Things were going Naruto's way, at least for now. Hinata had Sanji on the roaps, and Straw Hat was down as well. This swordsman ("Zolo, I think?" thought Naruto) was not going to hard or easy. No, just fun.

"Let's do this," said Zolo. "Gladly," said Naruto.

Naruto made 12 clones, then he ran at Zolo, only one at a time. Zolo easily parried the first 2 attacks, and stuck his sword into the first 2, making them disappear. He then noticed that the others were making that ball of energy that had knocked down Luffy. But this time, there were two in his hands. This would hurt, and Zolo knew it. He had to stop this now. But while 5 were making the 2 Rasengans, 2 others came at Zolo with Kunai, hoping that they could hold him off until his Duel Rasengan was ready. They barely blocked his swords, and then Zolo used one of his better attacks. He pushed through like they were nothing but then he was hit so hard and was spinning so fast that he didn't know what was going on.

Naruto had hit him with one Rasengan and is now in the air above Zolo. He hit him right in the face and Zolo went flying downward into the roof of the place they had just been eating. But the abuse wasn't over. A clone that Naruto had not used yet came up with Duel Rasengan to hit Zolo in the chest right before impact with the roof. He went down, hard.

"GUM GUM GATTLING CANNON!!!" Suddenly, a flurry of fists went through all the Naruto clones and Hit the real Naruto again and again. Naruto fell to the ground.

"Naruto!!!" Sanji fell baskwards as she left. She had done her job. Naruto had taken such a beating that he was not going to get up for a while.

"I'll get you Straw Hat," She said with a vigor she rarely showed.

"Alright! Another good fight!" But then he saw Sanji, "Nami!Usopp!You 2 get Zolo and Sanji while I hold them off!"

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Said Usopp, Nami just followed.

"Hey, how about we just go our different ways, for now," Said Hinata, realizing that He may still have more crewmembers who can fight, "We let you go, you let us go, deal?"

"Yeah, OK," Said Luffy, just jumping down after that,"

The Straw Hat Pirates then left, and Hinata tended to Naruto.
