A/N: Okay, the Whiskey Peak arc is coming to a close and now the Little Garden Arc...

Then again I think a lot of people agrees with me on that one, anyways enjoy the chapter...

Chapter 48: The Next Island

The crew looked at the woman, Vivi out of all them seemed to be shaking the most, they had no idea who she was or why she was there, but judging by Vivi's reaction it was bad and they all knew they should be on guard, well sort of… one of them was distracted…

"Well… this almost makes up for the man in the dress." Said Kyubi, "But don't think you'll escape without a punishment kit… I nearly went blind…"

Sadly Naruto was more concerned with something else…

"Ms. Wednesday, I met your friend Mr. 8." Said the woman.

"Did you kill… Igaram…" said Vivi.

"How did you get on this ship?" asked Naruto twitching.

"What are you doing here Ms. All Sunday!" yelled Vivi.

The woman named, well Codenamed Ms. All Sunday smiled.

"So she's a member of Baroque Works…" said Sasuke, "Who's partner?"

"She's the partner of Mr. 0, the only person that knows the identity of the boss." Said Vivi, "We followed to see if we could find out the Boss' true identity…"

"Actually I let you follow me!" said Ms. All Sunday.

"That was nice!" said the D Brothers.

"We knew that…. But then you told him that we found out!" yelled Vivi.

"That wasn't nice…" said the D brothers.

"I'm curious… you seemed so earnest… I just had to help you." Said Ms. All Sunday, "A princess declaring war on Baroque Works."

Vivi began to shake, she began to think of various things, "Don't underestimate us!"

That's when various thing happened, Zoro and Sasuke each prepared a sword, Nami got her staff, Naruto summoned many clones, Ino got into position to possess if need to and surprisingly Usopp, Sanji, Kiba and Akamaru (in human form) were right next to here, Kiba and Usopp who had a sling shot pointed at her while even more surprising Sanji had a gun pointed at her.

"Does anyone know what's going on?" asked Kiba.

"No clue, all I know is that is my beloved Ms. Wednesday is danger…" said Sanji.

"Please don't point those at me…" said Ms. All Sunday…

That's when the 4 of them were thrown to the deck.

"What the!" yelled Luffy.

"Kit she ate a Devil Fruit… I forgot to tell you that!" yelled Kyubi.

"Damn why did you say anything earlier!" yelled Naruto out loud.

Actually both of them forgot that Kyubi did mention it back on the island… but everything was so hectic that they forgot…

"He knew and didn't say anything... didn't he?" asked Sakura with a sweat drop.

When the 4 landed (with Akamaru reverting to a dog), something caused Zoro, Nami and Sasuke to drop their weapons, while somehow pushing down Ino and somehow… hitting Naruto and his clones in the nuts.

"Naruto!" cried Hinata.

"Kit… I now know what her Devil Fruit power is…" said Kyubi, who began to giggle perversity

"Well what is it?" asked Naruto.

"Sorry, but I'm not telling you… I'm not letting you take this away!" yelled Kyubi who once again began his perverted giggling.

"Why are you such a pervert…" muttered Naruto.

"She's beautiful!" yelled Sanji going in Love Cook mode.

"Now's not the time!" yelled Ino.

"Don't get excited, I'm not on an assignment so I have no reason to fight you." Said Ms. All Sunday.

That's when she used her powers to somehow throw Luffy's hat to her, she caught it and put it on her cowboy hat.

"Give me back my hat! You're starting a fight!" yelled Luffy.

"So you're the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, huh?" asked Ms. All Sunday, "It's a shame that you and your crew had to befriend a Princess… now Baroque Works in hunting you down…And Princess your only protection is from a bunch of pirates!"

"You better give back my brother's hat… he's been known to lose it when someone touches it…" said Naruto trying to figure out a way to ignore Kyubi's perverted giggles.

Ms. All Sunday ignored them and continued her warning, " But the worst luck of all is your next Island… Little Garden."

Kyubi stopped his giggles, "Oh fuck…" he said.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"I hate that island! I won't say why! But I do! Find a way to skip that island!" yelled Kyubi.

Naruto blinked, whatever there was bad, he instantly paled…

"What's there…" thought Naruto.

"I really don't want to say… it's one of the two worlds islands on the Grand Line I don't recommend going to…" said Kyubi.

"Tell me what's going on!" thought Naruto.

"I really don't want to say!" yelled Kyubi.

Ms. All Sunday tossed back Luffy's hat and something else as well which Vivi caught.

"An eternal pose." Said Vivi.

"It's to the Island of Nothing, it's an island right before Alabasta with it you'll be able to bypass the island." Said Robin.

"So is she a good guy?" asked Nami.

"Way too easy… sounds too much like a trap." Said Sasuke.

"Who knows…" said Ms. All Sunday with a mysterious smile.

Vivi was thinking about it, then Luffy grabbed it and smashed it…

"What the hell!" yelled Sakura punching him the head.

Nami took it from there, "She just gave us an easy, route… what if she's trying to help us!" yelled Nami.

"She's not deciding our course!" yelled Luffy.

"So that's how it is…" said Ms. All Sunday.

"Luffy!" said Naruto, "I don't think you should have done that… there's something on that island that even Kyubi is afraid of!"

"What?" asked Luffy surprised, sure he had a legitimate reason, because she killed Igaram (and Luffy liked that guy) but realized that there was an even better reason for not breaking it…

"You should be happy that I don't mind forceful men… if you sure I hope we meet again." Said Ms. All Sunday.

She jumped to an awaiting turtle…and rode off.

"Wow it's turtle!" yelled Luffy, "And a big one!"

"I wish I knew her game." Said Nami.

"There's no worrying about it…" said Sasuke.

We're used to that sort of thing around here…" said Zoro.

Naruto looked at the ground, "Naruto…" said Hinata, "I heard what you told Luffy about the island."

Naruto looked up, "You did… should I tell anyone…"

Before Hinata could answer Luffy shouted, "Hey the sun's rising, Sanji make breakfast!"

"I'm hungry too!" yelled Naruto.

Hinata couldn't help but to laugh a bit.

Shortly after breakfast they all gathered to explain some things.

"So that's what happened…" said Ino.

"Don't worry, I didn't get a chance to show off last time, but don't' worry, the sleeping knight is now awake!" said Sanji.

"You know it would have been fun to knock a few of those guys out…" said Kiba.

There was an awkward silence "I'm glad I didn't help out…" said Usopp.

"Coward…" muttered Kiba.

"Hey!" yelled Usopp.

"Then again it's better we weren't there, after all we're not on their hit list." Said Sakura.

Everyone stared at Sakura with sweat drops, after all none of them could deny that she was right and the less on the hit list, the better.

"Wait… there's something I think we need to talk about!" yelled Naruto.

"What?" asked Ino.

"The next island… there's something there… that scares Kyubi…" said Naruto.

Everyone else looked at Naruto.

"You're kidding right?" asked Kiba.

"Kyubi?" asked Vivi.

"I have a demon inside of me… but not any ordinary Demon… but the strongest of all the Biju, the Kyubi no Yoko… it is said that he's a force of nature" said Naruto, "And for something to scare him… it's just wrong…"

"I doubt it…" said Sasuke, "He might be trying to mess with us…"

"But he sounds actually scared!" yelled Naruto.

"You better than anyone else knows how he is…" said Sasuke.

"Maybe he is trying to mess with us…" said Naruto, "I mean… unlike last time he was scared, which was a pretty good reason… he gets board in his cage…"

"But I'm serious!" yelled Kyubi.

"Sure you are…" said Naruto, "Sure you are…"

"I hate you…" muttered Kyubi.

"So does he talk to himself a lot like that?" asked Vivi.

"We don't like it, but we're used to it." Sighed Nami.

As time went by, Vivi realized something…

"Should they be doing that!" she yelled.

She was pointing to the guys lounging about drinking drinks that Sanji made.

"Don't worry…" said Nami who was also drinking one of the drinks, "They're pitch in if there's a blow, they don't' want to die either."

Vivi sighed, "Here…" said a voice handing her a drink, it as Ino, "So you and that guy… the one with the curly hair… you two were political figures back where you come from, right? Everyone in the country knew you…"

"Yeah…" said Vivi looking at Ino.

"Okay… thanks…" said Ino.

Ino walked to the back of the ship, "So… that explains the feelings…" she thought looking up at the sky, "Chances are I'm from Alabasta…"

After a strange incident involving a giant dolphin, they saw the island.

"There's the next island…" said Nami, "There's no mistake."

"I keep telling you… I'm not trying to get your goat!" moaned Kyubi.

"I'm begging to think Kyubi's not lying about whatever he's scared of…" said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"What do you mean?" asked Kiba.

"Usually he gives up after 10 minutes… but he's still at it…" said Naruto.

"That could be bad!" yelled Usopp.

As they got closer to the island they discovered it was a strange jungle.

"Kyubi tell us what it is…" thought Naruto.

"I won't say…" whined the Kyubi.

"Will he say…" said Luffy.

"Nope…" said Naruto, "But I'm going to ignore him…"

"Fine do it… but you'll be sorry!" said Kyubi.

And so they approached the island not knowing what to expect from this island, or what will happen…

Next Time: They arrive on the island, where strange things lurks... whether it be prehistoric things or giants... what will happen? And more importantly what is Kyubi scared of the island... find out next time!

A/N: Oh by the way... don't expect any Naruto characters in this arc... however I promise, Drum, the "Filler" and of course Alabasta will be worth your while.
