Chatper 6: Buggy's Demise.

Caridi scrambled towards the docks, swords clanging at her side. They had been haphazardly thrown there as she rushed to help her captain. I sure hope Zoro's alright…she thought, turning in the direction that she thought Luffy was fighting.

She skidded to a halt as she watched the big-nosed guy step on the hat that seemed oh-so familiar as Luffy dove to evade a dagger flying at his head. Luffy looked up. That was the first time the rubber-boy scared his crewmate.

"You're going to pay for that." he cooed, though he still managed to keep a level, calm, and creepy edge to his voice.

Caridi stepped back, deciding this wasn't the ideal time to intercept in the attacks. Luffy charged forward, picking up the dagger that had just a few moments before been his enemy. He threw back his arm as far as it would go, being pretty far considering he was made of rubber. Then, he launched it, its blade headed straight for the opponents, well, head.

Caridi gasped as his head detached itself from the pirate's body. The man laughed maniacally. "You didn't seriously think you could throw a dagger at Buggy the Clown, did you? I have the Bara-Bara no mi fruit in my posseition! You can't attack-!"

But, in his babbling, he failed to notice Luffy as he sprinted forward, connecting his fist with the man's jaw and his leg with Buggy's stomach. Caridi cringed. She didn't want to be on the receiving end of that hit.

Luffy then took the clown's moment of weakness and turned it in his favor, launching his other leg into his chest, effectively sending him on a trip to the ocean floor. None of his crewmates moved. They didn't even, it looked like, breathe.

Caridi clapped her hands together, jumping up and smiling. "Nicely done!" she cheered, but Luffy paid no heed as he strolled over to his ripped straw hat. "Aw man… Shanks's going to kill me." he sighed, shaking his head slightly. The female's eyes widened as she heard his name.

"Where do I recognize that name?" she whispered to herself, but was quickly drawn from her thoughts.

Zoro struggled to sit up. This was not because of the many scars that now engraved his back, but because some doctor guy, who called himself Tidius, kept pushing him back onto the bed.

"You're in no condition to be going out and fighting anyone! Even if you're only helping someone fight them!" he added, watching the teen open his mouth to protest. Zoro collapsed back onto the bed, defeated. But how am I going to help Caridi... I mean, the crew without being there! he thought, sighing mentally and physically. He'd been in worse condition and still kicked 3 people's asses. One of that mans caliber shouldn't be too difficult, right?

He shook his head and growled. Then he remembered. "Hey, I'm the one with the swords, right?" he mumbled to himself, looking for his katana's around his temporary room. "Ah-ha!" he grinned, finally spotting them. "God knows it took long enough." He jumped up, pain immediately immersing his being, but he ignored it and quickly scurried over to get his swords.

Here I come, Car- I mean, guys. Here I come. he thought, yet again mentally correcting his thoughts and dashing from the building.

OKAY! R&R PLEASE!
