The world.

What a glorious place!

Seek freedom and it will lie stretched out before your eyes.

If the endless dream guides your restless spirit, seize it!

Raise your flag, and stand tall!

The words of one piece zip by to the right while the Straw Hat Jolly Roger comes zipping through on the left strong wings sweep over the as the Going Merry sails through the vast sea the Straw Hat crew running above it aiming towards their dreams.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Sanji grins with a cigarette in his mouth, Nami smiles widely while giving a wink. Zorro gives a grin as he turns showing his left side, Ussop throws up his fist with a toothy grin, Chopper gave a happy smile as he jumped on Kurama's back the fox sharing a smile of his own Naruto runs up with a smile as Luffy holds up his up with a grin.

Luffy jumped into the air throwing out his punches, Naruto jumped into the air before teleporting and throwing his kusarigama, Zorro readied each of his swords before leaping forward. Nami pulled out her climate tact twirling around breaking it into each of its sections causing white smoke along with the red and blue bubbles to form a storm cloud in the sky shooting off a bolt lighting towards a terrified Ussop running for his life only to quickly compose himself giving a grin as he sat atop a cannon lighting the fuse shooting off a cannonball towards a nearby island. Chopper soars in the sky in his muscle form swiftly shifting to his reindeer form to his Regular form to going into point guard landing in the kitchen as Sanji bounced him on his foot lightly bouncing him up landing on the cooks head holding up plates on his arm catching cutlets of meat on his plates just as the two of them were about to trip Kurama caught them with some vines from his mouth.

The group throw up their hands up towards the sky zooming out to show the vast ocean towards the large sky as a map forms showing the title.

(Fly away glum blue sea)

The Going Merry sails through the ocean seagulls flying through the air. Naruto sits on the crows nest gazing at the sky as Luffy, Chopper and Nami gaze at the horizon.

(Fly away glum blue sky)

Crashing waves erupt as a storm surges Naruto, Ussop, and Sanji pull hard on rope to steady the ship while a panicking Chopper sits on Zoro's head pulling on his ears while Kurama sighs at this

The Merry sails along the side of a massive wave, Luffy and Naruto call out to Nami and rush out to look off into the horizon as they watch the sun slowly beginning to rise as the straw hats look on with excitement. A dolphin swims through the sea jumping and splashing about, Ussop tosses out a fish line as Luffy looks on with a hungry grin as Zorro lifts his weights. The dolphin jumps above the Merry revealing its gigantic body crashing into the water, the shock sending the marry and the Straw Hats flying in an unknown direction but Luffy had a wide grin on his face. The Straw Hat flag waves proudly as the crew looks off towards the unknown ready for their next adventure.

(With the crew)

It was a little later and while Nami was resting upstairs, Chopper was interacting with the others, while they made plans for what to do next.

Currently, Naruto was walking around the castle, seeing if there was anything to see in the castle.

As he did this, he spotted Kureha and Dalton down below, talking in front of a big door, before he appeared behind them.

"Hey Dalton, hey Baa Chan. What's going - oi!" Naruto was asking, before he ducked as Kureha threw a spiked mace at him, which smashed into a wall.

"I told you not to Baa Chan me, you little brat!!" Kureha yelled, as she pulled out a battle ax, before throwing it at Naruto.

"I say it with respect to you, you mad battle ax!" Naruto yelled out, as he dodged the thrown weapon.

"Kureha, are you sure you don't have a key to this door?" Dalton asked, as he looked at the mad witch.

"I already told you no, Dalton. Now let me kill this little brat!" Kureha said with a shake at Dalton, before she went back to attacking Naruto.

"What's so special about this door, anyway?" Naruto asked them, as he looked at it with a raised eyebrow

"It holds all of Wapol's weapons, which could help us keep the kingdom safe, if pirates like the ones that attacked us show up again," Dalton said.

"Ah. Too bad I didn't steal from the fat boy after I wasted his two henchmen" Naruto said, as he snapped his fingers at the missed opportunity.

"Hang on, you actually beat Chess and Kuromarimo?" Dalton asked in shock, his eyes slightly widening at this.

"Well, I fought dirty, but it's not like they didn't have it coming. Anyway, I can probably get in there, but it's gonna cost you" Naruto said with a grin.

"Knew you were a pirate" Kureha said with a scoff at this.

"Oh, relax. All it's gonna cost you is letting us leave early and calling us even for our treatment" Naruto said, as he looked at the old witch.

"…..feh, fine. Let's see if you can get in there first" Kureha said as she scoffed, not believing that Naruto could do it.

"Indeed. The door is very well made" Dalton said, as he nodded at this.

Naruto ignored this, as he approached the door and inspected it for a few moments. "Ah ha!" he said as he smiled, seeing a crack in between the doors.

"What's the big deal, brat?" Kureha asked, as Naruto put his face to the door and looked through the crack.

"Heh, just watch Baa Chan" Naruto said with a smile, before he disappeared in a puff of smoke, just before Kureha smashed a mace against the door, missing him.

"Where did you go, you little brat?!" Kureha yelled, as she looked around in a rage.

As she said this, they heard what sounded like a lock opening on the other side of the doors.

"And open sesame," Naruto said, as he pushed the doors open and smiled at them.

"Ah, I see. You can teleport to wherever you can see. So you just teleported inside and unlocked it from the other side" Dalton said as he nodded in understanding, as the others had explained his Devil Fruit to him.

"Exactly. So, do we have a deal, Baa cha - hey!" Naruto was asking, before he teleported a little bit away from Kureha, who took a swing at him with her knives.

"Just get your girlfriend and get out of my sight!" Kureha yelled, as she glared at Naruto.

"G-girlfriend? Did you miss your medication time Baa Cha - gah! OK! I'm going, I'm going!" Naruto stuttered with a blush, before he ran avoiding more thrown knives from the mad witch

(With Nami)

Nami groaned as she sat up in her bed, as she had trouble sleeping, thanks to Kureha's yelling.

"Hey Nami, are you doing ok?" Naruto asked, as he entered her room.

"I swear, her yelling is giving me a headache" Nami said, as she held her head, before she froze as Naruto put his hand to her forehead.

"Hmmm. Well, your fever is down at least, which is good" Naruto said.

"Y-yea. I should be good to go soon" Nami said, as she slapped Naruto's hand away, making him chuckle.

"Well, I got some good news. I made a deal to pay off Baa Chan and we can leave early, which is good, seeing as Chopper decided to join us after all" Naruto said with a smile at Nami.

"Really? I'm surprised he joined so easily" Nami said, as she raised an eyebrow inquisitively.

"Well, the others were pretty welcoming. Especially Kurama" Naruto said, as he shook his head.

"Come again?" Nami asked with a raised eyebrow, not believing this.

"Oh yea, get this, Chopper can understand animals. So Kurama told him he's gonna depend on him to translate for him from now on" Naruto said, as he chuckled.

"Oh. Well, that's a good skill to have. It will probably help a lot on our adventures" Nami said, as she could see that being useful.

"Yea, when he's not telling Sanji Kurama is calling him a skirt chasing cuck" Naruto said with a snort.

"Pfffft!" Nami said, as she covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Naruto laughed at this along with the orangette. "Ok, let's get you out to the others" he said, as he approached a coat hanging on the rack and took it.

"Stealing from the doctor who saved me, whiskers?" Nami asked curiously, as she got up out of bed.

"Pirate. Plus, you need it more, so here" Naruto said, as he helped her put on the coat.

"I don't need your help putting on a coat. I'm not helpless anymore" Nami said, as she put on the coat.

"What can I say, I worry about my friends," Naruto said, as he shrugged.

"Oh…..right" Nami said as she bundled herself up, as she realized that she wasn't special to Naruto. "Why am I disappointed?" she thought, as she slightly frowned.

Suddenly they all heard what sounded like Kureha yelling outside.

"What do you mean you are leaving?!" Kureha was heard yelling, before Chopper was heard screaming in terror.

"Oh boy, that doesn't sound good," Nami said, as she winced at how loud Kureha was being.

"Nope, it doesn't. We better get going" Naruto said, as he approached Nami and scooped her up into his arms, bridal style.

"H-hey!" Nami yelled, as she slightly blushed in surprise, as Naruto approached the window and looked out of it, before they were gone in a puff of smoke.

(Outside)

Everyone was outside waiting for Chopper to get back from telling Kureha that he was joining the crew.

"Sounds like she's not taking it well," Sanji said, as he smoked a cigarette.

Kurama gave Sanji a look that pretty much said 'no kidding' as the yelling was getting closer and soon, they all saw Chopper in his reindeer form running towards them, dragging a sleigh behind him.

"Everyone get in!" Chopper yelled, as he ran towards them.

"Wait! What about Naruto and Nami?" Usopp yelled.

"Yea, we can't leave without Nami swan!" Sanji yelled out.

"And Naruto?" Zoro asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"Eh. I can take or leave - yowch!" Sanji was saying, before Kurama bit him on the leg.

"We're here!" Naruto yelled, as he appeared in the sleigh and put Nami down, before sitting next to her, as it quickly approached the rest of the crew.

"Everyone on!" Luffy yelled, before he jumped onto the sleigh along with everyone else, as Chopper ran from Kureha, who was throwing all kinds of weapons at them.

"Wow, she can't aim at all, can she?" Luffy asked, as the thrown weapons flew past them.

Zoro scoffed at this, as he could tell that the thrown weapons weren't missing them because of lack of skill.

"Yea. Baa Chan's eyes must be getting worse - gah!" Naruto was saying with a chuckle, before a bottle smashed into the back of his head, causing him to fall and rest his head on Nami's lap.

"Idiot" Nami said with a sigh, as she shook her head at this.

"GET YOU HEAD OFF NAMI SWAN'S LAP!" Sanji yelled at Naruto, as Chopper ran down the rope bridge.

"Only if Nami wants me to," Naruto said with a dismissive wave of his hand, as he held the lump on his head.

"…..he's fine, Sanji" Nami said with a dismissive tone, causing Sanji's jaw to drop in shock.

Kurama raised an eyebrow at this, before he started to snicker knowingly.

(A little later)

A little bit later, the crew had made it down the mountain and were now making their way towards the docks, where the Going Merry was waiting for them, when they heard what sounded like cannon fire going off.

"Eh, is that psycho firing on us now?" Usopp asked, as he looked up at the mountain, where it looked like a bunch of cannons around the edge of the mountain sides had just fired into the air.

"It looks like they are just firing into the air," Vivi said, as she looked up at the sky.

Soon, the snow changed color from white to pink and it started to snow pink snowflakes.

"Wow, so cool!" Luffy said with a smile, as he looked up at the sky, along with the rest of the crew.

Naruto and Nami smiled at this, as they recalled what Doctrine told them about Hiriluk's dream of making cherry blossoms bloom in this kingdom.

"Heh, looks like Baa Chan had a goodbye prepared for you" Naruto said, as he looked at Chopper, who was crying

"DOCTRINE!!" Chopper cried out as tears fell from his eyes, as he looked at the pink covered sky over the mountain, which looked like a large cherry blossom tree.

Everyone was silent at this, as they let Chopper cry for a few moments, before they left for the Going Merry.

Soon, Chopper calmed down and they were all making their way to the docks.

Kurama, who was sitting on Naruto's shoulder, barked at Chopper.

"Yea, I'm OK now" Chopper said, as he wiped his eyes

"Welcome to the Going Merry, Chopper" Luffy said, as he and Usopp jumped onto the ship and spread their arms out.

Chopper smiled at this, as he joined them on the ship.

"OK, everyone, let's get ready to go. Zoro, pull up the anchor. Usopp, Luffy get the sails ready" Nami said, as she barked orders.

"Ah, I almost missed you screeching orders - hey!" Naruto was saying, before he ducked, avoiding a swipe at his head from Nami.

"And you! Help Sanji get everything secure for cast off!" Nami yelled at Naruto.

"Yes dear" Naruto said with an exaggerated feeble voice, as he went to go help Sanji.

"Uh, are they dating?" Chopper asked with a raised eyebrow.

Kurama shook his head at this and barked.

"What's a denial phase?" Chopper asked curiously.

"We are not in denial! And stop teaching him that kind of crap, fur ball!" Nami yelled at Kurama, as she shook a fist at him

Kurama blew a raspberry at this, obviously not intimidated by Nami's yelling.

"What happened to Karoo?" Vivi asked, as she spotted Karoo laying on the deck of the ship, shivering and covered in ice.

"Oh. I found him in the water and had to fish him out" Zoro said as he shrugged.

Karoo shook his head at this, as he quacked a few times while pointing at Zoro.

"He said Zoro was swimming and didn't come up for air, so he dived in to save him" Chopper said.

"You idiot!" Vivi yelled, as she hit Zoro on the back of the head.

"Hey, I was training!" Zoro yelled out.

"Ah! I forgot my supply bag!" Chopper yelled in a panic.

"You mean this thing?" Usopp asked, as he held up a small blue bag.

"Where did you get that?" Chopper asked, as he took the bag.

"Oh, I found it in the back of the sleigh. I thought that you'd put it there" Usopp said.

Chopper's eyes widened at this, before he looked at the bag.

"Looks like Kureha knew what you were thinking and wanted to make sure you had what you would need" Nami said with a smile at Chopper.

"OK crew! Let's celebrate our new crewmate with a toast!" Luffy yelled, as he held up some mugs, while Usopp rolled over a barrel of ale.

"Cheers!" everyone yelled, as they each took a mug and took a drink, as the ship set sail away from Drum Island to continue their journey.

(A few days later)

Everyone was hanging out on the deck of the ship. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were fishing over the side of the ship, Zoro was working out, Sanji was in the kitchen, Nami and Vivi were up on the second floor of the ship looming over the Eternal Pose to Alabasta.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Kurama were up In the crows nest, keeping a lookout.

"OK, which of you idiots swiped food from my kitchen?!" Sanji yelled, as he came out of the kitchen.

"Not me" Naruto said, as he looked through his telescope, seeing if there was anything around.

"Wasn't me" Zoro said, as he was doing handstands, while balancing weights on his feet.

"Luffy, come here" Sanji said with a firm look, as the captain looked away from him nervously.

"What's up?" Luffy asked, as he approached.

"How is it that the food I portioned out for our journey to Alabasta is suddenly gone?" Sanji asked as he got into Luffy's face.

"Uh, maybe some mice came aboard and ate some of the food?" Luffy asked with a nervous smile.

"You know, if you're gonna lie, you should do it while looking him in the eye," Naruto said, as he appeared on deck in a puff of smoke.

"It wasn't me! I swear!" Luffy yelled out.

"Hmmmm. Ok then. Oh, you have something on your face" Sanji said, as he pointed at Luffy's face.

"Ah! I forgot to eat the crumbs!" Luffy yelled in a panic, as he wiped his mouth.

"I knew it!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Luffy, sending him down the deck of the ship and crashing into some barrels.

Naruto and Kurama both held up signs with the number 8 on them at this.

"What's with the numbers?" Usopp asked curiously, as he looked over.

"It's Sanji's score on the distance he got for kicking Luffy," Naruto said.

"Why'd you both give me an 8?" Sanji asked them.

"He didn't break through all the breaks. He only broke through one" Naruto said, while Kurama nodded at this.

"Bah. Nami Swan, can we get a fridge with a seastone lock?" Sanji said to Nami after scoffing at Naruto

"Hmmmm. It might be a matter of survival" Nami said, as she looked at Usopp and Chopper, who were still fishing.

"Don't worry, we are on it!" Usopp yelled as he swallowed, while he and Chopper were finishing eating some food they had helped Luffy swipe.

"Any bites? Sanji asked, as he approached them, making them stiffen up nervously.

"Uh, nothing yet," Chopper said with a nervous tone of voice.

"But we're not giving up," Usopp said, as he kept looking out at sea.

"Good, keep it up. Oh and one more thing…." Sanji said with a smile, as he grabbed the sniper and doctor by their heads, before….

BONK!

He slammed their heads together, causing them to groan, as they fell to the deck with lumps on their heads, while Sanji went back into the kitchen.

"Hey, has anyone seen Karoo? I was planning on giving him a brush" Vivi said, as she looked around the deck.

"I think he was helping the moron patrol with fishing," Naruto said as he pointed at Luffy, Chopper and Usopp, who were back to fishing.

Kurama snickered at this, as Vivi approached the three.

"Hey, have you guys seen - what are you doing?!" Vivi was asking them, before she spotted Karoo, who was tied to the end of Luffy's fishing pole.

"We thought he would make good bait," Luffy said with a grin.

"Why?!" Vivi yelled at him.

"Cause Kurama bit me when I asked him to he bait" Luffy said matter of factly.

"Get Karoo back on deck!" Vivi yelled, her teeth going sharp at this.

"And do it quickly. We are coming up on a bunch of steam" Naruto said, as he pointed ahead.

"What's a bunch of steam doing out at sea?" Chopper asked Nami.

"It's from an underwater volcano, which will become an island in a thousand years or so," Nami said, as she smiled at Chopper.

Soon, the Going Merry had entered the steam and minutes later, the ship had made it through the steam

"Hey, I think I caught something!" Luffy yelled with a grin, as his fishing line was moving.

"I thought I told you to get Karoo back on the ship!" Vivi yelled at Luffy, as she went to attack Luffy, but stopped, as they all saw what Luffy had caught.

It was a man hugging Karoo. He was wearing a flamboyant ballet outfit, with stockings and ballerina shoes, with two swan heads on his shoulders.

"Ah! Help me!" the man yelled in surprise, causing him to fall into the ocean.

Moments later, Zoro had saved the man and brought him onto the ship.

"Thank you all so much. Can I bother you for some hot soup?" the man asked them with a smile

"Forget it! We can't even feed ourselves!" Nami yelled at the man.

The man then looked at Vivi who was looking down at them from the second floor. Oh wow you're just my type! he said with a smile and a wink at Vivi who shuddered at this

"Hey, why couldn't you swim? Did you forget how to or something?" Luffy asked the man curiously.

"I'm afraid not. You see, I ate a Devil Fruit, so I can't swim, not even a little bit" the man said, as he shook his head at this

"Oh? What kind?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Show us! Show us!" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper cheered excitedly.

"Well, seeing as it will take a little bit for my crew to pick me up, I don't see the harm in having a little fun. Behold my power!" the man said as he stood up and smiled at everyone…..before he slugged Luffy in the face, sending him flying into the cabin wall.

"Hey!" Naruto yelled, as he took out his kusarigama.

"What's your game?!" Zoro yelled, as he grabbed one of his Katanas handles.

"Woah, hold on!" the man said as he held out his hands, but his voice was now different and the exact same as Luffy, along with the rest of his body

"EEEEHHHH?!" everyone yelled out in shock.

"That's me!" Luffy yelled out, as he pointed at the man.

"Behold; with one hand, I can change my form and with the other I can change back!" the man said, as he touched his face and turned back to normal.

"Wow!" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper yelled together.

"And that's not all. For every person I touch with my hand, I can store their faces away for later" the man said, as he touched Usopp, Chopper, Zoro, Nami and Naruto, before switching between each of them, showing off his power.

"Huh, did expect to see myself in a ballerina outfit" Naruto said with a shrug.

"I can even imitate anyone's body too" the man said, as he looked like Nami, before taking the top part of his outfit off.

This caused various reactions from everyone: Luffy and Usopp both did a spit take, Zoro had a look of disinterest, Chopper tilted his head with a curious look, while Kurama wolf whistled.

Naruto however, his eyes widened at this, before he blushed and his nose started to bleed and he fell over, slamming onto the deck of the ship

"KNOCK IT OFF!!" Nami screamed with shark-like teeth, as she slammed her fist into the man's head, sending him into the deck.

"More! Show us more!" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper yelled out excitedly.

"Well, if you insist, my new friends," the man said, as he changed into multiple faces.

After the man switched forms for a bit, Vivi's eyes widened at a form the man took, but she said nothing.

"Sir!" a man yelled out, as a ship with a sawn theme approached the Going Merry.

"Ah, that's my ship" the man said, as he turned back to normal and jumped onto the railing of the ship.

"Aw, are you leaving?" Luffy asked as he frowned.

"Don't worry, my friends. While our meeting was brief, rest assured that we will always be friends!" the man said with a smile, as he gave them a thumbs up, before he jumped over to his ship.

"Goodbye swan guy!" Luffy yelled, as he waved at the man, along with Usopp and Chopper.

"Well men, let's get going" the man yelled, as he stood on the railing of his ship.

"Yes sir, Mr 2 Bon Clay sir!" his crew yelled out, as the ships sailed away from each other.

"……WHAT?!?!" the crew all yelled together at this reveal.

"Oh yeah. I forgot Mr 2 was a man who dresses as a ballerina" Vivi said, as she covered her mouth in shock.

Kurama barked at Vivi at this, obviously not amused at this.

"Is it a thing where all royals are somewhat retarded?!" Chopper yelled, translating for Kurama.

"Hey!" Vivi yelled, obviously not amused with this insult.

"Ladies, I bought you all something nice to - hey, what's with all the doom and gloom?" Sanji was saying with a smile, as he carried some food and drinks on a tray, before he looked at everyone.

"Kurama called Vivi retarded" Usopp said, as he took a drink from Sanji.

"I'LL SKIN YOU AND TURN YOU INTO A RUG!" Sanji yelled at Kurama, who barked at him.

"Bring it on!" Chopper yelled, translating for the fox, before going back to his own drink.

"Will you both shut up?! We have a problem to discuss and someone wake that idiot up!" Nami yelled as she pointed at Naruto, who was still on the deck of the ship passed out, his nose bleeding.

"I'll do it! Naruto, there's ramen!" Luffy yelled with a smile, as he looked up from his drink.

"WHERE?!" Naruto shouted, as he jumped to his feet, before looking around, as everyone started to laugh at this.

(One explanation later)

"Huh, so this Mr 2 didn't know who we were, huh?" Sanji asked, as he passed out drinks to everyone.

"It was crazy. He could turn into any of us, voice and all" Usopp said, as he finished his drink.

"Don't remind me," Naruto grumbled, as he drank his drink.

Kurama snickered at this, before he barked at Naruto.

"You liked what ya saw, didn't you?" Chopper said, translating for the fox.

Nami looked up at this and glared at Naruto, fire in her eyes.

"…….I refuse to answer, as that's a loaded question" Naruto said, deciding not to reply.

"Wait, you actually saw Nami swan's…." Sanji was saying, as his eyes widened.

"To be fair, everyone here saw it," Naruto said with a shrug.

"Yea, but only you fainted" Zoro said with a firm tone, as he lifted some weights, while sitting on a barrel.

"……thank you, Zoro," Naruto said with a groan as Luffy, Usopp, Karoo and Kurama laughed at him.

"Walk it off, blondie," Zoro said with a chuckle at Naruto's response.

"Whatever" Naruto said as he sighed, and tried to think of something else.

(Later)

It was a little later and Chopper was in the dining room/kitchen, sitting at the table eating from a bowl.

"Hey Chopper, what are you eating?" Luffy asked, as he and Usopp entered the room.

"I was looking through the fridge for any food that may be left and I found this bowl of soup, hidden in the back of the fridge" Chopper said with a smile, after he finished slurping up some noodles.

"Wait, you ate Naruto's ramen?!" Usopp yelled in a panic.

"This is ramen? It's pretty good" Chopper said with a smile, as he drank the broth.

"Quick, hide!" Usopp yelled, as he looked around for a place to hide.

"Er, why?" Chopper asked curiously.

"Naruto really likes his ramen. I remember when one of Shanks crew ate his ramen, he ended up pranking him for two weeks straight" Luffy said with a smile at the memory

"And that's before he became a pirate! Who knows what he will do now!" Usopp yelled in a panic.

Chopper paled at this, but before he could respond, Naruto entered the room with Kurama close behind

He then approached the table and paused, as he saw the empty bowl of ramen. "…..who ate my ramen?" he asked, as he looked at Luffy, Usopp and Chopper.

"AAHH! Please don't kill me!" Chopper yelled in a panic.

"…….eh, it's OK," Naruto said, as he shrugged at this.

"Eh? You're not mad?" Luffy asked curiously, as he tilted his head to the side.

"Yea, I thought you were gonna do something to Chopper" Usopp said, as he sighed in relief.

"Oh, I am. But I decided that I can only get mad at certain times, as it helps me stay mellow" Naruto said casually, as he took the bowl and put it in the sink.

"Huh? So when can you get mad?" Chopper asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, now's not the time. But I'll let you know" Naruto said with a friendly smile at the reindeer.

Chopper smiled nervously at this.

"You are in my prayers, little buddy" Usopp said, as he and Luffy put their hands together in prayer, while Kurama snickered at this.

(Later)

It was hours later and after making a plan to deal with Mr 2's powers, everyone was hanging out on the deck of the ship, trying to pass the time.

"Hey, have you spotted anything yet, whiskers?" Nami yelled up at Naruto, who was in the crows nest with his telescope, along with Kurama.

"Nothing yet! Though I think I spotted a giant sea cat! Is that a thing?" Naruto yelled, as he looked through his telescope and pointed out to sea.

"Really, where?" Nami asked.

"Right there," Naruto said as he pointed forward, as what looked like a giant sea cat came out of the sea and looked down at them curiously.

"Don't let it get away! I can fry it up!" Sanji yelled as he ran over.

"I'll slice it into pieces!" Zoro yelled, as he got ready to draw his katanas.

"Meat for me!" Luffy yelled with a manic look on his face.

"Stop!" Vivi yelled, as she smacked all three of them with a broomstick, sending them to the floor.

The sea cat quickly dived into the sea at this, as it wasn't gonna argue with an opportunity to escape

"Vivi, why'd you stop us?" Luffy asked her with a whine.

"It was food," Sanji said, as he rubbed his head.

"Damn woman" Zoro said, as he scowled at Vivi.

"Sea cats are sacred around here. And seeing one means that we're near Alabasta" Vivi said, as she leaned against the broomstick.

"Yea, I'm with Vivi. That thing was way too smart to eat. It would be like eating Kurama or Chopper" Naruto said, as he appeared on deck in a puff of smoke.

Luffy whined as he bit down on the railing of the ship and tears ran down his face.

"Wow, there are so many different types of sea creatures out at sea" Chopper said, as he looked at where the Sea Cat had been, before it fled.

"That's nothing. Let me regale you with my adventure in the Calm Belt, when I encountered the Sea Kings there" Usopp said with a smile.

Kurama blew a raspberry at this, showing he didn't want to hear this.

"Don't worry Luffy, we will be in Nanohana soon. You can eat when we get there" Vivi said with a smile, as she patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"Hey, I see seagulls," Naruto said, as he pointed up in the sky.

"That means we're close to shore," Nami said with a smile at this.

Soon, a massive desert continent came into view, along with a port town and some docks.

"Finally. Our long journey is over" Naruto said, as Kurama jumped onto his shoulder.

"Hey, that's Mr 3's ship" Vivi said, as she spotted a ship that looked to be made of wax.

"And there's a marine ship here, too," Zoro said, as he pointed at a marine ship that was docked nearby.

"Ah crap, that's not good," Naruto said with a scowl.

After they had docked the Going Merry, everyone had gotten off the ship.

"OK, while we are here, we all need to keep a low profile," Vivi said to everyone.

"Right. Sanji, you get food and clothes for everyone, while the rest of us stay out of sight" Nami said.

"Of course Nami Swan! Chopper, you come with me to help haul everything" Sanji said to Nami, before he looked at Chopper, who nodded and turned into his reindeer form, before following him.

"Just make sure he doesn't carry everything, otherwise he might get too tired, since we're in a desert and reindeer's aren't meant for the desert" Naruto yelled after them.

"Uh, where's Luffy?" Usopp asked, as he looked around.

"FOOD!" Luffy yelled, as he ran down the street.

"Ah hell" Zoro said with a groan at this.

"That idiot," Nami said, as she scowled in annoyance.

"Don't worry, I'll get him," Naruto said, before running after Luffy, with Kurama on his head.

After spending some time looking for any sign of him, Naruto spotted Luffy running out of a restaurant with his cheeks bulging, thanks to all the food he ate.

Which made sense, seeing as Naruto spotted Smoker and Sasuke chasing after him.

"Dammit Luffy! You call this lying low?!" Naruto yelled, as he ran alongside him.

"Sorry. I didn't expect the smoke and bird guy to be here!" Luffy yelled, after he swallowed his food.

"You're not getting away, Straw Hat. White Snake!" Smoker yelled, as he fired a long snake of dense smoke at them.

Naruto scowled as he went to grab Luffy to teleport them, but before he could…..

"Heat Haze" a voice yelled out, before a blast of fire collided with Smoker's attack.

"Huh?" Luffy said as he, Naruto and Kurama looked behind them, seeing what looked like a man made of fire blocking the marines path to them.

The man wore an orange hat, no shirt, had a small bag slung over his shoulder and wore black pants with black boots.

"Still getting into trouble, eh Luffy?" the man asked with a smile on his face.

"I-is that you Ace?" Luffy asked with wide eyes

"Yea, it's me. Did you get my message on Drum Kingdom?" Ace asked, as he looked slightly over his shoulder at them.

"Wait, you left a message?" Luffy asked curiously.

"Sorry Ace, we were in a rush while there and didn't think to mingle with the townsfolk" Naruto said as he waved.

"Is that Naruto and Kurama? Looks like you actually went through with going with Luffy, instead of joining your gramps, eh?" Ace asked with a smile.

"Well, Luffy needs someone to watch his back," Naruto said with a smile, while Kurama barked at Ace in greeting.

Ace laughed at this, as he nodded, before he looked at the marines. "You guys get back to your crew, while I cover you" he said with a firm tone.

"Got it. Ok, let's go" Naruto said, as he placed his hand on Luffy's shoulder.

"See you later, Ace!" Luffy yelled with a smile before he, Naruto and Kurama were gone in a puff of smoke.

"Fire Fist Ace, 2nd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked with a scowl.

"And why did you save Straw Hat and Ghost?" Smoker asked, as he held his jitte.

"Well, Luffy is my little brother and Naruto is an old buddy of mine, from back when we were kids" Ace said with a grin.

This caused all the marines listening to gasp in shock.

"Here's your brother, huh? Interesting" Smoker said with a firm look.

"Get out of my way!" Sasuke yelled, as he switched to his half Tengu form and flew at Ace, his Naginata raised and ready.

Ace smiled at this, as he activated his power and flames flew from his body.

(With the others)

Meanwhile with the others, they were waiting behind some crates eating some food in their new clothes.

The guys were in some robes, which covered most of their bodies, while the ladies…..

"This is beautiful!" Nami said with a smile, as she moved around, looking at her new outfit, which was a harem dancer's outfit.

"But it's not really suitable for the desert, Sanji" Vivi said with a nervous chuckle, as she looked at Sanji, while wearing her own version of Nami's outfit.

Before Sanji could respond Naruto, Luffy and Kurama appeared next to them in a puff of smoke.

"Let me guess, he drew attention to himself?" Zoro asked with a flat tone of voice.

"No. He was subtle while he raided a restaurant of its food and ran out with marines behind him, which included Smoker and Sasuke" Naruto said with a sarcastic tone.

"We need to get out of here!" Usopp yelled in a panic, as they all grabbed the supplies they'd bought.

"Let's go!" Nami yelled, as she and Vivi ran towards the docks.

"Woah. What's with the outfit?" Naruto asked, as he saw what Nami was wearing.

"What? It's cute!" Nami said, as she looked back at Naruto.

"Oh absolutely, but it's not practical in the desert," Naruto said as they ran.

As they were running, what looked like a massive amount of smoke and fire shot into the sky behind them, getting everyone in town's attention.

"What's going on back there?" Zoro asked Naruto and Luffy.

"Oh, an old friend of ours is distracting the marines, while we escape. Luffy, that's the wrong way!" Naruto was saying before even spotted Luffy running down an alleyway, while he was running backwards, so he could see the smoke and fire.

Kurama opened his mouth and shot some vines at Luffy, which grabbed him and started to drag him behind them.

"Ow! Ow! Oi, let me go! This hurts! Ouch!" Luffy yelled, as he was dragged along.

Soon they arrived back at the Going Merry and started to get on the ship/

"Wait, we're leaving already?" Luffy asked as everyone got on the ship, while also getting their supplies loaded onto the ship.

"We are gonna go down a ways, before we go into the desert propper" Vivi said, while Zoro pulled up the anchor.

Soon the ship was going out to sea, with everyone standing around.

"So, who was it that helped you guys?" Nami asked curiously.

"Oh, it was my brother, Ace," Luffy said with a smile.

"Wait, you have a brother?!" the whole crew, besides Naruto, yelled out surprised at this reveal.

"It was kinda crazy to see Ace again. Huh, Luffy?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Yea. It's too bad that I didn't get to spar with him and prove I'm the stronger of us" Luffy said with a grin, as he leaned against the railing.

"Who are you stronger then?" Ace asked, as he jumped onto the railing of the ship behind Luffy, causing him to yell in surprise.

"Ace!" Luffy yelled happily at seeing his brother.

"So this is your crew, huh? Nice to meet you all" Ace said, as he looked at them with a grin.

"Same to you" everyone said, as they nodded in respect.

"So Luffy, Naruto, how would you and your crew like to join Whitebeard's crew?" Ace asked with a smile.

This caused everyone's eyes to bug out in shock.

"W-whitebeard?" Usopp asked nervously.

"Yup, that's the crew I'm a part of. This is his mark, my pride. I'm gonna make him King of the Pirates, not you Luffy" Ace said, as he turned around and showed them the tattoo on his back.

"Eh, no thanks. I'll just beat this Whitebeard and you if you get in my way" Luffy said with a shake of his head.

"Hahahahahaha! Yea, I figured that would be your reaction, but I had to try at least" Ace said, as he looked at them

"If you want to stay and catch up a bit, I can make some tea," Sanji said. as he took a drag off his cigarette.

"No thanks. I'm just here to catch up with Luffy and Naruto, before I get back to my mission. See, I'm looking for a pirate named Blackbeard" Ace said.

"Why's that?" Naruto asked curiously.

"He's an old crewmate, who broke a major rule on the old man's crew: he killed a crewmate and then ran off. So seeing as he was under my command, it's my job to deal with him" Ace said with a firm tone.

"Why'd he kill a crewmate?" Zoro asked curiously, as he crossed his arms.

"No idea and I don't really care," Ace said firmly.

"Guys, we have a problem!" Usopp yelled as he pointed out at sea, where there were a bunch of ships that had the Baroque Works logo on their sails.

"It's the Millions! They must be here to stop us!" Vivi said, as she frowned in worry.

"I'll deal with them while I leave. But before I go, here Luffy" Ace said, as he handed Luffy a piece of paper.

"What is it?" Luffy asked, as he looked at the paper curiously.

"It's something that will make it so we meet up again" Ace said with a smile, before he jumped off the ship.

Everyone ran over and looked over the railing and saw Ace on what looked like a mini boat, which he seemed to be powering with his flame powers.

He then sailed at the Millions ships fast and when he got close enough, he jumped high into the air, turning into fire so he flew over all the ship's. As he did this, his mini boat went underwater, but when Ace made it to the other side of all the Millions ships, his mini boat came back up to catch him and when he landed…..

"Fire Fist!" Ace yelled out, as he punched at the ships, causing a large blast of fire to be sent flying at them, which tore through all the ships, destroying them.

"H-he roasted them!" Usopp yelled out in shock.

"That's what a Whitebeard commander can do" Zoro said with an impressed look on his face, while the ship's all sank into the sea.

As this happened, Ace waved at them, as he sailed away and out to sea.

"Bye Ace!" Luffy yelled, as he waved at Ace, along with Naruto and Kurama.

"Wow. Your brother is actually capable" Zoro said, as they all watched Ace head out to sea.

"He has his own goofy moments. The guy falls asleep randomly at the worst times" Naruto said with a grin, along with Luffy at the memory.

"OK, so to recap; the plan is to head up the Sandora River, and then head for Yuba Oasis, where the rebels are, so we can try and end this before it gets any worse," Vivi said, as the ship made its way up said river.

"Sounds good. Hey Sanji, you got me and Luffy desert robes too, right?" Naruto asked as he nodded at Vivi, before he looked at the cook.

"Yea, here" Sanji said, as he threw said robes at the two of them, which they caught.

Soon the ship was parked in front of the open desert and laid anchor, so they could get off.

"OK. Now, before we go, Karoo, I have a mission for you" Vivi said, as she approached her duck companion.

"Quack?" Karoo asked, as he tilted his head to the side curiously.

"I need you to take this letter to my father, right away" Vivi said, as she gave him a letter and a mini barrel of water, which she put around his neck.

"Quack!" Karoo said as he saluted Vivi, before he jumped off the ship and ran out into the desert.

Before stopping to take a drink of water.

"Oi! Conserve your water!" Vivi yelled out angrily, causing Karoo to take off running again.

"OK crew, let's get going!" Luffy yelled, as he held out his arms, while wearing his new desert robes.

"Yea. The sooner we meet up with the rebels, the sooner we can end this nonsense" Naruto said, as he nodded at this.

Everyone nodded at this, as they all got ready to get off the ship. But paused, as they saw what looked like a bunch of seals with turtle shells on their backs, on the shore, blocking their way.

"Oh no! It's a bunch of Kung Fu Dugongs!" Vivi said, shocked at seeing them.

"What's their problem?" Nami asked Chopper, as the dugongs barked at them.

"They are saying that this is their territory and that if we want to pass, we need to beat them," Chopper said, translating what they were saying.

"Why didn't they attack Karoo?" Sanji asked with a raised eyebrow, as he took a drag of his cigarette.

This got barks from the dugongs, who looked annoyed at this.

"Mind your business, one eye!" Chopper yelled, translating for the dugongs.

This got a laugh from Zoro, while Sanji's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"I'll challenge you! This should be easy!" Ussop said with a confident grin, as he jumped down towards the dugongs.

Before he was thrown back onto the ship moments later, covered in bruises after they had quickly beat him up.

"Who didn't see that coming?" Naruto asked the crew, as Kurama raised a paw at this while snickering.

"Kung fu dugongs are very strong fighters," Vivi said with a frown.

"So what do we do?" Nami asked with her own frown.

Before anyone could reply, they all heard multiple sounds of fighting.

"Alright, I beat them!" Luffy yelled with a grin, as many dugongs were laid around him, knocked out.

"That's even worse! Now they will want to follow you!" Vivi yelled, as the dugongs jumped to their feet and bowed to Luffy.

"OK, now punch like this!" Luffy yelled, as he threw a punch in the air for them to see, which the dugongs all copied.

"Luffy, we can't take them with us!" Nami yelled at her captain.

"Yea, they'll die in the desert," Naruto said with a nod.

The dugongs all started to hug Luffy's legs at this, while giving him begging looks.

Nami and Vivi both looked at the dugongs and both looked away, not willing to tell them no.

"Oh great. They know they are cute and are willing to take advantage of it" Naruto said with a groan.

"Well, maybe we can bribe them to stay here. Ah ha!" Chopper said, as he took out some food from his backpack.

Before he was swarmed by the dugongs.

"Ahhhhhh! I'm being attacked! Help me!" Chopper yelled in a panic, as the dugongs started to pull at him, trying to get more food.

Naruto sighed at this, before he jumped down to help Chopper and deal with the dugongs.

(Later)

A little later, the crew were now walking into the desert, after they had dealt with the dugongs.

"Nice job, you idiot. Thanks to you beating those dugongs, we had to bribe them with most of our food!" Sanji yelled at Luffy, trying to kick him in the head.

"Can't we just hunt for food in the desert?" Naruto asked curiously, as he tried to help ease the tension.

"That's not the point, you idiot!" Sanji yelled at Naruto.

Naruto made a mocking face at this, before he noticed the sun's position and paused.

"What's wrong?" Ussop asked curiously, seeing this.

"It's time," Naruto said, as he took out his Kusarigama.

"Time for what?" Zoro asked with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto ignored this, as he looked at Chopper. "YOU ATE MY RAMEN!!!!" he yelled, as he chased after Chopper.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Chopper yelled, as he ran into the desert like a bat out of hell.

"……is he serious?" Vivi asked, as she blinked in surprise at this.

"Yup. He did the same thing to me, when we were kids" Luffy said as he nodded.

"YOU ATE MY RAMEN!" Naruto yelled out, as he continued to chase Chopper.

"THERE WAS NO NOTE!" Chopper yelled back, as he ran away from Naruto, while the others watched.

Unknown to the group, on a far away hill, what looked like three figures were watching them.

One was a red haired teen boy with black rings around his eyes, another a blonde haired teen girl with a large fan on her back while the third was another teen boy, with something wrapped in bandages on his back, with what looked like face paint on his face.

"Huh, looks like another strange group has entered the desert" the oldest one with face paint said, as they watched the group.

"They seem like morons to me. Perfect marks for us to rob, right Gaara?" the girl asked with a smirk.

"…..we will observe them, for now. We don't want to attack them, without knowing what we are dealing with" the redhead said firmly, as he kept his eyes on the group of pirates and the princess with them.

The sun slowly rises off as the night winds blow through the desert of Alabasta giving it almost a purple color from the sky. In the middle of the desert alone stood Vivi she looked down at the sand picking up a jeweled necklace holding onto it

tightly the cold winds flowing as she looked at the necklace with a forlorn look on her face as she thought of the danger awaiting her people.

Vivi thinks of her father, Igaram, Chaka, Pell, and Kohza beside a young Kohza protecting a young Vivi.

Back in the desert Karoo looks at his friend sadly knowing the burdens she holds. When she suddenly picks up something and turns to see the straw hat crew ready to support her.

She thinks back to all the adventures the group have had meeting the giants, fighting against Mr 3, crossing through the desert.

The group walks towards the princess Luffy patting her shoulder gently while Zorro simply struts by Sanji puts a hand on her shoulder while Ussop gives a grin, Nami passes giving her a wink, Naruto two finger salutes her with Kurama rubbing her head with his tails and Chopper waving by as the sun begins rising up into the sky and with it washing away all Vivi's doubt as she knows she has friends who will support her.

P.O.M and Kfbanime87 were in their office like always, when….

Whooooo! Ryan Reynolds Sama's newbie is out! Deadpool yelled out, as he barged into the office

Wait, Deadpool and Wolverine is already out? P.O.M asked

No, not yet. I think he means that other movie about the imaginary friends: Kfbanime87 said with a shrug

Not interested? Deadpool asked curiously

I may rent it, when it's on streaming. But the theater? Sorry, but Fosters did this first: Kfbanime87 said as he shook his head

Well, hope that everyone is ready for my Dragon Ball fanfic: P.O.M said

And as for me, I have no idea. I need a nap, so go away: Kfbanime87 said, as he made a shooing motion at Deadpool

Yea, you had a big week with your birthday: P.O.M said with a nod at his co author

Wait, it was your birthday?! Deadpool yelled out in shock

Yes. It was not that big a deal, really. I had a cake and got a few presents. No big deal: Kfbanime87 said with a shrug

Later folks: P.O.M said with a wave at the reader
