Chapter 313: The Tyrant VS. The Pirate Hunter

Zoro glared at Kuma. Lola and her crew were going to help. But Zoro yelled at them telling them not to butt in.

"Your crew has become quite infamous amongst the rabble." Said Kuma, "I heard that Straw Hats Luffy has several underlings n his crew who agent's entirely without talent."

This of course flattered most of the crew.

"This isn't the time to that that a compliment!" yelled Lola.

Naruto was one of the few that didn't get faltered more because he was concerned with something.

"Why would he go after Zoro first?" thought Naruto.

"Look it's not important…" said Kyubi.

"Yes it is… I'm higher ranked than Zoro!" thought Naruto.

"Seriously you're letting your pride get in the way right now?" asked Kyubi, "And it's not important, we just have to figure out how to get everyone to safety because of that Devil Fruit of his!"

Naruto gritted his teeth.

"Zoro!" yelled Usopp, "Don't' do this it's too reckless!"

"He won't listen to you." Said Sasuke, "He's already made his mind…"

Zoro tired to use one of his attacks but Kuma dodged.

Kuma then tried to slammed his palm against Zoro from above but thankfully Zoro dodged. However a paw shaped whole was left in.

That was when Kuma pushed the air clearing a sword of cannon effect. Zoro managed to doge however it left paw shaped whole in nearby rocks and left Zoro breathing heavily.

"What sort of Devil Fruit Power does he have?" asked Naruto, "Because that's just crazy!"

That was when they noticed his palms.

"What's his hands?" asked Kiba.

"That's so weird…" said Isaribi.

"I wonder what he had have to do to get palms like that?" asked Kyubi.

"What?" thought Naruto.

"You see it an old wives tale boy got hairy… you know what never mind." Sighed Kyubi.

Zoro then used 60 Pound Cannon, however Kuma just reflect with just his paw like palms…

"He deflected that attack with his bare hands!" said Chopper.

"That's impossible." Said Sasuke.

"So that's his Devil Fruit Power…" said Hinata.

"So you're Devil Fruit power is the power to repel any thing?" asked Zoro.

"I ate the Paw Paw fruit and I became a pawed human." Said Kuma.

All of the Straw Hats stared at Kuma in disbelief.

"Really? That's his power?" asked Sakura.

"A pawed human?" asked Usopp.

"How can he say that with a straight face." Said Franky.

"Maybe he's just saying to use." Said Isaribi.

Robin didn't say anything but she was thinking about kittens.

"So that means he's been using his BEAR hands!" said Chomei.

Fu sweat dropped when she said that.

"Are you okay?" asked Ino.

"Sorry it's just that sometimes Chomei makes bad puns…" said Fu.

"At least she's not a perv." Said Ino.

"Oh yeah." Said Fu knowing about Kyubi's more perverted tendencies.

"You know… he might be one of the War Lords of the Sea but if that's he got then he…" said Franky.

However before he could finish that sentence, Kuma used that air on Franky. IT hit him so hard, he started coughing up blood.

Everyone was shocked at this.

"This is really bad…" said Naruto who began to shake.

"Maybe he's deflecting atmosphere." Said Robin, "After the average cannon doesn't have an effect on Franky."

"I call it The Pad Cannon." Explained Kuma, "Air pressure deflected at light speed and creating piercing shockwave."

Kuma got into a Sumo stance as he said the standard "No mercy" line Zoro got ready for the attack.

Kuma sent out many Pad Cannons, however Zoro dodged all of them .

Zoro's attack was about to hit, however Kuma easily deflected it.

Zoro landed hard.

"All those fights took a lot of out him." Said Gaara who seemed to be shaking.

"He can't keep this up." Muttered Sasuke.

Kuma appeared behind Zoro about to strike.

"Zoro behind you!" yelled Usopp.

However Sanji came in with a kick, hitting Kuma right in the face.

"Quit butting in." muttered Zoro.

"All right!" cheered Naruto.

"He wasn't repelled!" cheered Usopp.

However it wasn't effective as Sanji suddenly screamed in pain and clutched his foot.

"Black foot Sanji… I was expecting more than you!" said Kuma.

"He didn't even flinch from Sanji's kick!" said Usopp.

"What's going on with him?" asked Ino.

"Why is his face so hard?" muttered Sanji as he clutched his foot, "It's like steel!"

"Phenytoin Star!" called out Usopp sending out the phoenix like fire attack.

However Kuma was easily able to defect it.

"The King of the Snipers…" said Kuma, "That's a title you clearly don't deserver."

"THAT'S IT!" yelled Naruto coming out his BSOD.

He created many Shadow Clones.

"All right now go!" said Naruto.

The clone all began to jump him.

"Shadow Fox, the younger half brother of Straw Hat." Said Kuma he began to easily deflect they clones, "You hold the Kyubi no Yoko and you can use Shadow Clones… unlick Sogeking you're title says it all…"

Naruto gritted his teeth.

That was when Kuma did something, he created a paw shaped bubble in the air.

"Who is he doing?" asked Sakura.

"I don't know…" said Ino.

"He deflected a massive amount of air pressure with his paw pads and now he amping it up." Said Nami with her voice shaking.

"Translation?" asked Kiba.

"The energy created when that compressed air pressure is released will create a massive shockwave. Just like a bomb." Said Robin.

"A bomb?" asked Usopp.

"Oh man…" muttered Naruto.

"I will spare your lives." Said Kuma.

Everyone got excited and hopeful.

That is until Kuma gave his condition.

"If you give me the head of Monkey D. Luffy." Said Kuma, "If I have his head alone then the government will be satisfied"

"You want us to sell out a comrade?" asked Usopp.

Naruto began to shake… he was worried that they might betray him.

"NEVER!" yelled just about everyone there.

Naruto felt like crying.

"You might want to save your years kit… because this is going to hurt." Said Kyubi.

"What a shame." Said Kuma.

He realized the energy all at once causing untold destruction in the area…

And little did they know that wasn't going to be the worst thing that would happen that morning…
