Oliver stared behind the trees where he thought he had seen some movement, but stopped upon hearing a noise due to the volcano that erupted.
"I hope I'm not in the place where Brogy and Dorry fight"
Right then he heard a gunshot, so he dodged and took cover behind a tree.
"I really do have company"
He saw a somewhat tall man come out from among the trees wearing brown pants and an open shirt, but what stood out the most was his wide smile.
'I don't know this one. Is it a new change or did he already exist? Whoever he is, he has to be with Baroque Works if he is on this island' Oliver thought.
"Where did he go?" The smiling man asked.
"I told you to wait until he was close" A woman told him.
A woman in brown pants, a short shirt with a bandana around her neck, and an animal-shaped hood. And on her back, she carried a katana.
"Now we have to find him before Mr. 3 asks us where he is" The woman said, a bit scared.
"Shut up, don't remind me" The man said, equally scared.
Oliver listened to the conversation between the two, which gave him an idea of who they were.
'They must be part of the Frontier Agents. There are some who were only named and never appeared' Oliver thought, seeing the Baroque Works tattoo on both of them.
The woman checked behind the tree, but Oliver had already climbed it and moved to another to observe them better.
'Wait a minute... Why am I worrying about them? It's just the two of them and they don't seem very strong' Oliver thought with a smile. "Hey, idiots!"
The two agents looked up where Oliver took out the remains of the snake from his inventory, with which he crushed them both instantly.
[Remaining: 8/21]
"They really were from Baroque Works, and they've already been defeated?"
He lifted the snake a little and both were indeed knocked out, so he let go of the snake, leaving both underneath it.
"What number could these idiots have been? Maybe I should have left someone awake to ask how many more are here"
He heard the sound of a struggle again, which meant Brogy and Dorry were fighting.
"I think it's time for me to start moving"
He kept walking through the jungle while he continued to hear the sounds of fighting, so he just kept going, knowing that nothing would happen until the second fight between the giants.
The deeper he went, he thought he saw something white, so he moved carefully until he got closer, seeing that it was a white wax cube.
"Isn't this Mr. 3's hideout? Could he be around here?"
He approached carefully, checking through the window where there was no one inside.
"I thought I was going to have to fight now. I don't think I'm capable of breaking through this wax" Oliver said, entering through the window.
As soon as he entered he heard a squeak, so he immediately got into a fighting stance, but there was no one.
'Could it be some animal?'
He moved carefully until he saw a small grate behind a piece of furniture, so he got closer, moving the furniture, where what he saw was...
"A... butt?" Oliver said, seeing a butt in tight shorts.
A small squeak was heard from inside, followed by a dull thud.
"I-I already said I won't do it... even if you torture me" The person inside said, moving her hips from side to side.
"Torture? I think you are confusing me with someone else. I have nothing to do with this" Oliver said.
"Eh? You are not with Baroque Works?" The girl inside asked him.
"Not at all" Oliver said, scratching his cheek, trying not to look at her too much.
"…Ah. Then everything is fine," she said with total calmness. "Can you get me out of here?"
'What the hell is wrong with this woman? How can she believe I'm not part of them just by me saying so?' Oliver thought.
"I'll try to free you right away"
He checked, seeing that it had a lock, but looking around the place, it seemed unlikely there would be a key lying around.
"Maybe Mr. 3 uses his Devil Fruit to make a key..."
He looked back at the wax bars, then at his own hands, and an idea occurred to him, so he grabbed them tightly.
"I'm sorry if you feel a little electricity" Oliver said, apologizing.
"What?"
Activating his Electro, the heat slowly began to melt the wax.
"Ouch… ouch… What are you doing back there?" the girl complained, feeling a pain in her butt.
"Get ready to come out of there"
When the wax weakened enough, Oliver grabbed her by the shorts and pulled her backwards quickly to prevent her from burning, but causing her to fall directly onto Oliver's face.
"That was a bit rough… but thanks for getting me out," the girl said with complete calm, looking around. "Where are you?"
"Mmm… mmm…"
Oliver tried to speak, but it was impossible for him in that position.
"Oh… I'm sorry. I didn't realize."
She stood up slowly, giving him space to breathe.
"No problem…" Oliver replied, taking a breath. "It was still a… curious… experience…" he muttered at the end.
Oliver stood up slowly, still catching his breath, while covering his face with his hand to calm himself down.
"Definitely… this wasn't how I thought this was going to end."
"Hmm…" the girl observed him for a few seconds, tilting her head slightly to smile. "Yeah, it was weird. But it worked, so I guess it counts as a success."
'I feel like... I've seen her somewhere else'
"Where could my things be" Elegg said, searching among the things that were there.
Oliver looked at her out of the corner of his eye while she started looking for something.
Light blonde hair, short, reaching her neck, a long bang covering her eyes. Her body was quite voluptuous and curvy, plus a bit plump. Wearing a crop top that leaves her midriff exposed. Underneath she wears a visible black sports bra accompanied by straps that cross her torso. And very, very short shorts.
"I almost forgot"
The woman turned around, making Oliver cough and pretend he hadn't seen anything.
"I'm Elegg. Nice to meet you" She said with a smile, continuing to search among everything in the place.
"I'm Oliver"
Oliver stayed thinking for a moment as if a spark had lit up in his head.
'Blonde hair, you can't see her eyes, those shorts and that butt... IS SHE ELEGG?! But she's from Nikke, she has nothing to do with One Piece'
[Surprise]
[A little gift for your eyes :D]
'Damn bastard!' Oliver thought, clenching his fist in anger.
"Where are you? Where are you? Here it is! My precious Boom" Elegg said, grabbing a console.
'Did he add someone else just for fun?!'

The scene with Elegg was something I tried to do a bit inspired by how the game Nikke is, which I'm sure you all know what it's like, so I tried to make something along those lines, although it was only a test. I might do more scenes like that, but it'll only stay at that level.
