As Naruto makes his way towards Arlong park he passes by Cocoyashi and slows down a little as he hears someone crying and muttering to themselves. 'Huh? Where's that coming from...the voice sounds familiar.' He thinks to himself as he looks from the village to the path before him leading to Arlong Park. After a moment of hesitation he changes direction to the village.

At Narutos current pace it takes him less than a minute to come to a stop on a building overlooking the centre of the village. He looks around to see a young orange haired woman with a familiar straw hat on her head, but what really caught his attention was the wound on her left shoulder which was pouring out blood. 'Is that who I think it is?' He wastes no time in jumping from his vantage point and landing in front of her.

'How dare that Alrong go against his word like that! I mean I've done everything he's asked...I made all those damn charts for him for the past eight years and now that I've almost collected the entire one hundred million beri he pulls this!' Nami thinks to herself as tears continue to fall from her eyes. She raises one of her hands to her shoulder to try and stop the bleeding from her self inflicted wound. "Why? Why didn't I just ask Naruto-san for help when I had the chance?" Nami quietly asks herself.

"Because you were trying to take on all the hardship yourself..."

She opens her eyes once the sound of the voice reaches her ears. With her now opened eyes she notices someone was standing in front of her. She slowly looks up and her gaze comes to rest on a blond haired mans clear blue eyes and realizes that its Naruto in front of her. "Naruto-san?"

XxX Narutos POV XxX

Naruto looks down at the young woman wearing the straw hat who's on her knees crying. He hears her quiet voice. "Why? Why didn't I just ask Naruto-san for help when I had the chance?"

"Because you were trying to take on all the hardship yourself..." Naruto says as his gaze is firmly focused on her.

Nami slowly raises her head until she's looking directly into Narutos eyes. "Naruto-san?" She asks in disbelief.

"Ya...It's me Nami-san." Naruto says with a weak smile. He then turns around and crouches down. "It's a good thing that I found you. Because my next stop was Arlong Park and I'm bringing you with me to see that bastard finally fall! So just climb onto my back and we'll be off."

With a small groan of pain Nami crawls onto Narutos back and wraps her arms around his neck. "Just don't try and cop a feel on the way." Nami tells him with a small grin. Naruto just chuckles at her comment. "Don't worry. Cause unlike my master I wouldn't try such a thing." As Naruto tell her this to reassure her he reaches back and grips his hands to each other and places them beneath her. He then stands up and once again races off in the direction of Arlong Park.

XxX

When Arlong Park was in sight the rest of Narutos crew arrive as well as a still annoyed Kankuro. They all take up various positions around Naruto. "So why did you call us all here Naruto-kun?" Lisanna asks as she notices Nami on Narutos back. He takes a moment to glance her way before looking forward again. "That's because...We're gonna take down some bastard called Arlong who's ruined the lives of everyone on this island!" Naruto tells them.

The group eyes him curiously. "So petty much we're going there to raise some hell. That about right Naruto?" Kankuro asks and is quite pleased when Naruto nods. "Heh good. I guess your off the hook this time just as long as I can take out some stress on the enemy." Naruto merely rolls his eyes at this comment as a small grin forms on his face.

As the group nears Arlong park they notice a large hole in the wall where a door used to stand and a pair of wounded human swordsmen standing at the entry keeping the villagers out. The dark haired swordsman wearing glasses looks at Narutos group. "We can't let anyone in there right now. You guys and all the villagers don't stand a chance against Arlong and his crew. But don't worry Luffy-aniki, Zoro-aniki, Sanji-aniki and Usopp-aniki will be able to take care of him." He says before noticing Nami resting on Narutos back, then he notices her wounded shoulder. "Hey Nami-aneki! Are you alright?"

The other guy wearing a green overcoat and red headgear glares at Naruto for a moment as his hand clenches his sword. "Did you hurt her whisker face? Cause if so then so help me I'd-" He starts to say but is quickly interrupted by Nami. "Wait Yosaku-san! Naruto-san didn't do this! In my anger I hurt myself...also you don't stand a chance against him..." Nami states which brings looks of confusion from the pair as well as most of the nearby villagers. Naruto gently lets Nami down and begins to walk forward. "Just where is this Arlong?" Naruto asks as he moves closer to the entrance. A random villager points across Arlong Park to a destroyed wall with a Fishman with a long and jagged nose laying in the rubble.

"Huh? Who's that blond over there with the weird whisker marks on his face?" Asks the smoking blond wearing a suit who was with a group standing in the middle of the fortress points in Narutos direction. His question makes the other three look where he's pointing. "Isn't that Naruto-san?" The green haired swordsman known as Zoro asks as if trying to remember. Then the kid who usually wears the straw hat turns around and notices him. "Hey ya that's that ninja guy who's super fast! Just what are you doing here?" Luffy says before getting excited and asks Naruto another question. "Have you come to join my crew?!"

Naruto sweatdrops at the question as he starts to shake his head. "Uh...no. We came here to kick Arlongs ass. Which is why you're here too right?" He says and Luffys group all nod to show that yes that's why they're all there. Just as Luffy opens his mouth to say something the sound of Arlong laughing catches everyones attention. "Ninjas? You should all know very well that true Shinobi have all died out hundreds of years ago! The only ones that remain are pathetic by comparison." Arlong states as he starts to get up, all the while he continues to chuckle. Once he's standing he then points a webbed finger in Narutos direction. "Real shinobi had the power to control the very elements of nature! They could do some of the most amazing things that shouldn't even be possible such as walk on the waters surface or walk up cliffs. And yet you have the audacity to claim to be one? Hahaha there's no way in hell a pathetic human like you could be one!"

"Hmm... well this is a little trick I learned a few months after I graduated from the Academy back home." Naruto says with a grin on his face as he walks over to one of the canals leading into Arlong Park and keeps walking till he's standing on the waters surface in the middle. He then turns to Arlong with his arms crossed. "Is this the kind of thing you were talking about fishface?" He asks Arlong and the other fishmen who all have their jaws dropped and are looking at him in utter disbelief. The fishmen look to Arlong for guidance as to what is going on and what they should do.

"Well...that's an interesting trick blondie, however that doesn't prove anything!" Arlong says with a weak grin as he tries to figure out just how the kid was doing that.

"Hey Naruto-san! I know where this is going! I had dibs on Arlong so leave him to me!" Luffy yells out to Nartuo but all the while he had stars in his eyes as he had just seen what Naruto had done. The blonde haired shinobi looks towards Luffy and company for a moment as he thinks to himself before he vanishes in a swirl of leaves only to reappear beside luffy with an arm draped over his shoulder. "Well I guess you guys were here first and I think we can all agree that what's most important right now is kicking Arlongs ass. So how about this...I'll let you have the first shot at him. However if for some reason you lose then he's all mine or if any of you are deemed unfit to fight then my comrades get to fight them in your places...sound fair?" Naruto tells him as both Zoro and the other blonde guy take a few steps back in surprise at his sudden reappearance. Luffy raises a hand and cracks his knuckes as he nods in agreement. With a small smile Naruto takes his arm off of Luffy and places both hands in his pockets as he walks back towards the ruined entrance of Arlong Park.

As Naruto walks away he overhears the blonde guy in the suit asking Usopp a question. "Just who the hell is that guy Usopp?" He asks and Usopp responds. "Well Sanji from what I've been told, he's one of the leaders of an entire country known as the Elemental Nations. That girl with the hair buns called TenTen-san over there with him said that he managed to beat someone who had some kind of monstrous power. Also his name is Naruto Uzu-something or other..." Usopp explains and once he finishes Sanji turns around and notices the three lovely women standing close to Naruto. Within that very instant Sanjis one visible eye forms into a heart shape as he looks at the women. "Wow what lovely mademoiselles!"

"Oi you better pay attention cook. Naruto-sans giving us the first shot so you better focus cause from what I've seen, he will be able to get the job done." Zoro mentions to the cook who then proceeds to glare at him. "Ya ya I get it." Sanji says as he turns to look at this fishmen and mutters to himself that he'd prefer to look at the women instead of these ugly fish-faced freaks.

Arlong carefully eyed Naruto who was over by the ruined entrance and at that point he redirects his attention to Luffys group. "I guess I can wring your necks and paper my walls with your hides!" He threatens them as he steps forward. Just as Arlong gets halfway to Luffy a trio of his fishmen crewmates step in between them. "You needn't trouble yourself over lowlifes such as these Arlong. We will be more than enough for the likes of them." Says the fishman with the long hair braid.

With a jagged toothy grin Arlong nods to the trio. "Very well Kuroobi. You Hatchi and Choo can take them on. But why not bring out MoMoo to kick things off?" He tells them.

The octopus fishman known as Hatchi steps forward and moves a hand up to his mouth. Using his mouth like a bugal he makes an assortment of honking sounds. "Arise giant warrior! Come on out MoMoo!" Hatchi calls out after making a racket. Then the waters in the canal start to rise and a large cow-fish creature with a horn on either side of its massive head as well as a nose ring emerges. "Moo" It weakly calls out. Upon closer inspection there was a coil of rope tied around one of its horns as well as a bump on its head.

MoMoo looks around from Arlong towards the villagers but comes to a complete stop when it's gaze drifts over Luffy and company. The sea cow starts to shake and quiver in fear as if it had been traumatized in some way in the past by them.

"Hey it's that cow from before." Luffy remarks.

"Hmmm...seems so. I guess he works for these crap-fish." Says Sanji as he glances at the great beast.

After a few more moments of quivering the sea cow MoMoo turns around and starts to swim away towards to open sea. "Just where do you think your going MoMoo?" Arlong asks the beast with clear malice in his voice. "If you want to run away that's fine but...how far do you think you'll get?" He asks in a quite threatening manner causing the beast to hesitate for a few moments before it turns around to attack Luffy.

"Heh I got this!" Luffy states with a smirk as he raises a leg into the air and proceeds to impale his foot into the concrete and does the same with his other. As Luffy does this both Zoro and Sanji look at him curiously as they're still within a few feet of him. But once Luffy starts to twist and turn his body repeatidly and stops once he felt like it was enough. He then stretches his hands out and grabs the cow by its horns. "This...can't be good..." Zoro slowly says as he starts to back away. Usopp on the other hand has already turned and started running for cover screaming for them to run.

"Gum Gum Windmill!" Luffy screams out as he starts twirling the cow in a circle around him taking out the rest of the fishmen minus Arlong himself and his three officers. Once he lets go, the cow is then sent flying off into the distance and lands with a huge splash. "I didn't come here to mess with the small fry. I came here to kick your ass Arlong!" Luffy says as he points a finger in Arlongs direction.

"HehHeh Well Straw Hat it would seem that you've already lost." Arlong says as he makes his way over to Luffy and easily dodges the few attacks sent his way. "Just how have I lost Shark Face?" Asks Luffy as he continue to try and attack the oncoming Arlong.

"Because you've obviously eaten a Devil Fruit." Arlong informs him as he grabs one of Luffys hands that came at him. He then proceeds to imbed a hand into the concrete and lifts up a large block of it which Luffy is still imbedded in. "And Devil Fruit users can't swim...although in your situation you wouldn't be able to anyways." He says with a grin as he then hurls Luffy into the water canal. Arlong then turns to Naruto. "Like I said...He's already lost!"

Near the entrance Nami covers her mouth in horror as he watches Luffy fly into the air and land in the water. "No...Luffy..."

Arlongs men then take up positions close to the canal to prevent anyone from jumping in to save him much to his crews dismay. Zoro starts to walk over to the octopus fishman, but the entire time he was panting and sweat was dripping off his brow. Just as he starts to get closer to Hatchi a tall women steps in between them. "Oi what's your problem?" Zoro asks her in confusion and then notices a strangely shaped sword on her back.

She turns toward him. "You smell of blood...and by the colour of your face as well as the fact that your gasping for breath indicates...your in no shape to fight." Aurora states as she reaches for her mask and places it over her face. "Now wait just a damn minute... there's no way you could know for sure that I can't fight!" Zoro angerly retorts causing Aurora to sigh a little in frustration before turning around and placing a hand on his shoulder. She then grips his bandage and tears it off without remorse. Zoro actually cringes in pain as blood begins to pour out of his badly treated wound. Many of the people that were close enough to see the wound place a hand over their mouths as they gasp. Even Arlong was surprised that Zoro was actually able to move in that condition. Aurora glares at him through her mask and reaches to her back and grips her sword. "Now step aside...or I'll use my sword and stitch it up here and now!" She threatens.

"NO!" Zoro says once again as he clenches a hand to his wound.

"...Stubborn fool." Aurora says as she shakes her head. She then takes her hand off her sword and makes a couple quick handsigns. "I warned you...now I'll have to waste chakra...hope your happy."

Zoro tilts his head in confusion as he watches her go through a couple different handsigns. "Water Style: Multi Water Whip Jutsu!"

Suddenly several thin water tentacles spring out of the water and wrap themselves around Zoros arms and legs, effectively immobilized him. As the water tentacles raise out of the water everyone including the fishmen move away from the water in fear. Once Zoro was unable to move Aurora then replaces a hand on her sword and removes it from her back. She suddenly disappears and reappears behind Zoro. He looks around in confusion wondering what she did because he didn't feel any different. "Was that all?" He says with a cocky grin but his expression soon changes as she gives her right arm a quick twist and Zoros wound was quickly forced together and caused Zoro to loudly groan out in pain. Aurora then flashes another quick handsign and the water tentacles dissipate causing Zoro to fall over and was barely able to catch himself in time.

As everyone else was focused on what the swordswoman just did, both Nojiko and Genzo sneak off to the far end of the canal and lower themselves into the water so they may try and save Luffy.

XxX Aurora VS Hatchi XxX

Aurora turns towards Hatchi and points her sword in his direction. "Now you're next." She informs the worried octopus. Hatchi takes a couple steps towards the sole building in Arlong Park. "J-Just g-give me a m-minute...I just need to grab my swords..." He manages to say as Aurora gives him a small nod allowing him to leave for a moment.

Just as Hatchi reaches the building one of the villagers calls out. "Hey what are you waiting for? Just take him down already!"

The mist shinobi turns to glare at the villager causing them to shut up. "No...I won't attack a defenceless opponent." She says as she turns back to the relieved Hatchi. "Besides...I prefer to tear them apart when they can defend themselves. I especially love watching the fear in their eyes once they realize they can't measure up and are going to die!" She sadistically adds causing a couple weak-hearted villagers to faint and fall over.

After a minute or so Hatchi finally exits the building and wields six swords. Hatchi moves out into the open and takes a stance as he prepares to defend himself. Aurora grips her sword and hurls it at Hatchi, much to his surprise.

As Hatchi watches the sword fly his way he thinks to himself that since it's the only weapon she has on herself then she will be defenceless as long as he can dodge her attack. He smugly takes a step to the side. "Heh heh looks like you mis-" He begins to say before Aurora once again makes an unusual motion with her right hand and it somehow caused the sword to change direction in midair and managed to pierce straight through the right side of Hatchis chest, causing him to cough up some blood. "B-But how?" He asks.

Aurora appears behind him with her sword in hand. "This blade is called the Nuibari. Its capable of piercing all and stitching them together so it's quite easy to do something as simple as change it's direction. Now I'd love to show you more...but I think some of my crewmates might be disturbed by it...so they won't be able to see...and neither will you." She says as she raises one hand above her head and leaves the other at chest level.

"Hidden Mist Jutsu!" She quietly calls out and a thick and heavy mist begins to descend on the grounds causing everyone to be unable to see anything at all.

From Narutos spot he just thinks to himself. 'I kinda figured she would be capable of using this move since she came from Kirigakure. So I assume she is fluent in the silent killing technique as well.' He then leans over towards Lisanna who was fidgiting. He gently places a hand on her shoulder causing her to jump a little in surprise. "Calm down. You're gonna be fine so don't worry. Besides I'm here." He tells her in an attempt to reassure and calm her down. Lisanna slowly nods and tries her best.

A loud scream echos across the vicinity as they realize that someone just got badly hurt. Not long after the scream rang out does the mist soon begin to dissipate showing Hatchi laying on his back with his hands actually stitched to various points on his body. His upper arms were stitched to either shoulder, his middle arms were actually stitched to his crotch which was obviously very painful for him, and his lower arms were attached to either side of his face. "I left you alive this time fishman...but only so that you may live with the fear that I could do this to you again at anytime of my pleasing..." Aurora says as she gently strokes the side of his head. "Yes...yes that's the look I was going for..." She further states as she looks into his terror-filled eyes.

She then walks back over to Naruto and once she arrives at his side she removes the mask to show a creepy grin. Naruto turns to her. "Let me guess...Your a sadist aren't you?" He asks with a small sigh. She smiles at him for a moment. "Only in the heat of battle Naruto-sama!"

Naruto nods and looks at the remaining fishmen as he sweatdrops. 'Dear kami! Somehow I got the mist villages version of Anko!' He thinks to himself as Aurora licks the blood off her sword.

Somewhere back in the Elemental Nations a shinobi of Konohagakure sneezes. As she reaches up to wipe her nose she thinks to herself. 'Hmm someone hot must be talking about me.'

XxX Kankuro VS Choo XxX

The hooded shinobi looks at the state of the octopus fishman and smiles to himself wondering just how he will beat his opponent, and who his opponent will be. One of the other fishmen with the long mouth steps forward and looks at the two remaining human pirates. Usopp looks from the fishmen to Sanji and himself wondering just what they're going to do. He figures that if push comes to shove he could quite possibly manage to beat this fishman, but he knows that he doesn't stand a chance against either Arlong or the other one who was wearing a karate uniform. But then he realizes that there are other powerful people not too far away that could beat them! Usopp turns around as his knees shake. "So um..Naruto-san? Is there anyone of you guys that want a piece of the fishmen? Because I don't have a problem with sharing."

Kankuro rolls his eyes for a moment as he realizes just how cowardly the long nosed guy is. With a quick sigh he starts walking towards them. "Alright then long nose. I guess I can take him for ya."

"Hey Kankuro! Just a heads up but this guy seems able to shoot a weaker version of the water bullet technique!" Naruto calls out to inform him. Causing the fishman to wonder just how he knew that. Choo was trying to figure out how the blond kid knew as he was gently rubbing his temple but he wasn't able to clear his head of the massive headache that was brought on earlier that day. After a few short moments he then realized why the kid knew. He points a finger in Narutos direction. "Hey were you the one who sucker punched me into the whirlpool earlier today?!" He asks and was replied with a cocky grin. "Oh that's it! I'm going to kill you right now.!" Choo says as he starts walking over to Naruto but for some reason he came to a stop more than halfway and was forced to his knees. "W-What the hell?"

A chuckle catches the fishmans attention and he turns to the hooded guy whom was the source of the laughter. "You know you really shouldn't turn your back on an opponent. Especially a shinobi!" Kankuro tells him as he continues to chuckle lightly. Choo glares at him. Suddenly Choo starts punching himself in the face. "Stop punching yourself. Stop punching yourself. Stop punching yourself. And I give a brief pause...Stop punching yourself." Kankuro says as his fingers kept moving and Choo continues striking himself in the face for a couple minutes. "Just who...or what...the hell...are you?" Choo asks in between strikes.

"Heh I'm a puppet master. And by that logic...your the dummy in this puppet show." Kankuro says as he smiles at the fishman whom he's making a fool of. With every individual strike Choo gets madder and madder until he fires a water shot at Kankuro.

"Lip-O-Blaster!" Choo says as he fires a small water bullet in Kankuros direction, but he easily sidesteps the shot. Kankuro then chooses to sever his invisible chakra strings to allow the fishman to move. Once Choo realizes that he can move freely he then races to the canal and takes a big drink of the water. He quickly turns toward the wall where Kankuro was standing.

"Lip-O-Cannon!" The fishman calls out as a large glob of water was shot out and strikes Kankuros body and takes out a fair portion of the wall. "Ha take that you damned human!" Choo happily states as he thrusts his arms into the air to signify his victory.

"Well you seem happy."

Choo freezes and slowly turns toward the the deck on the second level of their fortress to see a complely uninjured Kankuro leaning against the railing and looking at him with a smug look on his face. "You! But I just shot you so how the hell are you fine?!" Choo asks as he points a shakey finger in Kankuros direction. "Well you shot AT me but you sure didn't hit me. Now why don't you try that again and we'll see what happens this time around." Kankuro says as he sits on the railing facing in Choos direction.

The fishmans face turn red in anger as he goes to prepare for another shot. But just as he prepares to fire he suddenly finds that we can't move his body again, and to make matters worse his head was slowly moving forward in a downwards motion and comes to rest just in front of his crotch. Needless to say that once Choos face was positioned in that particular spot his eyes grew wide and you could practically see the terror forming in his eyes. "Well that was stupid of you. I can't believe you actually let your enemy tell you what to do...oh well I guess we can play a little game. The game is to see how long you can hold your load. Before you end up blowing your own balls off!" Kankuro tells him with a smile on his face as he can just imagine what the fish is thinking and feeling right now.

Much to everyones surprise Choo actually manages to hold onto the water for several minutes before he ends up literally blasting his balls off and he crys out with obvious pain. Kankuro then releases him yet again and allows him to cover up the gaping hole where his crotch used to reside. As he keeps an eye on the fishman he takes out two scrolls and summons up his Black Ant and Crow puppets. "Well I've had enough fun for the time being so I think that I'll finish you off now." With a quick flick of his wrist the two puppets fly towards the helpless fishman. The Black Ant puppet picks him up and places him within itself and promptly closes it's door to prevent Choo from escaping. Kankuro turns to the villagers briefly. "Those of you who have a weak heart I advise you to look away cause this WILL get quite messy." He tells them before turning back to him prisoner inside the Black Ant. The puppet Crow suddenly comes apart and from practically every floating part of it long blades slide out.

Naruto takes the opportunity to cover both Nami and Lisannas eyes to shield them from what's about to happen.

"Black Secret Technique!: Art of the Iron Maiden Version I!"

All the floating blades quickly fly downwards and pierce into the other puppet, all anyone can hear is a faint cry of pain before utter silence fills the air. The thing that catches everyones attention is the large amount of blood that began to pour out of the puppet.

Back on the sidelines Usopp then faints at what he had just witnessed and a couple of the nearby villagers brought up their hands to cover their noses as a stranger odour starts wafting towards them.

XxX Sanji VS Kuroobi XxX

"...Well I guess that counts as another win for that group..." Sanji states as he looks towards Arlong and the only other remaining fishman. "I guess that means that we're up now you crap-fish." Sanji says as he takes his cigarette out of his mouth and points it at Kuroobi. But just as he prepares to rush out and attack, a hand is gently placed on his shoulder. He turns his head and his eye instantly lights up as he notices a dark haired beauty. "Ah yes what can I do for you kitten?" Sanji asks her with a heart in his eye and doesn't notice the momentary look of surprise and confusion that crosses Lisannas face.

"Umm...well Sanji-san. I was wondering if you could let me have a go at him first?" She asks as she looks up into his eyes causing him to stumble back a little.

"I..uh...Well I really shouldn't. I-I mean I wouldn't want you to get hurt." Sanji stutters as he try to convince her otherwise. Lisanna then takes a deep breath and moves a bit closer to him. She raises a hand into the air and runs her fingers through Sanjis hair for a moment before going up to her tiptoes and whispers in his ear. "Won't you please do this for me...Sanji-san? It would mean ever so much to me." She tells Sanji causing his ears to noticeably whistle as air escapes, and his cigarette drops to the ground as his jaw drops. He responds with a nod as he slowly walks back over to the entrance. As he leaves Lisanna shivers a little before turning towards the fishman Kuroobi.

XxX Lisanna VS Kuroobi XxX

The fishman crosses his arms as he looks at the young woman standing before him. "Do you honestly think you stand a chance against me little girl?"

"Oh I'm sure I can handle myself. The real question is...can you handle me?" Lisanna taunts as she turns her body to the side, spaces her feet out and raises a hand out in front of her and the other hand is postioned close to her chest.

Kuroobi looks at her in surprise. "That's a martial arts stance...but I don't recognize the school..."

She grins a little. "Because it's my own personal style of mixed martial arts!" Lisanna tells him.

"Heh this should be fun." He states before he rushes over towards Lisanna. He thrusts a fist forward and just as the strike is about to land she slightly adjusts her stance in such a way that his fist just barely misses her and positions herself directly in front of him. With a quick and fluid motion she grabs his arm as she turns around and uses his own momentum to fling him over her shoulder and into the ground head first.

There was a loud crashing sound as Kuroobis head makes contact with the concrete. Lisanna leans forward a bit. "So...am I an easy enough opponent?" She asks him as a grin crosses her face.

Much to her surprise Kuroobi manages to get up and without wasting a moment he grabs her by her shoulders and lifts her into the air. "Ya you are actually!" He says.

Lisanna then strikes him in on the underside of his chin with the palm of her right hand causing him to flinch a little. "Ha ha did you really think that would hurt me? From this position you can't use nearly enough force for that kinda strike to work." Kuroobi taunts her but is surprised when she just smiles at him. "I know...that's why this is a two part strike." Lisanna tells him.

"Ma Style Takusousho!" She then moves her other hand just below her elbow which was out of the fishmans sight. With a quick motion she pushes her hand into her elbow sending a fair amount of force directly into Kuroobis chin causing him to be sent flying upwards a short ways. Lisanna then gently brushes a couple strands of her hair that was hanging down in front of her face so it was now behind her ear.

Well I guess I should get a little serious now. She then changes into her cat-girl form which surprises everyone except for Naruto and his group. She waits for Kuroobi to stand up and once he does, she then races forward. As she nears him she raises a leg and steps on Kuroobis kneecap and kicks upward with her other foot. But she doesn't stop there, she then continues by thrusting her tail out to wrap around his exposed neck to swing the two of them around in midair so that he was once again facing the ground.

Lisanna now positions both of her feet so they're resting on the underside of his chin as she wraps her arms around his legs. "Neko Style Piledriver!" Once his head makes contact she immedietly leaps backwards and lands on her hands and feet.

Naruto watches the fight with apparent interest especially since the move she used looked very similar to one that he's seen before. 'Wow I totally didn't see that coming! I know she can rework that technique to make it far better...Also just why the hell would she ask me to train her if she's already this good?' He thinks to himself.

Kuroobi slowly gets up as his hand is gently resting against the side of his head in a vain attempt to halt the throbbing. "Ugh...what the hell was that?"

He then looks around and notices that Lisannas form has changed as she stands there with her hands behind her back. "What the hell? Attacks from someone as small as you shouldn't be able to do nearly this much damage." Kuroobi asks as he glares at the cat-girl who was smiling at him. "True. I'm not physically strong. However...It doesn't matter how strong you are...if you can't hit your enemy!" She informs him before once again racing forward.

This time as Lisanna nears him she leans back so she just slides right between his feet, and just as she slides past him she raises her legs into the air and pushes off with her arms and leaps into the air directly behind him. And kicks him in the back of the head making him fall over.

She doesn't waste the oppertunity and takes his ponytail and uses it to hogtie him. And once she finishes, she sits on his back and looks down at him struggling. "I guess I was too strong for a big tough guy like you to handle huh?" She mentions to him with a smug look on her face. Lisanna then gets up and heads back over to the entrance to allow Naruto to take the stage and show Arlong who's boss.

XxX Naruto VS Arlong XxX

"Well I guess it's finally my turn. Isn't that right Arlong?" Naruto says with a cheerful smile as all of Arlongs best officers had been bested and beaten to bloody pulps. Arlong looks on at Naruto with a furious glare but he does his best to restrain himself since from what he's witnessed from the previous battles, those from the Elemental Nations are no joke and that their strength was very real! "Well I admit that compared to the usual pathetic humans...your group is certainly in a class of your own... but lets see how you deal with real monsters! He then walks over to a nearby gong and lifts it up bringing a look of curiousity from Naruto. Arlong grins as he walks it over to the waters edge and places it halfway in before striking it hard enough to cause the water itself to churn.

Within moments a large column of water shoots into the air a short distance into the ocean from Arlong Park and a gigantic crablike creature rears out of the water and raises a massive jagged claw into the air menacingly. "Well...what do you think about this Uzumaki? This is Cisn! Also known also known as Citizen Snips among my crew. His ferocious claw has split many a ship in two with a single motion." Arlong tells him with a wicked grin plastered over his face, but his smug look is just dropped as he notices Narutos reaction. Once Naruto had seen the giant crab he just turned to his cat-girl crewmate Lisanna and actually asked if she wanted to have the crab for supper since she apparently loved seafood much to Arlongs fury.

"AGH CITIZEN SNIPS! KILL THESE DAMN HUMANS!" Arlong furiously orders the giant crustacean who starts to make its way towards the group but just as it's at the halfway point, it was suddenly dragged underwater. Everyone looks at the ocean in confusion as they were all wondering what happened to the crab but it was then flung out of the water and sent flying into the nearby forest causing the villagers to scream out in fear as it landed not too far from them. The very question that was on everyones minds was. 'Just what the hell happened?' But their question was soon answered as another gigantic sea creature surfaced within the canal in Arlong Park. However this one had a very odd shape. It had eight tentacles, a human-like upper-body but with the head of an ox with one partially missing horn.

All the villagers, Luffys crew as well as Arlong himself were all wide-eyed with their jaws dropped as they see the monstrosity in front of them. Some of the villagers screamed out stuff like. "What the hell is that thing." as well as "Is than another beast from the Grand Line?" Narutos group minus Lisanna were surprised as well, however instead of freaking out like everyone else they instead all did a synchronized face-palm at the sight of the creature before them. Kankuro was the first of them to say anything. "You have got to be fucking kidding me." He says as he begins to shake his head. "No, Anyone...Anything but him. Just what the hell is Killer Bee doing all the way out here?" TenTen says to herself but is overheard by Usopp.

"Huh? W-What do you mean by K-Killer B-B-Bee? In case you haven't noticed...THAT THING is not a BEE! It some kinda monster that has to be from the Grand Line!" Usopp esthetically says as he shivers in fear and doesn't even notice that the creature seemed to have a large cement block in its hand that contained Luffys unconscious body as well as Nojiko who had dived down to try and save him. She was suffice to say absolutely terrified to be so close to the beast.

Other than the screams of terror from the villagers as well as the two in the beasts hand, the only other sound was the laughter coming from Naruto. Sanji looks over at his fellow blond and proceeds to yell at him. "What the hell is wrong with you? That creature is about to eat Namis lovely sister and all you can do is LAUGH?"

A big grin forms on Narutos face as he jumps onto the creatures outstreached hand. Once he lands Nojiko takes the opportunity to crawl over and attempt to hide behind Naruto. "Yo it's been a long time Bee! Am I right to assume you've come to join us? And whatever your answer you better not make a fuss." Naruto happily says as he looks up into the beasts large eyes. Just about everyone else sweatdrops at Narutos comment as well as the fact that he seems to be acquainted with the creature. But what really surprises them is that the beast begins to talk right back at him. "I can see you've been working on yo rhymes. And without bustin any lines! You seem to be doing well from as far as I can see. That be da truth from the one and only Killa Bee. AH YA!" Bee says to Naruto as he raises his other arm and forms a fist which Naruto does the same. They then pound fists in greeting before looking at their audience who are staring at them in complete silence.

"What?"

"What?"

After a few more moments of silence Naruto finally realizes what's the matter. "Um...I think you should probably head to the ship for now and drop your stuff off." Naruto quietly tells him before he turns to Aurora. "Hey Aurora-san do you mind taking Bee back to the ship? Especially before the other villagers freak out anymore." He asks and Aurora looks at Bee for a moment before turning around and heads in the direction of their ship to show Bee the way.

Killer Bee then gently sets down Nojiko and Luffy before he follows Aurora by taking the sea route and once he's gone Naruto looks back at Arlong. "Well I guess we should get started don't you think shark-face?"

Arlong cracks his knuckles before moving towards the canal and dips his hand into the water and then turns towards Naruto. "Heh I agree Uzumaki however all I require to kill a human such as you is just this." Arlong says as he pulls his arm back and then flings the water in Narutos direction. "Water Shot!"

The water shoot towards Naruto at a speed far faster than Choos water gun could ever hoped to reach. It only takes a moment for the water to strike Naruto but suddenly Narutos body disappears in a puff of smoke and a splintered log was in his place. Arlong turns his head from side to side as he tries to find Naruto. But hiding in his blind spot was Naruto whom was crouching on the ground with a blueish-white sphere in his hand. "Leaf Style Secret Technique: One Thousand Years of Death Rasangan Style!" With one quick motion Naruto thrusts the sphere into Arlongs ass who was then sent flying into the fortress in a spinning motion.

Naruto lets out a loud laugh as he could just imagine the look on Arlongs face as the rasangan struck him in that particular vulnerable area. But Naruto doesn't laugh for too long and creates about thirty clones, and moments after the clones appear does a large section of the fortress come crashing down with Arlong in the centre of the hole and he's wielding a long and jagged sword.

"It's Arlongs Shark Saw! Be careful Naruto-san!" Nami calls out from the sidelines. Arlong looks at the group of clones curiously before leaping down in the the centre of the group to show he doesn't fear Naruto. A nearby clone rushes at him only to be instantly cut down by the sword and then the clone disappears in a puff of smoke. "Is this a joke Uzumaki? Do you actually think that these weak things stand a chance against me?" Arlong says as he rushes into the group and cuts down two more nearby clones, but much to his surprise these clones didn't disappear in a puff of smoke...no, once they were killed they turned into a liquid and the splatter covered Arlong. The fishman looks at his drenched arm in confusion before bringing it up and notices that it doesn't smell of water. Suddenly Arlong gets a sudden chill running down his spine so he quickly turns and strikes another clone that had sneaked up on him then once he makes contact the clone explodes and to makes matters worse for Arlong the explosion also sets the oil that covered his body on fire!

Arlong lets out a roar of pain as he rolls around on the ground in a vain attempt to extinguish the flames covering his body. Arlongs eyes change into slits as he glares at the shinobi who was riled him up so much. "What the fuck Uzumaki! Are you only capable of using cheap tricks like these? Are you really that scared to go all out against me and fight seriously?" Arlong yells at Naruto in an attempt to provoke him.

Both Kankuro and TenTens eyes go wide as they hear Arlong provoking Naruto. "You have gotta be shitting me..." Kankuro states at he looks on in disbelief. TenTen then takes the opportunity to rush over to the villagers. "Ok you all have to go...as in RIGHT NOW! You have no idea what's about to go down!" TenTen quickly tells the confused villagers whom only leave because they see her worried expression. Both her and Kankuro do their best to shepherd the villagers back home as fast as possiable.

"So...you really want me to go all out then Arlong?" Naruto asks with a smirk on his face as he cracks his knuckles. "Heh well...if you think you can handle it then..."


Now some of you are probably wondering why I'm having Narutos crew do the fighting this time around. The reason is because I wanted to showcase their different skills and abilities. However after this arc is done so will be the interaction between Naruto and Luffys future enemies unless he comes across them at another point in time.
