One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

"I can't resist delicious food. Looks like I can eat my fill."

Kahn looked at the people coming and going and remarked, "At this time of day, I always feel like I'm the only one who's not doing anything; everyone else has a task."

"And me too."

As soon as Lach raised his hand to answer, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Brother Kahn, would you like to come with me to the food festival?"

"A food festival?"

Kahn wondered if he had lost his memory while in a coma. "This food festival was Lena's idea? I don't remember mentioning this amazing-sounding project."

"Hehe~"

Lach said somewhat embarrassedly, "This project was something I first came up with in my dreams. Morgans thought that food could make money and help us gain fame, so he mobilized the news agency to promote it and get people who were willing to help to participate in the project."

"I heard that many food connoisseurs have come, as well as quite a few famous chefs. There are prizes, cooking competitions, and lots of delicious food to eat..."

"Morgans did a really good job."

Kahn smiled slightly. "This food festival will be one of our specialties from now on. After all, it's the New Year, so it's best to have a lively and festive atmosphere."

He'd never experienced such a lively New Year before.

That sounds interesting.

"I'll go with you."

Kahn was in a particularly relaxed mood and said, "Everything is back on track. Let's have a good New Year together."

Two relatively idle people.

We went to the food festival together.

Although it's called a food festival, it will actually last for many days, with various events and competitions, and many reporters will be involved. It hasn't officially started yet.

The first one probably won't be too lively.

Kahn and Lach went there to sample the food and get a taste of the culinary skills of chefs from all over the world—they were entitled to that privilege.

On the way, Kahn encountered the little Celestial Dragon he had brought out from God Valley.

With golden hair and golden eyes, she possesses a noble yet approachable air, exuding a gentle and beautiful natural charm. Dressed in simple clothes, she has fair skin, delicate features, and a radiant smile.

He interacted with a group of ordinary girls in the crowd.

He called out, "Little one."

The little girl was about to refute that she wasn't a little girl, but the familiar voice made her turn around and wave generously.

Two small dimples appeared on her face.

She was still very timid and afraid of death.

But many things have changed.

Kahn used gestures and his eyes to tell her what he was going to do.

"Ah."

The little one's dimples became even more pronounced.

The two then parted ways.

"I didn't understand it at all."

Lach asked in bewilderment, "She actually understood it? Is this telepathy?"

She did not notice any fluctuations caused by Observation Haki.

“This is a habit that she and I developed.”

Kahn said, "I don't want you to have this habit, and your brother wouldn't want you either."

“Brother Kahn.”

Lach asked, "Would you go and kill her?"

Kahn countered, "Why would you think that?"

Lach replied, "I once had a pet, and I kept it for a while. Then it died, and I was sad for a long time. Brother Kahn, she is a person who has done very bad things and does not deserve to be forgiven, but after all these years, if I were to really kill her, I think I would be very sad."

"You think I'd be more upset."

Kahn looked her straight in the eye. "Is that right?"

This little girl's thoughts are too easy to guess.

No! I won't kill her!

“I want to exchange her for money. The World Government will offer a good price. Killing her will do me no good and will not help us at all. I won’t do anything stupid.”

"Oh."

Rach was restless.

"..."

Kahn explained, “She doesn’t belong here. She’ll go back to her own home sooner or later. Her ‘family’ wants her to go home, so they have to pay us child support. Her family is very powerful, so it’s normal for them to provide us with supplies. We’re helping them protect the little one’s life.”

This statement is indeed unacceptable to Lach.

price.

Buying and selling.

……

For the Lunaria race.

This is their eternal pain.

He changed his wording, which brought back that憨憨 (simple and honest) and healing smile to Lach's face.

Kahn smiled.

Being with this little girl is very relaxing and enjoyable.

The two of them walked and talked.

“Brother Kahn.”

Lach looked excited, as if he had discovered something incredible. He covered his face and exclaimed, "A girl is peeking at you!"

"..."

Kahn stopped in his tracks.

This little girl is too slow to react in this regard.

They then realized that someone was watching them.

He had noticed it long ago.

It wasn't just girls; quite a few young boys pretended not to care and secretly glanced at Rach, even making noises or suddenly raising their voices.

But clearly Lach didn't notice this.

Kahn considered whether he should enjoy the beautiful body of a young girl he didn't know, but he dismissed the idea after a few seconds. He wasn't that kind of person and couldn't accept it.

At this stage.

His power is still developing, and things haven't been finalized yet. Doing too many of those kinds of things would cause big problems.

The idea of ​​having a proper relationship, getting married, and having children needs to be put on hold for later.

“Brother Kahn.”

Rah tugged at Rakan's sleeve. "That girl, Lena mentioned her, I think I know her."

Kahn followed the gaze.

He saw a young girl looking at him with a flushed face and a slight smile on her lips, as if she wanted to say something.

"Dolma."

He greeted her naturally and invited, "It's so nice to see you again so soon. Would you like to go to the food festival together?"

Dolma was at a loss.

His expression was one of surprise and delight.

She believes she made mistakes and went astray, but she is trying to return to her original self through another path.

"No, I have a mission."

Dorma waved and said, "Next time for sure!"

Kahn stood still.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Each went their own way forward.

I didn't let you down, did I?

When passing by.

Dolma asked this question in his heart.

She no longer needed answers. Facing the wind and snow, she ran joyfully toward the direction she was meant to reach.

This time, I was filled with joy.

"Kahn is very popular with girls."

Lach said with a look of regret, "I wanted to grab her just now; it would have been more interesting if we had gone together."

"She still has a mission."

Kahn explained, "She's a nurse and needs to be ready to handle any emergencies."

Everyone has their own choices. Dorma once became realistic, materialistic, and pursued material things, and he has no right to criticize him.

This was her choice.

But I can't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

But you can see that she has changed back to her original form.
