I DONT OWN NARUTO OR ONE PIECE...or any other things I may use in this fanfiction.

Okay first fanfic a little nervous about this but oh well why not give it try. This story is gonna be set in the One Piece world for the most part. Naruto is gonna have some ninja abilities, but not to many because I plan on giving him a devil fruit at some point. Naruto will be getting trained by some very powerful people in this so naturally he will be somewhat of power house though he will not be able to contend with people like Whitebeard or even shanks himself.
Naruto Will be joining the Straw Hat crew eventually. Luffy will also be a bit smarter and stronger as I do not enjoy his struggles with chumps like don kreig and kuro the cat guy or whatever. There will be some other themes from other shows but nothing major. Soooo Lets get started.

'Thinking'

"talking"

"Beast talk"

'Beast thinking'

(Leaf Village 6 years after the Kyuubi attack, 9 at night.)

"Get the little demon he went this way!" Shouted a villager chasing after a young boy with blond spikey hair as bright and gold as the very sun and blue eyes that would make the various oceans of the grand line jealous. He was clothed in what looked to be some beat up black shorts and a black t-shirt with a orange swirl in the middle.

'Shit shit shit" Naruto thought as he ran through the village using his parkour skill's he had developed from running from the villagers. Though to him it was running as fast as he could unaware he was actually channeling chakra into his body forcing it to move faster. He eventually got to a strange place he'd never seen before, he looked to his right and saw a strange stone with names on it. He was about to read some of them but heard villagers coming closer and closer. when they saw him he started to take off.

"What the hell is wrong with you people" Said the little boy before he was stopped by a bat to the side of his head, cracking his skull courtesy from a villager that had snuck up behind him.

"AH GOT THE LITTLE SHIT" Shouted another man as the villagers began surrounding the boy. "W-why?" The little boy barely croaked out before black consumed his vision as he fell unconscious.

That didn't mean the villagers stopped. Oh no that was just the begging after about a hour viciously beating the boy the crowd began to disperse, except for about three men that were not quite done with the boy.

"So what do think we aught to do with this little shit" Said one of the villagers looking at the body of the boy thinking he was dead. "Hell we cant leave it here if Sarutobi found his body he would stop at nothing to find us. The old monkey is a demon lover after all." Said another man as the others nodded knowing it to be the truth. He looked at the river close by and an idea struck him like the bat he used to hit the boy over the head with. "Lets toss his little ass in the river and let him be washed away!" "Perfect come on!" Said the other as they grabbed his body tossing his body in and watching it flow down stream. They didn't notice the body turn over and the boy take in some light breaths.

(half an hour later in the forest of death)

A hand grasped the side of the bank and slowly pulled himself up as he flipped onto his back in pain. Taking in painful breaths letting him know his ribs were at least cracked if not broken. "W-w-why does it always happen today" The boy said and began to slowly sniffle and cry while he was laying down in the dirt. That abruptly stopped as he heard a voice in his head.

"Enough crying boy." Said a phantom voice.

"W-what? Who's there" The boy struggled turning his head looking for the voice. "Close your eyes and focus on my voice boy" Said the phantom voice. Naruto did as instructed and soon found himself inside a sewer with water to his knees. He looked around then saw giant bars, straining his eyes he then saw to giant orbs of red with a black slit in the middle. Then it hit him, 'HOLY SHITBALLS! ARE THOSE EYES' He shouted in his head (AN: or would that be his inner head of his head. Ahhh idk it reminds me of inception.) "W-What are you?" He asked shocked to his core at the massive eyes he was looking at. Then the beast came out of the shadows and showed his full size. About the size of a mountain maybe a bit bigger.

"I am the Kyuubi, and due to that little sharingan bastard, your father was forced to seal me inside you." Said the mountain of a fox.

"W-wait you said my father sealed you? but I thought you were supposed to be dead?" Naruto said in shock. "Do I look dead to you? No obviously not but I am not here to tell you such irrelevant things. I am here to give you a chance at a new life a new begging if you will. I will send you to a place were no one will hate you because of me and the glares and beating will stop for the most part I am sure." Said Kyuubi shocking the boy with hope filled eyes now.

"What do I have to do please I'll do anything!" Said the little ray of sunshine with hope filled eyes.

"Rip off the seal my boy and I will do this for you I give you my word as a demon fox" Said the beast. As Naruto ran up to the seal being lifted up by water to the seal and began tearing it off until it was completely gone as the bars disintegrated and the fox walked up towering of Naruto. Then he felt the presence of two people behind him and a warm embrace from behind. "Minato, Kushina good to see you both again old friends" Said Kyuubi as Naruto turned around in the peoples grasp to see his father the fourth hokage and a beautiful red haired woman he could only assume to be his mother.

"T-Tou-san, K-Kaa-san?"Naruto stuttered out as he was held in a vice like grip and he herd the beautiful voice of his mother "That's right Naru-kun" Said Kushina as she looked Naruto over and smiled. "Your such a cutie pie just like your dad was when he was your age" Said Kushina with blushing Minato to the side doing his happy dance in his head.

"What happened how come you two left me?" Naruto said a bit teary eyed. Minato and Kushina both looked at Naruto heart broken as Minato then looked Naruto in the eyes. "Naruto you must understand there were forces at work that we could not predict. There was man the night of your birth that attacked and was able to stay a step ahead of in every move I made. In the end I almost lost to him but I was able to kill him with my rasengan." (AN:okay full blown rasegan to the your back would not only snap your spine like a twig but would turn your insides into mush especially by its creator and a pissed off one at that.) "But the damage was already done and Kyuubi was in a state of panic so I had to use the reaper death seal to seal him inside of you. When I tried he attacked in panic of being sealed and who could really blame some one for not wanting to be sealed up again, but he ended up hitting me and Kushina-chan with on of his claws piercing us. Please Naruto don't blame kyuubi." Naruto then nodded his head to everyone's surprise "its ok I understand" He then smiled at the Kyuubi.

"I hate to be the barrer of bad news but neither of your wishes were completed. If anything the exact opposite happened" Said the Kyuubi as he showed the two all the memories of their son. Which brought them to tears constantly apologizing to the little blond boy.

"I am so sorry my son" Said Minato as he was shaking with anger as he held onto his wife and son in a vice like grip with tears forming in his eyes.

"I-its alright Tou-san. Now I know why you sealed him inside me" Naruto said looking at the Kyuubi. "And I know you had a good reason to and plus he's a really guy or ahh fox. definitely one of the nicer people I've met and he's going to send me to a place where I can have a fresh start!."

Now that caught Minato and Kushina's as the looked at the kyuubi with a look that said 'Explain or you'll be the no tailed fox'.

Kyuubi sweat dropped a bit at the look he was getting. "whoa whoa calm down you two. You both saw the life he lived here I'm going to send him to another world where no one will know of me and he will be free to choose his own path. Naruto already agreed with me and ill be there to watch for him so you wont have to worry about him to much." The Kyuubi said hoping not to be on the receiving end of these two.

"Alright Kyuubi as long as Naruto wants this right Naruto!" Said Kushina as she looked to see him nodding happily.

"Well then before we go Naruto since we don't have that much time we are going to impart some knowledge on you with some of our skills. ok?" Said Minato as Naruto nodded a bit sad at hearing they would have to go.

Kushina and Minato both put a hand of theirs on a shoulder of Naruto as they channeled some of there knowledge into Naruto. Kushina channeled her knowledge and skills of her swordsmanship into Naruto along with some things to know about the sea and a couple of water justu just in case he needed it, since she was from a place surrounded by water she had learned a bit as a little girl. She also gave Naruto a quick how-to on being a gentlemen to the ladies. Minato put some of his training method's for chakra control and wind elemental training since he could tell Naruto would at least have that element. He also imparted some sealing knowledge just enough to make some storage seals and maybe some explaining on explosive seals.

"W-whoa t-that's a lot of stuff I just learned" Naruto said as he looked up to his to smiling parents. As they leaned down and kissed both his cheeks and hugged him.

"Naru-chan remember find a girl like your Kaa-san" Said Kushina as Minato the spoke up. "And become strong man like your old man was and know no matter what path you choose we will always support you no matter what. We believe in you and above all else." Then they both looked at him and said in unison "We love you with all our hearts." As the slowly started to fade away.

"I LOVE YOU TO KAA-SAN TOU-SAN AND ILL MAKE YOU PROUD AND SHOW THIS NEW WORLD WHAT NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKAZE CAN DO!" Naruto yelled with tears streaming in his eyes, as he watched them slowly disappear. "T-thank you Kyu-"

"Kurama. . . my name is Kurama I only give my name to those I trust boy and with what I have seen you go through and to still be loyal to the one that caused it, you truly are Kushina's child." Said Kurama as he grinned a bit seeing the million dollar smile on Naruto. "Does that mean were friends?" "Yea kid I guess it does now get some rest cause after tomorrow were blowing this ramen stand" Said Kurama with grin of his own.

(Next Night forest of death)

Naruto now had on a black hoodie with a red swirl on its back and a red stripe going down each sleeve, he had on black and white camouflage khaki pants with black ninja sandals. His hoodie was off showing his excited face as he was ready to leave to this new world as he picked up his black back pack (Like Ace's just black) Where he had a couple of scrolls with food and clothes sealed inside, also a couple wind jutsu scrolls he had stolen since that was what his dad showed him in his memories.

"Alright kid keep a good grip on that bag cause WERE OUT A HERE!" Kurama yelled as Naruto was consumed in a bright light that lit up the whole forest as he smiled Naruto could see light flashing past him as he then began to feel like he was falling faster and faster he tightened his grip on his bag as he saw a brighter light at the end of the tunnel of lights coming towards him.

(East Blue 3 PM)

And just like that Naruto was falling from the sky and all he saw was. . . .blue all ocean everywhere. "AHHHHHHHH" Naruto was screaming like he was a banshee as he plummeted towards the ocean. He then saw what looked to be a black. . .thing? "Naruto! Try and aim your body towards that thing. I think that's a ship and you need to get on unless you want to drown in this ocean! HURRY!" Said Kurama with a sense of urgency.

Naruto then did as he was told and tried to move his body where he was going towards the ship though he missed by a some he still go in the general vicinity of the ship. Naruto slammed into the sea creating a giant splash. As he went deeper into the sea he smack a weird scaled object as he looked at what he hit his eyes widened the size of dinner plates as he saw a giant sea monster it must have been the size of the whole hokage building and then some, he was with out a shadow of a doubt scared shitless. "HOLY SHIT!" He yelled as bubbles came from his mouth he kicked off the creature going to the top of the water as fast as he possibly could.

Eventually he finally broke the surface taking a deep breath as he looked around as saw the giant creature also breech the surface towering over him. "H-Holy shit I'm gonna die" He said as the creature let out a mighty roar and was coming down to devour the boy. Just then the creatures head got impacted by big black flying ball and exploded on impact knocking said creature back into the ocean.

OI! KID GRAB THE ROPE" Naruto turned to see a rope fly right in front of his face as he grabbed the rope with both hands while hanging onto his back pack. He felt the rope tug and pull as he was being pulled closer to the ship as he began to get pulled up onto the ship he grabbed onto the railing and fell over the side onto the ship deck.

Naruto fell onto his hands and knees breathing hard as let go of his bag. "W-what was that thing?"

"That kid was a sea king and pretty small one though" Naruto looked up to the voice to see sandals, some brown pants with a weird yellow design on them, then a red sash around his waste holing a sword on his right side, this followed by a white button up shirt with some buttons undone from the top a black long sleeve trench coat that the guy didn't have his arm in he just let it hang off him like a cape. It covered his left side so you couldn't see his left arm and then finally Naruto looked up to see the man with red hair and three slash marks going across his face.

He looked around seeing a man with black hair a black V-neck t-shirt with a yellow sash around his waste holding a weird looking thing on his right side. He had white pant's and black boots.

He then saw rather round man with round glasses eating a piece of meat he had. The man had a green and white striped shirt with matching bandanna, on his head with white pants and red shoes.

Then he saw a dirty blond curly headed man with dreads (AN" not sure what to call his hair style just look him up if you wanna get a better idea) and bandana wrapped around his forehead with the name Yasopp on it. he had on a blue button up shirt that had a few buttons undone from the top and grey pants and brown shoes. Naruto noted he was kind of funny looking to.

"T-thanks for saving me back there I really appreciate it. I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze by the way." Naruto said getting up and putting his hand out to shake Shanks's hand.

Shanks accepted and shook his hand looking at the little kid with interest and started giggling like a little kid. "Fishcake? your name is fishcake HAHAHAH" Shanks started bursting out laughing as Naruto grew a tick mark. "OI IT MEANS MAELSTROM YOU BUM!" Naruto yelled in frustration.

"Hey kid don't blow a gasket I was messing with yea. The name is Shanks by the way and these are my crew mates." He said gesturing to the crew around him. Then pointed to the man with a black pony tail. "That's Benn Beckman my first mate. Right now your on the Red haired pirate ship Mr. Maelstrom" Shanks said mockingly bringing another tick onto Naruto's head.

"But what I want to know is what a kid like you is doing out in the middle of the East Blue" Shanks said getting a little more serous which put Naruto on guard. "ummm you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you and some of its kind of personal. I don't want everyone to know about my past." Naruto said and got an amused grin from Shanks and his crew.

"Well then how about you just talk to me, Benn, Roo and Yasopp I'll personally vouch for each one of them. Not that I wouldn't for my whole crew but its somewhere to start with" Shanks suggested.

Naruto looked at them all a little skeptically 'OI Kurama should I trust these guys?' Naruto though in his head. "Yea kit I can sense evil or foul intent, this man has neither of those and I can honestly say this man holds the same aura as your mother you can trust him." Said Kurama as Naruto nodded internally. He then looked up to Shanks and nodded.

"Alright kid come on to my captains quarters we can talk in private there" Shanks said as he led the bunch into his quarters and offered Naruto a seat where he accepted and looked as the group sat around the room ready to listen to his story.

Naruto told them about his past in the village and being kicked out of the orphanage only almost get beaten to death on his fifth and sixth birthday not to mention the other times he was beaten or mistreated. It was safe to say the men were pissed, no beyond pissed if they had it their way they would go and raise the leaf village to the ground.

The aura coming from the men in the room were down right deadly. He then went on to tell them about the fox in his gut and how he got to meet his parents at least one time. He said he wanted to get strong so he could protect himself and his precious people. He went on to say he wanted to make a name for himself and that he would stop and nothing until the world knew who he was and respected him. He also told Shanks what his mom told him about finding a girl, which really lightened the mood and got the man giggling like school again.

"hehehe momma's boy" Shanks said only to get a grin from Naruto as yelled "AND PROUD OF IT MY KAA-SAN WAS AWESOME. Her nick name was the red death and feared by all the nations in my world" Suddenly Shanks felt a shiver go down his spine as for some reason the image of Kushina cracking her knuckles evilly popped in to his head.

"N-n-Naruto y-your mom didn't happen to have long red hair d-did she?" As Shanks prayed the kid said no but to his unfortunate surprise. Naruto nodded yes. "Yea. How did you know?" Naruto asked curiously. "I t-think she just threatened me." Naruto was rolling on the floor laughing saying that sounded like her. Kurama was also rolling on the ground in his mind as he laugh and the red headed mans situation.

Naruto then got up wiping away some stray tears from laughter as he go a bit more serous and looked at the four men in front of him. "Please I need all the help I can get and I know you four are especially strong the Kyuubi told me he can feel the strength coming off of you guys."

That got the four men's attention as they all looked at each other with a puzzled look. The all exchanged looks for a couple of minutes till they all nodded at each other. Shanks then smiled him. "Alright kid well train you".

Naruto was about to jump for joy but shanks cut him off "But I want you train in all the things your parents gave you before you begin learning from us got it?" He was soon impacted on his chest by crying little blond boy. "Thank you thank you thank you." Naruto kept repeating as he smiled as Shanks smiled at him and patted his head a couple times "No problem kid just know were gonna work you into the ground and back to one of the best pirates in the world."

Naruto then had a confused look on his face. "eh what's a pirate Shanks?" Shanks sweat dropped at that then began to explain what being a pirate was all about. He then went on to tell him of the Navy and World Government and how there were good and bad people in each of them. He also told Naruto if after he trained and wanted to be a Marine they would still gladly help him. He simply said to hell with the world government and there sense of absolute justice and what kind of asshole goes around saying that all the time.

(Somewhere in the Navy HQ)

"AACHOOO!" Akainu sneezed "Ohhhh Akainu not catching coooolllldddd I hope. Maybe you've been spending to much time with Aokiji " Said Barsalino "grrr shut Kizaru" Akainu said annoyed.

(Back with the Red Haired Pirates on a abandoned island about 5 years later)

Naruto had done just as Shanks said and worked endlessly on the lessons his parents had laid out for him he was at least chunnin if not special jounin in terms of ninja raw strength. His chakra control was getting better and he was working on water walking as he could walk or run with the ship for a couple of days before he had to get back on the ship due to exhaustion. His seal work was just where it was going to be forever where his dad stopped the instructions. He could make explosive tags and storage seals pretty easily although he wanted to be able to do it a bit faster to the point where he could find a way to slap a explosive seal on some one like his father did with his Harashin seal. He had gotten down his elemental manipulation to the point where he could cut a bolder in half pretty easily now just had to cut a water fall in half. Which would have to wait till the next island they where on cause this one did not have a water fall unfortunately. He had already learned to do a few justu like the "Wind blade, Vacuum bullet, Great breakthrough."

He had even gone as far as to make his own technique. He called it "Impact" He used his wind chakra to build up pressure in his hand or feet and create a vicious impact. He could already break would but his goal was to dent or break steel.

Now he was just working on his stealth by playing pranks on his surrogate father Shanks much to Shanks's irritation. "OI NARUTO WHERE ARE YOU, YOU LITTLE PUNK. WHY IS MY SHIRT KILL ME NEON ORANGE!"

Shanks stomped around the island looking for the little ninja pirate but much to his dismay, he could not find him. 'Hehehe I know how to get you, you little bugger.' Shanks thought to himself "ahhh fine then I'm just gonna have the ramen Roo made for you" Suddenly a golden mop of hair was in front of him. "ROO MADE ME RAMEN!?" Naruto asked happy as could be only to be put in a head lock only it was Shanks legs around his neck. (AN: If you've seen it think of what Deidara did to Tobi but noogied instead of choked.) "Damn right he did but first your gonna get a super noogie of doom from me!" Naruto began to struggle but it was no use as Shanks noogied until there was a slight bald spot on the top of his head.

Shanks got up and patted himself off with his hand as he looked and the boy rubbing his head and smiled. "Come on squirt lets go get some ramen"

He patted the boys head as he walked with him. "OI Shanks umm I was wondering since most of the stuff my parents have taught me, could you help me with my swordsmanship?" Naruto asked nervously as Shanks raised an eye brow at this not knowing the boy wanted him to teach him swordsman ship since his mother in all aspect could probably beat hawk eye in purely swordsman like duel.

"Well I thought you want to learn from your mom scro-" "I have learned from her!" Naruto interrupted looking at him a bit saddened by what he figured out.

"But what I realized is that her style it flows so smoothly and needs you to be completely flexible and as fluent as the sea. While I can do it for the most part it just doesn't feel right to me you know what I mean? I just hope she's not upset with for not using her style." Naruto said a bit down trodden at the fact he didn't want to use his kaa-sans style.

He then felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to Shanks with a grin on his face "Hey kid if there is one thing about moms that I know they will always be proud of their son. So I know she not upset in fact I think she would be proud to know that can realize a style isn't right for you even if it is hers".

Shanks then smiled as they got back to camp to see everyone partying. "HEY MR. MAELSTROM! welcome back the ramen is still warm buddy!" Naruto quickly dove in face first taking on the 20 bowls of ramen with gusto. Little did he realize that the Captain had the crew spike the ramen, so by the time he was ready to stand up and go to bed, well he couldn't really stand.

(3 months later different abandoned Island (with a waterfall))

Naruto had taken to Shanks's training like a champ. He had even take to wearing a red sash around his waste as he had a small sabre like Shanks sword except the handle was red. This sword was only temporary as he would grow out of it and he was having another one made by a master swordsman due to favor from Shanks he was having the blade made from the strongest steel with sea-stone also made in the blade. He kept smiling as he be had taken his hoodie, shirt and sash off as he was standing on the rocks behind the waterfall to stand on so it was like double the training, now he was attempting to cut the waterfall in half for what seemed like the thousandth time.

'I'll get it this time I have to we've already been on this island for far to long I cant risk being a burden to the crew I could never forgive myself' Naruto to thought to himself. And with a mighty roar and all of his power channeled his wind chakra in into the blade as he severed the waterfall.

"YES YES YE-" His cheering was abruptly stopped as he saw what looked like a opening where the water met the waterfall as water began to flow from the water fall it was obscured from view once more. Not that it stopped him from jumping into the river that the waterfall was flowing into.

Naruto began swimming into the waterfall as he pull himself into the opening. He began walking into the darkness as he could barely see anything. 'OI Kurama I could use some help here' "Fine be carful though I sense something. . . strange in here" Said Kurama. 'Well that cant be to good, I hope nothing tries to eat me' Naruto thought as his eyes glowed red with black slits in the middle as he was able to see perfectly now. He back going deeper until he found a black tree and a odd looking fruit. It was black and had swirls going all around it with top like a pineapple like top.

'T-This must be a devil fruit...should I eat it?' "I say take it back to Shanks and see what he says about I'm sure he'll let you keep it if you want" Said Kurama as Naruto nodded then grabbed the fruit and used a wind blade on one of his figures to cut the fruit off the tree. Then he ran out of the cave diving into the late a swimming back to shore. He then dried off and put all his clothes back on and began running to Red Haired Pirates camp.

Once he got to the camp he was a bit out of breath as his training had also taken a toll on him as he looked for Shanks and saw him sitting under a large umbrella. "OI Shanks I did it I cut the water fall in half"

Shanks looked up to see Naruto right hand behind his back making him wonder what was behind but left it alone for the moment. "Its about damn time you beat that stupid water fall kid I was wondering if we should build a town to stay here" Shanks joked and began to laugh as Naruto pouted a bit at the jab but he knew Shanks was only joking. . .somewhat at least. "Ohhh if it like that I guess I wont tell you of the awesome treasure I found behind the waterfall" Naruto said with a slight grin as Shanks stopped laughing.

"W-what treasure are you talking about Naruto" Shanks asked a bit curious as everyone else who could see behind the kids back was in aww at what they saw and Naruto brought his hand around to show it to Shanks the fruit as his eye widened.

"I-I know that fruit" Shanks said with his eyes wide as saucers of sake that Whitebeard used to drink.

"Ohh could you please tell me which one this is if you don't mind" Naruto asked curiously. If Shanks reaction was anything to go by this fruit was gonna be something else. ' In deed' Kurama added mentally also curious to see what would have a man like Shanks looking like he just saw a ghost.

Shanks got up a slowly looked over the fruit "T-that's the Zettai yami no mi (AN: Absolute Darkness fruit I know it doesn't really go with how most fruit are named but oh well) I-it gives the user absolute control over darkness. This fruit makes Gekko Moriah's Kage kage no mi look like child's play. " Naruto was wide eyed at this as he looked at the fruit then felt a hand on his left shoulder as he looked to see Shanks with a deathly serous look on his face.

"Naruto either eat that fruit or destroy it. That fruit has to much power to just let sit around even in the safest safe in the world, If used right I have no doubt the user of that will have the potential become some one as feared as Whitebeard if not Gol D. Roger himself." Naruto then understood the severity of the situation. 'If this fruit got into the wrong hands it could mean some VERY dark things are soon to follow' Naruto thought to himself as he began thinking on if he should eat it or destroy it.

'Eat it Naruto with that power you will be able to do thing you could never image and its not like you need to swim you can literally use chakra to climb out of water instead of swimming.' Kurama said as Naruto nodded his head and made his decision.

He swallowed the damn thing whole.

END WOOOOOOO So what you think about it give me some suggestion and some feedback. If you guys want to see something special let me know and ill see if it can be done. If you guys want a pairing let me know. I know I will probably be trying to add some romance in this fic I just don't know who will be with who. I'm kinda leaning towards NarutoxNami. Sooo RxR.

DUECES!
