A/N I don't own Naruto nor do I own One Piece. I'm skipping two subplots... the Sanji and Usopp one. Don't worry, it's canon. I just won't write it. Hope you enjoy it


Luffy and Naruto started at the platform not knowing that Smoker is after them after he found out their identities. He exited the bar as his soldiers saluted.

"Captain Smoker, where are you going?"

"The town square." Smoker answered. "He'll be there, I'm sure,"

"You mean, Monkey D. Luffy and Uzumaki Naruto?" One soldier asked.

"Captain, I'll mobilize 100 men immediately and the entire battalion afterwards," One of his comrades confirmed to the captain.

"You guys just don't get it..." Smoker said making the others gasp. "I don't need anybody's help."


Luffy and Naruto climbed up the platform. Naruto looks behind to see people staring at them. He laughs nervously.

"Luffy, I'm not sure this is a good idea." Naruto tried to talk him out of climbing. Luffy almost fell before he regained his balance and holds on one of . Naruto sighs and climbs up next to Luffy.

"Hey!" They both heard a voice. They turned around to see Captain Smoker arriving.

"Um... Hi?" Naruto waved.

"Are you Monkey D. Luffy and Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Um... yeah?" Naruto said. He has a feeling this guy isn't friendly.

"We're kinda busy now, can you wait a minute?" He asked as he then slipped down.

"I'm Captain Smoker of the Marines and I'm in charge of keeping the peace in this town You're under arrest." He told the Captain.

"Huh, arrest?" Luffy scoffed. "Forget that, I'm going to the grand line so I can become King of the Pirates."

"King of the Pirates?" Smoker questioned.

"And Naruto and I aren't getting arrested. He's gonna be Hokage! Believe it!" Hearing that made Naruto laugh nervously.

"Don't say that. I used to say that all the time... and it was awkward..."

"Enough talk!" The Captain screamed. He then cracked his knuckles. "If you two wanna get to the grand line, you'll have to get through me."

"So your saying we can't get into the Grand Line unless we beat you first?" asked Luffy, "Well, we guess I'll have to beat you."

"Yeah..." Naruto agreed. "It's been weeks since my last fight and I was hoping for a challenge.

"Let's get started," Declared Smoker. Luffy stretches his arms to punch Smoker

"Gum-Gum..." But unfortunately, his feet got all tangled up. Naruto facepalmed in embarrassment.

"Our captain, everybody!"

"What's this?" Smoker questioned. "He's made out of rubber?"

"No fair, my legs are all tangled up." Luffy complained. Naruto shook his head in embarrassment while Smoker was getting irritated.

"Hey, come on. Get down from there!"

"I'm not up here 'cause I wanna be, I'm stuck!" Luffy said, defending why he hasn't fought yet. Naruto sighed and helped him out. Once Luffy got his legs free, he jumped down and yelled...

"Gum-Gum Pistol!" He raised his arms to land his fist at Smoker but he jumped. This surprised Naruto then feels him behind.

"Too slow." Smoker smirked. He punches Luffy then swings kicks Naruto.

"They can't possibly be worth 30 and 2,500 million, although I heard rumors that it is a typo, I don't even need my Devil Fruit Powers. I can beat him with just my fists." Luffy and Naruto both fly up to the platform. Naruto tries to jump on him again but Smokers punches him right to the platform then he fell to the ground next to Luffy.

"22 years ago, I witnessed Gold Rogers's death." Smoker told them. "His final moments were proud, worthy of title King of the Pirates. But you, the King of the Pirates? Don't make me laugh. You can't even enter the Grand Line. Don't try to get up, there's no point."

Hearing that made Luffy smirk. If anything, Smoker's words makes him feel more determined.

"Maybe, but I'll never know unless I try!" Luffy grinned as he stood up back on his feet again.

"Here goes! Gum Gum..." He twists the leg to kick Smoker then steps aside allowing Luffy to wrap his legs around a fountain instead. Naruto has a bad feeling ahd holds onto Luffy's shirt. They started spinning together and flew off. Smoker stares in confusion.

"That was... bizarre."


At the Gold Rogers bar, the bartender was serving alcohol to three hooded figures. One of them is a clown with a bright red nose flipping at his cards with another figure.. a beautiful woman. The man smirked as he flipped a card revealing he had a ace of diamonds. He smirked.

"The cards they never tell me our time for flashy revenge is close at hand. That rubber bastard will finally get what's coming to him."

"So...So, do those cards tell you if you kill the little twerp?" asked the woman.

"They're about to..." He grinned. He pulls a card to see if it has his face on it. The woman tsked.

"Ooh... that's no good."

"Shit!" The clown cried as he slammed his head. Meanwhile, one of his men were on the lookout at top of the bar. He dozes off when he heard two people screaming. He looks up and sees the source of the scream. It was Luffy and Naruto flying ahead. He gasped with widened eyes and goes down to tell his captain.

"Captain Buggy, quick it's him and his new mate" They turned around and wasted no time to rush out.


Luffy and Naruto kept falling until they landed at the outskirts of Longuetown. Naruto's eyes felt dizzy while Luffy just looked up at sky.

"That was quite a flight."That was quite a flight. We flew far, Naruto…"

"You think?" Naruto jumped while holding on to his head.

"What should we do now?" He asked. Naruto was about to say something but he felt drowsy and fell asleep. Luffy followed.

"Yeah... good idea, Naruto." He joined his friend and both went to snoozeville. The civilians walked over to check on on them. They don't know what to make of it so they decided to ignore them.


Meanwhile, Zoro was following the girl through town.

"Hey… wait… hold on… where are we going?" Zoro attempted to ask as he followed after the blue haired girl.

"I can't believe you broke my glasses" said the girl. Zoro sighed.

"I told you, I'll pay you back." He promised. The girl stopped still ahead of Zoro.

"You'll pay me back? You don't look like you have any money. Am I right?"

"Well, that's true. I am kind of broke." Zoro admitted.

"I knew it!" The girl roared as she turned to face Zoro. "I can tell by the look on your face that you're pretty desperate. What is it? Your sick mother needs medicine? Or did your wife run away with another man and leave you all alone to raise the children by yourself?"

"Hey, hold on!" Zoro stopped.

"Don't explain." She said. "Just come with me." Zorro kept following her. Eventually, she led him to a building he had hoped to avoid: a marine headquarters.

"The marines..." He mumbled.

Inside, she hands him a bucket of water and a mop.

"Here... Lucky for you, our janitor quit this morning." She then gives out a smile. "Once you start working for the marines you'll never have to worry about money problems again. There will always be a job here for you."

"Not a chance in hell!" Zoro refused. He hands back the mop and bucket. "I don't work for marines.

"You can't leave now." The girl frowned. "Maybe after you finished cleaning the floors, you can work on cleaning your attitude if this is the way to repay my kindness."

"Ah, crap!" Zoro growled. He couldn't think of a way out of this. One of Marines came by and saluted to her.

"Sergeant Major Tashigi it's time for training." He told her.

"I'll be back to check on you." The girl said. Zoro quirked an eyebrow.

"She's a sergeant?"


Sakura and Nami just finished shopping. While they were worried about Naruto and Luffy, they know they can handle things.

"Well, Sakura... did you enjoy this shopping trip?"

"Yep." Sakura confirmed while wearing her purple hat while holding some medical supplies. She then noticed something. She taps Nami's shoulder.

"Hey, look. Over there." Nami looked to see a surprising sight Luffy and Naruto's wanted posters... and Zoro in a marine base.

"Damn it, How the hell did this happen to me?" He asked himself, leaving both Sakura and Nami confused.

"Zoro, in a marine base?" Nami asked. She then puts her hand on her face. "What is going on here?"

Zoro continued cleaning the floors.

"Crap this is gonna take the whole damn day." He sees other brooms and had a good idea." He grabbed three more, put one more on his mouth, and cleaned the floors faster. After he finished cleaning up the floor. "

"Three-Mop-Style Technique worked like a charm." He then hears fight grunts so he takes a look. He sees the sergeant practicing with a bunch of marines using wooden swords. And she is using the best of them. He retakes one good look of her and it reminds him of...

"Hey you." His thoughts were interrupted by marines surrounding him. "It's Zoro, the pirate hunter."

"Why are you cleaning? One asked. "Intel says that you joined up with Monkey D. Luffy's crew."

Zoo sighed. Not because he joined Luffy's crew but because he questioned how he got into this situation. He leans back and attacks both marines.

"Well, guess I should leave." After he left, Tashigi came down after she was told that two marines had been knocked down.

"What happened?" She asked.

"They appeared to have been attacked but there is no sign on who is responsible." She looked down and sees some money and a note. It was over 1000 berries.

"New glasses." She read and then looked around.


Zoro walked about into town looking for a sword to buy. He was still confused about why this girl seemed so familiar to her. "She looked just like Kuina, not to mention she was a swordsman of all things. What a crazy world, I doubt I'll ever see her again." He declared as he found a sword shop. He walks in to see the shop keep sleeping.

"I would like to buy some swords." He said and it woke up the shop keep who rubbed his hands.

"Of course, of course. Welcome..."

"Welcome! Have a look at anything you'd like! We have an extremely large variety to choose from." Zoro hands him a bunch of berries.

I've got five hundred thousand berries, I need two swords can you do that," He asked.

"Two for five hundred thousand?" The shop keep asked. He then lowered his eyebrows. Great, this guy is broke..." He then sits down and rests his hand on the table while supporting his chin with his palm.

"For two hundred fifty thousand a piece I can only sell you two dull blades."

I'll make do with anything as long as it works," Zoro shrugged. "I could get more money if that's the problem."

"Ugh…"You can't make do with whatever unless you're an amateur. This bum barely has enough money." He looks at Zoro's sword and suddenly jumps. "That sword, could it be?" He started sweating.

"H-hold on a second.. I just wanna take a look at that sword there. Is that okay with you, pal?" He asked, leaving Zoro confused.

"You okay there, buddy?" Zoro asked suspiciously.

"Let me see!" The clerk begged.

"Yeah, whatever.." He hands him the sword and pulls it out of its sheath to examine it. His eyes drew wider than a table.

"THIS IS REALLY IT! Stay cool… p-p-p-poker face… p-p-poker face… a complete amateur just walked in with a legendary sword… IT'S SHOWTIME!"

"Wow, that's a pretty nice sword you got. You want to sell it? I'll give you 200,000 Berries." He said.

Wanna sell it? I'll give you four hundred thousand berries for it. Then you'll have nine hundred thousand berries and you'll be able to buy three swords for three hundred thousand berries each."

"What! Are you kidding me?" Zoro asked.

"Alright, I'll give ya 600,000," Matsu offered. "No wait... 750,000!"

"Just stop, I'm not selling it." Zoro declined to sell the swords, as they held great personal significance to him. Despite the clerk's persistent offers, Zoro remained steadfast in his decision. Their conversation was interrupted as they both heard someone enter the room. Zoro looks over to see it is Tashigi. She turns around and recognizes him.

"YOU'RE OKAY!" she exclaimed. "I was worried about you. See, some marines were attacked earlier right where you'd been mopping the floors. You were gone though so I just assumed that you had been kidnapped."

"She's… not very bright." Zoro mentally facepalmed.

"The fact that you're here means that you must've run away," Tashigi said. "Sad, you really must have no idea how to accept love when it comes your way, do you?" She pulls her money out of her pocket and gives it to Zoro. So here's your stupid money back, I don't need it. I can't accept money from a heartless ingrate." She then reaches for her pocket and pulls out another pair of glasses.

"Besides, I already got new glasses."

With a new pair of glasses, she takes a good look at Zoro's sword and happily gasps, "That sword looks just like the Wado Ichimonji!" She takes it from the clerk to take a closer look at it.

Is this really the sword?"

Matsu was sweating nervously., "STOP TALKING! STOP TALKING!" Tashigi sweats as she takes the sword out of the sheath. She takes off her glasses in disbelief.

"It's beautiful! This has to be one of the 21 O-Wazamono Swords!" She takes out a small handbook and examines it.

"See, it says here that this sword is worth no less than ten million berries!" The girl turned and stared at Zoro, "You're broke, how do you have this legendary sword?"

"SSSHHHAAA! YOU JUST HAD TO KEEP TALKING DIDN'T YA?" The Clert shouted. "I'm gonna sue your ass for Obstruction of business!"

"Obstruction of business?" the Sergeant Major repeated, "I'm sorry, I don't know what I did but please forgive me."

"Here, I finished polishing your precious Shigure for ya, now just take it and get out. I don't wanna see you in my store again." He chucks her sword at her, making her stumble. Then she accidentally trips and knocks into the display of swords, and they all come crashing down.

"JUST GET OUT BEFORE YOU TEAR MY STORE APART!" The clerk yelled.

"I'm… I'm so sorry." Tashigi apologized. He turns back to Zoro.

"Did she ever help you dodge a bullet." He said. "It is a complete waste to have such a legendary sword attached to someone who has no idea of its true value. You can pick from our lovely selection of barrel sort of 50,000 apiece. Pick any of them you like." Zoro shakes his head.

"What is that guy's problem?" He asks as he searches though the swords.

"You must lose a lot of swords if you think you have to carry three of them around." Tashigi joined him as she watches Zoro picks out some swords. "unless of course, you're , you're like that famous Pirate Hunter."

"Pirate Hunter, yeah." Zoro smirked that she didn't know who she was talking too.

He's quite the legend, his name is Roronoa." She says.

"Oh, yeah him..." Zoro continued to play dumb. "I know that him very well."

"He's known throughout the East Blue for his amazing sword skill." The girl said, "but he's not a good person. A swordsman who is just a bounty hunter is no honorable swordsman at all. Everything's backwards, it's really too bad for real swordsmen. Pirates and bounty hunters as Master Swordsman, it just doesn't make any sense. But they have most of the world's legendary swords too. It's a real tragedy." Zoro lets out a chuckle.

"I don't know, it's the kind of thing you have to look at in a case-by-case basis, I guess. You never know what people are capable of."

"This is my Shigure!" She declared while holding the sword. "I'm going to work as hard as I can to perfect my skills and one day I'll take back all the legendary swords because the filthy hands that hold them now have no right to wield them! I'll collect the 12 Top O-Wazamonos, the 21 O-Wazamonos, as well as the Ryo Wazamonos. I'LL FIND THEM ALL!" Zoro then turns around and smirks.

"And this one?" He questioned as he unsheathed it. "...my sword? The Wado Ichimonji?"

"Ahh...I'm not trying to get the legendary swords back for my sake!" She said. "I just don't want criminals to have them." Zoro turns to examine the assortment of swords and eventually selects one that captures his attention. Upon drawing it from its sheath, he sees it has a red cover.

"I think that's.." Tashigi said as she brought out her handbook and flips through the pages until she sees its picture. "Just as I thought… Kitetsu… Kitetsu III. Its predecessor Kitetsu II was a O Wazamono… and the first Kitetsu before that was a Top O Wazamono Sword." She then turns to the clerk. "Hey, are you really only selling this for 50,000 Berries?"

"Y-yeah. The clerk admitted.

"Unbelievable." Tashigi said in awe while Zoro was looking at his reflection from the blade.

That's an authentic Ryo Wazamonos! Wow, you have to buy that sword! It's worth at least a million berries or more, you can't pass it up, its too valuable."

"Damn it… I CAN'T SELL IT!" The Clerk shouted.

"I didn't think so..." Tashigi commented. "I knew there must've been some mistake. This is a legendary sword…"

"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" The clerk defended. Zoro takes the sword for a test swing and reaches a decisive conclusion...

"The sword's cursed." The clerk gasped.

"How do you know?" The room was silent until Zoro answered...

"Just... do."

The Kitetsu Swords are superior in all respects. But they've been cursed since their beginnings, you have to believe me. There are stories from all over of Master Swordsmen that met their death after taking up a Kitetsu Sword. Nobody is even stupid enough to even touch them these days, and you'll fall to its curse as well if you decide to take it. I'm scared to let you buy it 'cause I'm afraid it'll curse me too, just leave it alone." The Clerk explained. Tashigi bowed in shame.

"How horrible. I'm so sorry. "I didn't know it was cursed, that's why I was so pushy. It would be death to take the sword."

"Sounds great!" Zoro grinned. "I think I'll take it." Hearing that surprised the other two.

"I can't sell it, you fool!" Matsu yelled, "If Something Happens to yo with that sword then the curse could come back to me!" Suddenly, he felt someone bonked him on the head. It was his wife.

"Don't be an idiot!" She called out. "Let him buy that sword, you old fool!"

"Don't hit me!" He protested. Zoro let's out a smirk.

"Well, let's see." "How 'bout we find out which one is stronger, this sword's curse, or my good luck." The clerk and his wife gasped as Zoro threw it up in the air. Tashigi silently gasped while watching it fall.

"No!" she gasped. She sees the sword flipping down and it narrowly misses Zoro's arm and instead of Zoro groaning in pain, they heard a loud clank. He smirks.

"I'll take it." The clerk fell backward as Tashigi dropped to her knees. Zoro turned his attention to her.

"Hey, pick out another," Zoro requested, "you've got a good eye on you."

"Um… okay…"

"Hey you, wait here." "The clerk carried as he left the counter and ran upstairs. When he came back down, he had this purple sheet which he almost dropped, but it ended up on the table. When he pulled the sheet off, there was a sword in a purple sheath underneath.

"It is covered in a special black finish with an uneven temper pattern. Our shop is small, this is the finest sword I have and a Ryo Wazamono Yubashiri."

"I told you... I'm flat broke." Zoro mumbled.

"No matter." The Clerk grinned. "I'll give it to you free of charge if you take it. You're welcome to Kitetsu III as well, you deserve it. I haven't come across a real swordsman in a while. Sorry I tried to cheat you before, you must have some damn good luck, friend."


Upon departing the store, Zoro confidently strolls out, feeling more at ease. He is walking with confidence as he makes his way towards the grand line.

"I definitely feel better having three swords again." Back at the store, the clerk's wife scolded him but with a smirk.

"You can't buy me anything nice but you can give away our best sword!"

"That sword belongs in the hands of a true swordsman," The Clerk replied. She slams their garbage can on the table. "Here, why don't you take out the garbage?"

"Yes ma'am." He said in an irritated tone. Tashigi was still in disbelief after what she saw.

"That's weird. Who was that guy?" She asked with a smile.


Back in town, Luffy and Naruto both woke up from their nap. Luffy let out a big yawn, and Naruto stretched his arms and smacked his lips.

"That was a nice nap." Luffy grinned.

"Yeah, Naruto agreed. "I needed that nap."

"Right. Now where were we?" Luffy asked. "Execution platform!"

"Ugh, Luffy.." Naruto said. "That Smoking guy might be there again. I think we should.." Before he could say anything else, Luffy was on his way out. Naruto groaned and runs off after him.

"And I thought I was wreckless." He muttered as he chases Luffy, unaware that Buggy and Alvinda in cloaks are looking for him. Buggy sees some of his crewmates approaching.

"You find him?"

"Not yet." He answered.

"Are you sure you saw that little rubber idiot here earlier?"

"I'm sure." One of his cronies said.

"Urgghh… alright, keep looking," Buggy groaned. He split up and continues his search, unaware that he is close to Luffy who is lost. Naruto caught up to him.

"Luffy, wait up."

"No time. Now where's that darn platform" Luffy said. He then turns to a hooded Buggy walking backwards. He then looks front while Buggy looks on back.

"Where is he?" Buggy questioned. They turn back around again not seeing each other. Luffy looks straight while Buggy looked right.

"Where is that platform?" Luffy asked.

"That way." Buggy said, not recognizing Luffy.

"Oh, thanks." The Straw hat captain hoped off and runs off with with Naruto following him. Buggy eyes grew with shock and screamed.

"THAT'S HIM!" He screamed, finally recognizing him.


Upon returning to Marine headquarters, a soldier reassured e to Captain Smoker, expressing confidence to find the Straw Hats. Following this, the soldier addressed his men.

"Well keep searching, men. Monkey D. Luffy's crew is somewhere in Loungetown and we are going to find them." He ordered.

"Yes sir!" They exclaimed and exited the headquarters. Smoker is sitting at his chair with his feet on his table looking at Luffy and Naruto's wanted posters.

"I get so tired of people shouting. I told you that. He's not going to try to hide. He'll find me. I'm sure of it." He then hears someone running in his office.

"Captain Smoker." He looks to see it was Tashigi. "Has something happened?"

"Tashigi..." Smoke said. "Where the hell have you been?" She gives a whimpering sound until the three men taken down earlier enter the room.

"Captain... we have news." Tashigi turned around and sighed with relief.

"I'm so glad you guys are conscious again."

"It was Zoro..." One of the guards confessed. "Rononona Zoro, the Pirate hunter. He attacked us."

"Zoro?" Tashigi questioned.

"Why would we attack you imbeciles?" Captain Smoker wondered.


Luffy and Naruto jump through town to return to the platform.

"This time, Naruto... we are gonna make it to the top of that mountain!" Luffy declared. "I will stand where he stood and stood where he saw!"

"But what if that Smokey guy comes?" Naruto asked.

"We can take care of him." Luffy said. "After all, we are both strong, right?"

"Well, yeah..." Naruto said. "But I have a feeling he's not the only one waiting for us."


Luffy: Hey Zoro, Cool sword.

Naruto: Hey, who's that guy?

Zoro: Daddy the father

Naruto: Huh? Is that...

Naruto: On the Next Shiniboi X Strawhats, A Familiar looking Ninja. I'm gonna be Hokage!

Luffy: And I'm gonna be King of the pirates!


Sorry I took so long. I was replaying Kingdom Hearts and finished Final Fantasy Rebirth but I will try to post the next chapter sooner. Hopefully in the next two weeks but I make no promises. Like I said, I won't write the Sanji and Usopp parts but I might show some of it in flashback in the next episode. And take a guess when I will put on LuNami in this story. Want a hint? It happens after a new Straw hat appears. You're just gonna have to find out. Until then, enjoy this chapter. Bye!
