Where is the devil fruit sensitive when you need it!?

"So many times....I stopped them so many times. But it was hopeless no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't talk them out of this rebellion." Toh-toh filled in, guilty and angry that he couldn't stop them. "But they are almost exhausted now as well. The next battle will decide everything. They've been driven into a corner!! They're ready to die!!!"

"Please, Princess Vivi, STOP THESE FOOLS!!"

Alice looked at Toh-toh in distress. 'They're ready to die' echoing in her head again and again like a broken record. Oh, how familiar she is with those words. How often she wished it would come true but now the thought of death is horrifying to her. Kinda sad how her old team was suicidal but no one realised it until they grew older in their pace.

"Good old Toh-toh....please don't worry." Vivi assured, offering her handkerchief. He looked up, his face made Alice sad and frown.

"Vivi..."

"I'm going to stop the rebellion!" Vivi declared boldly making everyone but Luffy shocked. Vivi gave Alice a sad smile and nodded her head. Maybe she just wanted to assure Toh-toh that she would stop them like he wanted.

"Thank you..."

Toh-toh was generous enough to let the group stay in an inn for the night.

"Well, it's been a long day!! Let's go to bed and build our strength for tomorrow!" Usopp suggested while smiling at the crew. "Good night!"

Zoro, who carried him till here, which could be roughly 5 hours, was annoyed by this and picked up a pillow. "YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING ALL DAY!!" and with all his might, threw it at his head.

"That's not fair! I collapsed from exhaustion! I'm only human!! I'm not a monster like you!!" Usopp exclaimed, throwing it back in his face, making Zoro groan and roll his sleeve up.

"That does it!"

"Besides, you get the prize for fainting, blue-nose!!"

"I'm adapted to the cold!!"

"What are you trying to pull!?"

"WHO THREW THAT PILLOW!? YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF GUTS!!"

"DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW THE MEANING OF 'REST'!!?"

"LET'S FIGHT!!"

Alice sat on her bed in the corner, her back facing the group while she fidgeted with the chain watch her brother gave her as a parting gift. The messy engraving of letters was just like him. She ran her thumb over it, recalling the memories.

The laughter and yells of her and her brothers were like a faint voice in her head.

The laughter was cut off by the pillow hitting her head. Caressing her head, she turned around to see the crew having a pillow fight, some grinning at her to join them. She laughed and placed the watch in her belt before getting off the bed with her pillow ready.

"HERE I COME!!"

"UGH!!"

"HEY THAT'S CHEATING!!"

"NOPE!"

Laughter and yells filled the room, not faint anymore. No, this time it was loud and clear, booming even. Each is different and unique.

She grinned happily and cheered along with them before they all lay down on the ground tiredly. Alice wandered outside the inn to look for her brother and heard him and Toh-toh talking

"No, you're not! You're undoing all the work I've done!! What kind of help is that!?"

"Hmm, that's an interesting question."
