Long Summary


Nami is in trouble, Buggy launches his top half at her with knives ready. Just as he is about to reach her, Luffy notices his lower half hasn't moved at all and kicks him in the lower regions. Buggy lays on the ground in pain, Luffy reminds him who he is fighting. Luffy tells Nami to abandon her treasures and run, but Nami refuses. As Nami claims the treasure is now hers, Buggy gets mad but Nami as a thief refuses to listen to the words from another.

Buggy then separates himself up further launching all parts of himself at Nami, except his feet which are acting as normal. Luffy spots his feet and grabs them, as Buggy continues to chase Nami Luffy begins to torture his feet causing Buggy intense pain and discomfort. Nami swings the bag of treasure around in an attempt to attack Buggy, but Buggy grabs the treasure. Neither one of the pair refusing to let go, Buggy attempts to strike Nami to make her, however Luffy once again reminds him who he is suppose to be fighting. Buggy is knocked into the bag of treasure, ripping the bag.

With Buggy apparently defeated, Luffy grabs the map of the Grand Line. Buggy once again rises up and attempt to reform himself; however Nami has already tied up several body parts and Buggy is left with just bits of his body. With Buggy clearly defeated he is launched into the air by Luffy sending him flying far away.
