4 4. Buggy Pirates

Ethan and Zoro finally arrived at an Island after rowing the boat for hours. They picked up three crew members of the pirate captain buggy the clown. They tried to steal the boat from Ethan and Zoro but they beat the pirates up and made them row the boat.

When they landed at the Island they heard a big explosion nearby.

"What was that?" Zoro asked and the pirates answered.

"That was captain buggy's special buggy ball."

"Let's go I have a feeling that our captain must be there."

Zoro nodded at Ethan's suggestion and they started to move towards the origin of the noise.

After they got there they saw a lit canon pointed at Luffy and a girl catching the burning rope attached to the cannon. Ethan recognized the girl who was Nami but he had to look elsewhere as four pirates were jumping at Nami with swords in their hands.

Ethan and Zoro moved to intercept those pirates. Ethan took care of two pirates by blocking the swords and kicking one in the nuts while punching another one in the face.

Zoro also dealt with two pirates b by hitting them with his sheathed swords.

Ethan turned towards Nami and asked "Are you all right?"

Nami slowly nodded her head. Ethan moved towards Luffy and bent the bars of the in which Buggy had captured him using metal manipulation.

He pulled Luffy out of the cage and cut the ropes using his sword.

Buggy was shouting from behind because Ethan had freed his prisoner.

Ethan turned towards Buggy and saw Zoro was starting to fight Buggy.

Buggy jumped towards Zoro with daggers in his hands but Zoro easily cut Buggy in half.

Ethan was paying attention to the fight very seriously. He knew what was going to happen when he saw Buggy's hand with daggers trying to impale Zoro he ran towards it and kicked it away.

"Pay attention you idiot." Ethan said to Zoro.

He looked towards Luffy and said. "let's go from here for now."

Luffy agreed and all four of them ran from there.

They kept running and after a while they stopped. When Ethan looked around, he saw a dog.

[Nothing is a coincidence huh.]

Ethan thought to himself.

Luffy saw the dog and went to tease the dog. Luffy started to tease the dog and the dog bit Luffy in the face.

An old man with long grey hair that reached up to his shoulders came walking towards them.

"I'm this town's mayor. Who are you people?"

The mayor asked them.

"I'm Luffy and this my crew." Luffy said suddenly.

Ethan facepalmed.

"Don't worry Mr. Mayor. We are not here to loot or kill. We don't do that we are just passing through."

Ethan said to the mayor before mayor got wrong impression of them.

"So, this dog's name is Chouchou. What is he doing here?"

Nami asks the mayor after the mayor tells them the dog's name seeing Luffy and the dog fight.

"He's guarding the shop." The mayor says to the crew.

They all turn to see a pet food store.

The mayor tells them the story of the dog and its owner. By the end of it all are emotional.

They start to hear repeating thundering and shaking noise and after looking at the origin of the sound they see a huge lion and a man on the top of its head.

Seeing Mojhi and his pet lion Richie the mayor tells them to run away and runs away while grabbing Nami's hand.

Ethan, Luffy and Zoro keep standing there looking at Mojhi and Richie the lion.

When Mojhi gets near them Luffy asks "Who are you and why are you wearing that weird animal suit.?" after seeing animal ears on top of Mojhi's head.

"I'm Beast tamer mojhi. I'm a crew member of Buggy pirates. And this is my real ears." Mojhi says to the crew.

Ethan looks at Mojhi and asks "Are you here to fight?"

Mojhi looks at Ethan and nods.

Ethan looks at Luffy and says "This fight is mine."

Luffy looks at Ethan and nods.

Ethan has already taken off his suit before he came to the island because he knew that he will have to fight so he took his sword in hand and looked at Mojhi and Richie.

"Let's start." Ethan said and ran towards Richie.

Richie also came running towards him and Ethan was shocked because the huge loin as faster than he had anticipated.

The lion kicked him with such a force that he flew away and crashed into a building.

He coughed up blood and he was in pain. He felt that most of his bones were broken.

[Damn I thought this would be easy. Thank god i had bought a high-level elixir from Danmachi world that can bring a person back from death's side until the person has breath left in him.]

He brought out the elixir from the ring drank it using his shaking hand.

In minute his wounds healed and he walked out from the rubble.

Nami and the old may looked at him shocked seeing him walk out alive.

"How are you even alive?" Nami asks after seeing Ethan walk out of the rubble.

"Even I'm wondering that." He says and runs towards Richie after seeing Richie moving towards the pet food store.

He makes hand signs and created five shadow clones .

He takes his katana and runs towards the lion then clashes it's leg while the other clones also do the same. While the clones are attacking the lion's legs two clones jump and attack Mojhi sitting at the top of the lion's head.

The lion cries out in pain because of the wounds on it's legs while Mojhi falls on the ground because of the attack.

Two of the clones beat Mojhi up and after Mojhi falls unconscious all five clones and Ethan attack Richie the lion. The lion couldn't move it's legs because of the wounds. So after attacking the lion with his katana the lion was wounded and fell down on the ground and it couldn't get up anymore.

Ethan saw the wounded dog and walked towards it.

Nami came in front of the dog and said

"Are you happy that you defeated him. All pirates are the same. All you know is to hurt people."

Ethan walked to the dog and took out a senzu bean and put it in the dog's mouth and made it swallow it.

After the dog recovered, Ethan sat next to it and said

"I protected your shop."

Nami looked shocked and Luffy started laughing and Zoro smiled.

Ethan looked at Nami and asked her to join their crew.

"I'll never be a pirate but we can join hands."

Seeing Ethan fight the mayor became emotional and became determined to fight the Buggy pirates himself.

He started to walk towards the Buggy pirates.

"We cannot let the old man fight himself. let's go help him."

Ethan said to Luffy and luffy nodded.

"Let's go beat up the red nose." Luffy says while hitting his left palm with right fist.

.........

Ethan, Luffy, Zoro and Nami walk towards the Buggy pirated. When they reach there they see the Buggy pirated mocking the mayor.

Luffy knocks the mayor unconscious so the the mayor won't get hurt.

"Last time you escaped but this time I won't let you get away." Buggy says and fires a cannonball toward Ethan and the crew but Luffy inflated himself and bounces the ball back to the.

[In anime it was fun seeing Luffy stretch and inflame itself but now seeing a human doing these things it just feels weird.] Ethan thinks and smiles wryly.

The cannonball hits the building and the building blows up. Ethan, Luffy and the crew look at he rubble and see Buggy shielding himself using his cremates.

Ethan sees Luffy get angry. He also sees the wounded Mojhi and Richie the lion wrapped up in bandages.

Cabaji Buggy's second mate and the strongest swordsman of the crew walks out and Charges towards them in an unicycle but Zoro blocks him using his swords.

Ethan sits a bit far away to enjoy the fight.

Because Zoro was not injured in the fight with Buggy like in the anime, Cabaji was defeated almost immediately by Zoro. Cabaji could not even touch Zoro's clothes using his swords.

While Zoro and Cabaji were fighting Nami said to Ethan and Luffy " You pirates can fight and die, I don't care.

I will steal all their treasures and leave from this island."

Nami then walked away.

After Cabaji was defeated now Luffy and Buggy were going to fight.

Buggy separated by the waist and Attacked Luffy using the blade hidden in his shoes.

Luffy dodged by jumping into the air .

"You can't dodge in midair, can you?" Buggy said and smiled wickedly, then he threw his hands holding daggers between each fingers towards luffy but luffy dodged it by grabbing a wooden post.

Buggy's legs returned back to him.

Luffy then tried to punch Buggy by stretching his hand but Buggy dodged it. Luffy then grabbed a tree that was behind buggy using the same stretched hand then he flew to buggy and tried to hit him with his other hand buggy separated his head from his body and dodged it and tried to cut Luffy.

Luffy crashed into a building behind Buggy. When Luffy got out of the rubble his straw hat was damaged and his face was cut up by Buggy's daggers.

Ethan was watching all this happening while thinking about his fight with Mojhi and Richie. He knew he lacked experience in fight and also that he was not fast enough. He promised to learn the flying thunder god technique and also make his body more stronger. He had thousands options to choose from the shop to make himself stronger but he didn't want to use shortcuts more than necessary.

He continued to look at Luffy and Buggy's thinking that he might learn some things from the fight.

Luffy got angry because his hat was damage and to mock Luffy more Buggy stabbed the hat with daggers by using his separated hand and brought the hat back to him.

Buggy then told Luffy how he was a newbie pirate on A pirate ship with Shanks and why he hated Shanks.

Because Buggy insulted Shanks Luffy got angry and ran towards Buggy to him him and buggy tried to dodge by separating his head and his body but this time Luffy hit his body instead of his head to buggy fell down on the ground.

When Buggy got up and saw that Nami was taking his treasure he flew to wards Nami by separating his body and legs by the waist.

Ethan seeing this jumped in front of Nami to protect her.

While Buggy was flying towards Nami luffy kicked between Buggy's l;egs which were standing near him.

Buggy fell down on the ground. Buggy separated his body into more parts and tried to attack Nami again but Luffy Hit buggy's legs then Buggy turned towards Luffy to attack him.

"Chop-Chop Assemble" Buggy tried to Assemble his body but Nami and Ethan tied up Buggy's torso and his legs and his hand so when Buggy assembled he only had his head, Arms and feet.

"Gum-Gum Bazooka" Luffy shouted and hit him with his attack.

Buggy flew away until he could not be seen by his naked eye.

Luffy put on his hat and laughed while Ethan threw Buggy's body to his crew mates.

Nami looked at luffy and offered to mend his straw hat.

Ethan sat next to Zoro and handed him a bottle of whiskey he bought from the shop.

They were talking when the inhabitants of the town looking for the mayor.

They asked if the pirates hurt the mayor but Luffy told them it was him.

Ethan grabbed Nami's two pouches of treasure and ran.

"Run." He said to the crew and they started to run while the inhabitants chased them.

After getting to the pier they jumped on the boat and sailed.

After they sailed the mayor came to the pier to thank them as Ethan and his crew sailed away.
