Chapter 1: Attack on Uzu Island

"Uhhhhhh" Usopp trailed off as he was hugely unnerved by the presence of the young prince (especially since he can feel the death glares of the fangirls).Usopp straightened up as he prepared a lie he was brutally cut off by his ever excitable Captain.

"Hi my name is Lufia and this is my crew!" She pointedly ignored the yell of anger by her crew for outright exposing themselves as pirates in foreign land and Nami yell off "I'm not a pirate!".

Naruto raised an eyebrow "your. . . crew? So you're a pirate Lufia-san? He asked as his guard tensed up prepared to protect his King but Naruto seeing this wave it off as Lufia and her crew seemed nice

Lufia nodded her head "Yea Yea I'm gonna be the Pirate Queen" she exclaimed with pride as a smile appeared on the faces of her crew and Nami.

Naruto blinked at hearing her conviction and smiled "Well that's a treacherous journey to go on Lufia-san".

Lufia smiled, "I know. . .and I don't care I will achieve my dream no matter what!"

"Kukukuku" Naruto laughed. "You know what. . I like you guys so what's your crews name"

"Roronoa Zoro" the moss head swordsman's curty said

"Hi I'm Usopp" introduced the long nose sniper

"My name is Sanji and you better not be getting close to Lufia-sama!"Sanji threatened causing the prince to raise an eyebrow in amusement

"Uhh I'm not a Pirate but I'm Nami and I'm helping navigate," Nami said hoping to make a good impression on the prince.

"Well you guys seem like a lovely cast of characters . ." Naruto chuckled as while he never seen pirates outside his mother's crew the Red Hell Pirates he certainly didn't expect them to be like this ". . .please feel free to eat and enjoy the festivities" the crew cheered as they indulged in the festivities eating, drinking,and partying.

Lufia was swept by joy as she watched her crew enjoy themselves.

This is what it means to be a pirate

Liberation

Lufia could feel her heart beating out of her chest but instead of fear or anxiety she felt true unadulterated joy.

But as quick as the feeling came it went away as the lights went out suddenly as screams of fright could be heard and she felt of wave of energy pass over her and when the lights returned suddenly Lufia sees everyone except her, Zoro, Sanji, Naruto, and his guard were turn to bronze.

"What the hell!" Naeuto shouted standing to his feet looking around the place as his guard Ve Drew his sword and stood by on guard aiming it at the Strawhats who were examining their petrified crewmate and sort of crewmate.

"It must be these pirates here to steal your mother's treasure my liege" Ve said glaring at Lufia who glared right back.

"I WOULD NEVER ATTACK MY OWN NAKAMA" Lufia glared angered by the man's words causing Naruto to jump in between them raising his hands in a placating manner.

"Now everyone, we need to calm down and think rationally. . now Ve its would be counterintuitive for Lufia-san to attack her own crewmates" Naruto said as Lufia shouted in agreement.

Zoro examined the frozen Nami "this is obviously the work of a devil fruit user. . A strong one at that" he said.

Naruto blinked remembering the devil fruit in his pocket "Devil fruit user. . No one in our army is a devil fruit user. . .right Ve '' the dark skinned guard shrugged "we just got a batch of new recruits sir any of them could have a devil fruits. .i'll have to check with Raven".

Naruto nodded "So we'll split up Ve can search the castle and I'll check with Raven. . .will any of you come with me" he said directing the last part to the Strawhats

Lufia stepped up "Sanji and Zoro will follow dreadhead" she said ignoring Ve shouting "And I can go with you to Ravens" Naruto nodded as he and Lufia quickly made their way outside as Ve turn to Zoro and Sanjay

"We need to make haste if the assailant is still in the castle" the two pirates agreed as they followed the guard.

Outside–

Naruto and Lufia walked amongst the populace, everyone frozen covered in bronze faces screwed in horror and/or shock.

"Everyone. . .my people are all petrified. . . What sort of monster could've done this. . " Naruto growled angrily at the assailant.

Lufia also frowned "whoever did this is strong no doubt" suddenly some guards ran up to them

"My Lord the people they.. ." Naruot cut the guard off "i know i need where Raven is" He demanded but the guard shook his head "but that's the thing sir Raven is gone!" He said to the guard surprise.

In the Castle-

Ve,Sanji, and Zoro strolled the castle looking at the occasional frozen maid.

Ve growled "as soon as I get my hands on the asshole who did this I'll '' he was cut off as he saw a flash in the corner of his eyes and he ducked under a bronze dagger that stabbed into a wall.

Zoro drew his swords and Sanji took a stance as a large muscular man with bronze armor and a full beard and red hair stepped out in the shadows of a bronze spear forming at his side.

"Raven" Ve muttered "But why. . ."

Raven shook his head "Ve you are not ready for the knowledge of my reasons. . ."

Sanji and Ve sweatdropped and Zoro yelled with anime shark teeth and white eyes "The hell is that's supposed to mean"

Raven grabbed the still forming spear and said "Death to those who oppose the future pirate king" ge slammed the liquidly spear into ge ground sending a wave of liquid bronze at the trio

"Don't let it touch you" Sanji said as he ran in the opposite way followed by Zoro and Ve with Zoro yelling "Obviously you damn cook"

Outside—

Lufia and Naruto ran back to the Castle in a hurry climbing the castle stairs and as they approached the front door they were knocked over by the running trio causing them all to tumble down the stairs and unite nationally dodging the liquid bronze wave.

"Ugh what the hell guys" Naeuto groaned standing up only to see Raven standing at the top of the stairs liquid spear still at hand glaring down at the group.

"Damn if Raven I'll make you pay for this betrayal* Naruto shouted at Raven as the other four stood and took their respective stance Ve armed with a seastone sword.

"My name is not Raven sir. . .it is Captain Kosoo . . .and now I have the chance to extort a Younko. . " he chuckled, "Me and my crew will be filthy rich" waving his hands he shouted " X. .Z at my sides"

Two large men one wielding a sword landed on each side of the group and Xeet the sword wielder grin with yellow teeth "looks like its a feast of fresh meat ay brother" Zeet simply nodded taking out knuckle dusters.

Tha group stood at a standstill, everyone quiet as a leaf floated to the ground and as soon as it landed Sanji dash to the right and Zoro to the left clashing with Zeet and Xeet respectfully and Luffy,Naruto, and Ve launched at Kosoo.

"Gum Gum: Pistol" Lufia yelled stretching her fist back launching it at Kosoo who formed a shield savin him hut denting it allowing Ve with a follow up slash to cut through it leaving him open for Naruto to kick him launching into the wall.

Kosoo stood up and glared at Lufia "another devil fruit user eh" Lufia nodded with a grin "Yep ate the Gum Gum fruit im a rubber human" she then glared "and i'm gonna use it to kick your ass"

Kosoo laughed and pointed at her with his spear "with my Metal Metal: Model Bronze im untouchable" he goaded then his spear launched a wave of gunk at the trio and while Lufia and Naruto was able to dodge unfortunately Ve was not and was turned into a bronze statue like the others.

"VEEEE!" Naruto screamed out for his fallen comrade while Lufia gritted her teeth.

Kusoo laughed "When your touched by my Endless Bronze Spear you will turn into a statue no matter how strong you are unlike my Heaven Bronze Wave"

"Damn you Kusooo" Naruto yelled while running up to the pirate and Kusoo responded by swinging his spear at Naruto who ducked abd launched a kick at Kusoo spleen who hunched over just to catch a dual punch from Lufia

"Gum Gum:Bazooka"Lufia yelled as it launched Kusoo through the wall.

"Did we get him" Naruto said only for a giant wave of liquid bronze to approach the two and Lufia quickly jumped in front of Naruto and inflated with her

Gum Gum Balloon

And she blocked the attack; she also launched Naduto back before turning into a large bronze statue.

Naruto landed with a thud as he looked up to see the petrified rubber girl. "LufiAAAAA* Naruto yelled only to be cut off by a bronze spear impaling his shoulder.

Kusoo hobbled out of the rubble holding the elongated spear grinning madly as Naruto was slowly turned into bronze.

"Face it my liege you're useless.Spending your days wanting peace. . .it's pathetic your mother would be disappointed" he laughed as he twisted his spear causing Naruto great pain.

Naruto fumbled with his pocket and pulled out the box with the devil fruit which Kusoo noticed.

"Oh i see you got a devil fruit eh well go ahead nothing can stand up to the power of the Metal Metal:Model Bronze.

Naruto smirked and responded "Gladly" and bit down and he had to admit the taste was horrible.

suddenly Naruto exploded in a column of flames so bright Kusoo had to cover his eyes and when it died down and Kusoo uncovered his eyes he was shocked still.

There stood Naruto but he was glowing red with heat as the bronze covering his body melted away and his shirt was reduced to ashes.

"This is the power of the strongest Kusoo. . .the power of the Bird Bird:Model Yahron" He said as wings of flames exploded from his back.

Well Well Well Welcome back to the Void is your host of mediocrity VortexBeater and he is the first chapter of The Jungle Dragon of the Strawhats.

New Fruits used in the chapters:

Gomu Gomu no Mi(Gum Gum Fruit):A Paramecia that turns the user into a rubber human and gives the user body the property of stretchy rubber allowing their body to stretch and contort to their will and go ving the user immunity to blunt force damage. . .[Information redacted by Marine Fleet Admiral]. . . There seems to be more to this fruit than meets the eye.

Metal Metal:Model Bronze: A Paramecia that turns the user into Bronze Metal Human allowing the user to control bronze metal in any form as well as anyone other than the user touches metal they will be coated with bronze metal petrifying them.

Bird Bird no mi: Model Yahron the Jungle Dragon: A Mythical Zoan that transform the user into the mythical Phoenix Yahron a phoenix so powerful it is mistaken to be a dragon.With no previous users the abilities are unknown but it seems the user can raise their body temperature at will. . .but to what limit.
