A/N: Sorry for the long wait... I have writer's block with this story... (I don't like the Kreig Arc very much...) but there's the latest chapter...
Chapter 21: Fighting: Cooking Style
Don Krieg's men were getting ready for a fight… no one questioned Don Krieg… because one guy did and he was shot…
"Their pretty worked up… so this should fun!" said Naruto.
"Maybe you'll get knocked into the sea and I can take over again…" said Kyubi.
"Like that would happen…" thought Naruto.
"So do we have a deal?" asked Luffy to Zeff
"I couldn't' ask for a better deal… if you stayed a whole year my ship would be a wreck…" said Zeff.
Ino just heard Sanji order the hidden deck to be raised.
"Hey Ino… Who do you want for your body guard?" asked Sanji.
Ino smirked… "I have the perfect person…" said Ino, "Forehead girl!"
Sakura turned around and said "What?"
"I need you to be my body guard…" she said.
"You need a body guard…" said Sakura.
"How pathetic…" said Inner Sakura laughing.
"It's complicated I'll explain it to you on the way… I'm just glad I don't need to explain Devil Fruits…" said Ino.
Ino grabbed and Sakura dragged her to the restaurant.
"Hey I didn't agree to it yet…" said Sakura.
"How is she doing this?" asked Inner Sakura.
Meanwhile Luffy used Gum Gum Rocket fallowed by Gum Gum Giant Sickle, a huge close line, this took out a lot of Krieg's men.
"Way to go Chore Boy!" cheered one of the cooks.
"All right bro!" cheered Naruto.
Luffy landed on a pole… however.
"Kit… I think he's stuck…" said Kyubi.
"Yeah…" thought Naruto with a sweat drop.
"Naruto… before things really get started…" said Kakashi walking up to him.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"You know if you fall in the water he might take over your body… right?" asked Kakashi.
"Yeah… but he's taken over my body before and he didn't hurt any of my friends… and he's mellowed over the years… other than taking out the crew the worst I think he'll do is steal you book… I wouldn't put it past him to do that… he's such a pervert…" said Naruto.
"Kit…" said Kyubi in an angry way.
Kakashi sweat dropped, "That's good to know… I think…" said Kakashi.
"That's it… I won't teach you another trick until after we get to the Grand Line… and knowing this crew this won't be for a while…" said Kyubi.
"Aww…" whined Naruto who was hopping to at least one new trick from Kyubi before they got to the Grand Line.
The ship's fish head relived itself to be a small boat on its own… one that launched bombs… which was being driven by Patty and Carne.
"Whoa!" yelled Naruto.
"This is the first time I have ever seen this… and I have to say I'm impressed…" said Kakashi.
Then something else happened to the Barite… a deck came out from under the water.
"Hmmm… cleaver… a fighting deck so the restaurant won't get damaged…" said Kyubi.
Many of Krieg's men got onto the deck… just when the fight was about to really get started… Patty and Carne tried to attack Don Krieg in the Fish boat… he however threw it back the Barite.
"Oh my god!" said Sakura who arrived at the upper deck with Ino.
"I didn't think anyone had that kind of strength…" said Ino.
Sakura sweat dropped… it was best she didn't tell Ino just yet.
"But it's heading right for us…" said Sakura.
"Don't worry…" said Ino.
Just then Sanji jumped up and kicked the fish boat away from the restaurant. However it landed with a crash on the fighting deck.
Of course Patty and Carne were happy about that… they yelled at him but Sanji calmly responded.
"So you wanted it to hit Ino and that pink haired girl?"
Both looked and saw Ino waving at them…
"No matter if those two are the of greatest military assets… she may the greatest of all them…" said Sanji.
"You're just saying that because you've been her victim…" said Carne suppressing a laugh.
So have I…" sighed Patty.
Carne sweat dropped…
"Oh yeah Ino… you have a target!" called Sanji.
"Nope… I need to explain to Forehead here about my Devil Fruit!" called Ino.
"You ate a Devil Fruit?" asked Sakura.
"Oh I guess I forgot to tell you guys when I was introduced fully to the crew…" said Ino, "I ate the Mind Mind Fruit… it allows me and other minds that I create to possess people… however when I possess a person my body is physically asleep so I need a body guard in case they try to attack me…" said Ino, "And since you look weak…"
"Hey… I'm not weak…" said Sakura.
"Say that to someone else…" said Ino.
"I will get her someday!" yelled Inner Sakura.
"What's worse is that if I miss I can't get back to my body for several minutes." said Ino.
"Then why are you doing this… can't you use something else…" asked Sakura.
"I won't! I want to fight them myself instead of relying on some other mind… he called me a bitch! And he's going to pay!" yelled Ino.
"Okay…" said Sakura with a sweat drop.
"Oh great…" said Ino.
"What?" asked Sakura.
Ino pointed to most of the cooks beaten up.
"When did that happen?" asked Sakura.
"When I was explaining it to you…" said Ino with a sweat drop, "But their all standing still... that's great…"
She placed her hands in a way as if aiming "Mind Mind Possess!" she yelled.
She fainted and Sakura caught her before could fall.
Meanwhile the Don Krieg's men were telling that they could never be beaten… but one of them faltered for a second, a man with a long sword…
"Hey you okay?" asked one of the pirates near him.
Suddenly the pirate began to attack his comrades.
"What are you doing!" yelled Don Krieg.
"Sorry… but this member's no longer in control…" said member.
"What is he doing?" asked Naruto.
"It's Ino…" said Kakashi.
"Ino…" said Naruto.
"She ate Devil Fruit… before I met her…" said Sanji getting into the conversation.
"It's the Mind Mind Fruit… it allows her to possess people…" said Kyubi.
"Whoa…" said Naruto.
"Well… isn't someone going to help me!" yelled the man Ino possessed.
"Oh right…" said Kakashi making some clones.
Kakashi and his clones began to fight, Naruto made some Shadow clones as he hasn't perfected his water clones yet.
When no was paying attention a very powerful member of Krieg's crew arriving on the deck.
"What the hell is that!" yelled Naruto.
"Um…" said Kyubi.
The member a dressed weird… very weird… weird armor decorated with giants pearls. He hit a Kakashi clone and Naruto clone. Of course the man was surprised when one disappeared in a puff of smoke while the other just turned to mud.
"What was that!" yelled the man.
"Well I guess you never dealt with Clone Users before…" said Kakashi.
"What was he raised in the jungle?" asked Naruto sarcastically.
"Well actually Pearl was…" said one of Don Krieg's men who over heard that.
Naruto anime fell.
"It figures he was kit…" said Kyubi.
"Who would have thought…" thought Naruto.
Pearl as the weirdo was called, quickly figured out that if how it took out those that weren't the guys he just hit then he would be able to hurt them… so he knocked out Patty and Carne.
"That guy looks tough…" said the man Ino possessed.
"I don't think I'll be able to read my book now…" sighed Kakashi.
There was an awkward silence.
"Too much information…" said Naruto.
"We'll get rid of the rest of the guys…" said the man Ino possessed.
"She's right…" said Kakashi.
"And your idiot brother is still stuck on that pole…" sighed Kyubi.
"Yeah" thought Naruto with a sweat drop.
They continued to fight, Ino while still possessing the man managed to take out a few who refused to fight their comrade, Naruto and Kakashi managed to take out quite but their clones, however Sanji was the most impressive as he used various kicks that seemed to be almost deadly.
"Cool!" yelled the real Naruto.
This of course made Sanji the opponent for Pearl. Pearl began to boast how invincible he was with his shields and he had never lost a drop in battle… then they began to fight, Pearl used his strange shields to block Sanji's kicks, at that very moment Don Krieg attack Luffy… still on the pole, this sent Luffy flying… Luffy fortunately landed in a somewhat safe spot...he landed on the Baratie's fins… but he landed on the back of Pearl's head… causing Pearl's face to knock into his shield giving him a bloody nose.
"That scared me… I thought I was going to land in the ocean…" said Luffy.
"That's good…" said Naruto whipping his brow.
"Why do I feel like certain doom is heading out way…" said Kyubi.
Pearl looked at the blood… he looked freaked out. Everyone of Don Krieg's crew began to freak by saying "It's not a battle wound" or "It's just a bloody nose"
"Okay… what's going on…" said Naruto.
"Do you think it has to do with bloody nose?" asked Luffy… picking his nose.
"Are you picking your nose…" said the man Ino possessed in a disgusted way.
Pearl began to bang his hand shields like a tambourine… then it started a fire.
"That's bad…" said Naruto.
"Well not quite…" said Kakashi, "I have an idea…"
Those how still able to fight listened to Kakashi's plan…
"That's smart…" said Naruto.
"So you can grantee all of them will be earth and water?" asked the man Ino possessed.
Kakashi nodded, he made a ton of clones. Some of them ran into Pearl… when they collided with him they turned into water putting out the fire… Pearl look utter confused especially when Luffy, Sanji, Naruto and the man Ino possessed destroyed the other Kakashi clones… either reverting them to water or mud… putting out the fire.
"That man put out Peal's flames…" said one of Don Krieg's members.
"Who is he?" asked another.
Kakashi sighed… even though he was a Kage he almost at his limit… kind of… it's complicated…
"He put out my deference…" said Pearl twitching slightly. "Must make more!" He sent out flaming balls of fire.
"Okay this guy is nuts…" said Naruto, "Kakashi can you do anything?"
"Sorry I'm almost tapped out…" said Kakashi.
"What?" said Naruto with a sweat drop.
The flaming balls heading towards the restaurant itself fortunately Zeff appeared in the doorway and kicked them all with his peg leg and at the same time putting them out… everyone was relived and somewhere even amazed.
"Even with one leg that was nothing…" said Zeff.
"Awesome!" yelled Naruto.
"That was really cool!" said Luffy.
Ino on the other hand was look at something…
"Hey! I have an idea!" said Ino.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"You see that mast…" said the man that possessed, "Maybe if we knock it down then maybe it will land on Pearl…"
"I'm on it!" said Luffy, "Gum Gum Pistol!"
He punched the mast, it broke and landed right on Pearl's head knocking him out.
"Good one Ino…" said Sanji.
"Yeah…" said Ino.
"That guy was weird…" said Naruto.
"And an idiot…" said Luffy.
"Takes one to know one…" laughed Kyubi.
"Hold right there… Sanji… Ino…" came a voice behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw Zeff on the ground, his peg leg broken… with some on holding part of his peg leg and a pistol to his head… and that person was… Gin…
"Gin!" yelled Naruto in surprise.
"No…" said the man Ino possessed.
Sanji growled… who would have thought that was going to happen…
