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

Author's Note: Not entirely sure how I feel about this drabble...I found it really hard to write this for some reason. But I hope it turned out alright and that you guys like it. I am actually really nervous about posting this...I hope I don't disappoint.

Fire is Red

Uncle...Big Brother Luffy?

x

"Oooiii! Luuuffyyyyyy!"

The shout caught the attention of the entire crew. Sanji, Brook and Robin emerged from the kitchen to join the others on deck as they looked to the approaching figure on a raft.

"Ohhh! Aceeee!" Luffy waved his arms in greeting as he recognized his brother.

Ace tied Striker to Thousand Sunny before leaping up to onto the railing. He nearly fell right back down when Luffy tackled him in a hug.

"Ace! I've gotten a lot stronger now! I'm sure I can beat you now!" Luffy had his usual 'shishishi' laugh as let go of Ace.

"As if Luffy!"

"Let's fight then!" Luffy hurled one of his arms back, stretching it, preparing to attack Ace.

Nami knocked him to the floor before it escalated any further. "Stop it! We're on Sunny right now!"

"We read about Marineford on the papers. Sorry we weren't there with our captain, but we're glad you're alright. Luffy probably would have lost himself otherwise." Sanji spoke up for all of them in regards to the battle two years ago.

"Ah thank you for your concerns. Please don't worry about it though, everything turned out alright in the end."

"Do you want to move the kitchen for some tea? You can sit and talk with Luffy there."

"Please, that would be great. But let me get someone first." Ace nicked his finger with his dagger before dragging it across the amulet that hung from his hat, there was flash of yellow and a woman appeared beside him. "This is my wife and daughter."

That was when they noticed the little girl clutching the woman's pants. Naruto bent down and picked her daughter up, letting the crew get a better look.

"Oh! She's adorable!"

"Hi! I'm Naruto and this is Hikaze. Sorry for dropping in out of the blue."

She smiled when they each introduced themselves in turn, although the green-head's eye scar did startle her since it reminded her a bit too much of Kakashi-sensei. The skeleton might have also teased at her fear of ghosts but she didn't let that show.

"Since when were you married?" Usopp turned to Ace in question. "Luffy never mentioned it."

"The papers didn't mention it? It was revealed at Marineford when Naruto came to save me."

Luffy's crew all shook their heads.

"I thought they would have put that in the papers for sure...did that shitty old man have something to do with it?" Ace muttered to himself in thought.

A shrill laughter cut through their musings and they turned to look at Naruto who was holding onto a squirming Hikaze as she laughed at Luffy pulling weird faces. Even Naruto was biting her lips, trying to keep her own giggles back.

Sanji started ushering them towards the kitchen, where they could have tea—or juice for the little girl—and snacks as they talked.

Once settled down at the table, Naruto spoke up. "We came to introduce Hikaze to her Uncle Luffy, but...I'm starting to think he's more of a silly older brother figure for her rather than an uncle..." Her eyes strayed to where Luffy was showing her daughter how much he can stretch by stuffing as many snacks into his mouth as possible. Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper all nodded dryly in agreement.

She could only hope that Hikaze didn't pick up any bad manners from him.

"What Devil Fruit ability was that you used earlier?" Robin sipped at her tea.

"I didn't eat a Devil Fruit, that was the Hiraishin earlier. It's a seal that lets me travel instantly to where the marker is at. That reminds me, Luffy, hand me your hat for a second." The fact that Luffy handed it over without question was a huge testament to how much he trusted her. She slipped her fingers under the red ribbon and let out a small amount of chakra, marking the straw hat with her seal. "I forgot to mark Luffy so Ace had to come find him first before calling me. Hikaze would have never lasted the trip otherwise." Naruto handed the hat back.

"Seal?" Robin looked at her in interest.

"Yes. It's one of the abilities of my people. The three main ones are ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. Fuinjutsu is a lesser known branch since it's difficult to learn and understand."

"Jutsu?"

Naruto sighed. "Luffy hasn't told any of you anything has he?"

They all shook their head at this.

She passed Hikaze to her husband as she prepared to go in depth on her explanation. "First off, I'm a kunoichi, a former ninja of Konoha. Second, I'm not from this world." Naruto paused here as their outbursts.

"I'm not going to go into detail on how it happened, but the short story is: I was dying after we won the war back at home, but a friend refused to let me die and I just somehow ended up here."

"A friend?"

She nodded, "I can introduce him later." Naruto took a sip from her cup before continuing.

"I ended up on a deserted island in East Blue, de-aged and depressed."

Naruto was once again interrupted.

"De-aged?"

"Yea, I was originally seventeen and was de-aged to five here. I'm the same age as Luffy now, so that makes me…uh…" Ticking her fingers as she tried to calculate her age. "Thirty…one?" She nodded firmly. "Mentally, I'm thirty-one." Not a moment later, a cloud of gloom formed over her head as she processed that.

"Wow. You're older than Robin!" Two smacks were heard immediately after. Usopp was now sporting two puffed cheeks from the hand that sprouted from his chest, courtesy of Robin.

Naruto was pulled out of her self-inflicted gloom when an arm looped around her shoulder and the puff of air near her ear. "Well I'm glad you ended up here." A soft smile tugged at her lips at Ace's whisper.

She turned and pressed a chaste kiss on Ace's lips which Hikaze caught sight of from where she was perched on Luffy's lap and immediately tried clambering over the table to claim her own kiss.

"Goodness, you've barely met your Uncle Luffy and you've already picked up on his bad habits." Plucking her daughter up before she overturned any cups, Naruto gave Hikaze the kiss she was demanding. "If you pick up manners from just being around someone, I should let you be around Sabo more."

Hikaze perked up and twisted her head to look around the room, "Uncle Sabo is here?"

A hand reached over and ruffled her hair. "Sorry kit, Sabo's not here." Hikaze pouted fiercely at Ace—for both saying that Sabo wasn't here and messing with her hair.

Naruto's hand immediately reached out to turn his head away from their daughter's pout, preventing him from caving and going off to retrieve Sabo. Ace was still liable to occasionally fall for Hikaze's devastating puppy pout—better than as all his ship-brothers and father who would immediately cave—thus it was her responsibility to prevent it from happening.

"Sabo? From the Revolutionary Army?"

Naruto looked to Robin, "You know him?"

The archaeologist nodded, "I spent two years with them recently."

"Oh, what a coincidence. Sabo's their brother."

The crew reacted with shock again. "Luffy has another brother?"

She gave an exasperated huff. Luffy really doesn't tell his crew anything.

Well...there it is. I really hope it turned out alright. I had actually planned to have it longer than this, but it was just so hard continuing it! I didn't know what else to write.

There may be a second part to this, with more interactions between Naruto, Hikaze, and Ace with the rest of the crew since this didn't exactly turn out how I expected. Maybe Kurama too. I just need ideas or...or inspirations or something.

Please leave a review below with your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
