~Buggy's Unexpected Treasure~

~A Night You Won't Forget~

"It was October 31st, the night of Halloween and I wasn't planning on spending my night at some shitty circus themed haunted house.."

"Come on! It won't be that bad!" Your friend, Vivian, says while dragging your hand to the entrance.

"Do we really have to do this? Why don't we just head back home and spend our night watching some bad horror movies and stuff our faces with candy?" You say trying to stop your friend from dragging you in more.

"Don't be such a wimp. Besides, I heard the clown that works here is really hot." She muttered, shortly bursting out into laughter afterwards.

"Whatever. Let's just get this over with.." You say as you enter the circus.

you look around at this seemingly poorly decorated excuse for a circus. "I mean seriously.. who decorated this place? Pirates?!" As you walk further inside you are scared by people dressed in various circus and clown themed outfits.

Vivian screams loudly while grabbing onto your right arm. You just roll your eyes.

"Seriously? This isn't even scary" You mumble. As you finish your sentence the lights quickly shut off leaving you in pitch blackness.

"What the hell?" You shout out. As you struggle to walk around you feel a cold hand graze the side of your hip. You jump confused at whatever you just felt.

"STOP IT, VIV!" You scream. No reply.

"VIV.. SERIOUSLY THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" the lights suddenly flicked back on and you are greeted by a tall man. He has bright blue hair, an orange pirate hat, and most importantly the most gorgeous green eyes you have ever seen. You realize your friend was right. He is a total hottie.

"Welcome to the show, darling." The man says with a raspy voice. You look down to notice his left hand is missing and suddenly you realize it is resting on your shoulder.

You scream, absolutely terrified by the sight you are witnessing.

"WHERE AM I? AND WHY IS YOUR HAND NOT ATTACHED TO YOUR ARM?!" You yell out. Your mind is flooded with questions.

"Let's start from the beginning.." he says. "I'm Buggy the Clown and this is my circus" He smirks at you. "Now.. what's your name then?"

"Where is my friend?!" you shout.

"You didn't answer my question.." he replies, glaring at you. He seemed angry. You realize he might not be someone to mess with.

"Fine... my name is Y/N. Happy? Now, please tell me how I can leave and get back to my friend.." You say. He stares hard at you. You suddenly feel lost in his eyes. "No..why am I feeling like this.." you think to yourself.

"Oh.. you're not going anywhere Y/N.." He grins following with a wink.

"What have I gotten myself into..."

Before you even get the chance to respond, Buggy quickly shuffles closer to you, locking eye contact. He looks you up and down almost as if he's studying your appearance. "I could use someone like you on my crew" He says, teasingly.

"Crew? Why would I want to be a stupid clown and wear a lame red nose-" Before you even finish your sentence, Buggy grabs your face. "Don't you DARE ever insult my nose again!" he shouts. You quickly fall to your knees in shock. I didn't realize how serious he was about his nose..

Buggy crouches down to your level. "You're lucky you're cute or else you'd be dead." He smiles. You get up and slowly start to back away from him. Scared but intrigued by his presence.

"So.. what exactly do you want from me?" you ask. He pauses for a second and begins to inch closer to you. "I've heard of you before. I could use someone like you to help me get to the Grand Line. I know you're good with maps." He grins at you. "How did he know I'm good with maps?" I think to myself.

"What makes you think I would help you?" you reply.

"What makes you think you have a choice?" He expresses with a smile.

"wait..I thought this was a haunted house?" You're confused by this change in events.

"Of course not, silly! I am a pirate and a captain. I am only here to lure in people. Most importantly you."

"me? Am I really that important?"

"the most important.." Buggy grabs you by the hand and begins to drag you away into another room. The touch of his hand feels nice but you know better than to be fooled by a pirate.

"What about Vivian?!" you shout.

"She'll be fine..Don't worry, sweetie."

You find yourself in another room full of maps. They are spread all over the walls and tables. A specific one catches your eye. A map to the Grand Line.

"How did you even get this?!" You say pointing to it.

"I have my secrets.." He winks. You roll your eyes. You feel the presence of Buggy staring down at you. "I want to travel here to find the One Piece and become king of the pirates." He exclaimed.

"Pfft. As if you'd find it" you tease at him, not realizing he's serious about this. He grabs you by the chin, leaning you closer to his face. "I'm very serious about it. That's why you're mine now." You can feel your face become bright red and your heart begins to beat faster. Those words hit you like a rock. "mine...I can't believe I'm in this mess with no escape" you think to yourself. Suddenly ,without realizing, you begin to sob. You can feel Buggy's grip loosen on your face.

"I know it's a lot to handle right now but your days with me are going to be exciting. We will discuss this more in the morning." Buggy signals to follow him into the next room over. In there you find a bed, desk, and wardrobe.

"This is where you can stay for tonight. Tomorrow we will leave for the sea. I'll come back in a bit to check on you, I have to finish off this circus..." Buggy exits the room leaving you all alone.

Feeling scared, alone, and vulnerable, you begin to cry again. You can't believe something like this is happening to you. You of all people?! Feeling helpless, you lay down on the bed with tears still filling up your eyes. As time passes, you drift off into sleep.
