F-ckthesystem125: So glad you noticed. Well you don't have to wait any longer, as here's the next chapter. :)

dmr14wizkid: Well, I already stated this story contains LuNa, so...yeah, you don't need to ask for that, it's coming, don't you worry.

Stabboy: Thank you, I'm glad you thought so. And as for getting it out fast, like I said, not even I know when I will update, as it's all circumstantial. You're quite welcome. You shall wait no longer, as it is here! XP

ArturiusRex8: For the Zoro question, well kind of, yeah. Plus, I still feel like it was inevitable for Zoro to get himself into this situation, at least in this universe at least. I feel like he would have gotten himself into this situation no matter what time he came here, so...yeah that's about it. As for the Nami question, yes? Not exactly sure what you're asking, so...not sure how to answer. Finally, as for you not being sure what to think of the story, that's fine by me. I usually don't decide whether I'll read a story until around chapter seven or so, sometimes later, sometimes sooner, so it really doesn't bother me. Take your time, and if you don't find the story to your liking, I'm quite sorry, and I hope you find something that you like more. And I'd also like to thank you for even deciding to check it out in the first place. :)

midnightscar17: You'll find out soon, don't worry. As for why I don't do Lemons, there are two reasons, the first is that I suck at writing them, the second is that they aren't really my thing, which works out well for me. So yeah, there's why there won't be any Lemons in this story.

Tonlor: All in one sitting? Sounds like what I do when I read fan fiction. I'm so glad you seem to be enjoying the story. As for Zoro, I don't know many people who don't like him to at least some kind of degree, as he's just one of the best/coolest characters in the OP universe, at least in my opinion anyway. Hope this is soon enough for ya. :)

Alright now, it's time for the next chapter. Please read, enjoy and review.


Luffy was now marching through the streets, the determination in his eyes able to be seen by anyone who bothered to actually look. Coby and Rika were following behind him, having to run to do so, the former of them continuously trying to calm him down, despite him saying don't try and stop him, he still tried to do so however. He did this in hopes that if he could get him to come down from his high level of anger just a bit, he could at least convince him to agree to a stealthy approach when it came to busting Zoro out of the Marine base. However, the straw hat pirate wasn't having any of it, "Are these the kind of Marines you want to join Coby!?" He stopped, turned around and asked him. "Because if they aren't, then you can either sit back and take it...or stand up to them!"

Coby stopped in his tracks and blinked at those words, unsure of what to say, or what to do, but it was obvious the older teen wasn't expecting an answer, as he then looked to Rika, who looked fearful and was wringing her hands in an effort to relieve said fear, though it obviously wasn't helping. "But what are you going to do? Helmeppo's going to have you killed! Captain Morgan has executed people for a lot less than what you just did!"

The fierceness in the sixteen year old's eyes only increased as he said, "I'd like to see him try."

Then, before either younger party could object once more, he gave them a thumbs up, before turning back around and rushing to the Marine base.

The raven haired teen didn't stop running until he reached the wall, jumping easily over that and rushing to the post Zoro was tied to afterwards. Said man being asleep, but was quickly awoken as he felt someone begin trying to untie him. "Huh, wha? Luffy? What are you doing? I only have nine days left, remember?" He asked, sounding just a tad irritated.

As the hatless straw hat boy continued to fiddle with the ropes, he quickly explained to his green haired friend why he was wrong. "That stupid marine's bastard son lied! He's planning on having you executed tomorrow!"

"What? Dammit! Are you telling me I've been tied to this thing for three fricking weeks for no reason!? I'll get that bastard!"

The dark haired teenager nodded his head in agreement as he messed with the ropes, "That's what I was thinking."

That's when the bandanna and straw hat wearing man realized the ropes were getting tighter, not looser, "Hey, hey, Luffy! You're making the knots tighter numskull!"

Those words got the teenager to stop, standing up straight as he did so, scratching his head while saying, "What is it with these things? Zoro, is this some kind of special rope or something?"

"No! You just can't handle a knot to save your life! Everyone but you managed to figure that out after the bear incident! You know, when you were supposed to tie a basket of food to a branch in a tree to keep it away from the bear that was stalking us, and ended up tying YOURSELF TO THE GODDAMNED BEAR INSTEAD!" He shouted with heat, breathing a little heavily afterward, as he was a little exasperated, and just plain exhausted all around.

Luffy began rubbing the back of his head with his left hand, a tiny smirk crossing his face as he seemed to remember what his friend was talking about. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

Knowing he wouldn't get anywhere with Luffy, as he knew him well enough to know you never could, well he could, but not when he was starving to death and all around felt like shit, so he just shook his head and dropped the subject. "Look Luffy, just forget it. Go and find my swords, if you bring them to me, then I'll be able to cut myself free, no problem."

Luffy nodded his head once more at that, "Right, that's way easier than dealing with these stupid ropes."

With that he turned and ran off, in the wrong direction, before Zoro could say anything about this though, Luffy came skidding to a stop, before whirling around and throwing his arms out, stretching them until they were able to grab ahold of the roof. From there he took several steps back, stretching his arms out even more, before snapping towards his arms, sending him flying up towards the roof, doing so with a cry of, "Gum Gum...Rocket!"

As he did, it finally occurred to Zoro what he had forgotten to tell his younger friend, "Crap, he doesn't know that I use three swords!" He would have facepalmed if he were able to as he realized this.


Helmeppo was pacing about in his room, having a little meltdown, as two people had dared to harm him this day, and it was screwing with his head. "I don't understand, how could they do this to me!? I'm the son of Captain Morgan! No one dares to slight me, let alone hurt me! Daddy'll deal with them though, I know he will! I just have to wait until he gets back, and then they'll get what's coming to them!"

As he came to a stop, he saw out of his peripheral vision that his father had just passed him, being able to see this because he had left his door half open. Since that was the case, he quickly exited his room, forgetting to close the door as he did, and chased after his father, who was heading to the roof.

He didn't manage to catch up to him until they reached the roof, where twenty or so marines were trying to put up a statue of his dad, heaving it into place with ropes. "Daddy, somebody hit me!" Was the first thing out of his mouth once he had caught up though.

Morgan turned to look back at his son at that, looking him up an down for a moment, before sneering, "For wearing the purple suit, you more than deserved it."

Helmeppo was more than a little taken back by that, but managed to get over it, for some reason thinking his father had been joking. "That wasn't funny daddy! Now seriously, aren't you going to execute the person who hit me!? And then there's Zoro, he bit me, and he wouldn't let go, he was like a rabid animal! He needs to be put down as well! One of them outright struck me in public, and the other took a bite out of me, I mean, look at my hand!" He then raised his right hand, which had about ninety to ninety five percent of it covered in bandages. "You've never laid a finger on me before, why should they be able to!?" He finished with a yell.

Morgan had turned back around after speaking to his son, and hadn't turned to face him throughout everything he said, and that stayed that way, even as he began replying to him. "Do you have any remote idea as to why I've never hit you Helmeppo?"

That seemed to lighten the blonde's mood a little. "Is it because you think I'm great, like you?" He asked hopefully.

"No, it's because..." Then, without any warning, the older whitish blonde man whirled around, decking his son in the face with his left fist as he did, sending him to the floor of the roof, almost knocking him off the building as he did. "...You're a stupid fool, who isn't even worth hitting. You seemed to have gotten the wrong idea..." As he said this he began to take steps towards his son, causing the younger man to begin squealing in fear. This didn't last long though, as he used the wooden stub at the end of his axe hand to lift the younger blonde up by the collar of his suit, bringing them face to face, causing him to go silent as he grit his teeth, closed his eyes and looked away, scared of what was to come. "The only great one around here, is the man you call your father! And if you ever so much as entertain the thought of comparing yourself to me again, then you will be the one who is executed next!"

He then tossed his son back onto the rooftop, turning around once more as he spoke again, "Which reminds me, I heard a rat snuck into the crucifixion yard."

Seeing that as his way out of being harmed by his father, Helmeppo desperately clung to it, as he replied, "Yes, that's right, the little girl. But I-I had her dealt with."

"I hope that means killed." Morgan told him.

Helmeppo's eyes managed to widen even further, as they were already quite wide, at those words, "Wha? No, I-I didn't kill her, she's just a kid."

Not liking that answer, the marine captain pointed towards one of the marines that wasn't hoisting up his statue and gave him an order. "You there, go into town, find this girl, and kill her."

The soldier was understandably disbelieving of the words he had just heard. "Bu-but Sir, you can't be serious! I mean, she's just a little girl Sir!"

"I don't care if she's a child or not! Anyone who disobeys my orders, or goes against what I say, is a traitor. And therefor will be dealt with." The marine captain barked.

"No Sir, I-I just can't do it."

Morgan didn't looked please by that, not in the slightest, especially with the menacing way he began to walk towards the marine who had spoken these words. "Is that so? Then die traitor!" With that, once he was close enough, he beheaded the man with one swing of his axe hand, his head hitting the floor and rolling a couple feet, as blood began to spurt from his neck, and his body collapsed onto the roof.

Upon seeing this, any marine who wasn't pulling up the statue paled and took a step back, one or two of them even losing their lunches.

Helmeppo on the other hand, let out a somewhat girly shriek, his fear and shock apparent, stuttering this out after his scream ended. "Y-you j-just killed h-him!"

Morgan then proceeded to give a speech, two marines beginning to clean up the mess he had made as he did. "My strength is what I used to rise to the rank of captain, therefor I am stronger than all of you combined, and deserve this title of mine more than any of you ever could! Listen, in this world, titles are what matter, in fact, they are all that matters. That means by being the captain of this base, and the highest ranking officer, I am the most superior person as far as the eye can see. This means that I do everything right, and I can do nothing wrong. Am I, or am I not correct...well men!?"

All marines who weren't putting the statue into it's proper place, snapped to a salute and said the words that would keep them alive. "Sir, you are correct Sir!"

Morgan almost seemed to smile at that. "Good."

He then looked towards his statue, which was just one good heave ho from being fully erected, and spoke once more, "Let's put killing the girl on hold for now, as what's most important at the moment, is getting the greatest symbol of my unending authority put up for the world to behold, allowing everyone to see my greatness. It took years to complete, but here it is. Now, stand it up in one final pull men!"

With much effort, the marines managed to do just that, putting the big stone statue of the ugly marine captain up just the way he wanted it. However, said man didn't get to admire his statue for more than a few moments before his attention was on something else, more specifically, a boy who barely looked sixteen flying up above their heads.

As Luffy let go of the edge of the roof, he realized he had shot himself too far up, so quickly stretched his right arm to grab ahold of the edge he had held only a moment ago, so as to pull himself down onto the rooftop, doing so quite successfully.

Now firmly on his feet, he turned to face everyone that was on the roof, greeting them with wave, "Hi there!"

"Who the hell is this?" Morgan demanded.

"That's him! He's the one who punched me daddy!"

Luffy's smile fell from his face then, lowering his head a little, causing some strands of his dark hair to cover his eyes partially."You're this scum's father then? You're the one who has everyone executed?"

Sneering once more, Morgan readily confirmed that. "Indeed I am. As it is my right! For I am Marine Captain Axe-Hand Morgan, and am superior to all!"

"And Zoro? Are you going to execute him?"

"Why do you want to know? He your friend? Yes, for your information, he's next on the chopping block. And after that, I think I'll put you to death, as you're interrupting me. I wanted to enjoy the sight of my statue for another few moments before I executed him, but you've made it where I'll have to get back to work straight away, so perhaps instead of waiting, I'll just execute you and Zoro at the same time, how does that sound?"

Luffy raised his head to look into the marine captain's eyes then, the fierceness from before having returned. "You wanted to admire your statue!? You want to look at a stupid hunk of stone before killing my best friend!? The fact that you could say something like that...proves you're even worse than your stupid son! But if you want to look at the damn thing so much, then fine!"

With that said, Luffy turned to face the newly erected stone statue, before bringing his right arm back and shooting it forward, it stretching so as to allow him to reach his target. "Gum Gum Pistol!" As his fist collided with the head of the stone statue, it shattered into a hundred pieces, and as it did so, Luffy cried, his arm snapping back to it's original length as it did, "There, look at it! LOOK AT IT!"

Everyone on the roof, Morgan the only exception, stared slack-jawed at the statue, their eyes as wide as they could be, their disbelief quite evident.

Morgan was furious, proving so as he bellowed, "SEIZE THAT SUNUVA BITCH SO I CAN KILL HIM MYSELF!"

Before his subordinates could do as they were told, Luffy ran to the statue, jumped into the air, having to turn around in mid air so he could face it's back, and kicked it in it's upper back, though not hard enough to break it, but still hard enough to crack it and send it falling towards the marine captain and all his men, "SEIZE THIS YOU BASTARD!"

The marines quickly began to panic and scream, doing their best to run to the only door that led back into the building, and while they all made it there quick enough, and got the door open, only one or two of them had managed to squeeze through, as they had all gotten themselves stuck in the doorway because they had tried to go through it all at once. If they didn't get themselves inside soon, then it could end in their deaths. They didn't need to worry about this for long, as Luffy, who was still in the air, stretched his arms to the point where he could grab ahold of the sides of the doorway, and proceeded to rocket himself down to and through said doorway, grabbing a hold of Helmeppo as he did so, in doing so he rammed all of the marines through the doorway as well, the door being ripped off it's hinges as this happened.


Zoro had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on up there, hearing Luffy scream in anger twice, someone else scream, and a huge smashing noise, like a bunch of stone slamming into something, told him though that his rubber friend had gotten into trouble again. He didn't get to think on it for too long however, as the sight of someone climbing over the wall and coming towards him caught his attention.

Just as he realized it was the pink haired kid that had been with Luffy before, he stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes going wide with disbelief, "Wh-wha-what on Earth hap-happened!?"

Turning his head to where the glasses wearing boy was looking, he saw that the roof of the Marine base had caved in, how they didn't know, but there was a lot of gray dust coming from the floor that had been under the rooftop, it rising from the now ceilingless floor of the building. This only caused the green haired man to grin, "Way to go Luffy." Which of course caught Coby's attention.

"You-you're saying Luffy did that!?"

Looking back towards the young teen, he responded with, "I'd bet my life on it. Whatever he did must have had something to do with that ridiculous statue that Morgan guy put up of himself, cause it's gone too. Yep, definitely Luffy's work."

After the younger teen got ahold of himself, he quickly began to untie the swordsman. As he did he tried to explain why he was doing so, but he was cut off and told that the he already knew. About halfway through he noticed the blood on his face, so, gulping nervously as he did, he asked, "So, uh, who's blood is that?" He finished untying the swordsman then, the ropes falling uselessly to the ground and the eighteen year old beginning to stretch afterward.

"You really wanna know?" He asked after finishing getting all the cricks out of his body.

Coby paled slightly, "On second thought, I suppose I don't want to know."

Zoro shrugged then, wiping the blood away after doing so, turning to face the Marine base, though he didn't go towards it. He just stood there, crossed his arms and waited.

The pink haired teen was quick to ask, "What are you doing!? Aren't you going to help Luffy!?"

"He doesn't need my help. He'll be out here with my swords soon, and I don't want to miss him and spend the rest of the day trying to track him down, since he always gets lost."

The glasses wearing boy seemed confused at that, "But I was told you were the one who always gets lost."

Before the green haired man could respond to that, a call from their mutual friend got their attention, "Hey guys!"

They then looked up to see him sticking his head out a window, before stepping back and rocketing himself out of there and down to them, landing firmly on his feet beside Zoro, three swords strapped to his back. The two old friends high fived, before the younger of the two took the swords off his back and handed them to the older one, which he took and properly attached to his right hip. "Coby told me that you used three swords now, so I made sure to grab all of them."

"Glad he did, I was worried that you'd only grab two of them when you rocketed out of sight."

They were both smiling as they exchanged words, and items, as Zoro took the straw hat off of his head and placed it back where it belongs, on Luffy's head, which Coby couldn't help but find strange considering the situation. That's when Luffy said something that got the green haired man's smile to fall away, "Hey Zoro, isn't that Kuina's sword? She let you have it or something?"

The swordsman was silent at that for several moments, before saying, "I'll tell you about it later Luffy."

That was good enough for the straw hat teen, as his smile only brightened as he chirped, "Alright then."

Just then, the three teens eyes were pulled to the marine base as Morgan and some of the men that had been on the rooftop came stumbling out into the yard, most of them collapsing onto the ground, unconscious as they did. Leaving the marine captain as the only one standing, looking relatively unharmed, but extremely pissed. "You! I'll kill you! ALL OF YOU! No one defies Marine Captain Axe-Hand Morgan, NO ONE! YOU WILL ALL BE EXECUTED!"

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt, but my flashy self has some important business with the captain of this base." All eyes quickly went to who said this, to see someone who looked like a clown, smiling evilly, though cockiness was present in it as well.

Morgan didn't play games, and with how angry he was, it was only expected for him to raise his axe as he yelled, "Who the hell are you!? You wanna die too!?"

The clown pirate's grin only widened at those words, "You don't know who I am? Allow me to introduce myself then, I am Buggy the Clown, captain of the infamous Buggy Pirates and the flashiest person on the seas. And as for what I want, that would be your head Morgan."

The marine captain took a step forward then, his nostrils flaring as he screamed, "YOU WHAT!? YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH CLOWN!?"

Buggy didn't look the slightest bit intimidated, his evil smile still present, "You see, I'm getting ready to head to the Grand Line, however on my way there I happened by this little town of yours. And knowing of your reputation, I decided that I would take your head, so as to increase my own reputation. After all, it wouldn't do for anyone, no matter who it is, to not know the name of the great clown pirate Buggy. I mean, I am going to conquer the entire Grand Line after all!" With that he began to laugh hysterically, and somewhat maniacally.

A frown crossed Luffy's face at that, before he could object to the clown's claims however, Zoro put a hand on his shoulder, getting him to look behind him at the swordsman, where he shook his head, letting his younger friend know not to do what he was about to do, and while he wasn't happy about it, he listened to his brother and kept quiet...for now at least.

Morgan quickly began closing the distance between him and this pirate who had just shown up out of nowhere, his axe raised as he yelled, "SHUT UP AND DIE!"

He brought his axe down and cut through the clown, cutting him in half straight down the middle, the two halves falling to opposite sides, ending the fight before it could even begin.

Coby screamed at the top of his lungs as this happened.

Zoro seemed a little disappointed as he said, "Well, that ended quickly."

As Morgan turned to face the other three once more, Luffy said, "But there isn't any blood..." Not sounding so sure the battle was over.

Now Morgan may have been furious, however he could clearly understand that brat's point, so turned around, just in time to defend himself, blocking a strike from each of the two halves of Buggy, who were both standing, several daggers spread out between the middle of his fingers, using them like claws.

Seeing this caused Coby to scream once more.

Zoro's eyes widened somewhat, before he realized, "Oh, the guy must be a Devil Fruit user." His eyes returning to their normal state as he was no longer surprised in the slightest.

Morgan's teeth were grit as he spoke, "Another Devil Fruit user huh? No matter, I'll kill you too, regardless of whatever ability you might have!"

Both halves of Buggy smiled nastily, "You can try, but I ate the Chop Chop Fruit, so I can't ever be hurt by any type of blade, I'm a Chop Chop Man, or Splitting Man if you prefer."

Morgan growled at his words, before forcing the halves of Buggy back, them backing up a few feet, not stumbling though, and joining together, to make the man whole once more. No sooner had he become whole then did Morgan try for another swing of his axe, cleaving his head off this time. But just as before he was relatively unharmed, as his head fell to the side, but stopped mid air and began to levitate, rising a few feet, where he chuckled, before reattaching his head to his body. Not giving up on chopping this bastard up, Morgan tried for another axe slice, cutting him in half horizontally this time rather than vertically, separating his upper half from his lower half. Unfortunately for him, they once again rejoined, making the clown pirate whole, as he began to laugh once more. "You fool, don't you get it? Someone who uses any kind of cutting, cleaving, or just all around sharp weapon, is utterly useless against me!"

That's when the sound of a cannon shot rang through the air, only moments later a big red cannon ball passed over the four's heads, going straight for the Marine base. Once it collided with it, the building was engulfed in a large explosion, several large sized parts of the building sent flying, as smoke filled the area. After a few seconds, the building could be seen, as the smoke close to the ground drifted and faded, revealing the building to be nothing but a pile of rubble, the bodies of dozens of marines among said rubble.

Luffy and Zoro both remained passive at this, though their stances changed a little, while tears began to gather in Coby's eyes, the young teen running to the rubble to try and help them, even though he knew it was impossible for any of them to be alive. He couldn't help but think to himself, "All these people...just killed, gone in an instant."

Morgan grew even angrier, though only because that had been his base.

Buggy began to laugh manically and hysterically once more, doing so for several long moments, before proclaiming, "With the power of my Buggy Balls and my Devil Fruit ability, I'll have no problem conquering the Grand Line!"

This time Zoro didn't try to stop his brother, as he called out, "HEY, BIG NOSE!"

Buggy was filled with rage at those words, it showing in his eyes as they landed on the one who had called to him, a scrawny straw hat wearing teenager, "The hell did you just say to me!?" He screamed.

"I'm the one who's gonna conquer the Grand Line! And then, I'll become the Pirate King!" Luffy proclaimed with the utmost certainty.

"You dare claim such a thing!?" Buggy yelled, his anger rising even further at this point. "Die you insolent little punk! Chop Chop Cannon!" With that his right hand, daggers still in between his fingers, as well as his forearm, disconnected from his body and shot forward towards Luffy.

Luffy's eyes widened slightly as the half an arm came at him, but had enough sense and speed to dodge to the side before it hit him. He turned so his eyes could follow the hand, wondering what would happen to it, only to find it quickly coming back towards him, dodging to the side once more to avoid it as it did. As it turned and came back once more, Buggy and Luffy, the former having his back to her, and the latter focusing on the hand, which was also in the opposite direction of her, failed to notice as Nami snuck onto the scene, silently and quickly approaching the clown pirate from behind as she did. Coby also didn't notice her of course, as he was in the wreckage of the building trying to find survivors of the explosion.

Zoro and Morgan on the other hand did notice her.

"Nami? The hell are you doing here?" Zoro asked with a quirked brow.

"Now who the hell is this!?" Morgan shouted.

That of course got both Luffy's and Buggy's attention, the two turning to face the orange haired girl, who froze in place, her hand only inches from the map tucked in the clown pirate's sash, her eyes wide as she realized she was in trouble.

Buggy did not look pleased with the young sixteen year old, his eyes showing he planned to kill her quite clearly, as he hissed, "And just what do you think you're doing girly!?" The staff she had stashed on her person was pretty sturdy, it could hold up to certain blades even, she had made sure of that as she had paid good money for it, but with his Devil Fruit ability, he would kill her easily, and she knew it. Chuckling nervously, she looked ready to book it out of there everything considered.

As the straw hat teen finally caught the arm coming at him, he spoke up, a large smile on his face as he did, "Nami? You're here too? That's great! I'm so glad to see you! I've really missed you ya know!" As he finished speaking, he threw the disembodied half arm down, before proceeding to stomp on it, causing the big red nosed pirate to yelp in pain, his attention returning to his target as he did so. "Damn you, you little bastard! You'll pay for that!"

Morgan then came charging towards Nami and Buggy, his axe raised as he shouted, "What do you all think you're doing!? Desecrating my base!? Ignoring me as if I pose no threat!? Going against my authority!? YOU WILL ALL DIE FOR THIS!"

Before he could make it to them though, Luffy rushed over and intercepted him with strong right, knocking him flat out on the ground, some blood flying out of his mouth from the impact. "Would you just shut up about killing everyone already!? You're getting on my nerves!"

That's when everyone's attention was once more diverted, this time to the rubble, as some of it rose up with the dozen people that rose with it, before falling back down to the ground. There, having just stood up from the wreckage of the building, were the twelve prisoners who had been brought here. They were dressed in black and white striped clothes, were covered in soot, and some were bleeding, but none of them looked any worse for ware, and had obviously survived the explosion considering their state.

Coby was right next to them, so when one of them cried, "We're free, let's get out of here boys!" he was directly in the path of them, and was trampled by them as they rushed past him, actually going over him, having stamped him into the rubble, him crying out in pain as they did.

They then passed by Buggy and Nami, the former moving out of the way, the latter trying to but not getting far enough, as a few of them slammed into her and sent her tumbling to the ground, though thankfully not stepping on her. Since this was the case however, Luffy's eyes narrowed and he rushed towards them, coming to a quick stop in front of them, effectively cutting them off in their escape. "You guys think you can just trample all over my friends and get away with it!?"

He brought his arms back then, stretching them a few feet, before shooting them forward together, palms open, slamming them into some of the prisoners, knocking them into other prisoners, and knocking them all right back into the rubble, all of them grunting and or yelping in pain as this happened. "Gum Gum Bazooka!"

Seeing this, Buggy looked ready to strangle someone, "This punk has a Devil Fruit ability too!?"

All of the prisoners were groaning in a heap, slowly getting to their feet only moments later, all looking ready to kill the one who had just stopped their escape. As they did, Buggy began to laugh once more, speaking afterwards. "Looks like you're just pissing people off left and right kid, too bad for you."

He then looked towards the prisoners, "You want back at this scrawny bastard!? By all means, feel free to join in the slaughter I'm about to commence!"

The clown looked back towards the rubberman then, "My crew is guarding the docks, and they have more than a dozen Buggy Balls to spare, so you've no hope of escape. You'll just have to face your death like a man, you brat!"

As he finished stating this, Luffy glanced towards Zoro, their eyes making contact for only a moment, before the older of the two nodded his head, understanding the silent order right away. "You got it Captain." With that he ran past everyone, out of the crucifixion yard, and towards the docks

Bringing his disembodied half arm back to him, it reattached itself, before he pointed both hands at the dark haired sixteen year old. With his nasty smirk returning, Buggy cried, "Chop Chop Double Cannon!" His two hands, his forearms coming with them, then shot forward at Luffy, even faster than the single one had last time, forcing the straw hat pirate to leap backwards to avoid them, going right over the wall as he did so.

Buggy quickly followed behind, running after the scrawny teen, the prisoners reaching down and grabbing hold of blades some of the marines had been carrying when they collapsed outside, before letting out battle cries and following after the clown pirate to kill that bastard with the red vest.

This of course only left Nami and Coby, both on the ground at this point, but both getting to their feet.

Once Nami was back on her feet, she dusted her skirt off with her free hand, before letting out a heavy sigh. "Dang it, they saw me, and even worse I didn't even get my hands on that damn map!" She stamped her foot in frustration as she said this.

As she did this, she failed to notice Morgan rising to his feet, his eyes still filled with fury, and his axe hand itching to be swung. However she did hear it when he raised said axe hand, and turning around to face him, she gasped and jumped back, barely managing to avoid the sharp thing as it came down, hitting the ground where she had just been a moment ago.
