Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or One Piece.
A/N: The Shinobi poll of if Naruto should get a Devil Fruit or not will be down in 2 days (Feb 18, 2023) so make sure you vote if Naruto should have one or not.
And I'll leave it up for a rotation of stories to let you all see what won, then immediately the next story poll will go up due to two stories being close to being done.
The next couple of chapters will be a little short to give time to think up what Doflamingo could give for the coliseum fight.
And if Naruto gets a fruit wins for any of you to think up any… Same for the prize. But when getting one or both, it'll be longer chapters (7-10k at least) as I'm not a fan of mind manipulation/control powers so I kinda want to get past this arc ASAP.
Also to give time for that as I thought the fight was later, I'll skip updating this story for 2 updates on the others.
Beta: ANUBIS the god king.
Chapter LI.
Last Time.
When Luffy tries to prevent Law from attacking Chopper, Breed manages to attach collars to Luffy and Law as well. Suddenly, a tri-pronged kunai dropped out of Luffy's vest before Naruto appeared and saw Breed. "This has been a pain in the ass!"
Naruto went into his red chakra mode and dashed over to punch Breed through the window and disappear into the sky. A moment later, the collars came off having the animals cheer.
As morning broke, the dugong explain they were still travailing the New World for the time being, thanked the crew, and left with the animals that they saved.
Pura-Pura-Pura!
They turned to see the Den-Den- Mushi ringing. Law answered it before hearing Doflamingo. "It's me. You'll be happy to know… I've resigned."
Now.
Straw Hats.
"I'm gonna die."
Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose as he stared at Kurama in his newest body lying on the deck. The core of the fruit at his side. "You are not!"
"It was like eating shit!"
"Hello? I'm Monkey D. Luffy! I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!"
Naruto turned to see Luffy yelling at Doflamingo. "Hey, Mingo! Are you stupid, old Caesar's boss?! He gave Brownbeard and the children hell! We will give you back Caesar as we promised but if you do that again, I will beat the hell out of you!"
"Straw Hat Luffy," Doflamingo spoke after Luffy finished. "You went away for two years after your brother's rescue. Where were you and what were you doing?"
"I shouldn't tell anyone about it!"
"Joker! Cut the crap!" Law took the microphone to speak to Doflamingo. "We'll hand Caesar over to you as we promised. No more, no less."
"Well, that's for your good. If you try to run away with him, you know what will happen to you guys. Now, can I hear my precious business partner's voice?" Doflamingo asked before Caesar spoke up.
"Joker! I'm sorry! You resigned from the Warlords for me!"
"Did you hear him?" Law spoke up.
"Yeah, he sounded fine."
"Eight hours from now, at the beach on the southeast side of Green Bit, the solitary island north of Dressrosa. We will leave Caesar there at three in the afternoon. Go ahead and pick him up. And this will all be finished."
"That's too bad. I wish I could have a drink with you-"
"Just hang up!" Naruto spoke up as Law hung Doflamingo up.
"Hey, wait! We didn't tell him how many men he can bring!" Sanji said getting their attention.
"'How many men'?"
"That's right. What are we gonna do if he brings his entire crew?!"
"It doesn't matter," Naruto said from his spot. "Anyone he brings I'll double it with clones.
"The handover of Caesar is a part of our plan. It's just to lure them."
"You mean, destroying a SMILE manufacturing factory while it's unguarded is our main purpose?!" Kurama asked sitting up.
"(Hai.) Yes. But we don't know where it is."
Don't worry! Factories are big. You can barely miss them. Once we get there, we'll super find it! I will destroy it with my laser beam!" Franky explained before going into his pose.
"I have intelligence on everything but the factory," Law said before Nami walked over.
"No wonder. It's an important asset for them, isn't it? Maybe, there is a secret to it."
"Law- dono!" Kin'emon said with Momo in his dragon form. "You said you were gonna go to Green Bit earlier! But not Dressrosa?"
"We will dock this ship at Dressrosa. Don't worry."
"Is that so? Arigato! (Thank you!)"
"Law, have you been to that island?" Gina asked crossing her arms.
"I've never been there. It's that teme's (bastard's) kingdom."
"Then, let's figure everything out once we get there!" Luffy laughed, hands behind his head. "It's gonna be an adventure! Can't wait to see Dressrosa! I wanna go to the Wano Kingdom soon, too!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You can't just show up without a plan-!"
"Sanji, I'm hungry!" Luffy yelled out running to the kitchen and ignoring Law. "What do we have for breakfast?"
"Sandwiches."
"Yeah! I want a cotton candy sandwich!"
"I'll just have a cup of tea."
"I'm gonna have cola!"
"A glass of milk for me!" Brook said as the others followed in.
"I think the best breakfast in the world is Sanji-kun's sandwiches!" Nami said before Momo looked up.
"What is a sandwich?"
"I don't like bread!" Law blurted out as the others left him and Caesar.
Inside Kin'emon was explaining why he was on the sea. "I can't tell you why we were being chased. But we set sail for the place called Zou originally."
"Zou?" Law asked eating a rice ball.
"Do you know it?"
"It's another coincidence. After handing over Caesar and destroying the SMILE factory, I was gonna head for Zou."
"Really?!" Kin'emon asked standing.
"(Hai) Yes, my crew is already there."
"I-If so, can we go along with you there?"
"Let's go there and then to the Wano Kingdom!" Luffy raised his fist with a full mouth at that.
"(Oi!) Hey!"
"Arigato! (Thank you!)"
"W-Well..."
"Three samurais including me, and Momonosuke the four of us headed for Zou but our shipwrecked, and two of us samurais and Momonosuke drifted to Dressrosa," Kin'emon explained before Momonosuke spoke.
"But we had been chased by Doflamingo and the others there. And I ran into an unknown ship. There, I met the children who were looking to get treated. And unfortunately, the ship left the port before I knew it and headed for that island."
"I was gonna go after the ship and my fellow samurai Kanjuro tried to cover me but got caught! He let me sail out to the sea! I have to save him! I have to go back!"
Later, Robin was leaning against the window of the crow's nest before speaking up. "I see an island!"
"What is that rocky island?!" Kurama asked cleaning his ear with his pinky.
"We made it! It's Dressrosa!" Luffy yelled out before Usopp spoke up.
"I said you're too loud, Luffy! We're in their territory now!"
They landed by the rocky ground as Franky did his pose. "Boy… This week, I'm… SUPER! I'm gonna find the factory right away and ka-boom!"
"I said you guys are being too loud!"
"We should just go to the town, right?" Gina asked as Law got off the Sunny.
"Listen, don't let your guard down. If we fail to destroy the factory, it'll mess up our whole plan."
"I just had a good idea! Momo!" Luffy jumped onto Momonosuke who was still in his dragon form having him yell out. "Alright, go Momo! To the town without stopping! Fly!"
"You're too heavy! Get off of me! I can't fly and I'm not gonna enter the island! My tou-san (father) told me not to!"
"You can't fly?! What are you talking about?! I saw you flying!" Luffy said looking down at Momonosuke.
"I don't know what you're talking about! I said I can't!"
"I saw him flying!"
"But he doesn't have wings," Gina said as Naruto and Kurama jumped down.
"See? I told you! I don't remember flying! E-Even if I did fly… I-I'll never do such a dreadful thing again! I'm not gonna fly in the sky!"
"Huh? Are you scared of heights?" Luffy asked tilting his head.
"You teme! (bastard!)" Momo then bit Luffy on the head at that.
"Itai! (Ouch!)"
"Don't disrespect me! We, warriors, don't get scared of anything!"
"Ow, ow, ow... You! Stop it, you baka! (fool!)" Luffy punched Momo having them fight.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"Ow, ow, ow…"
"You're unforgivable!"
"What the hell are they doing?" Law asked Naruto who sighed.
"Luffy, he's an eight-year-old..."
"Cut the 'warrior' crap! I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates someday!" Luffy bit as they pulled each other's faces.
"Baka! (Idiot!) I'm gonna become the Shogun of the Wano Kingdom someday! Baka (Fool!)"
"What did you say?! You eel!" Luffy asked as they rolled around.
"You're so arrogant! You monkey!"
"Who did you call 'monkey'?! You're being rude to a monkey!"
"Enough, Momonosuke!" Kin'emon yelled out stopping the fight. He saved us! I'm sorry, Luffy-dono. Please forgive him. Even though he's a child, he's a proud warrior of the Wano Kingdom. Having said that, I can't believe you take an eight-year-old so seriously!"
"I don't like cowards! Idiot!" Luffy said before sticking his tongue out and having Momonosuke mirror.
"I said Enough!"
"OK, how should we change our clothes for a disguise?" Naruto asked walking up to the group.
"Oh yeah! Dress shirts for men! Let it all hang out for women! This is how people dress in Dressrosa. Let me change you all so you can fit in!" Kin'emon said holding up a drawing of a man in a suit and a woman wearing only leaves at her waist.
"Dressrosa is the best!" Sanji yelled out only to get hit by Nami as she did the same to Brook and Kin'emon.
"Stop lying!"
"Oi (Hey.)"
They turned to see Law walking up with a Vivre Card and tore it. "I want you to keep this."
"Is this a Vivre Card?"
"Hai. (Yes.) It'll point toward an island called Zou that I talked about earlier. But if anything happens to us, go straight there!"
"What's that?" Kurama asked Lkaw who put a map f the island down showing Green Bit was North of the island.
"This is a map that my crewmember drew."
"Wow! So terribly drawn!"
"We're here now, on the West coast of Dressrosa," Law said ignoring the comment. "Doflamingo's palace is at the center of Dressrosa. The SMILE manufacturing factory must be somewhere on the island. We don't have much time. The Factory Destroying Team must move quickly."
"My team, the Caesar Handover Team, will go across Dressrosa and cross the very long bridge to the north and get to Green Bit," Law said before Sanji walked away having smelled something.
"Why do we have to go across Dressrosa?" Naruto asked with a shrug. "I could just leave a marker there and then portal you there for lack of a better explanation."
"No, Doflamingo could have guards and he could still get help from the Navy if they see anything out of the ordinary. So if they see you or your… Marker they could sound the alarm."
Law stood with Robin, Gina, and Usopp in front of Caesar.
The Caesar Handover Team.
"Oh no. I have a Fear-of-Dressrosa-itis." Usopp whined while shivering.
"Kanjuro... I hope he's still alive." Kin'emon mused as Momo turned back into his human form.
"And you all, the Sunny's Security Team, should watch out for the enemy's attacks. Don't let them take the ship!" Law said to Momo, Nami, Brook, and Chopper
"Nani?! (What?!) What do you mean by that?!"
"Are they gonna attack us?!" Momo asked before Brook gained a sad look.
"Nani?! (What?!) I thought guarding the ship was the safest!"
"Guys, we're in the enemy's stronghold," Chopper said looking up. "But we're with Sanji so…" Chopper trailed off looking to see Sanji was gone.
The Sunny's Security Team.
"Huh?! Sanji's not here!"
"I mean, Luffy and the others are gone, too!" Usopp said as he turned to see Luffy and the others were gone as well.
"They're the key to this plan! Where did they go?!" Law sighed before Chopper spoke.
"Oi! (Hey!) Who's gonna protect us?!"
In the city, the others with Sanji walked on the road before seeing a human-sized doll chase a dog who had its arm. "Oi! (Hey!) Wait! Give it back!"
"S-Stuffed toys?!"
"Hello!" A marionette soldier said to the group shocking them. "I am a soldier! Oh? Have we met before? Your faces look familiar. Oh, yeah! You were in the paper this morning… Ouch!" He stopped as his strings got tangled. Oh no! The strings got tangled up! Help me!"
Later, the group is now in disguises. Naruto's wearing a dark blue hooded vest with the hood up shadowing the top half of his face and black pants with brown boots.
Kurama's the same but with a red vest.
Zoro's wearing a black suit and a white dress shirt with the top button undone. He also has black sunglasses and a fake white mustache.
Sanji's wearing a black double-breasted suit, with a white shirt with the top button undone. He also has black glasses and a fake white beard and a mustache.
Kin'emon's wearing a black hat, sunglasses, Kimono with a red sash, and a fake white beard and mustache.
Franky's wearing a white dress shirt and black suit jacket, a bowler hat, as well as his typical swim briefs and has his hair in two long pigtails.
Luffy's wearing an open, short-sleeved shirt with a sunflower pattern, standard blue shorts, and a yellow sash. He also has a fake beard.
"Alright! We're in disguise! I'm hungry! Let's go this way!" Luffy said before seeing a sign for a restaurant and dashed away. "Oi! (Hey!) Let's eat here!
Naruto, Kurama, and Zoro stopped as they heard tapping and turned to see a man walk down a staircase beside them.
He is a blind man with both of his eyes closed. He has an X-shaped scar centered on the left side of his forehead that stretches over both eyes. He has short dark hair, a mustache, and a beard. He seems to be very tall. He's wearing a light-purple yukata held up with a dark purple belt, all underneath a purple cloak. He's using a shikomizue as a cane, and geta sandals. He has white bandages wrapped around both of his forearms, with hand guards on both hands.
"Excuse me. I heard there is a gambling house around here. Do you know where it is?" He asked the three as he stopped by them.
"I'm sorry. This is our first visit to this town. But why don't you ask someone in that restaurant to your left?" Naruto said to the man.
"Oh, I see. Arigato (Thank you) for your kindness."
Once inside, Naruto was drinking a beer from a bottle as the others drank soda from glasses before Kin'emon spoke. "What're you doing?! I don't have time to fool around like this! I need to look for Kanjuro as soon as possible!
"Whoa-whoa, relax," Kurama said drinking soda as well. "I know we need to hurry but it's better to get some information rather than just run everywhere."
"Isn't it strange?" Sanji asked taking a drag from his cigarette. "Their king just abdicated from the throne this morning. I thought there would be more confusion."
"He probably told them he plans to get it back," Naruto said from his spot.
"Here's your order. Thank you for waiting...or not!"
They turned to see a monkey marionette bring their order. "Here it comes! I couldn't wait any longer!"
"Dress Shrimp Paella! Rose Squid Ink Pasta! And Fairy Pumpkin Gazpacho!" The toy said dropping plates down for them.
"Everything looks yummy! Let's eat!"
"What's 'Fairy Pumpkin'?" Naruto asked looking up.
"Um, that's... In this country, we still believe in a myth about fairies! Or not!"
"What kind of myth?" Kurama asked dropping his glass.
"Well, people claim to see fairies! Or not!" The toy replied having the group blink.
"Seeing fairies?"
"Yes! Isn't it interesting? For centuries! Even though most of us haven't seen them, they do exist. People call those fairies… 'guardian deities of Dressrosa'! Or not!"
"Ah, uresai! (shut up!)"
"Well, you travelers, please take care of yourselves. Or not!" The toy said before leaving the group to eat.
"Boy… They are stranger than fairies." Sanji commented taking a bite of his food.
"He got it right again! 14 times in a row!
"What's going on? It's a little noisy back there." Franky asked looking back at a group before Naruto spoke.
"It's a roulette game. Some blind man is on a winning streak."
"A blind man?" Luffy asked mouth full
Eventually, a bunch of crooks come out and begin taking advantage of the blind man, telling him lies about the roulette results of the game, stating that the ball has landed on the wrong color. The punks state amongst themselves that with Buffalo absent from the bar, they can cheat as much as they please. The other customers are displeased, commenting on the dishonor done to Doflamingo's name by their actions.
"They're lying."
Naruto said as he walked up. "You won ji-san (Old man)."
"D-Do I win?!" The man asked as Naruto nodded before Kurama appeared behind the men holding knives at their backs.
"Yeah, you win."
"I don't know who you are but thank you for your kindness!"
"Don't mention it. I just said what I saw. I'm happy for you. But, old man, you look so strong..."
"What you're doing is so senseless, you brat! When we say 'It's black,' it's black! He can't see anyway so it doesn't matter!"
Naruto looked up, eyes slitted before Kurama disappeared with the group and reappeared wiping his bloody hands on a rag.
Suddenly everyone started shouting that their things have been stolen. "Oh, my bag is gone!"
"So is my watch!"
"I can't find my wallet!"
"Oh no! My jacket got stolen, too!"
"One of my swords is missing!" Zoro yelled seeing Shusui was missing. "Shusui was here a minute ago!"
"Nani?! (What?!) The national treasure of the Wano Kingdom?!" Kin'emon yelled out at Zoro.
"It was fairies who took your stuff. Fairies are fairies. All you can do is laugh it off and let it go." A drummer toy said getting their attention. Those invisible fairies are the guardian deities of Dressrosa from ancient times. We have to turn a blind eye to whatever they do."
"Well, if fairies did it..."
"We should just forget about it!"
"I can't just let it go!" Zoro yelled out
"He's right! The sword is the national treasure of the Wano Kingdom!"
"That's my sword!" Zoro bit back at Kin'emon.
"It's not yours!"
"I told you! Somebody gave it to me!"
"I'll have to challenge you to a duel at some point and win the Shusui back for the Wano Kingdom!"
"Yeah, I'll accept it and defeat you!" Zoro yelled before seeing Shusui stuck at a window. "You got too greedy, fairy! You can't get away!
"Oi, (Hey,) Zoro! Where are you going?!" Luffy asked before Sanji ran after Zoro who dashed after his sword.
"Matte, matte! (Wait, wait!) We don't have time to let you wander!"
Outside Naruto held a man up against the wall in an alley. "You're working under Doflamingo, aren't you?"
"Hai. (Yeah.) So what?"
"Super that's what we thought!" Franky said as he, Kurama, and Luffy walked over.
"Do you guys think you can mess with the Young Master-sama in Dressrosa and get away with it?"
Naruto held a kunai up to his throat at that. "or you can bleed out here."
"I-I told you! I remember going after a couple of samurai but I don't know how one got captured and where he is now. And I don't know what SMILE is."
"You don't even know a bit about SMILE?" Kurama asked crossing his arms.
"Hai, (Yeah,) and I don't know the factory you're talking about. Who are you, people?!"
"I can't believe this. Even his man doesn't know about it." Naruto sighed before looking back at the man. "Then tell us where people of higher rank are."
"Everyone's too busy today. I don't know where they are. I've been summoned to the Colosseum, too. All the people in this kingdom are heading to the Colosseum today."
"What Colosseum?" Naruto asked the man.
"It's the Corrida Colosseum. If you wanna see high-ranked officials, go there!"
"Why are they going there?" Kurama asked crouching down.
"There will be a very big event today. All the executives of our family should be there."
"The very big event that you're talking about is a super event?" Franky asked the man.
"For whatever reason, Young Master-sama offered an unbelievable prize!"
To Be Continued.
