Skipping episode 92's opening and title, they could see a pirate crew pillaging a desert town. The people were absolutely helpless against them until one of them saw Crocodile on top of a building, even being brought to tears at the sight of him. Even when Crocodile insulted them, the people were still grateful to him.
The audience can't help but to frown at this, hearing the people yell out wonderful titles at Crocodile.
These people truly believe in him. Aizawa thought.
The pirates were absolutely insulted since Crocodile believed that he could take them down, especially since he's a government dog acting like a hero.
Crocodile ordered those who don't want to die to lay down on the ground. The moment he got down, the pirates took the chance to stab him... but the man seems to be barely affected.
When he raised his hook, sand came towards it and swirled around like a storm, taking the crew down as they lied stiff in the sand.
The students held their breath once they saw the fat captain look so different now; dried and thin with shrunken features.
Their reaction was contrasted by the townspeople's joy to see him and their disappointment when he left, happily chanting his name.
Of course they know that not every villain's defeat would be clean and spotless, that not every hero has to smile at the people around them. It was just... different when you know a 'hero' have such ill intent and yet the people around them are oblivious to it, not sensing any future danger.
The guards arrived to see that Crocodile have already beaten them to it, and a report to the king has one of them telling him that Crocodile seems to be always one step ahead of them. Still, Cobra thought it's fine as long as the citizens are okay.
"Goddamn it." Kirishima cursed, wishing they'll realize it soon.
On the Going Merry, Nami could tell that the ship is going to Alabasta, giving Vivi hope.
The two looked down when they heard some commotion between Sanji and Luffy. With the rubber man's terrible poker face, the cook could easily tell that he's eaten all their food, and it was confirmed when Sanji lied about something around Luffy's mouth, earning the rubber man a kick in the face.
Sanji have to ask Nami if they could get a lockable refrigerator since the giant rat trap is no longer good enough.
"A giant rat trap?" Shoji said, absolutely baffled.
Nami will considered it since this is a life or death situation here.
Meanwhile, Usopp, Chopper, and Karoo were fishing, eating out of the others' views. Much to their nervousness, Sanji approached, and he bonked their heads together.
"You have to be more careful with your food!" Iida exclaimed as some of the others snickered.
After some time, the fish weren't biting as Usopp and Luffy fished. The sniper said that it was Luffy's fault for eating the bait, though Luffy pointed out that he did too.
Hizashi dry heaved at that as a couple of students looked disgusted.
Vivi came over to ask if they caught anything yet, but she soon discovered that the two were using Karoo as bait, earning them bonks on the head.
"Poor Karoo." Koda sighed.
The princess noticed that they're heading for some green steam, though when she told Nami about it, the navigator said not to worry about it since it's just a hot spot, explaining there's underwater volcanoes, and in thousands of years, an island will be born.
Sanji asked Luffy and Usopp if they caught anything, but Luffy's hungry so the cook has to search through the storage for anything.
Just as he entered the mess hall, the ship have entered the steam, much to their dismay since it smelt like sulfur and they can't see.
At the same time, Mr. 2's ship entered the same steam, and when they went through, the agent somehow disappeared.
"...How did that happen?" Momo raised an eyebrow.
Back on the Going Merry, Usopp and Luffy managed to catch Mr. 2. who's confuse on why he grabbed Karoo.
"Not even he knows." Jiro shrugged.
Bon Clay fell into the sea, begging for help, and after the eyecatches, he was seen on the ship, dripping with sea water. He was very grateful that they saved him, but asked for a cup of warm soup.
From above, Vivi seemed to recognized him at first as Bon Clay thought she's cute, much to her disgust.
When Luffy noticed he can't swim, Bon Clay confessed that it's because he ate a devil fruit. To entertain them, he decided to show off his powered, which involved smacking Luffy.
"Hey, why did you do that?" Toru protested just as the Straw Hats jump into action.
Eyes widen when they heard Luffy's voice in a much higher tone than before.
Before their eyes, the agent looks exactly like Luffy, minus the clothes.
With the touch of his left hand, Bon Clay can turn back to normal. This is the power of Mane Mane no Mi.
Ochako's jaw dropped, being reminded of Toga.
Luffy thought that was amazing as Bon Clay touched the others' faces.
By simply touching his face with his right hand, the agent can change his appearance, including body... which he showed by opening his shirt as Nami.
Mineta cursed the fact that they didn't get to see any of Nami's 'goods' as Ochako deeply frowned at this. It would make disguising yourself so much simpler like that.
Of course, that earned him a punch to the head by the real Nami.
Bon Clay apologized since he can't show anymore of his power, but with some cheering from Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy, he decided to show off more of his appearances. One of them was a face that Vivi recognized: her father.
"He has Cobra's face." Izuku mentioned.
"At least Vivi could tell them later about it." Iida said.
"But there are many things he could do with the king's face." Momo worried.
Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy were having a blast with Bon Clay, but the fun has to stop when the Swanda came into view. The four has to make their tearful goodbyes, but they'll always be friends.
"Really?" Katsuki rolled his eyes.
"It's sweet!" Sato exclaimed.
The Straw Hats heard Mr. 2's crew say his codename, and once the Swanda is gone, the Straw Hats were shocked. Luffy asked why Vivi didn't know his face, and the princess claimed it's because she've never met Mr. 2, Mr. 1, or his partner, along with their powers, but she does know of the rumors.
With such a detailed and specific description of Bon Clay, she should had definitely noticed him.
"No offense, but yeah." Denki shrugged.
Vivi was distressed, recognizing one of the faces Bon Clay turned into was her father. As Zoro pointed out, he could do a lot of bad things as the king.
"Exactly." Momo agreed.
They recognized that Mr. 2 will be quite a problem as their enemy, especially once he realizes they're the enemy. Since Mr. 2 can transform into them now, they won't even be able to trust each other.
Ochako nodded, glad they're taking this seriously.
While that is the case, Zoro pointed out that now they do know of Mr. 2's powers, that also means they can figure out countermeasures.
While Bon Clay is happy about the small friendship he'd made, the Going Merry was ricked violently by the sea until a Sea Cat rises from the waters.
"Oh look," Hizashi snickered, lightly jabbing an elbow into Aizawa's side. His friend could only give him an annoyed look.
Chopper and Usopp were terrified by it, but Luffy and Zoro are desperate for a meal. Nami could tell they're on the right track.
Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji were going to fight it as a meal, but Vivi stopped them by smacking them with a broom.
The Sea Cat escaped as Luffy and Sanji were confuse. Vivi told them they can't eat it because Sea Cats are sacred to Alabasta.
Still, Luffy's disappointed that their food has gotten away, but Vivi reassured him that they can stuff their faces soon, which led the rubber man to wonder if what cat will appear this time.
"I'm pretty sure it won't be a cat." Aizawa dryly murmured.
Vivi could tell that they've entered Alabasta's climate area because of the Sea Cat.
Then they noticed a lot of Baroque Works ships in the distance, and Vivi'd guess that its employees are gathering and there are probably Billions, meaning their enemies are the 200 elites.
Usopp asked if they should fire at them, but Luffy thinks it would be quicker to beat them up... after they eat. Zoro and Sanji believed they shouldn't as the agents are a bunch of small fries, and there's only 8 of them.
Later, the crew tied white pieces of cloth to their arms, confident that they don't need to doubt their friends.
"Lucky that Bon Clay can't copy their clothes." Ochako let out a long sigh.
Sanji asked if Mr. 2 can really become similar when he transforms, and Usopp corrected him, saying that it's the same, not similiar.
"Oh yeah, Sanji hasn't met Mr. 2 yet." Toru said.
"Nor does Baroque Works know about him." Jiro added.
"Hopefully, they can use that to their advantage." Izuku said.
Chopper asked what he should do, and Usopp told him to do he can do, and that it's okay to run away from the enemy you can't defeat... which seems more like advice to himself. Still, Chopper understood.
Luffy can see the island, and Vivi told them to stop at Nanohana and that they have to hide the ship.
The captain reassured them that the thing on their left arm is the sign of their friendship. As Nami reminds Luffy of their enemy, Vivi looked at her left arm with a smile.
"To Be Continued."
"I'm glad that Vivi is trusting the crew more." Kirishima said, remembering how she was in the last arc.
"She just needed a little more time." Sero said.
Aizawa took a glance at the little sticky note. "Alright, episode 93 will be half filler." When he looked up, no one missed the way he looked at Katsuki, as if daring him to complain about the filler part. He'll probably will during the episode, but for now, he stayed quiet, letting out an annoyed huff.
Skipping episode 93's opening, they saw Vivi staring at the desert island. Nami asked if she has a plan for the Rebellion, and she does, but there's no guarantee it will make things stop. She's determined to not make a hasty decision.
"I mean, I'm sure you won't, but I'm not sure about Luffy here." Tsuyu said.
After skipping the title, the crew's ship landed near Nanohana of the Alabasta Kingdom. Nami advise them to use self-control and try not to act on instinct too much. Sanji happily agreed, but Luffy, the guy who needs to hear it the most, is gone already as he ran for a food place.
"I knew it." Tsuyu said.
"...Someone get a leash for that kid." Aizawa sighed.
"I'm pretty sure he'll break out of it." Toshinori sweatdropped.
Vivi asked what they should do, and Sanji told her not to worry since he'll be easy to find, just go to the place with the most commotion, though Nami wishes Luffy realized that he has a bounty on his head.
Several students nodded in agreement at both points.
"Still, they're going to be in a giant desert." Denki pointed out.
Vivi said that she and Karoo will stay on the ship since she's too recognizable here, though Sanji did want to shop with her.
When Karoo squawked, he was able to point them to where Mr. 3's ship is, surprising them that Mr. 3 is still kicking it.
Usopp has a plan... which involves everyone, except for Sanji and Chopper, hiding under a big tarp and walking their way into the town.
...
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen." Katsuki complained.
"But it's working." Aoyama shrugged.
The crew managed to hide in a ruined house. Sanji noticed Vivi was spacing out, and she admitted that she just felt a relieved from seeing the town, but at the same time, she can't rest easy.
Zoro asked what will she do now and what should they do. Vivi was surprised since the agreement was to only bring her to Alabasta, but with a small bonk to Vivi's head, Nami told her that they've traveled this far, there's no way they'll leave her now.
"Exactly. You guys already went through so much." Mina said.
Also, Nami wanted that reward.
Ochako sighed, bowing her head.
Even as Nami and Zoro fight over the debt, Vivi felt relieved.
The princess told them of an oasis called Yuba, which is where the rebel army is based in, and she'd like to go there to stop the uprising, but they have to cross the desert. For that, they'll need to stock up on food and water, but Mr. 3 is in town.
Sanji reminded them that the agent hasn't seen his nor Chopper's face, so they have to count on them.
"Oh, Chopper's first mission!" Mina gushed.
While Sanji and Chopper get the supplies, Nami is wondering where's Luffy.
Cue Luffy in the desert.
"...I'm not even surprise." Jiro sighed.
Luffy attempted to go back the way he came until he noticed smoke coming from a building. He immediately raced there, believing the smoke means it's a food place.
"Or on fire." Iida said.
"Or a chimney is warming up a place." Denki added.
"In a desert... at broad daylight?" Momo raised an eyebrow at him as Katsuki mentally wondered if this is the filler part of the episode.
Back in Nanohana, Sanji showed Chopper some grilled deer meat-
"Sanji, no!" Toru cried out.
-as the cook's fascinated by all the ingredients here.
Chopper sniffed the air and noticed there's something strange mixed with the food's smell. Sanji was able to tell that it's perfume, which Chopper doesn't like. He was quickly abandoned by Sanji, who went to hit on some girls until Chopper pulled down his pants to remind him of the shopping.
The girls shook their heads at the cook.
Chopper really doesn't like the smell, and the cook told him to not push himself. In fact, Sanji will do the shopping while the reindeer waits over there...
Then, he chased after the girls.
"Sanji, how dare you leave Chopper alone!" Momo furiously exclaimed as Chopper was starting to have symptoms of heat stroke.
"And poor Chopper, the first island he goes to is a desert island after living in a winter island all his life." Tsuyu can't help but to pity him.
He found a nice dark place in to rest in from a truck... which someone closed the door on and took him out into the desert.
"Chopper, no!" Toru cried out as Katsuki also wondered if this is part of the filler.
As Sanji tried to find Chopper, Vivi explained that Nanohana's perfume is actually made in an oasis called Katorea, which is where Luffy found himself at.
Sadly, it doesn't look like a food place to Luffy, calling out for someone but no one came out.
There's no water, but there are these bags. After the eyecatches, Looked looked through all of them and only found nasty, green powder. As a man shakes in the darkness with a sword, Luffy decided to burn all the green powder since he's thought it was poison.
"Yeah, this is definitely filler." Katsuki let out an annoyed sigh.
Burning the powder made the smoke turn green. Before Luffy could walk off to another food place, the green smoke made it rain, alerting the man inside.
"Wait, the powder made it rain?" Denki said in confusion, which was the same feeling spread to the others. "Why isn't it being used everywhere then?"
The man was furious with Luffy, especially learning that he burned all of his Dance Powder, but Luffy doesn't really care. The man tried to attack him, but Luffy dodged him at each swing.
Once Luffy realized that the powder was the man's dream, he apologized, but that didn't made things better for the man, especially since Luffy doesn't have any money.
When Luffy suggested that he buys some more, the man claimed the powder's outlawed, which made the rubber man realized that he's a bad guy.
"But why?" Denki continued to ask.
"Maybe it messes with the environment." Sato guessed.
Cutting away from the old man trying to kill Luffy, Chopper woke up and noticed where he is, absolutely frightened/ It doesn't help that he knocked over a box, and was surprised by the rifles that came out. Luckily, he was able to hide away before he was caught.
"Poor Chopper..." Ochako whined as the girls and Koda can't help but to feel bad for the little reindeer.
The truck stopped as the guys went inside the building for Koza. The camel looked around as one of the men opened the truck to see Chopper playing dead, wondering if he's food.
Inside the tent, the man told Koza that they've gotten the weapons, and Koza apologized for having them to do that. Soon, the man asked why he's in a daze, and Koza claimed it's because the country's screw. It won't stay in peace no matter what, and now they have enough men after 300,000 of the Royal Army switched to their side, but they don't have enough weapons or food, and their strength is at its limit. He doesn't believe in shedding anymore unnecessary blood.
They have to change the country!
The students gulped. Koza seems reasonable in some way, clearing after something he believes in, but hopefully he'll know the truth some day.
The soldiers wasn't able to find that reindeer from before, and the camel wanted water, so one of the men showed him the way, much to his delight.
The camel walked off... hiding Chopper under his cloak. He managed to bring him out in the desert for safety, Chopper asked why he'd saved him.
Apparently, it's just because the camel's cool.
"Well, thanks, camel." Jiro said as Koda let out a sigh of relief.
The two went their separate ways. For a moment, Chopper wondered who those people were but he decided to go back to Nanohana by the scent of the perfume.
Back to what happened to Luffy, he was safe, having beaten up that guy who tried to kill him. The two apologized for what happened, but the man does ask Luffy to keep the powder a secret. Soon, Luffy asked what it is anyway.
The man said it's Dance Powder, or Rain-Summoning Powder, and it can cause a downpour. When he asked if he should explain it in more detail, Luffy admitted that he wouldn't understand anyway, and the man has to agree. The two laughed until Luffy hit him on the head for being rude.
The man was able to explain it in more detail, but it just seems to get higher and faster for Luffy to listen to. Still, luffy understood it as 'mystery powder.'
Izuku blinked, pen in hand. "...Did anyone get that?"
"It's mystery powder." Denki simply answered.
Luffy asked why they would want to use the powder to make it rain, and the man explained that Alabasta has always been battling with drought, but the World Government has outlawed Dance Powder, executing anyone seen using it. In fact, it's what started the country's rebellion.
Luffy asked if his dream is to use the Dance Powder to save the country, but in actuality, he just wanted to make money by selling the water.
"Of course." Ochako sighed.
Before Luffy could go out to look for another food place, the man asked again for Luffy to not tell anyone about this, and Luffy won't since he doesn't care. To make sure he doesn't, the man made him some lunch.
The two made their goodbyes, but not before Luffy told him that he can't even turn the man in since he is a pirate.
"Well, that was pointless." Katsuki sighed.
"I think the Dance Powder will make a return at least," Izuku said. "And maybe the camel too."
Back with the other Straw Hats, Nami and Vivi thanked Sanji for the dancer outfits.
"Nice." Mineta gave his thumbs up as he and Denki drooled over the girls. Some of the other guys can't help but to blush in the close ups on the them.
Vivi reminded him to get commoner clothes, but Sanji claimed that dancers are commoners. Vivi added on that they need to go through the desert, but Sanji doesn't mind carrying them if they get tired.
The girls sighed, shaking their heads.
Sanji compared the other guys to looking more like bandits. Usopp asked what Chopper's doing laying on the ground, and Chopper claimed that the smell is killing him.
...and Nami added more perfume on.
"Nami!" The girls and Koda quickly scolded the navigator.
They plan to go to Yuba, but they have to trek through the desert first, which Vivi is uneasy about since it's dangerous. Once again, she asked for their help, which is what the Straw Hats were waiting for.
Then they realized they were missing someone.
Cue Luffy in the desert, eating his rice balls.
"To Be Continued."
"They just noticed he wasn't there?" Katsuki complained.
Moving onto episode 94, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see Ace walking around town.
"Oooooo..." The girls blushed, seeing that he's shirtless.
He belongs to another pirate crew. Izuku noted the tattoo on Ace's back. What does he want with Luffy in the first place then?
An old man tried to see Ace a golden apple that will let him live for 1000 years, but Ace is only interested in living in today. The he walked off.
"So manly..." Kirishima admired.
The old man was disappointed, but his apple did caught the attention of Chopper and Usopp. The two would had bought it until Nami hit them on the head, and Zoro showed them where the apples were being painted at.
Even as they're being dragged away to look for Luffy, the two still wanted the apple.
"I thought being a liar would make you better at noticing lies, Long Nose." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
Zoro wondered where Luffy is, but soon, he noticed Ace, who's also looking got the rubber man.
"Wait, he has a tattoo of his name, but it's been misspelled." Hizashi said.
"I hope it was the tattoo artist that misspelled it." Aizawa said.
"How would anyone misspell their own name?" Toshinori raised an eyebrow.
As Ace was directed to a restaurant, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami were curious about him, but Zoro recognized that mark on his back during his pirate hunting days..
So that mark is that famous, or I guess, infamous? Izuku thought.
Before he could elaborate, Zoro was soon distracted by the fact that Tashigi is here too, and quickly hid from her.
Smoker approached her, carrying around some small fry pirates. He was looking for any word of Straw Hat in this country.
"I can still see that you're still obsessed with Luffy." Toru nervously chuckled.
"I mean, he's the reason why Smoker's in the Grand Line." Ojiro reminded her.
The other Straw Hats hid as well, seeing that Smoker has followed them from Logue Town.
Meanwhile, Luffy was still in the desert, hungry. He didn't get excited when he saw some towns in the distance, but he did when he hallucinated some food over them, running as fast as he could.
"Hopefully, it's the fight town." Iida sighed.
People from inside and outside the restaurant, "Spice Bean," were shocked because a man died in the middle of a conversation with the owner, probably from a desert strawberry.
"What?! Ace can't just die right now!" Mina frowned in disappointment.
"We barely got to know him." Tokoyami shook his head in sadness.
...Then Ace woke up.
"...Never mind then." Mina said, though a little happy since Ace's alive now.
He blinked, looking around, and when a woman approached too see if he's okay, Ace used her skirt as a towel. He realized he fell asleep.
"You were asleep?!" The audience and the people shouted at the same time.
Some students bursted out laughing while others stared in disbelief.
"I wonder if he has narcolepsy." Momo mentioned.
Ace wondered if their telling is some kind of comedic skit, but the owner reassured him that they're just worried.
...Then Ace fell asleep again.
Among the laughing students, Izuku thought, He kind of does have a similar feeling to Luf- He glanced at Todoroki. Oh my god.
People leaving the restaurant has caught Smoker's attention as Ace finished his meal. He soon asked the owner if he've seen Luffy, just in time for Smoker to see the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace.
"Oh, would you look at that. Whitebeard's here too." Hizashi said, having heard another familiar name from history.
"But that's obviously a mustache." Aizawa dryly said.
Another D? Izuku can't help but to note that.
Everyone around them was shocked to hear that. Ace was part of the Whitebeard Pirates.
When Smoker asked why someone like him is in this country, Ace claimed that he's searching for his little brother.
...
"Holy shit, that's Luffy's big brother!?" Mina suddenly shouted, bringing everyone up into an uproar.
Through the excitement, Izuku stared at Todoroki in disbelief. "Looks like you're right for the first time." He wasn't sure what he was expecting, maybe some triumph, but he wasn't expecting confusion on Todoroki's face.
"But that have different family names." Todoroki pointed out.
"Maybe 'Portgas' is his mother's maiden name." Iida guessed.
"You... can just take her name?"
"I believe so, after signing some papers."
"Huh."
As Luffy was able to find the restaurant by smell, Smoker wanted to capture Ace quietly, but since Ace refused, Smoker wanted to look for Luffy. Still, he can't look the other way, turning into smoke.
It looked like there's going to be a fight between the two until Luffy 'Gomu Gomu no Rocket'ed himself straight into Smoker and Ace, sending them flying through several buildings.
Students bursted out laughing at the scene.
"My God, he always bring chaos with him." Hizashi grinned.
After the eyecatches, Luffy happily eaten his big meal as the owner decided to warn him about the guy he sent flying, asking if he knows who he is. Of course Luffy doesn't realize it nor why there's a bunch of holes through several buildings.
Smoker and Ace arisen from the rubble with Ace apologizing to the customers.
"Hm... He's a lot more polite than I thought." Iida nodded approvingly.
The customers and the owner ran when they saw Ace approaching. He would had been angry until he saw Luffy. Sadly, so did Smoker, pushing Ace into the ground.
"No, we need that brothers' reunion!" Toru cried out.
Luffy stared at Smoker, continuously eating his food even when the man told him to stop. It took a long while, but Luffy finally realized who this marine is, sputtering out his food.
Before Smoker could fight him, Luffy shoveled all his food into his mouth and ran off with Smoker and Ace chasing after him, leaving behind a ruined restaurant.
"That poor restaurant. He didn't even paid." Momo sighed.
"Yeah, the most important part." Ojiro sarcastically said.
Luffy recognized that all he could do is run for now as Smoker called out for Tashigi, who thought he wanted a towel. When she realized she has to catch Luffy, she attempted to slice him, but the rubber man jumped to one of the buildings' roof.
Following him with his smoke powers, Smoker ordered Tashigi to gather the marines at once and search the town for the Straw Hats.
Realizing this, Tashigi figured that it must mean Zoro's here too.
"Oh god, this is going to be messy." Sero nervously smiled.
"White Snake!" Luffy tried to run away as fast as he could from Smoker's plume of smoke. Smoker demanded on why he's here, and Luffy told him that he's here to beat up Crocodil, making him wonder their connection.
"So, yeah, Crocodile's the bad guy here." Denki said.
Luffy managed to disappear, confusing Smoker when in actuality, the rubber man fell into an alleyway. The marine captain was able to notice him, chasing after right away.
Meanwhile, Sanji, Vivi, and Karoo were hiding away in the ruined house, wondering where Luffy has gone to. What's worst is when Usopp, Chopper, Zoro, and Nami approached to warn them that the marines and a strange guy are here.
Then they heard a big commotion from the marines, and Sanji figured that some idiot pirate must be running around town or something...
Then they realized it was Luffy.
"Like I said before, Luffy always bring chaos with him." Hizashi said.
Luffy noticed Zoro, running towards them, which in turn, got the marines to notice them too. Now, all the crew has to run away with their supplies as Smoker continued to chase after Luffy.
"White Blow!" Smoker extended his punch to Luffy.
"Kagero!" A stream of fire stopped the smoke, surprising everyone as Ace entered the scene, fire coming out of his body.
"Holy shit!" Everyone gaped at Ace.
"He has fire powers." Todoroki said with interest, eyes widening at the reveal.
The crew were confused on why Ace's helping them, but Luffy clearly recognized them as Ace commented on how he didn't change a bit.
Luffy couldn't believe it, including the fact that Ace ate a Devil Fruit. Ace confirmed it to be the Mera Mera no Mi.
The marines were securing the perimeter as Ace told the crew to run, he'll hold them off.
As the Straw Hats ran off, the crew asked who that guy is.
"Apparently his brother." Tsuyu said in disbelief. "I wonder why he'd never mentioned him."
"I mean, it's not like the whole crew talk about their past causally." Jiro said.
Smoker asked why Ace is helping the Straw Hats, the fire man claimed it's natural for a big brother to worry about his kid brother.
Iida can't help but to smile a bit, reminisced of his own older brother.
Though flames decorated Ace's body, Smoker told him to move aside, but of course, Ace can't do that, his whole body turning into flames.
As they continued to run, Nami asked if Ace is an acquaintance of his, but soon, Luffy happily told them that he's his brother.
"To Be Continued."
As the students talked about how cool Ace is, Todoroki can't help but to be fascinated with Ace, seeing his entire body burst into flames like that.
Hopefully, I could learn from him. Todoroki thought with a slight smile.
AN: Yes, I know that the Japanese doesn't have a specific word for 'beard' and 'mustache,' just 'facial hair.' I just want to make the obvious joke about Whitebeard not having an actual beard.
