Chapter 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~TWO YEARS LATER AT SABAODY ARCHIPELAGO~~~~~~~~~~~
"Man... Training for two years straight in the Underworld of the Sea can give you a headache when you rise from there after so long." Came the thought of Naruto who was walking past people in order to get to his destination. He wore a light-colored wave like tsunami-patterned kimono that only covers the right half of his torso, his left arm is left uncovered to show it was pretty muscular. Around his waist is a very long sash that ties on the right side of his body and loops around the left, and holds a design-adorned piece of white fabric in place over the top of his loose, dark blue pants. Around his left forearm is a black band that has a white ring over the wrist. He also has black ninja sandals. On his back was a large weapon wrapped in bandages to conceal it. His hair was long and wind dark blue while also having facial hair with a smile on his face yet the aura coming off of him was something else entirely.
"Captain, where are you?" He thought to himself in wonder but then a thought appeared in his mind which he just smiles more.
"Can't wait to meet Nami again, wonder what she will do when she finds out in a part of the crew!" Naruto thought cheerfully but stops, not because of the fighting that was taking place in front of him but because they had all stopped but because four individuals were walking his way, the four were dressed up as Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and Chopper which the look on Naruto's face changed to that of annoyance with veins appearing on his forehead. As this was happening the four had stopped due to see Naruto having a dark blue aura like energy of sorts coming off from his body.
"Now I'm annoyed." He said with great annoyance all the while the real Chopper found his way into the front of the crowd to find the four staring at Naruto.
"Hey, get out of the or-" the Zoro imposter was cut off after Naruto walks towards the man until he was now standing in front of him while raising his left hand and simply backhands the guy in the face, sending him right into the building on his left much to the absolute shock of everyone there but more so we're the fakes at what he's just done.
"I WILL NOT ALLOW FAKES TO RUIN CAPTAIN LUFFY'S!" Naruto shouted in anger whole raising his left arm with his hands fingers bending until his index and middle fingers were sticking out.
"As punishment for all you've done, I will test "Guanyin" on you all too see how much I need to hold back so I don't splatter my opponents all over the walls-" Naruto stops there with his eyes widening and walks past the now scared shitless fakes who took there chance to run like hell while Naruto stopped in front of a shaking Chopper who became surprised to see Naruto give him a bow.
"Hello Chopper, my name is Naruto and well... Let's find Captain Luffy so he can explain things otherwise you'll think I belong in the nut house when I tell you who I am." Hearing that, Chopper was quite surprised by her words yet felt like he saw him somewhere before and then it hit him.
"Why did you attack Zoro?!" Hearing him say that, Naruto could only stare at the animal in disbelief.
"You do realize they were all fakes... Right?" Hearing him say that, Chopper showed a look of disbelief on his face.
"What? So, they were fake?" Hearing that, Naruto just punched the bridge of his nose.
"Yes sir... How about I carry you to the others since I'm much faster..." before Chopper could say anything he was picked up by Naruto who had a passive expression on his face.
"Captain will explain everything once we meet up about who I am, also my story may make absolutely no fucking sense." With that said he places Chopper on his right shoulder which he used Naruto's head as leverage so he wouldn't fall.
"Let's go together..." Naruto told Chopper who just stares at the carefree smiling Naruto until he recognized him though pushing past the goatee and messy hair he could see it was Hoshigaki D. Naruto, the one who killed Admiral Akainu and personally defeated the Black Beard Pirates from the newspaper and reports on what in gods name happened there.
"Y-You're Hoshiga-" Chopper was cut off by Naruto flicking the doctor in the nose which he covers it.
"Sorry, but I rather not cause a mass panic if people knew who I were, there's already stares so I rather not allow there thinking too go overboard." Naruto told Chopper who blinks in surprise as well as understanding at the fact he's sort of known across the world for killing an Admiral. After some time walking they heard a very familiar voice.
"Hey, Chopper! Hey!" Hearing that, Chopper looks to his left to find Usopp and Nami heading towards them on a pedal vehicle sorts.
"Over here!" Hearing that voice of a female, Naruto's eyes widen while Chopper was blocking his face so they couldn't see him.
"It really is you, Chopper!" Usopp said happily which Chopper just smiles with joy.
"Usopp!" Chopper said just as Usopp was confused at seeing he was on someone's shoulder.
"Chopper, who's that?" Usopp questions the doctor of the crew which he just turns to Naruto who turns towards them much to Usopp's surprise at not knowing who he is.
"Who are you?" Usopp questions Naruto who just smiles.
"I'm...a friend. Captain Luffy will explain everything about who I am since when I say it I sound like a cra-..." He stops there after noticing Nami and was staring at him with her hands over her mouth.
"She already recognized me..." Naruto thought with surprise but just gives her a smile.
"I have to say, you've grown Nami since I last saw you at the destroyed Arlong Park." Naruto told Nami who could only stare at him with tears forming in her eyes. Seeing this, Naruto could only smile as she instantly ran towards him with tears falling from her eyes as she ran into his chest which he just holds her, gaining a lot of attention at seeing this while Naruto just smiles.
"I heard... About what happened to Juvia, you being sent to Impel Down... I'm sorry..." Hearing that, he just smiles sadly.
"It's ok... I was able to move past my own past and because of that I was able too achieve a new level of strength." After saying that, she takes a step back and looks at him in the face.
"But seeing you as a pirate was a quite a surprise to me... But I have to admit, it suits you pretty well ya' know." As he said it, he wipes her tears away and closed his eyes.
"U-Um, Nami who is he?" Usopp questions his crew mate which Naruto just glances at Usopp with a smile on his face.
"It's been seven years since we met in person...We can talk about that later so I suggest you three return to the ship so-" he was cut off by Nami grabbing his arm while having a look of disbelief on her face.
"No, we just met and I-" she was cut off by Naruto pressing his index and middle fingers against her forehead.
"Relax, I will return with Captain and the others, besides you need to prepare the conversation we will have over what you've been up too the last seven years." Hearing that, she could only look down sadly which he just smiles and pats her on the head with his right hand.
"Please don't look sad, we just reunited and I prefer to see you smiling with joy instead of looking sad and miserable." After saying that he looks in one direction.
"Seeing you guys now, you've improved tremendously since last time." After saying that he pulls his hand away from a now surprised Nami. He stops when he was side to side with Usopp.
"Now that I have a mouth, I thank you for taking care of me... Usopp." Hearing him say that, Usopp was surprised as he continued walking then looks at Nami who had a smile on her face while wiping her tears away.
"He's back..." Nami said while showing a smile on her face. Usopp Just turns towards Naruto who was walking away and felt as if he knew him from somewhere but can't recall where. As he was lost in thought, Naruto had a smile of joy across his face.
"Seeing Nami grown up, I can't help but want to know everything she's been up too since now.
~~~~~AT GROVE 46, THE FAKE STRAW HAT PIRATES RENDEZVOUS POINT~~~~~
"I think I'm lost... Oh Nami's going to kill me." Naruto thought to himself while he was walking past pirates that had gathered all around.
"SHUT IT!" Hearing that, he looks to see the one who tells was a guy dressed up as Luffy though he was quite large, standing behind him were fakes of Usopp, Franky, and... Nami. Seeing them, Naruto began to sweat drop at seeing this to be a disturbing sight.
"You have been gathered here today for a reason. There are some insignificant lowlifes who recently disrespected me, you beloved boss! The culprits are still somewhere on this archipelago! I want you to find them and bring them before me!" Hearing that, he began hearing cheering from all around.
"Dumbass never said what they looked like..." Naruto thought while looking around to find Luffy until he smelled it, all sorts of foods.
"Smelling that, and considering the distance between me and all these pirates I can only assume Luffy would bring food here." Naruto thought to himself as he starts approaching where he's smelling the food from. It didn't take him long to find Luffy wearing a bad disguise while carrying a large bag. The reason why was simple since he could smell Luffy, including the fact he was stupid enough to bring all that food to a situation like this. On his left was a fake Sanji and a beaten as well bruised fake Zoro.
"Is this the guy you were looking for-" the fake Sanji stops there after spotting Naruto approaching them and starts taking steps back while the fake Zoro turns to be met with a back hand sending him into multiple pirates, knocking them all over from the impact.
"Hello again, Captain." Naruto said which Luffy looks to and instantly smiles.
"Oh, Naruto! You've changed!" Luffy said with a smile on his face, hearing the name "Naruto" the pirates eyes slowly widen, slowly putting the pieces together of who the Fishman was including his bounty being 1,000,000,000 Beli for not only having been reported killing admiral Akainu but also having broke into Impel down two months ago and freed a group of prisoners including having the traitor Magellan going with him.
"So have you my captain-" he was cut off by a bullet being shock directly at him but in an instant he opened his mouth and chomped down right on the bullet, stopping it inches away from Luffy's face. Naruto's gaze shifts towards the now sweating fake pirate.
"Before we continue, I need too..." With those words he releases a tremendous wave of Conquerors Haki resulting in almost everyone Brayden's for a few hitting the ground now unconscious.
"This is the-..." Hearing that, they turn to seeing surprised Marines at find almost all the pirates here unconscious which there gazes shift towards Naruto and Luffy who look around to find there within a large circle and surrounded. Naruto's haze shifts towards a scout of the marines he didn't use Haki on and he was staring at Naruto with shock but much to his surprise he just smiles.
"I may be a pirate now but I was a Marine, I couldn't allow these guys to continue due to knowing they would just cause a lot of trouble and kill a lot of innocent people." Naruto said to the surprised Marine and then looks up at all the Marines until his eyes narrowed and both jumped onto the large stage the fakes were on due to being fired at. When they looked up they found that Sentomaru stood in the open wkth the Marines clearing the way to allow him and five others which were Pacifista's. Seeing them, Luffy complained about it being close while his disguise fell off and coat.
"What're you doing?! I've got a lot of valuable lunches stored in this backpack, you know!" Luffy shouted which Naruto just raises an eyebrow at him still thinking about food.
"Don't be taken aback! We were prepared to fight them!" One soldier yelled which all the Marines took aim.
"Straw Hat and Hoshigaki!" Sentomaru shouted, gaining there attention.
"Huh?! You're gonna get in my way again?! She told me it'd be harder to set sail of I caused a commotion." Luffy complained to the Marine.
"Don't worry. You're not going to set sail. Things have changed these past two years. I've official become a marine now! I will capture you two right here! PX-5!" Sentomaru shouted which the machine took aim at Luffy and Naruto who just stood there, watching as it fires but they simultaneously dodged at the sane time with little more then no effort though Naruto just stood there with the beans just passing through his water body.
"Too slow!" Luffy said just as an explosion happened behind them, surprising all the marines at seeing this. Naruto merely looks at his captain who made the first move.
"Gear Second!" Hearing that, he too smiles while grabbing Samahada who explodes from the bandages and immediately fuses with Naruto causing his muscles too grow.
"Gomu Gomu no..." As he said it the Pacifista charges straight for the two but they had already moved with incredible speeds with Naruto appearing under it so he could deliver and uppercut that sent it up towards Luffy who swing down his fiat full force, resulting in the impact not only smashing and breaking its head but causing a large crater to form from Jet Pistol much to the shock of the marines.
"Nice one captain!" Naruto shouted as he blinks in surprise and turns seeing the three others Pacifista's charging straight for him which he merely turns to them but something extraordinary happened, faster then the machines moved, Naruto's arms moved even faster as he takes a specific stance with his left hand making a half-ram and then extending his right hand down with his palm parallel to the ground. As this happened, something appeared behind Naruto, it was the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon which unleashed a barrage of light blue punches that devastated the Pacifista's who did see the attack coming and were blown away by the power of them.
"What the hell?! Sentomaru said with shock just as the four exploded from the damage.
"Damn, we have gotten stronger." Naruto said, appearing back on the stage with Luffy picking up the large bag.
"Eheheh, see ya later! I'm sure I'll be seeing you again." Luffy said with a large smile on his face as he was running off the stage with Naruto following after him, both ignoring Sentomaru telling them too wait.
"Don't let them get away!" One marine shouted with all of them chasing after the chuckling banana-shaped smiling Luffy and Naruto.
"Hey, Luffy!" Hearing that, the look onwards to find Zoro and Sanji, the real ones fast approaching them.
"Luffy! This was you after all! How can you already be in trouble?" Sanji questions his captain with a smile on his face.
"There's no mistaking it this time! I really missed you guys!" Luffy said happily at seeing his crew mates.
"SHIT! PX-7!" Hearing that, both Sanji and Zoro nice fast to counter the fast approaching Pacifista.
"MOVE IT!" They screamed with Zoro spinning too cut it in half while Sanji kicked it head far away from it body like a pro soccer player.
"I cut him down!" Zoro said but Sanji just disagreed by saying he kicked its head off. When they had landed in front of Luffy, an explosion happened behind them due to the destroyed machine too damaged to be repaired.
"Hey, Luffy, who's he?" Zoro questions Luffy who just smiles.
"He's the spirit of Going Merry!" Was all Luffy said, not even explaining what he meant by that resulting in both Pirates having a "wtf" look on there faces which Naruto just sighs.
"On second thought, I think I should explain who I am..." Naruto thought with a bead of sweat coming down his face as they all began running together.
"It's been so long! I can't wait to see everyone back together!" Luffy said with happiness but stops suddenly, gaining there attention to see Luffy had his back turned towards them with the anime on his face widening.
"It's him..." Naruto thought with his eyes widening at seeing the one and only Rayleigh standing on the hill.
"RAYLEIGH!" Luffy screamed, stopping all the marines who turned too see the man man standing in the hill with a smile on his face.
"The Dark King, Rayleigh?!" One marine shouted in shock Jody as the man chuckled.
"I decided to come and have a look, but it seems you're doing just fine. You've gotten even stronger since I last saw you." Hearing that, Luffy could only nod in agreement.
"Then hurry up and her going! Back to your friends!" He told Luffy who once again nodded while saying "Right!".
"Rayleigh! Thanks for everything these past two years!" Luffy shouted to his teacher who have a laugh after hearing that
"This isn't like you. Hurry up and go!" He told him but Luffy drops his bag and took a few steps forwards much to the surprise of the dark King who didn't know what he was doing until he saw Luffy raise both arms, turning his hands into fists.
"Rayleigh! I'm gonna do it! I'M GONNA BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!" Luffy shouted resulting in Naruto, Zoro, and Sanji smiling at there captains words.
