Naruto & One Piece: A Grand Adventure in Sea
Disclaimer: I don't really own Naruto or One Piece. They are owned by respective owners.
AN: I am still looking for betas. I think Ace knew very much about Luffy's parentage than Luffy himself. Since we see that in Impel down that he knew that Luffy is Dragon's child.
Chapter 4: Unexpected Long Stay on Dawn Island
-Start-
After the spar or more accurately beating, Ace was brought inside. He was placed on a mat, and Tsunade and Hinata started healing him. It took around one hour to heal internal damages; after all he got shit beaten out of him, and another half hour to deal with external damages. After that Hinata announced, "He will be alright now. He needs sleep only. I think he will wake up tomorrow morning. Quick healing caused a strain on his body since it is his first time being healed using chakra." Tsunade to said, "If he has guts and strength, brat may wake up early." Luffy was just staring at the healers and Ace's body, repeatedly, finally announced, "Suge, you people are strong. Did you too eat a devil fruit?" "No, none of us ate one." Hinata explained. "How can he control plants and you can heal so fast?" Dadan asked shocked. "By training" Tobirama answered his expression stopping any further questions on the topic. After he was a ninja and ninja don't give information for free, sometime not even for a price. "Any way what is a devil fruit?" Tobirama asked. This time Luffy answered, "It's a mysterious fruit found in Grandline which can give a human mysterious powers. But it costs eater the ability to swim in sea because for some mysterious reason sea weakens them." "So since you are strong, will you train me?" Luffy asked. Every one of the dragons looked at each other, and after a moment Naruto replied, "Sure, come tomorrow morning and bring your brother too." After that they left the house and everyone went their own way; Hashirama taking Mito to a posh restaurant in Goa to calm her; Naruto and Hinata to Foosha village, because they liked people there; rest of them just went just sightseeing are whatever their mood was to do.
They were gathered around dinner table again in the evening. Tobirama ever the ninja asked, "So what did you find out from the boy?" "He was a well of knowledge. Apparently his father was Gol D. Roger, Pirate King; he detests his father and is seeking for his purpose of life, and there is a revolution going on in the world against the existing government. Head of revolution is no one else but Luffy's father Monkey D. Dragon. I also found more about Tenryuubito; it is true that they are as bad as bandits said if we take the one who came to Goa as example, they killed a ten year child in cold blood and nobody did anything. Not even government." Naruto replied. Tobirama concluded, "From your description, ego and behavior of so called nobles in Goa and presence of revolution, it is looking like that this world government is far from perfect. We will have to tread carefully from here on and gather more information about world government." Tsunade said, "I have half a mind to go and kill all these Tenryuubito or join the revolution." Mito, Mei and Tenten nodded in support of Tsunade statement. Hinata said, "Don't be so quick to decide baachan, it very well that they have a reason for acting like this." Tenten replied, "What possible reason they could have to kill a ten year old child?" Hinata said sighing, "I know; even I can't think of any good ones, but this world is large, there very well may be one. I am not saying that your decision is wrong, just asking you to delay your decision until we have more information. It is also possible that revolution is not the only good thing possible, even they can have some dark secrets and after all we know next to nothing about them too." Tobirama said, "Hinata is right. We should decide about what to do when we have more information." This statement caused him to receive glares from both Tsunade and Mito. "Ok, so we are leaving this topic alone." Hashirama said saving his brother from female ire. After that they small talked about less important things and went to sleep.
-Next Day-
Dragons have just started their training, after all they couldn't get rusty, if the world was as bleak as it sounds like then they would need all their skill, when boys came upon them. Naruto was trying to merge sage mode, haki and gravity armor again. Remaining dragons were trying to improve their use of haki with their specialties. Grass and pebbles around were continuously crushed, pulled or repelled when Naruto's tries failed. Luffy was entrapped by the phenomenon; his eyes were shining with excitement, he only said, "Suge!" making the pronouncing taking a long time to emphasize his excitement. At this all the dragons looked at Ace and Luffy once, then everyone went back to their training except Hinata and Naruto. Naruto said, "So you came. What are you going to do? Are you going to become something else now?" "No, I am still going to become pirate; for my friend's sake and mine." Ace replied. Hinata then asked, "So give me good reasons you two, otherwise we wouldn't let you become pirates on our watch." At this Ace explained that he wanted to overcome his father's name attached with him, he wanted to be free as he promised Sabo and become famous. He didn't want to live in suffocating rule of world government who wouldn't even punish a man who would kill a ten year old child on his whim. At this Naruto faced Luffy and asked, "What are your reasons?" "I want to become Pirate King, and be the freest men in the world." "Oh so for you path of pirate is to get freedom." Hinata queried. "What?" Luffy said as usual not understanding at all. Hinata sighed and explained, "You want to become pirate so you can become freest person in the seas." "Yes" said Luffy nodding vigorously. "Ok, so we will be training you from now on if and only if you promise not to harm innocent civilians." "Promise" Luffy and Ace promised. They really didn't want to become pirates to hurt, they wanted to be like Shanks who was cordial towards everybody and will accept any humiliation and punishment with smile but do everything to protect their friends and colleagues.
This started their gruesome tor…training by dragons. First Hinata and Tsunade pounded first aid methods and necessary medical knowledge in their heads. Tsunade said explaining when Luffy asked why they weren't training in fighting, "Until you know what needs to be done to stay healthy on sea, you will not be going anywhere. Because without knowledge you will become sick and no longer be able to travel." After that they learned basics of navigation from Mei and Tobirama. In both first aid and navigation Ace did well but Luffy's knowledge even if so much pounding was iffy at best. Sometime he will use his knowledge extremely well and sometime he would even forget smallest things. Anyway after these they started training them both in basics of taijutsu, specifically strong fist since gentle fist to be effective they needed chakra. In this case Luffy and Ace both did very well, Luffy's progress in absorbing fighting skills were astounding since he was smaller in age than Ace, he was showing great promise. Naruto thought about teaching them haki, but first they have to build up their strength and will to overcome in obstacle, only then haki can be used. Even if their strength was great considering their age, it was nowhere to trouble even Tenten when she has no weapons, nor do they have experience and even Dragons were developing their haki for now.
Even for all their training, gathering knowledge, meeting townspeople they never forget to return to their home to visit family. Every one of them went to visit their family at least twice in a month. In Dawn island; slowly but surely they were becoming attached to the boys. Everyone taught them some things. Every passing day both brothers strength was increasing rapidly in the training of fighting specialist. Luffy even asked them to teach their techniques especially teleportation. But they explained that most of techniques used by them can't be used by normal people if their chakra network has not been activated before age of ten. Ace understood but Luffy was sad for many days after that. Attachement was not one sided, even the boys were becoming attached to dragons, Naruto and Gaara became their strict ojisan (uncle) and Hinata and Tenten became their loving and caring obasan. Remaining dragons were given the title of granduncle and grandaunt. Tsunade was in very bad mood after hearing that she was again called an old lady by some brat.
They didn't just train Luffy and Ace daily, even for their tough body and temperament going through ninja training without chakra for whole day will be very costly, so for morning four hours two people will train them, rest went to visit villages, town, more training or sightseeing depending upon their mood after their morning trainings. They became fast friends with people of Foosha village especially Makino, the bar patron. All the people in the village had good character even if they can't be put into brave category. Training did improve their skills with haki. Hashirama could use Haoshoku haki well now, even if it was less strength than that of Naruto. Tsunade and Hinata could use haki in combination with their super strength now, which made them more formidable, they were even nearing the strength of Naruto when he combined sage mode and haki, and that was only because they were new to it. Since haki was influenced by one's experiences, Naruto was relieved since age their strength grows so will his, otherwise their will more to worry than only glares, because for now he could absorb their punches with only little effects, but if their strength heightens more he will be in trouble, since both of them had a habit of boinking him. Tobirama and Mei both can merge haki with taijutsu and some elemental jutsus. Gaara was still not good at taijutsu compared to Hashirama, Naruto, Hinata or Tsunade who were somewhat taijutsu specialist but he could combine haki with his sand armor to great effect. Tenten can use kenbunshoku haki to find invisible target or predict moving targets and imbue busoshoku haki in small weapons like kunai and shuriken, she didn't have much success in using haki with taijutsu since she was more concentrated on weapons Minato could also use haki very well and Kushina could use both kenbunshoku and busoshoku haki well with her swordplay. Jiraiya was still having trouble in controlling his Haoshoku haki but he could use kenbunshoku haki best among them except Naruto.
They also learned about weapons used in sea normally. Guns were projectile weapons which throw metal pellets at very high velocity. They checked its strength and found out that the armor made by rinnegan withstood the assault with no problem. Then there are canons, a good enough or large enough canon shot can destroy even a ship. Now that was new, they had just created something like that, which project elemental attack, there were no canon available so they couldn't properly its range and effects. They thought they would have to check its effect on the fly when faced with canons first time, till then they were going to add another layer of wood on outside, supported by rinnegan metal, to handle canon blasts. Their original plan to stay on the island for one month got derailed in training two brothers, modifying Kamikaze Kaguya, and it was around end of two months they were free and prepared to leave the island.
It was a sad time when they had to leave; they had made good relation with people of the villages. Hinata, Tsunade and Mito were sadder to leave Ace and Luffy, but their work here was done. They had even informed council on the information gathered till now. It was decided that a merchant ship will be sent to make contact with village and start trade, but they will not make a permanent base there because they didn't like nobles in Goa, and if they heard about the base, they will inform government, which consequently, will send ships to make contact, for now they didn't want to have that headache since hearing about state of world, more council members were becoming apprehensive about joining world government, but calmer heads prevailed and it was decided that more information is needed before deciding one way or other.
So now Dadan family, Makino, Woop Slap and few other people were here to see them off. Hashirama went ahead and used a Jutsu that brought up the ship from under what on second before was a dense forest beside shore, ship was encased in a wooden box large enough to completely envelope the ship to protect from earth above, and moved it on sea. Seeing this again everyone was shocked again, and this time Luffy's eyes and body were shining as he exclaimed, "Suge!" again lengthening his exclamation. They rode aboard the ship after saying bye to people, Tsunade and Hinata nearly crushed Ace when giving him hug, would have crushed Luffy too if he didn't have a rubber body. After everyone was aboard, Naruto yelled, "See you all sometime again. Luffy, Ace we will be waiting to hear about you two. We will be on the sea for five or six years at least. So make a name for yourself so we can know how you are doing." Ace has been freed from the condition after training, since it would be impossible for him to beat Naruto, even when he uses one hand, at this stage, maybe after he matured some more and learnt haki. After that ship started toward her travel onwards.
-End-
AN: I have noticed that both of them (Ace and Luffy) were too skilled fighter not to be trained by somebody. Everyone else was either trained or taught by someone. Like Sanji by Jeff, Zoro at initial dojo. So in this story they were trained by Dragons. Any way please read and review.
