A/N: I own this laptop, Anya, Ken, some O.C's, and my hunger. I don't own One Piece. DON'T OWN!
-Grand Line, Marine Branch in the city of Lilypad. 4 days ago-
Lilypad was a village that was located near a tropical forest. The forest was lush and filled all sorts of greenery. It also had a swamp filled with lilypads. Actually, they're larger than normal lilpads. Twenty-foot circumference and had multiple colors. Are you asking if there are large frogs or toads? No, there are not. Sorry, but they are just normal height and few poisonous ones here and there.
That's not all Lilypad is famous for. They have waffles to die for coming in all flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, peach, bacon. All flavors you can think of and then some.
Inside the marine branch of Lilypad, one could see Tashigi training with some marine swordsmen. When she entered the Grand Line the woman wanted to test her skills against those here. She met a man named Kei who easily managed to overpower her. He then dragged her to a training room and had use the equipment to better herself.
Speaking of him, earlier she watched him fight a Lancer, only for that person to beat him. Now him and the lancer went out to get waffles. The dark blue haired female felt her stomach growl. She would go acquire something delicious and worry about her skills later.
"I'll get stronger to contend with Roronoa. I have to get those swords away from him."
After cleaning herself up, she left the facility to find a place in town to eat. As she looked around the village her mind drifted back to when they first arrived in the Grand Line. She was a bit scared due to the sudden storm roaring in from out of nowhere. She thought the ship would sink, fortunately, the crew managed to pull through that mess. She was equally scared of crossing the Calm Belt due to the Sea Kings, despite the safety of using Sea Stones built into the ships for safe travel. She did get a chuckle when Ken dashed inside the cabin after hearing a pop sound. He thought it was a Sea King, it was actually someone opening a soda can.
He played it off by saying he had to find a book.
Walking along the village, she spotted two figures approaching her. One was Ken, the other was a man with short blonde hair in a buzz cut and a scar over his forehead. He was older than Ken though, around 30. He was also a Lieutenant Commander.
Ken spotted the girl and held up box. "Waffle?"
"No."
"It's chocolate banana."
"I want lunch, not breakfast." She glared at him while mentally ridiculing him
Ken felt the derision, backed down and sighed with defeat while he took a bite out of the waffle. "You're no fun you know. You need to lighten up more. Your mind is always on Roronoa."
The blonde marine beside him stared at her. "Still upset about the pirate hunter?"
"Sorry sir." Tashigi politely answered. She felt this man deserved more respect than her blue haired coworker. Speaking of him, the man sent her a sad look her way as she replied. "He's just despicable."
"So? Why shouldn't he tell you his name or say you are poor imitation of his long dead friend. I'd be mad too."
"Permission to kick him?" Tashigi asked.
The blonde stared at Ken for a second and back Tashigi. "Permission granted."
Ken gasped. "Now wait just a minu-AUGH!"
The woman performed a powerful spinning back kick to the face, knocking him off his feet. The blonde marine turned to his blue haired acquaintance. "That's what I said during training. There are times where you open your mouth and times where you must keep that trap of your shut. An odd ball as yourself must know your weakness."
Ken merely grunted. "Yes sir." 'I dropped my waffles.'
"Lame."
Tashigi jumped at the voice and quickly reached for her sword, only to be stopped by Kei. He shook his head and pointed to the person standing a few feet from Ken. A 19-year-old woman with long red hair tied into a single braid. On her head was a marine cap. Her upper body had the tradition marine uniform, but her lower clothing had a short skirt, bicycle shorts, white knee high socks, and white steel toed boots that were 6 inches below the knee. Her half open eyes showed her teal colored pupils. Her posture showed her to be laidback and lazy.
"Um hello? I did not notice you."
"Yo." She waved lazily.
"This person." Ken pointed at the girl. "She's assigned to us. Her name is Miyako, we have to play nice with her."
"...rude... point."
"And she seems to be lazy about words sometimes."
Tashigi glared at the man. She walked to the girl, changing her demeanor into a friendly one. "I hope you and I will work together."
"Comrades." The girl half smiled.
Ken chuckled. "Yep, she'll be an asset. Smoker approved before meeting with the Rear Admiral. Wonder what that's all about?"
-Office in the Marine branch base-
"Why do you need me for this?" Smoker stared at the document in his hand and then back at his superior officer.
The Rear admiral frowned. "Chasing after a rookie crew can't distract you from what your duty is. Anybody can handle strawhat when they find him. You can break off finding him and solve this issue over at Renaisse." The officer got up from his seat and turned toward the window. "Reports say people disappear for days and are found later in an odd condition. The people were smiling and laughing. Some of them ended up dead. The sad thing, there is no cure."
"Smiling and laughing? What kind of fruit user are we dealing with that could put people in fits of laughter and permanent smiling. This is strange.
"Strange? Yes. Find out if it's a pirate group, bandits, anything. No matter what people believe, there are other terrors besides pirates and bandits." The rear admiral turned around and slammed both hands on the desk. "I want you to solve this case."
"Fine," He got up. "I enforce my brand of justice on whoever is causing this. Although, I do find it ridiculous people die or end in a state of smiling. Can it be a Fruit user?
"Or someone is using embarking on the dark side of science. Science can be used to cure and use to harm. If isn't a fruit user, expect a scientist gone mad. I want you think of this assignment as punishment for abandoning your post to chase after Strawhat. Don't go rogue on me and be sure to watch out for X-Drake. I hear he went rogue recently."
"Him? Wonder why?"
"Doesn't matter what his reasons are." The man sighed. "Just finish that mission and then you can find those kids." He gazed at the Wanted Posters of Anya and Luffy. "Why are you so dead set on them?"
"He escaped and I have a feeling he will be someone to keep an eye on. I want stop him before he gets stronger." Smoker picked himself up and walked out. First things first, get his crew prepared for the long journey and locate gas masks. Fruit user or not, he's not breathing that substance.
-Grand Line, Holiday Island. 4 days ago—
Mr. 3 p.o.v.
My name is Galdino, not that common and at the bottom of the list of names parents want to give their children. I pushed that name aside when I joined Baroque Works. I am now called Mr. 3. I am one of the powerful individuals worthy enough to be less than 10. Hn, even less than 5. I'm an Officer Agent. I didn't achieve this by recklessly fighting my way to the top. No, I used my mind, unlike the fools who just muscle their way out of anything.
I am artist, I am a genius. I am human. I don't like it when my plans come undone. I try to make backups in case there is the initial plan failed. I am cursed with the Devil Fruit known as the Wax-Wax Fruit. I was foolish enough to believe I would get some mystical ability that would increase my mind tenfold. The human human fruit I heard about. Sadly that won't happen, but that does not mean I can use my fruit creatively.
Some may my find wax useless, but anything can be powerful once you find its strengths and recognize its weakness. I have learned that those who are overconfident in their abilities will never achieve anything.
I noticed my companion, a sixteen-year-old with a childlike appearance, code name Miss Goldenweek. Before you ask, Mr. 0 placed us together. She is a teenager, but looks like a child. Probably from all those rice crackers she eats all the time and no other nutrients. She very content with herself and never has shown emotion. That one way of saying she's too laid back and very lazy. She loves painting which goes along my love for art. With any color she can make almost anybody under her will. I guess that one reason the boss paired us up.
While sipping my Earl Tea I noticed her staring at a piece of paper.
"Goldenweek you have been staring at that piece of paper for a few days. What's in there that's so important?"
She stared at me with a straight face and said. "A message from the boss."
My jaw unhinged dropping to the point where it could fall to the floor. "YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME SOONER!" That stupid brat is going to give me a heart attack! Damn. I grab the paper from her and analyzed it. "Hmm, it seems that Mr. 5 has fallen. Miss Goldenweek, don't you wish it was Mr. 2 that could've been beaten?"
"Then we could get promoted."
"It matters not if he is beaten. There is nothing to panic about. Come on we have to get a move on."
"Okay." There she goes with that monotone voice. Sometimes I wonder if that's just a mask. No matter. Mr. 5 fits what I said about people who are too overconfident in their abilities. Planning is the way to go.
-Little Garden, Present-
Anya's p.o.v.
I brushed past a bush and made way through the jungle infested place known as Little Garden. I don't know what to make of this place. I have never heard of this place before. I don't remember my master speaking of this place. Minutes ago our crew docked on this island and separated. Luffy-nii, Vivi, and Carue-kun went to go exploring. Vivi and Carue-kun will be fine as long as Luffy is with them.
Okay, I gave the duck a suffix because it's adorable. Before, I apologized for the slur about making it into fried duck. I think it forgave me with a quack.
Anyway, Zoro and Sanji decided to have a contest of men. To see who can get the most food. Eh, Zoro started it when he taunted him about saying how weak he was. He just knows how to rile up someone. Sanji does too sometimes. The both of them may have a lot of enemies and seemed developed a rivalry
Usopp and Nami stayed back on the ship, scared of what dangers are here after witnessing a tiger lying in a pool of its blood. The so-called king of the jungle was overthrown by something else. I decided to explore this place while marking arrows on trees that would lead me back to the ship. Getting lost isn't on my 'to do list'.
This large jungle feels different somehow. Not like the one back Goa Kingdom or that other place I went to. The terrain feels something akin nature not wanting any form of humanity around. There was a lingering feeling of invading someone's turf. The last time I felt this feeling was when Luffy, Ace, and I encountered a swarm of bees. We got stung and acquired honey. Best honey ever.
The more I continued walking, the more I felt something breathing down my neck. I scanned my surroundings. Nothing. I felt as I was watched by some malevolent creature. Something is out there and waiting for me to lower my guard. I kept walking and acted like my guard was lowered.
I heard the snap of a twig and whirled around with my shield raised and my other arm gripping my spear. There was a hissing sound followed by something licking its lips. I tried to calm myself. Obviously feeling tensed at the feeling bloodlust coming my way. Some part of me wanted to leave, but the part of wanting to fight roared louder. Something was coming.
The hair of the back of my neck rose. I rolled away in time to avoid something striking the spot I stood.
I got up and viewed my opponent. It looked like an overgrown lizard with sharp teeth. Hmm…. I've seen this before. Where? No…. it can't be. I can't believe. I smacked my head to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Once I realized I wasn't I chuckled with amusement.
It was a raptor. A dinosaur that existed in the prehistoric age and it SHOULD HAVE died billions of years ago. I remember reading about it once. So why the hell is it still alive? Why does it exist? Didn't he get the memo to quit life forever? Who cares, this guy wants to sink its teeth in me.
I did not like how his claw look sharp enough to pierce my flesh and then take a chunk of my flesh and use that piece to feed its friends. I raised my small shield with the moon emblem on it. I changed shields before I left.
It ran at me snapping its teeth hungrily. I avoided his claw from cutting me, but it jerked its head forward to try for a bite. I quickly swiped my shield blocking him from tearing into me. I spun around twice, performing a backhanded shield bash, knocking the lizard out cold. Huh, that's all it took? I thought it was stronger, maybe I misjudged its strength. I looked at it carefully and wondered if Sanji could make a decent meal out of it. I wondered if he could make Lasagna with dinosaur meat. He'd do it without a second thought. It does bother me a bit to do a simple gesture he would be at my beck and call. I did tell him not treat me delicately... although it's tempting to use him, but I won't.
It felt like hours, or some amount of time had pass, since I ventured out here. I heard the volcano rang out the more I explore this jungle. I came across a watering hole or just some body of water that could be a pond. I noticed a tiger minding its own business while drinking. Wait, it had long fangs coming down from where its upper canine teeth should be. What was it called? Sharp-Fang Tigersaur?
I did not disturb it so I decided to walk around it, but I accidentally stepped on a twig. I sighed when its ears were flapping and looked up with a fierce glare. Stupid animal and its sensitive ears.
"…" I didn't say a word while we were having our very intense staring contest. First one who blinks dies, heh heh. A low hissing sounded behind me. I narrowed my eyes knowing it was probably the moron I knocked out earlier or another raptor. Should I engage them all now? It would be nice to have prehistoric meat.
Maybe I can pit them against each other. Can I?
"Hey, you!" I pointed at the tiger. "You want me!" I then gestured to the dino behind. "It wants me. How about you guys fight over me and then I'll get th-." I rolled away before the raptor could bite me. Hearing it's teeth gnash together wasn't a good thing. "The victor…. You interrupted me. How stupidly rude are you?" I jumped over the tiger as it tried to tackle me. I landed gracefully on my feet and then stood up. You know, I wonder if it is okay to kill them, since we are on their turf.
Then both lunged at me.
"Alright Sharpy. Let's go!" I ordered the saber-toothed tiger while sitting on his back. Bruises were on it's face as it unhappily walked through the jungle. I looked back at the deceased Raptor I killed. That thing couldn't be tamed, but this guy. I can mend his will to me. Heh…. Do I sound evil!
Sharpy and I continued our trekked through the jungle. It's kind of boring and I think I am lost after a the tiger, raptor and I ran about the jungle before I finally got tired of their antics. I haven't seen anything in a while despite there being dinosaurs here. I did hear a volcano sounding throughout the air minutes ago. The strange thing? Sharpy was scared for some reason. He lived here all his life, but why would a volcano like that scare him? I don't know, it does not really concern me.
A while later, I released sharpy from my superior hold. Our heartfelt moment goodbye wasn't heartfelt. He took off like a headless chicken in a slaughter factory. Hm, I guess I can call myself the Queen of the Jungle. I laughed at bit and continued walking along the jungle terrain with no idea where to go. I should head back to the ship, it wouldn't be good me to get lost. It wouldn't be good for anyone else on the crew. That includes Zoro and my brother. Something caught my eyesight. Squinting my eyes, I tried to see who was there the closer I got. A smile came to my face knowing who it was. Standing near the trunk of a tree was…
"Zoro!" I waved happily at him, but he didn't wave back. Heh, typical badass. I walked closer to him as he stood there with his arms crossed. "So did you get the meat? Was your dinosaur bigger than his? The both of you are just macho idiots. I wouldn't be surprised if you caused an entire species to be extinct over some competition."
He didn't say anything.
"Sheesh, are you mute because he beat you already? It was your own stupid fault. Don't get caught in his taunting. Perhaps I should tell Sanji not to get caught up in your taunting. You boys are always trying to out macho each other."
I stopped in front of him and placed my hands on my hips, leaned forward and tilted my head.
"Huh, mad? Are you feeling you pride as a swordsman is on the line because of it? Come on Roronoa, where is that look of 'I'm going to kill you dead?'"
All of sudden Zoro transformed into some king gooey substance and quickly entrapped me before I could react. I was confused and scared about what just happened. The worst part is I couldn't reach for my spear and the more I struggled the more resistance it put up against me.
It then bounded my arms and legs. My arms were tied behind my back. Even if I could, this stuff was harder than it looks. I tried struggling again, but it was useless. This stuff had the familiar smell of wax. What's happening?
"Another plans come unfolds."
"Yeah…."
I looked up to find two figures moving toward me. One was man with goofy looking clothes and had his hair shaped like a three. The tip of his hair had a small fire lit. How did he managed to not get catch the rest of his hair on fire. The other was girl, probably a pre-teen, with a blank expression. No, I've seen that look. That's the look of a procrastinator. My first words were.
"You look stupid mister."
"SHUT UP BRAT!" He roared and then regained his composure. "Can't have you causing me to lose my focus now." He used his weird powers to produce two wax men. They picked me up and carried me away."
"Who the hell are you?"
"I guess if you are about to die soon, I'll tell you. I'm Mr. 3, this is Miss Goldenweek. As you know we are member of the Baroque works."
"Blah, blah, whatever. Let me go so I can beat you up and sent little miss to her roo-omph."
The little brat shoved a rick cracker in my mouth. She stared at me with a poker face expression and turned around to walk. I munched on and swallowed. It was pretty good, but that was beside the point. I made faces at them as we were walking. Once we got to our destination he dropped me and two of them ran off quickly. Stupid bastards.
"So they got you too?"
"Huh?" I looked around and noticed Zoro was bounded in the same way as me. Damn, if he's stuck here then this an enemy we have to take seriously.
"How did you get here?"
"Well…. I thought I was talking to Nami and then this stuff here caught me. How about you?"
"… It disguised itself as you."
"Looks like we fell for trap. Unlucky for us someone has an ability to produce substance to make clones of anybody."
"I wonder who else it caught?"
"Usopp, but he seems pretty good at avoiding trouble."
"Yeah, I also think Nami is just as capable of escaping trouble as him. So we'll end up being rescued somehow."
"If only I could cut it."
"Feels like it's harder than it looks."
"Hm.."
A while later the two jerks tossed Nami beside us, said his villain monologue and walked off. Another prisoner to keep us company.
"Hey Nami." I greeted cheerfully. She glared at me in return.
"What is this? I was talking to Luffy then he transformed." She motioned to the wax. "Into this! What the hell is going on?"
"What's going on is... the three of us need to figure out way to get out of here." Zoro said while still struggling.
"Can't you two break out of this?"
"No, this stuff is harder than it looks. Is wax this tough?"
Nami thought about it for a moment. "Probably. Years ago, it was used to seal papers fearing that said documents would stain, get wet, or destroyed. Wax can be used as almost anything."
"Fire seems to be it's one weakness or anything with heat.." I turned my head to Nami. "Did Usopp pack any explosives or fire in your thief belt?"
"No…, but I think I'll recommend him giving me some if we escape from this."
"Speaking of which, what happened?" I asked. "I would've figured Usopp would've been captured with you."
"Well… it went like this."
Zoro and I were updated on what happened after we left. Her and Usopp met a male giant named Brogy who was a warrior from Elbaf. Not knowing what he was like, the obvious reaction to him was fear. They reluctantly went with him as guest for a meal. Said meal was a giant lizard he killed before it bit him in the ass. Dumb Lizard
During their time with him, the giant explained why he is staying in Little Garden. Him and his friend were having a 'mutual' disagreement about something stupid. So they stayed here and fought each other for 100 years. They fight when the volcano erupts and rest when the volcano erupts again.
I find it hard to believe they can live for 300 years and honestly embrace death. Master told me there are different people in our world. Giants, Long arm people, long leg, dwarfs, merman, mermaids and the like. Stuff like this makes you wonder what else is out there and if there is a new species no one has discovered yet or old that was thought extinct.
"Looks like Mr. 3 did the work for us."
That voice sounds familiar. We turned to the source. I gasped
"Snot bomb you're here?"
He faltered at his nickname and visibly growled. "Quiet girl. Mr. 3 wants you alive for some reason."
Zoro narrowed his eyes. "Another Baroque Works member."
"Enough talk, help out here Miss Valentine."
He tossed us in an open spaced area. Upon looking at my surroundings I noticed a volcano in the distance. Peering over I saw a giant man with a horned helm. He must be the giant Nami was talking about, but the guy was trapped by the same wax that was holding us. Something caught my attention in the form of large wax sculpture. The bottom part resembled three stacks of cake piled on top of another. Imagine a wedding cake with a stupid jack o' lantern face on it.
Beyond that was a wax pole attached to some kind of jack o'lantern shaped thing. On that were candles. This is bizarre. I noticed another person that startled me. Vivi was captured as well. More people I don't recognize. A little girl with neutral expression holding some kind of art box and a man with a giant 3 shaped from his hair.
"Vivi!" Nami shouted. "What are you doing here? Where is Luffy?"
Vivi opened to answer, but that Booger bomb man interrupted her. "Worrying about that boy? I already killed him."
I growled in anger at him. "Bastard!"
"You think he did?" I noticed the green-haired swordsman smirk. "Heh."
Yeah… I don't think he has the strength to bring Luffy down. Yeah, somehow within my heart, my idiot of a brother is alive, but probably indisposed at the moment."
"YESS!" The strange 3 man shouted. "Finally I have the whole set! LET MY MASTERPIECE BEGIN!"
As soon as he said that, Zoro, Vivi, Nami and I were placed on the wax cake like thing. Our feet were stuck in the wax making it very difficult to break out. To make things more confusing, that jack o' thing was spinning around and around for some reason. I speak for all of us that it makes us take on the appearance of decorations or candles on a cake. Too bad it's not Chocolate caramel. I'd eat it like a hungry Lion.
"HOW IS THE TASTE OF MY CANDLE SERVICE!" That annoying Mr. 3 shouted at us. "Look above, the more it spins the more wax mist will rain down upon you. You will become human candles, my own very special work of art! You will be wax dolls with human souls. Isn't it great to die in the name of art?"
"Your hair is on fire." I pointed at the flame at the tip of his hair. "Does that spark measure your creativity?"
"SHUT IT BRAT!"
"Anya." Zoro smirked. "Sometimes people don't have that spark to be inspired by."
"Are you both trying to get us killed faster." Vivi cried at us.
Our navigator wasn't thrilled about being candles. "DON'T GOAD HIM TO KILLING US QUICKER! I'M NOT DYING FOR HIS TWISTED FASCINATION OF ART!" Her gaze turned to the giant. "Mr. Brogy! Can't you do something? You'll be a candle as well!"
Mr. 3 only smirked. "There is nothing to be said. It was done before you started your barbaric ritual. He cried tears of joy over his victory, despite otherwise. Did he cry because he felt sympathetic for his comrade or if he's just sensitive being?" He laughed cruelly. "He killed his best friend of more than a hundred years and never realized he was injured. Look there is no speck of intelligence in his eyes. THERE IS NOTING YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE!"
"Trash!" I shouted. "There's no point in making fun of him for that!"
"Shouldn't you feel the same for your brother and friend? They met their ends of the Mr. 5 pair."
"HA!" I patted my chest. "Twins can feel the life force of others. So without a doubt he is alive."
"That's just a myth." Mr. 3 motioned his glasses with a smile. "The only thing you fear is your death."
"Is that s-."
"Anya!" Nami and Vivi shouted, somehow knowing what I was about to say.
"I knew." Our eyes turned to the giant. "I knew there was something wrong with him when the fight started."
The very sound of the chuckling candle man ticks me off. "You knew? He was injured and you still showed him absolutely NO MERCY! You must be lying."
"You will never understand our feud. That was the meaning of my tears. It is all about pride and that is something you can never understand. He fought with GREAT pride on behalf of Elbaf. There is no way I can disgrace him.
He took a deep breath and shouted. "YOU WANT TO DESTROY THE PRIDE OF A WARRIOR WHO WAS ALREADY ACCEPTING DEATH!"
"Zoro!" I called.
"Yeah, I know."
"Know what?" Nami looked between the two of us. "Do you understand?"
Of course, that was the passionate speech from a warrior. A true warrior that doesn't care about death, but rather embraces it. He fights because he has the will, he has the courage, even if it's a fight between friends. I don't know the giant man, yet I think he's the kind of guy who would rather go out with a bang standing up than to turn his back. If Elbaf has giants like these guys, then I would want to see the country for myself.
"Look he's breaking out!"
Vivi was right. Sure enough he managed to break the wax off one his arm while making another great speech about his other giant friend Dorry. I do understand a little, but I guess Elbaf warriors they have a spark that can produce an inferno brighter than the failed artist.
'BOOOM!'
My eyes widen and my teeth clenched. I felt anger that booger bomb man flicking his deadly boogers of doom at the giant. Still can't get over his weird choice of utilizing his powers. Vivi told me about what he did back in Whiskey Peak. If he trained himself more efficiently, he'd be unstoppable. I'm thinking he's beneath using his real power, but then how easily him and miss feather witch were defeated, I think he's just a moron who can't use his powers realistically.
But enough of that. The stupid bastard blew up the giant and that's unforgivable! If I could get myself out of here I would kick all their asses and then bury them in his own wax. First the two fives, then the candle idiot. The creepy emotionless girl would get spanked badly and sent to her room for being a creepy emotionless girl.
"Wax Wax… CANDLE SWORD!"
Upon making that giant wax blade he pierced it in the giant hand, hoping it would keep there. Ouch.
"LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING NOW!
That's too painful to watch, he made three more wax swords to pierce the giant's other hand and legs. The sickening sound of piercing flesh can make untrained person cringe. It looks like he crucified, minus the nailing both feet together in the same spot.
"IF YOU MOVE YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR ARM AND LEGS"
"Mr. Brogy!" Nami cried.
"HEY!" I roared. "THAT'S UNCALLED FOR!"
"That's very low for someone like you." The princess couldn't tolerate this kind of cruelty.
Mr. 3, still looking like maniac, turned to us. "You're still yapping?" He activated his wax powers. "I'll increase the speed on my masterpiece. You'll be dolls in no time!"
The object above our heads spun faster than before. More wax particles pour frequently, and I think some fell in my lungs. It was getting difficult to breath and I heard Nami coughing. This is bad, we'll be done for soon and the last thing I will hear is the failed artist acting like a maniacal monster. Who does this? Who traps people in wax for all eternity? It's barbaric if you ask me. Our bodies might be sold off somewhere to some monster liking the idea of actual people trapped in wax. Or some creepy pervert... ew!
Poor Brogy was getting wax dust too. Feeling that death was upon me, I felt like smiling for some reason. I don't know why, but perhaps I welcome it.e I was not terrifying, it felt serene, peaceful. I know everything I did was the most I did in life and this was my last day. I am not afraid, but I don't feel like dying just yet. There is much more I want to accomplish. I tried looking toward the giant again. It's getting a bit difficult to move, but it hasn't immobilized by me yet.
He's crying again…. crying for his friend and….. something else. I growled, wax man kept on cackling, taunting, and using any means of mental torture to bring our spirits down. I feel a down casted a little, I have no idea where my brother, Sanji, Usopp, and Carue-kun are. They're the only that can save us…, but how long can we last?
"Hey, can you still move?" Zoro hasn't spoken in a while. At the moment he was talking to the giant. "If you can still have the use of your arms and legs, then use them. That's better than dying while not doing anything."
He unsheathed both of his katana. I think I know what he's going to do.
"I'll cut both of my legs off. Don't you want to come and take care of the people for me."
"ARE YOU INSANE!" Nami cringed at the thought. "YOU CAN'T JOKE AT A TIME LIKE THIS!"
"Who says I'm joking. I'm going to do it. What about you?"
It was Vivi's turn. "WHAT ABOUT US! YOU DO THAT AND YOU'LL BE TAKEN DOWN FASTER!"
"If you don't try you will never know." He smiled. "We're still going to die, we might make the most of it."
"Alright!" I chirped as I took out my spear. "I agree."
"NO!" Nami shouted in my direction. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW HIM! BE MORE SENSIBLE!"
"I rather die in battle than be turned into a wax candle doll!" I smiled at her. "I'm going out with a smile either way!"
"HAHAHA! You kids are alright. Fine, I will join. It's better die in battle than to do nothing at all."
I lose my legs, I lose half my fighting style. It'll be worth it I guess. Even if we lose our legs our hearts will still continue to beat within our bodies until our last breath. It's best to make the most of our of this. I'm sorry Luffy, but I won't be able to travel with you any longer. Say hi to Shanks for me.
"Wait! I'm going to fight too." Spoke the princess. Well, well, looks like royalty has more guts than I thought."
"LET'S DO IT!" shouted Brogy.
"GO AHEAD I'LL KILL YOU ALL"
I took a deep breath and stabbed my leg. Damn it hurts! Just before any of us could finish, a loud crash could be heard and three familiar figures were sent barreling out of the forest with a battle cry."
"YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Luffy, Usopp and Carue-kun came to our rescue.
"WE'VE COME TO CRUSH YOU ALL!" They said as they comically flew past us and into a few trees. We all watched the spot for a minute until they emerged.
"LET'S FINISH THEM USOPP AND DUCK!"
"YAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
"QUACK!"
Our heroes folks. They arrived in the nick of time. Usopp always carries gunpowder with him or something that can produce fire. It's part of his fighting style. Tricks and gadgets. Speaking of him. He walked forward and pulled down his goggles in a dramatic fashion. He's going to get serious.
"SENSEI BROGY! I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! LET ME AVENGE YOUR COMRADE!"
"Heh." I chuckled. "That's some courage he has there."
Nami sighed. "They need to hurry up." She then started shouting. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! HURRY UP AND SEND THEM IN THE GROUND!"
My brother started cracking his knuckles, indicating he was about to kick major ass. "They destroyed the pride of the giants. I will beat every one of them."
Failed Artist turned to them, his back facing us. I think he's probably smirking because that's all he does when facing those he finds inferior. "So, you're the most wanted man in the East Blue? You? A person who came crashing down like this! The standards of the marine must be at all time low."
My brother eagerly stared at the moron. Then his expression switched to a state of shock. "His hair looks really stupid!"
"WHAT?"
"It's shaped like a three and it's on fire! Anya do you see that?"
"Luffy that fire is the size of his creativity."
"That's sad, sorry you have no imagination."
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! I can see why the marines put a bounty on the both of you. YOU TWO ARE ANNOYING BRATS!"
"YOU'RE WAISTING TIME!" Nami shouted. "FIRST DESTROY THE CANDLES STAFF FIRST!"
"Right… wait…. ANYA? What are you doing there? You're trapped? ZORO TOO!"
"You just now realized." I facepalmed at him
"I don't know about your sister, but I'm not that much in trouble."
"There's blood coming from your legs." Our navigator said in annoyance and then she looked at me. There was blood coming from right leg. "He's a bad influence on you."
"Don't talk to me like I'm 12."
"As the oldest female I have to."
"Anyway!" Zoro interrupted us. "Could you get rid of this staff Luffy, I'll handle the rest."
"The hell?" I yelled. "Brother free me first, I'll show you I can take em faster!"
He smirked in my direction. "Can you?"
"Damn you Zoro."
"Alright," Luffy grinned and took a step forward. "Let's do this."
A/N: Ya know…. From what it looked like in the manga and anime, it looked like it took half a day to go from Whiskey Peak to Little Garden then it showed that Miss Goldenweek received a notice from the boss a few days ago. Hmph, there should be an indicator rather than implying. Eh… oh well. That's why I had them arrive at Little Garden nearly a week later.
I don't want to repeat everything that happened in Little Garden. Anya, Vivi, or another crew member with give a short summary later. The next two chapter will be dealing with Smoker, Tashigi, Ken, and their band of merry marines. Then after that will be the Strawhats. Why am I doing this?
Because I want to add something different. I don't want to make it totally a rehash plus an OC... even though it looks like it.
Add new things so it won't stagnate. That's why I am making it from Anya's perspective. Skip a few things she's not around for and maybe show things from the other character's p.o.v's.
When Marineford happens, she won't be there. It'll all be from Ken's or someone else's point of view. I won't do Impel Down and Amazon Lily because Anya won't be there. I don't feel like putting it in Luffy or another person's p.o.v.
