6 6. Strawhat pirates Vs The Black Cat Pirates

While Ethan was training Luffy and Usopp were listening to Klahadore and Jango talk about their plans. When jngo and Klahadore see Luffy, Jango tries to hypnotize Luffy and Luffy after falling asleep falls down from the cliff. Thinking that Luffy has died, Klahadore and Jango leave him.

Nami and Zoro are looking for Luffy they arrive at the Cliff where they see Luffy at the bottom of the cliff. When they reach where luffy is lying down they find him sleeping.

Elsewhere Usopp is trying to tell the villagers that Klahadore is a pirate named Captain Kuro but no one believes him because he is a habitual liar and chase him out. Then Usopp goes to visit Kaya at the mansion to convince her but failed to do so.

She asks him to leave then Usopp returns with a sullen face.

Ethan after training for a whole day comes with smiles on his face because he has finally made some progress in his training. He has achieved beginner level progress in his parallel thinking and he can do two different things at the same time with precision. One of his thought processes is currently trying to make a mind palace while he is walking on the road.

He also has been able to learn the flying thunder god technique. Space manipulation as well as the two bloodlines helped him. He feels it will get easier for him to learn jutsus from now on.

After Ethan finds Luffy and the rest he sees Nami treating a wound on Usopp's arm.

"What happened?" Ethan asked after seeing their serious expressions.

"The butler named Klahadore is a pirate named Captain Kuro and his is trying to murder the girl for her money."

Zoro explained to Ethan and Ethan nodded.

"So, Usopp tried to warn her and the Villagers but got beaten up because they thought he is telling a lie because he always has been lying to them."

Ethan said to them and Usopp flinched after hearing Ethan's words.

"Why are you all looking so serious. We just have to defeat all the pirates that come here tomorrow morning. Luffy I don't think if you will be able to be 'King of the pirates' If you can't even beat a single pirate captain."

Ethan said looking at Luffy and he looked determined and then turned towards Usopp.

"Usopp you have a potential to become a brave warrior of the sea as you call it and you say you want to be a brave warrior of the sea.

But all I see is a coward. If you can't even protect your only one friend I don't think you will be able to be a brave warrior of the sea.

So, if you want to be a brave warrior of the sea you will have to learn fight putting your life on the line because in the sea you will have to fight many times not knowing whether you will win or die."

Ethan said to Usopp and Zoro also nodded at Ethan's words smiling.

Usopp looked like he was thinking something and after a while he's sullen expression turned into a determined one.

"Okay we will not let the pirates enter this village tomorrow morning." Usopp said with a determined expression.

[Finally, I hope Usopp tries to get stronger from now on. I will have to train Usopp and Nami so that they will be able to protect their lives. I will also make them take the body tempering pills after we leave this island.]

Ethan thinks to himself.

Now Ethan and the rest are waiting for dawn so that they can fight the pirates and defeat them and protect Kaya.

.....

The next morning during dawn before the sun rises Ethan,Luffy, Usopp and Nami are waiting on a slope from where they will be able to see when the pirate ship arrives.

Ethan had brought them to the correct place.They also poured oil on the slope to make it Slippery so that the pirates would slip on the oil.

Ethan had brought out his rifle for the fight. He had reached higher level on his marksmanship and he was one step away from master level.

When the sun is about to rise at the Northern shore a pirate ship comes down and people get sown from it.

The first to land on the island is Jango and he recognizes Usopp.

"So yo have brought friends to stop us huh. No matter, I'll kill your friends with you."

Jango says and sends his pirate goons. Around 10 pirate goons running but before they could get to Ethan and the rest they slipped on the oil and fell down.

After seeing them fall down Usopp laughs and says

"This is the brilliant plan of Captain Usopp."

One of the intelligent ones bring some soil from the ground throws it over the oil to cover it up and comes running but all he got was a bullet between his eyes even before he could get near Ethan and the crew.

"What are you looking go. You don't want to fail in the mission that captain Kuro gave you, Do you?" Jango says and feeling afraid all the crew around 30-40 people come running.

Ethan starts to shoot people between the eyebrows. After one or two get close to him he puts the rifle in his ring and takes out his katana. He has tried out different swords the most comfortable is using katana for him so he prefers katana over the others.

He cuts one by the waist and seeing the innards fall out he wants to puke but manages to hold it in. He slashes at the other manages to blind his one eye. He then kicks him and slashes at his chest.

Zoro is also fighting three pirates and the same time. Nami also manages to hit some of the pirates with her staff.

Usopp is also hitting a few pirates with his slingshot but the most damage is caused by Luffy. He keeps hitting pirates left and right by stretching his hands and legs. After fighting for a while most of the pirates retreat back to where Jango is standing.

"Captain they are too strong." The crew members say Jango and takes out a disk tied on a rope.

Seeing Jango taking out the disks Ethan warns the crew not to look at the disk.

Jango hypnotizes his crew telling that they get more powerful, more fast, their wounds are healing.

They get aggressive and start to run towards the Strawhat crew but Luffy intercepts them as he was looking at the disk while Jango was hypnotizing his crew. Luffy was also hypnotized so he kept punching and kicking the pirates and after almost all of them were down he ran to their ship and tore a part it down.

Zango hypnotized Luffy to fall asleep so, Lufffy fell asleep and the broken part fell on top of him.

Jango called out the Meow ban brothers to fight and they started to run towards the crew.

Zoro and Ethan took one each brother. Ethan takes the smaller one fights him using his sword.

The pirate tries to slice at him using his right hand with claws in them which he blocks with his sword, then the pirate swipes at him using his left hand but he catches it with his left hand he kicks at him using his leg. The pirate gets kicked into the stomach and when Ethan tries to slash at him, he jumps high into air to dodge. But Ethan had marked his hand using a seal so Ethan teleports in midair and slashes at the pirate's chest. Finally the pirate falls down on the ground with blood pouring from his chest.

Zoro also had finished his fight with his 'ONIGIRI' move.

"You all are an disappointment. I have to finish this myself." They hear a voice and they turn to find Kuro standing there with a black bag. He drops the bag and takes out gloves which had long metal blades in them.

Nami had already waken up Luffy but she had gotten sliced up by Jango with the disk. Ethan went to her and gave her a senzu bean.

"Eat it. it will heal your wounds." Ethan said to Nami handing her a senzu bean and she took it happily and ate it.

Ethan turned towards Kuro and her saw the two Meaowban brothers running to him.

"You have been playing butler and have grown weak but we have grown stronger."

The meaowban brothers attack Kuro but he disappears. The two brothers fall down and everyone sees Kuro standing over them.

Kuro looks towards the crew and Jango then disappears.

Slowly, one by one the members of the Black cat pirates starts to fall on the ground.Seeing this Nami feels shocked and Luffy gets angrier by the second.

After Kuro stops cutting half of the crew he looks back and sees Kaya standing there with a hand covering her mouth and tears falling from her face.

Ethan goes next to Kaya and calls Usopp.

"Protect her, Kuro will try to kill her and take her property."

Ethan says and Usopp nods.

Ethan knows Kuro is very fast so her creates 5 clones and all of them surround Kaya to protect her. Usopp seeing this gets surprised.

Luffy walks towards Kuro and Kuro asks Luffy why he being an outsider is trying to interfere in the village's business.

Luffy answers that he is helping his friend Usopp, and when Luffy asks why Kuro is doing this he tells Luffy about his plan to get rid of his name Kuro.

He explains Luffy how he made himself dead in front of the Marines by hypnotizing a marine and his look alike and how he was planning to kill everyone in his crew who knew he was alive after getting Kaya's property.

Luffy after hearing this gets angry.

"How can you think of killing your friends?"

Luffy asks as her throws his right hand at Kuro to hit him but Kuro dodges. Luffy grabs a tree behind Kuro but Kuro runs above Luffy's hand and kicks Luffy on his cheek. Luffy flies and Lands away from Kuro.

The pirates start to cheer saying 'Captain Kuro' but Kruo shouts at the pirates saying he is doing this to clear his name as Kuro and how he hated the marines and the bounty hunters chasing him.

Kuro runs towards Luffy and tries to stab Luffy but Luffy grabs a huge rock and blocks Kuro's balded gloves with them. The blades in the gloves stab the rock instead of Luffy and luffy breakes the blades by moving the rock sideways.

............................................

Ethan, his five clones and Usopp are standing there surrounding kaya to protect her and Jano is walking towards them because Kuro ordered Jango to hypnotize Kaya to sign the paper to transfer all her prperty to Kuro, and the kill herself.

Jango was strong, he could cut through trees just by throwing his circular discs. Ethan told Usopp and his shadow clones to take Kaya away and protect her while he stood there to fight Jango.

Jango threw two discs towards Ethan jumped from between the two discs as he spun through the air. He took out his katana from his ring in midair and he tied to cut through Jango but he dodged. Ethan then threw the kunai that had been marked with his teleportation seal around Jango.

He then used teleportation to appear behind Jango as Jango didn't about teleportation seals so he his katana to slice Jango. Jango fell down blood erupting from his back.

Ethan started to look for Kaya and Usopp as he undid the Shadow clone jutsu after putting all the marker kunais in his ring. He had changed the markers in the Kunai after learning about the seals in it. It was like adding a mask so that if anyone saw it nobody would know that it was a teleportation marker seal. It would be helpful for spying also and he didn't want to know when he would go to Naruto world.
