A/N I don't own Naruto or One Piece. Like last chapter I made some changes and I plan to do it here, too. Like the stupid Luffy and Zoro fight is not happening. I'm making Luffy slightly smarter. Don't worry, he and Naruto are still lovable idiots.

Igaram shoots at the Real Baroque Works agents and turns to the princess now known as Vivi.

"PRINCESS! YOU HAVE TO ESCAPE!"

"Igaram!" Vivi cried out to the fellow imposter. Mr. 5, feeling no bullets on him and flicks a projectile at the curly haird man and caused an explosion. Vivi and Mr. 9 saw in terror as the smoke cleared. Igaram stood for a second before fainting.

"Igaram!" Vivi cried.

"Don't bother!" Miss Valentine called. Vivi looks up and sees her hovering with her umbrella and lands to kick Vivi who dodged. Luckily for Vivi, she hit her hair accessory making her flow down to her. She brings out her string and swings at Miss Valentine who dodged. Miss Valetine returned to her position with Mr. 5 looking at Inagram ly ing down. Vivi stared at the bounty hunters with rage.

"Dirty monsters!" She growled.

"You mean you're really a princess, Ms. Wednesday? Oh, wow!" Mr. 9 asked his partner. Vivi looks back at him with an annoyed look.

"A very busy princess!" She cried. She hears a moaning sound.

"P-princess Vivi.." Igaram slowly called. Vivi turns around in worry.

"Oh, Igaram, you're hurt."

"Vivi, please…forget about me. You must get away from here! For our homeland." Vivi couldn't believe what he just said. Sakura listened and turned to Naruto. Naruto nods then they look at Mr. 5 picking his nose which disgusts Sakura.

"Really?" She asked with a sweatdrop. "That's more disgusting when Naruto does it.

"If you think you can escape from us , you're mistaken." Mr. 5 threatened. Vivi growled and pulls out her peacock slashers.

"Let's see if you can take me!" Vivi sneered. Mr. 9 jumped in front to them holding his bat against Mr. 9 and Miss Valentine.

"This whole princess thing is really confusing but we've been fighting together for a long time, so get going. I'm going to buy you some time!" Vivi looks at him gratefully.

"Thank you, Mr. 9." She said. Mr. 9 chuckles.

""Pretty manly of me, don't you think? Bye-bye, baby!" He cartwheels his way towards Mr. 5 who pulls something out of his nose. Sakura narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"All that is asked of us as agents is to do our jobs and to do them well. Forming such pathetic friendships is for the weak. it's time that you learned that. My Nose Fancy…"

"Bloody bat!"

"...Canon!" Mr. 9 got closer to Mr. 5 and began to swing his bat at him. Unfortunately, the booger turns out to be a snot ball as it sends him flying out to the water. Vivi gasps in horror.

"Oh, no... Mr. 9." Zoro comes down to join Naruto and the others who looked shocked as he did.

"Did that just come out of his nose?" Naruto asked. He then hears a whimpering and looks down to see Igaram holding on to his leg.

"Hey, what are are you doing?" He asked.

"Ninja, I have a request..."

"A request?" Naruto inquired. "I have a most unreasonable request, but I need someone with strength such as yours! Both of those villains possess Devil Fruit powers, and there's nothing I can do to stop them! That is why I'm begging you now: Protect Vivi of Alabasta in my place! Please!" Mr. 5 went back into picking his nose while Miss Valentine laughs. Vivi knows what they can do, gets on her bird and carries it saddle.

"Karoo, run!" The bird turned around and got out of their sight. However, it didn't faze the two villains.

"And off she goes!" Ms. Valentine

"She won't get very far. Let's go, Ms. Valentine!"

"Right behind you, Mr. 5." They left to chase the princess, leaving Naruto, Sakura and the others behind. Luffy scratched his head.

"So... they were the bad guys? We're not beating them up because they didn't make the food we liked." Naruto sighed.

"Yes, Luffy. They were the bad guys. They were giving us this party just so they could kill us." He explains. Luffy picked his nose for a brief minute before he pounded his palm hand.

"Oh, that makes sense." Nami sighed and turned to Igaram.

"So... about this reward..." She points at him wihile smirking. "I'll take it... How does a million Berries sound?"

"Nami!" Sakura scolded. "We don't ask for rewards to help people!" Nami didn't listen to Sakura there. Instead she turned back to the Alabasta captain.

"So why don't you go ahead and promise us that one billion berry reward, huh captain? Cuz if we don't agree to help your precious princess, then she's probably gonna die."

"Nami!" Sakura frowned.

" I'm just a simple Soldier." Igaram said in a Wheezily voice. " I cannot promise such an immense reward." Nami crouches down smirking.

"Hmm... Surely you aren't suggesting that your princess' life is worth less than that. Right?" Igaram's face dropped. Luffy crouches down with Nami.

"Yeah... give us some meat as well!" Both Naruto and Sakura both put their head down in frustration.

"Does Nami have to ask for money?" Sakura muttered with her right hand on her forehead.

"Sakura, we need some money for the ship and stuff." Nami defended.

"I can't promise anything! But if you're willing to deliver the princess to Alabasta, then you had best negotiate the terms of the reward directly with her!" Igaram voiced. He is hoping they pull off their deal. Nami straightens and strokes her hair.

"Oh all right, I'll go ahead and save your darling princess for now." Hearing that made Igaram sighed with relief.

"Sakura, Luffy and I will go get her. You just get Sanji and Usopp and bring them to ship." Naruto said as they run off Nami nodded then turns to Zoro and pointed at their reaction.

"Well Zoro, go get her!" Nami ordered. Zoro's eyes went white eyes and glared.

"Screw that, no! "If you want to make money, then fine! But you don't involve me in it. Besides, Luffy, Naruto and Sakura can take care of it!"

"Maybe so..." Nami said. "But the money I make is certainly mine, but the contracts that I land benefit all of us. Why can you both not see that?"

"Do you seriously expect me to buy into that crap?!" Zoro snaps at the navigator.

"What? All you two really have to do here is beat up a few guys." Nami pointed out. ""Besides, did you forget? You still owe me some money from a while back."

"What?" Zoro inquired. "I don't owe you anything."

"Yeah, I lent you 100,000 berries for some swords in Loguetown."

"And I gave you the 100,000 back almost right away..."

While Nami and Zoro were fighting, Vivi was escaping with Karoo to find a ship.

"Run quickly! Run Karoo! There's a ship docked right behind the cactus rocks we're going to take and escape from this place! And then we'll be on our way to Alabasta!" Suddenly, an explosion happened. Vivi stopped and halted the bird. She looks gives a closer to look and gasped horrifically that Mr. 5 caught up to them.

"Oh, no... Mr. 5 is here." She turns them to another direction. Miss Valentine laughs while floating on a box of crates. On her way, she sees that a familiar bounty hunter arrived.

"Miss Monday!" She was expecting a fight against her former ally but Miss Monday points behind her back.

"Go on, you can reach the ships through here. I'll stay here and hold off the others."

"You sure?" She walks right past her holding a log.

"After losing to the swordsmen and the ninjas, we're all going to be punished for failing our mission anyway. At least if I do that, I can go down while helping to protect a friend. " Vivi looks at her. It was clear that she did not want to abandon her friend. "Well, what are you waiting around here for?! If you get killed or captured, Mr. 8 and Mr.9 will have sacrificed themselves for nothing! Now get going!" Vivi was touched by her sacrifice and turned around before telling Miss Monday...

"Thank you," Vivi said as she makes her escape. Miss Monday turns to Mr. 5.

"Tsk tsk. First Mr. 9 and now you." He said as he rolled up his sleeve. "Miss Monday..."

"I am not gonna let you pass! Because I made a promise to a friend" The muscled former Barques works agent vowed. Miss Valentine laughs at her threat.

"That's a adorable." She giggled. Mr.5 runs to his opponent with a raised fist.

"YOU"RE AN UTTER DISGRACE!" He yelled. Miss Monday swings her log to hit her opponent but he teleported away and uppercuts her. Vivi turns around and watches in horror.

"IN THE NAME OF BAROQUE WORKS!" He shouted and caused an explosion. Vivi heard the explosion from behind and turned around in horror to see her friend being covered in flames. Vivi was in distraught. Once the fire cleared, Vivi glared at Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine with anger.

"How could they?" Mr. 5 chuckles with no remorse.

"That's why they called me the bomb man." He grinned. " You see, I can make any part of my body explode from my Bomb-Bomb fruit powers. There hasn't been a single mission that I failed to complete." Vivi looks up to see Miss Valentine floating in the air with her umbrella.

"And thanks to the Kilo-Kilo Fruit power that I possess, I can bury that traitor in Ms. Monday in the ground forever. I can change how much I weigh whenever I want. Right now, I'm light enough to be lifted by a slight breeze. but I think it's time I start gaining weight!" She descends slowly

"5 kilograms…50 kilograms...100...500...1000...10,000 KILOGRAM PRESS!" She lands on Miss Monday, causing the ground to crack. Smoke came out for a brief moment before it cleared off. Vivi whimpered after seeing her friend get demolished.

"So, do you really still think you can escape from us?" Miss Valentine asked while she stands next to Mr. 5.

"You don't have a chance of getting out of here in one piece." Vivi bites her lip and looks at her friend all covered in the ground.

"I will survive. I will escape. I will make it back home to Alabasta Kingdom!" Mr. 5 picks his nose in response. He didn't hear footsteps running. He then flicks his nose towards Vivi.

"Take this..." He throws his mucus towards Vivi and it would have hit her... if it weren't for Zoro cutting it into pieces. the mucus pieces exploded behind them. Vivi was shocked to see who it was that saved her.

"Mr. Boshido!" She hears someone jumps to them. It was Naruto and Sakura holding some daggers.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shinobi? You're here?" Sakura smirked at the princess.

"We came to help."

"Wha..." Before she could ask more questions... all of them heard...

"GUM-GUM... GATLING!" Mr. 5 and Miss Wednesday turned around and before they know it, Stretched arms punched them rapidly, hitting them until they were knocked down Vivi stars down in shock. She looks up to see Luffy's arc stretch back to him.

"Unbelievable... he took down one Baroque works agent in a single punch. She turns to Naruto, Sakura, and Zoro.

"I don't understand. Why did you save me?" Luffy joined them and they looked at each other and nodded. Sakura used her hand.

"Come with me... Inagram will explain."

"Wow... that was an amazing punch!" Naruto screamed.

"Yeah, I know!" Nami turns to them with annoyance.

"Guys, shut up!" She yelled before turning to Vivi with a smile. "Well, there it is... n exchange for taking you home I would like one billion Berries." Sakura glared at her friend before looking at Vivi putting her head down. She sits next to her hand puts her hand in support.

"Hey, we can protect you. We're strong enough to take these guys.'

"Sakura's right. You saw how strong these three guys are? If you ask me, it isn't a bad deal."

"No I can't." Vivi refused. "But I appreciate the help you've given me so far."

"Why not? Nami asked. "You're a Princess after all. So, aren't you rich?" Vivi turned to Nami.

"Do any of you know anything about the Alabasta Kingdom?"

"No." Nami said.

"Can't say I have. We got to this world about 3 months ago." Naruto said. Vivi looked at him confusingly then brushes it off.

"Alabasta is a great nation." Vivi began. "A peaceful Kingdom. At least it used to be."

"Used to be?" Sakura asked.

"We're in the middle of a civil war." Vivi explained. In recent years, signs of discontent began to appear. Finally, the people revolted, and the Kingdom fell into utter chaos. Then one day I learned of a secret organization... called Baroque works! found out our people were being manipulated by this organization but that was the only information I could gather about them. I didn't know what to do so I went to Igaram for help. You see, he's kept a close eye on me ever since I was a child."

"The guy that used the Saxaphone as a weapon?" Naruto asked. Vivi nodded.

"Yes." Vivi confirmed. "I asked him if he would help me to infiltrate Baroque Works so I could see who was pulling their strings behind the scenes and what exactly they were up to."

"Wow... you got guts." Naruto praised. "You're as brave as my girlfriend here." Sakura blushed before turning back to Vivi.

"So did you find out their plan was?" Vivi nodded.

"To create an ideal nation. Is that what you found out?"

"It's not." Vivi confirmed. "That was only the cover story. That was only the cover story the boss was using It's a lie to cover their tracks. Their true goal is to take over Alabasta Kingdom!" The Princess told them.

"A villain pretending to be the good guy just to take over." Naruto said this while crossing his arms. "Never heard that before."

"I have to get back somehow to warn everybody! To tell them the truth a-and to stop the fighting! If I don't do something, if I don't tell them…"

"Then your country is finished..." Sakura finished. She hears Vivi sobbing her eyes. She tested her hand on her back in comfort.

"Okay, I get it." Nami sighed. "I see how it is. Yeah, it's all starting to make sense now. Suppose you wouldn't have much money around during a civil war."

"Hey!" Luffy cuts in. "Did you find out who's charge?" Vivi gasped after hearing that question. Naruto stood up and pounces his hand.

"We take care of whoever it is." He declared. He turns to Luffy with a glance. Luffy smiled back, knowing he and Naruto are strong enough to kick the boss's ass. However Vivi panicked.

"What? The boss's identity? You shouldn't ask that."

"But you know, don't you?" Luffy asked.

"Ask me anything but that!" Vivi raised her arms with panic. Sakura could see that she is frightened. Whoever he is, must be really dangerous. Nami laughed.

"Yeah, I'll pass. This guy is trying to take over an entire country after all! I don't really want someone like that chasing after me, thank you!"

"No you don't!" Vivi said. "I don't care how strong you people are! You wouldn't stand a chance against him! One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Against Crocodile!" There was silence in the area. Vivi and Nami both gasped. Nami because their lives are in jeopardy and Vivi because she disclosed his name. Sakura worries about this, but she remains composed; however, Naruto and Luffy become animated. Zoro, however, went irritated.

"You'd had to say it." Zoro said. Suddenly familiar faces to Vivi were on top of the roof. It was the same otter in suit wearing sunglasses and purple spotted outfit. They then fly off. Nami turns to Vivi and shakes her violently.

WHY DID I JUST SEE A BIRD AND SEA OTTER!?" She asked with shark teeth and white eyes. "WHERE DID THEY FLY OFF TO!?"

"Hey a Warlord? That's Cool, huh Naruto?"

"Yeah!" Naruto grinned.

"Naruto!" Sakura scolded. "This is serious. Her country is in danger." She then hears Nami crying.

"Being hunted by a Warlord of the Grand Line! It's more than I can handle!" She teared with her hands.

"I'm scared too, Nami." Sakura stated. "But we'll be fine as long as we stick together."

"So when do we get to see this guy?" Zoro hums.

"I wonder what he looks like!" Luffy said gleefully.

"Maybe a real crocodile!" Naruto said. "I faced a snake before so I can handle a crocodile."

"SHUT UP YOU!" Nami seethed and leaves the group. "It's been nice knowing you idiots!" She turned to Sakura. "Sakura, I hope you and Naruto find your way home."

"They don't know what I look like yet! I'M LEAVING!" Nami comes to a halt in her tracks when something blocks her path. It was the sea otter and buzzard. The otter was drawing soemething in a sketchbook. He revealed to Nami his drawing's. First it Nami with a smile on her face, the second was Luffy with a bored expression,Zoro with a confused expression. Naruto with a Thumbs up and a wink and Sakura smirking. Nami claps nervously.

"Wow, that's so lifelike!" She cried nervously. She turns back as the unluckies fly back.

"No use leaving, now." Nami muttered as she walked back.

"I'm sorry." Vivi apologized.

"She'll get over it..." Luffy said.

"Where was she going, anyway?" Zoro asked. He then smirked. "Looks like the five of us are gonna be sitting right at the very top Baroque Works hit-list."

"Shishishi!" Luffy laughed. "That's sounds awesome!"

"No, it's not!" Sakura protested before offering Nami comfort. Vivi joined the comfort.

"I do have 500,000 berries in savings that I could give you." She offers nervously.

"You have nothing to fear!" The Sextet looked up to see Ingaram... dressed as Vivi. He the same green coat and stripped shirt like hers. He was also holding 5 dummies.

"Igaram?" Vivi said, walking up to him. "What are you..."

"That's a really funny outfit, old guy." Luffy laughed.

"An entire parade full of idiots..." Nami mumbled. "Except for Sakura."

"Please listen to me carefully, once Baroque Works intelligence network learns what happened here. Agents will be sent after you immediately and since they're aware that you've learned the boss' true identity. You must..."

"Yes. Knowing them they'll send a thousand agents after me." Vivi says, Nami flinched.

"Thus, my plan. Disguise like this, I will pretend to be you. I'll take these three dummies on board with me and sail a straight course to Alabasta."

"So these things are us?" Naruto asked while poking these dummies.

"A decoy... that's clever planning." Sakura said.

"While Baroque Works is busy chasing after me the rest of you will head with Vivi to Alabasta Kingdom." Igaram said. "Following a less direct route."

"Hold on just a second!" Nami cuts in and they all turned to her. "Who said we were going to take her with us? We still haven't discussed the matter of payment."

"Payment for what?" Luffy questioned.

"Have you been listening Luffy?" Naruto asked. "The old man wants us to take the princess back home."

"Igaram wants us to take Vivi back home to her Kingdom." Jou said also standing up.

"Oh, is that what all this yelling is about?" Luffy said. "Sure thing."

"CROCODILE MAY ALREADY BE AFTER US!" Nami protested with sharp teeth.

"Calm down, Nami." Sakura said nervously. Luffy turned to the crossdressed man.

"Is this crocodile guy really that dangerous?"

"One of the 7 warlords of the seas." Ingaram explained.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Seas. He is a legally recognized pirate. And because of that fact, there is no bounty on his head. However, long ago his Bounty was worth 80,000,000 million berries."

"Whoa." Naruto awed. Nami, was stunned to here the price.

"80,000,000!? That's FOUR TIMES ARLONG'S BOUNTY!" THERE'S NO WAY!"

"Will you do this for us?" Igraham Both Naruto and Luffy nodded.

"Sure, it's sounds like fun." Luffy said. Naruto gives a thumbs up.

"We promise she'll be there safely... that's my pirate way!" He declarred. Sakura smiled at Naruto's determination while Nami facepalms.

"We are forever grateful." Igaram smiled.

"Ma-ma-ma. Now, I Vivi will leave from here." Igaram said in a falsetto voice. Luffy laughs. He and crew are standing along the shore.

"That's a good imitation, old guy."

"Imitation of who?" Asked Naruto. "I imitated girls before and that was terrible."Sakura facepalms, remembering his sexy-no-jutsu. Thankfully the straw hats can't see it. Igaram puts out his hand.

"Princess, give me your log pose." Igaram said. Vivi nods even though she seemed hesitant reaches for her pocket and hands the said item.

"What's a eternal pose?" Nami asked while leaning next to a wall. Igaram turns to her.

"You mean you never heard of it? You could say it's a a permanent version of the log pose. Whereas a Log Pose will always lead sailors to the next Island on the course an Eternal Pose will forever remember the magnetic energy of the island that's stored inside it. So it will always point to that island and none other and this Eternal Pose is set to Alabasta Kingdom."

"And your going to use this to set your course home?" Vivi asked. Igaram was silent for a moment then answered her.

"Please take the indirect island hopping route to Alabasta. I have never gone that way myself but you should only have to pass two or three islands if you follow the log. Please, take care of the Princess in my absence?"

"We will." Naruto vowed.

"Inagaram." Vivi sadly said. The crossdressed bodyguard looks down at princess with a sad smile.

"I expect that your journey is going to be a different one. Please be careful." She was about to say something but stopped. Her lips turned up and she shook her bodyguard's hands.

"See ya soon." She said. After saying their goodbyes, they watch him sailing sailing off in his ship. Once he was out of their sight, Luffy raised his arms.

"And off he goes!" He said.

"That guy was strange but he seems reliable." Naruto said.

"Yes." Vivi agreed with on the latter. She and her new allies watch the boat set sail. Abruptly... An explosion came from the ship. flames started bursting through the ship. Zoro's eyes widen, Luffy gasped as he hat fell from the explosion. Nami watched in horror and Naruto held Sakura for comfort.

"Oh, no." Nami cried. She and other then witness a his eternal pose falling to the sea .

"They're already after us?" Nami inquired. "That's impossible." Luffy turns around angrily and places his hat back on his head. He huffed then growls in anger that Igaram is dead. Zoro turns to Nami.

"Nami, the log?" He asked."We're fine it's all set!" Nami said.

"Get the girl! Come on, let's go!" Zoro said and runs off. Naruto joins him. Sakura was about to join them but she turns at Vivi who is still standing there. She and Nami both looked at each other and nodded and walks to Vivi.

"C'mon, Vivi." Sakura said. "Snap out of it.

"Sakura's right." We have to leave! If they get us now it will all be for nothing!" Vivi said nothing. Instead, she bit her bottom lip and blood came out. Sakura's eyes lowered and she and Nami both hugged Vivi.

"Don't worry, we are going to get you home." Sakura said. Nami nodded in agreement.

"Now look." Nami spoke. "We may not look like it but we are strong. "Don't worry we are going to get you home! I know they don't look like much but they're strong! They saved the East Blue! Just the five of us! Baroque Works?! Give me a break! Crocodile!? Hah! "

"I also face many dangerous foes in my world." Sakura then releases the hug and smiles at Vivi. Vivi turns to Nami, who nods in response. Vivi nods in return and follows them to the Going Merry.

Both Naruto and Luffy rushes back to the bar. Luffy kicks the door to see Sanji and Usopp sleeping. Naruto joins him and grabs Sanji's leg while Luffy took a hold of Usopp's nose, they accidently crashed the wall and makes their way.

"Ow, ow, ow..." Usopp cried.

"Hey, what the hell, Naruto? What's going on?"

"Oh, Shut up!" Naruto spat out.

"My Nose is gonna fall off!" Usopp complained. Back at the other side of the shore, Sakura, Nami and Vivi runs off to the ship.

"Hurry, Vivi!" Sakura said.

"Coming." Vivi breathed. She looks left and right. Sakura and Nami stopped. Back at the Merry, Zoro was bringing the anchor up.

"Hey, we got them!" Naruto called out as he and Luffy arrived with Usopp and Sanji.

"Bring 'em up. We're ready to go!" Zoro said.

"Right..." Naruto said and turns to see them out cold.

"They're still asleep?" Luffy asked. Naruto was about to say they're unconscious, but they heard Nami, Sakura and Vivi arguing.

"We don't have time to look for him!" Nami said to Vivi. Sakura nodded.

"Sorry Vivi, but we gotta get a move on."

"I'm not going to just leave him here!" Vivi protested

"Hey, what's wrong?" Questioned Naruto.

"Apparently her duck's gone missing!" Sakur answered. "And now she's refusing to leave without him!"

"You mean this duck?" Zoro asked as Karoo appeared.

"He's here?!" All three women groaned.

"Made it here before I did." Zoro commented.

"There's a tributary just up the river." Vivi said as she climbed the ladder with the other two ladies. "If we take it we can get up to the sea faster."

"All right, let's go!" Luffy ordered as Naruto set the sail and they take off. Vivi sat with her duck Karoo in mourning of their friend.

"Hey..." A voice called her. She turned to see Sakura walking to her.

"Mrs. Shinobi."

"Do you know how many of these guys are after us?"

"I'm not sure." Vivi said "I know that there are about two-thousand loyal employees in Baroque Works and I heard that there are several bases like this one that are set up in the area." Nami sits on the rail in frustration.

"They really might send a thousand people!?" She asked. She heard groaning.

The ship's leaving!?"

"You're finally awake." Nami said.

"Hold on a second!" Sanji said. "Can't we stay just one more night!?

"Hold on a second! Can't we stay just one more night?!" Sanji demands.

"One night!"

"This town is full of amazingly cute girls!"

"Who knows when we'll ever have this much fun again!"

"Even pirates deserve a vacation!" Zoro, Naruto and Sakura listened, feeling annoyed.

"We should have left these two idiots." Sakura said. She heard a couple of punches. "Nami, did you explain it to them?"

"I just did." Nami smirked. "But I just left out the complicated parts." Naruto walks up to get closer look. He cringed to see them both lying down with bonks on the head.

"We should be there by morning." Vivi speculated.

"Hey, cool. Look at the fog!" Luffy exclaimed with awe.

"It's getting light out." Nami said with a relief.

"I'm just glad we got away from the people chasing us." A voice called. Sakura quirked an eyebrow.

"That's for sure." Nami agreed.

"With all this fog, we need to be careful to avoid the rocks." The voice warned.

"I'll take care of it!" Nami smirked. She then realized something she turned to Sakura.

"Did you..."

"Nope." Sakura answered. She turned to Vivi who shook her head too. Nami laughed nervously. They turned to face a black-haired woman with piercing blue eyes; she had a slight tan and was dressed in purple Indian-style clothes, complete with a matching purple hat and boots.

"This ship is nice." She complimented in a calm cool voice. Nami velped and Vivi gasped. Sakura growled and raised her left fist.

"Who's that?" Asked Zoro who is holding his sword.

"It's... it's you!" Vivi glared. The woman's eyes wiggled. She softly chuckled evilly.

"I just happened to run into your dear Mr.8 a little ways back..." The woman said. "He didn't look so good." Vivi glared. This woman caused the fire.

"So you killed Igaram." She accused.

"You!" Luffy pointed at her. "Who are you and what are you doing at my ship and how did you get here?"

"Answer him." Vivi ordered. "What are you you doing here!? Miss All Sunday!"

"Vivi, you know this chick?" Naruto asked. Vivi nodded. "Then who is her partner?"

"Her partner is Mr.0." Vivi said. "The boss."

"CROCODILE'S HER PARTNER!?" Nami exclaimed.

"So she's a bad guy?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy, she killed the old guy and probably millions of people. Of course she's a bad guy." Naruto said.

"To be accurate, I allowed it." Crocodile's partner admitted.

"So she's a good guy then." Luffy said. Naruto gives him a incredulous look. He then takes a look at closer look at her... he sees something inside her that seems... sad. He knows that feeling.

"All right, so she is bad." Luffy said. Zoro looks at him annoyed with his arms crossed.

"Luffy would you cut it out?"

"You still haven't told us what you are doing here." Sakura said. "Explain!" Miss All Sunday frowned and explained.

"You were just so serious about the whole thing that I couldn't help myself. A Princess doing whatever it would take to help her country. Or making herself an enemy of Baroque Works. The idea was just so... ridiculous." She finished with another smile. Vivi's eyes widened.

"YOU KILLLED HIM!" She exclaimed. Usopp and Sanji both appeared on the rail next to Miss All Sunday. Sanji aims his gun while Usopp readies his slingshot. Zoro unsheathed his sword and Nami brings out a staff. Naruto and Sakura aims with their daggers. However, Miss Sudnay hasn't budged an inch. Usopp turns to Sanji.

"Sanji, um...You do realize what you're doing, right?" He asked.

"Nope. Not a c"Why does he act this way toward women all the time? lue." Sanji said. "I just know the beautiful Miss Wednesday needs me." Miss All Sunday frowns and closes her eyes.

"I would really appreciate it if you would..." Suddenly something pushed Sanji and Usopp out of the rail. "Stop pointing those at me!" Nami felt something pushed her ands to drop her staff. Sakura gasped.

"She's eaten..." Vivi said.

"A devil fruit." Zoro confirmed.

"But which one? What's her power?" Nami asked. Sanji recovers. He was about to glare at her but then his eyes turned into hearts.

"Wow... Now that I get a look! You're beautiful!" Sakura shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Why is he always like this around women? I'm just glad Lady Tsunade isn't here or I might feel sorry for him." Miss All Sunday ignored his compliment and turned to the heroes.

"There's no need to get so excited. You can all calm down. I haven't been given any orders to follow here. I've no reason to fight you." Luffy's hat then comes off and Miss All Sunday catches it.

"So you're the captain..." She asked then she turns to Naruto in a flirtatious smirk. "And you must his first mate. You look more handsome than your bounty photo." Naruto blushed while Sakura glared. "I've heard so much about you. Monkey D. Luffy... Uzumaki Naruto."Naruto let out a low growl when he heard her mention his name. Luffy flailed his arms around, clearly frustrated.

"GIVE ME MY HAT BACK, YOU! DO YOU WANT ME TO COME UP THERE AND TAKE IT?!" Luffy threatened. Nami puts her hand on his back to calm him down.

"You are a bad person. I demand that you leave this istand" Usopp said from behind the mast. Miss All Sunday places the hat on her head with a smirk.

"Bad luck. Picking up a princess who Baroque Works has already made up their mind to see eliminated. Protected by a mere handful of pirates."

Picking up a Princess who Baroque Works who has already made up their mind to see eliminated. Protected by a mere handful of Pirates. But your luck gets even worse, because of the direction your Log Pose is indicating. You see...?" Nami stares at her log pose.

"The name of the next island is 'Little Garden'. We won't even need to lift a finger. You'll all be dead long before you reach Alabasta."

"MY HAT! GIVE IT TO ME!" Luffy shouted.

"I-I told you to leave now evil... doer." Usopp threatened while still hiding behind the mast.

"Evil doer? Seriously?" Naruto asked with a deadpan face. Miss All Sunday turns to Vivi

"Don't you think it's a little bit foolish? Allowing yourselves to be wiped out? She hands both Luffy his hat back and Vivi an hourglass that looked familiar to them.

"An eternal pose?"

"Using that you can skip right past Little Garden without stopping." Miss All Sunday said. "Straight to an island near Alabasta. The pose points to a place known as Naninonaishima. None of our agents know that course so you won't be followed."

"What? So she's good after all?" Nami asked.

"I doubt this. It could be a trap." Sakura suggested. Miss All Sunday smirked.

"Oh, does it?" She asked. Vivi looks down at the Eternal pose with concern.

"What am I supposed to do? I don't want to accept a gift from someone like her. But these people have taken me on their ship. The safest coarse might be best." Luffy takes the Eternal out of Vivi's hands.

"Forget your thingy!" Luffy shouted. "We don't need it!" He crushes it, leaving Vivi, Nami, and Sakura stunned with white eyes, while Naruto shook his head, knowing Luffy well over the past weeks.

"He's a lot like me in some ways." He then sees Nami kicking Luffy in the face.

"You Jerk!" She seethed. "SHE JUST WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO SHOW US AN EASIER COURSE TO FOLLOW! MAYBE SHE ACTUALLY IS TRYING TO HELP US GET AWAY!"

"You aren't the one who decides where this ship goes." Luffy and Miss Sunday exchanged glances before she smirked.

"Well, that's too bad." Miss All Sunday said. Luffy puts on his hat and glares at the Bounty hunter while Nami growls in frustration. Vivi stared at him, eyes wide with surprise.

"I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sorry you didn't accept my offer." Miss All Sunday said She stands up and makes her way out. "If you survive, I hope that we'll meet again."

"No!" Luffy refuted. She laughed before jumping out of the ship and landing on a saddle of some sort. Naruto took a closer look with narrowed eyes.

"Is that..." The others were thinking the same thing.

"A TURTLE!" They all exclaimed.

"That thing's huge!" Sakura said. She watches Vivi drop to her knees.

"That woman... I don't even have the slightest idea what's going through her head." Vivi teared.

"Then there's no point in thinking about it, is there?" Nami

"There's someone on this boat who's just like that." Zoro said talking his captain who was still staring at the turtle.

"Make that two!" Sakura joked with a smirk, glancing at her boyfriend. Naruto nodded at first, then caught on that she was teasing him.

"Hey!" he protested. Sakura laughed and planted a kiss on his cheek. Vivi couldn't help but coo at the scene. There was something about these two that really tugged at her heartstrings.

Would someone explain to me what's going on!?" Usopp shouted. "None of this makes sense!"

"Oh, Miss Wednesday have you joined our crew?" Sanji asked.

Once the fog lifted, they filled Sanji and Usopp in on everything that had happened.

"I see." Sanji said, he put the cigarette in his mouth. "It's too bad I missed out all on the fun, But it sounds as if there will be plenty of demand for my skills. No need to worry now that your sleeping prince is awoken, my sweet." Usopp, meanwhile was relieved that fell asleep.

"Whoa, glad that wasn't me." Sanji flashes a grin at Nami and Sakura.

"My dears, are you at least a bit jealous?"

"Nope!" Nami and Sakura said in unison. Naruto grinned, swept Sakura off her feet, and dipped her dramatically. He shot a glance at Sanji before leaning in to plant a kiss on Sakura, leaving Sanji to gasp and pass out.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry." Vivi cuts in. "But is it really all right that I'm on your ship? I'm just causing you a lot of trouble."

"It's no trouble at all." Sakura said as she put her hands on Vivi's shoulders. "We'll help you anyway you can."

"Yeah!" Her boyfriend agreed. "We'll make sure your country is safe." Vivi flashed a smile and wrapped her arms around Naruto. Naruto froze, caught off guard, and glanced over at Sakura. To his surprise, Sakura didn't feel the slightest bit jealous; instead, she just chuckled at everything going on. She turned her gaze towards the sea, with Nami right there beside her. Suddenly, they heard Luffy's voice booming...

"TO LITTLE GARDEN!" He shouted.

"Right!" They shouted back.

Luffy: So this is little Garden, huh?

Naruto: Something tells me the name is false advertising.

Usopp: Yeah, it looks like a jungle out there...

Sakura: This place gives me the creeps.

Sanji: Fear not Sakura... for I will... (Naruto punches him then he wipes his hands)

Luffy: I can smell Adventure in the air! On the next Shiniboi X Strawhat. An Ancient Island. The shadow hiding in Little Garden. I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

Naruto: And I'm gonna be Hokage!

And that ends Whisky Peak. Now it's time for Little Garden. Not gonna lie, it's one of the weaker ones but I am excited to have Sakura have her moment. What moment will it be? Oh... you'll find out. But until then, enjoy this chapter.
