3 days later

"Nami-chan, you're weapons-"Anything he was about to say died when random wooden pieces started falling from the sky. Seconds later, an entire ship fell from the sky. It was in this moment that the log pose started pointing up to the skies. "I guess our next island is somewhere in the skies? That's very interesting." Nami stared at the pose log in disbelief.

"How the hell are we supposed to get there? Our ship can't fly."

"Leave that to me Nami-chan." All heads turned towards the ship's magician. They were all curious as to how he was going to get them to an island supposedly in the skies. "Everyone, please secure your belongings. While you're all doing so, I'll make a few temporary adjustments to the ship." The entire crew ran to their respective spaces to secure any loose items. Naruto placed his hand on the ship and began pumping chakra. In seconds, wood tendrils began sprouting all over the ship. Using the wood tendrils, Naruto formed a second layer around the ship for added protection. After adding protecting to the ship, he sat down and waited for the others to finish securing their items.

15 minutes later, the entire crew came back

"Alright guys grab onto something and prepare for a wild ride." Using the special rope he received, Usopp tied not only himself but the entire crew down to the ship's sail. "Next stop, some island located somewhere in the skies" Using his mastery over water manipulation, Naruto made the waters beneath the ship shoot upwards at high speed. The entire crew minus Robin and Naruto screamed at the top of their longs.

"SUGOI WE'RE RISING" It seems that Luffy found amusement in all this.

"We're going to die; I can feel it in my bones." Usopp shivering in fear at the dark thoughts he was having.

"The only way we could die is if we crashed into the island itself." Robin's statement silenced the others for a few seconds before they started screaming again but for a different reason.

"Don't worry guys, I'm a rubber man." Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper glared at their captain.

"Good for you Luffy." Usopp's words were drenched in sarcasm. "We're glad to know that you'll survive the crash."

"Thank you Usopp" Sweat drops appeared on their foreheads at how genuine Luffy was. Didn't he understand that Usopp was being sarcastic with him?

"Clouds ahead" The Straw Hat Pirates looked up just as the ship struck the clouds. What happened next surprised the entire group including Naruto. As soon as they breached the clouds, they found themselves underwater. To prevent the group from suffocating, Naruto allowed the water he used to bring the entire ship to this point to fall. Using his mastery over wind, he created an air bubble around the entire ship then used water manipulation to push the air bubble towards the direction of the ocean's surface.

"I thought we were going to die" Luffy's energy slowly began to return to him.

"T-that was s-scary" Usopp's entire body trembled.

"That was interesting." Like Luffy, Robin had lost all her energy too. She glanced at the other members to find them relatively okay.

"I should have known there would be an ocean in the sky. I mean they have an island in the sky so why not an ocean." Nami mentally kicked herself for not thinking about the possibility of an ocean in the sky. Still the whole concept of an island in the sky still bugged her endlessly.

"Well none of that matters right now. We're still alive and kicking. Now where does that log pose points to next?" Nami glanced at the log pose to find it still pointing up.

"W-we still need to head up more." Naruto clapped his hands together.

"Alright I'll-" Nami interrupted his speech with a raise of the hand. She already knew what he was about to propose.

"I think it's best that we find an actual route to get there. I don't think the crew could handle another surprise like that." Naruto merely nod his head at this. Her eyes shift downwards to the items currently clipped to his waist. Naruto noticed this and immediately remembered what he was about to tell Nami before the whole ship falling from the sky incident.

"Oh, that's right" He unclipped the three segments and gave it to her. "I amplified the weapon's capabilities and made it more durable for close combat. Whenever we have free time, I'll teach you some bojutsu. This way you'll be able to defend yourself should you find yourself in a situation where the enemy is too close."

"Thank you Naruto-kun." She bowed slightly to show her gratitude to him. Naruto scratched the back of his head at the gesture.

"It was the least I could do for you Nami-chan. I wouldn't want one of my precious people getting hurt." Nami blushed slightly at this. He turned towards the sniper of the crew. "I'll also teach you a few things as well. We can't have you relying on long ranged skills alone. What if the enemy gets close to you?" Usopp gulped nervously at the thought. He had never thought about something like that occurring.

"H-hai Naruto" Naruto smiled at his willingness to get stronger for the sake of his crew. Despite being one of the weakest, he was still courageous enough to not only stick with the group despite the dangers they probably went through but did his best to assist them in any way he could. That was a plus in his book.

"That's good to hear Usopp. You-" His attention snapped towards the side of the ship. "Look alive boys, we have company and he's approaching us quickly." He ran towards the side of the ship and jumped onto the water. Utilizing the water walking technique, he shot towards forward to greet the hostile newcomer.

"SUGOI, HE'S SKIING ON WATER WITH MAGIC" Sweat drops could be seen on the members of the straw hat pirates. Almost everything Naruto did impressed Luffy. An explosion in the distance alerted the others that there was a hostile enemy out there. The entire group ran to the side for a better view. The only thing they were able to make out were two figures battling on top of the ocean.

"Does that mean the enemy's a magician too?" asked Chopper.

"Maybe we could get him to join the crew as well." The thought of two magicians on his crew made Luffy excited.

"I don't think he's interested in joining us Luffy. Besides, I doubt its some type of magic." Sanji placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He continued watching the battle between the two.

"This match is over." Zoro's exclamation brought forth confusion for the others. That confusion was quickly cleared up when one of the fighters launched the other over a hundred feet with a single strike. "I didn't know Naruto possessed strength like that. I wonder if he knows how to fight with a sword."

"I know a thing or two about swords." All eyes turned towards the source of the voice to find Naruto on the ship completely unscratched. They glanced in the direction he was in two seconds ago only to find an empty area. "I'm not sure who that guy was but he doesn't seem fond of us. Something tells me that we'll be seeing him later on which means that we need to be on alert from now on. Anyway where too now captain?" Luffy pumped his fist forward and screamed out his next destination.

"TO THE ISLAND IN THE SKY"

Naruto could only shake his head at this. This guy reminded him of himself when he was younger. Maybe this was his replacement or something like that. His personality was similar to his when he was younger and he had big dreams as well. If he was anything like him, then he would surely become powerful with time or… A sly grin made itself across his lips. He could help Luffy become a legend just like how pervy sage helped him become a legend. In fact with his training, he could turn this simply crew into a legendary one. They would be as famous as the Roger Pirates were. They would be well known throughout the world.

"What are you smiling about Naruto-kun?" Naruto's chain of thoughts was interrupted by Robin. "Is it your typical perverted thoughts or something else?" Naruto poked his lips out at this.

"Not everything I think of is something perverted Robin-chan." Her response was to giggle at this.

"So does that mean it's something devious?" Naruto huffed in annoyance.

"I'll have you know that my current thoughts are neither perverted nor devious. As to what it is, it's a secret." Robin's eyebrow rose at this. Whenever he had a secret, it was usually something big or something worth interest at least.

"When will you reveal this secret with us Naruto-kun?"

"You'll find out later Robin-chan and no amount of seduction will make me tell you." Robin rolled her eyes at him.

"Pervert"

"You mean super pervert" He puffed his chest out with honor at his self-proclamation. Robin sighed at his antics. She had never met someone who proudly calls themselves a super pervert other than Naruto that is. Usually they were more secretive.

"Look at those clouds" Luffy's voice caught the attention of the crew. They all turned towards where Luffy's focus was to a strange sight. There was a large cloud with water flowing from it similar to that of a waterfall. There were also large clouds around said waterfall. They all seemed to be solid enough to stand on. "They look like fun" Using his rubber ability, Luffy placed his arm on the ship's railing and grabbed it. Once he had a firm grip on it, he began walking backwards forcing his arm to stretch. Once he had enough distance, he allowed his body to be flung in the direction of the solid cloud. As soon as he struck the cloud, his body bounced a few times indicating that the cloud wasn't as hard as it looks.

"This is the first time I've seen a solid cloud." Naruto didn't bother to hide his surprise. He had never heard about something as bizarre as this. Just what kind of world was he currently in? His world never had things as bizarre as this but then again his world was bizarre in its own way. Walking on water or walls, summoning creatures, creating tsunami, or reviving the dead wasn't normal features. 'I went from one bizarre world into another.' He could only shake his head at the situation at hand. He returned his attention to find his captain jumping up and down on the cloud with a childlike glee.

"COME ON GUYS, THIS IS REALLY FUN"

"I want to bounce on the clouds. Could we move the ship a little closer?" Chopper's eyes never left the slid cloud Luffy was currently bouncing on.

"There's no need for that" replied Naruto. A second Naruto came into existence surprising the others. "Take Chopper and the others to the cloud." The clone nods his head then approached Chopper. Once close enough, the clone placed a hand on Chopper's shoulder and vanished. The duo reappeared on the cloud right next to Luffy. The clone removed his hand from Chopper's shoulder then vanished leaving behind a puff of smoke which faded away within seconds. Zoro whistled in amusement.

"You're full of surprises. I've never met someone like you before. But then again how often does one come across a person capable of growing plants, summoning food, sake, and weapons from a scroll, or create duplicates?" Naruto merely waved it off as if it was nothing.

"You haven't seen anything yet Zoro. I'm much more capable of performing greater features which you'll be able to witness later on that is. Anyway would you like to play on the cloud as well?" Zoro merely shook his head at this.

"I'm alright but thanks for the offer though."

"I would like to play on the clouds." After seeing how much fun both Chopper and Luffy were having, Usopp wanted to join them. Another clone of Naruto popped into existence. It took Usopp to the cloud then dismissed itself just like the first one did.

"How many clones can you make?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders at this.

"I'm not sure anymore. The most clones I made were 1,000." This piece of information shocked Zoro. To be able to create an army was an impressive feature.

"You seem interesting in my Zoro. Is there any particular reason?"

"No not really. This is the first time I've met someone like you before." Naruto nods his head in understanding. It was understandable for Zoro to be curious about someone like him. The shinobi population had all but died off from what he was able to gather. This Era was all about Pirates, Marines, and swordsmen. If there were shinobi's in this era, they were probably weak ones that didn't possess chakra or possessed skills like the shinobi of his era. In fact, they were probably nothing like the shinobi he had grown to know.

"I'm a little curious about you myself" Zoro's eyebrow rose at this. What could Naruto possibly be curious about? "It's rare for me to see someone wield more than two blades at once. The most blades I've seen someone wield are 7 and his style was completely different from yours."

"7 blades?" Zoro asked. "Was he an octopus fishman?" An image of Hatchan appeared in his mind. If Hatchan had placed a blade in his mouth, he could wield 7 swords. Naruto shook his head at this.

"No, he was human and a powerful one at that. He had the blades in his mouth and the joints of his arms. His blades weren't normal size though. They were much smaller."

"He seems like an interesting guy to fight. I would love to fight him one day."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible Zoro. He died in a war many years ago. He died before he had the chance to pass down his fighting style to the next generation." Naruto frowned when memories of B's death resurfaced. He quickly shook his mind of those sad thoughts. There was no point dwelling about the past. "Fighting with three swords must have taken a great deal of training and a great deal of sweat, blood, and tears."

"You got that right. I bust my ass developing that style. It is through this style that people know who I am."

"Tell me more, I'm interested" Naruto sat down to get a little comfortable. Once he was seated, he motioned for Zoro to begin.

"Robin-swan, Nami-chwan, I made a few smoothies for you." Sanji twirled around a few times while balancing several cups of smoothies.

"Thank you Sanji-kun. Could you give me and Robin some privacy? I want to speak to her alone." Several hearts appeared in his eyes.

"Hai Nami-chwan" He twirled his way out of the kitchen leaving Nami and Robin alone. Robin waited until Sanji left before asking the first question on her mind.

"So Nami, what did you want to talk to me about?" Nami paused for a brief moment before uttering a single word.

"Naruto" Robin's eyebrow rose upon hearing this.

"What about him?" Nami scratched her neck nervously.

"I wanted to know about him. I don't really know much about him but you do. Can you tell me about him?" Robin giggled at this.

"Unfortunately I don't know too much about him. I've been trying to figure him out for years." Nami's eyebrow rose at this. This prompted Robin to elaborate more on what she meant. "I met Naruto when I was 8 years old. His appearance hasn't changed from then which means he's a lot older than he appears to be. I have no idea as to what his actual age is yet but I'll find out one day. Other than the information he gave us, I don't know much about him. He's very secretive about his origins." This piece of information shocked Nami. It looks like she needed to do some investigation on the blonde enigma on her own. She released a heavy sigh.

"I guess I'll be joining you on the quest for information as well. Still where does someone like him come from? I've never met anyone capable of doing supernatural features without the aid of a devil fruit. Just what on earth is he?" Robin merely shrugged her shoulders at this. She asked herself that question plenty of times but could never find an answer.

"I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe we'll figure this out together in time Nami. Right now we should take this time to relax." Nami found herself agreeing to Robin's plan.

"You're right Robin ever since I joined this crew we've had nothing but rotten luck. Luffy seems to attract danger no matter where he goes. Who knows when the next dangerous situation may arise?" Robin merely giggled at this. "I wish Sanji was here. He could have made us a snack so we could relax."

"What would you like to eat?" Robin and Nami jumped upon hearing Sanji's voice. They turned around to find him standing directly behind them. "My Robin-chwan, and Nami-swan are hungry senses were tingling." Identical sweat drops were seen on their faces.

"Could you make some chocolate desert Sanji-san? We'd both appreciate it if you did."

"HAI NAMI-SWAN" Sanji danced his way towards the oven where he began the preparations.

"Is there a normal person on this ship other than us?" Nami asked no one in general.

"Well they do make things interesting around here" was Robin's response. Nami sighed in exaggeration which earned a giggle from Robin.

I had to cut this one short. I started it about a month ago and didn't have time to do anything. When I got back to it, I kept drawing blanks as to how I should continue it. Maybe I'll do much better with my next chapter when I get the chance to write it that is. This of this as an introduction to Skypiea
