Chapter 4: Meeting Pirates

-Start-

After coming far in sea from Dawn island, Gaara who was manning the helm asked, "So where to now?" Mei replied, "There is a marine base near here in Shells Town, we will able to reach that one in evening if we sped up a little. New map which I got in Goa has far more information about East Blue, not so much on how to go into Grandline except through calm belt. I think entry into Grandline is sort of secert. In the old map there was no mention of this marine base. Anyway should we go to this marine base captain-san?" Last sentence said in a teasing manner to Naruto.

Naruto sighed, "Don't harass me Mei-chan, I am aware that council decided to name me captain but we are all family here no need to use words like captain. So Tobirama-san what do you think?"

Tobirama thought for a second, "We should limit our contact with marines as long as possible. How many bases are there in East Blue Mei-chan?"

"I think around 10, at least as I much I can gleam from this map, but from here on if we travel to Loguetown, which is said to be nearest port from Grandline, we will only pass one in Shells town which is near, according to this map, and knowledge we gained, Loguetown is just at opposite end of Dawn Island."

Tobirama pondered for a second and said, "I think it will be better to proceed to Loguetown directly."

"How many days will it take us to reach Loguetown directly Mei-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Around seven days if we go at this pace, at breakneck speed around three and half days bar any obstacles." Mei replied. Naruto thought about it and asked Hinata, who was sort of given the job of keeping inventory of the kitchen(more like didn't let it go in the hands of Naruto, otherwise whole ship will be only eating ramen), "Do we have enough supplies to last Hinata-chan."

"Yeah, we have enough supplies for around two month on the ship, stored in stasis seals." Hinata replied.

"So we are good. We will be going directly to Loguetown Gaara." Naruto finally announced.

-On second day of Travel-

It was around sunset when they finally got the chance to test effects of canon blast on their reinforced ship. It happened because they encountered a pirate ship flying a jolly roger with cat type skull. Pirates first placed their ship on front of ship to obstruct them and then their captain yelled, "We are Black Cat pirates. You are in our territory merchants, so please hand over all your money to save yourself from a bloodbath." Naruto who till now was enjoying peaceful wind and scenery of seas said, "Oh, really. Why don't you try?" annoyed. Seeing that there is no effect on the people on the deck, Kuro became angry and ordered the men to fire the canons. Naruto seeing the bustling on other ship raised an eyebrow, confident on ships reinforcement. As the first volley appeared a wall of water obstructed the path of canons. Naruto swiveled towards Tobirama and asked irritated, "Oi, why did you that for?"

"It is not good to assume Naruto, what if their canon had been powerful?" Tobirama replied in a calm tone.

"Hey I am not that reckless now, if canon blasts harmed Kaguya I was going to use Kuronosu(Time God) you know." Naruto said.

"I always forget about that power." Tobirama said.

Naruto said, eyerolling "Ok, so now can you let at least one pass through the water wall. Even if it harms the ship, I will use Kuronosu if destruction is large we will not let any more canon ball even touch the ship."

"Ok" said Tobirama letting one canon pass. After blowing up with lots of smoke and sound when it impacted with the hull of Kaguya, there was no harm, not even a scratch to Kaguya.

Naruto looking smug said, "See, see there was no harm in that fool's canon hitting our ship."

Tobirama sighed and said, "Yeah, but in any case you should not assume and underestimate your opponents."

"Hey I was not underestimating any one, I did tell you that I was going to use Kuronosu, did I not?" Naruto said.

While that discussion/rant was going on Kaguya, Kuro was becoming more and more agitated. While seeing that canons had no effect on the ship was shocking, he being he( Captain Kuro of hundred plans), overcame that shock. That agitation turned into rage seeing that everybody on the ship was completely ignoring him and his pirates. And rage passed his limit to be composed when he heard Naruto calling him a fool. He lost his compsure and jumped from his ship to the Kaguya and started preparing his stealth foot to massacre all ship residents.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Hashirama asked. Hearing all the noise and commotion from canon blasts and jutsus everyone was on deck now.

"Nothing much, just preparing for your death scyth." Kuro said gritting his teeth since even nobody was taking him seriously.

"Wow, morbid much? So who is going to handle him?" Hashirama asked thinking they will let him since he was becoming bored.

At this Kushina said, "Let me, since most likely he uses swords on his gloves to fight." "Ok, kaa-chan" Naruto said.

Hashirama sighed and mumbled sadly, "I asked because I wanted to fight."

Mito said consoling him, "Don't be sad, hashi-chan, you will get your chance to fight."

While there was bickering going on anger was building inside Kuro, he started on stealth foot with maximum speed possible, as he was going to get a first hit, he was blocked by Kushina. Now he was really shocked, since even he couldn't guess where the next attack will be and from his position he was attacking on the farthest side of ship from where he was standing before, this attack was going to damage ship, but in the same time it took him to travel here she was able to reach and even block him.

"Oh, you are fast, I didn't think any one on the sea was this fast that is why I was not prepared for this speed before, so I was only able to block. That goes to show what happens when you underestimate your opponent" Kushina said.

"What do you mean by you were able to block only? Don't exaggerate you can't counter this speed." Somehow regaining some of the confidence after getting shocked from tip to toe. His underlings could only watch , none of them could comprehend what they were seeing, they have good reason to be this shocked after all someone just stopped Captain's unblock able stealth foot. On Kaguya Kuro again started with stealth foot but this time all his claws of steel were chopped of instead, and he found a red katana near his throat.

"Make one move and you will not have a throat for speaking." Kushina said. After he was bound and all his pirate underlings were taken care of Hianta said, "So what are we going to do with him? Is he going to be my new test subject for my poisons?" All men flinched at this; sometime or other everyone of them had been a test subject and nobody wanted to remember about it. It was decided that they will inform nearest marine base using Naruto's summons and move onwards when they start seeing marines on the horizon. Checking the map they found out that nearest base from that point still was in Shell Town so they sent an animal path bird summon to Shell Town carrying a message.

It was next evening that they saw a ship flying a seagull flag on horizon, so they left the pirates bound on the ship and left. They didn't know that Kuro will get free from his bounds and this defeat by dragons will finalize his decision to leave the life of piracy by substituting him with a lookalike shipmate. Any way back to Kaguya, they again continued sailing to Loguetown, since even if around one day was wasted on wait for marines, they have more than enough supplies to reach Loguetown. And so they were on their way peacefully until an encounter with another pirate.

It was second day after leaving black cat pirates when they came upon a interesting pirate ship which had a clown like skull on the jolly roger. Ship was headed towards them, most probably to do piratey stuff, like looting and destroying. So Gaara, who was manning the helm and Tenten, who was polishing/cleaning her weapons, got a bit cautious. As soon as the ship came near, a man in the clown costume yelled, "I am captain of Buggy pirates, Captain Buggy, surrender yourself or feel my wrath." Tenten who was still annoyed due to encounter with Kuro, seeing the face of a clown faced man got more annoyed and just fired hail of kunais and shurikens on them, before Buggy could say anything more, or in this case any one of the pirates could react. All pirates on deck scattered, most of them injured but Buggy remained, more than ten weapon cut him, but even after this he was in one piece. Tenten was shocked for a moment, thinking that he has upper hand he grabbed this chance, ordering firing of his cannons. Gaara knew that no harm could be done to ship by normal canons, so he let them impact with the ship. Result was large amount of smoke and large sound, which brought everyone on the deck. Gaara just sighed, he shouldn't have let the canon balls impact, because now they have to live with sulky Hashirama again and he just recovered from previous sulk of not getting a fight too. After they couldn't let him fight small fries because that will be like Naruto fighting Ace which is way way way overboard.

Buggy seeing that his canon balls are having no effect on the ship and seeing more people coming on deck, gathering all his strength so that his voice doesn't come out shaky, ordered, "We will retreat, after all we need to tend our man of injuries, and that becomes before piracy." Trying to save his face for deciding to retreat. Everyone aboard Kaguya raised his/her eyebrows.

Naruto said, "Oh, he is running; shouldn't he try to loot us first?"

Tobirama said, "He looks more experienced. So may be he knew by lookin at us that he will not be able to defeat us."

At this Tenten said, "He also ate a devil fruit which let him bypass swords cutting effects. As we know Devil Fruits are mostly found in Grandline. I think that guy knows more about seas, or at least knows how to get into Grandline."

"So how should we get the information?" Hashirama asked hoping that he will be allowed to fight. Tobirama sighed and just used a jutsu that let water rise from sea and fall on the pirate ship in large quantity, negating Devil Fruit power of buggy for a time and also hindering their ability to move.

"Ok then this is my turn." Naruto said. Jumping to pirate ship and using Human Path on Buggy. After that he destroyed their sails and returned. "Should we call marines again?" Hinata asked. "Nah, I destroyed their sails they will be stranded here, so someone will inform the marine after seeing them." Naruto replied.

"That is reckless Naruto, you know one of them has a devil fruit. I think he will be able to handle normal merchant ships or passenger ships easily. So we should send notice to marine base again." Tobirama said.

"That will alert marines about a group attacking pirates, after all once can be considered a coincidence, bu twice, I don't think so." Naruto said.

"You are right. So what should we do?" Hinata said.

Tobirama said, "We will sabotage his ship more, and after reaching Loguetown inform the marines there, by some other people for not be noticed."

"That is a good enough idea." Naruto said. After they sabotaged the ship and continued to Loguetown. After sometimeAnyway what did you found out?" asked Mei.

"Sorry I couldn't touch him for long because his clown make up just creeped me out. So informatio is a bit jumbled, wait a moment. Oh wow!" Naruto exclaimed.

"What happened? What did you found out to get that much excitement?" Tobirama asked. Naruto explained, "He was a fountain of information, apparently he was apprentice on Pirate King's ship, so he knew about aura of powerful people, that's why he decided to run because he could guesstimate our strength, which even suppressed was to much for him. Any way there is loads of important information there. So let me comb through it thoroughly and we will talk about it at dinner, after dropping anchor." Everyone nodded at this, since dinner usually was the time to talk.

At dinner after filling their bellys, Naruto said, "So I sorted through all his memories and knowledge. He knows much more than we expected. Let's start with seas. As we know seas are divided into four blues and Grandline and Grandline's boundary calm belt. Now calm belt is not only dangerous because of no wind, but it is full of large sea kings, like the one we saw near Dawn Island but much much bigger. Grandline is divided into two parts, first part is called paradise by anyone who has travelled to second part of grandline called New World. New World being most dangerous and unpredictable sea in the world. After dinner I will all knowledge he knew about seas to you, Mei-san. Now second is government, he didn't knew much about government but apparenty there are three main power on sea which maintains the balance of power, marines lead by Gorosei, Shichibukai and Yonko. While Shichibukai are powerful pirates sanctioned by government, yonko are powerful enough to even scare the marines. They rule the New World and we already know marines are soldiers for world government. Now yonko are interesting, they rule the New World part of Grandline and apparently they are so powerful that no other pirate or even marines dare to directly attack them without backup or in case of emergencies. Most powerful among them is Whitebeard, he is also called strongest man in the world after death of Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Also interesting was that he served on Roger's ship as apperentice with Luffy's idol Shanks, who is now also one of the Yonko. He also knew about haki, even though he can't use it himself. There are some techniques which we didn't know using haki, that he knew. I will try to perfect them and then teach you. He also knows why Grandline is so dangerous apparently no normal compass works in Grandline, you have to use a special compass called logpose to travel. So these are the main things. So what do you think."

Everyone considered the information then Tobirama said, "I think this knowledge opens up a path for protection of our country's people if we don't like the world government."

Tsunade asked, "Oh, what is that?"

Tobirama repiled, "We could become yonko."

Hearing this alternative Hashirama got excited, "Living life as a pirate now that will be interesting." Everyone but Naruto sighed, there was a glint in Naruto's eye, like he wanted to become Yonko or fight the most powerful man and compare his power with him. After all nobody could give him even a proper spar now a days until he limits himself drastically. That night Hashirama and Naruto both had dreams of being greatest and most powerful pirates instead of their regular ones with their respective spouses being main characters.
