Chapter 45: Bounty Hunter Clash

Whisky Peak… it's town known though out many marine bases an among bounty hunters… a place where everyone in town is a bounty hunter… the men, the women, the children… everyone… it wouldn't be uncommon for say… former bounty hunters or people who has relatives in the Marines to know of Whisky Peak… All of the bounty hunters of the Island looked at the former bounty hunter pair on the rooftop.

"There looks to be about 100 of them." Said Zoro with a smirk.

"So 50/50?" asked Sasuke.

"We'll take you on Baroque Works." Said Zoro.

All the Bounty Hunters froze.

"How do you know?" asked Mr. 9 in shock.

"A while back we used to be Bounty Hunters ourselves." Said Sasuke, "Everyone called us the Demonic Duo, we were offered to join, but we turned it down, I didn't care and this idiot wanted to be leader."

"Did you really have to say that?" asked Zoro.

Sasuke chuckled, "Yes." He said with a smirk.

"Either way, there's total secrecy within your ranks. You even use codenames." Said Zoro, "And of course your boss is a mystery to everyone, who is he is and his whereabouts. You're Baroque Works a bunch of crooks who loyally obey him. Was that supposed to be a secret?"

Two former partners smirked at each other and while the Bounty Hunter horde didn't pay attention the two jumped down from their perch and hid among them.

"Their gone!" yelled Mister 8.

That's of course when they noticed

"So you wanna fight?" asked Zoro with a smile.

"Get serious on this one…" said Sasuke.

"Get them!" yelled a random bounty hunter as many of them aimed towards the pair… shooting at them, however they were gone before they fired.

"They're fast!" said a different random bounty hunter.

Zoro reappeared behind Mr. 8, placing his sword in his hair.

"Show off…" muttered Sasuke leaning against a barrel going unnoticed.

After most of the bounty hunters aimed their attacks at Mr. 8, however during the confusing fray, Zoro managed to get out of the way while Mr. 8 attacked them with a saxophone like gun.

"You know didn't have to show off like that." Said Sasuke.

"What am I supposed to do?" asked Zoro.

"Just fight them, if I wanted a show off I would call Naruto." Said Sasuke.

At very moment at another part of the island Naruto sneezed.

"Great, someone must be talking about me." Said Naruto.

Hinata only giggled then said, "Maybe we should take a break."

"Why do we need to take a break?" asked Naruto.

"Look at the training grounds." Said Kyubi.

Naruto looked at the area, which was covered in craters.

"I guess that would be a good idea." Said Naruto with a laugh.

Both sat down for a rest.

"So Hinata, how do you know about this island again?" asked Naruto.

"Well, it's from mainly a rumor that I heard from Neji and a former friend of mine that's also a Marine, about an island called Whiskey Peak, one of the first islands on the Grand Line that was full of bounty hunters… I never knew if the rumors were true or false until I heard what they said and also the way they acted." Said Hinata.

"It's a good thing you knew." Said Naruto and it was clear he was filled with relief.

"Even if she didn't tell you I would have woken you up anyways, I figure that if Zoro and Sasuke didn't know about it already, I'm sure Nami or Sakura, maybe even both would have figured it out. Not so sure about the others, well expect for Luffy whom I'm sure would never be able to see though this." Said Kyubi.

Naruto sweat dropped at this comment.

"What did he say?" asked Hinata.

"I really don't want to repeat it." Said Naruto.

Back in town the two hid from the bounty hunters.

"You think we should spread out?" asked Sasuke.

"Doesn't matter" said Zoro with a smirk, "Either way this is a good chance to test my new swords."

"Whatever…" said Sasuke.

"There they are!" yelled a voice above them.

Both of them look up and saw a guy with a gun, the two of them parted ways right there, Zoro went into a building while Sasuke jumped up to the roof and kicked the guy in the face.

"What a weakling." Said Sasuke with a scoff, that's when he noticed the rather large group of bounty hunters around him, "Looks like I'm going to have to go all out."

He drew his two swords, and thought "I do need practice with them."

He ran towards the group of bounty hunters, he dashed though the rather large group weaving through them once he passed all of them he sheathed his swords… and every single one of them collapsed in a bloody heap.

"That was too easy." He said.

He felt a point his head, he looked and saw a nun, "Really a nun?" he said.

He fell down to the ground catching himself with his hand and managed to kick her feet falling down on her face and knocking her out in the process. He got up and that's when he heard crying he turned around and saw a bunch of crying children.

"Why did you did you kill Sister Mary… she was a kind woman who would read at the orphanage." Cried a little girl blonde girl with pigtails and freckles.

"Sorry… I didn't kill I just knocked her out!" said Sasuke, "Oh man."

"You're an evil man mister!" said a little boy.

"And that's we have to get your bounty." Said the little blonde girl.

All of the children took out guns, that made Sasuke sweat drop, "What the hell…" he muttered.

"Now surrender!" said a little boy.

"Hey is that Santa Claus, a Leprechaun and the Lollipop King giving away free ice cream and candy?" asked Sasuke pointing in a random direction.

"What?" said all the children.

A minute later all the children were knocked out, "Using children like that." Said Sasuke with a snort, "They chose to mess with the wrong person.

"There he is!" yelled a voice.

Sasuke looked behind him and saw a man with a sword, he punched the man in the chest then kicked the sword away from him, followed by a kick to the head that sent him off the building. The man landed in a rather large crowd of Bounty Hunters, the bounty hunter saw Sasuke… who smirked and jumped down to fight them… something they weren't expecting was his speed, he had trained his body to rich extremely high speeds. Within a few minutes most of them were knocked out… and quite a few them had pretty deviating wounds.

"Why do I have the feeling that Zoro is getting he the better fighters?" Asked Sasuke.

That's when he heard a loud crack sound, Sasuke smirked, "That proves it to me." He said.

He ran towards where the sound came from, he ran as fast he could and found Zoro on top of a building holding Ms. Monday by the forehead, he let go of her and she just fell the to the ground.

"So you've been having fun I see…" said Sasuke with a smirk.

"What about you" asked Zoro with.

"Ever had to knock several crying children with guns?" asked Sasuke.

"No…" said Zoro with a sweat drop.

"Then it wasn't fun." Said Sasuke glaring at him.

Mr. 8, Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday looked at Zoro and Sasuke and realized something… they weren't the ones with bounties… not Luffy and Naruto…

At that very moment Naruto sneezed while trying form another Rasengan.

"Damn it!" yelled Naruto, "If I didn't sneeze…"

"You still have blown up…" said Kyubi, "Why do I have the feeling that they underestimated you…"

"Shut up." Thought Naruto.

Naruto got up and kicked a rather large rock… but he stubbed his toe and started jumping up and down, "This really hurts!" he yelled.

"Naruto calm down." Said Hinata.

Naruto sighed and sat next to Hinata, "I don't think I can get this."

"Don't worry… Naruto, you will…" said Hinata touching his hand.

Both began to blush… Hinata let go and the two still blushing looking at each other.

Back in town, the pair had taken the last but three (of course being the two that hitched a ride and the "mayor"), Mr. 8 took out his Saxophone Gun thingy and aimed it at the two who dodged.

"That was interesting…" said Sasuke.

"You missed it, didn't you?" asked Zoro.

Sasuke shrugged, and watched the ones below., they couldn't help but to sweat drop when Ms. Wednesday called her duck named Carue…

"Is she for real?" asked Sasuke.

"I have no idea…" said Zoro with a sweat drop.

They heard a laugh, "I wouldn't turn my back if I were you…"

Mr. 9 came barreling down towards them and began to fight Zoro.

"Why do they always fight him?" asked Sasuke to one in particular.

"Well Emo Owl Boy, I think if you want someone fight then fight me then that would be me, you be prepared to die." Said a voice.

Sasuke turned around and saw Ms. Wednesday standing Carue.

"Wow… you didn't seem like the type to use that nickname." Said Sasuke.

Ms. Wednesday Smirked, "Then just take a look at my outfit." Said Ms. Wednesday.

Sasuke's eye twitched… he turned around and began to walk away.

"Where do you think you're going!" yelled Ms. Wednesday.

"If you're just going to try to seduce me rather than fight then I'm out." Said Sasuke walking away.

Ms. Wednesday's eyes twitched, "I'll teach you to take me seriously."

She placed a weapon called a Peacock Slasher on her finger and rode Carue towards Sasuke… however… she missed Sasuke and Carue ran off the building, Sasuke turned to Zoro who looked equally embarrassed.

"What happened to your guy?" asked Sasuke.

"Flipped himself off the building accidentally." Said Zoro with a shrug.

"These guys are idiots." Said Sasuke.

"You said it." Said Zoro.

That's Mr. 8 showed up, he pulled on his tie revealing guns in his hair and shot at the pair, who jumped into a hole that Zoro made earlier while he fought with several bounty hunters. The hole emptied out into a building, when they left the building they spilt up.

Meanwhile in the house where the rest of the Straw Hats slept, Ms. Wednesday smirked with Carue by her side. The two entered the room not noticing the trip wire, or rather clone disguised as a trip wire… she set it off and grabbed the swollen captain to be used a hostage while he slept.

At that very moment… Naruto and Hinata and were looking at each other blushing.

"Hinata… I…" said Naruto.

That's when Naruto felt the trip wire go off and he stopped what he was saying.

"Naruto… what is it?" asked Hinata.

"The trip wire went off..." said Naruto.

He immediately shifted to his half demon form.

"Hinata climb on my back!" said Naruto.

Hinata nodded and got his back and Naruto ran back towards the town.

Meanwhile Zoro was trapped, he was tied by a steel rope that came from Mr. 9s bat, Mr. 8 aimed his hair guns at him and Ms. Wednesday had Luffy hostage… Sasuke watched form a nearby alley way… with a sweat drop he said "Those idiots". Sasuke ran towards them not knowing what would happen next.
