Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or One Piece.

A/N: Sorry about the late update these past few week's I didn't get on the computer much and a few times every time I did have time something pulled me from the computer, and Some ideas for a couple of other stories, and for a couple of original arcs for this one.

Chapter XX.

Last Time.

"Chopper you stay here and fix the hole." Zoro ordered fixing his shirt."Why you going somewhere?" Nami asked as Zoro looked towards the forest."Yeah to take a look around." Nami stared at him for a second."And what are you hoping to find?" Zoro shrugged."Maybe that kami." Nami sighed and shook her head."And what are you going to do if you find him?" She asked as Zoro grinned."Depend's on if he behave's." Naruto turned to him."That sounded a little gay." Zoro glared at him."Shut up." Naruto grinned and walked over to the other side of the ship and saw Robin looking at the writing on the wall.

"Anything interesting Robin-chan?" Robin turned to him and smiled."Just some history." She then turned to Zoro."I would like to come with you." Nami ran to the railing."What why?" Robin explained that there could be priceless artifact's on the island. After getting bag's and getting on the crow's nest, Zoro, Robin wearing her white cowboy hat, and Nami went over to the land."Take care of the ship!" Nami yelled as Naruto and Chopper waved back.

Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp.

"Gomu Gomu no...Pistol.(Gum Gum Pistol.)" Luffy punch's a giant leach out of their way. "Hey a giant head's blocking our way." Luffy said pointing to a giant statue of a head with four hole's going through it."Ordeal of swamp, ordeal of iron, ordeal of string, and ordeal of sphere." Usopp said reading above each hole."Is it me or do these sound less of an ordeal." Sanji commented as they made their way to the head.

Now.

Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp.

"Let's go with sphere's." Luffy said pointing to the far right entrance. Usopp looked back to him."Why sphere's?" He asked as Luffy shrugged."It's like ball's right? So it's the most fun right?" Usopp face-palmed and sighed."That's the stupidest...Well it does sound like the least scariest." Sanji took a drag from his cigarette."Well then that settle's it, sphere's it is." Usopp turn the boat to go in to the far right entrance."Usopp could you open your eye's?" Sanji asked as Usopp did just that."I wonder if this is like a game?" Luffy asked grinning.

"A game?" Usopp asked looking back to Luffy."Yeah like pick the right tunnel, and win a prize, pick the wrong one and..." Usopp gulped."And what?" Luffy smiled, and thought for a moment."And fall off the island." Usopp started yelling at him until Sanji broke it up. "Calm down, it's not like he's right." They sailed to the end of the tunnel and saw..A cliff.

"AAAAAHH!"

They fell through a cloud and landed on to the road again. Sanji was kicking Luffy's head as Usopp was on the floor panting."Idiot don't put stuff like that in our head's." Sanji said as Luffy who was chuckling replied."I thought I was dead too." After calming down they started sailing again."Where are we?" Sanji asked now steering the boat. Luffy looked around seeing the road split in to different path's, some going around and up in to the tree's.

"Head's up guy's we're going in to the tree's." Sanji said as they sailed up."This dosen't seem like an ordeal." Luffy stated as a ball floated past him."Keep you eye's peeled, there may be more trap's." Sanji said looking around."Maybe it was like a game." Luffy said looking around."No they consider us criminals', no way they'll let us go." Sanji said looking back to Luffy, and Usopp. After sailing for a few moment's, Sanji looked around in thought.

"Something dosen't feel right." He looked back and saw Usopp, and Luffy playing with one of the ball's."WOULD YOU TWO QUIT THAT!" He yelled as they continued to play. Suddenly a snake came out of the ball."AAAHHH! A snake!" Usopp yelled crawling to the other end of the boat as Luffy kicked the ball away from them. Luffy looked back in front of the boat, and saw another larger ball.

"There's another one." Sanji turned around and pulled his leg back."I don't like the idea of snake egg's floating around." He said kicking the ball but it barely moved. After a second the ball exploded. After the smoke cleared, Sanji, Luffy, and Usopp were covered in soot."Ho ho hooo! Those are Bikkuritama.(Surprise Ball's.), you never know what's going to come out." Everyone turned around and saw a man sitting on a ball, with red hair, dressed like a ball."I'm so glad you chose my ordeal." He said as the other's sweat-dropped at him.

"Gomu Gomu no.." Luffy pulled his right arm back."You're going to stretch aren't you?" The man asked as Luffy looked shocked for a moment."Pistol.(Gum Gum Pistol.)" Luffy shot his arm forward only for the man dodge. The man put's his left hand in front of Luffy's face and a force hit's Luffy and he went flying in to a tree leaving an imprint on it. Sanji went to kick him, but that man dodged and did the same to him sending him down to Luffy.

"Sanji!" Usopp yelled only for the man to send him flying down to the other's."Sanji, Usopp.." Luffy said getting up and putting his hat back on his head."Yeah we're alright." Sanji replied standing up with Usopp. The man, who introduced himself as Satori explained about his ordeal, and the power he had matra, then set's their boat to sail away."So we just need to catch the boat?" Sanji asked as Satori smiled, and nodded. "Yes, but there's only a ten percent success rate." Usopp gulped at that."T..Ten percent."

"We need to go after our boat." Usopp said taking off after the boat."Usopp wait we also shouldn't get separated." Sanji yelled at Usopp before turning back to Luffy."You guy's go on, I'll take care of ball guy." Luffy said cracking his knuckle's as Sanji sighed."Yeah, just be careful." Sanji said running after Usopp. Luffy shot his left arm up and grabbed a branch and shot his right towards Satori. Satori grabbed his arm, spun him around and threw Luffy away.

Luffy grabbed a branch and sent his fist to Satori who dodged and caught it. Luffy faked a punch and tried to kick Satori, but he jumped over and pulled Luffy and put his hand in his face. A force hit's Luffy sending him in to another tree, Satori came over and hit's Luffy's head several time's. Looking around Satori found Sanji, and Usopp and ran over to them. When he got there he saw Sanji climbing a tree with Usopp on the branch of another one as the boat past under them.

He kicked the ball he was on over to Sanji."Sanji look out, a ball is headed your way!" Sanji looked back and saw the ball."Crap." He cursed as the ball flew closer. The ball insted bounced off other ball's and went back to Usopp. The ball hit his nose as he jumped back. In sted of exploding, a flower came out."Damn a dud." Satori said as Usopp hit's the ground. Luffy came running on a branch and pulled both of his arm's back. "Gomu Gomu no...Gatling.(Gum Gum Gatling.)"

Satori dodged and Luffy hit's the ball's that are in the area insted."Luffy cut it out!" Sanji yelled as Luffy stopped and saw the ball's bouncing around. After dodging animal's weapons, and other attack's from the ball's Usopp put on a red belt with a mechanism on the buckle."I call it the Usoppu Aāaaā.(Usopp AaaAAaaAA.)" Pointing it at a tree a grappling hook shot out of his buckle wrapping around a branch.

He swung off and came up to the boat."Great now jump off!" Sanji yelled to him as he was struggling."Yeah I forgot to fix the rope getting stuck on here." Usopp said as he swung back. Luffy swung beside him on a vine."This is fun isn't Usopp?" He asked as Sanji glared at them. A few moment's later after Sanji knocked some sense in Luffy, and Usopp they talked about how to Beat Satori.

"Ho ho hoo." They turned and saw Satori standing on a ball a few feet up. He jumped down and put his hand on Sanji chest, and a force sent him in to a tree. He did the same to Luffy and Usopp."Well I guess I win." Satori said staring down. After a moment Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp got up and stared up at him.

Going Merry.

Naruto shot another shark that jumped up to the ship having it explode."Damn they're persistent." Naruto said reloading his gun before putting it back in his left holster."I wonder how long the other's will be gone?" Nojiko asked Naruto who walked over to her as Chopper was working on the Merry. Naruto shrugged looking in the direction they went."I don't know, Nami won't stop untill they find a bunch of money, and Robin won't stop if she find's some relics." Hearing something clatter, and a scream they walked over and saw Chopper, in his human form holding his hand as a hammer fell to the bottom step.

"I got it." Naruto said jumping off the Merry, and walked down to the bottom of the steps. He walked back up and Chopper's eye's widened as he was taking the hammer back. Naruto dodged an attack from a spear that drug on the ground and after a second the line that was made set on fire."I see we're missing three sacrifice's." Everyone looked and saw a man riding on a big bird."That's one of those guy's me and Nami-chan saw." Naruto thought recognizing the man.

"Well I suppose there's nothing I can do about that." The man said rubbing the back of his head. He tried to attack the Merry but Naruto used his trench knives to block it leaving a trail of fire."You won't touch the Merry, or my friend's." Naruto said glaring at the Man." The man sighed and jumped off the bird on to the railing."You hear that Fuza?" The man asked his bird."Such a selfish person." The man who introduced himself as Shura, started explaining about the priest, their ordeal's, rule's, and the sacrifice altar.

"But there are exception's to the rule's." Naruto stared at him."And what's that?" Shura pointed to the branch that the other's swung off."Like if someone swung off to land." Naruto gained a tic mark."I'm so going to hurt Zoro." Naruto thought before returning his focus on Shura. Shura tried attacking the Merry again only for Naruto to attack him."You're going to use your right hand." Shura said dodging the attack. Naruto tried to attack him several time's but Shura dodged every one.

"Damn it, how is he predicting my move's?" Naruto thought as he tried to hit Shura as he flew down. Shura flew forward and nicked Naruto in the chest, and left shoulder, a second later Naruto's chest, and shoulder was set on fire."AAAHHH!" Naruto screamed as he rolled on the stone floor of the altar to put the fire out."Give up, you can't beat me." Shura said as Fuza breathed fire.

Naruto catching his breath looked at his burnt chest."Damn I guess I should take them off." He thought then reached down to his pant's leg's he unhooked some leg weight's. "What are you doing?" Shura asked as Naruto threw the weights over to land creating huge crater's."There now I should be able to beat you." Naruto said getting in to his stance. He dissapeared faster than he had before."You're going to hit me with your lef.." Shura didn't finish as Naruto's punch connected.

Shura flew from Fuza and landed on the ground."How did you do that?" Shura asked spitting out some blood."Well you can't dodge my attack's if you're to slow to react." Naruto said as he reapeared besied Shura and kicked him in the neck sending him down to the ground.

Shura got up and got on Fuza, flew up and moved around. Naruto kept his eye's on him the time he was flying."What the hell is he doing?" Back with the other's they were looking on in worry."I hope Naruto-kun will be all right." Nojiko said worried."I'm sure he'll be just fine, especially now that he's faster." Mai said holding the whistle."Plus we can call for help if we need to."

Back to the fight Naruto started jumping on the tree to Shura's height. He notice something pulling on his right arm. He looked down and saw a few thin string's on his arm."So that's what you were doing." Naruto said taking his trench knife with his left hand and cutting it. He pulled his other out and jumped over to Shura cutting all the string's in his way."Saigo no Itte.(Final Move.)" Naruto slash's Shura across the chest having him fall of Fuza again.

Naruto got in front of him, put's his knives' away, and rushed at him."1000M Panchi.(1000 Meter Punch.)" Hitting him, Naruto send's Shura in to the forest hitting a tree leaving a big indent on it. Naruto panted seeing Shura not getting up. Naruto walked over and picked up his weight's and put's them on and swung back to the Merry.

Later Chopper was treating his burn's."You're lucky these aren't that bad." Choppper said putting some ointment on him."Yeah I'll be careful next time." Naruto said wincing a little."Thankfully we had some ointment on hand." Chopper said fiishing with the bandage's."There you go, don't do anything for a while and you'll be fine." Naruto nodded and walked inside to the kitchen with the women to get something to eat.

Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp vs. Satori.

Luffy, and Usopp was running away from a dragon made from the balls being controled by Satori."Ho ho hooo!" Satori laughed moving his cane around."Give up, you cant beat my Tama Doragon.(Ball Dragon.)" He said as Luffy, and Usopp dodged an attack grabbing one of the ball's causing it to exploded. A few moment's later Luffy got up and started running again as Usopp ran in another direction. Satori looked to Luffy who ran towards a tree."That tree's not going to protect you." Luffy kept running."Get out of my head!" Luffy yelled as he ran up the tree, jumped over the dragon, and grabbed a string.

"So this is how he control's the dragon." Luffy said looking at the string as Satori started yelling at him. Luffy pulled the string until it snapped."Let go!" Satori yelled pulling the string, and Luffy who's still holding the other end."WHAT LET GO!" Satori yelled again seeing Luffy coming closer with the dragon.

BOOM!

The dragon exploded, causing a cloud of smoke to cover the area. When it cleared it showed Satori a bit singed, a big crater, and weapons around the area."That guy must have a death wish." He panted out looking around."Now where did he go?" He asked as Luffy grabbed him from behind."Hold him Luffy." Sanji said sitting on a ball lighting a cigarette."You know, predicting move's useless if you can't move." Luffy wrapped his arm's, and leg's around Satori. Sanji jumped up, spun around and came down and axe kicked him breaking his glasses, and a few teeth.

"Man he was annoying." Sanji said looking down at Satori as Luffy tapped him with his foot."GUY'S WE NEED TO HURRY!" They turned around and saw Usopp running towards them."I've found the boat." They ran towards the boat as Usopp fixed his belt then shot the rope around the crow's neck. They shot up and crashed on to it. After sailing through the forest for a while they came cross a field full of skulls on pike's.

"Man wonder what this is for?" Luffy asked looking around holding his hat."It's probally one of the other ordeal's." Sanji replied as he steered the ship. Suddenly an explosion hit just at the edge of the wood and four people came out one with short dark hair and a tattoo on the left side of his face and shoulder, wearing a grass skirt, a bazooka, and a shield. the other three dressed similar but one had a mask.

Sanji raised and eye-brow."That's the guerilla we met when we first came up here." The first man shot his bazooka at the S.H.C."Gomu Gomu no..Fusan.(Gum Gum Ballon.)" Luffy stretched sending the missile away to the forest. He was going to stretch over to the men who stopped on a branch, but Usopp stopped him. After arguing back and forth the man stepped up."You should leave before you die." The four men left them as they continued sailing towards the Going Merry.

When they got there they saw Zoro, Robin, and Nami over on the shore, and the other's on the ship with Chopper tending to Naruto who had his chest, and left shoulder bandaged up. They all got back on the ship as Naruto walked up to Zoro, and hit him on the head. Zoro got up and glared at Naruto."What the hell was that for?!" He asked/yelled at him."That was for leaving the boat!" Before he could yell anymore Nami stopped him."What do you mean Naruto-kun?"

Naruto turned to her."If you didn't leave, and the other's came to us we would've been aloud to leave without being attacked." Nami raised an eye-brow."Really?" She asked as Naruto nodded."Yes, out this area anyway, I'm not sure if any of the other priest would attack." Soon they were sitting around a fire on the ground talking about everything they learned."We went up against a priest named Satori." Sanji started explaining."The weirdest thing is he could predect our move's." Naruto looked up from the book he brought out."So did the guy I fought." He showed the book to everyone."He called it mantra, but it's really called haki."

Naruto continued explaining."There are three type's, Busoshoku Haki.(Armament Haki.) This one can give the user an invisible armour, strengthen their attack's, and hurt logia user's." He continued as everyone looked at the book."Second is Kenbunshoku Haki.(Observation Haki.) Or mantra, like they told us, it allows the user to predict moves, or sense a person's presence." He turned the page to explain the last one."The other two you can learn, but this one you have to be born with."

Everyone leaned in as he finished with his explanation."The last one is Haoshoku Haki.(Conqueror's Haki.) It allow's the user to dominate the wills of others, and knock weak-willed people out by releasing a force of energy." Zoro raised his hand."Can we get this haki?" Naruto nodded his head."For the other two yes, but I don't know the training to we'll need to find someone who does." He replied before closing the book. "We don't need to right away as only Vice Admiral, and higher up have them." He pick up some fish that was cooking. "And pirates like some of the shichibukai and around their level."

Nami perked up as Naruto finished."Well we found out this is actually the part of Jaya that disappeared." They talked about what to do for a while untill Luffy shouted."All right let's find the gold." Sanji smirked as he set his dish down."We woulde'nt be pirates if we didn't." After everyone started getting excited, Luffy jumped up to his feet."Gold, and it's all waiting for us." He exclaimed with his arms in the air.

Later.

Later everyone but Zoro, and Chopper who was looking for food, and Robin who was looking around the area was sitting around a fire."Man I'm bored." Luffy said looking at a pot of boiling water."Well you don't have to watch the pot, you can do something else." Naruto said sitting beside Nami as Nojiko put new bandages on his chest, and shoulder."Stop moving Naruto, we need to treat these burn's." Nojiko said finishing up.

"Hey we're back." They turned and saw Zoro, and Chopper with frog's, and fruit."And we brought food." Chopper said putting his basket down. Soon Robin came back holding a big crystal."Wow that's huge." Nami said now wearing glasses with her hair in pig tails. "Yeah but it's not worth anything." Robin stated as Sanji perked up from teaching Mai. "That's a salt crystal." He looked to Zoro."Hey I have a job for you." A moment later Zoro was sitting down holding a rock over the fire with his swords glaring at Sanji.

Sanji dropped the rock in the pot they were cooking in."Hey is the rock tasty?" Luffy asked as Sanji shook his head."No it just help's cooking it." Soon everyone was eating as Nami explained about the island once being apart of Jaya."So what does anyone remember from Noland's story?" Luffy raised his hand and jumped up and down."It had a gold city." Everyone face-palmed at that."It said something about the city being in the skull's right eye." Naruto said as Nami nodded and pulled the map of Jaya and Skypeia.

"See this." Nami put's both halve's together and showed that it made a skull."Well would you look at that." Naruto said looking at the map."Yeah so it should be here." Nami said pointing to the right eye that had a picture of a city on it."Are we sure it's still there?" Naruto asked as Nami looked to him."I mean that was four hundred years ago wouldn't someone have found it?" Nami waved him off."I don't think so."

Later as Sanji, and Zoro went to get more wood Robin spoke up."I think we should put out the fire." Luffy and Usopp looked back to her and smirked."You hear that Usopp? A rookie mistake." Usopp nodded and stood up."Yeah but it's not her fault she hasn't been in these kind of condition's before." Robin raised an eyebrow."What are you talking about?" Naruto sat down beside her and sighed."I'm sure it's stupid."

Luffy and Usopp dropped to their knee's as everyone sweat-dropped."You need to have a fire for camping." They continued to whine until Zoro and Sanji came back."Is this enough?" Zoro asked pointing to the big pile of stacked up log's."Don't worry wild animals are afraid of fire." He finished lighting a torch to use. Suddenly a bunch of eye's started staring at them. One of the animals walked out showing it's a white wolf with a scar over its right eye.

He started growling at Sanji."Hey Chopper can you translate?" He asked as Chopper started translating for the wolf. After saying insults to them Nami had enough and hit's the wolf on the head. The other wolves started growling but the one with the scar stopped them. Soon everyone was partying around the fire as Robin looked on from her spot."Aren't you going to dance?" Robin looked to her left and saw Naruto standing beside her.

She shook her head."No I'm fine." Naruto pulled her up and walked over to the fire."Now come on, you can't just sit there." He and Robin started dancing, and through out the night Naruto took turn's dancing with the women until the party ended.

Morning.

"I knew I wasn't dreaming." Usopp said as they were on the fixed Going Merry that was also in its original form."Who would do this?" Nojiko asked putting some of the food away."And how did they know this is what Merry look's like?" Naruto asked walking to the figurehead. After talking for a while Usopp, Chopper, and Naruto in the crow boat circled around the altar few time's to try to figure out how to get Merry down. Usopp pulled on his belt but Naruto stopped him."No that won't work, we need something stronger."

Naruto looked around and saw a fin."We can use one of the sharks to pull Merry down." Naruto picked up the pole they had along with some rope."Good thing I brought some fish from last night." He tied the fish on the rope and held it out."Hey Sanji get a hook ready!" He yelled, and before long the shark jumped out of the water."Now!" Sanji kicked the hook and grabbed the fin, and the shark pulled the Merry down the step's as Zoro cut's the rope. The Merry landed on to the clouds with a splash.

Later Nami was drawing a trail on the Skypeia map."There the exploration team will take this route, and we'll take the river around and meet up." She said as everyone looked down with Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, Robin, and Naruto now wearing a black shirt under his coat making the exploration team."Kitchi you stay on Merry and help protect everyone." Naruto said rubbing Kitchi's head.

Kitchi yipped and wagged his tail. Naruto stood up and kissed Nojiko."Be careful." Nojiko smiled at him."You too." He left with the other's as Mai came up to the railing."I'm jealous of you sometimes." Nojiko looked over to her."Why?" She asked as Mai smirked. "You have the cutest guy on the ship as your boyfriend, who treats you like a Queen." Nami walked over and smiled."Yeah I get jealous sometime's too." Nojiko smiled and picked up Kitchi.

The women all walked inside to continue talking about Naruto."So do we still have that whistle?" Mai asked going over to the counter in the kitchen to make a snack. Nami nodded."Yes if we run in to any of those priest we'll use it." They continued sailing for a while not noticing someone was watching them.

To be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading and sorry for the late update. The poll is Yes: 69. No: 56. Now I've changed the date to after this arc is finished seeing as the poll only had one vote in two weeks please go to my profile to vote. Truthfully I was going to have this be a harem, or at least a Nami/Robin and maybe Nojiko seeing as I didn't know if I was going to have her join at the time but thought about it. The only reason I didn't go the harem route was because it's my first story and I didn't know how to make it believable. Please send any idea's for anything I always welcome them.

Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter hopefully the next one will be out sooner, especially since winter will be here and I'll have more time to write seeing as it'll getting darker earlier and bad weather.

Talk to you later,

Lone Wolf out.
