During the battle of Nazarick against Marco

Luffy, Ussop and Chopper were now dressed in the disguises given by the League of Villains. Luffy wore a leather jacket with gray shorts and wore a blonde wig with his straw hat hanging from his back. Usopp wore a white shirt with 'pansy' and had a baseball cap on his head, while chopper was in his chibi form wearing a rainbow shirt and his usual hat.

Of course, since they were wanted, they had to keep a low profile and not be spotted by the town's heroes. Unfortunately, the word discreet was not included in the vocabulary of the trio.

Watching them, passers-by saw Usopp with a camera photographing a red light.

"Wow! This thing is able to change color to allow the machines to move forward or stop."

"Looks like a policeman." Chopper affirmed.

"Hey, Usopp! Look, it looks like Franky's motorcycle." Luffy stated, pointing to a scooter.

"So cool." Usopp shouted, taking a picture of it too.

Continuing to behave like tourists, the trio attracted the attention of passers-by, who preferred to stay away from them. However, Usopp eventually hears one of them say.

"There really are people who are not mentally stable." Said a normal-looking passer-by.

"Wow, they are so direct here." Usopp said with a confused look.

"Usopp, look. Luffy said pointing to a convenience store.

"Jackpot." Usopp said.

"Crisps, I'm going to buy all the meat flavored chips they had available." Said Luffy

"Hey Luffy, remember we have a budget here. " Said Usopp, following him.

Seeming to ignore him, Luffy ran towards the convenience store, stretching his arms out in front of him. Unfortunately, not knowing the existence of the sliding doors, the cashier of the store jumped in fear, seeing Luffy's body banging against the front door of the store. Face crushed, Luffy remained stuck against the glass. Then, two seconds later, the doors automatically opened, knocking Luffy to the ground.

"WOW, amazing." Usopp affirmed, seeing the doors move on their own. "Gotta show Franky that! Having those doors on the Sunny would be so cool."

"Huh...hello..." the cashier said, not really knowing how to react to this strange trio standing outside the convenience store doors.

" Don't come in! Don't come in! Don't come in. " She pleaded, mentally. " I don't want to deal with clients like you. "

Unfortunately, standing up, Luffy shook his head. Then, as if nothing had happened, he ran inside the convenience store.

" It's time to eat. "

" Luffy, wait for me. " Usopp begged following him, while passing in front of the cashier.

Surprised, she remained still, even when Chopper also passed in front of her. Nevertheless, turning around, the reindeer bowed to the young woman before greeting her.

. ''And good morning to you too, miss. "Said Chopper, before joining the others.

Watching him leave, the cashier couldn't help but blush.

" He's cute. "

"Chips." Luffy said looking at the chip selections.

"Contom candy." Chopper said, standing in the candy aisles.

" Hey guys check it out,they have this weird cold drink with different flavors. " Said Usopp looking at a slush machine.

"Wow, they also have rainbow flavors and candy." Chopper said with stars in his eyes.

"Is there a flavor to the meat?" Luffy asked.

"You don't mix meat and sugar." Usopp said.

"Choose a flavor, Usopp." Said Chopper.

"OK." Said the sniper, starting to look at the scents. "I'm going to choose... apple."

Then, taking a goblet and lowering a lever, he let a portion of green slush fall. Then, taking a lid and a straw, he took a sip. But, in a few moments, he froze. Then, suddenly, he grimaced, before slapping his hands on his head.

" What's wrong ?" Chopper asked, worried.

"Frozen brain." He said making a massage in his brain. "Those things cause a brain freeze the moment you drink it."

"REALLY? I WANT TO TRY IT." the other two shouted, clapping to be the next to use the machine.

And so both of them picked a flavor and drank real quick.

At this moment, the cashier saw a young girl with blond hair enter the convenience store. Seeming to be shy, she looked around, before seeing Luffy and his friends, tasting the granitas.

"Miss, can I do something for you?" The cashier asked, seeing her standing at the entrance.

"Huh…no! I can handle myself." She assured, before dashing off to a shelf in the store.

Then, now hidden, Mare took advantage of his stealth to get closer to Luffy and his friends. Since Aura had been summoned by Galadriel, he was the only one who continued to spy on the Mugiwara crew. Wanting to show that he could carry out this mission alone, he tried to capture the least word of the pirates.

"Galadriel-sama warned us that they were a potential threat to Nazarick! So they came here to plan a plan, in a place no one would suspect. "

Suddenly, his ears began to tremble, as a scream was heard throughout the store.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH" Luffy shouted, rubbing his head.

"MY HEAD" Chopper said also in pain.

Feeling like his eardrums had burst, the dark elf spotted the pair rubbing their heads, while making grimaces of pain. Yet, to his surprise, they ended up laughing.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA."

"So much fun to do."

"Huh?" Mare wondered, seeing them start drinking again.

Grinning again, the trio snickered at the pain from the slushies.

" What makes them laugh? " Mare wondered.

"Hey, let's bring some to everyone." Said Luffy.

"You bet. Let's see what everyone likes." Usopp said.

And he chose tangerine flavor for Nami, rum flavor for Zoro, cherry flavor for Sanji, cola flavor for Franky, grape flavor for Robin, lemon flavor for Brook, and mint flavor for Jinbei.

"It is done." Said Chopper.

Meanwhile, rushing towards the shelves covered with chips, Luffy moved his arms at full speed and, in a hundredth of a second, many packets of chips were gone, to end up in his baskets.

"I have everything." Luffy assured.

Then, preparing to leave, he stopped, before thinking of something.

"Hey, let's also buy iced drinks for Mist-guy and also for Hands-guy." Luffy said, referring to Tomura.

"Do you want to give him this?" Said Usopp a little confused "I can understand for Kurogiri! But this guy...Tomura...This guy is full of problems and he doesn't seem to want to become friends with us."

"It's true that he is scary." Chopper agreed.

"I know, but maybe if we try to treat him like a friend, he won't be so bad in the end." Said Luffy. "And maybe it's just his past that makes him grumpy."

"Luffy, that's a terrible idea." Usopp said. "That guy...I don't think you're capable of changing his behavior! What makes him is a shrink...and a straightjacket."

"No one trusted Robin when she joined our crew." Luffy retorted. "Everyone thought she was mean, but she saved my life."

"Well, that's different! At least Robin didn't threaten us when she asked us to come with us! Why do you think I want to approach the guy who wants to kill us all?" Usopp said in justifying himself.

Shrugging, his captain picked up two cold drinks at random, before heading for the exit.

"We're going back to see the others."

"Wait, Luffy." Chopper tried to stop him. "We have to pay for our purchases."

Seeing them heading towards the cashier, Mare came out of his hiding place, before following them. However, stopping, passing in front of the slushie dispenser, he looked at the machine, while thinking about the reactions of Luffy and the others.

" Is it that good ?"

Looking away from the front doors, he didn't see two men enter the store. Looking around, they seemed to be looking for something, while their eyes were hidden by sunglasses.

"Hello…" the cashier said. "Can I do something to help you?"

Muttering to each other, the two men nodded. Then, one of them pointed a gun at her.

"If it's asked nicely…we'd like all the money in your cach register ! And quickly."

Startled in fear, the young woman raised her hands, before approving.

"Okay, please don't hurt me."

"We're going to hurt you, if you do something funny with your Quirk." Said the second thief, spitting on the counter.

Immediately, his saliva made the wood of the furniture crackle, before creating a hole. Playfully sticking out his tongue covered in corrosive saliva, he asked.

"Unless you want to know what my tongue could produce on her pretty face?"

Jumping in fear, the young cashier began to panic, as she swore.

"Sir, I don't have a Quirk! Why do you think I work in the register? This kind of work is only given to people without power."

Hearing it, the duo laughed.

"HAHAHA! A woman without power? I pity you, poor loser."

"It's so rare these days! I would be so ashamed that I would rather die."

Then, the man with the revolver pointed his weapon more towards the young woman before ordering.

"Give us..."

"I pay for this."

Pushing the man with the gun, Luffy put all of his purchases on the counter, while he didn't seem to understand what was happening.

"What...?" the duo wondered, seeing him scatter his packets of chips in front of him. "HEY, BRAT! Who do you think you are?"

"Huh?" Luffy wondered, looking at them. "You have no purchases and I have all that! I have the right to pass before you."

"That's not the point." The two men retorted.

Opening and closing his eyelids several times, Luffy pointed at them, while asking his friends.

"Are they stupid?"

"Luffy…I think they're thieves." Usopp stated, heaving a sigh.

"Oh? So they are criminals of this world?" Chopper asked. "Hey, can I take a picture with you?"

Seeing the trio remain perfectly calm, the man with the acid saliva began to roar.

"You really don't understand the situation? Okay, we'll make you feel like humiliating us."

Suddenly placing his hand on Luffy's head and crushing his hat under his fingers, he declared.

"You, in view of your purchases, I'm sure you have a lot of money on you! Give it to me, if you don't want me to hurt you."

"Huh... You better not touch his hat." Usopp asserted.

" Huh ? "

Suddenly, Luffy's fist hit his chin and the man's body took off until it hit the ceiling. Flabbergasted, his accomplice saw his friend's head and shoulders stuck in the ceiling, while the rest of his body remained motionless. Luffy defeated and knocked him out with a single punch.

Having finished filling a cup with slushies, Mare watched the scene, while the cashier stepped back. Dusting off his hat, while glaring angrily, Luffy turned to the second thief, before roaring.

"No one touches my hat."

Seeing him take a step towards him, the thief cried out in fear, before firing his weapon. Immediately, the cashier screamed, as the projectile slammed into Luffy. yet, standing still, Luffy simply felt the bullet attempt to pierce him, as it continued on its way, stretching his skin.

"Is he made of rubber?" Mare wondered, seeing Luffy's stretching skin come up to him.

Then, a second later, the projectile turned around and Luffy sent it in the direction of the thief. Frozen in terror, the man saw his own projectile graze his head, before crashing into the wall behind him. Still motionless, he felt a trickle of blood flow from his cheek, while the projectile had made a small cut.

"Bullets don't work on me, I'm made of rubber." Luffy said, putting his hat back on his head.

Then, cracking his knuckles, he declared.

"But if you want to show me your Quirk, I'll take up your challenge."

However, he saw the man fall backwards, while the fear had been enough to knock him unconscious.

"Huh?" Luffy wondered.

"HAHAHAHA!" Giggles Usopp. "As if they had any chance of defeating Usopp's gang! HAHAHAHA!"

For his part, seeing the cashier fall to her knees, out of fear, Chopper climbed onto the counter, before asking her.

"Ma'am, how are you?"

"Please don't hurt me." Said the frightened cashier.

"We're not mean, we are nice people." Said Chopper.

Trying to control her fear, and get to her feet, the cashier looked at the trio in front of her, before glancing at the hanging body of the thief who still had his head stuck in the ceiling, and the one who was lying on the floor.

"Are you heroes?" she asked.

"No." Said Luffy.

"But, then, why did you help me? Only heroes have the right to act in such cases."

"Letting yourself get hurt or humiliated, and not doing anything that's not something I would pass up. Just waiting for a hero won't be the answer to everything, there are times when you have to beat too." Luffy said very seriously. "Truly, I don't understand why you rely so much on heroes to protect you."

"But the law said…" the cashier said only to be interrupted by Luffy.

"What is most important? Your life or follow stupid rules given by heroes?"

Astonished, this made the woman pause for a second and bow in the greatest respect.

"Thank you, thank you very much." she said, in tears. "I was so scared."

"You're welcome." The trio said.

Then, Luffy pointed to his purchases.

"How much do I have to pay?"

"Huh...take it all! It's free! It's my way of saying thank you."

"Thank you, you are a nice woman." Luffy said, carrying at least twenty bags of meat flavored crisps.

Then he left with his purchases, followed by Chopper. Nevertheless, the reindeer stopped, seeing Usopp hanging back, while he just stared at the two thieves.

" Usopp ? "

"Huh...yeah, I'm coming." The sniper asserted, joining him.

"Do you have a problem?" Chopper questioned, seeing him put on a strange concerned face.

"It's nothing! It's just that…I really feel like powerless guys are seen here as worthless."

Seeing them leave, the cashier heaved a sigh, before sitting down on a chair. Nevertheless, hearing footsteps, she saw Mare walk past her counter. With his glass in his hand, he rummaged in his pockets, before putting coins on the counter.

"Keep the change." He said, before leaving.

Barely having time to see him, the cashier lowered her gaze and grabbed one of the coins. Still frozen, she noticed that it was a real gold coin. For a glass of granita, this strange girl had just given her a real fortune.

Putting the coin on the counter, the cashier finally said.

"I think I'll take my break."

"I don't think Sanji would like us to eat only junk food! He always talks about getting a good diet for everyone." Usopp said.

"Whatever! Even if I eat chips, I'll still have room to eat Sanji's food." Luffy assured, his mouth full.

Then, looking around, he asked.

"Hey, guys! How about we keep sightseeing?"

"I like the idea!" Chopper agreed. "We only live in the shadows! I want to stretch my legs."

Then, he looked at a map of the city which indicated the main parts and also all the hero agencies.

"This town is definitely full of hero agencies." Usopp said. "Is it a good idea to move around the city?"

"Guys, look at this." Luffy said, pointing to the beach on the map. " Let's go. "

"A beach?" Wondered the duo. "Don't you want to go somewhere we've never seen? The beach, we see it all the time, in our world."

Ignoring them, Luffy started to run, and the others were forced to follow him, while shouting that he was in the wrong direction.

Still behind them, Mare followed them at a distance. Nevertheless, lowering his eyes to look at his goblet, he finally took a sip of strawberry granita. And, in an instant, he stopped, before putting his hands on his head.

" MY BRAIN !"

NAZARICK

Being in her office, Galadriel was writing. Finally, dropping the feather she was holding, she finally let out a huge sigh.

" Finally ... "

Looking at the actual manuscript she had just written, she wrote down all of Orochi's memories. Then, tilting her chair back and placing her arms behind her head, she began to look at the ceiling, while remaining motionless. Finally, she whispered.

"Yonko? Navy? Vegapunk? Kaido? Onigashima? One piece?"

Then, a smile appeared on her face.

"This pirate world is full of assholes...and yet, I would have given anything to live there, rather than be born into my world."

Nevertheless, Orochi's memories were completely insignificant. This moron never left his island. And due to Wano Kuni being isolated from the rest of the world, he only knew a few details about the rest of the world he lived in. And all these mysteries that this strange world had...isl intrigued Galadriel.

"Finally... mysteries ... adventure ... action ... real adversaries..."

Galadriel finally had it. She finally had the life she had always dreamed of. At first, becoming the Empress of Nazarick had completely stunned her, compared to her former life as a slave to work where only resignation and anger were her companions.

But, after getting her bearings, she was easily bored. What she liked about Yggdrasil's game was to show her power, defeating powerful opponents. She wanted to find the most powerful groups and defeat them in front of everyone. She didn't want to win against pathetic opponents, whom she couldn't take as a challenge.

She wanted a real opponent. A real fight. And a real victory. And all of that she could have.

"Three different worlds! Three stories! Three different governments! But one throne to rule them all."

Extending her smile, Galadriel had understood, the most powerful warriors of these three different worlds were gathered here and an unprecedented battle was going to take place very soon. Could her be the triggering factor? Will a pirate be responsible for the start of this war? Or a hero? No one could know. Not even Galadriel.

Nevertheless, what she knew was that there would be only one victor who could rule this world. And if this winner could figure out how to travel to get from one world to another, in this case, he would have every chance of controlling three different worlds.

"Hahahaha! Having a potential chance to become Empress of three different worlds...who would have thought?"

" You are nothing and you will never be anything. "

Immediately, ceasing to smile, Galadriel groaned, as her father's voice echoed in her head, as the man held a bottle of liquor in his hand. Veins of rage appeared on her forehead, as she clenched her fist.

"Father...despite everything you've done to me, since I've been here, I dream of finding a way to resurrect you! Yes, I want you to see with your eyes, what your daughter has managed to create ! I want to see you admire the power of Nazarick! And above all, I want to bow you down before me and implore my clemency! And only then can I let go of this past that you have made ignoble because of your presence."

Recovering her smile, she grabbed another parchment, before starting to write down new ideas.

"I need to learn more about this strange world! The personality of these pirates...their ability...understand how to exploit their weak spot...know who I can ally with! There's so much to take into account. "

Then, displaying a confident smile, she declared.

"From now on, the real challenge begins and nothing can stop me on my way! Nothing at all. "

At that moment, someone knocked on his door.

"My Lady?" Called her a Homunculus. "The meal is ready! And for tonight, the cook has made your favorite dessert."

And, in an instant, the quill Galadriel was holding was set on her desk, as she rushed to the dining room. Forgetting her plans for conquest or revenge, she displayed a simple childish smile, while shouting.

" CHEESECAKE ! "
