Little Garden

After one day the crew gathered at the Merry. After Luffy and Alvida arrived, the crew was shocked. All of them looked towards the black-haired girl and they couldn't even recognize her.

Alvida lost a lot of weight. She was still a little bit chubby, but it was no comparison to her previous look. They all looked towards their captain in horror. Whatever he did to train Alvida, it had to be a torture to lose so much weight in only one day.

Luffy looked towards the blue-haired beauty from time to time. Nojiko transformed back, nobody could see that she was a Banshee Queen in reality. He didn't have a good feeling about her, he relied so much on his Observation Haki, but this girl could completely ignore his years of training.

The crew set sail towards the next island. It was a relaxed journey and Igaram didn't have to sacrifice himself, so he departed together with the crew.

After a while, they heard the voice of someone unknown on their ship. They all looked towards the woman who was sitting in front of them. Luffy knew a long time ago that this woman arrived on their ship, but he ignored her.

"What an interesting group. I think you are the captain, boy?", she smiled towards Luffy.

Vivi recognized this woman and couldn't hide her fear.

"This is Miss All-Sunday! She is the partner of Crocodile. The second strongest in Baroque Works!"

The crew sighed at Vivi. Why did she fear that organization so much? Nami patted her shoulder.

"Vivi, this girl is clearly stupid. She just arrived in the middle of our ship. Who is stupid enough to challenge our crazy captain in such a way? This girl is done for..."

The rest of the crew nodded towards that. Even if they stood in front of an Emperor of the Four Seas, they would feel more fear towards their mysterious captain. He was too strong, even if you ignored all the monsters he was hiding.

After Vivi looked towards Luffy, she saw that he had stars in his eyes when he looked at Miss All-Sunday. She couldn't help but frown at that. Was he happy that this woman was on their ship?

"Nico Robin! Finally, you appear. I'm so happy!"

The captain jumped beside the woman who wore a cowboy hat and started to hug her.

Nico Robin started to sweat. Nobody was this intimate with her since she witnessed the destruction of Ohara. Her first reaction was to activate her Devil Fruit and two arms appeared on the shoulder of Luffy. The arms tried to punch him, break his neck, and many other things. But everything she tried didn't work, it was like this man was made out of steel.

She started to get a bad feeling. The way this captain was grinning at her was genuine, something she saw the last time over two decades ago.

Ain and Hina looked towards Nico Robin with interest. So she was the girl their captain told them about two years ago. Ain knew she had a bounty, but she couldn't be angry at that girl, even though she didn't like pirates at all. She knew that Nico Robin was innocent.

The Talk-no-Jutsu Luffy used two years ago started to work. It was an ultimate technique after all.

"You are officially kidnapped, Nico Robin. I will train and protect you. Don't worry!"

The crew just sighed at that. They knew that when their captain wanted someone in the crew, nobody could stop him.

"Why do you want to kidnap me, do you want that I read the ancient language for you?", it was no surprise for Robin that someone wanted to kidnap her. It happened all the time. Everyone was interested in the mysterious history of this world.

"Who cares about these guys who wrote all these indestructible stones? If we find them you can read them, you don't have to tell me what is written on them. I just want you!"

Nico Robin blushed. The crew was a little bit nervous, too. The way their captain said that was a little bit ambiguous.

After that, the crew departed for the next island on their journey that was called Little Garden.

What surprised Nico Robin was that he let her run free on his ship, so she did the thing every sane person would do and tried to escape. Before she could, she was always stopped by a little dragon-like creature that stumbled all the time. She tried to defeat the dragon but she couldn't do anything against him. She was astonished by how strong he was.

At night, the crew started to sleep. Nico Robin thought that this was the perfect time to escape, and before she could do it, she saw a ghost-like woman with long white hair and red eyes. Nico Robin returned to the ship and decided that she shouldn't offend this strange crew in the future...

Luffy was sleeping with little Gible in his arms. He awoke in the middle of the night because he wanted to drink something, and when he opened his eyes he screamed out of fear.

On top of him was a girl, floating a couple of centimeters over his body. This girl was a Banshee Queen that was looking at him with an emotionless face all night.

She was Nojiko.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"

This scream woke up the whole crew.

"I just like to watch you when you sleep...", the ghost girl answered.

"Damn it, my next Pokemon should be strong against the ghost-type... This girl is haunting me!"

...

The crew arrived at Little Garden.

"This island has a lot of beasts, so it is a good training ground to test your strength. Nico Robin and Vivi will come with me. Those two require some improvements."

The rest of the crew looked towards the two girls with pity. Robin and Vivi started to get a bad feeling about this.

"I will follow you, too. I will help you train them!", Alvida smiled.

Of course, how could the personal pet of their captain not follow her master? They didn't want to know how strong the chubby Alvida was at the moment. She survived the training of their captain every day since she arrived.

"Don't disappoint me. Oh, and an agent is on this island. Someone of you should take care of him. Let's go, girls!"

Vivi looked towards Nami with tears in her eyes. There was no escaping for them. Everyone who accompanied them on their journey had to go through his training regime.

Luffy explained Haki to the women and then he started to train their physical bodies. This was of course done with the help of little Chansey. It was the usual routine - they would exhaust themselves until they couldn't move a finger, and then they would be healed and repeat the same process again. Alvida would do the same, she was his precious little student after all.

When he trained Nico Robin he focused on Armament Haki. Her fruit had potential, but that was only the case if she had the strength to do actual damage with her fist. If he or Garp would eat that fruit, it would be a tremendous improvement in their strength. If Luffy had hundreds of fist he could use in the fight, it would change everything. Nico Robin could only break the neck's of some mob characters, and that was a waste for her Devil Fruit. So he started to train her in that department. He was sure that she could become strong after he finished the training with her.

Vivi was weak in all departments, so he focused on the basics with her. The good thing was that she could be strengthened with a Devil Fruit in the future.

After a while, they arrived in front of a giant. The name of the giant was Dorry. They became friends pretty quickly.

"Alvida, this is a good chance to test your improvements. Fight Dorry without Haki, only with your physical strength."

Alvida would do everything her captain ordered her to, and Dorry would never say no to a fight.

Both of them attacked the other with a fist. When the two fists collided it made the same sound like thunder. Vivi and Robin were shocked. Alvida was so little in comparison to this giant, but they realized that her physical strength was on the same level as Dorry.

After that, they continued their fight, and Alvida was equally strong to the giant. The most astonishing thing was that she never got tired, but the giant couldn't continue after a couple of hours.

This was the result of the torture she survived with her personal trainer. Her physical strength could even defeat a famous giant without much effort.

Luffy patted Alvida on her head and she blushed. If she would continue her training under him, then she would become a monster, even without the power of a Devil Fruit.
