One Piece: My Crew is from Other World

Another day and night passed.

The outcome of the battle between King and Najenda was already clear. Naturally, King lost.

After all, his will to fight had already crumbled, and without that fierce determination, his once-unshakable combat style collapsed. In the end, he was completely overwhelmed by Najenda.

Meanwhile, other skirmishes broke out across the island, but these weren't life-and-death battles anymore. Instead, they had become a strange exchange—a mutual give and take between two pirate crews who, just days ago, were bitter enemies.

Surprisingly, during the course of this past week, an odd friendship had begun to blossom between the Dragon Hunter Pirates' First Division and the remnants of the Beasts Pirates. They sparred, drank, bickered, and fought again—but with restraint and even laughter.

Because, while their captains were still locked in a fierce and seemingly endless duel, the rest of them were… just passing the time.

"This much is enough for now," Najenda said as she sat atop a large boulder, watching the clash between Ryuunosuke and Kaido in the distance. "Training or not, if we keep going like this, it'll lose its purpose. I think you've all gotten something out of it, right?"

King, standing nearby with arms crossed, nodded. "Yeah. It's been enough. Jack already dragged Tatsumi off somewhere to drink."

He let out a tired sigh.

Never in his life did he think he'd find himself in this kind of situation—chatting casually with the very crew they were supposed to fight to the death.

"Well, if you're not against it," Najenda said with a sly grin, "why not come aboard our ship? We're heading over to watch the fight. Might as well throw a banquet while we're at it. Knowing the captain, once he's done, he'll want wine, meat, and a hell of a good time."

Before King could respond, Najenda had already leapt up and landed gracefully on the massive shoulder of Susanoo, her summoned guardian. With a casual wave, she and her unit made their way back toward the Ship of Gods.

Her voice, though fading with distance, echoed in King's ears. And her crew followed without hesitation.

On the other side, the Beasts Pirates gathered near King.

Despite Jack and Queen often mocking him as a blockhead with wings, they both looked to him when decisions needed to be made. Among Kaido's men, King was still the most reliable—Kaido's right-hand, and in moments like these, the vice-emperor of the Beasts Pirates.

"King you're really thinking of going up there?" Jack asked, eyes narrowing slightly. "Feels like trouble to me."

King gave him a deadpan look.

And that was enough.

If Jack's gut says "don't," then going is probably the right move.

Without a word, King turned and took flight.

The others followed.

When they landed on the deck of the Ship of Gods, what greeted them was not preparation for war, but celebration. Tables were already set up. Fires were being lit. Music was playing. And someone had already uncorked the rum.

It seemed Najenda wasn't joking. The party had already started.

Soon, the Beasts Pirates brought their own ship around, sailing alongside the Dragon Hunter Pirates toward the battleground where Ryuunosuke and Kaido were still fighting.

---

When they arrived, the scene that unfolded before them was nothing short of godlike.

BOOM!

A thunderous shockwave exploded ahead, tearing through the air and sending massive waves rippling across the ocean.

"…This is…" King's voice caught in his throat.

Before his eyes, Ryuunosuke's armament haki wasn't just glowing purple-gold anymore. There was a faint radiance of light gold now—a new color, a new transformation.

Kaido, cloaked in conqueror's haki and rippling with the strength of his awakened Devil Fruit, stood like a war god. Even facing Ryuunosuke, who was much smaller in size, Kaido couldn't push him back.

Each blow they exchanged neutralized the other's, but the aftermath of their strikes shook the world around them. The island trembled with every collision. The skies rumbled with every roar.

Compared to this, all their previous fights looked like child's play.

"…Captain's gotten stronger again," Najenda muttered, awe in her voice.

Ryuunosuke, meanwhile, was grinning ear to ear, sweat pouring from his body, fists bleeding but spirit soaring.

"Haha! This is incredible!" he shouted. "Kaido! This is the kind of fight you've been craving, isn't it?! Then let's keep going!"

The thrill of battle awakened something deep within him. The longer he fought, the more strength surged out from his soul. The more he pushed, the more his spirit rose.

This wasn't just about testing his power anymore. This was pure, unadulterated joy.

Kaido barked a laugh in return.

"Hahaha! Ryuunosuke, I acknowledge you! But don't think you're the only one leveling up!" he roared. "I've still got plenty left in the tank—and you're gonna get every drop of it!"

Kaido hadn't felt this alive since the days of the Rocks Pirates. Not even his legendary battle with Kozuki Oden had lit a fire like this inside him.

With each clash, Kaido's Devil Fruit powers evolved further. He'd suppress Ryuunosuke's burst of strength, then break through with his own, only to be pushed again.

It was a never-ending cycle. A spiral of growth. A battle that neither could afford—or wanted—to end.

---

"Hahahaha! See?! I told you the captain wouldn't fall!" Najenda shouted, cheeks flushed from alcohol. "Look at your captain—Kaido can barely keep up!"

King raised an eyebrow, but his reply lacked energy. "Our captain was leading earlier…"

"Delusion." Najenda giggled and took another swig.

Just then, two crew members came rushing over—Mine and Nojiko, the temporary lookouts.

"Boss! King!" Mine called urgently.

"What is it?" Najenda frowned, sobering slightly.

"There's a fleet approaching," Mine reported. "They're flying the World Government's emblem!"

Najenda's eyes narrowed immediately.

"…World Government, huh? These Marines really don't know when to quit."

She stood up, tossing aside her bottle. Her spiritual energy surged as her drunkenness evaporated under the pressure of her aura.

"The captain isn't here right now, so I'm in charge," she declared coldly. "If they want a fight, we'll give them one."

King's body began to emit flames as well, his irritation boiling over.

"Perfect timing," he muttered. "I've been itching for a real fight."

As the flames engulfed his body, his fighting spirit reached its peak. The rejection he'd suffered from Najenda recently added fuel to his rage—he was ready to explode.

Just as he prepared to leap into battle—

BOOM!

A colossal shockwave blasted down from the sky, tearing a hole into the ocean's surface. The water swirled wildly, sucked inward by the sheer force of the blow.

Everyone turned toward the source.

The mist cleared…

And Ryuunosuke floated above the sea, his fists still crackling with energy.

"Since we have guests…" he said calmly, eyes sharp, voice firm, "we should greet them properly."

He looked to Kaido, who was floating beside him, grinning like a beast unleashed.

Kaido nodded. "Agreed. If they came all this way…" His body twisted midair, preparing a breath attack. "Let's entertain them."
