Hiro was in the dorm with a frustrated face, Joichiro was all smiles, Gin had a depressed mood and Zerotwo was humming to herself. They had competed for the seats and the result was Joichiro taking 7th, Hiro 8th, Zerotwo 9th, and Gin was 10th.
Poor Gin.
Sigh
F in the chat for Gin.
Anyway!
They continued competing in the dorm while Shokugeki challenges flooded the doors. Hiro finally got the taste of having students aggressively come and demand challenges. Fumio was ready and the dorm residents had riot shields and a hose.
Zerotwo laughed and doused the students with the hose, sending them rolling away. Hiro smashed his riot shield on a guy and laughed evilly. Joichiro and Gin were grinning and bouncing back people.
Everybody was having fun and in the end, Hiro challenged them all to a 300 v 1 Shokugeki.
Needless to say, he beat the scrubs and collected 300 more knives.
It was getting a bit ridiculous.
Nearly 35% of the student body had their knives taken from them.
The status if the Polar Star Dorm shot through the roof, it was what Fumio called the 'Golden Age' of the Polar Star dorm, every day was a blast for her, tasting dozens of different dishes. The other Dorm residents started joining in the competitions at night until they were all in it.
Hiro looked at all the people and scratched his neck, chuckling "We're gonna need a bigger board." the group chuckled and they were all smiles, it was an intense and friendly rivalry, but not it evolved into something more!
The bottom 5 were in charge of the chores around the house.
The 4 didn't reset their wins either.
Completely unfair.
But the others didn't mind, they were constantly improving. Everyone was having a great time as the time passed.
The School went on a break and several students left, but it was the same routine for the 4, who didn't really have anywhere to go.

In One Piece
It had been years since Hiro and Zerotwo left.
Isabella and Ace had their baby and his name was Thomas. He was a cute kid and Hiro played with him all the time. Yami and Yachiru had left, revealing to Isabella that Hiro had given him and Yachiru a system.
Isabella bid the duo goodbye and Yami smiled, hugging her before leaving with Yachiru.
Isabella and Ace settled on Dream Flower Island with Thomas and were already expecting another child, making Hiro literally speechless.
Time continued passing
The crew had settled down after they accomplished everything they wanted to accomplish, they all settled on Dream Flower Island.
It was a happy island, the World Government was finished, the red line was destroyed, everything was right with the world.
Eventually, Thomas became of age and left home on his own adventure.
Hiro stayed back and experimented with something in secret.
A long time later
Thomas came back and Hiro had a proposition for him after seeing how his personality was. Thomas was a kind and quirky kid. He was very nice, a normal person without any mental problems.
Hiro showed him a white devil fruit with multicolored swirls that seemed to be breathing.
Thomas was stunned and said "Gramps! What is that!?" Hiro chuckled and said "This? This is a massive responsibility, Tommy. I want to put you in charge of this responsibility." Thomas waved his hands saying "Gramps! I can't!" Hiro patted his shoulder and smiled "Yeah, I think you can. I believe in you. I still remember the little brat hugging my legs."
He had a warm smile and Thomas smiled softly before asking "What is it, Grandpa." Hiro smiled and said "You must've heard stories from your mother, how she went to different worlds, right?" Thomas nodded and Hiro smiled "I heard you went to space? Did you find anything?"
Thomas sighed and shook his head. Hiro smiled and said "Not to worry, there's a concept called the Multiverse Theory. You know what that is?" Thomas nodded "The thought that there is an Infinite amount of Universes that are different or slightly different?"
Hiro smiled and said "Maybe, THIS world doesn't have the answers you're looking for... But that doesn't mean others won't." Hiro held out the fruit and said "This will make you the 'God' of One Piece, which means that you will have complete control over the entirety of One Piece's multiverse. Every iteration of the same world is in your power... Grandpa even modified it a bit, allowing you to take souls from powerless worlds. Like taking souls from the recently dead, etc."
He looked at Thomas and said "This is a big responsibility, Thomas. Can I trust you with this?" Thomas swallowed and said "I'll try my best, gramps!" Hiro smiled and hugged him, saying "I know Thomas. Grandpa loves you." before walking away, leaving Thomas with watery eyes and a big smile.
He ate the fruit and his entire being of existence changed
He flashed and appeared in a white space.
He started trying out his powers in this self-labeled 'Divine Plane' he had a bunch of fun and decided to explore around. He saw his dad in hundreds of thousands of different iterations, he saw everything and there was suddenly an anomaly!
An old man plopped onto the sand on Raftel in one of the worlds. He had robotic limbs but he laughed like a fool realizing where he was. Thomas focused on the man and his life story was laid out for Thomas to see. He was shocked, this guy was a real genius!
He decided to keep watching him for now.
The guy sat on Raftel, not doing anything, just sitting at a table and staring out to the sea with a calm smile on his face. Thomas started looking into the old man's previous world, he found out that One Piece was a show in his world and there were hundreds of thousands of reincarnated into this so-called anime worlds in the old man's world.
Thomas read them all in a second and whistled, none of them had anything to do with his grandpa. He assumed Hiro was a God himself because if not, how could he be here right now? Clearly Hiro either killed the god in charge and put him there, or there was no God and Hiro claimed this Multiverse for himself.
Thomas watched as the old man met the crew on Raftel and even found out all the secrets before dying during the party with a smile on his face. Thomas watched as Chopper shook his head, feeling the old man's pulse.
The crew was sad and Luffy said "Bury him here." they all smiled and started.
Thomas pulled the soul from another hand and sneered at the other god, who said "He belongs to me." Thomas said "He died in my jurisdiction. Had he died in his world, then he would be yours." the god narrowed his eyes and said "You're the new god, eh? Watch yourself, kid." before disappearing.
Thomas put the sleeping soul down and panicked a bit before waving, a desk and chairs appeared. He sat down and waved again, he changed into a white t-shirt and pants before pretending to be as calm as possible.
The soul woke up and said "Huh? Is this what Hell's like?" Thomas chuckled and said "Not exactly, Viper."
