The cries of despair were swallowed by the dry, drifting sands.
Those who chased after hope… and those who sought to connect to it—their wills split apart, tangled in doubt and hesitation.
And so, the curtain of history began to open… toward a sorrowful end.
Under the desperate protection of the Super-Speed Duck, Karoo,Princess Vivi narrowly escaped being trampled by the raging army—a moment that made the world collectively exhale in relief.
But peace never lasts long.A new threat appeared almost immediately—Baroque Works' elite agent, the flamboyant okama Bon Clay, disguised as Usopp,cornered Vivi once again.
Just when all hope seemed lost,the battered and bleeding Karoo, summoning the last of his strength,took Vivi on his back and sprinted for their lives.
Then—before the eyes of countless onlookers across the multiverse—the duck ran straight up a cliff.
"NO WAY!!"
"This duck is a legend!"
"He's literally sprinting up a ninety-degree cliff!!"
"Wait, hold up—does this duck plan to fly?!"
"Ahhh, damn! He didn't take off—but he made it! He actually climbed up!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't relax yet! That ballerina freak's climbing too!"
"What the hell is wrong with this world?! Why is everyone a monster here?!"
The people of every world were left completely speechless.
...
Disney World Donald Duck: "Quack quack quack! (You can do it!)"
Pokémon World – Galar Region Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd watched Karoo on the screen,gripping their leeks tighter, eyes blazing."This duck… is a real man!"
Fairy Tail World Elfman burst into tears."That's not just a duck! To Princess Vivi, to the Straw Hats…Karoo is family! A comrade!"
Natsu nodded seriously."Yeah… just like me and Happy!"
"Aye, sir!" Happy chimed in.
Naruto World Konoha's Blue Beast, Might Guy, was bawling his eyes out."Lee! Did you see that?! Even a duck can live a youthful life full of glory!If a duck can try that hard, how can we possibly fall behind?!"
"Yes, Sensei!" Rock Lee sobbed, tears streaming down his face.
"You two are impossible…" Tenten groaned."Who cries over a duck?!"
Neji folded his arms, solemnly nodding."…Still. That's one duck worth praising."
"Ahhh no! The brave duck Karoo's been hit by a stray bullet!"
In the Assassination World, Ah Qi and his chicken companion Big Bao cried out in panic.
Vivi was seconds away from being caught by Bon Clay—when suddenly—
Mr. Prince appeared again, cool and composed.
Taking over the duty of protecting Vivi from the fallen Karoo,he stood tall, cigarette in mouth, cloak fluttering.
At that moment, the multiverse erupted in cheers—and collectively exhaled in relief.
With Sanji here, no one had to worry anymore about that okama laying a finger on the princess.
...
One Piece World — North Blue, Germa Kingdom
"Shit! That damn Sanji's showing off again!"
"He's just the family failure! Why does he get to look so cool?!"
"Watching him act all smug hurts worse than my own screwups!"
Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji—the three princes of Germa—looked like they'd just swallowed a pile of crap.
Ever since Sanji's debut at the Baratie,they'd known instantly—that was their long-lost brother.
"Sanji… you've really grown up,"whispered Vinsmoke Reiju,her delicate hand covering her mouth as she fought back tears.
[Across the Infinite Worlds]
Under the watchful eyes of countless worlds—
Sanji and Mr. 2 Bon Clay's fierce battle erupted.
Trained under the legendary Red-Leg Zeff, Sanji's kicks were second to none.And Mr. 2 Bon Clay, master of the Okama Kenpo ballet fighting style, was also a devastating kicker in his own right.
It was a dazzling dance of legs—a storm of strikes that shredded the air!
Each clash of their feet sent shockwaves howling through the streets.The ground cracked. Walls shattered.Neither side gave an inch—their duel of kicks raged on and on.
In the end, both men were battered and bruised, yet refused to fall.
Desperate for victory, Bon Clay unveiled his secret weapon:using his Clone-Clone Fruit, he transformed into the faces of Sanji's crewmates—hoping to mess with his heart, to make him hesitate.
But then—
When Bon Clay took on Zoro's face, Sanji didn't even blink.He kicked harder.
"Ehh?! Why?! That's your crew's face, you heartless fool!" Bon Clay shouted, dumbfounded.
Sanji snorted. "Are you stupid? No matter who you turn into, you're still you. I'm not the type to get fooled by cheap tricks. What matters isn't the face—it's the heart."
That line—manly, righteous, cool as hell—instantly won the hearts of audiences across every world.
But just as everyone was swooning over Sanji's words of wisdom…
…the coolness lasted all of three seconds.
Because when Bon Clay turned into Nami—Sanji's eyes instantly turned into pink hearts.
"Na—Nami-swaaaaan!!!"
And just like that, Bon Clay seized the upper hand, beating Sanji into the pavement.
The multiverse collectively froze.
"Wait, wasn't he just saying it's all about the heart?"
"Didn't he say he wouldn't be fooled by appearances?"
"So it was all talk after all!"
Led by the ultimate heckler, Shinpachi from Gintama, the peanut gallery erupted in righteous roasting.
Meanwhile, back in the East Blue—at the Baratie—the chefs all covered their faces in shame.
"Hey, those guys said he used to work here, right?" a customer asked.
"...Nope. Never seen him in my life!" they all denied in unison.
On Sabaody Archipelago, inside Shakky's bar—
"Ugh, this is disgusting!" Nami yelled, watching Bon Clay strut around in her body."Sanji! What the hell are you doing?! Just finish him already!"
"Yes, my dear Nami-swan! Don't you worry, I'll find his weakness right away!" Sanji promised eagerly.
A moment later, the battle footage resumed.
Sanji had finally figured it out—Bon Clay's fatal flaw.Whenever he transformed into someone else, he couldn't use his ballet combat properly.The instant he attacked, he'd have to revert to his real form.
Once Sanji knew that, the rest was easy.
Even after Bon Clay armed himself with gadgets and tricks,he couldn't withstand Sanji's relentless barrage—the Full-Course Kick Menu!
In the end, in the heart of the city—Straw Hat cook Sanji emerged victorious!
Deep below the sea, inside Impel Down—
"That was such a beautiful fight! I'm so touched~!" Bon Clay sobbed dramatically.
"Sanji, you're the very model of a true gentleman!"
Across the worlds, gentlemen like Lecherous Monk Jiraiya, Rudeus, and Rabock applauded in teary admiration.
Then the scene shifted again—
To the southeast gate of Alabasta.
....
Chopper and Usopp vs. Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4.
The enemy duo fought in perfect sync, smashing through everything with brutal teamwork.Chopper and Usopp were completely overwhelmed—and the ordinary, cowardly sniper turned and ran for his life.
The multiverse booed loudly.
"Coward!""So much for the 'brave warrior of the sea'!""Run faster, weakling!"
Mockery and scorn flooded in from every direction.
But then—
Even a coward has his limits.
When Usopp heard them say Luffy was dead—when he heard them mock his captain's dream—something inside him snapped.
He shouted with all his heart:
"A real man never runs from a fight—especially when it's about his friend's dream!"
"Luffy's not dead! And he will become King of the Pirates!"
With that, he and Chopper launched their counterattack—using wits, courage, and desperation to turn the tide.They scraped out a narrow, hard-fought victory.
But the cost was brutal.
"Uwaaaah! Don't die, Usopp! It's just a shattered thighbone! And sure, your nose and upper arm are broken too, and your blood loss is only slightly past the lethal limit—but you'll be fine! Your blood pressure's almost zero, but that's nothing to worry about!"
Chopper's frantic voice echoed through the battlefield.
Across the multiverse:
"...Doctor Chopper, do you even hear yourself right now?!"
Then, surprisingly, the tone shifted.
"Sure, Usopp's a coward and a liar, but isn't that what makes him human?"
"He's flawed, yeah—but when it counts, he stands up. That's what matters."
"He's proof that even an ordinary guy can be a hero."
The crowd's opinion began to turn.
"Ordinary guy?!" Shinpachi yelled again from the Gintama world."He took all that damage and lived! That's not ordinary at all!"
Toriko burst out laughing. "Hahaha! As expected of the Straw Hats—none of them are normal!"
In the New World, sniper Yasopp grinned with pride. "That's my boy! Well done, Usopp!"
"Captain Usopp!""Mr. Usopp!"
Back in Syrup Village, Kaya and the three kids were crying tears of joy.
Meanwhile, in Spider Café—
"This is all your fault, Mr. 4!" Miss Merry Christmas scolded furiously.
"Sorry…"
And thus ended the battle at the southeast gate.
Next—the scene shifted to the royal chapel.
...
Navigator Nami vs. Miss Doublefinger.
A normal human woman versus a top-level Baroque Works agent—no one believed Nami could win. Everyone expected someone else to save her.
But she didn't need saving.
Through pain, fear, and sheer determination—Nami fought, adapted, and triumphed.
Her victory was nothing short of miraculous.
Across the East Blue, from Cocoyasi Village to Arlong's old territory,cheers erupted like fireworks.
"Go Nami!!!"
And then—the final officer showdown.
...
Three-Sword Style Zoro vs. Mr. 1, Daz Bones.
From the very first clash, the world was stunned.
"Whoa! How—how's that even possible?! He didn't touch the stone pillars, but they're sliced clean in half!"Inosuke from Demon Slayer gawked in disbelief.
"So this is a true swordsman's duel in the One Piece world…" murmured Genya, shaking his head. "The gap between him and Mihawk was too huge to grasp—but now…"
Tanjiro watched in awe. "We needed breathing techniques just to cut rocks, but he—he's cutting steel like it's nothing…"
Zenitsu screamed, "What is even happening?! How is that bald monk guy not getting cut?! He's fighting a sword with his bare hands!?"
"Devil Fruit user," Mine muttered in Akame ga Kill, eyes wide. "He can turn his whole body into blades. Basically living steel."
"That's insane. He's the perfect counter to Murasame," added Brand with a grim frown.
"To beat a man like that…" someone whispered. "You'd have to cut through steel itself."
...
Akame finally understood the problem.
"Cut through steel with a sword? That's easier said than done! Can anyone really do that?"
In the Gintama world, Shinpachi's eyes widened in disbelief."Even a weapon infused with Wind Chakra can barely scratch steel! How the hell could a normal sword manage that?"
Over in the Naruto world, Kakashi shook his head slowly."If he can't pull it off… the Pirate Hunter Zoro won't survive this one."
In the Rurouni Kenshin world, Kenshin spoke quietly, almost to himself."Heh… as expected. The level of this world is still too low."
"First the captain Luffy, now the Pirate Hunter Zoro? So both of them are going to die?""Pay up! Pay up! I told you I'd win!"
In the Douluo Dalu world, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun laughed mockingly.
...
Across the dimensional viewing screen…
Under the fierce assault of Mr. 1, the man with the Dice-Dice fruit,Zoro was cornered—completely outmatched, battered, and bleeding.
And yet… when a man is pushed to the edge of death,something new can awaken.
Between life and death,Zoro remembered his master Koushirou's words:
"There are swordsmen in this worldwhose blades can't cut anything—and yet, there is nothing they cannot cut."
Zoro's breath steadied."This feeling… what is it? The world's gone quiet. I can hear it—my heartbeat… and the breathing of everything around me."
Staggering, half-dead, he rose again.He reached for the rubble nearby, pushing aside a slab of stone to retrieve his sword, Wado Ichimonji.
"I can't believe you're still standing," Mr. 1 growled, spinning his bladed arms into a deadly drill. "This time, I won't miss."
Zoro closed his eyes.The sword slid smoothly back into its sheath.
"One Sword Style…"
Shing!
A flash of light.
"Lion's Song!!!"
Clang—!Slash—!
A fountain of blood erupted two meters high.
But this time, it wasn't Zoro's blood.
Mr. 1—the man whose steel body had never been wounded—fell, sliced open cleanly from shoulder to waist.
At the brink of death, Zoro had broken through.He had learned to hear the breath of all things.He had finally reached the level of a true sword master—one who could cut through steel.
"Uuooooohhhh!!!"
The multiverse erupted in cheers.
"He did it! He actually cut through steel!""That strike—what was that speed!?""No… it's not just speed. The important thing is—""The Pirate Hunter just sliced steel!"
...
In the Demon Slayer world—
"Whoa! Nezuko, did you see that?! Zoro's amazing! With that kind of power, he could probably take down any Upper Moon—maybe even Muzan himself!"Tanjiro cheered with pure excitement.
"Mm-hmm!" Nezuko nodded, her eyes shining.
"Wahahaha! I knew it! The more swords, the stronger you are! Three-Sword Style beats Two-Sword Style any day! Starting today, I'm training with three swords too!"Inosuke declared proudly.
"Yeah right," Genya muttered. "He used one sword for that attack, and besides, all the demons are already dead. Who are you even planning to fight?"
In the Qin's Moon world—
"The Pirate Hunter can now cut steel… but that man with the hawk eyes must still be stronger," sighed the Sword Saint Gai Nie."The world truly is vast, Xiao Zhuang."
In the Reborn! world—
"Four victories in a row," said Reborn, sitting upright. "The Straw Hats defeated Baroque Works' top agents without a single casualty. Impressive… very impressive."
In the Jujutsu Kaisen world—
After watching the battles, Gojo Satoru grinned."The more I see of them, the more I think… that Straw Hat kid might not actually be dead. Heroes always show up right when you need them most."
Then, the light screen shifted again.
Crocodile appeared—looming tall and terrible.At his feet lay King Cobra and Princess Vivi, both beaten and bloodied.
The cheering across the worlds fell silent.
Even if every Baroque Works officer had been defeated,as long as Crocodile still stood,none of it mattered.
The Straw Hats were exhausted, broken.Who could possibly stop him now?
And yet… in everyone's mind, the same image appeared—the same man they all hoped would rise again.
As if answering that hope—
"CROCODILE!!!"
A roar split the sky.
Straw Hat Luffy had returned—alive and burning with fury!The hero had made his shining comeback!
UOOOOHHH!!!
"..."
