John stood on the deck of the Black Cat Pirates ship with a bruised pirate nearby looking at the horizon. "So, tell me some of the interesting things that happened in East Blue," John asked the shivering/scared pirate.

The questioned pirate shuddered, "Um...! That..." and scratched his head nervously/thoughtfully. "Odd job company started a door-to-door delivery facility," he began.

John nodded, 'According to Logbook 'I' started it,' to continue. "... um...! There were many events organized by the theme park 'Blasting Off' on Conomi Island... it has hefty rewards..." the pirate told yearningly.

John raised his brows at the mention of Conomi Island, "What about the Arlong Pirates?" and questioned calmly. 'Whatever! 'I' have totally thrashed the Canon and dispersed it... so no changes can surprise me,' and thought inwardly.

"Huh?" the pirate snapped back to his senses. "Oh! For some unknown reason... there was a war between Arlong Pirates and Trump Pirates... they scuffled nearly for two years... Then Warlord Jinbe suddenly appeared causing Arlong pirates to turn tail and escape in fear/guilt." he revealed. 'See, everything is alright,' John comforted.

"After the pirates left, a rich businessman arrived and proposed to turn Arlong Park into a real Theme Park. After getting approval from the Islander and Jinbe, he built the theme park that accepts both Fishman and humans," the pirate spoke in awe.

"Theme park? Really? Who is this businessman?" John asked curiously, highly suspicious that he must be somehow related to this man's appearance.

"Erm... Don't know!" the pirate shrugged. "But his company is called 'Goblin' something... I can't remember," the pirate scratched his head blankly. John couldn't recall anyone with this name, so he shrugged and motioned to continue.

"Umm!" the pirate paled and thought hard. "Oh yeah! I heard rumors that East Blue overlord, Buggy the clown left for the Grand line!" the pirate exclaimed.

*cough* *cough* "Are you kidding?!" John stared at the pirate, bewildered. "Buggy? Overlord?" he exclaimed in disbelief. 'That's something I never expect,' he muttered.

'Is this also somehow related to me?' John wondered. "but I haven't met him yet!" he muttered.

The pirate looked confused before he could voice out. "Sail Ho!" there was a cry from the crow's nest, getting our attention. He pointed at the horizon, as we also spotted a ship's sail... nearing us to reveal a pirate ship.

There was a commotion among the crew, as they were confused about what to do. So, they collectively looked at John, who was leading them for a 'Revolution'. John's mouth twitched in annoyance, at the information he got from tortu-*ahem* asking the pirate, about his 'past self' proclamation of overthrowing a kingdom, destroying some company, organization, etc., and 'Brainwashed' these pirates to so-called Pirate Haven to get reinforcement? He gets a headache just thinking about the consequences.

'I don't know in what mentality the 'I' came to this conclusion during my Re-Zero,' John muttered. 'It's all Garp's fault,' he raged, for giving him an additional problem. John named his blank state Re-Zero...? What the hell?

Just when the pirates are nervous/impatient, Jango arrives. "What's the commotion is about? Huh?" he yelled. "Captain is resting!" he warned.

After spotting the ship on the horizon, "Who's ship is that?" he questioned.

"It seems… it belongs... to Don Krieg's Armada!" the pirate in the crow's nest stammered.

"Don Krieg?!" Jango shrieked. "Don't worry! They won't bother us unless we enter their territory," Jango calmed the crowd. 'And you believe it?' John rolled his eyes.

Hearing this, the crowd stood there in an awkward silence. Slowly realizing, "Where are we? Where are you going?" Jango stammered.

"We are going to the Teqila Wolf, and are already in its water," the navigator replied.

"WHAT!?" Jango yelled. "Why are we going there? Turn around!" he roared.

The 'brainwashed' pirates looked at each other unwillingly. "It's too late!" a pirate muttered. "To reach the destination quickly, we strapped all the looted Jet Ski to the ship and made them pull the ship," he explained.

"You did what? Do you know how difficult it is to loot those rides?" Jango roared. "Forget it! Whose plan is it? Why are we going there?" he demanded.

The pirates looked at each other, "Him!" they pointed at John.

Jango pointed, "Him?" at John's back. The crew nodded. "Yo! Bro…?" Jango began, "What's his name?" and whispered/asked a nearby pirate.

"It's… don't know!" the pirate replied blankly. Jango stared at him in disbelief, then found everyone had the same expression. Knowing he couldn't get any answers from them, he walked towards John.

"Haha… haha! Are you angry that we left you to fight the enemy alone? Don't worry! It's just a test for the newcomer..." Jango patted John's shoulder kindly. "You passed it excellently... Bro... Squirrel Face...?" Jango praised, confused.

Jango stared at John's maskless face in bewilderment... and John's exposed appearance shocked Jango. Huge nostrils, monkey cheeks, buck teeth, and butt chin... an extremely ugly face.

John gave Jango a murderous glare and asked, "What. did. you. Say?" word by word. Meanwhile, he was laughing inwardly, thinking, 'He must be shocked at my appearance! Bio-Feedback is extremely useful in disguising,' John thought.

Knowing John's strength, Jango controlled his urge to laugh. "Why are we HERE!?" Jango asked.

John stared at him for a while, causing Jango to tense. "Isn't it obvious?! To get help to overthrow a kingdom," John replied matter-of-factly with a 'go with the flow' mentality.

"Are you serious?" Jango roared.

Ignoring Jango, "Come on Boys! Get ready to welcome our 'Ally'!" John yelled at the crew who prepared to receive the oncoming ship, ignoring Jango.

Angered, Jango took out his weapon. "Bastards! When I say '1,2, Jango!' Everyone will listen to me," he yelled, dangling his Chakra ring. Not noticing the 'Ally' ship docking parallel to their ship.

The pirates ignored Jango and nervously looked at the figure staring at them from the ship. "What is your... 1...! 2...! Jango...!" the figure began but got interrupted by Jango. Surprised, John stared at Jango's chakra ring and the figure standing at the opposite ship alternatively and grinned maliciously.

"What...? What should I do?" Jango asked, dazed, hypnotizing himself. Taking this opportunity, "Ask that man to take us to Tequila Wolf!" John whispered to Jango.

Suddenly, a huge figure landed in front of Jango, startling everyone. It's a man wearing a huge pearl shield on his torso, and a similar small shield on his limbs.

"Pearl!" John muttered silently. Yeah! This is the idiotic Second in command of Kreig Pirates- Pearl.

"Take us to Tequila Wolf!" Jango ordered Pearl bluntly, shocking the crew.

"Okay!" Pearl nodded dumbly and gestured to the people on the other ship. The crew looked at Jango in awe.

John smacked his hands excitedly. 'As I guessed! This idiot also got hypnotized,' and cheered. After that, the confused crew of both ships sailed toward Tequila Wolf.

Excited, John rushed back to his room to pack his things and escape after reaching Tequila Wolf. Just when he opened the cabin door, he was startled to find the bandaged Kuro in front of him.

Staggered by John's intrusion, Kuro yelled, "Who are... *Gack*!" as John punched his stomach, knocking him out. "*Phew* If he goes out, he will disrupt the plan!" John muttered and casually dragged the nearby pirate and entrusted Kuro to him.

John looked up at the huge bridge, extending into the distance in awe/excitement. The huge stone/concrete arcs between the columns and the snow covering the top of the bridge were mesmerizing. The area near the bridge is bustling with activity. On the way here, many pirate ships are patrolling. Hearing the pirates' exclamation, John learned they were the fleets of notorious pirates of East Blue like Don Krieg Pirates, Trump Pirates, Eldoraggo Pirates, Arlong Pirates, Alvida Pirates... John blinked in confusion. 'Why are these pirates gathered together? Am I also somehow responsible for their gathering? Am I also a secret leader of this place?' John panicked when he thought about it.

The ship neared one of the Bridge's columns, and surprisingly, there was a town at the base of the columns... a floating town. People have used stranded ships or their parts to construct most of the buildings. John even spotted some structures on the columns. Amazed, he got excited at this new place that was totally unknown to him, which means... Adventure. 'I'm totally climbing that column and jump from that bridge,' John muttered.

As the ship slowly docked and anchored at the port, Pearl got out of Jango's control after being repeatedly hypnotized. He blinked and shook his head in confusion and looked at the Black cat pirates looking at the town in shock. "YOU!" He bellowed, getting their attention. "What have you done to ME!?" Pearl raged, glaring at the cowering Black cat pirates.

"It's HIM!" they betrayed Jango. Jango paled in shock, "No!... I didn't… It's not…!" he rattled his head in denial and was also hurt by the crew's betrayal. He sighed in defeat as he saw Pearl approaching him murderously, but he steeled his heart and picked his weapon determined.

Just then a man rushed here hurriedly, "Commander Pearl! You arrived just in time," he panted. "Those LIGHT Bastards are making trouble again!" he growled.

Pearl's eyes widened in anger. "Those greedy bastards!" he spat. "Let's go! And find what those money-grubbers want!" he waved angrily.

Before Jango could relax, "Bring him with me! Loot the ship and take the rest of them to Hyenas!" he ordered, jumping on the port.

Well, John has already sneaked out at this point. The fate of Black Cat pirates is not his concern. As John stepped landed, he could feel the floor bobbing along with the waves. A true floating Town. He wandered the town and found 'ordinary' people, to his surprise. They open stores or do some jobs in this criminal-infested town. He stood in front of a bustling building, "Best place to gather information," and muttered, entering the bar 'Goblin's Pint'.

Ignoring the sneaky glances, John bought 'some' food. He sat on a random table and began gobbling the food, earning surprised glances for the amount of food and how they were disappearing into his stomach.

Meanwhile, he concentrated on his hearing to gather intelligence. From the info he gathered, this Haven functions 'normally' because of the joint effort of seven groups namely, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Metal, Light, Dark. 'Huh…?! What the Hell! Is this place really run by me? Who else can create 'this' kind of group other than me? Or he must be a fan of Naruto!' John thought helplessly.

Whatever, now back to the point, each of these groups is responsible for something practical for this place. Eavesdropping on a Fishman's bragging, John learned that Arlong leads a group- that operates on Maritime, Sea patrol, Ambushing Enemies, etc. anything related to sea. As for other groups, there is not enough information.

[Where Are You Going?] Bag-E's voice sounded suddenly. "Fuck!" startling me.

"Damn! I forgot about the earpiece," John grumbled, sitting back again, ignoring the stares.

[I'm surprised!] Bag-E commented on John's memory.

"Shut it! I'm busy don't distract me," John hissed, as he paid and rushed out towards the column's base.

[Answer me!] Bag-E demanded.

Rolling his eyes, "Isn't it obvious?! I'm climbing the bridge," John replied. "Besides! I think there is something wrong with you, after connecting with the Re-Call!" he mumbled, glancing at the bracelet suspiciously.

[...I'm perfectly fine!] Bag-E quibbled.

"Whatever!" John shrugged.

As John neared the bridge's column, the area became crowded, as if they were watching a show. Looking at the tightly packed crowd, he looked around and spotted poles planted randomly, which provided lightning to the town shadowed by the bridge. Grinning mischievously, he climbed it and squatted on its top, "Hehehe! Am I cool? Like Itachi? Or should I stand on it?" John muttered.

Meanwhile, at the center of the crowd, two groups were confronting each other, one group- led by Pearl (of Krieg Pirates), and another group- led by Golass (of Eldoraggo Pirates).

After staring at each other, "What do you want? Light! Bastards!" Pearl demanded.

"Isn't it obvious?! It's Money!" Glass replied bluntly.

Narrowing his eyes in anger, he said, "And why should we give it to you?" Pearl asked hostility.

"Just because… Maybe! Lights will visit your other shops!" Golass replied/threatened.

"Try it! And see whether the weapons you get won't malfunction/break quickly," Pearl retorted, not taking the threat seriously.

Narrowing his eyes, Golass scoffed, "I will also see who buys weapons from you after the TAXES are added," obviously indicating he would increase the taxes.

Gritting his teeth angrily, "Just because you are in charge of Finance you have no right to ask for tax whenever you want," Pearl growled.

"Rights? We are pirates! Who cares about that?!" Golass sneered.

Pearl breathed heavily and controlled his anger. "Fine! We will pay, but this is the last time or face the wrath of 5000 Don Krieg pirates," he threatened.

Golass flinched at this threat and nodded in understanding. Suddenly Pearl swung his shield at Golass *CLANG* who blocked it with his large Katana. "Heh! I knew you, Meathead, won't be honest," Golass sneered.

Enraged at his failed attack, Pearl continues his assault *clang* *thunk* *screech* which was blocked by Golass. Caught off-guard by the sudden fight, the crowd panicked and scattered, while the respective groups exchanged clashes.

"Hahaha! Behold My invincible Iron wall!" Pearl mocked as he ignored Golass's attack and focused on bashing him. "Don't bother! My shield can withstand an attack from Battleship cannon," he mocked Golass.

"I will cut it!" Golass yelled and attacked Pearl vigorously.

Ignoring the commotion below, John was engrossed in his own world of jumping from one pole to another for fun…? "How is this pose? Aren't I cool?" John questioned.

[Anyway, you are going to be disrupted before you act cool] Bag-E replied blandly.

"What do you say?! Damn it! I'm going to succeed this time," John huffed as he swung a horizontal rod to land on the pole in front of him.

Just as he let go of his hand, Golass dodged Pearl's attack, which hit that pole and breaking it. "Huh? Are you for REAL!" John yelled as he fell *thunk*

The fight paused automatically as everyone gawked at the incredible sight of an ugly-looking man squatting on Pearl's head effortlessly.

[You are looking cool now] Bag-E commented mercilessly.

"Damn it!" John cursed and looked at the culprit that broke the pole in a rage.

[Don't cause commotion! Or you may not be able to climb the bridge] Bag-E suggested.

John calmed to hear this, "Stupid Idiot! Don't go smashing things randomly," he chided. "Fortunately, it's me that was standing on the pole, otherwise it would be fatal," he muttered before jumping onto the nearest building, causing Pearl to smack his face into the shield he held. Recovered, Pearl blankly touched his nosebleed. Seeing this, the pirates with Pearl panicked and tried to persuade Pearl for something in fear.

"AARRGGHH! Blood! I'm in Danger! I'm in Danger! I'm in Danger!" Pearl screamed and smashed his shields continuously, creating a wall of fire around him. Golass dodged back in surprise, not knowing whether to laugh or panic at Pearl's situation.

Unconcerned about the situation he caused, "Stupid Bastards! I will take care of them for disrupting my awesome moment…" John grumbled and entered the nearby window.

The occupants watching the commotion were startled by John's intrusion and drew their weapons to defend themselves. Noticing the familiar appearance of the occupants, John was surprised, "Johnny?! Yosaku?!" that he blurted out. 'What are they doing here? Shouldn't they be in a Rock... and blasted by Usopp? Ha! Am I kidding? After so many changes, did I expect it to happen the same as Canon?! It won't be interesting!' he lamented/excitedly.

"Huh?/Hmm?" Johnny/Yosaku exclaimed in surprise. "How do you know our name?" Johnny demanded.

"Yeah! We have not used our original name since we arrived here!" Yosaku nodded.

"And we don't remember meeting you," Johnny added.

Calming down, "Does it matter?" John shrugged. "I just know," he replied, somewhat satisfied with the shocked look on their face.

Johnny and Yosaku froze. "It can't be!" Johnny muttered in disbelief.

"It seems to be!" Yosaku gasped.

"Why are you guys speaking in riddles?" John scowled. "I'm busy! I want to climb that bridge," he muttered.

"Sure enough!" Johnny exclaimed as Yosaku nodded.

"It's You! John!" they chorused, shocking John.

"What!? I'm not! You got the wrong person," John denied in panic. 'Hell! I must not show this ugly face to those who knew me,' he thought.

"No, It's you! I'm sure of it," Johnny stressed.

"What!? How can you be sure?" John became interested.

"We heard that- A person who knows you clearly without meeting you once," Yosaku began.

"And a person who rushes to do death-seeking things," Johnny continued.

"…Is John!" they finished.

John looked at them speechlessly, "What the hell?! It's unreasonable," he blanched. "Who the hell came up with this?" he asked.

"Oh! Zoro told us," Yosaku shrugged. "We met him during our Bounty Hunter business. He killed our Bounty target who went to loot the ship protected by him," he explained.

"Then, after some 'negotiation'…" Johnny stressed as he shuddered, rubbing his chest as if having an imaginary wound. "We decided to quit Bounty Hunting and joined Zoro's company with his help," he revealed.

"That's why we arrived here to deliver a courier, but got stuck here," Yosaku said bitterly. "We sneaked in, but it's difficult to leave without being found," he continued.

"We have been stuck with these pirates for nearly a month," Johnny sighed.

"I don't know which Bastard ordered things from this place," Yosaku seethed.

John listened to their explanation. "So you guys must have enough information of this 'Haven'…" he asked them, interested. Totally diverting the attention from his identity to something else.

And they fell for it, "Yeah! We gathered info so we can find a way to escape from here," Yosaku muttered.

"Oh! Let me listen," John asked eagerly.

Duo looked at each other. "So let's start with the basics," Johnny began. "Basically, this place is currently run by Eight groups- named based on elements. Those two fighting outside are shining METAL and golden LIGHT," he pointed out at the fight happening outside.

"shining METAL is managed by Don Krieg pirates, focused on acquiring and selling weapons. golden LIGHT focused on anything related to money. Trade, Tax, penalty, etc., and is managed by Eldroggan Pirates." Johnny stated, sipping water to moisten his throat.

Yosaku continued, "But, these two groups are at odds with each other. From our investigation, Eldroggan loves gold to the extreme, so he wanted the name METAL but Don Krieg beat him with his numbers snatching that name. So he chose the next best thing and chose LIGHT due to his Devil Fruit power, creating bright light when he uses, beginning their hatred," and explained the reason for the fight. John nodded thoughtfully.

"Next is DARK beauty! It's managed by Alvida pirates," Johnny continued. "They focus on intelligence and further acquiring the human resources for the Haven," he informed. John was confused. 'How to get manpower? By giving birth? Is she following in the footsteps of Big Mom? But… that bloated figure…!" John shuddered in repulsion.

Noticing John's expression, "Where do you think all the people working here came from? Pirates won't do the miscellaneous jobs on the island. It's this group's obligation to get manpower, they get them by raiding a town, kidnap, threaten, etc.," Yosaku explained. "We also heard that other than people transferred here from Non Government Countries quarter of the manpower to build the bridge was also brought by her," he added, pointing upwards.

"Possibly she also ate a Devil Fruit recently," Johnny disclosed, looking uncertain. "I heard while she was raiding a merchant ship recently she was sent flying by an unknown kid wearing a Straw hat, and got a Devil Fruit where she fell," he added. John nodded, 'Even though there are changes, the Canon story begins as usual,' and was surprised.

*bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* Suddenly an intense gunshot sounded from the fight outside. Startled, Johnny and Yosaku tensed, "It's them! They arrived," Yosaku hissed.

"Yeah! The Enforcer of this Haven! noble FLAME!" Johnny explained, peeking out of the window.

"STOP! Stop Fighting! This is the last warning!" a group of people surrounded the area, heavily armed.

"Damn! *huff* *huff* Stiff Asses arrived!" Golass roared angrily after being pushed around by Pearl.

"Bastards! I will roast you alive," Pearl yelled after calming down. Slowly, the group stopped fighting.

"You can try!" the group mocked, not taking the threat seriously.

"They are noble FLAME managed by Bluejam Pirates," Johnny continued angrily, making John shocked. "Bluejam Pirates? Are you kidding? That bastard's alive?" John exclaimed.

"Yeah! He is here. Bro Zoro and Bro Luffy have been searching for this group for a long time," Yosaku revealed. "To think they were hiding here?" he gritted angrily. Their angry reaction confused John. "Why are they searching for Bluejam pirates?" he asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know?! Because they kidnapped Mo's brother Dumb O Might!" Johnny asked in surprise. "I learned from Dude that after they set fire in Grey Terminal, they kidnapped Dumb and escaped," he sighed. "I feel sorry for the Monkey brothers… Both of them got kidnapped," and continued.

"Ace Bro and Luffy Bro swore to pummel whoever kidnapped the Monkey Duo," Yosaku added. John sweated hearing this.

"Let's leave that for later! Come back to the topic," John waved guiltily. Speaking of Mo, 'It's probably him that manipulated my watch and sent me to the East Blue?' he wondered.

Remembering where he left, "Yeah! nobel FLAME! They act as an Enforcers and maintain the law and security of this Haven. Since he has no plan to return to the sea, Bluejam is in full control of the security. He changes the law to his favor and does whatever he wants," Johnny gritted angrily. "And he still thinks themself as a Noble!" he added.

"Oh! By the way, we think he ate a Devil Fruit!" Yosaku recalled. John nodded nonchalantly. "And it is related to Fire. That's why he is leading the elemental group Fire," he ended.

"Huh?! He can manipulate fire?" John asked in disbelief. 'No way! Did that bastard ate Flame Flame Fruit? Then what about Ace?' he wondered.

Johnny shrugged, "Yeah! It's a rumor," he nodded.

"Ugh! Yeah! Whatever, I don't care anymore," John muttered.

"Drop your weapons and surrender now!" the surrounding Enforcers pointed the weapons at both groups.

*CLANG* "Try it! My shields can block Warship's Cannon Shell. You can't hurt me," Pearl sneered. "Besides! Those weapons are from us," he added.

"You just screamed like a Bitch for a nosebleed! You are one to talk!" Golass mocked Pearl. "And You! Don't point the guns at me! I won't care about anything and kill you," he pointed his sword at the Enforcers. The Enforcers tensed at this duo's action.

"So, are all the group like this? At each other's throat?" John asked, interested.

"Yeah! Currently, there is an internal conflict! Due to this place's Leader/Founder/Creator Flashy LIGHTNING group left, there is conflict." Johnny shrugged.

"I heard that while they were here, this place was lively with, party, shows, etc. like a circus. Not gloomy as now," Yosaku added. "Look! Another group arrived," he reminded.

As he said, we spotted another group with various inhumane shapes approaching the fight. We identified the group as they got closer. "Ha! It's Arlong Pirate's group WATER power!" Yosaku introduced.

"Water Power?! What a lame name is that?" John asked in shock.

"It's because of Arlong's thought of 'Fishman is more powerful/superior to Humans' so he named it like that," Johnny sneered in disdain. John shook his head speechlessly.

"Kuhahaha! A Fight! Why am I not invited?" a cocky voice laughed.

"Ugh! It's Kuroobi!" Yosaku sighed warily. Noticing John's doubt, "He is a fighting Manic! After they ran away from Conomi Island, scared of Jinbe, he vowed to get stronger, so he always gets into a fight," he explained.

"I can handle it! You don't need to butt in!" Pearl scoffed in annoyance. But Golass became extremely vigilant at Kuroobi's arrival.

"You can't say what I should or shouldn't do! Turtle in the Shell!" Kuroobi glared. 'Is Fishman him or me?' he sneered.

"Shut it! Muscle Head!" Pearl screeched. "I'm busy, get lost," he shooed him.

Angered, Kuroobi raged, "Puny Human! How.../ Don't ignore me! Bastards!" but got interrupted by Golass.

Kuroobi glared at Golass, "Do you have a death wish?" he growled.

"Try it if you can," Golass posed his sword. *click* *clock* *clack* "Don't forget us bastards! Don't start the fight again or we won't be polite," the Leader of the Enforcer group warned.

Noticing the heavily armed Enforcer, there was once again a stalemate. "Damn! We shouldn't have supplied you with these many weapons," Pearl complained indignantly.

"Pfft! Don't kid, these are confiscated by us or paid as a penalty by you after not following the rules," the Enforcer scoffed and looked at Pearl slyly.

"Bah! Who calls your 'rules' a Rule?" Pearl snorted. "It's obviously your willfulness," and grumbled.

Irritated, Kuroobi roared, "Who cares about... / Which bastard destroyed the buildings?" a roar interrupted him.

"Oh! Here comes the sixth group emperor EARTH," Yosaku exclaimed.

Irritated, Kuroobi glared at the newcomer- Pin Joker, crewmate of Trump Pirates.

Seeing the half-destroyed town Pin Joker raged, "Bastards! How dare you break the buildings? Go and fight on the sea if you want," he roared at the people present.

"They are in charge of infrastructure. They maintain the town and repair them when needed, and they are also in charge of building the bridge." Yosaku revealed.

John nodded, "They still care about building this stupid bridge?" and wondered.

"How do you think they built this place without the Navy's intervention? They made a deal with the World Government," Johnny sneered. "Pirates will continue to help them build the bridge in exchange the navy will not intervene in their business," he revealed.

"Rumor says that the group that represents the element Wind is somehow related to this," Yosaku added.

"Get lost! Don't clown around," Kuroobi sneered.

Spotting Kuroobi, "I wondered who it was! So, it's you fish bastard," he raged at Kuroobi.

"Stupid Idiot! I should have killed you at that time," Kuroobi raged.

"As if, Aren't you a coward? Running away from Jinbe?" Pin Joker mocked.

"Uh oh! The fight is going to escalate," Johnny muttered worriedly.

"Um?" John wondered. 'According to the Log Book, I'm responsible for the fight between Trump Pirates and Arlong Pirates! So It's best I don't get spotted by any of them,' he decided.

Noticing John's expression, "The Arlong Pirates and Trump Pirates began to fight for unknown reason..." and began explaining.

John rolled his eyes. 'Unknown reason? I'm the reason!' and decided to get out of this place. He looked around the room and quickly changed into a dress to better move around this town unnoticed.

"By the way, the leader of the whatever EARTH is Bear King, right?" John asked.

Hearing this, "No, you are wrong!" Johnny denied. "The leader is someone else, a bandit. We have not seen him. He will not come down and always stays on the bridge. We only know that his name is Higuma," he revealed.

John nodded, "Higuma... Bandit? HIGUMA!" and suddenly exclaimed. 'The bandit from Windmill Village? Isn't he dead? Maybe a coincidence,' he comforted.

"What? Do you know him?" Yosaku asked hurriedly.

Calming down, "Don't know! I'm guessing," John shrugged and walked away from the fight.

The Duo followed him, "So? John, where are you going?" Johnny questioned.

"First of all, I'm not that John You are thinking of. And why do you care?" John replied indifferently.

Dumbstruck, the duo became speechless. "Um...! So we can leave here by following you," Yosaku muttered.

"... Karate... PUNCH...!" we heard Kuroobi's muffled voice from the distance. The next second, *Creak* *Boom* *clatter* we heard/felt an explosion/shockwave from the Riot. Then the fight began, renewed.

"FUCK! You won't listen! Capture all of them," the Flame Enforcer ordered, beginning to suppress the Riot.

Using the Duo's distraction from the explosion, John controlled his wings- Scarf, to cover half of his face- Katakuri style. [So, why are you even here?] Bag-E questioned.

"Who knows? Just for fun," John shrugged, getting used to Bag-E's sudden speech. [Then, why are you in a hurry?] Bag-E questioned, reminding me. 'Yeah, Right! I can take it slow. It's not like this place is going to disappear,' John calmed down.

"Huh? Did you say something? John?" Yosaku asked in doubt, breaking his thoughts.

"Woah! Where did you get this scarf?" Johnny asked curiously.

"Oh! It's a secret!" John smiled slyly. "Do you have a place we can lie low? Until this chaos stops?" and asked them.

"Hmm! Yeah, there is one place. Follow me," Yosaku waved.

Suddenly, "YOU STUPID BUFFONS! Why are you fighting at this time?" a voice boomed all over the town.

"Oh! It's Hyena Three," Johnny exclaimed.

"Hmm! Who's that?" John inquired.

"Hyena Three, are three guys named Donny, Danny, Denny. They were formerly working under Eldroggan Pirates, but they are employed as Overseers of this town. Each of them is responsible for one column of the Bridge," Johnny explained, pointing at the column of the bridge.

"Did you notice the large building in the columns? Just below the place where the Arc starts. They mostly stay there to monitor this place, and they are also responsible for designating people who can go up or down the bridge. So your plan to climb it won't work," Yosaku continued.

"Stop playing around! I received a call that a new sponsor is coming for inspection and may join the group money TORNADO. So clean up the mess," the voice from the speaker roared.

Hearing this, John looked at the Duo. "Yeah! This is the last group that's related to the Wind element we spoke about earlier." Johnny nodded. "As we said earlier, they belong to neutral factions like businessman, sponsors, government, etc," he revealed.

"Yeah! The government's representative also belongs to the group," Yosaku nodded. "As you heard, they are called money TORNADO!" he added.

Dumbfound by this lame name, John followed the duo.

"Oh Yeah! This two groups, emperor EARTH and money TORNADO, are the reason for internal conflict!" Johnny said suddenly. "As I said earlier, these two are the ones fighting for the place vacated by flashy LIGHTNING," he revealed.

"Huh?! Didn't you say that they are a neutral group?" John questioned in surprise.

"Yeah! But there is a Navy representative, Nelson Royale who is one of the shareholders of money TORNADO got greedy for this position," Yosaku scoffed.

"Are you kidding?" John asked in surprise. '

"It's true! I don't know whether it is his own selfish desire or a secret task assigned by the government. He plans to become the leader of this place," Johnny explained. "Oh! The pirates don't know this. But he secretly exploits and causes friction among the pirate group, causing them to form an alliance," he added.

"If even the pirates don't know, how do know this?" John asked suspiciously.

The duo exchanged glances. "We got the information from another hidden group located in this place," Yosaku explained. John looked thoughtful. 'Another group? Whatever!' he shrugged.

"Normally, most of the pirates here didn't plan to stay in this place for a long time and don't care about ruling this place but Higuma is a bandit and has this ambition to rule this place, and has already made plans for it," Yosaku continued.

Just as we turned a corner, we met a few people who were fleeing from the fight. John spotted a familiar figure... figures in the group- Jango and Fullbody. 'Well, these two got together,' he nodded. "Wait a minute! Why the hell is a marine here?" John blurted in shock.

Both groups paused and stared at John in shock. As a pirate, "Who-who is a marine?" Jango asked nervously.

Looking at the pale Fullbody, "Oh! It's him," John mercilessly pointed at him. Everyone turned their head and stared at him. "Are you a marine?" Jango asked in disbelief.

Fullbody panicked, "Well... What's the use of being a marine in this place?" he muttered. "Aren't I also a prisoner?" he questioned.

Everyone became speechless. 'Are you kidding?', Really!', 'Save me!' they made a racket.

"Alright! Calm Down," Johnny waved. "Don't you have any way to call for support?" he asked Fullbody.

"No, they dismantled the ship, and used it to repair this town," he revealed, everyone sighed.

"I don't care! You are coming with me," John proclaimed unreasonably.

"What!?' Why?" Fullbody stared in disbelief.

"Because! You are a Marine!" John replied.

"So?" Fullbody tilted his head in confusion. Others also looked doubtful.

"So, you are experienced, and brave, and this is your duty," John expressed.

"It's unreasonable! He is also a human," Jango retorted, as Fullbody looked at him with gratitude.

"You are a pirate! Why are you helping him?" John questioned Jango, speechless. 'Did this idiotic Duo already join hands?' he wondered.

"Don't know! Don't care! I'm annoyed by your presence! Do I know you?" Jango replied, examining John suspiciously.

"Why should I know you- a pirate?" John scoffed, avoiding Jango's suspicion.

"Pirate? You are a pirate?!" Fullbody exclaimed at Jango, who looked uncomfortable.

"Don't change the subject! Let's go, fight with the pirates," John interrupted. Even Johnny and Yosaku looked speechless at his behavior.

Johnny hesitantly, "Bro...That...!" began before, "Do you want to escape or not?" John interrupted, silencing him.

"Now! Will you 'save' us or not? I don't mind exchanging you for some benefits," John grinned maliciously.

Fullbody eyes widened in disbelief/rage, "*scoff* You can try. I will show you what an Iron Fist is?!" and cracked his knuckles.

"Huh?" John sneered and *clang* kicked the iron plate patched to a building, denting it. Silence descended, witnessing the scene. Fullbody gulped nervously and thought of running away, "Wh-who are you?" he demanded in a stutter.

Recovered from the shock, "It's really you! Squirrel-face!" Jango exclaimed, silently winking at Fullbody to escape.

John glared at Jango, "No! I'm Katakuri! I like Donuts, have not lost a single fight, and my back has not touched the ground even once," I declared sonorously. *Boom* Behind us was a sudden explosion sound, the pirates began to fight again.

"Damn! They began again!" Yosaku yelled.

"Didn't the Hyena Three Intervened? Why are they fighting again?" Johnny yelled doubtfully.

Using this opportunity Fullbody ran, after looking at Jango gratefully. Seeing this, everyone ran for their life. Before Jango could run, John caught his collar and threw him to Johnny and Yosaku. "Bring him with us! Don't let him escape!" John ordered and chased Fullbody.

The Duo frowned upon hearing this, "Bro! Why should we listen to him? He is not John!" Johnny complained.

Yosaku was silent, "Can you dent an iron plate?" he questioned while gagging Jango and then dragging him to follow John. Johnny shrugged and followed.

John chased Fullbody hurriedly... why? Just cause? What if he is undercover? I can get a lot of info. But... "It's just fun!" he grinned.

Spotting the Pink/rose hair of Fullbody among the crowd, he decisively chased. Noticing him, "Why are you targeting me? *pant* Are you sent to assassinate the great me?" Fullbody blabbered, running ahead.

While chasing, John noticed a commotion nearby, leading straight towards the battle taking place in the square. Soon, he got annoyed as the people were running away from there, making it difficult to chase Fullbody in this crowd.

Deciding to end it, John jumped on a building and ran on the roof, noticing this Fullbody rushed into an alley. John ran across the building and jumped down as soon as he spotted the pink/rose hair at the exit of the alley.

Landing in front of Fullbody, he punched him unceremoniously, sending him flying/crashing into the people behind him. "*scoff* Stupid Idiot!" John scoffed.

Before he could relax, someone running out of the alley crashed into him. "Damn! Don't you have...?!" John cursed, but stopped at the identity of the perpetrator.

"Damn! how did you get here...?" Fullbody cursed after noticing the person he crashed into. "Listen here, I..." John looked at the blabbering Fullbody in front of him and the 'Fullbody' he punched away, speechless.

"Shut up! Follow me!" John interrupted Fullbody and ordered him to follow. Fullbody shut his mouth resentfully and followed John, grumbling.

Reaching the piled-up bodies, who were groaning in pain. "Sorry guys, I hit the wrong person," John waved nonchalantly. Fullbody looked at the knocked-out pink/rose-haired man and paled in fright. 'That might be me,' he shivered.

"Damn! Who are you?" One man demanded, standing from the pile.

Another stood up and hurriedly went to check the pink/rose-haired man, "Fuck! Do you know who he is? He is Donny of Hyena three!" the cursed John.

Hearing this, John's eyes lit up. 'A Big Fish!' he muttered excitedly. Before anyone could react *bang* *clunk* *thud* *boink* he knocked out the four bodyguards. Jango and the Duo who exited from the alley witnessed the scene and became dumbfounded.

Satisfied, "Hurry Up! Drag them into the alley," John ordered them and stared at Fullbody who had not recovered from the shock. Recovering from their shock, Johnny and Yosaku dragged the unconscious bodies into the alley, helped by a frustrated Fullbody.

John reached the pink/rose-haired man and searched his body. "You three! Change into their clothes," he pointed to Jango and the duo.

"What? Why?" Johnny demanded.

John stared at Donny and, "He is Donny of Hyena Three!" simply pointed at Donny.

"Oh!" Yosaku nodded subconsciously. Then everyone reacted. "WHAT?!" the trio exclaimed.

Finally recovering, Fullbody cursed, "Damn! You are ruthless! You are aiming for me?" pointing at Donny's swollen face.

John nodded, "I accidentally mistook him for you," and explained calmly.

"His hair color is clearly different," Fullbody quibbled.

John shook his head. "No, it's the same! Your hair color is the same, body structure is similar, your face is similar... you look like his twin," and grinned maliciously.

"Isn't he?" John asked the trio. The trio looked at Fullbody and Donny, trying to find any match between them and failed in it. Except for a somewhat similar hair color...

"That...!" Johnny began. "You don't want to escape from here?" John asked plainly. "Yeah! They look exactly the same," Johnny changed his attitude. Yosaku and Jango nodded their heads frantically.

"You guys...!" Fullbody looked at them, speechless. "Fine! What should I do?" he sighed, defeated.

"Nothing! Just impersonate Donny and lead me to the top of the Bridge," John explained, pointing at the column.

Fullbody stared blankly at this 'simple' request. "As if anyone will believe it," he roared in despair.

John shrugged, "That's where he comes in the play," and pointed at Jango. "Just hypnotize everyone we meet into thinking you are Donny," he explained.

Everyone looked at Jango in surprise and slowly became excited at this plan. Jango, who was mute to avoid getting gagged again, "When did I accept it? And How do you know my power? You are clearly that guy... from our ship," started wailing.

"Nice/Good plan Bro!" Johnny/Yosaku exclaimed, checking the weapons picked from the unconscious thugs.

After they changed their clothes and the final touchup on Fullbody- so he will look similar to Donny, they set off towards the column. Surprisingly, the plan went smoothly without any problem. Reaching the base of the column, we found outposts built randomly with stairs zigzagging, connecting them.

Just when we were at a loss, "…Hey, Hyena! The captured pirates were acting weird… Who are you?" a man arrived and asked. Our eyes lit up. After Jango's 'treatment', he 'remembered' our identity.

"Ok! I will instruct to lower the elevator," the man nodded and arranged for it.

As we were waiting for the Elevator, the man once again asked for instructions, for the arrangement of captured Black Cat Pirates. he explained that these pirates were acting weird and said they came to request help in overthrowing the kingdom, destroying a company, etc. Fullbody just dealt with it, by assigning them as work labor, while Jango looked complicated.

John looked unconcerned about the fate of his fellow 'rebels' who planned to do the grand thing. We soon boarded the rope elevator that landed. Right as the elevator started moving, "Oh! There was an injured Butler who was captured by the Black Cat Pirates. What to do with him?" the man asked.

Jango shook upon hearing this. "Isn't the sponsor coming for inspection? Just let him serve them first," Fullbody instructed what came to his mind.

John and Jango stared at this stupid speechlessly. "What?" Fullbody question.

Not wanting to be exposed, John remained silent. "That's Kuro- Captain of Black Cats," Jango revealed.

Fullbody looked confused. "Impossible! He was caught!" and denied it.

"Yeah! Right, when we were a bounty hunters, I remembered it clearly," Johnny explained.

Yosaku nodded. "It seems the person who caught him was called Morgan, right?" recalling.

"I remember you guys. Aren't you two, a small-time Bounty Hunters?" Fullbody asked in confusion. The Duo bristled at being called small-time.

Shaking his head, "That's a stand-in! I'm the one who hypnotized that man into thinking that he is Kuro," Jango explained.

"Whatever! Why care so much? Let that sponsor deal with him," John shrugged, as the elevator reached the Cabin located at the breadth column. Stepping out of the elevator, we walked, reaching the underside of the bridge- length, spotting a building. The building acts as a Gate/security station for anyone going above or below.

Following Fullbody, we entered the building effortlessly, using Jango's treatment. "Donny, let us go! We sailed here by mistake…" Jango pleaded to Fullbody, obviously hypnotizing himself.

"Shut up!" Johnny roared at Jango.

"You Marine, quick call for reinforcements," Yosaku urged Fullbody.

[If you jump from here, you will be splattered into the town below] Bag-E stated, untimely.

The sudden voice startled John. "Damn!" he cursed. "Are you kidding?" he scolded.

[No, I calculated it. You can check by jumping down] Bag-E replied plainly.

John stared in anger. "Damn! I'm not… Forget it," and sighed.

Everyone looked at John, who was speaking alone. Noticing their reaction, "Cough! Oh! What are you waiting for?" John asked Fullbody.

"Um…! I don't have a contact number," Fullbody replied shamelessly.

"Is he really a Marine?" Johnny asked, irritated.

"I AM! The people I know can't reach us in time," Fullbody glared. "Besides, Isn't Nelson Royal one of the boss? He will stop anyone from coming near this area," he explained.

"Yeah! There must be some other people who must have contacted the Navy in the past," Yosaku nodded.

"So, we need to contact someone powerful enough to deter Nelson Royal," Jango added.

John nodded at their discussion, then reacted. 'Hmm! I have Garp's contact number, but... bah! Who cares! I will call Garp, whether he will catch Luffy is up to him...' John shrugged. '...after making him come to East Blue earlier,' he added maliciously.

Searching in his watch- Re-call, "Here! Contact this number," John gave the number to Fullbody.

"Whose number is this?" Fullbody questioned.

Annoyed, "Just contact. Why are you verbose? It's a Marine's, Okay!" John reprimanded. Agrevied, Fullbody contacted the number.

Meanwhile, near Shell Town, a Marine ship with a dog as a figurehead is readying to set sail. 'Supplies are secured,' 'cannon's loaded,' 'Where is Vice Admiral?'

"Garp-san, It is unwise to go there based on the words of a kid?" Bogard persuaded.

"What if... It's real?" Garp asked with raised brows.

"But it's impossible for a pirate's gathering in Tequila Wolf," Bogard denied. "It comes under Commodore Nelson Royale's jurisdiction, and... it's backed by the government," he whispered.

"It's because of this, I'm 60% sure of it," Garp grinned. "We can't know what kind of deal the government had with the Pirates," he added with a sneer.

Bogard was silent, "Then... If we go and disrupt...?" he asked worriedly.

"Bwahahaha! What can they do to me?" Garp laughed, uncaring. Bogard shook his head speechlessly.

After laughing, "Oh! Call Koby," Garp said. Bogard nodded and walked away.

*puru puru puru... puru puru puru...* Transponder Snail rang. *Kachik* "Moshi! Moshi!" Garp answered the phone.

"Ah! It's connected! Hello! Can you hear me?" an excited voice sounded from the snail. "I'm Lieutenant Ironfist Fullbody speaking," the voice introduced.

Garp looked surprised before he could speak. "Pffft! Hahaha!" he heard another voice laughing. "Hey! Are you crazy? Shut up! Somebody will hear it," another voice cursed.

"No! Hahaha! He calls himself Ironfist *Pfft*" the second voice mocked.

"What?! Because! My fist is like an Iron," Fullbody explained, flustered.

Amused, "Then what about Garp?" the second voice asked mischievously. Garp raised his brows in interest.

"If I don't try it, how will we know whose fists are stronger?" Fullbody snorted arrogantly. "Hey! Don't distract me! We have serious business to do," he pointed.

"Pfft! Yeah! Hurry up and ask who is on the line?" the second voice reminded, gloatingly...?

"Whose number did you give?" Fullbody muttered. "Hello! Who is this?" he asked.

Garp lips twitched in mirth/interest/annoyance. "I'm Vice Admiral Monkey D Garp," he answered.

There was silence on the other side. "Hahaha! Look at his face," the second voice laughed, amusing Garp.

"Damn, bro! Did you know Garp?" another voice asked excitedly.

"Oh No! Fullbody has passed out," one panicked voice shouted.

"Johnny, answer the phone," the second voice ordered.

After some fumbling, "Hello! I'm Johnny- a deliveryman," he began. "Currently we are in Tequila Wolf- unofficially a Pirates Haven," he added, just in time to be heard by Bogard, who entered the office.

Garp was surprised and glanced at Bogard and the shocked Koby following him. "Oh! Pirate Haven? In East Blue? Are you kidding?" he asked, fake-surprised.

"Yeah! It's true," Johnny replied anxiously and then explained how they got caught, the workings of the towns, about slaves, the various pirate's crews, different managing groups, connection with the government, Nelson Royale's ambition, how they escaped, etc. Garp and Bogard became solemn as they continued to hear Johnny's explanation.

"I... We don't know how long we can survive, but you should take action here," Johnny urged.

Garp took a deep breath. "Don't worry, we already got the news and are ready to depart. We will save you," and promised.

Johnny nodded, "OK I... Hey...!" but was interrupted. "There is nothing urgent. You can come slowly," the second voice sounded.

Hearing the familiar voice, Garp glared. "Bwahaha! Brat! Don't think I don't know who you are," and sneered.

"What do you mean? I'm Katakuri! I like Donuts, have not lost a single fight, and my back has not touched the ground even once," the voice introduced. "So, what if you know? You can't do anything to me, child abuser," the voice mocked. Koby shivered, hearing this, and looked at Garp in fear.

Garp yelled in fury/shame, "You just wait there.../ Bah! First try to catch your grandson, *Kaling*" the voice disdained and cut the call.

Garp calmed down and looked at the Transponder snail melancholy. "Brat! You are alive," he muttered, then noticed the duo standing there.

"Koby, what did you think about the call?" Garp asked.

Koby nodded frantically. "Yeah, what they said is probably true. Even though my freedom was restricted, I heard most of them," and explained.

Tapping his finger on the table thoughtfully, Garp looked at Bogard. "Prepare to sail! Let's go and save some idiots," Garp ordered, picking up his Justice coat and walking out.

Meanwhile, near the sea of Tequila Wolf, two 'groups' are confronting each other. A group of people riding a Jet Ski surrounded a ship with a goat figurehead.

"Stop! You are not allowed to sail further," a person yelled at the ship's occupants while parking the Jet ski near the ship.

"What?! Why?" a voice whined.

"Who are you to stop us?" a female voice demanded.

"You are entering the waters of Tequila Wolf, so you can't sail further," the person explained hurriedly.

"Oh! That's good. We are going there," the female voice replied.

That person blinked in disbelief, "Damn It! We won't allow it," and yelled impatiently.

"Wha-at? I have Eight million followers behind me. Try to stop them," a panicked voice retorted.

"Shut it, long nose," a gruff voice scolded. "Why? If you don't give a proper reason, I will slice open a path," and asked the person blocking, tipping out the blade threateningly.

"*Gulp* We are doing this for your own sake. It's dangerous for you from here," he explained nervously.

"Wait, Zoro!" the female voiced out. "Oh! Is it because of rumors about the so-called Private Haven?" she asked.

"Huh? You knew? Then why the hell are you going there?" the person asked, excited.

Noticing his expression, "What's wrong?" Zoro asked.

Taking a deep breath, "Only pirates and Navy ships survive there. Ordinary ships like you will be devoured mercilessly," he explained.

"What!? No way," Usopp screamed in terror. "Guys, I think sensei will be alright anywhere. Why don't we go back? Hey, Luffy! What do you say?" he proposed.

"No way!" they rejected ruthlessly.

"Nami! You too!?" Usopp glared, betrayed.

"What!? Pirates... must have treasures!" Nami explained, Belli-eyed. "Pirate's gathering, Loads of treasure!" she drooled gleefully.

"Hopeless!" Usopp bemoaned.

"I get it!" a voice sounded.

Hearing this, "What Luffy? Have you decided to return?" Usopp asked hurriedly.

"No!" Luffy replied blankly. "Since only pirates and Navy ships can enter. Change this ship into a pirate ship," he declared.

"What!?/Oh!/Nice idea!" Usopp/Zoro/Nami expressed.

Recovering from the shock, "No way! This is MY ship. How can you change it to a pirate ship?" Usopp protested strongly.

"Shihihihihi! Don't mind these small details. You are my crewmate, so what's yours is mine." Luffy waved it off lightly and rushed into the cabin.

"WHAT!? What kind of... I'm not your crewmate!" Usopp yelled, chasing Luffy.

Zoro grinned and looked at the dumbfounded group, staring blankly, "You heard it! Now, this is a pirate ship. We can sail further, right?" he asked.

"You... you... you guys are crazy!" he pointed tremblingly. "*sigh* Whatever! Since you guys are so determined, I wish you luck," he sighed.

"So? Who are you guys? Why are you saving people?" Nami asked, curiously.

Hearing this, the man sighed wryly, "It's a long story," he began.

Looking at Luffy and Usopp wrestling with paints, "We have enough time…" Zoro replied.

"Snack's ready!" a voice announced.

"... and snacks," Zoro added, annoyed hearing this voice.

"What's taking so long?" a woman demanded, arriving in a Jet Bike.

"Oh! Big sis, you arrived just in time," the man sighed in relief and explained to her about the happenings. She looked at the people onboard the ship in surprise.

Suddenly, an idiotic voice, "Nami-swan~ Here is your..." sounded before its owner arrived here. "Ah! Desire!? It's really you! Desire," the voice sounded surprised.

"Huh? Sanji!" the red-haired girl exclaimed, surprised/excited/hopeful.

"What are you doing here?/ Why are you here?" Sanji/ Desire asked.

"Shit cook! Do you know her?" Zoro interrupted.

"Stupid Moss head! What do you want?" Sanji glared at Zoro.

"Oh! I'm just surprised that you are not Simping her," Zoro mocked.

"Damn! Don't call me that! Or you are dead," Sanji raged.

"Come on! Try it!" Zoro grinned in a challenge.

"Now I think about it, you are similar to the annoying personality of John." Sanji sneered in disgust.

"Same here, Swirly-brows," Zoro glared back.

Desire looked at their bickering in distress/envy/wistful. Noticing Desire's distressed expression, "What's wrong?" Sanji asked, ignoring Zoro. "And where is Barto?" he asked, looking around.

Hearing this, the Jet Ski gang became depressed. Noticing this, "What happened to him? Where is he?" Sanji asked in a panic.

"*grit* That damn bastard got himself kidnapped," Desire yelled angrily. "So, in order to save him, we infiltrated this place and work as Escorts for new ships arriving here," Desire explained. Hearing this, Sanji's expression became weird.

"That's why we block the civilians ships from entering further," Desire finished not noticing Sanji's expression.

"What are the chances?! John also got kidnapped... probably?" Sanji explained excitedly. "That time John was kidnapped, along with you. Now he got kidnapped with Barto! What are the chances?!" Sanji recalled, amazed.

"What? John's alive? You found him?" Desire exclaimed, not hearing Sanji's words after hearing John's name.

"Though nobody can kidnap John!" Nami pointed out, caressing the blood-red Medallion necklace absentmindedly. "He will only kidnap others," she muttered.

"Enough Chit chat! What's our plan?" Zoro ceased their conversation. "Anyway, we want to reach Tequila Wolf before we can take the necessary action," he analyzed.

Everyone calmed down. "OK! I will explain how this group is managed." Desire began and explained about the settings of the 'Pirate's Haven.

"Even though! Your idea is good,oi it is not perfect," Desire "As I checked, oi! except Pirates and Navy, another group can sail unscathed. OI! Bastard! How dare you focus the story on unrelated people?" John roared. "You newbie author! I'm THE Protagonist! If you don't focus on me soon, I will wreak havoc, and you won't know anything about it," John threatened.

The 'unrelated people' came up with a reasonable plan with Barto Gang. Sanji left with Desire to find Barto. The ship entered Tequila Wolf's waters escorted by the remaining Barto Club. Soon Nami flew away in her glider when they crossed the Nelson Royale armada mumbling 'Corrupt Navy, Loads of money.'

Nearing the Bridge's columns, Luffy, who was vibrating in excitement rocketed out toward the Riot that was happening in the town under the first column, yelling, 'Where there is commotion, Adventure calls!' leaving behind the grumbling Zoro, and shivering Usopp.

Led by Barto Club, the ship docked in the town surrounding/under the Second Column. Zoro got lost as soon as he disembarked, leaving a 'brave' Usopp to face the pirates alone.

-0-

Everyone glanced at John yelling at the air nervously/sympathy/dumbfound. "That's right! You should cut short the stories of unrelated people," John nodded. "Focus. Me!" he muttered. 'Knowing that this is probably a Fanfic, how can I give up my protagonist status to someone else?' John thought. 'Hmm! Besides... Only if there were exciting scenes the story will be interesting. It seems no one can stop my unruliness,' John decided, adding another point to let himself loose.

"Bag-E, you asked earlier, why am I in a hurry?" John asked. "Because I will be restless if I don't make others restless," he declared and noticed the people looking at him with varying expressions.

"Ha! We are right," Johnny exclaimed. "You are talking alone, just as Zoro said about...," he continued. "Shut it! Or I will throw you down," John threatened, silencing the duo.

"Where was I?" John asked, recalling.

"You were saying, 'I will be restless if I don't make others restless,' something like that," Fullbody replied plainly.

John's face turned red in embarrassment, "*cough* Forget the irrelevant stuffs," and waved away nonchalantly. "What do we do now?" he asked.

"Well...! We can't rely on these two guys anymore," Johnny pointed at Fullbody and Jango.

"Damn it! What do you mean? Bastard!" Fullbody raged.

"You both are the most useless ones here," Jango added in rage.

"What!? We are the ones preventing you two from escaping," Yosaku retorted.

Infuriated, "Just You!?" Fullbody flexed his fists.

"Heh! Donny is getting brave," Johnny mocked, ticking off Fullbody.

"Don't mind them, they are just Mooks," Jango soothed Fullbody.

"What did you say, stupid eyes?" Yosaku roared.

John watched the confrontation of Duos with interest. 'These two bounty idiots are no match for the marine idiots in Canon... What about now? Did they get stronger? Even in Canon, they tried to fight Mihawk to save Zoro... If Luffy hadn't stopped them. What would have they done? Ha! I'm curious,' John wondered, eyeing the duo.

After bickering for a while, "That's it!" Jango yelled, losing patience. "I challenge you...! To duel," he declared. John opened his eyes in anticipation. "... in Dance!" Jango finished, making him face plant.

"Nice!" Fullbody gave thumbs up to Jango. John lifted his head and looked at the Bounty duo, expecting that they would deny it.

"Damn! Who do you look down on?" Johnny sneered.

"We are the best dancers in East Blue," Yosaku added, shattering John's hope.

"Come on, let's go!" they roared.

"SHUT UP!" John roared. "Are you guys kidding?" he glared. "We are behind the enemy line. Are you guys having a little bit of caution? You guys are yelling like pigs. What if the enemy finds out?" he lectured. 'I'm trying to make this story exciting, but you guys are changing it into a Comedy genre? Damn it!' he cussed inwardly.

"Shut up! You brat!" Fullbody roared.

"I have had enough of you, little shit!" Jango chorused.

"Bro, Don't intervene. This is dual between men," Johnny chided.

"Besides, the enemies must have arrived when you were yelling at the air," Yosaku commented.

John stared at them dumbfounded, *dong* *bang* *thump* *bam* *clap* *clap* Clapping the dust off, "I hate being called a kid," John glowered at the human heap groaning below. "And you!" he pointed at the least injured Johnny.

"Don't you want to contact your informant?" John asked, recalling another organization hidden here. "Who are they?" he probed.

Johnny stood up in surprise. "Damn! I forgot to inform them. Now is the perfect time," he muttered, rubbing his aching bruise. "Oh! Some people plan to retaliate against the pirates- a Revolutionist," he explained cautiously.

"Whatever! First, find a way for me to climb higher," John shrugged, totally unconcerned.

Soon, Johnny picked up the transponder snail and contacted a number he had secretly hidden. After some identity confirmation, they exchanged information.

After the call, "Bro! I asked, and they said you can try sneaking onto the platform built underside the bridge. That place has no info, so it should be dangerous," he revealed. "Anyone sneaking in has not come out, but they deduced that it should lead to the bridge," he added.

John became invigorated hearing this. "Great!" he exclaimed.

Johnny stared at John blankly, "I said it's dangerous!" he stressed again.

"I know," John waved, unconcerned.

"*sigh* Whatever! They are also requested us to distract the pirates, so they can prepare," Johnny recalled.

"Oh! Distraction?!" John's interest was piqued. "Aren't I readymade for this work?" he grinned.

[If you go personally for distraction, you won't be able to climb the bridge] Bag-E's timely voice responded.

"Oh! Damn it!" John scratched his head in annoyance. His eyes rolled around thoughtfully, then spotted the idiot Duo. "That's it!" His eyes sparkled with excitement.

The trio, who regained consciousness, looked at John in confusion/fear. "Since we want to create distraction. What is better than a festival?!" John exclaimed.

"Let's start a Music Carnival!" John declared. The duo's face fell. "Isn't this what we planned?" Jango mumbled.

"What was it?" John demanded, iris flashing orange. "There will be a lot of money, right?" he grinned greedily.

Resigning to their fate, the four sighed in lamentation. "Oh! Right! What happened to Donny?" John questioned suddenly. Everyone looked at Fullbody. "Real one!" he snapped.

Looking confused, "Isn't he at the town below knocked out?" Johnny asked doubtfully. John was speechless hearing this, "So, we left this place's Boss, knocked out on the streets?" he confirmed, as everyone nodded. "Great!" he exclaimed dryly.

Pointing at Fullbody and Jango. "Ok! You two are in charge of the Carnival," John ordered, as if not asking the previous question. "And you two will contact the revolutionists, and try to help them," he instructed the bounty duo.

The marine duo cheered silently and high-fived, then planned for the carnival. Johnny picked up the Transponder snail and communicated with the revolutionists again.

Rolling his eyes, John picked up the broadcast snail. "Bag-E! Did you rememb...Save Donny's... Original Donny's voice?" John asked.

[Yeah! I have saved Donny's voice] Bag-E replied.

"That's great! Now announce in Donny's voice that there will be a Music carnival," starting from now on.

[Affirmative!] Bag-E replied. [YOU STUPID BUFFONS! Now I announce a carnival of Music, enjoy!] Bag-E yelled at the mic.

Speechless, "Why is there a scolding?" John complained. "And what's with that tone? Are you announcing songs on the radio?" he mocked.

[Oh! From now on, don't ask my help!] Bag-E responded coldly. 'Damn! Did it get angry? How? There is something wrong with A.I.' John thought.

Interrupting our conversation, "You Stup... Brilliant... guy! Why are you announcing now? Without any plan and our opinion?" Jango demanded.

John glared, "Do you have any opinion?" and growled. Jango retreated in horror and shook his head in a rattle.

"Why are you gawking at me? Go do your jobs," John instructed, waving them to do the job. While he sneaked towards the exit.

"Where Are you going?" Fullbody asked suspiciously.

"Oh! I'm Escaaauuup Up! I'm going up!" John reacted.

"You were about to say escape!" Jango pointed out, speechless.

Figuring out he was caught, John began to act tough. "What I'm doing is up to me! Why do you care? But your slander, me as a coward, has made me angry," he glared. 'Oh! I need to escape from this place before Donny arrives with back up. Otherwise, I won't reach the bridge,' he thought, hurriedly.

"Bro! Calm down," Johnny comforted as a mediator. "Now is not the time to fight. Time is running out," he reminded.

John nodded. "I will forgive you two for his sake," he compromised. "But don't think that you Marine and Pirate Duo can bully us commoners," he declared.

Both Fullbody and Jango were livid in anger. 'You?! A Commonor?!' they cursed angrily.

Unconcerned about the commotion, "Fullbody! Pass down an order to take out all the foods," Yosaku ordered. Everyone stared at him, "What!? We need food for the festival, right?" he answered, bewildered.

"*sigh* Whatever! I'm... FOOD!? Where?" John's voice ceased, as a familiar face entered his vision.

"Huh?/Who the hell are you?" Jango/Fullbody yelled vigilantly, reaching for their weapons.

"Me? I'm Monkey D Luffy! I'm going to be the King Of the Pirates!" the intruder introduced.

"Bro?/ Luffy Bro!" Johnny/Yosaku exclaimed in excitement, reaching Luffy.

"Johnny? Yosaku? You guys are alive? We thought you guys were dead!" Luffy asked happily.

"*sigh* It's a long story... Forget it! What are you doing here? Where is Zoro?" Johnny asked curiously.

"Hey! Do you know this guy? Is he a Pirate?" Fullbody asked the duo.

"Oh! I heard someone talking about food while climbing, so I came here," Luffy explained, ignoring Fullbody, ticking him off.

"Damn! Little shit!" Fullbody roared, holding Luffy's collar.

Seeing the commotion, John looked at the ceiling speechlessly, then tried to sneak away, not wanting to get entangled with Luffy.

"Huh!? Who are you?" Luffy asked, confused, stiffening John.

"Hmph! I'm Lieutenant Full Body!" Fullbody introduced, relieving John's panic.

"Hey! Idiot, let go of Luffy Bro!" Yosaku demanded Fullbody angrily.

"Ahh! Let go of me!" Luffy pouted. "I'm hungry!' he whined.

Infuriated, "You... you... Are you kidding? What are you doing here? You brat!" Fullbody demanded furiously.

"Oh! We saw John kidnap the Black Cat Pirates! So we came to save him," Luffy began. "When the ship docked, I heard a lot of noise, so I used Gum Gum Rocket and crashed into a man wearing weird shields. he got angry and set fire. So I ran to the higher place and I'm here!" he replied innocently.

"What! John is back!" the duo chorused and looked at John in unison. Following their gaze, Luffy spotted John. "Huh? John?" Luffy called, surprised.

"I'm not! How many times do I need to tell you guys?! Don't slander me!" John denied it quickly to avoid any mishap. "You fell on Pearl and initiated the fight again?" John hinted at Jango and Fullbody.

"Hmm! Really!" Luffy tilted his head in disbelief. "You really look similar to John," he mumbled, ignoring my question.

"I'm not!" John yelled, walking out of the building. "You have already led them here!" he yelled, getting a reaction from the Duo.

"... Where are you going?" Luffy asked curiously.

"It's none of your business," John retorted, jogging out.

"Hmmm! But I'm coming with you!" Luffy replied adamantly, following John.

"No need! And get away from me," John replied, increasing his pace.

Following John, "Hey! Why don't you join my pirate crew?" Luffy asked.

Stumbling in shock, "No way!" John roared and ran out of the building.

"Wait for me!" Luffy chased John enthusiastically. Exiting the building, he saw John squat slightly, as his calf bulged in compression, *whoosh* *crack* Then John disappeared...? Leaving a cracked floor where he stood.

Looking up, Luffy saw John flying parallel to the Column, as he stepped in the air from time to time, increasing the speed and controlling the direction. "It's Cool!" Luffy exclaimed star-eyed, then stretched his arm to hold the edge of stairs twisting above, "Gum Gum Rocket!" *whoosh* closing his distance between John.

"Damn it!" John cursed, increasing his speed. "Bag-E! Jetpack!" he instructed.

[Humph!] Bag-E snorted, ignoring him.

"Whattttheeehellllll!" John cursed in annoyance.

Soon he reached the point where the arc under the Arc- bridge began. The underside of the bridge is not empty but consists of many support rods/stakes/poles crisscrossing and has a plank covering above acting as a platform. Using these rods and stakes as leverage, John climbed above, reaching the platform.

John found a closed door, *creak* forcing it open. He felt a warm temperature and was surprised to discover that the whole place was filled with plants. It's like a hanging garden. Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that glass encloses all the outer surroundings.

Standing on the hanging greenhouse platform under the bridge, "Damn!" John exclaimed, surprised.

*thud* "Shihihihi! It's awesome!" the annoying voice destroyed the silence. "Hey! John! How do you fly?" Luffy inquired. "Woah! plants? Awesome! This place is awesome," he exclaimed.

"Did you grow these plants? John!" Luffy asked excitedly.

Irritated, "Are you stupid? This is the first time I'm coming here... probably," John responded. "I'M NOT JOHNN!" he roared.

"Whyyyyyy?!" Luffy whined. John glared at him and ran away from him.

"Wait..." *soru* John disappeared before Luffy finished.

"Damn! He ran away?" Luffy looked ahead and spotted John at some distance away. He ran again, following John.

John finds that to reach the bridge he needs to climb higher, so he searches for stairs/lifts to climb. He looked up to see if he could find a way up. "Can I break it?" he wondered.

John heard, "Wait for me!" Luffy yelled, nearing him.

"Damn it!" John cursed, pinching his forehead, irritated. Then ran away before Luffy arrived. He soon found stairs reaching the top.

Turning the corner, Luffy spotted John's back ascending the stairs. "Don't run! Join my crew!" he yelled. As he climbed the stairs, he noticed the stairs silently disintegrating from the top like sand. "Wow! Is this John's power?" he exclaimed, not understanding his position.

"Oops!" Luffy yelled, realising his plight. He hurriedly extended his rubbery arms above to hold something, just as the stairs under him disintegrated he held something and reeled himself above.

Landing above, "Phew! That's dangerous," Luffy sighed in relief. He soon spotted John running away, weaving around the vines and branches. Rushing after John, he entered this vineyard, but soon got stuck in the vine. "Huh? I got stuck?!" he roared, struggling to get free, but got entangled more.

Enraged, "ARGH!" he ripped the vines off and chased. But he soon finds something weird. It's not that he is stupid and gets entangled, but these vines move and surround him. "Is this also John's doing?" he wondered.

Luffy soon noticed that the vines that move have different color, so avoided them, but the vines dropped their subtlety and attacked Luffy. "Damn! I'm angry!" he punched these vines, breaking them. Soon, these vines changed into fists and palms, attacking Luffy.

"Hmph!" Luffy snorted and began fighting through them. Through the gap, he spotted John climbing a thick vine. "Stupid John!" he roared, as these vines attacked him.

"Gum Gum Gatling!" he yelled, destroying the vines desperately. Walking out of the destroyed vineyard, "Mean John!" he pouted. "He is the one who 'died' with Sabo and forgot us. I need to beat him to make him remember," he decided, and chased John.

Climbing the vine, John landed on the next floor- probably the last floor as the underside of the bridge acts as the ceiling. "Why the hell is that idiot yelling?" he looked back in confusion. "Whatever! I'm sorry for the owner. This idiot will probably destroy this place," he muttered.

*swish* *swish* *swish* Luffy dodged the pellets that were launched at him as he climbed the vine. "Argh! It's annoying!" he roared. Even though it won't hurt him, it's slowing him down.

Huffing in anger, Luffy climbed and pulled himself to the next floor. Surprisingly, this place is empty without any plants, except for some pillars, beds, and furniture. Searching around, he soon spotted the annoying guy John who needed a beating. Looking around and after noticing John's position, he grinned mischievously.

John searched around the area that looked like a dormitory to find an exit. Looking through the glass panel, he saw snow falling. "Oh! I forgot this place will be cold," he muttered. "This greenhouse is amazing," he added. "gum gum…" he heard Luffy's distant voice. "What the hell is he doing?" John complained.

"…ROCKET!" Luffy yelled. Hearing this, John turned to see a shadow slamming into him as they crashed through the glass, falling out of the bridge.

Hanging in the air, John blinked in confusion, then looked at Luffy. "Oops! We are going to die," who screamed in terror.

Realizing the situation John Raged, "Bastard Luffy!" he strangled Luffy shaking him, as he stepped on the air to prevent falling down.

"Soorrrwyyy!" Luffy croaked out, dizzily. "Idiot!" John scolded and kicked his feet to reach the bridge.

"Iiiimm dyyinng!" Luffy wheezed, slapping my arms. That's holding his throat.

Realizing his blunder, "Oh!" John caught Luffy's wrist, letting go of his throat, and dragging him. 'Do rubber throat suffocate?' he wondered.

"Shihihihi! It's cool!" Luffy screamed after recovering from suffocation. "Oh! And John, why don't you use your wings?" he inquired.

"Because It's a secret, and Bag-E is blocking..." John began subconsciously. Realizing his blunder, "...I'm not John!" he explained dryly.

Squinting his eyes mischievously, "Yeah Right!" Luffy nodded sagely, infuriating John.

"I will drop you," John threatened.

"No, you won't! You are my Nakama!" Luffy grinned foolishly/naively.

Speechless/Moved, "I won't become a pirate," John mumbled.

"Lies!" Luffy yelled. "I saw you getting on Usopp's butt-here pirate ship," he accused.

Eyes twitching, "That's Butler!" John corrected. "Wait... Usopp's butler...?" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Damnit! Why are you laid back? Huh? I'm here... trying my best not to be splattered...," John snarled.

"I'm made of rubber!" Luffy proclaimed proudly.

"But you will drown!" John snapped. "Besides! Aren't you cold!" he asked as revenge.

Blinking his eyes, "Brrrrrrrr! It's COLD!" Luffy screamed, shivering.

Satisfied by Luffy's suffering, John continued to increase his altitude.

"Enough playing around!" John snapped. "Stupid Luffy! I can't maintain this for a long time," he informed Luffy. "Do you have any ...idea?" he inquired, stiffly. 'Luffy and Idea? No way!' John thought.

Hearing this, "Hmmmm!" Luffy began his thinking as steam rose from his head. "Ah! It's warm!" John used it to warm himself.

"Just throw me!" Luffy declared. "...above, I will catch it," he declared, pointing at the bridge above.

Speechless, "What the hell!" John exclaimed in disdain, but soon he began to consider this idea.

"Ok! Let's test!" John nodded, then grasped Luffy's wrists. "Loosen your body," he instructed.

Confused, "Huh? WhaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaaAAA!" Luffy asked before his world was spined crazily.

John spun Luffy vertically, holding his hand. "Don't let go of my hand!" he yelled, releasing Luffy down.

Using the momentum, Luffy stretched down like a rope, straining John's Gepo. "Now is not the time to be willful, Bag-E!" John roared, trying to pull Luffy. *Buzz* Flames sprouted from John's backpack-Bag-E, stabilizing him.

"...gum Gum Rocket!" Hearing Luffy's yell, John relaxed completely, just as Luffy flew up, dragging him along.

We reached the Bridge's Edge, just as Luffy's momentum stopped. Then we began to fall, "Grab it, Idiot!" John roared.

Raged, "You are holding my hands!" Luffy yelled shark-teethed.

Realizing his mistake, "Heehehee!" John kicked his feet, stabilizing, and let go of Luffy's hand.

"Hmph!" Luffy pouted angrily, folding his hands as he became shorter. "Huh!?" John looked confused. 'Why is he becoming short? Damn it! This idiot...' "Idiot! You are FALLING!" John roared in panic.

"whATT! Save ME!" Luffy yelled, flailing. Suddenly, a cloudy white hand caught him.

[I'm speechless by you Idiots!] Bag-E complained.

Sighing in relief, "Bag-E! You are as reliable as ever!" John flattered Bag-E.

[... Flattery won't work on me! I'm an A.I] Bag-E declared. 'Then act like one! Have you ever seen A.I. getting angry?' John complained inwardly.

Bag-E threw Luffy unceremoniously onto the bridge, then reverted into a backpack. "Why didn't you help me up?" John complained, kicking his feet, reaching the Edge.

[None of my business] Bag-E replied, mechanically. Pulling himself onto the bridge, John spotted Luffy with his head buried in the snow, trying to get it out. Then, recalling the situation that he was put into, he raged and stomped towards Luffy.

Just as Luffy pulled his head, "Ha! I..." *thump* "I nearly died!" John punched him, causing his head to get stuck again. Seeing Luffy struggling again, John pulled him out. "Why did you do it? Are you an idiot?" and questioned.

*Thunk* "Bastard!" Luffy punched John in a rage. "What do you mean? Who attacked me with the vines first?! You are the one who faked his death and got lost!" he huffed angrily.

Laying on the snow, John realized that Luffy was settling 'his' past account. '... But, why is Luffy angry, isn't this Ace's part?' John complained, sitting up.

"... Sabo is also alive!" John revealed, trying to divert Luffy's attention.

"Huh? Do you think he is like you? He already contacted us," Luffy glared. "He is the one who said that you are alive," he added.

John clenched his fist in anger, 'That Bastard! Traitor!' he roared inwardly. "... But why are you angry? It's not your style!" he asked curiously.

"Oh! Ace said I need to be tough when seeing you or you will run away again," Luffy grinned. "Ready to get your beating," he clashing his knuckles. 'Are you kidding? This Idiotic Trio,' John cursed inwardly.

Speechless, "Don't you have a brain?! What do you think?" John asked.

Luffy stiffened and lowered his head silently, "Waaaahhh! John!" he ran towards John, hands spread wide, bawling his eyes out. "I miss yoau saow mouch~" he blabbered.

"Damn!" John jumped back in shock. "Don't come near me!" he warned, placing his hand on one of the weapons strapped on his back.

Noticing that Luffy turned deaf to his warning, "That... that... Ha! What about Dumb!?" John blurted.

Luffy stopped hearing this, "What? Is he alive?" and asked eagerly. "Didn't Bluejam kidnap him?" he asked angrily.

"Yes.. yes.. Bluejam! He is here." John's eyes brightened. "You can ask him," he grinned, successfully distracting Luffy.

"Really! Bluejam is here!" Luffy asked, eyes widened.

"Fufufu! Did someone speak about me?" a voice sounded nearby.

Snapping our heads toward the voice, we spotted figures of various sizes and shapes approaching. "What do you want with me?" an aged man with a weird hairstyle and teeth.

I also noticed various characters Arlong, Alvida, Bear King, Don Krieg, Eldoraggo, a thin man, and a vicious-looking old man. "Nothing! We are talking about eating a sandwich with Bluejam. We won't bother you, bye!" John replied and dragged confused Luffy away.

*Psssh* A fireball crashed in our path, "Where the hell are you going?" Bluejam asked, flicking a lighter.

"Are they intruders?/Huh? Straw hat boy!" Don Krieg/Alvida asked/exclaimed.

"Which one of you Bastards provoked a war between our group?" Bear King glared, pointing at Arlong. 'Huh? How did they find out?' John panicked.

"You guys take care. I'm going to meet the person who plans to join our Money gang," Eric waved, walking away.

"Wait! Tell me about the clues you got about Millenium Dragons," Eldoraggo chased Eric.

The old man stood aside and looked at Luffy in confusion. 'Won't that be Higuma?' John cursed, looking at the four that surrounded us.

"Who are you guys?" Luffy asked, confused. "John! Is he Bluejam?" he questioned.

"Hah! Aren't you one of the little shit from Grey Terminal?" Bluejam glared. "And did you call him John?" and shifted his focus on John murderously.

John blanched, "Ah!... DIE!" Bluejam shot a fireball, interrupting John. *whizz* Subconsciously, punching the air, John deviated the fireball, using Fishman karate.

"Fishman Karate?!" Arlong screeched. "Who are you, brat?" and stared at John venomously.

"Ah! Shit!" John groaned. "Luffy, RUN!" he screamed, taking off.

"Catch them!" Don Krieg roared, firing shots at us.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location in a town under the bridge, Zoro is staring vigilantly at a figure blocking his path. The figure waved his weird-looking arm, clashing it. "Oh! You want to fight? Bring it on!" Zoro grinned.

.

In Nelson Royale's Flagship, under the deck, Nami sneaked and found a little girl named Aisa locked up. Releasing her, "Why did they capture you?" Nami asked, shocked.

"Wuwuwu! I don't know!" Aisa replied stubbornly, refusing to reveal it.

Sighing, "Ok! Let's get out of here first," Nami sighed. '

*clink* "Don't move! Who are you?" a woman's voice threatened.

Nami stiffened and raised his hands. "*scoff* Kidnapping a kid? Is this what you navy do?" she sneered.

After a brief silence, "... it's none of *purupurupuru*" the woman's voice got cut off by a call. *Kalick* "Hello...*swoosh* *clang* using the opportunity Nami kicked back, which was blocked by the woman.

"Oh! It's you, Tashigi!" Nami sneered, obviously gathering info after sneaking into the ship.

"Is everything alright Ku... Tashigi?" a worried voice sounded from the snail.

"Nothing Happened!" Tashigi answered.

.

In one building under column two, surrounded by pirates, Usopp is staring at the person opposite in terror.

"Hello! Esteemed guest! I'm Klahadore, I will take care of you from now on," the person wearing the butler suit introduced.

"Well, he is the butler arranged for you. The Black Cat Pirates kidnapped him, we rescued him," a man nearby explained.

"He~*ahem* Hello! I'm Usopp! I'm in your care~" Usopp meeped tremblingly.

"My pleasure!" Kuro/Klahadore grinned, pushing his glasses up.

In a hidden location in a town, "Nothing Happened!" a woman's voice sounded from the transponder snail.

"Fine, we got some important info from Johnny and Yosaku. They are going to arrange for a diversion. It's time for us to take action," the Fishman informed the woman.

"Got it!" the woman replied. "I'm busy!" *Kacha* the woman replied and cut the call.

Shaking his head wryly, he looked at the man and woman standing in front. "Who is he?" he asked the woman.

"Oh! He is Sanji. A friend of Barto and Mine!" she introduced.

The Fishman nodded, "Desire, now is the right time to save Barto!" he revealed.

"Really!" Desire brightened. "Hank! How?" she asked eagerly.

"One of our friends impersonated Donny and sneaked into the control room," Hank grinned.

"YOU STUPID BUFFONS! Now I announce a carnival of music, enjoy!" an announcement boomed.

"Haa! Our distraction is here," Hank grinned.

"Sanji, why are you staring blankly?" Desire question.

"Hmm! I think I heard Nami's voice from the Snail," he muttered.

Hearing this, "No way, the woman I called is not even on the island," Hank replied.

"See! Nami is probably in the town," Desire explained.

"I hope so!" Sanji nodded.

.

In an unknown location in Tequila Wolf, a group of figures gather in a room that looks like a control room. The room has various monitors, which display the happenings of Tequila Wolf, some main characters, Straw Hats, etc.

"Finally! All the main characters are on stage," a figure spoke. "Our wait is over. It's also time for us to step on a bigger stage," the figure continued.

"Let the world know about us," the figure finished.

"Is Everyone ready?" the figure asked.

"All cameras are ready for action," he got a reply.

"Anchors are ready for commentary," another voice responded.

"Transmitter is powered up," a voice chimed.

"Signal Shield is ready," another voice announced.

Satisfied, "Ok! Ready for broadcast," the figure announced.

"1… 2… 3… START!" the figure announced.

Then the transponder snails all around the world began to ring.

"DonDonDonDonDon~

DonDonDonDonDon~" waking the world.
