Whistling happily, Usopp bought several snacks for the day tomorrow.
"From what I could hear, the students are excited! I can understand them! I too would have liked with powers and to be able to show my power at heroes ! They'll even be on TV ! They're very lucky."
Finally, the young man went to the cashier of the convenience store.
"Thank you for your purchases." She said, trying to put on a beaming smile.
Nevertheless, Usopp found that she seemed much less cheerful than when Luffy was there. As proof, she had displayed a wide smile when she saw Usopp enter the convenience store, but her smile had half diminished when she noticed that Luffy was not with him.
" Did she become his fan because he saved her? " The boy wondered, watching her tally up his purchases.
" 8976 yens, please. "
Reaching into his trouser pockets, Usopp wanted to pull out his new credit card. Nevertheless, he then rummaged through the pockets of his jacket. Immediately, the cashier saw him freeze, while seeming surprised.
" A problem ? "
"Huh...no...just a second..." Usopp said, fumbling through his clothes.
"Where did that damn credit card go?" he wondered, removing his jacket and shaking it.
"Excuse me, is that what you're looking for?"
Turning around, Usopp saw a young woman with short blonde hair facing him, smiling at him. Immediately, Usopp found himself shocked.
Beautiful. It was the only word the boy could think of, seeing the face of the young woman in front of him.
Seeing him remain petrified, the newcomer shook her hand in front of his face.
" Hello ? "
Then she showed him the credit card she was holding in her hand.
"I found this! Is this yours?"
Eventually coming out of his torpor, Usopp ends up grabbing the card before screaming.
"Did you find it? Thank you very much."
"No worries." The blonde assured, widening her smile. "It makes me happy to know that I was able to help you. Nevertheless, be a little more vigilant next time."
Seeing her like this, Usopp couldn't help but smile a bit stupidly, scratching the back of his head.
"I...I'll be careful."
"Then, looking for something to say, he finally declares.
"I... My name is Usopp! Nice to meet you."
"Me too! My name is Foire."
" Please ! "
"Albedo, don't look at me with those eyes."
"Please." Insist the succubus.
Being both naked and lying in Galadriel's bed, Albedo had heard about tomorrow's program and, strangely, Galadriel had seen her position herself on top of her and implore her to let her come to UA to be able to see her.
"I don't understand you! I thought you hated human events;"
"It's not them I want to see! I just want to see you humiliate them."
Hearing this, Galadriel sighed. In fact, if someone like Mare had asked her the same request, she would have agreed. However, the problem with Albedo was that Galadriel was afraid the succubus would cause carnage if she heard someone insult the Empress sometime tomorrow.
"Please…?" Albedo insisted, with puppy-like eyes.
Galadriel heaved a second sigh.
"It's okay! But...please...please...please...be discreet."
"No worries!" Albedo assured her, with a broad smile. "No one will notice my presence."
"Weirdly, I have a bad feeling."
Then, seeing her beloved's face turn pensive, Galadriel questioned her.
"Do you have anything else to ask me?"
"Huh...no...just...were you really serious when you said you wanted to reunite the 41 Supreme Beings?"
"Huh?" Galadriel wondered, seeing her more scared than happy. "What do you mean? Don't you want to see Tabula again?"
"Of course I do! But...I'm scared."
" What ? "
"Galadriel-sama, I...I had already questioned the other guardians about the possibility of a reappearance of the other supreme beings and each of them retained their loyalty to their creator! Which means they will obey every one of their orders."
" So what ? "
"It means that...if their creators ever ask for it, they will fight you! And I don't want to."
Starting to cry, she declares.
"I love you so much! But I'm afraid...I'm afraid that if Tabula-sama asks me...I'm afraid I'll have to kill you! I don't want to! I don't want to hurt you."
Seeing her start to sob, Galadriel couldn't help but look surprised on her face. Then, finally, a third sigh left her mouth, as she asked.
"Albedo...why do you want the other supreme beings to decide to attack me?"
"Because...after they left, you officially became Empress of Nazarick! And if they return and refuse your authority, they may decide to..."
"There won't be that problem." Galadriel assured. "Simply because their return will herald the end of my title as Empress."
"WHAT? But why? You are... You are..."
"Albedo...look around you! Do you think Nazarick's Tomb is perfect?"
" Of course. "
"Do you know why? Because I built it...just like forty other people! When all the supreme beings were present, there was no real leader!
And yet, Ainz Oal Gown managed to prove its supremacy. When they're back in Nazarick again, I don't want to have more power than them or command them."
Looking at her bedroom ceiling, she declared.
"Of course, I could very well try to control the Multiverse and become the empress of the universe but... I couldn't! I need them! I need their opinion! The empire that I want to create... for it to be perfect, I need them and their opinion."
Then, seeing Albedo staring at her, while looking undecided, Galadriel placed her hand on her head, while thanking her.
"Thank you for worrying about me! But don't worry! I'm a big girl."
Claiming her sobs, Albedo ended up nodding her head. Then, before Galadriel could react, she began to kiss her passionately, as if there would be no tomorrow.
"I thought I was stupid."
Sitting on the floor of his room, Demiurge stared at the fire in the fireplace that was in the room. Then, looking up, he looked at a statuette showing a man with six arms and a goat's head.
It was Armageddon Evil, a magic item created by Ulbert, the creator of Demiurge.
"Ulbert-sama...I thought myself stupid to hope for your return! Even knowing that I had disappointed you, I...I...stupidly, I still desired to be able to serve you and hope to make you proud of me. "
Looking at the statuette, he ends up prostrating himself before it, before declaring.
"What Galadriel-sama said was true, wasn't it? You are waging a war in your world and... you are waiting for our arrival! Is that why Galadriel-sama stayed here? Did she stay to help Nazarick be able to join you and allow us to help you defeat your enemy?"
Resting his forehead on the ground, he screamed.
"I understand...now I understand your plan...and I know what you want from me! To be able to join you! Yet... Yet, I am ashamed..."
Gritting his teeth and starting to feel tears of rage welling up in his eyes, he confessed.
"I thought you had abandoned us! I thought Nazarick no longer meant anything to you! Ulbert-sama, I want to die for having dared to believe in such nonsense! And from now on, I'm telling you promise never to doubt you again! So please... hold on and wait for our arrival! And together we will defeat the enemy and Nazarick can rule the Universe."
While there were only a few hours left before the sports festival, some students were still training, in order to be ready. Since the USJ incident, many had trained day and night to surpass themselves.
The sports festival was the chance to prove to everyone who they are. It is not strange that many of them seem to think only of this. Trying to get better and stronger... that was their goal. But of all the students in the class, there are three who seem to take things more differently than the others.
Bakugo pushed himself to the limit. Ever since the villains attacked, he had come to realize that he is not as strong as he wanted. For starters, Deku has become more than just a rock in his path, due to the sudden appearance of his Quirk. He therefore had to work harder to continue to prove that he is stronger than him. But in the end, Bakugo realizes that not only has Deku become a problem, but two other rivals have appeared.
The half-burnt-faced boy and that white-haired girl are on his list of potential rivals. Especially this girl, whom Bakugo considers the strongest competition he has. Bakugo clenched his fist in anger. Because he feels that, even though he practices repeatedly. He can't feel that he has become stronger than her. This girl's Quirk is powerful and he will admit he is terrified of her. And that makes him even angrier. But, he will beat her, no matter what he has to do.
"I'll be the number one hero!" Bakugo hissed.
The same line of thinking continues with Todoroki, but for a different reason. After what he saw at USJ, he knew the white-haired girl was the one to beat. She is powerful, and a natural fighter. Todoroki thought about his "beloved" father's reaction when this incident happened. And how this girl had bravely faced the bad guys and the power she wielded.
She was something difficult to understand, and her calm demeanor makes him wonder how strong she is. But what worries her is that her father seems to be planning something. Flame hero Endeavor tries to contact the Nazarick family. And Todoroki didn't like it at all.
Endeavor wants to create the strongest hero ever. And that's something he tried to do with Todoroki and his siblings. Regardless of what his father plans, Todoroki will show him that he can be the strongest hero without using his other hand.
"I'm going to win," Todoroki muttered, looking up at the dark sky.
He will beat everyone at the sports festival, and no one will stop him.
In another place, a boy with green hair looks at the notes in front of him. Read and think long and hard about what he can do to become stronger.
Midoriya's training regimen is not limited to preparing his body for the punishment that uses his Quirk. But to learn to control it. Midoriya sighs, staring at the walls of his room, his mind lost in thoughts of what to do. He wanted to get stronger and avoid seeing anyone suffer or fight alone. Memories of USJ are still fresh in his mind.
Watch the white-haired girl fight to save Aizawa, fight villains without fear, and protect Midoriya by risking her life for him. She's powerful, smart, and had that natural skill to lead. Midoriya is jealous of her, if only a little. The rest is admiring.
Midoriya feels she is a huge wall that he must overcome to be what he dreams of being. It's going to be hard, and that's something he has to admit, no matter what he thinks of her. But, at the same time, Galadriel is perhaps the sweetest girl and the purest person he has ever met. Or so thinks Midoriya.
"I had to win," Midoriya said. "I need to introduce myself to the world, to everyone!" Midoriya whispered.
To reassure himself, he watches the video of All Might, and hears the words that have become a symbol for him.
" Don't worry, it's fine. Why? Because I'm here! "
These words are a mantra for Midoriya.
'I have to be stronger… To become number one, I have to become like All Might
The day of the event
There is a sense of excitement around the school as the sports festival is about to begin. Reports are everywhere. Try to get an overview of students and teachers. Food and everything else draws attention to the school's biggest event. People from all over Japan, and even the world. Will watched this event from home, watching the next generation of heroes rise to the top.
Everyone is excited about what's to come, but those about to compete seem both nervous and excited about it.
"Damn, I really wanted to wear my costume," Ashido said in a whiny voice.
"They're banned, something about the playground," Mashirao said.
"This year is going to be crazy." Kirishima said.
The students of Class 1-A are in the waiting room, nervously looking around and trying to think of something else. But...not everyone. Bakugo and Todoroki look at the white-haired girl who seems to be concentrating on the book in her hands. Midoriya saw the tranquility on her face and notices her reading.
" The Wheel of Time . She likes to read novels, " Midoriya thought. " Honestly, I'm jealous! I wish I could be as calm as her. "
"Everyone! Are you ready to compete?! We're ready to go in no time!" shouted Tenya.
With that, everyone braced themselves and Todoroki, not wanting to waste time, decided to act. And he walked over to the white-haired girl, who seems to be concentrating on her book rather than paying attention to everything going on around her.
"Miss Nazarick," Todoroki said, making everyone look at him and what was going on.
Bakugo narrowed his eyes. And Midoriya seems interested to see what Todoroki will do. However, seeing Galadriel remain motionless, Ashido tapped her shoulder, which allowed her friend to come back to reality. But she looked annoyed that someone had interrupted her reading time.
She hasn't had much time to read one of her favorite novels in recent days. Because Albedo wanted to go on a date. And Lupusregina wanted to follow. Not that she didn't have a good time...in fact, she enjoyed it very much. But she wanted to read some of her favorite books. Amid endless work and planning, she had little time for herself.
She enjoys the company of the Guardians and everyone in Nazarick. But sometimes she wanted to have time just for herself. Especially to vent and practice his dramatic poses. But there are days when Galadriel is so stressed, a good meal, or a few hours of play alone. Help her deal with all of this. Galadriel will still never trade Nazarick for anything in the world.
Then she saw this kid's face and noticed how serious he looked. Wondering what it was, she put down her book and asked him what he wanted.
"Todoroki-kun, what is it? Do you need something ? " Galadriel asked, looking at the boy with the half-burned face.
Todoroki only looked at the girl for a few seconds, without saying anything.
"You are the strongest among us," Todoroki said.
Everyone looks at him, trying to figure out what he's trying to say.
"Objectively. I think you're above everyone else in this school. Even among the pro-heroes your name is growing with each passing day, that's why I have to say this…I'm going to beat you," Said Todoroki.
"Oh?! What's that? A declaration of war from one of the strongest in the class?!" Denki said, looking excited.
"What's this belligerence all of a sudden? Don't throw that at him before the festival." Bakugo roared, hating to be ignored.
However, he fell silent as he saw Galadriel etr get up and look at the 20 people around her.
"I'm the strongest in the school, and if you want to be the number one hero... You have to defeat me," Galadriel said. "Everyone here is trying to achieve their dreams. Become a strong hero and reach the top of the industry. But… If you want to be the strongest and reach the top spot. The only way to do that is to defeat me… And right now… None of you are capable of that."
Bakugo, Midoriya and Todoroki just looked at her. Bakugo saw the biggest stone on his way in front of him, the biggest challenge of his life. The only one he truly believes in is above him. No matter how much he hated to admit it. Todoroki looked at the girl. Knowing that she's telling the truth, and that there's only one way for him to show his father what he's capable of. And that's by beating her. Midoriya looks at her with admiration, but part of him knows it. If he wants to be All Might's successor and make him proud. He has to show it to her.
"Come on guys, don't be so negative!" Kirishima said looking at them nervously.
"So… Get ready," Todoroki said only, stepping away from her.
Galadriel only nodded, thinking that today would be more interesting than she thought.
The stadium is shaking with the excitement of people looking forward to this day. Among the heroes seated in the stands, a group of pirates, who were to provide security, were simply seated, while having food and drink around them.
"What do you think we'll see?" Brook asked.
"Surely fights." Franky affirmed. "It's the perfect time to find out what the level of these little guys is."
For his part, lying down, Zoro yawned, before starting to sleep.
"Wake me up when it starts."
"How can he sleep with all that noise?" Usopp asked.
Then, displaying a smile, the boy looked at a small piece of paper he was holding in his hand, and read the phone number that was written on it.
"Huh?" Sanji wondered, seeing the paper. " What is that ? "
"Nothing." Usopp lied, hurrying to put the paper in his pocket.
Nevertheless, seeming to understand what it was, Sanji tried to take his paper.
"Show me that! No, it can't be what I'm thinking."
"Step back, asshole."
"Show me that paper." Sanji ordered.
" SHUT UP ! " Shouted Nami.
"No matter what we see, I have a feeling we're going to have fun." Luffy asserted, already eating several hot dogs. "It's just a shame that we can't participate in it."
"The UA Sports Festival is about to begin!" Present Mic shouted passionately. "Aim for each other's throats and peaks! Our annual big scrum!" .
"And here they are, the ones you came to see! The golden eggs of this generation! The freshly formed miraculous stars who shrugged off a massive onslaught of villains with wills of steel! The department of heroism, class 1-A! " Present Mic shouted, driving the audience wild.
At this moment, the students entered the big stadium. And among them, Luffy spotted Izuku, who looked incredibly nervous.
" Izuku seems to be scared. " Chopper remarked.
Simply lighting a cigarette, Sanji affirmed.
"The stage fright... he has to learn to relax! In a fight, being afraid is the sign of defeat."
Hearing the audience shout to encourage the students, Luffy, Franky and Chopper shouted in turn.
" GO ! GO ! GOOOOOOO !"
"Wow, they are really praising us! I'm getting nervous now! What about you, Bakugo?" Kirishima said, looking at the people around.
"No way am I nervous! You're just nervous, wimp," Bakugo said with a smirk.
"Gali, that's so amazing, aren't you nervous?" Ashido asked,
Galadriel only smiled.
"No, actually, I try to ignore the crowd to keep it up," Galadriel said, not admitting that she likes being praised.
Seeing the other classes arriving alongside A, Galadriel passed the time by looking at the female students. None could compete with the women of Nazarick, however, and unfortunately, Galadriel thought of Albedo's sexy body and painfully tried to erase it from her mind in order to concentrate.
But, to make matters worse, a beautiful woman came on stage and faced the students.
"Now, fair play everyone. " Cried Midnight, the sexy hero.
Some people and students start whispering about her +18 outfit. to tell the truth, the cry of a blond man was suddenly heard, followed by the sound of a punch on his skull.
"Now please, to open this festival with a speech. Miss Nazarick, please come!"
"Huh?" The young girl wondered.
Everyone looks admiringly at the girl and some begin to whisper.
"She broke the UA record with 159 points!"
" I do not believe it. " Said another student.
"She was also the one who defeated a group of villains on her own. She is surely the most powerful student in all of UA."
The whispers grew louder and Galadriel sighed.
" That's why I don't like being popular. Why didn't the pirates want this popularity?"
"Miss Nazarick, you who got the top spot in registration, you are the student who was selected to deliver the keynote address! Now please, Miss Nazarick, say something to start the sports festival," Midnight said.
" Say something? I don't know what to say... Mm, what should I do? " Galadriel thought for a second until she followed the inspirational path.
Seeing the crowd around her, Galadriel couldn't help but feel the panic arise along with the memories of old times.
" If I had known, I would have asked Pandora's Actor to fill in for me for this moment. "
For his part, knowing that hearing a speech didn't interest him, Luffy took advantage of this moment to get up and leave his place.
"I'm coming back, I have to go to the bathroom."
"Hey, wait for me." Usopp shouted, following him. "If you go alone, you will get lost."
"Come back quickly." Brook shouted, seeing them leave.
At that moment, Galadriel finally begins her speech.
"Good day everyone, my name is Galadriel Nazarick and I am honored to open this event with the same quotes that… my father told me when I was a child. Every hero story of every noble hero starts with a small act of compassion and love. I want everyone to know this. You don't have to be a powerful Quirk user to be a great hero. Anyone can be a hero , the mother who works two full-time jobs to feed her children. The father who takes the time to visit his child plays at school, the simple act of helping an elderly person cross the street. All these little things are enough to be a hero, every act no matter how small never give up and reach for the be the hero you've always been." Galadriel said.
And for a few minutes the stadium was silent until it burst into cheers. Even the students got chills hearing this. Galadriel felt a little embarrassed. She didn't want to accept it, but she thanked those notes she had in her book.
"Well done, well done!" Tenya said, ready to cry.
"Wow, Gali, that was… Incredible! Ashido said.
"Wonderful," Tokoyami said.
"So manly!" Kirishima said.
Even the pirates began to applaud her.
"She speaks well, for a young girl." Franky assured.
"She has the same demeanor as a real commander." Jinbe affirmed, nodding his head.
"Miss Nazarick..." Robin said thoughtfully. "She's an interesting person! Still, I'm having a hard time putting together a lot of information about her family."
Hearing the applause, Galadriel just nodded, trying not to flinch. But she was proud of her brief speech. She finds it difficult to practice things like that. She can only hope it won't be a problem. She didn't notice that Midoriya was looking at her with admiration. And increasing his determination to prove to her what he is capable of. The rest of the students felt the same, and with that.
Instead of looking at them, Galadriel glanced around the bleachers as she tried to catch a glimpse of Albedo. So far, no murders had taken place, which was good news...for now.
Finally, she saw many people looking in the same direction. Arriving in the stadium, a beautiful woman with golden hair, blue eyes, and porcelain skin arrived. Dressed in a white outfit, she protected herself from the sun with a large hat.
Staring at her, Galadriel was sure she had never met anyone with a physique like her. Yet she knew perfectly well who she was. Having removed her horns and her wings, and having modified her body somewhat, Albedo had copied the physique of a magnificent Hollywood star, in order to camouflage herself among the public.
Unfortunately, her beauty was so impressive that even women began to blush when they looked at her. Immediately, seeing her too, Sanji's eyes turned to hearts, as he performed his love dance to rush towards her.
" MELLORINE ! "
Nevertheless, he suddenly got belted by Jinbe and Franky.
"Hey, calm down."
"MELLROINE! MELLORINE! MELLORINE!" Sanji cried, feeling blood dripping from his nose.
Suddenly, a needle stuck in his back and a tranquilizer made him stop moving.
"Good thing I brought this." Chopper asserted, with a syringe in his hand.
Seeing the scene, as Albedo caught the attention of others, Galadriel ran her hand over her face.
"I said discreet."
However, another unpleasant surprise happened, as she saw a strange man following Albedo, before sitting down next to her. Dressed in a pair of glasses and a white coat, the man looked like a relative of chemistry, while his unkempt black hair, his hooked nose and his squinted eyes, gave him a rather frightening aspect. Likewise, while stars seemed to shine around Albedo, a strange black aura surrounded the man, eventually forcing everyone to look away.
Galadriel had never met this man. And yet, she recognized him too.
"What is Demiurge doing here?"
Feeling a huge fatigue win her, Galadriel suddenly decided the group to go to the locker room.
"Gali?" Ashido wondered.
"I'll be right back." Galadirel assured.
" It is imperative that I cast spells on myself in order to calm my stress! Otherwise, I will suffer from an ulcer before the end of the day ."
Being in the halls of the arena, Luffy couldn't help but compare them to those of the Coliseum of Dressrosa.
"Hey, Luffy!" Usopp shouted. "Do you really know where the entrance to the bleachers is?"
"Huh, not really."
Grinning, Usopp wondered.
"Why did I have the bad idea to trust you and let you find our way back?"
At that moment, a strange gust of wind appeared in the hallway and swept across Luffy's face. Surprised the boy felt his hat leave his head and go to the other end of the corridor.
"Hey! My hat." Luffy shouted, chasing after it.
Running at full speed, Luffy saw it reach the end of the corridor, before disappearing into the turning sun. Imitating it, Luffy ran so fast that he was unable to stop before crashing into someone. Losing his balance, Luffy fell backwards, while the person in front of him didn't move a bit.
"Luffy?" Usopp wondered.
"Young man..." Said a rather harsh voice. "I advise you not to run carelessly around you! You could hurt someone."
Then, raising his hand, he delicately grabbed Luffy's hat, before handing it to its owner.
"I guess this belongs to you."
"My hat." Luffy gloated, immediately putting it back on his head.
Then, getting back up, he stared at the man in front of him, before smiling at him.
" Thanks. "
Remaining silent, just like the blonde woman behind him, Sebas just stared at Luffy with a stoic face. In truth, despite looking like an old man, something about him somewhat scared Usopp, who felt like he could attack them in an instant.
Still, the duo were surprised when Sebas retorted.
"No, I'm the one thanking you, Monkey D. Luffy."
"Huh?" Luffy wondered. " Do you know me? "
"Of course! I had a hard time knowing your first name, but finally I'm happy to be able to meet you."
"Why ? "
"My name is Sebas! Sebas Nazarick! I am Galadriel's father."
"Gala...Galadri ... ?" Luffy repeated, not knowing at all who she was.
"The girl with the white hair." Usopp whispered to him.
" Ah. " Shouted Luffy. " Jelly-girl. "
Immediately, a cracking sound was heard, as the pair felt murderous urges. Startled, Luffy and Usopp looked behind Sebas, to look at Solution, who had remained motionless.
"Huh...there was a cracking sound, wasn't there?"
"Huh?" Solution asked, still smiling. " No way. "
"Jelly-san?" Sebas repeated.
"Yeah, because..."
Nonetheless, Usopp's hands clapped over his mouth as he took over.
"It's nothing at all! It's not an insult against your daughter! I swear to you.."
Then, he pulled Luffy back, while declaring.
"We accept your thanks! We just ask that you don't tell anyone! We don't like popularity! Okay? Ciao."
Then, the duo fled to the other end of the corridor. And no sooner had they disappeared than a sword, shattered into pieces, left Solution's body, while a simple muscular contraction had broken it.
"THESE HUMANS …" she roared, showing genuine hatred on her face. "How dare they insult Galadriel-sama? They deserve to be tortured until they beg to be killed."
"Calm down, Solution." Sebas advised her. "I, too, am unhappy to know that this boy doesn't give due respect to our empress! But if we fight him now, the rest of their friends will come and who knows if we will be able to face them?"
"Tsss! Anyway, Mare-san was right." Solution assured. "Mugiwara doesn't seem to be the captain! I've never seen a leader being dragged down by a subordinate without reacting."
Simply running his hand over his beard, Sebas remained silent.
" It's not my fault! It was Demiurge who wanted to come with me. "
Being alone in the locker room, Galadriel immediately cast a spell to speak with Albedo.
"Why did he want to come with you?"
" He wanted to study the heroes who came to see the high school students! He thinks their reactions will be the best way to find out which ones could be easily indoctrinated into our army. "
Again, Galadriel heaved a weary sigh.
" Definitely, I understand how a teacher must feel when he has to manage a school trip, with a class containing only unpredictable students. "
"Albedo...just swear to me not to cause any massacre, even if you hear someone insult me."
" Can we kill him later? "
"Huh… we'll see about that detail later! Also, I asked you to be discreet."
" Yeah! I was discreet. "
" Yes! As discreet as Cocytus could have been, coming here without changing his appearance. "
Finally, she stopped the conversation.
" Weirdly, I knew this was coming. "
Then, knowing that she had to join the others quickly, she left the locker room. But, at that moment, she saw Luffy and Usopp in front of her.
" That ... ? Mugiwara ? "
" Jelly-girl ? "
"Saved." Usopp rejoiced. "Hey, do you know how to get to the bleachers? We're lost! This place is a real maze."
" Hey, the exit is there. " Luffy stated suddenly, seeing an exit, at the other end of the corridor. "
"Huh…no." Galadriel retorted. "It's the entrance for high school students! It's forbidden to the public."
Hearing this, Luffy growled.
"I wanted to take part in this festival too."
"Don't be a kid, Luffy." Usopp said, pulling him back. "Anyway, if the heroes see an adult among the kids, I doubt they'll let him compete."
Hearing this, Galadriel remained still. Leaving, the two boys tried to find the entrance to the bleachers, when they heard.
"Do you want to participate in the festival?"
"Huh?" the duo wondered, turning around.
Looking around, Nami looked concerned.
"Where did those fools go?"
" Luffy must have gotten lost. " Affirmed Franky.
"It was predictable." Jinbe assured.
"The festival is about to begin." Chopper assured, seeing Galadriel join the others. "They will miss the start of the first test."
"I'll try to find them and guide them to us." Robin said, crossing her arms.
At that moment, hearing the people around them talking loudly, Zoro opened his eyes, before asking.
" It begins ? "
Then, he was the first to see two other high school students arrive in the arena. Looking at them, with his tired eyes, Zoro rubbed them. Then he stared again at the two high school students. Finally, he asked.
"Do I have eyesight problems?"
Remaining silent, his friends seemed frozen, while they had also seen the two high school students.
" It's impossible ! "
"How did they do that?"
Finally, exhaling for a long time, while feeling veins of anger appear on her forehead, Nami declared.
" I will kill them. "
The pirates had no trouble recognizing the boy wearing a straw hat on his head, just like the boy with the long nose. However, the two of them, dressed in UA sports uniforms, looked like two fifteen-year-olds, while they were barely taller than Midoriya or Bakugo.
Displaying an amused look, Galadriel saw them walking towards the high school students, while her illusion spell had worked perfectly. The two boys looked like real high school students.
Yet despite this, Usopp was afraid of being recognized and cautiously walked behind Luffy.
"Luffy...we shouldn't be here."
Suddenly, flashing a broad smile, Luffy rushed towards the center of the field, before jumping and landing between the high school students, who jumped in surprise. Then, he raised his arms in the air, before inhaling a lot of air, to shout.
" IT'S ME WHO WILL WIN ! "
