Lost In One Piece

The sun was barely peeking over the horizon when Garp made his latest announcement, his booming voice cutting through the morning chaos. "Alright, brats, time to toughen up! We're heading to see Dadan."

"Dadan?" Gojo asked, raising an eyebrow. "Sounds... ominous."

"Oh, she's a delight," Ace said with a snort, sarcasm dripping from his tone. Sabo shot him a warning glance, while Luffy cheered, oblivious as ever.

"Who's Dadan?" Gojo pressed, his curiosity piqued.

"You'll see," Sabo said cryptically, before turning to Garp. "Does she even know we're coming?"

"Of course not!" Garp bellowed, already leading the way. "Surprises build character!"

Gojo sighed, his feet dragging. "Great. Another day, another death wish."

The walk through the dense forest felt endless, punctuated by Garp's booming laughter, Luffy's loud singing (which was just him shouting "MEAT!" repeatedly), and Ace and Sabo bickering about who was worse at navigating.

"I'm telling you, we should've taken the left path," Ace insisted, swatting at a branch in his way.

"And I'm telling you," Sabo replied with exaggerated patience, "you don't even know what a path is."

"Boys, boys," Gojo interjected, casually stepping over a log. "Can we not argue about who's the better human compass? It's clearly me."

Ace shot him a look. "You've been here for two days."

"And yet, I've survived. Coincidence? I think not."

"Guys, I found a bug!" Luffy shouted from a few feet ahead, holding up a particularly large beetle.

"That's not a bug, that's a small tank," Gojo muttered, grimacing.

"Put it down, Luffy," Sabo said, sighing. "You don't know where it's been."

"But it's cool!" Luffy protested.

"Cool until it bites your face off," Gojo said, raising an eyebrow.

"Bites my face off?" Luffy looked at the beetle in awe, as if that made it even cooler.

After what felt like hours (but was probably just thirty minutes of chaotic detours), the group finally reached Dadan's hideout—a cluster of crooked, patchwork huts perched on the edge of a rocky hillside.

"Ah, home sweet chaos," Ace muttered.

Before Gojo could respond, the door to the largest hut burst open, and a woman stomped out, her expression a mix of fury and exhaustion. She had wild hair, a cigarette dangling from her lips, and the kind of energy that screamed don't mess with me.

"GARP!" she bellowed. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

"Dadan! Long time no see!" Garp replied, his grin wide and shameless.

"Don't 'long time no see' me!" she snapped, jabbing a finger at him. "You dump these brats on me, disappear for months, and now you show up unannounced?!"

Gojo leaned over to Sabo. "So... she's the delightful one?"

"Unfortunately," Sabo deadpanned.

Dadan's sharp eyes landed on Gojo, narrowing suspiciously. "And who's this white-haired kid? Another one you're pawning off on me?"

"Name's Gojo," he said, offering a mock salute. "Don't worry, I'm not staying."

"We'll see about that," Dadan muttered, dragging deeply on her cigarette.
