Chapter 12
Buggy continued to zoom toward Nami. "PUT MY TREASURE DOWN!"
"Crap! He noticed me!"
"Since when did you think you could fool me, Nami! Let me send you painfully to the netherworld!"
Aurora glanced at Luffy and he was looking at Buggy's lower half.
'I think he has an idea…'
"I'm not giving you a single thing!" Aurora heard Nami shout. She turned back to them.
"KUHCK!"
Buggy froze in place.
"Huh?"
Nami looked wide-eyed at Luffy. Aurora winced when she saw what he did.
"Ooh…"
If you're wondering what happened, let's just say Luffy kicked Buggy in a certain place.
"ARRRGHHH!" Buggy got out, falling to the ground. "D... Damn Gomu Gomu kid! Dare to kick my bottom half…!"
"Your opponent… is still me." Luffy said, turning to Buggy with his hands on his hips and a grin on his face.
Nami sighed in relief. "I'm alive…"
Luffy pointed at the treasure she was holding. "Oi! Put that treasure down and go somewhere safer! You're going to get chased again otherwise!"
"Put the treasure down and go!" Nami asked incredulously. "I don't want to! Why should I leave my treasure behind?"
"Y…your treasure…!" Buggy asked.
"Of course! Since I'm a pirate treasure thief and I just stole from a pirate, I'm telling you this treasure is mine!"
"Ah… I see…" Luffy replied.
Aurora shook her head. "She's just putting herself in more danger."
"WHAT NONSENSE! THAT TREASURE'S MINE! DO YOU THINK THAT IF YOU STEAL IT IT'S YOURS! HOW THE HELL WERE YOU BROUGHT UP?"
"A lecture from a bad guy? Stop that nonsense…"
"What!"
"I don't think I've done anything bad enough to be lectured by a pirate!" Nami said, sticking her tongue out at Buggy.
"You're prepared for this, aren't you, Nami…! Ba… ra… Ba… ra…"
Aurora's eyes widened when both halves started to move.
"FESTIVAL!"
"Ack!" Nami clutched the bag, moving away.
"What?" Luffy questioned.
"KUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SEE IF YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR FRIEND NOW!" Buggy cackled, his body parts heading for Nami.
"Damn it! There should be a limit to this Bara Bara! If it's like this, there's no way I can fight him!"
Luffy looked down. "Huh?"
Aurora followed his gaze and saw Buggy's feet.
"What's this? The feet can't fly?"
"GIVE ME BACK MY TREASURE!" Buggy screamed.
"I won't!" Nami shouted back, running from him.
"Gotcha! You foot!" Luffy said triumphantly. He pulled the foot out of the shoe.
"Huh?"
Luffy started to tickle the bottom of the foot.
"PUHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE… ST… STOP… KUHEHEH!"
"GYAAAAH…?" Nami still ran from Buggy.
"How's this!" Luffy smashed Buggy's toes against the ground.
"AAAAAHH…!"
Nami looked back. "Ahck! What?"
"You're pretty tough…" Luffy commented, pinching the skin on Buggy's foot.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Buggy's eyes popped out of his head.
"Kyaaah…!" Buggy turned to look at Luffy. "Stop it you idiot!"
Luffy and Aurora both sweat dropped. Meanwhile, Nami stopped running.
"The one that's got to stop… IS YOU!"
Nami hit Buggy with the bag of treasure.
"Ooh!"
Aurora looked at the two in shock. Buggy was grinning and had grabbed hold of the bag. Nami was shocked too.
"The treasure… has been returned…!"
"Huh…! Let go!" Nami said, tugging the bag in her direction.
"Let go…? The one who should let it go is you!"
Luffy charged toward the two, while they continued there tug-of-war.
"IT'S MY TREASURE!"
Buggy pointed his knives at Nami. Luffy pulled his leg back when he was closer.
"I just told you that your opponent… IS ME!"
Luffy kicked Buggy hard in the face. The bag of treasure went with him, and Nami fell to the ground. Buggy's body parts stopped moving and fell to the ground. His head lay on the bag of treasure that had spilled onto the ground.
"Bulls-eye!" Luffy wiped some blood off his face. "That last kick… was for the village chief!"
"Thank you. Thanks to you, I'm alive."
"Hmmm… don't worry about it." Luffy then remembered something. "Oh yeah! The map…"
"Aah! My treasure got scattered everywhere!"
Luffy held up the now acquired map. "Alright! I've finally got it. The "Grand Line" map!"
"Wait…! Wait, Gomu Gomu kid!"
Aurora looked over at Buggy in shock. 'How is he still awake!'
Nami and Luffy were surprised too.
"Eh? You're still alive."
"I'll kill you once and for all! Gather up! Bara Bara parts!"
Aurora put a hand over her mouth, trying not to laugh… and failing. Giggles leaked out and her eyes started to water.
"EH!" Buggy was shocked. He only consisted of his head and feet. None of his other body parts came back.
"You wouldn't happen to be looking… for these, would you?" Nami asked. She had a rope in her hand. Buggy's other body parts had been tied up.
"Yikes! My body parts!"
Luffy pulled both his arms back. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A thief definitely has some cool skills! Leave the rest to me! Get lost, Buggy… Gomu Gomu…"
"STOOOOOOOPPP!"
"BAZOOKA!"
Luffy's arms shot forward and he punched Buggy with his palms, sending him flying.
Aurora smiled. "We finally won."
Luffy punched both his fists in the air. "Victory! Now you're gonna become my crew member, right?"
He turned to Nami and Aurora looked at her as well.
"I'm just cooperating with you while it serves my purpose, remember that! I'll say okay for now, since it seems that if I go along with you guys I'll be able to earn a lot!"
Nami hugged the bag of treasure lovingly. "Buggy said that he only takes the best treasures for himself, so this bag's contents are of the highest quality! This much treasure should be worth at least 10 million beli!"
Luffy went over and grabbed his hat.
"I've divided it into two bags so you hold half of it. This treasure is so heavy that carrying it alone is difficult."
Luffy looked down at his ruined hat.
"That hat… is it that precious to you?"
Luffy put his hat back on, grinning. "Yeah, but it's alright. I feel better now that I got rid of Buggy!"
He walked over to where Zoro and Aurora were. The half-angel slowly stood up, still a bit drained from using her angel powers.
"Oi Zoro, get up! Let's go!"
"Hmm?" Zoro sat up. "Did you finish the fight…?"
"Yeah, we also got the map and the treasure."
"Aah I don't think I can walk yet." Zoro said, holding his head.
"Obviously! If you guys can still walk, then you aren't human…"
"Why did you include me?" Luffy asked.
"YOU'RE THE WEIRDEST!"
"Oh yeah." Luffy remembered. "I'll wake up the chief!"
"You guys…" someone said. The group turned and saw the villagers.
"We're the people of this village. Did the pirates stir up a fight amongst themselves…? If you know anything please tell us…"
"Oh… so you're the villagers. I think some of the pirate crew are still here. If you want us to tell you then there isn't anything much left to tell you…"
"AH! CHIEF!"
"Uh-oh…" Aurora squeaked out. The villagers rushed over to him.
"Goodness gracious! Please get up!"
"Dammit! What the hell happened here!" another guy asked.
"It's definitely the work of those pirates!"
"Ah, sorry… I did that to the chief!" Luffy said.
"What?" the villagers turned to him, drawing their weapons in anger.
Aurora sweat dropped while Nami smacked Luffy on the back of his head and yelled at him.
"Hey! Why did you tell them that kinda thing on purpose…"
"You saw me do it, right?"
"I know, but still! That was because you had a good reason…"
The villagers pointed their weapons at them.
"All of you, how dare you do this to our chief…"
"It doesn't matter what sort of excuse you give us! Who the hell are you! Could you be pirates!"
'Ooh… if we didn't know any better, and just said "We're thieves" or "We're pirates" then it'd be instant death…!' Nami thought.
"We are pirates!" Luffy replied. Nami fell over and so did Aurora.
"So you are!"
"Hahaha!" Zoro was laughing, but Nami was mad.
"BAKA!" Nami roared.
"But it's the truth!"
Luffy grabbed Zoro and Aurora grabbed the second treasure bag Nami had.
"Let's run away!"
"Aah! They're running away! Chase them!"
"Yipes!" Nami squeaked. Aurora ran alongside her.
"We won't let you get away! We'll pay you back for what you did to the chief!"
"Why the hell did you make the situation more complicated?" Nami asked.
"This is a good village!"
"Wha…?" Nami wondered. They heard the villagers behind them, but paid attention to Luffy.
"For their chief, for just one person… they're all getting that mad! No matter what excuse we give, they'll still be mad at us!"
An alley was coming up and they ran to it.
"They're running away through an alley!"
"Woof!" Shushu barked at the villagers, baring his teeth.
"Ooh!"
"Shushu!" Nami cried.
"Aah, that dog!"
Aurora smiled. 'Thanks Shushu.'
"Hey Shushu! Move out of the way, quickly! Those guys are bad pirates!"
"Woof! Woof! Grrrrr! Woof woof!"
"Why are you stopping us? Shushu!"
"Woof!"
"Shushu!" a man yelled. "Move out of the way now!"
"Woof! Woof!"
Thanks to Shushu, they were able to get back to the ship easily.
"I was getting pretty worried. Thanks to Shushu we barely got away. Why does it always end up this way?"
"Who cares what they think… we did what we came to do!"
"Well, it's not quite like that."
"Is this your boat?" Luffy asked. "Wah! It's cool. I envy you."
Nami sweat dropped. "I don't think so; I stole it from a bunch of stupid pirates."
"We have been waiting for you, thief!"
"You… you guys are…"
"Not them again…" Aurora groaned quietly.
"We knew you'd come back if we stayed here."
"Hehehehe! I never dreamed that we'd see this boat again in this very harbor after you stole it."
"You won't be able to say that you've forgotten us!"
"You know them?" Luffy asked Nami.
"Hmm…! Sort of…"
"Sort of! We have a long history!"
"So you have a gang now? I guess we get to teach you all a lesson."
"Wrong." Aurora stated, walking out from behind the others and leaving the treasure next to Luffy. The trio took one look at her and jumped into the water, swimming away as fast as they could.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" they screamed as they swam away.
Nami and Luffy blinked before turning to the half-angel.
"What was that about?" Nami asked.
Aurora rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Oh… nothing."
She decided to let it go and they deposited the things into the boats. Aurora was with Nami and Luffy and Zoro were in the other boat.
"Okay, let's go!" Luffy noticed something on Nami's sail. "Hey, that flag has Buggy's mark on it."
"It was those pirates boat so of course it does. I'll erase it later."
"STOP RIGHT THERE YOU MORONS!" someone yelled. They turned and saw that it was Boodle.
"Mister Chief!"
Boodle didn't speak for a moment, trying to regain his breath from running. He looked up, a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. "I'M SORRY! I OWE YOU!"
Zoro and Nami smiled, while Luffy grinned. Aurora smiled as well.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! JUST LIVE HAPPY LIVES!"
They continued to sail away… the moment was ruined though.
"What? You left the treasure behind! I gave you half of it, didn't I! That's five million beli!"
"Yeah, but since half of the village was destroyed it will take some money to repair it."
"That's my treasure!"
"Stop it! I can't swim!" Luffy cried, trying to keep from going over the side of the ship due to Nami. "If you want it so badly, go and take it back from them!"
"How could I do that! If you ever do that again, you're dead!"
Zoro laughed and Aurora just shook her head at the two.
Their new companion, Nami "The Thief" has joined the journey and the two boats continue sailing on the sea…
"What're you laughing at?"
"SHUT UP!"
Bonk!
"It doesn't hurt…"
But they don't know that on the next island they land at, "The Forest Judgement" awaits…
