Disclaimer I do not own Naruto or One Piece, they belong to their respected owners.

Edward Newgate aka Whitebeard was a giant of a man, he was easily three times that of a average man, his frame was covered in muscles that a man half his age would never have been able to get let alone maintain, his bare chest was littered with varies sizes of scars. Wrapped around his head was a black bandanna and across his broad shoulders a white captains coat hung loosely, covered around his waist and over his pants was a dark pirate sash, and finally he wore large black boots.

He was a 'Yonko' one of the four emperors of the sea, he held the title of the strongest man in the world, the mighty holder of the Gura Gura No Mi.

Yet to his crew his family, his sons and daughters he was a father, a man they looked upon and respected, loved and would gave their life to him.

Whitebeard leaned forward in his chair, as he listened to his 1st division commander Marco the Phoenix, speak about the the latest patrols his crew had made in his territory, Marco was a lean man, dressed in a purple jacket, dark gray pants with black sandles, under his jacket he bore the mark of his captain in the form of a tattoo, as he spoke of their territory, his blonde pineapple shaped hair repeatedly fell in to his lazy looking eyes. "...and so Samba island has request help from a upstart pirate crew, I've sent Fossa and a bunch of the new recruits to deal with it, also I've heard reports from..." Marco trailed of as he noticed that Whitebeard had stopped listening and drew his eyes into narrowed slits.

"Gu ra ra ra ra" Whitebeard laughed suddenly, the emotion in his eyes turning into one of happiness. "Gu ra ra ra you can out of the shadows now boy Ga ra ra" Whitebeards sentence caused Marco to look around quickly, before his eyes came to rest on a dark shadow caused by the giant white sails.

"Huh took you longer to notice me this time old man" Naruto stepped into the sun light, a small delicate smile formed on his lips, he strode forward till he stood next to Marco, and directly in front of Whitebeard, his stance had a lazy tone to it, his back lightly hunched and his hands placed in his pockets, as his gaze stared at Whitebeard. Marco stared at Naruto with respect and slight admiration "It's been awhile Naruto, there had been rumours circulating of your death" Naruto swapped his gaze from Whitebeard to Marco and replied with a bigger smile "Nah I've just been having a bit of vacation, I just forgot to tell anyone haha" Suddenly Naruto jumped to his side as large bisento came crashing down where he had previously been standing, dent the deck slightly.

Whitebeard was stood his bisento held in both hands, his eyes glared deeply at Narutos own "Grow up brat, your actions are not fit for a captain, you have no idea what your crew had felt when you suddenly disappeared, I've had them all begging me for any information on your whereabouts, especially your student" Whitebeard breathed heavily, his killing intent causing the winds to howl and the Moby Dick to shake.

Naruto returned the glare, his own killer intent matched Whitebeard's evenly, he tone was quiet yet cut through the thick air "Calm down Newgate, I wouldn't have left them, if it wasn't something important"

Marco stared into deeply Narutos eyes, as Naruto spoke, he had seen an emotion that he couldn't quite place, yet it seemed that his pops had understood, as Whitebeard had returned to sitting and placed his bisento to his side.

As the killer intent stopped, Naruto quietly sat down on the deck, he stared at Whitebeard, a large grin developed upon his face "haha so old man you mind filling me in what I've missed"
