(Play We Are from One Piece)
Luffy smiled wildly as he ran across the grassy mountain top, suddenly a black blur zipped past him revealing a grinning Naruto, Luffy's smile grew as he sped up running alongside his friend as they jumped off the cliff holding out their hands as the deep blue sea stood over them. As if sensing an adventure, Zorro, Nami, Ussop, and Sanji turned towards the direction of the east.
Arittake no yume wo kakiatsume
Sagashimono wo sagashi ni yuku no sa
One Piece
Luffy jumped into the air rearing back his fist, his hand gripped the the crows nest of of the main sail of the Going Merry as he pulled himself towards the ship with a massive grin on his face. Naruto teleported across the ocean kicking up ward as he ran towards the Going Merry jumping into the air with a wide toothy grin.
The title shoots forward in front of a massive map.
Rashinban nante juutai no moto
Netsu ni ukasare kaji wo toru no sa
The Going Merry sails through the every wide and expanding east blew, Sea Kings, massive fish, and various other sea creatures shoot up from the water creating large creating massive waves splashes the shook the ship. The Straw Hat crew looked on with amazement as Luffy hung from upside down from the deck of the ship.
The ship swam across the map jumping, and splashing along the way .
HOKORI kabutteta takara no chizu mo
Tashikameta no nara densetsu ja nai!
Naruto drew his katana running across the ship slashing with jet black strikes, he jumped into the air switching his weapon to a kusanagi swinging it downwards.
Zorro was surrounded on all sides by enemy pirates and with one swing of his swords blew them all away. Ussop took aim with his sling shot firing his an egg hitting one man in the face before Nami struck him in the back of the head with an iron pipe smirking. Sanji did a handstand kicking around his feet knocking away the other enemy pirates.
Kojinteki na arashi wa dareka no
A red eyed sea king rushed through the water opening it's jaws but Luffy simply grinned rearing his fist back and smashing it hard into the Sea Kings right cheek knocking it out cold. Naruto and Luffy land back to back on the ship's deck looking at each other as they grin before looking up at the horizon.
BAIORIZUMU nokkatte
Omoisugoseba ii!
Above them were the images of Alvida, Buggy, Kuro, Kreig, Smoker, and a cloaked man above them were the silhouettes of seven unknown figures dressed in long cloakes with glowing red eyes, and above them were four large figures. One looked down at Naruto grinning at it reached downard at him causing Naruto to roar jumping into the air swinging at punch at them.
Arittake no yume wo kakiatsume
Sagashimono wo sagashi ni yuku no sa
Luffy spun his straw hat around on his finger tips while Naruto looked at the Uzumaki clan tattoo on his shoulder. As they did Shanks appeared in a world of pure light with the straw hat on his head giving a grin as Uta jumped into the air with her arms raised and a smile on her face before turning away as they other red haired pirates Ben, Yassop, and Lucky, Minato appeared next with his arm around Kushina's waist both smiling as he followed behind the Red Haired pirates.
POKETTO no KOIN, soreto
You wanna be my Friend?
The two friends and their crew smiled as they stood off gazing at the ocean and boundless adventures that surely awaited them.
We are, We are on the cruise! WE ARE!
(With the Straw Hat crew)
Usopp led the crew to a restaurant in the village and after leading them to a booth and getting them some food, they explained why they were there.
"So you're looking for crewmates and for a bigger ship, eh?" Usopp said as he rubbed his chin
"Yep, we sure are," Luffy said, as he ate a large piece of meat.
"Well, you're in luck. This place is known for making ships. Heck, I'm friends with the one who owns the shipyard. As for a crewmate, I'll be happy to join ya, if you'll make me the capitan" Usopp said with a wide grin.
"Denied" Naruto, Zoro and Luffy said together, with Kurama nodding in agreement.
"Yea, Luffy's the captain" Nami said, as she shook her head at this.
"Aw man, that's one of the best ways to go out to sea and go on adventures. I always wanted to do that, just like my dad; a brave warrior of the sea" Usopp said with a smile on his face.
Luffy smiled at this, as he liked that Usopp had a dream of his own.
"So you say your friend is the owner of the shipyard in this town. Do you think she can help us with getting a ship?" Zoro asked, as he finished his booze.
"You believe him?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Kurama to snicker.
"Oi! I do know her! ...I just need time to bring it up to her first" Usopp yelled out, annoyed at this, before he looked to the side sheepishly.
"Uh huh, yeah whatever you say" Naruto said with a look on his face, that said he didn't believe this.
Usopp growled in annoyance at this, not liking this at all. But paused as he looked at a clock hanging on a wall nearby. "Ah! I'm late!" he yelled as he got up to leave.
"Are you leaving?" Nami asked curiously.
"Yea, I have an appointment. Feel free to put this on your tab, and we can meet up later!" Ussop yelled, as he ran out the door.
"Well, we could do worse for a sniper, and he seems nice enough," Naruto said with a shrug, as he ate some of his food.
"Uh huh. He even carries himself like Yasopp did" Luffy said with a smile, as he took another bite of his meat.
"The Usopp Pirates have arrived!" shouted three kids, as they burst into the restaurant, each holding what looked like small wooden swords.
One of them had dark hair, while wearing a green pepper shaped hat and a green shirt with a pirate's Jolly Roger on it, along with blue pants, a light green sash and brown shoes.
The second had straight brown hair with a tuft sticking up at the top, which made his head reminiscent of an onion in appearance, and tiny eyes, which he was wearing square glasses over. He wore a yellow shirt with a blue vest jacket over it, black shorts and yellow shoes.
The last kid had short spiky purple hair that covered his eyes, a red hat with a frill at the top and the Usopp Pirates Jolly Roger on the front, and a face that ended in a pointed chin; these three features make his head resemble a carrot. He wore a black sweater, with a reddish-brown sash, light orange pants, and dark brown shoes.
The owner looked up from his newspaper, before going back to reading it, as he turned a page.
"Who the heck are these kids?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, as he looked at the door, while Luffy drank from his mug.
The three kids looked at the group, and started to sweat slightly.
"Captain Usopp isn't here" the one with purple hair said nervously.
"You don't think they…." the brown haired kid said, as he shook in fear.
The other one ran over to the table, and gave them the hardest look he could. "Listen up, you filthy pirates! What did you do with our beloved capitan? Tell us right now" he yelled at them.
"Yeah, tell us now" as the other two yelled, as they joined him.
Luffy put his mug down with a grin, as he gave a sigh. "Oh man, that meat was delicious," he said, while rubbing his stomach with Kurama barking in agreement, while licking his lips.
This made the three kids look terrified at this.
"M-meat?!" the purple haired one stuttered out.
"Oh man, these pirates are cannibals," the brown haired one said.
Nami smiled slightly at this, before she giggled.
"W-what did you do with our capitan, y-you savages?" the one with the green pepper shaped hat said in a panic.
Zoro decided to have some fun with them, and gave them a scary look. "If you're looking for your capitan….we already ate him" he said with a vicious grin.
The kids shivered in fear and terror at this, before they looked at Nami, who was still smiling at them. "AAAAHHHH!! CANNIBALS!!" they yelled out, with their eyes poking out.
"What're you little punks looking at me for?!" Nami yelled at them with shark-like teeth.
"Quick, you kids better run. You don't want to see what she does to people who piss her off - mmpph!" Naruto was saying, before Nami grabbed his ear and slammed him on the table.
One explanation later, and the three kids, who were named Carrot, Onion and Pepper were calmed down, the crew had explained where Usopp went.
"Oh, the captain must have gone to visit Miss Kaya!" Carrot said with a smile at this, along with Pepper and Onion.
"Who's that?" Nami asked, as she let Naruto up, who was rubbing his head.
"She's the richest girl in town, and she owns the shipyard, where most of the town works," Onion said, as he smiled.
"Huh, so he wasn't lying when he said he knew her," Zoro said, as he opened a fresh bottle of booze and drank from it.
"Nice job whiskers," Nami said as she glared at Naruto.
"What?" Naruto asked loudly with an exaggerated tone, as he held the ear Nami had grabbed before.
This got laughs from Luffy and the kids, while Nami's eyebrow twitched at this.
"So Usopp visits this Kaya?" Luffy asked curiously.
"Yup. He visits her everyday and lies!" Pepper said, as he nodded with a grin.
"That's not a very good thing for him to do," Nami said with a frown.
"No, no, he's telling her lies to cheer her up!" Onion said, as he shook his head at this.
Naruto blinked at this, before he thought about this and then nodded. "Ah, I get it. He's telling her stories, right?" he asked
"That's right! He tells her stories, so she cheers up and feels better" Onion said with a smile.
"Feels better? Why, what's wrong with her?" Luffy asked curiously.
"Miss Kaya has been sick for the past year, since her parents died and the captain's stories are the only things that's been cheering her up" Carrot explained.
"Yea. The captain saw that she was sad all the time, so he sneaks in to visit her and cheers her up!" Onion said with a nod.
Luffy and Naruto smiled at this, while Kurama slightly smirked in approval.
"Do you kids happen to know where we can find Miss Kaya? I have a question for her and your captain" Luffy said, as he stood up from the table.
"Well, if you are friends with the captain, then I guess we can show you," Carrot said as he, Pepper and Onion nodded together.
Luffy and the others then followed the three boys out of the restaurant.
(Later)
The three boys led the crew to the front gates, which led to some grounds and a mansion.
"Wow, it's an actual mansion," Nami said, as she held her hands together and smiled.
"Hands in pockets, thief" Naruto grumbled under his breath.
Before Nami stomped on his foot hard.
Naruto's face contorted at this, before he grabbed his foot and glared at the redhead, as he hopped on one foot.
"Any ideas for how to get past the gates?" Zoro asked, as he looked at the gates curiously.
"I'm on it" Luffy said with a smile, as he easily grabbed the top of the gates and climbed over it, thanks to his rubber powers.
"AAHH, HIS ARMS STRETCHED TO THE TOP OF THE GATES!" Onion yelled in terror.
"Try and be quiet kids, we're sneaking in," Naruto said, as he teleported onto the other side of the gates with Kurama on his shoulder.
"AND HE JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED ON THE OTHER SIDE!" Pepper yelled.
"Hey, get us in too" Nami called out to Naruto, as he followed after Luffy.
"Sorry, but I don't speak howler monkey," Naruto said with a snicker, as he followed after Luffy.
"What'd you call me?!?!" Nami screamed out her teeth becoming fangs from her rage
Zoro snorted in laughter at this, not bothered at the fact that Naruto left him here, seeing as this was pretty funny.
(With Usopp)
With Usopp, he was sitting in a treetop that was across from an open window, where a young teen girl was leaning against the window sill. She had light blonde hair that was braided on either side of her head and she wore a white dress. This was Kaya.
"And that's when I realized the island was just the giant goldfish's poop!" Usopp said with a smile, as he held out his arms for emphasis, while Kaya laughed at his story.
"Well, well, aren't you a sweet talker?" Naruto called out, getting their attention and surprising Usopp, causing him to fall out of the tree branch he was sitting in, and fall onto the ground, where Luffy and Naruto were waiting for him, with Kurama at Naruto's feet.
"Oh? Are these friends of yours, Usopp?" Kaya asked, as she looked down at them with a curious look.
"Uh….yes, of course they are! These are the newest recruits to my crew!" Usopp yelled with a smile on his face, as he got up and put his arms around Luffy and Naruto.
Luffy didn't react to this as he picked his nose, while Naruto had a flat look on his face at this, as Kurama blew a raspberry at Usopp at this.
"Oi! That's disgusting!" Usopp yelled at the fox, as he wiped his face
"We're not his crew, but we are new friends. Well….mostly" Naruto said with a chuckle, as he patted Kurama's head to stop him from messing with Usopp.
"Yea, and we wanted to ask you for a favor" Luffy said with a smile, as he looked at Kaya.
"Oh? What kind of favor?" Kaya asked curiously, looking at Luffy.
"You see, we're in need of a ship…." Naruto was saying, before being cut off.
"What is going on here? Who are all of you?" a voice called out getting their attention, as they all looked at someone walking towards them.
The person was a male who was wearing a butler's suit and glasses over their eyes, which they adjusted with the palm of their hand.
Usopp quickly hid behind a tree, while Luffy and Naruto just looked at the man, as Kurama growled at him from Naruto's feet.
"Oh, Klahadore!" Kaya said, surprised at seeing the man and frowning at him.
"What are you all doing here? State your business, at once" Klahadore said firmly, as he adjusted his glasses again.
"Relax, we're just here to ask Kaya for a favor. We're friends of Usopp's" Luffy said with a smile.
"Why would I care if you are friends with Usopp?" Klahadore asked with a sneer.
"Well, she's friends with Usopp, from what we see," Naruto said with a firm tone, as he wasn't liking this butler's attitude.
Klahadore raised an eyebrow at this, before he looked to the side and saw Usopp trying to sneak his way out of the grounds. "Ah, so the reports I have heard of you sneaking onto the grounds are true then" he said.
Usopp chuckled nervously at this, before he put on a brave tone. "I see you have heard about my greatness" he said with a proud tone.
Klahadore chuckled dryly at this. "Oh, I have heard of you, alright. The spawn of a pirate, who abandoned you and your sick mother, and you claiming that pirates are coming every day since she died in a pathetic delusion, hoping that your pathetic father will come back" he said with a condescending tone.
Usopp froze at this, while Luffy and Naruto scowled at this, as Kurama started to growl again, baring his fangs at Klahadore.
"Klahadore! Apologize to Usopp!" Kaya yelled out.
"Why should I? I'm only speaking the truth. Besides, he's probably only trying to manipulate you to get your fortune -" Klahadore was saying as he turned to look at Kaya, before….
"Shut up!!!!" Usopp yelled out, as he suddenly slugged the butter in the face, sending him to the ground.
This surprised everyone, as Usopp stood over the downed butter, with a look of anger on his face.
"You can say what you want about me, but don't say anything about my father. He's a brave warrior of the sea, and I am proud to be his son!" Usopp yelled out.
Klahadore got up and wiped his mouth, before he looked at Usopp. "A brave warrior of the sea? What nonsense. All of you are to leave, immediately! You are not welcome here" he said, as he looked at all of them.
"Fine! I'm never coming back here again!" Usopp yelled, as he walked away towards the gates.
"Hey, wait for me!" Luffy yelled, as he ran after Usopp.
Naruto went to follow after them, but paused as he glared at Klahadore a bit, while Kurama growled at him before he followed the two.
Klahadore said nothing to this, as he watched them leave, while adjusting his glasses.
(Sometime later)
Later, Naruto was sitting next to the road, with Nami and Zoro as Carrot, Onion and Pepper sat nearby, after he had explained what happened at the mansion.
"That jerk!" the three kids yelled out together in annoyance, after Naruto had explained what had happened.
"So what's the plan now?" Zoro asked curiously, as he sat against a tree.
"Well, Luffy is talking with Usopp for now. But after that, I guess we could try and find a way to pay for a ship at the shipyard" Naruto said, as he looked at Nami.
"You're not using my money, blonde! Not when I'm so close to -" Nami yelled at him, before she stopped herself from saying anymore
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. But before he could say something, Kurama who was sitting on his head, poked him with his tail getting his attention and when he looked at him, Kurama pointed up the road.
Naruto looked up the road and saw what looked like a man walking backwards, who was holding his hat down over his face, while wearing flamboyant clothes.
"What's this guy's deal?" Zoro asked, as he looked at the man.
"Greetings, travelers. I am a street performer, you may call me Jango" the man said, as he looked at them, showing he was wearing heart shaped glasses.
"Oh really? What's your gimmick?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I am a hypnotist," Jango said with a proud smile.
"Whoa, really?" Onion asked curiously.
"Show us!" Carrot yelled excitedly.
"Yea old man, show us!" Pepper yelled as he gave a nod.
"Very well. I have a bit of time before I have a meeting to get to" Jango said as he smiled at this, before he took out what looked like a chakram hanging from a string which he hung out in front of the three boys, and started to sway it in front of them. "When I say one, two, Jango you will all fall asleep. One, two, Jango!" he yelled.
This caused the three boys to fall asleep, but it also resulted in Jango to fall asleep too.
"Well, that happened," Zoro said with a bewildered look on his face, as a sweatshop appeared on his forehead.
"Eh, I have seen weirder," Naruto said with a shrug as he stood up.
"And where are you going?" Nami asked curiously.
"I'm gonna go see Luffy. Maybe try and think of an idea for what we do next, seeing as you're not being a team player" Naruto said as he walked off, with Kurama blowing a raspberry at her, while he sat on his head.
Nami said nothing to this but she frowned slightly, as while she didn't want to use her own money to help, she did help and expected some respect from the blonde
"Well, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when something happens" Zoro said, as he crossed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes.
Nami twitched an eyebrow at this, before she gave a sigh and sat down next to the fence.
(With Naruto)
Naruto was walking through the forest, trying to find Luffy.
Kurama sniffed the air for a moment, trying to find Luffy's scent, before he barked and pointed in a direction with his tail.
Naruto looked in said direction, and saw some sandal prints in the ground, that he easily recognized as Luffy's. "Thanks buddy" he said with a smile, as he ran in the direction they were going.
He soon found himself on the edge of a cliffside, and after a few moments of looking around, he spotted Luffy and Usopp talking nearby, under a tree which was overlooking the cliffside.
Naruto smiled at this, before he teleported and reappeared in front of them. "Hi guys" he said with a wave.
"Gah!" Usopp yelled, as he fell over and landed on his back from surprise.
"Are you two doing ok?" Naruto asked Luffy, while Kurama jumped onto Usopp and sniffed him curiously, while he was still laying on his back.
"Yea, we're fine. We're just chatting. I was just telling Ussop about his dad, and how we talked to him all the time, when he and his crew were based in Windmill Village" Luffy said, as he smiled.
"Oh, yea. He wouldn't stop talking about you, when he wasn't showing off his marksman skills. Are you any good?" Naruto said with a smile at Usopp, as he sat up, causing Kurama to fall off him.
"I'll have you know, that I'm the best shot around" Usopp said with a proud smile.
"Oh? Is that so? OK then" Naruto said, as he took out a kunai. "I'm gonna toss this in the air, and you take shots at it. Let's see how many times you can hit it, before it lands" he said with a challenging grin, as he spun it on his finger.
"You're on! If I get, say 10 hits, you'll have to tell the village that you're my crew" Usopp said with a smile, as he took out his slingshot.
"That sounds good. And if you lose, hmmmmm…." Luffy said, before he thought to himself and smiled.
Naruto chuckled at this, as he had an idea what he would ask Usopp for if he lost.
"What? What happens if I lose?" Usopp asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Let's just see if you lose first. Ya ready?" Naruto asked with a grin, as he readied to toss the kunai in the air.
"You bet! So prepare to lose!" Usopp yelled as he took aim.
Naruto tossed the kunai in the air, and as it flew, Usopp fired his slingshot at the kunai nailing it, before he quickly reloaded and fired again. He kept repeating this, until he reached the tenth time. But when he fired, the kunai just dropped and landed in the dirt.
"Dang it! I choked right at the end!" Usopp said with a pout, as he put his slingshot away.
"Aw jeez, I thought you had this," Luffy said with a pout of his own, while Naruto picked up the kunai and inspected it.
"Uh, guys? Usopp's last shot went through the handle" Naruto said, as he held up the kunai and showed that the hole in the handle was scratched slightly.
Usopp looked surprised at this, before he smiled brightly.
"Um, does that even count, though?" Luffy asked, as he tilted his head to the side.
"Hmmm, I'm not sure" Naruto said with a coy smile at Usopp, while Kurama snickered at this.
"Oh, come on! You're gonna use a technicality?!" Usopp asked, surprised at such a dirty trick.
"Pirate" Naruto and Luffy said together, both smiling happily.
Usopp face planted at this, making Kurama walk over to him and sniff him curiously.
Naruto chuckled at this, before he noticed something down on the beach below. "Hey, that butler guy is here," he said.
"Huh?" Luffy said, as he looked down at the beach and saw that Klahadore was indeed down on the beach, waiting for someone. "Oh yeah, that's um….Klamanore" he said.
Naruto groaned at this and pinched his nose at this, while Kurama had a flat look on his face.
Usopp looked up and looked over the cliffside. "Huh, I wonder what that guys doing here" he grumbled to himself, as he laid on the ground.
"It looks to me like he's waiting for someone, and it looks like he's here" Naruto whispered, as he got down on one knee and pointed out Jango, who was moonwalking over to Klahadore.
"Hey, get down!" Usopp whispered to Luffy, as he grabbed Luffy and pulled him down, so he wouldn't be seen.
"Your late Jango," Klahadore said with a firm tone, as the man approached him.
"Forgive me, Captain Kuro. I got held up a bit" Jango said with a nod, as he sat down on a rock.
"Don't call me that here, you idiot! Remember, Captain Kuro is dead" Klahadore said, as he adjusted his glasses and glared at Jango, making the man freeze in fear.
"Kuro?" Naruto whispered, as his eyes widened slightly.
"Who's that?" Usopp asked curiously.
"Years back, he was a wanted pirate in the East Blue, until he was captured and executed. But apparently, those reports were wrong" Naruto whispered, as he narrowed his eyes.
"S-so he's a real pirate?" Usopp asked, as he started to shake in fear, as he remembered how he actually slugged him earlier.
"So you know the plan?" the now revealed Kuro asked Jango.
"Yes sir. I have the crew attack the town tomorrow morning as a diversion, while I use my hypnosis to have the girl you have been serving for the past few years leave everything to you in her will, before she has an accident" Jango said, as he made air quotes.
"Very good. This will be the culmination of my eight year plan. I can finally have a life of peace and comfort. But for that, Miss Kaya must unfortunately die" Kuro said, as he adjusted his glasses again and smiled cruelly at this.
This caused Luffy, Usopp, Naruto and Kurama to react in various ways from this; from scowling to shaking in fear.
"H-he's gonna attack the village and kill Kaya!" Usopp stuttered out in a panic.
"Oh, relax. They don't know we know, so we can make a plan to -" Naruto was whispering with a grin, before he was cut off.
"Oi! You leave Kaya and the village alone!" Luffy shouted loudly as he stood up, glaring down at them.
"...unless, of course, that happens" Naruto said with a groan, as he slapped his forehead and dragged his hand down his face.
"What? Who's that?" Jango asked in shock, as he looked up at them.
"Well, well, it would seem that we have some evesdroppers. Tell me, did you hear anything, Usopp?" Kuro asked, as he glared up at Usopp.
"N-no. I didn't hear a -" Usopp was saying, before he was cut off.
"We heard everything!" Luffy yelled out loudly, causing Usopp to face plant.
"And with that, we can't walk away," Naruto said with a sigh, while Jango took out his chakram on a string.
"Ok boy, take a look at this. When I say one, two, Jango, you will fall asleep. One, two, Jango!" he yelled out.
Luffy suddenly fell asleep at this, along with Jango.
Luffy then fell forward and fell off the cliff, slamming into the rocks below, with his feet sticking up out of the ground.
"Luffy!" Usopp yelled in a panic at seeing this.
"I see you're still hypnotizing yourself, Jango," Kuro said with a sigh, as he looked at his minion, before he slapped him on the back of his head, waking him up.
"It wasn't me, Mummy! I didn't eat the cookie!" Jango yelled out as he woke up.
"Deal with the blonde before he flees, you fool!" Kuro yelled at him.
"O-of course sir!" Jango said as he quickly stood up, and threw his chakram at Naruto. And just as it was about to hit him, Naruto was gone in a poof of smoke.
"Huh? Where did he go?" Jango asked, as he looked around, surprised at this.
"He must have ran off, after seeing his friend fall to his death" Kuro said with a smirk, before he looked up at Usopp, who looked panicked before he ran off.
"What about that one captain?" Jango asked curiously.
"He's of no consequence, since nobody will believe him. The plan will go forward as scheduled" Kuro said, as he turned around and walked away, adjusting his glasses as he did.
"Right at the break of dawn, as agreed" Jango said as he nodded at this, before he turned around and left, using the opposite path.
After both of them left, Naruto appeared on the shore with Kurama sitting on his head.
"Well, that was easy," he said as he approached where Luffy had landed, and soon he found him among the rocks, fast asleep.
"Of course he's asleep," Naruto said with a sigh, at the fact that his captain was still asleep even after his fall.
Kurama jumped off his head and landed on Luffy's face, and quickly took a swipe at his face with his claws.
"Gah! That hurts!!!!" Luffy yelled out in pain, as he shot up from the ground, causing Kurama to run over to Naruto and climb onto his shoulder.
"You will live," Naruto said nonchalantly, as he shook his head at this.
"Huh? Hey, where the butter and the hat guy go?" Luffy asked, as he looked around quickly, forgetting about Kurama attacking him.
"They already left, while you were taking a nap," Naruto said with a shrug.
"Wait, I fell asleep?" Luffy asked, as he got up and dusted himself off.
"The hat guy is a hypnotist, and it actually works apparently," Naruto said.
"Hey! Are you guys ok?" Nami yelled out, getting their attention.
Naruto looked down the shore and saw Nami, Zoro and Usopp approaching them, with Usopp bleeding slightly on his arm, and what looked like a bruise on his cheek. "Yea, we're fine," he said with a nod.
Usopp blinked in surprise at seeing both Luffy and Naruto. "How are you both still alive! He fell to his death and you disappeared into nothing!" he yelled out, as he pointed at both of them.
"A fall like that won't kill me. I'm made of rubber" Luffy said, as he adjusted his hat.
"And I just teleported away, making it look like I ran," Naruto said with a shrug.
"Rubber? Teleport?" Usopp asked, surprised at this, his eyes bugging out slightly at this information.
"We will explain later. What was all this he was yelling about the butter planning a pirate attack?" Zoro asked Luffy.
"Yea. It sounded like another lie of his, but we wanted to make sure with you two first" Nami said to Naruto.
"Aw, so you do care - ow!" Naruto was saying, before Nami grabbed his cheek and pulled on it.
"Don't test me, whiskers. Now talk" Nami said with an annoyed look on her face, as she twisted his cheek, before she let go.
One explanation later and it was now night time, and everyone was now done listening to Naruto, Luffy and Usopp's explanation, on what they found out.
"So pirates are actually gonna attack tomorrow morning," Zoro said with a firm tone.
"Yea. I think that hypnotist called the butler Kuno or something" Luffy said, as he picked his nose.
"Kuro," Naruto said, correcting the rubber man.
"Yeah, that's what I said" Luffy said with a nod, as he flicked his booger away.
"Kuro? I think I've heard of him. They said he could take out entire crew's on his own" Zoro said with a firm look on his face.
"Is he a Devil Fruit user?" Nami asked with wide eyes.
"No idea, but I doubt it. If he had, then he wouldn't have faked his death so easily, seeing as there can't be two of the same Devil Fruit users at a time" Naruto said, as he shook his head at this.
"Right. And if he had one, then the Navy would have bragged about catching a Devil Fruit user as a show of strength" Zoro said as he nodded.
"Wait….are you saying that Devil Fruits are real?! I thought they were just stories" Usopp said in shock.
"Nope. Me, Naruto and Kurama all ate one" Luffy said, as he pointed at himself then his two friends, getting a shocked look from Usopp.
"So what's the plan?" Nami asked Naruto, as she sat on a rock.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna try and stop these pirates. The villagers might find me annoying, but I refuse to let the village be attacked" Usopp said with a determined look on his face.
"Well said Usopp" Naruto said with a grin.
"Yea, and we're gonna help ya!" Luffy said with a smile, as he held out his arms.
"R-really?" Usopp asked, surprised at this declaration.
"Of course we don't mind helping you out, right guys?" Naruto asked, looking at Zoro, Nami and Kurama.
Kurama shrugged at this.
"Well, it's not like I'm one to leave a village to be attacked. So fine, I'll help where I can" Nami said with a sigh.
"Well, if you fell we should help then that's what we will do Zoro said with a nod of agreement
Usopp smiled at this, as some tears appeared in his eyes, before he wiped them away. "T-thanks," he said. "So, what can each of you do?"
"I'm good at stretching and punching," Luffy said, punching his fists together.
"I'm great at cutting," Zoro said with a grin.
"I can teleport and Kurama is good at support," Naruto said with a smile as Kurama barked.
"I'm an excellent thief, and I'm not bad with my staff" Nami said with a grin of her own, as she twirled her staff about.
"I run away and hide" Ussop said with a serious tone.
"Oi! You're helping too!" they all yelled out with shark teeth, as Kurama bit Usopp on the ankle, making him yell in pain.
(An hour later)
The group were sitting and looking at a makeshift map in the sand that Naruto had made of the island.
"Ok, after getting a quick look around the place thanks to my teleporting, I saw that there are two beaches on this island, not including the docks in town for the shipyard" Naruto said, as he pointed out both shores.
"Any idea which one they are gonna use?" Nami asked curiously.
"Well, I'm assuming since they met here, they'll use this one," Usopp said with a shrug.
"That's no guarantee. So I'm thinking that we split up our forces" Naruto said, as he looked at the group.
"Okay, that sounds like a good plan," Nami said with a nod. "So, who goes where and with who?"
"I think that we should have a mix of close range and support," Zoro said, as he placed his arm on his swords.
"Me and Kurama will take the shore, where our ship is," Naruto said, as he pointed at the map.
"I'll go with you, to protect my money" Nami said with a hard tone.
"Wait, you left money on the ship? Shouldn't you at least have hidden it somewhere?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow at this.
"Cause I have you guys to help protect it. Now follow me" Nami said firmly, as she stood up and started walking away.
"I want a cut of some of your money for this" Naruto grumbled under his breath, as he followed her, with Kurama sitting on his head.
"Zoro, you come with us. Luffy, you and Usopp stay here. If you hear fighting, but don't see anything, that means they showed up at our shore" Nami said, as she looked at Luffy and Usopp.
"Got it! This will be the perfect chance to set up an oil slick for these pirates!" Usopp yelled, as he smiled proudly, as Naruto, Nami and Zoro left the area
Only Kurama noticed that Zoro started to walk in the wrong direction, so he barked and pointed at Zoro with his tail, getting Naruto and Nami's attention.
"Oi Zoro, you getting lost?" Naruto called out to his friend, causing him to stop and turn to look at him.
"Oi, I don't get lost! This forest is just confusing!" Zoro yelled, as he turned and followed after them.
And promptly turned again and walked back the way they came.
"Wow, and I thought that Luffy was bad with directions, when he thought north just meant the direction that was most cold" Naruto said as a sweatdrop formed on his head, as he walked after Zoro to try and catch him.
Nami burst out laughing at this, causing Naruto to slightly pause.
"Wow, she has a great laugh" he thought for a moment, before he quickly composed himself and ran after Zoro.
(Sometime later)
Naruto, Nami, Zoro and Kurama were standing on top of a hilltop at the end of a canyon, that was the only way to enter the island proper, without using the other shore or the docks at the shipyard.
Zoro rested his arm on his swords, while Nami had her staff at the ready as Naruto held his kusarigama at the ready, with Kurama sitting at his feet.
The sun was rising as what looked like a large ship with a black cat figurehead approaching the shore.
"Well, it looks like we drew the short straw," Nami said with a sigh, as what looked like a group of pirates started to come out of the ship.
"Remember men! Follow the plan! The town is ours for the taking!" Jango yelled to his crew, as he pointed at the trail upwards.
The crew of pirates all yelled loudly at this, with their weapons raised as they charged up the trail.
"I hope that Luffy and Usopp can hear them," Zoro said, as he took out two of his katanas.
"Don't worry, they will hear this," Naruto said, as he took out what looked like a yellow treat from his pocket.
Kurama's head perked up at this, as he smiled and wagged his tail.
"What breath is this one?" Nami asked, as Naruto tossed the treat to Kurama who caught it.
"Oh, it's lemon flavored, so it's a good one," Naruto said with a smirk, as Kurama ate it.
"Hey, what the heck is this?" one of the pirates yelled, as they all spotted the small blockade of three pirates and a fox.
"We are here to stop you from attacking this village," Naruto said firmly, as he held his kusarigama at the ready.
"So you get one chance to walk away" Zoro said, as he held his katanas at the ready.
"Yeah, before Kurama here decides to make you leave," Nami said with a smile at the kitsune, who was smiling while wagging his tail.
The pirates all looked at Kurama and burst out laughing.
"Oh, and what's he gonna do? Chew us to death" one of them said with a snicker.
"No, I think he's gonna cute us to death," another said with a laugh.
"Naw, he's gonna breathe on you" Naruto said with a grin, as he nodded at Kurama, who was growling at this as he opened his mouth, which was sparking with electricity.
"EH?!?!?!" the Black Cat pirates all yelled in surprise at seeing this, before Kurama blasted them.
BZZZZTTT!!!!
And electrocuted them all with his electricity breath, causing their skeletons to be shown through their skin.
"Yooooow!" the pirates all screamed in pain, as they were all electrocuted.
Seconds later, the group of pirates fell to the ground, with electricity running over them, as they twitched slightly.
"So a lemon treat equals electricity. I think his fruit is the most weird after Luffy's" Nami said with a raised eyebrow, as she looked at Kurama, who was scratching his ear.
"Yea, that's not the weirdest breath he's done, trust me" Naruto said with a chuckle at this.
"Wait, there's one even weirder than that?" Zoro asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"What the heck is this?! You all beat my crew of pirates with a pet!" Jango yelled out in a rage.
Kurama barked at this, clearly annoyed at this.
"Oh, relax bud. You're on a two minute break after each attack, you know that" Naruto said, as he stepped forward along with Zoro.
"Ah, so that's why he is always eating. He's recharging himself" Nami said with a nod of understanding.
"Yep, pretty much" Naruto said with a nod, as he spun his kusarigama.
"You think you can take us on your own, hypnotist?" Zoro asked, as he and Naruto approached Jango.
"Probably not. Sham! Buchi! Get out here!" Jango yelled out, as he looked over his shoulder at his ship.
Suddenly, two figures jumped out of the ship and landed in front of Jango, stopping Naruto and Zoro from going any further.
One of them was quite skinny and had green hair that curled off to one side, with cat ears on his head and black claw-like gloves. This was Sham of the Black Cat pirates.
The other was the exact opposite, as they were very fat. They were a half mask with cat ears, purple claw-like gloves and a cape on their back. This was Buchi of the Black Cat pirates.
"What's the problem, captain?" Sham asked, as he looked at Naruto and Zoro.
"Yea, these guys look tough. Don't tell me you want us to fight them" Buchi said, as he looked at Zoro and Naruto, slightly worried.
Zoro raised an eyebrow at this, while Naruto just scoffed at this.
"Don't try that crap with me. I'm a shinobi, deception is what I'm trained to look for and that was one of the worst displays I have ever seen" Naruto said as he glared at the two pirates.
"They were faking it?" Zoro asked curiously.
Naruto nodded his head at this. "Yea, most likely to catch us off guard" he said.
"Ah, so take them seriously from the get go. Heh, got it" Zoro said, as he took out his third sword and put it in his mouth.
"You take the fat one. I got the one who needs a sandwich" Naruto said with a grin, as he readied his kusarigama.
Buchi and Sham both growled at this, before they charged at them in a rage, their claws ready to slice them to ribbons.
Zoro took a ready stance and glared at Buchi as he approached, before he took a swing at him. "Tiger Trap!" he yelled, as he slashed the giant of a pirate with his swords, sending him to the floor.
Sham meanwhile took a swing at Naruto with his claws, but just as his claws were about to strike him, Naruto disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"What?!" Sham yelled out in surprise, at the sudden disappearance of his enemy.
"Sham, above you!" Jango yelled out, as he pointed above his subordinate.
"Too late!" Naruto yelled, as he wrapped the chain of his kusarigama around Sham and pulled it tight, before he teleported again, this time taking his enemy with him and appeared high above everyone.
"What the hell?!" Sham yelled out, as he looked down at the ground below.
"Happy landings, asshole!" Naruto yelled, as he pulled on his kusarigama and threw Sham down at the ground below, sending him flying and slamming into the ground, making a crater.
"Huh, I always thought that cats landed on their feet," Zoro said with a smirk, as he sheathed his blades.
"Well, that was a good workout. What about you, hypno boy? Are you feeling lucky?" Naruto asked with a smirk, as he appeared next to Zoro.
Jango glared up at them, and before he could respond, he went white as he started shaking.
"Yes Jango, are you feeling lucky?" a voice said from behind Naruto and Zoro, causing them both to turn around and see Kuro glaring at him and the others, as he had just arrived behind Nami and Kurama, while carrying a small bag.
Kurama growled at the butter in a threatening way, as he blocked his way to Nami.
Kuro ignored this, as he continued to glare at Jango and his defeated crew. "Tell me Jango, what is going on here?" he asked, as he adjusted his glasses.
"C-captain, these brats showed up and easily defeated the crew with their pet. And one of them is the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, and somehow the blonde could be one place then another!" Jango yelled out in terror.
Kuro raised an eyebrow at this, as Naruto appeared next to Kurama, his kusarigama at the ready. "That's not speed boy, so I'm gonna assume it's a Devil Fruit ability" he said.
"Leave it to the great captain Kuro to have a brain," Naruto said sarcastically, as he took out what looked like a piece of caramel candy and handed it to Kurama, who soon ate it.
"Oh? Giving your pet a treat before we fight?" Kuro asked with a cocked eyebrow, as he dropped the bag on the ground before kneeling down and opening it.
"Pretty much. I like to make sure he's all set to go, before a fight" Naruto said with a grin as Kurama smirked, knowing what Naruto had in mind, thanks to what he had been given.
"Hey, we're here!" Luffy yelled as he shot out of the forest and propelled himself at Kuro, who simply dodged to the side, causing him to crash into the cliffside, causing it to collapse.
"You two sure took your time getting here! What, did you take the scenic route?" Nami yelled at Usopp, who ran over to them.
"Sorry. Luffy thought that north was what felt most cold" Usopp said, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Heh, told you" Naruto said as he smiled at this, while Kurama snickered at this.
"Jango, you try to deal with the pirate hunter. I'll deal with Usopp and his friends, then we can deal with Miss Kaya and the village" Kuro said, as he stood up and took a stance, showing he was wearing gloves that had what looked like blades on the ends.
"…..wow, talk about over compensating for something" Naruto said with a snicker.
This got a smirk from Zoro, as he turned to look at Jango, while Luffy came out of the rocks unharmed.
"Stop making the enemy mad!" Nami yelled out, while Kuro glared at Naruto"
"Why should I? It's funny. Hey Luffy, can I have the butler, while you and Zoro deal with the hypnotist?" Naruto asked, as he looked at his capitan.
"Eh, that's fine. I want to pay back that guy for making me fall asleep before" Luffy said, as he turned to look at Jango.
"W-wait a minute! Two on one isn't fair!" Jango yelled out, surprised at this turn of events.
"Pirates" Naruto, Luffy and Zoro said in unison, with Kurama barking in agreement.
"You think you can take me on, boy? I am Kuro of the thousand plans. I have outsmarted many navy men across the East Blue. You are just a brat and his pet playing pirate" Kuro said, as he glared at Naruto and Kurama.
"Oh no, I don't think I can take you on….I know that I can. And if anyone is playing at pirate, it's you" Naruto said, as he spun his kusarigama around himself.
"Oh? How do you figure that?" Kuro asked, as he disappeared as if he wasn't even there.
"What?! Can he teleport too?!" Usopp yelled in a panic at seeing this.
"He left dust moving when he moved, so I'm gonna assume it's pure speed" Nami said, as she shook her head.
"Well, you decided to give up on being a pirate and let someone else take the fall, like a coward," Naruto said, as he waited for Kuro to make his move, before he spun around and blocked a swipe from behind from Kuro's blades, before he teleported away.
"Of course I did! It was endless! Day after day of being chased by marines and bounty hunters, all of my fame and all it brought me was trouble!" Kuro yelled out.
"That's why you quit? Wow, you're a pathetic coward! Gahahahahahaha!" Naruto's voice yelled out from the treetops, before he started to laugh loudly.
"Don't you dare mock me!" Kuro yelled out, his veins throbbing from his head.
"Hey, I can't help it! You're just pathetic!" Naruto yelled out as he continued to laugh.
Kuro growled at this as he racked his brain on how to get at this opponent, before he smirked and turned to look at Nami, Usopp and Kurama.
Usopp paled at this, before he started to shake, as he took aim at Kuro with his slingshot.
"You idiot! He's gonna attack us!" Nami yelled out in a panic, as Kuro smiled at them before he disappeared.
But before anything could happen, Kurama jumped into the air above them and shot what looked like a large amount of what looked like light brown sludge.
When it hit the ground in front of Nami and Usopp, it instantly hardened and what looked like a trapped Kuro was shown to be inside the sludge.
"What the hell is this?!" Kuro yelled in anger, as he struggled to get loose from the hardened sludge that was now holding him in place.
"It's a special hard candy, that is as hard as steel," Naruto said as he appeared behind Kuro, with a grin on his face.
"W-what?!" Kuro yelled out in shock.
"My partner Kurama here can use breath attacks, based on what he has eaten last. And as you saw, I gave him some very tough hard candy, perfect for trapping slippery assholes like yourself," Naruto said with a grin.
"Ahahahahah! Nice one!" Luffy yelled as he laughed at this, as he dragged Jango over towards them, who was covered in cuts, bruises and lumps.
"It looks like the great Kuro of the thousand plans got outsmarted by a shinobi and his kitsune," Naruto said with a smirk.
"No! My plans will not fail, you little -" Kuro was yelling, before he was cut off.
"Klahadore!" a female voice yelled out, getting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked and saw that Kaya was here, wearing a coat and looked distressed.
"Kaya! What are you doing here?" Usopp asked, surprised at seeing his friend.
"I found Merry near death's door, and he told me that Klahadore attacked him, and that pirates were gonna attack. So I came to try and stop him" Kaya said, as she looked at Kuro.
"Hmm, so he survived," Kuro said with a scowl.
"And you're done. Luffy, feel free to slug him in the face as hard as you want" Naruto said with a nod at Luffy.
Luffy walked forward with a grin, as he cracked his knuckles. "Gladly" he said, as he raised his fist.
"Come on Kaya, we will explain what happened to you" Nami said, as her and Usopp led her away, while Luffy slugged Kuro in the face, knocking him out while also breaking the candy bindings.
"Kurama, you go keep Kaya company, while we send these morons out to sea" Naruto said to his pet.
Kurama nodded at this, before he ran after the others.
