Chapter 148: The Weirdo of Jaya
Chopper and Sakura cleaned Luffy and Zoro's wounds and bandages them.
"So what happened?" asked Sakura.
"Don't ask!" yelled Nami.
"Was Naruto beaten up?" asked Chopper knowing that Naruto's wounds tend to heal quickly due to Kyubi.
"No… Kyubi took over so I avoided the fight." said Naruto.
"Okay…" said Chopper.
They knew about Gaara's powers, so they didn't bring him up knowing that even if he was "beaten up" it wouldn't have mattered.
That was when Anko and Kakashi finished a conversation they were having.
"Hey! Is it okay if we travel with you for a while?" asked Kakashi.
"Sure." Said Naruto.
"I'm cool with it." Said Luffy.
"Why?" asked Sanji who seemed to be recovering from his fight with Dosu.
The two looked at Sasuke.
"We need to make sure that nothing happens to his cursed seal." Said Kakashi.
"I'll be fine." Said Sasuke.
"No it won't be!" yelled Anko who loomed over Sasuke, she took off her jacket.
She was surprised that Sanji didn't go into full nosebleed mode because she took it off, she looked to see that he and Kakashi were looking at Sanji newest book giggling like children
"I can't believe Naruto got this for his birthday." said Kakashi.
"I know! And he gave it to me!" said Sanji.
Anko rolled her eyes and pointed to her neck. The exact same seal was on her neck as well.
"I was one of his original test subjects." Said Anko.
Sasuke sighed, "I should have known that was one of those things…" he said.
"Either way we have to seal it up." Said Anko, "We don't know how it will affect you."
"What do you mean seal it?" asked Sasuke.
Before Anko could call Kakashi, Robin finally showed up. If there wasn't a big battle with Sound it wouldn't have matter however… there was…
"Where we you!" yelled the crew who had to face sound expect for Sanji and for some reason Nami joined in as well.
"Sorry, I was shopping for clothes and information." Said Robin.
"Oh yeah… I forgot about that." Said Ino with a sweat drop.
"I found out some interesting things." Said Robin, she hand Luffy a map with a big red x on it.
"A treasure map?" asked Luffy.
"No it's just a regular map. It shows where the biggest weirdo of the island it. A man who was laughed out of town for having big dreams." Said Robin, "Montblanc Cricket.
That was when she saw Kakashi, her eyes widened.
"Kakashi?" asked Robin surprised.
Kakashi looked up from his book and smiled under his mask, "Well Robin it's been a long time." He said surprised to see her.
Robin nodded, "It has." She said.
"Kakashi…" said Anko tapping her foot.
"What?" asked Kakashi.
"You know that you have to give Sasuke the seal. I don't know how to do it." Said Anko.
Kakashi nodded, "We'll talk." Said Kakashi.
Robin nodded.
Kakashi and Sasuke went into the storage room, Kakashi drew up strange symbols using his blood all over the area… Sasuke also had his shirt off.
"I'm not feeling very comfortable right now…" said Sasuke.
"I don't like it either." Said Kakashi, "But the earlier I do this the better."
"What the less exhausted I'll be from this?" asked Sasuke.
"You probably won't be in a coma." Said Kakashi.
That made Sasuke sweat drop.
"Please tell you're kidding." Said Sasuke.
"All right." Said Kakashi.
Kakashi then performed the seal, the marks all glowed and moved to where the Cursed Seal was, forming a strange ring.
"You have to focus your will power on to that seal, if you don't the one Orochimaru gave you will consume you." Explained Kakashi.
That was when Sasuke fainted.
Kakashi sighed and picked him up, he went down stairs to put him to bed so he could rest. He got up and saw both Sakura and Ino were concerned.
"Is he okay?" asked Sakura.
"If I were to guess he'll wake up in a couple hours." Said Kakashi.
Both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
As they sailed on their way, they came across another ship. The captain… well he looked like an orangutan. Boasting that he was an extraordinary strong pirate and he was the one that would replace Crocodile.
"So… what's your name?" asked Anko with a smirk.
"Shoujou." Said the pirate captain.
"Never heard of you." said Anko.
"Hey! What gives you the right to mock mime?" asked Shoujou.
"I'm a Kage." Said Anko, "One of the 10 greatest Clone Users."
Shoujou sweat dropped.
"Still you may have one Kage on board." Said Shoujou.
"Two… accurately." Said Kakashi.
"You may have two Kages! But this water is my territory!" yelled Shoujou.
"Isn't that what that Marisa guy said?" asked Naruto.
"I think so." Said Luffy.
"You know my brother?" asked Shoujou.
"He's you're brother?" asked Naruto.
"Gee… that's a surprise." Said Kyubi very sarcastically.
After Shoujou vowed revenge for his brother, he took out a microphone and began to yell into it, the noise caused his own ship to begin to fall apart. Not only that, but the Going Merry was starting to fall apart as well.
Because of this Sanji with all his might jumped onto Shoujou's ship and began to beat him up.
"I wouldn't have done that if this wasn't a sonic attack!" yelled Sanji.
"What's that about?" asked Luffy.
"It think it has to with his pride in losing against a sound based attack." Said Kakashi with a sweat drop.
That was when Sasuke ran up deck, having been woken up by the loud sounds.
"That was fast." Said Anko.
"What's going on?" asked Sasuke, then he saw what Sanji was doing, "Why is Sanji fighting an orangutan?"
"Don't ask…" said Naruto.
After Shoujou was hourly beaten they left, with Sanji happy that he took out his aggression on him.
Even if it doesn't have to with Sound or Dosu.
They got to the house of where Cricket lived, it was a big fantastic castle!
"Oh my god! That is so fake!" yelled Kyubi.
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.
It turned out the castle was indeed fake.
"Well I have the feeling that this will be a sign of things to come." Said Kyubi.
They made it to the place where Montblanc Cricket lived… but who knows what will happen now… will he be able to point them to Sky Island or not? Only time will tell…
Next Time: The crew meets Montblanc Cricket, who's on a mission to prove that his ancestor is telling the truth and not telling a lie! It doesn't help that his ancestor is considered a true fairy tale... but may it's true! What will happen? Find out next time!
