Chapter 2: Death of a Legend and invasion of justice.
"…As for my favor…Do you get the newspaper from the world government?" At Minato's hesitant nod his smirk grew.
(Back at the camp)
While Minato and Roger talked the others at the camp were chatting and having a good time, well all but one, a young jounin that wore a blue suit, a green flak jacket same as the other Shinobi, and a facemask that covered the bottom half of his face.
For as young as he was it was odd that he had white hair, what surprised the other pirates was that his headband covered his left eye as if he were blind in that one. The reason he wasn't having as good of a time as the others was for the fact that two pirate apprentices would not stop arguing over which pole was colder, this bothered no one else, and one person seemed to be asleep, even with everything else going on around him.
Shanks and Buggy were in each other's faces "The North pole is the coldest, everyone knows that."
"You are so stupid sometimes big nose!" Shanks retorted. "Going north it gets hotter, going south it gets colder."
"Kami damnit!" Kakashi finally had enough from the two. "It doesn't matter which is colder you morons!" He took a moment to calm down. "How the hell did you two ever survive the trip here?" he honestly asked.
Shanks just blinked while the clown like pirate smirked. "See Shanks-baka…even our new friend thinks you're wrong."
"No he clearly agrees with me don't you one eye?"
There was a pause then Kakashi yelled out and charged the two not really caring if this caused a fight between the two groups. Before he got to striking distance three bottles flew out from the group hitting the teens in the side of the head, shattering the bottles, and knocking them all down. Rayleigh walked over and slapped the three with one swipe.
"That was three bottles of ale you broke fighting amongst yourselves. Stop fighting amongst yourselves damnit!" he looked at the dazed and bleeding group only to sigh. "Crocus fix these kids up."
The doctor grumbled as he walked over to the downed teens. "The youngins done get ina scrap did they?" a new arrival asked getting a nod toward Rayleigh and a broken bottle kicked at him from crocus.
"What'cha doing here Rob?" the straw hat wearing pirate asked the orange haired shipwright an small, muscular man with hair that went to his neck and scars all over his face from his many battles he took part in.
"Jack got some holes in'er belly from going over them rocks so I'm gonna fixer up for when we take off…where's the cap'n at?"
"He's over there talking to the yellow guy who fought roger." Rayleigh motioned with his left hand.
"Thanks boss two!" he said as he walked to where the vice Capitan motioned.
(With Roger and Minato)
"…I knew it was too good to be true." A slightly agitated Minato said. "it was wishful thinking on my part." Roger gave a curious look
"And that would be?"
"(Sigh) that you would leave after what you said…I was fully prepared to bring you to Konaha till ya said that you couldn't go there."
The Pirate King laughed. "Yea but my partner talked to me 'bout it and he was right…if we went there it would only cause Raftel to get in some shit with the world Gov."
The blond gave an understanding nod as a scarred individual made his presence known. "Oi, cap'n our leave's gonna be a wee mucked up."
"Why's that Rob? She take some damage?" he asked unworriedly, receiving a nod for his answer. "Damn! How long?" this was the first time the blonde jounin saw Roger not grinning.
The small man thought for a moment then hummed. "Say 'bout a week."
Roger sighed then his grin returned. "Well we'll just have to take a short break!"
Minato set his drink down and began to stand. "Where you going?"
"Tell my squad our trips going to be delayed…can't have pirates running unattended now. Can we?" he asked as he passed the shipwright and moved toward the camp. Roger only chuckled at the Shinobi.
(Three Days Later Pirates Campsite)
It had been three days since the Roger Pirates arrival to Raftel. "I'm bored!" A select few hadn't found anything to do and were lying around namely Shanks and Kakashi. "What do you wanna do one-eye?"
The white-haired Shinobi growled. "The name is Kakashi and STOP asking me!"
"Why the attitude one-eye." The masked teen was having trouble suppressing his killing intent by now. "I know!" he yelled as he sat up. "HACHI RANDAMU KAIZOKU GEMU!" He called out as he jumped up.
'Eight random pirate games…the fuck is that?' all of the Shinobi thought while all the other's started to cheer. It died down as Gaban moved up to Shanks
"We have a challenge between nakama red-haired Shanks and one-eyed Kakashi …Do you both accept." Shanks instantly said yes Kakashi just shrugged after he thought it'd pass the time and he could get a drink…so why not?
"Why not." As soon as the words left his mouth a chair was placed behind him and Shanks and a table between them.
"Let the first match of the HACHI RANDAMU KAIZOKU GEMU begin!" The host of said games was apparently Gaban. "The first event will be a drinking match between the instigators of the games…BRING OUT THE SPECIAL!"
After his yell, Crocus walked up to the table along with Roger two shot glasses and a clear bottle with a green liquid in hand. A homemade label was taped on it at an angel Roger's Special. The liquor was placed in the center of the table and the two contestants given their glasses. "The rules are simple! First to pass out losses if both do so then it's a tie." He smirked. "Are you both ready?" at their nods the doctor poured their Special. "Then…BEGIN THE GAMES!"
They killed their shots right away. "Ya ready to lose one-eye?"
The Shinobi chuckled as the glasses were refilled. "I was just about to say the same to you."
The sword wielding pirate scoffed. "As if I'd lose to a man that hides his face…How in the hell did you drink that without removing that mask!?" this gathered the others attention, besides the Shinobi of course, who just rolled their eyes at him, for they knew what was about to happen.
He slowly picked up the drink and moved it to his mouth. "Well it's simple really…" it reached his lips and a large smile grew on his face. "…I'm that good." And with everyone watching he kicked the drink back and swallowed it without hindrance.
"HOLY FUCK!" they all yelled "HOW'D YOU DO THAT!?" They asked.
He chuckled again. "You better drink the shot less your chickening out." At that the others came back from their surprise and Shanks drank his shot with a grumble.
(Three shots later)
"ush un oossh! (you're gonna lose!)" A drunk straw hat wearing pirate said.
"Foosh ush aredy ost! (Fool you already lost!)" an equally shit-faced Shinobi stated.
Both picked up their drinks and moved them to their mouths but just before they drank the Special they started to lean to the side and fall, Roger grabbed the shot glasses from the now unconscious duo as they landed on the ground.
There was a pause. "I saved the Special!" the Pirate King yelled then everyone cheered. He kicked both drinks back at the same time causing another round of cheers.
The group settled down after the two unconscious people were dragged to the medical tent by the doctors for alcohol poisoning (Special's a kick ass liquor) Gaban made a calming hand jester. "Well it seems the games' first participants came to a tie." He looked around the gathered group. "For our next game we will need fifteen minutes to set up."
As Gaban took a few crew members with him to set up whatever it was they were setting up a few Shinobi were talking amongst themselves.
A spikey black haired man with a moustache, and wearing a grey high collard outfit with sunglasses looked over to another Konaha Shinobi "These games are…interesting." a jounin there, not cheering for the games said to other man there, the pineapple haired man had black hair and a goatee with a meshed shirt underneath his flak jacket, a deer skin coat over that and green hand guards. The two scars that adorned his face were his most noticeable fetcher.
He looked over to the stoic individual and grumbled. "Troublesome is what they are."
Roger had an unhinged jaw while staring at the two. "They talked!" he called out gaining the others attention. "IT'S A MERICAL!" the remaining leaf-nin were snickering at their squad members, who were now subject to Roger's...unique personality. One Shinobi in particular, a feral looking woman that had brown, wild, untamed hair, with a dark red fang mark on either side of her face, she also had slit wolf-like eyes adding to the already feral looking woman, she wore the common Konaha uniform just without the Hitai-ate had a similar experience the other day but could see what was so funny and openly laughed at her friends.. "WHERE'S MINATO! HE HAS TO HEAR THIS!"
"He's checking Oro out!" A distracted sounding Gaban yelled to his leader.
"Damn and I was hoping he would hear the Ninsect-guy and Deernin-guy talking." He sighed. "Well at least god gave them speech."
The Ninsect-guy, as Roger labeled, adjusted his sunglasses. "You reaction is quite illogical to the two of us talking." Roger only stared at him.
"Did you just…insult me?" A large smile grew on his face and he laughed. "I like you Ninsect-guy." Roger looked at Deernin-guy who grumbled something about 'troublesome pirates' and chuckled. "Don't worry your cool too Deernin-guy." He slapped the two on the back as he walked by. "Oh. Hay Tsume-Chan!" the laughing woman stopped and gave a warning glare. "…Never mind." After he thought about what he was going to say, if he said it not even the fact her dog companion being absent would save his ass.
"IT READY YET!"
"YEP!" The glasses wearing pirate walked out from the curtain that had been placed up to prevent prying eyes from seeing what the next game would be. "Gather 'round, I've got the next game ready for you fine folks today!" he reached back grabbing the certain behind him and made a quick jerk pulling the curtain down, revealing a eight foot round mat with a round, red, circle in the center of it.
"For this I'm gonna need Seagull." A large, bald, dark-skinned man stepped forward, he also had a pig-like nose, and wore all black shirt and shorts. "And the big fucker back there." He pointed to a large, long haired, redhead with two purple markings on his face and instead of the normal Konaha uniform he wore a black samurai like outfit with armor that had the kanji for…food on it. And he was the only one there that didn't have a Hitai-ate; instead he wore a white hachimaki (stylized headband). When he realized Gaban was calling him up he made his way through the crowd.
He asked the man he called forward his name. "Choza Akimichi"
"Alright Choza, go to the mark at the left. Seagull, go to the right." The two moved to the designated spots with a slight shrug. When they were in their spots Gaban moved in the center circle. "Alright ya bastards this game's gonna be a sumo match between Choza Tank Akimichi." Said Shinobi raised his eye slightly. "shut up, that's you nickname…and his opponent is Seagull Ship Smasher Jackson." The pirates cheered, pumping up the bald man. "It's best two out of three if you get pushed out of the outer circle you lose…so don't get pushed out." He lifted his hand up. "Ready?" They both got in a sumo position and nodded then he brought the hand down. "Begin!" As to not get crushed, the cheerful axe-man jumped out of the coming battle.
The two collided in the middle right after the black haired pirate jumped back. Pushing against one another the groups were cheering for their respected player in the match.
The taller Seagull started to force the Shinobi back and his momentum wasn't stopped till the earring wearing nin was a foot away from losing. The Akimichi purposely slid back and leaned to the right causing the taller man to lose his balance and Choza used that to his advantage. By the time his opponent halted his momentum the dark-skinned man had already lost. A massive cheer came from the Shinobi (except from the Deernin-guy and Ninsect-guy of course.)
Gaban returned to the center after the two sumo wrestlers were back in position. "Well that was certainly unexpected." He laughed a little. "Winner of round one is Choza 'Tank' Akimichi." Another round of cheers were silenced when the host's hand was brought up again. "Ready?" Both nodded again. "BEGIN!" This time when he jumped back the two waited an extra second then charged each other, set on beating the other.
this time Seagull wasn't going to take his opponent lightly, like he did in the first round. Just before they crashed he lowered himself slightly and grabbed the Akimichi at a lower area then the last time.
Due to his victory in the last match Choza let his confidence get the better of him and wasn't full prepared for the tactics change. So when Seagull grabbed him, he was caught unaware with the bald man's new advantage and couldn't counter the move in time.
Seagull used his new hold and his strength to win the second round by lifting the Shinobi in the air and throwing him out of the ring with a small grunt of exertion on his part.
Choza slammed into the ground the pirates cheered for the Ship Smasher's Victory while the Shinobi expressed some concern for their ally, but it was unneeded as he got up and walked back to the mat with a look of determination on his face.
"Well this is certainly exciting!" Gaban said as he walked to the center for the start of the third and final round of this game. "SEAGULL JACKSON IS THE WINNER OF ROUND TWO!" There were more cheerers as Gaban made it to the center where he waited for the two challengers to make it in their positions this final time. "The final round of sumo wrestling, will decide the winner of the second game!"
He put his hand up when they got in position and asked for the third time. "Ready?" He didn't receive any answer this time, just two determined opponents. He took that as his answer moved very far from the two large men. "ALRIGHT FATASSES! BEGIN!" now normally the two large men could hold their anger at being called fat, something that they would normally laugh at; however, this time the two men were worked up, pumped, and angry that their opponent got the better of them during the last matches.
When they collided in the middle it actually sent out a shockwave. "I'M NOT FAT!" Choza, and Seagull yelled at the same time, causing Gaban to laugh.
"Holy shit it actually worked!" he was referring to the fact that calling them fat was like tying a chicken to two alligators heads, after they got worked up from the fights.
Everyone could feel the energy flowing out of the two, luckily the mat wasn't wood or it would have been splintered from the force being exerted on it. The clash lasted for forty more seconds then Seagull forced Choza to step back, as to not lose he dug his foot in the mat and moved against the Ship Destroyer. At a snail's pace he pushed Seagull back, no matter how hard he tried The Tank would not stop in his movement.
Ever so slowly, to the two locked in a test of strength moved to the edge of the mat, seagull took a moment and inhaled he then threw the Shinobi away from him. However, a laughing Gaban went in the center of the 'ring' showing the match was over the two looked down at each other's feet to see who won and showed the same face of victory. It was silent, no one knew who had won both wrestlers were out of the mat's outer circle.
"The winner of game two, round three in the Hachi Randamu Kaizoku Gemu is…" he paused, for dramatic effect or to piss everyone off no one could tell. "Choza The Tank Akimichi!" Seagull had stepped out of bounds first, but both groups cheered.
The two, worn out, wrestlers walked up to each other and gave a bow of respect then walked off the mat to get a cold drink.
The Deernin-guy gave Choza a lazy congratulation and laid down next to the redhead, as said redhead chugged a glass of water. "Thanks Shikaku. Damn he's a strong son-of-a-bitch." Another Konaha Shinobi walked up to him. The man had shoulder length blonde hair, that was spikey in the front and put in a ponytail at the back, he wore the common flak jacket over a black outfit with arm and hand-guards. "Yo Inoichi! What's up?" he asked his green eyed friend with a smile.
"Nothing much. Nice win, by the way." Choza laughed.
"It was fun!" He joyfully exclaimed.
"ALRIGHT SHITHEADS! GATHER 'ROUND!" Gaban yelled out causing the others to shuffle over to a poker table. "Next game's gonna be Texas hold'em…so I need three of you ninja and three of you pirates to step on up." After a quick discussion Shikaku, Inoichi, and Tsume decided to play for team Leaf while Crocus, Rayleigh, and Gaban for team Pirate. Since the money didn't match it was just a friendly match using the chips.
Every other seat had a Shinobi so there was no chance of cheating using the person next to them.
"How bout we make this a little interesting since we can't put up real money?" Tsume said with a grin the group looked at each other and nodded. "If we win the you give us the recipe for that special." She paused at the pirates wide eyed look.
"And in return?" Rayleigh asked.
"Well I suppose there is a chance we'll lose so if that happens then well give you three hundred gallons of wolf whiskey with the recipe." That sounded fair, the other day Tsume summoned a wolf messenger and had it bring out some whiskey to give a proper toast to new members of the 'pack' as the Inuzuka said. They all agreed and began the game.
Shikaku got the dealer button, while Gaban had to put in five for the small blind and Tsume ten for the big blind, Shikaku gave each person their two cards and it goes to Crocus who calls the ten, signifying the start of the third game.
(An hour later)
Minato sighed as he walked back to camp. 'That damn ship is amazing, how the hell did they cross the reefs?' as he continued moving he heard a commotion coming from the camp and sped up to see what was going on.
(At the camp a little bit before the Namikaze herd the commotion)
The last two people playing were surprisingly Tsume and Crocus and it was intense a total of twelve hundred was in the pot and either person still in had another twelve to go.
On the table there were two aces, a seven of clubs, and a two of clubs on the table.
The doctor looked up. "All in." Was all he said.
"You sure 'bout that doc?" at his nod she grinned. "Okay, don't say I didn't warn you."
They went in and crocus flipped the final card a four of clubs. "on three." The holder of the wolf summons nodded once. "One." The doctor said
Tsume growled out a "Two."
"Three." They both said and flipped their cards. It was silent for what seemed to be hours until.
"Son-of-a-bitch!" Most of the pirates had similar thoughts, two rare hands right in front of them. The doctor had the other two aces, while Tsume had a three and five of clubs, the winning hand for the recipe.
When the Shinobi realized they won they cheered. The woman jumped on the chair and pointed at the newly recovered Shanks. "Get a bottle of Special!" she yelled causing him to wince from the volume. The other Shinobi were dancing as almost all of the pirates (Except Shanks and Rayleigh, one was too drunk the other just too serious) for losing the Special's recipe.
This is what Minato saw when he got back to the camp. "DA FUQ?!" He intelligently stated/asked. Roger miraculously recovered and was at the new arrivals side, with an arm over his shoulder before he could blink.
"Minato, glad you could make it!" He didn't stop smiling.
"What the hell is going on?" the blonde asked after a moment to collect his thoughts.
"…Well Shanks and Kashi-Chan were a wee bit board so we decided to play Hachi Randamu Kaizoku Gemu…" He went on to explain the event's leading up to what was currently proceeding around them. "…and now we owe you our recipe." He began crying again. "WHY!?" the Pirate King called to the heavens.
Gaban was the quickest to recover with an announcement. "We still have five games to get through before tomorrow!" When he spotted the new arrival he smiled. "Let's put on a race, two vs. two relay the start will be right here, the first half to our ship where our shipwright Robby will call me to tell me when the other two set off to finish the relay." He looked at the two leaders. "The final stretch will be completed by the two lovely commanders." He motioned to Roger and Minato. "Who's up for the first stretch?"
"Buggy is!" Shanks answered for his friend. None of the Shinobi moved for a minute.
"Fuck it, I'll go up against the clown." The feral Tsume said causing Buggy to yell at her, but being ignored it fell on deaf ears.
The two got to the starting line as the other contestant disappeared towards the Oro Jackson. Scooper held a bottle in front of himself. "May the fourth game…" he dropped the bottle and yelled. "BEGIN!" just as it hit the ground causing the two racers to shoot off in the direction their respective leaders headed in.
A few Shinobi's eyebrows were above their heads. 'For some one that complains so much he's a lot stronger than he looks if he can keep up with Tsume.'
(With the runners)
To say the Inuzuka was surprised would be an understatement; here was one of the weakest members of the Roger Pirates keeping up with the strongest and fastest member of the clan, she might not have been going top speed but still, it was impressive.
Buggy saw the surprise in her eyes when he looked over and he laughed. "I might not be the flashiest, but I am the fastest on our crew." She gave off a grunt and Buggy's smile slipped a little. 'Fine then, let's turn it up a notch!" He began to gain distance on Tsume who rolled her eyes.
She could tell Buggy had a grin on his face as they dodged and weaved through the forest. 'Well let's wipe it off.' She told herself, her fetchers become more feral, claws, and k-nines lengthened then the Inuzuka got on all fours. "Ninja Art Beast Mimicry." Tsume said to herself just before she blew past the gloating pirate.
Buggy's grin quickly left his face when he realized he wasn't first. "THAT FLASHY BITCH!" The red-nosed teen roared. 'Well since she's using hers I might as well use my flashy power.' With that he stopped and separated both of his feet from his legs and grabbed each in a hand, now parallel to the ground with his feet barely touching he yelled out his move. "Barra Barra no Morigaido!" (Morigaido is a combination of forest and glide in Japanese so forest glide). And he shot off like a rocket, now maneuvering like a plane through a city.
Tsume definitely wasn't going as fast as she could, assuming that this boost would be enough to pass the second half off to Minato. Her eyes widened when she smelled the clown-boy closing in, and fast. 'NO FUCKING WAY!' She didn't want to believe it, he caught up and as to not lose she had to increase her speed.
(With Minato and Roger)
"I never thought I'd be racing against a PIRATE as if he were my friend." The blonde chuckled
"You ARE my friend." He smiled. "But you're not winning this round."
Before the little spat could continue their ears picked up a sound of two high speed runners and the two shared a glance as they prepared to run.
"Damn that was fast!" The orange haired shipwright barked out and looked behind them at the ocean water hitting the beach. "Are they gonna be able to stop on ti-"his question was cut off as two high speed blurs rushed by and the second racers took off. The two forces created a small sand twister, blinding Robby he did however, hear an enormous splash and got soaked a moment later.
When the sand cleared he looked at the water again and started running toward the water. "God Damnit Buggy! Why in the hell can't someone swim when they eat a FRUIT of all things?" Before Rob could dived in the water soaked Inuzuka came up with a sputtering Buggy and threw him on the sand.
"Thanks bitch." The weaken clown panted causing the shipwright's jaw to it the floor.
Tsume grinned. "Not a problem cocksucker." She retorted causing Rob to look like a gaping fish. "Don't tell me your sore 'bout getting saved by a woman." The Clown rolled his eyes in response.
He wasn't really up for the trash talking right now. "Give me a minute ya flashy whore…then I wanna go see the look on your flashy face when the blond bastard loses."
(Just as the two ran off)
Minato and Roger exchanged glances as they kicked off the sand toward the camp, sending the two straight into the trees, they kicked off the trees low to the ground splintering each one from the force behind it.
Minato sent some more chakra through his legs getting a power boost for each stride gaining ahead on the King of Pirates. The next tree he kicked off of, which was much, much smaller than all the others, shattered in front of Roger allowing the Shinobi to gain more distance between the two from Roger's hesitation.
Roger's grin never left. "Alright bastard, I'll play." He kicked up the biggest piece, a baseball sized hunk of wood, which he then kicked with as much force as he could slight to the right and took off again.
There was no way Minato could lose now; he was at least one hundred yards ahead of the pirate. Just as he thought that he stopped to avoid a chunk of wood from splattering his brains across the woods and began running again after it exploded against the tree in front of him and the debris cleared. 'Damnit Roger, you pirate baster'
The little pause and speed loss was enough of an advantage for the raven-haired pirate to catch up with Minato.
The two were neck and neck, closing in on the finish line, the final stretch came into view and roger pumped more chakra to his legs. He crossed the finish line first and they both put on the air breaks, kicking up dust and digging a trench in the dirt.
When it cleared the Shinobi were cheering along with some surprised pirates, at the fact Roger lost. Gaban came up to the two.
"Alright! We have four more games to get through, the pirates are down zip-three." He chuckled. "Seems that were close to losing don't it?"
Then Buggy and Tsume showed up. "NOOOOOOOOOO! WE CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER GAME!" the blue headed clown yelled.
"That's right." Gaban wisely stated. "The games will end if we do…So let's begin the fifth game!"
(A few hours later)
"Winner of the seventh game, weapons crafting." A blackened Gaban almost growled out. "Is Buggy the clown for the massive explosion he created with the Muggy Bomb." Said person gave off a nervous laugh.
The score was now tied three to three, in game number five, a knife throwing match between Kakashi and Crocus, the winner turned out to be the doctor winning by one bulls-eye. Game six was a small football game six against six first to three touchdowns winner, with Roger scoring the winning TD.
Then the most recent game…weapons crafting, Buggy went up against Inoichi in this one due to his vast knowledge on plant reactions it was thought he would win no contest however, Buggy had other plans and created a bomb, without a recipe, that took out half the camp and covered everyone in a layer of soot.
"We'll take a twenty minute break to get cleaned up then start the deciding game eight." With that he walked away mumbling about dumb, lucky, apprentices.
After the group got cleaned up and set the camp back to its previous state a large, round, matt, surrounded by an octagon cage was revealed, with a VERY happy Gaban in the center of it as the referee. "The final match of every game is game eight, a fight between the two Capitan's of the crew. In this case a Capitan and a Kage." He paused. "This will be a till knockout or submission match, no weapons, no special powers, just close quarters skills." The final participants took off their shirts and shoes, leaving then in their pants, they got in the ring and the glasses wearing pirate announced the beginning of the end.
He motioned to his right. "In this corner at six foot three inches, weighing in at one hundred-eighty pounds, the Pirate King with a bounty of three point six billion Beli, from Loguetown, Roger D. Gol!" he then motioned with the other hand. "And in this corner at five foot eight inches, weighing in at on hundred-forty pounds, the Yellow Flash, from Konaha, Konaha's next Kage!" the blonde rolled his eyes. "Minato Namikaze!"
Gaban raised both hands and backed up. "MAY THE FINAL GAME OF THE HACHI RANDAMU KAIZOKU GEMU BEGIN!" Right after he said that and dropped both hands, a bottle was broken in replace of a bell by a Hyuuga, who was the brother of Hiashi Hyuuga, Hizashi Hyuuga an oddity in the clan for he was the opposite of his other family members, and not a strict or stern Hyuuga. He wore the normal jounin outfit with his Hitai-ate covering the curse seal on his forehead.
The round started off quickly both wanting a win for the bragging rights if nothing else. Roger began with a left jab the blonde dodged and countered with a right to the chest; he leaned back to reduce the damage and brought his left leg to Minato's hip.
The future Kage grunted from the pain and brought his elbow down on the offending leg, the pirate brought it down before he could connect and rolled away. Minato advanced on the rolling King and dished out a heavy right that was blocked when Roger crossed his arms in front of him.
He pushed his arms forward and the Kage slid back allowing the King to stand up, the two danced around each other throwing heavy rights and left hooks, one hit that could be the deciding factor for this match. Roger threw a long uppercut as a feint that Minato saw threw and slid his left between his opponents feet and kicked to the left causing Roger to lose his balance 'cause of the uppercuts sweep and fall to one knee. The blonde backhanded the mustached man with his right and gave him a jab with his left, before the assault could continue, Roger lunged forward knocking the blond down and pinning him down.
Roger assaulted the Kage with a rapid barrage of punches to the face, Minato kicked the King causing him to stop in his barrage, and Minato freed his hands and threw Roger off of him. The bloodied blond got up without pause and whipped the blood dripping down his eyes then he smiled. 'This is fun.' The grin on his opponents face showed he had similar thoughts. Roger danced towards the other fighter as did the blonde, Roger threw a right the Kage blocked with his left and countered by grasping onto his outstretched hand, and he pulled the King into a knee to the stomach, forcing the wind out of Gol's lungs. He then let Rogers hand fall and got the Capitan with a right, left, left, uppercut combo knocking him down to the ground. In his excitement he went forward toward the downed pirate but was quickly halted by Roger spinning like a top, hitting the Kage twice, knocking him back to the fence.
The Pirate King did a kip-up and landed on his feet, then he charged toward the dazed man and went for a palm thrust to the center-mass of the chest, Minato let the hit come then grasped the pirates hand, he elbowed the man in the jaw, sending spit and blood flying, then spun, sending the pirate into the fence as well. He quickly kneed him three times in the right side, but hopped back when Roger shot a right at his jaw.
Minato came back at roger throwing a left jab he side stepped and a right hook he dodged, he blocked the next hook from the left forearm then used the other as a hammer and brought it down on Minato's head. The blonde 'hugged' the offending arm and jumped up, kicking roger with both feet as he leaned back, bringing the pirate with him to the matted floor.
Minato shakily got up, while Roger coughed and wheezed (They may be bad asses but they've been beating the shit out of each other for about a minute and forty seconds). "Fuck!" The King gasped, as he slowly got on all fours.
"Damnit Roger! You're straining yourself too much!" The Doc berated his Capitan.
The two fighters ignored him as they continued the fight with Roger pushing against the matt and standing again. "That's twice now…that you knocked me down…it won't happen again." The pirates grin as still on his face.
"You're right…the next time you won't get back up!" with that he sprinted the short distance to his opponent. Roger brought up his knee and blocked the blonde's kick, he then smacked both hands on his ears, fucking up his equilibrium, and disorienting the Shinobi.
Minato's ears were ringing and the world spinning, not a good thing in the middle of a fight. Before the blonde could recover Roger moved in for the kill so to speak, he kicked the Shinobi in to the fence, then rushed up and repeatedly punched the disoriented man, this would not be enough however, since he wanted to show his opponent he wasn't a push over, since he had got knocked out in the last fight they had. He recovered during the beating and brought down his two arms halting the barrage, then head-butted the black-haired man, breaking his nose with an audible crunch.
The Pirate King recoiled from the pain now more focused on his broken nose. "Son of a bitch!" His yell came out nasally. Minato spit up some blood, he then ran by the pirate with a lariat-like move and knocked the man down.
Roger got back up and cracked his nose back in place. "Damn that hu-" The word never left his moth as Minato mule kicked him, causing the man to slide back. He stopped the follow up attack with his left hand and slammed his other elbow snapping his leg with a loud crack and a yell; he forced his now limp leg from Roger's grip, causing him extreme pain.
The two stared at each other for a moment before Roger made a lunge at the temporarily one legend Shinobi, said Shinobi hopped back and kicked the pirate in the nose…breaking it again…with his good leg.
"FUCK!" The duo yelled out simultaneously as the blonde crumpled to the matt and Roger fell back holding his gushing nose. The Kage level ninja rolled to Roger and slammed his forearm on top of his head, he shot his hand out in retaliation connecting with his opponents throat. Minato coughed and wheezed, he couldn't breathe, and his vision was darkening, he leaned his head back and with as much force as possible hit the King for a third time that fight in the nose.
They could barely move right about now, so Gaban forced himself to call the fight a draw for both the fighters benefit. Crocus immediately entered the ring berating the two idiots for fighting with such intensity.
(Four days later)
After the games ended the two leaders were basically put on camp-arrest and couldn't be without supervision, Minato felt like a kid, Roger…was used to this kind of thing by now. The pirates decided that they would leave the next morning since it was so late, and to say a better bye to their friends.
Kakashi and Shanks were more like brothers now after the Hachi Randamu Kaizoku Gemu, Rayleigh and Shikaku played shogi or chess against one another the rest of the time, Tsume would hang out with Gaban and dog (ironically) on the clown-like pirate for losing, the rest just hung out and chatted with their new friends.
"I've been meaning to ask." The bandaged blonde started. "How exactly did you destabilize my Rasengan and defend against it with your sword?" He looked at Roger for a moment. "I mean it should've gone through that sword like butter but it saved your life."
"Haki." Was all he said at first, then elaborated. "There are different types of it, what I used was the Armament Haki it basically makes any part of your body or weapons much stronger….enough to stop that ball or a blade, but I put some chakra through it to make it go boom!" The black-haired individual laughed. "Your face was priceless when I stopped it." Roger began laughing harder when he remembered another incident. "I wished I'd of got a picture of your faces when Gaban blew out one of them water dragons and soaked half the camp."
It was unnerving how much he knew about Raftel's powers, 'The damn marines said they wouldn't let this shit slip.' It didn't bother him that the pirates knew, and even used a Shinobi's skills at times, what did however, was the breach of contract by the world government's forces, letting a Shinobi's skills slip to outsiders was deeply frowned upon.
Roger sighed. "You should be impressed it took out my sword…now THAT was very impressive." There was a comfortable silence between the two.
"Hay Minato." The seriousness in Roger's voice got his attention immediately. "If this place ever gets in trouble an' you have ta get some people out I've got a list for you and the other villages." That caught the blonde man off guard.
"What the hell are you talking about?" this was literally the only time he saw the pirate without his grin.
"I know how they are." He was referring to the world government. "They might not be able to get here but if they feel ya raisin' a hand to um they will find a way to hit ya up." He had a far off look, like he was reminiscing about something. "If they do hit ya it won't be a part of this place, they'll stake the whole place."
Minato was stunned at how serious the man was but he took the pirates words to heart nonetheless and took the small blue booklet Roger handed to him. After a few moments the grin returned and he laughed at nothing. "This has been fun!"
Minato looked at all of the others hanging out and chatting without a care in the world. "The blonde could only agree with his friend. Yea it has."
(Next morning daybreak)
The blonde war hero slowly sat up as he awoke and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He could see the suns first rays of light as he moved to leave the tent, it was also quiet this morning so he figured the Roger Pirates left earlier than they originally said and he was the first to wake.
He walked outside and stretched, he was just about to wake the others when he saw the others behind his tent in his peripheral vision, Minato looked closer and saw them staring at something he couldn't quite make out.
When the Shinobi went to see what was up with the others, he felt something was off. 'This isn't like Tsume or the other's to be up first." Before he came to what they were looking at he spoke. "Good morning. What's going on?"
Too stunned to even look at their leader they all pointed at what they were staring at, causing the blonde man to finally look at said object, only for his jaw to unhinge and eyes turn to dinner plates. He tried to speak only for it to come out like a strangled chicken trying to cluck.
Now he had no choice but to agree to the Pirates request, for what was sprawled out in front of their eyes. 'It's gonna be an interesting report we give back to the old man." Were Minato's only thoughts after about ten minutes of staring at the pile in front of him.
(One Year later, Loguetown)
Two cloaked individuals were watching a handcuffed Roger being escorted to an execution platform previously set up by the marines. The first person was Minato Namikaze, the second only showed his face, which supported a frown; it was oddly a very sunny day.
"I am quite surprised to see someone like you here." The unknown individual stated.
The hooded blonde only shrugged. "I want to see what happens after he says his final words, and it doesn't really matter if anyone sees me." He uncaringly stated.
Some people in the crowd were talking as they watched the infamous man walk to his death, with a proud walk and a smile on his face. Then Roger began his ascent up the stairs to the execution platform, causing any and all talking to cease.
When he walked on the platform one of the executioners asked him if he had any final words, he looked over causing the man to tense, and he presented his cuffs. "Can you take these off?" He seriously asked, stunning every one of the people there. "It's chafing me." He logically reasoned.
He hit the bottom of the blade on the platform. "I cannot do that!" He authoritatively replied.
"Why would I run away now?" he paused for a few moments. "Hmm. That's a little saddening…" he walked forward and sat down Indian style. "Well, go ahead and finish it."
The pirate sat crisscrossed and patiently waited. Two Marines were facing him on either, holding an executioners blade in hand. They slid the blades against one another and flipped them in midair, sliding them again and holding the blades point down.
In the crowd, one man just couldn't take it anymore. "HAY! PIRATE KING!" Roger and everyone else looked at the man who spoke. "What did you do with your treasure? Its somewhere on the Grand Line, Isn't it? You have it, don't you? The greatest treasure in the world!?"
"Insolent! Hold your tongue!" the marine tried to get the man to stop speaking.
"Your one special treasure?" The marines command went on deaf ears, as the man took a great breath.
"ONE PIECE!" The kings grin grew and he began to chuckle, it soon turned to a booming laugh that seemed to, not only cover the plaza but the whole island.
"My treasure?" Even though he said it softly everyone herd it.
The marines tensed up and moved their blades towards the man. "ALL RIGHT! THAT's ENOUGH!"
He continued without pause. "If you want it, I'll let you have it." as he spoke the marines arched their executioner blades back. "Go look for it. I left it all in that place."
"ÉXECUTE!" the marine tried to drown out what he said with his yell, as they pierced his chest with their blades. Ending Roger D. Gol's life.
It was very quiet as each person had wide eyes and gaping maws, then almost every one there cheered, as if they had won the lottery, surprising and maybe even horrifying the present marines.
The two executioners looked at the pirate, even in death he held that ever present grin, but it seemed mocking like he knew what he just did changed the world.
As the large crowd of people moved towards the docks to set sail a large storm came in, it started to downpour almost immediately. "It seems even the heavens weep for such a great man." This caused Minato to look up to the clouds above.
"I suppose that's possible." He closed his eyes for a silent pray, when he opened them, the man next to him was gone. "I best do the same." He said to himself, and disappeared in a yellow flash, masked by the lightning overhead.
Nobody noticed, or cared about the tall man wearing a white hood and black mask walk by, the only visible thing was his emerald green eyes. 'I wonder how much the marines will pay me for this information.' This one thought, and his next action would alter the course of history.
(Three years later)
Far north, in Raftel, a large group of Marines and cloaked individuals were waiting for their commander to give them their orders.
A snails eyes opened "purupurupuru, purupurupuru, purupurupuru purupurupu-"
"Yo!" a man with silver hair picked up the receiver on the device which turned out to be a Den Den Mushi.
"Execute order thirty-four." The voice emotionlessly responded, then hung up then there was a click, bringing a grin to the man's face.
"BEING THE CHAOS BITCHES!" he roared causing a yell of 'FOR JUSTICE!' to ring out and the massive group split up in ten groups, and a massive door opened op from the ground, each group grabbed a chain from the hidden location and pulled.
(In Konaha)
Minato, now the Hokage of the village hidden in the leafs for the past three years, sighed a he thought about the past five years. Hostilities were rising and it wasn't between hidden villages, it was rising from another group, the world government.
All of Minato's reports lead to the fact the world government would attack the Elemental Nations, the blonde knew no reason why, how, or even when and that was very problematic. He made a shadow clone and had it Hiraishin to his house and see how his family was doing, after about ten minutes the memories from the clone came back to him and it brought a smile to his face.
His three year old daughter was dancing around the living room chanting, I'm gonna have a Otouto, Otouto, Otouto, over and over again with a big smile. His pregnant wife was laughing at her daughters antics and saying not long now.
His office door was slammed open and a bloodied jounin stumbled to the desk. "T-thank Kami i-I made it." he said before he collapsed.
The Kage moved to the heavily wounded-nins side and gave him some support. "GET A MEDIC!" he yelled out to whoever herd, the man had a stump where his left arm used to be, that he was slowing the blood with his headband.
"N-no time." He groaned out. "T-the *cough* the marines are h-here." That caused Minato's eyes to widen
"What! How can they be here?" The jounin, who he now recognized as part of a six man team, he sent out to see what happened at a nearby country called wave.
"I-I don't know they have o-other Shi*cough*Shinobi with them, a-and whipped out *cough, cough* our whole team i-I'm the only one left." Each cough had him coughing up blood, the medics came in then and were about to take him to the hospital.
"W-Wait!" He pleaded; the med-nin nodded but still did what he could so the injured man wouldn't die.
"W-Wave has *cough* has fallen, i-it's completely g-gone *cough*" the jounin grabbed Minato's hand. "Y-you have to evacuate before, before its t-too la*cough*late! Their c-coming from the w-west" he let the hand go and allowed the medic Shinobi to take him away.
"ANBU!" His four most trusted ANBU showed up kneeling in front of their Kage. "Dog, Eagle, go to the west and gather as much info on the invaders as you can, Gopher, get the designated Shinobi and execute evacuation order three. There was a moment of hesitation before he vanished with a nod. "Coyote, gather the sannin…they should be around the normal places. Make sure they know the situation." With that the last ANBU left the Hokage to complete his mission.
He looked out the window and sighed. 'I hoped the others heeded my advice.' He mused
Before he could think any longer a deafening boom was herd, he looked up to see a massive cannon ball hidden towards Konaha's hospital. Just as it was about to connect, it was halted and blown back from where it came from. The blonde could see a blonde woman with pigtails, with her arm outstretched.
The man who took out an entire battle group from Iwa gulped. 'I am sooo glad I haven't pissed her off yet.' The woman who blasted the cannon ball back was Tsunade Senju, that was just the beginning though. A series of bangs were herd, followed by the sky darkening. The blondes eyes widened and he flashed outside his office. "This is gonna be close." He mumbled to himself as he made a Rasengan in both hands and jumped up to the cannons in the sky.
All over the country similar occurrences were happening in the great five nations, time would only tell how many survived this invasion from the world government.
