Yo, I'm back with another chapter. I'm glad most of you are liking the story so far and have been giving me ideas of what you want to see. I'm really grateful for that as I seem to learn something new everytime I talk to one of you guys. Anyways it's looking like a lot of you guys want Money or Viola. Still haven't decided but should it be Monet I think I'll use her full human form. May have a different pairing up until then since that's still a bit away.
Anyways enough of that let's get on with the chapter.
The crew watched as Zoro stopped in front of the celestial dragon who had an annoyed look on his face. Naruto noticed that the fat man was standing next to a chained man who looked half dead already and had who women chained at the neck.
He scowled "They like to paint us as the bad guys but the Marines allow shit like this to happen. Hypocrites." He says angrily.
Law raised an eyebrow. "You got a personal problem with the Celestial Dragons?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah I hate them. Look at them." He motions to the mans head "Inside their little bubble because they can't be bothered to breathe 'our' air."
"It's too bad they can't be touched." Bepo commented "The moment someone defies them the navy will have an admiral here in a heartbeat." He said.
"Yea we can't touch them…" Naruto said as he noticed the man was eating an ice cream cone.
Back outside Zoro asked if he needed directions. The man was shocked and quickly raised his golden gun and aimed it at the pirate. Anyone with any observation skills noticed Roronoa smirk and get ready to strike.
"He's gonna do it." Said Law, an entertained smile slowly creeping onto his face. They watch him dodge the bullets fired and pull his blades out of their sheath. Just as he was going to go for the killing blow they watched as he was tackled to the ground by Jewelry Bonney.
While everyone was preoccupied watching what was going on outside Naruto quickly snatched an ice cream cone from a waitress that was nearby quick enough not to be noticed. "Won't get a chance like this again will we?" He whispered to himself. He didn't know that Bepo had heard him.
Watched as the fat man turned around to leave while continuing eating his dessert. The moment the man finished the cone Naruto quickly downed the ice cream and looked at the retreating dragon with an evil look on his face.
"Did you just…" Bepo asked and trailed off.
"I'm going to lower it slowly throughout the day. I guarantee this much though, by the end of today the world will have one less asshole." He says chuckling as they continue eating.
After their meal they left the building and the crew discussed what supplies needed to be obtained. "I'm gonna go check out a pharmacy I saw a while back." Law said, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin would be joining him.
"Well I'm gonna head to Sabaody Park and see what I can do." Naruto said.
"Alright then, we'll meet back here in an hour and a half." Law told them and they headed in their own directions.
It didn't take him too long to reach the park and the first thing that stood out to him was a certain man. He was wearing a red vest with a brown straw hat. "Monkey D Luffy, 300 million Beri bounty just barely below Kid." He said to himself.
Had he still been a bounty hunter he would've attacked then and there. He shrugged and continued with his business, unless Law wanted him dead he'd live. "Heh, I never thought I'd be taking orders from someone. Good thing I'm not prideful." he thought to himself before looking around.
He didn't have to look for long as he noticed an attractive older woman sitting by herself on a bench. He smiled brightly. "It must be my lucky day" He thought as he approached her. His luck with women was still good as an hour later the two found themselves sharing a drink as he listened to her tell him about herself.
He was listening her tell him about how flexible she was when he heard something rather interesting. It was thanks to his time hunting that he was able to pick up the conversation.
"We need to head to the human auction house, I heard they're selling a giant and a mermaid." One of the guys whispered.
"No way what time?" the other asked.
"It starts at four o'clock." Naruto narrowed his eyes, this place sold people and fishmen like it was a regular occurrence. Like it was ok.
"That's facinating." Naruto told the woman. "Well sorry to cut this short sweetheart but I have to go. If I'm around again soon I'll look you up." He told her before he headed back to their meet up spot. "A shame, this one looked like she was one of the wild ones."
When he made it back to the meet up spot he noticed that the crew had already gathered. Hope they hadn't been waiting long. They noticed him and Law nodded to him in a specific direction and began walking.
"We're going to grove 1" He said as he caught up to them. "I heard about an auction and wanted to check it out." he explained.
"I was just about to tell you the same thing." Bepo noticed that Naruto was the only one of them who didn't have anything on him and asked him about it.
"Oh I spent my time with this gorgeous woman I met at the park." He answered happily. The crew sweat dropped. Of all the things he could've been doing he decided to spend his time hitting on women. "Anyways, I overheard some guys talking and apparently they're selling a mermaid and a giant, that seems to be what has people excited." He told them.
"The people around here hate the fishmen and merfolk." He told them as they walked "If they really do have a mermaid I wouldn't doubt it if the Celestial Dragons showed up." They all walked in silence from that point on. They made it to the auction house as everyone was arriving. Many of these people were older and most likely some sort of 'noble'.
They walked inside and sat almost in the center of the rows towards the left side if you're looking down from the entrance. Law and Naruto took their seats with the rest of the crew being one row behind them. Bepo even held on to Law's nodachi for him.
As they waited for the auction to begin they heard a man and a woman speaking about what they were looking to buy. One was in the market for a giant, where as the old man was trying to buy some 'eye candy'.
"These people are sick." Bepo said quietly.
"Shows how corrupt the marines are if they turn a blind eye to this." Law says lazily. The seats began filling up fast and as Naruto was seeing who was here he felt an elbow to the ribs. Looking over he noticed Law nod somewhere in the direction behind them. Turning his body around he noticed that, there, next to the entrance were the Kid pirates. They were looking at the two Celestial Dragons that had just arrived and were making their way down.
"Celestial Dragons, Slaves, Human shops. Heh. When the people in power act this cruel and greedy it makes common criminals like us look pretty humane by comparison. When scum like that are the ones writing the rules it creates more scum." Kid said. "They hate pirates but they're the ones who made them. At least we're honest about being bad people right Killer?" He asked his first mate.
"Seems like he feels the way we do somewhat to a degree." Law said. They watched as one of his crew members spotted them and told his captain. Kid looked to them and glared, still being pissed off about what had transpired earlier. He got even angrier when he saw Law smirk and flip him off.
Kid began to walk forward but was stopped by Killer. "Relax captain, if we cause a scene the Celestial Dragons will get angry; and if we do anything to upset them the navy will send out an Admiral." He said reasoning with his hot headed captain.
"Tsk. Just you two wait." Kid said angrily as he took one last moment to glare at them before turning away. Finally the auction began and the first to be sold was a male slave, followed by a pack of male slaves. They were really selling people like they were a pack of soda.
After those two Disco announced that the next was a woman. She seemed to be rather young, perhaps in her mid twenties and was dressed like a maid in a green and white outfit. Naruto overheard the same older man from the beginning saying how this one was his. He hears Disco mention how she could cook, clean, and good at a countless variety of games.
"Law." Naruto calls. The man glanced at him. "She doesn't look like she's from Sabaody does she?"
"No. If I had to wager I'd say she's been kidnapped. That's usually how people end up here." He replied. Naruto watched as she looked at everyone with frightened eyes before her eyes met his and she mouthed 'please help me'.
The crew heard the bids begin at 600,000 all the way to 3 million beri by the old man.
"How many people does the Polar Tang hold?" Naruto asked suddenly. The crew looked at him and noticed he hadn't taken his eyes off of the girl, likewise she was still pleading for help.
Law had an idea of what he was up to but responded anyways. "It'll hold an entire crew of over twenty five people."
"If she's not from around here and has no where to go how would you feel about adding someone for a while? If she's got a family somewhere we can just drop her off." He asked shocking the crew members. Law sighs.
"For a feared pirate killer you seem to have a lot more compassion than you let on. Go ahead." He told him.
"Any more bidders?" Disco called out loudly.
"3,500,000 Beri." Naruto called out holding up the number that was under his seat. Everyone turned to look at him including the pirates who seemed just as shocked to hear him make a bid on a person.
"4,000,…" The old man began before Naruto cut him off offering five million. The old man grit his teeth before standing up and yelling out 10,000,000 Beri. He turned to look at Naruto with a smug expression.
"11,000,000" Naruto countered calmly. He had taken down numerous pirates worth over a hundred million, this was nothing to him. The old mans mouth dropped in shock that he'd been out bid and watched as Disco danced around happily. "Any more bids?" He asked before slamming his mallet down on the wood.
"She's yours number 44 for 11,000,000 Beri." He yelled loudly. Naruto watched as she sighed a breath of relief knowing she wouldn't be sent to an old man. She now hoped that he'd be kind to her. Little did she know if she was from here she'd be set free soon.
Soon another female and a pirate captain were up for sale in which the pirate captain decided to bite off his own tongue than to be taken a slave. As he was being tended too they heard the sound of a door opening and another Celestial Dragon walking in. It was the same one from earlier today.
Naruto felt a nudge on his shoulder. "I thought you were killing him?" Bepo asked.
"I'm still going to. I've been lowering his resistance to dairy slowly throughout the day. I'll off him right before we depart." He answered.
The main attraction had finally appeared and to most people's amazement it was a mermaid. Naruto recalled she was the same person that he'd briefly seen with Straw Hat earlier today. The bids didn't even get to begin as the moment she went on sale the fat Celestial Dragon bid 500,000,000 Beri.
Even though there was no one to compete Disco asked if there were any other bidders. As soon as he was finalizing the transaction the entrance doors blew up. When the smoke cleared up they saw Luffy yell for his friend before rushing down the stairs.
"This'll be interesting." Law said as he watched the events unfold. Unfortunately his friend tried to hold him back but in the process revealed four extra arms allowing everyone to know he was a fishman. The crowd panicked and began throwing things at him before the Celestial Dragon that bought the mermaid shot him.
The one they called Hatchi rolled down a few sets of stairs before stopping. Luffy began walking towards his target before a hand grabbed him.
"Is he really about to kill a Celestial Dragon in front of everyone?" Naruto thought to himself as Hatchi tried to talk Luffy out of it. For a brief second it looked like he was successful, until the fat man sealed his fate by telling him he was annoying and was ready to shoot him again.
That was the last straw as Luffy walked up to him dodging the bullets as he fired. He pulled his hand back and punched him so hard he shot into the crowd up a few flights of stairs. It was completely silent. Everyone couldn't believe what they had just seen. Both Kid and Law smirked as they too couldn't believe that he was crazy enough to attack like that.
"You!" Yelled the other Celestial Dragon. "You dare touch my son!" He yelled as he too pulled out a gun and began shooting at Luffy. The room erupted into panic as everyone minus the pirates began evacuating.
"Well, that 300 million Beri bounty was definitely well earned." Law said as watched from his seat not bothering to evacuate.
"That Straw Hat is one crazy bastard." Kid told Killer. The Straw Hats began fighting with the guards while trying to rescue their mermaid friend.
"We need to hurry before the navy shows up!" One of them yelled.
"Hey Stawhat." Law calls out. Luffy turns to him with a confused look "The navy is already here." Luffy asked who he was but was ignored as the surgeon continued speaking "They've been here from before the auction even began. I don't know who they wanted but I doubt they expected someone to punch a Celestial Dragon." He said. He then let out a small laugh before adding "That was an interesting show you guys gave."
Naruto however tuned everyone out in favor of looking for Saint Charloss as he now knew he was called. "Damn, if I kill him Straw Hat will probably get the credit for it. Damn it all." he cursed before he sensed a strong burst of Haki.
Looking at the source he saw an older looking man who any pirate worth a damn would know. "Well I'll be damned." He muttered. Silvers Rayleigh walked forward calmly to look at the situation.
"For an old man he's still ridiculously strong" Naruto thought in amazement. If he wasn't impressed then he was after watching the man remove the slave collar from the girl with his bare hands. Soon after the skeleton from the Straw Hat crew gave the slaves the keys to the collars and set them free.
"Well that save me 11 million Beri." He said to himself as he saw the girl leave.
"You must all be incredibly strong to withstand that." Silvers complimented.
"I never expected to meet such a big shot. 'Dark King' Silvers Rayleigh. What's a legendary man like you doing here?" He asked.
Before they could talk everyone heard the voice of the marines outside speak to them. "Alright criminals, release the Roswalkd family at once. An admiral will be arriving shortly. I suggest you turn yourselves in." They said.
"Not only are we caught up in this but we're being treated like accomplices." Law says not at all phased.
"Well I got to see Straw hat do something crazy so there's that. But i'd rather not run into an admiral if I can avoid it. I guess I can help you guys out and show you how a real pirate takes care of things." He said as he walked towards the entrance. This angered both Luffy and Law, this was the first time he'd seen his captain actually mad about something so far.
"Like I'm going to let him show me up." Law says as he grabbed his nodachi and followed suit. Luffy said nothing but also began walking.
He stood up but said nothing and followed along as well. As he walked he could hear them arguing about going back inside and who would be the one to take care of it.
"I told you to go back inside I'll handle this." Kid said to them.
"Tell me what to do again and I'll begin by getting rid of you Eustass." Law told him angrily.
"Law. I'm going to go make sure our ship is fine. If the marines found it or seized it we're screwed. I can't go the quick way so I'll have to go the same way we came." He informed him.
Law smirked "Yeah, I'll handle it here." Naruto dashed forward and ran directly at the marines. He pulled out his blade and cut through them just enough to make a path to let him through. He could hear them begin firing at him before their attention was diverted back to the three captains.
Soon enough he was deep enough in the trees to lose them. As he ran he heard multiple explosions behind him. "They'll be fine. Some low level pirates like that won't be enough to stop them" He thinks before continuing on.
He ran for a good five minutes before stopping and jumping up onto the branch of a tree. Hiding behind one of the thicker branches he looked over and saw a bunch of marines gathered. "Tsk. normally this would be easy work but I don't want to fight a bunch of weaklings right now." He murmured to himself.
"Be on the lookout for Straw hat." He heard one of them say.
"What about Kid and Law?" Another one asked.
"Just lookout for anyone over 100 million Beri." A commander told them before they moved. He waited until they all passed him by and jumped down. He continued his run until finally he saw the town come into view.
He suddenly stopped as he felt the ground shake violently. "That was stronger than the ones I felt a few minutes ago" He thinks to himself. "It came from up ahead which means…" He let a smile appear on his face. "An admiral is here." He ran into town with a part of him hoping he'd run into whoever was sent.
Once he made it into town he noticed it was mostly deserted. The knowledge of an admiral coming scared everyone enough to leave in a haste. When he made it to the center he noticed this part had people. Everyone seemed to be circled around a man in a yellow suite.
"Kizaru" Naruto cursed. Of all the people. Looking around to make sure he wasn't seen yet he noticed a recently abandoned building and saw something that caught his attention. "That will come in handy considering Kizaru is here" He thought as he went to go retrieve it.
When he got back he watched as the admiral walked up to Basil Hawkins and asked him a question. "I'm looking for a man named Sentomaru, have you seen him?"
"Captain run we'll hold him off." One of his crew members told him.
"Don't panic. I will not die today." Hawkins replied as he pulled out a deck of cards.
"Those cards aren't going to save you from him man." Naruto thought.
"Combat, chance of defeat 100%. Escape 12%" Hawkins began. Kizaru finally got fed up and asked again. "I've never heard of such a person."
"Well that leaves me with nothing to do, and I can't let someone with a bounty like yours go free." Kizaru says in his carefree way. "Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" He asked rhetorically as his leg was already inches away from the mans face.
"This is it" Naruto whispered as he watched closely. His eyes showed Kizaru moving in slow motion as he kicked the man into the wall to their right. "I see" He thought as he mentally rewinded what he'd just seen.
He watched as Kizaru then shot a beam of light from his finger into the rubble that was Hawkins. Unfortunately for him Hawkins remained standing without a single scratch on him. Their fight was on hold as crashing through another building was the Mad Monk Urouge. He seemed to be in bad shape. From the same hold Kuma appeared and was walking towards the downed pirate. Soon after X Drake joined the battle and took on the giant man by turning into a dinosaur via an ancient Zoan devil fruit. It proved to be useless as he transformed back only seconds later due to being blasted.
"Wasn't that Kizaru's attack?" The blond wondered. He watched as Urouge stood up once more but was ultimately downed again as Kizaru casually kicked him through four buildings. The man effortlessly dispatched Scratchman Apoo as well. It was at this point that the blond decided he'd waited enough.
He walked forward and coughed into his hand. The sound caught the admirals attention and turned to look at him. "Hmm? What's this?" The man asked.
Naruto didn't grace the man with a response but was going over what he knew in his head. "Alright. His light based attacks are mostly linear unless he uses his Yata no Kagami to bounce his light off any surface. Even then any attack that turns him into light requires a second or so before taking effect." He thinks to himself.
"Well?" Kizaru asked. "You know I was going to capture the Straw Hat, Law, and Kid but it seems you want to be first." He continued.
"I doubt it." Naruto replied "Though I have noticed something." He added afterwards.
The man tilted his head in confusion. "Oh? What would that be?"
"Out of everyone you fought you never bothered to dodge or block any attack." He told him.
"Hmm. Yeah I guess that's true." Kizaru admitted "But none of them really had a chance to do anything you see, so I didn't really feel the need to." he answered lazily.
"So you don't block because you're certain they're no threat to you." Naruto told him.
The admiral scratched his chin and answered "When you say it like that it sounds really cocky."
"Then since you're sure you'll win you're not going to try and dodge this attack are you?" He asked before appearing in front of him at fast speeds. He appeared in the air next to his head, his leg ready to kick him the same way he'd done to Urouge earlier.
As he suspected Kizaru didn't move to block, just stood their with his hands in his pockets. At the last possible second Naruto covered his leg in Busoshoku Haki and managed to blast Kizaru through two buildings. Naruto landed and looked at the rubble with a smirk on his face.
The smoke cleared out and the admiral walked out casually. Though he wasn't without damage, while not major he did have some tears in his clothing and was bleeding from the side of the mouth a small amount.
Apoo managed to gain enough consciousness to look up in time to have witnessed it. The blond was even stronger than he originally thought. He managed to wound an admiral, granted it wasn't by much but he'd still done it. Whereas they'd all been dispatched without issue.
"I see." Began Kizaru as he wiped his mouth. "You're different than the rest. You used Haki to counter my Logia abilites just now didn't you?" He asked as he cracked his neck. "Well I can't underestimate you too much now can I?"
"Tell me, what's your name?" Kizaru asked.
"The Deathdealer Uzumaki Naruto of the Heart Pirates." He introduced. It seemed the admiral knew him if his raised eyebrow was any indication.
"The Deathdealer you say? You've been handing us wanted pirates for a while, and now you're one of them." He said. "Why did you join up with Trafalgar Law? You'd make a great marine." He told him.
"Because you guys turn a blind eye to what the Celestial Dragons do and are just as corrupt as some of the pirates." He answered without missing a beat. In a heartbeat he appeared in front of Kizaru with a slashing motion. This time the man did dodge and immediately brought his leg up.
Naruto remembered this is the same technique he used on Hawkin, faster than Kizaru expected Naruto spun and kicked the mans leg off to the side, resulting in a bright yellow blast hitting another tree.
The blond looked up to see the man pointing at him and began shooting beams of light at him. He jumped constantly to avoid being hit by any of them. He saw one coming towards him and jumped up barely managing to avoid it.
He noticed that Kizaru was to his right and had no time to react as he was hit with a Light speed kick to the side. Just like the rest of the pirates he was kicked into one of the empty buildings. "Damn that hurt" He thought as he quickly left the building. Not a second sooner the whole thing exploded, no doubt from another kick.
Taking a deep breath he charged once more and began slashing rapidly. Kizaru evaded every strike seemingly without a problem. "Are you sure you won't join the marines? Talent like yours shouldn't be wasted." The man asked again.
His answer came in the form of another slash at him. Seeing as this wasn't working he jumped back and caught his breath. "Damn it nothing's working. He's toying with me. I only got him with that first attack because he was over confident." He thought.
He looked around and saw the state of their battlefield. Broken buildings, rubble, and cracks all around the floor. Wait, that was it. He charged at the man again but this time Kizaru did more than dodge. As he slashed at him the man moved faster than before and managed to hit him with another light speed kick into a building parallel from the first one.
Naruto coughed up some blood and put his palm on top of one of the cracks that was leading outside. He allowed a black substance to seep into the ground. He stood up and continued the plan. He attacked again this time faster than before. He slashed horizontally and as soon as Kizaru ducked he brought his Haki coated leg to hit him.
Unfortunately he was parried and was hit with a hard fist to the gut. He was hit with enough force to drop him on the spot. Seeing another crack he stealthily allowed another black substance to seep into it. This same routine happened one more time before the blond decided it was all or nothing.
Picking himself up he wiped the blood from his mouth and stared down the admiral. "Oh, you're still able to fight. How scary." He taunted.
"You like to taunt your opponent. Let's see how you like it." He thought. "Gift Bad" He said. Kizaru watched as a large black pool appeared from the blond and expanded enough to cover most of their battlefield.
Kizaru looks down and sees the ground is still solid and tilts his head in confusion wondering what was going on. Hearing a bubbling noise he sees three large orbs appear on both sides of him and behind him. They appeared large enough to absorb a man completely. As he was about to ask the blond he began coughing and bleeding from the mouth.
"Congratulations. You're stuck in my Gift Bad. This is one of the techniques that earned me the name 'The Deathdealer'. I won't go into the specifics but just know your blood is slowly killing you now." Naruto told him. "Come on take the bait." He thought.
Kizaru coughs up some more blood. "My blood you say? Must be related to this substance." He said to himself. His body began to glow yellow and Naruto knew this was it.
"Bingo. Only one place to go now" He thought as he gripped his Katana harder. He'd noticed Kizaru had a habit of appearing behind his opponents before kicking them away. The moment he saw the man completely covered in light he coated his blade in Haki and turned around. Just as Kizaru reappeard behind him a splash of blood was seen as Naruto managed to cut the mans torso right as he materialized. In the brieft moment of surprise Naruto grabbed the mans admiral jacket from his shoulder and took off. It had been a difficult task to have Kizaru end up behind him. Now all he had to do was make a break for Grove twenty. As he ran he remembered what he had taken from the building before his fight even started.
It was probably cracked but it should still work. As he sprinted away he heard it. "Yata no Kagami" Knowing he only had one shot he turned around and brought out a conveniently sized mirror. Luckily it only had one crack in it.
He saw the light coming and allowed the light to reflect in another direction devoid of any building and dropped the mirror. He picked up his speed and took off. He criefly looked back and saw Kizaru wasn't coming. Whether he let him get away or his plan worked he couldn't tell but he didn't care.
"I got way in over my head thinking I stood a chance. I'm no match for Kizaru…Yet." He thought as he headed for the sub. after two minutes of non stop sprinting he made it and ran inside. It appeared that his fight with Kizaru had taken longer than he'd thought as the entire crew was already there and they had a new addition.
"We gotta go now!" He told them. Bepo having never seen the blond this worked up quickly set up the sub and submerged. He took a seat and caught his breath. Now that they were in the clear he noticed they were pretty roughed up as well.
"What happened to you guys?" He asked wondering how some low level marines could do this much damage.
"We were attacked by Kuma." Law said frowning. Hearing this the blond also frowned.
"How? I saw Kuma beating X Drake and Urouge." He told them.
"Perhaps they were clones then." Bepo said out loud. Bepo took a look at him and noticed the blond himself was in pretty bad shape. "What happened to you?" He asked.
"I ran into Kizaru." The crews eyes widened at the revelation. Shachi was the first to break the silence.
"No way! You ran into an admiral and survived." He said with amazement.
"He underestimated me but in the end he still won. I only managed to land two hits on him. A kick and one cut to his body. I took much more damage than he did." Penguin who hadn't said anything noticed what the blond was holding and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Is that Kizaru's admiral jacket?!" He asked.
Naruto smirked. "Yeah. The bastard was taunting me the whole time so I figured I'd pay him back for it. I planned a trap as I was getting beaten and took his coat in the brief moment of surprise after I cut him." He explained. He winced as he tried standing. "Honestly I'm surprised I made it here. I'm sure Kizaru will probably aim to kill me next time."
Finally he looked towards the others and asked. "What's Jean Bart doing here?"
Alright so I'll stop it there. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. I wanted to show how although Naruto is stronger than the Supernova's he's still got a lot of growing to do. Don't worry he'll get stronger as the story progresses. I'd like to give a big thanks to Crossovernaru for helping me out with the story and giving me some fantastic ideas for the future chapters. Also I was thinking that for the pairing whether it be Viola or Monet it's still a bit away before they meet so I'm gonna pair him up with someone else for the time being. Perhaps Bonney but I'm not sure yet.
Anyways as always if you have any suggestions or comments leave them in a review or PM me. Later.
