In the New World, a strange island stood, carved with giant food, an appetizing paradise at first sight. Charlotte Smoothie, one of Big Mom's three Sweet Commanders, was waiting there, arms crossed, a vein pulsating on her forehead. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back, and her aura intimidated anyone who crossed her path. Yet, her mind wandered, captive of a burning memory that had been haunting her since their last encounter.
She could see Gojo approaching her, his mocking smile. Without warning, he had slipped a hand behind her neck, pulling her in for a bold kiss, his warm and confident lips against hers. Before she could react, he dared to give her a light tap on the buttocks, laughing at her reaction. "Until next time, Smoothie-chan!" he had exclaimed before vanishing, leaving her furious... and unexpectedly troubled.
"That darn Gojo... One day, he will regret it!" she muttered, a nearly devilish smile on her lips at the thought of giving him a piece of her mind. But deep down, her heart was pounding harder than she cared to admit.
She had been waiting for an hour, and her patience was wearing thin. Suddenly, a familiar and exasperating voice echoed. "Smoothie-chan! The incredible and invincible Gojo has arrived!"
She turned around, her fist already raised, ready to strike. Gojo approached, his ever-provocative smile on his lips. She walked towards him, her piercing gaze meeting the band covering his eyes. With a swift movement, she threw an upward punch, but Gojo dodged with casual agility, ending up behind her.
Smack! Playfully, he gave her a light tap on the buttocks. Smoothie, more surprised than hurt, placed a hand on her buttocks, her eyes wide open.
"You're dead," she hissed, her tone icy.
"Yeah, I know you adore me, mmh~" he replied, unfazed.
"I'd prefer to smash your face in," she retorted, a predatory smile on her lips.
Gojo chuckled. "I didn't know you were a tsundere... You should be nicer to your future husband, right?"
Smoothie approached, slightly towering over him with her impressive stature. "Oh, of course. I'll make sure my future husband respects his wife," she said, pinching his nose forcefully.
Gojo rubbed his nose, laughing despite the pain. But before she could step back, he gently grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him. Their faces were mere inches apart, and the air crackled with a new tension. "You know, Smoothie-chan, you're even more beautiful when you're angry," he murmured, his voice softer. Then, boldly, he tilted his head and captured her lips in a quick kiss. Smoothie froze, her heart racing, before pushing him away, her cheeks flushed.
"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed, a hand on her lips, furious yet flustered.
Gojo shrugged, a mischievous smile on his lips. "Just saying hi to my future wife."
They began to explore the island, observing the already cooked giant dishes, like a titanic fried egg. Gojo approached it, a mischievous glint in his voice. "Hey, Smoothie-chan, do you know what you have in common with this egg? You're both so bland! Ahahaha!"
Three veins popped on Smoothie's forehead. She grabbed a forty-meter palm tree and threw it towards Gojo, who dematerialized thanks to his infinity power. The attack fragments reformed behind her, and before she could react, Gojo nibbled on her ear, making her blush in surprise.
"What are you doing?! Stop making fun of me!" she protested, a hand on her ear.
"That's the typical reaction of a virgin, ahaha!" he replied, amused. Then, in a spontaneous gesture, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "But admit it, you like it when I tease you," he murmured before kissing her again, this time more slowly, his lips exploring hers with unexpected tenderness. Smoothie, letting herself go, kissed Gojo passionately.
Night fell, and the two found themselves sitting around a campfire, devouring a giant boar. Smoothie, pensive, broke the silence. "Gojo... What do you think of the world?"
He smiled. "The world, huh? The Marines, the pirates, the Emperors, the Warlords, the Celestial Dragons, the Revolutionary Army... Each plays a role. But there is no justice."
She raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you mean?"
"The Emperors, the Warlords, and the Marines maintain a balance. Why do you think the World Government, supposedly the embodiment of justice, tolerates us? It's because of the One Piece."
Smoothie frowned. "What does the One Piece have to do with this?"
"The day someone finds the One Piece, the World Government will collapse. As long as the balance endures, it won't happen. But that balance must be broken for the world to become... interesting."
Smoothie burst into laughter. "No wonder the Government wants your head!"
Gojo shrugged. "Pirates are seen as villains, right? I just see myself as a free man following his desires."
She stared at him, intrigued. "You're really complicated to understand. What do you want to achieve?"
"Ehehe, wait and see, Smoothie-chan!" he replied, true to his carefree tone.
She sighed, exasperated. "How many times are you going to call me that?"
"All my life, my wife~" he teased, trying to embrace her, but she pushed him away firmly.
"Stop. You're only doing this for my mother. No need to play pretend with me," she said, serious.
Gojo blinked, surprised. "Huh? What are you talking about, virgin-kun? You're an interesting woman, and no one forces me to do anything." He ruffled her hair, a sincere smile on his lips.
Smoothie looked away, embarrassed. "Interesting? My brothers make fun of me because I'm still a virgin. Some even say I'm too masculine."
Gojo shrugged. "So what? You're a strong, beautiful woman, and your personality is what makes you beautiful."
Smoothie blushed deeply, turning her face away. Amused, Gojo couldn't help but tease her. "Oh, is your heart racing, Smoothie-chan?"
Furious, she stood up, approached him, and in an unexpected move, planted a kiss on his cheek before stepping back, a proud smile on her lips. "Consider that a reward for your compliments."
Gojo placed a hand on his cheek, slightly surprised, but his smile quickly returned. "Pff, hahaha! Typical of a virgin. I thought you were going to take the lead and kiss me for real!"
Smoothie stopped in her tracks, turned with a smile on her lips.
