    Devil's Fruit. This chapter has 19 searchable pages. Opening and key page summaries: The title page of Chapter 19, titled "DEVIL'S FRUIT," features Monkey D. Luffy sitting on a wooden crate labeled "DANGER." He holds a giant toothbrush and is brushing the teeth of a massive, wide-mouthed hippopotamus sitting beside him. Buggy's body parts are separated and scattered across the street. His lower half runs forward while his head floats in the air. Luffy runs in the background. Suddenly, Buggy's head drops to the ground with a "PLOP!" and his body crashes down with an "AHCK!!" as Luffy looks back with a grin. Luffy spits on Buggy's hat, which is lying on the ground. Buggy, coughing on the ground, yells, "PUUHT! PUUHEHT!! THAT'S DIRTY, STOP IT! YOU EVEN SPAT ON IT!!" Luffy retorts, "IT'S YOUR OWN SALIVA!!" Buggy continues to complain, "UGGHH! KEHK... KEHK!!" while Luffy stands over him, shouting, "DAMMIT, HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY TREASURE LIKE THAT!!" Luffy then grabs Buggy by the collar, stretching his own face forward as he angrily warns, "SHANKS BEING YOUR COMRADE... DON'T YOU DARE REPEAT THOSE WORDS EVER AGAIN!!" Buggy sweats and cries out, "AIYAY-AYAY-AH!!" Buggy defends himself, saying, "HUH... EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT SORT OF RELATIONSHIP YOU HAD WITH SHANKS!! IT'S MY OWN CHOICE HOW I CAN SPEAK OF HIM!!" Luffy prepares to strike, yelling, "TAKE THIS!!" while Buggy's body parts begin to split apart with the sound "BA...RA... BA...RA...". Luffy delivers a chop to Buggy's head, shouting, "STAY STILL...!!" as Buggy groans, "HEU-KAHCK!!!" In the background, Buggy's crew members watch the fight in disbelief. One asks, "..... HEY... ISN'T OUR CAPTAIN... KINDA LOSING...?!" Another quickly replies, "D...DON'T SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS! DO YOU THINK CAPTAIN BUGGY WILL ACTUALLY LOSE? CAPTAIN'S REAL SKILLS WILL START NOW!" A third crew member sweatdrops and says, "... MOST LIKELY!" Meanwhile, Nami watches from behind a building, thinking to herself, "AIYAYAH... I WAS SO FASCINATED, I KEPT ON WATCHING. I'VE GOT TO QUICKLY STEAL THE WAREHOUSE TREASURE AND RUN AWAY!" At the villagers' shelter, the townsfolk are growing increasingly anxious. A man with glasses says, "IT'S BEEN SO LONG AND THE CHIEF STILL HASN'T RETURNED! IT'S TOO STRANGE!!" An older bald man with white hair on the sides, Poro, mutters, "THAT MAN... MAKING THE TOWNSPEOPLE WORRY..." Other villagers chime in, "YEAH... AND WE'VE ALSO HEARD A COUPLE OF CANNON NOISES... SOMETHING'S DEFINITELY HAPPENED IN THE VILLAGE..." Poro steps forward resolutely, announcing, "... ALRIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO CHECK OUT THE VILLAGE AND RETURN SHORTLY. YOU ALL WAIT HERE!" The villagers protest Poro's decision, saying, "YOU MUSTN'T GO ALONE!" A young man with light slicked-back hair steps forward, volunteering, "I'LL GO TOO." Poro turns to him and warns, "FOOL! THE ONES AT THE VILLAGE ARE PIRATES! BUGGY'S CREW IS KNOWN FOR BEING LOW AND DIRTY!!" The young man replies firmly, "THAT'S WHY WE REALLY HAVE TO GO! IF WE CAN'T PROTECT OUR OWN CHIEF, HOW COULD ANYONE CALL US VILLAGERS!" Other villagers join in, holding makeshift weapons: "SINCE IT'S A VOLUNTARY ACTION WE'RE ALL TAKING! IT'S USELESS TO TRY AND STOP US..." Poro smiles and relents, shouting, "DO WHAT-EVER YOU WANT!! LET'S GO!" The villagers cheer in unison, "YEAH! YEAH!" Back at the battle, Buggy lies on the ground before rising in a fit of rage. He screams, "THROUGH-OUT MY WHOLE LIFE, EVEN UNTIL TODAY, THERE WAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS MADE ME MADDER THAN HE DID!! THAT BASTARD, HE... HE TOOK A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TREASURE FROM ME!!! I CAN'T FORGIVE HIM!!" Luffy looks on with a confused expression. Buggy's anger triggers a flashback to his days as a young pirate trainee. On a pirate ship, the crew is cheering, "HAHAHA. FIGHT, FIGHT!! DON'T LOSE TO EACH OTHER!!" and "OOOH, THEY'RE FIGHTING AGAIN!" In the flashback, a young Shanks and a young Buggy are locked in a heated argument. Shanks yells, "NO, IT'S THE SOUTH POLE!!" while Buggy screams back, "IT'S THE NORTH POLE!!" Shanks retorts, "YOU'RE STILL INSISTING ON THAT, MORON!" and Buggy replies, "OF COURSE! I'M TELLING YOU I'M RIGHT!!" Suddenly, Silvers Rayleigh strikes both of them on the head with a loud "DONK! DONK!" and "BOKA! BOKA! BOKA!" Shanks and Buggy cry out, "OUCH!" and "EEK!" as Rayleigh scolds them, "YOU TWO ALWAYS GONNA FIGHT OR WHAT?! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!" Rayleigh continues, "I CAN'T SEE WHY WHETHER THE NORTH POLE OR THE SOUTH POLE IS COLDER HAS TO DO WITH YOU!! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW SO BADLY, GO TO BOTH PLACES AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF!! IDIOTS..." while the rest of the crew laughs in the background. Later page summaries: Buggy laughs hysterically in private, holding the real Devil's Fruit in one hand and his treasure map in the other. He gloats, "EVERYTHING TURNED OUT AS PLANNED!! WITH THE MONEY FROM SELLING THE FRUIT AND THE TREASURE FROM THE MAP, I COULD FORM THE BEST PIRATE CREW IN THE WORLD AND STEAL THE MOST VALU- I DON'T NEED TO BE A PIRATE TRAINEE ANYMORE. I BETTER GET OFF THIS SHIP BEFORE ANYONE FINDS OUT." Suddenly, Shanks appears behind him, calling out, "YO BUGGY, WHATCHA DOING HERE?" Startled, Buggy quickly shoves the Devil's Fruit into his mouth and hides the map behind his back. Shanks looks at him curiously, saying, "YOUR FACE SURE IS A SIGHT." Buggy thinks, "W..WHAT THE, SO IT WAS THIS IDIOT. SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH." Shanks starts to walk away, warning, "DON'T STEAL TOO MUCH FOOD. THE COOK WILL GET MAD!" Buggy sighs in relief, "PHEW... THE DANGER HAS PASSED..." But Shanks suddenly turns back, saying, "OH YEAH! IF I THINK ABOUT IT THE CAPTAIN JUST..." Buggy is so shocked that he accidentally swallows the entire Devil's Fruit whole with a massive "GULP!!" Buggy screams in absolute horror, "AAAAAA-AAAAAH-HHHHH-HHHHH-HHHHH" as Shanks looks on in confusion. Buggy grabs Shanks by the collar, shaking him violently and screaming, "YOU... YOU... YOU BASTARD, I... I...! I... AA... AAAAHH!!" During the struggle, the treasure map slips from Buggy's hand and flies away into the wind. Buggy shrieks, "AAAAH-HHH, MY MAP!!!" Shanks asks, "WHAT IS THAT? THAT PIECE OF PAPER." Buggy leaps over the ship's railing to catch the map, plunging into the ocean with a loud splash. Shanks calls out, "HEY!! BUGGY?!" Submerged in the water, Buggy suddenly realizes he cannot swim. He panics as he sinks, thinking, "WHAT THE... MY BODY CAN'T MOVE PROPERLY..." Buggy flails wildly in the water, drowning as he cries, "HE... HELP...!! GULP.. GULP...!!! SOMEONE SAVE ME...!!!" On the ship, the crew members are baffled. One shouts, "HEY, MAN. WHATCHA DOING?! SWIMMING'S YOUR SPECIALTY!" Others ask, "WHAT THE? WHAT'S GOING ON, SHANKS?" and "EEEH? WHAT'S THAT GUY DOING?" Shanks immediately dives into the water, shouting, "I'LL SAVE YOU... LOOK, SHANKS!!" Back in the present, Buggy finishes his story, crying tears of rage as he yells at Luffy, "SO I... ATE A ONE HUNDRED MILLION BELI WORTH FRUIT... AND BECAME UNABLE TO SWIM!! AND I ALSO MISSED THE TREASURE LYING ON THE SEABED!! BECAUSE OF THAT IDIOT MY FUTURE LIFE PLANS WERE POSTPONED FOR TEN YEARS!!!" Luffy blinks and says, "OH... SO SHANKS SAVED YOUR LIFE." Buggy snaps back furiously, "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT PART!!!" Buggy flies into the air, separating his body parts once again. He screams, "SO THAT'S WHY I PROMISED MYSELF!! IF I CAN'T GET ANYYTHING UNDER THE SEA THEN I'D SETTLE FOR EVERY TREASURE ABOVE IT!!! WITH THIS DEVIL'S FRUIT POWER!! BECAUSE OF THAT WHO EVER TOUCHES MY TREASURE... WHOEVER THAT IS I NEVER...!" Luffy looks up in surprise. Suddenly, Nami is seen running away in the background, carrying a large sack of treasure. Luffy notices her and says, "AA..." Buggy spots her too, his face contorting in rage as he roars, "LEAVE THEM ALIVE!!!" Nami looks back in surprise, saying, "EH?"
