CO...
So Artemisia would like for it to go on the record that she never wanted to let Buggy the Clown live. He was annoying, she hated him, and he locked her in a guillotine box. She had hoped that after they had knocked him down a couple of sizes, they would never hear from him again. She was praying to whatever higher powers were out there to keep her as far away from him as possible. SO WHY WAS HE HERE RIGHT NOW?!
That's right. The head of Buggy the Clown sat on the table of fishmen. Artemisia gritted her teeth, crossing her arms over her chest with a look on her face that everyone could only describe as exasperation, "The fucking annoying clown?"
Meanwhile, Luffy had a different reaction, "Burpy?"
The words Buggy chose to focus on were Artemisia's, "Hey, I'm offended, dollface."
There was nothing stopping the laughs that escaped Artemisia, "Your freaks put me in a torture device! I can treat you how I like!" She was almost sawed in half. She at least got to treat the culprit like shit. She did not go through that mental torture for him to let him get off scot-free. That was not how she rolled.
"What are you doing here?" Luffy broke back into the conversation.
"Believe me, it wasn't my first choice either," Buggy stated. He glanced at the fishmen from the corner of his eyes, "But these fine fishy folk persuaded me to point them in the right direction, which ain't easy when you don't have any hands." He let out a chuckle. Artemisia could only imagine. Either way, she didn't feel the least bit sorry for him. He deserved it for everything he put them through. Call her cruel, she does not care.
Shaking his head, Luffy inquired, "How'd you even know how to find me?"
The whole aura of Buggy shifted. Unlike the lightheartedness from before, Artemisia could feel a sort of darkness from him. It shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was. Buggy stared at Luffy with intensity, "I told you. I've got eyes and ears everywhere," Everyone watched in shock as an ear floated out of the red trim of Luffy's hat. Luffy reached up to touch where it came from. Buggy grunted as the ear flew back onto his head. He laughed. Luffy took off his hat to inspect it. Sanji glanced over at Usopp and Artemisia in astonishment. "Stereo!"
