''Orange Town Arc'' episode 8

The last episode of this Arc ,episode 8 starts with a flashback of Buggy's memory when he was a pirate apprentice with Shanks on the same ship. They used to fight over the silliest things like which is colder the North or South pole and get beaten up for it. As an enemy ship approaches they went to battle and the one Buggy has cut down turned out to have a treasure map hidden in his sleeves. Buggy rejoices for it was the first time he had ever seen an actual treasure map, and with that Buggy's life began to turn to his favor. Late at night as everyone was drinking and partying, Buggy was outside staring at the treasure map a voice came from behind saying: ''hey! Buggy aren't you gonna party with us, there's some interesting loot.'' it was Shanks as he sat beside him and they began to talk about their dreams and ambitions, Buggy asked what was the interesting loot Shanks was talking about earlier. It turned out to be a Devil's Fruit that gives it's eater a incredible ability in exchange for making him unable to swim for life.Well that was in Buggy's perspective a stupid thing isn't worth much for he won't be able to dig out treasures hidden at the bottom of the sea as his map showed if he can't swim. BUT it can also be sold for a 100 million berries, now there's no way Buggy would miss that.
He soon went and made a fake one and performed in front of everyone that he ate the Devil's Fruit. Now Buggy has a treasure map and a 100 million berries worth fruit, with that he began planning how to get off the ship and form his own crew of pirates . Again Shanks took him by surprise from behind saying: '' hey Buggy, what are you grinning about?''. And in the spur of the moment Buggy hid the Devil's Fruit in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it as he got up his map got carried out by the wind, to follow it he jumped behind it into the sea but unfortunately his body wouldn't move an inch so Shanks jumped behind him to save him from drowning. And so was the story of Buggy's grudge against Shanks, but what caught Luffy's attention was the last part of Shanks saving Buggy.
Well that's so him for for the entire series Luffy is one of the characters that rarely almost never changes it's attitude, he only hears what he wants to hear and deaf to the rest uninteresting fillers of the story for him.
But Buggy properly yelled saying: ''That's not the point I was trying to make!''. for because of Shanks his life plan got delayed by 10 whole years, and the fact that he can no longer obtain the treasures that are under the sea. So his decision was if the sea is no good then instead he'll get hold of all the treasures above ground, thus anyone who touches his dear treasures is fated to die.
Suddenly he rose up high and flashed forward toward Nami, while shouting: '' MY TREASURES!!! UNHAND THEM!''. Sadly he forgot his lower half beside Luffy, and ouch!! he got a painful kick to the balls, as he fell crying in pain.
Then Luffy advised Nami to let go of the treasure and hide so that she would not be followed again, but she utterly refused stating that the treasure now belongs to her since she's a thief that steals from pirates and she just got one robbed.
In that moment Buggy threw a tantrum and split each and every part of his body and flew toward Nami. All but his legs that stayed walking on the ground, as Luffy got hold of them he tickeled, pinched, and punded them . That must've seriously hurt, but as expected he's being artistic about his fighting ways.
But Buggy's focus was fully directed toward Nami as she kept running with the pack of treasure in her hands . Soon Luffy came dashed as he landed a sideway kick on Buggy's face and bursted the pack of money up. Even so Buggy is still persistently undefeated, so as he resembled his Bara Bara parts he became only a Buggy with a face, two feet, and two hands. What's happening?
''Are you searching for this ?'' a voice came from afar holding Buggy's other body parts down with a rope , it was Nami , well as Luffy said: '' as expected of a thief ''. And Gomu Gomu no Bazooka , Buggy was sent flying to the highest part of the sky.
Just as the fight ended Luffy went to wake Zoro up introducing the new navigator, the map, and the treasure ,the loot of this battle. Suddenly, the citizens of the town came all together as they were worried about their mayor getting late but they found him laying down unconscious, they all piled up while holding  off their murderous intent they asked Luffy and his friends to explain who are they and what happened . And to no one's surprise Luffy answered in a stupidly honest way: '' we're pirates ''
and they began chasing them they managed to outrun them to the port thanks to Shushu who stood guard in the alley holding down the citizens.

Luffy , Zoro ,and Nami now they are 3 nakama that set off to sea together. who's the next nakama, and what's the next exciting battle that awaites Luffy and his gang . Keep following us to the astonishing 3rd Arc of the East Blue Saga.
