"The most enticing things in the world of pirates, aside from the breathtaking scenery… are the incredible foods."
Naruto sat back in his chair, enjoying a skewer of pineapple at, a look of satisfaction spreading across his face.
Just like the vendor had said—pineapple at combined the tangy sweetness of pineapple with the rich savoriness of roasted at. Each bite burst with juicy flavor.
"Naruto-kun, this is so delicious!"
Robin's face glowed with happiness as she clutched her portion of pineapple at with both hands.
Having grown up under the oppressive roof of her uncle and aunt, she'd never tasted sothing so amazing in her life.
"This is nothing," Naruto smiled, launching into a story. "Out on the Grand Line, there's an island from the prehistoric era where dinosaurs roam—and their at is incredible."
"In Water 7, there's a legendary dish called Aqua at, smooth and tender like flowing water."
"Way up in the sky, ten thousand ters above the sea, there's the mythical Sky Island… their pumpkins can be drunk like juice…"
"..."
Naruto listed off the culinary wonders of the One Piece world.
Robin listened in rapt attention, her imagination flying beyond the horizon.
Not far off, the vendor and several passersby had stopped in their tracks, staring at Naruto and Robin with wide eyes.
"Wasn't that huge explosion from the tavern just now because of them?"
"Yeah, word is it was two kids…"
"Kaden the Leopard Cat was killed. He had a bounty of nine million!"
"Not just him—people say mbers from seven or eight different pirate crews were wiped out in that tavern…"
"..."
Whispers filled the street.
Fights between pirates were common, sothing people heard about every few days.
But two kids under the age of ten wiping out dozens of pirates?
That drew a crowd.
"Crap, the rest of the pirates are coming!"
Soone shouted, and the spectators quickly backed away in fear.
A hundred pirates marched forward, every one of them ard and angry.
At their front were the captains of several crews.
"Damn brats killed my n!"
"I'll skin them alive!"
"Arrogant little punks!!"
"..."
Each captain's face twisted with fury.
Naruto calmly raised an eyebrow, but didn't look particularly surprised.
He'd known from the start that those pirates weren't all from one crew—they were several groups drinking together.
Now, the captains had co for revenge.
"If only I had so standard ninja jutsu… but I didn't find those scrolls when I looted Konoha..."
Naruto stood slowly, a touch of regret in his voice.
He did have the Scroll of Seals, but the techniques in it were too complex.
Even now, he hadn't fully mastered Kakashi's Chidori—he relied on Busōshoku no Haki just to handle the lightning backlash.
"I could start working on Katon techniques next… though all I've got is Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu and Dai Endan…"
"Hachimon Tonkō is taijutsu and not good for large crowds…"
"Hiraishin... Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags... Edo Tensei… should've stolen so Uchiha scrolls for more fire jutsu…"
"..."
As he mused, Naruto lifted his right leg, infused it with chakra, and kicked forward toward the charging pirates.
"Rankyaku: Getsuga!" (Storm Leg: Crescent Fang)
A sharp arc of blue energy sliced through the air.
The captains' faces twisted in alarm. They drew their weapons and swung to intercept the attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The air trembled with explosions as the arc shattered mid-flight.
Naruto wasn't surprised.
His body was still immature. He couldn't yet unleash the full power of Rokushiki.
Seeing this, Robin crossed her arms.
"Dos Fleurs: Slap!"
Two tiny hands appeared on the captains' shoulders and smacked them across the face.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The captains staggered, dazed—but only got angrier.
Naruto kept kicking out more Rankyaku, but with each strike, his brows furrowed.
"Sothing's not right…"
He abruptly stopped and said,
"Robin, ti to go."
He reached behind him and pushed through empty air. Chakra surged, and a glowing spatial gate ford.
A Door-Door Fruit gate—one that led straight back to Ohara.
Robin nodded and dashed through without hesitation.
The pirate captains roared and charged faster.
"Don't think you can run, you little brats!"
Naruto sneered.
"Heh!"
He reached into his air door and pulled out a thick stack of explosive tags.
"You're not walking away from three hundred explosive tags."
The tags scattered like flower petals—each one glowing at the edges with ignited flas.
In the stunned silence that followed, they began exploding one after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Screams echoed beneath the blasts.
The pirate captains had no idea how dangerous explosive tags were—and now they were paying for it.
Wounded. Disard. Blown apart.
But Naruto had already stepped back.
His foot hit the threshold of the air door—
And then he vanished.
...
Ohara – Forest near the cabin
A shimring air door appeared in the woods.
Robin stepped out first, followed closely by Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, are you okay!?"
Robin's voice was tight with concern. Sothing about the golden-haired boy's face didn't look right.
Naruto shut the door behind him, then looked down at his hands with a frown.
"I feel… like the space around is rejecting ."
He'd felt it before—but it had been mild.
This ti, during the fight, it suddenly intensified. His entire body had felt heavier, like gravity had quadrupled.
"Rejection? Are you… sick?"
Robin asked, confused.
Naruto shook his head, eyes darkening slightly.
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, diving into his spiritual awareness.
There, he saw it:
The gate of the world within his mind had changed.
It was no longer the towering blue gate made of sea-water.
Now it was older, grander—a crimson torii gate like the ones found at Shinto shrines.
Two massive black tomoe symbols adorned its face.
"Ever since I arrived in the pirate world, this gate has begun to take on the shape of the Naruto world. On the other side… it must be the ninja world."
