Buggy glared at the girl before him and had his hand reattach to his body after she let it go, "Damn you strawhat." He said as he glared at her and the little group with her. "How dare you. You can't just waltz up to me and treat me like this! I'm Captain Buggy and I won't stand for it!" He screeched.

Nami turned to Zoro, "Listen to me, all I want is the chart and the treasure. Then I'm out of here. Got it?"

Zoro stood uncaring, hands in pockets, "Ya I got it."

The mayor finally regaining his breath tried to convince them to leave, "Go get out of here, why did you follow me? Your outsiders, leave this town to me. This is my town, so I need to be the one to protect this town." He said as he reached for his weapon. "Buggy is my fight!"

As he said that Luffyko pulled back and pushed his face into a house, knockng him unconscious. Nami watched in horror then yelled at the girl, "What the hell do you think you are doing? Why did you knock out the mayor?"

Luffyko brushed her hands off and turned with a smile, "Because."

Zoro with his bandana on looked at his small captain and shrugged, "It's not a bad idea. If the old man had continued to fight he would have died. It's for the best."

Nami ignored him and continued to yell at the girl, "You didn't have to hit him! I'm sure we could have found a more humane way to deal with the situation!"

Luffyko had stopped listening and began to walk closer to the building Buggy was at. "Well here it goes," she said as she took a deep breath then yelled, "Big nose!"

Everyone was in shock and Nami grabbed her hair in frustration, "That idiot! That's the worst thing you could have said to him!"

Buggy glared at the girl, his rage was unstoppable now, "That damn flashy idiot. I won't stand for this. Take aim and fire the Buggy ball!"

Zoro and Nami both moved closer to the girl stirrng up all the trouble. "Why did you have to say that?" Nami cried out as she took off running.

Zoro took another step towards his captain, "Come on Luffyko we have to go."

Luffyko stood her ground, "You go ahead,"

"Time to die!" Buggy yelled.

Luffyko just smirked, "I'll be fine, just watch." She said as the Buggy Ball was fired. As it approached she said, "Gomu Gomu Balloon!" Her stomach expanded and she was able to catch the canon and return it back at Buggy.

Zoro sighed and placed his hand on his head, "She could have warned me."

Luffyko held her hat down as the ball exploded and grinned, "Alright! I got them!"

Nami sat up and glared at the girl, "What kind of monster are you?"

Zoro walked up to his captain, "I think you freaked her out." Then he noticed something and quickly turned around bright red. "Nami," he called out and then pointed at his captain, vest unbuttoned after the last attack.

Nami looked and then screamed, "Luffyko!"

Luffyko turned around and looked at the other girl, "What?"

Nami hit her in the head then buttoned the girl's shirt. "What kind of girl are you? Don't you know anything?"

"Who wants to be a girl, they are weak!" Luffyko laughed only to receive another hit from Nami, "I'm sorry." She said with a small bow.

Nami sighed then turned to see the rest of the building then gasped. The building was completely demolished. "I knew something was weird after you survived that fight with the lion. No human being can do what you can do. Now explain yourself. What was that weird balloon inflatey thing you did just now?"

"That was the Gum Gum Balloon."

"I don't care what you call it, tell me how you did it! What are you some kind of freak."

"How dare you try to flashily do me in." Buggy said from two men he had held in front of him to protect himself. He threw them down and received disgusted looks from the little group opposing him.

"Unreal, using his men as a shield." Nami said as she looked down at the pirate captain.

Suddenly the lion tamer, Mohji, awoke in the rubble, "What just happened." He stood up and then saw the girl, "No it's you!"

Luffyko just grinned and waved, "Hi!"

Mohji began freaking out, "Ah it's the damn strawhat! Captain Buggy we have to be careful! She has devil powers too! She's a rubber person! I saw it myself!"

Buggy looked at his subordidnate, "What?"

"A rubber person?" Nami asked curiously looking at the girl.

Luffyko nodded, "Ya, see." She said as she pulled her cheeks out and away from her face, making Nami move away from the strange girl.

"A devil fruit. That explains everything. That's how she was able to bounce the Buggy Ball back at me." Buggy said.

Suddenly more rocks were moving away and another person stood up holding the lion, Richie, up as a shield, "So captain, how do you plan to respond to this insult?"

"Oh Cabaji, I don't know. I'm to mad to think."

Mohji glared at him as he held Richie, "Put him down now Cabaji! What the hell did you do to my Richie?"

Cabaji glared at Mohji, "This cat? I used it as a shield to keep my clothes from getting dirty." He said as he tossed the lion down.

Mohji rushed towards his lion, "Richie! No Richie say something please!" Richie saw Cabaji's galre and quickly went to hide behind part of the fallen building. "Damn you! You bastrrd!" He yelled as he charged his crewmate only to get kicked out of the way sending him flying towards the straw hat girl, "Get out of my way!"

"How about out of my way!" Luffyko yelled as she kicked him in the face sending him into a house.

Cabaji looked at the girl and smirked, there was nothing he loved more then cutting into the flesh of some little girl. "Captain Buggy."

"Yes Cabaji?"

"Allow me to repay their disrespect."

"Fine but make it a good show for everyone."

Cabaji leaped over his captain on his unicycle and charged towards the straw hat girl, his blade thirsting for her blood, "You may call me Acrobat Cabaji, Buggy's Chief of Staff. You will pay for your insolence."

Zoro watched as the man began to charge his captain. There was no way he was going to touch his captain. Right before he was able to strike at her Zoro blocked his attack, "I'll clash swords with you."

"Roronoa Zoro, it is an honor. As a swordsman myself I relish this chance to slay you." He said as he glanced down at the wound Zoro held.

Luffyko walked around to look at Zoro, "Hey Zoro, you should really get some rest. Let me handle this guy."

Zoro refused to look at her. There was no way he was going to let this guy have any pleasure in fighting his captain. Even a small amount of blood from her would give this creep pleasure. "Just stay back."

Cabaji smirked then yelled, "Arsonist technique!" He swung his sword down then began to breath fire making Zoro try to protect himself from the flames. Then Cabaji swung and kicked Zoro's side where he had been stabbed. The two girl's flinched from the blow and Zoro let out a strangled yell as he collapsed to his back, trying to get a breath of air. "What's wrong? I didn't kick you that hard, did I?"

Nami glared at the man, "He fights dirty, going after his injury like that."

Cabaji continued his assault when he said, "Acrobat technique, Murder at the steam bath."

Zoro sat there and muttered, "Acrobat my ass, that's just an ordinary dust cloud." He said until he saw the swords coming after him. He quickly blocked them only to be kicked in his injury again. Zoro gave his mutted yell as the momentum of the kcik sent him rolling away.

Nami glared at the man again, "He did it again!"

Cabaji looked down at Zoro who was on all fours trying to breath, "What's this. It's such a disgrace to see a groan man moaning. I suppose you see how foolish it was to fight against the Buggy Pirates."

Nami looked at Zoro in shock, "To keep fighting with such a bad injury is crazy. He's hurt so bad, I don't know how he can stay in the fight?" She turned to Luffyko and yelled, "Why are you just standing there watching him? He's going to get himself killed you know?"

"Poor Roronoa Zoro is finished!" Cabaji yelled as he lunged.

Zoro had felt Luffyko's eyes on him. He was not going to lose, he didn't need her help. "You annoying little bastard." He said as he stood up, "You having fun poking at my wound? Then go ahead!" He challenged as Cabaji stabbed his injury.

Everyone watched in shock as it happened. Nami covered her mouth and Luffyko clenched her teeth, "Ouchy" she said as she watched her comrade continue standing.

Nami looked at him in shock, "Why didn't you dodge the attack?"

Zoro refused to look at the two girls he was protecting, "Is that enough of a handicap for you? Now let me show you, just how superior my skills are to yours."

Luffyko almost knocked over Nami in her excitement, "Ya Zoro! Get him!"

Cabaji glared at him, "You fool, you've made a vast error in judgement. I won't be mocked."

"My swords aim to become the World's Greatest. I refuse to lose to even once to anyone who calls themselves a swordsman."

"I see so a strong resolve keeps you going. But have no fear, wounds as bad as yours will be more than enough of an excuse to lose to me."

"To hell with that. If I lose to someone like you, even with these minimal injuries, then I don't have a very bright future than, do I?" Zoro said as he placed his third sword in his mouth.

Cabaji glared at the swordsman, "Why you."

Luffyko grinned and cheered, "Alright! Go Zoro!"

Nami gasped then looked away from the girl, "I won't stay and watch this. You pirates can stand around and kill each other for the rest of time for all I care. I mean it doesn't matter to me whether you guys win or lose." She began to walk away then turned back, "I'm going to take this opportunity to steal their treasure and get out of here. Maybe we can team up again if we ever get the chance. See ya good luck with the fight!" She finished as she ran off and muttered, "Those two aren't normal. I can tell if I stay with them nothing good will come of it."

Cabaji looked at his opponent then yelled, "Here's a taste of my ultimate acrobat technique. Acrobat technique the dance of a hundred kamikaze tops! " Hundreds of tops went out at Zoro who easily dodged them, "Acrobat technique a hike in the mountains, fireworks in the cool summer breeze, stain of the unicycle."

Luffyko watched in amazement at the high jump of the acrobat, "Wow that's high!"

Buggy laughed then did his own move, "Ground hugging chop chop canon!" He said as he launched his hand at Zoro. "Cabaji I'll hold him and you finish him off!"

"Done!"

Zoro watched from the corner of his eye as the hand came towards him, 'Damn it' he thought. Then before the hand could grab him Zoro saw Luffyko step on the hand giving him the time needed to dodge. He turned back to look at the girl who had saved him, yet again. "Luffyko."

"You bastard!" Buggy yelled as he held the end of his arm where pain was shooting up.

Luffyko looked at the pirate captain and gave a cold grin, "If your looking for someone to fight how about me?"

Zoro looked at his captain and knew she would be fine; she was powerful in her own way. He panted for air as Cabaji looked down on him. "I can assure you I don't need my captain's help to finish you off."

"Enough. I'm tired of this." Zoro muttered.

Cabaji laughed, "So you have finally given up have you? I must say I'm quite impressed that you lasted this long with such serious injuries."

Zoro glared at him and stood up, "I think you misunderstand, I'm tired of watching your boring little sideshow."

Cabaji glared at him, "I'm sorry I have disappointed you, allow me to show you my real swordsman skills. Die Zoro!" He yelled as he began his final strike.

"Oni Giri!" Zoro said as he cut down Cabaji.

"Cabaji!" Buggy yelled.

"I can't believe the Buggy Pirates were brought down by petty thieves." Cabaji said as he fell to the ground.

"We're not thieves, we're pirates." Zoro said as he fell to the ground. "Luffyko, I'm going to sleep." He knew he couldn't help her any longer, but something told him that Luffyko would be fine.

"Good! I'm looking forward to this!" Luffyko said with a grin as she faced Buggy.

"You guys are pirates?"

"Ya we are searching for the Grand Line." Luffyko replied as the pirate captain looked down at her.

"That's not an easy voyage you know and I don't think the likes of you can handle it. What are you going to do, if by some miracle you get there, go on a sight seeing tour or something?"

Luffyko answered with a straight face, "I'm going to be King of the Pirates."

Buggy looked at her dumbstrucked, "You can't be serious you idiot! If you are the King of the Pirates then I'm God! There can only be one King of the Pirates and obtain all of the world's treasures and that's going to be me."

"Your annoying." Luffyko said as she brought her hand into a fist, "Let's finish this."

Buggy brought his knives out and glared at the girl, "Seeing that straw hat brings back memories of him, and that makes my blood boil. So bring it on you wannabe pirate. You remind me of him. That damn red haired pirate."

"Wait what did you say? Red haired pirate? Are you tsaying you knew my old friend Shanks?"

"That's right I knew Shanks once."

Luffyko looked at him in shock, "Do you know where he is now?"

"I don't know, I guess that depends straw hat, maybe I do, maybe I don't."

"What are you talking about? Did you forget?" Luffyko asked tilting her head trying to understand what the man was saying.

"No I didn't forget you moron! I'm not going to just tell you where he is out of the kindness of my heart. You have to work for that."

Luffyko smirked and pulled her arm back, "Fine, I'll make you tell me."

"You can give it your best shot, but I doubt your chances. I doubt rubber can bounce back from a blade." Buggy said with a grin as he looked at the rubber girl.

Luffyko nodded seriously, "You're right."

Buggy grinned then got ready to attack, "Chop Chop rice platter!" He yelled as he became a swirling ball of blades. Luffyko easily jumped over it. "You can't move in mid air, can you? Too bad." He said as he threw his hands at her body.

"No your wrong." She said as she grabbed a pole and pulled her body out of the way.

Buggy laughed and admired her skills, "How interesting."

"Your not so bad either." Luffyko replied with a laugh as she pulled back her arm "But here comes Gum Gum Pistol!" She said as she stretched her fist at him.

Buggy dodged and smirked, "Neat abilities alright, but they leave you wide open. I'll carve you up!" He said until he realized what she was doing, "Chop Chop quick escape!"

"Gum Gum Sickle!" She yelled as she flew by his head flying off to prevent it from getting hit. Luffyko landed in the rubble of the building after her attack.

"Not good enough Gum Gum." Buggy laughed.

"Damn he keeps breaking into pieces." Luffyko pouted.

"Chop Chop Cannon!" Luffyko caught the hand and kept the knives away from her, "Separate." Sending the knives into her face making him laugh, "So runt want to give up yet?"

Luffyko sat up and grabbed her damaged hat sadly, "You bastard!"

Buggy looked at the girl who was now bleeding from a cut above her eye, "How's that? Was I not supposed to scratch the little girl's face?" He mocked.

Luffyko looked down at her treasure holding back her tears, "You bastard, no one damages my lucky hat and walks away from it alive. This hat is my only treasure and anyone who so much as lays a finger on it is going to pay."

Nami had come back to check up on her and felt bad, "And I thought there was nothing that could faze her, but look at her she' getting so upset about a hat."

"It seems that hat has some history to it." Buggy commented.

"That's right."

"Is it really all that special?" Buggy asked as he threw a knife at her which she quickly dodged leaving her open "In that case you should protect it!" Buggy yelled as he had his disembodied hand to cut through it with the three knives taking it back to him. He watched as Luffyko tried to recover it and then laughed at her attempt that landed her on her stomach in the dirt. "How is this old tattered hat a treasure? Treasure refers to sparkling gold, silver, and jewels. Those reflect the owners worth. Do you really consider this old tattered hat a treasure? You need to grow up!"

Luffyko glared at him, "Shut up when Shanks gave me that I made a promise."

Buggy glared at the hat and threw it down, "So your telling me this used to be Shank's hat? No wonder it looked so familiar. He always wore it when I knew him."

"So you and Shank's were members of the same pirate crew?"

"Ya back when we were pirates in training. That damn detestable red haired bastard." He said as he smashed the hat.

Luffyko charged him, "Shanks is a much better man than you will ever be! You don't have the right to call him comrade! And don't you ever badmouth him again!"

"Time for my chop chop quick escape!" Buggy yelled as Luffyko slammed her fists into his body his floating head began to choke from the attack. He reattached his head.

"I don't want you to ever you to say Shank's name around me again."

"I can say whatever the hell I want about Shank's." He said as the girl began to pull on his face.

"Tell me what happened, where can I find him now?" She threw him down and looked at her hat, "Damn it, how dare you tear up my treasured straw hat."

"Do you really want to know? He is the one person I loathe. I will curse him all my life. For the rest of my life as long as there is breath in my body I will never forgive him."
