"What happened here ?." Nami and the mayor approach.
"Nami. Shishishishishi. You should have seen the fight. The nice guy ended up beating the lion." Says Luffy.
"A beating? It's not what it looks like ... With a half-mouth cure like that, it's not very convincing." Nami, look at my chest, even wearing my camiset, you can see that there is a wound in my chest.
"It's a little painful, but it's not as bad as it looks." I say with a smile on my face. I'm happy to know that I still have a little potential, if I couldn't defeat even that lion, I wouldn't know how to survive in this world. Would probably try to go on an adventure and end up dead.
Before we can say anything else, a bark sounds beside me.
"Hu?. Chouchou?." As I stare at Chouchou, I feel that he does the same, perhaps something like recognition ... I am still sad that I cannot save his treasure, but I feel that it was the right choice. Lowering my hand to caress his head, he accepted ... For two seconds.
"Aiiiiiiiii !!!!." He bit me .... He ended up leaving a mark behind .... Chouchou then takes the last packet of feed and leaves ...
'What was that? .... Is he mad at me? ..... I thought it was the best choice and what he wanted too ... Maybe I was wrong .... Ah ...' I get disappointed, are my choices wrong? ....
"How rare ... Since his owner died, Chouchou has refused to accept a petting, and has never bit anyone else in his hand .... He must be happy with something you did ..." Says the mayor, with a sparkle in your eyes.
'So it was the right choice ... I'm happy ...' I look at Chouchou leaving and a silly smile cannot fail to be born on my face.
"Hmm. Pirates are all the same, steal the treasure of others without remorse ... But ... I think I can handle making a partnership with you ..." Says Nami while looking at Luffy and me.
"Hahahahaha, I got my browser. Shishishishishi." Shouts Luffy as he raises his arms up.
"Hey ... I'm not joining your crew. It's a partnership ..." Nami says with displeasure.
Before our conversation can go any further, a big explosion happens next to us ...
"W-Was that the Buggy Ball? ..." Nami looks around worriedly, a large amount of dust rose from the place where the bomb hit.
"Wait ... That was where Zoro was sleeping." We all ran to the place.
"Y-Did he die?" Asks the mayor.
"Hey Zoro, are you there, are you alive?." Luffy starts looking for the place.
"Is that any way to wake me up? ... I wanted to sleep more ...." says Zoro as he gets up.
"Haha, I'm glad you're still alive, Zoro." Luffy says excitedly.
"How is it still alive?" Nami says incredulously.
"I can't allow them to do something like that ..." The mayor says, then starts saying about how the city was built from scratch by its residents, and how young people and a dog have more courage to protect this city than that they have lived since its creation, and that this city is the treasure of every citizen. How can they let others take care of their problems.
"There are certain battles that a man has to fight, don't you, boy ?!" The mayor asks Luffy.
"That's right, Osan." Luffy says with his characteristic smile.
"Don't entice Luffy." Shouts Nami, but nothing can stop the old man from getting out of his hands and running towards Buggy.
"It's okay. What the old man said is correct, but he is not the one who will face the Buggy pirates. Anyway they are mad at me, I will have to fight them sometime." I say as I get up and remove the dirt from my clothes.
"It is getting interesting." Zoro says as he gets up too.
"Really." Luffy starts to give his characteristic laugh.
"Is it time for a laugh now?." Nami looks around, her eyes meet mine, the eyes of an abandoned puppy asking for help, I look away and pretend not to have seen that look, despite my heart almost breaking, who can ignore those eyes?
"Take it easy. I liked the Old Man. I won't let him die." Says Luffy as he walks forward. Soon Zoro and I followed Luffy.
"Are you two going too?" Nami looks confused at both of us.
"Sure. Better to face Buggy with these two than to face them alone. Everything will be fine." I give Nami a reassuring smile, something that seems to have helped a little.
"I hope to have a good fight." Zoro says as he put his characteristic scarf on his head.
"Our goal is the Grand Line, we need the map to get there." Luffy says several steps away from us. So we accelerate to achieve it.
When we get there, we see the mayor fighting with Buggy, Luffy then insults Buggy's nose, which makes him look at us.
"You." Buggy points to me. "What are you doing here, you traitor." I twist my eyebrow. This title irritated me, why do they still call me that, they still haven't noticed?
"You are dumb ?." I speak loudly, drawing everyone's attention.
"You guys are calling me a traitor all the time, didn't you realize that I was never part of your crew?" That said, I finally remove the scarf that covered my head, causing my brown hair to spread out in the air.
"I was never part of your crew, on the last island where you stopped, I was stuck there, so I infiltrated your ship. Didn't you suspect that?" I say with a slight frown.
'Everyone looks at me ~'
"Ehhhh?! ??!?!? !!?!?" I am confused by this reaction.,
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Even my side was like that, from Zoro to the mayor.
".... You literally looked like everyone else on that crew ... And then when you took the scarf out of your hair, you seem to have changed completely." Tries to explain Nami, but it didn't seem to work, she kept looking at me and then looking away. Did something happen ?.
Anyway, this explains a little bit, maybe some additional effect of my Akuma no Mi, something I was using unconsciously .... For now we are going to remove the Pirate Buggy registration. Fumu.
And so the Buggy fight, he turned his attention to his crew, looking at them with deadly looks.
"Shoot the Buggy Ball." Buggy shouted.
So the fight followed the rhythm of the anime, of course there were some different things, Zoro faced Cabaji, but he did it in such an idiotic way, that it was incomprehensible, Cabaji convinced Zoro to give him an advantage, so Cabaji managed to hurt Zoro still worse than in the anime. And then Zoro defeated him ... It was so stupid of Zoro to do that, but it was his choice. At least I got some interesting records ....
Referring to Luffy's fight against Buggy, it was particularly the same as I remembered, but when Buggy attacked Nami to get his treasures back, I was there. So in the end it was easier for Luffy to defeat him.
After defeating the Buggy pirates, the villagers arrived and tried to defend their mayor, so while Luffy carried Zoro we ran away. Chouchou was there to help us during the attack.
"Ahh ... I'm hungry ..." As soon as we got to the coast, Luffy said the first thing.
"Amazingly I am too ..." Well I was too, so I couldn't complain about him.
"So ... What are you doing now?. Are you a crew?" I ask looking at the three.
"We are going to the next island to eat meat." Shouts Luffy.
"Of course not, idiot, the first thing we have to do is get a ship." Nami pulls Luffy's cheek.
To tell you the truth I was very anxious at that moment, I wanted to ask if I could join them ... But the words did not come out of my mouth ... It was as if my throat was clogged. The three eyes that were staring at me, looked like great mountains pressing on me. Discouraged, I almost gave up asking.
"By the way, do you have any place in mind to go ... You said you were on an island and then you infiltrated the Buggy pirates, now that you've" been kicked out, "what are you thinking of doing ?." Ask Nami to me ....
"I don't know ... I will probably look for a crew to enter ..." I say with a slightly dejected look, my hope are gone ....
===========================
Nami POV
It was a weird mood, I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to ask a question. And it seemed to make him even more discouraged. I didn't understand why.
"Shishishishshi. Then you can join my crew." Luffy says with that smile he has.
'Of course he will not come in, look at that discouraged look, it must be because of this that he is so discouraged, he did not want to be invited to his crew and go through so many problems.' I thought to myself, almost rolling my eyes at Luffy's question. But the following reaction was completely beyond my expectation.
The boy looked at Luffy with such happiness, with a smile growing on his face. Of all the smiles I saw of him today, I must say that this was the best one so far.
I swear I could see, when he was discouraged it looked like he had droopy dog ears. But now, it seems that his ears are raised so happy that he looks ..... Why does he look so cute?!?!? ....
============================
Hearing Luffy's question, it felt like I had just come out of the freezing hell and entered heaven, all the pressure I had seemed to disappear mysteriously, all I could say was.
"YES."
Good night. Another chapter. I'm really excited, I can't stop writing. Did I have a small change in the way I write, did it get better or worse?. We had a little POV from Nami, was it nice? What did you think of Nami's thoughts on Mc, I know that many like MC as an Alpha male, but as I said I will try to make the romance progress slowly and naturally, and I'm sure you realized that Mc is not the type to just take the girl to bed and that's it. Of course he is far from being a protagonist who takes no action. Just don't wait for the Protagonist to get to some girl and then have a perfect romantic night and then be dating, it won't happen. Next volume will be meeting Ussop, I hope you still want to read my story. >. <It's 4:00 am, I'm going to sleep and only wake up at 12:30.
