His ambition was always the same as his old man's, but they didn't agree on some points until the God Valley Incident. In fact, it started a long time ago, from the waning days when your will was dormant. Now he has decided to perform the moves that are sure to shake the whole world.

The Majestic Rise of the Rocks Pirates
Chapter 1
"The Ways of Life!"
Year 1485 - 37 years ago
Somewhere in the skies of the New World
Weak people are as predictable as ocean waves. And for many the sea was not an easy task. Just like the sky that departed from the beginnings of the earth to rule, abandoning it along with the sea to dominate and conquer all that was above, and consequently, who was below.
In fact, this was the thinking of the weak who imagined that they could reap the good and the best with just a short journey in their lives that from another perspective could be seen as pathetic, meaningless and largely empty in their hollow worlds devoid of the adventure of the dangers that surrounded all seas.
Looking at the sky that in that part of the day had the blinding sun shining brightly and scattering its solar rays all over the sea, a thunderous sound faster than a bullet broke the sound barrier capable of driving away the waters of the seas became audible, while the sound waves continued to punish anyone nearby with the unusual event taking place.
Boats, boats and ships, built of easily perishable or inferior wood, could not withstand the occurrence and imploded in themselves, while their crew members only had enough time to raise their palms in an attempt to protect their screaming ears and babbled without sense after being thrown into the water.
And in the end, they were looking from side to side with trembling trying to understand what was happening and the wisest not being able to look up imagining that it had been an enemy attack, but then realizing that there was no ship nearby, either navy, pirate, or any other reckless adventurer.
And even if there was nothing they would do because everything that could be observed in that portion of the sea after the breaking of the barrier of sound that started in the sky, ended up with the boats transformed into splinters of wood that were now being desperately grabbed by the unfortunate unfortunates that at some point moment would serve as a feast for the life form that lurked with its red eyes and mouth drooling with teeth skewered by its luck.
After all, weakness and cowardice were one of the main opponents against a man's dreams, and those who lack such an indispensable aspect as a strong will are certainly destined to suffer in the face of life's challenges, even if it were against a sea animal categorized as king of the sea. The real end was the dreams being devoured and the blue water of the sea turning into a bright red that represented the liquid of the essence of life.
In front of these events was the figure who continued undisturbed. Only someone with excellent eyesight could accurately pinpoint the black dot causing the unnatural disturbance that maneuvered the skies and left in its wake a slash that split all the clouds in its path.
And by excellent eyesight, I mean a raw perception and so polished to the point of seeing the long black cape, long, spiky black hair that swayed madly in the strong winds covering the cold and intense black eyes that were thoughtfully staring into space.
Incoherently proclaiming dreams and goals and asserting a position on something or what you want are one of the biggest mediators of who you are, who you were or who you want to be. And your will is the only thing that ties all these things together. It's the only thread that holds them together, and it's the only thing that can make what men call dreams come true.
Although he still preferred to call it 'ambition'.
"So many thoughts." - said audible and resounding with a deep voice the mature man of 31 years who flew at ridiculous speeds through the skies with arms crossed at chest height, remarkably manipulating the graviton particles to achieve the act, making his feat impeccable and unattainable for many, if not anyone else in the world but his crewmate, Shiki, the Golden Lion. In fact, its flight capabilities were superior in many factors.
"She's lucky to be my wife." – A small sigh passed through his mouth at the statement said when he suddenly stopped flying and hovered in the air with his captain's cape flapping in the wind, still arms crossed.
"Almost 1 year has passed since the events in God Valley." - commented seriously the imposing man with intense black eyes staring at the skies above beyond the stars and seeing the vastness of space that no other person was able to see. The universe really was beautiful and so unexplored because people were so focused on walking the land and sailing the seas rather than allowing themselves to touch everything, including the sky and the skies above it, but he wouldn't allow his family to be so ignorant as others. After all, he never allowed it.
His daydreams were momentarily interrupted, for in the time it took for an average human to blink, a strong wind assaulted his form, causing his robes, cloak, and the black strands of unruly hair to shake. And only now was it possible to see him in full body, revealing his appearance, while the sun was high behind his back granting the dark-themed man even more splendor, if that were possible.
He is a heavily built and remarkably, but athletically muscular imposing man reaching around 6' 3" in height. His not excessive physique with muscles like steel bars that demarcated his eight pack abs and already impressive height is accompanied by an angular face with a strong jaw, dark hair, long and spiky that failed to try to hide ambition behind black eyes like the darkest night.
His shaggy hair reached down to his upper back that was long and strong enough to hold up the stylish large black high-collared captain's cape that had the sleeves loose and adorned with majestic red fire licking where his wrists would have been, and the bottom of the cover was also burning with flames of the same color. On the shoulders were golden stars on each side attesting to his sovereignty and the inside of the cape was a brilliant dark purple filled with the details of red skulls that burned in royal flames with flames that resembled two horns, along with opaque, almost invisible wording of letters found only written in Poneglyph.
Inside the large cape, the man was dressed in a luxurious full-length royal black suit that took the same details as the inside of his cape, having buttons on the chest and sleeves, and showing the collar of the red shirt he wore underneath of the robe. The ensemble of the suit ended in black, but expensive and luxurious shoes that had a certain glittery sheen to them.
And finally on the left side of his waist he kept a long sword that seemed simple at first glance with a completely black sheath as well as the sword's hilt, but don't be fooled, because there was sheathed one of the strongest swords in the world, if not the most dangerous, classified as one of the '12 Swords of Supreme Grade' and known worldwide for its black edge, extensively off-limits properties and the quality of cut capable of reclaiming reality itself reshaping the world as we know it.
At one point it was not in vain that one day after literally making the skies fall into the waters accidentally, the blade wielder decided to name her Sōzō(Creation) realizing in his spirit by the spirit of the blade that he appeared to have the qualities of a king, the willingness to be above others. And he didn't deny it. It was an undeniable fact.
Nowadays in addition to being a demanding and increasingly thirsty Kokutō (Black Blade), the blade charges abnormal levels of willpower, and unbelievably accusing in three of its inherent capabilities which are the absorption and extraction of the three forms of Haki. Not that it was a problem for someone like him, because even the most unshakable will flickered against his will.
The same will he's been constantly improving since the day he first held a blade, and that was days after he was born. Three days to be exact, that is, a long time ago. And then in the future to meet the woman who would become his wife, and later the loving mother of his offspring, and then soon after they would constitute a family together that had no intention of stopping their growth so soon.
The same family that a few days ago grew a little more welcoming and celebrated for days with pomp the birth of two adorable new members, twin daughters who were named Rocks D. Charlotte Mozart and Rocks D. Charlotte Marnier, representing the 12th and 13th daughters of 32 children, of the infamous 'Most Powerful Pirate Couple in the World', as well as 'The Most Dangerous Pirate Family on the Seas', in the words issued by the spokesman for the Navy HQ.
So you wonder what your rivals on the seas have to do to stand up to a man like him. Someone who has so many priorities, so much to protect, so much to conquer, an uncontrollable ambition and is constantly exposed to the thirst of a blade so thirsty it can devour the spirit of an ordinary being with a simple touch.
Finally, returning the sword to his waist, due to the world-class knowledge that the blade possesses is also a Meitō (Named Sword).
Finally, taking a look at the visible back of his cape and which had the sun shining in its position, it was possible to see the symbol that landed the world in recent times. The writing 'ROCKS' which had the letter 'O' depicted as a red flaming skull with flames resembling two horns demarcated his identity as an allied pirate of the Rocks Pirates, but he was not a mere crewman on that ship.
This man is Rocks D. Naruto, a good son, an even better father, and an excellent husband for his beloved, married to a pirate recognized as one of the most beautiful women on the seas, the same infamous woman who since she was 18 years old proudly goes by her married name, Rocks D. Charlotte Linlin, the 'Big Mom'.
As for the nickname his wife has become known by over the last 12 years, this is solely because they have a family of 32 children, so it wasn't a surprise, but when on the same day his similar came out as 'Big Dad of Steel'. Well, we can say that things weren't funny, although his wife had been laughing beautifully for weeks, so that was one less negative point.
As much as 'The Man of Steel' came later to calm things down and others, but these and many others are stories for another day.
Furthermore, the man is also the Captain of the Rocks Pirates and the last known living descendant of the pirate captain who together with his crew sailed the seas as the most dangerous and strongest pirate crew of his time, a time that is not far from his own time, being led by the hitherto Rocks D. Xebec. The same crew that nowadays sail under the same flag, but a new command. Your command.
"I wonder to this day..."
Revealed the last Rocks known to the world and a direct descendant of the 'enemy of the Gods', the 'D' family, looked in the direction of where he knew the navy base was, and then his formerly black eyes lit up in color red that glowed sharply alike like two laser beams. – "And to think they also get a 'D.' in the name. This is regrettable. " – at this point his voice had taken on a dangerous tone.
"What is the reason that made me reconsider bringing the calamity to what is now hailed as the 'Hero of the Navy' and his insects?" - Complemented Naruto coldly, questioning himself, tilting his head a little to the right.
And that's when it happened.
Red and black beams seemed to cover the two beams like laser beams being held in Naruto's once-dark orbs, and the world around him shuddered .
Reality itself was being distorted forcefully by the power being invoked, as typhoons, cyclones and cataclysmic events took hold of that place.
Naruto remained unperturbed in the midst of it all with the elements around him and staring unblinkingly with his enhanced vision at the distant fixed point that lurked behind the red mountain surrounding the world.
"Purururu"
The second he seemed ready to make the decision, he stopped abruptly when he heard the recognizable sound coming from his wrist and looked immediately in that direction without blinking, calmly watching the black transponder snail that called out to him.
"Purururu"
The sound was emitted by the same snail he was staring at still with glowing red eyes now raising an eyebrow at the event.
"Purururu"
Resigned, the black haired man watched this happen ten more times while still in the same posture, before sighing and shaking his head.
"gacha"
"Who is he?" – Naruto answered and ordered with a powerful voice still facing the communicator, but he was slightly surprised by the voice that followed.
"Dad! How do you not know who I am?" - A shrill and indignant scream came from the transponder snail and hit the black haired man full.
"Oh." - A different look covered Naruto's face at what he heard. – "And who could it be?" – He asked slightly playfully pretending he didn't know anything, only for the other side to act dramatically shouting even more words like 'It can't be, Papa!' or 'It's me, Papa! Your son! How can you forget about me like that?!' As this was happening Naruto's before red eyes started to go back to normal black and a smile covered his face.
"Calm down, my dear son. I know it's you, Pero-kun." - Calmly replied Naruto to his eldest son, not only one of his dearest treasures, but also one of his heirs.
The other side hearing this seemed to calm down a bit when the transponder snail stopped moving crazily and out of nowhere a lollipop appeared in the 'hands' of the transponder which licked it. – "Really, Papa? My name is Rocks D. Charlotte Perospero! Of course, you wouldn't forget! ~Perorin" – the 12-year-old boy excitedly shouted, the first child of Naruto and his wife Linlin, and the first grandchild of Rocks D. Xebec.
Hearing that statement the night-black haired man smiled fiercely.
"Good, my son. Why did you call? Is everything okay with you?" - Naruto spoke with a father's voice and noticed the minimal movements that the snail started to do, imitating what his son was doing on the other side, right after he asked. – "Don't be like that, son. Tell me what's going on." - He continued firm with a calm and warm voice giving the confidence he needed to say.
Now you might even wonder why he acted so forcefully, bordering on deep concern, but above all fatherly with impeccable excellence. This was due to acts that had taken place in the past. The same year as the God Valley Incident, some time later.
Exactly 1 year ago there was an unfortunate attempt where some petty delinquents tried to act contrary to the established rules in his absence with daring approaching negatively having malicious intentions towards his beautiful little princess Brûlée or as he and his mother liked to call 'Sweet Little Princess of Mirrors', as well as their little son adored by their younger siblings, Rocks D. Charlotte Katakuri, one of their triplets. And that at that point he was already a Devil Fruit user, as he had been gifted by his parents 5 years ago with the Special Paramecia Fruit, Mochi Mochi no Mi.
It was the last day for the kids who didn't know what they were trying to commit against the blood of a 'Rocks D. Charlotte' family member.
Suffice it to say that on that very day stars were created to compose the universe, and some parents lost their children through sheer negligence. And unless they could escape the center of the earth, their wails would forever be buried in the same place where he rammed them with a punch that completely reshaped the entire island in his wrath and seared the land with laser beams that bathed his eyes in a deep red, ending with an icy breath that froze the whole place, including the surrounding sea for miles.
No one was able to forget that day. Which is why any other being never dared to mess with the fruits of his love with the woman of his life. A good choice. That is, not to mention the finger-licking reward he got when he walked into the couple's bedroom that night, right after putting the kids to bed, and found his beautiful wife dressed in a sensual two-piece outfit that oozed all her qualities. Those intense, piercing eyes, kissable lips, not to mention the long, silky pink hair just begging to be grabbed, as well as the light-touch skin and gigantic breasts, and those succulent shapely hips holding up that plump, luscious ass. They weren't easy that night.
Naruto was then awakened from his involuntary thoughts as he turned his attention to the communicator and heard from the sounds that his son was about to start talking.
"It's all right. I just want to know how long will it take you to get back from Super Training, Dad? We miss you so much..." - Hearing his eldest son's voice pause, loaded with so much desire and emotion was enough to assuage some of the negative feelings he had been accumulating in the last few minutes of what should have been a simple planned training trip in advance.
However, he had to hold back a chuckle when he heard 'Super Training' being repeated by the other adorable little voices he knew were surrounding his big brother at the moment or most of the time. The truth was, his kids nicknamed everything these days. And he was the main culprit for that, no doubt, but this was one of the most diverse and endearing points that brought them even closer together as a family and strengthened a bond said to be unbreakable by any other onlooker.
"I've already finished my training, dear son. And I am as close as I am on the way home." - Naruto had to stop when he heard shouts of joy from the other side, but it didn't take long for the sound of something sticky to be heard and the sounds ceased to exist as quickly as they came and inaudible mumbling took their place.
Whatever it was seemed to have been used to quell the celebration, but the pirate father knew better when he just shook his head at the mischief of his gems. He sure knew better.
"And you know, son. In my absence…" - Naruto began with a sharp smile, only to be respectfully interrupted by his eldest son's polite tone.
"I am the man of the house and responsible for keeping all the islands safe, including my mother, my younger brothers and sisters and our people." – the boy who loved sweets completed with a strong voice bringing a huge smile to his father's face who just nodded slightly and responded with a grunt in agreement with the words.
"Then you can continue, Pero-kun." – the black-haired man commented in a paternal voice and calmly waited listening to what was happening on the other side. He knew his firstborn wasn't the only one with news from the not-so-low voices of his other boys and girls who whispered anxiously.
"It's just that I'm fine, and so are my brothers and sisters, so you don't have to worry about that, Papa, but mommy..." - The voice of the boy who was whispering on the other side acquired a low tone as if he were about to tell a very closely guarded secret, then suddenly began to fade when a scream was given by the child.
Rather than being worried about what happened, Naruto just raised his eyebrows again and decided to wait patiently as more screams were heard, followed by others who accompanied the first with sounds of objects being broken.
"Poor animal." – Commented Naruto indifferently, adopting a 'sitting' posture in the air, still hovering with his cape in the wind and looking pitilessly at the transponder snail that was changing madly trying to keep up with the changes in the characters' voices behind the screams.
"Stop it now or I'll feed everyone your dad's favorite food for a whole year!" - A new voice intruded in the middle of all the mess making everyone shut up, while on this side Naruto's smile became more complete and full of life, his black eyes also shone more intensely when he heard the new voice.
"Now, children, go train, eat or play and then each one will have the time to talk to your father, he will not die anytime soon. Am I clear?" - The authority in the woman's voice was unquestionable. It was so potent that the kids on the other side didn't even grumble.
Naruto just kept quiet, deciding to focus on his keen sense of hearing or what his adorable little monsters dubbed 'Super-Hearing' and paid attention to the whispering movements, not that he needed to.
"Husband." – called the voice like silk on the other side of the only woman in the world capable of touching Naruto's heartstrings like a newly created guitar.
"Lin, my sweet queen..." - Naruto began affectionately, but was interrupted.
"Don't talk to me like that, you fool!" - shouted the powerful woman on the other side to sound annoyed, but it went down the drain when the transponder snail's cheeks turned a bright red.
"Roahahahaha! Are you sure, my sweet cake?" - When he finished Naruto laughed more deeply because the poor transponder looked like it had been painted a new color.
"Mamamama! You'll see! I'm just laughing now because I'm going to hang up and when you step foot in our house, I'm going to take 30 years of your life! Stop embarrassing me." - the woman screamed audibly, sounding determined, but the impact was lessened because she was flushed from head to toe.
Amazingly Naruto didn't twitch a muscle at the threat hearing his wife say that.
"Calm down, my queen. That's better?" - Naruto said now with a hoarse voice, staring fixedly at the transponder snail as if he could see through it and look directly into his dear wife's eyes.
"Best now." - He heard the woman's voice calm down and just waited patiently, feeling that she had more to say.
"Damn it. You don't know how much I love you and how much I miss you, Rocks D. Naruto." - The woman known as 'Big Mom' sighed on the other side bringing a small smile, but full of love on the serious face of Naruto who was silent listening to that.
They had been married for over 12 years and that was when they were 18 years old, but the truth is that this flame may have been lit since the creation of the world because it has always been so hot. Heh. He knew her like the back of his hand, because he knew what was coming before it even happened.
"And listen up, you damned flying pirate! Come back soon or you will sleep at the bottom of the sea for the next 37 years!" - shouted Linlin, throwing the snail away right at the door of his room, scaring the hell out of the children who fell on each other, as they futilely tried to sneak up on their mother to talk to their father.
"And I love you, Rocks D. Charlotte Linlin. And I love each of you little ones." – Naruto replied wisely and before he hung up he heard the screaming sound of his children saying 'We love you too, Daddy!' and 'Come back soon so we can train, Papa!' and he grinned fiercely at the last request after the snail transponder closed its eyes, signifying the cut of communication.
He knew that that last unmistakable call, though prominent in this case above the rest, could only have come from one of his sweet sons. Their 2nd son, Katakuri, who was already developing excellent ambition after the events of last year, the kind that trains until every last drop of will is extracted from the spirit.
Naruto, as a father, couldn't be happier to see the rise of his children who he was sure would be able to perform feats once considered unattainable. Perhaps even being able to overcome it in the future if they have a strong will. Something that was indisputable, given his parents, whether in this world and beyond.
"I am coming home." – he added and then immediately went off in a sonic boom instantly flying like a bullet disappearing over the horizon with the only trace remaining being the afterimage he left behind, and the sound of the sound barrier being broken several times.
He was just as fast, but not fast enough to erase his remnant before he was seen.
Unlike Naruto who seemed to have disappeared out of nowhere, the afterimage that was left behind stopped for an indefinite time closing his eyes and was regulating his breath facing the sun. As soon as he had finished, he looked up to the heavens and seemed to be looking directly at the star that shone mightily with the sun's rays bathing the whole earth in its magnificence and granting man what he needed.
The remnant was about to leave when he opened his mouth and seemed to utter something. Words that were carried by the wind and turned into a whisper.
And then with a final serious smile on his face he assumed the motion of someone about to take off, before copying the same motions and darting away into the cloud-clear sky.
"Hito Hito no Mi, Model: KRYPTO (Fruit of the Human, Model: Kryptonian)."- came the whisper of the man's voice being carried by the wind and disappearing as fast as it came.
