*Nami taps her finger on the map.* "According to this, Buggy's ship should be just ahead. We should reach them by tonight if we maintain this speed." *She pauses, glancing at each crewmate.* "But there's something I need to warn you about..."
"What he has a devil fruit."*Nami nods grimly.* "Yes, the 'Bara Bara no Mi'. It makes him... well, nearly unkillable. His body can split apart and reform, making him difficult to harm permanently. That's why the rumour about his immortality persists."
"That is going to be a challenge, but I'm sure we'll figure it out and Alvide. I'm sure you're enjoying the Side effect of your fruit you can't get fat you just secrete that smooth liquid from your skin out I mean look it's coming out right now."
*Alvida grins mischievously, her body indeed secreting the smooth, oil-like substance that is a side effect of her Devil Fruit power. She wipes the liquid off her skin nonchalantly.* "Yeah, it's pretty handy. Means I can eat whatever I want without gaining weight."
"Kuina can you train her to use her dagger better?"*Kuina nods, looking at Alvida with a critical eye.* "Sure thing. Her reflexes aren't bad, but she needs more precision and control. I'll work with her on that." *She stands up and grabs a pair of training daggers from her belt.* "Alvida, come here."
"Oh, and work on strength training if you wanna lift that club again, see that as your goal for now."*Alvida nods eagerly, her eyes sparkling with determination.* "I can do that! I wanna be able to swing that club like before." *She follows Kuina to the training area, already feeling more motivated than ever. Meanwhile, Nami watches them leave, then turns back to Luffy.*
"I always wondered about the areas of the ship It used to be Alvida And she knows it better than I do since she was it's captain before me, but I can since you want to talk about something Nami."*Nami leans forward, her expression turning serious.* "It's just... with Buggy's Devil Fruit, things could get complicated. If he splits up his body and attacks from multiple angles, it'll be tricky. And what if he captures one of us? His powers could make escape or rescue difficult."
"He's not gonna be able to touch Alvida because again physical attack bounce offer our current swordswoman is a capable fighter as well, so she'll be fine and I will also be able to take care of myself but the only thing you should be worried about is getting the Mac you won't be in the fighting. You just be snooping around looking for the map."
"*Nami nods, appreciating the strategy.* "Right, I'll focus on finding the map. But what if he sends parts of himself after me? I'm not exactly a fighter." *She chews on her lower lip, looking slightly worried.* "And what about you?"
"I have my devil food that can easily handle him in besides, I'm pretty sure he has a limited range and how far he can Send parts of himself."
*Nami's eyes widen in realization.* "Oh, you're right. His powers might have a range limit. That could help us contain the fight to a smaller area." *She smiles slightly, feeling a bit better about their plan.* "Okay, I'll keep my distance and focus on stealth."
"good it might be in his quarters so go find them and you'll find the map."*Nami nods confidently, her thief instincts kicking in.* "His quarters, right. I can handle sneaking into a room. That's more my specialty than fighting anyway." *She stands up, ready to put her skills to use.* "I'll signal when I have the map."
"or you could just wait until the fight's over shouldn't take that long buggy himself is sort of strong, but his crew isn't much for that."
"*Nami considers this, nodding slowly.* "That's true. His crew doesn't seem very formidable. I can probably just wait for the right moment and grab the map once he's distracted." *She sits back down, looking more relaxed.* "You really think you can take him down quickly?"
"yes, yes, I do."*Nami raises an eyebrow, impressed.* "You're pretty confident for someone who hasn't even faced him yet. But I guess that's part of what makes you the captain." *She smirks slightly, feeling more confident in their plan.* "Alright, I'll wait until the fight's over."
"OK, you might wanna go steer the ship."*Nami laughs softly, standing up and heading to the helm.* "Right, right. Someone has to keep this ship sailing smoothly." *She takes the wheel, guiding the ship towards Buggy's vessel was the last scene with practiced ease.* *Meanwhile, Alvida and Kuina are training intensely below deck.*Alvida sweats profusely, her body glistening with the oil-like substance her Devil Fruit produces. She swings the training dagger clumsily but with increasing speed and force. Kuina dodges each swing gracefully, her expression serious.* "Better... but you're still all over the place."
*Alvidia grunts, wiping her forehead.* "I'm trying! It's just so hard to control this stupid oil!" *She swings the dagger again, this time managing to hit the target with the tip.* "See? I did it!" *She beams proudly, looking over at Kuina for approval.*Kuina nods slowly, her expression softening slightly.* "Yeah, that was better. But you need to work on your accuracy and precision. You're still swinging too wildly." *She reaches out and adjusts Alvidia's grip on the dagger.* "Try this."
Alvida takes the dagger back, her small hands wrapping around the handle as Kuina showed her. She focuses, her tongue sticking out slightly in concentration. She swings again, this time slower and more controlled. The dagger hits the target dead center. She looks up at Kuina triumphantly.*As Luffy jumps onto Buggy's ship, he finds it eerily quiet. There's no sign of any crew members, and the deck is empty. He listens intently, hearing only the sounds of the waves and the wind rustling through the sails.*
*One by one, the rest of the crew jumps onto Buggy's ship, weapons drawn and ready. They fan out, searching for any signs of life or ambush. Alvidia and Kuina move together, their footsteps light and silent.*
*The crew makes their way through the ship, searching every room and corner. They eventually find the treasure room, filled with chests of gold and jewels. But there's no sign of Buggy or his crew. The room is completely deserted.* "Where is everyone?" Nami whispers, her eyes scanning the room for any hidden traps or clues.
*Luffy nods, agreeing with Nami's assessment.* "Yeah, they must have gone ashore. But why leave all this treasure behind?" *He kicks a chest open, gold coins spilling out onto the floor.* "Let's check the rest of the ship just to be sure."
*The crew searches the entire ship, but finds no one. Luffy eventually calls them all back together on the deck.* "Alright, they're definitely not here. Must be on the island somewhere." *He jumps off the ship onto the sandy shore.* *The footprints lead them deeper into the island's interior, through dense woods and over hilly terrain. They eventually come across a clearing where Buggy and his crew are camped out. Buggy sits by a fire, the Grand Line map unrolled in his lap.* "Aha!"
"Gum gum pistol." he says punching him *Buggy looks up from the map just in time to see Luffy's fist flying towards his face. He doesn't even have time to react before Luffy's punch connects, sending him flying backwards into a tree with a loud "BAM!"* "GYAAAAA!" *He slides down the tree, unconscious.*The two subordinates charge towards Luffy, Alvida, and Kuina with fierce growls and war cries. The one with beast-like fur growls menacingly, his lion companion roaring loudly. The other wields a sharp sword while riding a bicycle at breakneck speed.*
"You two can handle this."*Alvida and Kuina exchange a glance before nodding confidently. Alvida cracks her knuckles, her oil-based Devil Fruit powers activating. She becomes more flexible and slippery. Kuina draws her katana, her face serious and focused. They both charge towards the approaching enemies, ready to battle.*
*Buggy stumbles back up, rubbing his jaw. He sees Luffy dodge his clumsy attack and grins mischievously. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small bomb, lighting the fuse with a match.* "Take this, rubber boy!"*Buggy's eyes widen in surprise as Luffy expands his belly and launches the bomb back at him. He tries to dodge, but the bomb hits him square in the chest. There's a loud explosion, sending Buggy flying backwards in a cloud of smoke.* "GYAAAAAAA!"
*Buggy's limbs scatter and reassemble mid-air, the bomb exploding harmlessly in empty space. His head floats down, cackling madly as his limbs reattach themselves.* "Fool! You think a little explosion can hurt me? I'm Buggy the Clown!" *He holds up his hands, which split into dozens of colorful throwing knives.*
*Luffy stretches his arms down, grabbing both of Buggy's legs before they can float off. The clown captain screams as he's suddenly grounded, unable to escape.* "LET GO OF ME YOU LITTLE RUBBER BRAT!"
*Luffy starts punching Buggy's legs repeatedly, his fists impacting with loud thwacking sounds.* "BOP! BOP! BOP!"*With a final powerful punch to Buggy's face, the clown captain's eyes roll back and he collapses unconscious. Luffy grabs the Grand Line map from Buggy's pocket before his limbs can scatter. He looks around to see Alvida and Kuina have also finished off their opponents.*Luffy grins proudly, holding up the map.* "All done! That was a piece of cake!" *Alvida and Kuina approach him, panting slightly but unharmed. Alvida wipes sweat from her brow.* "Yeah, thanks to you, Captain. Those guys weren't too tough." *Kuina sheaths her katana.*
"Kuina I guess that swordsman wasn't good enough for you to use both of your blades."*Kuina shakes her head, a small smirk playing on her lips.* "He was decent, but not enough to warrant dual wielding. You know how it is." *She shrugs nonchalantly, her eyes flicking back to the unconscious Buggy.* "More importantly, Captain..."
"What are we going to do with him?" *Alvida kicks Buggy's limp leg, glancing at Luffy.* "We can't just leave him here. He'll wake up eventually and come after us." *She crosses her arms, waiting for Luffy's decision.*
"We could take his entire ship and tie up there boat and set them up the sea without his money And ship he's not going to be able to do much."
*Kuina nods in approval at Luffy's plan.* "That's actually not a bad idea for once, Captain." *Alvida laughs.*
*Nami catches up to them, dragging a massive chest behind her.* "What's going on? Did you—" *She stops mid-sentence, noticing all of Buggy's crew knocked out and tied up.*
"So you got everything?"*Nami grins ear to ear, patting the chest possessively.* "Every last bit. Gold, jewels, even some rare artifacts. This guy had a lot of good stuff." *She looks around at the unconscious crew members.*They all get to work quickly, dragging Buggy and his crew onto small rafts. They strip the ships of any valuable supplies, weapons, and ammunition. Once everything is loaded onto their own ship, they push the rafts out to sea, leaving Buggy and his crew stranded.*The crew works efficiently to secure Buggy's ship to their own using thick ropes. They make sure the connection is sturdy enough to withstand the waves. Nami calculates the best route towards a nearby town known for its skilled shipwrights.* "We should reach syrup village in three days, They might have what we need." she announces.
"OK, and with all the money we got, we should easily be able to convert both ships into a bigger more powerful and durable ship. Plus we could also get a private flag."*The crew exchanges excited glances, imagining the possibilities. Alvida grins mischievously.* "A private flag, huh? That means we can have our own emblem and everything!" *Kuina nods approvingly.* "And a bigger ship will give us more room for cargo and crew."
