Chapter 6

"The glutton castaway, the drunkard in the desert, the lecher in prison, they are the happy ones. To hunger, thirst, lust, every day afresh and every day in vain, after the old prog, the old booze, the old whores, that's the nearest we'll ever get to felicity, the new porch and the very latest garden."-Samuel Beckett

The four members of Luffy's pirate crew stood in a line, staring in amazement at the destroyed house Buggy and his pirate crew had been standing on top off. "Explain yourself! I don't understand this at all! From the moment you fought with a lion and came back alive!This isn't humanly possible!" Nami yelled, getting in the young boy's face. "How the hell did you swell up like a balloon?"

"He fought a lion?" Kya muttered to Zoro, who stood with his arms across his chest. He shrugged at her. "I know nothing." He answered making her sigh. This boy was sure going to be a headache. "Gomu Gomu no Balloon." Luffy smiled at Nami, who only got more angry. "I'm not asking you for the name!"

A deep chuckling drew their attention back to the aftermath of the cannon ball, and they saw two men who seemed dead along with a lion. "You're chatting around making a lotta noise, like you're not scared." The voice said. 'That's definitely Buggy.' Kya growled in her mind, as the two men were dropped to the ground revealing Buggy. "This is the biggest humiliation we've ever received under our pirate, Captain." A new voice said, and she looked behind the lion to see some guy with green hair, half long and half braided. He wore a purple open jacket with white pants and scarf around his neck. He wasn't half bad looking, but he was still a little weird. "I'm so mad words fail me..." Buggy muttered to him, a strange look on his face.

"Dammit...I was unconscious...What is this mess?" A new figure muttered, crawling out of the rumble. He looked like he had on a white hat with fluffy ears, but the fur was also around his chest. A large rumbling came from the area next to him, and large man popped out of the debris. He was tall, taller than Buggy, and his muscles were bigger than Zoro's. "Argh! My head!" He grumbled in a somewhat slow voice.

"So many new characters are showing up today." Kya muttered out loud, placing her hands on her hips. 'This should be interesting.' She thought as the green haired one spoke. "Mohji... Lewis...So you're still alive?" He drawled out. "Cabaji! You! What the heck did you do to Ritchie?" the fluffy one, Mohji, shouted angrily as Cabaji threw the lion on the ground. "Ah this kitten? I was afraid my clothes might get a little dirty, so I just used him as my shield."

Mohji fawned over his injured pet, while Lewis laughed loudly in his deep voice, then turned to Cabaji angrily but stopped when he saw Luffy. "Ehck! The kid in the straw hat! Captain be careful with that kid! The kid's also one who has gained powers from the Devil's Fruit! He's a rubber man!" He shouted and Nami turned towards her new captain. "Rubber man?" She gasped and Luffy smiled and pulled his cheeks. "Yeah, wanna see?" he asked and Kya chuckled lightly. 'What a baka little boy.'

"Devil's Fruit?" Buggy drawled out angrily. "That's why he can bounce back the Buggy-Special-Cannon-Ball!" Mohji said to him, only making him angrier. "But Mohji...If you knew that already. Why the heck didn't you tell me so earlier?" Buggy shouted, slinging his crew member away from him.

"Get out of the way!"

Luffy smirked, and moved his body sideways, getting ready to kick. "You get out of the way." He said simply before kicking the fluffy man in the face almost hitting Nami. "The fight has begun!" He added as the man hit the building.

"Buggy's pirate fleet's Commander 'Cabaji the Acrobat'! I'll avenge the pain you caused my crew!" Kya turned to see the other man riding a unicycle towards them, his sword pointed straight at Luffy. "What kind of man talks about himself in third person like that..." She muttered as Zoro stopped the attack with one sword. "If it's swords I'm all for it." He said darkly. "It's an honor, Roronoa Zoro...As a swordsman I get to slay you." Cabaji answered in the same tone.

She watched in slight horror as blood began to drip out of Zoro's bandages. She placed her hand lightly on his shoulder. "Look Zoro, I think it's better if one of us does this. Why don't you go rest?" She said to him, her voice soaked in care.

"Acrobat technique 'Fire Trick'!"

She cried out in pain as Cabaji blew fire in Zoro's face, burning her hand in the process. She fell backwards and watched, as if almost in slow motion, while Cabaji kicked Zoro right in his wound. He flew to the ground, blood flying everywhere while the devilish man laughed. "Eh, what's this? I didn't even kick you that hard, did I?" He chuckled only making her angry. "You dirty bastard! Kicking someone's wound!" She shouted, standing up and clutching her burnt hand. "Commander...Is this girl giving you a hard time?" A slow voice drawled, and she glared at Lewis as he made his way up to the five of them.

"In fact, yes. Yes she is Lewis. Would you mind taking care of her?"

"Anything for you Commander."

Kya jumped in front of Zoro, glaring at the larger man. She was easily three times smaller than he, and obviously a lot less muscular. But she could take him. "K-Kya! Are you sure you can take him? He's huge!" Nami shouted, her eyes shaking in fear. "Don't worry Nami. Kya's got this." Luffy said to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. Kya smiled at him. At least someone had faith in her.

"I don't know how I feel about hurting such a cute girl..." The large man scratched his head. She studied him carefully. Long white hair, blue eyes, no shirt and a ripped pair of shorts. He was quite a...sight. At the least. She sighed. "Can we just get this over with?"

She jumped as his large hand came towards her, which was about as tall as her. She grabbed his pointer finger and swung herself over it, kicking the back of his hand. She watched as it went flying, swinging around and hitting his own face.

"You bitch!" He cried, raising his fists up in the air. She sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "Let's go already." She mumbled, shaking her burning hand. She needed ice, and fast. Or else it would scar up pretty bad.

Her eyes widened in horror as the man who could possibly weigh as much as a two-story building break down into at least ten replicas of himself, each as tall as her. She blinked, hoping she wasn't on some type of drug. "Wh-Whoa! Cooooollll~!" she heard Luffy cry out behind her. The ten mini-Lewis' laughed, their voices sounding like little mice. "I ate the Mini Mini Fruit! Feel the wrath of our power!" They all yelled, making her want to giggle.

She hadn't expected them to lunge so quickly at her, and she jumped on one their heads then onto the building next to them. "After her!" They yelled, bulldozing into the building and it gave way beneath her. "Kya!" She heard someone yell as she jumped to the next building, but she couldn't quite make it out. She jumped over into the next street and the ten little men lined up side by side laughing at her. "You're in for it now!" They yelled, charging together. 'Shit. I can't take them on all together like this!' She thought, panicked. The one in the middle jumped at her and she kicked him in the face, sending him flying backwards. Two more grabbed her ankles and she gasped looking down. She couldn't even move them.

"You're in for it now bitch!"

A large hand hit her stomach, sending her flying backwards. She felt the blood flowing from her mouth and nose as she hit the pavement, and her wound on her head opened up again. "We did it!" Lewis (or Lewis') yelled, jumping around. She pushed herself up on shaky arms, glaring at them. Oh, they were in for it.

She pulled some needles from her bag out and put a few in her mouth. "Are you done with your silly games now?" she said lowly, pulling her dagger out. They all laughed at her. "Games? Who's playing games!"

With a short breath, she watched as two of them fell to the ground, there bodies limp. Not dead, just severely injured. The rest of them froze, staring in horror. She smirked, chuckling darkly. "Who's next?"

Two more lunged at her and she flicked her wrist. They too fell to the ground, unable to move. She threw her dagger, hitting another right in the chest. Blood sprayed around them and he fell. The last five growled and ran after her.

'There's still so many.' She thought bitterly, flipping backwards and dodging their hits. Her body moved gracefully, like a petal in the wind. It was as if she had no weight at all. She praised herself for having such natural balance and suave. It had saved her life so many times throughout these years.

She kicked one in the jaw, and with a loud crack, he flew backwards, leaving only four. "I'll get you for this!" One shouted as he charged at her, yelling unnecessary and she punched him in the face sending him flying backwards. She was surprised at even her own strength sometimes; but she remembered it was what she was trained to do.

She flipped backwards as another one's hand came into contact with the ground, sending shards of gravel everywhere, pieces hitting and cutting her. Her arms gave out, sending her crashing into the ground. 'So weak...' she thought angrily. Her body still hadn't yet recovered from the past month and a half. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out more needles, hitting two more of the mini Lewis'.

"There's only one of you left." She breathed, smiling. He growled. "I can still beat you!" He shouted, coming towards her. She slid her body and kicked her leg up, her foot colliding with his face. Her other foot came behind the back of his head and she twisted his neck. With a bone chilling snap his body lay limp and he fell. She pushed her weight onto her hands and pushed herself into the air, landing on her feet. Strands of her light pink flew into her face as she looked at the disaster she created. If she were anyone else, she would be calling herself a monster. A demon. But she was Kya. And she didn't care.

With swift steps she made her way over to one of them; the one with the dagger in his chest. She grabbed its handle and yanked it from its place, spewing blood over her and the ground. "Gilded Silence..." She murmured out loud, studding the magnificent weapon. It was double sided, and the blade was about seven inches long. The hilt was a shimmery silver covered in gold designs. "The blade that doesn't make a sound." She said as she placed the bloody object back in its rightful place. 'Now, it's time to find Luffy.'

It didn't take long for her to find the crew; all she had to do was listen for shouting. What she didn't expect to find was Zoro sleeping soundly in the middle of the road, Luffy's hat floating in the air with three knives sticking out of it (due to Buggy's floating hand) and Nami watching with wide eyes. Luffy's face was red with anger as Buggy's hand flew back to him, hat still in tow. "What sort of treasure is this rag-like hat?" He laughed.

It was silent for a moment, but Kya could feel the rage coming off Luffy as he turned around and ran straight for the clown. "That is the hat I swore myself to with Shanks!" He yelled, reaching his leg back to hit the other captain. "What? This is Shanks' hat! I thought it looked familiar!" Buggy replied, throwing the clothing item to the ground.

"Me and that guy used to be in the same pirate ship...To rephrase that. He was my comrade when we were still pirate trainees!" He added as Luffy steamed with anger. "What a small world..." Kya muttered to the air as she went and sat cross legged next to the snoring swordsman. "Shanks was a great man! You say that he was your comrade?" Buggy's head popped off as Luffy came closer. "Don't compare yourself with him!" But it was of no use. Luffy's foot collided with the annoying man's stomach, sending him backwards.

She watched as Buggy slid back and Luffy followed after him. She could tell he was shouting, probably about the hat, and jumped on Buggy before beating the shit out of him. She couldn't really hear him, her senses were fading slightly. She needed water, and fast. Falling on her back, she looked up at the sky. The sun shone brightly through the clouds and she sighed. "I want to go to the sky."

"Why are you talking to yourself baka?" Zoro strained, making her laugh lightly. "I wasn't talking to myself. I was talking to nobody." She answered, tilting her head to look at him. He frowned. "Your face is all cut up." He murmured. "And your guts are falling out." She retorted sarcastically. "You're annoying. I'm going back to sleep." "Whatever makes you happy."

"So that's why I promised myself if I can't get anything from under the sea then I'd settle for every treasure above it! With this Devil's Fruit powers!"

Kya sat up slowly at Buggy's annoying voice to see him, well half of him, floating in the air. 'Sure is a weird ass Devil Fruit ability.' She thought to herself before Buggy kept on talking. "Because of that whoever touches my treasure...Whoever that is I never...Leave them alive!" He turned his floating body away from Luffy and her eyes widened as she saw Nami walking around with a bag full of treasures. "Nami!"

"Put my treasure down! Since when did you think you could fool me Nami! Let me send you painfully into the Netherworld!"

Kya stood up quickly, despite her aching body, as she watched in horror. Buggy's armed body headed towards the thief. "I'm not giving you a single thing!" Nami shouted, clutching the bag dearly. That's when Buggy's upper half just...stopped and fell to the ground. She looked at Luffy and started laughing heartedly. His leg was between Buggy's lower half, hitting him directly in the place men cared about the most. 'For a stupid kid he sure is smart.'

"D..Damn Gomu Gomu kid! Dare to kick my bottom half!"

"You're opponent is still me!" Luffy shouted before turning to Nami. "Oi! Put that treasure down and go somewhere safe! You're going to get chased otherwise!" He yelled. Kya sighed and fell to the ground on her butt again. It wouldn't be too long before Luffy would be done and they could-

"You bitch!"

Moving her fist up to the side of her head, she blocked the piece of wood directed at her. It shattered into shards on impact, allowing them to fall over Zoro's body. "You're not dead yet?" She yelled back at the white haired man, who was bleeding profusely and panting. It was only two of them, but they both looked like hell. She stood up against her body's wishes and glared at them. "We'll get you for this!"

She walked closer to them, shaking her head. "Do you guys ever learn?" She muttered, placing a hand on her head and hip. One of them growled, "Watch this!" Their two bodies began shaking and morphed together, forming Lewis again but only slightly bigger. "Now we're one!" He said, his voice only a little deeper. She snorted. "And?"

He brought his fists up in the air and hit the ground, making it break apart in a line straight towards her. She jumped in the air, but was stopped by a large hand around her leg. She gasped. 'He's quick!' She thought as her body was flung into the nearest building.

"Dammit." She muttered, rubbing her bloody head as she pushed the debris off her. She needed to step her game up now. Her body was tired and in pain. These guys were just a thorn in her side. "Alright, listen up. You're annoying. And I'm tired of dealing with you. So let's just get this over shall we?" she smirked, wiping the blood from her mouth. He laughed. "You'll be the first to-" A piece wood collided with his face, sending him sliding.

"What was that?" she shouted, walking out of the hole in the building. Lewis groaned, slowly getting up off the ground, his body shaking. "For such a cute girl, you're such a bitch." He laughed, turning to face her. She smirked and lunged at him, fist ready. She was about a foot away from him, fist almost colliding with his face, when his body split in two, becoming two Lewis' again. They elbowed her in the stomach at the same time, chuckling in her ear as she fell to the ground.

"You think you can beat us?"

These guys were really starting to piss her off. She was getting angrier by the second. Standing up slowly, her body quivering with resistance, she glared at the man. "I'm really getting tired of you." She spat, making them smirk. "And what are you going to do about it?" They laughed, slapping each others shoulders. "You're so weak! I could-"

They didn't have time to finish talking before she grabbed both their heads and slammed them into each other. They made some weird, pitiful sound, before falling to the ground at her feet. "Whaaa! Kya you're so coool~!" She looked up to see Luffy clapping his hands above his head. She chuckled. "You finish your fight?" He nodded and skipped over to the still sleeping Zoro. 'How could he sleep through all this?' she sighed to herself before stepping over the two bodies and over to the three other crew members.

"Oi, Zoro. Get up. Let's go." He slapped the swordsman on the back of the head, making him sit up slowly. "Did you finish the fight?" He asked, oblivious to his surroundings. "Yeah. We also got the map and some treasure!" Luffy answered, smiling. Zoro groaned lightly and placed his head in his hands. "Aah. I don't even think I can walk yet." He muttered.

"Obviously! If you guys can still walk then you aren't even human!" Nami stated, clutching her precious treasure, making Kya laugh lightly. "Why'd you include me?" Luffy whined, looking a little hurt. "You're the weirdest of them all!"

He simply ignored the girl and looked a the Chief, who was still passed out. "Oh yeah! I'll go wake the chief up." He went to skip over to the man, but was interrupted by rude voices. "You guys..." Kya looked over to see a group people with various weapons, glaring at them "Looks like we got company." She muttered.

"We're the people of this village. Did the pirates stir up a fight amongst themselves? If you know anything, please tell us." The man in the front of the group said and Nami stepped forward to intervene. "Oh... so you're the villagers. I think some of the pirate crew are still here. If you want us to tell you then there isn't much left to tell you-"

"The chief!"

The villagers hurried over to their fallen leader, begging for him to get up and asking for answers. "Ah sorry. I did that to the chief." Kya smacked her face with her hand. 'Idiot. He's an idiot. The biggest idiot in the world.' She thought as Nami yelled. "Hey! Why did you tell them that kind of thing on purpose!"

"You saw me do it right...?" He still looked at Nami oblivious as the villagers growled and pointed their weapons at them. "All of you, how dare you do this to our chief!" "It doesn't matter what excuse you give us!" "Who the hell are you? Could you be pirates?"

"We are pirates."

Kya's hand hit her face again, this time harder. "So you are!" The villagers shouted, lunging towards them. Zoro only laughed while Nami shouted at Luffy, who was still oblivious to the situation he put them in. "Yosh! Let's run away!" He said, grabbing the wounded Zoro off the ground and the four took off, the shouting villagers behind them.

"Why the hell did you make the situation more complicated?" Nami shouted angrily. "This is a good village." He put it simply, making Kya look at him strangely. "For their chief, for just one person, they're all getting that mad. No matter what excuse we give, they'll still be mad at us." He smiled as they turned down an alleyway. The dog, Shushu, was sitting in the middle of the street, and Kya almost tripped over him. "What's he doing?" She shouted, regaining her composure.

"Shushu?"

"Ahh! That dog!"

Shushu began barking at the villagers, making them stop dead in their tracks. Thanks to the white dog, they got away safely to the where their boats were docked. "Was getting pretty worried. Thanks to Shushu we barely got away. Why does it always end up this way?" Nami muttered as they slowed to a walk. "Who cares what they think! We did what we came to do!"

"Well, it's not quite like that..."

Kya chuckled to herself before turning around to look at the buildings behind them. Luffy was right. This was a good village. It made her slightly upset to know Buggy came here and completely destroyed the town. All they had left was hope. It reminded her a little of home... How he came and just-

"We have been waiting for you, thief!"

"You guys are..." Nami trailed off making Kya chuckle lightly to herself. It was those idiots her and Zoro had picked up along the way here. "We knew you'd come back if we stayed here." "Hehehehe. I never dreamed that we'd see this boat again in this very harbor after you stole it!" "You won't be able to say that you've forgotten us!"

"You know them?" She heard Luffy asked, his brain was probably very confused right now. "Hmmm. Sort of!" Nami answered a little too quickly. "'Sort of'? We have a long history! Oh, so you have a gang now? I guess we get to teach you all a lesson!"

Kya decided it was her time to intervene now. She watched as the one with the cross bone hat walked up to Zoro and Luffy. "Stealing from others is such a terrible thing to do. Hahaha, man, don't faint like a coward stupid! Hey, hold your head up properly!" he shouted, slapping Zoro on the back of the head. She walked up next to Luffy, chuckling as Zoro looked up. The three idiotic Buggy pirates looked at her then back to the swordsman before screaming and flailing back into the ocean. She only shook her head and jumped into their small little boat. "What was that...?" Luffy muttered, looking at her. She shrugged. "Nothing. Give me Zoro and untie the boat." He nodded, handing the barely conscious man over to her.

"You okay?" She placed a hand on his forehead lightly. "You don't really have a fever." She added, laying him down on the boat. "I'm fine." He muttered, swatting her hand away. She chuckled lightly. "I'll stitch you up when we get out farther, okay?" "Hn."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Luffy jumped onto their boat, while Nami hoped into the boat next to them with Buggy's Jolly Roger on it. "That flag has Buggy's mark on it!" She sighed, annoyed with his stupidity. "It was those pirates' boat so of course it does. I'll erase it later."

"Stop right there you morons!"

All four of them looked over to see the Chief panting heavily by the docks. "What a polite way to greet someone." Kya muttered, making Zoro snort next to her. "I'm sorry! I owe you!" The curly haired man shouted, tears flowing from his eyes as the pirates took off. She smiled lightly and waved at him as Luffy shouted. "Don't worry about it! Just live happy lives!" Kya smiled and leaned back against the railing of the boat.

"Here we go again."
