Chapter 4: Nami got some spunk!
(3 Days later)
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, were currently sitting on top of Lochie's head discussing their next set of plans.
"So let me get this straight. for the past 10 years you've been training with your grandfather and he taught you to improve your Haki and the Six Powers? And now you want get more crew members and help each of us to get stronger?" Zoro asked Luffy.
"Yup" Luffy replied.
"Sounds like a good plan to me. Zoro said.
"Not a good one though. By the way how are we going to able to stay off the government's radar?" Nami asked.
"We're not. The World Government are going to find out about us sooner than later because as soon as we get Sanji, we're training immediately. I won't let any of my crew get hurt by anyone. Luffy said determination in his voice. He wasn't going to make the same mistakes again. This time, He will be strong enough to save Ace.
"Well since you put it like that, I guess there's no talking you out of this one right?" Nami sighed.
"Nope."
"So, what's the next course of action? Captain?" Zoro said.
"Well next we have to deal Buggy, and then we'll head to Syrup Village." Luffy said.
"Since nobody is going to be a challenge for me, call on me when we reach Usopp's location. Zoro said while proceeding to fall asleep. He didn't feel like dealing with Cabaji's pathetic attempt at swordplay.
"Well since Zoro isn't participating in taking down Buggy we got about 24 hours left until we make it to Orange Town, how about I train you now Nami?" Luffy asked.
"For each lesson that you want to teach me will cost you 100,000 belis each. Nami said smugly.
"What! Grrr Fine!" Luffy said in an annoyed tone. How could she tax Luffy for trying to help HER out?
"Good, Now what do you want to teach me?"
"I want to teach you to use Armament Haki and how to use Shave. Plus, I want to improve your Bojutsu skills." Luffy said.
" I can understand the other 2 but why Bojutsu? Nami asked curiously.
" Because there will be a lot of enemies that will be able to get close to you and I want you to versatile with long range and close range. Now I'm about to clad my arm in Armament Haki and I want you to practice hitting each spot where my hand will appear with your staff. I won't go easy on you and for each spot you miss, I'll hit you with a blast of Conqueror's Haki."
Nami was starting to reconsider this training but she wanted to get stronger because she was tired of feeling weak and started to strengthen her resolve.
"Ok." She pulled out her Clima Tact from her bra.
"Let's begin."
While Luffy was getting ready to train Nami, He couldn't help but to think about his grandfather.
"Looks like I'll have to tell him the truth, sooner or later." Luffy thought.
(2 Days Before)
Back at the port, A Marine ship was beginning to dock. Garp decided to jump down onto the ground and began walking towards the Marine Base. While he was walking, he heard people whispering things such as...
"Is that Garp The Hero?!"
"I Can't Believe Garp The Hero Is Here!"
"Is he here to take Morgan away?"
Garp heard all of the commotion but decided to tune it out until he got the Marine Base. "I can't wait to see how grown Luffy has become. That boy will be Admiral in no time." Garp said excitedly to his self. When Garp to the Marine Base, he noticed 2 things wrong with it. 1.) There wasn't anyone to greet him at the gate. 2.) The Marine Base looked like it was sliced in half.
"What the hell happened here?" Garp asked the soldier that came rushing to salute him.
"Sir! There was an incident that happened here a day ago." The random soldier replied respectfully.
"Who's the person in charge here?" Garp asked while walking to the building. "Dammit! Please let this not be Luffy's work.
"That would be me Sir." Commander Ripper came up to Garp and saluted him. "I'm so sorry for the mess. Vice Admiral Garp. We had an corrupted Marine Captain as Commander of the this base, but recently a small trio of pirates came and defeated him. he was arrested and locked in a jail cell below the Marine base." Ripper explained to Garp.
"What the pirates name? Garp asked.
"Monkey. , Roronoa Zoro, and we don't know the identity of the third one, but she has orange long hair. The man named Roronoa Zoro is the man who had sliced the building in half." Ripper said.
"Dammit Luffy! You just had to cause some trouble already? Didn't you?" Garp thought. He really couldn't blame Luffy for his actions, but Luffy and his crewmate might've went overboard with destroying the Marine Base.
" By the way Sir, the pirate left a letter for you." Ripper handed a letter to Garp. It was addressed to Garp.
"Thank you, Commander." Garp said to Ripper. He proceeded to open to the letter and read to himself.
Dear Gramps,
I'm sorry for tricking you into training me. I have a perfect explanation for it but, I can't tell you the reason now. I promise I will explain it to you later. How about you accept the young boy named Coby as an apology? I promise you he has the potential to become a great Admiral. Also, there's another person I want you to take along. He's the corrupted marine Captain's son. He also has potential too. I'm sorry gramps. I promise I'll tell you everything.
Signed, Luffy
"That cheeky brat! How dare he pull a fast one over his grandpa! When I see him, He's getting a extra dose of my "Fist of Love". Garp said to himself.
"Where is the boy named Coby at?" Garp asked Ripper.
"One second Sir, Coby! Come here!" Ripper yelled Coby's name.
Coby who was inside the first half of the building came rushing out. "Yes! Commander Ripper Sir!"
"This man wants to talk to you." Ripper told him. Coby glanced to his side and almost fainted. Coby was lost at words because the man that was standing in front of him was none other than Vice Admiral, Garp The Hero. Garp started to analyze the kid.
"Hmm he doesn't seem Marine material, but Hey! That's what they said about Kuzan!" Bwahahaha!" Garp said laughing.
"Hey you want to come with me?" Garp asked Coby.
Coby was shocked that Garp asked him that. He couldn't refuse such a offer. "YES SIR! I PROMISE I WILL TRY MY BEST TO BECOME A GREAT MARINE! Coby said shouting. He will definitely not let Garp down.
"This boy got spirit. By the way, bring the Captain's son to my ship also. Come on brat." Garp said
"Yes Sir!" Coby said. He couldn't believe that he was going to get trained by the best Vice Admiral in the Navy.
"Thank You Luffy. I promise we'll see each other again one day. Coby said staring in the sky.
(Present Day)
The next several hours, Luffy and Nami were training intensely. Nami was drenched in sweat because of the training. She managed to get hit by 10 waves of pure unconcentrated Conqueror's Haki. After the first 7 blasts, she almost passed out 4 times and felt like giving up. But, she remembered that she wanted to get stronger. After 6 hours of practicing, Luffy saw that Nami was starting to improve drastically. She was actually improving her speed in a alarming rate of speed. She actually managed to keep with Luffy for 30 minutes without getting hit with a Haki blast wave. "Maybe I should have Zoro teach her Armament after we leave Orange Town." Luffy thought.
"Okay Nami. That's it for the night. Tomorrow morning, I'll have you fighting against whole crew by yourself." Luffy told her.
"WHAT?! WHY?" Nami yelled.
"Because I want you to continue your training while fighting against them. It'll help you better than just sparring with me constantly. If I sense you feeling like your about to get overwhelmed, I'll help out. Don't worry. Plus, you got to remember that this is the East Blue. These guys will be a peace of cake for you. Luffy winked at her.
"Ugh! Fine! All this training had better pay off!" Nami said annoyed.
After Luffy and Nami got done training, Zoro decided to take watch for the night while Luffy and Nami rested. The night sky was glistening with stars and the sea seemed calm. Zoro took the time to practice on his Observation Haki. He closed his eyes and started to focus on how far he can sense others. After 10 minutes of searching, he finally picked up on 3 weak familiar auras. These were the guys that woke up him up in the other timeline, attempting to rob him. Instantly he felt irritated that he let these idiots get so close to him while he was sleeping. He was contemplating if he wanted to slice their ship in half right now or let Luffy deal with them? He finally decided to deal with them. Zoro unsheathed his Wado Ichimonji and in one swift movement, raised his sword in the air and swung it back down, causing a crescent shaped flying slash fly directly towards the three.
The three Buggy Pirates didn't even notice a flying slash coming towards them until it was too late. In a flash the ship was sliced in half, resulting in all 3 of them drowning to their deaths. "Looks like that took care of them." Zoro grumbled.
That ended Zoro's night.
(The Next Morning)
"Ay Guys. We're here." Luffy said.
"Hey witch, you ready for your next lesson?" Zoro said tauntingly towards Nami.
"Let's just hurry this up so I can increase both of you guy's debt. Nami said grinning evilly. Both of shivered.
"Anyways how do you want to do this Nami? Do you want me to fly us over there?" Luffy asked her.
"Actually I want to try a new move I've been thinking about. Nami said while grabbing her Clima Tact from her T-shirt.
"GUST SHOT!"
All of a sudden, a strong burst of wind shot through Nami's propelling herself forward in an amazing speed.
"Wait for me Nami! Lochie be good and I'll bring back some delicious pet food." Luffy said to Lochie.
"Don't be too long or I might just change my mind and come join in on some fun." Zoro told him.
Luffy jumped off Lochie's head and Moon Walked towards Nami. Nami was speechless. She haven't felt a exhilarating rush like this since she rode the waver on Sky Island. She was literally flying over the town towards Buggy's location. She then pointed her staff downward and shouted.
"BREEZE SHOT!"
Soft compressed air waves started shooting out of the staff, helping her descend gently.
"Just to let you know there's about 45 guys down there armed." Luffy said descending with her.
"Tch! Ok!"
"You ready?"
"Yeah."
...
Buggy was not having a good day. About 2 days ago, he lost his map to enter the Grand Line to the Marines. So here he was sitting in his tent, thinking about his next course of action.
"Damn those Marines! How dare they take what was mines! Now how are we going to get into the Grand Line Now?" He said to himself. He could just go steal it back but Buggy was too much of an coward to confront the Marines.
"HEY BIG NOSE! COME ON OUT!"
Buggy froze. Who would be so foolish to say the forbidden words. He got up and ran out of his tent to look for the culprits responsible.
"WHO SAID THOSE WORDS!" Buggy yelled furiously. He looked at each of his men. He was really to use a Buggy ball on one of them.
"Captain. None of them said those words." Cabaji said trying to calm his captain down.
"IF IT WASN'T THEM, THEN WHO SAID IT?" Buggy yelled.
"UP HERE!"
Buggy looked up and was by what he saw. Two unfamiliar faces descending towards them. Who were these people?
"Who the hell are you?" Buggy asked.
"Monkey. , Future Pirate King. Nice to meet ya." Luffy clicked his tongue at Buggy.
"Oh! Well it's nice to meet ya-I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE BASTARD!" Buggy yelled.
"Well you did just asked me who am I." Luffy replied.
I'm sorry for my-I SAID I DIDN'T CARE! WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Buggy yelled.
"Oh. I'm here training my crewmates before we head to the Grand Line. Anyways I would like to begin her lesson. Nami whenever you're ready." Luffy told Nami.
"Let's get this over with."
"Looks like someone wants to die in a FLASHY manner. MEN! READY THE BUGGY BALL!" Buggy yelled. The men started to point a cannon towards Nami.
"Crap!" Nami said.
The men loaded the Buggy Ball into the cannon and lit the fuse. The Buggy Ball shot towards Nami. Nami saw the Buggy Ball fly towards her was about to jump out of the way but stopped and side stepped out of the way and watched it fly past her.
"Is it me or that Buggy Ball seemed slower than usual?" Nami thought.
Luffy saw she was thinking to herself and smirked. "Looks like she doesn't even notice the training was paying off already." Luffy thought.
Meanwhile, Buggy and his crew was staring dumbfoundedly. How was she able to dodge a blast like that at close range by only side stepping out of the way?!
"MEN! KILL HER! Buggy yelled. All of his men started to run towards her.
"Nami. Get ready." Luffy said in a low tone.
"I KNOW!"
Nami extended her Clima Tact to it's normal size and RAN towards them. Luffy was shocked she had this much determination within her. Three men ran and jumped into the air to attack her. She saw this and swung her staff into one of the guy's side, resulting in him crashing into the other two. Nami turned and saw a guy running up to stab her in the chest but she also saw this and side stepped out of the way and kneed him in his gut. She turned around and saw about 12 guys loading their guns.
"Don't y'all even think about it!" Nami yelled. She then swung her staff in the air in a circular manner and slammed the ball point into the ground
"LIGHTNING CURRENT!"
Lightning flew out of her staff into the ground and flew under all 12 of the guys feet, sending electricity through them. They all screamed out in agony. She saw the others still running towards her and decided that she should end this quick.
"GUST SHOT!"
Once again Nami launched herself in the air and twisted her body and turned her staff toward the sky.
"GUST SHOT!"
Instead of her descending gently, she shot towards the ground!
"She has something interesting up her sleeve." Luffy smirked.
"JUDGEMENT STRIKE!'
She shot her ball point of the staff into the ground intensely, causing an eruption of black lightning that struck everything in the area. Including Richie the lion! All of Buggy's men were screaming in pure agony. They never felt something so painful as this! After Buggy's men passed out from the intense pain, Buggy was furious and shocked. He couldn't believe his men were easily beaten by one WOMAN! A WOMAN! Luffy was grinning madly. He never knew Nami had such powerful tricks up her sleeve! Nami's cool points have just went up by a 100.
"Whoa! I actually held back 90% of the power because I didn't want to destroy the town." Nami said.
"90%!" Buggy yelled. This woman is dangerous. To think she held back so much truly terrified. Why is she stuck with this guy as captain? That's when Buggy thought of a plan.
"Hey. You know i can use a girl like you. With you we can conquer the Grand Line together." Buggy to her.
"Hm... how about you give 1.5 billion belis and I'll consider it." Nami winked.
"Okay that sounds fair-THAT'S TOO DAMN MUCH!" Buggy yelled.
"Well that means i refuse your offer." Nami said.
While Nami was talking to Buggy, she didn't notice Mohji sneaking up on her.
"Nami. Watch your back." Luffy said lowly.
Nami turned around just in time to see Mohji trying to attack. She jumped and flipped over him and turn her staff backwards.
"BREEZE SHOT"
Small air waves shot out of the staff, giving Nami the momentum to swing her leg into the back of Mohji's neck. Mohji felt his vision got blurry as he passed out.
"She took out Mohji too! Captain! Please let me handle this bitc-" Cabaji wasn't able to finish his sentence because Luffy shot a blast of Haki towards him. All of a sudden, Cabaji collapsed. Buggy was once again shocked.
"Y-YOU HAVE HAKI?!" Buggy asked Luffy.
"Yup and I'm not the only one." Luffy replied.
"WHAT?!" Buggy was speechless. He couldn't believe there were people who had HAKI in the EAST BLUE! The weakest seas of all 6 seas! Who were these people? Suddenly, Buggy noticed something about Luffy, He had a straw hat on top of his hand. Why does that straw hat look familar?
"Hey. Where did you get that straw hat from? Buggy asked Luffy.
"Shanks."
"You mean Red Haired Shanks?!"
"Yup."
"Now it makes perfect sense. The reason why this guy and the girl was so strong! Maybe Shanks trained them himself." Buggy thought.
"Anyway I would gladly stay and explain more but, I got to wrap this up before i have an angry swordsman come to kill me. Nami. Go get his treasure and give half of it to the townsfolks for repairs." Luffy told Nami.
"Already did it. By the way it's your half." Nami said holding a bag full of treasure.
"How the...How the hell did you manage to do that? You was just standing right here while him and I were talking?" Luffy asked.
"That was one of my mirages idiot." Nami replied.
"Oh."
Before Buggy could ask her what she was doing with his gold, luffy shot foward towards him in a blink of an eye.
"GUM GUM BULLET!"
Luffy shot his fist into Buggy's gut, causing him to fall to his knees.
"Curse you straw ha-hat." Was the last thing Buggy managed to say before he collapsed.
"Okay. Let's get back to Lochie before Zoro gets pissed. Oh did the townsfolk accept the treasure?" Luffy asked Nami.
" Yeah. I also told them to wait 48 hours to come back in town. Knowing what you just did to Buggy, He'll definitely show up at Lougetown." Nami said.
"That's the plan."
"Everytime you have a plan, it always end up in chaos." Nami mumbled.
"Shishishishi."
Luffy and Nami Launched off towards Lochie and Zoro's location.
...
"Took y'all long enough. I was about to come to kill some time." Zoro said with one eyelid open.
"Sorry, Sorry. Shishishishi."
"That Idiot thought it was amusing to watch me struggle." Nami said annoyed.
"To be completely honest, i really wasn't there for 10 minutes. I was at the pet store picking out some pet food for Lochie" Luffy said in a nervous tone.
"As soon as we get to Usopp's village, I'm going to fry your balls." Nami said in a calm tone. Luffy shivered and then proceeded to feed Lochie to take his mind off the horrendous thought.
"You guys ready to head Usopp's village now?" Luffy asked them.
"Sure. My muscles are aching for a warm up." Zoro said.
"Whatever. Let's hurry up so i can rest." Nami said.
Lochie then started to accelerate forward and Nami started to shout directions for Lochie to go.
"Here we come Usopp!. Luffy shouted.
...
(6 hours later)
"Captain wake up!"
"Please wake up Captain!"
Buggy was woken up by constant shouting from his crew. He sat up and tried to think about what happened. It all hit him like a train. He was beaten by that guy with the straw hat and his female crew member. Buggy shot up pissed.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!" Buggy asked.
"They're gone Captain. They took everything we had." Cabaji said lowly. he was ashamed of his self.
"THAT STRAW HAT BASTARD AND THAT BITCH WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! MEN! PREPARE THE SHIP! WE'RE GOING TO EXECUTE HIM AND HIS CREW IN A FLASHY WAY!" Buggy yelled.
"YEAHHH!"
Looks like Luffy and the crew won't be making it into the crew so easily. This chapter actually took me 2 days to write because i kept hitting a wall in my brain. Also i know im skipping some things but it's because i felt like they weren't important to me. Btw i will have 2 characters join Luffy before lougetown. And they will have very "unique" personality. Til next time :D
