⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Grumbling. ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Alice is still asleep. Bless. ⠀

they plead and plead, knocking feverently at my heart so that their voices may be heard.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Rocking back and forth on her feet , watching the sun rise. ⠀

" I'll never forgive you! " Some angst featuring || @heartpiratemedic.bsky.social @chrcmatic.bsky.social

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ She's got a little gift she's made for @heartpiratemedic.bsky.social ⠀

“Weakness is a sin.”

/ I'm gonna focus on Sanju and Sanji rn but replies and stuff tomorrow when I can x

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ She sets Pato down , a devil fruit user ? That's so cool ! Like her mom's friend , uh , Thumper or something like that. ❝ He is ? Oh ! Show me what you can do , Pato ! ❞ ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ He's starting to sound like her friend Ludwig , her mother , if multiple people are saying this , her situation has to be wrong doesn't it ? ❝ ... I can't — if I didn't have to go back , I never would set foot on that island again. ❞

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ ... It's my home - but after the last thing I did he said I can travel a bit more before I have to go back. ❞ That last thing ? She read how a buster call works , mainly what ships carry what canons , the degree they're fired at , how it works means she can copy that.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ You can arrange for weapons by writing a letter to Armament Island and one of the sellers will be in contact with you ~ ❞ a practiced and rehearsed speech , meeting her boss would be out of the question , she's still compelled to protect him. ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Treat her well ? No , not at all , between the hits and degrading words , reminding her that even though she knows her mother now , she will never be wanted. Alice froze a little before smiling , ❝ I get paid well. ❞

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Hugging Pato gently , soft little tanuki !! ❝ Oh me ? ❞ she looks around , careful with her words , ❝ My boss is popular , not me , I just make the weapons. ❞ She has a bit of freedom until he tells her to come back , she hates going back.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ Eeek , I know of them , I ain't ever seen one myself , I know my boss wanted one for me to copy — ❞ though she doesn't know if she could ever replicate a pacifista , she could try but it won't be as powerful as the original. ❝ I heard some talk about the warlord clones >>

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ We deal arms to pirates , Revolutionaries and the marines. ❞ she nods a little bit , watching Pato , holding her arms up - let her hug him !

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ ... Notes about what ? ❞ She might be twelve but she's very well versed in how people plan , attack , think , even the experiments people do to each other , she was subject to those very early on. ❝ Kids ? ❞

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ It - I mean I only made it a few years ago so - ❞.its where every weapon she's made is stored , she's replicated everything they ever gave her , now she is on a mission to find more , create more so they can sell more. The arms trade is a very busy business.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ Hello - ❞ she's standing on her tip toes slightly , leaning on the desk , then climbing on the desk , now sitting on the desk. ❝ What are you doing ? ❞

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ Nico Alice ! Weaponsmith of Armament Island ! ❞ hands on her hips , proud as punch — though ... She should say much to be fair , Armament Island is no more than a shell of its former self ...

"Don't think you're about to take the era that Roger and Whitebeard left to us without a fight, you new generation~" >"That's right Boss! We'll show them all! Nukikikiki~"<

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Eyes are sparkling with absolute delight as he shows it off , Roger and Whitebeard ? This sheltered girl doesn't know those names. ❝ Thank you - ❞ she's taking hold of the weapon - eyes slowly turn white as she keeps it in her grip , a matter of seconds , that's all she needed. >>

there is a child who cowers inside me, and hopes that a god will eventually find me.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ A rare find indeed ! A concealed weapon is always something she finds interesting , considering she can make her own bones into weapons if she breaks them right. ❝ Woah - that's so cool ! May I hold it ? ❞ ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ You got weapons on ya ? I'm a trainee weapon Smith and I wanna learn all I can. ❞ the tale she tells everyone , but ... Sort of the truth. ❝ Panto - ❞ she repeats , he's kinda squishy , she wants to squish him !

Found this from 2023 ! Old Alice Edit.

Visual representation of the 1995 Evangelion series / film and then the 2010's - using this to show The Buki Buki no Mi had a previous user

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ ... That's a weird miau Miau you got there , Mista. ❞ Alice hasn't seen a tanuki before , not this man , but eyes scan for a weapon.

((Also, not me reading Nico Alice's devil fruit and being like....))

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ STARING - ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Blink , blonk , she's watching him quietly before looking at the desk , paper everywhere , nibbling on a biscuit she found. ❝ Mista Law , you look tired — ❞ ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ She doesn't remember the distance she felt over the nightmares , only now she's in a joyful mood and skipping through town. ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Peaking over the desk. ⠀

ㅤ Seven seals, seven tribes, six reclaimed, one shall be mine, And ere the end of all your days the Crimson Khan shall ride. . ㅤ

/ I will do her three solos at some point

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ It's not supposed to the same - I can never ... Make a weapon or anything like that from Scratch - ❞ she can design them , but she doesn't have the skills. It would be cool to be a traditional weapon Smith.

I҉ would like to pass the time somewhere singing cursed songs.

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ❝ Why ? ❞ Alice asked as she held the fork , she's never seen birthday cake !

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ She holds it awkwardly , ❝ Why ? ❞ ⠀

⠀ ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ ‎ᅠ ‎ Curious Alice noises. ⠀
