Chapter 1

PROLOGUE

After downswing so long in Impel down, he forgot what it meant having a Nakama... In order to survive this hellish prison he entered a hibernation like sleep to conserve his strength... As he did so his soul was able to move freely so he left his body and returned to the sea but even so... It was still very lonely until he found one particular ship... It was called "Going Merry" when it first felt love he went to that ship... So in order to remember the word Nakama he sealed his soul in that ship until the day it was destroyed... Being in that ship for so long, going on adventures with the crew... He's never been that happy in his entire life. Now to the story of his days now back in Impel Down.

AT IMPEL DOWN, WITHIN LEVEL 6: ETERNAL HELL

DREAM END

Currently a lone inmate sat in a cell, in the deepest floor of impel down while shuddering at waking up. He has black wrappings all over his body with metal stakes struck deep into the wrappings that were on the ground. Along with chains wrapped around his scrubs body.

"How long have I been here... Days... Weeks... Years... Time really does fly by..." The man asked himself as his body twitched under the wrappings. The man looks up at the ceiling even through his face was also wrapped up.

"Ahhh... I remember... I placed my soul into that ship as my body hibernated... Going Merry... Eheheheh... I felt so free again but at last I'm still here... I made a miracle happen for what I've done... Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin... I wonder if you guys actually knew that I was really alive, my soul trapped back in this prison once again... Spending days or months here without you guys... Acting as your ship is no longer possible." the man whispered quietly but his head bows as he made sounds of crying.

"I can't even cry... I need water..." He whispered with a sad smile in his face.

"Guess I'm stuck here for my entire life time now... Sorry guys but I guess-" the man stopped immediately at hearing loud crafting sounds gaining his attention towards the cage.

"Wha... What was that?" The man asked himself in confusion.

"ACE!" When he heard that his eyes instantly open all the way under the wrappings.

"... Luffy..." Was all the man said as the wrapping suddenly began stretching like never before as they began ripping apart revealing the one inside it. He was a a little bony but even so his appearance was surprising. He was a Fishman with a distinctive shark-like appearance. He has pale blue-grey skin with scarfs on his body. His eyes irises were blood red and slitted along with having gill-like facial markings under his eyes, and more gills on his shoulders, and sharp triangular teeth. The man began moving slowly as he stretched causing his body to crack a lot. His hair was spiky dark blue with streaks of red through it.

"At last, Naruto D. Hoshigaki returns..." The now named Naruto said as he looks up, thirsty.
