Rise of the Whirling Tides
Author Note: Just a short note, I have changed Beli to Belly, and Mariejois to Marie Geoise due to switching of its spelling in the series.
I got asked to leave summaries about what has happened. So every chapter will have a summary of what happened in the previous one starting from here. The summaries for chapters 1 to 20 will be posted in a separate release, (Chapter 22).
Also, I will try and work in a time skip, but there are a few things I want to cover before that, but will try to work in a time skip moving the story forward by least 2-3 years. Other chapters will be comprised of a yearly event, maybe two chapters, while mentioning important things that happened.
Also, I've been thinking about starting a discord channel up for this story. There you can ask questions about what's happened if you need a reminder of events and can kick my ass about getting new chapters finished XD.
P.S Will be putting numbers in brackets next to certain part's which will be explained at the end of the Chapter.
Releasing 5 chapter's together tonight. With another five in reserve to release through the week.

Chapter 21: Worldly Affairs
3 Years (approaching 4) Since Uzushiogakure's Construction
Somewhere on the Grand Line
An angry roar bellowed from inside a cave, followed by the screams of pirates of all sizes who were sent flying up into the air, having been struck by a giant metal spiked kanabo. The kanabo hit a cave wall, shattering it on impact, causing the entire cave to shake as debris fell from the roof. Many pirates scattered in fear of being not only crushed by the kanabo but by the falling rock. An angry roar bellowed through the cave as a giant figure stomped towards the entrance. A massive hand grabbed the entrance of the cave, and a towering figure stepped into the light. The man stood heads taller than any normal pirate with height standing over eighty feet tall. The giant was a tanned man who seemed to be of middle age who was extremely broad, with a well-muscled torso, wide-set shoulders, and accordingly massive, toned arms. Out of proportion in terms of mass are his legs, which appear a little minuscule by comparison to his upper self, far less heavily built than his arms yet about the same length, with feet also tiny compared to his hands. The man's head, atop his extremely bulky neck, was disproportionately small as well, smaller than his hands, and had a pair of large, heavy horns coloured light-grey protrude from near the ears, first front- and then upward. The man was none other than Kaido also known as Hyakujū no Kaidō (Kaido of the Beasts) a man once called The Strongest Creature in the World, and captain of the Beast Pirates.
The man swung the kanabo down in pure unadulterated rage, creating a large fissure in the earth, making the ground he stood upon tremble. The source of the man's anger lay in his left hand. The hand disproportionate to the rest of his massive body clutched two wanted posters. Kaido threw the poster's onto the ground sneering at the sight of them. On one poster was a man of unknown age, looking in his mid-twenties with strange swirled tomoe eyes, horns on his head, long white hair, wearing a monk's robe and carrying a nine ring shakujo staff. On the other was the image of a giant orange-red nine-tailed fox, with human-like paws, each with a thumb, rabbit ears and blood red eyes. Underneath the man was the name Otsutsuki Hagoromo called the Strongest Man Alive and nicknamed the Natural Disaster with a five billion belly bounty on his head. This wasn't what angered Kaido, while it was part of it, the number or the man wasn't enough to infuriate him. No, the fox made the beast coil with nothing but rage. Beneath the fox was the name Kurama, and the giant fox had been granted the title of Strongest Creature in the World with a two billion belly bounty on its head.
Kaido had originally been labelled the Strongest Creature in the World, but that title had been taken away from him by this Kurama, and he wasn't impressed. What also increased the man's anger was the foxes bounty a full half a billion belly higher than his own. Roaring in anger again, Kaido bellowed to his crew within the cave, "JACK GET OUT HERE NOW!" roared the pirate swinging the massive club around, pulverising a nearby rock formation to pieces.
The ground shook as the sound of heavy footsteps was heard approaching. Stepping out of the cave was a large man, dwarfing his crewmates but was nowhere near as tall as Kaido. The man was immensely muscular, but his limbs were disproportionately small when compared to the rest of what was an enormous torso. The man wore a metallic jaw mask and had a pair of horns on each side of his head, with blond hair worn in a ponytail and a pair of long braids. Tman wore a dark, sleeveless, feathery coat similar to Kaido with spiked pauldrons on his shoulders, circled by a belt bearing the crew's Jolly Roger. This was Jack also known as Kangai no Jakku (Jack the Draught), one of Kaido's three right-hands and captain of the Mammoth.
Jack knelt down in front of his captain, appearing slightly afraid at the man's vicious attitude. Even Jack had some semblance of fear towards the man's unreasonable attitude's.
"Jack, find this Kurama, tear it's head off and bring it back to me!" roared the angry pirate, he wanted to see this Kurama dead and was ordering one of his strongest hand's to do the job. "Take whoever you want, take as many ships and officer's you need. Just kill this damn fox!" Kaido wasn't having any of it and wanted to see Kurama dead, for being titled the Strongest Creature in the World.
Kaido walked off once the order had been given, swinging the massive kanabo destroying everything in his path. The enormous pirate headed off leaving a trail of destruction in his way, all to vent the anger that had boiled up inside him.
At the cave entrance the kneeling, Jack was sweating profusely. With a gulp, the pirate stood up and called out to those in the cave, "Get your asses in gear! We're moving out!" roared the massive pirate ordering the Beast Pirates into action.
Grand Line - Baltigo Island - Revolutionary Headquarters
Baltigo an island with tall rock pillars and ground that looks like it might be snow-covered, it heavy winds throughout. The island was located on the Grand Line and was the headquarters for the Revolutionaries led by Monkey D. Dragon. Within the headquarters of the revolutionaries was seven individuals seated around a table, each varying in shape, size and appearance, some looking stranger than others, showing off their unique personalities. At the forefront was a man recognised by many across the world, Monkey D. Dragon the World Government's Greatest Enemy and the World's Most-Dangerous Man, but perhaps that title would soon move onto another individual, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
To Dragon's left and moving anti-clockwise was Emperio Ivankov a large man with an afro of blue/purple hair, and has long eyelashes, with a noticeably-odd shaped chin resembling an arrowhead, Jolly Roger tattooed was stamped below his chest. The man was an Okama dressed in reddish-purple women's garments with heavy makeup, wearing a black hooded cloak. Following was Belo Betty a tall, slim woman with short, light hair whose torso is barely covered, as she only wears an open, long-sleeved vest which reveals her chest and a dark tie. The woman also wore a short dark skirt and stockings that go up to her thighs, where atop her head was sunglasses and a top hat with a long and puffy plume, goggles, and a pair of curved horns attached to it.
After Belo Betty was Karasu a tall, muscular, and bald man who wears half of a plague doctor mask on his face that acts as a loudspeaker, wearing an open dark feather coat similar to those worn by the Beast Pirates that leaves his chest exposed, dark pants, and a sash around his neck. Next to Karasu was Morley a very hairy and portly giant, who had a Fu Manchu moustache and a shaggy chinstrap beard. He wears very little clothing, only wearing a short plaid skirt in addition to belts around his arms, a flower symbol on his left forearm, dark gloves, a dark bowler hat with frilly goggles on it, and a weapons pack, it kind of made him look like a giant potato. Mortly was also an Okama like Ivankov.
Of the last two one was Lindberg or Lind for short, a short cat mink, standing about half as tall as Belo Betty. The mink wore a light buttoned shirt, dark pants, light boots, and a dark buttoned coat. He also wears goggles over his eyes, a top hat with goggles and a curved rim, and a jetpack on his back The last person in the room was taller than the rest, Bartholomew Kuma, an enormous man, being 689 cm tall whose facial features couldn't be seen thanks to the hooded coat he wore covering the upper half of his face, the only noticeable feature was a large protruding chin. Kuma wore a hat that featured a pair of rounded ears, and, along with the dark blue fabric of his pants, is covered in brown spots. His jacket contains a large white design reminiscent of a target crosshair or a coda sign. There are also several white paw prints lining the bottom hem of his coat.
After Dragon, these were the top six commanding officers of the Revolutionary Army. Dragon sat at the head of the table, placing a pair of wanted posters on the table for the other's to see, they were similar copies of the poster's Kaido had been reading. These poster's had been distributed all over the world, concerning Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Kurama, listing their countless abilities.
"I assume you have all been convinced by the man's abilities and just why I sought his services?" Questioned the Revolutionary with a smug grin on that face of his. The kind of smug look that made someone want to hit him. The other commanders whispered amongst themselves about what had happened. Though the poster's had come out some time ago, they hadn't exactly trusted Dragon's approach to hiring the Uzukage Uzumaki Naruto, especially when Dragon told them he was also Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
But news had reached their ears regarding a battle on an insignificant island between three of the man's student's who fought against Egburt Thornton better known as Blacktooth and his first mate Estella, who also happened to be the man's lover. While the team of three children had obtained significant injuries, two of them had injured Estella before the third killed both Blacktooth and the axe woman. The very fact this unknown man could train children to obtain such strength only highlighted his abilities. They still didn't trust Uzushiogakure completely, but the fact they went to such extents to complete a mission spoke highly of them.
"Are you sure we can completely trust this Uzukage-boi? His people are a mercenary village, for the right price they could be hired by the World Government to hunt us down or even find our location buru" spoke up Ivankov, while an overly friendly and valuing nakama, the Okama was still a person who would find suspicion with others, especially when it came to protecting their friends.
Dragon reached into his coat, pulling out a contract which he unrolled, at the bottom was the personal signature of the Uzukage, "Naruto-san has signed a nonaggression pact with us, with an alliance clause built in, allowing us to freely request assistance in times of need and vice versa, with a discount on mission prices. Originally I paid five hundred thousand belly requesting an A-rank mission, two hundred and fifty thousand of which has been returned to us as a sign of good faith. The other mission which would cost one hundred billion belly has been discounted to fifty million belly. The discount only applies to the mission rate, every other fee will be charged at full price." Informed the revolutionary before passing the contract around for the others to view.
Even though the commanders had been made aware of the original price, even with the discount, it was still an astronomical amount of money that needed to be moved. The revolutionary army didn't even possess half of that amount, let alone thinking about paying the full target range. They had been made aware they would have to pay half upfront but getting the money was the problem, then trying to find money to pay the rest off was another issue.
"That is an exorbitant amount of money, that we cannot pay. While the goal behind the mission is highly important, the amount they are asking just can't be raised in a short amount of time!" The one who spoke this time was Belo Betty; they price set forth was just too much, the woman didn't know anyone who could pay it besides the World Government, a Yonko or the World Nobles. The other's nodded their heads in agreement, raising their voices, vocalising their objections.
"I had taken this into consideration, and have communicated back and forth with the Uzukage's secretary about a payment plan. Uzushiogakure offers payment plans to those unable to pay the price up front, allowing them to pay a certain amount of money every set period. In the case of having to pay half upfront, items of value can be exchanged to help pay off the price. Rare treasures are evaluated, and a price is placed upon them, that price is then deducted from the payment, and the item is given to Uzushiogakure. If you wish to buy the item back and only want it to be placed as a payment holder you may do so as long as the correct amount of money is paid to retrieve the item. There are three or four items within our treasury that can be offered to help subsidise the payment cost." Dragon had been messaging back and forth with Suzuka regarding the S class mission he wanted to request of Uzushiogakure, to distract Whitebeard.
Edward Newgate 'Whitebeard' was in possession of a certain item the Revolutionaries wanted to get their hands on. The item they wished could be used to find something they were after, but could only be used after a specific amount of time had passed, in this case, one hundred years, and that time was fast approaching, the item would activate in three year's time. Trying to raise twenty-five billion belly in only three years was almost impossible if one was just using currency, but if they could substitute in items it was doable.
"I am issuing an order to all revolutionaries, track down and obtain items of worth over one hundred million belly or higher, swords, armour, books, statues, devil fruits or anything else that could be of value. I am giving this a one year limit, in the next year we much gather as many items as possible!" ordered the revolutionary leader, "During that time I will be tracking down one or two items whose locations have come into my hand." There were a couple of items Dragon had caught wind off that were relics from an ancient era, items that had been found in the stomachs of Sea King's who lived deep beneath the ocean's depths. The items predated anything that had been found before said to predate even the Tree of Knowledge that had once been planted in Ohara five thousand years before it's destruction.
A similar item had been found and auctioned off over twenty years ago, the item of all things was a strange mask, it had been found just floating around the sea. The mask was broken though split from the middle of the head, down the nose and across the mouth, the mouth was fully intact but everything else from the left side was gone. The face of the mask was pale white, resembling a hannya mask, with one black eye, rows of razor sharp teeth and a single yellow horn protruding from the right side. The mask seemed to give everyone who looked at it an eerie feeling like death was lurking around the corner. The item had been sold to some world noble for around five billion belly if it had been fully intact the mask might have gone for more.
"Dismissed, everyone carry on with your duties!" Dragon dismissed the six commander's, allowing them to retreat to their corners to search for items to be traded to Uzushiogakure to assist in paying for an S class suicide mission against Whitebeard.
Toto Land - Whole Cake Island
Toto Land a massive archipelago composed of one giant island in its centre, and 34 subsidiary islands, arranged roughly in a concentric circle, each island appeared to be themed after some kind of food. The main island was Whole Cake Island that looked like a gathering of frosted cakes thanks to the enormous cake like buildings constructed on its land. Atop what was the largest central building, the Whole Cake Chateau one could see massive piles shaped like candles. The Whole Cake Chateau was a massive castle shaped like a four-layered cake. Whole Cake Island was the main base of operations for one Charlotte Linlin better known as Big Mom and captain of the Big Mom Pirates for over sixty years.
On one of the floors of the Whole Cake Chateau was the queen's chamber. The chamber was a two-story room, with a massive throne adorned with various sweets, candies and several supersize ice cream cones, bowls and other sweet foods laying around.
On the throne was a round, obese woman with a chin often hidden by her torso of an enormous physique, standing at 880 centimetres or just shy of 29 feet tall, the woman was even taller than the already extremely tall Whitebeard. The woman's eyes were moderately round, orange coloured, that had prominent eyelashes, and she wore thick purple eyeshadow. The woman had a vast mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick, large, round teeth, and a long, thick tongue that often sticks out. The obese woman had long, curly, and wild pink hair that falls halfway down her back, as well as a beak-like nose, and plump, round cheeks, sporting a tattoo on her left shoulder and arm, consisting of a large, standard-shaped red heart framed by thin lines curled at their bottom ends, which all tops a far smaller heart. The woman donned a pink dress with red polka dots and white ruffles on its neckline and hemline, with a wide, rippling white cape attached to its back that falls to the ground. The outfit was completed with dark blue high heels, one turquoise pearl wristband on either wrist and golden, jewelled rings on all fingers.
This woman was none other than Charlotte Linlin also known as Big Mom, a woman notorious for her unstable and cruel personality. Around the massive woman was a gathered crowd of around seventy-six or so, consisting of thirty-something women and forty-something men of varying ages (1). These were all of Charlotte's children making up the Charlotte Family. Big Mom had given birth to a child every year since she was eighteen and had over forty husbands during the process, many of which had been killed or cast aside. Big Mom discards her husbands without even giving them a chance to hold their child or children, let alone raise them. Big Mom viewed these men as 'outsiders', and they were unwelcome in her family, a mentally passed onto her children who had often been given permission from the woman to hunt their father's down and kill them.
The woman sat on the massive throne, a single wanted poster was held in those think hands. On the poster was the horned and monk robed man called Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Strongest Man Alive, nicknamed the Natural Disaster with a five billion belly on his head. The sheer amount was truly impressive, shocking not only Big Mom but her children, as it must be known Big Mom had a bounty of one billion belly on her head that had only been recently added. Originally the woman started with a fifty million bounty that increased to half a billion before rising again. But this Otsutsuki Hagoromo had started with a billion belly bounty; now it had more than quadrupled.
A sinister smile formed on the massive woman's lips "What a charming man," The woman eyed the poster with a sickening look in those eyes of her, thinking of how powerful the children she conceived with him would be, but the woman was moving past her prime, and it was time to have grandchildren.
"Smoothie, Galette, Myukuru Mumma has found the perfect man for one of you!" Big Mom turned to three of her daughter's, in the woman's eyes her children were merely tools to be used to strengthen the power of her crew. Because of the woman's stubborn nature, most of them have already given up on their dreams of marrying someone of their own volition, knowing they cannot displease her, in the end going along with what she wants. While most of her children are very loyal to her demands, Big Mom views them as a means to an end and only cares about them as long as they are obedient and do not stand in her way. Moreover, should any of her children defy her in any way, she will desire to have them killed without hesitation or remorse.
Of the three children, Smoothie was the fourteenth daughter who was a statuesque woman from the Longleg Tribe with tan skin, blue eyes, and prominent lips with silver lipstick. Like all longlegs, she is exceptionally tall, standing at 464 centimetres (15'2"). Additionally, Smoothe had disproportionately large hands, even for her size, with long and wavy white hair that covers her right eye and stretches down her back. After that was Galette the eighteenth daughter, a young woman of average size, with pale skin and shoulder-length fuchsia hair, which curls at the ends, with yellow eyes and notably thick eyelashes. She wore a red-violet dress, a dark purple feather coat, magenta gloves, and had two horns on the top of her head. Lastly of the three was Myukuru the twenty-fifth daughter, who was another average sized young woman of the long arm tribe with brown skin, who had periwinkle hair and iris eyes. Myukuru wore a blue shirt with the number "100" in white written on the chest, with white round padding on her elbows, a pair of white gloves and thick grey bracelets with a pink line, who also a short pink leaf skirt and high pink sandal boots.
The three daughters shared a quick look with one another before bowing their heads at their mother's orders.
"Let it be known, that I offer the hand of one of my three daughter's up in marriage to Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he is to immediately come and accept so that they may be wed! This is my decree let is spread over the world! Should he refuse…" A dark expression formed on the massive woman's features as a sinister aura engulfed the throne room. The woman didn't need to say a word as her children understood the meaning, should the man refuse he was to be brought to the island by force she Charlotte Linlin could have the pleasure of killing him or forcing him to marry one of her daughters.
Uzu no Kuni - Uzukage Tower
Uzumaki Naruto, the Shodai Uzukage, suddenly sneezed, violently, from his seat, the sneeze was followed by three more in rapid succession, one after the other. A chill went up the sage's spin. Looking concerned eyes, the young woman Suzuka spoke up from his side, "Are you alright Naruto-kun? Are you catching a cold?" queried the young woman, they were the only ones in the office so all formalities had been dropped, allowing the woman to address her boyfriend affectionately.
Naruto rubbed the bottom of his nose with an odd expression, "I can't catch a cold, someone must be talking about me, but why do I suddenly have the urge to hide beneath a rock? It feels as if some vile thing has set their eyes on me, the stuff of my nightmares." The Immortal Sage seemed to gag for some unknown reason. If he knew what ideas Big Mom had for him; he would surely think to just blow her away with a Bijuu Dama (Tailed Beast Bomb) then and there.
The Shinobi strummed his desk trying to force whatever feeling this was aside, to focus on other matters, "The Marine's look truly desperate, placing a five billion belly on my head and a two billion belly on Kurama's, though I do feel honoured by the name Natural Disaster ha! At least they got something right." The Immortal Sage chuckled to himself about the name they gave him, it was true though, Naruto was in many ways a natural disaster with the power to use a vast array of elements that were at his beck and call twenty-four seven.
"I look forward to seeing their faces when the truth comes before them" Kurama spoke up, his voice echoing through Naruto's mind across the mental plain they shared, the same plain shared with the other Bijuu.
"The children have no clue what they are dealing with, let them flounder about until the day comes." A new voice entered a feminine one with a soft purr belonging to Matatabi the Nibi no Bakeneko (Two-Tailed Monster Cat).
"Weee I can't wait to kill! Spilling the blood of those World Nobles will be fun, fun, fun!" The psychotic voice of Shukaku came out to join the party, the sand tanuki was looking forward to getting a chance to kill some world nobles.
"There will be plenty of time for you to shed blood in the future. For now, continue to concentrate all power on building up Uzushiogakure's forces. Kurama how goes the Martial Force?" The Sage relayed communications through the Bijuu shared plain, before speaking to his longtime friend.
"It's coming along fine. In one year's time, five thousand recruits will complete basic training and be assigned to one of ten legions, five hundred per legion under the command of an elected Captain-Commander to be placed on the war council. From there, each Legion will be divided into ten divisions of fifty troops with an elected Captain. ." Recited Kurama. One might ask what the Martial Force was? Uzushiogakure had two militaries, the Shinobi Forces and the Martial Force. The shinobi force was comprised of everyone who passed the shinobi exams and could wield chakra. The Martial Force were those who couldn't use chakra or hadn't in the end been suitable to become a shinobi.
"The Martial Force in one year's time will be comprised of five thousand soldiers, with two thousand reserves."
The Martial force would be the largest of the two forces, with the Shinobi forces being the strongest, but that didn't mean the Martial Force wasn't strong. Each legion had its speciality, the first six legions were comprised of ground troops for land battles, Legions seven, eight and nine focused on sea battles, this was Uzushiogakure's navy, the last Legion, number ten was Uzushiogakure's aerial Legion, trained for aerial combat to combat in the skies with prototype gliders. The Martial Force's main goal was to act as Uzushiogakure's protective power, protecting Uzu no Kuni's shore from invader's but could be designated to fight on the front lines if necessary. Each Legion had a unique purpose, each possessing a certain skill set.
To obtain powerful soldiers, they went through three years of training, every day consuming a chakra supplement designed to improve their physical bodies, increasing speed, durability, stamina, strength and regeneration for two of those years. The process turned them into super soldiers, on par with a High Genin or Low Chunin level Shinobi when it came to physical attributes. Each legion would be armed with weapons such as polearms and swords but also equipped with some of the latest firearms developed by Uzushiogakure's Research and Development department, with blueprints provided by Dominic. The type of weapons created were none this era had ever seen (2).
"Have R & D continue the production of all armour and weapons. Make sure we are in large supply of all items, I don't want any soldier going without equipment, even the reserve forces. Have all current soldiers keep up with their training, while continuing to consume the chakra supplements, but have the dosage dropped back from one hundred milligrams daily to ten milligrams. Recruits are to continue consuming one hundred milligram tablets a day."
There would surely be some people in the world who would look down on Naruto, even criticising him for doping up his soldiers, but the chakra supplement had no side effects like other drugs would. It used the bodies own chakra reserves, sure the first few weeks would be painful as one's chakra coils were widened to allow the flow of chakra to be used in the body strengthening procedure, but afterwards, the pain would no longer be experienced. As the old saying went no pain no gain.
"While there is five thousand Recruit's about to start their third year of training, we have had a recent recruitment of ten thousand starting their first year of training, and have another seven thousand undergoing their second year of training. At the end of two years, Uzushiogakure will have a Martial Force of twelve thousand Soldiers, one thousand two hundred Troops per Legion, one hundred each Division. The number of recruits has begun to claim every year as the population of Uzushiogakure rises. It is expected the reserve forces will increase to three thousand"
The numbers were good to hear, mainly since the Shinobi force currently was only at about sixty, and Uzushiogakure's total population was at the sixty thousand mark. The Shinobi force was less than a percent of Uzushiogakure's total population (3), whereas the Martial Force after three years would be over thirty percent of the village's population, but by then the population would have increased again and the Shinobi forces to.
"Pick a few engineers from the R & D department and have them pulled to begin construction of the long-range cannons for Uzushiogakure's walls, afterwards increase the fortifications. See if the researchers can begin modifying the blueprints for Operation Second Gen, see if we can't begin creating those tanks or modifying them for our use. Relay to the genetics department to speed up production of the mounts." Naruto had a lot of projects going on at once but luckily had managed to gather up a large number of engineers, researchers and other occupations to assist him. Long range cannons were going to be installed along Uzushiogakure's walls to assist in the village's defences.
"As you wish." The connection with Kurama was then cut off, leaving Naruto to his thoughts. Shukaku and Matatabi had long since disconnected from the mental plain. The Uzukage rubbed his templates, a mild headache coming on. As he rubbed them, the Sage felt a pair of tender hands move his hands away and take over. Suzuka was standing behind Naruto with a warm smile as she massaged his temples for him.
"Arigatou Suzu-chan." The Sage relaxed into the chair, shutting his eyes, appearing to drift off, for now, the Immortal would relax while he could. A storm was starting to brew, and Naruto had to be prepared.
"In nine years time, we will deliver war on the World Government, the Marines and the World Nobles. In nine years time, we will be ready."
Author note:
(1) At this point in the series not all of Charlotte's children have been revealed or their ages, so I just through in an estimate of how many she would have had at this point (about eight years from canon) so anyone under the age of 10 would not have been born yet.
(2) Firearms used by Uzushiogakure will be those designed between late 1800's to early / mid-1900's.
(3) Shinobi take up 0.001% of the current population
