One born on the Grand Line. One born in East Blue. These two people cross paths in a simple village with dreams that seem impossible. One wants to be King of the Pirates, while the other strives to be the Strongest Man in the World. Bonds are forged and they vow to travel the seas together when they are strong enough. Now they plan to turn the world upside down.
For those who picture a voice to go with the character, I would pick either Tony Oliver (Lancer/Cú Chulainn) or Crispin Freeman (Alucard) for Naruto's voice. You can choose for yourself.

The scourge of the seas….
The enemies of justice….
Sea dogs….
Throughout the years, pirates have been called many names similar to these. Brave people who ventured out to the seas in search of treasure and adventure and the greatest adventure could be found only in one place…
The Grand Line!
A vast stretch of ocean said to be the most dangerous place in the world and is commonly referred to as the "Pirates' Graveyard" by people from the four Blues because of this reputation. Where only the bravest of men and women sail in hopes of one day being able to say that they conquered this treacherous ocean, and make it to the final island; Raftel!
But, it never happened….
In the hundreds of years of history, not one pirate has managed to voyage across the Grand Line and come back alive to tell about this. The natural dangers of this ocean and the World Government's military sea force tasked with law enforcement, international security and military operations on the ocean, The Marines, made it difficult for any sailor to chart and sail this difficult sea. It seemed impossible.
….
Until one day,
A lone pirate crew, after sailing for years on the Grand Line, made to the final island! Pirates, Marines, Government officials and civilians alike were shocked that someone was actually skilled enough to make it back alive from this ocean alive.
Word spread quickly, and the name of the captain who lead this mad group of pirates was known throughout the world.
Gold Roger!
The world was in awe as everyone wondered what the man would do. Would he really stay at the top of the world? Will he rule all of the seas? And more importantly, what would the government do about this man?
The answer to these questions came a year after Roger and his crew conquered the Grand Line. When Roger shocked the world yet again, but it was not well for the Pirate King.
"PIRATE KING, GOLD ROGER ARRESTED BY MARINE VICE-ADMIRAL GARP."
"SENTENCED TO EXECUTION AT LOGUETOWN"
Pirate everywhere were shocked. Civilians rejoiced. The Marine and the World Government held their heads up high as they managed to capture the most notorious pirate ever to sail the seas. Everyone thought that Roger's death would put an end to a short-lived era, however…
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The sun was high in the sky as people lined out on the streets and made a wide path as marine guards blocked their way. People held their breath as they eyed five figures walking down the main road.
Four of them were guards, walking at a steady pace as they turned every now and then to the person in the middle of them. They were nervous.
In the middle of their little formation was a tall man with thick black hair that shadowed his eyes and a short, thick neck hidden beneath his long red captain's coat with a gold lining and shoulder pads. Beneath this, he wore a blue shirt and had a green sash around his waist. He wore a white cravat around his neck, dark blue pants, and black sea boots. His most prominent physical feature was his curved black mustache that made the man easy to identify.
The man who conquered the Grand Line, Gold Roger, was walking to his death.
Yet, he was not shaking in fear as lesser men would. No. Instead, he walked proud and tall like he was being welcomed into his hometown like a hero. A fierce grin adorned his face as he looked toward his final destination.
Built in the town square, towering above the large crowd that was gathered for the momentous occasion was a single platform that had two more guards standing upon it, however, unlike the others that held Roger's chains they held a long, bladed spear that was taller than either of them. The instruments of Roger's execution.
'It was quite the journey,' The Pirate King thought as he made his way up the stairs to the place of his demise. 'But, I have no regrets left in this world.'
He finally made his way up to the top of the platform and looked forward towards the town.
"Have you any last words? Roger." Looking to his left the man who conquered the Grand Line looked at the executioner who asked him and held his shackled hands up.
"Do you think you can you take these off? It's starting to chafe me quite a bit."
"I cannot do that!" The executioner stated with a serious face.
"Why would I run away now?" Roger said with humour in his voice as he chuckled at the man's reaction. "Hmm. That's a little saddening…" he trailed off as he took several steps forward before he kneeled down on the floor. The men took that as their cue and held the blades of their weapons in front of the ever-smiling man.
'My life may end here but my will won't.' Roger thought as he lowered his head a little. 'There are those out there whose actions will surely change the world.'
"HEY! PIRATE KING!" A voice in the crowd yelled out as Roger raised his head. "What did you do with your treasure? It's somewhere on the Grand Line, isn't it? You have it, don't you? The greatest treasure in the world!?"
"You there! Hold your tongue!"
"Your legendary treasure..." The people in the square held their breaths as they all knew what the man was talking about. "THE ONE PIECE!"
The people stayed silent as no one dared to say a word in order to listen to the Pirate King to see if he had anything to say about the matter.
They all flinched when they heard him start to chuckle before it turned into a loud, boisterous laugh that seemed to echo across the entire town. The man finally calmed down before directing his attention to the crowd. "My wealth and treasures? If you want it, I'll let you have it...search for it!"
"Be silent!" One of the executioners said as they both raised their weapons, ready to impale the man.
"I left everything in that one place!"
*squelch*

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The Pirate King, Gold Roger.
His death should have struck fear into pirates all over the globe, shattering their will to continue their lives as outlaws and to show the world the strength of the World Government and the Marines.
But that was not the case.
With his final words, Roger sparked the beginning of a new era on the seas. Pirate from all corners of the world set sail to the Grand Line in order to find the legendary treasure left behind by the greatest pirate that ever lived and claim the title of Pirate King.
This is The Golden Age of Piracy!
...
This story, however, starts twenty-two years after the start of this new age, in the weakest of the four seas. East Blue.
In the small Foosha Village in the East Blue, many of the villagers were gathered around the port, waving to an excited teen in a fisherman's boat. He was standing proudly waving back to the people.
"Goodbye Luffy!" Shouted a woman with green hair pulled back into a hair band leaving the bangs and an apron.
"See ya, Makino!" The young man chuckled while he continued waving back to the villagers. He had short, messy black hair underneath a simple straw hat with a red ribbon around the crown. He was dressed in a sleeveless red vest with short, blue trousers with cuffs, and sandals on his feet. The man was dressed in a sleeveless red vest, short blue trousers and a straw hat resting peacefully on his head. He had a scar with two stitches under his left eye and a wide grin.
[Pirate, Monkey D. Luffy]
"Don't go up causing trouble, you're already bringing shame to the village." Advised an elderly man with a simple yellow-collared shirt, khaki shorts and a fisherman's hat. He had a mustache and beard.
"I'll try not to. Shishishishi!" Luffy answered with his grin still on his face. "Well, better get going." He was about to go to the oars when he noticed a shadow overcoming the boat. Luffy turned around to see the Lord of the Coast looming over the ship.
"Don't think I've forgotten about you," Luffy spoke without a hint of fear in his voice, he then looked up at the sea king. "You were the one that took Shanks arm." He declared. As the mighty sea king launched forward Luffy pulled his arm back, "Gomu Gomu no…" just before the Lord of the Coast made contact with the boat Luffy launched his fist forward and connected hard with the sea king's face "Pistol!" With that punch, the sea king was sent a good 20 meters away.
The villagers cheered as Luffy managed to defeat a deadly sea king with a single punch.
"Alright! Time to get my crew, starting with my First Mate!" The straw hat teen said as he reached up to his hat and pulled out a small, folded up piece of paper with a single name written on it. "I hope this still works."
Romance Dawn!
A large cruise ship was making its way throughout the East Blue. It currently held a large party with some of the richest people in the East Blue attending. The sailors weren't allowed inside the ballroom, but that didn't stop them from having a few drinks outside. One of the sailors was currently in the crow's nest was looking out for pirates or anything unusual. As he was looking around he noticed a barrel floating towards the ship.
"Oi! Get that barrel out of the water. Hopefully, there's something of value inside!" The sailor told the other crewmembers down below. Doing as they were told, they heaved the barrel out of the water and placed in on the ship.
"Bloody hell, what's inside this thing, it weighs a lot!" One of the sailors carrying it said.
"Carry that to the…" The sailor started to say when he saw something in the corner of his eye, he turned to it and gaped at it when he saw it. It was a large pink ship, with four sails, one of them higher up than the other three. On each of the sails was a heart and the figurehead was a duck with hearts replacing the eyes. But the thing that scared him was the flag that was on the mainmast. It was the flag of the Alvida Pirates.
"Pirates!" The sailor shouted. The ship was immediately in a frenzy of panic. The crew members were desperately trying to calm down the passengers, but their efforts were in vain.
Pirates Ship
All of the pirates were lined up on the deck of the ship. With an extremely obese woman staring them down. She had freckles on her cheeks, and long wavy black hair under a white cowgirl hat with a large red plume, a red neckerchief, a pink plaid shirt, and a blue captain's coat over it with the arms in the sleeves. She wore rings on her fingers and her long sharp fingernails had red polish. She had a purple sash with a flintlock pistol tucked in it and some jewels. She also wore graying pants and red shoes with gold buckles.
[Pirate Captain, "Iron Mace" Alvida. Bounty: 5,000,000 Beli]
"Okay, boys! This is a good haul I'm expecting so don't let me down, especially you Koby!" She shouted at the crew, at the end eyeballing a scrawny looking kid with pink hair, glasses and looked completely out of place "It's looting time!" She raised s heavy and spiked iron mace. And with that, the raid began. The pirates were either jumping or zip lining across the gap.
While all of the others were out doing all of this, Koby was trying to hide from all of the chaos. He was looking around for something to take that wouldn't be risky. A barrel rolled past him and that's when he got the idea. He would take the barrel and then put it with the rest of the barrels of rum in the food and drinks storage in the ship and hide out there for the rest of the raid. Koby walked over to the barrel and attempted to lift it up, but couldn't even manage to pick it off the ground.
"What type of barrel of rum weighs this much?" Koby silently asked himself. As he knew that he couldn't lift it up, he settled for rolling it. Just before he got there three other members of the crew stopped him.
"Well looky here boys. It's our favourite little coward." one of them sneered. "You trying to duck out of all the action runt?"
"N-n-no. J-just getting some p-provisions is all." Koby stammered as the three men looked at the barrel he was rolling.
"Whatcha got there Koby?" The more muscular one in the group asked.
"N-n-nothing really. J-just getting some p-provisions for the ship." Koby stammered as the three men stood the barrel up on one end.
"We'll take it off your hands, brat. Probably some booze."
"B-but if Lady Alvida finds out-" Koby started to shout.
"She won't as long as you keep your trap shut. Got it!" yelled another pirate, his hand on his sword, causing Koby to agree in fear.
"Now let's get this bad boy open!" The muscular one cracking his knuckles in preparation and raised his fists into the air and just before he was able to smash open the barrel.
"What a great nap!" Luffy shouted as he smashed his way out of the barrel, knocking out the pirate in the process. Luffy looked at his surroundings, "Who is that?" Luffy asked before he looked back at the other pirates gaping at him. "Who are you?"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" they screamed.
"Your friend will catch a cold sleeping on the floor." Luffy said as he got out of the barrel.
"WHO DO YOU THINK PUT HIM THERE?!" they screamed again before pointing their swords at him. "Who do you think you are you brat? We're the ruthless Alvida Pirates and-"
"I'm starving. You know where the food is kid?" he asked Koby, ignoring the other two pirates.
"DON'T IGNORE US!" the pirates screamed as they brought their swords down on Luffy, causing Koby to scream. Luffy didn't even flinch as the swords broke at stuck to the ceiling. Both pirates fell back, looking scared.
"Jeez, what are these guy's problems?" Luffy asked to seemingly no one.
Both just stared in fright before they asked: "W-who are you?"
Luffy just smiled as he crossed his arms together. "Me. I'm Monkey D. Luffy. Hello." he said before the pirates grabbed their unconscious shipmate and fled. "Shishishishi." Luffy laughed before looking at Koby. "Those guys are funny. Oi, Pinky is there any food around here?"
"Y-yea t-there's some in the f-food storage." Koby answered, too scared to tell him off about what he called him.
"Cool! Let's go!" Luffy shouted. They walked to the food storage. Luffy literally jumped at the crates of food, "Mmmm… I wonder how much meat they have…" he wondered to himself as he started to drool. He was slightly disappointed when it turned out that it was just apples. He then jumped in a started chowing down on apples as Koby walked into the room.
"M-my name's K-Koby, w-what's yours?" Koby asked nervously.
"The name's Luffy. Nice to meet you." Luffy introduced himself.
"You really should leave. Those pirates will be back with their friends to kill you."
"Who were they?" Luffy asked.
"Those guys were pirates under the command of the lady pirate Captain Alvida. She's ruthless with that iron mace of hers and she won't hesitate to shatter your skull with it." Koby said as he started shaking in fear.
"Are you one of them?" Luffy asked. He saw Koby look at him and explain that it wasn't by will, but by accidentally boarding a boat of theirs, thinking it was a fishing boat and had been brought on as a cabin boy for the last two years.
"Why not leave?" Luffy asked.
"No way. Impossible, impossible. I can't escape from Alvida. Just thinking of what Alvida would do to me scares me so much I could throw up. Nope, nope, nope, no-"
BAM!
Luffy's fist shot out, nailing Koby in the head as he fell back clutching it. "Why'd you hit me?"
"Felt like it." Luffy said smiling. Koby just sat back up as he rubbed his head.
"Heh. Well, I'm used to it anyway. All the other pirates on her ship smack me around for laughs."
"So you're a coward and a weakling huh?" Luffy said with a laugh. "I hate people like you." Koby just hung his head in shame.
"Way to state the obvious Luffy," he said before looking back at Luffy. "So Luffy, what made you go out to sea?" he asked. Luffy smiled at him and answered without hesitation.
"To become King of the Pirates."
"What an ugly ship." A man told himself as he looked at the ship in front of him with a terrible figurehead. He could see a larger cruise ship next to it with the pirates raiding it. He was a tall, young man with lightly tanned skin, blond, spiky hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with a red-lined embroidered border and a popped collar, white pants, with a silver stripe running down the sides, as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces.
The man started to walk up the ship. When he got to the deck he had to deal with the grunts.
"Oi, what do ya think you're doin' here!" One of the lowly grunts questioned as he started walking up to the stranger.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for a someone, you might have crossed paths with him before. He's got a straw hat and a scar under his left eye." The man asked described Luffy.
"Look, kid, just cause you're weak doesn't mean I ain't gonna kill ya!" The grunt said when he got right in the man's face, despite the fact that he was shorter than the man.
"Funny, that's what I'm thinking as well." The blond said with a grin on his face.
"Wha-" He couldn't finish what he wanted to say before he was decapitated. The other pirates looked at the man's bloodied hand and saw the body of their fallen comrade roared as they ran at him. The man calmly walked over to them, keeping a grin on his face the whole time.
"Nagareshō." He instinctively weaved around all of their strikes, while he was gracefully palm striking, chopping and slicing them with his bare hands while taking no hits from any of them. Within minutes all of them were on the ground bleeding, moaning in pain.
"Jeez, I knew that you were weak but with your numbers, I thought you would've been tougher."
Further down, a couple of the other crew members saw the one-sided fight before them and paled as they looked at the blond man.
"What is that guy? He just took down half the crew without even getting a scratch!" one of the men quietly whispered to the other three.
"I don't know, and I don't want to find out."
"Let's just get out of here."
Grrrr!
The four men jumped in fright as they hear growling behind them and slowly turned back to see a terrifying sight.
"AHHHH!"
"Hmm?" The man hummed as he heard the screams coming from around the corner of the deck and watched as an animal made its way over. It was an adult-sized wolf with completely white fur, black eyes with pink pupils and he has two blue markings on each side of its face below the eyes which resemble horizontal scars.
"Terry. Where have you been boy?"
*Bark*
"Huh? What do you mean I'm getting sloppy? I took care of all these pirates didn't I?"
*Bark Bark*
"Please~ As if these bunch of weaklings could get the drop on me. They are as stealthy and strong as a six-year-old."
*Bark!*
"Now that's just rude. I thought that-"
CRASH!
"What the?"
[10 minutes earlier]
"You're...a pirate?" Koby croaked out.
"Yep."
"Crew?"
"Just me. I just started." Luffy said as Koby froze like a statue. Luffy smiled again as he waved his hand in front of Koby's face. "Oi! You still there?" He waited until Koby stood up and found his voice.
"The King of the Pirates is the title given to one man who has it all. Wealth. Fame. Power. That means that you're aiming for the ultimate treasure. You're going after the One Piece!"
"Yep." Luffy answered, smiling as Koby was freaking out once again.
"No way no way no way no way! Millions of other pirates are after that prize and you're only one person. It can't be done! Impossible, impossible, impo-"
BAM!
"Why'd you hit me?"
"Felt like it," Luffy said as he took his straw hat off his head to stare at it. "I made a promise to a great man one day be King of the Pirates. And if I die trying, then I'll die." he said, smiling without a hint of hesitation in his voice. He looked out of the corner of his eye to see Koby looking at him.
"Your...dream?" he said before he looked at the ground in thought. Luffy just waited for Koby to speak what he remembered him asking. "Luffy. Do you think...if I tried...that I could be a marine?"
"A marine?" Luffy asked with a look of surprise as Koby looked at him with determination. "It's always been my dream to be a marine and hunt down criminals! I know it would mean we'd be enemies, but do you think I could do it?"
"I don't know. You won't either if you don't get off this boat." Luffy answered back as he headed for the door.
"Then I'll do it. I'm not gonna be Alvida's cabin boy forever. I'm gonna join the marines! And then I'm gonna catch Alvida first!" he screamed before the ceiling above him caved in, causing him to panic and run, his courage going out the window in spades.
"Who are you going to catch, Koby?" said a gruff woman's voice as the debris cleared, showing a fat woman with more chins that stars in the sky. She looked over at Luffy before grinning. "Who's this runt? He doesn't look like pirate hunter Zoro." Alvida said before she barked Koby's name, making the boy cower in fear. "Who is the most lovely woman on the seas?"
"W-w-why that's y-you Lady Alvida?" Koby stammered. Luffy blinked a few times before he pointed at Alvida with a surprised look and asked: "That's a lady, Koby?"
The pirates, Koby, and Alvida just gaped at Luffy as the pirates looked frightened as Alvida growled before snapping.
"BRAT!" she screamed as she brought her iron mace down towards Luffy, who quickly jumped out of the way.
"Let's go." he said to Koby before grabbing him by his shirt collar and jumping out of the hole Alvida made. When Luffy landed on the deck he thought that he would have to fight all of Alvida's men. But instead, he saw all of the crewmembers bloody and beaten, some of them dead.
"What happened here?" Luffy asked eyeing the fallen men.
"Well, well, well. I didn't expect to meet you here of all places, Monkey D. Luffy." The two people looked behind them to see a blond haired man walking up to him.
"You…" Luffy trailed off as he knew the blond haired man.
[Flashback]
"Oi. Why did you try to save me back there? I could've handled them on my own. You could have gotten hurt, or worse."
"Nah. I can't be killed that easily."
"But you could have."
"If I died here, then I wouldn't be able to achieve my dream."
"Dream?"
"One day, I'm going to head out to sea. I'll sail the Grand Line, and then, I'm going to be the King of the Pirates!"
*ACH!* "Wh-What? King of the Pirates?"
"Yeah."
"Now I know you're an idiot. That is impossible."
"OI! Who are you calling an idiot you bastard? I'll kick your ass!"
"Hahaha! You'll kick my ass huh? That is something that is also impossible."
"Nani!?"
"If you kick my ass, I wouldn't be able to achieve my dream."
"Your dream? What is that?"
"You wanna hear it? Fine. My dream is…"
[Flashback End]
"I'm gonna get you! You bastard!" The three heard the screams of Alvida as she came up to the deck. She was horrified by the sight that she saw, "Straw hat, I'm gonna kill you!"
"Uh-oh." Luffy grabbed Koby and moved out if the way as Alvida swung her mace down at the blond man.
"Look out!" Koby screamed as Alvida's mace hit the man head-on.
"Watch where you swing that thing will ya?" The man said as the mace slowly moved, showing that he was completely unharmed and holding the weapon off with one hand. "You could seriously hurt someone with this."
"What!?" Alvida screamed in shock as she tried to put more weight behind the attack. "Who the hell are you!?"
"Naruto!" Luffy exclaimed as he saw the blond easily hold off Alvida's attack.
"Hey there Luffy. I see you're doing well, as usual." Naruto said as he casually pushed the mace and woman back with enough force to send her stumbling back and falling on her behind. "Oops, I guess I should be calling you 'Captain' now, shouldn't I?"
[Martial Artist; Pirate, Uzumaki D. Namikaze Naruto]
"I don't really care about that, I just care that I got to meet you so soon," Luffy said as he made his way over to the blond. "I'm glad you've gotten stronger too."
"Of course. I have to if I want to realise my dream, Mister King of the Pirates."
"Shishishishi!"
*Bark*
"Oh, yeah. Luffy I' like to meet Terry." Naruto gestured to the wolf walking up behind him. "He's been with me for over a year now."
[Battle Wolf, Terry Cloth]
"Sugoi~!" Luffy looked at the animal with stars in his eyes while Koby looked pale and nervous.
"Hold it, you straw hat bastard!" Some of Alvida's men crawled up from below deck and spotted the downed form of their captain and immediately set their sights on the young man.
"Uh, oh." The pirates charged him, but Luffy easily took them out without breaking a sweat until they all charged him at once. Luffy ran off, feigning fright before he grabbed the mast, stretching his arm out, causing the pirates to stare at Luffy who looked back with a smile. "Fooled ya." he said before they all freaked out and ran away.
"Gomu Gomu no Rocket!" Luffy shouted before slamming into them all, scattering them all over the deck with Naruto batting some that flew his and Terry's way. Koby just stared at Luffy before asking "W-What are you Luffy?"
Luffy stretched his cheek out as he said: "I'm a rubber man."
"Rubber...man?" Koby asked before he looked behind him and shrieked at the sight of recovered Alvida.
"You've eaten a Devil fruit, haven't you?" Alvida asked.
"Yep." he replied as he let his cheek go.
"Are you a bounty hunter?"
"No. I'm a pirate."
"Is that so?" she said with a smirk. "Well if you're a pirate, then that makes us enemies right?"
"Yep." Luffy said with a smile. To the side, Naruto looked out of the corner of his eye to see a figure move along Alvida's ship. He quirked an eyebrow before Koby got his attention. "Luffy, Naruto, I'd run if I were you."
"Why?"
"Why? Because Alvida is..." his voice trailed off as he stared at Luffy, remembering what he said before. Luffy kept a blank face as Alvida smirked.
"I'm what Koby?" she asked. Koby looked back at her, determination on his face as he shouted.
"ALVIDA IS...THE UGLIEST SEA HAG I'VE EVER SEEN!"
Luffy just laughed and Naruto smirked as Alvida looked ready to explode in anger as she glared at Koby. "What was that runt?"
"That's right! You're ugly! And also, I'm through being your cabin boy. I'm getting out of here and joining the marines!" Koby said as his courage soared.
"Do you have any idea what you're saying brat?!"
"I know what I'm saying! I'm gonna fight for my dreams from now on. I'm gonna join the marines and catch criminals. AND IM GONNA START WITH YOUR UGLY ASS FIRST!"
"ENOUGH!" Alvida shouted as she raised her iron mace. Koby screamed but stayed put.
'Well, at least I was honest at the end.' Koby thought to himself. He was gonna fight for his dreams, even if it meant death.
"Well said Koby." Luffy said as he stepped in front of Koby, taking the full force of the hit.
"LUFFY!" Koby screamed, terrified at the thought of Luffy getting killed.
"Relax kid," Naruto told him as he and Terry walk up beside him. "There's no way Luffy can be killed by a weak attack like that," Naruto said as Luffy just smiled under his hat.
"Sorry, but that won't work on me!" Luffy's voice reached Coby and Alvida's ears.
"What!?" Alvida couldn't believe that someone could be on the receiving end of one of her attacks and live as Luffy slowly lifted a hand to the to her mace.
"It's because I'm rubber." he said before he pushed her mace out of her hands as he pulled back his fist across the whole deck, "Gomu Gomu no…" he launched his fist right into Alvida's torso, sending her flying off the ship and into the sky, "Pistol!"
Luffy's arm returned to normal before he looked back at Alvida's men. "Bring Koby a boat. He's joining the marines." Luffy said as he glared at them all.
"Uh...well." one of the pirates said, looking nervous.
"Well, what?" Luffy asked. He was still glaring, but inside he was confused as to what could be the problem.
"Looks like some of that iron mace struck the lifeboats," Naruto said as he pointed to the now useless boats.
"Oops," Luffy said before cannonballs started raining down around them.
"It's the marines!" Koby shouted as three marine vessels closed in on them. "If they find me on this boat, my dream will die before it starts!"
Naruto smiled as he put a hand on Koby's head and got his attention. "Don't worry squirt. You're joining the Marines for sure," he said before he jumped onto the railings. "Come on Luffy. I got a boat on the other end of the ship."
"Alright!"
*BOOM!*
The sounds of cannon fire and slashing water rung out as Naruto ran up the edge of the deck and leapt towards his boat, Luffy followed suit by launching himself with a Gomu Gomu no Rocket while holding Koby and Terry.
"This is a nice ship. Do you think it will hold up in the Grand Line?" Luffy said as they landed and looked around the small vessel.
"I seriously doubt it, just grab an oar and let's get out of here," he said as he furled the sail and grabbed an oar for himself, rowing away as fast as they could. After about 5 minutes, Naruto and Luffy finally stopped rowing and looked back to Koby who had woken up after a while.
"Well, that was fun," Luffy said with a smile.
"No, it wasn't!" Koby screamed at him, causing the teen to laugh and the blond to smirk.
"If you are going to be a marine you'll have to get used to stuff like that, you know," Naruto said, before looking at his new captain. "So, where are we going anyway?" he asked. Luffy smiled at him before answering.
"Do you know where the closest Marine base is?"

I hope people like the chapter and how I have portrayed the character in it. I realized that I may have been too quick to write my other stories (Fallen Dragon and Slayer of Dragons and Gods) because of the plot and challenges behind some of them, but I hope to do better with this story and others I have thoroughly planned out.
I will focus on this story since the East Blue Saga is an introduction and is easy to write for in some parts, so I really hope you all enjoy.
Naruto will not have a devil fruit in this story so don't ask if he will have one later on as the answer will be "no".
More of Naruto's backstory and abilities will be revealed as the story progresses so stay tuned.
Review and tell me what you all think. Flamers will be ignored or eaten by Terry.
Till next time!
