Chapter 146: Sound Attacks
Usopp and Chopper stared at the three. The first was a man covered in bandages expect for one eye. The second was a man with spiky black hair and the last was a woman with extremely long black hair.
"Wait… why would Orochimaru want him dead?" asked Usopp.
"We don't know." Said the man with the black hair, "All we know is that he wants him dead."
"Since your all a crew, I assume you're going to stop us?" asked the man in the bandages.
"I'm going to get Sakura!" yelled Chopper.
"Why get Sakura? You think she'll be able handle to this better than me or Usopp?" asked Kiba.
The other three as well as Akamaru gave him a look that said "Yes, yes she would."
Chopper went down below deck as quickly as he could. That was when he found Sakura, still by Sasuke's side.
"Chopper what is it?" asked Sakura.
Above deck they heard a loud "WHAT!" and Sakura made it to the deck in just a few seconds.
"I won't let you kill him!" yelled Sakura.
"You really think you can stop us?" asked the woman.
"Kin, you get the girl, Zaku you get the long nose, I get the blonde. When we're done with them we take out the kid, the dog… and whatever that thing was." Said the man in the bandages.
"Right." Said the girl name Kin.
"Whatever…" said the man with spiky hair named Zaku.
"I'll have you know! I'm a brave warrior!" yelled Usopp his legs shaking in fear.
"You're not going to get away with this!" yelled Sakura.
"You won't kill Sasuke!" yelled Inner Sakura.
"I could use the exercise." Said Sanji with a smirk.
Kin threw needles at Sakura, but the pink haired girl dodged and punched her in the gut.
"What…" said Kin.
"I have the same muscle condition Tsunade has." Explained Sakura.
Kin paled, she had heard about Tsunade's rare condition from Orochimaru himself. Fighting someone with the same condition was a bad idea.
However she laughed… why…
"You have no idea…" said Kin, "I'm the only one without a modification or a weapon."
"What?" asked Sakura.
Usopp knowing he didn't have a choice in this, had to fight Zaku. He shot his slingshot at him… however Zaku just waved his arms around and the pellets miss.
"Do you have some kind of Devil Fruit?" asked Usopp.
"Please a devil fruit." Said Zaku with a snort, he revealed his palms and inside were holes, "This air tubes allow me to create supersonic wind."
He shot one of the "supersonic winds" at Usopp, he fell back, feeling like he was just shot.
"Devil Fruits… they have nothing on me." Laughed Zaku.
With Sanji, he was fighting the man in bandages. The man tried to punch Sanji, however it missed.
"Is that all you got?" asked Sanji.
That was when Sanji fell, he began to feel woozy, "What… what did you do?" he asked.
The man lifted up his sleeve, on his arm was a strange metal thing.
"I used sound." He said simply, "Should you mess up the inner ear, you lose control of your balance."
"What?" asked Sanji who looked like he wanted to vomit.
"Do you really think you can win?" asked the man.
Back in Mock Town the group with Anko explained what happened in the bar.
"I see." Said Anko, "Makes sense."
"How does that make sense?" asked Nami.
"You don't understand." Said Anko, she walked over to Zoro, she swiped a little of his blood and then lick it off her finger, "I doubt anyone would be able to bring you of all people down."
Zoro couldn't say anything, he knew about Anko's creepy crush on him, and it was better than saying anything that might upset.
"Anko… there's something we need to ask you." Said Gaara.
"What?" asked Anko.
"Oh…" said Naruto finally remembering about Sasuke, "He must not be named in front of you" showed up and bit Sasuke..."
Anko froze, "Did a strange mark appear?" she asked.
"You do know something." Said Nami.
"We have to get to him now… and make sure that no one's around when he wakes up." Said Anko, "He's going to be really angry when he wakes up."
"You're joking, right?" asked Nami.
"Hmmm… maybe if you kidnap some of these stupid pirates…" said Anko, "This way he has some punching bags to get rid of this unnatural aggression."
"What?" asked the crew minus Gaara.
"What he gave him is known as the Cursed Seal… and it's extremely dangerous…" said Anko.
"How dangerous?" asked Luffy.
"I'll explain later… we have to get there… I have a bad feeling that Orochimaru will send his goons for some reason." Said Anko.
Elsewhere, Ino and Isaribi were returning to the ship.
"I can't believe you did that!" yelled Isaribi.
"Come on." Said Ino, "You look good."
Isaribi was wearing a blue long sleeved shirt and jean bellbottoms. All of her clothes were similar.
"This way you won't have to wear so many bandages." Said Ino.
"But what about the fights?" asked Isaribi.
"That's what the bathing suits are for." Said Ino.
"Why did I have to be on a ship with someone fashion conscious?" asked Isaribi with a sweat drop.
"You're lucky Nami's stingy with money." Said Ino.
Isaribi sweat dropped when she that.
That was when they heard a noise from the ship the two of them ran over to the ship, to the fights, going on.
"It's those three." Said Isaribi.
"You know them?" asked Ino.
The three looked at the fights. Sanji was doing really badly, the man in the bandages getting really cheap shots, Usopp was dodging the blasts of air and Sakura.
Well she sitting on top of Kin, filing her nails.
"This isn't funny!" yelled Kin.
"Where's Chopper, Kiba and Robin?" asked Ino.
"I really don't know where Robin is… but Chopper and Kiba are in the storage room…" said Sakura, "These three are trying to kill Sasuke."
"What!" yelled Ino.
"I see…" said Isaribi, "Then that helps things…"
Zaku was sending more blasts of air at Usopp was dodging as much as he could when someone punched him in the face. Zaku got up and saw who it was and he trembled.
"You…" said Zaku, "I'm sorry… but it wasn't my fault!"
"Sure it wasn't." said Isaribi, "By the way I'm, a member of this crew now."
Zaku looked like he was going to cry.
"Don't worry… that all I'm going to with this fight." Said Isaribi.
"Usopp! I know you're the marks men of the crew. The way to beat him is to plug the whole." Said Isaribi, "Plug the holes and he's powerless."
Isaribi walked away, "This is Usopp's fight… like I said I'm not getting involved." Said Isaribi who went into the storage room to help Kiba and Chopper.
Kiba who heard everything.
"You know him?" asked Kiba.
"Yes… I would rather not say how… only I hate his guts for it." Said Isaribi.
"What did he see you naked or something?" asked Kiba.
Isaribi glared at him, making him slink away a little.
Outside, Usopp got the perfect idea.
"That will work!" he thought.
With Ino she glared at the man in bandages, she then looked at Sakura. She smirked.
"Sakura… I need your help…" she said.
Sakura nodded then looked at Kin.
"I really don't like the look you're giving me…" sighed Kin.
Today just wasn't her day.
The man in the bandages was about to punch Sanji, Sanji tried to dodge but felt like he was going to vomit.
"Hey!" yelled a voice.
The man in the bandages stopped when he saw Kin, smirking.
"Sorry to say but I'm not you're friend." Said the Kin… Ino was possessing her.
"A Devil Fruit?" asked Zaku who stopped his fight as well… then again it never really started again after Isaribi's interruption.
"That's right." Said the Ino Possessed Kin, she took out a knife, "And if you don't want your friend to get hurt then you'll leave."
The man in the bandages walked over to the Ino Possessed Kin and slammed her into the mast.
He noticed a tickle of blood coming from Ino's mouth.
"What an interesting bluff… but it won't work." Said the man in the bandages.
"Damn it…" muttered the Ino Possessed Kin getting up.
The man in the bandages turned to Sanji, "Time to finish this." He said, "Then it's Sasuke."
He was about to punch Sanji but his arm was grabbed. The man turned around and went pale with his visible eye.
The straw hats that were on deck were surprised by his appearance… after all it was a while since they've seen him.
"I'm not surprised Sanji you fell to it." Said the person who saved him, "That weapon's not normal."
The man in the bandages managed to get away from the rescuer.
"Why are getting involved with this?" asked the man in the bandages.
"Well other than the fact that Sound members being involved." Said the person smiling behind the mask he wore, "Well you're hurting some old friends of mine… and with your weapon it's not a fair fight."
Sanji couldn't help but to smirk, sure someone just saved his ass, but he'd make an exception for the person after all, the person who just saved him was Kakashi and he was an old friend. An old friend he definitely wasn't expecting to show up.
Next Time: Kakashi fights the man in badges knowing the best way to fight the weapon in a very obvious way. Also Usopp figures out how to fight Zaku. However what will happen when Sasuke wakes up? He's not happy... and he seems a little crazy... What will happen? Find out next time!
