Chapter 152: Wow… That was Kind of Sad

Cricket and the Monkey brothers were injured, the Going Merry was broken apart. Isaribi had to rescue Shoujou from the water.

"What happened?" whispered Hinata.

Luffy was by Cricket's side, he was clearly in pain.

"I'm sorry, but we still have time before sun rise to fix the ship." Said Cricket in pain.

"The Gold Ignots are gone!" yelled Nami.

"What?" asked Luffy.

"Don't worry about them… it's okay." Said Cricket.

"How can you say that!" yelled Usopp, "You spent the last 10 years looking for them!"

"Hey…" said Gaara, "Look."

He pointed to a smiley face with a no sign a across it, the sign of Bellamy's crew.

"So you need help?" asked Zoro.

"No I can handle them." Said Luffy.

"Wait!" yelled Nami.

"If I follow the coast I'll be in Mock Town, right?" asked Luffy.

"That's right." Said Robin.

"Wait!" yelled Nami, this trying getting their attention, "We only have three hours."

"I'll go with him." Said Naruto, "If I give him a ride then it won't take that long."

Nami was about to say some but Luffy nodded.

"Do you even know what you're up against?" asked Cricket.

"There's no way you can stop them." Said Anko.

"We'll be back in time, don't worry." Said Luffy as Naruto turned into his full Kyubi mode.

Cricket began to sweat as Naruto shifted. Luffy jumped on his brother's back and Naruto ran off.

At the bar, one of Bellamy's men had found the crew's new wanted posters, and was warning Bellamy about them.

"Those three guys are much stronger than you!" yelled the man, "And the girl who kept going on about threat level is equal."

Bellamy brushed it off.

"Please, do you know how many pathetic pirates print up fake wanted posters. The only one I can see getting a bounty increase is the Kyubi brat." Said Bellamy.

The crew laughed then realized something.

"Wait… why the Kyubi brat?" asked one of the pirates.

"Because he has the Kyubi sealed inside of him, but I doubt it will increase any time soon." Laughed Bellamy "He's still a brat."

His crew began to laugh. That is until they heard a yell "Bellamy get out here!"

His crew spat out all whatever they were drinking.

They got out to see Luffy and Naruto standing on a roof top.

"So you two came? What business do you have?" asked Bellamy.

"Give us the gold you took from the Diamond Head man." Said Luffy.

"Well this is your fight bro! I'll just get down." Said Naruto.

He jumped down. He got to the ground and saw Bellamy's Devil Fruit in action, apparently he can turn his body parts into springs.

"If it is small I'd hate to see what it looks like when he extends it." Said Kyubi.

"Can you lay off the dirty jokes just once?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop.

"You know the answer, so why bother asking." Answered Kyubi.

Naruto noticed Sarquiss, who was glaring at him.

"Let me guess. You want to fight me." Said Naruto.

"Why not. I mean the only reason you have a bounty is because of your demon." Laughed Sarquiss.

Naruto smirked, "Fine I'll go easy on you, I won't use Kyubi's powers, my devil fruit powers, my clones or the Rasengan." Said Naruto.

"Now that you think about it. You might be overly powered." Said Kyubi.

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

Sarquiss took out his knives and began to spin them.

"This is going to be easy." Thought Naruto.

At the same time, Bellamy destroyed the roof that Luffy was on, he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground.

Bellamy just bounced around gloating.

"You really think you can beat me? I bet you can't even throw a punch." Gloated Bellamy.

Sarquiss ran towards Naruto, swinging his big knives Naruto knew he had to dodge.

"You want to see me throw a punch?" asked Luffy.

"Big weapons don't mean anything." Said Naruto.

Both Bellamy and Sarquiss got close enough to their opponents, but the two brothers knocked the two out, both with one punch.

"Wow… that was sad…" said Kyubi.

"Give us back to the gold." Said both of them.

Of course Bellamy's crew complied in fear.

Back at the ship, the Monkey men's crews were working on the ships.

"Why did you go with them?" asked Nami.

"It wasn't worth it." Said Zoro.

"But they beat you up." Said Nami.

"You still don't get it." Said Gaara, "They weren't worth the fight last time. They just wanted to fight for the sake of fighting, this time Luffy and Naruto had a reason to fight, a worthy reason, and if I were to guess, it was a pathetic fight."

As Sasuke helped fix the ship, he listened to the conversation.

"Do I want to know what happened in town at the bar?" asked Sasuke.

"I have the feeling that you don't." said Anko.

Back in Mock Town, Luffy had gotten the gold.

"Wait!" yelled a higher ranked member of Bellamy's crew who still believed the two were week, "Where do you think you're going?"

"He's a dead man." Thought the rest of Bellamy's crew.

"To the sky." Said Luffy pointing up.

Naruto turned into his Kyubi form, and they rode off. Possibly changing Mock Town.

And now for something Completely Different…

The afternoon before that day, Buggy and his crew were searching a cave for a legendary treasure. When suddenly a crew somehow recruited them into digging the tunnel.

How did that happen? Let's just say he's an idiot!

And so sometime later he and Mohji and Cabaji had returned. The topic quickly turned to the Straw Hats.

"They're at 100, 90, 60 and if that girl is with them she has 55, they're reputations are getting bigger." Said Cabaji.

"I don't care, let their reputations grow." Said Buggy, "As the sea witch says, fatten them up. We'll find them then take them down!"

"I get it!" yelled Mohji.

"That's right! Let's celebrate!" yelled Buggy.

And so his crew began to celebrate…

However Alvida pointed out one thing.

"We don't even know where Luffy is, how do you expect to find him?" she asked.

"Relax, it's a party. Don't worry." Said Buggy.

"I know where to find him." Said a voice.

That's when they saw that they had a party crasher, Ace.

"Sorry for crashing your party but I was brought here by the smell of wonderful food." Said Ace apologizing, "I…"

"I don't care who you are, why are you crashing our party!" yelled Buggy.

"Captain! That's fire Fist Ace!" yelled one of Buggy's men.

"The second commander of White Beard's Crew?" asked Cabaji in shock.

"Oh, you know…" said Ace who fell to sleep.

"Hey! We should capture him… if we do our reputations." Said Mohji.

"No!" yelled Buggy, "Listen and remember this well. Never mess with Whiter Beard's crew! White Beard has been known to go toe to toe with Gold Roger, he's the Strongest Living Pirate and said the be the Closet to One Piece."

"You sound like you know him well." Said Alvida.

"Naturally." Said Buggy, "I met him years ago, here on the Grand Line."

"Cool you know the old man?" asked Ace.

"He's awake!" yelled his crew.

"Hey don't let me stop you, it's a party right?" asked Ace.

"It is a party!" yelled Buggy.

And so the party got under way, with Ace wanting to get Ritchie to jump though a hoop.

And so the morale of that is don't mess with White Beard.

The rest of it however… it will never be mentioned again… yeah… weird once thought about…

Next Time: The World Government is Concerned about the Straw Hats and holds a meeting to discus them. Meanwhile Shanks sends a message to White Beard. Not only that but the candidate gets the message that he has been chosen as the new Kazekage, who is it? And who's threatening him to join this time? Find out next time!
