A/N: Sorry for the long wait... Another short chapter thanks to the combination of writer's block and the fact I don't like this arc very much... here's the latest chapter...

Chapter 25: Mind Mind Advisor

Ino and Sakura watched the fight from inside…they watched Sanji fight Gin… it looked like Gin was about to win when Sanji threw a cigarette into his face and managed to doge his attack.

"That's good…" sighed Ino in relief.

"Oh great…" said Sakura.

She was pointing to Luffy who diced to attack Don Krieg when he wasn't looking.

"I'll go help…" said Ino, "Mind Mind Advisor!"

"Ino sent her mind into Luffy's body, while her body fell asleep.

Luffy was using the busted mast to run towards Don Krieg… he got his strange gun, shield- thing ready then tossed something into the water… causing a small explosion of water… it prevented Luffy from seeing what he was going to do. That when he saw metal stake come though the water… then he heard a voice.

"Left…"

Luffy listened to the voice.

"Right!" said the voice.

Luffy listened to the voice.

"Matrix…" said the voice.

Luffy did that thing where he ducked while leaning backwards. With that Luffy managed to avoid all the stakes that were being shot at him.

"Thanks… but who are you…" thought Luffy.

"Ino… I'm testing out a new ability I came up with…" said the voice who turned out to be Ino.

"Cool!" thought Luffy, "So what are you doing exactly?"

"I'm helping you fight him… I'll make sure to tell you when to dodge and if there's an opening…" said Ino, "Because I don't think you can see it…"

"Thanks!" thought Luffy.

Luffy took a breath… and yelled "Hey! I thought you wanted to fight!"

Don Krieg just chuckled and began a speech about military might… both Luffy and Ino tuned out.

"So your definitely going to be my cook?" asked Luffy.

"Yeah…" replied Ino, "Though I'm just an okay cook... and my fighting abilities are mostly defensive, tactical and spying…"

"Cool…" thought Luffy.

"Aren't you paying attention to me!" yelled Don Krieg.

"No way!" said Luffy making a face at him.

"Finish him Gin!" yelled Don Krieg.

Luffy (and Ino) turned around and saw Sanji bruised, bloody and beaten...

"Sanji…" said Ino quietly.

The continued to fight even if though it looked Gin was going to win… Sanji managed to get a good hit… but he could the handle the shock from his own attack. Sanji doubled over in pain. This cause Krieg's men (who were just floating around in the water for fear that Sakura would return) laughed… began Sanji was lying on the ground Gin managed to get Sanji to finish up a move… however… he began to cry.

"I can't do it!" he yelled, "I can't kill the first person who was ever so kind to me!"

"Luffy… this is going to end badly…" said Ino.

Luffy only nodded…in agreement.

Meanwhile in his mind Naruto sighed… Kyubi chuckled.

"I think Luffy knows what it's like having a voice inside his head…" said Kyubi.

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.

"That girl went into his head is helping him…" said Kyubi.

"Cool…" said Naruto, "Can I come out now?"

"No…" said Kyubi bluntly.

"Oh man…" whined Naruto.

Back outside… all of Don Krieg's men were shocked at the "Sudden Betrayal" surprised that the man that was known for his cruel ways would refuse to kill someone… Don Krieg was going use his most powerful weapon a poison gas bomb… all of Krieg's men had gas masks even Gin… but Gin listened to Don Krieg and threw his into the ocean.

"Let's get into the restaurant now!" yelled Patty.

He and Carne carried Zeff into the restaurant… with Kakashi fallowing them…

"Luffy we have to get to him before he launches it…" said Ino.

"I know…" thought Luffy.

Luffy once again ran towards Don Krieg… he of course shot the spikes towards him… which Luffy dodged thanks to Ino. This angered Don Krieg… how began to break the mast he used a bridge as it began to sink. Luffy ran back to the special deck…

"Great…" said Ino, "We couldn't even get close to him…"

Luffy saw the some of Krieg's men wearing the masks.

"All right!" thought Luffy.

Luffy grabbed the gas mask from tow the men.

"Catch!" he told Sanji and Gin.

Luffy turned back so he can get one for him (and Ino).

"Their gone!" yelled Luffy.

"Oh man…" said Ino that's when one appeared next to Luffy.

Don Krieg sent out the bomb which exploded in a purple fog.

Meanwhile… Naruto waited by the cage inside his head… he was getting very impatient…

"Hey kit…" said Kyubi.

"What?" said Naruto.

"I'm letting you wake up now…" said Kyubi.

"It's about time…" said Naruto.

Naruto began to wake up to find Sakura and Kakashi near the window while Patty and Carne were helping Zeff put on a new peg leg… he also saw Ino unconscious.

"What's going on?" asked Naruto approaching the window.

"Don Krieg just used a poison gas bomb…" said Kakashi.

"Is Luffy okay?" asked Naruto.

"We can't tell…" said Sakura, "The gas is covering everything…"

"Don't worry kit… he, the girl inside him and the kickass cook is fine… that guy Gin… well…" said Kyubi, "If he survives I'll be really surprised."

Luffy (and Ino) were lucky that they found that mask. They waited for the poisonous fog to clear by talking.

"So you think Naruto's okay?" asked Ino.

"If he's not healed up by now then I think the fox is keeping him unconscious… wouldn't be the first time…" thought Luffy.

"It's happened before?" asked Ino.

"Yes it has… and please… don't ask…" thought Luffy.

"Okay…" said Ino.

The fog finally cleared after a few minute…

"You know Luffy… I don't think that mask was just lying around…" said Ino.

"What do you mean?" thought Luffy.

"Get off me!" they heard Sanji.

Luffy turned around and he and Ino gasped… Gin was over Sanji… forcing Sanji to wear the mask…

"Where your mask?" asked Luffy.

"He… threw his mask to you…" said Ino with her voice shaking.

Gin collapsed as he began cough up blood. Don Krieg just laughed at the sight…

"Gin…" said Sanji.

Luffy glared at the man… he was extremely angry with this man…

Next time: Luffy (and Ino inside his body) face off agaisnt Don Kreig once and for all... what will happen? Will Naruto help out? Who will win? Can Luffy beat him? Can you find Panda Man? All these questions... (Well maybe not the Panda question) will be answered next time...
