Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece and Lewis Carroll owns Alice in Wonderland. I just took the two together and made this chimera of a story.

I fear that the supernova may seem a little out of character in this chapter...My original intent was to try to follow Carroll's plot but...I had made Eustass Kid the mouse and those two characters are kind of similar in ways of temper, but that was about it. I don't feel like I have a very good understanding of these rookie pirates and I did the best I could, but nonetheless, you have been warned.

The race is still somewhat similar. Ending this chapter was not a pretty landing. I hope I still managed to pull through...Well, enjoy~

Soon, all the supernova, minus Zoro, had gathered on the shore and the first matter of discussion was why the devil fruit users had managed to stay afloat and even swim, minus Luffy.

The discussion was not going well. Bonney was only half-engaged in the debate and the other half of her time was spent to complain about her hunger, Hawkins kept insisting that the whole ordeal was impossible and that he had the calculations to prove it, Drake was too preoccupied trying to dry himself with his already drenched cape, Killer attempted to drain his helmet by bowing to the palm trees, and Law insisted on seeing the problem biologically and went on to explain the negative and positive feedback mechanisms of the human body in order to achieve homeostasis which left the rest of the supernova utterly baffled. Luffy did nothing to contribute to the argument and decided that Kid's face was far more interesting.

"Where are your eyebrows?" asked Luffy, his face just inches from Kid's.

"None of your business, Strawhat," Kid growled as he shoved him aside.

"Is it because you had to make room for the horns?"

"What horns? What in hell are you talking about?"

"You're really pale, too. Are you a ghost? You feel really solid, so maybe not."

"Strawhat, you are disturbingly bizarre. Now quit touching me!"

"Your nakama sure is polite, bowing to everything like that."

"What the hell are you doing, Killer?"

"Well, Kid, have you ever had a fishtank turned over onto your head? It's kind of like that," replied the clearly peeved masked man.

"I got it!" Luffy faced the other bickering supernovas. "We're hammers, right?"

They nodded, unsure of just how much of the discussion he had been paying attention to.

"Maybe we're wooden hammers. Wood can float, right?"

They immediately disregarded his theory and resumed their mainstream bantering but were unable to reach a single conclusion.

"Curiouser and curiouser," Law murmured.

Everyone stared at the doctor.

Law shrugged. "Well somebody had to say it."

"Ugh, it's too hard to think when my hair's dripping wet!" Bonney shouted.

"And it's too hard for me to think when you're always shouting!" Bege vented.

"In that case," said Drake solemnly, rising to his feet, "I move that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies—"

"Speak English!" Bonney barked. "I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and what's more, I don't believe you do either!" A few of the other supernovas chuckled at Bonney's bold accusation.

"What I was going to say," Drake continued, although in a slightly more offended tone, "was that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race."

Luffy jumped up. "A race? You're on! Ready, set, go!" he gleefully cried out as he sprinted off in a random direction.

For reasons unknown even to the supernovas, they all sprang to their feet and chased after him, each striving to outrun the other.

They soon became very competitive and even though they were all dry after only ten minutes, they continued to run. Luffy was still in the lead and behind him, he could hear a cacophony of curses and threats.

"Out of my way, Trafalgar Law!"

"Eustass-ya, if you keep ordering me around like that, you won't even be able to stand, let alone run."

"Time to eliminate some competition!"

Luffy turned at the last comment to see Bonney about to kick Apoo below the equator until Drake suddenly called out, "The race is over!"

Surprisingly, everyone stopped. Apoo breathed a sigh of relief and made sure to stay far away from Bonney when the pirates grouped up again.

"So who won?" Luffy asked Drake.

"Um…" Drake thought for a second. "Everybody."

"That's great! Where are the prizes?"

"What?"

Luffy sighed, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world besides having a campfire when you're in the woods. "When someone wins something, they get a prize!" Luffy insisted.

"What do we even have to give out as prizes?"

Everyone searched their pockets, but came out empty. Except for Luffy who pulled out Sanji's box of onigiri, which was miraculously unharmed.

"Food! Give it here!" Bonney demanded.

Luffy stretched his arms so that the box was out of her reach. "No way! This is mine!"

"Hmph, with your vulgarity, you shouldn't get a prize," Bege sneered at the pink-haired woman.

Bonney stomped over to the man in the suit. "You want to start something? You're half my height and probably twice my age. Just what do you think you can possibly do?"

Drake stepped in between them. "Save your energy, your squabble is meaningless."

"It's all right," Hawkins calmly stated. "I do not see the shadow of death behind either of the two."

He then turned to Luffy. "You, on the other hand…You have a different shadow behind you…It's large. And its eyes are glinting. I can also make out cropped white hair…a short, white beard…a dog hat…and a bag of doughnuts."

Urouge's smile never left his face, but he did pale slightly. "I don't think that's a shadow."

Luffy turned around. "Ack! Gramps!"

Drake blanched. "It's Garp!"

The Hero Monkey D. Garp put away his doughnuts and cracked his knuckles. "Luffy, I'll let you go because you're my grandson. The rest of you, however, are a terrible influence on him. Prepare to die, lousy pirates!"

They wasted no time in escaping. Sadly, this has left Luffy all alone but it wasn't long before he heard footsteps. He turned, hoping that maybe they managed to escape from Garp already and had returned to explain to him why Kid was missing eyebrows.

...You know, I'm not really sure if Bege really is that short. I just imagine him to be.

When Luffy was inquiring about Kid's horns it was because I still had Eustass Devil Goat Kidd stuck in my head. Sorry.

That part where Drake proposed a caucus race used lines that were directly taken from Carroll's text. I think that's why I made Drake the dodo...just because I wanted Bonney to yell at Drake so she had to be the Eaglet and Drake's a dinosaur so being a dodo isn't too far off considering the fact that both species are extinct.

I would normally use this space to explain the differences between my chapter and Carroll's chapter but...there's too many to point out.

What happened to the supernova? Well, they stumbled upon Buggy the driftwood who got washed ashore. So they propped him up in the sand, opened the door, went in, and slammed the door in Garp's face. He huffed and he puffed but Garp could not blow the door down so he resorted to Plan B which was to lift the door out of the sand and swing it far, far away. By then, the supernova were long gone happily ever after. Why didn't they gang up and fight Garp? Because it's friggin' Garp.

I'd like to thank y'all for reading this far. Thank you.
