(Galley of the Black Pearl)
The Ironblood Pirates all stared in baffled confusion at the Whitebeard pirate who snuck onto their ship for food and was currently face first sleeping in his plate of chicken.
"This is a division commander of the Whitebeard pirates?" Naruto asked baffled at this
"Well most powerful pirates are quirky. Case and point you" Reiju said as she shrugged pointing at Naruto
"Yeah she's got you there captain" Seras said smirking
"Oi I'm not that bad!" Naruto grumbled as The pirate sleeping in his food suddenly woke up with a piece of chicken in his mouth
"Ah, that's good food. Who cooked this?" the man asked as he swallowed his food
"I did." Ikumi said, holding up a hand not wanting to piss this guy off. If he was a whitebeard pirate and according to Naruto the second division commander he was probably crazy strong
"Not bad. Been a while since I had something this good." the man said as he continued Eating
"Alright that's it. Who are you?" Erza demanded as she pulled out a sword ready to attack
"Code red!" Denji yelled as he grabbed Erza from behind grabbing her arms
"I'll get the rope!" Twice yelled as he took out some rope
"Relax my dear. He's not an enemy. Isn't that right Portgas D. Ace?" Naruto asked
"Oh you know me cool. Nah I was just on the way to Alabasta and I recognized your ship's flag from the papers. Gotta say a newbie killing a Celestial dragon, gotta be crazy or have something to prove" the now named Ace said as he ate some more chicken
"So you just wanted to meet Naruto?" Ikumi asked with a raised eyebrow
"Well I smelled your food so I figured may as well eat a good meal while I meet big red's kid" Ace said as he drank from a mug
"Big red?" Power asked confused
"Our mom and I'm so gonna use that nickname" Naruto said with a snicker at this
"That's at least what pops crew calls her, pops calls her arrogant brat" Ace said as he set down the mug
"That sounds about right. So Alabasta huh?" Naruto asked
"Yeah, I am looking for a few pirates. One good one not. Heard one was near Alabasta and the other may be nearby as well" Ace said as he wiped his face
"I see. We'd be happy to give you a ride. As long as you're not with Baroque works" Naruto said
"Uh Who?" Ace asked confused
"Don't worry about it. Make yourself comfortable. I have to let our first division know you'll be joining us when we depart so they don't shoot you" Naruto said with a chuckle. He really liked this guy. He was clueless in his own way. It kind of reminded him of Luffy
"Oh you guys have a second ship already? How long have you been sailing for?" Ace asked
"about a month" Orihime said
"... the hell kind of luck" Ace grumbled admittedly a bit jealous. Hey he had his own crew before he joined Whitebeard but even he wasn't able to get multiple ships worth of crews under his command in a month
"Uh Captain a word?" Cheetara asked as she pulled him aside
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked as he and Cheetara approached a corner of the room
"Are you absolutely sure we can trust him? He smells of fire and smoke. He may be planning to burn us all" Cheetara said as she wasn't sure trusting this guy was a good call. Even if he apparently had some prior interaction with her captain's mother
"Relax. I don't think he'd do anything to us. If he wanted to harm us he'd be here with another ship worth of pirates not here by himself. And Whitebeard pirates don't usually cause too much destruction without reason. And we've done nothing to anger a Yonko. I think. Wait, did I?" Naruto asked trying to remember
"Not to my knowledge" Ace said as he announced his presence behind Cheetara who jumped in fright directly into Naruto's arms
"... that was adorable" Naruto said with a chuckle at this
"Shut up and put me down" Cheetara demanded with a blush of embarrassment
"You can relax. You guys haven't angered pops at all. And even if you did as long as it's not super serious he's pretty forgiving." Ace said with a smile
"See? Alright we'll pull into Alabasta's port and meet up with the White Diamond before we find Luffy and the others. Sound good?" Naruto asked his crew
"... did you say Luffy? As in Straw Hat Luffy?" Ace asked surprised
"Yes we're in an alliance with his crew over a matter" Erza said not wanting to say too much about them guarding Vivi
"Yeah guy is a rookie like us and he has a good vibe so I figured we could help him out" Naruto said with a grin
"And so you can get tail from Nami" Carina said smirking
"That's just a bonus!" Naruto yelled at his navigator
"I see" Ace said with a smile at this info. He was honestly worried about Luffy but hearing the reasoning for this alliance even if it was from a rookie crew that had killed a world noble it made Ace happy to hear his brother had a crew and was allied with another crew that wasn't just manipulating them like other pirates out there on the Grand Line
"Alright we'll be in Alabasta by morning I'll go check on the heading" Carina said
"I'll call Mirajane and the others. Ace feel free to relax and make yourself at home on our ship" Naruto said
"Thanks" Ace said as he went back to eating another plate of chicken before he promptly fell asleep in the plate
"...does that happen often?" Reiju asked curiously
"Probably. We Ds are…. Bizarre I suppose according to my grandfather" Naruto said with a sweatdrop before everyone made their way to maintain the sailing ship's course
(Nanohana port. Alabasta morning)
The Black Pearl set ashore on the sandy port of Nanohana where another ship, the White Diamond laid in wait for them.
"Ahoy captain" Mirajane yelled with a smile from the prow of the White Diamond
"Commander Mirajane" Naruto greeted with a grin
"The Straw Hat Pirates have already arrived and hid their ship at a nearby shore and already went into the desert" Juvia said as she saluted Naruto
"Yeah that princess is hard headed and wanted to go on ahead immediately after purchasing supplies" Bisca said
"That and that rubber idiot got the attention of the marines and they had to run" Flare said with a scoff
"... ah hell" Ace sighed "thanks for the ride I better go help that idiot" He said before he started to run off
"Wait what? Why would you help Luffy?" Power asked confused on Ace wanting to save him
"What kind of brother doesn't help their sibling?" Ace asked with a grin before running off
"... eh?!!!!!!" Twice, Denji, Power, Carina, and Seras yelled in shock
"Uh, is that a big deal?" Yoko asked as she and Diane just looked confused at the reaction
"I mean I wouldn't have expected it but now that I think about it…. Yeah that makes sense" Naruto admitted as he nodded after thinking about it
"Orders captain?" Mei asked
"You and Miyuki help stow the ships in a hiding spot. I'll go after Ace and save Luffy from the marines" Naruto said as he ran after Ace
"You just want to see if Hina's here" Seras said flatly
"If she is, it's a bonus!" Naruto yelled back
Inside the port city as the sun was coming up. Luffy was not having the best time. His meal was interrupted by Captain Smoker of the marines. So he did the only thing he could do. He ate all the food he could, ran out of the restaurant, and was currently trying to find his crew to help back him up against the logia fruit using marine.
"This time I'm taking you in Straw Hat! White Blow!" Smoker growled out as he sent a blast some dense white smoke at the rubberman
"Kagero!" Ace yelled, sending a massive blast of fire at the incoming smoke stopping the smoke attack.
"Huh?!" Smoker yelled seeing this before turning to see Ace "you" Smoker said with a glare recognizing the Whitebeard pirate due to his vast reputation
"You just can't stay out of trouble can you Luffy" Ace said with a grin looking at his brother
"Neh? Ace?! You're a devil fruit user?!" Luffy yelled wide eyed at his brother
"Catch up later! We need to get out of here. Where is your crew?" Naruto asked as he ran over to Luffy
"They're in town getting supplies. I was getting food when Smokey attacked me" Luffy explained
"Smokey?" Naruto asked confused
"Me. Of all the pirates I expected to run into I didn't expect the North Blue's most wanted rookie. Ironblood Naruto D Uzumaki" Smoker said with a glare as he held up his seastone Jitte
"You flatter me captain. I take it you're a logia type right? Smoke Smoke fruit?" Naruto asked as he looked at Smoker
"Yeah the perfect fruit to handle rookies like you" Smoker said as he dashed at Naruto in a burst of speed with a trail of smoke behind him only to be shocked as Naruto backhanded the incoming Marine with a haki coated fist
"What?! What was that?!" Smoker demanded never having been hit with Haki till now
'Haki?! On a rookie pirate already?!" Ace thought to himself wide eyed at this reveal
"See here's the thing captain dickhead they call me a rookie but the truth is your marines are so pathetic I didn't have to go all out" Naruto said as he held up his fist for emphasis
"You bastard!" Smoker growled out before a bullet impacted and went through him
"That's my captain, you're insulting!" Yoko yelled holding up her sniper rifle as she, Seras, and Diane in her human size came to help Naruto get Luffy out of there
"Seras?!" Smoker yelled wide eyed at seeing the ex marine
"Smoker" Seras greeted coldly
"So you joined up with a pirate huh? I never thought you'd sink so low after what pirates put you through" Smoker said with a frown
"Oh I'm a Saint compared to your government asshole! Fucking enslaving world nobles. Corrupt marines slaughtering indiscriminately. Admirals who kill or imprison those who disagree with them for sicking a buster call on a friendly island" Naruto said as he scowled
"I see you have met Akainu" Smoker said as he lightly scowled as he could see why this young pirate would think like this if his frame of reference was that admiral
"Not yet but he's on my hit list. Especially after the shit he pulled on Seras here." Naruto scowled
"Wait what?" Smoker asked raising an eyebrow at this
"Save it, just get going!" Ace yelled as he saw more marines coming up behind Smoker
"wait Who's the hot chick with The glasses? she looks like a screamer " Naruto asked with a grin at seeing a woman with short black hair and glasses running at them leading the other marines in a charge with her sword drawn
"Move!" Diane yelled as she grabbed Naruto and Luffy and easily dragged them off thanks to her strength
"oi put me down!" Luffy yelled at Diane
"Not happening Reiju said your sense of direction stinks!" Diane yelled as she ran
"That's Zoro! Not me!" Luffy yelled
"Oh calm down you don't hear my captain complaining about this" Diane yelled
"That's cause he's slung over your shoulder looking down at your breasts" Seras said flatly
"In my defense I'm only human" Naruto said with a grin
"It's fine captain" Diane said with a flirty smile and a wink at her captain
"I spy the Straw Hats dead ahead captain!" Yoko said as she pointed ahead
"Perfect we'll make a plan with them" Naruto said with a grin as they stopped in front of the assembled Strawhats and the other Iron Blood pirates
"Um what was all that smoke coming from the town?" Orihime asked as Diane put Naruto down
"Did you burn down the town captain? Dammit, next time bring me!" Power yelled angrily
"No, we encountered some glass jaw logia. Captain Smoker or something." Naruto said
"So we grabbed the rubber moron and bailed while Ace kept him busy" Yoko said while Diane dropped luffy at his crews feet
"Who's the newbie? Have you guys gotten a pet since we last met?" Naruto asked as he spotted what looked like a reindeer wearing a hat that was wearing desert clothes
"Pet?! I'm not a pet, I'm a doctor!" the reindeer yelled surprising the iron blood pirates
"Talking reindeer!" Twice and Denji yelled in shock
"This is Chopper our newest recruit he's our doctor" Nami said as she figured it was best to get introductions out of the way
"Hello! Now those are great outfits!" Naruto yelled giving a thumbs up seeing Nami and Vivi were wearing dancers outfits.
"he's hopeless" Ikumi sighed out annoyed
"oooooo cousin?" Stitch asked as he approached Chopper and sniffed him curiously as he switched to his brain point form
"I don't think you're related Stitch" Power said with a snicker
"Doesn't mean you can't be friends, I mean your both odd so you can be like sworn brothers" Naruto pointed out
"Oooooo! eh!" Stitch said as he smiled at this and nodded as he smiled at Chopper
"We'll do a ceremony later. We should probably move since Ace is buying us time" Naruto said
"Who's Ace? More importantly who are these two and this other crew with you" Nami Asked confused looking at the Yoko, Diane, Mirajane, Bisca, Cana, Flare, Juvia, and the other members of the White Diamond
"Who cares they're all gorgeous!" Sanji yelled with hearts in his eyes
"Oh they are another pirate crew under my command. I told them to meet us here so they can help with this. They're my first division crew with Mirajane here as the commander" Naruto said gesturing to the white haired bombshell
"hello my lovely ladies I am blinded by your-" Sanji was saying to the white diamond crew before…..
"Keep walking or lose what makes you a man" Mirajane said with a cheerful smile
"Sis! He's harmless and an ally" Lisanna said with a sigh at her sister's attitude
"He's staring at your ass" Mirajane said with a cold tone
"... I mean it's a nice one. Gah!!" Naruto muttered before Ikumi grabbed his ear and twisted it
"Look let's just get back to the Merry and make our way to the desert" Vivi said as she looked at Luffy and Naruto
"sounds good to me. Should we wait for Ace?" Naruto asked as they all made their way to the docks
"He should catch up with us my big bro is pretty strong" Luffy said with a grin
"... eh???!!!! You have a brother?!" The entirety of the Straw Hat pirates yelled
"Uh huh. He's awesome!" Luffy grinned as they ran to the docks
"We'll introduce him later when he shows up now haul ass!" Naruto said as they all ran
(Docks)
Everyone was preparing for their trek to the desert. Gathering necessary supplies and storing anything not needed on their respective ships and heading out to sea all three ships side by side when Ace came back.
"Oi! Care to let me on Luffy?!" Ace yelled as he jumped onto the Merry
"Welcome aboard!" Luffy yelled with a grin
"So Ace, what's the plan for you now? You said you were tracking someone right?" Naruto asked from the prow of his ship
"Yeah but before that I have an offer for all of you. I'd like to extend an invitation to the Straw Hat Pirates and the Iron Blood pirates to join Whitebeard's crew since I'm gonna help make him the king" Ace offered
"Nah! I don't take orders and I'm aiming to be the King of the pirates" Luffy said with a chuckle
"I figured you'd say that. And what about the North Blue's most wanted rookie?" Ace asked looking at Naruto
"Pass but tell the old man I said hey. If Kaa-San Respects him I can at least do that much. I'm just not big on taking orders from others. Unless it's a from a woman in bed and she's asking me to-" Naruto was saying before Ikumi cut him off
"He gets it you moron" Ikumi said as she twisted his ear
"If you didn't have an ass like I like you would be swimming back to the North Blue!" Naruto yelled as he held his ear
"Hahaha! You guys are a riot. Anyways I should get going and go back to my hunt. I'm on the trail of a major outlaw. He's calling himself Blackbeard. He used to belong to my division until he committed the worst crime possible for a pirate. He killed a fellow shipmate and jumped ship. As his commander he's my responsibility. Naruto Luffy. Next time we meet will be on the high seas" Ace said handing luffy a piece of paper before he jumped onto his personal flame propelled boat that he removed from the Black Pearl earlier.
"Maybe next time you and I can go a few rounds. See which of us is stronger" Naruto offered with a grin
"Oi! If anyone's taking on Ace it's me!" Luffy yelled back
"I'll take you both on if you want!" Naruto yelled back making Ace laugh
'He kind of reminds me of Sabo in some ways' Ace thought before turning to them "Everyone take care of my little brother. A little brother like him makes a big brother worry especially since he probably gives you all a lot of grief" Ace said before starting to sail away. Or was until 5 ships crewed by Baroque works agents pulled up to block their escape
"Really only 5 ships? Ok I guess I'll deal with them. Launch the cannons at me" Naruto ordered his crew and the crew of the White Diamond thanks to a mini Transponder Snail he had on him
"Are you insane?!" Nami yelled wide eyed at the request as she heard him order that from their ship
"Yes he is" Ikumi said flatly as she and the others pointed cannons at him
"Fire" Naruto ordered as cannon balls sailed towards him before stopping in mid air around him
"He has a fruit too?" Ace muttered as he sailed out towards the ships. He was gonna take out the ships himself with his flames but Naruto's crazy request had him curious
"Let's see. 5 ships. 25 cannonballs. Alright that should be enough. Scatter shot!" Naruto yelled as he swiped his hands towards the ships, launching all 25 cannonballs at breakneck speed into the 5 ships. Shredding their wooden frames to pieces from the many impacts
"Well that was fun while it lasted" Naruto mused
"Metal manipulation?" Chopper asked curiously
"I'm a magnet man after all. Metal is mine to control." Naruto said smirking
"This explain why you're a woman magnet too?" Zoro asked smirking slightly
"No that's his grandfather's fault" Ikumi sighed
"You love it" Naruto smirked wrapping an arm around her and Orihime's shoulders making the orangette smile sheepishly while the blonde rolled her eyes
"Everyone, I have some cloaks for everyone to wear. Where we're going if your skin is exposed you'll burn in the daylight while we head to the rebel camp" Vivi said as she pulled out a bunch of cloaks and hoods
"Thanks these will be useful for our travels" Erza said as she took some from Vivi to hand out
"What about the rest of your crew?" Ussop asked Naruto as they all put on the cloaks
"I'm having Mira and her crew head for the capital to explain the situation. They won't be accompanying us to the rebel base. If I know Crocodile he's gonna have agents everywhere that Mirajane and the others should weed out if possible" Naruto said
"You sure about that?" Nami asked raising a eyebrow at this as she figured they should have numbers with them just in case and Naruto had that
"Crocodile is a warlord of the sea. He has government Backing and has Remained a mysterious leader of Baroque works. He believes everyone's playing checkers while he's playing chess. So best bet is upend the whole table" Naruto said with a smirk at the others
"You're surprisingly confident going up against a warlord of the sea" Sanji said taking a smoke
"Oh please. Those government dogs gave up their rights as pirates the minute they joined up for those titles." Naruto scoffed
"And yet you keep that one warlords old wanted poster" Ikumi muttered under her breath
"She's a 12 out of 10, don't judge me woman! She's the only warlord I respect!" Naruto yelled
"Yeah cause she's an F cup" Ikumi sighed out with a groan
"Oh like you don't have a thing for her too." Naruto scoffed as he knew said warlord attracted women too
"Hey! What's with the sea otters?" miyuki yelled as they approached the desert shore to dock but before they could get off the ship what looked like a turtle mixed with a seal.
"those Are kung fu dugongs. Ussopp don't approach them!" Vivi yelled seeing the sniper walk towards one before the kung fu dugong knocked him out with an uppercut
"Ughhh" Ussopp groaned out in pain
"They aren't that tough" Naruto said as he knocked out one that tried to assault him while Luffy also knocked out one
"Oh no. If you beat one they become the apprentice of those who beat them" Vivi groaned
"oh?" Naruto asked before he slowly grinned as a idea hit him as a group of dugongs approached him barking at him obviously challenging him
"oh no. I know that look in his eyes" Ikumi groaned
"New division!" Naruto yelled as he let out a roar and ran forth towards the group of kung fu dugongs kicking off a brawl
Moments later what looked like a massive group of the dugongs with bumps on their heads were bowing their heads to Naruto
"He has an army of them?!" Nami yelled wide eyed
"OK you lot! You are my new division hereby known as the sea division! You will follow my orders, commander Mirajane's orders, and any of my crewmates and future divisions orders without issue. If there is an issue you will settle your differences in battle. Am I understood?!" Naruto yelled out like a drill sergeant to his newest army who barked in response
"I don't have words for this" Reiju admitted as she didn't expect this
"Hmm maybe I should take on some. I could use some as palanquin bearers" Power mused with a grin
"you don't have a palanquin" Seras said as she shook her head
"Yesh cause the only person who could pull one for me is Denji here. I need multiple people to carry one" Power said grinning at the idea
"why the hell would I do that?" Denji asked baffled
Power said nothing to this but smirked before she smacked her hip twice making her ass jiggle
"... ok I'll pull a palanquin if you get one" Denji said unashamedly
"Good I'll reward you later" Power said with a smirk as she licked her lips lightly. Denji shuddered at this extremely glad Naruto was currently ordering around his new army
"Alright you will all guard these ships with your very lives until we return! Once we have returned in the coming days you will be fully welcomed in as a sworn division of the Ironblood Pirates!" Naruto ordered getting cheers from the Dugongs
"Should I make some outfits with our flag for them?" Mei asked curiously
"Indeed" Naruto said with a grin at the idea
"Anyways let's head To Yupa!" Luffy yelled
"Yuba" Vivi said flatly correcting him
"Yeah that place" Luffy nodded as they all departed the ships and made way to the town of Yuba where the rebels camp was located
"Aren't you hot in that outfit?" Nami asked Twice as they went walking towards the Nearest city Erumalu on the way to Yuba.
"Very!" Twice yelled happily as he was sweating through his outfit
"Why not take that mask off? It can't be good for you" Chopper said as he frowned slightly
"The Mask stays on! I shall never remove this mask! Not again! Not after last time!" Twice yelled in a panic as he grabbed his mask
"Woah woah Jin calm down nobody is gonna take your mask" Naruto said as he patted Twice on the shoulder
"Is he ok?" Zoro asked Erza curiously
"The captain and I found him in a marine prison along with Seras and Denji. They were doing small experiments on the prisoners there. We're not actually too sure where he was before that though but wherever it was it can't have been good" Erza said with a frown
"I should've made those assholes suffer more" Naruto grumbled really hating those marines he and Erza decimated with Jolyne's assistance
(Hours later)
it was hours later and the group was still tracking across the desert
"Are we there yet?" Twice whined out
"Jin we will get there when we goddamn get there!" Carina yelled aggravated as Jin has been doing this constantly
"I'm bored! I counted all the sand in my suit 56 times" Jin griped
"I'm gonna kill him" Erza grumbled as she made a sword appear in the air as she was at her limit
"Quick get the fat ass some cake!" twice yelled as he hid behind Denji
"Hey no using my boy toy as a shield!" Power yelled at Twice
"…..eh? Your what?" Naruto asked with a cold tone as his head craned towards Denji with a glare
"I regret nothing! She came onto me! I'm innocent I swear! Have mercy oh god of women!" Denji yelled in a panic
"Oi! you yanked on my hair and said you were gonna tame you a wild bitch you ain't that innocent!" Power Yelled at Denji
"I did no such thing!" Denji yelled panicking even more
"Told you the yelling coming from her room wasn't her torturing people" Mei said with a grin at miyuki
"Obviously we haven't had anyone to torture since Korona island the other day…. What did we do with that agent 12 guy anyways?" Reiju asked
"I tortured his pansy ass for information. Bitch ass broke in 30 seconds after I started removing his teeth and shoving them up his dic-" Power was saying with a mad grin before
"WE GET IT!!!!" Nami yelled horrified as she hugged Chopper and usopp as the three of them shivered in terror
"Let's just keep going we should be at Yuba soon" Vivi said looking a little green herself
"This isn't over" Naruto said to Denji as they kept walking
"I'm gonna fucking die now." Denji groaned
"Hey there are worse ways to go then for sticking it to the red death's daughter" Twice said with a happy tone
"Like what?" Zoro asked with a raised eyebrow at the duplicating madman
"Killing duplicates of yourself and not knowing if you're the real one or not. Or dying from chocolate" Twice said
This made everyone pause at Twice's words
'Shit and I thought I had it bad' Seras thought as she didn't expect this from Twice
"Memo to me we should maybe look for a therapist of sorts for the crew" Naruto muttered
"Anyone who takes that job needs top pay" Ikumi said
"How much we talking?" Nami asked curiously as she was curious what Narutos financial situation was
"Money is no object considering all the crap we liberated so much gold and berris from that racist island" Naruto said as he shrugged
"Oh yea those guys kept holding all kinds of stuff so they could pay off marines and bounty hunters" Diane said while Yoko nodded
"Hey look a town" Luffy said Gesturing to a nearby village
"That's Erumalu. It used to be a peaceful and nourished land" Vivi said looking at the land sadly
The large group saw the place abandoned. Devoid of life and water like a ghost town.
"... I think this place looks like shit- hey! " Power said bluntly before Naruto slapped the back of her head
"What did I say about tact sis? Sorry Vivi" Naruto Apologized to The Princess
"No it's alright. Rainfall used to keep this land nourished and green. Full of so much life. However in the last 3 years not a single raindrop has fallen in this region. The port we were at gained water from a nearby oasis but everywhere else has suffered from a drought. Something Alabasta never suffered from in its long history. The only place that got water which was said to be a miracle was Alubarna. The capital city with the king's palace. They saw a group of merchants drop cargo filled with green powder called dance powder. A powder that summons rain when it becomes a mist sent into the sky" Vivi explained
"So wouldn't that powder solve everything?" Nami asked
"Unfortunately not. Dance powder absorbs moisture from even the smallest of clouds as a side effect. If it permanently removed clouds it makes sense why there was no more rain falling." Miyuki said as she was familiar with it
"Ah so that's how Crocodile has been starting this civil war" Reiju said as crossed her arms
"Yes Crocodile has framed my father as having been using dance powder so the Alubarna would be the only place it rains on. All part of his scheme to cause this suffering. I will never forgive him!" Vivi yelled angrily with tears in her eyes
"Let's get moving I'm itching for action" Luffy said as he balled his hand in a fist and started walking forward
"Vivi I promise you we'll end Crocodile's scheme. You have my word as a pirate captain, a fighter, and as a man who vowed to destroy those government dogs. And Naruto D Uzumaki never goes back on his word. So I'm gonna skin a crocodile" Naruto said as he followed after Luffy
"Sir! Are you there?" Naruto's wrist Transponder Snail said using Biscas voice
"Bisca? What's happening?" Naruto asked as he lifted the wrist Snail to his face
"We have a problem! We have spotted some of crocodiles officer agents in Alubarna and they have a response for us from what I can see" Bisca said
"What's that?" Naruto asked curiously
"He seems to have a giant who's posing as hired help for the rebels helping him and from what I can see he's ready to attack if he spots anyone from your crew- shit!" Bisca was saying before a crashing sound was heard in the background
"Bisca! What's happening?!" Naruto yelled worried
"I'm fine! Bastard spotted us and threw a giant Boulder at us. Lisanna is down and Flare is wounded. The rest of us just have some scrapes" Bisca said
I'm sending backup! Giants are no joke and it will take one to beat one." Naruto said as he gazed at Diane
Diane blinked at this surprised at this before she nodded
"You sure?" Yoko asked as she raised a eyebrow at her friend
"Yeah I'm not afraid to fight one of my fellow giants" Diane said as she punched her palm
"Just to be sure all of us are heading there just in case Naruto said with a firm tone
"Good idea, Crocodiles plan will most likely involve going after the king so we should split our forces. We'll continue taking Vivi to Yuba. You guys go on ahead to Alubarna and draw their attention" Nami agreed
"Vivi, you have an extra map of Alabasta?" Carina asked the princess
"Yes" Vivi nodded as she handed over an Extra map.
"Alright if we move quickly we can get there by nightfall." Naruto said as he and the others turned to make their way to the capital
"Oi whiskers" Luffy said getting Naruto's attention "Crocodile is mine to fight" Luffy told him
"Sorry I don't share prey or women. It's first come first serve when it comes to me" Naruro said smirking
"I'll beat him before you!" Luffy declared
"Oh? You're welcome to try" Naruto said as his smirk got bigger
"Oh great he has a rival." Usopp groaned out as Luffy laughed
"Rivalries bring out our best. Find one and you'll strive to prove yourself against them. You. Ace. Law. My mother. My uncle. Whitebeard. The other yonkos. I don't have any interest in becoming the pirate king. But becoming greater pirates than all of you? Now that's my motivation." Naruto said before he and his crew started walking off towards Alubarna.
(Alubarna)
Meanwhile In Alubarna Mirajane and her crew were in the city hiding in a warehouse after Flare and Lisanna were injured by the giant working for Crocodile
"I know you're out there!" a booming voice yelled as the earth shook as the giant in question was in view of them as they tried to hide
The giant man was a tanned bald man with red marks under his eyes and orange eyebrows and a black chinstrap bear. He was wearing a short white jacket that exposed his shirtless body and the black circle on his chest, a white long skirt, and a katana at his hip with white sandals and black socks. (It's Yammy from bleach in his non giant form as a giant but without the hollow bone jaw)
"What the hell is Yammy the Destroyer doing working as a merc for that asshole?" Cana whispered to Mirajane
"Must have gotten thrown out of Elbaf" Mirajane said with a scowl as she led her crew to get further away from the giant
"Don't think you can get away! I'll crush you bitches to paste! And if I don't catch you my masters pets will!" Yammy yelled with a loud cackle
As the giant's laugher was heard Mirajane and her crew saw what looked like deformed and eemented creatures with black skin and bird like beaks and exposed brains approaching them from out of the alleyways of the city
"shit! I don't know what these things are but we're not going down without a fight!" Mirajane yelled as they ran from the nomus
