Chapter 31 - Chapter 19: WEAPON?

The massive hall was a sea of movement as the academies began to take their designated seats. The Marine Academy students led the way, their movements synchronized and disciplined, as if they were marching onto a battlefield. Behind them, the Adventurers arrived in a chaotic, joyful swarm, laughing and pointedly ignoring the "no running" signs. The Samurai students from Samurai academy followed with a quiet, razor-sharp focus that made the air feel heavier, while the UA Students chatted brightly, their colorful hero costumes clashing with the more traditional garbs of the others. Finally, the Kujas trailed in—silent, observant, and deadly.

A man stepped onto the stage, his presence instantly commanding the room. Vice-Admiral Momonga stood with his arms crossed, his purple-and-white pinstripe suit perfectly pressed and his katana resting on his hip.

"Settle down, kids," Momonga's voice boomed, cutting through the noise.

The students froze. They could feel the sheer pressure radiating from him—the aura of a man who had survived a thousand battles.

Zoro's eyes narrowed, his hand instinctively gripping the hilt of Wado Ichimonji. "Oh... I want to challenge that guy," he muttered, his spirit igniting. "Me too," Kuina whispered beside him, her eyes tracing Momonga's stance. "Look at that presence."

Bakugo, never one to let a "moss-head" have the last word, scoffed loudly. "Huh! Like your stupid moss-head could do anything. Maybe you need to stick more swords in your armpits to even stand a chance!"

The hall erupted. Even the stoic Samurai students lost their composure, rolling on the floor in laughter at the absurd mental image. Zoro's face turned a deep, furious crimson. He spun around, glaring at the spiky-haired blonde.

"Hey! You yellow-haired brat! You wanna fight?" Zoro roared. Bakugo's palms crackled with small explosions. "Fight? Hah! That's exactly what I'm talking about!"

The Adventurers, always eager for a spectacle, began chanting: "Go! Go! Go! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"Enough!" Momonga barked. "This is a dinner hall. If you make a mess here, your schools will pay the price in full."

The threat of their teachers' wrath worked faster than any Haki. The room went silent. Luffy, clutching his straw hat, suddenly stood up and shouted to the back: "Hey! Don't fight! I don't want to do any more assignments! Do you hear me?!"

The other students stared at him, bewildered. Aren't you the one who was just cheering the loudest?

As the tension simmered down, the Kuja tribe finally made their full entrance. The hall fell into a different kind of silence. The women of Amazon Lily moved with a predatory grace, their outfits accentuating their curves in a way that felt like a tactical distraction.

Blood sprayed from the noses of several boys. Mineta and Kaminari looked like they were about to short-circuit. In the serving aisle, a chef yelled out in panic: "Chef Zeff! Sanji's down! I repeat, Sanji's down!"

Zeff rubbed his temples in pure frustration. "Replace that kid! Move! Serve the food already!"

Meanwhile, Kyoka Jiro sent her earphone jacks flying, poking Mineta and Kaminari directly in the eyes to bring them back to reality.

"Hey, Momo," Mina Ashido whispered, nudging Momo Yaoyorozu. "Are you secretly a Kuja who decided to go to UA instead?" Momo's face turned bright red as she hid behind her hands. "Mina! That's so rude! It's just... how my Quirk works!"

"I'm just joking!" Mina laughed, but Camie Utsushimi leaned in, nodding seriously. "Well, what's wrong with that? Isn't a curvy body a weapon, too?"

"A weapon for a man's imagination, maybe," Setsuna Tokage teased with a shark-like grin. Nejire Hado, looking completely confused, tilted her head. "Imagination? To what?"

The boys nearby—those whose Quirks didn't involve hardening—suddenly found themselves turning as stiff as stone. Shinso let out a loud, forced cough to break the awkwardness. "Ahem... let's stop this." "Focus," Shoto Todoroki added coldly. "We aren't here to play."

The awkwardness finally began to lift until new footsteps echoed at the entrance. The old wizard led a girl inside who seemed to stop the hearts of every boy in the room. Nami walked in, standing 6 feet tall with sunset hair and a gaze that could command the tides. Her green bikini top that cannot hide her big breast and tight jeans that cannot hide her curvy body, partially covered by her white robe, made her look like a masterpiece of nature.

The silence this time wasn't about power; it was about pure, breathtaking allure.

Camie smirked, nudging Mina. "See? Now that is a dangerous weapon."
