Screen 1 — Ben Heads to the Library
The atmosphere in Elbaf shifts again as the crew splits into groups.
Nami points toward a distant structure.
Nami:
"There's something important there… a library."
Nico Robin's eyes soften slightly.
Robin:
"…Books from Ohara were saved."
---
Ben hears that—and immediately decides.
Ben:
"I'm going with you."
Luffy glances at him.
Monkey D. Luffy:
"Not coming with me?"
Ben shakes his head.
Ben:
"You'll be fine."
A short pause.
Ben:
"But this matters more right now."
---
The journey
As they walk, the structure becomes clearer.
A massive, ancient library carved into giant architecture.
Inside are books rescued from Ohara.
Knowledge that was supposed to be erased.
Still alive.
---
Ben slows slightly as they approach.
Ben:
"…So they couldn't destroy everything."
Robin looks at the building quietly.
---
Ben's mindset
Ben understands what this place means:
truth the World Government tried to erase
history hidden from the world
answers that could change everything
---
Ben (thinking):
> "This isn't just a library…
this is a target."
---
Final moment
Ben looks at the entrance, serious now.
Ben:
"…Let's see what they tried to hide."
---
This is a good character choice for Ben:
shows his curiosity and intelligence
connects to the bigger world mystery
and aligns him with Robin's storyline naturally.
Screen 2 — Ben Processes Vegapunk's "Survival"
Inside the massive library of Elbaf, the group gathers around scattered research notes and preserved data.
Nico Robin studies quietly.
Nami looks confused.
Then the explanation comes:
Dr. Vegapunk is not completely gone.
His consciousness is still active—
Maintained through Lilith, using a clone system.
And there are plans to restore his original body.
---
Silence.
---
Ben doesn't react with shock.
He thinks.
Fast.
---
Ben's reasoning
Ben immediately breaks it down:
Vegapunk split his mind before
multiple bodies already existed
advanced tech beyond normal science
So this isn't "revival."
It's continuation.
---
Ben:
"…So he didn't die."
Nami looks at him.
Nami:
"What?"
Ben explains calmly.
Ben:
"If his consciousness is still active, then it's not death."
A short pause.
Ben:
"It's transfer."
---
Robin watches him closely.
She understands that logic.
---
What Ben realizes
Ben connects this to something bigger:
Vegapunk predicted his own fall
prepared backup systems
planned beyond death
---
Ben (thinking):
> "He expected the World Government to come for him…"
---
Ben's reaction
Not emotional.
Respectful.
But cautious.
Ben:
"…Smart."
Then he adds:
Ben:
"But risky."
---
Why risky
Ben sees the danger:
cloning + consciousness = unstable identity
if controlled → can be weaponized
if incomplete → not truly the same person
---
Final thought (Ben)
> "If you can come back…
then someone else can control how you come back."
---
Scene impact
Ben treats it scientifically, not emotionally
respects Vegapunk's intelligence
immediately sees the risk side
---
This keeps Ben consistent:
He doesn't just accept "revival"—
He questions how and what it really means.
Screen 3 — Ben in the Giant Library
Inside the ancient library of Elbaf, the scale hits immediately.
Books the size of doors.
Shelves like walls.
Everything oversized beyond normal giant standards.
---
Nico Robin walks slowly, touching the edges of a book.
There's a quiet nostalgia in her expression.
Robin:
"…It feels like Ohara."
---
Nearby, Tony Tony Chopper is already excited.
Chopper:
"Medical books! So many!"
He runs between stacks, completely absorbed.
---
Ben stands still for a moment.
Looking up.
Analyzing.
---
Ben:
"…These aren't just big because of giants."
Robin glances at him.
---
From above, a large presence watches.
The head librarian—
Billete.
A massive owl, calm and observant.
---
Ben narrows his eyes slightly.
Ben:
"Power effect."
He gestures to the books.
Ben:
"They're being altered. Size manipulation."
---
Ben's reasoning
Ben quickly connects:
normal books wouldn't scale like this
structure is too consistent
everything enlarged equally
Conclusion:
> "Someone here is changing the environment."
---
Robin nods slightly.
Robin:
"…That would explain it."
---
Ben's reaction
Unlike Chopper (excitement) or Robin (nostalgia),
Ben focuses on:
how it works
who controls it
what it means strategically
---
Ben (thinking):
> "This place preserves knowledge…
but it also modifies reality."
---
He picks up a massive book, testing its weight and structure.
Ben:
"…Interesting."
---
Final tone
Robin = emotional connection
Chopper = curiosity and joy
Ben = analysis and awareness
---
This keeps Ben consistent:
Even in a calm setting,
he's always thinking about mechanics, control, and risk.
Screen 4 — Celebration in Elbaf
Night falls over Elbaf, and the mood completely shifts.
Fires are lit.
Giant tables are filled with food.
Laughter echoes across the area.
The Straw Hat Pirates celebrate alongside the giants.
---
Gerd steps forward with a bundle of clothing.
Gerd:
"For our guests."
She hands out traditional Elbaf attire.
---
Luffy instantly puts his on.
Luffy:
"This is awesome!"
Usopp poses dramatically.
Sanji adjusts his outfit like it's a suit.
---
Ben looks at the clothes for a second.
Then shrugs and puts them on.
---
Ben's reaction
For once—
No tension.
No analysis.
Just… enjoying it.
Ben:
"…Not bad."
He looks around at:
giants laughing
crew relaxing
music playing
---
Ben sits down with a plate of food.
Not overthinking.
Just present in the moment.
---
Small moment
Luffy leans over.
Luffy:
"You're finally relaxing."
Ben smirks slightly.
Ben:
"Yeah… I guess I can."
---
Ben's mindset
After everything:
Egghead chaos
Road's world
Loki tension
This moment feels earned.
---
Ben (thinking):
> "Yeah… this is what we were fighting for."
---
Final tone
calm
warm
grounded
---
This scene is important for Ben because:
it shows his human side
he's not always analyzing
he can actually enjoy peace when it comes
Screen 5 — Ben's Mood with the Giants
The celebration continues in Elbaf, but now it feels more personal.
Familiar giant figures arrive.
Elder Jarul stands with quiet authority.
And Stansen steps forward, clearly excited.
Stansen:
"So you're Luffy! I've been waiting to fight alongside you!"
Monkey D. Luffy just laughs.
Luffy:
"Let's do it!"
---
Ben watches this interaction.
Not just the words—
The energy.
The connection.
---
Ben's happiness is very high
Not loud or expressive like Luffy.
But real.
---
Why Ben feels this way
Ben sees:
strong allies joining
giants genuinely respecting the crew
no deception, no hidden threat (for now)
After everything—
That matters.
---
Ben's reaction
Ben leans back slightly, relaxed.
Ben:
"…You've got a lot of people on your side now."
Luffy grins.
---
Ben looks toward the giants again.
No tension in his posture.
Just calm.
---
What kind of happiness this is
Not excitement.
More like:
relief
quiet satisfaction
trust building
---
Final thought (Ben)
> "Yeah… this feels solid."
---
This fits Ben perfectly:
he doesn't celebrate loudly
but he recognizes when things are going right
And right now—
They are.
