Author Message: Besides still working on the plot of the Rwby story, this idea has been floating in my head for the longest time after I saw One Piece: Red. I love the King of the Ocean story but in a way, there are issues with it, and could have been improved upon as well. This story was an idea of either a movie chapter or an actual full story depending on what you all think of it and it was also inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen who became a massive inspiration as well with ideas while flowing Naruto and One Piece together. As for updates, depending on how well may be slow updates but I couldn't resist finally releasing this.

(Where is she?!)
(I'm sorry, but I must inform you that—)
(I'll kill them all, every last one of them.)
—12 YEARS AGO—
"Where…am I?" Spoke a child, who appeared to be a 6-7-year-old who found himself wearing nothing but rags while kneeling on a beach he did not recognize to what looked like a devastating Kingdom.
"What…happened?" His eye widened and touched his face, feeling his right eye not being able to open yet felt something akin to a scar over his eye.
"Why…why—" He froze as his hands reached up to his head, gripping it tightly.
"Who am I…" As he told himself that, the child tried digging into his memories yet the result was a shattered past with flashes that caused his eye to widen as he screamed and fell forward in pain, gripping his hair as he tried pulling it out while the pain didn't go away but increased with more flashes until to finally ends, sweat dripping his face as he took deep breaths before he noticed it, he had mysterious looking cuffs around his wrist with chains appearing to hand from them along with on his ankles. He reaches out and grabs the cuff, due to it being bigger than his wrist he tries to slide it off yet it wouldn't budge past his wrist as if an invisible force prevented it from doing so.
"Come on!" He grunts, trying to force it yet nothing happens and remains in place before he finally gives up and turns towards the ocean before looking around at the massive wreckage of destroyed ships and rubble of houses that had been destroyed.
"What…am I supposed to do?"
"HEY!?" That single shout caused the kid to jolt and turn in confusion, finding but a single girl running towards him and it was with her approaching he could see, clear tears falling from her eyes.
DREAM END
(She likes to giggle a lot, Mom.)
(It means she likes you.)
(But how she doesn't know me.)
(You'll understand one day but remember, as an older brother you have a responsibility to always watch over her.)
(I'll do my best!)
A single ocean-blue eye opens to be greeted by the sight of the sun before sitting up in bed is a blonde-haired man, his hair all over the place before he yawns and brushes his hair back to show a scar over his right eye. The blankets he slept with slide off his body to show his naked abdomen with a scar across his chest, the same position as the scar over his left eye along with the same cuffs he had on since he could remember still stuck on his wrists along with his ankles.
"That dream again." He mutters to himself, a bothered look on his face that instantly disappears upon feeling movement to his left, a smile graced his lips as he turns to find sleeping beauty having been stirred awake, her red and white mix-matched hair that was usually split down the middle was all over the place as a line of drool was seen coming from her mouth.
"Same dream again?" She rubs the sleep out of her eye and he merely just uses his right arm as a headrest.
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter, same dream yet same questions." His smile increases. "Yet it also shows me the day we met."
His words caused her to blush before she looked away now embarrassed.
"Do you have to bring that up?"
"Why, it's the day you gave me purpose or you could say…" He leans down to her ear. "Stole my heart."
He received a light shove before she turned her back to him, arms crossed.
"Don't even think about it, we just woke up." This caused the blonde to laugh a little yet he just hugged her from behind.
"I know, I know…besides I have to get up. After all, we gotta prepare the plan." When he says that, her eyes widen before she frowns as if recalling something unpleasant.
"Naruto, are you sure you want—" His hug tightens around her.
"Uta, this is a better plan than the original." She gave no response. "You wanted to trap innocent people—"
"No!" She all but shouted before realizing she raised her voice. "No…I…I wanted to keep them safe and happy…"
"Yet it's not the real world. There are many who love their lives even if they experience suffering, it just comes with living in this world. Don't forget the main issues are 'them' the pirates that made you suffer so much. If we do things right, not only will a lot of dangerous pirates be removed, it will lead to the Fall of the Four Emperors and in turn the eventual fall of those damn Celestial Dragons." With that said, he lets go of her and gets out of bed to start getting dressed in simple casual wear of jeans and a black and orange jacket with a white t-shirt that had an orange swirl on it.
"When this is all over," He looks back at Uta still in bed. "—" He didn't see her reaction, having turned away before he did and walked out of the room with the door shutting behind him, his expression now grim.
The blonde-haired man was walking down a flight of steps in an unknown location, it was dimly lit yet just enough to show it was pretty wide as each step echoed until he arrived at a door at the bottom, the door appeared normal yet in reality was made of seastone. He knocks a few times in a certain rhythm, and after a few seconds he opens the door to find a large empty room, it is empty until he hears a few footsteps and is soon greeted by a very large and muscular man entering from another room, his hair appeared to be slicked back into a cowlick but a few strands were sticking up. He appeared to be cleaning his hands with a white cloth showing it was now stained red.
"So." As he began he walked past the man who simply followed. "How did it go, Douglas?"
"See for yourself." Was all he said as he stopped at a door Naruto opened it to find one man bound by his arms and just hanging, he was beaten and bruised while appearing barely conscious, the sight of him left Naruto expressionless. His face was covered by a bag, yet still had a few holes to breathe. All he did was approach the man to grab him by the face.
"Kill me."
"Not until you tell me why you and the other tried try to assassinate Uta while we were sleeping peacefully?"
"….…"
With no response, Naruto just frowns deeply.
"He didn't say anything?" He turns to face the larger. "You said you would get answers out of him yet he's still refusing to talk, I need to know what—" He was silenced the moment Douglas showed an irritated look and grabbed Naruto but the scruff of his jacket, lifting him so their face-to-face.
"I'd advise you to watch your tone boy," He all but spat the last part. "I don't take orders from you, I'm only working with you because your plan works in my favor, do not forget you are the one who came to me for my help so know your place."
He drops the blonde to his feet and all he can do is look away finally, anger on his face.
"No, I haven't forgotten…sorry." He quickly apologizes to the one once known as Demon Heir who simply scoffs before they hear a Den Den Mushi in another room which he leaves to answer, walking past him and out the room, leaving himself with the CP0 Agent.
"Everything…is for her." Reaching into his jacket he pulls out something he had found the day he had awoken on the beach, it took the shape of a black dagger that was the length of his hand with the handle wrapped in bandages along with having a ring-like pommel that appeared to have nine small tags hanging from it.
"Sorry." Was the last thing the prisoner heard as the blade of the dagger was plunged into the bag and in turn causing him to go slack. As he watched this happen, Naruto remained emotionless as he turned away and left the room, finding Douglas standing in front of a Den Den Mushi that sat on a desk and had a familiar appearance of someone on its face.
"Is everything set?" The blonde asked and got his response soon after.
[Yes, the plan is all set and the invitations have been all sent out. Even pirates wouldn't turn down the chance to win the grand prize as well as the smaller prizes that still hold a hefty sum, tho it doesn't matter since they'll be dead in the end. The World's Biggest Musical Contest, the winner of this contest will be known as the greatest Musician in the world and be given a One-Hundred Billion, depending on what place you get the lowest will still get you a Billion. I took the liberty to order my Executives to look into the Four Emperors and have confirmed that there are high-ranking members of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates who are singers, I sent invitations to them specifically to gain their involvement.]
"And what of the other pirates such as the worst generation?"
[The On Air Pirates are taken care of since their Captain is a musician, the others tho I have taken the liberty to attract each of them with prizes, money, and food. Tho the Straw Hat Pirates~~]
The moment he heard that, Naruto's eyes just narrowed towards the snail.
[~~are quite simple, they would accept any of them, especially the fact that among their members is a famous Musician called the Soul King, he should have received an invitation by now, all that's left is for you three to arrive and the contest to begin.]
"Good." Douglas said, a smile forming on his face for the battle to come and the devastation that would be left in its wake.
[Do not forget our agreement.]
"I won't." He replied almost immediately, showing a much more serious expression yet there was a glint to his eyes. "But did you follow through with the request I've given you?"
[…yes…]
The tone turned to more irritation.
[Everyone working aboard the ship that was in debt to me, I have waved off all their debts and even gave them compensation, not a single one of them is on board this ship but free now. I rather avoid another confrontation with your 'associate'.]
Hearing that, Douglas merely smiled in amusement as he recalled the state he left the Rich Boy in upon their meeting.
[Notify me by Den Den once you arrive, and I'll have one of my Executives greet you and show you to your rooms.]
*click*
The room was drowned in silence with Douglas just turning around, leaving the room to get ready which left Naruto by himself, staring at the Den Den.
"No turning back now." Muttered the blonde, a grim expression stuck on his face until a single image of Uta, despite having a smile her eyes said it all filled with despair. As he recalled that look on her face, his left hand covered his face with his single eye showing an intense hatred.
"Can't stop, not until she can smile freely in a world without suffering from Pirates or those Celestial Dragons." As he told himself that, he didn't know nor anyone for that matter what would take place during the festival.
—A SINGLE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE A WEEK FROM NOW—
Destruction was everywhere along with flames protruding from the rubble of fallen and collapsed buildings, it was centered around a single area where three individuals stood.
"If not for Kenbunshoku Haki, it wouldn't have ended well for us." Mutters the Captain of the Red-Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors, the man had a serious expression as he gazed at what stood before them.
"Quiet Red-Hair." Spoke the strongest swordsman in the world, his steel gaze remained unbroken as he pointed his sword at the approaching foe who gave off a dangerous presence. "This is no time for pleasantries."
The figure stopped before them and raised both hands, putting them together to create a single has sign.
"I'll kill you all, every last fucking one of you."
