Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or One Piece.
A/N: There's a rumor floating around the site's closing I don't think there's any real merit to it but felt like telling you all in case you haven't backed up your stories yet/in a while. I usually try once in a while and I back them up on two flash drives.
ALSO wanted to put this up due to the newest chapter as that got my muse with this so uploaded it 'early'. But damn again anime focused mainly on where Naruto wasn't... Course not watching the ani and reading only the manga, both being about 2 years behind at this point of the story IDK what filler's been added as I know they've been trying for 1 chapter an episode instead of the original almost 4.
Remember to vote if you haven't! I'll be taking it down a week or two after a rotation or after Shinobi on Board's next update to let you all see who won. And the next poll I have will go up after another rotation to let people see who won.
Chapter XCI.
Last Time.
He turned and bounced on his feet as he continued singing the word zoom as a man and woman came up to dance with him.
If I get thinner, I'll be too popular.
So I don't get thinner, that's my kind of…
Queen then brought his hands up in a pose.
FUNK!
Luffy and Naruto stood up and picked Hyogoro before running off.
After his performance, he sits on his chair and asks Babanuki to rank the three things that are currently troubling him the most. "The third!"
"Eustass Kid escaped."
"NANI? (WHAT?)" Queen asked eyes popping out of his skull before composing himself and held up two fingers. "Number two!"
"The keys to the Kairōseki (Sea Prism Stone) have been stolen," Babanuki said getting the same look from Queen.
"And number one!"
"Straw Hat Luffy and Maelstrom Naruto are on the run."
"Naaani?! (Whaaat?!)" Queen yelled before seeing the pirates climbing the wall. "Chase them you bakas (Idiots!)"
Now.
Udon Prison.
Naruto and Luffy continued to climb up the cliff before dodging swords and rocks thrown at them. Luffy, grab on!" Naruto yelled having Luffy grab onto him. Opening the Hachimon (Gates) Naruto quickly climbed and got to the top of the cliff and over the side before looking over the side. "You all will always remember this as the day you almost caught Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto flipped them off before running off.
Flower Capital.
At the Flower Capital bathhouse, Drake and Hawkins arrive to search for those associated with the Kozuki Family. Nami and Robin who had come with Shinobu hid behind her. Hawkins went deep into the bathhouse and found Shinobu standing. Suspicious, he demands her to move away but Nami innocently walked out from behind Shinobu and claims that she is just a normal customer.
Hawkins wasn't fooled by the ruse and identifies her as being part of the Straw Hats. Nami's cloth later falls off her body and exposes her naked body. Most of the men in the bathhouse were affected by her 'Happiness Punch' while the women were impressed with her both. When Sanji saw her naked, he suffers a heavy nosebleed that causes him to cancel the invisibility his raid suit provided and jetted backward, crashing into a wall.
The people in the bathhouse gather around the immobilized Sanji, claiming that they saw him yesterday. Hawkins calls Drake and tells him that 'Soba Mask' was present. Drake enters the bathhouse, only to see a naked Nami, and collapses. Upon close inspection, Drake was shocked to see a Germa 66 raid suit.
Later, the people in the bathhouse quickly escaped the bathhouse. Nami, Robin, and Shinobu plan to as well, but Drake stops them. Suddenly, Sanji recovers from his immobility and attacks the two Worst generations, rescuing the three women by flying through the roof. Drake and Hawkins run out and vow to catch Sanji later.
While flying in the air, Nami asks why he was in the bathhouse. Sanji says it's a long story and he would explain later. Robin expresses concern for Sanji and asks if he was losing too much blood. Sanji replies that he could die happily from blood loss. Sanji tells the three women that he is planning to fly to Ebisu Town where most of the Straw Hats were at.
Zoro In Ringo.
Zoro stood at a bridge in front of a man.
He's a very large man with a face resembling a mask. He's wearing a dark kimono, light pants, and a light cape, and has many weapons on his back. He also has a very large bead necklace.
Gyukimaru.
Gyukimaru explains he's going to claim Shusui back. He bluntly tells Zoro that it wasn't his sword, saying that it was a treasure, stolen from the graves of the legendary samurai Ryuma. Zoro slyly exclaims that he already knows the fact. He also tells Zoro to go away but Zoro attacks, starting a battle. As they fought, Gyukimaru explained Shusui's history and his intent on putting it back at Ryuma's grave.
"HELP!"
Zoro looked back to see a woman holding Toko running from a man holding scythes.
The woman has a slim figure and is of average height. She has long turquoise hair that reaches her waist and blue eyes that are distinctively slanted at a downward angle. She wearing fuchsia lipstick on her prominent lips. Most of her hair is down with her bangs covering her forehead while some of her hair is held up by pins in an elaborate bun behind her head one on each side of her head shaped like a pink rose with a gold dangler.
She's wearing a pink furisode kimono with purple flower designs along the sleeves and the bottom.
The man has bandages covering most of his face and arms. He has sharp, slanted eyes with blue pupils. His blonde hair is bound in a ponytail, and he's wearing a red violet kimono with yellow sickle-shaped patterns placed on it irregularly, as well as a dark violet obi around his waist and a cape that both have target patterns on them.
Kamazo.
Zoro dashed over and blocked an attack saving the woman and kid. They then started clashing several times before Zoro was stabbed with a scythe. Zoro pulled it out, put it in his mouth, then had Haki come off him and cover the blades before crossing them and dashed at Kamazo. "Santoryu: Rengoku Oni Giri! (Three Sword Style: Purgatory Ogre Cutter!)"
He then sliced through the man as he dashed as well having him fall to the ground before falling as well.
Later, Zoro woke up in a small house where the woman revealed she was Momonosuke's sister, Hiyori. And Zoro reveals he's helping Momonosuke by taking out Kaido and Orochi.
Udon Prison Later.
Naruto in his samurai armor dropped down with Hyogoro. After escaping they came across Raizo with Caribou before Hyogoro remembered there was one of the Nine Scabbards imprisoned that they needed to rescue. Only to blink as he saw the destroyed yard outside ad the buildings.
"I thought you'd be back."
Turning, Naruto saw a fishman behind him. He's a large Japanese puffer fish-man whose appearance could be mistaken for that of a kappa. As such, he has webbed hands and light yellow-green skin. Being almost as tall as Raizo at 271 cm, a round body, two blush marks on his cheeks, a beak-like mouth, and extremely long and wild orange hair.
He's wearing a green kimono, a red cape, tan sandals, a yellow sash tied around his waist, and a large tan kasa with a dark diamond shape at its top.
Kawamatsu.
"Naruto!"
Naruto then turned to see Chopper, and Kiku run over. "Oh oi (Hey) guys." Naruto nodded as they stopped by him. "Why are you all here?" He asked having them explain Big Mom followed the scent of red bean soup and fought Queen before getting her memory back. And feel down from being hit on the head and was just taken away. "Oh, son of a bitch. Now there's two here?" He asked before seeing guards run up to them. "Let's go!"
They all dashed as Naruto dropped several large smoke bombs to attack the guards quickly.
Later, after taking the prison with Tama using her powers to 'tame' the animal SMILEs fruit users, they came to see Luffy training to use Haki like Rayleigh did when showing them as yellow energy covered his black arms for a second before three men and a woman walked up.
The first is a large man with light-colored hair, with two braids at the front of his face and bells at the end of them. He has thin whiskers and a large scar over his right eye
Omasa.
The next is a thin man with a long face and light-colored hair. He has a signature double chonmage, while the rest of his hair falls down his face, covering his right eye. He has a sinister grin and a twig in his mouth.
Tsunagoro.
The woman is an average-sized woman with fair skin and dark indigo hair that is arranged in an exaggerated Tōrōbin Shimada that resembles a butterfly, but also has some of her curly hair loose and covering her right eye. She has simple lavender flower tattoos on her right shoulder and upper arm. She also appears to wear mascara and lipstick.
She's wearing a white furisode with burning mitsudomoe designs on the sleeves and along the bottom. She keeps her right arm out of her sleeve, letting it hang loose on her obi. She also binds her breasts with sarashi.
O-Cho.
The next man is an average size man, with long dark purple wavy hair and thick sideburns. His mustache and beard form a circle around his mouth. He has thick lips, a thin nose, and a circular scar over his right eye.
Yatappe.
"Those are bosses from different regions!" Hyogoro exclaimed as they walked up. "I did not know they were here!"
They explained how happy they were to see Hyogoro before explaining they'll get allies to help them and walked away.
Zoro And Hiyori.
Zoro met back up with Gyukimaru with Hiyori to finish their duel before Kawamatsu walked up. Hiyori ran up after seeing Kawamatsu alive. Suddenly, six members of the Beasts Pirates arrive on the scene having Kawamatsu tell Hiyori to step back. Kawamatsu explains that Kaido is still hunting for the remnants of the Kozuki Family before quickly taking them out.
Hiyori worries if he got hurt in the process to which he laughs and explains that he's all right. He then explains that more enemies might come there, and he proposes to get away from this place. Kawamatsu, then, offers her a back ride as it is hard to walk around in the snow. She replies, while pouting, that she isn't a child anymore to which he says that adults do not get pouty.
As they are walking away, they talk about their memories. Hiyori asks Kawamatsu why is he here. Kawamatsu starts answering by saying, after she had disappeared, he made his way there on mundane business. Just like the neighboring region Hakumai, the northern region of Ringo was governed by the Shimotsuki Clan which was famous for their toughness.
The Daimyo's name was Shimotsuki Ushimaru. He was a master swordsman who was always seen with a company of a fox. However, as with the fate of other regions, Ringo was destroyed by Kaido. Kawamatsu then asks Hiyori if she knows about Ringo's tradition of 'Eternal Graves'. She knows that corpses are placed in caskets and they don't decompose for centuries due to the cold.
Kawamatsu remarks that she is right and adds that the grave markers are supposed to be swords as people in Ringo are given swords when they are born, which they will keep till their death to become grave markers so that they will be with their swords for eternity. And that's the reason why they are called Eternal Graves. But because some of them are known as great swords, the threat of grave robbing is a problem.
He explains there was a fox that attacked any robbers that he befriended about 13 years ago and started to steal the swords to use in the upcoming battle. After they hid them underground, Kawamatsu helped the fox fend off any robbers and took their swords before eventually getting arrested for stealing food for them.
They then go back to talk to Zoro where Hiyori tells him that in exchange for leaving Shusui in Wano, she would give him one of her father's swords, Enma. One of the only swords that gave Kaido his scar.
While they talked, they missed Gyukimaru smile before turning into a fox, with his fur and tail having a flaming composition, and his pointy ears have a swirly appearance. His fur is light, with his legs being dark below the knees. He is rather large, appearing to be over half the size of Kawamatsu.
She continues to explain that she and her brother were given is swords before explaining the history of Ryuma and how the people of Wano felt after finding out it was stolen having him accept if he could visit Ryuma's grave as well.
Later, they met up with the others sans Naruto and Luffy where Hitetsu was given Kitetsu II back and presented the Oden's swords to Zoro and Momonosuke.
Enma is a moderately curved Shobu Zukuri-style katana with a lilac and gold color scheme. The tsuba is trefoil-shaped, and each lobe is holed in the middle and thickly ridged. The tsuka is lacquered solid lilac, as is the saya. Both are embellished with simple, golden, five-petaled flower motifs on each side. The kashira and kojiri are matching in appearance, being large with trefoil cutouts to match the tsuba; the kojiri possesses an additional accent, which seems to be a wide, knobbed ring above it.
Like the Kitetsu swords, Enma also possesses an irregular flame-shaped hamon and black no-hi.
Three pieces of cord are present on the sword: one directly above the kashira, another on the saya a short bit below its mouth with two hanging, tufted ends, and yet another cord further below on the saya. Further, a little bandaging is present on the tsuka for better grip.
The second, Ame no Habakiri, is a Shobu Zukuri style katana of medium curvature, its appearance analogous to that of its counterpart, Enma. It's all-light coloration. Its tsuba is the shape of a trefoil, with each lobe thickly ridged. The tsuka appears lacquered, and solid white, and is ridged by a pair of bands directly above the fuchi, as well as one higher up alongside two yet higher, far-apart lines of studs, all parallel.
The kashira is large, based in shape on a cloud motif. The saya has a cord with two hanging, tufted ends a short bit below the tsuba, and is otherwise embellished by a triple set of flower motifs on each side. The kojiri is large with trefoil cutouts on each side matching the tsuba and is accented by a wide, knobbed ring above it.
He explains that Oden has been the only one to weld Enma due to the sword taking too much of the wielder Haki to cut more than intended. Zoro takes the sword ad walked to the cliff where a lone tree was. He adds Haki to his arm and then slices the tree having the arm that held it shrink drastically and slices the cliff edge as well.
Several days go by before Chopper an up with Tama, Luffy, and Naruto on him before Naruto was tackled by his wives/girlfriend. "Oi! (Hey!) Missed you."
"If we didn't have a fight I would be taking you to the nearest room!" Nojiko said with the others mirroring her statement.
"We still have several days left before the raid," Tama spoke up. "If you're tired you can sleep all you…" She trailed off as Nojiko pulled Naruto into the house as the others followed. "… Want."
The Day Before The Raid.
Kin'emon bid farewell to the Crew as he and the samurai left to get ready. As they left, the others made a grave marker for Pedro as Hitetsu found Zoro training and explains that Kitetsu was made by him and that Enma follows the same rule as cursed blades: The Weak cannot wield them. And that Enma and Wado were created by the same sword-smith, Shimotsuki Kozaburo who illegally left 50 years ago.
And that may be the reason Hiyori gave Zoro her father's sword. He finished explaining that Enma isn't a Kokutō (Black Blade) yet.
There are countless smokestacks in this country, and even more unfortunate laborers. Now, silently setting out, are seven Akazaya samurai, one ninja, and one important personage. They step on the dried-up land which crunches like frost in the winter. The sun shines high up in the sky. There are some dark clouds, but the shadow of the nine… Who are in fact not ghosts and who intend to avenge their lord after two decades… Are clearly seen on the ground.
Gather Round! The sky is clear and cherry blossoms flutter in the Flower Capital! The day of the Fire Festival has finally come! Meanwhile, in the shadows, the battle that might sway the fate of the world is about to begin!
LAND OF WANO ACT TWO END.
To Be Continued.

Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.
