Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or One Piece.

A/N: Sorry about the late update.. Combination of writers block, and my muse/drive being with my other stories. Good news I won't take another hiatus until I catch up with the manga.. At least when I finished with the Arc dealing with Doflamingo/whatever arc(s) is after that one.

Also thanks for over 500 reviews, and close to 350k views I'll do a 10k chapter for the Sabaody Archipelago arc.

Sorry for the short chapter.. I wanted to save the Island for the next chapter, and had hard time thinking of things to do on the Sunny. And I also wanted this to be a prologue chapter to set things up. Honestly I had trouble thinking of things for this chapter

UPDATE: Chapter 42 is back up after some issue with the site not showing it I just re-uploaded it to let anyone who didn't get the chance to read it after it got uploaded to know It's back up.:UPDATE


Chapter XLII.

Last Time.

Naruto glanced back, and widened his eyes seeing a guage in his shoulder, and smmok coming out of his cut. "Wha... What are you?" Naruto asked as Kuma turned to face him. "So... You're like Franky.. A cyborg.. But you felt stronger when I hit you just now." A red light came on in Kumas left eye, and he opened his mouth revealing a yellow light.

He shot a beam at Naruto who jumped out-pf-the-way, but was still hit by the attack sending him crashing in to a piece of a wall. He got up on his hands, and knees panting as he looked to Kuma who was fixing his shoulder. Naruto looked to where the attack hit, and saw steel beams melting. "The steel.. Melted..!" Naruto quickly turned around, but fell to his knees, and coughed a little blood before Kuma spoke up.

"A cyborg... Yes that's what I am, but... I'm quite different from 'Cyborg Franky'." Naruto panted as he stared at Kuma. "I'm a 'Pacifista.'.. Part of a yet-to-be completed project of the World Government... a

ningen-heiki. (Human Weapon.)" Narutos eyes widened at that. "A.. Pacifista?" He asked as blood dripped down his forehead before Kuma spoke up.

"I was created by the Government's genius scientist... Dr. Vegapunk.. The greates intelagence on the planet.. It is said that his scientific knowledge has already... reached the level humanity is likely to reach in five hundred years' times." Naruto looked to him before speaking up. "A body like that... And a devil fruit.. No wonder he's a Shicibuaki. (Seven Warlords.)"

"I can hardly move... You're still going to take Luffys head right?" Naruto asked as Kuma nodded. "Yes.. That's as far as I'm going to compromise." Naruto sighed before closing his eyes. "Ok.. Take me instead.. I'm worth more.. My parents, and God parents were Vice-Admriles... That should be a good compromise right?"

Kumas eyes widened at that before Naruto continued. "What kind of crew mate would I be If I didn't give my life for my Captain.. Luffy's the one who'll be the Pirate King!" Kumas eyes widened before they heard another voice speak up. "What do you think you're doing Fishcake?" They looked to they right/left, and saw Sanji limping to them with his right pant leg torn from the knee down, and left shirt sleeve torn from the elbow down.

Sanji walked up, and stood in-between them. "Rather then Fishcake... Take my life instead!" Narutos eyes widened as Sanji continued. "I may not be that famous yet.. But the one who'll be the biggest threat.. Is me 'Black Leg' Sanji!" Kuma stared down at him as he was struggling to stand. "Both of us are ready to lay down our lives.. Make it a glorious death!"

Sanji turned to glance at Naruto before looking forward. "Tell everyone to have a glorious journey.. And to find a new cook." Naruto suddenly punched him in the stomach as his bandanna shadowed his eyes. Sanji grabbed him before falling down unconscious. "Why..." Sanji asked as Naruto looked to Kuma. He started removing his weapons before speaking up.

"This is my last request.." Kuma just stare at him for a minute before sighing. "If I take 'Straw Hats' head after this.. I would bear the shame." Naruto spat out a little blood before speaking up. "I'm in your debt." He turned to Luffy before leaning down. "Trust me.. I'll keep my promise... But in return.. I'll show you what hell is like." He picks up Luffy, and touched him with his other hand.

Suddenly, a big red 'paw' as came out of Luffy. "I just repelled all of his pain.. And his fatigue." Kuma said putting Luffy down, and walking to the 'paw'. "This is all the damage inflicted on him during his battle with Moria, and Oars.. If you want to take his place.. Naturally, you would have to take in all of this."

"However, someone as close to death as yourself were to take it.. You'll die." Kuma puts his hand on it, and sends a small part to Naruto. "Have a try." The small ball went in to Nartuto who suddenly felt like he was hit a thousand times by Tsunade. He fell on his face before turning on his back, and coughed. "How was that?" Kuma asked before Naruto got on his knees, and stared at him.

"Let's take this somewhere else." Kuma took them just outside the walls where Naruto was looking at the 'paw' panting hard. He took a deep breath, and jumped in the 'paw'.

Later.

Kuma was standing on top of the mouth looking gate with his gloves on, and arms crossed. "He has a good crew... But That's to be expected from your son... Dragon." Kuma said looking at the ocean. "And your son turned out great Minato.. Kushina.."

With the others, they groaned as they got up, and cheered having survived the attack. with the S.H.C. cheering as Luffy was healed. "But how?" Nojiko asked as Sanji groaned before seeing Narutos stuff on the ground in front of him. He dashed outside the wall, and saw Naruto standing in a clearing, with his arms crossed.

He ran over to him and stuck his hands in his pockets. "There you are.. Where's that Kuma guy? What happened..." He stopped seeing Naruto with his coat, shirt, and pants torn to shreds, bandanna torn showing his hair, and blood covering his face, chest, and arms with the ground around him red. He opened his eyes showing they're bloodshot. "Nothing... Happened." Naruto replied before coughing up blood.

The Next Day On The Sunny.

Luffy, Sanji, The girls, and Usopp was on deck going through the treasure that was brought up on board. Luffy grinned Picking up a black bracelet with two gems on it. "Hey.. Cool." He puts it on his left shoulder as Usopp looked to him. "Hey wait you just can't take something... Nami won't like it." They heard a sigh, and looked to see a depressed Nami going through the treasure as the other girls left inside. "It's fine... That's not worth that much."

Luffy leaned to Usopp, and whispered. "What's wrong with her?" Usopp leaned to him, and replied. "She's down because Naruto was found by Sanji close to death.. Chopper barely had enough blood for what Naruto lost."

Inside the mansion Chopper was tending to Naruto who was bandaged from his head to feet as Luffy, and Franky brought two big bags over. "How did this happen? Did Kuma do it?" Thane asked as Kitchi wined sitting near Naruto. Two pirates came over, and excitedly raised their hands. "We know we.." The stopped as Sanji pulled them outside, not noticing the ear on one of their back.

Robin closed her eyes as the pirates explained how Naruto took Luffys damage, and Kuma decided to let him, and the others go. She smiled before kissing Narutos forehead as the others partied with Brook playe the piano, and sung 'Binks Sake'. Brook started to explain how his old crew died, and had recorded a song on a dial for Laboon to hear. he started laughing before looking to Luffy.

"May I join your crew?" Luffy shrugged before replying. "Sure." he said getting everyone to look at them wide-eyed. They started partying more in the night, and Brook, who remembering something kneeled throwing his old wanted poster down. "That's right I forgot to formally introduced myself.. I'm 'Dead Bones', and my name is Brook." Everyone looked to him as he continued. "I am a wanted man.. 'Humming Brook'."

"My bounty is thirty-three million berries'. I promise to do my best." After smiling they continued partying in to the night.

Two Days Later.

Naruto in black pants, and an unbuttoned red shirt showing his bandages walked to the graveyard with Zoro were Brooks was playing the violin in front of his crew grave marker that Franky, and Usopp made. They sat down, and started praying as Brook looked to Naruto remembering his fight. "I just joined your crew." He said as Naruto smirked. "Well.. You have some bad luck.. This crew is crazy."

They walked back and saw Lola giving Nami a vivre card, and told her to find her mother if they get in to trouble. "Oh het Ace gave me one." Luffy said removing Aces card and saw it burning. "Oh crap." Naruto said before the others looked to him. "If it' burning.. That mean's Ace is in trouble." Later, they said their good-byes and left Thriller Bark.

"Are you sure you don't want to go, and check Ace Luffy?" Nami asked wearing blue jeans, and a polka-dotted shirt glancing to Naruto who was at the wheel wincing every now, and then. "No.. Ace would just be pissed if we help him." Luffy replied as Sanji threw them all drinks. Usopp smiled before making a toast.

"To our new crew mate Brook.. Naruto let's get out of here with the Ku do Bāsuto. (Coup De Burst.)" Naruto smiled before they blasted off in the air cuasing Brook to scream. "AAHH! What is this!"

Now.

The Going Sunny, Early Morning, A Few Days Later Naruto.

Naruto, in a black sleeveless shirt, and dark blue jeans shivered as he felt a cold breeze go by. "Must be near a cold climate island." He said before walking down the steps from the wheel. He looked up to see Usopp, and Chopper in the Crows nest taking turns watching out the windows. He walked in on his, and the girls side of the ship before walking in their room.

He saw they were still sleeping, and they had theirs, and his posters on the wall above the bed before walking to the dresser. He opened the top drawer, only to blush seeing panties, and close it. "I keep forgetting we're sharing the dressers." He said before opening his drawer, and picked up a black long-sleeved shirt, and a black bandanna.

He walked back outside where Sanji was chasing Luffy around, who had a piece of meat in his mouth. He shook his head before walking back to the wheel, and looked ahead. "We could use more supplies.. And more food.. I should ask Nami, or Nojiko how far we're away from the next island." He said steering the boat to the right.

Later Deck of the Sunny.

"You're right Naruto-kun.. We could make a stop for supplies since we gave food to Lola, and her crew." Nami said bringing up a map of the area. "I was able to get this map from a box that was in the Sunny's cargo room." She continued pointing to an island. "This one's the closest to us." Everyone but Naruto who was still steering looked at the map.

"From what I've read.. It's an Autumn Island... Its called Aki Island." (1.) She finished before folding the map up, and putting it on the table as Sanji came out with food for the women. Thane walked out from the bottom of the ship whipping his face with a towel. "Well.. I've checked the ship with Franky.. That Perona didn't damaged anything.. Although it looked like she started painting some of the rooms pink."

Naruto looked to his right as a big dolphin jumped over the ship creating a tidal wave. "Hold on!" Nauto yelled turning the Sunny to ride the wave straight. Water crashed against the Sunny as Naruto quickly turned the wheel again as the wave died down. "How far are we to Aki Island?" Naruto asked steering the ship as he looked back.

"We're a few days away Naruto-kun." Nami replied eating her steak as everyone sat down at a table that was set up beside the wheel. "Yohohoho! I can eat til I'm sick to mt stomach... Although being a skeleton.. I have no stomach.. Skull Joke!" Brook said as he ate, and drank his glass of milk. (A/N: I'm not real good at his jokes.. Any of you want to send any for this arc feel free too.)

"Is there anything about the island we should know?" Emiko asked playing with Kitchi, and Tate. Robin looked up from the book she was reading, and answered. "Nothing really important.. It's where former Rear Admiral Kaito has hung out here for the past couple of weeks." (2.) Naruto stiffened as memories came flooding back. He shook his head before letting go of the wheel.

"I'm going to go lay down." He said walking to go to his room. As he laid down, he puts his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.

(Flashback.)

Konoha.

A seven-year Naruto wearing black shorts, and dark blue shirt walked beside his mother. She has a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, fiery red hair with strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left, keeping it out of her eyes. She's wearing an outfit that consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress.

The blouse is blue while the dress is dark green. She has a wristband that's dark blue on her left wrist and sandals that are black. "Kaa-chan are we meeting Tou-san?" Naruto asked as his mother smiled. "That's the plan." She replied with a smile before hearing a male voice behind her. "Kushina!" She turned to see Jiraiya running to them.

"Ero-Sennin! (Pervy Sage.)" Naruto yelled out as Jiraiya gained a tiic mark. "Damn it gaki!. (Brat.) I'm not a pervert!" He yelled before puffing his chest. "I'm a super pervert!" Kushina face-palmed before sighing. "Ok Jiraiya.. What do you want?" Jiraiya lost his goofy aura, and looked to her. "Minato's battling Pirate a few miles out.. He'll be late to meet you."

Kushina crossed her arms before looking to the ocean. "Anyone strong? I'll go help him." Jiraiya shrugged. "You can hitch a ride with Tsunade.. She's heading out to treat any of the wounded.. I'm just here to order the Marines stationed here... The highest bounty is one hundred million." He replied before Kushina bent down to Naruto. "Kaa-chan will be right back Naru-chan."

"You be good for your Ero-Godfather." She said before walking away a Jiraiya walked to Naruto. "Hey how about we visit the hot spri..." He stopped feeling Killing Intent. He looked back, and saw a dark aura around Kushina with her hair floating, and splitting into what looks like nine 'tails'. "I.. I mean let's go straight home." He quickly picked Naruto up, and dashed away leaving a dust trail after him.

Later.

Tsunade, wearing her Marine coat with the kanji for 'Justice' on the back walked with a man whose a tall, fair-skinned man with bright, blue eyes and spiky, blond hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. His attire consisted of a long-sleeved uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a leaf green flak jacket, and blue sandals.

He's wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his attire, decorated by orange flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Justice' written vertically down the back, and closed on the front by a thin, orange rope. "He sure gave one hell of a fight Minato." Tsunade said rubbing her neck where a bandage was wrapped around. "Yeah but he had a Loiga Power so that's to be expected."

They continued to walk with Kushina catching up, and hitting Minato in the back of the head. "Why did you leave me baka!? (Idiot.)" Minato rubbed his head. "Because you were being treated, and I know Jiraiya will be at the hot springs with Naruto." As soon as he finished, they heard giggling. "This is excellent material." Kushina, and Tsunade gained tic marks before hearing another voice.

"Why are we here Ero-Sennin? shouldn't we be inside?" Minato took a couple of steps away from the two women before Jiraiya spoke again. "I'm waiting for it to be co-ed so you can bring the ladies over.. To.. Me.." Jiraiya stopped as two shadows came over him. He looked back behind him, and gave a girlish scream before he dashed away as Kushina, and Tsunade gave chase.

"Hey Naruto have fun?" Minato asked as he walked over, and picked up Naruto. "Not the face, not the face.. Ok the face, the face!" They heard Jiraiya scream before they saw him fly in the air towards the mountain just outside the town.

(Flashback End.)

"Naruto! Come on out! There's Bounty Hunters out here!" Naruto was jolted from his day-dream as Nojiko yelled fro au top. He jumped off of the bed, and ran up to see another ship with black sails, and a crew of men, and women. A man with fair skin, and long black hair pulled in to a pony tail pulled out a flintlock, and aimed it at Nojiko.

BANG!

Only to fall down as she quickly pulled hers out, and the S.H.C. each got ready for a fight.

Night Time, Sunny.

After dealing with the Bounty Hunters, everyone was laughing as they ate with Brook singing Binks' Sake. (A/N: Also any good songs for the celabration is also appriciated.) Mai looked over to Naruto who was quietly drinking. "Naruto-kun.. You've been quiet today.. Anything wrong?" Naruto shook his head before smiling softly. "No nothing's wrong Mai-chan."

Kitchi jumped in his lap, and Naruto rubbed his head. "Are you sure?" She asked again, and he nodded. "Yes.. I'm fine." He replied giving her a kiss." He picked his plate up, and took it to the sink, and walked out side, and leaned on the railing. "Berry for your thoughts?" Naruto turned, and saw Robin wearing a coat that's opened showing a beige sleeveless top with straps on it, with the top two lossened to show her cleaveage.

She's also wearing pants that's opened on the sides with an 'X' pattern going down the sides, and a purple sash around her waist. (It's her last outfit from The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle. movie.) "I'm fi.." He stopped as she crossed her arms making him sigh. "Ok.. It's Kaito... He's one of the Marines that led my parents to their death." He explained getting her to widen her eyes.

"I didn't want to say anything untill we got to the island, and he's still there.. I didn't want to get them worked up for nothing if he wasn't there.. Or get any other Mareines after us if we can relax... To bad we can't find some kind of Spa Island or something." (3.) He said before she walked over, and wrapped her arms around hi. He smiled before leaning his head on her shoulder.

"I can't belive I'm shorter than you.. I know it's only two inches, but It feels weird having to put my head on your shoulder instead of the top of your head." Robin chuckled before kissing his cheek. "Yeah I know.. How about I make it up to you?" She asked walking back swaying her hips. He looked over his shoulder, and saw a storm picking up before walking after Robin.

To Be Continued.


A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.

1. Decided to use an Autumn island for this O.C. arc since one hasn't come up in the manga/filler.

2. Again a 'Rear Admiral' hasn't been used much so I thought I would use that title to help increase Naruto's bounty after the War of the Best.

3 I'll be putting the filler 'Spa Island' Arc since it's three episode I'll add it to the last chapter of this arc.. Also the only time 'll do filler arcs is if they integrated in to a canon arc like the filler games with Foxy, and him returning to introduced Aokiji, or need to make a chapter longer.

If you read this at the top disregard it. Sorry about the late update.. Combination of writers block, and my muse/drive being with my other stories. Good news I won't take another hiatus until I catch up with the manga.. At least when I finished with the Arc dealing with Doflamingo/whatever arc(s) is after that one.

Also thanks for over 500 reviews, and close to 350k views I'll do a 10k chapter for the Sabaody Archipelago arc.

This arc will be at least another three chapters I want to introduced the Island/characters next chapter, and a chapter for the fights, and a chapter for the celebration, leaving, and the Spa Island arc.

Sorry for the short chapter.. I wanted to save the Island for the next chapter, and had hard time thinking of things to do on the Sunny. And I also wanted this to be a prologue chapter to set things up. Honestly I had trouble thinking of things for this chapter

ALSO, any ideas/O.C.s for my first O.C. arc is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Chapter 42 is back up after some issue with the site not showing it I just re-uploaded it to let anyone who didn't get the chance to read it after it got uploaded to know It's back up.:UPDATE

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
