Chapter 2

In the several hours after Naruto saw the pirate ship coming on the horizon Katabami island became a warzone. The invading pirate ship was covered in golden plates with a lion as their figure head and Jolly Roger. The pirates seemed to have no intention of negotiationing with the villagers since the minute they disembarked the pirates immediately started to pillage and burn as much of the village as possible. Things quickly devolved into an even struggle between the pirates and the citizens of Katabami island who didn't take too kindly to strangers assaulting their home. The people of Katabami may have been peaceful by nature but this was still the South Blue we're talking about. Unlike the peaceful sea of the East Blue that was crawling with marines and relatively low level pirates the South Blue was considerably more wild and because of their lack of constant marine HQs many islanders had to learn to take care of themselves when necessary.

Making his way back to the village Naruto ran towards the section of the village containing the shops and restaurants. After checking the Curry of Life Shop and seeing that Granny Sansho was smart enough to evacuate with the majority of the civilians Naruto decided to join the men and other fighting civilians against the invading pirates.

"This is no place for you kid, go find someplace safe to hide!" Ordered a burly man who was currently clashing swords with one of the pirates; he was the owner of the town's bakery if memory serves.

"I can take care of myself pops." Naruto said using his smaller body to slide under the legs of a random pirate and slashing his ankles with his hunting knife. When the pirate took a knee from the pain Naruto smashed his fist into his face, knocking him out cold.

"Fine kid but be careful and try not to get yourself killed." Warned the baker before he broke the clash with his enemy and gutted the pirate with his sword.

Shaking his head in conformation Naruto proceeded to enter the fray taking the baker's words to heart and using surprise attacks in order to incapacitate a dozen of the weaker pirates.

However this shift in favor of the people of Katabami was cut short the minute the blonde heard the scream of an attack.

"Voice Missile!" Yelled an older masculine voice before a blue beam blasted through a building down the street from our favorite Uzumaki.

The person walking through the rubble of the destroyed building was a fairly tall dark skinned red-haired man in golden armor that resembled a cat and was surrounded by the unmoving bodies of several Katabami villagers.

"What is taking you guys so long to defeat these weaklings? Our job is to burn this town and take all its gold remember!" Yelled the pirate, obviously the captain of this crew.

"Yes Captain Drago!" His men barked back fighting the townsfolk with renewed vigor in order to avoid their captain's wrath.

(El Drago POV)

When the red haired gold loving pirate first arrived at the small island of the South Blue he didn't expect his crew would have so much trouble. After the initial attack and burning of some of the island's houses the shift in the battle started to change with the townsfolk beginning to fight back and kill some of his men. Disgusted by their weakness he decided to finally get himself involved.

Taking a deep breath and channeling the power of his devil fruit El Drago released a blue beam of sound towards a nearby building and the people inside.

"Voice Missile!"

Walking through the rubble of the destroyed building and threatening his men El Drago was proud to see the battle shifting towards his side again.

Now feeling content the redhead pirate decided to leave the fighting to his men and take a casual stroll of the island his crew was raiding. However when passing the windows of an abandoned shop he noticed the shining of his favorite substance in the world; gold. Breaking the glass Drago ran towards the pile of gold; rubbing the precious metal against his face lovingly. Unfortunately Drago's love of gold proved to be his undoing because he was so absorbed in his greed he failed to notice the blonde boy that dropped from the store ceiling and stabbed him directly in the back.

(Normal POV)

"Aaaahhh!" Screamed the pirate Captain in pain before he grabbed the blonde teen on his shoulder and threw him across the room knife and all.

'Damn I missed!' Naruto cursed in his head. His plan to lure El Drago into the building and stab him to death was going well but he was just a few inches off. Naruto had followed his father's teachings of staying informed on the bounties of criminals in the South Blue and knew from his bounty poster how obsessed El Drago was with gold. The idea of using this to lay a trap for the cat-like man seemed sound and a much better alternative to fighting him head on.

"You little brat I'll cut you to shreds!" He growled dashing towards Naruto in a blind rage golden claws primed to rip his face off.

It was only through quick thinking, instinct, and a little luck that Naruto decided to once again rely on his smaller stature to slide in between El Drago's legs in order to cut his ankles. The attack appeared to have the same results as before causing Drago to kneel in pain.

Knowing that this was his best chance to finish off the captain of the invading crew Naruto ran towards the kneeling El Drago with his knife primed to end his life.

Unfortunately today just wasn't Naruto's day because the boy found himself running head first into El Drago's gaping mouth that was charging an all too familiar Voice Missile attack.

The blue beam of sound hit Naruto like a freight train sending him through the wall of the store and into the street, his flight only being broken by a nearby fruit cart.

Almost all Naruto could feel at the moment was pain. His body was bruised all over with his left arm mangled and broken from his fall.

El Drago walked towards the body of his downed opponent with a bloodthirsty smile on his face stomping on his injured left arm.

"Aahh!" Naruto screamed feeling the bones in his arm beginning to crack under the weight of El Drago's boot.

"I can't believe a brat like you was able to make me bleed." Growled out the Captain before kicking the blonde in the ribs in anger, forcing more screams from the boy's throat.

Picking up Naruto's beaten body by his neck Drago lifted his clawed hand and readied himself to end the young boy's life.

"Any last words kid?"

"..." Naruto whispered with his eyes closed.

"What was that kid?" He asked bringing Naruto's face closer to his ear.

"I said I'll see you in hell bastard!" He yelled opening his eyes and stabbing El Drago in the throat with a jagged piece of wood he was hiding in his right hand.

"Uuugghh!" Came the gargled scream of El Drago desperately trying to rip the makeshift shiv from his throat. However in doing so he only made the bleeding worse causing him to start to lose blood at an excellerated rate.

Naruto would remember this moment for the rest of his life. Someone's first kill was rarely pretty but being a 13 year old and watching someone you stabbed bleed to death would definitely stay with the blonde.

After El Drago fell face first on the ground unresponsive Naruto knew without a doubt he was dead.

Shakily standing up and cradling his broken arm Naruto looked around at the destruction of the neighborhood his fight with Drago caused. However when looking at the rubble of the destroyed shops Naruto noticed one of the fruits from the broken cart begin to change. The previously ordinary plum turned a bright green and developed circular patterns.

Naruto knew from the stories that this was a devil fruit, most likely whatever fruit Drago ate seeing how he had no use for it anymore.

'Should I eat it?' He thought knowing how rare fruits were and how this was a rare opportunity.

'What am I thinking taking the power of a man I just killed. For God's sake his body wasn't even cold. Then again when will I get another chance to eat one? I can't afford to be picky plus even though he was a bastard his fruit whatever it was gave him crazy destructive power.'

Finally making up his mind Naruto picked up the plum devil fruit and took a big bite. Nearly throwing up at the disgusting taste Naruto muscled through eating the fruit whole. Walking away from the destroyed neighborhood Naruto was hoping he could find a good place to hide for the rest of the invasion. He had done his part and was sure that the others could handle whatever remained of Drago's crew without him.

'Maybe after this is all over I can see what this power is all about.' He thought loving his plan especially now that it meant he could get some much needed R&R and hopefully medical attention.

"Boy you stop right there!" Yelled an unfamiliar but extremely angry voice behind him that immediately dashed any dreams Naruto had for avoiding anymore fighting.

Turning towards the owner of the voice Naruto met the glare of a well-built man that resembled a Native American and had a large sword in hand.

"Your the one who killed Captain Drago weren't you?" The man asked putting two and two together after seeing El Drago's unmoving body and Naruto's shaggy blood stained appearance.

Not seeing a point in lying now seeing he was caught literally red handed he decided to just be honest.

"Yea it was me what are you gonna do about it? You guys chose to attack my home so you'll find no mercy from me." He threatened mustering up all his confidence in the hopes he'd just take the body of his deceased captain and go.

"You little shit you just ruined my payday! Golass the mercenary always gets paid so now I'll have to kill you and take my salary from your little town!" Threatened the now named Golass who charged at Naruto with his massive sword, intent on cutting the boy in half with an overhead slice.

Knowing that he was in no condition to dodge Naruto desperately tried to draw in the power of his devil fruit to save himself.

Feeling a tingling sensation overcame his body Naruto took a deep breath and the energy trapped inside himself began to awaken.

"VOICE MISSILE!" He screamed with all his might releasing a beam of sonic force at Golass. Unlike El Drago his beam was a deep red and trumped the size of Drago's almost three times over.

Once his attack was released Naruto fell on all fours and began throwing up blood. His throat muscles were raw. Obviously not being able to withstand the full force of his fruit's power yet took a tole on him.

When he finished puking Naruto lifted his head and went wide-eyed seeing the destruction he caused. A shoulder width trench was now cut into the street and seemed to go on for three blocks with Golass slightly charred and unmoving body at the end of it. Every window for each shop also seemed to have broken due to the power of Naruto's powerful voice.

'Awesome, now I'm taking a nap.' He thought seconds before falling face first onto the street and going out like a light.

-X-X-X-

Hours after the deaths of El Drago and Golass the remaining members of his crew were being rounded up in the town square while our blonde haired protagonist was on a bench being bandaged up by Granny Sansho alongside the rest of the injured.

"Oww Granny the brace is too tight are you trying to kill me?" Croaked the Uzumaki, his voice still sore from using the overpowered Voice Missile.

Knowing that she couldn't in good concience hit the injured boy Sansho settled with giving him a heated glare.

"And I told you Naru that the brace needs to be firm so that your arm heals correctly. If you have so much of a problem with my methods I'm sure the Baker could just cut if off and save you all this headache." She stated knowing the threat of amputation would be enough to stop his complaining.

With a now silent patient Sansho was able to finish bandaging up the rest of Naruto's body to the point he could move on his own.

Naruto and Sansho were able to walk together towards the crowd in the town square where the remaining 15 Drago pirates were shackled on a wooden platform with nooses around each of their necks. The townsfolk had agreed that a public hanging was a just punishment for the destruction of their home. Personally Naruto felt they were getting off easy.

"Any last words before you hang pirates?" Asked the muscular town baker who had his hand on the lever that would end all of their lives.

"You don't understand you have to let us go the captain said this island was only supposed to be a pit stop she is still following us!" Exclaimed one of the pirates with the noose around his neck who was crying like a toddler.

Similar cries of mercy were being said by the rest of the captured crew with yells of how she was still after them and how they were all doomed.

"Tell us who is after you and maybe we'll let you and the rest of your comrades sail away peacefully." Threatened the baker.

"It was the captain he said all we needed to do was pretend to swear loyalty to her and then we could make off with her gold. He never told us she would follow us all the way from the Grand Line for revenge." Said another pirate who was wheeping like a man who knew he had made the worst mistake of his life.

"Who did you and your captain betray? Who is the woman that's coming for you?" Asked the baker again getting sick of the pirates refusal to answer a simple question.

While this interrogation was going on Naruto was having a terrible headache and for the last couple of minutes his ears were ringing. Ever couple of seconds he could have swore he heard a distant voice that almost seemed to be singing.

"She is one of the pirates that controls the ocean. Arguably the most powerful woman in the world Big..." Whatever the pirate was going to say next was drowned out by noise that at first seemed like a siren alarm. It was only after a couple of seconds that the people of Katabami island and the captured pirates realized it was the sound of someone singing. It was a sweet but ominous song that only had one repeating word.

"Ship! Ship!"

[Question to Reviewers]

Q: Would you guys be interested in me publishing a Naruto x Hero Academia story I've been cooking up or should I wait for this story to get farther along? If I end up publishing it alongside Dark Type Master & 12th Supernova my update speed will unfortunately have to go down. Is trying to juggle 3 stories smart or not?
