Grand Line – Paradise
Somewhere in the middle of the sea – On the way to the next island
A few minutes away from Little Garden, the Merry sailed smoothly across the surface of the sea, its deck bustling with activity, the Straw Hat pirates were as lively and chaotic as ever, well, at least the male crew members were as excited as always.
Something strange was happening with the girls, but no one had noticed yet, not even them.
"LISTEN UP, EVERYONE, I HAVE SOMETHING TO DECLARE, ONE DAY I WILL GO TO ELBAPH! THE GREAT NATION OF THE GIANTS WARRIORS!", Usopp shouts, declaring to everyone that he would visit Elbaph one day.
"Shishishishishi! That's right, Usopp, we'll go there! We'll visit the homeland of the giants!", Luffy laughs with a smile.
The two then hug each other sideways, starting to dance together, swinging their free arms while happily singing in chorus "Elbaph-baph! Elbaph-baph! They're all giants, because they're giants! Everything is giant, because it's the land of giants! Hahahahahaha! Shishishishishishi!"
"How do they manage to have so much energy? I'm dying of exhaustion here", Vivi asks, lying on a beach chair with a reddened face and a slight discomfort to breathe, watching the excitement of the two with heavy, tired eyes.
"Who knows, with how much Luffy eats, that energy has to go somewhere, right? Changing the subject, your face is really red, Vivi, are you okay?", Nami, sitting on a beach chair next to Vivi, asks worriedly, despite feeling that her own body was somewhat heavy as well.
"I'm fine, just a little tired, it's a lot to process", Vivi says, thinking she was only this exhausted because of the hectic day full of revelations.
"No, something's wrong, and I'm not just talking about Vivi, I'm feeling weird too, my face is burning", Kaya says, the first to notice that something was wrong.
"Yeah, my face is a bit warm too and my breathing is a little heavy, it feels like I just exercised", Nojiko says, informing Kaya of what she was feeling.
"Yeah, we definitely have a fever", Kaya says, placing her hand on Nojiko's forehead to check her temperature.
"I do too, guys, I feel like my body's a little strange too, this isn't just the exhaustion from a hectic day", Nami says, also finding the situation odd.
"Guys, you're being too paranoid, it's probably just a little flu, it'll pass soon enough—", Vivi starts to say, standing up from her chair only to lose all her strength the moment after, collapsing to the ground as her vision darkens and her hearing becomes completely muffled with a 'tuinnnnnn' overpowering all other muffled sounds from the environment, fainting as soon as she touches the ground.
"VIVI", Nami screams worriedly, rushing to help Vivi, and despite not feeling well either, all the training she underwent made her more resistant, so she hadn't yet reached the same state that Vivi was in.
At that moment, Sanji arrives on deck carrying a tray with four small bowls of ice cream on top of it.
And as soon as he hears the Straw Hats' navigator's scream and then notices Vivi, unconscious and sweating profusely, collapsed on the ground with Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya by her side assisting her, he quickly places the tray on the floor and rushes over to help them.
The same happens with the rest of the crew, who, as soon as they hear Nami's clearly worried scream, run to see what happened.
=Scene Break=
Going back a few minutes in time, in Little Garden, while the two giants completely destroyed the island in their battle, lying unconscious in the middle of the jungle, were the four Baroque Works agents, whose existences had been completely forgotten by the Straw Hats and the giants at some point.
Finally gaining the courage to open her eyes, even though she had been awake since just before the Straw Hats left, Miss GoldenWeek sits up with some difficulty due to being tied up, and she looks around to make sure before murmuring somewhat disappointedly, "They really just forgot about us."
Not knowing how much longer they would be forgotten, Miss GoldenWeek crawls over to Mr. 3 and nudges him with her head, but nothing happens; he was still unconscious.
Seeing no other solution, Miss GoldenWeek bites him hard, making him wake up immediately with a scream of pain, "Ouchhhhhh! Wha... why are you biting me, Miss GoldenWeek?"
"You didn't wake up. Now, if you could untie us!", Miss GoldenWeek says as she turns her back, showing her hands tied with thick vines.
"Uhhh? Why are we tied up?", Mr. 3 asks confused, not understanding what was going on.
"The pirates captured us, but they forgot about our existence right after", Miss GoldenWeek says, informing him of what she knew.
After more or less understanding what had happened, Mr. 3 makes a wax knife and then quickly cuts the vines that were restraining him, freeing Miss GoldenWeek afterward.
He then cuts the vines tying Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine and wakes them up with repeated slaps to their faces.
"Let's get off this island before the giants completely destroy it in their duel", Miss GoldenWeek says, wanting to leave soon.
"Why the rush? We can kill the two giants by sabotaging their fight", Mr. 3 asks, still thinking he could kill the giants with a half-baked plan.
"If those bombs, which were our best chance against them, ended up not working, then a half-baked last-second plan isn't going to work either, and we don't have enough time to come up with a proper plan. Soon, we're going to get caught in the middle of this fight, plus, I think the Straw Hats have already set sail from the island", Miss GoldenWeek says, rejecting the idea.
"And where are we going to go without an Eternal Pose? Our Log Pose hasn't settled on the next island yet. Are we just going to sail aimlessly, hoping to find an island?", Mr. 3 asks doubtfully.
"We just need to get a little away from the island so we don't get caught in the middle of the fight, then when it's over, we'll come back", Miss GoldenWeek suggests, already tired of talking, never having spoken this much in her life.
"Alright, we're already screwed anyway. Can't chase those brats, the only thing left is to wait here. I don't have any better ideas, unless they send a rescue, which will also suck because whoever comes here will probably have orders to kill us, so all we can do is pray that our Log Pose locks onto an island before that happens", Mr. 3 says, accepting the idea since they seemed to have no choice.
"What's going on, anyway?", Miss Valentine asks, standing up completely confused.
"We were defeated without even having the chance to fight", Mr. 3 says, explaining what had happened.
"Great, we said they were strong", Mr. 5 says with a smug look, getting up from the ground and brushing the dust off his clothes.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever! Let's just get out of here", Mr. 3 says, clearly annoyed with the comment, leaving the island with the group following him closely behind.
=Scene Break=
Meanwhile, at some random port in the Kingdom of Alabasta, a ship was preparing to set sail, its crew seemingly just waiting for their captain so they could depart from there.
"Mr. 2, Sir Bon Clay, we've already prepared everything, the Swanda is ready to set sail", one of the crew members says as they spot the ship's Captain approaching.
"Alrighttttttt, Alrighttttttt! Stop being so proper, you caged queers! Why do I have to go capture those toxic queers? I'm a very delicate queer, you should be the ones doing this," Mr. 2, Bon Clay, the walking stereotype of a gay person, asks, not at all happy about having to work.
"Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be able to capture them, please sir! It was a direct order from the boss!", the entire crew shouts, horrified by the idea of having to capture Mr. 3, Mr. 5, Miss GoldenWeek, and Miss Valentine on their own.
"Ai, ai! little Zero is so annoying! That queer should relax more", Bon Clay says with a huff, strutting over to his ship.
