Chapter 5: Devil's Fruit VS. Devil's Fruit
Zoro groaned again as Caridi rushed through the town, frequently running into people. "Please! I need to find a doctor! Help me!" she begged, but people just walked past, not willing to help pirate scum. Caridi bit her lip and continued walking.
Twenty minutes went on like this until she finally collapsed under Zoro and the pain, crying. A man rushed up quickly, bending down to help. He gasped. "What happened?" Caridi looked up at him, tears still staining her dirty face. "I wasn't there, but some man stabbed him from behind and I don't know what to do and no one-!" The man cut her off. "It's alright! I'm a doctor. I'll help you out. All I need you to do is help me carry this young man."
Caridi was quick to comply as they both took him under one arm, rushing briskly to the doctor's home.
Luffy flew back, nearly breaking the brick foundation behind him. He shook his head. Buggy's ability to separate himself was a huge advantage. But he used every chance he could get to use his own Devil's Fruit power.
Buggy's hand came flying yet again and Luffy dove to the right, only to have to crouch lower to evade his second hand. Gotta watch out for that... he thought. Luffy rushed forward, whipping out his fist and colliding with Buggy's shin.
The head cried out and yelled, "HEY! That's cheating!" Luffy grinned. "Hey, it's not my fault you're an easy target." Buggy flared up. "Oh yeah? Fine! Then let's see how you deal with this!"
Luffy watched as the hands split themselves from the other fingers, leaving ten daggered fingers headed his way. "Just great," he sighed. He rushed off, trying to avoid the flying mini-swords.
One nipped the edge of the straw hat, sending it flying from his head and into the box standing behind them. Luffy's eyes widened. "My hat!" Luffy reached out his hand to pluck it from the wood, but someone beat him to it. Something, more or less, but it belonged to someone.
Buggy reassembled himself, looking wearily at the hat in his grasp. He looked from it to the boy, then back to the hat. "I never thought that you worked for Shanks." he said, tossing the hat to the ground. "I don't work for him, he's my friend!" Luffy shouted, making a move for the hat that Buggy now had a foot over.
Buggy threw a dagger at Luffy as he brought his foot down, crushing the hat in its wake. Luffy had no choice but to dodged it, but when he saw the result, that made him angry. He stood there for a moment, his eyes pointed towards the ground. He looked up, a new found resentment, no, worse than that. Hate in his eyes.
"You're going to pay for that." he cooed, though he still managed to keep a level, calm, and creepy edge to his voice.
OKay! I hope you liked it! R&R! What's with the mysterious box? What's written on it? What's in it? All will be answered soon! loL! Maybe not next chapter, but soon, I can promise that. R&R and I'll update soon! LUV YAH ALL!
