"Not good. What if he's in league with that woman?"

"Kid, whoever you are, if you dare set your sights on our captain's treasure, you're dead meat. Surrender quietly!"

Everyone looked at Luffy and shouted.

"Huh?"

Luffy was completely dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on. He had fallen from the sky, was a little concussed, and before he could recover, people were pointing swords at him and saying incomprehensible things. He could not help looking utterly confused.

"My, my, boss, you finally came. You hid everything away, right?"

At that moment, Nami's eyes lit up. Looking as though she knew him well, she spoke to Luffy.

"Boss? Who are you?"

Luffy could not help asking, becoming even more confused.

But upon hearing that, the pirates around them flew into a rage!

"So they really are together! Get them!"

"Damn it, you actually dared to steal the Buggy Pirates' treasure? You must be tired of living!"

"Capture them and leave them for Captain Buggy to deal with!"

They shouted angrily and pounced at the two of them!

By then, Nami had already taken advantage of everyone's distraction to slip aside and turn to flee.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you people? Stop it, or I won't go easy on you!"

Luffy shouted.

But no one paid him any attention. They all rushed at him!

"Damn it, what is going on?"

Luffy was speechless. Facing the vicious crowd intent on taking his life, he shouted, "Gum-Gum... Whip!"

His leg instantly stretched out into a long whip and swept toward them! The force of the rubber attack erupted at once, knocking the surrounding pirates to the ground! "I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

At that moment, Nami, who had returned after leaving, was shocked by the sight.

After she left, she had felt a little worried and hurried back.

But thinking that Luffy had been fine even after falling from such a great height, he should have had no trouble dealing with a few petty thugs. Still, she had come back, only to see this scene! "Who are you?"

Luffy could not help asking.

"My name is Nami."

Nami introduced herself. When she looked at Luffy, her eyes lit up and an idea arose in her mind.

If she could make it happen, her plan could be completed directly!

"Nami, I'm hungry. Where can I get something to eat?"

Luffy nodded and asked directly.

"Food? Of course there is. And I know a place with lots of delicious food. But you have to cooperate with me first. As long as we succeed, you'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life!"

Hearing that, Nami chuckled like a little fox.

"Okay, okay! Take me there quickly!"

Luffy's eyes immediately shone. He had already cast everything else aside.

"Okay, but I need to tie you up first, then we'll act according to the plan."

Nami said to Luffy with a smile.

Luffy nodded repeatedly. As long as there was food, anything was fine!

"Is this really a town? Why is it so desolate? And there isn't a single person here. What happened?"

After Moonlight and Zoro came ashore, they headed toward town.

But the town was empty, without a single person in sight. Broken houses and ruins were everywhere.

Zoro could not help asking.

"Before our Captain Buggy came, this was a prosperous town. But after he arrived, it became like this!"

"Actually, you can't blame us. Our Captain Buggy is a very good man. It's just that the townspeople didn't know what was good for them and insisted on opposing us, so they ended up like this!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The three Buggy Pirates crewmen hurriedly explained.

They had followed along as well.

"Oh? Come to think of it, you were the ones who provoked them first, weren't you?"

Zoro sneered.

He hated pirates like this most of all.

"Ah!"

The three immediately fell silent, not daring to speak again.

"Take me to your captain. If Luffy comes here and learns about this, he definitely won't spare you."

Moonlight said calmly.

In this Great Pirate Era, this was nothing unusual.

Human lives were as worthless as grass, and the strong preyed on the weak.

What could ordinary villagers do against a pirate crew? If they refused to submit, death was their only fate! "Yes, yes."

The three did not dare delay and quickly led the way.

"Damn it, they're pirates from the Buggy Pirates!"

"Not just them. There are two more people with them. Damn it, the pirate force has grown again!"

"No matter what, we have to resist! Even if we die, we absolutely can't let them destroy our village!"

As the group of five left, several villagers on a hillside surrounded by crude fencing saw everything through telescopes and shouted angrily.

They were townspeople who had been driven here.

Watching their town be continually destroyed and the pirates slaughter people so brutally, they decided to resist!

"The village chief is already scouting ahead. Everyone, wait for his signal, then attack together!"

They all said.

"Captain, this is bad, this is bad!"

"The treasure was stolen by that thief! We went after her, but we ran into an expert and were all defeated!"

"Captain!"

At that moment, aboard a huge ship of the Buggy Pirates, many pirates were drinking and eating meat. Suddenly, several pirates who had gone after the thief came scrambling back and shouted toward where their captain was.

"What did you say? A thief stole my treasure, and you still haven't caught her?"

An icy voice immediately came from an ornate room!

"Captain, listen to us! That person isn't ordinary. He, he..."

Hearing that voice, they were terrified out of their wits. Their bodies trembled as they desperately tried to explain.

"No need to explain. I don't keep trash on my ship. Since you lost them, then die."

But the voice could not be bothered to listen to their nonsense. With a cold shout, one hand split into three sections and flew out, grabbing the three men by the necks and lifting them high into the air, ready to kill them! "Captain Buggy?"

At that moment, a voice rang out. Nami had arrived with Luffy tied up.

"Captain, it was her! She stole our treasure!"

"Damn thief, you actually came straight to us!"

"Kill her! Kill her!"

When they saw Nami appear, the pursuing pirates all shouted.

"Oh? So you're the one who stole my treasure?"

Seeing this, Buggy the Clown released his grip, walked out of the room, and looked at Nami!

So he's the infamous pirate Buggy the Clown?

Seeing Buggy himself, Nami was slightly shocked, but she kept smiling as she spoke.

"Lord Buggy, you misunderstand. I came to join you. This person is my boss. He was the one who ordered me to steal your things, but now I've abandoned evil and turned to the right path!"

As Nami smiled, she handed over the treasure and sea chart she had taken.
