Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or One Piece.
A/N: Sorry about the late update, got stuck on dialogue, and I tried getting up to 10k for the 250k views but I just got to the episode where Oars attacked the S.H.C., and everyone seems to be getting together, and it seems we're near the end of the arc. I'll be putting Narutos, and Thanes fight in the next chapter although it'll probably be a flashback like Zoros until I get them to fight together. Yes I'm going to have Naruto, and Thane team up for the end of the fight.
Chapter XXXIX
Last Time.
Suddenly the room shook, causing Ryuma to let brook slid in to the stairs. "Found him!" Franky ran over, and lifted Brooks head. "Hey you're still alive right?!" Ryuma walked over, and tried to attack, only to be blocked by Zoro. "You're the legendary samurai who sliced a dragon right?" Zoro asked grinning at Ryuma. "I wanted to meet you."
Ryuma dashed back as the others looked on. "Amazing.. Who's he?" Brook asked as Franky explained. "He's a Santoryu master pirate swordsman.. If your pride allows it, will you let him get your shadow back?" Brook lifted his head, and spoke to Zoro. "Somehow I beg you.. Get my sha..." He was interrupted by Zoro. "SHUT THE HELL UP!" He turned to Ryuma, and noticed his sword.
"Your katana's quite the feat." Ryuma chuckled, and showed off is sword. "You have a good eye.. This is indeed one of the twenty-one great swords." Moving it a little, he continued. "It's T-shape and black, the Meitou, Shusui. (Named Sword: Clear Autumn Water)." He chuckled before finishing. "It's a sword not seen by many."
"So it's a great sword?" Zoro asked before continuing. "I've come crossed a good thing.. I expect you to have a good blade with you being called a samurai." He suddenly grinned. "Alright.. I'm going to use that katana." He finished as Brook yelled. "You're so cool!"
Absalom, and Nami.
In a room that looked like a church Absalom looked to the zombie in front of him for a moment after telling him the news. "They were defeated?!" Absalom asked the zombie as anther held an unconcious Nami in a weddings dress. "I thought Oars was on our..." He stopped seeing Naruto grab the zombie, and puts salt in his mouth. "Nami!" Nojiko yelled doing the same to the zombie holding Nami, catching Nami as she fell.
"Who the hell do you think you are.." Absalom was interrupted being kicked into the wall by Sanji as Naruto picked Nami up, and sat down on the pew. Nami seemed to snuggle him when they sat down. "I would kick your ass if Sanji didn't call dibs." Naruto said as Absalom got up, and stared at Sanji Who seemed to be on fire.
Now.
Luffy, And Moria.
"Kishishishi! You want to beat me up?" Moria asked Luffy as he sat against the wall. "That's right." Luffy asked as Moria smiled. "It won't matter.. The zombies will only lose their commander, the shadows won't return." Moria started explaining as Luffy raised an eye-brow. "Is that so?" Moria nodded, and continued. "Yes, my ability is control over shadow.. If you want your wish granted then you need to force me to order all the shadows to return."
"If I do that the shadows will return?" Moria nodded, and laughed. "That's right, easy ain't it?" He asked before yawning. "But at your level of strength.. I don't think you'll do it." Luffy stretched before jumping in the air. "Gomu Gomu no.. Pisutoru. (Gum Gum Pistol.)" Luffy shot his arm forward at Moria, but a shadow in the shape of Morias arm came up, and blocked it.
"Try to beat him! My clone Dopperuman. (Silhouette.)" The shadow formed into Moria, and stood up. "There was a time when I was confidence in myself, and my ambition." Moria explained as his shadow walked in front of him. "Hey! Who the hell is this guy? Move out-of-the-way." Luffy yelled as Moria continued his story. "I won't lift a finger, and still be pirate king by using the power of others."
"I'm the one who'll be pirate king!" Luffy yelled before dodging a punch from the clone. "That's what your shadow told me also." Moria replied thinking back to when Oars walked out after putting Luffys shadow in him. "When there is such a difference between 'body', and 'shadow' the will of the former master is gone but.." Moria looked over to Luffy, and continued.
"No matter how strong your will is, all the zombies end up being obedient to me." Morias clone started attacking Luffy who jumped out-of-the-way of every attack. "I'll get him back in no time!" Kicking the clone away, Luffy sent a barrage of punchs at Moria. "Gomu Gomu no.." Moria smiled before yelling out his attack. "Burikku Batto. (Brick Bats.)"
Morias clone suddenly turned in to balls, and blocked every punch. "Gatoringu. (Gum Gum Gatling.)" Luffys eyes widened as the balls blocked his attack. Damn it! They block every punch." He said before each ball turned in to bats, and attacked him. "AAHH!" Luffy screamed as he ran up the wall, and out the hole Oars made earlier.
Luffy stretched his arm to the railing, and rocketed back to Moria. "You're a noisy one aren't ya?" He asked as Luffy turned to glare at him. "Shut up!" He yelled before the bats flew back. "Damn you!" Luffy cursed as he brought his fist back.
Usopp Vs. Perona.
"AAAHHH!" Perono sweat-dropped as she, and Bearsy watched Usopp run in circles around them as he was being chased by her zombies. "Damn! I'm the only one that can go up against that Horo-Horo (Hollow-Hollow.) Girl!" Usopp said glancing over to Perona. "The other pirates were so easily defeated by my negative ghosts." Perona thought staring at Usopp remembering the others that were with him.
"And yet there was one guy that's not affected by my ghosts." She finished before shrugging. "No matter.. I'll have him finished off by the animal zombies." Suddenly, Usopp stopped, and was knocked down. "You've got me now.. Die." The zombies cheered for a second, before one spoke up. "Hey don't open your mouths.. He may be lying."
Usopp suddenly shot a ball at each zombies causing them to cover their mouths. "Ha! I used pepper instead." The zombies started sneezing, and Usopp shot another three balls that went in three zombies mouths. Usopp shot another ball at the group that went up to the chandelier, and sets it on fire. (1.) The zombies started laughing at him.
Suddenly, the chandelier fell down, and the zombies was caught on fire, and ran around the room. "Hey Horo-Horo (Hollow-Holow.) girl!" Perona screamed as Usopp pointed a finger at her, and ran out of the room with Usopp following. "Leave Perona-sama alone!" Looking back, Usopp saw Bearsy chasing him, and dived. Usopp side-stepped him having Bearsy hit a pillar.
Bearsy continued to attack Usopp to no avail after one last attempt, Bearsy hits another pillar, and some of the ceiling fell on him.
Outside, Oars.
Oars is walking to the mouth gate after beating Absaloms general zombies, looking around. "Here I go." He said putting a hand in the water, and swirled it around. H pulled his hand out, and sat down putting his feet in, and kicked the water. "Alright! It's getting fun! I'll be the pirate king!" He yelled out before standing up, and do warming exercising.
"One, two, three, four." He chanted finishing his exercising. "It feels like it's been so long since I've felt like this." He said looking at the water. "Can I swim or not?" He asked before shrugging. "Who cares." Holding his nose, He jumped in, and after a minute of s he grabbed the shore and panted.
"You sure are reckless." Looking to his right, he saw Hildon standing on his shoulder. "What would happen if you drink salt water?" He asked sighing before continuing. "If you drink a little it's alright.. But if you drink a lot it'l purify you." Hildon finished before Oars spoke up. "I thought I was dead." Hildon sighed again before rubbing the back of his head. "You really are a lot of work."
Sanji, Naruto, Nojiko, And Mai.
Sanji kicked Absalom into the wall as he tried to hold out his hand. "What the hell is up with that kick? For my body with beastly strength to get sent flying..." Absalom thought before looking to Sanji. "Shisha no Te. (Dead Mans Hand.)" Absalom pulled up both of his hands, and aimed at Sanji who jumped up, and used his feet to direct blast up to the ceiling.
"What's going on? Did he just predict my moves?" Absalom thought as he looked on in shock. Suddenly a knife cuts the sleeves of his coat, and something fell to the ground on both sides of him. Small bazookas came in to sight as Absalom looked to his left, and saw Naruto with a outstretched arm. "I thought something was up.. I remember reading about the Suke Suke no Mi. (Clear-Clear Fruit.) And don't remember anything about attacks that send out blasts."
Before Absalom could talk Sanji kicked him in the shoulder. "You're the one who licked Robin-chan.. And peeped on Nami, and Nojiko-swan right?" He continued to attack Absalom with a series of kicks. (2.) "What's up with this strength? Is he really an underling?" Absalom thought before Sanji yelled out. "And why is Nami-swan unconscious?! You'd better not have been rough with her!"
With a final kick, Sanji sent Absalom in to the wall in front of the room. "Damn! I need to retreat Sukētingu. (Transparent Form.)" Absalom disappeared from their sight. "Where the hell is he? He better not try to grope us." Mai said looking around the room as Naruto wrapped an arm around Nami. "Usopps special salt balls." Sanji pulled out a handful of Usopps salt balls, and threw them around the room.
One hits something, and they heard coughing. Sanji kicked Absalom with a series of kicks having him go through a pew, and in to the wall. "Vō Shoto. (Veal Shot.)" Absalom grunted as the dust cleared from him. "No way! And they say there's no bounty on him." He thought as Sanji took a drag from his cigarette. "You're irritated? I'm so mad I could explodebecause of the anger!"
Fire suddenly surrounded him, and he glared at Absalom. "And unfortunately.. There is one more issue between you, and me." Blood dripped down Absaloms face as he sat up, and stared at Sanji. "What the hell are you talking about? We've never met before today." He said panting for a moment as Sanji took the cigarette out of his mouth and explained.
"The devil fruit encyclopedia that I read as a kid.. It sounded fake, and I wasn't interested in a lot of the fruits, but there was one that inspired me.." Naruto groan having figure out where Sanjis going. "Ohh don't tell me.." Nojiko narrowed her eyes as Sanji continued. "I get why he wants the fruit... But how do you know about a fruit that makes you invisible?"
Naruto started to sweat as both women stared at him. "We.. Well Jiraiya-tousan had me read up on the more dangerous fruits so I could defend my self." Nojiko crossed her arms, and glared harder. After a moment Naruto sighed, and held up his hands. "Ok, ok, he had me read up on it so I could find it.. Or kill the person who ate it."
"Kill them? Why?" Mai asked as Naruto leaned over, and whispered. "Because a fruit that's been eaten will come back after the person who ate it died." The girls eyes "I'm not telling him that." He finished before hearing Sanji yell out. "GIRLS BATH!" Turning back they saw Sanji still talking to Absalom.
"Ah no, I meant to ask myself.. GIRLS BATH!" Nojiko, and Mai face-palmed as Sanji kept saying girls bath periodically as he tried to say the good he would do with the Suke Suke no Mi. (Clear-Clear Fruit.). "No I would use it to better humani.. GIRLS BATH.." Naruto sighed as he looked to Sanji. "He's as bad as that lion guy." The fire surrounding Sanji seemed to grow with each passing second.
"Thanks to my year-long stimulation I know all that you can peep.. I mean do with your fruit." Sanji tightened his fists as he continued. "In addition to putting Nami-san in danger, and all that you did girls bath! I mean I'll end you life!" Absalom stood up, and stared at him for a moment. "Going around, and accusing me before knowing anything.. There's a limit to being.. UNREASONABLE YOU DAMN PERVERT!"
Sanji kicked Absalom in the face having him crash in to a pew. "Well there's the pot calling the kettle black." Naruto said before tensing up, and looked to the door. "What's wrong Naru-kun?" Mai asked as Naruto looked back to her. "No nothing.. I just thought I saw someone." Turning back to the fight, he saw Absalom stand up, and took off his coat.
"Oh my Kami." The girls said surprised at what was under his coat, or rather his skin. His body is stitched from what looks like various animal parts. Absalom's skin is that of an elephant, and his muscles are a mixture of bear and gorilla. "I understand now.. You anger, and accusations I'll crush them!" Absalom yelled out before going in to detail of how Dr. Hogback experimented on his body.
"The body he gave me is a masterpiece of wilderness." He would have said more if Sanji didn't interrupted him. "Still.. You peeped!" Sanji jumped up, and axe kicked Absalom in to the floor. "If an ordinary human kicked me.. They would've broke their legs. But he kicks me as if I had an ordinary body." Absalom thought staring up at Sanji before smirking.
"But I will be the one with the last laugh." He started to disappear from their sights again. Sanji looked around remembering what Usopp told him earlier about Absalom making Nami disappear with him. Naruto suddenly punched the air behind him, and Absalom was sent flying back through the pews, and into the wall creating an imprint or Absalom, and a dent in it.
"That fruit may hide your scents, and make you invisible.. But it doesn't make you silent, I heard your purring behind Nami-chan." He said as the dust cleared, and heard Absalom fall to the floor.
Luffy Vs. Moria.
The 'bats' all attacked, and bit Luffy who tried hitting them away. "Rest assured, they don't suck blood." Moria said with a chuckle as he glanced over to Luffy. "You beat me up? Don't be ridiculous." He finished as Luffy attacked the bats at once sending them to the wall, and floor leaving spots. "Get off of me!" The spots reformed in to Morias shadows leaving a bleeding Luffy to pant as he stared up at him.
"When an inexperienced rookie underestimates their opponent, nothing but embarrassment awaits them." Moria said closing his eyes as Luffy brought his arms back. "Gomu Gomu no.." Moria opened one eye, and grinned at Luffy. "Burikku Batto. (Brick Bats.)" Morias shadow turned in to bats again, and attacked Luffy. Moria yawned as Luffy tried to fend off the bats again.
"Gomu Gomu no.. Gatoringu. (Gum Gum Gatling.)" Luffy sent a series of punches at the bats, and sent them back in to the walls, but they reformed in to Moria again. "Damn." Luffy cursed putting his hat back on his head. He suddenly jumped off the platform. "Gomu Gomu no.." Moria got up, and stared at Luffy raising an eye-brow. "What the heck?"
Suddenly, Luffys foot came up through the floor, hits Moria in the chin, and pushed himm to the ceiling. "Sutampu. (Gum Gum Stamp.)" He fell down as debris fell on him. Moria got up and looked at Luffy with an angry look. "That hurt you gaki. (Brat.)" He yelled down as Luffy chuckled. "Can't touch you my ass."
Usopp Vs Perona.
Usopp continued to chase Perona down the hall as Bearsy chased him. Bearsy jumped at him having Usopp jump forward. Quickly turning around, Usopp threw a ball at Bearsy, who's shoulder instantly caught on fire. "Hissatsu Kaendama. (Ultimate Moltov.)" Bearsy ran in circles before rolling on the ground putting the fire out. "It worked! It worked!" Usopp cheered jumping up, and down.
Opening up a bottle, Usopp poured the content on the floor, and lit it on fire. "Ha! Now you can't stop me from getting that Horo-Horo (Hollow-Hollow.) girl." Usopp started walking looking down the halls he passed. "Now where is she?" He asked before hearing Perona laugh. "Horohorohoro. I'm over here." Turning to the window, Usopp shook his head as he walked over.
"There's no way.. We're too high up... AAHH!" He screamed seeing Perona floating with two of her ghosts beside her. "Why the hell are you floating? I thought you could only control ghosts?" He asked Perona who smirked at him. "Don't underestimate the 'Ghost Princess' baka. (Idiot.)" She finished with a laugh. "Ho.. How the hell are you floating in mid-air?" Usopp asked with a slight stutter.
"And now you're fearless.. A minute ago you were running around screaming your head off." He finished as Perona laughed. "Back there I was just a little confused." She started to explain as she remembered earlier when her ghosts didn't work. "I'll tell you one thing.." She finished before she, and her ghosts gave Usopp a thumbs up. "Great things will happen."
"Cut that out!" Usopp yelled before twirling Kabuto around. "So what if you can float? I'm a sniper! I'll hit you no matter if you're floating or dancing!" He yelled before going in to detal of how Kabuto worked. When he finished, he pulled the pouch back, and looked at Perona, only to find she was gone. "What? Where did she go?" He asked before hearing Perona laugh behind him.
"Behind you." Turning around, Usopp screamed seeing a giant Perona sitting behind him. "What in the world are you? He asked before quickly attacking. "Ageha Ryūsei. (Swallowtail Butterfly Meteor.)" Perona shrunk back to her normal size, and lets the attack hit the ceiling. He continued sending attack, after attack at her, but she floated around each one.
She suddenly flew down, and puts her hands through Usopps chest. "AAAHH!" Usopp started screaming as Perona smirked, and moved her hands closer to his heart. "I'm going to die!" Perona chuckled as she explained. "You know.. I'm going to crush your heart.. You're going to die." Usopp saw that her arms came together, and felt his heart stop.
"NOOO!" He fell back, as Perona smiled, and stuck her toungue out. "Just kidding.. If I could do that.. You would've died the moment I stuck my arms in your chest." She said and went on to explain how the Horo Horo no Mi. (Hollow Hollow Fruit.) gives her the ability to phase through objects while she was phasing through the floor.
Usopp sent multiple balls at her, only for them to phase through them, and fly to Usopp sending her legs through his chest, and right arm through his mouth as he tried to push her. "Didn't I tell you, you can't attack me?" Usopp started swatting at her with Kabuto causing her to fly up. After a moment, Usopp smirked, and pointed up at her
"If I can attack you that means you can't attack me!" Perona laughed before making a small ghost, and sending it to the wall beside Usopp. "Mini Horo. (Mini Hollow.)" Smiling, Perona snapped her fingers having the ghost explode leaving a small crater on the wall. "Gōsuto Rappu. (Ghost Rap.)" Usopp took a few steps away, as he sweated.
Another small ghost floated on his shoulder, and he tried to swat it away. "Gōsuto Rappu. (Ghost Rap.)" The ghost exploded sending Usopp to the floor. Usopp quickly got up, and ran away. "damn it! I can't attack her, but she can attack me tha.." He stopped as Perona phased through his back, and blinded his sight. "Hey get out of my.."
He stopped as he hits a support, and fell down. Suddenly a bunch of little ghost came over him. "Hey get off, get off!" Perona started snapping her fingers multiple times. "Gōsuto Rappu. (Ghost Rap.)" All of ther ghosts exploded leaving a bloody Usopp on the floor. Suddenly Bearsy walked over to them, and up to Usopp. "Watch out now. Bearsys arm is stronger than a real bears."
Bearsy started hitting Usopp repeatedly as Usopp thought back to earlier when he said he'll handle Perona. "I wasn't able to bear her.. Save me!" Suddenly, Usopp jumped up, moved Bearsys mask, and puts salt in his mouth. "Save me! SOGEKING! (Sniper King.)" Perona looked on in shock as the Usopp, now wearing his mask jumped off as the shadow came out of Bearsys mouth.
"Bearsy!" She screamed before looking to Usopp. "You! How dare you do that to Bearsy! And what's with that ridiculous mask?!" She asked as Uspp looked to her. "I'm not being ridiculous. Nice to meet you! My name is Sogeking. (Sniper King.)" He introduced himself as Perona gained a tic mark. "Are you messing with me?!" She asked as Usopp.. Ran away. "Now I run away!"
"So you escape?!" She chases after Usopp who was muttering to himself. Creating a bunch of small ghosts she sent them to Usopp, and had them explode. "Gōsuto Rappu. (Ghost Rap.)" Usopps mask came off in front of him as he fell to the floor. "Something must have happened when I lost sight of her.. Other wise why run in the begining?" He thought looking around the hall as Peronas giant form phased through the floor.
Spotting a room, his eyes widened before grabbing Kabuto, and aimed at the room. "Atlas Suisei. (Atlas Comet.)" Shooting a ball that split in to four, they hit the room, destroying it, reveiling an unconsious Perona sitting on a pink bed. "There.. Your real body!" The other Perona floated in front oof him as he explained that she was a ghost that was created while the real Perona was the one sitting on the bed.
"And here I thought you were just a negative baka. (Idiot.)" 'Perona' said with a smirk. "Did that mask guy give you confidence?" She asked as Usopp stood up. "But you're ninety percent right. I'm not a ghost being controled by the body.. But a horo. (Hollow.) of myself." Usopp stared at her for a moment before speaking. "And I bet I can attack your real body."
He aimed at her real body, and fire at her, but missed hitting near her left arm. "Ha! you missed, and it didn't explode. Usopp tried to atack again only for a big ghost came in front of him, and bit him leaving his legs to dangle. "Toku Horo. (Special Hollow.)" 'Perona' flew to her body as Usopp screamed, and a moment later her body opened her eyes, and smirked.
Luffy Vs. Moria.
Moria clenched his fists as he walked up to the hole Luffy made with his attack. "That hurt! I'll make you regret that Straw Hat!" He yelled down at Luffy who was holding on to a chain panting. "Shut up! I'll beat you over, and over again." Luffy replied with a smirk before stretching his left leg down. "Gomu Gomu no.. Sutampu. (Gum Gum Stamp.)"
Morias shadow deflected the attacked sending Luffys foot behind Moria before wrapping around Luffy. "Get off of me!" Luffy said struggling to get out. "Burikku Batto. (Brick Bats.)" The shadow transformed in to bats again. "Damn." Luffy cursed before going back up to the platform with Moria. interlocking his fingers, Luffy stretched them out, and sent them to the bats. "Gomu Gomu no.. Ami. (Gum Gum Net.)"
Wrapping his fingers around the bats, Luffy slammed them down on the floor, but they reformed back in to Moria. "Damn this is endless." He panted out as Moria smirked. Moria sat back down as Luffy stretched his arms back. "Gomu Gomu no.. Bazuka. (Gum Gum Bazooka.)" He brought his arms forward as Morias shadow took the attack, and pushed Luffy back.
"Gomu Gomu no.. Muchi. (Gum Gum Whip.)" Luffy tried to kick the shadow, but he grabbed the leg, and brought Luffy to him. Luffy tried to bite him, and pulled off a small part, but it went back in the shadows hand. "I thought you were going to beat me up over, and over again?" Moria taunted Luffy who glared at him. "Yeah I will just wait!" Luffy said getting out of the hand, and jumped down.
"Well you better hurry up, before he returns." Luffy looked at him confused. "Him? Who do you mean?" Mori smirked before looking at the hole in the wall. "You of course." He said as Luffys eyes widened.
Outside Oars.
Oars, coming back to the broken bridge looked around for something. "Where is it?" looking dow, he sw the piece of the bridge he used as a hat. "There it is." He said putting the bridge on. "Without this, I don't feel good." he said as he started walking. "I will be the Pirate King." looking around, he scratched his head. "I should sound a cannon for my journey.. That would be cool." He finished looking for a cannon.
As he was walking near the shore, he suddenly stopped. "Huh? What was I doing?" He asked before taking the bridge off, and dropped it. "Wait.. I was going to be the Pirate.. No." Suddenly, Moria appeared in his mind, and he stared walking back to the mansion.
Chopper, Robin, And Emiko.
"Orcho Fleur. (Eight Flowers.)" Eight arms grabbed Zoros zombie as he looked at them confused. He powered his way out, causing Robin to fall on the floor, and pant. "What ridiculous strength."She thought staring at the zombie. "Are you three going to keep fighting? You don't know when to give up." Hogback said as he, and Cindry looked on.
Chopper looked at the penguin for a second before he spoke up. "I'll beat you.. You shitty reindeer. Choppers eyes widened at that. "Sanji." The penguin dashed over, and kicked him. "Sanjūroku Pondo Hō. (36 Caliber Pheonix.)" A shockwave suddenly hit them, and the penguin, and Zoros zombie started bickering.
"Now would be a good time to attack." Emiko commented as Chopper dashed over, transformed in to his human form, and grabbed the zombie from behind. "Now Robin, the salt!" nodding, Robin made several arms to grab some salt out of the bag on Chopper, and moved to his mouth which was held open with two of her hands. Suddenly the penguin came up behind her. "Wait she's a woman!"
"So what!" The penguin kicks her sending her to the floor, and making the arms on Zoros zombie to disappear. The zombie suddenly bent forward, and slammed Chopper on the floor, forcing him to let go.
Usopp Vs. Perona.
"Kamikaze Rappu. (Kamikaze Rap.)" Snapping her fingers, Perona expected the ghost to explode, but it only disappeared. "What?" Looking to Usopp, she saw him holding a seashell with holes in it. "Impact Dial." Usopp said with a smirk before a shadow covered him. "Are you the one that purified Bearsy?" Looking back, Usopp saw a hippo zombie with a moustache, in a suit, and holding a shield in one hand, and a sword in the other.
Usopp quickly attacked with the dial hitting the hippo in the face. "NOO! Gentlemen Hippo!" Perona screamed, and tried to run over, only to find she couldn't move. Looking at her left arm, she saw there was a white substance gluing her to the headboard. "Ha! The attack was a lie." Usopp said picking up Kabuto. "I just glued you to the bed so you couldn't attack."
Picking up a big ball, Usopp attacked Perona. THe ball opened as it came at her, and dozens of cockroachs came out, and crawled over Perona "Gokiburi Boshi. (Cockroach Star.)" Perona screamed as she tried to get away. "Disgusting! Get them off me!" Looking over to Usopp she stopped seeing a giant hammer with '10t' on it.
"Did you know back in the East Blue I was considered the 'Strongest Man'?" Lifting up the hammer, Perona continued screaming, and begging. "No wait! I'll leave your crew alone! No Please!" Usopp brought the hammer down, and Perona passed out just as it hit.
POP!
The 'hammer' popped, and Usopp popped the handle also. "Fainting from a fake hammer, and fake cockroaches." picking one up, he showed Perona it was a toy. "Stay there until dawn." He finished before walking down the hall, picking up his mask as he passed it.
Zoro Vs. Ryuma.
Outside the top of the roof split opened, and fell to the ground as Zoro fell to a lower one. Ryuma with light blue/purple fire surrounding him walked to the edge as Franky, and Brook watched on. "I hope Thane's alright." Franky said looking to the hole Thane, and Tate went through. "That was a super scary person that came up, and attacked him. I could feel it"
Franky finished remembering Hidan bursting through the floor, and grabbing Thane. "To think.. Ryuma was holding back on me." Brook said looking up to Ryuma, before looking at the bruised form of Zoro.
(Flashback Earlier.)
"So.. You want to take Shusui away from me?" Ryuma asked Zoro who stood in front of him. "Well to be truthful.. I'll take the sword from your dead body." Ryuma chuckled at that. "You sure are high-spirited." He looked to Zoros right hip. "You seem to have three already." Zoro sighed before explaining. "Yes but one of them are broken.. I'll just get uncomfortable, so I keep it around my waist."
"You see.. I use Santoryu. (Three Sword Style.)" Ryuma raised an eyebrow at him. "Santroryu? Never heard of it. Is it a circus act?" he asked as Zoro smirked. "Same I can't show you yet, but I will when I break that non-existing nose of yours." He threatened pointing his swords at Ryuma. "I feel you.. You do seem highy skilled." Ryuma said after a moment.
"Strangly, a long forgotten sensation is coming once again." He started explaining. "A strange exciting feeling of facing a gigantic creature of some sort." Zoro suddenly dashed over, and attacked with both blades leaving Ryuma to block, creating a shockwave, and moved the stone on the floor out of place. "Ōbādo Kū Doroa. (Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike.)"
Ryuma thrusts his sword at Zoro who dodge, and a blast of compressed air went over to Franky, Thane, and brook making a hole through the wall. "Holy crap!" Thane exclaimed sidestepping a piece of the wall that fell down. "I sappouse it's a tie." Ryuma said to Zoro who smirked. "I guess." Suddenly a gash came over the wall behind Ryuma.
"Wow.. They seem evenly matched." Thane commented petting Tate who was shaking in his shirt. "What the hell? When did Harmaki. (Stomach Band.) Dude counter attack?" Franky asked as Brook who was still on his back answered. "Almost at the same time." Looking to Zoro, he continued. "That mans attacks fly also. This exchange of attacks was truly a tie."
"That Zombie's using my shadow.. But before his death he must have been a strength relying swordsman." Thane, and Franky looked at the damage made from the two attacks. "These two have the same amount of muscle strength." Brook finished as Franky looked confused. "What do you mean? They both are equall strong?"
Thane snorted at that. "No it means they both are weak.. Of course it means they are strong." Franky gained a tic mark at that. Zoro, and Ryuma dashed at each other cutting a piece of their clothes off as they passed. "Pureryūdo Ofueru. (Prelude To Iron.)" Ryuma started to attack Zoro repeatedly, as he blocked every one. "A weapon-breaking technique?" Zoro asked before attacking.
"Nitoryu: Hirameki. (Two Sword Style: Flash.)" He turned untill he was back-to-back with Ryuma. Quickly turning around, Zoro blocked another attack before jumping up in the air, and quickly came down. "Maguma. (Demon Bear.)" Zoro pushed Ryuma back in to the wall before jumping back, and dodged Ryumas counter-attack Ryuma suddenly lept at Zoro.
"Gabotto: Bonnaban. (Gavotte: Leap Forward)" Zoro quickly sheathed his swords. "Nitōryū Iai: Rashōmon. (Two Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Castle Gate)." Zoro dashed, and stopped just behind Ryuma. "No way.. That attack is strong enough to slice a train car in half.. How did Ryuma block it." Thane said before the walls collapsed from the attacks.
Suddenly, a hand came out of the floor, and grabbed Thanes leg. "What the hell?" Thane asked before Hidan came out. "Hello bitch." He said before attacking with his scythe. Thane jumped back, and attacked with his. Hidan jumped up in the air before tackling Thane through the wall in to another room. "Damn it. Hey you two the roof is collapsing!" Franky yelled as Tate ran through to Thane.
"Nanajūni Pondo Hō. (72 Caliber Pheonix.)" Zoro attacked Ryuma, who jumped forward, and attacked with several thrusts. "Poruka Rumīzu. (Polka Continuation.)" Zoro blocked the attacks sending them to the ceiling. Meanwile Franky made a hole where they all jumped out as the top part of the building dropped a little. Looking up, they saw Zoro, and Ryuma run to the top of the roof, and clash swords before sliding down.
"Watch out you'll fall!" Brook yelled as Zoro, and Ryuma ran across the roof. They continued attacking, and run up as they lost their footing. "Amazing.. With such bad footing also." Brook said in awe at the two. They suddenly stopped to catch their breath. "If this goes on for much longer my katana will break... The samurai's strength, and mental strength is the real deal." Zoro thought sheathing one of his swords.
Ryuma suddenly attack slicing the roof. When the dust cleared it showed Zoro using Wado to hold on above the attack. Zoro suddenly dashed to the top of the roof, and jumped in the air. "Ittoryu: Hiryū. (One Sword Style: Flying Dragon.)" A image of a dragon formed behind Zoro as he was falling down. Ryuma gripped his sword, jumped up after him. "Hanauta Sanchō: Yahazu Giri. (Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash)" Zoro gripped his left wrist, and brought his sword forward.
"Kaen. (Blaze.)" Zoro cuts Ryuma, who after a moment coughed blood, and was set ablaze in light blue/purple fire. "The wound ignited itself?" Ryuma asked as he landed on the floor of the room they were in, and Zoro, and the roof fell. "My defeat..." Ryuma said before walking to the ledge, and looked down at Zoro.
(Flashback End.)
"The named blade that once the legendary samurai carried... Shusui! If you are its next master, it'll most likely be the sword's will too." Ryuma sheathed Shusui, picked it up, and dropped it to Zoro who caught it. "This body of a samurai.. To have given it a defeat is shameful." Ryuma said faultering a little.
"As long as you feel shame it's alright.. A swordsman needs a healthy spirit, and body..." Zoro said sitting up, and resting Shusui on his shoulder. "I would have like to have met you in your era" Zoro finished as Brooks shadow came out of Ryumas mouth, and back to him. "My shadow's back." Brook exclaimed dancing, and posing. "Look.. It's the same as my body." He exclaimed as Franky raised an eye-brow.
"Well that's a given.. It's your shadow." He exclaimed as Brook stood, up, and got in his face. "You wouldn't understand my joy! It's like getting my other half back!" Franky wiped his face as Brook continued. "This joy, these feelings! They touch my body, and bones." Brook 'blinked' realizing something. "Although as a skeleton I have no body."
"After five years I finally have my shadow back!" Brook yelled as Ryuma fell down. "I'll take the katana but lets forget the fights outcome... Samurai of Wado Country." Zoro said with a smile as the last of Ryuma was burned to ash.
Chopper, Robin, And Emiko
Hogback laughed as Chopper, Robin, and Emiko was sitting down as Zoros and Sanjis zombies stood beside them. As they looked to the zombies, Hogback started explaining. "I'm afraid they may not have any memories of your friends left." He went on to explain how the shadows will lose their memories after a certain time has passed depending on the will of the original person.
"You've finally convince me.. You're truly an evil person!" Chopper yelled as he panted. "You've saved so many people in the past.. I looked up to you as a Doctor." Chopper continued as his eyes were shadowed by his hat. "Even your reasearch on zombies." clenching his fists he glared at Hogback. "You could have done so much to help people's hearts."
"You baka. (Idiot.) Why would someone go that far for others." Hogback said and went on to explain how tiring it was having people after people come to him for help, and he only did it for the money. "I had to save the lives the other, stupid, Doctors couldn't.. Do you see the horror of being a genius?" He asked Chopper who changed in to his hybrid form.
"I don't accept you as a doctor, and I don't accept these zombies.. They're already dead, and you're controlling them! How could you treat them like this?!" He asked as Hogback walked up to Cindry, kicked her, and ordered her to lick the floor. As she was doing that, he went on to explain that she was an actress when she was alive, and he fell in love with her after treating her.
And when he worked up the courage to ask for her hand in marriage she decline having already being engaged at the time. "Then I heard terrible news years later.. Cindry-chan had a terrible accident, and died." He finished looking at his hands. "Then I met him.. Mater Moria, who asked me to join." Looking back to Chopper, he laughed. "And I said I would accept if I could bring Cindry-chan."
"And that is the zombie Cindry-chan! And I'm happy, I'm sure she is also since she's living again as a human!" Chopper having enough growled. "How can you call that a human? Order her to stop now!" Hogback laughed again. "A human whose heart, and body that's been separated is not a human! You used a corpse that has to obey.. And created a monster!"
"And what do you know about 'life' Pirate-reindeer? Cindry-chan Kill them!" Chopper changed in to his human form, and dashed over as Cindry attack with her plates. Chopper grabbed ahold of her arms having her kick him readily. "Stop.." Chopper stopped after a strong kick, and making him let go of her left arm. Cindry attacked by slamming all her plate on his head, but Chopper still held on.
"You poor thing.. Your body's dead.. What would you family think?" Chopper asked as Cindry still struggled. "Even though the heart you were born with is dead.. Your body is forced to do the work of others." Chopper looked over to Hogback, and remembered Moria for a moment. "Oh come on.. This is what humans have dreamed of."
"That is not a human." Hogback looked to Emiko who yelled. "And how can you say you love her, AND TREAT HER LIKE SHE'S A SLAVE?" Chopper spoke up after her. "A human has more freedom then this!" Cindry, and the other zombies froze up. "Now Robiin!" Chopper yelled as obin stood up, created hands, and pushed some salt to Cindrys mouth.
Suddenly, the penguin attacked Chopper with a kick. "Chopper!" Robin yelled as her hands disappeared. "Santoryu: Hyakuhachi Pondo Hō. (Three Sword Style: 108 Caliber Pheonix.)" Zoros zombie attacked hitting everything, and having Robin, and Emiko dodge. "Dōse Furūru. (Twelve Flowers.)" A dozen arms sprouted, and wrapped around Zoros zombie, but he powered out.
"Hey!" Turning back, Zoros zombie saw the penguin with a red aura around him. "Why did you attack me?!" Zoros zombie crossed his swords. "You should just stay out of my way." They bother started attacking each other as Chopper, and the others watch with a sweat-drop. "Even if they don't remember, they still can't stand each other." Chopper said with a sigh.
"Hey sto..." Hogback tried to talk, but was silence with Robin creating arms to silence him. "Can't have you give any more orders right?" Robin asked with a smile. After a moment, she lets him go. "Now if you order us to jump out of the room.. we would do it." Robin looked back to the others, and winked. Laughing, Hogback pointed at them, and they moved. "Alright.. I order you to jump off the building!"
Both zombies started running towards the window. "No I didn't mean you!" Hogback yelled but both jumped out. "And we won't ither." Robin said as Hogback screamed in frustration. "Once Luffy deal with Moria, that will free the shadows.. But I want you Hogback!" Chopper said as Hogback screamed. "Cindry-chan buy me more time." He pleaded but Cindry didn't move, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Why aren't you responding? I can just give you a new shadow if you die." The others eyes widened at that. "My body won't move." She said sniffling a little as Hogbacks eyes widened. "C.. Cindry." Hogback exclaimed in shock staring at Cindry. "Hey Cindry-chan what are you talking about? Hey Cindry-chan!" Hogback continued to yell at Cindry but she wouldn't talk.
"My body.. It won't move." Cindry thought as her body tried to move but it wouldn't. "Tears began to fall on their own." She finished as Hogback spoke up. "Your body won't move?!" He asked flailing his arms. "What do you think you're doing? Stop with those fake tears already!" He yelled pointing at her. "Who was it that made you move, even though you didn't have a soul of your own?"
"To live to only follow your masters orders! That's the purpose of a zombie!" Suddenly Robin spoke up interrupting him. "It's almost like the original owners is fighting back." Chopper stared at Cindry, and continued for Robin. "Even afer ten years since her death, her will still remains een though her soul left the body." Suddenly, Cindry took a step forward.
"I.. Will kill them." She said as Hogback cheered, and Robin crossed her arms. "Dōse Furūru. (Twelve Flowers.)" Hogback started running with Chopper chasing, and catching him. "Now Robin!" Nodding, Robin created feet under Chopper, and continued untill Chopper, and Hogback were near the ceiling. "Wait! If I fall from this height.. Then the genius that everyone covets will be smashed."
Chopper scoffed at him. "What's in your head is worse than the zombies." He said before falling back with him. "Robi-Cho Sūpurekkusu. (Robi-Cho Suplex.)"
Luffy Vs. Moria.
Luffy panted as the shadow reformed after his last attack. "What happened to your high spirit Straw Hat?" Moria asked with a smirk as Luffy glared at him. "Shut up! You're not even fighting yourself!" Moria laughed before replying. "Kishishi! I told you I would be the Pirate King using the power of others." Luffy pointed at him, and yelled. "Until I get the shadows back I'll beat you as many times as it'll take!"
"All I have to do is beat you, and this guy." Luffy brought his fist back, but Morias shadow jumped on him. The shadow got up, and didn't see Luffy. "Gomu Gomu no.. Rocketto. (Gum Gum Rocket.)" Luffy fl;ew towards Moria but his shadow caught him, and slammed him on the floor. "I don't care what happens to you.." Moria said as Luffy looked up to him.
"But your future doesn't look bright. On top an even more fearsome opponent will appear." He finished with a yawn as Luffy growled. Suddenly everything shook, and two big red hands grabbed the edge of the hole. "Here he is." Moria said in glee at seeing Oars. "Now it's time Straw Hat!" Luffys eyes widened at Oars giant form.
"He's way bigger then a giant." Luffy said looking up at Oars. "Is that really my zombie?" He asked as Moria laughed. "Kishishishi! I've been waiting for you Oars!" Moria exclaimed holding his arms wide. "It looks like you shadow, and body finally synchronized. Have you become an obedient zombie? who is your master?" He asked as Oars spoke up.
"My master is... Moria-sama." Moria laughed again before giving Oars an order. "Alright.. Look at the bandage on your left arm." Doing that, Oars saw the S.H.C. bounty posters. "Find, and beat the S.H.C. untill they return to their ship. I would like it if they didn't die, but if they're worth their bounties then a beating shouldn't kill them."
Oars puts his arm down, and looked at Luffy. "Found Straw Hat." Moria dashed out in to the hall as Luffy jumped on the railing. "Hey wait a.." He stopped hearing Oars behind him. "Gomu Gomu no.. Kane. (Gum Gum Bell.)" He brought his head down, and burst through the wall, and into the room with Chopper, and the others are.
"Chopper! This way!" Robin yelled as Chopper jump over using his reindeer form. Walking over to the hole in te floor, he saw Cindry, and Hogback on the lower floor. "They fell through to the next room." Hogback started struggling, and ordering Cindry to get him out, but her body wouldn't move. Suddenly Naruto in his gates form burst through the door, panting, and bleeding.
"Damn he won't quit.. How in the hell am I supposed to beat him?" He asked before seeing Oars about to crush a smiling Cindry. "Shit." Dashing over, He picked up Cindry, jumped to the next floor, and set her down. "Were are you going?!" Looking back, he saw Kakuzu without a shirt showing that his entire body was covered with various stitches and predominantly appeared to be sewn together.
Everyone but Naruto who jumped out a window with Kakuzu ran outside. "Emiko, Robin, Chopper!" Looking to their right they saw Usopp at the railing. "Luffys zombie has.. Our wanted posters!" He yelled pointing to the posters on Oars arm. "Moria must've given him a order." Robin commented as thy walked over, and saw Sanji, Mai, and Nojiko on the ground.
"Is Luffy safe?" Chopper asked transforming in to his hybrid form. "Well.. He must not be dead.. Or else that zombie would be." Emiko stated looking at Oars with slight fear. "Come out.. STRAW HAT CREW!" Oars yelled out shaking th ground. Zoro who had Shusui with his other swords suddenly smirked. "Interesting."
Luffy.
"Get Back Here!" Luffy yelled at Moria who kept running down the hall. "Are you going to keep chasing me forever?" Moria asked as he looked back to Luffy. "I'll admit the big guy caught my interest.. But I need to beat you to get the shadows back!" He continued to chase after Moria down the hallway.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks' for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.
1.I couldn't find the moves Romanized name on the One Piece wiki.
2. Sanji quickly says a lot of his atatcks for moments like that, and thought saying series would be easier, and faster then pausing, and finding the moves.
Ok sorry about the late update, for those that didn't read the above A/N Just got stuck, and tried getting the chapter to 10k but it seems we're close to the end of the arc, and wanted to save some for the next chapter(s). Ok on to the poll. Yes, and add Boa: 59. Yes he should go only: 8, and No just send him to another island.: 5. Well I thought one of the yes option would win.
I was hoping for one of them to win because unless a fic started at Sabaody, Amazon Lily, Impell Down, or Marineford I haven't read many that had Naruto at any of those places.(Ones that had him before Sabaody haven't been updated.) Or they start after the two year training, and have Naruto join then. Also Any ideas for my O.C. Arc is greatly appreciated. I didn't think I would get this far so soon. We're still under a year from making this story.
Also Hidan will be a little O.O.C. just no fake religious, and I'll probably clean up his cussing, or censor some of them. Reason being is I'm just not comfortable writing both so I'll leave them out. Well Nothing more to say except keep voting.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.
