Also as I've said before: due to a long list of reasons I took last week off, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 145: The Price of One's Head
Bellamy walked up to the bar. The Straw Hats that were there looked at him. He had an evil smile on his face.
"I'm looking for Straw Hat Luffy and Shadow Fox Naruto." He said.
Everyone whispered around.
"That would us." Said Luffy.
"Get the older one anything he wants." Said Bellamy.
"Hey thanks." Said Luffy.
What Luffy was unaware. While he was drinking Bellamy was going to attack him. He slammed his face into the bar, while a large portion of the bar laughed.
Naruto went into half demon form. Zoro withdrew his swords, while Gaara, he just left.
"Gaara where are you going?" asked Nami.
"Outside… I don't want to get involved into a pointless bar fight." He said.
"Come on! Why don't you get involved!" yelled a random pirate throwing a bottle at him, however of course such a stupid thing was prevented by Gaara's sand. He gave the pirate an evil glared before saying, "This fight is pointless he's just some pirate hiding behind his large bounty."
He left the bar and began to wait outside.
"Who was that kid?" asked Bellamy.
"I don't think you want to know his back story." Said Naruto, the half demon turned to Bellamy, "Zoro I'll handle him."
"Please you have a 27 Million Bounty." Said Bellamy, "I don't know what you did to get that bounty."
"That's none of your business!" yelled Naruto, "Besides, a bounty has nothing to do with Strength level."
"Really who told you that?" asked Bellamy.
"I did." Piped up Hinata, "I learned that a long time ago."
"Where did you learn it from?" asked Bellamy.
"I can't say, but a bounty is only a reflection what world government sees you as a threat." Explained Hinata.
Bellamy laughed, "I can't believe that you made that up."
Hinata looked away, decided it was best to ignore him.
That was when Luffy, got up.
"Oh look he's up." Said a member of Bellamy's crew.
"Wait… I need to get the information." Said Nami, she turned to the bartender, "How do we get to sky island?"
It became extremely silent until everyone in the bar laughed at her.
"You believe in that fairy tale?" asked one of the pirates in Bellamy's crew.
"That legend is so old." Said someone else.
"But the Log Pose is pointed up." Said Nami.
Everyone laughed at her, pointing out how the Log Poses break.
"Where are you hicks even from? To believe that tale." Said Bellay.
Before anyone else can say anything. A rock hit Naruto in the face, knocking him down.
"Hey!" yelled a man poking his head in, "Did any of you see a Sea Stone come flying though here?"
Naruto got up and tossed it at the man.
"Kit agreed to let me take over." Said Naruto, that was everyone noticed Naruto's eyes had turned red, a sign that he wasn't in control.
"What's with you?" asked Bellamy.
"Let me ask you something." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto, "What do you think of the Biju."
"They exist, everyone knows about the Sanbi lurking in the Calm Belts." Said Bellamy wondering what caused a change in the brat.
"Good." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto, "Because I believe Hinata when she said that about bounty, my host only has a bounty because of my prescience in his body. The World Government fears my power and the fact that a pirate controls it."
"What are you even talking about?" asked Bellamy.
"I'm the Kyubi no Yoko." Said the Kyubi Possessed Naruto, "And you're hiding behind your own bounty while having arbitrary skepticism."
"What the hell are you even talking about?" asked Bellamy.
"Like I said you believe in Biju and Devil Fruits since I can sense your powers yet not sky island… plus there's the fact your hiding behind your bounty. I bet you compensating for something." Said the Kyubi Possessed Naruto.
Bellamy was about to punch when the Kyubi Possessed Naruto caught it.
"I bet it's tiny." Said Kyubi, "The size of a baby carrot."
"Kyubi!" yelled Naruto from the mindscape, "Did you really have to get that involved. I didn't agree to that!"
"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further." Said Kyubi to Naruto.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"Uh… never mind. I just wanted to say that." Said Kyubi to his host.
Many of the women in Bellamy's crew giggled.
"Hey!" yelled Bellamy.
Bellamy was about to grab the Kyubi possessed Naruto, but he ducked.
"The more you react the more I know it's true." Said the Kyubi possessed Naruto, "Kit might not be in control now and I think I'm going to just leave."
As the Kyubi possessed Naruto was leaving, "Luffy prove the point your own way."
And with that he left.
"That demon wasn't talking for you, was he?" asked Bellamy.
"No." answered Luffy.
"Good." Said Bellamy, hitting Luffy with a bottle.
Outside… Gaara noticed Naruto, then saw his eyes and remembered hearing if his eyes were red that means Kyubi was in control.
"So… when are you going to give him back control?" asked Gaara.
"When this is all over." Said the Kyubi possessed Naruto, he smiled to himself and said, "This reminds me of that day, many years ago…"
Back inside the bar, Bellamy continued to mock Luffy.
"I think you should know something! The age of pipe dreams is over! El Dorado! The Emerald City, the One Piece!"
Before he could continue with his speech, Kyubi possessed Naruto popped his head back in.
"Wow… just wow… the emerald city is a fairy tale… a very recent fairy… I guess I was wrong about you consisting for something small… You're confused at what you are and is taking it out on them."
"Will you shut up!" yelled Bellamy.
The Kyubi Possessed Naruto went back outside.
"Wait… I don't get it." Said Naruto.
"I'll explain it to you later." Said Kyubi.
After telling them at the age of dreams is dead, Luffy told Zoro not to fight back. Bellamy and his crew began to beat on them.
"Come on you guys! Fight back! I know you promised me you wouldn't fight!" said Nami.
Hinata tapped her shoulder.
"What!" yelled Nami who realized it was just her crewmate.
"Nami, I know you don't get it… but I do…" said Hinata.
"What?" asked Nami.
"When we were young something… kind of like this happened. Luffy and Naruto didn't understand it at the time… but now they do…" said Hinata, "They're fighting without actually fighting…"
Nami blinked, she didn't understand.
"I thought you wouldn't understand." Said Hinata.
It was when Luffy's face was smashed into a window that it ended. The two girls went over to their fallen comrades.
"Luffy… are you okay?" asked Hinata.
Hinata helped both Luffy and Zoro while Sarquiss offered to "buy" Nami. She didn't want it, and so after more words were thrown they were kicked out of the bar. Hinata helped Luffy out while Nami just dragged Zoro out.
"You guys okay?" asked Naruto who was in control again.
"What's fine about it! And you just let Kyubi walk out on that?" asked Nami glaring at him.
"The island is real." Said a voice.
They turned to see it was that guy from the bar. The one that both demons feared for some reason.
"Why are you upset missy? You're friends won that fight." Said the man.
"You're comeback was impressive." Said the man and he turned to Naruto, "And I have to admit I liked the way you riled him up."
"It wasn't me… "said Naruto, "And I don't feel comfortable explaining why…"
"They spoke of a new age… which is rubbish." Said the man, "The age of pirate dreams are over! The age of pirate dreams will never die!"
Many people around them laughed at that boast.
"Well you seem to be in a hurry, so I won't keep you." Said the man leaving.
The two parted ways.
As they walked away… they heard a laugh, but it wasn't one the town's laughter at them, more like an amused chuckle.
"What happened you, you look like you lost a bar fight." Said the voice.
They turned to see a certain woman wearing fishnet. Mitarashi "That Crazy Bitch" Anko.
"Anko… what are you doing here?" asked Nami surprised.
"I'm supposed to be meeting someone here… someone who was supposed to be here three hours ago…" said Anko, "Someone who I won't know what's going to happen to them when I get my hands on him…"
They all sweat dropped when she said that.
"So can I hang with you for a while?" asked Anko.
"Sure, why not." Said Luffy.
"Great." Said Anko.
Back on the Going Merry, Usopp and Chopper were fixing the wall when there was a thump on the deck. They turned to see that there three people…
"What are you doing here!" yelled Usopp.
"Where's Sasuke?" asked one of them.
"Why do you want to see him?" asked Chopper.
"Because… we were ordered by Lord Orochimaru to kill him." Said the second.
Next Time: Orochimaru sends out three people to try to kill Sasuke... why? Especially after he tried to recruit Sasuke. Also Luffy's group learns what Orochimaru did to him, what is it? Find out next time!
