One Piece: Grand Harem Adventures

The sun dipped below the horizon, the girls started to gather around the dining room. Ben sat down. He saw Kaya, Vivi, Marianne, Conis, Raki, Maya, NT, Honey, Nojiko, Saphir, Mikita, Zala, Alvida, Robin, Kalifa, Hina and Tashigi, Emeraude and Rubis. 

"Okay, is everyone here?" Ben began. He thought some girls were missing. 

"HQ, PR are working to create the Heal Drinks my emperor," NT responded "Cherry got tired so Ivy took her to bed. They both fell asleep," NT added. 

"I heard she was in Lexie and blasting everyone," Zala remarked. 

"My love is training the next generation," Alvida said. 

Ben cleared his throat. He wondered what Alvida could have meant. She is dangerous. "We should have left her back," Ben remarked. 

"No she likes it here," Marianne responded. 

"She is having fun," Vivi said. 

"Let her stay Captain," Maya added. 

Robin smiled. "She could walk the plank," Robin said, sipping her tea, winking her eyes.

"She is joking, she can stay," Ben stated. He thought that was getting out of hand. He thought there was passion for each one. 

"Okay, so is everyone alright?" Ben asked as he scanned the group.

"We should be the ones asking you that," Emeraude replied, crossing her arms with a faint glare. Her expression reflected both worry and irritation.

"Foolish to take on Whitebeard alone," Rubis added bluntly, her tone sharp.

"What!" Vivi exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock. The group collectively froze, their expressions darkening.

"You're stupid," Tashigi scolded, her voice trembling as her heart sank. She thought he could have been hurt or killed. She could feel herself worrying. 

"Hina thinks you need a new brain," Hina added, her normally composed tone tinged with frustration.

Ben raised his hands defensively. "I'm okay. I just wanted to see how strong he was... and trust me, he's strong," he replied. He thought they were mad. "I am sorry for worrying you all but I had to know and I had the Heal Drinks," he added, trying to justify his actions. 

"But we'll beat him," Saphir interjected confidently. 

Rubis and Emeraude smiled. "You're always enthusiastic," Rubis remarked. 

Ben nodded. "It won't be easy," he admitted. A moment of silence hung in the air, tension thick among them.

"I know we can do it," Vivi said firmly, breaking the quiet. "Together, we'll win," she added. 

"Yes, we can," Kaya chimed in as she smiled at Vivi. 

"Yes, Princess," Nojiko teased with a playful smirk, earning a round of lighthearted laughter from the group.

"Princess is right," Alvida stated. 

The mood lifted slightly, but Raki quickly brought them back to the moment. "So, Ben, are we going after Whitebeard first?" she asked. 

Ben shook his head. "No. We'll face Phantasm Ace first," he responded.

"Luffy's brother," Vivi said. 

"He seemed strong," Kaya added. 

"He is. But this fight isn't just about strength. It's about strategy, teamwork, and trust. If we work together, there's nothing we can't overcome," Ben stated. 

They all smiled.

"Anyone have anything to report?" Ben asked. 

"Popora has been kidnapped," Marianne responded. She looked a little sad. 

"We tried to save him," Conis added. She felt disappointed in herself. 

"They got him while we were fighting," Mikita said. She was mad that he was taken. 

"I think he will be fine," Ben responded. "I think they need him for something," he added. 

"I think so as well, they could have killed him there," Robin remarked. 

"Then we have a chance to save him?" Honey asked. 

"Yes, we do," Ben responded. They all nodded. 

"We also have got clothes," Zala remarked. 

"We should show them off," Robin remarked. The other girls smiled and nervous. 

"My love, can we have a special party," Alvida asked.

Ben thought that was a good idea. However, was it a trap. "Okay," Ben responded. 

"Pervert," Kaya remarked. 

"Sexual harassment," Kalifa, said touching her glasses. 

They all giggled. Ben sighed. 

"We also got the Rumble Ball Variant Blueprints," Honey said. 

"Rumble Ball Variant?" Ben asked. 

[The Rumble Ball Variant is an enhanced version of the original Rumble Ball, a specialised drug that temporarily alters a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user's transformations. Unlike the standard Rumble Ball, which disrupts the fruit's natural transformation sequence, the Variant is tailored for stronger, more refined effects without any side effects. It extends the duration of additional forms and grants unique hybrid transformations beyond the usual three stages.]

(Thank you Sweetie. You are the best)

Ben thought this was a very powerful tool. Chopper could use change into extra forms. They have zoans, mythical zoans. He smiled. Ben explained to the group. Their faces looked in shock and delight. 

"So I could have another form?" Kaya asked. 

"It could be like Ben`s beast form," Nojiko teased. Kaya thought of her next to Ben, in a female titan form. She thought about it and looked at Ben. Her face was red as she smiled. 

"That applies to Vivi as well," Kalifa said, touching her glasses. 

"She will have the entire world bow to her," Zala remarked. 

They all giggled. Vivi thought of Ben`s form and blushed. Her heart beat skipped a beat. 

"Three large Demons," Robin remarked. She smiled at them.

"Conis can change into more variants of the Phoenix," Mikita said. 

"Yes, you might be able to make the fire even stronger," Ben said.

"It will be like a natural disaster burning everyone to death," Robin said as she sipped her tea. 

Conis thought can she do that. She thought if she was stronger she could kill people like that. She thought of Enel doing that. 

"Conis is not that kind of girl," Ben responded. "She has a kind, gentle heart," he added. Ben smiled at her. Conis smiled back.

"Raki might be even more terrifying with more forms, if she can go into the other forms," Zala remarked. 

"I think she is beautiful," Marianne said. 

Raki smiled. "I only need your opinion Marianne," Raki responded. She did think, she could get stronger. She was reliant on her stone powers and if they did not work she was useless. 

"Are you sure that is not my love?" Alvida teased. 

"Maybe," Raki said. 

"Does Maya not have a zoan as well?" Saphir asked. 

"Yeah she does," Vivi responded. 

"I do," Maya responded. 

"I wonder what she can turn into," Nojiko asked. 

"Either way it will be awesome," Ben said, smiling at Maya. He thought Roc, a giant bird, will have many forms. 

"Speaking of awesome love," Alvida said. "It is Captain duties," she added. 

Ben nodded. "Okay," he replied. He noticed how casually she said it. The other girls looked unphased. 

"Go on Maya," Kalifa said. 

"Ben," Maya said. 

Ben smiled. "Okay," he replied as he gently held her hand.
