Chapter 2: The Strongest Flames!

To say Kuroo was concerned was an understatement.The heat radiating off the prince was so intense the ground under and slightly around him was scorching black and much to his worry the bronze metal coated Lufia began melting away.

Naruto wasn't waiting around though as he launched himself at Kusoo and with the flaming wings he easily blitzed Kusoo and slammed a super heated uppercut into Kusoo face launching him into the air and Naruto working on instinct he flew up after Kusoo and grabbed his legs and jetted down to the ground slamming the invading pirate into the ground.

Kusoo coughed up blood as he hit the ground.Naruto was letting up as he rushed the downed pirate but Kusoo tired of being ragdolled summoned a trio of spears to well spear the approaching devil fruit user.

Naruto quickly used his wings to propel himself in the opposite direction avoiding the spear but giving Kusoo time to recover.

"Damn it, I gotten cocky and now he's a serious threat. .but no worries I'm more experienced so if i play it careful i can win" Kusoo thought as Naruto landed across from him.

Kusoo formed a bronze javelin and launched it at Naruto who tried to use his heat to melt the spear but still had to dodge out the way of the semi melted javelin .

"Damn it not hot enough to melt mid air" Naruto thought as he soared up and tried to dive at the malicious captain but a bronze shield helped deflect enough damage despite Naruto melting a hole with his punch but lodging his fist into it getting it stuck.

Kusoo taking quick advantage of his opponent's stuck fist before he melted enough to escape yanked the shield downward, knocking Naruto off balance as Kusoo formed a hammer to slam Naruto in the face, sending him slamming into a wall.

Kusoo summon another wave of liquid into the wall coating and trapping Naruto inside. . For all of 3 seconds before Naruto bursted through wings flaming and heat emitting glaring down at Kusoo.

"Surrender now" Naruto began Kusoo you can't beat me to say nothing of beating us" Kusso eyebrow raised."Two of us?" Kusoo asked only for his question to be answered quickly by a two fist lodging into his chest knocking him into the floor.

And then the arms retracted back to a Monkey D.Lufia liquid bronze trailed down her body and a grin on her face.

"Shishishishi seems you decided that go with my plan Naruto" Lufia smiled

Kusoo and Naruto both blinked and asked "There was a plan?"

Lufia nodded "Of course this was all part of my plan" the strawhat teen nodded to herself as guys sweatdropped.

Kusoo shook it off as he smirked "It seems your right Naruto I can't beat you. . .at least in this form" Naruto and Lufia tensed as seemingly all the liquid bronze used prior by Kusoo seemed to collect around Kusoo surrounding him as he let out a malicious laugh.

"SO SCREW BEING SUBTLE I'LL JUST CRUSH YOU BOTH LIKE THE BUGS YOU ARE" Kusoo yelled as he began to grow into a bronze titan as Naruto blanched and Luffy grin grow wider.

"Oh no" Naruto said

"Oh yes" Lufia said

—With Zoro earlier

Zoro blade clashed with Zeet briefly before they broke apart and Zeet a lanky dark skin man with dreadlocks and yellow-gold sharp teeth carrying a nodachi just grin as Zoro gritted his teeth the injuries from Mihawk sword burning in pain.

"It seems you movement are sluggish however" Zeet and Zero dashed and the two traded blows "Your blade remains sharp" Zeet said launching at Zoro with a overhead strike that Zoro parried at the last min.

"That's because i have something to prove to someone" Zoro growled as he he spun around and stabbed at Zeet rib which was blocked.

Zoro ducked under a retaliation slash from Zeet before jumping back.

"Well if thats the case" Zeet crouched before blurring towards Zoro disappearing using speed and appearing above the green hair swordsman's.

"THEN SHOW ME YOUR RESOLVE PIRATE HUNTER RORONOA ZORO! 16 CROSS SLASH" Zeet yelled bring his blade down in a flurry of slashes creating powerful airwaves which flew down to Zoro who stood which his eyes shadowed memories of Kuina and his defeat at the hands of Mihawk flashing in his eyes before he glared up at Zeet.

"ILL NEVER LOSE AT THE HANDS OF ANOTHER SWORDSMAN AGAIN. . . YOU HEAR THAT KUINA!! Zoro yelled out jumping up blocking or just tanking the slashes from Zeet.

"One Sword Style: Phantasm Strike!" Zoro called out swinging his blade as Zeet put up his blade to block it but much to his suprise Zoro cut right through his blade before landing a devastating slash on Zeet casuing his pass out from the pain as they both fell to the ground.

—-with Sanji around the same time

Sanji flew back from a punch from Xeet crahing to the ground as Xeet a practical wall of muscles calmly strolled towards the cook who stumbled up and rushed Xeet again with a Mutton Shot but Xeet tanked it and retaliating with a heavy gut punch sending Sanji up in the air.

Xeet said nothing before jumping up and grabbing Sanji face before throwing the cook into the castle kitchen.

Sanji landed coughing up blood as Xeet landed next to him glaring down.

"Your attack is weak and your passion weaker. . .and yet you dare stand as a practitioner of Red Leg's style with your passion is as cold as ice" Xeet said as Sanji stood up..

"You talk too much" Sanji said before launching a feint kick which Xeet fell for bring up his arms leaving his chin exposed which Sanji took advantage of retracting his feint and launching a kick to Xeet jaw sending the giant man back landing in the ground.

"If i can't beat you with my passion then I'll compensate with my intelligence" Sanji said walking up to Xeet who stood up and threw a picture in anger that Sanji jumped over and Sanji responded with a heel kick that planted Xeet head into the ground.

"Your not very smart are you" Sanji muttered taking out a cigarette and lighting it up.

Xeet roared jumping at Sanji who stood there before bending back to dodge the punch waiting beofre kicking Xeet in the torso. .HARD

"White Chocolate Panna Cotta" Sanji yelled launching several hard kicks to Xeet chest which sent the pirate high in the sky.

Sanji took a drag of his cigarette before raising his foot "and heres a side of passion fruit" he said befor kicking the falling body of Xeet in the head launching him into a cabinet knocking the giant out cold.

Sanji smirked as Xeet collapsed before hearing a roar from outside.

—-With Naruto and Lufia

To say thing weren't going well is a understatement in Naruto's opinion as he was slammed into the ground by what Lufia dubbed Giga Kusoo.

Said rubberwoman was tossed around by Kusoo who used spikys on his hands to injure her.

"Dammit" Naruto grunted he wasn't strong enough to pierce through Kusso metal body with pure heat and Lufia had strength but not enough to do permanent damage with

Naruto stood igniting himself wings flowing out and body temperature rising.

"Lufia! Ill distract him for a bit stretch your arms out as far as you can. . And tell me when you do" Narito called out to the strawhat captain who nodded and hopped back.

Naruto crouched and flew at Giga Kusoo who tried to swipe Naruto down but he was able to maneuver out the wave and throw a punch sending a wave of superheated air at Kusoo who reeled back at the intense heat.

Naruto didn't let up and charge with a punch to Kusoo while it dented the giant it didn't do much to Kusoo with the punch alone however the heat to of Naruto fist burnt Kusoo face melting half of it.

Kusoo responded back by snatching Naruto out the air crushing him despite the heat.Naruto yelled as he felt his ribs break.

"Naruto!!" Lufia yelled out her arm stretched high above the castle "here it comes" she launched a punch with the force of a bullet train.

Naruto grunted before inhaling the best he could and blowing a wave of hot air towards Giga Kusoo chest and as Lufia fist enter the heated atmosphere it caught fire which Lufia noticed.

"Gomu Gomu no. . .Red Hawk!" Lufia yelled as her burning fist tore right through Giga Kusoo and punching the Kusoo hiding inside knocking the pirate out.

The shell quickly melted and Naruto begin to fall to the ground unconscious due to suffocation but before he hit the ground the blond was caught by Sanji who arrived right the scene.

"Don't think I'll be here to save you again" Sanji grumbled before getting a hug form Lufia "Good job Sanji" she smiled completely ignorant of Sanji who nose bled with hearts coming out of his eyes.

—The next day

Naruto groan sitting up in bed to see his right hand Ve standing with Lufia,Sanji,Zoro,and Usopp.Naruto blinked before sitting and asking about the people.

"They are just fine Naruto-sama the castle however is gonna need some repairs" Ve groan with a smile as he looked at Lufia,Sanji, and Naruto who all looked away with a innocent look.

"We have bigger problems however" Zoro said "Nami ran off with our money and our ship and maps" Naruto frowned.

"So what are you guys doing here" Naruto said "you should be finding your ship and run away crewmate"

Lufia smiled "Yea we should. . .but i want you to join my crew first" Naruto blinked with the others.

"join your crew. . . I mean I can't i have a kingdom to run and i" he was cut off by Ve hand on his shoulder.

"Its okay my lord. . .you can come back. . I can take care of the kingdom you go on that adventure" Ve smiled.

"Im not leaving till you join my crew" Lufia said.Naruto turned to the rest if her crew who all nodded".

"It's best not to fight it. .if Lufia want you to join the crew your joining one way or another" Zoro said as Naruto put his head down.

"Im not getting away am I" the prince said as the others shook their head no.

—Later on

Everyone was gathered on the reserve boat ready to sail after Nami.

Ve handed Naruto a map and said "If whatr you saw was correct the Nami-san would be heading to Conami Island about four hours east of here" Naruto nodded.

The blond was now wearing a orange sleeveless shirt with black baggy pants and sandals and his forearms wrapped up and strapped to his waist was his mother sword Blank which had Zoro comatose in shock for a good min.

(Said swordsmen now wielding two new temporary swords)

"Thank you Ve. . .for everything" Naruto smiled and Ve nodded the two locked forearms in a brotherly manner before separating and Naruto and the others taking off.
