"What are you doing? There's no need for you to judge my appearance!"
Alex squatted down, clutching his head as he said this to Nami.
When Nami saw Alex stepping in front of her, it reminded her of the ti he had taken advantage of her. Her anger flared up again. She was about to take the opportunity to hit him when she suddenly felt that the back of this man looked a little familiar. In that mont of hesitation, she heard soone say this man was Alex.
At first, when Nami learned that the man was indeed Alex, she felt a sense of relief—as if a great weight had been lifted off her chest. She even muttered under her breath, "Good… it's him."
But then she thought, Wait, why am I happy about that? I was the one who got taken advantage of!
And just then, Alex cluelessly asked her what she was mumbling about, which made her both embarrassed and furious. So of course—she punched him.
"Judging by the changes in your body, this must be the power of a Devil Fruit, right? But you clearly can't control it. That's why you look like this. How laughable. You can't even master your own fruit, and you still want to go to the Grand Line with that straw hat brat? That's basically suicide."
Buggy sneered at Alex as he finished speaking.
Alex's heart skipped a beat. Buggy wasn't wrong—if he couldn't even use his Devil Fruit properly, how could he possibly survive in the Grand Line?
But this Devil Fruit power had just erged without him even noticing. What kind of ability was it exactly?
Frustration crept over him.
As Buggy lay on the ground, laughing maniacally, a white dog suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What do you want, mutt? You got a death wish?"
Buggy's upper body lay on the ground, still wrecked from earlier injuries. He hadn't recovered and could only glare at Chouchou.
Chouchou stared at the big red round thing in front of him… and bit it.
"Damn mutt! You want to die?! Let go of my nose!"
Buggy howled in pain, tears flooding his face as Chouchou bit down hard on his big red nose.
"Did I change back yet?"
Alex tried to will himself back to normal, then turned to ask Nami.
"You didn't change back—you got even uglier."
Nami looked at his face. The red and orange stripes had shifted. Where once they had been sowhat symtrical, now most of his face was red with an awkward slash of orange through the middle. It completely ruined the balance and was seriously unpleasant to look at.
"Wow, that's so cool! Alex, change more! Your Devil Fruit power is hilarious!"
Luffy's voice rang in Alex's ears, full of childlike wonder.
"You idiot! What are you doing? Don't just stand there—finish off that big red nose!"
Alex turned to find Luffy standing beside him, just watching his transformations with keen interest. anwhile, Buggy, who had temporarily lost the ability to resist, was being ignored.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about him."
Luffy said cheerfully, swinging his arms as he walked toward Buggy's upper body, which was currently wrestling with Chouchou.
"You're so weak. You can't even beat a dog."
Luffy said sincerely after watching Chouchou bite Buggy a few more tis—Chouchou looking completely unfazed.
"Shut up! If it weren't for your underhanded tactics and targeting my weak spots, I'd have already taken care of that dog!"
Buggy snarled, gritting his teeth through the pain.
"Ohhh, so you can beat a dog?"
Luffy nodded, enlightened. His innocent comnt made Buggy's body ache even more.
"You damn straw-hat brat! How dare you mock ?!"
Buggy's upper body flew into the air, enraged, and launched a wild assault at Luffy.
While Luffy and Buggy brawled, Alex turned to Nami again. "Well? Did I finally turn back to normal?"
Nami looked at him. His stripes were at least symtrical this ti, but now his hair was sticking straight up—like he'd been struck by lightning. "You look even worse now, dumbass."
"Oh wow, Alex! Your hair looks like a broom, hahaha!"
As Luffy and Buggy separated, he glanced at Alex and burst into laughter, holding his stomach.
Luffy was laughing so hard, he didn't notice Buggy's lower half sneaking up behind him.
Buggy's legs crept up quietly, and a dagger extended from the toe of his shoe, aiming directly for Luffy's back.
"That was close—I almost got stabbed!"
Luffy's reflexes kicked in just in ti. He barely avoided the ambush but still got a shallow cut.
"You idiot! This is what you get for joking around—take this seriously already!"
Alex yelled, watching Luffy laugh at his broom-head while dodging deadly attacks. His blood pressure soared with frustration.
Then, with a hiss, the two wounds on Alex's body reopened, blood spurting out violently.
Soone was seriously about to give him an aneurysm…
