Little Garden? Little for them

They were sailing for a day now. All of them were on the deck and relaxing, enjoying the warm and sunny day. Sanji was passing out fruit drinks to everyone and Luffy was asking if Usopp can make some fishing rods.

''Fishing, huh? Not a bad idea'' Zoro agreed with a smirk as he drink

Of course that awake Usopp's exaggeration side and start to declare ''Sure! Let me just fire up my ol' artistic skills to create masterwork fishing rods!'' They were all distract by Sanji however, which he was giving the duck, Carue, drink after drinks and cheering him on with each one he took along with Luna. Nami and Vivi were also on the upper deck, leaning on the railing just in front of the kitchen and watching them. They all brust into laughing as Carue had drunk too much and was looking ready to burst.

After a couple of moment later Sanji, from the railing close to shiphead he sit, call out ''Hey, look! Its a Dolphin!'' Making everyone turn there with smiles to watch the dolphin ''Oh, It's so cu-'' Nami was saying with a relax smile but she cut it half as Dolphin got closer. They all watch the Dolphin with blank faces this time for a second there then suddenly, Nami yelled ''It's freaking huge!'' causing Luna to laugh as she say ''Its still cute though!''

Luffy yelled with a big smile on his face ''Lets run away!''

''Aye-aye Cap'n'' everyone yelled as they drop what they were doing and go to work. Like they were done this many times before, they got the sails ready and turned around, all of them knew what to do as Nami also giving directions to them to use the waves the dolphin creats to ride out and go to an amazing speed. Vivi watch them in amazement as she saw them laying around just a moment ago. Luffy look up and asked Nami for direction when the exciment die down. Nami instruct to sail portside and they turn without any other complaints. Just after a minutes later, they could see in the distance, through a light mist, a large island that looked like a tropical jungle

''There is no doubt about it. Cactus Island and this one are definitely pulling against each other'' Nami said with a big smile as she checking the log pose on her wrist ''Our next destination is that island!''

Everyone start to cheer as they slowly approach ''Woohoo! Our second island on Grand Line!'' Luffy yelled as he jump and look at the island

As the ship just start to follow the river, Luna get out from their little room. She was now wearing a white, off shoulder puff sleeve, lace-up crop top. It was a little under her breasts and a pale blue, baggy denim shorts just under her hips and its waist were on the same line with her belly button, showing off her well toned muscles a little. Her blue sash with golden flower engravings was around her waits, holding her katana and her skeleton bracelet was also on her right hand. She was already took off her compass necklace and her dragon bracelet was on her left forearm as she never took off. She was also wearing some flat heel, light brown leather, ankle boots that folded down a little. Her hair also had five braids like always but she also had low ponytail too.

''What is this little about this place?!'' a very scared Usopp asked as the ship follow more the little river. Luna make a big smile after hearing this ''Well, considering what lives in this island...'' she had an excited smile as she look around and miss the paled faces Nami, Usopp and Vivi made as they remembered what lives in this island. Suddenly, a loud shrieking sound made them all look up and see a gigantic reptilian bird flying down at them.

Usopp and Nami had a very scared faces as Luna look at it ''Oh, its a Archaeopteryx!'' She wasnt lose her excited smile even a little.

Just it was about to caught Sanji ''Mutton Shoot!'' his kick send it shooting through the air until it dissapear into the jungle ''Shitty bird'' he mumbeled for the bird wanted to attack him. Just after that, they heard a loud roar this time and turned to see a huge tiger making its way towards the canal. They were all looking at the Tiger with blank faces as the tiger also staring at them too and walking besides them. Just then, suddenly the tiger collapsed onto the ground and start to bleed as they all blink in surprise. Usopp was the first one get out from shock ''We all gonna die!'' he yelled

Nami also yelled just after him ''What could have killed a giant tiger like that!'' with a very scared face

''Who knows..'' Luna as she looked around more ''Alright! Lets not set foot on this island'' Usopp said. He was standing with folded arms but one could see that he was sweating and shaking.

''Right.. Lets just quietly wait on our ship and leave the very second our log pose finishes recording! After all, we have to hurry on to Alabasta as soon as possible and dinosaurs are not something we would want to see!'' Nami said very nervously, causing Luna to gasp ''No way! Everyone wants to see the dinosaurs!''

''We dont!'' Nami and Usopp yelled at her at the same time making Luna to made a shocked face ''Eh?'' in her mind it was a chance of a life time that everyone wants to experience. ''Sanji! prepare a lunchbox!'' Luffy yelled with an excited voice

''A lunchbox?'' while puffing his cigarette

''Yeah, a pirate lunchbox! Its smells adventure here!'' with a big smile of his as he look at the island. Luna also smiles big as she nod ''Right, we dont even know how long its gonna take for the log set, we just have to enjoy our time here!''

Nami had tears in her eyes as she think they are crazies and its too late to make them give up now...

While they were waiting for Sanji to come Luffy and Luna was talking about riding on the dinosaurs when Vivi suddenly came towards them ''Could I come along with you guys?''

''Sure!'' Luffy and Luna said with big smiles as Nami gasp in horror ''Even you!?''

''Yes, just standing here doing nothing is only going to end up making me think about my worries again. So I may as well try to clear my head until the log pose finishes recording!'' Vivi was saying with a smile while Usopp was murmuring what a brave girl Vivi is. ''It'll be fine! Carue will be by my side after all!'' Poor Carue however was looking like he just sentenced to death though ''Your trusty body guard looks too scared to even quack..'' Nami said while looking at the poor duck as Luna laugh ''Its a good idea, Vivi!''

After that, Sanji came and after their little preparation, they jump off from the ship. ''Alright, lets go!'' Luffy yelled happily as Vivi also followed him on Carue's back ''We'll be back!'' Luna also waved at them with a big smile ''Be careful you guys!'' and they dissapear into the jungle.

Just after their disappearance, Zoro and Sanji also challenged to eachother at hunting and left Nami and Usopp with a very scared state, blaming each other why the other is not more dependable.

''Hey Luna, check this out!'' Luna turned to look as she heard Luffy's joyful voice and saw that he was holding something in his hands to show her ''There's a clam that looks like a squid! A clamsquid!'' Luffy declared as Luna got close to look at it ''No its a ammonite, actually..''

''A clamsquid, right?'' Luffy replyed causing Luna to sigh ''No, ammonite.'' Luffy looked confused as he look back at his hand that holding the ammonite and and then look back at Luna again. ''It's a prehistoric cephalopod.'' She shug with a basic explanation as she's not interested in and keep looking around. While Luffy still looking at it ''Oh! A Brontosaurus!'' she point ahead with a big smile making them turn too. Vivi's eyes got widen as she saw the dinosaur that towering above the trees. She instanly gone pale as she look at it ''It's really a dinosaur...'' Luffy's eyes lit up in amazement though ''Cool!'' Without any warning, Luffy stretch one arm out and wrap around the dinosaur's neck as he also wrap around Luna's waist with his other arm and throw himself at the dinosaur's head. Vivi was looking like she was about to faint as she saw them on top the brontosaurus, looking happy as they looking around.

''Hey! That place looks great to have our lunchs!'' Luffy point some place, what looks like a giant rock with full of holes. Luna, who was looking at volcanoes turned and also looked what is he pointing at ''Oh, that looks good!'' she thought that its not some normal rock but before she could say that loudly, Luffy turned the dinosaur's head sharply, causing Luna to hold on for not to fall and the dinosaur to howl in pain. The noise it made was so loud that it bring dozens of other dinausors, much larger ones since the one Luffy and Luna was on, was still a baby. As Luffy and Luna start to slid down on their neck, laughing happily and racing with eachother Vivi was gaping and yelling at them to get down and saying its too dangerous but they were start jump from head to head this time, for not wanting to get eaten.

Well, not after long Luffy got eaten by one of the biggest one that covered by scars, causing Vivi to yell in horror ''He's eaten!'' Luna was getting ready to cut down its neck but before she could even unsheathed her katana, a giant blade came flying out of nowhere and cut the neck of the dinosaur off so suddenly that Luffy popped right out of the neck as it fell. With this, other dinosaurs start to run, forcing Luna to jump from the head that she was on since she didnt want to drag with them to where ever they are running off. The giant that appeared out of nowhere caught both Luffy and Luna like little toys. He was looking well built with a very long beard and was dressed like a vicking with a helmet that went right over his eyes. They were standing in the giant's palm as the giant began to laugh.

''Gegyagyagya! What a fun! Arent you lively little ones! I havent had any guests in a long time!'' causing Luna to blink twice as she now remember that this place was where Dorry and Brogy was...

''Whoa! You're huge! Are you human?'' Luffy asked bluntly as Luna sweatdrop at this ''Its obviously a giant..'' Luffy blink at this as the giant start to laugh and heave his sword up to his shoulder ''Gegyagyagya! I'm Elfbaf's strongest warrior, Dorry!''

''Oh, hi! I'm Luffy and I'm a pirate and this is Luna, a member of my crew!'' Luffy greet him with a big smile too and Luna smiled big as she waved her hand ''Nice to meet you, Dorry!'' Dorry keep his laughing ''A pirate? Well, good for you my friend, nice to meet you too! Geyagayagya!'' Luffy then point down to where Vivi and Carue is ''These are also my two friends, Vivi and Carue!'' after he look down at them ''Say hi to Dorry!'' he add with a big smile, like he doesnt see the pale faced Vivi and already fainted Carue. Vivi was so shocked that giants are real and in awe to see one of them, but scared that he is now looking at her too as she try to wake Carue. Dorry laugh again at this ''Let me invite you folks to my place!'' after that he bent down and take Vivi and Carue too as they scream fearfully, causing poor Carue to faint again, all the while Luna laugh at them and try to calm Vivi while saying not to afraid, not that its worked though.

When they came to the giant rock with big holes, Dorry start a fire and cook the dinosaur meat. Luffy and Luna tread their lunch for the dinosaur meat and laughing happily as they eat and talk.

''Sihihi, This is really good, Mr Giant!'' Luffy said with a laugh as he munch his giant meat

''Gegyagyagya! And your little pirate lunchbox is pretty good too! Though it is a little small'' as he hold the lunchbox between his two fingers. It was really small for him.

''You bet it is! I would've kicked your ass if you said it tasted bad!'' causing Dorry to stop laughing ''Kick my ass?'' he asked with a threatening demand as Vivi and Carue got pale. Dorry start to laugh again, slapping his knee ''Gegyagaya! Arent you a funny little one!'' Luna smiled to two of them, thinking that they were looking like two old friends even though they had just met while Vivi murmuring to herself as she sweatdrop along with Carue ''T-they're getting along so well...''

Luffy asked at some point that why Dorry is living here on his own and doesnt he have a village to live in. Dorry then start to tell his story, he said his home is located somewhere in the Grand Line, Elbaf but he and another giant named Brogy had been battiling here for a hundred years. It was their village's law, if a quarrel breaks out, you cant settle it on your own and they beseech their god elbaf for his judgment. Elbaf is just and bestows divine protection on those in the right, he'll ensure the survival of the righterous. He and Brogy gotten involved in a quarrel and this island is their battleground between them. ''But its been 100 years since then! We just cant seem to settle our duel! Gegyagyagya!''

''Yo've been figthing for over a 100 years?!'' Luffy asked with a shock as Luna keep eating her meat ''Their life spans are thrice of a human, right?'' with a smile. Dorry laugh at this as he answer ''Thats right! 100 years are nothing to us! Gegyagya!''

''But even if you do live longer, how could you still want to fight even after 100 years?!'' Vivi asked as she stood up. She couldnt believe the reason ''Is there any reason to continue to fight?! You're trying to kill eachother, arent you?!'' trying to undersand the situtation as Luna 'She's really a pacifist' thoguht to herself. Suddenly the volcano erupted, causing everyone to look there.

''Woah! Its a humongous volcanic explosion!'' Luffy said as he look up and Dorry's eyes changed ''Looks like its about time..'' causing everyone to turn towards him. He get ups while saying ''Not sure when we exactly decide it but the eruption of that middle volcano, is the signal for battle.''

''What..!? You two cant possibly hate each other so much to actually want to try and keep on killing each other for over 100 years! Just what exactly was the cause for your qua-'' Vivi cut off with Luffy put a hand in front of her mouth. ''Stop! Its not about that anymore'' he said knowingly as he look up to Dorry

''Yes. Its about pride now'' Dorry said with his burning and focused eyes and start to move forward with Brogy's arrival ''And we forgot the reason ages ago!'' as their axe and sword clashed. Luna and Luffy were watching in awe the fight in front of their eyes while Vivi watching with a disaprovement. ''I dont understand...'' Vivi said lowly causing Luna to sigh with a little smile ''Not all fights about hatred, Vivi''

''Thats right! They're best friends, its all about honor!'' Luffy also butt in, looking very serious and interested in the subject. Vivi on the other hand still didnt understand ''I still dont think that fighting is a good answer to their problem'' Luna sigh at Vivi's naiveness. Her country is in a civil war and she cant even watch a fight let alone understand. She was really grow up in peace and was a pacifist in the end. A child had seen no real war until now... Luna dismiss the thoughts in her mind and look up the two giants. Not that every time one could see such a battle between two warriors.

''Dont you long for our home, Dorry?'' Brogy asked with a nostalgia in his voice

''Thats exactly why I'll crush you today and leave for Elbaf at once, Brogy!'' Dory answered with a determination. They were both laughing and looking truly happy as they keep clashing. At some point, Brogy managed to land a hit on Dorry's head but Dorry adjusted his head so that his helmet would take the blow. The battle keep for a little while after that but in the end, it was their 73,466 draws...

After their little talk, Dorry rejoin Luffy, Luna, Vivi and Carue.

''Gegyagya! Ah! Could his guests be your crewmates? He said his two guests were a long-nosed man and orange haired woman'' As he sit and hold up 3 barrel rums

''That must be Usopp and Nami!'' Luna said happily while taking one of the barrel Dorry gave her ''Whats with them? They made such a fuss about not leaving the ship.'' Luffy with a pouting voice but he smiled after that ''Maybe those two really do like adventures!'' knowingly said making Luna also to nod sagely ''I knew that everyone wants to see dinosaurs!'' Vivi sweatdrop at them that seeing both of them get a conclude themselves and nodding knowingly while Dorry laughing happily. She then made a face like she remember something

''Sorry to change the topic..'' She start with hesitate at first as she look up to Dorry ''But earlier you said that it takes a year for the log to finish recording on this island. Is that really true?''

''Havent you seen the skeletons of the little humans that lying on the ground around these parts? Most humans who come here end up dying before their log sets. Some are eaten by the dinosaurs, others give in to heat or starvation and some even try to attack us. Whatever the case, they all end up perishing on this island. Seems that spending even a single year on this island's just too long for you little humans'' He explained with a big smile on his face causing Vivi to hold her head with her hands, getting depressed again ''What do I do...Even if I survive on this island for that long, who knows what would become of my country during that time...''

''Yeah, spending a whole year here would get kinda boring.'' Luffy also add bluntly making Luna laugh ''Well, if its in the faith I'm sure we will find a way!'' she laugh loudly at this along with Luffy and Dorry while Vivi looking at them unbelievable face

''Gegyagyagya! Thats right! Why dont you test your luck and sail ahead!? If fate truly wills it, you'll reach your destination!''

''Sihihihi! You think? You know, It just might work!''

''Right! If we're lucky we would reach!'' Luna also add with a laugh

''Gegyagyagya! You really are interesting little humans!'' He was slapping his knee as he laugh

''Umm...'' Vivi was looking at them like they were lost their minds. Dorry then stopped laughing and calm down a little ''Well, I do have one eternal pose but that only points towards my home, Elbaf. In a way, you could say that Brogy and I are fighting over this eternal pose. You want to try stealing it from us by force?''

''Nah, that wont do. We're not trying to go to Elbaf. We just want to go on to the next island'' He then turned to Luna ''Right?''

''Yeah!'' She nod with a smile

''If we veer off our current course to Alabasta, then there is no meaning in sailing at all...'' Vivi get in her depressed mood again. Luna laugh at this, patting her back while saying it will be fine as Dorry and Luffy keep talking and laughing.

The moment Luna was about to take a gulp from the rum, she frown with the smell and her eyes gone wide. She look up to Dorry ''Dont drink it!'' but it was too late. Dorry look down at her in confuse as he gulp down all the barrel in one gulp. Luffy and Vivi also turned to her with confusion ''Whats wrong?'' Luffy asked as Luna throw the barrel away. ''It smells gunpowder..'' the moment she said that the barrel she throw away exploded and just a second later an explosion also came from Dorry's stomach. He let out a stragle yell while his eyes rolled into the back of his head and there was a smoke coming from his mouth as he fell on his back. Luffy has a horrified face as he jump on his foot ''Mr Giant!'' Vivi also was no different from him with her shocked face ''Mr Dorry'' she yelled

''Shit...'' Luna said lowly as she completly forget about this

While Luffy questioning that why the rum exploded and if it was really from their ship ''It exploded from inside his stomach! How horrible! Do you think that other giant could've possibly put something in the-'' before she could even finished Luffy cut her off with rather outraged, he yelled right in her face with his dangerous looking face ''Are you blind?! Why would two warriors, who've been fighting each other for over 100 years stoop to such a low act!?''

''Then who could it have been...'' before she could finished, Dorry got back his feet again. As he reach for his sword his eyes were glowing with rage. His friendly atitue was completly gone ''Its you little runts...'' he growl as he stragle to breath ''It wasnt Brogy *cough!* We're proud warriors of Elbaf. Who else would it be if its not you..!''

''Lets run away for now! Saying anything to him would be futile right now!'' Vivi shout out as she prepare to run. She was right, Dorry wouldnt listen to them at the moment but ''Running would also be useless too and it would make us look guilty!'' Luna yelled at her back. She was angry that she forget about this as much as that she was angry to Baroque Works. ''Right..'' Luffy said as he glare up to the giant while holding his hat. Carue was screaming and went off running as Vivi also telling to them that they should get out of there. Luffy take off his hat and put it Luna's head. As she looked at right in his eyes, she knew his intend that make her to look at him with a frown and look up to Dorry again. She knew this was the only way at the moment but there was no way any of them win against a giant right now, especially a raged one. ''Stand back'' he said making Luna look back at him with her not gone frowned face, there was also a little worry too makes him to avert his gaze and turned his back as he glare up to Dorry.

''You're going to fight Dorry?'' Vivi asked with a shocked face as she stare at Luffy but he didnt answer her as he cracked his knuckles ''Sorry about this, mister giant but I'm gonna have to shut you up for a bit''

Vivi look up to Dorry again as she try to reason him, saying that it wasnt them who did this and he was not in a shape but he was beyond listening. ''Stop it, Vivi'' Luna said as she look both Luffy and Dorry. Vivi turned to Luna with a surprised face ''You're okay with this!?'' she asked as she pointed Luffy and Dorry makes Luna frown but sigh as she glance at Vivi ''Sometimes there are things you can not stop with your talk'' Vivi frown at this. Clearly believing herself that its wrong. Luna turned to watch the two of them as Dorry swung his sword while blood was coming from his mouth. The fight is went on and on. Dorry was in a bad shape already and couldnt fight good as Luffy used his rubber attacks one after another. The moment Luffy rocketed himself to Dorry's injured stomach both start to fell on their backs as Dorry left a painful yelp but he wasnt done yet as he slam his foot down on Luffy.

''He is a person who has *cough* received power from evil fruit?'' Dorry said while coughing blood and breathing heavily as Vivi yelled with horrified face ''Luffy!''

''I underestimated you..'' Dorry said as he fell on his knees coughing more blood and create a little blood lake on the ground and fell on his face adventually, passing out right there. Luna walk up to Luffy and traveled her gazes on him. He was laying in the Dorry's boot print, breathing heavily with dirth and bruises on his body but he was genuinely looking unharmed. Luna sigh ''You're damn lucky that you're a rubber sometimes...'' as she held up her hand to help him get up ''Feeling okay?'' she asked when Luffy took her hand and start to get up ''I'm fine'' he then look over Dorry ''How's he?''

Vivi answered him while she look over Dorry too ''I think he is okay, however if you didnt do that to him he wouldnt stopped.'' She then admitted with a sigh ''I think you were right''

''Well, I'm very upset about this'' Luffy said with an angry face, the moment Luna put his hat back on his head. ''As he said, other giant is not responsible for that rum and our friends wouldnt do that for sure too and Luna was also about to drink it too!''

''Right..'' Vivi said softly ''But then who...?''

''Its very obvious actually'' Luna said with an another sigh ''Baroque Works..'' Vivi's eyes widen at this and realisation hit her but before anyone can say anything, the volcano erupted again and Dorry start to get up. He was still breathing hard and there was blood coming from corner of his mouth, Luffy and Vivi yell at him to stop and dont go but Dorry wasnt listening ''I'm a warrior, Dorry. At least *cough* I have to fight in an honor of Elbaf'' as he cough more blood but he managed to get back on his feet. As they try to stop him, Dorry took a hold of the big rock and drop it on Luffy, keeping him from moving. Luffy struggle to pull himself out as he yelled out but couldnt managed ''I cant stop'' Dorry start while still breathing heavily ''Even though its been 100 years and we are still fighting. When we begin it, we cant escape from it. Otherwise it will mean that we are escaping from being the true warriors. '' He look down on them as he hold his sword tightly ''If I lose this feeliing, I wont be myself anymore.'' He then look at them for the last time as he start to turn his back ''I'm sorry to have suspected you. This is the judgement from the warrior god of Elbaf! Elbaf doesnt protect me anymore, thats all.''

''Its not important if your god will protect you or not! If yoour god told you to die, would you follow his orders?! There is someone else involved in this fight and thats not fair!'' Luffy yelled out in rage.

Luna look at Dorry and sigh as she closed her eyes ''He's not going to listen to you Luffy. Even their duel is interfered and not fair anymore, they were both risking their lives on this fight. They wont use any exuces to postpone this fight.'' She then look up to Dorry with sad eyes that knowing there is no way to stop him ''Thats the ways of warriors of Elbaf'' Luffy was looking at Luna with a frown that saying clearly doesnt like it while Dorry was smiling, even though with all of the pain ''Right!'' His eyes turned to focused again then, he looked forward and prepared for Brogy's coming ''The highest honor of Elbaf!'' and start to keep walking forward while Luffy yelled after him to let him go.

''Who..? Who did this!?'' Luffy said angrily while his hat shadowing his eyes ''Who would dare to interfere their fight like this!?''

''Hmm, the only one who could be behind this would be that bomb guy from Baroque Works that we saw at Whiskey Peak'' Luna said as she lean her back beside him causing Vivi to blink and bit her lip nervously ''It means that Miss Valentine's here too. Its not good...'' Suddenly, a familiar voice sound off in front of them, screaming for Luffy. Usopp came bursting through the trees then trip and then bounce on a rock before crashing right into the rock. Before anyone can even react, he look up to them with his teary eyes while his noise bleeding ''We're in big trouble! Nami was eaten by a dinosaur!'' he shout out as he ran towards them.

''What!?'' Vivi and Luffy asked/yelled with a terror

''We were running out of the jungle and suddenly she disappeared! What am I going to do? I let my friend die!'' he cried while yelling, causing Luffy and Vivi to freak out too ''Calm down, you three'' Luna said a little loudly to shut them up and look at Usopp, who looks at her back with teary and hopeful eyes like waiting Luna to come up with something ''Just because she disappeared doesnt mean she got eaten. Have you checked around the area?'' Luna asked making Usopp yell ''I'm scared to death! How can I check? If its not dinosaur then it must be some kind of monster! What else cen it be?!''

Luna let a sigh, not impressed Usopp's yelling ''Well, Baroque Works is here so.. It's possible she might get captured or something since she is on the list too..''

Usopp gasp at this ''You mean Baroque Works is here on this island with us?'' like trying to understand that he heared it right ''Yeah'' Luna said nonchalantly as she start to go towards to jungle ''I'm gonna go and search for her to be sure!'' she waved her hand as Vivi yell after her ''Be careful, Luna-san!'' and they start to tell Usopp about Dorry.

Luna walk through the jungle while looking around and try to feel Nami with her observation. Her eyebrowns were twiching with irritation that her range werent that wide when she heared a sound coming from behind the nearby trees and turned there. After looking at there with a blank face for a second, suddenly, a big smile appeared on her face and she start to run to it.

Vivi, Zoro and Nami were standing, trapped in a giant cake made out of wax with five candles spinning at the top. Dorry and Brogy were also down and trapped in wax on the ground too while Mr 3 were watching them with a smirk that clearly saying that he is proud of with his master piece. Usopp was also running around with Carue while Mr 5 and Ms Valentine running after him. The only ones who werent there was Sanji and Luna.

Miss Goldenweek were using her Colors Trap on Luffy. First one was black and the second one as yellow. The moment Miss Goldenweek used her colors trap with a red paint and Luffy hit it, much to Vivi, Zoro and Nami's irritation and Luffy's shock, suddenly a huge T-rex come out from trees. Everyone stopped for a moment and look at it with this sudden coming. It was half of the size of the giant or maybe a little more big but it looked poor with the big bump on its head.

''Hey guys!'' a happy and familiar voice come from top of the dinosaur and Luna suddenly appeared on its head with a big smile on her face that saying she had been having fun. ''Luna!'' yelled strawhats, some with surprise some with happiness.

Right, Luna was saw a T-rex and living her dream...

''Where the hell were you?! Save us!'' Nami yelled from where she trapped ''I was looking for you until I fo-'' Luna stopped and blink twice ''Save you?'' she asked then start to look around and start to sweat as she completly forget about this the moment she saw the T-rex... ''I see'' She said slowly as she jump from T-rex. The moment she jump off, poor T-rex start to run away, makes her pout mentally. Mr 3 was smiling at seeing Luna, thinking that finally the last one on the list is here too. ''Coming here on your on foot, apparently everyone of you are idiots..'' He smirk evily causing Luna to look at him.

She look at him with a rather blank face at first. Looking from toe to head and the moment she look at his head she gasp, making a weird shocked face ''You..!'' she start with a very serious voice causing them to look at her as Usopp and Carue still were running from Mr 5 and Miss Valentine. ''Dont panic... but...'' She was looking at him very intensely that everyone also start to look like that, waiting for what she will say with in this tense air. Mr 3 gulp a little ''what..?'' guarding himself up as he also look at her intensely too. She suddenly hold up her right arm and point at him ''Your head is burning!'' she stated loudly causing a silence fell around them for a good minute as the only sound were the sounds from islands inhabitants. Then suddenly Nami, Zoro and Vivi's jaws fell on the ground with a big, widen eyes and Usopp's fell on Carue's back with the shock while Luffy laughing, saying that she is right as he clearly mock with Mr 3. ''You idiot!'' Nami, Zoro and Vivi yelled with shark teeths while Mr 3 also yelled with a shark teeth that its because of his power.

''So you're Mr3'' She says without a slightest budge, like she never said that before in the beginning, so casually that made them sweatdrop this time. Nami was murmuring ''That must be it... I'm not dependable because I'm the sane one..'' she was chuckling while saying the last part causing Vivi to think that 'I dont think that its...' as she glance to Nami and start to sweat a lot with seeing a dark and cloudy aura around her.

Mr 3 made a smirk while fixing his glasses ''I see, so you understand my difference from them.'' showing Mr 5 and Miss Valentine, like saying he is better from them. Luna however, was looking at him like he is some kind of an idiot ''Your hair is three shapped... You're an idiot, dont you?'' she asked with a weird face, causing a vein to popped on his forehead ''Who are you even calling an idiot?!'' then with an outrage ''Thats it, Candle Lock!'' he yelled out and a melted candle rush towards Luna to lock her feet ''I'm going to add you to my piece of art too!'' While others yelling at her to dodge she start to unsheathed her katana

''Seventh Circle,'' as she said and start to unsheathed her katana, little flames start to spark on her body parts like her hair, arms and legs. Zoro made an evil smirk the moment he heard her ''Its gonna be so damn hot now'' hearing this Nami made a confused face ''Wha-'' before she could ask, Luna continue as the candle get close to her ''Dai-Jounetsu Jigoku'' she said with her calm tempered voice when she get lost with in flames, that came out of nowhere with a sudden burst.

Nami, Usopp and Vivi's eyes widen with seeing this while Zoro makes a smirk and Luffy looks at with stars in his eyes. Luffy knew about this but it was the first time seeing it unlike Zoro, who saw it before. When they were in Nami's island, after hearing her meeting with Hawk-eye and all, Zoro was asked her to show her all of her hells. With Luna using her hells one after another, Zoro got lost the second time that day with in such a short time. He had a smirk on his face this time though and a nostalgia. He could understand why Hawk-eye got interested in Luna's sword style. He couldnt wait to see her cold ones too.

''I didnt know Luna-san was a devil fruit user too'' Vivi said as she looked at the flames. It wasnt normal flames, it was dark red colored, like they were made of from blood and she could feel the heat as she start to sweating.

''She's not..'' Nami also said slowly while looking at flames and try to see Luna

''Its her sword, its co-'' before Zoro can explain more they heard Luna's voice again and look at her. ''Wax wax fruit's weakness is fire and extreme heat... You're a very bad match against me Mr 3.'' She start to rotate her sword in front of her a couple of times and the flames start to distribute as she keep talking calmly ''If I remember corretly they are Dorry the Blue Ogre and Brogy the Red Ogre, former captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates..'' the flames now were spreading around her as they decreased their high to half of her size. There were still little sparks on her body though. ''Not only our Captain's bounty but you also wanted to their two hundred million berry bounty too, so much that you even dared to interfere their honorable duel'' She smiled inocently after this, it looked like a devil's smile if one were to asked Mr 3 at the moment though, ''Such greed...'' She tilted her head a little then ''Dont you know that greediness is one of the most deadly sins?''

''Wha..?'' Mr 3 was looking at her with big, widen eyes, lost in the words since he wasnt waiting this. She was right in the end, fire and heat was his weakness. Luna then turned towards Usopp ''Usopp!'' making him get out from his shock and awe as he keep looking at her flames ''I'm leaving those guys to you and getting Luffy out from hypnosis'' making Usopp to yell at her with a horrified face ''What are you gonna do then?!''

Luna blinks at him, with a face that saying how could you even ask this ''I'm gonna destroy that thing'' she point the wax cake with her tump ''before its too late and they die'' causing Nami to gasp ''Right! Save us first!''

Ignoring Nami for a second ''I'm trusting you, brave warrior!'' she said with a big smile. Usopp made a blank face as he calmed down after hearing this ''Brave warrior...'' he repeat it lowly and then suddenly he laugh loudly ''Right! Leave your back to me, Luna! I, Usopp, the great warrior of the seven seas will help you out!'' he declered as Luna nod with a big smile ''I'm trusting you!'' and start to walk towards the cake, leaving flames behind her as she walk.

''Its big..'' Luna murmured while looking at the cake in front of her

''Wait! What do you think you're doing!?'' Mr 3 yelled out with anger. Not that he was getting ignored like he's nothing but she was also trying to.. ''I'm gonna destroy this useless, ugly thing'' Luna said with a big smile causing Mr 3 to get angry as he attack her with his powers again and yelling that his piece of art is not ugly. Luna sigh at this and start to raise her sword that she hold in her right hand ''Sixth Circle, Jounetsu Jigoku'' the moment she talk with a calm voice of her, the flames that were spreaded around, start to rush towards Naraka, like they were alive and melted the candle to nothingness that coming towards her along the way. As she hold up her katana on top her, the only burning thing now was her katana. There was nothing left behind except burnt marks. She look up to Zoro, Nami and Vivi ''Well, I'm gonna try to not burn you guys but be quick to run, it will be so hot'' She said with her big smile causing Nami to gasp, but before she can even say something, Luna bring down her sword in one swift motion ''Hells slash'' she said lowly while big burning vertical slash run towards to the wax cake and cut down between Vivi and Zoro and start to melt down the cake.

She watch the wax cake that start to melt with her blood red flames. Her range was still not wide in 'Seventh Circle' and controling hell flames were still a little bit tired her. Her hells in the end, were coming from nature and her very own soul. It was like using haki, it was using her soul and draws energy from her, causing her to get tired. She wasnt strong enough to fight in a long fight with her hells yet. She sigh mentally 'I still have long way to go to reach that old mans level..' was her thoughts while Zoro, Nami and Vivi finally getting free and run away from the fire. They were yelling hot repeatly as they run away. It was too damn hot that it even melted Nami's all tshirt and some parts of Vivi and Zoro's clothes too

While this was happening, Usopp, who suddenly become a dependable man, was caused a big explosion and freed Luffy from Colors Trap that he couldnt hit anywhere but the red circle. He also made Mr 5 eat some kind of special hot sauce that he made but it wasnt enough as Mr 5 rush towards to Usopp. Zoro came at that moment, using Luna's flames, he cut down Mr 5 saying that fire swords arent that bad causing Luna to smirk at him. Luffy on the other hand, was still watching Luna and her flames with his burnt t shirt. Thinking it was cool with starry eyes. There was also something else in his eyes but the stars were covering it. ''Cool!'' Luffy said when he saw that Zoro, Nami and Vivi finally get out and Zoro took care of Mr 5. Luna turned to look at him when she heard his voice ''He is running..'' she point at Mr 3, who was slowly making his way out.

With everyone escaped and a fire user girl and that everyone got beaten, he had no chance against them. His candle service that he had so proud of was gotten destroyed with just one slash.. He look at them when he heard Luna's voice. Luffy gasp at him as he start to run and disappear into the jungle along with Miss Goldenweek and Luffy start to run after him ''Wait! You're running away now!?'' all the while yelling after him. Carue also go along with him, more like go after miss Goldenweek...

With a little smile, Luna shaked her head and turned to the giants, who's still trapped in the wax. She hold up her sword as her grip tighten and made a three vertical slashes with a fast pace ''Cerberus's Roar'' she said with her usual calm voice as the slashes start to run towards to giants. It looked like a big, three headed, a very scary dog that comes out one's nightmare for a moment, making Brogy's eyes widen at the dog's coming towards him. They also could hear a momently, short but a loud roar.

Brogy closed his eyes but he only felt a breeze. It was like a hot breeze, a very hot that it made him sweat though but the flames just lick their body like a wind and disappeared as the wax melted instantly, freeing two giants. Luna let a sigh and sheathed her katana. There was no flames left the moment she completly sheathed her katana. ''You melted my t shirt!'' Nami suddenly yelled with a pout causing all of them to sweatdrop ''Well, I didnt accidentally burn you guys too at least'' She said with a big smile as Nami start to shake Luna all the while yelling that she ownes her an expensive t shirt now. She still said thanks in the end though.

''Thank you, little human girl'' Brogy said with an honest smile that causing Luna to smile with the same honesty as she said its not a problem and they all start to wait for Luffy.

After Luffy finally come back, ''Ooohhhhh!'' Brogy start to cry for his lost friend. Usopp, Luna and Vivi told her everything and with no enemy left he burst into tears.

''Even his crying is ear splittingly energetic..!'' Nami said while covering her eyes and looking up to Brogy

''Its like looking at a waterfall!'' Zoro was looking up to him weirdly

''Hey, look! You can see a rainbow behind him!'' Luffy yelled with a surprise as Carue quack Vivi was also complaining about her ears

And Usopp... He was crying along with Brogy ''I understand you completely, master Brogy!''

''Stop it, all of you!'' Luna yelled with her twiching eyebrowns as she look at the lake that start to form under their feets.

''How can you be so heartless!?'' Usopp yelled at her with his non stop tears makes Luna's eyebrowns twich more ''I'm trying to tell you... He is not dead!'' she yells, having enough with this all. Everyone stops and turns to her ''eh?'' the moment they asked this Dorry suddenly start to sit up causing them turned to him with a big shock and silence for a moment. ''Seems like I've passed out for a bit'' Dorry said with a hard breathing

''Dorry...you're..!?'' Brogy look at him with unbelieveble eyes as everyone also start to smile while Luffy and Vivi also call out his name happily

''It was probably because of their weapons'' Luna said nonchalantly with a shrug

''The weapons..!?'' as Usopp wipe out his tears ''Ah! That's right!'' he saw their weapons and start to smile ''Even Elbaf's weapons couldnt withstand all the stress of a duel between giants that's been going on for a hundred of years..'' Luffy also laugh after this while saying unbelievable and Usopp said that its a miracle and giants start to laugh while hugging each other, they were almost start to fight again though.

Luffy, Luna, Usopp and Craue were having a senbei party after the giants finally start to calm down and Dorry got bandaged up

''By the way little human girl,'' Dorry look at Luna which she also look up to him. He was sitting besides Brogy and leaning his back against to rock ''How do you know about the ways of warriors of Elbaf?'' Usopp blink at this and then with an excited face ''Dont tell me!? You go to the Elfbaf bef-'' Luna cut him before he could even finish ''No'' makes his excite to go fly away instantly. She make a big smile after that ''I know a giant. He talk about it before''

''Oh..!'' Dorry and Brogy smiles big with this ''He is so cute and a kind person that I like him a lot'' Luna adds then with a found and happy smile as she look far away for a second. Everyone sweatdrops at this except giants, which they were laughing and Luffy, who blankly blinks ''cute and kind...'' mostly to himself while Nami yelling/asking to Luna ''Kind and cute?! How can you even describe a giant 'cute' !?'' Luna laugh at this loudly ''Well, you see.. he is an okama, wears skirts and all, he is cute!''

Usopp suddenly choke with the senbei he was eating ''An okama giant who wears a skirt..!'' he repeats causing all of them to try an image of them and shake their heads rapidly, with a horrified faces except Luffy and Zoro, with Luffy had a smile and Zoro had a blank face, like he erased that image from his memory. Luna laugh at this ''I wonder if we would ever come across with him, he is such a good friend... I'm sure you guys would like him too!'' and she laughs again along with Luffy and giants too. Usopp also joins then while saying he wants to meet another giant too when he get out from his imaginary world. Luna thoughts for a second with that 'I wonder how is everyone doing..' with a little but found and happy smile

Unknown to them, right at the moment a giant was sneezing repeatly in West Blue, scaring the hell out of the people around him. There was also other people sneezing in different places but out of all of them there was an island with nothing but white. Almost all of them were sneezing at the same time. They were talking about an epidemic that the Marines or the World Government secretly infected them. They were start to think an incoming battle right at the moment.

''We're in serious trouble if we have to wait a full year for the log to record'' Zoro said from where he was sitting as Nami answered him ''Exactly! This is no laughing matter'' She then turns to Luna ''I can understand why you said we're going to need to buy an eternal pose...'' Luna smiles at her really big with this ''Then mone-''

''Once we had it!'' With determination Nami says as she also hold up her punch on the air. Luffy was asking to giants if they can do something about it but they were saying that there is nothing they can do about the logs ''By the way...'' Luna said as she look around, getting everyones attention ''Where is Sanji?'' Like he was waiting for this moment, Sanji suddenly came out from the jungle, swooning ''Were you worried about me my sweet goddess Luna! Dont worry, your prince is here now!'' he then turns to Vivi and Nami ''Nami and Vivi! Thank god you're all safe!'' without even looking around ''and the rest'' he add like its not even important.

''Hey, Sanji'' Luffy waved to him with his big smile while Usopp made an outraged face ''He shows up now?!''

''The hell is that!? Are you Mr 3!?'' Sanji with his bulged eyes after seeing giants and takes a fighting state but the moment he sees Nami, who asks how he knows about Mr 3, his eyes bulged with hearts this time ''Oh my! Electrifying as always, Nami!''

After he calmed down and gave his jacket to Nami, he explains everything to them. Where he had been and what he was doing.

''So then... Just a moment ago, you were talking with Mr 0?'' Vivi asks with an unbelievable face

''Yeah, I guess... It seems he mistook me for Mr 3'' Sanji aswer her with a smile as he lit up a cigarette

''And now he thinks that we're all dead?!'' Vivi asked more loudly still unbelievable face while gasping

''Yeah or at least thats what I told him'' he answers while puffing smoke and Usopp yelling at the sky, to a god maybe?, ''Just when we finally throw off our pursuers, we cant even step a foot off of this island!''

Sanji hold up an eternal pose that pointing to Alabasta as he start to talk ''What? Do we still have unfinished business here or something? I mean, I managed to get this from them and all.. huh?'' He asked in the end as they were all looking at him with their jaw on the ground with shock in silence ''Wha..?'' before he could say anything else, suddenly they all start to celebrate and jump around

''An eternal pose to Alabasta!''

''Hahahaha!''

''We can set sail!''

''Thank you so much, Sanji! I was so worried over what to do...!'' Vivi sudddenly hugged Sanji causing his eyes turned to hearts as he stupidly and kind of inocently laugh ''Y-you're... welcome..Dehehhe I didnt think it would make you this happy...'' Luna was laughing lowly at Sanji's antics when Luffy suddenly come out and give her a senbei ''Alright, guys! Its time for a senbei party!'' with a big and happy smile while Usopp was looking at him ''Luffy! This aint gonna be much of a party if we've only got four crackers left!'' as he said Luna was happily clink her senbei with Luffy and Nami

''This isnt the time for that. Its time to set sail, Captain! We cant just loiter around here forever!'' Nami said as Zoro and Sanji also start to talk about their hunting contest and make the giants blink

''Alright then giant old guys! We'll be taking off now!'' Luffy says while holding his hat with a big smile

''I see.. Busy lil' buggers arec'cha?'' Brogy with a big smile too as he look down

''It's a shame but we wont ask you to stay any longer. I hope your country's safe, girl'' Dorry said and he look down to Vivi with the last part with a smile causing Vivi to smile honestly too as she said ''Thank you!'' and they start to go towards to their ship while yelling goodbyes and Usopp declaring that someday, he will visit Elbaf.

''Look my lizard is clearly bigger!'' Sanji as he point down his Tyrannosaurus rex

''Are your eyes just for show or something? The bigger animal is my Rhino'' Zoro instit as he also point out his Triceratops. They were deadly glaring at each other

''Who cares, they both look pretty tasty to me'' Luffy said as he watch them from ship causing them to yell at him at the same time ''You stay out of this!''

''Stop it! We cant cary all that much meat anyway. Just pack up from both as much as we need and lets go already'' Luna said while looking at their bicker. Nami also yelled from upper deck ''Right, It's time to set sail!'' They keep their bickering for a while but there was no winner in the end as they start to set sail.

''If we sail straight from here, we should be able to exit on the westers side of the island'' Nami was saying as Luffy asked that if they should've packed more of that meat. Sanji were saying that they dont have enough space as Usopp yelled that if he is trying to sink their ship when Luffy suddenly point ahead ''Ah! Its giants! They've come to see us off!'' They were standing on either sides of river while their back turn to them and their cape waving in the wind.

When they get closer, Brogy spoke without looking at them ''The most important reason why all the little ones who come to this island,''

Dorry finished what Brogy was saying ''Do not reach the next island lies straight ahead.''

''What?'' Nami asked as they all look up at them with confuse

''You all risked your lives so that our pride can remain untarnished'' This time Dorry start

As Broggy keep after him ''Thus, in turn, no matter the foe..''

''We must not let your flag of pride be tarnished either..!'' Dorry declared

''Trust in us and sail straight ahead! No matter what happens, sail only straight ahead!'' Brogy also declared. While Zoro was in confuse, Luna made a smile and Luffy said with a determination ''Got it! Sail straight ahead!''

''Farewell'' Both of them said ''Let us meet again'' Dorry as he hold up his sword ''One day in the future'' Brogy also finished his words as he hold up his axe.

''Look! Up ahead!'' Nami point with a terror filled face making all of them to look ahead only to see something enormous rising out of the sea. The sea rised up and an enourmous goldfish that much bigger most of the sea kings appeared in front of them.

''So you've come, Island Devourer'' Dorry said with a darkened face

''In the name of Elbaf, we wow to clear a path!'' Broggy also had some dark face and smiled as they both looked at it while the crew were yelling

''What is that thing?'''

''Its it a sea king?!''

With Nami start to yell at Usopp to grab the helm before they swallowed alive Usopp was living a shock and then start to remember something about a goldfish while sweating a lot. Luna was laughing while saying its the biggest goldfish that she had ever seen. Usopp then said that he cant take the helm and they should have to go straight ahead and asked to Luffy if he is right which Luffy said yes with out a hesitation. ''Dont be ridiculous! This is completly different than getting swallowed by Laboon!'' Nami yelled in terror again

''Yeah, yeah. Just pipe down already. Here, I'll even give you the last senbei'' Luffy as he keep looking ahead throw the senbei at Nami , who stand at his left side back

''I dont need any senbei! If we dont turn the ship around this instant, We'll-'' before she could continue Zoro said her to give up while opening the door for Carue to hide inside. Luna laugh again and pathed Nami's back ''Its gonna be alright!'' Nami start to munch the senbei with tears flowing down from her eyes. She was looking like a little child as Sanji start to yelled at Luffy, asking if the giants are trust worthy which Luffy said yes without no hesitation again. Nami and Vivi were start to yell now that its too late. The last thing they saw before being swallow was the two giants holding their weapons high.

''Straight ahead! Straight ahead!'' Usopp was yelling with his tears and closed eyes making Nami to scream at him ''What're you screaming for!? We've already been swallowed alive!''

''Straight ahead! Straight ahead!'' Luffy was also yelling as he look ahead from his special seat he sits

''Right, straight ahead!'' Luna happily joined them while pointing ahead from right side of the sheephead. Just then with a shockwawe a light appeared behind the ship and everyone saw a wave of red and blue colored energy fly past them as it pierce through a giant hole in big goldfish and the ship sent flying out from hole to the sky with giants battle cries. ''Wohoo! We're flying!'' Luffy yelled as they all smile in amazement ''Dont turn back now! Fly straight ahead!'' he yelled and then add with a more low voice ''They're just so freakin' big!'' as he held his hat for not wanting to fly away. Usopp was literally crying while saying they cut the ocean itself and the Elbaf warriors are amazing. They fly for a couple of seconds before they finally fell down to the sea again. They could hear the giants yelling at them as they wished good luck.

Having departed from Little Garden, the ship was sailing calmly along.

''Guys listen! One day, I swear I'll visit Elbaf and the village of warriors!'' Usopp declared as Luffy also joined him that they will

''We need to go in the New world firts though..'' Luna said with a thoughtful face ''New world?'' Usopp turned to her with confusion ''Oh, right you said that before too!'' Luffy said with a big smile as he came next to Luna

''Right, while this, first half of the Grand Line called Paradise, second half is called the New world. Elbaf is in New world'' Luna said with a smile while Nami makes a shocked face ''Paradise?! How could this place even called a Paradise?'' she asked/yelled

''Well, its called Paradise because when you compared to the New World it is a paradise actually!'' Luna said with a laugh causing Nami's eyes got widen but before she could even asked anything ''Where you there before, Luna?!'' Luffy asked with an excitement as Usopp also look at her with same eyes

''Yeah, I was there more than here actually. It was more easier to go to the New World from West Blue.'' She then made a little smile ''I only came to the Paradise to bring Ro and then go to look for Hawky since his island were here, in Paradise'' causing to Zoro to open his eyes instantly ''Then I took care of a couple of my business and then go back to my home!'' she smiled big with this

''New world huh..'' Usopp and Luffy had a dreamy face and start to dance around as they keep yelling that they will go to the New World and visit Elfbaf causing Luna to sigh as she shake her head.

After a little while later, Nami come to her side ''Arent those two lively..'' with a sweatdrop and then turned to Luna ''I dont know you guys but I feel exhausted from all that earlier. Luna, can you keep an eye on the log for a while, I'm going to rest a bit?'' handing the eternal pose to Luna, who blinks at her for a few times and then smile big ''Sure, go and take a nice rest!'' Nami also smile big ''Thanks!'' as she go towards their room.

Luna look at the eternal pose in her hand with a blank face and then look at the door that Nami just get in with a worried eyes. The only thing coming from her mouth was ''Shit...'' as they were sailing away...
