Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.

Chapter 2

"I'm so thirsty..." After he said that, he sighs as he was only wearing ragged pants. Naruto just looks both ways gaining more cracks as he looks at his cell doors. Naruto approached the cells slowly as he examines the bars.

"Am I able to break through these... Hmmmm... My body is still to weak and I need the ocean..." Naruto thought to himself on what to do as he looks at his shaking arms and twitching fingers.

"Luffy... Usopp... Zoro... Sanji... Nami... Chopper... Robin..." As he said it both hands grab the jail cells bars. As this happened he fingers grip the bars more as he grits his teeth; his head touched the bars.

(Merry, I know the floor of the sea is a dark and lonely place, but don't worry since we're here to see you off. I'm sure you wish he was here, but its probably best Usopp isn't around, I don't know if he could take this.)

(Thank you for carrying us for so long, for so far... Merry...)

"LUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYYYY!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs, so loud all of Level 6 could hear his scream that shock the walls from he sound of his scream. Everyone could hear his scream that shocked them, because of that Luffy didn't run into the cloud of sleeping gas but instead he looks back down the hall of impel down with wide.

"IM HERE!"

When Luffy heard that, something deep within his heart told him to go towards that voice causing him to immediately charge straight down the hallway, as he was running down the hallway he stopped at finding a surprising sight. A bony Fishman was laying in his back, taking deep breaths as Luffy just looks away about to continue until he heard the voice coming from that very cell he looked at.

"Don't... Leave me... Again... Captain." When Naruto said that, Luffy could only look at the cell in confusion.

"Do... I know you?" After asking him that, he heard a little laugh from Naruto.

"I don't blame you for recognizing me in my real body through... As always your scatterbrained when it comes to most things likes a girls feelings... Of awkwardness but tell me, did you actually fall for Usopp wearing that odd mask? Even when I was burning I could tell that was Usopp..." When Naruto said that, Luffy's eyes just widen all the way. Even if it didn't make sense his heart was aching as he heard his voice causing tears to fall from his eyes.

"You're..." After Luffy said that, Naruto sat up slowly but moved a little more so he was kneeling before Luffy behind the bars.

"Even now... I respond to the name Going Merry... Eheheheh, as I told you when I was burning away and even now... I hoped we would all meet again." After saying that, Luffy falls to his knees crying while both Ivan and Inazuma arrive to witness this sight of one of Level 6's criminals bowing down to Luffy.

"You see... My devil fruit powers allowed me to separate my soul from my body and sent it into the sea; I found you guys a week later and stuck to your ship, and watched... When you guys were off me I began repairing myself by materialized with using a hard object to pound the nails in. Usopp screamed like a little girl when he saw me looking like a ghost, it was hilarious but... It hurt watching you and Usopp argue about me..." Naruto told Luffy who just cries at hearing his words. Naruto just smokes sadly as he starts speaking again.

"Listen... Your after Ace and if you go there you will most likely be killed but even so I know you won't even listen. So... Can I come home, back to the Straw Hats... Captain Luffy?" Naruto asked his captain who starts wiping his tears away while talking.

"I may not really understand but I know that your not lying... Through what your saying is very confusing but even so... I just knew you were out there... That last thing you said really got me thinking over night about it." Luffy told Naruto who just continued kneeling before him.

"Luffy, his can you be so sure he's telling the truth?" Inazuma asked him him confusion but he just smiles.

"Because he's my Nakama, and I know for a fact he's not lying since his eyes show it." After saying that, Ivan and Inazuma still couldn't understand but even so Inazuma unlocks the doors using his scissor hands. Naruto walks out slowly past them but even so Ivan looks at Naruto in confusion.

"Who is he?" After thinking that, he just continues to stare at him while in the back of his head he felt as if he saw him somewhere.

"I'm gonna go to the Marine Headquarters, if I give up now I'm gonna regret it!" After Luffy said that, Naruto could just nod knowing he would say that.

"But first of all how can you get off this floor?!" After Inazuma asked Luffy since he's already sealed off the stairs releasing the sleeping gas.

The group heard laughing from down the hall, gaining there attention as they were led to one particular cell.

"If you wanna get out of here, set me free! I can create a hole in the ceiling! What do you think?" After the man asked that he approached the bars much to Luffy's shock while Naruto did not react.

"Crocodile..." Was all that Naruto said as the man just laughs with a smile at seeing Naruto.

"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes Hoshigaki D. Naruto..." After saying that, Naruto's eyes just narrow.

"It has been awhile, Crocodile..." Was all that Naruto said as the man just smiles.

"Aren't you missing something-" he stopped at seeing he was far from amused.

"If Whitebeard and the Marines are gonna start a way, I'll take my chance to finally bring duel that old man!" When Crocodile said that, his eyes just widen all the way at hearing there's about to be a war.

"Luffy, the enemy of my enemy is my friend but for this situation it's a bit different... But either way he wants to get out as well so he'll be needing our help to do so." After saying that, Luffy grits his teeth.

"HE'S THE MAN WHO MESSED UP VIVI'S COUNTRY-" he was cut off by Naruto.

"That was a while back and besides I doubt he wants revenge... But anyways... Once I reach the ocean he will no longer even think of going against us." Naruto told Luffy which caused Crocodile's eyes to narrow at hearing that.

"As always, your a nuisance even five years ago..." After saying that, Luffy looks between the two.

"You know him?" After asking Naruto that he just nods.

"Yes, when I was fifteen we met through I beat his Devil Fruit powers with my devil fruit powers of the Oce Oce Fruit." After saying that, Crocodile glares at Naruto who just continues.

"I know your weakness including my devil fruit powers scare you..." After saying that, the tic mark on Crocodile's face grows in anger. The other prisoners started getting wild but Ivan put an end to it quickly.

"HAVE MERCY ON ME!" When Naruto heard that voice his eyes instantly widen in shock as he turns meeting the eyes of Jinbe.

"TAKE ME WITH YOU! I CAN HELP YOU FOR SURE! I HAVE KNOWN ACE EVER SINCE HE JOINED THE WHITEBEARDS! HE ALWAYS TOLD ME ABOUT HIS BROTHER! I WAD ARRESTED BECAUSE I OBJECTED TO THE WAR!" Jinbe shouted as his eyes met Naruto's.

"I WANNA SAVE ACE, TOO! SO PLEASE! LET ME DIE FOR HIM!" Jinbe yelled as Naruto chuckles gaining Jinbe's attention.

"As always, your souls burns like the sun of your Jolly Roger, uncle." After Naruto said that, Ivan's eyes widen in shock at the two being related while Luffy was confused.

"Let him out, he isn't someone who just goes back on his words and besides... Lying is something the Hoshigaki's do not do." Naruto told Luffy who just started at Jinbe.

"Ok..." After Luffy said that, Inazuma was shocked get again.

"Are you sure?! We don't know about him had how dangerous he is!" Inazuma said but even so Luffy didn't care at all.

"Thank you..." Once Jimbe said that, Ivan gave him a nod to release him Susanoo he dud just that by destructing the shackles and opening the door to let not only him but Crocodile out as well; all six stood side by side next to each other as Naruto was the first to speak.

"First we go to level 5, the reason why I said that isn't because we already are heading there but something precious to me has been enduring hell for up to five years without me..." After Naruto said that, Crocodile just made a "tch" sound at already knowing what he was talking about.

"Alright, we don't have much time! WE'RE GONNA JUST BREAK OUT BY FORCE! HEEHAW!" Ivan shouted as the group began moving but upwards thanks to Crocodile. After a few minutes the guards arrived but were already to late.

WITHIN LEVEL 5.5

Naruto was putting on a black trench coat which fits him while Crocodile was getting fitted in his normal attire. As he was getting ready both Naruto and Crocodile's eyes met but said nothing but look away. The two looks at Bon being injected by something from Ivan but even so they didn't care at all except getting the fuck out of Impel Down.

ON LEVEL 5 SOME TIME LATER IN THE FOREST

"Where are we going?!" Luffy yelled as the group minus Ivan, Inazuma, and his men; the group stopped as they were all standing in the middle of the forest.

"Naruto-" Luffy stopped at seeing and hearing Naruto whistle using his left hand, because of that there was a dead silence that was soon followed by sounds coming from the trees. From a tree was a slowly moving thing if sorts, it was comprised of dark blue downward scales running along the entirety of its length until it hits the hilt, at the base of it was a small skull. It has four spider like legs as its approached Naruto very slowly due it being cold along with most if not all of its scales broke.

"Gigigigi..." Once the sound left the thing, Naruto went down on one knee as he placed his right hand on its head.

"Hello again, my old friend Samehada..." Just after saying that the handle moves towards Naruto who grabs it and immediately after they touch the thing heard up as the blades regenerated while growing small. From its mouth shout out white stalking which Naruto began spinning it as the wrappings wrapped around it as it was fully concealed. Naruto moves it with the handle facing upwards as he moves it to his back and the claw like spider legs came out as they wrap around Naruto's waste.

"Good... I have Samahada back." after he said that, Naruto just looks back at the very confused Luffy.

"Let me explain, Samahada is a weapon I used which belonged to my father the previous owner. It specializes in killing Devil fruit users." When Naruto said that, Luffy's eyes widen as he looks at the weapon.

"Cut to the chase, tell him who you actually were before you came here." After Crocodile said that, he began running along with Jinbe fusses the next level while Naruto just sighs as he starts walking and soon walks past Luffy while speaking.

"I was once Vice-Admiral of the Marines, the youngest marine to ever make vice admiral. But that hardly matters anymore, captain... I serve you and you alone." After he said that he began running after Crocodile and Jinbe but as he was running, Luffy followed while deep in thought as to why he ended up in Impel Down.
