A.n I own Nothing.

Sanji continued to wander through the jungle with Connor on his back. After their talk Evie had run off to find and warn Vivi about Miss Goldenweek being on the Island, Sanji had wanted to come along as well but Connor was still paralysed. Sanji decided to drop the boy back at the ship and then find Vivi and Luffy.

The problem was he was lost; Sanji did not get lost easily unlike a certain green haired swordsman he knew. It's just that he didn't know which way the Merry was and he hadn't thought to ask Evie for directions.

"I bet that moss head has found something huge by now. Stupid swordsman," Sanji muttered irritably.

"I'm sorry," Conner mumbled.

Sanji instantly regretted what he said; he looked over his shoulder at Connor. 'He must think it's his fault' Sanji thought.

"Hey it's not your fault, I'll just beat him in the next contest," Sanji tried.

"…"

"Seriously don't worry about it,"

Sanji turned back to focus on where he was walking and suddenly stopped, in front of him was a small hut made of wax. He walked up to it and touched it; just to be sure he wasn't seeing things. Sanji found the door and went inside; it was a one room hut inside was a small living area was set up. Complete with two single chairs, a couch, a coffee table and a rug laid out on the floor. On the table was a very pretty decorated tea pot with two matching cups and sauces.

Sanji lowered Connor onto one of the chairs and inspected the tea pot; he found that it was full and still warm. He poured himself a cup, it was good. Sanji inspected the rest of the room and found a small bench with a large snail phone, some papers and an eternal pose that had Alabasta written on it.

"This is an odd looking Log Pose," Sanji noted.

Ring-Ring Ring –Ring.

The Snail phone rang suddenly, Sanji picked up the receiver.

"This is the S***** Restaurant, how may I take your order?" Sanji joked.

"Cut the crap," the voice on the other end said in a no nonsense tone.

"Right sorry may I ask who is calling?"

"It's me, Mr. 0,"

Sanji froze, he was talking to the boss of Baroque Works, he instantly thought about hanging up but that would be suspicious.

"Have you eliminated the princess yet?"

"We've captured her and the boy," Sanji lied "but she's with a group of pirates,"

"So? Eliminate them too,"

"This group has some pretty high bounties; I was thinking of turning them over to the marines,"

"As long as the princess and the boy are killed, how much are we talking about?"

"The captain has a bounty of 80,000,000 and the first mate has a bounty of 50,000,000,"

"Sounds like the kid pirates, be careful of the captains devil fruit power,"

"So I have permission to go ahead?"

"Yes and when your done head back to Alabasta for the final stage in my plan," Mr. 0 finished and hung up.

"That was intense," Sanji sighed "man Crocodile sounds like a massive prick,"

"He didn't sound very nice," Connor said.

"Well that should give us some breathing room. But how are we going to get to Alabasta?"

"That compass looks like an eternal pose, where dose it lead?"

"Who knows, it just says Alabasta…wait you don't think,"

"Vivi told me that an Eternal Pose will always point in the direction of the island that's written on it,"

"So this will show us the way? We could even bypass other islands altogether," Sanji realized "we should leave, those agents could come back at any minute,"

Sanji pocketed the Eternal Pose; he went over to Connor and picked the boy up and left the house. Now that they had the Eternal Pose they could head straight to Alabasta.

Evie stood on top of a brontosaurus, she'd climbed up to get a good view of the Island and she had to find the princess. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when she opened her eyes her senses to cover a good portion of the island. She could see everything, the animals the streams and even hear the soft breeze; then she saw it a giant wax pillar with three people trapped underneath it.

"Found you," she said.

Evie patted the dinosaur and thanked him for his help, she walked to the edge of his face and leaped of it without hesitation; Evie dived gracefully all the way down landing in a contently placed pile of leaves. She emerged unharmed and ran off in the direction of the giant wax pillar, leaving a very stunned dinosaur behind.

When Evie arrived she hid behind a tree to assess the situation.

He was an average-sized man with a rather frail-looking build. He wore a striped blue vest with a red bow tie, light brown pants and matching shoes. He had neatly combed black hair and wore stylish sunglasses. His most distinguish feature was the big 3 on top of his head.

Mr. 3 was bragging about how the trapped straw hats under the giant candle were going to be his greatest Master piece. Zoro was even striking a pose.

'That must be Mr. 3 but where's Miss Goldenweek…Ah there she is,'

Miss Goldenweek was a small child, with large eyes. She was quite short and had dark red hair tied in braided pigtails. Her attire consists of a wide-brimmed pink hat with a green band, a dark blue T-shirt, a sky blue cloud-patterned button-down shirt, a maroon-coloured overalls skirt with the top folded down, blue striped stockings, and big red shoes with white cuffs.

She was on a picnic blanket with a straw hatted boy, who was clearly struggling against her powers.

'Okay I've got to deal with Miss Goldenweek first, if I don't I run the risk of being hypnotized again,' Evie thought.

Evie faded out of sight and snuck carefully up behind Miss Goldenweek, she was offering Luffy some biscuits. Evie jabbed a small dart into the girl's neck, the effect was instantaneous and she slumped to the ground.

"Wha?!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise, he felt the control fade.

Mr. 3 whirled around just in time to see Evie fad back into view.

"Mr. 3 I presume," Evie said "My mentor sends his greetings,"

Mr. 3 froze in pure terror at the sight of Evie.

"I've done nothing wrong. You have no reason to target me or my partner," he said fearfully.

"I don't take kindly to being controlled by others. Besides I can't let you get away with murdering a princess,"

"How do you know about that?"

"A little boy told me,"

"That brat still lives?"

"Connor? You tried to kill Connor?" Luffy accused Mr. 3.

"Actually they tried to make me kill him. Spoiler alert: they failed," Evie claimed.

"So he's alive?"

"And unharmed, I'd like to pay this man back for taking control of me. So I'll help you out, I'll take on Mr. 3 here while you save them,"

"Thanks," Luffy said and ran towards the giant candle.

"Oh no you don't," Mr. 3 said, trying to stop Luffy.

Evie charged at Mr. 3 and punched him hard in the face, the hit broke his nose.

"Can you really afford to take your eyes off me?" Evie asked calmly.

'She's right, she's too dangerous. I have to focus on her for now,' Mr. 3 thought.

He launched a stream of wax at Evie but she easily dodged it.

"That's an interesting power; did you eat a Devil Fruit?"

"Yes I ate the Doru Doru no Mi (Wax-Wax Fruit)"

"Interesting, let's see how your fruit matches up to mine," Evie goaded and faded out of sight again.

Mr. 3 was stumped; he had just seen his opponent fade away. She didn't run into the jungle she just disappeared. He suddenly felt something hit him in the gut, it was an invisible force. It almost knocked him down but Mr. 3 maintained his ground. He looked around in fear and another punch hit him in the ribs, another in the eye and finally one in the nuts.

"This is too easy, aren't you going to fight back at all?" Evie's voice sounded through the air.

"Let's see how well you fight when you're surrounded. Wax-Clone!" Mr. 3 yelled and wax spewed from his fingertips, creating several dozen wax clones.

'With this I can confuse her and attack unseen' Mr. 3 thought.

Mr. 3 attempted to make his way over to Luffy who was in the process of destroying the giant candle but he suddenly felt something sharp and painful go through his thigh. He looked down and saw an ornate cane handle that was attached to a very sharp blade sticking out of his leg.

"Do you know what my specialty is, Mr. 3?" Evie asked dangerously, coming back into view.

Mr. 3 turned around to see Evie fade back into view, he shook his head.

"Infiltration, you see I've been trained from a young age to be the best infiltrator there is. And thanks to my Devil Fruit power I can pass unseen if I want too. Like all my brothers and sisters I've also been trained to fight, but do you know what my favourite weapon is?"

Mr. three tried to back away but Evie stopped him by pulling out a small knife.

"The knife. It's so small yet it can do so much damage. It's also very easy to clean the blood off,"

Evie held the small knife up to Mr. 3's throat, all she had to do was slit his throat and that would be the end of it. She'd have her revenge and as a Baroque Works officer he was far from innocent. Instead she quickly ripped the cane sword out of his leg and hit him on the back of the head with its hilt, knocking him out.

"But I wouldn't want to sully my knives with your tainted blood," Evie said coldly.

Evie sheathed her cane blade and walked over to Luffy and found that the giant candle had been destroyed but it was too late, the straw hats had already been tuned into wax statues. Luffy was yelling at the statues to do something to indicate that his crew was still alive. Evie's eyes flashed gold for a split second and she walked up to Vivi with her knife flicking skilfully through her fingers.

"Oi what are you doing?" Luffy cried out.

Evie ignored him and put the tip of her knife on Vivi's forehead, she applied a small amount of pressure and the wax covering her head and face broke and fell away. Vivi gasped for air and Evie did the same to Zoro and Nami.

"How'd you do that?" Luffy asked.

"It's just wax," Evie responded.

Suddenly Sanji burst through the jungle, ready to fight.

"NAMI-SWAN, VIVI-CHAN, EVIE-CHAWN. I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU, FEEL FREE TO JUMP INTO MY ARMS!" Sanji yelled, suddenly six knives came flying at him pining his jacket to a tree.

"I don't need saving. I especially would not accept being saved by you," Evie said darkly, she had a very dark aura around her.

Sanji blinked and did something incredibly stupid "whoa you're cute when you're angry," he said.

Evie snapped and threw a seventh knife at him. It embedded it in the tree just below Sanji's crouch. Sanji's eyes widened at how close it was. Zoro burst out laughing.

"Hey lady nice throw, but you missed," He joked.

"SHUT UP YOU SORRY EXCUSE OF ABSTRACT ART!" Sanji yelled back.

Zoro laughed at the irony of Sanji's situation, and Vivi was stunned at how violent the woman was.

"Hey lady, join my crew," Luffy demanded.

"No," Evie replied bluntly.

"Aww why not?"

"I'm already indebted to someone and I have no desire to leave that debt unpaid,"

"Umm…Miss Evie could you please remove these knives?" Sanji asked in a small voice.

"No leave him like that. It'll be a good lesson for him," Zoro advised.

"Shut it Moss head," Sanji angrily retorted.

Between Luffy and Evie they were able to free Zoro, Nami and Vivi from the wax. Zoro went over to Sanji and inspected one of the knives; he was surprised to find that all of the knives in question had a deceptively dull edge. He inspected each of the knives and they were all the same.

Nami and Luffy were thanking Evie for saving them, but Evie assured them that it was nothing. Vivi however stood away from the rest and was eying the woman suspiciously, she felt like she had seen her somewhere before.

"Hey blondie what happened to that kid who was with you?" Evie asked Sanji, finally removing the knives.

"Oh he's back at the ship with our sniper," Sanji answered.

Evie nodded, she glanced over to the fallen Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek.

"I don't suppose you could give me a ride do you?" Evie asked.

"NOO! Absolutely not," Vivi immediately shouted.

The straw hats stared at her blankly.

"We're kind of in a hurry to get to Alabasta," Nami explained.

"To stop the civil war, I know. But my ship was destroyed by these two," she said and pointed at Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek "so if I could hitch a ride I'd appreciate it,"

"You don't mind traveling to Alabasta?" Zoro asked suspiciously.

Evie shook her head. "My mentors most trusted friend owns a shop in Nanohana. I'll ask him for help once I get there,"

"But we can't let her come with us," Vivi protested.

"Why not, she's going to the same country we are," Luffy pointed out.

"Because it's too dangerous. If any of the Baroque works agents find her with us, she'll be marked for death,"

"But she just single handily took down two of them,"

"She did help me and Connor out of jam earlier," Sanji admitted.

"Okay she can come," Luffy said.

"But the danger…"

"Princess your concern is touching but unwarranted. If I were you I'd keep it for someone who actually needs it,"

Vivi was stunned at the bluntness of Evie's tone and attitude.

"Hold on the Log hasn't set yet," Nami pointed out.

"It won't set for 100yrs," Evie clamed.

"WHAT?" the straw hats yelled together.

"That's what I came to tell you. Connor and I found a house with something called an Eternal Pose to Alabasta. We can leave right away and our Log can reset once we're there," Sanji said.

"That's a relief" Vivi sighed. Happy she would not have to wait a full century to save her country.

"So you got a name?" Luffy asked.

"Evie. My name is Evie Frye,"
