Yuuki: I'm back again! Heeeelloo! Thanks for the wait…or was it much of a wait? You see, I actually already started this chapter on the same day it was published, even before Chapters 2 and 3, but I really don't know when am I going to post it ~ ~ ~ Argh damn, my father broke his promise of letting me use the computer 24/7; I was just going to use the computer 5 minutes more and it got confiscated.

Inner Yuuki: I bet you guys really want to ignore her don't you? And read the story? *gets appreciative nods* You're welcome, now lets move on to the story.

Yuuki: *T_T*

20 years after Roger's execution-Logue Island

Naruto yawned. It was just another boring day. He had already fought off and nearly killed the latest Marine Captain. What was his name? …Smoke…was it? Good name, as even when they were fighting, he always had a cigar in his mouth. And he also ate a Devil Fruit. He had heard rumours of it here and there, saying that a Logia type of Devil Fruit is easily the most powerful. And the Smoke guy ate a Logia type! That, well, turns him into smoke, as one would have easily guessed. But it just took one Fuuton Jutsu to catch him off guard and blast him away. Powerful, my ass. If you can't cut them, then blow the whole body away.

FLASHBACK

"Who are you? Are you a damn pirate?" Smoker demanded.

Naruto nearly burst out laughing. A pirate? He was one of the founders of the damned World Government, for Kami's sake. But to him now, a pirate seemed much more appealing.

"So what if I am?" He asked amusedly.

"Then I'm gonna lug your ass back to HQ! There have been rumours around town that you fought and killed off almost twenty marines!" Smoker snarled. "I'm going to defeat you in the name of Absolute Justice!"

"Absolute…Justice…?" Naruto spoke in a low tone, trying to contain his fury. He cracked his knuckles. "Let Daddy teach you a thing or two. What you're serving under, is definitely NOT justice! I didn't create the Government for this! But actually, they did turn against us, so…" his speech turned into a mutter at the last part.

"Create the Government?" Smoker scoffed. "Don't even try lying!" and he charged.

Naruto made hand signs at an inhumane speed. "Fuuton: Daitoppa!(Wind Element: Great Breakthrough!)"

Naruto brought his hand up to form a circle around his mouth and blew. However, it wasn't a weak breeze that charged at Smoker, it was, in fact, a huge, powerful blast of wind that blasted Smoker into oblivion, at the same time destroying quite a few houses. After Smoker practically flew away, he looked at the damage he had caused before looking at the civilians' stunned faces.

"Ah…gomen!" He grinned sheepishly before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Man, is there nothing to do here? Why can't people take a joke? Hell, even when I just say 'hi' to a civilian walking past me he would look strangely at me before walking away. Damn it!" Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto grumbled. "AND THERE'S NO RAMEN! HOW CAN NOBODY SELL THE FOOD BESTOWED UPON BY THE GODS!" He yelled in frustration and despair at not being able to find even a single ramen shop. The people near him stared at him before scooting away , trying to avoid him at all costs.

"AND WHY ARE ALL OF YOU AVOIDING ME!" Naruto roared.

The civilians then ran away from him.

"Tch, nobody here is like the people of Konoha."

Walking to the execution platform, as he did everyday, he looked up at it…the place where his friend, Roger got killed. That man was a brave one. He'd seen his death, and knew it, and yet, he had a smile on his face. Naruto scowled. 'Not like some weak Marines that would piss in their pants when I defeated their commander, and they were so confident before.' Naruto rolled his eyes. 'Anyway, they are going to be wiped out, soon. And as the people Roger told me to protect are all pirates, including the fact that I am almost certain that his future family - if he has one - would be pirates, too, I'm actually helping them by killing off worthless Marines.'

Why did the World Government I had created turn out like this? Did I make a mistake by creating it? Or was it because I out the wrong people in charge?

Well, actually, he was bored because Robin left for sea, just as he thought. But what he did NOT think of that she would leave so early! She left at the age of sixteen! SIXTEEN! Man, he didn't see her for more than ten years already…Or was it almost ten years? Argh! He didn't care, only that he missed his daughter very much.

Sighing, he remembered his conversation with Hinata a few years back.

"N..Naruto-kun, there's something y..you need to k..know." Hinata stammered like she always does when around Naruto, even when they are officially lovers already.

"What happened, Hinata-chan?" Naruto questioned.

"W..Well, Temari t..thought y..you should k..know this. There're t..two boys with the m..middle initial 'D' j..just like Roger; a..and it has b..been confirmed that one b..boy, Portgas. D. Ace, i..is R..Roger's son. And the o..other is his c..cousin,Monkey D. Luffy, so…"

Naruto grinned. "And they wanted to become pirates, am I right?"

Hinata nodded. "But, it's not confirmed if they WILL be. A..Although, L.."

Naruto got serious. "Ah, but if they ever want to be, they'll have to pass by here to stop for supplies."

Hinata nodded. "Yes, and Luffy made a promise to my 'captain', Shanks that he would be the Pirate King."

Naruto grinned once more. "If he's anything like his uncle, he would come. So who's the more troublesome one?"

Hinata replied immediately. "Luffy-kun is."

He sweatdropped. "I got an answer that fast?"

END FLASHBACK

"Luffy, huh?" Naruto said, smiling up at the cobalt blue sky.

A figure zoomed past him, his arms stretched unbelievably long, with a straw hat on his hat.

"Eh?" Naruto blinked. "Isn't that Roger's hat?"

Then he remembered.

"Luffy has raven-black hair and eyes, and he always wears Roger's hat whom Roger gave to Shanks, and Shanks, in turn gave it to him. Oh, and he also accidentally ate a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit. He's a Rubber Man. Also, he has your necklace and kunai which he wears around his neck. Both of them; the crystal and the kunai."

"Ah." Naruto realised.

"WAIT! MONKEY D. LUFFY!"

Luffy didn't stop.

Naruto frowned.

"Shunshin."

Yuuki: LOL another cliffy. Sorry…
