::::::::
Inside the Oro Jackson ship's kitchen, both Shanks and Buggy were thinking about a prank for their captain.
A prank that would truly terrify him!
"Are you sure this will work?" Buggy asked nervously.
"Rouge-san, who's responsible for Captain Roger's food, is not here. Our cook is enjoying his favorite manhwa and doesn't want to be disturbed. Captain Roger is feeling hungry, so this is the perfect time to pull off the prank we've been thinking about," Shanks said, each word spoken in a hushed tone.
"What if he finds out we tricked him with his Observation Haki?"
"Why would he use Observation Haki on his own ship?"
"Don't be foolish!"
"Alright, alright. Let's do it. I suddenly can't wait for this idea."
"Everyone is busy reading Solo Leveling without paying attention to us... You will record the entire prank and post it on the forum, and I'll be the one presenting the dish," Shanks said enthusiastically.
"Okay, let's get started," said Buggy.
Shanks took a kitchen knife and cut off Buggy's head, then placed it on the plate. He opened Buggy's mouth and placed a tomato inside, adding some other vegetables to the plate before sealing it.
"Alright, let's go. I hope Captain will like the special dish we made for him. Hehehe~" Shanks laughed and carried the plate towards the captain's room.
...
Knock! Knock!
"Come in~" Roger's voice came from inside.
Shanks encouraged himself, wearing a smile, and entered. Buggy, who was now without a head, stayed near the window on Shanks' instructions, holding a den den mushi for recording and locking onto the scene inside the room.
"Captain, I've brought your meal!"
"Oh, Shanks? This isn't like you."
With a big smile on his face, Roger closed his manhwa book and set it aside, then took the plate from Shanks.
"Let me see what you've prepared for me, even though I don't smell any delicious aroma~ Haha— Haaaaaaa—"
Roger's soul almost left his body when he saw Buggy's head stuffed with tomatoes on the plate.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahahaha! We got you, Captain!"

Solo Leveling event:
_____________________
"Never set foot in Korea ever again." "It's not for my son, but for you." "Even after your death, you won't be able to close your eyes."
These were Hwang Dongsoo's memories of what happened in his battle with Sung Il-Hwan... These were the last words from the latter to him.
"Can't close my eyes even after I die?"
"You dare to... threaten me?"
"I know where he is headed. To catch him, I will need equipment."
"I'll call the guild. I won't run into problems if I have artifacts with me."
"When I'm fully healed... I will tear you apart."
There was no doubt that Hwang Dongsoo was extremely angry, for he had been utterly crushed. His pride and body were crushed by a fellow Korean.
•———•———•———•———•———•
Returning to the small island where Moria and his crew hide:
Moria finished the short volume with dissatisfaction.
"Damn, it ended quickly again. Why isn't Solo Leveling as long as One Piece?"
"This is unfair!"
"At least release a volume with five chapters once a week, not once a month!"
"Sigh~ Well, anyway, I found out what happened to that scoundrel Hwang Dongsoo. Kishishishishi! He got beaten up!"
Moria was delighted to see Dongsoo in this state, so much so that he felt joy upon seeing this fellow wanting a rematch.
"Does he really think he can win after getting his equipment and preparing well?"
"Why would equipment help if your true strength isn't enough? Just a slight delay in your defeat? Maybe, Kishishishi!"
"Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Jinwoo manipulating the shadow soldiers this time... I wanted to explore more."
That's what made Moria frustrated with the short volume this time.
"Don't be discouraged, Captain. In the next volume, Jinwoo will return to clear the Demon Castle! He's bound to fight the final boss there!" Absalom said enthusiastically.
"Kishishishishi! You're right!"
Suddenly, a black gas began to surround Moria's small island as the center.
"Wake up, my faithful soldiers, Kishishishishi!"
From Moria's shadow, some wicked black hands began to climb out, revealing themselves openly.
Absalom shivered after seeing this scene. He almost thought he was in Jinwoo's personal hideout, not Moria's.
"It's time to retrieve our ship's doctor, Thriller Bark Pirates's doctor."
"Kishsishishishi!"
...
Whole Cake Island:
"Mama! Mama! Hahaha! I didn't think hunters would be so dumb even in other worlds."
"This is an S-ranked hunter, but he's this foolish... How can someone from Vice Yonko level only win against Yonko level?"
In Big Mom's view, Hwang Dongsoo was at least on the Vice Yonko level, despite being classified as an S-rank. He was far from Sung Il-Hwan's level... who, in her eyes, was as strong as herself.
"This manhwa my darling draws is so entertaining~ Well, the time for entertainment is over. It's time for another kind of entertainment. I'm going to meet my sisters; Olvia and the others."
The evil glint in Linlin's eyes turned into an extremely gentle look when she thought about Olvia and the other Rob's women.
In her life, she never thought she would have one husband and so many sisters. She who wanted to create a harem for herself had somehow become a part of a man's harem.
She was completely conquered, but she didn't hate this feeling at all.
"Katakuri, get ready. We're going to visit your new father's house."
Katakuri's eyebrows twitched after hearing that, but he didn't dare to refuse. "Alright, Mama."
...
After two weeks, on the Island of Women, Amazon Lily:
"Daddy, why did you bring me here?"
Hancock looked tenderly at Rob's back, which had become like an impregnable fortress, protecting her from all dangers.
"Daddy came here to tell you a story, my dear," Rob said with a smile, a smile tinged with invisible sadness.
"A story? Is it as exciting as One Piece?"
Little Hancock's eyes widened after hearing that, sparkling with stars.
She didn't think a story her father told her would be something simple.
"I hope you'll remain the Hancock I know, my beloved daughter, after hearing this story..."
