Seagulls flew overhead, looking down on a cruise ship where they could smell the fancy food. From inside, a ball was taking place inside the cruise ship. Some of them were dancing, eating or just talking. One of them was a pink haired woman, looking out at an island. She was interupted from her thoughts when a man shows up.
"Excuse me, would you care to dance with me?" She nodded with a gentle smile and allowed him to take her hand. They wouldn't be able to dance for much longer however, as they heard shouting from outside followed by cannonballs hitting the water near them, sending everybody in a panic. Not showing any fear, the pink haired woman shoved away her dancing partner and ran off. From the pirate ship, a woman called out to her subordinate
"Konohamaru!" A young boy with a long blue scarf appeared behind her.
"Uh, y-yes, ma'am?"
"Who is the most beautiful of all on the East Blue?"
"Uh, that would be the captain of our ship, of course." The little kid answered nervously with a smile. The woman smiled as she slammed her 100% iron club down.
"Good answer." In contrast, she was anything but. Her width equaled her height and there was nothing beautiful of Iron Club Alvida, captain of the Alvida Pirates. "Hit them with all you got men!" They fired once again at the ship, damaging a mast in the process. They soon came right up against it parralels and boarded onto the ship. "Here we go, time to show them the terror of Iron Club Alvida, Lady Pirate of the Seas!" She signaled with her massive club. Once all her men boarded, she noticed that the little boy didn't cross ship. "Konohamaru, what are you doing?!"
"I'm still not very good at this!"
"Like I need you to tell me? Is it because you're always backtalking me all the time?!" She threatened with her club. The kid screamed.
"No, don't smack me with the club!"
"Too late, you're getting it!" She swung her club into his back, launching him onto the other ship landing on his stomach on a rail and flipped onto his back, his head hanging over the edge. He was mightily disoriented until he tried blinking away the pain and looked to see Alvida heading right towards him. He screamed in terror as he scurried out of the way, letting her smash her way into the ship. Running away from all the scary action, he soon found himself under the deck and looking into a room.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" He looked into what looked like a nurse's office of sorts and found a teenager in one of the beds, unconcious. He looked slightly purple and had out of control blonde hair. Next to him was a straw hat. "Who are you?"
The pink haired woman, now wearing a blue shirt, purple pants and a red sash fitting of pirates clothes used the ropes to board Alvida's ship. She landed gracefully before moving to one of the doors, about to open it when a man did, jumping back in shock.
"Huh, who-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as she instinctively punched him so hard his body knocked the door off its hinges, flew over the rails and hit the hull of the cruise ship before falling into the ocean.
"Oops. Didn't mean to sock him that hard." Her guilt only lasted a second. "Oh well, he'll drown so there's no need to worry about him." She went inside.
As Konohamaru hid in the nursery, a few of Alvida's goons noticed him as they were scouting the ship.
"Well, if it isn't our favorite coward." One with a striped white and blue shirt said. "Are you just hiding here missing all the action?" Trying to put on a brave face, he pointed to the blonde teenager.
"No way! I just found this guy knocked out! I was wondering what happened to him." One with a purple shirt and tattos on his right arm and over his eye looked at the unwell person.
"From the looks of it, he near looks like he drowned. Probably too much swimming or something."
"Well, let's take his stuff then." A tall, thin man wearing an orange shirt said. " I've been waiting to plunder something for myself." He approached the teenager and was about to search him, when he suddenly woke up and delivered a left hook to the underside of his chin, knocking him out.
"Keep it down. I have a stomach ache." The two men were startled by this sudden action. "Now, who the hell are you two?"
"Who the hell are you?!" They asked back. They each grabbed a sword from their hips. "Hold up; are you messing with us, kid? Don't you know we're vicious pirates?" The teen simply yawned and got up to look in the cabnets.
"Where's the… stomach stuff?"
"I'm talking to you!" The tattoed man yelled as each of them raised their sword to strike. Turning to them, he moved with enough speed to catch the swords by their flat sides, stopping their momentum. They gasped from his dexterity and strength as he snapped off a few inches of the tips of their swords and threw them up at the ceiling. He then punched both of them in the nose, knocking them onto their butts. Konohomaru kept his eyes closed throughout the whole thing until he was asked a question.
"Hey kid, do you know where the stomach medicine is?" He opened his eyes to see the teenager looking down at him.
"Who-who the hell are you?" One of the men asked in fright. He turned to the pirates.
"Me? I'm Naruto D. Uzumaki. Now get lost." The two men ran away lugging their unconcious comrade with them. "Now, where's that medicine." He then resumed looking for the right bottle while Konohamaru tried warning him.
"Quick, you need to hide! If they return with more of their buddies, they'll kill you!"
"I need medicine. It may not look like it but I really need to get something for my stomach ache and piss out all the seawater in me."
"Fine, I'll help you find some Papoid but why are you so calm about this?! There's about a hundred pirates ready to kill anything!" He questioned as he frantically looked for the stomach medication. After oddly six minutes of unnintientionally hearing hearing Naruto go number 1 in the bathroom, Kono trying to cover his ears and taking his medicine, they walked through the halls chatting with Naruto wearing the straw hat he had.
"Uh, my name is Konohamaru Sarutobi. My friends used to call me Kono for short. You're Naruto, am I right?"
"Yeah. Thanks for the help. I feel a whole lot better. From the looks of it, this ship is pretty neat."
It's a passenger ship being raided by pirates. Pirates under the command of Lady Alvida."
"Ehh, whatever. Are there like any small boats on this thing?" He asked placing his hands behind his head in a relaxed way."
"There might be a few."
"Good. Mine got sunk and I had nothing more than driftwood to stay afloat. It appears that someone here rescued me."
"So, are you a passenger or a... mini-pirate kid?" Naruto inquired, almost forgetting he was talking to a little kid. His question was left unanswered a few seconds before Konohamaru spoke up.
"I'm sixteen."
"What?! But you're so small, scrawny and toddler like?!"
"I'm not a toddler!" Kono defended annoyed. He sighed. "It was a couple of years ago when I stepped into a small fishing boat to catch my dinner, unaware that it was actually the ship of Alvida and her men. I have to be their cabin boy so that I can live."
"Have you ever thought of escaping?"
"Are you crazy?! There's no way I could do that, they would catch me! Just the thought of defying her makes me feel sick."
"Heh, your quite a coward for a six year old looking sixteen year old. Quite fitting."
"Hey, if I had the courage I'd set sail like you did." Kono retorted, tears appearing in his eyes. Naruto spotted one of the doors, looking different from the rest. He looked inside and found a food pantry room.
"Alright, food!" He barged right in and began eating all of the dry meat and papaya. Konohamaru closed the door behind them, hoping they weren't found.
"Say, why did you set out to sea anyway?"
"Oh, I'm a pirate. I'm going to become the Zokukage." Naruto said while chewing food. This horrified the fellow teenager. He wanted to become the Zokukage; the pirate shadow king?!
"Wait, you're serious?! You want to be the pirate shadow king, thus making you a pirate?"
"Yeah." He said as if it were obvious.
"Do you have a crew?"
"Don't have one yet. But I'll get one." He was caught slightly off guard with how quickly Konohamaru stood up to his face.
"That's impossible! To be the Zokukage you would have to acquire all the world's treasure! Every piece of gold, jewel, paper and land! You seek the One Piece! Pirates from all over are looking for it in all the Blue Seas! There's no way anyone like you could ever do it! There's just too many-!" He was punched in the back of the head into the floor.
"Sheesh, you're so annoying. I hate cowards such as yourself." He said with no sense of maliciousness or animosity, but was not holding back in honesty.
"Ow. Why did you do that?"
"Like I said, you're an annoying coward."
"Well, I'm used to that stuff. My shipmates abuse me a lot." Kono admitted with a chuckle of defeat.
"Look, I just don't care about if I can or can't do something. I'm doing it for the thrill of it. I've wanted to be the Zokukage since I was a kid. If I die, I die. It's as simple as that. Any dream worth pursuing is worth dying for, right?" This explanation shocked the young teen, leaving him speechless. Naruto then started walking to the door. "Well, time to find me a boat. You can come along if you'd like."
"Naruto?" Konohamaru asked, making Naruto stop from opening the door. "If I'm willing to die for it, do you think I can obtain it?"
"Obtain what?"
"Do you think I could ever join the marines?" Naruto sweated slightly, though not because of the kid.
"The marines?" Suddenly, Konohamaru stood up strongly.
"That's right! Catching bad guys is the only thing I ever wanted to do! It's been my dream since I was a child!"
("You still look like one.") Naruto commented silently to himself.
"Do you think I can do that?!"
"How the heck should I know?" Naruto honestly replied.
"Then I'm going to do it! I'm not going to be stuck here as a cabin boy for the rest of my life! I'll break out and catch Alvida myself!" At just that moment however, the ceiling above them gave way and Konohamaru had to jump out of the way from the debris.
"Who do you plan on catching, Konohamaru?" A fiendish woman asked. "You think this orange twig is going to help you?" Swords went through the wall surrounding Naruto's head, but they didn't startle him. Once Alvida looked at Naruto, she smugly grinned. "So I'm guessing you're not Sasuke the bounty hunter, are you?
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Konohomaru?!" Alvida called out. "Who is the most beautiful of all on the East Sea?" Just as the boy was going to answer, Naruto asked,
"Kono, who's that fat bitch?" Everybody stopped dead cold from hearing that ludicrous insult. Alvida's face went red and veiny as he vain pride was insulted. She raised up her club.
"You runt!" With a swing, she tried killing him but he sidestepped out of the way, letting the wood where he was standing be destroyed as he picked up Konohamaru and leapt out of the hole onto the deck. Surrounded by men with swords, he smiled. One tried attacking but he was kicked in the face. Another tried attacking from behind but Naruto swerved to deck him onto his back. He dodged an ambush of four swords at once, and sidestepped a goon who dived down from above. He grabbed that person by the head and threw him at the group. He felt happy with himself until he noticed there were twenty more guys behind him. He ran away in terror as he was chased by the mob of pirates. Upon coming up to a mast he instantly split into two copies of himself and went in opposite directions of left and right. The mob was perplexed as the teen just doubled in number. As Alvida was climbing out of the whole, she saw Naruto perform a unique trick.
"Split Split 32!" All of the sudden, he went from 2 to a group of 32 of the same person. All of the pirates were frightened and Alvida was surprised beyond belief. The entire group charged at the enemy pirates, and with their superior numbers; had pushed, shoved or threw all the other men overboard, leaving just Naruto who let all the other clones return to one of him, Konohamaru and Alvida.
"Naruto, who are you?" Kono questioned with wonder.
"I can create clones." Alvida then managed to get out of the whole and walked up to Naruto Uzumaki, towering over him.
"So, you've eaten the devil's fruits, have you?"
"Yep. The split split fruit."
"Aha. I heard rumors they existed but I never seen any evidence before today. You're more skilled than the average deck cleaner. Are you a bounty hunter?"
"Nope, a pirate."
"Ha, all by yourself on these seas?"
"I'll get a crew. Maybe tomorrow or a week from now. Maybe 10 people. Yeah, that sounds about right." Right then while nobody was looking, the pink haired woman was making her escape with her burlap sack filled with riches.
"Tell me then, if we're both pirate not under the same flag, that would make us enemies, am I right?"
"I don't really care about making enemies, honestly. It isn't my thing."
"Naruto, let's go. you saw how powerful her club is. In all these waters, she's easily the most..." Kono then remembered what Naruto said earlier.
"Go on, tell me." Alvida goaded. In a burst of courage, he shouted at Alvida,
"That your easily the most ugliest bitch of the sea!" Her eyes darkened in anger from that remark while Naruto started laughing.
"What did you say?!"
"I'm leaving you behind and I'm joining the marines, then I beat up scummy pirates like you!"
"Do you have any idea what you're saying to me right now?" The lady pirate asked in ill warning.
"Of course I do, and I'm going to do what I want! No one's going to stop me, and when I join the marines, and I'll catch your ass first!
"That's it kid! Die!" She screamed as she raised her club. While Konohamaru was prepared to die, Naruto stepped forward.
"Well said, I'll take it from here." As the club came down, he split into three clones and easily stopped it's momentum.
"What?!"
"Split Split..." Naruto said as he prepared a punch. "Punch!" He extended his fist and out from it, a line of thrusting arms multiplied in an extending line, hitting Alvida in the gut and was repeatedly hit there with no decreased force as she was punched hundreds of times in a row in the same spot rapid fire well past the horizon. Once she was gone, all of his extra extending arms disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto looked to the remaining men looking in awe and called out to them. "Hey you!"
"Yes?!" They responded in fright.
"Get us a small ship. We're leaving."
"Yeah, sure." They said.
"Thanks Naruto." Konohamaru said gratefully. Just then, cannonballs disrupted the moment and they saw marine battle ships nearby. "Oh man! We need to leave now or else I'll be associated with pirates!" The teen cried out. They then got on a boat, accidently splashed the pink haired pirate, briefly meeting eyes before splitting, and set off.
A little while later, Kono was talking to the laughing Naruto.
"So Naruto... you're really looking for the One Piece?"
"Sure am. Believe it."
"The people I've talked to call that the pirate graveyard.
"Right. That's why I need a crew. You guys mentioned someone. Sasuke, right?"
On a island not too far away, a man was stuck to a single pole. He only had one arm, and the one he had was tied and nailed to the top of the pole a few feet above the ground so his feet couldn't reach it. He opened his eyes to reveal red irises.
A/N: Okay, first off, that was not a crucifixion. There's no cross, it's just a pole. Second, I just figured that since it would be a bit more of a writing challenge to have him have one arm, and it would be more hardcore to have it nailed there and have him hanging there for the amount of time he did. Would you agree? Anyway, the devil fruit. As you can see, it has some similarity to Nico Robin's flower flower fruit or whatever it's commonly called in English translation. However, while she can sprout limbs on any surface and after the time skip maybe make a clone, along with sprouting limbs off of each other, the split split fruit is better at cloning since he can clone his whole body into multiple people literally instantly, the original doesn't feel pain if a clone is hit, and he can transfer his sentience to a clone so that any one of the clones becomes the true Naruto. However, the more he clones, the less time they have to exist with just two Naruto's lasting 24 hours. That's 512 clones for a little over 2 minutes. Not to mention that each clone can only take one or two hits before being defeated, regardless of Naruto's true durability strength. Tell me what you think. Sayonara.
