"Mugiwara, you should know that my family is anything but ordinary." Galadriel affirmed. "It has a centuries-old history! Our history has some good things...but also some very dark sides."

Despite Galadriel's words, Luffy continued to stare at Sebas, with a look that showed he didn't trust him.

"During a period in history, when our family had always known an unequaled posterity, our family experienced internal discord! While one part of my family was satisfied with their situation and their life, the other party wanted more power! They wanted more power in order to control the world! And for that, they turned to dark magic! And that's how they came to know Darkness."

Hearing that name, Luffy turned to Galadriel.

" Darkness ? "

"Yes! This demon can be considered a demonic summoning done by my ancestors! However, when they wanted to use her to take over the world, it was Darkness who managed to turn them into slaves."

Staring at Luffy, she affirmed.

"I'm sure you know very little about the history of this world, but know that the reign of Darkness over this world was a very dark time, which was known only by massacres."

Of course, it was all a lie. However, it was easy for Galadriel to know that Luffy was never going to question her word. Truth be told, Galadriel was certain that the hacker wasn't even going to do the slightest research in a book or on the internet to find out if this was true or not. Handling it was easy.

"Nevertheless, knowing that our family was the cause of this, my ancestors who had been against her summoning united their power in the face of Darkness and managed to seal her power to render her powerless! After that, everyone considered her dead."

"Huh?" Luffy said, tilting his head to the side. "Then why did I see her? Besides that, she was very powerful."

"After sealing Darkness, our ancestors then exterminated the traitors of our family." Sebas told him. "Nevertheless, a few had managed to survive and flee! And after centuries of hiding in the shadows, while still harboring enormous hatred within them, these people found the way to find Darkness and restore her powers."

Clenching his fist, Sebas declared.

"To gain power, my brother also joined the ranks of these traitors and he is one of the people who is behind the restoration of the power of Darkness! And to reward him, she designated him as the one of her generals! Monkey D-san, sorry to tell you but I doubt you can beat him."

Just staring at Sebas without saying anything, Luffy looked thoughtful.

"Anyway, you had nothing to do with it." Sebas stated. "Monkey D-san! This story is only about our family! So it's up to us to fight Darkness and..."

Suddenly, Luffy pointed at Galadriel, before declaring.

"Jelly is my friend."

" Huh ? "

Fixing Sebas with a serious look, Luffy stated.

"This story is about me now, because whenever someone hurts a friend of mine...I'll always make them regret it."

"Mugiwara...don't take this story lightly." Galadriel retorted. "You almost lost to my uncle! And Darkness is even stronger than him! What do you think...?"

" I never fought that guy with all my might. " Luffy retorted.

" What ? "

Still showing a serious look, Luffy confessed.

"I wanted to take advantage of his power so I could improve my own abilities! My haki is always flawed...that's why I wanted to make our fight last as long as possible! Nevertheless, next time it will be different."

Showing no fear in his eyes, he declared.

"I would kick their ass."

Looking at him without saying anything, Galadriel wondered if he was arrogant or if his stupidity made him completely careless. Yet, after everything she had seen since her arrival in this world, she was certain that trusting logic was a bad decision. And now that she knew that Luffy was truly the captain of her group, it was no wonder his power was at least equal to Zoro's.

"I don't know if it will be as easy as you claim." Galadriel retorted. "Right now, a lot is happening in the world! I'm sure you've heard about Kaido becoming the president of North Korea."

"Yes! My friends told me about it yesterday! But when I offered to go over there to kick his ass, they said no! They want us to meet up with the rest of our friends before we confront him. again. "

"Oh? And between Kaido and Darkness, who is stronger?"

Taking a few seconds to think, Luffy nodded.

"It's hard to say! I fought them both, but I'm sure they never used their true strength to fight me! However, in our second fight, Kaido showed greater strength than the one used by Darkness."

Hearing this, Galadriel poorly concealed her anxiety.

" To defeat Mugiwara, obviously I would have to fight him seriously! But Kaido is stronger than him... obviously I must convince Mugiwara to join Nazarick at all costs. "

Yet again, his whole body began to shiver. It had nothing to do with cold or cold. Galadriel shudder with excitement.

" Damn it...this feeling of being both helpless and having the impression of having everything under control! This feeling of having to exceed my limits to get what I want! This feeling of being in danger at the slightest wrong no...It's the best. "

"Also Mugiwara, I wanted to know! The power you're using...haki...is it a similar power to your Devil Fruit?"

"Not at all! It's a power that has been in me since I was born! In truth, many people in my world can obtain it! However, you have to know how to awaken it and control it! It's like an aura . "

Hearing this, Galadriel pointed to herself.

"Do you think you can train me?"

" Huh ? "

"Mugiwara...I intend to become the best heroine in this world! But, currently, it is obvious that I am unable to face people like my uncle or Darkness! However, if you train me, I am sure of become even more powerful! Please teach me the basics of controlling haki."

Hearing this, Luffy placed his hands behind his head, before looking annoyed.

"Deku has asked me to train him before but...it doesn't really amuse me."

"Train him?"

Thinking of that, Galadriel noticed that the idea was not stupid.

" People like Deku or Bakugo might be useful to me later! So, it's better if they also become more powerful! If Mugiwara can do that...it would bring me a lot of benefits. "

"Then why not make a deal?" Galadriel asked.

" Huh ? "

"You want to go back to your world, don't you? Then let the Nazarick family help you! We have thousands of subordinates spread across the world! We can get any information quickly! Mugiwara , we can help you get home or we can help you find your other friends in this world."

"Would you do that?" Luffy questioned her.

"Of course! If train our class to enable us to become stronger, I assure you that you will not regret it."

Hearing this, Luffy flashed a big smile, while declaring.

"I accept."

Hearing this, Galadriel wanted to laugh inwardly.

" Mugiwara...unwittingly, you're going to give me the intel I need to make your haki useless on me! And by controlling it, I could defeat you even more easily. "

Then, she gave a slight nod to Sebas, who replied with a slight nod. Immediately, Galadriel left her chair, before going to the restrooms of the restaurant.

"Excuse me! I'll be back in five minutes."

Seeing her leave, Luffy looked at the empty plates in front of him, before declaring.

"This conversation has made me hungry again! Hey, I want another chicken and more cake."

" Of course, Luffy-san. "

Remaining silent at first, Sebas stared at Luffy. Then he asked him.

"So you're actually going to help my daughter?"

" Of course. " Assura Luffy.

"And aren't you afraid that we'll try to betray you?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me that?"

"We just told you our story! I just told you that my own proud betrayed his family to associate with a demon! Nothing can tell you that I won't try to betray you."

Staring at him in turn, Luffy questioned him.

"Are you planning to betray Jelly?"

"Just the thought of hurting her makes me want to curse myself." Sebas asserted.

"In that case, that's all that matters." Luffy assured. "Jelly is my friend! So if you want to protect her, that's fine with me."

Hearing this, Sebas affirmed.

"I really don't know how to consider you, Mugiwara! After all, you trust me while my aura is identical to my brother's."

" That's what's strange. " Luffy affirmed.

" Huh ? "

"Even though I consider him my enemy, your brother was different from Darkness.

" Why ? "

"I don't know but...I don't think he's a bad guy."

Resuming a smile at Sebas, he declared.

"In my opinion, all I have to do is kick his ass to make him realize that what he did was wrong. "

This time, Sebas couldn't help but smile a little.

"You really are not a human like the others."

Deciding to come back at that moment, Galadriel saw the restaurant owner coming towards Luffy, with a very long sheet of paper.

"Sir, here is your meal bill."

Curious, Galadriel looking at the bill, before declaring.

"I feel like I'm reading China's GDP! No wonder you're their best customer."

Katara's gymnasium

Seeing a commotion inside the gymnasium, Tairo and Ai approached a practice ring, where several people were already there.

" What is going on ? "

"The guy with the sword wants to fight Roronoa." One person asserted.

"They're going to fight in the ring." Someone else stated.

Hearing this, a vein of anger appeared on Tairo's frotn.

"Damn it." He roared, pushing the people in front of him aside.

Then, jumping up, he landed in the ring, where he spotted Zoro and Brain facing each other. Seeing that Brain still had his sword at his belt, Tairo asked.

"Are you deaf, or do you really want me to kick your ass and get you kicked out of here?"

" Hey, guy! We're getting ready to fight. " Zoro affirmed.

"I don't care! I don't want weapons here! If you want to fight, it's with your bare hands! This place is for training! Not for killing each other."

" We don't want to kill each other. " Brain affirmed. "Just a fight to define who is the strongest."

" And we're both consenting. " Zoro affirmed.

Listening to them, Tairo sighed. Then he ordered.

"Raise your hand if you swear you won't sue my establishment if any of you are injured or die in this fight."

Surprised at first, the two men ended up raising their hands. Seeing this, Tairo turned to his sister, who filmed the scene with a cellphone in her hand.

"Do you have the video?"

"I have the video." Ai affirmed.

" Perfect. "

Leaving the ring, Tairo declared.

"Do as you wish! From now on, anything that happens in this ring will no longer be my gym's responsibility! If you are injured, it will be solely your fault."

"Tssss! Stop pretending to be my mother." Brain growled, grabbing his sword.

However, he noticed that Zoro didn't have his swords with him.

"Where are your swords?"

In response, Zoro pointed to several lockers that were locked.

"That damn manager kept ordering me to leave my swords outside, if I want to train here! So, finally, I leave them in a locker."

"That's the rule." Ai affirmed. "Weapons are prohibited here."

"And how are you going to fight?" Asked Brain.

For all answer, Zoro turned to the people watching them.

"Do any of you have a power that could give me a dagger or a small weapon like that?"

For only answer, a woman closes her eyes, before concentrating. Then, a stick appeared in front of her, before taking the form of a bamboo sword.

"Will that do?" She asked, throwing the weapon at Zoro.

Grabbing it, Zoro looked at the bamboo saber, before affirming.

"That will do."

"Oye! What are you doing?" Brain growled. "During this fight, I intend to use my sword to fight you."

"Sorry, but if I don't fight with a handicap, this match will be boring."

" WHAT ? "

" I don't intend to humiliate you. " Confirmed Zoro. "Or rather, I intend to use your future defeat, to show you the difference between you and me."

Hearing this, Brain gritted his teeth, before running towards Zoro.

"ASSHOLE!" He roared, drawing his sword.

Nevertheless, Zoro surprised everyone, as he found himself behind Brain. Paralyzed, the blue-haired man ended up falling to his knees, while Zoro had just hit him three times, without him being able to see it.

" How ? "

" You are weak. " Zoro affirmed.

Returning to her villa, Galadriel couldn't help but let out a weary sigh.

"As usual, any conversation with Mugiwara exhausts me! However, for once he managed to bring me more answers than more questions."

Thinking about what Luffy had said about Kaido, Galadriel affirmed.

"I must inquire with Albedo to find out how many dead demons in Korea could have been teleported to Nazarick! Launching a new attack now will surely be suicidal! Nevertheless, when Mugiwara is under my control, I will need as many allies as possible."

"My lady." Narberal called, walking towards her. "Welcome back! Would you like to eat some desserts?"

Still having the feeling of having a full stomach after her meal with Luffy, Galadriel couldn't hide a slight disgust.

"Huh...I think I've eaten enough for today! I'd gladly accept a cup of tea to aid digestion, please."

"It will be done, Galadriel-sama."

Getting ready to sit down on an armchair, to rest a little, Galadriel declared.

"By the way, Narberal, it's been a while since I've seen Tinia."

"The vermin?" asked Narberal.

"Don't be rude, Narberal! This little one is just a helpless child."

"She can already rejoice that you had the kindness to kill her father to protect her." Narberal growled.

"I didn't kill him." Galadriel retorted, with a sadistic smile. "He's in the hospital! It's just that I made sure that his burns are incurable and that they will continue to burn him for life, like a fiery ember! I hope you take care of Tinia! Don't forget she's my guest."

"This little vermin has been granted a room! And a homunculus brings her her meals and makes sure she washes herself."

"And where is she now?"

"She's playing in the garden." Narberal assured her.

Hearing this, Galadriel decided to walk a bit and went to the garden. Turning her head for a few moments, she ended up seeing the child, squatting in a corner of the garden, while she seemed to be interested in something.

Walking towards her, Galadriel noticed that now might be the time to consider entrusting her to someone.

"Who should I entrust her to? Should I entrust her to Shag-Li? I am sure that the children of the orphanage will welcome her among them? Or should I find her a new family where she can live? happy ? "

Finally, standing behind Tinia, Galadriel noticed that she was holding a rabbit in her arms.

"Oh? Did you manage to catch a rabbit, Tinia?"

Startled at first, the child turned to Galadriel. Then, recognizing her, she flashed a big smile.

" Galadriel-sama ! "

But while she flashed a big smile, Galadriel was surprised to see bloodstains on her face.

"Huh? Are you bleeding? Did that bunny bite you?"

"Not at all." Tinia retorted, continuing to smile.

Then, she showed the rabbit to Galadriel who easily noticed...that it was dead. Having visible wounds all over its body, it was obvious that the animal had likely been tortured before to be killed. And seeing the amount of blood on Tinia's clothes, it was obvious who the culprit was.

Yet even for someone like Galadriel, it was complicated to understand what she was seeing. Tinia had always shown an innocent and frightened face. She seemed like a normal little girl, who had just had the misfortune to have a horrible fear. So why had she done this?

Seeing Galadriel staring at her without saying anything, Tinia looked surprised.

" Did I do something wrong ? "

She had uttered this sentence with the innocence of a child of her age. She didn't seem to be playing dumb or pretending not to understand.

"Tinia…why…why did you kill that bunny?"

"Why? For fun." The child assured.

" For fun ? "

Hearing her repeat what she had just said, Tinia tilted her head to the side before asking.

"Isn't that how we're supposed to have fun?"

"Who...Who taught you to have fun like that?"

"When he hit me, my father always enjoyed seeing me suffer! In fact, as soon as I cried, he hit me harder! And when I cried, he seemed to be satisfied to see me roll into a ball on the floor and hearing me ask him to stop hitting me."

Looking at the corpse of the rabbit she was holding in her hands, she declared.

"My father always told me that he always regretted that I was alive! He hated me because I was weak compared to him! That's why I wanted to be like him! I wanted to be like him so he started liking me! And that's why I started having fun the same way he did."

Looking back at Galadriel, she questioned her.

"Isn't that how we have fun?"

Again, Galadriel saw no lie in her voice. Tinia wasn't trying to lie to her or act stupid. She meant what she said. And it was then that she realized that she had intervened much too late.

After being beaten. After being his father's punching bag for years. After losing all hope of a better life... Tinia's brain suffered damage that even Galadriel couldn't heal. Sequelae that could certainly worsen over the years. And because of this, Tinia could become a real danger to the population.

"Tinia…did…Have you ever had fun with other kids?"

"Once." Tinia confessed. "When my dad sent me on an errand, I walked past a park and saw some kids! Some were alone! So I approached one of them and lured her closer away! And then I attacked her."

" How ? "

"I hit her with a stone." Tinia confessed. "She fell down after I hit her! Since I still had my stone in my hand, I wanted to hit her again."

"And... you killed her?"

"No! She started crying! And when I saw her put her arms in front of her face to protect herself, I had a strange feeling! My brain wanted to continue but... the rest of my body stopped. was frozen! It was like he refused to want to hurt her! Finally, someone had come to us and I left."

"And, it was after you had fun with animals?"

"Yes! When I have fun with them, it's different! My body doesn't stop me from having fun with them! I can do whatever I want! I can... look like my father and make him proud of me. "

Smiling again, she said.

"Now it's not me who feels pain anymore! And so, that means I'm not weak anymore."

Hearing her speak confirmed Galadriel's doubts. Despite her young age, Tinia already sounded like a psychopath. She was numb to her actions and no longer seemed to know the difference between right and wrong. And that was a serious problem.

"What am I going to do with her? No way am I giving her to Shag-Li! She would be able to kill the other children! Can I heal her? I doubt that Nazarick has a potion to cure a psychopath's murderous urges! In that case, should I kill her?"

Looking at Tinia, who still wore her innocent smile, Galadriel finally shook her head.

"It's a child! And even if she harmed animals, she didn't kill humans! Which means it might not be too late! If I arrive to erase his father's atrocious deeds from his mind, maybe..."

Suddenly, galadriel herself was seized with a morbid idea. Her human side wanted to protect Tinia and give her the right to have a normal life.

However, his demonic side wanted to take advantage of the situation again. If Tinia was already insensitive and she could kill a human being, why not train her to become a perfect killer who would accomplish any mission in the name of Nazarick?
