[[The bridge to Perona's room]]
"What's with that size!?"
"Is he the devil!? I've never seen a giant before!!!"
Franky opened and closed his mouth in shock: "Is this a zombie!?"
The same thing for Zoro and Sanji, they were shocked by the giant zombie that relied on Luffy's shadow to move: "This is..."
For Usopp, he was more afraid than shocked, because it was not the first time he saw Oars: "It's over. It's the end!! He's come to kill us!!!" "GYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" "Uwaaaah. What are you doing...?!"
Oars grabbed the roof of the building and put it on his head, remembering Roger who also wore a hat.
"Yosh!! I'm in a good mood now!! I'm gonna become the rotten pirate king!!"
"Mah, when that thing broke it surprised me."
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"Wahahahaha!!!" Roger laughed hard at the comedic scene.
Beside him, Rouge lost her grip on her jaw and also laughed at the scene.
"The captain's face in the manga again! Hahahaha!!"
"Captain! This ancient giant wants to wear a hat as a symbol of being a pirate king, HAHAHAHA!!"
Shanks laughed as he held his stomach, the previous scene was extremely funny.
On the side, Buggy was also laughing as if there was no tomorrow.
The scene reminded them of Crocus' first appearance in the manga, which Sanji and Usopp described as a strange flower.
West Blue, Dolta Island:
Dolta Island is considered a medium-sized island with a cold climate. In the past, the island was not under the jurisdiction of the world government because its inhabitants did not have enough money to pay the celestial taxes to the Celestial Dragons. Because of this, anarchy was rampant on the island, whether it be pirates or mafia guys. The inhabitants of this island never lived a day in peace... This was before Rob came to the island and opened an art store.
Just like Ilka Island and many other islands, the environment here has changed since the art store appeared.
What does an art store mean on an island?
This means that the island has become a safe area under the Hunters Guild... And who would dare to act recklessly on the guild's lands?
This island, "which was not mentioned in the original story," was only special for one reason.
Because it is the island where one of the four mysterious of Thriller Bark Pirates was born: Absalom's hometown!
Inside the "Dolta" art store sat a little boy with blonde hair and sharp eyes, appearing to be 11 years old, alone in the store tavern.
This kid was none other than Absalom himself, the only one who realizes this reality is himself!
And the reason, of course, is that his name and Devil Fruit match with Absalom in the manga, only his monster face does not match.
"Come on! Come on! When will I show up again!?" Despite not understanding the reason for his appearance in this form or why he joined Gecko Moria, he didn't think about all of these things. All he cared about now was getting to know his character in the manga well and enjoying the events… After all, he was still a kid.
East Blue, Syrup Town:
Without warning, Yasopp suddenly and recklessly tossed his drink all over Beckman's face, drenching him.
Beckman, who had been engrossed in the manga with wide eyes and an expression of shock on his face, was equally taken aback.
They were not alone in their surprise, as everyone in the art store was caught off guard.
The sound of a woman's laughter startled them and brought them back to reality.
"Hahahaha!! This kid never fails to surprise me," the woman laughed.
Banshina couldn't help but shake her head, a smile creeping onto her face despite the chaotic scene.
As Beckman had stated, Usopp was truly a hopeless case.

"It seems that you're already familiar with how terrible these ghosts can be..."
"I'm a spirit woman capable of calling spirits forth freely. These ghosts are part of me. They hollow out a person's spirit!!"
"Horohorohoro, this is where it ends for all of you!!" Perona cast her ghosts onto Sanji, Usopp, Zoro, and Franky:
Usopp: "It's over. Everything..."
Franky: "That's it!! I want to be treated like a stray dog!!"
Sanji: "My existence is even lower than a dead fish...!! I want to die..."
Zoro: "I'm sorry that I've been treading upon the same earth as everyone else." Official source is nοvelfire.net
After seeing this, Perona gestured for the zombies to capture them: "Capture them!!"
But to her surprise, Usopp stood in front of the zombies and purified all of them that came close. "I won't let you lay a hand on my crew!!!"
Perona: "Damn... Did he not get hit? 'Negative Hollow'..."
Even after the negative ghost passed through his body, Usopp stood up and spoke: "My name is... CAPTAIN USOPP!!"
Perona: "Why!!! Why aren't you on your knees?!!! The ghost touched you!! What did you do?!!"
"I didn't do anything!!!" Usopp continued and shouted with determined eyes: "I'M ALREADY NEGATIVE!!"
After hearing this, Perona's round eyes widened in an absolute shock that she had never experienced in her life.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"Hahahahaha... My belly aches so much, I think I might die from laughter!"
"YAHAHAHAHA... Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed this hard in my entire life!"
"Hahaha!! Did he really just call himself negative!? Hahahaha!! This is so amusing!"
"Hahahaha!! It's legendary! This scene is truly legendary!"
"Hahahahaha!! Oh my goodness! My stomach is hurting from laughing so much! Just look at the expression on Perona's face... it's priceless!"
The art store in the small town of Syrup was filled with a contagious fit of laughter that couldn't be contained.
No one could have predicted such a legendary scene would unfold.
Out of nowhere, the never-ending fit of laughter began, not only in the art store located in Syrup but also in all the art stores spread throughout the world. Everyone was caught up in the moment, and couldn't stop laughing.
