Third Person POV
New Word.

...
In Doerena Kingdom, in a coastal city far from the capital, where there were at least 50,000 inhabitants, an event caught attention as a blonde man stood out to everyone, displaying himself in an unusual way for all there. Cavendish easily drew attention from people, especially the women, as he enjoyed showing off.
"Cavendish!!" The women screamed like his very own fan club.
"Hello, my ladies, what luck that I'm here for you on this beautiful day. I hope you're all doing great." He said, winking.
"Ahhhh!!!" The women exclaimed, hearts in their eyes as they gazed at him with excited expressions.
"I'm glad you're here because I can share a bit of my great pirate adventures!!!" He exclaimed, striking a pose.
"Please, tell us about your adventures!" The crowd kept shouting while, a little distance away, a group of people watched with slightly bored expressions.
"That guy's a pirate who showed up a few years ago… looks like he's quite the show-off…" One man murmured to another.
"Who cares… as long as he doesn't cause trouble for our village, I don't mind him. After all, there are pirates we should worry about more right now." His friend said in a calm tone.
"Ah yes… today's paper reported a sighting of Monkey D. Luffy near the Redline… he invaded the Golden City, Gran Tesoro, and caused some trouble there..." He said, showing today's newspaper.
"At the start of the Grand Line… As long as he doesn't show up here… it's fine… I wouldn't want to run into a man like him in this kingdom…" The other murmured.
"Yes… he's probably heading to Dressrosa… there's no reason for him to come here, right?" Another from the group expressed concern.
"Hm?" At that moment, one of them noticed the crowd cheering for the recently arrived pirate, and saw Cavendish staring directly at them, his eyes gleaming crimson.
"Why is he looking at us like that?!" The people asked, slightly startled.
Before anyone could speak again, suddenly, Cavendish vanished from his podium in the square and reappeared in front of the men, leaving them stunned and unable to react.
"What did you say?!" Cavendish exclaimed with a furious look, grabbing the man with the newspaper as everyone there grimaced at him.
"What are you doing?!" Despite the previous boredom, the man couldn't help but feel fear before this pirate with a bounty of 280,000,000 berries.
"Tell me… you were afraid that Monkey D. Luffy might appear here, but you weren't afraid of me?!" Cavendish was upset. He could have been in the middle of his adoring crowd, but his ears quickly picked up someone saying he wasn't as important. As someone as narcissistic as him, he could never accept something like that.
"Well… after all, he's a Yonko…" The man admitted, stating the obvious.
"I don't give a damn if he's a Yonko!! I am Cavendish, do you hear me?! Cavendish!!!" He continued exclaiming, causing the man's grimace to deepen.
"Y-Yes!!" The man shouted as Cavendish already had his sword at his neck, losing all his former aura of glory while the crowd, mainly consisting of women, looked at him in slight confusion.
"Then say it!!! Who's better, me or Monkey D. Luffy?!" He asked in a dangerous tone.
"It's you! Please, leave me alone!!!" The man exclaimed, and Cavendish's aura shifted immediately as he smiled with stars appearing around him.
"That's great to hear, so you're my fan… You may go." Cavendish said in an excited tone as the man collapsed to the ground, staring at him in fear before running away, while no one else wanted to be around that slightly lunatic man anymore.
"Hahaha. Well, my ladies, where were we? Let's get back to me telling a story about my great adventures."
"Excuse me... are you Cavendish?" A soft voice appeared next to Cavendish with light footsteps, catching his attention.
"A fan?!" Cavendish said with a smile, turning his head, but in the next moment, he froze.
After all, there was a reindeer in front of him, one he knew very well. Memories of the days when he was in his glory flashed before him, days that suddenly crumbled with the rise of the Worst Generation. His fans quickly began to forget him, paying attention to everything the new Supernovas did in every piece of news. But the worst of all, by far, were the Straw Hats, who had captured the world's attention, something Cavendish had always dreamed of.
"No… I came looking for you." Chopper said in a happy tone while holding a cotton candy he had bought before arriving at the square.
"Hm?! How cute!!" The crowd quickly turned their attention to Chopper, their expressions shifting from Cavendish to Chopper as he became the center of their admiration.
"..." Cavendish was speechless, watching his crowd switch sides, as all the women ran to Chopper at that moment.
Chopper was also surprised as he was lifted up by the group of women, leaving Cavendish behind, who could only watch with stunned eyes as he was replaced.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chopper exclaimed, trying to protect his cotton candy so it wouldn't get knocked down as the women grabbed him.
"You're so cute, what's your name?" They asked.
"Can I take you home?"
"I'd love to sleep with a teddy bear like you!" The women continued, pinching Chopper's cheeks and fur while he struggled to free himself from the tight grips.
"Who are you calling cute, you idiots?!" Chopper exclaimed, frowning at them all, though he seemed rather pleased with the compliments.
Beside them, suddenly, Cavendish knelt down, being ignored by the entire crowd. "Why am I being ignored? All my fans replaced me with a reindeer who just arrived...? Why can't anyone see the splendor and magnificence that is me?" He muttered in a tearful tone.
Meanwhile, Usopp also appeared at that moment. "Hey, Chopper, what are you doing?" He exclaimed, approaching.
"Hey, that's a Straw Hat! It's the sniper who fought in the war!" There was a murmur as soon as they saw Usopp approaching. "He's incredibly powerful, I heard he destroyed part of Marineford while transforming into a huge dragon!" The women clamored as they saw Usopp approaching.
"Hm?!" Usopp was surprised as the city's women grabbed him.
"Tell me some of your adventures, mighty pirate?!" They quickly asked.
"I..." He was a little lost.
Cavendish looked at Usopp with even more rage, losing more fans while he was being ignored. Chopper seemed thrilled and started narrating some of his tall tales under the admiring gaze of the other women.
"Damn Straw Hat pirates!!!" Usopp was interrupted as he looked surprised, being confronted by the man he and Chopper were looking for. Cavendish had drawn his sword and was now pointing it at Usopp.
Usopp looked stunned as he was still being held by both arms by the women of the city, recounting some of his adventures.
"I challenge you, pirate!" Cavendish exclaimed. "My honor is at stake! Face me!" He shouted, raising his sword toward the Straw Hats' sniper.
"Well... alright then, I accept your challenge..." Usopp said, still a bit wary, preparing to fight him if he was being challenged like that, while moving away from the women.
"Very well, then prepare yourself! You will feel the power of this star!" Cavendish shouted. In the next moment, he jumped to attack Usopp, but Usopp simply disappeared, reappearing behind him. Before Cavendish could react, his body began to lose balance, and he fell to the ground.
The entire area went silent. After all, everyone expected a grand fight, not something so one-sided. To everyone, it seemed Usopp had defeated him with ease.
"So this is the power of the Straw Hats..." the people murmured. But Usopp raised an eyebrow at the fallen man. He hadn't used much power, yet Cavendish was lying on the ground, snoring. This narcissistic pirate had fallen asleep in the middle of the fight and had dodged Usopp's attack effortlessly.
"Wait a minute, did he fall asleep?" The people asked, now noticing the huge bubble growing from his nose.
Even Chopper approached. "I'm a doctor, I should check if he's okay... let's see if something's wrong..." He started to move closer while still munching on his cotton candy, no longer bothered by the women. But in the next moment, Cavendish's expression began to change. His face twisted into something rather sinister.
"Hey, Chopper, be careful!" Usopp quickly sensed the change and yelled at his crewmate.
Chopper looked surprised as he saw Cavendish suddenly get up with that twisted face and attack with his sword. With quick reflexes, Chopper jumped back, dodging the strike. His cotton candy was sliced in half, leaving Chopper in shock.
"My cotton candy..." he murmured as the man—or whatever he was now—disappeared again, abandoning his attack on Chopper and searching for another victim. Chopper began to cry after that.
Cavendish, now in an unknown transformation, started sprinting around, cutting down anything in his path.
"Hey, what's going on?" Usopp exclaimed as Cavendish moved at high speed across the square. Usopp saw him running out of the square and quickly sprouted wings on his back, trying to stop the lunatic in a state he no longer recognized, cutting down anyone he saw.
Meanwhile, Reiju and Uta, who were buying some fish and other seafood—one of them cooking while the other had a craving for something special—heard the commotion and the screams coming from the middle of the city.
"What's happening now?" Uta murmured, while Reiju, smoking a cigarette, looked at the situation.
Suddenly, something charged through the streets, with people running in the opposite direction. That thing appeared at the beginning of their street, cutting through houses and people rapidly. Until the creature, with a macabre smile, saw Reiju and Uta and charged at them at full speed.
Reiju saw it and didn't like at all the sight of that thing lunging at her, but Cavendish, in his transformed state, barely had time to react when her kick hit him with such speed that he was sent flying, crashing through an entire building from the impact of her strike.
"Who is this maniac?" Reiju murmured, taking the cigarette out of her mouth to blow the smoke before taking another drag, while Uta approached her side.
"That guy... he's cutting down everyone," Uta said, looking at the streets.
At that moment, Usopp appeared, flying with his wings. "Did you get him...!?" he asked as he approached Reiju.
"I buried him in that building," Reiju commented. Suddenly, an explosion occurred there, and Cavendish came sprinting out, rushing to attack more people on the other side.
"That bastard! We have to stop him!" Usopp muttered. He flapped his wings, flying toward Cavendish again. He had to be careful not to destroy more of the city with one of his attacks and knew he had to act differently.
Back in the square, Cavendish continued his rampage, cutting down more people. Chopper was there, crying with his cotton candy on the ground. After losing sight of it, Chopper focused on the lunatic running around, slashing at everything that moved in front of him, regardless of the people's screams.
Chopper, enraged, replaced his tears with a furious glare. Cavendish saw him and charged at him as well. As he advanced toward the Straw Hat member, Chopper's body began to grow. Even without his rumble ball, he had learned to reach all the stages of his transformation.
A moment later, he was so large that he stood out across the city, towering over every building. It happened so fast that Cavendish couldn't react; he only saw the shadow blocking out the entire sky in front of him.
Before he could understand what was happening, a massive hand slammed him into the ground, shaking the entire square and destroying part of it.
Usopp arrived at that moment. "Well, looks like you got him." He looked at Chopper's giant hand, leaving a crater in the square.
The enormous Chopper nodded as he began to shrink, returning to his normal size. Still with a few tears in his eyes, he murmured, "Yes," thinking about his lost cotton candy.
"Now we need to clean up this mess. Don't worry, we'll get you another cotton candy," Usopp said, trying to comfort him.
In the end, there were many injured and defeated people scattered across the city. At that moment, the two women arrived, with Uta approaching, holding a cotton candy. "Here," she said, as she had bought one for herself, but seeing Chopper in that state, she decided to give it to him.
Chopper nodded excitedly. "Thank you." His gaze finally shifted to his surroundings, seeing the fallen bodies. "Someone call a doctor!" he exclaimed desperately.
"I'll take care of that," Reiju said, quickly starting to release her regenerative flames through the streets where Cavendish had wreaked havoc.
"Well, there's nothing left for us to do here. Let's just capture him and lock him up," Usopp murmured.
Although Cavendish had a crew, there was no sign of them anywhere, so they wouldn't waste time. They quickly returned to the ship, where their new companions were waiting to head to Dressrosa.
