Before we begin, I want to make something clear, the arcs like this one will be in two parts, the ones that are long like Arlong Park will be around three or four chapters. With that said, enjoy the chapter!

Enter Nami; the Cat Burglar, and Buggy the Clown; the joke of a pirate!

"...So let me guess this straight; he wants to be King of the Pirates?"

"Umu."

"And he plans to sail all the seas to find it."

"Yep."

"Okay…So, explain to me WHY DOESN'T HE KNOWS HOW TO FUCKING NAVIGATE?!"

Zoro yelled while pointing at the idiotic boy that was on the ground holding his stomach. "I'm soooooo hungry."

"He's one of those who uses instincts and brawns," Seth says as he slumps against the side.

"Shishishi! That's right!" Luffy laughs out, "Besides, you're like me, hunting pirates and walking around randomly." he points at the swordsman.

Zoro facepalm, "Okay, first of all, I'm not wandering around to hunt pirates all the time; Second I was looking for a man, but couldn't find my way back home."

"Oh, you got lost?" Luffy asked.

"I DID NOT GET LOST!" Zoro shouted.

"Sounds more like you got lost," Seth says.

"I DIDN'T!"

*Groooooooowl~*

Three stomachs escape from the three of them before they lose the will to speak up.

"So hungryyyyyyy." Luffy moans out.

"Oh jeez, you don't say," Seth says sarcastically, "I wonder whose fault is that for eating all of our food more than three hours ago?" he asks.

"Did I seriously choose to follow this idiot?" Zoro asked before looking at Seth, "Why did you choose to join him?"

The auburn boy stood silent for a moment before answering, "Because our dreams are in the same place."

Zoro raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"...One Piece is the world's greatest fortune that Gol Roger had to offer when he died," Seth made a smile, "I meet a guy that claimed to have known the Pirate King's crew and became good friends with them," he looks up into the sky. "He told me something interesting." Zoro pays attention to him and Luffy also pays attention with a wide smile, "He said that protecting the One Piece was the 'King Beasts of all Seas'; the most dangerous and powerful animal in the world…Even Roger himself couldn't defeat it alone."

"Wait what?" Zoro asked in shock, "A beast that not even Roger himself couldn't defeat? That's new."

"I know right!" Luffy said like a little kid. "That must have been one scary monster!"

"Anyway, to make sure he was telling the truth, he had a nasty scar on the back," Seth says as he summoned his lion arm. "It was like a deep gash, but something impossible to be alive from!" he motioned his hand in a slash. "He said that 'Death came to visit him' at that time."

"Hooo, this beast must be strong for someone to say death came to visit him," Zoro says with interest.

"Tell me about it, anyway, he said that after Roger and his crew defeated, the monster acknowledged his strength and followed him for quite a while…until the day before Roger got captured." Seth look out at the ocean, "The monster was angry that it failed to protect the man who defeated him and began terrorizing anything on his way, for three years, people fear it, dub him with the title from before, but thankfully, someone stopped him on his path, yelling out and loud;

"You may have failed to protect your captain! But, you still can protect what he left behind! Protected with all your might until someone worthy defeats you again!"

"At those words, the monster stopped his rampage and disappeared, never to be seen again, it says that he roams through the waters where One Piece is." Seth finished explaining.

"And you plan to find it?" Zoro asked him.

"No just find it! Beat him!" Luffy answers Zoro's question, making the swordsman's eyes widened.

Seth chuckles as he explains, "Luffy is right, if I beat him up, I will be the 'King Beasts of all Seas', the title of the strongest monster in all seas."

The green-haired swordsman hums amused, "I see…But, why do you want to become that?"

Seth stood silent for a few minutes before he placed his hand on the yellow pendant in his neck, "Because is my dream…and my promise to a dear friend."

Zoro chuckles in understanding, "I guess I'm not the only one that thinks like that…but I have to ask," he says with a serious tone. "Do you truly think that monster is real? It could be that he was just telling you the story to screw you?"

"What?!" Luffy shouts in shock, "You mean there isn't an animal like that?!"

"I never said that you idiot!" Zoro shouted back at him.

Seth chuckled at him, "You're right Zoro," he returned his hand to his original form. "Maybe that man was just messing with me…But, you know what they say; "A legend is only a legend until someone proves it's real."

Zoro stood silent before he sighs, "I guess you have a point there," he says as he rests back. He suddenly noticed something in the sky, "Hey look, a bird!"

The other two quickly snap their heads up. Seeing the bird.

"No! Dinner!" Luffy shouted before stretching his arms to the wooden sail, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" He shot right into the sky, directly at the bird.

"Okay," Seth stood up and grabbed an oar, "It's time to work Zoro."

"Huh? Why?" The swordsman asked before looking at Luffy and noticed two things.

One, Luffy wasn't going down.

Two, he was flying away.

"...Oh."

"At the count of three, we do it," Seth says as Zoro picks an oar as well.

"Sounds good," he answers.

"Okay," they both took deep breaths before Seth began, "1…2...3…"

"THAT IDIOT!"

Both boys began to row like mad while following their captain. They row, and row, and row until-

"Help us! Stop the boat!" Someone screamed out. Both pirates turn to see three men floating in the ocean, desperately trying to not drown.

"We have some floating barrels in the water, what do we do?!" Seth asked.

"Oy! We can't stop, so grab a hold!" Zoro shouted at the three men.

"WHAT?!" the three of them yelled as the boat passed by and they grabbed hold of it.

"Hooo, you guys have great climbing skills." Zoro comments on them.

"YOU TWO WERE TRYING TO LEFT US TO DROWN?!" they yelled before taking some weapons out. "Stop the ship! We are the Buggy Pirates!"

Zoro and Seth stop rowing. They look at the pirates and their weapons with blank expressions. Then, they look at each other before nodding.

"Hehehehe, we are so sorry! We didn't know that you were Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro!" says one of the pirates as he was covered in bruises, along with his friends as they were rowing the boat with goofy smiles.

"Thanks to you morons, we lost track of our friend," Zoro says as he rests against the boat while Seth is on the top of the sail. "Why the hell were you guys on the sea anyway?" he asked them.

"Ah, right! It was all that bitch fault!" one of them shouted.

They began explaining how they were coming back from raiding a ship before they spotted another boat with a girl in it. She had offered them the treasure from the chest in her boat in exchange for food and water. They boarded her boat to find it empty while the girl had taken their boat full of treasure, leaving them at the mercy of a storm that she predicted.

"She predicted the weather?" Seth asked them in curiosity and disbelief.

"Yeah, and now we're in big trouble!" one of the pirates said. "If we return to Captain Buggy empty-handed, we're dead!"

"Buggy?" Zoro asked.

"You mean you've never heard of Captain Buggy, the clown pirate?!" another asked. "He's a monster who's eaten the Devil Fruit!"

"Is that so?" Zoro asked as he turned to the auburn boy, "We could have someone like her on the crew to help us."

"I was thinking the same thing," Seth let go of the pool and landed next to him, "Anyway, I luckily picked up that idiot's scent, we should be there in less than ten minutes."

"Heh, guess having an animal soul inside has its perks," Zoro said. "Oy! Row faster!" he yells at the pirates.

"Sir, yes sir!" They commenced rowing like madmen.

In less than six minutes, they notice land in front. "Land Ho!" Seth yelled as the pirates began to slow down. When they reached it, the pirates were breathing heavily before they collapsed on the floor unconscious.

"Alright, we are here!" Seth jumps off the boat, followed by Zoro. "Now then, Luffy is somewhere in this town."

The green swordsman looked around the town, "Are you sure he is here?"

Seth tapped his nose, "The nose doesn't lie to me." he says-

Booooooom!

Before an explosion went through the city. "...And I'll be surprised if that explosion doesn't have anything to do with him."

"...Point taken." Zoro said before he and the lion boy began sprinting where the explosion came from.

…

..

.

('Why…Why this had to happen?!') an orange-haired girl shouted in her head. She was standing in front of a cannon that was pointing directly at a familiar straw hat in a cage.

Long story short, this girl captured Luffy after she managed to convince him to help her up. She then said that she was 'betraying' his former boss and wanted to join Buggy's crew. The plan was that she would make all the pirates drunk, steal their treasure, and the map of the Grand Line. And maybe, help Luffy get out.

You see, this girl hates pirates for some reason…you know why, so I'm skipping that.

But then, things went sour when Buggy, a man with a red clown nose, makeup, and orange captain hat and coat, demanded Luffy's flashy execution right away with one of his 'Special Buggy Ball'. A demonstration, imagine Iron Man's Unibeam, but bigger and destroying houses into nothing, leaving a trail behind.

When the girl saw that, her heart stopped in fear right there. If she shoots that she'll become worse than a pirate. And even if Luffy was one (he told him himself) he did save her from those pirates chasing her.

"Do it Nami! Blast him into pieces!" shout Buggy as he and his man laugh.

The girl named Nami began to shake, she can't kill someone. Luffy, noticing this, smirk at her. "Looks like your doubting," Nami hears the straw hat boy talk, "This is what happens when you face pirates with a weak amount of determination."

Nami looked at him with a forced smile. "What? To kill someone, even a pirate, like it's nothing?"

"No..." Luffy gives her a determined f]ace, "Is to be ready to risk your life, no matter what." Those words shock Nami a lot.

Suddenly, one of Buggy's pirates came up to her and grabbed the matches. "Quit messing around and stop spoiling the fun! Let me do it!" He said, beginning to light the match.

In a quick moment, Nami reached the three pieces of her staff that were hidden on her thigh and clicked them together and slammed the pirate into the ground, knocking him out cold.

Buggy's mouth fell to the floor before glaring hard at her, "NAMI! I gave you the honor of being able to light the cannon and you betray me?!"

Luffy grinned. "So you're saving me now?!"

Nami bit her lip in anger at what she had just done. "Shut up, idiot! I did that because I don't want to kill anyone, even a no-good pirate like you. I don't want to become anything like an evil pirate!" She yelled. She grit her teeth angrily, "Pirates stole the life of someone precious to me. I hate pirates more than anything!"

"Ah, so that's why you don't like pirates." Luffy nods his head in understatement before he saw... "Ah! The fuse is on!"

Nami turned back to see that the fuse was on! ('Crap! It is on!')

"Everyone, kill that woman painfully!" Buggy shouted to his men as they all ran towards Nami with their swords drawn.

The orange woman deflected a swing of a pirate's sword and narrowly avoided another one. She ducked low and swept one of the pirate's legs, causing him to fall to the ground. Two more pirates charge at her from behind, she makes a swing, but they dodge it, making her feel despair.

"Ha! We got you-" before the pirate could talk, a spinning object crashed into them, sending them right back at the crew.

"Huh?" Nami only said as the spinning object landed in front of her.

It was a young auburn-haired boy wearing black clothes and golden lines. His hair was long and most shocking of all, he had two lion arms, two lion ears and a long auburn tail with a fluffy end. After witnessing that, Nami thought only one thing…

('A cute cat man!?') she yells with blush appearing on her cheeks.

"It would appear I have found the trickster." Seth says as he turns to look at her, "But never thought it was you." Nami eyes widened at seeing his light-blue eyes.

('Is him! The guy that I saw on the boat with that boy!') she thought, not noticing the three pirates rushing at her from behind. However, they were stopped by two sheathed swords.

"Seriously? They need this much to kill one girl?" Zoro growled.

"Zoro! Seth!" Luffy beamed at them as he bites the cage.

The moss haired swordsman turns to him, "Is this your idea of fun?! You get captured by a bird, get carried away, and now you're in a cage!?"

"We don't have time for this!" Seth shouts as he stands next to the cannon and flips around, pointing it at the Buggy pirates.

"AAAAAAAAAH! Don't point this way!" Buggy and his crew shout in fear as the light on the cannon ends and the Buggy cannonball quickly fires out of the cannon, demolishing all that was in its path.

Nami stood in complete shock at what she just witnessed, "Zoro, help here!" She turns to the side to see both Seth and Zoro picking the cage that held Luffy. "Oi, Lady!" she hears him call her.

"Y-Yes!?" she quickly asked him.

"If you want to live, I suggest you get moving. These guys are going after us any time soon." Seth says, his ears twitching.

"Actually! She is our navigator!" Luffy clarifies out.

"No, I'm not!" Nami shouts at him.

"Whatever! Let's get out of here!" Zoro yells as they move out.

…

..

.

The four of them were far away from Buggy and the others, they stopped in the middle of the street. "Okay, this is enough," Zoro said. Both him and Seth drop the cage down before slumping on the ground. "Damn…I'm tired," said Zoro.

"Tell me about it," Seth says as his stomach grumbles and his body goes back to its original form, "I don't have the energy to move anymore."

"Stupid cage, if only I could break away from it!" Luffy grumbles as he tries to get out of the cage.

"You guys are seriously dumb, you know?" Nami says with a deadpan face.

"Hey!" Zoro yells at her, scaring the poor girl a little, "Try to fight without food for hours!"

"Take it easy Zoro," Seth says as he slumps his back against a wall, "It's not good to talk with little strength."

"W-Wait a minute," said Nami as she pointed at the moss haired man, "Did you just say Zoro!? As in the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro?!" she asked with widened eyes. Seth nods at her, "Why is a Pirate Hunter helping a pirate?!" she asked the man himself.

"I quit being a pirate hunter…Anyway, so you're our navigator?" Zoro asked her.

Nami turned her head away, "Tch! No, I'm not, I refuse to be a pirate." she says with such disgust.

"Then why were you defending this idiot?" Seth asked as he placed himself on top of Luffy's cage.

"Because I wasn't going to kill anyone! The plan was that I give him to Buggy, steal all their treasures when they were drunk enough to pass out and get out of there!" she explained to them.

Seth stood silent before he pointed below him, "So you planned to leave him there?"

Nami twitched at his question, "N-No! I did plan on letting him out!" she says.

"She hates pirates because they took away someone important," Luffy stated, causing Nami to jerk at his bluntness.

Seth stood silent before smiling at her, "...All right then." he said before looking at the cage. "Now then…"

('Did he…just accept my reason?') Nami thought in disbelief as he watched the lion boy use his furry auburn hands to open the cage.

He tries to break them, but his strength is failing him, "Gah, is not used," Seth says as he lets go of the top part, "I need nutrition on my veins to at least open it."

"Wow! You suck Seth!" Luffy laughs out. "Why didn't you eat anything?"

"Whose fault was that?!" Zoro and Seth shout at him. They continue to shout at each other while the thief looks at them in disbelief.

"You guys are idiots," she commented before taking out something and throwing it at the ground in front of them, "Here, consider my thanks for the saved."

The three boys look down, "The cage's key!" Luffy beams in happiness.

"Heh, guess that our job was all for something," Zoro said as he kneels to grab the key.

Only for a dog to suddenly appear from nowhere, grabbed it, and swallowed it.

*Gahkon*

Four jaws fell to the ground as eight eyes bloodshot in the direction of the dog. There was silence in the air before Luffy lost it. "YOU STUPID DOG, WHAT THE HELL D'YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Luffy shouted as he began to choke the poor animal. "SPIT IT OUT!"

"Oi, you people! What are you doing to Chu Chu!?" Suddenly, an elderly male voice spoke up, causing the four of them to turn to see an elderly man with a rusty armor and spear.

(After some explanation)

"I see…" the old man says as he understood the situation. He then went to his house and returned with a bowl of dog food and some breadsticks and water. "Please forgive Chu Chu, it is my fault for not coming quickly to feed him." the old man bows for forgiveness. "Accept this food as an apology." Both Seth and Zoro thank the old man before they dug in.

"Hey! Where's my share?!" Luffy pouts before a breadstick hits his face.

Nami sighs at them, all three of them act like idiots, even the cute auburn boy. She blushes at that thought before looking at the old man. "So, who are you, sir?"

The man introduced himself, "My name is Bloodle, I'm the mayor of this town," he placed the bowl in front of Chu Chu who chows down on it. "After Buggy raided this town, my people and I moved outside the town to be safe from them."

"Why is this dog not with the rest of you?" Nami asked the mayor.

"You see, Chu Chu's my friend's dog. He's protecting his owner's shop, this place is filled with cherished memories for the two." Boodle tells them as he kneels to inspect the dog for any injuries, "Look at these wounds. They're definitely from fighting with those pirates and protecting this store."

"But then, no matter how precious it is, what kind of thing is making a dog guard a store with pirates as the enemy. The store owner is with the other people at the shelter, right?" Nami asked, shocked that the dog was alone here. At that time, the pirate trio finished their meal.

Boodle sighs as he lighted his pipe. "No…that guy…he's already gone to the next world." He muttered, noticing the dog suddenly stop eating. "Three months ago he was hospitalized and then…well you can figure out the rest for yourself."

The four of them stood silent at his words before Nami asked, "Then, maybe he is waiting for him to return?" she suggests.

"No," she turns to see Seth looking at the dog, "Those eyes he has…They aren't waiting; they are protecting."

Boodle blew smoke out of his mouth, "That's right boy…Chu Chu is a smart boy, he already knows his owner is gone…But his owner loved this shop so much, he's willing to protect this place at any cost."

('Heh! I can respect that.') Seth commented on his head as he got off the cage and walked in front of the dog. He went to his level, "Chu Chu…You have my full respect."

"Arf!" the dog barked back at him, in a happy tone.

"Shishishi! I like this dog! He has spirit!" Luffy yelled, beaming a smile at him.

"That goes to show how much one must be willing to protect what's important to them. He has courage right inside his body." Zoro says, smiling at him as well.

Nami was surprised at their tone. She has never seen pirates talk about respect and protect, a small smile appears on her face. ('Maybe…Maybe they aren't as bad as I thought first…')

*Rooooooooar!*

A sudden roar surprised the group, "W-w-what was that?!" Nami asked in fear.

Boodle began sweating bullets as he recognized that particular roar. "T-That is that guy! The Beast Tamer, Mohji! Runaway!" He shouted in fright, hightailing it out of there with Nami right behind him.

Luffy, who was still in the cage, Zoro and Seth stood in their place, Zoro standing up from the ground.

"Hey…That sounds like a lion's roar." Said Seth.

"Really?" Asked Zoro. Moments later, a man riding a giant lion with light-purple mane began to come close to them. "Well I will be damn, that was a lion," Zoro commented.

Seth went to the cage they brought with them, now that he has strength, he grabs the bars and bent them into a hole.

"Woohoo! I'm free!" Luffy yells in joy as he gets out of the cage.

"Luffy, Zoro, leave this to me." Said Seth.

"You sure?" Zoro asked him in which he nodded.

"Alright Seth, kick his ass!" Luffy beams out at the same time the lion reaches them.

"Hehehe, I have found the straw hat boy and two of his friends," the man riding the lion says, "I'm Captain Buggy's first mate, Mohji!" he introduced himself. "Captain Buggy is pretty mad. You guys have committed a pretty serious crime," he says with a dark tone. "As his first mate, I will bring your head to…Wait."

He finally noticed that only Seth was present, both Luffy and Zoro were far away from them.

Taking the wrong though, Mohji began to chuckle, "Looks like your friends just ditch you, poor thing…."

Seth cracks his neck, "You're right, they ditch me because they don't want to be in front of a weirdo with a cos-play hair." That statement shocked the man.

"Cos-play?! This is the hair that I was born with, asshole!" Mohji yelled while pointing at his hair.

"That's even worse!" Seth yell back, "Was your father a lion and one night found a drunken woman, decide to bend her over and put his long stick in her, and then nine months later, the woman came to him and give you to him saying that this was his disgraced and he raise you until you were old enough to take care of yourself and ditch you, and now you're mad at him so you train a lot until the day you meet him so that you can beat the shit out of him and when he dies he'll say; You're my disgrace'?"

Mohji and his lion's jaw fell, and back on the background, you could see Luffy rolling on the floor dying of laughter and Zoro trying to hold his laughter. The beast's tamer face turned red in fury.

"You fucking bastard! You have no idea who you're messing with!" he growled at him, "I'm the Beast Tamer dammit! There isn't any animal in the world that won't obey me! Observe!" he points at Chu Chu, "You! Shake!"

*BITE*

"AAAAAHCK!" Mohji screamed as the dog jumped up and bit his hand. As the dog jumped back down in front of the pet food store, Mohji turned back to look at Seth, "Anyway, you are just a nameless thief!" he says, ignoring the deadpanned face of the lion boy and the 'Booo! You suck!' sign that he was holding.

"Rrrrrrrrrr!" The lion growls as he looks at the shop.

"Now, now Richie, let's first kill him, and then you can devour him along with the dog," Mohji says darkly.

Meanwhile, Nami and Boodle got out of hiding and went next to Luffy and Zoro.

"Umm, you two, why are you standing here for?! Don't you see he's going to get himself killed?!" Nami yells at them.

"She's right! Mohji is a dangerous man, his lion has killed hundreds of people! Your friend won't last a minute!" the mayor agreed with Nami.

"Don't worry," Luffy spoke up, not looking away, "Seth is super strong, is that weirdo who won't last a minute," he says with such confidence.

"Besides, he said that he can manage it, I'm curious to see how he does it," Zoro commented.

Back at Seth, the auburn boy chuckles at the bold statement, "Devour me? Do you even know what you're doing?"

Mohji looks with an eerie look on his face. "Don't screw with me boy. Richie, show him what I mean." Richie growled, he looked at Seth before he let a mighty roar on his face.

"Roooooooooar!"

Saliva and a heavy breath hit Seth on the face. When Richie stopped roaring, Mohji had a cocky smirk after seeing Seth trembling.

"Now, you see. You better started running before-" he was stopped when he saw Seth smirk, took a deep breath, and-

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!"

A booming voice came out of Seth's mouth, echoing right through the Beast Tamer and his lion. Mohji covered his ear in a sudden voice. Windows shattered into pieces and cracks on the ground were formed. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Boodle cover their poor ears at the booming roar coming from the auburn-haired boy.

Once it stops, Mohji recovers his hearing back, and sees Seth smirking at him, "Now that's a real roar."

The Beast Tamer looks at him in confusion and anger, "I don't understand how you do this, but it is time to end this! Richie, kill him!" Mohji ordered his tamed lion…but it never moved a paw. "Richie?" The man looked at the lion and his eyes became shocked.

Richie's eyes were tiny dots and shaking a lot, his body trembles in fear as sweat rolls down his face, its mouth trembles at the fear he just witnessed.

"O-Oi, Richie! What's going on?!" Mohji asked his animal before said animal eyes rolled up and foam came out of his mouth, falling to the ground unconscious and throwing Mohji off.

"Richie!" the Beast Tamer yells in fear as his partner passes out. He suddenly felt a dangerous aura behind him, he turned around and saw Seth smiling devilishly at him. "Y-You…what you did to Richie?!" he asked as sweat forms on his face and fears creep into him.

"Oh, nothing…Just showing him, who is the Alpha here." Seth answered.

Not taking the answer greatly, Mohji took out a whip from somewhere on his body. "You'll pay for this!" he began to send whip slashes at Seth, who merrily dodge them until the whip lashes on his arm. "Ha! Got you now!" he shouts as he pulls his whip to send him into a wall…That is if he could move him.

"You got me?" Seth asked before grabbing a hold of the whip. Mohji's eyes widened and before he could do anything, he was pulled at the auburn lion, he screamed in fear as he came close to the boy.

"Let this be a reminder; you never stood a chance! Lion Strike!" Seth yells as his fist turns into his lion arm and sends it forward.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa-" Mohji screamed when his face collided with the fist with full force.

"Hold it!" Eternal4Ever said as he rewinds the video, "Let's slow it down for a bit…More…More…There!" the TV stop right at the moment the fist collides with the face. The words *crack* appearing on the side. "Ooooohhhhh, that had to hurt a lot, nose broken, definitely, and maybe some missing teeth. Okay, we now return."

Mohji's head hit the ground hard, blood and tears coming out of him unconscious.

"That's it? This is Buggy's first mate's strength?" Seth looked at his defeated opponent in disappointment. "Well, I guess he was just like his captain; a laughing joke." He turns to Chu Chu, "I'll be taking these two away, wouldn't want this lion to wake up and attack you, right?"

"Arf! Arf!" The dog barks at him while waving his tail. Seth slung the unconscious Beast Tamer on his shoulder and grabbed Richie by the paw.

He began to drag it away from the shop and walk directly to his friends. When he got there, he saw Luffy smiling widely at him, Zoro eyes widened in amazed, and both Nami and the mayor's jaws were down on the ground.

"Nice job, Seth!" Luffy beams at him.

"Damn! You beat a lion in a roaring contest and make it pass out!" Zoro exclaimed.

"W…What the hell?!" Nami yelled before she pointed at him accusingly. "How the hell did you do that?! No normal person could out-roar a giant lion?!" she then points at the unconscious victims, "And why did you bring them with you?!"

Seth blinks three times at her before saying, "So you're telling me that I should have left them there and once they woke, let them destroy the dog's shop?" Nami was taken back by his question, he was thinking for the dog's shop? "Now, I may be a pirate, but I even know the value of that shop for the dog. I'm not going to let some lion destroy it only because his trainer wasn't doing a good job feeding him."

"Shishishi! That's right!" Luffy agreed with his friend and Zoro just cracked a small smile.

The orange-haired thief looked at them in shock. All her life, in her eyes, pirates were nothing more than criminals that take other's valuable things away.

However, here is one pirate, fighting for the treasure of someone else, which isn't worth a bar of gold…She couldn't wrap her head around the idea.

"I'm so pathetic…!"

The four of them turn to the side to see the Mayor gritting his teeth and fist, "Chu Chu and this young man are fighting while I can only sit down and do nothing!" he yelled out.

"Wait, Mayor, calm down!" Nami while putting up her hand the mayor's shoulder, trying to calm him.

"To a real man, there are some fights that can't be avoided! Isn't that right, you three?!" Boodle yelled to Seth, Luffy, and Zoro.

"Hehe of course!" Luffy replied with a grin.

"Heh, I guess that's true," Zoro commented.

"True words have never been spoken," Seth said.

"Don't encourage him, you idiots!" Nami yelled at them.

The mayor began to talk about his town, "Forty years ago, this place was nothing but a wasteland, we built small town after we lost our other town by pirates!" he made a small smile as memories flow through his mind, "We were just a few making this town, but then, our population rose, and we build more houses and shops!" he then points at his village, "Now look at it! This town grew a lot from before! OUR village has grown! Now, these pirates are destroying it!" Boodle raised his spear into the air, "I am the Mayor of this town! I won't run again while my treasure is being destroyed!"

Before Boodle could run off, Nami quickly grabbed a hold of his shirt to try to bring him back before he got himself killed. "W-wait a minute, Mayor! Those people are dangerous! So what's the point in going!? This is too reckless!"

"I KNOW I BEEN RECKLESS!" The mayor yells at her with crying tears, surprising her a lot. Taking the moment, Boodle got out of her grasp, "Buggy the Clown! I'm coming-"

*BAMB!*

He was cut short when a fist hit his stomach.

Nami gasps in shock at seeing Seth punching the old man. His body went limp before Seth grabbed him, "You're mad because you're weak," the auburn boy whispered in his ear, "Hold that feeling tight; is the proof that you haven't given up fighting."

The auburn lion slowly placed the mayor on the ground. Suddenly, a fist bumps his head. He turns to see Nami angry. "You idiot! Why did you knock him out?!"

Seth raised an eyebrow at her, "You yelled that he was doing something reckless, yet you get mad for stopping him?" he asked her.

"You're weird," Luffy states to her.

"Shut Up!" she yelled at them.

"So, what now?" Zoro asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Seth grabs the lion and his tamer again, "We have to repay the old man for the food; by kicking Buggy out of here!"

"Shishishi! That's right, I like this old man, I don't want him to die!" Luffy agrees. "Now! Let's go kick Buggy's ass!"

"Heh, I'm starting to get excited." Zoro smiled.

"How can you three act like nothing bad is going to happen?!" Nami yelled at their calm nature.

"My ambition."

"My will."

"My dream!"

"You are idiots!" Nami slapped her face.

"Our destination is the Grand Line! Now we're going to go steal that map again!" Luffy shouted, raising his hand to Nami. "Will you join us? You need the map too, don't you? And the treasure!"

Nami stared at his hand angrily and breathed out a huff of air. "I'm not going to become a pirate," She said, smacking Luffy's hand with hers. "Rather than 'partners', let's just say that we're 'cooperating.' Helping each other to achieve our goals."

"Great! Now that we have a beautiful girl with us, shall we go?" Seth asked, causing Nami to blush at his statement.

"Right!" Luffy agreed while Zoro wrapped his green bandana on his head tight.

The four of them commence walking back to where the joke of a pirate called Buggy was stationed.
