Chapter 21
At home Clone 1 was on the laptop controlling the music for the stream. He had pulled up a bunch of free sound effects from online and music that could be used for the setting.
In the stream, the sound of noisy crowds played as Clone 2 began to speak in a low yet enchanting voice while he retold the story of Sole Piece "Wealth, fame power. Once there was a man who took everything in the world. This man was known as Pirate King Gold Rodger. The words he left at the verge of death drove people throughout the world to the sea"
Clone 3 showed the sketchbook that had a drawing with no colours. On it was Gold Roger on his knees with his head down almost like he was ashamed.
(Author Note: I know he wasn't it's just from the perspective of looking at the image)
On either side were two executioners with sword angled downwards creating an X in front of Gold Roger with his head just above the place where they meet.
The three people were on top of a high podium with a vague drawing of a crowd that stared on from below.
Instead of following the traditional panel system that Manga, Comics work by, he enlarged each one to fit a page.
"He kneeled there quietly on the tall podium with his head down. The crowd goes quiet waiting for the swords to move and take Rogers life. Roger did not beg or even cower. He gave a hearty smile that brought chills to the crowd and executioners as he asked with a loud shout 'You want my ultimate treasure? It's possible'. His statement shook the hearts of many as excitement began to boil. Roger continued with a prideful 'Hmph. I will give them to those who can find them. I have gathered everything in this world and hidden them in THAT place' Thus the world entered the Pirate Era" Narrated Clone 2 while making a low rough voice to imitate a voice that would match the image of Roger.
Theodore's version of Sole Piece is just from the manga and fanfictions he had once read in his past life, so he doesn't remember the voices or any small differences that the anime brought to the story.
Using his Beginner Level Writing he's able to set the tone instead of having to just repeat the words used in the manga.
He is admittedly just adding a description of the atmosphere and character but it's necessary to create motion for those who have terrible imagination even though the scenario is shown in the drawing.

It was safe to say that Theodore's introduction to Sole Piece got their attention.
Clone 2 continued to narrate while Clone 3 speed drew the scene.
While that was happening Theodore was still hard at work destroying his body and the fat it contains.
Seconds, minutes pa.s.sed before 2 hours flew by. Theodore stood stiff as bord after doing his 30 seconds of jump rope.
Standing absolutely still as the slightest bit of movement would lead into excruciating pain.
Back to the progress of the Sole Piece. The chat had learnt about Luffy's idiocy that mixed well with his heroic heart.
Two conflicting groups being Marines and Pirates with one or the other being evil.
Zoro's debut quickly became
Clone 2 and 3 had just finished chapter 21 Village in which Luffy and Zorro meet Nami where they defeat the buggy in pirates that then led to Nami joining them on their journey.
They quickly drop everything and ran to Theodore with haste before striping him from the sweat jacket and weights.
With a literal weight off his shoulders, he could finally breathe with some ease before collapsing back into Clone 3's arms barely keeping himself conscious.

Theodore didn't respond as he was still trying to regain some strength so he responded through Clone 2 "It's okay I'm just tired. Right, I think it's about time I go home. So question you guys busy cuz I don't have anything to do apart from taking care of Rose and clean?"
The chat was filled with no's as they all said that they had time to kill.
"Its 07:00 am guys most of you should either be in school or working. Fine let's continue streaming" Said Clone 2
[RicherThanYou: Donated $50: Told Mom I was sick so no school for me hehe]
Clone 2 replied "Make sure you go tomorrow I don't want to be blamed, now let's go laze around in my house"
Clone 3 had Theodore's arm over his neck as he a.s.sisted him in walking home while Clone 2 carried the weights with the sketchbook and laptop in his backpack.
After a few minutes, they reach home. Rose was already up, playing with Icy in the living room while her shows played on the T.V.
Clone 1 had stopped helping with music that played in the stream and was packing cardboard boxes filled valuables and things around the house.
Theodore was escorted upstairs to have an ice bath as his body was still shouting out at him in forms of stinging pains.
Clone 2 stayed to entertain the chat by teaching them simple card tricks that even idiots could do.

About 20 minutes later Theodore came down looking like a new man wearing a pair of tan cargo pants with a black s.h.i.+rt and a zipped blue hoodie.
Physically he hadn't changed much but he did lose 2 pounds from those 10 somewhat simple exercises that he repeated three times.
Apart from chin-ups and pull-ups which is generally difficult for everyone that has never done it.
What changed was that his face had lost a bit of which showed some sharp features that almost made him handsome but what really stood out was his eyes.
His grey metallic eyes appear to have red tint as a fierce and wild feeling expanded from it.
His eyes were that of a predator, holding no human quality just pure b.e.s.t.i.a.l instincts. Theodore hadn't even noticed it but the moment the camera panned to Theodore chat noticed.

"Huh?" Said Theodore and the clones as they look at his eyes.
Theodore in shock before seeing his eyes return to normal.
After blinking he felt a cold yet warm sensation wash over his body which then led to a sudden less in pain.
Theodore stretched his arms out in surprise he jumped on his toes while a set of punches.
'I don't feel any pain!! Is this perhaps part of the Inhuman Beast exercise? A sort of cool down and refresh system. That's good cause if it didn't have one I would clearly be hospitalized after tomorrows one. The eyes give me a bad feeling though' Thought Theodore while still throwing punches.

With his body back in use, he left the stream to his clones as he sat down with Rose and played with her.
"What you playing with icy?" Asked Theodore as he folded his legs and got comfortable on the carpet.
"Baby Icy," Said Ross as she puts a blanket on Icy and pats his head.
"Can I play?" Asked Theodore
"Okay, dad is baby," Said Rose with a hard nod.
Theodore smiled and laid on his back as Rose pulled a small blanket over him that only covered his upper body with his legs popping out from the bottom.
Rose sat in between with Theodore and Icy who was lying down with blankets.
Rose then pulled out her favourite book "Little Tom Cat's Adventure. It was a simple book that told the story of a cat in search of a warm home.
"Tom~!" Said Rose cheerful as she pretended to read while showing the pictures to Theodore and Icy.
Clones 2 and 3 were back to telling the Sole piece story while clone 1 was filling boxes with stuff around the house.
