Chapter 376: He Sacrificed Himself Again!

IT was thanks to the Whale Sharks they were safe. They were now on the ship sailing away form that horrible prison.

Surrounded by whale sharks the ship sailed on.

"Thank you whale sharks!" cheered Luffy.

"Don't celebrate just yet." Said Jimbei who took the heal.

"Huh… he's a the helm… he seems natural at it." Said Kyubi.

"What?" thought Naruto.

"Trust me you'll understand eventually… going to take a while though." Said Kyubi.

"We need to neutralize the poison in Inazuma! Bring me the medical supplies!" yelled Ivankov.

A couple of them left to the intermarry to get what was needed.

However it was clear they weren't out of the woods yet.

AS the other ships were still nearby.

And they could still attack.

And once the cannons were repaired they did so.

And of course they were fired upon and soon they were riddled with explosions.

"All officers that are vice admiral rank and above were sent to Marineford. However a warship is still a warship. It's dangerous no matter who is commanding it." Explained Jimbei.

However that wasn't the only problem as in front of them were the Gates of Justice. Which were currently closed.

"Oh come on! We should have known this was going to happen!" yelled Naruto.

"It's a dead end!" yelled Luffy.

"Huh…" said Kyubi.

"What is it?" asked Naruto.

"I noticed that someone is missing." Said Kyubi.

That was when Minato realized the same thing… that someone was missing.

"Who?" asked Naruto.

"You'll see later." Said Kyubi.

Naruto was confused at Luffy was freaking out about protecting the ship.

"Don't just evade the ship. Return their fire you worthless fools." Muttered Crocodile.

Buggy got their ragtag crew to do so, while Luffy bounced the cannon balls back.

However the marines fired at them were confused especially with the gates of justice closed.

However that was when suddenly they started to open up.

"What's going on!" yelled Mr. 3, "Is it a trap!"

"Awesome!" cheered Naruto, "I can't believe their opening."

"I know…" said Luffy, "It's all right!"

Magellan on the other hand was very confused at what was going on and went to the control room.

What he didn't know was a second Magellan there giving the order to open the gates…

Of course it was the one who was missing Bon Clay…

Once again he stayed behind, sacrificing himself so that others can get away.

Reminder: This is not the first time this had happened. He acted as. Decoy for the Straw Hats before…

And Jimbei told Naruto and Luffy this fact.

"He securely did that again!" yelled Naruto.

"Bon did that…" said Luffy, "But he was back with us at the entrance…"

"We're just going to leave him behind?" asked Naruto.

"We don't have time…" sighed Jimbei.

"So we're just going to abandon him!" yelled Luffy.

"We have already lost hundreds of comrades to get this far! You'll only lose more men and your brother will die! Someone had to stay behind and open the gate!" yelled Jimbei.

"But your plan was stupid!" yelled Naruto, "He didn't have to do it!"

"Really who could have done it without any causalities?" asked Jimbei.

There was an award silence among the brothers.

Jimbei sighed as he took out the Baby Snail Phone.

"The range is short, once the gates close the connection will be cut!" said Jimbei.

Both Luffy and Naruto knew they had to call him.

"Con is that you!" yelled Luffy.

On the other end Bon Clay was shocked as he told Jimbei not to tell them that.

"Why did you do it? Why did you sacrifice yourself like last time!" yelled Luffy.

Bon Clay was shaking.

"Why didn't you tell me about this plan!" cried Naruto, "You could have avoided this!"

Bon Clay didn't answer back.

"I could have created a transformed clone!" yelled Naruto "You didn't have to sacrifice yourself. It would have worked… it wouldn't have been the first transformed clone I used today!"

"He's right! You always help us! But I never got the chance to repay you back!" yelled Luffy.

But Bon Clay didn't answer back.

"If you're there! Answer me Bon!" cried Luffy.

As he made his call the other escapees heard this. They were all surprised.

"Mr. 2?" asked Mr. 3.

"I'm so sorry I did all those things!" cried Buggy realizing his sacrifice.

"Bon that gate's about to close! We're going now!" said Luffy, "Thank you!"

"Thank you so much!" cried Naruto.

"Straw Hat Boy! Fox boy!" cried Bon Clay on the other end, "Go save your brother!"

Luffy and Naruto started to cry.

"I know you can…" said bon Clay as the connection started to fizzle out.

The gates closed and the ship was free!

"That idiot!" yelled Naruto, "He didn't have to sacrifice himself! He didn't have to do that! He should have told me the plan! I could have done it with a clone!"

Naruto was shaking badly from this.

"Naruto…" said Minato, "You can't dwell on this… you have to be strong to save Ace…"

"I know…" thought Naruto.

"You shouldn't be doing this… to be honest…" said Minato, "Your still a kid… and…"

"Shut up…" thought Naruto.

Inside the cage Minato flinched.

"I have my reason for being a pirate so early… and you should know the reason…" thought Naruto.

Minato sighed as he looked at Kyubi.

"Look… everything will turn out fine." Assured Kyubi, "I'm sure he'll survive this…"

Naruto sighed at this.

"I have a really feeling he will… don 't know about his face but I know he will live." Assured Kyubi.

"His face?" thought Naruto.

"Yeah… the poison might do that to his face… I'd make a joke about him not being pretty any more… but even he knows he's not the most handsome guy… hell I'm pretty sure he knows that too…" assured Kyubi., "So don't feel too bad… things will work out."

Naruto sighed at this as he joined in the crying as Luffy wasn't the only one crying at the moment.

Inside Naruto's mind, Minato sighed.

"How do you do it?" asked Minato.

"I know him…" sighed Kyubi, "and if you want him to love you have to get to him too."

Minato sighed at this.

And so they sailed on… and with over 200 prisoners escaping it was the worst event in the prion's history. However the day wasn't over and that day wasn't over yet…

After all there was still Marineford… and that war… was going to make what happened at Impel Down look cute.

Next Time: They head to Marineford... however there's a few hiccups such as many of the escapes unaware of their real goal. Will they able to make sure they help them save Ace? Find out next time!
