"I did?" Luffy said as some of the fog was clearing in his mind.
"Yes. When you did, it felt good." she said as Luffy tilted his head in confusion. "Listen up boys." she continued. "Who is the most beautiful on these seas?"
"YOU ARE!" the crowd shouted before bowing to her. That question seemed to be the final key to jogging Luffy's memory.
"Alvida?" Luffy asked.
"That's right." she said with a smile. "Glad you remember." Luffy just looked at her as a group of officers surrounded her. "Stop right there!" one of them shouted. "You're under arrest for attacking a police captain! Drop your weapon!" he said before looking up at Luffy. "And you! Get off that!"
"Who did you say you're going to arrest?" Alvida asked in a sweet voice.
"Y-you." one of them stuttered as they all blushed at her.
"Are you really going to arrest me?" she cooed.
"We can't do it sir!" they all said with hearts in their eyes. "She's too beautiful!"
"I don't care!" an officer said with hearts in his eyes. "Just arrest her!" Before they could do anything, a cannonball blew up the fountain, sending a hunk of it at Alvida before it slid off her, leaving her unharmed as it went towards Luffy, who only caught it before dropping it.
"How'd she do that again?" he mumbled as Alvida spoke with the hooded figures who approached her. Alvida looked up to see his confused face before smiling.
"Surprised?" she asked before removing her cloak, showing everyone her slim body. "I guess I did change after eating the Smooth-Smooth Fruit. No attack can hurt me since it slides right off." she said. "Though it couldn't make me any more beautiful than I was before, it did get rid of my freckles."
"Right. That's it." Luffy said, though his face said otherwise. "So what are you here for?"
"To make you, the only man who has ever hit me, all mine." she cooed. "And these guys were looking for you as well." she said as the cloaked men revealed themselves to be Buggy and his crew.
"Now that I've flashily made my entrance, it's time for the real show to start!" he shouted. He then went into a long rant about some of his adventures before screaming "WHY AM I TELLING YOU A STORY?!
"Don't know." Luffy said. "Didn't you learn anything about the last time we fought big nose?"
"YOU DARE CALL ME BIG NOSE!?" Buggy shrieked. "I, BUGGY THE CLOWN, AM GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT YOU RUBBER BASTARD!"
"Buggy the Clown?!" some of the audience said before running, only to be stopped by his crew.
"Stay flashily right where you are!" "Everyone's going to see how scary I am!"
Buggy
shouted
"Really?" Luffy asked. "By having your crew do all the work like this?" Luffy said as he found himself caught in a stockade thanks to Cabaji. "Hi again." Luffy said in a calm tone as if he was talking to an old friend.
"Hello again rubber freak. How's Zoro doing?" Cabaji asked in a smug tone.
"Nice shot Cabaji!" Buggy screamed as he announced that to his 'followers' that he would flashily execute Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy just looked around bored, remembering how stupid Buggy is before he looked down at Alvida.
'Maybe she'll join if I ask.' Luffy thought before being brought out of his thoughts by Buggy's yelling.
"Do you feel honored kid? You're about to die right where Gold Roger did years ago." he said with a smirk.
"Is that so?" Luffy asked with a blank face. Buggy nearly fell over at his calm attitude.
"OF COURSE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK WOULD BE HAPPENING?!" he screamed as it started to cloud up in the sky.
"You couldn't kill me before." he said with a smile, which caused Alvida to grin and piss Buggy off.
"QUIET! I NOW START THESE FESTIVITIES WITH YOUR DEATH!" Buggy screamed, sending his men into an uproar as they cheered. "Guess this is the end." Alvida said with a sad smile.
"Any last words rubber boy?" Buggy asked as he brought out a sword. Luffy smiled before taking a deep breath before speaking with everything he had.
"I AM THE MAN WHO WILL BE KING OF THE PIRATES!" he shouted with the wind. His words left everyone in awe as if they thought he could do it, but Buggy was still laughing at his statement.
"If that's all you have to say, then let's get this started!" he said as he raised his sword.
"STOP THE EXECUTION!" Zoro shouted from behind the crowd. He, Sanji, Johnny, Yosaku, and Gin had met up and were looking for Luffy. They ran towards the square when they heard him shouting.
"RIGHT NOW!" they all shouted. "Guys!" Luffy said. He was glad to see them all as everyone looked at them. None of them noticing Smoker and the marines moving into position.
"The moment Straw Hat dies, take all the other pirates down." he ordered.
"Yes sir!" the marines said quietly. As they were talking, Tashigi saw the man she met before through binoculars as a marine said that he was Zoro and a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"He's...Zoro?" she asked.
"Luffy, you moron." Zoro said with a smirk. "Guess goofing around finally caught up with ya."
"Is this really the time to make jokes big bro?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah." Yosaku agreed. "He's got Brother Captain up there ready to kill him!" "Like he'd be killed by some side-show freak like that." Sanji said as he puffed on his cigarette.
"How'd he get trapped anyway?" Gin asked.
"HAHAHAHA!" Buggy laughed. "Glad you could make it Zoro. Feel free to watch your friend die!" he said before raising his sword into the air. At that moment, all of them began charging towards the platform to stop that sword. Luffy watched, remembering that Zoro and Sanji took too long because of the numbers. This time, with Johnny, Yosaku, and Gin, they were plowing through the pirates like they were blades of grass.
'They're doing great!' Luffy thought before he sensed that Buggy was about to drop the sword onto his neck. He then felt the same way he did last time he was faced with death. "Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! Nami! Gin! Nojiko! Johnny! Yosaku!" he said before smiling at the crowd. "Sorry. I'm dead." The sword then came down towards his neck as his as the five Straw Hats and Smoker gasped for different reasons.
"NO!" "DON'T SAY THAT!"
"BIG BRO!"
"CAPTAIN!"
"He smiled?!"
