    Summary

    Retired pro gamer Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't expect much to change when Ways of Survival, an unpopular RPG game spanning over 10 years, comes quietly to an end. Little does he expect the hurricane of scenarios that arrives with the enigmatic protagonist Kim Dokja.

    In this new apocalypse, Kim Dokja, failed regressor extraordinaire, and Yoo Joonghyuk, the sole player of that dying franchise, cross paths. They're off to an explosive start.

    Summary

    “Ah,” he says, squinting down at the coins. He can’t make out the imprint, but he recognizes the size and color of these ones. “You either have an astoundingly good eye or you’re very well read. I assume you know where they’re from?”

    It’s hard to tell, but Marcus thinks he sees the man nod. “I’m mostly surprised that you have them at all,” his guest says. “Most places, they won’t hang on to anything from Flevance. Too much fear associated with the name.”

    A stranger walks into Marcus' shop.

    He leaves with a handful of coins.

    Summary

    “But Dadan, it’s Fish Day!” Luffy protests, scrambling to get up. He can hear Sabo’s breath whoosh out of his mouth as Luffy’s knee digs into his stomach, and he has to dodge a rubbery elbow to the face as he sits up, grabbing Luffy around the waist with one arm and covering his face with his free hand. It doesn’t stop him moving entirely, but it at least slows him down.

    “Luffy,” Ace deadpans, hand still over his mouth. “What the hell is ‘Fish Day?’”

    Foosha has some sort of festival going on, and Luffy is dead set on his brothers accompanying him.

    It's probably the best thing they could have done.

    Summary

    He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here.

    When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home.

    As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return.

    Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

    Summary

    “What was he like when you were younger?” Jinbe asks, looking strangely intent as he stares at Ace. Ace stares back at him for a moment, before leaning his head back against the cell wall and smiling. Memories of him, Luffy, and Sabo running through the forest flash before his eyes, and nostalgia fills him. The months that the three of them spent together are Ace’s most treasured memories.

    He grins, shaking his head and chuckling as he says, “Well, I guess if I’m going to talk about him as a kid, I should talk about my twin first.”

    (Or: Ace calls Sabo his twin while in Impel Down and consequences happen.)
