Chapter 24: The Great Escape!
Tsunade glared at the Bananagator… the Bananagator glared back…
"Is she insane?" asked Smoker.
"No… she's Tsunade." Said Luffy, "She scares everyone…"
That's when Tsunade upper cut the Bananagator sending it flying, leaving Smoker to break is normally clam exterior.
"How the hell was she able to do that?" he yelled.
"She's Tsunade… what do you expect?" asked Nami.
Meanwhile outside Orochimaru went to hide while Crocodile asked one of his men who was barely conscious where Ginta where he was… Crocodile managed to find them after a minute of searching, he calmly strumming a guitar.
"Well is it the bastard…" said Ginta.
"So it's you the Sand Rocker." Said Crocodile.
"That's Desert Rocker." Said Ginta.
"So you decided to oppose us after all after all those invitations I sent you." Said Crocodile.
"Like I said I can't stand a bastard like that… I always wondered why… maybe crazy people mad with power remind of the 4th Kazekage… now he's a fucking bastard." Said Ginta.
The two of them looked at each other, Ginta took out bottles and opened them.
"So you think you can beat me this time?" asked Crocodile.
"I don't know… mainly because every time we fight it's a draw." Said Ginta with a smirk.
Sand began to float around in the air… this as going to be an epic battle.
Meanwhile in the room with an immortal woman with super strength was fighting a giant alligator and winning. Vivi was thinking how she should get up the stairs… that's when she remember her wires. She grabbed one of her scrolls and summoned a rather large shuriken and used it as a grappling hook.
Tsunade sighed as she watched Vivi leave.
"When this is all over I'm going to work you hard until you fit enough to jump over roof tops." Said Tsunade, "None of you are fit enough to such things yet."
Everyone but Luffy and Smoker in the cage gaped.
"That sound like fun…" said Luffy.
"That's because you can use your rubber powers to bypass it." Said Kyubi.
Luffy could laugh at it.
Up in the casino, Vivi was trying to think how she was going to save everyone when she felt someone touch her shoulder it was Usopp and Kaya with Akamaru.
"Usopp! Kaya you're okay." Said Vivi, who was unsure if Tsunade was right about her theory.
"Don't worry we're fine, Ginta just got them with some sand." Said Usopp.
"Is everyone all right?" asked Kaya.
Vivi sighed, "We have to come up with a plan."
"So what's going on exactly." Said Usopp.
Meanwhile the in the age of doom! The Straw Hats noticed something… it was slowly flooding.
Oh great… this is helping…" muttered Tsunade, "And the only one with any real skill with water juts us isn't here right now…"
"Is Tsunade getting anger a good thing or a bad thing?" asked Tashegi blinking.
"Depends." Said Zoro.
"Are you going to tell me what's going on or not?" asked Smoker sinking on a seat that made sure he wasn't effect by the rising waters.
That's when Ace and Luffy collapsed.
"Damn, the reincarnation of two of the greatest ninjas of all time get weakened by water… this is just great… that Kaya girl better get here soon… because I have a feeling that only that attack. Will help…" said Kyubi sighing heavily.
Back out side the two sand users were once again dueling it out side… the tow sand attack crashed together causing Mini Sand Storms.
"So Ginta… you still going to go against me?" asked Crocodile.
"What the fuck do you think?" asked Ginta, "You know what's funny! You still think you can beat me!"
"I've gotten stronger and I'm not going to glut some punk beat me!" yelled Crocodile.
"I have too… so Crocodile! You want to become Peg Leg Pete to go that nice hook hand?" asked Ginta with a waked smile, "Not I know how I control my sand powers you fucking ass hole… Now that I know you have no chance against me…"
Crocodile gritted his teeth… he stormed away, he that Ginta didn't like killing for a reason but still Ginta could still take away his limbs… he's done it before. Little did he know was that Orochimaru in one of his less freaky looking personas watched.
"So it's strike one… and apparently he's face Ginta many times before." Said Orochimaru, "Akumi!"
Akumi appeared in a puff of smoke, "yes?"
"Watch Crocodile's next moves, if he looses against The Fox tell me… After all that will mean he can't stand up against the Reincarnations after all…"
"Fine…" said Akumi.
Back inside the chamber of Doom, Vivi lead the others there… Tsunade was wiping a sweaty brow…
"Hey!" said Tsunade who seemed to have calmed down some what.
"What about the other Bananagator?" asked Vivi.
Everyone in the cage pointed to a nearby window where all the Bananagator were frozen in fear.
"After seeing me do this to their friend they know not to mess with me." Said Tsunade with a smirk, "Oh Kaya… do you think you can do something with the rising water."
"I haven't tried any of Hinata's water Justus yet." Said Kaya.
"If there's a time for you to try it's now." Said Tsunade.
"Tsunade's right…" said Usopp, "That's why me and Akamaru are finally going to use Fang over Fang on that cage!" said Usopp.
"And suffer massive head trauma… maybe you shouldn't." said Tsunade with a sweat drop.
"What do you mean massive head trauma? Vivi said that will suck up Chakra!" yelled Usopp.
"And it's also harder than diamond…" said Tsunade.
Usopp sweat dropped.
"Where is Chopper?" asked Tsunade.
"He's trying to find Eyelash." Said Kaya who began to form hand signs, "Water Globe Jutsu!"
When Hinata and Naruto started dating, Naruto encouraged Hinata to break away from her Clan's high and mighty attitude when it came to using other Justus and Hinata became specialist in water Justus…
The water moved away from floor including the cage and began to flow in a growing globe made of water that hover high into the air.
"Great now we have to figure out how to how get out of this cage before Kaya runs out of chakra." Muttered Nami.
"You should really get up, the water resided." Muttered Zoro.
Luffy got up quickly recovering beet Ace was still knocked out.
"I think he's asleep." Said Luffy getting up.
Everyone else sweat dropped.
"Listen I got a plan, we both know that this has seal that will suck up chakra, right, but I have a feeling it's just normal Chakra is will suck up…" said Kyubi.
"What do you mean?" asked Luffy.
"Go into first tail mode and use the Rasengan." Said Kyubi.
"But I haven't even practiced the Rasengan yet." Thought Luffy.
"I know that… but you know it's really easy to use it first tail form." Said Kyubi.
"I have even tired any of the tail forms." Thought Luffy.
"Just do it or I'll make you remember the horrible stuff from Naruto's memories for a week." Said Kyubi, "I have control over what you remember…"
"Fine…" thought Luffy.
"Okay!" Yelled Luffy, "I need everyone to stand back! I have an idea!"
Tsunade saw the look on Luffy's face… she knew what it meant.
"This better not get out of control! We still need to find that no good pervert!" yelled Tsunade.
"It will be fine." Said Luffy giving his trademark grin, though on the inside he as just as unsure as Tsunade.
That's when Ace woke up.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Um… we might want to back away…" said Nami.
"Why?" asked Ace.
"Because Luffy's going to go Kyubi for the first time." Said Nami.
"Oh…" said Ace like it was nothing.
Everyone but smoker in the cage backed into the corner.
"What the hell is going on?" he yelled.
"Have you heard the legend about the 16 Reincarnations?" asked Tsunade.
"What are you talking about?" yelled Smoker.
"Ask some other Marine about it if you must…" muttered Tsunade.
"Okay, I'm ready…" thought Luffy.
"All right! Super Kyubi transformation go!" yelled Kyubi.
"What?" thought Luffy.
"Hey… I'm the one who remembers being in limbo, not you." Said Kyubi.
That's when a red glow surrounded Luffy, he hair became messier and longer, his eyes turned red and silted, his canines grew into a full blown fangs, his whisker marks burdened, his finger nails grew into claws that when the glow around him became fox shaped. He held out his hand a purple sphere began to form in his hand… it was the purest legacy of Uzumaki Naruto… a technique which his created and something he himself perfected… the Rasengan! Although this was the special Kyubi Rasengan, which could only be done in his Kyubi Forms… Luffy slammed the ball into the cage creating a huge explosion… the good news it did indeed blast a hole into the cage… the bad news… the explosion caused Kaya to stop conceiting on the giant ball of water which began flood the room again… what was even worse was it also destroyed some nearby windows the to the lake. Oops…
