Chapter XL.
Last Time.
"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 flew 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 dosen't look bright. On top an even more fearsome opponet 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 syncronized. Have you become an obediant 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 have given him an 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 the 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 intrest.. But I need to beat you to get the shadows back!" He continued to chase after Moria down the hallway.
Now.
Naruto Vs. Kakuzu. (A/N: Even though the first part of this chapter takes place during last chapter until Oars comes along, I won't have the whole chapter in italic.)
Naruto, in his gates form crashed through the wall before black threads came after him. He jumped back, and Kakuzu without his coat ran inside. "Damn." Naruto cursed remembering what happened earlier.
(Flashback.)
Naruto stood up, and looked to where Absalom is. "Listen you son of.." He stoped as a black string wrapped around his arm, and pulled him up to the room above. "Naruto-kun!" The girls yelled as Kitchi whined. Naruto grunted as he was thrown up to the ceiling, before being thrown against the wall. Getting up, he saw Kakuzu with a black threads going to his arm.
"That's interesting." Naruto commented as Kakuzu smirked. "That's the Sutetchi Sutetchi no Mi. (Stitch-Stitch Fruit.)" (1.) He explained as more black threads came out of his body. "Think of it similar to Doflamigo's Ito Ito no Mi. (String-String Fruit.) except I can't control people." Kakuzu finished as Naruto stood up, and wiped his mouth.
"I remember hearing about two bounty hunters with one having the same power as you.. Are you that one?" He asked as Kakuzu nodded with a hidden smile. "Yes.. I am Kakuzu one of the Zonbi Konbi. (Zombie Combo.) bounty hunters" Naruto crossed his arms, and started to gather his energy. "You know... Out of the bounties the Sūpā Rūkī. (Super Rookies.) have you have the highest.. I can't wait to get my hands that money."
"Seimon. (Gate Of Life.)" Naruto dashed to Kakuzu, and kicks him in the head. "Konoha Daisenkō (Tree Leaf Great Flash.)" The black threads came up, and protected his head. "Sutetchi Sutetchi Shīrudo.(Stitch Stitch Shield.)" Naruto jumped back as more threads came to attack him. Naruto dashed forward, and punch Kakuzu only for Kakuzu to use his threads to jump up in the air, and used them to hold on to the ceiling.
Kazuzu brought up threads near his right hand, and formed a sword. "Sutetchi Sutetchi Ken. (Stitch-Stitch Sword.)" He attacked Naruto sending him through the wall before taking off his coat.
(Flashback End.)
Naruto panted as he opened another gate. "Shōmon (Gate Of Pain.)" Naruto dashed at him, and sent a couple of kicks at his head sending him back. Kukazu dashed forward, and shot his threads out piercing Naruto in various parts of his body. "Sutetchi Sutetchi No Hari. (Stitch-Stitch Needle.)" Naruto screamed before grabbing the threads, and spun around sending Kakuzu outside.
Kakuzu grunted before getting up, and saw a dead zombie body. "Sutetchi Sutetchi No Seikatsu Dorein. (Stitch Stirch Life Drain.)" The body dissolved in to the threads as Kakuzu healed a little. (Picture like in the Prototype game.) Naruto landed down, and was attacked by Kakuzu sending him inside.
"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. Naruto opened his sixth gate, and attacked Kakuzu with a series of kicks, sending him in the air just as Thane jumped down bleeding along with Hidan. "You son of a bitch!" Hadin cursed before bringing his scythe down. Naruto kicked Kakuzu on to Hidan, and dropped down beside Thane. They both ran to them, and attacked.
"Asa Kujaku. (Morning Peacock.)" Thane jumped up, and shot a wave of Aura to them. "Ōra. Nami. (Aura Wave.)" The attack left both of them unconscious. Naruto pantted as he looked to Thane. "Had a tough time?" He asked as Thane nodded. "Yeah... Teme. (Bastard.) Had a fruit that 'transformed' pain to the one who's blood he dranked."
(Flashback.)
Thane panted as Hidan with a skeleton look to him laughed as he stuck a spear a inch in his leg. Than fell on his knee as he suddenly felt pain on the same knee. "Hahahaha... I ate the Kōkan Kōkan no Mi. (Replace Replace Fruit.)" (It's my fruit but couldn't find/get Romanized name.. Any better name is appreciated.) "Damn.. There has to be a weakness." Thane thought before seeing Hidan make a circle on the ground.
THane dashed over, and attacked with his scyth, but quickly brought it back, and punched Hidan out before kicking him away where he saw Naruto jump up in the air.
(Flashback End.)
Naruto, and Thane panted as they saw Oars walk out of the mansion. "come out... STRAW HAT CREW!" Naruto started walking over to where Oars was, and Thane raised an eye-brow. "Wait... We can't fight in this condition." Naruto looked back, and smiled. "doesn't mean we can't help the ones who can." He replied before walking as Thane, and Tate followed.
Zoro, Brook, And Franky.
All three stood, or sat down in Zoros, and Brooks case, staring at Oars with Brooks jaw dropped farther than it should be able to go. "What is that?!" Brook yelled out frantically. "It has a scary face!" Franky scoffed before speaking up. "It's just like a monster." something suddenly caught Zoros eye, and he looked down. "Hey! Usopp!" Usopp looked around before looking up to the roof.
"Z.. Zoro?! Why are you on the roof!" Chopper looked up to them before his eyes widened. "Zoro? Franky? And Brooks also! They're all safe." Robin nodded before speaking up. "For the time being, it seems Mr. Skeleton is alright." They suddenly heard a voice scream up at them. "Hey! Can you pull us up?" They looked down, and saw Nojiko, as Mai was floating up. "Usopp nodded before throwing rope down from his bag.
"Grab on!" Nojiko grabbed on, and started climbing as Kitchi held on to her shoulders. Down with Sanji, he jumped up to ars. "Hey what are you doing Luffy?" He asked as Oars looked down at him. "Luffy? He's my enemy.. My name is Oars.. Pleased to me ya!" Sanji pulled a bent cigarette, and let it on fire. Taking a drag, he looke up as he blew the smoke out.
"Shut up.. And what do you mean 'pleased to meet ya? You're saying some strange stuff." AS he looked to Oars, up above Zoro scoffed. "He's supposed to save Nami.. That idiot cook." With the group on the ground, Robin crossed her arms. "I'd better help." Usopp grabbed her, and stopped her from attacking. "No.. We shouldn't voluntarily get involved.. It's better if we leave it to Sanji."
"He's got the most luck out of all of us in this situation." Robin looked to him before raising n eye-brow. "But he's on the wanted poster on that zombies arm.. He'll be found out sooner, or later." Usopp smirked before raising a finger. "You're so naïve Robin-kun.. Look closer at the wanted posters. Will it look like him?" Chopper looked to him smiling. "That's right.. Sanjis poster looks nothing like him." Oars looked at Sanjis poster for a second. "It's a perfect match." Sanji eye-brow twitched before yelling at him.
Absalom.
Absalom was leaning to the still knocked out Nami as a new priest zombie stood in front of him. Suddenly, Hildon flew in, and got in the way of the kiss. "What the hell you perverted beast?" Absalom covered his mouth as he looked up. "You're interrupting something... What do you want?" Hildon calmed down, and explained. "I'm looking for Moria-sama."
Absalom sighed before replying. "Well as you cn see.. He's not here." Hildon looked around before Absalom attacked him with his newly attached bazookas." Now.. WHO ARE YOU CALLING PERVERTED?!"
Luffy Vs. Moria.
"Wait Moria!" Luffy yelled as he chased after Moria down the hall. Moria smirked before laughing over his shoulder. "Teme. (Bastard.)" Luffy shot his arm forward but his attack was blocked by Morias shadow. Moria looked forward, and saw a dead-end. "Got you now giant shallot." Moria laughed before replying. "Isn't the one that needs to prepare himself you?"
"You're running around as you crew falls victim to your own fighting Straw Hat!" Luffy just glared at him before speaking up. "Shut up! My crew won't be beaten that easiky!" Moria just smirked at him. "I see! Then why don't you hurry up, and run to them before they perish!" Spots suddenly came out of his shadow, formed in to bats, and attacked Luffy. Moria ran away just as Luffy attacked the bats, and chased after Moria.
As they ran outside, a shadowed hand tapped Luffy on the shoulder. He looked back, and saw Morias shadow fly passed him.. "Damn it!" Luffy cursed as Hildon flew to Moria. "Moria-sama! It's terrible.. The zombie is tearing everything.." Moria glanced at him before replying. "Well you do something about it." Moria ran ahead as Luffy sped up, and kicks Hildon away. "Out of my way!"
Sanji Vs. Oars.
Sanji was dodging every strike from Oars making him glare. "You're one persistent, and annoying guy!" Oars yelled at Sanji throwing more punches. After a minute, Oars stopped to catch his breath as Sanji walked over to him. "You're such an idiot.. Now it's my turn." Oars cracked his knuckles as he smiled. "This time you won't get away."
Oars brought his left fist back. "Gomu Gomu no.. Kama. "Gum Gum Sickle.)" The S.H.C. looked on in shock as a dust cloud covered the two. Robin looked down in thought for a moment before speaking up. "Oars... Where have I heard that name before.. Could it be the 'Demon Oars' from the Kunihiki legends...?" Sanji dodged more punches before running just under Oars, and jumped up.
"Collier Frit. (Neck Fry.)" Oars blocked the kick sending Sanji down before hitting him in a building. Oars walked over, and grabbed Sanji before lifting him up. Oars was suddenly hit by one of Usopps fire balls. He glanced over, and saw Usopp looking in shock that he did that. "That burns." Oars said as Usopp repeatedly apologised. Oars looked to his arm, and saw Robins, Emikos, Nojikos, Choppers, and Kitchis poster, and dashed over.
Everyone screamed but Robin, who looked on wide-eyed. Franky shot at him with left hand. Oars leaned forward before jumping to the building, and kicking it causing it to fall. Zoro ran along his arm, and brought his swords up. "Ichi Gorilla. (One Gorilla.)" His right arm became more muscular. "Ni Gorilla. (Two Gorilla.)" His left arm followed suit.
He dashed over, and cuts Oars left bottom fang off. "Santoryu: Nigori-Zake. (Three Sword Style: Two Gorilla Slash.)" Oars leaned back, and kicked Zoro high in the air. "Gomu Gomu no... Kazan. (Gum Gum Volcano.)" Everyone looked up to Zoro as Usopp spoke up. "He was kicked so high.. He'll die from that height." Usopp yelled seeing Zoro fly high in the air.
Oars pulled his fist back, but was forced to dodge an attack from Franky. "Weponzu Refuto. (Weapons Left.)" Oars grabbed a tower from the mansion, and slammed it down on Franky, and Brook causing them to fall to the ground. Chopper looked up, and noticed Zoro coming back down. "Zoro's falling down this way!" Robin crossed her arms, and made a net that caught Zoro before he fell to the ground.
"Cien Fleur: Supaidā Netto. (Hundred Flower: Spider Net.)" Zoro panted before looking up. "Yo.. You saved me." Oars suddenly walked up holding a piece of a building. He raised it up, only for it to break in to pieces before Naruto, and Thane landed by the group. "Naruto-kun!" Naruto was grabbed by Mai, and Nojiko. "Easy girls.. I'm still sore from my fight."
Usopp sudenly shot three balls of salt in Oars mouth who froze. "Ha! Got ya!" Oars looked down before raising his fist. "Damn! He must require a lot of salt to purify him." Naruto said before he, Thane, and Chopper in his human form tried to block the punch. Only for all of them to be slammed to the ground under the bridge they were on.
As the dust cleared, it showed the downed S.H.C. with Usopp looking up to Oars. "Luffy... Why?" Oars looked down in confusion. "I don't know any of you.. I am Moria-samas servent Oars!" Oars replied before looking to his arm, and counted off the posters. "Let's see.. Only ones left is the straw hat one from earlier.. The orange haired girl.. And the hero." He left the others as he went to look for the other S.H.C.
Absalom, And Nami.
Nami woke up to see Absalom trying to kiss her. She leaned back, and dodged every one before hearing a voice. "Damn you Namizou!" Lola broke through the ceiling im-between Absalom, and Nami. "L.. Lola?" Nami asked before Lola turned to her, fire coming from her. "Namizou.. How.. Dare you do this to me! Was everything you told me a lie?!" She started attacking having Nami back up.
"Hey Lola how dare you!" Absalom yelled turning Lolas attention to him. "Ab-sama.. Do you know that Nami real name is Namizou, and she's really a man?!" Absalom looked on wide-eyed. "WHAT!" He yelled before Lola continued. "That's why it's impossible to get married." Absalom realled back before remembering when she, and Nojiko took a bath earlier.
Lola turned, and attacked Nami again. Nami not feeling any pain looked up to Lola. who whispered to her. "Now's your chance.. I'll stall him." She finished with a wink before turning, and trying to kiss Absalom having Nami run to the door. As she opened it, she heard a crash, turned around, and saw Absalom attack Lola. Nami pulled her staff out, and turned her attention to Absalom.
"So... You came to your senses, and found out it's futile to run from me." Nami glared at him before having the top part of her staff light up with electricity. "Sandā Chāji. (Thunder Charge.)" She detached the top, and started spinning it for a moment before charging. "That's right.. Jump in to my arms." Nami swung her staff, and attacked Absalom in the chest. "Suingu Āmu. (Swing Arm.)"
She looked up when Absalom just stood there. Suddenly he fell over unconscious. Nai stopped her attack, and poked him. "Huh... It didn't work well on the bridge.. I must have hit a weak point... I WON!" She ran to Lola, and kneeled down. "Lola.. Are you alright?" Lola weakly looked to her. "Thank you for coming to help me."
Lola chuckled at her. "What are you talking about Namizou? We're friends." She asked as Nami sighed, and explained. "I wasn't honest with you before.. I am a woman." Lola chuckled again. "I knew that." Lola replied before suddenly sitting up. "More importantly.. Is Ab-samas guard down?" She jumped up in the air, and landed on Absalom. "MERRY ME AB-SAMA!"
Nami smiled before looking to the alter, and seeing a drawer open. Wlking to it, she saw a stack of marriage certificates. "Huh.. Could use that for when we marry Naruto-kun.. I don't think we'll be able to do it in a church.. Being pirates, and all." She took a small stack, and walked out of the room. "Oh that's right.. The treasure rooms here." She said going to an.. Empty room.
"It's.. Gone?!" She asked/yelled before two squirlle zombies walked in. "Hey.. It's that woman." One said as the other nodded. "Yeah let's.." Nami grabbed them, and smiled sweetly at them. "I've got something to ask you."
Naruto, Thane, Nojiko, Mai, Emiko, Robin, Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, And Franky.
"Man what a monster.. Such speed, and agility." Franky said holding his stone nun-chucks as he, and the others slowly walked to where Oars went. "Yeah.. This will be a hell of a fight." Naruto said fixing his bandanna, and putting his trench knives on. "What was his name again?" Zoro asked as Chopper spoke up. "Let's see.."
"I'm sure it was Ross." Chopper shook his head as Thane spoke up. "No.." Everyone continued naming names until Robin spoke up. "Oars." Soon they saw Oars looking through a window, and Sanji spoke up. "Hey Oars!" Oars looked up, and saw them looking at him. "If that really is Luffys shadow in you... Then you shouldn't underestimate the strength of your nakama. (Friends.)"
Oars jumped down to them. "Persistan pirates aren't you?" Oars asked a they talked on how to beat him. Oars suddenly jumping in the air. "Gomu Gomu no..." He fell on his butt causing the S.H.C. to dodge. "Shiri mochi. (Gum Gum Full Butt Moon.)" Oars brought his hand down on Franky causing him to jump back. "Damn.. If this is how it'll be.." He dropped his nun-chucks, and dashed to Chopper, and Usopp.
"We'll need our best combined strength!" He looked to them before yelling out. " Guys! Lets do it... Tactics 15!" Chopper, and Usopp gaped at him before speaking at the same time. "Tactics 15?!" All three ran to Sanji, and Zoro. "Hey Swirly eye-brow.. Zoro support my legs!" Franky yelled before jumping on them as they held his legs, Usopp grabbing on his right arm, and forming a hook, and Chopper in his hybrid form jumped on his head.
"Big Em.." Franky was interrupted by Chopper who looked to his left harm. "The left arm hasn't docked yet!" Franky, Usopp, and Chopper screamed before turning to the others that just stared at them. "Hey.. One of you dock on." They shook their heads.. "No.. Not only no but hell no." Naruto said before Robin picked up. "That's an embarrassment as a human being."
"You can't dock?" Oars said looking sad at them. "Why are you down?" Zoro asked before Oars spoke up. "I wanted to see it." He replied before punching them having them 'un-dock'. Zoro puts two of his swords in one of Frankys nun-chucks, and dashed forward. "Usopp now!" Sanji yelled as Usopp shot oil balls on Oars right hand that supporting him causing him to slip. (2.)
"Zoro jumped on Sanjis leg as he kicked him up to Oars left arm, and hits it with the nun-chuck. "Now Robin." Robin created a pillar with her hands, and used it to bring the arm behind him. Franky, with Chopper created stairs up to his face, and both punched him in the jaw, dazing him. Sanji dashed to Oars, and kicked his right ankle causing him to fall on his head. Everyone walked in front of Oars as he glared at them.
Brook.
"It must be here." Brook said limping to the kitchen. He opened it up, ad saw everything was gone. "Looks like someone else cleaned up." Suddenly a milk bottle rolled out. "Is that.. MILK?!" He picked it up, and read the date. "It's still good!" He drank it, and started to glow." I can feel the energy returning to my organs.. Although as a skeleton I don't have any."
"Revived!" He yelled before falling to his knees. "All that yelling made my eyes hurt.. Although I don't have any.." He got up, nd looked around. "No time to waste.. I need to find it." He looked around, and saw a chained door. "That's not suspicious." Cutting the chain, he opened it showing bags of salt inside.
The Sunny.
A now freed Perona ordered her zombies as they loaded up the ship untill two saw an enormous man, carrying a Bible. His appearance resembles that of a bear. His eyes are covered by a pair of glasses or clear-mirrored lenses. His hat features a pair of rounded ears, and, along with the dark blue fabric of his pants, is covered in brown spots. His jacket has a large white design reminiscent of a target cross-hair.
There are also several white paw prints lining the bottom hem of his coat, and a long protruding chin. His hair and jacket are black, and his hat is gray with black paw-like prints. The covering of his Bible is colored purple. "Who are you? You're certainly not a bear!" The man walked to them eyes shadowed by his hat. "A bear you say.."
S.H.C. Vs. Oars.
Oars tried to move but couldn't. "My horns are in the ground.. I'm stuck." Everyone smirked, and started attacking him. "Get off!" Oars horns was loosened, and stood up, having everyone jump back. "Damn.. He sure has Luffys stubbornness." Naruto said as the girls nodded. "Yeah.. Too bad there's not a lot of salt that would purify him."
"There's only one way to beat him... Tactic 15!" Franky yelled as Usopp, and Chopper nodded. "Oh hell no I'm not going to be apart of you crappy tactic.. Got that memorized?" Thane asked as the three made the 'robot'. "If Robin or the others cooperated.. It would've worked." Robin, and the other women looked on in horror.
"No way in hell!" Nojiko, and Mai said together as Robin nodded. Sanji walked up, and defended the girls. "There's no way they would do anything that ridiculous!" His face suddenly got red. "Although.. I would like to see their..." He trailed off as the girls glared at him.. Killer intent coming off in waves. "Ki.. Kidding, I'm kidding."
Franky ran up to him. "Cook lend us your leg!" Sanji moved his leg so Franky could jump on it, and sent them up to Oars head where they started... Stomping on him. Oars having enough threw a punch when the three jumped off having him hit himself. Sanji started cheering. "Did you see that Robin-chan, Mai-chan, Nojiko-chan? My plan worked."
Usopp looked up to him, and raised his hand. "Hey.. I think I have a way to beat him." Usopp said gaining everyone's attention. "Remember earlier? He was disappointed when we didn't do the robot... He was acting like Luffy.. We could use that against him." After coming up with a plan, Usopp yelled out pointing in a random direction. "Hey Meat!"
As Oars was looking around, Franky, Thane, Zoro, and Naruto hits his knees forcing him to kneel. Franky laughed before speaking up. "Now all we have to do is wait for Staw Hat to get the shadows." Zoro looked ack to him before speaking up. "Why? We can just beat him now, and be done with it." Franky gaped at him. "What are you talking about? We just need to buy time for Straw Hat!"
"Both would be good." They turned to Naruto who was looking at Oars. "We'll help Luffy if we can keep Oars away from Moria.. Or give him his shadow back so he'll have more time to beat him, and not worry about the sun."
Nami, The Sunny.
"It's that Pirate Woman!" Perona turned, and sw Nami with her staff looking down. "And where do you think you're going with the treasure I'm stealing?" Nami asked as Perona smiled. "Did you finish your ceremony with Absalom?" Nami gained a tic mark before one of the zombies yelled as the tall man appeared behind Perona. "Perona-sama.. An enemy's behind you!"
Perona glared back, only to look on in shock, and fell. "He.. He's one of the Shicibukai. (Seven Warlords.) The 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma. His bounty was close to three hundred million berries." Everyone looked on in shock. "No.. No way." Nami whispered covering her mouth as Kuma looked down to Perona. "Are you Morias subordinate?" Perona shook her head denying everything before he spoke up again.
"If you were to travel.. Where would you go?" Perona thought for a moment before speaking up. "Somewhere dark, and damp.. Near an old castle engulfed in malice... Where I would sing cursed songs." She shook her head before standing up smiling. "Why am I scared.. There's no one I can't take down." She said, and was about to attack, only to see him reading his Bible.
"Are you listening?!" She yelled/asked before scoffing. "No matter.. I'm sure your shadow is strong.. I'll beat you and take you to Moria as a farewell gift." She said creating ghosts, and attacking Kuma. As the ghosts got close to him, Kuma removed a glove, and hits Perona making her disappear. Everyone looked on in shock as Kuma calmly puts his glove on.
"Where.. Where did she go?" Nami asked as Kuma suddenly appeared beside her on the wall as the zombies ran away. "You're the 'Cat Bugler' right? Is the rumor that Monkey D. Luffy having a brother true?" Nami quickly looked to him. "You mean Ace? Are you after Luffy? Naruto-kun? Are you reall.." She stopped as Kuma appeared on the deck.
"Whatever I want, it's my freedom to do so." He replied walking away as Nami stared on in shock. "I need to warn the others." She said before running to the Sunny.
Luffy Vs. Moria.
Luffy panted as he sat on top of Morias shadow. "Damn.. When did they switch?" He asked before the shadow flew away causing Luffy to curse. "Damn all tat wasted time.. I need to win before the sun rises.. Wait why do I need to?" He asked before remembering he'll die if the sun hits him. "Crap that's right.. The sun will kill us if we're out in it." He took off running in the direction that the shadow flew off in.
S.H.C.
Zoro walked up to Oars holding his swords. "I finally got my hands on the black blade.. Shusui. There's no way I'm not going to try it out on this monster" He said before yelling to Oars. "Hey Oars!" Oars looked down to Zoro as he continued. "Let's start.. I'll be your first opponent." Oars attacked having Zoro jump back, and slice the debris that followed him.
"Hey Zoro! It's too reckless going by yourself!" Usopp yelled before Zoro looked to his new sword. "It's a little heavier than I thought." Oars attacked him having Zoro deflect it. Zoro dashed, and attacked with all three swords. "Santoryu: Hyakuhachi Pund Ho. (Three Sword Style: 108 Caliber Phoenix.)" The projectiles that followed were bigger, and suddenly fused.
Oars dodged it having the attack hit the mansion. ""Well... That as new." Naruto said before Emiko spoke up. "I thought it was smaller than that." Zoro went back to attack before the ground shook casing them to stop. Naruto looked up, and his eyes widened. "Crap.. The mist is clearing!" Everyone looked up, and saw that the mist is clearing.
Moria In His Room.
"Well 'Tyrant' Kuma.. What can I do for you?" Moria asked as Kuma looked to him. "Where would you like to travel?" Moria frowned before walking to a balcony. "Don't do that.. I know your ability.. Are you here to fight me?" Kuma shook his head, and replied. "No.. Crocodile replacement has been named." Moria looked over his shoulder. "Yeah.. Who is it?"
"Marshell D. Teach.. Otherwise known as.. Blackbeard." Kuma went on to explain how Blackbeard defeated Ace, and was granted the spot. "What's his bounty?" Kuma crossed his arms before replying. "Zero." Moria sighed at that. "So... Unknown potential.." Moria chuckled before continuing. "Well It's great that the spot has been filled."
"Now the power balence of the world is stable a ever right?" He asked turning around. "Quite the opposite I think.. Ever since the Ennis Lobby incident.. The Government is keeping a close eye on the Straw Hat Crew.. When you travel from Water Seven to Fishman island using that log.. Chances of getting held up here is high."
"In short.. The Government is worried about anoter one of us.. Losing to them." Moria dashed over, and grabbed his shirt. "Do you know who I am.. What I'm doing by keeping them here?" Kuma remained calm as he spoke up. "I'll help if you need it." Moria glared at him before yelling. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?!"
"Worried about me losing to that small numbered inexperience pirate crew?!" Kuma glanced over to him. "There's never a hundred percent in fights.. Take Ennis Lobby for example." He said as Moria growed. "Even so.. Are you telling me the Government's so scared that they want two Shichibukai. (Seven Warlords.) fighting them?!" He asked as Kuma sighed.
"It's just an offer while reporting.. I wasn't ordered to or anything." Moria scoffed before pointing at him. "Then take a good look while reporting! And tell those idiots the following: The Straw Hat Crew that you were worried about was easily turned in to zombie soldiers of Gekko Moria!" He finished with a laugh.
S.H.C Vs. Oars A Few Minutes Later.
The blue stitched part of Oars opened up showing Moria in it." What the hell?" Naruto asked as Moria smiled down at them. "Cool I'm a giant robot." Oars said before Moria taunted them. "Beat me, and free all the shadows!" Zoro cursed before turning to Usopp." Go, and find a ton of salt." Nodding, Usopp ran to the mansion.
"Oars.. Stop him!" Oars nodded throwing a punch at Usopp, and hitting him, and the mansion. "Usopp!" Chopper screamed running over, as Oars pulled away. He looked around before hearing Brooks. "Yohohoho!" Brooks, with Usopp, and a bag of salt fell down. "I thought you would need a lot of salt so I brought some!" rook said with a laugh as Usopp panted.
"Brook You can move?" Franky asked as Brook nodded, and explained he found a bottle of milk while looking for salt. "Milk heals fractured bones don't you know?!" Usopp got up, and glared at him. "Calcium doesn't work like that!" Sanji took a drag from his cigarette before speaking up. "Well... The path to the kitchen is broken.. That bag is our last hope." Moria started laughing before speaking up. "Be grateful I've joined the front-line."
"And be careful.. I'm no ordinary pilot.. I'll be your worst nightmare!" Everyone tensed up as Brook spoke up. "I'll help out also." Nojiko got her staff out as Emiko got her painting supplies out. Everyone got ready as Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro ran ahead, and surrounded Oars. "Let's do it then! I'm glad I brought my anti-monster' bullets with me." Franky said loading the large bullets in his arm. Thane nodded, before bringing out his scythe.
"We could aim for Moria.. He'll mke Oars protect him giving us a clear shot at Oars mouth." Tate, and Kitch ran out-of-the-way as Usopp pulled shot a ball of oil to Oars. "Now Franky!" Franky nodded, and shot fire at the ball causing it to explode, and cover Oars who tried to put the fire out. "alm down Oars.. You can't feel pain." Moria said as Oars stopped, and looked to his arms.
"Just calmy put the fire out." Oars nodded before patting himself down. With Zoro, and Choper, they stood at a tower. "Now Zoro!" Nodding, Zoro dashed over, and was thrown up the tower, and cuts it down as he fell. Sanji quickly ran over, and kicked a piece over, and hits Oars. "Yeah Sanji!" Chopper cheered before Sanji kicked three more over. Oars was ready for them, and hits them back.
"Crap." Naruto cursed before cutting one in half with his knives, Thane doing the same. "Damn it! He now has a brain with Moria helping him.. He would've gotten hit with them otherwise." Thane commented as Usopp pulled a large band back. "Franky.. This is new.. It may not work.." Franky shrugged before getting on the band. "No matter.. Just get me to the stomach. Usopp let's go, and sends Franky up to Moria, and for him.
Oars dodged as Franky shot before kicking him down. "Oars.. Finish him." Oars nodded, and walked to Franky, Lifts up his leg, and.. Got hit with lightning. Everyone looked up to the bridge, and saw Nami, now wearing a black skirt, and a red shirt with Peronas Jolly Roger on it. Sanji started cheering loudly at her. "Nami-swan! You're safe!"
Nami tried to stop him, but stopped seeing Oars bring his fist back. He shot his fist forward, and his arm stretched. "Nami!" Everyone screamed until Nami was brought down by Robins hands." Thanks Robin..." Nami was cut off by Naruto, and Nojiko hugging her, as the others looked on in shock that Oars stretched. "How the hell did he stretch?" Emiko asked as Moria laughed.
He went on to explain he can use his shadow to control other, and by 'stretching' it Oars limbs can also. He demonstrated by making Oars shadow perfectly round, and Oars became a ball, and started rolling. "Run!" Ass Oars went a few feet, he stopped. "Stop interfering with my fight master." Oars said as Moria sighed. "Ok, Ok.. I'll just help you out."
Luffy.
Luffy stopped in front of a pirate crew who explained they've been there for three years, and found out they can capture shadows that has been purified, and put them in another body. A pink haired woman with big lips grabbed him as two pirates left to get a shadow. "You're our only hope.. We can only take two, or three before.. You can take more."
The pirates came back with one shadow, and forced it in Luffy, who fell on his back. After a moment, he sat up with dark rings around his eye. "Luffy?" One asked as Luffy nodded, and spoke in a gruff voice. "Yes." The woman walked up to him. "Do you know how to use a sword?" Luffy shook his head before replying. "No." oOne threw a sword at him, he caught it, and expertly cut a tree to pieces.
He looked to the sword in confusion. "How did I..?" The woman explained that the shadow belongs to a Marine Swordsman. "You can only hold a shadow for ten minutes before it expels, and goes back to its orignal owner... You're our only hope." Soon they forced more zombies in to him having him scream.
Later.
Luffy, now taller, muscular, and has blue skin breathed heavily. "On.. One hundred.. He took one hundred shadows." The woman nodded before giving Lufffy a large katana. "Go, and beat Moria!" Luffy nodded, before running off.
S.H.C Vs. Oars.
"So.. This is a 'First defeat Luffy's Zombie then Moria or no shadows returns' Situation?" Nami asked Usopp who nodded. "Yep." Nami gained a tic mark. before yelling. "Quite joking! It's almost dawn!" Usopp gained a toc mark also before turning back. "Shut up! It's what the enemy's planning!" Suddenly, Brooks bowed, and spoke up. "My apologies.." Everyone walked up to him as he continued. "A favor... I have a favour to ask of you..."
Usoppp got the band ready as Robin created arms that wrapped around him, and connected to her as Nami created a lightning cloud in front of them. "Ready?" Usopp asked as Brook nodded. He let go having Brook fly to Oars. Robin pulled her arms having him spin, and go through Namis cloud. "The acceleration was so fast that it made my bones show.. Although as a skeleton, they always show."
He hits Oars right shoulder, and went through it. "Alright Boney!" Zoro exclaimed running over, and attacking. "Nintoryu: Nigiri Torou. (Two Sword Style: Double Cutter Tower Climbing.)" shock waves went up Oars who reeled back before focusing his attention on Brook, who was in a wall. "Well... I guess I can take out the skeleton." He said lifting his leg up, and slammed it down.
"Gomu Gomu no... Ono. (Gum Gum Ax.)" Everyone looked on wide-eyed as Brook fell to the ground knocked out. "Hisatsu Atlas Suisei. (Ultimate Atlas Comet.)" Usopp shot four balls at Oars who used his right arm to block. "No affect!" he taunted before bringing his arms back. "Gomu Gomu no... Bazuka. (Gum Gum Bazooka.)" He threw his arms but they didn't stretch. "Huh? Why didn't his arms stretch?" Mai asked as Robin crossed her arms.
"Orchenta Flure: Quanto Mano. (Eighty Flowers: Four Arms.)" Everyone looked to see Robin make four big arms out of little ones, and puts Moria in a choke hold. "Alright Robin!" Moria smiled before he sent bats from his shadow at her. "Burikku Batto. (Brick Bat.)" Robin screamed as one bat bit her. Naruto dashed over, and attacked the bat with his knives sending them flying.
Suddenly, Morias shadow came up, and hits Naruto away in to a wall as Robin used her 'arms' to pull Morias ead back until.
CRACK!
"Robin look out! The shadow's still behind you!" Robin turned around, and saw Moria replacing his shadow. "Kishishi... One ability I have is switching places with my shadow." Looking back, the S.H.C saw Morias shadow in his place. Moria grabbed Robins shadow, his scissors, and leaned down. Naruto groaned sitting up, and saw Moria remove Robins shadow.
Killing intent flooded the area as Naruto got up with a fox behind him. He dashed to Moria, only to hit his shadow who switched places with him. "Usopp get Robin out-of-the-way!" Zoro ordered as the others got ready to attack. Oars jumped up, pulls his arms back, and attacked as Naruto jumped up, and hits his hands deflecting the attack.
"HEY GUYS!" Looking up, everyone saw Chopper in his human form on Oars shoulder. "Chopper, what are you doing up there?!" Chopper went on to explain that he's looking for the cause of Oars passing which was severe frostbite, and his entire right arm is fake. "Most likely because.. He wasn't wearing anything!" Narutos eye-brow twitched as he head that. "I didn't need to know that!"
"Why are you talking on my shoulder?" Chooper looked to his left, and saw Oars bringing his fist down. "Chopper!" Everyone yelled before seeing Chopper, in his hybrid form inside Oars clenched fist. He ate a Rumble Ball, and jumped out in his reindeer form with muscular arms. Sanji, Thane, and Naruto dashed up, and helped him attack Oars right arm leaving a hoof print, cut, and a hand print.
"I don't fell pain." Oars said jumping up in the air having the three fall off. "Gomu Gomu no...Gataringu. (Gum Gum Gatling.)" He hits them with a barrage of punches sending them down unconscious. "Three more down." Oars said before directing his attention to Nami, Nojiko, Mai, Emiko, Usopp, and Zoro. "Six more to go."
Moria laughed as he looked to the seven unconscious pirates. "Usopp." Usopp turned his attention to Zoro. "I'll create a distraction.. Then do your job!" Zoro dashed over, and jumped up in the air to attack as Oars brought his head forward to block. Zoro was sent flying to the wall, and jumped down as Oars attacked again. Zoro kept jumping back as Oars continued attacking him untill he looked to Usopp who had the salt in his band.
"Hey Monster.. I'll end this now." Oars jumped up, and brought his fist down as Zoros arms became muscular, and deflected the attack before spinning up the arm cutting it. Oars jumped up, disappeared, and kneed Zoro in to the wall, knocking him out. "Hey Oars!" Oars turned around, only to swallow the salt. Usopp cheered as Nami looked confused. "Salt? What's that going to do?"
Nojiko explained that salt would drive the shadow out of a zombie, and a shadow started coming out of Oars mouth only for the bag to come up in Morias shadow. "Kishishi.. Did you think I wouldn't protect his only weakness?" Moria asked before having his shadow throw the salt to Usopp having the salt spill on the ground. "No, no, no!" Usopp yelled trying to put the salt back in the bag before Oars attacked them knocking eveyone but Nami out as he continued to stomp on Usopp.
Oars jumped over on Nami kicking up dust untill they heard a voice. "Hey big guy... Who do you think you're trying to smash?" Oars turned around, and saw Luffy in his shadow form, holding Usopp, and Nami. Luffy pyts them down as they explained what happened since they split up, and turned to Oars. Oars brought his arm back, twisted it, and brought forward to Luffy who caught it.
Luffy jumped up, and hits Oars out to the forest as a bunch of pirates ran over, and helped the crew out before they saw Oars spinning around before being thrown. Luffy blocked another attck before jumping up, and punching Moria. "Gomu Gomu no.. Pistoru. (Gum Gum Pistol.)" Oars reeled back before lifting his leg up. "(Gomu Gomu no.." Luffy inhaled air, and twisted his body.
"Ono. (Gum Gum Ax.)" Luffy knocks the leg away before hitting his stomach with a barrage of punches. "Gomu Gomu no... Sutōmu. (Gum Gum Storm.) He sent Oars, and Moria flying to the mansion unconscious, and fell down near the other, the shadow leaving his body turning him to Normal. "He did it! He defeated Moria, and Oars! Thriller Bark is defeadted!" One of the pirate crew yelled seeing the prone forms of Moria, and Oars.
Nami, and Usopp was trying to wake Luffy as the other pirates talked on how to get Moria to return the shadows untill they heard a noise. Turning around, their eyes widened as they saw Oars standing. "That didn't hurt at all." The others screamed before one yelled up. "You can't beat a zombie with just brute force!"
"I don't know what happened to Luffy..." Everyone turned, and saw Zoro, Thane, and Naruto standing. "But he did more than enough." Everyone looked on in hock before noticing all the S.H.C were gone. Luffy got to his knees before looking up. "Damn I'm exhausted... Just one more attack." Thane glowed before jumping over, and placing a hand on Luffy. "Thanks Thane." Thane smirked as Luffy got up, and looked to Oars.
"We're with you Luffy." Everyone turned, and saw the entire S.H.c along with Brook standing up. Luffy glanced to Robin before looking up. "Robin.. I need a lift up." Robin nodded, and created hands going up to the mast. Luffy jumped up, as Nami created a rain cloud to soak Oars. Franky threw a giant hose to Oars, and froze him from the waist down.
Sanji, and Chopper on the anchor smiled as they looked down. "Our turn." Sanji jumped to the chain, and wrapped it around Oars straighting him out as Chopper spoke to himself. "A human spine is 'S' shape to better absorbe blows to the shoulder.. straighten it out there is no absorbing them." He looked to Zoro who stared spinning his two swords, and yelled out. "Attack his stomach Zoro!"
Zoro dashed over, and sliched his stomach. "Santōryū Ōgi: Sanzen Sekai. (Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds.)" Luffy jumped down, and went in to his Third Gear with his arms. "Gomu Gomu no Giganto Bazūka. (Gum Gum Giant Bazooka.)" He hits Oars in his head breaking his spine. "Huh? I don't feel anything.. But I can't move."
Everyone cheered untill they heard a voice. "Kishishishi.. Did you think it would be that easy?" Turning to Oars, they saw Moria stand up, and started at them as the sun started to rise. "I guess that's how you got that power Straw Hat.. Using the forest losers to use my power against me." He said before black tendril shot out of him, and covered the ground. "Shadows.. Come, and give me your power... Shadōzu Asugarudo. (Shadow Asgaurd.)"
Morias appearance started to grew and he walked on all fours. "You took a hundred shadow.. Lets see what happens when I take in... One Thousand!" Moria finished his voice changing to sound like multiple. Everyone but the S.H.C, and the [ink haired woman ran in to the shadow as the sun started peaking over the walls.
Luffy crouched down, and went in to his second gear form, and looked to Moria who was taunting him. "You're just a stake that needs to be hammered down." Luffy scoffed before replying. "I may be... But... I won't be hammered down by anyone... Because I'm a rubber man!" He yelled before hitting Moria repeatedly forcing some shadows out of his mouth. Luffy jumped back before going in to his third gear form, and focused on his stomach.
Luffy shot forward, and hits his stomach forcing Moria to cover his mouth. Luffy went again forcing Moria to hit the mast, break it, and have it fall on him. As the dust cleared, everyone heard Moria speak up. Straw Hat Luffy... Continue your journey to the New World... That's where the real nightmare is." As he finished all the shadows came out of his mouth just as the sun rose.
"Robin! Mai!" Naruto turned around to see the ones who had their shadow taken suddenly were set on fire. "Damn!" He curse before getting in front of them, hit the ground, and forced a slab to protected them. "You alright?" He asked as the fire died down, and they returned to normal. Mai walked to him, and smiled. "Yes Naruto-kun."
Soon, Everyone's shadow were restored, and the other pirates came over, and bowed. "Is there anything we can do to thanks you... Maybe help out with Morias treasure?" Nami shook her head before she stiffened. Naruto walked over, and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Nami-chan... Anything werong?" Nami turned to him, and spoke up. "There's another... " She was interrupted by another voice.
"Eliminate them." Everyone turned, and saw Kuma on the mast standing up. Narutos eyes widened seeing him. "K.. Kuma!" He said as Nami, and the pink-haired woman explained he was a Shicibukai. (Seven Warlords.) Naruto walked forward before speaking up. "I'll take care of him... You all should get back to the Sunny." Everyone looked on in shock as Kuma removed his gloves.
"Naruto-kun no! You're in no condition to fight!" Nojiko yelled before Nami spoke up. "He has an ability to make people disappear by touching them." Kuma teleported in the group of the other pirates who readied their weapons. "Get Him!" One yelled as kuma hits him with the palm of his hand making paw prints on him, and three others behind him having them fly in to a piece of rubble unconscious.
He teleported behind Naruto, who glanced back, and turn to face Kuma calmly. "'Maelstrom' Uzumaki Naruto... Should I start with you?" Kuma asked calmly as Naruto tensed up. Naruto just glared up at him as he got ready. "Bring it."
