Chapter 2
After the fight with Crocodile, Naruto decided to leave Arabasta. He was thinking to make Arabasta as his territory but he thought again that it would be better if he works together with Crocodile and took an advantage from him.
Crocodile gave Naruto a place to stay and they talked a lot about the pirates. Naruto did enjoy the story because he got a real story from someone who has experienced of being a real pirate. What amazed Naruto was, Crocodile had fought the strongest Man alive, Edward Newgate or The Whitebeard. Crocodile told him that he lost that fight but Naruto kept giving him a compliment because only a brave man who dare to risk his own life to stand against The Whitebeard.
They talked for about 3 hours and after the talk, Crocodile started to think Naruto would be a good partner for him and he didn't want to waste this chance and they agreed to form an alliance.
In the morning, Naruto had finished his breakfast and going to Erumalu Port to continue his journey. He had been given a ship by Crocodile and he didn't need to pay for that.
When he got there, he saw a big ship docked that believe to be his ship. Naruto smiled and saw a man standing near the ship.
"Hei! There!" Naruto said while running towards him.
"I don't know. What do you need boy?" The man asked.
"I just want to ask who's own this ship?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know. I just asked by Mr Zero to clean this ship up and give it to someone name Naruto." The man said.
"Mr Zero? Who the fuck is that?" Naruto confused.
"I don't know. He's the leader of Baroque Work and he calls himself Mr Zero." The man said.
"Then he is Crocodile, isn't he?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know. He looks like an Italian for me." The man said.
"RIGHT!? I KNEW IT! NOT ONLY ME BUT YOU THINK SO!" Naruto screamed.
"I don't know. Maybe he's a mafia?" The man asked.
"I knew it! Fucking knew it! I think his real name isn't Crocodile." Naruto said.
"I don't know. Crocodilo?" The man asked.
"That makes sense. So, thank you for cleaning this ship, mate. My name is Naruto by the way." Naruto smiled.
"I don't know. But I believe you. Anyway, where are you going?" The man asked.
"Travel all around the world, find people to join my crew and find treasures, and the most important thing is conquering the world." Naruto said while throwing his stuff into the ship.
"I don't know, but the last one sounds ridiculous to me. How can you conquer the world?" The man asked.
Naruto took out a cigarette and lit it up. "By destroying it and create a new one. If you say 'I don't know' again, I'll rip your mouth off."
The man gulped and he just nodded. It felt weird for him if he didn't say 'I don't know' before the statement.
"Good. Now, do you have a compass? Or something like that?" Naruto asked.
"I don't k-"
GLARE!
"I-I-I do." The man stuttered and he took out a thing like a compass. "This called log pose and it's better than the normal compass. Just look where the needle pointing and follow it. Ok, enough from me, see you later." After explained it, The man ran away quickly because he was uncomfortable being around there.
Naruto just shrugged seeing the man running like he's saving his life from something. He then smiled and jumped into the ship. Arriving on deck, he was amazed by the size of the ship and it likes bigger when he standing on the deck.
"Crocodile is a fucking mafia, yeah. If he's not, how the hell he gives a big ship like this? But why should I think about it? I should be grateful for his kindness." Naruto smiled.
He then lowered the sail and prepared to set sail. The ship slowly moved and started leaving the port. Naruto immediately ran to the stern to see Arabasta for the last time.
"GRAZIE, SIGNOR 0!" Naruto screamed. "Or should I say Mister 0? Fuck it. Who cares about that? The most important is I already said thank you to him."
He then looked at the log pose and the needle pointing to the north. "Of course it will point to the north."
And after that, Naruto continued his journey.
-X-
(1 day later)
Naruto had spent one day in a ship until he found an island. Nothing much to do when he was in the ship and he was just waiting. He didn't even find anything on the sea which made him boring.
And finally, he felt something weird. He get out of the room and going to the deck. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he saw the sky suddenly turned black even though it was not night yet and also the mist was very thick and he couldn't see anything.
Naruto started thinking that he just entered the island of ghost, or demon.
"Great. Now, this thing has leaded me into this ghost island." Naruto looked at his log pose.
But the ship was still moving forward and finally, the ship was stopped because it wasn't longer on the sea, but on the beach.
Naruto just scratched the back of his head and took out a cigarette then lit up. "So, what else can I do about this? I've never fought with ghosts and I think they aren't that strong." Naruto said.
He then jumped out of the ship. Once He stepped his foot on this island, he could feel a lot of people were marching towards his direction. Naruto closed his eyes and trying to predict their numbers but Naruto heard something like irons. Either they wore an Armor or carried a sword but the most important thing was, Naruto was in danger now.
"Eins, zwei, drei, vier fün-SCHEIßE!!"
SRENG!!
BOOM!
Naruto was shocked as he got attack suddenly. He jumped into the air to dodge the attack earlier and when he looked back, his eyes widened as he saw all the trees were sliced into pieces.
Naruto then turned around and saw several animals were approaching. Judging by their appearance, it seemed they are a monkey but carrying a sword.
Naruto who was still floating in the air landed to the ground and tried talking to those big monkeys.
"Oy! Did you try to kill me!? I didn't do anything wrong!" Naruto said.
However, all the monkeys pointed their sword at Naruto and ready to attack.
"Ok! Beweg deinen Arsch hier!" Naruto smirked.
The monkeys seemed so happy and quickly they were charging towards Naruto. While they were running, Naruto paid attention more to their sword because it wasn't an ordinary sword.
One Monkey appeared in front Naruto while swinging his sword trying to cut him. Naruto covered his hand with armament haki and blocked his attack by his left hand, then Naruto using hit right hand to punch him in the stomach and sent him flying.
"Next one, monkeys." Naruto smiled.
Much to his surprise, The monkeys didn't seem interesting anymore and they lowered their head, like they were disappointed.
"W-What's wrong? I just punched him and he's not even dying!" Naruto felt a little bit guilty as he saw their reactions.
On the other hand, the monkey who just got beaten by Naruto eralier got on his feet and he lowered his head as well. This made Naruto confused.
"Come on guys! You all asked for this and I just want to make this more interesting! Don't play as a victim here! You attacked me first!" Naruto shouted.
"You've done nothing wrong. They are disappointed because you don't use sword in a battle."
"Really? I can use a sword in a battle if you want, but I prefer to use my meat sword and use it in the bed. My sword-" Naruto didn't finish his words as he realised something wrong. None of those monkeys spoke human language and the question is, who the one who said that.
Naruto turned around quickly and saw a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upwards. He wore black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wore white pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size. He also carried a very big sword on his back and it looked similar to those monkeys sword.
"Before you talk further, answer these questions from me. First, do you come from Spain or Romania, because you look like a Spanish but when I look closer, you look like more a Dracula. Second, are you the father of these baboons, or monkeys, or gorillas?" Naruto asked.
"And how about yourself? Where do you come from?" The man asked back.
"I ask you first." Naruto said.
"It's rude to ask a stranger personal questions when you don't even introduce yourself first." The man said.
"All right. My name is Naruto and I come from a small country in Grandline called, Reichstag. Now answer my questions." Naruto said.
The man didn't answer the question but walking to Naruto instead. Naruto was about to activate his power but the man just walked passing him and stopped in front of the monkeys.
"Go home." The Man ordered.
All the monkeys nodded their head and walked away from there.
"So you're really their father." Naruto smiled.
"Whatever your purpose here, you will find nothing here. This island is mine and don't ever think to touch those baboons again, or I'll be the one who put an end to your life." The man said.
"So they are baboons huh? I'm sorry then. I don't have any bad intention here and the reason why I'm here is, because I'm lost. You see this compass thing on my wrist, it doesn't work at all!" Naruto said while showing his Log Pose.
"That's a Log Pose. It will lead to an island that has a massive magnetic source. Just follow where the needle pointing at and you will find another island." The Man said.
"Ah, thank you then. Anyway, what's your name? I have introduced myself to you." Naruto said.
"Mihawk." The man, or Mihawk said.
"Mohawk? but your hair isn't even a mohawk style." Naruto said.
"Go away from here." Mihawk said.
"Tch! You don't have sense of Humors." Naruto muttered. He took out a cigarette and lit up. "Are you sure you're not lost as well? I can give you a ride to get out of this island if you want. Besides, who wants to live in this gloomy island, eh?" Naruto said.
"This is my home." Mihawk said.
"Yeah, and your hommies are baboons." Naruto chuckled.
"You sure talk a lot, don't you?" Mihawk said.
"That's how you use the mouth, to talk." Naruto smiled.
"Are you a pirate?" Mihawk asked.
"No, not yet. I already have a ship but no crew. Any suggestions where should I go to get a crew?" Naruto asked.
"Why do you have to get a crew if you strong enough to defeat all the enemies by yourself?" Mihawk asked.
"No, my friend. I'm not that arrogant to think that I can conquer this world by myself. I'm still human after all." Naruto smiled.
"Then you just want to use them to get what you want, don't you?" Mihawk smiled.
"Use? You're really bad at choosing word to describe your feeling, don't you? Every human has something called 'Wille Zum Leben', that's what the people in my hometown said and if I have to put into your language perhaps you can say 'The Will to Life'. How can I use humans as they're just like a thing?" Naruto asked.
"You're such a young who doesn't understand anything. Many people lower themselves to get what they want and they can be controlled because of their stupidity." Mihawk said.
"Then they're not human. In my opinion, human has a brain to think and a feeling to show kindness. If they don't think and just follow whatever people tell them to do, then they're not human, worth it to be killed or maybe enslaved." Naruto said.
"Not bad thoughts for such a young boy but sometimes you need to see the reality. Idealism leads you nowhere but to selfishness." Mihawk said.
"That's why I call myself as a human, because I think and I create my own idealism. This world is a dead creature and needs a living creature to rule itself. The reason of why this world has turned into a battleground because it is ruled by a dead creature that looks like a human being. They don't know what to do and they are moved by their lust. Now, it's time to change." Naruto said.
Mihawk narrowed his eyes and seemed interested by what Naruto said. "Change? Revolution you mean? What do you want to change?"
"Everything. Those world nobles are really disgusting and I'm sure even the sun doesn't like them. But they are too powerful and if I want to take them down, I need to have what they have at this moment." Naruto said.
"And what would that be?" Mihawk asked.
"Territory. The first thing I must have is territory. I will visit every country and every kingdom and I'll conquer them, in other words, I'll steal their territory and that's why I decided to be a pirate. Secondly, a system." Naruto said.
"System?" Mihawk asked.
"Yes, a system, especially the law system. Law must be written, not spoken. You know that everything what The Word noble says is a law and that's what I call abuse of power. They act immaturely but called themselves as gods, because they are descendant of the 20 kingdom that created the world. Let's make this world to be a better place at least for someone to live and order to that, we have to create a clear law system. No discriminative, no racist, no social class anymore." Naruto said.
"And what will you do to those stupid people that you call 'not human'? Will you wipe them out of this world?" Mihawk said.
"Nope, which bring me to the next point. Slavery system. The only one who can be a slave is the people who don't have the will to life. Instead of doing nothing, I'll make them useful as a slave. So the point is, if you don't want to be a slave, then you have to be a human, and finally the slavery is gone." Naruto said.
"Then how can we classify them as human or not human?" Mihawk said.
"Simple. Ask them what they want to be and why. If they can answer that question so passionately, then they're human but if they can't answer that question, throw them to the slavery. But it only applies to the adult. We will take the kids to the school and teach them how to be a human." Naruto smiled.
Mihawk was surprised at his thoughts. He already met a lot of people who want to be a king or the conqueror but they didn't have any principles, they just wanted to be a king but didn't know what the meaning to be a king. But Naruto, he was different. He told them his dream in a very attractive narration that fascinated him.
Mihawk closed his eyes and smiled. "You're really interesting person. I've never met someone who has a crazy ideology like you. But you do know that in order to do that, you have to have a power, a wisdom, and a spirit. Tell me, how strong are you?" Mihawk asked.
"What kind of question is that? Someone will get stronger if they fight someone who's stronger than him. How can I measure my own strength if I never fight someone who's stronger than me?" Naruto smiled.
"So you're saying that you have never encountered someone stronger than you?" Mihawk asked.
"For your information, If you know a pirate name Crocodile, I defeated him along with his crew only with one attack." Naruto smiled.
Mihawk smiled and nodded. However, he took his sword from his back. "Then you show me how great you are."
"Ohhh, here we go again. Why can't people just trust me without any fight? Wasn't my speech good enough for you?" Naruto asked.
"Your speech is incredible, but will without power is nothing. If you have a big will, then I'm sure you have trained yourself very hard and I want to test it out." Mihawk said.
"Yeah, that makes sense, all right I agree. But let's make a bet, shall we? Naruto smiled.
"if you lose without the slightest resistance, then you must throw away all your dreams." Mihawk said.
"If you lose, you have to join my crew." Naruto smiled.
"Deal!" Mihawk said.
"Deal!" Naruto nodded.
Mihawk quickly swung his sword and pointed downward. For a few seconds Naruto had no idea what he was doing but he widened his eyes in shock 3 seconds later.
SREEEEENGG!
A big green slash came out from Michael's sword and it went towards Naruto fastly. Thanks to his good reflect that he jumped aside to dodge the attack.
"Mein Gott! Was war das!?" Naruto muttered in surprised.
"I have no idea what you were talking about but I'm sure you're surprised by that attack, aren't you?" Mihawk said.
Naruto turned around and saw all the trees behind him were cut by the attack earlier. "Surely, this Spanish or Romanian guy can't be underestimated."
Naruto then turned his gaze back towards Mihawk and smiled at him. "I think this going to be interesting."
"I'm waiting to see what you can do." Mihawk said.
Naruto eyes slowly changed into purple with a weird pattern. "This eyes called rinnegan, eyes of gods."
Naruto opened his palm and pointed it towards Mihawk.
"Mokuton: Shashiki!"
Several wood spikes came out from his palm and they were moving towards Mihawk. Mihawk was ready for that and he sliced each of those wood spikes before it hit him.
"Mokuton: Mokuryuu!"
While Mihawk slicing the wood spikes, Naruto created a massive wood dragon but it looked like the dragon was alive. Naruto stood on the top of his head and the dragon roared loudly and started flying.
On the other hand, Mihawk had sliced every wood spikes. He looked up and saw a massive wood dragon flying above him and Naruto was on top of his head.
"So, a devil fruit user huh?" Mihawk asked.
"Yes, you like it?" Naruto smiled.
"I prefer someone with no devil fruit power however." Mihawk said.
"Because you're not a devil fruit user. You will think differently when you eat a devil fruit." Naruto said.
"I'm not sure." Mihawk said.
Mihawk then swung his sword again and this time he targeted the dragon.
SRENG!
Every time Mihawk swung his sword, a noisy sound came out from his sword which made the slice more terrifying.
"Maybe you can cut all the trees but even though this dragon made of wood, but it can't be cut lik-"
CRACK!
BOOM!
Naruto couldn't finish his words because he was shocked as the dragon was cut by Mihawk.
It was the first time he saw the dragon was cut so easily like it was nothing. Naruto then jumped down and landed to the ground. However, he surprised as Mihawk was already in front of him and ready to attack.
"You're too slow."
SRET!
Didn't waste a time, Mihawk swung his sword and slashed Naruto on his chest. Naruto immediately fell to ground and passed out.
Mihawk took a look at Naruto's body and found something weird. He wasn't bleeding at all even though he was getting slashed by his sword.
Crack!
Mihawk turned around as he heard cracking sound from behind. He looked down and found the ground was cracking like something was about to pop out.
"SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!"
BOOM!
Naruto suddenly came out from the ground and he managed to land his punch on Mihawk's chin which made Mihawk sent flying.
"Yeah! That was a nice uppercut, wasn't it!?" Naruto smiled.
Mihawk managed to land on the ground. He rubbed his own chin and like Naruto said, it was a nice and painful uppercut. He then felt something flowing on the edge of his lips and when he touched it, it was his blood.
"I'm bleeding?" Mihawk muttered in disbelief.
"Yeah, that's your blood."
Mihawk widened his eyes in shock as heard a voice from behind. He quickly turned around but it was too late, Naruto already pointed his palm towards him and smirked at him.
"Shinra Tensei!"
BOOOM!
"Uaghhhhh!!!!!"
Mihawk was thrown away as he received the attack from Naruto. He crashed into several trees until he was stopped by a big rock.
Mihawk felt an unbelievable pain in his body and this was the first time he received a powerful attack since 10 years ago.
"Cough! Cough!" Mihawk was coughing blood and trying to get up again.
"Ok, enough." Naruto suddenly appeared.
"N-No, it's not over yet." Mihawk said. He then stood up and ready to attack again.
"You see? This fight is not to decide who is the stronger between us. Why are you so persistent? If we continue this fight, I'm sure this island will be destroyed and one of us will die. This fight is unnecessary to do anymore." Naruto said.
"We already made a bet and if you lose, you have to throw away all of your dreams." Mihawk said.
"Do you know the reason why I don't want to continue this fight? Because you told me to throw my dreams away. Do you really think that someone like me will throw away my dream because lose a fight? You can't stop people to dream." Naruto said.
"I feel like you're teaching me right now and I don't like it. Do you really think that you're stronger than me because you only managed to attack me twice?" Mihawk said.
"See? The purpose on this fight was to see how strong I am, but you suddenly change it because you get carried away by your lust. You can't accept a defeat even though you're not defeated yet." Naruto said. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. "I'm not saying that you're weaker than me but if this fight's purpose only to see how strong I am, I'm sure it's more than enough. Judging by your strength, you're really a strong man and I think you've fought with great warriors or pirate. We don't have any personal problem and why should we fight until we die? It doesn't make any sense, does it?" Naruto asked.
Mihawk narrowed his eyes at this and once again he was confused by what Naruto said. "I don't understand. Then there's no winner here and the bet is cancelled. You don't have to throw your dream away and I don't have to join your crew."
"It's ok then, I can tell you that you're strong and perhaps I could die if I decide to keep on fighting you." Naruto smiled.
Naruto then threw his cigarette away and turned around. He was about to leave Mihawk but he was called by Mihawk.
"What do you think about the strongest swordsman in the world?" Mihawk asked.
"Worth to join my crew." Naruto smiled.
Mihawk smiled at his answer and he put his sword back. How the way Naruto answered his questions Made him interested on him. Mihawk knew that Naruto has a big potential but he was too young. He needed someone to guide him and give him some advices and Mihawk started to think that maybe, he's the right person to do that. Besides, he was really curious if Naruto can turn his dream into reality or not. And, maybe this time for him to join someone.
"I'll join you." Mihawk said.
And with that, Naruto suddenly stopped and quickly turned around. "REALLLLLLY!?"
"Give some minutes to say farewell to those monkeys." Mihawk said.
"Wirklich? I mean really? You're going to say goodbye to monkeys? Are they your children or something? They're just animal ." Naruto said.
"Have you ever seen an animal using a sword so properly?" Mihawk asked.
"Ah, about that... You've got a point. Ok then, make sure you don't hurt their feeling." Naruto smiled.
Mihawk nodded and left Naruto. Naruto just saw Mihawk going into the forest and finally disappear and after that, he sighed a sigh of relief.
"Fucking hell. That was a close one. If continued the fight, at least I will lose my hand." Naruto muttered.
