(with Naruto)
"I hope your ready Zoro" Naruto said as they both knew nothing good would come from Don Kreig as his men ate "lets see how well you do" he said as ever since they left Usopp's Naruto had trained Zoro in chakra control exercises and to say he was impressed by his determination would be an understatement, Zoro completed the leaf exercise in two days and he made him practice the three walking on the ship's mast and no matter how much he fell down he got back up and tried again completing it in three days and took only a day to learn to channel it through his swords
Zoro felt his hands tremble from excitement as he wanted to know how well his swordsmanship improved as he may not have known restraint but he did know what he was like when he fought at his best and wanted to see what his best would be like improved
Don Kreig's men had finished eating and fell for the stereotypes people had for all pirates and began to destroy, rob, threaten, and steal
"You want in?" Naruto asked Sanji who was currently smoking
"Hell yes" Sanji said hiding his anger well
"Hope you can keep up dartboard brow" Zoro said not thinking much from the cook
"The hell did you say moss head?!" Sanji said glaring at the swordsman
'These two are gonna do well together' Naruto said as he knew this make them rivals to be superior to the other
"Focus ladies it's game time" Will said as the pirates surrounded her
"Yes miss Will" Sanji said politely as he did take Naruto's advice to heart and had enough sense to not to hit on a taken woman
Before the fight could start Don Kreig's worn down ship was cut in half as a man in a small boat approached the restaurant
'This guy is a serious threat' Naruto thought as he knew the man was a swordsman with his giant cross-like sword 'definitely a master swordsman of the highest caliber' he thought seeing the look in his eyes and was unsure if he could win in a direct fight against the man
Carrot was shaking like a leaf feeling her animal instincts telling her to run and hide from the man
Naruto saw his crew minus Zoro feel the effect of the man's presence and extended his chakra to each of them calming them down a little "Zoro-" he was saying till his swordsman approached the man 'he is suicidal if he thinks he has a chance' he thought not willing to interrupt the soon to be battle but wasn't gonna let Zoro die
Don Kreig didn't dare speak in the presence of 'Hawk Eyes' aka Dracula Mihawk as he was a deadly man he didn't want to anger him
What is your goal? Mihawk asked Zoro
To be the best Zoro said tying his bandanna to his head and pulling out his swords
Mihawk pulled out a small dagger from his cross necklace
"Is this some kind of joke?" Zoro asked upset that he wasn't taking this seriously
You may have a small reputation in the east blue but that means nothing to me "I don't need a sword for this" Mihawk said FIRMLY"I don't need a bomb to take out a guppy" he said using the metaphor as a comparison to their skills
"Is he serious?" Will asked very seriously
"He's not lying everything he's spoken is the truth" Naruto said in total honesty impressed by the man's skills as they were in a class he'd never seen before
Everyone watched as Zoro fight Mihawk, Mihawk using only a tiny dagger and Zoro using all three of his swords, Zoro was getting slashed repeatedly
'This is impossible' Zoro thought his mind unable to comprehend the man's level of skill 'I need to win he thought oni giri!' he yelled using his ultimate move and as he attempted the move Mihawk stabbed him
"Why do you not flee?" Mihawk asked curiously wondering what drove the man before him
"If I flee my dream will die I would rather die than flee" Zoro said with absolute certainty in his voice
"What's your name boy?" Mihawk asked wanting to know
"Roronoa Zoro" Zoro said seriously wanting the man to know his name
"I will remember that it's been years since I met a swordsman like you" Mihawk said as he put the dagger away and put it in his necklace/sheath "I will honor you by using my sword" he said grabbing the large sword on his back
"Three thousand worlds!" Zoro yelled and the moment he made contact his swords in his hands broken but still faced Mihawk as he didn't want to have any scars on his back considering them dishonorable
Mihawk gave Zoro a deep slash on his chest as he fell into the sea
Naruto wasted no time diving in after Zoro and soon brought him up to the surface Hawk eyes waiting for them
"You are quite powerful for someone your age" Mihawk said making it sound like a statement "no devil fruit powers but I see how you have great potential and you have a power inside you not of your own and not human I'm curious to how far you will go and what that power is do not fail to meet my expectations young man you have even greater potential than the swordsman" he said walking to his boat and sailed off
Naruto was silent as he knew the man was in a class of his own but to feel out his hidden powers made the man even more dangerous than he seemed "I'm gonna heal you" he said to Zoro who was bleeding a lot
"No" Zoro said as he considered his scars a badge of honor and knew Naruto could heal a person fully to prime condition thus taking away his scars "just heal me enough so I don't die" he asked knowing this wound could kill him
Naruto used his Naraka Path and threw Zoro inside healing all his bones closed his wounds a little meeting Zoro's demands "you are all dead" he said going into chakra mode and stared at all of Don Krieg's men
(in the distance)
Mihawk stared back and smirked from Naruto's level of power and wondered how he'd grow, he also felt something on his hand and when he looked down at it he saw a small thin paper cut sized cut on his thumb not deep enough for blood but still a cut all the same 'I haven't received a cut in a long time' he thought as he had forgotten the feeling "he might have more potential than I thought" he said out loud
(with Naruto)
All of Don Kreig's men were unconscious as Naruto destroyed them in a second then looked at their captain who seemed nervous
Don Krieg activated his poison bombs immediately, but was surprised as his gas was in multiple electric spheres
"You know poison is a weak weapon to use very cowardly" Will said as she appeared behind Krieg
'Fast' Krieg thought
Will then used her powers to contain more of the poison and sent all the spheres upward to let the glass dissipate and then made a chidori and pierced his lung wanting him to die slowly giving him the fate he has given so many others
(hour later)
The crew was currently eating a feast as the chef wanted to reward them for saving his restaurant, right now Sanji was telling them about his dream to find the all blue
"Sounds cool" Will said wondering what kinda fish a person could find there
"You'll never find it here wanna search for it while we go on adventures?" Naruto asked him as he always believed everyone should follow their dreams and they needed a cook
Sanji was hesitant to answer the question
"Oh for crying out loud just go already you brat!" Zeff said loudly "you want to see the world and I'm not gonna let you use me as an excuse to not go so go you brat!" he said wanting the boy he basically raised live out his dream
"Fine you want me gone old man you get your wish" Saji said stomping to the ship
As they all followed behind Sanji as they finished just about to leave they all heard Zeff say "stay out of trouble kid" he said sounding fatherly making Sanji stop in surprise
"Awww he does care" Will and Carrot said making both men grumble and blush in embarrassment
(few hours later)
The crew was currently on deck having a little meeting before they reached Nami's home island and Usopp, Johnny, and Yhosku were having a panic attack as they asked Nami about Arlong
"Breath idiots" Will said as Usopp panicking was killing morale a little
"Also before I left Arlong was preparing for a special guest" Nami said as it creeped her out and frightened her a little as Arlong thought it was a special occasion
"Ok that's something at least" Naruto said as any information was useful "it'll take a few days to get there so I'm gonna start teaching you guys chakra" he said as he saw Zoro smile
(next day)
"You know if you keep trying this exercise like this you'll get tired right?" Naruto asked as the crew besides Will was training in the leaf exercise while Zoro was on the side of the ship trying to water walk as the ship moved falling in multiple times using a lot of chakra to get back up and try again
"I don't care this training will help me get control of my chakra better and it's training my body I want full control to improve better plus you said chakra is about control over body and spirit learning these two things will help me improve" Zoro said once again falling in the ocean
Naruto let out a small chuckle hoping not to fish him out then stared at Usopp and Nami, Usopp was actually doing better than Nami is chakra control but it was probably because of his lesser amount than Nami, he then went to see Carrot who was meditating with Will as she had gotten chakra exercises in a couple hours and was learning to manipulate her chakra into lightning chakra as with her electric powers they believed it was her nature
Sanji was currently fighting a dummy with only his feet respecting his reason to use only his feet but he felt his refusal to strike a woman a little bit of a handicap he'd die from
'We need to be ready for when we get to the island animal like people always share physical traits with their animal counterpart and their are a lot of sea creatures out there that are stronger than a lot of mammals' he thought knowing there were many dangerous creatures of deep blue sea
(few days later at Nami's island)
'Marines' they all thought with anger as everyone knew more often than not the marines were corrupt
"Well if we're doing this may as well do it right" Will said as she undid a seal she had on her and brought out a straw hat with a red band
"Ok you guys deal with the marines" Naruto said looking to Will, Sanji, Johnny, and Yhosku "while we do some prep work" he said looking to Nami, Zoro, and Usopp as they had to do some stuff before the attack
(few minutes later)
Naruto was literally restraining Nami as she saw marines steal from her mother's home, he knew it must've hurt but it wasn't worth risking her life as the men were armed after calming her down he let her go and appeared before the men and unleashed a massive amount of killing intent making all the marines fall unconscious
"Thank you" Nami said feeling grateful than quickly realized something and ran to her house "Nojiko" she yelled the name of her sister as she wanted to make sure she was ok
Soon a tan skinned blue haired woman with mid C-cups and a round ass came out "Nami" she said running to her sister pulling her into a hug
After a quick rundown on what was happening from the group and Nami's sister Naruto decided to do a little recon
(with Arlong)
"Such a nice day for you to visit...sister" Arlong said to a human sized mermaid with high DD-cups, curvy body, and a round and plump ass "so how have you been Shyarly" he asked curious as his sister never hid her hatred for him
Shyarly was a mermaid with purple hair and tail glared at her brother "I don't know" she said as a year ago the future in her crystal ball changed to such a drastic level it affected the level of the fishman island's fate and she only knew due to much tracking that the cause was a golden light that would be on Arlong park this very day
Arlong was curious as his sister's powers was something of both value and power but it was also very precise with only receiving minimal changes as not everything was set in stone, but the look in her eyes made the fishman wonder what could cause the uncertainty in his sister's eyes
Suddenly a golden light exploded at Arlong's gates making Shyarly look at the gates as the explosion caused a smoke screen but it slowly died down revealing Naruto
'Is that him' Shyarly asked herself while also noticing he was very attractive
"Which one of you dick heads is Arlong?" Naruto said loudly charging up Kurama powered rasengans as he noticed when he fought the fish men his regular rasengan took a few seconds longer with the fish men as they had thicker skin "if you want to live then leave" he said as he knew all these fishmen were trash some sensed his killer intent and ran off but those that were either dumb or stupid stayed
"And what do you want human?" Arlong said superiority in his voice
"To kill you" Naruto said as he appeared before Arlong but not before knocking out all the men out
'He's fast' Shyarly thought never seeing such speed in her life
Arlong jumped at Naruto using his spear like nose only for Naruto to catch him and break his nose bending it at an angle
'How is he so powerful?' Shyarly thought as she knew he didn't have devil fruit powers but sensed something dark yet light in him, but what really caught her interest was his dormant but large haki inside him
Naruto furiously beat Arlong till his purple skin became even darker showing he was being bruised
"What did I ever do to you?" Arlong asked seeing the hate in Naruto's eyes
"You killed Nami and Nojiko's mom" Naruto said as Arlong laugh
"That's what this is about?" Arlong asked with a smirk
"Not just that it's the fact you made people every month so they can fucking live" Naruto said as Arlong deserved worse than death
"Don't be naive humans use humans all the time" Arlong said as that was a small truth of the world "Nami was the only human useful as she had a talent I could use to conquer the east blue" he said laughing proudly at that
Naruto then slammed a rasengan into his gut as he slammed Arlong into the floor
Shyarly was amazed as she looked in her crystal ball and saw the future change through her crystal ball to alternate futures all very different from one another but somehow he stayed the same through it all his spirit never faltering
"What are you?" Arlong said as he refused to believe the thing before him was human
"Your death" Naruto said as he grabbed Arlong's head and unleashed his rinnegan using the Human Path and pulled out Arlong's very soul stealing information from him as the man's soul dissipated "I know what has happened to you all to hate humans but you shouldn't judge others based on past experiences as everyone is different and you have become worse than the people you hate" he said firmly as he sorted through Arlong's memories "but let me make one thing clear this island is my territory if you attack it's people again you will die" he said not willing to give these men another chance
Shyarly looked at him in amazement as all the fishmen ran in terror
"So why are you here Shyarly?" Naruto asked as with Arlong's memories he knew who she was and knew she was somewhat of a legit fortune teller like Shion the priestess he saved in his original world
"I think I'm here for you" Shyarly said as she knew her powers with the crystal ball were somewhat useless with him around and she liked that as knowing the future left no surprises in her life
"You sure you want to be a pirate" Naruto asked her curiously as she seemed perfect for stealth for pirates as she was able to breath underwater and seeing past water was extremely difficult
The scales on Shyarly's tail began to recede revealing a pair of human legs and as she stood up she smiled "yes" she said with certainty standing on her legs
(few hours later)
"I can't believe you guys did so much damage" Naruto said seeing the marines and their ships in very bad shape due to Will blowing them up the ships sinking while the marines laid on the ground and beach
"We're good" Will said as she then placed her straw hat on her face to take a nap
"What you do with the corrupt captain?" Naruto asked as he sent Zoro and the rest who came with him to handle that very corrupt marine Nezumi
"We beat his ass" Usopp said proudly
"No I beat his ass then Nami broke his teeth and stomped on his testicles" Zoro said as Usopp was a chronic liar thinking he had to prove himself to others but he still tried to do right by them so they all over looked his lies as he was still a loyal friend
Usopp blushed and make a lie to leave
"So what are we gonna do with the bodies?" Zoro asked Naruto knowing he had both Arlong and Don Krieg's bodies
"Cash them in" Naruto said plainly
"How we were all seen I don't see how we can collect bounties if we have them ourselves" Nami said as she knew all the money they had from Kuro would last them a good while
Naruto just transformed into Nami and Zoro then himself again "I can change my appearance plus it'll take a few days for our wanted posters to go out" he said knowing it would take a while
"That'll be handy" Nojiko said as her sister was a thief and a thief losing their appearance when the person they robbed from saw another face instead of the original owners they would never know who truly robbed them
"I still can't believe you snuck aboard" Nami said as her sister snuck aboard the ship to join her
"I still can't figure out how she brought all these guns and ammo" Naruto said as he saw literally dozens of guns and multiple ammunition boxes
"What can I say my sister's good at being a thief I'm good with guns" Nojiko said nonchalantly
"You know these guns inside and out" Naruto asked as he saw guns for up close and long distance 'these things are old fashion she'll need semi automatic weapons or a quick trigger finger' he thought calculatively 'maybe I can fit the barrels with seals once I teach her chakra so she can quickly reload' he thought seeing a shotgun and a few revolvers weapons which were a pain to reload and weapons not meant for fighting a full on fire fight
"Yeah our mom" Nojiko said with a sad smile "Nami was good at mapmaking and I was good at shooting" she said remembering shooting BB guns with her
"I'm sorry" Naruto said knowing he brought up fond memories that were painful to remember "ok everyone get to training I'm gonna work on our new recruits" he said knowing he was gonna have to catch them up
(next day)
'I can't believe this' Naruto thought as Shyarly's chakra control was impressive when she learned it as she went through the leaf exercise to tree climbing to water walking in a matter of hours, Nojiko was going at a steady pace getting help from Nami almost done with the leaf exercise
"Got anything else for me to do?" Zoro asked as he got a decent enough control on the water walking
"Yeah you and me are gonna spar" Naruto said seeing Zoro smile as even though Naruto wasn't a swordsman Zoro considered him a strong opponent
'Wish I had all my swords' Zoro thought in frustration as he his swords broke in the fight with the marines and even though he could fight with one sword he prefered using three sword style his own style
'I wonder how this guy would do with any swords of the seven ninja swordsman of the mist' Naruto thought as those swords were deadly in their own right "hey Zoro I've been working on adding certain principles of metal to already forged blades I've been working on sea stone got it off someone" he said as the metal wasn't that hard to aquire "but I think I can add chakra metal to your blade and any you get so you can channel chakra through it better" he said knowing chakra could be channeled through anything but doing it through chakra metal was better and easier
Zoro stared at the blade his deceased friend's father gave him and wondered if it should be tampered with as this sword was what he believed to be a symbol of his friends spirit that he would carry to fulfill her dream, he had it sharpened and repaired but he was sure this was different "will you take care of it" he asked needing reassurance from his captain and friend
"Like I would with another person's life" Naruto said seeing the looks and gentle care he had for the sword
(an hour later)
'Feels different' Zoro thought as it was lighter but also he felt closer to it feeling the swords power flow through him feeling closer to the sword than ever before
"You ready" Naruto said as he wanted to see what Zoro could do, he took out some kunai channeled a lot of chakra through his kunai extending them to match Zoro's sword and even though he had two and Zoro had one he was sure Zoro would like it as he liked a challenge
Both men fought on the deck of the ship for an hour both covered in cuts Naruto more so than Zoro as they fought with nothing than chakra and swordsmanship
'He's good' Zoro thought as he could tell Naruto was suited for smaller blades but was doing exception in offensive fighting but had weaker defenses
'He's getting better' Naruto thought as he was limiting himself to as much chakra as Zoro seeing him improve his control through the blade as he fought 'if he does this as he fights his chakra control would be amazing in a couple more fights' he thought thinking Zoro was prodigy in learning this
"You two almost done it's really gonna suck cleaning your blood" Will said as the crew was watching the two go at it
"Yeah we're done" Zoro said as he knew he was the better swordsman but knew this was more of a spar than anything else
(next day)
"This is bullshit" Zoro said seeing his bounty was 15,000,000 in a newspaper
"Just show's I can kick your ass" Will said as her bounty in the paper was 30,000,000 twice Zoro's amount
"Oh please I'm worth twice this at the very least" Naruto said as his bounty was 35,000,000 everyone looked at him wondering if that was true as they had yet to see his full power
"How strong are you" Shyarly asked curiously wanting to have her question answered
Naruto smiled and jumped off the ship ran a good distance ahead of it and soon a giant bright orange pillar erupted causing all the occupants of the ship besides Will to be shocked by Naruto's power as the pillar died down and in its place was a golden nine tailed fox made of energy
"Fuck me" Sanji said as his cigarrete fell out of his mouth as he was captivated by it's form and power
"You can say that again" Nojiko said feeling the same as Sanji
'If he unlocks his haki he will be a dangerous force with his multiple powers he has yet to reveal' Shyarly thought as even though she felt his power surging she felt more to it than this
