"So, Luffy, what's our plan of action?" I walked alongside him as we were on our way to fight the clown and his circus freaks.

"Simple. We show up and kick their butts," he replied as Zoro lightly chuckled at this.

"I know that, but how are we going to do that exactly?"

He thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know. We'll just wing it."

We all sweat-dropped at this as I sarcastically said, "What an amazing strategy, captain. We'll totally win against those freaks with our solid and foolproof plan."

"I know, right?" he replied. I just rolled my eyes at him.

We then heard shouting near the pub so we made out way towards there. We found ourselves in the middle of a dispute between the chief and Buggy. The floating hand's strangling the chief up in the air as the cannon's directly aimed at him. I cranked my head up to see the circus freaks were on top of the pub, along with Buggy.

"Luffy, you help out the chie-"

"On it."

I narrowed my eyes at him for interrupting me as I continued, "And we'll take care of the goons."

Luffy then separated the floating hand from the chief's neck and said, "I've kept my promise. I've come to beat you!"

"So, you come without a single trace of fear by your own will! You morons!" Buggy shouted as his hand reconnected with his arm. "You're all so dead!"

Nami then spoke up and said, "Listen, I don't care whether you fight or not. You guys do as you wish! I'm just here for the map and the treasure."

"Yeah. We know," I said, annoyance slowly creeping up my voice.

The chief slowly stood up and angrily said, "All of you, what did you come back for? You three just stay out of this. This is my war! I'm the one who must protect this village. Don't interfere!"

Luffy then did the unexpected: he slammed the chief's face against the wall, successfully knocking him out cold. Every one, including Buggy, gasped in shock at Luffy's actions. I just smirked at him.

"You idiot!" That's my line, Nami. "What the hell was that for? Why did you do that to the chief?!"

"'Cause he would just get in the way," he replied. Buggy just had this dumbfounded look plastered on his face. What a humorous sight.

"He will just get hurt since his anger is blinding his actions and is not the right state of mind to be doing anything," I added.

"They're right. That was smart thinking. If you had left him alone, without a doubt, he would've charged recklessly. It's safer for him to be unconscious," Zorro said.
