After eating lunch and everyone settled down for a rest, Nami approached the rubber kid Luffy while everypony else decided to do their own thing.
"Look... I'm really sorry for what I said earlier. Sometimes people say things that they don't really mean and it was wrong of me to take my anger out on you when I don't know jack shit... That could cause some problems..." Nami said with an apologetic look on her face.
"Hey no using bad words in front of our captain lady!" Pinkie called out as she gallops towards Nami with confrontation in her eyes. "I want to see some respectful people here and if you don't stop, So help me I'll...!!"
"PINKIE!!" Twilight scolded as she pulled the cotton candy mare aside with a disapproving look.
"Hehehe. Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie nodded with a cheerful smile to her alicorn friend as she trots towards the barrels of beer, much to the disapproval of the other ponies.
"I'm so useless... That guard dog Chouchou and everyone else fought really hard but I the freaking mayor didn't do a thing to save this town!" Mayor Boodle yelled out with much indignation and catching the attention of both Nami and Luffy.
"Mister Mayor calm down please!" Nami said as she tried to calm him down, even bringing a canteen of water to him.
"40 years ago this place was nothing more than a empty field after the death of our captain. Me and various other remnants of the Roger Pirates that ran away from the law after the crew was disbanded came here looking for a place to live and settle down. In order to follow the will of Roger and my samurai friend, everyone worked together to establish a community of housing and shops. That is how this town was born! The citizens along with every inch of this ground is a treasure for me! I can't let them do whatever they want with this town!"
"Wait you were friends with a samurai?!" Luffy asked with stars and glitters in his eyes, catching the attention of Rainbow Dash and everypony else.
"Well yes. It was a samurai from an enemy crew that decided to join us for the pursuit of his dream of opening up his country" Boodle explained referring to his close friend Kozuki Oden the samurai from Wano but not revealing his name or any other information to Straw Hat and his friends. Now is not the time for this.
As Luffy, Nami, Spike and the rest of the ponies were listening to Mayor Boodle's story, another Buggy Ball was fired as the mayor was beyond shock and appalled at the sight of his house blown up just like the rest of the town.
"Even my house..." Mayor Boodle cried hard as he pound a fist into the pavement and Pinkie trots over to him and gives the Mayor a handkerchief to sneeze on. "Awww don't worry about it Mayor Boodle. We can always reconstruct later. Houses can be replaced. Lives cannot." Pinkie said trying to comfort the mayor and spout some words of wisdom as she and the old man try to see if anything survived the bombardment.
Spike pulls out a bagpipe and began to play 'Amazing Grace' while everypony else put their hooves on their chest and shedding a tear with Applejack taking off her hat while Mayor Boodle was crying his tears out on the pavement resembling a funeral while Nami walks over to the mayor and puts a hand on his back as a way of comfort.
"Hey! That's where Zoro was resting up!" Luffy interrupted with a worried look as he began to scramble to look through the destroyed structure.
"Darn! We need to quickly get him out of there pronto!" Applejack said as she began to search through the debris.
"Hey! That's where Zoro was sleeping at!" Luffy exclaimed with shock as he looked upon the remains of the destroyed structure.
"Is he dead...?" The Mayor ask worriedly.
"Oi Zoro! Are you still alive in there?" Luffy yelled as Spike and everyone else quickly followed help with the search of their friend.
"What a horrible way to wake up... I just wanted to sleep for a few more hours..." Zoro grunted as he sits among the debris of the run down house trying to get all of the dust and dirt off his clothes much to the relief of everyone around.
"Wow you sure scared us for a moment dude." Spike said.
"Just... How are you alive?" Nami wondered.
"Would you rather him be dead?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow while Spike and everypony else looked at the Cat Burglar with a poker face.
"Zoro! I'm so glad that your alive! You've had me worried back there." Luffy said with a sigh of relief.
"Things like this are unforgivable... I can't take it anymore! They don't have any right to destroy our forty years of hard work! I'm the mayor of this town and I'm gonna protect it!" Mayor Boodle screamed as everyone else looked at him to give the senior citizen a moment of silence.
As he starts to ran off Nami quickly blocks his way. "W.. Wait a minute Mr. Mayor!"
"I have to fight like a man! Isn't that right kid?!" Mayor Boodle asked Luffy as the rubber kid quickly cheered for him with a raised fist. "That's right old man!"
"Luffy! What do you think your doing?! Don't encourage him! What can he do against that guy?!" Nami asked with an exasperated look.
"Yeah... Not to be a party pooper and all but... I don't think that would be a great idea either. It sounds kind of risky." Pinkie said with a nod as she agreed with Nami.
"This ain't over everyone. I did this to take care of the guard dog Chouchou. But now I'm gonna head straight back to their base and I'm gonna take out all of those pirates!" The Mayor exclaimed in a fiery speech which made Luffy root for him more, much to the disappointment of Spike and everypony else.
"Hey look." Spike interrupted as he walks in front of Mayor Boodle to talk some sense into him. "You go into the barrio with that big willy bullshit, and you gonna get shredded." Everypony else nodded in agreement while Zoro was neutral in this scenario but Nami was totally against it.
Twilight glared at Spike for using such language, making the purple drake stepped back before the alicorn princess sighed. "Excluding the massively INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE... I think that Spike is right Mr. Mayor... Why don't you let us handle this. Stay back and have a cup of tea. We can..."
"Relax man." Spike said as he puts a claw on the Mayor's arm trying to slowly calm down Boodle. "Its gonna get handled when its time. We just have to plan things out and..."
"I know that its risky!" Boodle interrupted the purple drake with tears flying out of his eyes as Nami looked at him eyes wide opened making her grip loose on the old man. "Just you wait Buggy the clown! I'm coming to kick your ass! Ahhhh!" Boodle yelled out with a battle cry as he ran off with a lance in his hand. His signature weapon.
"The Mayor... He was crying..." Nami said with concern after seeing him ran off.
"Really? I didn't really notice." Luffy replied.
"It looked like he was furious and ready to fight it out." Zoro added.
"Shishishishishi! Yeah it looks like it! Hahahaha!" Luffy laughed.
"Come on Luffy! This is not the time to laugh off!" Nami scolded the rubber kid as a vein starts throbbing in her forehead.
"Don't worry about it. I like that old man. I'm not going to let him get killed." Luffy reassured Nami with a determined smile.
"Not if we have anything to say about it Darling." Rarity joined in.
"If you two say so..." Zoro added as he pulls out one of his katanas before putting it back in his scabbard and walking away.
"Wait your also going?!" Nami asked Rarity as she saw Zoro making his way into battle.
"We are all going partner." Applejack replied walking past Nami followed by everyone else.
"But you are all injured! Your all hurt. Badly hurt to be exact! Your even missing two of your nakamas! " Nami exclaimed with a worried look.
"This injury I have on my body has nothing on the gash that's been inflicted on my reputation." Zoro said as he looks back at Nami with a bandana over his head.
"After getting tossed around in a fight like a rag doll, Ah ma gettin some payback." Applejack added as she adjusts her Stetson hat, shadows covering her eyes.
"Our goal is to head out into the Grand Line so we're going to recover that map from those pirates and we're not letting anyone hold us back!" Luffy said as he turned to Nami to extend a hand. "Be our Nakama Nami!"
Nami looked at the rubber kid with a frown. "You guys can be as nice as you want." Nami said as she looked at Twilight and everypony else as the ponies rolled their eyes with a smile.
"But I will not be a pirate. Hahahaha!" Nami laughed as she slapped Luffy's hand away. "But I will work with you for the good of our goals and that's that.
"The second bomb is ready to fire! Stat!" One of Buggy's pirate goons reported to his captain with a salute.
"Alright then! Commence all out artillery bombardment!" Buggy ordered but the rest of his pirate crew got amused as they saw the new arrival on their turf.
"Buggy the Clown! Show yourself you brat!" Mayor Boodle yelled as he spun his lance in the air with his two hands before slamming it on the ground and leaving behind cracks on the pavement whilst huffing and puffing hard from all the running around. "I'm the Mayor of this town Boodle and I won't hesitate to take you down to protect this precious town! I'm challenging you to a duel Buggy!" The old man shouted.
"Ha?! Are you stupid?! The only precious things here are gold! What's this about the town being a treasure?! Stop saying nonsense you old man!" Buggy yelled back.
"A bastard like you could never comprehend this anger that's burning within my chest! How could you end up like this Buggy?! What do you think Captain Roger would think if he saw you like this?!" Boodle ranted but he was suddenly cut off when the sinister clown suddenly shot his hand towards the Mayor's neck and lifts him up by the neck.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO MENTION CAPTAIN ROGER IN MY PRESCENCSE YOU WORTHLESS WORM!" Buggy screamed furiously. "Don't you know who I am?! I'm the man that will enter the Grand Line and be King of the Pirates! I'll soon rise to be the most powerful and wealthiest pirate in the world and I'm not going to hesitate killing anyone in my way! SO DON'T YOU DARE TO THINK YOU CAN EVER LECTURE ME AGAIN LIKE YOU USED TO YOU DAMN OLD GEEZER!"
Mayor Boodle was breathing hard with sweat dripping down his forehead from being suffocated. Buggy was gripping Boodle's neck so hard that if the Mayor didn't unleashed his armament haki at the last second to try and separate Buggy's fingers. He would have easily break his neck but the lack of oxygen in his windpipe still made the situation difficult before the cruel clown released Boodle and threw him on the pavement.
"Gyahahaha! To think that of all the places in the East Blue I would casually stumble, Your going to be the one who stand in my way... Its you Boodle! Its funny how time itself plays with fate for a pirate's life." Buggy said with a sinister grin. "I've already made you an offer to join my crew and help me grew the wealth so that you may reap the rewards but you still refuse me time and time and time again. We could be swimming in a mountain of wealth and..."
"No! I already told you that I'm not going to let you harm the citizens of this place nor will I let you destroy this town! You Brat!" Boodle said cutting off Buggy and his grand plan monologue which irritated the pirate clown once more.
"Oh yeah?! Since this little town is oh so important to you then how about I just let you disappear with it right here right now huh?! How would you like that eh Boodle?"
"Before you do that, your going to have to take this old man down." Mayor Boodle said with a grin, deciding to go all out every enemy pirate in this fight and if he dies then so be it.
"Come on now. Don't make me laugh. I'm trying to be serious here and..."
"I'm not going to let you destroy this town even if it costs me my life so quit your yabbering and kill me right now you clown nose brat!! Gaahh!!!" Mayor Boodle yelled.
"Ha?! Are you for real?! Just look at you! Maybe your weren't nothing compared to them but at least you used to be a lot stronger than this!" Buggy exclaimed as he tightened his grip in Boodle's neck even more. "All these years and you were just living a weak and pathetic life in this backwater little town sure has weakened you down!" Buggy said in a mocking tone at the old man who used to raised him and be a father figure to him in the Roger Pirates with Shanks. "Enough of stalling shit in my turf!! DIE!!!" Buggy yelled as he threw Mayor Boodle in the pavement once more and ordered his pirate goons to attack the retired pirate to dispose him once and for all.
“YOU HEARD THE MAN!! KILL THIS OLD TIMER ONCE AND FOR ALL!!” One of the pirate goons from Buggy’s crew yelled out as hundreds upon hundreds of armed men charged the retired pirate from Roger’s Era but he took them down one by one.
One of Buggy’s pirate crew tried to slice his head off with a sword but Boodle ducks his head before proceeding to stab him in the stomach while another one attempts to stab him in the neck with a dagger but Boodle just crouches on the ground before proceeding to stab the man in the chest with his spear.
“Take him down on the left side while we blast him from the right side!!” Another one of the fodder pirates ordered as a long line of guys shower the fighting mayor with a hail of bullets but Boodle just charges straight into them with Black Armament Haki coating his entire body and stabbing the Buggy Pirate gunners while spinning his spear around and slicing the Melee guys, some of the pirates has their arms, legs, and neck sliced off while others had been received multiple stabbings in the chest and the stomach as Boodle showed showed great skill in both Observation and Armament Haki.
“What are you doing you idiots?! I told you to kill him at all costs!! We shall not be defeated by one measly old man!!!” Cabaji yelled out as he turned to the rest of the Buggy Pirates that are in operation of the artillery. “What are you waiting for?! Fire!!! Fire!!! Fire!!!” Cannons were fired at Boodle, not even stopping to take a rest as the artillery just kept reloading and fire, reloading and fire simultaneously at the massacre that was going on in the middle. “I don’t think this is enough to bring him down Cabaji.” Buggy exclaimed.
Just then Luffy, Zoro and Nami arrived with Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Spike to see the former crew member of the Roger Pirates fight entire hordes of Buggy Pirates all by himself even though he was shot at and sliced by one pirate goon or another, he would always dodge and strike back with even greater force. Though there was something strange about him. Even though he was wearing armor earlier, his entire body looks black and gray with a texture of steel to it from Twilight’s observation but neither she nor Luffy have any idea about Haki at this point. “I wonder what kind of power he has.” Twilight exclaimed before his number one assistant answered her. “I don’t know Twilight but all I know is that he’s pretty powerful for an old man.You can always ask him later.” Spike said earning a bright smile and a glimmer of an eye from the purple pony princess.
“Yeehaw!! You go get them partner!!” Applejack cheered on with high waving of her hat as Mayor Boodle is seen defeating every single Buggy fodder pirate that was just being thrown at him.
“You show those uncouth and savage brutes what for when someone messes with your pet and this lovely town.” Rarity said with elegance and finesse.
“Yeah that’s right!! No one will think twice about attacking this town while your the mayor in charge around here!! Beat them up and show them a new meaning of pain!!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she pumped her hooves up in the air and does a high five with Luffy.
“See? There’s nothing to worry about you guys. It seems like the old man has this fight going for him!” Luffy exclaimed as he watches the fight with excitement and intrigue, having stars in his eyes.
As the other pony members of the Straw Hats are watching the fight, Pinkie Pie jumps into the air in different poses, wearing a cheerleading outfit and two pompoms while Spike was flying high into the air and waving a flag. “Give me a B. Give me an O. Give me an O give me a D. Give me an L, Give me an E!! Give the meanie baddies a good beating and save the day!! Go Boodle!!” Pinkie cheered with excitement with the other ponies who were just scarfing down food and drinking beer with Luffy at the heat of the moment.
“AHHH!!!” Boodle growled like a rabid dog as he transforms into a Hybrid Poodle showing he wields the ‘Dog Dog Fruit: Model Poodle’ Zoan Type and charges towards the blasting cannons and kills all the pirates in the artillery crew with massive cuts and large stabs to the vitals using his spear man wielding techniques, making the rest of the Buggy Pirate fodder crew ran off and hide behind barrels, crates, tables, chairs, abandoned houses and other places where they would be out of the fight while others decide to play dead. ‘WHO WANTS SOME MORE HUH?!! I SAID WHO WANTS SOME YOU PIRATE CLOWNS!!! YOU DON’T KNOW THE TRUE TERROR OF FREAKING PIRATES THE OLD DAYS!!! HOW ABOUT IT HUH?!!! FIGHT ME!!!” Mayor Boodle snarled, growling furiously turning into an enormous Full Form Rabid Poodle as he trashes the cannons around, throwing them at the enemy pirates much to the horror and excitement of the Straw Hats and the Mane 6 including Spike.
“I knew that this old man won’t go down that easily from what I can remember Cabaji!!” Buggy said with such intensity to his Pirate Chief of Staff. “I should have killed him earlier when I got the chance and not let him drop to the ground and fight some more!!” Buggy exclaimed as he grabbed unto his Officer’s scarf and looks at him in the eye much to the fear of the other Buggy Pirates. “He is “Mad Dog Boodle” of the Roger Pirates!! The Creme De La Creme and the Crowning Jewel of all the fodder crew in Roger’s Crew!! A man attacks like a rabid dog when he gets serious enough!! He’s been called to be a Murderer of Marines!! I knew that he just wasn’t some old dog… He was one of my mentors after all…” The Pirate Clown exclaimed with irritation at how the current battle was turning out for him.
“Grrr.. I said enough!!!” Buggy yelled out loud, catching the attention of everyone as his voice echoed throughout Orange Town much to the surprise of the ponies around them including Mayor Boodle who took a second to see all the troops from the Buggy Pirates that he just took down as the old man took a second to pull out his inhaler for his condition when the Clown Captain quickly shot his right hand of multiple daggers at Boodle but at the last minute...
"Gaah!! What the?!" Buggy exclaimed as he saw Luffy grabbing the clown's hand with one of his one while grabbing the old man with the other. Alongside Straw Hat Luffy were Nami, Zoro, Spike and the Mane 6 with confrontation in their eyes. "Damn it! Its Straw Hat and those bunch of weirdos!"
"Hey! The only weirdo I see here is you!" Spike responded back making Twilight and her friends laugh.
"Ha?! What did you just say to me you little punk?!" Buggy yelled out as he was about to jump from the roof up above just to smack Spike on the back of his head.
"Shishishishi! Good! As I promised, I came back here to kick your butt!" Luffy exclaimed with a big smile as he gripped Buggy's hand tighter.
"Grrr..." Buggy growled as he tried to get his missing hand back but in the end, Luffy just let go and his clown hand returns to him. "You damn fools have a lot of nerve coming all the way here to fight against Captain Buggy!"
"Woah... That was a good fight that you've had old man!" Luffy exclaimed with a bright smile as Mayor Boodle was being tended by Twilight and her friends.
"That was a fight that you've put your life on the line for us soldier. I couldn't be more amazed." Spike said with a salute at the old man who was trying to catch his breath.
"Amazing? That was spectacular! I've never seen an old guy take on hordes of enemies like that before! For being a former member of the Roger Pirates like he told in his stories, He's in a class of his own!" Rainbow Dash said with praise as she begins doing twist and turns in the sky.
"I... I just don't want you kids to get hurt... I... I want to gamble everything on w.. what's really worth fighting for." Boodle said with tears in his eyes and everyone appreciated his heroic moment all the more.
Nami then looked at the Straw Hats then proceeds to remind them of her deal. "Now just to remind you guys, All I want is the map and the treasure here but I'm still not part of your gang.
"Yeah. I got it." Zoro replied.
"And as long as we can keep cooperating and be friends, I'm happy with that Darling." Rarity agreed.
Boodle then tries to stand up once more and with a final push of his inhaler, he grabs his spear much to the shock of Twilight and everyone else at the sight of his condition as the old man wanted to fight more. "Now watch this old timer go all out! This is my fight! This is my town and I'm gonna protect it! Ahhh!!!" Mayor Boodle forced himself to charge into action even though he was clearly tired and exhausted. "Watch how a former Roger Pirates, Meets his death!! Gaahhh!!!"
Luffy however just slammed his head against a wall and left him unconscious as everyone else looked at the rubber kid with shock.
"What the hell was that for just now?! Why did you do that to Mr. Mayor?!" Nami asks with an angered look.
Luffy just turned around and told Nami straight to her face. "He was hindering."
Nami just looked at Luffy with utter disbelief.
"Good thinking." Zoro said. "If that old man were to fight more in his current condition, he would have died for sure. This is for the best."
"Like hell it was!" An angered chibi Nami said to Zoro before turning towards Luffy. "And you! Don't be so impulsive! There are better ways to do these things!"
"Well either way, What's done is done. Better focus now on what we have ahead. "Applejack said, Facing Buggy on top of the Pub Building.
Pinkie Pie then approached the unconscious old man and left some candy that she took from her mane and puts it in Mayor Boodle's pocket. "Sorry..." Pinkie whispered to him.
"Luffy then walked towards Buggy before inhaling a breathe and yells out loud. "Alright then, lets settle this once and for all... YOU BIG NOSE!!!!" Luffy screamed out as Nami and everyone else had their jaws dropped to the ground in utter shock and disbelief.
"You didn't need to say that!" Nami facepalmed and groaned at Luffy's antics.
"You damn idiot! How dare you talk to me like that?! Fire the Buggy Bomb now!" Buggy furiously ordered and the pirates quickly aimed their cannon towards them.
"Stupid!! Why did you have to say that?!" Nami exclaimed as she starts running away.
"Hey Luffy!! Its time to run!!" Zoro addend trying to warn his captain.
"Yeah, That sounds like a really good idea right now!" Spike said as he starts flying off.
"Don't worry. I'm not running away anytime soon." Luffy said as he prepares to brace the impact.
"I'LL KILL YOU STRAW HAT!!!" Buggy yelled out as the Buggy Bomb was fired. "OH YEAH?! BRING IT ON!!!" Luffy yelled back.
"I knew that you were weird since you fought that lion! Humans can't do that! Now explain it clearly!" Nami exclaimed
trying to comprehend what she just saw. "That balloon that you just made... What was that?!"
"That was my Gomu Gomu Balloon!" Luffy proudly replied.
"I wasn't asking for the name you monster!" Nami said with an annoyed look.
"Woohoo! That looked super fun! Do it again!" Pinkie jumped around in her usual enthusiastic manner.
"Heh sure! Why not?" Luffy replied with a grin as he inflated himself once more. "Gumo Gomu Balloon!"
"Waah! Don't just go doing that again!" Nami complained to not having acustomed to see something like that in her life. Afraid that Luffy might pop.
"Hehehehe, I just got some funny ideas!" Pinkie happily said as she began to casually poke Luffy's inflated belly.
"Wow now that's an awesome power!" Spike addend as he flies over to Luffy and the curiousity soon got to the baby dragon and he also started to poke Luffy.
"And you just gone and done poke him like that... You are all insane..." Nami said as the cat burglar turned into her chibi form looking nervously.
"Meh... You get used to it pretty soon Darling." Rarity said dismissively as she watch the shenanigans that was happening around Luffy beside Nami.
"Pfft... Hahahahaha!!" Luffy couldn't resist any longer and deflated. "Hahahaha!!" If you keep doing that, I'm not going to be able to hold it any longer!!" The rubber kid laughed loudly from feeling ticklish.
"Well... Well... Well.... Look at them chatting and laughing around like you punks aren't aren't scared. A voice said from the debris of the building that Buggy and his crew just got blasted into as the smoke revealed Buggy grabbing two of his pirate crew with his hands while Cabaji grabbed Richie in the same manner of protecting himself.
"He used his own pirates as shields!" Nami said with shock.
"Now that's despicable!" Applejack complained.
Another prominent pirate suddenly rose up from the debris and it was no other than Beast Tamer Mohji. "Eh..? What just happened...?" The Beast Tamer asked as he looks around before quickly spotting Luffy. "Ahh! Its you!"
"Hello there!" Luffy said greeting him with a smile.
"Oh no!! Its that Straw Hat kid! Captain Buggy, Watch out! He has the power of a devil fruit and he is a rubber person!" Mohji warned Buggy.
"A rubber person you say?" Buggy inquired.
"A rubber person?" Nami question Luffy.
"Yeah! Its like this!" Luffy grinned as he proceeds to stretch his face with his fingers. "Bleeh!!"
"Nami looked at Luffy with horror while Pinkie Pie had stars and sparkles in her eyes. "Wow! I can do that too! Bleeh!!" Pinkie said as she stretches her own mouth with her hooves much making Nami even more frightened.
"Woah did you also ate the Gum Gum Fruit?!" Luffy asks with excitement.
"Well no. At least I don't think so. I don't remember that there were any devil fruits back in Equestria and the last time I checked, I was still able to swing. I just knew I could always do that. Pinkie said as she puts on a pair of glasses and a book, thinking deeply with a pipe on her mouth blowing bubbles.
"Hey its her! Hi Dashie!" Pinkie exclaimed happily as the rainbow maned pegasus flies towards them with a wave of a hoof.
"That must have meant she and Twilight managed to get Fluttersh saved!" Spike said in a optimistic manner.
"Cabaji!! Damn you!!" Mohji exclaimed as he ran towards Cabaji to deliver a punch a Cabaji arched his back, dodging it and countered by giving Mohji a single kick that sends him flying towards the group.
"Waah! Out of the way!" Mohji yelled as he flies over to them but Luffy has his leg ready.
"NO! YOU GET OUT OF THE WAY!!" Luffy grinned as he kicks Mohji in the face and sends him crashing in the other direction where he slams into a wall and breaking it in the process.
"Woah those were both some good kicks!" Rainbow Dash complimented with a smirk.
"Hey RD what's the situation with Fluttershy being treated back at the Evacuation Center and with Twilight's request to the townspeople? Applejack asked her friend.
"Fluttershy is already being attended to and so far she seems stable. And as for me being here. Well, I couldn't just leave you guys here so I ask Twilight back there to stay with Fluttershy for me!" Rainbow explained.
"Captain Buggy pleae let me be in charge of them!" Cabaji called out.
"Heh very well. Go for it! Show them your acrobatics!" Buggy said as Cabaji smiled as he puts one sword in his mouth and proceeds to take another from his throat and stomach.
"Are you for real?! That's so awesome!" Rainbow said being really impressed with Cabaji's techniques.
"This is not the best time to praise the enemy!" Nami reprimanded the rainbow maned pegasus.
"Sorry sis. I gotta give credit to what is rightfully sick. Rainbow answered back.
Cabaji then jumps high, mounted in a unicycle under the surprised looks of everyone and landed on the ground to charge towards them. "I'm the Buggy Pirate Fleet's Chief of Staff 'Cabaji the Acrobat!"
"Hey you stop right there!" Rainbow exclaimed as she charges back towards Cabaji to deliver him a flying kick. "Hiya!!!"
"Out of the way flying rainbow mini horse!" Cabaji calls out as he jumps on his unicyle before proceeding to stand on one foot while the unicycle still advanced as he jumps and spins in mid air to dodge Rainbow's flying kick and lands right back in the unicycle to continue his attack.
"Okay now, I legit don't know if we are fighting pirates or a circus clown. A beast tamer and and now an acrobat? What's next? A magician and her assistant? Spike commented on the action.
"Brrr!" Pinkie exclaimed as her body shivers for a second there. "My Pinkie Sense suddenly tingled a little at that. How weird...." Pinkie muttered.
"I'll avenge the pain that you have caused to my fleet!" Cabaji said as he was about to strike Luffy but then Zoro jumps in the way and intercepted the attack with one of his own swords.
"If its a fight on swords then I'm all for it." Zoro smirked.
"Ahh Roronoa Zoro. As a fellow swordsman, Its an honor." Cabaji said recognizing him.
"Hey Zoro, I think you should rest for now and leave this to us." Luffy said as he examined Zoro's wound.
"I must agree Dear, You certainly are in no condition to fight like that!" Rarity agreed.
"Hah?! So that's the injury that he took when he fought the Captain. Does he really plan to resist that pain and fight? What a fool! Cabaji thought as he prepared to attack. "Acrobat Technique: Fire Trick!" Cabaji exclaimed as he pulls down his scarf and blew fire into Zoro's face.
"Woah Dude fire breathing too!?" Rainbow exclaimed excitedly.
"Pffft... So what? You've seen me do it all the time!" Spike replied with a scoff.
"Well yeah but you're a dragon! It make sense that you can do that but for literally anyone else its so cool!" Dash countered.
Meanwhile, Zoro stepped back because of the fire and Cabaji seized the opportunity by kicking Zoro right on his wound making the swordsman yell in pain.
"Hah?! Come on now! I didn't even kicked you that hard! That would sure is worse that what I imagined." Cabaji said in a mocking manner as he saw Zoro's current state.
Cabaji then strikes his sword in the pavement as an opening for another attack to his opponent. "Acrobatic Technique: Murder Mist Trick!" Cabaji said as he began to spin around, making a cloud of smoke and dirt in the process.
"Grrr... What is this?! The rodeo?!" Zoro grunted as he quickly blocks a surprise attack from Cabaji under the smoke but the acrobat saw an opening and gave him another kick to his stomach would making the swordsman roll on the ground and more blood splattered out.
"That bastard did it again!!" Nami exclaimed much to the shock and indignation of Spike and everypony else.
"Okay now that's not cool at all! If its going to be like that then I'm joining in!" Rainbow exclaimed as she tried to zip in and help Zoro but something from behind suddenly grabbed her left back leg.
"Hey! What gives?! Let me go!" Rainbow complained as she tried to pull her back leg.
"No. Luffy simply said to the rainbow maned pegasus.
"Don't worry partner! We got you!" Applejack said as she, Rarity, and Spike were going to step in the fight but Luffy extended his arm and blocked their way.
"DON'T INTERFERE IN THIS FIGHT!! THIS IS ZORO'S BATTLE!!" Luffy yelled. "This is Zoro's fight! We must leave him be and give trust to our friend!"
Everyone got surprised by these words and the intensity in Luffy's voice as he said this so everyone backed off as their captain blocked them from helping Zoro.
"What's wrong? A grown man rolling around and crying loudly is an absolutely pitiful sight." Cabaji said mocking Zoro.
"Because of your partner's odd power, we've suddenly gone to pieces. Even though your a pirate hunter, making the Buggy Pirate Fleet your enemy was a big mistake. Now Roronoa Zoro, Its time for you to go to the next world!" Cabaji exclaimed as he charged towards Zoro in his unicycle.
"You annoying bastard..." Zoro said as he tried to get up. "Is tearing u my wound that much fun?!" He said as Cabaji was going to hit him but the moss haired swordsman did not move an inch and Cabaji ends up hitting him in the wound with his sword which shocked that sights of everyone.
"B... But why didn't he dodge it?!" Nami exclaimed loudly.
"I... It hit in directly in the... Ahhh..." Rarity could not find the words to describe what she saw and just fainted, and for the lack of her couch, Applejack had to catch her.
"My goal is to become the World's Greatest Swordsman..." Zoro said as he stood his ground and did not mind the cut in his now messed up wound. "Now are you satisfied?" Zoro asks Cabaji as he prepared an attack of his own. "Because I'm about to show you the great difference in skill between us!"
"Waahh so cool!"Luffy said impressed by his swordsman.
"Come on Zoro! You got this!" Spike said as he cheered him on.
"Give him a lesson!" Applejack joined in.
"Roronoa Zoro... You impudent fool!" Cabaji muttered.
"Just by looking at him, I feel like he's going to collapse any second now..." Nami said with a worried look.
"To anyone that calls himself a swordsman, I won't allow myself to lose to them not even once!" Zoro loudly proclaimed, ganing him a round of cheers from Luffy and his friends.
"Heh... That's a great determination that you've got there, I'll give you that but don't worry. Fighting me with such a grave injury upon yourself, anyone would understand why you lost here so its not a bad idea ot use that as an excuse." Cabaji exclaimed with a smirk.
"Nonsense! If I loose to the likes of you just for this injury then I would never be able to go forward!" Zoro answered back, striking a pose with his own blood splattered all over his leg and one of his swords.
"Tsk... Why you little bitch!!" Cabaji muttered getting even more angry at Zoro's determination.
As the battle raged on, Nami spotted something in the corner and tapped Luffy in the shoulder. "Hey!"
"Yeah? What is it?" Luffy asked her.
"Behind the destroyed pub, There's a warehouse and I bet their treasure is there." She said, pointing to said warehouse with her thumb. "And the map to the Grand Line must still be with Buggy since all these pirates are still unconscious. Now I'll use this moment to sneak in and after that I'll make my escape."
"So... You're leaving?" Spike questioned the cat burglar.
"Yeah.. We've already gone through this remember? I'm not your ally and I'm not your nakama so whether you guys win or lose the fight, It has nothing to do with me." Nami said with a smirk as she walked towards the warehouse.
"But if you girls manage to fulfill your part and get the map, lets cooperate again when that happens alright?" Nami said with a wink. "Go and have a good fight." The cat burglar added as she continued sneaking to the warehouse.
"Alright then, See ya!" Luffy waved goodbye.
"Is it really alright to just let her go like that? We still need a navigator Luffy." Twilight said.
"It will be okay. I promise. You heard her right?" Luffy said as he cracked his knuckles. "All we got to do is defeat this clown and get the map to the Grand Line. We've got plenty of time so I'm confident that I can convince her to be our nakama."
"Right... Win..." Applejack sighs as she takes a look at Luffy's confidence.
"Have a taste of the best trick that I have!" Cabaji exclaimed as he threw three spinning tops on one arm. "Acrobat Technique: One Hundred Tops Typhoon!" The acrobat called out as throws multiple spinning tops towards Zoro but the swordsman didn't lower his guard and prepared to counter them.
"Acrobat Technique: Wall Riding!" Cabaji said as he takes advantage of the current distraction and climbs up a wall of the house while riding on his unicycle.
"Woah and with a freaking unicle of all things..." Rainbow Dash marveled.
"Okay... I have to admit that was kind of cool." Spike added.
Zoro meanwhile was cutting the sipping tops in half as they were shot at him and when Cabaji reached the end of the wall, the impulse sends him high in the air. "Acrobat Technique: Mortal Jump!"
"Woah that was so high!" Luffy exclaimed upon seeing Cabaji's high jump attack.
"Direct Stab!!" Cabaji yelled out as he starts to fall down with his sword pointed towards Zoro's head who was directly under him.
"Ground Runner: Bara Bara Cannon!" Buggy exclaimed as he suddenly seized the chance that he was seeking during this whole fight, using his powers to fire off his hand towards Zoro's leg. "Cabaji! I'll keep him in place! Finish him!"
"As you wish Captain!" Cabaji answered back as he falls down from the air to stab Zoro.
"Grrrr... Curse you...!" Zoro thought as he realized that he would not have enough time to get out of the way before Buggy catch up to him.
But then Rainbow Dash charges foward and stomped on Buggy's hand. "Hey what do you think your doing there buster?!"
"Gyaahh!! My hand!!" Buggy yells out in pain as Rainbow tries to crush his hand with more emphasis. "Going somewhere clown?" The rainbow maned pegasus asked with a smirk.
"Good work Dash!" Luffy said giving Rainbow a thumbs up before turning to Buggy. "And you! Don't interfere with Zoro's fight!"
"Damn it..." Buggy grunted as Rainbow finally let his hand go.
"It doesn't matter because even without the Captain's help, I'm going to end you anyway!" Cabaji said as he was about to crash down but Zoro managed to evade him at the last second with Cabaji's sword being impaled in the pavement.
"Huff... Puff..." Zoro panted as he tried to regain his composure with his exhausted body. "I have to stop him now... My body is tired as hell..." Zoro exclaimed but upon hearing him, Cabaji laughed.
"Your tired! Hahahaha! Are you getting Anemia or something? So you've finally given up... I for one admit that I'm impressed with how you've been fighting with the injuries that you've sustained but its good to see you finally coming to your senses and see the reality of the situation!" Cabaji gloated more but Zoro interrupted him.
"Shut up! I'm just saying that I'm tired of your stupid acrobatic tricks!" Zoro said as he stands his ground once more and looked even more threatening than before.
"Hah?!!" Cabaji looked pissed about what Zoro said about his techniques. "Very well then!" Cabaji said as he prepared his sword. "I'll finish you with my true sword abilities! DIE!!" Cabaji screamed as he charges towards Zoro in his unicycle.
"Cabaji!!" Buggy worriedly go over to his comrade's body and saw his fatal injuries.
"That's impossible... Buggy's fleet... Has been defeated by a bunch of bandits..." Cabaji exclaimed as he dropped unconscious on the floor.
"We aren't mere bandits... We're freaking pirates!!" Zoro loudly proclaimed as Spike and the rest of the ponies immediately rushed to his side with the permission of their captain who understood that the fight was over.
"Hey Luffy...? I'm gonna go sleep for a while okay...?" Zoro simply said before closing his eyes and falling to the ground.
"Hehehe... Hey he's kinda like you Dash!" Applejack chuckled as she casually jabbed her rainbow maned friend.
"Oh stop it AJ! Who doesn't like to take naps every once in a while?" Rainbow Dash defended herself having a cute pout on her face, blushing bright red.
"Sure thing Zoro. You go and sleep. I'm finishing this once and for all." Luffy said facing Buggy with a confident smile.
"Now wait a second there!! So in reality you guys are pirates and not thieves like that girl Nami was saying?!" Buggy asked with wide eyes as he took a step back.
"You bet clown! We're pirates alright!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed proudly.
"Yeah, What she said! Now hand over the map to the Grand Line!" Luffy said as he extended his hand.
"So that was your goal huh... That place isn't exactly somewhere nameless pirates like yourself can go as they please! I would know since I've already been there! So what are you planning to do there?! Wanna go have a sight seeing tour?!"
"I'm going to be King of the Pirates!" Luffy stated with a serious look in his eyes.
"And we're going to accompany him for as long as we can!" Twilight stated and all her friends responded in unison, preparing to face the pirate clown.
"Buggy just went completely baffled with a rather funny expression. "Ahh... Ahh... DON'T KID AROUND YOU IDIOTIC FOOLS!! YOU WILL BECOME THE PIRATE KING?! THEN I WILL MAKE MYSELF A GOD!!" Buggy exclaimed as he yelled in Luffy's face with daggers in his hands before turning to face Twilight and her friends. "And your all going to help him?! Don't make me laugh!! What are six pastel colored ponies and some weird flying lizard gonna do past the Grand Line?! All of you wouldn't make it alive and last a second over there!! THE ONLY ONE WHO'S GOING TO GET ALL THE WORLD'S TREASURES IS ME!! DON'T EVEN DREAM ABOUT IT YOU DUNDERHEADS!!" Buggy yelled so loud that his voice could be heard all over Orange Town and all the way to the Evacuation Center.
"Shut up already! Skip the lecture and let's start! Your being too loud you idiot!" Luffy said as he prepared to fight but Twilight and her friends laughed at Luffy calling Buggy an idiot, causing the pirate clown to get even more mad. Having veins really popped out from his forehead. "Grrr... Well see who has the last laugh you punk ass kids..."
"And besides you should already know that we aren't as delicate as we may seem you brute." Rarity said with contempt.
"Hehehehe! Rarity's so purdy when she talks like that..." Spike said as he began jumping around Rarity with joy and having hearts in his eyes causing the rest of the ponies to giggle.
"Awww... Do you really mean that Spikey Wikey?" Rarity asked as she flutters her eyes and gives Spike a kiss on the cheek causing the baby dragon to blush bright red. "Do you really think that I'm still pretty even without my dresses?"
"Hey!! Hey!! Hey!! Shut up and listen to me!!" Buggy yelled out causing Luffy and the ponies who are playing around to take one second to look at the notorious pirate clown. "Better watch your mouth rubber kid and ponies. "Buggy said with a laugh. "For I'm not kidding about the Grand Line... Damn your insolence... And also seeing that straw hat reminds me of that guy I knew some time ago... The impudent Red Haired Guy..."
"Red Haired...?" Luffy wondered.
Spike exclaimed with curiousity on his mind.
"No way... He'sway to cool to be hanging around him and for that to be true..." Rainbow Dash countered and Buggy who felt offended for some reason gave the rainbow maned pegasus a stern look. Not that Rainbow Dash noticed or cared at all for some reason.
"So you know Shanks?" Luffy asked, finally bringing the question that was in everyone's minds.
"Huh? What's this...? It looks like you guys and gals are really interested in that Red Hair." Buggy said as a smile starts to curve on his face. "I indeed know him for who he is but why would you boys and girls want to know?"
"Where is he?" Luffy directly asked him.
"Where you ask...? If I know then I know and if I don't know then I also wouldn't know at all..."
"Eh?! What are you saying? Are you an idiot?" Luffy asked Buggy, not understanding a single word of what the pirate clown just said.
"Yeah dude... Are you a moron...? You have have hit your head when you were a baby" Spike said causing the ponies to giggle.
"What do you mean idiot and hit your head hard?! You uncivilized buffoons!!" Buggy yelled out causing his parts to separate as the pirate clown's head started steaming with an angered look.
"For a clown he sure has a short fuse..." Pinkie Pie muttered and her friends nodded.
Buggy then pulls out eight set of knives that he held between his fingers and smiled again. "What I'm saying is that I'm not a nice enough guy to tell you information that you want to know even if its your last wish before you die..."
"Then I'll just beat the answers out of you!" Luffy said as he prepared his fist for an attack.
"Yeah! You better prepare yourself to spit it clown!" Rainbow said as she starts creating a large gust of wind with her wings.
"Gyahahahaha! Before you hear it..." Buggy said as he stomped a foot into the ground and from the point of his shoes came sharp blades. "All of you are going to be dead soon. Even though your made of rubber, there are still some things that aren't going to bounce off."
"Yeah that's right." Luffy said and nodded.
"Hey don't just confirm it to him! What are you thinking Luffy?!" Spike and his friends thought as drops of sweat trickled down from their foreheads.
Luffy and his friends responded quickly and scattered in different directions to hide and got out of the way of Buggy's attack.
"Darn that was close..." Applejack said huffing and panting.
" Man this guy is more dangerous that we thought..."Spike agreed.
Heh and why not?" Luffy asked with a confident look as he saw more knives coming in. He then stretched his arm towards a wood support of a nearby house and retracted, managing to dodge the knives in time.
"Gyahahahaha! How impressive! How interesting!" Buggy somewhat praised the rubber kid.
"You are interesting too clown."
"Gum Gum Pistol!" Luffy exclaimed as he stretched his arm to punch Buggy but the pirate clown dodged his first.
"Its an interesting ability for sure but an arm stretched to its limit is full of weaknesses! I'll tear it to shreds!" Buggy said as he was about to stab Luffy's arms but what he didn't saw was that Luffy grabbed a tree and when he realize the inevitable, it was too late. "HUH?!"
Buggy's head then separated itself from his neck dodging Luffy's technique and as a result, Luffy fully retracted his hand and the resulting impulse made him crash towards a house.
Buggy exclaimed in a mocking manner when suddenly felt something around his barrel. Looking down he saw that it was a lasso.
Buggy was tugged at a great speed towards Applejack who prepared to buck him.
"Oh ho ho! So you want to play too huh?" Buggy said as he separated his torso, eliminating the pull and turning around to dodge Applejack's buck and in turn, he was going to counter attack with a slash from his knives only to recieve a heating blast of magic from Rarity.
"Grrr.... Bara Bara Windmill!" Buggy exclaimed as he repeated his attack from before but this time, he also hit Rarity who almost got a new mane cut causing the fashionista pony to gasp. "You better watch it with those knives or you are going to regret it mister!" Rarity warned him.
"Not a threat?! Why don't you dare say the same to us bucko?!" Rainbow Dash taunted him from the air while she was also accompanied by Spike.
"Hah?! You think that the air is safe for you?! Watch this!!" Buggy said as he lifted his leg but this time he did it as if he was going to kick something.
"Bara Bara Dancing Pants!" Buggy said as he kicked at the same time he separate his lower half that spun in the air until landing in front of the ponies as it started to bounce on one foot and the other until it started to kick around without warning, having knives in the front end of its shoes forcing the ponies to back off. "Gyahahahaha! And now I will take on you rainbow freak! But first..." Buggy said as he took one knife and split his head into two which left the ponies more than shocked and appalled.
"Hehehe... Now that's taken care of... Be prepared to witness the show of the lifetime because it will be your last!!" Buggy exclaimed as he splits his head. The one half started floating around near the ground as the other along with the other upper half elevated in the sky. "Take this!!" Buggy said as he fired his armed hands with the knives to try and stab Rainbow Dash but she easily evade the sharp objects every time. Buggy then tried to target Spike with the knives but he too manage to dodge the Clown's attacks if not as easily.
Rainbow Dash tried to kick Buggy but every time she tried, Buggy just kept separating himself in the last second making her fail but then Spike started supporting her with his green dragon fire which greatly complicated things for Buggy since he couldn't dodge it all and as a result, Rainbow ends up bucking him to the chest.
"Gyaaahh!!" Buggy yelled out in pain.
"Ha! Got him! Good work Spike!" Rainbow praised Spike and the two did a hoof bump.
"Damn it... So its like that now huh?! Well then..." Buggy had a sinister smile from under his coat before he pulled two very strange knives. These knives were longer than normal and had the familiarity of having the blades bent halfway to the side. "Now I'm gonna show you one of my favorite tricks. You should be honored!" Buggy said as he proceed to bend his arms behind and prepared to throw. "Bara Bara...!!!!"
Buggy yelled out as he separated his hands and threw the knives spinning at great speed towards Rainbow Dash and Spike who despite the velocity still manage to dodge it.
"Hehehe! So much for your favorite trick. Now take this! Hiya!!!!" Rainbow yelled as she zipped towards Buggy to once again to try and hit him but Buggy still separated and dodged every attack. "Come on Spike! Come and help me here!"
"Gyahahaha! Don't you think you are getting a little too confident there? It wouldn't be one of my favorite tricks if it didn't have something special!" Buggy explained to Rainbow and confusing her. "Wait what?!"
"Haven't wondered where my hands gone off too?" Buggy asked with a smile and sure enough and sure enough his hands weren't there.
"Wait that strange shape that of those Knives were...!!"
"I'm coming Rainbow Dash!" Spike exclaimed as he flies towards the middle of the fight but then he sensed the danger when Spike saw Buggy's knives that the clown threw zipping towards him much faster than before. "Uh... Oh..." Spike gulped as he realized that he couldn't dodge the deadly attack in time at the speed that the knives were coming but the hits never reached the baby dragon as Rainbow Dash quickly flies in and reached for Spike, tackling him out of the way but at the cost of having her cheek being cut up as well as strands of her mane.
"Gyahahahaha! What do you think of the Bara Bara Boomerang?! Pretty neat right?! Gyahahahaha!" Buggy laughed loudly as Rainbow examined her body and the pegasus mare discovered knife cuts on her front legs but luckily, these wounds weren't too deep.
While Rainbow Dash and Spike were fighting for their lives in the air, Applejack, Rarity and Twilight were having a battle with Buggy's legs on the ground that were doding and kicking their every attack while separating to avoid damage.
"Take this!" Rarity exclaimed as she fired a beam of magic at the sinister clown but Buggy's legs just separated from their feet, dodging the blast of magic and countering Rarity's move with a kick, separating the other feet and making the fashionista pony retreat the fight in order for her not to get stabbed.
"How are those even managing to fight? They're just legs!" Applejack questioned out loud.
"Its that half of his head!" Twilight exclaimed as she focused her magic on Buggy's head and the other half just kept dodging and separating in order to avoid more damage much to the frustration of the purple pony princess.
"Gyahahaha! Its useless you little tiny puny ponies! Your all mine!" The half of Buggy's head laughed as his lower half jumped and locked itself on Applejack's neck.
"H... Hey! What gives?! Get off!" Applejack yelled out as she starts to buck wildly around the place trying to get Buggy's legs off her.
"Woohoo! Oh yeah! Look at me everyone! I'm a rodeo clown! Gyahahahaha!" Buggy's half head mocked as his legs would not let go of Applejack's neck no matter what.
"Wow! That actually looks kind of fun!" Pinkie said as she looks at the shenanigans that were happening, only to receive a death glare from Applejack. "Uhh... Uhhmm... I'll take that back, Hehehehe" Pinkie nervously laughed as she begins to back off, realizing that this wasn't the time for any funny business but while all this was happening Twilight took the chance and used her magic to get a hold of Buggy's half head while the pirate clown was distracted with Applejack and his legs.
"Actually this looks like the end for you." Twilight exclaimed with confidence.
"D... Damn it! You got me good but I'm here to tell you that still isn't enough!!" Buggy countered back as his legs started to tighten their grip on Applejack's neck.
"Gaah!! Grrrr.... If you think that's a smart move mister..." Applejack said as she got her two front hooves on Buggy's legs and proceeds to pull them apart. "Your gonna have another thing coming!" Applejack proclaimed as she managed to fully separate Buggy's legs much to the pirate clown's surprise.
"W... What?!" Buggy asks with a stunned look as he witnessed his plan fall apart right in front of his very eyes.
"Now its time to get this over it Clown! Your time is up and..." Twilight proclaimed but the fighting princess was interrupted when she dodged a flurry of knives that unexpectedly came crashing down from the sky. Having evaded them by reflect of her barrier but at the cost of her focus having been broken and thus her magic hold on the half of Buggy's head.
"That's Impressive... Really Impressive..." Buggy said as all of his parts united once more into one body. "For being a bunch of wild talking animals forming a pirate crew, You girls sure kept me busy! But now... I'm about to get serious! Behold! Bara Bara Festi..."
"THAT WILL BE ENOUGH!!" A voice interrupted and everyone looked to saw that it was Luffy. "Spike, Girls I want to thank you for all for engaging in a good fight." Luffy then cracked his knuckles. "But as the Captain, Its only right that I got to end him so don't get involved in the battle any more!" Luffy stated seriously.
"As you wish." Twilight agreed as she stepped aside from the fight, shortly followed by everyone else.
"Ehh?! Really now?! You stupid rubber kid.. Don't think that it would be easy as to proclaim that you can beat me alone! As soon as I'm finished tearing you to shreds, I'm taking on your nakamas and blasting this stupid town to oblivion!" Buggy said with an angered look as he prepared for his attack and blasted his forearm. "Bara Bara Cannon!"
Luffy saw the attack coming and quickly catch it.
"Separate!" Buggy exclaimed as his forearm separated. Managing to hit and make a cut on the side of Luffy's face and making him fall.
"Hey Twi, Are you sure that we should really love him to fight this alone?" Spike questioned his surrogate sister.
"Absolutely Spike. He did ask us to do so and he's the captain so it would be disrespectful to interfere. Besides we already saw him in action before. I'm confident that he can handle this Spike. Friends have to believe in each other right?" Twilight asked with a smile.
"Darn right!" Applejack said with a tip of her hat.
"Totally!" Rainbow Dash added with a colorful spin in the air.
"So let's just watch to see where this goes." Twilight concluded as Spike and the ponies spectate Luffy's fight.
"You bastard..." Luffy exclaimed with an angered look as the rubber kid slowly struggled to get up.
"What? So your pissed off that I left a scar in your face?" Buggy asked with a smug look, trying to anger Luffy even more.
"How dare you mess up this hat?!" An enraged Luffy yelled. "This is my treasure!! I will never forgive anyone that messes up this hat!!"
Nami looked surprised at Luffy's stance on their fight. "Wow... I thought that he was just one of those people that never gets angry at anything but he looks so pissed right now!"
Buggy just gave Luffy a sinister grin. "Is the hat precious to you?" Buggy asks Luffy.
Buggy's hand fired one of the knives behind him and Luffy dodged it but at the cost of him loosing his balance and that's when the hand with trio of knives fired at him.
"If that's true then why don't you protect it properly?!" Buggy exclaimed as the knives in his hand penetrated Luffy's straw hat with ripping it apart three times over. Nami was beyond shock and appalled just like everyone else at the sight of this.
"Gyahahahaha! What sort of treasure is this rag like hat?!" Buggy exclaimed as he laughed out loud while Luffy just proceeds to attack him.
"That's the hat that Shanks trusted me with!!" Luffy answered in a blind charge.
"Eh?! This is Shank's hat?!" Buggy question as he dropped the hat on the floor. "Me and that guy used to be on the same pirate crew as comrades when we were apprentices and he annoyed me to no end!!" Buggy yelled as he stomps on the straw hat making Luffy even more furious.
"Shanks is a great man and you said that he was your crewmate?!" Luffy asks as he was about to punch Buggy.
"Bara Bara Emergency Escape!" Buggy exclaimed expecting Luffy to do the same earlier and go for his head but unfortunately for him, the rubber kid goes for a devastating kick on his stomach. "DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH HIM!!" Luffy yelled as he kicks Buggy on the stomach causing him to a suffer a devastating pain, making his head separate from his body and the clown rolls on the ground, spitting blood and teeth on the pavement leaving an impact of a crazy face.
"Yikes! That's gonna leave a mark in the morning." Pinkie exclaimed.
"Pfftt... Bro his face right now... Its so funny..." Spike muttered as he tried to suppress his laughs.
"Come on Spike! Ya know its not right to laugh at other ponies expenses...!" Applejack tried to scold the baby dragon but failed as the apple farmer failed to hold her laughing fit.
Rainbow Dash was already on the floor laughing her flanks off while Rarity and Twilight just turned their heads to the side with disapproving looks as Buggy hits the floor and coughs up blood from Luffy's powerful kick. "Now I don't know what's your relationship with him but I have all the right to talk about Shanks as I please!!" Luffy yelled as he punches Buggy on the face and starts to roughly pull his cheeks.
"Say it!! What happened between you and Shanks?!" Luffy asks as he pulled Buggy's cheeks a bit more before letting him go and gets up to examine his straw hat. "Hell how dare you do that to my treasure?!" Luffy asks with an angered look.
"So you want to know about Shanks that badly?!" Buggy shouts back as he struggles to get up. "He is the only person that I'm never forgiving! Listen up and listen good you brats! Red Haired Shanks?! I'm cursing his name for the rest of my life! If you want to know why then hear my words!" Buggy proclaimed gaining everyone's attention.
Meanwhile Nami went her focus back on the treasure that she had to steal on the warehouse. "Oh no! I was so fascinated with the fight that I kept watching! I better hurry up and steal that treasure so that I could run away! I don't have time to listen to these stories!" Nami said to herself as the Cat Burglar runs off.
"But still, He did save your life after all. That's better than having to wait 10 years or more then finding out your just a corpse in the ocean. Pinkie exclaimed practically questioning Buggy's logic.
"Well that..." Buggy replied
"And also, aren't your powers like really awesome?" Back when we were fighting, I have to admit that you pulled out some pretty interesting moves. I bet you could do even cooler stuff if you really try. Spike replied, interrupting Buggy's answer.
"Err... I mean yeah technically but..." Buggy tried to reason but the pirate clown was starting to sweat.
"Also isn't the ability to survive any cuts or slashes no matter what is a useful ability for a pirate! You saw it yourself in your fight with Zoro and later on with Pinkie Pie. If you haven't had your powers then it would have been your end. I can only imagine how many other fights you've survive thanks to that devil fruit there partner. Applejack said with an honest heart as she tips her hat.
"B... But... I..!! Grr...!! Shut up!! If I had been successful with my plan then I wouldn't had to worry with such things!! I could have gotten many strong people to fight for me and gather more resources to do things way smoother!! I would have invested the berries so that I would have gained ten times more money in the future and become filthy rich! But everything had to do down the sewer thanks to that stupid Shanks and instead I', here fighting my way to the top!!" Buggy said with an angered look then separated his upper half as the clown pirate was now levitating in the air. "So that's why I promised myself that If I can't have anything from under the sea then I'll just have to settle for every treasure above it with this devil fruit power!"
"Because of that, who ever touches my treasure and whoever that is I'll never..." Buggy exclaimed but then he spotted something in the distance. "Leave them alive!" Buggy finished as he speeds down towards Nami who was carrying a bag full of treasure.
"Eh?" Nami had a blank expression as Buggy approached her. "Crap! He noticed me!"
"Since when did you think you could fool me Nami?! You have a long way to go before your able to trick a trickster like me you brat! Now let me send you painfully to the netherworld!"
"I'm not giving you a single thing!" Nami replied back as she was forced to let go of the treasure bag.
"Nami! We got to help her!" Twilight said as she and her friends rush in to take action.
"Gyaaah!!" Buggy yelled out as he was about to attack Nami but then he felt an indescribable, horrible, internal pain that paralyzed him completely as Luffy kicked him in the balls.
"Ouch... That's gonna leave a mark..." Twilight said as she and Spike winced instantly.
"Huh? I don't get it. What happened?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
"Me neither. Can somepony explain it to me?" Applejack added.
"What..? Oh right. You girls don't know anything about human anatomy don't you? Well when me and Spike visited the Human World from across the mirror, we learned that similar to stallions, human males have their reproductive organs in between their legs." Both Twilight and Spike whispered to Rainbow and Applejack but it was clear that they were speaking out loud causing the two mares to wince in pain at what they saw.
"What? What is it?" Pinkie Pie asked as Rainbow Dash and Applejack told the pink party pony.
"Ouch.... That poor thing..." Pinkie said feeling a bit sorry for Buggy after hearing his story all this time while Rarity had a raised eyebrow.
"What? Your not shocked by this one bit Rarity?" Twilight asked as the purple pony princess and her baby dragon assistant had their jaws dropped much to the trembling expressions of her other pony friends. "Rarity don't tell me you..." Pinkie started as the mare started shaking with fright.
"Its one of my signature moves Darlings. One that I have learned when we were training under Princess Celestia and Princess Luna for future battles back in Canterlot before your coronation Twilight. I've studied pony anatomy and I learned that to quickly take down your opponent, You have to hit him below the belt, squashed their balls and crack their nuts if you know what I mean?" Rarity exclaimed with a wink as she put more emphasis by rubbing a hoof on her flank to her leg causing the rest of the ponies to fall down in a comedic manner.
"That's low Rarity... Your a sadistic mare you know that?" Twilight and her friends simultaneously answered.
"I can be sadistic and dominant when the situation calls for it Darling. I'm more into fashion but I'll fight back when the situation calls for it." Rarity says with wink and a seductive flying kiss while lifting a hind leg for emphasis of what she meant.
"Your opponent is still me." Luffy exclaimed as he pointed towards Nami. "Oi put that treasure down and go someplace safer or your going to get chased again otherwise." Luffy warned to his friend.
"Luffy is right Nami. Drop it and run! Its not worth your life!" Rainbow Dash yelled at Nami.
"Thanks for worrying about me but where would it put it down? Go? I don't want to! Why should I leave my treasure behind?" Nami answered back much to the frustration of the rainbow maned pegasus.
"Y.. Your treasure?!" Buggy grumbled as he started to recover his senses.
"Of course! Since I'm a pirate treasure thief and I steal treasure from pirates, I'm telling you that this treasure is me!" Nami fired back.
"Oh I see..." Luffy exclaimed as he hit the side of his fist with his palm and starts to crack his knuckles.
"What nonsense! That treasure is mine! Do you think that if you steal it its yours?! How the hell were you brought up?!"
"A lecture from a bad guy huh..? Stop that nonsense..."
"What?!"
"I don't think I've fallen low enough into the pit to be lectured by a pirate!" Nami said as he stuck her tounge out at Buggy.
"Sorry to interrupt Sugarcube." Applejack said as she got into the conversation. "But technically the treasure is neither from both of ya but from the rightful owner of it who ya both are tryin ta steal!" At the mention of those words, both Buggy and Nami looked at Applejack with a bored expression. "You aren't helping at all you know!" Both the pirate clown and the cat burglar said at the same time.
"I'm just being honest ya'll." Applejack said.
Buggy then turns back towards the cat burglar. "So your prepared for this aren't you Nami? Bara... Bara... Festival!" Buggy yelled out as both of his half and his upper body started to tremble before separating and starting to wildly float around. "Gyahahahaha! Lets see if you can your protect your friends now!" Buggy laughed loudly.
"Hell there should be a limit to his devil fruit! If he keeps this up then there's no way I can fight him!" Luffy said as he started to search for anything useful to examine in order to change the tide of the fight and sure enough he quickly noticed that something was off. "Huh? What's this? The feet can't fly?" Luffy asked as he saw the said parts of Buggy just walking on the ground. Luffy then decides to use that observation to his advantage and quickly captured one of Buggy's feet. "Gotcha! You foot!"
"Give me back my treasure!" Buggy's head yelled while he chased Nami around with both of his hands wielding a knife.
"I won't!" Nami yelled back at the pirate clown as the ponies couldn't help but dropping to the floor laughing their flanks off as Luffy tickled one of Buggy's feet and Nami tried to smash the bag of treasure in Buggy's face.
"Bwuhahahaha! The... The faces! T.. They're too much!" Rainbow exclaimed as she held unto her belly laughing loudly.
"I.. I was not prepared to resist this honey! Hahahahaha!" Rarity added as the fashionista mare couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"Ooh that's a good one Nami!" Luffy said impressed with the Cat Burglar's decision to attack the pirate clown but Buggy grinned as he held unto the bag of valuables. "And the treasure has been returned!" Buggy said as he kept his strong grip on the bag.
"Huh?! Let go!" Nami yelled as she started to force the treasure bag out of Buggy's hands.
"Let go huh?! The only one that should let go is you!!" Who said with a sinister look as he grabbed the bag with his teeth and puts both of his hands with the knives behind Nami.
"Stop him Luffy!" Twilight screamed and Luffy didn't think twice before running towards the sinister clown that was out to kill his friend.
"Its my treasure!" Buggy yelled as he was about to stab Nami from behind.
"I just told you that I'm your opponent..." Luffy said with clenched fists as he approached the pirate clown. "Eh?!" Buggy exclaimed as he saw Luffy from the corner of his eye.
"ITS ME!!!" Luffy bellowed as he delivered a powerful kick that smashes Buggy's head against the bag and sending both the pirate clown and his treasure flying into the air and spilling all of the treasure from the bag, making Buggy loose consciousness. "Now that's what you get my threatening to hurt my friends you idiot!" Luffy exclaimed as all the pieces of Buggy's corpse fell to the ground.
"Yeehaw! Good work there Partner!" Applejack said as she congratulates Luffy.
"Woohoo! Way to go Captain!" Rainbow added as she pumps a hoof into the air.
"You sure showed him Luffy!" Spike said, proud of his captain's fighting abilities.
"This so deserves a party! A Happy first defeat of a rival pirate captain celebration!" Pinkie said as she jumps into the air full of energy.
"That last kick was for the village chief!" Luffy exclaimed as he wipes the blood from the blood from his face as Twilight and her friends approached him and Nami.
Nami then looks at Buggy for a moment before turning to Luffy. "Thank you so much.. You saved my life..."
"Hmmm..? Nah don't worry about that." Luffy replied with a smile.
Applejack then trots forward and smacks Nami behind the head. "Ouch! Hey what's your problem?!"
"My problem...?! MY PROBLEM?! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!" Applejack yelled at Nami as the apple farmer was outright furious. You literally almost got yourself killed all because of what?! Some gold and riches?! In what head does that logic fit girl?!"
"Shut up!" Nami yelled back at the country mare. "I'm fine ! Just..."
"But what if your not?!" Applejack yelled as she stomped the pavement with a powerful force that it easily cracked the stone beneath her. "If anything, What if Luffy didn't kicked Buggy in time?! That clown would have pierced you with those knives and you would be dead!! Are you aware of how close that was?!" Applejack exclaimed and when Nami was about to yell back at Applejack, the apple farmer did something she didn't expect at all as Applejack got on her hind legs to stand and gave Nami a hug.
"Eh?!" Nami was completely lost about what's going on with the country speaking mare.
"You really had me mighty worried there. I could have lost it ya know..? Just please... Please I beg you... Please never put yourself in danger just for treasures like that again Sugarcube. Because... Not even all the riches in the world could ever replace ya." Applejack said to Nami with the sincerity that she could gather from the bottom of her heart.
"I... I..." Nami did not have the words at all to respond. She is just surprised then proceeds to pet Applejack behind her heard. "Yes Applejack.. I'll try... Really I do..."
After hearing her words, Applejack smiled and let Nami go. "Good! Because if you ever try something like that in my presence one more time, I'm smacking your head twice as hard next time you got that?" Applejack exclaimed happily with a dark aura on her head and Nami gulped while rubbing the back of her head.
Twilight and her friends just looked on at the touching moment with a warm smile on their faces while Luffy grinned at their victory.
"Oh that's right! I forgot about the map!" Luffy said as starts looking for the map of the Grand Line.
"Ahh!! My treasure got all scattered!" Nami said as she quickly began to gather all the valuables while Applejack just rolled her eyes with an amused smile, seeing Nami as another girl she has to care for like a big sister.
"Alright! I've finally got the map to the Grand Line!" Luffy said as he held up the piece of paper in his hand and the ponies cheered for him.
"Wait!!" A familiar voice behind began to call out and it was none other than Buggy's floating head. "Wait you rubber kid!"
"Eh? Your still alive?" Luffy asks with a surprised look.
"I will kill you once and for all you rubber kid! Gather up! Bara Bara Parts!" Buggy exclaimed as all of his parts gathered up to form his body again or at least that's what should have happened. Instead only his feet and hands have began to unite making Buggy end up looking barely taller than Spike as Luffy and Buggy looked at each other in silence.
"You wouldn't happened to be..." Nami grinned.
"Looking for these don't ya partner?" Applejack smirked as she and Nami both stand on top of Buggy's missing body parts.
"Yikes! Those are my body parts!" Buggy exclaimed with a stunned look as he realized the situation that he got himself in.
"Hahahaha! You two sure have some interesting skills to show! Now leave the final blow to me!"
"Now that fool is gone for good!" Rainbow exclaimed with a sigh of relief.
"Shishishishi! Oh right.." Luffy said as he turned to Nami. "Now your going to become part of my crew right?"
"I'm just cooperating with you while it serves my purpose. Remember that okay? I'll say yes for now since it looks like if I go along with you guys, I'll be able to earn a lot!" Nami said. "Buggy said he only keeps the best of treasures for himself so this bag's content is of the highest quality! All of this treasure should worth at least 10 million Berries. The Cat Burglar said as she gives the treasure bag an affectionate hug.
"Jeez she sure loves money doesn't she?" Spike exclaimed as he saw Nami hugging the bag like a baby.
"Mhmm... I don't know how much these "Berries" are worth converted to bits but ten million still sounds like a lot." Twilight observed.
"I'm gonna divide it so that you guys and gals can help me carry it. This treasure bag is so heavy that carrying it alone will be difficult. Nami said as she divides the bag and arranged various smaller sets of treasure bags so that the ponies will have one to carry each.
Luffy meanwhile takes a look at his straw hat in silence and Rarity took notice of Luffy's anguish of what happened to his treasure. "Don't worry about it Dear. As soon as I can get new tools and material to work with, I will make that straw hat look good as new." Nami said and Luffy nodded to her with a smile.
"Is that hat... That precious to you?" Nami asked.
"Yeah but its alright." Luffy said as he puts the straw hat back on. "I feel better now that I got rid of Buggy!"
"Speaking about that, there's still more of those no good crewmates of him over there." Applejack said as she looks over to the destroyed pub where the rest of Buggy's henchmen laid.
"Hey Captain Buggy got knocked out of sight?" One of the Buggy pirate crew members asked.
"W.. What should we do?" Another one of Buggy's henchmen asked.
"For now lets pretend that we're still passed out." One of Buggy's pirate goons answered.
"That's a good idea." A Buggy Pirate crew exclaimed as all of the men pretends to get passed out.
"Nah... Just leave them be Applejack. If they are even weaker than him then they aren't worth the problem." Luffy answered as he walks over Zoro who laid on the floor. "Oi Zoro! Get up!" Luffy said as he tapped Zoro in the head. "Lets go now.
"Hmmm...?" Zoro grumbled as he tries to get up. "Did you finish the fight?" The swordsman asked.
"Yeah and we also got the map and the treasures." His captain answered.
"Zoro sits up and rubs his head in annoyance. "Ahhh... I don't think I can walk yet."
"Well isn't that obvious! If you guys can still walk then you aren't humans..." Nami said with a bewildered look.
"Really? The why did you include me?" Luffy asked with a confused look.
"Because your the weirdest of them all!" Nami exclaimed with a pout.
"That's why were here so let us help you." Pinkie said as she and Applejack grabbed both of Zoro's arms and helps the moss haired swordsman to stand up.
"W.. Wow! Its kinda weird to move around like this. I don't know how you do it so casually sometimes Pinkie..." Applejack said as she wobbled a little but the mare quickly found a balance to stand on two hind legs like a human.
"Hehehehe! You know what AJ? I have the feeling that you particularly need to learn how to stand properly on two legs soon so you better practice now!" Pinkie replied with Applejack knowing better than to question her friend's odd and weird feeling thanks of actually considering it.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot, I'll wake up the Mayor!" Luffy said as he looked to Mayor Boodle's unconscious body.
"Damn it! What the hell happened here?! One of the villagers from Orange Town asked furiously.
"Its definitely the work of those pirates!" Another one of the townspeople concluded.
"Ahh sorry. I did that to the mayor." Luffy calmly stated with a straight face.
At the mention of those words, the villagers looked towards Luffy with an angered look. "You what?!"
"Hey! Why did you telll them that on purpose?!" Nami reprimanded Luffy.
"Yeah. Even I don't go around just being THAT HONEST..." Applejack admitted.
"But you all saw me do it!!" Luffy countered.
"I know but still!! That was because you had a good reason Luffy..." Nami explained.
"All of you look here!! How dare you do this to our mayor!" Another one of the townsfolk called out as they prepared to form an angry mob.
"It doesn't matter what kind of excuse you give us here!!" One of the men exclaimed. "Who the hell are you?! Could you be pirates?!"
"Oh no! If we didn't know any better and just say we're thieves or we're pirates then we're all done for!" Nami thought worriedly.
"WE ARE PIRATES." Luffy said once more with a clear statement and without a doubt Nami just felt herself shrunk down to her chibi form.
"SO YOU ARE!!" The villagers exclaimed as they prepared to attack Nami and the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Hahahaha!!" Zoro laughed loudly at the sight of the angry mob.
"Your such an idiot!!" Nami yelled as she bonked Luffy on the head.
"But its the truth!!" Luffy shouted back much to the chagrin of Twilight and her friends.
"Wait! Please listen to us!" Twilight said as she steps forward for the villagers to see her accompanied by Rainbow Dash who the men, women instantly recognized.
"Wait! You... Your one of those ponies was it? The one that brought their injured friend to the refuge center!" One of the villagers exclaimed as the rest of the angry mob started to calm down.
"Wait! The one that fought the infamous Mohji and his beast?" Another one of the townsfolk asked.
"But then why are they with those pirates?" His partner wondered with all the commotion that was going on.
"Yes." Twilight said with a bow to the townsfolk. "And we are deeply grateful for your hospitality whenyou accepted to tend her without it much. Now as you can see our captain doesn't seem to know how to express it correctly. Sorry about that.
"Now let me tell you guys and gals what really happened here.." Rainbow exclaimed as she began to tell what happened during the fight.
5 MINUTES LATER...
"And that's when he stretched his arms and send that clown in the sky! Pretty cool if you ask me. You had to be there!" As Rainbow finished telling everyone the story all the villagers applauded the rainbow maned pegasus for she sure was good at story telling!
"So that's what happened huh... We are all deeply grateful for everything you pirates did." The men and women in the mob bowed down in front of the Straw Hats and praising them. "You saved our mayor and our village!"
"Shishishishi! Come on there's no need for formality like that" Luffy said with a grin, scratching the back of his head.
"Waah! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I don't know what would have happened had you not been there!" Nami said happily as she wrapped her arms around Twilight and Rainbow hugging them more and more.
"Well it would have been a problem to have the villagers against us for no good reason right?" Twilight said not minding Nami's affections.
"Yeah. Especially when they still have... Oh heck!" Rainbow suddenly released herself from Nami and approached the nearest villager. "Fluttershy! Our friend! Is she alright?"
"Eh? Well she..." The villager explained but then he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Yes I'm alright." She said and upon hearing her, Twilight and her friends rush towards her to get a look.
There all bandaged by the legs, her barrel and her forehead was Fluttershy accompanied by the doctor of the village.
"Fluttershy!" All of her friends yelled and started to bombard her with questions about her condition until the doctor stepped in.
"Now... Now... Please give her some space and time to talk." The village doctor calmly said as Twilight and her friends quickly apologized.
"Are you fine?" Luffy asks the butter yellow pegasus as Zoro, and Nami also approached the patient.
"Yes. The doctor said that it should take a few weeks before I heal completely but I can at least walk." Fluttershy said as The Straw Hats breathe a sigh of relief.
"Good! We're leaving the village then!" Luffy declared to his crewmates.
"H.. Hey! Your all leaving so soon?! We didn't even thank you properly for everything you guys did!"
"Yeah Luffy! Lets make a party!" Pinkie Pie jumped with enthusiasm with Luffy quickly cut her off.
"No." Luffy firmly stated with shadows covering his eyes. "Half of the village that took them years to built have vanished. We are not taking a single thing more from them and that's it." Luffy said making everyone drop their mood to look around at them and at the state of the village that to put it simply... It was bad.
"I agree." Twilight said. "You healed our friend and thanked us. That's enough for us."
"I... See..." One of the men from the village exclaimed.
"Take this at least." The village doctor said, offering his medical supplies. "Your friend is going to need this to continue her treatment."
"Thank you Darling." Rarity said as he takes the medical supplies from the doctor.
"All right crew! Lets go on to the next island!" Luffy exclaimed.
"LETS GO!!!" All of the Straw Hats cheered as they raced to the docks of Orange Town to set sail.
"Woah... I was getting pretty worried. Thanks to your friends, we dodged that one." Nami said as she and the Straw Hats where off to the harbor of the village. "You almost got us in quite a predicament you know?"
"Well who cares what they think anyways? We can do to what we need to do!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Well its not quite like that." Nami said to him.
"Drop it Sugarcube. Something tells me its no use." Applejack said as she and Pinkie carry Zoro on their backs.
"Is this your boat?" Luffy asks upon reaching the port and seeing Nami's boat which was a little bigger than the one he, Zoro, Twilight and the rest of them had been sailing. "Woah that's so cool Nami! I envy you.
"I don't think so..." Nami said with a groan seeing that the boat she was on earlier was just the same as theirs. "I just stole it from a bunch of stupid pirates."
Luffy and his friends were about to set sail when three familiar figures revealed themselves from inside the boat.
"You Know them?" Luffy asked Nami.
"Hmm... Well sort of..." Nami answered with a nervous grin.
"Sort of huh?! We have a long story!" The one with the hat identified as Oogie exclaimed. "My name is Oogie and I see that you now have a gang. Now? Guess we will have to teach them all a less..." The pirate fodder crew exclaimed then he saw one of the greatest fears that he ever encountered in his life.
"Mhmm..? A What...? Suddenly I'm quite interested in what you have to say Darling Oogie." Rarity said as a dark aura began to surround her. "A lesson..?"
"Uhh... Huh.... I.. I'm Woogie by the way..." The pirate with the Afro Ginger exclaimed now identified as Woogie.
"Huh?! We don't have time for this so... MOVE ON IT DAMN IT!!" Applejack fully exploded with anger at them, sending the three members of the 'Tightrope walking Funan Bros' to run away with a trail of fear tears behind them.
"AHHHH!!!" Dookie yelled out as the dark skin toned pirate began to ran off in fear with Oogie and Woogie. "My name is Dookie by the way!!!" The third pirate fodder called as they kept running for their lives.
"Ugh... What's with all that noise?" Zoro asks as he lifts his head in confusion.
Applejack pinched her forehead in annoyance and huffs, having steam blasts out of her muzzle. "Nothing worth mentioning."
"Uhmm... T... That was a little rude... I... I mean if you don't mind me saying..." Fluttershy said.
"Pfftt... Anyways lets hop in!" Rainbow exclaimed as she was about to get on one of the boats.
Meanwhile back in the center of Orange Town, The Mayor Boodle was just waking up.
"Ahh! Mister Mayor! Your awake!" One of the villagers exclaimed. "I'm so glad to see that your alright!"
"Yeah... About that..." Mayor Boodle massaged his forehead and tries to stand up. "This..." Mayor Boodle exclaimed as he looked towards the destroyed pub.
"When we arrive here, It was already like this." One of the villagers exclaimed. "Heh... its a good thing that they arrived. It could have been worse..."
At the mention of those words, Mayor Boodle fully recovered with energy. "Those kids... Were those kids alive?!" Boodle asks with clenched teeth and remembered Luffy. "That Idiot! Doing such a thing to a guy like me! How dare he!"
"Yes Mayor, We know." One of the townsfolk said and Boodle looked surprised to hear the revelation.
"Yeah! And we also know why he did it! How could you Mayor?!" One of them men exclaimed with tears suddenly escaping his eyes. "What do you think we could have ever done if you died?!" He asked out loud and the other villagers suddenly cried out with tears flying out of their eyes.
"MAYOR!"
"Mister Mayor!"
"Mayor Boodle!"
"Don't be so reckless again Mayor! "
"Don't think of Dying again Mayor Boodle!"
At the mention of these words, Mayor Boodle couldn't help himself and removed his glasses crying out as well. "Thank you! I'm so proud of this town! You all had to make me the happiest mayor of them all!"
"Mayor!!"
"Oh right! Where are they?" Mayor Boodle asked as he starts wiping off his tears."
"They are at the harbor of the town to leave. Why?" One of the men from the crowd asked.
Mayor Boodle got pale upon hearing that and quickly started to remove his armor. "Are those kids gonna disappear now?!"
"Mayor what's the matter?" One of the townsfolk asked but Mayor Boodle didn't pay attention and he started to run. "Hell coming to my village and messing around then leaving without my permission...!! The number of things I have to tell them had piled up like a mountain!!"
Meanwhile back at the harbor, everyone was getting ready to set sail. Applejack, Luffy, Zoro and Pinkie Pie stayed in their original boat while Nami, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Twilight and Rainbow Dash moved to Nami's boat which was originally stolen from one of the Buggy Pirates.
"Okay lets go!!" Luffy declared before noticing the flag on Nami's boat ride. "Hey that's the mark of the Buggy Pirates right there.
"It was those pirate's boat so of course it it. Don't worry. I'll just erase it later. Nami exclaimed.
"As the gang were sailing, Mayor Boodle arrived at the harbor of Orange Town. "Huff... Puff... I have have a lot of things to say to you all!!" Boodle exclaimed but then he noticed someone running beside him. "Hehehehe. So you have a few things to say about them too right Chouchou?"
"Woof!! Woof!!" Chouchou barked vigorously.
"Stop right there you morons!!" Mayor Boodle exclaimed at the harbor.
"Mister Mayor!" Luffy called out and waved with a surprised look.
"Chouchou!! Fluttershy exclaimed as she waved to the cute pooch, surprised to see that her friend was present to send her off.
"I really thought that it was okay for me to die at that time... In my desperation I considered death to be nothing..!!" Boodle exclaimed with his head hung low with everyone looking at him and tears running down his eyes. "I'M SORRY!! I OWE YOU ALL!!"
"AWUUUU!!!" Chouchou howled as the dog waved Luffy and his friends goodbye.
Everyone smiled as they left the harbor. "Don't worry about it! Just live your happy lives!" Luffy yelled back at them with a big smile.
"WHAT?! YOU LEFT THE TREASURE BEHIND?!" Nami screamed looking downright furious. "I gave you half of it! It was five million berries!"
"Yeah but since half the town was destroyed, I took the money and gave it away in order for them to repair it." Luffy explained with a shrug.
"That was my treasure!!" Nami exclaimed as she began to grab Luffy's neck and starts to drown him.
"Hey stop it!! I can't swim!! If you want to take it so badly then go back and take it from them!!"
"How could I do that?! If you do that one more time, your dead!!" Nami exclaimed as she finally let go of Luffy. "Heck I should have divided it into more so that the loss would have been less..."
"Umm... Actually... I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing Nami." Twilight pointed out.
"Me too without a doubt Darling ." Rarity added.
"As well I Partner." Applejack said and everyone else on the boats nodded in agreement.
"So I was condemned with misfortune from the start huh...?" Nami deflated as she began to fall into depression, The infamous cat Burglar Nami drawing circles on the wooden floor with her finger.
"Hey come on now. Its not that big of a deal anyways. Cheer up!" Spike exclaimed trying to lift up Nami's spirits but instead she gave him a scary face that urged the baby dragon to hide under Twilight's tail. "Waah!! Monster!!"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" Nami roared out loud as he turned into her chibi form and red lightning striking out from her forehead.
"Hahahaha!!" Zoro couldn't take it anymore and bursts out laughing, soon followed by Pinkie Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and then the rest of the Straw Hats.
With their new companion Nami. The Cat Burglar joined the journey and the two boats continue to sail the seas but they don't know that the next island they were going to land at "The Forest Judgement" awaits.
