It was a chilly Christmas evening when Raja entered the cupcake shop, only to find Max dealing with two unexpected visitors. One was a broke ex-rival who recently got rich, and the other was Max's ex-boyfriend, standing there with the classic "I-made-a-huge-mistake" face.
"Max, I've changed!" the ex pleaded. "I was a fool to leave you. I realized you're the best thing that ever happened to me!"
Max scoffed. "Oh wow, just in time for Christmas. Let me guess, you ran out of money for takeout, and now you remember how good I was at cooking?"
Before the ex could respond, Raja strolled in, radiating pure dominance. Without hesitation, he grabbed Max's waist, dipped her dramatically, and kissed her right in front of them. The ex-boyfriend's jaw hit the floor. The rich girl gasped like she was watching a scandalous soap opera.
"Sorry, pal. She's taken," Raja said, smirking. "And you?"He turned to the rich girl. "You sure you can afford cupcakes now, or do we need to set up a GoFundMe?"
Max wiped her lips and grinned. "Alright, lover boy, let's get to work. Cupcakes don't bake themselves."
That night, they hosted a massive cupcake party. Raja, Max, and Caroline served customers, danced to Christmas jingles, and even convinced Han to wear a Santa hat. Gina showed up uninvited, only to steal cupcakes and announce, "I'm here for quality control."
After ensuring Max's ex-boyfriend understood the meaning of 'lost forever,' Raja returned to his magical world. His first task? Upgrading communication systems. Because apparently, Some families still uses carrier pigeons, and one of them had attempted to duel a hawk last week.
He met up with his friends and professors at Hogwarts, who were still adjusting to the concept of instant messaging.
"So, instead of waiting three days for a letter, I can just—type?"McGonagall blinked at her new enchanted tablet.
"Yes, Professor,"Raja sighed. "And no, you can't deduct points from students via text."
Meanwhile, Raja's forbidden home in the Forbidden Forest was as chaotic as ever. Hogi, his mischievous Hogwarts spirit, jumped on him in excitement and all the magical animals came near him for petting.
"You're back! Where have you been?! We missed so much chaos!"
"Chill, buddy, I brought snacks."Raja handed him some enchanted chocolate.
Then he released Myr, his sassy ghostly companion, who immediately started yelling. "We went on a PIRATE ADVENTURE and you didn't introduce me to the crew?! I've been stuck in the Grimoire while you were out swashbuckling?! Rude!"
"Okay, okay! Next time, you'll be the Straw Hat ghost pirate. Happy?"
"Ecstatic,"Myr grumbled. "You still owe me pirate rum."
Raja, ever the overachiever, teamed up with Merlin to create super soldier serums for the Straw Hats. Using blue spider lilies, they worked nonstop for ten days, fine-tuning the serums to enhance each crew member's strengths.
"Luffy's already a rubber freak,"Raja muttered. "So let's make sure his stamina and recovery go through the roof."
"Zoro?"
"More durability. Dude treats getting cut in half like a minor inconvenience."
"Sanji?"
"Enhanced speed. Let's see him kick someone across an entire ocean."
"Nami?"
"Oh, I gave her lightning resistance. Just in case Zeus ever has an off day."
"Usopp"
" I will Increase everything a little. So he can endure what comes next."
By the end, they had a lineup of serums that would make even the Marines jealous.
Raja made his way to Brooklyn, gifts in hand, only to find the precinct in mild chaos.
"EVERYBODY STAY CALM!" Jake yelled, flailing. "I AM THE BODYGUARD NOW."
"No one is panicking, Peralta," Holt said dryly.
Deputy Chief Gerber had assigned Jake as Holt's personal bodyguard after Holt started receiving death threats. Holt insisted they were nonsense, but Raja's instincts said otherwise.
Meanwhile, Amy was struggling to get a picture of Rosa smiling for the Christmas card.
"Rosa, smile!"
"No."
"What if I say it's an order?"
"Then I'll resign."
At that moment, Raja handed out Christmas gifts:
Amy: A $1000 Amazon stationery gift card. She practically fainted from joy.
Rosa: An Enchanted Elf Black Dagger. She nodded in approval. "Finally, a good gift."
Jake: A $500 comic book store coupon. "Best. Christmas. EVER."
Boyle: A VIP culinary show pass. He wept with happiness.
Gina: A $500 shopping voucher. "Okay, I like you now."
Holt: A limited-edition book by his favorite author. "Acceptable."
Terry: A $1000 family shopping coupon. "My wife will love this!"
Hitchcock & Scully: Unlimited buffet access. They screamed like children.
Despite Holt's insistence that he was fine, Raja and Jake discovered the death threats were from Colin Haimes, aka "The Freestyle Killer."
At the rail yard, Haimes ambushed Jake and Holt, but before he could fire, Raja, with impeccable aim, threw a stone that smacked Haimes' hand, causing the gun to misfire.
Terry tackled Haimes to the ground, and the team took him into custody. Boyle, in the excitement, tried to jump too high in celebration—and ended up in the hospital.
"I FLEW TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN!" he groaned from his hospital bed.
Raja kissed Rosa cheek in a flash causing her shy and smile and Amy finally got her smiling photo.
Raja continued his Christmas tour, visiting old friends and finally meeting Prudence, who had transformed into a sexy nerd determined to finish high school and become a model.
Seeing her new look, Raja felt a very unholy Christmas spirit. They ended up sharing an indecent kiss and Rubbing each other assets behind the school before he left.
He made his final stop at an orphanage, playing with the kids and handing out gifts before heading back to the One Piece world, eager to unveil the super serums.
