A/N I don't own Naruto or One piece. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry if it seems shorter but like I said, I want to end this arc sooner than usual. This will probably be the only time I will shorten an arc(at least in Part 1)
"Destiny... fate... dreams... These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man. As long as there are people who seek freedom in this life, these things will not vanish from the earth..."
"Captain Smoker!" Tashigi yelled while slamming her command superior officer's table while he read his newspaper. "If this Luffy and Naruto guy is still on the island then we need to blockade the ports immediately."
"There's no need to worry," Captain Smoker replied, still reading his newspaper.
"And why is that?" She questioned.
"Stop, you can't go in there." A voice said from outside the office. "Captain's in another meeting."
The door swung open, and there was this man with three unconscious soldiers slung over his shoulders. He had black hair, thick eyebrows, a beard, and a mustache. He was rocking a black cowboy hat with a red strip around it that covered one of his eyes, a bulky gray cloak, blue pants, black fingerless gloves, and black boots with red laces. Tashigi outs down his newspaper.
"How are you doing, Smoker?" The man asked.
"Well if it isn't Daddy..." Smoker muttered. The man that goes by the name of Daddy dropped the two men he was carrying.
Here's Two-Pistol Pete and the Riley Brothers," Daddy said.
"And all three have bounties?" The captain asked.
"No all four." Daddy said, making Tashigi's jaw drop. " I dropped a Brother off at the Morgue." He walks close to Smokers desk with a clipboard. "If you wouldn't mind signing for them, I sure would appreciate it."
"A million berries for four guys." Smoker muttered as he signs the clipboard.
"The work may be cheap but it's steady," Daddy says. "I'm fine bringing in the small fish that move through these waters. I'm not really interested in heading out to sea to chase those two new big catches."
"The marine's best sniper being reduced to being a common street-cleaner," Smoker said as he handed over the clipboard. "It's sad."
"I don't want to risk my life anymore..." Daddy said as he turned around and left.
"Because if you die, that daughter of yours will end up on the street, right?" Smoker asked. "Tell Carol, I said hi." He waves off as sign that he will give the message.
"Sure, I'll tell her Uncle Smokey said hello."
"That was Daddy Masterson the Bounty Hunter?" Tashigi asked her boss.
"Yeah, we enlisted in the same time." Smoker Confirmed.
He was one of the elite, a natural with a gun, he still is I suppose. When I enlisted he took me under his wing and taught me almost everything I know. It was an honor to learn under someone who appeared to be destined to do great things."
"Then why is he just a bounty hunter?"
Back at town, sitting on some stairs, Zoro examined his sword: Ryo Wazamono. He was thinking back to what the clerk told him.
"A cursed sword... Interesting." He was staring at his reflection.
"Hey!" A familiar face stood in front of him, making Zoro jump. He sees that it is Luffy and Naruto. The latter took a closer look and gives it a thumbs up.
"That's a pretty cool-looking sword, Zoro." Zoro scoffed.
"Don't sneak up on me, guys!"
"So why are you sitting here, Zoro?" Luffy asked.
"I'm bored, you?" Zoro said. Naruto rubbed his neck in embarrassment.
"Yeah... we are completely lost."Hearing that made Zoro sweatdrop. He can't believe the one in the hat is their captain. All three of them heard a commotion, and they turned around to see a man with a black cowboy hat walking through town. They saw a bunch of pirates surrounding him.
"Bastard!" One of them seethed.
"YOU SOLD OUT OUR FRIENDS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!" The other exclaimed. "IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PAY! NOW…" The man didn't have a response. Instead, he brings out two pistols and shot at four men without aiming. Naruto and Luffy both looked at each other in awe. Luffy raised his fists in excitement.
"That was so cool!" He looks down to see the only man alive. The man was sweating nervously and backed away while the shooter was approaching him. He pulls out a cigarette that is inside the kid's shirt. He then bends the cigarette while staring at the scared kid.
"Why don't you go run home kid and see if your mom's got supper ready," The kid whimpered then the shooter threw the cigarette at him as the kid took the hint and ran off. Luffy got excited after what he just witnessed.
"Whoa, guys! That was totally awesome!"
"Yeah..." Naruto chuckled. "I gotta admit, that was kind of cool." Zoro lowered his eyes and widened it as soon as he recognized the man.
"That's Daddy the Father, the Bounty hunter." Zoro confirmed.
"A bounty hunter?" Naruto asked. "Well, we better get out of here. He might recognize us."
"Yeah..." Zoro agreed. He stands back up. "Let's go find us something to eat."
"YEAH! I'M HUNGRY!" Luffy exclaimed.
"When are you not?" Naruto asked with a sweatdrop.
At a local Restaurant in Longuetown. Buggy and his crewmate, who goes by Mohj, are eating lunch together. Buggy grumbly chews through his stealing feeling frustrated about not finding Luffy.
"Damn that rubber boy!" He growled as he took another bite. "I can't believe we can't find him anywhere on this entire island!"
"Hey Captain, I've been meaning to ask... why are we wearing cloaks?" Mohj asked while Buggy was drinking some champagne. He slams the bottle in frustration.
"Why are you so stupid? There is a Marine Captain in this town named Smoker. If he finds us before we find Straw Hat then I'll never get my revenge! Grrr… this sucks!" He slams it again and crosses his arms.
"Go and find that Straw Hat before I totally lose it!" Buggy ordered. He then lower his head backwards as he takes out a wanted photo and examines Luffy wanted photo. He flips it to look at his new crewmate that he has read about. He takes a closer look at his face.
"Hmmm... he looks like him. Can it be that..." What he doesn't see is that Luffy, Naruto and Zoro are sitting at a table next to him. Afer a hearty meal, he filled out his stomach again.
"Man, I'm stuffed." Luffy exclaimed.
"Me too." Naruto commented as he took a bite of his ramen. "This ramen is good but nothing can compare to Ichiraku's Ramen stand."
"Really?" Asked Luffy. "Take me there sometime."
"Will do." Naruto confirmed.
"I was starving too." Zoro who was pouring his rum said. "But I was completely out of money. I'm glad I ran into you guys." Naruto and Luffy both blinked at him.
"But I don't have any money." Luffy said.
"Neither do I." Naruto said. Hearing that made Zoro gulp his drink.
"You two don't?"
"You sure you don't?"
"Of course not, Luffy." Zoro whispered. "Where can I get any money?"
"Yeah..." Luffy laughed while slamming the table. "You are always broke!" Naruto joined in the laughter.
"And I thought Granny was bad with money." He pat Zoro on the back while Guffawing. They didn't hear The other table where Buggy was slamming the table in frustration.
"I hate that damn Straw Hat and I want to crush him like a bug the next time I see his ugly face! DIE! DIE! DIE!" He slammed the table so hard it bounced the money from his table to Naruto's head He took a glance at it. He pulled the sack and found a gold coin. He turns around to see Buggy frustrated.
"Hey, Pal. Thanks for buying our meal!" He stood and pat his back.
"Yeah, real nice of you." Luffy waved as he gave him the bag. He patted his back and headed towards the exit.
"Yeah. Thanks Buddy." Zoro said.
"Yeah, yeah.." Buggy muttered without looking who's meal is he buying. Naruto looked around at the bounty posters at the bulletin board through the years. He sees People Like Shanks, Gol Rogers, Buggy among others. AsHe was glancing around when something caught his attention - a wanted poster featuring a beautiful red-headed woman with violet eyes. In the photo, she was flashing a peace sign and winking. Something about this woman... feels familiar. Not only that, but she reminds him of Sakura.
"Kushina..." He looked at the other bounty and widened his eyes. The next photo is a familiar-looking blonde. He had the same blonde hair as he does, only his is blue.
"No... it can't be... the fourth Hokage?" Naruto took the bounty picture off of the board and looked into it. The man he sees in the bounty is smirking. He has a bandana that looks similar to a forehead protector. He looks at his Bounty and it reads 4 Billion Berries.
"Hey, Naruto.'" He looked to see Zoro calling his name. "Let's go."
"Right." He wraps both papers in rolls, puts them in his pocket, and makes his way out. Back at his table, Buggy noticed something.
"Wait, I know that voice." He said, turning round.
Oh yeah," Mohji announced he was still eating, "I think that was the Straw Hat guy." Buggy looks at his First mate with a glare.
"Take one more bite and die..." He threatened. He then shakes him.
"DON'T JUST SIT THERE! GO AFTER HIM YOU FLASHY IDIOT!" Buggy shouts, scaring their lion who's heard it.
"Yes sir!" Saluting, Mohji wasted no time getting out to search for Luffy. He runs off to the wrong direction as Luffy walks up right while he goes straight left.
Back in town, Sakura, and Nami met up with Usopp... who fought with Daddy the Father who angered his daughter and challenged him to a duo, much to Sakura and Nami's embarrassment. When Usopp gets on the wrong side of Daddy the Father's daughter, Daddy challenges him to a duel and defeats him. However, when Daddy learns that Usopp is Yasopp's son, he recalls losing to Yasopp and Usopp then issues a new challenge. Daddy presents Usopp with the task of shooting a weather vane, threatening to kill him if he fails. Usopp successfully shoots the vane, winning the sniper goggles in the process. They meet up with Sanji who entered a cooking contest against a woman named Five-Alarm Carmen for a fish he has always dreamed of cooking... The Blue-Elephant Tuna.
"Wow... that was fun!" Nami cheered. "I love competitions
"Me too, Nami." Sakura said. "Especially when our friends go on top." Usopp, However, is carrying the Tuna and Sanji is carrying the bottom half.
"How did I get stuck carrying the heavier things?" He complained.
Wow, an actual Blue-Finned Elephant Tuna," Sanji grinned while stroking his chin. "I wonder what it tastes like? I'm gonna use the fins for stock, I know that… but what am I gonna do with the ears? I just can't wait to cook it!" Nami stopped for a moment. Sakura who was up fronted noticed and stopped to look from behind.
"Is something wrong, Nami?"
"It's… the air," Nami told them. "It's going to rain."
"But it's so nice!" Usopp pointed out. Sanji looked up in confusion as well. However Sakura trusted Nami.
"If she is sure of it, then we have to trust her. After all, she is a navigator." She said, defending Nami's feeling. Nami smiled with thankfulness as she leads Sakura and the others to the ship.
Back at another part of Loungetown, Luffy, Naruto and Zoro were walking downtown when suddenly some wind flew by and picked up Luffy's straw hat.
"Ahh! My hat!" Luffy cried and followed it.
"Luffy, wait!" Naruto cried out. He followed him through a corner to help him bring back his treasure through the left, leaving Zoro behind.
"Uh, Luffy? Naruto?" He called for them as stopped at the same ally. Unfortunately, he kept on going straight. But luckily for Luffy it landed at Town Square. He sees it and grabs it.
"Oh... Good. My hat." He puts it on and notices he is back at the plateau.
"Hey, Luffy. Wait UP!" Naruto called to him. Once he was next to him, he stopped to catch his breath. Once he was done, he looked up to see they were back at the platform.
"Oh, we made it back." He looks from behind and quirks an eyebrow.
"Where's Zoro?" He asked. He sigh and puts his head behind his head in frustration.
"I swear we need to put a tracking device on him so he won't get lost." Luffy ignored him and walked up to the platform.
"Wait, Luffy!" But Luffy ignored him. Naruto sighed and went after him.
Buggy and one of his cronies Cabajj weren't far off. Cabajj spies from a corner and sees a familiar boy with a straw hat.
"We've found him. This way." He confirmed.
"Are you sure?" Buggy asked. He wasn't the only one that found him...
"He's there, now?" Smoker asked. The solider who rushed in to tell him nods in confirmation.
"We were watching the square like you ordered and he just showed up out of nowhere!"
"Perfect," said Smoker as he got up and walked out of the office to go after Luffy and Naruto.
"So… he finally showed up. It took him long enough." He said, making his way to the platform to catch Luffy.
On the other side of town, Alvinda was seen carrying a giant mace after finding out where Luffy might be. And with her luck, so would his first mate Naruto. She could kill two idiots with one mace.
Luffy and Naruto made their way to the top of the platform. Luffy lets out a cheer while Naruto crosses his arms in amazement.
"I don't know why, but this reminds me of my village." He commented.
"Yeah, isn't it great, Naruto? This is what the King of the pirates saw before he died." Naruto smiled while feeling a little nervous.
"Something tells me more trouble is coming."
Usopp: What? Luffy and Naruto are gonna be executed?
Sakura: Oh no, we gotta save them.
Naruto: Guys help us!
Sanji: So, all we have to do is take down the platform and free both of them?
Zoro: Yep, sounds about right.
Luffy: On the next Shinboi X Strawhats... Buggy's revenge. The man who smiles at the execution platform. I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
Naruto: And I am gonna be Hokage.
This is our next to last chapter. And boy, I bet you didn't expect the 4th Hokage to have a bounty picture, let alone that he went to the OP Universe. The question is... why was he there in the first place? Why does he have a bounty on him and who is this Kushina? Why does she remind him of Sakura? We will know soon enough but for now, enjoy.
