Hey guys, so I'm glad many of you guys liked the story and some of you even gave me some feedback. I greatly appreciate it, just note if I mess up with some of the Groves in the story feel free to let me know. Anyways I'd like to once again thank Dark Flacon for letting me bounce Ideas off him and everyone else who gave suggestions. Everything is noted and should I use any of your idea's I'll be sure to credit you. Some were worried that his power would be too OP and I agree but there's restrictions and limits just like all others, it'll be explained here.
Anyways that's enough of that, let's get on with the story.
The crew had finally made it to Sabaody Archipelago. After the incident with the Navy they ran into little to no trouble. It took them a week and a half to reach the place but they made it. In the time it took them to get there the crew had warmed up to their blond crew mate. They were still cautious around him but since their captain trusted him, they would give him a chance.
The sudden stop of the sub let them know that they were ready to surface. Bepo took them up and soon enough they were heading outside. Naruto looked around in amazement at how tall the trees were as well as all the bubbles that surrounded the place. He looked to the nearest tree and read 'Grove 20' in white lettering.
Stepping onto the island the crew began walking. They walked in silence taking it all in for a few minutes before realizing something.
"There's nobody here." Law said as he looked at some of the buildings. They were beat down and looked like they hadn't been used by any residents in a while. They continued walking deeper into the trees before both Naruto and Law stopped, drawing attention from the rest of the crew.
They both looked up at the same time. "Hey, you feel that?" Naruto asked his captain.
"Yeah" As soon as Law replied thirteen men appeared from atop the tree branches.
"Hahaha looks like we got one boys. You're bounty is mine!" One of them yelled as he jumped down, his blade high in the air. The rest following soon after.
Law raised his hand, palm facing the ground and a white circle began spinning before expanding considerably. "Room" He said calmly as a light blue dome quickly appeared around the surrounding area. All thirteen bounty hunters were within the dome.
Naruto looked down to see a piece of wood next to his foot. He kicked the piece into the air in direction of one of the bounty hunters. The man just tilted his head letting it sail pass him. "Law" Naruto called out.
In an instant the blond disappeared from his spot and was replaced with the wood. He reappeared behind the man and quickly cut the man up into three pieces. Normally this is where he would've died but instead the pieces just began floating about.
Law unsheathed his Nodachi and made several quick slicing moments before sheathing his weapon. Everyone was now no more than floating body parts in Law's Room.
"I heard about this technique when I was researching you but seeing it in person is even more impressive." Naruto comments as he watches Law make circular motions with his hands. The body parts begin connecting with different ones and some were even sticking to the trees and surrounding items.
"Hey stop, that's my leg." One yelled
"That's my arm, what are you doing?!" Another yelled as he watched his leg be attacked to where the head of someone else was supposed to be. The rest of the crew watched with wide eyes as their crew mates handled them like nothing. The hunters didn't even make it to the ground.
Law cancelled the technique and was about to keep walking when he saw Naruto walk up to one of the bodies. The blond noticed a few pieces of brown paper sticking out of the pockets of one of the guys. He quickly snatched them and checked them out.
"Wanted posters" He thoughts as he shuffled through them. "I don't know if you were their main target but you're one of them for sure." He commented as he holds up Law's wanted poster. He looks at the rest with a calculating eye.
"I recognize every single person on this list. Wait, this one's different." He thinks as he looks it over. "A map of the archipelago, sweet." He threw the posters away while keeping the map.
"So groves 1-29 are a lawless area." Law says as he reads over the notes on the map. "The supplies are going to be in grove 40 then." He adds. They nod and head on their way. After that first initial attack they were only ambushed one more time and settled it with almost no difficulty on their part.
After about twenty minutes of walking they finally arrived at grove forty after having passed by the amusement park. There were bright lights and plenty of people going about their day unlike where they had arrived.
"Well we're definitely in the right place." Naruto commented as he looked around. "Everything from fishmen to things I haven't seen before are here." He added after seeing a blue skinned man pass by.
"We're above fishman island so that's probably why there are some fishmen here." Law told him. Naruto was about to say something else when the sound of his stomach rumbling stopped him.
"Come to think of it I haven't had a meal in about ten hours." Naruto said as he looked around for a place to eat. Bepo and the others murmured in agreement.
"I could go for some food myself." Law said as he walked forward. Not too far away was a decent looking restaurant, and if the smell coming from it was any indication it was rather good. They were seated near the back of the restaurant and were given appetizers.
As Naruto was taking in the environment he noticed four people who stood out in the building.
The first was an older looking man surrounded by a few others wearing similar suits to his standing behind him as he ate.
He is a short man with a stocky build whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of a Mafia boss. He sports an oiled-up and slicked-back hairstyle befitting that of a crime don. His facial features have a very stern look to them further accentuated by his rather sharp but hooking beak-like nose. He also has five o'clock stubble on his upper lip. He wears a black-and-white pinstriped attire, complete with a green scarf around his neck, with the excess tucked inside the suit. His name Is Capone 'Gang' Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates. His head is worth 138 million beri.
Diagonal from him was a tall, muscular man with pale skin and bright red hair, resembling flames. His nose has a particular shape, being quite pointed and having little protrusions on both sides. He has dark reddish purple colored lips and fingernails, red/orange eyes and no eyebrows.
His attire consists of black and yellow lizard-print pants with a red fringe, motorcycle boots, and a blue sash under a green belt fastened by a large circular buckle with a four-leaf clover-like pattern in the middle. He also has a slim bandolier, also with minuscule bolts that go diagonally over his right shoulder then ties to his waist. His name is Eustass 'Captain' Kid. His head is worth 315 million beri.
The next one was a female who was currently sitting atop the table with multiple plates stacking up at a rapid pace. Her outfit consists of a white low-cut tank top that exposes both her midriff and cleavage, along with a pair of orange-and-black striped buckled shorts with long, thin suspenders. She also wears black high-heeled boots which reach up to her calves, with large laces coming from the openings, and a pair of hot pink and dark red stockings with a yellow sun-like motif on them. The hat she wears is a green Furażerka with a light-green lining. She has an anti-eyebrow below her right eye, bright red lipstick on her lips, and is sometimes seen wearing a brown furred jacket. She has long pink hair and purple eyes. Her name is Jewelry Bonney. Captain of the Bonney Pirates. Her head is worth 140 million beri.
Finally was a man with incredibly long arms, that and he had two elbow joints on each arm. He wears a set of orange headphones with his name on either side over his ears and hairstyle similar to Jabra's, where the hair on his scalp has been pulled tightly so that his roots resemble lightning patterns. A red Chinese garb with crew's Jolly Roger at the center of a large flower-like print splayed across the chest area, as well as on his back. He also has a yellow scarf around his waist. His name is Scratchman Apoo Captain of the On Air Pirates. His head is worth 198 million Beri.
"Well that explains all the bounty hunters here." Law says as he began eating the food that was brought to them. Finishing his bite he added "This place is crawling with high bounty pirates. You'd have been in heaven here if you were still just a bounty hunter."
The Heart Pirates weren't the only ones who noticed this either. Eustass ate a piece of meat and spoke to his crew, though he spoke loud enough for mostly everyone to hear him. "Three big names in one place. Ten of us total here with bounties over 100 million." He said not recognizing who Apoo was.
"There's supposed to be eighteen more." Answered Apoo.
Eustass looked at him for a second before asking "who the hell are you?" rudely.
Naruto took this opportunity to let himself be known. "Scratman Apoo. Also known as the Sea Roar. He also has a bounty over 100 million so that would make it eleven on the island." He told Eustass before turning to Apoo.
"Also, the other eighteen won't be making it here or to the New World" He informed him.
"Yeah?" Asked an irritated Eustass "How would you know? Come to think of it who the hell are you too? I recognize Law next to you but I have no idea who you are." He said. At this point he'd gotten the attention of both Capone and Bonney, the latter of which was still eating.
"First mate of the Heart Pirates, Uzumaki Naruto. No bounty." He introduced. Kid, along with a large majority of the pirates in the room began laughing uncontrollably at this. Law and Naruto both let a small smirk come across their faces, these guys had no idea.
Finally having gotten himself under control Eustass spoke up again. "No bounty. No wonder I haven't heard of you, you're a nobody." He said while standing up. "I should just kill you now and save you the trouble of getting killed in the New World."
Not at all phased by Kid Naruto took a sip of his drink and replied. "Hmm. Perhaps you may know me by my other name." He paused for effect. "Have you ever heard of the Deathdealer?" Anyone who may have still been laughing from earlier immediately shut up. All four captains' eyebrows in the room had raised slightly.
"Ah so you have heard of me?" He asked out loud. He turned his attention strictly to Kid and said "The reason they won't be showing up is because I'm the one that killed them." Appo's eyes were the only one's who were up in disbelief.
He'd heard of the man but believed the tales to be an exaggeration. Most bounty hunters were low level wannabes with the exception of a few like Roronoa Zoro. Now he understood why he didn't have a bounty on his head.
Outside the restaurant both the residents of Sabaody and tourists alike were minding their own business when suddenly the wall exploded. Out of the smoke Naruto jumped out and stood in the middle of a couple of buildings. Placing his hands in his pockets he sighed as he really should have seen something like this coming.
Capone, Bonney, and Apoo also jumped outside, though they stayed off to the side interested in what would happen. Law too joined as he brought his food outside and sat atop a wooden crate. It was one thing to watch him fight low level marines and bounty hunters, but this would be more interesting.
"You should really stop before you end up dead Kid." Naruto warned.
"You bastard!" Kid yelled in anger as he glared at the blond. "One of the pirates you recently killed was an informant of mine. You've managed to set me back quite a bit, and for that you're going to die." He said as he used his devil fruit powers to draw any metal objects towards him. Guns, swords, scrap metal all began gathering at Kid's hand as he raised it up high.
Naruto watched as the metal began taking the form of a giant hand that began descending upon him. He easily dodged the first hit, letting it make a big crater in the ground before jumping over a swipe. He continued to jump, duck, and dodge the swipes before having to draw his blade to deflect pieces of sharp scrap metal attacking him.
"Should we help him captain?" Asked Bepo.
"Nah, he'll be fine." replied their captain cooly.
"Looks like he's not gonna stop. Might as well get my name out there. Show time." He thought before jumping and letting himself get hit with a hard swipe by the metal fist. He was sent flying face first into a building. It collapsed soon after burying him in rubble.
"Hahahaha!" Kid laughed as he deactivated his powers allowing all the metal to drop. "Serves you right."
Bonney took a bite of her pizza and spoke. "Looks like you're gonna need a new first mate Law. He's probably dead. Looks like those stories about him were just rumors after all." Law says nothing but is watching the rubble through slightly narrowed eyes.
"I know that's not enough to take you out. What are you up to?" He thought. He was right as pieces of the building began moving before a hand appeared. Eustass frowned as he saw it and allowed some electricity to gather at his hand, ready to activate his power once more.
The blond stood up, blood dripping down from his forehead. They watch in disgust as he makes a cup with his hand under his chin and lets the blood collect before drinking it.
"What the fuck?" Asked Kid saying what everyone was thinking. Everyone minus Law and the Heart Pirates that is. "Allows me to perfectly calculate the absolute lethal dose of anything I consume. The amount that will cause death without fail" He recalled the blond saying when he joined.
"Did you really think that would be enough to kill me Kid?" Naruto asked rhetorically. "Well it doesn't matter. Just know your death is imminent from this point on." He said.
"I've lowered your body's lethal dose tolerance in your blood system." He explained. Most of the spectators were wondering what he was talking about since they hadn't seen him do anything.
"What are you talking about?" Kid asked
"It's a special ability of my devil fruit. All you need to know is that the blood circulating through your veins is bringing you closer and closer to death." The blond said.
Kid grit his teeth as he felt his body start becoming weaker. He wasn't stupid, he knew the blond wasn't lying since he was feeling the effects. "If my body's tolerance was decreased then all I have to do is lose a little blood then." He thought as he reached for his dagger.
He pulled it out and prepared to stab himself in the gut with it but was stopped as his opponent spoke up once more.
"I know what you're thinking. You're thinking you're just gonna cut yourself and lower your blood. Sorry to say but it's not that easy." Naruto said before he took a quick look at Kid.
"A man of your stature looks to be about 95kg. The approximate ration of blood per kg is about 65.7 milliliters of blood per every kg of weight. So you have roughly six liters of blood in your body." Naruto began. Law being the medic he is nodded in agreement. He was inwardly impressed by the blonds knowledge of the human body.
"Though I guess with his power it would be in his best interest." He thought.
"If you lose half of that, in this case three liters, you'll die of blood loss. On top of that the lethal dose your body can handle, I've decided, is two liters." He said loving the wide eyed look of fear on Kid and everyone else's eyes.
"I know you're not as stupid as you look but I'll spell it out for you anyways. Either you'll die of blood loss, or you'll be killed by your own blood circulating through your viens." It was at this point that Kid coughed up a bit of blood and fell down face first.
His crew quickly came to his aid. Every pirate who had witnessed the 'battle' watched in both fear and awe. Kid had the highest bounty of them all and was by no means weak, and had been beaten like nothing.
"So that's why they call him the Deathdealer." Capone said as he took a puff of his cigar. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't the least bit worried about this man.
"The Surgeon of Death and the Deathdealer." Began Apoo "That's a ridiculously terrifying combination." He said as he wiped his forehead. He hadn't even realized he'd begun sweating. Naruto walked up to the downed form of Kid ignoring the man's crew.
"Don't worry Kid, you'll live. I just want you to know how easily I could've killed you is I so wished." With that being said he turned and noticed that the staff had all left the restaurant. "Damn, gotta go eat somewhere else."
The crew stood up and began heading for another restaurant. As Law walked by Kid he spoke "And after all that big talk inside…" He trailed off slightly "This is what happens when you rush into a fight without a plan." Saying his piece he walked next to Naruto as they left.
The people watching all began muttering to themselves about what they had just seen. They watched as Kid got up and glared at both Law and Naruto as they walked away. He made a promise to himself that he'd kill both of them in the New World.
"You know you've just made us enemies of the Kid Pirates." Law said with an amused tone.
"Yeah but it's nothing we can't handle. They were already a potential enemy anyways." Naruto replied
"Hmm. So that was another of your devil fruit abilities." Law said more than asked.
"Yeah, it's one of the stronger ones." The blond replied.
"So then encountering an admiral won't be too much of a problem then?" He asked.
"No, it'll still be a problem. That ability only works on Paramecia and Zoan type users as well as regular non devil fruit fighters." He explained. This is what Law was interested in, this power seemed to be too good to not have some limits.
"Logia users can change their body into an element, changing the nature of their entire body. So while it would work on say, Aokiji or Akainu it won't work on someone like Kizaru. Manipulating the dosage of blood is more difficult than any other substance so it takes longer.
I was able to do it to Kid because he was arrogant. An Admiral wouldn't give me enough time to do it. Not as I am now anyways. the only one who would let me would probably be Kizaru out of curiosity but he's the one it won't work on." He told him as they entered another place.
"I knew there would have to be some big drawbacks. He'd be unstoppable if he could just do it to anyone." Law thought. "Wait." He said as he put a hand up
"Look." They looked out the window and saw Roronoa Zoro walking directly into a Celestial Dragon's path.
"Oh this is gonna be good." Naruto said as he eagerly watched.
Alright so I'll end it there. Also I did mess up with the Death dealing power in the last chapter. As long as he consumes a substance it'll work. It doesn't have to be from his opponent. Anyways a lot of you guys are voting for Viola, Kalifa, and surprisingly Monet. There's still time to let your voice be heard so don't hesitate.
Once more if you're a big one piece head and would like to drop some ideas or would allow me to bounce my own ideas to you please let me know.
Now as always if you have any suggestions or comments leave them in a review or PM me. Later.
