Chapter 99
A cool wind swept the battlefield. Sakura cried over Kasai. Hinata rushed to her side.
"Sakura... it's okay, you and the doctor did what you could." Hinata said softly, tears in her eyes.
Boa looked over with fright at Kasai.
"I knew this was a mistake... we should have never declared war with DEATH!" Boa yelled.
A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER
Kraken slowly looked over at Kasai. Sakura cried on his chest as blood came from his mouth. A tear falling from Kasai's face. Sakura shot her head up.
"KASAI DIDN'T MAKE IT!" Sakura yelled.
Everything stopped. Kraken stared with no emotion. Luffy and Naruto couldn't believe it. Fujitora slammed his sword into the ground and held back tears.
Kraken looked down to the ground. Tears began to fall.
"K-Kasai..." Kraken said softly. Kraken looked back up at Kasai, then grabbed a knife from his back pocket.
"I-I can't..." Kraken said, raising the knife.
"Kraken." A voice said in Kraken's head.
Kraken's eyes shot up.
"This is what you've spent 12 years training for? To commit suicide in a fight!? TE HA HA HA!" Kasai yelled.
"K-Kasai!..." Kraken said out loud.
"Neat huh!? You said you went to the Leaf Village right? There are Yamanaka's there? Would you believe I ran into one in that dungeon!? I always told the shinobi or ninja world civilians there how I wanted to free them one day. The Yamanaka woman taught me how to communicate telepathically! It took every last bit of those 12 years to master cause I'm not a Yamanaka but look at me now!" Kasai said inside Kraken's mind.
"I-I don't understand... Kasai... I... I let you die!" Kraken said out loud, tears falling.
"Oi, Oi, Oi! None of that! Cyclone tried to kill you while you dealt with your PTSD, Kraken. We're Marines! It's our job to protect each other! I already spoke to Nagashima like this by the way... he's been taking people into his portals while Cyclone is preoccupied, giving you guys room to go all out!" Kasai yelled.
Kraken dried his tears.
"Thank you, Kasai..." Kraken said with a smile.
"Hey don't start getting all giddy on me! You've still gotta beat this ancient bastard!" TE HA HA HA!" Kasai laughed.
It was quiet for a moment.
"They need you, Kraken. You give them hope." Kasai said softly.
Kraken looked at the shinobi.
"When you couldn't fight, they gladly took on the challenge until you got better! Now it's time for you to help them! This sad pathetic Kraken isn't the Kraken I know! Show them the real Kraken! I still remember what they used to call you... Monkey D Kraken... The Monster of the Navy!" Kasai yelled.
Instantly Kraken's eyes shot open and he dashed for Cyclone! Kraken grit his teeth as he loaded up a heavy punch!
"I'll see you around my old friend, it's in your hands now! Bring the four blues and Shinobi world together for me!" Kasai said with a tear running down his face and smiling before he passed away.
"RRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Kraken yelled.
Cyclone turned to see Kraken was charging straight for him, faster than he could react to!
Kraken's shades fell off and he looked up with fire in his eyes.
"KRAKEN!?" Cyclone yelled.
"I will, Kasai. I will inherit your will!" Kraken yelled to himself.
"RRRRRAAHHHHHHHHH!" Kraken yelled, shaking the island!
Cyclone conjured his nen clone and smirked.
"Bring it on!" Cyclone yelled.
Japanese kanji flashed in the air.
"AVENGE FIST!" Kraken yelled, slamming his fist into the clone Cyclone's body. The clone held up for a moment before it started to crack!
"NO! THERE IS NO WAY!" Cyclone said, completely shocked.
CRASSHHHHHH!
PRESENT MOMENT
Kraken stared down at Cyclone with killing intent. Cyclone looked back up at him.
"Who's staring down at who now?" Kraken asked.
Cyclone stared back up with anger.
"Wow Kraken! I was starting to think you were all talk!" Naruto cheered.
"I HAVE PSTD I CAN'T HELP IT!" Kraken yelled with an angry face, forming his arm into a tentacle.
Naruto held his hands up as sweat dropped down.
"That ability you've got looks just like Octo-pops from the Cloud Village!" Naruto smiled.
Kraken smiled as well.
"I'll have to meet him one day!" Kraken said.
Luffy, drained from using gear 5, walked over to Kraken.
"OOOOOOO! Teach me to punch like that Kraken!" Luffy said.
"Uhhhh I think that'll take some time!" Kraken said, rubbing his head.
Cyclone stood up slowly behind them. The entire front of Cyclone's body was shadowed out, all that could be seen were his byakugan and clock eyes.
"Are you just going to pretend I'm not here?" Cyclone asked rhetorically.
The three looked at Cyclone with anger.
"You've landed a few lucky blows, but do you think you've done something?" Cyclone said, "I feel like I can fight for another year or two straight, what about you?"
Naruto and Luffy winced.
"He's just trying to scare you." Kraken said.
"Am I?" Cyclone asked.
Kraken turned to face Cyclone.
"But he's the one who's afraid." Kraken said.
Cyclone laughed.
"OOOOOO HA HA HA HA don't kid yourselves! This is all barely a warm up." Cyclone laughed.
"Who did you see, when Luffy transformed?" Kraken asked.
Cyclone became serious.
"Was it him?" Kraken asked.
Cyclone breathed heavier.
"Joyboy?" Kraken asked.
Cyclone snapped and dashed at Kraken, who put his fists up and loaded up a punch.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Cyclone and Kraken fists didn't touch, but they clashed as a shock wave blasted Naruto and Luffy and eventually forced Cyclone and Kraken away from each other.
Cyclone smirked.
"You got me." Cyclone said.
Kraken stared at Cyclone.
"Joyboy... Hagoromo... and a few other characters from my past have all come back to haunt me." Cyclone admitted, "it's taken me out of my game a little."
Kraken smiled.
"Muranaka Nara. A demon who's been out of hell far too long. Your name is connected to murders that spanned almost a thousand years. All prominent fighters with special abilities." Kraken said, "You didn't really think you'd kill all those people and not face the consequences right?"
Cyclone smiled.
"So you think you know me?" Cyclone said with an evil smile.
Cyclone's arm slowly began develop a grayish white color as Cyclone's arm slowly turned into glass.
Kraken put his guard up as Luffy and Naruto dashed back.
"Naruto, Luffy get behind me! I don't know what he has planned next." Kraken said.
Cyclone continued smiling his evil smile as the glass covered arm now began to be covered with a red aura before bursting into flames!
"What the hell..." Kraken said.
Naruto and Luffy couldn't believe it.
"What is he doing? Is that some kind of jutsu?" Naruto asked.
"COOOOOOL!" Luffy yelled with stars in his eyes.
"Those techniques aren't jutsu, or devil fruits. Cyclone's been to lands we can't even imagine. From what I've come to understand, he's using something called Nen right now. It's too much to get into though, and I don't really understand it myself, just be on guard!" Kraken said.
Luffy and Naruto nodded.
The glass covered arm slowly melted off Cyclone's body, beginning to look like a stretched out, molten, tear drop.
"Yuck!" Naruto yelled.
"What have you got planned?..." Kraken asked himself.
The molten drop, dripped into a puddle of water and hardened back into glass. Cyclone picked up the giant glass tear by the end and used his nen to make the tail of the tear drop rubber. Cyclone focused his clock eye on his arm, resetting his arm to the point it was completely fine.
Naruto, Kraken, and Luffy were taken back.
"Prince Rupert's Drop." Cyclone said, holding the glass teardrop.
"I'm not just a fighter, Kraken. I'm a scientist, archaeologist, and biologist, you name it. I love to learn. During a random study, I found out that melting glass and cooling it in water creates what you see here. The end of this glass is harder than diamond. I wouldn't be able to swing it around like this if I didn't make the end rubbery." Cyclone said.
"Decided to give us a science lesson?" Kraken asked.
Cyclone stared seriously, then smiled.
"I tried everything. A press put a dent in the platform, bullets shattered instead of destroying the glass... I thought... what would happen... If it could be used as a weapon?" Cyclone asked, with an evil smile.
"LUFFY, NARUTO GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Kraken yelled.
Naruto and Luffy jumped out of the way as Cyclone teleported above him and whipped the tear drop at Kraken who dodged it.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The drop destroyed the area and created a massive crater.
"That thing can do some damage!" Naruto said as he looked to the side and put up his guard.
WHAM!
The glass tear drop slammed into Naruto's guard, cracking his arms.
"My arms!" Naruto groaned as he was sent flying into the ground.
Kraken pulled out two pistols and shot them at Cyclone then dashed down past Cyclone and aimed back towards him, firing another shot.
"Impressive show, but is that it!?" Cyclone yelled as he spun, whipping the tear around his body, deflecting all three bullets. Kraken jumped above Cyclone and used moonwalk to blast towards Cyclone. Kraken held out a knee and Cyclone whipped the tear at Kraken.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Kraken's haki covered knee slammed against the tear drop. Kraken winced in pain, his knee was cracked!
"Is this thing really that strong?!" Kraken asked out loud.
Cyclone forced Kraken away, then swung the tear back at Kraken, who turned his arm into a tentacle and launched it at the tear. Kraken wrapped around the drop and Kraken pulled towards himself, pulling Cyclone off the ground!
"Tsk!" Cyclone let out.
Kraken loaded up a punch as Cyclone flew towards him.
"RRAHHH!" Kraken yelled as he threw a punch at Cyclone, who dodge it barely!
Cyclone smiled.
WHAM!
Cyclone spit up blood as Kraken smiled.
"A sh-shockwave!?" Cyclone asked.
"Fish man karate! Courtesy of Fish man islands finest!" Kraken yelled.
Cyclone's eye widened.
"You know Fish man Island well don't you!? We will achieve Joy Boy's dream!" Kraken yelled.
Kraken flipped in the air and landed on the ground and pulled Cyclone towards him again. Kraken hardened his fist with haki and loaded up a heavy punch!
Cyclone switched to his rinnegan as he was on his way to Kraken. Kraken threw his punch as Cyclone came within range!
"ALMIGHTY PUSH!" Cyclone yelled, holding out a hand.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A giant explosion of wind blasted through Kraken, destroying the ground behind him!
"WHAT!? NO WAY!" Cyclone yelled, "HE WITHSTOOD ALMIGHTY PUSH!?"
Kraken's eyes shone purple as he threw his punch.
"DEMON BRICK FIST!" Kraken yelled.
Kraken stopped. His fist directly in front of Cyclone's face. Cyclone breathed heavily in and out. Kraken's eyes widened, his PTSD seemed to kick back in! Cyclone chuckled.
"No! Kraken!" Luffy yelled, Naruto stood to his feet.
"Heh heh heh... HA HA HA-"
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A massive shock wave interrupted Cyclone's laughter, the pressure almost knocking Cyclone's head off his body!
Cyclone was sent flying across the battlefield until he came skidding to a halt. Kraken relaxed and breathed out. Naruto and Luffy coming to his side.
"You're amazing Kraken!" Naruto yelled.
"That was a move Jimbei would use!" Luffy added.
Kraken smiled.
"You guys like it?" Kraken asked.
Down the battlefield, Cyclone slowly got up. Cyclone's face was bloody and his tank top was torn.
"Not bad." Cyclone said.
BOOOOOM!
Cyclone's body exploded with energy as he spread his legs and put the back of his hands together. Cyclone's body developed a purple aura that turned into electricity! Rocks around Cyclone became weightless.
"What kind of move is that!?" Luffy yelled, his eyes popping out of his head, "Is he about to shoot a beam? I love beams!"
"I've never seen haki used this way! Get out of the way!" Kraken yelled.
"You can't escape!" Cyclone yelled, "DEMON GUN!"
Cyclone blasted the massive purple beam at the trio!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luffy yelled as he flew in the air, his eyes popping from his head again. Luffy grabbed his eyes and put them back in his head, and back flipped. Luffy blasted down into the ground, making the ground rubber. As Luffy came up, he held onto the ground, bringing it up with him, creating a wall of rubber stone!
"Whoa!" Naruto yelled with a smile.
Kraken was shocked.
"Is this the extent... of Joy boy's power?" Kraken asked.
"Huh?" Cyclone said to himself.
Luffy held up the wall with his muscle muscle form as the beam came crashing into the wall. Luffy struggled to maintain control of the wall but stayed strong and sent the attack back at Cyclone!
"WHAT!?" Cyclone yelled, his eyes popping out of his head.
Luffy laughed and kicked on top of the now solid wall.
Cyclone stopped time, giving him time to dodge the attack. When Cyclone resumed time he watched the beam go past him and explode. When he turned around, Naruto was in his face with a rasengan!
"TAKE THIS!" Naruto yelled.
Cyclone smiled and held out his hand, his chakra spiraled into his hand then caught on fire!
"What!?" Nartuo yelled.
Cyclone slammed his fire rasengan into Naruto's, and with little effort, sent Naruto flying back to the group.
Luffy caught Naruto in a giant hand.
"Naruto, you okay?" Kraken asked.
"Y-yeah! That just burned a little, he did a fire release rasengan!" Naruto yelled.
Cyclone walked up slowly.
"I was a shinobi before anything else, boy. Wind release is at its weakest against fire release." Cyclone explained, picking up his Prince Rupert's Drop.
Kraken, Naruto, and Luffy got in fighting stances. A vein popped in Cyclone's head.
"Do you seriously see yourselves winning this fight!?" Cyclone yelled, lifting the drop and slamming it on the ground again.
Naruto and Kraken dodged to the left. Luffy dodged towards a stone structure.
"COME HERE!" Cyclone yelled, pulling at the bungee gum he had attatched to Luffy earlier.
"AHHHHHH! GO AWAY!" Luffy yelled as he grabbed the stone structure, not knowing why he was being pulled. The stone structure slowly cracked. Luffy's body stretched until his sandals were within Cyclone's range. Cyclone reached out to grab Luffy's ankle.
"Luffy hang on!" Naruto yelled.
"No! Stay out of the way!" Luffy yelled, smiling.
Naruto was confused.
Luffy looked back at Cyclone smiling, Cyclone smiled back.
"GUM GUM...!" Luffy started.
Cyclone's eyes widened slightly.
"RECOIL!" Luffy yelled, the structure breaking and Luffy zipping towards Cyclone at light speed!
Cyclone was too surprised to dodge and the rock slammed against Cyclone's face, causing Cyclone to spit up blood. Luffy's body snapped and he flipped around as the rock flew above Cyclone's head. Luffy had an idea.
"GUM GUM!" Luffy yelled, making a big fist.
Cyclone groaned as he looked up at Luffy.
"HIGH STRIKER!" Luffy yelled, blasting his fist at Cyclone, slamming it against his stomach! Cyclone coughed up mucus as his neck stretched into the air and blasted into the rock, destroying it! It looked like a high striker game at a carnival.
"AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Luffy yelled.
"Those attacks are ridiculous..." Kraken said with a nervous sweat.
"That was amazing Luffy!" Naruto yelled.
Luffy continued laughing until Kraken's senses heightened! Kraken saw the next ten seconds play out. Cyclone attempted to stab Luffy, Naruto zips in to grab Cyclone's Prince Rupert's Drop but it shatters, Cyclone cuts both Naruto and Luffy in half!
"NO!" Kraken yelled as he pulled out his pistols, "Nagashima! I know you can hear me! Let's do that!" Kraken said, shooting bullets with both of his pistols in a few different directions. Each bullet was shot into their own mini portal!
Cyclone got up and grabbed his sword, attempting to cut Luffy. Luffy looked back.
"Luffy watch out!" Naruto yelled.
ZZUUWIP!
Naruto zipped over to them instantly and tried to grab the Prince Rupert's Drop, but it shattered!
Cyclone stopped time for a moment to talk to Naruto. Without looking at the shinobi, Cyclone spoke.
"The Prince Rupert's Drop is an anomaly. As strong as the tear is at the end, the slightest touch to the tail shatters it entirely." Cyclone explained.
Naruto's eyes widened as he thought about what Cyclone said before.
"I wouldn't be able to swing it around like this if I didn't make the end rubbery."
Cyclone resumed time but felt a pain in his leg.
"ARGH!" Cyclone let out. This hesitation allowed Naruto to grab Luffy and teleport the two to safety.
Cyclone followed through and realized he missed his targets.
"Damn! What was that!?" Cyclone asked, "It felt like..."
Cyclone looked around and saw a bullet.
"A bullet?" Cyclone asked looking up at the recovering Luffy and Naruto. Kraken held his pistols.
Cyclone's eyes widened.
"Impossible... there's no way he shot me!" Cyclone said as a portal opened up behind him!
Cyclone looked back to see a bullet coming out of a portal towards his head!
"NO!" Cyclone yelled, barely dodging the bullet. Cyclone followed the bullet and watched it go into another portal. More portals opened sending more bullets!
"WHAT IS THIS!" Cyclone held up a guard.
The bullets blasted Cyclone's body as they passed through him and went into portals that shot them out somewhere else, bombarding Cyclone with an almost endless barrage of gunshots!
"Yeah!" Kraken cheered.
"Is that the business man's ability?" Naruto asked.
Kraken turned to Naruto and smiled.
"That'll teach you for hurting gravity gramps, Casino!" Luffy yelled.
Naruto and Kraken put their heads down.
"That wasn't even close to what his name is Luffy..." Kraken said.
Cyclone's eyes became completely blacked out as his body filled with dark energy. Cyclone's body developed a black aura as Cyclone's muscles got bigger, catching the bullets in his skin. Inside Cyclone's mind he realized what was going on.
"That's where they all went... right under my damn nose! That cosmo brat has been taking them to the world of portals so these jokers can fight all out! Nobody out smarts me in battle!" Cyclone yelled to himself, Cyclone enhanced his vocal chords, causing his neck to get bigger.
"What is he doing!?" Naruto asked.
"I think... he's using his nen to enhance his muscles!" Kraken yelled.
Cyclone reached his peak.
"NOBODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Cyclone yelled a massive demonic wail!
The shockwaves destroyed the battlefield and pushed the fog violently! Waves crashed and rose over the castle grounds, crashing into the ground and the port. Kraken's ship was now completely swallowed by waves.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cyclone screamed.
Naruto, Luffy, and Kraken fought as hard as they could to stay grounded. Naruto turned his truth seekers into rods and slammed them into the ground, hanging onto them. Luffy slammed his feet into the ground, holding him in place, but blowing the rest of his body around like an inflatable tube man. Kraken held up his guard until the wind forced his arms back.
"My-My arms!" Kraken yelled in pain.
BOOOOOM!
Kraken's eyes widened as he looked at his arm.
"KRAKEN!" Naruto yelled.
Kraken's arm had been completely blown off. Blood flew everywhere. Kraken coughed up blood.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cyclone continued yelling until realiity itself ripped open!
A portal opened up and inside sat Nagashima and every single member of the Straw Hat Shinobi that was on the island previously.
"HOW THE FUCK!?" Nagashima yelled.
Cyclone stopped yelling and jumped into the portal.
"NO!" Naruto yelled attempting to run towards the portal, but Kraken fell over.
"K-Kraken! Everyone! I'll save you! Luffy!" Naruto yelled.
Luffy dashed over to the portal and almost made it inside but was kicked out by Cyclone. The portal closed.
"Quick we need to get back in there!" Luffy yelled.
"How do we do that!? Kraken?" Naruto asked, Kraken was unconcious.
"Luffy what do we do!?" Naruto asked.
"I-I don't know!" Luffy said.
Naruto and Luffy began to stress. Cyclone could be doing anything to their friends right now.
THE WORLD OF PORTALS
In a spaced out area full of portals Cyclone and the others stood on thin air.
"How the hell did he get in here!?" Sanji yelled.
"How the fuck would I know!?" Nagashima yelled.
"I thought Joy Boy and Hagoromo were bad enough..." Cyclone said through his teeth, "I'll slaughter you all right now, they have no hope of coming here."
"As if! I'll open a portal right no-"
WHAM!
Cyclone elbowed Nagashima in the jaw, sending him across the dimension.
Hinata put her hand to her mouth and called Naruto's name in her mind.
"Naruto... save us!" Hinata said.
DUBOIS'S CASTLE COURTYARD
Naruto and Luffy tried to brainstorm what they could do.
"Naruto...!"
Naruto's head shot up.
"I can hear Hinata!" Naruto said.
"Hm?" Luffy said.
"There has to be a way I can get in there... I know it! I could move in Cyclone's stopped time... that means... I should be able to travel through space too right?" Naruto asked.
"Ummmm I don't know!" Luffy said.
"If I can replicate that scream Cyclone did... maybe I can open a portal! I can't scream that loud though!... Maybe... Luffy?" Naruto asked.
Luffy looked at Naruto.
"How far can you really stretch?" Naruto asked.
Luffy was confused and then smiled big.
THE WORLD OF PORTALS
Sasuke tried to fire fire balls but couldn't.
"I can't use jutsu here?!" Sasuke asked.
Cyclone teleported up to Sasuke and kicked him down.
"This world doesn't exist." Cyclone said, teleporting down to Sasuke again and kicking him away.
"It's impossible to channel any form of energy here. Weapons can be used though, but it won't do you any good." Cyclone said, looking at Hinata.
"You..." Cyclone said, walking towards Hinata.
"Hey!" Sanji yelled, running towards Cyclone, who choked him and slammed him without missing a beat and continued walking. Hinata opened her eyes slowly and looked up at Cyclone.
"You're talking to him... aren't you?" Cyclone said.
Hinata gasped.
"No! I'm not!" Hinata yelled as Cyclone choked her.
Sakura and Boa ran up.
"Let her go!" Sakura yelled.
Cyclone kicked Sakura hard in the gut and back fisted Boa away, continuing to choke Hinata.
"N-N-Naruto...K-K-Kun..." Hinata groaned.
"Let's see Naruto's face when I bring you bag to reality as a corpse..." Cyclone said coldly.
DUBOIS'S CASTLE COURTYARD (FAR END)
Naruto and Luffy had made their way to the far end of Dubois's courtyard. High in the sky, Luffy stood, twisted up to his maximum, Naruto hanging on.
"Are... you... sure... you... can... hang... on...!?" Luffy let out with pain.
"I'll be fine! Let's go!" Naruto yelled.
"OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Luffy yelled, untwisting himself, picking up insane amounts of speed. Naruto struggled to hang on as the wind pressure became so strong he could feel it breaking bones.
"I'M... NOT LETTING GO!" Naruto yelled.
After what felt like forever, Luffy was almost untwisted.
"Are you ready!?" Luffy asked.
"Y-YEAH!" Naruto answered, incredibly dizzy.
After a few more moments, Naruto yelled.
"NOW!" Naruto yelled, letting go of Luffy.
SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEERRRRRRRROOOOOOOOPPPP!
Naruto flashed across the island with so much force the ground was destroyed beneath him! Naruto clenched his fist and filled it with cosmic chakra. Naruto pointed the fist in front of him.
"Cyclone... I'm coming!" Naruto yelled, flashing across the island. Stars slowly surrounding him.
"CYCLONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Naruto yelled, disappearing into thin air.
"WOAHHH it worked!" Luffy yelled, "Hm?" Luffy looked back to see two men standing behind him.
"Greetings. I am the collector." Collector said, bowing.
Who's-Who was filled with shock.
"N-N-Nika...!" Who's-Who yelled, reacting to Luffy's gear 5 form.
"Nika? Who's that? I'm Monkey D. Luffy, I'm going to be the pirate king!" Luffy cheered.
"I do not think so, Lord Cyclone will be the king of the world, not some punk. Now get out of our way, Lord Cyclone brought us here to collect the Sabertooth fruit." Collector said.
Luffy became serious and looked back at Kasai's body.
"Sabertooth? Plant head guy's fruit?" Luffy asked.
EMPTY VOID
Naruto blasted through an empty void it was as if he was flying through space.
"How am I going to find them?!" Naruto asked, immediately, Naruto could feel Hinata's energy fading.
"HINATA!" Naruto yelled as a white light shone in front of him.
WORLD OF PORTALS
Cyclone continued to choke Hinata as he dodged Kakashi's kunai slices. Cyclone kneed Kakashi in the stomach and kicked him away. Cyclone squeezed Hinata's neck harder.
"Your neck should be broken by now! You're tough!" Cyclone yelled.
FWIFWIFWIFWIFWIFWIFWIFWI!
Cyclone's eyes widened as a portal opened behind him. Everyone was shocked to see Naruto.
"Wh-Whiskers-ya...!" Law groaned.
Akainu was stuck with shock.
"Naruto... Uzumaki...?" Fujitora asked.
Hinata smiled with tears in her eyes. Cyclone released his grip on Hinata and Sanji caught her.
"I can't believe this..." Cyclone said as he watched Naruto's galaxy punch get closer and closer.
"I..." Naruto said.
"I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU!" Naruto yelled, slamming his cosmic punch into Cyclone's face. The entire world of portals shook.
"What's going on!?" Lionel asked.
"Who knows at this point! I never expected anything like this!" Nagashima groaned.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto yelled as colorful stars spiraled around the impact point of Cyclone's face. Cyclone stared off into the distance. Slowly everything around everyone began to crack, the world of portals itself was breaking! Eventually the entire world shattered like glass and everyone was back in reality! Back at Duboi's castle.
"Huh? We're back?" Kakashi asked, standing up.
"What the hell did Naruto do?" Sanji asked, holding Hinata.
Sasuke looked over.
"Hey, Luffy's fighting two new guys!" Sasuke said.
In the distance, Luffy fought Who's-Who and Collector.
Luffy bounced away.
"Gum Gum, Mole Pistol!" Luffy yelled, punching the ground, sending a rubber piece of ground crashing into Collector's ribs.
"GRAHHH!" Collector yelled as he coughed up blood.
Who's-Who teleported in front of Luffy and kicked him into the castle wall. Luffy bounced off the wall and used the speed to launch an attack at Who's-Who!
"Gum Gum!... WHIP ROCKET!" Luffy slammed his foot into Who's-Who's body, stretching Who's-Who's body and flinging him towards the ground.
BOOOM!
"Well... I guess we don't have to worry about them..." Kakashi said.
Everyone looked back at Naruto with his fist against Cyclone's face.
ZZZZZZEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOPPP
A cosmic sound could be heard as Cyclone was sent blasting towards Dubois's castle once more. Cyclone's body flung and bounced until it crashed through the air like he went through glass! Cyclone flew through space until he crashed through another glass that sent him back to reality.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
Cyclone crashed into Dubois's castle doors. Knocking them over.
BOOOOOOM!
No one could believe it.
"N-Naruto..." Sakura said.
Boa was speechless.
Sasuke and Kakashi didn't react. They knew Naruto had it in him.
Hinata smiled through barely opened eyes.
"Naruto..." Hinata said.
"ALRIGHT! NARUTO!" Sanji yelled.
Mihawk's face held shock and awe for the first time in years.
"Is this the true power... of the shinobi?" Mihawk asked himself.
"Whiskers...ya..." Law choked out.
"THAT WAS AWESOME! NARUTO!" Lionel yelled.
Akainu growled and clenched his fist.
"I don't care... I will never acknowledge their strength!" Akainu yelled to himself.
Naruto breathed in and out heavily.
Luffy looked back at Naruto.
"OOOOOO! Everyone's back!" Luffy yelled.
"What does it matter..." A raspy voice said, "None of you stand a chance..."
"Hm? What are you talking about four arms?" Luffy said.
"I HAVE SIX ARMS!" Collector shot up, "JAMBAVAN WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
"Jamba wha-" Luffy asked.
Suddenly one of the giant castle doors was blasted away and Cyclone sat straight up.
"Wh-What!?" Naruto asked weakly, returning to normal.
Kraken was still unconcious.
"He's back up..." Kakashi said, breathing heavily.
Sanji fell to his knees.
"No way..." Sanji said.
"When Lord Cyclone dies... JAMBAVAN ARRIVES! THERE IS NO WHERE YOU CAN GO! NO WHERE YOU CAN HIDE!" Collector yelled.
Cyclone's body was covered in a blue aura. Cyclone's eyes were completely black. The aura took the shape of a bear.
"This man isn't just a demon... he's the devil himself..." Mihawk said.
Jamavan held out his right hand, aiming it at Naruto.
crackle...crackle...
Jambavan looked down to see his entire right side had been frozen solid! Jambavan's eyes widened as he looked back to see cold air coming from Duboi's castle.
"It's freezing...!" Sasuke said, encasing everyone in susanoo, it helped a little, but it was still intensely cold! Jambavan could feel the energy coming from inside the castle and felt fear!
Jambavan burst from the ice and dashed away as the ice chased him!
"The ice is chasing him!?" Sakura asked.
Jambavan eventually found what he was looking for, Kasai's reincarnated fruit. He grabbed it and dashed towards Who's-Who and Collector, grabbing them and teleporting away. All of the ice on the battlefield slowly retreated back into the castle. Sasuke released his susanoo and everyone assessed the battlefield. Kasai's body was still unbothered. Naruto had passed out, as well as Luffy. Kraken walked up to the group with one arm. Hinata ran over to check on Naruto, and Boa ran to check on Luffy.
"AHHHHH!" Sakura yelled.
"Kraken! What happened to your arm?" Kakashi asked.
Kraken looked down at his arm.
"Oh, yikes! Cyclone did that... ha ha." Kraken chuckled nervously.
"Do you... um... need help?" Sakura asked.
Kraken smiled.
"No! I'll be fine!" Kraken said happily, regenerating his arm with a tentacle.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura almost passed out.
Kraken transformed the tentacle into another arm.
"Why am I even still surprised..." Sakura said.
Franky, Chopper, Usopp, Jimbei, Nami, and Brook all finally woke up.
"Wh-What happened?" Nami asked.
"We passed out?" Brook asked.
"OW! We missed the action!? We're alive so we must have won!" Franky said.
"What happened!? Where's Kasai?" Chopper asked.
Sakura shook her head. Chopper began to cry, Nami consoled him.
"Wh-where's Cyclone now?" Usopp asked.
Kraken looked over at Naruto and Luffy.
"Your captain and Naruto... put on quite the show..." Kraken said, "They... they won! Ha ha! They won!" Kraken yelled happily.
Everyone began to cheer.
"But we've still got to accomplish what we came here for." Kraken said seriously, "It's time everyone."
Everyone became serious. It was finally time to go into Dubois's castle.
