"Zoro I'm still hungry."

Zoro just grunted and continued lying down in the bottom of the boat, refusing to look at her. How much trouble could one girl be? At least her vest was back on. Suddenly his vision was blocked and he looked up to see a bird, "Maybe we are close to land."

Luffyko had spotted the bird and grinned, "Don't care, I'm hungry and I just spotted dinner!"

Zoro sighed and watched as she launched herself into the air and after the bird. "She better not fall into the water," he muttered as he watched as the bird decided Luffyko was dinner.

"Zoro…I think I'm going on ahead."

"What you idiot!" He screamed as he began to paddle after the bird.

"Hey let us on!" Three men screamed from the water.

"Fine, grab on, but I'm not stopping." He watched as the men grabbed on for dear life and climbed into the boat, "Hey you made it."

The men just laughed cruelly, "Now about your ship."

Zoro made quick work of them and put them to work rowing after Luffyko, "If I lost my friend, you three will be the ones to pay for it." The men quickly reassured him that they would catch up and Zoro looked after the way Luffyko went. 'She's strong so she should be safe, then again, she can't control herself to save her life. She's probably already dead or in the middle of picking a fight with someone she doesn't agree with.'

Meanwhile with Luffyko

"Bird, put me down!" Luffyko cried out as she tried to wiggle her way out of it's mouth. She looked forward and saw a cannonball coming towards her, "Hey bird, watch out." Luffyko felt the impact and looked down and screamed as she began to fall into the street, right between a girl and three men chasing her with swords.

The red head girl rushed over to her, "Thanks boss! I'll leave them to you." The girl rushed off feeling a little guilty leaving a small girl to the pirates, but she needed to survive.

Luffyko watched as the red head ran away and shrugged. She turned to the three men and gave them a smile, "Hey do you know where I could get some food? I am starving."

One of the men looked her over and smirked, "Well we may not have the girl, but we have her cute little boss."

Another of the men smirked then, "Hey little girl you better pay us back for your little thief."

Luffyko shrugged at them, "I don't have any money."

The third man smirked and got closer grabbing her vest, "Then pay us back with your body."

Luffyko shrugged and nodded, "Only if you feed me."

The three men grinned evilly, "Oh we will."

Luffyko grinned and flexed her arms, "Alright I'm really strong, what do I need to lift?"

The one man glared at her, "Don't screw with us!" He yelled as he backhanded her.

Luffyko ducked under it, but her hat got knocked off her head. Her eyes narrowed and she punched him in the face sending him several feet away. She caught her hat and replaced it on her head, "Don't touch my treasure."

The other two glared at her, "You bitch!"

"Gomu Gomu pistol!" Luffyko cried out as she punched them both in the face, knocking them out.

"Incredible! You're really strong!" The red head called out. Luffyko looked up and saw the girl watching her from the top of a building. The red head grinned then jumped down onto a balcony, "You beat three guys with sabers, barehanded!"

"You were that girl from earlier!"

The girl grinned, "I'm a thief who robs pirates! My name is Nami. Hey why don't you join me?"

"No, I have no reason to join you." Luffyko said as she began to walk away.

Nami jumped out of the balcony onto the street, "Wait hold on! I said wait!" She cried out running to catch up with the small girl. When she finally did she heard the girl's stomach growl.

"I remember now, I'm hungry!" Luffyko cried out as she sank to her knees.

Nami gave an embarrassed laugh, "Well, how about I treat you?"

"Really?" Luffyko cried out as she jumped to her feet.

Nami nodded as she looked at the strange girl. She began to lead them off the street and into one of the many houses. She quickly made up a sandwich for the girl, "Here you go."

Luffyko grinned and ate the sandwich in one bite, "It's so good! So do you live here alone?"

"Nope, I don't even live in this town. The locals were afraid of Buggy so they ran away."

"So you're breaking and entering."

"That's rude! I'm a thief who steals from pirates! Don't compare me to someone who breaks and enters."

Luffyko shrugged, "But a thief is a thief, right?

"I will earn one hundred million berries, no matter what."

"What are you going to do with that much money?" Luffyko asked as she began to munch on some bread rolls.

"Secret, if you have a map of the Grand Line, one hundred million berries is no dream."

Luffyko paused from eating, "Map? Are you a navigator?"

Nami grinned, "My navigation skill's are much better than any other navigator's."

Luffyko stood up in excitement, "This is great! Why don't you join us as a navigator?"

Nami got excited then, to be a navigator for someone of this girl's strength, collecting money would be no problem. "Really?"

Luffyko grinned and nodded, "Yep with you and my comrade we would be a crew of pirates!"

Nami's excitement quickly left and a scowl replaced her smile, "No. You are a pirate?" She looked over the slim girl in disbelief; she was too small.

Luffyko grinned, took off her hat, and held it affectionately, "I promised the man who gave me this hat, that I would become a great pirate."

Nami slammed her hands on the table and glared at the girl, "I hate pirates more than anything else in this world. I only like money and oranges."

Luffyko replaced her hat and looked at the girl seriously, "Hey come on, be our navigator."

"I said no."

"Oh well." Luffyko said as she began to eat the bread again.

Nami looked out the window and saw the pirates still looking for her, 'I need to do something.' She then heard Luffyko eat another piece of bread and smirked, "Well if you accept my conditions, I guess I can think it over."

Luffyko grinned, "Really? I will do anything!"

"I want you to come with me to see Buggy, however…" Nami quickly tied the other girl up.

"Hey, why did you tie me up?"

"It's just a rope, it shouldn't be a problem, should it?"

"Guess not. I wouldn't mind meeting some pirates. Let's go!" Luffyko announced as she began to drag Nami along behind her.

"Hey wait up."

Buggy glared at his men, "How could one little thief escape all of you!"

His men cowered before him, trying to defend themselves when one of the guards ran up, "Captain Buggy! The thief from before came back!"

"What did you say?!"

Nami walked up calmly with the tied up girl. She did her best to keep calm as she walked through the pirate crew who looked over them with greedy eyes. One of the men saw her, "That's her! That's the girl who stole the map!"

Nami got in front of the tent and pushed Luffyko to the ground with a smirk. She then looked at Buggy and gave a calm smile, "Captain Buggy, I have captured the thief and have come to return the map."

Captain Buggy looked over the girl, "Thanks for returning the map, but what made you change your mind?"

Nami offered the map to him and let him take it, before she backed up, "I had a fight with my boss, I can' stand her anymore. Let me join your crew."

The men began to panic, "Captain Buggy is getting angry." "The devil fruit power will appear." "What are we going to do?"

"Devil Fruit?" Luffyko wondered as she returned her gaze to the pirate captain.

Buggy began to laugh, "Had enough of her? What an interesting woman! I like you, you can join us."

Nami was surprised but hid it with a smirk, 'My plan succeeded, I knew pirates were simple minded.'

Buggy looked at the small girl tied up in rope in front of him. "Now what to do with you."

Luffyko blinked and found herself tied up in a cage, "Why am I in a cage?"

"I'm in a good mood today." He turned to Nami and gave a cruel smile, "Woman, what is your name?"

"Nami"

"Great! We will have a party in honor of Nami. Let's have some fun!" Food and drinks were set out and the pirates were all having a good time, "What's wrong? Aren't you having fun this is your party?"

"I'm having lot's of fun, thank you so much."

Buggy sat there for a second then shook his head, "No this isn't good enough for our new comrade. Men the buggy ball!" Nami watched as they prepared and fired it, destroying an entire street of houses, "With the power of the Buggy Ball and my Devil Fruit powers, I will rule the grand line. Right, Nami?"

"Of course!"

Luffyko heard him and made a questioning sound getting everyone's attention. "The one who is going to rule the Grand Line is me. I'm going to be the Pirate King."

Nami looked at the girl in horror, couldn't she read the situation she was in? "You are an idiot!"

Buggy tried to contain his laughter, "No wonder you were sick of her." He walked up to her and grabbed her vest pulling her close to the bars, "You better think of a way to make me show you mercy for that little missy." He said as he looked down over the slim girl before him. Luffyko bit his hand and he pulled away, "Nami I'm giving you a present. You get to blow up that old boss of yours. It will also be your test of loyalty to me. Prepare it!"

Nami looked at the girl and began to worry, this was going farther than she thought her plan would go, "Hey since this is a party let's keep eating and drinking!"

"Do it. This is my way of partying."

Nami felt helpless as she was given the matches, 'If I don't shoot, I will be killed.' She looked at the girl in the cage 'It's not my fault, she was so easy to trick. Besides she is a pirate and all pirates are the same. Still, she saved my life, and killing her would make me no better than these pirates.'

"Nami don't go spoiling the party!" Buggy warned.

"What's wrong your hands are shaking." Nami looked up at the girl who still looked calm. "This is what happens when you're not mentally prepared."

"Mentally prepared? To kill people at will? Is that the way of pirates?"

Luffyko leaned forward and grinned, "No, it's being prepared to risk your own life."

Nami stared forward in disbelief, was this girl really ready to risk her life? She felt someone take the matches from her, "Hey newcomer don't make us wait, this is how you light a match." She watched as he brought it closer to the wick. She ground her teeth together and grabbed her three-piece pole and threw the pieces together bringing it down on the pirate's head.

"What's the meaning of this Nami?"

Nami quickly bowed and apologized. Luffyko looked at the girl, "What are you doing? Didn't you just save me?"

"Don't be ridiculus, I just got too excited and slipped." She said as she readied her pole against the pirate crew surrounding her, "I won't stoop to the same level as these pirates."

"Oh got too exicted."

"I will never be like the pirates who took my most important person away from me."

"Is that why-" Luffyko screamed instead of finishing her sentence, "The cannon, it's lit!

Buggy glared at Nami, "You think you can defy me, you bitch?"

A swarm of pirates charged at Nami. She swung at them then blocked one as he attacked. She lost grip of her pole then ran towards the cannon stopping the burning wick with her bare hands, crying in pain as it burned her.

Luffyko looked at the girl with surprise, "You…" she watched as the pirates went to attack her, "Behind you!"

"Time to die!" The pirates yelled out.

Nami lowered her head and waited for their steel swords to cut into her flesh. "All these men picking on one little girl?"

Luffyko grinned, "Zoro!"

Nami looked at the girl in the cage then turned around to see a swordsman standing here with the beaten bodies of the pirates before him, "Injured?"

Nami was surprised, "Eh?"

"Are you injured?"

Nami shook her head slowly, "No, I'm fine."

Luffyko breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness. You were actually able to find this place! Hurry up and get me out of here!"

Zoro sighed and turned to his captain, sitting in a cage with a grin, "What on Earth are you doing? A bird takes you away and now you are in a cage?"

"Well it was a lot of fun."

The pirate crew suddenly realized, "Zoro…It's the pirate hunter! Roronoa Zoro!"

Nami looked at him then, 'the comrade she was talking about was the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro? What's going on?'

Buggy looked at him, "So you are Zoro, what do you want? Did you come for my bounty?"

"Nope not interested. I quit being a pirate hunter."

"But I'm interested, if I kill you I will become even more famous." Buggy chuckled evilly.

Zoro turned and glared at the pirate captain, "Do it, and you will die."

"Eh okay."

Zoro sighed as he watched Buggy play with the knives in his hands. "I guess words can't make him understand." Zoro drew his swords, one placed in his mouth. He watched as Buggy charged and he effortlessly cut him down. He sheathed his swords and looked at the cut apart captain, "No reaction at all."

Luffyko cheered in amazement, "Wow this guy is really weak!"

Nami looked at the captain and Zoro in amazement, "No way." She heard the crew chuckle and looked at them, "What's going on? Their captain was just killed and they are laughing."

Zoro glared at the crew, "What's so funny?" As soon as he finished saying that he felt cold steel pierce into his flesh. He looked down at his side and saw a blade had pierced all the way through.

Luffyko watched as her comrade fell to his knees, "Zoro!"

Nami looked over and saw the unattached hand holding the knife inside of Zoro, "What's with that hand?" She cried out.

Zoro watched as the knife and hand returned to their owner, "Seperation Fruit. That's the name of the fruit I ate." Buggy said with a grin. "I can't be killed with a sword! I'm a separation man!"

Nami stared at the man in horror, "He's body went back together? I thought Devil Fruits were just a myth!"

"Splitting man? He's a monster!" Luffyko cried out.

Buggy laughed and looked at Zoro, "Although it's not a critical wound it is pretty serious. The fight is over."

"This situation doesn't look very good." Zoro muttered as he tried to control his pain.

Luffyko looked at Nami paniking then at Zoro who had been badly injured. She glared at Buggy, "Attacking from behind is cowardly! You big red nose!" She yelled at him, trying to draw his attention away from her injured comrade.

Nami looked at the girl with horror, 'That idiot, of all things to say!'

Buggy turned in shock to the caged girl, "Who did you say has a big red nose?!" He screamed as he threw his hand and dagger at the girl.

Zoro fought to move as he watched as the dagger went at the girl's face, "Luffy!"

"Buggy!" Luffyko yelled out, dagger clenched between her teeth. "I will kick the crap out of you." She said with a grin as she broke the dagger between her teeth.

Buggy laughed at the girl, "Kick my ass? You gotta be dreaming, girly. All three of you are going to die today. Now how should I finish you three off?"

Luffyko just laughed in their face, "I'm not going to die! Run Zoro!"

Nami looked at her in surprise, "You are telling the guy who came to save you to run away?! What about you?"

Luffyko just sat there with a grin, and Zoro got what she was trying to say, "Rodger, Captain."

Nami just looked at the two confused, 'No good, I don't understand them. This is why I hate pirates!'

Buggy lunged at Zoro, "Idiot, you can't escape!" He swung at Zoro, who was able to stand up and block every attack. He was able to cut Buggy down the middle then rushed past him. "Fool! Your three style sword technique has no effect on me!" Buggy realized Zoro was no longer in front of him and was instead running towards Luffyko, "Hey listen when I'm talking!" Zoro went to the cannon and flipped it. Buggy went wide eyed, "What! We're going to die! The Buggy Ball is still in there!"

Zoro struggled to regain his strength, "Hey light it." Nami nodded and lit the cannon. Luffyko, Nami, and Zoro braced themselves for the cannon to fire. Buggy and his crew watched in horror as the cannon fired.
