Hey everyone time for another chapter.

Now, to answer the review of MusicOfMadness. To be honest I have not ever heard or read that story until you pointed it out. Even so I have only read like the first chapter and I can say they do have some similarities, they are different.

First, my guy can not use jutsu, he can only concentrate his chakra to walk on wall, water, and enhance his strength. Second, it is not a full Naruto/One Piece crossover. I can see how that might have been determined by the appearance of Kisame, but he was a Leak other characters from other shows and such will make appearances. I plan on only having three more Naruto characters appear as Leaks.

Also, I want to say I am not offended for you pointing that story out. I actually want to thank you, now I can make sure that they don't look similar.

With that out of the way let's get this started.

Chapter 6: Celebrating the End

I rubbed my sore shoulder, I think it was dislocated.

I made my way over to Sanji and Zoro, who were getting ready to face off against Arlong.

"You ok?" Sanji asked, taking a drag off his cigarette.

"Considering that the only other alternative was me being dead, then yeah I'm fine." I replied sarcasticly.

"Kuroobi…Hatchi…Brother…" Arlong stated coldly, looking around at the battlefield.

"So much for fishmen being the higher species." I said colly.

"You bastards…killing so many of my brethren….one after another…Don't you think you've gotten a little cocky?" Arlong shouted.

"Oi…when you said Luffy was Half okay…what did you mean?" Zoro asked as he got to his feet.

"Well, he's not gonna die." Sanji replied. "But if you wanna free him, I gotta go underwater again for a bit…and it looks like this guy isn't going to let me…"

"Don't worry about fish-face." I said. "Me and Zoro can handle him."

"You humans…I will show you…the difference between our species…is just a handful of water…" Arlong spat, lifting his hand up. It was then in a flash he appeared in front of me, and made a throwing motion…and I saw that water come in slow motion towards my chest.

I thought Kisame's Shākujetto was bad, but it was nothing compared to this. It felt as if a train had ran into my chest. I flew back coughing up blood.

I looked up back at Arlong, to see one of Sanji's kicks being deflected by Arlong and him recieve the same treatment as me.

"You should just surrender…" Arlong proposed, ruthlessness tempering his voice. "Your lives aren't important anyway."

"ARLONG!"

All heads now turned to the crowd of villagers, where in front of them stood Nami, Luffy's hat sitting upon her head and her staff firmly in her hands. Arlong merely chuckled as he turned towards her.

"Yo Nami…what brings you here? I was just finishing with our guests here…" He said, bearing his rows of fangs with a dark smile.

"I'm here….to kill you." Nami returned coldly, lifting her head to meet his gaze.

"Kill me…?" Arlong questioned, the grin on his face widening, "Zhahahahaha! You still don't get it do you?...How many times have you pathetic sub-species tried to kill me Poison…assassination…assault…Has any of it ever worked?...You fools can never kill me…Now then…Nami…you will remain as my cartographer…normally I'd just go wild and kill everyone here except you…but being the higher creature I am…if you choose to return to the Arlong Pirates, I will spare the villagers….but these fools here…" He continued, lifting his foot and booting Sanji in the ribs, "Will be executed."

It was at this Nami begun shaking, pulling her true captain's hat down over her eyes. Mumbling to herself, she quickly turned on her heels towards the crowd, lifting her staff. "Everyone! Will you die with me?" She shouted, and soon the air was filled with cheers and yells of approval from the townsfolk.

I began picking myself off the ground. "Hehehe. Looks like you've lost, Arlong." I stated.

As if on cue, a spout of water rose up from the wall across the pool, spraying fluid everywhere. A signal that our favorite rubberman had been resuscitated.

"Looks like he's ready for Round Two…" Sanji chimed in nonchalantly as he rose up, "All that's left is to get that block off his legs.

"You go get the blocks off." I told Sanji. "We can hold him off."

"Got it!" Sanji shouted as he jumped into the water.

"So, who goes first?" I asked.

Zoro just gave a shrug of indifference.

Arlong didn't seem to pay us any attention, as he was looking to where the water fountain had sprung up.

"I don't remember a fountain being there…Could it be that rub-"

"Back Breaker!"

I cut him off with one of my attacks, but of course due to me being weakened and him being a lot stronger then me he just stumbled forward.

Arlong quickly turned around to give me a hate filled stare.

"You know for being a greater species. You guys are pretty stupid if you can't even remember not to let your guard down." I told him.

"Tamago Boshi!"

All of the sudden an egg came flying at Arlong, who lifted a finger to stop it.

"Don't worry, Cortez! I got your back!"

"Thanks...Usopp, that egg just saved my life..." I replied in a sarcastic voice, a sweatdrop forming on the back of my head.

Usopp began bragging about his fight, but I didn't care as I focused on Arlong.

"Demolishing Kick!"

Unfortanetly, my kick didn't do much as Arlong caught me mid-swing, and slammed me into the ground.

Luckily, that allowed Zoro to charge forward, swords drawn.

"Fool…maybe if you weren't so injured…you could've scratched it…" Arlong boasted as he caught both of Zoro's swords with his saw nose. He then used me as a club and bashed me against the swordsmen. Zoro skidded along the ground while Arlong still clutched me by the ankle.

At this time Hatchi had now picked himself off the ground and had pursued Sanji underwater.

Arlong stood there holding me upside down, mocking both me and Zoro.

Zoro began standing once agian to attack Arlong, but Arlong threw me at him sending both of us to the ground once agian.

"I will say this about your species." Arlong said as he approached us. "You never know when to quit, even when facing some one superior."

"Screw you, Snaggel-tooth." I spat out, along with some blood.

Arlong didn't seem to like the comment as he grabbed both of us by the neck and lifted us off the ground.

"I'm going to enjoy slowly crushing the life out of you." Arlong sneered.

He let go of us when an ear piercing scream came.

"I'M BAAACK!" Luffy shouted as he spun in the air.

"About time." Zoro coughed out.

All of the sudden I felt something grab my leg. "Zoro! Cortez! Trade!" Luffy shouted as he flung me and Zoro into the air.

"Luffy! You, dumbass, rubber bastard!" I shouted until I landed in, what I think was water, felt like rock when I hit, but the only thing I remember next was blackness.

The next thing I recall is some one yelling my name.

"Cortez! Cortez! Come on, wake up!"

*Bonk*

"YEOW!"

I quickly came out of the land of blackness to see some familiar faces.

"Good to see your still with us." Nojiko replied with a smirk.

"We should get you to the doctor." Genzo added.

"Don't worry. I heal pretty fast." I replied.

I tried to stand, but ended up stumblin forward. Luckily, Genzo and Sanji caught me.

"Thanks." I told them.

As we got closer to Arlong Park the sound of destruction entered my ears.

'Hehe Looks like the end is finally here.'

'You know you are one lucky bastard.' Morgan decided to interupt my happy moment.

'Do you seriously ever come out to tell me anything good?'

'Hey, I take offense to that!'

'So, you came to tell me something good?'

'Not really. Just that if it wasn't for me you probably would be dead from all those internal injuries you got.'

'Thanks for the healing and your a jackass.'

'Welcome!'

The roof of Arlong Park now burst open, as a long sandaled leg rose into the sky above it.

"Guess its over…" I said to no one in particular as the two hauling me reached the crowd.

I got out of there grip so I could get closer to see more of the finally.

"ONNNNNNO!" The foot came crashing down, causing Arlong Park to break out in cracks, soon causing it to implode upon itself, forming a massive heap of rubble. The impact created a massive cloud of dust, blanketing the area in a dense haze.

LUFFY-ANIKI!" Johnny and Yosaku cried in unison, tears running down their faces.

The air soon became still…the sun boring through the clouds, and shining bright upon the ruins, which soon rumbled at the top as a figure emerged from it. Luffy stood there, panting, hunched over and shifting his attention to Nami.

"NAMI! YOU ARE MY NAKAMA!"The yell pierced through eh silence, echoing through the area.

I could only hear Nami squealing a low yes, tears forming around her face. The townspeople soon began cheering and hollering, rushing forward to gather up their hero and toss him in the air, until they accidentally dropped him upon the ground.

I gave out a small laugh at that. I beagn stretching out, to see how well Morga's healing really was. I'll tell you he does a pretty good job, beside the soreness and mild pain I was in pretty decent health, but no telling what was wrong on the inside.

"That's enough!" A high-pitched voice sounded, the same mousey captain from the grove stood behind us, his crew of Marine flunkies backing him up. "This must be my lucky day! I never thought that Arlong would've been defeated by some pirate brats…but thanks to you, Arlong's bounty, as well as his riches, will be mine."

The crowd of people parted like the Red Sea at his arrival, and that was all I needed. I began my path towards the little bastard. I noticed that he had some bandages on his head, probably from our earlier encounter.

"Seems you didn't learn your lesson last time." I said as I continued approaching him.

When he and most of his marine buddies noticed me they froze up.

"Y...YOU!" Nezumi shouted, in fear or anger I'm not to sure.

"So you do remeber me. I'm touched." I replied.

All of the sudden he pulled out a pistol and pointed at me, causing a lot of the crow to gasp and move further back.

"Don't come any closer! Or I'll shoot!" he shouted.

"Now, let's be reasonable here." I said continueing my slow approach. "You did nothing to stop Arlong in the past and even helped him. So now you think you can come in and play the hero? You are sorely mistaken."

Once I was in arms reach he began shaking real bad, the gun wasn't even focused on me half the time.

"Now, put the gun down, take your men, and leave. Before things get ugly." I told him.

He didn't respond or move, so I decided to do something about that. I grabbed the gun to remove it, but...

*BANG*

I heard the gasp of everyone around me, hell even the marines looked suprised.

I looked behind me to see who might have been hit, but I didn't see anyone down. It was at that point I felt something warm on my hand. I looked down at it to see a small hole in the center of my hand and blood poering from it.

I lifted my hand to look at it, the shock still on everyone including mines face.

"You shot my hand." was the only thing I could think to say.

'Hold on Cortez! I'll get to work on healing that before the damage get's to severe!' I heard Morgan shout at me in a panic, he must have been just as suprised as me.

I never did take my eyes off my hand and when it began smoking, as the wound began to heal up. Everyone was gasping in shock yet agian.

Once the hole was fully healed I flexed my hand a bit to make sure it was all ok.

After I decided it was I went back to facing Nezumi and he looked more scared then he was before.

"Wh...wh...what are you?" he asked in almost a whisper.

I didn't answer.

"Skull-Buster!"

I just punched him in the face as hard as I could, sending him flying back.

"I'll go with a pirate." I replied. I turned to face the marines that were still shacking from that earlier display. "Do I have to beat all of you into bloody pulps or are you all going to leave?"

They answered by grabbing their captian and running as fast as they could back to their ship.

I turned to look back at the crowd, who were all staring at me.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"PAAARRRTTTYYYY!" These shouts were heard from all around Cocoyashi as music blared and people danced in the streets, stopping only to drink and feast from the hundreds of tables set outside.

I was busy enjoying myself on all the food. Not only that but, the people around me kept asking me questions about how I was able to heal my hand like that. I of course, told them it was no devil fruit, I wasn't a doctor, and that I can't really explain it.

It was some of the most fun I ever had. I then noticed Nojiko walking towards me smiling, but I could tell she was also serious.

"Hey! Nojiko!" I shouted, waving at her. I might have had a few drinks.

"Hey Cortez." she replied in a calmer voice. "I just wanted to thank you for trying to help me."

"No problem!" I told her taking a drink from a mug.

"But, why did you do all this?" she asked.

I put down my mug and looked at her confused. "Huh?"

"Why did you fight up agianst Arlong, protect Nami's money, and even attack a marine captian..twice?!" she re-asked.

I gave her a smirk. "I did it for two reasons." I told her. Judging by her face she wanted me continue. "The first is because it was the right thing to do."

"And the second?" she asked.

"Heheh, so Ic ould pay back that debt I owe your for those supplies." I answered.

She looked at me for a second to see if I was serious, but seeing me laugh my ass off she realized I wasn't.

"All in all I still want to thank you, anyway I can." she said the last part in a seductive voice.

I did a spit take at that. I turned to face her my eyes wide and a light blush on my face.

She soon fell on her ass laughing. "I can't believe you fell for that!" she shouted.

It took me a second to realize what just happened. "Not funny." I replied dryly.

"Oh, come on. It's still a party so enjoy yourself." she said as she got off and made her way back to where ever she came from.

I decided to go look around. I saw Zoro drinking to his hearts content, Usopp bragging about his amazing battle, Sanji flirting with the many women of the island and failing. Last but not least Luffy with a mouth and hand full of meat.

Once Luffy daw me he ran stright towards me.

"Oi! Corfez! Wat goin my crew?" he asked his mouth still stuffed.

In my state and his full mouth I had no idea what he asked. "Huh?"

Luffy swallowed all the meat in his mouth and let out a content sigh. "Want to join my crew?" he asked agian.

"Sure!" was my replied.

"Yosh! A new nakama! Everyone party!" he shouted in joy.

"We alreay are partying!" Zoro shouted at him, but Luffy didn't care as he began stuffing his face with more meat.

The night went great I ate, drank, danced, hell I even amazed a bunch of people by walking up the sides of buildings.

Luffy and Usopp both kept shouting how awesome it was.

Once, the party began dying down everyone began turning in.

Tomorrow I start my first day as a Straw Hat Pirate.

Thanks you all for reading! Now, don't forget to review!
