The Fire Dragon In Strawhat Crew
Chapter 11's
Zoro vs Hachi.
"I'll beat you up quickly octopus." Zoro said as he ran towards Hachi.
Hachi fired more ink at Zoro. Zoro dodged, he approached Hachi and swung his sword at him. Hachi ducked under the sword cutting off part of his hair. "Oohhhhhhhhhhh...You bastard, you cut my hair!" Hachi cried while holding his head.
"Oh well, it's just hair. It'll grow back." Hachi said calmly.
"Now Zoro, you can't beat me, I have six hands that will amaze you." He said while waving his hand.
"SILENCE!" Zoro said annoyed and attacked Hachi.
"Hachi. Triple. Swords. Capture it. Nowow. Ye. Would. Looky. My skills.." Hachi said as he put his hands together as Zoro lowered his sword but missed.
"OWW! It hurts so much." Hachi said as a hint of blood flowed down his face.
"I don't have time for this shit." Said Zoro panting, and slightly sweating.
Sanji vs Kuroobi.
Sanji turned to Zoro. "Is he still hurt?" He thought while looking at Zoro panting, and sweating.
"Lose focus, and you'll lose your life." Kuroobi tried to hit the back of Sanji's head. Sanji dodged at the last second.
"I'm sure you'll taste good with a little butter." Sanji said throwing a few kicks at Kuroobi just to deter everyone.
Zoro vs Hachi.
"Damn not now." Zoro said weakly,
"I don't have time anymore." He attacked Hachi.
"Why don't you just die!" zoro shouted trying to slice Hachi. Hachi dodged it by jumping and grabbing one of the pillars with a suction cup in his hand.
"Daradly so...I'm stuck." Hachi scoffed from above the pillar... Inverted. Zoro looked up for a moment.
"..."
"Don't just get hung up there, get down here and fight!" He shouted at Hachi. Hachi just smiled, though,
"Bas a coward." Said Zoro gasping.
Natsu And The Others.
"What's wrong with Zoro?" Natsu asked. "He doesn't look good." Yosaku saw Natsu from his place on the ground.
"Well...Right before we came here he was fighting Mihawk." He told Natsu with wide eyes.
"Dracule 'Hawk eyes' Mihawk the strongest swordsman in the world?" She asked. Yousaku, and Johnny nodded their heads.
"Yes, that was when we were Baratie right before we came here." Johnny continued. "He hit Zoro with a small knife he kept around his neck, broke his two swords with one move, and cut his chest too severely. I'm surprised Zoro is still standing." Johnny finished it with worry.
"Wow." Natsu whistling.
"I'm impressed he even survived a fight against someone of his caliber." Natsu said with a newfound respect for Zoro.
"Hey Natsu?" Genzo asked, though,
"Yes." Yeah." Natsu answered while looking at Genzo.
"Why don't you intervene to fight Arlong and the others? We saw how you fought against Chu." He asked as he pointed at the fallen Chu, his eyes twisting backwards and blood spilling out from his mouth, and his nose.
"And you pretty much crippled Arlong with one punch." He then pointed to Arlong who was now sitting with one hand still holding his stomach.
"Because." Natsu said as he pointed at Luffy. "I promised Luffy."
(Flashback)
Right after Nami ran away:
"Hey Luffy?" Natsu asked as he looked at Luffy who was sitting under a palm tree with his arms behind his head.
"Yes." Yeah." Luffy replied. Natsu sighed, though,
"This Arlong has to go down, I can't stand people like him." Luffy looked down at his hat shadowing his eyes.
"I know." He said seriously. "But Nami needs my help." Luffy continued, though,
"I can't help him if he doesn't want to." Natsu looked up at the sky.
"Well..I had a feeling he'd ask you for help soon, and when he did, I wanted to get in." Luffy looked back at Natsu.
"No." He said clearly.
"No?" ask Natsu. Luffy continued, though,
"He wants us, we have to fight." Natsu smiled, "Okay, but I still want to come along.. Just for insurance." Luffy smiled, though,
"Okay, it's okay with me."
(Flashback End)
"Luffy wants to fight Arlong because Nami is his crewmate, and nakama." Natsu done.
"As I said before, I've only heard of it as a security precaution."
Zoro vs Hachi.
"Hey Zoro, I have a question I want to ask you." He said to Zoro curiously, "You are known to use santoryu (Style of three swords) where are your other two swords?" He asked confused.
"Because your run is scared of one, why do I need three." Zoro said,
"Ha! I just played with you." Hachi said with a smile.
"Man can't beat me. I can tell you why. But... It would be nice to show you." He finish.
"Damn." Zoro thought, "I can't bear the pain." His vision became blurred. "And my fever is getting worse." He finished swaying a little. Everyone looked in wonder.
"Damn, I think so too." Sanji said as he looked towards Zoro.
"You're still recovering from your fight with Hawk's eyes." Johnny and Yosaku looked on anxiously. "Zoro-aniki!" They both scream. Natsu stood leaning against the wall while thinking.
"Ha! I'm not interested in that trick." Hachi Exclamation.
"I wasn't born yesterday. I'll be right back, it's time you saw my true abilities.” Hachi said as he climbed up to the undamaged part of the roof and went inside the window. He came out with a sword in each of his six hands. Zoro just fainted.
"Hey, you shouldn't have died, I haven't even killed you yet." Hachi shouted at Zoro.
"No Zoro-aniki!" Johnny shouting.
"I know he's been pretending all along." Yosaku exclaimed,
"What he had just experienced would kill any normal man." He continued,
"But he kept walking." he said, the doctor looked at them. "What did you say?" He asks/shouts.
Natsu was about to fire but a hand held his wrist. He looked down and saw Luffy now sitting while holding onto him.
"Wait." He said calmly, "Zoro won't forgive us if we interrupt his fight." He continued,
"I know he can win this even with that injury, he just needs to catch his breath." He looked towards Natsu.
"I know Sanji can win the fight as well."
Sanji vs Kuroobi.
"Dam." Sanji.
"I know there's something weird about him walking around like there's nothing wrong after a brutal fight, he's laid down.." That was all he got when he felt something. He turned only for Kuroobi's fist to hit his stomach. Sanji is sent flying through the walls of the Arlong garden and landing.
"I told you to pay attention." He said arms outstretched.
"I don the 40th in a fish-man karate."
"Sign!" Johnny and yosaku yelled to see Sanji lying quietly in the street.
"They're looking after Arlong." Kuroobi said to Arlong,
"aww..That all?" Hachi said sadly,
"They managed to make a little mess." Kuroobi said he saw the damage done to Arlong Park.
"No problem, as long as the Arlong park still stands it's okay." Arlong said,
"Right, what do you want to do with Zoro, and everyone else?" He asked, 'em,
"Throw them into the sea, where they are rather entertaining." Arlong replied,
"It's not fair." exclaimed Hachi while raising his sword. "He can't die." He continued, "I didn't get a chance to defeat him and take his fame for myself, well it's not like humans can beat the more wild rokutoryu." Hachi moved his sword to and fro creating a small tornado. "Look at the power that only a rokutoryo master can wield." He continued,
"Hachi be calm" Kuroobi said.
"You're going to destroy Arlong's garden." Hachi stopped and looked thinking.
"Oh yeah." He said timidly, "I forgot I could destroy things." He looked around for a moment. "Hey, where's Chu?" She asked. Then he saw her near the gate unconscious.
"Hey, who hit him?" He asked the villagers. Natsu raised his hand,
"It." He replied, "He threatens innocent people who won't fight back, I won't stand by and let him get away with it."
"How did some humans defeat Chu?" Kuroobi sneered.
Natsu shrugged, "I'm strong." He said simply. Kuroobi and Hachi glared at Natsu. Kuroobi grinned,
"You know, when I beat you, I'll get your fame." Kuroobi said to go towards Natsu. Natsu just stood there with his arms crossed. Kuroobi tries to attack Natsu with the same attack he just used on Sanji. Natsu just grabbed his fist with a hard SMACK!. Natsu stood up completely unharmed, holding onto Kuroobi's fist as if it was nothing. Natsu looked at Kuroobi with a calm gaze then clenched his fists... Strenuous. Kuroobi fell to his knees with an expression of pain.
"I said I wouldn't fight you." Natsu said calmly,
"I promise, and I don't renege on my promise." Natsu leaned over and whispered in Kuroobi's ear,
"You're nothing compared to Jimbei" Natsu said. Kuroobi's eyes widened.
"That's right, I know Jimbei, I even enjoyed fighting him not long ago." He continued,
"You're not even good enough to be a beginner, let alone be called a master." Natsu done.
"Now go back, and wait for your opponent to catch his breath and fight him." Said Natsu pushing Kuroobi into place before rushing over.
