Mr. 3

Little Garden is one of the many islands that make up the Grand Line, and it has distinctive characteristics that the other islands do not have. A place where, despite the name, nothing there is at all small. In addition, the existence of dinosaurs and plants that originated in prehistoric times but are still alive is what makes this island even more interesting.

If you are just strolling through the thick forest to take in the island's breathtaking scenery, You will be surprised because you will quickly come across a T-rex ready to devour you fiercely.

When you find out that Saber Tooth has been watching you from the bushes, ready to pounce on you at any time, the feeling of anxiety will slowly make you crazy. Even if you are a notorious pirate with a large bounty on your head, there is a good chance that you will still meet your end at the hands of these ancient beasts.

On the other hand, a strange sight could be seen in the middle of the forest further into the island, where a white building with a waxy texture stood tall. Its shape is like a mini castle, and the fire that continues to burn at the top makes this building look strange and out of place.

There were a lot of curious prehistoric animals that tried to bite this building to bring it down, but its tough texture made them regret their decision when their teeth cracked. In the end, they compromised and allowed this peculiar structure to stand in their way.

While this is going on, on the inside, there is a lot of furniture that has been carved in such a way by artists to create beauty combined with aesthetics.

Despite this, the weakness is already clearly visible...

"As usual, your candle creations are really boring, and I can't stand sitting on this hard sofa any longer," Miss Valentine stood up and patted her buttocks before opening her umbrella and intending to leave the room.

"I won't be angry with someone who doesn't understand art like you... if you want to wait somewhere else, please do so... and you also know where to look for me, right?"

Apart from Miss Valentine and Mister 5, two other people were with them. Seeing their closeness, people would easily assume they were also Baroque Works members.

The person who has just spoken is known as Mister 3, and similar to the other male Baroque Works agents, he conceals his agent number somewhere on his costume. However, he displays it slightly differently, or you could say it is very noticeable in his costume.

The number 3 is engraved on everything he owns, starting from his vest and the glasses he wears. Even the cup in his hand has the number 3 engraved on it. But he is most pleased with how his hair is neatly styled into the shape of the number three. He doesn't care if other people find it extremely cringe-worthy.

Meanwhile, there was a teen with the body of a child listening in on the conversations these adults were having. She appeared uninterested in what was happening around her because she was concentrating so intently on her painting. Still, she broke her silence and participated in the conversation:

"Can you guys bring me one of the dinosaurs outside? I want to paint them while I wait."

Luffy and his crew were the ones she was referring to when she said these words because, after hearing from Miss Monday that the Marines had kidnapped Mister 8, they had been given the order to stop the Marines on this island. This was done because their intelligence indicated that the Marines were most likely planning to head to Arabasta.

"Of course, I won't be stingy with my sister… I'll see you later."

"Hmph! Don't act like you know me. I'm not your sister."

Instead of paying attention to her protests, Miss Valentine gave her a smile and continued walking away with her partner, Mister 5. Her happy laugh could be heard reverberating loudly throughout the candle building, and even though Mister 3 furrowed his brows in displeasure, he did not say anything.

"Why should we be bothered with saving Mister 8? Aren't the two of them enough?..." When the paintbrush in the teenage girl's hand suddenly stopped moving through the air, she was silent for a brief time, and her expression also changed slightly when she discovered something strange, so she continued:

"What prompted the Marines to arrest Mr. 8 in the first place? Haven't they let us along because we've helped the world government catch these pirates?"

*Thud

After setting his cup down, Mr. 3, who had been drawn to the youthful girl's inquisitiveness, then endeavored to help enlighten her, "At first, I thought the same, but then I got surprising information..."

It was rare for him to find her interested in anything besides her painting; consequently, once he had her undivided attention, he continued saying:

"The Mr. 8 that we have always known is not the same person we believed he was. I can't say for sure who he is, but I know he is connected to the major project Mr. 0 is working on."

When the name of their boss was brought up in conversation, the teenage girl's eyes blinked a few times, but she quickly moved her brush back to the canvas covered in scribbles and asked, "Then his partner, too?"

"I hope so because our organization does not need traitors like them, but... Miss Goldenweek, well done for thinking this far on your own without anyone's help."

Mr. 3 is completely satisfied with his partner, who, although much younger than him, can display remarkable intelligence and maturity. She also possesses a devil fruit, which is useful because it can support his Doru Doru no Mi, which enables him to produce large quantities of candle wax from his body and control it.

"I don't care about them. I hope we can resolve this and get a long holiday because I don't want to go back to Arabasta… that place is dead hot."

Just as she finished saying that, they suddenly felt a strong ground vibration, as if a powerful earthquake was preparing to split the earth and swallow them. The wax castle that Mr.3 built, which could withstand attacks from dinosaurs, began to show worrying cracks.

"They're fighting again!... It's really annoying! Hey Miss Goldenweek, help me, check if they're fighting nearby," shouted Mr. 3 as part of his body immediately turned into wax. In a rush, he used his devil fruit to patch up the cracks in the wall.

From his serious face and the sweat flowing from his forehead, he looked worried about something as his gaze continued to look upwards, but Miss Goldenweek did not care. Even though he had complimented her, one of the qualities that drove him to hate her was how uncaring she could be.
