Imprint...

Chapter 81

Title: Imprint...

….

"Huh?" Naruto is surprised as he looks at his stump, as his arm flies into the air. 

Mihawk looks at the child who attacked him. "Do not worry young man, your comrade is not dead."

As he says that he just puts his sword on his back. 

"Why you!!!" But Luffy wouldn't allow that as he extended his arm and caught into the railing of the ship Naruto and Mihawk were standing on. He propels himself forward as he prepares to punch Mihawk. But before he can meet Mihawk.

Pow!

A hand grabs Luffy by the face, it's Naruto. Luffy seemed surprised as he saw Naruto actually stopped him with an arm that is supposed to be separated from his body.

"Don't get angry Luffy, stretch your hand, and grab Zoro as he has fallen into the water. Luffy nods at this and does so, grabbing Zoro and pulling him out of the salty waters.

Naruto moved his hand a little and smiled. At the place where his arm was supposed to be cut, there was a zipper connecting the two sides. 

'I see… so my fruit can also be used this way.' Ponders Naruto as he lays a distraught Zoro on the floating debris and runs his finger along Zoro's wound.

*zippppp*

The sound of a zipper closing is heard as a zipper appears along Zoro's wound and closes it.

Naruto smiles at this. He never thought of using his fruit like this to close wounds and only got the idea when he saw his arm fly away. 'I can even move my arm perfectly. Hopefully, it attaches back naturally and I don't have to keep this zipper on my arm forever.'

Mihawk just looks at Luffy, Naruto, and Zoro. He looks at Luffy and asks. "What about you? What is your goal?"

"To become Pirate King." Answers Luffy with a cold look on his face that seems very unusual on his face.

"Heh, that is a goal even harder than surpassing me." Says Mihawk as he then addresses Naruto. "You?"

"Not telling you." Answers Naruto with a childish look on his face. 

Fwish!

Mihawk immediately points his sword at Naruto. "You have a way of getting under my nerves kid."

"Heh!" Naruto just smiles again, unrelentingly. 

Hawkeye decides to injure the kid a little to teach him that acting like that wouldn't help him survive. But suddenly a voice says. "I wouldn't do that if I was you Hawkeye."

Hawkeye looks at where the voice came and he sees a black cat looking at him intensively and wiggling its tail behind it.

"And why would that be?" Asks Hawkeye, a little amused by this situation.

"Because when you enter the Grand Line you won't leave it alive if his father catches wind of what went on here." Explained the Cat.

Mihawk looks at the cat searching for any sign of deceiving. But to him, the cat seemed to 100% believe its own words. In the end, he just put his sword on his back again and started walking away. 

Don Krieg sees this and calls out. "Hey, Mihawk di-"

Fwosh!

BOOOOM!

Before Don Krieg could even finish what he was saying. The ship wreckage he was standing on got cut and a giant tsunami engulfed Don Krieg as Mihawk jumps back to his small boat and disappears into the mist created by his slash. But not before he heard Zoro's declension of never losing again.

….

After that Don Krieg swims back upon his ship. He has an angry look on his face. He now thinks that he has figured out Hawkeye's tricks. 'He must have eaten a legendary Devil Fruit. No way can a normal man cut a ship in two like that.'

His mind simply couldn't comprehend power like that existed. He was what one would call a frog in a well. Because of his arrogance, he even assumes himself to be the world's strongest man… but that is all nothing. Naruto looks at Krieg and charges him, but Pearl, a man with many shields appears in front of him. 

Naruto didn't even try to maneuver as he just uses <Soru> and in a blink of speed disappears from everyone's vision and the next thing they see is…

BAAAM!

Pearl's giant shield crack and break as Naruto's fist sank into the man's abdomen, making him spew out two hands full of blood.  

"I don't have time for you now… <Soru>" Naruto's voice is up in the air as he just appears next to Don Krieg and before the man could react Naruto runs a finger along the man's neck… and it immediately flies off.

"Zipper-Zipper: Decapitation," Naruto announces the name of his attack as Krieg's body falls on the ground. Immobile while his head could still talk. "Zeff, I don't owe you anymore do I??"

"No, ya don't kid." Smiles Zeff.

Naruto then looks at the other Krieg Pirates and asks. "Do any of you wanna challenge me?"

They immediately shake their heads and jump off-board, he also throws away Don Krieg's head as he also had used a zipper to close Krieg's mouth. Naruto then looks at Don Krieg's body and a malicious smile appears on his face. 

He goes and uses his zipper ability to pull away Don Krieg's legs and arms apart. He also takes away his golden armor, weapons, and diamond knuckles. 

"Bahahhaha, I am gonna be rich!" Exclaims Naruto as he takes anything of value from Kreig. 

When Usopp sees Naruto's look on his face as he steals from Krieg and separated his body he yells out loudly. "AHHHHH! NARUTO IS CHOPPING SOMEONE UP!!!... oh wait there is no blood actually. Oy! Naruto what are you doing?"

Naruto smiles. "I am immobilizing him so the marines can take him away. Also, I am gonna actually need some money too as I don't want to always run away from my tabs."

Gin sees this and is about to act. He might never be able to repay the favor to Sanji. But he also respects Don Krieg, so he can't allow the man that he respects be captured like that. "Sorry… but…"

Suddenly Dead Cat jumps in front of and while licking its paws says. "When a black cat crosses your path then you are bound to have bad luck."

Gin looks at the talking cat and in the end, he attempts to walk forward, but the cat swings its tail slightly and suddenly Gin slips falling on his back. 

"I told ya if you keep walking that way you would have bd luck." Says the cat smugly. Gin just lies on the floor thinking about what he should do next. He could go and try to save Krieg, even if he knows that he will fail as Naruto would easily take him down. 

"Hey, cat… what do you think I should do?" Asks Gin while looking at the sky.

"Why the hell would I know what you want to do? Chose for yourself dumbass." Says Dead Cat as he starts walking towards the restaurant. "Hey, does anyone have any well-cooked food?"

Gin is left on the ground thinking what he should do with his life now… 

….

….

Around one hour passes and while Naruto, Luffy and Sanji go to get some food the chefs look at Sanji and say. "Are you the one who made this soup?"

"Yeah." Says Sanji.

"Horrible." Says Pattie and he spills it on the ground. "Did you put sh*t in it or something."

Immediately Sanji gets angry at this even as the rest of the chefs do the same, calling his soup horrible. Even Zeff joins in, insulting Sanji's food and saying that if he continued working here this restaurant would go under for serving such horrible food.

,,,,

 Sanji can't take that anymore and walks out of the door, but he is still just sitting on the ground as he hears everything going on inside. 

Naruto takes one of the plates and tastes the soup. "Woh, this is actually petty good."

"We know." Says one of the cooks. "But if we didn't say that Sanji would never leave this place to accomplish his dreams."

Luffy is a little surprised by that.

..

Sanji on the outside could hear everything that they were saying and quietly mumbled. "I can hear you... you bastards."

"Hey, can you get me a second serving, this soup is so good." Says one of the cooks who had insulted the food before.

….

After a little while, Sanji comes back to the kitchen and says to Luffy. "I will join your crew Luffy. I will accompany till you become King of The Pirates."

"YEAHHHHH!" screams Luffy in joy. Naruto is happy at this too as he says. "Thankfully we didn't have to kidnap you."

"What?" Questions Sanji as he looks at Naruto. But the latter just gives him some friendly slaps on the back. "Nothing, Nothing, no need to worry about it. Bahahahaha…"

Dead Cat was using his tail to grab a spoon and drink some of the soup. 'This is really nice. Glad a good cook like him joined our crew.'

Dead Cat then looks at them and says. "Okay now we need to go get Nami and we will be set and ready to go to the Grand Line."

…

After a while later and some tearful goodbyes Sanji and the rest of the Strawhat Crew set sail. Gin on the other hand is now wearing a waiters uniform as he says to Sanji. "Sanji! Don't worry, I will keep this place safe for you, so don't worry about anything happening to this place while you are on the Grand Line."

Gin had made his decision and has decided to protect Baratie in Sanji's place so he doesn't have to worry about it while he sails the Grand Line.

.....

While they were saying that, in Cocoyashi Island, inside Arlong Park, the fishman himself was sleeping while laying on his chair on the sun. Arlong had a red sun tattoo on the left side of his chest… and a nasty handprint scar on his chest.

"Ughh." Suddenly Arlong's body is covered in cold sweat and he clutches his chest where the handprint scar is.

…

In his dream, he saw a giant Kisame looking down on him with terrifying red eyes. The gisnat Kisame opens his mouth and says in a terrifying voice. "Run… run away… NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE EVER AGAIN IN THESE SEAS!!!!"

"AHHHHH!!!" Arlong wakes up with a loud scream as his body is covered in cold sweat. His old wound still aching as if it was made yesterday. 'Kisame… damn him…'

…..

AUTHOR NOTE:

Yeah, Kisame left quite an imprint on Arlong… both physically and mentally...
