I Do Not Own Naruto Or One Piece


Chapter 1

(South Blue)

"Soo...? What do you think Garp-San?"

Ignoring the silver haired punk salivating behind him Monkey D. Garp stared at a young boy training in the courtyard of the academy.

"Who is that?" He asked pointing to the boy. The kid had been there in the morning when his ship had docked and he met his guide for the day and now almost eight hours later he was still down there punching a log.

Mizuki closed his mouth and peeked around the Vice Admiral his face morphing into a hateful glare at the sight of the blonde boy.

"That's Naruto."

Garp's eyebrow raised at the resentment in his guide's voice curious as to what the child did to get on silver hairs bad side.

Counting broken wooden posts in the courtyard and the amount of dirt and blood on the kid's hands this Naruto didn't look like he had left all day. "As a teacher silver hair should be happy."

If Luffy put this much effort into training he knew it would make him happier.

"He's the son of the pirate who raided our island seven years ago." Mizuki continued as Naruto broke another post in half. "No one wants him training but Sarutobi-san was the one who found him in the wreckage of the ship and apparently took a liking to the brat."

"Son of a pirate?" Garp watched as Naruto threw the broken top half of the post away and moved to the next post setting his feet and started punching again.

Turning around he walked away throwing a thumb over his shoulder as left. "Have him at my ship by sunset. I choose him."

"Wha..what?" Following after Garp Mizuki head snapped from the Marine and Naruto and then back to Marine. "Garp-san, Sarutobi-sama said the World Government could have anyone Chunin rank or under."

"Yes." Garp nodded. "And I choose him."

"B..bu..but, Garp-san." Mizuki stuttered racking his mind for any way to keep Naruto from being Garp's choice. Naruto would completely ruin any chance of their island securing a contract with the World Government. He was the son of a pirate, worthless and bound to the same road his parents took. Konoha would be shamed if the brat joined the Marines and then turned against them. He couldn't let that happen.

Clearing his throat Mizuki moved in front of Garp forcing the Vice Admiral to stop. "If you want someone the Marines can train themselves we have many other students in the academy. Smarter and better fighters. Naruto is at the bottom of his class."

"Doesn't matter," Garp waved a hand walking around Mizuki. "I already picked him."

"Dammit." Mizuki cursed watching helplessly as Garp left. How was he going to tell Sarutobi-sama?


Chapter 2

"Are you listening to me?"

Naruto rolled his eyes zipping up the depressingly small bag that held everything he owned in life. " I heard you the first three times Iruka-sensei. Don't act like a fool, rise in that ranks so that the World Government knows were strong and don't say anything bad about the village."

It wasn't hard to remember three things, why Iruka was so persistent as to keep repeating himself over and over again Naruto didn't know but it was starting to get on his nerves.

"He's lucky he is my teacher." Anyone else and he would have beat the crap out of them for being so annoying.

He was a ten-year-old Academy student being given away so the island could gain a better standing with the World Government and receive more contracts from all the countries that were affiliated with them.

"One hundred seventy nations will bolster the island's income, Naruto." Iruka continued walking after Naruto as the soon to be marine walked out of his apartment dropping his key on the dresser next to the door. "It is imperative that you show how strong of fighters we are. We're different from others and that makes us more valuable to potential clients."

"I know Iruka," "Naruto sighed speeding up his pace to a fast walk.

How could he not know? It was the first thing they learned at the academy after all. How their culture was centered around fighting for thousands of years and over time they had adapted to that way of life. It didn't understand the science of it but he got the gist. Compared to the other humans in the world, their body's were more developed for fighting.

His even more so given the circumstances of his birth and bloodline.

Reaching the docks Naruto looked up at the massive battleship that dwarfed all the others in the harbor. It was much larger than a normal Marine ship. The crow nests were shaped like a dog house; and the figure head was a dog head, which had a bone in its mouth.

"This is it." After years of pretty much being held prisoner on the "Island of leaves," he was setting sail once again to live life on the seas.

"Good luck Naruto," Iruka said setting a hand on Naruto shoulder. "You'll miss home at first but I think you will be fine."

"Thank you, Iruka-Sensei." Naruto bowed slightly before turning away keeping his old teacher from seeing the grin on his face.

He had been taken from his parents at three years old, barely old enough to remember them and then forced to live with hate and ridicule of his people his parents had wronged while the man who killed them tried to raise him.

Iruka was a fool for thinking he was going to miss this place but he was also the only one on the island who didn't see him as a spawn of his pirate parents. And one of his only friends so he would let the older man hold onto his beliefs that he didn't hate his 'home'.

"Oi, brat! Hurry up!"

"Garp." Naruto thought as he saw the slightly gray haired bulky man standing on the deck of the battle ship.

Walking up the large ramp connecting the ship to the docks coming to a stop right in front of Garp. Standing so close to the marine Naruto noticed how big the man actually was dwarfing his small frame.

Garp held out his hand to Naruto a plain white marine shirt without any decorations and a pair of blue trouser folded up with white shoes on top of them. "Bogard will show you to the barracks,

"Bogard will show you to the barracks," Garp said as Naruto took the clothes. "Starting tomorrow you will wear this uniform."

Reaching out Garp pulled Naruto's bag away and threw it overboard. "You won't need that anymore."

Naruto shrugged as his bag was left behind while the ship sailed forward. There wasn't anything but clothes anyway and now that the Marines were supplying uniforms he didn't need his old ones.

"Come," Bogard said leading Naruto across the deck to the ship's cabins.

Following after the perpetually scowling Marine who was even taller than Garp Naruto started asking the question he wanted answers to. Garp was the one he wanted to ask but since the old man pawned him off on his subordinate Bogard would have to do.

"How long until we reach Marineford?"

"We're not going to Marineford."

Naruto waited for Bogard to explain why they weren't heading for the Navy HQ but after another two minutes of walking in silence he spoke up asking for an explanation.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Garp-san requested for you to be his apprentice before you arrived. The Fleet Admiral granted his request." Bogard stopped next to a door with that had a broom closest sign hanging from it that was sloppily covered by a hand drawn a wooden sign that read 'chore boy'.

"You're barracks," Bogart said before leaving Naruto alone in the hallway.

Opening the door to his new 'room' Naruto set his uniform on the small desk beside the door and laid down on the little cot that took up the rest of the room and promptly fell asleep tired from training all day.

All through the night dreams of training and catching pirates ran through his mind. Commanding his own ship and sailing into the Grand Line chasing after the law breakers.

"Maybe this Marine business will be alright?"


Chapter 3

"This is not alright." Swabbing a wet op across the mud-stained deck of the battleship Naruto glared at the marines who were snickering a stomping deliberately hard to cause as much of a mess as possible.

Naruto gripped the handle of the mop tightly splintering the sides slightly. Three weeks he had been on this damn ship, and three weeks he hadn't been able to train.

The only thing he had been doing was chores. Sweeping, mopping and doing laundry along with other odd jobs around the ship like the dishes or burning the garbage.

"Really living up to my rank." He thought sullenly.

Chore Boy. He really should have seen his current predicament coming with a name like that.

"Oi, brat! Get over here!" Garp yelled from across the deck. Standing in the center of the ship sans cloak and jacket of his suit Garp rolled the sleeves of his button shirt up to the elbows revealing his massive forearms.

Placing his mop in the wooden bucket at his feet Naruto made his way across the deck wiping the sweat from his face eyeing the grin on Garp's face with justified wariness. From what he had heard and seen for himself since he had become the Vice Admirals 'apprentice' Garp always did what you least expected of him.

"Yes, Garp-san?"

"We're sparring today," Garp announced drawing an arm back.

Before Naruto could even process the words he was sent rocketing through the air slamming into the wall of the ship's cabins all the way on the other side of the deck.

"Goddammit." Naruto crawled back to his feet spitting a glob of blood from his mouth out onto the deck he had just cleaned.

"You're going to make me clean that, aren't you?"

"Yes." Garp leaped forward vanishing mid air, reappearing behind Naruto less than a second later smashing a fist down on top of Naruto's head sending him back to the floor.

Naruto rolled along the floor dodging Garp foot as it came down crashing straight through the wood. Grabbing onto Garp's ankle Naruto channeled his hidden energy to his hand electricity sparking around his the limb as Garp flinched slightly.

"Electro?" Garp kicked his foot out sending Naruto flying back to the center of the deck his small body bouncing across the wood like a stone over water.

With a pained groan, Naruto rolled over trying to get back to his feet again.

"You're half Mink," Garp stated as Naruto bloody and beaten fell back to the floor. "Wahahaha! How surprising! Never would have guessed brat."

"What of it?" Naruto spat, on his knees staring up at Garp. "My dad was a fox Mink and my mom was human."

Garp shrugged and grabbed Naruto by the arm lifting him off the floor letting him dangle an arm's length away.

"You don't have fur"

"Of course I don't have fur!" Naruto snapped swinging his free arm only for it to miss completely. His small arms not capable of reaching Garp with the distance between them.

"I said half Mink. I got the body of a human and the power of the Minks."

Garp dropped Naruto grinning at the glare he received from his apprentice. The kid definitely had a fire inside him, but without outer strength his inner power was worthless.

"Get up brat, we're not done."


Prologue is up! Next Chapter will be a time-skip and the one after as well.

Naruto's Devil Fruit is kinda set but not really so leave a review with any suggestions. Can be any of the three but the one I'm set on is Zoan as I think that fruit suits Naruto more because up until the Reasenshuriken and end of Shippuden Naruto has always been more of a hand to hand fighter. With his Rasengan and clones.

As for clones please no 'Clone Clone Fruit suggestions'. He will still use clones but in a different way.

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think:)
