Will Power Unleashed
After kicking Usopp, Kuro turned to face Luffy.
"So, not only you ate a devil fruit, but you can use Haki?" Kuro asked.
"Yup!" Luffy responded, "And I can use Haki in other ways as well."
"Jango!" Kuro yelled.
"Yes?" Jango asked.
"I will take care of this kid! You take care of Lady Kaya... make her write the will and then kill her!" Kuro ordered, "Also kill these three kids while at it."
"Got it!" Jango agreed.
"I won't let you get through me!" Zoro told Jango.
"Buchi!" Jango called.
Buchi yelled as he was ready to attack.
Buchi jumped above Zoro and got ready for a drop kick
"Not this again!" Zoro complained.
Zoro dodge the attack.
Buchi drop kicked the ground and destroyed it.
Even the side of the cliff broke from the impact.
...
"Idiot ... he can't control his own strength," Kuro said.
...
Buchi came at Zoro again.
Zoro manage to block with Katana, but was still force into the wall of the cliff.
"Fighting this guy should put me in the right situation. Now I need to summon my Haki," Zoro thought.
"Zoro! Don't think about tapping into Haki! Just do it!" Luffy yelled.
"What the heck does that mean?" Zoro yelled back.
Buchi kept forcing Zoro back to where Zoro placed his foot on Buchi's face.
"Get outta my way!" Zoro yelled as he kicked Buchi out of his way.
...
Jango headed toward Kaya
Usopp struggled to get up, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get to Kaya in time.
"Usopp Pirate!" Usopp yelled, "Protect Kaya!"
Pepper Onion and Carrot was shocked as they expected Usopp to tell them to run.
"Usopp..." Kaya responded.
"I need you to take Kaya away from here," Usopp ordered, "I'll follow by as soon as I'm able to!"
"Yes captain!" the three boys yelled
They took Kaya's hands as the four of them ran off.
"Idiots! You can't escape!" Jango told them as he chased after them.
"I need to stop him," Usopp thought, "I need to get up!"
Suddenly, Usopp felt a burst of power within him that gave him new strength.
Usopp got up and started running after them.
"I need to protect them!" Usopp thought as he ran after them.
...
"Usopp summoned his Haki," Luffy said.
"Seriously?" Zoro complained.
"I told you, don't think about it, just let your will power naturally build," Luffy told Zoro.
"You could've said that last part before!" Zoro yelled.
"You two are becoming a true nuisance," Kuro told Luffy and Zoro.
...
Pepper Onion Carrot and Kaya were going as fast as they can.
"Is the hypnotist still after us?" Pepper asked.
"I don't see him," Onion replied.
"He must be dreaming if he thinks he can catch us in this forest," Carrot said.
"Don't worry Ms. Kaya, we'll protect you," Onion told Kaya.
"That's right! In the name of the Usopp Pirates, we will protect you," Pepper agreed.
"Thank you," Kaya thanked them
Suddenly a blade-disc came out of nowhere and cut down some trees.
The four of them stopped in shock.
"Where are you?!" Jsngo yelled, "Don't think you can get away!"
"He's coming!" Onion cried.
"What? I though he was just a normal hypnotist!" Pepper responded.
"If that's the case, I'll just have to clear the whole forest," Jango said.
...
Usopp was searching around for them.
"Where are they?!" Usopp asked himself.
Usopp felt as if he could sense something moving.
Suddenly he heard some trees falling.
"Over there!" Usopp said as he ran toward the direction of the sounds.
...
The sounds of the trees falling could be heard from the slope.
"Well, that's probably just Jango losing his temper. You can see for yourself, but you will probably be too late," Kuro told Luffy and Zoro.
"We're good from where we're at," Luffy said.
"We'll see about that!" Kuro responded.
Buchi attacked Zoro.
"I'm not going to let myself loose," Zoro thought.
Zoro's felt power build up in him as he took down Buchi, just as Buchi was right at him.
"Well, I think I just found the key to my Haki," Zoro said.
"It doesn't matter if that looser catches up with Jango, Jango can take him down," Clahador said.
Buchi attacked Zoro, but Zoro dodge him.
Buchi tried more attacks but Zoro blocked him with two Katanas.
"I won't loose!" Zoro yelled.
Haki burst through Zoro as he moved in and actually cut through Buchi with great force that Buchi fell unconscious immedietly.
"Hey Luffy, I"m going to go find Usopp," Zoro said.
"Okay," Luffy responded.
"You're not going anywhere," Clahador told Luffy.
"Oh no you don't!" Luffy yelled as he send a punch.
Kuro dodged the punch.
"Go Zoro!" Luffy told him.
"Right!" Zoro responded.
Luffy send another punch at Kuro.
Kuro disappeared before the punch could land.
Kuro appeared behind Luffy and was about to attack.
Luffy jump on his hands and clapped his feet together.
"Gum-Gum Spear!" Luffy yelled.
Luffy send a stretching kick but Clahador dodge again.
Luffy got back on his feet as Kuro appeared beside him.
"You are quite good with Haki," Kuro said.
"Actually, I'm hardly using that much," Luffy said, "If I was, you would know it."
"I see," Kuro responded.
"Yep," Luffy responded
"Before we continue this fight, I want to ask you one question ... you're a stranger here. So why are you getting so involved with this village?" Kuro asked.
"That's easy. I have a friend in this village that I don't want to see dead!" Luffy replied.
"What a simple reason ... are you really okay with it?" Kuro asked, "After all, it'll be your reason for dying!"
"You wouldn't understand," Luffy responded, "Besides, I'm not going to die anyways."
...
Zoro was lost in the forest ... really lost...
"I thought I heard the trees fall from somewhere this far," Zoro said, "Shouldn't I be seeing trees chopped down?"
Zoro look around and listen.
He look to the right.
"This way looks right," Zoro said as he ran that direction.
Sadly, Zoro ended up taking a long way back to the slope.
...
Kaya stopped to catch her breath.
"Ms. Kaya!" the boys yelled.
"I'm sorry ... you boys keep going ahead," Kaya apologized.
"What are you saying? We're here to protect you!" Carrot yelled.
The thing was that Kaya was pale and her cheeks were turning red.
"Oh no she looks sick!" Carot yelled, "We must take her to the doctor!"
"Idiot! We're running for our lives!" Pepper responded.
"But it's too dangerous to let her go on," Onion stated.
"There you are!" someone yelled.
They look to see that Jango found them.
...
Kuro was set to attack Luffy.
"Die!" Kuro yelled as he came at Luffy.
"No way!" Luffy yelled.
Luffy stretched his arms and grabbed Kuro's arms.
Luffy jump in the air to attack.
However Kuro spin his arms around, causing Luffy to hit the ground side first.
Luffy got up and set himself for a kick.
"Gum-Gum Leg Sweep!" Luffy yelled sweeping his leg.
Luffy's leg stretch as it came at Kuro.
Kuro dodge it.
"Gum-Gum Pistol!" Luffy yelled sending a punch.
His punch stretched at Kuro.
However Kuro just jumped on Luffy's arm.
"This is boring," Kuro said as he ran at Luffy.
"Haki ..." Luffy said building Haki.
"Not fast enough!" Kuro said as he kicked Luffy in the face.
Haki covered Luffy's face in a form of armor.
The Haki protected Luffy from the kick.
"What?" Kuro responded.
"Haki Force!" Luffy yelled
Luffy summoned a force of Haki that force Kuro to retreat.
The crew cheered for Kuro.
"They still don't understand," Kuro said.
"Huh?" Luffy responded.
"The real purpose of this plan ... is to eliminate the name 'Captain Kuro' forever. I'm sick and tired of making plans for these idiots," Kuro said.
"What are you talking about?" Luffy asked.
"My name became more and more notorious. The government's marines and the professional bounty hunters kept coming after me. That really started to annoy me ..." Kuro explained, "That's why on that day, three years ago, I decided to kill myself..."
...Flashback...
3 years ago on the Black Cat Pirate Ship, Kuro made his plan.
"Jango ... I want to leave the ship ..." Kuro told Jango.
"What are you talking about?" Jango asked, "This is your ship, and your crew!"
"You can be the next captain," Kuro told him, "I don't think I'm suited for a pirate's life. I'm sick of this chaotic lifesyle."
"Captain Kuro! A marine ship is spotted to the north!" a pirate yelled.
There were sounds of cannons firing from outside.
"See! They've come again!" Kuro said.
"We don't have a choice! We're doing things that get us hunted. Because of that, you've become notorious," Jago explained.
"Yes... it's the name that draws them here. That's why I decided not to be captain Kuro anymore!" Kuro responded.
"Stop kidding yourself! You'll be hunted down by the government all your life until you're dead," Jango stated.
"Then I will die and make myself disappear from the face of the Earth," Kuro responded.
...
Kuro snuck onto the Marine ship and killed all but one Marine.
Then he had Jango hypnotized a man that look close enough to Kuro, into thinking he was Kuro.
Then Jango hypnotized the last Marine into thinking he caught the real Kuro.
The Marine sailed off with the fake Kuro to be executed while the real Kuro was able to get away.
...End of Flashback...
"What happened that day has been essential for today's plan to be successful. My plan can only be complete when I have obtained wealth and peace," Kuro told Luffy and the crew, "Do you understand now kid? I've spent three years doing this. My plan cannot fail! I cannot let you disrupt my plans!"
Kuro went to strike with his blade clows.
Luffy decided to defend himself by picking up a rock.
Luffy used the boulder as a shield.
One of Kuro's claw gloves dug into the rock.
"So you have some strength," Kuro said.
"That's right! I been training for years to become a pirate!" Luffy explained.
Luffy used the rock to broke off all the blades on one glove.
"Unlike you, I planned to continue being a pirate until the day I die," Luffy said, "Because I'm going to be King of the Pirates, and the greatest Haki user ever."
Luffy use the boulder to hit Kuro.
Luffy placed the boulder on the ground.
Kuro got up, bleeding from his injuries.
The Black Cat Pirates continued cheering for Kuro.
"Shut up! Don't you get it! After this, all of you will be killed, including Jango!" Kuro told them.
...
Jango hypnotized Carrot Pepper and Onion, and was trying to hypnotize Kaya.
However, Kaya kept her eyes closed.
"Open your eyes!" Jango demanded.
"No," Kaya replied, "I won't let you hypnotize me."
"Then I'll have to open your eyes by force!" Jango said as he was about to open Kaya's eyes by force.
Suddenly a led ball came out of no where and hit Jango.
Kaya turned to see it was Usopp.
"Usopp!" Kaya yelled.
"Don't worry Kaya, I won't let anything happen to you," Usopp said.
...
Once again, Zoro was lost.
"This is ridiculous, how am I suppose to find my way out of here!" Zoro complained.
Zoro ran a direction, which was of course, was the wrong way.
It's a wonder how he manage to get from one slope to the other.
...
The Black Cat Pirates were confuse by Kuro's words.
"What are you talking about?" One asked.
"The plan isn't something to worry about, because once you're dead, I can place the blame on you," Kuro told them, "I never intednded to let any of you leave the village alive. It would be to my disadvantage to let anyone who knows about my plans alive."
"You mean, you plan to kill us from the very beginning?" one pirate yelled.
"Yes, ever since three years ago, when I was still Captain Kuro ... all this was part of my plan," Kuro explained.
"You guys are dumb. What a bunch of losers," Luffy stated.
"Hmph! Losers? A pirate crew is just a random gathering of outcasted outlaws. What could these fools do without my plan? You should continue to quietly follow my plans!" Kuro said, "In a pirate crew, the crew members are just pawns for the captain to use as he wishes. That means, your life and death are all in my hands. Even if there's a wall right ahead, you still have to follow my orders and charge at it, and sacrifice themselves for my plan! That's the way of the pirate! A wandering little runt like you would never understand!"
"It doesn't matter, because you can't defeat me, and you can't defeat Usopp," Luffy stated.
"Are you saying that I'm inferior to that low life?" Kuro asked.
"That's right," Luffy responded.
"Ha ha ha ha ... You're so stupid!" Kuro laugh, "Don't get cocky because you've broken my cat claws! In what way am I inferior to him?"
Kuro disappeared at top speed.
"The way you think," Luffy responded with a smile
Luffy turned around and punched Kuro, who was just right behind him.
"You don't know what a true pirate is supposed to be!" Luffy explained as Kuro hit the side of a cliff.
Kuro got back up from the attack
"You've insulted me! You want to know what a true pirate is suppose to be? Then let me show you the terror of a real pirate!" Kuro told Luffy.
Kuro took an odd stance.
The Black Cat Crew panicked at the site.
"What are they talking about?" Luffy asked, "He's just swaying there..."
Clahador suddenly moved so fast that he seem to disappeared.
...
Nami was stealing from what was the left of the Black Cat Pirate Ship.
"How disappointing. I thought there would be a lot of treasure," Nami said.
She came out from inside the ship and didn't hear anything going on.
"Hmmm ... is the battle over already?" Nami asked looking at the battle field, "Why is everyone standing still ... is it over?"
...
Suddenly, without a single noise, the crew were cut up and collapsed.
"Okay, no more kidding around!" Luffy said.
'Luffy summoned a force of Haki around him.
...
Nami was watching in shock.
"Wh...what's going on? Those people are getting massacred out of nowhere!" Nami thought, "Why isn't Luffy doing anything?"
...
Luffy was watching as the Black Cat Pirate's numbers decreased.
It only made him concentrate harder on finding Kuro.
"I'm going to take him down, no matter what!" Luffy thought.
He sense something coming from his right.
"Sneak attack from the right," Luffy thought.
Luffy swifly side setepp and grabbed Kuro's clothings.
Luffy toss Kuro in the air and slam him down with a force of Haki.
Kuro cough up blood from the force.
"Got you," Luffy responded.
"Darn it! You've should've just quietly let me chop you into piece..." Kuro complained.
"You were killing your own crewmembers, I wasn't going to let you continue," Luffy responded.
"Oh please, cause of you my crew are only half dead and in pain," Kuro responded.
"I'll never be a pirate like you," Luffy responded.
"Oh please, I'll kill you before you even become a pirate!" Kuro responded.
However Luffy jumped on Kuro and wrap his legs around Kuro's body while he use his arms around Kuro's arms, immobilizing him.
"Now that I got you, you can't get me," Luffy responded.
...
Usopp was aiming his sling shot right at Jango.
"Oh please! Like a fool like you could stop me," Jango said.
"I dare you to try!" Usopp responded.
"I'll kill you before you hit me again!" Jango told Usopp.
"Usopp! Don't!" Kaya yelled.
"I'm afraid, but my friends are in danger right now!" Usopp said, "I won't run away!"
Suddenly, Pepper Carrot and Onion shot up, fully away and hit Jango with their 'weapons' where he was most vulnerable.
Usopp use the time to shoot the led ball with his slingshot.
Jango was knock out cold.
...
Zoro arrived at the slope where Luffy was still fighting Clahador.
"How did I get back here?" Zoro asked himself.
Zoro noticed that Luffy was holding Kuro down.
"Looks like Luffy has this battle won," Zoro said, "I might as well watch."
...
"Let me go!" Kuro demanded.
"No way! Your three year plan will fail!" Luffy said.
"What did you say?" Kuro asked.
The Black Cat Pirates realized that if Luffy finish off the battle in victorious, they would live.
Cause of it, they started cheering for Luffy.
Kuro tried to brok out of Luffy's grip.
"I won't need Haki for this," Luffy said.
Luffy threw his head back as his neck stretched several yards.
"Gum Gum Headbutt!" Luffy yelled
Luffy neck retracted and hit Kuro's head with great force.
Luffy let go of Kuro as Kuro hit the ground unconscious.
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy. Remember my name, because I'll be the greatest Haki user ever and the next King of the Pirates!" Luffy yelled.
