"This is bad! 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! Surrender peacefully!"
Everyone looked at Luffy and shouted.
"Huh?"
Luffy was utterly bewildered and had no idea what was going on!
He had fallen from the sky, was a little concussed, and before he had even recovered, people were pointing blades at him and saying incomprehensible things. He could only stare blankly.
"Oh my, boss, you finally came. You hid everything properly, right?"
At that moment, Nami's eyes lit up. Looking very familiar with him, she spoke to Luffy.
"Boss? Who are you?"
Luffy could not help asking, becoming even more confused.
But upon hearing that, the surrounding Pirates were instantly enraged!
"Just as expected, these two are together! Get them!"
"Damn it, you actually dared steal the Buggy Pirates' treasure! Are you tired of living?!"
"Capture them and leave them to Captain Buggy!"
They roared and lunged at the two of them!
Meanwhile, while no one was paying attention, Nami had already slipped aside, turned around, and fled.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with you people? Stop right now, or I won't be nice!"
Luffy shouted.
But no one paid him any attention. They all lunged at him!
"Damn it, what is going on?!"
Luffy was speechless. Facing the vicious crowd bent on taking his life, he shouted angrily!
"Gum-Gum... Whip!"
His leg suddenly stretched out, becoming a long whip that swept across the crowd!
The force of rubber burst forth, knocking the surrounding Pirates to the ground!
"I didn't expect you to be so strong!"
Just then, Nami, who had returned after leaving, stared at the scene in surprise.
After leaving, she had felt uneasy and hurried back.
But remembering that Luffy had fallen from such a great height without getting hurt, she figured he should be able to handle a few small-time Pirates. Even so, she had come back and witnessed this scene!
"Who are you?"
Luffy asked.
"My name is Nami."
Nami introduced herself. Looking at Luffy, her eyes lit up and an idea arose in her heart.
If she could make it happen, her plan would be completed immediately!
"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 again!"
At that, Nami grinned like a little fox.
"Okay, okay! Take me there already!"
Luffy's eyes immediately sparkled. He had long since forgotten everything else.
"Alright, 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? There isn't even a single person here. What happened?"
After Moonlight and Zoro came ashore, they headed toward the town.
But the town was completely empty. There was no one in sight, only ruined houses and rubble everywhere.
Zoro could not help asking.
"Before Captain Buggy came, this was a prosperous town. But after he arrived, it became like this!"
"Actually, you can't blame us. 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 crew members hurriedly explained.
They had followed along as well.
"Oh? Come to think of it, weren't you the ones who provoked them first?"
Zoro sneered.
He hated Pirates like these the most.
"Ah!"
The three men 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, such things were nothing unusual.
Human lives were cheap, 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 option!
"Yes, yes."
The three men 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 group has grown stronger again!"
"No matter what, we have to resist! Even if we die, we absolutely cannot let them destroy our village!"
As the group of five departed, several villagers on a hillside enclosed by simple fencing saw everything through telescopes and shouted angrily.
They were townspeople who had been driven here.
Watching their town continuously be destroyed and the Pirates slaughter people viciously, 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 encountered an expert and were all defeated!"
"Captain!"
At that moment, aboard a massive ship of the Buggy Pirates, many Pirates were drinking and eating meat. Suddenly, several Pirates who had chased the thief came scrambling back and shouted from afar toward where their captain was.
"What did you say? A thief stole my treasure, and you still failed to catch her?"
A cold voice immediately came from an ornate room!
"Captain, listen to us! That person isn't ordinary. He, he..."
Upon hearing the voice, the men were scared out of their wits. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably as they hurriedly tried to explain.
"No need to explain. There's no room for trash on my ship. Since you lost her, prepare to 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 and lifting them high into the air, ready to kill them!
"Captain Buggy?"
At that moment, a voice sounded. Nami had arrived, bringing a bound Luffy with her.
"Captain, it was her! She stole our treasure!"
"Damn thief, you actually came to us on your own!"
"Kill her! Kill her!"
When they saw Nami appear, the Pirates who had chased her immediately 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 famous pirate, Buggy the Clown?"
Seeing Buggy himself, Nami was slightly shocked, but she still smiled.
"Lord Buggy, you misunderstand. I came to join you. This person is my boss. He was the one who told me to steal your things, but now I've abandoned darkness for the light!"
Nami smiled as she handed over the treasure and sea chart she had taken.
