The Sovereign Vessel soared effortlessly through the skies above the East Blue, leaving behind the shattered remains of Arlong Park and a liberated Cocoyasi Village. Vegito stood at the bow, arms crossed, his tail flicking lazily behind him as the sea wind tousled his spiky hair. Below him, the waves sparkled under the sunlight, but his thoughts were already racing far ahead.
His crew had begun to form. Nami, already poring over the ship's extensive navigation systems, was muttering in awe about sea currents, magnetic fields, and previously uncharted islands. Nojiko had set up a herbalist station in the medical bay, testing the limits of her new Heal Heal Fruit powers.
But Vegito knew this was only the beginning. There were more waifus out there. More allies. More lost souls who needed saving... and more tyrants to crush.

Vegito smirked.
"Let's start with Syrup Village. I've always wanted to meet Kaya."
Syrup Village - Usopp's Home Turf
By the time The Sovereign Vessel anchored just offshore, word of Arlong's fall had already spread. Some villagers thought it a myth. Others whispered of a warrior with hair like fire and eyes like a god.
Vegito walked calmly through the streets, Nami beside him, dressed in her new battle attire provided by the ship's armory. Nojiko remained onboard, monitoring communications.
They made their way to the largest estate in the village—the mansion belonging to the rich but sickly girl, Kaya.
A pair of guards stopped them at the gate, nervous but stern.
"State your business."
Vegito didn't speak. He simply let his aura flare.
The air rippled. The ground cracked. The guards passed out instantly from sheer pressure.
Nami whistled. "You really need to teach me how to do that."
Inside the mansion, Kaya sat in her wheelchair, a book resting in her lap. She looked up in alarm as the doors slammed open.
Vegito entered, radiant with quiet power, and dropped to one knee.
"Kaya of Syrup Village. My name is Vegito. I've come to offer you a place among the stars."
She blinked. "W-What?"
He stood and extended a hand. "I can cure your illness. Protect you from those who would manipulate or control you. But in return, I want you to come with me. Become the ship's doctor."
Kaya hesitated.
"Why me?"
"Because you're brilliant. Compassionate. And because this world doesn't deserve to keep you locked in this cage."
Silence reigned for a moment.
Then Kaya took his hand.
"I want to live. Take me with you."

Kaya's body began to glow with soft green light. She stood up slowly, trembling.
"I... I can stand."
She hugged Vegito tightly.
"Thank you."
He patted her gently on the head. "Thank your new life. Now let's find more people to share it with."
Shimotsuki Village - Days Later
The crew arrived in the quiet mountain village known for its swordsmanship.
Vegito sparred lightly with the local masters, impressing even the old dojo heads. But his eyes were on one person—Kuina.
She was alive here. Not broken. Not fallen down the stairs.
She stood tall and defiant, slicing boulders in half in the backyard of her father's dojo.
He approached her.
"You're better than anyone here. So why stay?"
She narrowed her eyes. "Who are you to judge me?"
Vegito smiled and tossed her a wooden sword.
"Beat me. If you can."
They clashed. And for ten seconds, Kuina held her ground.
But on the eleventh, she was disarmed and flat on her back.
Vegito extended a hand.
"Come with me. Become stronger. Stronger than any man, stronger than any woman. Join my crew."
She took his hand without hesitation.

Kuina's eyes sparkled with renewed purpose as she explored the Sovereign Vessel's dojo.
"This... this is paradise."
Foosha Village - Makino's Bar
When Vegito arrived, he was greeted with mild suspicion. Makino stood behind the bar, her smile kind but guarded.
"You're not from around here."
"No," Vegito replied. "But I've heard stories about the woman who kept Shanks in check."
Makino laughed. "Is that what they're saying now?"
He walked up to the counter.
"Come with me. The world needs more women like you—calm in chaos, steel beneath kindness."
She studied him, reading more than just his words.
"You're not here just to recruit. You're building something."
He nodded. "A future."
She smiled, then untied her apron.
"Let's see what that future looks like."
