As the Uzumaki Pirate were nearing Goa Kingdom, Naruto asks, "I don't want to pry, but what is your past with Akainu?"

Saga answers, "When I was young, both of my parents were Vice-Admirals under Akainu. They were of the Moral Justice, and disobeyed Akainu's orders. So he put a... Lava fist through each of their... Hearts, which killed them instantly."

Burgru, with tears threatening to fall, put his giant hand on Saga's shoulder in a way of comfort. While Neji, and Naruto nodded respectfully. They weren't one for emotion.

The Uzumaki Pirates soon saw the Relentless, sitting there just off the coast. Like previously mentioned it is bigger than a standard Marine Cruiser, but smaller than a Battleship. The ship has three masts, two with two sails and one with a lateen sail. It has ten cannons on each side, a triple-barreled turret in front instead of a figurehead, swivel cannons on each side (Front and Back). Near the back of the Relentless, on each side are small paddle-wheels, and the bottom is coated with seastone. Unlike most Marine Ships, the Relentless is painted red, with pink flame-like roses all over it.

Naruto blanched at the paint scheme. He'd definitely change it. Maybe orange, and blue like ANBU, just without the flames. All though, Naruto would probably leave it up to a vote.

Anyway, Naruto says, "I'm going to steal some information on the Relentless, before we steal it. This will also let me see who is guarding it."

Not that he is bragging, but he is a prodegenus shinobi, like the world has never seen. All though, he couldn't graduate early, his two Sensei's taught him everything they knew, and more. Especially with Orochimaru's experiments, which neither Jiraiya, nor Hiruzen liked, or cared for. He himself didn't like them that much, but being able to passively take in nature chakra, is a huge plus. It took away the weakness of the time limit, and having to stay completely still to use it.

Naruto then says, "Make sure, it does leave the waters of Goa Kingdom. If it does, then, we do not have a ship. Which means we can not go to any of the other oceans. When it's time to steal it, I'll signal you."

Neji asks, "How will we know?"

Naruto just smirks in response. After a couple seconds though, he says, "You just know."

This is when he sees his crew nod, Naruto jumps, landing on the water. Naruto then runs to the shore, while turning invisible. When he gets on shore, Naruto makes a single hand seal. He whispers, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)!"

In a puff of smoke twenty Shadow Clones appear. Naruto says, "Read through everything you can get on the Relentless, and every Marine here."

After a while of creeping through the Marine Camp, killing all who got in his way, Naruto got a memory of... Akainu. "What the fuck is he doing here? Well that just made this a hundred times harder," thinks Naruto.

Then Naruto freezes in his spot, as he hears a voice behind him. Naruto, without even turning around, knows who it is. Akainu says, "I know your there!"

Akainu is an incredibly tall, light-skinned, unusually muscular man He's about as tall as his fellow admirals, with a square-shaped face, very pronounced facial features, and short black hair. He stands at 306 cm (10'). He also has brown eyes

Akainu wears a standard Marine cap and sports a crimson, double-breasted suit, decorated with what appears to be a pink rose on his left buttonhole. Unlike many high-ranking Marines, he does not wear a tie, but instead leaves his light colored flower-patterned shirt unbuttoned, showing his muscular neck and part of his tattoo. He wears black gloves and black shoes.

The tattoo on the left side of his chest is light-blue, containing numerous images of flowers integrated into its design. Akainu's tattoo has flame-shaped edges, and it extends from the admiral's left shoulder to his hip, covering part of his back and ribs. He has another, smaller tattoo in the shape of a black sword on his right deltoids and a small part of the biceps. Not that Naruto knows about the Tattoo.

Naruto jumps high into the air. While turning visible, he weaves through hand seals. Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. The Uzumaki yells, "Katon: Endan (Fire Release: Flame Bullet)!" Naruto then gathers oil in their mouth, which is created by chakra, spitting it out, and igniting it.

All though before it can hit, Akainu transforms his fists into pure lava before throwing it forward, like an over-sized rocket. He yells, "Dai Funka (Great Explosion)!" With the rocket of lava hitting the fire, and consuming it.

All though, at this point Naruto is already on his way back to the ground. Once on the ground, Naruto weaves through hand seals, once more. Tiger → Ox → Tiger → Rat. Naruto yells, "Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Bullet Technique)!" He then expels a large quantity of water in the form of a powerful torrent aimed towards Akainu, hitting him straight in the stomach, and going through Akainu.

Akainu then points both fists into the air and fires a great number of magma fists upwards in order to let them rain down upon the battlefield, causing enormous amounts of area damage. He yells, "Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano)!"

Akainu then watches as a Magma fist hits Naruto, only for him to disappear in a puff of smoke. He then hears Naruto, who is sailing away on the Relentless. Akainu then turns to see Naruto, and his crew. Naruto then enhances his voice with chakra, and yells, "Akainu! You shall remember this day, as the day you almost caught the Captain of the Uzumaki Pirates: Naruto D. Uzumaki!" He then ends it with a somewhat drunk, and gentlemanly bow.

Akainu roars in anger, and shoots a magma fist Naruto's way. All though, Naruto was out of range. Which made Akainu even more mad. He grabs his Den Den Mushi, and calls HQ. He then makes a bounty on Naruto for 90,000,000 Beli.

Meanwhile on the Relentless, Burgru asks, "So, where are we going next?"

Naruto answers, "Conomi Islands. More specifically Cocoyasi Village."

Neji then asks, "Why there?"

Naruto answers, "It is where my Navigator lives."
