A/N: hey people. Sorry about the wait. Yeah, I know it's like three weeks and since my chapters are kinda short I should post like every week. But real life (I think I might have one) comes first. So guys, chapter 5. enjoy it, because it took alot of long shits to complete this.

Disclaimer: If I could make money when I shit everyday, trust me, I would be doing it. Yes, that means I don't own Naruto or one piece.

"They sure do Party a lot", a blonde ninja said, who was observing the party –festival from his corner in a bench in which he was snuggled nicely. And they did. This was the third night of the celebration, people were still shouting, dancing, singing, eating and drinking by the light of the bright festival lamps that glowed under a star filled sky.

"It's not that much of a surprise, I mean, these people were being crushed under that blue asshole ass for a tenth of their lives. I mean, what if something like that happened to us." Sasuke told Naruto, who was sitting next to him the bench, eating some ramen. Naruto, of course, had finished ten times more in ten times less time then he was taking (and for all you math nerds out there, yes, Naruto was eating 100times faster then Sasuke).

"Yeah imagine… log forbid that ever happens. That would bore me out of my mind." The still mostly hyperactive ninja said, looking up to the sky thoughtfully.

"You would probably party for half an year and wouldn't be sober for a full one." The Uchiha snickered, since he pretty much called Naruto a drunk. Of course, such things wouldn't work on Naruto.

"Wow you actually complimented my on something other than my fighting skills! I didn't know you had it in you, Sasuke!" He practically yelled, patting (slapping) a sweat dropping Sasuke on the back, "I'm going off to drink and party some more so see you later!"

Sasuke sighed as he watched the retreating back of his friend. He envied him, because Sasuke was always the one that had to plan their things out. He closed his eyes and rolled his head back, so his face was looking straight up. Since they were the Guardians of the world or some dumb crap like that, so they had to get rid of evil (their enemies, it didn't really matter if they were evil), make sure the government didn't get corrupt, yada yada yada. So where to next… their little vacation in the east blue was nice, it was a very peaceful place. He had enjoyed the past 8 or so years. But they couldn't just sit idle.

Apparently there was some big pirate ruckus in the grand line, so they could go there. Word was that Roger made some dumb speech before the government killed him so bunches of people were inspired to become pirates. Damn Roger. He just had to do that, didn't he. Anyhow, that was where they were going next. But that was a hard to reach place. How he could get there… he could get a sea stone plated boat, he heard those work in the calm belt against the damn sea kings, but how the hell was he going to get the money for that? He supposed they could bounty hunt, but then they might as well water walk there for all the attention that would get them. And they definitely couldn't fight through the sea kings. Even for them, they were irritating, and the belt would take an estimated week for them to fight through. That would also cause a ruckus because those giant things were massive and they would need to use attacks with a big bang. They definitely needed a good boat, though.

Last time, after they learned that they couldn't just use a rowboat or something, Naruto built a boat, in 12 hours with the help of 20 or so of his clones. The thing was terrible, and ended up making Sasuke very grumpy. He also couldn't get any sleep because Naruto was "banging" quite loudly at night, and he could hear right through the walls. They would need sound proof ones this time, so he could get some damn sleep. But first, of course, they needed the money for that. So the ever lasting problem, how in the world were they going to fund their ship, quickly, without gathering much attention? Sasuke groaned in absolute frustration and stood up to grab a beer before sitting back down to think. What? He was a man. He needed beer to think too.

And once they do fund, where were they going to go? Without a navigator or even a map, they couldn't use the weird canal thing they heard about, if it was even real at all. But where were they going to find a map with instructions to the grand line or a navigator? The black haired man racked his brain furiously for some kind of solution to their problem.

"Mind if I sit?" A feminine voice asked, prompting Sasuke to open his eyes and lift his head. Turned to see the orange haired girl that he had heard the story from.

"Sure…" Sasuke swore internally. He forgot her namae. How could he forget her name? Naruto told him not to because it was rude, and if he did something the blonde idiot said was rude, then he would never hear the end of it from him.

It was Nami, a voice inside him said.

Internally thanking the bijuu for remembering her name, he finished, "Nami."

She sat down next to him, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked, "Is there something on your mind? If I can, I'd love to help. After all, I do owe a debt to you." She asked, surprising Sasuke.

"You owe us about thirty seconds of work, so don't worry about it." He said with an uncharacteristic chuckle. He didn't do it much because when he tried, Naruto said

Orochimaru must have rubbed off on Sasuke, which he was NOT too happy about. But he thought he pulled a normal sounding one off this time.

"Well, if you don't care, do it for me. I don't like the feeling of owing someone." She replied frowning a little.

"Alright, I guess I could tell you…" He started, and continued to tell Nami about his troubles, "Were trying to get to the grand line -," at this point Nami gasped "and solve some problems there. The problem Navigator to get us there at least and guide us, or a map to get there by worst, I have no Idea where to get any of those, and to top if off, we're probably going to have to be fighting Pirates all the time. A nice vacation, huh?

Suddenly, she said, "Can I go with you?"

"Huh?" What did she mean?

"Can I go with you to the grand line?" she clarified, surprising the Uchiha. It wasn't everyday someone wanted to go to the grand line that wasn't a pirate or a crazy nut. The stories that came out of the place occasionally impressed both Naruto and Sasuke.

"Umm, well, " He stuttered, confused to what he should do. No one had wanted to go to go with them before. And to talk to him about it? That was plain crazy. But here she was.

"I can help you get money by stealing from other pirates," She started, "I know someone who has a map to the grand line, and I'm a navigator. Three in one, deals don't get better than this, and you know it."

She was right, he supposed, she definitely would help with all of their current problems. And that Arlong guy was making her write maps since she was really young, so she had to be good enough to be one… so there was only one problem.

"Why do you want to come with us to the grand line?" he asked, as this was the question that would tip the balance.

The orange haired girl looked quite taken aback by the question. Perhaps this was personal? But, this was a necessary question, so he stood firm.

Nami's eyes were glazed over for a second, then she answered, "I want to make a map of the entire world, including the grand line. So can you take me?"

Well, can't hurt, I guess he thought before simply nodding. "Are you sure that you want to though, you probably won't be able to come back here for a long time," he asked, to make sure her resolution was set.

She nodded firmly. That was all he needed.

Naruto meanwhile

Look, pink dolphins are swimming in the table,

Yeah, they're really pretty, Kurama said

And look, the ceiling is so close it tickles,

No it just hurts,

Hey, who turned off the lights?

Dammit, I b-bet it's the janitor again,

w-what? Kill them! No, you know what no,

Yeah, just kneel before the log and pray,

All of the bijuu watching Naruto and Kyuubi's drunken conversation were laughing their Asses off and taking pictures with their oversized IPhones.

The very next day, the duck did not walk up to the lemonade stand. Instead, Naruto and Sasuke were preparing to depart. Which was, walking to their rowboat. The blonde was dragging his feet through the dirt path under the glaring sun in between the fields, cloak over his shoulder looking like he took a shower in his clothes. Somehow, Sasuke hadn't sweat a drop as he walked like he usually did.

"Mm, Naruto?"

"Yeah, what's up?" Looking toward Sasuke, Naruto said.

"I got something to tell you."

Naruto frowned, thinking of what it could be. "What?"

"Someone else is coming,"

"Someone is trying to attack us?"

"No, someone is tagging along."

"Huh? How come? And who is it?" Naruto asked.

"She can solve all of our problems. Well, enough of them. And it's nice to help someone fulfill their dreams." Sasuke said, "And as for who it is…"

They rounded a corner to see their rowboat. With Nami sitting inside.

"Hmm Nami? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked, surprised, causing Sauske to face palm.

"Her! She's the person who's going to be traveling with us for a while." Sauske almost yelled, as an understanding look crept up Naruto's face.

"Well, welcome to the group thingy Nami." Naruto said, smiling and offering a hand to shake, which the orange haired girl shook.

Naruto frowned before saying, "Are you sure? Have you said your good bye's yet?"

"I did." She said, before asking, "Umm, where is you real boat?"

Naruto pointed at the rowboat.

Shrugging, Naruto said, "Constantly rowing, it usually takes us a few days to reach land. That's how we've always done things."

Sasuke nodded to confirm the truth to the words.

Few seconds later…

"WHAT? You row around? And you want to go to the grand line? Do you know anything about the ocean? You're crazy!" Nami yelled, scared by the stupidity of the two men in front of her. Why, how, all of this confused her so badly.

"Alright, we're going now," Naruto claimed, before he pushed the rowboat off the land and jumped in. Sasuke jumped in after him.

Naruto did his signature hand sign and poof! To beings made just to row.

"Row, Slaves!" Naruto yelled cruelly at himself.

Nami was currently having a heart attack. "W-w-what but there three Naruto's? What? Am I seeing things? Is it because of the heat? What!?"

"Calm down, Nami," Sasuke said calmly, as he explained, "He can do that. That's an ability he has. He can create clones of himself."

Still hyperventilating, Nami looked around again, and promptly fainted.

"Damn."

Nami woke up to find herself wet, and rocking back and forth. No, all you dirty minds, she was not. She was at the bottom of a rowboat of all things, in the middle somewhere in the deep blue. So that was not a dream. All of that, being free finally from Arlong with the help of those two men, which she decided to go with, which may have been kind of dumb, because they were awfully so. No one got around on a rowboat using… So she wasn't seeing things, she confirmed finally, after opening her eyes and getting a good look at the three Naruto's from her position at the bottom of the boat. It seemed like she had been out for a while. Her back ached and her arms were sore. It was time to get the hell up.

Nami groaned as she sat up and stretched her arms toward the sky, which Nami noted was somewhat cloudy. That meant rain by tonight or tomorrow morning. Wherever they were going better be close, because she for one definitely didn't want to get soaked.

"You're up," The black haired one said to her, who was sitting at the back of the boat facing back with a fishing pole grasped in his hands. "You were out for a while after fainting," Sasuke continued with a slight snicker, who found it funny that someone would pass out from that technique not because there were twenty Naruto's punching you in the head, but from surprise. But then again, these people don't know anything about ninja, chakra or world history for that matter. How people had been bereft of everything they had in their time. It was so they can't fight and make wars, theysaid. So they wouldn't want more, they said. This was the new age of peace and greatness where everyone is happy, they said. He called bullshit. He should have bet on it, because he would have make tons of money.

"Hmm? Yeah, you're up! Sorry about that, I probably should have warned you." Naruto said in a much friendlier manner than Sasuke.

A light blush of embarrassment crossed here cheeks as she remembered how when had acted after seeing three of the blonde. She just couldn't imagine, people actually had powers like that? She thought devil fruits were just rumors. What other things didn't she know? Her resolve to continue at sea hardened as she started to want to know the mystery's of the big wide world.

Meanwhile at Kokoyashi

"She could have at least personally said goodbye…" Nojiko mumbled as she wiped away the tear that was blurring her vision. She sat in her one room cot clutching the note that Nami had left behind.

"That would have been nice. I didn't think she would leave so soon but I knew that she would have to sometime. She's too big of a person to be cooped up in this small town. I always say, but you two really grew up to be her kids. She couldn't stay here either." The scar covered Gen said, equally sorrowfully. He too wanted to at least say a proper goodbye. "And I thought she would take the money, at least some of it but she left it all here. For rebuilding Kokoyashi and the other villages, I bet," Gen said, eyeing the bulging sack of money.

"She had close to 91 million berries in there, she could have payed out pretty soon. Not that I'm not glad those guys came and beat the crap out of Arlong, but they didn't have to." The blunette said, eyes still unfocussed and tearing.

"Bah, You really think that Arlong would have held to his promise? She was his greatest tool at that point I bet. When some of them came by I overheard how Arlong got pissed when there was a false report of her dying. He wouldn't have let her go 'just because'." Gen stated confidently as he idly spun the pinwheel stuck in his hat.

"It's time to go tell Belmere-san."

Both people kneeled in front of a largish wooden cross stuck in the ground on the tip of an overhang over the ocean.

"You think she would have been happy?" Nojiko asked softly.

"She would have been happy with almost anything you had done. You really should have seen her, half dead in a rowboat carrying the two of you," Gen said, "like any true mother should."

A/N: That last scene was pretty hard to write, actually. Damn, whoever said the shit writes itself is just being annoying. Yes, that means you, tom. And you, Joe. Don't think you're bieng passed over, Kim Kardashian. (I did have to look her name up to spell it right)

BTW, there's a poll with a small spoiler you guessed if you're not an idiot.
