A/N: Okay, two things: First off, like the past two years, I will be attending Fanime next week (Friday the 25th through Monday the 28th) and I will be taking next week and the week after off because of it. So just letting you know (and I hope some of you are attending)
Second: This chapter reveals just how Luffy and Naruto are brothers... I knew if I ever got to this point I would reveal it. So yeah... I hope at least one of you guessed correctly... enjoy.
Chapter 209: Frozen
Aokiji sat on the ground while a silence washed over them.
"I can't help but to comment on the irony that he's saying he wants to kill most of the crew while sitting on his butt." Said Kyubi.
"That's not helping." Thought Naruto with his eye twitching.
"Yeah… I know…" said Kyubi.
"The world government doesn't think that much of you. But now that I have a closer look I can see that I see that your crew has grit." Said Aokiji.
"Yeah, yeah." Said Naruto, "We get it, we're small and dangerous. Why did you really change your mind."
"I thought you weren't raised by him." Said Aokiji, "Why are you like him?"
"None of your business." Muttered Naruto.
"Fine… the real reason is because of Nico Robin." Said Aokiji.
"So you are after Robin." Said Luffy, "I'll kick your butt!"
"The level of bounty is not by power but threat level to the government." Explained Aokiji, "And for someone so young to get a bounty, what a survivor she must have been."
There was an awkward silence.
"People took you in and you used them. With that cunning, it's no wonder you survived in the underworld and now you joined this crew." Said Aokiji.
"Just what are you saying?" asked Sanji.
"Calm down." Said Hinata.
"The only tie I have to her is that I once let her get away, and that was a very long time ago." Said Aokiji, "You'll know soon enough just how much a troublesome woman she really is. But the thing is that every single organization this woman has joined as fallen and she's the only to survive!"
"Kit… something's not sitting right with that statement…" said Kyubi.
"You're right…" thought Naruto.
Naruto took a breath, "Well what about the Fourth Hokage?"
"What do you mean?" asked Aokiji.
"She traveled with the Fourth Hokage! And she wasn't the cause of his death." Said Naruto.
Aokiji blinked, "Well you're right about that one…" he said, "I guess that's just the exception that proves the rule."
This was what caused Robin to snap.
"Just what are you trying to say!" yelled Robin, "If you want to capture me just do it!"
She then summoned many of her arms. They grappled him in many ways.
"Oh well I guess I said to much. I would have thought you were smarter though." Said Aokiji.
That was when Robin broke his body, which crumbled into pieces of ice.
"She killed him!" yelled Chopper.
"No… she didn't, he's a logia remember." Whispered Hinata.
He came back together.
"That wasn't very nice!" said Aokiji.
He grabbed several blades of grass, he blew on them which formed an ice sword around it.
"I had no intention of taking your life." He said.
But before he could cut her, Zoro came in and blocked the sword, not only that but Sanji came and managed to kick the sword out of his hands. However Aokiji grabbed Zoro's arm and Sanji's leg. But this just gave Luffy an opening.
"Gum Gum Bullet!" shouted Luffy.
However it didn't do anything.
Worse off Luffy's hand began to freeze, as well where Aokiji grabbed Sanji and Zoro.
"He got all three of them at once!" said Nami.
"This isn't good, they have frostbite!" said Chopper.
Naruto gritted his teeth and entered half demon mode and ran towards Aokiji. But Aokiji dodged.
"What fine comrades you met up with Nico Robin…" said Aokiji, "But you're still the same person."
"No, I'm…" said Robin.
However Aokiji grabbed her and began to freeze her whole body.
"She'll be alive, unless someone smashes her." Said Aokiji.
Before he could smash her, Naruto blocked with his tail while Luffy grabbed her out of the way.
Aokiji hand began to sizzle and pulled back.
"Demonic Chi," said Naruto, "Kyubi told me that it can melt even the coldest ice."
"So, you trust the Kyubi no Yoko." Said Aokiji.
"Yeah, I don't have a choice." Said Naruto, "I die, he dies. He's too smart not to try to get me killed."
"No I mean the creature who killed your father." Said Aokiji.
"So what!" yelled Naruto, "I know my dad died during the Kyubi attack! So what I came to terms with that a long time ago!"
Luffy looked at Chopper and Sakura.
"Chopper! Sakura! Get Robin out of here." Said Luffy.
Sakura and Chopper grabbed Robin's frozen body.
"The world is better off without her." Said Aokiji.
Naruto stood in front of him.
"You have to get passed me first." Said Naruto.
Aokiji glared at the boy.
"No…" said Luffy.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"I'm fighting him." Said Luffy.
"What? Why?" asked Naruto.
"Because, Robin is part of my crew and…" said Luffy.
Naruto sighed, "Fine captain."
"Kit, you're the only one to stand a chance against him…" said Kyubi.
"I know that." Said Naruto, "We should all go back to the ship! Now!" he called out.
"Oh come on!" yelled Zoro.
"You two need care." Said Hinata, "Your arm and leg may have to amputated if it's not treated."
Both Zoro and Sanji began sweat.
They left Luffy to fight the admiral and went back to the ship. Naruto created a clone and punched it when they had gotten back.
"Naruto…" said nom, "What does Luffy's grandpa have anything to do this?"
"Luffy grandpa is an asshole all right." said Naruto, "It's no wonder why Luffy hates him. I'm so glad I'm not related to him."
"See I told you it was a blood brother thing." Said Ino, "They may act alike but they're not related."
"No, Luffy's my half-brother." Said Naruto, "We had the same mom but different dads. I have no idea about Luffy's dad but the mayor and the asshole told me that my dad gave his life to help fight off Kyubi."
"I win…" mumbled Sasuke.
"THIS ISN'T TIME FOR YOUR LITTLE SIDE BETS!" yelled Usopp, "Why did you leave him alone!"
"You don't get it! Do you!" yelled Naruto, "Why he left it one on one!"
That was when Zoro and Sanji jumped on board, the two were melting the ice.
"So you figured it out as well, right?" asked Zoro.
"I'm not an idiot." Said Naruto.
"All the time." Corrected Kyubi.
Naruto sweat dropped when he said.
"I'm sure the fight ended by now." Said Naruto, "I'm going to get my brother."
Naruto created the clone and the two left.
Hinata sighed.
"You knew didn't you." Said Ino.
Hinata nodded, "I think it's best if you don't talk about his grandpa unless we see them. Luffy doesn't like talking about him."
"What do you mean see him?" asked Sasuke.
"We're sure to meet up with him eventually." Sighed Hinata.
"I have a bad feeling about that." Said Isaribi.
"Me too." Said Kiba.
Naruto found his brother frozen and thankfully not smashed to bits. He and his clone took him back to the ship. The rest of the crew tried warming them up as much as they could.
In the end thankfully they were both saved.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Kiba looking at Usopp.
"All I did was run around." Said Usopp.
"Hey I didn't do much either." Said Kiba, "That's just what happens."
"Year, yeah." said Usopp, "Do you think he's going to come back?"
"I have no idea." Said Kiba.
That night, everyone in the crew slept, expect for Robin. She laid awake, just staring at the ceiling.
Little did they know this event would start the shakeup of a major change in the crew, whether they knew it or not.
Next Time: After Luffy and Robin recover they learn where the next destination is and learn all about the Sea Train. Meanwhile Naruto decides to ask Robin about her time with Kakashi and the 4th Hokage... what did she do exactly with them? Find out next time!
A/N: Yes, Naruto and Luffy are half brothers, I don't know what mom I'm going to use if Luffy's mom ever gets revealed but who knows... And yes, like many things in this story I've been planning for years!
