Chapter 21: The Last One And Done

Nami knew she could reach Vivi… The truth was Vivi was very strong. When she was just 14 she infiltrated a an evil organization with thousands of members ran by one of the 7 War Lords of the Sea (government sponsored pirates) where she was eventually promoted to "Miss Wednesday" one of the top female agents, of course she was discovered and ended up siding with the Straw Hats pirates who stopped them.

She did all for her kingdom… it was something she cherished most of all.

Of course she was telling the story to the Crystal Gems that didn't know this.

"Wow…" all Lapis could say.

"That's why I like fighting her." Said Amethyst, "If she became one of the top agents of something like that…"

"You have no idea." Said Robin, "For her to earn the title of Frontier Agent she had to have a lot of skill and for me not to realize it for years…"

"Wait… what?" asked Pearl.

Nami laughed nervously.

"Robin… was the right hand woman of Baroque Works and she's the one who outed Vivi…" said Nami.

"And don't worry about it…" said Robin, "She's forgiven me…"

"What?" asked Nami.

"At least it doesn't seem to part of the programing…" said Robin.

Meanwhile up in Space…

Both Danburite and Maxixe were working on building the new brainwashing program.

"Just to be clear since no one is around, you did not brainwashed Aquamarine to get along with Siberite, did you?" asked Danburite.

"For the last time no…" muttered Maxixe, "I completely forget they were enemies…"

"All right…" said Danburite.

Back in the Beach House…

"I really hope that's true." Said Steven.

"Don't worry, I doubt they'll act like Natsu and Gray." Said Mirajane.

"Or Sanji and Zoro." Added Nami.

"Or Sasuke and Naruto…" sighed Sakura.

"You men before Sasuke went crazy and abandoned the village." Said Tenten.

Sakura sighed when she said that.

"I'm sure it's fine…" said Hinata.

"It has been three years…" sighed Tenten, "Anything could have happened since then…"

"Maybe we should talk about something else." Said Mirajane trying to change the subject.

"Crying Breakfast friends is almost on!" said Steven.

"Crying Breakfast Friends?" asked Tenten.

"You have to watch it at least once." Said Nami.

"It's… interesting…" said Sakura.

"Okay then." Said Tenten with a shrug.

Meanwhile in the Stealth Ship, Vivi was training against Danburite's Guardian. Danburite had taken a break in programing to help Vivi train.

"That is enoguh." Said Danburite.

Vivi was wiping sweat off her brow.

"I'm the last one." Sighed Vivi.

"You are." Said Danburite .

"I won't fall to them." Said Vivi.

"Do you really think you can stand strong, your programing was weaker than we thought." Said Danburite.

Vivi was silent.

"To be frank, Maxixe underestimates humanity…" said Danburite, "She believes humans to be weak in every way…"

"What about you?" asked Vivi.

"I learned a lot about humanity from watching your original planet…" said Danburite, "That is why I learned not to under estimate them…"

"I see…" said Vivi.

"However… I hope that that I prove myself wrong…" said Danburite.

"What?" asked Vivi.

"You will learn eventually." Said Danburite as she walked out of the training room.

Vivi was confused.

Not only that but she got a confusing feeling, it felt bad but a part of her felt it was good…

Meanwhile at the Beach House Tenten was confused.

"What did I just watch?" she asked.

"A TV?" asked Steven.

"No… not the TV…" sighed Tenten, "Never mind…"

"She hasn't played kitchen calamity yet." Said Sakura.

"Are you hazing me?" asked Tenten.

"A little." Said Sakura with a shrug.

That was when the alarm on the forest Fairy started blaring.

"Does it do that a lot?" asked Tenten.

"Only if Maxixe's close…" said Steven.

"All right!" said Nami, "I need three people!"

"I'll go… I think I'd like to fight Amazonite!"

"I haven't gotten my chance to fight them yet." Said Erza.

"I'll be the third." Said Garnet adjusting her sunglasses.

"All right!" said Nami, "Time to reach Vivi!"

They got to the beach to find Vivi and the three appearing.

Tenten ran towards Amazonite.

"Hey!" called out Amazonite.

She took out a scroll from her Gem.

"Uh-oh…" said Amazonite.

Eudialyte saw that Erza was fighting her.

"Oh Red Beryl… good to see you…" said Eudialyte.

Erza immediately reequipped into her Wing Armor (used to be called Black Wing, but due to gem powers it was no longer black).

Eudialyte looked like she wanted opt cry as she summoned her tonfa.

Danburite on the other hand summoned more than Guardian this time.

"You are a Fusion…" said Danburite, "It is a better strategy to send more than one against you…"

Garnet started punching away the Guardians.

Vivi saw that she was left alone.

"Oh no…" said Vivi.

That was when Nami walked over to her.

"Hey Vivi… it's been a long time since we have has a good talk." Said Nami.

"What are you going to convince me something about Luffy?" asked Vivi.

"Of course not." sighed Nami, "You made your choice, and you choose your kingdom."

Vivi seemed to breath of a sigh of relief.

"I have question for you Vivi." Said Nami, "When you succeed in going back home… are you planning to put a Kindergarten there?"

Vivi suddenly paled.

"What?" asked Vivi.

Usually the other fights were just usual fights… however one of them this was a little different…

"I am a gem! A being that is scared of nothing… I am much stronger than a human…" Eudialyte assured herself.

However she was currently running away from Erza while saying this.

"I would make a remark about your cowardice but more than likely you would not get the reference." Said Danburite.

"Thanks your reassurance!" yelled Eudialyte sarcastically as she ran past Danburite.

However those watching on the deck, Robin heard this and laughed.

"What's so funny?" asked Pearl.

"I got her joke." Said Robin.

Everyone was confused by what she meant.

Back with Nami's "fight"

"I said are you going to put a Kindergarten there?" asked Nami.

Vivi was speechless.

"Of… of course not…. That would drain all life…" said Vivi.

"But you're your kingdom and the people there don't matter any more…" said Nami, "And due to the way the world is, there would be one put on Alabasta Sooner or Later… so now answer me this… will be sooner or later?"

"Neither!" said Vivi, "I refuse the put one there!"

"You know it's one of the bigger islands on the grand line…" said Nami.

"Stop…" said Vivi.

"You can't protect Alabasta if you're working for the gems!" yelled Nami.

"I will protect Alabasta no matter what!" yelled Vivi.

That was when her gem began to glow black, suddenly the black light came out of the gem and flew into the air and faded away.

Danburite nodded.

"Retreat now!" ordered Danburite.

"What do you think I've been doing!" yelled Eudialyte.

All three of them disappeared.

Looked at Vivi and misled.

"All right! You caught them!" yelled Steven.

"We're done with this!" sighed Nami.

That was when feet appeared from under Vivi.

"We should bring her to your room." Said Robin from the deck.

"You can create feet?" asked Amethyst.

"That's not the creepiest thing I've seen her sprout." Said Pearl.

"Really?" asked Amethyst.

"Eyes…" said Pearl.

"Yeah… that." Said Amethyst, "Still hadn't seen though…"

Sometime later Vivi woke up in Nami's room.

"Hey… you okay?" asked Nami.

"Yeah… I'm fine." Said Vivi, "Thank you…"

"No problem… I knew I had to remind you of your kingdom." said Nami, "But I only just recently came up with the Kindergarten accept…"

"Really?" asked Vivi.

Vivi noticed Robin was in the room.

"What you Maxixe's ship wasn't a result of brainwashing." Said Vivi.

"Good." Said Robin.

"I trust Luffy that much." Said Vivi, "And he's have his reasons for trusting you."

Robin smiled.

"Thank you." She said.

"So Franky…" said Vivi looking at the wanted poster.

"Shipwright." Said Nami.

Vivi laughed.

"I'll have to tell you about Brook later." Said Nami.

Nami knew that was going to be an awkward conversion.

That was when Robin got up and began to leave the room.

"I'm going to let you catch up." Said Robin.

"What?" asked Nami.

"After all to Vivi you two haven't really seen each other in months." Said Robin with a smirk.

Robin left the room.

"SO who were things in Alabasta…" said Nami.

"Very good." Said Vivi, "Pell's alive."

Nami blinked.

"How?" asked Nami.

"I don't know!" said Vivi, "And he doesn't know either."

Nami was shocked.

"That's the face everyone in the Palace had when he turned up alive." Said Vivi.

Pell is one of the bodyguards to the Nefertari Family, he once performed a heroic sacrifice where he lifted a bomb that would have destined a chink of the royal.

So yeah… the fact he lived confused everything.

Robin got to the sitting room.

"Are they okay?" asked Steven.

"Let them catch up. "said robin, "They haven't seen each other in months."

Back in Nami's room both Vivi and Nami were laughing hysterically.

Why?

Well Vivi was telling her that Alabasta now had a tunnel to another island which had a Hot Springs run by her friend's uncle. She told Nami that the other owner was some weird guy who fell from the sky one day named Gedatsu.

Nami remember that Chopper told the crew a story about on Skypiea he fought against a guy with the name who fell through the clouds and disappeared.

It was the same guy due to the fact on how well… stupid he was.

Plus there was the while Skypiea thing too.

Both of them stopped laughing.

"You had so many adventures." Said Vivi.

"Yeah." Said Nami.

"When you were taken… were you headed to Marineford?" asked Vivi.

"What?" asked Nami, "Luffy's not that crazy…"

Vivi was completely serious.

"I don't know happen… because it happened after I was taken… I really hope Luffy got there in time…" said Vivi.

"What are you talking about?" asked Nami.

"They captured Ace." Said Vivi, "I don't what happened… but I really hope that Ace was saved…"

Nami sighed.

Ace was Luffy's brother and infamous pirate in his own right.

"We were seprated by a Devil Fruit user. "said Nami, "I don't know what happened with Luffy after that… I'm sorry…"

"It's okay. "said Vivi.

She hugged Nami. Both of them hoping that both of them were all right.

"I guess I can tell you more stories another time." Said Nami.

Vivi nodded.

"It's time to introduce you to the others." said Nami.

"wait." Said Vivi.

"What?" asked Nami.

"Why didn't you go back…" said Vivi.

Nami sighed.

"The same reason why you were able to break out of their control." Said Nami, "To protect my home island…"

"They threatened it, didn't they?" asked Vivi.

Nami nodded.

"It's okay. "said Vivi.

She held Nami's hand.

"Let's go meet the others." Said Vivi.

Nami nodded.

And so they left to go meet the others.

Meanwhile in the Gem Stealth Ship. Maxixe called a meeting.

"So how did she fall." Said Maxixe.

"Citrine pointed out that there is a very good chance we would place a Kindergarten on her home island." Said Danburite.

"Wait… if it that easy… why was she last?" asked Amazonite.

"I'm going to guess bad timing." Said Maxixe with a shrug.

"So what's the plan now?" asked Eudialyte.

"We're still working on the new programing, but it will take a while." Said Maxixe, "However I'm not abandoning Earth anytime soon."

The three nodded, unaware of hat the plan was until they were ready to once again reprogram them.

Hopefully for the Crystal and Conversion Gems it wouldn't be that bad… but who knows in the future…

Next Time: Steven wants to celebrate the fact they managed to reach all of them, but they don't think it's a good idea... after all they don't know if Maxixe is still going after them or not... meanwhile Eudialyte and Amazonite must come up with a plan to show them just that... what is it? find out next time!
