Third Person POV
Skypiea, First Half of GrandLine.
…
…
Luffy stayed with his women on honeymoon for 3 days, with Baby-5 joining them. Luffy didn’t marry her because she wasn’t yet an official member, despite her seeming quite in love with him, even though sometimes she tried to kill him. But his reinforced body felt nothing from her attempts.
Now, with everything ready, all the crew members waiting for him, he was finally ready to get back to handling the main crew. Adjusting his cloak, placing Ace on his waist and his pistol, a new one he had recently bought for 1 billion berries on the other, fixing his hat, and looking into the mirror in his cabin satisfied, he turned his attention to the door of this place. His bed was much larger than it used to be, but it was empty at this moment, since everyone was waiting outside.
Luffy left his cabin and went to the ship’s deck through the main hallway and finally emerged outside, he saw everyone waiting for him, but he kept walking, passing by Yamato, Shirahoshi, Megalo, Zoro, Kuina, Lami, Bepo, Nami, Usopp, Reiju, Chouchou, Hugo, Nojiko, Hachi, Alvida, Vivi, Laboon, Karoo, Robin, Chopper, Uta, and Baby-5, who now completed his main crew.
‘Maybe I can get two or more members on this trip…’ Luffy thought with satisfaction.
He continued walking until he found his spot, the prow of the ship, he landed on Ifrit’s head and looked over his entire crew waiting for him to speak. Luffy had a small satisfied smile on his face.
“We’ve been off the sea for a few months, it’s time for us to return to the sea below us and show our power to the world.” He said, and many smiled, looking forward to showing their new strength to the world. He had all those official crew members before arriving at Skypiea and added 3 more members, but Enel was in his personal training on an island of Calm Belt.
He turned his attention to the city and the crowd that was looking at the ship, currently Black Pearl was in the port of the city of angels while everyone came to bid them farewell, they would remain here training and doing some important things, while the main crew would participate in the conquest of the first half of the grandline.
There were some things that some people here needed to do, some members of the old baroque works would return to Alabasta and reunite the organization that Crocodile commanded, with Luffy aiming to turn it into an information network in this sea and protect the kingdoms he declared as his territory.
All the others would remain here and stay with the research and becoming stronger.
He then decided to finalize his stay in this kingdom. Looking at Usopp and Hachi, “Let’s depart, raise the anchor and steer the ship out of this kingdom!” He declared.
Then, Usopp quickly raised the anchor effortlessly with his current strength, while Hachi headed to the helm, Black Pearl finally began to move away from the island of angels and headed towards the cloud sea, while everyone shouted and said goodbye, Black Pearl headed for the gate of heaven.
It didn’t take long to pass through the welcome structure and reach the borders of the divided territory, as they passed through the entire archipelago of floating islands, where Bepo had permanently left in this place until they returned. The ship soon reached the limit of the cloud sea and encountered the 10,000-meter drop, turning sharply as if it were a waterfall towards gravity, but it didn’t immediately fall, as Bepo had already used his power on Black Pearl. The ship began to float.
“This is amazing…!” Shirahoshi commented, some looked at her as if she couldn’t already fly, wondering why she would be so surprised by the ship flying.
Luffy was a traditional pirate by nature, so he wanted to travel by water instead of by air on his journey, so the ship continued descending until it hit the sea water and finally stabilized, continuing on its way with the wind.
Luffy laughed with joy. “We’re finally back,” he shouted from the prow of the ship. Soon, the routine from months ago returned again, while each member went back to their daily activities, when they were not training on that ship, although some continued to train in the training room to improve their skills using seastone handcuffs, since they did not want to destroy the ship.
Luffy also made himself comfortable while wearing shorts and sunbathing while drinking a juice that Reiju brought him saying that she was being a better wife than the emo woman, Nami approached him.
“Luffy, where should we go now?” She asked.
“Let’s head straight to Water Seven. Set the log pose on the helm and let Hachi steer the ship there,” Luffy ordered, and his navigator nodded doing so. The ship moved forward.
In the late afternoon, Luffy left the crew and went down to the ship’s prison, where there were 2 beings chained in that place.
“How are you feeling?” he commented, looking at Doflamingo and Page On in each cell. “I know it’s been a tough month for you. But I’m sure you’ll soon be free again,” Luffy crossed his arms.
When Luffy had captured Doflamingo, he expected Lami to try to kill him and he would gladly give that to his wife, even if it enraged Kaido, but Luffy already had his daughter, so he was not worried about the Yonkou. However, when Lami heard this, she was surprised, but declined as soon as Luffy spoke, because she herself wanted to end him in another way, not like this, as it would be too easy.
Seeing that he couldn’t do much against him, then he decided to leave it to negotiate his life and make some money, since his was currently running out after spending so much.
“Mugiwara…” Doflamingo growled at Luffy.
“Hey, don’t be so angry. I’m sure the world government will soon get in touch so we can make a trade,” Luffy commented, waiting for that.
As he returned to Page On, “Hey, how about you work for me? You seem competent, despite being quite wild.” Luffy commented, and Page On did not respond.
After seeing the prisoners, he returned to his captain’s cabin, where his documents and a large map of his journey drawn by Nami were.
He sat in his armchair and began to quickly mark on a board his current strength.
Captain: Luffy.
Vice-Captain: Yamato.
Swordsmen: Zoro, Kuina.
Tankers: Alvida, Hugo.
Cooks: Reiju, Hachi
Doctors: Lami, Chopper.
Helmsmen:
Secretary: Vivi.
Sharpshooters: Usopp.
Maid: Baby-5.
Ship Guard: Chouchou.
Mascots: Laboon, Karoo, and Megalo.
Marine Support: Shirahoshi.
Musicians: Uta.
Archaeologists: Robin.
Economist: Bepo
Informant: Nojiko.
Navigator: Nami
Engineers: Enel.
Luffy looked at the list; he just didn’t have a member for one official role, which was the helmsman, but he believed that Jimbei would become his official member for this role. He still had Franky, another engineer, and Brook, another musician, to recruit on this journey, and he was confident he could do it. Franky would be the most troublesome to convince, but Luffy would give him an Adam Tree to make the Sunny GO.
Yes, Luffy planned to build the ship anyway, it wouldn’t be the official one, but still, it would be an addition to the collection of ships he had been accumulating in his vault. He could have spent another 1 billion to take Black Pearl to the next level, but it would be as big as Moby Dick, and Luffy didn’t want it to be that size at the moment; its current state was in the best shape for the group.
Looking back at all the members, Luffy was excited to face the forces of this sea. He didn’t know what Kaido was doing, since he hadn’t shown up even with those two as prisoners, but surely there were some assassins following him. However, he managed to divert their attention when he went to see Uta, so he would meet them soon. Now, his goal was Water Seven and to hunt down CP9 and recruit Franky. Why would he hunt CP9? Simple, he planned to increase the bargaining against the government, getting more milk from the cow.
Luffy was immersed in his thoughts when he felt a presence at the door. “Baby-5, what are you doing there, come in.” He ordered, and his official maid entered with a shy tone.
“Do you need me, captain?” She said with a mix of shyness and hope.
“Of course, come here.” Luffy commented with a smile.
She approached, still shy, but her expression changed as her hand turned into a weapon. “Then die!” and Luffy just looked at her pointing the barrel at him, shooting point-blank.
“I think you do this on purpose, don’t you?” Luffy commented as the bullet fell from his forehead without hurting him and continued looking at the woman.
“I don’t know what the captain is talking about… But your maid is behaving so badly… I think she must be punished!” She murmured timidly while lifting her skirt to show her bottom.
Luffy sighed; he still couldn’t get used to this masochistic woman, but Luffy shrugged as he would punish her and have his way with her at that moment.
