Hey guys. Here is the new chapter and thank Rico94 for doing it. Hope you like it.


Chapter 21: The Varia Returns! Franky vs. Xx!

A loud noise was heard inside the cave, it was Naruto and Natsu's stomachs. "Man, I'm starving." Naruto complained.

"Yeah, me too." Nastu said as the two glared at Luffy. "That's because he ate all of the food."

Luffy looked them confused and said, "Why are looking at me like that?"

"You ate up all of the food." Naruto said.

"Nami ate some too." Luffy tried to defend himself.

"Yeah but her stomach isn't a bottomless pit like yours." Natsu said.

"But, I was hungry."

"WHO CARES?!" Natsu and Naruto yelled. "YOU STILL SHOULD'VE SAVED SOME FOR US!"

The others, expect for Zoro and Sasuke, looked at the three like they were crazy. "What are they complaining about this time?" Neji asked.

"Same thing they've been complaining about for the past hour." Sanji said. "Luffy eating up all of the food."

"Yeah, it's hard enough dealing with one Luffy." Usopp said. "We don't need two more."

"Can't they talk about everything other than what Luffy did?" Lucy asked. "It's giving me a headache."

"You're not the only one." Gray said.

Sakura walked towards the trio and hit all three of them on the top of their heads. "Are you done bickering about the food?!" she shouted and the three nodded yes. She turned around and walked back to the others.

"Was that really necessary?" Ichigo asked.

"It got them to shut up, didn't it?" Gajeel said and Ichigo nodded in agreement.

"Anyways, we start moving." Sai said.

"He's right." Erza said. "If we stay here any longer, we're likely to get attacked again. And by the looks of it, this place can't take another battle." Everyone looked at the area they were in and saw that Erza was right. The cave was badly damaged from Renji's and Nami's fights.

"I see your point, maybe we should move somewhere else." Tsuna said. "But the blizzard is going on."

"In that case, we're stuck until it ends." Shino said.

"It shouldn't be long." Nami said. "The storm is going to pass this island in 15 minutes."

"It's enough time for us get ready to move out." Enma said. Then a tree popped out of the ground and rolled out a seed. The seed exploded and revealed a man with spiky hair and a varia jacket on his shoulders.

"What the…Xanxus?" Tsuna said, recognizing the person.

"You know him?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah, he's the Varia leader, Xanxus." Mukuro said.

"A leader, huh?" Renji said. "Well, that explains the jacket."

Xaxus looked at the Vongola and said in disgust, "It's you again." Then he looks at the others. "And I see, you have found yourselves some comrades. But it doesn't really matter, you all will die here."

"Is that so?" Franky said. "You wanna prove that?"

"Are you challenging me?"

"What does it like I'm doing?" Xanxus narrowed his eyes at Franky.

"You sure you want to fight this guy?" Tsuna asked the pirate cyborg.

"Don't worry about me." Franky said. "I got this."

"Don't get too cocky." Xanxus said. "I'll make sure you'll learn your place."

"Bring it then!" Franky said. "Weapons Left!" Franky unleashed a series of explosive pellets at Xanxus, who dodges it easily making the explosive destroy a part of the cave.

"Is that all you got?" Xanxus said, drawing his X-guns.

"SUPER hardly, now take this! Strong Right!" Franky fires his right hand in high speeds at Xanxus and hit him in the gut, making him skid back a few feet.

"So that's Franky's power, huh?" Kiba said.

"His attack is different than last time." Wendy said.

"You're correct." Uryu said. "It's faster than it was seventeen months ago."

"Damn!" Xanxus cursed. "Scoppio d'Ira!" Xanxus fired a barrage of his Dying Will Flame at Franky.

"Franky Fireball!" Franky blew a fireball toward the bullets but the bullets weren't affected and got hit by him.

"What's with those bullets?" Ichigo asked.

"They're not ordinary bullets." Hibari said. "They're made for Dying Will flame."

Franky grunted in pain but shook it off and saw one of the X-guns flying around him. "What the…" he said.

"Bocciolo di Flamma!" Xanxus used his other gun and fired at the pirate.

"Weapons Left!"Franky fired some pellets at the bullets and they cancelled each other out. But another set of bullets were fired from another angle and nearly missed Franky's feet. "What the…" Another set of bullets were fired and hit him in his back. Franky turned around and saw nothing then turned towards Xanxus, who has both X-Guns in his hands.

"Farwell, Colpo d'Addido!" Xanxus hits Franky with a blast of his X-guns in close range, pushing him back through a wall.

"Franky!" Luffy shouted.

"Franky Cannon!" A cannon ball was fired and hit Xanxus, sending him into a wall. Franky stood up, a little burned but almost unharmed. "Is that all you got?"

"So you withstood that attack." Xanxus said. "In that case, I have no choice but to use this. Ligre Tempesta di Cielo!" Xanxus activated his box weapon and revealed a creature that is a mix between a sky lion and tiger tempesta.

"What the hell is that?" Sanji asked.

"That's Xanxus's box weapon." Tsuna said.

"So that's a box weapon, huh?" Robin said.

"His name is Bester." Xanxus said. "And he has a very special ability."

"How special?" Franky asked.

"How about you attack me and find out."

"Fine then, Franky Cannon!" Franky fired a cannonball at Xanxus. The box animal let out a roar, causing the cannonball to stop and crumble, making it explode.

"What the hell?" Franky said surprise.

"That's the power of Bester. But that's not he can do. Armatura Plantino: Ligre Tempesta di Cieli!" Xanxus's box weapon started to change and engulf his body.

Franky saw what happening and decided to stop it. "Franky Rocket Launcher!" Franky opened his shoulder cabinet and revealed three dangerous rockets. He fired them and hit Xanxus but when the smoke cleared, Xanxus was unharmed and is wearing a platinum armor. "What?!"

"This is my box weapon's defensive power. None of your attacks can break this defense. Now let show you its attack. Cambio Forma: Pistole Imperatore Animale!" Xanxus started to fuse the armor from his box animal with the power of his guns. "Now say good bye, Flame of Wrath!" Xanxus fired a very powerful blast from his guns, hitting Franky directly.

"Franky!" Everyone yelled. When the smoke cleared, Franky was damaged from the attack but was still able to get to his feet.

"What the hell?" Xanxus said, frustrated that he can't keep Franky down. "Martello di Flamma!" He fired his powerful blast from his guns.

Franky saw the blast coming towards him and quickly charged up a blast of his own. "Franky Radical Beam!" Franky fired a beam of air toward the oncoming attack. The beam went through the flame and hit Xanxus directly, causing a huge explosion. Xanxus fell to the ground and disappeared.

"Alright he won." Enma said.

"Whoa, that was awesome." Naruto said with stars in his eyes.

"Yeah, it's better than last time." Natsu added.

Zoro started to open his eyes and said, "Is it morning already?"

"YOU SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING?!" Everyone expect for Sado, Hibari Robin, Sasuke, Sai, and Shino yelled at Zoro. The cave managed to stable for the time being but Zoro may not be once everyone through with him.
