A young boy in search of the Greatest Adventure, Naruto joined the Straw Hats alongside his Older Brother figure Kurama. He dreams of having the Greatest Adventure and seeing the World, but don't let that fool you he would do anything to protect those he holds close, though it never seems to get him noticed by the Marines.
The Fighter / Secondary Emergency Food Supply - Ōtsutsuki D. "Hellfire" Kurama - 68,000,000 Beli
One of the nine Biju, Kurama recently discovered his origins and true abilities and has decided to aid his little brother in any way he can. Although he hated humans, he had slowly opened up to Naruto becoming something of an older brother. He is willing to defend his new friends, who accepted him as he is, until the very end. He even developed a perverseness that could rival Sanji and Brook.
"Ugggghhh!" Naruto groaned while he, Kurama (now in human form), Chopper Usopp and Luffy hung over the port side rail of the ship. Once again they were out of food, four guesses why. "This is so boring. How long have we been at this?" he asked.
"About ten minutes." Usopp replied
"Arrgghh!" Luffy groaned this time. "It feels like it's been forever…"he looked over to see Nami leaning against the rail outside the kitchen. "OI NAMI!" he cried out.
The Orange haired beauty looked over at the fishing quintet, specifically her Captain before a rubbery hand grabbed the rail next to her. BWOING-SNAP Luffy pulled himself up next to Nami and wrapped his arms around her from behind before she could react.
"Luffy, how many times do I have to tell you not wrap your arms around me?"
"Always one more time," Luffy replied bringing his head onto her left shoulder "Means I get to hear your voice more." Nami smiled and proceeded to kiss Luffy on the cheek, only for the Captain to return the Kiss full on the mouth.
"Yuck!" Naruto, Chopper, Kurama and Usopp said all together while making disgusted faces at the couple.
"I don't get it. Why does Luffy want to spend more time with Nami?" Naruto questioned.
"Who knows?" Kurama replied "But our Quintet might as well be called a quartet from now on."
"I get that they're engaged and all but come on! At the rate they're going Luffy's gonna get Cooties, and real bad."
"Cooties?" Chopper asked turning to Naruto and Kurama "That sounds like a very serious disease!"
"Chopper you're like eighteen. You should know about the Birds and the Bees." Usopp replied
"What do Birds and Bees have to do with Cooties?" Chopper asked Naruto also looked equally confused.
"I'll handle this one 'Captain' Usopp" Kurama said stopping Usopp from saying any ridiculous lies to Chopper "You see Chopper when a Mommy and Daddy love each other a lot they-" Chopper and Naruto didn't hear the rest as two pairs of arms sprouted out of their heads and covered their ears, enough to block out all sound.
Over on the grassy deck of the ship Robin reclined in a lawn chair reading a book while Sanji stood over her with a sun umbrella and a drink. Naruto and Chopper both turned to the older woman who in turn gave them both a warm motherly smile.
"Hey Guys there's an Island off the port bow!" Franky's voice came over the transponder snails.
"That means we won't have to fish for food!" Kurama cheered "Praise to the Lord and his miracles!"
"I never would have guessed you to be a religious type." Usopp said to Kurama
"You'd be surprised." Kurama replied "There's a lot about me you don't know."
"Yeah, but there's more about you that we do know." Naruto said.
"Oh Shut up!" Kurama yelled
"What!? An Island?" Their rubber captain exclaimed excitedly. He ran to the port side of the ship and looked out onto the horizon. Sure enough an Island was sitting off in the distance, maybe fifty kilometers away. "Oi Nami is that the next Island?" Luffy asked his fiancé.
The orange haired woman raised the log pose to her eyelevel and looked through the center needle, it was pointing directly at the Island. "It sure is Captain." She replied.
It has been said that there are Islands on the Grand Line that exist in multiple worlds at once and act as gateways between them. Many people have passed through these gateways without noticing, never see their homes again. Unbeknownst to the Straw Hat pirates their greatest adventure is about to begin on one such Island the Straw Hats arrived at truly was a natural wonder. The Island itself cannot truly be called an Island as it was actually five islands grouped together. From both the Sky and the Sea one could truly grasp the shape of the Islands.
To the west was an Island in the shape of a Fork, this Island was covered in thick forests covering 9000 km2. In the East was an island shaped like a knife. Just like the Fork Island this small island was covered in 9000km2 forests. To the north was an Island in the shape of a spoon. The spoon bowl itself was filled with fresh water while the rest of the Island was rocky with a few trees here and there, which wasn't much considering the lake took up 3/4 of the island. To the North West was a circular Island that was home to a single solitary peak reaching 5000 meters with liquid gravy flowing down the sides to its potato shores. In the North east was an Island remarkably in the shape of a circle from above but from sea level one could see it's true shape as a wine glass. Most of this Island was just sheer cliffs with the exception of the top of the rock formation 4000 meters up. At the top was a plateau of grass, trees and even a small lake all of this in an area of 100 km2. Finally the Island in the center was a large circle like a dinner plate with white sandy beaches all the way around, a massive green field large Mountains reaching 3000 meters high and a small city roughly 50 km2. Each of these Islands was interconnected with the central island through bridges, old railways and an intricate collection of tunnels running underground, connecting each Island. All the smaller Islands were roughly 10,000 km2 the main Island was roughly 25,000 km2. Countless species of animals and plants called this Archipelago their home. Humans only live in the city located on the coast of the Main Island for the beasts were too dangerous for them to handle.
The Thousand Sunny was currently anchored just of the shore to the main island and all eleven pirates found themselves relaxing on the white beach.
"HEY GUYS! CHECK IT OUT!" Luffy yelled. All the Straw Hats turned to him to see their idiot captain surfing on a wave. Normally a completely suicidal thing to do when you have a Devil Fruit ability (or two in Luffy's case) the Straw Hat captain seemed well enough prepared.
Luffy was sporting Blue swim trunks with red flowers, and his Straw Hat hanging around his neck. He was also wearing red water wings on is arms and a large orange and white inflatable tube around his waist.
The wave was a fairly large wave and the Straw Hat was riding it like a pro.
"Be careful Luffy!" Nami yelled out to him. The navigator wore her hair in a ponytail and was wearing a green two piece bikini. Nami was relaxing in a beach chair underneath a large umbrella.
"He'll be fine Nami." Robin said not even looking up from her book. The Archaeologist was wearing a purple beach dress with wisteria flowers on it over a black bikini. She also wore blade sunglasses and sun hat. "If he falls in the water, the waves will bring him back to shore before he drowns."
"That's reassuring, I guess." Nami said with a sweat drop
"That is of course if the undertow doesn't pull him out to sea first." Robin added
'There we go…' Nami thought
"NAMI-SWAN~~~! ROBIN-CHWAN~~~~!" Sanji yelled as he flew towards them, his legs transforming into a mini cyclone and somehow producing pink hearts. "LUNCH IS READY~~~!" The Pirate cook stopped in front of the two women, holding out a tray before each of them. Sanji wore an open yellow polka doted shirt with blue swim trunks decorated with a large pink heart on the left leg.
"Thank you Sanji." Robin said tipping her glass off to Sanji
"Yes,Thank you Sanji-kun" Nami said
"I LIVE ONLY TO SERVE!"
"Hey Robin!" Naruto cried the black haired woman turned to them. Naruto wore only orange shorts with a black union jack on the right leg.
"Check out our Castle!" Chopper squealed in delight. The Little reindeer was wearing nothing but a pair of pink shorts, while Kurama was in his human form wearing black shorts with red flowers on them.
All three of them were trying to make a Sand Castle. It was nothing more than a simple sand mound with five bucket shaped sand piles on it, the one in the middle being the highest. Out of each tower flew a seagull feather.
"That's really good." Robin said "what's it called?"
"What?" all three boys asked confused
"Most Great Castles have names." Robin replied
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I got one!" Kurama said happily he reached into his swim trunks pocket and pulled out a little red flag on a stick. "This castle shall be named Castle Kurama!" he said as he stuck the flag into the highest tower. "So says King Kurama!"
"We never agreed on a name!" Naruto said slapping the air in front of Kurama "and who said you get to be king?"
"How about Sakura Castle?" Chopper asked "Or Cotton Candy Castle!"
"How does it resemble or even relate to Cherry Blossoms?" Kurama asked "or Cotton Candy?"
"Why no name it Castle Eternal Darkness?" Robin asked with a half-smile.
"Name it Boss Castle." Zoro chimed in waking up from his nap momentarily.
"You go back to sleep!" Kurama yelled pointing accusingly at Zoro.
"Nice job on that castle you three" Usopp said. Usopp was wearing yellow brown shorts and a cowboy hat. Goggles hung around his neck.
"Maybe it'll be better than our!" Franky added; he was wearing a red speedo with a big yellow star in the middle, his typical shades and a Navy blue Hawaiian shirt with palm trees decorating it. His blue hair was styled to look like a lion's mane. "It's nnnnnnnnnn…" Franky began to roll his arms. Usopp, Brook, Chopper, Kurama, Sanji and Naruto all couldn't resist joining in.
"SUUUUUUUPPPPEERR!" all the boys yelled in Unison as they slammed their forearms together over their heads.
Nami and Robin just looked at them with straight faces unable to comprehend the awesome.
Sure enough behind Usopp and Franky was a three story extremely detailed sand castle. With a dozen spires and stonework carved into the sand.
'Show offs…' Naruto and Kurama thought while Chopper nearly had a heart attack from excitement when they showed him it had a working draw bridge.
"FOOOOD!" Luffy screamed as he launched himself from his surf board over to Nami, Robin and Sanji, landing with a crash right in front of them. Robin used her powers to move the umbrella enough to protect herself and Nami from the shower of sand.
While Sanji berated Luffy for almost hitting Nami and Robin, the orange haired navigator noticed a change in the weather.
'This pressure…something's coming.' Nami thought as she looked up to the sky. 'The only question is; what's coming?'
CRASH something fell from the sky startling the Pirates.
"What the Hell was that!?" Usopp freaked
"A Meteor?" Franky asked looking at the crater.
"Shit that blind man's here." Zoro growled as he gripped his sword, pulling it out an inch. No one seemed to notice but Zoro appeared rather excited.
"Blind man?" Naruto tilted his head in confusion turning to Zoro.
"AAAAAHH! The Sky's falling!" Chopper screamed while running around in circles.
"That was so scary I jumped out of my skin." Brook said "Ah but-"
"You don't have any skin." Kurama pointed out "You're a skeleton."
Brook hunched over and began to sulk in a mock depression "Kurama-san…that's real mean. You can't just steal my line… First Chopper-san now Kurama-san…"
With caution the straw hats approached the fallen object.
"sniff sniff" Luffy sniffed the object, it smelt familiar "MEAT!" he screamed as he ran towards the impact. Sure enough there was a giant piece of meat right on the bone in the center of the crater. He began to devour it just like the Luffy he was.
"Meat falling from the sky? The New World sure is crazy."Kurama said
"Is it safe to eat?" Naruto asked "I'm pretty sure there's a default five second rule."
"Hey Luffy you should have let me cook it."
Zoro just looked up at the sky as more clouds appeared in the sky. "If meat falls from the sky I really hope it rains booze often."
"It appears more is falling." Robin said as she noticed a multitude of objects appearing in the sky.
Sure enough more food fell from the sky and not just meat; there were French fries, oranges, Hamburgers, ribs, meat balls and sausage and many other forms of food and drink. In other words this place was like Heaven for Luffy.
This is a Gourmet Island home to the Buffet Shower, a rain that drenches the land in almost any kind of food imaginable.
"Gomu Gomu no…" Luffy leaned his head back. "Scatter Chomp!" The Straw Hat stretched his neck multiple times in a Gatling formation catching and devouring the falling meat in his mouth. "Delicious~~!" In thirty seconds he was sitting on a pile of meat bones. "This Island is the best!"
"Raining food? I know I studied the New World's weather patterns for two years but this is completely ridiculous." Nami said as she stood next to Robin, who made a canopy of hands to protect them from the food shower.
"Damn, it's everything but booze." Zoro said with a frown as he lay back down for another nap. "Wake me up if Booze does end up falling from the sky."
"Alright let's stock up on all this Food!" Sanji ordered "LUFFY STOP EATING IT NOW!"
Kurama's ears perked up slightly when a strange sound entered them. "Was that a wolf's howl?" He turned to the trees behind them to see a rustling in trees.
"Huh?" all three in the monster trio turned towards the forest sure they heard something. Without warning a massive white wolf burst out of the trees and landed in front of them.
The wolf was massive, easily standing at 26 (8m) feet tall and about 60 feet (18m) long. It had snow white fur, two blue markings on each side of its face just below its eyes and a large proud mane of white fur. On its back was a blue saddle with red edges and two people.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Chopper, Usopp, Brook, and Nami screamed in terror.
Zoro gripped Shusui, Sanji readied himself by lifting a leg, Naruto gripped Harusame, Robin crossed her arms and Kurama transformed back into his Kyūbi form.
[Insert Toriko OST 4 – Densetsu no Bishokuya Toriko]
The wolf tuned to the Straw Hats and its expression turned from emotionless to surprise then to happiness. It trotted happily over to Luffy and gave him a wet slobbery kiss. That's what the Pirates realized there were two people on the beasts back.
The first of these two men was a large muscular fellow standing at a whopping 7 ft 3 (220 cm for those who use the metric system). He had wild blue hair, big eyebrows and three scars running across his left ear to under his left eye. He wore a shiny red jumpsuit with a popped collar, ripped edges on the shoulders, a dark blue under shirt also with ripped sleeves and navy blue boots and a red band around his left forearm.
The other man wore sea green Khaki shirt and shorts boots. He was about 155cm (5 feet), had short black hair and a big nose. He also wore a dark green backpack.
"Eh!? Luffy!?" The Large man questioned in surprise. He jumped off of the wolf and landed right in front of the Straw Hat Pirate.
"Oi! Toriko!" Luffy cried waving his arms wildly "How are you?"
The large muscular man's name is Toriko, known as the Charismatic Bishokuya the Glutton
"Awesome!" Luffy replied. The two men walked up to each other and smashed fists together. "How've you been? D'ya complete your Full Course yet?"
"Not yet." Toriko replied "I'm only half way done with it."
"Shishishi! You gotta let me know when it's finished!" Luffy laughed. "I wanna try it so bad!"
"We'll eat it in celebration of you becoming the King!" Toriko laughed
"They seem to be getting along." Naruto said to himself watching Luffy and Toriko talk"Who are these guys?"
"Oi Komatsu, how are your cooking skills coming along?" Sanji asked the shorter man.
"They're coming along fine Sanji-san, but my skills are nowhere near yours." Komatsu said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Are you crazy?" Toriko asked putting a hand on "Komatsu just got into the IGO Chef Ranking at number 88!"
"Wow!" Sanji said "I knew you had it in you." The cook added
"Terry!" Nami cried happily to the white wolf. The Wolf lowered its head to her level and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. "Oh you're so sweet!
"You've grown so much Terry!" Chopper cried excitedly
"And you've gotten fluffier!" Nami added as she cradled the wolf's head, who seemed to enjoy it when she started to scratch him behind the ears. Terry sat right down and began to rapidly stomp his foot. "Oh, you like that don't you?" Nami asked to which Terry yipped in delight
Luffy and Toriko turned over to Nami, Chopper and Terry "The Ancient King of Gourmet World…"
"Nami should just be a beast Tamer." Luffy said "She's got Terry wrapped around her thumb. I'll tell ya she can bend practically anyone to her will."
"Well you guys haven't changed that much at all since the last time we met!"
"Yeah! Wasn't it that tournament on that Island?"
"Sure was. Remember that fight between you, me and Goku?"
"I wanna fight him again someday." Luffy said looking up to the Sky "Shishishi! I still can't believe that Mr. Sandman guy beat us."
"I think his name was Satan not Sandman…"
"I wonder if we'll see Goku again?"
"Who knows." Toriko replied "He did give us that private training session before we all parted ways."
"It was way too shot." Luffy said "Oh well. We still got to eat that Ultimate Meat didn't we?"
"It was so good I almost made it part of my Full Course Menu!"
"Who are these guys?" Naruto questioned hoping someone would answer him this time.
"They're some old friends." Robin answered "We've run into them about four times."
"Still doesn't answer my question." Naruto said as he looked over to see Luffy and Toriko having an arm wrestling contest, with no clear winner coming out. Sanji and Komatsu seemed to be having a nice chat.
Before Naruto and Kurama got a good explanation Terry, the wolf walked over to them and began to sniff them. Terry seemed far more interested in the nine tailed for that was Kurama because he sniffed the sides of the fox's head before circling around and shoving his nose into Kurama's butt.
Kurama yelped in surprise and jumped up. "What's the big idea?" Terry seemed to be taken aback by Kurama talking but quickly continued to try and sniff the demon fox. "Let's see how you like it." Kurama said as he began to circle around the larger wolf trying to niff his butt. Unfortunately there was a height difference between the two what with Terry being five times the size of Kurama and all. "Damn it. He's…excuse me for a second." Kurama said as he peeked under Terry's hind legs. "SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!"
"What's wrong Kurama?"
"B…b…b…b…b"
"B-b-b-b-b what?" Naruto questioned "Is it a Boy?"
"Can't…believe…I…looked. I broke a major rule…I looked at it…"
"Soooo…he is a boy?"
"That is for me to know and you to find out…on second thought it's better if you didn't look. That is a very rude thing to do."
"You just did it."
"And I regret it deeply!"
"Now I'm confused. Didn't you look to see if Terry was a boy or a girl? What's got your tails in a knot?"
"I'm just…SO JEALOUS!" Kurama turned back into his human form and began to sulk for reasons unknown to Naruto. Terry seemed surprised slightly by the fact his new friend had just disappeared, but this new guy still smelled like him. The Battle Wolf went right back to sniffing Kurama.
"Why can't I be like Terry? Big, strong and a chick magnet."
"Yeah…'cause nothing screams 'I'm a ladies man' like a two pushing three story Nine Tailed Fox who is seen as the embodiment of hate."
"Eh, tomato, tomato" Kurama said shrugging his shoulders
"You are so full of yourself it isn't even funny."
"Say that again when you're the oldest of nine kids."
RMMMMM Not too far from the shore the water began rumbled and bubbled. "Huh?" Luffy Toriko questioned as they turned to the disturbance.
[End Song]
"GOOOOORAAAAHH!" Out of the water emerged a large Shark with a serpentine body measuring 80 meters long. It was covered in red jagged scales, six pectoral fins, three sets of gills, and two dorsal fins the forward fin being twice the size of the other one. The upper portion of its head was protected by a skull with three horns. Two protruded just past the eyes and were each a meter long while the horn on its nose resembled a saw.
[Eel Shark: Capture Level 42]
"An Eel Shark!" Komatsu exclaimed "That thing's a capture level 42!"
The Monster trio, Toriko and Terry all got ready to fight. SPLISH a streak of pinkish red shot out of the water and pierced through the Eel Shark's throat.
"RAAAAAHHHH!" The Shark let out a death howl as a forest of tentacles burst from the sea wrapping completely around the Eel Shark and pulled it back under.
"Shit…" Naruto said slightly unnerved "Well I'm not going swimming in the ocean…ever again."
"Dude you can't even swim." Kurama said
"Neither can you."
"Touché."
SHOOOOOM The eel Shark's skeleton was shot out of the water like a bullet CRASH and landed right on top of Franky and Usopp's Sand Castle reducing it to nothing more than a pile of sand.
"Oh the humanity!" Usopp screamed
"Hey it looks like me now." Brook said looking at the Shark skeleton "No one got injured in that right?"
"We're fine." Nami said speaking up for herself and Robin.
"No one did, but what the hell was that?" Franky asked
SPLOOOSH Out from the water rose a large sea monster, easily dwarfing the Sunny in size standing at a whopping 70 meters tall and 120 meters long. It was a large green skinned shark/crocodile/octopus hybrid with a white belly, possessing crocodile-like features such as scales, legs and two rows of two inch scaly spines running from its head to the end of its tail, and shark-like features such as a dorsal fin, gills, tail and four rows of razor sharp teeth. It had a large pulsing head and a mane of octopus tentacles around the skull. When it opened its mouth to roar they could see a second mouth with an octopus beak where the throat would normally begin.
[Great White Croctopus: Capture Level 34]
"AAAAAGH!" Usopp, Chopper, Nami, Brook and Komatsu screamed "SEA MONSTER!"
"A Great White Croctopus!? That's what killed the Eel Shark!? Its capture level is so much lower!" Komatsu screamed
"I'm not surprised about that." Toriko said reassuringly to Komatsu "That Animal is part Shark, part crocodile and part octopus which means it's actually quite smart. It's probably learned that any species of Shark needs to keep moving, that's how their gills work, like a filtration system. The Croctopus simply wounded the Eel Shark then restricted its movement with its tentacles, slowly strangling it while that beak eats it out from the inside."
"It ate the eel Shark from the inside?" Naruto asked
"That's how it started. Once the beast was dead it swapped for its main jaw which I'm guessing can deliver roughly 10 tons of force, devouring the Shark in seconds." Toriko finished "I find it strange though, Eel Sharks normally hunt in packs. Even if that one was alone its pack shouldn't be too far behind unless the Croctopus already killed them."
Unbeknownst to the Pirates, Toriko, Komatsu and Terry beneath the surface of the sea were over two dozen Eel Shark skeletons all of them slowly falling to the bottom of the sea.
"Shit! That's a big monster!" Kurama said before turning around to Terry. "Will you top sniffing my ass?" The white wolf stopped but the moment Kurama turned around again Terry went right back to sniffing. "Oh for the love of God…" POOOF Kurama transformed once again into his full Kyubi form, only this time he made himself equal in height to Terry. "Happy?"
"Arf!" Terry barked happily
"That thing's tinny." Zoro said pulling Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu from their sheaths "Hardly even a workout."
"How should I cook this thing?" Sanji asked "Deep fry if like Calamari? Or should I sauté it in butter?"
"What a vulgar creature." Robin chimed in. "I wonder how it would try and eat us."
"OW! It's time to Party!" Franky said "nnnnnnnnn." KLANG he slammed his large forearms together over his head "A SUUUUUUPER PARTY!"
"ROOOOOAAAR!" The Croctopus roared as it advanced to the shore.
"Uh…can that thing survive on land?" Nami asked frightened
"I wouldn't be too concerned about it surviving on land." Toriko said "I'm a bit more concerned that we're in its territory."
"I'm guessing that's a bad thing." Sanji added
"Oh yeah. Croctopi are notorious for being extremely territorial."
"Don't worry Nami, I'll protect you." Luffy said
"Please go back into the water! Please go back into the water! Please go back into the water!" Usopp repeated over and over again
"Please don't eat us! Please don't eat us! Please don't eat us!" Chopper began to say while hiding behind Naruto.
STOMP a large crocodile foot came out of the water and touched down on the beach followed closely by another then four others. "ROOOOOOOAAAARRR!" the six legged behemoth roaredupon pulling itself out of the water.
"I guess it can survive out of the water." Zoro said pulling out Wado Ichimonji from its sheath and placing it in his mouth. "That makes this more interesting."
"I doubt you can even scratch that thing." Sanji said provoking Zoro
"I bet I could slice that thing up faster than you could ever cook it."
"Oi Luffy!" Toriko said. The Straw Hat Pirate turned to the Gourmet Hunter. "I think we found Lunch."
"Shishishi!" Luffy laughed in agreement. "Yosh! Let's Go!" Luffy, Toriko, Sanji and Zoro all ran for the beast as it roared, accepting their challenge.
