Chapter 231: Car Cutting
Back on the Rocket Man, many of the ones from Water 7 were well… playing three Hundred Pound Cannon.
"Seriously?" asked Sakura.
"Stop playing around!" yelled Zoro.
"We're bored." Answered Lulu and Zambai.
"Go polish your weapons or something." Muttered Zoro.
That was when Luffy stuck his head in.
"Hey, there's something up ahead." He said, "It looks like the sea train!"
"It's a bit too early to see that." Said Kokoro.
Many of them left the cabin to see what it was. Indeed it was the train cars that Sanji unhitched.
"Hey! I'm going on ahead!" yelled Luffy.
"Wait!" yelled Sakura.
Luffy launched himself at the train cars.
Of course they heard a ruckus going on, particularly gun shots.
"You think he's done for?" asked Zambai.
"No." sighed Sakura.
"Hey! Zoro! Cut these in half!" they heard Luffy yell.
Zoro smirked.
"Gottcha." He said.
"I'm going back inside." Muttered Sakura.
"You sure that's a good idea?" asked Isaribi "You are the strongest among us."
"I know that you can use my strength, but I have a headache." Muttered Sakura face palming.
Isaribi shrugged.
Sakura went down into the cabin.
"Are you all right?" asked Chopper.
"Just something stupid going on outside." She sighed.
Outside Zoro sliced the ship in half… everyone who wasn't a member of the Straw Hat crew were in shock.
"You should know." Said Isaribi who was outside, "He can easily cut a ship in half."
"You have got to be kidding me!" yelled Tilestone.
As they continued on the way they saw something else near the tracks, it was a sea king sliced in half.
"Something's still out there." Said Isaribi.
"I'll handle it." Said Zoro putting his bandana on his head.
As it turned out Captain T-Bone also known at the ship Slasher was on the tracks trying to catch up to the Sea Train.
"It's the Ship Slasher!" yelled Zambai.
"What?" asked Isaribi.
"Captain T-Bone, of the Marines." Said Zambai, "They call him the ship Slasher. Due to the fact she slashes them up like Stakes."
"You mean like that…" said Isaribi pointing to the wreckage of the seatrain.
"Well…" said Zambai kind of embarrassed but realized something else, "Ready the artillery!"
"Wait don't." said Luffy, "Let Zoro handle it."
"Remember, he just sliced those train cars like it was nothing." Said Isaribi.
Zambai remained silent, mostly because he was thinking they were all insane.
Of course Zoro only defeated him in one move.
Luffy and Zoro came into the cabin.
"So Naruto and Sanji left that for us?" asked Hinata.
"Must be." Said Sasuke, "It sounds like something they would do."
"All right!" Luffy, "We're getting close! Let's meet them soon!"
Meanwhile on the Puffing Tom, Naruto and Sanji get to the car filled with the members of the CP9.
"Whoa! You guys are the bad guys!" yelled Naruto.
"What a tweest!" yelled Kyubi.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"Never mind." Kyubi, "Wait you didn't know about this?"
"Know about what?" asked Naruto.
"You know what? I live inside your head so I will keep quiet now." Sighed Kyubi.
That was when Franky punched someone through the ceiling.
"Well, that was unexpected…" said Naruto.
"Where did you come from?" asked Sanji.
"The roof obviously." Said Naruto.
"Did you two finish off the ramen freak?" asked Franky.
"I did, someone knocked out Sanji before he could help me." Said Naruto.
They watched as Lucci horribly finished off the guy Franky fought then tossed him out of the train.
Lucci coldly told Kalifa that he wasn't strong enough and to tell their superiors that.
"You are a bastard!" yelled Naruto.
"You're one to say." Said Lucci.
That was when Kyubi froze, it hit him.
"Kit… dare him…" said Kyubi.
"Dare him what." Said Naruto.
"Sea Stone." Said Kyubi, "I want to talk to him."
"Hey! Can you give me sea stone!" yelled Naruto.
There was an awkward silence.
"Aren't you a Devil Fruit eater?" asked Kalifa.
"Yeah, but it's complicated." Said Naruto, "Just a little piece, it doesn't need to be big."
That was when he heard sarcastic applause from Kyubi.
Lucci however tossed him some Sea Stone handcuffs.
"What are you doing?" asked Franky.
"It's hard to explain." Sighed Naruto.
He grabbed the Sea Stone handcuff, "Is this enough?" asked Naruto.
"Plenty." Said Kyubi.
Naruto slumped then regained his stance, however it was Kyubi controlling his body.
"So what are you holding over Robin's head?" asked Kyubi possessed Naruto.
"What do you know?" asked Kaku.
He glared at Kaku who froze, he quickly realized that Naruto was no longer in control.
"Kyubi no Yoko." Said Lucci.
"The moment I met you, I knew you were bad news." Said Kyubi Posses Naruto, "So answer my question."
"What's going on?" asked Franky.
"It's the demon inside of Naruto." Said Sanji, "When he was born a demon was sealed within him. Don't worry, he's on our side."
"So tell me, I'm can handle the truth." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto.
Lucci snorted, "Says the demon."
"Please. You're not exactly pure." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto.
"You're right." Said Lucci, "That woman mere existence is wrong."
"So what is it? Her Devil Fruit Powers… or is it Ohara…" said Kyubi possessed Naruto.
"Ohara?" asked Naruto.
"Holding it over head, the trauma she endured." Said Kyubi, "I know about Ohara, after all it's hard to not notice the World Government wiping an island off the map."
Lucci glared at Kyubi.
"Do you honestly like your vessel?" asked Lucci.
"Please don't do this…" said Kyubi possessed Naruto, "I just spent the past 14 years in this kid. Sure he's an idiot. But hey, I could have ended up in someone like you."
Lucci remained calm.
"The world will be a much happier place without her." Said Lucci.
"So killing innocent people for world peace. Is that really okay?" asked Kyubi possessed Naruto, "I can tell her crime isn't what they say it is."
"You know nothing." Muttered Lucci.
"I might look young but we all know, I'm much older than you are." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto.
"Her fate has been sealed." Said Lucci, "Well before they do that I'm sure that World Government will wrong out all of her knowledge, experience and intelligence so they can use it."
Sanji ran towards him but Kyubi possessed Naruto stopped him.
"Not worth it." Said Kyubi possessed Naruto.
That was when Robin came into the car with Sogeking trying to drag her back into the other car.
"Robin!" cheered Sanji.
"So that's her…" said Franky, "She does look a little like her wanted poster."
That was when Robin pushed Sogeking to the floor.
"You don't understand." Said Robin.
"Please…" said the Kyubi Possessed Naruto, "We both know the ties Naruto has to Minato… you really think he will betray you?"
"But he's not him." Muttered Robin.
"Minato? As in the fourth Hokage? Is this about him sealing you into me?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah… sure… let's go with that." Said Kyubi not wanting to admit the truth.
"Franky! Cut that car off! I have a plan!" yelled Sogeking.
"It better be good sniper boy…" said Kyubi, "You do come up with ideas."
"Why is Naruto acting strangely?" thought Sogeking then saw his eyes were red, "Oh it's him…"
Sogeking used a smoke bomb to blind everyone, and grabbed Robin the in confusion.
They ran towards the other car which was separated from the rest of the train.
"Nico Robin is ours!" cheered Sogeking.
"All right!" cheered Sanji and Franky.
"Too easy…" muttered Kyubi Possessed Naruto.
Turns out the demon was right… as the CP9 had a plan to get them back…
This rescue operation had little chance of success.
Next Time: The CP9 tries to get Robin... well strike the try, they are very powerful after all. What will happen? Will Kyubi even fight back! Find out next time!
