Chapter 331: Let's Save That Octopus We Hate!

The Flying Fish Riders came for a fight… then left after throwing some bombs…

It was quite anti-climatic.

Like everyone talking about how anti-climatic it was.

"Well that was anti-climatic." Said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"Seriously, they just came and went." Said Sasuke.

"Maybe they got a communication." Said Robin.

"Maybe, but it's hard to tell." Said Isaribi.

"I want to ride a flying fish!" cheered Luffy.

"You'll probably crash it." Said Ino.

"They're probably be coming for us from the sky." Said Sanji, "We have to plan for that."

"I'll bring the cannons to the deck." Said Usopp.

"Plus I can fly remember!" said Fu flying.

"I hope Hatchin is okay." Said Camie.

Sakura and Nami looked at Camie.

"So what should we do if it's him?" asked Sakura.

"I know I feel kind of guilty since she's so sweet." Said Nami.

"I know… but that the same time." Sighed Sakura, "And you're the one who had it worse."

Nami looked at Camie and sighed.

"We'll deicide when we get there." Said Nami.

And soon enough they got there, which was a floating city.

"Hey Kit… what joke should I make about it." Said Kyubi.

"None… because I don't understand half your jokes." Thought Naruto with a sweat drop.

"Be careful everyone! I've been captured by them 30 times!" called out Camie as they got closer.

"That's getting kidnaped way too many times!" yelled Usopp then realized something, "And you've been eaten way to many times."

"Yeah… I think you need to be watched 24 7." Said Ino.

They approached the floating city.

"This place is quiet… too quiet." Said Naruto.

Naruto and Luffy suddenly high fived.

"You just wanted to say that didn't you?" asked Sasuke with a sweat drop.

"Can't blame them you know." Said Usopp.

"Why what's wrong?" asked Camie.

"Come on, this place is obviously a trap." Said Ino.

"But there's no enemies around!" said Pappagu.

"You don't understand how traps work, do you?" asked Kiba with a sweat drop.

""You're so untrusting!" yelled Camie.

"Why would you think they would do that that!" yelled Pappagu.

"Maybe that's why you keep getting captured!" yelled Franky.

That was when they noticed a cage above the water and something was in the cage, it was clearly "Hatchin".

"I'm right here Camie! Don't worry!" called out "Hatchin".

He was also black but it was clear.

"That's not going to work!" yelled Nami.

"We know it's you idiot!" yelled Sakura.

"What! I have no idea what you're talking about!" said "Hatchin".

"I fought Kisame a while ago." Said Sakura, "He told me you appetency went straight and now runs a Takoyaki stand."

"Oh… yeah, I heard about that group… they've been doing a lot of bad things." Said "Hatchin".

"He confirmed it." Muttered Ino.

"Of course!" muttered Naruto.

"Wait! So Hatchin…" said Camie.

"He was part of a crew that did very horrible things to our home island." Said Sakura.

"No…" said Camie, "It can't be true!"

"I'm sorry but his crew… they… they…" cried Sakura who began to shake.

"Hey!" yelled Luffy, "You're the guy worked for Arlong! But I have to know…"

there was an awkward silence.

"Are your Takoyaki really that good?" asked Luffy.

"Yeah! Their the best." Said Hatchan.

"Luffy!" muttered Nami face palming.

"They sounds really good!" said Naruto.

"Just… just stop." Sighed Nami.

"We knew this was going to happen." Said Sakura.

"You won't rescue him?" asked Camie, "Fine then.."

She looked at Hatchan in the cage.

"Hatchin! You're always rescuing me, so now it's time for me to rescue you!" she called out.

"Wait!" said Hinata.

"Look I understand that you have issues with him! But we have to save him!" yelled Pappagu joining Camie.

"that's not what I meant!" said Hinata.

The two of them dove into the water… and was immediately captured by a trip of Fishmen.

"That's what she was trying to warn you about." Said Usopp with a sweat drop.

"Yeah." Said Hinata.

"We have to do something." Muttered Sanji.

"You know Sakura… he's not as a bad as the others." Said Nami.

"I know…" said Sakura.

"Wait…" said Naruto.

"It's okay to help him, besides it's for Camie…" said Nami.

"Luffy!" said Sakura.

"Let's go save the Takoyaki!" said Luffy as his eyes looked like Takoyaki.

"His eyes!" yelled Usopp.

"Are you really surprised by that?" asked Kiba with a sweat drop.

Luffy grabbed Camie and Pappagu much to their joy.

Naruto then created clone to kick the Fishmen in the face.

"Thank you so much Straw Hat! You're awesome!" called Hatchan.

"Yeah! I know!" said Luffy, "Zoro cut the ropes to the cage!"

"You got it." Said Zoro with a smirk.

"You surd you can handle it?" asked Sakura.

"Stop treating me like I'm going to break!" yelled Zoro.

"Careful Straw Hat!" called out Hatchan, "You're in the middle of a trap, the flying fish riders are below the water!"

"Yeah, I know!" said Luffy, "But land or sea we can handle it!"

That was when the Straw Hats all got ready for a fight, including Nami and Sakura.

"Wait! I thought you weren't going to fight!" said Usopp.

"We changed our mind." Said Sakura.

"That's right!" said Nami.

And the fighting began… with the flying fish come up from the water and beginning their attack.

With the flying fish bombing them.

However Luffy had his own plan.

Grabbing one of them and tossing away the flyer.

Sanji kicked away half the bombs while Gaara shielded the other half.

"We have to tie up the sails!" called out Nami.

"I'm on it!" called out Fu.

"Shouldn't we be concerned that Luffy hijacked one of the fishes!" said Kiba.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"I'd be more concerned that Luffy isn't wearing a bubble around his head.

"Wait… why?" thought Naruto.

"Dive!" yelled one of the riders.

The fish dived into the water… taking Luffy with them, into the waters below.

"CRAP!" yelled Naruto.

And indeed the fight to save Hatchan had began with quite the bang. Granted part of them really wanted to do it… but hey cute and sweet mermaid girl… also food… can't forget the food… but still the fight was from over…

Especially since their leader had a grudge against one of them… a grudge that can't be easily fixed.

Next Time: The fight to rescue Hatchan continues but why does the leader of the Flying Fish Riders hate them so much? Well the reason is quite simple... however a little bit horrifying. What is it? Find out next time!
