Reverie: Reiju and Yonji

On the Sunny Merry,

As a user of the 'Paper-Paper Fruit', Roman naturally created Vivre Card for everyone. Besides, each member of the Straw Hat crew has a 'Den Den Mushi Paper' for communication and location tracking, so there's no need for the 'Log Pose'; they just need to head in the direction Sanji is.

Of course, the daily routine of the Grand Line is still characterized by thunder and lightning in the morning and snowstorms at noon; but unfortunately, in front of Nami, all the bad weather has to obediently turn into a boost to propel the Sunny Merry, giving Pedro and Carrot eye-opener.

"Nami- neechan, Nami- neechan~~ can I have some ice?"

When faced with the adorable bunny girl Carrot, Nami casually waved her hand and threw out a large block of ice, which the bunny girl happily hugged, rubbed against, and licked.

"It's so hot! I wish I could just take off this fur coat!"

Chopper, tongue lolling out, stumbled and floated over.

"Nami, please."

Whoosh whoosh~~~

A cold wind blew by, and snowflakes fell from the sky, making Chopper comfortably spread his arms wide.

"How refreshing! Mr. Pedro, would you like some?"

"How could such a weak word as 'cool' possibly apply to me!"

Hey, hey, hey, your tongue's practically dragging on the floor!

The Mink Tribe's thick fur provides an advantage, allowing them to generate lightning through special techniques, but this also puts them at a disadvantage in high-temperature environments. And the weather on the Grand Line...

It was already six or seven in the afternoon, but even the air was rippled by the high temperature.

"Should I make you a dark cloud?"

With Nami around, changing the weather is easy. However, Roman usually forbids this kind of behavior; after all, according to him, true masters should train rigorously in the sweltering summer and freezing winter! Mere environmental factors...

Nami made this suggestion for two reasons: firstly, Pedro and Carrot weren't members of the Straw Hat crew; secondly, Roman was currently...

Daze.

This usually means he has shifted his attention to other things. For example:

Fish-Man Island

"It still didn't work, I'm so scared!"

Shirahoshi, clutching a whale, looked like she was about to cry, causing 'Roman,' who had just entered the Ryugu Palace, to roll her eyes. "Your fist is the size of a millstone! Your talent to command Sea King! Isn't this a bit of a waste?!"

How can I train Shirahoshi to become a true 'Sea King'...?

"Ahem, welcome to the Dragon Palace."

King Neptune coughed, interrupting Roman's training session.

"Your Excellency Marine Headquarters candidate Admiral, Mr. Roman."

"Oh? Mr. Roman!"

Watching the enormous whale being sent flying by Shirahoshi's 'casual' push, Roman once again felt sorry for her wasted talent. This power was a level that many people could never reach even after a lifetime of training! And yet, it was used to... weep.

"Waaaaah, it really is Mr. Roman."

"My father and the others are taking me to the sea, it's so scary~~"

Looking at Shirahoshi's Shirahoshi, Roman stared speechlessly at the sky. "That punch of yours could easily kill an 8 million bounty Bandit King, right? Who's really afraid of whom here?" he thought. But...

"What's there to be afraid of? Is there anyone more terrifying than me?"

Ah, this...

Neptune and the Third Prince both fell silent. They had heard that 'White Dove' Roman was good in every way, except that he was too 'straightforward'. Now it seemed the rumors were true.

"In any case, since the Fish-Man Kingdom has decided to participate in this 'Reverie,' I will escort you."

Although Fish-Man Island is located directly beneath the Holy Land Mary Geoise, all that's needed is to surface. However:

Roman sent his 'White Knight' here, not to guard against pirates, but to prevent those foolish Celestial Dragons from causing trouble. If any of them dared to be so oblivious, Roman wouldn't hesitate to give them a good beating on the spot!

Calling the Marine Admiral?

Who is kneeling before me, and why are you accusing me?

"If it were Mr. Roman, then I could also muster the courage..."

"You don't need to muster up any courage, because I'll just drag you up there."

"Why?!"

·········

"It has been too much trouble for candidate Admiral Roman to come in person. Perhaps we should rest for a while..."

"Wait a minute,"

Roman, who was controlling the White Knight, turned around and looked at the people in the Dragon Palace: King Neptune, the three princes: Hoshigaki, Hoshigaki, and Fukaboshi, and the blank-eyed Shirahoshi beside him.

"As you can see, I am candidate Admiral 'White Dove' Roman."

Four nodded, and one looked adorably blank.

"At the same time, I am also 'White Knight' Roman, the strategist of the 'Straw Hat Pirates' who recently passed through here. So—"

"We understand," X4

While Ryugu's policies were somewhat 'weak,' that was due to Fish-Man Island's lack of strength. The Ryugu family's political acumen was still quite sharp—except, of course, for the adorable and timid Shirahoshi.

Why would Roman, a candidate for candidate Admiral, associate with pirates? Leaving aside any earth-shattering secrets, the Straw Hat crew's past acts of saving the Ryugu family and their service on Fish-Man Island are enough to keep them tight-lipped. Moreover:

Roman deliberately appeared on Fish-Man Island as a 'candidate Admiral' to demonstrate 'goodwill,' so they certainly wouldn't take advantage of their benefactor. Therefore:

"Shirahoshi, remember, never mention the 'Straw Hat crew' outside, understand?"

Faced with his elder brother's and father's instructions, Shirahoshi nodded repeatedly.

"Then so be it. I will escort the King Neptune of the Fish-Man Kingdom to the Holy Land to attend the Reverie."

Roman turned and walked out, waving as he went.

"Let's go, Shirahoshi."

"Okay, Mr. Roman ~~ Luffy and the others..."

"They are still traveling..."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the three princes looked at Neptune, while the king of Fish-Man Island nodded.

"Keep up with her, just keep a close eye on Shirahoshi and make sure she doesn't say anything out of line."

It seems that Fish-Man might actually be able to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with humans.

Otohime, your dream...

Not only Fish-Man Island, but also royalty from many other countries were heading towards the Holy Land Mary Geoise under the escort of the navy.

The Reverie, held every four years, is about to begin. Although it theoretically has more than 170 Affiliated Nation, only about fifty will actually attend.

After all, participating in the Reverie requires a certain level of 'strength'. Without special characteristics or strong figures in charge, participating in the Reverie is just a formality.

Just like those small countries in Roman's previous life who were responsible for "raising their hands" at the United Nations, those who fantasize about joining the game between major powers are only asking for humiliation.

After settling things off on Fish-Man Island, Roman shifted his focus back to the Sunny Merry, and then:

When I came to my senses, I saw a beautiful older sister hugging Luffy and giving him a French kiss.

Ah, this...

The Empress was furious: I was here first!

"Sanji?"

When Luffy up and said those first words, everyone put their hands to their foreheads.

You can donate your eyes to those who need them! Anyway, you just judge people by your gut feeling...

"This looks like a woman, doesn't it?"

Usopp was speechless. Just because someone has curly eyebrows doesn't mean they're Sanji! Otherwise, wouldn't that green-haired guy on the other ship be a combination of Sanji and Zoro?

"Luffy, that's incredibly rude!"

Nami taught this guy a lesson for catching a fish and immediately starting to eat it, then getting poisoned and falling unconscious.

"You were poisoned just now, and this young lady saved you! — She's Sanji's sister."

"My brother has been taken care of by you all along the way,"

The beautiful woman who just sucked the poison out of Luffy has medium-length pink hair that covers her right eye, and her left eyebrow is a counter-clockwise circle. She has blue eyes and wears light pink lipstick.

She wore earmuffs, a blue scarf around her neck, and a short skirt that exposed her chest and navel. Her cape was shaped like a butterfly wing, and she wore white and pink knee-high boots. Her long legs were tattooed with the number '6'.

Both alluring and dignified, both beautiful and dangerous.

Vinsmoke Reiju, the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, and Sanji's older sister.

Where is Sanji?

Since the other party is Sanji's 'family,' they should have the same goal as the Straw Hat crew:

"Who knows, maybe with Big Mom; maybe with Father. We also came to meet up for the wedding—but it seems we've missed it."

"Sanji's sister, thank you for saving me."

Luffy thanked Reiju earnestly, then his expression turned serious.

"But Sanji is our comrade, and we must return him to him!"

········

"Hmph, just you wait and see."

On the castle-shaped ship carried by the giant snail beside them, a man with eyebrows turned to the left, green horned hair, and a face very similar to Sanji, stood. He also wore headphones, an orange scarf around his neck, a green battle suit, and a black cape. He had a '66' on his chest and a '4' on his cape, and looked disgusted.

"After saving the 'enemy' from the brink of death, you're already preparing to turn on us? Ungrateful wretch!"

"Hey, don't say things like that with Sanji's face on your face!"

The other person's face, which resembled Sanji's, his green hair, and his foul tone made Zoro's anger rise involuntarily.

"Believe it or not, I'll teach you a lesson in place of your brother?"

I said,

Coming to his senses, Roman rubbed his temples.

"We're all here for Sanji's 'wedding,' right?"

"The bride and groom haven't even made their appearance yet, and the guests are already fighting amongst themselves. That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Swoosh—

Amidst a gust of air, Reiju was lifted into the air and flew back to the giant snail ship beside her. With graceful Reiju, she turned around to look at the Straw Hat crew.

"Then we'll pretend we didn't see you for now,"

"That's right. If we cause a disturbance here, we might ruin my brother's wedding. You'd better be careful."

Even though the other party seemed to be very 'reasonable', Luffy had a serious expression on his face!

Because he couldn't sense any fluctuations in the other person's emotions, whether they were angry or happy, the two people opposite him remained completely unmoved, as if:

Like a machine.

"Sanji's sister,"

Roman waved to Reiju was preparing to leave.

"If you encounter Sanji, please give him this message for me:"

"Beat them hard!"

?

"Okay, I will definitely bring it."

Well, cyborgs...

Is it really true that 'Germany is the best in science and technology'?

(The Germa differs from the German name by only one letter.)

Cloning, mind control, suppressing emotions... this is far more difficult than Franky's physical modifications. He truly lives up to his infamous reputation as a 'war expert'. Being ruthless to the enemy is nothing special, but being ruthless to oneself is truly terrifying.

"Sanji's siblings seem to be quite reasonable..."

In response to Nami's sentiments, Luffy adjusted his straw Straw Hat.

"I don't like it!"

?!

"They're Sanji's family, and they just saved you. What do you mean you don't like them—"

"In short, I just don't like them!"

Are you a child?
