The Thousand Sunny was cruising peacefully across the Grand Line. Seagulls cawed lazily, the waves shimmered beneath the sunlight, and most of the crew were enjoying a rare calm day.

Well—except for you.

You were sprawled in your usual spot on deck, wrapped burrito-style in your favorite blanket, snoring softly. You were the Straw Hat napper—no one even questioned it anymore. Even Nami had stopped yelling. You helped when needed, but today was clearly not that day.

That’s when a rift in the sky cracked open, glowing with eerie mist and the sound of swords clashing.

“...That’s not normal,” Sanji muttered, cigarette dangling. “Zoro, that your fault again?”

“Nope,” Zoro grunted, already reaching for his swords.

With a sudden burst of lightning, nine figures tumbled out of the rift and landed with surprising grace (and some clumsy crashes) right onto the Sunny's deck.

✨Who Appeared:

1. Giyu Tomioka – landed standing, arms crossed, looking annoyed and wet from the ocean air. “...Where are we?”
2. Shinobu Kocho – smiled sweetly while observing Chopper. “How cute~ Are you some kind of new demon?”
3. Kyojuro Rengoku – landed with a booming, “AH-HA! WHAT A MAGNIFICENT SHIP!!”
4. Tengen Uzui – immediately called the Sunny “UNFLASHY” and started judging everyone’s “flamboyance.”
5. Muichiro Tokito – stared at the sea with mild wonder before spacing out completely.
6. Mitsuri Kanroji – cried about how "beautiful and kind-looking" everyone seemed.
7. Sanemi Shinazugawa – instantly yelled and threatened Zoro with a blade. “You wanna GO, Moss-head?!”
8. Obanai Iguro – quietly shadowed Mitsuri, giving Luffy a suspicious glare.
9. Gyomei Himejima – knelt and prayed, thinking this must be some divine trial.

(Yes—even the dead ones were here, alive and healthy like nothing ever happened.)

Luffy blinked. "Whoaaa, new nakama??!"

“NO!” Nami yelled.

“They’re not even from this world!” Robin added, flipping through her books.

“They do have swords,” Zoro said, sizing up Giyu.

“…Oh crap. They ALL have swords,” Usopp whispered, hiding behind Franky.

Meanwhile, you were still asleep. Not even Rengoku’s loud declarations or Sanemi’s yelling could wake you. You just grumbled something in your sleep like,

“...five more hours… tell Zoro to do it…”

Tengen leaned over you. “This one’s got style. Sleeps like a flashy boss.”

Shinobu knelt beside you and poked your cheek. "They're alive. Just incredibly well-rested."
