Hello everyone, I hope you like this third chapter of the Naruto Vs. Hody fight and I apologize if it seems to be rushing as I wanted to get this out in my day off.

Hope to hear from you on your thoughts of this third part chapter as well as if you didn't know, Naruto and the Sacred Gear finally ended after years from four to almost five years, wonder when this will end tho hopefully I don't end this short or cancel it from lack of ideas or not feeling it anymore.
Chapter 40: Naruto Versus Hody Jones Part 3 Final
LAST TIME
"By doing this, I'll suffer from the side effects for awhile for going over my limit but in exchange..." As he thought that, far from him his water clone vanished and with it his eyes shot open to reveal the left eye changing yet again with dark blue markings spreading over his body once again, causing Hody's eyes to widen in more shock yet he swims right for Naruto in a hurry.
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK THIS IS—" He froze when he saw something appearing behind Naruto, it was the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon.
"What is—" He was merely silenced as it unleashed a massive barrage of light blue punches that slammed into Hody repeatedly none stop, preventing him from dodging as the fists continued.
"WTF IS THIS?!" Hody thought in anger, only relieved when it finally stops but his eyes widen to find Naruto directly in front of him with his left arm drawn back.
"Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style, Fist of the Raging Sea's Tenth Trigram." As he said it, Hody swung as fast as he could but it was too late as a black and white yin and yang symbol appeared under Naruto's feet as his arm was covered by a black and white Chinese dragon. Faster then Hody could move the fist slams directly into his Hody's stomach, causing him to vomit out blood as he floated backward as a fist impression appears on his stomach but before he could move, something slammed into the same spot again, and again, and again, and again. As it continued, it created its own current of Hody screaming in pain as the strength felt as if every punch slightly increased more and more, ending only when he crashed into Noah's deck which caused a large explosion of debris. Seeing this, the serious looking Naruto prepared himself for the final round 3.
CURRENT TIME
As Naruto was about to head towards Noah, he heard someone shout.
"Naruto!" Hearing that, he turns to see Fukaboshi swimming yo to him and immediately hands him a Moshi-Moshi.
"Keep this on you, with it we can hear everything going on!" His words heard a single nod before he swam off directly for the ship which he enters the bubble to land on the tilting Noah right before a hole that was leaking water where Hody was pulling himself out of.
"Let's make this quick, the sooner I defeat you then the sooner Shirahoshi gets the Noah as far from Fishman—" He stops when he heard and saw Hody start to laugh.
"What's so funny?" When he asked that, he got a shocking answer.
"It doesn't matter how far she swims up, the moment Decken dies it's all over!" When he heard that, only confusion could be seen in his face before realization hit him. They were going up the entire time and that if it falls...
"SHIRAHOSHI!" Naruto screamed, causing a shockwave with the sound of his voice that travels throughout the water from miles to miles on end which reaches Shirahoshi who stops to look down at what he needed before freezing at seeing what he wanted her to see. Seeing that, a single nod was all she gave before she immediately starts swimming more forwards them upwards, redirecting the ship which alerted Hody.
"THAT DAMN MERMAID!" Hody shouts as he was about to go after her at seeing she's about to get away when his attention was drawn towards a raging metallic water dragon, causing Hody to aim his left arm at it.
"WEAK FORCE!" With those words, he destroys it but something moves through it just as Hody found a fist being slammed into his face, courtesy of the serious Naruto.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?!" Naruto demands the angered Fishman who jumps back as the two were still sticking to the deck of the ship that was still heading upwards but was already changing positions.
"DAMN YOU HOSHIGAKI!" Hody shouts as he throws a punch just like Naruto but as the two swung, Hody quickly shouted "Friction + Inertia" with that, Naruto's fist simply slips off of Hody who lands a punch on Naruto's head but instead of solidness, he found his head exploding into water just as Hody a haki covered fist slams into the Fishman's stomach, causing his mouth to open at the strength of the punch just as Naruto's head starts to reassemble from water.
"Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style, Stomp of Wave." With that said, he stomps his left mechanical leg on the ground that causes all the water in the air too offset the balance of Hody who was pushed back but due to the size of his body the miniature metallic aqua bullets didn't work. As Hody was pushed back, he watched Naruto enter a stance again.
Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style, Dance of the Sea Kings." With those words, he unleashes an incredibly fast combo of punches and kicks that penetrates through the Hody's defenses, resulting in multiple areas being hit at a far greater speed the Fishman could move it, resulting in him coughing out blood as he skids back from the strength of the hits as he was in an incredible amount of pain but the moment that happened, things took a turn for the worst. It was then that Noah had stopped moving completely before reversing direction, back down. Seeing this, Naruto, the Three Prince's, Shirahoshi, and Hody's eyes widen at feeling and seeing the ship start to fall.
"Decken's dead." Spoke the wide-eyed Naruto who caused Hody to smile at seeing that Naruto had failed in stopping Noah that will be the beginning of a new Fishman Island once it crashes.
"Ahahahahahah, it seems you've failed!" The smiling Hody said to the wide-eyed Naruto who was on high alert.
"The Fishman Island...IS IN DANGER!" Fukaboshi shouted much to his sister's absolute horror, unlike Hody who smiles psychically.
"A NEW FISHMAN ISLAND WILL BECOME REALITY!" Hody shouted as he starts to laugh hysterically just as Naruto brought his arms back before he shouts.
"WATER SLICER!" Naruto shouts as he sends multiple metallic scythe-like blades of water at Hody who destroys them with ease as he just smiles.
"Why...WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS HODY?! WHAT DID HUMANS DO TO YOU THAT MADE YOU BECOME LIKE THIS, HUH?!" Naruto demanded the crazed smiling Hody who answers, that ingle word he gave Naruto had chilled him to the bone.
"Nothing." The moment he had said that Naruto and the Prince's froze as they couldn't believe he had just said that.
"Humans did nothing to me, not one terrible thing." When Naruto heard that, he just takes a few steps back as he couldn't believe he's hearing such a thing, unlike Fukaboshi who was wide-eyed at realizing what he meant.
"We were chosen by heaven to punish humans...and granted powers!" Hody told the shocked Naruto who just stares at him in shock as the two just stood there.
[So that's it...]
When Naruto and Hody heard that, the two blink in surprise and look up to see Fukaboshi high above the water bubble they were in as he held a Moshi-Moshi that was replaying his voice through the one Naruto was given.
[Everyone! I found out who Hody Jones really is! Hody is...a monster who was brought to life by our environment!]
When Naruto heard that, his eyes narrowed as he thought about the Queen having been killed and how Fisher Tiger died, both causing more flames of hatred to burn from within the citizens of Fishman Island.
[The New Fishman Pirates are a group of monsters created from an ancient grudge! Their hatred is...not rooted in their experience or true beliefs. They have no substance! They are completely "empty"! It was too late! I don't know when but we lost contact with the Fishman District and they've become something like an isolated, dark side of the Fishman Island! We pretended not to see the twisted hatred building up in that lawless ditch...in front he deep water! I filled my mother's shoes and collected signatures but I was only dealing with superficial matters. But I thought I was making a progress! IT WAS TOO LATE! PEOPLE LIKE THEM ARE THE ONES THAT MY MOTHER FEARED THE MOST! We should have fought within ourselves first! We should have fought our own feelings toward humans! Mother was...MOTHER WAS KILLED BY THE GRUDGE GROWING ON THE FISHMAN ISLAND! Maybe she knew it!]
Hearing those words, Hody grew annoyed as he didn't want to hear it.
"SILENCE FUKABOSHI!" Hody shouted at the Prince who was floating outside the ships reach as he held a Moshi-Moshi in order to speak to the people.
(Racism is screwing up both sides...I mean...there are many humans and Fishmen who were once uncorrupted by this world. Fisher Tiger and Otohime...there beliefs may have been different yet they followed it to there graves. Fisher Tiger wanted too separate the Humans and Fishmen while Otohime wanted too bring them together. I'm a half-breed of the Strongest Fishmen having ever been born and become a Yonko as well as a Celestial Dragon...I don't exactly know what happened and how I was born but...)
(How is it that I can clearly see that both sides aren't so different, why can't the Humans and Fishmen actually focus on that for once? Why can't both sides fully see that we are closely the same? Why can't they understand that WHY CAN'T SOMETHING THAT'S COMPLETELY OBVIOUS TO THEM BE SO HARD TO SEE?!)
(I'm the only person in this world, who can actually bring them together because I'm part Fishmen and part Human...)
(I've decided...when I become Yonko, I'll complete both of there Dreams. I'll bend Fate and Destiny with these hands of mine...AND MAKE THEM SEE THROUGH MY ACTIONS THAT A HYBRID OF BOTH SPECIES CAN BECOME A TRULY GREAT PERSON! I'LL MAKE THEM SEE, NOT WITH JUST WORDS THAT WILL TRIKE A CORD DEEP WITHIN THERE HEARTS BUT ALSO THROUGH MY ACTION'S THAT WILL RESHAPE THIS WORLD!)
Naruto's hands slowly turn into fists while Hody grits his teeth in anger at seeing he was being ignored just before the Prince continues speaking.
[But a part of me held that resentment and hated humans for killing my mother! Dead people take their regret to the the grave. So a grudge is an illusion that the living create and they alone cultivate it! Because I hated humans, even a bit, I overlooked the resentment in the Fishman District and when I finally noticed, it had become too powerful and beyond control! If nothing is done, the Fishman Island will...destroy itself through our own hatred toward humans! Naruto! Please! WE DON'T NEED THE PAST! RESET OUR HISTORY TO ZERO! WIPE OUT THOSE PHANTOMS WHO SHUT THE ISLAND AWAY FROM THE SUN! BRING THE FISHMAN ISLAND BACK...TO ZERO!]
Hearing that being said, Hody charges at Naruto full speed as he draws his left arm back while he spoke.
"Shut up, Fukaboshi! The Fishmen's grudge will last forever! I WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL THEY ARE ALL ERADICATED! WEAK—" As Hody tried to say while he swung his arm, he found Naruto was no longer their but instead had dodged by preforming a dodge an by ducking to the ground. What Hody saw was Naruto performing a 180° spin sweep kick that is parallel to the deck aimed at Hody's feet that resulted in him finding himself spinning in the air just before a fist slams into his stomach that sent him spinning back all the while Naruto took out the Moshi-Moshi he was handed before he spoke.
"Fukaboshi...don't worry. This is my fathers home so it's my home as well, I won't let anything happen to it." As he spoke, he didn't realize that the panicking had started to calm down as many heard him speak.
"After all, I decided when I become a Yonko, I'll complete both of their Dreams. Tho it will be difficult as Fisher Tiger and Otohime had different dreams, yet past that they wanted what was best for Fishman Island. So, I've decided that I would not only protect Fishman Island from any threat outside it but also erase the long hated grudge that's been driving away Humans and Fishman. After all, I'm part human and part Fishman, born from Hoshigaki D. Kisame and Kushina Uzumaki, a Celestial Dragon. So I say this again, I WILL protect Fishman Island and I WILL end this long overdue grudge, and that's a promise of a lifetime!" With that said, he puts away the Moshi-Moshi all the while a pissed off Hody was getting back up while the damage made to Noah showed signs of leakage of water from inside the air bubble.
"DID YOU THINK A WEAK ATTACK LIKE THAT WOULD—" Hody froze when he was suddenly overcome with a sense of fear, what he saw was Naruto having started to crouch a little, confusing him as he moves his right leg forward.
"The left Hand of God, The Right Hand of the Devil. Let me show you, the Kick of the Leviathan." As he spoke those words, his leg began to unleash a dark blue aura that took the shape of a massive serpent like Chinese dragon that grew behind him, growing more and more in size much to the shock of Hody who just stares at it while Naruto Sage King mode deactivates with blood leaking from his mouth due too going past his limits limit. Almost immediately Hody points the arm at Naruto as he shouted.
"WEAK—" He stopped once again after seeing an image of Kisame behind Naruto and behind Kisame was a shadowed figure, all three moving in sync as they swung their right legs all the while Naruto spoke.
"Final attack, Fishmen Karate: Naruto Style, Kick of the Leviathan." With those words, Hody was slammed into by the Leviathan that proceeded to crash into Noah before going berserk, moving around wildly like a caught in the center of a rampaging serpent that was causing massive damage to the Noah, but more so damage to Hody who was repeatedly hit none stop by the beast of destruction's body who slammed into him, throws him through the Noah's floors, and so on as if toying with the villain until it ends with him behind the Noah where it crashed into him one final time, proceeding to crash directly through Noah and out the other end right towards Fishman Island where many saw a massive serpent like dragon crashing into the already damage rock formation with such speed and destruction is looked like a missile had landed nearby with rocks flying everywhere as well as a shockwave being felt by all who saw debris and dust fly past them from the sheer force of the impact. When it slowly started to clear, what could be seen was Hody deep in the earth as he was laying there, immovable.
[HE DID IT! NARUTO HAS BEATEN HODY!]
That simple declaration that was heard throughout Fishman Island caused many cheers from the citizens who also saw the Straw Hats best the Fishman Pirates with one kid causing it all by proclaiming that they had won the battle yet all that was cut short when they saw it.
[Hey... THE NOAH!]
Those words caused the only to panic as a shadow had begun to loom over Fishman Island, showing the still falling and damaged Noah heading directly for the Island, its very sight caused everyone to start running away in fear from Neptune's army and getting crushed while the citizens had started to run and swim full speed to safety, having stayed to watch the fight taking place but it wasn't good enough as the ship had also lost its bubble protection, speeding up its fall of decent.
"Can't you do anything, Hoshigaki?! HOSHIGAKI!"
As one Fishman screamed that, back on Noah was Naruto who had only a few minutes before it crashed, yet he was completely at his limit due to not taking Hody seriously from the very beginning, from using gates to King Sage mode twice, he was at his weakest and was having trouble even standing.
"NARUTO-SAMA!" Shouted Shirahoshi, causing him to look up to see the Princess quickly enter the air bubble but the moment she did, she immediately fell with a scream her before she could hit the deck, Naruto had dived for her which he indeed caught her but no longer had the strength to get up. All she could do was sit up and grab him so she could help him also sit up.
"I reached my limit, as of right now I cannot stop Noah...but I know what can." When he said that, Shirahoshi showed complete shock as she thought about her father and everyone else down there who could already see parts of the Noah falling off from the damage it sustained.
"Tell me, we need to hurry." Shirahoshi asked Naruto who sighs while closing his eyes.
"The Sea Kings can't stop Noah since it lost the bubble it was in and it's already falling, but the Sea Kings "King" can stop it." When Shirahoshi heads that, her eyes widen all the way as they locked eyes.
"I need your help, in summoning the Leviathan. If we do this, he will either Save or Destroy Fishman Island...that's, our only chance." When she heard that, she only remembered how she was told to never ever beg the Leviathan or utter its name, as it is the God of the Oceans and will not take kindly to be talked to by other creatures. Shirahoshi just closes her eyes, thinking about everyone until it ends with her mother coming to mind which she opened her eyes to show a new determination, with a nod the King of the Ocean spoke.
"For this to work, you need to scream with me at the same time...and put everything, all your emotions into it and forcibly activate your Poseidon. If our voices fall in sync, the Leviathan will hear it and pray it doesn't kill us all. Now, take a deep breath on the count of three, repeat what I say"—" As he said it, he closed his eyes before taking a deep breath which she follows suit, as they did so they hadn't even realized they were already synching with one another. As they took in air, the two thought about the ones they cared for with Shirahoshi thinking of her people, his siblings, her father, and her mother while Naruto thought of the Marines he knew back when he was apart of it, then his crew, then Juvia, before it finally ends with a red-haired woman sitting in bed, appearing to be very ill before she turns to Naruto with a smile.

"LORD LEVIATHAN! PLEASE, STOP THE NOAH FROM FALLING!" As the two screamed in sync it created a massive shockwave that spreads through tall directions in that instant a seeable vibration traveled throughout the sea and with it, in the deepest part of the ocean a single eye opened up to reveal a black sclera with a blood red circle in the middl bearing a reverse pentagram as its pupil right before it started to vibrate from moving. While this was happening, the Noah was a few miles above the Island as many watched in shock along with King Neptune unable to watch as he looks down, knowing its about to crash and he could do nothing but watch until...nothing...a minute goes by and nothing happened.
"My God..." When King Neptune heard that, slowly he looks up to see what was happening before that fear turned to utter, absolute shock at what he was seeing, trying to process it while everyo Fishfolk and pirate just stare, those who even thought about doing crime had lost the will to do so with Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Robin, Chopper, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe unable to look away from the sight. What they all saw, was a giant serpent so large that it had the Noah in its mouth, appearing to be the very thing that can devour Sea King's. Not only that but stop its head appeared to be horns in the shape of a crown while missing an eye, appearing to have been burned away by something. It was grey in color but running along its back was a massive fin. All over its body were battle scars from fighting "something" yet appeared to be the same injury as the missing eye. It's very body could not be seen but unknown to them it's massive serpent like body was already encircling the island as well as to be even large then both the Island and the Noah. It's gave shifts down to the shocked exhausted Naruto who sat next to and equally shocked Shirahoshi. Seeing them, it's eye narrowed in annoyance before it blinks in shock as it's gaze focuses on Hody in the crater, his arm to be exact. All its single eye did be overlook everything, everyone's reactions in an instant, the battlefield, the weapons, everything which it came to understand that it summons was indeed an emergency.
"InTeReStInG." Spoke the Leviathan who's voice rang through the sea as if its voice vibrates everything as it found it quite interesting that the arm of the man he knew from the past was being used for such a reason as puny as this.
"The Leviathan saved us all." When Naruto said that, almost immediately its gaze focused on him as it showed annoyance which Naruto immediately bowed his head.
"I AM SORRY MY KING FOR SUMMONING YOU—" He was cut off by the serpent who spoke with the ship in its mouth, clear enough so they could hear it.
"Do NoT adDrEsS bY tHaT nAmE hE gAvE mE! My NaMe Is NoT lEvIaThAn...!" When Naruto heard that, his eyes widen all the way before it spoke even louder as the two held their ears as its voice became so loud, not only did the ship shook a lot but all of Fishman Island heard it speak.
"I AM JÖRMUNGANDR!" When it said that, Naruto was just confused as he didn't know what that meant, unlike Shirahoshi, during her years in her room she had read very old books and one of them holding the Leviathan's first name, Jörmungandr the World Serpent of the Blue Sea.
