Chapter 349: The Separation

Everyone was in shock. Zoro just disappeared just like that.

"What did you do to Zoro!" yelled Usopp.

"He's still alive." Kyubi told Naruto.

"That's good." Said Naruto.

"Zoro where did you go!" yelled Luffy.

Chopper continued his rampage, conserving he was mindless at the moment it was going to be hard to stop him… especially with everyone exhausted.

They could only get away from the rampaging monster that was their doctor.

However at the same time some of the straw hats realizes something.

"That's the real Kuma." Said Nami, "I remember seeing the real Kuma do that to that girl on Thriller Bark."

"What?" asked Kiba.

Hinata had saw this and remembered it as well.

"This isn't good." Said Hinata.

"Wait… have you seen this before?" asked Naruto.

"I have…" said Hinata.

"At least Zoro's alive." Said Naruto.

"Are you sure?" asked Hinata.

Naruto nodded.

Ino was also gritting her teeth.

"Zoro!" yelled Sasuke.

That was when he felt pain in his neck.

"Sasuke!" said Ino.

"What did he do to Zoro." Muttered Sasuke.

"You have to calm down…" said Ino, "I've seen him do it before… but I don't know what he did."

"It's the real Kuma." Muttered Sasuke.

"Yeah…" said Ino.

"Oh dear…" said Brook.

Ino nodded.

With Luffy's fight…

"The bear man! Why is he here!" yelled Sentomaru.

"Hey! Don't ask us!" said Fu.

"What did he do to Zoro!" yelled Luffy.

"I'm the most defensive man in the world!" yelled Sentomaru, "they say that the anyone Kuma touches goes flying for three days and three nights. No one knows if it's true, only Kuma knows where they go. But one thing's for sure. It's not somewhere that they can easily get to from here. They're sent flying over the ocean."

"That's the real Kuma!" yelled Usopp in shock, "We fought three of them and what did he do to Zoro! Say something!"

That was when one of the duplicates was about to attack Usopp, Sanji and Gaara from behind.

"No watch out!" yelled Sanji.

However Kuma appeared right beside his duplicate and then the duplicate disappeared shocking everyone.

"He just erased one of his own guys!" yelled Usopp.

"What… he got PX-1…" said Sentomaru, "What are you doing! Don't' erase your own people!"

"We have to get out of here!" yelled Luffy, "We'll figure out everything once we're safe!"

"What about Zoro!" yelled Nami.

"He's right! We have to worry about him later." Said Kiba, "Akamaru."

Akamaru returned to a dog and jumped to Kiba.

"Let's go…" said Usopp picking up Sanji.

However Kuma was ready to attack that trio.

But before he could attack either Usopp and or Sanji, Gaara acted like a shield.

Gaara's sand was supposed be impracticable.

That's what it was supposed to be however…

Gaara disappeared right there and then.

"Gaara!" yelled Luffy.,

"No…" said Naruto.

Sanji began to freak out.

"What am I do! Two of our crew mates got erased right in front of me!" yelled Sanji.

He aimed and attack for Kuma, but Kuma stopped it with his paw pad and then pushed him away.

"Sanji!" yelled Ino.

However he was still there.

However he Kuma next went after Usopp erasing him.

"Usopp!" yelled Kiba in shock.

He couldn't stop himself, he ran towards Kuma.

"You bastard! I didn't get along with him but he was still my brother!" yelled Kiba.

However that Kuma suddenly appeared in front him and both Kiba and Akamaru disappeared.

"Kiba! Akamaru!" yelled Nami in shock.

"Why you!" yelled Sanji going for the attack.

But it wasn't much… Because Sanji too disappeared.

"Zoro… Gaara… Usopp… Kiba… Akamaru… Sanji… their all gone…" said Luffy.

'Kyubi says their all live though!" yelled Naruto, "We'll find them!"

Rayleigh on the other hand struggled with Kizaru.

However that was when Kuma approached him.

"So you're Rayleigh the dark king." Said Kuma.

He then whispered something to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh's eyes widened when he heard what Kuma had whispered to him.

"You expect me to believe you're the real Kuma?" asked Rayleigh.

"I'm putting my [position in jeopardy by doing this." Said Kuma.

"Kuma what are you doing?" asked Kizaru.

"In matters that don't involve the governed I'm not required to cooperate with the Marines. I won't answer your question." Said Kuma.

That was when he appeared in front of Franky, Isaribi and Sakura.

"Hey! You want to do something cherry?" asked Franky.

"Please don't call me that again." Muttered Sakura.

Both of them punched Kuma, but it didn't do much.

However that was when Luffy unleased Gear 2.

"Wait! Luffy that's what he wants!" yelled Robin.

"Don't!" yelled Naruto.

"Gum Gum Jet Pistol!" yelled Luffy trying to punch him.

But Kuma blocked the attack like it was nothing.

Then he faced the three.

First he hit Sakura, followed by Franky then Isaribi.

"NO!" yelled Brook.

"What are we going to do?" asked Ino.

Luffy was getting angrier and angrier.

However that was when Kuma appeared in front of Ino, Sasuke and Brook.

Brook knew he had to defend the two.

"I will defend you two with my life!" yelled Brook.

However it was all for naught at Brook disappeared.

Followed Ino.

Sasuke screamed, however before he could do anything he too disappeared.

"YOU BASTARD!" yelled Luffy.

"How is he even doing the!" yelled Fu.

"Devil Fruit." Reminded Chomei.

"Oh right!" said Fu.

However that was when Kuma appeared right with Fu, and she disappeared as well.

"Fu!" yelled Naruto.

The monster Chopper tried to attack Kuma.

However he disappeared.

"Robin!" yelled Luffy, "Just! Run!"

And Robin tried to.

But it wasn't enough.

Naruto, Hinata were the only ones left.

"Naruto… Hinata…" whimpered Luffy.

His brother and childhood friends were the only ones left…

However he appeared in front of Hinata.

"Hinata! NO!" yelled Naruto.

He grabbed Hinata… however while he grabbed her, it let Kuma to cause the two of them to disappear at the same time.

"No… no… no…" cried Luffy falling to his knees, "I couldn't save everyone!"

"So you're just going to blast him…" said Sentomaru.

"You better know what you're doing." Said Kizaru.

With Luffy on his hands and knees he cried.

"This is the last time we'll ever see each other again." Said Kuma.

And this with that Luffy disappeared as well.

And with that the Straw Hats were completely utterly defeated…

With the only ones together being Kiba and his partner…

And Naruto and Hinata…

But like Kyubi said to Naruto… all of them were still alive…

Just scattered all over the world… and they would not reunite for a long time…

Next Time: Naruto and Hinata land on island that has a large Marine Base. Will they be able to get off the island and find the rest of the crew? Find out next time!
