Episode 8: Whose the victor, devil fruit showdown

I do not own the sonic characters; they belong to Sega, and the enemies of Emeralds crew, and some of his crew members belong to Toei animation, I respect both Sega and Toei animation, I only own Emerald the hedgehog and Sarah the hedgehog (who may I remind you is not in the first few seasons as she takes the place of leader of the all-female island Amazon lily, the leader being Boa Hancock).

All the Buggy pirates are knocked out, Shadow is sleeping and Amy is watching the fight from behind a corner while Emerald is standing Opposing Buggy "In all my life no one has ever pissed me of as much as Shanks" Buggy said standing in front of Emerald "He stole countless riches from me and I can say whatever the hell I want about him, I have that right!"

-Buggy's past (Flashback)-

They (Buggy and Shanks) are arguing about which pole is colder. "Knock it off you two, no one cares which pole is colder" the captain says standing behind them and punching them both. "If you want to know so badly then why don't you go find out yourselves."

"ENEMY SHIP TO THE north, north east" the guy in the crow's nest called.

"Good, I can't wait to do a spot of plundering" Buggy says with a grin.

"You sure seem happy"

"Of course I am, enemy ships are like floating treasure chests" Buggy explains "It's only natural to raid them am I wrong?"

"Huh, well, that's half true"

"You're weak, you and everyone else here just doesn't have the pirates natural thirst for treasure" Buggy teases. "You don't even know what it means to be a pirate." Everyone then starts to board the ship, as Buggy kills one of them he notices a scrap of paper tucked in his shirt. He grabs the sheet of paper and looks at it "A treasure map?" he then takes the map and tucks it in his shirt then continues fighting.

-Later that night-

Buggy looks at his new map outside while everyone else is inside celebrating when Shanks comes up and scares the crap out of him "Hey buggy aren't you going to join us, we found some really cool stuff"

"It's no map; I don't have anything, now go away!"

"What?"

"Oh, nothing" Buggy allows Shanks to join him "So you said you were leaving some time right?"

"Yea, get my own crew and see the world"

"You do that, I do admire your skills in combat though, if you weren't such a softie, I'd let you join my crew"

"I'd turn down anyway"

"What do you mean by that?"

"We have completely different opinions on life, so we should follow our own paths, it's what pirates do."

"You think you're so smart when it comes to pirates, just remember, if we meet on the sea, we'd have to fight to the death"

"Yea" Shanks says with a short laugh. "Pirates do that as well"

"You don't make any sense" Buggy said looking towards Shanks "Anyway you said something about finding some interesting stuff"

"Yea, the captain apparently found a devil fruit"

"Devil fruit?" Shanks then explains the powers of the devil fruit but you lose your ability to swim. "You'd have to be stupid to eat one of those 'if I can't swim I can't get my treasure'"

"Yea, but still I'll bet you can sell one of those for at least 100 000 000 berries (Berries are pirate currency referring to gold)"

"Yea, WAIT WHAT"

-The next day-

"I BUGGY THE PIRATE APPRENTICE CLOWN WILL NOW DEVOUR THIS DEVIL FRUIT" Buggy called standing atop a cabin on the pirate ship.

"Kids huh, never considering the consequences" someone muttered from below at the same time Buggy ate the devil fruit. "Do you feel any different up there Buggy?"

"No, not really"

"Could it be a fake?" at this Buggy gives a small smirk.

-Later that night-

"That went according to plan; I can't believe I managed to trick them so easily." Buggy said looking down at the real devil fruit in his hands "Now with the money I get from selling this devil fruit and finding the sunken treasure I can easily form my own crew, now to jump ship before I get found out" just then Shanks appears behind him scaring him and he hides the devil fruit in his mouth. "Oh, it's you don't scare me like that"

"Sorry, just wanted to see where you were" Shanks says walking off "And don't make the cook angry from stealing too much from the kitchen"

'Phew that was close' Buggy thought to himself as shanks returns startling him again.

"Almost forgot captain told me to tell you…" Shanks started as Buggy accidentally swallowed the devil fruit making him go silent.

"YOU DUMBASS" Buggy calls grabbing shanks "WHY ME, WHY, WHY, WHY?"

"Hey what's that piece of paper?"

"Huh, OH NO MY MAP" Buggy calls as he jumped in to grab the map and when he hits the water he sinks 'This is it then' Buggy thinks as he sinks.

"Buggy, BUGGY COME ON WHY ARENT YOU SWIMMING" Shanks called from above as he remember that Buggy supposedly ate a devil fruit earlier in the day "I'M COMING BUGGY" Shanks then jumps in after Buggy.

-End flash back-

"To this day, I still have not forgiven that bastard Shanks" Buggy says glaring at Emerald.

"So… you're saying that Shanks saved your life and you're not grateful?"

"DUMBASS THAT'S NOT THE POINT, THE POINT IS BECAUSE OF HIM I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY TREASURE" Buggy explained annoyed that Emerald didn't pick up on that "But then I saw a silver lining, if I couldn't get my under water treasure then I'd just steal everything I could on dry land" Buggy's upper body then separates "And anyone who tries to steal that is done for" he turns to Amy "NOW TIME TO DIE AMY" His upper body then flies at Amy.

"Oh, shit, my cover is blown" Amy states as she makes a run for it while carrying the hefty bag full of treasure. However Buggy gains on her so she braces for the knifes but he stops, she looks and sees an expression of pain on his face then looks to see Emeralds foot come in direct contact with Buggy's crotch.

"My balls, you bastard that was a cheap shot" Buggy exclaims in pain as he falls to the floor.

"We're not done yet Buggy" Emerald says.

-Meanwhile at the villagers camp outside town-

"What's taking so long" a villager says checking his pocket watch "The mayor's never been gone this long before.

"It sounded like there was a battle going on, there's been more cannon fire than usual" a female implied.

"Ok then, I'm going to check it out, you lot wait here"

"I'm coming" another added

"No, it's far too dangerous"

"Which is exactly why you will need our help, what kind of citizens are we if we don't help"

"Ok then, it's settled"

"We all go"

-Back at the fight-

"Amy, you better drop that treasure and get out of here, next time he might just kill you" Emerald says with Buggy still on the floor

"NO WAY" Amy called "DROP AND GO? WHY SHOULD I LEAVE MY TREASURE BEHIND?"

"Did you just call it your treasure?" Buggy groaned.

"That's right; I stole this treasure from a really annoying pirate so this makes it my treasure!"

"Ah, that makes sense" Emerald calls.

"Just because you stole my treasure doesn't make it your you dirty brat, how were you raised"

"Please, I'm not going to let a criminal lecture me that's bullshit"

"What was that?"

"Please, the day I get taught by you is the day I stop being a thief" Amy said as she flipped him off.

"Prepare to die Amy because here comes, CHOP, CHOP, FESTIVAL" at this Buggy's body breaks into even smaller pieces, and they fly to him, "Try to save her now rubber boy"

"Damnit" just then Emerald sees Buggy's feet walking wast. "Huh?"

"AMY, GIVE MY TREASURE BACK" Buggy calls as the chase begins again. Emerald then picks up one of Buggy's feet and takes his shoe off "What?" Emerald then starts tickling his feet making Amy scream at his maniacal laugh. Emerald then pinches Buggy's foot making him pull a face in pain.

"See how you like some of this" Emerald calls as he slams Buggy's foot into the ground making him scream in pain.

"DAMNIT KNOCK IT OFF YOU CHEAP BASTARD"

"No you knock it off" Amy calls as she makes the bag of treasure hit Buggy who catches it.

"Thanks for my treasure Amy"

"LET GO"

"NO YOU LET GO, THIS IS MY TREASURE" soon Buggy's hands rise with knifes as Emerald runs towards them. "NOW DIE"

"I'VE TOLD YOU, WE'RE NOT DONE YET" Emerald calls as he kicks Buggy's face into the bag of treasure sending him, and the now ripped bag of gold and jewels flying and grinding along the ground.

"Thanks, I owe you one"

"No worries, oh yea the map"

"The treasure" they look in the direction of the scattered gold and valuables and see Buggy's head floating.

"You will pay for that"

"He's still alive"

"Shut up now for my pay back, REASSEMBLE CHOP, CHOP PARTS" Buggy's parts head back towards him only most of them were tied up and stolen by Amy, so he as basically just a head with hands and feet.

"Looking for these, Buggy?" Amy says standing on top of Buggy's spare parts.

"MY PARTS"

"YEA, ALRIGHT" Emerald calls as he stretched his arms back.

"HOLD ON NOW, WAIT STOP" Buggy called trying to convince Emerald to stop.

"Bonvoyage Buggy, NOW GUM, GUM"

"STOP!"

"BAZOOKA" Emerald called as his arms launched forward slogged Buggy and sent him flying "YEA, I WON" he then starts walking towards his tattered hat.

"Sorry about your hat"

"It's ok, it's still wearable, plus I got Buggy out of here so I'm happy" at this Amy has a flash back about when Emerald flipped out over the hat.

"If you want, I can fix it"

"Say what?"

"Forget it, here" Amy said holding a bag to Emerald "I split this into two bags, so carry one, it's too heavy"

"That's a lot of treasure"

"Yep, I bet this is worth around 10 million berries" Amy said giving him the chart.

"You're giving it to me?"

"You saved my life"

"Does this mean you're joining my crew?"

"No, I've told you that; however, hanging around you could turn in some hefty profit, so I'll join for now" Emerald then walks over to Shadow.

"Shadow we're leaving" Shadow then wakes up slowly.

"Everything taken care of?"

"Yep, we even got a navigator" Emerald gestures to Amy.

"Whatever, I feel light headed"

"Duh, it's always something with you two"

"What did I do?"

"YOU'RE THE WORST ONE HERE" Just then the villagers walk by and see the old mayor unconscious on the ground.

"Did the pirates do this to you?" one asks.

"No I kicked the old guy's ass" Emerald states calmly.

"IDIOT, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT" Amy yells.

"It's true"

"So why'd you do this to our mayor"

'We can't let them know we're pirates' Amy thought.

"We're pirates" Emerald states as Amy passes out and Shadow bursts out laughing.

"JUST AS WE THOUGHT"

"So what now? They don't seem to be in the mood for talking Shadow asked as Emerald grinned.

"RUN" Emerald picked up Shadow and ran with Amy. They soon see an alley "Take the alley" Emerald called as he turned

"You could've given me more warning you know" Amy called turning, and as she did, the three saw Shushu "Shushu?"

"Doggy?" they jump over him at the same time the villagers turn, Shushu then barks at the villagers making them scared "THANKS DOGGY" Emerald calls.

-At the shore line-

"WOW, IS THIS YOUR BOAT?" Emerald asks astounded with Shadow still over his shoulder.

"It's nothing special, I stole it from some dumbass pirates a while back" Amy explained.

"That's a sharp tongue you got there" a voice says as three pirates jumped out.

"Oh hey" Amy says sweat dropping.

"Wow, you know these guys?"

"Yea, sort of"

"Yea, we were destined to meet, so these are your friends, I guess we'll have to deal with them as well" one of the pirates walks over and wakes up Shadow not realising who he was. "Hey wake up; it's time for your medicine" Shadow lifts his head up makes him scream and run off.

-Back in town-

"Hey look, the mayor's waking up" the mayor slowly regains consciousness "That's a relief, so what happened?"

"Where are the kids?" the mayor asked

"Huh? You mean the pirates; they ran off, that will teach them for destroying our town and hurting our mayor."

"JUST SHUT UP" this makes everyone go silent "Only I have the right to complain about them"

"Why are you defending them?"

"How dare they treat a senior like that, where'd they go"

"They went towards the beach"

"I have a few words I want to say to them" the mayor finishes as he takes off his body armour.

-At the beach the straw hats have just departed-

"Alright let's set sail" Emerald called in their boat with Amy in her boat.

"You know your boat has buggy's mark on it right?" Shadow asks Amy.

"Well this did belong to them, do you think I should change it" Amy responds.

"HEY WAIT" The mayor called from the dock 'damn you young ones' he repeats in his mind "THANKS"

"NO PROBLEM" Emerald calls back

'I was ready to die' the mayor thinks as he realises one of the two bags of treasure sitting there on the dock.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE TREASURE" Amy yells. "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE LEFT IT ON THE ISLAND"

"Yea, why?"

"THAT WAS WORTH 5 000 000 BERRIES"

"They'll need that to rebuild their village"

"BUT THAT WAS MY TREASURE YOU BASTARD" Amy grabs Emeralds head and shoves it in the water "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO STEAL THAT?"

"Stop, I can't swim" Emerald says between breaths.

"THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA" Shadow just laughs in the back ground while they argue.

-On a distant island

A figure with a marijuana hairdo walks out.
