Chapter 2

After leaving 'Bubblehead' to his punishment Naruto sailed his new ship for a few days till he spotted an island not too far from where he was. After directing his clones to dock the ship near the island Naruto water-walked towards the island and decided to have a look.

An hour after arriving on the island Naruto heard the sounds of swords clashing Naruto ran towards the sounds and when he got there he was speechless.

At one end of a field was a young woman with short blue hair wearing a red t-shirt, black pants, and brown sandals who was on her knees pointing a sword at another woman at the other end of the field.

The other woman had long blue-green hair going down her back and a crimson line stretched horizontally across her face under her eyes. She wore a black tank top underneath an open white jacket, white pants and white boots. She held her sword at her side as she said "Get up and attack again. Remember you're the one who sought me out to teach you."

The blue haired hair girl charged the other woman and the two started trading sword swings. Through most of the battle it was the blue haired girl attacking. However near the end however the blue-green haired started fighting back and after a minute had completely overwhelmed the other girl and disarmed her of her sword.

"You still have much to learn about being a true swordswoman Kuina." the blue-green haired woman said as she sheathed her blade.

"Yes Nelliel Sensei." the blue haired girl Kuina said.

Suddenly the sounds of clapping attracted the attentions of the two ladies towards Naruto. "That was quite the impressive display." Naruto said as he finished clapping.

Suddenly the blue green haired woman Nelliel was in front of Naruto with her sword at his neck. "Who the hell are you?"

Naruto smirked and said "And such speed too. I'm impressed."

Nelliel pressed her sword towards Naruto's throat. "I won't ask again."

Suddenly Nelliel felt a blade on her neck and a whisper in her ear. "You know it's rude to not introduce yourself before asking for another's name."

Nelliel turned to see that it was Naruto holding a kunai to her throat. She then turned to where Naruto was before only to see a log drop to the ground.

"Like I was saying, introduce yourself first." Naruto said.

Nelliel sighed "Nelliel Tu Odelschwank."

Naruto mouthed her name and said "That's a mouthful."

Nelliel smiled "That's why I prefer to be called Nel."

Naruto turned his head towards Kuina "She didn't."

"She's my apprentence so she feels she needs to treat me with respect. I've introduced myself how about you put down the knife and introduce yourself." Nel said.

"Sheath your sword then I'll put down the knife." Naruto said.

Nel did so and Naruto let her go. "Naruto Uzumaki at your service and I've decided I want you."

Nel blushed and stuttered "Ex...xcuse me. What did you say?"

Naruto realized that Nel misunderstood him "What I meant was I want you to join my crew. Of course whatever you were you thinking before too if possible."

Nel if possible blushed even more before she shook her head and asked "What crew?"

Naruto then relayed to her his plan to be Pirate King.

Kuina's jaw dropped while Nel chuckled and said "You're crazy and you're gonna need a crew as crazy as you to pull off this insanity. But you know what crazy and insane ideas have saved me a few times. Let's say I'm in. I just can't leave my apprentence here."

"Bring her along I've got a big enough boat." Naruto said pointing towards his docked ship.

"Where did you get that ship?" Kuina asked looking in awe at the ship.

"Stole from some asshole. Had some weird fetish of wearing a fishbowl on his head." Naruto said not noticing the shocked look on Kuina's face and the intrigued look on Nel's face.

"You stole a ship from of a Terryuubito?" Kuina asked shocked at what Naruto had insinuated.

"Yeah that's what the bastard called himself. He shot some poor fellow so he could the guy's wife as a slave. That pissed me off so I kicked his ass." Naruto said with a smirk on his face.

"You attacked a Terryuubito out in broad daylight?" Nel asked.

Naruto nodded not realising what Nel is trying to say.

"You do realise the whole Navy will be after you. Hitting a world noble is a serious offense. Do they know who you are?" Nel asked seriously.

"I've only been out on the ocean for about a week. I also never gave out my name. And if there are pictures of me...well then I can easily change my looks." Naruto said doing a quick Henge making himself look like Nel then changing back to himself.

"Besides us who else is a part of this crew?" Kuina asked.

"Just us for now." Naruto said nonchaluantly.

"How the hell are we gonna sail a ship with only 3 people on it? How the hell have you;ve been sail it with only one person?" Kuina screamed.

"I may be one man." Naruto said just as a bunch of shadow clones appeared around the group. "But this one man is also a one man army."

"Very impressive. It seems like a good idea to tag along with you. Kuina and I just need to get our stuff from the nearby town first." Nelliel said.

"I'll go with you. It'll give me a chance to get to know you both." Naruto said.

The 3 new crewmates then walked towards the nearby village.

Meanwhile on a marine ship close by marines were doing their normal jobs while being watched over by a man in a captains coat. This man's had a purple right eye while the left was cover by a white eyepatch. He had a ax/scythe like weapon strapped to his back. He held a wanted poster in his right hand.

This was Marine Captain Nnoitora Gilga

A nameless marine ran up to Nnoitora and said "We've almost the island sir."

Nnoitora smiled and said "Good. You all know your orders. Deal with Nelliel's little friend and make sure there's no place for Nelliel to escape to."

The nameless and said "Also we've found out that there's a bounty hunter group after her. It's said to be the group headed by 'The Gunslinger Priestess'."

Nnoitora waved the nameless pirate away and stared at the wanted poster.

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

NELLIEL TU ODELSCHWANK

25,000,000 BELI

"I've got you this time Nelliel. This time you die and no bounty hunter bitches are going to get in my way." Nnoitora said to himself.

Back on the island Naruto, Nelliel, and Kuina walked through the village towards the place where the two ladies were staying to pick up their stuff before leaving the island.

Unbeknownst to them they were being spied upon by 4 sets of eyes. "Okay it looks like she's picked up another friend besides the blue haired girl. We'll have to change tactics. Setsuna, you'll have to handle the girl by yourself. Ku, Kaede, the blonde's all yours. Be careful though, he doesn't look like much but you can never tell. Nelliel's mine got it. a woman's voice said.

"Got it!" a second female voice said.

"You bet aru!" a third female voice shouted

"No problem de-gozaru!" a fourth female voice said

"Well the ladies, let's get paid." the first female voice said.

Sorry it took so long. Next chapter...Naruto and friends versus bounty hunters and then a all out brawl with Nnoitora and his marines.

Also after reading your reviews I've decided that Mirajane from Fairy Tail will be the cook or at least head cook for the crew.

Keep sending in suggestions for crew members and crew positions. I'm not sure how big the crew will finally be. Quite a few writers put in small crews. I think if you're gonna do something like go after One Piece you should go big.

Later.
