West Blue, Gyangu Island:
Gyangu Island is considered a gang island, as its name suggests. Before the era of the Art Store, this island was the most dangerous place in West Blue.
After all, it was home to the most powerful family among the Five Families of the West, known as the Capone Family.
Yes, the so-called Five Families of the West were five famous mafia groups that used to control West Blue.
That's true, in the past, because with the rise of the Hunters' Guild, the so-called Five Great Mafia Families were reduced to mere small street gangs.
Boom!
"Damn it! Can't you even handle a C-Rank hunters!? What the hell is the point of your existence!!!"
"How can we restore the glory of the Capone Family if we can't even stand against low-level forces from the fucking Hunters' Guild!"
In a dilapidated tavern on Gyangu Island, the current Boss of the Capone Family vented his anger on his followers who had just returned carrying the regret of their defeat with them.
The man appeared young, around 18 or 19 years old, but his facial expression didn't match his age as he had a clean-shaven mustache that made him look like he was born with it (N/B: It's great to be born an adult. 😂).
He wore a black hat that matched his black official attire, truly resembling a mafia boss, although he had taken over his position not long ago after his father was arrested by the Hunters' Guild.
"We're sorry, Boss Bege! It wasn't easy, those men are as strong as monsters. Just escaping their pursuit is a miraculous achievement that luck allowed us to accomplish."
Capone Bege's subordinates seemed pleased that they managed to escape from the hunters who were merely patrolling the West Blue and cleansing it of criminals like themselves.
"But Boss, we've already obtained the manga volume you requested."
At the moment Capone Bege saw the manga book presented by his subordinate, anger vanished from his face and was replaced by a satisfied smile.
This was what he had been waiting for all this time, tired of not being able to read it for a whole month.
This manga was his addiction, to the point that he often thought about leaving the mafia life and becoming an ordinary civilian, going to a city with an art store just for this manga.
"That's good! You may leave."
With bright eyes, Capone Bege took the manga book and immediately opened it.
As expected, after a grueling journey in the damned Golden Lion Islands, Luffy and his Nakama finally reached the Red Line again.
While reading the manga, Capone Bege felt happy as he flipped through the pages. He burst into laughter when he saw Duval's face and learned about his tragic story caused by Sanji, and he was greatly shocked to see how Sanji had transformed him into a different person by kicking him in the face.
"This Sanji is definitely not ordinary at all."
Seeing their Boss immersed in the manga, his subordinates took out their own manga books and eagerly immersed themselves in them as well.
It is worth mentioning that the books that Capone Bege and his subordinates read were pirated manga books and not original ones, so they didn't have the features of an art store.
"What the hell!!!"
Suddenly, Capone Bege's exclamation made everyone in the dilapidated tavern snap out of what they were doing.
"This is unbelievable!!!" Capone Bege's eyes widened so much that they almost fell out of their sockets. His breathing intensified as he stared at a familiar figure in the manga.
"Is this me!? Am I one of the Supernovas competing with Luffy!?"
Due to the shock and unexpected reality, Capone Bege nearly fainted.
After all, that's what he saw in the manga...

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
[A restaurant, Grove 24]
"Look at her eat."
Inside the restaurant, the noise of chewing and swallowing filled the air. It was so intense that the customers couldn't focus on their own meals and gazed at her in shock.
"Where does it all go...?"
"..."
Not far from the scene, a man with an unshaven mustache wiped his mouth and glared at the commotion with annoyed eyes.
"You vulgar woman, you're making my meal taste bad."
Without even turning around, he said to his subordinates, who looked like well-organized mafia members, lit up with intensity.
"Shut her up and bring her over here!!!"
-----------------------------------
From West Blue, Captain of the Fire Tank Pirates, Capone 'Gang' Bege - 138,000,000 beri.
------------------------------
"We can't do that, Father!!"
"We're right under the Marine Headquarters' nose."
The subordinate respectfully replied, addressing him as "Father" even though he wasn't his biological father but rather his boss. However, he received a fork in his hand instead as a response from his "father".
"Gyaaaaaah!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Is this... Will I establish a pirate crew in the future and go to the Grand Line!?"
Unaware of it, Capone Bege was not the only person shocked at the current moment, there were others who were in the same situation.
...
South Blue, suburbs of the Sorbet Kingdom:
The Revolutionary Army's ship was returning to the Sorbet Kingdom, carrying their leader, Dragon, who had just completed his training by destroying another deserted island.
Everyone was silent, engrossed in reading the manga, but suddenly a shocked scream broke the general mood, coming from a pink-haired little girl.
"What!!!!"
Even Kuma, her father, looked in astonishment between the manga page and his daughter.
After a while, everyone understood what was happening.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Where's my food!? I'm almost out!!!"
Sitting at a table filled to the brim with food remnants and plates, was a beautiful and somewhat hot girl, with pink hair and a golden earring beneath her right eye. She was devouring the food greedily, oblivious to her current situation.
"It seems like they're going as fast as they can, Captain," a big man beside her said, revealing himself to be one of the members of the girl's crew.
"Well then, they need to go faster!!! MORE PIZZA!!!"
-----------------------------------
From South Blue, Captain of the Bonney Pirates, 'Big Eater' Jewelry Bonney - 140,000,000 beri.
-----------------------------------
...

•———•———•———•———•———•
"Oh, congratulations on your first appearance in the manga, princess! In fact, this appearance was unexpected and somewhat shocking."
The first to speak was Ivankov.
As if she hadn't heard him, Little Bonney's complete focus was on the manga.
"This pizza looks delicious!"
When they thought she would say something significant after a long moment of silence, what she said next left them speechless.
Was all that caught your attention throughout this time just the pizza!?
Seriously! Rob wasn't wrong when he gave you the title "Big Eater" under any circumstances!
These were the thoughts of the Revolutionary Army members and her father at that moment.
