Naruto stared at the three normal elders and the bearded elder who had turned into a thunder conjuring god through his pupil-less crystal fox form eyes with rage.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION! YOU'RE GONNA GO WIPE OUT WHAT WORLD!?" Naruto yelled.
"I think you heard us." St Topman said.
"After you're all defeated here, we're going to go finish off the Ninja World once and for all!" St. Ethan said.
"Just seeing you here… in this room! Fills us with unimaginable rage!" St. Mars said.
Naruto clenched his teeth and shook violently.
"I don't give a damn about your rage! I won't allow you to bother the people of the Ninja World! We came here to save our friends… but now… knowing what you plan on doing!..." Naruto spoke with pure aggression. His fists shaking and the room trembling.
Law and Brook were taken by surprise.
"Whiskers-ya… I never thought I'd see him so angry." Law said to himself.
"Naruto-san…" Brook said softly.
"BUT NOW … THIS IS PERSONAL!" Naruto said.
Suddenly, Naruto's already powerful crystal fox form would grow even stronger!
Ten diamond shaped balls of energy surrounded his back in a circle and two strands of his hair stood up to form wat looked like horns.
The white aura that surrounded his body grew even more powerful and filled the room with a cool chill.
"Do you think you fill us with any sort of fear just because you show off some pretty form and scream? Fool, we've been on this earth far longer than you!" St. Ethan said.
Naruto's eyes were hidden by shadow as he clenched his teeth.
"We're smarter than you!" St. Saturn said.
Naruto's eyes were hidden by shadow as he clenched his teeth.
"We're more experienced than you!" St. Topman said.
Naruto's eyes were hidden by shadow as he clenched his teeth.
"We're stronger than you!" St. Mars yelled.
Naruto's eyes were hidden by shadow as he clenched his teeth.
"WE ARE THE GOROSEI! THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL LOSE THIS FIGHT!" The elders all said at once.
St. Mars held a ball of lightning between a space in his two hands and loaded it up.
"DIE!" St. Mars said.
The lightning blasted at Naruto and the others and exploded at their location, but it didn't appear to hit them!
The Gorosei stared at the smoky area with confusion until the thunder god elder was suddenly blown away and out of a window!
The lightning blast blowing away a large chunk of the room and building!
BOOM! CRASH!
"GUAGH!" St. Mars groaned as he spit up blood.
The rest of the Gorosei were in absolute shock! All of the elders looked back at the broken window.
"What the hell happened!?" St. Topman asked.
"How the hell are we supposed to know!?" St. Ethan said.
"Someone needs to give us an explanation!" St. Saturn said.
Suddenly… the elders felt as if someone was watching them. They all turned to see what troubled them.
Law stood in front of the sword wielding elder with his sword at the elder's neck.
Brook knelt by the cane wielding elder with his sword pointing at the elder.
Naruto stood in front of the mustached elder with his arms crossed with a face mixed with determination and rage.
For only the second time in their lives… the elders were scared!
"What-What the hell did you just do!?" St. Topman yelled.
Naruto continued to look down on the elder with his arms crossed.
MOMENTS EARLIER
"DIE!" St. Mars boomed as he blasted a heavy lighting blast at Naruto, Law, and Brook.
Naruto looked up at the lighting blast and widened his eyes with an angry expression.
All of the sudden, the lightning blast slowed down and eventually stopped!
Naruto was taken by surprise to be honest as he expected to get ready to dodge the attack. Naruto looked back at Law and Brook to see they had completely frozen, as well as the Gorosei!
"What the hell is this? Did I?... Stop time?" Naruto asked himself.
Naruto continued to look around until he saw the lightning god elder at the end of the room and was filled with anger yet again!
"I don't know how long this time stop will last… so I'm gonna take advantage of it!" Naruto said, running across the room and punching St. Mars as hard as he could in the face.
St. Mars face moved all the way to the side, it was indeed a heavy punch.
"You'll feel that in just a second you bastard! Now…" Naruto said, looking back at Law and Brook, "I need to move those guys out the way too!" Naruto said, running over and grabbing the two.
Naruto positioned them with their swords pointing at the other two elders and stood in front of the mustached elder with his arms crossed.
"All right. All set!" Naruto said.
Time began to move again.
END OF FLASHBACK
St. Topman stared up with fear at Naruto's confident smile. St. Topman looked at the other two elder's and saw they hid the same fear in their faces and became angry.
Law and Brook also reacted to the events.
"Whiskers-ya… I don't know what the hell you just did… but." Law chuckled, "God, we're lucky to have a guy like you on our side."
"Yo ho ho ho Naruto-san only continues to grow in power! I don't know how I ended up over here, but it doesn't matter! We've got the upper hand!" Brook said to himself.
St. Saturn still sat with his fingers intertwined and his eyes hidden by shadow.
"What did this boy just do? Instantaneously he punched the other elder, got himself and his friends out of the way, and stood right in front of me… all in the blink of an eye! There was no way for any of us to see what just happened… is he just that fast? No… I doubt it. Nothing is that fast surely! So… how did he do it?" St. Topman said to himself.
The mustached elder closed his eyes for a moment and thought about it.
"The ability to move from one place to another in the blink of an eye… we've developed something like that for our cipher pol agents and our more powerful marines, we call it "shave" but there is no way to attack during your teleportation… only after! Invisibility? He can move from one place to another and attack us without being seen that is true… but what about the other two? They moved as well, and they don't appear to be as strong or as fast as this ninja… so what then?" St. Topman kept thinking to himself.
"You won't get away with this, you fools!" St. Ethan said.
"Every time you attack us, you're only making things worse for yourselves." St. Saturn said.
St. Topman continued to think on what just happened, until… a revelation hit him!
"WAIT! I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE!" The mustached elder said to himself.
"Muranaka!… he did something like this to us before! He was able to move locations instantly as well as move and harm people… he used this ability to take out armies of men and toy with people… even it appeared he could reverse the situation in his favor if something didn't work out… yes… I think I've got it!" St. Topman said to himself.
Naruto became a little confused when St. Topman looked up at him suddenly.
"It's time! You have the ability to stop time, don't you?!" St. Topman yelled.
HOLY LAND OF MARIEJOIS (OUTSIDE THE MANOR)
Sasuke and the sun god elder continued to trade sword slashes in their most powerful forms.
Ju Peter held his own, but he was no match for Sasuke's Susanoo.
"Take this!" Sasuke said, throwing a diagonal sword slash.
Ju Peter blocked it with his sword and the two were at a standstill.
"Why…" Ju Peter asked.
Sasuke was a little surprised.
"ARE YOU TOYING WITH ME!" Ju Peter yelled, forcing Sasuke away.
Sasuke jumped back and smiled.
"So you've noticed that too." Sasuke said.
Ju Peter became enraged.
"I AM ONE OF THE FIVE ELDER STARS WHO RULE THIS WORLD WITH AN IRON FIST! I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO BE HUMILIATED!" Ju Peter said, holding up his sword.
Sasuke focused on the sword as a beam of light came crashing down into it.
BOOM!
Ju Peter smiled as the beam of light seemed to come directly from the sun itself! Sasuke braced for what might happen next.
"PREPARE TO DIE, SHINOBI SCUM!" Ju Peter yelled, "HELIOS'S HEAVENLY SUN SPLITTER!"
Ju Peter slammed his sword into the ground sending a gargantuan beam of light energy and fire towards Sasuke!
"Grgh!" Sasuke grunted, "It's too big to jump above and too wide to dodge!" Sasuke said.
"AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW!?" The sun god elder yelled.
Sasuke wore a nervous expression as the beam came closer and closer.
As it made its way towards him, it cut the red line tremendously! Anyone and anything in the way had no chance of survival.
Sasuke unfortunately ran out of time to make a move and was consumed in the blast as it continued down the Red Line for kilometers!
RED LINE (BOTTOM)
BOOM!
The shockwaves from Ju Peter's sword attack could be felt and heard even at the bottom of the Red Line! The Straw Hats who awaited there surely reacted!
"AHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Usopp and Chopper yelled.
Franky looked up into the sky through his shades.
"It appears the fighting has begun. Now all we have to do is make sure no one interferes." Franky said.
"The ninja sure are scary… they're super strong.." Chopper said.
"But as scary as they are, they're on our side! That's all that matters." Nami said.
"Exactly! Maybe if we're lucky we can get the entire Ninja World to help us fight Psycho. He's most likely a wanted man there like he is here, so they'd for sure help us." Usopp said.
"I wouldn't go speaking too crazy Usopp, we need to take this a step at a time. All we can do is put our faith in them to free our friends and then we'll worry about the rest." Franky said.
BOOM!
A massive explosion in the water captured the attention of the Straw Hats.
"What the hell was that?!" Franky yelled.
Usopp pulled out his binoculars and looked out towards the sea and began to shake.
"M-M-M-M-MARINES!" Usopp yelled.
"WHAT! HOW THE HELL DID THEY KNOW WE WERE HERE!? DON'T THE ONLY MARINES WHO DEFEND THIS PLACE SIT UP TOP WITH THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS!?" Franky yelled.
"YOU'RE YELLING AT ME LIKE I HAVE THE ANSWERS!" Usopp yelled.
"STOP ARGUING AND GET READY TO FIGHT YOU IDIOTS!" Nami yelled at the two.
"ALL THIS YELLING IS MAKING ME NERVOUS!" Chopper yelled.
"It's fine! Turn the ship around and face the threat! I've made adjustments to Sunny! We can pick off these ships with ease!" Franky said.
Usopp and the others nodded and made the preparations.
Slowly the Sunny turned to face the army of marine warships. The Sunny opened its mouth to reveal a cannon.
"Surely you all remember the goan cannon!? Well there's more now!" Franky said.
Usopp, Nami, and Chopper stared with awe.
The Sunny then slowly moved its paws, that are usually used for weighing anchor, out to its sides, making the ship look as if it was mimicking airplane wings.
The paws slowly turned up and faced its palms towards the armada. The paw pad slowly retreated and out popped two more big cannons.
"Introducing the Sunny's upgraded offense system! Radical Gaon Cannons!" Franky yelled.
Chopper, Usopp, and Nami were incredibly impressed.
"WOW FRANKY! YOU'RE AMAZING!" Nami yelled.
Franky smiled.
"OF COURSE I AM! NOW! LET'S DESTROY SOME MARINE SHIPS!" Franky yelled.
"WAIT!" Usopp yelled.
Franky was confused.
"Wait for what? Hurry and tell us!" Franky said.
"The marines haven't even noticed us yet!" Usopp said.
The others were confused.
"So why did they fire at us?" Nami asked.
Usopp slowly pulled the binoculars away from his face and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Usopp! What's wrong?" Chopper asked.
"They were firing at somebody else and missed…" Usopp said softly.
"Well who were they firing at!?" Franky asked.
"D-D-D-D-D-D-D…" Usopp stuttered.
"DAMN IT USOPP SPIT IT OUT!" Nami yelled.
"There's a man leading them straight towards us… the-the-the warlord…." Usopp stopped.
Everyone was nervous.
"DRACULE MIHAWK!" Usopp yelled.
HOLY LAND OF MARIE JOIS MANOR (BASEMENT TOURTURE CHAMBERS)
Sakura ran through the basement chambers of the Holy Land Manor looking for her friends.
She has been led to believe Robin, Luffy, and Hancock are locked away here, by the dying words of Arlong the fish man.
She is also looking for Hinata whom's fate has not been revealed as of yet.
In another chamber. A torturer had a woman with lavender hair was dragged into a room full of cells. Her hands were bound behind her back.
"Let me go!" Hinata yelled.
The torturer looked down at her.
"Do you think I'm going to let you go just because you told me to? Just be quiet and behave like a good girl you bitch!" The torturer said, slamming Hinata to the ground and slamming his foot down on her nose. A man in a full body straight jacket turned and looked at the madness. His eyes were full of shock when he saw the woman's eyes.
The torturer picked her up and threw her into a cell with a certain green haired man.
"I'll be back for you later." The torturer said, leaving the room.
Hinata groaned and slowly turned to sit up. She huffed and puffed.
"Oi!" A man said.
Hinata jumped and slowly looked over at the man in the cell across from hers.
"Did-did you say something?" Hinata asked.
The man stared at her.
"You're not from around here, are you!?" The man asked.
Hinata was a little nervous.
"N-n-n-no… I'm from somewhere far away…" Hinata said.
The green haired man behind her lifted his head in intrigue.
"I figured… be honest with me… are you!?..." The man stopped.
Hinata grew even more nervous.
"A SHINOBI FROM THE NINJA WORLD-TE!?" The man asked.
Immediately the entire room homed in on the lavender haired woman in the cell. They looked to be angry! The man in the cell continued to stare at Hinata with red eyes.
"Sh-shinobi!... So she's one of them then…?" The man behind Hinata asked himself.
Hinata continued to nervously look around the room.
"ARE YOU-TE!?" The man yelled.
Hinata closed her eyes and opened them. She had a look of determination on her face.
"Yes! I am Hinata Hyuga of the Village Hidden in Leaves! Straight from the Ninja World!" Hinata yelled.
The man behind her became shocked as well as the man in the cell.
Everyone else were shocked as well. Hinata held her determined face until she heard a sniffle. She looked around and some people were crying!
"Wha…" Hinata said softly.
"OH YES! OH THANK GOD!"
"A shinobi!... We have truly been being watched over!"
"Finally! All our suffering can end!"
Hinata was completely taken by surprise! The man in the cell began to smile with relief.
"Shinobi!... Ha ha ha ha! What luck! That energy I felt didn't fool me-te!" The man said.
"Oi…" The man behind Hinata said.
Hinata looked over at him.
"You're a shinobi… does that mean you know the others who have been traveling with us?" The man asked.
Hinata didn't know what to say.
"Um… yes, but um, who are you? You know my friends?" Hinata asked.
"My name is Roronoa Zoro… I believe I'm the person you guys are here for…" Zoro said.
Hinata was completely confused now, but before she could ask another question groaning and punches could be heard outside the room.
"I said…" A voice said.
BOOOOOOMMMM!
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!" Sakura yelled, punching her way into the room and blowing a group of torturers into the room.
The man in the cell was astonished and Zoro was filled with shock and relief.
"TH-THE PINK HAIRED GIRL! WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!?" Zoro asked.
"Another one! What the hell is going on here!?" The man in the cell yelled to himself.
Sakura looked around the room to all the astonished and happy faces.
"WE'RE SAVED! THE SHINOBI ARE HERE TO SAVE US!"
"NO WAY THE GOVERNMENT CAN STOP THEIR EFFORTS!"
Sakura was confused.
"Sakura!" Hinata yelled.
Sakura looked over and smiled.
"Hinata! Are you okay?" Sakura asked, running over to the cell.
"Yes I'm fine. He broke my nose but I'll be okay… we need to get out of here." Hinata said.
"Oi, Sakura! I'm here too!" Zoro said.
Sakura smiled hard.
"ZORO! YOU ARE HERE! Where are Luffy, Hancock, and Robin?" Sakura asked.
Zoro was confused.
"Huh? I should be the only one here. I got lost looking for Robin after she left the other night… and what was that about Luffy!? Is he alright!?" Zoro asked.
Sakura clenched her teeth.
"LUFFY, HANCOCK, AND ROBIN AREN'T HERE!? So what did Arlong…" Sakura thought about it and became enraged.
"We beat Arlong and he told us Robin, Luffy, and Hancock were here! That's why we showed up… to save them!" Hinata said, turning to Zoro.
Zoro was filled with shock.
"He used you to attack the Holy Land didn't he-te!?" The man in the cell said.
Sakura turned to him and clenched her teeth.
"He knew the Straw Hat pirates would do whatever necessary to save their friends! That's why he lied to you-te!" The man in the cell said.
Zoro became angry himself.
"Sakura! Open this cell right now! I'm filled with blood lust!" Zoro yelled.
Sakura looked up and grabbed the cell. She used her monster strength to tear the cell away from the wall! The spectators were shocked at her strength.
"What strength!" The man in the cell said.
Zoro slowly stood up as well as Hinata. Sakura noticed Zoro's wounds and became nervous.
"Zoro you need to be treated!" Sakura said.
"NO!" Zoro yelled.
Sakura and Hinata were caught off guard.
"These bastards lied and caused this big mess! I'll never forgive them! If I find out something happened to my captain!..." Zoro yelled.
Zoro looked over at the end of the room and saw his swords. He walked over and grabbed them. He holstered them to his side and turned back. The people in cells stared at him.
"We'll come back for you all later that's a promise. We can't have you all getting caught in this battle!" Zoro said.
Sakura and Hinata smiled.
"Excuse me!" The man in the cell called out.
Hinata and Sakura looked down at him.
"If you could free me too I'd truly appreciate it! I can fight as well-te!" The man said.
Sakura was unsure.
"How do we know you can trust you?" Sakura asked.
The man smiled.
"You don't… I get it… but I promise you, you want me on your team." The man said.
"Exactly how strong are you?" Sakura asked.
The man smiled and licked his lips.
"Little lady… you're talking to a former marine admiral!" The man yelled.
Sakura was taken by surprise at this, as well as Zoro. Sakura had heard through Hancock how strong a marine admiral was, and Zoro had faced two of them.
"A M-m-marine admiral…" Sakura said softly.
"Free him." Zoro said.
Sakura looked back.
"He's trustworthy." Zoro said.
Sakura became agitated.
"Zoro we can't just trust anybody! He used to be an admiral! I thought pirates hated admirals!" Sakura said.
"This guy has been yelling about killing the five elders and escaping since he's been in here. I don't think he'll betray us." Zoro said.
Sakura looked back down at the man. The man looked up through insane, determined eyes.
"Alright… I'll free him… but if he betrays us you'll hear about it from me!" Sakura yelled.
Zoro put on his bandana.
"Got it." Zoro said, putting a sword in his mouth and taking out his other two.
Sakura pulled the cage wall off and Zoro sliced open the man's straight jacket.
"AARARRRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs and shook the entire room, maybe, even the entire building!
The man with his wild black hair and red eyes, sharp teeth, and strong body crouched with his arms crossed in front of him, his fingers digging into the concrete with ease.
Hinata stood at his left with a determined face, her hand on her hip. Sakura stood at his right, pulling one of her gloves down. Zoro stood behind him, one sword pointed towards the ground, the other on his shoulder.
"ALRIGHT! TIME TO CAUSE SOME DAMAGE!" The man said.
Slowly two of Kasai's teeth began to grow much longer than the others and hung past his chin, like a sabertooth cat from ancient times!
"LET'S GO!" Kasai ordered.
