~A GOD'S JOURNEY ACROSS THE SEA~

A/N- Hey everyone, I'm back. Don't worry friends; I won't abandon my other story 'The Red Phoenix Arises Again'. It's just that, I'm facing a writer's block at this moment with that story. I'm having trouble how to advance the story. I'm also busy right now, because this is my final semester and exams are nearly here.

But there was also another project I started working. I had thought of making a Naruto and One Piece crossover previously but I didn't have a good plot. But a couple of weeks ago, I got an inspiration by a good crossover between Naruto and One Piece, 'Shinobi of the High Seas' by Kenchi618. His story is a brilliant piece of work. I was so impressed by that story that I started developing my own plot for that crossover.

So, here it is; my own crossover story of Naruto and One Piece. Since it is a sequel to the other story 'The Red Phoenix Arises Again', it'll follow the next instalment of Naruto visiting other worlds. The story will follow the One Piece story line all the way to the end, though the canon is not finished yet. I've already planned the whole storyline beforehand.

Even though it is a sequel, I've not included any of the spoilers of the previous story. So, everyone, give this story a chance.

CHAPTER ONE

Landing On a Strange World Yet Again

Somewhere in the Strange World-

"What's the matter with me?….landing on different worlds every time I try to jump?", muttered a irritated voice.

"Seriously though, does my skills have fallen this low?...or is it also the will of the Gods?", the voice complained.

The voice belonged to a handsome young man of 21 years old with spiky blond hair and deep cerulean blue eye. The man was wearing his trademark flak jacket with a red Haori. He had a head band with a Hitae-ate symbolizing 'Shinobi' on his forehead and was wearing black long sandals. The man was none other than Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto had been in misfortunes lately. He spent the last two years filled with people who can use magic as their weapon and day to day life. Though he learnt many things in that world and the trip was very exciting, he still was stuck for two years.

After two years of hard long battles, his protégé Harry Potter had finally killed the Dark Lord Voldemort. Naruto didn't take any active part in the battle but he was keeping people alive by helping them. He was also overseeing the battles so that the battle went smoothly.

After the battle, the Magical world stabilized and the mantle was passed to the Hero of the war. Harry Potter by then was considered to be the one of the greatest leader…so Naruto was convinced that his student could handle the situation and make the Magical world better. Naruto just planted the seeds of the stabilization to the world…the rest would be salvaged by the people themselves. So, his role was finished in that world.

So, at last he revealed his complete history to the people, and boy…were they surprised by his story…it was quite a tale. But everybody believed his story as they had witnessed firsthand his abilities. They could not deny what they've seen with their own eyes. So, Naruto said everything about himself.

After few weeks, Naruto bid his farewell to the people of the Magical world. Naruto learned many things from that world. He also learned the science of the Muggle people. He was very much interested about the thing called 'Computers' of the Muggle people…though his own world had computers. But, they were very low level. So, he studied extensively about the digital circuits and computer programming to the core. He was very confident in himself that if he ever were to create an operating system of his own, it would be a fifth generation of computer. Means it would be Artificial Intelligence. He had already seen the development of the humanoid robot 'Asimo' in the Honda laboratories.

But, enough about the magical world, currently Naruto's situation was not looking too good for him. He had tried again to jump from the world of magic to his original world and again he was pulled half way through. He had landed on a strange place yet again.

Looking around the place, Naruto had deduced that it was a small island. The Zetsu spores had also came with him. The island had very less trees and barren. There were small animals here and there but mostly the island was not habituated. There was not a single human soul available in the island. Very boring place to live.

Currently Naruto was seated on the sand of the beach and was complaining about the unfairness of his life. Naruto rumbled for few minutes and sighed. He muttered,

"Well, complaining would not give me any peace of mind. Well, let's get to business.", Naruto looked around, "First I need to gather as much information as possible about this world. Judging by the life energy of the world…most of the world is covered by water.", he deduced.

"Hmm…ocean..?...well, Zetsu..come on out.", Naruto ordered.

The ground shifted and a figure of white came out. It was Zetsu. Zetsu responded, "You called?"

Naruto looked towards the white clone and said, "Zetsu, I want you and your clones to watch the world and gather as much information as possible. I want to learn everything about this world. Of course my shadow clones will also help."

The Zetsu clone nodded and said, "Yes, alright. We need to know about this world anyway."

He slowly sank back into the ground. Naruto gave a yawn and stood up. He flexed his body and fingers and slowly crossed his finger making his trademark seal. He muttered,

Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Mass Shadow Clone Technique)

Suddenly, there was a massive explosion of smoke covering the entire island. After a few seconds, the smoke cleared and the island became visible. Five thousand shadow clones were littered around the whole island.

"Alright, everyone…you know what to do.", Naruto shouted to his shadow clones. The clones all nodded and instantly vanished into thin air.

Naruto smirked to himself and muttered, "Well, now that's over with….I need to go search for food. Fishing would be good actually.", he went back towards the island to make a fishing hook.

Somewhere in the East Blue-

Inside the hotel room rented for staying for some time, Naruto took a sip from the cup of tea and looked at the paper he was holding. After Naruto ordered his clones and Zetsu to gather information, he stayed behind in the island. One of his clones found the current island and summoned him. There was a small city in the island. The island was situated in the East Blue of the world.

Naruto mused, "Hmm..it has been three months already…", looking at the paper he muttered to himself, "So, according to this paper, the Hiken no Ace ('Fire-Fist' Ace) has joined the Whitebeard pirates. Tch…what a convenient timing."

After three months of relentless spying and gathering information, Naruto pretty much learned the core things of the current world. His clones and Zetsu clones were also positioned themselves to the important parts of the world. According the information he gathered, the world's power was divided into three factions.

The first was the World Government which governs over the 170 countries allied with it. The World Government was pretty much the ruling party of the world. They strongly believe in the idea of 'Absolute Justice'. They trained soldiers who were called Marines and they perform duties for the Government. They punish criminals, capture them and try to keep the peace within the world.

The second faction was the notorious group of outlaws known as pirates. The pirates were the group of people who believe in the idea of living free. Free from worldly burdens, free from labouring for the country etc. There were good as well as bad pirates. The World Government recognized some powerful pirates and gave them freedom for offering their help. They are known as Ouka Shichibukai (The Seven Warlords). The seven pirates that the World Government recognized as their allies could do anything but they can't disobey the Government.

The third group was the Revolutionary Army who completely opposed the idea of World Government. Their main goal was to overthrow the World Government and the centre of the army was the Revolutionary Dragon, the most dangerous criminal of the world.

The power of the world was balanced by three superpowers- the World Government, the Shichibukai and the Yonkous (The Four Emperors).

According to his information, the people of the world hadn't even finished discovering their whole world. The whole world was covered by oceans. There were four oceans covering the entire world- The East Blue, West Blue, North Blue and South Blue. The water of the four oceans doesn't interact with each other. The most dangerous sea of all was what known as Grand Line. The Grand Line was separated from the other four seas by the Calm Belt and the Red Line. The Red Line covered the whole world which was a huge wall which no ship can ever cross.

The notorious sea Grand Line was a treasure palace for the aspiring pirates. In the 800 years old history of the world, no one had ever conquered the Grand Line. Many had tried, but failed. But that changed when 24 years ago, an aspiring young pirate from East Blue known as Gol D. Roger finally conquered the Grand Line when he finally reached the final island Raftel. When that news fell into the ears of the people, it was a huge uproar. The entire world changed after that.

After Roger conquered Grand Line, he was hailed as the Pirate King by the people and started to call him Gold Roger. But after conquering Grand Line, he surrendered to the Marine and he was executed in his home city Loguetown of East Blue in front of many people. But before execution somebody asked him where he had hidden his most prized treasure 'One Piece'. He answered that if they wanted his treasure, then they could have it. He had hidden it in 'that' place. While keeping a huge grin on his face, Roger died.

As soon as Roger died, the aspiring pirates rejoiced and the whole era changed. It was 22 years ago. After Roger, the pirates who wanted One Piece went to the Grand Line one after the other and that lead to the current era which was known as the 'Great Pirate Era'.

So, that leads to the current predicament of Naruto. He put his hand below his chin and mused, "So…what to do. I have completely understood the current situation of this world. From what my clones found, the World Government can't be trusted."

He bitterly muttered, "After what happened to Ohara 20 years ago, it's clear that the world Government is hiding something. The 'Void Century' 900 years ago is still shrouded in mystery. The scholars of Ohara tried to discover the truth of the Void Century by studying Poneglyphs, The centre of it was Nico Olivia; but the Government put a stop to it by killing everyone in Ohara.."

He sighed and took a sip of tea and muttered, "Only one survivor from the whole carnage, child of Olivia, Nico Robin who was hailed as the 'Devil Child' by the Government.", he gritted his teeth and growled, "Those bastards in the World Government….who the hell gives an 8 years old child a bounty of 79 million Berries..?"

"And there is also this issue of Tenryubito (Celestial Dragons). The World Government hails the pirates evil when in front of their eyes….those so called Tenryubitos are abusing their powers by enslaving humans and fish-man alike. They kill what they don't like and if you ever go against them, then you have to forfeit your life. What assholes…!", Naruto growled.

He then calmed himself down and relaxed. He again took a sip and looked at the paper. The paper was sent by one of the Zetsu clones. There was also a wanted poster.

Naruto chuckled looking at the wanted picture, "This man looks like he is having fun. The 'Fire-Fist' Ace, who ate the Mera-Mera no Mi (Flare-Flare Fruit) is also the son of the Pirate King. What a lineage. Like father, like son I suppose. He is also the same age as me. We could get along just fine I suppose."

There was one thing I forgot to mention. The world also had supernatural powers. People could gain superhuman abilities by eating what people called 'Devil Fruits'. It gave the eater different kinds of abilities. It could give the eater the power to control the weather, create tsunamis, earthquakes, fire etc. One of the so called Devil Fruit users was 'Fire-Fist' Ace. There were three types of Devil Fruits.

First one was the Paramecia type. It could give people strange abilities like stretch your body like a rubber, magnetic power etc. The second type of fruit was Zoan type. It gave the eater the animal powers. The user could transform themselves into animals such as tigers, giraffes, wolves etc. The third type of fruit was the most powerful ones. These were Logia types. The Logia type of fruit gave the eater tremendous abilities. The user could manipulate the elements. Their bodies became impervious to attacks because of their liquid like bodies. They almost became invincible.

But there were tremendous weaknesses to the Devil Fruit users. Once they had eaten a fruit, they couldn't swim anymore. Sea water drains their powers. The Logia types were seemed invincible because of their liquid like bodies, but there was one type of power people can train in which can physically damage them which was the power of Haki (Willpower).

There were three types of Hakis. The first one was Kenbunshoku no Haki (Observational Haki) which gave the users the power of prediction. The user could predict the attacks of their enemies even before the strike. The second was the Busoshoku no Haki (Armament Haki) which gave the user invisible armour. They had the capability to physically injure any kind of opponents be it a normal human or Logia users. The third one couldn't be trained. People who could use this Haki were born with it. This was known as Haoshoku no Haki (Conqueror's Haki). This Haki was the power to intimidate your opponents. You could knock any opponent unconscious who had weaker mental prowess. The most powerful ones of the world often had this Haki. That's why they had so many followers. The Yonkou 'Red Haired' Shanks could do battle with the other Fruit users just by Haki.

Naruto shook his head and muttered, "I have already trained to acquire these Haki powers. Even Conqueror's Haki was easy for me. I even learned the martial arts techniques that the Marines use…the 'Rokushiki'. Though I don't really need these powers….but it could be useful. I already know that the most powerful man in this world Whitebeard is no match for me. But the powers are cool…especially the Conqueror's Haki. If I had known these techs sooner, I could've avoided many meaningless fights."

"Meh..whatever…now I need to plan out what I want to do in this world. Obviously my goal would be to overthrow the World Government same as the Revolutionary Army. But I'm going to it in a different way.", Naruto mused, "What to do…what to do….", he started taping his feet on the ground.

"Why not become a pirate?", a voice came from his side.

Naruto looked at the Zetsu clone that had just emerged from the ground and responded, "A pirate you say…?...hmmm….not a bad idea."

"But…how would becoming a pirate help me…?", Naruto tapped his chin in thought, "Maybe…I would try to become a Yonkou (The Four Emperors). Then I would have ample time to plan and execute it. I will also have many powerful followers. Obviously, I don't have any interest on the One Piece or even becoming a Pirate King."

The Zetsu clone said from the corner, "Naruto-sama, I have acquired something for you."

He presented a stone to Naruto. He raised an eyebrow, "This is..?"

"It's known as Kairoseki (Sea-stone). This stone emits the same energy as the sea. It can weaken Devil Fruit users.", Zetsu answered.

Naruto took the stone from Zetsu and examined it. After a few minutes, he grinned and said, "Zetsu, you've gathered a very useful thing here. I assume Marines use this stone to imprison the Devil Fruit users. Now I understand how notorious criminals can be imprisoned in the Great Prison Impel Down."

Zetsu replied, "Yes, I've seen handcuffs made of this stone. It can be also used as weapons. The 'White Chase' Smoker uses a weapon made of Kairoseki."

Naruto mused, "Hmm…very useful indeed. Yosh….Zetsu gather as much Kairoseki for me. I'm gonna need more of these." He gave his trademark grin.

Zetsu nodded his head and said, "Yes, Naruto-sama. So what are you going to do..? Are you really becoming a pirate?"

Naruto looked out in the window. A small breeze flew through the open window and fell onto Naruto's face. The hair on his face lifted up and his face glowed in brightness of the sunlight. Looking at the blue sea outside, Naruto smiled and said, "An adventure across the sea hah…sounds exciting isn't it?"

Zetsu replied, "Yes, it could be very interesting trip for someone like you who doesn't like to sit down in one place for too long."

"Hey…I take offence to that.", Naruto pouted.

"Anyway, since this era is basically a great pirate era, it would be good for me to be recognized by the world as a pirate. That way I can oppose the World Government subtly and when the right time comes, I will assault the World Government piece by piece and throw it down like a hurricane.", he said.

Zetsu nodded and said, "Yes, it seemed to me a good course of action. We can even ally ourselves to the Revolutionary Army without anyone noticing."

"A very good idea coming from you, Zetsu; yosh…it's settled then. I'm gonna become a pirate.", Naruto decided.

"So, what are the things a pirate needs…?.a ship, a symbol of some sorts, a Jolly Roger, crew members and lots of powers. Well power problem is already covered. So I need a ship and design of a Jolly Roger. Find some crew members and I'm ready to sail to Grand Line.", Naruto muttered.

Zetsu asked, "So, what kind of crew members you'll need?"

Naruto thought for a few minutes then replied, "Well, first and foremost I need a Vice-Captain. Though it can wait as long I the Captain remain in command. Second I need a navigator. I myself will need to learn how to navigate though. Then a shipwright to repair a broken ship, a doctor, some powerful fighters, a cook although I can cook myself, then I need weapon specialists, shooters and snipers, workers, strategists, generals, commanders and entertainers…he..he..he."

"That's a awful lots of people.", Zetsu exclaimed raising an eyebrow.

Naruto looked at Zetsu and said, "What..? Haven't you heard about the Yokous? They have so many people under them it's almost uncountable. Whitebeard has so many divisions that he needs commanders for each of them. I just learned that the 'Fire-Fist' Ace became the commander of his second division."

Zetsu replied, "Yes, well I almost forgot that you are gunning for the position of Yonkou. If that's the case, then I have no problem. I already know you can handle any kind of people you encounter."

Naruto chuckled, "You sounded like Kurama there. Worrying about me like that. Don't worry Zetsu….there is no one in this world who can even touch my hair."

"Are you calling yourself omnipotent?", Zetsu asked.

"Maybe or maybe not…who knows?", Naruto answered sagely. Then he chuckled, "Well, maybe there is someone out there in infinite dimensions that can defeat me, but in this world I'm pretty much a god. Hell, even Madara can wreck havoc in this world and no one would be able to stop him. Not Marines, not Whitebeard, not a soul. He would destroy this world."

"Well, you have your facts correct. Madara as a Juubi Jinchuuriki was frightening even to me. I was pretty loyal to him back then. But then you came along. You pretty much obtained the power that resembles the original power of the Rabbit Goddess Kaguya. The eye of the Juubi, power of the Byakugan, Rinnegan and Sharingan and the frightening power of the Shinju.", Zetsu replied shivering slightly.

"You're exaggerating a bit much. Hagoromo himself stated that my role was to give light to the steps that the future generation would follow. Just like his mother did long before. In which his mother failed, I was able to overcome the desire to do everything on my own; I trusted my comrades and that paid off. The ninja world is in peace right now. The transmigration of Ashura and Indra went to young Naruto and Sasuke. They are pretty much like brothers", Naruto said with a smile recalling the past.

Zetsu also grinned, "Yes, that was what you were hoping isn't it?"

Naruto said, "Yes….well enough about that. The crew is line out. Now, I need a strong, tardy ship…big enough to give trouble to the Marines, easily recognizable to the world that will represent me perfectly."

"Hmmm…it will be troublesome to order a ship. It will cost a big sum of money which I don't have the liberty right now. Then only option left is to make it myself. Although I can make anything easily with my Banbutsu Sozo (Creation of All Things), but I want to make it using my Mokuton (Wood Style) techniques.", Naruto mused.

"Yosh…I'm gonna make my ship from the ground up like other ships, but the wood will be my own creation. The Mokuton woods are created using chakra and they are very tardy. I'm gonna give a little tweak on the wood so that it could even withstand the blast of a cannon.", Naruto muttered to himself.

"Do you even know how to make a ship?", Zetsu asked from the corner rousing Naruto from his thoughts.

Naruto looked at him as if he grew a second head, "Of course I know how to build a ship. One of my clones is working in the Galley-La company as a shipwright. I'm gonna use that clone's knowledge and make an incredible ship which will not lose to anyone.", Naruto replied confidently.

"Oh…wow…I didn't know that.", the Zetsu clone replied with surprise evident in his eyes.

Naruto chuckled, "Yes, well…with the knowledge I gained from the previous world, I'll be designing this ship to be an impregnable fortress. I've decided to make my own computer, designing an operating system far surpassing anyone and connect it in my ship. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) will act as my navigator. I have also my clones spying in the labs of Vegapunk, so I pretty much knew the Governments new project 'Pacifistas'. The laser technology he invented will be very useful for me. I'm gonna enhance his technologies to the level that even he wouldn't recognize it."

"I also heard of the ancient weapons of mass destruction Pluton and Poseidon. Well my Bijuudamas (Tailed Beast Bomb) are more destructive than those weapons but I'm gonna design a new weapon system similar to those two. That will give my ship a terrible alias. It would be a weapon of disaster. How evil…!", Naruto laughed evilly.

Zetsu backed away from him slightly disturbed with a sweat drop. He tried to speak, "Ah…", and laughed nervously.

Naruto's terrible grin was still present and he started laughing hysterically. He calmed down and said looking at Zetsu, "Well, I'm not gonna aim my weapon to innocent people. I'm not so evil. But to those who practice the black art, beware of my weapon of mass destruction. You'll not hide from it…hahahaha."

After few minutes laughing like a maniac Naruto shook his head and said, "Well, then I've planned to make my ship in that island. The island I landed first arriving to this world. That is the perfect place for making my ship. Nobody comes there and I can work in peacefully. I'll come up with the design of Jolly Roger later but first I need to draw the layout of my ship."

He looked at the Zetsu who was silent and ordered, "Go, Zetsu, bring me lots of Kairoseki. I'm going to use those stones in my ship and weapons. I will even use the stone to make my bombs."

The clone of Zetsu nodded and replied, "Yes, Naruto-sama. I'm going to bring you Kairoseki. My other clones will also help you."

Naruto nodded, "Yes, now go. I have lots of work to do."

Zetsu sank back into the ground.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)

Two clones appeared beside Naruto. Naruto nodded to the two clones and said, "Well, let's get to work."

He and his clones gathered as much material and started making the blueprint of his ship. His dream ship would be a ship the whole world will recognize as the ship of the most dangerous man ever lived.

Few Weeks Later-

Four weeks had passed since Naruto decided to become a pirate dreaming of sailing to the Grand Line to wreck havoc. In those weeks, he and his clones worked tirelessly to make an incredible pirate ship in the island he first arrived. First he came up with the design of the ship and they made a dockyard in the island and worked from the ground up.

Naruto finished his final work on the ship and sat down laughing, "Hah…finally finished….it's an incredible ship.", he whistled.

He was giving it the final touch which was to paint the name of the ship on it. His cheek had black paint littered on it and he chuckled, "Well, those pranks I played on the Hokage Monument in my younger years hadn't been in vain I suppose. The experience made me a good painter."

He looked at the name of his ship which was painted in black and muttered, "This name fits this ship perfectly. Just like the city that vanished from the world, my ship will also be able vanish from the sight of people in the blink of an eye. Just like that city, this ship is a treasure cove. The knowledge needed to build this ship rivalled the library of Alexandria and that's why I decided to name my ship with another Greek city which vanished from the world 'the Atlantis'."

Naruto sighed and said, "The Atlantis, a famous name for the famous pirate.", he chuckled, "The alias of this ship will be 'Ghost Ship' because of its vanishing capability."

The ship he built was really a masterpiece. It was a work of art and science. The ship was twice the size of a Marine warship and had the spacing of a giant football field. The four masts that determined the ship's appearance were easily 80 meters tall and huge observation rooms situated over the masts. The sails were huge and couldn't be destroyed by any means. The ship had overall 15 living rooms and other general purpose rooms such as dining room, observation room, library, a discussion room, a dojo, laboratory, hospital, a stocking room etc. The captain's room was the largest and it hosted the most important part of the ship.

The biggest breakthrough Naruto did was to design the control room of the ship. This room was 'the room' which hosted the Artificial Intelligence Naruto designed. He really did accomplish his idea of making the ship sentient. He really created the most advanced computer before anyone and connected it as the control unit of the ship. The AI also had a voice to alert the crews of any dangers or if they reached any island. The AI would be able distinguish friends and foes and make its own decisions. It would protect the ship in the absence of the captain.

Naruto named the AI in memory his late mother 'Kushina'. But the avatar of the AI was the younger version of his mother. It was a cute little girl with flowing red hair.

Naruto was a seal master and he applied his knowledge of seals in his ship. Every bit of impossible things was made possible by the seal Naruto had invented and that's why his ship would be able defy the impossible. He already included barrier seals to protect his ship from external attacks. His AI can activate and deactivate the barrier of its own accord. His seals made it possible to extract energy of the sea to navigate the ship. His seals used the sea water as fuel and generate electricity for the function of the AI and the engines of the ship.

He made several seals that can extract liquid O2 and Hydrogen gas from sea water for the jet propulsion system he invented. He had seen the military use of jet planes and development of space shuttles in the previous world. So he decided to add that technology in his ship. By use of this technology his ship had defied the impossible. It would be able to fly across the sky. So, he had to change his initial plans and made a new one. After tireless works he finally came up with an idea. He made his ship transformable. His ship could transform its form to a submarine and even to a flying ship at the will of the AI. For flying, the system should be aerodynamic and so that's why he needed to transform his ship into another form.

For normal navigation throughout the sea, the ship would use the normal mode of navigation like other traditional ships, but if they ever came across the Calm Belt or in a place where sails don't work, he added the propeller system for moving the ship. Because of the jet propulsion system, his ship would be the fastest ship ever built.

Finally, the weapon system of the ship was incredible. There were normal cannons in the ship no doubt but the most dangerous type of weapon his ship had the laser shooters. He really did steal the laser technology of Vegapunk and added extra tweak on his system. The beams his weapons shoot were not normal. One beam had the power to rival the entire fleet of Buster Call. The most prominent weapon his ship had the weapon 'Jupiter'. This weapon of mass destruction was the rival of Pluton or Poseidon. Jupiter used the mass amount of chakra from the Shinju and created a beam of mass destruction. This beam rivalled the power of Kurama's Bijuudama which can annihilate an entire island in an instant.

Other than those things, the ship was a beautiful piece of work. It had a skull with bones in the front of the ship. The dock of the ship had large space and had grass covered all around it. There was a swimming pool and relaxation zone, a small amusement park and a small podium for the captain to give orders. There were places for gardening and even place for grow trees. In fact Naruto created several trees using his Mokuton ability. There was a big Sakura tree and other beautiful trees situated in the dock of the ship. There was a bathhouse like an Onsen (Hot Spring) where he created seals to regulate hot water for relaxation.

The dining room was also beautiful. There was a kitchen attached to it. The kitchen consists of some stoves which were also regulated by seals and a refrigerator. There was also a microwave oven.

After many days of thinking it over and over, Naruto came up with the design of his Jolly Roger. His Jolly Roger was a skull wearing a headband on its forehead. It had a ghost like appearance. The holes of the eyes were glowing green and the entire picture was slightly foggy. It had a creepy grin and the bones that were crossing x formation had slight protrusion coming of it. The protrusion were two three pronged kunais.

The Jolly Rogers attached at the top of the four masts were waving in the wind proudly symbolizing the future most dangerous pirate of the world. Naruto looked at them and sighed. He slowly stood up from his sitting position and walked towards his ship. He entered the captain's room and went straight into the bathroom to take a hot bath. After some time, he emerged from the bathroom and got dressed.

His cloths consisted of a high neck shirt unbuttoned from the top two, long pant and long black boots. He was also wearing Black Hand gloves and at last he attached his red sage Haori on his back. But there was a small symbol on the back of his Haori which was the symbol of Konoha village.

He strapped his Totsuka no Tsurugi (Totsuka Blade) on his back along with its scabbard and went out of his room. He entered the control room and looked around. He then looked at the front screen and ordered, "Activate, Kushina!"

Suddenly there was a slight tremor shook the ship and all the engines started working. A sound of computer starting hit on his ear and after that all the lights in the room immediately glowed. The control room was huge with many screens and buttons. The light on the screens glowed and letters started to appear. It was the start of rebooting.

After a few seconds of rebooting, some small laser lights came to life and they crossed out creating a holographic image of a little girl that started to appear in front of Naruto. Along with the girl, several 3d holographic screens also activated. The computer finished rebooting as the projection of the girl grew its form and opened its eyes.

The avatar of AI with flowing red hair looked at Naruto and smiled. She exclaimed, "It's good to be back, Captain."

Naruto also smiled. He looked at the avatar and found no mistakes. The image of the girl was so perfect that people would actually mistake her as a real person.

Naruto said, "Welcome back Kushina-chan. It is the second time I activated you isn't it?"

Kushina nodded. Naruto again said, "Well, the previous one wasn't perfect because of your distorted image. But I fixed the bug and now you're a perfectly functional AI. I'm not going to deactivate you anymore. As of now you've become my first crew member. From today you're my nakama (Friend)."

The image of the girl started dancing like a small child and hugged Naruto. She said happily, "Of course, Captain. I'm happy to be your nakama. You're my creator after all. You're like a father to me."

Naruto blushed and scratched the back of his head. He smiled and said, "Ahahaha…you're making me blush. In reality you're my mother Kushina-chan. I've designed you to resemble my real mother."

Although the image of the avatar had no physical form, Naruto could interact with her physically. Naruto would be the only one who could touch her.

Kushina blushed cutely and said, "Now…you're making me blush, Captain. So, what's the plan?"

Naruto took the Captain's seat and ordered, "Zetsu come on out."

A white Zetsu clone came out and answered, "Naruto-sama, what's the matter?"

Naruto said, "Zetsu, I'm going to give you your previous form…the combined form of black and white Zetsu. But this time, the black Zetsu will be my will. You're going to be my second crew member."

The clone nodded and gave his right hand to Naruto. Naruto touched the hand and the entire hand started to darken. After a few moments, the half of the clone became black and the other half remained white. The Zetsu transformed and became his trademark form of Aloe Vera like structure.

The black Zetsu said, "Thank you Naruto-sama for giving me form."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes, Black Zetsu. Your role in this ship is to oversee every bit of work. You're the temporary Vice-Captain until I find a suitable man for the position."

He then looked at the AI avatar and said, "Kushina-chan, you must obey his orders…is that alright?"

The red haired girl answered happily, "Of course, captain. I'll listen to the orders of the Aloe guy."

The Black Zetsu fumed and muttered, "Why must Captain create a brat for an AI?"

The black Zetsu had slightly original Naruto's personality. So, he was slightly emotional than Madara's black Zetsu.

Naruto laughed and said, "Ahahaha….you remind of myself Kushina-chan. I had also the same impression of Zetsu when I first encountered him. He was allied with Obito back then. I also refereed him an Aloe guy."

"Well, then now it's time to work. Kushina-chan, what is the first island we need to go?", Naruto asked.

Kushina's eyes glowed and letters started flowing and after 5 seconds she answered, "It is a small island. The island is currently ruled by some fish-man pirates. I think his name is Arlong."

Naruto looked towards the screen where Arlong's picture appeared courtesy of Kushina and muttered, "Arlong….hmm…a comrade of Jimbei, the Shichibukai…previously of Sun Pirates lead by the hero Fisher Tiger."

"I've heard that he is a very brutal person. He hates everything to do with humans. For a slight mistake, he had completely obliterated a village in the island.", white Zetsu said.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and said, "Now…that's not good. For the mistake of corrupt people, one shouldn't involve innocent people just to show his superiority. That's hypocrisy."

Kushina said looking at the photo of the village which was obliterated by Arlong, "Hmm…from what I know, this Arlong thinks his race is superior to human and he believes killing every human would prove his superiority even more."

"Hmph…as if he could do that. He was barely left alive by Admiral Kizaru when he tried to rebel against the humans. No matter what he tries, he can't do anything. There are much more powerful people out there in the Grand Line.", white Zetsu said.

Naruto smirked and said, "Now, I understand his reason for coming to East Blue. The East Blue is the weakest of the four seas. So, for someone like him, it's easy to mark his name in the people's minds by slaughtering weaker humans. In the East Blue, there isn't anyone who can rival him. Not Buggy the Clown, not Don Krieg and not even the Marines. 'Fire-Fist' Ace might kill him but he is in the Grand Line and I don't think he intends to come back in the East Blue anytime soon."

"But still, I can't let that fish-man roam free to slaughter innocent people. The people of the island are in constant fear from him and they haven't had the time of their life.", Naruto muttered.

Zetsu said, "I heard he had been living in that island for last 8 years and slaughtered many people. He collects money from every human on that island even from children and old men who can't even work."

"So, that's more of a reason to eliminate him.", Naruto said.

Naruto then looked towards Kushina and asked, "Kushina-chan, are all the engines functioning properly?"

The red haired AI answered, "Captain, I need more time to scan the entire system. You've included so much files and information in my hard drive, I'm having trouble to scan everything in short amount of time."

Naruto sighed and muttered, "I feared this would happen. Kushina-chan, please forgive me. I should have thought of the speed of the processor before integrating it into the system. But I am in the verge of completing the new high speed processor and this will skyrocket your performance. I just need few more days. Please wait, alright Kushina-chan?"

The AI frowned and asked, "Are you going to deactivate me again? It's not a pleasant experience Captain."

Naruto shook his and answered, "No…Kushina-chan. Didn't I tell you I'm not going to deactivate you anymore? I just have to interface the processor with the old processor. The two processors working simultaneously will boost your speed tremendously. So there is no reason to deactivate you for such trivial matter."

Kushina smiled and said happily, "That's alright Captain. Two minutes left to complete the scan."

Naruto nodded and looked at Zetsu, "Oi, Zetsu…have you gotten the items I asked for?"

The white Zetsu answered, "Yes, Captain. I've placed those in your room."

Naruto nodded and said, "Good work. Now only thing left to do is to integrate those in Kushina."

The AI looked at Naruto curiously, "Captain, what items are you talking about?"

Naruto looked her and answered, "Kushina-chan, I've included the navigation system into you isn't it?", Kushina nodded.

"Well, your system uses the Radar network and compass for navigation. But in the Grand Line those do not work due to the magnetic irregularities. Therefore, in Grand Line people uses a special type of compass known as Log Pose which can memorize the magnetic property of a certain island. This compass needed time to set and after waiting for few days, it will point towards the next island as it memorizes the magnetic property.", Naruto said.

Naruto then pointed towards Zetsu and said, "I asked this Aloe guy to acquire some Log Poses and Eternal Poses for certain islands. Oh…I almost forgot about the Eternal Pose. These are special versions of Log Pose that shows only the direction of the island it memorizes. You can find the island it points from anywhere in the world."

The red haired AI looked at Naruto in awe. She exclaimed, "Wow, Captain…you are so smart. You've gotten these informations even before setting foot in the Grand Line. It's like you are a library of your own creation."

Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, my Shishou (Master) was a spy. So, I learned from him that information is the key to winning a battle. Knowledge is power. That's why; I try to gather as much information about anything before diving towards it."

Zetsu nodded and said, "Yes, Jiraiya-sama was the greatest spy master in the entire history of ninja. He could acquire information about you even before you realize. That's why he was so much dangerous. He knew about the opponents' weaknesses even before the fight."

The AI listened in rapt attention in what Naruto and Zetsu were saying. She exclaimed, "Wow…your Sensei sound like an incredible man."

Naruto smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes, he was. He taught me how a shinobi should live."

Kushina suddenly stood up straight and her eyes glowed green. She said in a robotic voice, "Scan complete. Activating all engines."

All the engines activated simultaneously and another tremor shook the ship. After few seconds, the AI's eyes' returned to normal. She looked at Naruto and said,

"Captain, all engines are working properly. We are ready to go as you command."

Naruto flexed his finger and said grinning, "Finally, we can start our journey."

Naruto stood up and stood in front of his AI and Zetsu and exclaimed in a loud voice, "Alright, you maggots. From now on, we are known as the 'Dark Ghost Pirates'; the most dangerous pirate group to ever sail into Grand Line. So, seat tight and enjoy the ride."

"Let's sail out."

The red haired AI excitedly said, "Aye, aye Captain."

She again said, "All the sails are unfurled. Our first destination is Arlong Park."

Naruto sat down on the Captain's seat, Zetsu by his side and the AI jumping up and down excitedly. The ship's anchor was pulled back automatically and the ship started to sail towards the Arlong Park.

The pirate ship 'the Atlantis' started to advance cutting the blue water of the vast ocean East Blue towards Grand Line carrying within, the strongest man ever lived. The world of One Piece would never be the same again.

Well, what do you guys think? Is it a unique idea? Or, someone has already thought of it. You guys can let me know.

I'm writing currently the second chapter, but it won't be finished early. Even though I have to study for the exams, I can't help but write the story. That's why I posted this story, because I wanna know your responses. After my exams are over, I'll be updating this story and the other one in full speed. So, bear with me folks.

So, not much to say. Give me lots of reviews guys.
