Thunder Demon Luffy's

Chapter 80's

As Sanji started walking into the storage area, Luffy headed towards the head of the Going Merry, but before he could get there, Zoro's voice stopped Luffy in his tracks.

"Hey captain, there's a man on the side of the ship," Zoro said calmly as he leaned over looking to the side of the ship, and watched as a strangely dressed man clung to the side of the ship.

"What do you mean there's a man on the side of the ship?" Luffy asked as he stopped and started walking back towards Zoro and everyone started to stand up. When Luffy got there, he leaned over to look at the man hanging beside his ship.

"Hmm, can you see that, next to the ship there really is someone," Luffy said as he looked at the strange man with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Please, please help me!" the man begged the crew causing everyone to raise their eyebrows at him. "you can't let me fall into the water! I'm a devillic fruit eater, so I can't swim!" the man pleaded with a glare in his eyes.

"Father of the devil, you say?" Luffy asked in a bored tone as he looked at the man.

"Yes, right, the devil's fruit!" he said it caused Luffy to nod his head before he looked at Johnny and Yosaku.

"Pull him," Luffy said to the bounty hunter duo, then they immediately saluted and pulled the strange man onto the boat. As they pulled him up, the man plopped down onto the deck of the ship and started breathing heavily, he said, then everyone moved away from the side of the ship and placed themselves in various parts of the deck to be able to defend the ship effectively if the unwanted happened.

"Buddy, I thought I was going to die there," said the man gasping for breath and he then sat on the floor. Luffy walked over to one of the barrels on the deck and sat on it, before turning his attention to the strangely dressed man.

"Heyyyy, you saved me, thank you!" said the man while slightly bowing to Luffy and the crew. "I never imagined that my life would be saved by a group of strangers" he said in a relieved tone.

"So, what kind of demon fruit are you eating?" Luffy asked, while putting his right foot on top of the barrel he was sitting on.

"Well, let's see, since I can't go anywhere until my ship picks me up, I think there's no harm in having a little fun" the man said as he began to stand up.

Everyone immediately raised their vigilance and looked at the man. The strange man walked up to Johnny and slapped him in the face causing Johnny to be thrown backwards, quickly everyone taking out their weapons and taking a fighting position.

Everyone except Luffy was still sitting in the barrel with a flat expression on his face.

"How dare you!" Yosaku and Zoro said angrily and they prepared to attack the man.

"Quiet down, there's no need to get too excited," Johnny's voice rang out from where the strange man stood, causing everyone's eyes including Luffy to widen in shock. "We're just having fun!" speaking Johnny's voice from the strange man's location happily, as he moved his hand from his face everyone could see the perfect imitation of not just Johnny's face, but even his voice and body.

'The Clone-Clone fruit!' thought Luffy as he looked at the man with a surprised expression on his face. 'Now he's proven to be useful, ' added Luffy in his head with a grin on his face.

"What the hell," said Johnny from his position at the bottom. "That's me!" Johnny said as he stared at the perfect imitation of himself in everything except the clothes he was wearing.

"And if I touch my face with my left hand" said the man in Johnny's voice as he touched his face with his left. "I'm back to normal" he said as he returned to normal. "Now that's the power of the Clone-Clone devil fruit you see," he added causing everyone to stare at him with astonished expressions on their faces.

"You have an interesting devil fruit, sir ...?" Luffy said and waited for the man to say his name.

"Oh, forgive me, where is my manners," said the man while slightly bowing. "My name is Bon Clay!" he introduced himself.

"Then, you have an interesting power, Mr. Bon Clay," said Luffy as he watched Bon clay go around and touch the sides of the faces of each member of his crew one by one.

"Yes, I'm pretty proud of that" Bon Clay said as he walked over and touched the side of Luffy's face. Honestly, Luffy still did not trust the man, but Luffy did not see any problem if the man could imitate him, it was not like Bon clay could clone the devil fruit or his strength.

Bon Clay then takes a few steps back and begins to transform into each of Luffy's crew members even Luffy himself, but when he transforms into Nami he stops and talks.

"Not only that, I can change bodies too!" said the man while pulling his clothes open to show everyone the very naked body of Nami.

All the eyes of the men on the ship except Luffy and Zoro widened and their jaws fell to the floor while Luffy only looked with an unimpressed expression on his face.

"hmmm, I've seen better," Luffy said with a shrug, which caused Nojiko to chuckle while Nami punched Bon Clay right in the head.

"Stop that!" Nami yells as she hits him, then Nami turns to Luffy. "And what do you mean you've seen better !?" Nami yells / asks. Luffy simply shrugged with a completely unpressured facial expression, which caused Nami to grumble softly.

"I'm really sorry, but I better not show my strength anymore" the man said as he rose from the floor and groped his head.

"No! Do again!" Usopp and Chopper cheered while Luffy looked on with a small smile.

"Well, if you insist," said the man before he started turning into a random group of people one after another, while dancing around in circles while Usopp, Chopper, and Johnny cheered.

After Bon Clay finished showing his strength, he started dancing with Usopp and Chopper on deck. It was then that Luffy and Nami saw a ship rapidly approaching from the right side of the Going Merry.

When Bon Clay saw the ship, he stopped dancing and jumped to the side of the ship and turned towards the crew, then he said.

"It's time to say goodbye? Too bad," Bon Clay said in a sad voice that caused Usopp and Chopper to become sad as well.

"Noo, you can't go!" Usopp said with tears in his eyes.

"Try not to be sad, the trip should always include a farewell," Bon Clay said while Luffy nodded in agreement. Bon Clay then jumped from the Going Merry towards his own ship. "Now, let's go!" Bon Clay said to his crew.

"Yes, Mr.2 Mr. Bon Clay,!" one of his crew members replied respectfully, making the eyes of the entire straw hat crew widen in shock and causing Luffy to jump off the barrel and stand up.

"Did he just say ...?" Luffy asked as he watched the paddle boat sail at an impressive speed.

"Mrs. 2?" Zoro added to Luffy's question.

"So, not only does our enemy know how we look, but he can also turn into us" Luffy said with a sigh.

"That's not it," Vivi's voice sounded stressed. "I saw something in his memory of all the faces he managed to emulate" he said, causing Luffy to narrow his eyes. "One of those faces exists .... my father," he said causing their eyes to widen in surprise.

"Crocodile may be a scoundrel, but I have to admit that he knows how to take over a country" Luffy said as he folded his arms and leaned against the side of the ship.

"Yes, having the ability to imitate a king would easily cause a lot of trouble for a country" Zoro said with a serious expression on his face.

"We just let the worst get away, huh?" Usopp said as he shook his head.

"What makes things worse is when he finds out that we're the ones that Baroque Works is after, he can turn into one of us and we won't even be able to trust our own friend" Nami said in a serious voice as she walked to the middle of the deck. Luffy couldn't disagree with Nami.

True, Luffy is confident he can trust his crew, but they have only been together for only a few weeks and so far one man has committed treason on his ship. The last thing this crew needed was someone disguised as one of them and causing more trouble from within.

"That's true, however, this might be a good thing for us as well," Luffy said causing everyone to stare at him with a puzzled expression on his face.

"With us knowing his abilities, we can beat him at his own game" Luffy added with a grin on his face.

"All right, everybody, get together, Johnny go get Sanji!" Luffy's words caused everyone to step forward making a circle with Luffy in the middle while Johnny ran into the kitchen to look for Sanji.

While Johnny is looking for Sanji, Luffy starts looking around for something in his coat. After about a minute, Luffy found what he was looking for and took it out for everyone to see. In Luffy's hands was a plain old black marker.

When everyone saw what it was, they were all sweating.

'How are we going to beat Mr. 2 with a marker?' They all thought in a flat tone. Then Sanji and Johnny joined them on deck and took up positions in the circle around Luffy. Automatically, Sanji places himself between Nami and Vivi.

"OK, stick out your left arm .. and wings," Luffy said adding the last part when he saw Vivi Karoo's duck in the circle as well. Luffy then went to each of his crew members one by one and drew an X mark on their left hand just above the wrist.

"From now on, no matter what happens. This left arm is proof that you're a member of my crew and more importantly, with this X sign we're all friends," luffy said as he drew the X mark in his own hand and stuck it out.

"Aye, Captain!" they all answered with smiles on their faces.

"Oh and find something to hide this mark," Luffy said causing them all to nod their heads. Zoro was about to say something to his captain, but before he could, the entire ship started to shake violently and the waves around the ship started to get very wild.

Suddenly something enormous started to emerge from the water on the right side of the ship, causing everyone to panic.

"What's going on!?" My yosaku screamed as he and Johnny took out their bisento.

"Something out of the water!" Nojiko shouted as she took out her three-part staff and got ready for a fight.

"That's the Sea Cat!" Shouted Vivi as the creature had fully appeared. Out of the water came a giant sea monster like a cat staring at the ship.

"It's a sea monster!" Chopper and Usopp yelled as they hugged each other.

"It's like food to me!" Zoro shouted as he pulled out all three of his swords preparing to attack the creature.

"No, you can't eat it!" Vivi yells at Zoro which causes her to stop. "The sea cat is a sacred animal in Alabasta, I can't let you eat it," Vivi said firmly causing Zoro to sigh and sheathed his sword.

"Alright, we just need to scare it," Luffy said in a bored tone. As he said that, a loud thunderbolt rang out from the clear blue sky, scaring the giant sea cat.

"We are definitely getting closer to Alabasta," Vivi said with a smile as she watched the sea cat swim away after being feared by the lightning created by Luffy.

"Yes, well .. The sight you see behind us is all the evidence I need to know that we're getting closer," nojiko said with a smirk when she saw the ocean the back of the ship, which caused everyone to see where Nojiko was looking.

"That's a lot of ships" Luffy said as he stared at the roughly 50 ships behind them.

"Yes, and they all have the Baroque Works symbol," Usopp said as he looked through the telescope.

"It seems that all the agents have started to gather," Luffy said in an excited tone.

"That must be Billions, they are subordinates directly under the Agent Officer," Vivi said as she stared at the ship.

"Disregard them for now," Luffy said in a serious voice. "We have to focus on our goals" Luffy said.

'In addition, I don't want to kill my prospective employees, ' thought Luffy as he stared at the ships with a grin.

"Hey, I saw the island!" Johnny shouted, causing all of them to stare at the front of the ship and see the Dessert Island of Alabasta.

"Let's dock in Nanohana city, we have to hide the ship," Vivi said causing Luffy to nod his head. The entire crew started running around and getting ready to anchor the ship, while Vivi and Luffy walked up to the upper deck to keep an eye on everything.

"you must be happy to finally get home" Luffy said to Vivi who was standing to her right. "Do you have any plans on how to deal with the rebellion?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, I do have a plan but I don't know how well the plan will work" Vivi said as she stared at the island. Luffy didn't bother to say anything to her, Luffy knew whatever plan Vivi had in mind, involved trying to save lives from both sides.

Luffy has traveled the world and seen many conflicts, he knows that there is no way to end this without bloodshed.
