CHAPTER 12: ROAD TO NEW WORLD
( KURAIGANA ISLAND/MIHAWK CASTLE)
Kuraigana Island is a mysterious island located on the Grand Line. The condition of the island is so gloomy, dark and filled with fog that for those who visit the island they will probably assume that the island was once inhabited or ruled by a kingdom called Shikkearu which had long collapsed and the island was filled with the baboons who have very skilled sword skills and this place is also the residence of Taka no Me Mihawk and also one of the crew of Luffy namely Roronoa Zoro was also thrown into this place.
At first Zoro was surprised to meet someone he really wanted to defeat. Mihawk himself, who had just returned from the war, was surprised to see Zoro here. Mihawk's short story tells Zoro everything about Marineford about Ace's death and the condition of his captain, Luffy. Zoro who knew that Ace had died in front of Luffy's eyes was shocked and decided to leave the island immediately and go see Luffy. But Zoro couldn't do that because the baboons on the island kept blocking his way and Zoro wasn't able to defeat the baboons.
Zoro decides to rest for a while to regain his strength and after that he plans to kill the baboons and leave the island. But Perona suddenly approaches Zoro and shows a news to Zoro. Zoro immediately saw the news where there was a picture of Luffy closing his eyes and there was a message written in Luffy's hand which was 3D2Y. Zoro immediately understands that Luffy decided to temporarily stop his pirate group for 2 years and meet again in Saboady after two years.
Zoro understood all that because Zoro also knew that Luffy and he and all his friends were still too weak to face the new world. Zoro decides to approach Mihawk and ask him to train himself so that he becomes stronger. Mihawk agreed to the request and now they are both in the castle.
"So what do you want to learn?" Mihawk asked Zoro.
"Teach me all the sword techniques you know so I can make my captain the king of pirates and be able to defeat you!" Zoro said looking at Mihawk seriously.
"Heh! You asked someone to train you and after that you wanted to beat him. Interesting!" Mihawk said while drinking his wine.
"There seems to be a lot of things I don't know in this world. In fact, I don't even know how to attack someone who uses a logical -type demon fruit." Zoro said while lowering his head.
"I will show you that power. The power that can attack the fruit of logical demons." Mihawk said with a slight grin.
"Then end this conversation and train me right away! I only have 2 years and I shouldn't waste the time given to me by Luffy even I don't want to waste a single second!" Said Zoro who stood up and immediately took his word.
"Go back to your seat Roronoa Zoro. You're still wounded and I'm still wounded from the battle of Marineford so I can only train you in two days. I need to rest until my wounds are closed." Said Mihawk who was still cool drinking wine and Zoro sat back down.
"By the way, who could hurt you like that? Almost your whole body was wrapped in a bandage and I'm sure it was a stab wound." Said Zoro who was actually curious who could make Taka no Me get seriously injured.
"That person is not a swordsman like me or like you who relies on a sword in a fight. He is just an ordinary sword user but his skill in using a sword is very great even greater than mine. Out of curiosity I asked him to fight and this is the result. I lost." Mihawk said casually.
"You-you-lost?" Zoro said, widening his eyes and stumbling because he didn't believe what Mihawk said. For Zoro, Mihawk is the strongest person he has to defeat because Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world. But after hearing that Mihawk was successfully defeated, should he change his dream and defeat the person who defeated this Mihawk?
"Hmm. His movements are fast and the man is a genius. He is able to mimic all my attacks. If you dream of defeating the man then forget you will not be able to and again surely your captain will not agree." Mihawk said staring at Zoro sharply.
"Who is that person?" Zoro asked who also stared at Mihawk sharply.
"Akuma no Me Uchiha Sasuke." Says Mihawk.
"Akuma no Me !? You mean her sister Luffy !?" Asked Zoro who was shocked by what he heard.
"That's right. And look at this. By looking at it you know that that person's level is far above yours and even I'm not his match." Said Mihawk who threw a fugitive poster at Zoro.
"3 Billion…" Zoro muttered softly and rolled his eyes in shock at what he saw. Zoro saw Sasuke's photo on the poster and was shocked by the huge price of his head.
"The bounty he has shows how strong he and the navy have equaled him with the Yonkou. And again I'm sure after this Akuma no Me will go to a new world in the near future and challenge one of the Yonkou. It's even more exciting!" Mihawk said with a thin grin.
"Is Luffy a very strong person?" Zoro asked, still paying attention to the poster in his hand.
"Ahh .. And again I think now Mugiwara is being trained by his sister and I'm sure after 2 years Mugiwara will be much stronger." Answer Mihawk.
"Heh! It has to be like that! The ocean is not a place to play around and if he wants to be the King of Pirates then he has to be stronger and I as his deputy captain also have to be stronger to protect his dreams and protect my name!" Zoro said with a proud smile.
"Rest and meet me in the forest in 2 days. We start training .."
(WHOLE CAKE ISLAND)
"Mamamama… Katakuri what you're reading seems very serious." Say Big Mom who is sitting on her throne and is eating candy.
"News of Shirohige's death. It looks like a new Era will begin soon." Said Katakuri who was still focusing his eyes on the newspaper he was reading.
"Mamamama .. That old grandfather should have died. He is old and there is nothing more he can do. At least he died honorably." Said Big Mom who was still chewing candy in her mouth.
"But other than that there are some pirates who are attracting the world's attention." Say Katakuri.
"Hah! They're all just amateurs. They're just a bunch of weak people who label themselves pirates and after that they're going to die in the ocean. Their level is still far from mine." Big Mom said with a grin.
"I guess so but there's one thing I don't think can be underestimated." Said Katakuri who gave a fugitive poster to his birth mother who was also his captain.
"Ehhhh !? 3,120,000,000 !? Who is this boy !?" Say Big Mom is curious to the person on the poster. Of course as an experienced pirate Big Mom knows that if there is a pirate whose head price is already above one billion then they are not ordinary pirates let alone this touches the figure of three billion.
This man was the one who split the Marineford naval headquarters in two and was able to split the mountain with one attack. The power of Akuma no Me Uchiha Sasuke is so great that the world government calls him the most dangerous person in the world. That's the information written in this newspaper about Akuma no Me. "Said Katakuri who immediately closed the newspaper and looked at Big Mom.
"Mamamama .. Looks like there's something interesting here. Uchiha Sasuke .." Big Mom said still noticing the fugitive poster he was holding.
"He is also touted as the most handsome pirate in the world. A lot of women are obsessed with his good looks. Rumors circulating that Uchiha Sasuke has a cold but caring nature and he has a unique fighting style that is different from most people." Said Katakuri who gave the information to his mother.
"Heee handsome and strong? It seems that this man is the dream of perorin women." Said Perospero who was sitting relaxed with his long tongue sticking out.
"Hmm if I was a little younger then I would marry him. Look at this face! This man has a perfect face and this look in his eyes is very seductive. Well already I decided I would make him my member!" Said Big Mom who was staring at all her children in front of her.
"Then what's your plan Mama? How do you make her part of Big Mom Kaizokudan?" Smoothie asked Big Mom.
"You must already know what I'm thinking. Of course it's a wedding. One of you has to marry her." Say Big Mom.
"But who?" Smoothie asked.
"Do you want to marry her?" Big Mom asked Smoothie.
"Mama isn't that I don't want to but she's too small for me. She doesn't fit my figure." Says Smoothie who realizes that he is a giant while Sasuke is a human with a normal height of around 190 cm.
"Hmmm .. Then you who are normal in body should marry her. Galette do you want to marry her?" Big Mom asked her 18th child.
"Ee-eh !? My mom doesn't even recognize him!" Galette said a little startled because her name was suddenly called.
"Mamamama .. Don't be like that .. Look at this and you will definitely change your mind after seeing his face." Said Big Mom who immediately threw a poster of Sasuke's fugitive to Galette.
"Wo-wow! How handsome!" Galette murmured looking at the poster with eyes that transformed into hearts.
"Mamamama .. Then you will marry her right?" Big Mom asked with a smile.
"Ten-of course! OF COURSE I WILL MARRY HIM! I WILL BE THE WIFE OF THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WORLD! KYAAA!" Galette shouted happily because she was going to marry Sasuke.
"Very lucky…." Said Amande who was jealous of Galette.
"Then you all prepare everything. Make the invitation and the wedding cake and find out where Akuma no Me is. Galette prepare yourself as best you can. This man is not a random person and don't disappoint him." Say Big Mom to Galette.
"Good Mama! I'll try as hard as I can to get her heart!" Galette said enthusiastically.
(CALM BELT: RUSAKAINA ISLAND)
"Good! This is a good place to train you Luffy. This place is very spacious and inhabited by powerful wild beasts." Rayleigh said smiling at Luffy
"Uhm! Then let's go to Rayleigh practice!" Said Luffy who immediately ran into the island.
"Wait a minute Luffy! Sasuke is still arguing with Hancock." Says Rayleigh who sweatdrops and looks at Sasuke and Hancock who are still arguing.
"Why do they both always quarrel?" Said Luffy who saw Hancock and his Brother were staring and shouting at each other.
"NO!" Sasuke said firmly and looked at Hancock seriously.
"SHUT UP! YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU HAH !?" Hancock said that his eyes were as sharp as the eyes of a demon.
"If you continue like this I will tie you up here." Said Sasuke who immediately turned his body and stepped to his feet to leave Hancock.
"Ohh .. It turns out you like the ones tied? You wild virgin!" Hancock said staring at Sasuke's back while grinning.
"I don't mind being a virgin my age. I consider it an achievement." Said Sasuke who kept walking away from Hancock.
"Just tell me you're embarrassed because your penis is small!" Said Hancock who grinned and left. Don't know why after saying that Hancock was satisfied.
"…" Sasuke immediately stopped his step and a black aura came out above his head. Sasuke clenched his fists and his body trembled.
"It's true! Your penis is small!" Hancock said with a demonic smile.
Sasuke immediately turned his body and immediately walked closer to Hancock. Hancock who saw it just smiled and folded his arms. Sasuke stood in front of Hancock and stared at him flat. Sasuke immediately hugged Hancock and put his lips near Hancock's ears.
"For a woman like you, my fingers alone are enough to make that camkan fall well." Sasuke whispered in Hancock's ear and gently bit half of Hancock's ear.
BUAGH!
"Hah..hah..hah..hah .." Hancock immediately sat down and held his chest which felt tight and his breath was gasping. "Shit! Why is this man so passionate? What are you thinking Hancock !? Be aware! Your love is only for Luffy! Ta-but Sasuke I want to do it with you!" Hancock thought.
"I'm really excited." Said Sasuke who immediately left Hancock and walked towards Luffy and Rayleigh who were waiting for him.
"EEEHHHH !?" Says Hancock who just realized what had happened. Hancock forgot that the man who saved him could read his mind like a book. Hancock always felt naked either physically or mentally when he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke knew his past and Sasuke had seen his body and again Sasuke was able to read his heart and also his mind. But, Hancock did not hate Sasuke because he knew that Sasuke was a good man despite being very rude and arrogant.
"I'm sorry to have waited so long. The women there are quite troublesome." Say Sasuke to Rayleigh and Luffy.
"Hmm I should have recorded the moment when you hugged Hancock and I'll show it to Nico Robin." Rayleigh said smiling at Sasuke.
"Rayleigh I honestly love Shakky." Sasuke said flatly and walked straight past Rayleigh.
"EEEEHHHH !? WHAT DID YOU SAY !?" Rayleigh shouted back a few steps and all eyes turned white in shock at Sasuke's recent words.
"Come on Luffy." Said Sasuke who walked past Luffy and started into the forest.
"Oi you two why are you like that? What exactly did Sasuke say to you that made you scared like that?" Luffy said, scratching his cheek in confusion at Hancock and Rayleigh.
"Luffy! If later you get together with nakamu again tell Nico Robin to keep an eye on Sasuke! Do anything to keep him away from Shakky!" Rayleigh said to Luffy.
"Luffy .. If you meet Nico Robin says that Sasuke makes me aroused and wants to use his fingers to make me fall .." Hancock said to Luffy.
"I don't understand what you're talking about but I'll tell Robin everything. I'll go shishishi first." Luffy said following Sasuke.
"Uchiha Sasuke .. I feel something awkward in him." Hancock said staring at the forest in front of him.
"Hmm .. He is a mysterious figure." Answer Rayleigh.
"I just feel like he's going to do something big that will change this world." Hancock said.
"It seems so and you're very lucky to be one of his friends." Rayleigh said smiling at Hancock.
"Even though she's Luffy's older sister, they both have opposing natures. I don't know why, I feel comfortable being around her. I feel like I can do everything if I'm with her." Hancock said with a smile.
"Well because he's a strong man. Then I'll go first. See you Hancock." Said Rayleigh who went straight into the woods.
-X-
Luffy, Sasuke and Rayleigh are now in a pretty good place to do their exercises. Now the three of them were sitting and eating their provisions. It's a good idea to fill your stomach first before exercising. That's what Luffy said to Sasuke and Rayleigh. Now they had all finished their meals and they all stood up to begin Luffy's training.
"Well Luffy-kun before we start training it's a good idea to warm up. Isn't that so Sasuke-kun?" Rayleigh said smiling at Sasuke.
"Great idea. Luffy prepare yourself and fight me." Said Sasuke who immediately opened his robe and stood in front of Luffy.
"EE-EHHHH !? TU-WAIT FIRST! WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT WITH MY OWN BROTHER !?" Luffy shouted in fear of having to fight Sasuke. Luffy knew that Sasuke was very strong and there was no way he could win against Sasuke at least until now.
"It's just a warm -up and if I fight you I can find out where your weaknesses are." Sasuke said flatly while looking at Luffy.
"Hmmm you're right too! All right then I'll fight you Sasuke!" Said Luffy who had mounted the fighting horses.
"Yossh then the fight .. STARTED!" Rayleigh shouted giving a nod.
Luffy immediately ran towards Sasuke and immediately jumped into the air.
GOMU-GOMU NO: GATORINGGA!
Luffy immediately attacked Sasuke with his gatoring technique. Sasuke who saw that avoided Luffy's arm one by one easily and immediately jumped into the air. Sasuke's hand turned black as he had activated his Bushosoku Hakinya and he immediately hit Luffy right in the face pretty hard.
BUAGH!
BOOOMM!
"SA-SICK! SO SICK! THE BLOW IS ALMOST AS HARD AS JI-CHAN! WHY IS THE BLOW SO HARD! EVEN THOUGH I'M A RUBBER MAN!" Luffy shouted as he rolled on the ground while holding his head that was bleeding from Sasuke's blow.
"W-Aren't you exaggerating?" Said Rayleigh who looked at Sasuke with a slightly annoyed look.
"It's like I'm late! I'm used to fighting people who use the devil's fruit of logic so I immediately put on my rights." Said Sasuke who was also sorry to see Luffy grimacing in pain.
"YOU TRIED TO KILL ME HAH !?" Said Luffy who immediately stood up and pointed at Sasuke with his index finger.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Well, it looks like I don't need to fight you because somehow you won't be able to attack me. We'll just get to the point." Sasuke said.
"Uhmm .. By the way Sasuke why can you make me bleed like this? Am I not a rubber man?" Asked Luffy who was still holding his aching head.
"Just because you eat devil's fruit doesn't mean you can't be attacked. Don't you think how your grandfather became a great man without eating devil's fruit?" Sasuke asked Luffy who was trying to get Luffy to think.
"Because of Ji-Chan Monster ..." Luffy said innocently and without thinking long.
"I guess that's the answer. Rayleigh explained it to her." Said Sasuke who looked down and massaged his forehead because of his brother's stupidity.
"Hahahah you are indeed an innocent person Luffy. So where do I have to start? Actually in this world everyone is able to gain strength and become strong without the need for demon fruit. It has been shown by Shanks and your Grandfather." Rayleigh said smiling at Luffy.
Suddenly from behind them came the sound of very large footsteps heading towards them. And for a moment a very large elephant appeared behind them.
"SASUKE! RAYLEIGH! BEWARE! THERE'S A BIG ELEPHANT BEHIND YOU!" Said Luffy who remembered Rayleigh and her sister
"AH! It just so happens that there is something that can be used as an example. Luffy pay close attention." Said Rayeligh who closed her eyes and smiled.
The elephant behind Rayeligh immediately attacked blindly but Rayleigh was able to avoid it all easily. Luffy who saw it just opened his mouth because he was amazed to see Rayleigh.
"What Rayleigh is doing is called Kenbonshoku no Haki. Kenbonshoku Haki allows its users to predict enemy movements and be aware of the enemy's hiding presence." Sasuke said to Luffy.
"Well Luffy now look at this." Rayleigh said smiling and turning her body to face the elephant. Rayleigh immediately attacked the elephant with one hand and what surprised Luffy was that the elephant immediately bounced.
"That's Bushosoku no Haki. Simply put bushosoku haki is a power that can give its users some kind of armor or protection. This right is used to fight people who eat logia demon fruit. If you use this haki then you can attack people who use logia demon fruit like Aokiji and Kizaru. " Sasuke explained to Luffy.
"Well Luffy is the last one." Rayleigh said to Luffy. Slowly the elephant got up and immediately ran towards Rayleigh to attack him. Rayleigh just looked at the elephant and narrowed her eyes. An aura came out of Rayleigh's body and the running elephant slowly stopped his step and seen from the look on his face the elephant was scared. Slowly the elephant immediately fell and fainted.
"I-That's what Shanks did!" Said Luffy who recalled his memories with Shanks when he was rescued from a monster that tried to eat him.
"Haoshoku no Haki. Simply the user emits an aura or something that makes people around him intimidated and faint. Unlike the previous 2 rights, Haoshoku can only be used by certain people who have a strong determination. You are one of them because you had time took it out in Marineford unknowingly. " Sasuke said to Luffy.
"SUGE! I WANT TO TRAIN NOW AS WELL!" Said Luffy who immediately stood up and smiled at Sasuke and Rayleigh who were in front of him.
"Looks like you're so excited Luffy-kun!" Rayleigh said smiling at Luffy.
"Hn. Then we start from Kenbonshoku. Are you ready?" Sasuke said a little stretching and approached Luffy.
"YOSH! COME ON!"
-X-
TIME SKIP 6 MONTHS.
Six months have passed since the great Marineford fight and many things have changed. Sasuke himself has now finished his training with Luffy and left the rest to Rayleigh and Sasuke decides to go to a new world and head to where the Yonkou are. Luffy initially opposed Sasuke's decision to fight a Yonkou because he was afraid Sasuke would die because for Luffy Sasuke was now the only brother he had.
Luffy and Sasuke also had a great fight because Luffy didn't want to see Sasuke die silly at the hands of the Yonkou. Ever since the Marineford fight Luffy realized that the enemy he would face was a very powerful enemy. Sasuke even told Luffy that one of Luffy's weaknesses in being a pirate was being too relaxed and too reckless. Maybe it can still be used on the Grand Line but don't expect it in the New World.
Luffy tells Sasuke that Sasuke is too arrogant and too confident. Luffy did not understand the nature of his sister who wanted to do everything alone and always refused help from others. Luffy advises Sasuke to make his own pirates but Sasuke doesn't want to. Sasuke said that his strength was more than enough to conquer the Yonkou and that if he was alone he could fight more freely without having to worry about his friends.
The quarrel lasted for 2 days and finally Luffy gave up. It may be very rare to hear Luffy give up but this time his opponent is his own brother, Uchiha Sasuke. Luffy tries to trust Sasuke and lets him go on one condition that he must win and must not die. Luffy says that Sasuke is the only brother and Luffy doesn't want to lose Sasuke and Luffy has promised Robin that he will meet him with Sasuke. Sasuke who heard that became annoyed again and told Luffy that Robin was no longer his name and whatever Robin did was no longer his business. Luffy who heard this became angry again and quarreled with Sasuke because how could Sasuke say that Robin was not his name anymore.
Finally, Luffy gave up again because he knew that no one could beat Sasuke arguing because of his arrogant and stubborn nature. Sasuke has also been training Luffy for 6 months and Luffy can already use Bushosoku and Kenbonshoku Hakinya only needs to be sharpened a little more.
Now Sasuke is sailing with a Marine ship that he stole from Marineford 6 months ago and he just removed the Marine emblem on the ship and now he is heading to a new world. He now it has arrived at Saboady. When he set foot back in Saboady, Sasuke's memory immediately remembered his memories with Robin. On this island, their relationship became closer because of the many tragedies that happened here. Sasuke just smiled bitterly because honestly his little heart was worried about Robin's condition but Sasuke chose not to look for Robin and focused himself on fighting the Yonkou.
"Very handsome!"
"Itu Akuma no Me!"
"Akuma no Me be my husband!"
"Akuma no Me look at my body!"
"KIYAAA! I LOVE YOU AKUMA NO ME!"
The women who saw Sasuke walking immediately shouted with joy at seeing Sasuke who was very handsome. For Sasuke, things like this were normal because even when he was in the world of Shinobi, all women always adored him because of his handsome face. Sasuke ignored all that and decided to go to the Shakky Bar and ask for his help to coat his ship with bubbles. But his steps stopped when he heard someone calling his name.
"SASUKE-SAN!" Said the man and a little ran towards Sasuke.
"Jimbe…" said Sasuke who looked to the side and saw Jimbe running towards him
"I didn't expect to meet you here Sasuke-San. Nice to meet you again hahaha." Jimbe said with a laugh.
"Hmm I didn't expect to meet you here either. Then what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked Jimbe.
"I'm on my way to my island. The fish man island. There seems to be a bit of a problem there. I got a report someone was kidnapping members of the government and couping King Neptune." Jinbe said clenching his fists and looked very upset.
"Souka can I come with you? I'm going to a new world and the closest I hear route to the new world is through Fish Man Island." Sasuke said to Jimbe.
"Good! No problem Sasuke-San you can come with me." Jimbe said with a smile.
"Thank you but it looks like we have to line my ship with bubbles first. I hear your island is at the bottom of the sea." Sasuke said to Jimbe
"Ahh that's right too. I'm planning to swim because I can breathe in the water but since you're coming then I'd better help you coat your ship. Follow me Sasuke-San I'll coat your ship with bubbles considering Rayleigh isn't here so I'm the one will help." Says Jimbe.
"Ahh thank you Jimbe." Sasuke said smiling at JImbe.
-X-
Sasuke and Jimbe are now inside Sasuke's ship which is already lined by bubbles. Thanks to Jimbe who understands and understands how the system of the ship's bubble works so that it can help Sasuke to dive to the bottom of the sea with his ship and be able to go to a new world. Now they are both sitting in the middle of the ship and enjoying hot coffee.
"How are you Sasuke-San? I share my grief over Ace-San's death." Jimbe said looking at Sasuke.
"I'm fine. His death did leave a wound for me but I can let it go. Thanks to Shirohige for waking me up at that time." Sasuke said looking at the coffee he was holding.
"I thought you were going to destroy the whole navy then. The giant you created was horrible. You could even split Marineford and split a mountain hahahah." Said Jimbe who laughed remembering the incident in Marineford. For jimbe that was the most terrifying force he had ever seen as long as he was a pirate.
"Hmm. That's not how I didn't even expend my full strength." Sasuke said with a slight smile proudly at Jimbe's compliment.
"Hahaha even you are dubbed the most dangerous person in the world and your bounty is almost equal to that of the Yonkou." Jimbe said smiling at Sasuke.
"Actually I'm heading to one of Yonkou's places." Say Sasuke who became serious.
"Hmmm? Which Yonkou are you talking about Sasuke-San?" Jimbe asked curiously.
"Kaido. I heard he's in Wano Kuni." Sasuke said a little sipping his hot coffee.
"Is it Kaido? Are you sure you want to fight him alone? Kaido has a lot of great men and the number of his troops is tens of thousands. And what is your purpose to Wano Kuni?" Jimbe asked Sasuke.
"I myself can defeat all the pirates Kaido Jimbe do not underestimate me. And my goal is to Wano Kuni to… check something." Sasuke said a little confused what to answer because he couldn't explain everything to Jimbe.
"I don't underestimate you Sasuke-San at all but I think you're the one who underestimated Kaido. It's not a matter of winning or losing but I'm worried you'll die and again Kaido is a cunning and deceitful pirate. How would Luffy-kun feel if he heard you died ? " Jimbe said a little advising Sasuke.
"Jimbe thank you for your attention and if you only knew I once defeated a god. So I think Kaido is not a big deal to me." Sasuke said with a slight smile as he remembered his fight with Kaguya and Madara.
"God? What do you mean god?" Said JImbe who tilted his head slightly because he was confused by Sasuke's words.
"I'll explain someday." Sasuke said smiling at Jimbe.
"By the way, Sasuke-San, how is Luffy-Kun? I heard he's studying Haki ..." said Jimbe who shifted the topic of conversation because he didn't understand what Sasuke was saying.
"That's right. So far he's pretty good. He's been able to use Bushosoku and Kenbonshoku hakinya and still needs to be honed again. Haoshoku Haki still seems a little difficult for him but a few times he's been able to use them so I think he'll be able to master them." Sasuke said explaining Luffy's condition.
"That boy is just as careless as Ace. What if he continues his journey without controlling Haki?" Said Jimbe who massaged his forehead because he thought how stupid Luffy was to dare to go to a new world without mastering Haki.
"She's a nuisance but she's still my sister. Jimbe if you're willing to join Luffy's pirate members. I think your maturity is needed in a group of amateur pirates like Luffy." Sasuke said looking at Jimbe seriously.
"Hahahaa it looks like you're worried about Luffy and his nickname Sasuke-San. I'm thinking about that. I think Luffy is a very good captain and I believe he's the next Pirate King. And again considering you asked for it it looks like I can't refuse it." Jimbe said laughing.
"Looks like a lot of people already believe that Luffy will be the Pirate King." Said Sasuke who smiled because he remembered how stupid Luffy was as a child and now Luffy has grown into someone who can be trusted.
"Sasuke-San we'll be there soon." Said Jimbe who immediately stood up and looked down.
"The island in the bubble is a fish man island?" Said Sasuke who saw there was an island in the bubble.
"Right and we'll get into it. Get ready Sasuke-San!" Jimbe said reminding Sasuke
Sasuke who heard that immediately prepared himself to hold the stick next to him tightly. The ship began to enter the bubble. Sasuke's ship tried to enter the bubble and succeeded but the lining bubble that covered Sasuke's ship immediately burst due to running out of air and was hit by a very hard impact that caused the ship to fall and be swept away by the current. Sasuke and Jimbe immediately jumped off the ship and they both floated in the air.
"Did we succeed?" Sasuke asked Jimbe.
"It's not just the first layer yet. We have to go through the second layer. Unfortunately we have to leave this ship. This first layer is like land because there's a lot of air here while the second layer contains water with a very strong current. I'll hold you Sasuke-San get ready!" Jimbe immediately grabbed Sasuke. Jimbe's body size was so large that even his palms could grip Sasuke's entire body.
"Then let's go." Said Sasuke who was in Jimbe's grip.
Jimbe immediately jumped towards the second layer bubble and slowly entered the second layer bubble. When they entered, they were immediately greeted by a very large current and attracted them to follow the current. Sasuke held his breath so that no water entered his lungs and Jimbe tried to swim as hard as he could to get past this current. For Jimbe this is not too difficult considering he is a fish man and able to live in water. Jimbe continued to fight the current and brought Sasuke to enter the fish man island and finally Jimbe was able to get through the current and they managed to enter the fish man island.
"UAAHHHH!" Sasuke said with a sigh because he had been holding his breath ever since.
"Thank goodness you survived Sasuke-San." Jimbe said smiling at Sasuke and placing Sasuke next to him.
"Thank you. I don't know what would happen if I came here without you." Sasuke said, still panting with his body soaking wet.
"Isn't it easy to enter this island?" Jimbe said with a slight grin seeing Sasuke panting.
"Then what about my ship?" Says Sasuke who just realized that his ship had disappeared because he couldn't get through the first layer.
"Calm down Sasuke-San. I'll give you a ship after this." Jimbe said still smiling to Sasuke.
"Ahh all right. Then what do we do after this?" Sasuke asked as he stood up and looked at Jimbe.
"I will check the condition of the kingdom and you can come with me to take the ship after which you can continue your journey Sasuke-San." Jimbe said to Sasuke.
"Looks like I'm going to rest here first Jimbe and who knows you need my help." Sasuke said.
"I'm sorry Sasuke-San but I don't seem to need your help." Said Jimbe who folded his arms and tried to stop Sasuke from interfering in his problem.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Sasuke said confused by Jimbe's reaction.
"The situation on this island is quite complicated and not as simple as you think. The fish humans have a bad view of humans so I can't let you free on this island or you will be attacked by the fish humans. Not that I think you will lose to the fish humans. These fish only if you hurt one of them then the fish man's view of humans will get worse. I hope you can understand that. " Jimbe said to Sasuke firmly.
"It's just a matter of point of view. Someone's point of view will change if they see the opposite. If they think that humans are bad then I will treat them well. Jimbe listen to this, I want to repay your kindness for saving Luffy and making Luffy relent. Ace's death then let me help you this time. " Said Sasuke who looked at Jimbe seriously.
"DON'T MOVE! RAISE YOUR HANDS AND STAY STANDING THERE!"
Sasuke and Jimbe immediately turned their bodies around and saw some army of fish humans who were already carrying complete weapons of pistols, swords, chains and more. The soldiers immediately pointed their weapons at Jimbe and Sasuke.
"Who are they?" Sasuke asked, looking calm and not panicking.
"I don't know. I've never seen them before and again the robe seems to symbolize their organization." Said Jimbe who answered Sasuke's question.
Sasuke who was trying to notice the soldier's cloak immediately widened his eyes and was very surprised by what he saw. The soldiers were wearing long black robes and what caught Sasuke's attention was the picture of the red cloud that was in the robe. The robe was very accurate with the akatsuki robe.
"So you're the sea knight Jimbe?" Said one of the soldiers with a grin.
"Who are you? Are you rebels?" Jimbe asked the soldier.
"Hahaha exactly we are the team that overthrew the fish man kingdom and we have already made King Neptune languish in prison besrta with his family. With the strength of our leaders, we will make the fish man more superior and make man our slave." The soldier said with a grin.
"Then what happened to the people on this island? Are they okay?" Jimbe asked worriedly.
"For those who want to come with us they will be safe but for those who refuse us make them slaves and make their lives more miserable. We will sell those who do not want to come with us to the Tenryuubitos to get a lot of money hahahah." Said one of the soldiers who made Jimbe even angrier and wanted to beat them all. But it all stopped when Sasuke walked and stopped in front of Jimbe.
"Why are you wearing that robe?" Sasuke said to the soldiers. Jimbe who heard this became more angry with Sasuke because at a time like this how could he ask such a thing?
"This is a cloak that symbolizes our pirates. Our own captain designed it and we as his men are obliged to wear this cloak. This cloak is our bulwark and the lambing of the strength of the real fish man. WE ARE AKATSKUI KAIZOKUDAN!" The soldier shouted.
"A-Akatsuki?" Sasuke said hesitantly because he didn't expect to hear the name akatsuki in this world with the exact same cloak and emblem.
"Who is that akatsuki !? And who is your leader?" Jimbe's shouts immediately set up the fighting horses.
"Our captain .. no he can't be called captain anymore because he is now the king of the fish man kingdom. He is Hoshigaki Kisame-Sama!" Say one of the fish man army.
Sasuke who heard that immediately rolled his eyes and was really shocked. He did not think that there were other people from the Shinobi world who were able to enter this world. Sasuke's hand trembled and his eyes immediately turned into a sharingan. Sasuke knew that every member of the akatsuki was very strong and very cruel. Surely they will commit a crime and Sasuke will not let that happen in this world.
"Where is he now? Tell Kisame that I'm Uchiha Sasuke wanting to see him." Say Sasuke flatly and try to be as calm as possible so as not to look suspicious.
"YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MEET KISAME-SAMA BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO DIE HERE! ATTACK THEM!" Say the leader of the team and they together directly attack Sasuke and Jimbe.
Jimbe who saw that immediately clenched his fists and prepared to serve them all. But before Jimbe could move, Sasuke immediately narrowed his eyes and immediately a purple aura came out of Sasuke's body and the aura immediately made the entire human army of the fish fall to the ground.
"Haoshoku no Haki…" Jimbe muttered in surprise because he just knew that Sasuke could use Haoshoku Haki.
"Jimbe there seems to be something wrong on this island. We have to check it out." Say Sasuke who is still curious about the Kisame they are talking about. Sasuke had to find out if this was Kisame who used to live in the Shinobi world or not.
"But what should we do? If we go directly to the kingdom then all the enemies will attack us and again we do not know how the condition of King Neptune. If we are reckless then bad things may happen." Jimbe said folding her arms as she looked down and was thinking.
"We'd better surrender to this Akatsuki so we can know more about the details and see the true condition of the palace." Sasuke said.
"Y-You want to surrender?" Asked Jimbe who still didn't believe what Sasuke had just said.
"Hn. It's better that way. We'll understand if we meet them." Said Sasuke who still remained with his stance to immediately see the condition of the palace.
"All right then. I'm counting on you Sasuke-San." Says Jimbe
-X-
Sasuke and Jimbe are now walking towards Ryugu Castle where they believe this man named Kisame lives. As they traveled they looked around them where no one was around them. It's been about 10 minutes walking Sasuke and Jimbe hear a woman screaming. Apparently this woman was screaming in pain because Sasuke and Jimbe could distinguish the types of screams. Sasuke and Jimbe immediately ran towards the voice to make sure.
"AAAAHHHHH! STOP!"
"HAHAHAHA do you feel any pain?"
"Please stop forgiving me!"
"Then you have to marry me!"
"No .. Please don't hurt me and my family .."
"BASIC GIANT MERMAID DOESN'T KNOW HERSELF FEEL THIS HIYAAA!"
"SAKITTTTT!"
Sasuke and Jimbe kept running to the source of the sound and finally they arrived. Sasuke saw a giant fish man whose body was covered with whip wounds and bruises all over his body. Sasuke thought that the fish man was a mermaid because he was a woman. Sasuke saw the giant mermaid was crying and with her neck chained.
On the other hand, Jimbe who saw it clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and shed tears. Jimbe is very familiar with the giant mermaid who is being tortured.
"SHIRAHOSI-SAMA!" Jimbe shouted.
Everyone who was there immediately turned to the source of the sound and saw two people standing beside them. Shirahosi who felt her name was called also turned around and saw Jimbe with a human. Shirahosi immediately shed tears of happiness for seeing Jimbe dating.
"JIMBE OYABUN-SAMA!" Shirahosi immediately shouted at Jimbe.
"Do you know him?" Sasuke asked Jimbe.
"Of course! She is the Princess of this island! All the inhabitants of this island must know her!" Jimbe said angrily.
"Jimbe? What are you doing here and again you brought a human here !?" Said one of the fish men who had beaten Shirahosi. The fish man wore a hat and had a mustache on his face like a seal and had four legs.
"Vander Decken! What do you think you've done huh !? She's the princess of this kingdom!" Said Jimbe who was ready to attack with his Gyojin Karate horses.
"Bahohohoho which kingdom do you mean huh !? The name of the king on this island is no longer Neptune but Hoshigaki Kisame-Sama! And Shirahosi is no longer a princess but just a slave of ours namely Akatsuki!" Vander Decken said with a laugh.
"Seal!" Sasuke shouted at Vander Decken.
"Aa-sea dog !? WHO DO YOU CALL THE SEA DOG THE BASIC HUMAN HINA !? I AM VANDER DECKEN IX THE CAPTAIN OF THE FLYING SEA PIRATES AND I AM A HUMAN FISH SPECIES OF A BULL HEAD SHARK!" Vander Decken shouted at Sasuke angrily for not accepting being called a seal.
"Sharks don't have mustaches like you. Release him or I'll kill you here." Sasuke said flatly.
"HAH !? YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME HINA HINA !?" Vander Decken shouted at Sasuke.
"Sasuke-San even though he's an enemy please don't kill him." Jimbe said reminding Sasuke.
"Good ..." said Sasuke who then immediately stepped forward a few steps and looked at Vander Decken and his men who surrounded Shirahosi.
"Go ahead, all of you." Say Sasuke to Vander Decken and his men.
"CIH! YOU ALL FAST HIM!" Said Vander Decken who ordered his men to attack Sasuke.
"HIYAAAAA!" All of Vander Decken's men, numbering 40, ran directly towards Sasuke and intended to attack Sasuke. Sasuke who saw it just smiled and immediately made a hand seal.
KATON: GOKAKYUU NO JUTSU!
Sasuke immediately sprayed a large fireball at Vander Decken's men and as a result all of Vander Decken's men were hit by the fireball and fell to the ground with burns.
"Now it's your turn." Sasuke said pointing at Vander Decken.
"Ka-ka-you finished all my troops? I WILL NOT FORGIVE! FEEL THIS HIYAAAA!" Vander Decken said angrily and immediately threw an ax at Sasuke.
Sasuke who saw an ax floating towards him just kept quiet and grabbed the ax easily. Sasuke immediately threw the ax back at Vander Decken.
SRING!
Exactly one centimeter before the ax landed on Decken's head, the ax immediately turned into Sasuke who had already lined his hands with Haki and was preparing to punch him.
"UAAAGHHHHH!" Vander Decken screamed in pain and immediately bounced hundreds of meters due to Sasuke's very hard punch.
"Jimbe, I've fixed everything." Sasuke said to Jimbe. Jimbe who heard that immediately nodded and ran towards Sasuke and Shirahosi.
"Shirahosi-Are you okay?" Jimbe asked looking at Shirahosi worriedly.
"Uh-uhmm .. Ettoo .. Thank you for saving me…" Shirahosi said to Jimbe and Sasuke who were standing in front of him.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Sasuke asked Shirahosi whose body was already covered with wounds and bruises.
"Ti-it's okay .. Awww!" Shirahosi said holding her stomach and wincing in pain.
"Shirahosi-Sama you must be treated immediately! ' Jimbe shouted realizing that Shirahosi's condition was very bad.
"Leave it to me Jimbe. I'll cure it." Sasuke said who immediately released a green light from his palm and held Shirahosi's stomach and slowly all the green light covered Shirahosi's body and slowly the wounds on Shirahosi's body disappeared.
"Ha-very warm." Said Shirahosi who closed his eyes while enjoying the warmth of the green light.
"I'm not you that you're a doctor too Sasuke-San." Jimbe said fascinated by what Sasuke was doing.
"I've been studying medical science lately since I'm going to sail on my own. I have to be able to do everything myself." Sasuke said flatly and still continued his activities to heal Shirahosi's wounds.
"Looks like you're having a crisis of trust in other people." Jime said, glancing slightly at Sasuke.
"Done. The wounds on your body are gone eto… Hime-Sama." Said Sasuke who raised his head up to see Shirahosi's face.
' Great… .. Why in this world there are so many monsters and why are women in this world so happy to dress openly?' Sasuke thought while staring at Shirahosi while sweatdrop. Honestly Sasuke is still amazed by this world because there are so many people with abnormal body structure and again now he meets a mermaid that he has never seen before in the world of Shinobi. Sasuke has to admit that the world is much more interesting because he meets a lot of strange but interesting people.
"Arigatou Gozaimasu eto….?" Said Shirahosi who looked down to see Sasuke and put his finger on his chin. Come to think of it, Shirahosi does not yet know the name of someone who has saved him.
"Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke said introducing himself to Shirahosi.
"Ah! Arigatou Sasuke-Sama!" Shirahosi said smiling at Sasuke.
"Shirahosi and Sasuke-San are my friends so don't feel awkward. He's a good person." Jimbe said to Shirahosi with a smile.
"Arigato Jimbe Oyabun-Sama. But I have to save my family. They are all in prison now." Shirahoshi said while crying.
"Tell me everything that happened to Shirahoshi-Sama." Jimbe said to Shirahoshi
Short story many of the locals followed this man and this man made the name of his group which was Akatsuki. The name of the person who did all this is Hoshigaki Kisame. "Shirahoshi said while crying.
"Then why can you be here? Didn't you say all the members of the government are in prison?" Sasuke asked Shirahoshi.
"My presence here is used as an example for those who do not want to follow the Akatsuki then it will end like me." Said Shirahoshi who was still crying.
"Sasuke-San, what should we do?" Jimbe asked Sasuke who seemed to be thinking and planning something.
SRENG! SRENG!
Sasuke immediately removed his kusanag and immediately cut the chain and neck ring that tied around Shirahoshi's neck. Shirahoshi who saw it was shocked and did not think that this was the day when he could be free from the neck ring and feel freedom. Shirahoshi cried again because he was happy.
"A-Arigatou Sasuke-Sama .. You are a kind human being .." Shirahoshi said who kept crying.
"Hime, Ah Shirahoshi-San do you still remember the look and face of this person named Kisame?" Sasuke asked looking at Shirahoshi seriously.
"Uhm ..." Shirahoshi said while nodding his head and rubbing his water -filled eyes.
"Is he a person of the same height as me and a shark -like face?" Sasuke asked trying to make up his mind.
"Uhmm .. And he also uses a big sword and uses a headband. Does Sasuke-Sama know him?" Shirahoshi asked curiously why Sasuke could know the characteristics of Kisame.
"Sasuke-San do you know this Kisame?" Jime asked curiously.
"It seems so. If it's true, then this Kisame is the first person I met and is a pretty tough fighter. He is indeed a very dangerous person and we should stop him before the island is destroyed in his hands. And again I have to hurry to the new world. Jimbe we will go straight to Ryugu's palace and I will immediately finish Kisame. There is nothing to explain anymore. Your island is in danger and all this is happening. " Sasuke said looking at Jimbe seriously.
"Sa-sasuke-Sama don't! You can die!" Said Shirahosi who immediately grabbed Sasuke and lifted Sasuke and placed Sasuke right in front of his big face.
"Shirahoshi don't worry I will restore the ryugu kingdom as before and save your family." Sasuke said while smiling at Shirahoshi.
"Be-really?" Said Shirahoshi who released his grip and placed Sasuke on the palm of his hand.
"Hm. Don't worry and take me to the palace now." Sasuke said.
"WAIT! SASUKE-SAN! At least we have to make a strategy or a plan! We don't even know how many troops he has!" Jimbe shouted from below to Sasuke.
"No amount of them will make them win against me." Sasuke said with a slight grin and sounded a little arrogant in Jimbe's ear.
"Brother and sister are the same. They all always act as they please." Jimbe muttered, rubbing his forehead in annoyance with Sasuke's arrogant attitude.
"Jimbe Oyabun-Sama come with me and Sasuke-Sama and let's save Otou-Sama and the others." Says Shirahoshi
"All right Shirahoshi-Sama!" Jimbe said with a smile.
"Wait let alone we attack the kingdom now." Sasuke said flatly which scared Shirahoshi and Jimbe who moaned in annoyance with the diction used by Sasuke and the three of them went straight to Ryugu's palace.
-X-
(Ryugu Palace)
Inside Ryugu Palace is now seen a man wearing a black robe with a red cloud logo is sitting in a very luxurious chair. His face looks like a shark and he wears a headband that symbolizes or depicts four water spots and there are horizontal scratches on the headband. In front of the man there were four giant fish men whose bodies were already chained and the four of them knelt in front of the man. The four people chained are King Neptune, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi who are the father and half -brother of Shirahoshi.
"Kehehe so are you ready to die this time?" Say the man to the three who are kneeling in front of him.
"Hoshigaki Kisame! What is your real purpose !? Why are you aiming for our kingdom !?" Neptune said angrily.
"Kehehe I just want to have fun and it seems I'm starting to get interested in life here and again it turns out that a lot of people chose me to be king on this island. They chose me Neptune-Sama." Kisame said with a mocking laugh.
"And of course we want to make Kisame-Sama our leader to destroy the entire human race that exists in this world and make them slaves of the fish man." Say one of the people is on the edge of Kisame and he is Hody Jones.
"YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING HAH !?" Fukaboshi shouted at Kisame and his men.
"Of course. So you better be my followers or you'll die here and I'll sell the giant mermaid to Tenryuubito!" Kisame said with a grin to Fukaboshi.
"I SWEAR I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!" Neptune shouted because he was upset with Kisame who kept chasing Shirahoshi.
SRENG! SRENG!
SRENG! SRENG!
DUAAAARRRR!
Suddenly the entrance to the kingdom was immediately split and the door was immediately shattered to pieces. From the smoke that arose due to the destruction of the door, there were shadows of three people in the smoke. The three kept walking and finally came out of the plume of smoke. All the eyes in the room immediately widened because they saw the three people in front of them, especially Kisame. Kisame focused his gaze on the person in the middle and he saw a man with his right eye that was red and his left eye that was purple and had a ripple pattern with some tomoe. Kisame grinned because he knew the man. The man who had beaten his partner before when he was still in the Shinobi world.
"SHIRAHOSHI! JIMBE!" Neptune shouted as he saw Shirahoshi and Jimbe coming to Ryugu's palace.
"OTOU-SAMA!" Shirahoshi cried as she saw her father who was battered and full of wounds.
"SHIRAHOSHI WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE !? HURRY UP!" Fukaboshi shouted the older brother who was worried about Shirahoshi's presence.
"Thank goodness we came on time and you're all alive." Jimbe said, relieved to see that all the members of the kingdom were still alive even though they were badly injured.
"YOU ALL FAST FINISH THEM!" Said Hody Jones who immediately ordered his troops to attack the three but it all stopped when a voice ordered them to stop.
"WAIT!" Kisame shouted and all his troops immediately stopped their steps.
"Ki-Kisame-Sama… Why?" Hody said confused.
"You will all die if you fight them, especially the man. The man with the unique eyes." Kisame said with a grin.
Everyone in the palace immediately focused their attention on the man Kisame meant and the hair on their necks trembled because if their leader said so, then surely the man was a strong man. Neptune and his children looked at Sasuke with a confused and curious look.
"I didn't expect to meet you here Sasuke-San." Kisame said with a smile.
"." Sasuke who heard this did not reply to Kisame's words and he walked closer to Neptune and his chained children.
SRENG! SRENG! SRENG! SRENG!
Sasuke immediately cut the chains that bound their bodies and finally Neptune and his children were free from the shackles of the chains. Kisame who saw it was still smiling and didn't care too much about it.
"W-Why did you save us?" Say Neptune who still doesn't believe in what just happened.
"W-who are you?" Fukaboshi asked, noticing Sasuke.
"What is your purpose in saving us? Do you want to take over this work?" Ryuboshi said to Sasuke.
"We'll talk about all that later." Sasuke said flatly without looking at them.
"YOU THINK WHO ARE YOU HAH !? YOU'RE JUST A WEAK HUMAN AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DEFEAT US FISH HUMANS! KILL YOU!" Said Hody Jones who immediately attacked Sasuke. Sasuke immediately activated his right in his right hand and Amaterasu's spark enveloped his right hand.
BUAGH!
"UAAAGHHHH!" Hody shouted in pain from Sasuke's blow. Hody felt a very painful blow and felt something burn his stomach and he immediately bounced out of the Palace and lost consciousness.
"HE BEAT HODY-SAME WITH ONE BLOW!" The whole Hody team shouted, widening their eyes so that their eyes seemed to come out because they were shocked to see their captain defeated so easily.
"Sasuke-Sama is amazing ..." Shirahoshi said amazed at Sasuke's strength.
"Yahh he's amazing." Jimbe replied that he wasn't surprised to see Sasuke's strength because he had seen something more powerful than the blow before.
"This man is amazing ..." said Neptune who gaped in disbelief at what he saw. 1 year he suffered from the treatment of Hody and Kisame but the man in front of him beat Hody very easily.
"Hooo it looks like you're very angry Sasuke-San .." Kisame said while grinning and stood up and walked towards Sasuke.
"Why can you be here?" Sasuke asked in a flat tone.
"Hmmm I don't remember exactly the chronology that I remember committing suicide and all of a sudden I woke up in this place." Kisame said and took his sword and prepared to fight.
"Samehada ...?" Sasuke murmured confused why Kisame still had Samehada because as far as Sasuke knew, Samehada had been used by Killer Bee.
"This isn't Samehada you know. I made it myself by skinning some fish humans here and the results are pretty good hahaha." Kisame said while laughing.
"We're fighting outside ..." said Sasuke who put his kusanag in his glove again and walked towards the outside of the palace.
All the people who were there were silent in a thousand languages because they did not understand what was really happening. They don't understand why Kisame let Sasuke let go of Neptune's family just like that and let Sasuke beat Hody just like that. They were confused whether Kisame knew Sasuke well because from their speaking style, they seemed to already know each other.
"Jimbe protect your people. I'll get rid of the shark man quickly." Sasuke said that to Jimbe and still walked towards the outside of the palace.
"SASUKE-SAMA! PLEASE SAVE THIS ISLAND!" Shirahoshi shouted at Sasuke while shedding tears. Because for Shirahoshi this was the right momentum to free his people from the cruel rule of Kisame who took over the island for a year and during that year they lived in misery and fear.
"Hn." Sasuke said briefly and smiled at Shirahoshi and slowly he was already out of the palace and waiting for Kisame.
"You're all lucky .. Looks like I'm going to die here hahah." Said Kisame who lifted his legs and walked following Sasuke out of the Palace.
Hearing Kisame's words, all his troops swallowed and their bodies trembled because they were afraid that what the leader had just said would come true. The members of the Ryugu kingdom immediately walked out out of curiosity about the fight that would take place between Kisame and the man who saved them.
-X-
Now Sasuke and Kisame are outside the palace. They stood facing each other and looked at each other. The inhabitants of the fish man island also gathered at the place and wanted to witness the battle between the foreign men brought by Jimbe and their cruel new ruler, Kisame.
"Looks like our fight is going to be an interesting spectacle for them. Should I make them pay tickets to watch this?" Kisame asked Sasuke.
"What do you think you're doing in this world huh !?" Sasuke said angrily at seeing Kisame's brutal behavior and taking over someone's kingdom by force.
"Don't you think Sasuke-San? I want to resurrect the Akatsuki spirit in this world. Maybe the akatsuki failed in the Shinobi world but the akatsuki's determination and purpose will continue and I think this world is a good place to rebuild the akatsuki." Say Kisame
"Don't I think that I will definitely stop you and this stupid act of yours?" Sasuke said while activating his Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Those eyes remind me of your older brother Uchiha Itachi. I can't believe you were able to kill him at that moment Khehehe." Kisame said with a grin.
Everyone who or rather the fish man who was there and heard Kisame's words had just started wondering about who Sasuke really was and again Kisame said that Sasuke killed his own brother. Jimbe who heard that was shocked because Jimbe didn't know that Sasuke had a brother and why did Sasuke kill his own brother?
Sasuke who heard Kisame's words immediately narrowed his eyes and took his kusanag.
"You better not bring up the story here." Sasuke said with emphasis which indicated that he was currently angry.
"Kehehe interesting! Well I will fight you here and also I want to know who is stronger between you and your sister." Said Kisame who immediately threw Samehadanya up and made a hand seal.
SUITON: BAKUSUI SOHA!
Kisame immediately released his move and from his mouth he let out a large spray of water from his mouth and caused the surrounding area to be filled with water and become a lake. For the fish humans who were there it was certainly not a big deal considering they were basically fish that were able to move freely and breathe in the water but they were shocked when they saw Sasuke and Kismae who were able to stand on the water.
"Looks like your fighting style hasn't changed Kisame." Sasuke said flatly and looked at Kisame seriously.
"I'm a shark and an advantage to me when fighting in the waters." Reply Kisame who caught Samehadanya that he had just thrown up.
KATON: GOKAKYUU NO JUTSU!
Sasuke immediately made a hand seal and immediately sprayed fireballs towards Kisame. Kisame who saw it just grinned and made a hand seal.
SUITON: SUIJIN HEKI!
Kisame immediately made a wall of water in front of him to protect him from Sasuke's attack and eventually the fireball hit the wall of water and caused a fairly large explosion. Kisame immediately ran towards Sasuke and immediately pointed his sword at Sasuke. Sasuke swiftly immediately held him with his kusanaginya
TRANG!
The sound of swords fighting was heard and the ground that Sasuke stepped on was cracked due to the greatness of Kisame's power.
"Finally I found an enemy worthy to fight!" Kisame said with a grin.
CHIDORI!
Sasuke immediately activated his Chidor and he channeled it into his sword and made it enveloped by an electric current. Kisame who saw that immediately jumped back to avoid Sasuke's attack because he knew that the Samehada he had now was not the original so he was unable to absorb one's chakra.
SUITON: GOSHOKUZAME!
Kisame put his hand on the surface of the water below and slowly five large sharks made of water appeared and immediately attacked Sasuke.
KATON: GORYUUKA NO JUTSU!
Sasuke, who did not want to lose, immediately sprayed fire from his mouth, the pi fund formed five dragon heads and the two jutsu collided and created a huge explosion. Sasuke immediately rushed towards Kisame and immediately attacked him with his kusanaginya. Kisame stopped Sasuke's attack with Samehadanya and tried to hit Sasuke with his other hand. Sasuke who saw that immediately held Kisame's fist with his hand. Seeing that Sasuke immediately tried to kick Kisame but before that happened Kisame had jumped backwards.
Sasuke immediately threw his sword at Kisame who was jumping and Kisame immediately repelled Sasuke's kusanagi and threw Sasuke's kusanagi up with Samehadanya.
SRING!
Suddenly the kusanagi that was floating on Kisame turned into Sasuke who was ready to attack Kisame with his kick.
BUAGH!
As a result, Kisame was hit by Sasuke's kick and he bounced a few meters and hit a wall. All the fish humans who witnessed it were all shocked and amazed, especially Shirahoshi and Neptune who saw Kisame successfully attacked.
"He managed to attack Kisame!"
"That man is so strong!"
"Does this mean the fish -man island will be free of Kisame?"
The whispers were heard from the fish-humans who had gathered and were watching a fight that would arguably determine their fate in the future.
"Cough cough!" Kisame groaned in pain and coughed up blood. Kisame was now holding his chest and trying to stand up.
"Give up you won't win against me!" Said Sasuke who approached Kisame.
"Souka .. It seems that what Itachi-San said is true .. You are much stronger than him but that doesn't mean I will lose just like that." Kisame said holding his palms together like a person praying
SUITON: SUIKOUDAN NO JUTSU!
Kisame made hundreds of sharks made of water and the sharks immediately moved towards Sasuke like a missile or a missile because the movement of the shark was very fast and could explode. Sasuke kept jumping around to avoid the shark missile.
"STILL NOT FINISHED! SUITON: SENJIKIZAME !" Said Kisame who returned to release his move and now thousands of water sharks appeared that directly attacked Sasuke who was busy avoiding the shark missile recently.
Sasuke was a little surprised by the sheer number of sharks that were chasing him. Sasuke of course wanted to end this fight quickly with the moves he had but considering this is a fish man island inhabited by a lot of people then Sasuke was looking for a way to minimize damage and a little restraint and not issue moves that deal big damage.
SRING!
BOOOOM!
Sasuke for losing a little focus was hit by a shark attack from Kisame which caused him to bounce a little and his clothes to tear a little. Shirahoshi who saw Sasuke being attacked rolled his eyes.
"SASUKE-SAMA!" Shirahoshi shouted while crying because he was worried and couldn't bear to see the person who saved him bounce like that.
"Sasuke-San!" Jimbe's shout immediately caught Sasuke as Sasuke bounced towards Jimbe.
"Cih!" Said Sasuke who felt a little pain in his arm.
"Are you okay? Your arm is bleeding!" Jimbe asked, worried about Sasuke's condition because only this time Jimbe saw Sasuke bleeding in a fight.
"Sasuke-Sama stop I don't want to see you hurt!" Said Shirahoshi who immediately approached Sasuke and begged Sasuke to stop fighting.
"It's not because he's strong but I just don't want my attack to damage this island. Shirahoshi, Jimbe and the members of the kingdom don't worry about me. I'll finish this right now." Say Sasuke who is getting ready to fight back.
"Young man, Hoshigaki Kisame is a very strong and dangerous man. We fish humans have been suffering for a year because of his actions. Are you sure you can defeat him?" Neptune said looking at Sasuke hopefully.
"Hn. And he's lost now AMATERASU! " Said Sasuke who closed his eyes and focused his left eye on Kisame who was walking towards him.
"UAAAAGHHHHHHH!" The ceiling immediately fell and rolled on the water as it was burned by Amaterasu's fire. Everyone who saw it immediately opened their eyes in disbelief to see a Hoshigaki Kisame moaning in such pain and what made them confused was why the black fire did not go out even though Kisame was in the water.
The black fire of the uterus burned Kisame's body and slowly Kisame was no longer moving and he was now floating in the water with very severe burns and with a gaping mouth. Sasuke who saw that immediately extinguished his Amateras.
"O-oi"
"Kisame"
"The man is…."
"HOSHIGAKI KISAME HAS BEEN DEFEATED!"
"UOOOOOOOOOO!"
All the fish people who were there immediately rejoiced and jumped around and hugged each other because this was the day they were waiting for. It has been a year since they felt terror under the Kisame government but maybe today is the last day they feel that suffering and they will return to normal life.
"SASUKE-SAMA!" Shirahoshi immediately grabbed Sasuke and placed Sasuke near his cheek and rubbed Sasuke against his cheek. Maybe for Shirahoshi it was a hug of affection but for another Sasuke it was because he felt pain being rubbed by a giant and added to Shirahoshi's tears that kept pouring and wetting Sasuke's whole body.
"ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU! ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!" Shirahoshi said as he kept rubbing his cheek against Sasuke's body.
"Aa-ah and please release me!" Said Sasuke who tried to break free from Shirahosi's grip.
"Shirahoshi-Sama, you should let go of Sasuke-San. His body is soaking wet from your tears." Jimbe said with a smile
"Ee-eh? FORGIVE ME SASUKE-SAMA!" Shirahosi shouted which immediately released Sasuke and placed Sasuke in the palm of his hand.
"Sucks!" Murmured Sasuke who immediately took off his robe and squeezed it because it was wet. Shirahoshi who heard that Sasuke said it was annoying immediately put on a sad face because he felt that Sasuke called himself annoying.
"Me-sucks? I-I suck? HUUAAAAAAAAAA!" Shirahoshi immediately cried out loud because sadly it was said to be annoying by Sasuke.
"Shirahoshi!" Neptune said worried about seeing Shirahoshi crying so hard.
"Shi-Shirahoshi-Sama! Sasuke-San what are you doing !?" Jimbe shouted at Sasuke in panic to see Shirahoshi crying loudly.
"Aa-what? I didn't do anything! This woman is whining!" Said Sasuke who shouted in panic because he was now the main suspect who allegedly made Shirahoshi cry.
Everyone who heard it immediately raised their hands and opened their mouths wide in shock and shock. There was a man who dared to insult the princess of the fish -man kingdom like that.
"Ce-cengeng !? HUAAAAAAAA!" Shirahoshi who heard Sasuke say he whined immediately cried again and this time louder and made everyone there angry.
"OI MAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HAH !?"
"DARE YOU INSULT PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI LIKE THAT!"
"HURRY UP AND APOLOGIZE NOW!"
"SASUKE-SAN QUICKLY APOLOGIZE!" Jimbe said to Sasuke who saw the fish humans start to look down on Sasuke. Sasuke who heard it all just put on his annoyed face and took a deep breath.
"Shirahoshi stopped crying." Sasuke said flatly and looked at Shirahoshi coldly.
"Mmmmmmm ..." Shirahoshi who heard that immediately stopped crying and tried to hold back his tears by puffing his cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Said Sasuke who turned his face away because he was embarrassed to look at Shirahoshi more precisely the prestige. Sasuke rarely apologizes to anyone let alone just for a small problem like this.
"Uhmmm!" Shirahoshi said who just nodded and still puffed his cheeks because he was still trying to hold back his cries.
After Shirahoshi stopped crying, everyone there began to look up and see Sasuke in Shirahoshi's palm. The followers of Kisame who wore akatsuki robes immediately knelt down and cried because after this they would surely receive a very severe punishment from King Neptune. Meanwhile, the fish humans who became Kisame's slaves slowly took whatever items were near them for them to use as weapons and pointed them at Sasuke. Of course they are happy because someone managed to defeat Kisame but at the same time they are not happy because the person who defeated Kisame is an ordinary human being that they hate. Sasuke who realized he was being the center of attention glanced down.
"W-What's your purpose here ...?"
"Do you want to take over this island?"
"Ja-don't ever dream of selling and enslaving us again, we'd rather die here!"
Shouts after shouts from the fish -humans were heard very clearly. Jimbe who heard that just gritted his teeth because he was annoyed and didn't know what to do. Even though he said that Sasuke was a good person, of course they wouldn't believe it. Neptune, who remained silent, finally opened his voice and tried to approach Sasuke.
"Young man .. What is the purpose of coming to this island? Every human who comes to this island must make a fuss and always kidnap the mermaids here. Do you have similar intentions?" Neptune asked Sasuke who was standing on Shirahoshi's palm.
"…" Sasuke who heard that just kept quiet. Sasuke immediately walked over to Shirahoshi's index finger and sat on the tip of Shirahoshi's index finger. He lifted one leg up and put one hand on his knee and one leg was left hanging down. Sasuke looked at the fish man who was staring at him in fear.
"Why are you so scared?" Sasuke asked all the fish humans below him.
"BECAUSE YOU ARE HUMAN! HUMAN BEINGS ALWAYS SELL US AND TREAT US UNQUALIFIED!" Shouted one of the fish men as he cried.
"Which human are you talking about?" Sasuke asked back flat and stared at them with a cold stare.
"ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE SAME! THEY JUST MAKE US FISH HUMANS AS THEIR SLAVES! THEY ALWAYS LOOK DOWN ON US AND STAY AWAY FROM US! THE FISH HUMAN RACE IS THE RACE THAT MOST OFTEN EXPERIENCES DISCRIMINATION" AND THAT'S ALL HUMAN BEINGS! Shouted one of the fish men.
"Hn .. So you also hate me because I'm human?" Sasuke asked.
"OF COURSE! I SAID ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE SAME!"
"ALL HUMANS JUST WANT TO SLAVE THE HUMAN RACE OF FISH AND TREAT THEM LIKE ANIMALS!"
"I DID NOT EVEN HAVE BEEN SOLD TO A MAN AND THEY DO IT TO ME IT WAS beat AND ALWAYS TOUCHED MY BODY! THEY bought me like a thing! THEY ARE INTERESTED TO ME BECAUSE I AM THE Duyung And they told me to satisfy their lust EVEN I AM FORCED TO CLEAN THE DIRT THEY profusely ! "
Sasuke who heard it all fell silent and did not know what else to say. Indeed, Jimbe had explained to him about the discrimination against the fish man race in this world, but when Sasuke heard immediately the complaints of the fish man who had been the victim of torture for some reason Sasuke's heart ached. It was as if Sasuke could feel what they were feeling. Sasuke could understand the grief they were going through and also the harassment they were going through. Their case is more or less the same as Hancock's. Sasuke saw that the Shinobi world was the most cruel world because there were only fights, wars and death but when Sasuke entered this world, Sasuke felt that this world was more cruel. Sasuke never imagined there was a very cruel system of slavery applied in this world.
"Then did I ever sell you?" Sasuke asked the fish man.
The fish man who heard Sasuke's question immediately fell silent.
"Did I ever torture you?" Sasuke continued.
Slowly the fish humans lowered their heads as if pondering Sasuke's question.
"Have I ever harassed you? Or have I ever enslaved you or forced you to do something you do not want to do? Have I ever said that I will take over this kingdom?" Sasuke asked.
The fishmongers dropped their weapons and bowed their heads for not being able to see Sasuke. They tried to understand what Sasuke's words meant.
"Slavery, harassment, torture and other immoral acts also happen to us human beings and not only to you human beings. Fellow human beings also often enslave other human beings and torture fellow human beings. I know the pain and sorrow you experience. But what you must understand. is this world is very vast and not all humans are evil.I won't hate all fish humans just because there is one fish man that hurts me because I know not all fish humans are evil.Don't you guys think that you fish humans are a very special race in This world? You can even live on land and in the sea which we humans cannot do. " Sasuke said to the fish man.
"Ka-you don't understand. We fish humans have tried to make friends with humans but they don't want us and are disgusted with us. The location of this island shows that we are a low class race so the location of our island is at the bottom of the world is different with Marijois or other nobles above. " Say one of the crying fish men.
"Then try harder. If you want to be a great person then all you have to do is be stronger than before. I hate to say this but you have to see the fact that the weak will always be oppressed because that is the system applied by the government. in this world.The governments of the world consider themselves strong and they always oppress the weak.This world is already ruled by garbage and the natural system that applies in this world is like garbage.This discrimination is created by the rulers of this world and all you have to do is fight it and show them that you are a strong race. " Sasuke said.
"Sasuke-Sama…" Shirahoshi muttered looking at Sasuke in admiration. Shirahoshi for the first time saw there was a great, strong, kind and cool human being like Sasuke. For Shirahoshi Sasuke was the first good man he saw.
"Sasuke-San ..." Jimbe said folding his arms and smiling and closing his eyes. Jimbe doesn't think that Sasuke is someone who can change someone's point of view with his words.
"This man…" Neptune muttered smiling at Sasuke. It was the first time Neptune had seen a human encouraging a fish man.
"I have no intention of taking over this kingdom or enslaving you here. I just stopped by here with my friend Jimbe and I am heading to a new world. I will leave here as soon as possible and for the followers of Kisame I leave it to you because you have the right to decide Their fate and I will not interfere in it. Jimbe I think I will go now I leave the rest to you. " Said Sasuke who immediately jumped from Shirahoshi's hand and started walking away from the fish man island.
"WAIT!" Say one of the fish men to Sasuke.
"Hm?" Said Sasuke who stopped his step and looked back slightly.
"Did you help us for nothing without expecting anything in return?" One of the fish humans asked Sasuke.
"Hm." Sasuke said briefly and nodded.
"Not wrong anymore .."
"Yahh .. he's the one we're waiting for .."
"Someone who helps others without expecting anything in return."
"HE'S A HERO!"
"UUUUOOOOOOOOOOO!
"HERO-SAMA!" All the fish humans who were there immediately cheered and jumped for joy because they had found a hero.
"Huh?" Sasuke muttered as he sweatdropped because he didn't understand what was happening. He had just been threatened and hated by all the fish people here but suddenly he was adored like a king.
"Hero-Sama…?" Shirahoshi muttered looking at Sasuke with a smile because from this second Shirahoshi will consider Sasuke as his hero and the hero of the fish man island.
"Looks like you've made a big change on this island ..." Jimbe said to Sasuke with a smile.
"Actually, this is not what I expected ..." Sasuke said with a gloomy look because Sasuke knew that if he was considered a hero, then his life would be very troublesome. He had seen Naruto's life after he became the hero of the Shinobi world and it was very annoying where there would be a lot of stalks who kept following and would make his life even more disrupted.
"" THANK YOU SASUKE HERO-SAMA HAS SAVED US AND RELEASED US FROM THE HANDS OF HOSHIGAKI KISAME! "" Everyone there bowed to Sasuke.
"Aa-ah .. Don't think about it .." Sasuke said stammering because he didn't know what to do in a situation like this.
"Young man, ah no, Sasuke-San I invite you to my palace and let's chat in my palace. I want to get to know the people who are considered heroes by my people more closely." Neptune said to Sasuke with a smile
"Okay .. Looks like I can't resist .." Sasuke said resignedly because he knew that Neptune would definitely force him to come to his palace.
"Jimbe you come with me too." Say Neptune to Jimbe ..
"All right Neptune-Sama .." Jimbe said ..
"You go in first. I'll take care of Kisame's body first." Said Sasuke who walked towards where Kisame's body was lying.
-X-
Now Sasuke had entered Ryugu's palace and had been treated to lavish food and service by King Neptune's servants. Sasuke who saw it was just sweating down because Sasuke felt this was very excessive moreover Sasuke did not expect this all he wanted was just a ship to go to the new world no more and no less. But Neptune continued to force Sasuke to accept all this as a form of thanks and Sasuke finally agreed to all that.
Now Neptune, Shirahoshi, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, Jimbe and Sasuke are sitting in the royal dining room and are enjoying a dessert.
"Sasuke-San once again I thank you for saving us all from Kisame." Fukaboshi said to Sasuke.
"Hm." Sasuke said briefly with a nod of his head.
"Sasuke Hero-Sama did you enjoy his food?" Shirahoshi asked Sasuke. I don't know why Shirahoshi didn't dare to look at Sasuke while talking to him and when talking to Sasuke his face was always red.
"Hm. Thank you." Sasuke said briefly back.
"Why are you so eloquent in speaking?" Jimbe asked, glancing at Sasuke angrily because Jimbe never understood Sasuke's very cold and quiet nature. Jimbe always wondered what made Sasuke rarely speak.
"Then what should I say?" Sasuke asked who was also surprised because Sasuke thought the answer was quite polite and clear why it should be extended again?
"Hahaha it looks like you're not the one who talks a lot Sasuke-San. We spent a year suffering because of Kisame's actions but you can beat him in just an hour." Neptune said smiling at Sasuke.
"Hm! That's not enough." Sasuke said with a grin because he was happy that his strength was praised by others.
"It seems that the rumors circulating are true that you are a pirate whose power is equal to that of the Yonkou." Ryuboshi said smiling at Sasuke.
"Hm. I plan to fight him. That's why I'm going to a new world." Sasuke said while drinking his tea.
"Sasuke-San are you sure to fight him alone?" Jimbe asked Sasuke who was worried because all his life Jimbe had only heard that someone was challenging Yonkou alone. Usually the pirates challenge Yonkou by bringing his members or allies and if Sasuke manages to defeat one of the Yonkou alone then this will be a new record in the history of pirates that will probably never be broken by anyone.
"Hm. Everyone I'm stretching because I haven't fought seriously in a long time." Sasuke said casually as if this wasn't a big deal.
"Then when are you going?" Neptune asked Sasuke.
"Right now." Said Sasuke who immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"EHHHHHHH !? Sasuke Hero-Sama why have to be this fast? You've only only 4 hours to set foot on this island. Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you stay longer? I want to get to know you closer." Shirahoshi asked, slowly shedding tears because she was sad that Sasuke would leave.
"Shirahoshi don't call me a hero anymore and as I said my purpose to this island is just to buy a ship and go to a new world. So I can't stay here too long. My time is limited." Say Sasuke seriously.
"Aa-are we going to meet again?" Shirahoshi asked looking at Sasuke with a sad face.
"Hm." Sasuke said with a smile. Shirahoshi who saw Sasuke smiling immediately turned his face that was already red.
"Shirahoshi don't say you like Sasuke-San?" Fukaboshi asked Shirahoshi.
"EEEEHH !? Etoo…. Anooooo…" Shirahoshi just muttered vaguely and played with his index finger and his face blushed in embarrassment. Everyone in the room immediately shook and rolled their eyes.
"O-oi .." Manboshi said ..
"Shirahohsi .. you…" Ryubohsi said
"Don't" Fukaboshi said.
"Ti-it's not possible ..." said Jimbe who was suddenly sweating coldly from trying to deny something that seemed certain.
"Do you like Sasuke-san?" Neptune asked in a trembling tone.
"KIYAAAA!" Shirahoshi shouted cutely as he covered his already red face with both hands.
"" "EEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !?" ""
"Really troublesome…."
