Chapter One: Alvida arrives.

"*huff* *huff* Stupid, *huff* raggedy, *huff* no-name *huff* excuse for a pirate! *huff* *huff*" said Alvida angrily as she dragged herself from the ocean where she had been adrift for the last two day. 'I can't believe I'm still alive.' she thought to herself as she hauled her massive form farther upon the beach, and away from the sea. As soon as she was far enough in to avoid being sucked into the tide she collapsed from sheer exhaustion.

As she lay there, dripping with salt water and gasping for fresh air, she could not help but flash back to the moment which had caused all her despair. 'That mangy straw-hat' she thought to herself. Although her eyes stared openly at the palm tree surrounded by white sands in front of her, all she saw was visions of that moment.

It had been a relatively simple mission: board the ship, steal everything of value, and be on her merry way. A monkey could have pulled it off! But it was a monkey that had gotten in her way. Monkey D. Luffy, at least she thought that was his name. He not only turned that worthless brat Cody against her, but also beat up her entire crew, and sent her flying with one of his Devil's Fruit powered attacks. She could still feel those fists of his from where they had slammed into her stomach. Besides pain, there was another feeling that she had received from that blow, but she had yet to be able to identify what it was.

'If I ever get my hands on that good-for-nothin' straw hat again, I'll smash him so hard not even his rubber body will be able to save him!' she screamed in her head. 'But first I better find out where the heck I am.'

She slowly started to move her enormous arms from the ground to lift her hulking form. As she slowly began to rise from the sand, she strained her eyes to focus. She lifted her head to see a blurry image of what appeared to be a jungle, with something else in front of it. Make that a couple of something elses. She could barely make out a series of tall forms standing in front of the misty green background.

She lifted her meaty fist from the ground on which she was still bent over to rub her eyes. As she took a second look thing slowly started to get into focus. And then all of the sudden everything snapped into focus clear as day.

Her jaw dropped to the ground and her eyes became as big as dinner plates. Standing in front of her were around twenty of the handsomest men she had ever seen, all wearing nothing but purple loin-clothes, and some neck jewelry. Normally she would have assumed that this was a glorious, glorious dream…had it not been for the fact that each of these men had a large spear pointed directly at her.

'So this is the way it all ends.' She thought to herself. 'Oh well, if this is the way I die, I couldn't have asked for a more glorious death.' She closed her eyes and smiled as she waited for the end to come, but oddly enough, nothing happened. She opened her eyes with a confused look upon her face.

All the men that had been pointing spears at her just moments before were now backing away. They were all staring at her with looks she had never received from anyone before, and did not recognize. "Uh, what are you guys starin' at?" she asked while scratching the side of her face. 'I wonder if there's stuck to my face.' she thought to herself.

All of the handsome men continued to back up before suddenly fall in to their their knees. "Bijin-sama!!" they all shouted in unison.

"Eeeehhhh!!!" cried Alvida, her face assuming an astonished expression including huge blank eyes and gaping mouth. "Bijin-sama? Me?" she said pointing to herself, and wondering if they were really talking about her. No one had ever called her that without being forced to. Although Alvida did consider herself to be the most beautiful woman in all the seas, for these amazingly handsome men to all proclaim her as such just by looking at her was almost too much to grasp.

"Yes Bijin-sama. We are most definitely talking about you." stated the male in the front. He had wild brown hair that ran down both sides of his face to frame his face in the most perfect of ways. "Forgive me for being so blunt, but I cannot hold back these words any longer. You are indeed the most beautiful of women to ever step foot upon this island!" He said in his sensual voice, which was soon echoed by a chorus of agreement from the other men.

It took Alvida all of a second to compose herself before smiling, closing her eyes, and grasping her round freckled face between her pointer and thumb. "Well, I'm glad you boys noticed."

"Please, you must come to our village. It would be the worst day in all of history if the villagers missed an opportunity to see a figure as glorious as you." proclaimed the man with the wild hair.

Alida let out a loud, happy laugh."Well why not?" said Alvida, a huge grin plastering her ample face. "Take me away." And Alvida and the men set off into the jungle towards the mysterious village of the handsome men.
