Hey, I'm back! I hope you like this one.

And thank you to my dear beta TheWorldIsACesspoolOfImbeciles :)

The hall was empty.,

Nami could have smacked herself.

"That's what I get for trusting a reindeer," she muttered, annoyed. "Okay, there has to be a way out of here."

There were four doors in the room, two made of metal and two made of wood, all of them showing signs of wear on their handles. She tried each of them without success, beginning to feel panic setting in. No, Nami, you have to calm down. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, focusing on resolving the situation, "Observe," her father had always said. When she opened her eyes, there was a table with a golden key in front of her. That's curious, Nami thought.

She took the key and tried on all the doors, but it was too small for any of them. Irritated, she kicked one of the walls. Plaster cracked and fell, revealing a tiny door, the perfect size for a large dog. Huh, that's weird...She crouched, tried the key, and to her relief, the door opened. Unfortunately, it was far too small. Of course. Frustration had begun to fray Nami's nerves, and she had to bite her lip to keep from screaming. Was anything easy here?

Out of nowhere, a bottle appeared on the table.

Drink me, said the note on the bottle.

"Please, do not be poison." Nami drank a little and grimaced at the taste. Abruptly, everything began shooting up, as if they were plants treated on steroid Miracle-Gro. What is wrong with this place?! she wondered, then realized something—it wasn't that everything had grown. It was she that had shrunk! Nami flailed as she drowned in the rags of her own dress. Great, now she was tiny and naked.

She rolled up one of her huge socks, wrapping it around herself. Nami was exposed, but it was better than nothing. Picking up the key, she ran to the door and opened it, the light on the other side blinding her for a moment. Nami had hoped for many things, but not that.

Exotic plants of all colors and sizes, animals and insects that certainly did not—could not—exist in her world. It was incredible, this world, beautiful, and strangely...familiar.

"Nami, you did it!" She jumped in surprise. It was Chopper and he seemed very happy to see her. Nami took a step back; at her diminished height, the reindeer seemed far less cuddly. "I was afraid you wouldn't get through."

"Where have you been?" She demanded, irritated. "Weren't you going to help me get here?"

"But I helped!" he protested, intimidated by the redhead. "Everyone who doesn't live here has to go through that room! Sorry, Nami." The girl calmed down; the reindeer hadn't meant her any harm.

"Okay, there's a lot going on, I'm tense." Chopper admitted. "Come on, I'll take you to Franklen."

"Franklen?"

"He is our sage, he will answer your questions."

Finally someone who can explain to me what's going on.

She let herself be led by Chopper.

...

If staying at a ball full of people who hated her was already uncomfortable, being surrounded by flowers and animals that never stopped staring at her was even worse. And that wasn't even saying anything about the huge cloud of smoke that surrounded the whole place.

"Chopper," Nami whispered in his ear. "Which one is Franklen?"

"In the cloud of smoke, smoking. We're waiting to dissipate, " Chopper whispered back reverently.

"Is he still smoking?"

"Yes, he never stops smoking," said the reindeer.

"So how the smoke will dissipate?" Chopper opened his mouth but could not answer.

"Hm. Good question."

Nami sighed in defeat.

"I can help." A huge plant with long leaves began to fan the smoke away, clearing everyone's vision. A huge blue tufted caterpillar came into sharp focus, puffing away indolently.

"Franklen!" They shouted in unison.

"Super!" The caterpillar shouted back. Everyone but Nami went crazy. He continued excitedly, "Where's Nami? Where's Nami?! I want to see our SUPER Nami!"

"Oh, great Franklen," cried Chopper. "Nami's right here. Be yourself!"

Nami got up so the caterpillar could see her. Franklen pulled her huge body close to her, although not really touching her. Nevertheless, he made her uncomfortable, but she stayed quiet.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Nami. Nami Kingsleigh. "

"I decide what name you have, you stupid girl." Franklen seemed annoyed by Nami's response. "Until I decide, you stay quiet."

Nami felt something within her snap. First, she goes through the trouble of getting through the hallway. Then she's gawked at like some animal in the zoo. Nami did not have the patience to deal with a third annoyance. She grabbed the caterpillar. "Listen to this and listen well," she growled quietly, her gaze chilling. "You tell me what I'm doing here or I'm leaving, because I will not be here listening to this sort of thing, do you understand me?" She released him and he pulled away from her quickly.

"T-Take her to the Hatter. If she's not related to him, I'm a mushroom." Franklen returned to the huge mushroom, shaking. "A-and I'm not scared of you!"

"Come on, Nami," the reindeer pulled at his arm. "I'll take you there."

"I'll go along," a small mouse with long muzzle spoke.

"Usopp." He and Chopper seemed to know each other. Nami found that rat a little strange, but said nothing.

"KNAVE!" shouted a new voice.

"Shit!" Someone else shouted, and Nami saw Chopper and Usopp go pale, and knew something was wrong. Without much delicacy, they both took the girl's arms and began to run frantically.

"Chopper, what is it?! Who are we running from?"

Chopper ignored her.

"Please, what's going on?"

They took her to a high wood, where a narrow trail was hidden and watched. Nami pulled a branch aside.

Enormous feet trampled flowers, the animals were captured and some even killed. It was a massacre.

"Nami, we have to go." Usopp pulled her by the arm. She let herself be guided, in shock from the violence she witnessed.

This was not part of her father's stories.

...

Chopper and Usopp were worried about Nami, she was quiet. They expected the Hatter to cheer her up, he was always the best at it.

They were following a dark road, when they heard footsteps behind them.

"Chopper," Usopp called softly "we better run."

"No need to be afraid of me, Usopp," a greenish smoke surrounded them, Usopp trembled with fear anyway, and ran close to Nami, using her as a shield. The smoke condensed into a nearby tree in the form of a scowling cat.

"Chess," Chopper sighed relieved. "It's good to see you."

"Where are you going?" Asked the cat.

"Taking Nami to the Hatter, she'll be safe with him."

Chess grinned too big for a cat."I'll go with you."

…

Nami was calm, needed to be, she was walking with three very strange creatures in the middle of the forest and one of them, the strange smiling cat, appeared and disappeared with alarming frequency, delaying the trip. She had to keep her eyes wide open.

She considered her predicament. Chopper said he was taking her to a Hatter, was that a code? How could a Hatter help her in this situation? And did not any human beings live here? And most importantly, who was that Knave? And why would he destroy the animals and plants?

OOO

Knave was annoyed, as he had never been before in his years of service. He was drinking in a bar when he had heard a very unpleasant rumor.

Tony Tony Chopper went to get Frau's daughter.

He had not heard Frau's name for years. At this point, it was even taboo. No one ever spoke the name of the old silver queen. It was with great satisfaction that he interviewed the dodo who shared the rumor. At first he refused to speak, but pliers and hot oil were enough to make that the bird open his beak and spill everything he knew. He gathered a troop and ran to Tony Tony Chopper's village, but he did not find the reindeer and none of the prisoners knew where he was.

"Soldiers, fetch the prisoners. We're going to the Red Fortress."

...

Knave knew it might just be a rumor, a lie told by a drunk, but his methods did not stir lies. He was sure of it. He walked through the great corridors of the fortress, the queen's office just ahead. He knocked on the door three times and a soft voice responded.

"My queen," he bowed.

"My beloved Knave," his queen's voice could cause the angels' song. "It's always a pleasure to see you."

Her queen wore a blood red gown, shoulders and neck exposed, revealing her soft, pristine white skin. Her long, straight black hair fell to her waist, and on her porcelain face was a soft, inviting smile. Perfect, unobtainable, and passionate.

"Queen Hancock," he stood at attention. "I bring you news. I did not want to worry you unnecessarily, but I must warn you" her smile diminished "I suspect that Frau's daughter is back in Wonderland."

Hancock got up from the table where she was, her face serious but still. She slipped up to him, graceful, deadly. "Why would you say that?" she asked softly. "Did you see her?"

"No, ma'am, but I have information that Tony Chopper was sent after her, "The queen turned away from the slightly irritated soldier. That was a bad sign. Chopper was a blue-nosed reindeer, the only animals in Wonderland that had the ability to cross dimensions as they pleased. But why now?

"Fifteen years had passed, it means the brat is eighteen now," murmured the brunette. "Knave, I want you to bring this reindeer to me, I want to know what he knows."

"And if I see the girl?"

"Kill her."

OOO

Nami was happy to see the sunlight again. She thought she would never leave that forest again with the trio of idiots. They were in a clearing full of dried plants and leaves, the background had a large, completely destroyed mill, and in the middle of all this was a huge tea table for about twenty people. Something in this place was familiar to her. It felt like she knew this place and felt sad. Why did she feel sad?

"Hatter!" Usopp shouted "We have a surprise for you!" Glancing at the huge chair at the end of the table, Nami saw someone sitting there, asleep. He wore a dark red blazer with details here and there, a large necktie full of polka dots, and on his head a hat with a color she couldn't explain. It did not seem very reliable. What animal would he be?

Chopper sat in one of the chairs near the hatter, shaking him to wake him. A low snoring was the only answer he got.

"Usopp, I need help here!"

The mouse stood on the table and shouted. "Hatter, wake up! We brought you a feast of meat just for—"

"MEAT! Where is it?! Where's the banquet?" The Hatter jumped on the table, searching, by all appearances awake.

He's an ordinary man, thought Nami.

"It's a joke, Hatter." Usopp was dying to laugh with his face. "There's a person wanting to see you." Usopp pointed to the end of the table.

His eyes locked on her and for a moment she felt completely exposed. He was in shock and stood like this for a few seconds until a huge smile appeared on his face and he came running toward her.

"Nami!" He shouted happily. She had seen people happy to see her as Chopper and Usopp, but this hatter seemed to really shine with happiness. "You're the same size I saw you last time, how cool!"

Nami was still Chopper's size, the size of a three-year-old child.

"N-No, I just drank a potion and I got small" she explained. He was making her feel so self-conscious.

"Oh I see, I'll give you another one to grow, come here." He took her by the hand and half awkwardly led her to the chair next to him.

He took some candy and fruit and placed it in front of her. Nami made no ceremony of it; she was really hungry.

The Hatter laughed. "The cool thing about being small is that every piece of meat gets giant and tastier."

"You didn't give her meat, Hatter," Chess said, materializing in one of the chairs.

"Oh it's true. Do you want meat, Nami? "

"No, thank you very much," she declined politely. "It's ... Usopp and Chopper said you could help me."

"Hmm, and you want help with what?"

"Well, actually I wanted to understand why I'm here. My dad told me stories, but I never thought I'd come here." The hatter looked at her curiously. "And—and everyone seems to know me—you do, too—but tell me, have we met before?"

They exchanged glances, worrying Nami; she saw each one throwing the responsibility to each other and at the end throw it to the Hatter.

"Hmm, what do you know of Wonderland to begin with?"

"Little things, I think," she began. "He always made this place look epic, actually. There were two queens, one white and one red. The red one decided she wanted to rule Wonderland by herself, but she was mean and selfish. The white queen was good, intelligent and cared for her subjects so they stayed on her side, but the red one was stronger. Then the two started a war."

She observed everyone in the table; they were not surprised so she concluded what she was talking about was true. "He also said that there was another queen who was never crowned, a powerful queen who sacrificed herself for her beloved." Nami smiled wistfully, it was her favorite story. "My father was a romantic."

"Is that all?" Usopp said. "I thought Arthur would tell you more about us."

"My dad? And why would he have that much to say, Usopp? "

"Because he was our king!" Replied Usopp angrily. Chess snorted and Luffy sighed.

"Luffy, is this true?!" Luffy bowed his head and did not answer. "What happened? How come my father is the king of Wonderland? Was he born here? "

"No, Nami," the boy said. "He was born in the world where you live today. He came here by accident. He fell into a reindeer's burrow and got here."

"Reindeer's burrow?"

"Holes made by reindeer," answered Chopper. "They are so deep that they connect dimensions."

"Usually only rabbits make burrows," she pointed out.

"What are rabbits?"

"Never mind."

"The important thing is that he fell here and was the coolest guy in the world," said the Hatter with a smile.

"The story he told you is a little wrong too, Nami," Usopp said. "Arthur fell here in Wonderland and made a big mess because we had never seen a human before."

"He went to the castle where he met the three princesses and fell in love with the eldest, Frau." Chopper found a cotton candy and ate it happily. "It was a beautiful ceremony. The silver princess turned into silver queen."

"Everyone loved the king and queen and after a few years they had a daughter," Hatter looked at her fondly. "You, Nami."

"What?" She asked, shocked. Nami got up from the chair, indignant. "You ... you're saying that my father...that my mother, that my mother is not the…" Nami fell to her knees. They lied to her. They all lied.

"Nami, are you okay?" The hatter asked, made to touch her, but Nami turned away.

"Of course I'm not okay," she answered bitterly, "how would you feel if you knew your father and mother lied to you all your life? That my mom" tears stuck in her throat "that Margaret, the woman who took care of me my whole life, that I love more than my life, that" the cry came all at once "we're not family..."

Hatter pulled his chair up from hers, Nami was about 36 inches now so it was a little difficult to get close. He held her arms carefully to hurt not her, giving her a handkerchief to wipe away the tears. She accepted and wiped her face, but she still felt very sad.

"Nami," he said. "Listen to me, Nami. Just because she did not give you birth doesn't mean that she is not your mother." She looked at him. "She raised you, fed you and loved you like a daughter. You two are a family, Nami. "

She stared at him for seconds that seemed like hours. He was right. Margaret never mistreated her, never made her feel lonely or unprotected; she could have ignored her, but no, she was the mother that Nami always respected and admired.

"Thank you, Hatter."

He laughed once more. "You can call me Luffy."

"Luffy." She liked the sound of that name on her lips. "Luffy?"

"What is it?

"What happened to Frau?"

Luffy's jaw hardened at the question. "The Red Queen loved your father too, and when he chose Frau instead, she went crazy. The Red Queen killed her parents and took control of everything. She made the Red Fortress her castle and attacked towns and cities." He gulped some tea. "Your parents and Princess White resisted, but Hancock was strong. She stole Frau's weapon and threatened to kill you and the whole kingdom if Arthur did not accept her as his queen. Frau did not want to see you die so she sent you and your father away, where the Red Queen could not reach you."

"And why she didn't go along?"

"Only beings from your world can live there, Nami." Chopper replied. "I can only get through because my ancestors were from there, but found a gate to this world and decided to stay."

"Frau died protecting you two, Nami," Luffy continued, "you have two incredible mothers."

"Yes," she smiled. "Yes, I do."

"Hatter, I have to go." Chopper commented from down the table "Are you taking her to White Queen?"

"Yes, I will, soon."

"I'll meet you there, Nami!" he said, and disappeared into the woods.

"White Queen? So my aunt is still alive?"

"Yes," Luffy grinned.

"Hatter!" Someone cried in the woods.

"Shit," Luffy mumbled, taking a potion from his pocket. "Drink this, Nami." Hesitantly, she put the bottle to her lips and drank, shrinking to the size of an orange. "Be quiet, okay?"

He placed her inside a clean pot and hid it in his lap under the tablecloth. Knave was a pain in the ass, but hopefully would not create any problems.

"Look who's here, the Lone Hatter." Knave was wearing black armor from head to toe, his cynical smile ever-present on his face.

"Want some tea, Knave?" Luffy asked innocently.

"Not today. I'm working," he said looking around "I'm looking for the reindeer Chopper. Do you know where he is?"

"No, why?"

"My queen wishes to see him, it seems that Chopper is suspected of treason." Luffy frowned.

"Betrayal? And what did he do?"

"What he wants to do, my dear Hatter," replied Knave, "is to bring little Nami back, if he hasn't already. Do you know anything, Hatter?"

"Why would I know?"

"Because," he whispered, leaning in close, "running into your arms is the first thing she would do." Luffy could feel his breath rank against his face. "I mean, think about it. You've been waiting day and night for her return, without ever leaving this place you promised to meet—"

"Shut up, Knave." He cut him off. "Neither one is here, so leave me alone."

"That's how you'll stay, Hatter," the soldier replied, standing back up. "Because when I find the princess, I'm going to take her head to Red. You won't see her again." Luffy stared at him with red-rimmed eyes but did not move. "Good day, Hatter."

He rode off.

Luffy gripped the teapot so hard it splintered, startling Nami.

"Luffy!" She called, scared. Realizing what he did, he opened the teapot and took out a super embarrassed Nami wrapped in a pile of cloth.

"Eh? What happened to your clothes, Nami?"

"I shrank and they did not, idiot."

"Oh sorry, I'll make another one for you." He took a few pieces of the huge cloth and a scissor.

"You know how to sew?"

"I'm not a hatter just in name, Nami," he smiled. It was a simple, beautiful dress, all blue, the exact size of it, when he finished.

"Thank you." She slipped into the pile of clothes and dressed herself. "It's perfect, Luffy!"

"Shishishi, you're welcome." Luffy took Nami's hand and put her on his hat. "I'll take you to the white queen."

"In the hat? Can not I walk in my normal size? "

"This way is much more fun!" Nami sighed, knowing at that moment she would not be back to her normal size any time soon.

Luffy went down a path full of dry trees, melancholic and handsome at the same time.

"Luffy?"

"Hm?"

"Tell me about my parents?" Luffy considered the request.

"What you want to know?"

"What were they like?"

"Hmm, they were cool I guess. I was very small when I met them," he said thoughtfully.

"I barely talked to them, you wanted to play with me all the time, and you would not let me do anything." Nami leaned on the edge of the top hat to stare at the hatter who looked at her amused.

"Did you play with me when I was little?"

"Yes, every day."

"Now I know why I feel so comfortable with you."

He laughed, and stopped abruptly. Something was wrong. He looked to the side. Someone was following them.

Knave.

"What is it, Luffy?" He took his hat and set it on the ground.

"Promise me you'll be quiet here, Nami; you can not say a word. No matter what happens. Do you understand?" Luffy whispered urgently.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, she nodded. Luffy hid his hat well between the leaves, but Nami could still see everything that happened.

Luffy went to the middle of the road. The sound of footsteps was clear now; he should have known that Knave would keep an eye on him. Well, at least he'd leave Chopper alone.

Five cards surrounded him plus the Knave, who seemed very pleased with himself behind the helmet that covered half of his face.

"You've always been a lousy liar, Luffy."

"Don't call me that," snapped the hatter.

"Why not? Were we not we friends when children?" The soldier spoke mockingly. "Or have you not forgiven me yet? "

"You were there with the red queen that night, and you did nothing," he whispered miserably.

"I would have not changed anything." The Knave motioned for the guards who had surrounded the hatter.

Nami, who watched the whole scene, was afraid for Luffy and waited for the worst when he saw the five spears surrounding him. She was about to shout his name when she saw Luffy jump and deflect all spears at the same time. In the air he struck a powerful punch at one of the guards who fell to the ground, the helmet completely destroyed.

Luffy came down and barely had time to deflect when the second came toward him with a sword; he took the weapon from the soldier's hand and hit him with a hard, heavy knee. Terrified, the remaining three cards ran at him at the same time. Luffy jumped up and, using the middle's head as support, kicked the two of them and gave a strong kick in the back of the third, defeating them.

"Amazing," whispered Nami, impressed. Luffy did not use weapons or armor, but his speed and agility. He fought gracefully, but did not kill his enemies.

"I should not expect less from you, Hatter," said the Knave, "what am I going to say to my queen now?" Luffy did not respond. "Give me the Princess, Luffy. I know you have her. "

"Never."

He sighed.

"You disappoint me." Knave took off his helmet.

"No!" The word left her mouth before she could do anything. It wasn't possible—not him, not here!

Sanji.

Sanji was the Queen's Knave.

Oh Sanji, you mean hehehe.

Please send me some reviews!

Until next :D
