Modus Operandi
Sunrise at Empty Bluffs, on the new Silent Donuts ship
Katakuri arrived on the ship. “Me and a few others searched the whole island. We really found nothing here. No treasure and no Poneglyphs.”
Jack replied, “this was a terrible venture.”
Ulti responded, “at least THEY had a fun party, Jack the Dragdown.”
“Sister!” Page One said in exclamation.
Mont D’or then said, “this is all okay Katakuri, this all means there’s still hope to spot Barbarossa at sea. Only so many people know about him anyway which would’ve included Buggy but he doesn’t want to be Pirate King.”
Amande said, “we can either start scouting for Barbarossa or just attack Blackbeard now. But we should learn the location of Teach from Morgans specifically.”
They started sailing for a bit. The Smoothie approached Katakuri, “brother, it seems they robbed us during the party. We have no supplies.”
“GYAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, we get to live another two days.”
“Those idiots brought so much on their ship,” Alvida said.
“Oh look at this desert,” Galdino mentioned. Mohji wrapped his mouth around the food and Galdino’s hand, “hey! That’s gross, get off me!”
Cabaji suggested, “you need to lift one weight Mohji, you’re getting to be rounder than Buggy’s nose.”
“WHAT!?” Buggy and Mohji shouted.
Daz Bones slammed the door open while Crocodile walked through dragging in Caesar, “hey idiots, we’re going on a venture. Nice to see you’re still scavenging through scraps like little rats.”
“Okay well have fun, we won’t wait up,” Alivda said.
“Don’t come in here like I wanna hear the stuff you say,” Buggy replied.
“Why do you guys have Caesar, I thought they left?” Galdino asked.
“Stop slamming doors open, this house has been ransacked enough,” Cabaji said.
“Well to be frank-” Crocodile begun to answer but Richie roared in interruption. Crocodile begun again, “well to be frank, this place does get boring after a while and you haven’t hired any of our mercs to any nations again so there is no income. I am going on a treasure hunt and will bring back enough berries that you’ll start doing what I say to even see a drop of it.”
They all look at him dumbfounded. Daz shrugged at Crocodile’s shrug. “Before this gets too much like a parody, I’ll leave. Goodbye.”
“Save me!” Caesar shouted. Daz politely closed the doors.
Croc, Caesar, and Daz arrived on the Germa ship, “alright let’s go,” Judge commanded.
Buggy laid back asking, “man who does he think he is….TREASURE HUNTING WITHOUT ME!?”
“Do we really care?” Alvida asked.
Perona floated through the wall, “oh captaaaaaain,”
“Horror girl, do you know where that traitor Crocodile is going?”
“Yeah, we got your ship ready for you! I overheard Crocodile threaten Judge to take him to that Beast Pirate Apoo. Apoo has a bunch of treasure right now.”
“Fuck, Apoo, that guy almost messed us up that one time but now there’s no Kaido. Everyone, let’s go, adventure awaits.”
“We’re going to be treasure hunting?” Galdino asked.
“Captain did you take a hit of the kush?” Alvida asked.
Perona grabbed Buggy, “but if we go then you totally have to rescue Moriah, okay?”
“Fine fine fine.” Buggy broke away to fly over to a snail.
The Big Top is still Buggy’s flagship which was manned by 50 crewmen. Brock and Leifsson among others stayed on the island to guard while Buggy and his officers came on board. Then they sailed according to Mihawk’s direction as he saw where the Germa pirates ventured to.
“Seriously Mohji, you’re hyperventilating and we were carried to the ship.”
Mohji raised a finger to answer but wheezed. Alvida covered her face, “if Strawhat could see us now.”
Cabaji answered her, “I’m not trying to imitate the Strawhats but we do need to be ready. Being an Emperor’s officer means making sure the Emperor is completely untouchable. We should be just as fearsome as we were in the East Blue.” Cabaji raised his sword and then covered it in haki, “basic pirates in the New World can do this. Mohji’s just a punching bag.”
“Oh haki haki haki, you just need a good devil fruit like me and you won’t even have to fight,” Alvida said fixing her hair.
“Don’t say that, any haki user could touch you.”
“Buggy’s going to carry us, I don’t need to train,” Mohji said.
“Richie,” Cabaji commanded and Richie swiped at Mohji sending him flying. Mohji was knocked out. “See I even trained your dumb lion to be able to beat you.” Cabaji was slashed by Richie. “I trained your talented lion to be able to beat you.”
Mohji had to use the railing to stand up and looked at the other clown pirates on the ship. They were running around making sure the sailing was going okay. Then he realized, “right, I’ve got to slim down and be strong so I can inspire these men.”
“Yeah, I mean you can’t even be in the circus,” Cabaji added.
“Okay, training now!” He started doing a bunch of push ups.
“I’ll train too,” Alvida said and then she just sat on Mohji’s back screaming, “faster, harder, don’t stop!” Mohji was sweating bullets already.
1 day and a half later, Mihawk sighted Finzione Island on the look at post. “Land ho,” he shouted at Buggy.
“Oh that island doesn’t look charming at all,” Perona said.
“But it’ll have lots of treasure, get out of my face, whoro!”
“The Germa ship just landed too,” Mihawk said. “There’s a town on the other side of the island, I can see.”
Finzione Island was one of many mushrooms of different colors, shapes and sizes. Daz commented, “this is charming, Miss Valentine would’ve loved jumping through here.”
“That’s I’m sure of. Her and that monkey Apoo, where is he Judge?”
“Right to business,” Daz muttered.
Judge replied, “I just got here, he didn’t say exactly where. You can stop holding Caesar hostage.”
“I think he likes it,” Crocodile increased his CoA grip on the doctor who moaned, “No I do not!”
“This island’s just creepy, look at the little worms with mushroom caps,” Niji pointed out. There was literally a little worm with a mushroom cap.
Reiju laid on one that quickly dissolved, “oh but their so soft- AH”
“Apapapapapa,” a number suddenly cut in-between the Germa party and their ship, “you let someone follow you, are you stupid?” Apoo asked sitting in the number’s hand.
“Who?” Judge then looked over to the ocean to suddenly see the Big Top crawl out of the horizon. “No way they could follow us at that distance! The seas are so turbulent.”
“They did but it’s not so bad. If they followed you for Queen, it’s no big,” Apoo answered. A sweat formed on Crocodile’s forehead. If Buggy stupidly followed then I might not be able to quietly search the island.
Another number came stomping in, “guess who, it’s………….QUEEN!”
“Ugh, what are these giants?” Judge asked nervously.
“Giants? Oh no, their oni. I used to have them in my homeland but these guys were apart of Kaido’s grew. Kaido’s an oni too. Size wise, I guess their in between giant and human,” Apoo answered.
“And you’re long armed, there’s all sorts of freaks outside of the comic book pages,” Yonji commented.
Ichiji pointed out, “Queen’s just fat.”
Queen jumped off the number and pointed at the Vinsmoke, “hey if I get thinner,” then he turned to Reiju, “then I could have gotten with you sister!”
“Queen, behave!” Judge demanded. “I’m letting you join Neo-MADS due to your expertise with genocidal weapons. I don’t need you inspecting my kids or the Germa Army.”
“Oh that’s okay, I’ve already done enough research. I even met your rebellious son Sanji. I got to test this on him, Blue Electric,” Queen the zapped into the air a few times before landing on the ground, “I got all of your abilities, including Stealth Black!”
Judge sighed. Niji asked, “so do you even have original technology? And Sanji beat you anyway since you’re here, so we’re still better than you.”
“Watch you’re tongue Niji!”
Mihawk said, “they have brought a few oni with them.”
“Holy shit, oni are totally crazy,” Buggy commented. “I don’t think we should land on this side, it’ll be a difficult embarkment.”
“It’s okay captain, I’m raring to go,” a completely muscularly sculpted Mohji said.
“What the hell happened to you!?”
“You’ll still last 20 seconds buddy,” Alvida commented tapping his back.
Buggy commanded the sleeping Mihawk, “hey you, cut that island so we can scare them!”
“I’m going to do no such thing.”
Some fodder crewmates gasped, “Mihawk is disobeying the captain!”
“What do you mean? Why did you even come if you’re just gonna sleep?”
“I led you here, do this part on you’re own. You’re useless even as an asshat but you need to get this money before another mutiny spawns as I would not help you there. So no, I’m not your gun.”
The crew gasped. Buggy huffed and said, “so you’re so much of a weakling lowlife swordsman, you can’t even send a flying slash! I should’ve just recruited Roronoa back at the East.”
“Ooooooooooo,” the crew cooed.
“He really is fodder,” Perona said.
Mihawk cut through Buggy and stepped to the edge. “you’re so annoying,” he responded. He raised his sword, “Hell’s Arrival!” and he waved it once cutting apart several of the mushrooms and hills and sending the Numbers to their knees.
“Let’s gooooo! The Emperor can command anyone,” the crew cheered.
“Gyahahahaha, full speed ahead,” Buggy commanded.
“Holy shit, Doki! Who was that? Who’s on that ship, Judge? And speaking of that, who’s this guy standing on the pile of sand?” Apoo asked pointing at Daz Bones who just had his arms up in a shrug.
“This was a set up! You’re in cahoots with someone,” Queen accused.
“Pft, they stole my water! Trust me! Where did Caesar go?”
Over the speaker, Buggy spoke, “hello, if you can hear this, this is the Pirate Emperor Buggy speaking. If you’d like to keep your life Apoo, you’d give up your treasure.”
On his own mushroom top, Morgans exclaimed, “Big News, Wapol! Buggy’s come to wreck the show!”
Apoo exclaimed, “He knows I’m here, what the hell Judge?”
“In this situation,” Daz started, “when you two have been singled out and are already out of luck, it’s best to shove your heads in the sand. That, or the sand will sink you!” Daz quickly dashed at Apoo, slashing him across his chest. Queen grew into his dino form but sand grew over him and slashed at him.
“You scallywags!” Queen lasered through the sand and hit the Germa ship,
“You big idiot, that’s our ride!”
Croc descended and hooked Queen’s back. Apoo covered his fists and punched at Daz who covered his face with haki. “Bell!” Apoo punched Daz causing him to ding dong like a bell and vibrate in place. The Big Top arrived and then Buggy flew through the air, “Muggy Express,” he carpet bombed the group with grenades from his hands. Alvida, Perona, Cabaji, and Mohji rode on Richie shouting their battle cries.
“Snakesorus,” Queen ejected from his body and then flung around in the air while covered in haki. He hit Croc to the ground. His main body was then cut in half. Queen screamed in shock. He looked back at the ship to see Mihawk’s visage. “AHHHHHH, its big trouble.”
“What do you mean? KABOOM!” Apoo exploded Richie and his riders. Then Buggy dived in behind backstabbing Apoo. Apoo yelled in shock and too saw Mihawk.
Queen’s snake form landed on the ground, “Judge what is the meaning of this?”
“I’m just at the mercy of these pirates.”
Buggy hovered over Apoo on the ground, “You wanna why we want you’re booty? We’re pirates, treasure hunting is our modus operandi!”
