When the cherry blossoms fall to the ground...
And the scent of perfume fills the air...
The air sparkles with a new life and light...
As the gates of Whole Cake Academy open for the day...


The student council was made up of the most capable ladies in the entire school. They ruled the school with elegance and justice, allowing the ladies of Whole Cake Academy to feel safe and secure when they walked through the halls. They were made up of four capable ladies that held their positions with pride, making sure that rules were followed and halls were cleaned.

The leader of the council was none other than Charlotte Linlin herself. The girls referred to her as "Big Mom" due to her maternal personality and sweet attitude. She had dethroned the previous president with a campaign that promised equality for all girls no matter their race, home life, or otherwise. This pleased the females of the school and they all agreed that a president that loved everyone was needed for the new rebranding of the school. The best part about Linlin's rule was her annual tea parties in which a select few of students got to go to the special garden behind the school and have a grand old time.

The vice-president of the council was the stern, but bubbly Kalifa. The blonde haired megane was a well respected member of the council due to her contributions in the disciplinary committee. Running that club and then being in the council secured her position as the vice. Her job was fairly simple; she kept the notes, assigned the respective roles to the student body, and made sure the clubs around the school were running properly. The cute addition to her school uniform was the black coat she wore over her clothes.

School treasurer Nami was the next member of the council. Once a thief that stole from everybody's pockets, Linlin made sure to keep her from doing so by making her in charge of the school's budget. While some thought this was a terrible idea, they were surprised to find out that Nami had a gift with currency and saving money for school trips and events. The orange haired beauty was reliable and navigator savvy as well when it came to such trips. The cute addition to her school uniform was the green and white stripped sweater she wore over her body.

Lastly was the blue haired female secretary Nefertari Vivi. Being the voice of reason and bringing the heart of the group, she was a student that believed in everyone. Being on the council was due to the fact that she had such a large following among the campus, everyone calling her "Princess Vivi". Her job was to make sure that the meetings ran smoothly and without interruption. Her cute addition was the golden bands she wore around her neck, hands, and legs.

"Mamamama...seems that we are all here." Linlin said, leaning over the podium. "I like to call the first official meeting of the new year to start." Turning her attention to Vivi, she nodded. "Please start reading off the notes from the last meeting from the end of the semester." Leaning back on her chair, she opened a bag full of jellybeans and snacked on them.

"Right!" Vivi took out her tablet and read aloud. "We made great progress with the beautification of the newest history wing, had a successful bake sale thanks to Pudding and Mikita's contributions, and managed to raise enough money to go to the beach this year!"

Nami pumped her fist happily. "I told you I could make sure that bake sale sold tons of money!" Crossing her arms, she gave a smug look at Kalifa. "You all said it couldn't be done."

Kalifa pushed up her glasses in annoyance. "What you did was sexual harassment of the female body. Selling baked goods to the juvenile facility and Golden Academy while wearing those skimpy bunny suits was such an embarrassment."

"No matter, we managed to raise the money and that's it." Vivi said, diffusing the feud that was about to break out between the two. "Now we have to decide what new events to plan for the-"

Linlin slammed her hands on the podium angrily, startling the other girls and spilling her jellybeans. "We don't have time for that! I have a more pressing matter to ask you girls that doesn't involve sweets for a change!"

The trio's eyes widen at this declaration. Linlin-san was never one to break her cute facade they had come to know. Often she would throw fits of anger or rage whenever they ran out of snacks in the common room or someone nearly burned down the home economics room. So hearing about something that caught the attention of the sweet girl was something to take notice of.

"Oh? Was there something wrong with the bathrooms on the third floor hallway again?" Nami asked with an eyebrow raised. "I informed Miss Kokoro about fixing them before we came back."

"Not that! A boy has entered the premises today!"

"That's nothing new president, I'll inform Reiju-san to kick him out swiftly and immediately." Kalifa said, taking out her cell-phone to call the other member of the disciplinary committee.

"You aren't listening!" She could feel another tantrum coming on, her face turning red with anger. "He's now enrolled at the school and is now attending!" Slamming her fist against the projector screen, it rolled down as the projector turned on to show the picture of Monkey D. Luffy.

"How did she even do that?" Vivi wondered aloud, impressed by her class president's prowess.

"Well I'll give him one thing, he is kinda cute." Kalifa said, adjusting her glasses once more. "What do you think Nami, isn't he quite the catch?"

Nami felt a sense of nostalgia when she saw his face appear on the screen. Her eyes widen as the memory of her summer days in her old hometown came back to her.


"Wait! Where are you going? I never got to thank you for saving me!"

Little Nami was seen running towards the moving vehicle as she reached a hand out. At the window of the vehicle was a small boy with short black hair wearing a worn out strawhat. This young lad was visiting Cocoyashi Cove on vacation with his family and had befriended the small girl. Throughout the trip, she and him were inseperable, constantly making mischief and eating tangerines at her mother's grove. They enjoyed each other's company a lot, Nami feeling happier than she ever had.

On one of the final days of his trip, Nami had been bullied by a bunch of older boys lead by a mean one named Arlong. They pestered and teased poor little Nami to the point of which she was afraid to even go outside. The strawhat boy left his trusty hat with him as he and his older brothers took out Arlong's gang and saved the town and her as well. She had planned on thanking him before he left, but was sadden to find out that they had left the inn that morning. Now she was running to catch up to the car.

"Luffy, I think your summer girlfriend is trying to tell you something." The freckled brother sitting up front teased as the car stopped at a red light.

"Ace that wasn't very mature of you." The blond haired brother pointed out, but gave Luffy a reassuring smile. "Make it quick though Luffy, we have to get back home before Gramps hears that we left for the entire summer."

Luffy nodded, opening the car door and leaping out on the sidewalk. Nami stopped to catch her breath before bowing slightly in front of him.

"I wanna thank you for playing with me and saving the town." She stood up and gave him a grin. "What you did back there was so amazing and I don't want you to go! Can't you stay longer?"

Luffy gave her a surprised look before patting Nami on the head. "I'm sure we'll cross paths again someday. I believe this meeting we had was just the beginning."

The car honked loudly, signalling to Luffy it was time to go. Nami didn't hesitate as gave a quick peck on his cheek before blushing madly. The boy placed his hand gently on the spot before smiling softly. He got into the car and waved as they left the Cove for the summer.


"-which is why I plan on getting him out of our school!"

Nami snapped out of her thought when she heard the president declare this. Vivi and Kalifa gave Linlin what appear to be a look of utter horror. The pinkette crossed her arms and huffed as she showcased her Ban Luffy poster to the girls.

"I'm confused, didn't you just say that he was allowed to attend here? Why would you want to get him out?" Vivi asked cautiously, not wanting to enact her rage mode.

"Simple Vivi, this is supposed to be an all girls academy. Meaning that boys aren't allowed to come here unless they want to kiss the ground we walk upon." Linlin swallowed another handful of jellybeans. "The way I see it, if he can survive an entire year here, the headmistress will allow more of his kind to entire our clean halls and stink up our natural environment." Clenching her fist, she growled at his picture once more. "Plus, I can't stand him in the slightest! He stared me down this morning, my signature stare did nothing on him! It like he doesn't fear death or something!"

"Aren't you perhaps taking this a bit too far?" Nami said, placing her textbook down. "How are we supposed to get him out of school? He probably enjoys being here as much as we do."

"You know, there might be ways to kick him out or make him leave." Kalifa said coyly, smirking. "There are many rules in place that every girl has to follow and since he is a student here now, he has to follow them too."

Linlin grinned maliciously as she rubbed her palms together. "I like the sound of that Kalifa. How about you meet me down at Spiders Cafe to discuss ways of getting rid of this manly menace." Snapping out of her cruel, business demeanor, she gave a sweet smile. "This meeting is adjourned. See you guys next week for our meeting on what to do for the spring festival!" Gathering up her bags of jellybeans, she grimaced. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to show that man around the school. I've had him waiting outside the door since this morning after the Headmistress told me to bring him around."

"Wait, so he was waiting outside the door the whole time?!" Vivi ran to the door and lo and behold, Luffy was seen sitting on the uncomfortable bench knocked out and snoring. "Oh my goodness, he fell asleep!"

Kalifa shook her head in disgust. "How uncouth. Clearly this is a work of sexual harassment if I ever seen it."

Nami only chuckled as she watched a fake smiling Linlin go up and punch the snoozing boy right in the head, causing him to fall off the bench. Rubbing his head, he glared at her so intensely that the other three could feel pressure weighing them down.

"What in the world made you punch me on the head!?" Luffy yelled, a large bump forming on top.

Linlin huffed and placed her hands on her hips. "Consider this your wake up call. When you roam these halls, I'm in charge here, not you. I'm the leader, the captain, the "Big Mom" as the ladies call me and you are one of my many subordinates." Smiling cutely, she put her hands together and wiggled her hips. "Of course you could always fight back and hit me as hard as you can. I won't move an inch so you can get a clean hit."

I see what she's doing! Knowing him, he would obviously take this time to enact his revenge and punch her back! And since she has such an innocent demeanor about her, he could get expelled for fighting! Nami thought, biting her lip nervously. She hoped he didn't take the bate as she saw Kalifa getting out her phone from her purse in case she had to gather evidence.

Luffy sighed, not wanting to cause trouble on his first day here. "No way, you aren't worth punching in the face."

Linlin blinked, not expecting somebody to deny her. "Excuse me, did you just say-"

"Yeah, I'm not going to punch a girl, no matter how evilly cute she is. I was raised to respect women, never harm them. What kind of a leader hurts the ones he supposed to make friends with?"

All four of them felt their hearts thump wildly at his proclamation, but Linlin's bopped against her chest the hardest. Did he just call her cute? Sure she was used to hearing it from other girls and upperclassmen, but no man had ever had the guts to call her out and call her cute too!

Linlin felt heat rising to her cheeks as she grabbed his hand and lead him down several corridors to the main entrance. "Whatever! It's not like I like hearing you say that. You're just using those manly charms to seduce me into a false sense of security! Well it won't work on me! And didn't I tell you to call me leader?"

SLAM!

Linlin felt herself jump slightly for the first time ever as Luffy slammed his hand against a wall behind her.

"Let me make myself clear, I will become friends with all the females in this school and treat them like the queens they are." His face showed determination as Luffy leaned himself forward to the blushing beauty. "So no matter what happens, I want to be friends with you Charlotte-chan."

Linlin felt herself getting overwhelmed by all these sudden emotions as she promptly passed out. Falling forward, Luffy caught her fallen body and sweatdropped.

"Of all the times she chooses to take a nap, this might be the worse."


I thought the only thing to love was sweets and sugar, but maybe I can love something else for a change.
