Chapter 10: Orange Town

Luffy and Zoro are traveling towards Orange Town at around 120 km/h with a height of 6 meters above the water. Zoro was lying on a cloud, taking a nap while Luffy was sitting in his plush cloud chair with a glass of whiskey in his hand looking up at the sky.

Luffy then turned to look at the sleeping Zoro and spoke.

"Oi wake up" Luffy said causing Zoro to turn around while muttering something Luffy couldn't understand. Luffy then flashed a mischievous smile on his face before pointing his right index finger at Zoro.

On the tip of Luffy's index finger, blue sparks of electricity can be seen forming, then a bolt of lightning slides from Luffy's finger and strikes Zoro's back causing him to scream in pain.

Zoro immediately jumped to his feet with his three swords out ready to fight. Luffy had an amused expression on his face as he looked at Zoro. he chuckled before addressing his first crew.

"Calm down Zoro, that's me" Luffy said making Zoro sheath his sword before shouting at Luffy.

"Why did you do that!?" Zoro asked/shouted.

"I tried to wake you up the normal way but you didn't wake up so I had to think of a creative way" said Luffy as he took a sip of the whiskey.

He then threw the cup at Zoro before speaking again "The barrel on your right contains food and the one on your left contains liquor" said Luffy pointing to the two barrels Lucky Roo gave him.

Zoro thanked him before getting some meat from the barrels to eat along with a cup of liquor to drink. While Zoro was eating, Luffy thought it would be a good time to tell Zoro his plans for when they arrived in Orange town.

"We will arrive at Orange Town in about thirty minutes. The pirate we will meet there is Buggy 'The Clown', he has 15,000,000 Belli on his head" Luffy said making Zoro notice with a serious expression on his face before speak.

"And why did you want to see him?" Zoro asked with raised eyebrows. Luffy took a sip of his whiskey before answering.

"I heard a lot about him from my mentor, so if he is as good a pirate as I expected. Then I will ask him to join me. However, if not, we will beat him up and cash his and his crew's bounty," said Luffy while grinned.

Zoro took a bite of the piece of meat that was in his hand before giving his opinion to Luffy.

"And what if he's the pirate you've been hoping for, but he doesn't want to join you?" Zoro asked.

"Simple, we beat him up and keep cashing his bounty" Luffy said making Zoro laugh.

"From now on, any pirate who has a bounty, we will beat up and cash their bounty. In this cloud now there are 800 million Belli, I got that money from several pirates in the Grand Line," said Luffy making Zoro spit out all the liquor he had was in his mouth and stared at Luffy with eyes the size of dinner plates.

"800... 800... million Belli?" Zoro asked in a surprised voice and Luffy nodded before speaking.

Yup, I plan to cash in on all the pirates who have large bounties in the East Blue before we head to the Grand Line. I highly doubt we'll find a ship suitable and powerful enough to sail the seas of the Grand Line, so most of that money will be spent. to buy a new ship, repair it, and eventually we will need a new one. However, if we are lucky and find a ship strong enough to sail the Grand Line, then all we need to worry about next is repairs," said Luffy.

a nod from Zoro saying he understood. "Then, getting a new ship and its maintenance is my responsibility as a captain, and for my crew, every enemy they defeat and that enemy has a bounty on his head, the crew is entitled to receive a bounty from the enemy he has defeated. The loot is divided equally. to all the crew," added Luffy.

Zoro drank the last of his liquor before speaking.

"That sounds like a good plan Captain," Zoro said smiling making Luffy smile too. The two of them traveled for about twenty minutes, before finally getting to see the coast of Orange City, or what used to be called Orange City.

Because the whole city now looked like it had been swept by a storm. Zoro and Luffy got down from the cloud and started walking to the city.

While walking, Luffy sent orders to the clouds to stay in the sky around the island. When they got to the city, they realized that it was abandoned, not a soul in sight.

The only thing there is a lot of destroyed houses and damaged buildings. Luffy sighed and tilted his hand slightly down to shade his eyes before he spoke in a cold tone.

"Looks like Buggy isn't the man I imagined" said Luffy as they continued walking through town "Looks like we'll be 15 million beli richer than we were a few minutes ago" Luffy said causing Zoro to chuckle. .

"Hopefully there is someone strong in his crew to be my opponent" Zoro said as he placed his hand on his sword. Luffy and Zoro stopped their conversation when they saw a group of people running towards them.

It appears that three members of Buggy's crew are chasing a girl around Luffy's age. The girl has short hair with curly strands on the left side of her face and is about 170 cm tall.

She wears an orange miniskirt with two white rings on each side filled with orange and a short-sleeved white shirt with blue stripes. Zoro and Luffy looked at the group with curious expressions on their faces, as the group got closer, Luffy saw a piece of paper rolled up in the girl's hand, the size and color of a map.

It was then that Luffy understood why he was being chased, This girl seemed to have stolen an important map from Buggy and now she was going to kill him.

'Oh well, that's none of my business' thought Luffy as they continued walking forward. As the group got closer, Luffy saw the devilish grin on the girl's face when he saw Luffy and Zoro, and Luffy couldn't help but sigh, 'This girl is going to get us into trouble, isn't she?' Luffy asked himself.

As Luffy finished thinking, the girl stopped in front of him and spoke in a relieved tone.

"Oh hey boss! Thank you for coming to save me," said the girl in a loud voice and cheerful tone to Zoro and Luffy and the three pirates who were chasing her.

Before Luffy had a chance to say anything the girl spoke again "They are all yours now, have fun!" he said before running.

Luffy sighed before he looked at Zoro and nodded. Before the three pirates knew what they were up against, they were lying on the ground in a pool of blood, while Zoro standing behind them reloaded his sword.
