"Bella looks angry... Sigh~"

After arriving at his palace, Rob cleverly avoided all the palace maids so that news of his return would not be revealed. He had been away for a week and wanted to find his beloved daughters first, and quell Bell-mère's anger later. Of course, even without searching, he knew where his children were the moment he entered Ohara.

Inside the children's room: "I wonder what dad has been doing out there for so long?" The current Robin looked more like the Robin shown in the flashback despite her young age, due to her powerful immortal bloodline. She seemed more mature, smarter, and stronger than the kids her age. But in terms of emotions, she was still a little child, which is why she couldn't bear to live away from her father for a week. It had been a long, hard week without sleeping in her father's warm arms.

"Maybe he's busy with important work. He'll come back when he's done," said Hancock. Hancock was Rob's eldest daughter, so she was quieter, but even so, she missed her father from time to time. After all, before Rob, she and her sisters didn't have a family. Being children with special backgrounds, Rob forbade them to read manga or leave the home on the day designated for the manga, so they had no choice but to obediently stay together in their room.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. At first, they thought it was one of the maids, but when they heard Rob's voice, their gloomy mood turned upside down.

"Can I come in?" Rob asked.

"Yay! It's Daddy!" Robin quickly ran to welcome her long-awaited father.

West Blue, Ilisia Kingdom:

After operating an art store in this kingdom for years, it had become a prosperous kingdom, similar to other kingdoms that have an art store. The number of tourists the art store brought to the country was not small, and the number of investors exceeded the numbers before the era of the art store by several times. This had a positive impact on the economy of the kingdom, making the supreme authority in the country, King Thalassa Lucas unable to think of dispensing with the services of the art store.

This was in economic terms, as the kingdom's economy was directly linked to the art store. But the most important thing was that the people of the kingdom could not do without the entertainment services that the art store provided. Whether they were old or young, poor or rich, nobles or commoners, everyone agreed that they could not live without the services of the art store.

The art store was able to save their lives at critical moments! Could this be dispensed with? It was not possible.

Inside the art store 'Ilisia', in the large bar, sat a little girl who appeared to be around ten or eleven, accompanied by her parents, who seemed to be nobles. She had long golden hair, beautiful blue eyes, a small nose bridge, and a small oval face. She looked like a little angel and attracted the attention of all children her age, who looked at her as if they were hypnotized.

She was the daughter of the noble Victoria family of this kingdom. "Oh, what a coincidence dear~ This cute zombie has the same name as our daughter," said the mother.

The little girl was also reading the One Piece manga with bewilderment when her eyes fell on the strange figure of the dishes' woman, but at this moment, she heard her mother's comment and felt goosebumps for some reason.

"Don't say that, Elizabeth. It's not good to compare our cute daughter to a zombie. That's a bad omen," said the father, who seemed disturbed by this description.

"Anata~ it was just a joke..." the mother tried to explain.

"Dad, Mom, I have a feeling this character is me," said the little girl.

[[And the team left on Thousand Sunny]]

"Well," Sanji took out another cigarette and quietly lit it before continuing, "we can't help but stay put. Since this ship is stuck in a giant spider's web."

Zoro looked to the side and spoke too: "That skeleton jerk's ghost ship too… Even the mini merry… Usopp, Chopper, and Nami rode in are trapped in the web."

Zoro sighed because no matter how hard he tried to think of it as a coincidence, he found that it wasn't like that at all: "I can't help but figure this was actually all planned. At this point, it's the entrance of the island. It looks like the ghosts are beckoning us."

But as usual, Luffy wasn't interested in thinking rationally: "What are you rambling about, Zoro? You too, come!" "Since we're stuck here anyways, let's go! Because then there'll be more lunch packs, SHISHISHI!!"

After a while, the crew walked through the entrance and started to descend a stair that leads down. "Why are there all of a sudden these stairs leading down?" Luffy wasn't interested. "It said (entrance) so it doesn't matter thinking about it- Geh, what's that in the moat?" Suddenly, he notices the arrival of a weird dog: "WOOF!!" "WOOF!!" "GON!!"

Sanji spoke: "Wow… A Cerberos…? We must be on the direct way to hell then."

Robin added: "Aww, it's cute."

Franky asked: "He wanna brawl?"

Zoro said: "Pretty brazen…"

Luffy prepares to catch him with the fishing net: "Ah. I wonder if it's yummy?"

After hearing all of that, the three-headed zombie dog was shocked and started to sweat in fear: "!!? EHHHH!!!?"

•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•

Marineford, At Fleet Admiral's office:

"Bwahahahaha!!"

"This grandson keeps making me laugh hard!"

"Is he trying to tame that zombie dog? Let's see what you have up your sleeve."

"Bwahahaha!! He was bitten, as expected of such a fool grandson!"

Garp didn't care about Sengoku and the three admirals discussing matters of war and how to take down a legendary hunter. He was reading the manga and laughing so hard, unaware of the great inconvenience he was causing.

"GAAARP!! SHUT UP!" Sengoku shouted angrily.

•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•

"Alright Alright, be a good boy…"

After being bitten by a zombie dog, Luffy seemed very calm: "ALRIGHT… Now, let me go…"

"Good boy…"

The zombie's dog released Luffy's head from its mouth, but the next moment its three heads were crushed against the wall by Luffy's strong punch: "YOU ASSHOLE!!!"

•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•——•

"Bwahahahahahaha!!"

Garp couldn't help but burst out in laughter as he pointed to the manga page where Luffy had managed to tame the zombies dog in the most brutal way possible. His laughter was so contagious that even Sengoku, who was in the middle of discussing serious matters of war, couldn't help but be drawn to the commotion.

"Sengoku!" Garp exclaimed, trying to compose himself. "You have to see this!"

Sengoku approached Garp, intrigued by the sudden outburst of laughter. Garp showed him the manga page and Sengoku couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Luffy's unorthodox method of taming the zombie's dog.

"I never thought taming a zombie's dog could be this entertaining," Sengoku said, still chuckling.

Garp, still wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes, replied, "That's my grandson for you. He always finds a way to surprise me."

The two of them continued to laugh and enjoy the manga, temporarily forgetting about the serious matters at hand.
