Title: One Piece: Gacha Hunter of the Grand Line
Special Chapter - Paradise Break! Beachside Chaos!
The sun was hot, the skies were clear, and the sound of waves crashing against white sand was the only thing that echoed across the island. For once, there were no pirates to fight, no system missions to worry about, and no schemes brewing in the background.
Ayman Arif stretched out on a beach chair under a giant umbrella, a cold glass of pineapple juice in his hand. He wore swim trunks and sunglasses, a towel slung around his neck.
"Now this... is what I call a vacation."
Nearby, the beach was alive with activity—and by activity, it meant chaos of the highly ecchi variety.
Yoruichi sprinted along the shoreline in a skimpy black bikini, her long legs kicking up seawater as she chased after a seagull that had stolen her sunglasses. The gull screeched in protest as she leapt into the air with inhuman speed, snatching the glasses mid-flip. She landed gracefully, striking a pose.
"No one escapes Yoruichi Shihōin, not even a seagull."
"Your bikini almost escaped," Ayman muttered, coughing as he looked away.
Tsunade, meanwhile, had taken to the beach volleyball court. She wore a dangerously tiny two-piece, bouncing and stretching as she spiked the ball hard enough to send it into orbit.
"Boom! That's what I call a power serve!"
The ground trembled a little as her foot came down. Ayman tried very hard to focus on the drink in his hand.
"Why do I feel like I'm in a battle between gravity and cloth?"
Android 18, ever the calm one, was sunbathing on a towel. She wore sunglasses and a sleek blue bikini, an unreadable magazine resting on her toned stomach. Her aura of cool detachment only made her more alluring.
"Ayman," she said without looking up, "if you keep staring, I'm going to assume you want me to oil your back next."
He nearly dropped his glass. "W-what? No! I mean—yes? I mean—nevermind!"
Calla, dressed more modestly but still eye-catching in a red sarong and a halter top, giggled as she sipped coconut water beside him.
"You're so easy to tease."
Yoruichi plopped onto the towel beside them, dripping wet.
"Don't worry, Ayman. Once you get used to all of us, you'll stop being so flustered."
"I doubt that," he groaned.
Later, the group gathered for a barbecue by the beach.
Tsunade grilled skewers, while Android 18 managed the fire with subtle heat blasts from her palms. Yoruichi snuck extra spice onto Ayman's food while Calla kept trying to apply sunscreen on his back—"You missed a spot!"—even though he was pretty sure he didn't.
The night ended with sparklers, a beachside bonfire, and the girls lounging in hammocks, teasing Ayman about his reactions throughout the day.
"You didn't even survive a beach day," Tsunade teased. "What are you gonna do when we hit a hot spring island?"
"Don't give the system any ideas," Ayman muttered, burying his face in his pillow.
