Chapter 1

This is a story of four great heroes… a story of their glory and their downfall. Naruto Uzumaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Son Goku/Kakarot, and Monkey D. Luffy all will soon receive a notice saying they are needed at a marked location. This is the story that may change their view on their own lives and the lives of others…

Naruto Uzumaki stood outside waiting on Hokage, Tsunade to let him in. He stood patiently as he had been told he was assigned a mission to himself, without Sakura, Sai, Yamato, or Kakashi. The door finally opened and the voluptuous Hokage walks out with a scroll in her right hand. She looks up to Naruto and hesitantly hands him the scroll,"Naruto… This is probably going to end up being a seriously dangerous mission. There isn't really any information about what your mission is but there is a map of where you need to be". Tsunade turns away back to her office, "It's a long way off the coast, Naruto… That means you'll have to move fast if you want to make it there on foot".

Naruto looks to her and places a hand on her shoulder, "I'll be fine, Grandma Tsunade". Naruto's hand slips from her shoulder as he turned away. Tsunade tried to turn fast enough to catch a glimpse but he was already gone. Naruto took off toward the front gates of Konoha with a few supplies to last him for a few days. Inside of himself, he walks to the gate Kurama, the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, is held behind and unlocks the door. The fox slams its giant paw down in front of Naruto and his red eyes could be seen glaring down. On the outside Naruto's body is suddenly engulfed by a bright yellow flame-like substance and Naruto dashes off, seemingly, at the speed of light…

Ichigo Kurosaki wakes up in the morning to his father's regular shenanigans. He goes about getting dressed, brushing his teeth, and half-ass combing his hair. He goes down stairs to see his mother looking through some mail. It was a weekend so it wouldn't have been unusual for Ichigo to have slept till late. She stops at a letter signed to Ichigo and begins toward him.

"Here you go, honey", Mrs. Kurosaki said handing him the letter. Ichigo opened it and all of a sudden an empty feeling makes his way through his body. He was leaving his body behind for some reason! He jumps back in and closes the letter.

"Thanks mom… I'll read it later", Ichigo yawned.

"Where are you off to?" Isshin asked Ichigo.

"To bed… I'm tired still", Ichigo walks past his father and back up to his room. Ichigo quickly jumps into his bed like he's going to sleep and then opens the letter, again, removing his spirit from his body. Ichigo rises in his substitute shinigami attire and looks at the letter. His chocolate eyes widen slightly and he takes off through the window. Ichigo jumps from building to building and then suddenly shunpos into nothing.

Goku was just getting back from his last round from the store. His wife, Chi Chi was making his favorite meal for dinner and they were missing a few ingredients. Goku realized as he was flying home that he hadn't seen his master, Roshi, in a while so he decided to drop by. What Goku wasn't expecting is someone had already dropped by… right into Kame House! Goku lands calmly just in case an enemy was there and had done some serious damage.

He places the groceries down by a palm tree and tip toes over to the window. He pokes his head up and sees a beaten, bruised, and just destroyed Yamcha. Goku then dashes through the front door, pulling it off the hinges, and rushes to Yamcha's aid. "Yamcha! Can you hear me?" Goku asked grabbing the back of Yamcha's head and his back.

"G-Goku…" Yamcha coughs, "Here-re-re…" Yamcha's hand raised and then dropped as a piece of crumpled up paper hits the ground and rolls. Goku puts his friend's body down, no longer feeling his life's presence and picks up the paper. He unfolds the paper only to show a map with "be here" written in what looked to be blood. Goku grips the paper and takes off full speed to the sky practically what was left of Kame House. Fortunately enough, Master Roshi was not there and was not injured… But Yamcha was dead… and Goku wanted redemption for his friend…

Somewhere off on the seas, a ship with a Jolly Roger flag with a straw hat on the skull sails by. The smell of gourmet cooking lingered about the ship and the sight of a couple beautiful women in bikinis leaves the chef almost in tears. A swordsman and a cyborg make their way to the front deck and chill out. A small bipedal reindeer, a skeleton with an afro, and a muscular male with a long Pinocchio-like nose make their way with the others. Finally, the captain shows.

He wears a straw hat and a large red coat and walks to the deck eerily. His hat lifts revealing a wide smile and then he completely lifts his head showing the captain was none other than Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy jumps up and the crew continue to have a good time. As Luffy turns to speak to his chef, Sanji, a piece of paper caught in the ocean wind slaps itself onto Luffy's face. Luffy jumps back and the paper continues to fly off; it begins up high and then a hand reaches out of the mast. Several hands come out down the mast and they pass the paper back down to Luffy.

"Thanks Robin", Luffy said speaking to the older of the two women. Luffy opens it up and sees it is a map, "Oooh! Nami! Nami! Nami! Nami!" Luffy yells out as he begins to dance around. The red haired woman stands up and walks to Luffy.

"What is it?" Nami asked walking beside Luffy.

"It's a treasure map!" Luffy yells out in excitement, "It could lead to Gol D. Roger's treasure!"

"I don't know, Luffy… Doesn't it seem a little-", Nami started.

"You're my navigator; so I need you to get this ship to this spot", Luffy said pointing to the X on the map. Luffy had to get Nami to do this considering he has NO sense of direction at all.

"Alright, Luffy… We'll get there", Nami said throwing a towel around her waist.

So now the four heroes are on their way to the mysterious location: Naruto for a mission, Ichigo for an unknown reason, Goku for revenge, and Luffy for curiosity. Little did they know… that their whole world very well could come crashing down on them…
