Chapter 10: The Return of Captain Kuro

They listened to the butler whom they thought was named Klahadore (which should have been stated sooner) was talking to a strange man named Jango. As they listened they heard some horrible things, for one Klahadore was a pirate that faked his death and another he was going to kill Kaya leave all of her money to him… and no one suspect a thing (unless of course someone accuses it because the butler always does it), they also make it look like an accident so that no would still suspect it (once again… unless someone suspects him because the butler always does it), not only that… but a pirate crew was going to attack the village.

"What were they talking about? It sounded mean." Said Luffy.

Sasuke slapped his forehead while Usopp just whispered "They're going to kill Kaya!"

"What?" yelled Luffy as he stood up, "You are not going to kill Kaya!" he yelled out.

"You idiot!" yelled Usopp getting up as well.

"Isn't it Usopp…" said Kuro, "What did you hear?"

"Oh nothing… nothing at all!" said Usopp.

"We heard everyone thing…" said Luffy.

Sasuke began to message a headache he began to develop, "Sometimes… you make it so hard to take care of you." He said.

"Take care of them Jango…" said Kuro.

Jango took out a ring, Usopp dived to the ground, Sasuke hid behind a tree sensing a strange aura about the ring.

"At the count of one, two, Jango… you will fall asleep." Said Jango.

"Luffy! Activate it!" shouted Sasuke.

"One" said Jango

"Why?" asked Luffy.

"Just do it!" yelled Sasuke.

"Two" said Jango.

Luffy shrugged… that's when the guy said "Jango" nothing happened, expect Jango fell sleep.

"Some sort hypnosis…" thought Luffy.

"Thought as much…" said Sasuke, "It was extremely weak so just activating would have reflected it back."

Kuro looked up Luffy he could have sworn his eyes were red for a few seconds, but it must have been his imagination. That's when Usopp got up.

"So should we kill them?" asked Jango waking up.

"No… those two I doubt anyone would believe because they're not from around here… Usopp on the other hand… he's the town liar. They wouldn't believe him even more than those two." Said Kuro.

Usopp gritted his teeth and ran off, Luffy was going down when Sasuke grabbed his arm.

"Now's not the time… kick his ass later." Said Sasuke.

Luffy gritted his teeth and nodded, "Fine…" he said.

Both of them disappeared in puffs of smoke.

"Next time you see those two… kill them." Said Kuro.

"But…" said Jango.

"I didn't think much of them until they disappeared… however… those two are hiding something big." Said Kuro.

In the middle of town, with Nami, Zoro and the three vegetable like kids. They had just watched Usopp run by very quickly…

"I wonder what happened?" asked Nami.

"I have no idea." Said Zoro.

"It looked like something just happened at the bluffs." Said Carrot.

"We should go see what happened." Said Nami, "Can you show us the way?"

That's when there was a puff of smoke that appeared in front of Nami and Luffy appeared from that puff of smoke.

"Hi!" said Luffy.

Of course when this happened Nami freaked out… and began to pound Luffy…

"You just had top surprise someone… didn't you?" asked Sasuke who had appeared in a puff of smoke not too far away.

"Hey Sasuke…" said Zoro with a shrug, "Did something happen?"

"We'll tell you later…" said Sasuke, "We have to go find Usopp…"

Wait!" yelled Luffy.

That's when Sasuke grabbed Luffy's mouth, "We shouldn't let the kids get involved." Whispered Sasuke.

Luffy nodded, and realized it would be bad with Usopp's pirates did get involved.

hours later they found Usopp… who looked extremely depressed.

"Hey! What happened!" said Luffy.

"Let me guess… they didn't believe you?" asked Sasuke.

"No… they didn't…" said Usopp who was clearly hiding his hand behind his back.

"What's going! We demand to know!" said Pepper.

"Nothing's going on! Nothing at all!" lied Usopp.

"Okay…" said Pepper slowly.

"We should go home." Said Carrot.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow captain." Said Onion.

And the three boys left…

"Thank you, for not telling them." Said Usopp.

"No problem." Said Luffy with a big smile.

"So what's going on?" asked Zoro.

Hours later, the three told them what was going on.

"So the town's going to get attacked." Said Nami banding Usopp's arm, who was shot there when he tired to unsuccessfully tried to warn Kaya.

"They didn't think much of you two, did they…" said Zoro.

Luffy and Sasuke shook their heads no.

"But I have the feeling after we used the Body Flicker they might have a bad feeling about us… I think the fact that they think me and Luffy can teleport can freak anyone out…" said Sasuke.

"So that wasn't teleporting?" asked Zor raising an eyebrow.

Usopp sighed, "I'm going to fight them." Said Usopp, "I have to protect my home from this invasion!"

"Okay I'm, with you!" said Luffy.

"I have no say in the matter." Said Sasuke.

Zoro and Nami nodded in agreement.

"Really why?" asked Usopp.

"Your hopelessly outnumbered." Said Nami.

"And you look scared out of your mind." Said Sasuke.

Usopp's legs were shaking… badly.

"Stop that!" yelled Usopp hitting his legs, "You can stop laughing."

None of the crew were laughing.

"We're not laughing." Said Luffy, "Right what your doing is incurably brave."

"That's why we're helping you." Said Zoro.

"Really? What an you guys do?" asked Usopp.

"I steal." Said Nami.

"I stench!" said Luffy.

"I cut!" said Zoro.

"I burn." Said Sasuke.

"I run and hide." Said Usopp.

"You've got to fight!" yelled everyone else.

Not too long later they were pouring oil down a slope.

"This is the only entrance to the island. So the plan is to let the pirates slip down hill while we attack them." Said Usopp.

"That's a pretty good idea." Said Zoro.

"Unless we fall down ourselves…" said Nami, "Or something sets it on fire."

She looked at Sasuke and Luffy, "Don't worry… I know more than just fire attacks, their just my specialty…" said Sasuke.

"I guess I'll try to not set things on fire! I only do in times of emergency anyways…" said Luffy.

That's when Sasuke sat down and began to breath heavily, "What's wrong?" asked Zoro.

"It's nothing." Said Sasuke, :"I'm going back to boats and rest.. I'll back in time for the fight."

That's when Sasuke disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"He was out for too long…" whispered Luffy to Zoro.

"I see…" said Zoro.

After a while the sun began to rise… and no one showed up.

"Oh man… what's taking so long!" yelled Luffy.

"Maybe they gave up…" said Usopp hopefully.

That's when Nami cupped her ears, "Do you hear something?"

Everyone else listened in… and that's when they heard yells to the north.

"It's coming from the north!" said Nami.

"Is this really the only entrance to the island?" asked Zoro.

"Oh no! I forgot about the one up north!" yelled Usopp.

"Oh no! That's where our boats are!" shouted Nami.

"Should that guy Sasuke be there?" asked Usopp.

"Um… yeah… I'm going to go help him." Said Luffy running off in some random direction.

"Oh Yay… your going to get lost…" sighed Sasuke.

"Don't' say that…" said Luffy.

"Which are you heading?" asked Sasuke.

"Which ever way is colder…" said Luffy.

"Go left!" yelled Sasuke.

"But that's not the right way!" said Luffy.

"Listen to me! You're going to wrong way!" yelled Sasuke.

While Luffy was lost and arguing with Sasuke, Nami and Zoro slipped down the slope… Nami got out but she left Zoro pushed Zoro further down… and Usopp also ran towards the North… pretty much… yeah… they were screwed.

Next Time: Things get screwed up... Luffy gets lost and when he finds the way back, something happens and Sasuke has to take over... can he and Zoro handle the threat? What's going to happen? Find out next time!
