Announcement: I'm thrilled to share that I've started a new fanfiction! The latest chapter was released three days ago, and I'm actively working on the next installment. This fanfic follows a character reincarnated as Danzo, blending his personality with Danzo's to create a somewhat evil yet not as malevolent main character. Expect some questionable actions, though not as extreme as those of the original Danzo.

"What?!"
Zoro's exclamation wasn't due to racism but sheer disbelief at Baal's tendency to make jokes in the face of four opponents and a massive dog.
"This isn't the time for jokes!"
"Tsk, I really thought that would work."
Zoro stood up, unsheathing all his swords.
"You better not put me in your mouth, you bastard," threatened Baal.
"Fine."
As Zoro prepared, he lunged towards Ohm, one of the priests. Ohm quickly reacted, blocking with his giant sword resting on his right shoulder. Zoro's three swords clashed against Ohm's blade, creating sparks. Zoro then unleashed his signature three-sword style technique, "Santoryu," with unparalleled speed. Each swing created a slicing sound as his blades danced with lethal grace. Ohm, still grinning, dodged Santoryu with ease using his observation Haki.
"W-What?" questioned Zoro.
'Shit! I forgot about their observation Haki, what they call "mantra"!' thought Baal.
"Zoro! We need to leave!"
"Leave? Don't underestimate me, Baal. Just because he dodged-"
Baal interrupted Zoro and said, "I'm not underestimating you, Zoro. These guys know observation Haki, allowing them to predict your moves! Four of them can use Haki; right now, we can't fight them."
Zoro, shocked by the revelation of Haki, quickly agreed and jumped towards Shura, who was blocking their way. Shura dodged, thinking Zoro still wanted to fight.
"He's getting away, idiot!" mentioned Gedatsu.
As the four priests tried to chase Zoro, they felt their feet held by black tentacles emerging from a swirling black hole, preventing them from moving. When they freed themselves, Zoro was already out of sight.
"That bastard got away!" yelled Shura.
"Hmp, it doesn't matter. God will be his judgment," snorted Ohm.
--------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile with Zoro
Sighing and shaking my head, I said to Zoro, "Only attack two out of three minorities. Tsk tsk tsk, and here I thought you weren't racist."
"I am not! Anyway, why don't you just teach me that technique you were talking about? It's not like we won't try to find the fruit once you teach it to me."
"I don't trust a racist."
"You-"
Zoro was quickly interrupted by a loud wind coming from the sky. Squinting, Zoro saw a horse with wings carrying a guy wearing knight armor. Suddenly, Zoro looked down at his feet, where sparks of lightning danced beneath him.
"Shit! Zoro, dodge-"
Baal was interrupted by a loud sound from a dark cloud, releasing a lightning bolt that formed a sphere when it hit the ground.

With Luffy's group
While Sanji was beating the White Berets, Luffy was looking at a random tree to his left.
"What's wrong, Luffy?" questioned Nami.
"Nothing, just felt like someone was watching us."
"W-W-What? Is it the same as earlier? The one Conis mentioned? About their God always watching?!"
"No, this one feels much closer and stronger."
All of a sudden, claps could be heard from the direction Luffy was looking at. After a while, a woman came out of the woods wearing a white mask. The mask was a white masquerade mask with white flowers on the left side. The woman had dark blue long hair, tied up, and wore an all-white cloak, revealing only a sword on her hips.
"He chose a great captain," said the woman, smiling.
Seeing her, Luffy only stood there, feeling a sense of familiarity. Sanji, however, was smitten.
"What a beautiful lady!"
The woman gave Sanji a smile, making him melt.
"Please come with me, Luffy-sama," ordered the woman.
"Who are you? And what do you want with Luffy?" questioned Nami.
"I mean no harm. I just need Luffy-sama to come with me; he is needed for our plans."
"No thank you," Luffy quickly answered, picking his nose.
"B-But Luffy-sama, we need you!"
"I don't want to. I don't wanna join you for your plans because I have my own. I will become the king of the pirates!"
"It doesn't matter, Zophiel; we need to get going. He is about to make a move," said a man coming from the same direction the woman came.
The man was a tall, white-skinned figure, his pale skin giving an impression of death. A red crown-like mask covered most of his face, and half of his body, including both arms, was wrapped in linen. Two swords hung on both sides of his hips, and he wore a long skirt-like dress covered in demon masks around the hips.
"But Domiel-"
"No buts, let's go."
As the two left, the three Straw Hats could only watch.
------------------------------------------------------------
Robins group
A similar experience was happening with Robin's group. Two men stood in front of Robin, while Chopper and Usopp hid behind her.
"Can you please hand over the fruit?" asked one of the men.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that," said Robin with a calm smile.
"H-Hey, Robin, why don't we just give it to them? They feel kinda strong," whispered Usopp.
"Well, I guess I'll have to do it by force. Please forgive me," said the same man.

This chapter will be short because I'm not really feeling that well, and I'll also have to finish the 2nd chapter on my new ff later this day. Hope you guys give it a try and comment on the ff if it was a good start or not.
