NOTE: It makes me happy that the first chapter was well received, because it got me excited to write this chapter. I've been playing Pirate Warriors 3 a bit more lately, and the controls feel so weird after playing so much of PW4. Especially, since we can't jump in PW3.
My favorite characters in 3 are Tashigi, Zoro, and Nami. I just love girls with glasses, and Zoro is an absolute badass! If you have any favorite characters in any of the PW games, then tell me.
Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 2: Buggy the Clown
"So, what's next?" Chopper asked.
"Next would be me meeting these two dunderheads," Nami pointed her thumb at Luffy and Zoro.
"WHA! WE GET TO SEE MY CHARMING NAMI-SWAN!" Sanji swooned. He then fell to his knees in despair. "DAMN YOU, MOSS-HEAD! GETTING TO PLAY A LEVEL WITH A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL IN IT!" Sanji cried.
"SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY! NOTHING ABOUT HER SCREAMS 'ANGEL'!" Zoro roared.
"HUH!?" Nami smacked him in the head with her clima-tact.
"OW!"
"Shishishi! Zoro got hit!" Luffy sang.
"SHUT IT!" The swordsman shouted.
Robin chuckled at the crew's usual antics. "I think it's about time we started, right?"
"Yeah, whatever," Zoro replied. He picked the controller back up and entered the episode selection screen.
CHAPTER 1
EPISODE 1:
BUGGY THE CLOWN
"Oh right, we'll have to deal with Buggy…" Nami groaned.
"Who?" Luffy asked.
Both Nami and Zoro stared at him as if he was an idiot. Which, to be fair he was.
"Buggy, you know, the guy who took over that village and almost killed you at Loguetown," Nami tried to remind him.
"Hm, nope doesn't ring a bell."
"The idiot with the clown nose," Zoro said.
"OH! Boogey!"
"THAT'S HOW YOU REMEMBER IT!?" Everyone yelled at him. Robin just continued to giggle, while Zoro shook his head.
The swordsman selected the only episode available, bringing up another small menu.
"Wait, Swordsman, select the treasure event tab," Robin instructed. Zoro shrugged and did as told.
TREASURE EVENT:
Treasure Event 1: Use Zoro to quickly gain control of enemy territory, without taking damage.
Treasure Event 2: Use Luffy to track down Buggy, without leaving allies in a tight spot.
"So, we're meant to replay these multiple times to achieve these conditions. Not everything needs to be done on the first go," Robin said.
"What does it mean by territories though?" Usopp asked.
Robin looked down at the instructions. "It says that the game will explain them and that anything else further will be explained on the next page," She answered.
"Who do we use first? Luffy or Zoro?" Nami asked.
"Me, because I'm playing," Zoro answered as he went into the Character Select screen.
"At least wait for us to add some input!"
"You're talking too much," He replied, annoyed.
"Why you…" Nami growled.
BELI GROWTH:
You can select Beli Growth from the Select Character menu. Raise the level of your character by using Beli. However, the highest possible level is limited to the character with the highest level.
You can also go to Beli Growth from Battle Preparation on the screen before the battle. One of the ways to complete a difficult episode is to increase your character's level.
"Collecting Beli does have its usefulness in this game! You better collect as much as you can, Zoro!" Nami ordered.
"Tch, bothersome woman," He clicked his tongue.
CHARACTER SELECT:
LUFFY: LV.5
ZORO: LV.1
"Ha! Look at how weak you are, Moss-Head!" Sanji taunted.
"Probably, because I was just unlocked, dumbass," Zoro glared at him. Zoro selected himself to play as and went to Beli Growth.
BELI GROWTH:
LV.1 - LV. 1
CURRENT BELI: 139,200
YOU CAN RAISE THE LEVEL UP TO LV.5
"Tch, that's not a lot to work with," Nami complained.
"How is that not enough!?" Usopp asked, baffled.
"We can only go up to 5 anyway, so it's not so bad," Chopper shrugged.
"No, but it'll become an issue once we gain more members. So, collecting as much Beli as possible is the logical choice," Robin said.
Zoro raised his level up to 5, leaving them with only 106,700 Beli left. When he backed out again, he was going to press set sail.
"Wait."
"Why?" Zoro groaned at Robin.
"Press on 'Use Coins'," She instructed.
COIN SETS:
Coins obtained during battle can influence the growth of characters. The type and number of coins necessary for growth are different for every Status.
You can check the list of Coins necessary for the growth of your current character in the Use Coins screen. The list of Coins specifies the type and number of Coins necessary for each Status.
Coins can be set to a character's list at the end of a battle or in the Use Coins screen. A character's Status will grow little by little, according to the number of Coins obtained. When all the Coins specified in the list for that Status have been obtained, the next type of necessary coins will be displayed.
The Strawhats observed Zoro's coin map, taking a look at what they'll need to make him stronger for battle.
"We don't have much of anything at the moment," Chopper said.
"Yes, but as we go along, we should hopefully gain enough coins to make ourselves stronger," Robin told him.
"Robin-Chwan! I'll collect all of the coins in the world to make you stronger!" Sanji declared.
"Thank you, Mr. Cook," Her smile caused him to spin around in happiness.
"Can I start now?" Zoro asked after having the coins automatically dispersed.
"Yes, that should be all we need at the moment," Robin replied.
"Shishishi! Come on, Zoro! Let's get started!"
"Yosh!" Zoro hit 'Set Sail' and allowed the episode to begin.
"Ahh! That was close!"
"I specialize in robbing Pirates!"
"DIE FABULOUSLY!"
"Let's just say we'll "Join forces". Work together for a common goal!"
"How many pirates does it take to handle one girl?"
"If you're king of the pirates, then what am I!? God of the pirates!?"
"Is this what you're looking for?"
"We're not common thieves, we're pirates!"
"THIS IS MY TREASURE!"
"What is this Buggy guy like?" Chopper asked. Robin was wondering the same thing, having not been there to see him.
"Annoying."
"An idiot."
"Red nose."
"That's not an important aspect, Luffy," Usopp said.
"That's the tavern where pirates hang out," Nami explained.
"So? Why are we going?" Luffy asked.
Nami lifted up some rope. "Well, that's…part of the surprise!" She tied Luffy up with the rope.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
"AH! Nami, what are you doing!?" Chopper panicked.
"Shhh! It's okay, Chopper. This was just a plan to steal some treasure from Buggy," Nami explained.
"And almost got us killed," Zoro added.
"SHUT UP!"
[Buggy the Clown: Captain of the Buggy Pirates]
"Ah ha ha! You returned the map, sold out your boss, and joined another crew! Hilarious!" Buggy congratulated Nami.
"I didn't take you for a double agent, Miss Navigator," Robin chuckled.
"Buggy's an idiot, so tricking him was no issue," Nami shrugged. All she had to do was play to the moron's ego and he would be easy prey.
[Nami: The Pirate Robber]
"Pirates are so easy to handle. Getting this treasure will be easier than I thought!" Nami said, mentally.
"Pirates outside of the East Blue wouldn't fall for your tricks as easily, Miss Navigator," Robin said.
"Yeah, I know. Most of the pirates I stole from weren't any big names in the East Blue, so it was just taking candy from a baby," Nami explained.
"Nami-Swan is so smart and crafty!" Sanji swooned.
Buggy then prepared his special Buggy Ball to kill Luffy, instructing Nami to do it in a way to swear her loyalty to him. Nami hesitated, not expecting to have to get her own hands dirty. She tried to change the subject to something else, but Buggy wouldn't budge on his stance.
Nami couldn't believe she couldn't talk her way out of this.
"As much as I hated pirates, I wasn't ready to take a life," Nami sighed.
"Nobody blames you, Nami. Taking a life isn't something people can just do and it was never your goal in the first place. And we kicked Boogey's ass too, so it all worked out! Shishishi!" Luffy reassured her.
"You're right, Luffy. Thanks."
"Your hands are shaking," Luffy noticed. "That's what you get… for going against pirates unprepared."
"OI! Luffy, you can't just say that to Nami!" Sanji scolded his Captain.
"No, Sanji, he's right. As much of an idiot Buggy is, I was in no shape or form prepared to handle him. If it wasn't for Zoro and Luffy I could've ended up dead," Nami said.
"...Preparation? Is that all killing means to you? Is that what a pirate is prepared to do?" Nami asked.
"No. The preparation to risk your own life," Luffy declared.
"Every day we're risking our lives for our dreams. If you're not ready to do that then you're better off sitting your ass off at home," Zoro said.
One of the members of Buggy's crew lit the fuse, and Nami smacked him with her staff. Buggy asked Nami what she thought she was doing. Luffy asked if she was going to help him.
"Don't be ridiculous! Things were getting crazy! Besides, I don't wanna be a pirate, even if I'm just acting!" Nami yelled at him.
"But Nami, you are a pirate," Chopper reminded her.
"I'm a pirate now, Chopper. Back then I wasn't," She said.
"Pirates killed someone important to me. Don't compare me to…!"
"Arlong…" Nami shook her head so as to not think about that bastard. She knew that she'll end up seeing him again in this game, but at the moment she can enjoy every scene without him in it.
Buggy told them both to go die flashy, his crew rushing in to kill them both. Nami grabbed the fuse with her hand, burning them as the pirates got closer.
"Nami! Your hands!" Chopper yelled.
"They're healed now, Chopper. Don't panic so much," She reassured him.
"How many pirates does it take for just one girl?" Zoro asked as he suddenly appeared. He slashed at the pirates, taking them all down.
"Zoro!" Luffy cheered, happily.
"Well, it isn't Roronoa Zoro. Did you come to hunt me down?" Buggy asked.
"As if I'd waste my time on you. I came for that dumbass," Zoro pointed at Luffy.
"Shishishi! Thanks, Zoro!"
"No, not interested. I gave up bounty hunting," Zoro replied.
"Well, I care… If I kill you, I'll be famous. If you don't get serious, you could get hurt!" Buggy tried to attack Zoro, but ended up getting cut in half.
"AHHH! ZORO YOU KILLED HIM!" Chopper screamed.
"I DIDN'T JUST WATCH!"
The pirates were laughing at Zoro, because the swordsman had thought he killed Buggy. Suddenly, he was stabbed in the back by Buggy's severed hand.
"The Chop-Chop Fruit…that's the Devil Fruit I ate!"
"Letting your guard down like that, seems unlike you," Robin pointed out.
"Tch, I wasn't prepared for people to be fruit users. That's not an excuse, but it's the reason," Zoro explained.
"Zoro, run!" Luffy ordered.
"Got it!"
"Wait...What are you up to!?" Nami asked.
"Hey, light it," Zoro ordered Nami to light the cannon.
"Huh...!? O-Okay!"
Buggy realized what they were planning and panicked. "GET DOWN! GET DOWN!" The bomb went off, giving them the chance to escape.
"Finally! I get to actually cut some people up!" Zoro picked up the controller off his lap.
"Yosh! Time to kick Booger's ass!" Luffy yelled.
BRIEFING:
Victory Conditions: Defeat the Buggy Pirates!
Defeat Conditions: Luffy, Zoro, or Nami flee!
"As if any of us would run from Buggy of all people," Nami rolled her eyes.
"Try not to screw this up, Moss-Head," Sanji said.
"Sit there like the annoying child you are and watch me," Zoro belittled him.
"Why you…!"
LUFFY: "I got out of that cramped cage! Well, now what…"
PIRATES: "Hand over all your gold!"
VILLAGER: "S-Stop!"
NAMI: "Pirates really are the worst!"
LUFFY: "I'll take on all of Buggy's men!"
MISSION START!
Capture the enemy territory!
HINT: These are called Territory in each stage that are controlled by allies or enemies. Take your opponent's territory and make it allied territory to prevent enemy reinforcements and to help your allies.
"That's another element of strategy to consider while we're playing," Nami realized. There was a lot to this that they'd need to constantly pay attention to.
"OI! Zoro, take every territory that Boogey has!" Luffy ordered.
"Yosh!"
Zoro charged towards the enemy territory that was highlighted in front of him. The swordsman slashed through his enemies as if they were butter.
Lion Song!
Onigiri!
Tiger Hunt!
Zoro entered the territory and a red gauge bar appeared on the right side of the screen.
NAMI: "This is the enemy's territory. Defeat all enemies inside to control it!"
ZORO: "So, we just have to beat them all? Leave it to me.
Defeat all enemies within the territory!
"Did Nami just give us instructions?" Usopp asked.
"Yes, I did and if Zoro knows any better then he'll listen," Nami stared at Zoro.
"I was going to do what you said anyway, devil woman!"
Zoro attacked fiercely against his enemies, calling in Luffy for support attacks as the Kizuna gauge filled up.
Tiger Hunt!
Onigiri!
NAMI: "They're so strong! If I use them, I could take that map from Buggy!"
"Stealing was all that was on your mind, huh?" Usopp gave her a dry look.
"Is the liar really going to judge me?" Nami raised an eyebrow.
"OI! There's nothing wrong with lying!"
"You're a liar, Usopp!?" Chopper cried.
"Nope! Everything Captain Usopp says is completely factual!"
"Another lie…" Nami sweat dropped.
Lion Song!
Onigiri!
Dragon Twister!
36 Pound Phoenix!
Raven Hunt!
Zoro got the bar down to zero and a star appeared in its place.
NAMI: "Look! The territory leader is here! Finish him to gain control!"
"From what the instructions say not every territory will have a leader, but there is a chance that an enemy character can become the leader of a territory if they enter it," Robin explained.
"Well, we don't have to worry about that now. So, Zoro can just finish capturing this one," Usopp said.
"Heh, time to see what my special attack is!" Zoro pressed the circle button.
THREE THOUSAND WORLDS!
Zoro spun his blades in a circle and finished off the territory leader with the powerful slash of his swords.
TERRITORY CAPTURED!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
"COOL!" Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp shouted with stars in their eyes.
"When we capture an area, it'll turn blue to signify it's ours," Nami noticed.
"The bases will most likely operate the same, Nami-Swan," Sanji said. Just as he did Zoro defeated a base commander and turned it to their side.
"A little late, Shitty-Cook."
"SHUT UP!"
VILLAGER: "You saved us! …Oh? Are you hurt? Let me treat you.
ZORO: "Thanks, I should be able to move without a problem now."
Zoro captured the "Evacuation Shelter"!
"And it'll say that to let us know who captured the territory," Robin said.
A text box appeared above Zoro's head, and they entered a cutscene.
PIRATE THIEF:
"Yosh! It's decided! We're heading out for the Grand Line! So now we're gonna go steal that map back!" Luffy said. "Join my crew! I mean, you need the map, right? And the treasure."
"...I have no intention to become a pirate. How about we "join forces"? For the sake of our mutual goal?" Nami suggested.
"Alright. We going?" Zoro asked. Nami was shocked by his willingness to go and asked about his wound.
"Forget about it… What's more important is my name, which is currently in worse shape than I am," Zoro told her.
"Shishishi! Well then, let's go!" Luffy shouted.
"Your injuries are more important than that Zoro! You shouldn't be moving with that wound!" Chopper yelled at him.
"My pride was on the line! I refuse to let that clown bastard get away with that!" Zoro yelled back.
"Still…you can't be so reckless!" Chopper scolded him.
VILLAGER: "I'm begging you, could you please protect this village?"
LUFFY: "Sure. I just need to beat Buggy, right?"
NAMI: "He didn't say beat Buggy, he said defend the village! If we lost it, then we're done for!"
"When it comes to Luffy that's pretty much the same thing," Usopp sweat dropped.
Defeat Conditions have changed!
Ensure Evacuation Shelter isn't captured!
"What happens if it does get captured, Robin?" Chopper asked.
"Just as Miss Navigator had said, if any territories we are assigned to protect are taken by the enemy, then we lose," She explained.
"So, Zoro just has to protect it? But he can't just stand in front of it the entire time!" Usopp exclaimed.
"That's why Luffy and I are there as well. We'll all be spread out to protect the territory and if it's in danger then Zoro will just have to rush back to save it," Nami told him.
"Tch, so much shit at once," Zoro grumbled.
"Can't handle it?" Sanji grinned.
"You wish!"
Pirate Captain and company have opened the gates to advance!
HINT: Among the territories, there are places called Important Territories. If an Important Territory is taken by the enemy, it could be Game Over.
"And that confirms it," Robin said.
"OI! Protect it with your life, Zoro!" Luffy yelled.
Zoro attacked the oncoming Pirate commanders who were rushing towards the Evacuation Shelter.
Onigiri!
Leopard Spinning Shot!
BUGGY: "Those sneaky thieves have underestimated me! I'll give them a flashy thrashing!"
Buggy Pirates have begun the barrage!
Gain control of enemy territory and stop the barrage!
"The two territories are highlighted on the map, it would be imperative to choose one of them to capture first," Robin said.
"I'll just aim for the one that's closest," Zoro went in the direction of the territory that was south of the map.
Seeing the large crowd of enemies in front of him, Zoro activated his Kizuna Rush.
CAN YOU CALL ME A CREW MATE?
Onigiri!
Leopard Spinning Blade!
Tiger Hunt!
The Kizuna Rush ended before Zoro could activate the final attack.
"Why is it so short!?" He complained.
"Most likely, because you only have Luffy to do it with. Since I'm not officially a member just yet I can't be added into the Kizuna Rush," Nami assumed.
NAMI: "We should stop the cannons first. Take down the gun battery!"
"Ah, go upwards Zoro! Nami said to take care of the cannons!" Chopper yelled.
"...Fine!"
Zoro turned around to go to the other territory that had the cannons. However…
"HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GO IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!?" Nami roared at him.
"That map is too small! How am I supposed to see where I'm going!?" Zoro defended himself.
"THE AREAS ARE LITERALLY HIGHLIGHTED! EVEN LUFFY COULD FIGURE THAT OUT!"
"Stupid, Moss-Head," Sanji grumbled.
"Stupid, Zoro," The idiot trio copied.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM ANY OF YOU!" Zoro shouted at the peanut gallery.
Zoro eventually found his way to Northern territory that held the cannons. He built up his Kizuna Gauge much faster this time and activated it. He wasted no time in using the Rush attack this time.
"Three Sword…!
"Gum-Gum…!"
"CANNON 300 DESIRES!"
The attack was powerful enough to instantly capture the territory, blowing every single enemy away.
"That's different," Robin noticed.
"Something wrong, Robin-Chwan?" Sanji asked her.
"When Captain used the Kizuna Attack it was called 'Phoenix of Cannon', but with Mr. Swordsman it's called 'Cannon 300 desires'," She pointed out.
"So, it can be the exact same combination of characters, but depending on who uses it the attacks will be different?" Nami summarized.
"Exactly."
Zoro then rushed back down to the 2nd territory that needed to be captured and finished it up just as quickly with powerful attacks.
TREASURE EVENT!
HIGH LEVEL, LOW LEVEL"
"S-so strong…!" The pirate cried.
"My swords will be the best in the world! Allow me to show you just how different you guys are from me!" Zoro declared.
"D-Damn you…Why aren't you running away when faced with this many opponents!?"
"...Because I will not lose. Not even once," Zoro answered.
"I was proven wrong so fast…" Zoro remembered his confrontation with Mihawk and how easily he was bested. He carries with him the permanent scar across his torso of that fight every day. "One day…I'll surpass you!"
MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
TERRITORY CAPTURED!
Zoro captured "East Artillery Square"!
Another textbox appeared above Zoro's head, initiating another cutscene.
MYSTERIOUS GIRL:
"I've been looking for you, Luffy…It's been a while," Alivda walked forward.
"HEY, WAIT! That's the woman who was with Buggy!" Zoro remembered.
"AW! ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WOMAN HAS APPEARED!" Sanji's eyes changed into hearts.
"Wait, really? I don't remember her appearing when we fought Buggy," Nami said, confused.
"What was her name again…?" Luffy tilted his head in thought.
"We were told that some of these events were altered to fit the game. This must be the first of many that we'll come across," Robin said.
"You don't mean to tell me that you've forgotten what I look like, do you…?"
"Just who are you? One of Buggy's crew?" Luffy asked.
"I only joined up with him in order to find you. If you're going to be my man, you'd better not lose to him," She said.
"LUFFY YOU LUCKY BASTARD!" Sanji cried.
"What?" Luffy asked.
"Just ignore him, Luffy," Nami turned the boy's head back to the screen.
"Shut up! I don't even know who you are!"
"You don't remember me? Well, whatever …I'll make you remember!"
The scene ended and Alvida spawned at the bottom of the map as an enemy.
BUGGY: "Teach these thieves the terror in making enemies of pirates… ATTACK!"
Pirate Captain has appeared!
Pirate Captain and company have opened the gates to advance!
MISSION START!
Defeat Alvida and company!
Alvida has begun advancing towards Evacuation Shelter!
"OI, Moss-Head! You better not hit a woman!" Sanji roared.
"Sanji, he has to if we're going to win, and it's not like he's hurting the actual her. Remember?" Nami hopes to convince him.
"...Fine, Nami-Swan. But, I'll be looking away from the screen," Sanji said, reluctant.
HINT: During battle, one of your Crew may become a Hero. The Kizuna Gauge of a crew member who is a Hero fills up more easily.
By maxing out this crew member's Kizuna Level and filling their Kizuna Gauge, you can unleash their Hero Power.
"Hero?" Luffy made a disgruntled face at the fact that his hero power was activated.
"Why do you have a problem with that?" Nami asked, confused.
"Being a hero means sharing your meat with other people, so I don't want to be one," Luffy answered.
"That's so stupid…"
"I agree," Zoro said.
"At least Zoro has some common-"
"Being a hero means sharing your booze with other people, so I don't want to be one," Zoro had cut Nami off.
"YOU'RE BOTH IDIOTS!" She yelled.
Zoro attacked Alvida before she could reach the shelter. Since she's a boss character it was more difficult for him to bring her down. He activated his Kizuna once more to give him a better edge against her. As he was bringing her health down, Nami began to make her move.
NAMI: "The defenses on Buggy's pirate ship look weak. Now's our chance…"
Nami has begun advancing to Big Top!
NAMI: "I'll go and get that map! You two distract the enemies!"
LUFFY: "Okay, leave it to us!"
"You just love using us, huh?" Zoro looked at the Navigator.
"What can I say? You two have your usefulness once and a while," She grinned.
MISSION START!
Help Nami advance and take Buggy's treasure!
Seeing that he still needed to take down two other Pirate Commanders and help Nami, Zoro decided to finish Alvida off quickly. He activated his Kizuna Attack!
"THREE SWORDS…!"
"GUM-GUM…!"
"CANNON 300 DESIRES!"
The slippery woman was defeated by the powerful strike from the Captain and his First-Mate.
Zoro defeated Alvida!
ALVIDA: "I'm impressed… I'll spare you this time."
Alvida withdraws temporarily!
"Ugh…does that mean we'll have to deal with her again?" Usopp asked, worried.
"Most likely, since it said temporarily," Robin answered.
"Great…as if Buggy wasn't enough," Nami sighed.
Zoro hurried back towards the North of the stage to finish off the Pirate Captains that were working with Alvida. Zoro made quick work of the enemies around him.
Tiger Hunt!
Onigiri!
Three Thousand Worlds!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
"Heh, easy!" Zoro smirked.
Pirate Captain is advancing towards Nami!
NAMI: "They found me! Hey, you guys, help me!"
Nami's path to Buggy's ship was being blocked by two Pirate Captains.
"OI! Go save Nami-Swan, you stupid Moss-Head!"
"I'm going there, dumbass! Quit back seating!" Zoro barked back.
"Oi, Zoro, you're going the wrong way again…" Usopp sweat dropped.
"What!? Dammit!"
Zoro managed to find his way over to Nami and attacked the Pirate Commanders blocking her path.
Onigiri!
36 Pound Phoenix!
Raven Hunt!
With both commanders now defeated, Nami was able to continue on her way towards the ship unhindered.
"Make sure to capture some bases, Mr. Swordsman," Robin reminded him.
"Yeah yeah, I got it," He huffed.
"And open some chests! I saw you running past some!" Nami reminded him.
"Okay okay!" He rolled his eyes.
"And don't run away if it gets too tough, Zoro!" Usopp added.
"I'm not you, dumbass!" He glared at the sharpshooter.
NAMI: "I gotta find that map soon."
Nami has retreated temporarily to look for the sea chart!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
Pirate Captain has appeared!
PIRATE CAPTAIN: "Don't underestimate Buggy's crew! Everyone cowers before us!"
MISSION START!
Defeat the enemy reinforcements!
"News flash, we're not like everyone," Zoro said as he sped over to the enemy reinforcements.
Three Thousand Worlds!
Onigiri!
36 Pound Phoenix!
Leopard Spinning Shot!
MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
Nami has reappeared!
NAMI: "The map wasn't on the ship… That means Buggy probably has it."
A text box appeared above Zoro's head once more
MY TREASURE:
"Instead of the map, I got a bunch of treasure. I guess everything turned out alright in the end!" Nami's eyes turned into Beli signs.
"Greedy ass witch…" Zoro grumbled.
"NAMI-SWAN! YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU'RE GREEDY!"
"Greedy Nami!" The idiot trio repeated, happily.
"OI, WHY ARE YOU ALL CALLING ME GREEDY!?" She bashed each one of them on the head.
Robin chuckled into her hand. "Greedy describes you pretty well, Miss Navigator."
"Not you too, Robin…" Nami mumbled.
BUGGY: "Fire! Give them a Buggy Ball!"
Buggy Pirates have begun the barrage!
Pirate Captain has opened the gates in order to advance!
NAMI: "Gaaah! Stop the cannon!"
LUFFY: "The gun battery is over there, right!? I'll take it down!"
MISSION START!
Gain control of Central Artillery Square and stop the barrage!
ZORO: "Geez, she really is troublesome."
"Don't talk about Nami-Swan that way, Crappy Swordsman!" Sanji yelled.
"I'll talk about her anyway I want, Shitty Cook!" Zoro yelled back.
"How about you pay attention to the mission, so we don't lose!" Nami forced Zoro's head back to face the screen.
"GAH! DAMMIT WOMAN!"
Zoro has defeated 1500 people!
Zoro made it over to the square and activated his Kizuna Rush to capture the territory quickly.
Leopard Spinning Shot!
36 Pound Phoenix!
Onigiri!
Zoro's attack was stopped when the cannons started interrupting his combos.
"Goddamn annoying bastards!" He growled.
"THREE SWORDS…!"
"GUM-GUM…!"
"CANNON 300 DESIRES!"
The Kizuna Attack lowered the bar enough for the territory leader to spawn in.
Onigiri!
Three Thousand Worlds!
TERRITORY CAPTURED!
The Buggy Balls have stopped!
NAMI: "Do it now!"
Nami has begun advancing towards the Evacuation Shelter!
Zoro captured "Central Artillery Square"!
BUGGY: "Like I'd let you get away! Don't think you can outsmart me!"
Pirate Captain has opened the gates in order to advance!
Alvida has reappeared!
"Oh no! She's back!" Chopper exclaimed.
"The beautiful woman has returned!" Sanji swooned.
ALVIDA: "Alright then, I'll head that way."
Alvida has begun advancing towards Evacuation Shelter!
LUFFY: "Buggy! I'm gonna beat you down, just like I promised!"
Zoro hurried to where Alvida was, taking down Pirate Commanders as he went to lower his chances of losing any allies.
MISSION START!
Defeat Buggy and Company!
"Yosh! Time to kick Boogey's ass!" Luffy cracked his knuckles.
"Defeat the rest of our opponents first, Mr. Swordsman," Robin said.
"Tch, I was gonna do that anyway," Zoro responded.
Enemies charmed by Alvida have grown stronger!
ALVIDA: "I'll show you that I don't run my ship with my looks alone."
NAMI: "Watch out! Something is different about her!"
Defeat Alvida and remove the enemy's enhancement!
"Oh, Alvida! You've charmed me in more ways than one!" Sanji spun in a circle.
More Pirate Commanders were in Zoro's way, he continued to slice each and every one of them down as he got closer to Alvida.
HINT: When enemies are unleashing their Hero Power or powering themselves up, a Stunned Gauge will appear over their heads.
When an attack lands, the Stunned Gauge may be reduced. When the Stunned Gauge reaches 0, the enemy will be stunned, and their Hero Power or powered-up state will be over.
"Should it really be called 'Hero Power' if it's the bag guys using it?" Usopp asked.
"We're pirates and it's called 'Hero Power', so I don't really think it matters," Nami answered.
Zoro has defeated 2000 people!
Zoro finally made it to Alvida and clashed with her.
Dragon Twister!
Raven Hunt!
Tiger Hunt!
Leopard Spinning Shot!
Onigiri!
Three Thousand Worlds!
Fighting her was difficult, since her Hero Power reduces the amount of damage that she takes, however that didn't deter Zoro in the slightest. The swordsman pushed her enough to finally break through it! And finished her off with a support attack from Luffy!
Zoro has defeated Alvida!
"Good job, Zoro!" Chopper and Usopp cheered.
"One down and all that's left is Buggy!" Nami exclaimed.
Luffy's attention was less focused on Zoro's victory and more so on what had appeared after Alivda was defeated. "MEAT! THERE'S MEAT RIGHT THERE!"
Robin giggled at Luffy's shout. "Yes, I forgot to mention that it said that powerful enemies have the chance of dropping items that will benefit us. That large piece of meat there will refill health and max out the Kizuna Gauge."
"SANJI! MEAT!" Luffy demanded.
"After Moss-Head finishes this up, I'll get to work on Lunch," Sanji said.
BUGGY: "Stop showing off, you snarky thieves!"
Pirate Captain has opened the gates in order to advance!
ZORO: "We're not thieves, we're pirates."
"Technically I was just a thief," Nami corrected.
"Who cares?" Zoro asked, confused.
"I DO, JACKASS!"
Defeat Buggy!
"YOSH! Kick his ass, Zoro!" Luffy ordered.
"With pleasure!" The swordsman grinned, sadistically.
In order to get to Buggy, Zoro had to run through another enemy territory that he wasted no time in capturing with a Kizuna Rush.
The other territory that Buggy had was captured by Luffy.
With that taken care of, Zoro hurried into the last territory and proceeded to face off against Buggy the Clown!
"Time to finish this!" Zoro exclaimed.
Buggy spawned into the area, taunting Zoro as he did.
HINT: During battle, if an enemy performs a Counterattack, they can start charging up power. In this case, if you press 'X' quickly while attacking, you can hammer the enemy with a chain attack, and break the enemy's stance. Also, if the enemy is already powered up, this can knock down their Stunned Gauge by a considerate amount.
"Enough with the tutorials! Let me kick his ass already!" Zoro yelled.
LUFFY: "Hand over the map to the Grand Line!"
BUGGY: "So you're after that… What're gonna do once you enter the Grand Line!?"
LUFFY: "I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!"
Zoro attacked Buggy, stopping Buggy's counter with a chain attack. The clown was stunned, allowing him to empty his first bar of health.
BUGGY: "Get real, you stupid fool! If you're the Pirate King, does that make me God!?"
"Luffy's beaten God, so even if you were you'd still be pretty weak," Sanji said.
"And a Pirate King is stronger than any God out there!" Luffy declared.
Onigiri!
Tiger Hunt!
36 Pound Phoenix!
Dragon Twister
Zoro took down Buggy's 2nd bar of health, now entering the final stage of the fight. Buggy sparked as if he was entering his own Kizuna Mode and jumped into the center of the area.
HINT: During battle, tough enemies may unleash a Unique Attack. If they start preparing to attack, move out of the attack range.
BUGGY: "Behold the true power of the great pirate Captain Buggy!"
His range of attack was highlighted by a small red circle. Zoro moved out of the circle and avoided Buggy's spinning limbs and blades.
All of the Strawhats were unimpressed by Buggy's 'true power'.
"Yeah, that's some great power all right," Nami rolled her eyes. She saw two chests in the area and shook Zoro. "OI, Zoro! Get those chests!" She ordered.
"Fine!" He opened them both. The gold and red chest held some Beli, while the brown one had a large piece of meat in it. Zoro smirked and knew exactly how to finish Buggy off.
He activated his Kizuna Rush and whittled down Buggy's health enough to finish the fight with the final strike.
"THREE SWORDS…!"
"GUM-GUM…!"
"CANNON 300 DESIRES!"
Buggy's health was no more, and they entered the final cutscene.
"YOSH!" The Strawhats cheered for the cool finish.
Luffy charged at Buggy and pulled back his leg, he kicked Buggy in his stomach, knocking away all of Buggy's limbs.
"AH!" The clown screamed when he saw Nami tying his limbs together.
"Is this what you're looking for?" She grinned.
"GAH! MY BODY!" Buggy was now just a head with two hands and feet.
The Strawhats all laughed at the pathetic sight of Buggy the Clown as the arrogant clown was about to get his dues.
"SHISHISHI! The perfect Thief!" Luffy laughed, he pulled his arms back far.
"Thanks, Luffy! Nami winked.
"Shishishi, no problem!" He smiled.
"Time to disappear, Buggy! Gum-Gum…"
"STOOOP!"
"BAZOOKA!"
Buggy was sent flying far off into the distance, away from the island.
TO BE CONTINUED!
"THAT WAS SO COOL, LUFFY!" Chopper latched onto his Captain's face.
"I know right! Boogey didn't stand a chance!" Luffy pulled Chopper off.
"Time to see my results," Zoro said.
RESULTS:
KILLS: 2392 - S
OBTAINED "!": 1413 - S
CLEAR TIME: 17' 00" 19 - S
TOTAL EVALUATION - S
"Tch! Just a bit below Luffy when it came to the kills and I also took longer," Zoro grumbled.
"HA! Suck it, Moss-Head!" Sanji laughed.
"It's understandable that this would take longer, and I'd assume it'll be the same the further we go. Luffy played the tutorial, so it would be a lot shorter with less objectives," Robin explained.
"Hn," Zoro acknowledged.
"The kills however are your own fault," She smiled.
"Tch!" He turned away from her.
"Oh, Robin-Chwan! You're so beautiful when calling out that meathead!" Sanji swirled. He was smacked in the head by the hilt of Zoro's sword.
"I'm getting really tired of your mouth, Ero-Cook!"
"Say that again, you Mossy-Swordsman!"
Zoro discarded the controller and the two broke into a brawl. Usopp scuffled past them and took the controller into his hands and pressed 'X'.
LEGEND DIARY: 55%
"We're probably going to have to redo all of these," Nami grumbled at the thought.
"That just makes it more fun, Nami!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah, I'll wait till my turn arrives," Nami waved him off.
CREW LEVEL GROWTH:
LUFFY: LV.1 → LV.2
ZORO: LV.1 → LV.2
NAMI: LV.1 → LV.2
They all noticed that they had acquired Buggy's and Alvida's skill posters, but they didn't care about that at all.
After Nami had broken up the fight between Zoro and Sanji, the cook went to get started on dinner.
Usopp saw on the episode select screen that he was up next and who would be the main opposition in this part. "Kuro…"
Chapter End
NOTE: The hardest part for this story was trying to figure out how I'd do Sabaody, Impel Down, and Marineford. But I think I've figured it out.
Luffy and Hancock will play through Sabaody. So, that means that the game will find its way to Amazon Lily and that will be explained when we get there.
The Strawhats(Not Luffy) will play through Impel Down and Marineford when the crew is on their way to Fishman Island. Luffy will be preoccupied (Sleeping from eating too much), because he doesn't need to watch Ace die twice.
The reunion on Sabaody and Fishman Island will be played when the Strawhats are on their way to Punk Hazard.
Now that I've explained those, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
Have a great day!
