Thank you everyone for all of the reviews! Just a heads up to those waiting for my other story the Newest Supernova its gonna be a while because I'm having a bit of a writers block and the Marineford battle isn't going as nearly as good as I'd hoped, so I do sincerely apologies for that.
As for updates their going to come a bit slower because I'm gonna try a new process of doing things, to try and make the story better for everyone. Also THIS STORY WILL BE NARUTOxHANCOCK that's it. If you want any other pairings feel free to ask and I will do my best to deliver if possible. Anyway LETS GET IT ONNNNN!
It had been a couple days since the attack on Sabaody and it was pretty much easy sailing. The ship was coated with Sea-Stone at the bottom no one had to worry about the sea kings in the calm belt. Not that they really needed to worry anyway with so many high level fighters even sea kings could sense the danger of attacking that ship.
The day was normal a bit dark and cloudy but no rain. Naruto had decided to let his new nakama to settle in before he had a little meeting with them. Deciding now was a pretty good time to get to know each other he had called everyone to the back of the ship.
"So seeing's as were all going to be crew mates from here on out I think it's best we get to know each other by sharing our names, where we're from, likes, dislikes, fighting and other skills, being the Captain I'll go first I guess." Naruto said with a shrug and looked around seeing everyone was paying attention.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I come from Sabaody Archipelago, I've been a pariah most of my life until I met up with Rayleigh and he taught me how to fight and use my Haki. I love ramen even though thus far I don't know anyone who knows how to make it except for one person." Naruto said with dark cloud over his head while his crew just sweat dropped at his antics. "I also like to spend time with my friends and loved ones and strong opponent's to fight."
"My dislikes are people who stab their comrades in the back." He said looking to all his crewmembers. "So just know if you want your more than welcome to leave the crew but if you betray us or sell out or anything to that nature. You will have signed your own death warrant." Everyone began to sweat from the killing intent he pushed out for a moment. "Other than that I guess it would have to be the World government a-and ummm" Naruto then muttered something to the point were the others couldn't hear him. "I'm sorry Captain what was that? We couldn't hear you." Came Shina's voice right next to Naruto. "I-I-I said that I-I hate G-G-Ghosts!" Naruto said looking over both of his shoulders. Shina just shook her head with a smirk while, Christie was having a giggling fit seeing the man who ruthlessly cut down a World Noble scared to death just by the mere mention of a ghost.
"Anyway that's important lets get back on track. I have a bunch of skills including using all forms of Haki." "Wait you can use Conqueror's Haki?!" Came the amazed voice of Reiji. Naruto simply nodded and released a bit of his Conqueror's Haki shocking his crewmates. "I have a special energy that allows me to walk on water, walls and ceilings. My devil fruit is a mythical Zoan type Model: Fenrir the Unbound, you'll see it later on cause I don't feel freaking everyone on the ship out by turning into a giant flaming wolf. But by far my most powerful skill would have to be the art of writing seals. And before you ask it has to many uses to list down so just trust me when I say it'll come in handy a lot. Any skills beyond that? I guess I have strong talent for turning enemies into my greatest allies so don't be surprised if that happens from time to time." Naruto said thinking of Gaara specifically.
Naruto then looked over to his right to see Shina who now had on a blue jacket that cut off at her stomach. Also she now had on blue and yellow outlined forearm guards that turned into a fingerless glove.
"Well My name is Shina Gado. I'm from an island in the south blue called Flat Land Island which is one of Whitebeards territories , There I was given my devil fruit by my father who had eaten, the Lions form of my devil fruit. My skills include Haki although I was only taught Armament. I have full control over my devil fruit powers and I'm a hunter, so I am naturally good at tracking.
My likes are hunting, relaxing, meat and the Whitebeard pirates. My dislikes are also the World Government, poachers and obviously World Nobles." Shina said quickly and leaned back in her chair looking her right. "Well I guess its my turn to share huh?" Said Reiji.
He leaned back and put both hands behind his head while kicking his feet up onto the table. "Well the names Reiji Takigawa ,but you can just call me Rei. I'm from grand line itself. I'm a orphan from Mock Town which is pretty much a safe haven for pirates. My skills are fighting since that's what excites me most. Also I ate the Zoan Crow Crow fruit, of which I have almost perfect control over. Oh annndd umm" He muttered something looking away from the others. "What was that?" Shina asked. "I-I said another skill was I-I'm a nurse." He said looking away as Shina began laughing and called him a sissy along with Naruto who was laughing and the others just laughing a bit more low key.
"S-SHUT UP YOU PUSSY-CAT!" Reiji yelled at Shina who got a vein. "WHO YOU CALLING A PUSSY-CAT? BIRD BRAINS!" They were both about to get up and duke it out until Naruto quickly defused the situation while laughing. "C-calm down you two ok, just take it easy. Reiji finish your introduction."
Reiji just nodded while shooting Shina a dirty look. "Anyway my likes are fighting strong opponents, money and beautiful women. My dislikes are weaklings who try and start fights with me, other than that I'm golden." He said with a gin He looked to his right seeing Eddie and Christie, Christie who was sitting on Eddie's lap. "I guess I'll go first." Came Christie's voice. "I'm Christie Monteiro, I'm from an Island in the calm belt called Last Leg island. I love calm sea's and partying along with my boyfriend here." She said giving Eddie a kiss on the forehead. "I hate the World Government for what they did to me and my family. My skills are fighting in my grandfathers style of capoeira which is solely based on kicking with light use of the hands. Other than that I guess I'm a good cook." She then looked down towards Eddie.
My name is Eddie Gordo and I come from the same island as Christie. My skills are similar to Christie's except I'm extremely experienced in Rokushiki. I like helping out those who need it most and my friends. I dislike fighting when its not necessaryand I hate World Government." Eddie sighed out before continuing. "With that being said I am a former member of CP1" Shina, Reiji and Mitsurugi's eyes all widened a bit at this new found confession.
Naruto simply looked around. "Umm can some one fill me in on what that is." Naruto said completely clueless. Shina was the one to speak up. "CP is short for Cipher Pol. Its a secret branch of the World Government that are pretty much used for all types of covert work, but that doesn't mean they aren't strong. I've heard stories of Cipher Pol 0 being strong enough to fight on equal terms with an Admiral." Shina finished
Eddie just nodded. "You would be correct in that aspect. The three members of that squad are kept especially secret, no one except the Admirals and above know who they are. The whole reason we were captured in the first place was because I attacked and killed the head of the CP1 because he told me he if I helped him get ahold of a certain devil fruit he would give me the money I need to cure my master, Christie's Grandfather. Needless to say he lied and I killed him as soon as I found out." Eddie finished then looking to the last person in the circle.
"Well my name is Mitsurugi call me whatever you'd like for short since we're all going to be comrades from now on. I come from Wano Country in the New World. I set out on this journey to find the Legendary Sword Soul Caliber. Its power is said to be only rivaled by its opposite the soul edge of which is was lost in the oceans years ago before my time. My likes are drinking, eating, strong opponents and having a good time. My dislikes are scum with no honor like that of the World Nobles and other retches of the sea's. My skill is my swordsmanship along with being able to use Observation and Armament Haki. Although I do find myself in need of two Katana's." Mitsurugi said finishing his introduction then looking to Naruto.
"Alright you guys when we reach the East Blue we'll be training for about a year. After that we're going to go looking for one of the Yonko, which one I haven't quite decided yet. But either way you all need to be at the top of your games for this got it?" After getting a nod from his crew Naruto nodded back and began to walk off until he was stopped by the voice of Mitsurugi. "Excuse me Captain but what are we going to do for a ship? I assume once The Red Haired Pirates are done training you, we'll set off by ourselves correct?"
Naruto turned and got a fox like grin. "You are correct my friend and as for a ship. . . well I think we'll just barrow one from the navy." Reiji and Shina just laughed and then glared at each other for laughing at the same time. While The other three just nodded.
Naruto walked towards Shanks who was at the helm right now. "So what do you think of your new crew members hm?" Shanks said not even looking at Naruto. "Their all in good fighting condition and seem strong enough. It also helps that they all hold a strong dislike for the World Government." Naruto said while Shanks just nodded along. "When do you plan to tell them your ultimate goal hm?"
Naruto just took in a deep breath. "Probably once I've become a Yonko by then I'll be able to trust them all completely with my true history and we can start going to work on the World Government. My only concern is picking up more crewmembers. Your the only Yonko Without a large following, I'm not sure if that would put me at and advantage or disadvantage." Naruto said while thinking to himself.
"Just because I don't carry an armada around with me doesn't mean I don't have a large following kid. I've got plenty of people ready to fight at my call. Their all just stationed places so not to cause to much attention. I'd suggest you do the same it'll make people think you only have small following like you just did to me and it will allow you to gather more information much easier." Shanks finished his lecture looking at Naruto who was now deep in thought.
'Jiraiya did teach me some things on his spy network. with the technology in this world getting information back and forth would probably be much easier. Hmm I should probably get a man on the inside of the Navy to help me with my information. That will have to come much later, right now Hancock will have to do although I'm sure they wont share any important information with the Seven Warlords even if they're working for the Government.
I'll have to start here in the East Blue and slowly move my way to the Grand Line. This going to be a annoyingly long process.' Naruto was brought out of his thinking by a slap to the back of the head. "OW! What the hell Shanks!" Naruto said looking towards his brother. "you zoned out and I was trying to tell you that once we make it out of the calm belt we'll be going towards a place called Cocoyasi village to restock. That'll be a good place for you to start up your spy network since it's smack dab in the middle of the East Blue from their, we're going to make our way to one of my islands to start your training. Oh and we're gonna be making frequent journeys to certain island for partying, just a heads up."
Naruto began chuckling while walking away from his goofy brother, if there was one thing he knew about Shanks in his short time of knowing him, it was that he loved to party. "Whatever Shanks I'm going to take a nap."
(A week later near Cocoyasi Village)
"Alright Naruto we're close to the island. Me and my crew are just going to be restocking ok, so its just your job to get a informant in this village before we leave tomorrow." Shanks said as Naruto nodded, then walked towards his crew members. "Hey we're going into the village whoever want to come, can come. " He then turned around and began walking way.
The to his surprise each one of them decided to come along with him. Once they weighed anchor Naruto and his crew were the first off the ship. Everyone else had jobs to do before going into the town. "Yo Shanks I'll see you when I get back!"
Naruto waved as he and his crew got off the boat. Naruto began walking through down a long dirt road towards where he assumed the main town was. "So anyone ever been to the East Blue before?" Naruto looked to see everyone shaking their heads no except Eddie. "Yea. I was here a couple of times during my time with the World Government" Came the voice of Eddie. "During my time with CP1 the World Government would always keep an eye out on this ocean specifically incase anyone like Roger ever started to surface up, they wanted to stop it before it could start."
Shina then decided to speak up. "I understand why they would do that. Roger was by far the greatest threat to them that they've ever faced. He was able to beat Whitebeard, who probably has the strongest Devil fruit on the planet. Yet he himself didn't eat any devil fruit power whatsoever. Kind of a scary thought that some one could be that powerful."
"Awww its ok pussy-cat we wont let any big bad pirates hurt you~" Reiji said in a teasing voice leaning over into Shina's ear only to receive a hard elbow to the gut making him hunch over in pain. "Ugghhhhh" Shina just smirked as she kept walking while muttering "Who's the pussy now".
After a little more walking Shina stopped dead in her tracks. "Captain I hear lots of shouting coming from the village, and its all in a single place." Naruto stopped for a second thinking. "Ok everyone do your best to hide your presence, and watch from afar. Don't make a move until I give a signal." He said as he dashed away along with Mitsurugi following him, Eddie and Christie went to the right, Shina went to the left and Reiji turned into a normal size crow and flew towards the commotion.
Once everyone was in a set position they began to watch as a crew a fishmen were picking what looked like family. in the middle was a woman who looked like she had just gotten a bad beating and her left arm was totally broken. "HAHAHAHA all you humans are the same. WEAK!" The large fish man said. "Arlong you swear that you'll leave my girls alone." The fishman Arlong nodded. "That's right as long as you die!" as he was about to kick the lady in the middle until a man in all brown uniform pulled out two pistols and began firing at Arlong.
The bullets however were blocked by a different fishman who had a dark grey gi on and shark like fins on his arms. The fishman followed up by slashing the man across the chest with a sword enough to injure but not kill him.
Right after that all of the villagers began coming down the road towards the fishman charging at them. Naruto signaled for Eddie and Christie to stop them. Just as the two forces were about to meet a blue slash like beam cut between them stopping both the villagers and the fishmen in their tracks. Once the dust had fallen Christie and Eddie were standing with their backs to each other, Christie facing the villagers and Eddie facing the fishmen.
Arlong then looked at the two with some minor irritation. "Just who the hell are you two." Naruto then stepped out from behind the building walking directly behind Bellemere. "It they are my crewmembers." Naruto said getting everyone's attention. Most of all Bellemere who didn't even hear this guy until he said something. Arlong looked towards him getting even more angry. "And just who the hell are you?"
"Me?" Naruto said while gesturing to himself. "The names Naruto Uzumaki but that doesn't matter right now." Naruto said as he began channeling killing intent towards Arlong and his crew, making them feel a bit uneasy. "What matters is that I'm giving you one just chance." Naruto then put up a single finger. "Just one to leave this island and never return or me and my crew will kill every last one of you." Naruto turned up the killing intent making some of the fishmen shake. One fishmen with six arms even began to take a couple steps back.
"SHAHAHAAHAHA your really funny kid its to bad you've got to die for threatening my crew. Chew kill this kid." Arlong said as a large light blue fishman began walking towards Naruto. Before he could make it halfway towards Naruto, he was tackled by a large cheetah that had sent him sprawling a couple feet to the side and had quickly bitten down into his jugular. As he began gurgling for hair the other large shark like fishman with the sword began charging with his sword in hand.
Right as he was about to reach Shina, he was punched by black fist that sunk all the way into his gut and sent him into the crowd of fishmen knocking a bunch down. Naruto just smiled as Shina began walking away from the now dead Chew and walked in front of Bellemere and the two young girls in a protective manner. "Great timing Shina, Mitsurugi. Now where's Rei?" Naruto asked looking up into the sky. "Right here boss man!" Came Rei's voice as he was on top of Bellemere's house in a crouched position with a pistol in his left hand. When Naruto looked up towards him, Rei gave him a mock salute.
"Well good to see your relaxing up there." Naruto said jokingly. "THATS IT YOUR ALL DEAD! I'M GONNA KILL ALL YOU VERMIN!" Arlong yelled and charged at Naruto who just smirked. As Arlong made a dash for Naruto, Naruto jumped over the girls and dashed at Arlong he then unsealed his blade and with a single motion moved his head out of the way of the punch that Arlong sent at him did a spinning kick straight into Arlong's gut that sent him flying backward. Naruto just smiled as Arlong quickly got up and to his surprise pulled out his teeth twice. "Lets how you like this VERMIN!" Arlong shouted as he dashed towards Naruto again.
Naruto's face lost its smile as he got a bit annoyed at this guy calling him a vermin. Naruto quickly swerved out of the way of one of Arlong's hand jaws and swung his sword across Arlong's body with one quick motion. Time seemed to slow down as Arlong took a couple more steps until the top half of his body slid off his bottom and he dropped down dead.
"Anyone else care to test their luck?" Naruto muttered in a deadly tone as a couple fishmen booked it. The others were too angry that two of the crew mates including their captain had just been killed. As they charged they we're quickly dealt with by the rest of the crew.
After everything was said and done if any fishmen were around they were on the ground dead. Everyone just stared in awe at these six people who had effortlessly dealt with the worst problem the village had ever faced. "Well, well, well what do we have here? It looks like I'll be getting a new promotion~" Came the very annoying voice of a rat like man.
"You bastard you've been letting these pirates do whatever they want and now you show up!" Shouted Bellemere. Naruto just shook his head in disappointment. "A crooked Marine. just another reason I hate the world Government. Rei, Eddie, Mitsurugi get rid of all of them." Nezumi was about to scream but was cut off by a bullet through his skull from Rei. The three then quickly dispatched the Marines. "Hey why don't you two go play with the pretty kitty while my friend helps out your mommy ok?" Naruto said in a gentle child like voice. The two girls were a bit nervous as first but eventually started to play with Shina when she bopped them with her tail.
Naruto then ordered the others to help out in what way they could. He and Rei went inside to help Bellemere, well Rei did Naruto just wanted to talk to her.
"Well that was annoying how long have those guys been here ummm . . . ." Naruto dragged it out as if asking for here name. "Oh I'm Bellemere! And they've been here for about two months although they just recently started causing problems." She said while looking down.
"Well no need to worry though I would like it if you could do me a couple favors in return." Naruto said while looking at her. Bellemere stiffened at what he said. "Like what?" She said suspiciously. Naruto just laughed and put his hands up in defense. "N-nothing bad, I promise and its all optional. You don't have to do anything you want." Bellemere relaxed greatly at hearing this. "Ok then I'll bite what do you need?" She said as Rei began wrapping up her wounds.
"Well number one I would like to know where the Marines base and those fishman's pirate base is." Naruto said while sitting back in a kitchen chair. "Well Arlong Park is just three and a half miles east from here and the Marines base is on the other side of the island." Naruto nodded. "Alright second thing is that I don't have some one who specializes with guns on my crew I was wondering if you wouldn't mind joining?" Naruto said with smile. "Wait a second you do realize that I have two daughters to take care of right?" Naruto nodded. "Yup and since I'm pretty much the King of Amazon Lily so they will be extra safe on that island." Naruto said as both Rei and Bellemere's eyes widened at that. "Umm I'm sorry but this is my home town, I've got my oranges to tend to, and I love it here. So I'm sorry but I cant leave." Bellemere said with a gentle smile.
Naruto sighed a bit in disappointment, but smiled at her honesty. "Don't worry about it I wouldn't want to make you do anything you don't want to anyway. But there is one last thing I'd like for you to do for me. Once I go take one of the Navy ships at the marine base on the other side of the island, I'm going to give you the number for the Den Den Mushi. What I want you to do is call me if you or the people here are ever in danger ok?" Naruto asked. Bellemere just nodded a bit confused. "Also I want you to call me on any important news you might find out. Anything like important Navy plans or any up and coming pirates you might think are important enough to tell me about."
Bellemere simply laughed and gave Naruto a knowing yet almost flirtatious look. "So you want me to be an informant for you is that it?" She asked with one eyebrow raised. It was at this time Rei was finished bandaging her up and put her left arm in a sling. Naruto then told him to go help the villagers outside and leave him and Bellemere alone.
"Well yea I guess if that's what you want to call it." Naruto said standing up and leaning against the wall. "Sure. I can do that for you after all that's not hard to do. Althought . . . "She let it hang in the air as she slowly got up and sauntered her way towards Naruto. "Is that all you want? Because I could. . . pay you with. . . . .my body" She said in a seductive whisper right into Naruto's ear to the point he could feel her breath.
Naruto though slid away from her. *Cough cough* "S-sorry but I'm taken. While extremely tempting no thanks." Bellemere then put on adorable pout. "Awww maybe next time." She giggled as she saw Naruto dart out the door. 'Hmmm whoever got him is one lucky girl.
(Somewhere in Amazon Lily)
"ACHOO" Boa Hancock sneezed. "Bless you sister! Are you catching a cold?" Sanderson said. "Thank you and no Naruto must be thinking about how beautiful I am!" Hancock replied getting a sweat drop from her sister.
( Arlong Park with Naruto and the crew)
"Alright look for any that could be of use to us on future voyage's." The six then split up looking through the giant building. After searching through the building the crew had come out with multiple log posts and a couple at least 400,000,000 beri they gave the most of the cash they found to the village since it was theirs in the first place. Rei came had on a sleeveless black vest on and strap that held multiple pistols. "You know these guys had a lot of guns surprisingly." The list of things continued on like, swords, blankets, jewelry.
Naruto just nodded to himself and sealed all of the contents up in a scroll. "So that's something that sealing can be used for?" Came Shina's voice as she stood next to Naruto who nodded. "That is quite a handy skill to have." Said Mitsurugi who was now sporting two Katana's on his side. One was green and black while the other was all black, but the craziest sword he had he was holding over his shoulder. It was a giant saw like sword with six shark like teeth on one side. "Holy shit Mitsurugi I see you've found yourself a new toy!" Naruto joked. Mitsurugi only laughed along. "Yes I found this sword to be quite impressive not just because its sheer size but it must have take a master craftsmen to create this sword. Its truly is one of a kind." Mitsurugi said while taking a couple practice swings with it. "Alright lets get out of here. I don't want to miss the party they're going to throw.
(That night at the town party)
Naruto was sitting in a chair laughing his ass off with his crew and some of the villagers who were telling some funny stories, until he heard a small voice come from below him. "Umm excuse me mister." He looked down to see Bellemere's two little girls. "Hello there, how can I help you two?" Naruto said with a smile.
"W-we just wanted to thank you for helping out our mom." Nami said with a blush on her face. Naruto made a oh face. "Oh well your welcome and what would your names be?" The two little girls just smiled. "I'm Nami." Said the orange haired girl. "And I'm Nojiko" Naruto nodded towards both of them. "Well it was a pleasure meeting you two. If you ever set sail onto the grand line and need some help get my number from your mom and call me up ok?" Both girls nodded then scurried away back to their home.
The next day after going back to Marine base and picking up a ship Naruto and the crew sailed back around to meet up with Shanks's ship. "Oii Naruto we almost sunk your new ship because you didn't warn us!" Shanks joked. "Yea right like you could sink a ship Mr. Handy capped!" Naruto teased back. "Hey wait a second and we can set sail." Naruto then flashed into Bellemere's house and left her a note and six of his Hiraishin kunai's. The note had the Den Den Mushi transponder number and an explanation on the Kunai's.
After flashing back they set sail towards the island they would be training in. A little while later Naruto got a call on his den den Mushi. "Hmm Hello?" "Is this Naruto?" Bellemere asked jokingly, obviously knowing it was him. "Why yes it is~" Naruto sang into the transponder snail joking back with her.
"I just wanted to thank you for opening your arms out to help Nami and Nojiko you have no idea how much I appreciate that." Bellemere said sincerely. "No problem at all I meant what I said and if they ever to set sail to the grand line I want you to call me so I can lend them a helping hand if they ever need it. Also make sure they take at least one of the Kunai with them and I'll be able to get to them in flash." Bellemere's eyes somewhat widened. "So you really can transport anywhere you want as long as these things are in the area?" Bellemere asked in amazement. "Ehhh something to that nature anyway I'll catch you around Bellemere stay safe." Naruto said as he hung up.
After following Shanks ship for some time they came upon the island Naruto assumed he would be training on for a year. It was a small remote island that had tropical feel to it. It wasn't extremely large or small it was about average. Naruto looked over to Shanks and shouted. "So this is where I'm gonna be training for the next year with you?!" Shanks only nodded and smiled. "Alrighty then lets get to it!" Naruto shouted again.
ALRIGHT we made it! Tell me what you think and any suggestion for the future of the story, like if you would like to see anything specific.
OH for some reason I'm already thinking hard about another story. I wont start writing it until I finish up one of the fics I'm working on now, but I was wondering between these two which would you like to see.
Shiki's Son: Naruto is Shiki the golden Lion's son and gets his reborn float float fruit. The way that story could go is The straw hat crew becomes a much bigger player much quicker and Naruto joins them or Naruto could do something totally different. I'm up for ideas if you want to throw any at me.
The Newest Admiral: Pretty obvious. Naruto becomes strong enough to get promoted to Admiral thus becoming the fourth Admiral. With this one I'm pretty sure what devil fruit I'll use and its one I created so its gonna be kick ass. Also I plan to have NarutoxBellemere since its never been done before.
I myself am leaning towards the newest Admiral just because there aren't a lot of Navy Naruto fics around and I think it would be pretty exciting to see.
