Chapter 24: Not a Monster...

   
       Eisenhower grabbed a gun which made everyone jump. Sarah jumped infront of Gold protecting him, "no! Please don't hurt him! If he is a threat, he would've killed me and then Buggy, but he didn't! He's different from the other zombies!"

Eisenhower frowned at her, "you should've shot him, Sarah! If no one is gonna do it, then I will."

"No! If you are, you have to shoot me too!" Sarah frowned tearing up.

Buggy and Luffy then jumped in grabbing the gun from Eisenhower, when suddenly the gun went off. They heard an unnatural cry and saw Mr Gold holding Sarah. She was shot in the stomach. Mr Gold was the one who made the cry. He teared up holding her face as he put pressure on her wound. This made Gold angry. His eyes turn from white to dark red. He got up and growled loudly. He then rammed into Eisenhower and shoved him down. Luffy grabbed Gold thinking he would eat him now.

"Don't let him eat me!" Eisenhower screamed when Buggy ran to Sarah and put pressure on her wound. She was whining in pain.

"Gold! GOLD!!!" Luffy cried, "Calm down! Don't eat him!"

Mr Gold wasn't going to, all he wanted was to beat him for what he did to his daughter.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Buggy yelled at Eisenhower. "You shot her!!!"

"You boys attacked me!" Eisenhower yelled back.

"...Luffy let Gold go." Buggy frowned.

Luffy then let Gold go and Buggy went to him "You need to calm down! I know he hurt Sarah, I'm just as mad, but he's going to FIX this!!" he glared at Eisenhower, "you're a doctor! Fix her up, RIGHT NOW or I'll kill you myself!!"

Eisenhower shivered but did as he was told, he went to Sarah and examined the wound, "the bullet passed straight through...at least I don't need to remove it from the angle....it appears to have missed all vital organs."

"Just fix it!" Buggy growled.

Sarah whined in pain. Eisenhower nodded nervously and went to grab his bag with all his surgical instruments in it, while he went for it Buggy applied pressure to Sarah's wound.

"Just hang in there, honey. You're going to be just fine. The doctor is going to patch you up" he tried to comfort her.

The doctor then returned. After a while she was fixed up and Buggy picked her up and carried her to their bedroom. He laid her down to rest. Mr Gold then came in and looked worried.

"She'll be okay, Gold," Buggy said and cautiously patted his arm.

Gold came to her and held her hand. Sarah opened her eyes looking up at him, "papa?"

He smiled at her and squeezed her hand tightly.

"He's here, honey. We both are," Buggy said taking her other hand, "you're going to be okay."

"...I'm sorry...I just couldn't let him take you away from me...," she broke down.

Mr Gold looked at her sadly. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead and held her tightly. For awhile now, Sarah held Buggy's hand tightly. She was scared and shaking. Now they didn't have the equipment from a hospital anymore, it scared her. She gripped on Buggy tightly crying and shaking. Mr Gold was sitting on the side of the bed and seen her shaking and crying, so he rested his hand on her head and petted her hair.

Mr Gold lowered his head and kissed her forehead to comfort her. While Gold watched over her, Buggy went to train with Luffy. But Buggy couldn't concentrate. He was too upset because he was worried about Sarah. Luffy and Oracle could see it since he was not being able to dodge each blow from each other.

"I think maybe you should sit this one out," Luffy said to Buggy.

He frowned "why?!"

"You're struggling, dude. And it's okay. We get it. You can't focus right now because of what happened."

".....i'll be fine. I'll do better," Buggy insisted.

They tried again, but Buggy messed up again.

"Maybe Luffy is right. You should sit this one out, Buggy," Oracle said.

Buggy growled at them both, "I'm fine!" He then detached his fist and punched Luffy hard in the stomach. Luffy fell back and coughed up blood.

Buggy was then in shock, ".....you're rubber! How did that hurt you so bad?" he ran to Luffy and helped him to stand, "geez kid, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"Well the good news is...you're improving your strength, Biggy."

Oracle rush to get Dr Eisenhower.

The Dr came and frowned when he saw Luffy had been hit so hard, "I think it might be safer for everyone if you're put in solitary confinement."

"WHAT?! WHY??" Buggy cried.

"You've hurt Luffy, and you attacked me earlier—"

"I did not! You're lucky I didn't—"

"And that's twice you've threatened me. Oracle needs to scan you and access you. I think you're becoming a threat to us, Buggy."

Buggy frowned more, "fine! Let him scan me! It'll only prove that I am NO threat."

Oracle then scanned him knowing he wasn't.

"Threat:...no threat..."

"No that can't be right! Check him again, Oracle."

"I said he is no threat, doctor!"

"Thanks, man" Buggy said to Oracle. He then turned to Eisenhower, "I'm starting to think you're the only threat here doc. First you try to shoot Gold, then you actually DID shoot Sarah, now you're trying to put me in isolation. What's going on with you? Are you losing your mind?"

"No! I feel like I am the one here who knows Gold could kill us all!" He snapped.

"But Gold shows no signs of threat, doctor," Oracle explained. He then scanned him, "But you do seem a bit paranoid. You might need to relax after you fix Luffy."

"That's a great idea," Buggy agreed, "maybe you're just under too much stress."

Eisenhower frowned as he took Luffy from the room, "This young man needs to rest up now. No more training today, thanks to the clown."

Buggy clenched his jaw, but didn't say anything. He didn't want to argue with him no more. Oracle then placed his metallic hand on Buggy's shoulder. He suggested he should get some rest as well. Buggy nodded and walked out. Sarah was asleep still and Mr Gold was still beside her watching her.

Buggy sighed pulling and chair and played the radio. He rummaged the stations until he found a news station that worked. He froze hearing they announced the undead were forming so bad that the military stationed everywhere in the entire US. Now the Air Force and the marines. The undead were now becoming harder and harder.

Buggy hoped this would help while he and Luffy thought they could stop Davy Jones. Sarah finally woke up and groaned waking up. She looked at Buggy. "Buggy?"

Buggy turned to her. "You ok, baby?"

"I'm slightly in pain..."

Buggy took her hand and held her tightly and kissed her hand. He wished he could end Davy Jones now. Where was he anyway? He hadn't seen him for centuries. He was obviously the third person frozen with him and Luffy. Where ever he was, Luffy and him would stop him.
