And my story continues to gain fame. Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on what the Harem for Naruto should be, Zoro's pairing as well. I have come to a decision and will inform you guys at the end of the chapter.

In this chapter most scenes will be from the anime though some scenes will be from the manga.

Nothing more to say. Enjoy.

"Hey, i think i see land Luffy." Zoro said while waking up from his nap."Really?" Luffy said excitedly as he pulled himself to the upper deck of the Merry by using his extendable hands. "About time." Nojiko said as she made her way to the front of the Fox to get a better view of the first Island of her Pirate Life. She stopped beside Naruto and was left speechless. "It's beautiful." She managed to say before she grabbed her Captain and lover's arm to rest her head on his shoulder.

"Captain-bro, do we really have to go dressed like this?" Johnny said as he and Yosauku also made their way to the front of the Fox. In the few days the former bounty hunting brothers had worn the weighing armor, they impressed Naruto to such a extent that he had used some hand-signs to double the weight of their armor. "It's not that we can't walk around in 100 lbs, it's just that we don't want to be seen like this." Yosaku put his two cents in.

Naruto replied by saying "If you don't want to come, then you could just sit here with two broken swords." The two brothers then remembered that their swords had been broken during the "fight" (if it could be called that) at Arlong Park "Fine~" the two sighed while dropping their heads down.

"Since i need to get new swords as well, you guys can just tag along with me." With this the two brothers nodded and Yosaku said "I forgot, two of your swords broke during the fight with Mihawk." Naruto's ears immediately perked up by hearing the mentioning of the name 'Mihawk'. "Yeah, using santoryu(three-sword style) with one sword isn't good." Zoro said as Nami, Usopp and Sanji reached the front of the Merry.

"This place is bound to have supplies." Sanji's eyes turned to hearts as he said "And lovely ladies~!"

"I'm gonna go on a shopping spree. I need alot of gear before we enter the grand line." Usopp said as they reached the docks and Zoro dropped the Merry's anchor while Naruto dropped the Fox's. "So this is the island where the Pirate King was born and exaecuted." Said Luffy with his head down and one hand on his hat.

Louge Town

"This place has everything you could possibly need since every pirate wanting to go to the Grand Line needs to stop here." Nami said with her hand on her hip. "I wonder if this town has a sword smith." Zoro said hopefully. Nami suddenly got a devilish smile as she said "I thought you were broke, you thinking about stealing them?"

"Well, i'm going to see where they kill people." Luffy said with a grin before running off into the crowd saying "I want to see where the Pirate King was executed." Usopp tried to stop his captain but it was in vein. "Well, i'm off." Sanji said walking off. "We're gonna take a walk to get used to these weighs and look for some swords" Johnny said "We have some cash from those bounties we collected" Yosaku finished as the both walked off.

"I should go too." Usopp said before he even walked off. "I'm gonna have trouble since i'm pretty much broke." Zoro mumbled to himself. "I'll lend you some money at a 300% interest." Nami said, her develish smile coming back.

"Zoro, i might have the solution to your problem." Naruto said before he walked back to the Fox and motioned for Zoro to follow him. The two, along with Nami and Nojiko, made their way in the Fox until they reached a room called the 'treasury'

The four walked in, and as they did, Nojiko, Zoro and Nami felt their jaw hit the floor at the sight before them. It was a giant room filled with treasure, so much that not even half could fit in the Merry. Naruto grabbed a stack of Belis and handed it to Zoro. "I think one million beris should be enough. If you need more, just find me and i'll lend you more." Zoro nodded before leaving.

"Naruto-kun, you wouldn't mind lending me a few million beris would you?" Nami said in a sweet voice. Naruto looked at her with a foxy grin before saying "Sure, but at a 300% interest." Nami fell on the floor, depressed as Nojiko fell on the floor laughing.

"How'd you like a taste of your own medicine?" Nojiko managed to say, still laughing. "Ugh, i'm out of here." Nami said as she stomped off with a giggling Nojiko behind her. Naruto made three clones to guard the ship before putting on a orange jacket which had a hood preventing anyone from seeing the pirate's face. He then walked out of the Fox and blended into a crowd.

With Zoro

Zoro was walking on the street looking for a place where he could find swords that fit him. All the shops he had gone to before had cheap quality swords even though they were expensive. He suddenly heard a commotion and saw two two guys with swords, most probably pirates, standing in the way of a girl.

Since the girl's back was facing Zoro he couldn't make out much of the girl except of the fact that she had glasses and was holding a wrapped-up sword.

"Move." The girl began "I'm warning you i'm not afraid of a fight." She finished in a plain voice

"Shut up!" One of the man snapped "Our captain is behind bars because of that monster captain of yours."

The girl snapped and almost shouted "Captain Smoker's no monster!."

The two laughed before the other man said "Anyways, we're just going to return the favor."

"If you insist, i will fight you." Said the girl, still not intimidated by the rowdy men that were threatening her.

"You do know you're a girl right?" One of the men said before both of them leapt at the girl with their swords drawn. Zoro gripped his own sword and was about to get involved but he soon found out that he wasn't required to.

The girl quickly opened her package to reveal the katana she had inside. With one strike, she swiftly cut down the two men much to the shock of Zoro and everyone else witnessing the scene. However, the scene was ruined when she tripped on her own foot and her glasses went flying to Zoro's feet. "My glasses... i can't see without my glasses." She said as she blindly searched the ground for them.

"She's good at fighting but not good at walking!" One of the civilian commented while laughing openly.

Zoro kneeled down to pick up the girl's glasses then held them out to her "Hey...um...here you go." He called out and as the girl looked up to face Zoro, he couldn't help but feel surprised as the girl looked EXACTLY LIKE KUINA!

The girl happily accepted the glasses and said "Sorry for troubling you. Thank you so much." At the frozen Zoro. She then sealed the sword back in the passage and walked off. When Zoro was over the shock of a complete stranger looking exactly like his DEAD childhood friend, he stood up and started walking on only to be stopped by the two people he din't want witnessing the scene.

Zoro noticed Johnny and Yosaku giving him sly looks until Zoro finally asked "What?"

Johnny was the first to answer "Looks like Zoro-bro's finally in love." Zoro gained a look of total annoyance but managed to hold his cool "We saw the way you were looking at her. You didn't stop staring until she was out of sight though i'm sure she isn't out of your mind." Yosaku said in the same sly tone Johnny was using.

Zoro's expression matched that of a time bomb just waiting to go off. The two brothers croosed the line when they started simultaneously singing...

"First comes love."

"Then comes marriage."

"Then comes a baby."

"In a-" They however weren't able to finish as Zoro pounded the back of both their heads with his fists in annoyance.

With Nami and Nojiko

Swish! The curtain of the first fitting room in a expensive clothes store opened to show Nami wearing a expensive red dress "How's this?" She asked the salesman while striking a pose.

"Oh, how it suits you wonderfully." The salesman said

Swish! The curtain of the second fitting room opened to show Nojiko wearing a expensive grey fur-coat "What about this?" She asked the salesman while striking a pose.

"Oh, how elegant you look." The salesman said

"This?"

"Elementary!"

"This?"

"Electrical!"

The pattern continued as Nami and Nojiko continued to try expensive clothing while the salesman spouted out compliments that began with "E". Eventually, two huge piles of clothes were made, one for Nami and one for Nojiko.

"Excellent, will you be buying all this?" The salesman asked.

"No thanks." Nojiko said as she and Nami made their way to the door.

"We prefer more casual clothing since it's easier to move around in." Nami said.

"PLEASE COME AGAIN!" the salesman cried out.

With Sanji

"Sanji, i've finally found you!" A voice called out to the Straw-Hat cook who was walking calmly. The woman waved a pair of fur-tipped fans as she did a quick dance "I've been searching for you for ten years."

Sanji and everyone else who were currently witnessing the scene were shocked to see the beautiful woman with fiery red hair strike a pose with one hand on her waist while the other hand above her head.

"Behold, the amazing Carmen!" A voice came out.

"The greatest chef in the East Blue." Another voice called out.

"I am passion!" The woman identified as Carmen called out "Some call me Five-Alarm Carmen."

"OLE" two men stepped from behind Carmen and waved red flags as Carmen did another dance.

"I am the first apprentice of Carmen, Leo!" The 'man' with the small body and large head said.

"I am her second, Jose!" The other round man added.

Much surprised the people were at the action of the woman and her two apprentices, it didn't help that Sanji dropped on the floor, swooning over Carmen "You are beauty itself." Sanji exclaimed nearly causing the others to face-palm themselves.

"It is my greatest dream come true. yes. Beauty has come searching for me!" Sanji stood up and walked towards Carmen, just to stop in front of her before kneeling down in one knee and taking her hand in both of his. "It is truely an honour, my beautiful Miss Carmen!" Sanji leaned to kiss the woman's hand only for his face to be met with a frying pan that Carmen found from who knows where. "DON'T YOU DARE!" she screamed though the smallest hint of a blush could be seen on her face.

"You are so passionate. Though tell me, how is it you and i know each other?" Sanji asked "OHHH BOYS!" Carmen called out before she danced back and struck a pose "tell the story." She said before the two 'men' replied by saying "Yes ma'am!"

Leo used his long paddle to hold out a book to Sanji "Please look." he asked and Sanji obliged. He opened the book and was confused to see different pictures of different men. All of which looked like chefs. "These are pictures of cooks." He said and the two apprentices nodded.

"True, these are photos of the most famous cooks in the East Blue." Jose said "And the Great Carmen defeated all of them in competition." Leo finished as the two struck poses.

"Yes, i truly am the most amazing cook in the East Blue!" Carmen started as she fanned herself "The cooks who have challenged me all had been disappointing simpletons. I was starting to think that there was no one left to challenge my skills, that is until i came across an article on the Baratie Sea Restaraunt from when you still worked there. A cook from the Baratie said that his former assistant head chef was the best cook in the East Blue. He also said that in all his years in the restaurant business, he had never met a cook who could match your skills. From that day on i have spent everyday of the last ten years searching for you!"

As soon as Carmen finished here speech, Jose said "Actually it's been only ten days."

"She has some trouble with the truth." Leo admitted.

Wonk! Wonk!

"Shut your mouths!" Carmen said as she hit her two apprentices with a frying pan which seemed to appear from somewhere.

"Now i challenge you Sanji! If you dare, bring your spices to the marketplace cooking competition at one this afternoon. You will be minced like garlic, before being added to heated oil in a hot pan!" Carmen said and as soon as she finished, she started laughing like a maniac "MUAHAHAHAHA!"

Carmen then lifted one of her leg before spinning on the other leg causing her to appear like a spinning red tornado before she flew up into the air. Everyone stared surprised as she seemingly disappeared in thin air before being found on the floor, dizzy.

Her two apprentices held Carmen up to prevent her from falling. "We don't get paid enough to do this." Leo mumbled to himself before they ran off.

Unknown to everyone else, there was a hooded figure in the crowd watching the scene with great interest. A lock of blonde hair fell visible but the man quickly fixed his hood. "Interesting" The hooded figure who was, as the readers know, Naruto said before walking off again.

"Finally a woman with passion like mine!" Sanji said, still thinking about Carmen. "So kid, are you going to compete in the market-place competition?" A old man who had seen the event asked. Sanji looked at him before saying "No, i don't like competitions." He then continued on his way.


In an alley

'The king of the pirates was born and executed here' Luffy thought as he was running through the streets of Lougetown still searching for the execution platform 'I could be running in his very steps right now'

"YAHOO!" Luffy screamed, still excited.


Marine office

In a marine office which was located in the other side of town, there was a room that was filled with nothing but smoke. The smoke was so thick that it was close to impossible to see anything but shadows. "Captain Smoker, a message from H.Q." A marine said. "We've just received word that Uzumaki "Demon Fox" Naruto and Monkey. D. Luffy along with both of their respective crews are headed here to Louge town with Uzumaki having a bounty of 600,000,000 Beris and Luffy having a bounty of 50,000,000. We've been informed that the two have a alliance formed." A figure in the shadow could be seen standing up at the mere mention of the pirates.

"Uzumaki huh? It seems luck's on my side. I'll finally have revenge from him." The figure said as it walked towards a window and opened it to reveal his face "Now why so tense?" The man who was identified as Captain Smoker asked the marine. "It's just that, Naruto has been said to match the strength of Whitebeard himself. I doubt that the admirals could take him down. How could we even hope to achieve the impossible feat?"

Smoker seemed annoyed at the man's opinion. "Calm the hell down." He said "Ever since i've been shifted here, not a single pirate has escaped me and i plan to keep it that way." He then put his hand on his chin and said "Though why would Uzumaki come to the weakest of the seas?"

Just then another marine came running into the office and quickly saluted Captain Smoker before saying "I've got a report sir, we've just recieved information that a group of pirates have recently docked here, in Louge Town. We have been requested immediately."

Smoker put on his black gloves and strapped his jutte (A.N/ This is what it's called right?) onto his back before he quickly walked out of the office. Unfortunately for him, he forgot to see the poster which had the face of Monkey. D. Luffy, the pirate he went off to capture.

I'll be ending it here. Sorry for the short chapter but this chapter was long overdue. The reason for the late chapter is that i've been hooked to another manga recently. It's called 'The Gamer' and is pretty epic.

The pairing for Zoro is ZoTa (ZoroxTashigi) But it might take some time for them to be in a romantic relationship
