Chapter 52: Ichigo's Pain!

Pain jumped away from the Hollowfied Ichigo. Pain and Hollow Ichigo stared at each other.

"Do you hate me?" Pain asked. Hollow Ichigo roared. He sonidoed behind Pain and was about to slash him but Pain dodged it. Pain took out a black rod and was going to stab Hollow Ichigo but failed when Hollow Ichigo broke the rod with one hand. Hollow Ichigo then proceeded by grabbing Pain by the neck and slashing him across the chest. He then threw Pain far, making him smash into ruins and trees in the process.

Pain slowly got up and Hollow Ichigo already appeared before he could go on his feet and punched the Deva in the face. Pain did some back flips and regained his footing. "Do you hate me?" Pain asked again. "Do you hate me for injuring your friend in battle?" Hollow Ichigo then charged up a cero. "Your actions are justified but know this." Hollow Ichigo fired the Cero. "MY PAIN... IS FAR GREATER THAN YOURS!" Pain repelled the Cero. Pain then ran towards the Hollowfied Ichigo. Hollow Ichigo tried and slashed Pain but he dodged every hit Hollow Ichigo was throwing at him. Hollow Ichigo then fired numerous Ceros at the Deva Pain but was all repelled by him.

"What is that?!" Zoro said with widened eyes.

"Ichigo once transformed into that." Uryu said, gaining everyone's attention. "He was out of control and too powerful."

"Maybe seeing Orihime get injured triggered it." Naruto said. Uryu nodded.

Once Hollow Ichigo stopped, Pain slowly lowered his hands. But he soon regretted that when Hollow Ichigo fired a huge blast of Cero and Pain was engulfed in it, resulting in a huge explosion. Everyone covered their eyes at the smoke blowing towards them.

"What power!" Sasuke said.

"Yeah! He might even rival with the Nine-Tails." Naruto said. When the explosion ended, Pain was up with blood on his chest and his Akatsuki attire ripped. Pain then threw a black rod at Hollow Ichigo but was dodged.

"Come!" Pain said. Hollow Ichigo immediately used sonido an appeared in front of Pain. 'He's fast!' Pain blocked every punch and slash Hollow Ichigo threw at him and backed away. "Almighty Push!" Pain repelled everything around him but Hollow Ichigo was not affected and grabbed the Deva Pain by the neck. Pain quickly kicked Hollow Ichigo away. 'No way... He withstood it?' Hollow Ichigo then punched Pain with great force, sending him back. Pain hit a few ruins and laid on the ground. Hollow Ichigo then charged up a Cero and fired it to wear Pain was. A huge explosion appeared as trees and ruins were disintegrated. Pain still survived the blast but had some burns and cuts.

"You have such power that you might be able to go on par with the Nine-Tails." Pain said. Hollow Ichigo roared. Pain then put his hands together and opened them, revealing a small black orb. "Planetary Devastation!" He then let go off it and it went high into the air. Naruto immediately knew what was going to happen.

"Everyone! we need to get out of here now!" Naruto said. Everyone then ran.

"What about Ichigo?" Luffy said.

"There's no time! Let's just hope he makes it."

Pain then put his hands together and the ground started to crumble. Hollow Ichigo ran towards Pain but stopped when the ground beneath him started going up. Everything on the island started moving towards the black orb.

"W-What is that?" Nami said with widened eyes.

"That orb is like a gravitational pull. Everything will go towards it." Naruto said. Hollow Ichigo then fired a Cero at the large ball of rocks and was destroying it. He kept on blasting and it looked like the thing was breaking. Pain put all his strength and dragged Hollow Ichigo on the orb. He then trapped Hollow Ichigo with rocks and finished. Everyone stood in shock at the massive ball that stood in the air. Pain panted and said, "It's over. I have won." Then, a Cero was shot out from the orb and hit Pain. Everyone saw the explosion and stared with widened eyes. Pain slowly stood as he coughed up blood. "I-Impossible." Hollow Ichigo then appeared and slashed Pain as he fell to the ground. Hollow Ichigo then put his foot on Pain and charged up a Cero.

"I see." Pain said. "Finish me." Hollow Ichigo then fired the Cero as it destroyed the ground. Pain soon disappeared and Hollow Ichigo roared in victory.

"Alright! Good Job Ichigo!" Luffy said. But Ichigo fired a Cero and destroyed some trees. "Huh? What's wrong with Ichigo? He won, didn't he?"

"Don't you get it?" Sanji said. "He's out of control." Everyone watched as Hollow Ichigo continued firing Ceros, destroying everything.

"If this keeps up then he'll destroy not only the island but us as well." Robin said. Luffy realize that this was serious and stood in front of the group.

"Natsu! Naruto! Tsuna!" Luffy shouted, surprising the three. " Let's beat some sense into Ichigo." Naruto and Natsu smirked as they stood in front of the group.

"A-Are you sure?!" Tsuna said as he puts on the mittens and then swallowed the pills. Luffy nodded.

"Let us help you." Sakura said but Luffy shook his head.

"You guys go back to the ship. We'll handle this ourselves."

"No way! We'll help you and you won't stop us." Erza said. "There's no way you can do this yourself."

"Yeah! Stop being so reckless, Luffy!" Nami said. Luffy closed his eyes and sighed as he turns to the group. He then reopened them as an aura come out of Luffy. One by one, everyone started to faint. Erza got on one knee as she took one glance at Luffy.

"Luffy... Damn.. you!" Erza said as she fainted. Sasuke, Hibari were able to withstand the Haki along with Zoro and Sanji and the two stared at Luffy with widened eyes.

'Just how much power does this guy have. Am I this weak?' Sasuke thought.

'Later, I shall bite him to death.' Hibari thought.

"I need you guys to carry them all to the ship." Luffy said as he turned around and joined the other three.

"Tch. Who do you think you are?! Telling me-" Sasuke stopped when Zoro had Shusui by his throat.

"Shut up and do what he says." Zoro said, giving Sasuke a glare. Sasuke then looked away and picked up some of the bodies. Everyone was picked up and then they all left to the ship. "Luffy!" Luffy turned around to face Zoro. "You better come back alive!" Luffy then gave Zoro a smile and said, "Don't worry! I won't lose!" Zoro gave Luffy a nod and then ran to the ship.

"Alright!" Luffy said. Natsu and Tsuna had flames in their hands, Naruto was already in sage mode with a Rasenshuriken in his hand, and Luffy pumped his blood and activated Gear Second. "Let's do this!" Luffy said as they all nodded. Hollow Ichigo stopped and saw the four leaders.

"Take this!" Naruto threw the Rasenshuriken at Hollow Ichigo and began the battle.
