[Cocoyasi Village]

The vibrant air of Cocoyasi Village pulsed with energy as its people partied, celebrating their liberation from Arlong's tyranny. The once downtrodden villagers now danced, laughed, and shared food with their unexpected saviors.

Sanji was in his element, swirling across the makeshift dance floor with several women, a cheeky grin plastered on his face. "Ladies, don't all fall for me at once," he teased, twirling one of the women with effortless charm.

Nearby, Zoro sat with a half-empty jug of sake, leaning against a tree. Though bandaged heavily from his fight with Mihawk, he still managed to look intimidating. His face was slightly flushed, and he chuckled to himself as he tilted the jug back. "This village knows how to celebrate," he muttered, before yelling at Usopp. "Oi, Longnose! Stop screaming and drink like a man!"

Usopp, perched on a small platform, was in the middle of a tale. "And then, I aimed my mighty slingshot and—bam! The Fishmen fell like dominoes!" The crowd of children surrounding him gasped in awe, completely captivated by his exaggerated story.

Meanwhile, Goku and Luffy sat at a massive table, each with a pile of empty plates stacked high in front of them. They were surrounded by cheering villagers, who brought plate after plate of food. Goku stuffed a piece of roasted boar into his mouth, grinning as he chewed. "This is amazing! These guys know how to cook!"

Luffy, slurping up noodles at an impressive speed, nodded enthusiastically. "Meat! More meat!" he called out, his voice muffled by the food in his mouth.

As the festivities raged on, Goku's ears perked up at a distant sound—Zoro's scream from the makeshift clinic. Luffy paused mid-bite, glancing in the direction of the shout. "He's still yelling?" he asked through a mouthful of meat.

Goku swallowed and shrugged. "That's gotta mean the doctor's doing a good job, right?"

Luffy frowned, scratching his head. "I don't know... but I'm gonna check on him. And I need to find out where Nami went." He stood up, stretching and yawning. "See you later, Goku!"

Goku grinned, grabbing another plate. "Alright, more food for me, then!"

[Three days later]

Three days passed in a blur of celebration. The villagers didn't let up, their gratitude for their freedom pouring into the festivities. Sanji continued charming every woman he encountered, and Zoro nursed his wounds with sake,

muttering about how he'd get Mihawk back one day. Usopp's tales grew more exaggerated by the hour, earning cheers and laughter from his captivated audience.

As for Goku and Luffy, they continued to feast like there was no tomorrow, their towering piles of plates a testament to their seemingly endless appetites. The laughter, music, and joy of the village made the days feel like one long, endless moment of happiness

[Next day]

The sun hung high over the dock as the crew of the Going Merry prepared to set sail. Luffy stood at the bow, grinning. "Alright, do we have everything?" he called out.

Sanji, leaning against the mast, lit a cigarette and smirked. "Stocked up on food and supplies. We're ready to go."

Usopp stretched with a yawn. "We were here for a few days, but it felt like a lifetime. I'm ready to get moving."

Johnny and Yosaku stood at the dock, waving. "Thanks for everything!" Johnny said. "But it's time for us to go back to being bounty hunters. We'll cross paths again Big Bro Goku, Big Bro Zoro!"

Yosaku nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, we'll see you guys one day!"

Zoro gave a casual wave. "Take care, you two."

Goku smiled, waving with both hands. "Bye! It was fun seeing you again!"

"Let's set sail!" Luffy shouted, but Sanji interrupted him.

"Wait! We can't leave without Nami," he said, looking annoyed.

Zoro leaned against the railing, arms crossed. "Maybe she's not coming," he said flatly.

Sanji's face turned red with anger. "Don't say that about Nami-swan! You wouldn't understand, you moss-headed brute!"

"What did you call me, curly-brow?!" Zoro shot back, stepping closer.

Before they could come to blows, everyone's attention turned toward the sound of running footsteps. Nami came sprinting down the village streets, weaving through the crowd. "Set the sails!" she shouted, determination blazing in her eyes.

"There she is!" Luffy cheered, clapping his hands. "Alright, everyone, let's go! Set sail!"

The villagers on the dock shouted after her. "Stop her! She's running off without us saying thank you!"

Ignoring them, Nami dashed through the crowd. As the Going Merry began to drift away from the dock, she pushed through one last group of villagers, leaped into the air, and landed gracefully on the deck.

Once aboard, she lifted her shirt slightly, and a flood of wallets and coins spilled out, clattering onto the deck. The villagers erupted in complaints from the dock.

"She stole our money!" one yelled.

"That thief!" another shouted, shaking their fist.

Nami smirked, "I'll see you around!" she called back, completely unfazed by their protests.

Usopp sighed, crossing his arms. "She hasn't changed a bit."

Zoro smirked. "Not at all."

Goku and Luffy burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs. "Nami, you're hilarious!" Goku said through his laughter.

Sanji, on the other hand, was in a world of his own, hearts practically floating out of his eyes. "Nami-swan, I can't wait to sail the seas with you! Every day will be heaven!"

As the Going Merry drifted further from the dock, the villagers' shouts faded into the distance. The crew was whole again

[Middle of the sea]

The Going Merry sailed smoothly under the bright afternoon sun, the wind carrying the scent of salt and freedom. Luffy sat cross-legged on the deck, holding his wanted poster up with a grin as wide as the sea. "Look at this! We're wanted criminals now!" he laughed, the excitement bursting from him.

Usopp leaned in, squinting at the poster. "Wanted... Dead or Alive... 40 million berries?!" His jaw dropped before he suddenly cheered, pointing at the poster. "Look, it's me!"

Sanji raised an eyebrow, cigarette dangling from his lips. "Long Nose made it on a wanted poster, and yet I'm not on one? What kind of injustice is this?"

Before Usopp could argue, Goku held up his own poster, grinning. "Hey, check it out, I got one too! Wanted Dead or Alive... 30 million berries! Nice!"

Luffy's laughter echoed across the deck as he jumped to his feet. "Let's head to the Grand Line! That's where the real adventure is!"

Nami, standing at the helm with her hands on her hips, sighed heavily. "You don't understand, do you? Being wanted criminals means our lives are always going to be in danger now. Marines, bounty hunters, even other pirates—they'll all come after us."

Her words didn't faze the crew at all. Instead, a cheer erupted as Luffy and Goku shouted, "Bring it on!" and Usopp joined in with, "They'll see how fearsome we are!"

Zoro, sitting against the mast with his arms crossed, glanced at the posters in Luffy and Goku's hands. He muttered under his breath, "Seventy million berries combined. Headquarters won't take that lightly. Neither will bounty hunters looking to make a name for themselves."

He shifted his swords slightly, a smirk forming on his face. "Good. Let them come."

[Logue town]

The bustling streets of Loguetown were alive with chatter, merchants calling out to customers, and the aroma of street food. Luffy stood at the edge of the ship, eyes sparkling. "Look! An island! That must be Loguetown!"

Nami approached, glancing at the island ahead. "That's Loguetown, all right," she confirmed. "The place where the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, was born and executed."

Zoro leaned against the railing, his swords clinking slightly. "I need some new swords."

Sanji chimed in, casually lighting a cigarette. "I wonder if they've got some fresh ingredients here. I need to up the quality of my cooking."

Goku stretched, sniffing the air. "I hope they've got good food. I'm starving already."

Luffy grinned as they docked, already bouncing with excitement. "I'm gonna find the place where Roger died! Meet you later!" Before anyone could stop him, he bolted off the ship and into the crowd.

Usopp groaned, cupping his hands around his mouth to yell after him. "Wait! We need a meeting spot!" His voice faded into the crowd as Luffy disappeared.

Nami sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Guess we'll split up. Be back at the ship by sunset."

As the crew disembarked, Goku turned to Nami with a sheepish smile. "Hey, Nami, can I get some money?"

Her gaze immediately narrowed, and her voice turned sharp. "Goku, I swear to Kami, if you use all that money just to eat, I'll cut your tail off and make you eat it."

Goku sweat-dropped, laughing nervously. "No, no! I promise I won't!" He grabbed the pouch of money she handed him and sprinted off.

Roaming through the busy streets, Goku's nose caught a whiff of something heavenly. Following the scent like a dog, he stopped in front of a cozy little restaurant called Ox Ford Food. His stomach growled audibly as he stared at the sign. "Just one bite wouldn't hurt," he mumbled to himself, pushing the door open.

Inside, the warm aroma of grilled meats, spiced stews, and freshly baked bread filled the air. Goku's eyes widened as he sat at a table, ordering dish after dish. "This place is amazing!" he exclaimed between bites, the small pouch of money on the table slowly getting lighter.

As Goku finished the last plate of his meal, he leaned back with a satisfied sigh. "Man, that was great!" He raised his hand and called out to the waiter. "Hey, can I get some more, please?"

The waiter approached, looking apologetic. "Sorry, sir, but... you don't have any more money left."

Goku froze, his smile vanishing as he peeked into the pouch. Sure enough, it was completely empty. Beads of sweat rolled down his face. "Oh no... Nami's gonna kill me!" he muttered, clutching the pouch like it could magically refill itself. "I promised I wouldn't spend it all on food!"

Leaving the restaurant in a panic, Goku wandered through the busy streets, trying to think of a way to avoid Nami's wrath. As he walked, he noticed a growing crowd heading in one direction. People were murmuring excitedly, and he caught bits of their conversations.

"Hey, did you hear? Someone's about to be executed on Roger's execution tower!" one man said.

"Yeah, they say he's wearing a straw hat," another added.

Goku stopped in his tracks, his heart skipping a beat. "A straw hat?" He thought for a moment, then his eyes widened. "Luffy?! Luffy's gonna be executed?!" Without another word, he sprinted toward the direction of the crowd, shouting, "Wait a little bit, Luffy! I'll come save you, buddy!"

Just as he was about to take a sharp turn toward the execution platform, a stern voice called out behind him. "Stop right there!"

Goku skidded to a halt, turning to face whoever had spoken. Standing there was a short, bald man in a marine uniform, his arms crossed. Goku's jaw dropped. "Krillin?!"

The sky above Louge Town suddenly turned dark, thick clouds swirling ominously overhead. Goku paused, glancing at Krillin. "Hey, Krillin, I'd love to chat, but I've got to save someone," Goku said, starting to run toward the execution platform.

Krillin stepped in his way, his face resolute. "Stop, Goku. As a marine, it's my duty to protect this town. I can't let you interfere. Please, just leave Louge Town."

Goku frowned, with irritation. "I can't do that, Krillin. Luffy's my captain, and he needs me."

Krillin sighed. His stance firm, he pointed at Goku. "Then I guess I'm going to have to make you leave."

Goku tilted his head, a smirk forming on his face. "You're really gonna fight me? Well, let's make this quick. I don't have time to mess around. I hope you've gotten stronger, Krillin."

Krillin got into his fighting stance, his determination unwavering. "You bet I have. Don't think I'll go easy on you, Goku!"

Without another word, they launched at each other. Their fists clashed midair with an explosive force, sending shockwaves rippling through the street. The civilians nearby scrambled for cover as the two friends exchanged blows at lightning speed.

Krillin ducked under a high kick from Goku and retaliated with a powerful punch to Goku's gut. Goku barely flinched, grabbing Krillin's wrist and flipping him over. Krillin landed on his feet and countered with a rapid barrage of energy blasts.

Goku weaved through the blasts effortlessly, flipping over one and landing a spinning kick that sent Krillin sliding back across the cobblestone street. "Not bad, Krillin! You've definitely gotten faster," Goku said with a grin.

"Thanks," Krillin replied, wiping sweat from his brow. "But I'm not done yet!"

Krillin suddenly disappeared from view, using a high-speed movement technique to reappear behind Goku. He aimed a devastating punch at Goku's back, but Goku twisted at the last second, catching Krillin's fist. Goku spun and delivered a knee to Krillin's stomach, sending him flying into a nearby market stand.

Before the dust could settle, Krillin shot out of the wreckage, yelling, "Take this!" He unleashed an Energy blast, the energy ball humming as it flew toward Goku. Goku jumped high into the air, dodging the blast, and slapped another small ki blast to deflect it harmlessly into the sea.

Krillin flew up after Goku, catching him off guard with a double axe handle to the back, sending him plummeting toward the ground. Goku twisted midair, planting his hands on the ground and flipping back to his feet. Th

The two locked eyes, breathing heavily, their auras flaring. "This is fun," Goku said, his grin widening. "But I don't have time to play around anymore."

Krillin nodded, a bead of sweat rolling down his face. "Neither do I. Let's finish this."

In unison, they cupped their hands at their sides. "Ka...me..." Blue energy began to form in their palms, growing brighter and more intense with each passing moment.

"Hame...!" The energy orbs pulsed with power, casting a blue glow over the battlefield.

"HA!" they yelled in unison, firing their Kamehameha waves at each other. The beams clashed in the middle, the resulting explosion shaking the ground and lighting up the darkened sky. The sheer force of the collision sent debris flying in all directions, and the onlookers watched in awe as the two warriors struggled to overpower each other.

The energy struggle reached its peak, and with a deafening explosion, the beams detonated, throwing both Goku and Krillin backward. Goku landed on his feet, skidding across the ground, while Krillin fell to one knee, breathing heavily.

"You're... really strong, Goku," Krillin said, panting. "But I can't let you pass..."

Goku smiled, his energy steady. "You've gotten a lot stronger too, Krillin. But I can't stop here. Luffy's waiting for me."

Krillin tried to stand but collapsed back to the ground, too exhausted to continue. "Fine... Go save your captain," he muttered. "But next time, I won't hold back."

Goku nodded. "Thanks, Krillin. I owe you one." Without another word, Goku turned and sprinted toward the execution platform yelling for his nimbus leaving Krillin behind as the stormy skies rumbled above.

The rain poured heavily as Goku flew through the skies and spotted Luffy then landed beside him, droplets sliding off his hair and tail as Nimbus faded into the stormy sky. Before them stood a towering figure cloaked in smoke, his eyes cold and unyielding. Smoker, with his cigars burning, let out a puff of smoke as he studied the two pirates.

"Son Goku and Monkey D. Luffy," Smoker began, his deep voice cutting through the sound of thunder. "Your journey ends here. Surrender now, or I'll make sure you regret coming to Louge Town."

Luffy grinned widely, adjusting his straw hat. "Na, I'm not stopping here. I'll get past you, no problem! I'm going to the Grand Line, and then I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!"

Smoker's eyes narrowed, but his focus shifted to Goku. "And you, Son Goku… do you even realize what you're carrying on your back?"

Goku raised an eyebrow, confused. "What do you mean? You mean my Power Pole?" He glanced back at the weapon secured to his back.

"That's no ordinary staff," Smoker said, his tone sharpening. "That's the legendary Power Pole wielded by one of the greatest marines in history—Son Gohan"

Goku froze "My grandpa? He was a legendary Marine? He never told me that…"

Smoker took a step forward, smoke curling around his fists. "Not just a marine. Son Gohan was a legend. He was the man who trained three of the greatest marines of all time: Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru. That staff is a symbol of justice. And as a marine, it's my duty to bring it back to Navy Headquarters, where it belongs."

The rain pelted down harder, and thunder cracked in the distance as Goku processed the revelation. "My grandpa trained them?" Goku muttered, eyes wide. He tightened his grip on the Power Pole. "I can't believe it… Grandpa never told me anything like that."

Luffy tilted his head. "So my Granpa trained under your grandpa, huh? That's pretty cool!" He smiled, but his face quickly turned serious. "But Goku's with me now, and we're not handing anything over to the Navy."

Smoker exhaled another puff of smoke, his expression darkening. "You don't have a choice."

Goku's demeanor shifted, his usual carefree attitude replaced by determination. He stepped forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Luffy. "I don't care what Grandpa did or what this staff means to you. He gave it to me, and I'm not letting anyone take it away."

Smoker smirked, raising his jutte. "Then I'll take it by force. And you two… you're not leaving this town"

The tension in the air thickened as the storm raged around them. Goku and Luffy exchanged a glance, their shared confidence evident.

"Let's do this, Goku!" Luffy shouted, stretching his arms in preparation.

"You got it, Luffy!" Goku replied, taking his fighting stance, Power Pole in his hand

Smoker's body began to transform into swirling smoke, his voice cold and resolute. "Let's see if the grandson of Son Gohan can live up to the legend."

Luffy and Goku charged headlong at Smoker, their resolve unshaken. Luffy extended his arm with a mighty "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" only for his punch to pass through Smoker's smoke-like body harmlessly. Goku followed with a powerful strike from his Power Pole, but it too sliced through Smoker's form without making contact.

Smoker chuckled, his voice cold. "You can't touch me. I'm made of smoke." With a wave of his hand, tendrils of smoke wrapped around both Luffy and Goku, constricting them tightly. "I'll be taking you guys in now," Smoker declared as he slammed Luffy into the ground, leaving the rubber pirate groaning in pain.

The marine's attention shifted to Goku's Power Pole. He reached for it, only for a sudden burst of energy to surge through Goku. His ki erupted, breaking the smoky bindings and forcing Smoker back.

Goku took a step back, examining his fists as if remembering something. His mind flashed to training sessions with Master Roshi. "Ki is life energy," Roshi had said. "It flows through everything. Control it, and it'll make your attacks stronger—even against the intangible."

Smoker launched a swirling smoke blast at him, but Goku dodged with ease, landing firmly on the ground. Letting his ki flow through his hands, he charged forward and delivered a clean punch to Smoker's chest, sending him flying backward.

Smoker staggered, his eyes wide with shock as he steadied himself. "Haki? No Ki just like Krillin, You're not just some ordinary pirate, are you?"

Luffy, pulling himself to his feet, grinned. "You can hit him! Kick his ass, Goku!"

Goku nodded and lunged again, his fist glowing faintly with concentrated ki. Smoker barely managed to dodge, countering with a swipe of his sea stone-tipped jutte. The weapon grazed Goku, but instead of weakening him as it did devil fruit users, Goku appeared unfazed.

Smoker froze, his confusion evident. "What...? Sea stone weakens devil fruit users—"

Goku interrupted with a sharp punch, sending Smoker sliding across the ground. "How many times do I have to say it?" Goku said, his voice calm but firm. "I don't have a devil fruit. My power comes from my training and my ki!"

Before Smoker could respond, Goku planted his feet, his energy spiking. With a deep breath, he charged forward, his aura flaring brightly. "Full Power Rock!" Goku yelled, throwing a devastating punch. The impact launched Smoker through the air, sending him crashing into a nearby wall as the ground quaked beneath them.

Smoker groaned, smoke rising from his battered body as the rain continued to pour. He clutched his side, glaring at Goku. "You're more dangerous than I thought," he muttered, struggling to stand.

Luffy clapped Goku on the back, laughing. "That was awesome, Goku! Let's get out of here before he gets back up!"

Goku nodded, the rain washing over him as he slung the Power Pole onto his back. Together, he and Luffy sprinted off into the stormy streets, leaving Smoker behind, seething

As Goku and Luffy sprinted toward the docks, a figure cloaked in green observed them from the shadows of a nearby building. The man smirked, his expression filled with a mix of pride and mystery. "You two have grown so much. Go and make your dreams happen," he murmured before turning away, disappearing into the Shadows

Goku paused mid-step, his senses tingling. He turned his head sharply toward where the man had been standing moments ago.

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked, glancing over his shoulder, confused by Goku's sudden stop.

Goku hesitated, scanning the empty spot. "It's nothing... I just sensed something," he replied, shaking his head as they continued toward the docks.

When they arrived, they saw Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp standing at the edge of the dock, yelling and waving at the Going Merry as it began to drift away.

"Hey!" Nami's voice rang out from the deck as she frantically waved back at them.

"Great timing," Goku said, smirking as he called out, "Nimbus!" The golden cloud zipped to his side instantly, hovering just above the ground.

Luffy hopped onto Nimbus and extended his arms, grabbing Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp. "Hold on!" he yelled as the group soared through the air, landing with a thud on the Going Merry

"Hey, don't leave us behind!" Luffy said with a laugh, plopping down on the deck as everyone caught their breath.

Nami pointed ahead, a faint glimmer in her eyes. "Look, right there! That's a lighthouse. That means the Grand Line is straight ahead!"

Everyone turned to the horizon, their hearts pounding as they saw the faint outline of the Grand Line on the edge of the ocean.

Luffy's grin stretched wide. "This is it! We're almost there!"

Sanji grabbed a nearby crate and placed it on the deck. Putting his leg on it, he lifted his chin and announced, "I'm going to find the All Blue!"

Luffy stepped forward, planting his foot confidently on the crate. "I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

Goku joined, resting one leg on the crate and clenching his fists. "I'm going to become the world's strongest!"

Nami, with a determined glint in her eyes, stepped up. "I'm going to draw a map of the entire world!"

Zoro puts his leg against the crate "I'm going to become the world's greatest swordsman."

Usopp hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, his chest puffed out. "And I'm going to be a brave warrior of the sea!"

As the crew stood together, their resolve burning brighter than ever, Luffy grinned and extended his leg, tapping the crate with his foot.

"Now... to the Grand Line!" Luffy yelled.

One by one, they all kicked the crate together in unison, sealing their promises. The cheers of the crew rang out as the Going Merry sailed forward, the lighthouse growing larger in the distance. Their journey toward the Grand Line had officially begun

[Egghead Island]

Dr. Gero stormed through the sterile halls of Egghead Island, the clipboard tucked under his arm and his mind racing with possibilities. The discovery of this DNA was unlike anything he had ever seen—a genetic structure that defied all known limits. Collected from the mysterious "Son Goku" on West Cord Island, it was a breakthrough that could redefine the very essence of life on the planet.

Entering Dr. Vegapunk's lab, he was met with the imposing presence of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, the Gorosei member and head of science. Saturn stood next to Vegapunk, his cold eyes peering over the lab's work. The room, filled with high-tech equipment and holographic displays, fell silent as Dr. Gero approached.

"You have something urgent to report?" Saturn asked, his voice low and authoritative.

Dr. Gero placed the clipboard on the table before them, his hands trembling slightly—not from fear, but from excitement. "Yes, I've made a groundbreaking discovery. This DNA…" he gestured toward the tube he had brought with him, glowing faintly red hue, "…is unlike anything on this planet. My analysis shows that it surpasses even the most powerful bloodlines—Fishman, Buccaneers, Lunarians, and even the Seraphim prototypes. This DNA has the potential to revolutionize the Seraphim Project."

Vegapunk, always curious and calculating, leaned forward, adjusting his glasses. "Out of this planet, you say? Elaborate."

Dr. Gero nodded, flipping through the clipboard's pages. "The energy coursing through this DNA is unprecedented. It's like it's alive in a way that goes beyond standard biological processes. It enhances durability, strength, and energy production to levels we've never imagined. The donor, a man named Son Goku, exhibited combat abilities far beyond anything recorded for his age"

Saturn raised an eyebrow. "A pirate?"

"No," Dr. Gero replied quickly. "As far as I can tell, he's not aligned with any group. He's… an anomaly."

Saturn scanned the pages before him, the room falling into a tense silence as he read. After several moments, he looked up. "And what do you propose we do with this DNA, Dr. Gero?"

"I request permission to incorporate it into the Seraphim Project," Gero said firmly. "I believe that using this DNA will make the Seraphim unstoppable. I also propose creating a new model—a prototype dedicated solely to this genetic material with a bit of Lunarian If successful, we could mass-produce them."

Vegapunk stroked his chin, intrigued but cautious. "Tampering with unknown DNA is risky. If it's as potent as you claim, the consequences could be unpredictable."

Saturn's lips curled into a cold smile. "Risk often brings the greatest rewards. You have my permission, Dr. Gero" He leaned forward, his gaze piercing. "You will use this DNA sparingly at first. Focus on the existing Seraphim models, enhancing them slightly to test compatibility. If your results prove promising, we will proceed with your prototype idea. Is that clear?"

Dr. Gero exhaled sharply, the tension in his shoulders easing. "Crystal clear, Saint Saturn. Thank you for this opportunity."

As Saturn nodded in dismissal, Dr. Gero bowed slightly and turned to leave. Walking back through the lab's corridors, he couldn't help but feel a surge of exhilaration. This was his chance to cement his legacy—not just as the head of the Seraphim Project, but as the greatest mind in scientific history.

Looking down at the tube in his hand, he muttered to himself, "With this… I'll create the ultimate being....No, the perfect being"

Dr. Gero descended into the shadowy depths of his secret underground lab, the air filled with the faint hum of machinery and the sterile smell of metal and coolant. He pressed a button on the wall, sealing the room behind him. With deliberate steps, he moved to a hidden compartment, pulling out a collection of old newspapers and tossing them onto his desk. The flickering light of his supercomputer cast eerie shadows as he flipped through the pages.

As his eyes scanned the headlines, his expression darkened, then turned into a twisted grin. One article caught his attention—a new bounty for a pirate named Son Goku. The accompanying image of Goku smiling confidently made Dr. Gero's blood boil. His fists clenched, crumpling the paper slightly as he sneered.

"Son Goku…" he muttered, his voice dripping with venom. "You may be a thorn in my side now, but your day will come. I'll ensure that you face the consequences of interfering with my plans. One day, you'll die, and it will be by my creations."

Gero stood, his chair screeching against the metal floor as he turned toward the far side of the room. Two figures lay unconscious on metal tables, their bodies mostly covered by cloth. One was a young woman with blonde hair, her face peaceful yet haunting in its stillness. The other was a young man with jet-black hair, his features sharp and expressionless.

Walking toward them, Dr. Gero's eyes gleamed with a mix of malice and ambition. "Lapis," he said, staring at the young man. "And Lazuli," he continued, his gaze shifting to the woman. "Two celestial slaves, discarded by the world. No one would have cared if you had died. You were meaningless… but I will give your lives purpose. With your help, you'll change the world."

He placed his hands on the edges of their tables, leaning forward as if confiding in them. "You will no longer be Lapis and Lazuli. From this moment forward, you will be Android 17 and Android 18—the pinnacles of my genius and the instruments of my vengeance."

Straightening up, Dr. Gero turned toward the center of the lab, where a massive robotic frame stood suspended by thick cables. It was sleek and intimidating, its metallic surface gleaming under the harsh fluorescent lights. His pace slowed as he approached it, and his expression softened—not with kindness, but with the weight of unresolved grief.

Beneath the robot was a small table, and on it lay a photograph of a woman and a young boy. Gero picked it up, his hand trembling slightly. "My dear…" he whispered, his voice breaking for a moment. "My son… I will bring you back. stronger than ever. And together, we'll destroy that Son Goku who tore our lives apart."

He set the photo down carefully and looked up at the hulking machine. His face twisted into a determined scowl. "With you and my ultimate creations, the world will finally understand the genius of Dr. Gero. No one—neither pirates nor marines—will stand in my way."

The room echoed with the hum of machinery and the faint sound of laughter, dark and unhinged, as Gero began working tirelessly on his master plan to unleash his vengeance upon the world.
