Should I? Really? Since overhearing the hero classes, Shinso felt himself going back and forth on this, on that he should watch that anime or not. He doesn't even understand why he wants to watch it. He's not obligated to, even if he might join one of the hero classes. and yet there's a part of him that does want to watch One Piece despite how ridiculously long it is. He even found himself looking at non-spoiler reviews of the live action version, which told him that this is surprisingly a good, condensed version of the anime. Still, he found himself reluctant to actually go through it.

I don't want to waste my time on all that. He reasoned himself, and yet here he is, staring at the One Piece poster, switching back and forth between the anime and the live action version.

"What's that?"

He jumbled his phone in his hand til he griped it on tightly. He turned to glare at the student behind him, and then stop.

Nejire Hadou seemed to be trying to look over his shoulder til he turned around, looking ever so curious at what's on his screen, while Tamaki Amajiki looked a bit alarmed. "You shouldn't be looking at other people's screens like that."

"I was just curious." Nejire simply chimed.

Shinso found himself a bit still, finding himself in the present of two of the Big Three. Still, his eyes looked down at his phone instead of them. "It's just some show I've heard about. Don't know if I want to watch or not."

Nejire clapped her hands together. "Oh, it sounds like fun. Are you going to watch it with friends?"

Noticing she's getting close, Shinso moved backwards for some space. "I said I'm not even sure if I'm going to watch it."

She took a step forward. "Oh, but it's still an option."

He took a step back. "An option I don't know if I should take."

"Nejire, I think you should get involved. Maybe he wants to watch it alone." He heard Tamaki say, but Nejire and Shinso found themselves traveling down the hallway, students soon staring at them.

"I'm just saying that it's more fun to watch something with friends? Oh, what about snacks? And fruit punch? It'll be like a party."

"I'm not a fan of parties- Oof!" Shinso was barely able to register the humming when someone bump into his back, causing him to drop his phone... right under Nejire's foot.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Nejire immediately apologized, but it was already too late. Shinso had heard the crunch from his phone, and seeing Nejire lift her foot away, it was obvious that his screen has been cracked.

Annoyance was clear on his face, hearing several apologies all around him by three different people.

Pink dreadlocks passed by him, and picked up his phone. "Wait, I can fix your baby!"

Baby? Almost immediately, Shinso was able to recognize her as that one girl at the School Festival who used her opponent as advertisement. That's not something you see everyday.

"I-I'll play for it." Nejire said, raising a hand.

Before Shinso could say anything, Hatsume immediately said, "I accept!"

The two left with his broken phone. Tamaki followed after them, but at least he said, "I'm sorry about all of this."

For a moment, Shinso stared. ...I guess I'll go to the Support Department after school.


On that Wednesday, Momo-created flags were waved, the Straw Hats' jolly roger printed on, as Class 1-A were here to cheered on the crew. Skipping 210's opening, recap, and title, the class could see that the Cutie Wagon, and the Straw Hats were heading towards the Long Coral Reef.

The Straw Hats were confuse on why the coral is sticking out like that, but Nami could tell that it's causing strange-acting currents, so they can't plunge in recklessly.

"Those currents look practically like whirlpools!" Mina exclaimed.

Porche was disgusted with how long this race has lasted, so her team has to trust Monda, while Itomimizu announced Foxy's desire to interfere.

"Seriously, what powers do you have?" Sero narrowed his eyes.

"Must be a long ranged attack." Izuku theorized.

The Straw Hats had to slow down by Nami's plan, allowing the Cutie Wagon to plunge into the coral reef, causing them to be spun back to the reef's entrance, as Nami expected.

"Oh, what are you guys planning?" Kirishima eagerly asked.

"Just speeding ahead should just be their plan." Iida wondered about their strategy through this.

Just as the Straw Hats managed to get inside, an arrow passed by, unleashing a blinding smoke, caused by Foxy himself.

"Of course..." Sato groaned.

The Straw Hats weren't able to continue on... at first. Suddenly, Foxy saw the Straw Hat boats come out, slipping through the forest of coral with ease as the Cutie Wagon was sent back once again.

"Whoa, how did they do that?" Denki asked, clearly impressed.

His question was answered by Nami, who explained that this is just a maze of sea currents, and there's a whirlpool up ahead that's causing the strange currents in the reef, full of smaller whirlpools. The current can take them to the right entrance.

"So, go with the flow," Hizashi concluded, giving the strategy a thumb's up. "Got it."

Usopp and Sanji cheered for her deductions as Foxy was furious.

Still, there was the giant whirlpool ahead, which Nami ordered Usopp to use an Impact Dial on it. He definitely doesn't want to, but the others forced him to do so.

With Robin's disembodied arms connecting with Sanji and Luffy's boat, Usopp used the dial in the water, sending them flying right out of the whirlpool, over the Long Cape... and Sanji and Luffy's boat crashed into the Long Cape while the other three landed in the waters.

"Come on, keep going!" Ochako cheered the three on, waving her little flag.

Usopp, Nami, and Robin were in the lead, encouraging Capote and Monda to combine to double their speed across the currents.

"You're kidding me!" Jiro complained.

"It does look painful." Izuku noted, wincing slightly.

The rest of the Straw Hats have to paddle the rest of the way there, though Robin commented that Usopp's arm is twisted in an odd direction (which most of the students wince at, especially Izuku).

Soon, they've discovered a course marker that told them to go right, which Nami knew was a fake, punching it out of the way, much to Foxy's shock.

"It's so obvious." Katsuki rolled his eyes.

Itomimizu thought Nami doesn't believe in anything and added 'foul-mouthed' when she chewed him out.

They're not in clear waters yet as the three Straw Hats practically flying in the air with the columns of water bursting from ocean. As they ignored the totally helpless and sick grandmother, the goal was within sight with the Cutie Wagon catching up.

"Go! Go!" Toru shouted as the other students cheered the Straw Hats on, waving their flags as they hoped for the best.

Then Nami punched the goal, revealing to be a fake.

"Okay, they got us good." Denki frowned, slumping in his seat.

"Oh god, we were tricked by Foxy." Jiro said with a horrified look.

Okay, while the real goal was within sight, Porche's team was tricked by the fake goal.

"Does that make you feel better." Shoji asked.

"No, it just means we're on their level." Sato sighed.

"Hey, not all of us fell for it." Mineta glared.

Nami would be too embarrassed to live if they lose to the Foxy Pirates-

"How do you think we feel?!" Kirishima cried out.

-while Porche and Capote cried out foul over the fake goal.

The Barrel Tiger reached the Long Bamboo Cape, and beyond that is the real goal, though the Cutie Wagon was approaching them soon.

Nami ordered Usopp to shoot down the bamboo, just in time for the Cutie Wagon to get a surprise attack from the falling bamboo, taking Capote out.

"Cutie Baton!" Porche spun her baton, summoning roses. "Flowers Shurikens!" Sending them to the three, the roses revealed to be throwing stars.

"What are you, a magical girl?" Denki gasped at the reveal.

Some past by them, but they definitely hit, making their boat spring a leak.

Still, they're so close to the goal, so Foxy has to do something about it.

"What trick do you have now?!" Sero complained.

Chopper can't see what's going on, Zoro's drinking, while Luffy and Sanji cheered on the remaining crew mate when one of Foxy's men commented on how they almost won, much to Luffy's confusion. One of Foxy's men clarified that Foxy's like him; a devil fruit user.

"No!" Toru cried out as the others could only watch what happens next.

"Noro Noro Beam." With a gesture of his hand, he send a beam at the Straw Hats, allowing the Cutie Wagon to win and the Foxy Pirates to gain a new crew mate.

"WHAT?!"

Robin, Nami, and Usopp were confused on how they lose until Luffy explained that Foxy made them slow down, which Foxy explain that it's with his Slowmo Photons.

"But that's like beyond unfair!" Mina shouted in frustration. "How is anyone suppose to win against that?!"

"Exactly." Aizawa sighed. "That must be why his crew has so many members if all he does is Davy Back Fights."

"Let's just hope the crew could find a way to get over that." Toshinori said.

Foxy demonstrated his abilities by using the Slowmo Photons on a cannonball shot at him, which slowed down without losing its momentum, and it lasts 30 seconds, then regain its original speed afterwards.

...Then the cannonball hit him.

"It's honestly a good ability." Izuku commented on, writing down Foxy's rules. "Sad to see it's being used like this.

"If a more competent opponent had this ability, surely they would had been in real trouble." Tokoyami said.

This is the reason why the Foxy Pirates are so confident about the game.

Since the victory foes to the Foxy Pirates, they chosen Chopper.

"No!" The girls and Koda screamed out in horror, seeing the young doctor forced to be with the Foxy Pirates.

"It's worst than I thought!" Toru cried out.

"You guys better win him back!" Mina snapped at the remaining Straw Hats.

Usopp panicked as Chopper had to put on a mask and to pledge loyalty to Foxy.

"How dare you!" Ochako shouted, seeing the reindeer cry.

He cried out to the Straw Hats, how he wanted to sail with them and not the Foxy Pirates, but...

Zoro put his foot (bottle) down, telling Chopper that he's being a poor sport. Since he's the one who decided to set sail, so he can't blame anyone if he ended ip dying somewhere. They agreed to this game, and tried their best, so no one in the pirate world would sympathize with his teats.

"A real man... would roll up his sleeves and watch the rest of the contest quietly."

"So manly..." Kirishima admired, ignoring the tenseness from the girls and Koda.

Nami thought he was being awful, but Chopper manned up, steeling himself, as Zoro's words had brought cheers from Foxy's men, Usopp, and Luffy.

All Sanji knows that they have to bring back their precious emergency food... and then some.

"Come on, you guys!" Bring him back!" "You guys better do it!" The girls were the loudest on their cheers, frantically waving their flags.

As they moved onto the second round, Usopp realized that Chopper can't be in the game and fight for them, but they can't change their roster or replace their missing teammate, so only two Straw Hats contestants can participate in the Groggy Ring.

"That's unfair!" Toru shouted.

"But it's the way of the Davy Back Fights, I guess." Momo sighed, shaking her head.

With Zoro and Sanji moving onto the field, Nami was in disbelief in the idea of the two working as a team... Then they started to fight.

"Hey, no, there's no time to fight. Save Chopper!" Ochako shouted.

"I mean, that was funny." Denki snickered.

Itomimizu explained that in Groggy Ring that there's a field and two goal, so you have to knock the balls in the goals and you win.

"So, football." Aizawa said.

"The international kind." Hizashi felt like he had to clarified, for some reason.

But the twist is that the balls are people, so one person from each tam has to be a ball.

"Well, I guess that's different from football." Toshinoshi sweatdropped.

Zoro immediately made Sanji the ball, who was forced to wear the ball mark.

Then the Foxy Pirates' undefeated players of Groggy Ring were shown: "Full Dash" Hamburg, "Tackle Machine" pickles, and Big Pan the wontan.

"That's literally unfair!" Sero growled.

"But they are members of the Foxy Pirates." Shoji sighed.

The Straw Hats were shocked by this, but Zoro and Sanji seemed confident.

"To Be Continued."

"You better win!" Ochako shouted, and soon, she was backed by the other girls and Koda with flags waving around. They guys could only sweatdrop at this.


Skipping episode 211's opening, recap, and title, they could see Sanji and Zoro were introduced while Pickles laughed at them.

There was a coin toss with the Foxy Pirates winning on tails, so they get to choose either field or ball. They chosen ball, as Itomimizu explained that they have to knock the opponent's ball man into the opponent's ring and you win.

"How are you suppose to knock a giant into a ring?" Jiro said out of frustration.

"Exactly, no normal person can't." Izuku sighed.

"Luckily, Zoro and Sanji aren't normal." Ochako grinned.

Zoro ordered Sanji to get into position, but the cook didn't like his attitude or how he's the ball. Zoro pretended to think the ball looks good on him, but Sanji, of course, didn't fall for it.

Hizashi snickered with some of the other students. "It could had been worst."

Luffy cheered them on, Usopp cried, Nami can't believe there's a wotan, and Robin noted that they're not as large as pureblooded giants.

Foxy laughed, smug about how his team is a Groggy Ring expert, but Luffy didn't care, so the Split Head fell to his knees once more. Anyway, Foxy was so smug that he doesn't believe he has to interfere with this game. Nami was shock to learn that interference is allowed for every game.

"Then what's the point if you can just cheat?" Toru groaned.

"To be fair, wouldn't we do anything to win?" Izuku said, reminding her of the school festival.

"But to cheat?" Iida looked appalled at such a thing.

"...Wasn't she shirtless for one of the events?" Shoji pointed up.

"Yeah, well-"

"You did that to win, or at least attempt." Izuku said, which Toru can't disagree with.

How can you survive as a seafaring pirate if you can't handle a bit of interference?

Toru let out an angry, little huff as Kirishima sighed, "I guess he's right. This goes beyond the school festival."

To try to push the Straw Hats around, Foxy has to mention the 'team' of Zoro and Sanji, and even Nami could see it, seeing the two arguing.

"Choose already, save Chopper!" Mina demanded, but Sero can't help but to snicker, "But it's kind of funny."

Nami managed to fix this by claiming that the ball looks good on the cook, while Zoro thought he looked like a prince... of Moronica.

"See, it's funny!" Denki laughed at the two fighting, though the girls and Koda weren't that amused at this.

Usopp demanded the they start the game, but the referee claimed that weapons are against the rules, so Zoro has to lose the swords.

He's fine with it, but Sanji thought a swordsman without swords is just a worthless wimp.

"You can think of a better comeback." Jiro rolled her eyes at the two fighting once again, but some of the guys still laughed at the whole scene.

Anyway, the game was about to start with some difficulty since Big Pan can't hear his teammates, still they laughed.

Zoro note that they'll win if they knock Big Pan into the other ring and vise vera.

At the blow of the whistle, the game began, Pickles tried to tackle Sanji, but the cook used him as a platform to jump all the way to Pan's head for a kick. Sadly, that had been sidelined when Sanji found himself sliding on Pan's arm since Pan has loach origins.

"Oh, now you're fucking with me!" Jiro shouted, banging a hand onto her lap.

Zoro and Sanji argued, giving Hamburg the chance to run past Zoro and for Pan to smack Sanji towards the ring.

"No, you have to get Chopper back!" Toru cried.

"...And make sure the other crew mates don't get picked off." Ojiro sweatdropped.

"I hope it isn't one of the girls." Mineta hoped.

Ziri chased after Sanji, but Pickles tackled Zoro, allowing Hamburg to catch Sanji midair and throw him towards the ring.

Zoro tried to intercept, but Pickles stopped him with a Spinning Tackle, which also sent Sanji flying skyward when hit.

"This is a nightmare!" Katsuki complained, listening to the girls and Koda's agonized groans of this.

Big Pan was able to get Hamburg flying to Sanji to catch him, blood spurting from the cook. They're within range of the ring.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Do something, you two!" Denki screamed with Usopp and Luffy.

Suddenly, Zoro tried to lift up one of Pickles's legs. Just as Hamburg and Sanji neared the ring, Zoro spun Pickles around and threw him towards the ring. Meanwhile, Sanji grabbed onto Hamburg's arms, kicking him right into Pickles' just so Zoro doesn't snub him.

"Yes!" Students cheered, even it ended on a 'no goal.'

"I knew you wouldn't let yourself be thrown around." Jiro let out a sigh of relief.

After the eyecatches, the Foxy Pirates were surprised as the other Straw Hats cheered the two on. Still, the two had time to argue, despite Itomimizu's praise.

"See, these guys aren't a bunch of chumps!" Sero grinned widely at the Foxy Pirates' dishearten expressions, while others laughed at Zoro and Sanji's bickering and name calling.

Itomimizu pointed this out, but Luffy thought it was funny while Usopp called out that the two should gang up on the ball guy and knock him into the ring.

That chance had a rocky start when Big Pan already had released a surprise attack: trying to stomp him.

As they ran, Zoro noticed the big guy has blades under his shoes, which Sanji pointed out. The referee pretended not to see.

"Oh, fuck you!" Katsuki shouted as the others cried out foul as well.

Sanji threw his shoe at him.

Nami and Usopp tried to stop him as Sanji yelled at the referee, earning him a yellow card.

"Why can't we get a middle man in this?" Iida sighed.

"How are they going to get a middle man out in the middle of nowhere." Izuku sweatdropped.

Once he's done yelling, Sanji tried to figure out a away against hBig Pan's weapons (who has added an exe to his arsenal). Sanji pointed this out to the ref, but of course, he doesn't 'notice.'

Usopp told him not to get angry, so Luffy want to beat him up instead. Usopp had to stop him as well.

Once Nami encouraged Sanji, the cook gave her a pose of love, and ran back to the game... only to run away from Big Pan again.

"Come on, think of something!" Mina shouted, waving her flag more.

Sanji and Zoro realize they have to to some, heading straight for Pan. Sanji noticed that they can't attack where his slippery skin is exposed, leaving his hands, feet, mask, and trunks.

Izuku nodded, trying to figure out a plan, as Mineta hoped, "Don't aim for the trunks... Don't aim for the trunks..."

Suddenly, Pan slide against the field, forcing the two to jump, and Zoro had to slip down against his back. Standing up, Pan forced Zoro to slip down while Sanji managed to gracefully skate down, but soon, they were stuck in a loop once Pan made his body into a ring.

"...This really is a circus." Aizawa stared at the scene, dumbfounded, as some of this students were either snickering at the sight or groaning in disappointment.

Soon, Pickles and Hamburg were back on the field, but now with weapons of their own, which the referee just happened to have his back turned at that moment.

While there were definitely frustrated students at this, there were some snickers at this.

"What's the point of the referee when he's not going to do his job?" Ochako pouted.

"To give out cards, I guess." Kirishima shrugged.

Big Pan launched Zoro and Sanji into the air, allowing Hamburg to jump off of Pickles's spinning attack and aim for Zoro for a sharp strike down, but that wasn't end of it with Big Pan and Hamburg preparing for an attack.

"You're kidding me!" Jiro griped.

"Punk Attack!" Pan slammed down Hamburg straight down, his iron guards striking Zoro in the gut, blood spurting from his mouth.

"Zoro!" Students screamed in horror, even more so when Sanji was open for an attack by the three Foxy members.

"You're not even aim for the goal. They're just trying to kill them." Momo covered her mouth in horror. She knew the Foxy Pirates would do anything to win, but it doesn't sit right with her that they would go this far.

From the dust, Zoro and Sanji tried to stand, but... they fell.

A bitter taste was left in their mouths, hearing the Foxy Pirates cheer.

"This... This can't be the end." Kirishima gritted, but there was a glimmer of hope for them.

Opening his eyes, Zoro asked Sanji to lend him a hand for ten seconds, and Sanji agreed.

"To Be Continued."

You better win. Jiro mentally sighed, anxious for the next episode, but at the same time, she had hope that despite their differences, those two are able to work together for their crew.


After skipping episode 212's opening, recap, and title, the class could see that the Foxy Pirates could see that Zoro and Sanji are still, able to stand despite it all. At this, Foxy ordered a 'Monster Burger' from the three, much to the other members' shock.

"Oh, god, it is truly terrible?" Ochako was worried about their reaction. These guys were basically doing anything to win, but this was the one that made them shock.

Despite the shock, Foxy's men cheered. Hamburg rummaged through his pants for two big clubs while Pickles pulled out two cutlasses from his.

"Jesus, don't you care about your junk?" Mineta grimaced.

Still, the others were in a mixture of horror and anger of the three just freely using their weapons despite the rules, but hey, the ref just happened to have his back turned at this moment.

Luffy wants to beat him up ("Agreed! Let him do it!), but Nami and Usopp had to stop him, telling him to just grin and bear it.

"Come on, it's like what Shanks had done before." Kirishima said.

"Yeah, when it's towards him, not his friends." Mina corrected him.

The three Foxy Pirates went after Sanji, but he'll be the one to cook them.

"Troisième..." Sanji backflipped til he was able to rapidly kick Hamburg in the face, falling. "...Haché!" Still, Sanji doesn't end it, continuing his kicks, including a stamp on the head.

"Bouquetière..." The cook lands on his hands, springing upwards to deliver a blow right in Hamburg's chin. "...Shoot!"

"That's it!" Jiro grinned widely as everyone cheered wildly, waving flags, while Izuku quickly took down notes.

Pickles was absolutely shock as Hamburg was sent flying into Pan's pans, flatten like paper.

Pickles tried to take revenge, spinning his blades, but Zoro held him back, reminding him that this is a team battle.

Just as Pickles swung his cutlass down, Zoro closed his eyes. "Mutoryu... Tatsu... Maki!" Pickles bounced off of Zoro, sending him flying into Big Pan, slicing right into him.

"What was that?" Tokoyami looked amazed.

"I don't know, but it was so cool!" Denki's eyes gleamed at the technque.

As Pan fall, Sanji appeared behind him. "Anti-Manner..." He kicked straight into Pan's back, practically sending a shockwave. "...Kick Course!"

"Finally, something's going right!" Katsuki grinned.

Zoro charges in, after Big Pan. Pickles dared him to past him, but Sanji kicked him out of the war and right into the referee.

"Ha! That's for 'turning your back!'" Hizashi laughed.

The ref couldn't believe it, trying to give him a red card for purposely hurting him, but he found his cards and whistle are gone, courtesy of Nami.

"All of you deserved that one." Denki was pumped as the others eagerly awaited for their win.

Zoro charged in after Sanji, making Itomimizu believe they're going to argue, but in actuality, Sanji gave the swordsman a lift. "Armée de l'Air Power Shoot!" That kick allowd Zoro to grab onto Pan's head, making him fall right into the ring.

A loud cheer erupted at Itomimizu's "GOAL!"

"Finally! We won something!" Toru cried out.

After the eyecatches, the remaining Straw Hats cheered as some of the Foxy Pirartes were impressed as well, but Foxy complained, frustrated in all of this.

"Yeah, cry, bitch!" Jiro shouted.

Nami managed to trick the ref into blowing the final whistle since he thought it was for the foul, so the Groggy Ring match is over. The Straw Hats rejoiced, much to the ref's shock, as they've been made the winners.

Luffy was proud of Zoro and Sanji while the cook seek praises from the girls, and Usopp hit the swordsman for scaring him.

"Great, now we can get Chopper back." Ochako gleamed as Itomimizu announced that the Straw Hats can swipe a member of the Foxy Pirates or their symbol. It's Luffy's choice.

A drumroll played as the other Foxy Pirates members were certain that they're going to get picked with Chopper begging for Luffy to hurry up.

"Seriously, we don't need to spend time on these extras." Katsuki rolled his eyes.

Before Luffy could choose, Nami stopped him, reminding him that Foxy will probably be in the next round, and it would be difficult with his Devil Fruit powers. She suggestto take Foxy for now, so they could have the upper hand since taking Chopper now would mean the Foxy Pirates would try to steal him again if they win the next round.

"That's quite ingenious." Izuku nodded, wide eyes.

"No, Chopper's not going to come back to them?!" Toru cried out.

Itomimizu announced this possibility for everyone to hear, and they called it the peanut strategy, calling them low and 'Peanutters' and 'Peanuts.'

"As if you were fighting them fair and square before." Toyoyami glared at them.

"You really have the gaul to call them out on that." Mina pouted, seeing how much of a big deal the Foxy Pirates were making out of this.

Nami didn't like their name calling, While Usopp agreed on the plan, Zoro was beaten up for calling her out on it, quickly quieting the Foxy Pirates.

Still, this is Luffy's choice as the Foxy Pirate members-

"Stop it with the extras!" Katsuki shouted, annoyed with the gag.

The two captains stared at each other as Foxy was absolutely certain that Luffy will pick him... but Robin mentioned that Foxy will be part of their crew, and despite the overwhelming advantage, the guys quickly disagreed on Nami's proposal.

Hizashi barked up a laugh as a few other students chuckled at the reason, though there are a few who sighed in frustration.

"But it was a rather sound plan." Iida shook his head.

"But it's Foxy." Denki tried to resist a snicker.

Foxy was so depressed that this encouraged his crew to teach the Straw Hats a lessons, reminding him of his true comrades.

"What? You guys kept calling them 'Peanuts' just for suggesting the idea." Ojiro complained.

Luffy decided to take Shelly back.

...

"Was Shelly part of Foxy's crew before?" Todoroki asked in confusion as the girls visually fumed at this.

"She was captured by them." Koda shrugged.

"Well, at least the Foxy Pirates can't win back Chopper now." Tokoyami sweatdropped.

Usopp and Nami pulled on his face, complaining about how he should had chosen Chopper instead, but Luffy gave Shelly back to Tonjit, so they could be together.

The old man asked if Zoro and Sanji are fine, and they are... as they fight. He appreciate their efforts as Nami and Usopp understood why Luffy had done it.

"Alright, Luffy, you get a pass just this once." Still, Mina slightly pouted, saying that.

Tonjiti want to treat them to cheese at his place, but, of course, Usopp refused. Still, the old man thanked them, but asked about Chopper.

Nami reminded Luffy to consider Chopper's feelings, so Luffy turned to him, apologizing and promising to win him back.

Chopper manned up, trying not to cry anymore.

"Yeah, you hang in there!" Kirishima encouraged.

"Luffy, you have to win him back!" Toru exclaimed.

The crew were prepared for the next round as it ended on a "To Be Continued."

While he's grateful that they're skipping the filler, Katsuki had to complain, Oh god, there's still more of this shit.


"Oh, this was from the anime he was looking at?" He could hear Nejire from the other side of one of the door of the Support Department.

"Yeah, this little baby was from One Piece." He could hear Hatsume sniffle a bit. "I had the show on 5 times the speed, but when the blue haired guy showed her off, I had to go back and watch it again in normal speed, and recreate her."

Maybe I should come back tomorrow. I can live without a phone for a day, right? Shinso considered, and that's only because he could feel that something is going to start between those two, something he knew he doesn't want to get involved in.

"Five times the speed?!" Nejire had exclaimed. "How could you pay attention to anything? Is it your quirk?"

"Not exactly, it's just that Yaoyorozu showed me this anime weapon I had never seen before, and it inspired me to recreate their babies, but the anime is so crazy long, so I had speed it up if I want anything done. When something interests me, I'll stop and replay the scene on normal to take notes."

"But don't you want to see why they're inspired to make those weapons? You got to see their passion. Do you even know what they're saying during that speed?"

"I guess you're right. I liked this blue haired man with the metal nose."

Alright, I should really be leaving now. Shinso reminded himself. Despite his desire to avoid socializing, it seems like the world had other plans for him.

Just as he turn, Shinso managed to avoid bumping into someone once he notice a glimpse of blond hair... but that involved backing away, his back hitting the door, creating a loud noise.

"Are you okay?" The blond boy let out a light laugh, seemingly amused that he surprised him.

Of course it's Togata. Shinso thought, noticing that the blond wasn't wearing his school uniform.

Behind Mirio, Tamaki gave him an apologetic look. "Did you get your screen fixed yet?"

Before Shinso could speak, he nearly feel as the door behind him open.

"Oh, you're here!" Nejire gave a delighted look. "Just when I came up with a fun idea."

"...Idea?" Shinso repeated, and a part of him could guess what it is.

Nejire's eyes seemed to light up when she noticed Mirio. "You know how we're trying to introduce Eri to anime, right?"

Mirio nodded, looking rather eager. "Yeah, it would be great to have her try out different things."

"I found the anime!"

"Can I get my phone back?" Shinso raised a hand, hoping to get out of here soon.

"Of course, but first, you got to see the baby I made." He could see Hatsume wave a gloved hand over to her.

Shinso hoped to just speed right in, grab his phone, and get out of here as soon as possible, but he was a bit distracted by the little boat with the sheep figurehead.

"How adorable!" Mirio exclaimed, getting closer to the little ship. "Did you made this one?"

"Easily, it's not really hard to create a steam engine and paddles. I was thinking about giving this baby some upgrades though."

"And it's from that anime?" Tamaki quietly asked.

"Yup!"

"See, Eri should watch it if it has cute designs like this."

"When does it appear?" Shinso found himself asking. He could remember the figurehead of a boat like this during his searching, but he's certain that it wasn't that small.

Nejire turned Hatsume for answers, and she hummed in thought. "I think I saw it in... the 300s..."

"300?!" Tamaki panicked a bit. "I'm not sure if Eri could handle that many episodes."

"Actually, it's a lot more than that." Shinso grumbled, that total number still clear in his mind.

"But there must had been children who watched it before and were able to follow the story. There's a reason why an anime went on that long, and it's usually with its fans." Mirio reasoned. "Maybe we should give it a try, or at least if Eri wants to watch it."

"Let's make it a little watch party." Nejire's eyes seemed to gleamed at the idea, and Shinso tried to scan the area for his phone, but it was already too late once Nejire turned to him. "Would you like to join us? You were the one who mentioned it."

Shinso avoided eye contact. "Not really. You were just looking at my phone." He narrowed his eyes. "Can I just get my phone?"

"Right!" Pulling his phone out of her pocket, Hatsume hand it to him. "Come to me when you need anything-phones, equipment, anything- to get fixed and improved."

"...Alright." Shinso was quick to pocket his phone, and try to leave, though he did hear Mirio say, "That offer is still open!"

Shinso finally decided to leave as he could hear Nejire say, "Oh, Hatsume, you're invited to come too!"

I'm not here to make friend. I'm not here to make friends. Shinso tried to remind himself over and over again, but there was some part of him that wanted to go, just to see what it's like.


AN: Imagine watching One Piece as your first anime. ...I feel like that must had happened, right? Anyway, I'm glad that I finally figured out how to get the Big Three and Eri into watching One Piece; involve Shinso into it! Honestly, my first idea was to somehow have Hatsume convince Shinso into watching the show with her, but including the Big Three and Eri into the mix seemed to be a lot more fun, though I can't really tell if it's the smoothest transition I could had tried. Still, it was fun to write.
