I Fell

Chapter 4: Second Wind! Lucan vs. Mohji!
"You were defeated? How?" Buggy asked.
"I'm very sorry captain, sorry I failed." A beaten up Mohji replied.
Mohji had gone back to the area of where Buggy was staying. He was all beaten up due to what Lucan and Luffy did. Richie was still unconscious behind him.
"Mohji, I can't believe you were beaten by Zoro." Buggy said.
"No it wasn't Zoro, it was that straw hat and blue guy." Mohji said.
"What! I can see why the blue swordsman could have put up a good fight, but straw hat? There's no way they both could have gotten the better of you!" Buggy said, with an astonished tone.
"He ate the Gum-Gum..." Mohji began to say but passed out due to tiredness.
"Now I'm really pissed off, prepare the remaining Buggy Balls! I'm gonna blow this miserable town to smithereens." Buggy commanded.
"Sorry about earlier. I've been giving you the cold shoulder lately."Nami apologised.
"Don't worry about it; you didn't think pirates like us could be so honourable." Lucan replied.
Nami's eyes widened in surprise. "You're a pirate?" She asked.
"Yeah, why?" Lucan asked.
Nami then got angry, "You liar! You said you weren't a pirate!"
"I said I wasn't a pirate when I wasn't a pirate. I became one after they asked me to join their crew, Miss Navigator." Lucan replied, with a sly grin.
"I'm pathetic. Shushu and these young'uns have fought so hard and I, the mayor, have done nothing but sit back and watch our town be obliterated by Buggy the Clown!" The mayor said.
Luffy, Lucan and Nami ran in front of the mayor, and Nami said, "Calm down, it's not that bad!"
"Forty years ago, this town was just barred and rugged land. We all worked together to make fields for our crops. We opened stores, and built everything from the ground up. This town is a treasure to me and all its citizens! From here on out, I refuse to let Buggy and his crew terrorize this town anymore!" The mayor vowed.
KABOOM! SMASH!
They all looked to see houses explode all around them.
"He's going to destroy the whole town." The mayor said.
"Ahhhhh! Zoro's still sleeping in there!" Luffy said, he pointed to a blown up house where Zoro was conveniently sleeping in. He went in there while Luffy and Lucan were fighting Mohji and Richie.
"I'm sure he's dead now."
Lucan sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets. Shushu had run away from the explosions.
"Zoro? You still in there? You still alive?" Luffy asked.
Zoro appeared out of the smoke, "That's a heck of way to wake a guy up." He murmured.
"Hahahahahaha!" Luffy laughed.
"I could have used a few more Z's." Zoro tiredly said.
"How did you survive that blast?" Nami asked.
"All right! You're alive!" Luffy said, relived.
"I refuse to let him get away with this. I won't stand for it. I can't let this scumbag destroy all that these townspeople worked for these forty years. I am the mayor of this town; I will protect it and its inhabitants! I swear to my dying breath!" the mayor vowed.
The mayor began to run to Buggy, Nami tried to restrain him by grabbing waist. The mayor struggled to break free of Nami's grasp.
"Stop! You can't defeat Buggy!" Nami said.
"Perhaps, but there are some fights that a man can't run from. Isn't that right?" The mayor asked.
"That's right old man!" Luffy replied.
"Shut up!" Nami scolded, "Don't nag him on Luffy! It's dangerous for him to fight Buggy!" Nami kept pulling.
"I know it's dangerous!" the mayor yelled.
Nami released him and the mayor started running.
"I'M COMING FOR YOU BUGGY THE CLOWN!" the mayor shouted.
"The mayor was... crying." Nami said.
"Really? I didn't notice." Luffy replied.
"Looks like the parties' getting exciting." Zoro said, with a smug tone.
"Yeah," Lucan said with a sly look, "Buggy's going down."
"Hehehehe." Luffy laughed.
"This is no time for laughter." Nami said with a concerned look and tone.
"I grew fond of that old man. There's no way I'll let him die." Luffy replied.
"Well, in that case..." Zoro said as he took his bandanna of his arm and tied it onto his head. Lucan tightened his bandanna.
"You're going to?" Nami asked.
"Yeah." Lucan and Zoro said in unison.
"Well if we're gonna make it to the Grand Line, we better go steal that chart back," Luffy resolved. "Well, are you gonna join our crew or what? Come on." Luffy held out his hand.
"I'll never sink so low as to become a pirate," Nami said, she slapped Luffy's palm. "But I suppose we could team up, in order to achieve our common goal."
Luffy sniggered.
"The second shot is ready sir." A Buggy pirate said.
"All right then, fire" Buggy commanded.
"Come out, Buggy the Clown!"
The Buggy pirates looked down below the roof to see the mayor panting.
"I'm Mayor Boodle and this town is my treasure! I won't let you terrorise my people any longer! So come out and fight me!" Boodle yelled.
"You idiot, this town's no treasure. Treasure is gold, silver and jewellery, so cut the crap old man and get out of here before I kill you." Buggy commanded.
"You could never understand how I feel!" The mayor shouted.
The mayor suddenly started slowly rising from the ground gagging.
"Soon I'm going to conquer the Grand Line and flashily obtain all the world's riches. And there's nothing you can do to stop me. The entire world will belong to me. Now if this town means so much to you, perhaps I'll do you a favour and kill you first! That way you'll won't to see me destroy your precious village." Buggy said, with a smug tone.
"Shut up... and fight me already!" Boodle managed to say he was being choked by Buggy's chopped off hand.
"Don't get cocky." Buggy replied.
"I'll never let you destroy this town. If it costs me my very life! Ahhh!" Boodle groaned.
"So be it! Huh?"
Luffy separated Buggy's hand from Boodle's neck.
"That straw hat, not again!"
"I'm here to kick your ass, just like I promised I would Buggy." Luffy said with a smile.
Luffy released Buggy's hand and it floated to Buggy and reattached itself.
"Damn you. Straw hat! You can't just walk up to me and treat me like that! I'M CAPTAIN BUGGY AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT!" Buggy yelled.
"You sound like retarded crow! RAW-RAW!" Lucan mocked, imitating a retarded crow.
The Straw Hat pirates sniggered.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Buggy commanded; still with his crow-like yell with his face all red with either embarrassment or anger.
Nami looked at Zoro and said "Listen to me, I only want the chart and the treasure and I'm outta here, you got it?"
"Yeah, I got it." Zoro replied.
Boodle coughed as he sat on the ground and said "Get out of here, why d'you follow me? You're outsiders, leave this to me. This is my fight, and I need to be the one to protect my town," He picked up his spear and rose "Buggy is my fight!"
Luffy pushed Boodle's head into a pole, sending him out cold.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," Nami asked as Luffy clapped his hands, cleaning them. "Why d'you knock out the mayor?"
Luffy turned to Nami with a smile and replied "Because."
"That's not a bad idea; if the old man had continued to fight he would have died, it's for the best." Zoro explained.
"You didn't have to hit him, we could have thought of a humane way of dealing with the situation!" Nami scolded Luffy.
"No we couldn't, even if we tied him up he'd keep screaming and he'd ruin the fight. He'd probably distract us and may end up getting us killed." Lucan said.
Luffy stepped toward Buggy. "Here goes..." He said, he took a deep breath. "BIG NOSE!"
Everybody apart from Lucan and Zoro hung their mouths open.
Nami with her hands clapped to her cheeks exclaimed, "That's just the worst thing you could have said to him!"
"That's it. You damn flashy idiot! I won't stand for this." Buggy said.
"At least he doesn't like a crow anymore." Lucan said.
"TAKE AIM AND FIRE THE BUGGY BALL!" Buggy commanded his crew.
"Spoke to soon." Lucan said, shrugging his shoulders.
Buggy's crew set up the cannon.
"Why d'ya have to say that?" Nami asked, running away.
"Come on Luffy, blue guy, we gotta go!" Zoro exclaimed.
"You go ahead," Luffy said.
"TIME TO DIE!" Buggy yelled.
"I'll be fine, just watch."
"I'll be fine too, and don't call me blue guy! Green guy! It's Lucan!" Lucan scolded.
The cannon was fired.
"Gum Gum Balloon." Luffy inhaled and his belly became a filled with air, like a balloon.
"Oh thanks Luffy." Lucan said. He jumped onto Luffy's belly and used it to bounce himself towards the Buggy Ball.
Lucan drew his sword and slashed straight though the Buggy ball.
"Hey! What was that for?" Luffy asked irritated.
"Sorry but you're defeating Buggy." Lucan replied.
"Aero..." Lucan spun his sword.
"BURST!"
He created a gust of wind which blew a great wind into the Buggy Pirates.
The enemies all fell as Lucan landed on the roof.
Buggy rose with a growl.
Lucan flashed a grin and then jumped off the roof.
"COWARD!" Buggy yelled.
"Fried Crow!" Lucan called back as he sheathed his sword.
"What do you mean fried cro- AHHHHHHH!" Buggy began but was interrupted when the building he was on exploded.
When the dust cleared Luffy said "All right! You got em!"
"What the hell kind of monster are you guys?" Nami asked.
"I think you freaked her out." Zoro said.
"No shiz, marimo." Lucan said.
"Hey!"
The building was totally obliterated.
"I knew something was wrong when you survived the lion! No human being could do what you do! Now explain yourselves! What was the balloony flatey thing and what was with the cutting the Buggy Ball and sending some kind of exploding slash?" Nami loudly asked.
"That was the Gum Gum Balloon." Luffy replied.
"I don't care what you call it! Just tell me how you did it! What are you? Some kind of freak?"
We were interrupted by a big red nosed crow.
"How dare you try to flashily do me in." Buggy said as his floating, chopped off hands dropped the two exploded pirates they were holding.
"Unreal, using his men as a shield." Nami said.
Suddenly a maned man popped out of the rubble.
"What in the world just happened here?" Mohji asked.
"No! It's you!"
"Hi." Luffy and Lucan said in unison.
"AHHH! IT'S THAT DAMN STRAW HAT AND BLUE GUY AHHH!" Mohji yelled.
"Great, if blue guy's my bounty nickname I'll go to Sengoku myself and tell him to change it." Lucan said.
"What was that?" Zoro asked.
"Nothing."
"Captain Buggy, we have to be careful, he has Devil Fruit powers too, he's a rubber person, and I saw it myself!" Mohji said.
"What?" Buggy asked.
"Rubber person?" Nami repeated.
Luffy stretched his cheeks and Nami flinched.
"How do you plan to respond to this insult?" A voice asked. A long black haired man, with amber and green highlights draped over one eye, a long, blue and white checked scarf, a sleeveless long dark blue, open jacket and white trousers with a green sash, and was holding Mohji's giant pet lion, Richie.
"Oh Cabaji, I don't know, I'm too angry to even fart." Buggy replied.
"But him down Cabaji! What did you do to Richie?" Mohji exclaimed.
"This cat? I used him as a shield to help keep my clothes from getting dirty." The man known as Cabaji said, as he dropped the lion.
"Richie!"
"Richie, say something!"
Richie took one glance at Cabaji, and hid behind a broken wall.
"You bastard!" Mohji yelled, he charged at Cabaji and tried to punch him, but Cabaji just kicked him away.
Mohji went flying towards Luffy.
"Outta my way!" He yelled.
Knowing that Luffy would kick Mohji into a wall, knocking him out, Lucan pushed Luffy out of the way.
"Why d'you do that?" Luffy asked.
"Well you're gonna fight Buggy, Zoro's gonna fight Cabaji, Nami's gonna get Buggy's treasure so I wanna fight Mohji." Lucan explained.
Cabaji suddenly rose into the air, on a unicycle, with a sword in hand. When he landed he sped towards the straw hats.
"Call me Acrobat Cabaji. Captain Buggy's Chief of staff. You will pay for your insolence" He said.
He tried to stab Luffy but Zoro blocked the sword. "I'll clash swords with you." He said.
"It's an honour, Roronoa Zoro. As a swordsman myself I relish this chance to slay you," Cabaji replied. "Parsonist's technique." Cabaji blew fire onto Zoro.
Lucan ran over to Richie. "Richie! You pussy!"
There was a silence. Then suddenly Richie burst from behind the wall in a fit of rage.
Lucan ran away from the angry lion.
"WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?" Nami asked, as Lucan and Richie passed her.
"I want an opponent!" Lucan called back.
"Stop Richie!" Mohji yelled from where he landed.
Richie did as he was told and stopped, growling in anger.
"How dare you mock my Richie! I'll be your opponent! Straw hat won't save you now!" Mohji said.
"I didn't need saving back then, I can beat you without my sword!" Lucan replied.
"Insolence! You caught me off guard before! Now we're gonna tear you apart!"
"Bring it!"
Mohji drew a whip and Richie roared.
Lucan drew his sword and watched his opponents.
Richie brought his paw down on Lucan. When the dust cleared Lucan was still standing, using his sword to block the paw.
Lucan hopped back and jumped. He slashed down on Richie, giving a gash on his forehead.
Lucan was hit by Mohji's whip, and then he was sent flying into a building by Richie.
"HAHAHAHA! You cannot win!" Mohji mocked.
Lucan stepped out of the rubble without a sound.
"You bastard..." He said.
Richie charged at Lucan.
"You damaged the house..."
Mohji advanced.
Lucan sheathed his sword.
"It doesn't belong to you and its mayor Boodle's treasure!"
Richie leaped.
"Aero..."
Richie brought his paw down.
"PUNCH!"
Lucan punched Richie in the jaw. The big lion went flying into a wall.
Mohji flinched a little, but he continued to charge at Lucan.
"Aero KICK!"
Lucan kicked Mohji into another wall, knocking him out.
"That should break some teeth, but he's a pirate. I'll just blame it on scurvy." Lucan concluded.
"Now! I'm gonna break some more houses with this stupid lion."
Lucan ran over to Richie and grabbed his mane. Lucan drove the lion's face into houses.
"They're not normal," Nami said, away from the Zoro's battle with Cabaji. "Both Luffy and Zoro are completely crazy. If I join up with them I can tell that nothing good will come of it."
Suddenly, the left side of the alley that Nami was in, crashed down and a lion's head emerged.
Nami stepped back away from the destruction, with a scream.
Lucan emerged holding the Richie's mane, while charging its face into the walls of the houses.
"I'VE HAD IT YOU STUPID LION! GET OUT OF HERE! AERO..." Lucan yelled.
He spun round, still holding the lion's mane, so he was also spinning Richie.
"JUMBO JET!"
Lucan let go of the poor lion and it was sent shooting into the sky.
Lucan landed on the ground and he breathed heavily.
When he saw Nami with a look of shock on his face he said, "Hi."
This resulted in a knock on the head and a "You almost killed me!" from Nami.
