Demon Mirror Naruto
Chapter 3
"This is awesome!" yelled Naruto. He hopped onto the railing and grinned widely. "I can't believe it. We are actually sailing on clouds." Little did he know that a certain fox inside of him couldn't believe it either.
"Yosh, we made it to Sky Island!" cheered Luffy with a large grin of his own. Naruto and Luffy started to do a celebratory dance.
Nami couldn't believe her eyes either. They were actually sailing on an ocean of clouds. This should be impossible. Yet here they were doing it. "The Log Pose is still pointing up," she said.
"Then we must be right on top of the cloud. I am sure if we need to go higher then another route will reveal itself," smiled Robin.
Naruto grinned as he sat down on the railing. "I didn't think this day could get any better. First I beat that punk, then I beat Zoro once again." Zoro glared at Naruto fingering the hilt of his sword. "And now we are sailing on the clouds. I can't wait to see Sky Island." The clouds started to shake and out of the burst several sea monsters. Zoro charged forward drawing his blades and slicing the octopus four times. To his surprise, it burst like a balloon instead of being separated into pieces. Sanji took care of the other with a kick to the head knocking it out cold.
"Strange fish," blinked Usopp hiding far away from the snake-like monster.
Robin examined the fish, "it seems that the fish in the clouds have adapted living in such a environment by making their bodies less dense."
"That would explain why that octopus popped like a balloon," nodded Nami in agreement.
Chopper looked through the binoculars and smiled. "Oi another ship. And a person?" His eyes widened in horror as he watched the bull-man destroyed the ship. "What did you see?" asked Zoro. The reindeer turned towards Zoro shivering in fear. "A ship but then a bull blew it up. It is coming right towards us!"
Zoro raised eyebrow thinking the reindeer had lost it. "Look," yelled Luffy. There coming right at them was a man wearing a large bull mask and a pair of strange skates.
"He is gliding across the ocean!" shouted Nami.
"If he wants a fight, I will give him one," smirked Sanji. That smirked didn't last long when the bull-man slammed a foot into his face. "He's mine," said Zoro drawing his blade, but he too was soon hit before he could even move.
Luffy had the same luck much to Nami's shock. "What is wrong with you three?" Her eyes widened as the bull-man took aim at their ship with his bazooka. Surprisingly he just turned and started aiming in other direction, that was when she saw Naruto calmly smiling and looking towards that direction, finally understanding what had happened. He was just about to fire it when a man dressed in knight's armour and carrying a javelin knocked the bull-man down into the ocean. The knight then landed on their ship allowing her to have a good look at him. It was a skinny old man with a thing white beard and a bird she had never seen. "Who are you?"
"I am the Knight of the Sky," answered the old man the bird squawking behind him. "He retreated."
"Who was that, that attacked us?" asked Nami. She then turned to look at the four. "What's more is what was up with that display? He beat all three of you. I thought you were supposed to be strong."
Sanji, Luffy, and Zoro were all panting heavily. "My body, I can barely move it at all," panted Luffy.
"It is probably the thin air up here," said Robin.
"Yeah, that seems about right," grunted Zoro finally breathing regularly.
"Are you all Blue Sea Dwellers?" asked the Old Knight, as he walked up to the second level of the ship. "Blue Sea Dwellers?" frowned Nami.
The Knight nodded, "yes. It is the term used to describe those that live beneath the clouds."
"So what do we call you then? Sky dweller?" blinked Naruto.
"I am the Knight of Sky. A free mercenary of the skies. One whistle and I shall arrive to lend my aid for a reasonable price that is," spoke the old knight.
"Kind of just ignores everyone doesn't he?" pouted Naruto. Robin didn't much like how the Knight had avoided there questions either. Especially concerning the person who had attacked them. The Knight soon left after saying that he would come the moment he heard the whistle and help them in any situation so long as they had the money to pay him. Not a very chivalrous knight.
Sky Island - Angel Beach
Naruto was sitting on the beach enjoying watching the sun all the while thinking new ways to use his powers. He was strong, mare than anyone in the crew and he knew that, but you could never be too strong now, can you. If he wanted to complete his dream than he had to be strong, he couldn't compromise with that.
His nakama had followed the beautiful young woman, Conis, to her home to learn more about this place. Honestly, he didn't really care to learn the history, items, or any of that. All he wanted to do is enjoy his time here.
"Naruto!" He turned his head to see Sanji running towards him with the others not far behind. "Naruto! Where is Nami-swan!?" yelled Sanji.
"She is behind-" Naruto blinked as he pointed at nothing but open cloud ocean. He tilted his head and frowned. Where did Nami-san go? "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" yelled Sanji grabbing Naruto by the shirt and shaking him.
Naruto gained swirls in his eyes, "I mean I don't know where she went." Sanji dropped Naruto and started to yell all over for Nami.
"Oi, we can use the Waver!" said Usopp.
"Yosh! I shall ride it!" Luffy picked up the old broken down looking Waver. They all watched as he stupidly tried to activate it but merely sunk into the ocean. "Luffy!" yelled Chopper.
A few minutes later, Conis and her father were trying to fix the waver while the others brought Naruto up to date. "So, there is a sacred land called Upper Yard? And a God lives there?" said Naruto.
"Hai, or that is the story at least," nodded Zoro.
"A God. Probably someone with a Devil Fruit," laughed Naruto.
"That would make more sense," said Robin. Zoro had to agree. Chances are it was something with very powerful Devil Fruit abilities. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing had happened.
"Oi!" All turned to look at Luffy. "Who are those guys crawling towards us?" Sure enough, around seven men with wings on their backs and wearing similar uniforms were crawling on the grounds towards them. "Probably perverts," deadpanned Usopp.
"Oh, so that is a pervert," said Chopper.
The men continued to crawl towards them. "Hesu!" said the leader making a type of bunny ears with his fingers. "Hesu," replied Conis and her father.
"What are you saying?" frowned Luffy.
"You Blue Sea Dwellers. You are the eight people who have illegally trespassed on Sky Island!" the man held out pictures of each of them.
"How did he get pictures of us?" wondered Naruto looking around.
"Why is he calling us illegal entrants?" asked Sanji. A more appropriate question.
"I think it is because we didn't pay the entrance fee. It seems that old woman let us through without telling us that doing so would make us trespassers," said Robin. Usopp hid behind Zoro in fear not wanting to go to jail.
"We the White Berets are responsible for up holding the law. You did not pay the immigration fee therefore you violated a Class 11 crime. It is a simple matter that can be settled if you pay ten times the fee right now. 70,000,000,000 extol," said the captain of the White Berets.
Naruto sat down on the ground, "no way. This place is cool and everything but I am not paying that much."
"Wait! We don't even know how much that is! Excuse me. How much is that in berri?" asked Usopp not wanting any trouble.
"That will be 7,000,000 berri," said the captain calmly.
"Nani!" shouted Luffy.
Sanji released a puff of smoke, "way too much."
"Yea we will not pay that much, but maybe you can keep Zoro with you for a while. You know he can take you anywhere you want to go. He is really good with directions and strong too, hmmmm, maybe you can keep him as a bodyguard." Naruto said laughing. This caused the rest of the crew to laugh too.
Ever since Naruto go to know about Zoro's horrible sense of direction he had been using it to tease Zoro. Much to the swordsman ire.
"I am going to kill you!" Zoro started to chase Naruto around with his sword.
The Captain of the White Berets cleared his throat, "using a weapon while on Angel Beach. That is a Class 8 crime." He looked around and noticed that they were missing the eighth person. "Hiding the eighth individuals that is a class 7 crime."
"Oi, I am getting tired of you talking. I am going to kick your ass!" shouted Luffy angrily.
Usopp grabbed Luffy, "he is just kidding. Nami-san will be back shortly and then we will gladly pay the fee."
"No way, I am not paying no fee. I am with Luffy, let's kick his ass," yelled Naruto.
"Get back here!" shouted Zoro swinging and missing Naruto. "Nothing but cloud," laughed Naruto before ducking down to avoid losing his head.
"Guys!"
"Nami-swan! My love!"
"See there she is now. Nami, we need 7,000,000 berri to pay for the fee to be released of our criminal charges!" yelled Usopp.
"7,000,000 berri?" a dark looked appeared in Nami's eyes. The Captain of the White Beret's eyes widened as the Waver Nami was riding crashed right into him. "That is too much!"
"No!" yelled Usopp his jaw hitting the clouds.
A sound of bodies hitting the ground were heard and Usopp turned to see Naruto standing over the remaining White Berets. Each were knocked out cold and sporting multiple bruises. "What are you doing!?" yelled Usopp and Nami.
"What? I thought we were beating them up. You took out the captain," blinked Naruto.
"Idiot!" yelled Nami hitting Naruto over the head.
"This is not good," gasped Conis's father.
"Attacking the White Berets is a Class 2 crime. Now you will be judged by the God Enel. No has ever survived the judgment of our God Enel and the four priests," Conis had a grim look in her eyes.
"Zoro," said Naruto with a hard look.
"Yeah?"
"This is no job for someone with a horrible sense of direction. What would we do if you got lost and suddenly fell directly into the grandline. If you stay here with Usopp you will be safe," said Naruto placing a hand on Zoro's shoulder. Zoro's eyes started to twitch as Naruto gave him that look. "Let us handle this god. Be safe my friend. Be safe," he whispered.
"I'll kill you!"
Break
The straw hats now find themselves in the of a lake with Merry standing on some kind of alter, in the middle of the forest. Recently they just invaded the forest island known as the Upper Yard, with somehow now finding themselves in this situation.
The crew decides to split and search something about this god Enel they keep hearing about, with Robin taking off after reading the poneglyph she found in hopes of finding something of the history. Nami took off with her when she heard something about the treasure. The rest just went on their own. The only one staying on the ship were Naruto and Chopper with former looking closely at a piece of mirror and the later once again on a medicine. That was when they heard a noise and saw a huge bird with a man sitting on its back. Naruto blinked a few times and then smirked.
"Oh yeah, things just got interesting." He said as he stood up and walked towards the edge of the ship towards the man.
"Is this all? I had been hoping for more," said the man with a disappointed look in his eyes.
"Naruto! Help!" yelled Chopper.
"Why are you screaming so loud? I am right here," Naruto said as Chopper came and stood beside him. The little reindeer pointed at the stranger that had showed up. "Oi, are you this God I keep hearing about?"
The man smirked, "Let's go Fuza." The large bird soared into the sky. "I am Shura, one of the four priests that serves the God Enel. I have come here to deal out your punishment for breaking the rules of Upper Yard." Shura raised his lance. He then hopped off Fuza and thrust his lance forward. Naruto used the back of his hand to slap the lance away before jumping off the Going Merry creating some distance between them. "You can't run! Burn him Fuza!" smirked Shura.
Fuza flew above Naruto, opened its mouth, and released a torrent of flames straight at Naruto. "Naruto!" yelled Chopper. Naruto jumped straight into the air and delivered a kick to Fuza's face, but the bird dived down to avoid it. Shura leapt off the Merry and appeared in front of Naruto. "Ha-ha, this might be fun after all." His lance moved at great speeds as he tried to stab Naruto. Naruto dodged the first thrust, but a second glanced his right shoulder followed by a third across his cheek. Each landed on the ground with Shura having the high ground. "You're pretty good at dodging, but you can't run forever," laughed Shura. The man stopped laughing when a cut appeared across his left cheek. His eyes widened as he looked down upon Naruto.
Naruto grinned as he fully unsheathed his sword. "Got you," smiled Naruto. Now that Chopper for the first time saw the blade, he was awed. The blade was long and light blue in colour along with some grey at the edges. It had a cross shaped silver guard and its handle was dark blue in colour, the same colour sheathe. All in all it looked a beautiful blade.
"So, you are possess some skill. No matter, that will not help you. Your death is inevitable," smirked Shura charging forward. Naruto raised his blade and started to parry or dodge each thrust or slash.
Chopper's eyes widened in awe. He had never seen Naruto fight like this. Luffy fought using brute force, Zoro using three swords, and Sanji with powerful kicks. Yet Naruto fought a bit more elegantly or that is how it looked. Each move he took was perfectly calculated without wasting a single bit of energy. Naruto had a smile on his face as he fought with Shura yet never truly attacking back. Cuts started to appear all over Shura's body showing that the superior fighter using melee weapons is obviously Naruto. 'He is enjoying the fight. Prolonging it on purpose,' thought Chopper with wide eyes. That's when he realised that Naruto had yet to use his devil fruit powers, unlike others who just rely on the devil fruit all the time.
A pinging sound was heard as Naruto deflected a thrust to his throat then stepped inside Shura's guard slamming his palm into the man's chest. Shura grunted as he was sent skidding backwards from the force of the blow almost tripping over the stairs. "You're really good," grinned Naruto. "Hey do you think you can tell me where I can find this God at?"
"Argh! How dare you mock me! I will kill you! You are not fit to breathe the same air as my God!" Shura charged forward his lance becoming on fire. He thrust it forward with all his might but Naruto danced around it. Shura's eyes widened as Naruto appeared behind him and a fountain of blood erupted from his back. Some of it got on Naruto's shirt. "You are starting to annoying me. Always wanting to kill something for no reason. I don't want to spar with a person like that," said Naruto lowering his sword. And with that he threw the small mirror he was looking at earlier at his enemy. The mirror slowly flipping towards Shura.
Shura clenched his fists as he rose back up to his feet. He jumped up and landed on Fuza's back flying around Naruto. "You will die. At my hands! Now watch closely as you face the Ordeal o... huh!" asked Shura as looked into the mirror. He suddenly vanished.
Chopper was gobsmacked at the current happening and turned towards Naruto wanting to ask when he saw Naruto had vanished too. "NARUTOOOO.."
A few seconds later Naruto reappeared, Chopper instantly latching onto him. "NARUTO.. was that, I was scared." He shouted.
"Sorry Chopper, the last technique I used was a bit destructive and Merry could have gotten hurt, so I took him somewhere else." Naruto replied, though Chopper wanted to ask where he went Naruto cut him off. Maybe would just him later on.
"Come on lets wait for others, they should be back in a while." He said as they both went to the other side of the lake to wait.
Chopper was really excited and a bit scared for the coming things in his pirate life but for now he could not wait to tell others about Naruto's awesomeness.
