Back on the boat...
"It was a about a week after that when Shanks and his crew had to leave for their adventure, but enough time for them to help me out in learning how to use my new ten friends. Overtime I added more friends to the Omnitrix, which I found out about during another adventure with a Mr. Diamond.
But before Shanks left, I told him that I would become a pirate and go on a great adventure. I might even be the Pirate King when I was done. Shanks just laughed and handed me his straw hat, and told me to return it when I was a great pirate. So I can let anything happen to the hat until I make it to One Piece, cause if I find that I will be the greatest pirate in the world.
This was just one of my adventures, since holding the Omnitrix brings a lot of them. It's part of the reason I like it so much." said the boy in the straw hat as he looked at the sky.
"I wonder what they did with the devil fruit. A thing which can turn you into rubber man could be very valuable, even with the draw back of never being about to swim again. And..." Zoro looked and saw a flash of green light as Mr. Ray appeared then took to the sky after the little pink bird.
Zoro stoppped and groaned in frustration, paddling after the idiot in an monster's body. He soon caught up with a couple of pirates dressed weirdly. They looked at the boat Zoro was in and rushed at it. They were yelling at Zoro, "Give us the boat and maybe we won't leave you to the sharks."
"Really, I think you might want to rethink that." said Zoro as he drew his two swords and the last one was in his mouth already.
About ten minutes later...
The pirates were rowing the boat as Zoro reclined, as they moved the boat some where they could walk on solid earth. One of the new men were speaking, "You're going to be sorry you messed with us. We're part of of Buggy's crew, he's the most powerful pirate in the Eastern Blue. He's eaten a rare devil fruit which has given him an unbeatable power.
The bird at that time was flying over a nearby town, as an orange headed woman was running from a group of pirates. Gun shots ring out as they are aimed at Luffy who was flying after the bird. Luffy dropped and landed in front of the young woman and said, "That was interesting. Anyone tell me where I am?"
The orange haired woman spoke up fast, "Thanks for coming in boss. I have the map like you asked for. I'll take it back to the ship and you take these loser down."
Thr girl was gone before Luffy could even react with a "What?" leaving the boy to face the gang of goons before the straw hat boy. He turned to them only to see them advance on him with menace... before a green flash occured, replacing Luffy with Mr. Hand. The sudden clapping of all four of the hands created a great boom which launched the men into the air far away from them. The Luffy returned to human form to look for the strange girl.
The girl showed up from where she had been hidding around one of the houses in the village as she spoke, "My name is Nami. I could really use someone of your skills to help me with my business dealings. Looking for a job?"
Luffy looked at the girl and noted her appearance. She wore some short skirt with circle like designs on the side of them to the legs, a belt holding them up. She had a white blouse with a blue stripe covering up her upper arms completely. She was wearing leather boots as well. She ws thin in build, but had some curves to her.
"Nope. My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I was just looking for some meat. Why did you tell those guys I was your boss?" asked Luffy, as his stomach growled at the word meat.
"I'll treat you to some lunch as I explain." said Nami as she took him to one of the buildings.
Much later...
"I guess this is what Shanks means by there being no such thing as a free lunch." said Luffy as he sat in a cage on Buggy the Clown's pirate ship. He had lunch with Nami which was mostly meat for Luffy, as the woman explained she would stop at nothing to collect a hundred million beli. Lufy had asked if that was why she had stolen the map, but it turned out Nami was a navigator. Given this info, Luffy started to ask her to join his pirate crew given they had need of one. Turns out she hated pirates, which explained why she had tied him up. It didn't explain why she had handed him over to Buggy.
But now Buggy was throwing a party as Nami returned the map she stole. Leaving Luffy clueless, and hungry over the meat being displayed. There was always room for meat, which is why Luffy turned into Mr. Brain and slipped out of the ropes. Then hoped out of the cage to where the meat was being displayed for eating. Luffy had turned into a small alien who was measured in inches with grey skin, huge eyes with horizontal pupils and a black stripe in the middle of his face. His hands were oversized as was his feet, and his teeth were pointy sharp. On his head was a tiny straw hat.
'Good thing Mr. Brain is small, which means the meat is bigger!' thought Luffy as he watched the clown captain roll out a giant cannon and it's huge ball, a ball which reminded Luffy of someone he was. Buggy fired the ball at the houses in the town, crushing a row of houses.
"Alright, now it's time to fire the prisoner from the cannon with a Buggy Bomb!" cried the clown as all eyes turned from the party to the... empty cage! For one minute everyone blinked their eyes, before the shock was shaken off.
"What kind of treachery is this? Is this some kind of scam to make off with my treasure, girl? Maybe you would like to have a ride on the Buggy bomb. Men, shove her into the cannon!" said the red noised captain as his men moved to do this.
Luffy instantly used his transformation powers to become Mr. Lizard. Mr. Lizard was a eight foot brown skined lizard with feet like an elephant if they had claws. It's hands were human like with claws of their own as well as being huge, his head was more lizard like then human in shape. On his chest was the Omnitrix symbol and on his head was a straw hat. Luffy roared as he moved to protect the woman who had betrayed them. She was just out of reach and time was running out with the cannon being lit, so Luffy did the obvious thing... increase his length by growing.
He picked her up with his enlarged form while his second hand tried to put out the fuse, or it would have had it not smashed the cannon's backside with his increased strength. The answer was clear, "Oops, I think I can fix that. Or I would if you didn't try to hurt Nami here."
Nami seemed to be in a little shock as she tried to figure out what had happened. Luffy figured she might have seen him as Mr. Ray, but guessed he had been wrong. Which was made more apparent when she started to scream. It was in this chaos of screaming girls and panicing pirates, where Zoro popped up on the boat with swords in their places.
"Why am I getting the feeling that promising to be your first mate is going to kill me? So what is happening here?" said Zoro as he looked at the giant lizard with the bracelet symbol on his chest.
"Zoro Roronoa, the famous pirate hunter! You're here to collect the fifthteen million beli bounty on my head for all of my powerful pirating activities. If I take you down though, I not only save my own hide but I also increase my infamy with an increase to my bounty. Time to die, Zoro!" said Buggy as the Clown attack the 'former' pirate hunter.
This was how Zoro was facing a man with red lips, a huge round red nose and a crossbones painted on his forehead. His hair was a bright blue and pigtails could be popping out of the his orange captain's hat, the hat holding his trademark Skull and Bones. Stripe shirt and stockings, blue pants as he also a red over coat over his shoulders. Oversized brown shoes and white gloves on his hands.
Zoro reacted with instant training as he used his trio of blades to slice and dice Buggy into more managable pieces. As he fought, Zoro felt the surprise hit of a point in his side. From the ground where the piece of Buggy lay, they flew up and remerged back into the rightful place they took on the body. This included the hand which had stabbed him in the side with a dagger. Buggy was now there whole and sound, ready to fight.
"Guess you never hear of the Bara Bara Fruit? One of the rarest devil fruits, it allows me to seperate my body at any point. I've trained myself to divide my body at the point a slashing weapon like a sword is about to hit me. It makes me an unbeatable pirate which allows me to become the most powerful pirate in the Eastern Blue. I can also control all of my parts, which means I can attack my enemies from behind with no fear of damage to myself." said Buggy as he laughed at the wounded Zoro.
"You're nothing but a big coward with a big red nose. Hitting someone from behind is one of the lowest thing you can do, making you a failure as a pirate!" said Luffy as he looked at the gradually shrinking captain, as anger caused the lizardman to grow.
"But all pirates fight that way because they're all cowards." said Nami as she tried to stay up in the enlarging alien's grasp. It didn't help that Buggy had thrown a knife against the brown monster, only for it to be caught in the teeth of the creature. Caught and smashed into steel splinters as teeth stronger then metal mashed against each other.
Zoro took this moment to rush Buggy again for an attack, as a sword sliced through the clown's midsection. Buggy's top flew up hight, high enough for Zoro to slip between it and the legs. Using forward momentum, Zoro burst on through until he was next to the cannon with Luffy. Zoro turned to Luffy and said, "I was thinking of firing this, but it seems to be out of order... Luffy. Any idea how we're going to get out of this one?"
Luffy shrunk down to eight feet and then smiled as he answered Zoro.
