Skipping episode 100's ("Holy shit, we actually reached episode 100.") opening, recap, and title, they were met with the Straw Hats and Ace sweating in the desert heat. Usopp got mad at Luffy for wasting water. While Luffy tried to defend himself by saying that Ace brought a whole bunch with him, Usopp reminded him there's a limit to everything, though Sanji is happy to give his to Nami.

Vivi and Nami refused the offer, but Luffy wants it, causing Luffy and Sanji to fight over the water, adding Usopp to the mix.

Iida sighed, shaking his head. "I hope you'll learn about sparing your supplies soon."

Nami asked Vivi about the rebel army, and the princess agreed to it, saying that she should probably tell them about it in advance.

"Well, finally your told them something, princess." Katsuki sighed.

11 years ago, in the Alabasta Kingdom's throne room, a young boy had told Cobra that his village dried up, asking why he didn't help them. Cobra told him that the weather is the gods' doing, and he has no control over that. When the claimed that his dad told him that he can do anything, Cobra could only answer that he's limited by what can be done by man.

Aizawa nodded along. "You should understand that no matter how grand they seem to be, they're only human." His eyes turned towards his students. "Do you understand?"

He could see some of them nodded in agreement, and he would definitely believe it when he looked over Izuku and Katsuki.

Soon, the boy's father came in to apologize for his son, accepting any punishment. The father made his son bow, and repeatedly hit him, but Cobra recognized the man as Toto, and allowed him to live here in Alabasta, and make plans for his future.

Toto thanked him, but the boy, Koza, cried and ran off, believing he doesn't understand the feelings of the villagers.

"That's Koza?" Tsuyu commented on, remembering the sunglasses wearing vigilant in the present day.

Cobra told Toto that Koza is a good boy as he spoke of the villagers' feelings and did all of this for them.

Koza ran in the palace's halls, tears in his eyes til he passed by a young Vivi and Karoo, and she called him a 'crybaby,' but Koza called her a 'runt.'

"Oh no, is there going to be a fight?" Mina said with no real bite.

Cobra was approached by Igaram, who warned him that the kingdom doesn't have enough money to support all of them. Cobra smacked him on the head, and exclaimed that they'll just need to trim down their own living expenses.

The students snickered and snorted in surprise at such a gesture.

He acts so wise when he's so human himself. Toshinori thought with a smile, admiring the way the king is.

Igaram understood, but soon, a guard came in to tell them about Vivii, who got in a fight and lost.

Cobra and Igaram were shocked, and for sure, Igaram would had pulverized Koza id Cobra haven't held him back. Toto came running in, trying to apologize by killing himself, but Cobra smacked the both of them, reminding them that it's just a children's quarrel.

"Thank you." Jiro sighed, shaking her head.

In the city, as the owners sold their wares, the children ran for the fight between Koza and Vivi. The girls are on Vivi's side while the boys are on Koza's.

Vivi wanted to be the leader if she wins, but Koza believed that he'll never lose to a pipsqueak.

The audience snickered, amused by the childish fight of pinching cheeks. Izuku smiled to himself, thinking, So, this is how childish fights are suppose to look like.

By the end of the fight, Vivi became the vice-leader of their Sand-Sand Clan with no one having a problem with it.

Watching from a distance, Igaram and Cobra were happy to see that Vivi has made friends, and that's the most important thing to have if she's to carry Alabasta someday.

Iida nodded, seeing how down to earth they are.

One day, Vivi asked Toto where Koza is, but Toto told her that she've already missed him, though he's probably at the usually place. Just as Viv was about to leave, the mother asked about lunch, and Vivi exclaimed she'll eat with them. Toto can't help but to be amused with the fact that the princess of a kingdom would mingle with the commoners like them.

He noticed Igaram sneaking by, and asked if he'll join them for lunch too, but Igaram already brought rice balls.

Then he noticed Cobra sneaking around as well, much to their shock.

As the students snickered and laughed, Aizawa slightly smiled, He's surprisingly a normal father.

Back in the present, Nami thought it sounds like a nice country as Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji continued to fight for the water. Vivi continued her story.

In the past, bandits tried to kidnap Vivi, but they were attacked by the Sand-Sand Clan. The clan tried to have the princess run away, but the redheaded man only wanted Vivi for random money, throwing aside.

Still, the clan won't allow that to happen.

"Oh, what brave little kids." Toru cooed as the audience grew worried for them.

After the eyecatches, in the present day, the guys found a stinger, which Luffy poked it with a stick and it exploded to reveal a giant scorpion.

"Seriously, why are there so many giant things?!" Hizashi shivered.

As Zoro, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper fought with the giant scorpion, Nami asked Vivi to continue her story, and she did.

She've described Koza was a very strong-hearted boy, but she was worried about that heart once,

In the past, as the clan fought the bandits, Another bad guy tried to grab her, but Vivi bit his finger and ran to the ruins with the bad guys after her.

When Igaram and Cobra arrived on the scene, they'd discovered all the kids were beaten up, and they were able to warn the two of the bad guys and that Koza went after them.

"Seriously, they really have to beat up those kids?" Ochako said, hugging the Chopper plushie.

In the ruins, the bad guys searched for Viv, who kept herself hidden until the redhead found her, but Koza managed to hit him with a club, jumping to Vivi's side.

Koza ordered him to leave the city, but the redhead told him to give up the princess, brandishing his sword. Still, Koza refused to back down, no matter how much Vivi begged him to stop.

Students gasped and gaped, though Todoroki looked away, when the man's slashed Koza's left eye. "Koza!"

Still, with a swing of his club, Koza was able to defeat him. Vivi ran to his side as he held his face. Even then, when the lackeys threaten to give them a thrashing, Koza still tried to defend Vivi, and Cobra and Igaram came in, kicking the two in the face.

There were sighs of relief as Hizashi let out a small laugh. "Kicking them while they're down, huh, kingy."

Chaka and Pell came in with more of the defeated kidnappers, surprising Cobra with their appearances, though the two told the king to refrain from acting so recklessly.

They made arrangements for Koza and the Sand Sand Clan to get treated by a doctor.

As the sun started to set on the palace's grounds, Cobra asked Vivi why she seems so glum. She admitted that she was so scared. Koza thought it was because of the bad guys, but in actuality, it was because Koza told the clan to protect her to the death.

"It was kind of terrifying to think that all of your friends would die for you like that." Tsuyu admitted, a little teary eyed.

Before they left, Cobra reminded Koza that Vivi is a princess, and his deed was an immense one, so he had his gratitude, but to Koza, Vivi is a friend, so it's only natural.

Toshinori can't help but to smile a bit from that, kind of reminded how he saw the potential in Izuku; to move without thinking when your friend is in danger, but at the same time, his smile was a little wary, knowing what Koza became in the present day.

From that, Cobra could tell that the next generation of Alabasta will being good hands.

"And then in the present day..." Denki offered an apologetic smile to the king.

Cobra asked if he likes this country, and he did since he was born here. The same goes to the king.

In the palace hallways, Igaram admitted to the king that he's a bit concerned as he thought that Vivi is too kindhearted to make difficult decisions, but to Cobra, it's fine.

"I mean, Vivi is able to grow at least a little from that." Momo said, remembering how Vivi had to choose between the kingdom and Nami's health.

"But she'll need to make more difficult challenges in the future." Aizawa said.

The next day, Vivi learned about Yuba, where Toto wanted to make a town at the empty oasis since it's the crossroads of Alabasta, and he was asked to be its representative.

"So that's why she would had thought the rebellion be there." Izuku frowned.

Koza has to go there too, despite what his dad says. He wanted to build a new city with own two hands.

The students can't help but to frown as well, seeing how the future goes for them.

The two families had made their goodbyes as they depart for Yuba, in hopes to make the country lush.

In the present day, Nami thought the Koza was a really nice boy, but she asked what that has to do with the rebel army. Vivi told her that Yuba is where the rebel army is stationed and the name of the leader is... Koza, the very boy she'd told her about.

Then Sanji came in, carrying in a giant claw for Nami, much to their shock.

Surprised laughs came from the audience at the sudden mood change.

"Wait, does scorpion really taste like shrimp?" Denki wondered with interest.

Nami was angry at them, much to the boys' confusion.

"To Be Continued."

"Alright, episode 101 is mostly filler," Aizawa gave a pointed look at Katsuki. "But there's apparently an important canon scene at the end. It wouldn't count into our watch."

"Alright, I get it." Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"Does that mean I get to hold onto Chopper longer?" Ochako grinned widely.

"Hey, I didn't get to hold onto Chopper as long as you!" Toru argued, but Ochako only hugged the Chopper plushie in retaliation.


Skipping most of episode 101, Aizawa stopped at where the sun was setting as Ace decided to leave since Blackbeard isn't in Alabasta.

"No! But we wanted to know you more." Toru complained, which the others agreed as well, letting out disappointed whines.

"This is all your fault, Bakugo!" Mina cried out, glaring at the explosive boy.

"Fuck you! Ace is cool, but I am never going to be willing to watch filler for more him." Katsuki glared.

Aizawa could only sigh at all of this.

Sanji asked where Ace is going to next, and he claimed that Scorpion ("Who?" "Filler guy, I guess.") said there's a man who saw him in the west.

He tossed Luffy a piece of paper and told him to always hang onto that. Though it's just a scrap piece of paper. Ace believed it will bring them together again. He told him that it's natural for a big brother to worry about his bungling kid brother, but he hoped the crew would take care of him.

Has... Tensei thought that before? I mean, he must have been worried before. Iida thought.

Ace is certain that the next time they meet, they'll be both top pirates, and Luffy agreed.

When Luffy shouted at some kids, an ostrich, and their father ("Seriously, stop adding the filler."), Ace disappeared, thought Luffy is sure they'll see him again.

"To Be Continued."

"So, I'm guess the canon part is Ace's departure and the piece of paper." Iida said.

"What's on the paper anyway." Kirishima asked.

"I don't know. It looked blank." Ochako tossed the Chopper plushie to Mina in hopes that she stop glaring at the Katsuki. The toy hit her in the face, but Mina took the toy anyway, slowly turning away from him.

"Why would Ace give him nothing?" Sero raised an eyebrow.

"Mystery paper." Denki concluded.


Moving onto episode 103, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see the crew still traveling through the desert. Though tired, Usopp asked Luffy what Ace gave him, and Luffy claimed it's a scrap of paper with nothing on it.

"Seriously, why did Ace gave it to him anyway?" Katsuki asked.

"Maybe if you figured its secret, it'll tell you a message." Tokoyami suggested.

"Oh, like one of those burnable treasure maps?" Sato said.

"Looks pretty thin though. You can see Luffy's hand through it." Shoji pointed out.

Luffy nearly lost the paper to Eyelashes, so Nami had it sown to the underside of his hat ribbon.

"Thank god, because Luffy would had definitely lost it normally," Jiro commented on.

"Come on, it's something his older brother gave him. I'm sure Luffy could had kept it safe." Kirishima said.

Zoro doesn't think there's a point to keep it, but since Ace told him so, Luffy has to keep it.

Looking out on the distance, Vivi knows that Yuba is over some big rocks, continuing their travels.

With Crocodile, he told Miss All Sunday that the operation will commence at high noon two days from now, and asked if she has finished the arrangements.

She has with 150 Billions on standby at Nanohana. She've also called Mr. 2, and discovered that he failed to capture Mr. 3.

Aoyama worryingly frowned. "I hope you don't punish Bon Clay over that."

Miss All Sunday told him that the officer agents are gathering at the Spiders Cafe at 8:00 tonight.

The Spiders Cafe seems like an average cafe in the middle of the desert, thought the patronage are certainly not as a fat woman, Miss Merry Christmas, was exhausted, complaining to her partner, Mr. 4, that it's his fault since he's so slow.

"Oh god, this guy is suppose to be stronger than 5." Katsuki said incredulously.

"Are you defending Mr. 5?" Iida raised an eyebrow.

"No way, it's just that... look at 4!"

Miss Merry Christmas chattered away with the woman behind the counter, Paula, who welcomed the two and served them drinks.

Soon, Bon Clay can be heard outside, making his men dance.

"Oh, come my way?" Aoyama repeated the phrase they kept saying.

Mr. 2 danced in and greeted them all, but Paula thought he must be stupid. He was insulted, but asked for an Octopus Parfait, then made his men leave so they can practice their dance.

He just noticed Mr. 4 giving Miss Merry Christmad a back massage, but soon changed the subject about Mr. 1's team being mobilized, though he've never met them before.

At the window, staying hidden was Mr. 3.

"I can't wait for how all of this will go down." Mina grinned, hugging the Chopper plushie.

It was near 8 o' clock as a muscular man can be see dragging something in the distance.

Mr. 2 was bored, and ended up arguing with Miss Merry Christmas, but that ended by the time it reached 8 on the dot as the door burst opened.

The agents were on high alert as Mr. 2 was shocked to see his men are bloodied and beaten up by the man himself, Mr. 1.

Mr. 1 thought they were acting suspiciously in the desert, and he's sure they're dead, advising Mr. 2 that worthless, cozy relationships will be his downfall.

"Jesus." Hizashi gaped as everyone stared wide eyed at the character, though Todoroki felt like glaring at Mr. 1 instead.

Despite Miss Merry Christmas's warning, Mr. 2 and Mr. 1 dodged each other's attacks til Mr. 2 landed a kick on him, sending Mr. 1 through the wall, though to Miss Merry Christmas thought he either slipped or shattered the wall.

What is his Devil Fruit? Izuku wondered, his pen tapping on his notebook in thought.

Before Mr. 1 could show his powers, Paula, or rather Miss Doublefinger, stopped him as Mr. 4 held Bon Clay down.

"Doublefinger? What holiday is that?" Denki asked, holding his hand up into a peace sign. Mean while, Mineta seems to be thinking of a more perverted take on the codename if the look on his face is anything to go by.

Now that it's 8:00, all the agents should be here, and there's a letter with their order.

Miss Doublefinger took off her glasses and bandanna, and revealed her outfit.

Mineta and Denji let out a low whistle at Miss Doublefinger's new outfit.

"I feel like Nemuri would love that look." Hizashi murmured.

They're heading for Rainbase, the city of dreams, where their boss is waiting for them.

After the eyecatches, Bunchi the tortoise was bringing the agents to Rainbase.

"You know, I'm not even surprised anymore." Jiro said, staring at the tortoise.

Miss All Sunday has finished assigning the replacements for the Billions in Nanohana as Crocodile could see things are progressing smoothly.

Meanwhile, through the sand, Vivi could see a light, but there was an out of place sound. Vivi realized the city doesn't look right, seeing a sandstorm has stuck Yuba.

The audience held their breaths, worried about the aftermath.

By the time the Straw Hats arrived at Yuba, it was no different from Erumalu.

Luffy wanted to know where the water is, and Sanji pointed out that it's suppose to be an oasis city. Vivi could see the sand has raised the ground, so the oasis has been swallowed up.

In the sand, there was a man digging. Though he seems weak, he apologized for the state of the city since they must be exhausted, but they're free to rest here if they want. There are plenty of inns here.

Is that...? Izuku's eyebrows furrowed in worry.

Vivi his her face and asked about the rebel army, but at that, the man threw everything he had, hoping they aren't going to join the rebellion.

Sadden expressions appeared over the students, thought Kirishima managed to say, "At least the old man still believes in the king."

He told them that the rebellion left town long ago, much to their shock.

Sandstorms had frequent Yuba for some reason, swallowing up the oasis, and with the town's flow of supplies gone, the rebellion moved its base to Katorea.

Vivi knows that it's an oasis next to Nanohana; the same town where Chopper got lost and met Lashes. Eyelashes even mentioned that he was carrying rebel army goods to Katorea, which Usopp, Luffy, and Sanji started to beat him up for not saying something sooner.

"I-It was never mentioned before." Koda tried to defend the camel.

The old man approached when he realized that they've mentioned Vivi. Luffy tried to say that Vivi isn't the princess, but the man was so glad that Vivi's alive.

Despite how much weight he've lost, Vivi was able to recognize the man as Toto.

"Toto?" Eyes widen at the realization, recognizing some of the familiar features on him now.

Toto has faith in the king, knowing that he would never betray the kingdom.

"Oh, old man..." Denki and some of the other students became teary eyed, seeing him cry to the point he's on his knees.

Toto admitted that the rebellion is foolish, and though it hasn't rained for three years, he and most of the country has faith in the king. He'd tried to stop the rebellion so many times, but they won't listen to anything he say. It won't stop, and he knows their strength is at its limit; their backs are against the wall. They're prepared to die!

The students held their breaths at such a thing, as Momo tightened her hands at the realization: "He must know that the leader is Koza. He... must be worried to death."

Toto begged Vivi to stop the rebellion. As a man in Katorea asked to see Koza, Vivi gave Toto a handkerchief, telling him no to worry as they're going to stop them.

That's not realistic. Aizawa can't help but to think. Saving a village is much different from saving an entire country.

Looking over his class, he could see some of them agreeing with the princess, but they didn't miss the look on the Straw Hats' faces: They weren't smiling like them.

Back in Katorea, Koza could remember that childhood promise, but he was interrupted by one of his men. He believed that they're ready to strike, though they don't have nearly enough weapons, but...

They're the only ones to protect the country.

"To Be Continued."

"They're going to get themselves killed." Tsuyu quietly croaked. She could see that the rebellion believed that they're doing a good thing, but-

She felt the Chopper plushie was placed onto her lap as Mina said, "Maybe... the Straw Hats can do something, hopefully."

Tsuyu hugged the Chopper plushie in comfort.


After skipping episode 104's opening, recap, and title, they could see that the Straw Hats are trying to sleep, but they've ended up having a pillow fight.

There were some laughter from the students, glad to have some ease after a tense filled episode.

Outside, Luffy whined to Toto about there being no water around here. He asked how he could live in such a place.

Toto believed that there will be water and that he oasis is still alive. He plans to dig it back up as this is the land the king gave him.

Hearingi that, Luffy decided to dig as well, but he ended up throwing dirt into Toto's hole, which he scolded him for. Luffy concluded it as a mystery hole and continued to dig in the same way.

So I guess Luffy understood that this town is... Toto's treasure. Izuku thought with a smile.

The moon was still high in the sky when Toto realized that sand isn't flying into his hole, and discovered the deep hole Luffy had made. In that hole, he've found Luffy, exhausted from his long trek here, so he put him to rest with the others.

In Rainbase, the Baroque Works agents has arrived at a casino, but Bon Clay was frustrated that their boss is making them wait.

Soon, Miss All Sunday has arrived to thank them for gathering here, welcoming them to Raindinners, the largest casino of all.

"it did gave off a Los Vegas feel to it." Toshinori commented on.

Mr. 2 told her to get to the point, and she will. She just need to introduce them to their boss, and in turn, Crocodile has to introduce them to Operation Utopia, Baroque Works' final operation.

"Utopia." Jiro scoffed.

The agents were shock to see that their boss is actually Crocodile. Miss All Sunday could see that they know of him-

"Wait, did that alligator always had a banana in his head?" Denki can't help but to comment on.

-But they didn't know that they were working for him.

When Crocodile asked if they were dissatisfied, the agents were frightened, but Miss Doublefinger clarified by him, a pirate who's allowed to plunder, why does he need a company like this.

Crocodile admitted that he doesn't want money nor status; he wants military might.

"Military might?" Izuku repeated in confusion.

He was able to explain it... and one transition later, he did. Bon Clay can't believe that something like that really exists in this country, and they're going to steal the entire country including that.

"Dammit, they didn't tell us!" Mina shouted in frustration.

"But it also means that Ace was right; that Crocodile wanted more than Alabasta." Izuku realized.

"But what is Alabasta hiding that will give him military might?" Ochako asked.

"Some kind of... super weapon?" Denki guessed.

"That could be possible," Momo pondered over the idea. "I mean, Cobra is too kind to use a super weapon on the world."

"Would Alabasta really be hiding that? Someone else would had to find it sooner or later." Jiro said.

Their assignments are the final pieces of this enormous plan, and the letters they are give are their final orders. Crocodile is certain that Alabasta will destroy itself if the army and the rebellion fought. In a single night, this land will be their utopia.

They'll begin at noon tomorrow.

"That soon?!" Denki exclaimed as the the other students worried.

Just as Crocodile wished them luck, Mr. 3 came in, demanding they hold off the operation.

"I think there's a reason why they didn't wait for you." Aizawa said.

After the eyecatches, Miss All Sunday asked how did he enter the secret underground room, and Bon Clay threatened to finish his order, but Crocodile told him to stop.

Mr. 3 admitted that he've snuck a ride on Bunchi's car, and he's here to ask for another chance. He knows that it's natural for Mr. 2 to kill him since he'd failed the task, which Crocohile was confused by.

When Mr. 3 confessed that he let the Straw Hats and Vivi escaped, Crocodile's teacup handle shattered.

"Oh no," Toru whispered.

"And Bon Clay's there too, which is even worse!" Mineta cried out.

Hearing that Mr. 3 haven't even touched the Transponder Snail on Little Garden, Crocodile lit his cigar, seeing that this isn't good.

He asked if he'd gotten rid one or two of them, which was a 'no.' Mr. 3 tried to defend himself by saying he was misinformed, but Crocodile was furious while Bon Clay wanted answers.

After being given the pictures, he recognized the Straw Hats soon, even using his Devil Fruit abilities to show them.

"Come on, I thought we were friends!" Kirishima cried out.

Crocodile realized they know his identity and will interfere with the operation it left alone. Setting aside the pet-

"Chopper's not a pet; he's their doctor." Tsuyu said with furrowed eyebrows, hugging the Chopper plushie.

"Respect his title." Denki added on.

-they could assume that Vivi and the other four are in Alabasta. They have to make photos of them with Mr. 2's ability.

"They don't know about Sanji." Jiro smirked.

Mr. 3 tried to swear he can take care of the Straw Hats himself, but Crocodile grabbed his neck, furious with his failures.

Students let out sharp gasps and surprised squeals as Mr. 3 dried up before their eyes.

Izuku's eyes widen in horror, remembering what happened to the pirate crew at the beginning of the arc. I knew it could dry them up, but there's more range than i thought.

Mr. 3 was desperate for water, and Crocodile gave him some, sending him to the bananagators.

A handful of students tensed up from hearing Mr. 3 scream as he's eaten by the bananagator offscreen.

Denki let out a nervous laugh. "I-I can't believe that Crocodile doesn't have bananadile as a pet. Am I right?"

He was met with nothing.

The agents has gone pale, but Crocodile continued on the operation, showing them the Straw Hats' pictures.

Seeing Vivi's picture, Bon Clay asked if she can really stop the rebellion, and Crocodile informed him that she and the rebel leader are close childhood friends.

While the rebellion won't be easily stopped, Vivi can bring confusion to the army. Crocodile already has many Billions in their ranks, and since he hasn't heard any word from them means the Straw Hats haven't taken any direct action yet. He warned them that Vivi and the rebel army must not make contact.

He ordered Miss All Sunday to make contact with the Billions in Nanohana, and tell them to kill the Straw Hats on sight.

"I'm sure the Straw Hats can handle Mr. 2." Aoyama hoped.

"And the others?" Iida coined in.

"Well, we haven't seen all their Devil Fruits yet."

"Considering there's still a thousand episodes, I can confidently say the crew well defeat them." Jiro said.

Back in Yuba, Toto was saying goodbye to the crew, but he was able to give Luffy a gift: a small barrel filled with Yuba water. Luffy promised to drink it with care.

Out in the desert, as they traveled, Luffy sat down at a dried out tree, much to the others' frustration and confusion.

"What are you doing? We have to go to the rebel base." Iida scolded him.

When Vivi asked what's wrong, Luffy claimed he quits.

"What?!" Several students cried out.

"What's going on? Luffy, what are you trying to do?" Momo demanded as the teachers kept an eye on the captain.

Even after Sanji pointed out that things will get ugly if they don't go to Katorea, Luffy still refused.

"Come on!" "People will die!" "We have to do something."

Are you...? Aizawa thought at first.

Luffy does want to kick Crocodile's ass, but if they stopped the people rebelling, will that stop Crocodile?

Students froze at Luffy's question as a sad smile slowly spread across Aizawa's face.

He knows they won't be able to do anything in Katorea. They're pirates, and things are better off without them around, which his crew could understand what he's going on about.

Luffy understands that Vivi wants no one to die, but he thinks that's too soft-hearted.

"Luffy?" Mina said in a mixture of confusion and hurt in some way.

It's... true. They're pirates. Iida knows that, everyone in the class knows that very well, but it was... confusing. What's wrong with not wanting anyone to die?

Nami told him that he should show some sympathy for Vivi, but Sanji held her back.

"Even the cook is taking this serious." Jiro gasped.

Vivi was furious, asking what's wrong with that, what's wrong with not wanting people to die?

"People die."

The teachers and Izuku looked away from the screen for a moment as the rest of the class went silent.

It's... true. It's true. It will happen. ...You can't save everyone, and... people die. Fading yellow eyes came to his mind.

Students gasped when Vivi slapped him hard enough to send him flying, demanding that he stop talking like that. That's what they're trying to stop here. The people of Alabasta haven't done anything wrong, so they don't deserve to die by Crocodile's hand.

Students nodded to what she said. These young heroes gasped when Luffy punched Vivi in the face.

"Then why are you putting your life on the line?!"

"Hey!" "Whoa!" "Too far, man!" Their panicked shouts mixed with the Straw Hats' as all they could so is watch, and yet... they don't feel angry at him for doing so.

They're future heroes. They have to put their life on the line for the citizens. They all have different reasons to be heroes, and that's what made sense to them.

"But why is Vivi doing this?" Izuku softly asked, keeping his eye on the scene.

Vivi pinned Luffy down and was going to strike him. The rubber man could tell what most needs to be done for the kingdom, but Vivi smacked him again and again.

Luffy doesn't believe that putting your single life on the line is enough, and she've asked what should she be putting on the line. A memory of Igaram came to her.

Luffy grabbed onto her wrists as she started to break down, believing she doesn't have anything else that she can put on the line.

Students grew silent over her words as Momo could feel tears brimming in her eyes. ...She doesn't feel like she's enough, despite her status. She... feels like she's alone in all of this, but...

"At least try putting all of our lives on the line together! Aren't we friends!?"

Vivi gasped, covering her mouth as tears ran down her face.

...She's not alone. Momo gently dabbed a tissue to her eyes, a gentle smile on her lips.

Luffy could tell that she hates this and wants to beat Crocodile up the most, as Nami came to her side to comfort her.

Now, they need to go to Crocodile.

"To Be Continued."

Though it was a little over midnight, Iida still made them clean up, both themselves and the floors, but to be fair, no one wants to sleep on snot tissued floors.

"I'm still worried about how all of this will end." Tsuyu hugged the Chopper plushie in comfort.

"I mean, I'm sure the Straw Hats will still be alive." Jiro said.

"What about the other characters?"

"No one important dies in the show unless they're in flashbacks." Katsuki said, sweeping away the tissues.

"Look, ignoring that for a moment," Aizawa started out. "Do you understand why Luffy had said all of that?"

His students grew silent, but Momo raised a hand. He nodded for her to answer.

"Because it's not realistic to believe that you have to do such a big task by yourself... that you can save everyone..."

...that it's okay to ask others for help? Izuku thought.

Everyone looked at her for the moment, but Hizashi chimed in, "If that's what you believe in..."

It wasn't an answer to them, but it was something they can understand.


Fun Fact #10: Aswa, Koza's mom, has the same Japanese voice actor, Yui Horie, as La Brava.

Fun Fact #11: Once again, Tetsu Inada, Endeavor's Japanese voice actor, has voiced another One Piece character; this time it's Mr. 1.

AN: I'm so happy that the fanfic has reached episode 100 of the anime. Can't believe that I made it this far, although I do admit that I wish I've done the reaction to the argument between Vivi and Luffy more justice, at least much less vague (if that's the right word for it) about the subject.

On a more serious note, FFNet and Ao3 are the only websites that have this fanfic on them, and only in english. While I do have accounts on other websites (Wattpad and Quotev, but there's nothing on those), Everyone Has Dreams is only on FFNet and Ao3, and only in english. If you see anyone uploading this fic without my permission, please report them (and don't harass them). I know there's one on Wattpad that's plagiarizing my fanfic called "Todo El Mundo Tiene Sueños" 'by' DarkLuffy104 since it doesn't mention me at all, and I've been trying to take it down, but nothing has happened yet about it.
