The Ocean's True Queen

Giants and A Little Garden

During the voyage, the mystics were confused about Crocodile or the fact that he was a warlord. Especially the kids.

"Mummy. Do you know who the seven Warlords of the sea are?" James asked getting the attention of the other members of the crew.

"Well, simply put, they are pirates who are given the authority by the world government." Jasmine said.

"What? I thought the government doesn't support Pirates." Teddy said. "That they are enemies."

"Under normal conditions yes. Although they work for the World Government, the Warlords themselves typically don't care about nor respect the Government. It's just a beneficial thing. They work with the government for protection." Buggy said.

"Right. In turn, they have to provide two things, overwhelming strength and great infamy. They go around beating up other Pirates one by one and that's why the government supports them. The idea with these guys is meant to serve as a threat to other Pirates of the world." Alvida said.

"Exactly. I gathered some info about them, and to be honest, it's not much.

First there's Crocodile himself, considered a hero over in Vivi's country, Alabasta

Then there's the greatest swordsman the world, 'Hawkeyes' Mihawk

The Navy's living weapon, The Tyrant, Bartholomew Kuma

A captain of the Fishman Pirates and a master of the Fishman karate, Jimbei, the 1st Son of the Sea

The master of Thriller Bark, Gecko Moriah

The only female member and the reigning Sovereign of Amazon Lily, the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock

Finally, the evil Charisma and king of Dressrosa, the Heavenly Demon, Donquixote Doflamingo

Together those seven people make up the Seven Warlords of the sea. This part of the Grand Line serves as their territory." Jasmine summarized.

"And to think, we'll be going up against one of them." Nami said depressed.

"Doflamingo? Mummy, isn't he the guy that helped us find the execution platform in Rougetown?" Severus asked.

That got everyone's attention.

"YOU ENCOUNTERED DOFLAMINGO, AND DIDN'T TELL US?!?!" Usopp freaked.

"Well, he was in the area, and he wasn't doing anything to us. He was...nice for the most part. And yes Severus, he helped us find the platform." Jasmine confirmed. "He didn't do anything to stop us. In fact, when Smoker encountered me, and attempted to arrest me, I think Doflamingo did something to his soldiers, and had them attack each other. I'm not really sure what Doflamingo did, but I can assume that he used a devil fruit power." She continued.

"But why would he help you? I thought the government has people like him working under them." Charlie said.

"Not entirety. Remember, he's still a pirate himself, so he would do as he pleases." Bill said.

After a while, the Sacred Lion had reached the Second Island of the Grand Line, Little Garden.

Only, there was nothing little about it. It looked like a type of jungle island.

"No matter what we have to be careful. I'm worried about what Miss all Sunday said." Vivi said.

"Yeah, if there are monsters on this island we could be stuck here for a while." Ginny said.

"Not only that, the entire Island's Uncharted and over grown. There's nothing little here!" Fleur said.

"Although for some reason, I feel like I've seen these plants and some kind of book before. I just can't quite put my finger on it." Nevile said.
