Chapter 142: Look at the Monkey Man

The crew couldn't help but to stare. After all it wasn't every day that a crew would bang symbols while singing salvage.

"That's not a normal site to see." Said Kiba in disbelif.

"No… it's not." Said Ino staring at them.

"Prepare to raise the ship!" yelled who appeared to be the captain, who looked to be a giant monkey man.

"Now that's really something you don't see every day." Said Ino.

"Hey you! What are you doing here?" yelled the monkey man.

"Why should we answer?" asked Kiba.

"Why you brat!" yelled the Monkey Man.

"Don't mind him!" said Ino covering his mouth, "He doesn't have a role in this crew."

"Please don't remind me." Said Kiba who had gotten free.

"Any ship that sinks in this territory belongs to me." Said the Monkey Man.

"How do you declare that?" asked Gaara.

"Why do you question me?" asked the Monkey Man.

Gaara just glared at him.

"Hey! Can I ask you a question?" asked Nami.

"What you admire me?" asked the Monkey man.

"I guess he just likes pretty girls saying things to him." Said Kiba.

"Yeah…" said Gaara.

After Nami asked her question (which was to watch the salvage), some of his men came up beaten up.

He warned the crew on the surface that there were some bad men on the bottom.

"God he's an idiot." Said Kiba.

"Yeah…." Said Gaara.

On the floor, the 7 members of the crew began to rummage through the ship. Finding were trinkets here and there. Sakura and Isaribi remember what the point of this little operation was, finding information, not treasure (which would only be a bonus for Nami) and got very book they could. They explored it, that was when a weird metal thing crashed into the ship.

"What's that!" yelled one of them

However due to the suits, it was heard above the surface.

Nami, Usopp, Ino and Hinata covered the communication to that the other crew couldn't hear it.

"What's that! The Monkey at the prow!" yelled Usopp covering it up.

"That's supposed to cover it up?" asked Kiba.

Turns out the monkey shaped figure head was special the whole time and was important to the salvaging. It was so that he could blow into it raising the ship. In fact it worked.

"I think I should really start questioning the laws of physics." Said Ino.

That was when the Monkey Man got the word about people definitely in the ship.

"All right! I'm going down!" yelled the Monkey man getting ready to jump down.

"No!" yelled Ino, "We're not taking a picture!"

He jumped down under the water… punching a Sea King on the way. After all HE WAS A MONKEY MAN!

Sorry… really couldn't help it…

In the ship which now being pulled the surface.

Inside the sunken ship, the 6 took off her barrels while Isaribi turned back to her human form.

"I wonder who's doing this." Said Isaribi.

"I don't know." Said Sakura.

"I really hope the others are okay." Said Naruto.

"Especially Hinata." Said Kyubi.

"Now's not the time." Thought Naruto.

"I haven't heard from Nami or Robin." Said Sanji.

"Oh sure… only care about those two…" said Sakura.

That was when the Monkey Man finally came into the ship.

"What are you doing here!" he yelled.

"Wow! It's a giant monkey!" yelled Luffy.

"What you think I'm hunky?" asked the Monkey Man.

"Wow… I know I don't get say this a lot… but that guy is dumber than your brother." Said Kyubi.

"I heard a rumor about you… you're Masira. Aren't you?" asked Isaribi.

"Yes I am." Said the Monkey Man apparently named Masira, "What's with your skin?"

"She has a rare skin condition and she gets upset whenever someone point it out." Said Sakura.

"Oh… sorry about that." Said Masira.

"It's fine." Said Isaribi.

Above the surface, the Straw Hats noticed something in the water. It was a giant turtle… and it chomped like a fish to bait.

It surfaced… shocking the crew.

"Naruto!" cried Hinata.

"No... They're still alive." Said Gaara.

"How do you know! They're still alive!" yelled Usopp, "Isn't it obvious that giant turtle is eating them."

"Ever since I joined the crew, Shukaku hasn't been wanting to kill anyone lately." Explained Gaara.

"What do you mean?" asked Ino.

"He's been so focused on the fact that not only he's on the same ship as Kyubi… but is also upset about the fact that Kyubi essentially beaten him." Explained Gaara.

"If he was dead he would have stopped his complaining." Figured Kiba.

Gaara nodded, "He's still alive." He said, "For now."

"Don't add for now to that sentence." yelled Ino.

"I'm sorry!" yelled Nami to the giant turtle.

"You are aware Sakura was in there." Said Ino, "The girl you've been with for the past few years."

"I know… but that's all I can say." Said Nami.

That was when the ship was being dragged because of the turtle.

"We'll be dragged under if it tugs anymore." Said Kiba.

"All right!" yelled Nami taking charge, "Cut the tubes!"

"What!" yelled Usopp and Chopper.

"That's really evil…" said Gaara.

That was when suddenly everything became dark like it was night.

"What's going on?" asked Hinata.

"I don't know… but I don't like it." Said Kiba.

Akamaru shivered because of it.

"When it gets dark in the middle of the day the monsters come out." Said a member of Masira's crew.

That was when Luffy and Naruto crashed on the deck.

"Naruto." Cried Hinata going to him.

The others also arrived on the deck, Sakura and Isaribi the only staring at what had ate them.

"It's a good thing we got out of there." Said Sanji.

"Yeah, that monkey would have done something." Said Zoro.

"I have the strangest feeling like we're missing something." Said Sasuke.

That was when Sakura pounded both Sanji and Zoro on the heads (ignoring Sasuke of course)

"How can you not notice that?" asked Sakura.

"Why didn't you punch Sasuke?" asked Isaribi.

"Hey you!" yelled Masira showing up from the turtle's mouth, "Why did you have to steal my treasure!"

"You have treasure?" asked Nami.

"Sure do! Lots of it!" said Luffy.

"Don't worry me and Isaribi got all the books we can carry." Said Sakura.

"Because that was the point we went down for." Said Isaribi.

"Hey! Boss!" yelled one of the men of Masira's crew.

They turned to see many large shadows that resembled giants.

"We have to get out of here now!" yelled Naruto.

"You know what… I'm not going to say anything about it." Said Kyubi.

They took out of the oars and rowed as far away as possible.

After they got away, the sky was blue again and everything was fine.

Well almost everything…

"Yeah! That was scary." Said Masira.

"Get out of here!" yelled Luffy, Naruto, Kiba, Sanji, Zoro and Sakura kicking him away when they found that he accidently stowed away.

"It's a shame you couldn't get the other stowaway." Said a voice.

"Yeah…" said Luffy.

That was when they all froze. They turned around and saw a pale man with long black hair. They did have another stow-away and it was Orochimaru… the fallen Kage.

Next Time: Orochimaru gives his reasons why he came... to recruit Sasuke and only Sasuke. Why is he recruiting Sasuke... why not Zoro as well. And not only that but he does something to Sasuke. Something strange that puts Sasuke in grave danger.
