Chapter 199: Sasuke's Ties
Sasuke prepared his sword, getting ready for whatever he was ready for.
He aimed his attack for Luffy remembering one of his weaknesses was sharp items.
But Luffy dodged them. Sasuke scowled.
That was when Naruto punched him in the face.
"You're fighting more than one person!" said Naruto.
Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"You are nothing!" yelled Sasuke, "All of you are nothing…"
Luffy punched him in the face.
"You really think Orochimaru cane give you power?" asked Luffy.
"Of course he can!" yelled Sasuke, "He's a Kage…"
"Former Kage." Corrected Naruto, "A crazy former Kage who was booted out for experimenting on people in insane ways!"
"So?" asked Sasuke.
"He's just using you." Said Naruto.
"How would you know?" asked Sasuke.
"I know because I met Anko… you want to end up like Anko?" asked Naruto.
Sasuke tried to come up with a response, but instead kicked Naruto in the face.
"Here's a good idea: Never ask him he wants to end up like Anko." Muttered Kyubi.
"Yeah…" agreed Naruto with a sweat drop.
"Gum Gum Pistol!" shouted Luffy punched Sasuke.
The punch was so hard that it knocked Sasuke into the wall.
"This is only getting started!" said Sasuke.
He ran towards Zoro with his swords drawn. He swiped at Zoro, but Zoro dodged each time.
"Sasuke, you're not strong enough to defeat me." Said Zoro.
"Why because I don't train as hard as you do?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes." Answered Zoro bluntly.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and glared at Zoro, he'd show him, he'd show all of them.
Meanwhile on the ocean, Sanji and Chopper were heading towards the ship which they could see in the distance. Chopper had to row while Sanji was look out
"What's over there?" asked Sanji.
They got closer to find it Usopp and Isaribi trying to get their hostage to give them web.
"Isaribi! Usopp!" Called out Chopper.
Sanji took over rowing and rowed over every quickly.
"Oh Isaribi! I'm so happy to see you!" said Sanji.
"Thanks…" said Isaribi with a sweat drop.
"Hey! I'm here too." Said Usopp.
"Yeah… yeah…" muttered Sanji.
That was when both the hostages saw each other.
"So you were beaten too." Muttered Jirobo.
"Shut up." Muttered Kidomaru.
"We can head back to the Going Merry together." Said Sanji.
"Yeah." Said Isaribi.
"It doesn't' seem to have moved." Said Usopp using his goggles to see up ahead.
"That's good." Sighed Chopper.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes on the ship so we won't lose it." Said Sanji.
"I think Usopp should be in charge of that." Said Isaribi.
"Yeah…" agreed Chopper.
Back on the ship, Sasuke continued to try to attack Zoro when a Naruto clone appeared and punched in him.
"What was that for?" asked Sasuke.
"Because you're fighting three of us. "said Naruto.
"Come back with us Sasuke!" said Luffy.
"And if he doesn't he would still be innocent." Said Kyubi.
"He's not exactly innocent." Thought Naruto.
"Not in the way I'm referring to." Said Kyubi.
Naruto rolled his eyes at the perverted voice in his head.
"Sasuke stop this! This is stupid!" yelled Luffy.
"You're stupid." Said Sasuke.
"Worst. Comeback. Ever." Muttered Kyubi.
Luffy proceeded to punch Sasuke in the head.
"You know… this is almost comedic." Said Kyubi.
"Why should I travel with you?" asked Sasuke revering from the blow.
"You never had fun?" asked Luffy.
Sasuke hesitated for a few second but then brought up some good points, "I might have had fun at some points, but you are a terrible captain! I don't know how many times I nearly died… or even the whole crew but you always do something stupid! Something stupid that should have killed us."
"I know I should be taking your guys side… but he a point." Said Kyubi.
"Shut up." Thought Naruto.
"Do you know what a pain living on the ship is? I mean only once did we do something reasonable on this trip! And that was to make sure Nami got better." Sasuke muttered, "And maybe right afterwards when we had to get food."
"You knew what we were getting into when we joined." Said Zoro.
Sasuke's eyes widened when he said that.
"You saw how stupid and idiotic these two were." Said Zoro, "But you went anyways."
"We're standing right here." Said Naruto and Luffy.
Sasuke gritted his teeth.
"You're just sore because of your brother." Said Naruto, "This is what it's all about."
"Shut up!" yelled Sasuke, "Just shut up!"
Sasuke kicked Naruto into the air. However Luffy responded by punching Sasuke in the face.
"Naruto's right." Muttered Luffy.
Sasuke fell to the ground, he didn't know how to react.
Elsewhere back with Isaribi, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper. Usopp was tying the two boats together, while Chopper made sure that the rope which was made from spider web was securely on Isaribi.
"Thanks for getting him to give us spider web." Said Isaribi.
"Not a problem!" said Sanji giving the thumbs up.
"I can't believe you would kick a man while he was down." Muttered Kidomaru who was covered in shoe print shaped bruises.
"What do you expect we're pirates." Said Sanji.
"Okay! I'm ready to go." Said Isaribi.
Isaribi began to pull the boats very quickly.
"We should back in no time." Said Usopp.
Back on the giant ship, Sasuke laid on the ground.
"There is nothing I can say can I?" asked Sasuke, "IF I say something about Orochimaru, then you'll point out how evil he is or bring up the Anko card… if I mention how stupid you all are then you point I agree to this… I've been with you though so many things…"
"You knew the whole time Luffy would just drag you back." Said Zoro.
"Yeah." Said Sasuke, "But… unlike Nami I'm not going out without a fight."
Sasuke proceeded to stab Zoro in the side.
Sasuke stood up was Zoro just stood there in shock.
"I've known you most of my life Zoro." Sais Sasuke, "So don't worry… miss all vital organs."
Sasuke gave off a crazed smiled as the cursed seal began to spread across his body like a black fire.
"Well it's looks like we're going to have to switch to just beating him up." Said Luffy.
Naruto nodded, this fight was only just getting started.
Next Time: Sasuke unleashes the power of the second seal. Naruto, Luffy and Zoro know that if they work together they will be able to beat him... All that and more in chapter 200!
