A Terrifying Mysterious Power! Captain Buggy, The Clown Pirate!

Giving her name as Nami, the young woman explains that she is a thief whose marks are pirates and no one else. After she and Luffy work together to escape the Buggy Pirates, the two duck into a restaurant. There she confesses that she is gathering a hundred million Berries toward an aim she will not name, and she demonstrates her talent for navigation.

Betraying Luffy, Nami ties him up and presents him to Buggy's crew as proof of her good faith. Buggy bites, seals him inside a cage, and readies a ferocious explosive cannonball known as a Buggy Ball; a single test round levels a whole row of houses, and the explosion draws the eye of Zoro, who has only just arrived in town. Ordered by Buggy to send a Buggy Ball into the caged Luffy, Nami will not do it. When one of the pirates lights the fuse in her place, she pinches it dead with her bare hand and burns herself in the process. As the crew turns on her, Zoro storms in and lops off Buggy's hand and leg, but the severed hand drives a blade into his back and snaps itself back into place. Buggy reveals that the Bara Bara no Mi is his power, letting him break into pieces, steer them, and rejoin them at will. Refusing to back down, Zoro hauls the cannon around to face the Buggy Pirates and has Nami spark the fuse again, scattering the crew with the blast.

First appearances in this entry include the Acrobatic Fuwas, the Bara Bara Ho technique, and the Bara Bara no Mi. The adaptation reworks several manga beats: on the balcony Nami is left standing instead of seated, the crewman who mocks Buggy's nose escapes with a beating rather than death, and her reason for chasing a hundred million Berries goes unmentioned. A handful of printed moments are removed, among them her drinking match with a crewmate and her ribbing of Luffy at the party, while a fresh shot adds Nami pulling the parts of her wooden staff out from under her skirt.
