"Now you only have five of those weird claws left," Luffy had dropped the boulder.

Natsu sat on top of it. "Maybe you don't need to me anymore to defeat him," Natsu said.

"That kid-."

"Captain Kuro's claws were-."

Luffy was smiling as Kuro got up from the floor. "Luffy, it looks like he's snapped. Watch out," Natsu told Luffy.

The pirates began to cheer for Kuro, but began to change his name. "Shut up! After this is done, all of you must die and Jango is no exception," Kuro told them.

The smile on Luffy's face then disappeared. "What? Why do we have to die too?"

They continued to try to convince Kuro that they didn't need to die as well, saying the plan would still work. "You don't have to worry about the plan. As long as your corpses are here, I can place all the blame on you," Kuro told them.

Shock went through the pirates. "I never intended to let any of you leave the village alive. It would be to my disadvantage to let anyone who knows my plans live," Kuro reasoned.

The pirates began to ask, "You mean, you planned from the very beginning to kill us?"

"Yes, ever since three years ago when I was still Captain Kuro! All this was part of my plan!" Kuro admitted.

"You guys are dumb," Luffy commented, "What a bunch of loser pirates."

"Losers? A pirate crew is just a random gathering of outcaste outlaws," Kuro told Luffy, "What could these fools do without my plan? You should continue to quietly follow my plans!"

"In a pirate fleet, the crewmembers are just pawns for the captain to use as he wishes. That means, you life and death are all in my hands. Even if there's a wall right ahead, you'd still have to follow my orders and charge at it! And sacrifice themselves for my plan!" Kuro went on, "That's the way of a pirate! A wandering little brat like you would never understand!"

"Even though you're the captain of a ship who controls hundreds of men," Luffy told Kuro, "You still can't defeat Usopp!"

"What? You say that I am inferior to 'that' captain in a kid's pirate game?" Kuro asked.

"That's right," Luffy answered.

You're so stupid! Don't get cocky just because you've broken my 'cat's claws," Kuro laughed, "In what way am I inferior to him?"

Kuro disappeared and Natsu stood up, placing the straw hat on his own head. "The way you think," Luffy answered Kuro's question, completely throwing him off guard.

"What?" Kuro asked.

"You don't know what a true pirate is supposed to be!" Luffy punched Kuro, even though he was behind Luffy.

Kuro was sent flying backwards. "That kid, he saw through the Captain's Silent Step!"

"You've insulted me! You want to know what a true pirate is supposed to be? Then let me show you," Kuro was sitting up, "Together with the terror of a real pirate!"

"The terror of a pirate," Kuro stood up, looking completely limp, "Who's been at the brink of death and survived!"

The pirates began to fret as they kept saying 'secret technique' and 'Shakushi'. "Watch out, Luffy. It seems whatever he's about to do is going to be harsh," Natsu moved closer to Luffy.

"Can you try to catch his movements and figure out his pattern?" Luffy asked.

"You'd be asking the wrong person if they couldn't," Natsu smiled.

"I'm counting on you," Luffy told Natsu.

"You can count on me. Please try to hold out as long as you can," Natsu told Luffy.

"Shakushi!" Kuro then said as his crewmates tried to get him to stop.

Kuro then disappeared, and Natsu sniffed the air in effort to find where Kuro went. Natsu couldn't pick up the sound of footsteps near them. One by one, the pirates began to fall over and then claw marks were left on the rocks. Natsu noticed that now Nami was watching. Luffy couldn't keep watching Kuro slice through the pirates at all. "Bare with it, Luffy. If we find out what Kuro is up to soon, we can try to save them," Natsu told Luffy.

"Come out, you evil butler," Luffy couldn't take watching anymore.

Natsu ducked down, knowing that Luffy was going to disable his hearing in one ear with a direct scream and he wasn't going to be able to stop Luffy. "What the hell do you think your crewmembers are?" Luffy yelled, earning a scratch over his chest.

Natsu noticed he could hear Kuro's footsteps and his scent disappeared as quick as it came. Luffy," Nami was surprised what he said.

Luffy really can't hold himself back when it comes to people killing their own friends XD Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
