Grand Line, Long Ring Long Land Island:
"For us, the residents of the first half of the Grand Line, it remains quite challenging to come across an art store, given their scarcity scattered here and there."
"That's right, but it doesn't matter! Our Longarm Tribe band's headquarters will be established here from now on, Yoho!"
"Don't you agree, my child Apoo?"
A tall man with two elongated arms looked strangely at a little kid who also had long hands and a peculiar haircut resembling a banana atop his head.
"Apoo? APOO! Can't you hear me? YOo-YOow"
The father gazed at his silent child once more, but this time he was taken aback by the current situation.
The kid named Apoo was engrossed, his mouth wide open, while staring at the manga book "One Piece."
"This... Oyaji, isn't Scratchmen Apoo the name you gave me?!" Apoo asked his father in confusion.
"What's this? Let me see..."
"..."
A few minutes later, the manga volume slipped out of Apoo's father's hands, leaving him standing there in utter disbelief.
"Pinch me, my son. I want to know if I'm dreaming... because only in a dream could my son be a prominent pirate with a bounty equivalent to 198 million beri on his head! Fuck!"
"Heh~ So, I'm going to become a famous pirate... no wonder, I always had this feeling that I would be a significant character someday, Roar of the Sea? What a great title, Yao Yao!"
Apoo appeared exceedingly thrilled today, unlike his usual days, because today is the day he became a prominent character in the famous manga.

[Grove 22]
"A monster's on the loose!"
The sound of clashes and explosions can be heard everywhere near a battlefield where three individuals are present.
"If you want to do this, wait until you're in the New World!"
It is better to say that the third party intervenes to stop the conflict between the other two.
-------------------------------------------
From North Blue, Captain of the Drake Pirates. 'The Red Flag' X Drake - 222,000,000 beri.
-------------------------------------
"You're that disgraced marine officer Drake, huh...?"
The large man with wings holstered his heavy weapon behind his back before continuing to speak: "Fufu. Looks like your life is spared for today... Masked man."
"..." The masked man with two scythes did not respond but remained on guard.

North Blue, Minion Island:
Minion Island is a winter island with a cold climate throughout the year, much like the Drum Kingdom in the Grand Line.
This island is considered a lawless area where pirates and underworld gangs can be seen everywhere.
However, the most famous pirate crew that considers this island their stronghold is the Barrels Pirates. Their captain is a former Marine officer who turned pirate for complex reasons.
At this moment, Barrels and his crew were reading One Piece manga in their cozy tavern, enjoying the fantastic and celebratory mood they experienced once a month whenever a new One Piece volume was released.
"This... Am I dreaming?! Impossible!"
Barrels trembled when he saw the introductory profile of a certain supernova. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What's wrong, Captain?!"
"What's happening?!"
"Did something catch your attention in the manga?!"
Barrels' outburst caught the attention of his pirate crew, so they rushed to find out what was going on.
Barrels was a large, fair-skinned man with a prominent chin, pointed nose, and small ears. He had short, organ-like hair. He wore a dark-colored buttoned shirt and a light-colored pirate-style coat.
"This... This... It's my son, Drake!!!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Captain! How could your son become a Marine officer and then abandon his naval uniform to become a pirate again?"
"But..."
"Current age of Dory is 9 years..."
Barrels knew well that his son had aspired to become a high-ranking officer in the Navy in the future. Of course, that was before the emergence of the Hunters' Guild and One Piece manga.
Even after Barrels left the Navy and physically beat his son to rid him of the idea of joining the Marines, his son Dory, as he called him, still wanted to join the Navy because he saw true justice in it in this world.
But with the emergence of One Piece manga and the display of some of the Navy's true colors, Drake's regard for the Navy subconsciously diminished, and his preference for the Hunters increased instead.
Barrels looked at his son, who sat in the corner, wide-eyed and absorbed in the pages of the manga, shocked.
"My son... This is your future... You will become a pirate, just like your father, hahaha!"
Barrels laughed like a madman, and his pirate crew joined in the laughter, equally insane.
No doubt, today was an utterly crazy day, as their captain's son appeared in the manga as a high-valued Supernova pirate with a hefty bounty.
...
Sky Island, Birka:
The eyes of a certain monk shimmered with excitement as he immersed himself in the captivating world of the manga One Piece, flipping through its pages within the confines of the recently established art store called 'Birka,' a venture brought to life not long ago by Rob.
After persistent appeals from the God of Birka, his fervent wishes were finally granted.
Now, alongside the art stores gracing the ethereal Sky Island of Alabasta and the enchanting Sky Island realms known as "Angel Street" and "Upper Yard," the art store 'Birka' emerged as the fourth art store. disregarding the art stores that had served as the very foundation of the illustrious Sky Port.
The monk, adorned with majestic wings that stretched gracefully from his back, gazed upon the manga's pages with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
"A fallen monk...? Could this portrayal be a reflection of myself?"
Up until that moment, Urouge had yet to fully fathom the significance of the images and narrative woven within the manga's panels.
Similar perplexity befell the denizens of Birka, their eyes fixated upon him with sheer admiration and incredulity.
"It appears that I may have indulged in one too many spirited libations," he mused, a mischievous undertone lacing his words, "Fufu."
