Lookout for the Straw Hats!

Chapter 3: Krusty wannabe executes me... almost

It was just as I'd feared.

Buggy the Clown revealed himself, along with the rest of his crew. I'd recognize his creepy laugh anywhere. Especially after spending my afternoon robbing him of all the money, he had on his ship. Which was not a lot.

But crap. Them being here means they could reveal me in front of all these people. Why didn't I just kill them? Stupid!

I anxiously moved myself behind Luffy and tried to hide from the clown. I really didn't feel like dealing with him again, so hopefully he wouldn't notice I was here. After all, my sword wouldn't do jack against him, and my devil fruit could only do so much when he could chop his body up. Please, just work with me and keep me hidden, Luffy.

Buggy began striking his weird poses and began shouting, "Now that I've flashily made my entrance, behold the real star of the show! Ah, Monkey D. Luffy. Ever since the day you sent me flying, I've been exacting my revenge on you. That alone led me to finally finding my crew. My travels are an epic saga. I went through hell, found friendship, I even lost parts of my body and most of my wealth. I call this tale, "Tiny Buggy's Great Adventure!" The first thing that happened was- Why the hell am I telling you a story?!"

I have no clue Buggy. I mean, the lore dump was much appreciated, but you weren't even telling the truth about how much money you had. What wealth were you hiding from me? Cause I only got 50,000 berries from you. That's chump change.

My snort of laughter gave me away, because when I looked back into the crowd, I saw Buggy's beady eyes staring right back at me. Goddamnit, why must I do this to myself?

He looked at me a second longer before falling on his butt and screaming, pointing at me, "YOU!! WHY ARE YOU WITH STRAW HAT!?!?" Luffy turned around to look at me and asked with a questioning look, "You know Boogie, Y/n?"

I wish I didn't. He's annoying as hell.

I came out from behind Luffy and just dragged my hand down my face in annoyance. "Unfortunately, I do know him. I robbed him of his meager stash of money earlier today because I was desperately looking for food but thought it wouldn't hurt to take whatever money I could get. Hehe, boogie. That's funny, Luffy. Nice one." I high fived him and laughed, but didn't get to say anymore because Buggy jumped to defend himself.

Spit flying everywhere, Buggy screamed at us, "You both know it's Buggy!! And now, Buggy the Clown's gonna make you two pay for that!!" Once the people in the crowd heard Buggy's full name, they went into a panic and began losing it. I guess I couldn't blame those people. A weird nosed creepy guy just came in and started tearing up the place.

Buggy put his hand out and said seriously, "You people flashily stay where you are! I want every single one of you to see exactly how scary I can be." All his crew pulled out their guns and aimed them at the large crowd. Damn, now I felt even more sorry for these people because now they're stuck here with weird Buggy.

Suddenly, my head was forced down and the next thing I knew, I was in a stockade right alongside Luffy. I began looking around, confused as hell, wondering how tf I didn't see anyone sneak up on us. And I thought I was pretty good at spotting danger. Oh well, I guess I just don't have any good skills anymore. Rest in peace Y/n.

"How did Big Nose get the jump on me? How did he get the jump on both of us, for that matter?" Luffy didn't answer me, and if I'm being honest, I didn't expect him to. I just needed to voice out my frustration.

I looked up as much as I could from this incredibly uncomfortable position and realized it wasn't Buggy who got us, but that crewmate of his with the blue and white checkered scarf. I hated to admit it, but he's got a sick scarf.
