With Whitebeard

"Damn that Teach…" The second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas. D. Ace seethed.

"You don't have to get so angry," Stated Sabaku no Gaara calmly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE COMMITED AN ACT OF TREASON THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE ON A PIRATE SHIP! HE KILLED ONE OF THE WHITEBEARD PIRATES! HIS NAKAMA!" Ace shouted.

"Then kill him. You involving your emotions in this matter is just going to make the situation worse." Gaara pointed out.

"Zzz…" Ace snored.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head. "Ace, you know that you shouldn't be sleeping when Gaara is talking to you."

"…Zzz…Huh?" Ace woke up from his sudden slumber.

"Gaara was talking to you when you fell asleep." Itachi repeated.

Ace paled. He slowly looked over at the redhead before becoming whiter. Gaara had his eyes shadowed from view.

"Ah, gotta go. Ciao!" Ace waved at Itachi over his shoulder before running to the captain, or as the crew adoringly called him, his 'father'.

Gaara just fixed his ice blue eyes on Ace's retreating figure. Sand came out of his gourd and wrapped itself around Ace's torso.

"ARGH! NO!" Ace yelled in horror. He turned to his fellow crewmembers. "Help me!"

The crew all turned their back on him, pretending not to hear his pleas for help.

'CRASH'

'BANG'

'CRUSH'

'CRACK'

The crew all winced at the last sound; one of Ace's ribs was broken.

"ITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! THAT HURT!"

"Gaara, you should stop that. We were told to protect this boy, not to kill him." Itachi said softly so as to not let anybody hear, as well as trying to stop him from continuing.

"Don't worry, I'm not as bloodthirsty as before." Gaara replied.

"I think…that…you're…bloodthirsty…enough…as…it is…" Ace groaned in pain.

"Want another round?" Gaara threatened, but with no emotion whatsoever.

"Iye. Please forgive me." Ace bowed his head, so as to not aggravate his injury.

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Whitebeard laughed at the scene before his eyes. He then turned serious. "Ace, can I trust you to look for Blackbeard? You know the consequences of breaking the rule."

"Hai. I accept." Ace agreed.

"If I may interrupt…" Itachi cut in.

Whitebeard urged him to go ahead.

"May I go with the commander on his mission?" Itachi requested.

Whitebeard frowned. "Are you sure? You don't have to trouble yourself…"

"It will be fine." Itachi interrupted.

Whitebeard smiled. "Then I trust you two to bring Teach's head back to me, then."

"Hn."

"Wait!" Ace protested. "Why must I go with him? He's weak and would be a burden to me when fighting Blackbeard!"

"A person not showing what he can do does not mean that he or she is weak, Ace." Whitebeard lectured. "Or do you fancy going with Gaara instead?" He grinned.

"NO! Itachi will be fine."

"It's settled, then." Whitebeard confirmed.

"Let's go!" Ace set off, only for it to be followed by a scream of pain.

"STAY HERE AND GET YOUR RIB FIXED FIRST!"

With Shanks

"Do you miss him? Luffy, I mean" Hyuuga Hinata asked her captain.

"Nah, he'll be a fine pirate someday. Then we'll meet again." Shanks grinned.

Hinata smiled. "I see. However, I think he has a fine bounty as it is already."

"GAHAHAHAHA! It's still not enough! It will increase, definitely!" Shanks laughed.

Sabaku no Temari gave a snort. "Oh, it will, definitely."

She whispered to Hinata. "Especially with your boyfriend in his crew."

Hinata blushed. "T…Temari!"

Temari laughed.

Back to Loguetown

"Man, that guy's really an attention-attracting one. I can see why Hinata-chan was so fast in saying who is more troublesome." Naruto sighed as Luffy used his Devil Fruit powers to get up the platform.

"Oi! Get down from there! That place is restricted!"

"Eeeeehhhhhhh? Naaaaaandeeeeeeee? Why must I get down from here?" Luffy whined.

"And he's exactly like the old me." Naruto sweatdropped.

"So this is the view that the Pirate King had before he died!" Luffy grinned in delight.

Suddenly, he was knocked down with his head and hands trapped.

"So, enjoying the view, Monkey D. Luffy?" Cabaji said.

He was then replaced by his captain, Buggy the Clown.

"Enjoy it! There's an execution that is going to be carried out!" Buggy laughed.

"Heh? Whose execution?"

Buggy punched his head! "Yours, you imbecile! Now, beg for your life!" He grinned maniacally.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Luffy said bluntly.

"Like I will!" Buggy retorted, before raising his…knife.

Suddenly, a kunai flew at Buggy, separation him into two.

"Wha-?" He spotted Naruto, his eyes shadowed from view.

"Heh! I ate the Bara Bara no Mi, there's no use cutting me!" Buggy scoffed.

"Again?" Naruto said tiredly. He made handsigns.

"Fuuton:Daitoppa!"

History has repeated itself.

"Woah! You're strong! Join my crew!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes popping from his head. "Besides, you saved my life." He added.

Naruto gave a triumphant grin. "That was what I was aiming for."

Suddenly, Marines began surrounding them.

"I've got you, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto!" a voice bellowed.

"Smoke?" Naruto said boredly. "I should have killed you when I had the chance."

"GOMU GOMU NO…ROCKET!" Luffy shot himself into the circle of Marines.

"So your name's Naruto! Nice to meetcha!" Luffy held out a hand for Naruto to shake.

"Nice to meet you too." Naruto replied, shaking his new captain's hand.

"This is troublesome." Naruto sighed. "And Shikamaru's rubbing off on me."

"Magen: Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu! (Demonic Illusion: Hell Fire Technique)"

"What is he doing?"

"Nothing's happening!"

"Is he an idiot?"

"Hey, look up!"

The Marines looked up. If one was in the unfortunate group of Marines, they would have seen a huge ball of fire descend from the sky upon them. Once their minds had realised that they were in danger, the Marines ran away from the duo they were supposed to capture.

"I'm gonna get burnt to a crisp"

"Help me!"

Correction: They ran screaming for their lives.

"Huh? What's happening? Nothing's there. Why are they running?" Luffy was confused.

"Never mind that." Naruto batted away his questions. "We've gotta get to your ship before more Marines come."

"Okay!" Luffy started running when Naruto grabbed his hand, causing his arm to stretched till he snapped back.

"What?"

"Where's your ship?"

"At the shore!"

Naruto's eye twitched. "I know that. Where at the shore?"

Luffy answered happily. "I don't know."

Naruto facefaulted. "Never mind that, we'll search for it when we get there." Still grabbing Luffy's hand, he disappeared in a blue flash. "Shunshin."
