"Hahahaha..."
"Seashells, crabs, jellyfish..."
"This is the world of One Piece, hahahaha..."
The blond boy ran wildly on the beach, his excitement growing.
Although the Naruto world also has oceans, Konoha is located in the central part of the continent, a vast distance away from the sea.
In the past, he had only seen rivers and streams.
About two hours passed, and the blond boy remained enthusiastic, but he gradually sensed something was wrong.
"Why are my emotions so high..." Naruto stopped, staring incredulously at his reflection in the water.
Having lived in Konoha for six years, he believed his personality was quite composed.
Even if coming to the world of One Piece was exciting and thrilling, it shouldn't have made him this excited.
He'd even been running aimlessly for two or three hours…
After studying the surroundings for a few minutes, Naruto finally realized what was happening. He looked up, his lips twitching as he surveyed his environment:
"Damn, I'm oxygen intoxicated…"
When humans move from low-oxygen areas to high-oxygen areas, they experience oxygen intoxication, a phenomenon similar to being drunk, due to their inability to adapt quickly.
Symptoms include, but are not limited to, hyperactivity, fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, chest tightness, dizziness, and diarrhea…
After looking around, Naruto looked away, rubbing his temples speechlessly:
"I came from Konoha, and Konoha is the most lushly vegetated area in the entire ninja world…"
"For me to feel oxygen intoxicated, just how high is the oxygen level in this area—no, in the entire One Piece world…?"
"With such terrifying oxygen levels, no wonder there are those huge monsters…"
"…"
After understanding the reason, Naruto looked around twice, preparing to find a safe place nearby.
After all, oxygen intoxication doesn't just cause euphoria; it also brings a host of adverse reactions, requiring an adjustment period.
"Let's go to that forest over there..."
Naruto hurried towards it, opening an air portal to retrieve some supplies.
As he approached the forest, Naruto suddenly stopped, staring in surprise at the distant buildings.
"There are actually people living on this island!?"
For the first three days after his arrival, he had been observing the scenery through the cracks in the door every day.
But he had never seen a human.
"This is bad. Humans mean danger. If this is pirate territory, the danger level will be even higher..."
Naruto frowned slightly, taking out a kunai with his left hand and attaching an explosive tag to it with his right.
After preparing, Naruto entered the forest.
The forest was filled with towering trees, their branches lush and verdant, but the center was quite open, with a few white rabbits occasionally darting by.
Naruto stopped and turned his gaze to the girl sitting on a tree stump in the center of the forest.
The girl had short black hair, wore brown clothes, and her exposed skin was a wheatish hue. She sat quietly on the stump reading a book.
"This is... Nico Robin!?"
A look of surprise flashed in Naruto's eyes. He hadn't expected to encounter the young version of the Devil Child.
"So, this island must be Ohara from the original One Piece story, destroyed by the Navy using the Buster Call..."
Naruto looked up at the center of the island and, sure enough, saw a large tree.
Even though the surrounding trees were towering, they all seemed incredibly small compared to the tree in the center of the island.
Withdrawing his gaze, Naruto walked towards the young Nico Robin.
His footsteps startled the girl. She put down her book and looked at Naruto with some surprise:
"Who are you? I've never seen you before?"
The girl's voice was very gentle.
Naruto thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was just swept ashore by the waves, so it's normal that you haven't seen me."
Little Robin's face lit up with realization:
"So, you were shipwrecked, weren't you?"
The oceans of the pirate world are treacherous and unpredictable; one moment it's clear skies, the next it's raging storms.
Many ships perish on such seas every year.
Although the girl had never witnessed a shipwreck, she knew about them from books, so she quickly ran over, asking with slight concern:
"Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere? Should we go find a doctor?"
Looking into the girl's worried eyes, Naruto involuntarily closed his own, feeling a warm current flow through his heart.
"So gentle..."
This kind of caring tone was something he had never experienced in Konoha.
Naruto opened his eyes, smiling and shaking his head:
"It's alright, I'm not hurt. Let me rest here for a while."
Seeing that Naruto didn't seem injured, Robin was relieved and let him sit on her wooden post.
Naruto then chatted with the girl while refining his chakra:
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, what's yours?"
"My name is Nico Robin!"
"That's a nice name. Do you like reading?"
"Yes, I like reading because books have everything, and they let me know a lot about things outside this island."
"I see. Do you want to leave this island?"
"No, Professor Clover and many other scholars on this island have been very kind to me. I don't want to leave this island."
"Then why do you want to go to sea!?"
"I... my parents are out there, and I really want to go find them..."
"..."
After refining some chakra, Naruto opened an air portal in front of the girl.
To the girl's surprise, he produced sushi, sashimi, grilled meat… and other foods with exceptionally short shelf lives.
Then he took out a grill, placed charcoal on it, and grilled slices of meat.
"Naruto, you… you also have a Devil Fruit ability!?" Little Robin's eyes lit up as she looked at Naruto with delight.
"Yes!" Naruto smiled and nodded, casually placing his right hand on the tree. "I have the Door-Door Fruit; I can open many doors."
As he spoke, Naruto gave a slight push with his right hand, creating a revolving door on the tree trunk.
The center of the tree trunk immediately began to spin.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Little Robin excitedly watched the spinning tree, unable to resist walking over and passing through the revolving door.
After two or three minutes, Little Robin reluctantly returned, looking at Naruto expectantly:
"Naruto, I… I'm actually a Devil Fruit user too! Do you want to see my Devil Fruit ability!?"
