A/N: Yeah...I started another One Piece x Naruto story without finishing my other one. Don't worry, I will update it soon.

This story takes place before the Straw Hat's arrived in Enies Lobby to save Robin (Likes a couple of hours prior their arrival). And this version of Naruto is post-war, or final-fight-against-Sasuke Naruto. So he would be kind of overpowered during pre-timeskip, with only probably the three admiral standing a chance. I know that powerscaling can be confusing, so please bear with me.

"Talk" - normal dialogue

"Talk" - Kurama

'Talk' - thoughts and/or speaking with Kurama through mind connection (?)

'Talk' - Kurama thoughts and/or talking to Naruto through mind connection (?)


A slap awoke Naruto as he felt a burning sensation on his right cheek. He was perplexed when a man with a long, rectangular-shaped nose gazed at him intently. He stood up quickly but fell right back as his injuries hindered him. The wounds around his body made him wince in pain as the man gently laid him on the cold floor. "I don't think you should be standing up. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised that you could even move in your current state." He astonishingly remarked.

"W-who are you…?" Naruto stammered his words in his raspy voice. He frowned upon recalling the events that led to this present. After the battle against Kaguya, Sasuke declared a duel against him to settle their opposing beliefs. If he were to die, his best friend would carry all the hatred in the world and acquire 'true peace' with an iron fist. However, Naruto simply couldn't agree with the decision. He wanted to bring back his friend and prevent him from destroying the world.

While their battle was in equal standing at first, Naruto eventually overpowered Sasuke. Having the opportunity to kill his friend, he refused and made a grave mistake. To make a last-ditch effort, Sasuke used his Rinnegan to open a portal and pushed him inside. He traveled through a deep, dark void and lost unconsciousness during the process.

"Enies Lobby, one of the World Government's three strongholds," the man replied. "I haven't seen you before. We were in the station when we saw you floating in the ocean, about to fall into the waterfall. You sure appeared at the wrong time." His initial thought towards the blonde is that he must've fought a tough battle. The scars across his face and wounds around his body made him shiver. Who did he fight that made him go through hell? However, he widened his eyes when he saw the injuries on the blonde starting to heal with a sizzling sound.

Naruto had a confused expression as the man stopped talking. Did Sasuke kill him, or did he pass out? The man in front of him definitely saved him, but then he started rambling about things he had never heard before. World Government? Enies Lobby? Where is he right now? "I see. Thank you. By the way, I'm Uzumaki Naruto." He introduced himself.

"Kaku," the man kindly replied with a smile. "Who did you fight? You looked like you went through hell…" the man remarked, almost cringing when Naruto removed the bandage across his torso and revealed a gouged-out chest that gradually closed. He must have eaten a Devil Fruit. The rate at that he is healing is absurd.

"...A friend…" he reluctantly said. He's currently in deep turmoil, and if he were to reveal what happened to him, people might think he has a few screws loose.

Kaku noted the sad expression on the blonde. It must have been a mentally and physically tough battle. He wouldn't know what to do if he fought to the death with the other CP9 members. The bond that they made was great, and they trusted each other. Nevertheless, he became intrigued that Naruto fought a friend or a former friend. No friend would beat you until you were on the brink of death. "Well, I'll leave you be. Make sure you get rested. Unfortunately, I can't give you a proper bed, so you'll have to lay on the floor." He said before exiting.


Naruto felt a sensation inside his stomach and smiled when his friend healed him. Good thing Kurama was fine. The fox exerted so much chakra during his battle against Sasuke and must have used more so they both could survive falling down the void. Closing his eyes, he appeared in his mindscape and saw an enormous humanoid fox with nine-swaying tails behind it. The fox huffed upon seeing him as it tried to sleep.

"How are you doing, Kurama?" asked Naruto cheerfully as he walked towards the fox's paw. "You better not be sleeping again. I need your help right now."

"I know you have a lot of questions. And so do I. To begin with, I believe that we are nowhere in the Elemental Nations." He bluntly said, noting the confused expression on the blonde as if he uttered a lame joke. "I tried discerning the people in this location, and none possessed chakra. They have an odd aura instead that feels similar to chakra. However, only eight have it out of the thousands of other people here. The man you met before was one of them that has it." He finished and saw a solemn look on his Jinchuuriki.

Yes, it was sudden, but there was no other way to reveal it to Naruto. Trying to sugarcoat his words will only lead to more confusion. "Furthermore, I sensed a wicked aura somewhere in this place. I believe he is the leader."

"Then what about home…?" the blonde asked carefully, trying not to think of the worst outcome. "We can still get home, right, Kurama? I-I mean, if we don't, everyone back home will be in danger! I can't let Sasuke go with his plans!" he yelled — his composure gone with the thought of staying in this world. Seeing that the fox closed his eyes and sighed, Naruto became agitated. "Answer me!"

"As of right now, I can't give you a clear answer." The fox answered sincerely. He is just as confused as his Jinchuuriki. "The elements of the Rinnegan are far too complex that only those who possess it could understand. However, we know, without a doubt, that it is the main reason for our current ordeal. I suggest that you stay calm. Being anxious will only bring danger to us."

Naruto slumped to the ground and became dispirited. Every second that he stays in this place means the gradual destruction of the Elemental Nations. He was the only hope to persuade his friend and bring peace to the five nations. Everyone entrusted their lives to him, and he was scared to let them down. Nonetheless, he was hopeless. After befriending the fox, Kurama never lied to him, which means that his situation is the truth — there is no way to get home so far.

"You should head back. I sense someone approaching the room."


The blonde was once again back on the cold, damp floor. After observing the space, Naruto only noticed that it felt like a prison. There was a single toilet, no bed, broken chains in the corner, and a single table. He got confused as to why he was in this room. Being treated as a criminal certainly was not good. His thoughts were interrupted when the cell door opened, and a woman with glasses entered. She crouched near him and handed him a piece of clothing. He hesitantly took it but smiled in satisfaction as it warmed him.

Putting up a calm front, he tried to suppress his anger by subsiding his worries for later. Although he believed what Kurama told him, he was stubborn, as he still felt a slight hope lingering inside him. He can't give up until he gets out of this cell and sees the outside to conclude his decision.

"Thanks," said Naruto as he rubbed his shoulders to warm himself further. "Who are you guys? I noticed that you and Kaku wore the same black clothing. Is it some kind of uniform?" he curiously asked while averting his gaze from the woman, as her cleavage was showing from the fishnet shirt under her black coat.

"That's sexual harassment," she blankly commented as she fixed her glasses. Naruto gulped after being caught and started sweating nervously. "I see that you have met Kaku, and yes, it is some sort of uniform. We are in a group called Cipher Pol 9 or CP9. As members of an organization owned by the World Government, we serve justice and eradicate those deemed a threat. You may wonder why you are in this cell. My team is currently foraging any documents regarding you, and we have yet to find one. As orders from our team leader, we can't afford to be lax around you." She narrowed her eyes and got close to his face. "Who are you, and why were you in the ocean close to this island, is my question."

Naruto moved away from her as she started becoming suspicious of him. Casually revealing where he came from could lead him to danger. On top of that, although he can't read the strength of an individual without using Sage Mode, the woman looks capable of giving him a run for his money. 'I mean, I can't just say, 'my friend pushed me into some magical portal, and here I am.' That would sound crazy, that even I can't believe.'

'You idiot. The long-nosed from earlier knew that you fought someone before arriving here. If you are to build up a lie, say that you have been kidnapped and tried to escape, which would explain your battered condition. Then for a plot twist, just say that your 'friend' is one of the kidnappers, and he has beaten you and dumped you into the ocean, and it just so happened that you floated to this island.' Kurama's suggested plan made Naruto gawk inside his head. So it is true that foxes are great liars.

'Then what if she asks about my identity? I only told Kaku my name, but since you said this is not the Elemental Nations, they have no idea who I am.'

'Just…explain that you don't have parents, so there were no legal documents about you. I apologize for using it as an example, but it is not far-fetched from your experience, Naruto.' The fox earnestly apologizes. Witnessing the growth of Naruto to becoming a teenager, he knows that his Jinchuuriki suffered from loneliness due to his status, when in reality, it was the villagers' ignorance in believing the truth. People fear what they cannot see, so they take it upon Naruto, an actual being, to display their anger. Overall, Kurama felt guilty.

Naruto first contemplated what his friend said, then shook his head to forget about his suffering in the past. Although he was being shunned and ostracized, the experience helped him grow into the person he is today. On top of that, he developed bonds and friendships with people he couldn't replace. After the fight with Pein, the people of Konoha finally acknowledged him, so clinging to the past will only lead to depression.

'There is no need to apologize, Kurama…' he calmly replied. He then shifted his attention back to the woman and smiled calmly. "Well…Growing up, I was alone and had no parents, so maybe that's why I had no documented records. Then before you guys found me in the ocean, a group of people kidnapped me for ransom but ended up trying to kill me after I tried to escape. It's only a coincidence that I landed here," he shrugged upon finishing.

The woman peered into him before closing her eyes and sighing upon placing a finger on his pulse. There was no lie in his statement, and it is possible to have no records if you had no parents. Observing the blonde, he seemed young, which means he is only starting his journey in life. Furthermore, since there was a large storm last night, it was only plausible that he floated close to the island. Although, she is quite intrigued about how he survived. She stood up and exited the cell to report what she gathered back to Lucci.


"What have you found, Kalifa?" asked a man in a low, deep voice. His name is Lucci, a tall and slim man with arched eyebrows, a close-shaved goatee, and dark-wavy hair in a ponytail. Also, he has a pet pigeon perching on his right shoulder.

The now-named Kalifa entered a room and saw seven individuals, including Lucci, looking at her, waiting to hear news about the suspicious person. They were members of CP9, a deadly group of assassins under the World Government who would eliminate anyone for the sake of Justice. Their current Director is Spandam, a pale man who wears a leather mask that covers the bridge of his nose.

"He stated the reason for his lack of documents was due to his status as an orphan. In addition, he explained that a group kidnapped him for ransom, but as he tried to escape, he was caught and battered before they dumped him in the ocean, thinking he was dead. Lastly, due to the storm, he floated near the island." She sat on the couch as she finished. "I checked his pulse, and there was no indication of him lying." She looked back at her companions and thought the same thing.

"I call bullshit!" a man shouted in disagreement. He is Jabra, a tall, dark-skinned man with a Fu Manchu mustache, a pointed goatee, and braided black hair that looks similar to a scorpion's tail. "Anyone can lie like that!" He remarked while huffing.

"I usually disagree with the mutt. However, it seems our guest is not an ordinary individual. He has some ulterior motive before his arrival," Lucci blankly commented. "Although it may seem a coincidence, this situation could be plotted, making us believe he was kidnapped and abandoned. You did observe his odd behavior, right, Kaku?"

"What did you say, you damned cat?!" Jabra shouted as Lucci called him a 'mutt.' He was seconds away from lunging at Lucci, only to be stopped by Kalifa. Huffing, he walked away and continued listening, as they had more important matters to deal with.

Kaku nodded while folding his arms. "Yeah. His injuries were not fake at all. Even so, the rate at which he was healing seemed inhumane. I speculate that he ate a Devil Fruit, which would explain his healing abilities. Knowing this, he could've planned to get beat up as he would heal from it anyways with no worries. Using the 'storm' as a pretext, he traveled here to Enies Lobby."

"You think he is involved in recovering Nico Robin or Cutty Flam, along with the Straw Hats?" asked Blueno. He is a man with big lips, a black beard, and hair resembling the horns of a bull.

"It's improbable," remarked Kalifa as she spoke once again. "During our five years of espionage in Water Seven, not once have we seen him. On top of that, it's unlikely that he correlates with Cutty Flam or Nico Robin. We've stockpiled information about those two, and Naruto is nowhere in connection."

"That's enough!" yelled Spandam in annoyance as he struck the table. "Stop rambling about this nonsense! He is insignificant in comparison to Nico Robin and Cutty Flam! Execute that blonde fool!" he grinned wickedly at the plan. "He is useless, and he poses no threat to us. Let's commence our plans! After all this, we'll celebrate with a toast on our ships! Then CP9 will be recognized as heroes of the world! Hahaha!"

The rest of CP9 walked to the exit after receiving orders. Spandam was right. If something was going to hinder their plans, it was proper that they get rid of it. The existence of both Nico Robin and Cutty Flam was far more significant, as they both could make the Ancient Weapon that could destroy the world.

As everyone exited the room, Lucci stayed and narrowed his eyes at Spandam, which perplexed the latter. "Hmm? Something the matter, Lucci?"

"As long as the World Government deems you as the Director for this group, then we should follow your orders. Despite that, it doesn't mean that we should follow your ideals. I don't want status or riches." He spoke in a warning.

Spandam started sweating nervously upon hearing Lucci. "T-then, what could you want?" he stuttered.

"Blood," he answered eerily. "CP9 has the privilege to eliminate anyone in the name of justice." He finished before walking away, leaving Spandam apprehensive.


"You sure it's above us, Kurama?" asked Naruto as he dashed into an empty passageway. After a suggestion from the fox to leave his cell, he immediately surveyed the place. He figured he was in a tower with multiple floors empty, except for the deck above, which Kurama said contained the 'wicked aura' he mentioned earlier. Now, after a long argument with the fox, the blonde eventually opts to find that person. "I can't wait to beat the hell out of this person! Putting me in a cell just because you don't know me! Who does that?!" he complained, flailing his arm in the air. Then he grinned as he smashed his fist into his palm.


Finally making it to the top floor, the blonde suddenly stopped as he found two other individuals with chains clasped behind them, all beaten, next to a sizeable door with a fancy design. One was a woman with black hair and blue eyes on the ground, while the other was a man wearing shades with a pompadour sitting near a pillar. Upon seeing Naruto, the man with a pompadour called out to him.

"Huh?! Who are you?!" asked the man with a pompadour. He squirmed, trying to get close to the blonde. "I'll get you!"

"W-what?!" asked Naruto as he held his hands up in defense. "I didn't even do anything! I also was imprisoned like you guys. Those bastards — CP9, I think? — placed me in a cell because they couldn't find information about my history and became suspicious." He folded his arms and scoffed. "I'm on my way to beat their ass right now!"

After hearing that he was confined by the same people — while planning to take revenge! — the woman and pompadour man widened their eyes. First, it was shocking that he escaped, considering the shackles were as hard as diamonds. Secondly, conceiving revenge against CP9, people with superhuman abilities, was ludicrous. The blonde is only hasting his death.

"'Beat their ass'! Are you out of your mind?!" the pompadour man asked in bewilderment. "Do you know who those people are?!"

"...I just said they were CP9…." The blonde muttered. "Anyways, we have to get out of here." He walked towards the two and gripped the chains. After a few seconds, his hands suddenly engulfed in bright, yellow light and crushed the cuffs with no struggle. "Come on! Let's go!" he commanded as he started walking away. Noticing there were no footsteps following him, he looked back and furrowed his eyebrows at the shocked gazes of the two. "What…?"

"You crushed it like it was nothing!" the pompadour man remarked in awe. Suddenly, he posed a strike where he leaned and bent his knees on one side, throwing his head back, and locked his wrist together over his head. Naruto raised his eyebrows in confusion but accepted it. He noted that people in this place are odd. "Super! Brother, you're amazing!"

"Thanks. But can you put some pants on?!" Naruto asked/begged as he saw the man only wearing swimming trunks, displaying his hairy legs.

"I can't do that!" the man replied as he grinned, leaving the blonde to look at him in horror. "Who are you, man? By the way, I'm Franky, ship dismantler and bounty hunter!" He introduced striking a pose once again.

Naruto reciprocated by posing a strike of his own by putting his palms up and spreading his legs widely, similar to a specific sage pervert. "A Sage from Mount Myokubo, that even a crying baby would stare in awe…Naruto Uzumaki!" He finished and grinned when he saw Franky comically have stars in his eyes.

The dark-haired woman sweatdropped as she witnessed the antics of both. She imagined Luffy and Chopper fitting in with the two, with Zoro laughing and Nami scolding them. She immediately shook her head to get rid of her thoughts. She left the crew, and her life now belonged to the World Government. Thinking of the past will only weaken her resolve.

"We should go," said Naruto.

"I agree!" replied Franky as they both started walking.

However, Naruto looked back when he noticed the woman standing in her place with her head down, pondering. "What are you doing?" he asked confusingly. "There is nothing to worry about. I'm more than capable of defeating those people." He said as he proudly pointed at himself. Noticing the solemn look on the woman, he spoke in a blank tone. "Don't succumb to your enemies. You're too transparent. I could tell that you were contemplating death. Simply, you are not ready." He held his hands as the woman widened her eyes. "Come with me…."

The woman slapped his hand away and gritted her teeth as she looked down. "What would you know? I've accepted my fate, and it's to die at the hands of the government! Let me be!"

The blonde frowned and sighed. "Augh! You're stubborn! We're strangers, but I can't overlook the fact that you need help. It's annoying, but at least let me help you get out of this place, and then you can do whatever you want in life!" Naruto grabbed the woman before carrying her in bridal style as they moved on. She squirmed, trying to exit his grip, but it was futile. He was simply too strong.

"Let me go!"

"No can do!"

"Hey! You lovebirds finished yet?!" Franky frantically asked as he kept guard. If they come across CP9, then their escape will get tricky.

"Shut up, Franky!" shouted Naruto as he became flustered.

'You've always been a sucker for looks….'

'Not you too, Kurama!'

The woman again tried to escape from the blonde's grasp but failed, as expected. There was no use in saving her. She will only bring destruction wherever she goes. Complying with CP9 was the only thing she could do. Lastly, going against them would end up tragic. They are people who exceeded in combat.

"Let's go —" Naruto was interrupted when a door opened as the CP9 exited. He widened his eyes at the aura they emitted. It was dark, but one, in particular, stood out. It was the man with a large black top hat with a pigeon perched on his shoulder. The blonde narrowed his eyes. So the person came to him instead.

"Where do you fools think you're going?" asked Lucci in a low tone. Focusing his attention on Naruto, he raised his eyebrows as he carried Robin. It could only mean one thing. "Don't think you can escape."

"Tsk. I shouldn't have left him," said Kaku as he folded his arms.

"I find it astounding that you escaped your cell, considering it's made of Sea Prism — they are as hard as diamonds," remarked Kalifa as she fixed her glasses.

"Hahaha! How comical!" Jabra laughed. "To think you almost let a rat out of your hand, Lucci! You've gone soft from your five years of being a shipwright!"

"Yet, your abilities are incomparable to mine. You've made no progress," retorted Lucci.

"What did you say, you cat?!" Jabra asked in an enraged tone. "Just because Fukurou measured your level doesn't mean shit!" He then cracked his knuckles as he prepared to lunge at Lucci. "How about I'll let you kiss my feet?!"

"I might just kill you if you attempt to do that," threatened Lucci.

"Really, you guys?" asked Kaku disappointingly. "This is not the time to fight. We have other matters to attend to. Kalifa, you stop Jabra." He said as they both created a distance between Jabra and Lucci.

"These were the people that imprisoned us?!" whispered Naruto to Franky in bewilderment. While it was comical, they were in disbelief that a professional group would indulge in trivial bickering. "Franky, carry this woman and escape. I'll defeat them so we won't get annoyed!" The blonde suggested as Franky nodded. However, before they could move, CP9 already focused their attention on them.

"That won't be necessary," said Blueno, surprising both Franky and Naruto with his hearing abilities. "Trying to defy us is foolish. Although, even if you seek forgiveness, the punishment shall be bestowed upon the three of you."

"Ack! Brother, this is bad!" whispered Franky. "What are we gonna do?!"

"Don't worry. You two, just run. I got this," assured Naruto with his face covered by shadow.

"Just let me go! It's futile to go against them!" the woman said irritatingly. "You can't defeat them."

"At least someone in your group has common sense," said Blueno. "Hand over Nico Robin and Cutty Flam."

"I see. So that's your name, huh?" asked the blonde as he smiled at the woman now named Robin. After releasing her from his gasp, she was surprised when he walked towards CP9. "As I said, don't worry, Robin. I'll take care of this."

Spotting the face of confidence of Naruto, Lucci knew that the former had some plans that he couldn't overlook. Doing so will bring unpredictable circumstances. "Kalifa, Fukorou, and Kumadori… make sure Cutty Flam and Nico Robin don't escape the premises." He ordered once he saw them running away.

Naruto ran to stop the trio, but he was sent back to a nearby wall by an attack by both Kaku and Lucci. Dusting off the rock debris, Naruto stood back up and stretched his arms. 'A projectile attack? But they don't have weapons. Could it be it came from their kicks? He pondered before grinning. "This is fun!"

Charging towards Kaku and Lucci, before he could send out a punch, another projectile attack was heading towards his flank. Twisting his body mid-air, he evaded it, surprising the CP9. Then Blueno appeared behind him and was about to stab him with his finger, but the blonde quickly dodged it. As soon as he landed, Kaku and Jabra sent out a kick that he blocked with his arms by forming an 'X.'

"Hehehe. You guys are not so tough, after all," remarked Naruto as he was unscathed, despite the attacks.

"Then let's take it up a notch, shall we?" asked Lucci as he had a menacing smile. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows at the statement but quickly understood as his eyes widened. Lucci's clothes started ripping off as his body became enlarged, his skin turning yellow with black spots before turning into a half-leopard.

"I guess I'll do it too!" grinned Jabra. His process was the same as Lucci's as he turned into a wolf-human. He bore his fangs at Naruto and was fiending for blood.

"You know, right now would be the best time to try out mine," said Kaku. He transformed into a giraffe-human hybrid, and Jabra laughed uncontrollably at his transformation. "What are you laughing at?!"

"A giraffe! How lame!"

"Cut it off! I like it!"

Naruto looked at the remaining member, Blueno, and folded his arms while raising an eyebrow. "How about you? Are you going to transform into something? Maybe a bull?" he asked.

Jabra couldn't help but laugh as tears started coming out. "He's funny! I like you, kid! (hmph!) if only you weren't an enemy."

Shifting his attention back, Naruto displayed a disinterested expression. Looking at the enemies in front of him, he didn't feel threatened. After going against Madara, Sasuke, Kurama, Ten-tails, and many more god-like beings, the ones in front of him were mere ants. "I've faced enemies much enormous and scarier than you. Nonetheless, I am surprised at the weird transformation. It suddenly feels like a costume party, you know?" He grinned as he saw them gritting their teeth. "I guess it's my turn, right?"

Naruto's body got coated in yellow chakra; a sort of circular design is featured prominently over his stomach; the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker; various other dark designs appear along his body, sometimes densely enough to give the appearance that he's wearing a body suit beneath the yellow coat. His skin, however, remained the same slightly tanned.

"You're not the only ones with abilities," he remarked upon seeing Kaku and Jabra gawking while Lucci glared. "Let's continue, shall we?


A/N: I lowkey rushed the ending, but at the same time, it was a perfect place to leave a cliffhanger. But I'm guessing you guys already know the outcome of this fight, right?

I'm still contemplating on whether or not I should make it a harem. However, if its only a single pairing, then it will be Robin, of course. On the other hand, if its harem, then...I'll decide later on future chapters.

I'll catch you next chapter!
