A/N: And so the Alabasta Arc begins to end. After the next chapter I plan to do some fillers. I was planning to do a lot but I changed my mind. They're going to be rather interesting and based more on Naruto... not any of the One Piece fillers from this time... But they won't begin until chapter 121. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 119: Farewell My Friends

Igaram got the bedroom, to find Vivi, talking to Choji, Shikamaru, Temari and Kankuro… but found the Straw Hats and Yugito were gone.

"Where are they?" asked Igaram.

"They left, Yugito went to escort them" said Vivi.

In the desert… the crew rode on the Spot Billed Ducks. Nami was the quietest out of all of them.

"What wrong Nami?" asked Sakura.

"It's okay… it just depends on what Vivi chooses." Said Kiba.

"It's just that." whimpered Nami.

"What?" asked Yugito.

"I'll let it go for her sakes." Said Nami, "The Billion Berry reward Igaram promised us."

"You better!" yelled everyone else.

"I still wonder what he wants." Said Sasuke.

(Flashback)

The crew was discussing their plans. When someone came in with a snail phone.

"Who is it?" asked Luffy.

"Someone named Bon-Chan." Said the servant.

Everyone exchanged looks.

"Do you know a Bon-Chan?" asked Luffy.

"I don't think anyone here knows a Bon-Chan." Said Shikamaru.

"He claims to be a friend." Said the servant.

"Just set it down." Said Luffy.

Sanji was the one who picked up.

"Hello! Hello! It's me!" yelled the person on the other end.

Everyone who recognized the voice sweat dropped. Sanji hung it up immediately, it began to ring again.

Luffy this time was the one to pick it up.

"What do you want you swan?" asked Luffy.

"Oh is that you Straw Hat? You're strong and you surprised me!" said the person on the other end, "Oh and don't call me Mr. 2 here, we don't know if the marines are listening."

"You just said the name yourself!" yelled everyone else.

"Oh right! I've taken your ship." Said Mr. 2 on the other end.

"You got be joking!" yelled everyone.

"Tell us where you are right now!" yelled Naruto.

"I'm on your ship." Said Mr. 2 on the other end.

Everyone began to yell at him.

"Why would he take the ship?" asked Gaara.

"I don't know…" said Temari.

"Man, I want to see his face when he sees you joined the crew." Laughed Kankuro.

After they hung up they made their plans. Since he told them where the ship was.

"So looks like we have a plan." Said Naruto.

"Will you not do that?" asked Sasuke.

"Bite me Emo Duck Head." Said Naruto.

The two began to glare at each other.

"If it turns out to be a trap we'll kick his ass." Said Sanji.

"We should go." Said Hinata.

"I don't know what to do." Said Vivi.

The crew all looked at each other.

"Okay here's the plan. We'll give you 12 hours to deicide. That gives us time to recapture the ship. At noon tomorrow we'll dock at the eastern shore." Said Nami, "We won't be able to drop anchor." Explained Nami, "If you're there, that will be your one and only chance to take you as a fellow pirate."

They all began to escape through the window.

"You're a princess, we can't offer you much." Said Sakura.

"Come on Vivi! Come with us now!" yelled Luffy.

"Shut up Luffy!" said Sasuke.

"Don't tell my brother to shut up." Said Naruto.

"I'm coming with you, to make sure your all right." Said Yugito.

"Thank you so much Yugito!" said Sanji happily.

(End of Flashback)

The crew arrived at the ship, after saying good-bye to the ducks they had to the deal with the (probably former) enemy.

"What are you doing?" asked Luffy.

"Is that any way to talk to a friend?" asked Mr. 2.

"Friend, you're our enemy!" yelled Naruto.

"Then what's he doing here?" asked Mr. 2 pointing to Gaara.

"He's trying to have a new life, filled with friends." Said Naruto.

"He's right." Said Gaara.

"But he tried to kill me!" yelled Mr. 2.

"He tried to kill me too." Said Naruto, "But I forgave him."

"I guess it has to with the demons." Mumbled Mr. 2.

"What was that?" asked Naruto, Gaara and Yugito glaring at him very harshly.

"Nothing! Nothing!" cried Mr. 2.

"Why did you even capture our ship?" asked Luffy.

"What deux you think would what happened if I didn't get involved?" asked Mr. 2.

"It might have been captured by the Marines." Said Nami.

"No it would have been captured, definitely! No might… they would have captured it for sure." Said Mr. 2.

"Then you saved our ship for us?" asked Luffy happily.

"That's right! After all we're friends." Said MR 2.

That was when Mr. 2, along with Luffy, Naruto, Kiba, Akamaru, Usopp and Chopper all began to celebrate.

"Naruto!" called out Yugito.

Naruto topped dancing with and when to the edge of the ship.

"Well this is where I leave." Said Yugito, she gave the thumbs up, "I'm rooting for you."

Naruto gave a big grin.

"I hope we will meet again!" said Naruto.

"I know we will." Said Yugito.

"Who is that?" asked Mr. 2.

"The Raikage." Said Naruto.

"You know Naruto with him here…" said Kyubi.

"I don't want know what's going on through your head, nor do I want to…" said Naruto.

That was when Naruto noticed that Mr. 2's ship was there.

"So I guess they're coming along too." Said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"Well I guess your bro is finally getting a start to his Armada." Said Kyubi.

The next morning, in the palace, Igaram had a bad dream about Vivi becoming a pirate so he ran into the room he was hopping she would be in. To find her getting changed.

"Good morning Igaram. Why are you sweating?" asked Vivi.

"Um… well…" said Igaram.

"If you have nothing to say then get out." Said the wife of Shikaku and mother of Shikamaru, Yoshino.

Igaram left, he didn't want to anger both his wife and Yoshino.

Vivi was preparing for a speech and ceremony that was supposed to be done when she turned 14, but due to her undercover work in Baroque Works.

Out in the sea, the Straw Hats (now with two ships) were having problems, they were surrounded by Marines. Not only that but the ship was being pierced by many metal spears.

"Oh man this is bad!" shouted Naruto.

"It is…" said Hina holding a pair of binoculars, "The one driving the spears is Tenten."

"Tenten? Who's that?" asked Nami.

"Neji's girlfriend." Answered Hinata.

"He does have a girlfriend!" yelled Naruto in shock.

"Yes." Said Hinata, "But I heard stories. That she never misses her mark. They call her Ten out of Ten Tenten." Said Hinata.

"That's hard to say." Said Luffy.

"Wait I heard of her!" said one of Mr. 2's men form the nearby ship, "She's a member of Captain Hina's crew."

"What!" yelled Mr. 2.

Nearby Sanji, Luffy and Naruto saw two Marine that were very familiar… Fullbody who has sense gotten a demotion as well Jango who was a Marine for some reason… must be some sort of off screen thing that happened or something or other.

"Wait! I thought that weird hypnotist was a pirate!" said Naruto.

"Well looks like Wacko Jacko found a new job… I would have thought something involving an amusement park or something… something about never wanting to grow up." Said Kyubi, "Oh and to those reading this, it's not in bad taste, it's been almost a year and the Nostalgia Critic already a joke about him… months ago… okay!"

"Who are you talking to?" thought Naruto.

"Um… never mind… ignore that!" said Kyubi.

Jango was about to hypnotize them (or at least try to due to the fact that Naruto is immune in a way)… However Usopp shot the ship with a canon.

"That was lucky." Said Kyubi.

That was when Luffy saw Mr. 2 was in argument with Hinata of all people.

"We have to go now!" yelled Mr. 2, "We have to sail though that hole we created."

"We can't though." Said Hinata.

"Why not! You know what's she capable of." Said Mr. 2.

"What's going on?" asked Luffy.

"I figured out who's leading the Marines and he wants us to run away." Said Hinata.

"The marine is a dangerous one and she will capture us!" said Mr. 2.

"But we have to go back for a friend." Said Luffy.

"For a friend?" asked Mr. 2.

That was when he began to cry.

"All right listen carefully to what I have to say. I have a plan so you can go get your friend." Said Mr. 2.

And so they used a plan of Mr. 2's where he disguised himself as Luffy, used a clone of Naruto in place of Naruto and used the crew as a decoy for the Marines. The crew watched as they were captured in their place. Naruto were among the few crying.

"You know kit… this could have been avoided if you just filled the ship with transformed clones…" said Kyubi.

Naruto's eye twitched.

"Why didn't you tell me that before?" asked Naruto.

"I don't know…" said Kyubi, "Maybe I guessed that you think of something."

"Sometimes I really hate you…" thought Naruto.

And so after a short fight with a Marine ship, they got to the port, Vivi wasn't there and was giving a speech by Snail Phone.

"Vivi's giving the speech." Said Zoro, "She isn't coming."

"She's coming! I know it." Said Luffy.

:But she's giving the speech." Said Sakura.

"It's probably a fake." Said Luffy, "There's probably someone there acting as a decoy."

That was when Naruto felt his inner demon stir.

"What is it?" asked Naruto.

"I sense a disturbance in the force." Said Kyubi.

Naruto blinked, he didn't want to know what that was about.

As they were preparing to leave, they heard Vivi shout "You guys!"

They turned to see Vivi in the company of Carue, Shikamaru, Choji, Temari and Kankuro.

"Turn the ship around!" yelled Luffy.

But before they could do that… this happened.

"I've come to say goodbye!" yelled Vivi.

Vivi grabbed the microphone.

"I can't go with you." Said Vivi, "When it comes down to it, I love my kingdom! That's why I can't come!"

Vivi began to cry, as her four guards watched her.

"I'm going to stay here… but we ever meet again! Will you call me your ship mate?" cried Vivi.

Luffy and Naruto was about to yell something out, when Sakura stopped them.

"The Marines are watching Vivi!" whispered Sakura, "If we yell anything out they're arrest her!"

"We have to take our leave quietly." Said Nami.

As they sailed away, Vivi cried, knowing they couldn't say goodbye. But she was wrong. With the exception of the new member Gaara. Each member showed the x on their arms. Showing the sign that they would always be crewmembers…. No matter what!

Next Time: As the Straw Hats sail away they discover they have a stowaway! Who is it? Why did they stow away? Was it a member of Baroque Works or someone else? Find out next time!
