Makoto and his group arrived at the place where Luffy and his crew went to Skypiea in the original work—
Jaya Island.
The shape of this island was very strange.
If viewed from above, it had a crescent moon outline, like a cookie that had been bitten into.
But in reality, this was because, hundreds of years ago, a massive Knock Up Stream in these waters had blasted part of Jaya Island up to an altitude of ten thousand meters, which then became the well-known Skypiea.
At Jaya Island, Makoto and his group were reunited with Yu, the Four Gay Bros, and the others after ten years apart.
Compared to before, Yu's face looked more mature, or rather 'weathered'.
But upon seeing Makoto, he was still very excited, quickly stepping forward and giving him a big hug.
"Senpai!"
Makoto patted his back, then pushed him away.
"Alright, alright. You're a grown man now, don't cry."
Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Makoto subsequently shook hands and patted the shoulders of the Four Gay Bros.
Oh, by the way, they had all taken a bath before meeting Makoto… strictly required by Yu.
"Comm... Commander Nishikawa..."
When facing Makoto, Miyuki was still somewhat nervous.
"Long time no see. I heard you've been performing well under Ishigami."
Makoto smiled.
Miyuki's main training direction was the Rokushiki of the Marine.
Back when he captured the Roger Pirates, Makoto had demanded the Magma-Magma Fruit, the Shodai Kitetsu, and the training methods for the Rokushiki from the Marine as part of the transaction.
However, in the end, he only received the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Shodai Kitetsu.
Later, because he had recruited the Rocks Pirates as gold-medal teachers to teach his wives, the Rokushiki were no longer needed.
After Miyuki started following Yu, he frequently engaged in battles with the Marine.
By chance, he obtained the training manual for the Rokushiki and focused on training in that direction.
"You flatter me. I'm just barely managing not to hold everyone back."
Miyuki was very humble.
During his call with his sister Kei, he had learned that after his first fight with Byrnndi World eight years ago, he had been severely injured, and Yu had been ready to abandon him.
If not for a single word from Makoto, he would be dead by now.
"Talk to Kei-chan for a while. You siblings haven't seen each other in a long time."
Makoto waved his hand and sat back down on his recliner.
He made a gesture to Kaguya: "Kaguya-chan, pour me a cup of tea."
Kaguya understood and quickly poured Makoto a cup of black tea she had brewed herself.
She was quite confident in her tea-making skills.
For some reason, Makoto quite liked getting close to the female characters in front of the original male protagonists.
Even though Miyuki and Kaguya probably hadn't exchanged a single word because of his arrival, Makoto instinctively wanted to order Kaguya around in front of Miyuki.
Sigh, he felt this wasn't a very good habit.
He needed to change. Needed to change.
"Commander, here you go."
Kaguya poured the tea and handed it to Makoto.
"I'm a bit tired. Can you feed me?"
Makoto stretched and said.
Kaguya's face turned bright red in an instant.
A few seconds later, she looked at the tea in her hand, was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind.
She pressed her crimson lips to the rim, took a small sip, then put on a look as if she were going to her death, and pressed them to Makoto's lips.
Ai, Chika, Nao, and the others behind her were dumbfounded.
Fujiwara Chika looked incredulous. "Kaguya-chan is that brave?"
Even Makoto was stunned.
When Kaguya, her face bright red, moved her lips away, Makoto said with a strange expression, "I just meant for you to bring the cup to my mouth."
Kaguya's hand went limp, and the teacup shattered on the floor with a 'smack'.
"B-but... isn't that how Secretary Fujiwara does it with you?"
Yeah, that's right. Every time Chika brought Makoto water, she used this method to feed him.
Kaguya had witnessed this scene countless times over the years.
And she felt this was already the tame version.
Damn, she had once seen an even more perverse game her best friend played—
Makoto asked Chika to get him a glass of water. Her best friend reached directly into her skirt, took off her panties, then sat on Makoto's face and told him to drink directly...
Makoto said speechlessly, "That's because she's my wife. You can use the normal method."
Kaguya was so embarrassed she turned and ran back to her room.
Komachi looked around the crowd for a while and finally found that familiar figure.
"Onii-chan!"
She quickly ran over and slapped Hachiman hard on the back.
Hachiman winced and turned around.
"Ten years no see, and this is how you treat me?"
"Hehe, isn't this how we used to say hello?"
Komachi lowered her hand and looked her brother up and down.
Ten years apart, Hachiman's face had matured considerably, with some stubble on his chin, but he still had the same dead fish eyes.
Standing beside him was Totsuka Saika, who looked even more feminine.
Not far away, Kei also finally found her brother.
"Nii, you've changed quite a bit."
Kei came to her brother's side and said. Her address for Miyuki was still the same as ten years ago.
"If I hadn't changed, I'd be dead."
Miyuki smiled bitterly.
Although he was under Yu, Yu actually didn't care whether his underlings lived or died.
It was different for Devils like the Four Gay Bros, who could regenerate infinitely.
He really could die in his hands if he wasn't careful.
"On the other hand, Kei-chan, besides becoming more beautiful, you haven't changed much."
Miyuki teased.
He wasn't wrong at all.
Although Kei was now also past twenty-five, compared to the junior high girl she was ten years ago, she didn't seem much different.
A big reason was that, being under Makoto's protection, she rarely faced great danger.
People who haven't experienced setbacks, no matter how old they get, their personalities don't change much.
And through previous conversations with his sister, Miyuki also knew that she was now one of the 'Mrs. Nishikawas'.
But he was quite pleased about this. After all, in this kind of dog-eat-dog world, having such a protective umbrella was all benefit and no harm.
Kei looked adoringly at Makoto's back.
Although initially giving her body was mostly out of gratitude, as time passed, Kei had also come to give her heart to Makoto.
It must be said, a woman's emotions do follow her body.
"But you still can't slack off on your training."
Miyuki continued.
"After all, you know, not every Reincarnation Game involves the same fixed group of people. I heard that Kasumigaoka-senpai's parents were selected before, but they didn't come this time. Maybe in the future, you'll be selected by a new round of the game, but the Commander won't be coming with you. Then you'll have to rely on yourselves. If that happens..."
"Aaaahhhh! Useless! Stop talking!"
Kei covered her ears and screamed.
She had hated her brother's nagging, lecturing style the most before, and had thought he had changed quite a bit.
She didn't expect that after ten years, he still had that habit.
Miyuki looked at his sister helplessly.
However, neither he nor Kei, nor the other female players around them, realized at this moment that Miyuki's words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Subsequently, Makoto and his group stayed on Jaya Island for some time, mainly waiting for Beam to arrive.
Over the years, besides training in Fish-Man Karate on Fish-Man Island, Beam spent most of his time swimming around the world, helping Makoto search for the large lantern fish that had swallowed the Pure Gold.
After hearing that Yu and the others had all returned to Makoto's side, Beam couldn't take it anymore… Damn, you're sneaking off without me, aren't you?
Finally, after all the players had reunited after ten years, Makoto and his group officially headed to Skypiea.
And with the return of male players like Yu and Miyuki, the girls naturally couldn't dress as lightly as before.
But fortunately, Yu and the others were quite self-aware and usually stayed on the Oro Jackson, which they had taken from the Roger Pirates ten years ago, and wouldn't come to the Otherworlder-Go unless something important came up.
