Part seven - Buggy and Zorri 4/4

- A gang of brutal killers and robbers ... brutal killers and robbers ... - Johnny echoed Luffy's words.

- We kill and rob pirates, so why does it sound like we really are the bad guys in the whole East Blue? - With open resentment in his voice, asked Yosaku.

- And what do you mean imagine? - Zoro looked at Luffy in annoyance. - That's how it really is!

- It seems to me that I boarded the wrong ship, - clasping the bridge of her nose with her fingers, Nami covered her eyes. Such a gesture has already become a habit with the girl for quite some time. Often, she simply could not otherwise digest the idiocy that was happening around her.

- You can see the result of our actions in front of you, - Luffy finished, gesturing with his hands to the crowd of ships, as usual, completely ignoring everything his family said.

- It turns out that about ten thousand weaklings have gathered here now, five thousand of whom are also cowards? - Zoro asked. - I'm already starting to get bored.

- Boring, not boring, but we have to go back, - Luffy replied. - We will attack in five hours, so I need to prepare.

- After five hours, five hours later? - Johnny asked. - Will it be ... three in the morning? Do you want to attack them when they are all asleep?

- Yes, - Luffy nodded. - Let's start with the most outside ships, so that later, the awakened people, could not scatter throughout the East Blue. You and Yosaku will go through the center, I will take the right side and Zoro the left.

- And I? - Nami looked at him.

- And we will talk to you on the island ... grab the oars, swam back.

- So all the same, what's wrong with me? - Nami asked first when they were all gathering in Something's kitchen for a late supper.

- Nothing with you, - Luffy replied, biting off half of his far-away rather big sandwich, ham and sausage and a piece of fried meat. - You will stay here and sleep, read, or whatever you want to do there.

- …What? - The shocked girl asked, and the others looked at Luffy with obvious surprise. After all, they all somehow managed to get used to the "harsh love" of their captain. He always forced them to fight on their own, and never let anyone shirk.

- Nami, did you really think I would let you participate in something like that? - Luffy rolled his eyes. - You do not love death, and there will be nothing but death. Zoro is a natural maniac, I have spoken about this more than once, and I will say it more than once ... but look at him, he has already ceased to object!

- You'd think it makes at least any difference, - Zoro muttered displeasedly under his breath, listlessly picking at his plate with a fork.

- Ryu and Yosaku may not be maniacs like Zoro, but they don't care about death. They themselves initially chose a profession where they killed, but where they could be killed. And after a year with me and Zoro, death became a daily routine for them.

- That's right, that's right, - Johnny muttered under his breath, like Zoro.

- However, Nami, you are different from us all. You even chose a pole as your weapon, not a sword, dagger or pistol. The pole is not a murder weapon. The pole is primarily used for self-defense. And although it is quite possible to kill with it, which you have done yourself many times, people who use poles and staves as their main weapons have a very specific mindset. Such people, first of all, strive to protect. If the life of your sister and the village were at stake, then Zoro would have to work hard to get at least one of Craig's pirates. But to kill for the sake of some reputation? No, Nami, for the sake of such things, I myself will not allow you to kill anyone. Despite everything that happened to you, and, most likely, precisely because of what happened to you, your soul and mind are still pure. And I want them to stay that way as long as possible. But if I take you with me into battle today, you will forever lose the purity of both your mind and your soul. Senseless killing is not for women at all, and especially not for women like you. So when we sail away, go to sleep, and by the time you wake up, everything will be ended long ago. Later, by ten o'clock in the morning, I will definitely call you.

There was a long silence, but not painful, but some kind of pacified. Luffy's words left no one indifferent.

- Okay, had a snack, and now I need to dress up! - after a while, Luffy got up from the table. - Don't worry, I'm quick! - he went to the "Wooden Box". - I have already prepared everything, it remains only to put on, now check out my disguise. But I can immediately guarantee that no one will recognize me in it! - shouted the guy at last, hiding behind the door to the "Box".

- ... He'll do it again now, right? - Johnny asked, without addressing anyone in particular.

- You mean, completely destroy every part of the respect he just earned? - unnecessarily clarified Yosaku in a tired voice.

- I got a lump in my throat from his words, if only a little bit and I would just burst into tears, - Nami admitted. - He has never done this to me before, so ...

- So now he's going to do something really awful, - Zoro finished for her, wincing.

Nami, Johnny, and Yosaku looked sympathetically at the swordsman.

- Judging by his words, you'll get the most, - Johnny said.

- Maybe you'll try to hold back somehow this time, huh? - Yosaku asked hopefully. - We're talking about Luffy-aniki here, it's completely pointless to be angry with him.

- I'll try, - Zoro promised hesitantly. - After all, I have been with Luffy the longest, and he annoys me the most, so I have already managed to develop some stability, - the swordsman added, but his words sounded as if he, first of all, was trying to convince himself of their veracity. And he tried to convince himself exactly until the very moment when Luffy appeared from the "Wooden Box", only it was not Luffy, but "Zorri", so the green-haired guy initially had no chance to restrain himself.

This time, Luffy really surpassed himself.

As soon as Nami saw his "disguise", the girl literally shrank in size. With her legs tucked under her, she practically curled up in a ball in the very chair she was sitting on. Closing her eyes with one hand, Nami clasped her head with the other, trying to plug both ears at once, so as not to hear or see anything from what was inevitably to follow. Johnny and Yosaku froze. They just froze. And they turned white to such an extent that they could be confused with wax figures. Zoro, on the other hand, was the calmest of all. In one sitting, he finished the remaining sake in the bottle, after which he began to leisurely prepare for the battle, which, without any doubt, was to be the last in the life of either his captain or himself.

- Appreciate my disguise, people! - Luffy's joyous voice rang out. - How do you like it? BUT? BUT? Hey, why are you all silent? Like it or not? By the way, I tried! And check it out ... OniGiri (Demon Cutter) !!! I am the legendary Zorri "Three Plungers" and I am invincible!

The team wondered for several days why Luffy, in the last city, bought all sorts of frank bullshit, and what he did at night when he closed in the "Iron Box", but now everything fell into place. He made himself a wig out of green tinsel. From three dark green bags, he made himself an indescribably awful looking robe. Orange leggings, belted with a piece of some kind of wire, and green bogs on the legs, reaching down to the hips. There was a thick scar across Luffy's chest and stomach, like Zoro's, but drawn with a black marker. Instead of a face, the guy had a white cardboard sheet, on which, with the same black marker, a nasty grinning face was drawn, with an easily recognizable scar on his left eye. The guy held a white-painted plunger in his teeth, and he held two more black plungers in his hands. A small piece of cardboard dangled around Luffy's neck, which informed everyone that he was Zorri "Three Plungers". At the same time, it became clear why the guy, a couple of days ago, so unexpectedly needed elastic bands for panties: both the mask on the face and the plate on the neck were held on easily recognizable white stripes.

While Luffy was fooling around diligently imitating every attack he knew of Zoro, the swordsman finished his preparations. He untied a black bandana on his shoulder and tied it on his head, which he had never done before with Nami, Johnny and Yosaku. Then he tightened his belt tighter, took his hands out of the sleeves of his robe, completely exposing his torso, and then, stretching out one of his katanas, attached it to his belt on the other side, after which, spreading his legs wider, he grabbed the handles of the swords.

- SanPlungerOgi: SanzenSekai (Three Plunger Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds) !!! - Mua-ha-ha! Luffy laughed. - It's even cooler than I thought, I'm sure such a disguise is surely going to fool ...

- NitoryuIai: Rashomon (Two Sword Style Killing Art Instantly Drawn Sword: Gate of Eternal Life)! - there was a completely calm voice of Zoro, there was neither anger nor frustration in it ... but there was no peace or fatigue ... there was nothing in him. Zero emotion. The state between Life and Death.

The attack, performed by Zoro, capable of slicing in half a small island in one go, went through all of the "Thing", like a red-hot knife passes through melted butter. Having cut in half the mast, boards, beams, boats, the whole "Wooden Box", the water under the "Thing", and the bottom. The attack turned out to be so powerful that for several seconds the waters, at a distance of several hundred meters, simply parted to the sides, revealing a view of the chopped bottom and a whole bunch of different, halved, aquatic animals. Then the waters came back, the masts collapsed in different directions, and, cut in half, the "Wooden Box" began to sink slowly, gradually falling to the place of the cut.

Completely unscathed, but somewhat puzzled by this turn of events, Luffy, after watching the destruction wrought by Zoro, turned his gaze to the swordsman.

- And what are we going to sail now? - The puzzled guy asked Zoro. However, there was no sign of intelligence in the swordsman's gleaming crimson eye. - You don't appreciate good jokes - Luffy pouted, offended, but no one saw it because of the mask on his face.

Zoro responded as he was supposed to:

- Sanbyakurokuju Pound Ho (360 Pound Cannon)!

Everything that had not yet drowned, and had not been cut down by the first attack, was instantly destroyed. Except for Luffy. A moment later the guy was standing on the sandy shore, and after another, laughing enough, he disappeared into the coastal forest. Zoro immediately followed him. And only Johnny, Yosaku, and Nami, who remained on the remnants of the "Thing", began in a panic to save everything that they could still manage to save.

Hello humanity.

So, first week of this work is ending, so lets see what we have done

We have 38 chapters, really a lot if we consider the fact that it was my first time of translating. So it was hard, and it is becoming harder every day, because I notice more and more flaws and mistakes in machine translated, so my work is becoming more. More = hard.

So for the next week there will be some changes.

Till now, power stone number for additional chapters was constant for every day, and was equal somewhere about 12-15.

For this week it will be changed. Now, for more chapters the fanfic just need to be in good positions in ranking. Right now we are at 73 pos. in monthly ranking.

So to get more chapters next week just we need to have a good rank. It will work this way, if we are in

1) top 50 - 1 additional chapter each day, while we are in top 50

2) top 25 - 2 additional chapter each day, while we are in top 25

3) top 10 - 3 additional chapter each day, while we are in top 10

4) top 5 - 4 additional chapter each day, while we are in top 5

Also for each 10 persons, who vote for next fanfic (in chapter 0), you get 1 bonus chapter

I hope to be in top 25 for the next week, I don't think that there is a chance for higher position, but "never say never"

have a good day, after 4 hours there will be 2 more chapters
