Almighty Buggy-Sama Returns

Luffy reached into his coat and took out a small bag of money, placing it on the counter before he could speak.

"Thanks for the drink," he said before getting up and walking towards the back of the shop. Observation: Haki had warned him that someone was coming towards them.

So, he decided to leave before causing the old man any trouble. The old man was confused when he saw Luffy leaving through the back door, wondering why he didn't use the front entrance.

As he was about to ask the young man why, he heard someone enter through the front door. When the old man looked, he saw it was Captain Smoker.

He immediately took the money that Luffy left behind and put it in his pocket before he gave Smoker an annoyed expression.

Luffy came out of the bar and started walking towards Main Street with only one thing on his mind.

"Time to stir up trouble," he thought with a grin. As he walked out of one alley and started walking down the main street, he could hear people muttering behind him after they saw the jolly roger in his coat.

Luffy ignored everything and fixed his gaze on the execution platform in the town square. While walking towards the plaza, he could feel he was being followed by Marines hiding in the shadows of the town, while a few of them were running around trying to find Smoker.

Luffy hoped his crew would finish what they were doing because it was time for them to get off this island. When he saw the platform, he turned his body into lightning and teleported himself to the top of the platform, where he stared at the square.

"So this is what the Pirate King saw before he died," said Luffy to himself as he looked around. He could see a crowd gathered at the bottom of the platform, and they were all looking at him in confusion.

Luffy could also sense the Marines surrounding the square, none of them really strong, and told Luffy that Smoker wasn't here yet.

"GET OUT OF THERE IMMEDIATELY!" shouted a man in a marine uniform holding a megaphone.

"Why?" Luffy asked innocently.

"You are standing on the world government's execution platform." "Get off there now!" shouted the man. Luffy shrugged before speaking again.

"I'm not a big fan of the World Government, so I'll be sticking around," he said to a few people's surprise. The man was about to shout something at Luffy, but before he could, he was hit on the head by a giant metal rod held by a woman that Luffy didn't recognize.

"Long time, no see, Luffy-kun," the woman said, causing Luffy to raise his eyebrows in confusion. "I've been looking for you for a long time," he said, swinging his staff over his shoulder.

"And who are you?" he asked.

"How rude," said the woman with a sly smile on her face. "You mean you forgot my face?" she asked in a sweet voice that caused all the men around her to lose their minds.

"Sorry, you don't have that pretty face, so I have to remember," Luffy replied before smiling when he saw the woman's smile disappear and be replaced with an angry expression.

"How dare you!" the woman shouted before turning to the people in the square and asking them a question. "Listen up everyone, who is the most beautiful woman in East Blue?" she asked, causing everyone's eyes to turn into hearts before they all answered in unison.

"Of course you are!" they all said. At that moment, marines arrived and tried to arrest the woman, but just as they were getting close to her, the fountain in the square exploded, sending debris from the fountain flying around and causing mass panic.

"Good, who is the idiot bothering me now?" Luffy asked himself.

When he looked down, he saw a group of people wearing hooded coats walking forward and starting to speak to the woman.

"Sorry about that, Alvida," said the hooded figure leading the group. Then Luffy's eyes widen, that woman is Alvida.

"Are you Alvida?" Luffy asked, causing him to laugh.

"That's right," she said in a songlike tone.

"What happened to you?" Luffy asked curiously.

"I ate smooth, smooth fruit," she said, causing Luffy to raise his eyebrows. "Now no attacks can hit my body; they slipped when they hit my smooth skin," she said proudly.

"And as you can see, because I ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, I lost my freckles too," she said as she groped his face.

"I guess you're missing more than just freckles," thought Luffy to himself. Suddenly, Luffy's Haki observes, feeling a threat coming from above.

Luffy took a step back, causing his assailant to fall in front of him with the handcuffs, which Luffy guessed were made of sea stone. Luffy narrowed his eyes and looked at his assailant; the man looked familiar, but Luffy couldn't remember where he had met him before.

The man was surprised when Luffy dodged, but he still smiled.

"Hey, lightning freak," the man said, causing Luffy's eyes to turn cold. "How's Roronoa?" he asked arrogantly.

"He's way better than you in seconds," said Luffy in an emotionless tone that confused the man.

"Hah?" That was all the man could ask before he received a lightning-speed kick to his face (354,000,000 km/h, according to Google) that sent him flying out of the plaza.

Luffy looked down at the group of people in the robes earlier and saw that they were no longer wearing their robes. Now Luffy could see under the cloak the Buggy Pirates, and the one who had just been kicked was Cabaji.

Luffy chuckled and decided to play around with Buggy for a while before he started having fun.

"Oh, I know you," said Luffy, pointing at Buggy. "What's your name again?" Luffy asked while taking a thinking pose while summoning the clouds around.

"You don't remember my name!" Buggy shouted angrily.

"Give me a minute, I'll remember," said Luffy, waving his hand at Buggy, upsetting him even more. "Ducky? No, not that. Juggy? No, not really. Ugly? Buggy?! "There he is!" Luffy shouted, causing Buggy to smile proudly at the fact that Luffy remembered his name.

"You are Ugly Buggy!" Luffy said, pointing at Buggy, causing him to drop his smile and stare at Luffy with anger all over his face.

His entire crew turned pale when they heard what Luffy said to their captain.

"You flashy jerk!" Buggy shouted, causing Luffy to smile in satisfaction. Some of the people around almost laughed because Luffy nicknamed Buggy, causing Buggy's pirate crew to start taking out their guns and aiming at the civilians.

Luffy could sense that Smoker had arrived and was watching from afar.

"So they wanted me and Buggy to fight each other before they came and caught us when we were all tired and overwhelmed." "Nice plan, Smokey, but you have to be better than that," thought Luffy while ignoring Buggy's angry scolding.

"You will pay for these straw hats!" Buggy screamed at the top of his lungs, bringing Luffy out of his thoughts.

"You will pay for getting me arrested along with the rest of the crew, and ever since we escaped, I have been obsessed with getting revenge on you!" Buggy said, causing Luffy to remember something.

"Oh yes!" Luffy said, stopping Buggy from continuing. "I forgot I brought you and Alvida to the marine base," he said, causing Buggy and the rest of his crew to be a bit disappointed.

"He doesn't even remember driving us to jail," they said as they started to sulk. The citizens of Logue Town were watching the interaction between the Buggy Pirates and the man standing on the execution platform with confused expressions on their faces.
