"Mare... what happened to you?" asked Galadriel.

kneeling in front of her desk, Mare averted his gaze somewhat from Galadriel, while a bump could be seen on his head, as well as a tear in the corner of his eye.

"It's nothing." He assured. "Onee-san threw a tantrum and accused me of wanting to freeze her brain."

" Her brain ? »

Sighing, as she preferred not to get into this argument, Galadriel finally asked.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Mare? "

Raising his gaze, the elf was about to open his mouth. Nevertheless, in an instant, he caught sight of Albedo's gaze. Being behind Galadriel, with her arms wrapped around her neck, the succubus displayed a look that betrayed her anger. This anger was due to the fact that Albedo wanted to take advantage of being alone with Galadriel, to offer her a relaxation session in her own way.

However, when she was about to offer her invitation, Galadriel had received a message from Mare, telling her that he wanted to speak to her. Therefore, deciding to favor the dark elf, Galadriel had invited him to her office, preventing Albedo's plans from taking place.

Staring at Mare, Albedo flashed him a smile, while declaring in a voice filled with poison.

"I really hope what you have to say is important! It would be a shame for you if you dared to disturb our Lady for nothing."

Immediately, Mare felt intense shivers run through his body, as he began to shake with fear. Honestly, being used to his sister's behavior, he no longer felt real fear when he was scolded by Aura. However, he was horrified by Albedo's aura when she was angry. That was why he hated being alone with her.

Noticing this unease, Galadriel states.

"Albedo...if you continue to scare Mare, I'm going to have to order you to leave my office and ask Yuri to replace you for the day."

Hearing this threat, Albedo made her dark aura disappear completely, before displaying a horrified face.

"No, please! I didn't do anything! I swear."

Heaving another sigh, Galadriel simply placed her hand on her head. Seeing her calm down and purr as she felt her beloved's hand caress her head, Galadriel then turned to Mare, before putting on a comforting face.

"You can start, Mare! I'm listening."

"Huh…thanks! Actually, Galadriel-sama, do you remember the strange group of humans Onee-san and I saw coming to town last week?"

"Yes! And because of the fact that you demonstrated to me that they were strangely powerful, I asked you to watch them! Did something happen?"

"I… Onee-san explained to me that humans from another world arrived here! And… I think those humans also from this other world."

"Are you sure? »

"Not... Not really! It's just that I overheard their conversation with other people, and they don't seem to know anything about this world! For example, I saw their leader in awe of a car , just like Demiurge was when we came into this world."

"Honestly, I had confirmation of that statement a few hours ago." Galadriel affirmed. "Even if he never really met them, a prisoner whose I read his memories wanted to see them dead! Moreover, if Aura says that a human seems to her to be strong, it means that he doesn't normal! But, what I want to know is if they are a threat to Nazarick."

"It's hard to say! But, I think they suspect something."

" Eh ? Have they spotted you? »

"No idea! In fact, these suspicions are only an assumption on my part! It's just that I have the impression that their captain is not the leader of this group."

"Captain? " Albedo wondered. "Do these humans think they are sailors? »

"No! They say they are pirates."

"Pirates ?"

" Great ! " Galadriel said. "After a mythological monster, here comes Jack Sparrow! And why do you think their captain is not their leader?"

"He doesn't behave like a leader! He looks like an immature child! Besides, the other members of his crew hit or strangle him without any repercussions."

"Seriously?" questioned Albedo. "A leader who shows no leadership is doomed to disappear! Are these humans dumber than average?"

"Unless he's not the real leader of this group. " Galadriel understood. "Is that what you're trying to tell me, Mare?"

"Yes! I think his real captain asked him to play his part! And if so, that means he feels threatened! But I don't know if it's because he's is found in this world, or if it is because he knows that we are spying on him."

Reflecting, Albedo said.

"If he knows he's been spied on, he could end up wanting to attack Nazarick! It's not impossible that he even knows of our existence."

"That seems unthinkable to me." Galadriel retorted. "These humans don't know where they are! I doubt they could locate us, in just a few days, in a world totally unknown to them."

Suddenly, grabbing ten sheets from her desk, she threw them in front of her, and watched them line up perfectly in two rows. Thus, Galadriel had no trouble looking at the faces of the ten people Aura and Mare had been spying on for a week.

Regarding Luffy, she could hide the fact that he didn't have a real charismatic profile. He seemed too young, too small and above all, according to Mare, too stupid. If Galadriel had to appoint a leader among these people, she would have bet on the green-haired man, whose carnivorous gaze inspired much more respect than Luffy, or on the strange blue-skinned man. And there was also the dark-haired woman. Galadriel had never seen her, but the perfect drawing she had of her made her want to bet she had a little mysterious side. But it was not the only chosen one that attracted her.

Staring at Robin's profile and that of Nami, Galadriel had immediately been rendered by their physique. Judging by their faces, the demoness knew in advance that they had to have sexy authorized bodies. Possibly the sexiest human bodies she had ever seen.

"I wonder if I should get to know them quickly. »

Knowing that she was speaking more specifically of the two women, rather than of the entire crew, Albedo displayed a sulky expression, before retorting.

"My Lady, you will never find a person with a sexier body than mine."

"Sorry, Albedo-darling! But I really like diversity... and I want to experiment with new things on bodies that I don't know."

"You are mean."

"Don't worry! You too will have the right to participate in my experiments! And if you want, you will be my main guinea pig! I will make you scream all night, even if you beg me to stop break your hips."

Suddenly, having almost forgotten that Mare was there, Galadriel saw him staring at the ground, while his face had turned red. Even if his knowledge of sex was almost non-existent, he was certain to have, roughly, understood the meaning of Galadriel's words.

" Onee-san...I really don't think you'll be up to it, for several years. "

"Sorry, Mare! Indeed, I understand why you came to warn me! And what you say is not impossible! But, it is necessary for us to obtain details."

"Do you want us to kidnap one of them?" Albedo questioned.

"Bad idea! All I know about them is that the green-haired man almost killed the Shogun that Demiurge asked for! I had my doubts that it was him, but now the doubt doesn't is no longer allowed! This man who walks around with three swords is very dangerous! And if the others have the same power, kidnapping one of them risks being more complicated than expected and risks bringing serious trouble to Nazarick! Because if the know where we are, they'll come here and try to annihilate us! We have no idea how many people have been teleported here let alone those who are likely allies with these pirates! We must learn more about them before to declare war."

"Should we just keep spying on them?" Asked Mare.

"Right now, yes! I would like to know more about this world before I tackle this group of pirates."

Suddenly, she heard a "MESSAGE".

"Aura?" she wondered.

All For One's hideout

"We are back." Chopper said, holding up one of the convenience store bags.

"It took a while ! Where are my onigiris?" Said Zoro.

"Don't say 'thank you'" Usopp said throwing the snack at her.

"So they serve like that. It's a bit weird. Zoro said, unwrapping the foil.

"Tsss! This artificial, tasteless food is an insult. As long as I'm alive, no one in the crew will eat this." Said Sanji remembering the things some people buy.

"Luffy is already done." Said Chopper.

"I know but I try to stop him from eating that kind of crap. " Sanji said, still angry.

"Hey guys, check this out. We bought you some ice cold drinks. It's fun to taste." Luffy said, pointing to the frozen drinks.

"Huh? Really?" Franky said, as the rest of the crew got curious.

"Try it." Usopp said. " We took for each one, thinking about your preferences. "

Taking his, Jinbei removed the lid, in order to look at its contents.

"This drink is really strange! I have the impression of seeing a liquid and an ice together in the same cup. "

"Let's see what this drink tastes like." Brook said.

"Tssss." Sanji simply growled, squeezing the straw between his lips.

And everyone started sipping. But, immediately, Luffy and the other two saw them feeling the effects of the frozen drink.

"Ouch, my head." Said Nami making faces.

"Wow, that's frozen super cola." Franky said.

"Yohoho that really hurt my brain… if I still had my brain. "

"Grrrr! What is this horror? '' Said Zoro, who didn't like it. "It's too sweet and too frozen! How can we like that?

"It's only artificial! I can make a better drink than that." Sanji said.

"These are things you can find at any store for a few yen." Said Kurogiri. "Honestly, you can easily find better elsewhere! There are specialty shops that make better quality."

"See, Mist-guy agrees with me." Sanji said.

Suddenly, a kick hit the door and opened it with a huge crash.

"Yo, you idiots." Shigaraki said, entering the room, killing the good mood.

"What do you want?" Nami asked.

"Sensei wants to talk to all of you. " Shigaraki said.

" Why ? asked Zoro

"I don't ask him those kinds of questions. "Tomura retorted. "If he says something, I carry out his orders."

"Well, let's meet." Robin suggested.

"At least there's one smart one among you." Shigaraki asserted, pretending to step away from them.

However, he was surprised when he saw someone handing him an ice cold drink.

"It's for you, Hands-guy" Luffy said, grinning.

"What is it?" Tomura demanded.

"A frozen drink. "

"Grrr! What's inside? Poison or acid?" Tomura asks.

"Trust me, trying to poison someone is not our style." Sanji said. "Furthermore, if someone poisons food in front of me, I assure you that I will make him eat all the food, down to the last crumb. "

"And what's your style?" Demand Tomura.

"Kick your ass." Affirmed the entire crew.

" What ? " Growled the man.

"Shigaraki, there's nothing wrong with these drinks. " Said Kurogiri.

In response, Shigaraki grabs the drink from Luffy's hands in a very rude way. Then the pirates saw him take a sip.

"So?" Luffy questioned him, extending his smile.

In response, Shigaraki took the whole sip back, in Luffy's face.

"Here's what I make of your fucking kindness."

At first surprised, Luffy ends up showing anger.

"BUCKING." The pirate roared, clenching his fist.

"Do you want me to eliminate you?" Tomura questioned, positioning his hands towards Luffy.

However, just as an obvious fight was about to take place, a voice saw the whole building shake.

« TOMURA ! »

Recognizing All For One's voice, his young disciple immediately froze. Then, finally, he ends up backing away from Luffy, while growling.

"That will be for next time, Mugiwara."

Then, the man left, under the surprised and angry eyes of the pirates.

"Damn it! I never thought I'd be stuck here working with a supervillain." Usopp said. "Luffy, I told you it would be a bad idea to befriend that guy."

Remaining silent, Luffy only took his hat, to remove the splatter on it. Then, once done, he pretended to go to the room where All For One is.

Nevertheless, as the others followed suit, Zoro walked behind Luffy, still affirming.

"We are being watched. »

"I know." Luffy stated simply, putting his hat back on. "He followed us all afternoon."

" Heroes ? "

"I don't know."

Eventually, the pirates all gathered in front of All For One, who hadn't moved since they met.

"Thank you for coming." The man said. "Just like thank you for the work you've done over the past few days! But now if you want my full support, you have to make a delivery."

"Full support? " Nami asked, confused.

"Since all this time, are you still doubting us?" Asked Brook.

"Trust is not something that can be earned easily too! If you want my help, you have to help me! That's how it works." Said All For One smiling. "Besides, it's not like I'm going to ask you to do anything dangerous."

"And what was this mission? Jinbei asked.

"My dear friend, Dr. Ujiko is a specialist in molecular modification."

"Molecular modification?" Usopp wondered.

"Do you know the principle of fusion? The principle is to take the cells of several living beings and mix them together to create a new species! This is the principle of molecular modification! more resilient animals.

"What does it have to do with us?" Sanji questioned him. "Your doctor wants our DNA for his experiments?"

"No, not at all! He just finished one of his creations and would retain the power to store it somewhere." All For One replied.

"What kind of animal did he create?" Robin asked.

"Do you really want to see it?" All For One said, in a sinister voice.

"Nope." Said Usopp, Nami, Chopper and Brook nervous.

Suddenly, one of the screens near All For One lit up and the face of a doctor with strange glasses appeared on the monitor.

"Hi, there."

"Who is that?" Franky asked.

"It's my old friend: Ujiko." Said All for one.

The doctor looks at the Straw Hats with interest and confusion.

" Who are these people ? "

"These are the people who sent Tomura and Kurogiri to deliver our new species to their new home. Said All For One. "Do you have a problem with that ? "

"No, not really! Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you." Said the doctor.

"Hey, where is the animal?" Jinbei asked.

"Why are you asking him that?" Usopp questioned.

"If we have to make this delivery, we might as well know what we know! Let's avoid unpleasant surprises."

"Are you interested?" The doctor asked, with an evil smile. "Very well! I'm going to do you the honor of being the first people to see my latest creation."

Then, stepping aside, he allowed the pirates to see a huge figure behind him, which was in a vat. Then, seizing a lever, the doctor lit up the whole room, which made an apparition of pure nightmare appear.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" shouted the cowardly group.

"What is this monster?" Zoro asks. "Is it really an animal?"

"He's a Nomu, an artificial being with two Quirks. It is the first of a new line of species." Ujiko said.

"He looks like he belongs to Thriller Bark zombies." Said Franky very horrified that this thing is really ugly.

"You want us to take care of this thing?" Usopp asked in great fear. "There's no way I'm going anywhere near...that thing."

"Same." Nami and Chopper agreed.

"If that thing touched me, I'd have nightmares about it all night long." Brook stated.

"Yet, that's the mission I entrust to you! And not only that! Deliver the Nomu to the spot with Tomura." Said All For One. "And in exchange, you'll get what you want! The information you need to get home."

"What?" The pirates wondered.

"Do you really know how we can get back?" Nami asked.

"Hahaha! No one should underestimate my networks! I know everything. And before long, you'll be home."

Still, there was something wrong that worried the pirates.

"What do you get with this?" Luffy asked. "Why is this delivery so important?"

"I just want to give this as a gift to an old friend of mine. He doubts I can create a new species." Said All For One. "I'm sure he'll be very interested in me showing him this Nomu."

"I don't know why, but that doesn't sound right." Said Robin.

" Yeah. " Chopper said clutching her leg.

"I feel like we're going to be used." Jinbei affirmed. "Besides, what proves to us that we can go home after this?"

Laughing, All For One noticed.

"You see? You don't have anymore, you don't trust me! Still, I'm the only person who can help you! Now it's up to you to decide what you want to do."

"Luffy. " Nami said to her captain hoping to find a solution.

"Just one delivery, and then you help us for real. No tricks or tricks?" Luffy asked.

"I will give my word to Luffy and my word is something I will never lie about." Affirmed All For One.

"OK." Said Luffy okay.

"Excellent." Said All For One.

"So, when will the delivery take place?" Luffy asked.

"In a few days I have to wait for a location to open up so we can deliver properly," All For One said.

"Ok." Dit Luffy.

"Luffy." Said his crew, except Robin.

"He said it: we have no choice."

"And if this thing goes crazy, I shoot it down." Said Zoro showing his sword.

Suddenly silent, the swordsman rushed out of the room.

" Zoro ? "

Pulling out one of his sabers, Zoro returned to Kurogami's bar, who was also surprised to see him return.

"Roronoa?"

Ignoring him, Zoro headed outside the building. And once outside, he turned in all directions. Seeing no one, he began to shout.

"Come out of hiding! I know you're there."

No answer.

" Grrrr ! "

Seeing him trying to find her, Aura wandered off to another roof. Being out of breath, she tried again to try to get inside the bar. And having taken advantage that the pirates had all gathered around All For One, she had managed to reach the place where Kurogami was, without being seen.

Then, trying her luck, she moved closer to hear All For One's conversation with the pirates. Unfortunately, she had been forced to flee at full speed, while Zoro had once again sensed her presence.

Looking at him in frustration, Aura wondered.

"Who is this guy? It's impossible to get into this bar because of him."

"Aura, are you still there?"

Hearing Galadriel's voice in her head, the dark elf immediately apologized.

"Sorry my Lady! I wanted you to be able to hear the whole conversation but I had to rush off."

"It's okay, Aura." Galadriel assured her.

Having, indeed, been able to take advantage of Aura using the telepathic message to eavesdrop on the conversation, Galadriel had been able to hear the most important parts.

As a result, starting to smile, she declared.

"Aura...I'll have a new mission for you."

Looking around with his cameras, All For One only saw Zoro looking around, before being joined by his friends. Not seeing the slightest trace of Aura, he ended up simply shrugging his shoulders, thinking that Zoro had become paranoid from being locked up in that bar.

Concerned about something more important, he chuckled.

"Let's see how you handle this All Might. Not just the Nomu and Tomura, but a bunch of stronger than normal people. Let's start UA's downfall," All For One said with a triumphant smile.
