Chapter 2: Orange Town
Lucan went face first into the ground. Instead of a thump, a splash was heard.
Lucan opened his eyes to see that he was underwater.
He submerged and gasped for air. "Where the heck am I? How did I end up in the ocean?" He said.
A brief light appeared underwater. It went out.
"Huh," Lucan thought. "What's that?" He swam underwater looking for the glistening object. He saw it flash again, and swam deeper trying to reach it.
After awhile of swimming he finally reached it. It was a katana, in the hands of a skeleton. Lucan flinched, accidentally letting out some air, but quickly closing his mouth. He grabbed the katana and looked for the scabbard.
He finally found it but it was a far off distance from where he was.
He swam as fast as he could to the scabbard. Lucan grabbed it, sheathed the katana, and realised he couldn't hold his breath any longer. Lucan thrashed, as he tried to make his way to the surface. But Lucan ran out of breath and let the currents of the sea take him.
Lucan opened his eyes and coughed out some water, he breathed heavily.
"Huh? Oh, you're awake!" A man's voice said.
Lucan looked at the man, and then around him. He was in a round hut, the walls were made of bamboo and the roof was made of long strings of grass. Lucan was lying on a straw bed. The katana he found was leaning on the wall.
"Where am I?" He asked
"Oh, we're in the outskirts of Orange Town, we found you washed up on the beach with that sword in your hand. Oh, here's a belt for it." The man said, as he handed Lucan a belt.
"Thanks," Lucan said, as he took the belt "But why the outskirts of town, why not in it?"
"Because the town's being terrorized by Buggy the Clown." The man replied.
"Wait, Buggy the Clown?" Lucan asked.
"Yes." The man said.
Lucan quickly got up, tied the belt round his waist, buckled it, grabbed his katana, slipped on the belt, and bolted out the door.
"Thanks!" He shouted to the man as he ran away.
Lucan kept running till he reached a cliff. "Wahoo!" He thought. "I'm in One Piece, who cares how it happened; I even managed to get a sword."
Lucan glanced at his katana; the hilt was dark blue and had a gold ring in the middle. He unsheathed the sword. The blade looked a little normal, though it was dirty. "Looks like I gotta get this cleaned, I've got tons of time since Buggy's still here, there's no commotion and the mayor's not going to town yet." He thought to himself.
Lucan got up and ran back to the hut where the man was, and asked him where he could clean his sword. The man sent Lucan to a shop where he could get a polishing stone. He also lent him 10'000 beri and told him to keep the change. The polishing stone only cost a hundred beri, so Lucan had enough money to buy food.
The polishing stone came with a free bandanna, for some reason; luckily it was a dark turquoise, so it went with Lucan's midnight blue hoody and black trousers. Along with his black steel toed boots.
Lucan decided to look One Piece like, so he pulled up his sleeves, tied his bandanna and tucked his trousers into his boots.
Lucan then walked towards Orange Town, ready to encounter a certain straw hat wearing boy. As if on cue, Luffy was heard screaming. Lucan ran to the cliff he was on a while ago and saw Luffy being dropped by the huge bird.
"Looks like I'm gonna have a party." He said, he jumped off the cliff and slid down the hill. Heading towards the bar the Buggy was on.
Lucan finally got there and saw that Luffy was there already, tied up with Nami holding the end of the rope.
"I appreciate you doing this, but why the sudden change of heart?" voice belonging to Buggy the Clown asked.
"Well I hate my boss; he won't share anything so I decided to hand him in." Nami replied.
Buggy cackled. "You would be a great asset to my crew, AHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Oh sure, I'd love to join you." Nami said.
They all had a party to honour Nami joining their crew.
Lucan saw Luffy reaching for some roast beef that was on the table. Luffy failed, so Lucan snuck to the table grabbed a few slices, went to Luffy's cage and slipped them inside.
"Wow thanks!" Luffy said as he wolfed down the food.
Lucan moved away and hid.
Buggy told his crew to load the cannon with a Buggy Ball. They did as they were told and lit the fuse. The ball blew down many houses of Orange Town and all the pirates were cheering.
"That was flashy! With these Buggy balls and my Devil Fruit Powers, I should have no problem conquering the Grand Line. Right Nami?" Buggy asked.
"Right, yes of course." She said.
"Huh," Luffy said, Buggy and Nami turned to Luffy. "But it's my destiny to conquer the Grand Line, and then I'm gonna become King of the Pirates."
"Shut up idiot." Nami said.
Buggy chuckled. Then he said, "I can see why you're sick of him Nami."
"Yeah, I know. He never takes anything seriously, thinks that life's just a big game. He acts like a little kid. Ehehehehe." Nami replied.
"I see, I'll give you a Buggy Ball to blow away your old boss." Buggy said.
"Huh?" Nami asked.
"It will be a great way opportunity to prove your loyalty to me, your new captain. MEN!" Buggy concluded.
The Buggy pirates set up the cannon facing Luffy's cage and they loaded a Buggy Ball into it.
"That's all right captain," Nami said "We don't have to finish him off quite yet, let's get back to the welcoming party and just have more fun."
"Hehehe, this is my idea of having more fun." Buggy said as he gave Nami a matchbox.
Nami looked at the matchbox as the Buggy pirates were chanting, "FIRE!"
Lucan gripped the hilt of his sword and got ready to charge in and save Nami.
"Now! Light the fuse Nami!" Buggy commanded.
Nami began to sweat.
"Hey! You're not wimping out on me are you?" Buggy asked.
Nami's hands began to shake.
"What's the matter?" Luffy asked, "Your hands are shaking, that's what happens when you take on pirates with half ass resolve."
Lucan grinned.
"Resolve? To do what? To kill someone like it's nothing? Is that a pirate's resolve?" Nami asked.
"No, you've gotta be willing to risk your own life." Luffy concluded.
Nami still stood there motionless, until a pirate snatched the matchbox and said, "Here chick, quit being such a tease. Let me show you how to light the cannon." He lit the match and was moving the flame towards the fuse.
Nami grabbed her 3 part bo-staff and knocked the pirate in the back of the head.
The pirate fell, the chanting stopped. Everyone apart from Nami and Lucan were gawking.
"My mistake, sorry" Nami apologised.
"Nami," Buggy said "What's the meaning of this outrage?"
"I'm sorry." Nami said, as she bowed to Buggy.
"What's wrong? Just shoot him all ready!" Buggy commanded.
Lucan slid his foot back and got ready to charge in.
"Huh, so now you've decided to save me?" Luffy asked.
"Don't be so stupid!" Nami said as she gripped her staff "I'm not doing this for you idiot, I just don't want to lower myself to the level of these inhuman pirates."
"Okay, thanks anyway." Luffy said.
"Pirates took the life of someone very dear to me; I'll never be one of them." Nami said.
"Oh, I see," Luffy said. He then glanced at the fuse. "AHHHHH! Nami! The fuse!"
"So you thing pirates are just inhuman filth, right? GET HER MEN!" Buggy commanded.
Four men known as the Acrobatic Fuwas leaped at Nami, swords at the ready.
Nami swiped at them but they jumped over the attack. She deflected a midair slash, let go her Bo staff and ran towards the fuse. He grabbed the lit fuse putting it out, at the cost of burning her hands.
She screamed out in pain. The Fuwas jumped and were about to kill Nami but Lucan rushed with a war cry, distracting them and causing everyone apart from Nami to look at him.
Lucan unsheathed his clean katana revealing the light shade of purple on the sharp side of the blade.
He clashed with the Fuwas and pushed them away.
"You okay?" He asked Nami.
"Um, yeah I guess." Nami replied.
"That's good," Lucan said, he turned to the pirates. "It's not nice to gang up on a lady."
The Fuwas grunted, got up and charged at Lucan.
Lucan said, "Aero..." as he pulled his sword back.
The Fuwas tried to pounce on him.
"SLASH!"
Lucan slashed and appeared behind the four pirates.
Blood splattered out of their wounds and they fell to the ground.
"Amazing..." Nami said.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Luffy yelled.
Lucan sheathed his sword and sat down.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Nami asked as she took her hands off the fuse.
"Waiting for the cavalry." Lucan replied.
As if on cue Roronoa Zoro slashed some charging pirates with two swords.
Nami gasped. "Zoro!" Luffy yelled.
"Well, here for a while and your already in trouble." Zoro said.
"Just get me out."
"Yeah, yeah"
"Roronoa, have you come for my head?" Buggy asked, with a grin.
"No," Zoro replied "I've given up pirate hunting."
"Well then, I think I'll take your head." Buggy said.
"Bring it on." Zoro said.
"Yeah, bring it on." Lucan said as he hot up and unsheathed his sword.
Buggy charged at them with swords between each finger in his left hand, one in his right.
Zoro grabbed his third sword, Wado Ichmonji and put it in his mouth, completing the Three Sword Style.
Buggy swiped at them. Both Lucan and Zoro dodged. Lucan gave a downward slash while Zoro's was too quick to see. So Lucan assumed that he gave some three sword slash, because Buggy fell to pieces.
"Looks like Buggy the clown isn't so good after all." Zoro said.
"No he's good all right, keep your guard up." Lucan said.
"What?" Zoro asked.
The rest of the pirates started laughing.
"What?" Luffy said.
"Their captain gets killed and they laugh?" Nami asked.
"If he were dead then it wouldn't make sense." Lucan said.
"What are you talking about?" Zoro asked, looking at Lucan. Not knowing that Buggy's top half of his body was floating behind him.
Buggy's hand popped off and shot towards Zoro's kidney.
Lucan kicked the knife out of buggy's hand and grabbed his hand.
Zoro looked behind him, startled. Nami did the same.
Buggy's hand managed to free itself from Lucan's grasp and reattached to Buggy.
Buggy went on about his Chop-Chop Fruit powers about, how you can slash him and he won't die.
Buggy charged again, Lucan pushed Zoro out of the way and blocked Buggy's swiped. He slashed vigorously and ran behind Buggy.
"Hey you," Lucan said talking to Nami "do you still have those matches?"
"Um, yeah." Nami replied.
Zoro caught on and turned the cannon round sp it was facing the Buggy Pirates.
"Light the fuse!" Lucan commanded.
"Aero..."
"SLASH"
Lucan cut part of the cage, pulled Luffy out and said, "Come on!" he then jumped off the building while holding Luffy.
Zoro sheathed his katana and grabbed Nami's Bo staff, while Nami lit the fuse.
They both jumped off the building and there was a giant explosion the whole bar blew up...
Yep, that's that. My longest chappy ever! I wonder if you can guess what Lucan's sword is. Blade with a light shade of purple, hilt with a gold ring in the middle. Blue hilt, not black.
