Trust. Such a fickle thing.

With a slight touch,

It wavers, and without courage

You can't do much.

The bridge between you crumples.

All you do is watch.

That person you loved with all your heart,

Wasn't your golden match.

"Save us!" She pleaded, tears running down her face.

"Please! We can't leave because there's a seal which only lets people on the outside open it!" The Hokage yelled shamelessly.

"What makes you think that we'll save you?" Kanki asked, and the leaders of the hidden village of the leaves went quiet.

"Why won't you? Isn't that common kindness?" Kushina asked, making them snarl in disgust.

"Don't you dare start about kindness. You haven't earned the right to talk about kindness in front of us!" Haruki exclaimed.

"What are you talking about!? We are the leaders of Konoha!"

"But you should've been the parents of Naruto first." They shut up once more.

"How do you know that?"

"Because I am Naruto." Natsuki took off her hood, revealing her disguised spikey blond hair and azure blue eyes.

"W-what? B-but, we- we sent you..."

"Yes, and I must thank you for that really... You sent me to a world of opposites... You gave me my crew, you gave me my adventures, you gave me my brains and power, because you gave birth to me, as a complete loner, who was stupid and powerless. You allowed me to be smart and strong, in this world of opposites. You were cold and distant, giving me a warm and close family. You let me have my friends, you let kami be on my side. So, thank you." Natsuki slowly returned to her original form, surprising the common sense out of them.

"Who are you!?"

"Yup, I became my opposite gender as well! Anyway, good bye, and I hope you die a horrible death." She grinned, waved goodbye, and walked away, ignoring the cries of her biological parents.

They leapt out of the cave, Kurama settling down and relaxing in Natsuki's mindscape.

The seasons stayed in this world for approximately a week, when summer suddenly collapsed.

"Natsuki!?" They all ran to her, surprised to see tears running down her face.

"Ace?" Natsuki slid on her mask.

"Natsuki! What happened!?" they all grabbed her shoulder, and they appeared on board the world-jumping seal on their very own Kaizoku-gunkan. They disappeared again and reappeared in front of Marineford.

It was absolute chaos.

With marine soldiers and pirates of all widths and sizes fighting neck to neck. There were already hundreds of casualties, and in the middle of them all was Natsuki's younger brothers.

Ace was on his execution platform, about to face the same end as his father.

Two men stood behind him, spears in hand, and behind the soldiers was Sengoku, ordering different soldiers with his den-den mushi. Next to Ace, sitting down was Garp, who was solemnly telling tales about Ace's birth.

Luffy was steadily advancing towards his older brother, when he was stopped by a famous man: the strongest swordsman in the world.

"HAWKEYE!" Luffy exclaimed, and Natsuki couldn't do anything, as she stood there, paralyzed.

Invisible shackles, anchors and weights pulled her down. She stood there helplessly as she watched the war wage on.

"Natsuki! Your orders!?" Haruki tried, but she wouldn't respond. Fuyuki took off her mask and was met by a pair of blank eyes. She was like a body left soulless.

"Natsuki? How long have you been training?" He asked, and she whispered a soft,

"Thirteen years."

"For what?"

"To protect my family. So that I wouldn't have to watch myself be helpless when my family are in need." She sounded surer by the end of her answer.

"Your brothers are dying there, and what are you doing? You're just watching, when you can do so much more!" He yelled at her, and she met his gaze.

She looked at the mask in his hand, took it from him, and threw it hard at the ground.

The shackles were broken, anchors were pulled up, weights were lifted, and she was free. She unsheathed her double-edged blade, and commanded.

"Uki! Heal all pirates! Aki! Kan! Haru! Fuyu! ATTACK!" They all ran in different directions, and Natsuki made ten kagebunshins. She herself, immediately disappeared, reappearing in front of her youngest brother. She met her uncle's blade with her own, and his surprise was visible.

"Tomo? Is that you?" He mumbled, staggering backward.

"No, uncle Hawk. It's your niece. Natsuki." She sliced down with her katana and he avoided it at a hair's distance. The floor cracked open, and the grounds of Marineford were divided in two. The pirates looked at the famous sword fighter, expecting the blow to have come from him, only just noticing that the sword he held seconds ago was in shreds, at his feet.

A woman, with blazing red hair, holding a double-edged katana to Mihawk's head stood in front of Luffy.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Akagami D. Natsuki. Nice to meet you uncle Mihawk. Luffy! What are you waiting for!? Go get Ace!!" Luffy stumbled onto his feet and began running at his brother once more.

"It's time to send you back to the starting line." Kizaru drawled out, as he kicked Luffy at the speed of light. Thankfully, Jimbe stopped Luffy from flying too far.

Whitebeard's division commanders aided Luffy into trying to get past Kizaru, but it was obvious that it was a one sided match. Until Natsuki surged forward again.

"How come you're here? Where's Mihawk!?" Borsalino looked panicked. He thought he could fight easily, since the one who defeated him last time was not here.

He looked back at Mihawk, to see that Natsuki was still battling him. How were there two of the same people?

"Long time no see Kizaru? How was the first time to be defeated by a pirate?" Natsuki asked, cutting down at Kizaru's torso.

"I've never fought you!"

"Oh yes you have. Remember? At Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Then you're! You're-" Kizaru fell to the ground, unconscious, as Natsuki used her Emperor's haki on him. The same happened with Mihawk, and two of the strongest men on sight were defeated in a second.

"OYAJI!!!" The crew of Whitebeard shouted as Squard, one of the new generation crew stabbed him in the stomach.

Natsuki signalled to Uki from the other side of the battlefield, and she began her magic.

The pirates looked up into the clouds as their energy was replenished, wounds sizzled and healed, strength welling up inside them.

"It's the Raining Miracle!" Someone exclaimed, and the Marine's attention was suddenly on her. Sengoku began to panic. There was a mysterious girl who somehow managed to defeat both Mihawk and Kizaru, and another girl who was healing the pirates.

"Marines! Look for Ryokuryuu, Drying Desert, Forest Fighter, Jack Frost and the Striking Vixen! They never travel without each other!!!" He yelled, panicking suddenly as their chances of winning levelled down.

Surely enough. In the corner of his eye, he saw people falling to the ground, quite thin compared to what he was used to seeing. He saw a man with an eyepatch running in the midst of it, tapping people with his finger, watching them as the liquid was sucked out of the soldiers. Not enough to kill them, but enough to exhaust them and overwhelm them with fatigue.

Another thing he found in the corner of his eye was a woman, who seemingly out of nowhere, made a massive vine cage, which was 'eating' the soldiers, tripping and dragging the soldiers inside its cage. She ran around the fields of men with a hard look on her face, as she tapped their joints and body parts, making them immobile.

Green hair caught his attention as a boy ran around the battlefield, disappearing and appearing everywhere, stabbing people with his swords, and punching them in the gut with haki enhanced fists.

Finally, high up in the sky was a man holding a shepherd stick. He was floating on a small cloud serenely, but beneath the cloud was a massive snowstorm, freezing anyone who happened to be beneath it, including the pirates, but then Uki would immediately thaw Fuyuki's victims.

Sengoku searched and searched, but he could not find the Striking Vixen, until he felt someone suddenly appear behind him.

"Hello Sengoku." A woman he expected to be the Striking Vixen called. He turned around to find the girl who defeated both Mihawk and Kizaru standing between he and Garp. The two men guarding Ace collapsed.

"Who are you?"

"How cold. You don't recognise me because I don't have a mask?" She complained.

"You're the face behind the mask!?"

"And he's hit the jackpot!!" She exclaimed, and Ace, despite his 'father' just being stabbed, smiled a little.

"Natsuki? Why are you here? How are you here?"

"Ojii-chan, my seal notifies me when a person with my seal is in danger, like now. Come on Ace, let's set you free." Natsuki smiled painfully at Ace.

Though making it look easy, defeating those two whilst using a kagebunshin, which wasn't one of her strong suits sapped a large amount of her energy.

She shot his shackles with her revolver, and his shackles snapped in two. Ace stood up and rubbed his wrists, frowning at the red marks it left.

"Thank you Natsu-nee." Ace hugged her, and she smiled back.

"You! You're related to Fire Fist?" Sengoku was still unable to comprehend what the hell was going on in front of him.

"Sengoku... I am the eldest sister of Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, and Monkey D. Luffy. I am the granddaughter of Garp, and the daughter of Dracule Tomomi. So before you go around like a stuttering oaf, why don't you actually start thinking of ways to capture me?" She smirked at him, and the siblings jumped down from the execution platform, carefully avoiding a fist which came from their grandfather, after he was ordered to get the two of them.

Gears turned and clicked in Sengoku's head. Tomomi's daughter, but with red hair... Red hair... He remembered a really old gossip magazine he was forced to read by one of his colleagues, one which said something along the lines of: He remembered seeing Shanks' face next to Tomomi's, both flushed red in the article.

She was the daughter of Akagami no Shanks!!

"You brats! I'll get you! Just you wait!" Garp's yell interrupted his thoughts.

"If we waited, we'd be around for a thousand years! You're too slow old man!" Ace yelled back, and Garp tried to jump after, until Natsuki made a kagebunshin to stop him.

"You just had to say..." Natsuki groaned, until she saw, "LUFFY!!!!!!"

Luffy was obliviously running towards Ace and herself, not noticing Akainu and Aokiji who had come behind him.

"Wah!" He ducked, holding his head, when his irises turned silver, sending out a shocking wave of haki, making the two admirals collapse. The field of marines silenced, as more and more people collapsed, unconscious.

"Whoever defeated these two, thank you!" Luffy smiled once he realised he wasn't dead, and there were no longer two admirals after him.

Natsuki looked at Luffy with beaming pride. So Luffy had the Haoushoku as well!

"Seasons! Assemble!" She exclaimed, and immediately five people came running at her. Natsuki collapsed into Fuyuki's arms and he swiftly caught her, realising how tired she was.

Ace looked at him sceptically and glared hard. Fuyuki returned the glare, and they realised that they were similar people. Ace decided he was worthy of his sister, and Fuyuki acknowledged his captain's brother. Luffy laughed with Haruki and Kanki, playing pranks on each other.

Sengoku looked at the battlefield. No matter how you looked at it, the Pirates had won. He glanced at the group of the pirates beneath the executionary platform, and rage bubbled inside him. If they hadn't appeared, they would have won!

"To the rest of the world listening to this. I have a report to make. Earlier, I had announced that the father of Portgas D. Ace was the pirate king, Gol D. Roger, and Monkey D. Luffy's father was Dragon, the revolutionary. Well, I have another big announcement to make. The Striking Vixen, an abominable pirate troubling us for years, has just been found out to be these two pirates' older sister! Having the father of the Pirate Emperor! Red Haired Shanks!" He announced, and Natsuki cursed loudly.

"Her mother was Dracule Tomomi, older sister of Dracule Mihawk, who held the previous title of strongest swordswoman!" He continued to tell, and a camera den-den mushi captured Natsuki's face, scaring the snail who just happened to take a photo of her glaring hard at Sengoku.

"That little piece of shit." She whispered and staggered onto her feet. She tried to step forward, but her adrenaline rush had ended. Her body was beginning to feel the aftermath of the toil of her techniques. She blinked for what felt like a second, but when she opened her eyes, Sengoku was right next to her, in his devil fruit form, his fist coated with haki, as he plunged his hand into Ace's body, trying to protect Luffy.
