Celestia noticed as she watched the clown approach them. She wasn't much of a fan for them and especially not when they took something of hers.
"Buggy the clown." Buggy spoke as he introduced himself. "People also know me as Buggy, the flashy fool or Buggy, the genius jester."
"Wow." Luffy spoke as he listened. "You really have a lot of names. I bet that everyone in the East Blue knows who you are." He spoke as he grinned. Excited to meet another pirate other than Shanks.
"What did you just say to me?" Buggy asked. The crowd around them gasping in shock. Striding over to Luffy as he grabbed him by the face with one had.
"That everyone knows who you are." Luffy repeated. Seeing nothing wrong with what he said.
"Nose?!" Buggy spoke up. It was a sensitive topic to him. "Trying to be funny boy? Are you making fun of my nose?" Not having to say a word as his crew gathered around them.
"Well.." Luffy started as he spoke through his cheeks being squished by the clown. "I wasn't but now that you mention it.. is it real?" He asked. Trying to touch it.
Buggy slapped his hand away before he could touch it. The smack echoing across the tent. "What is real is that I have been scheming and planning for months.." He let go of Luffy and moved down the line to Nami. "On stealing that map from axe-hand moron." He laughed. "Get it?" He asked Nami.
Nami looked at him without saying a word before turning her head away. Glancing towards the others.
Buggy shrugged it off as he moved away from her. He had enjoyed his little joke either way. "Come to find out that I was upstaged by four little nobodies! My map was stolen by you four and I want it back." Stepping closer to them. "Taken from right under my nos- No!" Buggy yelled. "Now it's in my head! Argh!"
Luffy watched him turn his back on them. "Hey! I am not a nobody. I'm Monkey D. Luffy and I will be king of the pirates." He grinned.
Nami couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words. It was not the time to say such things if he valued his own life.
Sanji listened to the whole commotion as he stood infront of Celestia. Keeping his hand in hers. Not letting his guard down around Buggy.
Buggy listened as he laughed. "Oh?" He laughed a bit more. "Now that's funny." He spoke. His audience forced to laugh. Holding his hands out and closing them to have the laughing stop. "You realize who you're talking to right? My bounty posters grace the marquee of many marine outposts for miles. You don't even have a bounty for yourself."
The clown walked around them from a distance. "My group of freaks, my crew, is the most dreaded pirate crew the East Blue has ever known. I am the one who was destined to find the one piece." Walking closer to them once more. "And when that happens... I will be king."
"That's not really true." Celestia finally spoke.
Buggy giving her a small look after her answer before being blocked by Sanji from looking at her at all.
Luffy let them talk before he laughed a bit. "No you won't." He spoke. "Cause I will be finding it first." He confidently confirmed.
"You and your pathetic sad little crew? Don't make me laugh." Buggy spoke. One of his crew made the audience laugh once more using the laugh sign they had. "I said don't make me laugh!" He turned to face the crowd. Huffing at their wrong timing like usual.
Celestia listened before stepping forwards and out from behind Sanji. "Where is it?" She asked.
Buggy listened before glancing over his shoulder. "What?" He asked as he glanced at the purple haired girl.
"You took some things of mine and I want it back." She spoke as she stood her ground.
Sanji kept a close eye on her. Mostly the clown's men to make sure they wouldn't try anything.
Buggy laughed at her. "I'm not scared of you little girl."
Celestia remained unfazed by him. "Not yet.. but you will."
"Are you threatening me?" Buggy asked as he walked closer.
"I don't do threats." Celestia informed him as she stepped closer as well.
Zoro listened to her as he liked seeing that side of her. He knew how fierce she could be at times. Walking in front of her. "Alright. Listen up." He spoke up. A light being shined on him. "I'm Roronoa Zoro. Drop your weapons now and I might let you live." Placing his hand on Celestia's shoulder. "Or I'll let her have her way with your captain and then all of you."
Celestia placed her hand over his as she gave it a small squeeze. Her way of thanking him for helping her out.
Sanji gave a small jealous grunt under his breath. Remembering what Zoro had said as he knew now that she liked him. He was the lucky one. Walking closer as he placed one hand her waist respectfully.
Zoro noticed as he kept his hand on her shoulder. He wouldn't back down just because of him. She was still his friend.
Buggy glanced at the three of them before bursting into laughter. "Ladies and gentlemen." He spoke up. "It seems to me like we have celebrities amongst us." He chuckled before growing serious. "It's a shame I don't like sharing the spotlight with anyone else."
Celestia watched the spotlight move towards the clown as she did her best to remain calm.
"How about we just skip to the finale? Hm?" Buggy asked. Holding his hand out to show the knifes he had between his fingers. "My freaks happened to put a bit of rehearsal time into this abduction. And if I can't reward them with that map, then I will with a pound of flesh."
Nami listened to him before walking infront of the three. "Wait wait wait. What if I offered you something better than the map?" She asked.
The idea caught his interest. "Go on." He spoke.
"What if I gave you a new freak for your crew?" Nami continued. "A rare talent. The most spectacular act in all of the East Blue and right into your hands." Walking to the side a bit. "Besides you, of course."
Luffy was grinning as he didn't know what she had in mind. His face immediately changing when his hat was grabbed and thrown into the air. Stretching his hands into the air to catch it.
Nami then took the chance of them being distracted and making a run for it. Leaving the other four of them behind.
Celestia noticed as she huffed. Glancing at the closest crewmate to her, Sanji, and Zoro. Grabbing them before elbowing them as she took their sword.
Zoro watched as he smirked a bit. "You're too much of a fiesty one." He spoke quietly.
"Enjoy the show while it lasts." Celestia joked as she smiled. Glancing at Sanji as she quickly placed a peck on his cheek before turning her head away as she blocked an attack. Being quick on her feet.
Sanji's cheeks turned red as he smiled. "I'll be helping you out."
"I can handle a few pirates on my own."
"I know but fighting together can be romantic."
Zoro was indeed enjoying her little stunt. He knew she was still that fighter he had helped her become. His eyes scanning the two of them as even he could see that her and Sanji were made for each other. Her moves being mesmerizing and graceful that she didn't look like the type to hurt anyone. It was a perfect combination for her.
Sanji was falling in love all over again and he had to stop himself from showing his grin. Wanting to keep her safe for as long as he could.He was in deep with no escape and no complains. Loving every second of her and the relationship that was blooming between them.
