The group walked for about three minutes when they finally arrived in front of the bar that Buggy and his crew appeared to have taken over. Luffy looked up at the roof and shouted, "BBUUGGGGYY!" The music playing on the roof stopped and Luffy could see the silhouettes of a group of people walking towards the edge of the roof.
Finally, a group of people appeared and Luffy and his crew saw Buggy standing in the middle of the group. Buggy is a slender, yet muscular blue-haired man with a clown-like appearance, he has a large red nose on his face which Luffy learns from Shanks is his real nose.
Buggy's face was covered in make-up, he had an image of crossbones descending down his face in an X shape; she also has two blue stripes near her eyes, red lipstick and a jolly roger on her hat.
In his pirate captain's attire, he wears a white and red striped shirt with short sleeves, white gloves, a sash around his waist like many other pirates, and a pair of baggy pants reaching up to his calves, just over a pair of striped socks and pointed shoes.
He also has a scarf around his neck. Hanging from his shoulder was a furry orange captain's coat. On his head, he has an orange hat with a Jolly roger on it.
"Who shouted the name of the great Captain Buggy!?" Buggy asked as he stood at the edge of the building looking at Luffy's group.
"Wow, Shanks is right, you do have a big red nose," said Luffy pointing at Buggy's nose. Everyone in Buggy's crew started to sweat and stared at Buggy with a fearful look in their eyes.
"What did you say about my nose!?" Buggy shouted while pointing at Luffy "And how dare you say that bastard's name in front of me!?" Buggy asked again, even angrier than before.
"I said you have a big ... red ... nose," said Luffy making Buggy shake with anger, "And as for Shanks, I am his student," said Luffy proudly.
Buggy paused for a moment before he started chuckling making Luffy raise his eyebrows.
"Everyone! Prepare Buggy's ball!" he shouted to his men. His crew brought the cannon forward and aimed it at Luffy. Another crew member brought a red cannonball with Buggy's Jolly Roger on it and placed it into the cannon.
"Now shoot Buggy's ball!" his shout caused one of his crew members to light a fuse. Zoro then stepped forward and spoke.
"I can handle this captain," he said as he drew one of his swords. When the cannon fired Buggy's ball, it went straight to Luffy and company, but was attacked by Zoro who managed to slice it in half causing it to fly away from Luffy and Nami and crash into two buildings behind them.
Buggy looked like he was going to get angry because his precious Buggy ball was so easily cut but Luffy spoke before he could make a sound.
"You know Zoro, I want to avoid causing more damage to this city. So how about you let me handle Buggy's ball from now on. OK?" Luffy said while looking at the houses that were destroyed by that one ball.
Luffy then turned towards Buggy and spoke. "You know Buggy, you're not what I expected. From what Rayleigh and Shanks have told me about you, I expected you to become a legendary pirate with a bounty of at least 500 million beli. But instead, you're here now, in the weakest of seas, terrorizing innocent civilians. Even though you were once a crew member in Gol D. Roger," said Luffy in a disappointed tone while shocking everyone who was there, from Buggy's own crew members to Zoro and Nami.
Buggy stared in fear before yelling at Luffy.
"Hey! Don't tell them about it! Marines will execute me if they find out!" Buggy said. Before Luffy could say anything, Buggy's crew shouted in unison.
"Captain! You're a member of the Pirate King's ship!?" They all shouted in unison making Buggy almost want to kill them. Luffy raised his eyebrows at their reactions before speaking.
"You didn't even tell your own crew" said Luffy as he walked forward "You don't deserve to call yourself a captain Buggy" said Luffy standing next to Zoro.
Buggy was so angry, Luffy was sure he could see steam coming out of his ears. Buggy then turned towards his Crew and shouted an order.
"Shoot another Buggy ball!" he shouted making his crew members load one of the special cannonballs into the cannon and fire it at Luffy.
Zoro was about to act but Luffy raised his hand, making Zoro stop to see what Luffy was going to do. Zoro then saw Luffy's arm turning pitch black.
Luffy then did something that made everyone present widen their eyes, he caught the cannonball with his bare hands before throwing it into the air so it could explode without damaging anything.
Buggy's eyes almost popped out of his skull and his jaw dropped to the floor, but somehow he managed to make a sound loud enough for everyone to hear.
"H-haki!" Buggy said, causing Luffy to grin before answering.
"Did I forget to mention that I'm from New World?" asked luffy arrogantly when he saw Buggy's entire crew and sent a wave of Conquorer Haki that knocked everyone out except for Buggy, a man on a rollerblade and a man trying to wake up an unconscious lion.
Buggy stared at his men as they fell one after another foaming at the mouth.
'The Conquerer's Haki!' Buggy thought to himself before turning towards the person on the rollerblade and shouting an order.
"Cabaji! Kill them!" he shouted and the man now named Cabaji jumped off the roof on his bicycle and charged towards Luffy's group. Luffy turned towards Zoro and nodded.
Zoro then dashed forward to face him with his three swords drawn. Luffy stood back up and watched Zoro and Cabaji fight. Luffy soon finds out that Cabaji is not a real swordsman, he is a trickster who uses a sword.
While the fight was going on, Luffy saw Buggy's hand fly towards Zoro and quickly Luffy turned his body into lightning, startling Nami and Buggy, and teleported right above Buggy's free hand and stomped on it with his foot.
He then looked at Buggy and spoke in a voice that was completely devoid of emotion.
"If you want to fight someone, I will be happy to fight you," said Luffy. Nami watched this whole incident with widened eyes. First Luffy caught the cannonballs with his bare hands, then he knocked everyone out just by looking at them, then Buggy's hands left his body and now Luffy turned his body into lightning.
'These people aren't human' thought Nami before yelling at the group.
"Are you guys!?" Nami screamed making Buggy and Luffy look at her. Luffy was the first to speak.
"I ate the devil fruit Rumble-Rumble (goro-goro). So, I'm a lightning man," said Luffy surprising Buggy and Nami. Buggy then cleared his throat and spoke.
"I ate a Chop-Chop devil fruit. I'm a Chop-Chop human!" Buggy said proudly. Nami never thought that devil fruit was actually real, she always thought it was just a myth told by pirates.
Luffy saw Nami's confused look and decided to make her think of something else.
"Hey, Nami," said Luffy catching Nami's attention, "Why don't you take care of the person who tried to wake the lion up. Seeing how much he wanted the lion to wake up, it seems like the lion is his main weapon for fighting, so he should be pretty easy to fight. Plus he doesn't pay attention to what's around him so do it secretly or something," said Luffy which made Nami wake up from her shock, but Nami instead screamed at him.
"And why should I do that?" she asked. Luffy smiled at him before speaking.
"Because, if you do, I'll let you keep all the treasure we took from Buggy" Luffy said making Nami's eyes turn into buy marks before running to the man with the lion.
Luffy then looked at Zoro to see he had defeated his opponent and was now sitting in one of the buildings watching Luffy and Buggy. "Help Nami if she needs it," said Luffy, Zoro nodded knowing what Luffy meant.
Luffy then turned towards Buggy and pulled out his sword allowing Zoro to see the sword for the first time. It was a jet black katana with a thin silver line showing the sharpness of the blade.
The katana looked as if it could cut through iron like a hot knife through butter. Buggy then looked at the Katana and grinned.
'Stupid, didn't he hear me say I was a human chop-chop? swords don't work on me he thought' when he saw Luffy suddenly turn his body into lightning and appeared in front of Buggy with his sword in the air.
Instead of dodging the attack, Buggy stood there without moving. Luffy noticed this and changed his swing so it only scratched Buggy's cheek. When Buggy felt the blood running down his face he immediately checked to make sure he was injured or just feeling it, when he saw the blood on his hands he then looked at Luffy with a frightened look and spoke.
"H-how?" he asked. Luffy smiled and spoke.
"Because I'm a lightning man, I control electricity. There's no metal out there that can withstand my lightning and not melt. actually, there are only two things that can withstand my lightning," said Luffy surprising Buggy and Zoro, "Gold, what's clear is my sword not made of that and..." Luffy then smirked before continuing, "Sea stone" Luffy added, making Buggy's eyes widen.
Luffy then brushed the tip of the blade against Buggy's chest causing Buggy to fall to the ground feeling as if all the energy in his body was leaving him.
Luffy then channels his electricity through his sword causing it to glow with blue sparks of electricity before he speaks.
"Binds!" Luffy shouted causing three ropes made of electricity to appear from the tip of his sword and then wrapped around Buggy's body holding him in place.
He then walked up to Cabaji and did the same to him and then the man Nami fought. Luffy then looked at Buggy who was struggling to get untied and spoke.
"Don't bother trying to escape," he said getting Buggy's attention, "That electric flash is full of haki which effectively neutralizes your devil fruit power," said Luffy making Buggy's eyes widen in surprise.
He was about to scream but Luffy spoke before he could. "You know, I have an ability that other logia users don't have. I can infuse haki into my element without it needing to be connected to me," said Luffy confusing Buggy.
Luffy saw Buggy's confused expression and decided to explain. "For example, Marine Admiral Aokiji is an Ice logia user and he can infuse his haki into his ice, but he has to touch the ice to do that and when he releases the ice, the haki also disappears from the ice. I'm on the other hand, when I release the electricity me from my body, my haki is still there," said Luffy surprising Buggy.
Luffy then turned to his crew and spoke "We'll cash their bounty then head to Gecko Island," said Luffy, getting a response from Zoro.
"Why are we going there?" Zoro asked. Luffy smiled and spoke.
"To pick up our sniper," Luffy replied.
