The world.

What a glorious place!

Seek freedom and it will lie stretched out before your eyes.

If the endless dream guides your restless spirit, seize it!

Raise your flag, and stand tall!

The words of one piece zip by to the right while the Straw Hat Jolly Roger comes zipping through on the left strong wings sweep over the as the Going Merry sails through the vast sea the Straw Hat crew running above it aiming towards their dreams.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Sanji grins with a cigarette in his mouth, Nami smiles widely while giving a wink. Zorro gives a grin as he turns showing his left side, Ussop throws up his fist with a toothy grin, Chopper gave a happy smile as he jumped on Kurama's back the fox sharing a smile of his own Naruto runs up with a smile as Luffy holds up his up with a grin.

Luffy jumped into the air throwing out his punches, Naruto jumped into the air before teleporting and throwing his kusarigama, Zorro readied each of his swords before leaping forward. Nami pulled out her climate tact twirling around breaking it into each of its sections causing white smoke along with the red and blue bubbles to form a storm cloud in the sky shooting off a bolt lighting towards a terrified Ussop running for his life only to quickly compose himself giving a grin as he sat atop a cannon lighting the fuse shooting off a cannonball towards a nearby island. Chopper soars in the sky in his muscle form swiftly shifting to his reindeer form to his Regular form to going into point guard landing in the kitchen as Sanji bounced him on his foot lightly bouncing him up landing on the cooks head holding up plates on his arm catching cutlets of meat on his plates just as the two of them were about to trip Kurama caught them with some vines from his mouth.

The group throw up their hands up towards the sky zooming out to show the vast ocean towards the large sky as a map forms showing the title.

(Fly away glum blue sea)

The Going Merry sails through the ocean seagulls flying through the air. Naruto sits on the crows nest gazing at the sky as Luffy, Chopper and Nami gaze at the horizon.

(Fly away glum blue sky)

Crashing waves erupt as a storm surges Naruto, Ussop, and Sanji pull hard on rope to steady the ship while a panicking Chopper sits on Zoro's head pulling on his ears while Kurama sighs at this

The Merry sails along the side of a massive wave, Luffy and Naruto call out to Nami and rush out to look off into the horizon as they watch the sun slowly beginning to rise as the straw hats look on with excitement. A dolphin swims through the sea jumping and splashing about, Ussop tosses out a fish line as Luffy looks on with a hungry grin as Zorro lifts his weights. The dolphin jumps above the Merry revealing its gigantic body crashing into the water, the shock sending the marry and the Straw Hats flying in an unknown direction but Luffy had a wide grin on his face. The Straw Hat flag waves proudly as the crew looks off towards the unknown ready for their next adventure.

(With the crew)

After Naruto finally stopped chasing Chopper, the crew was now making their way through the desert.

"You are such a moron," Nami said to Naruto, as they made their way through the desert.

"Hey, you would be the same with your money, so don't judge me" Naruto said, as he crossed his arms with a huff.

"I'm with Naruto on this one," Zoro said, as he nodded in agreement.

"Oh? Is that because you still owe me?" Nami asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait, you owe her money?" Naruto asked Zoro, as he raised an eyebrow at this.

"She loaned me money for my new swords back in Loguetown. But I ended up not needing it, but she still charged me 300 percent" Zoro said with a scowl.

"You borrowed money from her, knowing how she is? Pfffft!" Naruto asked, before he started to snicker under his breath, along with Kurama.

"And how exactly am I?" Nami asked, her eyebrow twitching at his words.

"Well, let's see. Your money grabbing, moody, whiney" Naruto listed off, as he extended his fingers.

"Don't forget manipulative, cold blooded," Zoro added with a grin, deciding to get in on this.

"Alright, I get it!" Nami screeched at the two blade users.

"How dare you two insult the lovely Nami swan!" Sanji yelled at Naruto and Zoro.

"I only speak the truth. I didn't say she was a bad person. Hell, we all have flaws. Want me to list yours?" Naruto asked with a chuckle.

"Hey guys! I found a bunch of birds that look really hurt!" Luffy yelled, as he ran ahead of them, to where a bunch of white birds that looked like herons were laying on the ground.

"I'm on my way!" Chopper yelled, as he ran over to help.

"Wait, don't!" Vivi yelled in a panic, after seeing the birds.

"What's the problem?" Nami asked Vivi curiously.

"Those are Warusagi Birds. They play possum and steal supplies from travelers, who try to help them!" Vivi said with a panicked tone.

"What?!" everyone yelled, as they looked at where the birds had been laying down and saw them with Luffy's supplies with smirks on their faces, before they ran off.

"Hey! Give us back our supplies!" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper yelled in a rage seeing this.

The birds didn't get very far, before Naruto was already in front of them after a teleport with his katana out, which he had just sheathed.

The birds suddenly cried out, as they fell over, covered in cuts.

"Sorry, but we need that more than you do," Naruto said, as he grabbed the supplies off the thieving birds, before he approached the others.

"Wow. Nice save, Naruto" Usopp said with a grin.

"Thanks," Naruto said with a smile, as they all continued on their way.

As they did this, what they didn't notice was that they were being watched from what looked like a giant boat, that was sailing on the sands themselves, with Gaara and his two siblings standing by his side. These were Kankuro and Temari.

"Well, at least they aren't all stupid" Kankuro said, as he watched the Straw Hats through his telescope.

"Any moron can deal with Warusagi Birds. One of them probably knows about them and warned them" Temari said with a scoff.

"So what's the plan, little bro?" Kankuro asked Gaara curiously.

"……we wait for them to make camp, then we make our move" Gaara said, as he uncrossed his arms and looked at the empty ship, which seemed to be driving itself through the desert.

(Later, with the Straw hats)

Sometime later with the Straw hats, the sun was setting and everyone was setting up camp by a giant rock formation.

"Sanji, is the food ready yet?" Luffy whined, as he looked at the pot of stew that was sitting on the campfire.

"I said to sit there and wait, damnit!" Sanji yelled, as he stirred the pot with a spoon.

"So where exactly are we heading?" Naruto asked Vivi, as they waited for dinner to be finished.

Vivi pulled out a map and unrolled it, so that everyone could look at it.

"We're heading towards Yuba," Vivi said, as she pointed at what looked like a town on the map.

"Why?" Luffy asked, as he tilted his head to the side in confusion.

"Because, you moron, we're gonna try and meet up with her friend Koza, who is the rebel leader," Nami said, as they had discussed this back in Nanohana, while Naruto was getting Luffy.

"Do we need to fight him?" Luffy asked with a tilt of his head.

"No! We're going to meet him to stop the rebels from fighting against my father!" Vivi yelled at Luffy with shark-like teeth.

"OK, let's just eat and go to sleep. We've had a long day" Nami said, while Sanji passed out bowls of stew to everyone.

"Should we have some of us stay up as guards?" Usopp asked curiously.

"Some of us can stay up a few hours and keep watch, then pass the job on to the next guy through the night," Naruto said while he looked at everyone

"OK, we can do this every 4 hours, between me, you and dartboard brow" Zoro said, as he nodded at this.

"Oi!" Sanji yelled, clearly not happy with Zoro's insult.

"I'll go first. Now let's eat, cause I'm starving" Naruto said, as he started to eat some of his stew

Everyone nodded at this, as they ate their meals.

(Later)

It was a few hours later and Naruto was keeping watch, while making sure the fire stayed lit, as Kurama sat next to him to keep watch alongside him.

Naruto sighed, as he knew it was time to wake up Zoro for his turn, so he started to stand up.

As this was happening, Kurama's ears twitched, before he looked at the desert and started to growl.

"What is it?" Naruto asked curiously, as he looked at where Kurama was looking and started to approach it.

But as he got closer, suddenly Temari and Kankuro jumped at him, both wielding a bladed fan and a spear respectively.

"Hayh!" they both yelled, as they attacked Naruto. But at the last moment, he was gone in a puff of smoke.

"What?!" Kankuro yelled, as the tip of his spear hit the sand, where Naruto had been standing.

"Stay alert!" Temari yelled, as she readied her fan and looked for any sign of Naruto, before Naruto appeared at her side and slugged her in the side, before he was already gone, as she fell to her knees.

"Sis - gah!" Kankuro was yelling, as he pulled his spear out of the sand, before Naruto appeared behind him and grabbed his spear and moved it, so that it was in front of his neck, before pulling on it, effectively subduing him.

"Who the hell are you two?" Naruto asked with an annoyed look at the two siblings.

"Ugh. What's going on?" Nami groaned out, as she woke up.

"We've got unexpected company, that's what's going on" Naruto said, as he kept Kankuro subdued, while glaring at Temari, who Kurama was growling at.

"All of you wake up!" Nami quickly yelled at everyone, as she stood up.

"What's going on?" Chopper groaned, as he stood up and rubbed his eyes.

"Is it breakfast time yet?" Luffy asked, as he woke up.

"We have some intruders" Naruto said as everyone woke up

"Did they hurt Vivi Swan and Nami Swan?" Sanji asked, as he stood up.

"Vivi?" Temari asked in surprise, as Kankuro's eyes widened at this.

"Hey, what about us?!" Usopp yelled at Sanji.

"What about you?" Sanji asked, uninterested.

Before Usopp could say anything, the sand around them started to spark, before it suddenly grabbed everyone and started to encase them, effectively trapping them.

"Oh great. What's happening now?" Zoro asked, as he struggled to get loose.

"Is this Baroque Works work?" Vivi asked in a panic, as she knew that was a possibility.

"What the heck is this?" Naruto asked, as his hands were grabbed by the sand, freeing Kankuro.

"If you don't resist, then you will live through the night" Gaara said, as he approached the group.

"Who's the raccoon boy?" Luffy asked with a tilt of his head.

Gaara didn't react to this, before the sand covered Luffy's mouth.

"Wait. Gaara?!" Vivi yelled in surprise, as she looked at the young man.

"I knew that was you, Vivi" Temari said, as she looked at the captured princess.

"Hang on, do you know these bandits, Vivi Swan?" Sanji asked, as he looked at Vivi.

"Yea. We were friends back when we were kids. What are you guys doing, acting like bandits?" Vivi asked the three siblings.

"Because we are bandits" Kankuro said matter of factly, as he placed his spear on his shoulders, with his arms holding it in place.

"Why would you guys do this?" Vivi asked.

"Why wouldn't we? After what happened, you think we could actually have normal lives?" Temari asked with a scowl.

Vivi frowned at this, as she looked at the ground.

"What is going on?" Nami asked, as she looked at the siblings.

"The past doesn't matter now. What matters is that we will be taking your supplies and whatever else we can sell for a profit," Gaara said firmly, as Temari and Kankuro approached the group's backpacks nearby.

"OK, I'm done," Naruto said, as he teleported out of the sand that was holding him, before he appeared next to Gaara and swung his kusarigama at him. But this was blocked, as some sand shot up and caught the attack. But before the sand could grab Naruto, he was already gone again and reappearing in front of the supplies, his weapon ready.

"Hey, how can you control sand?" Chopper asked.

"I have eaten a Devil Fruit called the Grab Grab fruit" Gaara said with a cold tone.

"He can manipulate anything he has touched, as long as it's non living" Temari stated.

"And seeing as we have spent most of our lives in the desert, the entire desert is his weapon" Kankuro said with a smug grin.

"And you waste that on robbing people, during a civil war and a drought?" Vivi asked with a scowl.

"We don't exactly have a lot of options, thanks to your father," Kankuro said with a scowl of his own.

"My father didn't start this civil war! He was framed!" Vivi yelled loudly.

"Not that we're talking about our father" Temari said with a scowl of her own.

"Wait, that's what this is about? Your father made his choice, Temari" Vivi said, as she frowned at this.

"Our father didn't do what he was accused of!" Temari yelled at this, clearly angry.

"Yea, our father would never betray the king. He was his most trusted advisor! Kankuro said with a scowl.

"Ok, does anyone want to explain this?" Zoro asked, as he still struggled to get loose.

Kurama barked at this, standing next to Naruto.

"Yea, I'm more lost than Zoro," Chopper said, translating for the fox.

"Oi!" Zoro yelled at this, making Kurama snicker at this.

"Our father was the advisor for the king. He was his most trusted friend and advisor, before he was accused of conspiring against him" Gaara said with a firm tone.

"That wasn't very nice of him" Luffy said, as his mouth was freed from the sand.

"He didn't do it, you idiot!" Temari and Kankuro yelled at him.

"Anyway, our father was framed and after he was banished, he made us stay here instead, looking after our home like he did," Gaara said with a cold tone.

"Though we weren't exactly treated the best after father left" Temari said with a scowl.

"I never treated you three any differently," Vivi said to the three siblings.

"…..true" Gaara said as he nodded at this, as even after what happened and everyone shunned them and treated them badly, Vivi still treated them fairly.

As Gaara nodded at this, he receded his sand and let them all go.

"Gaara, are you sure?" Kankuro asked, as he looked at his little brother curiously.

Gaara nodded at this, as he looked at everyone, his eyes lingering on Vivi for a moment longer than the others.

"So why are you guys thieves?" Ussop asked curiously, as he dusted himself off.

"After our mother died, we didn't exactly have a lot of options," Temari said with a scowl, as she crossed her arms.

"I am sorry" Vivi said, as she bowed her head at this, as she remembered when their mother had died and how upset she was, when she couldn't find them after that.

"Why are you here? From what I have heard, you are supposed to be missing" Gaara asked Vivi curiously, as his sand went into a gourd on his back.

"It's a long story," Vivi said with a sigh.

"Well, seeing as we're not gonna fight now, you may as well tell us," Kankuro said, as he sat down and rested his spear on his shoulder.

"Sanji, I want some meat" Luffy said sleepily, as he'd gone back to sleep and just woke up.

The crew sighed at this, before they started to explain the situation to the three siblings.

(One explanation later)

It was now dawn and everyone was eating breakfast, as everyone finished explaining the situation to the three siblings.

"So this entire civil war is a sham" Gaara stated, as he crossed his arms with a cold look on his face.

"I knew that Crocodile was a snake in the grass" Kankuro said, as he never thought pirates, even the Warlords, could be trusted.

"So you are all helping Vivi save her kingdom. Why?" Temari asked, as she looked at the Straw Hats curiously.

"Eh? She's our friend, why wouldn't we help her?" Luffy asked, as he tilted his head to the side after swallowing his food.

This got surprised looks from Temari and Kankuro.

"Yea, that's our captain. Simple, but to the point" Naruto said with a grin.

"….if you need a ride to Yuba, then we can help you" Gaara stated, as he turned around to leave.

"Really?!" Usopp and Chopper yelled happily.

"Please, let's take it! This sun is killing me" Nami said, as she was more than willing to take any help offered.

"Follow us" Gaara stated, as he led the way.

"Gaara, are you sure about this?" Kankuro whispered to his brother.

"Yea. I know Vivi was our friend, but helping them won't change anything for us" Temari grumbled under her breath.

Gaara said nothing to this, as he thought back to the past, when he was a child along with his siblings, miserable because of them being shunned and being overcharged by all the people selling food to them, just out of spite, before Vivi came to them, offering them food and her friendship.

"Is" Gaara stated firmly.

"Huh?" Kankuro and Temari asked curiously.

"Vivi is our friend," Gaara stated, as he led the way into the desert.

Temari sighed at this, but said nothing, as she knew her brother wasn't going to budge on this one.

"You sure this isn't because you still have that crush on her - gah! OK, OK, OK!" Kankuro was asking with a grin, before some of Gaara's sand grabbed him in warning.

"Eh? What's going on?" Vivi asked, as she was sure she heard her name.

"Nothing. We are here" Gaara said, as he turned to look at them, as they arrived at what looked like a giant wooden ship with sails.

"Cool! A sand ship!" Luffy yelled out with a wide grin.

"Indeed. It can travel through the desert, just as fast as a regular ship in the sea" Temari said, as they all got on the ship.

"How does it work?" Usopp asked curiously, his hand on his chin, as he looked it over.

"Yea, you would need a crew to steer this thing" Nami said, as she looked around the deck of the ship.

Gaara said nothing, as sparks started to go off around him, as what looked like a pair of giant gauntlets appeared behind him, which grabbed the steering wheel, before the ship was engulfed in a bright light, before the ship started to move on its own.

"Wow, it's actually moving!" Chopper yelled, as he looked over the deck of the ship.

"Like Gaara said, whatever he touches with his gauntlets, he can manipulate however he wants" Temari said with a slight grin.

"Yea. We spent years just exploring the desert, so Gaara can touch enough sand to be able to win any fight, as long as he's in the desert" Kankuro said with a smile.

"We should get there a lot faster now" Nami said with a smile at the speed they were moving.

"It's also cooler," Chopper said with a smile, as he laid on the ship, along with Kurama.

"Hopefully we can meet up with the rebels in time," Naruto said, as the ship continued to sail through the desert.

"Thank you Gaara," Vivi said, as she looked at the redhead with a smile.

Gaara nodded at this, not saying anything, as he focused on the task at hand.

"Ah, this is so relaxing," Zoro said with a smile, as he laid on the boat.

"Agreed. Plus, this way, we don't have to worry about the Sandora Dragons" Vivi said with a smile of her own, as she gave a nod of agreement.

"Sandora Dragons? What are they?" Usopp asked curiously.

"They're the largest reptile that lives in the desert, who wait under the sand for their prey and then they ambush them. They're purple with razor sharp fangs and claws, but they hardly ever use them. The reason is because they're so incredibly huge, they tend to swallow their prey whole and they also hunt in pairs" Vivi said.

"Well, glad that we don't have to deal with them," Sanji said, as he smoked a cigarette, while leaning against a wall.

(In a different part of the desert)

A camel was seen running away from two Sandora Dragon's, tears coming from its eyes, as it hoped that someone would save it from being eaten.

(Sometime later)

Sometime later, everyone was waiting for the ship to arrive at its destination and soon….

"Yuba is in sight!" Kankuro yelled from the crows nest, before he started to make his way down.

Luffy, Usopp and Chopper ran over to the edge of the ship and took a look and saw what looked like an abandoned town that was covered in sand.

"Looks like we're a little late," Naruto said, as the ship stopped just outside of the town.

"No wonder the traffic coming to and from here has been dead," Temari said, as she crossed her arms.

Everyone got off the ship and approached the town and started to look around.

"It looks like this place is pretty much abandoned," Nami said, as she looked around.

"I can't believe it. I didn't think it would have gotten this bad" Vivi said, as she frowned at the state of this town.

As everyone looked around, Kurama's ears twitched before he ran into the town.

"Hey, Kurama might have found someone that's still here," Naruto yelled out to everyone.

Everyone ran after the fox and soon Kurama led them to what looked like an area, where a bunch of holes in the sand were.

An old man was seen digging in one of the holes, wearing desert clothing.

Kurama barked at the old man, getting his attention.

"Eh? Who are all of you?" the old man asked, as he looked at everyone curiously.

"Toto, is that you?" Vivi asked in shock, recognising the old man.

"V-Vivi?" Toto asked, his eyes widening before tears started to fill his eyes, as he climbed out of the hole to get a closer look at Vivi.

"Yes, it's me. What happened here?" Vivi asked the old man.

(One explanation later)

The sun was setting and everyone was sitting around a campfire, eating a meal Sanji had made for them, after Toto had explained what had happened to Yuba.

"So Koza and his rebels left?" Naruto asked, as he raised his eyebrow at the old man.

"Yea they left and set up base in Katorea for their foolish crusade Toto said with a frown at the thought of his sons decision

"They set up base in Katorea?!" Vivi exclaimed in shock.

"Where is that, Vivi? Is it nearby?" Nami asked curiously.

"It's next to Nanohana," Vivi said, putting her face in her hands.

Everyone but Luffy groaned at this, while Kurama barked angrily at Vivi.

"So you had us running around chasing our own asses for nothing?!" Chopper yelled, translating for Kurama.

"Hey! How was she supposed to know, you stupid fox?!" Sanji yelled at Kurama.

Kurama barked at Sanji at this, obviously not happy.

"Go make me a sandwich, you skirt chasing sap!" Chopper translated once again.

Sanji growled at this, as he started to send kicks at the kitsune, who dodged around the kicks.

"So what do we do now?" Zoro asked, as he crossed his arms with a frown.

"We head for Katorea and try to stop Koza and the rebels," Vivi said in determination.

"Nope" Luffy said, as he crossed his arms at this.

"What do you mean no?" Usopp asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean, I'm done. I quit" Luffy said, as he leaned against a tree.

"What do you mean, you quit - gah!" Sanji was yelling at Luffy, before he yelped, as Kurama bit him on the leg, thanks to him being distracted.

"Luffy, get up. We don't have time for this" Vivi said, as she approached Luffy.

"Wait, I think that Luffy is right," Naruto said, as he crossed his arms.

"What?! Why?!" Nami yelled, as she and the others looked at Naruto.

"Well, think about it. Us just going to the rebels is just gonna get Vivi killed, seeing as most likely there are members of Baroque Works there, with orders to kill her on sight" he said, as he mentally thanked Jiraiya for telling him to think like the enemy while growing up.

"So what are we supposed to do then?" Usopp asked, raising an eyebrow at this.

"We take the fight to Crocodile instead" Zoro said with a smirk.

Luffy smiled at this and nodded at Naruto, glad he knew what he was thinking.

"We don't have to fight. If we can just get to the rebels, we can -" Vivi was saying, before she was cut off.

"You're an idiot," Luffy said firmly at this.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL VIVI SWAN?!" Sanji yelled out with shark teeth.

Kurama barked at this, as he gave a nod.

"I'm with Luffy. She's an idiot," Chopper translated.

Naruto nodded at this, while Vivi clenched her fists as she approached Luffy and slugged him.

"I'm an idiot for wanting to end the fighting?! For wanting there to be no more suffering?!" Vivi yelled, as she went to punch Luffy again.

Before sand grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Enough" Gaara said, as he announced his presence behind Vivi.

"Gaara, you think I'm an idiot too?" Vivi asked, as he frowned and she looked at the ground.

"No, you just want to help your people. But the only way to really stop the fighting is to go after Crocodile" Garra said with a firm tone.

"I don't want to risk my friends' lives on this!" Vivi yelled, as she tried to get loose from Gaara's sand.

"You don't think we would want to risk our lives for you?!" Luffy yelled as he stood up, clearly angry now.

"Vivi, real friends help each other out, no matter what" Naruto said with a firm tone.

Everyone nodded at this, as they looked at Vivi, who stopped her struggling and started to cry.

"Please guys, help me" Vivi sobbed, as Gaara's sand let her go, so she could wipe her tears away.

"You got it. Right, captain?" Naruto said with a nod, before he looked at Luffy.

Luffy smiled at this, before nodding.

"OK. Then our new plan is to go after Crocodile" Sanji said, as he took a drag off his cigarette.

"Picking a fight with a Warlord of the sea" Usopp said, as he slightly sweated in fear, as his legs shook.

Kurama barked at Usopp upon seeing this.

"Wuss" Chopper translated

"Oi!" Usopp yelled, as he looked at the snickering fox.

"OK, let's get some rest and we will head for where Crocodile is in the morning" Nami said, as she hugged Vivi to comfort her.

"Where exactly is that?" Chopper asked curiously.

Vivi wiped her eyes and calmed herself, as she looked at everyone. "He's at his casino, which is in the town of Rainbase," she said, as she looked at her friends.

"So what's your and siblings' plan?" Naruto asked Gaara curiously.

Garra said nothing to this, as he looked at his siblings with an emotionless look.

Temari sighed at this, as while her little brother was very cold at times, she could tell what he was thinking, after being around him for so long. "Normally, I wouldn't want to save the kingdom who shunned us," she said.

Vivi frowned at this, as she knew that they had their own reasons to not want to help her kingdom.

"Yea, but Alabasta is still our home. So screw it we will help ya. But this better prove we're not scum to your people, Vivi" Kankuro added, as he nodded at this, before looking at Vivi, who smiled at them with a nod.

"So, what's the plan?" Sanji asked curiously.

"We burst in and kick Crocodile's ass!" Luffy yelled out, as he punched his fist into his hand.

Kurama barked and grinned madly at this.

"I like this plan! I'm honored to be a part of it!" Chopper translated.

"Great, the dumbest of the crew have a plan," Sanji said with a sigh.

Kurama blew a raspberry at Sanji at this

"We can't do that, you moron! People think he's a hero!" Nami yelled out, as she punched the back of Luffy's head.

"Yea, and? We're pirates, so who cares. Plus, once we deal with him, Vivi can explain to everyone" Naruto said as he shrugged.

"I take it that you guys don't wanna be heroes?" Kankuro asked curiously.

"No, cause heroes share all the meat! I want it all for myself!" Luffy yelled out.

"Our captain, everyone. 99 percent idiot, 1 percent savant" Zoro said with a sigh at this.

This got laughs from everyone.

"What's that mean?" Luffy asked curiously, as everyone went to sleep for the night.

This just got some more laughs from everyone.

(The next day)

The next day, everyone was back on the sand siblings ship and making their way to Rainbase, after saying their goodbyes to Toto.

"What have you got there, Luffy?" Naruto asked, as he looked at his captain, taking note of the small barrel around Luffy's neck.

"Oh, this is some special water the old man and I dug up for me last night, while you all were sleeping" Luffy said, as he smiled at the small barrel.

Naruto smiled at this, glad that Alabasta had still good people, despite all the struggles they are currently going through.

Soon what looked like a large city was seen in the far off distance, with a golden crocodile on top of a large pyramid.

"Is that the place Vivi?" Chopper asked curiously.

Vivi nodded at this, as her eyes narrowed while the ship got closer to the city of Rainbase.

"We're gonna need to make a plan, as I wouldn't be surprised if the Billions and Millions in the city are looking for Vivi" Nami said as the ship started to slow down as the city got closer

"We should split up into teams and infiltrate the city and make our way into Crocodile's base," Naruto said, as he recalled Jiraiya's lessons on the best way of going into enemy territory.

"Let's go!" Luffy yelled, as he jumped off the ship and ran into the city.

"You idiot!" Nami, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji yelled, as they ran after him, along with Chopper and Vivi.

"Would you guys please stay here? Just in case we need a quick escape from the city" Naruto said, as he looked at the sand siblings.

Gaara nodded at this, as he knew that was a good idea.

Naruto nodded in thanks, before he disappeared in poof of smoke into the city.

The sun slowly rises off as the night winds blow through the desert of Alabasta giving it almost a purple color from the sky. In the middle of the desert alone stood Vivi she looked down at the sand picking up a jeweled necklace holding onto it

tightly the cold winds flowing as she looked at the necklace with a forlorn look on her face as she thought of the danger awaiting her people.

She thinks back to all the adventures the group have had meeting the giants, fighting against Mr 3, crossing through the desert.

The group walks towards the princess Luffy patting her shoulder gently while Zorro simply struts by Sanji puts a hand on her shoulder while Ussop gives a grin, Nami passes giving her a wink, Naruto two finger salutes her with Kurama rubbing her head with his tails and Chopper waving by as the sun begins rising up into the sky and with it washing away all Vivi's doubt as she knows she has friends who will support her.

P.O.M and Kfbanime87 were both relaxing in their office….before it was interrupted, as Deadpool came crashing through a window

Wassup, my homies! Deadpool yelled out happily, as he got up off the floor

What do you want, Wade? P.O.M asked with a scowl, as he looked up from reading a fanfic story on his laptop

Oh, I was just dropping in to let you know that Black Adam, Captain America and Master Viper are teaming up to rescue Santa: Deadpool said

How high are you? Cause share that shit - oi! Cut the shit! Kfbanime87 was saying, before P.O.M slapped him on the back of the head

No drugs for you: P.O.M said with a firm tone

Well, on a less insane note, you hear that they are casting people for season 2 of One Piece? Kfbanime87 asked with a smile, as he rubbed the back of his head

Really? Awesome! Deadpool yelled out excitedly

Any big names? P.O.M asked curiously

The biggest one I know from the list so far, is the guy they cast as Mr 3: Kfbanime87 said

Who did they cast? P.O.M asked with a raised eyebrow

You know the guy who played Polka Dot Man in the Suicide Squad? Kfbanime87 asked

You're kidding! Deadpool yelled in surprise

Oh yea, guys a big One Piece fan apparently: Kfbanime87 said with a grin

I think he's perfect for the role of Mr 3: P.O.M said with a nod

They also casted Smoker. And while I don't know the actor, he looks perfect! Kfbanime87 said with a grin

They cast Kureha yet? Tell me they cast Jamie Lee Curtis! Deadpool yelled, as he grabbed Kfbanime87 by the front of his shirt

Not yet. Now let me go, you maniac! Kfbanime87 yelled as he got loose

I'm curious how they'll do Chopper: P.O.M said

I'm gonna assume mix of practical and CGI, so they can save money and avoid the uncanny valley problem: Kfbanime87 said

Eh? Deadpool asked, with a tilt of his head

So he doesn't look fake, you idiot: P.O.M said, shaking his head slightly

Later folks. Next is P.O.M's Avatar Korra fanfic: Kfbanime87 said, as he waved at the reader
