A/N: All right, first full episode of the arc! I think by this chapter you will know what the Arc is based on.
Chapter 131: Spirited Away
Naruto opened his eyes, he didn't know what was going on… he blinked.
"Where am I?" he thought.
"Your dumb luck strikes again kit." Said Kyubi.
"My head." Said Naruto.
"This is not your week but at least your alive." Said Kyubi.
That was when he saw a girl, a little older than him, covered in bandages.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Eat." Said the girl handing him a bowl of soup.
Back on the Going Merry Usopp was making repairs.
"I really hope that thing goes away and never comes back." Said Usopp.
"What was that thing anyway?" asked Sakura.
"So it wasn't a Fishman?" asked Ino.
"Not one I've seen." Said Sakura.
"There's an island up ahead." Called out Gaara.
"Okay!" yelled Luffy jumping from somewhere, "We'll search for Naruto there!"
"But Luffy!" said Nami.
"Naruto's alive! He wouldn't die that easily." Yelled Luffy becoming rather angry.
Everyone remained silent, they just hoped Luffy was right on that one.
With Naruto he was eating some soup, that was when he noticed the girl who was helping him was covered in bandages.
"What happened to you?" asked Naruto.
The girl said nothing.
"Can I at least get your name?" asked Nami.
"Isaribi." Said the girl.
"Okay…" said Naruto, "So you live here all by yourself?"
The girl said nothing.
"She's quite the talker." Said Kyubi.
"Yeah…" thought Naruto.
With the Going Merry they docked at a hidden section of the island, Luffy jumped off the boat, "I'm going to find Naruto!" he yelled out.
"Wait Luffy!" cried Hinata following him.
"I guess we should look around ourselves." Said Nami.
"Maybe we should ask around about what just attacked us, I'm sure the locals might have heard about it." Said Robin.
Nami nodded, she, Sakura, Robin and Ino went to the docks to find it was a humble little town, with a smaller island not far off.
"Excuse me." Said Nami to a local fish seller.
"You're not from around here." Said the fish seller, "We haven't seen outsiders in a long time."
"Why" asked Nami.
"For the past few years the monster has been attacking any boat that comes near the island." Said the Fish Seller.
"The monster?" asked Sakura.
"Yes… it's a terrible monster that as attacked every ship that comes even near this island." Explained the man, "It takes all of its goods, kills sailors then sinks the ships… sometimes the survivors make it to this island but rarely."
"The monster attack our ship as well but it got away." Said Robin.
"It's that so… then you must have a strong crew then." Said the fish seller.
"Yeah, but our captain's brother fell overboard… and he's a Devil Fruit user." Said Ino.
"That's too bad." Sighed the man, "But at least you survived…"
There was a silence among the female crewmembers.
With Naruto, he felt all better.
"Are you okay?" asked Isaribi.
"I think so." Said Naruto.
"Leave when you went." Said Isaribi.
"What?" asked Naruto.
Isaribi left the house, and Naruto followed her out.
"Hey, you saved my life." Said Naruto, "At least let me make it up for you."
"Kit… look at her house." Said Kyubi.
Naruto looked at her house, it was heavily vandalized, covered in paint with a few broken windows.
"What happened here?" asked Naruto.
Isaribi said nothing and continued to walked away. Naruto followed her.
That was when a couple kids showed up.
"There she is!" yelled one of them.
They began to throw rocks at her. Naruto managed to catch a rock head to her face.
"Get away you kids! You shouldn't do that sort of thing!" yelled Naruto.
Isaribi looked at Naruto, "Why did you do that?" asked Isaribi.
"Because I hate people like that." Said Naruto.
"Well thanks… I guess your debt is paid off then." Said Isaribi.
"Hey wait a minute!" yelled Naruto.
"You know kit, maybe we can search the island for the crew." Said Kyubi, "We can deal with her later."
"Your right." Sighed Naruto.
Naruto went to search for the crew hopping to find them.
Meanwhile Luffy and Hinata was asking a woman if they had seen Naruto.
"No I haven't… I'm sorry." Said the woman.
"Oh… okay…" said Hinata.
"I'm not giving up hope." Said Luffy.
"I know." Said Hinata.
"Wait you said he was a blonde with spiky hair with weird scars that look like whiskers?" asked the woman.
"That's right." Said Luffy.
The woman pointed to behind them, that when they saw Naruto running towards them.
"Luffy Hinata!" yelled Naruto.
"Naruto!" said Hinata happily.
"Naruto!" yelled Luffy.
He got to them…
"How did you wind up here?" asked Hinata.
"A girl named Isaribi saved me." Said Naruto.
"Isaribi?" asked the woman.
"Yeah, why?" asked Naruto.
"She's the only person to ever come back." Said the woman.
"Come back?" asked Naruto.
The woman nodded, she pointed to the other smaller island, "That island is called Demon Island. Anyone who ever goes near it is spirited away."
"I love that movie!" said Kyubi.
Naruto rolled his eyes as the woman continued the story.
"My husband was among the people…" said the woman, "They never come back… and she's the only one who did."
"Is that why they do things to her?" asked Naruto.
"I guess you saw how many people treat her." Said the woman.
Naruto nodded.
Luffy and Hinata looked at each other, they realized what it meant… that the girl who saved Naruto was a mistreated outcast.
Elsewhere, a group of people met.
"So you let them get away?" asked the clear leader.
"I'm… I'm sorry." Said the smallest of the group which was a girl.
"And they were pirates, I'm surprised you let them get away." Said the third.
"Especially since their pirates." Said the last.
"Since it's a pirate ship get everything you need from the ship… or don't you want the cure." Said the leader.
"Okay… I'll do it." Said the girl.
"Good." Said the leader, "You two help them…"
"Right." Said the other two.
Sometime later back on the Going Merry, Gaara was alone on the ship.
That was when he sensed it again and the monster came out of the water. It was about to tackle Gaara, but hit a wall of Sand.
"I don't know what you are but I won't let you destroy this ship." Said Gaara.
A wind blew as the two ready to fight.
While they were standing off two men in masks snuck on board…
"What do you think you're doing?" asked a voice.
They turned around and saw Zoro and Sanji.
All of them knew that a fight was going to happen… that was for certain.
Next Time: Gaara faces off against the monster but has a difficult time due to the monster water abilities. Also Zoro and Sanji fights against the two guys who trying to steal things from the ship! However these two aren't normal... not normal at all.
