Chapter 104: Returning to Marvel
Dave didn't take part in rebuilding the new world order. Instead, he quietly returned to Amazon Lily, where he spent his time with his girlfriends and also his new girlfriend, Boa Hancock, the Empress of the Kuja and the ever-devoted ruler of Snake Island.
While there, Dave discovered a way to cure Boa Hancock's lovesickness, though she still ended up loving him deeply. Realizing her unwavering devotion, Dave decided to use some of his template points to bring her with him to his own world—the Marvel Universe.
Over the next year, Dave spent his days enjoying life with Hancock and others, taking a break from battles and world-shaping events.
During that year, significant changes unfolded in the One Piece world. With the World Government restructured, the system of Celestial Dragons ruling as heavenly gods was abolished. In its place was a fairer taxation system that allowed countries to pay manageable taxes without facing bankruptcy.
A new profession also emerged: Adventurers. Inspired by the Hunter Program from the Hunter x Hunter world, Dave introduced the idea of an Adventurer System. This new system required licensing, offering individuals the chance to explore the seas as sanctioned adventurers rather than pirates. This change brought structure and opportunity, making the seas safer and more dynamic.
Thanks to Dave's influence, the world transformed into a place where freedom and fairness coexisted, while he enjoyed in the embrace of his girlfriends.
As the system in the One Piece world ran smoothly, Dave and Boa Hancock prepared to return to the Marvel Universe. Hancock bid farewell to her people, entrusting the Kuja Tribe to the newly appointed Empress, whom Dave had personally trained and empowered to a level rivaling the Four Emperors. With her newfound strength, the new Empress was more than capable of protecting her people against any threat.
Aboard their ship, the group sat in a round formation, ready to discuss their departure. Dave glanced at everyone: Tony, Pepper, and Rhodes sat together; his girlfriends—Emma, Diana, Trish, and Hancock—were seated across from them.
"You guys ready to head back?" Dave asked.
