Chapter 4

"You can't be here!"

"We'll call the Marines!"

"Yeah, get outta here, pirates!"

A large crowd of villagers were standing in front of a group of so-tired-I-can't-take-this-crap-anymore looking pirates. The lead pirate appeared to have vibrant red hair and three diagonal scars crossing his left eye. A straw hat was on his head. He was wearing a white, half-buttoned shirt leaving part of his chest exposed, with a long red sash tied around his waist that held a wicked-looking saber on the right side. He had on slightly loose tan/brown pants which ended below the knees, with golden yellow buttons on the outside. On top of all this, he wore a black cloak. Naruto, having gone straight to the local book collection( it was too small to be called a library) as soon as he had eaten his first ramen bowl (along with some training right after-more on that later), recognized him as Red Haired Shanks. But what was a Yonko doing in the measly, weak East Blue? Naruto walked closer to get a better look. Since he had a fairly good influence on the villagers, he was given room to walk as the people around him yelled profanities.

Akagami Shanks was too old for this shit. Well, maybe he wouldn't admit he was old, but whatever. Glancing around at the crowd of both men and women, he narrowed his eyes at the small, blond child who was making his way closer. The people cursing him(Shanks, not Naruto) were politely giving the kid room to get past them. Huh. Must be an important kid. Son of the village leader, maybe? Was there even a village leader? A mayor, perhaps?

"Oi, blond kid! Yeah, you in the red shorts!" he called. The crowd (and his crew) quieted. The boy looked up at him with large, blue eyes. He cocked his head in question. Shanks continued. "You've got some major influence on the villagers! Are you the son of someone important?" he asked.

Naruto had no idea what to say. Sure, he was the son of Yondaime, but he was in a different world now.

Shaking his head, he replied, "No. I'm an orphan. I never knew my parents." The red haired pirate's brows furrowed. Naruto kept talking. "Anyway, what is someone of your importance and caliber doing here? You are the all-powerful pirate emperor, Akagami Shanks, aren't you? Why are you in the weakest ocean, much less this tiny island?"

Hearing this, there was a series of collective gasps and murmurs throughout the crowd.

"Shanks?"

"Akagami Shanks?"

"The Pirate Emperor?"

"What's he doing here? Will the Marines be able to handle him?"

Shanks and his crew shifted in place.

"Look!" Shanks proclaimed, and the crowd quieted. "I'm not gonna hurt anybody, alright! My crew and I just wish to stay here for a couple months. That's all." At this, more outbreaks broke out.

"As if!"

"Yeah, you'll just kill us if we piss you off!"

"Get outta here!"

"Quiet, please!" called a young voice. The group turned to where it came from: the blond kid. His expression was neutral as he was neither smiling nor frowning. An old man with a long white beard and brown eyes stepped forward (No, he's just a random guy I made up. No one significant!)

"What's wrong, Naruto?" he asked.

Shanks blinked. So Naruto was his name. Huh. He'd have to remember that.

"Why not give him a chance? If he is as powerful as I imagine, he would have killed us already if he wanted to. Plus, it looks like Luffy likes him, too." Naruto suggested, pointing at an excited looking child with black hair and wide eyes and a big grin. Surprisingly, there was no yelling or shouts from the crowd. They all just calmly nodded, digesting the info. Numerous "Okay"s and "Fine"s were heard as the people dispersed.

Shanks sighed in relief; he could hear his crew doing the same, as their bodies relaxed from the tension from before. Luffy jumped up and down next to Naruto as they walked forwards.

"Are you a pirate?" the black haired boy asked. Shanks nodded with a proud smile. Luffy whooped. "So COOL!" He was cut off when Naruto's fist plunged itself into his head. As Luffy whined, Naruto scolded him.

"Don't goof off now, Luffy! Now isn't the time; can't you see they are tired?!" he chastised, but with a happy smile firmly glued to his face. Luffy yawned.

"Now go to bed, kid. Shanks, your crew members can follow him to the nearest place to stay in. " As the men of Shanks' crew walked after the excited Luffy, talking and laughing, Naruto watched, smiling contentedly.

Now, the only ones standing on the street were Naruto and Shanks. Standing still, Naruto eyed Shanks as he walked slowly and tiredly past him to the house. Shanks looked him in the eye.

"But if you do hurt any one of us, especially Luffy... I'll kill you personally or die trying, no matter what your crew mates do. Got it?" he whispered dangerously, and Shanks caught a glimpse of a black and red rippled eye. This was no longer the innocent kid who hit his brother playfully. This boy, Naruto, sounded like a trained warrior. Trained to kill. Shanks had a feeling that Naruto would actually come to kill him if he hurt anyone, especially Luffy. He gulped, and nodded curtly. He blinked, and glanced at Naruto again. But the blond was nowhere to be found. Looking forward again, he murmured, "What are you, kid?"
