Bring the buggy ball" Buggy ordered and his subordinates bring large cannons.

"Luffy let's avoid it" Nami was a little scared just by the cannon, so she escaped as she said.

"Luffy what now?" Zoro wasn't scared since he could avoid it but he still asked Luffy.

"Don't worry, I will never lose my bet but I hope you can handle them fast" Luffy made a little cold face when he said those words.

"Yes, Captain" Zoro pulls one sword by his left hand and rushes towards the other from the side.

"Fire" Buggy says

"Bong" "Poosh" "Putong" "Bong"

Cannonball in which clown face was drawn, was fired at Luffy. Luffy didn't avoid it instead sucked air into his belly.

"Rubber Balloon"

Cannonball bounced back at buggy, sensing the crisis in front of him. Buggy caught two of his subordinates to make the wall of their bodies. For extra safety, he runs back and let his hands handle those two subordinates body.

"Shave"

Luffy already knew the buggy intention, he moved at very fast speed appearing in front of the buggy and said "Being alone really made you cruel"

Luffy stretches his arms back, then slammed in on buggy body "Rubber Pistol"

"Straw Hat don't get too cocky" Buggy also fired up, he separates his feet and attack "Chop Chop Flashy Feet"

"Chop Chop Flashy Separate"

"Buggy I would like to play with you a little longer but my friend already finished up. So let's settle this" Luffy grins, his pistol didn't give buggy any damage and he was kind of an impatient one. So he decided to finish this up.

"Rubber Finger Net" Luffy stretches his fingers like a net. He uses it to catch buggy separated pieces into one place. He threw those pieces like a pile of meat. He jumped high in the air. Then he slammed both of his feet pointing at a single point.

"Rubber Spear Gun"

"Bang"

He not only injured the buggy but also break the creates a hole in the ground. He knew buggy was shanks friend even though they argue but they are still friends so he decided not to severally damage buggy. Otherwise, he might use a finger gun to settle this sooner.

"Captain you took long enough" Zoro had already kept all of his swords in his sheathes. After finishes swordsman in unicycle in one strike, he has been waiting for Luffy to end his fight.

"He is a friend of my friend so I can't finish this too quickly" Zoro understood Luffy's words, finishing too quickly means using a powerful attack can severally damage his enemy but Buggy wasn't much of an enemy to Luffy so Luffy can't use such attacks.

"So what now captain?" Zoro asked

"Let's wait for our navigator," Luffy said and they sat on the floor.

"Hu, hu" Suddenly an old man came running towards Luffy, seeing Luffy and Zoro he asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing we just beat up a clown," Luffy said as if it wasn't even any kind of achievement to him.

The old man look around saw many houses were destroyed and many people were injured. He then checks those people's identities. He was shocked when he saw Buggy lying on the ground with injuries. He rushed back towards Luffy and Zoro; he looked back at Luffy and Zoro with horror in his eyes but didn't show it.

He gave a slight bow and said "Thank you for saving our town"

"Don't mention it, we just did what other pirates will do while facing another group of pirates," Luffy said with no expression on his face.

"You are also a pirate?" The old man said with horror that no longer can be concealed.

"Yes" Luffy nodded, he could already see the horror in the old man's eyes.

"You, you, if you want to capture our town like buggy then I mayor of this town will fight against you" Old man was really a mayor as Luffy thought, it just that old man don't know anything Luffy so he really thought Luffy as an evil pirate and pounced towards Luffy with his stick.

"Pat" Luffy didn't dodge that attack, he holds the old man's stick with his left hand and pat the old man's shoulder with his right hand.

"Calm down, do you think we will stay in your village? The true pirate will never stop his Anker at one point and settled down. We will take Buggy treasure and leave" Luffy said after he knocked the old man down with his palm.

"Really?" The old man was a little hesitant, so he could only ask again to confirm.

"Yes, so just wait till our crew to bring the treasure of Buggy," Luffy said

"Okay," Old man said.

Just after five minutes, Nami came towards them running with two full bags of gold.

"Hey Zoro our navigator is back, let's go" Luffy saw Nami and shouted at Zoro cause Zoro was already asleep.

"Damn this sleeps too much" Luffy complained as he saw Zoro rubbing his eyes while waking up.

"Luffy I found ten million worth gold in Buggy treasure," Nami said while cheering herself and her eyes were full of baileys.

"Young Pirate I gather up everything you asked for" An old man came with bags of fruits and bread.

"Nami could you give me one bag" Luffy looked at Nami said.

"Yes" Although Nami was very reluctant half of the total treasure belongs to Luffy, so she still handed it over.

Luffy took that bag of treasure and give it to the old man saying "Old man mayor this is our compensation for destroying your town on the fight"

"You" For an old man this was much unexpected, he didn't expect pirate will give away his treasures to someone, without any connection between them. He also realizes what Luffy said was just an excuse to give back their town's treasure. After all, pirates can't just directly give all of their treasure to others.

"Luffy what are you doing?" Seeing Luffy giving away so much treasure of his own, Nami was fired up and angry, wanted to beat Luffy down but was stopped by Zoro's Sword.

Although he could see Nami beating up Luffy at other times, this time is different. Not mention Luffy is a captain and Nami hasn't even been their true crew. So this was the very reason why Zoro pointed the sword at Nami.

"Okay, Nami just calm down. The buggy was my mentor friend, although I can't stop him doing such actions I can at least give compensation for Buggy's work" Luffy said with a mischievous smile looking at scared Nami. He didn't want her to get overly cautious about this fact.

"Humph," Nami snorted and leave towards the boat, closely holding the bag by her hands.

"By the way Old man mayor, you should bind them with rope, on the boat, and let them sail," Luffy said and walk towards his ship.

On way, the Zoro asked "Luffy although we won't loot people we are still pirates. Why do we need to give those gold to them?"

"Hehe you are right, we are pirate but pirate doesn't mean to loot and rob others. Pirate means to be free and being King of the Pirates means being the freest man in this world. We just destroyed other's village, if we weren't able to fix that either by our own or by giving money, then we could run away. That is what pirates do but this time we have some money with us which we can pay. Although five million is not much for us but for them. It is a huge amount for them. They can not only build this village a better place but also pay for those dead ones. Being a Pirate king is not my dream, it is my promise to him. My dream is to end the era of pirates and create a world where even these villagers can leave in safe."

At this moment, Nami had already left far. So only Zoro and Luffy were talking, hearing Luffy his heart was shocked. He was speechless to think someone can have such thought. He seriously looked at Luffy.

Luffy also looked at Zoro and said "So Zoro would help me to create such world?"

Zoro looked at Luffy, thought of some time, and let helpless smile saying "Aye, Aye Captain"

"Haha, Haha let's create such a world" Luffy jumped up spreading both of his hands to cheer up. This wasn't true Luffy's dream but this was the dream of Ganesh. Living on earth for a long time, reading One Piece, he understands the pain of those common people.

Although, he is weak at the moment this weakness won't last forever. Someday he will rise up to the place of a top powerhouse, fight for hegemon and create such a world where everyone can be equal. This is his dream; this is Luffy and Ganesh's dream.

While they walked away, an old man standing at the same place had tears in his eyes. He didn't expect to meet such good people in his life. This world, where the strong can easily prey weakly. One young man gives away half of his treasure to a complete stranger.

"Mayor, mayor" While he had some tears in his eyes, some people from behind were running towards him.

"Mayor, what happened?"

"Mayor, did you negotiate with Buggy pirate? Will they leave our town?" Many people start questioning the old man.

Mayor cleaned tears from his eyes and said "Buggy pirates were defeated. Find them and bind them. Then throw them in their ship and do exactly as I said. Also, take this gold and re-build our town. I also wanted to build a big statue of someone in our town."

Everyone was shocked by the mayor words but when they heard about a big statue. They understood, someone must have helped their village but why do they need to build a statue, and why the mayor seems happy to create a statue of someone in our village.

"I will explain everything later, first do your work," Mayor said and left the crowd.
