Chapter 24: The Fight Continues
Luffy glared at Gin… he wanted to sock Gin in the face… however something held him back… and it had pink hair…
"Sakura… when did you get here?" asked Luffy realizing the one holding him back was Sakura.
"Well…" said Sakura.
(Flashback)
It was right after Ino refused to go back inside.
"Now you just stay put unless you're going inside… I'm going to help my captain!" said Sakura.
"Whatever… Billboard brow" said Ino.
"Miss Piggy" said Sakura the two glared at each other, then Sakura left to go down stairs.
(End of Flashback)
"You two need help… and since I haven't fought yet I thought I should…" said Sakura referring to the fact that unlike the others she wasn't injured.
"Okay!" said Luffy, "Can you let me go now…"
"I think Sanji should fight Gin…" said Sakura, "No matter what he did to Naruto…"
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"Don't you want to fight Don Krieg?" asked Sakura with a smirk, she knew this will make Luffy change his mind quickly.
"Oh yeah!" said Luffy.
Sakura let go of him…
"So what are you going to do Sakura?" asked Luffy.
"I'm going to take care of the rest…" said Sakura looking at the other crew members.
Much of Don Krieg's crew who was there on the deck still laughed when she said that.
"You little girl are going to take us out? All of us out? That's a laugh…" said one of the men.
Sakura simply walked over to the man who said that and pushed him off the deck… which was quite a feat as the man was pretty far from the ocean…
"Oh my god!" said another of the men.
"Get her…" said another.
Sakura began to fight men… many were punched out, other were kicked, some of them she simply flicked their foreheads of them had the same results flying in the ocean… when she was done everyone stared at her… even Don Krieg.
"How… how did you do that…" said Don Krieg.
"Well ever since I was a little kid I had impossible strength… now one knows why… not even my grandfather and he's a doctor…" said Sakura with a shrug.
"That was so awesome!" yelled Luffy.
"That's impossible! That little girl…" said Don Krieg glaring at Sakura.
With Ino she was in shock… "Who knew Forehead had such amazing strength…" she said in disbelief.
Back on the battlefield, "You have to join my crew!" said Don Krieg.
"Thanks but no thanks… I'm already part of a crew… and that's where I like it…" said Sakura glaring harshly at him, "Luffy I'm going to take care of Naruto… beat up Don Krieg for that offer he just made… okay Luffy…"
"Right!" said Luffy.
Sakura picked up the unconscious Naruto and headed back into the restaurant… earning quite a few stares from the chefs as well as Kakashi.
She laid Naruto down on the ground and sighed… she looked up at the ceiling.
"Can't believe I feel comfortable in a pirate crew…" she said, "After what happened with him…"
She looked towards Naruto… his wounds were healing thanks to Kyubi.
Meanwhile inside of Naruto's mind, Naruto woke up again… he saw he was inside of his mind.
"How come it feels like I was hit by a strange weapon…." said Naruto.
"You were kit…" said Kyubi.
"Oh… so I'm awake… in a way… why did I wake up here?" asked Naruto.
"I don't want you to fight… this is your brother and the cook's fight now…" said Kyubi.
"So your keeping me in here until it's a good time for me to wake up…" said Naruto.
"Yup…" said Kyubi, "This guy is Luffy's rival for the one and only title of King of the Pirates…"
"I know that…" said Naruto.
"Don't worry I'll let you out when the fight gets good, when it looked like your brother is going to win…" said Kyubi.
"You know… your actually being nice to Luffy…" said Naruto.
"That's what you say…" said Kyubi.
Naruto stuck his tongue out at the fox demon who rolled his eyes.
But that was when Naruto realized something with this…
"Wait a second! How would you even know that something happened?" he asked.
"I will just know." Answered Kyubi.
"That's not really a answer…" said Naruto with a sweat drop .
"Too bad. Because that's all you getting." Muttered Kyubi.
Naruto just glared at the fox that was sealed inside of him.
Outside on the battlefield Luffy and Don Krieg were having a fight… of words… Don Krieg asked Luffy twice who was pirate King material… Luffy would answer himself, angering Don Krieg, he even sent out a bomb filled with shuriken… which he claimed was filled with poison gas… which Luffy kicked away, or tried…, Don Krieg was so angry with Luffy… in the end it was decided that he would kill Luffy himself.
"Don Krieg… I would like to ask…" said Gin ocher to his captain.
"Kill the cook yourself? Go ahead…" said Don Krieg who was more furious with Luffy then anything else.
"Sanji… because you saved our live I will be the one who will kill you…" said Gin.
"Whatever…" said Sanji.
"You want to fight I'll give you one!" said Luffy.
Inside the restaurant Sakura watch out the window.
"So nothing's going on?" asked a voice behind.
"So piggy you finally came inside…" said Sakura.
It was indeed Ino, she thought the poison bomb was real so she ran inside.
"Do you think he can beat Don Krieg?" asked Ino.
"I do…" said Sakura.
"He might need some help…" said Ino, "Mentally not physically…"
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura.
"I've been experimenting with my powers recently I came up with a new move… but I'm unsure if will transfer the injuries to me…" said Ino.
"What is it?" asked Sakura.
Ino whispered into Sakura's ear.
"It might work… let's hope so…" said Sakura.
Ino nodded, she hopped her plan worked too…
