At Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku frowned at the Den Den Mushi on his desk. Shin Uzumaki had appeared in the East Blue?
To be honest, the Marines had little intelligence on the Kuja Pirates’ movements. They knew the crew had left the New World, and Sengoku assumed they were returning to Amazon Lily, so he hadn’t thought much of it. He never expected them to head for the East Blue.
He remembered that Red-Haired Shanks and his crew often lingered there, but ...

After spending some time in the Green Universe and sweeping it clean of its Godly Ingredients, Yuuki returned to the Red Universe. A few of the Green Nitro decided to accompany him.
Although they had no interest in invading other universes, the revelation that Red Nitro still existed in the Red Universe—and that peaceful interaction was possible—was too much to resist. They were eager to go.
So, when Yuuki returned, he brought a few Green Nitro with him. As for whether they we...

A remote backroad, thirty miles north of Quantico Town.
Hawk had studied the satellite maps. He knew the general layout of the area and the route he was supposed to take from the airport.
So, the moment the young driver had veered off the main road, Hawk knew something was wrong.
His memory was already sharp, but after awakening his Cosmo, it had become flawless.
Hawk got out of the car and scanned his surroundings.
Remote.
Muddy.

Vroooom!
2:30 PM.
The flight from New York touched down, taxiing smoothly to a stop at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C.
Half an hour later.
Traveling light, Hawk walked out of the airport, went straight to the taxi stand, and got into the back of the first cab in line. He gave the address of a motel in Quantico Town to the young driver.
The driver nodded, started the meter, and pulled away from the curb.

The sound of applause echoed through the street.
"Well said."
Jin looked toward the end of the road. A tall, imposing figure stood there, like an iron tower.
"Many of those who consider themselves 'good' are, for the most part, either fools or villains. Sometimes, good intentions can do more harm than good," the man said.
"It's him!"
At the sight of the man, Wilson's pupils contracted, his surprise evident.<...

In a peal of helpless laughter, the Armament Haki covering Garp’s body rapidly receded. His body shrank back to its normal size, and he fell backward with a smile.
Ten days and ten nights of fierce battle had left him utterly exhausted. Combined with the burning of his own life force, he was completely spent.
'Maybe... this is it. A pity I couldn't get rid of that damned brat Arthur for the Marines.' Garp lay sprawled on the ground, closing his eyes with a hint of regre...

Two hours later, with all the ingredients on the rack completely devoured, Tokoyogi Yuuma collapsed back into the booth sofa, holding her stomach with a satisfied smile.
But just as she finished speaking, Bokue's voice came from across the table, mixed with the sizzling of grilling meat.
"Giving up already? There's still two plates here."
"Huh?"
Looking up, she saw two large plates of lamb and beef rolls still sitting beside the young man.

Coming here again felt oddly surreal. In truth, Shin had only been to Reverse Mountain once before—this was his second time.
"I’ve heard the sea restaurant Baratie in the East Blue is excellent. I just wonder if it’s true," Olvia said.

I was well aware of the little scheme the owner was running.
Taking the wooden pellets from him, I turned to the girls beside me with a smile. "See anything you like? Just point it out."
Seeing me step up to play again, Mayuri hesitated. "Kyoya-kun, I-Is this really okay?"

The natural world is full of things that represent the evolution of energy and matter, and the most conspicuous is the one hanging in the seat of heaven—the sun.
And Haru, who had mastered the two great rules of matter and energy, had made the scientific conjecture of an artificial sun a reality.
A black, ping-pong-ball-sized sphere appeared in his hand.
The next moment, infinite light and heat emanated from the black sphere. Haru, who was wrapped in golden magical power, ...

Time flew by, and nearly ten years passed.
During these years, Shin basically split his time between the New World and Amazon Lily.
Nothing major had happened in the past few years—the sea was relatively calm.
Well, "relatively calm" was a stretch. It would be a lie to say that pirates didn't fight among themselves—or that the Marines didn't hunt pirates.
But for the time being, there were no conflicts between the Four Emperors, and the Marines had...

The Green Nitros couldn’t see a thing, so they could only turn to Yuuki for answers—he was the only one who could possibly know what was going on.

Evening.
On the rooftop of the new apartment building.
His workout finished, Hawk tugged at the hem of his shorts and sat down, leaning his back against the cool metal of the ventilation shaft. He grabbed a Coke from beside him and took a long drink.
Just then.
A thought occurred to him. He put the soda down and opened his right hand, palm up.
The spot where Gwen had seen a patch of new skin was now completely gone, without a trace.

Dr. Connors's Regeneration Lab was located on the twenty-first floor of the Oscorp building.
The entire space was filled with a dazzling array of complex scientific instruments.
Some of the equipment looked incredibly expensive, even to a casual observer.
But the thing that truly captured Hawk's attention was right in front of him, visible through a large glass window: a strange, dark stone, housed in a transparent, climate-controlled case.
Hawk didn't know what kind o...

The next day.
Hawk was up early. Dressed and with his backpack slung over one shoulder, he took the folder Mrs. Snow had given him and headed for the subway.
His original plan had been to take the bus.
Everyone knows the New York City subway is an experience you don’t forget.
But Hawk discovered there was no direct bus route from his new apartment to the Oscorp building. He'd have to make three transfers.
At that point, he might as well just take the subway.

"Hah... hah..." Garp panted, sweat and a trickle of blood running down his face. That final, all-out attack had grazed his scalp.
"That was a close one," he said, looking down at the young man lying in the massive crater. "I'm getting too old for this. Can't keep up like I used to."
His strength hadn't diminished, but he wasn't as durable as he was in his youth. Age makes you brittle.

Of course, Asagi Aiba was equally blindsided.
The three of them had known each other since childhood, though compared to the pure "childhood playmates" relationship between Bokue and Yuuma, the dynamic between Asagi an...

The Pluton sailed in the Calm Belt without being attacked by a single Sea King. This was a bit of a surprise.
Shin felt it was because of Shirahoshi.
Even if her power had not yet awakened, it could not change the fact that she was the ruler of the Sea Kings. It was normal for them not to attack.
“It would have been better if we had encountered a Sea King.” Amatsuki Toki’s face showed disappointment.

"Stand at the designated spot. Whatever prize you shoot down, you can take." Seeing the large group of people with me, the corners of the owner's mouth curved up into a grin that stretched from ear to ear.
With so many customers at once, he was definitely going to make a killing.<...

The Green Nitro reminded Yuuki of the difference between the Saiyans of Universe 6 and Universe 7 in the world of Dragon Ball—one was savage and brutal, the other a peace-loving race.
It just went to show that even within the same species, there could be massive differences. As for the Red Nitro, they fell somewhere in between.
You couldn't exactly call them peace-loving; their nature was quite ferocious. But you couldn't call them purely savage either, as some of them were capa...

Truthfully, the reason he had stayed out of the fight in the locker room and ignored Peter on the bus wasn't just because he wanted to avoid the tragedy that always follows superheroes. It was also because he didn't want his interference to prevent the original Spider-Man from ever existing.
There were three versions of Spider-Man.<...
