In One Piece With Cheat Codes

Encounter at Alabasta Port

"Sir, we're approaching Alabasta's port!" Lena said, consulting the map in her hand and glancing at Ryu.

Since their last stop, they had cleared out two more islands, yielding decent results. Ryu's experience had reached 98%, and in a few days, he would be ready to level up.

"Let's go; prepare to land!" Ryu ordered after a moment's thought.

"Yes, sir!" Lena saluted, then directed the crew to head straight for Alabasta's port city, Nanohana.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew were also nearing Alabasta, and Princess Vivi's anxiety was palpable.

"Don't worry, Vivi; it'll be fine!" Nami, now fully recovered thanks to Dr. Kureha's treatment, hugged Vivi to reassure her.

"Yes, I know. I just haven't figured out what to do yet!" Vivi sighed. Just then, she turned her head and saw something unusual over the ocean. "What... is that?"

"Whoa~ it looks like cotton candy!" Luffy said, practically drooling.

A few days earlier, Luffy, Usopp, Karoo the duck, and the new ship doctor, Tony Tony Chopper, had stolen some of Sanji's food. Now, with no choice, they spent their days fishing, using Karoo as bait.

"No worries, it's just water vapor caused by an underwater volcano," Nami explained after examining it.

The Merry continued sailing, but as Luffy and Usopp cast their lines, they reeled in something unusual.

"Whoa~~ we caught a... cross-dresser?!" Usopp yelled in surprise.

The cross-dresser, who was clutching Karoo, seemed startled and fell back into the sea, only to be rescued again by Luffy and the others.

"Thank you so much for saving me, even though I'm just a stranger to you!" the person, dressed in a swan costume, said politely.

"You can't swim?" Usopp asked, puzzled.

"No, dear, I ate a Devil Fruit, so I can't swim!" the stranger replied.

"A Devil Fruit? What's your ability?" Usopp asked curiously.

"Well, since it's a bit dull around here, allow me to show you!" With that, the person started performing.

This individual had eaten the Clone-Clone Fruit. By touching someone with his right hand and then his own face with his left, he could transform into a perfect replica of that person—species and gender included.

He demonstrated by transforming into Chopper's likeness, then into Nami's, complete with her figure. His power even retained memories, allowing him to mimic anyone he had previously touched.

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp quickly became friends with him, but soon after, his own crew arrived to pick him up, and they addressed him as Mr. 2.

"Wait... I think I saw him change into my father's face. They're definitely using that ability for something!" Vivi muttered after Mr. 2 left, distressed by the realization.

After a quick discussion, the Straw Hats agreed to draw an "X" on their left forearms, hiding it with bandages, as a way to identify each other.

Before they reached the shore, a large crowd gathered at a restaurant in Nanohana, the port city of Alabasta.

"I heard he just dropped dead while eating!"

"What? Could it be poison?"

"Isn't it the restaurant owner's fault?"

"No idea, but the owner's been in business for years. I've never heard of anything like this happening!"

As Ryu and Lena approached, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Inside, a man with a tattoo of a white beard on his back was sprawled over his food, seemingly lifeless.
