Chapter 3: Monkey D. Luffy and Catralin Lucan vs. Beast Tamer Mohji
The quadruplet ran on a roof trying to get away from the exploded bar roof.
They reached the edge of the roof they were standing on. Luffy jumped off with his hand on his hat. Then Zoro jumped. Lucan was about to, until Nami stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Lucan asked.
Nami stood there as if she was afraid of jumping, she then asked, "Why should I be going with you guys? Your pirates and I hate pirates."
Lucan turned to her, smiled and said, "They're pirates, I'm not a pirate. So it's okay."
"If you're not a pirate, then why are you helping them?" Nami asked.
"I was helping you, and I just assumed you were with them." Lucan replied. He then jumped off the roof and followed Luffy and Zoro.
"Helping me? Ha, I think he's a pirate." Nami said. She then walked away.
Lucan met up with the two pirates and saw them sitting down by a dog. "Oh yeah, that's Shushu." He thought.
"Thanks for helping my captain." Zoro said.
"No problem." Lucan replied.
"So are you a swordsman?"
"Kind of, I'm kinda in training. I mean, I know karate. But I'm not as good as you."
"Why don't you join our crew?" Luffy suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Lucan said.
"What are you kids doing there?"
The trio of pirates looked to where the voice came from, which was a man dressed in wooden armour. He had round glasses and long grey hair.
"You shouldn't be in the town, it's too dangerous." The man said.
"Who're you anyway old man?" Zoro asked.
"Old man? I'm the mayor of this town," The mayor said "Now what do you think you're doing with Shushu?"
"Shushu? Is that the dog?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah." The mayor said.
"This dog doesn't even do anything."
"Yes it does. It's guarding the store." The mayor replied.
"This pet store?"
They all turned to see Nami walking towards them.
"Yes." The mayor said, "And the man that used to run this store, was a good friend of mine." He walked into the store, got some pet food, and fed it to the dog.
"When he passed, I assumed the responsibility of taking care of Shushu," the mayor explained "Three months ago, after fighting his illness for a very long time."
"Don't tell me he's been waiting for his master to return after all this time." Nami said.
"That seems to be the consensus."
"I find that hard to believe." Lucan said.
Nami glared at him.
"I don't blame you for thinking that, Shushu's a smart dog. He's probably known for awhile that his master isn't coming back." The mayor agreed.
"Then why does he stay at the store?" Nami asked.
"I don't know, he probably has some kind of connection to it. It's his treasure. He's guarding it. His master left him with the shop, so that's why he's protecting it. I've tried to bring him back to my place so he's not out here in the elements, but he won't take so much as a step away from this place." The mayor explained.
THUMP!THUMP!ROOOOOAAARR!THUMP!THUMP!
"Huh, what's that sound?" Nami asked.
"IT'S HIM! BEAST TAMER MOHJI! WE GOTTA RUN!" the mayor yelled.
He grabbed Nami and retreated. Zoro had fallen asleep, oblivious to the noise and Luffy just sat there.
Lucan got up and looked at the giant lion that was approaching them.
"Hmmm, where's Roronoa? Oh, there he is." Mohji said, standing on his giant pet lion, Richie.
"He seems to be sleeping right now, but we can entertain you." Lucan said.
"You entertain me?" Mohji asked with a smug tone, " That's a laugh!"
"Who're you?" Luffy asked.
"I'm known as the Beast Tamer Mohji, a member of the Buggy Pirates." Mohji explained.
"Whoa, that's a weird animal suit you've got on." Luffy said.
Richie growled, Mohji pointed to his, mane like white hair and said, "That was rude. This is manly hair."
"That's even weirder." Luffy replied.
"You miscreant vermin! Richie, ATTACK!" Mohji commanded.
The lion roared and sent it paw to the ground trying to crush Luffy and Lucan.
Both of them dodged the attack.
Lucan unsheathed his sword and said, "Aero..."
Luffy got smashed away by a swipe from Richie. He smashed into a block of houses.
"SLASH!"
Lucan gave a side slash to Riche's back leg.
Richie roared in pain and swiped at Lucan, whom surprisingly blocked the attack.
Lucan jumped, dodging another swipe and said "Aero... KICK!" Lucan kicked Richie in the jaw sending him tumbling to the ground.
Mohji fell off and groaned.
Luffy came running back and said, "Gum Gum..."
Lucan sheathed his sword, ran towards Mohji, grabbed his right shoulder and said "Aero..."
Lucan jumped. Mohji and Riche got up with Mohji still on the ground.
"PISTOL!"
"PUNCH!"
Luffy's arm stretched out and punched Richie in the jaw, while Lucan punched Mohji in the chest. Both enemies went flying in opposite directions.
Lucan ran at Mohji and kicked him away. Luffy walked back to the still intact pet store and patted Shushu on the head.
Lucan sighed and sat down.
The fight was over, and the pet store was still standing.
I know, the ending was a little rushed. But that was a quality chapter. Anyway,
