Note: Another Pilot Project of mine. I recently got back to the OnePiece fandom after 6 years of Naruto but since it ended I am a bit dissapointed. For me the Naruto manga ended with chapter 699. I am NOT happy with the whole Boruto story. I am a sailor myself and try to get the correct terms for pirate/marine ships but I am not narrativ english autor and for me some or most of the vocabs are new. Try to understand me and I try to give you a good story. Naruto and One Piece are not from me. Ace wouldnt be dead if I had something to say.

A short review wouldn't hurt!


A short career

Captain Naruto Uzumaki. He was a proud young officer and Vice-Admiral Garp's best officer since many years. The young blond man counted 15 years and he was a master of Rokushiki, a fighting style he was taught already by his parents.

It was a fact in the marines that the blond didn't tell anyone about his family. For the Marines he was just an Uzumaki and they were right. By his mother's blood he was an Uzumaki but the Marines mustn't know that he came from a family full of pirates. His mother was the sister of Yonko and leader of the red haired pirates, the red-hair Shanks and pirate herself. His mother was known as crimson death Namikaze Kushina, married to another Yonko. His father was Namikaze Minato, leader of the flash pirates. His father himself ate the Senkou Senkou no Mi, a logia type devil that turned the man into a living flash.

His connection alone would have made Naruto a target to the Marines so he covered all his traces to his family with using his mother's maiden name. It allowed him to become a legal sailor. Unlike the rest of his family he wants to uproot the Navy legally in gaining ranks and taking names.

With his own ship, the Silent Hunter, he started into the world full of adventures. The blond well-built young man didn't knew his crew but he had a feeling that he and his crew would manage and become great. He was optimistic that soon he could argue with the higher ups about the global situation and that not all pirates were bad.

So there he stood. His whole new crew and he stood und the peer to their ship and listened to Garp's pricing that their new captain was a levelheaded and well trained marine with a bright future. Naruto's chest puffed in pride and he took his captain-coat and his first assignment. They had to meet up with the fleet at the Sabaody Archipelago. The fleet Admiral would take over the command there.

Naruto turned to his young crew and grinned.
"Set sails!" He shouted and the sailors sprinted to the ship and did their work. The Grand Line was waiting for them and their adventure started!


The fresh-Crew was wet to their bones. A storm had shaken the men on the ship and their main sail was ripped but one crew member already worked on that. Their shipwright worked hard on the mizzenmast because it was nearly destroyed. The only positive side effect was that they were a bit earlier than they had to be. But the fleet Admiral just had barked out orders and now the sailed next to the big ships of the admirals, threatened by the bow-wave every now and then. Naruto wasn't happy how his crew was treated but he was just a lonely captain in a fleet full of Commodore, rear and Vice- Admirals leaded by the Fleet-Admiral himself.

He endured the bickering and degrading comments of the higher ranking officers. He was a greenhorn that he knew but he wouldn't let them spit on his crews achievements because they sailed through a storm without complaining. The Silent Hunter wasn't made for storms on the Grand Line. Their ship wasn't made for the Grand Line at all.

But the captain was optimistic. The crew had faith in him and followed his command bravely. Naruto would fight for them until they got a bigger ship that would carry on the endurance of the Silent Hunter. They just needed someone giving them a thumb up and then they would bring justice to the world.

The blond captain nearly jumped out of his musings when the Den Den Mushi rang and he ran up to it.

"Uzumaki!" A Rear Admiral shouted and he winced.

"Sir!" He responded respectfully.

"We are facing a Yonko soon, Uzumaki. Fleet Admiral Sengoku sends your ship out for scouting. Use that chance to proof that you are worth your money." The Rear Admiral barked and the blond understood.

"I understand sir. We are going to set sails." He answered and shouted the commands. They sailed away from the island and to the open sea and half a day later the big marine ships followed. Naruto sighed at the sight of his higher ups in fire range. At the moment they were only cannon fodder and that was something that made the young captain nervous.

The sun downed and no pirate was in sight. The young captain made the shifts for the ship so the crew could sleep. The early morning shift was his and his first mate's shift and they watched the sun raising. And with the sun sails were seen on the horizon. Naruto shouted alarm and soon his crew was up.

For the blond the sight of these particular sails was horrible. The jolly roger of his uncle Shanks laughed at him dangerously and he jumped to the Den Den Mushi to inform the Admirals. But nobody picked his call up.

"Chester! Turn the ship around! That's red-hair Shanks and the Red Force! We have no chance against that ship!" Naruto yelled and his navigator turned the steering wheel. The Red Force closed the distance fast and was followed by a fleet of pirate ships, all of them bigger than the Silent Hunter. Naruto prayed that his Uncle wouldn't open fire until they were secure in the rows of the Admiral-ships.

He looked hopefully to the big ships of the Marine. They came fast and would soon confront the pirates. But suddenly the crew of the Silent Hunter was shook up by the crash of cannonballs into their ship. And the pirates didn't open fire! It was one of the Commodore ships that fired on them. Panic disturbed the crew and Naruto couldn't get them back under command. Another cannonball hit them from the Marine ships and destroyed the ship body underneath the waterline. The blond looked hopeless to his uncle but he knew he would die with his crew. Another cannon ball brought the Silent Hunter to her knees and the small scouting ship sank with her crew…


Shanks couldn't believe what happened.

They had seen the small ship that the Marines sent out and laughed. That was a lifeboat for a ship like his Red Force. He had to admit that the crew was brave enough to sail head first into their doom. The red haired pirate would have made sure to send the poor souls back to Marineford until they could get a bigger ship than that nutshell. He remembered the latter that Rayleigh Silvers had sent him from his nephew that he made it to captain.

Shanks wasn't happy that Kushina and Minato let their son go to the marines but they were family and family stuck together. And to achieve captain rank so soon within the Marines was rare. He was proud that his nephew would soon start to convince the World Government, that pirates and Marines could live with each other. The marines would hold the seas clean from criminals and the others could do whatever they wanted.

He hoped that Naruto didn't know that poor souls on the small ship because he wouldn't hear the end of that if the blond found out about that.

His crew laughed when to small ship turned on spot and sailed back to the Marine fleet. Good decision. Shanks watched in amusement how the Silent Hunter, Yasopp had told him the name when he could read it their Stern, returned to the fleet. His smugness vanished the moment the fleet attacked their members. The wind carried the panicked cries of the crew and the desperately commands of the young captain to them. But they were silenced when another cannonball hit the small ship.

"Shit." Beckmann whispered next to his captain who nodded.

"Why would they do that to their own?" Yasopp asked and lowered his head.

"To blame us. We are also in fire range." Shanks growled and they attacked.

The end of all was that the Marines had to swallow a defeat by the bigger fleet of pirates and they fled. No other ship was completely destroyed during the whole fight but a lot of pieces swan in the sea. Shanks looked for the remains of the Silent Hunter but the ship sank completely and most likely took everything with her. They prayed for the men.


Namikaze Minato sighed into his cup of morning coffee. He sat on the deck of his ship Hirashin and read the newest Newspaper. He snorted at the news about pirates being too cocky and some news about small criminals. His biggest interest laid on the news about the fight that his brother-in-law fought near the Sabaody Archipelago. The Navy complained about pirates winning the whole thing and that one of their newest captains was killed in action. Minato frowned at the thought of a green captain dying so soon. His own son just became captain...

We will remember the brave actions of the crew of the Silent Hunter who took fatal hits from the Red Force herself. Captain Uzumaki Naruto didn't stand a chance against Yonko Shanks and his crew.

Minato's blood freeze at the thought of his son being dead… He couldn't believe it. He just got the message from son that they were assigned to their first mission and it was his own uncle that killed him. Furry spiked within him and his Haoshoku Haki let the newer members of his crew crumble like burning leafs. He stormed to his Den Den Mushi to call Shanks. He prayed that the news was fake.
Shanks responded to his call and Minato growled furiously.

"Shanks. Did. You. Shot. The. Silent Hunter?" He asked in heavy breaths. He trembled in anger and fear for his son.

"Hello to you too, Minato." How is my little sis doing? Still nagging on your crew?" Shanks greeted and ignored the question.

"Answer, dammit Shanks! The newspaper reports that the Silent Hunter sank in your battle with the Marines! Naruto was on that ship!" Minato barked and hoped that his normally playful brother-in-law could see why he was so angry.

Silence…

"Shit. Does Kushina know? You know me Minato. I wouldn't shoot on Marines that surrendered. These marine-pigs shot on their own ship to blame us. I didn't know that the Silent Hunter was Naruto's ship. It's gone, Minato. We searched for survivors but the ship took everything with her into the sea. I am on my way. Kushina is going to be mad."

Minato swallowed the lump in his throat. Tears streamed down his cheek. It was his own fault that he allowed Naruto to go to the Marines. He truly hoped that their son could bring the change there.

"We'll wait for you, Shanks. Kushina is going to need you too." Minato said shakily and put the Den Den Mushi away. Like an undead he walked to his quarters where Kushina still slept. He sat himself on the edge and slowly shook his darling wife awake. Her red hair surrounded her like a halo. She smiled at him and opened one eye.

"It's too early Minato-koi." She mumbled and tried to get him into an embrace.

"Kushina. Please, something happened. You have to listen to me." He said, his normally soft voice trembling. She was wide awake the next second.


Shanks meet them half a week later and comforted his sister. Kushina still denied the fact that her poor baby died on the sea. The red haired pirates and the flash pirates held a sea burial for their fallen brother, son, nephew and friend.

"It is like being stabbed in the back when you turn around. Naruto knew that he had no chance against our fleet and turned around. It was already brave enough of him to sail on that nutshell of a scouting ship in front of the Marines." Shanks told his sight of the story. He knew that would fuel the pirates hate on the Marines and he hoped that they could pay the Fleet-Admiral back for what they had done to one of their own.

The two Yonkos were on war path and they wouldn't stop until the Marines paid.
