Third Person POV
Skypiea, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
Luffy stood in front of all his crew members, each of them giving their captain strange looks.
“So you’ll disappear for a month?!” Vivi asked, trying to understand what her captain had just said.
“As I mentioned over a week ago, I am going to head out alone to the Grand Line to sort out some things. I’ll return as soon as everything is resolved, and then we can continue our journey.”
“Are you sure, Luffy? You are a pirate with a bounty of 500 million. With the events at Alabasta, who’s to say an admiral isn’t after you right now?” Nojiko spoke up.
“Look, that’s very likely, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll see if I’m strong enough to handle an admiral. I’m confident,” Luffy commented with a smile. He had made significant progress in both Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki, albeit haphazardly, and had begun training in Observation Haki. He possessed a small arsenal of abilities as powerful as any of the top commanders of the most powerful Yonkous.
“And we’ll stay here training?” Zoro raised the question.
“Exactly. I’ve memorized the book on Haki over the last week, so I can train on my own. Meanwhile, you guys will continue your training with it. I know it’ll be slow compared to the effects of my moa moa no mi, but I’ll be back soon, and we’ll finish training before returning to the sea as a crew,” Luffy explained.
“We’ve already had to go two weeks without you, and now you’re disappearing for a month?” Nami complained, and Yamato agreed.
“It’s true, Husband. A month is a long time…” Alvida commented.
“Don’t worry, it will pass in the blink of an eye,” Luffy said confidently.
“I wonder how many women you’re going to bring back here…” Nami continued to mutter.
“Maybe one or two at most. But when I return, we could even get married here,” Luffy commented.
“Married?!” Yamato, Nami, Nojiko, Alvida, Robin, even Vivi and Shirahoshi looked at Luffy, stunned.
“He wants to marry us?” Reiju commented.
“After what he did to us, the least he could do is take responsibility,” Lami spoke.
“You talk as if it were a bad thing. You were moaning like a bitch,” Reiju retorted.
“Of course, I was seducing, didn’t you see that I’m better in bed than you.”
“You think you’ll be a better wife than who?! I can cook, have you ever seen a housewife who can’t? Maybe you’ll be the first!” Reiju mocked.
“You can cook, but I’ll take care of my husband. Can you do that?!” Lami countered.
“What’s going on here…” Bepo murmured, lost amidst these routine squabbles, but over a topic he never imagined hearing.
“Anyway, I’m off!” Luffy said before any of the women, surprised by his words, could respond. Wings sprouted from his back, and he took off into the sky.
As he soared through the clouds, the horizon tinged blue came into view. He descended rapidly, aided by his wings and gravity. As he fell, a thunderous sound appeared beside him, and Enel, surrounded by thunder, joined him. Luffy had summoned him to descend together, considering it a good experience for the arrogant god.
“So we’re going to see the mortals of the blue sea?” Enel said arrogantly, and Luffy already wanted to hit him.
“Listen, Enel, you can’t act like you’re invincible. You were beaten by a girl who was scared until recently and got thrashed by Hugo. Haven’t you learned your lesson?” Luffy commented.
“Tsk. They have powers I’ve never seen before. That doesn’t mean I’ll lose to everyone. After all, I am a god, and I’ve discovered I’m getting stronger with each defeat,” Enel admitted with some recognition.
“I can agree with the second part, but the first is hard to trust. We’re going to meet very powerful people on this journey. Be prepared,” Luffy advised and continued.
“Anyway, let’s see who gets there first, Lord of Thunder,” Luffy challenged, his wings blazing with fire before he used the power of his fruit and shot off before Enel could react.
“Worthy of being my rival. I will defeat him and become a god!” Enel confidently followed Luffy.
It was a shame they descended in broad daylight, for it would have been a spectacular sight to see a purple meteor and a
blue lightning bolt racing down the sky at high speed.
Luffy was much faster than Enel and hadn’t even used the full power of his fruit abilities. His physique had reached a new level, and he was pleased with that.
After descending to about 300 meters above the sea, Luffy veered off in a direction following an eternal pose on his wrist. He was prepared to visit a few islands during this time, with his ultimate goal being Shiki. However, he could venture to some islands for now.
Enel followed Luffy behind, and they traveled across the sea using their elements until an island appeared on the horizon. Luffy had a smile on his face; he wanted to provoke someone in particular and chose some islands around Jaya, known for an underworld smuggling network.
The island was a peaceful place with a serene atmosphere at the moment, where inhabitants went about their daily lives engaged in activities like fishing, trading, and harmonious living. This routine was a stark contrast to the other type of trade happening in one of the island’s large structures, serving as a warehouse for underworld goods being unloaded to be transported elsewhere.
Suddenly, the people stopped their activities to look up as their tranquility was disrupted by a terrifying phenomenon. A massive bolt of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a deafening boom. The inhabitants looked up, alarmed, as a figure enveloped in electricity appeared in the sky. It was Enel, the user of the lightning logia, descending towards the island at impressive speed, his presence exuding power and danger.
Almost simultaneously, a flaming object resembling a meteor appeared in the sky. It was Luffy, whose wings burned with purple flames, diving towards the island at breakneck speed. The intensity of his descent created a bright trail in the sky, resembling a shooting star in daylight.
The islanders quickly ran for shelter, fearing the worst. Soon, there was an explosion at the city’s port, the impact of Luffy and Enel hitting the ground so powerful it caused a tremendous explosion, sending dust and debris flying everywhere, breaking the area where they had landed. When the dust settled, Luffy and Enel emerged from the craters they had created.
As the dust settled and Luffy confidently walked through the town, the island’s inhabitants, still stunned by the sudden and spectacular landing of the two individuals, began to recognize the figure moving among them. Shock and surprise were evident on their faces, and whispers quickly spread through the crowd.
“Can it be… is that him? Monkey D. Luffy?!”
“That pirate with a bounty of 500 million?!”
“The same one who took down Crocodile and Jinbei, and even faced a vice admiral of the Navy?”
The whispers grew in volume and intensity as the residents gathered to get a better view of the infamous pirate. Luffy, however, showed no interest in his fame or the stir he was causing. His focus was on the weapon depots and human trafficking he knew to be part of the illicit operations controlled by Donquixote Doflamingo in these waters.
Ignoring the frightened and admiring glances of the residents, Luffy continued on his path, with Enel following close behind. Realizing the pirate’s intentions, the island’s inhabitants began to distance themselves, fearing what might happen next. Everyone was aware of the activities happening on the island, but no one wanted to get involved, as anyone there would be killed. So, the inhabitants went about their lives while turning a blind eye to what happened in that depot.
“He’s heading for the building of that organization… what does he plan to do?”
“This is going to bring trouble to the island… but who can stop someone like him?” A resident spoke, knowing this would not go unnoticed by the criminals, and as Luffy walked towards the place, he was clearly an enemy wanting to cause chaos.
“Should we destroy this place?” Enel asked, looking at the large building, while a crowd of men in front of the place pointed their guns at the two.
“Pirate Monkey D. Luffy! What are you doing here? If you’re here to cause trouble, know that this place is protected by Joker, the king of the underworld,” a man shouted.
“Don’t destroy the place until we loot everything in it, but you can attack these people,” Luffy commented, completely ignoring the guard who yelled at him.
“Understood.”
*Lightning* Before the men could react, Enel launched a bolt of lightning at them, pulverizing everyone.
Those who witnessed this couldn’t help but be surprised. Meanwhile, Luffy walked up to the building before blowing up the wall with a punch enveloped in flames.
*BOOOOOM!*
With Luffy and Enel united by a common goal, they launched into destruction inside the underworld smuggling building. The island soon began to hear the explosions from both of their powers.
Luffy entered the building through the hole he created, and Enel followed. Sounds of explosions inside the building, walls being destroyed with thunder and flames, windows breaking, and people running out seeking anywhere but there, could be heard from outside.
The defenders of the place, although heavily armed, were caught off guard by the sudden invasion and the overwhelming power of the duo. They were completely powerless. Despite their desperate efforts to protect the operations, each attempt at resistance was futile against the combination of brute force and skill of the two pirates.
“They are destroying everything… No one can stop them!”
“Who is that alongside Mugiwara? His power is terrifying… He controls lightning as if they were toys!”
People continued to comment from outside, while Luffy, first, headed to the weapon depots. Using a combination of physical strength and the intense heat of his purple flames, Luffy dismantled the depots. The structures that once housed an illegal arsenal were now nothing but smoldering ruins.
Next, Luffy focused on the human trafficking sites. Upon arriving, he used brute force to break locks and chains, freeing the captives.
“You’re free now! Get out of here and find a safe place!” Luffy told the former slaves, guiding them out of the facilities. The freed, initially confused and fearful, began to run outside.
Lastly, Luffy headed to Doflamingo’s secret vault. With a powerful punch, reinforced by armament haki, he burst open the vault door. Inside, he found a vast amount of money, valuable items, and some documents. Without hesitation, Luffy began looting the vault, collecting everything.
After that, he began to head towards the exit without any resistance and encountered Enel electrocuting a group of enemies with pistols and rifles trying to harm Enel, but he was a logia.
“We’ve done all we should here; let’s get out of this place,” Luffy said, and Enel nodded, following him.
“I thought we would find powerful adversaries here. I could kill everyone here with one strike,” Enel spoke arrogantly.
“Yes, you could, but we came here to do something else. And we are just starting in the blue sea, don’t think everything will be like this island or the next. As soon as you see the guy we are provoking, you’ll see the strength of someone even stronger than you,” Luffy said as he headed for the exit.
“Stronger than me? That’s nonsense,” Enel retorted, and Luffy remained silent, continuing towards the exit.
As soon as they both stepped outside, Luffy and Enel distanced themselves from the building before Luffy raised his hands and launched a fireball into the middle of the place, lighting up the town with flames engulfing the entire place in an explosion.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The town shook as onlookers began to run, thinking Luffy would destroy the entire city. “A beautiful explosion…” Enel commented.
“Let’s go, we have 5 more islands to visit with these depots,” Luffy ignored Enel’s comment and moved on, spreading his wings and taking off into the sky. He had gathered information from the vault of Lumenarquia and wanted to start his journey by provoking Doflamingo’s wrath even more, hoping to encounter him here.
