Run! Run! Run! (One Piece\Zoro) Part 004: 'Situation At the Bar'

[Recap]: Nami explained about Buggy to Luffy then came up with an idea and took Luffy prisoner to Buggy, then asked to join his crew. Buggy told Shizu that since, she didn't get his map back, she'd have to do something else for him, but she refused. Luffy recognised her from the town before, while Zoro arrived at the town and asked to be taken to Buggy.

Right!
"Get the grand line map back and get one more crew!" Buggy yelled. "We are really having a good time here!"

`Says you,` Shizu thought and sighed as she sat on a table. "I'm waiting Buggy, what is it you wish me to do."

"Your farther would just kill me if I let you go without inviting you to my party-"

"He can kill you."

"Well," Buggy sighed. "Get me the head of a famous pirate! I could do with more treasure."

`He's stupider than he look's, he'll give me the boat to look for the pirate and that's when I'll take my escape,` Shizu mentaly chuckled.

"And! You always say you never go back on your word. But I wan-"

"Buggy, just drop it, or I will have your head."

"But.. you promised," Buggy squeaked.

"If you ask for one more thing, god damnit I will break it and take your head along with every other part of you which seperates, to the marine base 5 miles west of here!" Shizu yelled.

"Yes yes yes," Buggy snorted. "Let's drink and have fun! Be happy and prepare yourself for the next battle!"

"Yahoo!" his crew cheered.

"I know you can't resist sake Shizu," Buggy smirked as he put a glass down infront of her.

"What do you take me for, an alcoholic!?" Shizu yelled.

"Nope," Buggy grinned. "Your farther's daughter."

`It has been a while since... oh... what the heck the least I could do is play along with Buggy's party, after all I am going to steal his boat`. Shizu sighed and took the glass of sake before downing it and slamming it back down. "Anyone for seconds?" she laughed as the crew cheered.

"Nami aren't you drinking!?" Buggy yelled.

"Yes! Let's drink, sir!" she yelled.

"Lets finish the whole mug!"

"Ok!" Nami replied as she finished the whole cup of sake first. "I win!" `He he. I am a very strong drinker if I can get all of them drunk that will make my job much easier, pirates are really easy to be tricked.`

"Grr!" Luffy growled as he bit the bars of the cage. "They are having a good time. That's suppose to be the way pirates are," he sighed as Nami crouched infront of him. "Eh?"

"How are you boss?"

"Shut up and let me out of this cage!" Luffy yelled. "I am hungry! Just bring me something to eat!"

Nami sighed and grabbed some meat from the table nearby and gave it to Luffy. "That's delicious! You are a good person. I will allow you to join me," Luffy said.

"I don't want to!" Nami yelled. "Have you realized your situation? Maybe these pirates will sell you to somewhere. And your forgetting they have a pirate hunter over there," Nami said looking over to Shizu.

"So, why is she hacing fun with them?"

"From what I can work out, she made some sort of a deal with Buggy, and he seems to know her farther," she sighed. "But if my plan works smoothly I will get the key and release you from this cage. I don't have anything then to do with you anyway."

"Then open it now," Luffy replied.

"Ha ha ha!" Buggy laughed, now standing behind Nami. "I really feel sorry for you to have a person like this in your crew!"

"What did you say? She is not in my crew," Luffy replied as Shizu listend in.

"I understand your feelings, because you have been betrayed so you say something like that."

"Say something! You know she isn't on my crew!" Luffy yelled to Shizu.

"Sorry Luffy, you have nothing I want, therefore I won't tell Buggy anything," she snickered.

"You know him Shizu? Your not hunting his head are you?" he laughed. "Anyway, the crime you committed is reall bad. I have prepared for your punishment."

"You will relase me right?" Luffy asked.

"Yes I will," Buggy said. "No!! Damnit why the hell should I release you??"

`Oi, I know what's going to happen now,` Shizu thought as she sighed and finished her cup of sake, she had lost count by now, yet she could still stand, think and see straight.

"Everyone prepare the Buggy's special canon ball!"

"Yes sir!!"

"We have finished loading the ball sir!"

"See the destructive power of it!" Buggy said as the canon went off, toppling many houses in it's wake. `He can't be serious? He's going to fire that thing at Luffy? Now, I will get involved if I have to. I don't want Luffy to get hurt, even if it's one less pirate, I wan't to kill him myself, and besides... it'll make a nice exit,` Shizu thought as she stood up.

"That's super!! It can destroy a small town in just one shot! I will use this canon ball along with my ability from the devil fruit to conquer the grand line!" Buggy laughed. "Blow him up Nami! To show your loyalty to me you have to use this Buggy's spepcial canon call to blow up your ex-boss. And then you must swear that you will conquer the whole world with me! Let's finish your ex-boss."

`Buggy is starting to get out of hand, I may not like Luffy, heck I may not even know him, but Buggy is a pirate and I won't let him kill anyone, that is after all my job.`

"K.. kill him? Me?" Nami asked. "Err.. captain Buggy.. I don't. Oh! Why don't we have a drink together? Just leave that guy alone!"

`Seem's like she isn't really a bad person at all.` "Finish him!"

"Wha..?" Nami asked.

"Let's blow him up! Shoot him! Shoot him!" the crew cheered.

"Err," Nami said not moving as the crew continued to cheer shoot over and over. `This is bad I've never thought it would ended up like this, if I don't do it I will get killed. Evethough he is a pirate, I just can't kill a person. If I did that, I will be, no, different from a pirate.`

"Nami!!! Don't stop the fun!" Buggy yelled.

"Your hands are shaking," Luffy said. "If you are not brave enough, you shouldn't have joined the pirates."

"Killing is not about being brave," Nami started. "Do pirates have to be brave in that way?"

"No!" Luffy yelled as Shizu watched with interest.

"Don't waste time!" the crew yelled as one approached Nami.

"I mean, you have to be brave enough to risk your life," Luffy finished. `Risk your life? Pirates throw it away, just becoming one is asking to die, I risk my life everytime I fight one, that doesn't make me a pirate.. pirates throw their lives away.`

"What are you waiting for?" one of them yelled as they took the match box from Nami. "Here let me! Don't you know how to do it?" he asked. Nami reached down to her staff, but Shizu was already on the move. "Just burn this fuse with a fire and.." he said moving the lit match near to the fuse, but Shizu kicked him in his side knocking the match from his hand, and him onto the floor.

"What?" Nami asked.

"Hey!!?" the crew yelled as Luffy looked at her shocked. `She... but I thought.. I'm confused.`

"Shizu! You tra-"

"I wasn't a traitor Buggy, I only promised I wouldn't kill you. But I changed my mind, I may not like pirates, which is why I kill them, but I won't let another one kill another pirate, if that's what you can call him."

"That's all I can expect of you," Buggy snorted. "But you Nami! What does this mean?" he yelled seeing Nami had her staff out. "You are the one that wanted to be on my side didn't you?"

"You're just thinking of helping me now?" Luffy asked.

"Stop saying foolish things!" Nami yelled.

"I was going to do it because of my own feelings! No matter what, I just don't want to become a cruel pirate!" Nami yelled. "I don't want to join people I hate the most! Pirates had killed the most important person in my life!!" Nami yelled.

"Oh! I see that's why you hate pirates so much," Luffy said. "Ahh! The canon fuse is burning!" he yelled. "I am mso unlucky now! I will die for sure!!"

"No more fun time lady! Let's finish them!!" Buggy yelled.

"Die!" Buggy's crew yelled charing at Nami.

"The fire..."

"Nami was it? Look you put that fire out I'll stop these guys," Shizu said grabbing Nami's staff.

"But-"

"But what!? Just do it!" Shizu yelled as she knocked Buggy's crew back.

"I don't want to die in a place like this!" Luffy yelled as Nami ran over to the fuse and grabbed it with her hand. "You..!?"

"Watch your back!" Shizu yelled as she knocked back a few more of the pirates.

The pirates heading towards Nami were stopped by Zoro however. "Many men want to fight one woman. That's so unfair!"

"Eh?" Nami asked looking over her shoulder.

"Zoro!!" Luffy yelled.

"Zoro!?" some of the crew gapsed as Shizu hit the remaining pirates back.

"Are you hurt?" Zoro asked looking at Nami.

"No."

"That's great that you got here at the right time. Get me out of this cage, quick!"

"What are you playing Luffy? You just been carried by a bird and now you are in the cage, are you crazy!?" Zoro yelled to Luffy as Shizu dropped Nami's staff beside her.

"Did he call that guy Zoro!?" some of thr crew yelled. "Is he Zoro the pirate hunter? Why does he know that thief? Is he teaming up with Shizu or something?"

"Your friend, is Zoro the pirate hunter? I don't get it," Nami said.

"Why's a pirate hunter like you here?" Zoro asked Shizu.

"I needed infomation from Buggy," Shizu smirked.

"So, you helped save Luffy because... why?"

"Since you are a pirate Zoro, I'd be careful just what you say to me, you just might be on my hit list next," she sneered as she stood beside him, facing Buggy.

"That's it Shizu kill him!" Buggy yelled.

"And you Buggy, the deals off, I don't care about the boat atleast I have the infomation I need from you, your so stupid."

"Why you double crossing b.itch!!!" Buggy yelled as Shizu smirked. "You are really Zoro huh?" Buggy asked turning his attention over to him. "Do you want my head this time?"

"No, I don't care about your head. I have quit beig a pirate hunter, I'll leave you to Shizukesa," Zoro replied.

"But I do care! If I can kill you I will become more famous!"

"Don't even think about that or you'll get killed," Zoro smirked as Shizu crossed her arms and went over by Nami.

"Are you ok?"

"Why.. do you care?"

"Because your not a pirate."

"Let's finish him captain! Cut that Zoro to pieces!" the crew yelled as Zoro got in his stance.

"If you don't get with the program you'll get hurt!" Buggy yelled charging at Zoro.

"If you want some, I'll give it to you!!" Zoro yelled as he chopped Zoro into lot's of pieces.

"Huh? Why is he so weak?" Luffy asked.

"This must be a joke!" Nami gasped as Buggy's crew started laughing.

Shizu chuckled slightly to. "Well, this wil get interesting to say the least." `Especially if Buggy is using his devil fruit.`
