Recap: After coming back from the Jojo world, Hector makes his preparations for a huge trip to the One Piece World. Arriving at the time of the Marinefor's War, he takes advantage of the chaos to acquire many powers in Impel Down and kill Blackbeard. After saving Ace he is now ready to make his official debut in this world.

SUB-TITLE:

End of an Era; Dawn of the Devil

Other Hector P.O.V.

Moon

"Calm down, I'm not gonna hurt him... more." I try to assure the army of small automatons that are pointing their weapons at me.

Understandable really, I'm holding their leader and savior Enel, by the neck. The antagonist of the Skypiea Arc and user of one of the strongest Devil Fruits of the series is unconscious in my grip. It was very easy to take him down really, he doesn't know Armament Haki.

Obviously, my actions aroused the enmity of the small automatons, but I have no intention of hurting the little guys unnecessarily

"Seriously, he even looks like Eminem. I will not kill him." I repeat while I copy the Goro Goro no Mi, the logia fruit of lightning.

"By the way, I'm curious... Are you guys from the Ancient Kingdom in the Void Century? High-tech enough to make automatons with personality and travel to space... Interesting... There are even aliens here. The iceberg of One Piece goes deeper than I thought." I ask and comment to myself

I look around in the buildings of this underground city on the moon.

Manga readers only and Skypiea Skippers shouldn't know much about Enel and his adventure after his defeat...

"Skypiea Skippers... *Ptu*" I show my disgust to these guys by spitting on the ground.

Who the hell skips an entire arc of a manga? Did they really think that because it is out of the Grandline, it's a filler?

In the end, Skypiea becomes the main source of many theories about the fucking end of the manga. And many mysteries of this world.

Things that you don't pay attention, or are of no importance, during the Skypiea Arc start to gain meaning with the progression of the story.

And people lost all of it because they skipped the arc. Comparing it with a filler...

Pfft! Imagine these people that judged themselves if something is important or not, in another someone's story and skip or read without paying attention and then complain. These ADHD kids really get out of hand sometimes...

Anyway, let's look around.

Ignoring the fearful little automatons, I see the many murals left behind by the people that lived here. Yes, people lived here. Winged people... The story told on the walls explains that they migrated to the Blue Planet for some reason.

Lunarians... Obvious, by the name. New novel chapters are published on

They are called gods by the winged people. Like how High Elves would have an incredibly ridiculous higher status than normal elves in many fantasy stories.

Lunarians went to live on Earth convinced by a certain someone... Joyboy.

And these symbols... The bird of the Kozuki clan... A tree... Moons... A Whale...

Everything is connected... They went to live in the Ancient Kingdom...

'It's a pity, right Roger?' For an instant, I'm not in front of a big mural. For an instant I'm in another place, with other people, hearing a male voice at my side... A regretful sigh accompanied his words.

"Hm... That's rare..." I comment to myself after I'm back on the moon. I shake my head.

Ugh, I'm receiving spoilers...

I hold myself back to not think about the end of One Piece and not receiving a spoiler from Roger and Oden's memories, but now that I'm here, it's like I'm being forced to know.

This happens because I already assimilated 100% of them, normally the Essence it's not that aggressive with the "Inheritance of Knowledge", as how I liked to call it. But it's become hard to suppress the knowledge...

My own observations, and instinctive deductions, and theories bring the memories to the front of my mind. Practically slapping it on my face.

Like when you throw a rock at a lake and the sand floats.

I don't want it.

To this day, I still don't know where and what the One Piece is. And all the other mysteries. And sincerely, I don't think I want to know either... It sounds wrong.

Will be unsatisfactory.

Maybe I should look at it by myself... If I suddenly dream of the truth, I will be mad.

I can read the Poneglyphs anyway. I can speedrun and become the King of the Pirates, hehe. I can do this in 1 day...

Nah, maybe next time. From the start... Properly...

.....

Third Person P.O.V.

Marineford

'Now, how to approach this?' Hector muses

His entrance was enough to pause the whole war and gave him the opportunity of assessing the situation.

'I should prioritize the Akuma no Mi's in the hands of the marines, I can hunt the pirates later and the Shichibukai(Seven Warlords) too...' Hector's eyes move from side to side 'But I should save Kuma and copy the Paw Paw no Mi too. Top 5 broken powers in this world...' He decides while giving a glance to the man that became a cyborg without free will.

'Sengoku's Budha fruit is also a top priority because he barely goes out of the headquarters. Even more than the Admirals... There are also other powers from other marines like the Smoke fruit and that bullshit power from that old woman that can 'wash' people...'

'From the pirates, I only need to take that one...' His eyes then move to the Strongest Man in the world, Whitebeard.

'Damn... How that guy is still alive?' After scanning the man with his many powers, even Hector is flabbergasted.

The man shouldn't be walking, much less fighting. And this is not only about the many wounds that he received during this war, more than half of his organs are in a state of total failure.

'Can he even use Haki like that?' Hector asks himself in surprise. Haki is fueled by the "spiritual" energy of a person and this spiritual energy is directly connected with the body and mind.

If you're too tired mentally or with many fatal wounds it becomes harder to use and keep Haki. And using will only worsen your condition, because you're forcing yourself when you should be resting to recover.

'No... He should be only using Haki in a small amount of time, the moment when his attack will land. Damn, the man was fully nerfed...' Hector sighs 'I should go copy his power before he falls dead by a stray bullet or something. Consistency in the durability of characters in One Piece is all crazy...'

In truth, people's durability in this world is also directly connected with Haki in some way.

Everyone has Haki, but only a few know how to use it. But everyone has survival instincts to defend himself in danger.

To that people with crazy durability that can tank cannonballs, their minds are putting the conscious effort of defending themselves. And because of that sometimes these same big shots can be hurt by a simple bullet. Like Oden, he was incredibly exhausted physically and mentally when he was finally executed with a simple bullet.

Or when Garp was hurt by an incredibly weak guy like Axe-hand Morgan because he was taking a nap.

That's the reason why any fodder of the marines can stab Whitebeard with their swords but he tanked a cannonball in his face. And these "fodders" must know the basic of Haki too.

All this thinking lasted less than a second in Hector's head.

"W-who are you?" Ace's voice is still quivering a little from the near-death experience. Not that he was afraid, but mostly because he already accepted his fate and suddenly everything that went through his mind in his last moments are for naught.

"Me?" Hector gestures to himself, smiling a little seeing Luffy hug Ace with tears and snot on his face. Very comical. A stark contrast to how that situation went in canon

"I'm a hero!" Hector suddenly declares with a strong voice.

He spins on himself fast enough to become a blur, and suddenly he is not Hector anymore, he is Eidolon, in his full suit, with his mantle, white hair, and everything.

He stays there posing righteously and heroically, mantle swaying by the wind. There are even some explosions behind him.

"SUGOOI! A HERO!!" Luffy and Ace, even a lot of the male pirates and marines exclaims in awe. With his eyes shining.

Then Hector spins again and he is back to his normal self, with his casual clothes. The only difference from his day-to-day outfit is that he is not wearing glasses.

"But I'm on vacation now, so you can call me... er... Oak D. Hector." He thinks fast and adapts his name.

Carvalho -> Oak, the translation in Portuguese/BR.

De -> D.. It's a preposition that connects two words in a relationship of subordination, with no real meaning.

And he erased the Belucci, just because he felt like it.

'I can use the D., I assimilated Gol D. Roger. Thinking about this...' He looks at Ace again 'Meh, no feeling at all.' He shrugs his shoulders, not feeling any connection with his somewhat "son".

It's still not clear how far the influence of the assimilation goes. He and Thor hit off easily, but it appears that is all on him and no influence of the MCU!Loki's card.

'Well, Roger never met Ace...' He thinks "Call me daddy..."

"What?"

"What? Forget about it..." He shrugs nonchalantly

At this point, battles are already restarting all around the battlefield.

"By the way..." Hector looks at Ace "Are you a retard, retard?" He pushes his finger in Ace's face "Why go back when your win condition is run?" He admonishes

"That bastard badmouthed Oyaji! I can't let that slide!" Ace argues back

"And all the people that sacrificed themselves for you, Huh?" Hector asks

"..ugh" To this Ace has no response

"And everyone that wants you to live, huh? Luffy here, Dadan, Makino, and everyone from the Whitebeard pirates, HUH?" Hector doesn't let that slide.

"...guh!"

Hector sighs "Forget about it. I'm preaching to a wall. You will not stop being who you are because of my words... But I want you to understand the weight of your actions and the cost of your pride. Stupid, retard, baka, matchstick head..." Hector punctuates every offense with a strike of his finger in Ace's face "And what about that tattoo, huh? Did you really don't know how to write your own name? Ase? And you scratched the S instead of erasing it... Stuupid..."

He continues till Ace snaps and shouts back. "It's a homage to my childhood friend!! I'm not that stupid!!"

The two continue to go back and forth comically while Luffy laughs at the side.

"Why are you shouting to you benefactor, you ungrateful bastard? No one even taught you good manners??" Hector shouts back

Ace suddenly stops "Oh.. Yeah." He then instantly adopts a polite posture, with his hands at his side "Thank you for saving me. "And bows his hand in a well-mannered fashion.

All the bickering evaporated just like that.

"Okay, no problem..." Hector also let go of the fight and extends his hand. Shaking his head.

Ace extends his hand too, for a handshake and... *Kachik*

Hector puts a Seastone handcuff on his wrist, blocking his Devil Fruit powers.

"..." Ace's eyes bulge out of their sockets after he understands what has happened "IAAAAAH! You Bastaaard!!!" He shouts, his face morphing comically.

"With this, you need to be careful and only run now..." Hector says calmly.

"HAHAHAHA" Luffy is on the ground laughing now, almost dying from how funny the situation is.

"..." *Kachik* Hector connects the handcuff to his wrist too.

"..." After a second Luffy registers what happened "IAAAAAH!!! You Bastaaard!!!!" His face morphs even more comically than Ace's.

"You are a troublemaker too..." Hector declares with a straight face "Jinbeee... Ivankov!" Hector signals to the ones in the distance. "Babysits these guys till they reach the ship."

The two big guys finally arrive close to them. The fisherman Jinbe, his anatomy is somewhat new, but nothing that Hector isn't used to. There are weirder in the Morlocks and in the BNHA/MHA world...

In truth, Ivankov is weirder than him in Hector's humble opinion... 'That's a big head...'

"Mugi-Boy!" "Ace!" The two exclaim

"Now they can't cause trouble if they are tied to each other..." Hector is explaining before he pauses and looks to the sky.

"Yasakani no Magatama..." Kizaru, one of the three Admirals of marine and the user of the Pika Pika no mi(Light logia fruit), says high in the air with his arms crossed. His hands shone in a yellow-piercing light.

When he finally uncrossed his arms, uncountable deadly light particles rain down on the location of Hector and the others.

All of them prepare to dodge or defend themselves.

But Hector only snorts...

He extends his hand in front of his body and it looks like the air is distorting... Then all particles that are getting closer appear to avoid him and his group.

"Using lasers against me? Please..." He mocks amused "Do you guys know about refraction? I just need to increase the density of the air and the light will bend by itself..." He explains his countermeasure against laser attacks "But if I use the Force..." Then his hand extends behind his back and he makes a grab motion.

All the motes of lights that avoided him and are flying in the air pause like they have been solidified in place. Stopped in time.

He then makes an effort of pulling his hand from the back in a throwing motion "...I have even more freedom to control your attacks."

The motes moved back at high speed like they are going back in time.

The many deadly motes of lights travel fast to different buildings and many groups of marines. Hector obviously will not think that the attack will be effective against the user.

"Wanna try again, Borsalino?" Hector makes a 'come here" gesture with his index finger at the yellow-clad Admiral.

"How terribleee~" Kizaru says in his usual slow manner "The boy is really a monster~"

Then suddenly, one of the eight giants of the Giant Squad of the Marines moves at Hector with an incredible speed for his size.

He swings his huge katana at Hector in a horizontal slash very close to the ground.

*Clank*

A deafening metallic sound echoes when the massive sword clashes against the unprotected body of Hector. And the sword breaks...

"..." Hector sideglances the giants with a 'are you serious?' look "You all are creating a reputation of cannon fodder to the giant race with your actions..." Hector deadpans.

"Impossible..." The giant and many others murmur to themselves.

They are the strongest race in the physical aspect. Only losing to certain monsters that defy common sense.

The giant is a Vice-admiral. He knows Haki.

And all damage he did was a small cut in Hector's long sleeve.

"Machia..." Hector opens his mouth the ground become dark in a spiral motion. From the ground, a giant arm emerges and grabs the head of the giant that attacked Hector and...

*Boom*

...Smashes it on the ground.

Using the giant's head as a support, Gigantomachia slowly emerges from the dark ground. Forty meters tall, dwarfing the other Giants. And this is not even his full height!

Giants in the world of One Piece normally are between 12-14m tall. Oars and Oars Jr, of the Ancient Giants are 60m tall. Sanjuan Wolf, the giant that has eaten a Devil Fruit that can increase his size is 180m tall at least.

Machia in the BNHA/MHA world could reach 25 meters... This was before Hector gave him Mt. Lady's quirk of [Gigantification] that was much more efficient than his own quirk.

And Hector also took Sanjuan Wolf's power too in Impel Down and gave it to Gigantomachia.

Only the two know how tall Machia can be now. But Hector commented that would be tall enough to make a Godzilla Vs Giagntomachia fight be without suspense to even the most oblivious person.

Two people jumped from Machia's back and landed close to Hector's group.

"Mugi-chaan~" Bon Clay shouts after landing, throwing his arms into the air

"Bon-chan!!" Luffy responds equally excitedly after seeing the Okama.

After a small scene of the two running at each other in an apparent slow-motion fashion and with the sunset in the background, funny because Luffy is dragging Ace by the handcuff, they meet each other in a big hug.

Even the other prisoners that escaped from Impel Down are cheering and happy for seeing Bon-chan, that is right now hugging Luffy by the shoulder and doing a celebration dance with their legs synchronized. And Ace was pulled into that too...

Even Hector sneaked with the four and is hugging Bon-chan too. "Selfie time." He use Whole Body Lens to take a picture with them.

"..." Saeko looks at him strangely, which looks a little out of character to him. To goofy around in a situation like that.

But he is simply relaxed and not in Danger.

"...what?" He asked with a deadpan face after getting out of the group, acting like nothing happened "It was this guy. He lowers the I.Q. of people around him." Hector says while he pulls Luffy's cheek

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" It hurts because of the seastone handcuffs

Hector moves again close to Saeko "I will hold the line here... Just go away." He casually shoos Ace and the rest.

They prepare to go away but Jinbe asks before Moving "Who are you and why are you helpings us?" Someone as strong as Hector shouldn't be unknown

"This doesn't matter... I just don't want to Bon-chan's sacrifice to be in vain..." Hector gives them a smile and a thumbs-up.

"All right! Thank you Wavy-hair!" Luffy didn't think much about it and started escaping with Ace.

"Wavy-hair...? Well, could have been worse... Like Yontoryu..." Hector shrugs at the nickname.

"I thought that you would have finished here already..." Saeko comments casually at his side, looking around the battlefield and the many fights occurring all over the place.

"I could... Would've been efficient, but would create some inconveniences. Believe in me, I know." Hector gives a somewhat strange laugh "We still have 3 months... Let's enjoy the journey..."

He continues "If I go around beating everyone on sight now, I will not be capable of enjoying some food and drink with certain people..." He gives a placid smile.

Yes, Hector could've simply beaten everyone and tied them and then took their powers and after that moved all the pirates away to a remote island. And simply end this whole war in a second.

But he doesn't plan on being sucked by the plot and going into a spiral of problematic situations. And would be many times more problematic than what he did in the BNHA/MHA world.

There, he ended the main threat, the people that would create chaos and forced the world to change. Then he gave the tools for the change to be slowly implemented without the need of receiving a huge slap from reality.

Here? There's order in some way. He would need to create chos first and force the change in his limited time. And he doesn't know reliable people to trust the future of the world.

It can be possible to blame Oda for not giving the full picture to the readers. People still don't know the Revolutionary Army's full motivation, or the reasons or why the World Government is like that...

The main candidate to be capable of changing the world, Luffy, has not grown yet. So any change would be for naught if no one can't keep it...

The good and bad side is hard to figure out in this world. He can only figure out the good and bad individuals... There are good and bad people from both sides

And that was the main reason for Blackbeard's demise.

"Sincerely, we could go away right now, and would not be a big loss..." Hector comments.

This little time fooling around with Luffy and others was enough for him to register everyone with powers in his [Search] database.

He even copied Ace's Devil Fruit using his stand as a medium.

'Why Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi was taking so long?' He asks himself 'Protagonist power? Did it have some hidden crazy potential? Whatever, I will copy during his training arc...'

"Till Red-hair arrives, let's collect what I can..." He then looks at a certain point, Saeko following his sight a second late "Took you long enough..." Hector allows a smirk to appear on his face

A second later, the temperature of the surroundings increases significantly and Akainu emerges from the debris boiling in lava.

It's possible to see that the previous attack hurt him considerably because he is bleeding from his head and mouth.

"Ryusei Kazan!" He shouts and shoots many fists of lava in the direction of the retreating group of Ace and the others.

"Damn... A guy that looks like a tough yakuza shouting the name of his attacks like that..." Hector comments casually while the fist of Magma flies over him.

"It really increases the strength of the attack..." Saeko comments on her own experience

"It's because is good for your concentration..." Hector explains and then he moves.

He bends his knees a little before he disappears in a blur.

In the next moment, he is high in the sky, just below the flying fist of magma. And then he does a bicycle kick

*BOOM*

The air pressure disperses the magma "...smash." He says in a low voice while he lets gravity bring him to the ground upside down.

Before he hits the ground, he spins and lands on his feet crouching down.

"I also have some named moves... Hehe." He smiles lightly imagining the face of these people to what he is about to do.

He extends his hand to the side and an ownerless saber that was stuck on the ground shooks before it flies to his outstretched hand.

Akainu prepares himself for the incoming attack, he is now all boiling lava

"Who are you really?" Akainu asks seriously. He feels danger

"To you... The Devil." Hector smirks before he zooms at Akainu at high speed "Be a good dog and sit."

"Meigo!" Akainu shoots a piercing magma punch at Hector.

Hector pauses in front of him and pulls the saber back in a characteristic way that makes some old-school people on the battlefield widen their eyes

"It can't be..."

"Who is that brat?"

Sengoku and Whitebeard comments in Shock

With a big grin, Hector slashes "Kamusari..." Using the attack of the King of the Pirates.

The attack hits Akainu, sending him flying again. This time he will not stand up to fight in this war.

"One of the Rules of Anime... You never mess with a guy in casual clothes. Specially sweatpants and sandals..." Hector jokes to Saeko, raising his foot to emphasize his point.

He then moves fast again and appears above Akainu, stepping on him. "The only reason I don't kill you is that liking you or not, you're only doing your job..." he says to the unconscious man while his stand copies his power

"Saeko!" Hector waves at her to attract her attention "It's that guy over there!" He then points to Mihawk "And Machia, retrieve the body of that giant over there!" Hector instructs

For now, he will let the war play by itself.

...

In another part of the Battlefield, Saeko arrives where two men are fighting.

Mihawk, the strongest swordsman in the world of One Piece, and Vista, the commander of the 5th Division of the Whitebeard pirates are engaged in a sword fight.

But it doesn't appear that the two are going all out, they are very casual.

Saeko bows her head at the two "I'm sorry, it will be rude of me but I'm going to interrupt this fight..." She says apologetically

The two swordsmen side glances at her during a pause.

"Haha. This is what you gain for being the best swordsman in the world, Hawk-Eye. Everyone wants to try to fight you." Vista laughs good-naturedly seeing Saeko's attire and katanas "Are you from Wano, girl? Forget about it now... He is all yours. I'm satisfied already." Vista smiles before jumping away to help in the retreat of his allies

Mihawk eyes Saeko with his usual expressionless face

"This is not a game, girl." He advises

"I know, but if I go away I lose... So why not give it a try?" She speaks calmly while removing one of her katanas from the scabbard.

Mihawk glances at Hector from across the battlefield.

"Seeing that you're his companion, you shouldn't be weak, right? How close you're to his strength?" He asks. He is genuinely interested in Hector.

"Not even a million of me can compare to him." Saeko answers without hesitation

"..."

"But I will not waste your time..." Saeko puts a stance "It's simply because he is too strong. To him, those admirals and recruits are very much the same, no difference. So is the two of us." She doesn't talk more and attacks

Starting with a very straightforward attack

Yoru, Mihawk's sword, moves before she even gets close, standing in the way of the incoming attack.

"Good speed and strength... Very well, I will not take it easy." Mihawk declares, swinging his arm and forcing Saeko to take a few steps back.

"And this is what I want!" A bloodthirsty grin slowly appears on her lips.

....

"Why are you called Whitebeard if you have a mustache?" Hector's voice arrives very close to the Strongest Man's ear.

[Whitebeard is Shirohige. Shiro= White and Hige is any facial hair. Beards, mustaches, whiskers]

He turns his head around to see Hector sitting on his shoulder like it's normal.

"And seriously, the food here must be super nutritious so that you guys can grow this tall..." Hectorcontinuess to talk casually

"Brat... What are you doing?" Whitebeard asks while swinging his naginata to disperse a platoon of marines

He can endure Hector's weird antics because he saved Ace, so he just let the man on his shoulder.

"Right now? Healing you... Aren't you feeling it?" Hector answers while looking around the battlefield. His hands connected with Whitebeard's body

Healing it slowly and also copying his power, obviously.

His words make Whitebeard pause and look at his own hand. He clenches it, trying to feel his own strength.

Instead of getting excited he turns to Hector and asks "Why are you doing this, boy?"

"..." Hector doesn't answer immediately "Because I want." It's what he finally says. A smile grew on his face.

"..."

"I'm only doing what I want. I'm only helping you guys because I like more of your side more than the other side, well except Squard... The guy that stabbed you. I don't like him." Hector says "I wanted to see what will happen if Ace survives... Oh, by the way..." Hector then removes something from his inventory

He holds Blackbeard's head and shows it to Whitebeard.

"This is another guy that I don't like..."

"...Teach."

"He was Impel Down to release some prisoners and recruit crew members." Hector explains and throws and puts the head back in his inventory. "His body is full of surprises..."

Hector then continues "No need to think so hard, Old man. I wanted to see this war, deal with Blackbeard, save Ace, get my Saeko to fight Mihawk, punch Akainu... These things. And now, I want to see you fight at your peak..."

A shit-eating grin emerges on his face while he increases his healing on Whitebeard.

"This annoying attitude of yours of doing whatever you want without considering other people's feelings, and letting the others clean your mess... And this infuriating smile... Are you Roger's son too?" Whitebeard asks.

Hector pauses in surprise before laughing out loud.

"HAHAHAHA. Oh god, no. My Father is cooler than him..." Hector wipes a tear from his eye "Now, let's stop the talking and go Whitebeard, I choose you!" Hector points ahead, to the two bigshots approaching them.

Sengoku and Garp.

"Annoying brat..." Despite his words, Whitebeard smiles while greetings his old enemies with his fist.

.....

Gigantomachia doesn't give a fuck.

That's how Hector would describe his personality to someone.

The guy has tunnel vision to everything that is related to Hector.

If Hector said him to grab Oars Jr., he will go grab Oars Jr., even if he needs to step in everything in his path.

Many marines, from captains to vice-admirals tried to stop him, but he casually bitch slapped everyone away.

Hector from his place on Whitebeard's shoulder watches this 'Hm, I need to deal with this tunnel vision of his. He is too straightforward. People can take advantage of that...' Hector thinks before his attention is turned yet again to Whitebeard's fight

"Galaxy..." Garp jumps and pulls his fist back to release his attack

'Another named move... Okay then.' "I deal with that, Old Man. Detroit..." Hector says raising his fist

"...Impact!" He punches Whiterbeard down, trying to force the man o n his knees

"...Smash." Hector uppercuts the attack with his own, the impact of the two moves creates a shockwave that can be felt through the whole battlefield.

Hector doesn't follow with any attack, he is only giving the minimum of help.

He is making excuses to balance this war to not end that early. He wants to give time to Saeko to have her fun, and he is still eyeing Sengoku's Buddha fruit and Kuma's Paw's fruit.

"It appears that you're the main target now... No, they're aiming at you from the beginning." Hector comments while Whitebeard's Naginata, coated in his own tremor powers, met Sengoku's palm. The Fleet Admiral is now fully transformed into a giant golden Buddha.

"Now that Ace escaped, they want to keep you here at least... And Garp never wanted Ace to die anyway. This is like his reparation..." Hector concludes

Whitebeard snorts at his comments.

"Oh, I see... You never planned to leave this place alive, huh?" Hector eyes the Yonkou. "Trying to end grandly, Old man?"

Once again, Whitebeard does not answer.

"You know... I can save you... Heal your sickness. Give you some yea-" Hector starts saying but is interrupted

"And you will continue to do it forever?" Whitebeard asks simply, cutting him off.

"..."

"Everyone needs to die one day... I'm glad that I can go this way. I couldn't ask for more." Whitebeard says with determination, a grin growing on his face.

Hector sighs. "*Haah* What are the people of this world and being cool? It's on the food too? The Rule of Cool?"

Hector even opens a window on his vision to add Whitebeard's name to his list of "No One is Born Cool Except"

Jokes aside, Hector is really impressed with Whitebeard. Accepting his ending is not something Hector can do for now.

He gives up on saving Whitebeard and allows the man to die of his own free will. 'Isn't this the most important thing in this world? Freedom...'

Whitebeard will die opening a path to the new generation and to his sons.

"You can rest assured, Old man. I will protect you people for a while after you're gone." Hector promises seriously 'The payment for the Gura Gura no Mi'

The Gura Gura no Mi that he just finished copying.

He hops off Whitebeard's shoulders "I stopped healing you, Old Man. In truth, I predicted your answer... and more like suppressed and stabilized your condition. Your life expectancy is shit right now. Go die." Hector then looks at Sengoku "But I will take a little of your burden..." He cracks his knuckles before advancing at the giant golden Buddha

Now he can act a little without unbalancing the battlefield.

Sengoku meets the advancing Hector with a palm that sends golden shockwaves at him.

Hector resists the urge to meet the shockwaves with his new tremor powers and simply punches with his haki casually.

The collision makes Sengoku stumbles backward a little.

Hector smirks seeing that "Your home advantage becomes a disadvantage very quickly, Fleet Admiral."

"Brat..." Sengoku pulls back his fist and punches at Hector.

The attack that was even stronger than before was caught by Hector's much smaller hand.

The ground cracks, the shockwave makes people from far away fall on the ground, and buildings tremble but Hector doesn't budge.

"First, I need to apologize... I underestimated your guys." Hector comments lightly before putting his other palm in Sengoku's fist and then with an adapted Aikido move spinning the giant Buddha off the ground.

Hector didn't watch or read the second part of Wano Arc, so he really didn't know the power level of the people at the top of the One Piece World.

He is surprised that these guys would be capable of holding their ground even in Marvel. With strength and speed that would make many street-level heroes on the Dust. Maybe even easily defeat normal Asgardians...

'Always thought that the max here would be small island. level... With a strike strength of more or less 50 gigatons joules... But these guys, that I know are holding back, can probably reach on the teratons level...' Hector analyzes, it's not only Whitebeard and some special devil fruits that have great destructive power.

It's also necessary to remember that Lifting Strenght is different from Striking Potency.

And yes, they're holding back. That's what Hector was talking about "home disadvantage".

Sengoku, Garp, Whitebeard, the Admirals and the some of the Shicibukai... All of them have the ability to destroy the island where they are in. But none of them are using their full power.

On Whitebeard's part, it's because of his crew's presence. He is slowly showing more and more amazing feats of strength, conforming his people evacuate.

It's funny to think that the environmental destruction would be bigger with fewer people. Or if was a one a one duel.

Hector kicks the still-spinning Sengoku away, and he hits a building. Hector follows closely, jumping high and diving down on Sengoku's chest, his right foot first.

"C'mon~ You need to put more spirit behind it. Look how dangerous I am. If I leave this place the whole world will be at risk..." Hector mocks.

Sengoku grunts in annoyance and tries to squash Hector like a mosquito with his two hands.

Once again, Hector casually stopped it putting a horse stance and blocking with his two hands in each direction.

"Doing half-assed things like that is what got Rosinante killed, you know? You have a spy from Doflaming in your midst..." Hector comments like he is just talking about the weather

"!" But a look of pure anger and surprise appears on Sengoku's face

He increases the pressure on Hector on many folds.

Hector raises his foot and smashes the man's chest before jumping away.

"Hahaha. That's more like it..." He laughs before spinning and goes for another bomb dive.

"This word on your back still has some meaning or is it simply to look edgy and cool? Like a bike gang..." Hector stomps Sengoku's chest again

Everyone has a bad trait. A certain thing that annoys the others.

Some munch too loudly, others walk too slowly, some are obnoxious, others are simply mean...

Hector also has a bad side...

He is incredibly talented in being an asshole.

This even makes him question his own morals. He needs to put effort into being a good person, but he is good at being bad...

He is simply a master in trash talk. Loki, the BNHA/MHA world, and others suffered under his venomous tongue.

If asked he will answer that he will jokingly say that he is Brazillian, the most toxic race on the internet.

And he can't even blame his assimilations... He was like that even before coming to Marvel.

An all-purpose spaceship created by Hector utilizing as a base Cortana blueprints and S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

It was created by Hector exclusively for this world, mostly to show off.

The real Forward Unto Dawn, Hector's personal spaceship, is... a little more impressive... And is in the Hangar of the Zeta Space Station in the Marvel world.

All around people are flabbergasted seeing the flying spaceship, some have a thought passing through their minds. There's the legend of the Ancient Weapons...

One of them is a ship capable of destroying an entire island... Could this be?

"Heavy ho!" Hector grabs Whitebeard telekinetically and starts floating to the ship.

Saeko starts jumping in the air till she reaches the top of Dawn.

"MACHIA! Wait till I call you!" Hector shouts at Machia.

A huge portal appears close to the two giant men and Machia starts to drag Oars Jr. away with him.

"What you are thinking you are doing, Brat?" Whitebeard asks angrily from his position of being manhandled.

"Relax, I will respect your wishes... Somewhat. I'm not gonna save you..." Hector rolls his eyes "I know how bothersome is to try to save someone that doesn't want to be saved." Hector says

"..."

"Today is the day that the pirate Whitebeard dies. He dies in a pretty cool way... Standing against powerful foes, Protecting his crew, his last words reignited the flames of the Pirate Era. The perfect end for him. But..." Hector pauses "I will give you a proper ending, Old man. A fitting end to the man, Edward Newgate."

Whitebeard scoffs "What a brat that doesn't even have hair on his chest know about me?"

"Well, a lot really..." Hector says flatly "But I think that a man that values family more than treasures or the throne of Pirate King would be happy to die differently."

Hector concludes"In his bed, surrounded by his children..."

"..."

"You have some cool last words to the world. Didn't you have none to your children, Old man?" Hector sideglances him.

"You have your pride. That never running away shit, sorry if I'm making you go against your own beliefs but I think that in the face of truly important things, your pride is the first thing you should discard."

"..." Whitebeard sighs "You're not gonna listen to anything I say, right?" He is convinced

"Nope, Toretto. Nothing is more important than the family" Hector doesn't hesitate to answer.

They finally landed on the ship's deck

Hector looks down on Marineford "Bye, bye Sengoku! Relax, Whitebeard is dead. You guys didn't leave empty-handed! Behave if not I will come back! Tell you gods that the Devil is around, ready to punish some unruly children!" Hector waves at them like old friends saying goodbye

At this point, most of the pirates are already leaving the port of Marineford.

Dawn then moves fast at the port, Hector looks over the edge of the ship at the other pirates below

"I meet you guys some kilometers northwest. Bye, Suckers!" Hector shouts at Marco and the others

And then Dawn goes at hypersonic speed and disappears on the horizon.

He really brought it only to show off.

...

The War has ended. This war that will be known as the War of the Best, or the prelude of the Dawn of the Devil, ended with a clear loser.

The pirates are now escaping, not only the bunch that participated in the war, but also those that come to watch this from a distance to witness this historic event.

Many and many pirate ships disperse at the four winds.

The Marines can't follow them.

And high in the air, one Hector slowly floats looking down at these ships with a predatory gaze.

He focused on the hard-to-get high-ups of the marine's powers, now he can go around catching these headless chickens.

"Surrounded by their weakness... Simply too easy." His smirk widen before he starts the hunt.

.....

Shanks Ship arrives on Marineford sometime later.

But the war is already over

"So... What did we miss?" Yassop looks around, checking that has no battle with his good vision

"..."

Hector looks at their ship from a distance "Boring..." He breathes outs

He has no interest in these guys

"Hm~ Should I go for Kaido now? Nah, I have time."

...

In an unsuspecting small ship. Hector is standing above the defeated passengers.

This ship was stolen by some prisoners from Impel Down, and the main guy leading this band of criminals is now glaring at Hector that is holding his last subordinate by the neck.

'This power of turning his body into blades will be a good gift to Saeko...' Hector thinks while he copies Daz Bones Devil Fruit.

He then finally turns at Crocodile.

"Don't worry, I don't feel like killing you, Sir Crocodile." Hector smiles at him "I have a very important question..."

"..." The prideful crocodile doesn't deign to talk with him

"Are you... By any case... Luffy's mom?" Hector tilts his head and asks seriously

...

In another part of this sea.

"Captain that guy is out there!"

"I know..." Trafalgar Law groans while his submarine continues to go deeper into the ocean the fastest possible.

They are starting to back down after the war ended when the main actor of the whole thing appears floating above them with an innocent smile on his face.

They dipped down the fastest they could.

Now they're safe, here on the ocean... It's what they think.

Suddenly the whole submarine yanks and stops brusquely.

"What is happening?" Bepo, the polar bear mink, shouts in alarm.

Then the submarine starts to go up.

"We will emerge!" The guy on the controls shout

"All power to go down!" Law orders but is too late.

Grabbed telekinetically like a toy, the submarine emerges on the surface and doesn't stop. It continues to float in the air.

"Knock Knock. If you don't appear I will open it myself..." Everyone hears Hector's voice outside

"..."

Silence reigns inside the submarine for sometime

"I will go out there." Law finally says "If he enters in my range..."

"Your power will not work in me, I have Haki." Hector's voice interrupts him "Just come out to have a little talk."

"..."

The hatch of the submarine is open and Law's Upper body appears.

Hector smiles seeing him. Here it is... One of the main reasons for him to come to this world.

"No need to be so on guard, I'm a doctor too..." Hector comments and slowly floats to the submarine. He crouches on the surface and pats Law on the shoulder

"I will be direct. I like you. And I plan to deal with Doflamingo in some time... So it doesn't sound right taking away your revenge" Hector says making Law's eyes widen.

How could he know?

"So here is the deal... One month training with me and I can guarantee that you can at least take a piece of him before I finished the rest and you owe me a favor..." Hector smiles wide and slowly extends his hand at Law.

"..." Law is too cautious to accept like that.

"C'mon. If you go to the New World right now you are fucked. You don't even know Haki. You must know about Haki, right? You're smart... The second part of the Grand Line is mostly controlled by the Yonkos, no matter what route you take you will meet them too early and be humbled." Hector explains.

"..."

"Don't you want to avenge Corazon? Doesn't feel like every day Doflamingo is breathing an insult to his memory? Are you gonna let him win?"

Hector smiles doesn't falter even when Law doesn't move.

"One month in Hell and I can make you strong."

"A deal with the Devil, huh?" Law looks at him with narrowed eyes.

"Exactly." Hector chuckles "But there's no catch." The hand still outstretched

"..." Law doesn't trust him not even a little. But they are at his mercy right now. The man can kill him and his crew at any time. What's the use of some trick?

Law shakes his hand.

...

"Well, Well... If isn't Captain Eustass Kid." Hector comments while crouching on the mast of Kid's ship, Looking down on them.

The pirate crew is sweating at his presence

"You know... I never liked you." Hector comments "So let me humble you a little, before I go in my way."

Suddenly many metallic objects start floating in Kid's Direction, forming a huge arm.

"Well, at least you have balls..." Hector says while watching the man in question jump to attack him. His Vice-captain followed him.

Well, a second later the two are defeated and sprawled on the ground.

Hector standing above them, Mr. Blue Sky copying Kid's magnetic powers.

The rest of the crew stays paralyzed in fear.

"Only good in bullying innocents, huh?" Hector's eyes bore onto them, making them flinch.

After taking what he come to get, Hector slowly started to float away, without looking back. Treating Kid like trash.

He has no interest in even annoying the guy.

It's not because he didn't like the guy, that he will kill him. And he doesn't know if this guy will have a redemption arc. It's possible considering that he is a "good guy" in the manga.

So he will be spared.

Hector then suddenly stops "...but there's a difference between bravery and recklessness." He says and slowly turns around to see Kid standing up slowly.

Once again, metallic objects float at him. This time to form a large weapon.

"A railgun? Interesting..." Hector stays still and lets him finish his big move.

Few things are more scary than a guy that can take your best shot and remains unfazed. He plans to crush Kid's spirit a little.

If the guy never bounces back... Well, that's his problem.

But then Hector frowns when the Railgun fails. It appears that Kid hasn't perfected this power.

"Well, that's anticlimatic..." Hector scratches his cheek "Betting in powers that you can't control... You lost your best then..." Hector suddenly disappears.

He reappears again in the same spot, this time he is holding something.

"If you like acting like a pirate, I will help you look the part." He says holding Kid's right leg in his hand.

Kid falls on the ground with a low shout.

Hector finally starts to go away.

In Kid's ship, the supernova remains sprawled on the ground, being tended by his crew.

"Hey, what is that?!" One crewman suddenly asks pointing a Kid's chest.

There, a blue point of light appears.

"..." Everyone looks at it confused.

The point starts to expand in size, and in some seconds is already covering Kid's whole body.

And doesn't stop on that, the circle of blue light takes over most of the deck.

They feel their hair standing up and then...

*Boom*

A blue laser fall from the sky, destroying the ship in smithereens.

Hector stays in the air looking at it with an impassive face

"El Thor sounds wrong..." He comments.

"Maybe Heavenly Tribulation..." Another Hector appears at his side. The one that used Enel's iconic move on Kid's ship. He just arrived from the moon.

"Smite doesn't sound bad either..." Hector comments while looking at the shipwrecks.

The other Hector fuses back with him.

"I didn't go all out, but people here are really resilient." Hector comments feeling that Kid is still alive. Barely, but alive.

"Whatever... Oh, Capone Bege is here too? I like his power." Hector goes away without giving Kid another look.

The difference in treatment between Kid and Law is obvious. The guy has his favorites.

....

Sabaody Archipelago

The situation is a little tense right now.

Facing Cassandra and Tsukasa, a Tenryuubito and his entourage.

"What you're thinking you're doing? Just come crawling at me right now girl. I want you!!" Saint Charlos, the same guy that was punched by Luffy, appears to not have learned his lesson and is shouting petulantly at the duo.

To give context, Cassandra and Tsukasa are minding their own business in a little market filled with food stalls in the groove close to the plaza where the execution is being live-streamed.

When suddenly they noticed that the mood suddenly shifted. People around them grew eerily silent and they all fell to their knees.

Cassandra noticed the reason fast and pulled Tsukasa away to hide behind a food stall.

Then he finally notices the bizarre scene.

An ugly and fat man with strange clothes and a bubble helmet is mounting another man that is crawling on all fours. Guards, like they are part of some secret service, surround them.

"So these are the 'annoying people' that Hector-san talked about..." He mutters in a low voice.

He is not one to judge people fast. But it's obvious that this guy is a bastard.

Everything is going without a problem before the man in question suddenly exclaims like a child and points to the crowd kneeling.

"That Woman! She will be my new wife!" He declares like it's only natural for the world to follow his wishes.

The people tremble. The women slowly raise their heads, afraid of being the one that he referring to.

"I got rid of a bunch of my wives recently. I need replacements... She is pretty young, and will last more." St. Charlos exclaims like he had a great idea.

The Woman in question, finally noticed that is with her. She looks like she is Tsukasa's age, and tears start forming in her eyes. And she looks at the side slowly.

It appears that the middle-aged man standing beside her is her Father, but he is only Looking down while trembling. His fist bawled and he is biting his lips to the point of blood gushing out.

The girl despairs even more seeing that. She has no hope.

Two guards start moving at the girl and professionally grab her arm to drag her. They didn't ask for permission, they didn't even say a word.

"That's awful..." Tsukasa frowns seeing the scene. But he is powerless, he can only later report to Hector, so that he can save the girl.

*PAH* *PAH*

Suddenly two loud slap-like sounds are heard and the guards are sent flying.

Tsukasa's mouth slowly goes opens seeing Cassandra standing in front of the girl and glaring at the World Noble and his guards.

The rest of the people are even more surprised than Tsukasa. They remember some days ago when the pirate Strawhat punched a Tenryuubito.

It's something similar going to happen now?

St. Charlos grow furious, things are going bad for him these last days. It appears the world is going crazy.

"What are you doing, scum?? You dare challenge a World Noble?" He shouts at her then he stops.

His angry expression shifts to one of contemplation.

"Oh! Aren't you better than the other girl? And exotic too... I decided! I want this girl!" He says, his mood happy again.

"..." Cassandra tilts her head to the side, only someone really observant would notice how angry she is right now.

Tsukasa slowly moves to Cassandra's side without saying a word.

"Who are you? Her boyfriend? It's your honor that I liked her. Kill him so that she won't have any regrets about being mine." St. Charlos says like is the most natural thing in the world.

Another group of guards starts to advance toward the duo.

St. Charlos is not even paying attention, his mind drifting about the fun things he will do when he gets home.

And he is pulled back from reality when his guards are sent flying over his shoulder.

And now, back to the present.

"What you're thinking you're doing? Just come crawling at me right now girl. I want you!!" He shouts.

People are still watching with bated breaths the confrontation, and some start slowly moving away.

"I ask myself if is fate..." A clear and deep voice is heard and Hector suddenly stepped out of thin air. "If the D. is really pushed to be the Enemy of the World Nobles..."

The atmosphere gets even heavier.

"Oy oy... Isn't that...?" Some people gulp seeing his face

"The guy on the war..."

"But... But... How could he be here so fast...?"

Some were smart enough to predict the right conclusion of this confrontation in their minds.

'This World Noble is gonna die!!!' They think.

The World Nobles are the descendants of the founders of the World Government, the people that molded the known world.

They're untouchable.

If someone hurts them, an Admiral will appear to capture or kill the culprit.

This threat alone is a deterrent to anything bad that can happen to a World Noble no matter how annoying they are.

This is an absolute truth that lasted 800 years.

People are used to that. This is how it is...

But now...

Hector defeated the three admirals by himself...

Does he even care about a World Noble?

From Hector's side, he is looking down on St. Charlos with scrutiny.

He recognizes the man instantly. He is on the list of "People to Punch".

Hector's face shows disgust Looking at this creature.

Theoretically, these people are descendants of the great people that defeated JoyBoy and the Ancient Kingdom. A Kingdom with great technology...

How can their descendants be these scum? In this world where strength is inherited...

'Betrayal...' A voice whispers in his ear. He narrows his eyes and sighs about the spoilers.

I miss really growing these guys like cattle.

He sideglances the situation, he can understand clearly with one look.

"Good job, Cassandra. By the way, I said to avoid them only because I don't want to dirt your eyes... These people are ants." Hector pats her head before she thinks she did something bad.

"Why aren't you all kneeling?!!?" St. Charlos screams in frustration, stomping his foot like a kid.

Hector slowly turns to look at him again and then he laughs.

"Hahahahaha." He guffaws freely, even covering his face with a hand "Oh god *Haah* Hahaha This is so pathetic that is funny!" He wipes a tear from his eye

"..." People are looking at him like he is crazy. Some people know that he is.

"World Noble..." Hector starts talking after controlling his breath.

"Tenryuubito... Celestial Dragon..." He chuckles again

"Gods... Pfft..."

"I've never seen someone so underserving of their titles!" He guffaws again.

"..." It's the truth that everyone thinks but no one is brave enough to say. At least, right here and right now.

"All right, all right..." Hector controls himself again "So... 'God'. I'm the Devil." A smirk starts growing on his face "Sooooo..." He trails off.

He slowly raises his finger. 'Time to shock the world even more... No one even killed a Tenryuubito in the story... Surpassing Luffy's achievement doesn't sound bad.' Hector muses

But he is the one that is shocked in the next second...

While he is theatrically ready to make the man feel fear, preparing himself to "bang" his ear to make him understand that he is not a god and is simply a fragile person, then killing afterward...

Cassandra moves faster than him, arriving in front of the Tenryuubito, and punching his guts.

The World Noble's eyes almost fly off their sockets.

"...!" Hector's eyebrows shot up to his forehead seeing this scene. 'KS...' He jokes in his mind.

Yes, this punch will kill Charlos in the next ten seconds.

It literally turned his insides to a pulp, he is trashing on the ground in great pain, but at least will be fast.

Cassandra stands beside the man in silence, watching him die without blinking.

Hector walks to her side and takes a close look at her.

This is a huge event... Cassandra that hesitated in killing S'ym that time on Limbo. Cassandra that can feel what people feel because of her training and because of her Observation Haki killed someone on her own initiative.

Hector put a hand on her shoulder reassuringly

"If you have to start from somewhere, few are better than this guy..." Hector comments "How are you feeling?" He asks worried

"..." She looks up at him before turning her face around "...I can take it." She says

"Eh?" Hector is surprised once again.

A full sentence? Trying to act like an adult... His eyes widen in realization.

'Is she mad because I let her out of the war?' He asks himself.

So now she is showing that she doesn't need to be pampered.

"Okay..." Hector says slowly.

He was simply worried about her "Empatich Sensitivity". In the canon, Koby suffered a lot with his Haki during the war.

Cassandra slowly moves away to stay beside the green-faced Tsukasa, holding himself from puking. He is not used to seeing people dying like that.

Hector watches Cassandra back 'They Grow up so fast...Sniff'

He then turns to the shocked guards of the Charlos. "Tell your master that they have been naughty kids... The Devil is out there to punish them, don't leave you little land."

Hector then stomps the ground, creating a huge spike of Earth that impales St. Charlos, raising high in the air for everyone to see.

"The world will know now... Gods bleed." He smirks

.......

New World.

Mobydick Ship, Sea

The mood is heavy and sad on the iconic Whale ship of the Whitebeard pirates.

In the deck, a huge bed accommodates the strongest man in this world. He is surrounded by his closest sons.

The rest of the fleet is also around the Mobydick ship. Dawn is close too.

"It's okay, Marco... It's my time..." Whitebeards says slowly to the efforts of the First Commander.

Marco is doing everything he can to keep the Old Man alive.

"Oy Hector! Can't you help Oyaji, like you helped me?" Ace shouts frantically at Hector that is standing close to them.

Hector eyes his begging expression., sighs, and decides to lie

"No can do... Stopping an unnatural death is easy... The Old Man reached the end of his life expectancy. Let him rest." Hector says heavily

People around him look down with balled fists, tears in their eyes.

"..." Whitebeard and Hector's eyes meet for an instant and the Old man nods at him.

*Pah* Hector slaps Ace's head.

"Don't make such a sad face, Idiot. He will not die that easily." Hector says to Ace. The fire user looks up to him "While you remember him on your mind and carry his will and teaching on your heart he will live. He will live Forever!" Hector says

He understands Whitebeard a little.

"He has so many sons and daughters... He will really live Forever... Send him to his rest with a smile!" Hector says before turning around to give space to this family

He reaches the corner of the deck, at Saeko's side, and leans on the edge.

Luffy is close too, keeping a respectful distance from the whitebeard pirates together with Jimbe. A rare serious look on his face looking at the sad scene.

'I will tell them that Sabo Is alive later..." Hector decides.

He knows from personal experience that good news while you're in a sad mood doesn't brighten you as you expect. It only creates conflicting feelings.

He will let them pour out their sadness first.

After some minutes, Edward Newgate closes his eyes from the last time.

A heart-wrenched scream was heard from Ace. Others also are crying silently.

The scream from Ace is enough for people on the other ships who know of the bad news. Slowly, a wave of sadness spreads on all ships.

"People don't die when they're killed... They die when they're forgotten..." Hector quotes while looking at the sky.

He is thinking about a lot of things right now.

'If is like that Eidolon is immortal and Hector is as fragile as anyone.' Hector reaches this conclusion.

As Eidolon, he touched so many lives. He remembers a cool comic where The One Above All one time showed Peter everyone that he saved as Spider-man.

'Eidolon is an immortal symbol...But Hector...' He shakes his head

"Hector" life looks so... small.

He gazes at the sad scene of the Whitebeard pirates crying their eyes out around the Old man. His eyes are unfocused.

Not for the first time he feels like there's a invisible screen between him and other people.

"Hector" had a normal life... With his parents. They're his world.

Then when he came to Marvel. These pillars of normalcy are taken out from him.

It's difficult to conciliate.

Even if so many things are similar in his two lives, it looks completely different. He lost more than his parents that day... He lost his entire normal life. And the path was closed Forever.

And is not easy at seems to adopt this new one. He doesn't integrate himself...

He created a new life... New people, New Hector... No... Eidolon...

He slowly extends his hand at the scene, at these people... It feels like he can't touch them.

'Characters... A fictional world where I'm a god...' He sighs 'When you become untouchable you become unable to touch...'

Since he arrived at Marvel his strongest emotions are only related to his family. The Family he had before.

The normal constant in his life... Remnants of his other life. His true life...

He feels sadness seeing Whitebeard dying and everyone grieving. But he was feeling this sadness with them? Or... This sadness is exactly like when he watched it through a screen of a TV?

He asks himself if he is destined to never have a true and strong connection with anyone in these "fictional" worlds.

'Every power has a price... And this is my cross...'

He turns to look at Saeko, she is respectfully standing there. Silently making a prayer for the old man.

'When Kizaru threatened her...'

He felt anger... In his mind, she knows that she was never in real life-threatening danger. But that anger was irrational...

'Like it should be...'

He extends his arm and grabs her hand on his own.

She opens her eyes and looks at him. Her head tilted, asking a question...

"Just... Let me hold you for some time..." He says slowly and in a low voice.

Her face blanks for a little before she smiles and nods, without asking a reason.

His eyes close and he focuses on her small hand on his grasp. Her warmth...

'She is real...' He thinks the obvious, but he still repeats to himself.

With his senses, he can feel everyone nearby. The thousand of people grieving for Edward Newgate. Their heartbeat, their sadness...

'They are all real...' He repeats the obvious again.

That invisible screen separating him from the world shows cracks that existed for a long time but he never noticed.

And the cracks are only increasing.

.....

A.N.: Ahoy

Being a god in a world where you know that was fictional can go over your head.

He didn't reincarnate as a baby and spent his life acclimating himself to his new reality. Our guys is in Marvel for like six months.

He tries to not see the world as a game, but that thought is Always on the back of his mind. The Main Character Syndrome... I believe everyone in the same situation would pass for something similar.

I know that I would.

And I bet you guys too. Like a predisposition in liking or disliking someone. MJ *Ahem*. Maybe we would close many doors because of that.

Anyway, let me ask you guys a question... This chapter has some strong emotions, funny scenes. I hope you guys liked it. So... Didn't it look more gratifying reading this after the last chapters of angsty and pessimism? Didn't the build-up pay off? At least made this a little better, don't agree?

The One Piece world is full of strong emotions that will be good for our MC. That's why I choose it.

By the way, I read in some comments that some of the readers didn't read One Piece and are a little lost... Well, there isn't much I can do about that. I even went to an arc that happens 10 years ago(damn, I'm old).

After this arc, I will make a big Recap showing everything he gained, did and etc. To the non-readers of One Piece.

I will try to explain things a little more in detail. If other readers can be kind souls and put images of the characters, will help. There's a lot. I'm lazy.

Beyond that, I can only recommend reading the manga. It's good. I re-read it in one week to write this arc.

Someone asked if staying 3 months isn't too long... Well, will be explained the reason in the next chapter. But I can say the main one right now.

He acquired a lot of powers recently;

As a control freak, he wants time and freedom to train. There's magic too...

And about Luffy's devil fruit.

Yes, he will copy it. He is smart enough to figure out there's something more about it. And Luffy's powers are slightly different from normal people's elasticity. Like from reed and Helena parr.

Now I just need to decide... Who will be the victim of the debut of Toon Force Eidolon?

Anyway, till next time.

Bye.
