Chapter 86
Title: Luffy's and Naruto's Pettiness...
….
As Naruto reminiscences on that memory. His body moves slightly and he punches Chew on the throat.
But due to the water weakening him the punch was too weak and Chew smirks at this. "Pathetic-"
But suddenly a zipper appears on his throat and it opens. But this time unlike normally which doesn't really cause any harm. Blood spews out of Chew's throat like a fountain.
Naruto can do this type of critical attack too and attack only the skin and muscle with his Zipper fruit, this way the blood can freely flow out of his body as it's not affected by the ability.
Chew falls on the ground, dead. Every one of the Cocoyashi villagers screams out in joy, to them a fishman dying is the best thing that can happen. A dead fishman is the best fishman. Arlong has cruelly managed and suppressed these villages so they all feel a bunch of hate from it.
Naruto takes a deep breath and stumbles a little as he stands up. He can feel his strength return back as he stands up. 'Damn, I will need to be a little more careful from now on.'
In the end, he just looks at Luffy and Sanji as they are still fighting their opponents. Zoro is sitting on the ground, so is Usopp.
"How are your injuries?" Asks Naruto, as they look at Sanji fighting Kuroobi, Sanji seems to be losing quite badly as he wasn't at all accustomed to Fishman Karate who can send shockwaves with fists and such.
Kuroobi has been deeply inspired by a certain someone, so he is stronger than he would have been otherwise.
"Pretty good, except the sharp tingling of pain when I move too much then I would think that I am perfectly healed." Says Zoro as he looks at the zipper where his wound should be.
"That is good then." Acclaims Naruto. "But after this, we must have a doctor look at the wound. I am not sure what effect my fruit might have on the wounds. My arm is still being held together by a zipper and I don't feel any pain from it but I must check with a doctor too."
Zoro nods at that, then they are both back and looking at the fight between Sanji and Kuroobi. The former releases a barrage of kicks that knocks out Kuroobi. Sanji is also injured and he has some blood coming from his head and mouth. He takes out a cigarette and lights it.
"A damn fish shouldn't try fighting a cook." Says Sanji slightly annoyed as he stumbles back to Naruto and the rest are. Naruto laughs when he hears Sanji say that. Sanji is actually way more injured than he seems. Fishman Karate has been for making damage that appears on the outside. Naruto's opinion of Sanji went up from him being just a perverted cook to a perverted cook who can back up his promises of chivalry because he has the power to.
Suddenly Naruto remembers something and runs his finger along his stomach and a zipper appears along his stomach. He opens it and a dark blur jumps out, it was Dead Cat.
*cough* *cough*
"What the hell Naruto! That place is nasty as hell!" Says the cat. "You are really a hoarder. You will need to organize that place, it's gross. There are molded foods, broken plates, and expired products."
Naruto looks at Dead Cat. "Yeah… someone will have to do that."
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Asks Dead Cat confusedly as it narrows its eyes at Naruto. Suddenly he understands what he is saying. "Oh hell no, I am not cleaning that gross place."
Naruto just shrugs at that. "Well I can't enter that place and you know that. Plus dad said that I am not allowed to fight without you inside me."
"Don't say it like that…"
"Don't say it how?" Asks Naruto confusedly.
*sigh* Dead Cat sighs at this. He knows that Jaw said that Naruto must never fight if Dead Cat isn't inside Naruto's dimension. Fighting Krieg was different as Dead Cat was still within the vicinity. But even Dead Cat doesn't dare to not follow Jaw's 'requests'... well they are more like orders, but it doesn't matter.
Jaw didn't let Naruto leave without countermeasures that will help Naruto survive. Dead Cat wasn't just a simple cat and it obviously is here to protect Naruto. 'Jaw will have my head on a plate if something happens to Naruto.'
Dead Cat looks and can't help it but be a little jealous of the family Naruto has. 'The boy doesn't even know the enormous lengths his father has gone to just so he can have this little adventure of his. Though I might not agree with Jaw on some of the things he does, I can respect that the man is an amazing father to his children.'
"Okay, I will do it if you give me the diamonds from Krieg." Says Dead Cat, Naruto is ready to try and negotiate that price down a little. But Dead Cat cuts him off by saying. "It's non-negotiable."
Naruto is a little put down by that but in the end, he just says. "Sure, for organizing my stuff ten times."
The cat nods at that with a smile on his face, but he can see Naruto have a smug look on his face. 'He probably thinks that he can make me organize the stuff in there when they get messy as hell. But I also said that I will organize, not how good of a job I will do. He is a hundred years too early to try and trick me.'
As Dead Cat contemplates that she sees Luffy do a Gum-Gum Gatling against Arlong. Every time it hit the palm-shaped scar on Arlong's chest, the fishman would wince in pain. Arlong didn't have access to his sword and most of the damage he did against Luffy wasn't anything too big to Luffy. Only a couple of bite injuries and Luffy was pretty okay and no other injuries. Arlong never was too good at Fishman Karate, and blunt force was almost useless against Luffy.
The people scream in happiness, Naruto screams in joy and even goes to put Luffy on his shoulders, parading him around the villagers who are crying out of happiness.
The people that saw this went and notified the whole island.
The marine captain tried to interrupt the fun but he was beaten by Naruto and Luffy half to death.
He did a bunch of empty threats and ran away.
….
As night came about, the people had started crazily celebrating. The children were all looking at Dead Cat mostly as he was eating a steak with impeccable table manners.
"Woah! He can talk. He even chews with elegance and even drinks wine."
"You think that it's some prince that was turned into a cat and can only be turned back to human with a kiss."
Dead Cat hears this and looks at the kid. "Oy kid! Bring me some sake and your mom here."
Dead Cat was evidently drunk as he said something like that.
….
At the same time, Zoro is drinking some sake and Sanji sits down and exclaims. "Whoa! I am full already."
As soon as he sits down Naruto and Luffy are seen running at Sanji as they arrive there Luffy asks. "Sanji! Do you know where the melons with ham inside are being served?"
Luffy was holding the meat food while Naruto too had his mouth full so he asked Sanji the same thing as Luffy but his question was unintelligible.
Sanji just looks at them and says. "Haven't you two been eating ever since the feast started? You never feel full or something?..."
They both nod at this and take a bite of the meat sticks that they have in their hands.
*sigh* "There is food being laid around by the villagers everywhere but I think I saw that dish on the outskirts." Says Sanji.
"Thank y-..." Luffy is about to thank Sanji but then he sees that Naruto is already running to the outskirts of the festival. "AHHHHH! NARUTO DON'T RUN AHEAD THAT IS CHEATING."
"Hahahahha… we are pirates. So of course I am gonna cheat! BAKA!" Mocks Naruto.
Luffy gets angry at this and stretches his arm, catching Naruto on the shoulder and pulling him back as he himself runs ahead. As Naruto is pulled back he isn't quite as he uses his zipper fruit to temporarily separate one of Luffy's feet and it stops him from running while Naruto charges on ahead. Luffy then attaches his leg back and closes the zipper, allowing him to use his limb again and chase after Naruto.
