Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: First Encounter with Straw Hat:

Here is the English translation of the passage:

The voice sounded very familiar. The moment it reached his ears, a face materialized in Xiang En's mind, immediately making him smile happily.

Xiang En turned around in surprise.

Sure enough, a white-haired, powerfully built old man was walking towards them in flip-flops.

"Mr. Rayleigh! Long time no—" Before he could finish his sentence, a look of surprise flashed in Xiang En's eyes. His gaze was no longer solely fixed on Rayleigh but fell more on the people around him.

They were a group of both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Familiar because every one of these faces had accompanied his childhood and youth on TV. Unfamiliar because this was the first time he was seeing them in the real world.

—The Straw Hat Pirates.

The straw-hat wearing boy walking with his hands behind his head, the green-haired swordsman with three swords at his waist, the curly-browed blonde smoking a cigarette, the busty, orange-haired beautiful girl, the mature, dark-skinned woman with black hair, plus a long-nosed man, a skeleton, a perverted cyborg, and a reindeer doctor.

When she saw the reindeer walking and eating, Kagura's eyes lit up.

"Orange hair? Nami?"

The Straw Hat boy walking at the front stared intently, and his eyes also brightened.

"Idiot, Nami-san's beauty is unique, how could there be another..."

Sanji's annoyed voice trailed off. He stared blankly ahead, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He saw a beautiful, orange-red-haired girl running towards him in the sunlight.

"A... a miniature... Nami-san," he stammered incoherently.

"This is absolutely wonderful!"

Sanji yelled excitedly, then raised his hands high, his legs spinning like firewheels, and rushed towards her with a perverted look.

"Hey! Sanji, what are you doing!" Nami didn't have time to stop him.

"What an idiot."

Zoro habitually mocked him, but when he saw the orange-haired girl running towards them, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Beneath the seemingly ordinary, petite, and frail body of the girl, a chilling, terrifying power seemed to be hidden, making him feel a faint sense of deadly threat.

This feeling wasn't as strong as the one the Warlord gave him, but it was enough to put him on high alert.

Zoro's expression was grave. He reached for his waist, gripping his sword hilt, clearly adopting the stance of facing a formidable enemy.

"Haha, good spirit, keen awareness. But little brother Xiang En and little Kagura are not enemies."

Sensing Zoro's change, Rayleigh chuckled a few times, patted his shoulder, and then shook his head, continuing with a smile:

"No, they are full of potential, just like you. Maybe in the future, they might become rivals in the New World."

"I'd certainly look forward to that." Zoro's mouth curved slightly. After Rayleigh's reminder, he had already released his sword hilt. Now, he merely watched the foolish, perverted cook run forward with a look of amusement, waiting for a good show.

"Sanji!!!" ×5

Sure enough, when they looked over, the perverted cook had been casually slapped away by the orange-haired girl and was now embedded straight into a tree trunk.

"Sugoi!" (Amazing!)

Seeing this, the Straw Hat crew, except for Luffy who was still clapping excitedly, changed their expressions, realizing that this girl was not an ordinary person.

But the petite figure didn't stop after slapping Sanji away. Instead, she continued running, pouncing on a certain stunned reindeer.

"What an adorable raccoon dog!"

Kagura hugged Chopper tightly, took two deep breaths, her cheeks slightly flushed, showing a satisfied expression.

Chopper initially didn't dare to resist because the girl hugging him had just slapped Sanji, one of the strongest trio on their ship, away with a single hand.

But upon hearing the one thing it couldn't tolerate—"raccoon dog"—it immediately flew into a rage:

"Idiot, I'm not a raccoon dog, I'm a reindeer!"

"Eh! The raccoon dog spoke!"

"That's because I ate the Human-Human Fruit, an Animal-type Devil Fruit! And... I'm not a raccoon dog!"

"What an interesting raccoon dog."

"Idiot, I already told you I'm not a raccoon dog!"

While the two were arguing incessantly about "raccoon dog" and "reindeer."

Xiang En arrived belatedly. After a brief greeting with Rayleigh, he raised his hand and delivered a flick to the forehead of the girl who had run off on her own.

"Ouch!" Kagura clutched her head, looking at Xiang En with annoyance. She had been in this world for less than a day, and her small head had already been flicked by him several times.

"Now you're moody? Look at what you've done! First, you knocked someone's crewmate flying, and then you cuddled someone else's raccoon dog without permission! Kagura, you are getting more and more out of line!"

Xiang En lectured her while flicking her small head.

But he failed to notice that upon hearing the word "raccoon dog" from his mouth, a certain small reindeer behind him had completely lost its patience and its body suddenly began to swell.

Kagura, who was facing it, saw everything clearly. Her eyes instantly lit up, as if she had seen something miraculous, her slightly open mouth unable to hide her surprise.

"Can you even listen to me seriously... Eh?" Seeing Kagura distracted, Xiang En was about to give her another flick when he suddenly felt a sense of imbalance, and he was lifted into the air.

He felt the thick fur on his arms. Anticipating what had happened, Xiang En nervously turned his head and indeed saw Chopper, transformed into his "Heavy Point" (Hulk) form, behind him.

"Wait... you didn't transform just because I mentioned the raccoon dog, did you?" Xiang En suddenly realized.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. After that comment, Chopper's anger visibly intensified further.

"I told you I'm not a raccoon dog!"

BANG!

The ground trembled.

The End.
