Somewhere
3 pirates just finished gathering a rather hefty amount of loot. They had had big grins on their faces as they took in their accomplishment. The amount of treasure was certainly impressive
"Captain Buggy is going to be so proud when we bring him this!" one of the pirates whispered gleefully.
"Yeah! Look at all this treasure! There's no doubt that Captain Buggy won't be mad at us!" another had similar emotions.
The three were broken out of their thoughts when they spotted another small boat heading towards them. When it got closer, they could see an orange haired girl lying weakly inside the boat, along with another large treasure chest.
"It's a girl." They realized
"Hey, what's the matter? You feeling alright?" one pirate asked.
The girl slowly opened her eyes. "Oh! Could it be? I must be dreaming to run into somebody on these seas…" she said with a tired smile. "I don't want to be much of a bother, but do you have any water? I'll give you as much money as you need!" She motioned to the chest.
"Sure we'll help ya, but we need to check out your treasure first." The three of them got onto the other girl's boat and attempted to open the chest. After some time they indeed managed to get it open, but instead of treasure what they found was a stuffed panda doll instead.
"Huh?" The three pirates were dumbfounded until they heard the laughter of the supposedly dehydrated girl.
"If you guys like it so much you can keep it!" the girl taunted while sailing off.
"Hey! You tricked us! Get back here!" the three attempted to give chase.
"Hmm, dark clouds indicate that a cold front is approaching from the south, a storm is coming! Not good to be out here in such a small boat!" The girl murmured and started sailing north. Almost immediately, a gust of wind began to blow and soon after it became a full-blown squall, just like the girl predicted. She managed to get out of the way, the three pirates on the other hand were not so lucky.
"Bye! Thank you for the treasure!" The girl bid the pirates now struggling among the waves. She didn't regret it much; they were pirates after all, and they could potentially harm more people in the future.
With that in mind, the girl sailed off, blissfully ignoring the profanity hurled her way by the waterlogged pirates.
Meanwhile
"Did Shanks ever let you go on adventures with him? Did he ever do anything cool? Was it fun on his ship?" Luffy ecstatically bombarded a certain 23 year old with questions.
"No, we didn't stop much on during the process, I think so but I don't remember, and yes overall it had been a pretty good time except for maybe the times he'd get hungover and we had to drag him back to his cabin." Gian replied them all with a slightly bored tone; his captain had been doing this for the last 10 minutes. It all began because Luffy's straw hat was blown off by accident by the wind which left him quite worried. After Zoro managed to get it back the question was raised to why it was so important to them. Luffy mentioned that Shanks gave him the hat when he was little, and that he made a promise to return it to him once he has a strong crew of his own. This part caught Gian's attention, and he had to confirm if the Shanks he was referring to was the same 'Red Hair' Shanks that saved his life.
Which led to Luffy discovering that his first nakama was a passenger on Shank's pirate ship. And as of right now, the straw hat captain was currently letting loose a stream of excited questions.
"Really, I wasn't much of a crewmate with them, sure we all liked each other but no adventures or any of the good stuff!" Gian answered yet again. Beside them, Zoro chuckled at their antics.
"I still don't understand how the two of you managed to set sail, neither of you have much navigation skills, if any at all." The green-haired swordsman sighed. Luffy had told him their plan is simply drifting around, and while Gian can do some simple map and compass reading it isn't going to help in the long run.
"Says the guy who couldn't find his way home and became a bounty hunter because of it!" Gian shot back.
"Don't say it like that!" Zoro yelled back. He had told them a bit about how he wound up in Shells Town and didn't exactly mention how he got lost in the process, or so he thought. Hearing that was an absolute riot for the other two youths and Gian now has excellent blackmail material. Zoro was really regretting how he mentioned that.
"Seriously, we really need a navigator" he stressed again, and Gian agreed with him.
"But first we need a musician!" Luffy exclaimed.
"THAT CAN WAIT!" the other two said.
"Ahhhhh, I'm hungryyyyy" Luffy's groaned after some time had passed. The three had left Shells Town for quite some time now and all the food they consumed back at the town was long digested by now. The other two looked down slightly embarrassed as their own stomachs started to growl.
"Hey look a bird!" Luffy then pointed up at the sky. The 3 looked up and saw a flying object, indeed a flying bird. The bird seemed much bigger than your average bird; there could be a lot of meat on it. "Let's eat it!"
"Yeah but how are we going to get it down?" Zoro questioned.
"I can shoot it down with an Atom Beam" Gian mused "Would cook it in the process as well, killing two birds with one stone that way! Heh heh."
"Yeah, and then you'll be so hungry you'd eat it yourself!" Zoro smirked.
"Well I didn't say it was a perfect plan did I?"
"Don't worry, I'll catch it!" Luffy declared and stretched his arms back. "Gomu Gomu no… Rocket!"
The boy shot towards the bird, intent on catching it. No less than a minute later, the other two heard Luffy's cry for help. Turns out that bird indeed had a lot of meat on it, a bit too much. Said boy was now currently caught in its beak.
"Gian…" Zoro muttered.
"Don't tell me, he got himself caught and now the bird is carrying him away isn't it?" Gian deadpanned.
"Yup."
"…YOU IDIOT!" the other two shouted as they rowing after the bird. They were so focused on trying to retrieve their captain that they almost didn't notice 3 other people floating in the water.
"Hey! Stop the boat!" one of the drifters shouted at the incoming vessel. Unfortunately for them the two didn't pay any attention and they almost ran over the 3 castaways. The three pirates managed to latch onto the boat and climb aboard just as it passed over.
"Welcome aboard! Sorry we're kind of in a hurry so we couldn't stop." Gian said.
"What the hell? Are you trying to run us over?" One of them glared at the duo, but was ignored.
"Are you two blind?!" Another shouted. The two carried on ignoring them.
"Stop this boat now! We are the crew of Captain Buggy the Clown! We command that you stop this boat!" That managed to get Gian and Zoro to pay attention. Unfortunately, that did not bode well for the 3 pirates…
"We are sorry for our rash behavior! If we knew earlier that you guys are 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro and Gian 'The Rage Demon' we would never have threatened you!" the three now bruised and battered pirates groaned out, now forced to row the boat.
"What kind of stupid ass epithet did you give yourself?!" Zoro facepalmed.
"Shut up I'm having an off day…" Gian grumbled. "On a more serious note, why were you three taking a bath in the middle of the sea?"
"A girl! A very evil girl tricked us and stole our boat! She sure was cute though…" The three pirates explained.
"We can't go back to captain Buggy like this! Not when she took all our stolen treasure!"
Gian and Zoro mused over that information. "She managed to trick you guys?" Zoro questioned.
"She made us think that she was exhausted and then stole our boat! When we chased after her she made some weird weather prediction that came true! We lost our other boat in the storm along with the treasure!"
"So she can predict the weather…" Gian mused.
"A skill like that would make her a good navigator for us!" Zoro smirked.
"Indeed. First order of business however is still finding our wayward captain. So get back to rowing!" Gian commanded and the 3 pirates hastily did so.
Meanwhile
"You bitch!" a voice shouted.
"Give us back the map you thief!" another sounded as well.
A group of people were chasing the same orange haired girl from before, she was clutching what appears to be a roll of paper.
"I finally have the map of the Grand Line!" she thought as she continued to attempt escape from her pursuers.
Elsewhere
A Ship was docked at the harbor, a very colorful ship for that matter. The ship had a very noticeable circus theme, part of it looking like a circus tent, with an elephant figurehead. On the ship stood a man wearing colorful clothing, green pants, a red shirt with white stripes and an orange pirate hat. His blue hair hung out in 2 braids. The most noticeable feature was his nose, which is bright red and circular like a clown's. He appears to be the captain of the ship.
Another pirate was on lookout duty besides him. "Captain Buggy, sir! There appears to be something flying in our direction!" he shouted in alarm as he spotted something.
"Well then, flashily shoot it down with the cannon!" the clown man ordered.
"Yes Sir!" The pirate complied.
With Luffy
Luffy was not having much of a good time; being caught in a bird's beak isn't in most cases. Then his day got worse when an explosion sounded close to him. He felt the beak open up and suddenly he was freefalling. Soon he landed in a crater, which just so happens to be where the 3 pirates and the orange-haired girl was located.
"S-someone just fell from the sky!" one of the 3 pirates stuttered out.
"Oww… Why was there a cannonball all of a sudden?" Luffy moaned as he dusted himself off. He then looked around him and noticed the girl "Eh? Who are you?"
"Boss, you're here to save me!" the girl cried out. In truth she had no idea who this kid was, but if it can help her get away…
"I'll leave this to you!" she shouted as she sprinted off.
"She's getting away!" a pirate shouted.
"It doesn't matter anymore. We have her boss here! He's trying to protect her!" another said as they advanced on the rubber boy.
"Hey do you guys have any food?" Luffy was completely oblivious to what is going on.
"Don't you screw with us!" one of them shouted and threw a punch at Luffy's face. Due to his rubber body Luffy didn't feel a thing. However the force of the blow did cause something else; it made Luffy's straw hat come off his head.
Luffy's eyes turned hard at this.
POW! POW! BAM!
"Don't touch my treasure." Luffy stated with a slight edge to his voice, as he casually flexed his arm as the pirate laid battered and bruised around him. All this was taken in by the orange haired girl who was watching him from the rooftop.
"Wow! You're really strong!" the girl claimed, amazed. "You beat up those pirates just by yourself!"
"Huh?" Luffy asked confused.
"We should work together! My name is Nami, I'm a thief that steals from pirates!" the girl proposed. Luffy did not seem interested in the prospect until Nami brought up a very enticing bargin: "I'll treat you!"
"Really?!" and just like that Luffy's attention was bought. It really seems that a way to a man's head is through his stomach.
Meanwhile
Buggy the Clown was not a happy camper right now.
"What you do mean you haven't caught the thief yet?!" He demanded to his terrified crew.
"I-I just sent three people after her Buggy-sama!" one of the pirates squeaked out.
"How the hell did we lose the map that easily anyway? We were just about to set sail for the Grand Line!" The clown man muttered impatiently.
"We uh we accidently left the key in the… key hole…" Another pirate whispered sheepishly. This would've been the end of that discussion, however it seems that Buggy has a hearing problem…
" . ?!" the clown pirate demanded.
"I said that it isn't going to be a big-"The underling never got the chance to finish his sentence before Buggy exploded in a fit of rage.
"IS MY NOSE BIG?!" Buggy demanded. The truth is the nose is indeed quite big and shiny like a clown's. Hence his name. "SHOULD I COVER IT UP?!"
The pirate feebly tried to get away but found himself being lifter into the air by a pair of hands.
"Buggy-sama's Devil Fruit…" The other underlings looked in shock.
"Who am I?"
"C-Captain Buggy!" The pirate answered.
"And what do I do with people who mock me?!"
"Y-You kill them sir!"
"That I do, and now unfortunately I need an example of that" Buggy stated. The pirate's eyes widened in horror.
"NO! PLEASE! I WON'T SAY ANYTHIN AGAIN!" he pleaded in vain.
"Ready the Buggy Ball Cannon!" Buggy shouted.
"NO! WAIT-!" the man never got the chance to finish.
"Die flashily!"
The cannon was fired and a huge explosion occurred. When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the man left.
"Now, get my map back and take all the treasure in this town!" Buggy commanded.
"Yes, Sir!"
Back with Luffy and Nami
As promised, Nami treated Luffy to some lunch and the straw hat boy was taking full advantage of that. "This is delicious! Do you live here by yourself?" Luffy asked with a mouthful of food.
"Oh, I don't live in this town. All the people here ran away because they were afraid of Buggy." Nami answered.
"So you just break and enter then?"
"That's quite rude. I only steal from pirates and no one else." Nami retorted
"But you're a thief." Luffy stated matter of fact. Upon hearing this Nami looked away. Her eyes were quite determined.
"I will earn 100,000,000 beri, no matter what. And now that I have the map to the Grand Line that won't be a dream anymore!"
"A map huh, are you a navigator?" Luffy asked. This is an important question after all!
"Yep! I'm the best navigator you'll ever meet!" Nami claimed with confidence. It wasn't a lie; her skills in navigation really are impressive.
"That's great! You should join my crew! We need a navigator right now!" Luffy smiled. What luck!
"Really?" Nami as well was rather happy about joining such a strong person.
"Yeah! We'll have lots of fun as pirates!" And just like that, the big smile on the girl's face turned upside down.
"I refuse! I hate pirates more than anything in the world! I like money and tangerines!" the girl rebutted.
"C'mon! Be our navigator!" Luffy tried again.
"No!"
"Huh, that's too bad" Luffy shrugged and went back to eating.
Suddenly Nami got an idea. "Actually, now that I think of it, I can join your crew. Under one condition that is." She said with a devious smirk.
Luffy leaned in.
Meanwhile
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE THIEF ESCAPED?!" Buggy shouted. "HOW CAN YOU LET HER ESCAPE?!"
The underlings were all cowering in fear at his tone. Then one pirate came running back with some news.
"Buggy-sama! The thief from before came back! She has something with her!" Everyone turned to see Nami returning with Monkey D. Luffy tied up.
"I captured the thief Captain Buggy! I have the map of the Grand Line that he took!" Nami announced.
"Thank you for returning my map! But what made you change your mind?" Buggy asked.
"You tricked me Nami!" Luffy cried on the side.
"I had an argument with my boss and now I've had enough of him. Also I'd like to join the Buggy Pirates." Nami said.
Buggy narrowed his eyes at this, and all was silent for a few seconds. Then he burst into laughter. "Gyahahaha! You sure are an interesting woman! Alright, you can join my crew!" Nami simply smiled.
"Pirates are so easy to fool!" she thought triumphantly.
"Hey why am I in a cage?!" Luffy asked as he was placed in one. He was ignored as everyone was preparing for something.
"Gyahahahaha! Now that my map is back I'm in a good mood! What's your name, girl?" Buggy laughed. After hearing the name he laughed again! "Well then, let's have a welcoming party for our newest member Nami!"
The party was quite eventful. Lots of food and drink was passed around and merriment all around. Nami even got into a drinking contest with some of the other pirates and came out on top. Luffy was on the side staring glumly at all the food that he wished he could eat.
"I'll have to be patient if I want to steal the map again." Nami thought. "Then I'll take all of Buggy's treasure as well. There should be a hefty amount there."
"I'm having a great time today! Men, prepare the special Buggy Bomb!" Buggy exclaimed. Soon the same cannon from earlier was brought out along with a cannonball with the Buggy Pirates Jolly Roger painted on it. The pirates aimed in at a building, teeming with excitement.
"FIRE!"
The cannonball tore through rows of buildings with no trouble. Buggy cackled while Nami and Luffy could only watch in shock.
With Gian and Zoro
Meanwhile the two crewmembers had arrived at the docks and they were greeted with a massive explosion.
"Is the demolition company in town or something?" Gian quipped.
"That's Captain Buggy's Buggy Bomb!" the pirates whispered fearfully.
"How much do you wanna bet that our captain is there?" Zoro said.
"You just want my money don't you? C'mon let's get him out of there." The two raced towards the scene.
Back with Buggy
"Now that's a flashy display! Hey Nami! With my Devil Fruit power and my Buggy Balls I'll conquer the Grand Line in no time right?" Buggy laughed triumphantly.
"Yup!" Nami said quickly.
"Hey! The one who'll conquer the Grand Line is me! I'm going to be the King of Pirates!" Luffy shouted from the side.
"Shut up you idiot!" Nami scolded.
"Now I can tell why you can't stand him" Buggy said, then his smile turned sinister. "As a gift, I'll let you kill him as a testament to your loyalty!"
"Eh?" Nami's blood ran cold at that; this was not a part of her plan…
"Prepare the next cannon!"
"T-that won't be necessary! We should just ignore him and continue with the party!" Nami tried to talk them out. Buggy on the other hand didn't budge.
"This is how we party! Do it!"
Nami was handed a match and every pirate was goading her on to light it up. Nami looked at the cannon and to Luffy with a worried expression.
"Your hand is shaking." Luffy commented, shocking her "it's what happens when you're not mentally prepared."
"Prepare for what? To kill people? Like how other pirates do?" Nami asked, somewhat offended.
Luffy grinned. "Nope! It's when you're not mentally prepared to put your life on the line!"
Nami was surprised at this and didn't know how to respond. Before she could say anything a pirate grabbed the match from her. "You're taking too long! Here, I'll help you out."
Nami panicked as the pirate moved the match closer to the fuse. Without hesitation she whipped out a 3 sticks and snapped them together into a staff. The pirate ended up receiving a slam on the head.
"Crap… I didn't even realize what I was doing…!" she thought.
"What do you think you're doing Nami?!" Buggy demanded angrily.
"Hey! Thanks for saving me!" Luffy called out. Nami scowled and whipped back to the imprisoned boy.
"Don't take this the wrong way! I didn't do it for you, I did it because of my own feelings! Pirates took someone precious from me, someone that I care about! I'll never become a pirate but I won't stoop to their level either!"
"Huh, so that's why…" Luffy was broken out of his thoughts when he smelled something burning. He looked up and reacted in horror to what he saw "AHHH! IT LIT UP!"
Indeed the fuse had been lit. Nami was rather horrified as well, the rest of the Buggy Pirates were not amused however…
"I knew you couldn't be trusted! Boys! Flashily kill her and the straw hat one!" Buggy yelled.
"Put out the fire!" Luffy was more concerned with that.
While being chased by pirates, Nami looked around for anything to put the fire out with no success. Seeing there being no other way, she instead took to grabbing the fuse with her hands and putting it out that way. The fire singed her skin and she bit back a scream as she felt her hands getting burned.
"Phew… Behind you!" Luffy warned and Nami turned to see a group of pirates charge at them with cutlasses drawn. Before they could do anything though, a blast of heat shot past her and carved a line between her and the pirates. The stunned pirates barely registered that when they were struck by the blunt edge of swords. A few were knocked around before gathering themselves.
"Zoro! Gian!" Luffy cheered as his two nakama showed up. "Did you guys get lost?"
"We nearly did… that swordsman… ran in the opposite direction…" Gian panted as his dorsal fins retracted into his body.
"Shut up! Your directions were terrible!" Zoro snapped.
"I'm so glad you're here! Hurry up and free me!"
"On it… just let me catch my breath." Gian said as he tried to gather his strength. He really shouldn't use any more Atom Beams if he wanted to stay in top condition.
The rest of the pirates were surprised to see the two newcomers. "D-did they just call one of them Roronoa Zoro? As in the 'Pirate Hunter'"? They fearfully whispered. Buggy glared at the two.
"So… you're Roronoa Zoro. Are you here to capture me?" the clown man asked.
"Hmph, I'm no longer a bounty hunter anymore, so I'm not interested in your head." The green haired swordsman replied. Buggy's mouth twisted into a grin.
"Oh, but I'm interesting in taking yours! It will increase my fame tenfold when people hear that 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro died at my hand!" Buggy declared.
"Don't even try, I'll kill you…" Zoro growled.
"Will you now?" Buggy taunted as he drew a knife.
Buggy charged at Zoro, intent of skewering him with the blade. Zoro saw the attack coming however and easily dodged the attack. He then drew his own swords, cutting the Clown pirate into pieces.
"Well that was anti-climactic." Gian scoffed. However he looked up he noticed that the other pirates weren't shocked were scared at all; they were laughing out loud!
"What's so funny?" Luffy was puzzled.
"Something isn't right here…" Gian frowned. Zoro thought something's up as well. It was then that they noticed the body of Buggy. The cut up pieces were not bleeding.
Suddenly to everyone's (minus the Buggy Pirates) surprise, Buggy appeared behind Zoro with his knife drawn. Zoro reacted too late as he felt the blade enter his side and he cried out in pain.
"Zoro!" Luffy shouted.
Buggy was cackling in triumph as the swordsman clutched his now bleeding wound. His hand was still detached from his arm and floating in midair.
"H-how is that possible?" Nami choked out.
"Gyahahaha! I ate the Bara-Bara no Mi! I'm a splitting man! Your attacks are useless against me Roronoa Zoro!" Buggy laughed.
"Dammit! Zoro stay back, you're at a disadvantage here." Gian leaped forward and delivered a sweeping kick to Buggy's torso only for the clown to split in half and avoid the attack. The pirate then drew another knife and Stabbed both of them into Gian's shoulders. "Too slow!" he declared.
Gian grunted in pain and pulled the two blades out, the flow of blood quickly lessened as the wound closed. "Healing power huh… Well it doesn't matter! That wound I inflicted on Roronoa Zoro is still serious! This battle is over!"
"HEY! Attacking someone from behind is cowardly ya big nose!" They then heard Luffy yell out angrily. Nami was horrified while Gian and Zoro simply chuckled.
Buggy's face darkened "Who… has… A… BIG… NOSE?!" he shouted. His hand shot forward once again but Luffy managed to avoid it.
"I'm gonna kick your ass!" Luffy shouted.
"Kick my ass? I'll kill all four of you!" Buggy shot back.
"Gian, Zoro run away!" Luffy commanded.
"What?! They came to rescue you and you're telling them to escape?!" Nami was flabbergasted. The other two however smirked as they caught on to what they were gonna do.
"You're not going anywhere! Bara-Bara Hou!" Buggy declared as he send his hand towards the two. Gian and Zoro were dodging left and right as the repeated assaults rained down on them, somehow able to emerge unscathed. Nami finally realized the plan as the two of them reached a familiar object: the cannon.
"W-wait! There's still a Buggy Ball in there!" The rest of the pirates caught onto the plan as well. Nami smirked as she lit the fuse.
"The bomb has been planted!" Gian yelped as he rushed to Luffy's cage. He lifted it up and freed his captain with little effort "I'm so glad I've been working out…"
"Wait! Stop! That's dangerous you're gonna kill us!" Buggy and his crew yelped and scrambled to get away. The cannon then detonated and the resulting explosion knocked many pirates out. Those who weren't effected were blocked by the thick veil of smoke that covered the Strawhat pirates' escape.
"What an explosive way to begin the day! Skrehahaha!" Gian chuckled in mirth.
"Does he do that often?" Nami sweatdropped.
"Many, many times…" Zoro sighed.
