Chapter 21

"Jirayia, do you know what that loud sound coming from upstairs is?" Tsunade asks her companion a year later.

"It's the kids. My best guess is that it's Sasuke and Naruto. Though it could be Suigetsu and Hinata. I suppose I should be fair, there are some other couples it could be. Though nine times out of ten, it's them or Itachi and Gaara." He muses.

Tsunade blinks. Now she knew what that racket was. It was one of the pirate couples indulging in a rather passionate round of lovemaking. She knew that it was the Isle of Lust, but damn. She had never actually heard of someone making the bed move before.

"Well I just came over to see if you have anymore ale. I'm all out. These pirates all drink like fish." She says.

"Oh yes. I have some. Take whatever you need." The other Sannin says.

"Thank you. It's strange. I still can't believe that they showed up one day, wanting to move here and to buy the Isle of the Lost." She muses as she remembers that bizarre incident.

"Tsunade! We've got company!" Jirayia called out in a startled voice.

Indeed they did. Lots of pirates. Naruto was the first one to bound through the door. He was wearing some rather fine clothes. They were probably worth their weight in gold.

"Don't worry, old man and granny. We just want to talk. So I was wondering if anyone had bought Orochimaru's Island yet? Cause we be very interested in doing so!" He chimed merrily.

Tsunade and Jirayia blinked. The pirates wanted to buy the Isle of the Lost? As they were processing that shocking revelation, more and more pirates came in. Some of them were wearing uniforms from the English fleet!

"We ain't selling to anyone sailing for a country." The busty blonde woman stated.

"Oh they aren't sailing for England anymore. They sail for us. It's a long story." Sasuke said.

Shikamaru shook his head. He could see that he was going to have to step in here to prevent a disaster. It was a drag, but someone had to do it.

"Besides, do you really want to argue with us? You are outnumbered here. You can either sell us the island and make a lot of money or you we can just take it." He stated with shrug.

The two remaining Sannin gulped. That was a good point. They reluctantly sold Orochimaru's island without any further questions.

Since then the crews had all made their home in the Triangle of Death. Sasuke and Naruto ruled over the Island of the Lost. Itachi and Gaara were now in charge of the Liquor Isle. Finally, Jirayia and Tsunade were now jointly presiding over the Lust Isle. (Apparently, Jirayia wasn't going to give up his "baby" that easily.)

In a very bizarre way, the pirate crews (and former sailors) had become like their grandchildren. Tsunade and Jirayia often referred to them as the kids or the brats. Life could be very strange sometimes.

Meanwhile back in England, Mei was preparing for her wedding. The Queen of England still had no idea how events had ended up unfolding as they had. Somehow, Rin had managed to kill the Spanish King and Obito had ended up successfully courting her.

"How did you manage it?" Mei asks once the two women were alone.

"Oh men are all the same. You can lead them around by their dicks quite easily. I just presented myself as a rather friendly member your staff. Of course the old codger bought it and invited me back to his room. I brought us drinks. One of them was poisoned. It was a poison that was designed to make it look like he had died of consumption." Rin explains.

Mei laughs. It was a rather simple plan, but effective. She could only hope that the new King of Spain would be less vexing. Either way, she wasn't going to worry about that any longer for today. It was her wedding day. She was getting married.

Today should be a day of happiness and not worry. She smiles as she heads outside her bedchamber. Her bridesmaids were waiting for her.

They soon reach the courtyard where the grandest wedding ever was being held. Mei smiles. The flowers were in full bloom and the dazzling display of colors in the royal gardens. The sky was blue and the birds where chirping. Everyone was dressed in their finest clothing. There were also mountains of delicious delicacies and drinks upon the table. Finally, beautiful classical music was playing in the background.

"I still can't believe that you convinced her to marry you." Kakahsi muses as he watches Mei escorted slowly down the aisle.

"Neither can I. Though to be fair, I own one of the largest shipyards in Europe. That means I'm wealthy enough that the public is willing to overlook my humble origins. You behaved like a barbarian for several years while you were a pirate. No one was going to accept you as King." His friend replies.

Obito smiles as he sees his bride walk down the aisle. Mei's vibrant hair reached all the way to her ankles. Her beautiful green eyes were shimmering with happiness. Not even her beautiful long lacey veil could disguise that. She wore a long silk gown with a train that had to be carried by four of her ladies.

The gown was the color of freshly fallen snow. She had a sweetheart neckline which showed off just enough of her ample bosom to be alluring, but didn't quite cross the line of being scandalous. Her every step was graceful.

"Kakashi, you are an idiot." He whispers.

"Oh I know. I was very fond of her. You know that she has a birthmark on her left hip. If you stroke it just the right away, it drives her crazy. Still I am deliriously happy with Rin. Not even a crown can sway me." He says with a smile.

Obito gives Kakashi a dirty look for that birthmark comment. If they were not in the middle of a royal wedding, he would have slapped him. Still nothing could ruin his good mood on this day. He was getting married to the Queen of England.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of our beloved Queen and Obito. If anyone has any reasons why they should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." The Pope says.

Thankfully, no one objected. It probably helped that everyone knew they would likely be executed, if they caused a scene in front of the Pope. So they wisely stayed silent.

"Wonderful. Do you Obito take Mei to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? In good times and in bad? Do you promise to forsake all others, until death do you part?" The Pope asks.

"I do." Obito says with a smile.

"Do you Queen Mei take Obito to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? In good times and in bad? Do you promise to forsake all others, until death do you part?" He continues.

"I do." Mei replies and positively beams in happiness.

"Then by the power vested in me by God, I pronounce thee man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The elderly man says with a smile.

Obito wasted no time. He quickly kisses his bride. There were some rather scandalized gasps due to the rather passionate nature of their kiss. Mei eagerly returned the kiss.

"Well…I suppose that it will not be long before I am called upon to Christian the next Prince or Princess of England." Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Pope, chuckles.

There were many laughs had at that assessment. Some people clapped. Chants of "Long live the King and Queen," rang out.

"My love, I believe it is time for you to throw your bouquet." Obito says to Mei after breaking the kiss.

"Of course." She says with a smile and tosses the flowers into the crowd.

The competition for that bouquet was fearsome. Obito blinks. He was damn glad that he wasn't an unwed woman. People might actually need to see a physician after that epic battle. Somehow the dust settles though and Rin emerges victorious.

The new King chuckles. He has his Queen sit down and slowly slides her garter belt off. Then Obito throws it at the audience. It was Kakashi that caught it.

"I begin to suspect you may have done that on purpose." The silver haired pirate muses.

"You suspect correctly." Obito says with a smirk as he leads his new wife off for their first dance.

Kakashi mutters something about sneaky bastards. That's when he heard someone bawling their eyes out. The CopyCat Pirate looks around in confusion and blinks when he saw who it was.

Guy. It was Guy. His friend was crying his eyes out. Kakashi looks at him in confusion. Why was he crying at a Royal Wedding? This was a happy occasion.

"Guy?" He asks in concern.

"I'm sorry. It's just the power of youth and love is so beautiful. I always cry at weddings!" Guy admits.

Kakashi shakes his head. He awkwardly pats his friend on the back and heads over to Rin. He smiles and leads her off for a dance.

"You know that if you don't propose to me, your reputation is going to be damaged very severely. I caught the bouquet and you caught the garter belt." She muses.

"Hmm you mean that my reputation can go lower? I'm already a pirate." He chuckles as he twirls her.

Rin smiles and spins underneath him. Well that was a good point. Still she would like to make their relationship official.

"Yes, yes it can. That or you could suffer from a very cold bed. I know that you much prefer a warm one, if given a choice." She says with a sly smile at her handsome lover.

"Well I suppose in that case, it is a very good thing that I was planning on propose to you anyway." Kakashi says as he pulls out a ring.

It was a golden ring with a red ruby shaped like a heart in the center of it. Rin's eyes widen when she sees it and she tackle hugs him. It caused quite the scene.

"Yes!" She calls out happily.

"I believe that Kakashi just proposed to Rin." King Obito says and everyone ohhhs.

The wedding guests look at each other. Someone claps. Then others start clapping. Mei and Obito shake their heads in amusement. Nobles could be such sheep. Oh well for once that was a good thing. The royal couple soon join the crowd in congratulating Kakashi and Rin on their engagement.

Back on the Island of Lust, Itachi was working on a grand plan. His goal was rather simple. Work his lover into a frenzy of lust and see if he would consent to displaying their desire for each other in a very public fashion.

Warning Lemon

"Itachi!" Gaara moans and bucks against his lover's wickedly talented mouth.

If there was one thing that Itachi excelled in outside of battle and sailing, it was definitely sex. In particular, he was very gifted with his mouth. God that felt incredible.

The red head squirms when he felt his lover slide two digits inside him. Itachi was impatient today. That didn't bother him though. So was he.

"I like it when you shout my name like that." Itachi murmurs around the other Captain's cock and sucks harder.

That was good because Gaara figured that he would be shouting it again, very soon. He groans as he felt his orgasm rushing towards him. Who could blame him? He had a gorgeous lover who was sucking him off. He was only human.

Itachi smirks and releases him. The elder Uchiha brother decides that Gaara was suitably prepared now. He was also on the edge of orgasm. This was the time that he was most likely to get compliance out of his sultry red head.

"Why the fuck did you stop?!" The other Captain growls in frustration.

"Because I have a new game for us to play today. We are on the Isle of Lust. What do you think about us claiming each other with some of our comrades watching?" Itachi asks.

Gaara blinks. That sneaky son of a bitch. He had purposely gotten him all worked up and then stopped just before he came, so that Itachi could spring this on him.

"You sneaky bastard." He grumbles.

"Mmm I'm not going to deny that, but I am a sneaky bastard that loves you. What do you say, my love? They already know that we are together. There's no point in hiding how we feel about each other." The older pirate continues.

"I'm likely going to regret this, but I just want to get off. You had better make this worth my while." Gaara warns him.

Itachi smirks. He scoops up his red head and carries him downstairs. Gaara squirms. This was just embarrassing.

His lover soon pushes him against the wall. Gaara warps his legs around Itachi's waist and his arms around his neck. He felt his face heat up when he realized everyone was staring at them.

"You don't need to be bashful. You are stunning. My love, you should not be afraid to show it off." Itachi whispers as he places a trail of kisses along the other man's neck.

Gaara sighs softly in pleasure and closes his eyes. That felt good. There was no doubting that Itachi was very, very seductive. The red head reaches down and begins to stroke his lover.

"You are such a deviant." He muses and moans when Itachi lightly bites on one of his nipples.

"You like it though. So I suppose that makes you just as much of a deviant as I am." Itachi states in a cocky fashion as he buries himself inside his lover.

It never ceased to amaze him. Gaara was always so hot and tight. None of his other lovers had ever been nearly as satisfying.

Gaara moans Itachi enters him and rolls his hips encouragingly. He was far from a blushing virgin anymore. If he had any innocence left when he first became Itachi's lover, it would have been long gone by now. Itachi might like to maintain an air of respectability most of the time, but he might actually be a bigger deviant than Naruto. (And that was certainly saying something!)

"I never claimed otherwise." The red head moans hotly in his ear and writhes against the other man.

Itachi groans in pleasure as he claims his lover with a reckless abandonment. Nothing would ever compare to this.

"Well I'll be damned, the brat is getting laid." Kisame muses and gets himself a glass of ale.

"Not just laid, he's getting thoroughly fucked." Suigetsu muses and owes when Temari smacks him upside the head.

"That be my brother you are talking about and one of your Captains. Show some respect!" Temari growls at him.

"ITACHI!" Gaara moans when the other pirate hits his spot.

"GAARA!" The elder Uchiha brother roars in pleasure and spills his seed deep inside his lover.

That was all that Gaara needed. It felt so fucking good when Itachi took him hard against the wall. The sounds of his moans of pleasure, the feeling of his skin against him, being filled to the brim, and even his scent were just too much. Gaara screams in pleasure as he finally achieves the release that had been so deviously denied to him earlier.

Itachi smiles and pulls out of Gaara. He holds him closely and kisses him. The other Captain eagerly returns the kiss.

End of Lemon

"Dinner with a show." Hinata giggles.

"One Hell of a show." Karin says and nods in agreement at the Hyuga woman.

Deidara grins like a Cheshire Cat and sneaks up behind Sakura. The pink haired pirate raises an eyebrow at the eccentric blonde. God only knows what he was plotting this time.

"Would you like to follow the excellent example set by two of our Captains?" He asks cheekily.

SMACK! Sakura sends him flying straight into the wall with one mighty punch. Everyone blinks.

"Owe! A simple no would have worked. Yeah?!" Deidara demands and rubs his injured cheek.

Tsunade and Jirayia just shake their heads and mutter something about kids. Honestly, it was a good thing that they had found Kurama's treasure, otherwise keeping up with all the repair expenses would have been rather difficult. The kids were often getting into "play fights" and trashing the place.

"What's going on?" Naruto asks as he and Sasuke come down the stairs.

"Definitely wasn't Suigetsu and Hinata that time. Pay up." Jirayia tells Tsunade.

She grumbles. The busty blonde had made a bet earlier that day with Jirayia. She had bet that next time it would be Suigetsu and Hinata who screwed each other's brains out in one of the private rooms.

"I really have to learn to stop making bets. I always lose them." She says with a dramatic sigh.

"Well there are two very good reasons why you are called the Legendary Sucker. That's just one of them." The elderly muses in a cheerful fashion.

Everyone heard that and just gaped at Tsunade. The busty blonde woman growls and smacks Jirayia upside the head for that one. That damn deviant didn't need to go around and start filling the kids' heads with even more filth like that. Their minds were already filthy enough, as evidenced by Itachi ravishing the red head with everyone watching.

"Oh Sasuke's brother just fucked Gaara rather thoroughly. You have to give your brother this much, he's a very enthusiastic lover." Hidan offers casually.

Sasuke blinks. Yeah. He didn't need to hear that. He was happy that Itachi had found love. He just didn't need to see or hear about the physical expression of said love.

"Oh. Wow. Wait to go Itachi and Gaara. Hey, Sasuke what do you think about us doing th-" Sasuke covers Naruto's mouth.

"No. It's never going to happen, Naruto. Read my lips. We are not having sex in front of the crews. Got it?" Sasuke demands.

Naruto pouts. He slowly nods his head though. Damn. That wasn't fair. Itachi did it for Gaara. Well then again, maybe exhibition wasn't really for them. He didn't know if he liked the thought of anyone else seeing Sasuke naked. As much as he would love to show his lover off, that was definitely a factor that needed to be considered.

"Alright. I get it. I guess you're right. I don't really want to share your sexy arse with anyone else, even if they are just looking." Naruto says.

"NARUTO!" Sasuke growls at him.

"What? It is a very nice arse. You also have these amazing eyelashes and it drives me crazy when you do that eyelash thing. Oh and your skin is so fucking pretty." The blonde says.

Sasuke twitches. He couldn't believe that Naruto would say those things with the crew watching. The youngest Uchiha growls and lunges.

Konan shakes her head and watches with amusement. Honestly, she had no idea where they all got the energy to bicker this much. She chuckles and pours herself another glass of ale.

"So how is your experimenting going?" Kiba asks Sasori.

"Oh quite well. I just invented a new kind of poison. I think it will prove very useful on our adventures." The red head says and ignores the fighting going on around them, favor of talking to Kiba.

Jugo blinks. Sasuke could be quite aggressive, when he wanted to be. Ouch. That hit was going to leave a mark. He should probably break this up before it spiraled out of control.

"Sasuke, I think he learned his lesson. Besides, I have big news." Jugo calls out.

The First Mate stops tearing into his lover long enough to look at Jugo. He knew his shield. If Jugo said he had news, he knew that it would be important.

"What is it?" Sasuke asks curiously.

"I think I just figured out what our next treasure hunt will be. There are stories about a long forgotten place called Atlantis. It was ruled by King Indra. It's said that the very streets were made of gold. If we can find it, it will make Kurama's treasure look like a pittance." He states.

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. His friend had to be messing with him. Atlantis didn't actually exist.

"Oh come on, even I don't actually believe in Atlantis." Naruto says.

"I have a map. I won it off of a card game with some really strange fellow. I don't know if it's real or not, but what have we got to lose?" The large orange haired man offers.

"Naruto, a lot of people didn't believe in Kurama's treasure, but we found that." Sasuke reasons.

Itachi nods in agreement. Sasuke had a good point there. Besides, what could be more fun than finding a lost civilization.

"He's right, you know. Unless you and Gaara don't wish to go. Then we won't." The elder Uchiha brother offers.

Naruto just gapes at Itachi. How dare he try to imply that he, Naruto Uzumaki, was scared of anything?! He was one of the fiercest pirates to have ever sailed the Seven Seas. He wasn't scared of nothing'. (Well except for losing Sasuke, but he wouldn't let that happen.)

"I ain't scared. What about you, Gaara?" The blonde asks.

"It seems our diamond and pearl know how to manipulate us, rather splendidly. I say we do it." The red head mutters.

"We're going on another adventure! Yeah?!" Deidara calls out excitedly.

Soon a chorus of cheers rears up. The pirates were all excited about having a new quest to go on. The rest of the night was spent lost in revelry and preparing for their next quest. When the morning came, they set off to find Atlantis.

Gaara and Naruto weren't overly concerned whether or not they found the mythical city though. They had already found their diamond and pearl. Anything else would just be icing on the cake. After all, they had found the greatest treasure of all. Love.
