As soon as Luffy and Naruto arrived in town, they were greeted by a mini crowd gathered at their boat. "Hey, guys!" Luffy shouted as he tossed their supplies onto the boat.
Makino stepped forward. "Geez, look at you two! All grown up!" Her voice was filled with nostalgia as she admired how much they had changed since their last visit.
Luffy and Naruto exchanged shy smiles.
"Thanks for all the free ramen!" Naruto chimed in.
Ayame, her apron dusted with flour, approached and gently adjusted Naruto's jacket, her expression turning serious. "Naruto, be safe out there..." she said, her tone filled with motherly concern.
"And make sure you eat lots of yummy ramen!" Teuchi added, stepping beside her with a proud smile.
"C'mon, Old Man..." Naruto began. "No one's ramen is as good as yours!" he declared.
"Naruto, let's go!" Luffy called as he leaned against the boat, ready to set sail.
"Oh, right..." Naruto snapped back to reality "Bye, guys!" he shouted. Without missing a beat, he jumped onto the boat. "And don't forget to hang up our bounties!" Naruto added, cupping his hands around his mouth to make sure everyone heard.
The mayor crossed his arms. "Those two will ruin our town's reputation," he grumbled, casting a glance at the receding figures of Luffy and Naruto.
"Oh, you'll miss all of their pranks!" Makino chimed in.
The mayor let out a soft sigh, his expression softening. "It will definitely be more quiet..." he mumbled, watching the boat grow smaller as it sailed into the horizon.

It had only been a couple of hours since they set sail, but it was nothing like Naruto had imagined. The sea stretched endlessly around them, with no bustling adventures or wild chases in sight—just the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the ship and the occasional creak of wood. The gentle breeze ruffled Naruto's hair, but even that wasn't enough to break the monotony. He sprawled on the deck, staring at the endless blue sky above.
"Luffy... I'm so bored!" Naruto huffed dramatically, draping his arms over his head as if the weight of the world was crushing him. His voice carried the frustration of someone who had expected action from the moment they'd set sail.
Luffy, sitting cross-legged at the bow, glanced back at him with his usual carefree grin. "We've only been pirates for two hours," he said as if that was more than enough time to get used to it. "We gotta get a crew and a flag first." His eyes sparkled with excitement at the thought, already imagining their jolly Roger flying high.
