Threat on the Restaurant
Zeff ordered Choji to his office.
"Choji I think it's time you find a way for you to back to your home town," Zeff responded.
"What?" Choji asked.
"You have worked here for years, and you do a good job except for the fact you get upset every time someone calls you fatso," Zeff responded, "By doing so you already repay me back for what happened years ago, and then some."
"Zeff," Choji responded.
"I'll give you at the most 6 months to think of a way to leave this restaurant," Zeff responded, "That should be enough for you."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Choji responded.
…
Naruto started working when he noticed Choji was upset about something.
"What's wrong Choji?" Naruto asked.
"I got permission to leave this restaurant," Choji responded.
"Hey that's great, now you can inform your family that you're okay," Naruto responded.
"It's not that simple, my friends and family lives in an island of the Grand Line," Choji responded.
"Hey that's great, my crew is going to the grand line," Naruto responded, "You can come with us, and cook for us until we get there."
"Thanks," Choji responded.
…
On a huge ship that look as if it went through a battle, and a pirate flag with hour glasses next to the skull, Gin countered the captain of the ship and told them about the restaurant.
The captain decided to give the restaurant a visit.
…Next Day…
Naruto and his clones worked hard.
"That's Don Krieg's Pirate Ship!" someone shouted.
"Huh?" Naruto responded turning to see some passengers looking out the window.
"The Sand glasses with a skull, that's the symbol of Krieg!" a customer responded.
"What is he doing here?" another shouted.
Even the chefs panicked in side.
Naruto look out and saw the huge ship.
…On the Shinobi Pirate Ship…
Haku Sakura Sasuke Kiba Akamaru Juugo and Suigetsu saw the ship.
"This is not good," Haku responded.
"We better get ready for a battle," Sasuke responded.
"We're right behind you guys," Suigetsu responded.
"Great," Juugo responded.
…Restaurant…
"That's a huge ship," Naruto responded, "And it looks like it's been through some battle."
"That might be a bad thing," Choji responded.
A large man wearing golden worn down armor under regular clothes and bandages, being held up by Gin.
"Excuse us! Could you give me some food and water? The money is not a problem," the man responded
"Hey isn't that Gin?" Naruto asked.
"It is, so that man he's helping up must be his captain," Choji responded.
"He looks hungry," Naruto responded.
The man collapsed into the ground.
"Captain Krieg!" Gin shouted, "Someone help him or he'll die."
"Should we do something?" Naruto asked.
"It's the right thing to do…but…" Choji responded.
"Hahaha! This is imposible," Pati laughed, "Is this really Don Krieg, the scariest pirate of the east blue?"
"We have money, so we are your customers!" Gin shouted.
"Contact the Marines now. There won't be a chance like this again," Pati ordered, "I won't give him any food, and I'll turn him in to the marines."
The crowd and the chefs agreed with this.
"If you give me some food, I will peacefully leave. I promise," Don Krieg responded bowing, "So Please help me."
"Please stop it Captain Krieg. A great man like you shouldn't bow you head for something like this. Please that's really shameful!" Gin shouted.
"Please," Krieg responded.
Choji punched Pati out of the way and took a plate of rice to Krieg.
"Here," Choji responded.
"Choji," Gin responded.
Krieg ate the food happily.
"Choji are you crazy, that man is the trickiest Pirate of the East Blue! He use to be a prisoner, then a marine. Then he killed a leader of a ship and took it becoming a pirate. He became infamous by tricking his enemies into letting their guard down," a chef shouted, "You should of let that man die!"
Krieg came up and hit Choji, sending him to the ground.
"What's the meaning of this? I took you here because you promised me that you wouldn't hurt anyone here! Besides that man is the person who saved my life!" Gin shouted until Krieg grabbed him.
"This feeling is really great! It's a very good restaurant, so I will take it.
Every customer left the restaurant onto their boats.
…
Sasuke and Haku saw them leaving.
"We better go see if Naruto needs our help," Sasuke responded.
"Right behind you," Haku responded.
"Akamaru and I are going even if they won't allow us," Kiba responded as Akamaru barked.
…in the restaurant…
"Our ship is worn out, so I want a new ship. After we're done with you, you'd better get the hell out of here," Krieg threatened, "There are 100 men on my ship that are starving and injured. So prepared food for a hundred men and be quick about it!"
"I refuse to!" a chef shouted.
"Refuse? It seems that you're misunderstanding. I did not ask you to serve my crew. I ordered you to do it, and whoever dares to refuse must die!" Krieg shouted.
"Choji, I'm sorry. I never thought that it would turn out this way!" Gin shouted.
"Pati prepare for battle," Choji responded.
"Right behind you!" Pati shouted taking out a gun and fired a cannon.
It hit Krieg in an explosion.
Krieg came back in wearing armor.
"He's wearing iron armor!" Naruto shouted.
The chefs went to attack but guns came out from under Krieg's armor and fired bullets at the crews.
"Don't try to go up against me! I am the strongest man!" Krieg shouted, "Now serve me before I kill you!"
Zeff came out with a huge bag of food.
"You want food for a 100 people right? Take this to your crew!" Zeff responded.
"You're Zeff?" Krieg responded.
"Sir don't do this! They'll take our ship!" the chefs shouted.
"That depends on their spirits," Zeff responded, "After all you're fugitives of the grandline."
"Fugitives!" the chefs responded.
"Grand Line?" Naruto asked.
"You're Zeff, the red leg!" Krieg responded, "The famous pirate who was both captain and chef of his ship!"
"So what if I was, I'm now head chef of this restaurant," Zeff responded.
"You're not the same red leg I used to know. When people talk about Zeff, they think of the man who has very powerful kick and everytime he fought, he's never used his hands. Your one kick could destroy a whole cliff. Even if you kicked iron, you would leave your foot mark," Krieg responded, "Although you did not die in an accident as I've heard. You have lost one leg, which means that you don't have any more power."
"What's the point of mentioning these things?" Zeff asked.
"You've been to the Grand Line and returned back safely, right? During that time, you must have written a journal. I want to have that journal from you."
"Wow, you've been to the Grand Line?" Naruto asked.
"Well! I have a journal, but I won't give it to you," Zeff responded, "That journal is the pride of my crew and myself while we were traveling together. It is too much if I have to give it to you."
"So I have to use my strength and take it from you. So be it! I maybe a fugitive of the Grand Line, but I'm still Don Krieg, the strongest man of the east blue," Krieg responded, "I can get through the Grand Line again if I have enough men and power. I've never been afraid of that place like the other wimps. I was only lost because I don't have enough information, that's why I need that journal. After that I'll go back to the Grand Line and go after the ultimate treasure, One Piece, in order to become the greatest p irate of all."
"Wait a minute! I'm the one who will find One Piece, not you!" Naruto shouted.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Krieg asked.
"I'm serious, and when I do find One Piece I'll become the Greatest Kage of all and the first one to be also a Pirate Captain!" Naruto responded.
"Kid you can't be serious, not even Don Krieg could do that!" a chef shouted.
"I don't care, I made a promise on this headband that I'll do it," Naruto responded, "And I'll do it with the crew I gathered."
"I guess that's where we come in," someone said.
They turned to see Sasuke Haku Kiba Akamaru Suigetsu and Juugo.
"Just give us the word," Sasuke responded.
"Thanks guys, but I can handle this," Naruto responded, "After all, I have a new technique I been dying to use."
Krieg burst out laughing.
"Those are your crew, you're a bunch of kids!" Krieg laughed.
"I know someone who might join my crew, plus there's still my Navigator!" Naruto responded thinking, "Who might be taking advantage of your weak and starving crew by stealing your treasure."
"Stop fooling around kid! Because I lacked information my 5000 men were destroyed in 7 days on that evil sea! Krieg shouted.
Everyone was shocked hearing that.
"I am not kidding, and if anyone doesn't believe me I'll kill them," Krieg said and took the bag of food, "Listen, I will give everyone a chance. Think it over while I am taking this food back to my crew. I'll be back. If you don't want to die, just go while my crew is eating. My goal is just a journal and this ship. If you want to die, I'll help you, even though that will cost me some time."
Krieg took his food and left.
The chefs started blaming on Choji for their trouble.
"Shut up you idiots! Have you ever been through a situation where you had no food to eat or water to drink? Have you ever known the suffering of being without food or drink in the middle of the sea?" Zeff asked.
Choji sighed knowing what Zeff meant.
"What do you mean?" Pati asked.
"I don't have time to talk about the past. If you want to, get out of here through the back door," Zeff responded.
"We're staying here!" the chefs responded.
"You've already seen how strong captain Krieg is. You'd better get out of here!" Gin shouted.
"No Gin, it's our duty to protect this restaurant," Choji responded.
"Besides I'll fight him," Naruto responded and headed off.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked.
"I got a technique to master," Naruto responded.
"Naruto I don't think you can master that technique before Krieg get's back," Haku responded.
"The Rasengan right?" Zeff asked.
"Huh?" the chefs responded.
"Yeah," Naruto responded.
"Yes, I should have known, it was one of two of the 4th Hokage's legendary moves," Zeff responded.
"You knew the 4th Hokage?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, I countered him once before," Zeff responded, "If you want to master the Rasengan, I suggest you find a way to create a thin layer of chakra to compact the rotation of it."
"Gin what happened in the Grand Line?" Choji asked.
"A man, one single man, with great power in his eyes, destroyed most of our ships without trying," Gin responded, "I can't forget those eyes that look as if it's ripples."
"Ripples, then it can't be Itachi and his Sharingan," Sasuke thought, "Could it be the most powerful visual technique."
"It must be him, the 'Grand Line's Pein'," Zeff responded, "Also known as Pein."
"Pein?" Naruto asked.
"It's a nickname, but few knew his real name," Zeff responded, "He's young, but he's powerful. They say he has the power of the Rinnegan, and ate the devil's fruit 'Force-Force Fruit'."
"Rinnegan and the Force-Force Fruit, could it be him?" Naruto thought.
"I grew up on an island of the grand Line, and I heard even crazier things happened to those who comes to it barely prepared," Choji responded, "Truth is, it takes more than a journal to know your way around it."
"Choji is right, it takes proper instruments. You can have the biggest crew in the world, but without the right instruments and gear you'll just get yourself in the same situation," Zeff responded.
...Shinobi Crew Ship…
Sakura was preparing to leave with the Going Merry when she saw a small boat with passengers
One was a man that look like an older version of Sasuke, except his hair was long, as he wear a black jacket with the Uchiha crest, black pants.
The other one really got Sakura's attention though.
He was about the same age as the first one, except he had grey-blue skin wearing a black cloak under grey shirt, black pants and gill like slits on his cheeks.
"What are you doing here," Sakura thought, "If he's here, I got to get out of here."
…Krieg's Ship…
The one hundred men ate and took a breath of relief for having food.
Krieg planned his men to take the restaurant ship.
"Ultimate Water Technique: Water Kracken Tentacle Smash!" someone shotued
However Water formed tentacle and smashed Krieg's Ship into halves.
A/N: Surprise Cliff Hanger. And I got to use the ULTIMATE WATER TECHNIQUE!
