face.

"Luffy, you of all people should know that this will be as easy as taking a little walk down the beach for us." Marguerite spoke as she stood up from her seat and readied her snake-bow.

"Let's show these bastards what we are capable of!" Nami and Nojiko exclaimed as they readied their respective weapons. Luffy used his Atom-Atom Fruit powers to lift up the boat and into the air, preparing a nice surprise for Buggy and his crew.


With Buggy and his crew at Orange Town…

Buggy looked on at this town, his eyes twinkling in excitement. From what he has seen through his scouts' observations, Orange Town is a plentiful place with many things of value. "My men! This will be our first step towards flashily owning all of the treasures on land! Take every single valuable you can find! Leave the civilians alone unless they attack you, then you have my permission to flashily do whatever you want with said person!" Buggy commanded his crew, who yelled in agreement to their captain as they left to raid the town.

"Very lively crew aren't they?" A seductive voice stated out as she twirled a spiked steel mace that is twice her size with complete ease. She is wearing a cowboy hat over her wavy black hair. Her pale, slim yet curvaceous body is currently being covered by an open purple coat showing her white bra along with a pair of striped white-and-red pants that seem to be one size too small for her, and a pair of brown cowboy boots. Her cherry red lips were the same color as her fingernails.

"Yes they are Alvida…yes they are…Let's show these civilians how flashy we can be!" Buggy stated with a grin as he got off his ship with Alvida and his First Mate Mohji and his Second Mate Cabaji following closely behind. Half of Buggy's grunts haven't made it beyond the first block before they were struck down with a hail of wind blades raining down upon them. When they looked up at the direction the wind blades came from, they saw a large lifeboat floating above them before it descended down to the ground showing who is attacking him and his crew.

"Who da hell are you flashy bastards!? I will give you a flashy death for going against me! Buggy!" Buggy exclaimed as he took out his knives while his three 'elite' crewmembers readied their respective weapons. Mohji got on his lion Richie, who looked on at the Strawhats hungrily while Cabaji got on top of his unicycle and took out his cutlass from his mouth. Alvida just looked at the crew wearily before she laid her eyes on the man who beat her two years ago.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here?" Alvida said as she stared at Luffy with lust-filled eyes. Nami took note of this and immediately hated this woman for eyeing Luffy like dog would a piece of meat.

"Guys, I'll deal with Buggy. You all can choose your opponents." Luffy stated as he walked casually towards Buggy as he cracked his knuckles.

"The woman's mine." Nami announced venomously as she readied her clima-tact and rushed at the woman.

"The guy on the unicycle better be a challenge." Zoro commented on his opponent as he took out Shusui and walked towards the dark green haired man.

"The beast man is going to be destroyed." Marguerite declared as she encased her fists with Armament Haki and walked in stride towards the beast tamer.

"Well it looks like it's up to the two of us to clean up the rest of Buggy's cohorts. I hope you're ready." Kuina remarked as she took out Wado Ichimonji and Wado Chīsai and looked towards the group of grunts that had gathered around the to women.

"Please, this will be just a warm-up for us and you know it." Nojiko stated as she took out her knife and her flintlock pistol, ready to face the group of men who looked at the two with lecherous faces, much to their disgust.


Nami vs Alvida…

Nami glared at Alvida as she rushed towards her, Nami's staff poised to strike Alvida's smug face. To Nami's surprise, when her staff struck Alvida, The end of her staff slipped off her face, doing no damage whatsoever. Nami quickly got out of her confusion as she felt her Observation Haki telling her to move out of the way from an incoming attack. When she moved, she saw Alvida's mace land right where Nami stood a moment ago. When the mace hit the ground, she saw the ground cave in with a 2-meter radius around the place the mace struck.

"You see the difference between us little girl? I am much stronger than you and you can't touch me for I ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, making it so all attacks against me slip away right when it touches me. It also had the side-effect of removing my freckles after I ate it though, such a shame." Alvida haughtily announced as she flicked her hair behind her.

Nami trembled in anger before exploding. "WHO'RE YOU CALLING LITTLE!?" Nami exclaimed as she tighten her grip on the clima-tact.

"You of course. Especially when you consider the breast and ass department." Alvida taunted Nami, who just exploded in even more rage.

"You know what!? I was planning on withholding this move a little while longer, but if it will make you shut up, then I'll gladly use it!" Nami exclaimed as a long chain of dark clouds came out of the end of her clima-tact. "Black Ball: Raiun Rod!" Nami exclaimed as she swung her staff at Alvida with newfound speed, not giving Alvida the chance to dodge the attack. The moment the clouds hit Alvida, massive amounts of lightning struck her, causing Alvida to scream in pain and agony. This kept going for four seconds before Alvida's screaming stopped and Nami ended her attack. Alvida still stood, albeit a bit shakily before she coughed out smoke and fainted, falling towards the ground and into the caved in floor in front of her.

Nami could still sense her presence, meaning she is still alive after all of that, causing Nami to sigh in relief. Nami may be greedy and heartless at times, but by no means does she not have a problem with killing people. Just because some of those in her crew can and may do it like Zoro, Kuina, Marguerite, and Luffy does not mean that she would do it as well, unless of course it is in a life-or-death situation.

"Now then, time to see what they got!" Nami commented to herself as she used her sneaking skills to get into Buggy's ship.


Zoro vs Cabaji…

Cabaji looked on at the green haired swordsman in anticipation and eagerness. It has been one of his goals to best at least one of the legendary Unity Swordsmen Duo. Now that he has the chance to face one, he hopes that in defeating him that his reputation will increase substantially. "Roronoa Zoro, it is an honor to face you." Cabaji said as he pointed his cutlass towards Zoro, who just looked back at Cabaji with a calculating gaze.

"I really hope you aren't a waste of my time." Zoro remarked as he entered into his one sword form. Cabaji didn't give an answer as he cycled towards Zoro before jumping off his unicycle and front flipping before using the momentum he gained from the front flip to strike Zoro with his cutlass. Zoro brought up Shusui to block the attack. As the two swordsmen kept pushing their blades, Cabaji puffed his chest in preparation for his next move.

"Acrobatics! Old Man's Flame!" Cabaji announced as he let out a stream of fire from his mouth towards Zoro, who used his Observation Haki to anticipate what Cabaji was planning on doing and moved out of the way with a speed much faster than Cabaji anticipated.

"One Sword Style: Lion's Song!" Zoro voiced the name of his technique as Cabaji suddenly found himself in intense pain and losing consciousness.

Zoro looked at the man disappointedly as he sheathed his blade back into its scabbard. "I expected more from you…This fight is quite disatisfying to say the least. I wonder if there are swordsmen who are more capable than this in the East Blue?" Zoro pondered as he noticed Nami sneaking into Buggy's ship.

"She's probably looking for gold or something like that. Might as well see what kind of booze they in there as well." Zoro commented to himself as he walked towards the ship without a care in the world.


Marguerite vs Mohji…

Marguerite just stared uncaringly at the beast tamer. During her training with Luffy, she had battled much bigger and stronger creatures than this, and she was much younger no less! She looked at her opponent and saw that he had a grin on his face that essentially said that there is no chance for her to win. It really annoyed her.

"I suggest you run back to your captain, girlie. I won't be responsible for your death should you decide to continue this. Plus Richie here is really hungry, so I'd leave if I were you." Mohji warned as Richie started growling at Marguerite who just deadpanned at the man.

"Just shut up and fight me. God, you are so annoying…" Marguerite muttered out as she entered a fighting stance.

"Don't say I didn't warn you! Richie! Attack!" Mohji commanded as Richie rushed towards Marguerite and went to clamp his jaws over her torso. Right when Richie was about to, Marguerite went under Richie and aimed for his underbody.

"Tekkai Kenpo: Palm Strike!" Marguerite shouted out as she struck Richie with an Armament and Tekkai enhanced palm strike from under, causing the lion and Mohji to be launched in the air with extreme amounts of force. After about five seconds of constantly going up, Marguerite crouched when she noticed that they started to come down.

"Geppou." Marguerite commented to herself as she launched herself into the air. She noticed how far apart Mohji and Richie were from each other so she decided to attack Mohji. "Tekkai Kenpo: Butterfly Kick!" She exclaimed as she twirled herself in order to gain momentum for the kick before striking Mohji in the face with her left foot, causing a semi-conscious Mohji to be launch at an incredible speed, causing a shockwave and a crater when he landed. When Marguerite gracefully landed, she noticed something odd about the greatly weakened lion. When she went up for a closer look, she noticed that he hasn't been fed for a long time and is whimpering in pain.

She went and picked up a semi-conscious Mohji by the shirt in anger. "When was the last time you fed that lion?" She questioned dangerously.

"A-About a week…ago…" Was all he uttered out before succumbing to his injuries and knocking out. When she heard the so called beast tamer's answer, she punched his unconscious body through one of the abandoned houses before returning to Richie.

"I'm sorry for hurting you. Let me get you some food as an apology." Marguerite spoke soothingly, making Richie mewl in understanding, weakly getting up and following Marguerite to get some grub.


Kuina and Nojiko vs The Cannon Fodder…

"So it's two against sixty." Nojiko noted as she tensed her muscles, ready for action.

"I can take care of all of them on my own, but then you wouldn't have your own fun now wouldn't you?" Kuina asked, making Nojiko smile at her question.

"You are right. Let's get this over with." Nojiko said as she took out two of her revolvers and incapacitated four mooks in quick succession.

"Watch my back Nojiko!" Kuina playfully yelled out as she sliced three grunts down with her Wado before jumping into the air. "Camellia Blade Storm!" Kuina called out the name of her attack as she fired a literal storm of wind blades towards a major chunk of the group, effectively eliminating twenty of them and causing damage to thirteen more. While this was happening, Nojiko eliminated eight more with her revolvers before using her knife to stealthily take out five more.

"How many more?" Kuina asked, never taking her eyes off of their opponents.

"Twenty more. Of those twenty, only seven of them are in perfect condition while the other thirteen are seriously injured, but are still capable of fighting." Nojiko noted as she reloaded two of her three revolvers.

"BRING OUT THE MOBILE BUGGY CANNON MR. BIG!" One of the grunts exclaimed, causing the biggest grunt now known as Big to pull out a cannon, aiming it towards the two Strawhats.

"Take thiths you bitcheths!" Big exclaimed in a lispy voice as he fired a buggy ball towards the Kuina and Nojiko.

"Nojiko get behind me!" Kuina yelled at the light blue-haired woman, who did as she was told. Kuina then focused her Armament haki towards her Wado ichimonji and sliced the buggy ball in half, causing the now unstable modified cannon ball to go into 2 different routes, destroying many buildings and houses that are in its paths. When she realized what she had done, Kuina's anger rose, making her grab Wado Chīsai, infuse it with Armament Haki, and throw it as hard as she could right into Big's forehead, making his head explode upon impact.

"NOOOOO! BIIIIIG!" The grunts exclaimed in shock, sadness, and fear. They turned their heads to look at a livid Kuina and an angry Nojiko. The grunts looked at each other before nodding in agreement. "WE SURRENDER!" They exclaimed as they knelt down and laid their weapons down.

"That was easy." Kuina noted as she took back Wado Chīsai, cleaned it on Big's shirt, and sheathed it back on its scabbard.

"It sure was. Tie them up." Nojiko said as she kept her revolvers aimed at the conscious grunts of Buggy to make sure they don't try anything stupid against them. Once Kuina tied all of them up, including with the unconscious ones, she and Nojiko lead them back to Buggy's ship.


Luffy vs Buggy…

Luffy looked on at Buggy with a smile plastered on his face. Sure in the beginning they may have started off on the wrong foot, but soon enough they had many meet ups with each other, helping one another with their problems when they had any. But that was then, this is now.

"You damn flashy bastard, I'll make you pay for what you did to my men." Buggy growled out as he took out his knives, ready to strike Luffy with them.

"But I didn't do anything to your men, that was all on Kuina." Luffy explained, instantly calming Buggy down.

"Oh really? Well I apologize for my-WHY AM I APOLOGIZING FOR!? YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CREWMATES ACTIONS!" Buggy exclaimed in anger as he threw three of his knives towards Luffy.

Luffy didn't even flinch. "Atom Shield." Luffy said as a big, bluish-white transparent dish appeared in front of Luffy. When the knives hit Luffy's shield, they disintegrated into nothingness, shocking Buggy at what he can do.

"You…What devil fruit did you eat?" Buggy questioned warily as he saw Luffy's Atom Shield dissipate into nothingness, like his knives.

"I am not telling you." Luffy remarked seriously as he gave off a piercing gaze towards Buggy.

"O-Oh okay, if you don't want to tell me that's fi-I'LL FIND OUT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! SCREW WHAT YOU SAY!" Buggy yelled angrily as he infused his fists and knives with Armament Haki. "Bari-Bari Cannon!" Buggy called out his attack as his blackened knives and fists were launched at Luffy at such a speed that Luffy actually had to dodge quickly.

Luffy quickly recomposed himself at seeing Buggy use haki this early along with using his devil fruit powers with much more ferocity. 'So he can use haki now. Well that's another change from my timeline.' Luffy thought as he decided to end this quickly. Before he could do anything though, Buggy's hands were coming back, aiming themselves towards Luffy's kidneys. Luffy used his Armament Haki and quickly smacked away Buggy's hands back to the clown pirate. Luffy then pumped his blood faster, entering Gear Second.

"Gum-Gum…" Luffy began as he threw his haki-infused arms behind him, stretching to great lengths before appearing in front of Buggy in almost an instant. "…Jet Bazooka!" Luffy roared out as his palms struck Buggy with massive amounts of force, causing him to be launched into the sky, Alvida style.

"CUUUUURSE YOOOOOUUUUU STRAAAAAW HAAAAAT!" Buggy exclaimed as he disappeared into the sky with a twinkle.

"Why is it that everytime I launch someone into the sky, they twinkle away? Eh, I'll never get why the mystery twinkle happens." Luffy noted to himself as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He turned around to see Zoro walking towards him whilst dragging Mohji, Cabaji and Alvida behind him. He then turned his attention to a really happy Nami, who is currently holding a cartoonishly large brown sac behind her with relative ease. He then pointed his attention towards the direction Marguerite came from and saw his brother's girlfriend walking alongside a satisfied Richie. He then heard lots of mumbling and grumbling, so naturally he turned towards the direction of the noise and was surprised by what he saw. The entire Buggy Pirate group sans their officers and their captain got defeated by only two of his own crewmates. Sure he expected Kuina to be capable of since she is essentially a female Zoro, but for Nojiko to have been able to hold her own without a scratch has impressed him greatly. As a matter of fact, none of his crewmembers have taken no damage whatsoever in their battles. So far, Luffy is impressed by his crewmates strength, and with how they dealt with their opponents more efficiently than before.

"So what are your thoughts on this?" Luffy asked his crew with an amused smile on his face, wanting to know how they felt about their first battle against a crew of pirates.

"They were pathetically easy. If this as strong as they come, then we should have no problem conquering the Grand Line." Zoro commented as he let go of the Buggy's commanding officers and let them drop to the ground.

"Personally, I'm just glad I got this harlot to shut up." Nami stated as she glared as Alvida with hate and disgust.

"I'm disgusted by this so called beast tamer. He hasn't even fed this poor lion for a week." Marguerite remarked as she coddled Richie, who purred in happiness.

"They were too pathetic, and they destroyed many buildings when we fought." Kuina spoke to Luffy as brought in all of Buggy's brutes.

"And she killed the biggest one of them all." Nojiko added on as she holstered her two revolvers and had four of the grunts rest as they dropped the dead Big's body on the floor.

Luffy turned his attention to Buggy's cohorts. "I sent your captain flying that way." Luffy said to the mortified pirates as he pointed towards the direction he sent Buggy. "If I were you, I'd go and save him before he falls in water or something like that." Luffy advised offhandedly as he removed the ropes tying the grunts together. The moment they were freed from them, they immediately ran towards their ship taking Big's corpse and their commanding officers with them. Before Richie can go with them as well, Marguerite looked at him dead in the eye. "If your dumb master keeps treating you wrong, rebel against him, for he is not worthy of you okay?" She told Richie, who nodded happily at what Marguerite said before leaving with the rest of his crew.

"Okay guys, now that that's over, I think it's time we rest up as the sun is setting down." Luffy said as he took a look at the sun going over the horizon. Since the travel time from Shells Town and Orange Town went down from Luffy's original one week down to six hours and they left at one in the afternoon, and they fought off the Buggy Pirates which took a little while more, ended up with it being around 7:30 in the afternoon.

"Luffy's right. If we're to be at full strength tomorrow, we going to need all of the rest we could get." Nami advised as she lifted up the bag of treasure. "Luffy, can you be a dear and help with all of this treasure?" Nami cutely asked as she winked at her captain.

Luffy, being the kind of person to help his friends, used his devil fruit powers to levitate her massive bag. "Okay Nami." Luffy happily responded as he walked towards the center of the town.

"That manipulative woman…" Zoro muttered before following suit.

"I hope we can get a nice suite in this place." Nojiko mused as both Kuina and Marguerite smiled at the thought. As they continued to walk down the street, they noticed all of the townspeople armed up and ready for battle.

"Who are you? As both the Mayor and commander of this group I demand you to tell me who you guys are!" The mayor commanded. When Luffy walked up to the mayor, the mayor realized how small Luffy made him feel, but that did not deter him.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, Captain of the Strawhat Pirates! These are my crewmates Nami, Zoro, Marguerite, Nojiko, and Kuina." Luffy introduced himself and his crew in a friendly manner, surprising the residents of the town by how friendly this Pirate Captain is being.

"Strawhat Pirates? So you're not allied with the Buggy Pirates in any manner?" The mayor further questioned.

"Nope! We just came here to resupply in food and have a rest. However, we wouldn't be able to do that with them in our way so we kicked their asses back to sunday!" Luffy explained before he suddenly found himself thinking. 'Mmmm…Bacon Chocolate Sundae…' Luffy thought as saliva began to ooze out of his mouth.

Nami decided to step in and negotiate for Luffy as he is obviously off in dreamland. "Well since the Buggy Pirates are gone and you no longer have anything to worry about, how about letting us stay for the night? It is getting pretty dark out there and you would want to leave four maidens out in the open now would you?" Nami expressed in a seductive voice as she showed a bit of cleavage towards the mayor, in order to make the situation in her favor.

"She's a witch." Zoro deadpanned as Nojiko patted his back in acknowledgement.

"You have no idea Zoro…You have no idea…" Nojiko stated ominously as she remembered the past times she and her sister went off to rob pirates and corrupt nobles.

"Well since you all did get rid of the pirates and minimized the damage as best as you could," Kuina felt a little guilty when the mayor said that part. "As a thank you for all you pirates have done, you can in any of our hotels for free! With an all-you-can-eat banquet!" The mayor proclaimed proudly as the crowd of civilians cheered for them.

The moment Luffy heard the word 'banquet' is when he snapped out of his daydream and looked at the mayor with starstruck eyes.

"You really mean that!? The all-you-can-eat banquet!?" Luffy inquired excitedly.

"Yes indeed Mr. Luffy! I hope you enjoy yourself." The mayor responded, making Luffy jump up in the air in happiness.

"Yeah! Free food!" Luffy exclaimed happily.

Today definitely was a good day for Luffy and his crew.


Omake: Ominous Revelations

Luffy found himself floating in a void not unlike the one he found himself in when he committed suicide. He looked around with a confused expression etched on his face. He had just finished cleaning out five tables worth of food at the banquet before heading to the room he decided to stay in and sleep. 'Where am I?' Luffy thought. He's pretty sure he's not dead so that couldn't be it. But if he's not not dead, then where is he actually? The void is suddenly filled with light. When his eyes got accustomed to the brightness, he found himself in Drum Island with a severely weakened body, with Nami's sick body tied behind him, and with Blackbeard in front of him. Luffy felt so much lividness at seeing the burly man's sneering face. From what he can tell about in this situation is that it appears that he arrived on Drum Island around the time the Blackbeard Pirates were attacking it, getting caught in the crossfire. The moment Blackbeard began to use his devil fruit powers, his entire vision went blank.

He suddenly found himself in the White-White Sea, the place they reached when they were launched by the knock-up stream. He looked around his surroundings and found himself on The Going Merry. He then noticed how different this Going Merry is compared to the original. It is definitely much bigger and seems much more deadlier as well. Before he can look further into it, he saw three unconscious bodies launch through the White-White Sea before falling limply down. Luffy then found himself not being able to control his body as it launched itself towards the falling bodies, before his entire world became engulfed in white.

He then found himself back at Enies Lobby. Like last time, there were different things going on. In the corner of his eye he could see the dead body of Rob Lucci, which had a gaping hole through his body along with a quarter of his head missing. Though that wasn't the most interesting thing that caught his attention, it is the two people in grey clothing in front of him. They looked similar to each other in terms of what they're wearing and their height, which is around Zoro's height. The one on the left is wearing a grey suit and has his sleeves rolled up, showing that he is wearing traditional muay thai wraps. He has a well-toned body with bronze skin and short, black hair on his head. The one on the right looked more muscular, has his hair in a spiky mohawk fashion, and wears wing chun garments. The only thing that came up in his mind when saw these people is the memory of when he talked with the messenger and his devil fruits.

They are CPX.

Before Luffy could think of anything else, his world went white again. When he came to, he found himself above his planet's atmosphere, without any protection whatsoever and his body looked as bad as when he got brutally beaten by Impel Down's Warden Magellan. This would be a problem for anybody, but Luffy realized that it is his Atom-Atom Fruit keeping him alive by converting whatever matter around him into air to keep him alive and breathing. However, what got him weirded out at this point is that he felt fear, anger and sadness. When he looked to see what is in front of him, those feelings intensified.

There stood a being roughly four times his size, hovering in front of him. The being has his entire head covered in bandages, only showing what appears to be his eye along with a halo floating on the top of his head. His body is covered in osmium-colored armor with six massive pairs of wings behind him, glowing a beautiful white light. In his right hand, he held a glowing sword, radiating massive amounts of energy.

He could see that the being's face had tears streaming down its 'eye', and he could feel the amount of anger, rage, sadness, and sorrow it is emanating. The being soon put the sword back in its scabbard, before he clenched his right hand into a fist, and visibly saw a ball of light blue energy formed around said fist before it compressed into the fist's size. Just as he saw the being rush towards him, his world soon went white again.

When he could finally see again, he soon found himself staring in front of two tombstones. On one tombstone, he could see Ace's hat, necklace, and seastone blade on a wooden cross. On the other tombstone, he could see…

…his strawhat.

Luffy's eyes widened when he noticed a plaque on the ground in between what he definitely knows is his and Ace's grave. It read:

Here lies

Portgas D. Ace & Monkey D. Luffy

They have taken the world by storm, looking for adventure and freedom.

United they were given to us, united they were taken away.

Leaving behind friends and family,

But not leaving behind their ideals.

Their ideals shall be passed on to their children, and their children's children.

May they have more adventures in their next life,

And may they never forget their past ones as well.

Thank you two for uniting us all.

Luffy suddenly woke up, covered all around in sweat. He could still feel the cold chills he got when he saw his and Ace's tombstone. It looked so real. Too real, in fact. He looked around and found himself in his bed. He could see that the sun is beginning to come up from his window. Seeing as it's about time to get everyone up along with the fact that he probably won't be able to sleep for a couple of days, he left his room, took all of his belongings, and thought in wonder at what his dream meant.
