Note: I'm sure we can all agree that I should do Vivi's birthday, as an honorary Straw Hat. Robin's will be coming soon!

One Piece: Happy Birthday Special

Happy Birthday!

Vivi

In the Grand Line there is a summer-type island that is mostly a vast desert with a rich culture and history known as Sandy Island. Here lies the kingdom of Alabasta which has held for generations by its people and its royal family. It was nighttime for the kingdom, but the whole island was alive with energy. The capital city of Alubarna was filled with the most energy of any city. And within the center of this city, the palace was a roar of celebration. For you see, they were all celebrating an important day. "Happy Birthday, Queen Vivi!"

In the huge feast room, many of the palace staff as well as family and important guest shouted loudly and cheerfully to the birthday girl at the end of the table; Queen Vivi. Next to her was her husband, Kohza. On the other side of her were her father Cobra and Igaram and his wife. And then there were the important guests. "Happy Birthday, Vivi/-Sis/-chwan~!" Sitting around the table, the Straw Hat pirates cheered for their friend and honorary Straw Hat pirate. Vivi smiled seeing her good friends and even new friends celebrating her birthday.

And it was even more special as she also had her daughter celebrating with her. Walking up next to her, Nami and Robin both were carrying one-year old babies, Nami carrying two and Robin one. The two Nami were carrying were her own, Ace and Sabo, both twins. The baby Robin was holding was her own; Titi, named after her grandmother. Both women smiled while the babies cooed with all the excitement going on. Vivi softly laughed seeing her and Nami's babies so excited. She held her arms out as she then spoke to Robin. "I can take her, Robin. I think she would like a front row seat to all this excitement."

"Of course, Vivi." Robin graciously handed the little baby to her mother. It had taken some time, but Vivi, as well as Cobra and Igaram, had gotten use to the presence of the former second-in-command for Baroque Works. The two Straw Hat women then went to their seats as the food was served.

As everyone ate and made merry, a royal guard came walking in hurriedly. While most partied without noticing, the Straw Hat crew and the royal family took notice of him. The young soldier approached the queen and held out a letter. "Excuse me, your majesty, but a letter has come for you."

"Really? Who is it from?"

"I'm not really sure? It's addressed to you as Princess 'Auntie' Vivi?" The queen was surprised by how the letter was addressed as only one person had ever called her that. She took the letter from the guard and opened it carefully. Inside was the actually letter as well as some pictures. Her husband seemed interested.

"What is it, Vivi?" Vivi didn't answer her husband. With a quick skim over the letter, Vivi was smiling happily. She then looked to where the Straw Hats sat and shouted.

"Luffy! Nami! Everyone, Mika sent me a letter." Instantly, all the Straw Hats looked over to the queen shocked and surprised. However it was soon replaced with joy as they all stood up.

"Mika sends you letters? When did this happen?" said Usopp as he and the rest began to move towards Vivi. The young queen chuckled.

"She hasn't sent me a letter, this is the first time I've received one from her."

"Ooh! What's it say?!" Luffy shouted as he hurriedly rushed over to see the letter. He was soon joined by Usopp, Chopper, and Brook as they were just as excited. The others soon joined them as well just as interested. Nami, on the other hand, seemed a little worried.

"Is she doing okay? Does it say so in her letter?"

"Hold on, let me read it out loud." All the pirates listened in close as they all wanted to hear. The others near the queen were also listening in as they were curious as to what the little girl had to say. Vivi soon began reading the letter. "'Dear Auntie Vivi; Hi, It's me, Mika! But I'm sure you already know that! I know I haven't sent you a letter before, but I remembered that your birthday was soon! So from me and Akio we say, Happy Birthday!' Aw~, isn't that sweet of them."

"I'm surprised she knew that your birthday was approaching?" asked Chopper.

"I did tell her, though receiving a letter after four years of none is surprising."

"Read more!" Luffy ordered as he pointed to the letter. Vivi nodded and she did as told.

"'Actually, I kinda forgot, but Akio remembered! Then Makino, she's this nice lady that knows daddy, told me that I should say 'Happy Birthday' to you since it's been so long. So I wrote this letter!'"

"Shishishi. That makes since. Makino was always good with manners."

"Well, at least someone is teaching her manners." Nami said as she playfully teased her husband. Luffy, along some of the crew, laughed and blushed a bit embarrassed. Vivi laughed along with them and then continued the letter.

"'Anyway, me and Akio have been really busy! We both travel to two different islands, Aunt Nojiko's home and daddy's home, with the help of Drake, our new friend who is really good at navigating.' Is that the boy you were talking about, Nami?"

Nami nodded. "Yeah, he was a bit distant when we met him, but he warmed up to us. And I was the one that taught him some navigational skills."

"At least he's doing his job. He wasn't exactly thrilled playing babysitter." Zoro commented.

Sanji spoke not looking very pleased. "He better be protecting, Mika-chwan. Or else I'm going to-"

"Enough, I'm sure Drake wouldn't just abandon Mika and Akio like that." Nami cut off Sanji as she defended the person named Drake. Sanji immediately cooled his angry. The navigator than turned back to Vivi. "Could you continue, Vivi?"

"Sure." Vivi smiled as she looked back at the letter. "'I hope everything is okay at your home! I don't really know what is happening, but I'm sure you can handle it! You're part of mom and dad's crew too!'"

"She's got that right!" Usopp interrupted as he lifted his mug in a cheering fashion. He was joined by Franky, Brook, and Chopper doing the same. The rest laughed with them as did Vivi until she continued reading the letter. However, her expression turned a little worried.

"'And if it's not too much trouble, could you find mommy and daddy and everyone?'" The Straw Hats soon stopped cheering as they turned back to Vivi in surprise. Vivi only looked back at them. They all remained silent, a bit of guilt washing over them, until Vivi continued on to read. "'I haven't seen them in the newspaper since forever, I'm kinda worried.' Oh dear."

"She's…worried for us?" Luffy said confused.

"We have been inactive for some time now, captain." said Robin.

Brook nodded. "Indeed, but it was all for little Ace and Sabo."

"I'm sure she would understand if we told her." Franky piped up gesturing to the two babies in Nami's arms. Both boys seem to off somewhere unable to understand the situation the same with Titi. Nami began feeling guilty as she looked down on her two boys, not out of regret, but because when she had found out she was pregnant again they were already in the Grand Line. Though she wanted to turn back with the marines on their tail, they had to disappear fast and Alabasta was nearby.

Vivi could feel her friend's feelings and wanted to cheer her up. Reading the letter a bit, she soon found her way. "There's still more." The Straw Hats looked back at Vivi wondering what she had more to read off. Not wanting to hold off, Vivi began to read more of Mika's letter. "'But when you do see them, could you give them the picture! It's really funny!'"

"Ha! She doesn't sound too worried." Zoro gave out a light chuckle along with a smirk like he had known it all along. After giving Sabo (or maybe Ace) to Luffy, Nami gave the man slap to the back of his head not very amused with the man's comment. "Ow! What was that for, Nami?!"

"You know very well, idiot."

"What picture is Mika talking about?" Chopper soon spoke up wondering about the picture mentioned in her letter. Vivi soon recalled a picture with the letter and gave it a look. What she saw was very confusing.

"Um, Luffy, who is in this picture with Mika and Akio?"

"Huh?" Luffy walked behind Vivi wanting to see the picture. Vivi showed Luffy the picture and the pirate captain took a few seconds to look over it. Then instantly he was laughing hard. The entire crew was confused.

"What is it, Luffy? What was on the picture?" Hearing Usopp's question, Luffy took the picture and showed it to the whole crew and then some. The picture showed Mika and Akio, both making funny faces, while in the back was a sleeping Garp with marker all over his face in various designs.

The whole room then erupted into laughter as all the Straw Hats laughed at the picture. All the guards and royal family watched on as they had never seen the crew, rambunctious as they were, laugh so hard. The babies were just as confused though they also didn't understand what was going on. While she was laughing, Nami soon got an idea. "Luffy, bring Mika's picture over here." Luffy nodded and walked over to Nami with baby and picture in tow. Nami then took Ace (or Sabo) out of Luffy's hand and sitting him next to his twin. She then brought the picture in front of them. "Ace, Sabo, this is your big sister."

The babies cooed as they looked at the picture. Of course, Nami didn't expect much from them, but she nevertheless pointed out the little girl stretching her cheeks and sticking her tongue out. Despite this, the two boys were quite interests in the picture as they tried to reach out for the picture. Luffy then came up behind Nami, grabbing her shoulders, as he gave a smile and snicker. He then pointed to the old man. "And that old man with markings is your great-grandfather, though he'll never know it. Shishishi."

Soon the whole Straw Hat group began circling the family as they took turns looking at the picture. On the other hand, Vivi just sat in her spot softly chuckling. She now understood the picture a bit, though she was amused how one picture could wrap them up so closely. Her own baby began to squirm as she seem to want to join the excitement. She kept a firm hold, and then looked at the letter as there was a little left to it. She read the rest silently.

I hope you can find them, especially since the marine guys can't. I wish I could go visit you, but Drake tells me Alabasta is too far for a small boat filled with two kids and a teenager to make it. But when I'm old enough, and have an awesome pirate crew, I'll definitely come visit! And then I'll tell you about all my adventures! See you soon, Mika. The first and next Queen of the Pirates!

Vivi then set the letter down wearing a cheerful smile. She then sat up, carrying her child, and walked over to the Straw Hat group. "Excuse me, but mind if I and Titi could see that picture again." Brook, Franky, and Sanji turned as they heard Vivi speak to them. They gladly moved out of the way revealing Nami and her twin babies. Nami quickly noticed and looked over to Vivi wondering what she wanted.

"What is it, Vivi?"

Vivi smiled. "I want to show Titi the picture."

"Okay." Nami handed the picture Vivi. The sky blue haired took the picture and brought over for her daughter to see it clearly. The baby's little eyes peered at the picture with interest and confusion. Vivi still just smiled.

"See her, my precious little princess, that's your cousin, Mika; a pirate princess. I hope you'll get to meet her soon."

"Cousin?" asked Nami. Vivi looked over to Nami and nodded.

"Well, of course. If I'm her aunt then Titi will be her cousin, right?"

"Yeah! That makes sense to me! I bet they'll have all kinds of fun adventures!" Luffy easily and cheerfully agreed with the young queen. The rest of the crew agreed along with Luffy especially Nami as she looked down at her own two boys.

"I guess that goes double two pirate princes as well."

"Yeah!" Vivi laughed as the whole crew cheered the same answer. She definitely hoped Mika would come by soon, she would definitely be surprised to not only find a cousin, but two new brothers.

"I have a cousin?! And two brothers?!" Some years later Vivi got her wish. While not on her birthday, Mika and her crew had arrived at Alabasta. They were certainly unique, much like another crew she knew, and Mika had grown up. Now, she was gawking over the now older Titi, Ace, and Sabo as they too were just as shocked.

"We have an older sister?!"

"I have a cousin?!"

Vivi just gave a nervous smile. 'Not the first meeting I was hoping for, but at least now they know…'

Happy Birthday, Vivi!
