I don't own Naruto nor One Piece. Now we're in Little Garden. An arc I am not a fan of but we gotta go through it. I can't wait to get to Drum Island too. Why? Of course Chopper and a Developing moment for both Naruto and Sakura. But for now, enjoy.


After a couple days since they left Whiskey Peak. Naruto and Sakura look up at the sky in the Merry. They walk up to the deck to join Luffy, Zoro and Vivi. It was beautiful weather and the breezes balmy and the water was calm and crystal clear.

"Aw.. no snow." Complained Luffy. Zoro quirked an eyebrow.

"Snow in this climate?"

"Sure, why not?" Luffy shrugged. "Already happened once. You just missed it because you were asleep." He then turns his head to Vivi. "Hey? What about you? Do you think it's gonna snow?"

"I wouldn't rule anything out." Vivi answered. "But in the sea or in the first time it snowed was special." Vivi said. "The seven magnetic fields that emit from Reverse Mountain tend to make things particularly chaotic. But that doesn't mean you should relax your guard while sailing these waters. The odds of it being as wild as your first journey may be small." She headed over to the ship's side. "But still these waters aren't normal and are certain to hide surprises of their own. Remember, never underestimate the sea."

"Since the moment we entered this world, I concur with that sentiment," Sakura stated. Vivi turned to Sakura.

"So... you and Naruto are a couple..." She twirled her fingers and glanced at Sakura, a curious smile playing on her lips.

"Did you always have feelings for him?" Sakura was surprised by her question. She lowered her head in shame and watches the sea. Vivi couldn't see her expression but she heard Sakura answer her question.

"No..." She replied. "Before we were teammates, I thought he was just this annoying kid always getting in the way. I found them both irritating. I also had a crush on this guy named... Sasuke." She said his name with a bit of a sneer. A sharp girl like Vivi could easily guess what went down between them. Sakura kept on with the story.

"It wasn't until we started working together that I saw him differently. After he returned from a three-year mission, I noticed he had grown up..." Just then, they both glanced at Naruto, who was sneaking up behind a sleeping Zoro and farted right in his face. Zoro woke up with a jolt, pinching his nose.

"What's that smell?" Naruto laughed and dashed off the deck, leaving Sakura and Vivi embarrassed.

"...Just a little bit." Sakura wrapped up her story.

"Hey, guys!" Sanji's voice chimed in, holding a tray of drinks served in wine glasses. Karoo run down the stairs. Luffy and Zoro jumped off the rail joining their friends. Vivi watches wit a gasp. She smashes her hand on a rail

"Hey, you guys want to get out the fishing gear?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah." Said Naruto. "Don't remember the last time I ever fished."

"Sounds good to me." Usopp agreed.

"I'll even make you one of my custom fishing rods. You'll love it!" Karoo picks up the straw.

"No, no. It goes like this." Sanji puts in back in the glass cup. The group watches Karoo drink it all in one sip.

"Well, somebody sure is thirsty. Have another." Sanji said. He takes out the empty glass and hands him a full one. And just like last time, he slurped it all.

"Wow... that's cool!" Naruto said.

"Yeah!" Vivi looks on, feeling both annoyed and frustrated. Sakura stands with her hands on her hips, making quite the dramatic scene. They both hear Nami come out of the kitchen. Vivi points at them.

"They're acting like idiots!" She told Nami.

"Yep... but I'm used to it." Sakura said as she took a sip of her drink.

"Maybe this will help." Nami hands Vivi a glassed drink."These boys may go through there goofy fazes but when things get rough, they get to work."

"Yep, never count out Naruto. Sure he's my goofball but when it comes to battles, he can be smart at times." Vivi eyes lowered.

"Sorry." she said. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm getting worked up over nothing."

"This ship will put you at ease." Nami said.

"Yeah, you'll cheer up in no time." Sakura finished. Vivi observes as the boys enthusiastically cheer for Karoo, who is consuming his fifth serving. The duck's eyes become unfocused before he collapses onto his back, eliciting laughter from the guys. Nami laughs and looks at Vivi. The princess smiled and puts her hand behind her ear.

"Yeah... they're funny." Her thoughts were interrupted by a large splash. They looked over to see a dolphin splashing.

"Hey, look it's a dolphin." Sanji said. "A pirates Best friend.

"Whoa! Beautiful!" Nami cooed. Naruto walks up to Sakura and holds her hand. The dolphin they saw suddenly jump across them. Luffy, Zoro and Sanji gasped.

"It's huge!" They all shouted in excitement. Luffy laughed as he watched the dolphin dive back into the water.

"Let's GO!" He ordered.

"Right, Captain." Naruto said. He and the others dropped their glasses to move the ship. The noise woke up Karoo and he helps out the crew. Vivi watches with amazement. Sanji is pulling the ropes on the sail. Usopp was on top, pulling the ropes to the mast. Zoro went in and steer the rudder.

"They were right." Vivi said.

"Okay, Hurry! Let's move!" Luffy shouted. The dolphin jumps out again and dives back into the water, causing another wave. The wave moved the ship, sailing it faster. After a smooth transition, Luffy turns to the Navigator.

"Nami, which direction now?"

"Gimme a sec." Nami remarked while examining her log pose in her wrist, noticing the direction it was indicating. She smiled and turned to the crew.

"Port side, full!"

"Turning full!" The crew Said as the steered the Merry turned full. Once they turned full, Luffy and the others spot the nearest island. Nami looks at her Log pose.

"Cactus Island and this one here are definitely pulling against each other." She pointed a finger at the island. "Our next stop!" Luffy felt excited. Naruto squeezed Sakura's hand.

"This is it!" Luffy exclaimed.


Not too far at a resort Island. A man was sitting down on a lawn chair under an umbrella drinking a tea. He's got glasses and his hair's always neatly combed. Plus, he's been spotted with a Log Pose on his left wrist.

"Mr. 3? A voice called him. He turned to who called him. It was a girl in a pink hat and has rosy cheeks.

"Yes, my dear?" Mr. 3 asked as he took another sip.

"I'm bored." She stated.

"On the one hand you say you're bored on the other you don't like working, correct?" The girl nodded.

"Then why don't you cease your complaining and revel in the enjoyment of this rare slice of freedom circumstances have generally afforded you. How grand to take a long vacation. A privilege few officers ever get to indulge. One more thing, I would appreciate your mindful and immediate discretion in not calling me by my code name in public. Otherwise, people would discover that I am indeed Mr.3."

"Sure." The girl gave in and glanced at the paper.

"Incidentally, I couldn't help noticing you've been perusing that piece of paper over the last several days? Why does it grab you so?" He asked in a calm tone.

"It's an order from boss." The girl showed him.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He yelled, eyes wide and teeth bared, snatching the paper from her grasp.

"It's says Mr.5 has been taken down. If someone had to be terminated I wish it would've been someone useless like Mr. 2."

"So it would benefit you. With a fat protmotion."

"It's not that necessarily, rather the downfall of Mr.5 is hardly exciting news at all. The man excelled at nothing, clinging to his own Devil Fruit powers like a drowning rat. You are correct that the modicum of my indifference stems from the fact that 5's misfortune brings me no gain. All we may learn is power means nothing if not properly harnessed." He finished the last of his tea. "Superior criminals are those who execute their crimes with superior intellect. Never the less whoever beat Mr.5 should be made an example of. If for no other reason then to preserve the reputation of terror our organization is painstakingly cultivated and indeed for criminality as a whole."


Back at the Going Merry, They finally made it to Little Garden.

"I can see why this is called Little Garden." Luffy said.

"I can't." Naruto disagreed with crossed arms. "Something tells me this is false advertising."

"I agree with you, Naruto." Nami said. "Why the cute name?"

"Some things are deadlier than they sound, Nami."Sakura mentioned while she was gathering some medical supplies. She zipped her backpack and joined her. Usopp backed away slowly.

"M-Maybe we'd be better off skipping this one!" He suggested while waving his hands.

"We have to be careful." Vivi said. I can't help but remember the warning Miss All Sunday gave us."

"Vivi's right." Naruto said. He puts adjusted his hat and looked ahead. "For who knows another one of Crocodile's cronies might set traps for us."

"We might be attacked by giant monsters!" Usopp gulped

"Heh, who knows?" Luffy spoke up. Naruto came over, smirking as he shook his fist.

"I've battled some pretty terrifying monsters. Once, a giant snake swallowed me whole!"

"Seriously?" Luffy's eyes widened.

"Yup..." Naruto replied with a grin. "Happened during the chunin exams."

"But how did you..." Usopp started to question.

"I pulled a fast one with shadow clones," Naruto explained. "We sliced our way out with daggers."

"THAT'S AWESOME!" Luffy shouted in excitement. Nami turns to Sakura with a questioned face.

"Is that true?"

"Yeah... hope it doesn't happen again." Sakura rolled her eyes as she zipped her backpack.

"Listen, I'm sure we can make it to the next island without going ashore on this one!" Usopp said.

"The only way to reset the Log is to go ashore." Nami said while having her hands on her hips.

"Not to mention we're in dire need to restock our food supply." Sanji said with his arms crossed. "We didn't get so much as a sack of flour in the last town."

"Guys..." Zoro pointed. "There's our ticket in." Sakura, Nami, and Sanji joins him. They see that they are close to a ravine straight towards the Island.

"Think they have a barbecue restaurant here?" Luffy asked.

"I hope we find a Ramen one." Naruto said.

"We didn't travel all this way for barbecue or Ramen!"

"But I thought the point of this visit was to get food." Luffy protested.

"I don't know. Usopp might be right about this one. Just take a look at the gargantuan plant life here. I've never seen anything like it, not even in books." Nami said. She and the others then hear a bird squawked from afar. Nami and Usopp both covered their heads. Sanji blushes at Nami.

"You're so adorable." He swooned.

"Thanks Sanji..." Naruto said. "But I have a girlfriend."

"That's not funny, Naruto! I was talking to Nami!" Sanji screeched. Naruto lowered his eyelid and extended his middle finger.

"What is that screeching?" Nami asked. Sanji turns around from Naruto and points up at the sky.

"It's all right, love. It's only a bird. Perfectly harmless. Just like this jungle. Nothing to worry about." He has no idea that the massive bird he was chatting about is actually soaring his way. Both Nami and Usopp whimpered and stood behind Sakura.

"Sanji, look behind you. The bird is coming." Naruto warned.

"Huh?" Sanji arches an eyebrow. He turns around to see the Bird trying to catch him with his claws. Luckily Sanji avoided it. He and the others watch the bird flew away. Sanji gets back up holding his head.

"What the hell's the matter with you, ya damn bird?"

"Oh... it's big. Could be tasty." Luffy said. They suddenly catch the sound of a loud boom echoing from a distance.

"What was that?" Sakura asked with a concerned face.

"Is that the kind of noise you expect to hear from a normal jungle?" Nami questioned.

"That sounded like a volcano erupting! We're all going to die!" Usopp yelled.

"Calm down there, Usopp." Naruto said. "We'll be fine." They noticed a movement emerging from the jungle. It was soon apparent that the figure was a colossal tiger.

"A Tiger?" Nami gulped.

"It's GIGANTIC!" Usopp yelled. They both ran to the other side of the Merry. Sakura took a closer look at it. She and the others witness the tiger coughing blood then it fell to its death. Nami returned to the other side, confused.

"What just happened?"

"I think it was wounded, Nami." Sakura answered.

"That's not normal!" Nami exclaimed. "And I know Normal!"

"We're not stepping foot on that island and that's final!" Usopp stated

"We can still reset the readings on the ship! We'll just have to sit tight until then."

"Right!" Usopp nodded.

"When that's done, we'll leave and never look back." Nami continued.

"Right!"

"Y-Yeah, right! We'll all just stay here." Nami chuckled nervously.


After they docked the ship and Zoro dropped the anchor. Luffy was standing beside the rail, all excited. Naruto observes his expression and smirks, recognizing that look instantly.

"Sanji, go make lunch!" He said. Sanji looks at him.

"You want lunch?"

"Yep!" Luffy confirmed. "And one more thing, make it a great big pirate lunch with lots of meat and no veggies. I'm going to need some raw energy!" Nami walks closer to him, and hopes to stop him.

"Energy for what? What are doing?! You're not leaving here!" She protested.

"Let it go, Nami." Sakura said. "Whenever Naruto wants to go on a adventure. There's no stopping him. Same goes for Luffy."

"Sakura!" Nami protested. "Surely you're not agreeing with them going."

"Who said I was?" She asked. "But I know whenever he want to go on adventure, he jumps at an opportunity."

"Sanji, I'm starving!" Luffy says to the cook who makes his way to the kitchen.

"Right, be patient." He said. "i'll have it back to you as soon as I can." Vivi was looking at the Island then turned to Luffy.

"Say, Luffy. You mind if I join you and Naruto?" Usopp gasps after hearing that, Nami and Sakura both stare at Vivi, with a unpleasant face.

"Sure!" Luffy accepted.

"The more the merrier." Naruto said while bending his knees.

"NO!" Nami protested. "Vivi, you can't be serious!"

"Yeah, I've rather not sit here with nothing to worry about my troubles. Besides, I'll have Karoo with me." Karoo stood there for a moment, He then quacks then started to feel a little queasy.

"Hey, something's wrong? Karoo doesn't look too good."Nami looked over at the duck. "He might be in shock."

"Vivi, if you go exploring you'll need to eat. I'll pack you a lunch." Sanji asked from the kitchen. "

"Thanks." Vivi said. "While your at it, could you fix something for Carue?"

"Of course." Sanji said. "You just leave it to me." After he finished cooking, He gives Naruto, Luffy, and Vivi their food. He wraps a drink around Karoo's neck.

"Now your all-set and ready to go!" Sanji said. "Three Pirate lunches for Luffy, Naruto, and Vivi and a special drink for Karoo!"

"Heh, thanks!" Luffy said as he jumps off with Naruto with Vivi riding Karoo following them. They turn back as Vivi waves.

"Well, See you guys, later." Vivi said. The entire crew watched them take off. As soon as they were out of view, Sakura rummaged through her backpack. She dumped everything out and realized she was running low on herbs and spices. After packing everything back in, she leaped out.

"Hey Sakura, where you headed?" Usopp asked.

"I am running out of medicine and I am gonna look for some in the forest." She said

"What, are you crazy? I thought you were smart, Sakura!" Protested Nami.

"I am aware that this island could pose some risks." Sakura acknowledged. "However, we must procure additional medicine for the crew. I won't take too long." With that she too, takes off, leaving Nami, Usopp and Sanji watching her. Usopp cross her arms.

"I think dating Naruto got to her head a little." He said.

"At least she has a good excuse." Nami defended. They hear Zoro comes down from the mast.

"I'm bored. I'm gonna take a walk."

"Take a walk?" Usopp asks in disbelief. Zoro just shrugged him off and leaped overboard. Sanji made his way to the ship's edge. ship.

"Hey, Zoro. Wait up." Zoro stops and listened to the cook.

"You know where kinda short on food, right?" Sanji asked. "If you find any animals that appear edible, bring 'em back."

"Okay." Zoro said.

"That's easy. I can see why you'd wanna send me 'cause I could bring back something you couldn't catch yourself."

"What the hell does that mean!?" Zoro snarled. "I won't let that remark go unchallenged. Your saying you can capture bigger game than I can, like my hunting skills are inferior?"

"Yeah, that's right." Zoro smirked. Both of them glared at each other with sparks of electricity between them.

"Challenge accepted." Sanji agreed. Okay, winner brings back the most pounds of meat."

"What do you mean pounds cause I'll bring back tons!" Zoro declared.

"Why don't you let your hunting do your talking for you?" Sanji asked.

"Heh..." Zoro snorted. "Good luck, cook." So, Zoro and Sanji take off from the ship, leaving Nami and Usopp a bit freaked out.

"I'll never understand those two. Why do they have to be so competitive?" Nami whined.

"Don't cry. If it'll make you feel better, I'm just as stumped by their behavior as you." Usopp said. She and Usopp sat in the ship on their knees. They heard animal noises wolves and tigers. Usopp turns to Nami crying. Their friends

"We're sitting ducks!"

"Don't you think I already know that?" Nami let out a scream, then took a deep breath. As she was lost in thought, something suddenly came to mind. She runs off to the storage room, leaving a bewildered Usopp.

"Nami?" She ignored him and looks through her books in the book case.

"Hmm, that's not it." She said while tossing some books. Usopp sees her flipping through another and tossing them. Usopp dodges the books she was throwing.

"Nami, what're you looking for?"

"Quiet!" Nami scolded him. "I remember reading something in a book."

"Reading about what?" inquired Usopp.

"Little Garden..."


Naruto, Luffy, and Vivi proceeded to explore the remaining parts of the island. Luffy's attention was suddenly captured by something in the water. Naruto stops his tracks and walked to Luffy.

"What is it, Luffy?"

"It's some kind of squid." Luffy announced. He showed him a squid's face that was attached to a snail. The four of them then hears an explosion. The noise caused the Duck to quack.


Sanji strolled through the forest, his hands tucked into his pockets. Suddenly, he halted in his path, arriving at a conclusion. "I've got a feeling that someone's been following me for a while," he told himself. "Nah, couldn't be." What he doesn't know is that a Tyrannosaurus Rex was stealthily approaching from behind. Upon turning, he gazes at the creature with composure. The dinosaur attempted to bite him, yet Sanji evaded the attack and fixed it with a stern glare.

"Can't you see that I'm busy?" He snapped. The dinosaur bellowed menacingly at the cook and charged toward him. However, Sanji delivered a powerful kick, rendering the dinosaur unconscious. The Dinosaur fell on his back.


Zoro happened to run into a Triceratops that was eyeing him. He looked right back at it, sizing it up, and wondering if its skin would make a good meal.

"I don't know what you're supposed to be but I'm guessing you're edible." He tells it.


Sakura stumbled upon a bunch of herbs, spices, and plants that she could put to use in her remedies.

She bent down to inspect a patch of bright green leaves, her fingers brushing against them gently. "Hmm, these might do," she murmured to herself, pulling out a small pouch from her belt to collect she adding the herbs in her vials, she was humming the song she and Naruto danced too the other night. Just as she was about to make her leave towards the Going Merry, she caught a sound. It was a deep rumble, kind of like thunder, but it seemed to be coming from further inside the forest. She stopped, curiosity making her brow wrinkle. She glanced around, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.

Her gaze fell on a dark opening in the side of a nearby hill. It was a cave, hidden behind a curtain of ivy. The sound seemed to be coming from there. She hesitated for a moment, then shrugged. "Might as well check it out," she said to herself, stepping towards the cave.

The entrance was dark, but she could see a faint glow coming from within. She stepped inside, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. The cave was larger than it had first appeared, with stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites rising from the floor. The walls were covered in luminescent moss, casting an ethereal glow over everything.

Just as she was about to leave, satisfied with her discovery, she felt it. The ground below her trembled slightly, like the earth was taking a deep breath. Her eyes widened in surprise. "What's happening?" she whispered.

Before she could act, the ground shook harder. She stumbled, catching herself on a nearby stalagmite as the rumble grew, echoing like a drum. She tried to make a run for it, but it was too late. The entrance caved in, with boulders crashing down and blocking her way out.

"Oh no," she gasped, her heart racing. She was trapped.


Naruto, Luffy and Vivi runs through the jungle for more exploring then Luffy stops his tracks and spotted something unusual.

"Huh, that's weird. What's a sea king doing on land?" Both Naruto and Vivi looks up and gasped.

"I-it's a dinosaur!" She shouted. Both Naruto and Luffy, however got excited.

"Awesome!"

"Somehow this island has been frozen in time! It's stuck in the age of the dinosaurs!" Vivi explained. Naruto put his hands behind his back.

"Wow, The Grand Line can be cool." He said as Vivi continues to explain.

"Travel in the Grand Line is so difficult, no species ever migrated between islands so their ecosystems were preserved. Some of these islands have developed extremely sophisticated cultures while others remain in a sort of evolutionary stagnation with little to no progression to several thousand years!" Luffy stretches his arms and clings onto the Brontosarus and grabbing it's neck. Naruto glared and crossed his arms.

"Lucky bastard." However, Vivi was more annoyed at what Luffy just did.

"Are you insane?" She asked with white eyes and sharp teeth. It reminds him of Sakura. Speaking of which he suddenly felt something cold and look behind. He has this feeling that Sakura is trouble.


Nami came out of the storage room holding a brown book. She turns to see Usopp on the front of the deck.

"Usopp, Usopp." Usopp turns to see his friend calling.

"Nami, what now? Did you find your book yet?"

"Uh-huh." She confirmed in a concerned voice.


The T-Rex Sanji fought, stood back up shaking up and growled at the cook who was smoking his cigarette.

"You're a rude son of a bitch!" Sanji dashed at the T-Rex, and avoids its bite. He then leaps into the air, and delivered a solid kick right to the dinosaur's skull, knocking him down to its death. He smirked.

"Let's you find one bigger, Moss-head."


Zoro was still having an eye-to-eye against the triceratops who returns its glare. Zoro knows that this could be the key to him winning his bet against Sanji.

"We both use Three-sword style." Zoro said, referencing his swords. The triceratops stars at the swordsman who puts one sword in his teeth and holds onto the other two. Zoro wastes no time and charges at the dinosaur, He slashes it with with swords and lands behind it. He puts them away, hearing the dinosaur to tip over and fall down. Zoro looks behind and smiled.

"See if you can beat that, cook."


"This is bad." Nami said. "This island..."

"What? What's wrong?" Asked Usopp. They hear some rumbling. Nami's eyes widen as she turned around and whimpered with a fake smile. Usopp too was whimpering. They then screamed in terror and Nami dropped the book.

"To those that reside here and call this island home, it must seem as though they have stumbled up on their very own private garden. Thus I have aptly named this wondrous, terrifying place, Little Garden."


Luffy was hanging onto the brontosarus. Vivi was still protesting for him to get off. Suddenly he felt a shiver.

"Why do I have a feeling that Nami is in trouble?"


Nami/Usopp: A Giant!

Usopp: Pretend we're dead.

Nami: Doesn't that work on bears?

Sakura: I gotta find a way to get out of here!

Luffy: Whoo-hoo! Say are you human?

Naruto: I gotta find Sakura to make sure she's all right.

Zoro: With a big catch like this... Zoro/Sanji: I 'm the winner!

Nami/Usopp: Duel?

Naruto: On the next Shiniboi X Strawhat... Huge Duel: The giants Dorry and Broggy! I"m gonna be Hokage.

Luffy: And I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!


Yep, they are at the land of Giants. And I agree with Naruto. Talk about false advertisement. Anyway, Little Garden will be short. I hope you like the mini-LuNami moments because there will be more. And don't worry, Sakura fans, I plan to have Sakura have her moment. Until then, enjoy this chapter.
