🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)
The Idiot Trinity marches toward the dining hall, guided purely by nose and instinct.
The adults follow.
The Ninjas follow.
The Saiyans follow.
The Straw Hats follow—
Except for one.
Zoro.
Alex freezes mid-step.
He forgot something very, very important.
Zoro exists.
And this place is infinite.
Non-Euclidean.Multidirectional.Escher-level geometry.Hallways that curve into themselves.Gravity optional.Perspective fluid.
A nightmare.
For a normal person.
For Zoro?
A death sentence.
Alex teleports.
In a blink, Zoro finds himself wrapped in an unbreakable rope of extradimensional weave.
He yells:
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?"
Sanji is handed the rope.
Alex says, voice calm and full of pity:
"If he can get lost in your world while following a straight path,I am not confident in his ability to navigate infinite non-Euclidean space."
Alex puts a metaphorical hand on Sanji's shoulder.
**"You are his parent now.
I'm sorry for your loss."**
Sanji stares at him.
Slowly.
With the horrified expression of a man whose entire life has been ruined.
🔶 POV: Sanji (First-Person)
OH COME ON.
WHY ME!?
"WHY AM I THE ONE WHO HAS TO WATCH HIM!? WHY ME!? WHY NOT NAMI!? WHY NOT ROBIN!? WHY NOT—LITERALLY ANYONE WHO ISN'T ME!?"
I hate this.I hate HIM.I hate EVERYTHING.
Zoro shouts:
"HEY! I DON'T GET LOST!"
Everyone gives him the exact same stare.
🔶 POV: Zoro (First-Person)
I.Don't.Get.Lost.
I don't!
I HAVE NEVER BEEN LOST.
I've just… chosen different routes.
And sometimes those routes lead to other islands.
Or other continents.
Or other weather patterns.
Or other……dimensions?
…
Okay but STILL.
🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)
Alex turns his faceless avatar toward Zoro.
Somehow—despite having no eyes, no mouth, no expression—everyone in the multiverse sees it.
The perfect mental image:
❗ The "Are You Serious Right Now?" face.
Ten thousand deadpan stares
A classroom full of disappointed teachers
A nation's worth of unimpressed mothers
A dimension of side-eye
A choir of judgmental faces layered infinitely
Everyone gets it.
Everyone feels it.
Everyone knows:
Zoro is lying.
Even Zoro knows Zoro is lying.
🔶 POV: Nami (First-Person)
That mental image…That wasn't just telepathy.That was…the universe judging him.
Beautiful.
🔶 POV: Robin (First-Person)
Poetic justice is truly the finest art.
🔶 POV: Usopp (First-Person)
Yeah. He's doomed.
🔶 POV: Piccolo (First-Person)
That was the most powerful psychic attack I've ever felt.
🔶 POV: Kakashi (First-Person)
I've used genjutsu for decades.
This is better.
🔶 POV: Sakura (First-Person)
How did a FACELSS giant roll his eyes at someone!?
🔶 POV: Vegeta (First-Person)
This is the greatest humiliation I've ever witnessed.
I'm proud.
🔶 POV: Sanji (First-Person, continued)
Zoro tugs against the rope.
It doesn't budge.
"LET ME GO!"
I yank him back.
"NO. SIT. STAY."
I'm a babysitter.A babysitter for a swordsman who could cut mountains.
Life is suffering.
🔶 POV: Luffy (First-Person)
"HAHAHAHAHA! ZORO'S GROUNDED!"
I fall over laughing.
The rope looks fun.But food is more fun.
🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)
Order restored.
Zoro anchored.
Sanji assigned.
The multiversal babysitting arrangement formalized.
With that…
Alex turns to lead the crowd into the Infinite Dining Hall.
Behind him:
Naruto drools
Luffy cries with joy
Goku stares ahead with holy hunger
Sanji drags a screaming Zoro
Three universes' adults brace for catastrophe
The air smells like heaven
Alex sighs internally.
This will be a long night.
He pushes open the door.
The lights brighten.
The Infinite Dining Hall awaits.
