Demon Mirror Naruto
Chapter 2
It has been two days since Naruto joined the Straw Hats. The past days has been quiet eventful for Naruto. He had been sparring with Zoro and Zoro had yet to defeat him, Naruto took very much pleasure in that always beating him into the ground, Sanji was busy glaring daggers at him seeing as he had been getting to spend time with the ladies, Luffy, Ussop and Chopper had been playing with him wanting to show them more tricks. Most of all he had been busy with Robin often talking about things and getting know each other more. Overall he was happy.
That was when they saw something fall from above.
"Is that rain?" blinked Usopp holding out his hands.
"I don't think so," said Sanji looking up.
"Hail?" said Usopp.
"No, it looks like-" All their eyes widened as they looked up to see a giant ship three times the size of the Going Merry falling down towards them. It crashed into the water right behind them creating massive waves. More debris continued to fall as the waves shook the Going Merry violently. "Brace yourselves! Don't let go of the ship!" shouted Zoro.
"What? What is this?" yelled Nami grabbing the mast.
"A dream! It must be a dream!" shouted Usopp.
"A dream! But-" Chopper never finished as he and Usopp crashed their heads into another.
"More keeps falling!" yelled Sanji.
About twenty minutes later, all the debris had stopped falling and they all looked to see the giant ship resting in the water upside turned over topside. Naruto scratched the back of his head, "why is there a ship falling from the sky?"
"It is a mystery," said Sanji through narrowed eyes.
"Damn the Grand Line sure is scary!" shivered Usopp in fear. Chopper nodded in agreement as he too is shaking in fear. "What is wrong Nami-swan?"
Nami frowned, "something is wrong. The Log Pose is broken. It keeps pointing straight up and won't change." What is going on she wondered.
"That isn't it. An island with a stronger magnetic field is causing the Log Pose to change its needle. And since it is pointing up. The Log Pose seems to have been taken by Sky Island," said Robin.
"Sky Island!" they all shouted.
Luffy gained an excited look, "there is a floating island in the sky?"
"But there is nothing in the sky that looks like an island," stated Zoro looking up.
"I wouldn't say that," explained Robin, "to be more precise, there is a floating sea up there."
"That is so cool! We have to go see it!" grinned Naruto.
"Yeah!" yelled Luffy. Naruto and Luffy were silenced by a pair of arms covering their mouths. "I don't know much about Sky Island as I have never been there myself," finished Robin.
"Of course, it is all impossible! There is no way a sea or an island could be floating in the sky," argued Nami. "The Log Pose is broken.
Robin had a hard look in her eyes, "no Miss Navigator. No matter what danger befall you. No matter what panic you should face. One must never doubt the Log Pose. That is the iron-clad rule of the Grand Line. What you should be doubting is your common sense. Wherever that Log Pose points, there is sure to be an island. You must merely find a way to get to it." Nami frowned as she looked down at the Log Pose. Crocus had said the same thing when first telling about how navigation through the Grand Line worked.
Break
Naruto burst out laughing as he looked at Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy. He continued to laugh as tears stream down his eyes. They were wearing barrels as scuba gear as they prepared to go down into the ocean and salvage the large ship that fell out the sky. "Shut up!" yelled Zoro angrily.
"Hahahahaha! Oh no, the talking barrel has spoken. Run!" Naruto burst out laughing some more. Robin and Nami put their hands over there mouths to hide their own laughter. "I am going to kick your ass!" growled Zoro.
"No! Don't do it barrel-san! Spare me!" Luffy started to laugh too. "Why are you laughing? You're wearing this stupid thing too!" yelled Zoro.
"It's funny!" laughed Luffy.
"Ok that is enough," smiled Nami, "it is time for you all to go down there and salvage that ship."
"Hai!" the three said.
"You sure this is safe?" asked Sanji.
"Yep, my designs are perfect," said Usopp confidently. The three nodded before jumping down into the ocean.
Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes, "we should have made them do a dance. Oh can we make them do it when they get back up?" Robin giggled while Nami smirked. That would be extremely funny. Chopper's ears twitched as he heard a sound. He turned and looked to see a ship approaching them in the distance. The rest turned to look as well as the singing and instruments had drawn their attention.
All of them sweat dropped as they looked at the ship that is in the shape of a giant monkey with a pair of cymbals. A whistle blew and the ship came to a stop. "Yosh, is this where the ship sunk?!" yelled a monkey looking man.
"Hai Boss!"
"Then prepare to raise the ship! That sunken ship is now the property of the Boss of the Masira Pirates! The Salvage King, Masira!" shouted the monkey man.
Nami sighed, "why do all the weirdo show up when they are least needed?"
"Hey you! What are you doing here? This is my territory!"
"Territory?"
"Yeah! Any ships that sink in this area are mine. You better not be trying anything funny over there," yelled Masira.
"Excuse me," smiled Nami getting an idea, "can I ask you a question?"
Masira blinked, "oh you want to ask me a question. Very well, you may ask one."
"Are you going to salvage this ship?"
"Hehe, you must think I am monkeyed over!"
"Monkey overed?" blinked Nami confused.
"Yes, it means I am a handsome man. Don't you think so?" smiled Masira.
"Sure!"
"Liar," coughed Naruto. That earned him a punch to the head.
"Oh you're too kind! Yes, I am going to salvage it. If there is a sunk ship then I am the one who will raise it up. And if it is floating then I will sink it then pull it back up!"
"Really? Can we watch?" smiled Nami with fake stars in her eyes.
Masira smirked proudly, "you want to watch? Very well, sit back and watch. There is no ship that my crew can't salvage."
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "I really want to destroy that monkey ornament. You know, just to see it explode and everything." Nami raised her fist and punched him straight into the deck. "Don't even think about it. They are about to do all our hard work for us. If you screw this up I will kill you." Naruto nodded vigorously before hiding behind Robin. 'She is scary,' he thought.
Jaya Island
They were unable to find anything of use on the sunken ship, but Robin did manag to steal an Eternal Log Pose to the island of Jaya. There they would ask around to see if anyone knew about Sky Island. Naruto and Robin had left the ship together and were now walking through the town full of pirates. Everywhere they looked people were fighting for absolutely no other reason then to fight. Robin glanced down at Naruto and wondered why he seemed so emotionless. She knew that he enjoyed a good fight more then anyone else in the crew. From the past two days she had been getting to know Naruto and now knew that he loved to fight strong people, and there were many of them there so why is it he didn't join in on the fighting here? Why for that matter had he decided to travel with her instead of Luffy, Zoro, and Nami?
He is exactly like Luffy. Impossible to read or predict. Yet at the same time he could also be very much like Zoro when it came to training and always wanting to push past his current limites. Naruto truly is a unique individual. "This town doesn't look like it has any good food at all. I bet they don't even have ramen," said Naruto randomly.
"It is a pirate town. All they care about is their own selfish desires. Come, I want to buy some new clothes before looking for information on Sky Island," smiled Robin.
"Hai!" smiled Naruto.
An hour later, they headed back to the ship. Robin wore a brand new purple outfit along with a purple hat and black high heel boots. Naruto was carrying a couple more bags for her. They walked aboard the Going Merry to see Luffy and Zoro a little worse for wear. "Oi, what happened to you two?" asked Naruto curiously. He tilted his head as he looked at Zoro and Luffy.
"Robin-chan!" yelled Sanji.
"Where have you two been?" demanded Nami angrily.
"I went to buy some new clothes, provisions, and find information on Sky Island," smiled Robin. One of her hands appeared in front of Luffy and held a map in it. "Here you go Captain."
"A treasure map?" said Usopp.
"It is a map of Jaya Island. Right now we are located in Mocktown. On the other side is an X where an outcast lives," she explained.
"Outcast?" said Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji.
Robin smiled, "his name is Montblanc Cricket. He was outcast for spouting about his dreams. Makes sense doesn't it?" Luffy smiled, "Aye let's go."
Naruto scratched the back of his head. He did not remember Robin asking anyone about a guy name Montblanc or purchasing a map. Well, he did drift off for a second to eat an apple from such strange man riding a horse. And then when he turned around Robin came out of a bar where the other occupants ran away from her in fear. Nope, couldn't remember when she got that map. "Oi Naruto, you paying attention?" asked Usopp.
"Huh? Me? I'm fine, how are you?" smiled Naruto. Usopp sighed. Naruto and Luffy were much too similar.
Montblanc Cricket's House
"Ahhh! What a rip off!" yelled Luffy.
"Yeah, it's just a board not a palace!" yelled Naruto just as upset.
They had arrived at the man's house to see this huge palace, but in truth it was just a large board in the design of a palace. It was actually just half a house. "Why was this man labeled an outcast?" asked Nami.
"I don't know the whole story," admitted Robin, "but apparently he believed that there is a mountain of gold somewhere on Jaya Island."
"Gold!" smiled Nami with money signs in her eyes.
"Hey, you never did tell me who beat you up? Was he strong? Should I got back there to kick his ass for picking on my punching bag?" asked Naruto. Zoro gained a tick and tried to punch Naruto in the face, but only phasing through him. "I am not your punching bag!"
Naruto blinked, "oh? But you have never beat me in our spars."
"One day I will beat you!"
"Hehe, we will see about that," grinned Naruto scratching the back of his head. "Luffy!" Zoro and Naruto turned around to see a large man jumped out of the water after pulling Luffy into it. They were about to go help Sanji fight the man when he collapsed to the ground breathing heavily. "He's sick, get some cool towels," shouted Chopper, as he transformed into his hybrid form and carried him inside the house.
Naruto and Zoro shrugged their shoulders as they sat back down. Chances are that was Montblanc Cricket the man they were searching for. Neither of them were good when it came to asking civilly for answer so they decided to leave that to the others.
Nighttime
Luffy, Nami, Naruto, Usopp, and Chopper's eyes went wide as Montblanc revealed his gold treasure that he had found while diving. There were three golden ingots and a golden statue of a South Bird. "Gold," smiled Nami with money signs in her eyes.
"In ancient times many ships used to use South Birds," smiled Masira. Suddenly Masira, his brother, and Montblanc gasped. "Oi, you all need to hurry into the forest and capture one of these birds," said Montblanc.
Luffy blinked, "why?"
"You plan to ride the Knock-Back Stream tomorrow afternoon right? It is directly south of here. How do you plan to reach it?"
"Oi we just sail south," said Luffy firmly.
"This is the Grand Line."
Nami's eyes widened, "since we are not sailing to an island we will have no way of knowing which direction we are heading in. How do we find it?"
"Some animals have an innate sense of direction. A Southbird is a prime example of this. No matter where it is or what happens. It will always point in the same direction. You can use this to find your way," said Montblanc. His eyes became hard. "If you don't find one then you will miss your opportunity to get to Sky Island!"
"AHHH! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS SOONER?! HURRY WE HAVE TO FIND THAT BIRD!" All the Straw Hats ran out into the woods. "You have until morning to find that bird. While you are searching for it we will repair your ship," said Montblanc.
A snoring sound came from behind them. The three turned and gasped as they saw Naruto sleeping peacefully on the mats inside the house. He continued to snore without a care in the world.
Naruto was having a pleasant dream where he was sleeping on the Going Merry while a nice breeze blew threw his hair. Strange, most people would dream about other things yet he dreamed about sleeping. Something he is already currently doing. He frowned as loud noises came from outside. "What is all that noise? Hey, where are the others?" yawned Naruto standing up. He rubbed his eyes as he headed outside. His eyes narrowed as he saw the old man and the two monkeys lying on the ground beat up.
"Ha-ha! How pathetic! The Saruyuma Alliance is nothing but an old man and a couple of monkeys," laughed Sarquiss.
Montblanc coughed up some blood, "you don't have the right to touch that treasure."
Sarquiss narrowed his eyes, "the right? What do you know about the right? A true pirate doesn't go chasing after dreams. He takes what is his by force! Now I will show you the right." He ran forward and went into a rapid spin. Just as he was about to declare his attack an orange blur stepped in front of Montblanc and stopped the blade. All of the Bellamy's pirates eyes widened. Sarquiss stood there froze in the air as Naruto held the blade between his fingers. With a twist of his wrist, the blade broke in half and Naruto tossed it aside.
"Oh? Looks like we got a tough guy," smirked Bellamy before laughing.
Naruto had a cold look in his eyes. He turned his back on Sarquiss not sparing him a second glance. "That gold. Hand it over, it doesn't belong to you." Bellamy grinned widely before he started to laugh along with his crew. "Doesn't belong to me heh? If you want it why don't you come and take it."
"Teach this punk a lesson Bellamy!"
"Yeah, stopping my blade was just a fluke," smirked Sarquiss.
"You ok old man?" asked Naruto turning his back on the pirates. Montblanc grunted as he rose to his knees then sat down Indian style. "Yeah, can't believe I allowed myself to get beat by some shitty ass weaklings." They shared a smirk which pissed Bellamy off.
"Ignore me? Let's see how tough you are after I get done with you," smirked Bellamy his legs turned into springs. He bounced off the ground at high speeds straight into the forest where he started to bounce off the trees increasing his speed even more. Nothing but a blur he became to the naked eyes. "Time to die!" Bellamy sprung off the fake board causing a large hole to be formed in it as he did so. Naruto had his back to the pirate who came straight at him.
Bellamy reared back his fist and threw it forward. Naruto spun around his own fist reared back and threw it forward. Their two fists collided against one another. A sickening crunching sound was heard. Every single bone in Bellamy's arm shattered upon contact and his arm bent all the way backward. Naruto raised his foot up and slammed it down on Bellamy's head. Bellamy hit the ground forming a decent sized crater. The entire crew of Bellamy Pirates started to shake in fear as Bellamy lie on the ground knocked out cold.
"Let's see how do you like the taste of your own medicine." Naruto said to the knocked out Bellamy.
"Bellamy! Quit joking around and get up!" yelled Sarquiss his body starting to shake in fear.
Naruto looked up and straight at the remaining group. They all took a step back in fear at the cold look in his eyes. He reached down, picked up Bellamy, and tossed him at Sarquiss. Bellamy hit the ground in front of his first mate. "Leave. Never come back or you're next." Sarquiss gritted his teeth as the others picked up Bellamy and ran away in fear with him soon following. If there is one thing Naruto hated it is people who looked down upon others. Bellamy didn't realize how lucky he had been to escape with his life.
"Not bad kid, though what did mean by his own medicine? " smirked Montblanc standing up.
"I am a mirror man, I just reflected back his punch with twice the force." Naruto smirked. Montblanc's eyes widened realizing what the man in front of him could do. Naruto liking the look on the man's face. "I see.." the old man muttered.
The two monkey brothers soon got up as well. "Time to get back to working on the ship." Naruto yawned and stretched out his arms smacking his lips together. "Sure, what do we need to do?" he asked. With that they once again went back to work.
