Chapter 76: Enter Mr. 2: The Weirdo Ballerina

It was a quiet day on the Going Merry, Naruto was giving his lesions to Sasuke on the use of Chi while Kiba and Hinata watched giving small pointers. Also the ship was begging to run out of food from the island so Luffy and Usopp were fishing for food while using a special bait.

"Carue!" cried Vivi, "What are you doing to Carue!"

"Looks like Vivi found Carue." Said Kiba with a sweat drop.

"Those idiots…" muttered Sasuke who then a breath, his he tried his best to channel Chi into his arm while at the same time thinking about lighting… that's when it began to spark with electricity… a lot.

"It's working…" said Sasuke blinking at it began to fade hwoever.

"He's only been working on that for a day and he's already gotten the hang of it." Said Kiba.

That's when they noticed Naruto sitting in the corner of the ship, with the air black around him, Hinata was comforting him.

"Is he going to be all right?" asked Kiba with a sweat drop.

"Who cares." Said Sasuke walking away.

"Hey!" yelled Naruto getting up, "You think your special that you learned how to use that thing!"

Sasuke glared at Naruto, "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Remember! Using Chi in practice and in battle are two different things!" yelled Naruto.

"I know…" growled Sasuke.

The two began a glaring match…

"Hey…" said Kiba pointing to a weird green cloud they were headed to.

"Don't worry… that's just steam." Said Nami.

Nami began to explain things about under water volcanoes and how steam is formed…

"It's amazing." Said Sakura.

"But we're going to have to sail though it…" mumbled Ino.

And so they did sail though… cough and wheezing though the entire way… and glaring… despite the coughing… somehow Naruto and Sasuke were still glaring at each other.

When they were though the steam they were still glaring at each other.

"Hey… Sasuke, Naruto… there's a guy in tutu hanging from Carue." Said Kiba.

"Like I'd believe that." Both of them said.

"But he's telling the truth." Said Hinata.

Both of them turned to Usopp and Luffy using Carue as bait… there was indeed a man in a tutu holding on to him he wore swans on his back, a blue shirt with swans on them a pink jacket that said "Oh come my way" on the back (it really didn't' say that… but something similar… just leave it that) and of course as stated before a tutu, he also were ballet shoes, a weird thing on his head with puff balls and make-up, which made them sweat drop.

That's when the man in the tutu fell into the water…

A few minutes later everyone was gathered on the deck around him expect for Sanji who was inside washing dishes.

"Thank you so much. To think I was saved by a pirate crew I don't even know." Said the ballerina man.

"So you can swim?" asked Luffy.

"No. I ate one of the Devil Fruits." Said the man.

"Really which one?" asked Usopp.

"Anyway, I'm sure my ship is looking for me, so I minds as well entertain you." Said the man.

That's when he slammed his hand onto Luffy's face sending the captain flying… of course this made everyone angry… both Naruto and Zoro were about to attack.

"Wait! Please this is all part of my act!" said the man… who for some reason sounded like Luffy.

They looked to see he transformed into Luffy… but still had on the same clothes.

"No way!" said Naruto.

"What made you think there wasn't a Devil Fruit at allowed someone to transform… Kit… you're part fox demon, because of me you're able to tap into the true strength of the fruit which is why your able to transform." said Kyubi.

"Oh right…" thought Naruto with a sweat drop.

"Surprised?" asked the man disguised as Luffy.

The Straw Hats were somewhat surprised, had Naruto not existed or something maybe they would be surprised…

"What's wrong?" asked man disguised as Luffy.

"It's nothing." Said Nami.

"And if I touch my face with my left hand I change back." Said the man how went back to his normal face, "That's power of the Clone Clone Fruit."

"Why is it called the Clone Clone Fruit? It sounds like a Devil Fruit that makes someone into a clone user?" asked Kiba.

"I'm not the one who named it…" sighed the man.

"Either way, it's still pretty cool." Said Luffy… once again, he'd think it would be cooler had Naruto not been on board.

"And I don't need to punch." Said the man who began to lightly tap everyone else who on the bottom deck (which was everyone on the ship other than Vivi and Sanji). The man began to transform into the others while informing them of his abilities… he changed from Usopp to Kiba to Hinata to Zoro to Sasuke to Sakura to Chopper to Ino to Naruto and finally Nami… and he used Nami's appearance to show… it's not just face… meaning that he flashed Luffy, Naruto, Chopper Usopp and Kiba.

"All right!" yelled Kyubi, "I saw Nami's boobs! I will remember this for the rest of my life!"

"That pervert." Thought Naruto who watched as the man was hit repeatedly by Nami for using her body to flash them.

The man got up and said, "Usually when people see my powers their more shocked." Said the man.

Naruto smirked, "That's because you're not the only with transformation powers." Said Naruto.

"What?" asked the man.

That's when Naruto transformed into the man, while the man transformed into them, he still kept the clothes he was wearing… "See I have no limits. What I noticed that you have limits." Said Naruto disguised as the man, then he transformed into Luffy, "I can change as will, not only that but my clothes change as well." Said the Luffy disguised Naruto who then transformed into his female form but clothed "I can transform into any one I have ever seen… and even people who don't exist. My only limit is my imagination." Said the girl Naruto who then went back.

The man was in shock, "That was amazing! How are you able to do it?" he asked.

"Sorry… that's a secret." Said Naruto.

"He's part fox demon…" said Sasuke.

"Ah, yes… fox demons… they are known for their ability to transform." Said the man.

Naruto glared at Sasuke with his eye twitching, "I hate you…" he muttered.

"I know…" muttered Sasuke.

"But I do have a limit…" said Naruto with a sigh, "I'm not good at remembering people faces…"

"In other words… he's an idiot." Said Sakura.

Naruto sighed even more and sweat dropped.

"But part of my power is that I remember everyone I have touched." Said the man.

"Really?" asked Naruto.

"Can we see it?" asked Luffy.

"No I can't show it anyone." Said the man.

"Please." Said Luffy, Naruto, Usopp, Kiba and Chopper… Akamaru also begged a little.

"Fine… I'll show you." Said man, which made the more mature/ sane ones sweat drop.

"He's easily persuaded." Said Nami.

"You got that right." Said Sakura.

The man began to transform into many people he met in the past… but one of the faces shocked Vivi to the core… one of the faces… was her father's.

"It can't be… why…" thought Vivi.

Ino saw it too… she recognized the face… but didn't know where… then she saw Vivi's face. She walked up the stairs.

"Vivi… who was that?" asked Ino.

"He for some reason transformed into my father…" said Vivi.

"Oh… that's weird…" said Ino.

The man and the much more childish crew members were happily flickering as Nami tried their best o ignore them, when she saw a ship in the distance.

"Hey, is that your ship?" asked Nami.

"IT is!" said the man who jumped up to the front of the ship, "Well I must part ways."

"But why?" asked Luffy.

"I must…" said the man, "But remember! What happened today will remain with us because of friendship… it's not determined by how much time we spent together."

And so his swan like ship arrived.

"I hope we meet again!" cried Naruto.

"Set sail." Said the man.

"Aye aye Mr. 2 Bon Clay." Said a member of the man's ship…

And so as it turned out… the man was Mr. 2… a member of Baroque Works.

"Mr. 2!" yelled almost everyone on board.

"See that's what you get for like little kids to a stranger." Said Sasuke.

"That was MR. 2 Bon Clay!" yelled Vivi.

"Why didn't you recognize him?" asked Ino.

"I never met him or Mr. 1… I don't even know what his powers are. The only thing I heard were rumors…" said Vivi as she fell to her knees and began to cry, "They say he wears make up and talks like a girl and wears a sawn jacket that says "Oh come my way on the back"

"Are you blind?" asked Naruto, Luffy, Usopp and Zoro.

"What's worse is that he mimicked my father face when he did that memory thing." Said Vivi.

"If he's Mr. 2… and he can transform into your father..." Said Hinata.

"He could cause a lot of damage." Said Zoro.

"We let a bad guy get away." Sighed Usopp.

"He was our enemy?" asked Chopper.

"That guy could be a lot of trouble if he decides we're his enemies. He could transform into us and we wouldn't be able to trust each other." Said Nami.

"Really." Said Luffy surprised.

"Listen Luffy…" said Nami.

"Luffy might be an idiot and can trust him… but… we don't to worry about him." said Sasuke.

"Why?" asked Sakura as she was close to fawning over him.

"This could be a good thing we met him." Said Zoro, "We can plan a strategy."

The other nodded...

That's when Sanji came onto the deck.

"Um… who stole all of the food in the fridge?" he asked.

Naruto, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Kiba and Akamaru seemed to freeze.

"Those idiots…" said Sasuke.

And because of them… they didn't' have lunch that day.

"I'm so hungry." Whined Luffy.

"You're always hungry!" yelled everyone but Naruto.

"I know me too…" whined Naruto.

Sakura sighed, "Why do we even bother."

That's when a sea monster that looked like a cat appeared.

"Food!" yelled Luffy and Naruto.

"All right, finally a decent meal!" yelled Zoro.

"Just ignore them?" asked Sakura.

"Just ignore them." Said Nami with a nod.

"Idiots…" muttered Ino.

The ship continued on its way… ignoring the sea monster… well sort of… Sanji almost got involved in trying to catch that the monster and Vivi had to knock some sense some sense into them with a mace she happened to have some bizarre reason.

"Where did you get that?" asked Kiba.

"I have no idea." Said Vivi who then turned to the idiot, "We can eat that animal. It's a Sea Cat, their scared in Alabasta."

"You didn't have to tell us like that." Said Naruto rubbing his head.

"Don't worry… we'll have plenty to eat very soon." Said Vivi.

"Really?" asked Naruto.

"The weather seems to stabilizing." Said Nami, "I think we're in Alabasta's climate zone."

"The Sea Cat confirms it." Said Vivi nodding in agreement.

"And so does that." Said Sasuke.

Sasuke pointed to a ton of ships in the distance… which all the had the Baroque Works mark on it.

"Those must be the Billions." Said Vivi.

"They're the elate, right?" Sasuke.

"Right… this won't be like Whisky Peak." Said Vivi.

"All right! Let's blow them out of the water!" yelled Luffy.

"Let's just forget them." Said Zoro.

"Why!" yelled Naruto.

"There's only 15 of us… and 200 of them… use your head Dobe…" said Sasuke.

"What was that!" yelled Naruto.

"And besides… don't' we have to do something with your plan?" asked Sasuke looking at Zoro.

Zoro smirked…

Sometime later everyone toying clothes to their wrists.

"These transformations really that good?" asked Sanji as he finished tying his own.

"They are. You should have seen it." Said Usopp.

"They're a lot better than Naruto's… mainly because he has a better memory." Said Sasuke as his was being tied by Ino.

"What was that?" asked Naruto as his was being tied by Hinata.

"Now that we know what we're up against we have to plan our moves carefully." Said Zoro.

"Am I supposed to do?" asked Chopper.

"Just do what you can. If you have to run that okay." Said Usopp.

"That's what you do best… isn't that right Akamaru?" asked Kiba.

Akamaru barked and nodded.

"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Usopp.

"We're nearing harbor… we're going to dock in a cover to the west." Said Nami.

Everyone gathered in a cycle putting their left arms together.

"Right! No matter what happens from here on out! Our left arms will beat the sign of our fellowship!" said Luffy.

The others nodded in agreement.

"All right! Now let's go get food!" said Luffy, "Oh and save Alabasta…"

"Why was that an afterthought?" asked Ino.

"Hey… what got you so angry?" asked Naruto.

"This is where I came from… I keep telling you that!" yelled Ino.

Vivi watched them and smiled at she looked at the cloth on her arm… she knew that no matter what they would help her.

They finally arrived in Alabasta, not knowing what would, what surprises hold be in store… only thing that was known was that they had a Kingdom Save... And right now… that was the main… along with food. Of course they had to get food.

Next Time: The crew finally lands on the island... Luffy and Naruto go to find a place to eat and get into trouble with the Marines, while the others prepare... However someone's looking for Luffy and Naruto... who is it, and what are his ties. Find out next time!
