Chapter 177: Falling Down
Naruto glared at Eneru, fortunately Kyubi assured Luffy was alive. Naruto looked at Nami who looked scared.
"Nami… I'm going to see if Luffy is all right. I'm sure everything will turn out all right for you." Said Naruto.
"What?" asked Nami.
Naruto picked up a tree branch that fell on the deck and threw it Eneru.
"That is pathetic." Said Eneru, he shot the branch with a bolt of lightning. However the branch erupted in flames. And those flames became Naruto clones.
"The fire clone…" thought Nami, "I forgot Naruto even mastered it."
The clones all rushed Eneru he grabbed his trident and stabbed a few which burst into flames.
"These have no effect on me!" said Eneru.
While he was fighting them, Naruto made his escape. What Naruto didn't know was that Eneru let him escape on purpose because he was too annoying.
It was best for everyone to do that.
"Wait a second…" thought Nami, "He left me alone!"
As Naruto was falling in half demon form.
"Why didn't you tell her that the others were coming?" asked Kyubi.
"The others were coming?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop.
"I… I didn't tell did I?" asked Kyubi.
"No…" said Naruto.
On the side of the ship.
"Can someone remind me why we're doing this?" asked Kiba.
(Flashback)
"Can you tell us what happened?" asked Hinata trying to calm Anko down.
"He tried to cop a feel!" yelled Anko.
"I was only trying to wake you up." Cried Sanji was terrified right then.
"Well maybe if you wore an actual shirt." Said Ino.
There was an awkward silence.
"Oh… yeah… I forgot about that." Said Anko.
That was when there was a crash they saw the Maxim rise up. As it did two people saw a glimpse.
"I saw Naruto up there." Said Hinata.
"And I saw Nami." Said Sanji.
"Are you sure?" asked Kiba.
"We need to get up there." Said Sanji.
"What about Sasuke." Said Ino.
"You forgot my brother." Said Kiba.
Ino glared at Kiba then turned to Sanji.
"We'll wake them up, they might be of some help." Said Sanji.
They proceeded to wake up Sasuke and Usopp…
"This is a really bad idea." Said Isaribi.
"I know… but we need to help Naruto and Nami." Said Hinata.
(End of Flashback)
And that's how the crew that were on the wound up climbing the Ark.
"I still don't think it's a good idea." Said Isaribi.
"Well too bad… I'm going to get that wanna be god!" yelled Anko.
Sasuke stared at her.
"Are you still sore about losing to him?" asked Kiba to Sasuke.
Sasuke said nothing.
"If your own fault try to use an attack made of lighting when he can control it." Said Kiba.
"Okay…" said Sasuke with a sigh, "It was stupid."
As they climbed up, they saw Naruto fall to the ground.
"Okay… looks like Naruto is off." Said Isaribi.
"Nami's still up there." Said Sanji.
"And he still needs to pay!" yelled Anko.
They got to the top of the wall that they were climbing.
"All right let's split off into groups." Said Sanji.
"All right! You join me!" yelled Anko pointing at Usopp, Sasuke, Ino, "You guys form your own group."
"Why do we have to join your group?" asked Usopp.
"Because!" yelled Anko.
"I don't think she's very sane right now." Said Kiba with a sweat drop.
"Has she ever been?" asked Isaribi.
The two groups split up, going into two different directions.
"Remember Anko… the idea is to save Nami." Said Ino.
"Whatever…" growled Anko.
"She's going to cause problems isn't she?" asked Sasuke.
"She is…" mumbled Usopp.
Meanwhile below the Ark, Luffy was trying to get up… the ball was on top of him… and his head was trapped in the ground. Naruto landed next to him.
"Okay… I don't want to know how he did that." Said Kyubi.
"Who's there?" asked Luffy.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out." Said Naruto.
"Naruto!" yelled Luffy happily.
Naruto managed to get Luffy's head out of the rock.
"You escaped." Said Luffy.
"Yeah, I did." Said Naruto, "But I sort of left Nami there."
Luffy sweat dropped when he said that.
That was when Aisa and Pierre landed nearby.
"What's going on?" asked Aisa.
"This is my little brother Naruto." Said Luffy.
Aisa looked at Naruto.
"You two don't look alike." Said Aisa.
Before Naruto could say something, Luffy started running towards the beanstalk.
"Where are you going?" asked Naruto.
"I'm going to find that ship and chaise it down!" yelled Luffy.
"All right and I'll help you!" said Naruto giving him the thumbs up.
Luffy smiled.
Aisa sighed, she knew he would need her help, again.
Back on the Maxim, Nami was nervous, while she did managed to block his lighting there was no way she could stand up to him… especially after that speech she gave to him.
That was when a nearby door opened and an explosion hit Eneru.
"Usopp." Said Nami happily.
That was when the door slammed shut.
"Great…" thought Nami.
That was when the door was kicked open.
"That felt good." Said Anko.
"Remember we just want to rescue Nami." Said Ino.
"Yeah, yeah…" said Anko.
That was when Anko made several clones.
"That still won't work." Said Eneru.
The clones all ran towards him taking out kabob skewers.
He zapped the clones which disappeared into nothingness.
"A rule of the Kage is to go easy on certain opponents." Said Anko, "I'm going easy on you since I'm a distraction."
"Oh really you seem to angry to be just a distraction." Said Eneru.
"I have a grudge against you." Said Anko, "There is no way I'm going to let you cheat you against me like that!"
"Oh really?" asked Eneru.
"But… the thing is that I have bigger grudge against someone else!" explained Anko, "One that run so deep this is merely a shallow cut."
"What can this person do to you that would consider that grudge much more potent than this one?" asked Eneru.
"Trust me you don't want to know." Said Anko, she then created more clones.
Ino sighed in relief, "At least she's not doing anything too crazy."
"Come on Anko! We have to go!" yelled Nami.
"No yet." Said Sasuke, "We have to wait for Sanji group."
Eneru was getting angry with the clones so he sent out a lightning bolt at Anko.
However something got in the way… Sanji.
"Thanks I was just thinking I wanted a light." Said Sanji.
That was when Sanji collapsed.
"You okay?" asked Anko.
"Yeah…" said Sanji, but then he passed out.
"Sorry it took a while." Said Isaribi making her presence known, "But we were busy with something."
"What sort of something?" asked Nami.
That was when Eneru sensed something wrong with the ship. He turned to where he had to go, that was when he saw he was blocked by Hinata.
"You…" he said, unsure how to feel.
Hinata took a breath, her hands began to glow, which made Eneru sweat.
"What is she planning." Thought Eneru.
She ran towards him, she struck his left arm, the middle of his torso and his right thigh.
"For the next 5 minutes, you won't be able to use your Devil fruit powers." Said Hinata.
"What?" asked Eneru, he tried to use them, but found that he couldn't, he ran as fat as he could into the ship.
"That was amazing Hinata." Said Isaribi.
"Wait… wasn't it 10 minutes before?" asked Usopp.
"Oh that's only my limit for Paramecia." Said Hinata, "My limit for Logia is 5 minutes, in fact it's very rare for anyone to exceed that time limit."
"How are you do good at it?" asked Isaribi.
"When Tashigi was still trying to convince me to join the Marines she talked Smoker into letting me train that move on him." Explained Hinata.
"You know, we have to go and we have to go now." Pointed out Nami.
That was when Nami grabbed Hinata, "She just stopped him so she's ridding with me."
She grabbed the Waver and jumped off the side of the ship, the waver giving off a safe landing.
"Hey wait a minute!" yelled everyone else… well except for Sanji (who was still unconscious)
"Well we minds as well jump." Said Anko jumping off.
Everyone else was nervous but they followed Anko anyways. They weren't sure what kind of landing they have… but at least they were getting away from the crazy wannabe god.
Next time: Eneru begins his destruction of Skypiea. Will Luffy be able to stop him in time before he destroys a large chunk of it, or will an island fall? Find out next time!
