Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Master Torre, you've been researching for quite a while now," Luo laughed.

"After all, I'm a scientist."

Usopp asked with a grin, "Tregear, what kind of good stuff have you been researching?"

"Let's wait a bit, it's not finished yet." Torregia took a sip of tea.

“But speaking of which, this library really has a lot of things,” Usopp laughed. “Especially Mr. Leo, who never gives up no matter what difficulties he encounters, is so cool.”

Franky struck his classic pose and exclaimed, "Ultraman Tiga is so cool! Super!"

Zoro said, "I prefer Ultraman Victory. I see he's a dual-wielder and a swordsman. I'd really like to have a match with him if I had the chance."

After hearing this, Tregear smiled and said, "Every Ultraman is amazing, with their own unique characteristics and their own brilliance."

Robin smiled kindly and said, "You and Belial have your own unique characteristics too."

"what?"

"You two might be the only two Ultramen who become pirates."

Toregia paused for a moment after hearing this, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's right, hahahaha."

The others laughed along with them.

Then everyone started chatting, about Ultraman stories, battles, funny anecdotes, and so on, until nightfall.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should get some rest," Torregia said. "I'm heading back now."

"it is good."

After Tregear left, the group decided to chat some more. Zoro felt a bit sleepy and, led by Hal, spent five minutes returning to his room.

At that moment, Kin'emon found a dark-colored disk, and everyone asked, "What is this?"

"They look like hard drives."

"There seems to be something written on it?"

Kin'emon took a closer look and saw that it read: Collection of Horror Stories.

"A horror story?" Usopp asked, sounding a little scared.

"Usopp, you're not scared, are you?" Franky asked, fiddling with his hair.

"How, how is this possible!" Usopp said, trying to suppress his trembling legs. "I'm a man, I'm not afraid!" He then took out a weapon and left.

"It's just a story, why would I be afraid?"

"I'll make one too."

"give me one."

"I'll have one too." The group chuckled and each took a horror story home, completely unaware that they would soon be enveloped in fear.

……

Meanwhile, in Tregear's room, Tregear was using his terminal to analyze information about the Straw Hat Pirates, including Law, in order to develop corresponding equipment.

"Knock knock." Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"who is it?"

"It's me," Robin's voice came from outside the door.

"It's so late, does Robin want to see me about something?" Tregear wondered, and told Hal to open the door.

The door opened, and Robin walked in wearing a pink nightgown.

Tregear noticed that something was wrong with Robin. Although Robin was still smiling, her brows were slightly furrowed, her face was a little pale, and she seemed to be sweating.

"Robin, what's wrong with you?"

“It’s nothing,” Robin said. “Tregear, are you scared?”

"Huh?" Torregia was a little confused upon hearing this. "Afraid? Afraid of what?"

But Robin didn't answer. Instead, she said, "If you're scared, I can stay with you for a while."

"I'm not afraid, and what am I afraid of?"

"I'll sit here for a while," Robin said with a smile, sitting down next to Tregear.

Seeing Robin's strange behavior, Tregear had many questions: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Robin said, "Can you tell me what you've been researching?"

After listening, Torregia said, "Well, I've analyzed your physical data."

"I'm using equipment enhancement or weapon manufacturing. For Franky, I'm preparing equipment enhancement, upgrading his body and 'General Franky'."

"Usopp, I'm going to build some sniping equipment."

"I'm going to make some exoskeletons for you and Nami, something like armor, to protect your safety."

"Zoro is strong with any sword, but he has a deep attachment to his sword, so I don't plan to make a sword for him. I'm also planning to make an exoskeleton for him."

"Sanji, like Zoro, is also planning to make an exoskeleton suit, since they both engage in high-intensity close combat."

"Luffy, after thinking about it for a moment, I think we should forget about it. Giving Luffy any equipment might easily lead to trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tregear suddenly felt something draped over his shoulder. He turned around and found Robin asleep against him.

"This……"

This was the first time Tregear had ever seen Robin like this. Her face was as cute as a child's when she was asleep, with her fair skin, her black hair spread out, and a few strands floating in front of her as she snored softly.

Feeling Robin's breath, Tregear was silent for a few seconds, then picked her up and went out, saying as they walked, "She said she was going to listen to a research report, but she just fell asleep. What's wrong with her?"

Tregear carried Robin to Robin's room and asked Ai to open the door. Tregear carried Robin inside and discovered that the monitor on Robin's desk read: "Midnight Ring".

"Hmm—, I think I understand." Torregia smiled.

He then carried Robin out of the room and back to his own room. After making sure Robin was completely asleep, he returned to the laboratory to continue his research.

At the same time, Luo was holding the Ghost Cry, his hands trembling, his face filled with fear as he picked at something that looked like hair, only to find that it was actually a towel.

"You scared me! I thought it was Kayako."

On the other side, Usopp, who had just finished watching "The Shining," and Franky, who had just finished watching "The Conjuring," were together, one holding a slingshot and the other holding a cannon barrel, looking around.

Usopp's butler, Deathmask, was almost killed by Usopp as a ghost, but Franky stopped him.

Kin'emon and Kanjuro are caring for Momonosuke, who is so frightened by watching "The Black Tower" that he loses control of his bladder.

The next day, Zoro went out for a walk and found Law and the others sitting on the sofa with dark circles under their eyes, looking haggard.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Zoro asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that we were a little too excited last night," the group said somewhat guiltily.

Where is Robin?

"I'm here." As he spoke, Robin, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, strode over.

"Robin, where did you go?" Usopp asked. "I knocked on the door just now, but you weren't there."

Robin was taken aback. He recalled how he had been scared the night before after watching "The Ring," and how he had pretended to ask for research information to find Tregear, but had unknowingly fallen asleep.

When Robin opened her eyes in the morning, she found that Tregear was already gone. Only then did Robin realize that she had slept in Tregear's bed all night.

Thinking of this, Robin's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "It's nothing, I just went for a walk."

At that moment, Torregia's voice came over the loudspeaker on the Atedis: "Good morning, everyone. The weather is fine and sunny today. The radar has detected a large island nearby. We're going to take a walk there and go out for a stroll to relax."

"That sounds like a good idea."

"Yes, yes, let's go for a walk."

After everyone finished speaking, they packed their things and then walked together down the corridor, where they met Torregia, who was waiting for them with a smile on his face.

The group went up to the deck and looked at the calm sea and the blue sky. Although they were all veteran pirates, they were still captivated by the sight whenever they saw it.

Torregia deliberately set up a camouflage system around the Atedis, so that to outsiders the Atedis was just an ordinary wooden ship.

The group docked at the island's shore, and after going ashore, Torregia remotely controlled the Atedis to submerge into the water.

As the remaining group moved forward, a seagull flew overhead.

Meanwhile, at the Marine Headquarters in the center of the island, a soldier looked at the screen in front of him and said into the walkie-talkie, "Sir, it's definitely Nico Robin from the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Is that so? That's good." A man on the other end of the walkie-talkie smiled, looking at Robin's wanted poster, and said with a laugh, "Bring her here!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, the man looked at Robin's wanted poster and smiled wickedly, "Nicole Robin, we'll be meeting again soon. You were lucky back then, but this time you won't get away."

……

The group had a picnic on the shore, enjoying drinks and conversation. Tregear also shared some interesting stories from the Ultraman world, such as Leo's painful training and Ultraman Jack's face blindness.

When Tregear asked them what they had done the night before, everyone's expression changed. Robin stood up, walked over to a pile of sticks, and said, "I'll go find some wood to start a fire."

“I’ll go check the area; there’s nothing dangerous there,” Luo said seriously. “I’ll go too.”

As the others gradually left, only Tregear and Zoro remained, looking bewildered.

"What's going on with these guys?" Zoro asked, puzzled.

Torregia recalled the Ring in Robin's room yesterday and said with a smile, "It's nothing, they probably just want to stretch their legs."

Robin went for a walk, and Momonosuke followed closely behind. He said pitifully, "Robin-neechan, I'm scared."

Robin smiled kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Robin held Momonosuke's hand, and Momonosuke suddenly noticed what looked like fruit trees ahead, and ran over excitedly.

"Peach, be careful, don't fall."

"Understood." Just as Momonosuke was about to run to the fruit tree, several dark figures suddenly flew out of the bushes beside him.

Before Momonosuke could react, he was grabbed by several men.

"Peach!" Robin cried out in terror. Robin then realized that these people were Marines.

"Navy, what are you doing here?" Robin then composed herself and said, "Are you here to see me?"

“Smart,” the leader said. “Come with us obediently, or this brat’s life will be in danger.”

Robin frowned and said, "Has the Navy really sunk to the point of using children as leverage?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You, a son of a demon, have no right to talk to us."

"Hmph, you lot might not be able to succeed." Robin said, crossing his arms. "Double Wheel Flower, Gallows!"

Several men sprouted new arms that snapped their bones. The men immediately lost consciousness.

“Pathetic,” Robin said coldly.

However, just then, a man crushed a bottle before passing out. The bottle released a large amount of green gas.

Robin then realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to move, he felt weak, then his consciousness blurred and he lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.

A navy officer watching from a distance exclaimed, "Success!" "Move!" "Yes, sir!"

A dozen or so masked marines surrounded Robin, Momonosuke, and the other marines.

Several marines carried away the unconscious marines, and two marines handcuffed Robin with sea stone handcuffs and took her and Momonosuke away together.

……

"Drip!"

Torregia, who was on the shore, suddenly received an alarm. He looked up and his expression changed drastically.

"Robin is in trouble!"

"What!" Upon hearing this, Zoro couldn't sit still any longer and got up to leave.

"Wait!" Torregia shouted.

"what happened?"

"Robin and Momonosuke are over there," Tregear said, pointing in the opposite direction from where Zoro had gone.

"Uh."

"Never mind that for now." Tregear flashed blue light, transformed into Ultraman form, and took off.

"Wait here for a bit. I'll call Law and the others to come find you, and then you can all come together." After saying this, Tregear quickly disappeared from Zoro's sight.

Tregear flew rapidly towards Robin and Momonosuke, while simultaneously sending a message to Law and the others.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

A series of explosions rang out, and more than a dozen shells flew towards Toregia in the sky.

Torregia raised his hand and released a protective shield. The shells hit Torregia's protective shield, exploding into a cloud of dust.

After deflecting the cannonball, Torregia retracted the protective shield and looked at the armed navy on the ground, understanding the situation.

"Is it the navy?"
