Welcome to Chapter Ten aka Little Garden! Someone had complained, not really but I can't think of a different word, about my ability to write fight scenes, and I covered this in either a recent chapter of Donquixote Prince or To Save A Brother's Life but, I suck at fight scenes in general. So, really, don't be expecting great fight scenes, I mean I can try really hard to make them but that just makes it more difficult for me to finish a chapter. Anyways, we are two chapters away from Ace where I think some fluff comes in. I unno really. But, anyways Donquixote Prince and TSABL need more chapters for their chapter stock. So, I'll be working on that hopefully this week and next week and the week after. Giving Humanity a Chance won't be getting any chapters for its chapter stock for at least a month or two. This is so I can roll out DOT and get it comfortable with an update day on a Friday with TSABL which will be called ASL Friday. Now, if you're curious as to why DP isn't considered ASL to be honest is because the premise isn't ASL but rather Papa Doffy. Anyways onwards we go!

Death's Gift to His Master

Vivi's insertion into the lives of the Straw Hats was rather smooth to be completely honest. Everyone on the crew rather liked her instantly and it didn't help that Sanji swooned over her as well. Of course, because she was being considered part of the crew she was also thrown into the training sessions with everyone. At first she complained, not because she didn't like training, but rather because Luffy's methods were rather extreme. But that came from the fact that said training came from someone like Garp. After a while though, Vivi started to enjoy the training. She said that it helped distract her from the stress of the rebellion. It also helped that Luffy had demanded that she get a new weapon and she absolutely loved it. The weapon he had personally picked for her were a pair of chakrams that Luffy had enchanted to return to her no matter what. They took the whole day to learn but it was worth it in her mind. A few days later though Nami had a question for Vivi.

"What exactly did Igaram mean by regular route that'd take only four days?" She asked.

"Oh, I think Igaram had forgotten that not all Log Poses point to the same path usually. The islands around Alabasta tend to rotate and I guess this time around it's Little Garden." Vivi said.

"Ah, you don't seem worried though." Nami said.

"Well, I am but I understand worrying isn't going to get us there faster." Vivi said.

"That's a mature lookout on things." Nami said.

"Well, going undercover forced me to mature I guess. As a mercenary, you have to kill your targets or Mr. 0 would get mad. So I just soldiered through it." Vivi said.

"I guess I understand. I was the same way when I was part of Arlong's Crew." Nami said, causing Vivi to raise an eyebrow.

"So you weren't part of Luffy's crew to begin with?" Vivi asked.

"Nope, in fact I only happened by him by accident. I was stealing a map from a pirate when he found me and ended up saving me later from Arlong who held my village hostage. Nami said.

"Wow, he must be a great guy, able to accept all kinds of people." Vivi said, remembering the few Fishmen she saw.

"Yup, he's great. Though sometimes it feels as if he's holding the world on his shoulders even though there's no reason he should. Well, he said he'd tell us later in the Grand Line." Nami mused.

"Tell you what?" Vivi asked.

"Ah, nothing much just some secrets he's been keeping. He promised to tell us later." Nami said.

They decided then to just lay on the grass the rest of the day.

About two days later they managed to finally reach Little Garden. However, seeing it was a complete shock for the place wasn't little at all. Little Garden was actually rather large as it had giant trees, dinosaurs, and what seemed to be two giant sea king skulls. With a sigh Nami began directing the ship into the river leading into the island so they could at least not be out in the open while they wait for the Log Pose to reset. When they got to a safe position Luffy got an idea.

"Hey we should explore!" Luffy said, Vivi nodding.

"Yeah I wonder what we can find around here. I mean this island's been preserved in prehistoric time." Vivi said.

"Well, I think I want to hunt some of the dinosaurs here." Zoro said, sparking Sanji's attention.

"How about you me have a competition marimo. Let's see who can get the most dinosaur meat." Sanji said, egging Zoro on.

"You're on shitty cook!" Zoro roared.

"So uh, who's going with who, and don't forget that we need people to stay on the ships." Carmen said.

"Well, I'm staying on the ship this time, I want to relax rather than end up in a fight again." Nami said.

"Me and Gin-bro need to run our people through a few drills so we'll stay as well." Alvida said.

"I guess I'll head with Vivi and big brother, I really want to look for some plants here to experiment with." Kaya said.

"I'll go with Zoro and Sanji to make sure they don't get lost, or kill each other." Carmen said, heading in to change her outfit into something more forest worthy.

"I'll stay on deck with Nami, I have some things that I'm working on for my guns and I want to get them done before we reach Alabasta." Usopp said.

"Alright then, let's split up." Luffy said, taking Vivi and Kaya in one direction while Sanji, Zoro, and Carmen went in another.

Luffy's group's journey into the forest started out as interesting for all three of them. Despite Kaya being the only one wanting to look for plants they all decided to help. Vivi because she wanted to assist Kaya and Luffy because he was interested in what each plant could do as well. It was when Luffy heard three voices arguing that he turned around and looked down.

"Are you fucking kidding me." Luffy swore, getting the other two's attention.

Sitting on the floor was a three-headed orange snake about six feet long. Kaya and Vivi were staring at it in fear, having never seen the type of snake before. That quickly passed as they heard Luffy muttering to himself.

"Of course you are still a Parselmouth. Why wouldn't you be one!" He muttered to himself.

Luffy then sank to his knees, causing the two to freak out that is until Luffy started hissing at the snake.

"Hey there, why are you three arguing?" Luffy hissed, scaring the living daylights out of the snake.

"A speaker?!" "But we haven't seen one in a year!" "Not at all!" The three heads hissed.

"You've seen a speaker before?" Luffy asked.

The heads looked at each other before seemingly selecting one head as a speaker, which so happened to be the middle one.

"Yes Speaker-sir. These three human ladies visit us every so often. Although we're not entirely sure that two of them are human." The snake hissed.

"What makes you think that?" Luffy asked, causing the one on the left to speak up.

"Well, they can turn into snakes. One of them turned into an Anaconda and the other turned into a King Cobra. The third one well, she just seemed to turn random animals into stone and talk about how beautiful she was." The snake said.

That… was interesting. He'd never heard of these three woman before although he was pretty sure that the women were devil fruit users. He'd keep an eye out for the women.

"They're humans of course. There're these things called Devil Fruits, which are weird looking fruits that grant humans special powers." Luffy said.

"Strange looking fruit? We think we know what you're talking about." The runespoor said before slithering away.

"Luffy.. why can you talk to snakes and what was that?" Kaya asked.

"Shishishi, ah it's part of my abilities? I honestly didn't expect to have it, as you can clearly tell. As for what that was, that was a runespoor, a magical animal with sentience." Luffy said.

"Magical animal?" Kaya asked, suddenly interested.

"Yeah, each head of a runespoor fulfills a purpose. The left head is the planner and decides what it's to do next, the middle is the dreamer where it thinks of things it can do, and the right is the critic who judges what the other two do to make sure they stay alive. Sadly though, most runespoors don't live long because the middle and left heads usually kill the right out of irritation. Though that one seems to be rather old." Luffy mused.

Suddenly though the Snake came out with something wrapped in its tail that caused the three to gasp. In its tail was a weird blue looking fruit that had yellow dragons wrapped around the fruit and seemed to be glowing red.

"T-that's a Devil Fruit!" Kaya shouted, having remembered seeing Sanji's fruit Luffy had given him.

"It's not just any Devil Fruit…. It's a Mythical Zoan fruit." Luffy said.

"How can you tell that?" Vivi asked.

"Well, for one the dragons that wrap around the fruit. Mythical Zoan fruits are generally rather obvious in what power they give you. Also, it's glowing. Only Mythical Zoan fruits glow." Luffy said.

He then gently grabbed the fruit from the snake and smiled at it.

"Thank you for the fruit. What's your name?" Luffy asked.

"Ah, we don't have individual names if that's what you're asking. But we were named Tiger by the three women." The left head said.

"Alright then Tiger, I'll promise to visit again one day and maybe bring those women." Luffy said.

"That'd be great. It was nice seeing you Speaker. Keep an eye out for the two giants." The snake said as it slithered away.

"… It just told me to keep an eye out for two giants." Luffy said.

Quickly after that the trees parted to reveal, lo and behold, a giant.

"Ooh I thought I heard voices. My name's Dorry." The giant said with a smile.

"Uh, nice to meet you Dorry." Luffy, Kaya and Vivi said together.

"For a second thought though that it was those three sisters. They usually visit here very year to visit the snakes here." Dorry said.

"Ah no that hissing was me." Luffy said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh, that's cool! You can speak to snakes like them. Come, you must join me back at my camp." Dorry said.

Soon enough they reached Dorry's camp where he was roasting a giant piece of dinosaur meat.

"So Dorry, who are the three women who visit here?" Luffy asked.

"Well, I never caught their name as they're not that found of men but they were civil while they were here. All I really know is that their ship is pulled by a pair of sea kings." Dorry said.

"Oh well… So what are you doing here on this island?" Luffy asked, unaware that currently Nami and Usopp were having this conversation with a different giant.

"Well, I'm a warrior from Elbaf and have been fighting my rival for the past hundred years." Dorry said.

"Hundred years! That's a long time." Vivi said.

"To humans maybe but we giants live for three hundred years so it's not that long to us. As of yet I have to win, we've tied in every single battle." Dorry said.

Suddenly the volcano on the island exploded, causing Dorry to get up.

"Well, it's time for our fight!" Dorry said, heading north, the straw hats following.

When they reached their destination they saw Nami and Usopp sitting over by another giant who was just standing up.

"Usopp? Nami? What are you guys doing here?" Kaya asked.

"Uh, well this giant, his name is Broggy by the way, found us and invited us to his place. He talked about how he was a warrior from Elbaf and was currently in a hundred year battle with his rival." Nami said.

"Yeah! He's inspired me to be even better at my skills!" Usopp said.

Soon after that the two giants picked up their weapons and swung them at each other. What they did not seem to expect was the sudden explosion coming from both of the weapons, throwing the giants back and leaving the weapons in brittle condition. Laughing and walking out of the forest were four people. Luffy and Nami recognized two of them as Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. The other two Vivi recognized.

"Mr. 3, Miss Golden Week. I see you've come." Vivi said.

"Ah, Miss Wednesday or should I say Princess Vivi. It's nice to see you. We're just here to collect the bounties on all your heads." Mr. 3 said with a laugh.

He however sweatdropped when he saw what Miss Golden Week was doing. She was currently sitting on a picnic blanket drinking tea.

"Why aren't you joining us?!" He asked, exasperated.

"Because, they're not weak willed. My skills won't work on them." She said lazily.

Luffy walked over to the girl and sat down next to her.

"What kinds of tea do you have?" Luffy asked, making everyone but his crew faceplant and Miss Goldenweek look as if it was her birthday.

"Well, I have Earl Gray, some Green tea, and this Black tea." She said, gesturing to her various boxes of tea.

"Hmm, have you ever had Oolong tea?" Luffy asked, pulling a box out of the pouch that he always wore, well actually that each Commander had.

Miss Goldenweek's eyes shone as if there were stars in her eyes as she gladly accepted the box and began making the tea. Mr. 5 however got mad and tried to attack her and Luffy by flicking a booger at them, causing her to sigh.

"Light-Blue is the color of protection." She said as a shield shimmered into place, protecting them from the explosion.

When the smoke cleared it was revealed that the picnic area was surrounded by a light blue circle.

"That's real neat. How do you do that?" Luffy asked.

"I'm a realist painter. Somehow the colors I paint can influence the environment or what people do." She said, finally finishing the tea and serving it.

"Ah, that's very nice… You're good at making tea." Luffy commented, sipping the tea and sighing in satisfaction.

Luffy when he acquired Harry's memories ended up acquiring the British man's love for tea. So with him being here and having tea that seemed to be made by someone who knew just how to make it was heaven.

"Um, curious. Why aren't you helping your friends. Better yet, why aren't my, not sure if I can call them that, friends attacking." She said.

"Well, to the first one it's because I know my friends can handle themselves on their own, I believe in them. As for the second, well maybe your friends are having a brain fart." Luffy said, causing the little girl to giggle.

That actually prompted the three remaining Baroque Works agents to attack the others since they clearly couldn't attack Luffy or Miss Goldenweek. Mr. 3 seemed to create a giant spinning candle on top of the giant, Broggy, with Usopp, Nami, and Vivi on it.

"Your orange haired friend doesn't seem amused." Miss Golden Week said.

"That's cause Mr. 3 clearly hasn't read Nami's wanted posted. Ah, question does the barrier stop rain?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, it should, why?" She asked.

Luffy pointed up and Miss Goldenweek looked in awe as a raincloud was rapidly forming. Suddenly it started to downpour and just as the girl said the barrier popped into place when the rain started getting close to the two. Mr. 3 seemed to be panicking as the rain caused the candles to fizzle out and become soggy and start falling apart, freeing the three.

"Seriously! Does anyone read the Wanted Posters nowadays?!" Nami yelled before running up to Mr. 3 and slamming her bo-staff on his head, knocking him out.

She however had to quickly jump back before Mr. 5 could cause an explosion by touching her. Elsewhere Miss Valentine was trying to attack Usopp by sitting on him. He however quickly whipped out his shotgun.

"You would shoot a woman?" Miss Valentine asked, shocked.

"Who said this would kill you?" Usopp said, closing his eyes and firing off his new pepper spray bomb.

He felt the liquid hit his face and Miss Valentine's screams and quickly rolled away then wiped the spray off his face with a cloth.

"AH! My eyes! What did you do to my eyes!" She screamed.

"It's my brand new pepper spray bomb! Guaranteed to keep perverts and women trying to kill you away from you!" Usopp said, as if he was showing off a brand new product.

Luffy heard Kaya giggling right by them and saw that she was having tea as well with them.

"… When did you get here?" Luffy asked.

"She got here after Mr. 5 got angry." Miss Goldenweek said.

"Ah. Well it looks like there's one left." Luffy mused.

Said person left, aka Mr. 5, was throwing explosive boogers at Nami and Usopp who were dodging them left and right. Usopp was also shooting explosives at the man but it wasn't working for obvious reasons.

"You think explosions are going to hurt me? I'm immune to them thanks to my Devil Fruit!" The man yelled, in clear arrogance.

"Yeah, well take this! Explosive Starshot!" Usopp yelled, shooting his shotgun at Mr. 5, a projectile flying at the man who promptly ate the object.

"… By the way I lied, that was my Tabasco Hellshot." Usopp said with a smile.

Instantly the man began screaming in pain as his insides began to burn from the intense heat of the hot sauce. He ended up slamming his head into a tree and knocking himself out. Usopp and Nami suddenly heard clapping and turned to the source. They saw Kaya, Miss Goldenweek, and Luffy all clapping for them, causing them to blush.

"See, told you I had faith in them." Luffy said,

"Hmm, you were right! By the way what are you going to do with me?" The girl asked, starting to pack up the tea cups and pot.

"Ah~ Can we keep her big brother?" Kaya squealed.

"I.. uh guess? Actually that'd be perfect. We do need an artist for the ship. No offence Usopp but your skills only work for jolly rogers." Luffy said.

"Eh, it's true." Usopp said.

"Wait, you're inviting me to join your crew?" She asked confused.

"We're inviting you to join our family. Our crew is one big family after all." Luffy said.

"But what about my name? I don't even know what my old name was, I've been in Baroque Works for that long. I mean I've liked the name Goldenweek…" The girl said.

"Ah… hm.. How about this! I dub you Miss Goldie N Week. First name Goldie, second name Week. That way you get to keep the name." Luffy said with a smile.

The girl's eyes brightened up again and she hugged Luffy.

"So.. does that mean I call you Big Brother?" She asked.

"Well, if you want. You'll be a leader of your own group, a group of artists, so any of the crew members not a Vice-Commander or Commander will call you big sis." Luffy said.

"Wait! I can teach people my art? Does that mean I can teach them how I fight?" She asked, really interested.

"If you want, why?" He asked.

"Because! I've always wanted more people who could do what I do. I mean I do think it's doable." She said with a smile.

"Alright then, I also might have a gift for you when we get back to the ship." He said, smiling when he saw her eyes light up again.

Suddenly though Carmen, Sanji, and Zoro came tumbling through the trees with Zoro dragging a giant sled box filled to the brim with dinosaur meat. Sanji also seemed to have something in his hands.

"Ah, so we had an eventful evening what about you. Oh. I see you've fought some Baroque Works agents and met giants?" Carmen asked.

"Ah, yes on both parts." Luffy said.

"Hey, hey! Meet your new sister, the Commander of the Artist Division, Miss Goldie N. Week." Kaya said cheerfully.

Goldie was very bashful when they all greeted her with smiles and hugs, blushing the entire time.

"So uh what happened to you guys?" Usopp asked.

"Well, first these two idiots went rampaging through the entire forest, killing every dinosaur they could find without any regards to how they'd carry it all." Carmen huffed, glaring at the two who gave sheepish laughs and winces.

"So I beat them up and forced them to think of an idea. Hence the sled box. Then Sanji manages to find a weird wax house in the middle of nowhere with a Den Den Mushi in it. You wouldn't believe who called." Carmen said.

"Mr. 0?" Goldie asked, shocking Carmen.

"Yes, ho- oh wait you were probably the one supposed to receive the call. Well, anyways Sanji answers it and it turns out that Crocodile is calling back all the agents to Alabasta for the final stages of the plan. He then asks if we've been killed and Sanji answers yes, having been impersonating Mr. 3 here during the whole conversation." Carmen said.

"Nice on the spot thinking Sanji." Nami said, instantly regretting it the next second.

"Thank you my lovely Nami-swan!" He shouted.

"Anyways. Crocodile tells him that the Unluckies were on the way to deliver an Eternal Log Pose to Alabasta. Lo and behold they arrive and we beat them up and get the Log Pose." Carmen said, having Sanji presenting the Log Pose with the word 'Alabasta' written on it.

"That's great! We can actually get there a bit faster now as there would be two more islands after this." Vivi said.

Suddenly they heard a booming voice that turned out to be coming from one of the giants, Dorry Luffy remembered.

"It's a good thing you found that then." Dorry said, prompting the other giant to respond, seeing as both of them were up now.

"Yeah, it takes a year for the normal Log Pose to reset on this island. This way you can get to that place and it'll reset there much faster." Broggy said.

"That's great!" Nami cheered.

The two giants thanked them for saving them and as thanks they killed the giant goldfish that would have ate them when they attempted to leave, using the last bit of strength their weapons had. The giants then waved goodbye to them as they set off.

The Commanders were all in the meeting room, wondering what this meeting was for, having already met their new sister. Luffy however walked forward and put down the Devil Fruit Box. When he opened it, they saw that there were two in there, Kaya and Vivi (who was sitting in on the meeting) explained how Luffy got the second. The crew members were shocked but not afraid. Luffy however pulled out the Nuru Nuru no Mi and gave it to Goldie.

"Here you go Goldie! A fruit perfect for you, the Nuru Nuru no Mi or the Paint Fruit. It's a Logia-type fruit that allows you to turn into and control paint." Luffy said.

Goldie instantly grabbed it with stars in her eyes and willingly ate it, showing how much she trusted Luffy. She grimaced at the taste before speaking.

"I don't feel any-" She started before she collapsed.

Everyone started panicking but Kaya, the doctor of the ship, quickly ran over to her and began examining her.

"She's running a fever, was she already a devil fruit user?" Kaya said.

"No it can't be that, the result of a person eating two devil fruits is much more violent. She'd be in minutes from burning inside out rather than running a fever." Luffy said.

"I'll have to research her condition." Kaya quickly said to herself.

The next day Kaya had found out what it was. Goldie was infected with a deadly disease that had been extinct for a long time. Kaya had no clue how to cure it so she gave a doctor's order, they had to find another doctor.

Oooookay! We get a new member and you understand why the Paint fruit was there. Seriously, some of you were so confused as to what use a Paint Logia could even do that it concerned me that you forgot about Miss Goldenweek. Also, I named her Goldie N. Week because I didn't really want to give her an OC name so I just used what I had. Next, it is not unbelievable that there'd be a Devil Fruit on the island where nobody has been known to escape. The fruit is going to be the last fruit Luffy's going to be obtaining for a long time, at least until Marineford, I think. Don't quote me on that. Anyways, next chapter is Drum Island which covers information on a Devil Fruit :D Won't say which but it does nevertheless. If you guys read TSABL then you know which one. As usual give suggestions and stuff!
