Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter and before anything I have to say I ran into a problem as the notes I had for this story have all been deleted which I never reveal deleting as well as from my long break I've forgotten quite a bit on what I had planned sadly since everything I had were in those notes such as Naruto's future crew, attacks, etc...have no idea what happened to it since I looked for it today and it wasn't in my notes not to mention the fights will be a little different as I've been gone since last year. I'll do my best to update this a few times before returning to my others stories as it's getting close to the 6 month period of this very year and I haven't updated my other main stories yet. Also next chapter will be longer as this one was a warm up to get back into this story. Also, considering maybe one day I'll do a prototype story chapter of Naruto x Darling in the Franxx x Evangelion.

Chapter 38: Hoshigaki D. Naruto Versus Hody Jones Part 1 of 3

LAST TIME

"So, you are in a league of your own right now!" Shouted none other than Hody, gaining everyone's attention to see the badly hurt Fishman standing on the rubble he was under moments ago, despite his serious injures from a point-blank range attack he still stood up. In his left arm was still the box he held yet it was undamaged, confusing Naruto at why he was still holding it yet knew something was off about it.

"Yet..." After saying that, he showed a wicked smile on his face just before he did something that shocked everyone. He immediately picks up a blade before he chops off his own left arm, resulting in everyone no longer understanding his actions yet he just places the box on the ground. Immediately, he starts unwrapping it while light begins too emanate from it until it was finally untied and he opens it quickly. What he took out made even less sense, it was a very bony looking human arm of sorts. The color of it was purple with black tattoo's running all over it. Seeing it, Naruto couldn't understand what possible reason he would take such a thing out, not until he felt it...something pulsed deep within his soul at the sight of it. Hody only smiles as he unexpectedly rams that arm into the area where he cut his own arm off, immediately causing him too fall to his knees, right hand holding his head while the left started pulsing and growing. Sounds of pain could only escape from Hody's mouth as what he's done.

"I...can't breath...MY BODY IS GONNA EXPLODE!" Hody shouted as the arm grows more until it matches the other yet the black tattoo's start multiplying and spreading somewhat over the shoulder and part of the abdomen area, increasing the yells of pain with veins appearing along with his body growing just like the arm. In a matter of moments he no longer had a large belly, being far more muscular than before, with his muscles bulging in size with thick veins appearing, particularly on his arms, and his size greatly increased, being in equal in size to Ikaros Much, the largest of the New Fishman Pirates. His dark hair had lightened exponentially. Seeing this, Naruto's just stares at him in shock, watching as the arm settles down. Hody just looks up at Naruto with a crazed smile on his face with his transformation having been completed.

"Let me show you, the forbidden treasure of the Ryugu Palace! THE LEFT ARM OF THE APOCALYPSE KING!" Hearing that, Naruto's eyes continue too widen while Hody extends his new arm out, opening the hand too reveal a mouth with a tongue coming out of it and an eyeball opening up on the back of the hand, it showed a red sclerae and irides, with a ripple pattern spreading over the eyeball and three tomoe. While this was happening, each of the five fingers change in color.

CURRENT TIME

"The, left arm of the Apocalypse King?" The moment he said that, in an instant he not only felt it but saw it, too. It was giant monster towering over Hody as is was looking down at him with a sinister aura that caused Naruto's eyes to immediately narrow before he entered a fighting stance just before all of a sudden Hody appeared in front of him with his left arm pulled back. As he saw this, he recalled everything Hody has done and with it he grew serious before he enters an immediate stance so he could stomp with his mechanical leg on the ground, causing all the water in the air too offset the balance of all things around him, causing a powerful shockwave through it as Hody was hit by it yet he still smiles.

"Repulsion!" When Naruto heard that, he was met with a powerful force slamming into him that starts too force him back just as Hody stands their and extends his new arm at Naruto.

"ATTRACTION!" Hody shouts as he leaps for Naruto who at the time was suddenly forced forwards towards the larger fishman who was drawing his left arm back as he swung full force at Naruto who brought his arms up.

"Weak Force!" As he shouted that, Naruto brought both arms forwards as to create a massive eruption of metallic ocean water between them just as he jumps, dodging a sudden force that disintegrates the metallic ocean water. Seeing this, Naruto felt the pulse again just as he lands with his eyes narrowing to see the hands mouth was giving him a wicked smile before he disappeared, reappearing behind Hody who turns fast.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN—" Hody stops at seeing Naruto having raised his right leg all the way up to 90 degrees.

Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style, Fang of the Sea King." As he said it, he brought the heel of his leg down just as Hody swung his left fist.

"Wea—" He couldn't finish as a massive metallic water sword slams into him, drawing blood which he coughs out some before he angrily grabs the blade that was forcing him back in order to disintegrate it and push away the two disconnected ends, staring at Naruto who once again was crouching.

Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style, Kick of The Water Dragon." As he said it, water already surround his right leg with a dragon's head taking shape from the water, he simply swung his right leg that caused the dragon to head straight for them while becoming metallic. Seeing this, Hody extends his left arm towards it.

"THAT WON'T WORK!" Hody shouts as he was about to use Weak Force when all of a sudden the water dragon dispersed into a wave of metallic water the immediately starts encircling him as well as Moore joining it too create a large orb of rushing metallic water until it explodes with Hody being shown extending out his left arm but that was when his eyes widen to see Naruto standing right in front of him with his right hand drawn back.

"Mountain Crusher." Naruto said as he uses his Aqua Gentle Fist and slams the palm of his hand into Hody's stomach, causing blood to spit out of the Fishman's mouth as he begins to skid back from the attack and when he was about to attack he heard Naruto speak.

"It seems, you don't know how too use it." Spoke the hybrid who was behind Hody, causing him too turn fast to see Naruto drawing back his right arm which he turns while pulling back his left when he felt something grab him and looks to see that metallic water was wrapping around it, seeing this he immediately goes for a Fishman attack.

"Umidaiko!" Hody shouts as he goes to punch the water in front of him at but it was stopped when Naruto did the same yet instead of his usual palm, his fingers were curled a little as it stops in front of his face.

"Fishmen Karate: Kisame Style..." When he said that, he was hit by double the force of what he had used against Naruto, not realizing it was a reflective attack.

"Reverse Waterfall." As he said it, Hody was slammed into the face, causing him too stubble back while Naruto brought his arms up in order to clap them while a large amount of metallic water was gathering around him before it starts swirling around into a vortex.

"GREAT WATERFALL VORTEX!" Naruto shouts right before he unleashes a several dozens of metres high water attack. It it streams down to the ground in one big cascade, much like a gigantic waterfall directly at the wide eyed fishman who had no time to react as he consumed by the attack and sent crashing into the nearby small mountain, causing a large explosion with Naruto immediately flexing his muscles just as they increase in size as he draws his arms up with a massive amount of metallic water appearing being him from outside of the island.

"EXPLODING WATER SHOCK WAVE!" As Naruto shouts that, he swung both arms forwards to send a massive tsunami towards the mountain in a hurry to end as the tsunami crashes into the mountain, causing a large explosion from the metallic water crashing into the earth. Seeing this, Naruto begins to relax but his body twitches as he noticed the markings are starting to fade.

"Dammit, my limit is two large scale attacks." Naruto thought as he felt his time was beginning to run out. While this was happening, the others were watching in amazement at the large scale attacks he had unleashed upon Hody which Luffy being the one who couldn't help but smile along with an amazed Nami while a tearful Shirahoshi found this to be amazing but that amazement and their smiles were cut short when an explosion happened and with it the massive wave he sent at Hody was now heading for him as well as the others behind him, seeing this Naruto immediately raises both of his arms in a hurry to stop it but something escaped its waters, leaving a track the lead behind him which he turns just as he heard the word "Attraction" causing him to be forcefully be dragged towards a left fist that slams into his stomach.

"Inertia + Repulsion" With those words, he was hit by an enormous force sent sent him into a large rock formation that, creating a large explosion with dust flying everywhere as Naruto's body was laying in the rocks with a line of blood from his mouth yet he still had that serious expression on his face as he stared at Hody who doesn't appear to be that hurt. The two said nothing until Naruto forced himself out of the rocks so he could land on his feet while he spoke.

"So...it's true. The First King did possess the strongest Devil Fruit in the entire world. That Devil Fruit gave him the power to manipulate the four fundamental forces that govern the world. Gravity, Electromagnetic Force, Weak Force, and Strong Force. That also includes Inertia, Friction, and Acceleration from how you were able too deal even greater physical damage then you did before as well as your speed suddenly increasing." Hearing that, Hody just smiles when he heard that more so at seeing the markings have started to fade which he begins to take a step forward when he was suddenly overcome with a overwhelming feeling that caused his entire body to go stiff which he immediately looks down at his new arm that was twitching a lot which he grits his teeth. The two got ready, Naruto's Sage mode starting to run out and Hody starting to feel the effects of the arm but before the two did anything, they noticed something overshadowing them but not just them but the entire vicinity. Seeing this, they stopped what they were doing and just turn to be met with great shock at the sight of the massive Noah ship that was floating above fishman island. The sight of the ship stopped all the fighting with many beginning too freak out at what they were seeing. Suddenly something came falling down, a giant Fishman who crashed into the ground between Naruto and Hody who watched him fall forwards before sitting up in pain.

"Wadatsumi, why is Decken's underling here?!" Hody demands the large Fishman who looks up at the giant ship immediately as well as in a hurry.

"Captain Vander Decken! I fell off! Stop the ship! I don't wanna die!" Wadatsumi shouts at the massive ship while Naruto and Hody understood what was happening as their fight was put on hold.

"DECKEN/DECKEN!" Both Naruto and Hody shout with great anger at what they were seeing.
