Zoro was napping as usual, using my lap as a pillow, of course Sanji had freaked out first saying why should moss head get to sleep on my lap "I don't see you sleeping right now"I simply said before Sanji turned his attention to Luffy and i watched just cause "Don't lie to me Luffy, tell me what you know right now, don't look away i want you to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth right now"he said pinching Luffy's cheek.

"No idea what you mean Sanji, i don't know anything really"Luffy said, i snickered a bit even from here i could tell he was a terrible liar "Then let me ask you how did enough food for nine people which i carefully divided up to last until we reached Alabasta suddenly go missing in the middle of the night?"Sanji asked, Luffy said nothing.

"Lying is pointless so just tell me the truth you have a terrible poker face"Sanji said grabbing Luffy's face but Luffy still said nothing, Sanji got up "Oh it looks like you have something on your mouth there"he said "I forgot about the crums!"Luffy yelled before quickly covering his mouth "I knew it was you!"Sanji said kicking Luffy away, i quietly laughed to myself, i didn't wanna bring attention to my laugh, i knew it was weird.

"Jerk, hey Nami we need to do something we need a better way to keep the food safe from Luffy can we please buy a refrigerator that locks?"Sanji asked turning to Nami on the balcony "Well maybe, might be a good idea since it could be a matter of life and death"Nami said turning to Usopp, Chopper and Karoo who were fishing, ah i see, they must have stolen some of the food as well, greedy bastards.

"Well we really do need to catch something for Sanji"Usopp said, Sanji walked over to them "So how's the fishing going?"he asked them and banged their heads together "Pathetic i can't take my eyes off anyone"Sanji said, i giggled a bit again and started coming Zoro's hair with my fingers as he started snoring, i leaned back taking a nap as well.

I woke up as i smelled sulfur and coughed, we must be passing by a hot spot and saw the boys had caught someone on the duck, they fell and we had to save them cause they couldn't swim "I thought i was going to die there for a minute"the guy said dripping wet, by now Zoro was up too cause i was the one who saved this weird guy, so i was dripping wet too, thankfully it was nice and sunny so i should dry quickly.

Anyway "Hey you saved me thanks, i never imagined my life would be saved by a group of complete strangers, thanks again i'll never forget your kindness although could i trouble you for a cup of warm soup? A chicken noodle will do"the guy said.

"No way!"we yelled at him "We can't even feed ourselves!"Zoro yelled, the guy then noticed Vivi and quite creepily flirted with her, ew, "So uh you really can't swim huh?"Luffy asked "That's right you see i ate a Devil Fruit so i can't swim even a little bit"the guy said "Yeah what kind of fruit?"Usopp asked "Let's see well since i can't go anywhere until my ship picks me up so there's no harm in a little fun, for saving my life i'll show you"the guy said.

"Now get ready, this is my power!"the guy said before smacking Luffy right in the face "Why'd you!"Zoro said drawing two of his sword getting ready to fight when he was cut off by a familiar voice "Wait wait hold on a second this is all for just a little fun remember? Hey now mean guy relax"the guy said except he looked exactly like Luffy.

"Wait that's me!"Luffy said "Fun fun fun fun!"the Luffy clone laughed "And if i touch my face with my left hand i'm back to normal, now that is the power of the clone clone devil fruit you see"the guy said changing back "Amazing"Nami said "The body and the voice match perfectly"Usopp said, the guy then touched all our faces "There but honestly i didn't have to slap you around like that kay? Now watch"the guy said and changed himself into Usopp.

"All i have to do"he changed into Zoro "Is touch my right hand to you"he changed into Chopper "As you can see i can mimic anyone"he then chanced into Nami, please don't do me, that would be just freaky "That's not all i can change bodies too"the clone Nami said revealing her chest, i'm just glad this freak didn't stop on me, Nami punched the guy "Stop that!"she said.

"Uhm guy are you okay?"Luffy asked "Well i'm terribly sorry but i should demonstrate my power anymore"the guy said "No please do more!"Luffy cheered with Usopp and Chopper cheering with him "Alright if you absolutely insist i guess i can show you more"the guy said "Really haming it up huh?"Nami asked as Zoro, her and myself were back by the ship's railing "Let them have their fun"I said.

"Well then i have something even more incredible i come equipped with a memory feature"the guy said and showed Luffy, Usopp and Chopper some random faces which i could see the side profile of being where i was, sitting next to Zoro "This is just boring"Zoro said well that i could agree on, just a bit.

"Well did everyone enjoy my super secret special talent? It's quite impressive but i almost never show it off"the guy said, i sweatdropped as Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, a group i shall from now on refer to as the children or kids started dancing with the weird guy "Oh whatever"Nami sighed turning away from that crazy display, then she seemed to notice something so i had a look too, a ship was approaching us.

The guy jumped on the railing "It's time to say goodbye already? What a shame"he said "Nooo!" the children yelled "No you can't leave please don't go"Usopp begged "Try not to be sad journey's must always include farewells and yet i will never forget you or today, it's been brief but true friendship isn't determined by time don't cry friends!"the guy said jumping over to his ship.

I rolled my eyes stepping away as the kids cried after him "Now quickly let's get going!"i heard the guy say "Yes sir Mr.2 Mr. Bon Clay  sir!"i heard his crew say as they sailed off "Mr.2!"Usopp gasped "That guy is Mr.2?"Vivi said "Vivi you mean you didn't know by just looking?"Luffy asked "Nah i've never met Mr.2 or Mr.1 and his partner, i don't know much about any of them or what their powers may be, though i have heard rumors about them all, I heard about Mr.2, apparently he's a very tall ballerina, talks like a woman and he always wear a swan coat the coat says bon clay on the back"Vivi said.

I sweatdropped, for rumors that was pretty accurate to that guy "Is something wrong Vivi?"Luffy asked "I saw something in his memory and the faces that he showed us one of those faces belonged to my father Cobra Nefertari, my father the king of Alabasta"Vivi said "That's not good, he can mimic the face of a king that easily Mr.2 has the potential to cause a lot of trouble"Zoro said "I bet that's exactly what Crocodile is counting on, whatever his plan is i'm sure it involves that man taking the place of Vivi's father"i said "Looks like we let a really bad guy get away today huh?"Usopp asked.

"So that guy is our enemy?"Chopper asked "Seems so and having him on the other side is not a good thing"Nami said and walked over "If Mr.2 realizes we're the one Baroque works is after then he can use the memories he got earlier to transform into any one of us, we wouldn't be able to trust each other"Nami said.

"Really?"Luffy asked not really getting it "I will explain it again"Nami said "No hold on a sec, Luffy's slow but he's right not to be scared just hear me out on this one and i think you'll agree, it's actually a good thing we ran into Mr.2 when we did because now we can prepare and we can beat him at his own game"Zoro said with a smirk, oh i do love that smirk.

The Merry started rocking around as a huge cat like creature came out of the water "That thing is huge!"Luffy said "A sea cat"Vivi said "It's a sea monster!"Chopper said as he and Usopp were freaking out, Zoro drew his swords ready to fight this thing "It looks like food to me!"Zoro said "Yeah let's go!"Luffy said "Food for me"Luffy said looking particularly possessed, the cat backed away "It's backing away!"Zoro said "Reverse put the boat in reverse!"Luffy said.

"No we can't do that!"Usopp yelled "Hey don't let it get away if the two of you don't capture it i'll kill you!"Sanji said running over, i was fine with them attacking and killing this cute cat cause we needed food, "Now then sea kitten how do you think i should cook you?"Sanji asked joining Luffy and Zoro.

"No!"Vivi said hitting them with a broom as the cat swam away "Vivi what are you doing? I'm hungry"Luffy said "Why? Just why it was food?"Sanji asked as i was checking on Zoro "Because you can't eat a sea cat, i just can't let you sea cats are sacred animals in Alabasta"Vivi said "There are more animals in the ocean then i thought"Chopper said, ignoring Usopp, "Our food got away"Luffy cried biting on the railing "Yeah but don't worry Luffy you'll be able to stuff yourself full really soon"Vivi said.

"Yeah really? Will we get another cat to eat Vivi?"Luffy asked "Vivi the wind and weather seem to be stabilising"Nami said walking over "Uh huh, we're entering the climate area of Alabasta island seeing a sea cat come out of the water is proof as well"Vivi said.

"Those things you see behind us there is all the proof i need that we're getting close"Zoro said pointing out the hundreds of Baroque Works ships behind us "It looks as though all the Baroque works employees have started gathering, i'm guessing these are the billions they're the subordinates under the officer agents"Vivi said "Which mean that there are at least two hundred enemies waiting for us"Nami said "The best Baroque Works has to offer, the elite of the underlings this group will surely be a lot better then those at Whiskey Peak"Vivi said.

"I doubt that, if their only one step up from the guys in Whiskey Peak they can't be any more challenging then they were"i said as Usopp was aiming the cannon "Let's blow them all away!"he yelled "It'll be quicker if we go over there and beat them up"Luffy said but then his stomach growled "Hold on though i need to eat something first"he said "Come on, Nicole has a point, they're not worth it, don't bother"Zoro said.

"He's right we need to keep our eyes on the price or we might loose this all together, after all nine against two hundred sucks"Sanji said.

"Let me help with that"i said to Zoro and tied up the bandage around his arm "Thanks, let me help you too"he said and tied mine up, these weren't because we were injured, they had a different meaning all together "What a good plan"Vivi said "We'll always know who our friends are just look for the bandage on their arm"Nami said.

"This clone clone fruit guy? So is he that similar when he turns into someone else?"Sanji asked having missed the whole thing "You have no idea it was the same not just similar, it was crazy really, you should have seen it Sanji he changed into every one of us, even Nami and except Nicole, and then we got to dance with him"Usopp said.

"I'm not really interested in dancing with a male ballerina"Sanji said "We know that someone with his powers is among the enemy so we need to be careful to be on our guard at all times" Zoro said, i nodded in agreement.

"I can see the island now!"Luffy called "Let's stop at the town called Nanohana we have to hide the ship"Vivi said "Okay, no matter what happens on that island remember this thing on all our arms is a sign of our friendship"Luffy said as we each showed off the bandage, i was between Luffy and Zoro, "Now let's land okay? Then eat! oh and help Vivi"Luffy said "That's a side note?"we all asked him sweatdropping.
