Far away in the land of Wano, where Samurai fight with honor, where Geisha dance with grace, and where the sun rises the highest, lies a conspiracy so deep that it took twenty years to unfold.
The Emperor of the Sea, Kaido, and Kurozumi Orochi, the usurper who betrayed the previous Daimyo of the land and was responsible for the death of Kozuki Oden, have ruled over Wano for twenty years with an iron fist.
Under their rule, the land has gone barren. Poison flows in its rivers, and smoke combined with toxic substances pollutes the air of what was once a peaceful and enriched land of Wano.
The people of Wano have long suffered from the injustice of Orochi but lay helpless before the overwhelming might of Kaido and his Beast Pirates.
However, just as the prophecy stated, the Year of the Dawn has finally arrived after twenty years. This was the year the son of Kozuki Oden would return.
Having traveled through time alongside his trusted samurais, Kozuki Momonosuke was destined to bring peace back to Wano.
However, they lacked manpower. After twenty years of corruption and undisputed control over the land, both Kaido and Orochi had become so powerful that no ordinary opponent could bring them down.
They needed help, and thus they sailed outside the land of Wano, just as one of their lieges, Oden, once did.
After many perils, destiny finally shone upon them, and they met the man who would help free Wano.
Monkey D. Luffy.
The man who's going to be the King of the Pirates.
However, what they didn't know—and what even fate itself didn't foresee—was that there was one more.
A man who wasn't from this era.
A man beyond time.
For he was not a Pirate, a Marine, or a Samurai.
He was a HERO.
Dynamic Afro…
….
Deep in the bustling markets of Wano lay many hidden faces in plain sight—some working for the corrupt Orochi, some enduring the pain of years of suffering while awaiting the day of retribution.
However, there were also a few who waited for something far simpler. They waited for their captain to return.
God Usopp, for one, the self-proclaimed captain of 8,000 men and the man with the tallest tales, had hidden himself in disguise, gathering intel on the enemy while waiting for Luffy.
He wasn't alone. Robin, the archaeologist, was now a geisha. Franky, the super shipbuilder, was an ordinary wood carpenter—still super though—and Zoro, the ever-lost one…
He was still a swordsman and mostly lost.
They weren't the only ones either. Law, the captain of the Heart Pirates and their temporary ally in this journey to take down a Yonko, was also there with his entire crew.
Even a few members of the Mink Tribe were there, with more on their way to honor the centuries-old friendship with the Kozuki Clan.
If that wasn't enough, then a Yonko himself—the strongest man on the sea, Whitebeard—with his entire pirate group was ready to set sail after the Summit at Marineford to fight another war.
And all of them waited for a single Pirate and a Hero to arrive.
...
On the offshore of Wano, at Kuri Beach, after a long time, two figures finally stirred from their deep sleep.
Their heads pounded with pain while their bodies ached from sea and sand.
"This damn wet sand again." As soon as Maki regained consciousness, she didn't care where she was, that half her breast was exposed, most of her clothes were ruined, and a sea snake was wrapping around her while her senses were filled with the salt of the sea.
No!
She only cared about the damn sand and the beach.
"YUTA...!"
Enough was enough. Just how many times was this boy going to send them blasting onto a beach? Gods know how many of her clothes had been ruined because of him.
The boy she directed her fury at just lay there lifeless, like a dead fish who'd given up on life.
"Hey Maki, do you think happiness exists?"
"Huh?"
"Do you think God would be petty enough to go out of his way to make my life miserable just because I stole from one of his shrines when I was a kid? It was candy money, I promise..."
Maki looked at him with deadpan eyes. The boy had lost it.
'Control…' Maki calmed herself. Just recalling how unwilling Yuta was to leave Toki, she could understand his mindset now.
It wasn't the sand or the beach—it was the departure that made him like this.
"Come on, let's get out of here. I need new clothes and something to eat."
"Just leave me here. What's the point? In a few days, I'll most likely be sent to another beach anyway," he replied in a nonchalant tone. The bastard even had the gall to turn his back on her and go back to silent moping.
Maki had two thoughts about grabbing him by the collar and throwing him back into the sea. However, she remembered he was a Devil Fruit user now. Not to mention, she didn't have enough energy to waste on his silly antics.
This time, the travel was much more shocking than either of them anticipated.
Both time travel and world travel ended up executing at the same time—it was like being thrown into a washing machine with no water.
"Get up already. How long do you plan on moping like a fucking loser? You have clothes and food in that space inventory thingy."
No response.
That's when a cold breeze blew, gently tingling her body—including one exposed boob.
Her hand instinctively went to cover the area, only to find it completely out there for the world to admire.
"Damn it…"
"Come on, Yuta, get up already. Do you really want your girlfriend to stand here wet and half-naked like this?" Maki chided, trying to cover the parts of her body that still mattered.
Yuta's ears twitched.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the completely soaked Maki with tattered clothes—the remaining fabric that survived transcending time and space barely covering her bits. What was left was adaptively covered by sand sticking to her wet body and hands, forming a striking picture.
Maki had one hand cupping a breast, making Yuta's blood rush.
'Damn it, I missed something good.'
"Actually, I wouldn't mind that a bit. As long as it's just the two of us, I'd rather have you remove what little you have left on you…"
"Great, so now you're not even covering that you're a pervert." Maki rolled her eyes.
"All men are perverts, Maki. Some are just better at hiding it than others." Yuta shrugged, finally getting up, magically making a bathrobe appear, and tossing it to his increasingly maddening girlfriend.
