Chapter 19

Itachi and Kisame arrived in Rainbase, they had taken their time to get there. There were never the type to walk fast.

They spotted a few members of the Baroque Works Organization but they didn't seem to bother with them, as there were currently eyeing for the Straw Hat pirates.

"That stretchy guy seems to have made quite a fool out of the Warlord, to the point he would have all his men laying in town waiting for him." The blue skinned man mummers sarcastically.

Itachi who was walking next to him just hides his smile in his clothes. He would expect that much from someone with that level of brains and the truth is all pirates are attention seekers in their own way.

"It doesn't look like Crocodile is planning to do anything in this city." He paused his words, and his black eyes scanned the area. The place would be a waste if it is destroyed, it was far too beautiful.

"The capital seems to be his main go, a lot of people would be gathering there."

"Mass murder, huh?... I like the sound of that."

As soon as Kisame's words faded, the Staw Hat pirates and Vivi noticed them. Zoro who was laying on a small building wall was the first,

"Hey, look, aren't those the guys Luffy's brother told us about."

Looking at the pale blue skinned man with three gills on each of his cheek, and a giant scaled sword that was bandaged, Zoro was really curious about the person skills.

"It is them alright." Sanji on the other hand looked at the man under the umbrella with eyes filled with envy. He got both the looks and the x-ray vision Devil fruit.

He didn't have time to ponder much about them, as their captain and sniper came from the opposite directions with the Marines behind his back.

"Yikes! The Navy is on their tail!"

"What!?" Nami exclaimed in shock as she hold both her hands in shock, "They are leading them right at us!!"

Hearing the commotion behind them, the two former Akatsuki members turned their head, and the smile on Kisame's face deepened when he saw his fated enemy.

"We meet again White Hunter... It seems like you are fated to die by my hands."

Smoker is a great tool to increase his chakra with and all the fighting he has been doing is also helping. Basically he had seen the Marine Captain as a worthy opponent.

The Straw Hats ran past the two and Kisame stayed behind, as Itachi continued to walk. Smoker was frustrated when he saw who was blocking his way.

"You again! It seems you are indeed connected to Straw Hat!"

"Again, think whatever you want. A dying man doesn't need to know anyway."

The White Hunter bite on his cigars, Kisame was really a formidable opponent for him. He didn't want the same thing that happened in Logue Town to repeat itself, he wasn't going to let the Straw Hat get away again.

"White Vine!!!"

The Marine Captain turned into a spiral smoke and shot throw the sky, which Kisame look at him in puzzlement, but only for a second.

"Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Justu!!!"

Unlike the last time, Kisame was ridding inside hurtling shark, which made the White Hunter confirm that he really ate the Mizu Mizu no Mi which turns his body into water.

On the ground two other fated enemies had met, and the third was coming from a distance.

"Roronoa Zoro!!" Tashigi shouted as she walked up front with her eye glasses on her forehead.

"SGT. Tashigi." 

Marine A1 who was holding his sword, said in a startled manner, but she didn't give him at time of the day as her black eyes locked on the green haired man before her.

"So we meet again!!"

"Klak..." Zoro was greatly startled and was sweating buckets. He would never dare raise his sword against that face.

With his right hand up front he pleaded, "I have got no beef with you!! Our business here is finished!!"

The moment Zoro's words faded, Itachi walked in between carrying his in different look. Tashigi was even more furious by seeing this face.

"Itachi Uchiha!!"

The master of three swords quickly turned around and started to run, "That was a close call!! I can't fight her!!"

The lady Sergeant didn't know what to do, Itachi was someone above her league but she couldn't let him go either, and the other Marines were in a state of panic, as his Devil fruit ability was unknown to them.

Let they were a group of ants, Itachi walked away and they started chasing after the run away Zoro. The Uchiha couldn't possibly worst chakra on small fries.

Just like what he told Ace a few days ago he needs to be in his best condition against a strong for.

Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp had regrouped and were running straight for the Rain Dinners which was a grand building with a crocodile on top, telling the name of its owner.

Chasing after them was Captain Smoker who seemed to have no luck getting away from Kisame who was at his tail.

"Here we come Crocodile!!!"

....

At the lower basement of Rain Dinner's

"Vivi and the pirates are here?" Crocodile asked with a smirk on his face.

Robin who was wearing a white wild west sunhat and a matching long coat replied with a smile, "Yes. I just got word from the Millions."

"Hahahahaha! Go greet those fools!!"

"Yes, Sir."
