Prince on the Grand Line

Chapter 1

A man kept a straight face as several servants finished the last touches on his white ceremonial kimono for the coming ceremony as he stood in front of a large mirror. He had to look his best as this was one of the most important days in his life.

He felt a bit nervous, trying to flatten especially unruly parts of his gravity defying spikey red hair and straighten the two spikey bangs that framed his face. He looked himself over, his eyes told to be as blue as the ocean, searching his tannish skin for any smudges while running a finger over his odd whisker birthmarks that were on his cheeks.

"Lord Naruto, the preparations are done and it is time for the ceremony to begin" the head maid said as Naruto swallowed the lump in his throat before nodding and following her out of the changing room.

As he entered the main hall he kept his eyes forward, only noticing how many people here seated on either side of the aisle out of the corners of his eyes. He continued to follow his maid before he sat down on a pillow placed for him in front an altar that sat his grandmother

His grandmother, or mother as he referred to her given she raised him after his parents died the day he was born, was queen of the island he lived on. Her name was Kaguya Otsutsuki but to others she was the Rabbit Goddess.

She was called that due to the two light grey horns on top of her head and the third eye on the middle of her forehead.

Just one look at her screamed nobility with her white hair that went down to the floor and a foot behind her, her very short round eyebrows, and long nails. She had pale white skin and matching pale white eyes.

Her outfit also screamed queen as she wore a high collared hime-kimono with tomoe running down the center and edges of the sleeves.

"Naruto Otsutsuki, today you turn 18" she said as she looked down at him. "Before my eyes you have grown and became a man your mother and father would be immensely proud of. You have become strong, kind, just, and fair" Kaguya added before she stood up from where she sat.

"As named prince of the Otsutsuki clan and future ruler of the Island of Ancestors you will now begin your journey of discovery into the world before eventually returning to take your place as king! But before that I have deemed you worthy to gain the power to help you rule when you do return" Kaguya said as she started to slowly step down from the altar.

"When I first settled on this island all those years ago I planted a seed and it quickly grew a tree and on that tree was a singular fruit. But not a normal fruit in any sense. This fruit was destined to give me the power fit to rule and protect those around me, more powerful than any Devil Fruit, and was known to be the God Fruit" Kaguya explained as she continued down the steps.

"I have beseeched the god that first gave me the seed and it has deemed you worthy of your own God Fruit" she declared as she reached the bottom of the steps and reached into her large sleeves and pulled out a medium sized simple wooden box that bore the symbol of the Otsutsuki clan – a crescent moon with a circle beside it.

"Do you Naruto, swear to use this power only to defend yourself, protect those closest to you, and defend your home and those living in it?" Kaguya asked as she held the box in her hands.

"I swear to not abuse this power and to use it to be a great king" he said as he bowed his head and held his hands up to accept the box.

Kaguya smiled as she placed the box in his hands before he brought it down to his lap and opened it to reveal a peach but it clearly wasn't any normal peach. The peach itself was multiple colors, all mixing and swirling around as if the surface of it was water.

"Take a bite and accept its power for all to see" Kaguya said as Naruto nodded and brought the peach to his mouth and bit into it before a bright blinding light burst from the peach and enveloped him.

-Naruto's Mindscape-

Naruto frowned as he stood upon a clear lake with a golden horizon all around him. He wasn't sure where he was but it felt familiar and safe.

"Grandchild of Kaguya, chosen next in line. I am Shinju, the god tree and patron of her and your land" a disembodied voice spoke out all around him as Naruto quickly figured this as the god his grandmother always spoke of.

"I have deemed you worthy of my power, are you ready to accept it?" it asked as Naruto nodded.

"You will share the same eyes as the eye upon Kaguya's forehead but you will not have a connection to me. You will give birth to your own form of being as the avatar of your power" it said as Naruto fell to the ground, closing his eyes tightly as his eyes felt like they were on fire.

"Accept the power and give birth to your creations! Show the world who you are!" the god declared before Naruto blacked out and fell onto the lake just as nine figures rose from the ground around him before he returned to the real world.

-Real World-

Naruto let out a gasp, as if he had been holding his breath for too long as he looked at his hands to see the peach was gone.

"Raise your head and show me your gift from the God" Kaguya said as he rose his head to look at her and she smiled proudly before pulling out a mirror for him to see what she saw.

Immediately he was shocked as his normal blue eyes were replaced with pure red eyes that contained three thin black circles that had three tomoe on each ring with a singular small black pupil in the center of the innermost ring.

It was a design he had seen very few times whenever his mom had opened her third eye.

"The god has declared you worthy of the Rinne-Sharingan, the symbol of my power. I, Kaguya Otsutsuki, officially declare you as next in line for the throne!" she said as the crowd cheered behind him and his mother offered her hands to him so he could stand.

"Now! Let the festivities start in the dining hall for a final sendoff for my son before he leaves tomorrow!" Kaguya declared as the crowd cheered again and Naruto stood beside her as they watched them file out.

Naruto couldn't help but smile as the celebration afterwards was very much his mother, which meant it was extravagant and full of sweets and a feast of food. For the most of it he stayed beside his mother and talked to those that wished to congratulate him from his friends to high ranking officials in his mother's kingdom.

Of course many promised him gifts that were being taken to the ship that awaited him at the docks which he'd be leaving in the coming morning.

From Tsunade Senju, the Fire general, he was given medical supplies as well as a scroll on her grandfather's techniques. She had also been the one to give him the green gem necklace he wore as she was one of handful of people he was closest to.

She had even given him a kiss on the forehead as a good luck charm, something she often gave when she wanted to show she cared. It was a sign of affection she often gave to her husband and little brother.

The next general, the Water General Mei Terumi, gave him countless maps and some Log Pose to help him with his journey. One was for the first half of the Grand Line, the second was for the second half of it, and she had even thrown in an Eternal Log Pose to always make sure he could know his way home.

Mei had also hinted at giving him some interesting weapons to master as Mei was also the head of creating unique blades, something her family had done for the kingdom for generations.

His gift from the Lightning General, a man who went by the simple name of Aye, had been some scrolls he thought would be interesting for him as well as some weights to keep up on his training while out at sea.

The Wind General, one of his best friends Gaara, had given him special gourds full of various sands as well as countless items he thought he might like such as photo albums and a cactus that he thought was nice. All in all he loved his friend's gifts as they had meaning behind them.

The last general, the Stone General Onoki, while rather strict and stern was still his mother's general so he too had gifts prepared. His gifts were Sea Stone themed as they were the best defense against Devil Fruit users and an incredibly resilient material. Onoki had told him that he was having his ship fortified with Sea Stone to make sure it could take a beating and keep sailing.

"Are you nervous?" his mother asked him as he smiled at her and shook his head.

"I'm actually kind of excited to see who I'll meet out there and what new places I'll be visiting" Naruto said as he had gone out and seen a few places in the world when he went on trips with his mother when he was young but this was different.

This time he'd be choosing where to go and in control of what he does. It was his journey for him to become a man worthy of the title of king and make a name for himself.

"Well enjoy your party my dear Naru-chan," she said in a sweet tone using the nickname she and several other women close to him used before giving him a hug "for tomorrow you make your debut in the world" she added as he smiled and nodded before going off to rejoin his friends.

"So, the knucklehead we grew up around is setting off on his own?" Ino Yamanaka, one of his various friends said with a smirk as Naruto met up with his friends.

"I just hope he doesn't cause too much trouble or the added attention on our island is going to be troublesome" Shikamaru said with a tired sigh.

"Oh come on, Naruto won't be that bad" Sakura said as she patted him on the back, making him grunt a bit due to the unintended use of strength.

"Gee Sakura, thanks for confidence boost" he said in a dry tone making her and the others laugh and him join a bit.

"Yeah, I'm certain he'll be fine though I wouldn't turn down an offer to join you" Kiba said with a cocky smirk as he nudged him with his elbow.

"Kiba this is Naruto's journey, he must embark upon it alone. His birth mother did it when she was his age alone and so much he" Shino said, as his mother's death was a known fact that people still mourned silently as his mom Kushina was loved by all just as his grandmother is.

"I'm sure he knows that Shino, Kiba's just excited to Naruto-kun's journey" Hinata said softly as Shino nodded.

"I do hope you will be safe Naruto! I know your youthful flames will spread throughout the seas!" Lee said as he passionately cried as Tenten and Neji just sighed beside him.

"I do have to say I'm jealous as you'll probably see countless amazing weapons! Be sure to bring back anything especially interesting" Tenten said as she smiled happily at the prospect of new weapons.

"Do be safe though, can't have our future king being killed out there" Neji said seriously as Naruto nodded with a chuckle.

"I promise I'll be safe and bring anything interesting back" Naruto said as someone patted him on the shoulder.

"I doubt he'll step on anyone's toes really, though knowing him he will attract a lot of trouble unintentionally" Sai teased as Naruto frowned at him while the pale boy just smiled warmly at him.

"What is with you and Sakura being so pessimistic about me going out into the world" Naruto grumbled as the others laughed around him.

"Can you really blame us?" Sakura asked as Naruto rolled his eyes before smiling as he continued to talk and joke around with his friends.

From childhood til now he never was one to stick to the royalty stereotype of thinking oneself as above others or entitled. From a young age he decided to go to public school, make friends, and be a normal kid outside of royal functions and trips he took with his mom for diplomacy.

His mother forced him to get training from some of her generals but even then he didn't think himself entitled to their training and worked hard to pass their rough trails to full earn their training.

To his friends he was someone who just happened to be a prince, which he preferred overall.

"Promise to send souvenirs and maybe some snacks from various islands" Choji said as Naruto smiled and nodded.

"I'll send some souvenirs back, only fair after you all getting me gifts" Naruto said as he remembered each of his friend's gifts: Shikamaru had gotten him a shogi board, Ino a camera and gardening supplies, Choji some meat and snacks, Kiba's first gift of girly magazines had been torn up by his sister and mother and replaced with survival gear and soldier pills, Hinata had given him some healing ointment, Shino some venom antidotes and bug identification books, Lee some leg weights and green spandex, Tenten some scrolls full of various throwing weapons, Neji a book on pressure points and acupuncture, Sai a collection of art supplies, and Sakura a cherry blossom bonsai.

"Say has anyone seen Sasuke? I've seen Itachi and his mom earlier when they came by to say hi and congratulate me but I haven't seen him anywhere" Naruto said with a frown as Sakura and Sai sighed.

"We haven't seen him either but knowing him he's with his dad focusing on security" Sakura said as for the most part Sasuke never really hung out with them once he had graduated. He went immediately enrolled in the royal guard training camp after graduating with the intention of being part of the palace's guard.

"I'm more surprised dickless didn't work some way to get himself put on Naruto's trip with him to 'defend the royal family and ensure it isn't ended'" Sai said with a fake smile before he was quickly clutching his head over the bump it gained from Sakura's punch.

"Stop calling him dickless, at a royal event no less! And you know he and the other Uchiha are still trying to make up for what happened" Sakura said, hissing in a low tone before covering her mouth as she looked at Naruto.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring it-Its fine Sakura" Naruto said interrupting her with a smile.

He understood Sasuke and the Uchiha's devotion as the Uchiha and the Senju were two clans that made up the majority of the capitol's royal guard and the Uchiha were also the clan that the murderer of his parent's belonged to.

His mother's murderer had been a former student of his dad's who went insane after a traumatic battle and the loss of the girl he loved.

The student hid his PTSD and plan to attack well enough to not gain suspicion before using the commotion of his birth to attack his parents at the hospital with the use of a powerful Mangekyo Sharingan ability alongside an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit. The battle had left his dad full of holes from the space ninjutsu eating away at him and the man bleeding heavily from his father's devotion filled counter attack but in the end his dad had killed him, but not before his father died from his wounds and his mother from lack of treatment for her own wounds.

His grandmother, while she didn't blame the Uchiha, did blame herself as his birth ended up corresponding with her reconnection with the Shinju, which had to happen every ten months. She knew not to take her anger of losing her daughter out on innocents and worked with the Uchiha to help recover.

"Well I hope I see him at least once before I leave. It would be nice to say goodbye" Naruto said as, besides Sakura, Sasuke use to be one of his closest friends.

"Yeah but enough sad stuff, this is your party Naruto, lets enjoy it!" Ino said as she draped her arm over his shoulder and rose her glass with a smile as everyone agreed, holding their glasses up as well. "To Naruto!" she cheered.

"To Naruto!" his friends cheered as they followed suit and Naruto smiled, determined to enjoy this party with his friends.

The party ended up continuing until late into the night before his mother ended it so he could be rested enough by the time he was supposed to set off tomorrow morning. Though in all honesty it took him some time before he could actually get to sleep due to his excited nerves.

-Next Morning-

The next morning, as he dressed himself, excited to see his ship, he went with a pair of loose black pants held up with an orange sash as a belt, a long sleeve thin and loose red shirt, wooden sandals, and a dark red trench coat resting on his shoulders.

The cloak was very special to him as it had been given to him after he had mastered a technique that hadn't been mastered in several decades. Not even his master who had started to teach him it had fully mastered it so he wore it with pride.

Once he was done he quickly made his way to the main hall where his mom was waiting for him to guide him to the docks.

"Your friends and others are already waiting by the dock for us, so shall we go?" Kaguya asked as he nodded excitedly and walked out with his mother

As he arrived at the docks he couldn't help but stare in awe at the ship before him as people cheered for him beside the path to the ramp up to the boat's deck.

The boat itself was rather huge with a dark red hull and black railings along the deck. The ship had two large masts with crow's nests on top of both and white sails hanging from them.

"Bout time you showed up, had everyone waiting for you" Jiraiya his main teacher said with a grin as he draped his arm over his shoulder. "You sure are lucky to get a fine craft like this. If I were you I'd find some hot girls to be in your crew first" Jiraiya teased before both Tsunade and his mother slugged him on the head, sending him crashing down onto the ground and creating a crater from the force.

"Don't pervert my son" Kaguya hissed out making everyone shiver before she looked over to Tazuna. "You may start now Tazuna" she said as the man nodded with a smile.

"Naruto my boy, may I introduce you to the Crimson Tide, your ship for your journey" Tazuna said with a proud smile as he motioned to the large ship behind him. "This here is for certain my greatest creation so far. This baby has four floors, two below deck and two above, enough rooms for a full crew and then some, ten cannons on each side and one that pops out from under the bow, and is made entirely from the very tree of the Shinju with Sea Stone fortifications" Tazuna said as he patted the ship with a smile.

"Wait, you made it out of wood from the Shinju tree?" He asked in surprise as that was their kingdom's sacred tree and the 'god' of the island.

"With my permission of course. The Shinju's wood is sturdier than anything out there, even Adam's wood. It can even be healed by chakra and you can make more from what is present in case you want to build additions to the ship. I commissioned Tazuna and our other shipwrights to make this as I refused to let you out there without a ship that can handle the sea" Kaguya explained as she has had this ship secretly in the works for the last few months to be ready by this time.

"Do you have a plan of where you are going to go first?" Jiraiya asked, easily recovering from being smashed into the ground, as Naruto rubbed his chin in thought.

"I'll probably stick around South Blue for a bit, see if I can find some crew members before going into the Grand Line. I'll see who I come across and see if I can build a crew up to help" Naruto said with a smile as he rubbed the back of his head. "I have a goal in mind but I don't want to say it straight out loud so soon" Naruto added as his mom smiled and nodded.

"Be safe out there my dear and stay in touch as the Transponder Snail has the connection to mine memorized. And just because you are setting off doesn't mean you can't come visit occasionally" she said before Naruto calmed her down by putting his hands on her shoulders.

"I know mom, I promise I'll keep in touch and be safe. I love you" he said before pulling her in for a hug that she warmly returned before she kissed his cheek softly.

"I love you too my Naru-chan" she said as Naruto smiled to the crowd.

"Thank you all for seeing me off! I'll make you all proud I promise!" he said as the crowd cheered again as he made his way up the ramp. From atop the deck he could see his friends in the crowd and even the generals nearby, he even saw some mayors from the neighboring towns mixed in.

In the distance he smiled as he saw Sasuke standing atop a nearby building with Itachi and Fugaku by his sides. He waved to him, happy to get at least a nod from his friend before he raised the anchor and dropped his sails.

"That boy is going to make a great impact out there, I can feel it" Jiraiya said as Kaguya nodded with a proud smile.

"Of course he will, he's Kushina-chan's son and my grandson" she said softly, watching as his boat headed off towards the distance.

-An Hour Later-

Naruto relaxed behind the wheel of his ship, a map of South Blue in hand as he decided to head to the closest island to get a feel for things. He had already checked out the entirety of his boat, finding his room and the locations of various gifts he had been given.

'I have a lot to do in terms of training' he thought as he found a scroll marked with the Rinne-Sharingan and found it full of his new dojutsu's abilities and boy were there a lot of them. 'Right now I need to focus on finding some crew members to help as while I can do a lot on my own it'd be better with more people' he added as sat up straight, feeling a jolt down his spine.

He felt a bit sick, his stomach churning as if he just ate something rancid as his head turned to see a boat in the distance. 'What is up with this?' Naruto thought as the boat grew closer to him and the feelings the boat gave off grew stronger and made him feel anger, fear, and numerous other emotions.

He felt he didn't need to be too much on guard due to the ship not flying a jolly roger but he got ready to defend himself if necessary.

"Hello there! Sorry to come up on you like this but do you happen to have a map of the area? We got a little lost?" a man on the ship beside his asked, dropping his anchor to stay in place as Naruto frowned and did the same.

"I don't have one either, all I know is the location of the nearest island where I'm hoping there are maps for sale" he said as the man nodded with a frown. "May I ask what you are doing out here as this part of the South Blue is sparse on islands nearby" Naruto added as the man shrugged his shoulders with a smirk.

"Just sailing around, looking around for anything interesting" the man said as Naruto's stomach clenched.

"That's a lie" Naruto blurted out suddenly, not sure why he did but the quick glare on the man's face made him feel like he hit the nail on the head.

"What was that?" the man hissed out as Naruto could feel as if someone was calling out for help from below his deck.

"I said you're lying. Your transporting something aren't you? Something I guess you have to keep quiet about" Naruto said as he guess that the lack of people up on deck meant they were down below taking care of whatever below.

"Look brat, you don't want to mess with us" the man said as he pulled out a flintlock pistol only for his hand to get stabbed by a kunai causing him to drop it before another kunai was held at his throat. The man was incredibly surprised at how quickly his boat had been boarded and a knife put up against his throat.

"What are you transporting, be honest or you'll die here and now" Naruto said as the man held his hands up in surrender.

"Slaves," he growled out "we're transporting slaves and we're looking around for more people to kidnap" he added as Naruto narrowed his eyes in disgust and anger.

"Slave traders, you disgust me. I'll just have to kill all of you and free your slaves" Naruto said as he slit the man's throat and pushed his body overboard.

While he didn't particularly like to kill he had already had his first kill during a training mission on a neighboring village that was being attacked by bandits. He wasn't the kind to go straight to killing but slave traders were particularly disgusting and angered him enough to make him act.

'Need to be quick. I'll go for the slaves and free them while my clones deal with cleaning up the ship' Naruto thought as he held two fingers from each hand into a plus hand sign before ten copies of his appeared in a row beside him.

"Go out, take out anyone you come across and trust your instincts" Naruto said as the clones split up, some entering the lower decks through the cannon slots, some through the doors and himself through the grate in the middle of the deck.

He quickly held his finger to his lips, telling those around him to be quiet as the women around him quickly scurried away from him until they were against the walls of the cells at his sides. "Don't worry, I'm here to save you all. I promise I'm not here to hurt you" Naruto said as the door to the room opened up causing the girls to flinch in fear.

Only, to their surprise, a dead body of one of their captors fell to the floor and another of the man who had dropped down from above walked in with a ring of keys.

"W-What is going on? Did you eat a devil fruit? Are you really here to save us? What is going on?" several people, male and female, started to mutter as Naruto accepted the keys and crouched down to the prisoner's levels.

"It's not a devil fruit power but an ability from my island and yes I am here to save you. I despise slave traders and trash like them, I'm just glad I found you guys" Naruto said as he opened the cells and one by one started to take off their slave collars, handing them to his clone.

"W-Wait! T-There are three others still locked up elsewhere in the ship down below! Y-You have to help them too" one girl, no older than 12 said as Naruto nodded.

"Of course I'll save them. Do you know if they have different cuffs or not?" Naruto asked as he pet the girl's hair as she shook her head.

"I-I'm sorry mister" she said as she wiped her tears and looked down at the floor upset that she couldn't help.

"It's fine sweetie, go with the others and my clone to get above onto the deck. I'll be up when I find and save the others" Naruto said as a woman nearby picked her up and followed his clone up to the deck as various clones dispelled once they all finished the final search of the ship.

'Wonder why these three are held at a lower level than the rest? Are they worth more than the others or something?' he thought to himself as he made his way towards the lower level before frowning at the rather thick looking metal door in front of him.

'Seems like they really want to keep these slaves in there' he thought as he tried the other three keys on the key ring that contained the keys unlocked the other slave's collars and cells only to find none of them worked or were any big enough to fit.

"Anyone in this room stand back away from anywhere close to the door or in its path to the wall behind it!" Naruto yelled as he peeked through the window at the top checking to see where the cell was in the room only to see directly behind the door was just a wall with the cell at the side of the room.

Once sure he wouldn't send the door flying into anyone he held his hand out and started to mold his chakra onto his hand. It didn't take long for him to form his father's trademark jutsu as his chakra formed a whirling ball of chakra in his hand.

The Rasengan was a technique his father drafted up long ago after seeing his grandmother use one of her more destructive powers to destroy a fleet of pirate ships. And being a more close range fighter it was a major part of his fighting style.

"Stand back! Rasengan!" he yelled as he slammed the orb into the steel door, keeping himself planted as the orb started to work its magic on the door, warping and twisting the metal around where the orb hit before the door suddenly was sent flying into the room and crashing into the wall and embedding into wall which he decided to fix later.

As he walked into the room he was a bit surprised by the sight of the three prisoners given they were a dog woman, rabbit woman, and a woman with a pair of cat ears and a tail.

The dog had tan fur covering her body, dog ears, dog like snout and a large bushy tail paired with long puffy orange hair and brown eyes. From what he could see she was rather tall and curvaceous with what he figured to be around a high E cup chest although it was hard to tell through the rags she wore, an outfit shared with the other prisoners.

The bunny had white fur, short blond hair that went a bit past her chin, brown eyes, rabbit eyes and ears, a rabbit nose, and a puffy tail. She, unlike the dog, was shorter and less curvaceous with what he figured to be a mid B cup chest.

The final one was more human like with white skin, pale green eyes, short greyish brown hair with matching colored cat ears and cat tail. She was the most curvaceous of the three with a chest that was easily near Tsunade's level of M cups, which seemed to be barely contained in the rags she wore. She also wore a pair of red triangle frame glasses that barely were staying on her face.

They all were contained in one cell, their hands bound above them to the wall with muzzles on their faces.

"Who are you!?" the dog said, a bit muffled by the muzzle as Naruto held up his hands to show he meant no harm.

"I'm rescuing the slaves on this ship, I was told you three were here so I came to make sure I got you three as well. Do your slave collars and bindings work the same as the others?" he asked as he opened the door to their cell, pausing in wait for the dog to nod to say he was okay to enter as he didn't want to scare them.

"Yeah they work the same as the others, we were just kept separate due to use being from the Mink Tribe" the cat girl said as Naruto frowned.

"I'm sorry but I've never heard of the Mink Tribe, I'm guessing you homeland isn't around the South Blue" Naruto said as the rabbit nodded.

"We're from the second half of the Grand Line, the New World but we got captured in a sneak attack while we were out gathering supplies. W-We've been on this boat since then and they even found a way to travel us to this half of the Grand Line" the rabbit said as she teared up making Naruto frown.

"Well don't worry, I'll get you guys out and we can figure out what to do next. I'm Naruto by the way, Naruto Otsutsuki" he said as he first freed their hands before taking their slave collars off and allowing them to take their muzzles off.

"I'm Wanda," the dog woman said as she motioned to the rabbit "this is Carrot and this is Durel" she added motioning to the cat before they stood up, visibly sore from being chained up for so long.

"How did you find this slave ship or even know it was a slave ship?" Carrot asked as the ship looked as ordinary as they came, as to not attract attention, while Naruto frowned a bit and rubbed his chin.

"It came up to me acting friendly, asking for a map and when he said he was just sailing my instincts or something told me he was lying. After confronting him about it and learning of this ship's nature I killed him and decided I couldn't let this stand" Naruto said as he clenched his fist.

"Are you a former slave or something?" Durel asked as she pushed up her glasses and looked him over.

"No but people actually selling other people as slaves is just disgusting. I've never liked the concept when I heard about it and refused not to take action" Naruto said as Wanda smiled a bit at him.

"We are very grateful for you saving us but what do you plan to do next?" Wanda asked as Naruto walked out of the cage before looking back at them.

"Come on up above deck and I'll show you. You don't have to worry about anyone of the slave traders who were on this ship, I took care of them" he said as the rabbit bound up beside him, smiling up at him as her ears perked up from the previous drooped appearance.

"Okay! I can't wait to see the sun again! It gets so depressing stuck down here" Carrot said as Naruto could only imagine as they followed him up to the deck where the other slave cheered for him.

"Thank you! Are you going to help us get home! Do you have any food?" various voices asked as a clone of his handed him a log book and a rolled up map before dispelling.

"One at a time please. I'll answer everything so please be patient" he said with a smile as they calmed down. "First I do plan to help you all get home as much as I can. This log book," he said as he held it up "lists all the locations of what islands you came from and this map has the islands marked so you all will return home IF it is safe for you to. If not my home will accept you" Naruto said as various freed slaves quickly leapt at him and captured him in a massive group hug before letting him go once they noticed he was having trouble breathing.

"As for food they were stocked in their kitchen and they, in a very perverted fashion, kept the majority of the female clothing in a treasure chest. I'm sure we can wash them and get pass them out" Naruto said before frowning a bit.

"Though personally I won't be joining you on your way back to your homes as a clone will be staying with you" he said as they frowned.

"Why aren't you coming with us?" the little girl who told him about the three others said as he crouched down in front of her.

"Because I have my own ship that I need to take care of. I can promise you my clone will help and you all will be safe on this ship as not only will other slave traders not bother one of their own kind, my clone will ensure you all get back safely" he explained as the all nodded and accepted it.

"What about us? Our home is pretty damn faraway" Wanda said as Naruto frowned.

"I can take you three home myself if you want on my ship as I am heading to the New World" Naruto said as Wanda looked him over before walking up to him.

"Do you want us to join your crew or something?" she asked as Naruto shrugged his shoulders.

"If you want, if not you can just be passengers. I'll promise your safety and won't get you involved in any trouble that might follow me. I won't force you or anyone to do anything you don't want to" he said as Wanda smiled and leaned down to his level, being a good foot taller than him.

"You are okay with us Minks on your crew? It seems that some humans look down on those who are not human, are you like that?" Wanda asked as Naruto shook his head with a frown.

"Why would I be? I feel no matter the race everyone is equal as being a Mink doesn't make you any less than me and doesn't make me feel lesser of a person either" Naruto said as his mother had been very sure to teach and instill in him that no one is below or above others due to their race or gender which he agreed with.

"Not too many people would honestly bring us along as we are bound to attract attention to you. You really sure you're okay with taking us along?" Durel asked as Naruto nodded with a smile.

"I couldn't care less about what people think or if people are more noticing of me. I want to help you all get home and if you do decide to join my crew then I will welcome you with open arms" Naruto said as the former slaves around them smiled and looked to him with more respect.

"With someone like you….being a part of your crew doesn't sound so bad Captain" she said before she leaned down and licked his cheek, making him blush a bit as he figured that was a dog form of a kiss, before Carrot quickly tackled him in a hug.

"Wee! We get to sail around the world as we head home!" Carrot cheered as the others chuckled at her excitement.

"I guess it won't be that bad, I can serve as the doctor of your crew unless you have one already" Durel said as Naruto shook his head.

"I don't have anyone on my crew, I just started sailing an hour or two ago" Naruto said as Wanda nodded.

"Well then you lucked out as much as we did. I can be the navigator if you want and Carrot can be a Cabin Girl" Wanda said as Carrot didn't seem to mind as she continued to hug on Naruto and nuzzle against him as she hung from his back due to her being shorter than him.

"Sounds good but first, let's get you all situated to start sailing! I need those with sailing experience to come forward, those who can read maps as well. The rest of you get some food passed around and maybe some others get the clothes situation started" Naruto said, making sure his tone wasn't full blown ordering but from the looks he got they didn't mind or care as they were excited to get home.

It didn't take long, only an hour or so, before everyone was situated and he had fixed the embedded door down below.

"You all have my transponder snail frequency and my homeland's number as well. Remember just to mention my name and you'll be fine, I promise" he said as he stood on the railing of his ship as the freed slaves nodded.

"Thank you so much again Naruto, we will always remember and be indebted to you" one man who was chosen to drive said as Naruto smiled and waved him off.

"Don't feel indebted, just be safe out there and don't let this dark event ruin things for you. Live free and sail safe!" he said as they cheered before he stayed atop the railing, watching as they continued to wave to him while sailing off.

"Are you ready to go now captain?" Wanda asked as he nodded and turned around before she helped pull up the anchor.

After getting the clothes situation organized Wanda had decided on a light blue deep V-necked shirt, which showed off a lot of cleavage, a pair of white short shorts, and calf high brown boots. She had also grabbed a saber from his armory that was strapped to her waist

Durel had chosen a dark grey button up shirt – which had the several buttons undone due to her bust which in turn showed off a lot of cleavage, a pair of tight jeans, and ankle height black heels before finishing it off with a white doctor's coat she had found on his ship.

Carrot went with short orange dress with the word 'Rabbit' in black letters across her chest, a black cap that had been modified to let her ears go through it, and a pair of loafers. She, like Wanda, had taken a pair of non-descript gauntlets from his armor and was apparently planning to turn them into a pair of rabbit paws with some fur she was going to look for on the next island they went to.

"Yeah, we can start going now. Sorry, just wanted to see them off" Naruto said as Wanda nodded with a smile, liking how he was still concerned for the former slaves.

"So where are we going next?" Carrot said as Naruto rubbed his chin and shrugged his shoulders.

"I want to stop by the closest island, get a feel for things and maybe stock up on anything you all need. I want to get a feel for South Blue before we make our way to the Grand Line, does that sound good?" Naruto asked as they nodded.

"Then let's set sail" he said as Carrot saluted as Wanda and Durel smirked at him.

"Yes captain!" they said as Wanda could only wonder how interesting following her new captain would be.

-Chapter End-

EDIT: As of 11/1/2019 I made some slight changes, I removed Madara's influence for Obito's attack as I decided to use him in a better light due to Kaguya being around. I made Obito also have a Devil Fruit, one that will show up later in the fic - Please don't make guesses :/

I've honestly wanted to write a real Naruto/One Piece story for so long and this idea just was formed so easily once Kfbanime87, a friend of mine, talked about wanting to see one and thus I drafted up this story

Naruto's crew, as you noticed from Durel, will include people from other animes who I have worked into fitting into the One Piece world (list below). They are all decided and I have tinkered them to make their powers and abilities fit well into the One Piece world I feel.

Now a bit of backstory on Naruto's homeland, the Island of Ancestors:

It is mainly neutral in terms of working with Marines, World Gov, or Pirates. It won't fight unless someone attacks it first.

Kaguya is also unaging more or less, as the Shinju stopped her aging allowing her to be around since the first Kages and remain as queen from then til now. She took a while to find love and give birth to Kushina, losing her husband to a deadly illness that took him too fast but in turn it made her more devoted to serving her kingdom and keeping them safe.

The island is really big with the capital near the coast. Each General is in charge of a section of the land (Tsunade fire, Onoki stone, and etc for the Kage) and within these areas are other smaller towns (like Wave, Rain, and Sound) with mayors of their own (Tazuna, Nagato, and Orochimaru respectively) but they all serve under the General in charge of the area their town is within who in turn serves under the Queen.

The Uchiha never went rouge and the Senju all have Mokuton as Mokuton and the Sharingan are gifts she gave them for their devotion. She also gave the Hyuga the Byakugan

Now it's not all perfect as there are bandits, rebels, and dark people (like Madara) but Kaguya easily withholds command and control and is the strongest person on the island by far.

Orochimaru is good because, while he isn't a general, he is high ranking in terms of the research department in the capital and was given his own town just for research which he enjoys. He doesn't do human experimentation as he is given Zetsus for that – which are basically high strength wood clones with a hive mind sentience of their own that serve under Kaguya with their whole being. They are 1000% devoted to her and are happy to help.

Also I felt the sync up reason makes sense as the Shinju is a being I see needing to reaffirm their alliance and keep the power inside her and the every ten months period that lasts a full month is something I feel is reasonable.

After she woke up, angered by her daughter and son-in-law's death, she immediately made a man hunt for Madara and used Black Zetsu to hunt him down and bind him in place so she could cut off his connection to chakra and kill him painfully.

Basically if she feels someone is going to try and betray them or misuses chakra she can sever their connection to it, like cutting a string that is linked from her to them, and it cuts off their connection to using chakra at all without killing them.

History lesson over!

Naruto's Crew (Role) and - - Where they are from:

Naruto Otsutsuki (Captain) - - Naruto

Wanda (First Mate) - - One Piece

Durel (Doctor) - - Asobi Ni Ikuyo!

Carrot (Cabin Girl) Paired with Soma - - One Piece

Naruto will have all three Haki and while you're probably thinking its OP given the Rinne-Sharingan you have to realize Naruto won't instantly master them and will take some time to gain access to his eyes numerous powers and he has to learn how to use Haki as well as use a weapon I plan to give him.

The Bijuu are a thing as I hinted at but it'll be a bit before they are revealed as they are settling into Naruto's pathways and the whole just being born thing.

I hope you all liked it

Until Next Time
