A/N: I'm writing this with a friend, and neither of us have ever done this before, so it might start out a little slow and choppy, but we will try to get better as we get the hang of this. This is a crossover of Naruto and One Piece, taking place in the Naruto world. There will be a lot of scene changes in this chapter, but those should decline as the story progresses. Please R&R

Thoughts - 'idiot'

Speech – "Ramen!"

Scene change ————————————————————————————

Chapter One – Don't Mess with Ice Sculptors

As the captain strolled out onto the deck, he noted that it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the sky was clear, there were pirates on the horizon, the water was— wait a minute, PIRATES! What were pirates doing in these waters? The Fire country guarded these waters from all dangers. The captain roared, "Weigh anchor! Batten down the hatches! Turn to port side!—"

"Sir—"

"Shiver me timbers! Thar she blows!—"

"SIR! One, weighing the anchor will keep us from going anywhere, two, battening down the hatches only helps during a storm, and as you noted at the beginning of this story, it is a beautiful day, and last but not least, the PIRATES are to the port side, we need to turn to starboard to escape! Now as soon as you exhaust you nautical vocabulary, we can get out of here." The first mate ranted.

"Fine, but it's so much more fun my way." The captain grumbled

Elsewhere, a certain blonde ninja was hopping around impatiently as he waited for the three minutes needed for the instant ramen to cool from the boiling water.

"One, three, same difference, right? Naruto shoveled the still boiling ramen into his mouth, at which point he learned just how much of a difference two minutes can make.

"H-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-T!" Naruto screamed as he ran through the village looking for something to cool his burning mouth. Luckily for him, there just happened to be an ice sculpting contest.

Five minutes later

Hinata was walking back from her early morning meditation, thinking about Naruto, as usual. "Naruto-kun" she whispered.

BAM!

Hinata felt herself bulldozed by a familiar-looking orange blur. As her vision cleared, she realized that the object of her thoughts was currently lying on top of her.

"Hey Hinata! What are you doing down here?"

Hinata blushed deeply. "S-s-sorry N-naruto-kun."

"What are you apologizing for?", Looking behind him, Naruto quickly jumped up, still holding Hinata's arm. "Oh well, let's get going. I think I have to be somewhere."

'Naruto-kun is holding my arm, oh please don't let this be a dream, please don't let this be a dream' Hinata's thoughts were all jumbled; the object of her secret affections wanted to go somewhere with her. "N-naruto-ku—"

"No time to talk now, let's go. Oh, and don't look behind you, no matter what you hear." Naruto told her, practically dragging her behind him now.

"O-ok Naruto-kun" Hinata replied as she struggled to match his pace. If she had been thinking clearly and looked back when Naruto mentioned it, she may have had less trouble keeping up with the blond ninja. For, not fifty meters behind them, was an angry mob wielding ice picks and hammers, and it was headed in their direction, fast.

Still elsewhere, a small pirate ship sailed into a hidden harbor. Unfortunately for them, it was occupied by the ninjas of Hidden Harbor. After quickly dealing with both of them, the pirates decided to make camp.

"Ok. We've arrived at another island in the Grand Line, and like—" A female voice started.

"Do you think there's meat here?" The captain interrupted.

Ignoring that comment, the woman continued, "—And like the last fifteen times, we'll have to find supplies—"

"Like meat?" The captain questioned.

"—While we scout the area for enemies. Two—"

"Can we get some meat now?"

"—Two of us will stay wi—"

Unable to contain himself any longer, the captain blurted "So is that a yes or a no?"

After beating her captain senseless with a familiar board that just happened to have some nails in it, She continued, "Two of us will stay with the ship, while the rest go ashore.

Five of the pirates left for shore, but not without a comment from the captain.

"We are getting meat, right?"

After Naruto and Hinata escaped from the mob due to an incident involving an ice cream truck, a telephone pole, and 600 feet of cable, the two were resting on the outskirts of the village in a conveniently located ramen stand. Hinata was absently fiddling with her first bowl of ramen while watching Naruto finish his twelfth bowl. She still couldn't believe she was with him; it was like a dream come true. Naruto noticed that Hinata didn't seem to be eating her ramen, so he commented, "What's wrong? Don't you like ramen?"

Hinata started from her daydream. "No Naruto-kun, it's not that …" she replied, blushing uncontrollably. "It's just —Naruto-kun, what's that commotion outside?" Hinata asked, grateful for the interruption.

"Uh-oh. Hey, Ramen Guy, if they're looking for a blond kid with blond hair, blue eyes, and scratches on his cheeks, you haven't seen him!"

"What are you talking about? There's just some guy outside running around like a chicken with its head cut off, yelling something about an invasion. Why would people be looking for you?"

"Uh, never mind. Forget everything I just said."

Naruto and Hinata left the ramen stand in order to find out what the hysterical man was screaming about.

"Hey you, what's all the racket about?"

"They've landed on the shore!"

"Who's landed on the shore?"

"PIRATESPIRATESPIRATESPIRATES!"

CONK! Thump.

The man slumped to the ground, unconscious. "Oops, I was just trying to get him unstuck, Oh well. Come on Hinata, let's go see if we can find those pirates he mentioned."

"Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Shouldn't we tell Hokage-sama about this?

"Nah. Obaa-chan has enough to deal with already. And besides, no pirates would stand a chance against us, Hinata."

"Ok Naruto-kun, if you say so."

As Luffy and his gang unknowingly approach Konoha, they notice a pair of figures in spandex doing push-ups while yelling about the 'fire of youth'. Intrigued, Luffy calls out to the smaller of the two, "What are you doing?"

"We're training so that we may become stronger and increase the fire of youth within us."

"Okaay", Luffy replied, "Anyway, I'm Luffy and this is my crew of mmph." Nami had placed a hand over his mouth and finished his sentence.

"Merchants, we're his crew of merchants. Who are you?"

"I'm Rock Lee, and this is my sensei, Gai." The two simultaneously yelled, "JOIN US FOR TRAINING! I CAN SENSE THAT THE FIRE OF YOUTH BURNS STRONG IN YOU!"

While the rest of the crew slowly backed away, Luffy responded with an enthusiastic "ALRIGHT!" and promptly joined Lee and Gai-sensei.

The rest of the crew immediately slapped their foreheads with the same thought running through their minds. 'I hope these two aren't normal for the people of this island'

"Luffy, what ARE you doing, you dumbass? Zoro screamed.

Sanji swiftly followed that remark with a kick to the jaw that brought Luffy, who was still doing push-ups, to his feet. After a few minutes of air push-ups, Luffy realized that something had changed, for the push-ups were much easier than they had been. Zoro and Sanji quickly teamed up in order to drag Luffy away from the "Spandex Duo" before he could further make a fool of himself.

"Bye Lee! Bye Gai!" Luffy yelled as he was dragged off.

The group soon came upon a large wall. Luffy, being his usual self, catapulted himself over the wall with Gum-Gum Rocket. The last thing the group heard before Luffy went over the wall was "THE FIRE OF YOUTH IS WITHIN ME!"

A/N: This is our first fanfiction, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We will be coming out with the next chapter as soon as possible, but we will try to work in anything our reviewers would like to see, and we mean anything. Nothing is too crazy for us. We are thinking about having Kyuubi comment on Naruto's actions & conversations in a manner similar to that of Where Eagles Dare by dave-d. Read it if you haven't already; it integrates comedy and seriousness better than any other fic I've read. Please let us know if you would be interested in that idea. Please review!
