From Mafioso to Pirate (Katekyo Hitman Reborn x One Piece)

Buggy the Clown

By the time Lambo and Zoro finally managed to find Luffy, they were greeted with a rather unexpected sight.

Luffy was tied up and in a metal cage, a cannon pointing straight at it. A lit cannon.

'Dammit, Luffy, how'd you even get yourself into this mess?' Lambo thought to himself incredulously as he and Zoro got ready to rush over to him. Before they could even get close to him, however, one of the people there, a girl, hurried over to the cannon and wrapped her hands around the flame, putting it out and burning her skin in the process.

The girl shrieked in pain but didn't remove her hands until the fire was completely out. Once that was over, she slumped a bit, not noticing a dozen pirates all rushing for her from behind, swords poised to cut her apart.

"Hey, look out!" Lambo called out to her, causing her to look at him in surprise before turning to see the pirates.

Seeing that there was no way she could get away from them in time, she squeezed her eyes shut and put her arms up in defense, preparing herself for the pain.

'Crap!' Lambo thought, running forward as the familiar green glow of his Dying Will Flames began to crackle around him.

But it seemed like he wouldn't have to do anything.

"Oi, oi," Zoro muttered, swords outstretched and blocking the pirates from reaching the girl behind him. "Ganging up on a girl isn't very nice."

Lambo sighed in relief before changing direction towards the cage, where Luffy was grinning like an idiot. "Zoro! Lambo! You made it!"

"Yeah, we made it," Lambo grumbled as he took a look at the lock. "Why are you in a cage, anyway?"

"That weird clown and his crew put me in here," Luffy supplied before pouting. "I'm hungry..."

"Luffy, now really isn't the time," Lambo said, letting go of the lock as Zoro made his way over to them. He then turned to the girl, who was looking at Zoro in shock. "Who's that girl?"

"Oh, that's Nami. She's our new navigator," Luffy replied cheerfully, earning a glare from the girl.

"Hey, I didn't agree to anything!"

'This doesn't surprise me at all,' Lambo thought to himself flatly.

"Hey, Luffy," Zoro said in an irritated tone. "First you get caught by a bird and now we find you in a cage? Is this your idea of fun or something?"

"H-Hey, wait, did they just call that guy 'Zoro'?" One of the pirates asked fearfully.

"As in Pirate Hunter Zoro?!"

"Why the hell is he with these thieves?!"

"Th-The crewmate you mentioned earlier was Pirate Hunter Zoro?!" Nami asked Luffy with wide eyes.

Luffy grinned. "Yeah! And this is Lambo, my other crewmate."

"Lambo?" The girl asked, looking Lambo up and down scrutinizingly. "I've never heard of you before."

"Well, I'm not exactly someone famous like Zoro."

"So, you're Pirate Hunter Zoro?"

Lambo, as well as Luffy and Nami, turned in the direction of the new voice. His eyes widened when he caught sight of the man. 'Those guys weren't kidding, he really is a clown.'

In front of them was a man with blue hair, make up covering his face, and a large, red and round fake(?) nose. He wore a short-sleeved shirt with white and red stripes, white gloves, baggy pants, striped socks, pointy shoes, a green scarf around his neck, and a fur lined orange coat hanging around his shoulders like a sort of cape. On his head was an orange pirate hat with a jolly roger on it: a skull with the same red nose as the man wearing it.
