Chapter 27 - Chapter 1 verity first time meeting

Screen 1

The Mysterious Box

​Following the raid, the timeline shifted, realigning itself with Luffy's original path. He was trekking through the forest, having just finished his final piece of meat, when he stumbled upon a strange, mysterious box sitting in the clearing.

​Curious, Luffy approached the box and pried it open. Inside sat a glowing yellow circle. Suddenly, a voice emanated from it.

​"Hi, I'm Verity, your personal helper friend. Ask me anything. I know everything."

​Luffy's eyes widened. He leaned in, pointing a finger at the object. "Hey, Verity! How much meat have I eaten today?"

​The device flickered. "You have consumed 200 portions of meat today, Luffy."

​Luffy's jaw dropped, his eyes bulging in absolute shock at the sheer number

Screen 2

​Luffy tucked the mysterious yellow circle into his pocket and headed toward the village, with the chef's home as his destination. Upon arriving, he found the village chef busy chopping wood. Luffy excitedly pulled out the device to show him.

​"Look at this, Chef!" Luffy shouted, holding it up.

​The village chef dropped his axe, staring at the object with wide eyes. "What in the world is that circle? I've never seen anything like it!"

​Before Luffy could answer, the device flickered to life. "Hi, Village Chef," Verity chirped.

​The chef jumped back, stunned. "How… how do you know my name?"

​"I know everything," Verity replied calmly.

​Just then, Zoro walked into the clearing, sheathing his swords and looking annoyed. "I still don't get it," he grumbled. "How do I keep getting lost?"

​Verity's light pulsed as she addressed him immediately. "Actually, Zoro, this is the 800th time you have arrived in this world."

Screen 3

​Zoro narrowed his eyes, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "How could you possibly know that? Who are you?"

​"I know everything," Verity repeated, her voice steady and unbothered.

​Zoro scowled, clearly frustrated. "That's not an explanation! I don't like things that don't explain themselves."

​He turned his gaze toward the entities Luffy's hand, his expression darkening. "Luffy, you need to get rid of that thing. It's bad news—take that circle box back to the village, or better yet, dump it where the raid happened."

​Luffy just laughed, holding the device tighter. "But she's useful, Zoro! She can tell us all sorts of stuff!"

​Irritated by Luffy's stubbornness, Zoro didn't hesitate. He swung his arm and landed a sharp, comedic punch right on top of Luffy's

head
