"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

....

[...Immediately]

Hachinosu

The famous Pirate Island, a place without laws, is the paradise of the pirates in the New World. Strength rules here.

In canon, this island would eventually become the Blackbeard Pirates main port after they defeat the current ruler and former Rocks pirate, Ochoku.

Right now, Hector plans to act as some sort of corrective force...

"Let's destroy this place..." He says casually while he, Saeko, Cassandra, and Machia cross a portal to the island.

"How much?" Saeko asks with a predatory grin while removing a katana from her scabbard

"I want nothing less than a massacre." Hector says coldly

"That's what I was hoping to hear~" Saeko hums before shooting off to the distance "The strongest one is mine~"

She goes straight to the huge skull in the center of the island, ready to take down Ochoku and whatever officials he has.

"You can stay out of this..." Hector turns to Cassandra

"..." She shrugs her shoulder and starts walking in the direction of the center of the island. She doesn't plan to stay away from this fight.

"*Haah* Okay, but retreat if you feel bad... You need to get used to it anyway, but don't do anything you don't want." Hector sighs and relents

Cassandra blitzes at distance, it's unknown if she really is gonna kill anyone or not.

"Machia, destroy the ships." Hector orders and the giant man obeys. Going in the direction of the port.

At this point, the whole island is on high alert and knowing that there's an enemy attack.

Even in this lawless place a smidgen of order still remains.

Large scale battles are forbidden to not damage the island. So the people here divided themselves in two, the ones that are trying to run because is not their problem and the ones that will stay for whatever reason. Maybe they will fight for some distorted patriotism, or maybe only to be in the fun or only wanted to watch.

But regardless of what group these pirates belong to, they all freeze when they saw Hector floating a little above them.

"It's... It's..."

"The Devil!!!"

"Fuck!!!"

"Run!"

Hector's face is a mask while he looks down on them like ants. His mouth opens and even though he says it in a low voice, the whole plaza and beyond can hear his words like he whispered directly into their hearts.

"Death... or Death??" Everyone's hearts sank. Hector is using [Soul Pocus] from the Soul Fruit.

The same words, but spoken in completely different tones, show his intentions of not leaving anyone alive. The only difference is that one will be painless and the other not.

'So this is how Big Mom does it... She combines it with Conqueror's Haki' He thinks while he watches everyone freeze in fear.

Their soul LITERALLY "left their bodies" when his words and Haki crashed on them.

"Sorry... But I chose this world for many reasons. It has everything... Even scum material like you guys..." He comments casually and without pity.

With a grab motion, he starts to seize the Soul Force of everyone present. Their body withers and they die instantly.

Hector floats leisurely while collecting "material", and recycling the trash.

Most of them are paralyzed in fear. Some try to resist but are easily subdued, they couldn't muster even 10% of their power in such a state.

Some tried to beg, bargain, play dead, seduce by showing their boobs, lie about having a family, shout things about the vengeance of a stronger boss, or whatever.

Hector treats all of them equally.

Death or Death.

Only the ones that tried to fight feel the excruciating painful sensation of having your lifeforce/soulforce rip off their bodies. This unsurprisingly shut up most of them.

On that day, Hachinosu Island became a graveyard. And will stay like that for a long time.

People of the sea are a superstitious bunch, they will treat the place as one of bad luck and curse and will keep it empty.

...

The biggest storm ever registered is happening right now above the New World. It covers at least half of the planet and looks like the world is ending. Winds, rain, lightning, hail... Everything that one would expect from a treacherous sky is being displayed right now.

People and beasts alike look at the huge spiraling dark clouds in fear and trepidation.

There's nothing they can do, only cower in their safe places and wait for it to end. Pray for it to end.

The black clouds and flashes of lightning revolve around itself, converging in a single point in the sky.

In the center of everything stood Hector.

Unmovable in the sky, wet and with his hair whipping around wildly. His two hands are outstretched like he is holding something. His unblinking eyes don't move away from his hands...

Because he is holding the center of the storm.

"Converge..." His words could've been heard even above the loud wind.

And like a fast-forward movie, the storm starts disappearing. The huge vortex of dark clouds being sucked to the center. To a black ball on Hector's hand, that occasionally shines brightly.

"..."

The process lasts a minute maybe. After that, everything is back to normal, like nothing happened and only people's memories can confirm that a truly strange event happened.

"So... How should I call you?" Hector smiles at the ball that slowly unfolds in a small cerulean cute cloud.

"Maybe a simple Nimbus? Cloud 9?" Hector tries to think of a good name.

He just created a new Homie using the Soul Fruit.

His strongest Homie till now and also the strongest in history.

Different from his mantle, this time he didn't use a part of his soul. Only used thousands of lives of pirates. Not even Big Mom would be that wasteful.

But he needed a good foundation...

Beyond the clouds, he also used mist and gases that he produced from his powers to create. This is why it has a blueish color, because of the quirk of Shirakumo Oboro.

It will have many more abilities this way. Even creating portals...

And the final touch... He gives it a copy of Storm's Omega-level Atmokinesis.

It's another Yonko-level Character being created by this guy.

But obviously, he is going all out to create "Guardians" for his family to when he leaves.

"Hmm... The term 'Head on the clouds' means daydreaming..." He watches the cute cerulean cloud be distracted by some birds and float away a little before noticing that is getting far from Hector and returning.

"I will call you Kuso-ka. Means Daydreamer in Japanese. I will create a Daydreamer(in English) using my soul in my universe too. You're to protect my family, Kuso-ka." Hector talks to him

Kuso-ka nods obediently, like a kid.

Hector didn't train enough with the Soul Fruit, so he is not that good at creating personalities. So his only worry is making it obedient, loyal, and loving to his people... And calm. He really put the effort into making it calm. It's a Homie that can create storms after all. In a world filled with water.

"Let's go create your brothers..." Hector drops to the sea below "Normally it wouldn't be possible... But mine is not a Devil Fruit power anymore."

He puts his hand on the seawater and a vortex surges on the surface.

Time to create another broken character. And in this world... It can only imagine the potential of something that can control the sea.

"There's that Evil Water on One Punch Man and Morphling in Dota..." He visualizes what he wants to create "After that, I will go to that island with a huge volcano to create a Phoenix. One that can cure too..." He thinks out loud.

But then a thought crosses his mind.

"..." And he slowly raises his head to look at the... Sun.

A smile widens to ridiculous proportions on his face.

......

The flow of time is unstoppable(unless Hector uses [The World]), so more and more days flies out the window.

It could be said that Hector did most of what he wanted to do in this world.

The trip was to last 3 months and he planned on going at a leisurely pace, after all, everyone on this planet was trapped here with him.

But in the end, he ended up speedrunning a little to stop the suffering of others.

The last two weeks, after his marriage, are very calm.

He trained every day, meditated, worked with his powers, studied Germa's technology, continued to collect powers, experimented with a lot of new food, visited new places, and spent time with his wife and friends. That's what he did in his free time for himself.

One day a certain friend came to spend time with him and Hector took another decision to not hesitate again.

...

"Hector~ Let's fight!" Yamato runs toward Hector on a beach while waving her kanabo at him.

Her running throws sand everywhere.

Hector stops middle motion, he is playing with Rover and turns to her "Can't you ask anyone else? Like Saeko or Machia..." He asks and then throws the huge pillar of metal in his hand to the horizon at supersonic speeds.

Rover speeds up and runs in the air chasing the "stick".

"You're more fun. And Saeko and the others are out." She answers

"..." Hector remains silent while watching Rover running back at him carrying the huge pillar in his mouth

"C'moooon~" She whines while pulling his clothes.

"What about a bet then?" He suggests while throwing the metal pillar again, breaking the sound barrier

"A bet?"

"Yeah, the loser has to do anything the winner asks for... You can ask me to be your spar partner forever or any other thing... Even destroy the world or bring you to the One Piece." Hector's face still remains impassive while he tricks her

"Oh! Let's do it! It's a win-win situation. We're gonna spar anyway" She smiles

"...are you sure? I'm tricking you, you know? There's no way I would lose..." he says honestly. He is tricking her honestly...

"I don't care! You wouldn't ask for anything bad, right?"

"..."

....

And to the surprise of zero people, Hector won.

Yamato lays sprawled on the rooftop of Onigashima, panting from the exertion of the spar.

"..." Hector slowly approaches her

"Aaah~ That was fun! It is different from when my Father used to beat me." Yamato sits up "So what do you want?" She asks

"I will take what I want later, hear me out for a second..." Hector goes even closer to Yamato.

Even sitting on the ground she is not that much smaller than him.

"Yamato, accept that you're a woman AND be my woman." He doesn't beat around the bush

"Whaaaat?" A shocked expression takes over her face.

"Listen... I will not say anything like 'I'm gonna make you a woman', but is basically that." He sighs at his own actions "The thing is... Being very direct, because I think is the only way to go through this thick skull of yours..." He fondly pokes her forehead "I like you."

"..." Her mouth remains open

"*Haah* I know... It's a little weird for me too." Hector sighs and looks around a little before focusing on her again "Normally I don't do that. In truth, you're literally the first woman that I'm actively pursuing."

He continues "I'm adept at letting things happen naturally. It worked till now. I'm so handsome after all and apparently I'm everyone's fetish. Heh~" he jokes narcissistically "But I know this wouldn't go with you, right?" he looks at her eyes "The concept is too foreign for you."

"..."

"So I need, like almost every man, to take the initiative this time." He shrugs

"..." Yamato is silent for a moment before exclaiming "But I'm Oden!"

"That's... That's exactly the other thing I want to talk about." He tries to be the most empathetically possible "C'mon Yamato, you need to grow out of this... And don't take me wrong, I'm not acting like your Father." He interrupts her before she can protest

"..."

"Having a role model is great! But I think this mindset is limiting you now... And is a little inconsiderate to the people that know Oden." He makes a cringing face "No one said that to you?"

"..." She rolls her thumbs and pouts a little at his question "Some people gave me some looks..."

Hector sighs again and pats her head. Yamato didn't have much of a skinship beyond being beaten growing up, so she likes it.

"You don't need to be Oden, Yamato. You're an amazing person in your own right. An amazing woman... Strong, optimistic, beautiful, hard-working, gentle, considerate, appreciative, and many other qualities that made me like you and desire you to be mine and myself to give all the love you never received." His smile at her is incomparably gentle, his hand caressing her cheek lovingly.

Yamato is currently speechless from his words. The situation is completely unexpected, like Hector said she never thought about that.

"I like Yamato." Hector repeats "I don't need you to continue to pretend to be Oden. And there's also the limit to what Oden did... After you did what he did and wanted, like open the borders of Wano and travel, what you're gonna do? Kill yourself in a boiling pot?" He challenges

"..."

"And even Oden had a significant other, right?" he smiles roguishly "Ta-dah! No better option than me." He points at himself with his thumb

"..." Yamato doesn't react, so his jokes fall flat.

"Heh~ Anyway, I planned to use the bet to ask for a kiss... Give you a taste of romance, but I'm a pirate. I'm gonna steal that kiss." He approaches her and does just that without hesitation.

A hand firmly but gently holds her cheek and he lowers himself to give her a long kiss. A long chaste kiss, no tongue or anything. Only their lips connected, Hector trying to convey his feelings through it and awakening some feelings on her.

Her mouth finally closes instinctively to receive the kiss, proof that some things are ingrained in our beings. Affection is one of them...

Removing himself from her, Hector keeps a short distance to look into her eyes and says while still holding her face "About that bet... I want you to really think about what I just said. Really put a thought about it." He finally lets go of her after planting a peck on her forehead.

"Tonight I will be alone if you have an answer or want to explore more..." He winks at her "But you can take as long as you want, but remember that I will go away in a month." He turns around to go away

Yamato is still shell-shocked, but there's a small blush covering her cheeks and her chest is heaving slightly.

"Don't be afraid to reject me too... We can always be friends." Hector waves his hand in a goodbye, leaving her alone on the rooftop.

"..."

All of this was brought up after a lot of consideration from Hector and talks with his girls.

Previously, his mentality of leaving this world behind blocked his path of having anything slightly serious with any woman here. He didn't even want to sleep with anyone...

But now that he will eventually come back anyway... Why hesitate? Why wait?

He would pursue other girls... But he doesn't think he has the time to really do it seriously. So he bet on Yamato and her only.

He also doesn't want to stay in the way of the other's dreams, like Robin. Yamato wants to stay in Wano anyway. And she doesn't like anyone else. And like he said, he would need to take the first step.

All those shippers of YamatoxAce are fake too, he checked.

Ace in truth has a little strange relationship with a certain female marine that appeared in his novel called Isuka. A cliche situation of enemies but lovers...

So Hector tried, she is one of his top-tier waifus too. He would regret not trying.

.....

Later that night

Hector was alone and smiled when he heard the knock on his door.

Yamato was standing there for some time, unsure. And Hector didn't press her for anything and patiently waited for her.

"Enter." Hector says and watches Yamato bashfully enter his room.

It's a stark contrast to how she always blasts on places without a care. This is good... This shows that she is seeing him differently now.

Exactly like when someone confesses to another and even though the other doesn't have feelings initially, they get conscious of the first person's presence and love.

"Hi." Hector greets her normally

"Hi..." She answers quietly

"..."

"..."

The silence is a little awkward, so Hector as the man takes charge again

"So, do you have an answer? If not, you can think more... And if you want to reject me just say so, you're not gonna hurt my feelings." He gives her an encouraging smile

This gives back her courage. She can be a fearless warrior but also can be a shy maiden.

Hector finds this extremely cute. Seeing her play with her fingers and avoiding eye contact.

"Eer, I just thought that I can't be coward enough to not try... This woman thing." She whispers

"..."

"..."

"Hahaha!" Hector laughs out loud and after that stands up "Well, that is not an answer..." He says making her get even more shy

He walks towards her and extends his hand

"Wants me to guide you and show it?" He asks

"Yes..." She finally looks at his eyes "I trust you..." She grabs his hand

"..." He kisses it, giving her a taste of being treated like a dame "Thank you, means a lot to me." It really means

Then he approaches even further and pulls her till they are very close.

"As much I would like to enjoy being the smaller one... I think the logistics would work better if I'm taller than you." He suddenly grows in height

Yamato is 8'8'' feet tall(263cm). And yes, Hector would enjoy a lot climbing all that, but he preferred to start at 3 meters. He was more than a full head taller than her now and keeping his body well-proportioned.

"Wow! You can do that?" She asks in awe

"This and a lot more..." He keeps her smile and pulls her closer, in a hug.

"..."

He really likes Yamato, he wants to treat her right. And Hector is a patient man... He will be slow and steady. Trying to be the most understanding of her circumstances.

"How it feels?" He asks while they keep hugging

"It's good..." She mutters with her head on his chest.

That is the first time she has been hugged like that. Against a male body that so perfectly fits like that. With someone who is a potential romantic partner.

"Yes, hugs are great. I love them." Hector says while caressing her back soothingly.

"I'm seeing it." She tightens her arm around him.

They continue like that for an unknown period of time. Eventually, Hector starts kissing her forehead and horns, asking if she can feel it.

It's simply a pure and innocent show of affection. Their hands move around their bodies, not in lewd areas, they sway gently from side to side a little. Talking and playing around with some tickles too.

Then the mood is just right... Just perfect...

After a special good laughter Yamato gives, courtesy of Hector's wandering tickling fingers, her head moves back a little. And when the laugh dies off and the silence reigns again she notices Hector's gentle gaze on her face.

"..."

They kiss again. She meets him midway through his movement.

Once again is a chaste kiss, only their lips connecting each other. But it feels much more. They said that the eyes and re window to the soul, and then the mouth is the door to it... A kiss is a very personal experience. Incredibly intimate.

They separated after a long time, Yamato takes a deep breath that she didn't notice she was holding.

"Let me teach a new thing..." Hector gives her a light smirk before kissing her again.

She answers in kind, even grabbing him by the back of his head and torso tightly. The kiss is more intense and finally, Hector introduces some tongue on it.

"!" Yamato's eyes widen feeling it, but a caress on her side tranquilizes her and she goes with the flow.

Nothing knowing what to do and simply letting Hector drive her onto this ride.

Some seconds later she discovers that she likes this too. She likes this even more. The kiss brought out a wilder side of her and she grew active. The hands start going places previously unexplored.

She moans deeply into his mouth when he finally gives a good squeeze on her thick backside, the soft but still firm flesh being mauled by him.

He enjoys her reaction very much too and separates himself with a rogue smile.

She is feeling hot under the collar now.

"Come with me..." he pulls her to the bed.

And she follows without hesitation.

But no... He is not going to initiate sex with her. Not yet. They still have a lot to go through and have some talks.

He sits first on the futon, his back on the wall, and he conducts her to straddle him.

Their position is much more intimate, she can feel it. Their bodies are pressed tightly together, her weight on him.

"Let's continue..." He says before reinitiating from where they stopped.

The make-out session this time is more intense.

They continue to swap saliva, Hector playing with her ass, Yamato's hand exploring his torso. Stopping sometimes to Hector to kiss her neck, and nibble on her ear. Things she imitates too.

"I... I'm feeling a tingling sensation down there..." She moans while he leaves kisses on her collarbone.

A thumb circling around a nipple over her clothes.

"That's normal...*Kiss* This is your body feeling good and getting ready to go even further. To make babies." He gives her a teasing smile.

Then he points at her covered nipple "This is also a signal..." Showing her nipple poking the cloth

She cutely nods seriously at his explanation, while enjoying his ministrations.

"I also am being affected." He says and holds her ample hips with his two hands.

He presses her down and with some movements, she can see about what he is talking about. She can feel it...

"Hn~" She lets escape a moan feeling his big, hot, and hard length under her. Pressed against her pussy lips, separated by their clothes.

She unconsciously and instinctively starts making movements to feel it better, dry-humping his cock. Seeking something... Satisfaction maybe...

"This feels good... Ahn~" She continues to rub herself on him

"Want to feel even better?" Hector asks, making Yamato give him a curious look.

And without further ado, but slow enough to be stopped, Hector removes Yamato's white top garment from her shoulders. Exposing her huge breasts

"..." She doesn't care, in this world, these things are nothing much, especially for her

'I need to address this later with her...' Hector thinks while enjoying the act of slowly unraveling her soft tits 'Don't want other men taking advantage of her.'

His hands go to the lower part of her breasts, they are big as expected with a perfected shape and pink aureole.

Once again Hector sighed at not being on his normal size, he would enjoy them better when they were the size of his head.

"Are you a baby? Ahn~ This..." She starts saying when he puts a nipple on his mouth, but is cut off when the sensations start to get good.

He does everything he can with her milk juggers, using his power to massage them, biting slightly, his fingers, and tongue,.. Everything to her pleasure.

Yamato goes back to rub herself on him while on the receiving end of his care. She really is seeking completion which is hard to get.

"There is something... Something..." She is almost there.

Her movements go frantic and more desperate with each passing second.

"... go up a little." Hector says while one of his hands sneaks down on her abs.

Yamato reluctantly separates their waists from each other, and his hand enters her red hakama.

"Aah!" She exclaims in surprise

Now is a full-blown assault, her breast and her pussy are being stimulated by him.

She is completely still while holding onto his shoulder for dear life, her eyes shut in concentration, she doesn't want to lose the pleasure she is receiving.

With a last use of his powers, Hector flickers her bean and Yamato cums.

She releases a high-pitched squeal uncharacteristically of her and tightens her grip, on his finger below with her pelvic muscles and on his head with her arms. She is smoldering him on her breasts and probably any other would die from asphyxiation or by having their bones broken.

Hector lets her ride the waves of her, probable, first orgasm and come back to her senses on her own.

When he feels her gripping loosening and her breathing going back to normal he asks

"It was good?"

"Yes... That's... That was great. I never thought that something like this could exist." She confesses

He smiles at her for an instant before kissing her again

The kiss is even more intimate than the previous ones. Yamato is even more active with her tongue, moving her body to feel all of him and moaning in his mouth without shame.

After they separate again they only keep staring at each other faces for a while.

Yamato's features are being brightened by the moonlight reflecting on her sweat and that only makes her more mesmerizing to him, coupled with her white hair she looks like she is glowing.

"You're beautiful..." Hector states fondly, moving a strand of her away from her sweaty forehead and giving a peck on her lips.

"..." Yamato doesn't say anything. She is a little confused, but Hector can say that the way that she is looking at him changed.

She is looking at him more deeply... Appreciating him. Her hand running around his muscular torso is another proof of it. Muscular bodies are not that uncommon in this world, but Hector is especially very well-proportioned. Like a work of art.

She looks down at his exposed pecs and abs, feeling strange that she likes it so much.

"Come... Let's sleep." Hector pulls her to lay down on the bed "Cuddling on the sleep is awesome too." He smiles at her

She lets him do it again. Once again, nothing lewd happened.

Even if she is not mentally that exhausted. A nap after a clímax is always a good experience for anyone.

"Well, sorry but I'm gonna enjoy myself now..." He smirks and goes back to his normal height.

This makes his head goes on level with her creamy, and still exposed, breasts.

"You can treat me as a teddy bear..." He hugs her tightly and she answers in kind, enjoying once again this much of skinship.

She slept peacefully that night. The best sleep of her life...

...But Hector doesn't.

'I have a boner...' He deadpans on his mind.

He never reached his own completion tonight.

Normally, after making Yamato feel good he would say something like "Now it's your turn' and guide and teach her how to do it.

But not tonight. He is a patient guy... He can sacrifice tonight for a good investment in the future. And is not all about sex, he is enjoying the cuddling too.

'But damn this boner...'

....

And time continues to pass while Hector continues to make his preparations.

At a certain moment, when Hector is going back to spend time with Hiyori he pauses.

"..." Some meters away from Hiyori he goes completely still.

He was feeling... Inside her...

"..." Realization hit him like an interplanetary laser.

Without saying anything, and quietly, he approaches her... He can see his child being formed... He can see the little motes of the soul converging to form a new life.

He takes a deep breath, his eyes wide... Another breath... He calms himself and goes to hug his wife

"Husba- Hng." She is stopped by a tight hug, her face buried in his chest

"It's confirmed 100% now... Our child is growing inside you." He says to her

Her happiness blossoms in an instant and she hugs him with more strength.

....

The couple is cuddling beside a tree, Hiyori on his lap while Hector protectively embraces her from behind. His hand rubbing circles on her belly.

"So what do you think the name should be?" Hiyori asks

"Gohan if is a boy and Tomie if is a girl." Hector answers instantly

"Gohan and Tomie..." Hiyori says the names to test it "They are cute names..." She says seriously

"Eh... Sorry, I was half-joking and didn't think much about it." Hector sweatdrops seeing she taking those suggestions seriously "You can choose the name... A Wano name." He says

"No! You name them." She turns to him pouting

"Why? Just name them... I will not even be here when he, or she, will be born..." He says sadly

"Hector..." She says his name... That's rare.

"..."

"You.Choose.The.Names." And here it is again. Her stubbornness.

"..." What can he say beyond 'Yes, ma'am'? At least he has the final say...

.....

Outside Wano Hector is finally going to visit Egghead

"I have to say that I'm a little impressed with your achievements, Vegapunk."

 Hector comments to the tied scientist

He laughed a lot, really a lot when he saw him. He was expecting something to subvert his expectations... Maybe a muscle man, a woman, a loli...

Then he is exactly like the cliche of a scientist. It's a fucking Einstein Parody!

"Can you let me go now?" Vegapunk asks, irritated

"Wait some minutes, yes? I will release you unharmed depending on what I found." He comments "Cortana will finish in a minute..."

"You really created a very complex A.I., she acts exactly like a real person and is incredibly autonomous." Vegapunk comments impressed after he saw Cortana blitz through all of his cyber defenses and still make fun of him while doing it.

"She is alive." Hector says "And what are we if not super complex organic computers? She is simply not bound to our prison of flesh."

"Done, Master." Cortana voices says on his wrist device "His defenses are very... immature." Cortana says with a smug tone.

She is like that because Vegapunk said that his defenses are impenetrable.

This makes the old scientists bristle in professional pride.

"It's normal... he is good, but he has no competition. Why improve the defenses when no one else can Hack it?" Hector shrugs and goes through Vegapunk life work.

He is a little impressed... Cyborgs, robots, holograms, floating magnetic devices, and much more.

These things would not be out of place in a highly advanced lab on Marvel.

It's impressive he did everything by himself in this world.

There are places out there that don't have electricity! People still go around lighting up lamps on the streets.

"Hm... Seraphim?" Hector turns to Vegapunk with an accusatory look.

"What? Is to keep the peace on those seas..." Vegapunk defends himself

"...You can't be that naive..." Hector says in disbelief "Listen here, Oppenheimer. If you give anything to a government they will turn it into a weapon... If you give a weapon then..."

"..."

"I see... High I.Q., low wisdom? No... You're really an optimistic guy, huh?" Hector checks his other projects.

He can see a clear outline. It's confirmed... Vegapunk is a good guy.

A lot of his research is for the betterment of people.

His only mistake was to trust the World Government.

"Are you creating other bodies?" Ask interested 'Maybe intelligent people Always think the same... We are very limited to our one body.'

Vegapunk already transplanted his brain away, but is still creating his "satellite bodies" to divide his work.

"Yes, I will use my brain as a central to..."

"Yes, yes... I understand. Brain waves are like radio waves. Did you study the Den Den Mushis telepathic link?" Hector interrupts him "Are you gonna control all the bodies? I bet a huge brain would allow it..." Hector comments.

He already copied Vegapunk's power. It's not that appealing. It's a simple Unlimited Brain Storage. He is already close to it, and he doesn't want to have a balloon's head.

'Maybe a pocket brain dimension...' He thinks of ways for it to be useful.

"No, they will be autonomous... I can't divide my work if I will be the one doing all of it anyway." Vegapunk states

"..." Hector overcautious being rejects these words with all his power "You're really dumb..."

"I'm the smartest man alive!"

"In this world only... And tell me about the countermeasures of creating clones of you. Obediences chips? Brain conditioning during their formative period? Self-destruct device through a certain signal emitted by your brain? Undisputable authority and clear hierarchy?"

"Ugh... We are gonna be a team!"

"..." Hector stares at this man "I think I gonna punch you... This is a recipe for a disaster. Even I don't dare to create clones and let them live more than a day... I know my ego, I bet they would think of eventually taking the original spot. Like switching minds or whatever..."

"It's not gonna happen... I will separate them into clear functions that will be their entire focus and personality..." Vegapunk argues

"You're giving them uniques personality!??!"

....

"So this is Kuma's memories..." Hector right now is sitting in an isolated room in the lab.

His fingers pressing against his eyelids "Damn, what a cool guy..."

He only witnessed firsthand Kuma's backstory.

"And the World Government..." His mood shifts too ne of cold anger

After some seconds he controls himself and sighs

He stands up and gives one last look at the paw bubble containing Kuma's memories

"And to think would be a fatherhood backstory... What a time, huh? I will work hard to be half as cool as you..." He says before walking away.

....

Even if their first impression was bad, afterwards the two of them ended up sharing a meal while talking amicably.

"...Ancient Kingdom energy. If I can unravel its mysteries, the whole world will have energy! And one of the main causes of war will disappear!" Vegapunk talks about his dreams excitedly

"...naive." Hector comments while tasting some instant noodles that look like they are homemade.

"Don't talk with Grandpa Punk like that." Sentoumaru defends Vegapunk

He was beaten instantly by Hector when he arrived on the island. And after Cortana invaded the systems, the whole island was under Hector's control.

"I will call him on his bullshit anytime." Hector retorts "By the way, you're supposing that such convenient energy existed because of that huge robot?" Hector asked

"Yes. For such a thing to move and have that battle power, the way they stored energy inside it without leaking in any way. Simply marvelous." Vegapunk talks excitedly

"Hm~ This reminds me of that city of automatons on the moon... There's a huge device where they can go recharge there..." He says casually...

Or not. He is throwing the bait...

"City of automatons? Moon? Did you go there? What device to recharge?" As expected, Vegapunk is suddenly on Hector pressing for answers

"..." But Hector remains unaffected and continues to slurp on his noodles "Want me to tell you?"

"YES!"

"Nah... I don't feel like it..." Hector replies uninterestedly

Vegapunk practically dies inside

"Everything you would do would benefit the government anyway..." Hector says casually and then changes the subject "By the way, talking about such convenient energy remembers me of this thing..." Hector takes an Arc Reactor from his Inventory

"What is this?? What is this??? Is it an energy nucleus? But the lab can only barely feel the loss of energy to the environment! This is man-made!! How do you harness the energy? How do you jumpstart the Generation-" He tries to take the Arc Reactor from Hector's hands but Hector dodges

"..." A smile crept on Hector's face 'Hook, line and sinker'.

...

They talked a lot on this day. The contents of the conversation will remain a secret to everyone but the three.

They also talked about Devil Fruits, Vegapunk told Hector his theory that Devil Fruits was generated by people's wishes, Dreams, and imagination.

"...makes sense." Hector comments 'My world people's imagination...' "This is not strange... Thoughts have power. Brainwaves... It's minimal but they generated something. That whole thing about being positive and attracting positive things."

Hector knows because he is working on not letting his thoughts, feelings and other things leak.

"I know of some places where people harvest it. They Harvest negative emotions/thoughts by torturing people and collecting the residual energy." Hector explains something very common

"That's horrible...'

"Yes, it is. I'm only confirming your theory... I also think that Devil Fruits are man-made."

"Didn't I say that I think they are spawned spontaneously by the wishes of people?" Vegapunks turnss to him

"Vegapunk..." Hector shakes his head in a patronizing way "Okay, maybe new fruits can Spawn and old fruits can respawn alone... But who started it?"

"!!" Vegapunk eyes widen "Do you think... There's some sort of machine creating Devil fruits?"

"A machine... An animal... A tree..." Hector shrugs "A tree inside a Whale where she releases the devil fruits in the ocean by her blowhole." He drops a bomb on the man

"That's... That's...

"How many species of animals are in the world?" Hector suddenly asks an unrelated question

"At least 8 million, by my estimative..." Vegapunk instinctively answers immediately

"So there's at least 8 million Zoans... Only Zoans." He gives the scientist a look

"!! No, there's not... Devil fruits are still rare!"

"So where they are? These 8 million Zoans... Even more Mythical and Ancient ones... And the logias and the paramecias that can be an infinite number too?"

"..."

"Maybe in a vault... Maybe in the only place that is very hard to reach... The bottom of the ocean. Maybe inside a Whale... Island Whales are a real species after all." Hector comments. Laboon is an Island Whale "Maybe in the Last Island..."

"!"

"Maybe this 'Devil Fruit Tree' works as an antenna that captures people's wishes as you said and then generates the fruits. Giant Trees are also a recurrent theme here... My surname is Oak too... How fitting."

Trees... Whales... Are Always represented in places related to the Ancient Kingdom.

Heck, in Zou... The tree that holds the Road Poneglyph is in the shape of a Whale!!

Hector sighs "I think in the end I will go see it, Vegapunk."

"What?"

"The One Piece..."

.....

Hector lefts Egghead

He suddenly flew away after his conversation about Devil Fruits touch the known Devil Fruits and Vegapunk casually talked about Aramaki's, the future Admiral Greenbull of the marine, Devil Fruit.

"Did you just say... Wood Logia?" Hector turns his head slowly to Vegapunk like he is in a horror movie.

"Eek!"

And he took off.

He always thought that Aramaki would have a Zoan, a minotaur, or something. He didn't cared too much because everyone was trapped here with him.

But a fruit that can generate any plant that the user knows...

It's the nature version of [Creation]. The possibilities...

And that's why Hector went all this way to attack a Marine Base where Aramaki travels. He was the successor of Kizaru in Vegapunk's Bodyguard duty before he was elected as an Admiral.

So he always transited between some marine bases and Egghead. Alternating with Sentoumaru.

"And to think that you're an Akainu groupie and a fanboy of the World Nobles..." Hecotr says in disgust while holding Aramaki's neck "So disappointing."

Debris and destruction surround the two.

He sighs... On another day he would have spared him.

Maybe before he built something significant in this world...

Maybe before he saw Kuma's memories...

Now? *Crack*

Hector's gazes were already in another place when Aramaki's lifeless body touched the ground.

He didn't even spare it a single glance.

His eyes Pierce through the distance to practically glare somewhere... Mary Geoise

"...Let's go home." He turns away and disappears.

....

Not only that, Hector finally found Fujitora.

Beyond copying his Zushi Zushi No Mi(Gravitational Power), Hector shared some food and talked about some things with the man.

Planting some seeds that if he is lucky, maybe will make Fujitora's path end up in Wano as an ally.

Returning to Wano, Hector used his new forest powers to restore the environment in an even more perfect way and even create Fields and Fields of food.

....

In an isolated garden, Hector is concentrating hard.

His hands are in a shell in front of his body, light escaping between the space of his fingers.

With a last flex of his powers the light flickers and then disappears.

Hector slowly opens his hands and smile

"Congratulations, Master." Cortana says happily

"*Haah* I'm finally using [Power Manipulation] at its full potential..." He says

In his hand, a Muddy pearl rests.

"How should I call it? Power Orb?"

That is a meta-power materialized. A person would need only to break the surface of the pearl over his skin and he would acquire the power.

Hector took inspiration from those Skill Orbs in games and Isekais manga.

The reason? He wants to leave a legacy to his kid.

Nrvrddity is the mother of invention after all.

He will tell this only to Hiyori and keep it safe inside on an adamantium chest with a password in a secret location under his castle on Kuri.

But even if someone by a miracle acquires it... It will not be enough to rule the world. Only Haki is Absolute, after all. This is only a shortcut.

"Can be a good contingency plan if someone declares war at Wano too... Hiyori can reward loyal subordinates."

This is also a good way to cheat on his limitations to create copies. Before he needed to go through a whole process of giving away copies to braindead bodies, now he only needed to materialize in an orb.

He goes to create more, nothing much broken... Only basic stuff.

"Power Orbs... Tsk, Tsk. I'm such a genius. How other people could live?" He shakes his head narcissistically.

...

Saeko slides a door open of a brothel in Onigashima

"Hm? I thought Hector would be here..." She comments not finding him "Where is he?" She turns to the giant Black Maria sitting in huge cushions, playing a calming tune on her instrument.

"Lord Hector is... napping." Black Maria says with a strange face and her eyes move south, to her cleavage.

"..." Saeko deadpans "Wake him up..."

"I'm afraid he will kill me if I interrupt him."

"He is not a monster..." Saeko rolls her eyes at her "And apparently he likes you a little now... He wouldn't do it otherwise."

"...right." Black Maria says and puts her instrument on the ground "Lord Hector... Lord Hector..." She puts her hands on her breasts and starts shaking them gently

A small kid's head pops off from between her cleavage, the rest of the body being squeezed by the enormous breasts

"Calm me 'Hector of the cleavage' and ask for my wisdom..." He jokes in a serious, sagely mode.

"...Oh~, Hector of the Cleavage~ Don't you need to create the sky islands above Wano today? And Build that bride to Onigashima?" Saeko rolls her eyes

"Oh yes... I really need to go..." The kid Hector says.

But makes no movements. He even tilts his head to rest his cheek on the creamy pillowy softness of Black Maria's left boob.

"..."

Saeko is not angry. She can understand when Hector really has lecherous thoughts or is simply curious.

Like that time he slept on Nekomamushi's belly.

He is really simply enjoying a small dream like he promised.

"...You're so bad, Lord Hector. Making your woman come here search for you in a brothel..." Black Maria comments in a sassy voice "Should I prepare myself for a heartbreak too?" She smiles flirtatiously at him

"Do you have a heart?" Hector raises his head to look at her.

Then he jumps off her breasts, recording in slow motion the jiggle physics that his sudden movement caused.

"You're too far from it, Black Maria." Hector drops to the ground and makes a hand motion to her.

She obeys his commands and lowers herself down. Her chin touches the ground and he puts his small hand on her cheek.

"Do you know why I like you a little, Black Maria?"

"..." She could guess... Her body maybe.

"You're smart enough to be on the winning team and smart enough to see that I always win, and treat well my people," He says. "Just don't betray me and maybe you can get there." He turned away and left.

In this world, it's common for to people change crews for various reasons. Some crews are absorbed by others and all that.

Black Maria and her little bands of courtesans are now under Hector's protection. She is useful because she is smart and has a very impressive network of spies across Kaido's territories and a little beyond.

And she knows how strong Hector is... She is not crazy to betray him.

Now... To slowly turn this fear into respect and loyalty... Someone charismatic like Hector can do that easily.

He did it with like, 80% of the surviving Beast Pirates now.

In her case, he only needs to act like he likes her and enjoy her presence. She will think that she is growing on him... Close to gaining the benefits and status. She wouldn't want to fumble the bag, so will be useful and obedient.

It's funny how a good way to make your subordinates like you is to like them first.

'If she is not as agreeable as I want till I go away, I will kill her.' Hector thinks coldly while walking away with Saeko.

"So... Why are you a child?" She asks him with a raised eyebrows

"Obviously is better to be a child when pampered by a big Onee-san. Duh." He states the obvious

"..."

"Heh~ With this power I can realize a men's romance... Time to some Shota plays." He clenches his small fist and smiles evilly. A smile that doesn't match a kid's face.

"..."

He then turns to her "By the way... You're the Onee-san type..."

"Do not ever think about it." Saeko cuts him mercilessly "You're cute like this, but no." She pinches his chubby cheeks and smiles fondly but still refuses.

"Why??"

"Because you're a child..." She also states the obvious "How do you feel if I was a child and... you know..." She challenges

"..." It's like a bolt of lightning hits him.

Slowly he touches her and makes her a child too... And he can confirm his suspicions.

Yes, she is cute but... No! Impossible! He can't do it!

She is a stick. There's a difference between Lolis and small women!!!

He understands now...

He literally falls to the ground defeated... His Dreams crashing. His will disappearing...

"Why? Why do the double standards only work against men?? Why??" He throws a tantrum on the ground

"..." Saeko who is admiring her kid's appearance looks at him. She is used to these antics now.

The two look like childhood friends now, one the serious type and one the chaotic type.

She only needs to wait for him to be a drama queen for some moments, then he will say something like "Anyway" or "whatever" and bounce back and continue with his life.

"Why?? Why??? I want to make some OneeXShota play!!" He trashes on the ground like an unruly kid "A gyaru onne-san! A tanned tomboy onee-san! A kuudere librarian with glasses onee-san! A ojou-sama onee-san! I want it!!"

"I want to be Ara Ara'ed!! That demon Onee-san of Ane Naru!! I want it... I want to be spoiled! Lucoa! Raikou! Unohana!!"

"I have the Dreams of my fellows webs to realize..."

"It can't be... It's all fake..." His energy left him and he lay there, defeated.

Till he bounces back.

"Whatever... The omniverse must be full of maniacs." He sits up and slowly goes back to his normal age. Turning Saeko back too.

"..."

"I will not lose hope. Everyone is different."

"By the way, Cassandra told me that you went searching for the last Road Poneglyph..."

"Oh yep, already found the One Piece." Hector says lightly and then starts laughing at a joke only he knows. "Hahahaha"

"? What is so funny?"

"You wouldn't get it..." He waves to dismiss her and snickers "I also went there and before the real One Piece, blocking the path... I put a big mirror with the words 'The real One Piece is the friends we made along the way'." And he starts laughing even harder.

"Pfft. You're such an evil man." Even Saeko laughs at this.

...

Hector is taking a rare day off to himself.

A strange thing to say something during a vacation.

But things went in a different direction from how he previously planned and he ended up having to do a lot of work.

His days off during these 90-day trips could be counted in a single hand.

Today he is taking this day only to himself. Yes, it's good to spend time with his loved ones, but a man needs a day to literally do nothing and only stare at the space, maybe hearing music, watching something... An unproductive day.

Hector is lying on the grass, a variety of animals nesting on him, Birds, butterflies, squirrels, and others... All sleeping with him like he is the Snow White.

He just lay there with his hands behind his hand, enjoying the wind and the good fragrances of nature.

"So it's like this..." Hector slowly opens his eyes to look at the vast blue sky "It's like the world is brighter and more beautiful. And I'm not even a father yet..." He comments to himself.

By reflex, his eyes turn to the direction of the Flower Capital, to Hiyori.

"So this how it is... I can't even stop myself from reaching at her with my senses every minute. My En, and Observation Haki unconsciously concentrates on her. Checking everything..." He sighs.

He is surprised by, not really unexpected, changes in himself.

"She is so beautiful..." He admires "Is this some sort of conditioning of our being to protect pregnant women? People instinctually shift their posture when a pregnant woman arrives close. Like is ready to protect her in any case of danger..."

"We would fail in Evolution if is not like that..." He says and sighs again "That's what I thought before. 'It's only a chemical response in our brain', 'Years of evolution coding our behavior'...

"But is more than that..." He gazes pierces the distance and he can see Hiyori sewing with Toko, smiling and playing with the little girl.

"She is literally glowing to me... It looks holy." His hand is raised, like he wants to caress her from a distance. "So pure..."

Then he sees it... The blood on his hands. Tainting her beautiful aura of motherhood.

"..." He slowly and almost sadly lowered his hand "I see, I see... It's like that."

"I understand why people change so much... I understand how it becomes a weakness." His gaze goes back to the sky. To contemplate.

"..."

!

Suddenly all animals around him receive a jump scare and flee. Not only them, but it's also possible to see birds and other beasts going away from Hector.

His face is a cold mask, his bangs obscuring his eyes, while he slowly stands up.

"Master?" Cortana calls him.

But he ignores her and slowly turns in a certain Direction.

"Or you hug your loved ones with your blood-tainted hands, or you watch them bleed..." He murmurs almost the same things that he said after killing the Kingpin.

It's like everyone went in a full circle and he is back to that torture room in the basement.

"Master?"

"Hate is born to protect love..." He slowly starts to walk in a certain direction before taking flight. He doesn't teleport... His gaze was still fixated on the Horizon. He is moving very slowly...

"Master?? Where are you going?" Cortana asks a little more frantically.

"Don't worry, my love... I'm only going in a... enthusiastic walk."

He answers with his gaze still fixated on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Here I go killing again... I really didn't plan to do it. I really don't... It's weird how such a pure thing like the birth of my child can make me do something like that..." He continues to murmur to himself "But you all are not letting him go, right? Right??" He speeds up, the skies darken "Life is so complicated... I want to be a good person, I really want. And here I am..."

"...going to commit a war crime."

"I'm figuring out what type of man I am!" he arrives on the Red Line

Hector is the man who does bad things for good reasons and does good things with a hint of second intentions... He kills people who can't hurt him because they can hurt others, and he saves people he likes even at the price of becoming a hypocrite.

A man who altruistically does Evil and selfishly does Good.

.....

The next day, Newspapers around the world shocked everyone.

The World Government has fallen.

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise was destroyed.

In its place, an empty space like a giant beast took a bite of the Red Line.

A strange phenomenon of the Sea Kings around the world going to the surface and moving wildly happened around the world, some speculate that is related.

Some think that the Ancient Weapons are used.

A great number of Marines died, including Admiral Akainu and other Vice-Admirals.

The Marines hastily entered in contact with the Kingdoms around the world.

King Nefertari Cobra and King Riku, stepped forward to preside over a reunion to decide the future of world relations.

Many Kings around the world suddenly die. Most of them had scandals under their names.

In the end, The World Government was a medium between the Marines and the people that they wanted to protect.

Now they need to restore the order and organize a new system.

No one knows about the one pulling the strings behind the curtains. They can only guess...

.....

"Welcome home, Husband~" Hiyori greets Hector when he returns, she is doing a traditional greeting in Seiza in his chambers.

"Hiyori..." He hurries to bring her to her feet "I told you that you don't need to do that. You're pregnant. The ground is cold. I do not care about it..." He hugs her side and puts one hand protectively over her belly.

"Fufu~ I'm pregnant, not sick... And I like doing this for you. Treating you well." She says with her bright smile

"..." 'I see... My heart skipped a beat.' "I love you." He blurts out

Her eyes widen upon hearing that. He doesn't say that lightly, he always says "Almost loving you", "Like you", "I will love you" and other redundant words.

The two hug and kiss lovingly.

'I see... I thought that was different, but like any other man... I fall in love if the girl treats me well. I will not laugh at the people that create scenarios on their heads with cashiers anymore' Hector thinks

In the end, all share the same brain cell. The physical type can vary but will never be the deciding factor in a relationship... All goes back if he is treated well and she stays by his side giving some peace of mind.

'Wait a minute...' Hector suddenly pauses and widens his eyes 'That time where I went to torture my uncle, with the kingpin too, working till late, a little disappointed with humanity...'

'Shego was close during all that! Making her presence noticeable to me...'

'She played me!! That's how I fell for her!'

He realizes he can almost see her face turning to him and saying "Took you long enough sucker." And giving him a peace sigh. He can only laugh now.

And he thinks he is complicated. In this aspect, he is dumb like any other man.

......

Hector is humming to himself while sitting in his office.

 An enormous table with the map of Wano is in front of him while he moves things around.

Everything is going well.

He took all Devil Fruits he could. He even received a nice surprise in Mary Geoise. Some nice souvenirs...

Recently, that Tengu guy revealed himself to be his grandfather-in-law. The reunion is touching to everyone... Hector doesn't care much but gives him his respects.

It took so long because he was ashamed of his failure... Samurai reasons.

His grandfather-in-law approached him to talk about Pluton which is below Wano.

Hector said that he already knew and already scanned the ship. If he wants he can make a fleet of Plutons.

Hector is much more interested in the submerged Old Wano. He has plans to bring it back.

It's a lot of land after all. But would destroy Wano's natural defenses... But he has magma powers... It's a project to when he comes back.

Hector also solved the small issue of Tama being a Kurozumi, the same clan of Orochi. A little flare of Haki and quieten down everyone.

Hector already placed the "Guardians of Wano" around the country.

Longy Yin will stay too, as the Elder Brother and leader. He went all out in the Mythical creatures from Japan and China.

A Cherry Blossom, a Golden Crow, a Phoenix, and many others...

He also revealed his [Power Manipulation] to a select number of individuals.

Giving some useful powers to them.

He still has the ownerless CP-0 in his custody, working to see if he can rewrite the brainwash to him. If not... Another bloody game of whach-a-mole will be played. He laughed seeing the Lucci from here.

He also upgraded Yamato and even gave her a copy of the Gura Gura no Mi and an Adamantium Kanabo.

Yamato is currently the strongest person alive in this world. It's debatable if she can take his creations though.

Reiju surprisingly fitted well in Wano. She has some medical knowledge because she works with poison.

Hector was training her in his spare time. He wants someone to guarantee that Hiyori's labor went smoothly. Other countermeasures are Law, the Phoenix, Vegapunk, a series of maid robots many, many things.

This is mostly unnecessary because he checked the future and saw everything would go well.

He hates seeing the future like that. But making exceptions is part of life. Like massacring a civilian territory...

He is also preparing a fun game for the people of this world...

*Bam*

"Hector!!" Yamato suddenly invades his office in her usual way

"Yes?" Hector turns to her calmly

"Oh! There you are!" She almost bashfully closes the door and stalks around him till she is behind him. She then sits behind him and hugs his torso.

"What are you doing?" She looks over his shoulder easily because of the height difference.

"Deciding about roads..."

"Roads?" She asks confused while pulling him into her embrace, his head between her breasts.

Yamato is a very affectionate person. And Hector presented to her the joys of cuddling and hugs.

"Yes, I was thinking if I should, and which, roads I must enlarge and make it better." He says while holding her hand affectionally.

"There's really a need to think about it?"

"Yes... Everything can become complicated when you think far enough. For example, what if I enlarge this road and one day it will be used by rebels." Hector explains

"..."

"Times of peace and times of war affect everything. In an ancient country, all the cities were walled and with their personal armies during warring states. The roads are kept somewhat hard, to defend against invaders, was prohibeted slums outside the walls. They don't cut some forests that are natural defenses and many other examples. But cut some that could be used to hide an invader army."

He continues "In times of peace, accessibility is great... But during war can be a problem... Peace weakens us. Never let your guard down."

"Ooooh. I understand now..." She nods at his words

"That said... This world has people that can jump hundreds of meters... In the end, power is the best deterrent. Let's expand some roads... Better now than in the future when people build homes close to it and then when it needed to expand, would need to destroy people's homes." Hector talks about common structural problems in his world. Some cities progressed too fast...

The tight roads and basic sanitation were complicated to reform because the city was ill-planned.

"..." Yamato stares at Hector while he works around changing the map.

She likes to watch him do that, she knows that is not her expertise to do these Jobs, so she admires this man very much. This man... Her man...

Yes, after the engine was started, their romance drove forward smoothly.

Hector didn't try to change Yamato, only her perspectives... She is the same person, and acts the same, but it feels different. She didn't completely grow out of being "Oden, the Return" but it's better. At least she presents herself as Yamato now.

They also explored each other intimately many times, like high school lover discovering about what each other likes.

Her feelings continue to grow... She watched him do things around Wano, help people, improve their lives, how people respect and look up to him, and much more.

A strange feeling of pride growing on her chest. A weird thing to feel, on her mind, because it's not her... It's not her accomplishments. And it's not admiration, it's pride.

She feels pride and happiness in another person's work and being.

Only later did she discover she was in love.

Like Saeko once said, "High exposure to Hector can cause that"

And after a talk with the girls and figuring out her thoughts and feelings. Yamato didn't hesitate... In her usual prideful and boastful way went to Hector and declared that she loved him.

Like how previously she would declare she is Oden.

"I'm glad that I reached your heart... You also have a special place in mine." Hector answered and kissed her.

And that's how things developed till now.

"Hmmm" Yamato keeps a pensive expression.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Hector asks while enjoying her hand going through his hair, his hand reaching for a cup of tea.

"I was thinking... Hector! Let's have a baby!!" Yamato shouts excitedly

*Blergh* 'I will stop drinking tea, seriously...'

"What?" Hector gets off his comfortable position to look at her.

"Hiyori is pregnant, right? It's super cool... I want to try too!" She says like it's enough

"...having a kid is a huge responsibility."

"I know, I'm not joking. But wouldn't we have it anyway in the future? Why not now?" She puts a finger on her mouth while asking in confusion

"...well... You still have a lot to grow..." Even to his ears, his excuse sounds weak.

"But wouldn't be a good thing to learn about being a woman?" She shots back

Hector winces "Okay... Who told you to use my words against me?"

"Saeko." She confesses easily

"I knew it."

"She told me that the best way to convince you of anything is using your own words, because you're never wrong."

"..."

"You guys really want to double my sins?" Hector can only sigh

He goes in his overthinker mode. He thinks a lot and eventually closes his eyes and sighs again.

"Like how my grandpa would say: 'What is a fart to whom already shat himself?'"

"Gross..."

"Heh~ Yeah, and a half-sibling of the same age can be good too..." He convinces himself. The two half-siblings can keep each other company... A bigger family.

He would need to teach some things to Yamato though, but Garp raised Luffy... So maybe she can too. And she will have help from everyone around her.

Will connect Wano and the Beast Pirates more.

What irony of destiny... Kaido and Oden's grandchildren... will be siblings.

He suddenly stands up and takes Yamato in a princess carry, making her squeal.

"Okay, let's go do some 'Plap Plap Get Pregnant' love session." He teases making her blush.

...

The final day of this trip is approaching.

Hector is now ready to fulfill a promise...

His duel with Mihawk.

He, Saeko, and Mihawk are on a desert island in the New World.

"Ready for our swordsmanship duel?" Hector smiles

"You look a little different..." Mihawk comments while staring at him.

"Oh~ You're not Hawk Eyes for nothing. Indeed, I'm a little different today..." Hector smiles "Let's say that I equalized the chances."

"..." Saeko gives him a glance. Hector is probably on his weakest body.

It's simply a peak human body. Physically weaker than Captain America...

"Now, let's me prepare my weapon..." Hector makes a grab motion on the air and... grabs the air? His fingers are in a circle and he looks like he is holding a sword and pointing it at a Mihawk. But he is holding nothing.

"Are you mocking me?" Mihawk narrows his eyes

"A lion wouldn't hunt a rabbit with all his have..." Hector gives to him similar words Mihawk gave to Zoro. "And can't you see? My sword..."

"?"

Saeko and Mihawk look at him more attentively.

It looks like he is really holding something there... Almost an invisible sword of some sort.

"A lesson Saeko... Learned from Cultivation and Murim Worlds... A real swordsman doesn't need a sword... Because of himself, everything and nothing... Can be a sword." Hector says and makes a slash motion with his "Nothingness sword".

A mountain nearby is slashed clean by him.

"Excalibaaaa..." He jokes in a deadpan voice.

'It's not because this body is weak that I can't bring great inner strength... Don't use your body as a medium of your inner strength, Hector. Enhance your body with your inner strength... Don't skip steps. Don't exteriorize, let it flow...' He murmurs in his mind.

Valuable lessons learned during the battle with Kaido.

"Very Well..." Mihawk removes Yoru from his back "Let's start then."

Saeko jumps on Hector's Homi cloud and moves out of the way, watching the battle from the sky.

......

"isn't him an impressive guy?" Hector comments lightly while traveling back to Wano in his cloud. A satisfied smile on his face.

"..." Saeko looks at him. A bloody wound in his cheek. "You said that, but... Aren't you even more impressive?" She then looks down on the ocean.

The island where the two fought was split in two.

Not only that... The sea was split in two! There's a huge rift... An open wound on the sea that is not being filled by water.

"Meh... Was an easy battle from the beginning... My Haki was much better than his."

"How did you do that?" She asks about the cut on the sea

"My haki is still lingering on it... It's like how awakened powers can affect the environment permanently. Like how I created sky islands above Wano." He explains. "Try to be 'one with the world'... If you can understand what I'm saying."

"..." She nods. More or less understanding what he said "It will become a scar on him..." She comments

"Hahaha. Isn't funny that now he has the same scar he made on Zoro?" Hector laughs

He continues "And he improved on our fight... He is really talented. As expected..." Hector comments while touching his wound "Human potential is really impressive. Makes me proud...Haha."

....

Vegapunk walks together with Hector in a Hidden Location.

"I appreciate that you decided to be my ally..." Hector says with a good-naturedly smile

"And what other choice do I have? You destroyed the Government!" Vegapunks huffs

"Don't be like that... They're evil."

"You're evil too."

"A necessary evil." Hector retorts "Now, let's go... You're one of the feel that knows about this location. Remember your role..."

"Yeah, yeah... Give the map and clues only to someone who deserves it and has at least one Road Poneglyph. Don't Forget your part of the deal..." Vegapunk says

"Relax, when I go back we will start to change the world for the better." Hector nods and the two shake hands.

Hector opens a portal to go away and Vegapunk gives one last look at the place.

A ridiculous huge hall... A throne room. The aesthetic screams evil overlord. But more than that is an Arena. On the two sides, there running water and torches on fire.

It's the place to test the ones that want to go for the One Piece.

Unknowingly, Hector ended up taking care of most of the obstacles to Laugh Tale. And that is not fun at all...

...Then he the created obstacles.

"The world's most elaborated 'Treasure Hunting Game'." In Vegapunk words

He is now in one of the key locations where Hector put a Road Poneglyph. So to find the One Piece they still need to go through this place.

'The challenges, enemies, puzzles, and structure of the place are already bad enough but... that thing' Vegapunk looks to the end of the room.

It's possible to see a dais where the throne lays, and many types of weapons stabbed on the ground around it. In the wall behind it is possible to see semi-transparent curtains and the outline of a huge cube behind it.

The prize... The Road Poneglyph.

The problem is the thing seated on the throne... Even Vegapunk shudders in fear and awe at that thing and what it represents.

Standing at 5 meters tall, a figure sits on the throne leisurely with its eyes closed. Using royal-like black robes with the chest open. His legs are crossed and his cheek is supported by a hand. In his chest a tattoo...

PX-666

In short, it's a Pacifista. A seraphim model... But is much more than that.

First, it's a clone of Hector himself.

And second... 'It's the Ultimate Lifeform...' Vegapunk thinks

It's a culmination of all races in this world. Perfected...

It has the brown skin, white and long hair, and dark wings of the Lunarians.

The four horns adorning his head like a crown, show the traces of the Oni tribe of Kaido and Yamato.

The lines on his neck and ribs expose his gills, his fishman heritage. And only Hector knows how many special abilities it has. Maybe if the mouth is open will be revealed a row of sharp teeth that can regenerate easily, maybe it has poison like an Octopus...

From the Buccaneers, Giant, and Tontattas you can only guess that their strength and stamina are running through those powerful muscles.

In his forehead, a vertical slit hides his third eye.

Other heritages are not that obvious, but they are there.

Overall, his appearance remembers Hector of a mix between Sephiroth and Rou(Re:Monster).

And obviously... It's not even his final form yet. He has a second phase.. Maybe even a third one if the enemy is a redhead... Maybe even more.

Vegapunk sighs looking at perfection given form.

"And to think that the original is even stronger... How many Devil Fruits powers did he give to that thing? I hope he was careful, that can destroy the world." He sighs before going away.

Leaving "Seraphim Model: Demon King Sephiroth" alone in his throne room waiting for his challengers.

Obviously, Hector is careful. A ridiculous amount of countermeasures were put in place. And all that is to be summarized in two guidelines...

Protect this room and protect his family.

Only Hiyori and Yamato have authority over Seraphim Sephiroth in this world. And even they can't command him to do certain things.

And is not like he is invincible either... If not would not be a game. Hector made it possible to beat him in some ways beyond being stronger than him.

Like there's no limit to the number of people that can participate in the "raid".

You don't need to destroy him to win. There's a Health Bar on his mind, after he takes that much damage he will concede.

He can't leave the room, so you can try as many times as you want, if you're not killed by him. You can learn his patterns and grow strong fighting him.

He is the perfect final boss... From a Souls game.

.....

Final day in the One Piece world

The day to say goodbye finally arrived. His close friends are present to see Hector's group off.

The groups are not the same that arrived. They grew in strength, character, and even in number.

There are two additions to the team... Yes, two. Beyond the summon of Rover, Hector also took the opportunity to summon another character.

The Customizable Flora Colossus.

The idea came when he saw the giant tree in Elbaf. In this world, there's a special tree called Treasure Tree Adam. The prized wood that is as resistant as a metal and of great quality.

The "customizable" part of the card didn't allow Hector to go for esoteric types of trees... So he relented and summoned his Groot already.

He also needs an example to make a Guardian in Wano with Aramaki's Forest powers...

And he can always improve his Groot.

The other addition is already a card... Baby Five. But this is a story to another time.

"I will miss you all." Hector gives a hug to Yamato and Hiyori.

His two women, are pregnant with his child.

The expected reluctance assaults him.

'What if I force the development of the kids? I can be here... I only need to extend my stay a little...'

"Stop thinking. Just go. I will be waiting for you." Hiyori puts a hand on his cheek

"..."

"Just promise that you will come back to me." Hiyori says

"Absolutely."

"Don't worry, Hector. We gonna raise them good enough to make you proud!" Yamato says with a hand on her lower belly.

"That's not what I'm worried about..." He sighs "The time is getting scarce..." He kneels to give a kiss on each of his women's bellies. Trying to pass some positive energy to his future children.

'Children... My life is too crazy.' He shakes his head before standing up

"Remember... Don't go around teaching them weird things of obedience to the shogunate, but is okay to teach about the values of this country and his roots.' He points to the people on the back. Denjiro and the others "You guys are not allowed to lay a hand on my children, only the mothers. If they do something wrong explain why it's wrong, and don't do it in public to humiliate them... Unless the things they did were really bad. Make them apologize... Not much physical punishment, but don't go soft on them too. If they are boys you can be a little more harsh on them, if they are girls don't even think about it... Keep them away from bad examples, wait! All of you guys are bad examples! Don't let them leave my territory, I will come back before they grow too much. If they asked about me say that I'm far away doing important work, or that I went to buy milk. Tell them that I will reward them if they behave when I was not around. If that little shit Momonosuke do something lewd with Yamato I'm castrating him and continuing the bloodline by myself and..."

And he goes on and on and on and on and on.

"All right, husband. We understand." Hiyori stops them while giggling at his overprotectiveness. Yamato's head is fuming from the amount of information.

"...Okay. If you have any problem, go order the Guardians or go to my lab. There, an A.I. can answer a lot of your questions, don't tell Vegapunk though, and use the things on the vault whatever you want, no need to be cheap. Run away if you need it." He instructs

He hesitates, his voice tight "And... And... If they ask about me... Just say that I love them more than anything, even though we never met..."

"..." They hug him for comfort, but Hector doesn't cry. He has no right to it now. He will own his choices.

5...4...

"Don't apologize on my behalf, I will do it personally..."

"I understand... Go do what you need to do. I know it's important." Hiyori consoles him

3...2...

"Yeah... Tomorrow I have school." He smiles, joking to lighten the mood

...1

[End of the Travel]

.....

Marvel Universe

Hector sighs while walking around his room. That feeling when you see your home after a long trip settling on him.

He already returned his people to their respective homes.

"*Huff* Where did this mental tiredness come from?" He sighs on a chair taking on these feelings "Ugh... I remember that I was a little like that after coming back from Hero Academia too..."

He is feeling like shit. But he can't allow himself to be depressive now... He needs to live properly.

"... I will go see Shego." He makes his choice of who sees first and stands up immediately.

Teleporting away he finds her... He missed her.

She is in her residence doing some light training, and shadowboxing in her home gym wearing a green crop top and black biker shorts that do wonders for her green booty.

His mood improved by only seeing her.

He admires her for a little, her speakers blasting music loudly while she exercises. She appears to be humming under he breath too.

Hector sneaks behind her and catches her calf while she is doing a spinning kick.

"!!! Motherfucker!! Do you want to kill me??" She shouts in fright

"Hello to you too, Shego..." He smiles

"Did you give up on your tri- Oh! I forgot that is like instantaneous..." She realizes. Beyond giving her his farewell, reuniting his group, giving his little speech, and bringing everyone back not even half an hour passed to Shego.

"I missed you..." He says with his small smile

"Hmpf. Sounds like a your problem." She replies with a cocky smirk "To me, you didn't even leave."

"..." Her words can't break his good mood and goes for a tight hug. He hugs her around her waist, raising her in the air. His face was on her taut stomach. He adjust the position and she was raised in the air while he hugs her under her ass and she spins her around.

"Let me go! I'm sweaty!!" She protests

"To you, it was an instant... To me was 3 months. So I need to replenish my Shego Reserves." He ignores her protests and continues to hug her by the butt.

"Hmpf. Didn't you drown your sorrows in some woman's bosom?" She asks while looking down on him

"..." Hector turns his head up to look at her, his chin on her navel "We need to talk about it...I decided to not sleep around and only allow myself to get close to girls that I see a sort of future." He says seriously

"...that's good." She says. There aren't a lot of girls in this world that can accept this type of relationship. And in other worlds, she doesn't care.

Out of sight, out of mind... And this doesn't even steal her time with him.

"I've officialized things with Cortana and Saeko."

"Oh... Good for you."

"Said that... I got married." Hector reveals

"...WHAT?" She suddenly shouts, her voice showing her shock.

"And had a child..."

"..." This time she is so shocked that she is mute, her mouth can't even close

"Two of them..." Hector practically winces saying that

"HECTOR!?!"

....

A.N.: Ahoy.

That's it. That's my One Piece arc. I hope you all like it.

Heck, counting the words now, I can see that is bigger than many fanfics out there.

It was a good journey of growth in many ways again, full of parallels with the MHA arc, but in a more mature way. 

In homage a Oda sensei the god of foreshadowing, I made my one.

Many chapters ago Shego once told Helena something like "If I'm not careful some soft-eyed nurturing woman will make him fall from her"

Well... Hiyori is her. Even her eye design is a little droopy to show her gentleness. There's no way #EvansGenius, semi-god of the foreshadow.

I have many things to say but I will not say them now because I'm tired... I will, maybe this week, post an extra chapter.

Maybe about powers.

Maybe a semi-canon story of Momonosuke or the Strawhats arriving in Wano and seeing the changes made by Hector? And his toddlers... Which one you like more?

Maybe the lemons with Hiyori and Yamato too? And some back of the stage scenes taht are cut off because of the limit... Yes, I cut things. One Piece is HUGE.

With the extra, I will post an important note...

Till next time, stay good.

Bye.

.....

Helena P.O.V.

"Helena, come and give this guy an earful too!" It's the first thing Shego says to me as I walk down the stairs to Hector's living room.

Yesterday he went to his convenient 3-month-in-1-second trip to another universe.

In the living room, there are the expected initial members of this ever-growing group(How many are there now?) plus Cassandra and the pets... And is that a tree? That alien black dog is new too.

"What he did do this time that not even your chaotic brain can't forgi-??" I start saying before being pulled in a hug by Hector himself

"Long time no see..." He says while pressing me against his chest

"..."

"Missed you, Helena." He smiles affectionately at me after pulling me away and giving me a long look at my face, even putting some strands of hair behind my ear.

"...okay. Sorry that I can't say the same."

He laughs a very carefree laugh to my quip before going to sit on his chair.

"By the way this is Groot and that one is Rover." Hector points to the Tree Man and the dog

"I am Groot."

"Yeah... Hector just told me that. I'm Helena." I say strangely

"Don't mind him, he can only say those words..."

"I am Groot." He repeats, but this time with a nod

"See? With time you can understand what he says." Hector adds

"I am Groot."

Okay, I think I'm catching a little...

"Don't go changing the subject!" Shego still impatiently stamping her foot on the floor.

"Shego, let it rest... It's done." Hector sighs

"Will not stop me from tearing you off to make me that you will never repeat it again." She argues

"Will not happen ag-..." He starts saying but shuts his mouth for some reason.

"Okay... What's going on here?"

"This guy had a child!!!" Shego points at Hector

"Whaaat??" I turn to him, waiting for him to deny it, but he just looks to his front sheepishly "Hector?!!?"

"That was exactly my reaction!" Shego points at me

I'm in shock "Wha- Like, who- How? Why? What?!!?"

He sighs again "I think that was the normal reaction..." Then he chuckles "So I'm not the weird one."

"Don't laugh! Do you know what makes it worse?" Shego shouts at him and turns to me "It's two! Two children with two different women!"

"..." That got out of hand quickly.

This guy is a father already? I mean... I think he will be a good one... In ten years! He is 16!!

"But seriously, this is really out of character... Can you explain this to us?" I say, diplomatically, I can give him the benefit of the doubt

"Yeah, Hector. Defend yourself." Shego adds while crossing her arms in a bossy attitude.

He sighs again "I already did... Shego is being a drama queen."

"..."

Well, this I believe.

"Basically... I ended up liking to be in that world more than I expected, even interfered more than expected. So, I was really regretful in leaving it forever..."

"Hm? Can't you go back?" I ask I do not know exactly how his powers work

"I can go to an exactly similar universe, but not the same... Infinite paralels universe. And it's like... Even if is the same, it's not the same people you know, Right?"

"I can understand it..." I agree with him

"Continuing, the marriage and kid thing was presented to me by a local woman... She was not happy with the fact that I would disappear from her life forever..."

"Manwhore..." Shego adds, making Hector's lips twitch

"Anyway..."

Hector continues to explain his train of thought in cementing that world as a "real port" to him. Apparently, he hesitated a lot on the child part, but eventually relented when he noticed that would be for the best of... his wife(weird saying that). She would have company in his years of absence. She agreed too.

Well, it's bad... But I don't know how the... wife thinks. Is this worse than her simply being single and waiting for him? Afraid of ending up loving another man?

Anyone has their own weird way of thinking. Shego here is an example.

"So you can't go back now?" I ask "Left your children fatherless?" I raise an eyebrow at him and damn...

Hector is very good at hiding his emotions. His poker face is flawless, but he can't hide the wince. He must been feeling a lot of guilt.

"Right now? No... But I will work on a safe way to get there. I think I can go back between one and two years..." He says

"Hm... So the child would be 18 months as their oldest... Not that bad." I say to make him feel better "But you're scum." I add because he can't feel too good either

"Argh... I know, but is more from our perspective. People there are strange in this aspect... A backward world 97% water. Only islands and no continents... it becomes normal for fathers to stay a lot of time away from their hometown and children. Ask Cassandra!" Hector defends himself

"...yes. Weirdos." She nods and confirms his words while rubbing the alien dog's fur.

"So it's culturally accepted, huh?" I'm starting to get the full picture here. He was infected by their customs... It happens I guess.

A bunch of aliens took a lot of human customs while living with us in my former universe.

"Are you really accepting his bullshit? This is about you, Hector! So what now? Are you gonna spread your seed across the Omniverse??" Shego interrupts

"..." His face is weird "I can't guarantee that I will don't do it..." He says slowly

"..."

"It's not my intention, okay? But I will live for a looong time! I have time and I have options, thanks to my powers, so the things I could do make a long list." He argues

"..."

"I decided to stop living so much in the future with my overthinker mind and take the chances that life gives me. My life sometimes looks so banal... Surrounded by people that I saw from other fictional universes... It's wrong of me to try to create something more 'real'? To ground me to reality?" He asks genuinely in exasperation

"..." I have no idea.

"I have no fucking idea." Shego says my thoughts.

That's the guy who can create money, and clone women... What can he not have? Maybe he wants something out of his control... Weird, but I can't judge without being in his shoes.

"Are you bringing them here?" I ask

"... I don't know. That's why I want time. To think how I will do this." He answers with a sigh "I will conveniently have time to figure out who I am... With a positive influence and motivation now."

"..." I think I'm getting the gist of it. Yeah, with the exception of him being an absent Father for the first two years. It has no other downsides.

"Fine, fine..." Shego says "You did it, now there's no backsies. You can only own up now and do your best in the future." She says, suddenly giving good advice

"Agreed..."

"Now, the important question... These women... Are they redheads?" Shego asks while staring at his soul

Seriously? This is what is important to you??

"Pfft. No. Wrong this time." He answers immediately and in a relaxed way

"Hmm" She narrows her eyes "Are they Asian then?"

"..." Now he pauses in shock.

He puts a hand on his chin and looks flagersbasted

"Damn... I coincidentally went to the one Asian island there..." He looks impressed for some reason.

"I knew it! You fetishist bastard!" Shego accuses

"It was a coincidence. I didn't even think about that!" He argues

Shego can latch on to the most useless things. I can only shake my head at their antics. Well, better to argue about something this silly than something serious.

"Oops, Look's what we have here... Duty calls." Hector suddenly looks away and in a fast movement he is standing on his Eidolon's suit "Hero's Time!" He disappears

"..."

"...and he can use this excuse all the time." Shego huffs

True, he probably is not lying. The world needs Eidolon 24/7.

"So this is his new pet? Good boy~" Shego turns to Rover, who is on Cassandra's lap, and pats his head.

Surprisingly she likes animals. She likes them more than humans...

"And he let the dog with the Chinese girl? Ironic..." Aaaand this is Shego...

If she is not offending anyone Every 5 minutes something is wrong with her. Not surprising.

What surprises me is Cassandra, in a rare expressive moment, giving her the middle finger.

She normally only deadpans and doesn't care about almost anything, this trip apparently opened up her a bit.

"Oh!" Shego puts her hand over her chest exaggeratedly "You... Fliping me off... *Sniff*" She makes a show of removing a tear from her eye "I'm so proud of you... They grow so fast."

"..." I really can't let Shego influence Cassandra too much.

...

Third Person P.O.V.

"Like... What is your plan again?" Eidolon tilts his head to the side in confusion.

He is standing on a certain fallen villain, but...

Sometimes Hector forgot the long list of C-rank villains with ridiculous powers created by sleep-deprived, cigarette-addicted writers just to fill issues in Marvel.

"Like... You're a wall... No power-shaming and all but... You're literally a brick wall." Eidolon asks a little weirded out.

"I'm not a wall... I'm the Wall! The wall Spider-man can't crawl!" Joshua Waldemeyer, the villain in question shouts in a typical villain introduction in the 80's

" 'The wall Spider-man can't crawl'... This is weirdly cool and lame at the same time." Eidolon deadpans "So you're from Spider's Rogue gallery? The guy really has a big collection... Anyway, bad timing... The Raft was just built. You're going to a special prison to metas."

"No! It's all that Web-head fault!!" The Wall shouts in indignation

"How so?" Eidolon engages with him

"While he was jumping around fighting some freakies, an explosion engulfed me together with a wall! The bricks fused with me! And now I'm this... this... Thing!" He explains his backstory still in his 80's style

"The Thing is the other rock dude..." Eidolon quips "But I understand from where you're coming from. But you can't blame Spider-man for this... You're lucky that you're not dead."

'But seriously? Bricks fell on him and he became a wall? What drugs are the writers using? I need to ban it...' Eidolon thinks

Now a dilemma forms in his mind. He can help this dude by taking away this... [Brick Wall Physiology], but this would out his capabilities to the world.

"..." The police finally arrive while Eidolon is thinking "You know? It was this or being a red paint on the concrete." The hero addresses the Wall while he is being directed to the special car "And powers acquired in such unstable way probably will wear off, have faith."

While saying this he was thinking of investigating the criminal backstory of the guy and maybe making a stealth visit to take away his power.

Hector accompanied the Raft's construction closely, he knows it like Batman knows Arkham. He doesn't plan to allow it to become a cesspool of evil where the villains can only remain villains.

'In Old Man Logan, the comic, the villains outnumber the heroes greatly and they ganged up on them, causing the fall of the hero Society and Society in general. The world becomes Madmax...' He thinks

While watching the police taking the C-rank villain away he looks at the sky and sighs

"It's here... The Dawn of Meta Society..."

More and more people with powers will appear, aliens will not be hidden from the world, secret societies will grow bold and act openly, and conflicts will inevitably increase.

"The tutorial is over..."

...

In another part of the city, Spider-man swings away after capturing another C-rank villain

Stilt-man is a guy that has long robotic legs and... Well, that's it.

"*Huff* Where did those people come from? There's some sales of 50% off villain costumes and weird powers online?" Spider-man asks himself after landing on the parapet of a roof

"Bored? Or are you missing the Green Goblin?" He hears a voice behind him, turning around fast to see Eidolon slowly land beside him

"Eidolon... Uh, well no. Sayin' like this sounds bad that I'm complaining..." Spider-man scratches the back of his head.

Eidolon chuckles "It's okay, I can understand your feelings... Like, if they have such crappy costumes, weird powers, and nonsense motivations... It's better that they don't even go outside playing as a villain, right? Just giving us extra work..."

"Yeah! Exactly that! You summarized it pretty well..." The web-slinger nods

"Let's be grateful that is not a World-ending Crisis every day."

"I can live without a World-ending Crisis..." Spider-man agrees easily

The two fall in a comfortable silence while the two heroes watch the city below them.

But Eidolon remembers a certain topic that he wants to make Peter aware of.

"So... How is going with Gwen?" He starts laying the groundwork

"What?! Ah yes, you know..." Spider-man was surprised at first before his brain caught up "Well, pretty normal I guess."

"Did you two do 'it'?" The white-haired hero asks with his voice full of innuendo

Spider-man splutters hearing that "Wha- That... That's personal!" He answers a little affronted

Eidolon raises his hand in surrender to placate the guy "Your reaction is enough of an answer... But I have a serious motive to breach this sensitive and intimate topic. Sorry." He finally decides to talk seriously

"...?"

"Did you use the 'pocket lab' that I gave you to study samples of your own body?" Eidolon asks

"er... No."

Eidolon sighs, he is a little disappointed but not surprised. He doesn't know if is some vestige of a "writer influence" dumbing people down. Like, why didn't Tony Stark give himself the Super Soldier Serum?

Or if the people here don't have his sense of urgency in growing stronger because they don't know the dangers out there.

But these guys really don't do everything to tap into their potential.

Even Thanos dissected his own mother to better understand his deviant physiology and consequently, he made enhancements to himself later.

"Spider, that's why I gave it to you in the first place... You need to know yourself better. What if your powers changed something about you and you're allergic to something fairly common now... And it can be used against you." He instructs "Doesn't spiders get 'drunk' on caffeine? You need to understand how far those changes affect you... Not only you, but it can also affect the people around you."

"...I see." Spider-man nods seriously "I haven't thought about that. Beyond some lack of control when I just got my powers, it only had good sides... Maybe there's some hidden downside too."

"Yes... By the way... Radioactive spider, right?" Eidolon gives him a sideglance. Almost reaching where he really wants to arrive

"...yes?"

"So... Are you sure that you aren't a little radioactive yourself? Like blood, saliva... sperm."

"Dude! No..." He denies easily "But seeing Eidolon's flat look he remembers that he truly doesn't know "I mean... I don't know. I hope not."

"Don't 'hope'... Check it. You could give cancer to your partner... It happens." Eidolon says, shocking the web-slinger

That's what he wanted to talk about. In a certain universe, Spider-man body is a little more radioactive than others and he slowly kills Mary Jane with his... radioactive sperm.

Hector's universe appears to be a mix of various media... MCU, X-Men Evolution, Movies from Fox, comics, Ultimate Universe...

Who knows what is mixed on this strange plate that is this Marvel Universe?

For all he knows, Wanda and Pietro are playing Alabama and the Pym is playing 40's household with his wife, Deadpool will go even crazier and try to kill everyone tomorrow and many other crazy things.

Some things are ridiculous, but it can be true here.

"..." Spider-man is still shell-shocked by the implications "I... I..."

"Okay, okay... Calm down, nothing happened yet. Go make the tests... If there's no problem, great! If there's one we have time to solve it."

"Yes, yes. I will do it!"

Now with this awkward talk of "No creampie, use a lead-laced rubber" out of the way Eidolon decides to joke a little to make the guy relax.

"Now, this is a good opportunity for you..." He smiles conspiratorily

"Opportunity?" Spider-man asks confused

"Yes... Listen to me, you can go to your girlfriend and say that there's a serious problem and you need a... 'helping hand'. For your guy's future. For Science!" Eidolon hooks his arms around the red-and-blue hero's shoulders

If he used X-ray vision, he would see the blush on Peter's face.

Spider-man literally jumps off the roof in embarrassment and web slings away.

"Haha. Why is so fun to mess with the guy?"

....

There's despair in the air.

A plane has been hijacked. A tense situation that is still fresh on the mind of the world after the 9/11 some years ago.

But the situation is different this time. The one who hijacked the plane is not a terrorist or a villain, it's the plane's own co-pilot.

*Bam* *Bam*

Bangs echo through the plane like the tick of a clock, increasing the tension. Murmurs and cries join the sound of the pilot trying to break into the cockpit creating a cacophony of terror.

"Open it!!" The Pilot shouts while trying to catch a breath after hitting the door with a hammer.

Unfortunately, as an irony of destiny, the door of the cockpit after the events of the 9/11 had been reinforced as a preemptive measure.

"We can talk about this though!! Don't do this!!" The pilot shouts, begging the co-pilot.

The intention of the criminal becomes clear after some time... He is not doing it for money or any benefit.

The nose of the plane is slightly inclined downwards... He wants to crash the plane. A suicide... But he is not happy about going alone.

"C'mon!!!! You don't want to do this!!" He continues to lead "There are kids here, GODDAMMIT!"

But the co-pilot remains unresponsive inside the cockpit. Even the call from the command tower is ignored.

"Oh god..."

"Please..."

"This is not happening."

People sob in fear, children cry feeling the situation, some look powerless to the ceiling, some are sending messages to their families...

"I don't want to die..."

"Please..."

"Anyone... Just... Argh..."

The ray of hope comes from a passenger who was lifeless looking outside the widow... Not a ray of hope per se, more like a Black Blur...

"It's Eidolon!!" The guy doesn't even think before shouting animatedly despite the situation.

And just like that, despair and fear are pushed away by relief and hope.

The dire situation is forgotten while people try to look outside to catch a glimpse of the hero. To confirm that he is really here. Maybe that's why he always announces himself...

But even better than hearing the "I am here" phrase, it's hearing the cockpit door unlocking and Eidolon calmly walking out of it.

With a nod and a "thank god" from the pilot, Eidolon lets the man walk past him to the cockpit while he turns to the now happy passengers.

"Have no fear... Whyyy...?" Eidolon points to a kid standing on her mother's lap while looking at him in awe.

"Because you're here!" The kid answers brightly with a laugh

"You're goddam right!" Eidolon confirms "Sorry, language..."

His relaxed and joking attitude infects everyone. People saggy in relief, hugging each other, clapping and cheering, saying that love him etc.

Eidolon goes back to the cockpit, seeing the pilot communicating with the control tower.

The co-pilot remains tied to his chair by some black bindings, unconscious. He probably has some mental illness and is depressed.

Eidolon gives him a disgusted look before turning to the pilot. It's not excusable, but he understands the guy needs help... He probably hates himself as much as everyone else on this plane hates him.

"So..." Eidolon starts

"He damaged the controls. I can only stabilize a little... An emergency landing is necessary." The pilot reports

Eidolon nods "The landing strip of the destination of this plane is free for the next minutes?" Eidolon asks the control tower.

"Eh... Yes? But there's a plane scheduled to land in 14 minutes." The control tower answers through the comms

"Hm... Okay. I will personally put the plane in a free hangar. Prepare a bus to take the passengers." He declares.

After a positive response, he goes back to the passengers.

"People... I have bad News and Good News." Eidolon says and some people tense "Okay, no bad news... I'm gonna take the plane to the airport so... The good news is that you guys are early more than one hour." Eidolon jokes to nervous laughs

"Anything goes man. Just want to touch the ground."

"I'm never flying a plane again..."

"I think my legs gave out."

Seeing that they can joke now, Eidolon chuckles before sinking to the ground.

In the next second, the passengers can see darkness enveloping the windows. Would be ominous if they don't know that is Eidolon's work.

But he is here and they know that they will arrive home safely, with a good story to tell and remember.

....

Later at night, Eidolon is balancing on one foot on top of the Eiffel Tower.

His En covers the whole city of Paris and can go even further. That's a ridiculous range. The biggest radius of a En in the HxH world is Pitou with 2km. And Hector can go even further.

Hector can cover whole cities with his aura, feeling everything like he is touching it with his skin. An excellent power for a hero, but...

"Disgusting...Ugh." He trembles. Feeling like you're touching everything can be unpleasant for obvious reasons "That's a lot of rats... And people having sex. The French are really horny, huh?" He says to himself

He stays where he is, without moving, but helping some people from a distance. Practicing with his powers and senses.

"You are really attracting attention..." Suddenly he hears a voice at his side.

Surprising even him that someone can sneak up so close without being noticed

"Ancient One..." He nods at the old man.

"Trying to fish something?" The Old man asks while standing on the air

He is referring to the fact Eidolon is like a beacon of vitality at the moment. Would not be estrange for some demon, sorcerer, or monster to appear to try to devour him or something else.

"Hm... Not really. Would make things easy if they're that stupid." He shakes his head "I'm getting used to feeling the surrounds without being overwhelmed." He says and instantly shuts down his aura.

He used En a lot in Wano, that's how he caught the CP-0 hidden there and kept tabs on everything. A very useful power to a guy protecting a "small" territory.

"Oh~ Good job in controlling your presence. I can barely feel you." Ancient One Strokes his goatee impressed.

He also gives Eidolon a look and a small smile for some reason, something that the black-clad hero didn't see.

' 'Barely', huh? Old monster' ' Eidolon thinks

"Thanks. I was practicing on it. To not let things leak, you know? I'm pretty confident people will have a hard time reading my existence and future now."

If he meets David Alleyne (Prodigy) and Danielle Moonstar (Mirage) again, he bets that their powers won't be capable of scrutinizing his mind(conscious) like before.

"I see, very good. I knew that you have the talent." The old sorcerer nods

"...You knew about my soul, right?" Eidolon sideglances him "That's why you said 'As expected' when I showed talent to magic."

He is talking about the fact his soul appears to be much stronger, refined, and resilient than others.

"Yes." The Ancient One shrugs, talking exactly like Hector. And without further elaboration, he disappears.

"...I'm gonna slap that bald head one day."

"Maybe." *Pah* The Ancient One reappears behind Eidolon and slaps the back of his head. Still using one-word answers exactly like him.

"..." Eidolon runs a hand through the back of his head, but when he turns around the Ancient One already disappeared again

"Fucking old people have no filters..." He grumbles while gritting his teeth.

He swears to himself to study magic harder to get back on the guy.

.....

In his Space Station, Hector casually makes his periodic check-ups on his projects and world affairs. He is in his standard civilian form but using his Eidolon suit because is comfortable.

"So the Russians are 'secretly' assigning their team, huh? I remember some of them..." he comments while checking the line-up of Russian equivalents of Avengers.

Like always, he hacks his brain into remembering their powers, backstories, and storylines that they will be involved in.

"I think that bear guy is a mutant..." He says while tapping on his holo-keyboard

He also keeps tabs on the internet, checking popular opinions on his, and on his fellow heroes, actions, rumors, silly discursions about power scaling, and even some people asking for help in many ways.

"Nigerian prince wants to give me money? If was a Wankandan prince, I would've believed in it..." He says sarcastically

"Senate talks a lot about me and the metas but decides nothing... Typical..."

Finally, a voice interrupts him "So you just stay here sitting on your ass while navigating on the internet... I thought the hero work would be more glamourous."

A head pops off his torso.

A young girl head, with dark skin and long black hair.

"I'm working Nemesis." Hector answers with a sigh

Then he tries to press her inside again.

Nemesis is a recently summoned Character by Hector. She has Dark Matter physiology and is planned to be the "A.I." of Hector's future Hellbat Armor Symbiotic armor.

Or Hell-Nemesis armor, like is called now.

He summoned her now to raise up the relationship loyalty to 10 before he can really need the armor.

She pops off his body again.

"C'mon~ Don't you have anything more... fun~ in mind to do now?" She says flirtatiously while removing herself completely from him.

In her adult form, which is suspiciously similar to Shego's body(Hector notices), she straddles him while hugging his neck and blowing on his ear

"..." Hector remains unfazed by her hoe tactics "If you didn't showed me your loli body first..." He says flatly while staring at the screen ahead without giving her an ounce of attention

"Mou~ I don't have a definitive form. I can be how whatever you want~" She continues.

To illustrate that she makes her breasts bigger. Her short black dress climbs up because it can't fit her body anymore. Her chocolate thick butt presses on his crotch and his face is between the two mountains of softness on her chest.

"..." He remains unfazed. "Go back inside, Nemesis."

This reminds him a little of his early days with Shego.

But Nemesis is even worse than Shego. She is a manipulative, sadistic, and mischievous girl. He will never give her the satisfaction of a reaction.

If things happen, and probably eventually will happen, will be on his terms.

She pouts adorably seeing him being so cold to her.

"Don't bother our Master, Nemesis," Cortana speaks a little harshly to the new girl.

'Is she a little jealous?' Hector muses on his mind 'Is she jealous that she shares my body with her now? Women are so complicated...'

"I was just playing a little, Cortana-senpai~ Making him relax, you know? Someone needs to be the fun one." Nemesis gives the wrist device on Hector's arm a smug smile

Cortana: (≖_≖ )

"You just arrived and already want to sit by the window?" Hector asks in a non-nonsense tone "Go back inside... Now." He says a little more coldly

Nemesis: ( ˘︹˘ ) "*Huff* Fine!"

Cortana: (っ^▿^)💨

'Maybe I will need to apply what I learned on those Bratty Corrections doujins on her...' Hector thinks half joking and half serious before going back to work.

Hector continues his work in peace, only with the occasional comments of his two freeloaders. He is almost calling the night to go study magic after checking for one last time his projects.

"Master... Check this..." Cortana attracts his attention to some viral videos

He looks " 'Diary 30: Eidolon is coming to school'?" He reads it with a frown, a tickle on the back of his mind trying to bring a memory to the surface. He reads the second video " 'Diary 31: Humiliation'?... !! Oh! Oh Hell naw!" He stands up instantly

"Master?"

"No, no, no, no..." He paces around before going back to research the boy's school "It's another one of the canon events! Like with Harambe..."

"What are you doing?" Cortana asks confused

"Avoiding the Dark Timeline." He answers with determination

.....

The next day

It's possible to see a car stopped in front of a school.

A boy hesitantly gets off it, keeping his head down all the way while he walks his path.

He can hear some snickers around him. At the moment, with his mood, any laugh that he hears he will think is directed at him.

He speeds his steps, just wanting to get over the day. Till the sounds around him change. Gone are the buzz of the crowd and some gasps are the only thing cutting the silence.

The boy finds it weird and finally takes his eyes off his shoes to look around, only to see people looking above, consequently making him follow their line of sight only to his vision be filled with a black figure that drops off slowly very close to him.

"Sorry for the delay... But Eidolon really came to school." The hero says while putting an arm over the student's shoulders, and naturally starts walking with him to the school.

...

Mary Jane P.O.V.

Okay, is Hector avoiding me?

I didn't want to think about it, but we really didn't talk about the night of Harry's party. We are back on being only friends? That's it? Everything that happened that night amounted to nothing?

I turn to see him in class... Look at him staring out of the window like he doesn't give a fuck.

Just because he is hot as fuck he thinks he can do anything, right? Jerk.

He looked back!

What a heck! Why did I avoid eye contact? I will turn again and stare at his soul!

And I do just that!

"..." Me and I stay in a stare contest for an unknown amount of time.

Did that guy doesn't need to blink?? Look at him smirking... Bastard... With his super white teeth and sharp jaw.

Seriously? Am I the only one seeing that he is super hot?? It's like there's a spell in everyone to not notice it. Only Liz noticed it too after getting close.

And that slut start annoying him.

Apparently, our stare contest was destined to end in my defeat because I was the one looking to the back, and the teacher smacked my head with his papers.

Seeing him chuckle made me notice that he predicted that.

I'm saying, that guy has a bad personality...

.....

See? Bad personality...

I approach him talking with Peter, Ned, and Gwen by the lockers. And by the way, he is smirking, he is making fun of Peter in some way.

I arrive at his side and greet them "Hey, guys. What is so funny?" I ask with a smile, touching Hector's side with my shoulder.

Now that I know him better, I can see him tensing a little. Seriously, what's going on?

"Nothing. Just Peter having zero confidence in himself and fanboying over Richards and Stark." Hector answers casually

I can imagine that.

We continue to talk for a little while, the other three talking about internships... Gwen and her shaky time on Oscorp, with all that Green Goblin thing. Apparently, the group that she is part of remains unaffected for now. But nothing is certain.

Ned and his recent internship and Peter trying for Stark and Baxter, hence the initial conversation.

Peter, Ned, and Gwen say goodbye to us and we are finally alone.

"Wanna a ride home?" He asks casually

"Yes, Thank you." Finally! Not running away anymore, huh?

This time he came on his car, normally he uses his bike, so I can stare at his profile while he drives in silence.

Is his skin even better now? Seriously, I will ask about his skincare routine. And if he says "water and soap" again I will rage.

He eventually stops on an empty street, a little far away from my home, and turns to me.

"Well... We need to talk." He says

"Really?" I say sarcastically.

"..." He gives me a deadpan stare as answer

Okay, calm down MJ. He is not your boyfriend yet.

"..."

"..."

Hector looks at me and I look at him.

"Well..." I nudge

"...I sincerely don't know how to start." He admits with a sigh "I mean... What are we even?"

"...good question."

He turns again to look at the front, looking away from me "Let's start with the end then... I think it's for the better that we not see each other." He finally says.

"..." Okay... That hurt more than I expected "W-why?" Not my voice cracking

"..." He gives me a gentle and apologetic look. He noticed. "As much as cliche will sound... But it's not you, it's me." He says with a half-wry smile.

Despite myself, I chuckle a little. "So what is your problem, Hector?" I say sarcastically, taking the opportunity to discreetly wipe off the tears accumulating in my eyes.

"..." I think he noticed again, by his frown "I like you, Mary Jane Watson. I really do. Seriously... I'm surprised myself that I like you."

This would make me squeal with joy some minutes ago "...Buuut?"

"...But...I think we're in different places and we will never align down the line." He says seriously

"Whoa... That's a powerful statement."

"Yeah... And you don't know how much it saddens me." He reaches for my face, his thumb caressing my cheek "Our 'now', that night, was such a beautiful, but unfortunately temporary, coincidence. Like an astronomical event... I enjoyed every second of it."

"..." Fuck this guy! He is smooth... My heart just skipped a beat! I just want to kiss him and forget about this talk.

"But was bound to end... After the summer vacation, I will start college. I will take a more active role in managing my family business. My time will be so limited! I can't give you what you expect and deserve... Hence why we are in different places."

"..."

"And down the line..." he sighs "You will seek your actress career, maybe travel to L.A... We are on different paths. And the bifurcation came too early."

Okay, I get what he is saying.

We really don't have a lot in common. And he is already going to be an adult, full of responsabilities and all that, while I... I'm this dumb high school girl.

"Don't cry..." I hear him say softly

"I'm not..." I sniff to swallow the tears "Can't we at least try?" I ask weakly, taking his hand into mine.

Damn, I sound so desperate... So weak... That's not what I expected of myself. But... But... I don't want to lose him... He is such a great guy! We hit off so well. He is the first that made me feel these things.

"..." He pauses.

There's something in his eyes... Some conflict maybe, I think I can guess is it by the way he tightens his jaw.

"I'm also not being completely honest with you..." He says after some time

"What do you mean?"

"There's..." It's hard for him to say.

My brain surprises me by guessing fast and my mouth finishes his phrase.

"...another." I say in realization and take my hand off his almost like is burning

"...yes." He admits with a serious nod

"...haha. I see. I see." I laugh for some reason and turn away from him

"Before your mind goes to dark places. I did not hide it from you... Like you, it was not official during Harry's party." He turns me away gently and I don't resist "And is not something that you bring up in that situation..."

Okay. I can be reasonable and understand. It's not like we are a thing. He has no obligation to tell me anything.

" 'It was not'... So it's official now?" I ask catching the deep meaning of his words

"Let's say I have been given an ultimatum..." He nods slowly

"So the... other..." I spat "Made you choose and you choose her." Oh god, I'm going to cry hard. Hold up, MJ.

"No!" He denies fast "In truth, it's much weirder than you think..." He looks away with a strange face

He turns to me again "She kind of accepted that I... double timed..." I had never seen him so unsure in saying something

"What??"

"She knows about you too and she doesn't care. I mean, you too will never meet probably... She is older." He tries to explain

Is he being groomed? Sincerely, I can't imagine it.

"So she accepted that you had side chicks??" I ask in disbelief

"There's no side chicks. Everyone would be treated the same." He says more sure of himself now.

"So you would have two girlfriends? Or not dating exclusively?? That's ridiculous!"

"Finally! That's the normal reaction!" He, for some reason, sighs in relief and sits straight in his seat after hearing my words.

"..."

"So technically she accepted sharing. I could've kept you in the dark, but it would not sit well with me."

"Thank you? I guess..." I say unimpressed.

I mean, it's the bare minimum. But on the other hand, I know he is better than most at coming clean... And again, he owes me nothing.

I'm trying to stop being an entitled bitch.

But seriously, is he being groomed? I think this older woman, or whatever, accepted it because she knew other women would hardly accept it. So she would be the one left. Acting like she is not being forceful, but in truth is snaring him...

What a manipulative bitch!

Also... Is Hector worth all of it?

I look at him again... Okay, he is a catch. I can see how some wouldn't mind being side chicks...

But is not for me... I think...

"Unless you want the same deal too?" Hector turns to me and asks with a raised eyebrow

"What?" Is he...

"Sorry, but I have to ask... I will regret not asking... But would you like to continue this... this relationship knowing that I'm not dating exclusively?"

"..." He is really doing it. He is fucking serious while asking it. "Are you serious?" I need to make sure

He sighs "As I said, I need to ask... Even if I can guess the answer." He looks away for an instant before turning to me again and taking my hand between his "Do you want to continue to see where this goes? Not thinking much about how it ends... Enjoying the ride. Enjoying each other."

"..." And I fucking hate that I'm considering it. This guy is so... UGH.

I take my hand trapped between his two bigger ones "And what would it entail, Hector? We're gonna be sex friends? Each other booty calls? We are gonna date while also being allowed to see other people? An open relationship?"

He winces a little at my words. Giving me a little satisfaction "Yeah... About that... It would be more like... I'm the one that can see other people while you... can't..." He says slowly, his facial expression like he waiting for an explosion.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...are you serious?" Now I'm in disbelief.

"Yeah... But hear me out, it's not as bad as it looks."

"Ah really?? Because to me it looks really bad! Fucking bad!! Like you want a harem or something!!" I finally explode

"..."

"So what? I would be your obedient little girlfriend while you have other girlfriends too??" I cross my arms and frown at him hard

"Okay... I can understand your anger. But it's not like I'm forcing you into anything, or that was cheating on you for months, or asking you to marry me while I have other wives... So calm down. You can be angry by my suggestion, but you're blowing things off proportion a little." He says seriously

"..." He has a point... I can't help but deflate a little.

"The thing is... This will sound a little narcissistic, but I believe that I could do better as... boyfriend than any other. With the exception of not having much time." He says

"..." I keep my arms crossed and wait for him to present his case

"I like you and I know you like me."

"..."

"We're gonna continue to see each other, going out and all that... As an experiment. I'm not trapping you. If you want to leave it at any time, you can do it. If you want to go for another, better guy. You can do it. Just inform me before you do anything..."

"...why?"

"Because would be cheating..."

"Look at you!! So it would be cheating if I do that, but not if you do that!!" I point at him. Is this guy not listening to himself?

"...yes." He nods "That's why I'm presenting this previous agreement! If you don't want to, don't do it! Why are you so angry?? I'm presenting a solution where all parts can be happy!" He says in genuine exasperation

"That you can be happy!! You're asking for permission to cheat!!"

"No. There's no main girl or side girl... There's no affair if all relationships are serious to me. Believe in me that I would treat you exactly as I would treat a girlfriend, except..."

"You would be fucking other people and I can't do the same." I say sarcastically

This makes him give a tired sigh "So you want to fuck multiple dudes? That's it??" He somewhat snaps at me

"...no."

"It's not about sex to me, Mary Jane. If it was, I would press it on the party." He looks offended now.

"..." That's true, I guess.

"I know that it sounds like it... Most people would assume that a guy wants multiple girls to be his booty calls or whatever. But I'm not like that... Sex is easy for me to acquire. I want the connection... Our connection was such a beautiful accident. I simply don't want to give up on it." He sits tired on his seat and rants a little.

"..."

"I like you all, and I can't choose." He sighs "And the other didn't make me choose... So I thought... I thought... *Haah* Forget about it. You're absolutely right." He looks a little defeated, looking away.

He continues "I thought we could have a high school romance... An isolated high school romance... Where my...'adult' life wouldn't interfere. Just us... Being teenagers. Nothing a lot about consequences, learning from each other, making some memories... Good and bad. And taking the experience to the rest of our lives." He confess

He turns to me and gives me a wry, but relaxed smile "I thought I at least could've been honest and upfront on that... But is strange to be honest while doing something wrong... Not that I think this is wrong. But let's say, for convenience sake, that what is not socially accepted is wrong." He shrugs.

"..." Wait... That's it?

Are we over?

He starts the engine of the car and starts driving me to my home.

"Yes... It would be completely unfair to you... I simply thought that I could've made up for it by being a very good boyfriend. Sorry." He says without even looking at me. "Sorry that I'm a hypocrite... But I can't accept you with other men to level the playfield. The moment you kissed or did anything with other men, our relationship would be over forever. "

He continues while driving and looking at the road "Because if I did a good job you wouldn't feel the need, right? Or you would be a cheating woman." He chuckles mirthlessly. I would be more offended if I'm not shocked "The two options are good enough reasons to end the relationship. Yes, hypocrite. But that's how I think... those are my terms."

"It's non-negotiable. No girl of mine can have side men. I will not force you on it... I will not watch over you to make sure you're not cheating. But I would know. I would know and then is over... I will simply walk away from your life. No drama. No fight. Nothing." He concludes and remains silent for the rest of the ride

"..." I feel... I feel like I lost... For some reason.

I didn't even give him an answer.

But I fought so hard against it... What did I expect?

"And here we are..." He says while stopping in front of my house

"..." I didn't get out

But Hector doesn't force me either. He simply continues to stare at me with a gentle smile.

"You're not wrong, MJ1." He goes back to that nickname "Like I said... The problem is all on me." He sighs and takes my hand again.

I watch him bring it to his lips and kiss my knuckles.

I'm gonna cry... This is really happening... It's over. Dead in the crib... I wanted to... I wanted more with him.

"You surprised me with how of a good woman you are..." He caresses the place he kissed with his thumb "Don't change. Again, you're not wrong." He looks at me again with a sad smile.

I really want to simply kiss him and forget this conversation ever existed.

Just keep me in the dark like any other asshole, you asshole.

"One day you will find someone that will see exactly what I see... And he will be capable of giving you his 100%" He smiles sadly again "It's simply... a pity."

Don't act nice to me, jerk. It's making it hard for me to hate you!

Like a robot, I leave his car and walk to my home.

That's it, Mary Jane. Your taste in men is as horrible as your mother's. You need to fall for the guy that can't keep on his pants, huh?

And you swore to never cry because of men too... Idiot...

...

Third Person P.O.V.

Super-senses are not as great to have as would people think. Half of the time you become aware of things that would be better to remain unknown...

Like the crying of the girl you like because of you.

Hector sighs for like a hundred times already. Tightening his grip on the wheel, in a rare show of control loss he really breaks and rips off it from the panel while hearing Mary Jane's muffled sobs in her room.

He sighs again...

He can't even "unhear" it... His senses unconsciously focus on her. Always keeping him painfully aware of her state.

With [Crazy Diamond]'s power, he repairs the broken wheel and continues to drive in silence. His jaw is tight while he unblinkingly stares at the road.

'This ending surprised no one, Hector. Why are you like that?' He admonishes himself

"You could've manipulated her a little." Nemesis talks to me "Made her fall harder for you. To the point where she would accept that you have a harem."

"..."

"You made the right call, Master." Cortana says her piece "I know you... It's for the best that you have a clear conscience. You would not be happy or satisfied otherwise."

"...thank you. I need to live for my self-proclaimed title of 'Honest Scum'" He jokes mirthlessly

"You are so complicated..." Nemesis rolls her eyes "Just do what you want."

"It's called basic decency." I answer equally sarcastically to her " My grandma always said that 'your rights end where the other rights start'. My desires and wants can't trample over other people."

"Humans trample over others all the time... You're superior to them. That's YOUR RIGHT. What matters that you play with their feelings a little?" She argues back

"Matters to me..."

....

Hector P.O.V.

What is the best way to solve problems of the heart? To a man... is to drown yourself in some work.

That's why I'm now in my main hospital releasing my frustration on my old rival... Paperwork.

"$1.200,00 for an ambulance ride?? This health system is a fucking joke..." I throw the notes on my table.

Why? Did they catch living dinosaurs to extract the oil and make gas?? Is the driver a fucking C.I.A. agent?

Fucking mafia... That's what this is. And my Uncle was all for it.

 And I can't take it off my head cancer is the century scam. I'm not sure about my other world, but I think people keep cancer as it this so hard and expensive to deal disease on purpose.

Are you saying no one can remove cells and replenish them easily here? In the world where the creator of the Super Soldier Serum used convenient Vita Rays to juice a guy?

My ass... Look at those bills. The guy is treated for cancer and has a fucking lifetime debt.

"Let me extend the payment date without fees..." I type on my computer.

I'm slowly introducing new policies to help the people. Not very popular with the board... But fuck it. All for the better that they're jumping off and I'm buying all the shares of my hospitals back.

When I have 100% I will finally introduce revolutionary and cheap methods of treatment...

Yes, They will probably try to kill me. The Pharmaceutical Companies and all that. Hmm, maybe I should talk with Emma Frost as Hector.

Anyway, I'm fucking Eidolon. They can't kill me. And this will be years from now... I have to prepare.

*Haah* And this is another frustrating thing.

I have so much to give to the world... healing chambers, protestic cybernetics, that robotic surgery machine... Doctors will be capable of operating in micro proportions with them. The VR goggles that can be used to transmit images direct to the brain, allowing blind people to see and sooo muuuch more.

And here I am.

Can't introduce fucking anything.

If I do that... Well, the military is only the first that will knock on my door.

I need some political power too. I need to use the college to go out as a genius in this medical field too.

Okay, Hector. Calm down. I think I'm projecting my bad mood on this.

I sigh again...

Okay, in two or three years you will be capable of making a change in the whole world, Hector.

For now... Let's lower some bills.

.....

Third Person P.O.V.

New York

In the middle of the day, two women are making smacking sounds against each other.

She-hulk and Titania fight through the streets. All sorts of moves are displayed while one tries to get the Upper hand over the other, small shockwaves echo with each crash.

"Bitch, can you get off my hair??" She-hulk shouts while throwing Titania over her shoulder

"No, till I paint the street green with your face!!" Titania answers while trying to bring She-hulk in a submission.

Around them, after the people clear the area to a somewhat safe space they stop to watch the fight. Typical modern behavior is where they film and watch it in a circle.

At least they are taking cover, somewhat...

During the fight, people notice Eidolon himself slowly floating down to the top of a car. Watching the dispute with his arms crossed under his mantle.

His sheer presence is enough to silence everyone.

"..." She-hulk and Titania pause mid-fight.

The two looked at him from the ground.

"Please don't mind me... Continue." Eidolon gestures calmly "Unless you want my help, Ms. Walters."

Jennifer grins a thim and *Boom* punches Titania away, taking advantage of her distraction.

"I got this!" She says to him and jumps on the other big woman to resume the fight.

"Be mindful of the people..." It's Eidolon's last words to them before he continues to watch the fight in silence.

"..."

The moos is a little strange. The seriousness of the situation is forgotten because of him. Like the serious fight becomes a spar.

"So... Are you not gonna stop them?" A civilian woman asks Eidolon in an unsure voice

"You never separate a women's fight... It's on the Men(Bro) Code." Eidolon answers as a matter of fact.

"..."

"It's true tho." A guy says

"I never heard of the code before, but I know about what he is talkin' about." Another confirms

"It's written in our subconscious." Another nods

"..."

Eidolon chuckles a little "Jokes aside... She-hulk got it. No need for me to interfere. This is also a good learning experience. The world can't depend solely on me."

He explains more seriously "I appeared so that you guys can feel safe and don't worry, I will fix anything they destroy."

Even if he doesn't completely trust the heroes. He still can't deny that they will be his allies if a huge crisis appears. He can't coddle them too much.

And yes, She-hulk really got this. She is in a league apart of Titania. The only limitation is her inexperience and her own mental blocks that don't allow her to access her full strength.

Maybe she is afraid of hurting the people around her, or even Titania. Maybe she is not even aware of that hidden strength. Who knows...

But now, with Eidolon's presence, she relaxed a little and is letting go. Completely dominating the fight against her opponent.

The black-clad hero's presence is also a constant weight on Titania, putting an invisible pressure on her mind.

Suddenly Titania snaps "FUCK IT! I'm gonna take you down with me!!" She shouts and savagely punches She-hulk in the face, making the green amazonness strumble back.

"Oh~ I felt that..." She-hulk holds her cheek, a savage grin on her face, and parts to the counter-attack.

People are usually afraid of getting hit, getting hurt... It's one of the first lessons in martial arts. To know how to get hit and to push forward despite that. To Not allow your battle prowess to diminish because of the pain. Let the adrenaline take over.

Jennifer Walter, the former mild-mannered lawyer is finally experimenting it first-hand. She punches Titania in the guts so hard that the muscular redhead is lifted from the ground a meter and doubles over. Almost falling on her knees to the ground.

She-hulk, from inexperience, doesn't take the opportunity, and Titania shoots from her position to crash with the green woman's stomach, holding her waist and carrying her to crash into any obstacle.

And that's where she messed up...

Her move of carrying She-hulk to beat her in any place would take the two to a small shop with people inside.

Before they can even leave the street to cross the sidewalk, they are suddenly stopped by an irresistible force.

She-hulk is suddenly out of Titania's grasp, and Eidolon is between the two while facing the villain.

"Well... It seems this fight ends here. Good job, She-hulk." He says flatly. His tone leaves nothing to the discussion.

"..." Titania almost hyperventilates while being stared at by him.

She discovered now that seeing him in vídeos and seeing him personally are two entirely different things. In her proud brain, she still thought that she was on the same level as him.

But now, even if she is taller than him (As tall as Thor, Eidolon notices), she feels like he is much larger than her.

"You can turn yourself in now." Eidolons state while giving her an uninterested look.

Titania's fist clenches, her body tense, while he stares at him.

To her credit, she eventually got over his pressure and stepped up to attack.

"I will at least take a piece of you with me!!" She barks while going for a punch

"..." Eidolon looks at her slow movement with contempt. Brutes... So easy.

And that's also where people can clearly see the difference between Eidolon and other heroes like She-hulk.

To the bystanders, She-hulk and Titania's fight was impressive. Fast and strong blows that could dislocate the air. It's not for nothing that so many stay behind to watch the deadly, but mesmerizing, show.

But now they see that compared to Eidolon it's like a drunken bar fight compared to a master.

Eidolon doesn't even put a stance...

Titania steps forward to give him a right hook with all her body weight.

Eidolon casually lifts his foot and puts it beneath Titania's foot that is stepping forward, in a smooth motion on her heel he makes her step too much. Forcing her heel to slide on the concrete, forcing her to open in a split and miss the punch by a great margin.

In the next instant, he punches her throat with the knuckles on his fingers, and then, with the same knuckles, he "slaps" her chin, making her see stars by shaking her brain.

It's over just with that.

Three moves.

His hands barely left his mantle and he struck with incredible precision. Anyone can see how easily it was and how contemptuously he did that. Like an adult playing with a kid.

It could even be considered beautiful, the flawless execution.

Some people even clapped.

"Dude... You're making me look bad." She-hulk jokes behind him

"You did most of the work." He says humbly.

She only rolls her eyes at him.

"By the way, why are you holding her like that?" She-hulk asks

After striking her chin, Eidolon grasped her jaw/neck and is holding her face up.

"To allow the passage of air. I healed her too." He says while holding the unconscious woman firmly

"I see... You're the pro here." She-hulk concedes "And that throat punch was really necessary? My own throat hurt only by seeing it..." She massages her own neck to illustrate that

Eidolon rolls her eyes "I took her down fast and efficiently... If I beat her more, people would say that I enjoy beating up women. If I do it efficiently, I'm too harsh... There's no winning with you guys."

"So you finally figured it out!" She laughs and slaps his back amicably

He notices that this time, she is not sending him sliding on the ground. So she has a better control over her strength.

The two talk a little about how the situation reached this point. Apparently, Titania doesn't like that She-hulk is stronger than her.

Something about her feats of being a strong woman being offuscated by the appearance of the female Hulk. Very childish...

"Our strength attracts challenge... But is not your fault." Eidolon says to her

"Yeah, I know... She is crazy." Jennifer agrees with a sigh, still feeling a little guilty over her problems affecting other people.

At some point, someone interrupts their talking by shouting from the crowd

"Choke me too, Daddy~!"

"..." Eidolon pauses and almost throws Titania on the ground.

"..." Jennifer stared at him, her lips trembling before she lost the fight with her laugh "Hahahahaha! So you are also catcalled!"

"Yeah... It comes from the profession. Using tight clothes does that. But I even use a mantle over it..." He says, making her laugh even harder "Pro Tip: Don't search your name online."

This makes her stop laughing "Too late..." She deadpans

Eidolon visibly jokingly winces "The fanarts?"

"The fanarts too." She confirms "Like... With my cousin??? People!" She says in disbelief

Eidolon chuckles while shaking his head "Anything that can relate is an excuse for a... 'ship'. You haven't heard about me and Thor after our fight?" He raises an eyebrow.

She boisterous laugh at that.

"You laugh now... Don't Forget that you just fought an equally fit and muscular woman..." Eidolon says flatly

"..." This makes her shut up quickly again

"Wanna bet with of the two of you will be given a dick by the artists?" He twists the knife deeper

"..." No one thought that would be possible for a green-skinned person to pale before now "I'm a lawyer. I will sue the assholes." She clenches her fist, half-joking and half-serious.

The two continue to engage in the talk while waiting for the police to take Titania. Eidolon asks how she is acclimating herself to the changes, offering another lesson and spar, Jennifer flirting with him and asking out.

"I could pay you some drink as thanks..." She grabs his shoulder and wiggles her eyebrows at him

"Careful... EidolonxShe-hulk could become a thing on the cosplay porn tag." He deadpans, making her laugh again

Then Eidolon suddenly turns his head fast to look at the sky.

"What's wrong?" She-hulk asks

In the next second a multicolored light crosses the clouds and disappears between the skyscrapers very far away from them.

"A intergalatic visit..." He says before saying goodbye and flying away.

....

The multicolored beam of light hits the ground of a park.

The people around it ran away in panic, but still kept an eye on it.

The beam of light finally ends, leaving the ground scarred with some circular inscriptions and a single man standing in the Middle.

A sonic boom is heard not long after and Eidolon lands close to the circle.

"Eidolon!!" A voice excitedly calls

"Thor, you son of... Odin!" The two approach each other

Thor and Eidolon stand in front of each other and they crash in a handshake that creates a shockwave, pushing leaves and trees away.

*PAH*

They boisterously laugh afterward.

.....

"I'm telling you, my friend. It was a huge mess. Jörmungandr poison on Yggdrasil made it practically unusable. I needed to be sent personally by my Father to all corners of the Nine Realms to keep things peaceful. Mediate conflicts, defeat rebels, capture criminals..." Thor says while gobbling some food.

The two heroes are now in an open restaurant, eating at a table on the sidewalk. Obviously attracting a lot of attention from the bystanders.

And the waitress freaking out was a little funny to the two.

"Sounds rough..." Eidolon comments while reclining on the back legs of his chair.

He is not eating anything while Thor enjoys his banquet.

"I missed Midgard food!" The Asgardian exclaims

"Heh~ Does booze and cooked boar lose the appeal?"

"Never!! But I can't deny that you guys advanced a lot on the food aspect!" Thor says while filling his face with junk food.

"Now... Do you visit here means business?" Eidolon has to ask

"More or less... In the confusion, an unknown number of criminals and dangerous people fled to unknown parts of the Nine Realms. My Father suspects that some are Hidden here." Thor confesses, with a serious face

"That can be a problem... Can't Heimdall see them?" Eidolon asks with an equally serious face

Thor shrugs "Heimdall abilities are well-known so..."

"...would not be weird for people to create counter-measures." Eidolon completes with a sigh. "So your Father sent you here as our guardian?"

"Yes, things are fairly peaceful now in the rest of the Nine Realms."

'It's also a reward then... A vacation.' Eidolon deduces on his mind. Less worried now.

The fugitives must be some chumps

But he made a mental note to check with the Ancient One later.

Suddenly a black car aggressively stops close to them and Black Widow gets out of it.

"Hey boys, what's up?" She greets them cheerfully

"Black Widow! Sit with us." Thor greets equally excitedly in seeing a "companion of arms" again

"Black Widow..." Eidolon nods at her calmly "You're very blatant to a spy. Maybe you're losing your touch..." He comments about her arrival

"..." She narrows her eyes at him and kicks his chair away.

If there was any other person in his place, having the chair kicked while reclining yourself would make him fall embarrassingly.

"..." But Eidolon remains locked in place. Floating. "I know that destroying people's proprieties is an Avenger thing, but please control yourself a little more." Eidolon mocks with a flat tone while bringing the chair back telekinetically.

"Ass..." She rolls her eyes at him before sitting in a chair

"Eh... Did you two have some bad blood?" Thor asks while awkwardly looking between them

"Nah." Eidolon answers "I'm simply paying back from her annoyance in always trying to take samples of my DNA, figure out my identity, attract me to some problematic terrorist situation etc, etc, etc."

Natasha huffs "Give me a break... It's my job."

"And that's the only reason I didn't hold it against you personally." Eidolon points at her "But you can't blame me for annoying you too."

"Fair enough." She shrugs "But things would be simple if you are willing to work with us more actively... I can pay you a drink now." She offers

"So that you can try to take my saliva? No, thanks." He replies with a done tone of voice "And no. I have my own group."

"So paranoic~ You and Fury would be best friends, or would try to kill each other." She says merrily

"Isn't trying to kill each other how the best friendships start and are strengthened? Look at me and Thor." The three share a laugh over it

"But c'mon~ Why are you resistant against it? Come to the cool club, we have Thor!" Natasha says pointing to the god stuffing himself in more human food.

"That will be debatable after I tell him what you guys did with his girlfriend." Eidolon's eyes close in malicious crescentes.

"Jane? What did you guys do?" Thor pauses and slowly turns to Natasha

"We put her under surveillance..." Natasha answers slowly

"Cameras on the bathroom..." Eidolon adds with a smirk

Thor's eyebrows shot to his hairline in disbelief and anger.

"Fury did it!" Natasha throws her boss under the bus immediately "And to be fair, was a team of women only that are watching her." She adds

"..." Thor looks at Eidolon and he nods "Don't worry, I took the cameras away. Now they only watch her street."

Thor calms down, but still appears annoyed.

"It was for her protection..." Natasha tries to add

"Like with Steve?" Eidolon asks with another malicious smile

"...many people want a piece of Captain America. We are also helping him acclimate himself to the new age." Natasha argues

"Putting the niece of the woman he loved as his neighbor is a good way to... 'acclimate' someone, I bet." Eidolon comments while acting nonchalant

Thor gives Natasha a look "Dick move..." Even he recognizes it

"...How do you know that?" She can't help but ask. The guy is too prepared.

"..." He gives her a look

"All right, forget that I asked..." She throws her hands in the air and reclines back on her seat " 'You're Eidolon'. Bleh!" She says with a deep tone of voice to mock his way of talking

He chuckles at her annoyed act "By the way, if you didn't tell, Steve. I will tell." He gives her na ultimatum

"...I will tell fury." She relents "In truth, I also didn't like it very much." She sighs "It was really a dick move. With Hidden intentions."

The two keep their silence till a turbine sound reaches their ear.

Iron Man suddenly drops from the sky and straightens himself while retracting his helmet

"Why didn't you guys call me??" He asks while unceremoniously sitting at their table "Chef! Shawarma, please! To everyone!"

.....

On an unsuspecting day, Hector took a decision.

In a random hospital in Europe, Eidolon walks inside like it's normal for a 6'4'' hero clad in black to be there.

...

"Are you sure about this?" Earlier Helena asks Hector while he uncharacteristic puts on his hero clothes slowly

"I'm prepared..." He answers

.....

"Excuse me... Can you point me to the Pediatric Section?" Eidolon asks softly

The receptionist, distractedly, looks up to answer before pausing in shock. Only after some minutes she shakily points to a plaque signalling the floor.

"Thank you." He nods and walks away.

Everyone's eyes following him

...

"You are doing more than necessary already. You know how they will react eventually." Helena continues

"I know..."

...

"Hello there~" Eidolon smiles while walking in the Pediatric Oncology section.

The kids excitedly ran to him, the ones that could

"Hehe~ So you guys know me? I'm flattered." He says "I came here to visit my fellow heroes."

...

"People will never be satisfied..." Helena says

"You're right."

...

Eidolon goes to each kid. To each room.

Talking with them. Putting his palm over them...

And giving them a new chance of life.

He does this in many hospitals around the world.

.....

"They will resist..." Helena argues

"I'm more stubborn than them."

.....

"I understand that you don't trust me, but this can be her last chance...." Eidolon says softly to a couple shielding their daughter from him

"I will not let you touch her! I don't know what you will do to her!" The Father says accusingly, while the wife is behind him

"Sir, I'm a busy man... I don't have the time and energy to save everyone. This could be the last time that I will be in this hospital."

"I will not trust you with her life!" They look somewhat religious

"..." Eidolon bows his head "I'm begging you. For her sake..."

"..!"

The mother eventually nudges her husband's sleeve "Babe... Please... We have nothing else..."

The two are on the verge of crying. The battle between their beliefs and the hope blooming in their chest is fierce.

The husband looks at Eidolon bowing his head to them.

They open the way

.....

"You are giving them fuel to criticize you." Helena sighs "A weakness to them to explore. This is not like you..."

"I have grown... I'm strong. Eidolon can take whatever they throw at him."

.....

Sitting on a playground area with recently healed children, Eidolon let the girls braid his now ridiculous long hair, while he tells some stories using holograms.

"So Darth Vader walked into the temple..."

"Eidolon what type of story you're told them?" A nurse raises her eyebrow at him

"Eh... About the younglings..."

"Eidolon?!?"

"Wait... Did you hear it?" The hero suddenly stops and moves his head like he is hearing from far away "Feminine bathroom on the second floor..." He says with urgency and disappears in a blur.

The nurse calls other nurses and other doctors in a panic.

...

"..." Helena doesn't have anything more to say

"Thank you for trying to convince me against it for my sake, Helena. I appreciate it..." Hector says softly

"..."

"I'm an overthinker... But sometimes is better to be like those dumb main characters and simplify things..." He continues and stands up to look at her. "Obviously, there will be a lot of repercussions, but..."

On his face, was the biggest and brightest smile that she had seen on him.

Not a smirk. A genuine smile.

"..." She is taken off her loop by the sight

"Saving kids is not wrong."

....

The doctors and nurses walked into the bathroom to see Eidolon holding a small baby in his arms.

A woman is crying on the ground hysterically. Trash, blood and water are everywhere.

From the mess, the awful situation came to light...

A mother tried to flush her baby on the toilet. After being unsuccessful, it tried to throw the baby in the trash.

Eidolon feels unspeakable anger, but nothing of it is shown on his face while he cleans the baby with his powers.

"All right, all right... You survived. You're so strong, I'm so proud of you." He says while balancing the baby gently "Don't worry..."

"...I'm here."

...

.....

A.N.: IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ

Hello there

(Now that we are not in a pirate world anymore, I will stop using the Ahoy)

I have some news, but first about the chapter...

Now we can see the effect that the One Piece world, and being a father, have on our MC.

Before the travel, the guy was in his darkest moment. His revenge, seeing the evil of the world, doubting if is really worth it...

He decided to not be a pussy and stick around. Push forward even though all the shit. Despite the world and himself screaming that would be better to simply give up or go in his villain arc.

Well, he was rewarded with good experiences thanks to that.

He is more optimistic now and willing to take the first steps forward in making changes. A leap of faith... Trying to trust the world to appreciate his efforts and learn with him.

We saw parallels too of his actions as Eidolon. But some wholesome stuff instead of only evil...

And now I ask you... Is it a coincidence that the wholesome stuff and the nice people appeared to him now?

The thing is that good in the world always existed, but he was only seeing the bad stuff because he was blinding himself of it.

Making himself a hero that cleans the shit of humanity. Obviously, he will get dirty.

But he learned in the One Piece world to adopt a positive outlook in life, maybe an even simplistic way to see life.

I think that is the most important lesson to learn with One Piece... Your will and intentions mold you and the world around you.

And if you have enough will you can change your life and the life of the people around you. That and strength. Strength can determine how far your positive influence can go.

But mainly, change always starts from inside yourself.

Maybe that was the problem with Batman... He allowed himself to be "contaminated" by the gloominess of Gotham and his trauma.

He fights gloominess with gloominess.

A reactive solution that will not change anything.

Superman on the other side... He can hear everything around the world. So don't you guys think that he is exposed to much more shit of humanity than Batman??

But he didn't allow it to taint him. He continues helping people and trying to inspire them. His alien status stops him from interfering too much(maybe from the best).

But he is holding the things to humanity, buying time for humanity to learn and improve.

Hector is trying to be the best of both worlds. A little of Batman and Superman... after he tilted more to the dark side, now he finally balanced himself thanks to the travel.

A hero who can make people feel at ease and safe; and a hero that can scare the villains so much that they tremble in his presence.

His good side inspires people to follow in his footsteps and be good too... and his dark side is a scary enough deterrent to stop bad acts around the world.

Let's see how things will unfold now. Must be full of challenges trying to be a good guy... we know that. He knows that. But he will do it nonetheless.

An example of this mindset is the unexpectable harem. From an outside perspective is a silly and indecent thing... But Hector takes it seriously. So if Hector treats it seriously. If that is his attitude. So the harem is a serious thing. People can criticize, but what matter is what comes from him.

This also go with dreams... people can laugh at our silly dreams(One Piece world again). But if you take it seriously. It's serious! Never let anyone say otherwise.

Till this day, some people treat games and animes as silly and childish things. But the people that work on it, take it seriously... It's a strong industry. Moving a lot of money. NO outside can laugh of the efforts of the people that work on it.

This is also something that we can apply in our daily lives, my friends. I already talked about that.

Your positive attitude has the power to change the world around you and your life too.

This reminds me that one time was drenched wet by a car. Haha. Literally exactly like in those movie scenes to show how crappy your day is going. I've never seen that happening in rea life.

And I laughed. I was in such a good mood that day, I laughed hard and gave the car a thumbs up sarcastically. Some people close laughed at me, but seeing I did not take it seriously laughed with me even harder. Some people in a bar nearby offered me a towel and I continued with my life.

Now this is a funny memory, instead of an unlucky crappy moment in my life. And it changed because of my attitude at the time.

 Let's take advantage of the new year and make an objective to improve our lives, my friends. Starting how we see the world.

Acting miserable, attracts misery. Thoughts and attitude have power.

The first step is the hardest. After that, be consistent. Let's be better next year. I will not wish that your dreams come true, but that all the hard work you guys do, pays off next year.

Now the bad News... I'm going in Hiatus.

In truth, I planned to go on hiatus when the OP arc ended. But for the people that didn't like One Piece that much and stuck around.. I think they deserve a Marvel chapter.

The truth, my dear readers... I'm tired. Maybe burn out.

I love this story, but I feel that I need some time away from it.

In truth, I'm writing some other stories to myself and I find them much more enjoyable. Writing super fast and easily...

Maybe I will post them.

I think is the pressure... sounds Silly, but I don't want to disappoint you guys.

But at the same time, I like to try different/controversial things to make this story different from the other fanfics.

But I feel like is a double-edged sword.

Anyway, I need my vacation. I'm afraid of starting to hate the story and dropping it.

I have so many ideas. I want to use them...

Ah, let me give an example... Of an abandoned storyline

Taking advantage that Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus let me tell you guys about one of the abandoned storylines. related to it

Eventually would have an arc where would be revealed that Hector is a descendant of the "Mutant of Nazareth".

Yeah... controversial.

I took inspiration of Jojo's steel ball run.

Descendant of Joshua son of Joseph.

It would be part of a time travel, multiversal shenanigan arc. With the involvement of the Celestials, and other high powers.

Very hard to write.

Let me ctrl+c ctrl+V my notes(plot points to follow in the arc)

- Keep it ambiguous if Joshua(Mutant of Nazareth) and Jesus are the same people in Marvel

- They lived in similar times

- The three old pillars of Mutantkind: Selene Galio, Apocalypse and Joshua.

- Joshua saving Mutantking from extinction from the Deviant threat

-Joshua is the first natural born Omega-level/ Selene is Alpha-level and Apocalypse is augmented through Celestial Technology.

-Joshua has similar powers to Gold Experience Requiem/ Spiral- Forces of the universe.

- Retroactively awakening of the lineage because of Joestar birthmark bloodline.

- Call back to possible canonization of Joshua/ Kurt's father Azazel become a demon through his actions and adopting his "lineage"

- Call back to Power Manipulation... All For one quirk creates holes in the hands-Nail holes. "The Devil" mottif in One Piece- / "One often walks on his destiny unknowingly"

- Self Made prophecy

- Black and white

- The number 3... Rebirth. 30 days in BNHA. 3 Months in One piece. 3 years in<Spoiler>/ Death of "Eidolon" -- 3 connections with heroes in thre different generations

- Existence in Marvel world pre-transmigation. Hope Summers connection. Power Manipulation. Mutant Jesus

- "Chosen One Thingie"/ Inheritor.

It would go something like that. The rest is on my head.

Would be one of the ending arcs of this fanfic. But I can predict the headache already... Ugh.. So i gave up. It would be complicated to write too.

I think is cool... I mean... So many want to be Kryptonians, Saiyans, Incubus... But let's have some Human Pride, shall we? And who is more human that Joshua?

And I think is super badass. Imagine how metal would be Hector fighting demons on hell, and his awakened blood burning the bastards. Hehe

Anyway, it's a too much of a interesting idea to only stay in my mind.

But not worth for me to write.

If you like it, you can consider a headcanon. A hidden thing that will not be revealed on the story.

Maybe I will even make references to it here and there. Already did, btw...

If you don't like it. Forget it.

Now I'm going before the guy that spams something about the "kingdom of heaven" appears. Funny how we can't respectfully use biblical lore... Jojo and Hellsing used it pretty well and coming from a catholic household, gives me a little pride even though I'm not that religious right now.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. 

See you guys in some months. If I don't die.

Bye-bye. I expect to see you guys better than now next year.

Author's out!
