Chapter Ten

Anne was fast asleep when they arrived to the Little Garden. She yawned waking up and looked around. She saw Nami and Usopp freaking out. Walking over she looked at them. "What's going on?"

Nami smiled "Oh thank god! ANNE YOU'RE STILL HERE!" she shouted hugging the older girl with tears in her eyes.

Anne looked at her then too Usopp, "Umm what's going on? And where is everyone?"

"Well Luffy and Vivi went to explore. And then Sanji and Zoro went to go hunt for food."

At that moment a huge dinosaur appeared out of the woods Usopp and Nami screamed. And Anne jumped up and pointed her finger at it freezing it. She smirked looking back at them. "Well, I plan to go explore." She said and took off into the forest leaving Nami and Usopp alone both looking freaked out on the deck. Though Anne did not see this.

Anne smiled as she walked threw the woods. She wondered where everyone was. She smiled looking up at the sky. She kept walking and soon saw a herd of Long neck dinosaurs. She smiled looking up at them "Wow, now that is a site you don't see every day." She smiled only to soon frown. Since the dinosaurs who had to deal with Luffy early on started to attack her. She groaned jumping out of the way, and in her hand made a spear of Ice. She threw it at the Dinosaur. And as it flew towards the longneck it grew and sliced the neck off having the dinosaur fall down dead. She smirked to herself and walked over.

A memory of Sanji complaining they were running low on food. She shrugged her shoulder, and started to drag the bit back to the ship. She had every place she stepped turning to Ice to make dragging it easier. She smiled soon getting back to the ship, "Hey Nami, Usopp, I think Sanji will be happy with the amount of food I got." She said smiling. She didn't hear anyone respond and jumped on the ship. Looking around Anne soon noticed that there was no one on the ship.

She groaned and jumped off the ship and went to go and find the others. 'I wonder what happen to them.' She looked around and saw there was no struggle or anything. She sighed and jumped down. Cutting some of the meat off the long neck, she took it to the kitchen to cook it.

(Scene Break)

Anne smiled once she had her meat cooked she quickly ate it. She noticed that Nami and Usopp had not returned, 'I guess I should go find them.' She thought and headed off.

Anne yawned while walking. She was munching on a meat sandwich she made for herself. She soon fell over falling asleep.

(Scene Break)

Sanji was dragging the second beast back to the ship when he noticed Anne up ahead on the ground. He ran over to her and shook her. "Hey Anne." 'Please say she is ok.' He thought worried over her. Only to soon notice that she was fine. She was just asleep. Sanji smiled and sat there with her. He laid her head down on her lap. He remembered Luffy saying his older sister and brother both fall asleep all the time. He smiled and looked at the sky, "I wonder how the others are at the moment." What he did not know that Luffy, Usopp and Carue were fighting to save the others' lives.

Anne yawned, while sitting up and looking around she noticed Sanji sitting next to her. She stretched "hey Sanji."

Sanji smiled "Hello Anne."

Anne smiled and stood up, "So what were you doing?"

"I was heading back to the ship." He said smiling. "Now what were you doing?"

She smiled "Looking for Nami and Usopp when I went back to the ship they weren't there. I was surprised they went into the jungle."

Sanji nodded and stood up. Went to go grab his animal he killed. They soon were heading off threw the jungle. Sanji smiled while walking with Anne. He kept swooning once and awhile for her. Anne would roll her eyes at how he acted. Sanji turned only to barley notice her wince.

"Anne, are you ok?"

Anne smiled and nodded "Yeah, some bug just bit me is all." She said smiling.

Sanji nodded "When we get back to the ship make sure you clean it up. I wouldn't want you to get sick."

She smiled walking with Sanji both of them were soon at the ship. He stopped dead in his tracks seeing the dead long neck. "Damn Zoro." He said looking around.

Anne looked to Sanji, "What about Zoro?"

"He beat me with the long neck."

Anne started to giggle. "Sanji I was the one who killed the long neck. Don't worry about it." She sat down.

Sanji jumped on the ship "I will be right back Anne."
Anne nodded she was bored only to see Sanji jump down with a rag and bottle. "Here you go, Anne." He said smiling.

Anne looked at it and smiled, "Sanji I am fine-"

"Anne, you need to take care of your self." She nodded and cleaned up where the bug bit her.

"Better Sanji."

Sanji smiled "Come on, lets find the others." He said lighting up a cigarette.

Anne walked with Sanji threw the jungle they only stopped when they saw a white hut. "Ok that is weird." She said and walked over and tapped it "Made of wax… Weird."

Sanji shrugged his shoulder and walked in. He smiled looking around and soon sat down seeing tea he smiled "Anne my dear there is some tea in here." He said and started to drink some tea.

Anne walked in and saw Sanji drinking tea. Which made her chuckle. "Really Sanji." She said and took the cup he offered her. He stood up and pulled out a chair for her. She was surprised that it was a cute little set up. She sat down in the chair.

Anne sat down and started to drink hers. They sat there only to hear a phone ring. Anne looked around and saw Sanji pull out a snail phone out of a basket.

Anne drank her tea and about snickered when Sanji said "Hello this is the crappy Restaurant, can I take your order."

She then heard a deep voice answer back, "Stop joking around Mr. Three. It is me, Mr. Zero." Anne's eyes widen. This was the one who was after them. "Now Mr. Three. I want to know why is it that I have not heard about the report."

"Report?"

"Mr. Three, did you kill the straw hats? And Princess Vivi?"

Sanji smirked "Yeah I killed them all, anyone who knew your secret is now dead." Anne smiled when hearing this. "So boss, we don't need to hunt any more."

"Is that so? Thank you I have ordered unlucky to see you. If you have accomplished the mission or not. And they shall bring you that thing."

"Thing?"

"The eternal post to Alabasta. You and Ms. Golden week shall go to Alabasta. It is time to accomplish our goal. I will send you more details after you've arrived at Alabasta."

Anne looked up and saw the Vulture and Otter, better known as the unlucky. She stood up and ran forward.

Sanji watched Anne grab the animal's necks with ease. She started to freeze them.

Mr. Zero was getting annoyed. "Mr. Three, what was that noise?"

"It was nothing boss. Just one of the straw hats, I broke their neck. So don't worry all are dead."

"Mr. Three, you lied to me. You said they were dead."

"I thought they were, but they are all 100% dead now."

The phone was quite for a moment. "Fine hurry back to Alabasta."

"Sure thing boss." Sanji hung up the phone and looked at Anne.

Anne smirked holding up the eternal post. "Look what I found." She said smirking "This will make life easier. Come on let's go and find the others." She said and looked up to see a tower of fire. It gave her a found smile making her think about Ace. "Come on; let's go, I bet Luffy is over there." She smiled and took off running through the jungle. She jumped out just in time to see Zoro save Usopp.

Anne smirked "That was cool." She walked over to her brother who was talking to the giants. "Hey Luffy." She looked around seeing Nami wince and talk to Vivi. She walked over to Zoro who was bleeding. "Hey Zoro, what did you do?"

Zoro told her what he did getting Anne to nod, "Yeah, I see why."

Nami's jaw dropped and looked up at the sky, "I swear can't we get someone normal to join." She groaned only to see Sanji coming into the clearing.

Anne smiled "Hey Zoro, you can lean on me for support."

Zoro glared at Anne "I am fine; I can walk by my self."

Anne rolled her eyes looking down at his still bleeding legs. "Fine then walk. Hey Luffy, look at what I found." She said holding up an eternal post to Alabasta. The crews' jaws dropped. Anne smiled, "Well, we ready to go?"

Luffy nodded, "time to set sail." He said cheering.

Anne smiled and walked with Vivi back to the ship, she was looking at her. "So what were you doing?"

Anne laughed "I kinda fell asleep early today and woke up to seeing everyone was gone but Nami and Usopp, went to explore came back to the ship. No one was there then I ran into Sanji, rest he told you." She said smiling down at the girl. Once they got back Zoro and Sanji were fighting over whose animal they killed was bigger.

Sanji turned to Vivi "Vivi, my dear, please tell Zoro that he lost."

Vivi smiled "Truth is who ever brought that bit back would have won."

Anne smiled down at them "I guess I win."

Nami glared down at the two of them "Sanji, Zoro, just get the meat, so we can take it, so we can leave."

"Yes Nami-swan" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes.

Anne and Vivi both snickered at how he acted. Anne looked to Zoro who's legs were still soaked with blood. "Hey Zoro, get up here and let me take care of your legs."

Zoro looked at Anne he was surprised, he did not think the sister of Luffy could take care of any wounds. He walked on ship and walked over seeing she already had some rubbing alcohol, things for stitches and some bandages. He sat down next to her. "So where did you learn this?" He said looking up.

Anne was putting down the bowel filled with warm water. "Do you have to ask?" She said looking at Luffy. "When we were little, let's say Luffy was always causing me and my brothers, trouble." She smiled at the memories.

She started to wash Zoro's legs, and then went to pour the rubbing alcohol on his ankles. "You're lucky; you didn't cut anything important Zoro."

(Scene Break)

Zoro nodded and tried not to wince in pain, "So what did you do when you left your home island?"

"Well my brother, Sabo went off on his own. And I traveled with my twin brother, Ace. He ended up joining Whitebeard's crew."

Zoro looked shocked for a bit hearing this.

"Pops is really nice; he let me stay even though I was never a member of the crew. While on the crew, I met many friends." Anne did not know was everyone was listening to her as she talked. Anne was working on stitching up Zoro's right leg. She just finished cleaning it, and had five stitches so far and many more needed.

"Did you meet any one?" Zoro did not know why he asked this of the older girl.

She smiled at him, "Yeah, I did, Marco. We were together for a couple years, but ended up breaking it off before I left. We are now just friends."

Zoro looked at her nodding, "So why did you leave your brother and the crew you traveled with for so long?" Zoro did not fully trust Anne yet.

"Luffy is the reason. When we were little, he made a challenge if he beat me I had to be his first mate. If I had one he leave me alone about joining. I lost and I keep my promises. Truth is I am enjoying this crew, and hey Pops said I could come back any time to visit." She said smiling. And finished his right ankle.

Anne started to work on his left ankle. "So anything else you want to know?"

"No not really." Zoro said seeing her quickly finishing the stitches. She stood up and heard Luffy yelling off orders. Anne took off running to get things done. She smiled thinking they soon be in Alabasta. Or so she and everyone thought.
