Lougetown part 5
*At a market place, the rest of the crew is shopping.*
Sanji: Wow! That’s a weird looking fish. What is it?
Fisherman: It’s an Elephant Bluefin Tuna. Never seen one of them in these waters. It must’ve swam from the southern sea. I caught it myself this morning. Want me to cut it up?
Sanji: No. I’ll take it whole.
Fisherman: You sure are a big spender.
*He begins wrapping the fish. Just then, Morbius runs into him.*
Sanji: Morbius? What are you doing? Looks like you’re in a hurry.
Morbius: Oh, it’s nothing. Anyway, I think we should leave this island soon. It’s got tons of marines on it and I think one of them recogn- Jesus Christ, that’s a big fish!
Sanji: Yup. Gonna cook it for the whole crew. Of course I’ll need help carrying it back to the ship.
Morbius: Hey, look, it's Usopp.
Sanji: What’s he doing at a market?
*Usopp walks to one of the stands.*
Usopp: Wow! These eggs are cheap!
Sanji: What are you, a housewife?
Usopp: Oh, hey guys. Check it out, I got a whole bunch of cool stuff to use on our voyage. Including these goggles that will help me see a target from far away. What did you guys get?
Morbius: Equipment for my research, you know, big brain sciencey stuff.
Sanji: I just bought this Elephant Bluefin Tuna to cook.
Usopp: Woah, that fish is massive! How are you going to get that thing to the ship?
Sanji: With your guys’ help obviously.
*With Nami*
Nami: I’ll take all of these!
Cashier: All of those clothes? I hope you have enough money.
Nami: How rude. Of course I do.
*Nami pays for her new clothes and exits the store.*
Nami: This should be enough.
Sanji: Hello, Nami dear!
*Nami sees Sanji, Usopp and Morbius carrying the fish down the street.*
Sanji: I’m glad we caught up with you!
Nami: Oh, hey guys. Boy, that’s one massive fish you’ve got there.
Morbius: Sure is. This sucker is heavy.
Usopp: Oh, you have it easy! How did I get stuck carrying the heavy end of this thing?
Morbius: ANYWAYS, I think we should find Luffy and Zoro and leave. It’s only a matter of time till the navy tries to arrest us.
Usopp: Then we should keep walking. This fish is killing my back.
*But Nami notices something odd with the weather.*
Morbius: What is it, Nami?
Nami: It’s… the air.
Usopp: The air?
Nami: It’s gonna rain.
Usopp: But it’s so nice outside today.
Morbius: I don't see any clouds
Nami: I’m sure of it. Let’s hurry.
*Meanwhile, in the town square, Luffy has climbed on top of the execution platform. Everyone in there stares at him.*
Luffy: That old man said this is the place where it all happened. 22 years ago, the king of the pirates was executed here.
Police 1: Hey, you! Up there! Get down from there immediately!
Luffy: But why?
Police 1: You are standing on an execution platform that belongs to the world government! Now get down from there right now!
Luffy: Fine! I’ll come down but first you gotta say the magic word. And smile too.
Police 1: I’m not playing! I’ll arrest you if you don’t come down!
*But he’s hit over the head with an iron mace by a woman.*
???: Now’s not the time for such trifles. Long time no see, Luffy. I’ve been looking for you.
Luffy: Huh?
???: Well, that’s just rude. Do you mean to tell me you, of all people, have forgotten my face?
Citizen 1: Wow, she’s absolutely gorgeous!
Citizen 2: I’ve never seen such pure beauty!
Citizen 3: Her skin looks so deliciously soft!
Luffy: Forgot? I’m pretty sure we haven’t ever met. Who are you?
???: I’ll never forget you. You were the first man who ever truly struck me.
Luffy: What? I never hit you!
???: When you struck me with your passionate fist… It felt good. Now listen up, boys. What would you say is the most beautiful sight in the entire esteem sea?
Crowd: That would be you!
???: That’s right. I am quite breathtaking, aren’t I? There isn’t a man alive who wouldn’t crumble before my beauty. But I prefer strong men. Like you. I’m going to make you all mine, Luffy. Just wait.
Luffy: Aw, gross! No way! Just who the heck are you?!
???: You still haven’t figured it out?!
*Some more police officers arrive to deescalate the situation.*
Police 2: This is the police! Put your weapon down and come quietly! I’m placing you under arrest for assaulting a police officer! As for you up there! Get off that platform!
???: Hold on. Who did you say you were arresting?
Police 2: We’re arresting you!
???: Are you really going to arrest me?
*The police are completely smitten by her.*
Police 3: We’ve got a big problem here, sir. She’s too beautiful!
Police 2: I really don’t give a damn! Arrest her!
Police 4: Do we really have to?
*Suddenly, the fountain in the town square is blown up. Pieces of it fly towards the woman.*
Citizen 4: Watch out, miss!
*But they simply slip past her body.*
Luffy: Wow, that was weird.
*A person wearing a hood approaches her.*
???: Gyahahaha.
???: That little stunt was dangerous, you know?
???: I’m flashily sorry. But your smooth skin is unharmed, of course, so there’s no need for trouble, fairest Alvida.
Luffy: Alvida? I don’t see Alvida.
Alvida: Don’t be so dense, you nimwit! I’m Alvida!
Luffy: Are you sure? Cause I don’t think you’re her.
Alvida: I guess I really did change after eating the Smooth Smooth Fruit. No attack can hurt my skin because it slides right off. Unfortunately, a lowly devil fruit can’t improve upon my already stunning good looks. One big change you may have noticed was that I lost my freckles.
Luffy: Sure, that must be it.
Alvida: After becoming a whole new person, I decided to join forces with someone who shared my goal of finding you.
*The hooded person reveals himself to be Buggy.*
Buggy: Gyahahahaha! Now that I’ve flashily made my entrance, behold the real star of this show! Monkey D. Luffy! Ever since the day you sent me flying, I’ve been obsessed with 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. I call this tale: “Tiny Buggy’s Great Adventure”! The first thing that happened was- Why the hell am I telling you a story?!
Luffy: Don’t know. Now… what was your name again? Boggy? Boggie? Behie? Baggy? Ah, I know! It’s Buffoon!
Buggy:… Buffoon?! You got a lot of never you rubber bastard! And now Buggy the clown is gonna make you pay for that!
Crowd: It’s the Buggy Pirates!
Buggy: You people flashily stay where you are! I want every single one of you to see exactly how scary I can be.
*Buggy’s men point guns at the crowd.*
Luffy: Oh, yeah! Buggy, right?
Buggy: You mean you just now remembered it?!
*Luffy is suddenly restrained in wooden stocks by Cabaji.*
Luffy: Hey, what gives?!
Cabaji: Long time no see, you rubber freak. How’s your pal Roronoa Zoro?
Buggy: Got 'em. Good job, Cabaji. Gyahahahaha! To all of my followers, hundreds of billions of them around the world, we will now super flashily begin the public execution! The old fashioned way! You’re trapped, Monkey D. Luffy! You can’t move so much as an inch! Tell me, Straw hat, feel honored? You’ll die in the same place as the king of the pirates! Gyahahahahahaha!
*Stork clouds begin to roll in, Nami looks at one of her instruments.*
Nami: The barometric pressure is falling fast.
Morbius: Is that normal?
Nami: Not exactly. I’ve never seen such a sharp drop before.
Sanji: You know, I thought I felt something strange.
Nami: There’s a storm heading straight for the island.
Usopp: A storm?
Nami: Yeah, we’d better hurry back to the ship or we’ll be in trouble.
Usopp: Is it gonna be big?
Zoro: Hey!
Nami: Zoro!
Morbius: Where have you been?
Zoro: Shopping for some swords. Have you guys seen him?
Usopp: You mean Luffy?
Zoro: Yeah. I’ve been trying to find him. And I keep getting this feeling.
Morbius: What does that mean?
Zoro: It's not good. It usually means that something bad’s gonna happen.
Citizen 5: Pirates are here!
Citizen 6: It’s Buggy the clown!
Nami: What’d they say?
Zoro: I think they said Buggy.
Morbius: Buggy? I thought Luffy took care of him, how could he possibly be here?
*At the navy base*
Smoker: And then what?
Marine: Well, sir, it isn’t just Straw hat Luffy, it’s also Buggy the clown and Iron club Alvida. They’re all here! Wanted pirates from the eastern sea have taken over our town square!
Smoker: They do this right in front of me? Why those arrogant scumbags.
Marine: Captain Smoker, sir, what are your orders?
Smoker: Send unit number one out to the sea, and have unit number two surround the pirates from the streets. The rest will stand by within shooting range of the square. See that it’s done.
Marine: Sir!
Smoker: And give this order to unit one. They are to crush any pirate ships as soon as they see them. I don’t want a single one of those wretched pirates to get off this island. Not a single one.
