(Thank Munia, L-R-D, RIOSHO and Dthehalfdragon for your reviews!! Now is the fight between Gouki and Hideki, which, unfortuently is the last fight in the arc. There will be 2 more chapters until the next ark. Damn, why do they go so fast!! Oh well, this is about how long the first arks of the begging of One Piece anyway. Anywho, read on!!)

Gouki and Hideki continued to stare at each other, not flinching, not blinking. Gouki suddenly looked away and put his hands on his hips.

"Are we gonna do anything or just stare at each other like long lost lovers?" he asked, sighing.

"I was waiting for you to do the first move." Hideki replied. "But if you want me to start... fine, I will start." Hideki drew his sword, a long black broadsword. The only part that wasn't black was the edge of the blade, which gleamed silver. He darted forward, swiping at Gouki's chest. Gouki brought Kazefuchi up quickly, blocking the attack. As soon as the attack was finished, Hideki jumped back, bringing his sword up in front of his face.

"Your sword got a name?" Gouki asked.

"Name? You don't name swords." Hideki replied. "Swords are objects for the user, tools if you will."

"Swords with names are more powerful than swords without. For example, my swords name is Kazefuchi."

"That is very interesting to know." Hideki said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "You know what, Haratoto, I'm going to give you a free shot. You can slice me anywhere on my body. My shoulder, my chest, hell, you could kill me in one shot if you so wished."

Gouki thought about it, before shrugging. "Fine. It's your death wish." He pointed Kazefuchi away from him, as if a rapier. "Eye of the storm" He stepped forward with surprising quickness, and plunged Kazefuchi straight through Hideki's heart, the end of the blade emerging out of Hideki's back.

Hideki stood there, a bored expression on his face.

Gouki looked at where it struck, and noticed to blood, no injury whatsoever. "What?" He took the sword out, and whipped it sideways, right through Hideki's chest. It just phased through, passing through the flesh and muscles, not hurting Hideki in the slightest. He quickly cut through Hideki's arm. "What..." next he cut through Hideki's chest. "are..." lastly, Kazefuchi phased right through Hideki's head. "You!!"

Hideki grinned. "Me? Why, I am but a human. The only thing different about me is that I have eaten a devil fruit."

"Should have known." Hideki commented. "Care to share what sort of devil fruit?"

"I suppose I could, because you are going to die soon anyway. I have eaten the Yuurei Yuurei fruit. I am a ghost man." Hideki started to float in the air, letting his sword swing like a pendulum in his hand. "Meaning I can float, as you can see. I can pass through objects, and turn parts of my body invisible. It also means I cannot be harmed by physical attacks. I am essentially invincible. "

"So I can't use my sword then."

"No you cannot. You see, Haratoto, I got my devil fruit at twelve, and I became legend across the west blue when I got my first bounty, 80 million beri. I am quite surprised that you haven't heard of me. 'The Black Phantom' Hideki Yamamoto, a name known to marines as the man with 450 million beri, one of the highest bounties in the blues! I know you always thought Adam was the captain, but no, he is the first mate. No one except for him knows I direct the crew, and no one knows my past. Why I am telling you these few measly details is because you are going to die by my blade anyway."

"Blah Blah Blah." Gouki commented. "I don't want to know your life story, what I do want, however, is for you to actually fight."

"So impolite. That'll get you killed so much quicker, Haratoto."

"For the last time, I am NOT Harato... to..." Gouki stuttered to a halt, as Hideki pierced his shoulder, cutting through the flesh.

"You should concentrate on your opponent, and don't talk so much. My devil fruit is one of the most powerful paramecia's in the seas, and I love it!!"

Hideki pulled his sword out from Gouki's shoulder, and cut downwards, aiming for Gouki's chest. Gouki quickly blocked with Kazefuchi, concentrating for good this time.

"Just because you cut me does not mean you can defeat me." Gouki said, swinging Kazefuchi. The sword just passed through Hideki, who threw his head back and laughed out loud.

"I have already told you that you cannot harm me, so except your fate. Kuroi Kumori: Setsuzentaru" Hideki cut upwards with his sword, which Gouki blocked. However, Gouki was still thrown back by the force, and was propelled backwards. He smashed through the cabin wall, straight outside. He rolled across the stone floor, before coming to a rest.

"Gouki!!" Talon shouted, looking away from his fight with Adam.

'Talon?' Gouki thought groggily, picking himself up of the floor. He felt pain in his ribs as Hideki kicked him, and he rolled again. Kazefuchi was kicked from his grasp, clattering across the ground.

"Looks like Adam is nearly finished." Hideki said, looking over to his first mate. Looking back to the defenceless Gouki, Hideki sighed. "And it is time for me to finish. You were a fine crewmate, Haratoto. Too bad you had to die. Kuroi Kumori: Tobikomi"

Hideki pointed his sword straight over Gouki's heart, the point glinting ominously. Quickly, Hideki dropped to his knees, plunging his sword straight through Gouki's heart. Except, Gouki wasnt' there anymore.

"Wh...what!" Hideki exclaimed, looking at the space Gouki was moments before.

"Looking for me?"

Hideki whirled round to see Gouki standing calmly a few metres away, Kazefuchi in his hand.

"You! How!"

"What about me? And how? Why, very easily thank you very much."

"Since when... Haratoto."

Gouki sighed again, placing a hand on his forehead. "For the last time... I AM NOT GODDAMN HARATOTO!!!" Gouki bellowed swinging his sword with inhuman speed.

Before Hideki could register what happened, his chest split open, blood pouring from the wound. He fell to one knee, shocked beyond compare. "How... no... this isn't possible." Something suddenly clicked into place in Hideki's brain. "Oh shit... you're not..."

Gouki threw his arms into the air. "Finally! You have finally realised I am not your crewmate! Thank the goddamn heavens."

Hideki stood up, still shocked. "But how could you cut me?"

"You say your invincible? You say you cannot be beaten? Well, let me test that theory yes?" Gouki stood up straighter, and pointed his sword straight at Hideki. "My name is Gouki Riosho, and I have eaten the Supi Supi No Mi, meaning I am fast. Too fast for a human mind to comprehend. Now, Hideki Yamamoto. Witness my true power!!"

(And so, you can see why i named the chapter 'True Power'. Hideki is a ghost man, and Gouki is a speed man!! Remember Gouki is made by RIOSHO, and Hideki by TsubakiTwilight, so all questions about their characters go to them!! XD Next time on One Piece New Nakama:

Gouki: I can now fight you on equal terms, which is a relief.

Hideki: You can't catch me when i am up here!!

Gouki: Ever heard of the 10 Kings of The Gods?

Chapter 40 - True Power Part 2

Hideki: I have... foreseen... the f-future...
