Chapter 57: Blackbeard Fucked up...

" YOU IDIOT! " Nami yelled and punched him again but this time with haki.

" What's that for? " Luffy shouted angrily and a violent aura pushed her aside. Every straw hat on board cringed at this. Except Robin, who quirked an eyebrow.

'Oh no… ' Thought Kaya. 'This is bad, he is loosing control. '

* Good kid, teach a lesson to this bitch. She is too arrogant, she dares to raise her hand against my Kurumi's host. She deserves a beating. *

But Luffy ignored Kurumi, as he was genuinely angry. He really couldn't tolerate someone beating him for no reason.

He had enough of her Princess complex, even after spending two years of time with his crew she didn't change her attitude, so he felt really annoyed.

Zoro smirked. ' Now the witch will think twice before randomly punching people. '

" Who do you think you are to punch me without any reason? Do you take me as a pushover or what!!! " Luffy angrily rebuked the dumbfounded Nami and stomped off towards the figurehead and sat down on it.

" Um, what was that if I may ask? " Robin asked the others after a few moments, " And why is everyone so nervous? "

" W-W-Well, Luffy is in a bad mood now." Kaya stuttered, " A-And that's scary. "

Reiju nodded seriously. Robin looked at them oddly.

" It's all Nami's fault. " Zoro told everyone.

" What was that? " Nami yelled with a twitch in her eye and a punch ready.

" Well, if you wouldn't punch people randomly, we wouldn't have to deal with a pissed off Luffy today. " He replied.

" It wasn't random! " she yelled. He shook his head.

" Maybe not, but to him it was. " Zoro replied.

" He was being stupid and it irritated me! " Nami yelled.

" Stupid, is your brain even working properly? " Zoro told her, " He is acting this way so that we can get along with him, but in reality he is a very ruthless person. "

" HE WOKE US UP AT 5 IN THE MORNING! " Nami retorted ane Zoro sighed.

" You're still on about that? " he asked. She glared at him.

"Well, he-" she began.

" If I may interject, Navigator-san, Swordsman-san! " Robin interrupted. Everyone looked at her, " I agree with Swordsman-san. "

Nami's face fell, while Zoro smirked.

" He might have waken you up for a stupid reason, but what he did afterward wasn't stupid at all." Robin told them, " He called Red-Haired Shanks, which was a conversation which I think everyone here was interested in, also he took your battle reports, which is a good thing for a captain to do. "

" Did you hear how he talked to him? " Nami asked her, " Are you telling me that's not stupid, Robin? "

Robin shook her head, " Red-Haired didn't seem to mind. In fact, he even sounded amused by it. " She told her. Nami sighed in defeat.

" Why are you even so nervous? " Robin then asked the question she was most interested in.

" Actually he won't tolerate anyone who crossed his bottomline. The first time this happened was on Samara Town, back in South Blue. " Reiju continued, " A Marine Rear Admiral injured Kaya very seriously, as a result Luffy became enraged and went on a killing spree. " Every new members kept listening attentively.

" It's true. Luffy is insanely strong." Reiju told them, " He's usually so cheerful and playful, but like I was saying, when that guy angered him he killed that man in the most cruelest way possible. From that day onwards we knew Luffy has two sides one which is a childish one and the second is a cruel and ruthless one. "

Robin nodded and asked, " Then what should we do now? " Reiju and Kaya looked at eachother and then Reiju said, " First Nami should apologise. Then Robin, you can flirt with him a little to calm him down. "

Robin was dumbfounded, " Excuse me.." Kaya interrupted her, " You will understand when you do so. " Robin was confused but still nodded.

It was minor incident. Soon Nami apologized and Robin spent some time with him. To her surprise Luffy immediately calmed down and started chatting with her pleasantly.

After thinking carefully Robin finally became clear of one thing, that was Luffy's romantic intrest in her. And strangely she also enjoyed his attention for some reason.

.....

After an unknown amount of time.

" We're near Mock Town! " Luffy yelled from the back, their ship then anchored at the town.

Luffy jumped off the ship and turned around.

" Hey Zoro! " he yelled, " Want to get a drink?! "

Zoro smirked, " Sure, Captain! " he replied and jumped off. Luffy had a hunch that after fighting with Nami, Zoro somehow became more open to him.

" Might I also come with you, Captain-san? " Robin asked. Everyone looked at her in confusion, but Luffy just grinned.

" Sure, Robin! " he replied. She went after them

.....

" There are a lot of different people! " Luffy started as they walked from the harbor of Mock town.

" Seems like a fun little town! " Zoro agreed. Robin nodded.

" This appears to be a Pirate town. I'm sure it'll be interesting. " She added. Luffy nodded but suddenly tensed up.

Zoro asked instantly, " What happened? " Luffy sighed, " Blackbeard is here in this town. "

" Excuse me, Captain-san, but what exactly did Blackbeard do? " Robin asked. Luffy looked at her.

" To me, nothing. " Luffy replied, " But he nearly killed one of my brothers' nakama. "

Robin looked at him and tried to say something, but something else got Luffy's attention. An old man fell off his horse in front of them.

' One of Blackbeard's nakama. ' Thought Luffy.

" Who is that? " Robin asked. Luffy shrugged.

" He fell off. " Luffy replied. Even though Luffy hated Blackbeard, his hate didn't really extend all that much to his nakama except that wrestler, since they had nothing to do with neither the betrayal nor Ace's defeat.

" Yep. Fell right off. " Zoro repeated with a sweat drop.

The man on the ground, Doc Q grunted as if in pain. He lifted his head and looked straight at Luffy.

" Hey, good folk." He asked, " Could you please help me? " Zoro and Luffy both sweat-dropped.

" You just don't feel like getting up! " Zoro replied in a deadpanned expression. The man grunted again.

" Luffy, get that side. " Zoro said. Luffy nodded and they grabbed Doc Q and threw him on the horse.

" Oh, sorry about that. " The man apologized. "I'm back up. I was born with a weak body. "

' Yeah right. ' Luffy thought.

" Now let's go, Stronger! " Doc Q commanded to his horse. The horse took a step forward and fell forward on the ground.

" THE HORSE TOO?! " Luffy and Zoro yelled. Robin giggled in the background. Then the horse somehow picked himself up.

" Forgive me for being such a bother. " Doc Q replied and offered a basket full of apples, " I'd like to repay you with those. Would you like one? " Zoro sweat-dropped.

" Hey, that's way too suspicious. We don't want any! Hurry up and get lost! " He said, but Luffy ignored his words and just went ahead and took one of the apples.

" Ooh, an apple! " Luffy said and took a bite. Just as he did that, something exploded in the background.

" Hey what happened?! " a random man asked.

" Some guys took some apples from some weird guy and as soon as they ate them, all five of them exploded. " Another replied.

Zoro and Robin looked at Luffy, who was munching on an apple. He swallowed and then started laughing, much to their bewilderment.

" Shishishishi! It seems I'm really lucky then! " he told the man and ate the rest of the apple. The man laughed.

"Exactly. You picked a dud. Otherwise you'd have died on the first bite." He told them. They walked past him. Zoro sighed.

" Seriously, Luffy!? " Zoro commented.

" Why did you take the apple, Captain-san? Didn't it seem suspicious to you? " Robin asked. Luffy waved his hand in dismissal.

" I'm higly resistant to poison and an explosion wouldn't have killed me. " Luffy told her and she shook her head.

" WHAT ABOUT US?! " Zoro yelled at him.

" Ah, right! " Luffy answered and gained a thoughtful expression. Then he punched his right fist on his left hand and said, "If an explosion did happen, i'd teleport to somewhere else. " Zoro and Robin sighed and continued walking.

After a while Luffy pointed at a bar and they headed towards it.

" Captain san you can go ahead, i want to buy some books from that store. " Robin said and pointed at a nearby shop. Luffy nodded and gave her some money. Robin walked towards the shop.

But then another man gained his attention. It was him, Blackbeard. Blackbeard just exited the bar. Luffy became angry while looking at his ugly face.

Luffy struggled to restrain himself as he walked towards the bar, Blackbeard coming in his direction. Zoro also noticed this and kept looking at him.

Blackbeard and Luffy passed each other. Luffy kept looking straight, while Blackbeard looked at him in interest.

' Fuck, if not for the plot this bastard would have died in my hand today. '

Then, as soon as they were a few feet away from each-other, Luffy lost control. For just a second, Kurumi's bloodthirsty aura was released. It was like a flick, but the other man noticed it.

Blackbeard stopped walking. Luffy stopped too.

Luffy looked over his shoulder and saw Blackbeard doing the same, however his expression seemed drastically different to Luffy's.

Luffy glared at him, but Blackbeard's eyes were wide. He was sweating. He actually looked frightened.

' Damn, I lost control. ' Thought Luffy, as he looked straight into Blackbeard's disbelieving eyes.

' What overwhelming bloodlust!!! ' thought Blackbeard. ' For a moment i felt like, i would die the moment i get near him. '

He finally composed himself and turned around fully. Luffy and Zoro followed his example.

" W-What's your name? " Blackbeard asked. Luffy relaxed his posture somewhat.

" I'm Monkey D Luffy. " He answered and Blackbeard's eyes widened.

' That's the guy who killed a Celestial Dragon and took one of Kizaru's arm. ' He thought. 'But I had no idea he was this powerful. I should avoid this guy. '

" Your name? " Luffy asked, altrough he already knew the answer.

" Marshall D Teach, okay see ya. " Blackbeard answered and walked away Luffy nodded.

But just as they were about to enter the restaurant, they heard Robin's screaming. Zoro turned around and his grin broadened.

' Hehe, Blackbeard you are fucked up. You dare to touch captain's woman, it will be fun to watch. ' Zoro thought.

" Zehahahaha...Nico Robin, i have finally found you. Now i can become a Shichibukai without any problem. " Luffy heard Blackbeard's laugh when he turned around.
