XD Although before I begin I should point out I do not own Naruto or One Piece as they both belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda respectively so no suing of me, kay? Now let the story begin already and I hope you all enjoy it! ^_^
Darkness.
That was what one Naruto Uzumaki noticed as he walked around in what appeared to be a very long, dark and black void.
"Just….where am I?" Naruto thought before noticing a familiar appendage was present on his right side.
"My arm? But…I thought it was gone?" Naruto asked as memories of the last day came back to him as he remembered the final fight between him and Sasuke which ended with the loss of both of their dominant arms.
"And my clothes are back to normal?" Naruto asked just as amazed as he realized his orange and black tracksuit were apparently repaired along with his ninja headband.
However before Naruto could ponder anymore about his current situation or where he was, a familiar new ally made his appearance known.
"Naruto…." An elderly voice said as Naruto looked to see none other than the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, himself.
"Grandpa Six Paths!" Naruto smiled as he ran to him, surprised he wasn't nearly as exhausted as he was before he reached this place.
"Great to see you Naruto. But I would just like to say, thank you for saving our world." The former master of Ninshu praised the Leaf Village ninja who blushed at the praise.
"Haha, it was nothing! I promised I was gonna save the world and I did!" Naruto waved the sage off with a huge grin on his face with a thumbs up.
Though despite his bashfulness, Naruto couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride as memories of the last three days had flooded back to him.
He had managed to defeat various powerful Shinobi that had been reincarnated thanks to Kabuto Yakushi, defeated one of the founders of the Leaf Village, Madara Uchiha himself along with the creator of Akatsuki himself, Obito Uchiha before reforming him, the Ten Tails, the amalgamation of all the Tailed Beasts and even the goddess of Chakra herself, Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mother of Hagaromo with her "son" Black Zetsu as well.
What a fight that was. With her ability to warp and create various dimensions in addition to her Ash Bone technique which could disintegrate anyone if even the smallest touch, it was an amazement that Naruto and his team were able to survive.
Although all of that was nothing but buildup for his final fight against his former best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. It had been a long and grueling fight full of blood, sweat and tears with their fight being on the level of deities themselves.
Thankfully…it was all worth it in the end as Naruto had finally managed to bring Sasuke back to the light.
"Just knock it off….Shut up you loser…" Were the last words Naruto heard before appearing in this dark void.
"Although, I have to ask, where am I?" Naruto asked as he stopped his trip down memory lane as Hagoromo lost his amused smile as his expression turned into one of seriousness and even a bit of sadness.
"I am sorry to tell you this but you are dead." Hagoromo solemnly confessed as Naruto was silent.
One…two…three….
"WHAT!?" Naruto exclaimed with comically wide blank eyes, full of shock as he turned ghostly white.
"Indeed….With a combination of chakra exhaustion, overexertion and massive blood loss, you and Sasuke passed on." Hagoromo explained as Naruto couldn't believe what he heard. He had finally achieved his goal of saving Sasuke only to die?
Naruto continued staring at the sage blankly before tears sprang to his eyes.
"Sakura….Kakashi-Sensei….everyone…." Naruto grit his teeth as the full implications hit him full force.
"Granny Tsunade…I promised her…I wouldn't die…until…I became hokage!" Naruto buried his head into his arm as the tears he tried holding back came out in full force as he thought of all the friends he'd leave behind.
Hagoromo could only stare somberly at Naruto's broken state. In a lot of ways, the current affair of the Shinobi World was his own fault.
"I'm Sorry…Naruto…." Hagoromo sincerely apologized as Naruto wiped his eyes to look at the Sage.
"Sorry? What're you sorry for?" Naruto asked, his voice still hoarse.
"This…is all my fault. If only I hadn't been as reckless with my choices…you would still be alive, living a happy life with all of your loved ones. Perhaps…even your parents would still be alive." Hagomoro looked down as Naruto gave Hagoromo a mirthless smile.
"Don't apologize. Besides, you did what you thought you had to do. I don't blame you at all, old man." Naruto stated as Hagoromo for a split second saw an image of his youngest son, Ashura in addition to his late wife, materialize right by Naruto.
The images made Hagoromo smile.
"Your empathy is truly remarkable, Naruto Uzumaki. To be able to see the good in an old fool like me is truly respectful. It's no wonder you were able to change people that of Nagato and Obito Uchiha." Hagoromo smiled as Naruto looked down as he gave his own sad smile.
"Don't say that, old man!" Naruto argued as Hagoromo waved him off.
"It's fine. You don't need to defend me. But as I was saying, you have truly grown into such a noble man. You would've been the best Hokage of the Leaf had you still been alive." Hagoromo commended the blonde knucklehead as Naruto was suddenly reminded of his current situation.
"Oh right….yeah….so…I guess you're here to take me to Heaven then?" Naruto assumed before he raised an eyebrow at Hagoromo's expression which resembled that of…amusement?
"On the contrary, no. You see, I was going to see if you were interested in the hopes of a second chance." Hagoromo explained as Naruto's eyebrows raised.
"A second chance?" Naruto asked as Hagoromo nodded.
"Indeed. I can help you begin a new life in a new world. Though this world has no chakra, you will be able to live life without the label of a 'Jinchuuriki' and will be able to start anew." Hagoromo explained as Naruto processed this information.
It indeed sounded interesting and tempting. Not to mention, Naruto wouldn't just want to lounge around in the afterlife just after turning seventeen years old.
But still….there was that feeling of uncertainty that clouded Naruto's judgement.
"Having doubts?" A familiar voice asked Naruto as his eyes widened as he turned around to see two very familiar figures.
One of which was a man that resembled an older Naruto with longer hair while the other was a beautiful woman with long red hair.
"Mom….dad…" Naruto teared up as they smiled brightly at him.
"Happy Birthday Naruto!" Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki yelled before they were suddenly embraced tightly by a crying Naruto as he wailed into their arms.
"Dad…Mom….I….." Naruto sobbed as they rubbed his back although none of the parents were dry eyed.
"Naruto, we're so proud of you. You've become one hell of a ninja." Minato praised his son as Naruto looked at his father with tear-rimmed eyes.
"Dad….you…thank you….did you at least tell Mom what I told you?" Naruto stuttered as Kushina winked at Naruto through her tears.
"Of course. But even if he didn't, I saw everything. You showed that rabbit bitch who's boss!" Kushina pumped her fists as Naruto laughed.
"Haha but it wasn't just me!" Naruto bashfully declared as both parents chuckled as Naruto broke himself from their embrace.
"So modest. You've really become a ninja Jiraiya-Sensei would be proud of." Minato smiled as Naruto wiped his eyes.
"Yeah…I just wish I could see him right now…" Naruto looked down before a familiar laugh nearly made his heart stop.
"Well look no further!"
Naruto could barely breathe as he turned to see none other than….
"Yo, kid!" Jiraiya grinned with his arms crossed.
If Naruto was happy to see his parents, he was absolutely delighted to see his honorary godfather!
"PERVY SAGE!" Naruto wailed as he ran into the arms of the man he respected the most as he held Jiraiya tight as Jiraiya held the crying Jinchuuriki.
"Heh, quit crying you wimp." Jiraiya joked as Naruto cried harder as he cried over the man he hadn't seen in nearly a year.
Minato and Kushina smiled happily at the display as Hagoromo was just as happy.
"Through everything I can say that I'm really happy I made you my apprentice!" Jiraiya pat Naruto's head as the recently turned seventeen year old smiled like a child opening up a present in Christmas.
"O-Old Man….h-how can I see my parents and Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked as Hagoromo chortled.
"Just imagine this as your loved ones seeing you off. Though they aren't the only ones who wish to have some final words with you." Hagoromo explained as Naruto wiped his eyes.
"Only ones?" Naruto blinked.
"Well I'll be damned. The little brat actually grew up to become someone worth a damn." A familiar gravally voice stated as Naruto immediately turned around.
"Zabuza!" Naruto grinned before noticing Haku right by him.
"Naruto, you have become such a great man. You definitely deserve your title of 'Hero of the Shinobi World'." Haku smiled as Naruto rubbed his head bashfully.
"Haha, thanks guys! And you know something, Zabuza, I would've loved meeting you in the war. That way I could've kicked your ass again!" Naruto laughed as Zabuza narrowed his eyes at the blonde.
"You wanna lose your head, you little shit!?" Zabuza growled as everyone laughed at Zabuza's misfortune.
"Damn annoying twit." Zabuza muttered.
"Love ya too!" Naruto grinned.
"I wonder who's also here…" Naruto mused as he looked around before two familiar faces appeared right in front of him.
"No way! It's Nagato and Konan!" Naruto explained as the Rain Village ninja smiled at Naruto.
"Hello, Naruto." Konan greeted.
"Yes, we thought it'd be fitting to see you off before you set off into your next Adventure of sorts. Thank you again for saving us from our inner darkness." Nagato thanked Naruto who gave the red-head a thumbs up.
"Heh, no problemo!" Naruto proudly smirked as six figures touched down in front of the Leaf Village hero.
"Hey, it's the Jinchuuriki!" Naruto smiled broadly.
"Yo." Utakata greeted.
"You kept your promise in saving us." Han stated.
"And for that, we're forever grateful to you, Naruto Uzumaki." Yagura crossed his arms with a smile.
"Hehe, well you all know me! I always keep my promises!" Naruto grinned although he immediately looked down remembering his unintentional broken promise to Tsunade.
"Don't look so down, Naruto! It doesn't fit you." Yugito smiled at Naruto.
"Yeah…I guess you're right." Naruto sighed as Fu smiled at him.
"If only I was alive, we probably would've been friends! Besides, you're cute!" Fu grinned as Naruto blushed like a school dork.
"C-cute!?" Naruto blushed as Kushina happily squealed.
"Grandchildren!" Kushina gleamed as Minato put a hand on her shoulder.
"MOM!" Naruto blushed in embarrassment.
"Uh…Kushina, I don't think that's possible since they're de-OW!" Minato was cut off with a foot on his baby toe.
"Always gotta ruin my fun." Kushina pouted.
"Hehe, Kushina is as scary as ever." A child-like voice announced as Naruto turned to see the source of the statement was none other than a child Obito Uchiha with a brown haired girl by his side.
"Hey, is that you, Obito? You got tiny!" Naruto snickered as Obito glared at Naruto.
"Hey!" The girl at Obito's side chided Naruto before calming Obito down.
"By the way, I'm Rin and I wanted to say thank you for helping bring Obito back to the Obito we all knew and loved." Rin smiled her thanks at the blonde sage who laughed.
"Haha think nothing of it!" Naruto grinned.
"Indeed. You are dumber than my older brother but you have his valiant and self-righteous attitude." Tobirama Senju smiled at Naruto as he and the other Hokage appeared in front of Naruto.
"Tobirama…" Hashirama moaned.
"Yes, the Will of Fire will continue to eliminate within you wherever you go, Naruto." Hiruzen nodded as Naruto blushed at all the praise he was receiving.
"Yes indeed. You brought me out of the darkness and I'm sure you can achieve nothing short of great results wherever you are." Neji Hyuga smiled at the person he once assumed to be a dropout loser.
"Thanks Everyone….but I can't help but wonder…." Naruto looked down as he wondered about a certain avenger.
"Where I am? Look behind you dumbass." The voice of Sasuke Uchiha answered Naruto's question as Naruto turned around to see the sight of his once-enemy now turned friend staring at him.
However what stood out to Naruto the most was the look in Sasuke's eyes. They were at complete…peace.
"Sasuke…." Naruto barely breathed out as Sasuke walked to Naruto.
By Sasuke's side was Itachi, Mikoto and Fugaku.
"I can say without a shadow of a doubt, you raised a very fine young man, Minato." Fugaku stated to his fellow Leaf shinobi with nothing short of respect.
"Thank You, Fugaku." Minato genuinely smiled, happy to see Fugaku has finally gotten over the disdain he had towards him and the Leaf.
"I was certainly right to place my faith in you after all, Naruto." Itachi praised Naruto.
"Naruto…you saved my son in the end and were able to return him to that kind boy he was once before this whole debacle. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much." Mikoto Uchiha said with a very tight voice as Naruto smiled at Sasuke's mother.
"Sasuke was the person who acknowledged me more than anyone else so of course I would." Naruto gave the Uchiha woman a content smile as Sasuke gave Naruto a smile, one that he would give before the Uchiha Massacre.
"Naruto….despite everything…you never cut me off but rather…you kept trying to get closer to me…to my feelings…you never stopped calling me your friend despite everything I put you through…in the end….you stopped me and brought me back as a friend. Thank You." Sasuke sincerely smiled as he held his left hand out in a gesture that Naruto immediately recognized.
"Sasuke you…." Naruto teared up as the two completed the Sign of Reconciliation.
The men all smiled proudly at the scene while Mikoto and Kushina were teary eyed at the entire scene.
Both reincarnations of Ashura and Indra respectively smiled at each other as the long feuding war between the sons of the Sage of the Six Paths had finally ended with the revival of Naruto and Sasuke's friendship.
"Well…I guess that's it. Alright Old Man Six Paths, I'm ready to go now." Naruto smiled as Hagoromo smiled back.
"Don't think I'll send you away without a close friend, Naruto!" Hagoromo announced as Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"But who?" Naruto asked before none other than a certain fox had appeared right in front of Naruto.
"Hehe, sup brat?" Kurama smirked.
"Kurama!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Indeed. Kurama here didn't want you to go to another world without being there to aid you in some way and so he has chosen to accompany you." Hagoromo explained as Kurama rolled his eyes.
"Oh get real! I just can't have this brat dying, that's it!" Kurama tried lying but everything saw right through it.
"Yeah sure." Sasuke snorted.
"Haha you really have grown soft! You're a teddy bear!" Naruto grinned as Kurama glared right down at Naruto.
"How dare you compare me to such a vile toy!" Kurama yelled as Naruto's grin widened.
"Maybe wherever we go, you can become a plush toy!" Naruto guffawed as he fell on his butt as Kurama had had enough but an idea soon hatched in his mind.
"Hmph without me, you wouldn't have shit to your name. After all, how'd you beat that Kiba moron again?" Kurama smirked as Naruto turned pale as he wanted the details of how he beat Kiba to be strictly under wraps.
"Uh…no way of course!" Naruto paled as Kurama's smirk widened.
"Oh you mean you didn't-"Kurama tried drawling on as Naruto screamed right in Kurama's ear.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled as Kurama's eyes turned into swirls for a couple of seconds before he glared at Naruto.
"You brat! How dare you scream in my ear!" Kurama growled.
"Quit calling me a brat!" Naruto growled back as laughter and snickers from everyone present caught their attention.
"What's so funny!?" Naruto and Kurama demanded.
"You two, you're so adorable!" Fu giggled as Naruto and Kurama blushed at her words.
"Kurama, right? I know I wasn't the nicest person to you and for that I'm sorry. But could you please grant my request on keeping my son safe in this new world?" Kushina asked as Kurama scoffed.
"Oh please. I'm kind of stuck with him." Kurama rolled his eyes as both Minato and Kushina were clearly bemused by the once evil beast.
"You know, you're a soft mushy marshmallow!" Kushina grinned as Kurama glared at her.
"You're just as annoying as that dumbass son of yours!" Kurama yelled.
"Dumbass son!?" Naruto demanded.
"Thank you!" Kushina grinned.
"It wasn't a compliment!" Kurama yelled as Naruto suddenly screamed, nearly scaring everyone.
"What the? What's wrong!?" Minato asked as Naruto's eyes grew wide and blank.
"Oh yeah! The Infinite Tsukuyomi! Everyone's gonna turn into White Zetsu, right? We gotta do something!" Naruto yelled about to rip his hair out as Sasuke huffed in amusement.
"You're dead but you still care about the world?" Sasuke mused as Naruto looked at the Uchiha as if he was crazy.
"Damn right I do! All of our friends are still trapped in that jutsu!" Naruto yelled as Hagoromo chuckled.
"Haha do not worry. Shortly after you two passed on, Kakashi and Sakura appeared in tow. Though despite their grief in losing you two, Sakura was able to transplant Sasuke's Rinnegan into Kakashi's eye and Kakashi was able to weave the hand-signs with the Tailed Beasts and everyone was released from the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Hagoromo explained as Naruto sighed in relief that his friends would still be normal.
"Alright, alright. I suppose now I shall send you to your new life, Naruto?" Hagoromo asked as Naruto closed his eyes as he thought of all the ones he would leave behind.
"Iruka-Sensei, Kakashi-Sensei, Sakura, Old Man Teuchi, Big Sis Ayame, Sai, Captain Yamato, Kurenai-Sensei, Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Bushy Brows, Tenten, Bushier Brows Sensei, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, Granny Tsunade, Shizune, Tonton, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Old Man Bee, Inari, Tazuna…I'm sorry…for leaving you all…but I hope you can all take care of yourselves. No, I know you all can! I'm sure you can protect the Ninja World now that I'm gone!" Naruto promised himself before opening his eyes as he smiled at Hagoromo.
"Yeah." Naruto nodded as Hagoromo raised his hand.
"Just like when you received your Six Paths power, place your hand on mine, Naruto." Hagoromo gestured Naruto forward.
"Right." Naruto nodded before placing his palm on Hagoromo's before a bright bluish aura suddenly enveloped Naruto and Kurama's bodies.
As a bright light suddenly enveloped Naruto's vision, everyone waved goodbye to the orange and black clad ninja as Sasuke had some final words for Naruto.
"Good Luck….Naruto." Sasuke said as Naruto was completely gone before he could mutter his reply….
"Thank You…Sasuke."
As Naruto opened his eyes he found himself in what appeared to be a bizarre grove of sorts.
"Whoa…Kurama, where are we?" Naruto asked his Tailed Beast as even he was lost for an answer.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Walk around and find out for yourself." Kurama said as Naruto shrugged, thinking that was the best thing to do for now.
Naruto was thankful that his orange and black tracksuit were repaired along with his headband as they were both precious gifts from Jiraiya and Iruka, respectively. Not to mention, he was glad his arm was restored by Hagoromo as he couldn't imagine himself with just one arm.
As Naruto walked around in this bizarre new environment, he noticed a unique amount of bubbles floating around the area.
"What the hell? All these bubbles remind me of that mission I was on with Hotaru and Utakata." Naruto muttered as the bubbles in the area floated all around him.
As Naruto continued walking around the grove, he walked around until he came across what appeared to be an amusement park, much to the delight of the inner kid in Naruto.
"Whoa is that an amusement park!? That looks so fun!" Naruto yelled with sparkly eyes as he quickly ran to the amusement park.
"Sabaody Park?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at the name of it as he walked inside of it and marveled at all the different rides displayed.
"Man this looks so freaking fun! I'm gonna ride all the rides!" Naruto childishly vowed as Kurama rolled his eyes.
"Of course you will." Kurama scoffed as Naruto took it upon himself to enjoy all of the rides in the park.
Although the blonde knucklehead was left a little dazed, especially with the epic drop down ride.
Although Kurama looked annoyed with Naruto's childishness, he couldn't deny his inner desire in wanting to have fun on the various rides his own self.
Naruto decided to survey this new environment before coming across something a little peculiar.
A little reindeer with golden-brown fur was walking around with a stick of cotton candy in hand or rather hoof. It had a large blue hat a little too big for him with a white and yellow striped shirt with orange shorts and a blue backpack on its back.
Or in Naruto's case, the reindeer looked more like a raccoon dog.
"Holy shit!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran to the "raccoon dog".
"W-what!?" The reindeer nearly fell back as Naruto ran right up to him.
"I've never seen a raccoon dog like you before!" Naruto grinned as the reindeer immediately grew a tickmark on his head.
"I'M NOT A RACCOON DOG ASSHOLE, I'M A REINDEER! AND MY NAME'S CHOPPER!" Chopper yelled at the blonde who blinked.
"Really? You look like a real raccoon dog." Naruto shrugged as Chopper's temper only elevated.
"I HAVE ANTLERS!" Chopper yelled, pointing to his hooves as Naruto blinked.
"Oh? Well sorry!" Naruto apologized as Chopper's anger seemed to have died down.
"It's okay, just get it right." Chopper said as Naruto nodded.
"Well I guess I'll be on my way. Nice to meet you, Chopper." Naruto grinned as he turned to leave before he accidently mis-stepped, accidently knocking the cotton candy out of Chopper's hooves, sending it to the ground.
Chopper's eyes widened in horror as he teared up while Naruto's eyes went wide and blank.
"Oh shit!" Naruto cursed as Chopper picked up the remains of his pink, fluffy treat.
"…My…my cotton candy!" Chopper teared up as Naruto desperately tried looking for more.
"Hey old man! Can I get another cotton candy stick?" Naruto asked a vendor as the vendor smiled at the hero of the Leaf.
"Sure! That'll be twenty berries." The vendor said as Naruto's eyes widened as he realized he was missing something crucial.
"Uh…I don't have any money but can I just give you an IOU?" Naruto sheepishly shrugged as the man narrowed his eyes at him.
"Oh I get you! You wanna try and shit me out of money, well I ain't falling for it! Now get out of here!" The vendor shooed Naruto away as he went back to Chopper, felling a tad bit embarrassed.
"Hey little guy. I'm sorry but-"Naruto tried apologized though Chopper wanted none of it.
"Go! JUST GO ALREADY!" Chopper yelled as Naruto tried apologizing once again before he decided to just go, not wanting to make the situation worse than it already was.
"Smooth one, Naruto." Kurama scoffed.
"Oh don't patronize me!" Naruto barked.
"Sheesh, what kind of world is this?" Naruto asked as he walked around the Sabaody Archipelago for several more minutes before coming across a blonde man wearing a suit as he looked through several different fish at a stand.
"Yo eyebrows bro!" Naruto waved, as the man's attention was drawn to him in a very irritated manager.
"Who's it to you asshole!?" The man growled as Naruto was unfazed with the man's irritated mood.
"You know where I am?" Naruto asked as the man raised one of his swirly eyebrows.
"You're in the Sabaody Archipelago. How can you be here and not know about the Sabaody Archipelago?" The blonde man asked.
"Haha it's a long story." Naruto sheepishly laughed as the man sighed before noticing a couple of pretty ladies walk by.
"LADIES! I NEED LADY!" The man slobbered with heart eyes as Naruto blinked, utterly lost.
"…This guy seems like he'd be the best of friends with Pervy Sage if he was still alive." Naruto shook his head before the man was harshly slapped to the ground as Naruto deadpanned.
"Yep, a perverted idiot just like Pervy Sage." Naruto sighed as the man smirked.
"Hehe, Black Leg Sanji still got it." The man known as Sanji grinned as Naruto deadpanned.
"If by got it you mean rejected by getting your ass slapped into the ground then sure." Naruto rolled his eyes as a fire suddenly lit up around Sanji's legs.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Sanji tried kicking Naruto who dodged the kicks before leaving before things got weird.
"Okay I'm outta here!" Naruto yelled before getting away.
"Geesh, just where did that Old Man Six Paths send me!?" Naruto yelled out to whatever sky god was listening to him.
As Naruto decided to sit down and clear his head, his stomach growled.
"Ugh…I'm starving…." Naruto groaned before noticing a nearby tavern.
"Hey, maybe they have some ramen in there!" Naruto grinned as Kurama rolled his eyes.
"Don't hold your breath." Kurama muttered.
As Naruto entered the tavern, he was horrified to learn that he could see no ramen on the menu. Not wanting to believe it, he turned to the patron behind the bar desk.
"Hey old man, where's the ramen?" Naruto practically demanded.
"Sorry don't have any kid." The patron heartily chuckled as Naruto slumped in his seat before noticing Miso Soup on the Menu as well as Soba Noodles.
"Okay then, can I have some Miso Soup and Soba Noodles, please?" Naruto grinned.
"Sure Kid." The man said before Naruto's meal was served to him, "Enjoy!"
"Thanks a ton, old man!" Naruto grinned before he put the Noodles in the Miso Soup before he devoured the meal.
"Hehe, not as good as Ichiraku's but still pretty tasty!" Naruto grinned.
"Can I have some more?" Naruto asked as the old man continued giving Naruto his combination of Miso Soup and Soba Noodles before Naruto devoured over twenty bowls, much to the astonishment of the other customers.
"No Freaking Way…."
"Who the hell is this kid?"
"Why the hell does he have whiskers?"
"Is he some sort of demon?"
Naruto's eyes twitched at that last comment but he shrugged off the comments, happy to be eating.
However this small peace was shattered by the harsh swinging of the door to the bar.
"STEP ASIDE TRASH!" A loud voice bellowed in the distance as everyone turned to see a very dirty and disheveled obese man walking by with several other people by his side. He had a straw hat and a scar on his stomach as all the patrons could only stare in shock at the group.
"No way…"
"It's Straw Hat Luffy!"
As the people in the bar stared wide-eyed in fear at the sight of Luffy and his crew, Naruto paid them no mind as he continued digging into his food.
"Hey, kid!" The man known as Luffy shouted as Naruto continued ignoring him. Having enough, the huge man decided to slam his fist on the table in front of Naruto.
"HEY, DUMBASS!" The man shouted as Naruto finally acknowledged the man.
"Oh, who're you?" Naruto asked, completely unintimidated, much to the man's chagrin.
"How dare you not know who I am!?" The man demanded as Naruto stared blankly at the man.
The bar patron stumbled behind Naruto.
"Don't you know anything, kid!? This is Straw Hat Luffy, the man who invaded Marineford at the War of the Best two years ago! He's very dangerous!" The patron informed Naruto who raised an eyebrow.
"Kuku, that's right. Our captain is no one to screw with!" A very unattractive woman with short orange hair turned her nose at the ninja who looked unfazed.
"That's right, so how about you give us your money and we let you go?" A very pale man with blonde hair put his hand on Naruto's shoulder who stared blankly at him.
"Yeah, sound fair, blondie?" A skinny looking man with shades smirked as Naruto snorted.
"No way." Naruto refused as he the portly man slowly made his way to Naruto as the other customers could only stare agape at what they perceived was Naruto's stupidity.
"No way! Is that kid stupid!?"
"Doesn't he know who Luffy is!?"
"He's gonna get himself killed!"
"Look kid, I don't like repeating myself. Give me your money or you'll get a bullet in your skull, how's that sound?" The man snickered as Naruto fought the urge to laugh uncontrollably.
"No way." Naruto smirked before smacking the man's hand off.
"Fine! Die then!" The man shouted before shooting a bullet at Naruto who fazed out of sight.
"What the!?" The man stammered as Naruto appeared right behind him.
"Over here." Naruto grinned with crossed arms.
"Damn you!" "Luffy" growled as he tried shooting Naruto who caught his bullet as he smirked before sending it back at "Luffy", hitting the head of the man with the shades before it bounced it.
"Don't worry, I only knocked him out." Naruto shrugged.
Before "Luffy" and his posse could do anything else, Naruto's "fight" with the man called Luffy and his crew took less than ten seconds.
The patrons could only stare in shock as Naruto dusted him off before he smiled.
"Haha guess I got myself dirty." Naruto joked before dusting himself off.
"Who…are…you?" The bartender asked Naruto who grinned.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, ya know!?" Naruto grinned as the bar patron still couldn't believe some kid wearing orange and black defeated the Straw Hats!
"Okay this kid is definitely a monster!"
"Did he say his name was Naruto?"
"His name means Fishcake!"
"Well Naruto…." The bartender stammered before realizing something important.
"Okay kid, with all those bowls of Miso Soup and Soba Noodles, you owe me 200 berries." The bar patron calculated the bowls like he was an Accountant.
Naruto paled as he realized he forgot a very important thing.
"Uh old man…I…don't have any money, hehe…." Naruto sheepishly rubbed the back of his head as the man stared at him blankly before…
"NO MONEY!?" The bartender yelled as Naruto nearly fell on his butt.
"Oh crap!" Naruto cringed as the man grabbed a handful of knives.
"I've been in business for fourty years and I refuse to let some little punk like you try to shit me out of money!" The man yelled as a ball of fire erupted around him as all the customers stared with blank white eyes.
"Oh crap!" Naruto yelled as he dodged two knives.
"GET BACK HERE!" The old man yelled as Naruto was chased around the Sabaody Archipelago by a very irate bartender.
"Oh shit! Thanks a lot Six Paths Gramps!" Naruto groaned before running into something very…soft…
"Ugh…what the?" Naruto groaned before realizing he was in between two…melons as the scent of Mikans wafted through his nose.
"PERVERT!" A girl's voice yelled as Naruto's was knocked into the ground hard by a very irate girl. She had long, orange hair, brown eyes and wore a green bikini top with blue skinny jeans and orange high heels.
"Ow…what the hell?" Naruto rubbed the bruise on his cheek before noticing the very pissed off girl glaring holes into his skull.
"Whoa…she's even hotter than Sakura!" Naruto thought with a blush before composing himself as he realized what happened.
"Whoa! Just wait a minute! What happened was…" Naruto tried explain before the girl pulled out what looked like a long, blue staff.
"What happened was you tried groping me, freak pervert!" Nami yelled before Naruto was suddenly electrocuted with lightning before he noticed anything.
Naruto barely coughed out smoke before glaring at the girl.
"What's your problem! I said it was an acci-"Naruto tried arguing before the girl shot another thunderbolt at him.
"Okay screw this, I'm outta here!" Naruto groaned before leaving as the girl huffed in anger.
"Hey, what was all that about, Nami?" A boy wearing overalls and a long nose asked as he ran up to her.
"Some pervert ran into my breasts and tried making excuses for it, Usopp!" Nami growled as she crossed her arms.
"Sheesh, and we can't even reunite with everyone after two years in peace can we?" Usopp tried joking as Nami narrowed her eyes at Usopp.
"Hopefully we never see that guy ever again!" Nami huffed.
As Naruto dusted himself off, he tried finding a way out of the gigantic amusement park.
"Ugh…why is this happening to me? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!?" Naruto yelled to the heavens as he tried clearing his head while Kurama laughed his literal tail or tails off.
"Haha, nice one brat!" Kurama chortled as Naruto growled at the fox.
"Oh screw you, Kurama!" Naruto yelled before noticing a tall woman with sunglasses doing her best in trying to stay hidden.
"Huh, who's she?" Naruto asked to himself before deciding to go ask the woman a way to get out of the park.
"Yo, sis!" Naruto waved to the woman.
"Yes?" The woman asked.
"You know away to get outta here? You wouldn't believe the day I've had." Naruto explained as the woman nodded.
"Go out the back way over there." The woman pointed.
"Got it, thanks um…" Naruto tried thanking the woman before realizing he was stumped.
"Robin, Nico Robin." Robin smiled as Naruto nodded, returning the smile.
"Thanks, Robin!" Naruto waved as he was slowly made his way out of the park.
As he made his exit, he noticed a ton of posters around with a picture of a skeleton on it with the label of "Soul King" around the skeleton.
"Wow, some costume!" Naruto noted before the sounds of explosions in the distance got his attention.
"What's all that?" Naruto asked as although curiosity got the better of him despite his common sense, or lack thereof, was telling him to leave.
A series of explosions rang into the deeper parts of the Sabaody Archipelago, huge machine-like robots firing off explosions. These…were known as Pacifistas constructed after the image of the powerful Bartholomew Kuma and to the side of them was a gigantic man with a red outfit and a white marine coat over it.
"Hmph, this man isn't Straw Hat Luffy but Demaro Black with a 26 million bounty." The man, otherwise known as Sentomaru, huffed in disgust as he turned his nose up at the man he was able to easily defeat with the butt of his Axe.
"Ugh…" Black muttered as his face was covered in blood and he was barely conscious.
Natural reactions to the news were filled with anger and disbelief.
"No way! That guy tricked us!?"
"So the real Straw Hat is dead after all!"
As all these murmurs occurred, a cloaked boy with a fake mustache looked just as dismayed at the news.
"Huh? That guy was faking being me?" A very certain boy raised an eyebrow.
"PX-5, take him out!" Sentomaru commanded as the huge machine was very seconds from destroying the poor sap.
At least until…..
"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his favorite jutsu into the center of the robot, sending the humongous cyborg skidding several meters away.
"What in the!?" Sentomaru asked as he looked to see a boy wearing an orange and black tracksuit holding the injured Demaro.
"Ugh…what…." The man muttered before he regained his senses to see none other than Naruto Uzumaki looking down on him with an amused smile.
"You!" Demaro growled.
"Sup?" Naruto laughed at Demaro's angered expression as he sat him down.
"So what? You here to gloat, asshole!?" Demaro growled as Naruto shook his head.
"Nah, I just don't like to see people die around me." Naruto shook his head as Demaro rolled his eyes.
"What a baby. Well you saved me but don't think I'll give you a thanks or that I owe you!" Demaro fled as fast as his legs would allow as Naruto smirked as Sentomaru narrowed his eyes at the former Leaf ninja.
"Who are you!? Are you with Black!?" Sentomaru demanded to know as Naruto shook his head rapidly.
"No! But I have my own question, what the hell is with all these robots!?" Naruto pointed with wide blank eyes as he was instantly reminded of Mecha Naruto.
As Naruto locked eyes with Sentomaru, a very dangerous vibe wafted through Sentomaru.
"This kid…he was able to send PX-5 flying with a single blow. He's definitely not an innocent bystander, that's for sure." Sentomaru muttered.
"If you're going to attack the machinery of the Marines then you're no doubt an enemy of the World Government!" Sentomaru yelled as even more questions went off inside of Naruto's skull.
"W-wait! Marines!? World Government!? Just what the hell's going on!?" Naruto demanded to know as he failed to take notice of another Pacifista behind him with a mouth that was slowly glowing.
However before Naruto could turn his head….
"Hey! Watch out!" A voice yelled before the robot was sent flying dead into the ground below.
"Whoa!" Naruto thought as he and everyone else turned to look at a figure that made everyone but Naruto's blood run cold.
The figure was a young man no older than nineteen years old who wore a Straw Hat on top of his head with a red ribbon around the bowl of the hat, a long sleeved red cardigan with a yellow sash around his waist and blue jeans shorts with simple brown sandles. However what stood out to Naruto was the scar under his left eye and the scar on his chest.
"IT'S STRAW HAT LUFFY!" All of the civilians yelled as Sentomaru glared at the young rookie while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Luffy? Wait, you're the real one?" Naruto asked as he remembered the imposter one he saved while Luffy touched down beside him.
"Yeah. You okay?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah, thanks for saving me!" Naruto grinned before a childish squeal nearly knocked him off his feet.
"W-what's wrong!?" Naruto asked as Luffy grinned with sparkly eyes.
"That headband's so cool! Can I have one!?" Luffy practically begged as Naruto felt himself laughing despite the young man's eccentricies.
"Haha sorry but I don't have another." Naruto laughed as Luffy pouted. Although this had Naruto decide to ask the young man another question.
"So who are you exactly?" Naruto asked as Luffy recovered from his depressive bout as he smiled broadly.
"I'm Luffy, the man who'll be King of the Pirates!" Luffy declared as Naruto stared blankly at the pirate.
…
One. Two.
"PIRATES!? A WORLD OF PIRATES!? JUST WHERE THE HELL DID THAT OLD GRAMPS SEND ME!?" Naruto yelled to whoever was listening as Kurama rubbed his ears.
"Any louder much?" Kurama scoffed as his eyes softened.
"Heh, it looks like a brand new adventure is in store for us!" Kurama smirked as he couldn't wait to see what this new life had in store for him and his container.
