"HAHA! Garp, your grandson is really funny!" Sengoku exclaimed with a smile on his face as he continued to read the manga chapter intently. He couldn't stop laughing since he started reading, even forgetting what he was doing earlier.

"See what I told you, Bwahahaha! This volume is so funny!" Garp felt flattered at this moment, after all, Sengoku rarely speaks well of his grandson.

"Um... Sengoku-san... Shall we continue talking about our plan to take down a Legendary Hunter later? This arc is really good," Borsalino suggested.

Everything was fine until Kizaru spoke up. "Gaaaarp! You motherfucker! You messed up the meeting again!" Sengoku remembered the important thing he seemed to have forgotten and ruthlessly kicked Garp out.

"Well, you can leave too, only Tsuru-chan can stay," Sengoku said. However, instead of returning to discussing their plan, he expelled Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Zephyr and continued flipping through the manga pages excitedly.

"One Piece" Events:

—–—–—–—–—–—–

The crew had entered the strange forest while Franky and Luffy were riding on zombie dogs who were in low spirits. "This island is so much fun already... With this sweet guy popping up and all!" Luffy said.

"So after this moat, here comes a forest, eh..." Franky added.

But Sanji seemed to have something more important in mind, as he began looking for Nami. "HEEEEY, NAMI-SAAAAN!! NAMI-SAN, WHERE ARE YOUUU!!?" he shouted.

For Robin, she was most concerned with Cerberus. "You're not looking so good, Cerberus-San…," she said.

Zoro answered her instead. "Well… Don't pity him, you're hurting his pride," he said.

At this moment, Luffy saw an extremely shocking scene. "Hm? What the—," he said, staring in surprise.

The crew saw a geezer tree and a unicorn having a drink.

"I caught him!!" Luffy shouted.

"Please overlook me!!" the geezer tree pleaded.

Luffy caught the geezer tree quickly, while Franky caught the unicorn. "Me too!! It's a strange one!!" Franky exclaimed.

Luffy got so excited that he couldn't control himself and wanted to recruit them both. "Hey, you!! You wanna join me on a pirate's cr—" he began but was interrupted by Zoro and Sanji.

"STOP FUCKING AROUND!!" they shouted in unison.

East Blue, Foosha Town:

"Hahahaha!"

"Kahahahaha!"

"I can't stand this anymore! It's so funny! Hahaha!"

"Robin is so sweet, she's even still interested in that frustrated zombie dog."

"Sanji only cares about Nami as usual, hahaha! I wonder how he'll react when he finds out what that invisible pervert did to Nami."

"Captain Zeff, what do you think?" Zeff looked at his excited staff before sighing and answering, "I think he will kill him. Oh, his name is Absalom?"

"I suppose this man ate that devil fruit."

"I have this assumption too."

"That devil fruit is every man's dream!"

The Red Leg Zeff crew had already arrived in East Blue after abandoning their ship and the pirate's domain and boarding one of the Global Traveling Company's ships. Their first destination was Dawn Island, where they planned to make their famous ship, the Baratie, in the Goa Kingdom before starting their work as cooks.

Due to their fame in the One Piece manga, their appearance attracted the townspeople, the mayor, Father Mercar, and even little Makino, who came to ask them if they were the Sanji family that she saw in the anime.

...

South Blue, Sorbet Kingdom:

"Looks like the future stronghold of someone is revealed in the manga... How pathetic."

"Who could it be?" Kuma asked quietly, thinking that his leader would be able to give him an exact answer to this question before he found the answer in the manga.

"Gecko Moria," Dragon replied confidently.

"Who is this Moria that you speak of?" Even Crocodile was not familiar with this individual.

"He is a pirate who was once known as a "supernova" in the New World, however, he fell at the hands of Kaido and lost his reputation. He possesses the Shadow Fruit, which allows him to take other people's shadows and put them in dead bodies, creating an army of undead."

"Interesting."

"No, it's revolting. What a heinous devil fruit."

At this moment, the pink-haired child who was sitting quietly on her father's lap spoke.

"Do you think so too, Bonney?" Bonney was occupied with her meal, but that didn't stop her from expressing her thoughts. She was incredibly cute.

"Yes, stealing people's shadows is a terrible thing to do!" Dragon smiled after hearing Bonney's comment.

"We'll see how Luffy handles this situation."

"Yeah, I'm a fan of Luffy too."

Despite Moria's past actions and the nature of his devil fruit, Dragon and the others were curious to see how the Straw Hat captain, Luffy, would handle the situation if they were to cross paths with him. They were all fans of Luffy and his crew and were excited to see how the story would unfold.

...

Thriller Bark Island:

"Stop! I agree." After being severely beaten by several CP0 agents, Moria's attitude had undergone a complete change. He knew that if he refused, death would be his fate. He had no other option.

"This is good for you." Momonga still held an obvious disdain for Moria, and his attitude did not change even after seeing Moria's impressive strength.

"Well, can you leave now? I need to rest and recover."

"I will accept to be a part of the golden Shichibukai." Moria gritted his teeth in anger as he made this statement.

"Okay, goodbye." Just as they had come, the Marines and the World Government officials retreated toward their ship.
