Luka pushed the bush out of the way. She loved adventures but she had a nagging voice in the back of her head. The voice was from earlier, a old man's voice. His words were being repeated in the back of her head, but she didn't know the meaning of the words. No matter how hard she tried, the words made no sense to her. She just felt that those words would be important later on, that she needed to remember these words or else. Why were these words important?

She shook her head, it was fuming from the amount of thinking she's been doing. She needed to focus on her mission, to find the Viven, the wondering boy by the well, and also the missing Prince who's related to the King. King Cobra, he was getting too old and sick for his position, but Luka felt he needed to see his son one last time. It was for closure, for the King and the servants of the castle who blamed themselves for the missing Prince. For the people outside of the castle, they felt hopeless with the King dying and they couldn't do nothing about it. And to find the Prince because he still owes Luka a duck.

The Prince, he was needed in the Kingdom. So many things were happening and the people needed to put their hopes on someone to rule. Crocodile, Luka grunted, was someone she didn't like. Every time he was around, it was as if he was wishing time would go faster. He would click his fingers on his cane, on Cobra's bed, or somewhere else. Each time his finger touch the surface, Luka directed her attention to him. She just didn't like him from the first time they met, he was worst than her grandfather, and it frighten her.

Her skirt ripped from the pieces of wood, she didn't mind; heck, she was about to tear her skirt since it annoys her to death. She never liked a dress, her Grandfather forces her into them, and so does Hancock.

Soon Luka came upon a clearing, which was weird. The surrounding looked normal but she heard noises. They were sounds of crying, of mourning, and it smelled of death. Luka followed the noises, which she came to a smaller clearing with seven short people, she believe these were called Dwarfs. They were circled around a golden coffin, and inside the coffin was a blue-haired boy. His mouth was closed, as of his eyes. He looked like he was sleeping in the glassed coffin, but the noises say otherwise.

Crocodile started coughing, every cough burned his throat. As the final cough finished, he closed his hand. It felt wet. He looked in his hand and it was covered in red, in his blood. He looked at his blood, then a other fit of coughs happened. Each time he coughed, his throat became more and more ratted. He kept coughing till he was throwing up blood. It streamed from his mouth, running a fine line of red at the corners of his mouth.

His eyes narrowed and he knew the caused of this. "DAMN YOU WENCH!" he yelled as his body fell to the ground. His body stayed there, in the same position as his blood made a puddle around his head.

The mirror inside of his pocket glowed and the magical being inside laughed.

Sanji looked from his cigarette onto the lady who entered the clearing. His breath caught in his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything. He wasn't in the mood of asking a lady to be his, no, he was mourning a boy who he help raised. He just watched her walk to the coffin. For some reason this lady seemed a bit familar, he just couldn't place it. It was like the name was on the tip of his tongue.

Zoro grunted and looked at the black-haired woman. He knew exactly who she was, she was the same person Viven met. "Lady Luka.." he grunted the name out of his mouth, Sanji looked at him with fiery in his eyes for knowing the name of the sweet lady before him.

Robin stepped up from his position behind the others. He step next to Luka's side as she observed Viven's body, her mouth moved. Robin placed his hand on top of Luka's. "My Lady, he's dead..."

Luka was paying attention to the others. Her mouth was narrowing and opening, she was mumbling words that couldn't be heard. Robin leaned in closer so he could hear her words. She was mumbling, "One bite, one dreadful sleep. No cure, just an average kiss. One place, that will soon be mine."

"What does that mean?" asked Chopper who stepped forward. He had excellent hearing so he heard Luka's words.

Luka looked at the brown dwarf. "I heard it within the forest. It didn't make any sense, but now it does."

"How so?" asked Brook.

"How did he died?" Luka answered the question with another question.

Sanji took his turn to step forward. His smoke within his hand. "We left him in the house, when we came back he was laying on the floor."

"He had a apple in his hand!" added Usopp.

Luka repeated the first phase. "One bite, one dreadful sleep."

"No cure, just an average kiss," added Robin who looked at Luka.

Luka smiled and nodded her head. She looked at each dwarf, none of them wanting to take the job of kissing Viven.

"So you just have to kiss him?" asked Zoro, he wasn't believing this.

"Yes, at least, that's what I think."

Robin had to turn her head, he just remembered something from a previous talk. He was right in saying that Lady Luka was a dimwit.

Franky came forward and opened the glass lid, allowing Luka to kiss the boy.

Brook laughed his usual laugh. "This is so like the Princess and the Frog."

Luka also joined in the laughter till it died down. Each Dwarf was waiting for her, waiting for their Viven to be awaken. So she had no choice but to leaned down into the coffin and press her red lips on the blue-haired boy. It was a very quick kiss, an average kiss, but it was enough to work it's magic on the boy.

His eyeslids were heavy, but he managed to opened them, making the Dwarfs cheer. He stretched his limbs, it felt like he's been in an awful position for hours. As both of his eyes opened, he saw a black-haired girl in muddy clothing. After moments of getting his mind in the right place, he remembered the girl, the one who tried to eat Carue. He smiled, but he had questions. Why was she here? Why were they in the forest? Why was he in a coffin? "What happened?" he asked, his voice was sleepy. That was the only question he manged to ask.

"You died," Brook said plainly as if it was a common occurrence. "You ate a poisoned apple."

"So why am I alive?" Viven asked, none of this was making any sense.

All of the dwarfs looked at Luka, who reached the back of the crowd. "Yo Viven!" she greeted.

Zoro turned his eyes from Luka, and onto to Viven. "She had to kiss you."

Viven blushed and looked away, all of the dwarfs laughed.

"I heard it in the forest, it sounded like a old man," Luka said, her head was tilted as she thought.

"The apple must have been cursed." Robin suggested; it made sense.

The kiss is out of the way! Now next chapter will really being wrapping everything up, which will be the King and Viven.

Also Mr. Eight is hidden in the castle, he will make a appearance in the next chapter. Crocodile died because of his deal with Nami, the magical being; he didn't read the fine print and it called for his life. Was this part a bit too much?
