Screen 1 — Ben Reads "Road"
The massive figure leans closer, voice echoing through the chamber.
"My real name is Road… and I love you as my toy. But you are too strong."
The words hang in the air.
---
Ben, still in Big Chill (Ultimate), doesn't react emotionally.
He analyzes.
Ben:
"…Toy."
He glances around the environment again:
mirror wall
modular, perfect structures
controlled zones
oversized scale
Everything clicks.
---
Ben looks back up at the figure.
Ben:
"You're not a 'god.'"
A pause.
Ben:
"You're the owner."
Zoro side-eyes him.
Roronoa Zoro:
"…Owner?"
Ben nods slightly.
Ben:
"This whole place is a contained space. A cage."
He points upward.
Ben:
"And we're inside it."
---
Ben continues, calm but sharp.
Ben:
"You called us toys. That means you brought us here on purpose."
He narrows his eyes.
Ben:
"Not to destroy us… to keep us."
Luffy tilts his head.
Monkey D. Luffy:
"He wants to play?"
Ben doesn't smile.
Ben:
"…Something like that."
---
Ben (quietly):
"…Then we're breaking out."
Screen 2 — Ben's Reaction: "Not Impressive"
The massive figure of Road reaches forward, trying to grab the crew.
For a moment, it looks like they're trapped again—
Then a massive thunderbolt crashes down, striking the giant directly.
The entire structure shakes.
Road staggers.
---
In that instant, Big Chill drops his Ultimate form.
Green light flashes.
Ben returns to normal form, landing lightly beside the crew.
He watches Road closely.
No fear.
Just evaluation.
---
Monkey D. Luffy doesn't hesitate.
He activates Gear 4.
Luffy:
"Let's go!"
With a powerful strike, he smashes through the giant's wall.
The barrier shatters.
A real opening.
Freedom.
---
Ben glances back at Road one more time.
Road, who called them "toys," is now struggling from a single thunder strike.
Ben's expression doesn't change.
Ben:
"…So that's it?"
Zoro looks at him.
Roronoa Zoro:
"What?"
Ben turns away, unimpressed.
Ben:
"For someone calling himself a 'god'… he's pretty weak."
---
He starts moving toward the exit with the others.
Ben:
"Just a guy with control over a space."
Sanji exhales.
Sanji:
"Still annoying."
---
Ben (quietly):
"…Wrong people to call toys."
