Buggy Pirates

"Hey, Zero I wanted to ask why did you decided to join?" Zoro asked.

Bane looked up in the sky and said, "You see my parents left me when I was 4 years old, the funniest thing is that they said I was not strong to come with them, so at that time I struggled to survive, I trained hard and became strong, all I wanted is to survive, then after many years, I survived, and lost my goal, but when I saw you two my blood boiled and something inside me lit up, thats when I thought I want to get stronger, No, I want to be the strongest, an Unrivaled, someone who would never know defeat and, I don't want to be called weak again."

"An Unrivaled! I like that!" Luffy said, Zoro didn't say anything and also looked at the sky.

The three of them continued to chat for a while as the wind blew them randomly along their course. As the hours went by Luffy and Zoro seemed to lose energy before laying dow on their backs and looking up at the sky. Luffy groaned, "I'm hungry"

As they looked up at the sky a bird could be seen flying across the sky, Luffy sat up, "Let's eat that bird!"

Bane and Zoro looked up, "How?" Zoro asked.

"I'll go ge..." Bane was about to say he was going to get it but Luffy already jumped using his Gomu Gomu no rocket.

"Leave it to me!" he launched himself up into the sky, Bane and Zoro watched Luffy flew through the air and immediately had his head captured by the bird's beak. Both Bane and Zoro looked at each other before they both shouted, "That Idiot!"

The bird started to fly away with Luffy stuck in its beak. He didn't dare to let go as he would fall into the ocean and drown if he do. Bane and Zoro grabbed one oar each and started rowing as fast as they could to chase after Luffy, Bane also had to control his strength to not to over turn the boat.

They rowed then they could hear a shout coming from the direction they were heading. The two of them took a look and saw three men floating in the water shouting for help, 'Drifters? We don't have time for this!', Zoro then shouted We can't stop the boat climb on when it passes by!"

The three men managed to climb on board the boat, they then took out their swords saying their from Buggy's crew members, and so now Bane and Zoro were sitting at the end of the boat while the three men who introduced themselves as a part of Buggy's crew rowed the boat, Luffy was already out of sight so they could only make the three row in a straight line, then the three started talking to each other explaining how they were tricked and robbed by a 'cute girl', after a while Zoro asked who was Buggy they then started bragging.

Bane got interested as from their stories, Buggy was a strong pirate, this got his interest, their captain, and his invincible Devil Fruit, the boat started to slow down and Bane noticed this, so he beat them up again, then this time they started rowing as fast as they could with all their might.

It wasn't too much long before they saw an Island with village, Zoro and Bane and got close to the shore and stepped down when suddenly an explosion happened, it destroyed a massive portion of the town, "What was that explosion?" Zoro asked, Bane was also curious.

"One of Buggy-sama's Special Buggy Bombs" one of them said,

Bane and Zoro looked around together and headed where Buggy was located, Zoro got angry that the town was empty because of Buggy, so they decided to pay him a visit, before they left, Bane left one of his needles on the boat, just in case of emergency.

As they arrived, they saw an orange-haired girl grabbing a lit fuse with her bare hands to put it out. A group of pirates were just behind her and was about to attack, Bane reacted fast and immediately threw a needle near her, he clenched his fist and reappeared beside her, he was already in the motion of punching so when he reappeared, he immediately punch which created a wind pressure sending the pirates flying away.

Zoro also arrived and looked at Buggy pirates, "Zero! Zoro!" Luffy called out, they both turned around and saw Luffy sitting inside of a cage and tied up, Bane remembered that he hasn't told them his real name yet, he would later tell them, Black Zero was after just an alias.

The orange haired girl looked back at the two men who saved her, "Are you alright?" Bane asked, With Bane attending Nami, Zoro turned to Luffy and started berating him, "Is this your idea of fun? First, you get caught by a bird and now you're locked in a cage! Stupid!

Bane checked Nami's hands and Buggy approached Zoro, "You're definitely Zoro, Are you here for my head?"

Zoro barely acknowledged Buggy"Not Interested, I'm no longer a pirate hunter"

"But I do!" Buggy heard a voice.

Buggy turned his head and saw a man clad in black, "B-Black Zero!" Buggy was shocked, he knew who Bane was, he was famous in East Blue, but only limited people knew him, Bane turned his head and looked at Buggy, "Haha! If I kill both of you I will become famous!"

Buggy's crew began to cheer and encouraged him to kill Zoro and Bane. Zoro was about to drew his sword when he felt a gaze, he turned his head and saw Bane looking at him, Indicating he would take this fight, Zoro sighed turned around to help Luffy escape the cage.

Bane moved his head around and cracking sounds could be heard, he then looked at Buggy, "Shall we dance?"
