A/N: Just Finished my second Semester of Sophomore Year, I think that explains the delay well enough.
Now, Q/A Time!
Guest 1: Did you base Pan's character off of Gremmy from bleach?
Me: No I did not. I came up with the idea for Pan/ Gōyoku from Once Upon a Time/ J M Barrie's Original Peter Pan story all Thrown together with a little One Piece Flare. I had Pan planned out before Gremmy even appeared or maybe was even created.
Guest 2: Skulduggery Pleasant, Mortal Coil is the inspiration for the sword fight.
Me: Wrong. The inspiration for the fight was Idigo vs Wesley from The Princess Bride
Guest 3: Okay I'm slightly confused I've noticed luffy use a move similar to ace. Did her get fire powers from ace's blood or something?
Me: Did you not read the Author's notes over the last 20-30 chapters? There was a Poll for who gets the Mera Mera no Mi and the winner was revealed in the Story.
54: Dude, did you rip off an episode of Once Upon a Time to come up with this character? Because otherwise this is a pretty good chapter. Please update soon.
Me: Like I mentioned above Pan/Gōyoku/ Secret Real Name is based from two sources combined with a Little One Piece. His appearance and some of his personality is the same as his Once Upon a Time counterpart (because I liked the way Robbie Kay's version looks/acts) while his darker side is from the Original Story and a little of my meddling. He's got no qualms with kidnapping and even killing children, besides more about him is revealed in this chapter and the biggest difference between the OUAT Peter Pan and my Pan.
Any more questions? No? Good, on we go!
Rise of the Kaizoukage
L: Chance Encounters
"What is it?" Shimaru said into his Den Den Mushi as he and one hundred of his Robot soldiers followed him.
"Sir, squad 15 was just annihilated." The voice on the other end answered. "Their last location was about 1 km due West from your current location."
"Netami, I'm on my way there now. Let everyone of the Shikishi know that there are people on the Island strong enough to defeat our drones. Show no mercy."
"Yes sir, oh and one more thing." The snail said in Netami's voice "Gōyoku has captured the Kyūbi Jinchuriki, and is heading for the rendezvous point."
"Excellent. Tell him I'll meet him there as soon as I check on Squad 15's last location."
"Yes Sir! CLICK" The Den Den mushi closed its eyes and went to sleep.
"GUURAAR!" Shimaru glanced up as a large monster pocked through the trees at him and his squad.
"I have no time for this." In the blink of an eye Shimaru was behind it with his sword drawn. SHWAK-SPLOOSH The beast was sliced to ribbons as blood and guts flew everywhere. 'Those drones are a composition of both the Bishokukai's latest GT Robos and The World Governments Pacifistas. Who or what could possibly be strong enough to defeat them.'
Back on the Wine Glass Plateau Zoro and Zebra were still going at it. Zoro swung his blades and unleashed barrage after barrage of flying slashes. Zebra's mouth was wide open as he fired an equal continuous amount of sound blades at Zoro.
"ITTO VOICE CUTTER!" Zebra screamed as he fired a large powerful sound blade at the green haired swordsman. "Suuuuu…" The heavenly king quickly took in a deep breath of air "OOOOAAAAAHHHH!" and screamed to the heavens before returning his attention to the pirate. "VOICE MISSILE!" BOOM BOOM BOOM Zebra fired off three powerful sound blasts at Zoro.
Zoro swiped Sandai Kitetsu and Shisui across his chest, dispelling Zebras sound blade before quickly swinging back and deflecting the three voice missiles.
Zebra rushed Zoro and delivered a right cross to the left side swordsman's face before landing a powerful left hook to the opposite side of the swordsman's face, cutting him across his nose.
"Ptooo!" Zoro spat out blood and sheathed his swords before commencing an unarmed counter attack. WHAM Zoro clenched his right fist and jammed it up into the underside of Zebra's chest, before landing two jabs to the larger man's chest and ending with a left upper cut to Zebra's jaw. Zoro wasn't done. He jumped up and swung his right leg for Zebra.
Zebra caught Zoro's leg before it hit him and slammed the swordsman into the ground, hard. He didn't stop there as Zebra leapt just over a downed Zoro with his elbow out. WHAM Zebra landed a powerful elbow drop on the swordsman.
The large man stood over Zoro, cracking his neck and knuckles. Blood and sweat were pouring from both of them, as Zoro stood back up and drew his swords. SHWAK as fast as lightning Zoro delivered two slashed to Zebra's chest.
Zebra placed a hand on his chest as he took two steps back. "Fall…" Zebra said with a smirk. KRAK-BOOOM "THUNDER NOISE!" Dozens of lightning shaped sound blasts fell from the heavens towards Zoro.
"Kokujo: O Tatsumaki!" WOOOOO Zoro swung his blades and created a large dragon like effigy that spiraled upward, creating a great black lighting struck the tornado and the two attacks dissipated, yet both combatants were still rearing to go.
"Santoryu: Shurio Hōyoku…" Zoro cocked two swords horizontally above his right shoulder the sword in his mouth pointed in the same direction "KAEN HO!" FWOOM-VOOSH Zoro swung his blades in a circular motion at Zebra. The compressed air waves ignited into brilliant flames of orange, red, blue and yellow before coming together and taking the shape of a great fire bird.
"Heh." Zebra smirked as the attack approached him.
Meanwhile with Luffy, Nami, Komatsu and Toriko, Nami was sitting on a rock, using a plank of wood as a table while she wrote in her log. Komatsu was Cooking some Lunch/Second Sunch/Early Supper/Afternoon Snack for the two gluttons who had left to go get some more grub for Komatsu to cook, after all Rainbow Fruit and Jewel Meat are far too valuable to be eaten for a snack.
Komatsu made use of some very large leaves lying around and with some help from Toriko, he fashioned them into bowls. "I'm amazed by the fact that not only are they fire proof, but when these leaves get wet they became malleable and bigger until dried." Komatsu said to himself as he julienne three Cabbage Heads with one movement of his hand and knife.
[Cabbage Head – Plant – Capture Level 1]
"OI KOMATSU!" The chef turned to see Luffy and Toriko return with two large buffalos that each had four large brown feathered wings growing out of their backs. "Can you cook these up?" Toriko asked
[Winged Buffalo – Mammal – Capture Level 2]
"Sure thing Toriko-san!" Komatsu said "How much of it should I cook up right now?"
"All of it of course!" Toriko replied nonchalantly
"Yeah, this is going to be a light snack!" Luffy said grinning
"Geeze…" Nami sighed "I'm willing to bet they won't even be remotely full, even after eating almost the entirety of those beasts."
"Yeah, you're probably right Nami." Toriko said "These won't fill us, not even by about 2%."
"Shishishsi" Luffy just started laughing as he and Toriko set the Winged Buffalo down next to Komatsu. "You know us too well!" Suddenly both Toriko and Luffy stiffened and glanced to the west. "Nami you 'Hear' that?" Luffy asked his navigator.
Understanding what Luffy was implying Nami closed her eyes briefly before they reopened "I can 'hear' them too. Three, no four voices heading our way."
"Are they friendy? Monsters? More Robots?" Komatsu asked
"I can smell them, and they don't have hints of carbon, aluminum nor steel." Toriko said speaking up. "Don't worry Komatsu, they're very friendly."
"NAMI-SWAAAAN!" All four of them looked to see an extremely happy blond cook racing towards them, kicking off of the air itself. Right behind him was an extremely large magenta Snake with two individuals on its head.
"I'M SO PLEASE THAT YOU ARE OK!" Sanji made a beeline attempt to embrace Nami but he was stopped when Nami lifted up her left leg so the cook ran right into it.
"Not so fast Sanji." She said while Sanji cringed and Luffy laughed up a storm.
"TORIKO!" Rin cheered as she leapt off of Quinn and embraced Toriko, who looked at her with a slightly confused/ dismayed look.
"Hey Rin." He said "What're you doing here?"
"I came to see you of course!" Rin replied smiling up at the blue haired behemoth. "We couldn't let you have all the fun."
"Um…Ok…"
"Sunny-san!" Komatsu said happily "You're here!"
"Of Course Matsu!" Sunny said "This is a special training assignment from the Old Man, none of us can let Toriko have all the fun."
"Coco-san and Zebra-san are here as well?" Komatsu asked happily
"How should I know?" Sunny responded "I have a hard time standing Toriko's vulgarity let alone Coco's or Zebra's."
"Right…" Komatsu said "And you're still calling me Matsu…"
"So what brings you guys here?" Toriko asked
"Ask him." Sunny said gesturing towards Sanji who was in the middle of interrogating Luffy. "He insisted we head this way because she was in trouble."
"That sounds like Sanji." Nami said
"WHAT!?" They all turned as Sanji grabbed Luffy by the collar of his shirt. "YOU LET SOME DAMN DIRTY APES TOUCH NAMI-SWAN!?"
"How original…" Nami commented
"Hey, I got her out of it didn't I?" Luffy asked "but what about Robin and Naruto? Weren't you with them?"
"OH CRAP! ROBIN-CHWAN!" Sanji yelled coming to the realization. "I left her all alone!"
"Robin can take care of herself." Nami said "besides she's got Naruto with her and with any luck she probably ran into one of the Four Heavenly Kings just like we all did."
"It would probably be Coco." Toriko said in between sips from a drink Komatsu prepared
"Those blasts we've been hearing for a while are most likely Zebra fighting something or someone." Sunny added
"Probably the Marimo." Sanji said lighting a cigarette. "That's what they did last time anyway."
"True." Everyone said together as the hung their heads and formed sweat drops on their heads. They all knew exactly what Zoro and Zebra had done, along with the third party.
"Sanji-kun, would you mind helping Komatsu prepare some food for us all?" Nami asked
"I DON'T MIND AT ALL NAMI-SWAN!" The cook yelled with a pink heart for a left eye and his kegs spinning like a cyclone. "What shall I prepare for you?"
"I'll take anything." Nami said
"Something Sweet for me." Rin chimed in
"ABSOLUTELY!"
"Hooray!" Luffy cheered pumping his fists into the air "We get even more meat!"
"Shuddup you pig!" Sanji roared at his captain "I shall only aid Komatsu in preparing Nami-swan and Rin-chwan's meals. The rest of you can get food poisoning for all I care."
"Hey!" Toriko Sunny and Luffy gawked at the blond chef.
"You can prepare something for the Ladies Sanji-san." Komatsu said trying to dispel the tension "I'll handle making something for Luffy, Toriko, Sunny and Quinn…"
Sometime later the entire group sat around the fire while Sanji and Komatsu served the cooked meat to them.
"Alright everyone, eat up." Komatsu said as he and Sanji served everyone.
"Here you are Nami my dear." Sanji said as he held out a slab of meat covered in gravy. Unfortunately before either could react the meat vanished "Hey!" Sanji yelled at Luffy who quickly stuffed the meat into his mouth.
"Yum!" Luffy said smiling.
"That was for Nami-swan!" Sanji roared, but a sudden weight change on his other hand. He looked just in time to see Toriko take the other leaf plate and eat the gravy covered piece of meat.
"So good." Toriko said savoring each bite.
"YOU FRIGGEN PIGS!" Sanji yelled as he slammed a heel onto each of their heads while Nami and Rin tried to calm him down.
Meanwhile, Robin and Coco had arrived where the raven haired woman had last seen Naruto.
"Are you sure this is the right place Robin-san?"
"This is the center of the desert maze" Robin said in a pondering pose "I sure hope Naruto didn't get swallowed by any quicksand."
Coco stared hard at the surrounding area "there are strange electromagnetic waves all over the place." He pointed out
"They're probably from the Forest that Pan created" Robin tossed in
"You still haven't really explained who this Pan is."
"He's a murderer. I first heard about him growing up in the West Blue." Robin said as she crouched close to the ground searching for something. "The original story was a fairy tale about a boy who would come and take children to an island where they would never grow up."
"Sounds like a metaphor for an angel coming down and taking children to Heaven." Coco added crouching down to help Robin search for clues.
"That's exactly what it is" the woman said "But the Pan we're dealing with kidnaps and murders children, and he's been doing it for the better part of two hundred years."
"That sounds far fetched…" Coco said
"According to the Revolutionaries, that I spent two years with, he was eventually captured and imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down seventeen years ago. The kicker is that he was about two hundred years old, but he didn't look a day over sixteen."
"So how did he get out?"
"Most likely in the massive break out my captain caused two years ago." Robin speculated "Using the power of the Sōzō Sōzō no Mi should have made the escape fairly easy once his cuffs came off. It turns the user's imagination into a weapon and halts the user's age."
"I assumed that originally" Coco said "So why does he go after children?"
"No one knows, probably because he has developed a complex in which he truly believes himself to be the character from the story."
"Hmmm…" Coco stared at a hand full of sand before letting it fall back to the ground "There's something wrong with this sand" The fortune teller said "it feels heavier, and is giving off different electromagnetic waves." He stood back up "I have a feeling this is probably a trap."
"It most likely is." Robin said as she also stood back up. "But…" Robin suddenly snapped her attention to her left and quickly crossed her arms. SHWOOF six arms pulled a bloodied body from beneath the sands.
The body was that of a young dirty blond child. Blood stains were amply all over his body. The most disturbing feature would have to be the Katana sticking through his heart. The Katana a hilt wrapped in red cloth and a golden hand guard with indentions at the four corners and crescent markings on the sides of the blade.
"Why would you kill your target with his weapon?" Robin questioned as she and Coco found themselves face to face with the corpse of Naruto.
Coco placed two fingers on Naruto's neck "Dead." He said "But the body looks like it's been buried here for a long time." He got a good stare at it. "And its electromagnetic waves… are different from those that I saw with you earlier; in fact…the waves are similar to some of the sand."
"Yes, but this isn't Naruto" Robin said as one of her arms pulled the sword from 'Naruto's chest. Almost immediately 'Naruto' and the sword collapsed into sand. "Pan must have set this up…"
"That he did." Robin and Coco tuned around to see Pan standing there "Though I tend to lack finesse in doing thing like this. Case and point" He gestured to the pile of sand that was the dummy corpse.
Robin immediately crossed her arms as twelve arms grew out of Pan and Held him in a position to easily kill him. "Hello, Peter Pan" Robin said
"Please, call me Peter." Peter said as he struggled to move one of his hands around and was about to touch her arm that held his hand. "I'd let go if I were you." He said seriously POOF Robin's arms vanished from all around him.
"What do you want Pan?" Robin demanded
"Robin-chan calm down…" Coco pleaded
"Nothing really." He said as he lazily held his right hand out towards them "Just that I want to kill you." SHEEEN his hand turned to a lustrous bright yellow color while little golden droplets dripped down from his fingers and sizzled when they touched the desert sands.
"A Devil Fruit?" Robin questioned
"Or Gourmet Cells?" Coco asked as the two readied themselves for a fight.
DOOOM Luffy, Sanji, Toriko and Sunny all tensed as they felt a presence get extremely close at a very quick speed. Immediately they all turned to the source of the disturbance.
Standing before the entire group was a man. He had waist long blood red hair, with high bangs framing his face. Speaking of his Face it was covered by a black skull shaped mask complete with three horns coming out of his forehead. He wore a red cloud studded cloak over his shoulders like a cape, exposing his attire beneath. It was a completely black sleeveless shirt with a low v-cut, metal bracer on his forearms, a pair of fingerless gloves with a metal plate on the back of his hands, each plate had the image of a spiral carved into them, navy blue pants, a pair of dark red baggy pants (which were really only just the legs) each with a set of three silver straps on each leg that connected behind his legs. The red pants were attached to a black belt that had a red spiral for the buckle. Crossed over his back were two swords, a katana in a black sheath and a much longer Nodachi.
"Who's this whack job?" Sanji asked
"No idea." Sunny said
"That smell on him…" Toriko said while sniffing the air "I don't like it…"
"Hi, I'm Luffy!" Luffy said in his usual friendly tone "I'm the guy that's going to be King of the Pirates!"
"LUFFY!" Nami yelled as she bonked him on the head.
'Those two…' Shimaru looked at the Captain and Navigator, feeling an odd sense of Déjà vu he processed what he was seeing. 'I have a strange feeling as if I've met them before…Straw Hat…He was in Impel Down, on a quest to rescue his brother…But that girl… She looks almost exactly like…' "Nice to meet you." He said bowing hiding his though process "My name is Shimaru, a member of Akatsuki. Do you by chance know what happened to my soldiers that were just in this area?"
"Soldiers? You mean those Robot Ninjas?" Luffy asked
"Yes, that would be them."
"Well, that was us. We smashed them." Luffy answered truthfully.
"LUFFY!" Nami and Sanji yelled at their captain "HE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT!"
"But it's true." Luffy said
"We're deeply sorry for destroying your robots." Toriko said cautiously "Though, they did attack us first." He added with a serious look.
"THEY DID ATTACK US FIRST! SO DON'T APOLOGISE!" Nami yelled.
"It's quite alright, that must mean you're all strong." Shimaru said borderline laughing before he stopped suddenly. "Please forgive me" He said "My soldiers take their commands a bit too literally…they still require a few minor adjustments…they are after all on a mission. Just a few moments ago the ones I had with me were wiped out by and extremely powerful creature."
"What did you do with the creature?" Toriko asked
"I ran away like a little bitch." Shimaru said
'If he ran away…why does he smell like blood?' Toriko questioned
"What kind of mission were they on?" Komatsu asked curiously
"I cannot tell you, its top secret." Shimaru said "But you all look like nice people so I might tell you. I'll tell you. We're on a mission from my village leader to capture dangerous fugitives." GROWL suddenly Shimaru's stomach growled loudly "Oh damn, I've been so busy that I haven't eaten anything in a while."
"Well, even though you are on a mission, you sound hungry so why don't you join us." Sanji said
"Yeah, please join us." Komatsu said "The more people eat together, the better food tastes."
"NANI!?" Nami scolded "YOU CAN'T JUST INVITE A RANDOM STRANGER TO JOIN US!"
"I'd love to." Shimaru said 'They honestly can't be this trusting…'
"HOW'D YOU AGREE SO EASILY!?" Nami demanded
Unbeknownst to the group Quinn was watching their new guest like a…well snake, for she didn't trust him at all.
"That was a wonderful meal." Shimaru said, somehow he had managed to eat his meal without removing his mask. "My complements to the chefs, never have I tasted anything so good."
"Thanks" Komatsu said slightly happy.
"Don't mention it." Sanji said as he handed deserts to Nami and Rin.
"Might I have some desert as well?" The red head asked
"ME TOO SANJI!" Luffy yelled
"IT LOOKS GOOD!" Toriko exclaimed while salivating heavily "HIT ME UP WITH ONE OF THOSE SANJI!"
"I'd like some as well." Sunny said looking at the way Luffy and Toriko were demanding their food in dismay.
"WAIT YOUR DAMN TURN YOU SELFISH BASTARDS!" Sanji yelled at the quartet.
"Hey old guy. Why do you where that mask?" Luffy asked
"I've got a pretty bad scar on my face." Shimaru said "It serves to remind me of one of my greatest defeats."
"Quite the mouth on that one." Shimaru commented "Not as bad a Hidan though."
"Shishishi you should see him around Zoro, he uses a strange language of symbols most of the time that even Robin can't decipher."
"I bet you 1,000,000 beli that Hidan has a worse mouth."
"1,000,000 Beli!" Nami said happily while her eyes changed to currency signs "You're on!"
'Ok, now she reminds me of two people now, one being Kakuzu and the other being Hadario...but she's too young to be or be related to Hadario. To be certain I must make my move at the opportune moment. As soon as that is done, I am out of here and off to the Kyūbi.'
"You know what baffles me?" Shimaru said as he turned to Luffy and Toriko. "How you and that Blue haired bloke can eat enough for a hundred men and still be hungry. Heck, you two act hungrier than me. And I haven't eaten all morning."
"What do you mean?" Toriko and Luffy asked in unison while stuffed their faces even more and unintentionally spat some food and saliva at the masked man.
"Don't bother questioning it." Rin said "There's a lot of people who can do that."
"I'll take your word for it." Shimaru said taking another bite of meat "God, I can't get over this! It's so much better than the slop they served us back in Impel Down." Luffy, Nami and Sanji all tensed and looked straight at Shimaru, who calmly kept eating. "Did I say something?"
"You were in Impel Down Old Man?" Luffy asked flabbergasted
"Yes, and I'm not that Old, just 74."
"That's impossible! You look and sound like you're in your fifties." Nami pointed
"Why thank you." The red head said in a mocking bow and a tip of the invisible hat. "Now that you all know my age, I am curious about what are your ages?" the old redhead asked
"About 26" Toriko answered "Next month is my birthday"
"20" Rin said
"Just turned 26 last month" Komatsu responded
"24" Sunny said
"20" Nami replied unaware of Shimaru's slight reaction
"19" Luffy said between bites of meat, he red haired man made another slight reaction to that age, though not as much as Nami's "I turn 20 next month"
"21" Sanji answered blowing out some smoke.
"Excuse me young man." He said to Komatsu "but didn't you say that you were 25?"
"The fact 'Matsu is 25 and therefore is older than most of us is what bothers you?" Sunny asked
"YOU'RE 25!?" Luffy practically yelled in shock at Komatsu "WHY ARE YOU SO SHORT?"
BONK Nami slapped Luffy upside the head "Idiot" She said "Komatsu isn't short, everyone else is just freakishly tall."
"You're only seven inches taller than me Luffy-san…" Komatsu said rubbing the back of his head.
"No…" Shimaru replied with a sweat drop
"It's gotta be the gourmet cells" Toriko said "They can slow down aging by a lot."
"I do have them I got them about two years ago, but back to my story. I believe we met briefly Straw Hat Luffy." He said directly to Luffy
"Don't think we did old man." Luffy said crossing his arms over his chest.
"I was imprisoned on Level 6 for eighteen years, before that little fiasco two years ago. That was very rude, leaving all us poor prisoners behind while only taking Jinbe and Corcodile, though I am grateful to Blackbeard for releasing us after you left."
"You would have helped me?" Luffy asked
"No." Shimaru replied sipping from a cup. "I would have helped you escape then go out to finish my mission from twenty years ago."
"Humf." Sunny scoffed "You'd get a long great with Zebra."
"Though, there is one thing about my past I cannot shake." The masked man turned to Nami "I would like to know how you are still alive."
"WHAT!?" The entire group was shocked and tensed at his words.
"Not only do you look slightly different but your hair is now orange and you look younger than last we met, but I distinctly remember putting a bullet through your head." WOOOOM Suddenly he was right in front of Nami with a hand shooting for her neck. "I guess I'll just have to remove your head." WHAM Luffy and Sanji both kicked the man in the chest, forcing him away from Nami.
"What are you trying to do?" Luffy demanded seriously.
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN NAMI-SWAN!" Sanji roared
"Everyone! Get Back!" Toriko yelled fiercely revealing that little fact "This man has the scent of blood all over him!"
"That must be from the beasts that attacked us earlier." The red head said nonchalantly "Damn things took out my entire squad."
"What did you do with those creatures after killing them?" Toriko demanded
"Nothing" Shimaru "As with any battle field the victor leaves the loser's corpse to rot."
"You bastard" Toriko growled "You're no better than those Bishokukai Bastards"
"Toriko…now I remember you now." Shimaru said turing to the blue haired man "I've heard a lot about you from those Sous Chefs back at the Bishokukai."
"You're with the Bishokukai!?" Komatsu and Rin demanded.
"Everything makes sense now" Sunny said "All his actions"
"I believe past tense would be best to describe our relationship." Shimaru said. "Now if you don't want to die I suggest you back away from her." THWAM Luffy blitzed the red haired man and kicked him on the right side of his face, sending him reeling back.
"If you think I'm gonna sit back and watch you harm my Nakama, my queen then you're dead wrong."
Shimaru got back up and cracked his neck. "So what are you going to do about it?"
"I'll Rip you in half!" Luffy said as a fiery red aura surrounded him.
Somewhere else on the Island Kurama flinched and looked off towards the East. The human formed Biju had just felt an enormous and familiar power appear and surge before dissipating. Terry sensed it as well for he stopped almost immediately and looked off in the same direction.
"Kurama, what's up?" Chopper asked concerned
"Not sure." Kurama said "But whatever it is, it isn't good." The humanoid Kyūbi was worried, he had just sensed the presence of what felt like another Biju on the island and the worst part was that he also felt Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Komatsu, Toriko and three others from the same location as said Biju.
However it wasn't just Kurama that noticed, Terry looked off in the same direction before he sniffed the air and whimpered lightly before Chopper patted the Battle Wolf behind his ears.
"Don't worry Terry" The reindeer said reassuringly understanding the animal to human translation
"He's strong isn't he?" Kurama asked the little Reindeer.
"He sure is!" Chopper replied excitedly. "He and the three other Kings have these really cool abilities! All of them are as strong if not stronger than even Luffy, Zoro and Sanji!"
"I doubt that…" Kurama said doubting the Kings' strength "I don't think he's stronger than the Monster Trio, let alone me."
"But it's true!" Chopper stated
"Can he cause earthquakes and tsunami's with the flick of a tail?"
"No…" Chopper said
"Then I'm stronger." Kurama said
"But you told me you couldn't do those things either."
"Look, people said I could do those things out of fear, and maybe because the ground shook when I walked. I myself have never attempted to do either of those things so there is no proof that I can't."
"So can you?"
Kurama began to tear up and cry comically "N-N-NOOOOOOOO!" he wailed like a little baby. "BI…dried id…bag on da wast…islanb…bud…I…coubn't! (I tried it back on the last island but I couldn't!)" His words came out slurred with tears. "IB'M DOOO BATHETIC! (I'M SO PATHETIC!)"
"the only one I'll admit is that Terry is much stronger than either of us." Kurama said scratching the Wolf behind the ears. "I've been around for a really long time, and never have I come across a Beast that could tangle with me." Kurama had developed a genuine respect for Terry, for the beast radiated power.
BOOOM Out of nowhere a red streak raced towards them and struck the animal trio catching them all by surprise.
A few moments later Kurama stirred awake. "Damn…what the hell was that?" Kurama asked out loud as he sat up and rubbed the back of his head. The ground beneath him was cracked and cratered while most of the surrounding area was covered in smoke, dust and soot, minimizing vision. He looked to his left then to his right and saw Chopper laying there bloodied and beaten. "CHOPPER!" The human Kyubi yelled as he raced for his little friend "HEY! CHOPPER WAKE UP!"
"Uh…" The little reindeer stirred slightly and opened his eyes "Kurama…? What happened…?"
"I don't know…" Kurama said frantically "Hang on…I'll get you a doctor! HELP! HELP! WE NEED A DOCTOR OVER HERE!"
"but…I'm the doctor…" Chopper replied weakly
"Ah! That's right!" Kurama yelled slightly with realization. Kurama held Chopper in his left arm while he held out his right arm WOOOO a clear red bubble formed around his right hand and he placed it on Chopper's chest.
"What…are you doing?"
Kurama said "Back when I was sealed in Naruto, whenever he got hurt I always managed to heal him right on up and quickly in a short amount of time. So healing you should be a snap." BOOOOM Kurama stopped suddenly as a blast was heard. Turning to the source of the blast he saw Terry landing on the ground near them, the battle wolf's fur was slightly singed on the right hand side. Kurama took the moment to soak in Terry's facial expression, for the couple of hours that they've known each other the wolf was calm and friendly, right now his fangs were bared and his ears were back making him look vicious and predatory all at once.
In the blink of an eye Terry raced forward in a white blur kicking up dust and pebbles. His speed and force was so immense that it blew away all the debris revealing their location to be a field of dirt that was full of life only moments before.
"Damn…" Kurama said while he quickly healed up Chopper. "If he were a human from the Elemental Nations I'll bet his nickname would be 'White Flash'…but what on earth is he fighting?"
WOOOOM blurs of white and red raced towards each other forming an intricate pattern before breaking off and stopping, Terry in front of them, and his opponent across the battle field.
It was humanoid in appearance with large muscles and a long beak-like face. Its arms, back, legs and tail were all covered in thick red fur. Growing out of its back was a pair of black feathered wings; it had claw-like hands and feet with three toes. It wore three necklaces around its neck and its eyes were wide and solid red with no pupils.
"What is that thing!?" Kurama demanded
Terry barked as if telling them something "'a Nitro'" Chopper translated "Terry wants us to stay back because of how dangerous it is."
"It looks like a birdman, it doesn't look that threatening."
"SKREEEEEEE!" The Nitro screeched revealing its toothy maw before charging the Battle Wolf. BOOOM Terry leaped out of the way as the Nitro punched and cratered the ground with a single fist. WOOOM SHOOM Multiple ten meter tall rock spires erupted out of the ground in all directions surrounding the Nitro.
"WOAH!" Kurama yelled as he jumped up with Chopper to avoid one of these rock spires. Gracefully Kurama landed atop a spire "That was an earth release technique…" Kurama said in awe "It should be impossible for this thing to have chakra, let alone use it…" The Nitro then turned and set its sights upon Kurama before letting out one more battle cry before charging the humanoid Kyūbi.
Omake Time: Boxing Time
A mike on a cord is lowered from the ceiling. A bony hand reached up and grabbed it before a spotlight flooded him with light.
"YEAH!" The Crowd roared with excitement as the announcer took center stage
"LADIES AND GENTELMEN!" His voice rang out over the speakers "WELCOME TO THE MMA/BOXING/WRESTLING ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT!"
"RAAAAAAAHHHH!" Cheers rang from the crowd
"I AM YOUR HOST AND REFEREE! FIGHTING LEGEND AND FAMOUS MUSICIAN, THE UNDERBROOKER!" Brookintroduced himself much to the crowd's pleasure "ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?"
"YEAH!" the crowd cheered
"WITHOUT FURTHER ADUE, IN THE YELLOW CORNER… THE KING OF KICKS… BRUCE SANJLEE!"
There in the blue corner stood Sanjlee, wearing a long sleeved yellow suit with black stripes running down the arms and legs. He was standing on one foot throwing deadly air kicks. "Each of my kicks is amplified by my love of the ladies" Sanjlee said
"AND HIS CORNER MAN, THE MAN WHO WON 8000 BATTLES… 'CAPTAIN' GIANT SLAYER USOPP!"
Right behind Sanjlee was a young man with a long nose, posing like he really did win 8000 fights. Everyone could see that he didn't.
"IN THE BLUE CORNER … THE SUPER… THE INVINCIBLE…FRANKY "THE HULK" HOGAN!"
In the corner stood Franky, his blue hair was in a mullet covered by a red bandana with a great white star on the forehead. All he wore for clothing was a blue speedo that was plastered with stars "OW! Let me tell you something! I'm feeling nrrrrrrr…" Franky rolled his massive arms and the audience followed suit.
"SUUUUUUPERRRRR!" Franky, Brook and the audience yelled as they clapped their arms together.
"AND HIS CORNER…ER…MAN…THE SURGEON, WHO'S OPERATING TABLE IS THE RING…CHOPPER!"
Behind Franky was a hulking behemoth of Tony Tony Chopper. Try as he might he couldn't bring himself to look intimidating, all he accomplished was looking incredibly adorable and cute.
"IN THE RED CORNER… 'THE WILD BEAST' AND MASTER OF FOX STYLE KUNG FU…KURAMA!"
"Booyah!" Kurama cheered as he punched the air.
"AND HIS CORNER BOY…NARUTO! WHO DESPITE BEING A CHILD HAS ALREADY PROVEN HIMSELF TO TUSSLE WITH SOME OF THE GREATS!"
Right behind Kurama, Naruto pumped and waved his fists in the air riling the crowd up.
"IN THE GREEN CORNER… SANJLEE'S GREATEST RIVAL…" Standing in the corner throwing air punches was a green haired man "ZOROCKY BALBOA!"
Zorocky got a spotlight flooded on him as he continued to throw air punches. He only wore dark green shorts and white wrappings on his hands.
"ZOROCKY'S CORNER…WOMAN…THE LOVELY NICO ROBIN!"
Robin stood behind Zoro smiling and waving kindly to the crowd.
"PARDON ME MISS ROBIN, MIGHT I SEE YOUR PANTIES?" Brook asked Robin, unintentionally saying it into the loud snail. BONK in that one moment every female in the audience threw their shoes at the ref.
FWOOOM Sparks erupted from either side of the door beneath the large TV. the Underbrooker's head poked out from the large shoe pile "AND FINALLY I AM PROUD TO PRESENT THE CURRENT KING OF MARTIAL ARTS…" Down the aisle walked a figure hooded and cloaked. "SON LUFFY!"The hooded figure tossed off his cloak. There stood Son Luffy, wearing red pants, a red vest and a navy blue t-shirt under the vest. His hair was in a massive afro as he pumped his fists in the air with excitement.
"YEAH!" He cheered. Almost as soon as he opened his mouth the crowd erupted into cheers, none more than one fan who had a green mohawk and sharp teeth. Meanwhile the four other fighters' jaws dropped in shock.
"AND HIS BEAUTIFUL CONERWOMAN…NAMI!" Brook called out as he gestured to the orange haired girl standing behind Son Luffy's shoulder.
"ALRIGHT LET'S GET THIS FREE FOR ALL FIVE WAY BATTLE STARTED!" Brook announced as Son Luffy got into the ring "THREE…TWO…ONE…FIGHT!" DING The bell rang symbolizing the start of the fight no sooner had it started than Sanjlee, Franky, Kurama and Zorocky threw towels down onto the ring. "UM…WHAT'S THIS?" Brook asked "YOU'RE ALL GIVING UP?"
"There is no way in hell we can beat Son Luffy." They all said in unison "Even the strongest of warriors know not to mess with the Afro."
"Shishishi! I guess that makes me the winner!" Son Luffy pumped his fists ito the air and the crowd went wild
"WINNER BY DEFAULT…SON LUFFY!"
