It's 3:50 PM after classes, and Haru is in the park where Issei died, right in the middle of the trees, buying a ticket for a dungeon or another world, as he called it.
Haru spent 10,000 TK.
~ Time to go somewhere that isn't Goblin Slayer. Haru said.
Then, using the ticket, a magic circle appeared beneath Haru.
[Scene change]
When Haru opened his eyes, he saw only one thing—he was falling.
Quickly, Haru looked down and saw nothing but water, except for a small boat in the middle of it all.
Haru did the most logical thing in that situation.
~ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
He started laughing as he fell until he hit the middle of the ocean.
When Haru emerged from the water, he came face-to-face with a small boat carrying two apparent idiots. One had pink hair, and the other wore a straw hat with a scar under his eye.
~ Can you give me a ride to the next island? Haru asked politely, with a fake gentle smile on his face.
~ Incredible! The straw hat idiot shouted with stars in his eyes.
While the pink-haired one helped Haru out of the water.
[Scene change]
~ So, you want to be a marine while this idiot here wants to be a pirate? Haru asked.
~ I won't be just any pirate. I'll be the King of the Pirates! The straw hat idiot said.
~ Okay, okay, okay, we've heard you say that a million times. I'm tired.
~ So, what's your dream, Haru? Luffy asked curiously while eating fruit.
~ Me? Well, I don't really know, but if I had a dream, it'd be to sleep peacefully all day and have sex all night. Haru replied. While his thoughts were, *And maybe figure out what love is.*
When Haru finished speaking, Coby turned bright red.
~ What's sex? Does it taste good? Luffy asked.
Coby was shocked that Luffy didn't understand.
Haru expected this situation, so he said,
~ It's the most delicious thing in the world, Luffy. There's nothing that tastes better. Haru replied with the most shameless expression.
~ Seriously? I want to eat sex! Luffy shouted with stars in his eyes.
~ Listen up, Luffy, you can only "eat" sex with a woman, or more than one. Haru said.
~ Got it, shi shi shi!
Coby was on the verge of fainting.
Haru just laughed, finding Luffy's stupidity hilarious.
[Scene change]
~ We finally reached the Marine base! Luffy shouted with his arms in the air.
~ Finally. Coby said.
~ Great job, Coby! Luffy said.
~ Huh?
~ We reached our destination. Luffy said with his usual grin.
~ Of course, that's basic navigation. If you're alwaysенту
System: ~ always drifting at sea, you'll never become a pirate. You should find a navigator to join your crew, Coby said.
~ Alright!!! Let's eat!!! Luffy said, ignoring Coby.
[Scene change]
After they finished eating, with Haru and Luffy consuming an abnormal amount of food, Luffy asked about Zoro. The people in the restaurant jumped and backed against the walls. Coby whispered that it seemed like they weren't allowed to say Zoro's name. But when Coby mentioned Captain Morgan, the people jumped from the table and ran out of the restaurant.
[Scene change]
On the street, Luffy was laughing at the people from the restaurant.
~ Shi shi shi shi shi. What a funny restaurant, I have to go back there...! Luffy said.
~ That's weird, I have a bad feeling. I get why they'd be scared hearing Roronoa Zoro's name since he could escape any moment, but why fear a Marine captain's name? Coby said.
~ Well, maybe he did something bad to them, don't you think? Luffy said to Coby.
~ IMPOSSIBLE! Coby shouted.
~ He's serious, Coby. Not all Marines are good, Haru said, dying of sleepiness. *Just like me,* he thought.
[Scene change]
[Marine base]
~ It looks less ugly from far away, Luffy said.
~ True, Haru replied to no one in particular.
After talking with Coby, Luffy climbed the wall to look for Zoro.
After some time, Luffy found someone tied up. Coby fell off the wall, stammering that it was Zoro. Haru was just sitting on the wall, watching, about to fall asleep. While Luffy and Coby talked, Zoro noticed them and told them to get lost.
Haru completely ignored the conversation and fell asleep on the wall.
[Scene change]
Haru woke up to the sound of many men shouting. He was in a bad mood—being woken up while sleeping is annoying.
~ YOU SONS OF BITCHES, KEEP IT DOWN! Haru shouted at the Marines while climbing down from the wall.
Haru used lightning magic, electrocuting all the Marines, leaving them unconscious on the ground. Luffy shouted "Incredible!" with stars in his eyes, Coby's eyes were wide with shock, and Zoro was impressed.
When Luffy untied Zoro, they started talking. More Marine cannon fodder arrived to fight, but Haru stayed out of it, letting Luffy and Zoro handle everything. Then Morgan's son pointed a gun at Coby's head, telling Luffy to stop.
Haru used reinforcement and quickly kicked the brat in the face, sending him crashing into a wall.
Luffy and Zoro took care of Morgan.
They prepared to fight, but the unexpected happened—the cannon fodder threw their weapons in the air and started celebrating.
[Scene change]
After a while, the four—Luffy, Zoro, Haru, and Coby—were at the restaurant eating.
~ I'm full! I think I've reached my limit. I haven't eaten in three weeks, Zoro said.
~ You can't eat anymore? Luffy said.
~ Why are you two eating more than me? Zoro asked.
~ Because it's delicious, right, Coby, Haru? Luffy asked.
~ Yeah, it's really good, Haru said.
~ I'm sorry! I ate too much too! Coby apologized to the restaurant owner.
~ It's all good, you saved the town, the owner said.
~ You guys are amazing, the owner's daughter said.
~ Of course! And I can be even more amazing because I'll be the King of the Pirates, and now I have two crewmates! Luffy said.
Haru didn't get it and stayed out of it.
~ So, who else is with you besides me? Zoro asked.
Haru didn't understand why Luffy said two and Zoro said "you guys."
~ Didn't I say I was looking for crewmates? If you want to be the King of the Pirates, you need a solid crew, Zoro said.
~ Just you two, right? Luffy said.
Then Zoro pointed at Luffy, Haru, and himself.
~ Yup, just the three of us, Luffy said.
~ And you think the three of us make a pirate crew? Zoro said, shocked.
~ What's wrong with that? We're strong, Luffy said.
~ And the ship? Where is it? Zoro asked.
~ Right there, Luffy pointed to a tiny boat in the harbor.
~ That thing? Zoro said.
~ We'll get a ship, Luffy said.
Zoro started laughing. ~ How is that possible? Zoro asked.
~ I also want a pirate flag! Luffy said.
Haru started ignoring them while thinking, *When did I join the crew?*
Haru left before the Marines arrived and went to sleep in the little boat.
[Scene change]
[Secret mission completed]
[Join the Straw Hat crew]
[Rewards: 100,000 berries]
~ Doesn't matter, I'll keep moving forward for now. Then Haru fell asleep.
A moment later, Luffy arrived with Zoro, talking.
After Coby showed up, Luffy said goodbye.
Far away, Zoro asked, ~ How can that guy sleep so much?
~ No idea, Luffy said.
~ How did you two meet? Zoro asked.
~ He fell from the sky into the middle of the sea, Luffy told Zoro.
Zoro believed it, after all, he saw the captain's body stretching.
