Buggy began to remember his days at sea about 30 or 25 years ago, back then he was arguing with another member of the crew more precisely the helmsman. He was bigger and had far more muscles and he had a thick ragged dark brown beard.

"The North Pole!" Buggy yelled.

"South Pole!" the helmsman yelled back.

"That would you say!"

"Right, and I'm going to keep on saying it because I'm right clown!"

"You've got guts, but I'm going to settle this once and for all!"

"Go ahead and try!"

The two of them immediately began to wrestle with one another and they had gathered quite an audience, though neither them were paying attention.

The ship's cook then appeared and slammed their heads with a saucepan. "Knock it off! No one amongst you cares which one is colder the North or the South Pole! If you want to know so badly then why don't you go to both and find out?"

Everyone the crew immediately laughed.

"As ship!" said the man in the crow's nest. "Enemy ship to the north north-east!"

The Cook immediately looked at the crew. "Get ready, it's time to fight!"

"Yes, sir!"

Buggy smiled. "Yes, I can't wait to plunder."

"You certainly seem happy, Buggy," the helmsman noted.

"Obviously Alvin," he said. "Enemy ships are just like big flowing treasure chests, it's only natural for pirates to raid them. Am I wrong?"

"Well, there is some truth to that," Alvin admitted.

Buggy got to his feet and immediately drew a pair of daggers. "You're too weak, you and everyone else here just don't have the pirates natural hunger and desire to plunder treasure. You don't know what it means to be a pirate."

"I'd be careful to say that around the captain, you know how unpredictable he is," Alvin advised.

Soon they began to engage of the enemy pirate ship and they clearly had the advantage. In the midst of this fight Buggy killed a man and saw that he was holding a map.

"What's this?" he said as he began to examine it and he quickly realised it was a treasure map. "It's a treasure map. I've never seen one before, it's incredible." He then noticed where the X was drawn on. "Is the treasure at the bottom of the ocean?"

A crude smiled and appeared on his face. 'Yes, now my path is finally decided.'


Later that night everyone was eating, but Buggy was far more exciting with a map in his hands.

"Hey, Buggy!" Alvin yelled and he quickly hit the map. "Aren't you going to celebrate with us? We found a lot of neat stuff."

Buggy quickly stashed the map in his shirt. "It's no map, I don't have anything hidden! Go away!"

Alvin blinked at him in confusion. "What are you talking about, Buggy?"

Buggy quickly realised his mistake. "Oh, it's nothing."

Alvin then sat next to him and looked at the starry sky.

Buggy looked at him curiously. "You said that you were going to leave this ship sometime, right? So what do you plan to do?"

Alvin shrugged. "I'm going to get my ownership and then gather a reliable crew and see the world. I'm going to take my time as a pirate of course."

Buggy laughed. "What a bunch of sentimental nonsense."

Alvin stared at him. "Say what?"

"I do admire your fighting skills and your way to steer the ship, but if you weren't such a softy I would make you one of my henchmen."

Alvin raise an eyebrow. "Your henchmen? I don't think so."

Buggy looked at him confused.

Alvin immediately took the drink of rum. "We have completely different looks on life so I think we should just follow our own powers. Isn't that what pirates do?"

"You seem to think that your expert on pirates," said Buggy. "But if we ever meet on the ocean then we would have a fight to the death."

"Yeah, pirates do do that too," Alvin admitted.

Buggy shook his head. "You never make any sense." He then looked at him curiously. "Anyway you said that you found some interesting loot right?"

"Huh, oh yes," Alvin nodded. "We found a Devil Fruit."

"A Devil Fruit?" Buggy blinked.

"I heard the Devil Fruits of the reincarnation of the Sea Devil. Supposedly if you eat one you gain Devil powers, but the sea will hate you and take your ability to swim."

Buggy shook his head. "You would have to be stupid to eat that thing." Buggy's thoughts immediately turned to the treasure map he found. 'I would never get that treasure from the ocean floor if I couldn't swim.'

"But I heard rumours that people would pay the nose for Devil Fruit, even as much as 100 million Gill," said Alvin.

Buggy steadies him openmouthed. "What?"

"Some of the big names do actually have Devil Fruit powers including several Marine captains not to mention the higher-ups," Alvin explained. "And that's not to mention some of our biggest rivals like Stoick the Vast."


The next morning, Buggy immediately snagged the Devil Fruit and stood in front of the crew holding it high in the air.

"I hereby say that I Buggy will devour this Devil Fruit!" Buggy announced the crew.

Some of the crew laughed.

"You gonna love this guy, he never thinks of consequences."

Buggy then immediately scarfed the Devil Fruit down his mouth and everyone waited patiently to see what would happen.

"Well, Buggy, you feel any differently yet?"

Buggy shook his head. "No. Not really."

The crew looked disappointed.

"Is it a fake?"

"I'm not surprised, I have never seen a real Devil Fruit before."

Buggy smiled, because in fact he hadn't eaten the Devil Fruit only a replica he made with food from the kitchen.


Later that night he was in a lifeboat, with both his treasure map in hand and the Devil Fruit in the other.

"Yes, that worked extremely well," Buggy smirked. "These guys are so gullible, I can't believe I was able to trick them so easily. Now to jump ship before they find out the truth, with the money I get for selling this Devil Fruit and retrieving the sunken treasure I'll easily be able to form my own crew."

"Hey, there Buggy," said Alvin making him jump. Buggy going quickly stuffed the map in his shirt and placed the fruit in his mouth. "Were you just saying something?

"Oh, it's you," said Buggy in a muffled voice. "Don't scare me like that."

"Then don't be so jumpy," Alvin advised. He then walked off. "And don't steal too much food from the kitchen, you don't want to make the cook mad."

Buggy sighed with relief. "That was close."

"Oh, yeah," said Alvin making him jump again. "The Captain told me to tell you—"

Buggy jumps so much that he actually swallowed the Devil Fruit, much to his horror. He just sat there completely stunned and turned on Alvin in rage.

"How dare go! You bastard!" Buggy yelled grabbing the helm of his shirt.

Alvin was completely confused. "What's your problem?"

"Why? Why? Why" Buggy cried.

Alvin had absolutely no idea what he was talking and then he saw something floating off the ship.

"What's that piece of paper?" he asked.

Buggy turned in his eyes widened in horror, because that these are paper was his treasure map. "Not my map!"

Then without thinking he immediately jumped after it, forgetting that he was no longer able to swim.

"Hey, Buggy!" Alvin yelled as he hit the water.

The moment Buggy touched the seawater, he found himself unable to move and was just thinking. 'What the… What's going on? I can't move, is it true that you lose your ability to swim? Damn it.'

Alvin was still on the ship and noticed that Buggy hadn't come up the air. "Hey, what's going on? Why aren't you swimming?" Then quickly dawned on him that he can't swim. "Buggy!"

Buggy was starting to get a little lightheaded. 'Help me.'

Alvin then immediately jumped into the sea. "I'll save you, Buggy!"


Back in the present, Buggy had just finished his story and it clearly had enraged him.

"That's the reason you resent him, he save your life," Hiccup pointed out.

"That despise the point, because what he did to me I was unable to swim and therefore unable to obtain my sunken treasure!" Buggy yelled. "Then I had a revelation, if I can go underwater then I'll just obtain all the treasure on dry land using my brand-new Chop Chop powers."

He then immediately separated his upper torso and began to float in midair. "And now I won't let anyone so much as touch is my treasure. Death to those who pilfer my hard earned treasure!"

He then immediately propelled himself forwards and headed straight towards Fishlegs, clearly he realised that he had managed to snag his treasure.

"Come back here you thief!" Buggy yelled.

Fishlegs panicked and grabbed the treasure and made a run for it. "These noticed!"

"I'll protect you," said Astrid as she immediately drew her axe.

Hiccup then noticed that Buggy left his lower torso in the street.

"You don't stand a chance of stopping me!" Buggy yelled as he drew his dagger is. "Now I'm going to chop you up into little pieces!"

He then immediately stopped inches before he reached Astrid or Fishlegs, the two of them looked at him in confusion. Judging from the look on his face he was experiencing great pain and was cringing.

Hiccup smiled. "You may be able to chop your body into pieces, but you can still feel pain from physical attacks."

Hiccup had kicked him right in between the legs and Buggy's chest fell to the ground reeling in agony.

"Ow! My balls! My balls!" he winced. "That was a cheap shot!"

Hiccup turned to face him. "You're the one who stabbed Toothless in the back, you're hardly want to talk."


In the outskirts of the town with the rest of the towns folk, who had it in the forest, but they noticed something unusual about today.

"What's wrong? The mayor has never gone for this long before," said one of the townsfolk as he looked at his stopwatch. "I hope he's all right."

"It sounded as if a battle was going on in town," said a woman. "There has been a lot more cannon fire then usual today."

"I'm going to town to check it out, you all just stay here."

"I'm going with you."

"No way, there are still pirates in town. It's too dangerous of a situation."

"Exactly, that's why you'll need our help."

"What kind of citizens are we if we don't help? We've gotta find out what's happening."

"You can't stop us from going, we want to do all we can to help out."

The man just stood there for a few seconds. "Then it settled."

"We all go together."

Everyone then immediately cheered and started grabbing anything they could use as a weapon, pitchforks, broom handles.


Astrid and Fishlegs were still a bit stunned about what had happened.

Hiccup looked at the two of them. "Is not gonna sit down for long, you two better move it."

Astrid sighed. "We appreciate the help, but we're not abandoning our treasure, not now."

Buggy regained his composure and glared at the two of them. "Did you just call it your treasure?"

Astrid nodded. "That's right you heard correctly! We're thieves that steel from pirates and we just told treasure from a real annoying one. So this makes it our treasure now understand."

Fishlegs sighed. "And this is the part where we nearly get killed."

"That's pure nonsense!" Buggy roared. "That's my treasure and just because the two of you stole it from me doesn't make it yours you dirty sneaky thieves! Honestly what did your parents teach you?"

Astrid looked at him furiously. "A criminal trying to lecture another criminal, now that's ridiculous."

"What's that?" Buggy growled.

"She does have a point," Hiccup admitted.

The mayor nodded. "He's hardly an upstanding citizen."

"The day we take a morality lesson from you is the day we stop being thieves," said Astrid plainly.

Buggy was absolutely furious. "I hope you're ready for the consequences. Now here comes… Chop-Chop Festival!"

Suddenly the entire body began to separate into dozens of pieces and then immediately began to hover around Buggy.

Buggy smirked at Hiccup. "I would like to see you try and save your friends from me now!"

"Your fight is with me?" Hiccup yelled. Hiccup then noticed that Buggy's feet were actually walking across the pavement. "What the?"

Buggy immediately turned towards Astrid and Fishlegs. "I'm going to enjoy this."

Astrid immediately raised her axe and Buggy began swinging his daggers and she quickly blocks them. Soon the two of them were beginning to clash, but Buggy's other body parts were heading straight towards Fishlegs and there was nothing she could do to protect him.

"Give me back my treasure!" Buggy roared.

Hiccup had grabbed one of Buggy's feet and removed the shoe and stock, he then began to tickle Buggy's sole. Buggy then immediately laughed indicating that he was quite ticklish. Hiccup then pinch the skin on the foot causing Buggy to cringe.

"Now let's see how you like this," Hiccup smiled and slammed the first right into the ground.

Buggy immediately screamed in pain and stopped his attack then turned on Hiccup. "Will you stop that? Knock it off!"

"No, you knock it off!" Fishlegs yelled as he immediately swung the bag of treasure directly at him.

However, that move proved to be a mistake, because Buggy caught the treasure with his hands.

"Thanks for giving me my treasure back, Fishlegs," Buggy smiled.

Astrid immediately stopped what she was doing and helped Fishlegs with pulling the bag of treasure.

"Let go," said Astrid as they attempted to wave his hands away from it.

"No, you let go!" Buggy yelled. "This is my treasure so get your grubby little hands off it! Just give me back my treasure!"

Buggy then immediately released the treasure, but he quickly to daggers directly at the two of them. However, Hiccup quickly took off and immediately flew straight towards him as quickly as he could.

"I told you that your fight was with me!" Hiccup yelled and then dealt a powerful kick in the face.

Buggy's head slammed right into the back of treasure which was quite painful. As a result they bag split and all the treasure inside fell to the ground and Buggy's head skidded into the ground itself creating a small crevice in the ground.

Immediately all of Buggy's body parts fell to the ground indicating that he was unconscious.

Hiccup looked at Buggy. "Next time you should finish the fight you started."

Fishlegs sighed with relief. "Thanks a lot, we owe you one."

Hiccup shrugged. "Who's counting?"

"We should get our hands on the treasure," said Astrid as she picked herself up.

"And I need to get the chart," Hiccup added.

However, when they turn they found that Buggy had regained consciousness and his head was floating in the air once again.

"This isn't over yet, runt," Buggy growled.

"This guy just doesn't know when to stay down," said Hiccup.

"How dare you do this to me? You will pay for this!" Buggy roared. "Assemble Chop-Chop parts!"

Buggy then began to cut himself together, but something went terribly wrong. Only his hands and feet assembled and when he put himself together he was no higher than Hiccup's knee. Buggy immediately turned and found that Astrid had tied up his arms, legs and chest in a rope.

"Looking for these Buggy?" Astrid smiled.

"My parts!" Buggy cried.

"Now let's finish this," said Hiccup as he opened his mouth and a purple light began to form inside it.

"Stop it now!" Buggy roared.

"Have a nice flight," said Hiccup. "Plasma Blast!"

He then immediately fired a plasma blast and it struck Buggy causing a massive explosion. They then watched as Buggy was sent flying through the air and disappeared into the distance.

Buggy's highways just stared openmouthed.

"Whoa, that kid just sent Captain Buggy flying."

"So what do we do without the captain, huh?"

"Keep acting unconscious."

"Good idea."

Both Astrid and Fishlegs had gathered up the treasure and placed them into separate bags. The mayor then approached them with Toothless around his shoulder.

"I can't believe that you manage to defeat Buggy," said the mayor stunned.

Hiccup smiled. "Looks like no one is going to be stealing your treasure again."

"Has mayor I cannot thank any of you are not," he said gratefully, but then he turned to the destroyed buildings. "But those pirates already did a considerable amount of damage to our treasure."

Astrid looked at the town and then at the treasure she was holding and sighed. "Here you go," she said handing the treasure to the mayor.

Hiccup looked stunned. "I thought you needed that treasure to form 1 million Gil?"

Astrid sighed. "That I do, but I think that this town needs more than we do."

Fishlegs nodded and handed the treasure to the mayor. "Here you go."

The mayor looked astonished. "You're just giving me the treasure?"

Astrid nodded. "Our town was attacked by pirates once, so we know how you feel." She then looked at Hiccup. "Though I do find it ironic that it took a pirate to beat a pirate."

Hiccup shrugged. "We all have different shapes and sizes and personalities."

Fishlegs then gave Hiccup the chart. "And you should deserve this, for saving our lives."

Hiccup looked at the chart and he looked at the two of them. "I don't suppose you could consider coming with my crew?"

Astrid scolded him. "We told you that we would never join a pirate crew." She then smiled at him. "But you're not exactly an average pirate and since you have a tendency of fighting other pirates it would be more profitable joining up with you guys. Just remember were only joining you because it's in our interest."

"Good enough for me," said Hiccup. Hiccup then grabbed Toothless' arm and removed him from the mayor. "I'll take it from here. I think it's time we left this town."

Toothless regained consciousness. "Did we take care of everything?"

Hiccup nodded. "We took down Buggy and Astrid and Fishlegs have decided to join us, plus we got a chart of the Grand Line."

Toothless smiled. "Looks like I missed a lot."

"What's going on here?" said a new voice. The immediately turned and saw the townsfolk had wandered into the street. "You're not residents of this village."

"We just sailed here this morning," Hiccup explained.

"And what was all that commotion, we heard a lot of cannon fire? It's sounded like there may have been a battle here earlier."

"I think I can explain," said the mayor as he approached the citizens.

"Mr Mayor, you all right," said one of the townsfolk looking relieved. "What happened here?"

"These young folk have just taken down Captain Buggy," the mayor explained.

Immediately the townsfolk looked at one another in shock.

"Buggy is gone?"

"Explained all the cannon fire."

"But who are they?"

"We're pirates," Hiccup explained and he immediately looked at Astrid and Fishlegs. "Well, some of us are, but we have no intention of looting and pillaging this town. We're also leaving you Buggy's treasure to rebuild your town and will be leaving very soon."

Townsfolk looked at one another and began talking amongst themselves.

"They're pirates?"

"They sure don't like them."

"Should we hand them over to the Marines?"

"But they just freed our town."

The mayor approached them. "How explain everything in detail, but first we need around double the remaining pirates and start rebuilding our town."

The townsfolk immediately nodded in agreement.

Hiccup looked at Astrid and Fishlegs. "We better get down to the docks."


Eventually they made their way to the docks and found their ships, apparently the two of them had docked next to one another.

"What do you know, we docked next to each other," said Hiccup shaking his head.

Astrid shrugged. "Must be fate and boy does it have a sense of humour."

"How did you come across that boat?" Hiccup asked curiously.

"We managed to snatch it from a few dumb pirates a few days back," Fishlegs explained.

"That's a big mouth you've got," said a voice.

Then suddenly emerging from out of Astrid and Fishlegs' boat were the three pirates Toothless had rescued. All three of them looked at Astrid and Fishlegs viciously with their swords drawn.

"We've been waiting for you thieves."

"Never thought that you would run into us here, did you?"

"Friends of yours?" Hiccup asked noting that both Astrid and Fishlegs were looking quite nervous.

"You could say that," said Astrid rubbing the back of the head.

"So these are your friends," said a pirate looking at both Hiccup and Toothless. "I guess will have to punish the two of them as well. It's time you learned what happens when you steal other people's stuff."

He then immediately looked at Toothless, not recognising him. "Hey, you. Time for your medicine."

Toothless then raised his head and looked at the three of them. "Funny meeting the three of you here."

The pirate immediately cringed with fear and ran off screaming.

Hiccup looked at Toothless. "I take it that you ran into them earlier?"

"When I came sailing after you," said Toothless.


Soon the four them got into their boats and ties them together so they will be separated and soon they began to set sail.

"It's time to get going," said Hiccup.

Toothless then noticed the skull and cross bone on Astrid and Fishlegs' sail. "Hey, isn't that Buggy's mark on your sail?"

"This did belong to Buggy's boat, you think we should change it?" Astrid asked.

Hiccup shook his head. "We don't have a spare sail and are shipped can hardly carry yours along the way. We just have to hope that we don't run into any Navy ships."

Fishlegs turned and saw the mayor standing on the pier. "Hey, it's the mayor."

The immediately all turned and saw the mayor waving at them as they sailed away. "Save travel young ones and may you someday find your treasure!"

Immediately they all waved him goodbye.

"Goodbye!" Hiccup waved.

Astrid smiled and then looked at Toothless. "Why do I get the feeling that this is only the start of a great adventure?"

Toothless looked at her. "Because it is, I have a feeling that things won't be boring especially with Hiccup as our captain."

They then carried on sailing and soon the island disappeared from view.
