"The Lvneel Kingdom," Robin said, her appearance subtly altered for the mission. "It's the setting of a well-known North Blue fairy tale—the homeland of Mont Blanc Noland, the infamous liar."
The southern port was a crossroads for the North Blue, an excellent deep-water harbor that had become the region's main hub for commodity trading.
The intel had come from Baroque Works. It was also Crocodile's reason for suggesting Jin come here.
First, it was a convenient place to pr...

As an agency operating under the direct authority of the World Security Council—formed by the five global superpowers—S.H.I.E.L.D. possessed immense power.
Especially when dealing with nations outside of the big five, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s authority often superseded that of local law enforcement.
As for its authority within the five supe...

The World Government’s policy on capturing great pirates had always been the same—imprisonment.
But wouldn’t a swift execution be a better deterrent against escape? Arthur could never quite grasp the logic.
Impel Down had already suffered two catastrophic failures.
The first was his own escape. The second was when he’d returned to liberate a horde of the world’s most vicious criminals to form the infamous Thunder God Pirates.
Did the World Government truly be...

“Haa... haa...”
Shallow, uneven breaths rose and fell in the dim hotel suite. Outside, night had deepened—the city skyline drenched in shadows.
If anywhere deserved the title of “the city that never sleeps,” it was Itogami Island.
Unlike Tokyo’s endless neon nights fueled by commerce and humanity, Itogami was a sanctuary for demons, home to countless nocturnal species that truly came alive after dark.
Midnight approached, marking the start of the island’s...

“Onii-chan, please let me go, Don’t bully me anymore,” she whined, her eyes welling up as she tried to use her cuteness to sway me.
I remained completely unmoved, giving her a stern look.
“Kiss me. Now. Or I’ll eat you right here!”
Finally, a cry of defeat escaped her. To avoid being discovered, she could only wrap her arms limply around my neck, part her small lips, and press them against mine.
Heh...
I wrapped an arm around her slender wais...

Ring—!
A loud bell rang throughout the campus.
Snap.
The old nun at the lectern closed her book, cleared her throat, and said with a kind smile, “Ahem, alright, that’s all for today’s lesson.”
“Stand!” a tall girl called out, her voice loud and clear.
All the students stood up straight.
“Bow!”
Thirty small heads bowed in unison.
“Goodbye, teacher!” they chorused.

"Akainu wants me to deal with Mihawk."
A sinister glint flashed in Crocodile's eyes as he considered the situation.
'Mihawk, I have no personal grudge against you, but for the sake of my own peace, I'll have to get rid of you.'
Crocodile had no quarrel with Mihawk, but now he had to act. The reason was simple: Akainu was watching. He knew Akainu’s personality well—the man showed no mercy to his own people, let alone to pirates.
If he didn't handle Mihawk, Akainu wo...

Two days ago, Jin had traveled in reverse, arriving at Reverse Mountain. The demonic carrier had used its Logia-like earth-based abilities to sail up the mountain.
By the next morning, he had reached the North Blue.
Crocodile's Baroque Works also had agents in the North Blue. They had found the approximate location of the Heart Pirates.

The fall of Ohara was, in a sense, inevitable.
When men of limited power attempt to grasp knowledge that is far beyond their station, the only possible outcome is their own annihilation.
They were not lone wolves, and they possessed no power that would make their enemies hesitate.
If Ohara had possessed the overwhelming power and influence of someone like Whitebeard or Arthur, do you think the World Government would've been so quick to order a Buster Call?

The earlier talk about getting food wasn't just empty words.
So ten minutes later, at the familiar barbecue restaurant in central Itogami Island—
"You know... we've got quite the crowd for barbecue tonight."
The aroma of grilled meat filled her nostrils, the sizzling sounds reached her ears. In the private booth, Asagi sat somewhat awkwardly beside Bokue, glancing around at the others at their table.
She meant "awkward" in the purely physical sense.

“When we catch Natsumi,” I proposed, “we’ll make her serve us every day. Tea, mopping the floors... what do you think?”
“I approve.”
Origami's expression stayed completely neutral, but her words hit the room like a bomb. “My suggestion is that after we capture her, we put a collar on her and tie her to the front gate to act as a guard dog.”
Classic Origami. Only she could say something so jaw-droppingly insane with a straight face.

“Well then, we’re taking Fujino to school. Papa, the house is in your hands,”
Akiha Tohno said, gathering the black hair that had fallen on her shoulders. A gentle smile graced her face as she bowed slightly to Haru.
In Haru’s eyes, Akiha was a born lady in both etiquette and personality, filled with a unique elegance. In some ways, she was an ideal marriage partner.

With a casual slash, Shin shattered Mihawk's sword aura. The icy battlefield Monet had created was now a ruin of shattered ice and churning sea.
Mihawk knelt on a piece of floating ice, clutching the hilt of his Supreme Grade sword. The other half of the legendary blade had already sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Mihawk's Yoru had been broken by Shin. Even reinforced with his formidable Armament Haki, it could not withstand a single blow from Shin.

"He's down!" Robin was stunned.
"BROGY!" Dorry roared.
They were rivals, but they were also brothers. He raised his giant sword and swung it in a wide arc.
Jin's eyes were blazing with fighting spirit.
His fists, glowing with a black and red metallic sheen, met the massive sword head-on.
Each blow was packed with explosive power, either batting away the body of the sword or deflecting the blade.
After a few dozen blows, Dorry's hands were already numb.

A few days later.
Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Gwen parked the car, and as she stepped out, she took in the breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty and the iconic Manhattan skyline. She let out a soft gasp of awe and turned to Hawk as he got out of the passenger side.
"I've never seen the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline from this angle before. It's beautiful, isn't it, Hawk?"
"It's alright."

Seven days had passed since they’d left Sabaody and descended to Fish-Man Island.
During that time, Doflamingo and his entire crew had exhausted every resource at their disposal, desperately searching for a cure for Arthur’s injuries. They sought out every famous fish-man doctor, every rare medicinal herb, but their efforts were fruitless.
He had already secured the promise he wanted from the Thunder God Pirates, true. But who would ever complain about having a favor owed to t...

The next morning.
Holding Origami in my arms, I felt it immediately. Something was off.
Why does she feel so small?
I opened my eyes and looked down. A white-haired girl stared back at me from my embrace, and I went completely still.
The more I looked, the more familiar she seemed...
Th-Th-This... This was Origami!
My eyes shot wide open. She’d been turned into a child. This had Natsumi’s handiwork written all over it.

The silver-haired girl, with teary eyes, hugged his right leg. Her emerald-green eyes were filled with a fawning look, like a small dog abandoned by its master.
Haru stared at her, dazed. The sheer volume of information in her sudden outburst made his brain briefly short-circuit.

Mihawk ignored Zoro, his gaze fixed on Shin inside the Baratie.
"Shin Uzumaki, I want to challenge you." Mihawk said with solemnity.
Zoro stood there, utterly mortified. He had wanted to challenge Mihawk, but the man hadn’t even spared him a glance—instead, he had chosen to challenge someone else.
"Mihawk is challenging him? Who is he?" Zoro’s gaze also turned to Shin.
Unfortunately, there was nothing obviously special about him. He had an ordinary presence and l...

Hawk had never intended to hide things from Gwen.
At least, not since they had made their relationship official. He had never concealed his true strength or anything else from her.

It possessed nothing of value save for its tropical climate and a handful of cultural quirks.
