To the Kingdom of Sand

Dalton And Kureha sat on the top of the highest rocky mountain looking for any sign of Luffy's ship in the distance. Dalton then said, "I suppose that they're out of here by now." Kureha nodded her head, but Dalton added, "To think that the reindeer have been protecting the greatest doctor's will till this very day. The dream of growing Sakura on this island."

The woman smiled at him, "Well, you know what they say nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it." The woman looked into the distance, "Just like how Chopper will become a great pirate one day. I can't wait to see him return with all the knowledge that he's going to gain in this huge world."

The two then began to talk a little about the new regulations on the island after Wapol's defeat, but a man came up running to him, "Sir, I remembered that I have to tell you something very important." He then handed Dalton a bounty poster with Luffy's face on it. The devil fruit user was shocked at the huge amount that was put on Luffy's head, while Kureha only laughed.

The man then said, "But something odd happened a while back. A man came by looking for the black-beard pirates. When we told him that they left the island, he asked us to send a message to a straw hat-wearing boy named Luffy. He also said that his name was Ace and that he was waiting for them in Alabasata for 10 days."

The man only smiled saying, "Well, there's no need to worry because I heard that they're going there next." He then began to wonder what the princess he once saw when she was still a little child doing with a bunch of pirates, but Kureha talking knocked him out of his thoughts.

The woman asked him, "Did you ever heard of Gold D Rogers, the proclaimed king of pirates?"

The man nodded his head as the woman said, "Chopper choose a very dangerous man to follow." She then asked no one in particular, "D's will is still alive? I wonder what will happen from here on forward. It's going to be a hell of a blast."

Back in the crew's ship, everyone was having the party of a lifetime welcoming Chopper into the crew as Luffy danced around with chopsticks in his nose while Robin was giggling at her boyfriend's antics. The girl was also cuddling Chopper like a small baby that she decided to protect from the world.

Nami then came and began to scold the crew and asked, "Why the hell is Vivi's duck frozen halfway through? The poor thing was floating like a solid piece of ice in the lake when we found him."

Zoro then said dismissively, "The duck must have fallen into the river by accident."

Chopper after freeing himself from Robin's grip said, "Well, he's saying that he saw Zoro jump into the river. He didn't come back up for a while so he thought something must have happened to him. He followed him only to be frozen solid instead." Nami didn't waste a second after that smacking Zero upside the head as she scolded the man.

Robin clapped her hands, "You're so cool, Chopper." The reindeer looked at her, "You can talk to animals such as yourself, right? That makes you an important part of the crew."

The reindeer blushed and began to do his little dance routine as Sanji walked by, "I still think he should be our emergency food supply should the worse ever happen." This caused a phantom hand to sprout upside his head and smack him.

Sanji looked at Robin who shook her head causing him to say, "I was kidding… HAHAHA…." He then remembered something, "Shouldn't we tell Chopper about our dear captain's condition with his devil fruit? I mean he is the doctor after all." Sanji was then pounced on by Luffy.

Chopper then said, "What condition are you sick? Do you need medication?"

Robin then said, "Perhaps tomorrow, because everyone is in such a happy mode right now." The reindeer looked at her and she added, "But the gist of the thing is that Luffy's devil fruit makes him burn food and nutrients much faster than other people do. We'll tell you the rest tomorrow."

The reindeer although skeptical nodded his head in approval. He then joined Luffy in the chopstick dance with Nami yelling at them to stop this instant. Robin looked at Luffy and had a sudden thought enter her head causing her to blush and shake her head.

The following day in Alabasta, a small port town was being attacked by a bunch of pirates. The people looked to the sky and saw someone coming to them. One of them yelled, "Crocodile-sama has finally come to our aid." The man quickly made quick work of the pirates as the people cheered him on. The man collected all of the pirates' weapons and headed off to his hideout, but encountered something peculiar on his way back or rather someone.

Back in the castle of Vivi's father, the man sighed in relief, "I'm in his debt for keeping my country safe from all sorts of dangers."

Back with Luffy, the boy was eating his allowed share of food. Sanji meanwhile was having an investigation with the trio of Usopp, Vivi's duck, and Chopper about the food that went missing. It ended as quickly as it began with all three of them moaning in pain after Sanji gave them a piece to his mind to chew on.

Sanji and Luffy both heard Nami say, "Hero?" the girl then asked, "How come they think that this Crocodile fellow is a hero in your country? And what are the 7 warlords by the way?"

Sanji looked at Luffy and said, "Don't you know about this stuff?" he then vaguely remembered Luffy explaining back when they were going to save Nami, "Yeah, you said you know something about the 7 warlords of the sea."

Luffy shrugged his shoulders, "Well, all I know is that they're some kind of legal pirates by the government. Nothing more, nothing less."

Nami then added, "The fact that you know that and I don't, baffles me."

The boy slumped forward with Robin patting his back while glaring at Nami.

Vivi nodded her head, "Well, that's the main idea, but there's more to it than that." The girl began her explanation, "You see the warlords are like what Luffy said legal, so they are given special permission to crush other pirates just like the marines. And this is what happened in my country." Vivi added, "Crocodile came and began defeating pirates left and right. The people didn't care that he was a pirate in the first place since he was protecting them."

Robin nodded his head, "And then he used his disguise as the savior of Alabasta as a way to gain control smoothly without raising any suspicions about himself."

Nami then said, "And since the people support him, no one can do anything against him." She rubbed her forehead, "And if they did, they'd be seen as attacking the country's hero."

Luffy then grinned a little, "Then we go and kick his ass." He then punched the air, "Watch Crocodile. I'm coming to send you to hellish oblivion."

Vivi smiled at his enthusiasm, "Yeah, we'll do that after we stop the rebellion. I don't want any blood to be shed." Everyone in the crew looked at her weirdly but kept their thoughts to themselves regarding this kind of unrealistic thinking. The girl then added, "If we can drive Baroque Works and all of its accomplices out of my country, everything will be fine again."

Zoro who was sleeping woke to the organization name as Usopp asked, "Can explain more to us how this 'Baroque Works' organization operates in the first place? We need to have an idea about how it works."

Vivi nodded her head, "You see the system is simple. The organization begins at the top with Mr.0 also known as Crocodile and after him, there are the 13 agents who take orders from him directly. There are made from 12 pairs of people and 1 animal pair which are Mr.13 and Miss Friday that Robin took care of back on Whiskey Peak..."

Sanji cut her off saying, "So that's why I found otter and vulture meat the day that we left Whiskey Peak." He then remembered the sandwiches he made that day, "Man, they were some of the best meals I made in my entire life."

Vivi paled a little and chose to ignore Robin's giggling and the possibility that she might have eaten someone she worked with at someone. The girl carried on, "Each of the 12 pairs is made up of 1 man with the Mr. followed by a number accompanied by a female with the Ms. followed by a day. The animal pair was mostly to punish the agents for failing."

Vivi then added, "The 12 pairs are further divided into 2 categories; the upper 5 agents which are known as the 'officer agents' who are usually given 200 men named billions are pretty much cannon fodder for them. Most of them have devil fruit powers and don't act unless told to or it's important. the rest of the agents are called 'Frontier Agents' which are usually given 1800 men named 'Millions'. Their job is mostly focused on gathering money and funds for the organization."

Luffy then said, "Man, I can't wait to kick his ass. I understand what you're saying, Vivi."

The blond god swore, "I can tell by just looking at you that you didn't understand anything."

Robin put a hand on her chin, "Wait if you Baroque Work is trying to take over Alabasta, then doesn't that mean…" everyone looked at her, "…we have to eventually fight Crocodile and his men." Usopp's mouth flew open, Nami sweated a little, while the monstrous trio didn't care much.

Luffy then said, "Well, we're going to fight them anyway, so let's just get ready." He then looked at Usopp and yelled, "Usopp, let's go fishing together." The rubber boy dragged Usopp by his nose to the side of the ship and grabbed a fishing rod to begin fishing.

The two sat together, but Usopp noticed that Luffy's hand had been moving every couple of seconds. He looked and saw the boy eating something so he asked him, "What are you eating, Luffy?" the boy didn't answer and remained silent.

Usopp dared himself to look at the bucket of bait. Once he looked at it, he yelled, "Luffy, you idiot. You eat all of our bait." She slapped the boy upside the head, "How are we going to fish now?"

The boy replied, "I didn't eat all of the bait though, only the ones on the top." Usopp only facepalmed from annoyance. "We need some bait now, so what are you going to do?" Usopp asked him making Luffy think about his next move.

The rubber boy then turned and saw his way out of this. He then grabbed Karo, "Now, we have bait." Usopp looked at the terrified duck and nodded his head. They both tied the duck and put it over the side of the ship waiting for the next fish to come and take a bait out of it.

Vivi came to them, "Hey guys, did you see Karo anywhere? I haven't seen him in…" She looked only to see her duck hanging over the side of the ship, "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING TO KARO?"

The girl quickly smacked them over the head causing both boys to moan in pain.

The girl looked into the distance and saw something that made her worried. In front of them, there was an entire sea of smoke that was emanating from the sea. Luffy and Usopp looked at the smoke with different ideas in their heads with Luffy wondering if it was cotton candy.

Vivi then headed to the kitchen where Nami was reading a book with Robin, "Nami, there's something up on the horizon." The orange-haired girl didn't seem too bothered by the development saying, "Don't worry about it. It must be some steam from underground volcanoes."

Chopper looked at her with curiosity in her eyes, "There are underwater volcanoes?"

Robin nodded her head, "Yes, they are more volcanoes underwater than above water."

The reindeer then nodded his head.

Luffy was disappointed with the development. He wanted to eat some cotton candy.

Robin looked at Chopper and said, "These volcanoes signify that in a few thousand years. There will be a new island." The reindeer smiled at the woman who hugged him.

Luffy frowned, "Man, I'd be dead by then. I wanted to see those islands."

Usopp sweat-dropped a little, "What do you want to do on this island? Wrestle with some beasts."

Luffy smiled, "Yeah, that would be awesome. I used to do this all the time back on my island." He then looked at Robin, "Do you remember the good times back on Dawn Island?"

The girl then giggled, "Yes taking down those monstrous beasts was always exciting." Everyone looked at her. They could never imagine the soft-spoken girl able to take down beasts. "We sure had fun with Ace hunting down those monsters."

The crew then entered the smoke. It was a couple of moments before they reemerged from the smoke. They were all shocked when they heard Karo quacking in fear. They looked and saw a painted man hanging onto Karo. He looked at them, "I think this is very awkward."

Luffy then yelled, "LOOK GUYS, WE MANAGED TO FISH AN OKAMA."

The man looked at him and at everyone else for a second time. He then realized that he wasn't on his ship and yelled in shock, "How did I ever get stuck on this weird duck?" he then let go of the duck and fell to the water screaming in fear.

A couple of seconds and he didn't get out of the water causing Nami to say, "He's another hammer." She then looked at Zoro, "Go down there and get him, so he won't die."

The man lifted an eyebrow and said, "Why the hell am I supposed to be the one to get him?" he didn't get an answer. The only thing he got was a kick sending him to the ocean.

Moments later, the Okama man sat in front of them thanking them, "Thank you very much." He then bowed down to them, "Thank you for saving my life."

The man carried on talking, "My life was saved by pirates that I don't even know. I will never forget this." He then asked, "Can I have a cup of soup?"

He was yelled at by Usopp, "Like hell, we're going to give you anything."

The man then looked to the railing where Vivi was standing. He looked at her and winked, "Wow, aren't you a cutie? I gobble you up just by looking at you."

The girl cringed and looked away in disgust. Sanji went to the Okama and kicked him, "Stop making Vivi-chan feel uncomfortable, you weird creep."

Robin observed him a little, "So I assume that you ate a devil fruit since you can't swim like me and Luffy." The man's face brightened making Robin giggle, "I assume that I'm correct."

The man nodded his head, "Do you guys want to see my awesome power?" Both Usopp and Luffy nodded their heads. The man then stood and walked to Luffy rearing his hand back, "This is my awesome power." He said before slamming it into his face sending him crashing into the wall.

Everyone was then alerted readying themselves for a fight and many phantom arms appeared on the Okama bending his back. Robin walked up to him, "Tell me why shouldn't I snap your back."

"Wait, wait." They heard him speak but with a different voice confusing them.

When Robin stood in front, she saw Luffy's face looking back at her. The girl was so shocked, she let him go. The man then stood and said, "Do you see this? This is my power." He then began to laugh with Luffy seeing the Okama man looking just like him.

The Okama man then began to dance around explaining how his powers worked. He touched every member of the crew except Sanji who kicked his hand away. The man then began to transform into them one by one beginning with Usopp, "I can turn into people using my right hand through the power of the 'Mane-Mane Fruit'," he then turned into Zoro, "But with my left, I can go back to normal," he then turned into Chopper, "I can imitate anyone," he then turned to Robin, "I can even become girls too," he finished the show off with Nami, "I can even imitate their bodies." He went to open the robe he was wearing, but Robin stopped him.

The black-haired girl said, "We get it. You don't need to flash us to get your point through. Just drop the idea for your sake at least." He then pointed to Nami, "She isn't the friendliest person when someone manages to push her buttons."

The man nodded his head before turning back into his original. He then asked the crew, "What do you think about my powers?" Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper began to praise him telling him to give more faces.

The man obliged and began to cycle through many faces that he had, but one of them caught Vivi's attention. It was the face of her father. The king of Alabasta.

When the man finished, the trio of Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper began dancing with him. Robin laughed a little at this while Nami sighed, "This is ridiculous. This guy could be our enemy for god's sake, and those three already made friends with him."

The girl then spotted a ship sailing toward them. She looked at the man, "Is that your ship?"

The man looked and saw the approaching ship. He then jumped up and saw it. He looked back at the trio, "Well, it looks like it's time for me to go." The three began to beg him to stay, but he then told them, "Don't worry about me, babies. We always remember each other because nothing stands in the face of true friendship." He finished with tears escaping his eyes.

Once the ship was near them, the man jumped into it, "Come on boys, let's get going."

His men then yelled to him, "Yes, Bon Clay-sama, Mr.2."

The crew once the ship was in the distance yelled together, "He's Mr.2," they looked at Vivi and asked her, "How come you weren't able to identify him?"

The girl felt small under their gazes, "Well, I never met him before," she then took a thoughtful look, "but I did hear that he was an Okama, wore make-up, and the sort…"

Nami sighed, "Well, whatever… at least now, we have an idea about one of our enemies and his abilities."

Robin merely nodded her head feeling a bit down since the man managed to escape their grasp.

Vivi then said, "That's not the problem. The real problem is that he has the face of my father."

Robin looked at her with worry, "How did he manage to get that close to your father?" Robin then rubbed her forehead, "I hate to say this Vivi, but it appears that your father's security details have been compromised if he managed to get his face."

Vivi nodded her head sadly, "Imagine the huge amount of damage that he can do with my father's face." The girl slumped down, "He can literally go to a village and kill people there with nobody knowing any better than they saw their king harming their people."

Zoro then said, "Peachy. Now, what are we going to do about the fact that he managed to steal most of our faces?" The crew looked at him, "Don't give those dumbfounded looks. He is our enemy. He knows our faces and can turn into them."

Luffy then said, "That's right. He can easily trick us into lowering our guard before beating each one of us." The boy sat down to try and think of something to help his crew to identify each other.

Robin then sat beside him to think of something similar. She leaned her head against his shoulder.

Nami then said, "This is not the time for romance, Robin." The black-haired girl ignored her.

Luffy then said, "Why don't we make a mark on our hands? A symbol that can help identify each other." The others looked at him and they had to admit that he had a good idea.

Sanji then asked, "It's a good idea in essence, but what if he saw the mark and copied it?"

Nami then suggested, "How about we cover our marks? This way he won't be able to figure the mark out." Everyone nodded their heads accepting the idea.

5 minutes later, everyone had an X mark on their arms. They then vowed together that they will help Vivi free Alabasta from Crocodile's grasp before covering their marks with a cloth.

Zoro then said, "It's a good thing that we came across him or else we might have been defeated by him. Now, we have countermeasures against his devil fruit that stop him from tricking us."

Four days later, the ship was softly bobbing against the ocean waves. The crew was laying around the board of the ship. They were all feeling one thing; hunger. Suddenly, the waves under the ship began to move violently.

Everyone was shocked when a huge cat seaking emerged from the waters looking down at them. This made Usopp and Chopper yell in fear, "A Huge Seaking"

Luffy and Zoro on the other hand had an entirely different reaction once they saw the giant beast. Both of them quickly rushed toward it to hunt it and make it food. Sanji eventually joined them on the hunt only for Vivi to knock all three men unconscious giving the animal the chance to escape.

Luffy was the first one to protest, "Vivi, why did you stop us from hunting the huge fish?"

The girl shook her head, "This seaking is a scared creature."

Luffy nodded his head while he was being tended to by Robin telling him that he will eat.

Nami on the other hand was looking at the log pose of the Alabasta kingdom. The girl then said, "I think that we're getting closer to Alabasta as we speak. We'll reach the kingdom any minute now."

Zoro then spotted something in the distance, "Oi, Vivi" the girl looked at him, "Does your kingdom have some welcoming committee or something?" the girl was confused till Zoro said, "Because we have one heck of a fleet that is behind us. Those are proof we are in the right place."

The girl looked and paled, "Oh, no. those are Baroque Works. I hope that they don't see us."

Sanji then said, "Relax. If they didn't do anything till now, that means they haven't seen us yet."

Vivi relaxed as they all approached her and they all said, "If anything happens, the left arm is a sign of our friendship." Luffy then looked into the distance and he saw the land coming closer, so he yelled, "To find a restaurant with lots and lots of food."

Robin then asked Vivi, "Vivi, now that we arrived. What are exactly planning to do?"

The girl replied, "Well, I'm planning to head to a small town where I know the leader of the rebels is hiding. I hope to convince him to stop this war by using my knowledge and investigation."

The black-haired girl hummed a little bit, but then added, "Vivi, are you sure that he's still there?"

Vivi looked at Robin and asked her, "What do you mean, Robin? Do you think he might have moved?" this would throw her hard work to the wind.

Robin then said, "In that case, we look around for where he might be. We don't just sit around waiting for him to drop from the sky into our laps like little children."

Vivi nodded her head. They then saw the ship dock at a harbor with Luffy jumping off and ship and racing off to a restaurant. Vivi sweat-dropped at this, but then she said, "Okay, guys first things first…" Everyone looked at her, "We must find appropriate clothing for you because you all stick out like a sore thumb."

Sanji then raised his hand, "Oh, me. I'll bring clothes for you girls." He heard a cough from Zoro before adding, "And the rest of you baboons."

He then ducked just in time to avoid a kick from Zoro. Nami quickly stopped them before this developed into a full-on sparring session.

Inside a restaurant in the town, a man could be seen with his face down in his food. The chef looked at him confused and said, "What on the world just happened?"

A customer then added, "One minute he was eating normally. The next he flopped down onto the plate like a rock. Do you think that he's dead?"

Another one then said, "Do you think he ate from the spider of the sands? It's a poisonous insect that looks like a fruit. Poor guys."

Suddenly, the man woke up from his sleep startling everyone, "HE'S ALIVE."

The man looked at them and said, "What are you folks looking at?" he then continued to eat.

He looked at them, "Man, what's up with you guys?" he then saw a woman with a skirt beside him so he grabbed the skirt and wiped his mouth on it. This caused the woman to push him away.

The man rubs the back of his head, "What a harsh country? Learn who to lighten up?"

The chef looks at him and says, "Young man, are you okay? You just passed out all of a sudden."

The man looked at him and said, "I don't have an…" he then fell back into his food snoring causing everyone to yell in shock, "What the hell just happened here? He just slept again."

The man then woke up again saying, "Wow, what just happened right now?" he then shrugged and lifted his fork to continue eating his meal. The man then heard the door of the restaurant open.

He then heard someone talking, "What the hell are doing here?" he looked behind him to see Smoker standing right in front of him, "What is a commander of Whitebeard doing here in Alabasta?" this made everyone jump back in fear.

One of the men yelled, "A commander of Whitebeard? What the hell is happening here?" he looked at the man who was still eating nonchalantly, "Is this happening?"

Smoker then said, "Ace the second fleet commander of Whitebeard. Also known as Fire Fist: Ace." He looked him up and down, "I'll ask again; what are you doing here?"

Ace then looked at the man and smiled a little, "Can't a man come here to eat something after a long week of sailing? Even a criminal need something to eat to continue living."

Smoker scoffed, "So you say. And here I thought that I'm going to look just for one criminal…"

Ace put his hands on his chest in mock pain, "You weren't looking for me? I'm really hurt."

Smoker then lifted his hand, "Don't worry. I'm going to take you in any way if that's what you're worried about." He then went to grab his weapon, "I can't allow a pirate to roam free when I'm around. Just surrender and come silently with me."

Ace didn't look at him and looked at the chef, "Hey, pops" The chef scowled that his restaurant might become a fighting arena. Ace lifted a bounty poster with Luffy's face on it, "Did you see this guy come here?"

The chef shook his head, but Smoker, who was already irritated, became a little bit angrier when he saw the picture of Luffy, "Why the hell are you looking for him?"

Smoker suspected that Whitebeard might want to recruit the kid into his crew, but then Ace said something that made him stunned, "I'm actually here looking for both him and Robin because they're both my brother and sister."

Smoker lifted an eyebrow, "Brother and sister? They're your siblings." The man rubbed his head feeling a new type of headache coming closer to him.

Ace then said, "Since you're not here for me, then I'm going to contain looking for my brother."

Smoker then replied, "You know that I can't allow you to be free."

Outside the restaurant, Luffy finally reached the restaurant causing him to smile. The boy then used a 'Gum-Gum Rocket' to launch himself into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, Ace readied themselves to fight against Smoker who already had his weapon pointed at Ace. The man said, "Give up and come silently. There's no need to make a scene."

Suddenly, something burst from the door hitting Smoker in the back and launching him at Ace who had a dumbfounded expression when Smoker hit him. Both men were smashed through multiple buildings causing them to be buried under rubble.

After the destruction was caused, Luffy was sitting on a seat looking at the chef demanding food.

The man looked between Luffy and the hole his sudden entrance caused causing him to wonder what to do, but he then went to make food for the boy.

Once he was finished, he presented the food to the boy. The boy to hungrily when the chef told him, "Hey kid, look…" Luffy looked at him while eating, "I don't want to interrupt your eating time, but I think you should seriously take your food and run away." He then added, "You pissed off some seriously strong people when you smacked them through my restaurant."

Luffy looked at the hole in the side of the restaurant, "Man, that's a huge hole. What happened?"

Many patrons yelled at him, "You happened. You were the one that caused the hole."

Luffy tilted his head continuing to much on the food, "Really, I don't remember that." He then took a thinking position while still eating. He then slammed his fist into his hand, "Yeah, it's true. I'm the one who caused this. Well, I'll just continue eating." This made everyone in the restaurant facepalm at the boy's apparent stupidity.

In the rubble away from the restaurant, Ace stood up with an angry look and stomped his way toward the restaurant, "Who the hell was that? I'm going to burn him alive."

Once he was in front of the restaurant, he saw Luffy causing him to smile, but he wasn't able to say anything because Smoker also saw Luffy who was his initial target. The 'Plum-Plum' user then slammed Ace's head on the ground as he raced toward Luffy.

The man stood in front of Luffy, "Strawhat Luffy, we met again. I'm wondering what are you doing here?" the man looked at the boy who seemed to be solely focused on eating right making Smoker yell, "Quit eating already. I'm talking to you."

Luffy looked at Smoker and he began to remember who he was. The boy's memory quickly took him back to Louge Town when Smoker first met him and was able to defeat rather quickly.

The boy then yelped, "You're that smoke guy that attacked back in Louge Town. Why the hell did you follow me here?" this caused some food to fall out of Luffy's mouth onto Smoker causing the man to be angered.

The boy then jumped from his seat grabbing all of his food. The boy then shoved the food in his mouth and ran away from the restaurant.

Smoker then ran after Luffy to catch him. Ace stood up and ran after the two yelling for Luffy to stop and talk with him. His effort was in vain since the boy was mostly focusing on avoiding Smoker and his marines. Lufy's eyes widened in panic when he saw Smoker's men nearby.

The boy ran quickly trying to avoid Smoker and his men, but the marine saw his subordinate Tashigi standing. The man yelled, "Tashigi, drop everything from your hand and help me."

The girl smiled a little, "Do you need a towel, Smoker? This country is really a hot place?"

The marine captain replied, "I don't have time for that, you idiot." He then pointed at Luffy, "Grab him. He's Strawhat. If we catch, this means we can go and grab Nico Robin because she's certainly nearby." The woman looked at the boy and quickly brought out her sword attempting to strike him.

The rubber boy saw the attack coming and jumped to the top of a building avoiding it.

Somewhere within the limits of the city, Nami was looking at the clothes that Sanji bought her and admired them, "I like it, Sanji. It looks really cute on me."

Vivi interjected, "Well, I don't want to complain Sanji, but why did you bring us dancer clothes?" the girl rubbed the back of her head, "It would have been more if we bought common people's cloth because they won't attract too much attention."

The man looked at her with hearts in his eyes, "Believe me when I say that dancers are also common people." This made the girl sweat-drop at the man's behavior.

The girl then said, "But Sanji might have to walk through the desert, and this might put us…" The man then began to flirt with Vivi making her sigh since the man was a lost cause when it comes to his perversion.

She looked to her side and saw Robin walking up to her in normal clothes. Vivi then said, "Robin, where did you get these clothes?" she stopped for a moment, "And do you have any more?"

The girl then smiled, "Of course, Vivi." She then handed the girl a couple of normal clothes making Sanji feel depressed. Robin then looked at Nami, "If you want, I have normal clothes for you too."

The girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "No, I'm good, but thanks for the offer." She then used a perfume that Sanji bought her to use it on her clothes.

This caused Sanji to begin and swoon around her making everyone sweat-drop, but Zoro snorted under his breath, "Man, he takes perversion to a whole new level."

Sanji looked at him and began to fight him, but this was soon stopped with Nami punching both of them on the head causing them to moan in pain.

Nami then saw Chopper clutching his nose and asked him, "What's wrong with you? And why are holding your nose? Is there something bothering you?"

"The perfume on your clothes is hurting my nose," the girl tilted her head, "My nose is really sensitive to smells, so the perfume you have is really annoying my nose."

The girl smiled a little lifting the bottle and spraying some perfume on herself, "So I assume this is annoying you." The reindeer began to cover his nose while Nami chuckled.

In the meantime, Robin approached Vivi, "Vivi, I have something very important to tell you."

The girl looked at her and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

The black-haired girl then said, "Well, I did some snooping around when I went for a walk around Nanohana. And I have to tell you that I heard rumors that the rebel army changed its base."

Vivi's eyes widened a little, "Oh no, what am I going to do now? I mean I expected it, but still…"

Robin smiled a little saying, "Don't worry Vivi because I already know where they are."

Vivi looked at her with hope, "Really?" Robin nodded her head, "can you tell me where so we can go there so I can talk with the leader of the rebels?"

Robin then said, "I heard that it's in the town of Katorea."
