"If you get the chance please check out Flick sportswear they are in my opinion a brand worth giving money to," Said Theodore towards the camera
"Ahem Mr Hunt I couldn't help but be interested in this cosplay your group is wearing, can you shed some light on where these characters come from" Said Zasha while signalling her cameraman to get a video of Theodore's friends
"Ah, these characters come from Rose's Fairy Tale series. I'm the Big Bad Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood" Theodore put his claws out and swiped the air while snarling
Sophie took the hem of her cloak and raised her head with an evil look "How dare you, I am Maleficent a fairy of darkness. Holder of all the powers of hell"
Mary then stepped forward and grabbed the belt wrapped around her waist with both hands while raising her chest in a prideful manna "Strongest man in the kingdom Gaston, how do you do my lady"
Grace put her glasses with her arms open. A comforting voice sounded from her expressionless face "Come give your grandma a hug, Little Red"
Sasha clapped as Theodore and his friends bowed "Maleficent is Sophie aka JustSophie a close friend and perceived fan rivel of Mr Hunt. Gaston is Mary Write agent/manager of Mr Hunt who is also perceived by fans as a rival. Now, this last one Grandma, I could be wrong but are you, Grace Thompson?"
Grace calmly nodded "It's a pleasure to sponsor such an occasion. As such I decided to put everything to the side and participate in hopes of seeing many like minded people"
"Hmm you appear to be close to Mr Hunt can I assume that this is business-related"
Grace quickly glanced at Theodore before replying "Like I said it's a pleasure"
Theodore felt like an immense number of eyes filled with hate watching him "Zasha this isn't live right?"
"Huh of course, I can guarantee that you will have a new batch of 'loving fans' Mr Hunt. This was Zasha Watanabe reporting live from L.A's big run"
Theodore awkwardly waved.
For the next few hours, Theodore would keep away from the sides as he noticed the growing number of 'fans' joining the audience. He would hear shouts of men and women chanting their love n hate for him with "Fuck you chadzilla" or "I love you Daddy" being the most common.
When he went to grab some water several crazed female fans would jump the fence to get a selfie while also sneaking a kiss in. Mary would then wipe it off with a hanky while Sophie and Grace would give the fans a vicious stare.
As they come around a corner they see the finish line just 200 meters away. Theodore's group were consistent with their pace and kept themselves between 60 and 55. Theodore was purposely slowing down and putting his Master acting to use.
His steps got heavier, his arms barely swung and he gasped for air at every step. He looked fatigued and that was perfect for him.
Mary seeing this put her arm around him and lent into his ear "I was thinking of wearing something special to reward you but it doesn't look like you want first place!?"
Her lust-filled voice shook his body before replying "Maybe if you describe 'special' I'll be more motivated?"
"I have some options. There's the common whore package. Fishnet bodysuit tight wrapped around my naked body ready to be ripped and torn, black knee-high boots, heavy makeup that would turn into a hot mess after some sloppy head. Or maybe you'd prefer French maid package where I'm not only in a maid costume but shout at you in French while you destroy my body"
Theodore's imagination went wild as those two scenarios played out in his head. He calmed himself down with a few breaths and gave a heavy nod.
"Mary I think you're getting too close to Theo," Said Sophie as she pulled Mary away
Grace gave Theodore a playful nudge. Theodore gave her a harmless smile while his eyes darted from her beautiful face to her massive tits that bounced with every step. Even though the grandma costume was tightly fixed to her skin with pink ribbons it seems they could not restrain them from jumping.
Theodore shook his head and focused his sight on the finish line: "I'm going to get myself that first place trophies or is it a medal who cares it's mine"
He broke away from the group and charged forward only to feel a weight fall on his back. Turning around he saw Grace, Sophie and Mary closely behind him.
"Who said it's your's!?" Shouted Sophie confident as ever
"Sorry Theo but you'll have to beat me to get first," Said Mary
"I can at least be in the top 5 so please don't mind me," Said, Grace
The group made up of beautiful people hurried with newfound energy as they sprinted past other contestants. Behind them were shocked faces as they got closer to the finish line. In first was Mary and Theodore with Sophie in third and Grace In fourth.
They were side by side before Mary picked up speed and left him in the dust. Theodore was in shock but he quickly focused and gave one last push. Mary was just inches away before seeing a blurred flash by and break the ribbon.
On the other side of the ribbon, Theodore was on the floor with sweat pouring from his face his chest rising n falling.
While on the floor he put his hands up and gave a hearty shout "Whoo hahaha!"
Mary didn't even break a sweat as she then goes to pull Theodore.
"Gasp I thought I was the monster huff, you're not even sweating," Said Theodore still trying to calm his breathing
Then Sophie and Grace came crashing into them also out of breath.
"What the hell Mary? How are you so fast? Do you even have sweat glands!?" Shouted Sophie
"Gasp, It must have been the training she did with her Grandfather," Said Grace while fixing her bonnet
. . . . . . . .
Just before they reached the finish line the clone at home was still entertaining chat with Sole Piece.
"Blueno was lost for words. He began to analyse his situation 'He's easily keeping up with me. He was able to redirect my Rankyaku. What amazing physical ability "
"While lost in his thoughts Luffy spoke with some disappointment "It's no good! I'm no good like this. I thought about it when I lost to Akoiji. If there are more people that strong out there on the ocean. .... I need to get stronger... to protect my nakama. Because I have nakama much weaker than me... who I want to be with. If I don't get stronger than everyone... then I'll lose them all" Blueno asked him impatiently "Get to the point".
Before continuing Theodore pulled out a small notebook. He then began to flip through it quickly giving the manga visible motion.
"Luffy contained to explain, "I thought of a way to become way more powerful. So that I never lose anyone. So that I can keep them by my side" Blueno watched on confusedly as he attempted to understand 'what's he doing? What's happening inside his body' Luffy replied confidently "You're...no match for me now" Blueno scoffed "What?" Luffy didn't care "All of my moves are on a whole new level. GEAR SECONDO!"
Chat had not expected the use of a flipbook and we're even more surprised with every page being a coloured one.

Just as the hype was boiling over the edge Theodore reached for the sketchbook only to abruptly close it.
*Slam*
"That's it for today, look I'm almost at the finish line," Said Theodore as the feed switched to a full screen of the run.

Chat did not care for the run but instead bombed the chat with slurs and donation stating their displeasure.
Shortly after Theodore was presented with a trophy and the crowd's cheers. Despite the happy occasion chat was still begging for more chapters.
