New World, Whole Cake Island:
Inside the Whole Cake Chateau, an elderly short man stood next to Linlin, wearing a chef's outfit and carrying a short sword in his hand.
In front of them was a huge chocolate cake that Linlin was eyeing from time to time while drooling.
"You still have to wait a little, Linlin. The cake is not yet complete..."
"Haa... sigh~ I didn't expect to see the great Golden Lion Shiki in such a tight spot in the manga."
The man who was making the cake, and who was responsible for the emergence of Big Mom's Pirate crew, was Streusen. He is currently 69 years old.
A nostalgic look appeared on Streusen's face as he read the manga. After all, he was a former member of the Rocks crew alongside Shiki.
"This Golden Lion is just useless trash, don't be sad about him. The most important thing is to hurry up and finish this cake, Streusen! It looks delicious, Mama Mama!" Since she was a child, Linlin had an abnormal appetite for sweets, which never diminished even after she matured and acquired a slim body.
For her, the Golden Lion Shiki is nothing compared to the chocolate cake that Streusen is making in front of her.
"Don't you feel like the author has something against our former crew members? At first, Captain John was shown as a moving corpse in the hands of a weak pirate like Moria, and now he's making the great pirate Shiki look like a chicken against the Straw Hat Luffy..."
"That's not reassuring for us... I hope our relationship with him as allies will be strengthened, Linlin... Haven't you already succeeded in arousing his instinct for you?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing that, Linlin became annoyed... After all, she had done everything in her power, but she couldn't make the man give her a second glance.
The wall he put between them only grew thicker year after year... Although she had already stopped sleeping with other men and having children since she told him about it.
"Don't be discouraged. Keep pushing him toward the edge. The upcoming tea party is an opportunity not to be missed, Linlin... If you can win his full favor, we won't have to worry about the waves of the manga era."
"As he is the only person who can help you solve the bloody conflict with the giants," Streusen added.
...
"One Piece" Events:
"What is this place?" asked Usopp as he and Chopper carried Nami on his back into a vast greenhouse.
"They're all IQ plants. They're using moonlight to grow them," Chopper explained.
"I smell chemicals!"
Chopper ran up the stairs to the upper floor and Usopp followed closely.
"So this is where they're doing research on IQ," Chopper said.
The duo entered the research room and began searching for anything that could help.
"Which one do we give her?" Usopp asked.
"An enemy!" suddenly he exclaimed.
They were both surprised when they saw Dr. Indigo.
"Piropiropiropiro!" laughed Dr. Indigo.
"You smell like chemicals! You must be a scientist!" Chopper said.
"Yes, a very good one," replied Dr. Indigo.
"Give us the cure for Daft!" Chopper demanded.
"Piropiropiropiro! Why should I? You idiot!" Dr. Indigo retorted.
"This is what you want, right? I always carry it around for emergencies."
Dr. Indigo pulled out a small pink bottle containing the medicine.
"Well, that's easy then."
"We just have to take that drug away from him."
"Stay out of the way. I'm gonna slash him to shreds."
At that moment, Zoro arrived.
Ohara:
"Can this even be called a research room? The equipment here is extremely poor... No wonder it took them 20 years to develop something," Dr. Vegapunk's long tongue kept expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Is this research room really bad!?" Professor Clover asked a serious question.
Brook and Saul focused on the duo's conversation to gain some insight.
"Of course, the World Government won't allow the most advanced research items to be released to the market. Even in the black market, only a few can be found, and that's what the Golden Lion Shiki succeeded in providing to his scientist... Well... did he say he's a good scientist?"
Seeing Dr. Indigo praising himself as a good scientist, Dr. Vegapunk wanted to hit his head against the wall of the art store and commit suicide.
"This foolish clown reminds me of Caesar or rather a cheap imitation of him. Caesar is much more talented than him... Hah? He even has this acidic devil fruit," surprised Vegapunk.
"Ceasar? Who is he?" Brook wondered.
"Have you heard of MADS before, Brook?" Before Vegapunk explained, Saul took the initiative to explain.
"MADS? I hadn't heard of it when I was alive, but after my death, I was trapped in the Devil's Sea for decades, so I didn't hear about it even after my death... What does it mean?" said Brook.
"It's the Laboratory for Peace that was active six years ago before the World Government closed it. The Peace Laboratory was a sacred place for scientists. The scientists who were there produced many inventions that made our lives easier... Vegapunk here was the leader of that laboratory. Ceasar Clown, whom he speaks of, is one of the members of the laboratory and is now the only member of MADS who still works with the government after Vegapunk's resignation."
Saul explained everything in one breath. As a former Vice Admiral, he was not an ignorant person, and these were common knowledge. Especially, 6 years was not long enough for the world to forget the favor that the MADS organization had done for them.
"Sigh~ You make me nostalgic." Vegapunk sighed.
...
"Yohohohoho! Zoro has arrived!"
"This foolish scientist has already revealed the drug. Now Zoro will do the rest. It's good that Nami will recover."
...
"Zoro is here, finally... How did he find this research lab without getting lost?" Otohime wondered.
"Horohorohoro! Even my little Perona is surprised. How cute you are, my little one~" Melona laughed after hearing that, and her smile widened even more when she saw her newborn baby laughing in her arms.
Seeing this scene made Rob lightly tap Perona's forehead and want to hug her.
And that's something Melona didn't stop him from doing. At this stage, Rob was like a father to Perona.
On the other side, Bell-mre was focused on the exciting manga events that had already reached their final stages.
"Finally!"
Bell-mre sighed after seeing Zoro use the Asura demon aura in his battle against Dr. Indigo... This means the battle will end.
As expected, the battle ended and Chopper obtained the medicine that Zoro threw.
"My dear Nami has been saved," Bell-mre wiped tears of joy.
