Hello everyone. I'm Shadow the hedgehog 2nd. This is my second attempt at a story. For those of you who likes my first, I want to stay it is my top priority and will be updated soon. This is just something I wanted to test out. Please help me with this. Enjoy! I do not own One Piece or Naruto.
Tasteless Fruit
It was that time of week. Naruto needed to go around town and get some more groceries because the ones he would buy would always expire two or three days later. When he did get good items that were worth eating or using, they were overpriced. Hell, sometimes they down right denied him service and kicked him out of their store. No matter how much money the Sandaime gave him it only lasted him a month because of this, so he could never buy anything he wants.
Right now Naruto was only eight years old. He had spiky blond hair and bright blue eyes. He usually wears a black shirt with white pants. He always wears his white jacket with the black spiral on the back and black stripes going down the sleeves and on the hood.
"I wonder where I could find a decent place to buy supplies." Naruto muttered to himself. It looked like it was about to rain in Konoha, so everyone was indoors. Although, when he passed people occasionally he would hear someone call him a 'Monster'. " Well, somewhere is better than nowhere! I better hurry before it rains." He decided to run towards the closest grocery store called Kenta's Grocery Store.
Since Naruto was kind of short, the guy at the cash register never noticed him. After gathering the supplies needed, Naruto was ready to check out. Although, the man was glaring at him before he even got close.
"Is that all?" The man said with venom in his voice. He was angry that he let the little brat get in. He couldn't kick him out when the store is full of people.
"Yes, sir." Naruto answered politely. He learned a long time ago, that being polite could bring good things and not being polite could cause bad things. However, after Naruto paid for his stuff, the man was grinning largely.
"You're very polite for your age, huh? How about I give you a little treat?" The man went under the counter and started looking for something. After a moment, he could up with some type of fruit. It had the shape of a large apple, with a lot of swirls over it. It's blue with a green spiraling steam.
"Um, thank you." When the boy had left, the guys face darkened. He had no idea what that fruit was. No one would buy it because they didn't want to take any risk because it could be poisoned. Now that he had sold it to the demon-brat, he hoped it was poisoned.
Naruto was sitting on his bed, staring at the fruit. He didn't want to waste some of his groceries and make something, when he could simply just eat the fruit. Even though it looked weird, it did look good…
Making up his mind, he picked up the fruit and took a bite out of it. He suddenly turned green and shivered slightly. It was so disgusting; he was tempted to throw it out the window. But he knew better than to waste food. It could be a while before he was able to get more.
So, putting on a stony face, he ate the whole apple in a single bite. He almost lost his will to go on after tasting the fruit. Just as he was about to complain about the taste out loud, he blacked out and fell on his bed.
When regained consciousness, he saw that he wasn't in his bedroom anymore. It didn't even look like he was in Konoha too. The sky wasn't blue or grey anymore. It was purple with black clouds. The trees around him had some type of purple stuff on, melting the tree. The most notible feature was a giant cage in the middle of a lake.
"Ah, so you ate the fruit." Naruto froze at the guff voice. He turned around slowly and saw something that shocked him greatly.
He guessed that it was a man. He was large, about three times the height of a normal human. His eyes were black and have very sharp teeth and a thick beard. His fingers kind of looked like a gorilla. He wears bat wings and horn-like ornaments on his head. Overall, the guy resembles a devil. The guy is wearing a black-colored suit with a red shirt underneath. His suit features a lot of buttons. Draped over his right shoulder is a piece of rope. He has a black hat on top with some stuff on it.
Naruto was tempted to scream in fear, but he didn't want to make it mad.
"Um, yes. Who are you and where am I?" The giant grinned and replied.
"My name is Magellan. I guess you could say I am the warden of your mind. And this place is, well, your mind. If you want, you can also call it your inner world." Naruto looked at the man strangely before becoming a little irritated.
"Okay? If this is my mind, then why are you here?" Booming laughter erupted from the cage before killer intent started leaking out making Naruto fall to his knees and struggle to breathe.
"Poor little kid. Can't even handle even 1/10 of my killer intent." Magellan glared at the cage.
"Kyuubi! Do I have to remind you, that you if he dies, you do too! I can put an end to little game if I have too!" This seemed to cause the killer intent to fade. Although, you could still feel the hate and malice in the air.
"Whatever, old man. I want you two to know this. One I am free from this cage, I will kill you both!" The voice seemed to echo, before disappearing.
"What was that!" Naruto said standing to his feet. He felt as if he was staring death in the eye. He literally wanted to kill himself to end the mental torture.
"I'll tell you another time. It is not a problem for now. But I must tell you how I am here. I appeared in your mind because of the Akuma no Mi( Devil fruit )you had ate."
"Akuma no Mi? What's that?" Magellan seemed to nod his head in understanding. Devil fruits became rarer than they already were.
"Devil Fruits are said to be the fruits of the Sea Devil and that the secret to their power is hidden in the Grand Line, which is east of the elemental nations and there were more than a hundred. Devils Fruits gives the user incredible powers but with the price of not being able swim. There are three types of Akuma no Mi. The most common use to be the Paramecia (Superhuman System). These fruits give super-human physical abilities. Other users can alter features of their bodies or their environment.
Next is the Zoan( Animal System ). These fruits give the users the ability to transform into an animal and acquire every ability affiliated with said animal. The user can also transform into a human-beast hybrid form.
The last one is the Logia( Nature System ). A logia fruit gives the user the ability to transform themselves into an element, making them intangible or indestructible, keeps the human body and makes the user more vulnerable towards pain. They also gain every ability related to that element and gain the skill to disperse, control and rejoin any part of their bodies while conscious and in control of their powers. Logia users can move every part of their transformed bodies while in element form."
Naruto was in awe of the Akuma no Mi. The fruits had so much potential and could make anyone powerful. It made him wonder why some the man gave him the Devil Fruit. As if reading his mind, the man told him something.
"The Akuma no Mi is close to extinction. There are only three left. Just like me, the old user's soul is inside the fruit to train the person." Naruto was smiling at the prospect of gaining a rare power. He always wanted to become a famous shinobi. Now he could stand out from the nobodies.
"So, what are my abilities? What type of fruit did I eat?" Magellan was grinning at the boy's excitement. He would have fun passing down his techniques.
"The Doku Doku no Mi ( Venom-Venom Fruit ). It is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that grants the user the ability to produce and control different types of poison in different shapes and forms, as well as grant immunity to all forms of poison. If you eat some poison, then you are able to produce it and use it in a fight," Naruto was sad he didn't get a logia, but he was grateful he had something. "And some weaknesses of the fruit, is water and fire. Fire will neutralize liquid poison."
"I can work with this, thank you Magellan-san." The giant nodded his head.
"I am going to teach you about these abilities Naruto. In your mind I can teach on how to use these abilities but you have to try them on the outside. And it will help greatly if you find a library and learn about poisons. There are hundreds of poisons out there that you can control. Now get lost!" For the second time that night, Naruto blacked out.
Once Magellan was sure the blonde was gone, he turned towards the cage and frowned.
"You do know, I will not let you hurt the boy. That child is gonna be the start of a new era. Sooner or later, he will need your chakra to fight certain opponents." An red eye with a black slit revealed itself.
"Hehe, that may be so. But I will not have a weak container. If he wants my chakra, he will have to stand up too me. I will not give it away so easily. That Akuma no Mi may have given him a trump card, but I will not kneel to anyone. If the brat wants full control, then he has to defeat me in combat. I will warn you now, I WILL NOT SHOW ANY MERCHY!"
Magellan smirked. "You'll be surprised on what the boy can accomplish. I have a feeling that he'll be the strongest person you'll ever face in battle." With that, the poison man disappeared in the forest and the cage became dark again.
Well there it goes! The reason Kyuubi called Magellan a old man is because the One Piece world came before the Rikudō Sennin. No, Kyuubi willn't cure Naruto of his water curse, but he will cure him of his diarrhea. I will try to update this story often if I see it's good enough. And the two other devil fruits is a Zoan and a Logia. I have the Logia idea down already, but I am still looking for the Zoan. If you have any ideas please tell me. See ya!
