Crewmates assemble

Fixing my gaze upon the illuminated 12th circles, I eagerly await what is to come. Suddenly, a burst of energy and a gust of wind hit me in the face, revealing 12 figures before me. This is no dream.

"Yahahahahaha!" I burst into laughter.

"Oioioioi, that was incredibly uncomfortable, temeee," another voice says. It's Gintama, looking around with his dead fish eyes.

Then another voice chimes in, "Ajajajaja, it sure as hell was," Lupin says. "Eee, Jigen, you're here too... Goemon as well."

"Oj Lupin, what the hell are you doing here?" Jigen yells at Lupin.

"Lupin and Jigen too, it seems fate still wants us to work together... desu," the samurai Goemon says.

"Yahahahhahah, welcome, welcome, guys."

"Arrra Arraa, so many strong people here, truly the best place as I was promised,even the energy in the air feels different," said Unohana, viewing everyone with a creepy, scary smile. Even though everyone here is currently weak without their previous power, they all have a strong presence. Even though I wasn't a powerhouse in my previous life, I have a strong soul that makes my presence unique.

"Woman, so you came here as well," Zaraki says with a deep voice.

"Kenpachi, so you're lucky as well. It seems only the two of us came from Soul Society."

"Uahahauahahhua, yes, woman, I can't wait to fight," Kenpachi says with a maddening laugh.

"Yoooosh, Youuuuuth, this place... this presence screams Youuuuth to me," Rock Lee screams, pointing with his thumb up and winking with one eye.

"Lee, you never change, do you?" Tsunade chimes in.

"Tsunade-sama," Rock Lee replies, visibly happy.

"Sugoi Dekai," Gintama's dead fish eyes turn round at the moment.

"You bastard, do you want to die?" Tsunade says, a tick mark forming on her forehead.

As I lose myself looking at her, I think about how truly impressive there are round and big….. Sensing my gaze, she turns her eyes towards me, and another tick mark forms on her forehead. I quickly turn my head to another crewmate, sweat forming on my forehead. Sensing my look, Garou says, "Thank you for bringing me here, Captain. Even the air feels different in this world."

"Even a monster like you is here, Garou," Tatsumaki says in her loli voice, yelling.

"Hmph, nothing to do with you, chibi," Garou retorts.

"Who are you calling chibi, you bastard?" Tatsumaki fires back.

"Na na, calm down, everyone," Yukihima says with a calm voice.

"Eee... who are you anyway? You don't look like a strong person," Tatsumaki questions.

"Well, I'm not a fighter anyway. I'm the cook of this ship. But even if I don't fight, you have to respect me. Who knows, if you don't, I'll add some poison to your food, hehehehe," Youkihima says.

As I listen to them talking, a smile spreads across my face. Knowing that I'll spend time with the people I find funny and have always liked truly makes me happy.

"Alright, everyone, you guys know me, but you don't know each other. Let's introduce ourselves. First, Mikasa, since she hasn't talked since appearing."

I nod at Mikasa, and she nods back. She looks mature with her shaggy black hair down to her neck, wearing her survey corps uniform that accentuates her curves.

"I'm Mikasa Ackerman. I dislike Titans. As for likes, I don't have anything I like. My preferred fighting style is light sword and speed martial arts," she says. It's understandable that she doesn't like anything since Eren died.

"Well, you'll definitely start to like something in the future. Don't dwell on the past. That's what's best for you," I say, trying to cheer her up. She looks at me and nods.

Turning my head, I look at Lupin, who's wearing his iconic black suit with a red jacket, a tall round cap, and a pistol at his side. He has a rather athletic body, contrary to what I had previously thought.

"Okay, next Lupin."

"Aj aj, Captain... so my name is Arsene Lupin the 3rd, master thief at your service," he says, bowing with one hand on his chest and the other taking off his cap like a magician." Looking at him I know who Oda copied for Laffite design.

He straightens his back and continues, "I'm skilled in stealth, sabotage, shooting, and I'm pretty proficient in the art of disguise. As for my likes... I like treasure. That's why I came here, Captain. I want to see what that One Piece is that makes all these people crazy."

"Yahahahahah, we'll definitely see what One Piece is, partner," I say, laughing.

"Next, Jigen," I say.

"Hai, hai Cap," he responds. Stepping forward, he looks at everyone, wearing his iconic black cowboy hat and black suit, with his 357 magnum pistol, or as he calls it, his girlfriend, at his side.

"I'm Daisuke Jigen. I'm a sniper, and I'm pretty good at it. I love my gun, my hat, and Italian food," he says.

"Noted, Italian food," Youkihima responds.

"Okay, Goemon, next."

Goemon nods and walks to the front. He's wearing a traditional yukata and has his sword with a bamboo sheath.

"I'm Goemon Ishikawa desu. I am a samurai. I like challenges and my sword. Take care of me," he says, bringing his hands together in front of him and bowing slowly.

"Good, next, Gintoki," I say.

As Gintoki steps forward, everybody looks at his unique style, with his yukata draped over one shoulder and the other hanging down to his legs.

"Well, I'm Gintoki. People call me Gintama, Gin, or Tama," he says nonchalantly, causing everyone to chuckle.

"I'm a samurai. I like pachinko, karaoke, and... and... and...?" He looks around, trying to find an answer.

"Sake (alcohol)," I reply.

"Ping pong... You sure know me the best, Captain, muahahahaha," he says, laughing.

All the other crewmates look at him with deadpan eyes.

"Okay, next, Youkihima, then Garou and Rock Lee," I say.

Youkihima steps forward, wearing his chef suit, all white with a tall hat and bright red hair.

"Hey everyone, it's Youkihira Soma. I have a passion for cooking and a strong aversion to wasting food. I may not know how to fight, but don't worry, I've got something figured out for protection, as Captain told me," he chuckles.

Before gathering everyone, I pondered on which devil fruit to give to my crewmates. For Youkihima, the Barrier-Barrier fruit seemed like the perfect choice.

Next up is Gauro, with his striking silver hair and explosive muscles showcased in his tight suit. He walks with a beastly aura, stopping to gaze at everyone with piercing eyes.

"I'm Garou, a lover of martial arts and a hater of fake heroes and fake justice" he declares.

"Mmm... that's good, I suppose," I respond.

"You'll definitely have fun with hypocrites of Navy."

"Alright, next is Rock Lee."

Rock Lee dashes to the front, donning his iconic green suit. I can't help but think he'd look even cooler in something resembling Bruce Lee's attire, I'll have him take it off later.

"Yooosh minasan, I'm Rock Lee, a martial artist who embraces youth! I hope we can all get along," he exclaims.

"Clap clap clap, well done, Lee. Okay, next is Unohana."

"Arra Arra, so I've finally my turn," she says with a sly smile.

As she walks, her hips sway from side to side, accentuated by her long black skirt, black jacket, and white t-shirt. I can't help but be captivated by her curves.

She turns around, flashing me a mischievous grin. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Retsu Unohana, a skilled shinigami proficient in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. I enjoy challenges and, of course, the taste of my enemies' blood when I vanquish them. There's nothing I dislike."

"Very cool, Unohana," I respond, catching myself just in time before accidentally calling her "mami." I let out a relieved sigh and she looks at me with a playful smile. "Next up, Tatsumaki."

Tatsumaki hears her name and approaches slowly. Her green curly hair and eyes stand out, and she wears a black dress that clings to her petite figure, revealing four high-cut leg slits. She looks stunning, but for some reason, I feel like admiring her is somehow forbidden,as she looks younger than she is.

She steps forward and introduces herself. "I'm Tatsumaki, an esper... well, not at the moment. I have a fondness for candy, apples and cute thinks,I dislike anything ugly."

"Okay, next is Tsunade."

Tsunade strides forward, her arms crossed over her chest. She wears a green and milky kimono, and her ample assets and swaying hips make her the epitome of a goddess. Her MILF status is one of the reasons I chose her, and she truly is the best. As if sensing my gaze, she shoots me a stern look.

"I'm Tsunade, a doctor and a hand-to-hand combat expert. I value peace, gambling, and sake, and I despise war."

As Tsunade finishes speaking, Kenpachi steps forward with a deep, commanding voice.

"I am Zaraki Kenpachi, or just Kenpachi. I wield a sword and like strong individuals. Weaklings, on the other hand, I despise. I'll be your blade, Captain. Just bring me worthy opponents, and I'll fight to my heart's content, uahahahahaha!" he laughs boisterously.

"Yahahahahhahaa, I'll certainly do that," I respond with a grin. I look around at my crewmates, knowing that from this day forward, a new era will begin in this world.

"Alright, everyone, let's celebrate!" I declare.

Youkihima heads to the kitchen and retrieves barrels of booze and beer. We all gather in a circle, raising our glasses and cheering for one another.

A new day dawns tomorrow, marking the beginning of our grand adventure.
