Nervous to be returning home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice behind her cut through the anxious silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai-san...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi turned and saw Shirogai standing beside her, his sudden appearance causing her thoughts to scatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her gaze, her voice soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just... worried. That all of your efforts might've been for nothing. That Crocodile's plan has already succeeded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop overthinking,\" Shirogai said plainly. \"We'll handle it. That's what we're here for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could respond, Shirogai took her hands in his and suddenly clapped them together, hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ack—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi flinched, a sharp sting shooting through her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai-san! That hurt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now you're not overthinking, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released her hands, wearing a smug grin like a rogue who'd just teased a noble girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to the shore, now only a few nautical miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, Princess... your job isn't to dwell on the worst-case scenario. It's to make sure this war doesn't happen at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi opened her mouth, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shirogai had already read her doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't worry. The war hasn't started—yet. In fact, because of you, Crocodile's plans were delayed. He's holding back, gathering strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words soothed her like rainfall in a drought. Vivi smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai-san... thank you. You're not the best at comforting people, but I feel better now. I'll give it everything to stop this war!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she turned around again, he was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi blinked, then laughed to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai-san really isn't good with girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Going Merry docked gently by the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami stepped forward, her tone sharp and commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, listen up! No wandering off or doing anything reckless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smirked, glancing toward their missing Captain, who was already sprinting through the sand toward town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami, you're a little late. The one who fits that description is already chasing the scent of meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far ahead, Luffy left a dust trail in his wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MEAT! I'M COMING FOR YOU!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami clenched the railing, furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luffy, you idiot! Come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai landed lightly on the sand, his figure vanishing almost instantly as he covered hundreds of meters in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, you too?! Get back here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, I'm not causing trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved without looking back—then disappeared from view entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh! You two are hopeless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami groaned, rubbing her temples in frustration. They had agreed to stick together. Now the two least reliable people had broken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around, catching Sanji and Zoro sharing a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their feet shifted slightly, as if ready to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's voice dropped to a deceptively sweet tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two wouldn't happen to want to act alone too, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro and Sanji instantly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No, we don't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Nami nodded. \"Sanji, take Chopper and go buy some local clothes. We'll attract too much attention dressed like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed and split into smaller groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the city of Yuba...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai strolled casually through the streets, hands in his pockets, surveying the city with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A place rich in culture and strange charm. Almost reminds me of an ancient kingdom on Earth...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, a group of dancers moved gracefully down the road. Their bells jingled with every step, worn around their waists, wrists, and ankles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mwah~ Handsome stranger~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them winked and blew a kiss. The others giggled, teasing her playfully as they passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an... interesting country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foreign attire stood out, drawing attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's that guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like a traveler. He doesn't have the face of a pirate…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, a group of children blocked his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, please buy our special dried earthworms!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held up clay pots filled with thin, black, shriveled strips of roasted meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't look appetizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks decent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai grabbed a few and tossed them into his mouth. Then he pulled out several Berries and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! Thank you, Sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They squealed and ran off happily, clutching the coins like treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, nearby merchants swarmed him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, try my dried lizards!

Must've been desert strawberry poison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean the venomous spider that looks like a red berry? That one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! He probably died instantly. Look, he's still holding his spoon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check his back! A skull tattoo... he's definitely a pirate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai calmly walked through the crowd and stepped inside, heading straight for the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a seat beside the so-called \"dead body\"—a man with a hat and a freckled face smashed into his food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host observed: User of the Flame-Flame Fruit.
