Luffy: "I feel like Dan is a good person. We can trust him."
Naruto: "I think so too."
Diana: "Are you both children? Oh right, Naruto is a child, and Luffy is a pirate—how can we trust a pirate?"
Luffy: "Hey, I never lie!"
Akainu: "Hmph, a pirate's words are worthless."
Son Goku: "Is it really that strange for aliens to protect the Earth? I'm an alien, and so is Piccolo."
Piccolo: "I'm not protecting Earth! One day, I'll take over this planet!"
Son Goku: "Oh, there you go again."
Natasha: "I can only say that not every alien is worth trusting."
...
Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Fury's expression was grim. If one of his subordinates turned out to be an alien, he'd definitely be on high alert, let alone give them a position of power.
This is Earth's protection we're talking about. How could an alien be allowed to lead?
It seemed that the upper management in that other universe hadn't figured it out yet. If he were in charge over there, he would have placed agents to monitor Dan and Gen.
"Unbelievable… wait, we've had aliens on our Earth too—Thor has shown up, and then there were the Skrulls. So how many other aliens are hiding on our planet?"
Fury's eyes narrowed as he thought about all the issues this raised. It seemed like he had a lot of work ahead of him.

In the DC Universe
Bruce Wayne sighed as he watched Naruto and Luffy's comments. How could they say something so dumb?
You either need enough strength to protect yourself after such statements, or you're just a fool—or maybe both.
...
In the Leo Universe
Dan didn't care what people from other universes thought. After all, they weren't from his universe, so what did their opinions matter?
He glanced back at the blocked stairwell. As long as no one approached, it was no problem—a fairly easy containment.
However, the screen displaying the IKEA superstore caught his attention. Another infinite space. Who knows where it would appear next? "Now predicting the universe in which the IKEA superstore will appear," an electronic voice announced, and everyone anxiously watched the screen, waiting for the result.
"The superstore will appear in the DC Universe's Gotham City, the world of Doraemon, and the Naruto universe."
The prediction revealed that the IKEA superstore would appear in three different universes.
Tony Stark: "What! This time, it's three universes?"
Bruce Wayne: "So it's true, just like in the video journals. This IKEA store can appear in different universes!"
Jiraiya: "Haha, well, isn't that interesting?"
Tsunade: "What are you talking about, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya: "Dan's reward was just for blocking the stairwell's entrance. That means if we seal off the IKEA superstore and keep people away, we can get a reward too—without much effort. Isn't that super easy?"
Naruto: "Yeah! Pervy Sage, you're really smart this time!"
Jiraiya: "What do you mean, 'this time'? I'm always smart!"
Doraemon: "That makes sense."
Sengoku: "Damn, how come you guys are always so lucky?"
Back in the One Piece world, the Navy Headquarters couldn't help but feel envious.
Why do other universes get such easy containment tasks that lead to rewards? This is a golden opportunity to gain power effortlessly!
Why doesn't the Navy Headquarters ever get this kind of luck?
Fury shared the same thoughts.
He was desperate for his side to gain more strength, so watching others get free rewards was more painful than losing a reward himself.
Wait, he realized, he hadn't gotten any rewards to begin with. That made it even worse.
Jiraiya: "Hehe, sorry, it looks like we'll beat you to it this time."
"Now announcing the locations: in the DC Universe, it will appear in Gotham City; in the Doraemon world, it will appear in Monta City; and in the Naruto world, it will appear in Sunagakure."
When the screen displayed the locations, both Bruce Wayne and Doraemon breathed a sigh of relief, as the superstore would appear close to them. But Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Naruto's expressions turned anxious. The store wasn't appearing anywhere near Konoha!
Naruto: "What the heck! Why is the store appearing so close to you guys but so far from us?!"
Tsunade: "Yeah! How come your luck is so good?!"
Doraemon: "We can't control things like that."
Bruce Wayne: "That's not the point. But what about the Sand Village? Do they even know about this store? Won't there be problems?"
Tsunade: "If it's just those so-called employees, they can't threaten Sunagakure. But there might be a wave of disappearances. I'll have to go to the Sand Village and warn them about this!"
Orochimaru: "Heh, you say that, but it's really just for the reward, isn't it?"
Tsunade: "Mind your own business."
Shizune: "But Lady Tsunade, what about Konoha? You're the Hokage; you can't just leave the village."
Jiraiya: "I can take care of things here. After all, I'm already out in the field."
Naruto: "Me too! There's no way I'm letting Pervy Sage hog all the glory!"
Just then, the screen shifted to show the locations of the IKEA stores in the three universes.
"Hm, is that the place?" Bruce Wayne muttered, ready to act, but then he saw something that shocked him.
On the screen, Alfred appeared in front of the store.
"Hm? When did this store open? I don't remember hearing about it," Alfred said, confused as he looked at the superstore. He couldn't recall anything about it.
"Oh well, since it's new, I might as well check it out. It's been a while since I visited a store."
With a sudden burst of curiosity, Alfred entered the store.
"No!" Bruce's eyes widened, and he shouted in shock. He had given Alfred the day off, but he hadn't expected him to end up in front of the IKEA store and walk right in!
It wasn't just Alfred. Other Gotham City residents, curious about the new store, also began making their way toward it.
"Damn it!"
Bruce sprang into action, quickly pulling out two phones and dialing.
"Hello, Commissioner Gordon? I need you to block off a street for me. The address is…"
Bruce looked at the street displayed on the screen and urgently asked Gordon to seal it off, which immediately raised the commissioner's suspicions. He couldn't understand what the playboy billionaire was up to.
"Please, it's an emergency. Let's just say my mother's jewelry was lost there, and I'm afraid it'll get trampled. I need your help to seal off the area!"
