Journey to One Piece

58. Don Krieg vs. Lightning

"Don't make decisions for myself, you old bag." Sanji shouted from behind but none paid attention to it. The whole conversation was heard by Don Krieg and others too. He clenched his fists as felt humiliated and disrespected by these guys who belonged to the same group as Zoro.

Krieg pulled off the robe and opened his shoulder plates which unveiled two small machine guns on both of his shoulders. With no warning he opened fire at Luffy and others. Nami and Usopp were horrified to see such a sudden outburst.

"Suiton: Suijinheki" (Water style : Water Barrier)

Luffy did a quick hand sign and the sea water that was between Krieg and Luffy suddenly rose up at ultra fast speed and made a thick water barrier between them and Krieg. The water barrier was thick enough to stop the bullets. The others who were spectating this were flabbergasted seeing another weird power from another member of the same group.

No, this wasn't a weird power. This was ninja!!

So cool!!!

"Big Brother, you are a ninja? Why didn't you say so before.. Big Brother after this battle I would want an autograph from you."

"Yes Big Brother, I also want one."

"Me too!!

"Everybody step aside!! the Straw Hat boy would give me an autograph because I will pay him 1000 bellies."

"Hahaha I will pay him 2000 bellies and I will be the first to get the autograph of a ninja."

Such shouts and proclamations were ringing all around. Some of the people who wanted autographs belonged to the crew of Don Krieg. He was trembling in his place to see no one was paying attention to the fact that his bullets and his move proved nothing in front of his opponent. And on top of this his own crew was mesmerised by the opponent's tricks. How shameful!!

"Hahaha... I will give anyone who asks for it... Hahahaha." Luffy looked particularly very happy that everyone considered him a superstar. He himself would get excited from time to time by his own power.

"Who the hell are you?" Krieg shouted.

"Me? I am Monkey D. Luffy. I am the person who is going to be the Pirate King. Hehehe.." Luffy said.

But this time nobody burst out laughing because the autograph of a ninja was more important than the funny thing that they just heard. Who knows maybe the ninja had what it takes to be a Pirate King.

"Are you bullshitting me?"

Don Krieg took out his small shield and pointed it at Luffy. He had poison balls and heavy bullets stored in the armor which he could shoot. He shot all of them at Luffy and his crew who were still having fun.

The water barrier had already evaporated so there was nothing to stop the bullets from doing harm to Luffy. Ken had already sensed the attack so he dodged the bullets while making sure Nami and Usopp were fine.

Meanwhile the bullets struck the body of Luffy.

"Ninja-san.."

"My autograph..."

Everyone cried out loud seeing Luffy being struck by bullets, but next astonishing thing happened. The body of Luffy turned into a log of wood with just a puff of smoke.

"Nani?"

"What the hell?"

"Is this the legendary Substitution Jutsu?"

The next moment Luffy appeared on a high floor near the place Red Foot Zeff was standing. He didn't even see when Luffy had appeared near him.

"That was close." Luffy sighed as he seemed like he did a tough job.

"Kid.. Are you really a ninja?" Zeff asked with curiosity. He could label the water technique to some kind of Devil Fruit, but not this replacement of his body with a log of wood.

"Of course, I can walk on water, hang on walls and carry out various kinds of jutsus."

Don Krieg was more astonished than any one. He didn't expect this skinny guy to really be a ninja. Others could be gullible and stupid but what Luffy did was not something that could be explained by simple Devi Fruit.

"What kind of person are you?"

"I am a ninja and a person who ate the Rubber Fruit." Luffy said as he stretched his mouth to show how his body was made of rubber.

"Fuck!!!"

"Oye Luffy, please solve this guy quickly. We have other places to go." Ken shouted.

"Yes Yes, we need to eat the good food that our cook is going to make."

"Don't make a decision for me!!" Sanji protested again.

Luffy jumped out from the upper floor and landed straight near Don Krieg who was looking at him with an angry glare. Twice he attacked and twice he made a fool of himself. This was unforgivable.

He took two of his round shields and joined them with its open side facing each other. And then from the middle of the two shields a spear came out.

This was the signature weapon of Don Krieg. This spear blasts whenever the tip of the spear touches something, so in other words the spear was like a blasting tool.

In response Luffy brought out 8 kunai from his small bag and hooked each of them into his fingers. The spectators eyes were more shining when they saw Luffy bring out the famous kunai which was exclusive for the ninja.

"What are you going to do with those small kunai? This armor is unbreakable."

"We will see to that.. Hehehe.." Luffy commented. The tip of the kunai was glowing with sharp light as Krieg was running towards him to use his spear on Luffy. After a second of wait Luffy threw the kunai at the charging Krieg. All the 8 kunai hit right at the golden armor of Krieg.

"Junsei Raikou Kunai no Jutsu" (Pure Lightning Kunai Technique)

This was a special technique of Luffy that he had developed over the years. Lightning and fire had always been his favorite as he seemed to be naturally attracted to them, probably due to his Devil Fruit. Due to the lightning chakra, the tip of the kunai had pure concentrated lightning and it would go through most of the forms of metal and even do damage after crossing that threshold.
