Extra 20: C.A.O.S. (30)
[No, in fact the vitality of these islands is much greater than that of our continent, which compensates the expansion of Kyogre's domain] - Arceus answered while analyzing the situation - [Although the fusion of this new dimension is a bit worrying because it is modifying some divine laws that I had created along with Eris-dono].
"My participation in this world was too much from what I see" - Kurama said as he let out a long sigh - "No marine fauna came, Right?"
[Not that I feel, though I can sense the appearance of underwater cities] - replied Arceus curiously - [I can sense some human presences... no, they're something different yet similar].
"I'm sure you are sensing the Gyojin and the tritons" - Kurama replied calmly while shaking his head - "They are a kind of fish men that inhabit the sea, tritons are what could be defined as mermaids, and the Gyojin are anthropomorphic fish, like the drawings of your children that exist in the human world."
[I wish I didn't understand that reference, by the way, I don't understand how humans can let their imaginations run wild so much to create those... shapes...] - Arceus muttered with a frown - [Anyway, I get what you're trying to say, and I wish I could interact with them].
"You'd have to wait for me to talk with Neptune" - Kurama replied before disappearing from the place.

Kurama was busy for the rest of the day, talking to as many kings as possible and explaining to them the situation they were in, arriving home late at night because this was all so surprising that only when he was already done, he remembered that he might have used his clones, the last island he checked being, Amazon Lily.
"Kurama-san!" - Luffy exclaimed as he ran to the blond when he heard his voice in the mansion - "What do you mean I won't be able to find the One Piece!"
"Calm down..." - Kurama said with a frown.
"How can you want me to calm down when my dream was snatched from my hands!" - Luffy exclaimed angrily.
"Calm down..." - Kurama repeated as his eyebrow quivered.
"Luffy..." - Mei said worriedly as she watched her boyfriend attack the silver-haired man, who sent him flying with a single flick of his tail against a nearby wall - "Luffy!"
"Anyone else had a complaint about me before I can explain what I've been doing all afternoon?" - Kurama asked as he looked at all the members of the straw hat crew, who quickly shook their heads - "Perfect, I want everyone to gather in the central room."
"Ok!" - The pirates exclaimed.
Kurama looked at Kushina and asked her to call Hancock and the others, after all, this concerned them too.
After half an hour, everyone was gathered, even Luffy, who was covered in bandages, to the point that he looked like a mummy.
"Ok, I'll start with the first thing, not only you were the ones who appeared in this dimension, but also some islands, some of which were strongly influenced by my actions, among them is Amazon Lily and Gyojin Island" - Kurama said while to Shirahoshi and Hancock.
"Is this true?!" - exclaimed the royals of their respective islands with excitement.
"Yes" - nodded Kurama as he continued and explained how some other islands had also appeared, islands that the straw hat crew members immediately recognized.
"As for the One Piece, yes, that island came too, and it's not as troublesome to get to as in your dimension" - replied Kurama as he looked at Luffy, who seemed to have relaxed - "Honestly, I don't know why you care so much about that island when the prize isn't as impressive as you think, but hey, if that's your dream, I'm not one to judge you."
"At least Mihawk came to this world along with that idiot..." - Zoro muttered as he remembered the man he wanted to overcome and the girl who took care of him during his weakened state after being attacked by Kuma.
Nami was happy that her sister and friends from her home island were in this place, and not so far away, a situation that Chopper, Sanji and Usopp were also enjoying. The only one who seemed unconcerned was Nico Robin, though it wasn't like they could blame her, she didn't have an island to return to or a family waiting for her.
"I have a question" - Sanji said as he raised a hand - "Does the big blue still exist?"
"Hmm, excellent question" - said Kurama as he started to think - "Honestly, I'm not sure, although I could talk to Arceus to set that area apart as a protected place, so the Pokémon don't eat the fish and can live in peace, as for its location... I could hide it, so it keeps that feeling of exploration, or I can tell you directly where it will be..."
"I'd rather it stays hidden, after all, I started this journey, so I could find it by my own means" - Sanji replied earnestly.
Kurama nodded as he looked at the other members of the crew, who simply looked at each other, thinking about their dreams and seeing if they could fulfill them in this place, although it seemed that the only one of the group that had things a little complicated, were Nami and Robin.
Mihawk was in this dimension, so the mission of defeating him of Zoro and taking the position of the strongest swordsman in the world, still stood.
Chopper could learn many new things now that there were more dimensions mixed in, which made his dream still present.
Usopp could still fulfill his dream, and now he could reunite with Kaya whenever he wanted, at least if he asked Kurama for help.
As for Nami, well, she would have to start from scratch because with this world mixed with theirs, her maps were useless. Robin for his part didn't know if the Poneglyphs were in this dimension.
"Well, you can create a much bigger map with less trouble" - said Kurama while noticing how the orange-haired girl threw him an annoyed look - "As for you, Robin, I think I can help you in finding a new dream if the Poneglyphs are not in this dimension..."
"Please continue" - Robin said as she folded her arms.
"Well, this world is divided into two different dimensions, and although in this world there are no ruins until recently, the human world contains hundreds of mysteries about cultures that are yet to be discovered" - Kurama answered honestly.
Robin seemed interested in this before nodding, she had decided to continue her journey with the crew until she reached Laugh Tale, and then she was going to see what to do with her life, that is, there was still the possibility to get an island and keep all the knowledge she discovered, just like her ancestors had done.
"Anyway, now that we cleared this up, I have some things to talk to a certain little group..." - Kurama said as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Hancock and the others, who were trembling under the serious gaze of Kurama, who was possibly going to talk with them now that the soul fragment had merged with him.
The straw hat crew quickly nodded and left in the direction of the guest house the Uzumaki clan had offered them, after all, this wasn't their business, and it was best to stay out of it.

"So many changes in such a short time" - Eris said as she watched everything from her throne, although in retrospect it was better to call it a chair with decorations - "Don't you think so too, Arceus-dono?"
[Right, so many changes that honestly even I don't understand what's going on, though this is good, so many species living together in harmony] - mused Arceus as he looked at the new member, an elderly man serving as a representative of the Shinigami - [I see you are comfortable, Yamamoto-dono].
"I'm just doing my job as a representative of my race, Arceus-dono, though I appreciate that you could create a dimension for us, so we could live as we always have" - Yamamoto replied calmly while pulling his beard - "Not to mention that it's much easier to do our job now."
"I think the same thing, here I no longer have to worry about sending humans to another dimension, so they can fight a war that doesn't concern them" - sighed Eris as she shook her head.
"Ho ~ could you explain a bit more about that, please?" - Yamamoto asked as he looked at the silver-haired girl.
Eris answered honestly, after all, she had nothing to hide.
"Hmm, an interesting situation" - nodded Yamamoto with acceptance, after all, it wasn't as if she could blame this girl for trying to save her world with the possible sacrifice of a few, besides, it was obvious that the silver-haired girl didn't like this, not with how uncomfortable she looked after talking about it, though there was something that was getting on his nerves, and that was that the water goddess didn't seem to be anywhere to be found.
"If you're wondering about Aqua, it's possible that she's being punished by Kurama-san" - Eris said awkwardly.
"You don't need to explain anything else, Eris-dono" - said Yamamoto while shaking his head.
