Journey to One Piece

Nami felt suffocated when Zoro gave her the scary eyes. She felt aggrieved as she always got her way around with men. She was able to bank on that fact and use her pretty face and take advantage. But here came a man who didn't have any such consideration. Luffy and Ken looked at it and laughed. Especially Ken, he knew the story of Nami firsthand.

He remembered when Nami first asked Luffy to 'collaborate' he refused right on her face. This time it was Zoro who was on the other side.

"Luffy that looks like the chart we were searching for." Ken didn't forget the main purpose of coming to this island.

"Eh!! You have the chart. Can you give it to us. We need it to go to the Grand Line." Luffy asked with a huge smile expecting the other person to be generous like he always does.

"Who is giving you the chart. I stole it after much hard work. But if this swordsman here can come with me I might think of it." Nami said as she clearly felt that these people might be fooled and thus she could score easily.

Once she could go out with Zoro, she was pretty sure her navigation skills would be enough to leave these idiots behind. Zoro meanwhile laughed.

"You are fooling yourself. I have already joined this crew and this guy is the Captain."

Nami was taken aback. This guy who had a strawhat, wore a loose red shirt and pants with weird boots on his legs. His figure was so thin that he seemed like he would be blown away by air. And this powerful swordsman was saying that he was the Captain.

Is the world wrong? Or was she hallucinating?

She thought for a second and finally said while gritting her teeth

"We can collaborate. I am a great navigator and I can read the maps very well."

"Really? A navigator? Yohooo...."

Luffy looked very happy as he had been searching for a navigator and one finally was ready to join.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy. I am the person who will be the Pirate King."

"I am Ken..."

"I am Zoro.."

"Pirate King? Pirates? You are pirates?" Nami was horrified. She thought that these men were just normal people but never expected that these 3 men were Pirates. Fear took over her hatred as she had seen the power of Zoro.

"You are Roronoa Zoro. Aren't you a Pirate Hunter? How come you joined the Pirates?" Nami finally remembered a piece of news. Zoro wasn't affected by this question and said

"I never declared myself a pirate hunter. It's the people who decided. All in all, I have joined this crew and I will stick by it."

"No.. This is ridiculous. I will not join you. I will not join the pirates. You are evil and just hurt people." Nami clenched her fist and hissed those words. She would never join pirates. Ken smiled at this, different settings, same old hatred. Luffy looked sad as the navigator who just accepted to join denied the next moment.

There was nothing to do about it.

"So can you give me the chart?" Luffy said as he had his sunny smile after a moment of disappointment.

"Nooo." Nami held the chart tightly and was almost ready to run if these three came after her. She was running before anyways. Ken didn't care and said to Luffy

"Luffy, Buggy might have other charts and he might be generous. We can ask from him." Ken said.

"Hmm that can be done. Let's go." Luffy said. The three started walking away without paying heed to Nami at all. She felt like she was ignored. She was sure that they needed the chart but why did they just ignore her? They seemed like that needed a navigator too but they still didn't care?

Are there pirates like this too?

Subconsciously she didn't leave as these three picked her curiosity. She had seen what they had done to Buggy Pirates and they still seemed like they would talk with Buggy? Are they crazy?

Soon with the help of Observation Haki the three were able to reach the Buggy Pirates temporary stay which was on a roof of a bug house. He had a circus like tent built over the roof where Buggy stayed.

And right now, Buggy was angry to the extreme. A bleeding pirate had just come and said that a swordsman had come and defeated all of them in a single move. He was one of the 'lucky' ones who was able to walk and come straight to Buggy.

He said about the girl who had stolen his chart and also that his crew had arrived. As the pirate was explaining, Luffy and others had already arrived.

"Captain.. Captain... These were the pirates who had defeat us. That swordsman... That swordsman...."

The pirate was shaking in his place pointing at Zoro. Buggy looked at Zoro closely and finally remembered where he had seen before.

"Roronoa Zoro. Have you come for my head? Is that why you defeated my crew?" Buggy gave a evil smile and asked.

"I am not in that business anymore. Our Captain here wants the chart to Grand Line. I had to take measure against your crew because they were going to attack us for a misunderstanding." Zoro replied.

"Captain? That strawhat reminds me of that guy. That hateful guy." Buggy red nose flared as he saw the strawhat and remembered about Shanks. One of the reasons of his predicament.

"Red-nosed guy. I just need a chart and we will be on our way." Luffy as usual quick at naming.

"Who did you call red-nose. I will kill you." Buggy was more angry hearing Luffy call him red nosed. Even his crew members looked horrified seeing someone having the audacity of calling Buggy as red nosed.

"If a red nosed isn't call as red nosed, than what shall we call? White nosed? You know Buggy, your Captain would have been really disappointed in you if he had seen you how you are terrorizing the village." It was Ken who had opened his mouth this time.
