Chapter 208: End of the Games
Foxy's crew was in stunned silence. Foxy… lost…
Even if they were cheering for Luffy who would rather give up his life than lose a crew mate. Even so, Foxy never lost…
They were extremely torn.
Some of them cheered for Luffy others weren't sure.
However a good chunk of the crewmember drove into save their captain to the extent that the stands fell into the sea as well.
Sometime later Luffy was laying on the ground covered in bandages, he was unconscious.
"Come on Luffy, wake up." Said Usopp pointing Luffy in the face.
"Usopp." Said Sakura, "Please stop doing that."
"Okay…" whimpered Usopp.
That was when Luffy began to wake up.
"He's wakening up!" said Naruto.
"What happened" asked Luffy, "Was it all a dream?"
"You won." Assured Naruto.
Luffy gave a big smile, he was so happy about that.
"That's good." He said.
The crew was happy too.
Foxy walked over to him.
"Hey Straw Hat, you dared besmirch my perfect record." Said Foxy, he gave a smile and held out his hand, "Well done, brother."
Luffy stood up and took his hand.
However Foxy, had other goals in mind, mainly using the handshake to do a shoulder toss.
However he forgot something.
Luffy was a rubber man, so in the end all that happened was Luffy's arm stretching, causing everyone to sweat drop.
"What an idiot." Said Zoro.
"I know right." Said Sakura.
"Fail." Said Kyubi.
Foxy managed to get up, "Fine you know the rules, hurry up and choose someone." Said Foxy.
"That's right!" said Itomimizu, "It's time for the final personnel change! Who will Luffy choose, he wants a shipwright so which one will he choose will he choose Sonie, the leader of the 50 shipwrights, or the shipwright that can also fight Donavan or the sexy Gina who participated in the Doughnut race?"
Everything became silent as Luffy made his decision.
"I want your jolly roger." Said Luffy.
"WHAT!" yelled all of Foxy's crew.
Sanji kicked Luffy.
"Why didn't you take Gina?" asked Sanji.
"If I had gotten what I had wanted then I would have forgotten why I did this." Said Luffy.
"So unscrupulous to take away a pirate pride." Said Foxy,
"Don't worry, I won't take the sail." Said Luffy, "Without it you can go out to see."
"But out sail displays our symbol." Said a member of Foxy's crew.
"WE can't display the symbol anymore." Said another member.
"Don't worry I'll paint over it." Said Luffy.
"Straw Hat… you're so…" said Foxy.
Reminder… Luffy sucks at drawing, so the symbol looked like crap.
Needless to say, none of the crew liked the new symbol.
"They're so grateful." Said Luffy.
"NO WE'RE NOT!" yelled the entire crew.
"The victor is the Straw Hats! And this conclude the Davy Back Fight." Said Itomimizu.
After a while the Going Merry was let from Foxy's grasp.
"Yay the Merry is being let go!" said Usopp.
"I won't forget this Luffy! I'll be back!" yelled Foxy.
"I wonder if he will." Said Kyubi.
"If he does, I'll sue him." said Naruto.
"I'm even sure if you can." Said Kyubi.
And so the entire crew went to Tonjit's hut.
"Oh there you are." Said Tonjit.
Luffy held out Foxy's flag.
"I beat him." Said Luffy with a bit grin.
"But you're injured." Said Tonjit.
"I'm used to it." Said Luffy.
Chopper went to go care for Sherry's wounds.
They ended telling the missing crewmembers about why Luffy accepted the challenge.
"So that's why you did it." Said Nami.
"That's right!" said Luffy.
"Though I have the feeling if that didn't happen, you would have accepted anyways." Said Sakura with a sweat drop.
"Hey!" yelled Luffy.
"If only we could take you to where your village moved." Sighed Isaribi.
"But it's impossible." Pointed out Kiba.
"With this island made up of smaller islands." Said Usopp.
"It's okay you don't have to." Said Tonjit, "However I should invite you all into my hut if you need something to eat."
"No… not the cheese." Mumbled Usopp.
"The cheese?" asked Sasuke.
"Don't ask." Said Kiba.
That was when Tonjit bumped into something… or rather someone.
Right in front of the door to Tonjit's house was a very tall man. The strangest thing was that he was not only asleep but also wearing a sleep mask.
"Huh?" asked the man waking up, "Oh who are you?"
Robin fell to the ground and began to hyperventilate.
"Robin? What's wrong?" asked Naruto.
"Oh my Robin, you've grown up into such a pretty woman." Said the man.
"Robin, how do you know this guy?" asked Luffy.
"We go way back." Said the man.
All of the stronger members of the crew began to get ready.
"Oh no, my friends… I'm not here on orders, I'm here to take a stroll." Said the man.
"What do you mean orders?" asked Zoro, "Where are you from?"
"The marines." Answered Robin, "He's one of the admirals Aokiji."
"An Admiral?" yelled everyone in the crew.
Hinata sighed, "There are only three Admirals in the entire Marines… Aokiji has the powers of the Chilly Chilly Fruit…" she said, "From what I heard he can decimate pirate ship just freezing them… but there's something you have to remember."
"What?" asked Naruto.
"He's very lazy and won't take anyone out unless he absolutely has to." Said Hinata.
"Seriously?" asked Naruto.
"That's right, my motto is lazy justice." Said Aokiji.
This only made everyone sweat drop.
"You certainly have insider knowledge… it's no wonder why you have a bounty." Said Aokiji he began to lay down, "Oh man, I'm so tired of standing up."
"Are you real?" asked Usopp.
"He is…" said Hinata.
"Anyways, my only mission was to verify where she was since she disappeared in Alabasta, as expected she's with you." Said Aokiji, "Don't worry I have no intention of arresting you. But I should at least file a report that your combined bounty went up… 100 million, 60 million, 55 Million, 90 Million plus 79 Million is…"
"Add it up yourself." muttered Zoro.
Luffy began to get upset and wanted to beat him up because he didn't believe his story.
"Oh come on, just taking a walk, then walk all the way over there and go away." Said Luffy.
"Oh come on man." Said Aokiji.
"I think Luffy's winning this one." Said Nami.
"Unbelievable." Sighed Sakura.
"Either way, I heard your problem." Said Aokiji barley looking at Tonjit, "I'm a light sleeper and I was able to heard your conversation I believe I can solve your problem."
"Don't listen to him!" yelled Luffy, "He's a Marine."
There was an awkward silence.
"But isn't he the good guy?" asked Tonjit.
"Oh yeah…" said Luffy, "Almost forgot about the fact that they're usually the good guys and we're usually the bad guys."
"Seriously?" asked Sasuke with a sweat drop.
"He says he can help you." Sad Luffy.
"But that's impossible." Said Usopp.
"Uh… didn't you hear what Hinata said about his Devil Fruit?" asked Kiba.
"Wait…" said Usopp.
They all went to the area where the land brigade appears during the yearly low tide, they watched as he froze the entire area of the ocean.
"Wow! Just how big is that!" yelled Naruto.
"It should cover the whole island." Said Aokiji, "It should also last a week."
And with that with a tearful good bye to Tonjit who was very thankful to the crew began to travel to the other islands to find his village.
Luffy went back on land while shiver.
"Wow, it's just like winter there." He said.
Aokiji looked at Luffy.
"You know Luffy." Said Aokiji, "You're just like your grandfather, you're reckless and you have no self-control."
"WHAT!" yelled Luffy.
Naruto stood in front of Luffy.
"How dare you bring him up!" yelled Naruto, "Do you know what kind of crap that bastard put him through."
"I swear, he would have put Luffy into a pit of hungry cats if he thought Luffy would get stronger because of that." Said Kyubi.
"Oh that's right… I almost forgot, you're not related to his grandfather." Said Aokiji, "It's you're only related by your mother…"
Naruto gritted his teeth and glared at the man in front of him.
Aokiji got up, "I will leave you alive Naruto, due to the problems caused by killing a Jinchuriki, but I think I just changed my mind about Luffy."
And so a very complicated battle was about to beginning.
Next Time: Luffy decides to fight Aokiji, alone, Will Luffy be able to win... no wait... the better question is that will he live? And just how are Luffy and Naruto related any ways...
