Luffy's and Buggy's Main Event: Cannonball Clowns!
Right now, Buggy and his crew are recovering from the explosion, the former having rage on his face and the latter staying far away from him in fear.
"Fucking bastards, I don't know who were those two, but no one uses my Special Buggy Ball on me and gets away with it!" Buggy yelled in rage. "I'll kill all of them, including that traitor Nami!"
"C-C-Calm down Captain," one of the pirates spoke up, "Mohji went to get them, I'm sure they are dead already!"
"Hmmm, true. Mohji hasn't failed me yet." That seems to calm the clown a bit. "Who just called me a clown?!"
"HEY BIG UGLY RED NOSE!"
The entire crew jaw drops and sweat form on their faces as veins pop out from his forehead. Buggy went to where the shout came from and found all four people he wanted dead. "WHO HAS A BIG UGLY RED NOSE!?"
"You since you're the only person with a giant red dot on that makeup face you bathed yourself with!" Seth throws his two cents.
"You idiots, don't call him that!" Nami bonks the straw hat boy and the auburn boy's head.
"You fucking assholes!" Buggy shouts in rage before he notices the unconscious Mohji and Richie in the lion boy's arms. "WHAT?! Mohji lost?!" The crew was in shock at seeing the mighty Beast Tamer being defeated.
"Here! This is yours!" Seth, with the help of Zoro, threw Mohji and Richie at where the Buggy Pirates were, landing on a hard *thud*.
The Clown Pirate was now spitting sperms, "Mohji! How dare you humiliate me like this?! Men prepared the Buggy cannon!" His men obeyed and prepared the cannon.
"Oh no! We have to run!" Nami says as she and Zoro begin running. Seth just went to a wall and rested his body against it. Luffy stood still right in the cannon's path.
"Oy! What are you guys doing?!" Zoro yelled at them.
"FIRE!" Buggy command as the ball was shot, going directly at Luffy.
This one just smirks, takes a deep breath and yells, "Gum-Gum Balloon!" his body became a big balloon, and stopped the cannonball.
"WHAAAAAAAT?!" Buggy and his crew shouted in shock.
"Here! Have it back!" Luffy bounces the Buggy ball back at them, causing the second explosion on them of the day.
"What the hell?!" Nami was also shocked at the display.
"Seth, you knew he was going to do this!?" Zoro turns to his companion.
"I have known Luffy for a while, I kind of get used to it," Seth answered.
"Yosh! Now we fight!" Luffy deflated himself.
"Okay, what are you guys!?" Nami finally loses it as she points at Seth and Luffy, "First, you outroar a lion without a problem and now you bounce back a cannonball! What was that?!"
"Easy!" Luffy beams at her, "My Gum-Gum Balloon!"
"BUT HOW DID YOU DO THIS?!" Nami yelled at him.
"The Devil's Fruit." A voice came out from the smoke, showing two pirates and Richie being held up. Moments later, they were dropped to the ground revealing Buggy and a man with long black hair, a long scarf around his neck, and standing in a unicycle.
"Captain, this is the first time we suffer this much." the man says.
"I'm so angry, words can't come out of my mouth!" Buggy eyes were shadowed.
"Devil Fruit!?" Nami looks at Luffy, who nods and stretches his cheeks beyond limits, freaking her out. She turns to Seth, "And you?!"
"I'll tell you later, for now, we have work to do," Seth said.
"Captain, allow me to kill these worms." the man took out a sword from out of his mouth.
"Go right ahead, Cabaji." Buggy allows the man known as Cabaji to kill them.
At a sprinting speed, Cabaji went directly at Luffy, intending to stab him right away. Just as he reached him, Zoro stood in front of him and blocked the sword with his.
"If you're looking for a sword fight, I'm the guy you need." the green swordsman says.
"Hmm, so be it," Cabaji then noticed up close that he was using two swords and there was one more sheathed on its waist. "Wait a minute…You're Roronoa Zoro!"
"The Pirate Hunter…I see...you have come to get my bounty at last." Buggy said.
"Wrong, I gave up hunting pirates," Zoro replied.
"Heh, it doesn't matter," the trick swordsman smug a smile. "Killing you will raise my reputation!" He took a deep breath and spew flames out of his mouth, "Circus Trick: Fire Breath!"
Zoro moved backward and began to fight with the circus swordsman.
Meanwhile, Nami places a hand on both Seth and Luffy, "Listen here, Buggy's treasure is behind that shack over there, along with the Grand Line's map, I'll take this chance to get it and then I'm gone. If you guys managed to survive here…Then let's cooperate again." Nami says with a smile as she began to walk away.
"Hold on," the orange-haired girl felt a hand on her shoulder, "I'm coming too. You can take the gold all you want, but the map is ours." Seth says with a smile, "Besides, who knows when these pirates will wake up."
"Uhh…You don't need to…I'm capable of defending myself." Nami said, hoping to change his mind.
"Nonsense! Why would I leave such a beautiful woman to do the heavy work alone?" he said, getting a sigh of defeat from her. He looks at his captain, "Luffy, I'm getting the map, finish this circus quickly."
"Okay! Hurry up though." Luffy said back at him. Both Seth and Nami ran off to get their respective objectives.
Back with Zoro, he had a bored expression on his face, he blocked and cut all of Cabaji's attack, "Are you truly a swordsman? Cause all you do is throw tricks at me." he says.
"Don't worry, I'll finish you with my greatest trick!" Cabaji then threw several spinning tops at him, "Circus Trick: One Hundred Tops Typhoon!" Zoro cut them all, however it was a distraction as the unicycle man wall climbed and was in the air. "Circus Trick: Midsummer Fire Crackers Ignition!"
Zoro prepared himself to block, but then he heard, "Chop-Chop Small Cannon!" Buggy shoots a flying hand at Zoro.
('What?! His hand shootout?!') Zoro was shocked, it looked like Buggy did eat the devil's fruit. As the hand got closer, it was brutally stomped into the ground, courtesy of Luffy.
"Aaaaagh!" the clown pirate yelled in pain. "Get your fucking foot out of my hand!"
"Then you get your dirty hands off Zoro's fight!" Luffy yelled back.
The former pirate hunter smiles at seeing his captain backing him up. He quickly moves away from the direct stab and throws Cabaji off his unicycle. "Enough games, I'm ending this!" he places his white sword in his mouth.
"Fine! Then I shall finish with my swordsmanship alone!" Cabaji began to run to him, sword in hand.
Zoro crosses his arms in his chest, his two swords pointing upward. Once Cabaji got close enough, "Onigiri!" Zoro slashes his chest open, causing the acrobat to teeter back and forth.
"How...could I…have lost to…a pitiful thief…" Cabaji managed to say before passing out on the ground.
"That's where you're wrong," Zoro sheathed his swords back and took off his bandana. "We are pirates."
"Nice job, Zoro!" Luffy beams out with thumbs up. "Now stand down, this guy is mine!" the bushido man understood and nodded.
"You guys…are pirates?!" Buggy screams out.
"Yeah! Hand over the Grand Line map!" Luffy shouted at Buggy.
"So that was your goal…that place isn't exactly somewhere nameless pirates like yourself can go as you please. So what are you planning to do there! Go have a sightseeing tour!?" Buggy yelled.
"I'm gonna become the Pirate King," Luffy replied.
Buggy almost fell over in shock at his answer. "Don't kid around, you fool! You become Pirate King!? Then I'm a god! The person who'll get his hands on all the treasures in the world will be me! Don't even dream about it!" Buggy shouted in anger.
"Let's skip the lecture, cause we all know how much you suck at it," Luffy cracked his two knuckles before looking at you, "Right readers?!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"
"Shut it, land lovers!" Buggy yelled at guys as a knife appeared between his fingers. "I had enough with this! Seeing your straw hat just bring back painful and angry memories of that fucking red-haired guy!" Buggy screams out.
"Red-haired?!" Luffy exclaimed.
(Meanwhile)
"Here we are."
Seth whispered as he and Nami reached the pub where Buggy had his treasure, and I have to say…The clown pirate sure knows how to keep himself satisfied.
Belly signs appeared in the thief's eyes as she began to stuff all the gold in a bag. The auburn-haired boy only chuckles, she looked like a kid that found out she's a superhero with all the candy in the world.
"I see you like money a lot." Seth said, getting a nod from her while continuing to stuff the gold, "Is there a reason for that?" he asked in curiosity.
The orange-haired girl stopped picking gold, she just stared at it as an image of a shark appeared in her mind. She began to continue to collect the loot as she mumbles, "Money is everything, plain and simple."
Seth stood silent, if she thinks he didn't hear her, she's dead wrong, "I see…I guess that's true…" Good thing that Nami had her back against him so that he didn't notice the surprised look on her face, "However, remember something…" Seth's expression became serious, "No matter how much you have. There's no price for freedom…"
Nami's eyes were immediately widened as she suddenly remembers that thing's promise, ('Will he...No!') she shook her head. ('He's a man of his word…besides, I'm so close now…')
"Now then!" Seth places his hands together, "If I was a clown that was rejected from the circus because its makeup was already a terrible joke, where would I put a map?" he began looking around.
Hearing a snort coming out from Nami.
Seth smirked, "What? You know I'm right, that guy has a serious clown fetish problem, I bet a hundred bellies that even his crew laughs on his back about how stupid he looks with that cherry on his face." Nami places a hand on her mouth. "I mean, just having him around is enough for the crowd to feel despair, hell I don't want to hear his joke! I bet they are all...Buggers!"
Nami couldn't hold it anymore as a laugh escaped her lips.
"Hahahahaha!" she cleans a tear off her face, "I'll give you credit; that was funny." she says before noticing that Seth was staring at her, making her feel awkward, "W-What is it?" she asked him.
The auburn lion cracks a smile, "You know, is just my opinion...But you look cuter when you're happy."
The orange-haired thief was taken back by his statement, making her blush and look away from him, a pang on her heart hitting her chest, "T-Thanks…"
"Aha! Here it is!" Seth exclaimed out. In his hand was a scroll with a strap on it. "Found the Grand Line's map! I'm done!"
At the same time, Nami tight the bag with gold, "Same here…I guess this is where we part away…" she says.
Seth raised an eyebrow, "Why did that sound like a bad thing?"
"It must be your imagination." Nami quickly says.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE YOURSELF WITH SHANKS!"
A loud angry voice enters through Nami and Seth's ears, almost threatening them to break their eardrums.
"God fucking dammit Luffy," Seth rub his ears, "He knows I have sensitive ears, why the fuck is he shouting?!" Seth put the map away and walked outside, followed by Nami. Once they were, Buggy was on the ground while Luffy was looking at his Straw Hat.
"How dare you…Ruin my hat!" Luffy jumps on top of Buggy and begins to stretch it. "And you even spit on it!
Nami was surprised by the rubber boy's outburst, only from a wood straw hat. "Oh shit, Buggy is fuck." she hears Seth comment.
"Why is that?" she unconsciously asked him.
The auburn-haired looks at her, "That hat is super important for Luffy, it's his world."
"...I don't get, what's so important about it?" Nami asked.
Seth looks back at Luffy, who was now grabbing his straw hat in hand. He places his hand on top of the yellow pendant that hangs on his neck, "Is not the item itself important…rather, is the memories that hold in."
Nami stood silent, she guesses he's right about that, ('I would be mad if someone damages Bellemere oranges tree…')
"ENOUGH!" the scream of Buggy broke Nami's thought, "Throughout my whole life, even until today, there has not been a single one who has made me madder than he did!" Buggy snarled. "That bastard…he…HE TOOK A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TREASURE FROM ME! I can't forgive him!" He shouted, remembering the incident that caused him to become a Devil Fruit user in the first place, from losing a million wort devil fruit and an underwater treasure, finishing that Shanks saved him when he almost drowned at the sea.
…
…
…
"...So Shanks saved your life?"
"Doesn't that mean Shanks saved your ass?"
"Did he just get mad from being saved by a crewmate?"
"Why would you get mad by being saved from someone?"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Buggy screamed. "The point is, because of Shanks, I'll never get the treasure in the sea, so I'll get all the treasure on the land!" Suddenly, his upper body floated into the air.
"Holy shit," Seth whispered out, "Is a flying man with no legs!"
"Because of that, whoever touches my treasure…Will die!" he suddenly shot forward at both Nami and Seth faster than ever.
"Shit! Look out!" Seth quickly grabs Nami and uses his back as a shield.
"How dare you steal my treasure?! I will mince you- Kuuuuuuh?!" Buggy's face suddenly turned sour, squealing in pain. His body fell slowly into the ground.
"Ouch." Zoro winced at what he witnessed.
Luffy kicking Buggy right in the crotch, not a care in the world.
"Oi Buggy! Your fight is with me!" Luffy yelled at the clown.
Seth looked behind him and saw Buggy's upper body on the ground. He sighs in relief before looking at the thief, "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah...Thanks…" Nami says, blushing out, ('This…He saved my life...A pirate throws their life to save me? He didn't even hesitate to do it!')
Just what is going on, pirates saving lives? Unthinkable! Yet, here is one that just did that…
"Oy! Drop the sack and getaway! He's going after you otherwise!" Nami had a tick on her head when she heard that rubber boy said.
"Drop it?! Fat chance!" she holds the sack closer to her chest, "I'm not letting go of my treasure!"
"Y-Your treasure!?" Buggy growled at her statement.
"That's right! I steal it from a pirate, therefore it is mine!" She yelled defiantly.
The trio pirates stared at her before they fist-bumped their palm. "Seems legit."
"That's enough!" Buggy screams out, "What makes you think that if you steal it is yours?!"
All four of them look at him, "Like you're one to talk." Buggy twitch at their response.
"You asked it for it…Chop...Chop...FESTIVAL!" Suddenly, all of Buggy's body cut off him and began to float around the place. "Let's see you save your friends now!" Then, the clown charges directly at Nami with his head and two hands with knives. "Give me back my treasure!"
"Never!" Nami shields the loot with her body. Buggy sent his two hands directly at her, causing her to close her eyes.
*Schunk*Schunk*
('...Huh?') Nami slowly opened her eyes and saw another shocking flaw.
Seth stood in front of her, his two hands stopping the knife from hitting her, but at the cost of having them stab through them, holding the clown's hand in a strong grip as blood dripped off him.
"Oy! Seth!" Zoro immediately began to sprint at his friend's aid, he agreed to let Luffy beat Buggy, but he never said anything about aiding his companions.
('H-He…He did it again!') Nami yelled out in her head. Again! Seth saved her again and risked his hands in the process! ('Is he truly a pirate!?')
"Hey! Let go of me!" Buggy yelled as he tried to break from the auburn-haired boy's hold.
"If you want to get to her, you'll have to go through me!" Seth proclaimed. Putting pressure on the hands, despite the pain coursing through his hands.
Buggy screams in pain, "Gaaaah! Let go already-" he suddenly felt his feet got captured.
"Gotcha!" Luffy had tackled the clown's walking feet. He took off the shoe cover and began to tickle it. Making Buggy laugh like a maniac, then Luffy began to pinch it, making Buggy grunt in pain.
"WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF-" Buggy was slammed in the face hard. Nami took advantage of the distraction and slammed her bag hard on him, causing the bag to rip apart, sending the treasure around, and sent the flying head into a wall, causing the rest of the body parts to fall into the ground.
Seth stopped holding the flying hands, letting them fall into the ground, the knives were still sticking in his. "Damn…This freaking hurts a lot…"
"Seth!" Zoro reaches him, "You are one crazy animal." he says with a smirk, "Stopping two knives like that takes serious balls."
"Heh, like you're one to talk, I bet if you were fighting with a deep wound, you would have cut it off to make things fair," Seth replied.
"...You got me there." Zoro grabs the knife's handles, "Grit your teeth. I'll take them off." Seth nodded to him and did as follows, "One…Two…Three!" Zoro took the weapons off, blood began to spurt out.
"SWEET GOL D ROGER!" Seth yelled in pain, "It hurts!" he says before been hit on the head.
"That's what you get for stopping knives with YOUR hands!" Nami yelled at Seth, surprising both men. "You! What kind of person uses their hands to stop knives?! What were you thinking?!"
Seth blinks in confusion, "I was thinking about saving you." He says, making Nami blush again before getting angry at him.
"T-That's not the point! Now you have wounded in…your…hands?" she then noticed that his hands were…fine?
"W-What?" she grabs hold of one of his hands. The blood was on it, but no wound to come out from it.
"I know, I was shocked as well," Zoro commented, knowing what she was thinking. "Who would have taught he has a healing factor?"
The orange-haired stood there in shock, she traced a finger on where the wound was supposed to be, ('He's…smooth...and warm…')
She stopped when a hand touched hers "Woah...you have soft hands Nami." Seth grabs a hold of her hand, making her blush yet again.
"T-Thanks…" she answers back. "...As well for saving me…"
Seth beams at her, "No problem, I'm always ready to help a beautiful girl such as yourself." Nami blush was even darker.
"Oy! Stop flirting!" Zoro calls them in annoyance, causing Nami to take her hand away from him, embarrassed about it.
Seth suddenly remembered something important, "Luffy! I have the map, wrap it all up!" he yelled at his captain.
"Okay!" Luffy answered.
"Wrap it all up?!" Buggy's head floats once again, "Like if I'm done for! I'm killing all of you! Chop-Chop Reassemble!" He called his body parts to him…
But only his hands and feet attended. "Eh?"
"Are you looking for this?" Buggy turns to see Nami smiling devilishly while stepping on his rope body parts.
"Aaaaaaah! My body parts!" The Pirate Clown yelled in fear, noticing now that he was lower than Luffy. The Straw Hat captain began to laugh at what just happened.
"Shishishishi! Looks like a thief has some nice skills! Now I can finish you off!" Luffy stretched his arms backward, "Say good-bye Buggy! GUM-GUM…"
"W-Wait!" Buggy tries to speak, but it was too late.
"BAZOOKA!" Luffy's arms shot forward, colliding with Buggy and sent him flying into infinity. The clown pirate finally got his shining star in the sky.
"Victory!" Luffy yelled while pumping his fist in the air.
He then turns to look at Nami, who was picking up her scatter treasure, "Now you're going to join my crew right?!"
"...I'll stick with you boys for a while, and I said that we are cooperating!" Nami yelled at him, finally tying up her treasure bag. "Buggy sure steals the best treasure, there's almost 10 million Beli!" she says while rubbing the bag on her face.
Both Zoro and Seth sweatdrop at her display, Nami then gives Seth a bag of gold, "Here, I've divided it into two so you hold half of it. This thing is heavy when carried alone."
"...Is this because I scared you?" Seth asked.
Nami jerk up, "N-No! Is it because I trust you more with it than these two!" she says, before blushing and slapping a hand over her mouth.
The auburn lion looks at her in surprise, before looking at Zoro, "See that, I am a pirate, and I just earn trust from a girl that I just met minutes ago and hates pirates."
"Now I have seen everything." the green swordsman comment.
"Shut up!" Nami yelled at them, before looking away. She then noticed Luffy looking preoccupied while holding his damaged hat. "He... cares for that hat doesn't he?" she asked.
Seth nods, "As I said; That hat means the world to him."
"I guess even he has a breaking point," Zoro says.
"Well," Luffy places his straw hat on his head and grins, "I kick Buggy's ass, so is fine!" He turns to his crew, "All right guys! Shall we leave?"
Before they could answer, Seth began to pick up several footsteps and smells, "We have company." he says.
"Hey! You kids!" The four of them looked behind and saw a mob of people coming their way, one of them was carrying the unconscious mayor on their shoulder. "What the hell happened here?" one of them asked.
"The people from the town," Nami points at the pirates that were on the ground, "Some of the pirates are still here, you should call the marine."
"I see, do any of you know why the Mayor was unconscious on the ground?" another person asked.
"Oh, that was my friend here." Luffy points at Seth.
"WHAT?!" the town people began to glare at the auburn boy.
"You idiot! Why did you tell them that!?" Nami shouted at Luffy.
"Yeah, I kind of did that," Seth answered.
"And why are you admitting it?!"
"You…who are you people?" the people ready their weapons.
"We're pirates!" Luffy bluntly said.
"PIRATES?!"
"Hahahaha!" Zoro began to laugh at his captain's brashness.
Seth threw his hands in the air.
"You idiot!" Nami yelled.
"Get them!" with that, the mob charged at the four of them.
"Let's get out of here!" Luffy shouts, causing all four of them to run like mad.
"Why the hell did you make the situation more complicated!?" Nami yelled at Luffy.
"Hehe, this is a good village!" Luffy replied with a grin.
"What?" Nami asked.
"For their chief, for just one person…they're all getting mad!" Seth replied. "No matter what excuse we give, they'll still be mad at us!" They turn around the alley.
"They're running through an alley!" A villager shouted. As they were beginning to turn the corner, Chu Chu appeared and stepped in front of them. He began barking, stopping the mob.
"Hey, Chu Chu! Move out of the way, quickly! Those guys are bad pirates!" A man says, but Chu Chu never stopped barking.
"Aah, that dog!" Luffy said in surprise.
"Looks like he's repaying us for saving his shop!" Seth said with a grin.
After sprinting their hearts out, the four had finally made it to the dock area. The boat that Zoro and Seth came was there, along with another boat.
"Good, they aren't following us!" Nami sighs in relief, "Why did it have to end like that?"
"Is this your boat?" Luffy pointed at the bigger boat, "It's cool! I envy you!" Luffy said with a smile.
Nami sweatdrop, "Is not that great, I just stole it from some pirates."
"Oh yeah, those guys are here," Seth says.
The three pirates jump out from their stolen boat and point at Nami, "AHA! We have been waiting for you, thief!"
"You…you are.." Nami stuttered in surprise.
"Haha! We knew you'd come here if we stayed here!" One of them said with a grin.
"You know them?" Luffy asked her.
"Well, sort of…" Nami muttered.
"So you have a gang now…I guess we-" one of them said before noticing the green and auburn-haired monsters.
"Hello!"
"You guys still here?"
"AAAAAAAAH!" They scream in fear, "Those two are part of your gang?!"
"Yep!" Seth began to crack his knuckles, "Now…If you don't want a second beat down, I suggest you people give the boat to this beautiful woman…" Seth says, a dark aura coming out of him, with Zoro smiling darkly and reaching for his sword.
"BY ALL MEANS!" with that, the pirates hightail away from them.
Nami was quite surprised by this kind of persuasion. Seth offers a wink to her "After you m' lady."
Nami quickly nodded and got on the ship before he could see her blush again.
As the two parties got on their ship, they both simultaneously set their sails as they began to depart from the harbor. "Hey, the flag has Buggy's mark on it!" Luffy told Nami.
"It was those pirates' boats, so of course it does. I'll erase it later." She replied.
Suddenly, they hear a shout, "WAIT A MINUTE YOUNGSTERS!" All four of them look back to see the mayor, breathing heavily at the docks. It took a moment before he looked at them with a smile and tears rolling down his eyes, "THANK YOU SO MUCH! I AM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING!"
The four of them smiled as they heard the kind words coming from the old chief. "Don't worry! Just live happy lives!" Luffy yelled back to him as the two ships began to sail farther from the dock.
…
..
.
"WHAT?! You left the treasure behind!?" Nami yelled at Seth.
"I'm so sorry Miss Navigator, is just that, they need money to rebuild their town!" he bows his head in apology to her.
"That was my treasure, you idiot!" Nami jumps into the boat and begins to punch his arm.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow!" Seth yelped in pain, "I'm so sorry, I promised to pay you back!" he blurts out.
Nami stops punching him, and locks her eyes into his, "You promised?!" she asked.
Seth raised his palm, "Man's word, Beast promise." Nami looks at him a little longer before smiling.
"Good! I'm holding you on to that promised! But if you do that again, I'll kill you, got it?!" she yells at him with anger in her eyes.
"Yes, ma'am!" Seth confirms her, one sweat rolling down his face. Both Luffy and Zoro were laughing their ass at the display.
Now with a skillful navigator (temporary) in their team, our heroes set sail once again, with the map of the Grand Line in hand, just what adventures await them?
