"Whoa! That's one huge sword!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Take a closer look" Ichigo replied and swung it down towards Luffy as he charged forwards but was halted by a kick in the gut courtesy of Naruto and went sliding back. The only thank you he got was Luffy's arm stretching out towards him and his rubber fist planting itself squarely against his jaw. The ninja went flying back but managed to land on his feet and slide back. Realising simplistic tactics wouldn't work against someone as powerful as a rubberman he quickly pulled off a hand seal.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" he shouted.
Instantly, a swarm of around 50 Naruto copies sprang from behind Naruto in an explosion of white smoke.
"He cloned himself!" Ichigo gasped.
"Smoker! Stop giving birth to Narutos you bastard!" Luffy shouted.
"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo yelled and a bright, blue flash burst from his sword and flew into the swarm of clones causing them to explode in a massive burst of white smoke. The real Naruto made sure to jump out of harm's way.
'Looks like that might be a problem...' he thought. Suddenly his attention shifted to Luffy who was running up behind him.
"Gomu Gomu no..." he began, stretching one arm far back.
Acting quickly, Naruto bit open his thumb and performed some fast hand seals.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he shouted bringing a hand slamming down to the ground. Instantly a toad 5 times his size appeared behind him equipped with its own sword.
"Bullet!" Luffy finished as his arm came flying forwards and his fist came straight into contact with the side of the toad's blade. "Eh? I'll eat you bastard!"
However, the toad was faster than it looked and grabbed Luffy by the neck before slamming him into the ground.
Naruto meanwhile jumped back from another of Ichigo's horizontal slashes then ran forwards again, summoning 2 clones as he went. One of them ran to Ichigo's side and firmly grabbed his sword arm keeping it in place, the second ducked down and grabbed Ichigo around the waist while the original formed a Rasengan in his hand and charged towards Ichigo.
"Rasengan!" he shouted as he thrusted it forwards.
In desperation Ichigo punched the clone holding his sword arm in the face causing it to dissipiate and then swung his sword at Naruto. It came into contact with the Rasengan and the two forces stayed still for a while, Zangestu failing to cut through the Rasengan. Not at that moment anyway.
"Getsuga..." he began.
"I don't think so!" the clone who was grappling his waist yelled and threw Ichigo down on to his back.
"You're finished!" Naruto announced thrusting his hand down towards Ichigo but he rolled out of harm's way and back on to his feet. While the Rasengan harmlessly hit the ground, he swung his blade straight for Naruto's neck but the clone once again intervened and jumped on to the side of the blade, weighing it down so it missed. Ordinarily Ichigo could have been able to handle this weight but the element of surprise stopped this from being possible. The original Naruto then landed a flying kick straight into Ichigo's face, sending him flying into the toad who was looming over Luffy.
"Saves me the trouble!" Luffy grinned jumping to his feet as Ichigo got off the now dazed toad who was lying on his back before disappearing in a puff of white smoke.
"Hmph, guess that's not gonna work either" Naruto commented.
"Damn straight!" Luffy replied running back towards him "Now take me on yourself!"
Luffy stretched a rubber arm forwards, attempting to feed Naruto a good old fashioned knuckle sandwich but it was averted by a sidestep then to heighten problems his arm was caught by Naruto and he was pulled forwards. In response he aimed another punch for Naruto's face only for the ninja to duck and uppercut Luffy, releasing his arm as he did so. As Luffy reeled back he kicked him in the gut then punched him across the face, sending his head turning off to the side. Luffy just grinned though.
"Was that the best you've got?" he asked before ramming his fist into Naruto's gut. He tried to cry out in pain but the wind was completely knocked from his lungs. His feet were lifted straight off the ground and the force of the blow sent him flying away before hitting the ground face up several meteres away.
'Of course... he's a rubberman... can't punch out a rubberman' Naruto thought as he felt his kunai pouch.
Luffy meanwhile ducked another swing of Ichigo's sword. He then span round to face Ichigo and started stepping back, ducking and dodging wildly to avoid being sliced into mince meat.
"Watch it, you could have somebody's eye out with that thing!" he exclaimed.
"That's the general idea" Ichigo replied.
Just then Luffy delivered a kick to the side of Zangetsu causing Ichigo's sword arm to flail off to the side, allowing an open.
"Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" Luffy shouted and unleashed a series of rapid fire punches towards Ichigo's body, so fast and often it looked as if his arms had multiplied. Ichigo stepped back as Luffy advanced forwards, ducking and dodging in a much similar fashion as Luffy had just been. "Hehehe, how does it feel to have the tables turned on you huh?"
Luffy's fists seemed to be speeding up to Ichigo so he brought up his Zangetsu allowing the broad side to block Luffy's blows. However, more and more were gradually getting past his sword and stretching out, landing blows over Ichigo's body. Just as the hits were increasing however Naruto jumped up behind Luffy kunai in hand. He slashed for Luffy's head who had to stop his onslaught and jump to the side so he just got a cut on his cheek, albeit a noticeably long and deep one. Blood was already pouring down to his chin and dripping down to the ground.
"Didn't you die already?" he asked wiping the blood from his face.
"Who dies from one hit?" Naruto asked.
"You, I would have hoped!" Luffy shouted stretching out his fist to land another punch on Naruto, however the ninja sidestepped and used his kunai to slash open his arm. Luffy quickly retracted his arm to prevent the cut from being too deep but this made it go further down his arm "Dammit! Stop that!"
"Says something... I'm cutting you more than Ichigo is and he's got a bigass sword as large as me"
"Ah, to hell with you" Ichigo retorted and swung his sword for Naruto who jumped back, but as his sword went off course from Naruto the tassels didn't and wrapped around Naruto's arm.
"Eh!"
"Let's see how you like it bastard!" Ichigo roared and cut Naruto clean in half vertically starting at the head.
"He-he..." Luffy gasped.
Ichigo sighed as the halved Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Needs to stop with the smoke already, what is he a magician?" Luffy continued.
"I'm pretty sure that was the same clone as before actually" Ichigo replied.
"What clone? I don't believe we've been acquainted" Luffy replied.
"Well... wait why the hell are we having a chat!" Ichigo snapped and fired a Getsuga Tensho Luffy's way. The Strawhat jumped aside letting it cleave through the ground for an unforeseeable distance.
"Ryakuysho can be used by swords too now?" Luffy asked looking back.
"I wouldn't take your eyes off me!" Ichigo retorted swinging his sword at Luffy again but he jumped over it and spin-kicked Ichigo in the face sending him skidding back. He landed on his feet and started running at him again when Naruto jumped back into the fray and slashed at his face with a kunai. Luffy ducked and punched Naruto in his floating ribs, making him freeze in pain, then kicked the ninja in the gut sending him flying over to Ichigo.
"That's for those cuts earlier bastard!" Luffy told him.
Naruto looked Ichigo's way as he came flying over and sure enough another slash was aimed his way. Flipping in the air he maneuvered over the attack and landed on his feet in a crouch behind Ichigo before throwing a punch up at his head but it was blocked by the broad side of Ichigo's sword as the shinigami turned around. Naruto grunted as he started getting pushed back by Ichigo, who in this position had the advantage.
'Just like that.. I have the chance to catch them off guard and destroy them with a super powerful move!' Luffy thought and corked his mouth with his thumb "Gear... Third!"
The Strawhat sucked in air and his arm expanded accordingly but then the air transferred itself to his foot which he rose into the air.
"Gomu Gomu no..." he uttered.
"Hey... what's that huge shadow being cast over you?" Ichigo asked Naruto.
"Like that lie will throw me off!" Naruto replied.
A foolish decision from Naruto as Luffy shouted "Gigant Axe!" and slammed his giant foot down upon his two opponents.
Luffy quickly reverted to his foot to its original size so he wouldn't suffer Gear Third's side effects.
"That should've hurt" he said.
Luckily for them, Ichigo and Naruto had both managed to narrowly avoid getting stomped and were currently lying on the ground beside the impact zone. The shockwave alone had knocked the wind from them.
"What kind of weird monster is that guy..!" Ichigo gasped as he started getting to his feet.
Naruto was also getting to his feet when Luffy noticed and stretched his arm out, landing a rubber punch on the ninja's jaw which sent him flying back and tumbling across the ground. Ichigo had only just noticed when Luffy switched his target.
"Gomu gomu no flail!"
Luffy grabbed his outstretched arm and swung it to the side, planting his fist into the side of Ichigo's head sending him too flying through the air. While he flew Luffy stretched out his arm again and grabbed him by the ankle then threw him far up into the sky.
Meanwhile Naruto was getting back to his feet and was rubbing his jaw from which blood had been splattered. A few of his teeth were now loose and blood was pouring from his mouth.
'Dammit... that giant attack whatever it was hurt like hell without even hitting. I'll have to wait to recover before jumping into the fray again. Like this he hit me so easily...' Naruto thought to himself.
Meanwhile Luffy jumped up after Ichigo who launched a Getsuga Tensho his way. Luffy corked his mouth and activated Gear Third once more as the attack neared him.
"Gigant pistol!" he yelled as a now giant fist oblitarated the attack and headed for Ichigo. The shinigami quickly flash stepped down to the ground again to avoid getting smashed. Luffy then shifted the air in his bones to his foot.
"Gigant axe!" he yelled and swung his foot down on Ichigo who jumped out of the way.
"Good thing this form makes you so slow!" Ichigo yelled and launched another Gestuga Tensho up at Luffy who subsequently deactivated Gear Third so he was left suspended in the air much smaller than before so that the Getsuga Tensho flew right past him.
"I was wondering when this would come in useful" Luffy sighed in relief as he grabbed on to his hat and fell towards the ground.
"wha...!" Ichigo was too confused to attack. A big mistake, as he heard Naruto shout "Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"
He turned his head to see countless clones of Naruto surrounding him, though he didn't actually to need turn around which was confirmed when he turned full circle and saw he truly was trapped. Meanwhile Luffy crashed down to the ground then got to his feet, patting off dust from his tiny body.
"When did these guys get here?" he asked.
"I don't know but it looks like he's got serious!" Ichigo replied "So I will too"
Ichigo threw his sword arm forwards and grabbed ahold of it with his other hand.
"Bankai!" he shouted and released a flurry of black and red reiatsu which dissipiated quickly to reveal his Bankai "Tensa Zangetsu" he said and rose his black sword.
"Hey, your sword got smaller" Luffy pointed out.
"You got smaller, period" Ichigo replied "So I'll take you out now before it's too late"
Just then Luffy reinflated to his original size.
"Too late!" he laughed.
"Oh well, back to the bigger problem" Ichigo said and began to dash all around, cutting down all the shadow clones in his path making them disappear in puffs of smoke. They had no time to do counter attack as in mere seconds every single one of them was cleared from the arena "Now where's the original run off to?"
Luffy placed a fist on the ground and put his other hand on his thigh as he knelt and hung his head down "Doesn't matter. You're not fast enough. I'll beat you up then find him myself"
"You sure about that?" Ichigo asked turning to face Luffy and pointing his sword at him.
"From now on, you'll be left behind" Luffy said as his legs pumped his blood up and around his body extra fast, causing steam to rise from him and for his skin to turn pinkish in colour "Gear Second!"
Ichigo dashed forwards, hoping to catch him off guard with his speed, and sliced for Luffy's head. Luffy jumped over the attack then poised mid air for a jumping kick "Jet Stamp!"
Before Ichigo could react, Luffy's sole shot out like a bullet and planted itself in his face sending him flying backwards. He stabbed his sword into the ground in the hopes of slowing himself down but it didn't stop him fast enough as Luffy appeared by his side again.
"Jet Whip!" he shouted and side kicked Ichigo as if his leg was a whip, sending him flying along with his sword to another point of the battlefield.
It was at this moment that Renji awoke.
"Eh? Is that guy... beating up Ichigo!" he gasped.
"'That guy' may look stupid... well, he is stupid" Zoro replied "But he's also stupidly strong"
Ichigo tumbled across the battlefield and straightened himself up by sticking his sword in the ground. He gasped and coughed up some blood.
"Time to end this!" Luffy shouted as he ran over to him, arm stretched out far behind him "Jet..."
At that moment Naruto, now in Sage Mode, jumped back into the fray and hit Luffy in the side with a Rasengan. Luffy cried out in pain before being sent flying by the technique into a rock formation.
"Wha...?" Ichigo gasped as he pulled his sword from the ground and staggered.
"It's time I put an end to this" Naruto told him.
Ichigo started to back away as Naruto closed in. That was when Luffy ran up behind him. Ichigo spun around but knew that it was too late. He was going to be hit. That's what he thought.
Luffy fell backwards, bleeding from every pore. Everyone stared in disbelief. Nothing seemed to have hit him.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, Ichigo" Kisuke said "Looks like the sacrifice for us to live by instincts was none other than the Luffy fellow. No more recovery here, fellas. It's serious from here on out".
"What are you talking about? What the hell just happened!" Naruto shouted up at him.
He sensed an attack from behind and narrowly avoided dying at the hands of Ichigo, who had put on his vizard mask. His sword sunk through Naruto's shoulder as if Naruto were composed of hot butter. The ninja fell back with a scream.
"I see now" Ichigo nodded.
"The time for tomfoolery is over" Ulquiorra agreed "To think I could have been so blind".
"What the hell are you talking about? What's going on?" Zoro growled.
"The dimension lapper is the dimension I and a third of the people here belong to" Kisuke explained "There is no interdimensional energy, no risk from the dimensions merging. The only 'risk' is that now we will live up to our trolling instincts and kill you all so that our dimension, the absolute worst manga in history, can reign supreme!".
"Hmm, you'd think that this is a fanfiction and the author was trolled so hard by Kubo Tite that he stopped writing this chapter then came back over a year later with brand new perspectives and plans for the story causing it to change drastically because simply abandoning a story is no fun" Kakashi noted "But that is, of course, all hypothetical".
