East Blue: Dawn Island.
The sun was setting in the East Blue sky. Naruto was standing in front of a rocky cliff looking out at the vast, endless sea.
An island on an island somewhere in the sea. Naruto muttered to himself quietly as he looked at the horizon.
"Hey, I finally found you, alien boy!!" Another voice was heard in the distance.
Naruto turned to the source of the voice and found Luffy standing in front of him while panting from exhaustion.
"Do you know how much you made Makino worry about you??, you idiot!!" Luffy shouted angrily as he slowly walked towards Naruto.
Naruto's face darkened and then he shouted at Luffy, "Who are you calling an idiot??"
"Of course it's you!! You're the idiot who is ungrateful!! Makino saved you and the first thing you do is break down the door of her bar and run away from the village??!!".
Luffy shouted angrily and ran to Naruto and punched him hard.
Naruto fell hard from the impact of the punch and rolled on the ground.
Luffy stood in front of Naruto and raised his fist and said angrily, "Listen to me, you idiot!! You will come back with me to the village and apologize to Makino right now!!".
Naruto slowly got up then wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Luffy angrily then said "Not until I kick your ass!!".
Then he performed a seal with his hands and said "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!!".
Poof poof poof!!!
Ten clones of Naruto came out and rushed at Luffy angrily.
"Huh, that trick again??" Luffy said with a bored expression. Then he pulled his foot and said
"Gomu Gomu no Whip!!".
Luffy's foot extended and quickly kicked all the Naruto clones. The clones exploded into white smoke and disappeared instantly.
"What!! His leg extended!! What kind of ninjutsu is this??". Naruto asked in shock while looking at Luffy whose foot returned to its normal length.
Luffy stood up firmly then smiled at Naruto and said "It's my turn now".
Then he grabbed his shoulder and said "Gomu Gomu no".
Luffy quickly extended his arm backward then Luffy pulled it with the force.
"Pistol!!".
Luffy shouted in anger as his fist slammed into Naruto's face hard but a large wooden stump appeared except Naruto and took Luffy's blow.
The stump exploded into several small wooden pieces.
"Huh?? What is this? Where did the alien boy go??".
Luffy asked himself in confusion as he saw the collapsed stump on the ground.
"Over here you idiot!!".
Luffy heard Naruto shouting at him then turned to the source of the voice and saw Naruto lunging at him forcefully while a small blue ball was spinning violently on his right palm.
"Rasengan!!".
Naruto shouted as he thrust the Rasengan into Luffy's stomach.
Luffy quickly folded his hands in an x-position to protect himself.
The Rasengan slammed into Luffy's forearms then quickly spun around and broke through Luffy's defenses and hit his stomach.
"AAAAAAAHH!!".
Naruto shouted in anger and thrust his Rasengan even deeper. Luffy tried to hold on and gritted his teeth but was sent flying and spun violently in the air.
Luffy flew and crashed into several trees and rocks in the forest.
A large cloud of dust rose into the air.
"Take that!! You rubber idiot!!". Naruto shouted proudly as he adjusted his forehead protector with a smile on his face.
"Gomu Gomu no!".
Naruto heard Luffy's voice again and two long hands emerged from the dust and grabbed Naruto's shoulders.
"What??".
Naruto said in shock and then he was quickly dragged towards Luffy's location.
"Elastic Sweep!!".
Luffy screamed loudly and threw Naruto to the other side of the forest.
Boom
Crack
Kaboom!!
Naruto's body pierced through several trees and he landed hard on his face. Dust and smoke cleared from around Luffy.
Luffy's red shirt had a large spiral shaped hole and his hands were a little swollen and his mouth and nose were bleeding.
Luffy wiped the blood from his nose and mouth and then picked up his straw hat that was floating in the air and wiped it carefully then said while looking at Naruto
"Ahh you are really strong. I've never been this hurt before except from Grandpa's punches."
Naruto groaned in pain and got up with difficulty from the ground, then looked at Luffy angrily and said, "Don't underestimate me!! I am Naruto Uzumaki.
"The man who will become the Hokage!!".
Naruto's body was full of wounds from Luffy's blow and his left shoulder was dislocated.
But he stood stubbornly in front of Luffy without an ounce of fear.
"Oh really?"
Luffy asked while adjusting his straw hat on his head.
Then Naruto looked with a fierce smile and shouted, "Okay, don't underestimate me either. Because I am Monkey D. Luffy.
"The man who will become the King of Pirates!!".
Naruto grabbed his shoulder and snapped it back into place, then performed a seal with his hands and said, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!!!".
Suddenly, several white smokes exploded and thousands of clones of Naruto came out and surrounded Luffy from all sides.
"What??!!! This is too much!!". Luffy shouted in shock while holding his head anxiously.
"Get ready to be defeated, Luffy!!
"Uzumaki Charge!!"
Naruto shouted angrily as several clones rushed Luffy who smiled then swung his hands wildly and said Gomu Gomu no Gatling!!
Several punches flew around Luffy and punched several clones of Naruto.
But the clones just kept coming.
Luffy pulled his hands back then spun around and started punching and kicking any clones that got in his way but Naruto was able to overpower him due to his large number of clones and started punching and kicking Luffy.
Luffy was being hit from all sides.
Luffy stopped struggling and shouted
"Enough!!!"
He then extended his leg into the air. Luffy's leg stretched high into the sky then stopped in mid-air.
"Gomu Gomu no"
Luffy said slowly while enduring the blows from Naruto then quickly brought his foot down.
"Battle axe!!"
Luffy shouted angrily as his foot hit the ground.
"Boom!!!".
The effect was immediate as trees and stones shattered and the ground cracked and protruded like a spider's web.
All of Naruto's clones disappeared from the force of the blow. Only the original Naruto stood in front of Luffy as he looked at Luffy in shock.
Luffy smiled then said while snapping his fingers, "It will take a lot more than this to take me down."
Naruto's expression froze, then he smiled at Luffy as well, then said, "Don't get too cocky. You still haven't seen anything."
Luffy smiled excitedly, then said, "Show me what you've got."
Naruto performed a seal with his hands, then two clones appeared around him.
He then extended his hands behind him.
The clones quickly created a Rasengan in each hand, then disappeared.
"This is my strongest attack!!".
Naruto screamed, then quickly ran to Luffy.
"Gomu Gomu no!"
Luffy extended his hands behind him.
Luffy's hands quickly extended, then stopped. Luffy forcefully pulled his hands forward.
"Bazooka!!!"
"Double Rasengan!!"
"Boom!!!".
Naruto's rasengan collided with Luffy's attack and the whole place exploded.
The impact was immediate as Naruto was sent flying from one side and Luffy from the other.
A huge cloud of smoke rose and Naruto and Luffy fell unconscious on the ground.
Blood was pouring from their hands.
30 minutes later Makino found the forest destroyed by the battle between Luffy and Naruto and saw them like this.
"Oh no Luffy!!" Makino screamed worriedly then ran to check on Luffy and Naruto.
Fausha Village: is in Dr. Fekri's clinic.
Dr. Fekri looked at Luffy and Naruto then sighed tiredly and rubbed his temples and kept muttering incomprehensible words.
"What is it Dr. Fekri? Can you heal them?".
Dr. Fekri looked at Mayor Whoopslap and Makino and said "all the bones in their arms are broken and splintered and all the nerves in their arms are severed. If they were normal people, they would never be able to use their arms again. But they are two monsters in human form, one of them has an incomprehensible rubber body and the other has a supernatural healing ability. So they'll be fine".
Makino sighed with relief then looked at Luffy and Naruto worriedly.
"Tell me, Doctor, how long do you think it will take for them to heal?".
"Luffy's hands will take a week to heal when I put the splint on him. As for the little boy, it could take between two weeks to a month."
Dr. Fekri said with a thoughtful expression, adjusting his glasses and looking at Naruto and Luffy with curiosity and awe.
"After two months".
"What??!! What do you mean this is your meat?!! It was on my plate, you greedy idiot!!".
Naruto shouted angrily at Luffy who reached out and took the meat from Naruto's plate.
Hkhmkhm ijjgcj vddtesd ttchds thxundn yvijrj macukino. (Hmm, it's very tasty, thank you, Makino). Luffy said while his mouth was full of food.
Makino laughed and shook her head helplessly then said, "Why wouldn't you talk after you've finished eating, Luffy??".
"Hey, I'm talking to you, you idiot!!" Naruto shouted angrily and grabbed Luffy's thighs and pulled them hard.
Then Luffy and Naruto started arguing instantly in Makino's bar.
Makino sighed helplessly then punched Luffy and Naruto on their heads.
"Aaah that hurts!"
Naruto shouted in pain while holding his head.
"Hahahahaha". Luffy laughed at Naruto and said "Weak, I felt nothing at all."
Naruto looked at Luffy then shouted "That's because your body is made of rubber you idiot with one cell!!!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
Luffy laughed even more at Naruto's expression and started rolling on the floor.
"Makino!!" Naruto shouted to Makino with an aggrieved expression.
Makino sighed then said "Luffy no meat for today."
"Huh?? No meat??!! Noooo!!!".
Luffy stopped laughing and fell on the floor shouting in panic.
"Bhahahahaha take that you rubber head!" Naruto laughed hard at Luffy's expression.
Makino smiled as she looked at Naruto and Luffy. Then she remembered the past two months.
First, Naruto and Luffy woke up three days after their battle. They were in a miserable state.
When they woke up, they hated each other very much. But with time, they became friends with each other, especially when Luffy discovered that Naruto was a ninja.
[ Flash Back ]
"What?!! You're a ninja?!".
Luffy said excitedly while stars twinkled in his eyes.
Naruto stood proudly in front of Luffy and said, "Yes, I am a shinobi from the Hidden Village of Konoha. I belong to Team 7 led by Kakashi of the Sharingan. And I aspire to become the greatest ninja in the village.
"The Hokage!!"
"Ooooh!!! That's so amazing!!". Luffy shouted excitedly while clapping his hands.
Then he bombarded Naruto with several questions about ninja techniques.
"So, Naruto, where is Konoha located?" Makino asked Naruto while he was talking to Luffy excitedly.
Naruto's expression changed a little and became a little sad, then he said, "My village is located in the Land of Fire. In the Elemental Nations. But this place is not like the Elemental Nations or the Land of Fire. I don't know where my home is".
Makino's expression softened and she said, "Don't worry Naruto, you will find your home one day."
Naruto looked at Makino hopefully and said, "Really??!!".
"Yes,The seas of the world are very vast, your home might be on one of the islands."
Naruto's expression changed and he said, "But how can I find my home in this vast sea??".
"I heard that there is a legendary land called Wano where samurai and ninja live."
A new voice entered the conversation and it turned out to be Dr. Fekri who entered the bar and said with a thoughtful expression while adjusting his glasses.
Naruto turned to Dr. Fekri with great excitement and then said, "Really??!! And where is Wano?"
Dr. Fekri looked at Naruto and then slowly said, "In the Grand Line."
"The Grand... Line?" Naruto said in surprise and then turned to Makino and asked, "What is the Grand... Line, Makino?".
Makino opened her mouth and was about to reply but Luffy's voice interrupted her.
"The Grand Line is the most dangerous sea in the world. It is the sea where all pirates from all over the world go to find the legendary treasure of Gold Roger.
The One Piece".
Luffy said slowly with a serious expression as he took off his hat from his head and was looking at it with a serious expression.
"The legendary treasure? Gold Roger?? What is this stuff? I don't understand anything".
Naruto asked with a puzzled expression as he was looking at Luffy with surprise as it was the first time he saw Luffy with such a serious expression.
Doctor Fekri stretched his hands and said, "Let me explain to you, Naruto. Twenty years ago, the former Pirate King, Gold Roger, was captured and sentenced to death.
In his last moments, Gold Roger said that he left his greatest treasure and everything the world had collected on the Grand Line.
Since then, the Great Pirate Era began and pirates flocked from all over the seas, their goal being to search for Gold Roger's legendary treasure,
The One Piece.
Whoever finds this treasure will become the new King of Pirates".
Doctor Fekri finished his words and sat on the chair and looked with interest at Naruto and Luffy.
"King of.... Pirates??".
Naruto said in surprise and looked at Luffy with surprise and asked Luffy.
"Luffy you told me before that you want to become the King of Pirates does that mean you want to go to the Grand Line and get the One Piece before anyone else??".
Luffy smiled as he looked at his straw hat
"I give you this hat to you, Luffy take good care of it, it is my treasure and return it to me when you become a pirate of importance in the future".
Luffy remembered that memory when Shanks gave him his hat then he looked at Naruto and said.
"Yes that's right Naruto, as you can see just as you have your dream of becoming the Hokage, my dream is to become the King of Pirates and find the One Piece!!".
Then Luffy got up from his chair and looked at Naruto with determination then said "It seems our paths are intertwined Naruto because you want to return to your homeland, don't you??".
Naruto nodded then stood up and said with determination "Yes I will go to Wano Country in the Grand Line then I will search for my village and become the Hokage!!".
Luffy smiled then said " and I want to go to the Grand Line to find the One Piece, but I can't do it alone I need a pirate crew and strong comrades so let's head to the Grand Line together.
"Naruto Join To My Crew!!".
