Sector W7, Part 1

Hello there, everyoooone! You've briefly been introduced to them in Viridi's Last Stand… but NOW it's time to officially meet Sector W7! They're some of my favorite children from One Piece, plus one OC! ;) This story is also the first of my new saga, called the Big Mom Saga!

Chapter 1: Chimney, Dreamer of Trains

Bathhouse Factory

Mechanical pumps were the only thing heard in these vast, hollow halls. The only beings that roamed the halls of this base were robotic ducks, armed with bathing supplies. Kids were tied within the center of this factory, trapped in bathtubs as mechanical arms forcibly bathed them. Mrs. Dirt watched this from her control station, a wicked smile on her face. "YOU kids should've thought TWICE before refusing to take your daily baths! You'll be scrubbed so clean you'll NEVER get dirty again!"

Hidden from her vision, behind one of the tubs' legs, a very small girl, only 3 inches tall, had her back pressed against the leg. She had grass-green hair, midway to her elbows, an orange shirt, aqua-blue vest, a blue patterned skirt with dark-green stripes, long orange socks, and blue Mary-Janes. "We'll see WHO thinks twice about something." She said, her black eyes glaring. She looked at her wristwatch communicator and spoke, "This is Numbuh 76.2, I'm close to the control room. Going in."

Spy of Sector W7, a Lilliputian

AEINCHA

A shadowed girl, with a wide grin on her silhouette, spoke, "Oi, Aisa-chan. How many are there?"

"Gyom-gyoooom." Her bunny companion said.

A girl in a brown, raggedy dress, angel wings, a white hat, and bare feet, closed her eyes as visions of robotic ducks and bathing children appeared in her mind. "There's 30 Duckbots. …Oh, make that 29. One of them died of a stroke. And there's 40 children."

AISA

"Can we take 'em?" another girl asked.

"Yah… we can!" The leader declared with a smirk. Immediately, the Duckbots jumped with a start when three garbage cans shot up, and the three girls wore them as separate pieces of armor. "Sector W7! THRASH 'EEEEMM!" Numbuh W473R, aka Chimney, the team's leader and pilot, exclaimed.

"Gyoooom!" Her rabbit, Gonbe, followed.

Chimney ran first, swiftly jumping around and bonking all the robo-ducks with her trashcan armor. Five ducks were charging at Aisa, but she held up a rope, tied around a big, dark-green pumpkin, and swung the iron-hard pumpkin around as it bashed all the Duckbots away.

Numbuh 777; Apis, the team's Animal Telepath, a girl in a mustard-yellow dress and pointed, white hat, closed her eyes and spoke to the rats within the walls. The rodents came pouring out, climbing up and entering the openings on the Duckbots to chew them out from the inside.

The three girls ran forward as Chimney spoke into her wristwatch, "Oi, April-chan! Are you in position??"

Somewhere else in the base, in another bathing room, Numbuh 7-Strokes stood in the room's doorway, looking at the trapped kids with an expressionless frown. "I'm here." She spoke with no emotion. "I can't free these kids with the water still running."

APRIL GOLDENWEEK

"Don't worry! We're going to shut it off!" Chimney assured.

"Gyooom!"

They turned down several more halls as Chimney jumped and kicked all the robotic ducks. "These things aren't the best defense, huh?" Apis asked.

"Mrs. Dirt's in the room down on the right!" Aisa spoke.

"Let's KICK HER ASS!" Chimney yelled determinedly.

"Gy-o-o-o-o-om!" Gonbe looked frantic at what she said.

"Uhh… don't tell Granny Kokoro I said that."

The three (plus one) soon reached the metal door as Chimney kicked it open, and the girls rolled in. "OKAY, Dirt O bāchan! Time for you to-" Chimney was blasted with a hose and pushed away.

"YOU Kids Next Door brats aren't getting the dirt on me!" the old woman exclaimed, armed with a shower hose and a belt of soap bars. "But I think a FEW of you could use a scrub. YOU, young lady!" she pointed at Aisa, who flinched. "Those feet of yours must be FIIILthy! HAVE a SLIP!" She hurled a soap bar at Aisa's feet, making the Nimbi slip and fall on her face. Apis tried to leap at her, but Mrs. Dirt blasted her away with a shower blast.

"Ouch-ouch-ouch-ooouuuch!" Apis shook frantically, her skin burning.

"AYAAAAAAAHHHH!" Chimney shook around even more.

"Gy-u-u-u-u-uh!" Gonbe was afraid to attack the bath-themed villain.

"Awww, what's wrong, Little Bunny? It's just a shower. If your kind had more of these, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FLEES!"

"Gyooooo!" Gonbe shielded his eyes from the incoming boiling spray. But when Mrs. Dirt tried to fire, nothing came out.

The robed woman looked at her shower confusedly. "HUUUH?!"

"Hey, guys, I did iiiit!" Mrs. Dirt turned around, her eyes widening at the tiny girl that stook out from a slot on her control panel. "I disabled their water flow from inside!"

Aisa spoke in her communicator, "Now's your chance, April!"

In the alternate room, April Goldenweek began to paint blue paint marks on each of the tied-up kids. The children felt incredible strength as they broke free of their bonds, confident smirks on their faces.

"Aaaaahhh-AAH!" Chimney ran forth and kicked Mrs. Dirt against the controls. She turned the woman over, holding her fist back. "And FYI: bunnies don't get flees!" With that, Chimney's fist was the last Mrs. Dirt saw before she blacked out. "…Do they?" Chimney asked. The girls shrugged.

They all gathered outside of the mid-ocean base where Aaron and Rhilliane Doblemitz guided Mrs. Dirt onto the S.P.R.A.Y.S.H.I.P.. Meanwhile, the imprisoned kids were speaking to Sector W7. "Thanks for the save." A boy said. "My hands were getting so soapy, I couldn't hold a game controller again!"

"It's all in a day's work!" Apis said brightly.

Aeincha was seated on Apis's shoulder when a whiff fell in her tiny nose. "Ewwww!" she pinched it shut. "You kids stink!"

They all blushed. "Uwuh, take a bath when you get home! At least it ain't against your will!" Chimney stated.

"Gyom-gyom." Gonbe agreed.

"Anyway, we'll be happy to take you home on our R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N.!" Apis smiled.

"Cool! Thanks, Sector W7!"

Downtown Water 7

After bringing the kids home, the girls and rabbit had returned to the island town of Water 7. It was a big, bustling town, built around an enormous water fountain. There were no roads, only canals, and people got around on horse-like fish called Yagara. Sector W7's treehouse was built atop the gigantic fountain (but no one noticed it but the children for some reason).

"WOOHOOOO!" Chimney cheered, raising fists in the air. The Sector W7 Leader wore her usual orange-and-red-striped dress with a yellowish-white, open blouse over it. She wore brown sandals with red straps, and had her large blond hair in frizzy pigtails that stuck up diagonally. As always, she sported her huge grin of bright white teeth. "That Dirty Baasan didn't stand a chance! We BLEW her bath salt!"

"Gyom-gyooom!"

CHIMNEY

"Oi, why they giving me the introduction now?" she asked.

"Still didn't give mine." Apis said.

Animal Telepath of Sector W7, an Arceist

APIS

Gonbe looked at the camera with annoyance. "Gyoooom…"

Pet of Sector W7, a cat—I mean, rabbit

GONBE

"Gyom, gyom!" he nodded.

"Now let's celebrate with ice cream!" Chimney declared.

The five kids and rabbit approached an ice cream stand and ordered their favorite flavors. Chimney got vanilla, Apis got blurpleberry, Aisa got chocolate, April got cherry, and Gonbe got carrot. Chimney also bought a strawberry one, and as they sat at a table, Chimney set the strawberry on the table for Aeincha. "And Aeincha gets an EXTRA big one!" she grinned. "We won the mission thanks to you!"

"Gyom-gyom!"

The Lilliputian laughed sheepishly. "Oh, come on, guys. You could've done it without me. I mean, April's the one who freed the kids."

The 12-year-old girl quietly licked her ice cream as she painted on a canvas. "I was just doing my job." she said simply. April had a doll-like appearance, with blushed cheeks, and her dark-red hair tied in braided pigtails. She wore a wide pink hat, a dark blue T-shirt with the word "Golden" written in orange, a sky-blue overshirt with a cloud pattern on it, a maroon-colored skirt, and blue-striped stockings covering her legs. She also had big, red shoes with white soles and stripes. Being the oldest of the team, she seemed to stand out the most, even though they all had something unique about them.

"Since that crazy business with the Viridi War, these everyday villains are a walk in the park to us." Aisa said. "The REAL villains are people like Viridi, not your everyday dentist or lunch lady. Don't you think?"

"It's true." Chimney frowned (but still grinned). "These Akuyaku-sans are jokes. Why is it the Kids Next Door evolved but they don't?"

"Maybe if you all were as big as me, it'd be more of a challenge!" Aeincha beamed. The kids (except April) exchanged laughter.

An alarm went off in Chimney's phone. "Oi, I have to go now." she said, standing up. "Granny Kokoro-san wants me to help load coal on Puffing Tom."

"Are you delivering to Santa Claus?" Apis grinned.

"Hahahaha! See you later, Sector-chans!" Chimney waved as she walked away, followed by her pet rabbit. ("Gyooooom!")

Puffing Tom Station Blue

Chimney trudged into the train's boiler room, her skinny arms hauling an enormous sack of coal, as big as a bed as she only inched a little at a time. "GYUH!" she finally stopped to catch her breath, sitting with her back against the sack. Eventually, she stood up and began to toss coal into the boiler with a shovel. This lasted for several minutes until she stopped. "Oiii… that's more exercise than the missions."

"Gyoooom…" Gonbe panted as well.

Chimney shot him a glare. "You didn't even help, don't give me that crud."

"Gyom…" Gonbe was ashamed.

The girl then entered the engineering room, looking at the empty seat. Her eyes wide as always, Chimney jumped in the seat, viewing the wide expanse of the endless sea, and the underwater tracks that stretched across. She gripped the train's lever and screamed with excitement, "Attention all passengers, this is your captain Chimney speaking, we'll be departing Water Seven in 3 minutes, please fasten your safety belts as we head for Kamabakka at ELEVENTY KAJILLION MILES PER HOUR!!"

"Gyooooooooooom!-"

"Chimney-"

"GAAAAH!" Both kid/rabbit fell out of the seat. Chimney jumped to her feet, seeing her old, chubby grandmother in the doorway with a wide smile similar to Chimney's.

"Chimneeeyy… you weren't driving unauthorized, were you?" She had a drink of rum.

"Ohhhh Granny Kokoro-san! I wasn't really driving it!" Chimney yelled with her hands up. "I was checking the ignition thingymawhatsit!"

"Nyah, ha ha ha ha ha ha." She had another drink. "Okey-dokey, Chimney." The old woman approached the windshield and stood by her granddaughter as they stared at the sea. "So, Chimney… how are things with you and your friends?"

"We're doing just fine, Kokoro-san!" Chimney grinned.

"Gyom-gyom!"

"I heard you kids got in a war recently."

"Yah, but we beat 'em bad! That Viridi furīku-san's factory didn't stand a chance against our R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N.!"

"That is a pretty impressive train, Chimney. And you built that all by yourself?"

"Yeah, yeah, I did! Don't you remember, Kokoro-san?"

In fact, Kokoro did remember. Chimney's been into trains as long as she can remember. …She can't remember too far, but it was enough.

Chimney lay on her belly, her feet in the air as she wore a bright smile. The 2-year-old girl was happily drawing in her sketchbook while Kokoro sat at her control panel, guzzling down rum. "Chimney? What are you drawing?"

"I'm drawing my own train, Kokoro-san! I'm going to make it myself, and I'm gonna drive it!"

The woman approached her ecstatic grandchild and peered down. It was a silly, little kid's drawing of a train, choppily scribbled with grey coloring. "What are those things on its sides?"

"Oh, those are rockets! I'm naming it Rocket-train! It's gonna fly, and drop people off anywhere they want!"

"Nyah, haha hahaaa! You've been drinking too much soda, Chimney. Trains don't fly."

Chimney jumped to her feet with a frantic, furious look. "Says who, Kokoro O bāchan! I gonna make it fly ALL through the sky!"

"Neeeee hahahahaha! Only someone drunk with too much soda would say that! After all, I was drunk enough to pilot a Sea Train."

The drunken woman led her granddaughter beside the windshield, where they stared into the bright, open sea. "Chimney… there's no limit for how far your imagination can stretch. If a great man can make a train that drives along the sea… someone just as crazy can make a train that drives in the sky. Chimney… I want you to make a train like that. Set your dreams high… and make a train like no other."

Chimney's wide, vibrant face filled with even more wonders.

And even today, her face looked no different. "Granny Kokoro… I'm gonna build the bestest, most epicest train in the whole universe! It'll fly in the sky! And go underwater! It can BREAK through anything! And it's indestructible! YEAH!" She stood upon the control panel with a determined grinned, raising a fist. "And I'm gonna PILOT that train! I'll make it go super-ultra fast and I can take anyone anywhere! EVEN to the other side of the UNIVERSE!"

"GyyyOOOOOoooommmmm!" Gonbe declared.

"Naaah ha ha! I knew I shouldn't have given you that much soda as a baby. Anyway… we need to deliver the rest of this coal. How would you like to drive the first stretch, Chimney?"

"AWESOOOOME!" Chimney eagerly hopped down and onto the seat. The excited 9-year-old started to fiddle around as the train started up. The Puffing Tom sped along the track in minutes, set on its straightforward path along the ocean tracks. "By the way, Kokoro-san. How did you move here from Oceana again?"

"Oh, Chimney. Do you ever get tired of this?" ("Gyoooooom…")

That was just a brief introduction. I plan to give each member of Sector W7 their own little one-shot, including Gonbe, making 6 chapters total. So yeah, introducing my favorite child characters from One Piece, Chimney, Apis, Aisa, and Miss Goldenweek. I actually took both of April’s name variants, Ms. April Fool’s Day and Miss Goldenweek, and came up with April Goldenweek. Also, introducing my own OC, Aeincha, because I just love little people. XP Anyway, next time, we will do Aeincha’s one-shot, and learn her backstory. (Now that I realize, Aeincha kinda looks like Ain from Film Z. Oh well. No relation.)
