A/N: Sorry for the long wait... like I said before... I really don't like the Don Kreig Arc... fortunately this is the last chapter with the fight... then the chapter that wraps up that arc and opens up the Arlong Arc (which I like!)... well since it's been a long time I have double good news! Over 40,000 hits and 200 reviews! Hurray! And hopefully the next chapter won't take forever...
Oh and one more thing this chapter is dedicated to FictionReader98, he wrote an awesome story in inspired by the Biju Biju Fruit called Quest to be the Greatest! It's one of the best One Piece Naruto crossovers I have ever read!
Once again... sorry that it took a while for this chapter to come out...
Chapter 26: Military Might? Yeah Right!
Luffy glared at Don Krieg… he really hated the man. The man continued to laugh as Gin laid there coughing up blood.
"You felt sorry for that piece of rubbish…" laughed don Krieg.
Luffy (as well as Ino) and Sanji glared at the man.
"How could he…" whispered Ino.
That's when Kakashi, Carne, Patty, Sakura and Naruto entered the deck. Kakashi walked up to Sanji who was holding Gin.
"Slip the mask on him… it might give him some air…" said Kakashi.
"Right…" said Sanji who put the mask on him, "Hey you two… we have some antidote left right!"
"But that's only for food poisoning!" yelled Patty.
"Go get it!" ordered Zeff joining Naruto and Sakura, "And put him on the upper deck…"
"Don't die Gin…" said Luffy, "Don't let that jerk kill you! Live to spite and I'll send him flying for you!"
"Don't do it… he'll kill you…" said Gin weakly.
"Hey don't underestimate my brother!" said Naruto walking up to them.
"Naruto! You're okay!" said Luffy.
"Yeah… but I don't think I can help you fight him… fuzzy might do something if I get involved…" said Naruto.
"Fuzzy!" yelled Kyubi.
Luffy only laughed as he tossed his hat towards his brother, he ran towards Don Krieg aiming for a fight…
"Stop it now! He's only going to kill you!" yelled Sanji.
"I won't die!" called Luffy back.
"Luffy…" said Ino, "Um… I think it's best if you turn around... I'm not close enough to my body to return to it…"
Luffy didn't listen… the reason Ino wanted to returned was… well she knew Luffy was going to be suborn…. He ran towards Don Krieg who threw bombs in to the water making a huge splash and blinded Luffy with water… once again shot at Luffy with the stakes… Ino gave her instructions where to doge but this time… he didn't listen…
"You jerk! I need to be in a certain range to get my body… and you're not in it… I don't know if I'm injured or not!" yelled Ino.
Of course Luffy didn't listen… he continued to run towards Don Krieg… how pull out a cape covered in spikes. Which Luffy decided to punch.
"Great…" said Ino.
Luffy did punch him… even if he did get hurt by the spikes and bleeding he punched Don Krieg good. This surprised everyone.
"All right Luffy!" cheered Naruto.
"I'm going to check on Ino's body… see if she has any injures…" said Sakura with a sweat drop.
"Hey pinkie… bring her out…" said Zeff.
"Why do I felt like I'm missing something…" said Sanji.
"Ino's helping him mentally… but I don't think he's listening anymore…" said Zeff with a chuckle.
"Ino used that move she's been working on to help Luffy…" said Kakashi.
"She still doesn't know what sort of injuries she'll receive…" said Sanji with a sweat drop.
"When Luffy's motivated there's no stopping him!" said Naruto with his fox like grin.
"What if accidentally kills Ino?" asked Kakashi.
Naruto still had his grin but he also had a huge sweat drop.
"He right you know…" sighed Kyubi.
"I still don't think he can win…" said Sanji.
Luffy walked up to the currently unconscious Don Krieg… he took out one of the steaks that was embed in his arm and took it out.
"You said it was my grave… but it's not… I'm not going to die here…" said Luffy.
"That guy is crazy…" said Sanji.
"Tell me about it…" mutter Kyubi even though Sanji couldn't hear him…
"Well I guess that's just who he is… I've seen people do even crazier things…" said Kakashi.
"Watch him closely Sanji…" said Zeff.
"Why?" said Sanji.
"Once in a while there is a fool with his sights set something, won't quit fighting until he dies…" said Zeff.
"Won't quit fighting…" said Sanji.
"It's can be pretty annoying to fight someone like that…" said Kakashi.
"Whether he wins or loses… I admire him…" said Zeff.
Sakura came out on deck… holding Ino's Unconscious body.
"I brought Ino-Pig… she is injured… just not by much…" said Sakura bring out Ino's unconscious form, "Just tiny pin pricks that's all…"
"That's good…" said Kakashi.
"Unless Luffy manages to get close enough to Ino's body then she's in for a wild ride…" said Zeff.
"Being the body of an idiot with no control and you might die… when things are back to normal… tell Ino for me I know how she feels…." said Kyubi.
"Hey…" muttered Naruto.
In the fight Don Krieg got up… and hit Luffy with his shield, shot Luffy with something but Luffy somehow dodged, went behind and kicked him in some way, sending Don Krieg to the ground.
"All right Luffy!" cheered Naruto.
"Wow…" said Sakura.
"He's da man!" yelled Inner Sakura.
Sanji didn't say anything... just watched…
"Good job Luffy… can you get to my body now…" said Ino.
But that's when Don Krieg got up and put his tow shields together … then somehow caused an explosion… which made Luffy (and Ino) grab hold of a part of the ship, when the smoke cleared they saw Don Krieg wielding a strange spear… apparently his "Mighty Battle Spear" after going on about the spear he sung it at Luffy… which caused an explosion that sent Luffy flying…. Fortunately Luffy grabbed a nearby piece of deck.
"What kind of weapon is that? It keeps blowing up…" said Luffy.
"I don't know… but be careful…" said Ino.
Don Krieg kept coming at them with the Battle Spear and Luffy did his best dodge… that's when he dodged by grabbing on to the spear and hanging onto it…
"That was close…" said Luffy.
With the spectators they continued to watch and Sakura noticed something about Ino's body.
"Ino's body is getting pretty beaten up..." said Sakura, "It's only a fraction of what Luffy's getting but still…"
"Okay I have an idea…" said Naruto turning to his half demon form and picking up Ino's body, "So what the range?"
"Are you sure that will work?" asked Kakashi.
"Hey… I'm half demon in this form… my strength and speed is increased…" said Naruto.
"But your reaction time is still rather slow…" said Kyubi.
"Hey!" thought Naruto.
Naruto carrying Ino, landed on a broken mast and shout "Hey!"
Don Krieg stared at that annoying blonde kid who for some reason had fox ears and 9 tails…
"What do you want?" demanded Don Krieg.
"Oh nothing…" said Naruto.
"Oh I get it…" said Ino.
"What do you mean?" thought Luffy.
"He brought my body closer to me…" said Ino, "See you later and good luck with the fight…"
"By Ino…" thought Luffy.
That's when Ino's mind went back into her body… and she began to wake up.
"Sorry for bothering you!" said Naruto who jumped away.
When he jumped back onto the deck Ino opened her eyes and jumped out of Naruto's arms…
"Finally!" said Ino, "Luffy's insane! He listened to me at first but didn't listen to me later!"
"That's Luffy for you…" said Naruto giving a big grin.
"Is he just as insane?" asked Ino with a sweat drop
"More or less…" said Sakura.
They watched as Luffy was hit twice the by the spear and blown up twice…
"Chore boy!" yelled Sanji.
"Don't worry he's fine…" said Naruto, "There's no way my brother is going to lose to that wind bag!"
That's when the tip of the spear broke off… surprising most…
"It's just a bomb on a stick…" said Luffy, "Without that spear your strength is cut in half…"
Krieg began another long winded speech… he pointed out that Luffy was badly injured before he was hurt by the spear… and that now he couldn't take any more hits…
"Krieg's right…" said Sanji.
"What just because Don Krieg has many weapons?" asked Kakashi, "It doesn't matter… what weapons a person have…"
"He's right…" said Naruto.
"A clone user is considered to be the strongest type of fighter…" said Kakashi, "Clone users don't have big weapons or a whole arsenal… in fact most clone users don't even use guns… Clone Users use their natural strength most the time… and most physical clones aren't even in equal strength with the user… the reason why they're the strongest is because of determination… and that determination can stand up against a whole arsenal… Luffy may not be a Clone User but he has the determination of one…"
"You know… I had my own speech…" said Zeff looking at the Namikage.
"Sorry…" said Kakashi.
"Like I keep saying… there's no way my brother will lose to him!" said Naruto.
Kakashi looked at Naruto and gave a small smile… well it was under his mask.
Everyone watched as Luffy and Don Krieg fought… it consisted of Luffy punched his armor and Don Krieg using his weapon and dirty tricks on Luffy… Luffy managed to not only crack the armor then break it afterwards…
"No way…" said Sanji.
"Awesome!" yelled Naruto.
As Don Krieg fell to the ground he caught Luffy in an iron net… that's when he managed to get his legs out of it…
"This right it mine!" said Luffy who twisted legs into a corkscrew while stretching…his feet grabbed Don Krieg's face.
"Men kill this pest!" ordered Don Krieg.
All of Don Krieg's men took out crossbows… however that's when ominous music played and the sound of stomping could be heard… all the men turned around and saw an extremely angry Sakura.
"Don't… you… dare…" she growled.
All of them whimpered and either put their crossbows away or began to cry… Sakura was that angry at the moment…
"Where did that ominous music come from?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know…" said Kakashi.
Luffy began to spin Don't Krieg with his legs… then slammed into the deck… effectively knocking him out… With that Luffy defeated Don Krieg… although the downside was that Luffy was still in the net and was just sent into the water…
Next Time: With the fight over everything returns to normal on the Baratie... well almost... even though Ino agreed to join... Luffy still wants Sanji to join... will that happen? And what's going with the chefs? Meanwhile Kakashi and Naruto talk about the 4th Hokage... And what about Nami? What will happen? Find out next time!
