East Blue: Somewhere in the sea.
There was a merchant ship bustling with activity. Its passengers were celebrating, dancing, and peacefully mingling with each other.
They were having a really good time.
But like all good times, it must come to an end.
Pirates!!!
They're the pirates!!!
A deckhand shouted anxiously and headed towards the captain's cabin.
"What?!!"
"Pirates??!"
"Are we going to die??!!"
Panic spread among the passengers like wildfire as they started running and dashing towards the lifeboats.
"What's going on?!! Where did the pirates come from??!!".
The captain shouted angrily while questioning his underlings.
"I don't know, Captain. They came out of nowhere!! We didn't see them coming!!".
"Damn!!"
The captain cursed angrily and then asked, "Is the pirate crew known?"
The deckhand tensed and trembled with fear and then said, "They're... the Alvida pirates, Captain!!".
"The Alvida pirates!!!".
The captain screamed in shock and fell to the ground in astonishment.
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
At that moment, the sound of cannon explosions was heard and the ship shook violently.
The captain stood up, pulled himself together and said "quickly!! Evacuate the ship!! And escape before the pirates attack!!".
The passengers and workers ran and climbed into the lifeboats and escaped with their lives.
At that moment, a large pink ship approached the merchant ship.
The bow of the ship was shaped like a swan's head and the huge sails had large heart patterns on them.
The pirate flag was a skull and crossbones with a heart symbol on it. It was the Alvida pirate ship.
Alvida was a pirate with a bounty of 5 million berries.
Her reputation was feared throughout the East Blue.
Because of her awesome power.
"Come on men, get them!! Don't let them escape!!".
A harsh female voice was heard on the pirate ship.
"Aaaahhh!! Let's finish them off!!"
The Alvida pirates screamed loudly and ran towards the merchant ship, jumped on top of it and started looting the passengers and throwing them into the sea.
"Hahahahahaha!!."
"No one can escape from my clutches, Alvida!!".
Alvida said arrogantly as she watched her men successfully loot the ship and take all the treasures.
Alvida is an ugly woman with a face covered in grease, pimples, and disgusting pus coming out of the pimples on her face.
She is very fat and had the body of a bear. She is dressed like a cowboy and had an iron mace on her shoulder.
"Coby!! Come here!!"
Alvida shouted at a teenage boy who looked about fourteen years old.
The boy had a slim body, a big head, pink hair, glasses, and was wearing traditional sailor clothes.
Coby quickly ran to Alvida while trembling with extreme fear." "Yes… Yes, Alvida-sama??"
Alvida looked at Coby with extreme disdain and then said, "Who is the most beautiful woman in the sea, Coby?!"
"It's… It's definitely you, Alvida-sama." Coby said with extreme fear as he looked down in fear.
Alvida smiled arrogantly and then said, "That's right, well done, Coby."
Then she fell silent and looked at Cobbe and slapped him hard on the face.
Cobbe flew away from the force of the slap and hit several wooden barrels.
"Now clean the ship you useless boy!!" Alvida shouted at Cobbe angrily then jumped towards the merchant ship and started to loot the other women's jewelry.
"Yes, Alvida-sama".
Cobbe said very slowly and fearfully then got up from the ground and wiped the blood from his nose and started to clean the big ship by himself.
Meanwhile, there was a beautiful and slim girl who looked about eighteen years old watching the situation on the ship carefully.
The girl had a slim figure, a pretty face, orange eyes and hair.
'Good, they've all abandoned the ship, now I can steal from them'.
The girl thought to herself and ignored Cobbe then went inside Alvida's ship to steal all the treasure.
After two hours, Alvida and her pirate crew finished stealing all the property and treasure of the merchant ship.
They started carrying the provisions and money to their ship.
Coby looked at the scene sadly and thought 'another raid and more innocent people being looted and killed by Alvida while I stand here doing nothing but sucking up to this fat, arrogant ugly woman'.
Coby clenched his fists and thought angrily.
"Hey Coby!! What are you doing there?? Come and get the luggage inside quickly!!"
One of Alvida's men shouted at Coby angrily. "
Yes... I'll be right there."
Coby answered fearfully and all the anger he felt dissipated.
Coby moved all the stolen luggage inside. Then he sat on the deck and panted heavily from exhaustion.
Punk.
pock.
Suddenly Coby heard strange sounds.
It was as if something had hit the ship.
Coby stood up then looked at the sea and saw two wooden barrels hitting the ship.
Coby adjusted his glasses and said "what is that? Two wooden barrels??"
"Hey Coby!! What are you doing there!!".
Three pirates called out to Coby then headed towards him.
The pirates stopped in front of Coby and one of them said, "What's the matter Coby? Are you slacking off again?"
"No... no, I just saw two barrels in the sea, nothing more".
"Hmm, two barrels??"
The pirates looked at each other and then looked at the sea and indeed they found two barrels floating on the surface of the sea and colliding with the ship.
One of the pirates smiled and said, "Wow! Those are really huge barrels. They might be full of good sake!! Let's pull the barrels, guys!!"
Then the pirates and Coby started pulling the barrels. Then they lifted them and took them to the pantry.
The pirates put the barrels down and sighed with exhaustion.
One of the pirates wiped his sweat and said, "Those were really heavy barrels. I hope they contain some good sake."
Then the pirates looked at each other and said, "Why don't we open them and see what's in them, guys?"
Coby stepped forward and said fearfully, "But... But Alvida-sama will be angry if she finds out about this".
"Huh?"
The pirates looked at Coby with contempt and said, "Alvida won't know about this unless someone tells her".
Then one of them walked over to Coby and put a dagger to his neck and said, "You'll be a good boy and keep quiet about it, won't you, Coby?"
Coby trembled from the dagger on his neck and then said in a scared voice, "Yes... I won't talk about it ever again, I promise".
"Good." A pirate said coldly, then he walked over to one of the barrels and said.
"This barrel is heavier than the other one, let's open it first".
The pirate approached a barrel and was about to open it but something strange and inexplicable happened.
"Aaaah!! I slept so well!!".
Suddenly the barrel exploded and a teenage boy who looked about seventeen years old came out of it.
The boy waved his hands happily and accidentally punched the pirate who was trying to open the barrel.
Aaaah!!
The pirate screamed in pain and ran to the other side of the room and fell unconscious.
The boy looked around and said "Ah, sleeping in a barrel was really comfortable. Now I wonder where Naruto is."
The boy was wearing a red sleeveless shirt, blue shorts, sandals and a straw hat on his head.
Luffy looked at Coby and the rest of the shocked pirates and said "Who are you??"
"Who are you?!"
The other two pirates shouted angrily.
Luffy ignored the question and got out of the barrel and looked around and said "Oh so I'm on some ship. I wonder if there's any food here."
Then Luffy looked at the unconscious pirate who hit him and said "huh? What's wrong with this guy? Why is he sleeping on the floor? Doesn't he know he's going to catch a cold like this??"
"You did this to him!!"
The other two pirates shouted angrily at Luffy.
"Oh really?? Then I'm sorry".
Luffy said simply and ignored them and started looking for food.
The two pirates looked at Luffy very angrily then took out their weapons and said "hey stop there!!"
Luffy stopped and said
"hmmm what's wrong??".
Luffy stopped and asked the pirates in surprise.
The pirates pointed their swords at Luffy then said "who are you and what are you doing on this ship?? Answer us quickly!"
Luffy looked at Coby and the pirates then said "I am Luffy, and What I do on this ship is none of your business".
The pirates looked at Luffy with anger and then approached Luffy and pointed their swords at him with angry expressions.
"Hey! Listen to us, you idiot!! You stormed our ship and attacked our comrade. You'd better surrender and give us everything you have, or we'll kill you!".
Luffy looked at the pirates who were threatening him with their swords and said, "Kill me?"
Then he smiled widely and said, "No, I won't die, especially at the hands of weaklings like you."
"Huh?? What did you say??!, you bastard!!"
The pirates shouted angrily at Luffy then attacked him and swung their swords at him.
Luffy easily dodged the blows, then punched one of them and kicked the other.
The pirates flew and slammed into the room's door with force.
KABOOM!
The door ripped off its hinges and the pirates fell to the ground.
They looked at Luffy with shock and fear, then got up and quickly ran to the deck of the ship.
'Wow! He's so strong!'
Coby thought in amazement as he looked at Luffy with awe.
"Huh?? They escaped? They are really weak, and cowards".
Luffy said with a disappointed smirk then he walked towards Coby and said "Hey glass boy is there food on this ship??"
Coby looked at Luffy then said "Yes... Yes there is food in the storage".
"Storage?? That's awesome there must be a lot of food there!!".
Luffy said with an excited expression then said to Coby "where is the storage?? Can you show me the way to go there??"
Coby looked at Luffy with a surprised expression then said "Okay... Follow me from here".
Coby said to Luffy then they started heading towards the storage but before they got out of the room they heard a strange sound in the place.
Luffy and Coby turned to the source of the sound and found another barrel shaking violently.
The barrel shook then fell and rolled towards Coby and Luffy.
Luffy looked at the barrel and easily stopped it with his foot.
"Huh?? What's with this barrel?"
Coby said in surprise while looking at the barrel.
Suddenly the barrel head opened and a blond haired human head came out of it.
"Haaa!"
Naruto inhaled the air heavily then said "Finally some fresh air!!".
Naruto looked at Luffy who was putting his foot on the barrel and at Coby who was looking at him in surprise and said,
"Luffy! You're alive! Who is that with you? And where are we?".
Luffy smiled happily when he found Naruto safe and sound and said' " "hi Naruto! How did you find sleeping in a barrel??"
Naruto got out of the barrel then stood up and dusted himself off and said to Luffy.
"It's horrible!! I hope I never step into a barrel again!!".
Naruto turned and said to Coby "Hey glass boy is there any ramen around here??".
Coby sweat dropped and thought 'these two really look alike the first thing that comes to their minds is food'.
Naruto approached Coby and said "Hey what's wrong? I'm talking to you?"
"Oh huh there's no ramen on this ship unfortunately".
"Huh? No ramen!! This is bad!"
Naruto said angrily then turned to Luffy and said "Luffy! We have to get out of this bad place! And look for another place that has ramen!".
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Don't worry Naruto, we'll sail through many islands in the future and we'll definitely find someone who serves ramen".
Luffy laughed at Naruto's expression then turned to Coby and said "Hey glass boy, take us to the food storage room!"
Coby nodded slowly then led Luffy and Naruto to the storage room.
Meanwhile with the pirates.
Two pirates whom Luffy easily defeated ran up to Alvida and shouted, "Captain Alvida, there is an intruder!!
"Huh? Intruder on my ship??".
"Yes, Captain Alvida!. Coby just brought a stranger with him!"
"What could it be? Someone who came to capture me and get a reward?!, Coby! That brat dares to betray me?!"
Alvida said with an angry expression.
One of the crew members looked and said, "Could it be that famous guy…?"
But another pirate interrupted him fearfully, "Nonsense! I heard he's still being held by the navy!"
Alvida smiled and then said, "If it's really him, then he's escaped from the navy. That famous evil, Roronoa Zoro!".
Meanwhile with the heroes of the story.
Naruto and Luffy jumped on the food in the storage room like hungry beasts and ate the food greedily.
Coby looked at the scene in amazement then said "Wow you guys are eating like you've never tasted food before".
Naruto swallowed a piece of bread then said "that's because we were stuck in barrels for days".
"By the way, how did you two end up in wooden barrels??"
Coby asked the question that had been really puzzling him.
Luffy swallowed a big apple in one bite then said "our boat sank and swept into a whirlpool at sea so we jumped into barrels to survive".
"What do you mean you swept into a whirlpool?! and then hid in barrels??!!"
Coby asked in shock as he looked at Naruto and Luffy.
"Yes, at first we were terrified and didn't know what to do but suddenly Luffy had this genius idea that saved our lives! Before today I never imagined that I would say Luffy and genius in the same sentence since he is so stupid!, Believe it!!".
Naruto said with an excited expression while explaining the previous situation to him.
"Hahahahaha!!"
"You are so funny Naruto, did you forget that you are stupider than me?? You wouldn't believe what Naruto did when I first met him, glass boy! At that time I invited Naruto to join my crew and he agreed but guess what??!".
Luffy said to Coby with huge smile.
"Hey! Luffy! Stop!"
Naruto shouted embarrassedly to Luffy and tried to silence him.
Luffy moved away from Naruto and then said to Coby, "it turns out he doesn't know the meaning of the word pirate!!"
"Hahahahaha!!".
Luffy fell to the ground and kept laughing hard when he finished speaking.
"Haaaa!! Luffy you bastard I will defeat you!!. Believe it!!".
Naruto shouted angrily and lunged at Luffy and then they started wrestling on the ground.
'Huh? What weird people'. Coby thought to himself while sweating profusely then said to Luffy and Naruto
"Wait Luffy-sam did you just say pirate crew so that means you and Naruto-san are... pirates??"
Naruto and Luffy stopped fighting and looked at Coby and said "yeah we are pirates".
Coby was silent for a while then slowly said "okay".
Then he thought to himself 'they don't look like pirates at all!'.
"By the way Coby what is this place??" Luffy asked while eating a huge piece of jerked meat.
"Oh we are on the pirate ship "Iron Club Alvida" and I am the keeper of this ship Coby".
"I see that, actually, that's not important". Luffy said with a stiff expression while eating.
"Wait a minute! you mean we are on a pirate ship??!"
Suddenly Naruto stopped eating and stars shone in his eyes.
Coby looked at Naruto and nodded and said "yes".
"That's cool!!".
Naruto shouted excitedly then started running around and inspecting the ship carefully.
Coby sweat dropped and said "what's wrong with your friend Luffy-san".
"Ah, he's never seen a pirate ship before that's why he's excited, leave him alone he'll get tired and stop by himself after a while". Luffy answered while taking more food.
"Hey Coby is there a boat on this ship?" Luffy asked Coby as he ate more food.
Coby shuddered then said as he looked at the ground "Yes, there is a small lifeboat I've been working on".
"That's great!!, would you lend it to us? Our boat was wrecked by the whirlpool".
Luffy said with a smile on his face.
"Fine. It's here, follow me".
Coby said to Luffy then they went to the other side of the room.
Coby stopped in front of a white cloth covering something large then lifted the cloth.
Then a dilapidated handmade boat appeared.
Luffy looked at the boat in amazement while holding a piece of meat and said "What is this? A coffin??".
"This is a boat I built in secret in two years". Coby answered Luffy in a calm voice.
Luffy looked at Coby in surprise and said "Two years?! You don't want it anymore??".
Coby looked at the boat then said "Yes.. I don't want it anymore I was going to run away with it but I don't have the courage for that... Looks like I'll have to keep a guard up my whole life I thought I had something else I wanted to do".
Luffy looked at Coby and said "Then you have to go".
Coby shook his head fearfully and said "No!!.. I can't! This won't work!! Whenever I think about Alvida-sama finding out about me, I tremble with fear and panic!".
Coby looked at Luffy and said with a sad and scared expression "that day I was just fishing but I stumbled upon this ship!! And I had to work as a guard for all these two years to stay alive!".
Luffy looked at Coby then said "You are an idiot and useless".
Then he smiled and said "You look like a coward too I don't like you".
"Hee hee hee" Coby laughed shyly then said with a trembling voice "But you're right... If i were brave enough..."
Then he doubted and clenched his fists tightly then asked Luffy.
"By the way Luffy-san why are you sailing??"
Luffy stopped eating then smiled and said "because I want to become the King of the Pirates!".
"Eh!! What.. What??! King of Pirates!"
"That's the title of the one who owns everything in this world!!".
Coby screamed in shock then stood up and said "You want to tell me that you are searching for the greatest treasure in the world!!"
"The One Piece!!"
"Do you want to die or what? Every pirate in the world is searching for this treasure!!".
Coby screamed at Luffy.
Luffy sat cross-legged replied "Okay, I'm searching for it too."
Coby looked at Luffy in surprise then said "Impossible.. Absolutely impossible. To be the Pirate King in the Age of Pirates. You don't stand a chance!! Absolutely impossible!!".
Puck!
Luffy got up and punched Coby on the head and shut him up.
"Ah why did you hit me??!!".
Coby screamed in pain while holding his head.
"Because I couldn't stand to hear you" Luffy answered with an annoyed expression.
Coby got up then said "Hey.. hey it's okay I'm used to being hit anyway."
Luffy grabbed his hat then said "I'm not afraid of death."
"What?!" Coby ask in surprise.
Luffy took off his hat and looked at it and said with a serious expression "Because this is my dream and that's why I wouldn't mind dying for it."
Coby looked at Luffy with shock and thought, 'What a terrible dream!'
Then he said to Luffy with a trembling voice, "You wouldn't mind even if you died??".
Then Luffy put his hat on his chest and said, "In addition, I think I can do it, although it might be difficult".
Coby was shocked by Luffy's words and thought in shock, 'I've never thought like this before!!'.
"Hey, Luffy! Don't forget me, I also have a great dream!!".
At this moment, Naruto entered, standing upside down on the roof of the room, looking at Luffy and Coby with a serious expression.
Coby looked up and found Naruto standing on the roof of the room easily as if it was the ground, then he fell to the ground and trembled with fear and shouted,
"You...you're standing upside down on the roof?!".
Luffy smiled at Coby's expression and said with a big smile, "Yes, Naruto here can do many things because he is a ninja".
"Ninja?? But.. But this is impossible, there are no ninjas, they are only in imagination!!".
Coby stood up and shouted at Luffy loudly.
"What?? What do you mean there are no ninjas!!".
Naruto said angrily and landed in front of Coby.
Coby stood up and looked at Naruto and said "what I mean is that ninjas are just an old fairy tale".
"Huh?! How dare you say that?! I will show you what a ninja can do!!".
Naruto shouted angrily then made a hand gesture and said Multiple Harem Clone Jutsu!!".
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
Several white smokes exploded and then several beautiful naked girls came out of the smoke who were looking at Coby with flirtatious looks.
"What??!!".
Coby screamed in shock and blood spurted from his nose and fell on the ground.
Hahahahaha!!
"This is so funny!!" Luffy laughed and rolled on the ground violently.
The clones dissipated and Naruto came out of the smoke and said "Take this!! what do you think?? Are ninjas real now or what??!!".
Coby got up with difficulty while covering his nose which was bleeding from the sight he saw.
Then he said "okay okay ninjas are real please don't do this again".
"Hahahahaha!!"
"You're like the third grandfather and Jiraiya sensei there were deeply affected by this jutsu!!".
Naruto laughed at Coby's stubbornness and said happily.
Coby stood up with difficulty and collected himself and said "this is amazing!!, I didn't know that ninja were real before today!".
Naruto smiled and pointed to his metal headband and said "ninja are very real and I am a shinobi from the hidden leaf village, Uzumaki Naruto and I aspire to become the Hokage!!"
"Believe it!"
Coby looked at Naruto in surprise and then said "Hokage?? What is a Hokage?".
"The Hokage is the leader and protector of the ninja village and he is the strongest ninja in the village!!".
"And I aspire to surpass all the Hokage and become the greatest Hokage in history!!".
"Wow this is very amazing".
Coby said with great surprise.
Luffy smiled and looked at Coby and said "so Coby do you have a dream like us?".
"Who? Me?".
Coby trembled violently then said "can I achieve my dream too?"
Then he sat on the ground slumped and said "will I be able to become a member of the marines?!".
Naruto looked at Coby in surprise and said "marines? What is this?".
Coby trembled and tears streamed from his eyes then he looked at Luffy and Naruto and said,
"Luffy-san!, Naruto-san!, I know this means we will become enemies but joining the marines and capturing bad guys has always been my dream!!".
Then Coby stood up and said to Luffy and Naruto,
"Do you think I can do it!".
Luffy and Naruto looked at Coby and said in complete harmony and honestly
"I don't know"×2.
Coby clenched his fists and trembled violently then said,
"At least I have to try! I'd rather die trying to get out of here and join the marines.. than stay here as a Guardian for the rest of my life! Then I'll be able to capture someone like Alvida!!".
Boom!!
Suddenly the roof exploded when Coby finished speaking and Alvida fell with her huge prostration in the middle of the place and said
"who do you mean you want to arrest, Coby?!".
