Straw Hat and animals: Luffy racing against a cheetah.

Quick Summary
Zoro is treacherously injured by Buggy. They take advantage of the mess generated by a Buggy ball to escape but Luffy is still in his cage.

Long Summary
Zoro stands seemingly victorious after slicing up Buggy. However, as he goes to set about freeing Luffy from his cage, Buggy's crew are laughing. Zoro suddenly finds himself struck in the side by a hand holding a knife. Buggy floats behind Zoro as he finds himself fighting the hand and boasts about his Devil Fruit powers, the Bara Bara no Mi.

Zoro is injured and finds although he came to rescue Luffy, he himself now needs rescuing. While Nami is struck with shock about the whole thing, Luffy calls Buggy "Big nose" while claiming he is a jerk for striking Zoro in the back. Buggy gets angry and sends his hand out again this time to kill Luffy, however Luffy grasps the knife between his teeth. As Luffy claims he will finish Buggy, Buggy and his crew laugh Luffy tells Zoro to escape, Nami doesn't understand, however Zoro gets the idea of what Luffy is one about.

Zoro attempts to escape, but Buggy launches his Bara Bara no Hou. Zoro heads for the cannon and turns it over to face Buggy and his crew. Nami lights the fuse and the cannon fires as the Buggy Pirates. While the Buggy crew are down for the count, Zoro grabs the cage Luffy is in and he makes a break for it with Nami behind him. Buggy's crew began their bearings and find all three of them gone - as well as the key to Luffy's cage.

Buggy's crew are searching the town, Zoro is on top of a roof with Buggy. Buggy is angry at the three of them.
