Summary


Boodle challenges Buggy over the matter of the town. While the crew laugh, Cabaji the Acrobat, Buggy's second mate offers to deal with the mayor himself and leaps into the air to strike him down. Buggy steps in and tells Cabaji to hold off as the mayor challenged him directly. The Mayor's claim that the town is his treasure amuses Buggy, who only views gold and silver as treasure.

Buggy splits his right arm off and sends it flying towards the mayor. The hand grabs the mayor by the throat and lifts him off the ground, trying to get Buggy off him the mayor begins to hit his throat where the hands are. The mayor gets desperate not to die, Buggy gloats on how after this town he plans on heading out into the Grand Line and stealing all the treasures there. Nevertheless the Mayor's efforts amuse him, but Luffy appears and pulls the hand off Boodle's neck before Buggy can do anything else.

Buggy re-attaches the hand, Nami tells Zoro and Luffy to fight while she grabs the Grand Line map and any treasures she can find. The mayor is anything but pleased about seeing Luffy and the others, he wanted to fight Buggy on his own. Luffy renders the mayor unconscious (much to Nami's shock) to make sure he is safe.

Luffy decides to shout out "Hey Big nose!" to grab Buggy's attention. Since Buggy hates that name, his crew, Zoro and Nami are all horrified. Buggy demands they load the Buggy balls right now. Zoro and Nami flee for cover as the cannonball heads towards them. Luffy blows himself up like a balloon and shoots the cannonball straight back at the Buggy Pirates.
