Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor do I own One piece.

Authors note: Sorry I haven't uploaded this story for a long time, but I was lost on the road of life.

Also, I thank every reviewer and will try to write back.

I have many problems with the story and need a beta. ( I got one, but we wrote to each other only twice, and after that, they disappeared. I hope they are all right and nothing happened to them.)

One of the problems is how to do the power levels so that I don't insult any of the communities but still show my personal opinion.

Chapter 3

A fresh start

In the distance, 14 shadows were walking on the water's surface.

When the shadows came closer, they revealed the Akatsuki members arguing.

Come on, you bony freak! You sunk our ship again. Deidara Blamed Kimimaro for the tenth time this day.

As I said, the first ship was not my fault. And how in the hell could I predict the weather? I am not a fortune teller! Kimimaro shot back.

Oh, shut a fuck up, you both. We are entirely out of food and have not seen land for 5 Months. Konan Shouted angrily while everyone put their heads down shamefully when they realized it was everyone's fault.

Hey, am I dreaming, or is that a ship with a fish head on the front. Guren exclaimed with AA.

You surely are not dreaming. Deidara spoke.

Let's check it out! Obito ran towards the ship while yelling in high pitched voice.

The Akatsuki entered the ship restaurant called barite to see a man with a weird mustache and long chefs hat throwing a blond man with curly eyebrows and a suit onto the table where sat three people a man with three katanas, a girl with orange hair and a boy with a long nous. The table broke, and the blond man who was just thrown onto the table sat up, but before he could say anything, the apparent main chef looked at the Akatsuki and said.

And what do you want?! He asked with a slightly annoyed voice while he stared at their weird cloaths.

We want a free table and a menu. Itachi spoke with his usual voice.

Sanji give them a table. The man with the long chef's hat said with irritation while he continued staring at the 14 new customers.

The man who was just thrown, now known as Sanji, stood up, Fixt the table, and directed the newcomers to the table behind the one he just was thrown on.

And what do you want to order? He asked.

When The Akatsuki members ordered and the blond man went off, a boy with a straw hat no older than 17 came and started to prepare the table.

Hey! Straw hat, do you know where we can get a ship? Because this bonehead right here sunk the last one. Kisame called out while laying his hand on Kimimaro's soldier.

How can I predict the weather and don't touch me, you fish eyes. Kimimaru spoke, nearly losing his temper.

Are you guys pirates? The straw hat boy asked.

No, we are not pirates. Haku spoke with her usual gentle voice.

Nami, the girl with the orange hair, got suspicious and went to one of the free spots on Akatsuki's table.

So you say your ship sunk, but how did you get here? Nami asked with suspicion.

We are nin! Naruto started saying but was cut off by Konan.

We are just a traveling group, and we used chakra to walk like ordinary people. She continued.

Hey, these people do not have open chakra pathways; the only one is the straw hat.

Hey, my name is Luffy, and I am going to be king of the..! Luffy started yelling, but Nami interrupted him.

And how exactly did you walk? We are in the middle of the ocean! Nami spoke with an edged tone.

Before anyone could say anything, Deidara stood up with hards in his eyes.

Allow me to show you. Half drunk, Deidara spoke like a gentleman.

Hey, Deidara, we should keep everything about ourselves a secret! Haku and the others who had a brain to think tried to tell Deidara in vain.

But their warnings remained unnoticed by Deidara. And he started walking towards the door, Nami and Luffy following him out of curiosity. The man obviously trayed to flirt with her, but she could not miss the slightly drunk man trying to walk on water. Eventually, the trio arrived at the ship's edge. The strange man was going to take the first step to the water, and the straw hat pirate members started preparing themselves to laugh. But soon, they were in utter disbelief at what had happened just in front of their eyes; the man was truly standing and walking on water.

That! That can't be true! Nami exclaimed with her mouth wide open.

So cool, Luffy shouted out and trayed to do the same thing before Nami stopped him.

Are you a devil fruit user? What are you, if not pirates, and why every one of your friends has such weird clothes on? Nami looked at him suspiciously.

Let us go inside, and then we can talk. Deidara spoke and went inside.

The two straw hats closely followed Deidara into the Baratie.

Deidara sat at his place with a Goofy expression while looking at the rest of the straw hats moving into the Akatsuki's table. While all this was happening, Haku leand into Deidaras and whispered into his year.

It would be best if you had never shown them our abilities.

I didn't show them our abilities. I just showed them normal water walking. Deidara defended himself.

Well, obviously, no one out of the elemental nations knows how to use chakra. You BAKA! Gurem uttered with desperation.

Before another fight started between the Akatsuki, Itachi spoke calmingly.

I do not think that Deidara made that big of an error hear.

How so! Ninjas should keep all their abilities and weapons a secret, no matter what! Konan hushed angrily.

Itachi means that he does not feel any hostile intent out of the straw-hat boy's crew, and if we play our cards right, we can get some allies out of them. Nagato spoke instead of Itachi.

Just when the Akatsuki was finished discussing. All the straw hats sat at their table.

Naruto looked at them and saw four people. The first one from the left had a straw hat, and wore a goofy expression. The boy's name was Luffy, and he seemed to be the captain. Naruto moved to the next man. He had three swords, green hair, and a black bandana. The man was maybe the second mate of the crew. Naruto was suddenly brought back from his thoughts by Luffy's enthusiastic yell.

So can you all join my crew?! Luffy called out while the other members of his crew sweat dropped.

Oh, come on, we were going to ask them their origins, their standing in the world, and then were we going to ask them to join! Zoro screamed to Luffy animatedly.

Well, we won't join your pirate crew, but we can offer a partnership agreement. Itachi said with his usual voice.

Yeah, we can be buddy crews or something like that. Naruto spoke with much more enthusiasm.

But before that, we must introduce ourselves. I am Nagato Uzumaki. Nagato said and smiled warmly.

Oh, sorry, I forgot. I am Itachi Uchiha. Itachi also smiled brightly.

I am Naruto Uzumaki, and we are the Akatsuki! Naruto grinds and extends his hand toward Luffy.

And I am Monkey D Luffy, the Capitan Of the straw hat pirates. Luffy grinds back and grabs Naruto's hand.

After the rest of the instructions were over, the Akatsuki and the Mujiwara Pirates ate and drank together.

You all introduced yourselves, but you never said where you were from. Nami asked Naruto While the rest of the Akatsuki froze.

Well, you see, we are all from the elemental nations. Naruto replayed calmly.

I have never heard of such a place; where is it? Nami was hyped to learn more.

It is on the far side of the east blue, and it isn't even on the map. If you like, I can take you there someday.

That would be awesome! Usop screamed in excitement while Namies eyes had maps on them.

Later, the moment for the bill came when the group had already eaten and ended their conversation about the Akatsuki's origins.

Here is the bill, sir. One of the chefs gave the bill to Naruto.

Naruto took out a scroll and unsealed a massive amount of golden Ryo. Then he took the amount that read on the bill and proceeded giving it to the chef.

Here you go, sir. Naruto smiled.

Sorry, sir, but we do not take the currency here. The chef looked weirdly at Naruto.

Before the situation could continue, Zoro spoke.

The bill is on me!" Zoro grind" But if Zabuza spars with me.

Zabuza looked at Zoro and accepted his challenge while the second maid of the Straw hat pirates proceeded to pay the bill. And Naruto sealed the Ryo back into his scroll.

Later on that day, at the going marries deck. Two men stood before each other. One had a long Nodachi bokken, while the other had 3 Uchi katana bokken, one in his bought hands and the third in his mouth.

On the sidelines, every member of the newly formed Akatsuki Straw hat aliens watched the coming Spar with anticipation. Then two men known as Jony and Yosaku yield.

Go, Go, Zoro Aniki!

The moment they yielded, Zoro dashed toward Zabuza and tried a left vertical cut, proceeded by an upper right slash. Zabuza Dodged the first attack, parried the second one, and counter-attacked with a strong downward slash.

Zoro's balance was disturbed by his last failed attack, and he had not enough time to dodge, so he intercepted Zabuza's boken with two of his, and they engaged in a show of strength. Soon Zoro realized that the former mist swordsman had much more raw power than him, so he jumped back and spoke with a grin.

You are way better than I thought. But I will win this.

Huh, You are not bad yourself, but I don't believe that you are good enough yet to defeat me. Zabuza grind back while showing his shark-like teeth.

At the same time, on the sidelines, Nami was thinking. "They have a second fish man on their crew," Nami was kind of confused, but she didn't want to ask and wasn't stupid enough to associate every fish man with Arlong.

Zoro raised his bokken, took a more profound stance, and said Onigiri while dashing towards Zabuza.

When Zoro dashed toward Zabuza, Zabuza noticed a small opening in Zoro's lower body, and he let Zoro come at him. At the same time, he stopped the Onigiri with his bokken and hit Zoro in the stomach with his other hand.

The Spar was over, and all the straw hats were surprised.

How? Zoro Aniki lost the spar! Jony and Yousaku were surprised.

You won the first hit challenge! Zoro was surprised.

You have good technique, but your mid-body has openings and. Zabuza spoke but was interrupted by Luffy.

You Bought were Awesome. He said, starry-eyed.

Luffy, why are you here? Didn't you have work? All the straw hats yield at Luffy.

Ohh, yes, I have work, but Naruto saved me from it with our little secret. He grinned goofily.

After the Spar was over, the Akatsuki and The straw hat pirates partied while a clone of Naruto, who was transformed into Luffy, did the work in the Baratie.

Before two months at Marine HQ.

A shadowy figure with an afro and a braided beard sat in his office and looked over the Admiral whom he had called for a new escort mission.

Kizaru, I have a new assignment for you. The shadowy figure said.

Ow that is interesting, Sengoku. A tall man with a thin beard, a yellow suit, and a goofy monkey grin responded.

I have told you to call me Fleet-admiral or sir! But anyway, here are the mission details. You need to escort Saint Jonson, a world Nobel to East blue and back to the Holy Land Of Marie Joie. The man now known as Sengoku, the fleet admiral, spoke.

And why is sir Saint Jonson going to the east blue? Kizaru, the Admiral under the command of Sengoku, asked.

Sir Saint Jonson is going to visit the Pirate King's execution platform in Louge town and wants you to escort him and his two pets. Sengoku spoke with a bit of disdain showing in his voice.

End of the flashback

It was the following day, and the sun started rising. The sun revealed 14 people walking on water; they were the Akatsuki, and they were headed toward Louge town.

How long before we arrive? We are bored! Deidara and Hidan wined.

As I said, if we continue this pace in 12 days, but if we start running at our average speed, we will be there today at noon! Kimimaro stated.

Let's go, then! Deidara started running.

The last one there is a looser! Naruto shouted and also started running.

One hour later, the Akatsuki arrived in Louge town. When the Akatsuki entered the city, they were greeted by streets full of life, shops, and decoration. Zabuza and the other Akatsuki members were confused about the avenue's decorations.

Haku, do you know what is up with these decorations? Zabuza asked Haku.

I have no idea. Maybe there is a holiday coming or a festival. Haku was as uncertain as Zbuza.

Well, there is only one way to get the information. Guren spoke and got closer to Haku and Zabuza.

And what is it? Kimimaro questioned stoically, and the other members got closer to the Gurem with curious expressions.

By asking! She said while the other's sweat dropped.

That's it! Tobi could never figure that out by himself; thank you, miss Guren! Obito spoke like a maniac in his Toby personality.

Oh no, here we go again. Everyone screamed in horror while walking the city streets.

Come on Guren sempai lets ask! Tobi articulated crazily.

Ok...ok...okay. Gurem was wierded out of "Tobis" crazynes the second time.

While the others continued walking, Obito was crazing out, and others were yet again weirded out; Guren stopped and asked one of the decorators why is he decorating the city.

Ahh, excuse me, sir! But why are you decorating the city? Gurem questioned awkwardly.

A man as tall as Guren and with bright cloaths turned to see a beautiful lady with clothes that had red clouds on them.

Hi! You must not be from here. The decorator stated.

Yes, I just arrived today. Gurem said.

Well, then, let me tell you why we are decorating the city. The man spoke.

Okay, I am listening.

Tomorrow morning Saint Jonson and Admiral Kizaru will be visiting the Pirate king's Execution platform.

Now I know that the pirate king was the greatest pirate and that boy wanted to be the pirate king, but who the hell is Saint Jonson and Kizaru? Guren thought.

And who is Saint Jonson or Admiral Kizaru, sir? Guren asked, a bit confused.

Don't you know who Admiral Kizaru is? He is the fastest man alive; kizaru can move at the speed of light and is one of the highest-ranking marines on the planet.

Oh, I see! And what about Saint Jonson?

Have you lived under a rock your whole life? Saint Jonson is a world Nobel and owns many cities in the north blue. I can't tell you more because it is forbidden to talk about the holy people's business. But it is said that he is ruthless and has many slaves, but that isn't even the craziest part; they say that marines are behind his back even if they know that he kills and enslaves anyone who doesn't have the same opinion as him. He whispered into her year.

Thank you, sir, for sharing! Have a nice day. She said and started running to catch up with her group.

What a weird lady. The decorator thought.

Gurem caught up to the others.

What did you find out? Naruto questioned curiously.

Yeah, what is up with the decorations? Konan continued with her blank face.

Well, apparently, tomorrow morning, an admiral and some corrupt officials are coming to visit the city.

That is interesting. Did the guy know anything else? Nagato displayed interest.

Yes. The man said that the corrupt official was a world Nobel, his name was Saint Jonson, and he had the whole world government behind his back supporting him no matter what he does, even enslaving other people.

Dmmn! That makes me so angry I want to destroy him! Naruto nearly shouted while they were going deeper and deeper into the city.

Be quiet, you brat! Everyone can hear you. Kurama conveyed in Naruto's seal.

I am sorry! Naruto apolagayzed.

By the way, can you switch with me for a while? I want to walk and be in control.

Okay, I don't see why you want to, but it's okay.

Hey, Naruto, can't we do something to help? Konan asked.

I am just thinking of a plan. Kurama spoke from narutos body.

Ohh, the fox is awake. Hidan spoke mockingly.

Know to discuss the plan, we need some quiet place. But let us hear first about the Admiral. Kurama said throw Narutos body.

The Akatsuki was soon headed to the city's dark alleys while Kuren started explaining about the Admiral.

The Admiral's name is Kizaru, and he is supposedly the fastest man in the world; they say he can go as fast as light.

I can go three times faster than that Kizaru guy in my six paths sage mode. Naruto bosted while fighting for control over his own body.

It would be best never to underestimate your opponent, Naruto. Itachi spoke wisely.

I know, I know, ready, Itachi. Naruto spoke annoyedly.

Yes, finally, some good battle! Kisame charmed in.

Let's first hear everything you know about this Kizaru guy. And then, we will decide what the best cause of action is. Sasori interrupted the other exited Akatsuki members.

Okay, like I was saying, he is the fastest person alive, but he also is one of the highest-ranking members of this world military. Kuren continued

Damn, that is a formidable opponent to test my art against. Deidara shouted in excitement.

When Kuren was finished dispatching the now-known facts about the Admiral, they arrived at a dead-end alley full of trash cans.

This is an excellent spot to discuss our plan. Kurama spoke from Narutos body.

Good now, I am fighting him. Zabuza spoke with excitement.

No, everyone knows that I and my art will fight him. Deidara nearly yield!

If anyone is going to fight him, it is going to be me. Kurama switched with Naruto.

Shut up, you all; my bone release is perfect for this. Kimimaro said coldly.

Now now! Let our first thing of a plan, and then we can discuss who will Battle the Admiral. Haku brocks the boys bickering when she saw Itachi trying to say something.

Thank you, Haku. Before we do anything, we must set an objective. And I know just one. Itachi talked in a monotone.

Ara ara! What is the goal? Itachi sempai! Obito yet again switched to Tobi.

The rest of the Akatsuki member's sweat dropped, and Itachi continued his goal proposal.

Our goal should be to kidnap the world Nobel alive and interrogate him for more knowledge on the hire-ups.

That is a good one, but should we do it? Konan questioned.

I have a plan! Nagato started talking.

Obito will kidnap the world Nobel with his Kamui, while two others will push-pack the Admiral and his other escorts. Nagato continued after a few minutes of thinking.

That sounds good, but who will push back the enemy, and what will the rest do while the others are having fun? Sasori asked.

The perfect pick's for making the time window would be Zabuza and Itachi. And the rest of us will provide help if needed, and if enslaved people are with him, we will help them!

Why Itachi and Zabuza, and how can you know that there would be enslaved people with him? Naruto spoke with a bit of jealousy.

Itachi and Zabuza are the perfect picks because they don't rely on raw destruction to defeat their foes like you, me, and Deidara. Nagato explained. And also, they bought have nearly mastered the teleportation Jutsu you gave them.

What about the enslaved people? You said there would be some, and we need to help them. Guren asked.

I am not sure, but I think he will come with enslaved people because the sea is harsh, and it is expensive to pay for sailors. Nagato presented his point.

Okay, that is the valet point, but how will we travel when they can't walk on water? Naruto asked dumbly.

Obviously, by stealing their ship. Nagato responded.

Oww, Now I see why they need the teleportation Jutsu

Does everyone agree with the plan? Konan asked instead of Nagato.

Everyone nodded their head, even if some were displeased because they won't fight.

Then, the Akatsuki started exiting the back alleys.

I was thinking of the battle that will happen tomorrow and about that guy who can move with the speed of light. And in the process, that made me question how fast Hirashin is or the other teleportation seal you gave us. Haku asked Naruto.

Well... Think of the Hirashin as more like stopping time and instantly appearing at the receiving seal. It doesn't require speed. It just transports you the same instant it is activated. So I must say that Hirashin is faster than whatever technique that Kizaru guy will use tomorrow.

While Naruto was talking with Haku, Other members of the Akatsuki were concerned about the night.

Hey! Nagato, where would we stay until the morning? Kisame asked with his shark grin.

I don't know. Nagato thought about what they should do until the morning while walking with the rest of the Akatsuki.

Well, we can set up the battlefield with traps. Itachi suggested.

That is a good idea, and after that, we can go to a nightclub. Deidara spoke.

Yeah! Nightclub! Guren, Kisame, Konan, Obito and Zabuza yeld in joy.

But wait, we don't have any money! All of them yelled animatedly in horror.

End of chapter 3

Authors notes

Many people will say that Naruto characters cannot reach light speed, but you would be wrong. Even in Data book one in the Hakus introduction, it is said that.

"it is possible to move between the mirrors at the speed of light."

Keep in mind, "It is possible," So that does not mean that Haku was fighting at the speed of light. He and, in my story, she was holding back. But we see the speed of light when Haku jumped in front of Kakashi's lightning blade.

If you still don't believe me, then let's take a look at the same Data book in the part: Anbu black ops special operation for the Hokage!

"As fast as light, their deadly techniques break throw enemy defenses."

Of course, it would be weird if every anbu was light speed, so I interpret this statement as only for the most elite Anbu. But it is up to the interpretation.

And now for the one-piece fans who believe that foxy's light beam and the pacifistas Lazer attack are light speed.

And I have a solid argument for why they are not. And we see the straw hats evading bought of those, but when they went against Kizaru, they didn't have a chance even to react. And Kizaru has the light lougia, so it will make sense that he will be just that Light speed.

But nothing of these matters since everything is up to interpretation and opinion! So feel free to have your own thoughts on the subject!

And most importantly, know that this is only my opinion!

Lonely driver out!
