Ok, so first, I'd like to clear some things up with my reviews.

I'd like to say, right off the bat, thank you for reviewing. Now…

RebelWriter- Yeah, well… we've already had this discussion xD

pIeRr'S gIrL- There is no Chopper or Robin in the story because I haven't seen enough One Piece episodes to portray them correctly. And could you bring me some pancakes while you're at it? I'm pretty darn hungry…

They.Call.Me.Smith- Poor Larissa's review got cut off. But, I forgive you for not reviewing each chapter. xD

sanji pocky- I don't even see the point in thanking you anymore, Sar-hah xD

"CapT.BlacK"- Hi Kyle.

Oh, and hi, other Kyle. xD

Anna- Thanks for the suggestion xDD And thanks for the review!

And here's what I've really been wanting to get to. Kgmck-117. Alright, I believe most of your corrections were explained by the very gracious anonymous reader, but I'll clear some things up, too. Sarah and I are very certain that Sanji actually smokes. But, 4Kids edited it down to a lollipop. However, as Sarah said, we're mainly going by manga with a mix of the anime. Also, I called them the Going Merry Crew mainly because of their ship, like the Crow 2 Yo Crew. But, however, I admit, Zolo's bandana is dark green, not black. Anyway, thank you for the review!


In honor of Emily-ly's birthday, which was Oct 19th, but was just recently celebrated via a party, this is a special chapter of "Sanji's Cupcakes". A filler episode, so to speak.

Oh, and Zoro's birthday was November 11th… Squee.

This really doesn't have anything to do with the current story line, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to!

This special filler #1 is about Emily-ly, her past, and how she was afflicted with her Devil fruit powers. Oh, and her recruitment to the Crow 2 Yo. Juuuust a little background information.


Sanji's Cupcakes

Filler Episode #1 - "Let's See How Many Times We Can Mention Frogs"


Queen Emily-ly of Brown-Noo-Noo Island. The name itself made you scream with horror. Or whine in fear. Or whimper in terror. Or perhaps even a chilling silence would be your reply. In come cases, a nervous laugh and a shrug was the reaction.

Not that I would know, I've never been there.

Brown-Noo-Noo Island was formed in the shape of a frog. No one knows why. No one recalls how, either. It just is.

On the very top of the frog's head, so to speak, was a large clump of oddly colored, red and white trees. It appeared that a spotted mushroom was growing from the top of the amphibian's head.

On the rest mushroom trees, as they were called, grew incense. Different ages of the trees determined the type of incense. And, to say the least, that's pretty spiffy. The white trees, however, sprouted multiple flavors of pocky, regardless to age or season.

The island's green, froggy color was provided by a thick forest which coated the entire frog. These regular trees were laden with multiple types of poisonous frogs. Growing. From the tree. Really.

It helped that most of Brown-Noo-Noo's weather, all year round, consisted of warm, pleasant days, sometimes with occasional rain.

Out of the many small villages, there was a main city centered between the two front legs of the frog island. It was called Imafrog, and it was here that Queen Emily-ly resided. The houses were shroom shaped, colored tye-dye rainbow, and the main foods were rice krispies, water, and cookies. The local library had only 5 series of books. Deathnote, Hellsing, Demon Ororon, Juvenile Orion, and A Radical Liberal's Guide to Life and Butter. But the citizens didn't complain. Not like they could…. considering their Queen…

As aforementioned, every time Queen Emily-ly was brought up somehow in a conversation, someone would pass out, have a seizure, or simply fall over and die.

Take, say, Bob and Roger.

Bob: Why, hello Roger.

Roger: Hello, Bob.

Bob: Have you seen Queen Emily-ly today?

Roger: -gurgles, foams at mouth, falls over, dies-

Bob: o.o;; Oh snap. –twitches and passes out-

Poor Roger and Bob. Anyway… back to Brown-Noo-Noo Island….

In Imafrog, there was one main building. The biggest of them all, in fact. The Queen's castle. Naturally, in the shape of a frog. The architect liked themes, you see.

At the moment, Emily-ly, the future first mate of The Crow 2 Yo, was training. The castle had a special target practice room and the Queen was busy flinging sharpened sporks into paper targets. Beside her was Opium, her loyal koama. It was holding a basket filled with the eating utensil turned weapon.

With every five sporks, another target was hopelessly decimated and immediately replaced with the next one. Emily-ly stayed silent, concentrating on her task.

"Your Highness!" A young man ran in, panting softly.

The young queen turned around, her nearly black colored eyes glaring at him. "What?"

With a black shirt, bracelets up to her elbows, and a rainbow tye-dye skirt over her jeans, she looked rather intimidating. She twirled a spork between her fingers as she frowned at the messenger. Who happened to be named Tim.

Tim took a few deep breaths. It was obvious he had sprinted. After he had recovered, he straightened and cleared his throat. "The kitchen sent me here for you to decide whether you want blue or teal butter with your rice krispies tonight for dinner…."

There was deathly silence before, finally, Emily-ly spoke in a soft voice. "You dare… to ask me…. Whether I want butter? I DON'T BELIEVE IN BUTTER!"

Tim trembled. "I… I'm sorry…"

It was obvious that Tim was new. Because on Brown-Noo-Noo island, there are rules.

Rule One: No butter

"And, even further, you go and ask me whether or not I want it to be teal or blue! TEAL! HOW DARE YOU!"

Rule Two and Three: There will be no teal or blue used at any time on the island.

Whimpering, Tim cringed and began to back away. "I'm sorry, My Queen…. It's just that Joelle, the cook… she…"

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'M QUEEN EMILY-LY!" Her eyes blazed as she continued to yell at him.

In response, Tim gasped, clutching at his throat. Within seconds, he was twitching violently on the ground, foaming at the mouth. In a few more seconds, he was dead.

"Hmm…" Emily-ly looked down at his body, poked it once with her foot, then shrugged. "Whatever."

"You really should watch when you mention your name around the groundlings, Emily-ly…" Kyle, Emily's bodyguard, stepped out of the shadows and blinked down at the dead body. He was famed to be the only one on the island who could speak Emily-ly's name and not collapse.

"Sucks for him." Emily-ly answered simply, petting Opium absently as she heard approaching footsteps. The koama moogrunted softly in pleasure as yet another messenger dashed into the large training room.

This time, it was Sung, Imafrog's adviser. He wasn't a very good one. He blinked his nearly closed eye at Emily-ly. "My Queen, we're being attacked."

"Huh? By who?" The Queen of Brown-Noo-Noo Island blinked, tossing her spork back into Opium's basket.

"Eh… je ne sais pas, madam…" He blinked, laughing nervously.

"No French, Sung, what have I told you?"

"Eh… nani?"

"None of that either. Answer the stupid question."

"Oh, right. By the Gangster Crew." Sung smiled slightly, nodding.

The Gangster Crew. There had already been a rumor going around that they had been heading towards Brown-Noo-Noo. Guess the rumors were true.

"Oh… crap." Emily-ly dashed out of the room immediately, followed closely by Opium and Kyle, leaving Sung to blink after them. "Nani?"


Meanwhile, on the shores of Brown-Noo-Noo Island….

"GET ME MY ICKY STICK, DAMNIT!" The infamous Captain Joshu Wa Gorgy was storming around the freshly painted Crow 2 Yo, barking out pissed off orders. Marshmallow Kyle wobbled past him, carrying a case of Irish Punk cd's, while Larissa sat drooling over a picture of Kasey Kahne in the corner, not paying any attention to what Joshu was saying.

On the other side of the ship, Mike was searching for the aforementioned Icky Stick. Nearby, Nate, wearing his "I Heart Yaoi and Hentai" shirt, was steering the ship. Despite the fact that the ship was already at a complete stopped and the anchor was down. But, we'll let him enjoy the false hope that he was actually doing something to help.

Flicking his rainbow tipped, glamorous hair back girlishly, Joshu scanned the island's coast with his razma-tazma-genta eyes and growled, snatching the Icky Stick from Mike while Marshmallow Kyle did a jig behind him.

"Yo…. Yoyo.. I'm.. I'm a gangster. Where my dogs at? Bark with me if you're my dog. Yo yo yo. I'm gonna give a shout-out to all the player haters…"

Larissa came up behind them, now clutching a Dan Radcliffe picture to herself. "Where are we?"

"I'm a gangster… I'm a straight up G. The gangster life… is the life for me."

Mike happily joined Marshmallow Kyle in dancing and singing. The current first mate, Eric, jumped down from the Crow's Nest to blink around at them all. "Joshu, it seems that no one's attacking us yet."

"Shooting people by day, selling drugs by night. Being a gangster is hella tight."

Joshu growled, rolling his eyes at Larissa. "For your information, we're at Brown-Noo-Noo Island. I already told you that. And Eric…" He turned to his first mate. "No shit, Sherlock. We're waiting for the Queen to come out so we can kill her."

Eric was quick to join Marshmallow Kyle and Mike in singing. After a bit of confusion, they picked up the song a few lines from where they had left off.

"I'm a gangster, and iced out like a freezer.

"I'm a gangster. I don't listen to Weezer!"

"I dropped out of school at the age of 3."

"Why?"

"Cause all the teachers tried to player-hate on me."

"Oh."

"Ah, fuck it. Let's go." Captain Gorgy turned in a flurry of trench coat and rainbow tipped hair, leading the way off the ship. Larissa waved. "I'll just… stay here…." And went back to worshipping Harry Potter, while Mike, Eric, and Marshmallow Kyle followed after Gorgy, still singing.

"Sisqo is my homie, he's a gangster, too. Me and Sisqo are the leaders of the Gangster Crew!"

-Note, there is no Sisqo on THIS Gangster Crew, yo-

"I like to be in jail, and he likes to sing and dance."

"Some say we're the perfect match…"

Nate came last, looking confused.

"Step off… step back…"

"WOULD YOU THREE SHUT THE FUCK UP?" Captain Joshu exploded at them, looking pissed off as he led the way up the beach into the lush green forest. He completely ignored the bright, different colored frogs that seemed to be growing from the branches as he turned to glare at the three crew members behind him.

Mike, Marshmallow Kyle, and First Mate Eric fell silent while Nate pointed and laughed at them.

After ten minutes of walking, the trees opened up to reveal Imafrog city. The citizens froze at the terrifying sight of Joshu, a guy in a marshmallow suit, another in a Miroku outfit, Eric in his horrifically normal clothes, and Nate in his sweater. 'Cause sweaters are scary. With frantic screams, the entire population of Imafrog ran off to hide.

Walking right down the main road, heading towards the Gangster Crew, was Emily-ly, flanked by her koama and Kyle.

Joshu smirked. "Heh… that was easier than I thought…"

Mike blinked. "Eh… why are we killing her, again?"

Joshu stared off into space for a moment, thinking, then cleared his throat. "For this sake of…. Irish Punk."

"Eh... but really, why are we killing her?"

"Cause that's what pirates do."

Eric and Mike nodded. "Oh, ok."

Nate and Marshmallow Nate shrugged, rather confused.

With a snarl, Gorgy set forward. "Weapons, out!"

Mike grinned, stumbling forward as he pulled out an AK-47 out of nowhere. Eric was suddenly equipped with a rocket launcher, while Marshmallow Kyle drew two water bottles. Nate happily walked along, above weapons.

The two groups met in the cit square, frowning at each other. "Captain Joshu Wa Gorgy…" Queen Emily-ly nodded, looking irritated as Opium grunted darkly and Kyle glowered at Joshu.

"Queen Emily-ly." Gorgy replied, nodding and smirking darkly.

A gasp went up with the hidden citizens who had heard his words and bodied fell out of their hiding places, twitching or deadly still.

"So what the crap do you want?"

Joshu stared at her, surprised by her bluntness, then cleared his throat and went back to his fierce smirking. "I'm here to end your life."

Kyle's eyes widened slightly as he took a step forward. "I'll take care of…" He stopped as soon as he saw Emily-ly's extended arm blocking him. "Hold on, Kyle."

"Wah… grr…" With a sigh, he took a step back, giving Joshu a death glare.

Slowly, the Queen reached into the basket her koama was still holding and drew a spork. Waving it carefully at the pirate captain before her, she suddenly smirked and flung the fighting utensil.

At first, no one knew what happened, but then First Mate Eric suddenly gasped and fell over sideways, a spork sticking uncomfortably out of his throat.

Oh noes, he be ded.

Joshu Wa Gorgy's eyes widened for a moment before he took a step forward, brandishing his Icky Stick in a threatening matter. "HOW DARE YOU?"

"Oh, what now?" Emily-ly grinned in a mocking way, taking another spork.

They stared at each other for a long, long moment, when Nate and Marshmallow Kyle abruptly screamed and began running away. While no one had been looking, the two of them had been making faces at Opium and Marshmallow Kyle had shot a water bottle cap at the koama, who finally lost it. With a loud moogrunt, he jumped forward, galloping after the two miscreants, who in turned yelled and turned and ran away.

Captain Gorgy and Emily-ly were both staring after the three with blank expressions. You couldn't really tell with Mike, since he always had a blank expression on his face.

Finally…

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TWO GOING?"

"OPIUM, COME BACK!"

The two leaders ran after the retreating group, followed closely by Mike and Kyle. Poor Eric. He be ded.

After a long sprint back through the forest, Opium followed Marshmallow Kyle and Nate up onto the Crow 2 Yo, startling Larissa. "Holy shit, what the heck is that?"

The two guys, who were hiding behind her, only shook their heads and tried to regain their breath. Soon enough, the rest of the group jogged up onto the ship deck. Emily-ly was furious. "OPIUM!"

"YOU DUMB ASSES!" Joshu was even more pissed off, stabbing his Icky Stick so violently into the ship deck that it pierced the wood and stuck there.

With a whimper, the koama returned back to its master and Captain Gorgy, realizing he had the advantage, hurriedly shoved Kyle off of the ship and ordered that the anchor be lifted. Used to quick retreats, the crew quickly set the ship to sailing away from Brown-Noo-Noo island.

Kyle, back on shore, sat gloomily in the sand, watching the black ship with chains sailing away with his queen. "Oh, crap."

Emily-ly was having the same thoughts as she saw her island steadily grow smaller and smaller, then she finally turned to see Joshu smirking at her.

"What're you grinning at?" Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Oh, nothing…" He shrugged offhandedly. "Just that now… I can peacefully kill you."

With a swift twirl of his Icky Stick, Captain Gorgy took a step forward, making a sweeping motion with the weapon, fully intending to cut Emily-ly's jugular vein. But the Queen of Brown-Noo-Noo island was quickly than that. With a panicked yelp, she stumbled back and, quite by accident, fell right over the ship railing, plunging into the ocean.

Joshu peered into the dark waters. "Oh… shit." Behind him, Opium was moogrunting loudly in distress as Marshmallow Kyle and Nate struggled to tie it up.

Swiftly was Emily-ly sinking, and her breath wasn't unlimited. Already, her lungs were aching for air. Letting out a few bubbles from her mouth, the girl struggled to swim back up, but she continued to sink. In seconds, she had already reached the sea floor. There, a giant frog sat, staring at her. Emily-ly stared back and the frog slowly extended a webbed hand. In the palm sat a bright yellow fruit, resembling something between a pineapple and an odd berry.

With a strange look at the amphibian, Emily-ly took the fruit and ate it despite the fact that she barely had any breath left in her lungs. A tingling feeling spread over her as soon as she had swallowed. With a bright smile, the frog bounded forward and fell apart into hundreds of smaller frogs. The mass of them wrapped around the queen. The moment she was secure, the frogs, in one synchronized motion, began swimming up towards the surface. With every kick, their speed increased until the green group was nothing but a blur in the water.

It didn't take long to break the surface and in an instant, the frogs created a squishy surface to hold up Emily-ly, who was coughing and taking deep frantic breaths. As soon as she was content with the whole being able to breathe thing. Brushing her dark hair out of her face, she sat up and blinked. "What the crap?"

She thought back to the fruit and gasped sharply. "A devil fruit! Woah…." She pointed at a single frog at the edge of her living platform, willing it to jump up and dance. Obligingly, the amphibian bounded up onto the back of another one of its fellows and slowly but surely began tap-dancing.

Emily-ly stared at her hand. "Woah… I can control frogs…"

She was jolted out of her discovery as the Crow 2 Yo sailed up behind her. Joshu leaned over the railing. "Oy! You!"

With a soft growl, Emily-ly swiftly commanded her froggy pals to create a set of stairs leading up to the deck of the vessel. Stepping carefully, the girl at last stepped back onto the deck of the ship to have the whole crew stare at her.

Larissa blinked. "You have Devil Fruit powers?"

"Er… yeah, I guess so…" She checked her wrists to make sure all her bracelets were in place.

Joshu wasn't slow. At least, that's what he thought. A plan formed in his mind. Having a crew member with powers… certainly would be useful. And Emily-ly had already proved that she could take care of herself. He grinned, stepping forward. "Tell you what…."

Queen Emily-ly drew herself as best she could, considering her wet and dripping clothes. "What?"

"How about you like to be my first mate? Seeing as you killed my other one…"

The proposal shocked the girl, but she wasn't too slow either. Besides, she was bored now. Who knows? Could befun."Yeah, ok, sure."

The former Queen Emily-ly's rapid reply surprised Captain Gorgy, but he grinned. "Alright. Welcome to the Crow 2 Yo, Emily-ly."

And they sailed off into the sunset to live happily ever after.

Until, 15 minutes later, Joshu and Emily-ly got into a fight over whether Opium could stay on the ship.

But we don't really care about that.


So there ya go. Happy Birthday, Emily-ly.

The regular story line will return shortly, not to fear!
