One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 108: Machi Arrives, Chrollo’s Screening!

Chapter 108: Machi Arrives, Chrollo's Screening!

After returning to Mont Blanc's residence, Ryuunosuke placed Ace onto another boat to rest.

What kind of battle did Ace have with Blackbeard?

A few hours earlier...

Ace had just arrived in Valley Town.

It had to be said—this place was a mess.

Of course, that was from a normal person's point of view. For Ace, who had traveled all over the New World, this kind of chaos was child's play.

He didn't think much of it and casually strolled through the streets.

Before long, the local snacks caught his attention.

While still searching for Blackbeard, he couldn't help but grab a few bites.

"Cherry pie!"

"I'll take all of these."

"Zhahaha..."

Just as Ace was about to continue his search, he heard a familiar laugh in the distance.

His eyes narrowed. Dropping the food he had just bought, he dashed toward the voice.

Blackbeard, relying on his strong Observation Haki, immediately sensed Ace approaching—and was shocked.

Ace was supposed to be with Ryuunosuke!

Blackbeard wanted nothing to do with that monster pirate who could go toe-to-toe with admirals and Garp alike.

Hugging the cherry pie tightly, he bolted.

That was how the two of them ended up fighting on the outskirts of the island.

To prevent Blackbeard from running away again, Ace immediately unleashed a barrage of flames the moment they arrived.

This was also why Akame couldn't find Ace in the town or nearby—he had moved to the edge of the island.

The fight itself was fairly straightforward.

Blackbeard started by pretending to be weak, making Ace underestimate him.

Ace even thought Ryuunosuke had exaggerated Blackbeard's strength.

But just as Ace got close, Blackbeard caught him off guard with the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

What followed was a brutal hand-to-hand brawl.

Ace, despite his strength, was no match for Blackbeard when it came to pure physical combat.

He was beaten until he was dazed and barely conscious.

Of course, thanks to Ace's flame-powered punches, Blackbeard didn't walk away unscathed either. The pain he experienced was immense due to his unique body.

That was why, by the time Ryuunosuke arrived, both men were lying on the ground—panting, bruised, and barely able to move.

Back in the present...

Ryuunosuke pulled out a vial containing a drop of life essence.

He hesitated.

Truthfully, he was reluctant to use it on Mont. After all, this man was just a business partner.

Ryuunosuke wasn't Luffy. He didn't give things away out of pure goodwill.

Still, he carefully dropped the essence into Ace's mouth.

A wave of life energy surged from Ace's body, overflowing into the room.

Even Mont, still asleep nearby, subconsciously absorbed some of the excess.

"Let him rest for a while," Ryuunosuke said as he stood up. "We'll talk when he wakes."

He stepped outside, where several crewmates were waiting.

"He's fine. Just got beat up a little."

"Keep training. Strength is our only law on the sea."

Clapping his hands, Ryuunosuke moved aside to spar with Najenda.

The rest of the crew resumed their tasks, following his lead.

The next day, around noon...

"Captain!"

Machi appeared, her eyes scanning the area with concern.

"Is everyone okay?" she asked.

"I mean, if you called me over in such a hurry, someone had to be seriously hurt, right?"

"No one in the crew's injured," Ryuunosuke replied. "Ace and a guest got a little roughed up. They're inside."

Just as he finished speaking, Ace—now fully recovered thanks to the life essence—stumbled out of the house yawning.

He looked around, confused to see so many people gathered.

"Don't mind him," Ryuunosuke sighed. "Machi, go check on Mr. Mont."

"Understood, Captain." Machi nodded and headed into the house without another glance at Ace.

If the captain said to ignore it, she would.

"Captain," Chrollo stepped forward, "do you need my help?"

Ryuunosuke gave him a brief rundown of the current situation.

"Sky Island?" Chrollo's eyes lit up. "There's treasure there?"

The excitement on his face reminded Ryuunosuke of Nami.

Yep, treasure hunters never change.

"Come with us," Ryuunosuke said. "You're coming to Sky Island too."

"Yes, Captain. So... what's next? More training?"

Chrollo looked over at Hawkins and Roelki, who were completely exhausted. Meanwhile, a group of handymen were still desperately trying to keep up.

He tilted his head in confusion.

"What's the plan here?"

"I was about to explain," Ryuunosuke said, then briefed him on the situation with the handymen.

"Captain, leave that part to me," Chrollo offered with a smile.

Seeing the state Hawkins and Roelki were in, Ryuunosuke nodded.

Chrollo walked over to the two and said a few words. They thanked him, then limped over to the grass and collapsed.

They had trained, fought, and now had to screen thousands of recruits—it was no wonder they were half-dead.

The screening process turned out to be much harder than anyone had expected.

And then—

"Kill!"

Chrollo's voice boomed, filled with murderous intent.

A wave of invisible pressure exploded from him, sweeping through the crowd of over a thousand handymen.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

People dropped like flies.

When the dust settled, only eleven remained standing.

"You're going to regret not fainting when you had the chance," Chrollo said coldly.

"Next—"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before he could finish, nine more fainted.

Only two remained, standing awkwardly with blank expressions.

It wasn't that they didn't want to faint—they just couldn't.

They were terrified, but they had trained near the crew long enough to resist this kind of pressure.

Now they were starting to regret their dedication...

"All right, Captain," Chrollo said, turning back. "These two are qualified."

"Oh, and these four are spies planted by someone. No idea who brought them onboard."

He casually used telepathy to drag four unconscious bodies forward.

Ryuunosuke raised an eyebrow.

"Chrollo... You brought all of them."

Kuroro blinked and smiled innocently.

Ryuunosuke couldn't help but laugh.

He turned to the two remaining handymen.

"What are your names?"

The two straightened up.

"Great and respected Captain, I'm Gunado!"

"Great and respected Captain, I'm Urzi!"

"You're now official members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates," Ryuunosuke declared.

"You'll be the captains of the Third and Fourth Divisions Handymen."

Their faces lit up with excitement.

But the joy didn't last long.

A wave of unfamiliar energy surged into their bodies.

Their expressions twisted in confusion and panic as the transformation began.
