Yo! This is another story from Quizilla from two to three years ago. Don't hate, but if you want to criticize me, by all means, please do. This is meant to..entertain. It's honestly not the best, but hey...it has a plot. Remember, I don't own this, blah blah blah...Happy reading!
Naruto was the boss of some very important ports in Kohona. His best friend, Sasuke, was his second in command. They were in his office when Konohamaru, Naruto's apprentice, ran in.
"Hey boss! There have been some pirates near our ports!" He yelled as Naruto stood up.
"REALLY? WHERE?" Naruto grinned. Finally, some action!
"Well, boss, our soldiers are fighting them right now, down at Port Shrimp Ramen."
"Darn, it's too far away." Naruto pouted. Just then, a soldier ran in.
"Sir, the pirates had fled, but we caught their Captain." The soldier said.
"Really? BRING HIM IN!" Naruto commanded. He waited for a few minutes as the soldier shouted for one of his colleagues.
"Here he is, sir." The soldier bowed as a man was brought in. Naruto blinked in surprise. The pirate had his face down, facing the floor. He had on ragged clothes, a hat, and a sword by his side. His hands were tied behind his back and he looked a bit young to Naruto.
"THIS is the pirate that was leading the other pirates?" He said with shock. The pirate looked up at Naruto and scowled. There was a blindfold with holes covering most of his face, except the nose and his mouth.
"Don't underestimate me, ye old… landlubber." He growled. His voice was deep, but halfway through, it cracked. It had that pirate accent in it, but it was very faint. He was using those strange terms, but it probably didn't mean anything.
"Ok…SOLDIERS! AND KOHAMARU! Leave us!" He commanded. He looked at Sasuke.
"What do you want, loser?"
"I wanna know what we're supposed to do with the pirate. Hey, you got a name?"
"Yeah, Grape Jelly. Captain Grape Jelly." The pirate said. Naruto looked at him. Was he joking? To his surprise, the pirate's face was calm.
"Er, okay Grape Jelly. Why were you attacking the ports?" He asked.
"I don't have to tell you anything." Grape Jelly smirked.
"…Whatever. Sasuke, you're in charge of him. I'm hungry. See if you can get some more information out of him." Naruto said before leaving.
Sasuke's p.o.v.
That loser. Now I have to do his dirty work. "Hn."
"So, Sasuke, is it? Listen up, matey. Just wanted you to know that you ain't getting anything outta me." The pirate grinned as he shuffled closer to the desk. Up close, I could see that his shirt was ripped at the sleeves. The mask on the pirate was a dull gray.
"Is that so?" I asked bored.
"Yep." He answered, popping the p.
"Sure." All was quiet after that one word. I looked at the man in front of me, examining him. He seemed a bit thin. The clothes he wore were baggy on him. "So, why did you attack the port?" I finally asked.
Grape Jelly's p.o.v.
Attack the port? Ha, I got better things to do. I thought back to what got me into this mess.
TWO HOURS AGO
"Grape Jelly, what are we gonna do today?" Apple Pie, a forty year old man asked. I looked at him wearily. Although most of the people on this ship were older than me, they made me the captain.
"Eh, I'll get back to you on that, mate." I answered. Apple Pie nodded and was about to leave me alone when I called out to him. "Could you bring Creamed Cheese to me?" I asked. He nodded and quickly walked away. A moment later, Creamed Cheese appeared.
"I don't get why we had to be named after food, Cap'n." Was the first thing he said to me.
"Because. None of the pirates here want to give out their real name, so I thought of some fake name. However, I was purty hungry when I thought of these." I explained.
"Yeah, but why am I Creamed Cheese? I hate that stuff. It's food for landlubbers." He complained. I peered at him from underneath my mask.
"Whatever. I want to ask you something. You up for adventure?"
"Always am, love."
"Well, I think we should dock at the nearest port. I want to catch up on the news." I said, stretching. The ship wasn't mine. I was walking, no running, when I saw it in the middle of the forest. Course, I was surprised and shock when I saw it, but no one was around it, so I figured, why not? I started pushing it, seeing if I could move it somewhere when I accidently pushed some secret button, which caused the ground to shake. I grabbed onto the nearest thing which was a rope hanging off the side of the ship and suddenly, the ground opened up and the ship fell through. There was a splash and I was dangling off the ship and below me was a deep lake. I swore and quickly scrambled on the ship. From then on, I sailed on this ship. Hey, its first owner was stupid enough to leave it in the middle of the forest!
"That's all?" He asked disappointed. He was the first mate. I had found him almost drowned in the middle of the ocean and pulled him up. I had figured out how to work the ship, wasn't that hard...the owner even left an instruction Manuel for me! When he woke up, he begged for me to let him stay on the ship because he was a wanted criminal. He wouldn't tell me his name, so I made one up for him. I didn't tell him my name, so he made one up for me. As we found more and more people, we decided it was easier to just give everyone a fake name because everyone has their secrets. Creamed Cheese and I were starving because with no map and sense of direction, we didn't have any food. We kept finding people on sail boats, people drowning, or people who wanted to commit suicide. They were all different ages and the one closest to my age, which was 19, was Creamed Cheese.
"Yeah. So you in?" I asked. He sighed and nodded. "Good, tell everyone. And I'll set sail for the nearest port. Lucky me, when we docked, before we could say anything, soldiers ran out screaming.
"INTRUDERS!" So, us being us, we took our swords out and began battling. We were careful not to harm them, seeing that we weren't REAL pirates. However, there were too many of them so I commanded everyone to retreat while I kept the soldiers off. As soon as the last ship mate climbed on the ship, a soldier grabbed me and tied my hands together. There was nothing my shipmates could do but sail away and I was taken.
So now, here I was, in front of a bored looking man.
"You know, you should smile. Then, people would actually want to know you." I said, forgetting to deepen my voice and speak like a pirate. Sasuke's eyes widen, telling me he heard my mistakes. "Heh-heh, puberty, what can yer do about it?" I chuckled nervously.
"What was that?" He asked slowly.
"What was what?" I asked back, my voice deeper.
"Your voice sounded…higher and different." He stared at me.
"Yeah, puberty." I rolled my eyes.
"How old are you?"
"Nineteen."
"You should have been passes puberty by now. I ask again. What was that?" He asked, eyes flashing red. I looked at those eyes. Where have I seen them before?
"Itatchi!" I said loudly. I had remembered!
"You know my brother?" Sasuke's eyebrows rose up.
"Yeah...he's your brother? I'm surprise. He's a pirate and you're a…landlubber." I stated.
"How do you know my brother? And what is a landlubber?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.
"I met him on my voyage around the world! He was sailing with a group of pirates known as the Akatsuki. Man, his sea rover was...fine if I can say so. He told me he left so his brother could gain some of his father's approval." I said, nodding to myself as I remembered. I didn't notice the way his hands clenched into fists. "They were a strange group. All collecting different things…there was this one guy, man! He had an obsession with puppets! And another guy, he had an obsession with plants...and he had somehow convinced himself that he was a plant." I rambled on and on about the pirates and he actually listened. He seemed uninterested, but every time I stopped, he would look t me and twitch his head, indicating he wanted me to continue. When I was almost finished, a certain blonde came crashing in.
"SUASUKE! DID YOU GET ANY INFORMATION?" He yelled, running. Before I could call out, he tripped on me [I was sitting on the floor] and crashed to the floor. He reached up, trying to grab onto something and somehow managed to yank my mask off. Gasping, I pulled my hat down so it covered my face…Yeah, bad idea. My hat is the place I put my bag of itching powder, which spilled all over my face.
"AAACHOOOO!" I sneezed. I kept sneezing and sneezing
