Chapter 35 - Little Garden?

"Who is it this time!? Whose partner is she!?"

Nami questioned and turned to look at Vivi when she heard her announce the name of the woman.

"She's Mr.0 partner... she's the only one who knows the boss' true identity, which is why Igaram and I trailed after her to find out who the boss was as well!"

Vivi explained as she stared at Ms.All-Sunday intently with a nervous look.

"Well technically, it was more like I let you tail me"

Ms.All-Sunday stated as she smiled amusedly at the group.

"Oh, she's a good guy" Luffy stated.

"I already know that and I bet you're the one who told the boss that his identity was leaked" Vivi shouted.

"Oh, so she's a bad guy" Luffy stated.

"Just what exactly is your objective!?" Vivi questioned.

The Straw Hats waited for the woman to answer as she smiled at them with an amused look.

"Now, now... no need to get so worked up, I only let you follow me because you looked so desperate..."

Miss All-Sunday stated as she rebutted her statement with a calm smile on her face.

"...And it was just too amusing to observe, a single princess who foolishly thinks she can take on the entire Baroque Works organization and save her kingdom"

Miss All-Sunday continued as a grin formed on her face as she stared at Vivi.

Vivi shook in anger as she heard her and remembered her last moments with Igaram as she stared back at Miss All-Sunday intently.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Vivi shouted in anger as she looked at Miss All-Sunday with resentment.

The Straw Hats moved instantly as they took out their weapon as Usopp and Sanji appeared besides Miss All-Sunday with their weapon aimed at her while Luffy and Vivi only watched.

"Hey... do you understand what's going on...?" Usopp questioned.

"No... but I do know for sure, is that this woman is a threat to my lovely Miss Wednesday" Sanji answered.

"...Would you please mind, not pointing such a dangerous weapon at me?" Miss All-Sunday requested.

When Miss All-Sunday closed her eyes, Usopp and Sanji suddenly flipped away from her while Nami, Zoro and Kaito's weapons were flicked away from their hands somehow.

"Wha!?"

"Agh!?"

"It's a Devil Fruit!?"

"Ohhh!?"

"Hmm?"

Usopp and Sanji dropped to the floor as they rolled away while the rest went into alert as they prepare for a battle.

"Is it a devil fruit!?" Zoro asked.

"Hmm, that surprised me a bit" Kaito commented.

"What ability does she have!?" Nami questioned.

"Whoa, she's a real beauty!" Sanji exclaimed.

Miss All-Sunday only watched the group with an interesting look as she smiled amusedly at their antics.

"Fufufu~ no need to get so riled up... I haven't come here on any orders nor do I have any reason for fighting you people"

Miss All-Sunday stated as Luffy's straw hat magically flew towards the woman's hands.

'Was that what I think it was!?'

Kaito thought as he somehow got a glimpsed of what her devil fruit ability was after seeing Luff's hat taken away by her.

"So you're the captain of the Straw Hat pirates, Monkey D Luffy"

Miss All-Sunday stated as she twirl his hat around and wore it on her head after playing with it for a while.

"AH! GIMME BACK MY HAT! SO YOU'RE TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH US, ARE YOU NOW!?"

Luffy shouted at her with frustration at his hat being taken away.

"How unfortunate..."

Miss All-Sunday sighed as she rambled on about how pitiful Vivi is for entrusting her life to small-time pirates while being chased by an entire organization as the group listened in silence.

"But above all, how unfortunate your route is pointing out by your log pose is... the name of the next island on your journey is, Little Garden..."

Miss All-Sunday stated as she explained how their journey will end after coming to this island and wouldn't even be able to reach the shores of Alabasta.

"As if we'd just roll over and die! now gimme back my hat!" Luffy retorted.

"Little Garden...?" Kaito questioned.

"Yeah, how dare you... y-you big meanie!" Usopp shouted behind a pillar.

"How old are you?" Zoro asked.

The Straw Hats continued to ramble nonsense as they kept shouting at her.

"Enough howling, anyone could put up a brave front... yet to know of the difficulties that lies ahead and still rush in is in fact an act fit for the fools"

Miss All-Sunday stated as she flicked an eternal pose and the straw hat back at Luffy and Vivi as the hat landed atop of his head while the eternal pose landed on Vivi's hands.

"An eternal pose?" Vivi questioned.

"You'll be able to skip right over your future troubles with that..." Miss All-Sunday answered.

She then went on to explain how the log pose is pointed at an obscure uninhabited island located right before Alabasta and how this island is unknown to Baroque Works.

"What? is she not a bad person then?" Nami asked.

"W-Why would you give such a thing to me!?" Vivi questioned.

"Hmmm...." Kaito pondered.

"...It's probably a trap" Zoro stated.

"Oh, I wonder about that..." Miss All-Sunday commented.

The Straw Hats contemplated whether what she said was false or true as they couldn't decide if they should trust her.

"Enough wasting time with that!"

Luffy stated as he grabbed the log pose on Vivi's hand and crushed it with his hand.

"Are you an idiot!?"

Nami exclaimed as she kicked Luffy's face and started scolding him about how reckless his action was while Luffy ignored her and stared at Miss All-Sunday intently.

"Don't you dare think, that you can choose the path of our journey!"

Luffy shouted at her with a serious look while Vivi slightly gasped at his response in surprise.

"I see... how unfortunate..."

Miss All-Sunday commented as she looked unmoved by what he said and only smiled calmly at him.

"Luffy!" Nami exclaimed.

"She blew up that Chikawa mister so I hate her" Luffy stated.

Nami and Luffy quarreled for a while Miss All-Sunday watched them with a thoughtful look.

"Well, I don't dislike bold men... let us meet again soon if you survive" Miss All-Sunday stated.

"I don't wanna!" Luffy retorted.

Miss All-Sunday smiled in response as she jumped on a large turtle, the turtle started swimming away from them after a while and the group watched as she fade away in the fog.
