Chapter 1
A/N: So I'm re-watching the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arc, and I kinda thought Iceberg was awesome in his own way, (plus he was kinda cute when he was younger XD) So I thought, What the hell! Mind as well write a fanfic. I was bored okay? All characters belong to Oda (obviously). But still... Enjoy the show...!
Bright and sunny as usual in Water 7. All it's citizens were the same, always in a good mood. The city on the waves worked like clock work. And everyone was more than willing to do their part.
One place in particular was called Tom's Workers. There wasn't many of them, only consisting of five members, but they were quite well known throughout Water 7. Tom was a fishman, and the founder of Tom's workers, he had a secretary, a frog for a pet, and two young apprentices. The city knew them well, and recommended them to many people if they ever wanted something built or fixed, Tom could to it all. He was also considered the greatest shipwright in Water 7.
One day, while Tom and his workers were relaxing at home, a small knock at the door sounded faintly. Tom and his apprentices had just had their dinner and now where cracking up over Tom's stories and jokes. They hadn't heard the knock at the door. But Tom's secretary, who's name was Kokoro, answered the door, "Well hello dear." The two apprentices began to argue, (it was the sixth time that day). Then a small sweet voice said, "Hello, my name's Cherry. I'm selling flowers door to door. It's something new my boss came up with! Would you be interested in some this evening miss?" Kokoro gasped.
"They're lovely, but I'm afraid you'll have to ask my boss if he's willing to buy any, please, come in for a moment." The girl nodded and stepped inside. Kokoro spoke up, "Listen up boys! This little lass has come here to sell some flowers so pick some out TOM!" She shouted, which startled the girl at first. The boys stopped fighting and Tom stopped laughing at them. One of the boy's eyes widened at the sight of the small girl.
The fishman stood up. MAN! Was he tall! He took all the flowers from the little girl and said, "I think all of these are perfect for this place! What'd ya think boys?" The girl turned to the young boys sitting at the table. One had blue hair and goggles on his head and an open shirt, while the other had dark purple hair, a brown shirt, and his lips were strangely dark as well. The one with the blue hair shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever. It's up to you." But the other boy had his eyes wide open, his mouth too, he didn't say anything.
"How much for the flowers darlin'?" asked Tom.
"Twenty berries sir," she replied. Tom handed her the money as Kokoro got a vase.
"Thank you," said the girl putting the money in her little pouch.
"What's your name sweet thing?" asked Tom as Kokoro arranged the flowers.
"I'm Cherry!" she said cheerfully. He shook her hand, which everyone could see was extremely small in his own.
"I'm Tom." He turned to the boys, "And this is Cutty Flam and Iceberg!" She smiled and waved at them. Cutty Flam winked and pointed a finger at her while making a clicking sound with his mouth. This disturbed the other boy, but he didn't show it.
"Well, I should be going. I have to get today's profit to my boss or she won't be happy." She headed for the door.
"Hold on a minute little lady!" Tom called after her, "Make sure you come again tomorrow! And make sure you tell your boss I've never seen such beautiful flowers in Water 7!" She smiled, nodded once, and ran out the door. Iceberg's heart pounded the whole time.
