This intro was inspired by secretagentman1 and his story Naruto and the Galactic Pirates go check it out (note it is on indefinite hiatus)
Huge Update worth re-reading if you have read already more info in the Author Note at the end
It was a normal peaceful day in Foosha Village the sun was shining, birds were singing, and 2 boys were standing atop the mast of the "Red-Haired Pirates" commanded under Captain "Red-Haired" Shanks… Wait WHAT!
"Say, Cap'n what do ya think the kid are up to this time?" asked Lucky Roux a rather portly pirate of Shanks crew with his ever present grin and his trademark meat-on a-bone in his hand. "Who cares what they're doing it'll be worth a few laughs whenever those two are involved." Said the amused captain Shanks looking up toward the mast where the two boys were goading them into doing whatever they were planning.
The boy's just 'humphed' at Shanks' proclamation and continued their antics. The one to the left was a village boy by the name of Monkey D. Luffy; the boy has shaggy black hair and a white t-shirt with word "Anchor" in the middle, and was brandishing a boy on the right was Fox D. Naruto (He's aearing his clothes from pre time skip).
"You sure about this Luffy?" Naruto asked and the black hair boy nodded."Yep" he said before he got Shank's attention and then he stabbed himself under the eye."LUFFY!" the band of pirates yelled.
Inside a quaint little bar in the village the pirates were celebrating Luffy "courage". "Did ya see us Shanks I was completely tough you have to take me on your next voyage now." Said Luffy a bandage present under his left eye "No way Luffy you can't even swim, though I'd consider taking Naruto he can." Shanks clarified as well as added that last bit to further torture Luffy as he screamed about how it wasn't fair as he wanted to be a him Naruto dream was to be the Fleet Admiral of the Navy and change the for the better.
Naruto sighed at his surrogate brother "Come on Luffy you always let the Captain get to you. You have to be more sensible like me." Luffy just blankly stared at the blond 'When did he get so smart?' thought the boy. Shanks just laughed and prodded Luffy with his finger while lifting his glass to take a swig of his drink "He's right Luffy are you ever gonna grow up?" Shanks queried that is until he drank his grog to find it was hot… Really Hot! Without any warning he started spewing flames as anime tears fell from his eyes. "Ha, I got you with my 'Revenge prank: hot sauce grog' you should see you face." laughed the blond before he started running from the infuriated captain.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT DON'T EVER MESS WITH MY ALE!" "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" screamed the pirate and child while the entire bar watched on in amusement. Minutes later Shanks was enjoying his new glass as Naruto sat next to Luffy sporting multiple bumps on his head as well as tick marks since Luffy was laughing at him. "Could you stop now, we get it I got beat up it's not that funny" the ashamed blond said as Luffy continued to laugh.
Suddenly the door was kicked open as a plentiful number of men walked into the bar the most prominent being the one in front sporting an x-shaped scar over his right eye and wearing a brown, black pants, and a gold necklace. Everyone was so fixated on the commotion they never noticed the two boys eating fruits they had found in a treasure chest, though judging by their faces you could tell they didn't taste very good.
"Look out for the Terror of the Highlands." Announced the man as he proceeded through the aisle of the bar, stopping at the counter he said "I am Higuma 'The Bear' and this is my group of mountain bandits. We'd like you to sell us some ale if you don't mind." Makino the owner of the bar and Naruto's mother figure after his past away started to sweat and apologized saying she had sold the last batch, which clearly angered the bandits. "Out of alcohol? That seems hard to believe because I can see all these pirates drinking It." stated the bandit leader matter-of-factly "I am terribly sorry sir but I did serve the last of it a couple of moments ago" said Makino worriedly hoping to avoid any conflicts.
"Sorry friend, seems me and my crew drank all of the liquor but I do have this one bottle that's unopened you can have this if you like." Said Shanks politely, now normally when you respond to someone's kindness it's with a "thank you" or even a "no thanks" but, instead of either instance Higuma thought it best to crack the bottle over Shanks' head spilling the contents of said bottle, and debris all over the floor of the bar. "Are you mad? What good is one bottle to all of us we would need barrels" said the enraged bandit though Shanks wasn't listening preferring to crouch to the ground to begin cleaning the mess that is until the bear decided to slash all of the bottles on the counter showering Shanks in even more ale, and shards of glass. "If you enjoy cleaning so much, go ahead and clean that up while you're at it." Said Higuma as he and his band of…bandits left the bar.
After Makino checked to make sure that Shanks was okay the entire crew of the "Red-Haired" Pirates erupted in laughter as their captain joined in. "HOW COULD YOU JUST LAUGH THAT OFF!" yelled Luffy and Naruto at the same time halting the crews laughter to hear the interaction between the kids and their captain. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BEAT THEM UP, EVEN WITH THEIR LARGER NUMBERS YOU COULD HAVE BEAT 'EM!" the boys yelled simultaneously again making the pirates wonder how they did that twice. "Look kids it isn't anything to get bent out of shape about. So he spilled a drink on me no big deal" said the captain just waving the occurrence off as if it were nothing. This didn't deter the boys as they turned to leave with Shanks grabbing their arms trying to get them to come back but, to everyone's surprise Luffy's arm stretched and Shanks hand passed through Naruto's leaving puffs of clouds and Shanks eyes widened.
Staring in disbelief while the boy panicked about their arms Lucky Roux being the first to recover ran to the treasure chest the boys found the fruit and gasped finding it empty. "They aren't here!" screamed the fat pirate "Both devil fruits we found aren't in the chest" everyone then looked at the boys intently as Lucky Roux drew a picture of both fruits one was purple with swirls while the other was white with purple stars on it. "You guys didn't eat these did you?" Roux asked as the boys nodded in the affirmative as well as sweat drops on their heads remembering the fruit's horrible taste.
"You fools you ate Devil Fruits now you can never swim again those fruits were enchanted by Devils of the Sea." Shanks explained "What? Now I can't learn how to swim? This sucks!" screamed Luffy as Naruto screamed too "Who cares if Luffy can't swim? I could and I enjoyed it, now I can't do it ever again!" Luffy tried to punch Naruto but because of his new body his arms flopped limply, getting laughs.
Luffy found out yesterday that he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit making his body rubber allowing him to stretch his extremities to amazing lengths, while Naruto found out that he ate the Storm Storm no mi which allowed him to become .Currently the two boys were planning on stealing some fish from the fish monger they both knew under the guise of buying it. "Hey, Mr. Fishmonger can I get some fish" asked Luffy cheerily while Naruto had clouds swirl around a bunch of fish using wind to lift it u[ while the monger was distracted by Luffy. "Hey there rubber-boy I thought you'd be sad that the pirates left without you,not to mention you can't swim either." The monger stated though it did little to faze Luffy.
"It's alright I'm still gonna be a pirate and Naruto gonna be a marine we just need to make sure we don't fall overboard, besides it's fun having devil fruit powers" they boy said as he stretched his cheeks. "That's great and all but," the fishmonger turned to the clouds and wiped it away his face became that of a demons "DON'T USE THOSE POWERS TO ROB FROM MY SHOP!" he screamed while the boys cowered as they nodded their heads.
That's when the mayor showed up named Woop Slap and furrowed his brow at the two "You two shouldn't be so happy about being freaks you know. Also Luffy I want you to stop this pirate nonsense. It'll make the village look bad if you become a pirate and… blah blah blah" said the mayor while the boys just plugged their ears.
Makino was behind the counter cleaning glasses while Luffy was sitting across from her plying with a glass while Naruto was asleep beside him. "I just can't believe it Makino, I thought they were supposed to be tough but they didn't stand up for themselves at all." Luffy said wondering what was up with the "Red-Haired" Pirates Makino simply smiled "Luffy maybe it just takes more courage not to fight." The woman had stated the correct answer but Luffy's childhood naivety wouldn't have any of it "Aww, Makino you'd have to be a man to understand what I'm getting at" Luffy deadpanned as the bartender giggled.
That's right when the door was kicked open again which jolted Naruto awake as the brothers stared at the door to see the same mountain bandits from the other day sit down and order drinks.
(30 minutes later)
Makino rushed and got the mayor and rushed back to her bar to see Higuma roughing Luffy and Naruto up after the boys decided to attack him for speaking ill about Shanks. "What did I do to instigate this all I was doing was talking to my men and the next thing I know you 2 try to attack me." said the leader as he stepped on the boys repeatedly "You know what you did, and you better apologize no one talks bad about Shanks!" the boys yelled.
"'Ey what's going on nobody was at the harbor to welcome us back." said the familiar voice of "Red-Haired" Shanks as he appeared with his crew. "Oh, it's you mountain bandits again. What's with you two I thought you trained for situations like this?" Shanks stated then asked the two boys. "Not now cap'n Shanks we were getting ready to finish them." Luffy said.
Shanks then began to walk forward when a nameless bandit pointed a gun at his head "Don't move if you want to live pirates." The bandit said that's when Shanks turned just his head toward him "You know it's not safe to point guns." The straw hat captain said, confusing the bandits until Lucky Roux suddenly appeared by his side and shot him, surprising the bandits at how swiftly the fat man moved. Higuma became angry at this and ordered all of his men to charge forward "Captain I've got this one." stated Ben Beckman, Shanks' first mate as he proceeded to clean house on all the bandits with no assistance whatsoever.
Fearful, Higuma threw a smoke pellet onto the ground, grabbed Luffy and beat a hasty retreat in the cover of the smoke. "Dammit I let him get away with Luffy, we have to find him!" Shanks yelled concerned, while Naruto was looking down and feeling pathetic for not saving Luffy"
(Island coast)
"Ha the perfect plan, hide out at sea and escape no one would expect a mountain bandit to do this." said the smug bandit as he looked at Luffy "Now I don't need you anymore ya brat." With that said Higuma kicked Luffy off the dinghy and laughed until he saw a shadow. As he turned around he was met with the gaping maw of a Sea King, with one tremendous chomp it swallowed the dinghy and its passenger then turned its sights on the drowning Luffy. When it took a bite it didn't taste the boy but an arm. That's right Shanks miraculously found Luffy and saved him from the jaws of death and to the naked eye he made the sea monster run away with just a harsh glare.
"So you guys are leaving?" Naruto asked very sad to see his and Luffy's role model and father figure leave. "Yep, we've stayed here for way to long we're practically attracting trouble now." the pirate captain said "Well that's alright we won't ask to come or anything I decided to become pirates on my own." Luffy said beaming with pride."And me marine!" Naruto grinned.
Shanks just stuck his tongue out at the notion "You two a pirate and marine? that'll be the day, you could never be that." Shanks said as a hidden way to test their conviction. "Yeah I will! I'll get a crew that's even better than yours, I'll become the Pirate King" Luffy said
"And be Fleet Admiral! I'll kick them elitist ass celestial dragons to the curve and change the Marines for the good" Naruto said the gleaming eyes "I'll create True Justice!"..
"So your both gonna be better than us eh?" Shanks said amused while taking his hat off and taking out black panama hat. "Well then I need you to hold onto these for me they're my treasures, I want you to give them back to me when you become great pirate and you a great marine." Shanks said handing the straw hat to Luffy and the panama to Naruto since he figure the Marines won't like him having a pirate Shanks words the boys began to cry as they saw Shanks leave. "They're going to become great." Beckman stated while his captain simply nodded as they set sail.
-Ten years later-
Naruto grasped his brother hand."Good luck with the marine stuff Luffy" Naruto said now wearing a standard marine color version of his clothes (White replacing Orange)."Yeah and good luck out there Captain a marine ship nearby Monkey Luffy biological and Naruto pseudo grandfather watched.
"Shame he wanted to be a pirate" Garp at least he got through to one of his four brats."Come on gaki! We need to get to Marineford for your test!" Garp yelled and Naruto grinned."Coming gramps!" Naruto yelled while running on board and an hour later Luffy sailed off on his dinghy.
Naruto stood in what was probably to be a hundred different on a podium was a man with a puffy Afro and a white suit with a justice coat."Welcome to the Marine Exams!" He said, getting roars from the other recruits."I am Fleet Admiral Sengoku and today you will prove yourself worthy to be an marine" Sengoku said, getting more cheers.
"All you need to do. . .pass the obstacle course" Sengoku said and most of the recruits were confused while some said this sounded easy."It's a trap" a voice said and Naruto turned to see 17 year old girl with short blue hair and large assets."Eh? What do you mean?" Naruto asked and the girl looked at him then up at Sengoku."Normally you could show up at the registration station and just sign up. .this isn't a normal test" she said and Naruto tapped his chin.
"You got a point. . .got a sharp mind eh? My name is Fox D. Naruto" Naruto grinned and the girl raised an eyebrow."Esdeath" she said shaking his hand.
"Everyone get ready!" Sengoku said and Naruto and Esdesth tensed up."Get set. . .GO!" The Fleet yelled and everyone ran onto to the eyes widen when as soon as everyone crossed the front line and several cannon balls were fired out of cannon taking people out."Holy Shit" Naruto yelled as several flew his way but before they could hit him a good sized wall of ice formed shielding him.
"How. .Esdeath?" Naruto said suprised as Esdesth held up her hands."It's my devil fruit the Freeze-Freeze Fruit" Esdesth explained "it allows me to freeze things. .like moisture in the air" she nodded and looked ahead to the next area."Alright it's my turn to help you" Naruto said raising his hands in the air as the sky darkened.
"What are yo-" Esdeath yelled before it suddenly started to rain and lightning came down destroying some of the cannons."You're not the only one with a devil fruit. .Mine is the Storm-Storm Fruit" Naruto Esdeath could react Naruto grabbed her around the waist and his lower half became clouds as he zoomed grinned seeing Naruto flying past using his fruit and tapped one his men on the shoulder."Aim the big barda on him" Garp grinned and the marine nodded spreading the orders.
Esdeath eyes widened when she saw Big Barda" a cannon the size of a ship aimed at them. "Naruto! Look out!" she said and Naruto took notice of the cannons."Goddamnit Gramps" Naruto said before Esdeath shifted free of his grip and moved to sit on his shoulder."Absolute Zero. ." Esdeath said, crossing her arms across her chest palms facing up."TUNDRA" she shouted and a flurry of snow and ice shard began forming into a ball in front of right arm became a flurry of clouds that he winded back."Storm Storm Lance!" Naruto shouted just as the cannon fired.
Naruto threw out his cloud fist that blew waves of concentrated wind that formed a translucent spear wind pressure blew slammed into large ball of steel and launched it away with Esdeath following up by firing the Tundra blast into the cannon itself which coated the entrance of the cannon in ice and snow."Alright!" Naruto cheered with Esdeath smirked while Garp watched with a grin.
Naruto and Esdeath arrived in a room along with two others had salmon pink hair wearing an open navy vest and a green hair girl in a navy battle in the room was Sengoku and a dark skinned man with a blue and white suit vest and a justice coat.
"Impressive. . .you guys managed to get past the exams by working together in pairs" said the Kuzan."Miss Esdesth and Mr Naruto got past utilizing your devil fruit strengths in conjunction while Mr Nastu and Miss Zenin using their devil fruit and level of strength to cover their weakness instead" the blue pheasant complimated.
"Uh excuse me sir but uh. . .why exactly are we here" Nastu asked as Aokiji smirked and Sengoku nodded to him and turned and walked away.
"Welcome to the Special Admiral Training Corps" Aokiji said and the group jaw dropped.
What up gang!
Yea i already retconned the story
Why?
Cause i wanted Naruto to progress like Luffy with his own version of Gears and ideas just struck me like lightning so boom devil fruit change also why normally Storm Storm fruit would be logia i made it paramecia cause i want Naruto to have some struggle as I don't want major Haki influence until Post Thriller Bark (No Naruto won't be at thriller bark just around that time).
-Original Author Note
This isn't an official update but I decided to open up the vault and finish and alter the prototype story for Jungle Dragon of the this story Naruto is a marine who desires to change the system and he has a long path to accomplish this.
Of course Naruto's and Luffy's story will intersect at points (Things like the War of the Best and Alabasta for example).The whole Special Admiral Training Corps will be explained next chapter but the group isn't Admiral rank yet no worries.
The group will start with this at first
Fox D. Naruto (from Naruto)
Esdeath (Akame ga kill)
Dragneel D. Natsu (Fairy Tail)
Zenin Maki (Jujutsu Kasien)
Also this is pretty big
NARUTO IS A MARINE
So don't expect him to spare every pirate group even if they're not bad want to abolish the Absolute Justice model that criminalizes innocents and let those like Celestial Dragons get off scot model True Justice is all about serving justice to those who deserve it regardless of their background or status. So prepare for a lot of the Strawhats and the SATC encounters to be fights.
