Two Princess and the Fall of The Desert King I

*Flashback*

Twenty July,

It was a warm night when the seventeen years old girl was standing in the middle of the big room, waiting for the maids to prepare her.

She was wearing a long, strapless black dress. It had a low neckline and back, showing off her tattooed back as the dress had decorated rare gems on the top while the skirt part was coming down softly as it also had a very long tail. She had a shinny black high heels as it heels were also decorated with the same rare gems along with a sharp fingered gloves made of from diamonds that comes to her forearm. Except these she had nothing, no jewelry or make up on her as her white hair with golden strands was free. She was thinking the dress was unnecasseray heavy but there was nothing she could do about it since today was.. Her thoughts were cut off when the maids placed the long cape on her shoulders. It had a starry looking with the dark blue color that almost looked like black and it was too long.

''You look gorgeous, your highness!'' one of the maids with knives all over her said as she step back

''It will be an unforgettable night!'' other with a pistol on her belt also said as they look at the girl

''Is that so...?'' The girl asked slowly with a slight smile while startting to walk towards the big and heavy door ''I have also a feeling that I wont be able to forget this day, like..'' she said as the doors opened and start to walk. With every step of hers, the slit on her dress was showing her legs and her long cape that looking like the stars fell over on it was waving along with her waist long hair. ''Never.'' she said the moment heavy doors closed behind her while she still had her smile.

She was going to another big and heavy doors this time while she was walking through the hall of the castle. She was looking forward but she could feel the eyes of the guardians on her as she walked. She came to stop for a moment in front of the doors and waited them to open it. When she saw the people filled the huge throne room, she hold her breath for a moment. Right, this was her seventeenth birthday and also it was her crown day.

It was an old tradition of their families that once the child is seventeen, he/she would take over the family, no matter what and it didnt change even to that day and even though they had their own country. There was no outsider on the island that day and every one of their people was there for her crowning, bowing their heads slightly with her coming while also looking at the girl with mesmerized faces. She was young and pure looking yet she was looking magnificent as she walk pass them.

She was slowly walking towards to the thone, where her father waits, without glancing to anyone or anything. But as she look at the throne, her mind gone back to a couple of months ago for just a moment.

x

Three months ago,

Soon to be seventeen years old girl was sitting on the sumptuous throne with a bored face as she look at the papers in her hands when her fathers right hand man suddenly come in the throne room.

''Whats wrong?'' she asked with an empty voice of hers as the man come in a stop in front of the throne

''Your majesty,'' he start as he slightly bowed his head ''We are under attack'' with a calm voice, causing the girl to sigh with a slight irritation as she also give the papers to the woman besides her right side to hold.

''So?'' she asked in a bored tone with a tilted head ''Why are you telling this to me? Go and deal with it'' She said, not understanding why he was even there to inform her. It wasnt like they got attacked the first time, in fact it was the opposite, they would get attacked all the time and even though she didnt want to admitted, they were stronger then her anyway since the attacks never reached to the country. Why bother her now?

''It's a buster call'' the man said with his calm tone again

''Oh...'' the girl said with a sigh and start to get up from the throne that she sit relaxingly. She was wearing a fluffy white skirt with a short front and a long back along with a deep neckline, white strapless top crop that it had golden engravings on it. She also had a white shinny high heels with a golden heels and a white feather capalet with high collar on her. One of her tiaras was on her head, around her forehead, that made of from white gold was shinning under the light and the pure gold midst on the tiara that comes on her forehead was glamorous.

She took the heavy cane from her right side. It was also pure white but its grip was shaped like an eye ball and it was made of gold. Her steps echoed in the big room along with the sounds of the cane as she walk towards to the terrace, to where she could see the country clearly with the man also following her behind.

As she was leaning to the cane she hold with her right silver skeleton hand, she also put her left hand on her right one and start to look to horizon with an emotionless eyes. She could see the battle ships coming towards them. They couldnt attack with out a permission of the royal family to this kind of attacks since there was supposed to be a boundary between them and the World Goverment and Marines

Her left index finger with the insigna ring on it was slowly going up and down on her right hand as she think. She was remembered the past for a moment. Long ago, she was asked to her twin brother why they have to protect the country that they want to destroy or run away, the country that no one but criminals lived, the country that they didnt like at all. He was said that 'No matter what, we are still the prince and princess of this country, the future rulers, so its our responsibility to protect it with everyone in it. If we want it gone then we have to do it ourselves.'

She let a short sigh as she remembered this and opened her eyes. ''Seems like they know father is not here'' she said slowly. Her father was gone to the New World for three days now and left the country to her while also saying that she should be getting used to it since she will be crowned soon. They must have thought that it was the best time for to attack to their kingdom ''When was the last time they sent a buster call..?'' she asked as she look at the horizon

''It was just after when your father, his majesty crowned as the king'' The man answered behind her left side, causing the girl to slightly smile

''What do you think, Klein? Should we repeat the history then?'' she let a short chuckle before she talk again ''Release the laughing gas'' She said with an emotionless voice before she turn her head slightly to the back and look at the man ''But dont forget to let one alive, to tell the tale'' even thought her voice and face had no emotion, she had a slight smile on her lips.

The man, who's name is Klein, bowed more deeply at this ''Yes, your majesty'' and start to leave, leaving the girl in the terrace all alone as she also turn back to watch the battle ships coming towards their country. Her grip on her cane was tightened and her smile was now gone as she watch them to kill those marines. Those man were there to attack them, so they should be already ready to die anyway, even though she knew it was rather a ruthless way to kill them, she also knew it was something she had to do as to made them understand.

It was already hard to be the princess of the Grant Kingdom but it was much more harder to be the ruler of the kingdom you hate so much. She let a sigh and look at the sky for a moment 'Just three more months..' she thought before she gone back inside and keep going what she was doing.

x

She was hated it and she wasnt the one to hate something that easily. Even though she was crowned and wanted to change this country, it was too late since her father made it clear their knowledge to the World Government. If they showed any weakness, it would be their destruction so thats why she made that deal and choose this day for the end it. She couldnt let both the World Government or her father to do what they wanted but she also knew that she had no power to stop them at the moment.

Her mind come back when her father stand right in front of her with a crown in his hands. It was a simple crown, similiar to her tiaras. It was fitting around her forehead and the single gem on it made it look like she had a third eye.

''All hail, Queen Grant D. Luna!'' Klein declared loudly as everyone in the huge room start to bow their heads.

Luna however, wasnt hearing anything since she step in this room and she was locked her eyes with her father all the while he was placing the crown on her head. She was like watching everything happen behind a glass and hearing all the voices like she was underwater

But the moment she announced as the queen, something no one to wait happened. Everywhere from the country, explosion voices start to rise and the castle's big windows break into its pieces as a lot of man and women suddenly came in. In a matter of seconds, all country were in chaos while the new queen and the old king were still looking at each others eyes as the Revolutionary Army were start to attack to their country.

She could see the amuse that start to came in her fathers eyes before even a minute that the attacking started. He was looking too happy like a man who's playing a game but Luna wasnt taken a back from this even a little bit. She always knew that her father always knew she would do this one day. Though Luca wasnt waiting this happen on that day.

As her father suddenly burst into laughing, she glance at Dragon and at the young blonde besides him. Mounths ago they were decided that this day would be the day for their attack and she was also asked to be the one who kills her father. She didnt know if she could though, hell she was sure that she would die against her father. She was ready for it though and if she would die while trying, Dragon would be the one to kill him. This was one of the part of the deal and Dragon was the only one in that country at the moment, who really had the power to kill Grant D. Luca.

''Ohh.. My little lotus flower..'' Luca said with a clearly amused voice as he calm down from his laugh, he was looking like he was playing his last and supreme game ''I always knew you would do this one day but..'' He start to laugh again. It was too sudden and even though Luna was knowing this would happen, she was still couldnt completely fathom the situation. She knew that everyone was fighting and killing eachother on the background with a complete choas all over the country. She knew that even this was a surprise attack, their people were strong enough to fight back but everything was blury to her as she was only seeing her father. He was opened his arms widely while laughing ''Who would have thought you would work with revolutionaries and attack on your crown day!'' He laugh more loudly at this ''Even I was waited for a year!'' He then look at Luna as she just keep stand there and for a moment, first time in her life she was taken aback with seeing her fathers face. With the little smile on his face, his eyes didnt have madness for the first time as he look at his daughter

''One move'' He said with a calm voice that Luna wasnt used to hear at all ''If you still be able to get up on your feet back after that..'' he looked right into her eyes ''I will let you kill me''

While Luna was still looking at her father, without even time to think and understand, she suddenly fell on her knees as she felt like she was chrushing down as she aslo suddenly gasp for breath as her vision getting blury. It wasnt just her though, everyone on the country, their people or not, felt shivers down on their spines while some fell unconscious even though he was only focusing on his daughter. She knew her father's Conqueror's Haki was too damn strong and evil but she forced every inch of her to not to fall unconscious.

After minutes later, Grant D. Luca stopped and look at his daugher with so much amuse. She was on her knees and was gasping for breath as she was also looking like she's about to fall but she forced herself to get up on her feet back. He was remembered the day he also killed his father and unlike his daughter he was killed him silently. His eyes shined as he look at Luna and thought about the years ago.

Luna on the other hand, was struggling to get up but forcing herself no matter what. She didnt know but her eyes were shining with determination after such a long time. She couldnt fall, the moment she closed her eyes she was seeing her other half, so she knew that she couldnt fall right that moment. Every second of her life pass through in her mind in these short minutes that felt much longer and when it was finally over, she knew that now she can do it.

After finally stand still, she look at her father and saw that he was again opening wide his arms. ''I knew it! It was always you, who's much more like me!'' He said loudly as he start to laugh again while Luna also start to walk towards him. She knew what he meant with his words, children who kill their parents for their own freedom, no matter what that freedom meant.

She never take her eyes on him from the start and keep watch him with every step she got closer.

Luca was also didnt take his eyes from her as he wondered how she will kill him without any weapon of hers as he was saw her katana was with the blonde revolutionary and she didnt take it from him.

Luna answered his thoughts when her hand suddenly dug in his chest and grab a hold of his heart. She could see the true happines in his eyes the moment she hold his heart

Grant D. Luna didnt know but there was a single tear that fell from one of her eyes as she hold his heart in her palm and felt its beat. Young girl, for the first time in her life felt like she was really seeing her father as she look at his eyes. He was an insane man, a criminal genius but he was aslo looking for freedom too even though it was the wrong way. She knew that it wasnt right but she couldnt help herself to all the hatred to vanish in that moment. She might be hated him for what he had done all this time but with the simple reason as he was her father was enough to love to be there as well. She, in the end, was an orphan in her past, a child that hungry for a family, so she knew that no matter what, deep down she even loved him.

With all these thoughts in her mind, she get closer and for the first time, she kissed his check ''Good bye, father'' she said with an honest smile, shocking Luca also for the first time. He knew she smiled like this to Anne and Leo but never to him before. In a matter of seconds, he shortly wanted to see his daughter's future but he also do the thing that shocked Luna to her core. He smiled just like Luna, an honest and serene smile, there was nothing from him as Grant D. Luca that moment and looked like a simple father for the first and the last time as she ripped out his heart.

She watched her father's fall as the crown on his head also fall on the ground with him, it was like she was watching everthing in slow motion until his father was completely fall. She look at the heart in her hand for just a moment before it sliped in her hands and fall too. She closed her eyes just for a moment and slowly turned her back as her hand gone to the crown on her head before she throw it away and start to walk to the doors she came in.

As she was taking her sword from the young blonde man while she was also taking off of her starry looking cape, her eyes met with Dragon, who's watching everyting from a far. After they look at each other for a moment, both of them nod their heads as they girl start to walk again to get ready since there was still things to do.

She unseathed her katana and as the blood red flames appeared on it, she start to kill everyone in her way while her father's blood was still dripping from her right hand.

x

After she changed her clothes and take every important thing she has, she was looking at the mirror with a lot of thoughts in her mind as her eyes were empty. There was still a glint of fire in it though, waiting its time which it was very but very soon.

She turned her head to the big windows that covered all big and high wall and look at the moon. Her left hands fingers involuntarily gone to her right forearm and lingered there for a moment, on the three dark letters. After a little moment later, a little smile appaered on her face and with a last glance at the mirror, she start to walk towards to big and heavy door.

It was time...

x

She was one of the Revolutionary Army's ship and watching her country as the ship start to sail away from it. There was no one alive in that country now and she could see that it wasnt an easy victory as she glance at Dragon's men. Slaves were all also saved and was in another ship and with deal they made, there was no information taken from her country either.

''Is this really going to work?'' She look at the voice who asked the question

''Of course its gonna work, it took too damn long time to made it!'' Luna said as she look at the button in her hand

''Dont jinx us now, Sabo! I know is gonna work!'' Lindbergh said as he look at him with a big smile. He was excited to see it actually. A bomb could destroy a whole island, it was almost an equal power to Ancient Weapons and he played a part to made a weapon like that. His eyes lingered on Luna as he thought what a genius young woman she is. Though Luna would deny this if she knew his thoughts since it wasnt her but the scientists from her previous life were the genius ones. All she did was to mix the two worlds knowledge afterall.

''We're safe distance now!'' Koala came as she said loudly, causing everyone to turn to Luna and wait.

Luna look at her country, her home, for the last time as her all life pass through in her mind again. She closed her eyes as she took a breath and suddenly push the button the moment she opened her eyes. She was holding her breath as they were waiting and after thirty seconds later she pushed the button, suddenly a huge explosion happened. Everyone was watching with eyes that clearly in awe. Luna wasnt just made a bomb but she was made it in her style. So it was looking like a firework show more than a destruction as the island start to fall apart.

Luna couldnt take her eyes away as she watch it with a shinny eyes. She felt like the last chains around her body break into its pieces with this and the view in front of her was looking like it was a celebration for her freedom.

It took one whole hour until it ended and even all West Blue saw the beautiful firework show as the sun was also about the rise but when its end, there was nothing left behind. The Diyu island that once there was now nothing but an empty place with a hole in the middle of the ocean and start to rapidly being filled with water.

Everyone was still watching in silent as to what they witnessed but Luna, who suddenly feels so free and light, turned to them with a big smile ''Well, this calls for a party now, right?!'' She said loudly with a laugh, getting everyone out of their silent stance as some also start to agree with her

Sabo sigh at this ''Why I'm not even surprised?'' he asked lowly but Dragon chuckled at this

''Well, it was a big victory so a party doesnt sound that bad'' he said, shocking Sabo as he start to look at him to understand that if he's really his boss.

After everyone decided on the party and start to preparations, Luna come towards Dragon and suddenly hugged him, causing him to tense up with the sudden act but before he could even say anything ''Thank you'' he heard Luna's low voice.

She knew that she couldnt do anything without his help. Even though it was just a deal that suddenly come out from nowhere, she was glad that she met with him that day. He could reject or couldnt even care to listen her but he was and now she felt completely free for the first time in her life and she was owned this to him greatly.

''If it wasnt you, we couldnt come this far'' Dragon said as he patted her head a little. If it would be an easy thing to destroy the Grant Kingdom, everyone would done it until now. It was thanks to Luna that they could do it, if the princess herself wasnt the inside man..

With the party started as to celebrate the destruction of Diyu, Luna was laughing happily with the revolutionaries as the ship sail towards the Island of White Soil, Baltigo.

She didnt know what her actions would bring on her in the future or what she caused but she didnt even care when she saw the newspaper next day or heard whats going on

x

The next day, newspapers distribute world wide with the big news. Front page of the papers were saying that Diyu island comletely destroyed on the day of the princess's crown day and the Grant Kingdom fall with everyone inside dead, inculuding the king and the one who's responsible for this was the Revolutionary Army.

These news brought choas on the world. In all four blues, only West Blue was aware of the Grant Kingdom and the rest was the countries that member of the World Government but their people wouldnt know. But the Grand Line was different. Some people were celebrating that the Demon country was no longer exist, some were talking about what happened to their weapons and knowledge and scared that it was in the hands of revolutionaries now. Some countries were in miserable situation as their weapons were no longer coming, some were in bad shape as their drugs were no more coming and the slavery traffic were stopped for a while. But aside from everyone in the world, there was also people who encountered with Grant D Luna before

In the North Blue, a pink haired woman was looking at the newspaper in her hands with a little smile. She didnt knew what happened but she knew that there was no way her best friend would die like that. She look up to the sky and suddenly felt proud somehow. She wondered if her country would also one day got destroyed too or if she had the courge to do it herself

x

Somewhere else in the North Blue, a tattooed man with a fury hat was laughing as his navigator looking at him with worry.

''D is call up a storm again'' He said as he laugh ''I wonder when will we be seeing her again''

''What are you talking about captain? It says she's dead'' The fluffy fury white bear said with a confused face, causing his captain to chuckle a little

''There is nothing like that says here'' as he look at the horizon and remembered the past a little ''There is no way she would die like this'' He said with a certain smile

x

In the West Blue,

''Hihahaha!'' a short man with a stocky build whose appearance is looks like a Mafia boss was laughing hysterically

''We could be free now with their gone, father!'' One of the mans said, causing to mans laugh to stop

''Right! We can have all the West now, father!'' another man said

''Free? Have all the West? Dont be stupids! Now that she's gone it will be nothing but boring!'' he said before he start to laugh again. He was saw the fireworks too and he knew who really did that ''Should we prepare to sail the seas?'' He said with a smirk as he look at the horizon and throw the newspaper that full of lies

x

In the first part of the Grand Line, Paradise

A tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache and sideburns that point upward and eyes like hawks were looking at the newspaper as he was sitting on his throne in his dark room. He was chuckling while thinking how ridiculous the news were

x

In paradise,

On a massive mangrove forest growing out from the middle of the ocean, an old man with his round glasses and the scar over his right eye was also reading the newspaper like the rest of the world while he was also gambling on the lawless area. He was laughing loudly as he read the news

''Hahahaha! What a good opening to the new era that coming close!'' as he keep laughing while he also keep drinking his whiskey

x

In the country full of sand,

A woman with a raven hair and a man with a golden hook instead of his right hand were both reading the news too

''You're from West Blue too, so you must know them, right?'' The man said with his deep and relaxed voice, causing the woman to nod while she also made a confirming sound

The man chuckled deep ''Its bullshit'' as he throw the paper, getting womans attention ''World Government already knows that the princess is alive and in the underworld, De Luna is still active'' his chuckle then turn into laughing ''I really wonder their faces when that girl come out once more!'' It was true. De Luna's name was still active in the underworld, no one knew where she was though and even if they knew they werent talk anyway. They were already guessed that she was the one made revolutionaries to destroy Diyu and the rumors with whispers were also already started. Some even hated from her for this as a war already started in the underworld for territories with Grant Kingdom is no more.

There was no voice coming from her though, like she was silently watching for now.

The woman also made a smile at his words ''It would be sad if she'd be death before I couldnt had the chance to meet her'' with a slight smile but in her mind she was in relief that she was alive and once she get out of the room, she smiled truly and wondered what she's gonna do next

x

In the New World, On Moby Dick,

''What the hell?!'' Ace yelled loudly with a shocked face as his brothers were also reading the news with surprised faces while his captain was reading with intense eyes

''Gurararara!'' The strongest man in the world laugh as he drink his sake ''Seems like the new era is already at our doors!'' with his smirk as he look at the sea and the waves

''You think she is alive too, pops?'' Marco asked. It was suspicious as there was no word about her on the news expect it was her crown day. Whitebeard laugh at his sons words again while all of his crew were also looking at him

''She is alive'' with a certain voice and a knowing face before he laugh and take another gulp from his huge bottle of sake

They didnt see it but a man with a big mouth also with several broken or missing teeth, a pronounced crooked nose and a very large and hairy chest and torso, was smirking evily on the background

x

However there were also other people who's hungry for power too

In the Whole Cake Island,

Charlotte Linlin was laughing with anger

''Mamamama!'' as the thunder sound echoed over the island ''Grant Kingdom destroyed by revolutionaries?'' She throw the newspaper ''What about their knowledge?!'' She yelled in anger ''There is no word about that little princess! Go and found more information!'' She yelled causing her children to run off with seeing their Mama's angry state

''Dont worry mama,'' Prometheus said as to calm her down ''If she is alive we can kill her!''

''Kill her?'' Linlin said with a shadowed face ''Mamamama! I dont want to kill her!'' She said with a happy face before her smile turned to an evil one ''I want all of her knowledge before I kill her!'' and she start to laugh again as her homies start to sing a deadly song that somehow sounded like a happy song

x

In the Wano Country, Onigashima,

The Strongest Creature as the people called was crying as he was also drunk

''After that Oden I knew taking information by force was meaningless but..'' as his three best men were watching him while holding the newspaper

''Calm down Kaido-sama'' King said as he intensely look at the newspaper in his hands ''There is no word about the princess is also died'' causing Kaido's tears to stop as he drink his sake in one gulp

''Then open your ears and eyes'' He said with an evil smile ''The moment she step in the New World, we will be taking her!'' and start to laugh. He knew Linlin would be also doing the same, so he was going to take her first

''Made a contact with Joker too since Luca gone now he should be able to take over the underworld'' he said with a laugh as he drink another sake from the big bottle

As Queen gone to made a call to Joker, he didnt know that the Joker was laughing in his kingdom, waiting the day he will see her again.

x

The Five Elders were sitting in the Room of Authority in Pangaea Castle as they were looking at the newspaper in their hands with an unreadable faces, just like the red haired pirate somewhere in the New World's seas.

''Its a big problem.'' said the bald one with a large birthmark spots on his forehead and a large white mustache

''We dont know if she told anything to the revolutionaries or if she became a revolutionary herself too'' the one with oldest looking. He was bald, with glasses and a white gi as he was also holding a samurai sword with him

''She might be since we're the real responsible ones for her brother's death and she already knows it too'' the youngest looking of the Five Elders with blond hair, a beard of the same color, and a scar on his chest said.

''Adalstienn Euseby, huh?'' the bald one with a large birthmark on his forehead asked with a sigh

''It was a clear message as she sent him on Reverie.'' the blond haired one said

''It was a very brutal way to kill someone'' the bald one with the birthmark said again with face that saying like he ate something sour while others were also looking similiar

''And there was also the buster call destruction a few months ago. Even if we tried to cover up, rumors are already spread inside the marines'' the blond one add with an unsatisfied face. That incident wasnt on the news but the marines were knew about it since that princess was left one of them alive to tell what happened, just like her father done in the past

''What are we going to do? We dont know whats going on in the underworld and almost everyone in the world thoughts she's death too'' the one with a scar on the left side of his face, that wearing a hat over gray dreadlocks, and wielding a walking cane asked

''There is nothing we can do but to wait for her to showed up. We dont have any information and for everyones best, it would be better if she wouldnt just showed up and live in silent in far away. Just like the others who also knows the truth'' the tall and thin bearded man with long white hair said calmly

''D's are always troublesome. Roger and Luca were one of the biggest ones but Luca's daughter apparently much more of a trouble. It would be better if she's take after her grandfather but lets wait quietly for now. We will take care of silently if she has any other intentions'' The bald one with glasses said as he look at his sword while others nodding in agreement

x

Of course while these people were talking about like this, the girl was laughing like she heard the joke of century as she read the news on the big ships deck

''Look Sabo! Now the whole world believes that I'm dead and there is a war start in the underworld! Ahahahah!'' She was laughing so much while holding the Den Den Mushi that she closed a moment ago after her conversation with a certain bird emperor man as Sabo let a sigh

''Is this even something to laugh?'' he asked as he was sitting on the railing but the only answer he got was more lauhing voice.

*Flashback End*

''Wha..?'' The shocked voice of Smoker get their attention ''Did you said Grant D.?'' he asked as he look at Luna while others were looking at him in confuse except Luffy, who's looking with a frown ''Thats impossible! Grant D. Luna died a year ago!'' He point at Luna with his jitte then ''She cant be Grant D. Luna!''

As they were looking surprised at this, Crocodile start to chuckle while Luna let a sigh with irritation ''Seriously, it was funny at the beginning but it start to become a bother'' She then look at Smoker with a slight frown ''Since when anyone said I was death?'' she asked

''Wait, what are you talking about?'' Nami asked with her surprised face, not understanding anything

''Yeah, why would Luna be death?'' Usopp also asked with curious and surprised as Luffy and Zoro watched in silence with frowned faces

Someker turned to them with this with a shocked face ''Are you telling me that you dont know the Grant D. name?'' he asked while confusing them more

''It wasnt that of well known in the four blues except West though'' Luna said thoughtful face ''You probably only know because you're a marine'' she said

''Well, being just a marine captain you probably never saw her but she is the real one'' Crocoddile said with a chuckle, clearly enjoying ''If not, I wouldnt troubled myself with all of these'' he add as he show the table with full of food and drinks while Smoker look more intensely at Luna as his grip on his jitte getting tighten

''Whats going on?'' Nami asked again as she felt the air gotten tense and they werent say anything

''Yeah, I dont understand..'' Usopp also said as he look at Smoker, Crocodile and Luna with a fearful eyes since Smoker was looking at Luna like he would jump on her any moment

''If she really is Grant D. Luna..'' Smoker start to say slowly ''Then it means she was the princess of the Grant Kingdom, the Demon Eye's Child'' as he look at Luna with narrowed eyes. Smoker didnt know everything about them and never saw her face before but he heard the rumors about them and he knew about the buster call incident. Every marine with ranked captain or more knew about it and hated from her for that. And it would made sense that she had sea stone weapon too if she really is Grant D. Luna

''P-PRINCESS?!'' they yelled/asked with shocked faces, except Luffy who also had a shocked face but he stayed silent. They turned to look at Luna then, who's start to eat the food in front of her without a care of the world and look at her with a blank faces.

''No, no, no'' They said at the same time as they shake their hands dissmissevly

''Are you sure you didnt got the wrong person?'' Usopp asked as Nami and Zoro nodded while Smoker was also looking with a blank face

Crocodile only smirk at this though ''Maybe we should call her Queen since she was crowned as one just before her country destroyed''

''Q-QUEEN?!'' they yelled/asked again with more shocked faces and jaws on the floor. In their mind there was no way that Luna was a princess let alone a queen

''Her country destroyed?'' Luffy asked, unlike everyone he wasnt yell again, though he was shocked too. Luna glance at Luffy with this and let a long sigh but before she could say anything Smoker gasp in shock again

''Wait! Then why were you in good terms with Revolutionary Dragon in the Loguetown?!'' He asked with a frowned face as he remembered their interaction. It wasnt something like a princess and a man who destroyed her country.

''Revolutionary Dragon?!'' Nami gasp with shock

''That man was in the Loguetown too?!'' Usopp also gasp in shock and fear

''Revolutionary Dragon?'' Luffy asked with a tilted head

''You dont know him?!'' Nami asked in shock but seeing Luffy's clueless face ''He is the most dangareous man in the world!'' she said with her still shocked face

''Wait, what do you mean why Luna was in good terms with him?'' Zoro asked with frowned face. This was something they werent expecting and Luna eating food there without a care in the world wasnt helping at all.

Smoker let a short sigh at how clueless they were but he kept looking at Luna ''It was the revolutionaries that destroyed her country but in Loguetown they were looking like in good terms. Dragon even helped you'' Smoker said as he look at Luffy at the end shortly while Luffy frown at this as he also remembered the man with the hood besides Luna somehow, though he didnt saw the man's face since he wasnt interested that time

Crocodile start to laugh at this like he heard a funny joke however ''Revolutionaries destroyed the Grant Kingdom?'' He laugh more before he finally calm down ''Right, that was what they were told the world'' he said with a smirk

''Oh come on! You only know the little bit of the truth because you're one of the Seven Warlords and have connections in the underworld.'' Luna said as she took a bite from the meat in her hands ''You wouldnt know shit if you werent either'' she add then

''What do you mean?'' Smoker asked as they were now all looking confused but Luffy suddenly remembered the first time he met Luna. She was said that she killed her father and everyone while destroying everything. His eyes got widen momently with realization that Luna killed the king and destroyed her country but he was also confused as he thought about the underworld thing since she was said that they were underword family not royals.

''It wasnt the revolutionaries that destroyed the Grant Kingdom'' Crocodile start but cut off with Luna

''It was them'' she add with a careless attitude but Crocodile ignored her as he made a smirk

''Even I dont know everything like everyone else but they say Revolutionary Dragon and Grant D. Luna made a deal, though no one knows about what deal it was or when and how even that happened'' He took a sip from his drink before he continue ''But revolutionaries managed to destroy Diyu all because of the princess helped them and the rumors says that she was the one who killed the king and it all happened on her crown day. Just after she crowned as the queen.'' he said with his smirk

''Diyu?'' Nami asked with confuse as she was shocked

''It was the islands name'' Smoker said as he was also in shock since he never thought that it would be the princess herself to destroy her kingdom and get a help from revolutionaries on top of that..

''Wait, then.. You killed your father and destroyed your own kingdom?'' Usopp asked in shock too

Luna stayed silent at this for a moment as she thought about that day but she slightly smiled as she took another bite from her meat ''Oh well, I actually made a good to this world'' she said, confusing them more

''I wouldnt deny that now'' Smoker said lowly but the ones in the cage heard of him

''What do you mean?'' Zoro asked with a frown but even he was in shock for a lot of things

Smoker let a sigh at this and go to sit on the bench inside the cage ''For all I know, Diyu island was a closed island to the world. If one were to enter that island without a permission or invitation the only way to get out was to be dead or became a slave. Even the World Government and Marines werent get close to that island as we all had orders not to get close'' Smoker said while Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp were listening in shock but except Zoro they suddenly remembered Crocus's words about the invitation and his words about how Luna bowed her head considering who she was 'So he knew?' was their thoughts as Smoker keep going

''Grant Kingdom was an underworld kingdom and there was not a single one normal citizen in their country, everyone of them were criminals like assassins, hitmans, mercenaries, murderers.. It was one of these reasons Grant Kingdom was one of the strongest kingdoms out there and being a criminal country, that they would do anything related to underworld openly. They didnt had any remorse to hide their actions'' Smoker said the general knowledge that usually everyone knows but he didnt know about the inside of that country either and even thought their actions were open he didnt knew everthing they had done since they might not hide their own actions but they didnt give any opening with the business they had done with others in the underworld

''Right, there was slaves in the cages on the streets and openly build factories that makes drugs and chemical weapons'' Crocodile said as his eyes were looking to the past ''There was also a lot of casinos and dirty bars with every criminal activity were free to do'' He then turned to Luna ''I remember seeing you there three years ago'' He said with a smirk as Luna also look at him with a raised eyebrowns ''A fifteen years old, newly announced princess was walking while covered in blood, who knows where she was coming and what she had done. It was an unforgettable sign to see a young girl in that kind of aura'' he said as he took a sip from his drink with a smirk on his face while Luna was looking at him with an emotionless face as she keep eating her food

Others were looking stunned at a lot of things but Nami asked totally different thing ''Newly announced?'' she asked as she thought why would she announced at the age of fifteen.

''Right,'' Smoker said as he put a second cigar in his mouth ''Until she was fifteen, no one in the world knew about a girl named Grant D. Luna. She was announced as a princess and the heir after four months later her brother, Grant D. Leo's, death'' he said with a monotone, causing their eyes to move to her right forearm tattoo but they were still didnt understand the reason and why Luna wasnt known too but they didnt asked since they suddenly become tense with the mention of Luna's brother. Even Crocodile was looking blank for a moment before he speak again as he put his smirk back

''Well even thought she wasnt known as Grant D. Luna she was known as De Luna though'' Crocodile said with an other smirk of his, clearly changing the subject, causing Luna to think if she should shut the Captain Hook up. She knew he was talking this much because he was sure that they will be die but he couldnt say anything about what she had done as De Luna since it was the underworld rule and she didnt care the rest anyway. She glance at Smoker for a moment before she let a sigh. Well, his superiors were already knew almost everything and as long as Crocodile shut up about her actions as De Luna it was fine anyway and they will be learning about her becoming a pirate soon too. So she just shrug mentally as she keep eating.

''De Luna?'' Smoker asked with a frown while the others thought about the name on her rifle

''It was her name in the underworld. You marines probably doesnt know about this'' He said with a face that says he is clearly enjoying this

''You write your name in the underworld on your rifle?'' Zoro asked as he sweatdrop at this a little while Luna just shrug as she sheepishly look at him, causing him to think 'weirdo' again, no matter what she was

''Ah!'' Luffy said as he remembered the Shells Town ''That was the name the marines in the Shells Town knew you'' causing everyone to blink

''Yeah since I couldnt use my real name I used my underworld name'' Luna said nonchalantly, causing everyone to sweatdrop for a moment at how laid back she was as they also forget about the serious talk before until Crocodile talk again

''The thing I dont understand however'' He start slowly as he look at Luna, who takes a gulp from her drink ''How in the hell did you even kill Luca, and made a bomb to destroy the whole island? They are saying it was you but they dont say how, so how did you do it princess'' causing Luna to sigh shortly. She thought that what a loose mouth those slaves they saved and cursed the information network of the underworld

''Luca?'' Usopp asked as he was still living a deep shock

''Grant D. Luca, he was the king'' Smoker said shortly as he was irritated that they were so clueless

''Oh, Luna's father'' Nami said lowly, though she wondered if she should call him as her father since if Luna killed him and the things they said about her country.. She remembered Luna saying to her looking at the mirror or talk about freedom too and even if she didnt know anything she had a slight idea about what Luna was talking about... Her thoughts were cut off with Luna's voice though

''Well this isnt your business now, right?'' Luna said as she put the glass on the table ''And stop calling me a princess or the queen! Do you have any idea how hard was for me to destroy my kingdom? Calling me like that is insulting me!'' She declared as she point a finger at him, looking so serious but slightly pounting too. She was thinking how irritating to be called like that after all this time later. ''Anyway,'' She said calmly as she put down her finger ''If your history lesson is done, are you gonna tell me why am I sitting here and eating food?'' she asked, causing them to look at her weirdly as they thought 'He didnt force you to eat'

''I was going to ask you if you would join me'' Crocodile said casually with his deep and relaxed voice, causing Luna to burst into laughing

''That was all?!'' she asked as she laugh ''No way! I already have a captain!'' she add while her laughing calmed down a little

''Thats right, Luna is in my crew!'' Luffy said with a frowned face as he hold the bars of the cage but his power got drained and Usopp yelled at him again as to not to touch them

Crocodile however chuckled deeply at this ''You think you can handel her being in your crew?'' Causing them to pause while Luna also glaring daggers at Crocodile

''What do you mean?'' Zoro asked again as Smoker frowned at this with understanding

''You are already going to die but lets say that you lived and gone from here, what do you think is going to happen once they learn that Grant D. Luna is alive and become a pirate in a rookie crew?'' Crocodile asked with an evil smirk while others were frowning with serious faces

''What are you talking about? Even though Luna was a princess or a queen of a country like that, why would anyone cared it?'' Nami asked, not carrying about Luna's past since she was just a crazy weirdo in her eyes until now and that was still didnt change

Crocodile chuckled at this as he get up and start to walk towards Luna, who had an emotionless face ''It's because of the real reason why Grant Kingdom was existed even though every thing they had done'' He said as he slowly walk ''They destroyed countries, kill a lot of people without a care that they were criminals or marines or anyone else but the World Goverment and Marines never gone to attack to destroy them with everything they had. They never even send an admiral'' causing them to frown as they were listening

''Are you talking about that old rumor?'' Smoker asked seriously

''Old rumor?'' Usopp asked with a frown too as the air became very serious and tense suddenly again

''Eye of the Demon, that was how people were calling the Grant Kingdom since its symbol was an eye and they would see them as demons. 'Demon Eye's Child' or 'Princess of the Demon's Eye' they would called her'' Crocodile said as he stand behind Luna as he was smiling darkly, clearly enjoying ''But that symbol was used to be called 'The Eye That Knows Everything' '' he said with his smirk as he was smoking a thick cigar now

''The Eye That Knows Everything?'' Nami asked with a confuse while others also looking like confused too

''It's just an old rumor'' Smoker said with his still serious and frowned face

''Its not just a rumor.'' Crocodile said with his still there smirk but there was excite in his eyes ''Its true that Grant family had the knowledge that can destroy the world'' causing them to look stunned

''The knowledge..'' Nami said lowly and slowly

''Can destroy the world?'' Usopp add after her with a stunned expression while Zoro and Luffy looking blank faces as Luffy was also thinking if this was the reason Ace talked about before

''Thats why once they learned Grant D. Luna, the last one who's still alive, is still out there everyone will come for her or after her'' Crocodile said smugly, causing them to frown with understanding at what he was implying and hearing this from that man only made them more angry ''This magnificent brain in her beautiful head is one of the treasure that everyone wants for themselves or destroy in the end'' He said as his hand gone to Luna's cheeks but she dodged before he could touch her with her still emotionless face

''Being one of the Seven Warlords and also operating in the underworld has it perks in the end, huh?'' Luna said slowly

''Wait, you're saying its true?!'' Smoker aked with a shocked face. He knew this rumor but it was a very, a very old one

''Does it matter?'' Luna asked with a tilted head ''Even if we had that kind of knowledge, it would mean that we had it for close to a century now and the world is still here. Clearly it would mean, we had no intention to destroy the world'' She said tiredly ''I mean, even my insane father didnt go that far and I found this world too magnificent for to destroy so, why bother me with this now?'' She asked as she look at Crocodile with the last part.

She knew this would be a problem in the future as Crocodile wasnt the only one to know that the rumor was true and she shortly blamed her father for that. She mentally sigh, this was what made her uneasy the most. She knew they wouldnt care about her past or anything but the world would. She was decided the moment she join them, she would be stronger to take care of herself. She didnt want to bring them more trouble they already will have. She could only hope that no one wouldnt come more then they could handel before its time

Before anyone could say anything they heard an angry voice

''Crocodile!'' Vivi shouted from the top of the staircase

''Vivi?!'' Nami and Usopp yelled out in surprised as the tense air gone

''Well, my humle greetings Vivi, royal princess of Alabasta. I mean Miss Wednesday'' Crocodile said with a mock clear voice as he walked over and sat back down on his chair against Luna's that he was sitting before. ''I compliment you on having evaded out assassins to get this far'' he added smugly as Luna also keep on her eating with a sigh

''You have no idea how far I'm willing to see you dead, Mr 0'' Vivi said

''Its your worthless country that's going to die, Miss Wednesday'' Crocodile said with a smirk, causing Vivi to yell as she run over

''If you werent here, Alabasta would be in peace!'' she leaped forward to attack Crocodile with her peacock slasher ''I wish you died in your cradle, you monster!'' she yelled as Luna sigh at Vivi's meaningless attempt while Luffy, Nami and Usopp yelled at her to let them out instead and she couldnt take him down on her own but Vivi ignored them as she pulled out her weapon

''Peacock String Slasher!'' Vivi yelled as she thrust her peacock slasher forward, slicing through Crocodile's head.

''Its not gonna work'' Luna and Smoker said simultaneously with a monotone voice and glance eachother after that with a rather irritated faces before Crocodile's body turned to sand, spinning around like a small tornado and his body, still missing head, appeared behind Vivi as he grab her

''Feeling better?'' he asked discourteously ''As a native of this country you should surely know that I have the power of the Sand Sand fruit''

''Sand Sand..?'' Usopp asked slowly as he saw Crocodile, causing Zoro to nod

''Luna was said about this when we were at Whiskey Peak while you and that stupid cook were snoring'' while Crocodile's head suddenly reappered ''Shall I turn you into a mummy?'' he said darkly as Luffy start to yell furiously at him to leave her alone and if he hurt her, he'd have to deal with him.

Crocodile ignored him though as he force Vivi to sit on the chair in the middle of his and Luna's ''Have a seat, Princess. The party is just about the begin, isnt that right, Miss All Sunday?'' He asked as he look at he woman with the cowboy hat on

''Yes'' She replied as she pulled out a pocket watch ''Its exactly noon right now. Time for operation Utopia'' she said getting Luffy, Luna and Smoker's attention

''Utopia?'' Usopp asked, causing Crocodile to laugh

''It will mean the demise of the kingdom of Alabasta, Miss Wednesday'' he said as he look at Vivi ''I'm going to wipe it off the face of the map as if it never was'' causing Vivi to gasp in shock as Crocodile laugh darkly at his plans. Vivi strugle against the ropes that now bound her to the chair, demanding to know what he was planning on doing to Alabasta. She yelled at him that if he plans on killing her father, he'd be dead before he could ever get close to him.

Crocodile didnt seem bother from her words ''Princess, would you like to know what kind of people I despise above all others?'' as he asked with a smirk ''Those hypocrites preach endlessly talk about the happiness of the people'' he said, causing Vivi to yell at him again that he cant kill her father, causing Crocodile to smirk again as he said that he didnt think that her father was even worth to kill and instead, he was going to let him face something much crueler than that, causing Vivi to demand to know what he was talking about

''Whats worse than death?'' Usopp also asked as he look at Crocodile like he was some kind of monster

''Have him live and watch all of his people die'' Luna said as she take a bite from her last meat ''As a king, that's a faith worse than death'' she added than as she look at Crocodile while getting their attention and look at her weirdly as she was still eating food in this situation though Luffy's stomach growl at this for a moment

''Now that I look at you two, its pretty funny'' Crocodile said as he start to laugh ''Two different princess are sitting on the same table. One is already destroyed her own county with her people in it while the other's desparetely trying to save hers'' he said as he kept laughing

''It not 'that' funny'' Luna said as she took a sip from her drink with a relax attitue while Vivi was gasping in shock

''Luna-san is a princess?!'' but she gasp in shock again as she look at Luna ''You destroyed your own country?!'' causing Luna to sigh while Vivi keep going her shock ''How could you destroy your own country and your people?!'' while Luna calmly take another bite from her meat, others were looking troubled as it was too long to explain to Vivi and they were also didnt know or understand and were still in shock for a lot of things anyway

''Well, if my country would be like yours, I wouldnt'' she said calmly not budged from her yellings

''Maybe you could teach her a couple of things'' Crocodile said as he laugh

''Hmm, I dont think I could. Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values in the end'' She said calmly

''Isnt that the truth now'' Crocodile said as he look at Luna while Smoker was also mentally agreeing on the background but he would never admitted

''But you're also not so much of a complicated man as you think either Crocodile'' she said with a smirk as she take sip from her drink ''Sorry to say this Vivi but I'm pretty sure that Crocodile can get close to your father very easily actually'' causing Vivi to look at her with anger ''I would even say that he already has the king'' as she take an another sip from her drink while others were looking at Crocodile to see if Luna was right and seeing his smug face, they knew she was right. Vivi was goten pale at this while others eyes got widen ''And there is also Mr 2, who has the kings face.. Since you already have the king you will probably have him impersonate the king'' She keep calmly as Crocodile smirk at her smugly

''I wonder what Mr 2 will do as a king but it doesnt really matter at this point though. Even if he would kill his own men or name you as a king... Whatever he does, will bring out the same reaction from the people'' Luna said slowly with a thoughtful face, honestly she didnt remember much about here except the general things but it wasnt so hard to guess

''What do you mean?'' Nami asked while looking at Luna, which she sigh a little how Crocodile was repaeting the history

''Whatever that okama do as the king, the whole country will know about it. It will cause rebels from all over the country to mobilize and the citizens who had faith in the king once will also join them. The entire country will rebel against the king soon and this will lead them to one place, which is Alubarna'' Luna explained with her calm tone again while Vivi start to yell again at Crocodile as to learn if it was his plan, make the people of their country overthrow her father

''Of course its not'' Luna let a sigh ''Werent you listening at all?'' as she asked to Vivi ''He just said he will wipe Alabasta off the face of the map. He doesnt care about overthrowing the king.'' she then look at Crocodile, who listens with an amused smirk ''He has something planned for everyone once they reach Alubarna while he would be doing his real intention to come this country from the beginning, isnt that right, captain hook?''

''Looks like she got you'' Miss All Sunday said with a little chuckle at this while Crocodile also made a smirk

''As expecting from you, very smart and experienced woman indeed'' He said with a smirk ''Should I also say some little secret then?'' he said smugly, causing Luna to look at him with a blank face while everyone looking with frowned face ''You didnt tell them why did I came to Alabasta in the first place or the truth about the dance powder, didnt you?''

''What are you talking about?'' Vivi asked as she look between Luna and Crocodile. Others were also looking at Luna but unlike before, this time Zoro, Nami and Usopp were also saw the glint of regret in her eyes momently before it disappeared

''Three years ago, I had a visit to her country for to ask something to the king Luca, her father. Of course, he didnt say anything or give me what I want but he gave me a clue. He said that I can found what I'm looking for if I came to Alabasta and he was the one who sold the dance powder too'' he said before he start to laugh darkly as Vivi face was in complete shock

Luna thought about three years ago for a moment at this. It was the time as she begin to known as Grant D. Luna. She was still mourning for her brother and was come back from her fist mission as a princess. She was briefly saw Crocodile with her father and even gave him the Captain Hook nickname that time, she remembered how much her father found amusing that nickname. She didnt know but since she saw Vivi she had the thoughts of that if she could stopped him at that time but she wasnt care anything back then.

Luffy was also looking at Luna while thinking about last night as Luna's voice came to his ears 'Do you hate Crocodile for what he had done to this country?' his fist tighten at this for a moment as he thought that he knew he missed something there. Now, it sounded like not Crocodile but does he hate her for what happened to this country

''Isnt it funny now?'' Crocodile asked with a laugh, causing Luffy to yell at him with sudden anger

''Shut up! Its wasnt Luna and you cant blame her for what her father had done!'' Luffy said with frowned face

''Thats right and its not like her father had done anything to this country either! Its you who had done all of this!'' Nami also yelled at him while Vivi was also now looking at Crocodile with anger as she agreed and remined herself that it was true that it was him done all of this to her country not Luna who was trying to help all the while

''I'm pretty sure that my father was guilty though'' Luna said lowly to herself as she sweatdrop at Nami's words. It was weird to hear that her father was inocent for the first time, especially she knew he wasnt. She knew her father told that the Poneglyph which tells the location of Pluton was in Alabasta, knowing that Crocodile couldnt have it what it was saying. He was probably mocking with him while he also enjoyed to watch whats happening here since he loved the chaos

''Well, its enough fooling around'' Crocodile said, not care about what they said ''Are you joining to me or not, princess?'' he asked with a smirk causing Luna's eyesbrowns twich with irritation

''No, I'm not interested in destruction of Alabasta or the thing you're looking for and I told you that I already have a captain'' She said rather calmly

''I see'' he said as he smirk evily ''Then you should just die with the rest here'' causing Luna to think how overconfident he become as she sigh a little

''You're not going to take her?'' Miss All Sunday asked with a neutral face but there was a little surprise in her eyes. No matter what, she was still thinking that he would take her with him in the end

''No way'' he chuckled a bit ''Forcing her wouldnt gain anything to me and its too much of a trouble to have her anyway'' he said as he took a chain from somewhere while Luna's eyes narrowed with irritation to what he said while murmuring ''rude'' to herself

For Crocodile, even though he didnt know much about Luna, he knew he couldnt force her to talk is she doesnt want to and having someone like that around was useless for him

''Oh, '' Luna said with an understanding face ''I dont like to be chained'' with a little pout as she saw the chains in his hands

''Its not like you had a choice'' Crocodile said with his not gone smirk, causing Luna to smirk too

''Still, I dont want to be chained by a man who doesnt even know how to talk with a girl'' She then look at Robin ''I will chained if only that miss over there do it kindly'' she said as she smiled inocently at Crocodile but he could see the glint in her eyes, like she was waiting for him to come close to her

''Miss All Sunday'' Crocodile said as he hold up the chains in his hands to her ''Lets grand Grant D. Luna's last wish'' causing Robin to chuckle while others were looking in confuse at to why Luna's letting herself chained but they also look at Miss All Sunday shortly

''Sure'' she said as she walk towards to Luna with chains in her hands while Crocodile also turned to Vivi

''Its time for us to head to Alubarna ourselves, Miss Wednesday'' he said before he pull out a small golden key

''A key?! For this cage?!'' Luffy yelled in surprise ''Hey, Give me that!'' while Crocodile merely smile as he let the key drop as Vivi struggle with the ropes. She was able to rip them apart in the end but it was too late. As Crocodile open up a trap door, the key fell down a long shaft

''It wont be too long before the rebels and the royal forces begin their battle to the death'' Crocodile said ''Even if you hurry to Alubarna from here, who knows if you'd make it in time. To stop the rebellion you'd need to leave at once, Miss Wednesday. Will you do that? Or will you try to save your friends instead? Its your choice but if you choose the latter, it doesnt help that I accidently dropped the key into the Bananagator's den''

''Bananagator?'' Luffy asked with a confuse as Vivi gasp in shock while looking down the hole at the sight of the alligators

''Whoa! Look at that!'' Luffy said as he point to the window ''There is a alligator growing out of that banana!''

''Th-those alligators are enormous!'' Usopp yeled out

''Wha..?! This room is underwater?!'' Nami asked in surprised and panic

''Weird bananas'' Luffy said lowly as he look at the alligators

''Look at them, you dumbass. The bananas are growing out of the alligators.'' Zoro explained in a calm manner before he folded his arms ''They are weird alligators'' he said knowingly as Vivi suddenly let out a horror filled gasp while looking wide eye down the hole

''Whats wrong?'' Usopp asked in panic

''One of the bananagators just swallowed the key!'' she answered in panic too

''Chase it down, make it spit the key back up and get us outta here!'' Luffy yelled as it was the most obvious thing she should do

''I cant do that! Bananagators are ferocious! They eat sea kings, you know?! It'll eat me up the second I get close to it!'' she yelled back, causing Crocodile to put on a fake pained expression

''Oh, I'm very sorry'' not sounding sorry in the least ''You might've had the key if I hadnt accidently dropped it and now there is no telling which one of them swallowed it''

''That jerk!'' Nami said as she hold up her punches with anger

''Damn, even if get out of this cage, we still have to deal with those reptiles'' Zoro said annoyingly as he look at the bananagators

''We cant get out cause it ate the key, Zoro'' Luffy said like he's an idiot, causing Zoro to yell at him with shark teeths

''I know that!''

They saw that Crocodile start to leave through a hallway that made of glass as Miss All Sunday also join back to him and they all got to see full look and saw dozen of more alligators there. Explaining more, Crocodile decided to flood the room they were in as he also told Vivi to chose that either go to Alubarna on time or saving them before the room completely fill with water in one hour. As Crocodile was explaining this with his smug attitude, he also start to laugh at the rebels and old man Toto that still digging away his life in Yuba while he also said that he was the one causing the sandstorms as well as the drought to drive the people there insane

Luna once more left to the thoughts with this as she was examining the chains on her. They were somehow always the same, those overconfident bad guy's would always tell their plans and what they had done. She never understand this

Vivi's face was livid at this ''I will kill you!'' as she yelled while Luffy was also seriously looking at Crocodile, clearly angry

Crocodile laugh at this before turning back and start to head through the door as he water began pouring into the room, causing Usopp to freak out as he start to yell out at Vivi to help them and he doesnt want this to be the last hour of his life. Zoro told him to calm down but Usopp was freaking out too much to calm down

Watching Vivi, who seemed to have lost all will to fight while crying and unsure what to do ''Why the hell are you giving up?'' Luna asked with a frowned face as she look at Vivi from where she sits, while she also getting others attention ''Its not that everything is over. If you cant do it alone, asking for help is not something to be ashamed of or wrong, you know?''

Crocodile smirk at this while Vivi was looking at Luna as her tears stopped ''So did you decided to take my advice?'' Crocodile asked, implying the earlier as to teach Vivi somethings ''A lesson from a Queen to a Princess?'' he said as he start to laugh maniacally, causing Luna to glare at him deadly while Luffy also yelled at Vivi

''Thats right! Dont give up! get us outta here!''

''Luffy-san'' Vivi said lowly while thinking how

''Are you begging for your life already, Strawhat Luffy?'' Crocodile asked as he laugh loudly ''I guess everyone is afraid of dying'' Luffy however didnt take his eyes from Vivi, completely ignoring Crocodile

''If we die here, who's going to stop him!?'' he yelled again, causing Crocodile to look down at him with an evil smirk

''Dont get too conceited little man'' he said making Luna to think that its himself who getting too conceited

''No, thats you.. You're the little one!'' Luffy said as he look at Crocodile with an anger

Crocodile didnt seemed to concerened as he snaped his fingers and causing another trap door to open up as one of the bananagators rear its head. Hen turned back to Vivi ''The choice is yours, princess. Which one's matter the most to you? The pirates who went out their way to bring you home safe and sound or your father and all of the inocent citizen of Alabasta?'' while Vivi was looking at the bananagator in fear, clutching her weapon tighty as it growled at her hungrily

''Beat it up, Vivi!'' Luffy yelled out

''Dont be ridiculous, its too big!'' Usopp also yelled at Luffy before turned to Vivi ''Run away Vivi, you cant fight it! B-but save us to!'' causing Luffy to yell at him this time saying that he is the one being ridiculous while Nami was also showing the windows that all the bananagators lined up. Vivi on the other hand was trying to fight with it but it was too strong for her as its single bite destroyed the stairs

''Wait!'' Usopp said ''Luna is out there! If Vivi save her from chains..'' Usopp suddenly said

''Thats right! Luna can beat that banana!'' Luffy also yelled

''Vivi, help Luna and run away from that alligator!'' Nami yelled at Vivi, who's preparing to go towards Luna but Crocodile start to laugh as he take everyone's attention while Luna was frowning

''Even if you managed to free her, she couldnt do anything in that state of hers'' Crocodile said as he laugh

''Shut up'' Luna said as she glare at him angrily, causing them to look at her with confuse

''What state? She can beat them if she got free from that chains'' Zoro said trusting her power even without her weapons but Crocodile was still laughing

''Did you really think that I would just chained her and let her drown?'' He laugh darkly ''She eat and drink all the poison I gave to her! Since she's a Grant D. she probably had some immunity to the poison but even if its slow it will kill her anyway!'' as he laugh he also break the glass Luna was drinking her drink with his powers while talking and like proving what he said the drink spilled from the glass melted the table and the floor just a little. It was clear that it was highly poisoned, causing others eyes to widen and made Crocodile laugh more

''You monster!'' Nami yelled with an anger but Crocodile made fake face that like he's offended

''Its not I forced her to eat it, she already knew it was poisoned and she also knew if she would accept to join me I would give her the antidote'' he said as he also smirk at the end, clearly mockig with them. He was conveyed the message with Miss All Sunday earlier and she was supposed to know before come to that room

''You knew?! Why did you eat it if you knew?'' Luffy asked to Luna after he glare angrily at Crocodile but Luna avert her gaze at this, not saying anything

Smoker however frown at this ''Its because if she didnt eat it, one of you would be probably be killed instantly'' he said calmly as he put another cigar in his mouth

''What!?'' Usopp asked with a shock and fear

Smoker closed his eyes for a moment as he remembered the first time that girl came to the room ''We are all in a cage here and you four were probably the hostages'' he said as he look at Luna, trying to understand why she was going this far for them while Crocodile was still laughing at his game

Luna was also thought about the first time she came. Ro was already warned her and convey the message so she knew about the poison and the reason Crocodile activated his powers was not for to threat her but to threat the ones in the cage. But she also knew that no matter what Crocodile said even if he would let them go after she accept to join him, Luffy would still go after him since he promised to Vivi and already start to see him as his enemy. So she knew it was meaningless everything Crocodile said and just eat the poison like its nothing but she was also irritated at how much he got overconfident that he was acting like this even though he wasnt know anything about what his enemy capable of

Zoro, Nami and Usopp were looking at Luna as they were also frowning ''That idiot!'' they said simultaneously, frustrating that they were the cause of it and they couldnt do anything in a cage like that while Luffy was also looking at her with a frowning face but there was also worry too. Even though Luna was looking fine was she really fine with all that poison inside of her

''Luna-san'' Vivi said lowly as she also look at her with shock and worry. Just at that moment they heard a transponder snail in Miss All Sunday's hand start to ring and familiar voice came from it

''Hello? Can you hear me?'' he asked

''Yes, we can hear you. You're a million, right?'' Miss All Sunday asked as Sanji talked about he never used a baby phone snails

''Hey, spit it out already! What happened?'' Crocodile asked he was getting impatient

''Oh, that voice.. I've heard that voice before'' Sanji said as he was puzziling Crocodile ''Welcome, sir. This is the shitty reastaurant''

''Shitty Restaurant..?!'' as he remembered ''Who the hell are you?'' he asked in displeasure as he glare at the snail

''You can call me... Mr Prince'' as the snail's face showed a lazy smile.

Luffy was about to call out to Sanji but Usopp covered his mouth ''Wait Luffy! Maybe he doesnt know about him since Sanji was inside the kitchen when Mr 2 showed up! So, shut up!''

That was then they realized Sanji and Chopper were both still outside and Sanji could help Vivi while Chopper could help Luna. Sanji on the other hand, began to talk with Crocodile as Mr. Prince, he was sounding like he was mocking with him but not much later they heard gunfire sounds and yells and another voice take over the snail as the voice said that they dealt with him as others looked in horror at this. The voice, who's a member of millions told Crocodile to meet them in the front of the casino

''That useless idiot! He better still be alive!'' Zoro yelled as Luffy and Usopp were freaking out behind him while Nami was murmuring that their last hope as tears came to her eyes

Crocodile laugh ''Fine.. Lets go to the front gate!''

''Are you sure? The millions still dont know who their boss is'' Robin asked as she remined him but Crocodile dismissed it, also reminding her that he owned the casino under his Warlord title so they wouldnt be wondering why he would be going to check the trouble on his front door.

Vivi on the other hand, was trying to climb up the destroyed stairs but the bananagator realized that its dinner was getting away so it turned back to her, getting others attention, Luffy yelled at her as to learn what she was doing and she said that she was going to help Mr Prince and bring him there

''Thats right.. Maybe that didnt really kill Sanji! If Vivi go and bring him here somehow..'' Usopp said lowly

''And Chopper's still outside too, he might be able to do something!'' Nami also add after him as Vivi got up the stairs but Crocodile used his powers and his hook to pull her back down. She was smacked against the floor, knocking her out. Water was also spreading as Crocodile and Robin made it out the upper stairs and were looking down before he claimed that if she cared so much about her friends, she could die there with them and he add that he would be back with Mr Prince after he killed him before he leave.

''Come on Vivi!'' Usopp yelled as Vivi slowly tried to get back up once Crocodile and Robin left. She was struggling for breath as blood dripping down from her face, just then, they heard the chains drop on the floor as Luna get up and was walking towards Vivi

''How in the hell did she break free?'' Smoker asked with a frown while Nami and Usopp were yelling at her not to move with poison in her body

''I'm fine, this much of poison wont affect me this early or wont kill me'' Luna said with a sigh, she didnt know if she should thank her father and all the people in the past who tried to poison her but she thanked to her best friend with all of her heart ''And there is no way that miss would really chained me and let me die here'' she said as she still walking and glance at Smoker with a little smile while others also understand that why Luna let Miss All Sunday to chained her

''There you go!'' Luna said as she hold up Vivi, who's struggling on the floor, from her waist and she spinned around her once before she throw Vivi on top of the stairs all the while Vivi was screaming

''Dont throw her like that!'' Nami and Usopp gasp in shock before they yelled at Luna as the alligator gone after its target again but the force alligator put on the stairs hit the wall and cracked the windows as more water start to pour through the cracks

''What a stupid alligator'' Luna said as she look at the bananagator ''Now we probably only have twenty minutes or so'' and with one spinning kick, the alligator flew away and went unconscious as Luna look up to the stairs ''You're okay there?'' she asked, causing Luffy and Zoro to also look up to Vivi while Nami and Usopp were looking at alligator with blank faces and big widen eyes

'''Y-yeah, I'm fine'' Vivi said as she also look at the unconscious alligator ''I couldnt do anything to that...'' she looked so down while she was saying that

''No Vivi, its not you!'' Usopp said as he tried to confort her with a sweatdrop

''Yeah, its just she's one of the freakishly strong ones'' Nami also add after him with a sweatdrop too, they knew Luna could handel it but not with just one kick and poisoned state on top of that

Luna on the other hand was talking to herself ''Its been too long that I didnt use any weapon.. I feel naked'' She said as she especially look at her now empty right hand before she turned to Vivi ''Go bring Sanji for help, he probably doesnt know where exactly we're''

''Right..'' Vivi said as she get back her feet up ''I'm going to get help so you all hold on! I promise I'll be right back with help, okay?!''

''Okay! You can do it Vivi!'' Luffy and Usopp yelled back at her as she ran off while Luna was looking at other alligators. They were still trying to make their way so she decided to wait there for them to come as she stand there before suddenly another part of the windows cracked and more water came out of it, causing Usopp and Luffy to freak out.

''Hey'' Smoker call out calmly as he was sitting on the bench with crossed legged, causing Luffy and Usopp to yell at him as to how can be so calm

''How much do you know about what's really going on here and what is Crocodile really after?'' Smoker asked as he look at Luna, who's standing just outside of the cage ''If Crocodile gone as far as to go to the West to ask king Luca about something... And there is that woman with Crocodile too.. You sure know her, right?'' causing everyone to look at her with curiosity

Luna look them before she let a sigh ''Well, Crocodile was really an idiot as he came to my father to ask for what he was looking for..'' She start slowly ''He might give him a clue but he knew that Crocodile cant have what he was wanting no matter what so he was probably mocking with him since he loved that kind of things..'' She said with a thoughtful face

''What he was looking for though?'' Zoro asked making Luna to smile at him but before she could say anything

''Its not that hard to guess what he's looking for seeing him with that woman'' Smoker said as he let out smoke from his two cigars

''What about her?'' Nami asked, she could be their enemy and all but she still helped Luna afterall and helping Luna was surely a betray to Crocodile

Seeing that Luna was just looking at him, Smoker answered ''She is an outlaw whose been on the run from the World Goverment for twenty years. The price on her head is seventy nine million belly. With the two of them joining forces, this is no longer just the takeover of a nation anymore. If we dont do something now, this will develop into a disaster that will envelop the entire world'' He then glance at Luna ''And you two dangerous woman are on the same island like this..'' he said with narrowed eyes and a very serious face

''Dangerous?'' Luna asked as she also glare at Smoker ''Just because she knows the ancient langueage doesnt mean she is dangerous''

Smoker, who's also glaring at Luna ''She's also a criminal who's killed people, just like you'' causing Luna's eyebrowns to twich

''Of course she did!'' as she snap at him, not caring herself being called dangerous or anything ''She was eight years old when they put a bounty on her head. When all the marines and bounty hunters come after a scared little child like that she had no choice to kill to survive'' she said while others were looking between them. They already knew that Miss All Sunday was a wanted woman and hiding herself and Luna brought her to the Grand Line to help her after she saved her but that was all they knew, they didnt knew why she was a wanted person and Luna was said that it was because of something she didnt do it

''She sank six battleships in that age and you're calling her a scared child?'' Smoker asked with a frowned face while Usopp yelled in surprise

''She do that in eight?!'' as others were also looking surprised

''Dont be an idiot'' Luna said to Usopp calmly before turn back to Smoker ''Didnt anyone told you to not believe what World Government says? They would do or say anything to look perfect'' Luna said with an emotionless face ''How can you believe that a normal eight years old girl can even sank six battleship with non destructive devil fruit powers anyway?'' Luna then look at the alligators that start to come towards them and turned to there ''If you would stop seeing all pirates as criminals and look at the world carefully with your own eyes, maybe you could see what really is wrong with this world, Smokey'' she said as she start to walk towards alligators, leaving a frowning Smoker behind, who's clinking his tongue with irritation but he was still thinking what she said as he couldnt deny these facts

Others were also watching them with blank faces until that moment but with Usopp noticing the water was now coming to their hips, Luffy also get out off his blank state and start to freak out along with Usopp.

Luna meanwhile was kicking and punching the first alligator while naming her attacks as 'Luna's Super Kick' or 'One Punch Luna' and causing Zoro to sweatdrop on the background. But the more she moved she could feel the poison was spreading in her body and her ears were slowly start to ringing and start to sweat a little. Nami, who's the second to Luna with a little bit of knowledge about medical, noticed this as she yelled at her

''Stop moving, Luna! You're making the poison to affect you faster!'' and this was also the reason why Luna was waiting for Sanji and Chopper to came anyway

''Well, Its not like I can be a food for them too!'' Luna yelled back as she kick the second alligator before she look at Nami. Others also made a remembering face at this before a worried one to come. Luna was looking fine all the while and fighting with the alligators that they were even forget that she was poisoned. Just then, the same voice from the transporter snail spoke up ''Trying to eat our goddess is very impolite. I'll teach you to behave''

''Anti-Manner Kick Course!'' And then the third alligator that was coming towards Luna was flying with the impact of the kick

''That thing has manners of a reptile'' Sanji said as he let a puff from his cigarette ''Hey guys, been waiting long?'' he said as he look up at them

''Prince!'' Luffy cheered with Usopp as Nami gasp in relief while Zoro was snapping at him, yelling that stop screwing and find the key but Sanji swoon with hearts in his eyes ''Luna-san, Nami-san! Do you love me now?! I'm here to save you!''

''You did good with Crocodile, Sanji'' Luna said with a smile

''Really?!'' he gasped with a big smile on his face while Luna was nodding

''Yes, yes. Now open the door!'' Nami also said while Luffy and Vivi were thumbs up each other.

Sanji raised his foot, ready to kick any moment ''I have to knock all the table manners I know into assholes that would harm a lady!''

''The third one that just entered the room'' Smoker said calmly ''Thats the one with the key''

''What?'' Luffy asked as he turned back to him ''How can you tell, Smokey?'' causing Smoker to grint his teeth for a moment

''Are those ears of yours just for decoration?'' he asked with irritate

''Shut it, Smokey'' Luna said as she come in front of the cage again, causing Smoker to a vein to popped out on his forehead ''Listen closely, Luffy. Thats the same as the one that ate the key''

Luffy blinked as the gators growled ''Ah! Its more deeper then the rest!'' he said with a smile as she smile back while Sanji was going straight to that alligator and the moment he kicked it, something big, round and white came spitting out of it's mouth

''What is that thing?!'' Usopp yelled/asked while others were also looking at the thing looking like an egg that came bursting out and hit the floor, splashing water to everywhere and before they even understand what that was, it suddenly cracked open and Mr 3, who's looking like a mummy as he was dried up, came out.

''Fredom! Yes!'' He then noticed the water as he look down ''W-water! Water! It's a miracle!'' he gasp out. While others were gaping at him, he was desperately shoving water in his mouth

''Its three!'' Luffy yelled out as he poit at him

''Mr 3... Why were you inside the alligator's stomach!?'' Vivi asked in shock but Mr 3 didnt even noticed them as he was recovering and talking to himself that after Crocodile fed him the alligator, he used his power to create the wax ball and survive. That was when he noticed something attached to the wax ball and picked up the key, causing Luffy, Nami and Usopp start to yell at him while he also freak out the moment he saw them.

His freaked out state changed to a calm one as he understand whats going on though ''I see whats happening here'' he said with an evil smirk on his face

''So you're Mr 3... Hand over the key'' Sanji step up to him

''Sure, here you go!'' as he throw away the key as far as he could and it landed in the water, right in the middle of all the alligators

''I dont know who you are'' Mr 3 said, turning back to Sanji, looking like an insane person ''But you look like their friend! Find the key if tou want it! However.. I'm not responsible for whether you can find it or not!'' while others were gasping at him and Sanji was look ready to take him down

''Sanji'' Luna called out causing Sanji immediately turned to her ''He has wax powers, he can make a duplicate key for the cage'' she said calmly before she smile inocently while Mr 3 was freaking out again as he saw her. Sanji understanding what Luna is saying smirked and turned to Mr 3 and before he could even think of run away, Sanji beat him enough to made Mr 3 to turn his finger into a wax key and opened the door.

''Hmm.. Not bad candle man'' Sanji said as he pin a note to Mr 3's chest that saying 'Mr Prince was here' he send him fly with a powerful kick that made Mr 3 knocked out

Everyone get out from the cage the moment Sanji opened it and was saying that they should hurry up because he didnt know how much more time they had before Crocodile came back. Nami also agreed with him and said that they should be able go get out through the hall that Croodile was about to take before as she came besides Luna to check on her. Vivi cried out that the hall was filled with Bananagators while Luna was saying she will be fine with the antidote to Nami. Vivi by the way, was start to looking at Luffy and Zoro while looking so down again and Usopp was trying to comfort her again since they were had just taken care of all alligators

Just then, all the walls cracked and break apart, causing the water came rushing towards them as Luna go and took a hold of Smoker's wrist since she was the closest one to him. Just before Luffy dissapeared in the water, he yelled at Zoro to help Luna to save Smoker and just before the water also reached at them Smoker look at Luna with widen eyes while tring to save his arm from Luna's hold ''The hell are you-'' before he could finish, the water crash into them and Luna start to pull Smoker as she hold her breath and swim

x

Reaching the surface, they all take a deep breaths while also caughing some water out of their mouth. Zoro helped Luna to pull Smoker up on the shore while Sanji was pulling Luffy and Vivi and Nami was pulling Usopp, who hit his head before the water rush over them.

As Luna stand up and sequezee the water out of her soaked hair, Nami came towards her and hold up her head as she look at Luna's face with a worried eyes. Luna was looking at sky as she noticed that sun was setting down. ''What?'' she asked to Nami

''Your nose is bleeding.. Swimming only made it worse'' Nami said in worried tone before she turned to Sanji, who's yelling at Zoro as to learn why he saved Smoker while Luffy was still gasping for breath on the ground.

''I didnt want to do it either!'' Zoro yelled back at him ''But Luna was already had hold him and Luffy told me to help her!''

''It doesnt matter, we have to go. We've lost too much time'' Luna said but Nami turned her head as she tried to clean the blood on her face and asked Sanji where is Chopper and ended up with putting a parfume on herself while Sanji was cursing Crocodile with anger as he learn that Luna was poisoned with food, out of everything and to a lady. Both of them were unforgivable for Sanji

''Grant D. Luna!'' Suddenly Smoker yelled furiously as he slam his jitte at the back of Luna but Zoro blocked it with one of his swords before Luna also look at him from her shoulder, just turning her head back a little ''Why did you saved me, you and you Roronoa?!'' he asked loudly, looking ready to fight them right there as he glare at both Luna and Zoro

''I dont know about Luna but I was only following 'Captain's Orders' You dont have to read that much, okay? Its just one of his crazy whims'' Zoro said coldly, causing Smoker to look at Luna this time

''Come on now, Smokey'' Luna said with a little smile ''You might be a weird stalker to follow Luffy so far here but,'' causing Smoker to glare daggers to her while Zoro laugh a little ''I saved you because we need you'' causing Smoker to raise an eyebrown ''And you also need us''

''And why we need eachother?' Smoker asked with a frown while others were also looking confused

''Because you dont have any men to fight with Crocodile and his men and it would take too long time for the reinforcement to arrive here'' Luna said with her little smiling face ''But we also dont have enough people too. Crocodile planned something Alubarna with both armies but we dont know what, so take your men there and figure out what it is and we will be taking care of Crocodile and his men while stopping the rebellion'' Luna said

''Why would I do samething you say?'' Smoker asked as he put a cigar in his mouth and lit it after he put down his jitte as Zoro done the same with his katana

''You're gonna let people kill eachother because of Crocodile after all the talk you made about justice and criminals?'' Luna asked before they start to glare at eachother in silence while others were looking back and forth between them as Strawhats were also thinking 'How could she be an idiot while she is also smart?' in their mind just the moment they heard marines and Luffy and Usopp suddenly awakened with yellings

Luffy then noticed Smoker, who's glaring at Luna, and turned to face him, looking ready to fight ''Smokey!? You wanna fight?!'' he yelled as Usopp also yelled at Luffy to forget about him and run. The tense silence come back with this as Smoker look at them all and moments later, he closed his eyes with a sigh

''Only this time'' He said to Luna before turn back at Luffy ''Go. This is the only time I'm letting you go Strawhats, next time we meet I'm taking you down'' causing Luna to smile a little

Everyone stare at him, some broke out into smiles like Vivi as she know now the marines will also help them to save her country while Sanji was warning them that they should go now since the rest of the marines coming. They all start to run off but Luna stopped in a couple of step as she saw that Luffy was still staring at Smoker. Zoro also stopped, calling after them to hurry up

After staring at Smoker in silence for a moment longer, Luffy suddenly smiled big ''You know, you're not such a bad guy afterall, Smokey!'' causing Smoker to startle at what he said as his face grow red from either embarrasment or anger, maybe both ''Get the hell outta here!'' he yelled while swinging his jitte at Luffy which he was start to run along with Luna and Zoro with marines not far behind them.

While they were running with yells, Nami also start to yell at Luna not to run and she will only get worse, causing Luna to look at her weirdly before she yelled back at her that she knows but they have to run and what was she supposed to do in the situation they're in anyway. Sanji was yelling after this with wide open arms and hearted eyes as he was saying that he will carry her but Luffy suddenly took her with one arm under her knees and keep running while Luna was now sitting like a child on Luffy's arm, causing Sanji to curse him since he was the one who wanted to carry Luna.

''Where is Chopper?!'' Luffy asked as they were running off, not affected from Sanji's curses

''He will be following Nami-san's parfume smell!'' Sanji answered as his eyes turned back to hearts again and go to swoon over Nami as he talk about beautiful smells

x

After running what felt to them like for a long time, they finally reached just outside the town

''Hey! Dont tell me we're supposed to run all the way to Alubarna from here!'' Usopp yelled as his tongue rolled out with tiredness

''Eyelash! Where did eyelash go?!'' Nami asked as she look around

''There's a stable here, right? Lets get some horses!'' Luffy yelled out as he look at his right side

''Dont worry..'' Sanji said with a smile as his cigarette was also in his mouth ''Look up ahead!''

''Hey guys!'' Chopper yelled down at them , waving excitedly as he was riding a huge crab with ropes attached to either side of its mouth and the pervent camel was also sitting besides Chopper.

''A crab?!'' Usopp screamed, his eyes bugging out as he look at the huge crab

''Chopper!'' Luna and Nami yell as they look at him with Nami in shock and relief and Luna with a big smile while Vivi was also gasping in amazement at the 'Moving Crab' as she called it. Luffy and Luna however look at it with hungry eyes as Luffy was also drooling, obviously thinking of eating it until Chopper call out that he was going to give them a ride

''We get to ride it?!'' Luffy asked happily while Luna was sulking a little as she was still being carried, she was thinking it was looking delicious and all she ate until now was poisoned food while Chopper was explaining that Eyelash was born in Rainbase and has a lot of friends and Scissors, as Nami named, was one of them.

''I cant believe you found one!'' Vivi said with a big smile as the Scissors use his claw to raise them up from the ground to onto his back ''Maving Crabs are always submerged under the sand so is nearly impossible to spot one!''

''Its pretty fast, right?'' Zoro asked while they were rising on top of the crab

''Alright!'' Chopper said as the Crab start to move with an incredible speed while Luffy was saying Luna's poisoned to Chopper while letting her to sit on the crab now, causing Chopper to panic, saying that he cant do anything to a poison at that moment on a crab like that while others were start to panicking too

''Relax, I can take the antidote and I have some immune to poison, so this much wont kill me'' she said calmly as her hand gone to her nose with a little blood start to drip again while they were gaining more speed

''How? Wasnt the antidote with Crocodile? Does he even still have it?'' Usopp asked without stop as he look at Luna with worry. Even thought she said it wont kill her, she was still bleeding

''No'' Luna said slwoly as she wiped the blood with the napkin Chopper gave to her while he was also examining her as much as he could ''The antidote is with Ro along with my katana and bracalet'' she said causing them to relief a little as they thought that Miss All Sunday would give them to Luna but just at that moment they all startled with Vivi's screaming and turned to see that Crocodile's hook was around her waist and was pulling her backwards, away from them.

Zoro was turned to Chopper and yelling to stop the crab while Luna suddenly grab Vivi and switched their place as she also throw Vivi towards Sanji while she was pulling back. Luffy stretch his arm out and pull himself just behind Luna too while others were yelling after them as Sanji was also catched the shocked Vivi

''Luffy-san! Luna-san!'' Vivi yelled with horror after them

''You guys go ahead! We'll be fine, so make sure you get there! Get Vivi to the Palace!'' Luffy yelled at them with a smile just before they disappear in the desert

''Luna, whatever happens stay away'' Luffy said hastily but seriously this time as he managed to free Luna from the hook ''Go somewhere he cant see you!'' just before he throw her away.
