Third Person POV
Somewhere of Sea, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
Returning to the first part of the Grand Line the next day, something strange was happening in this sea. Everything seemed calm until suddenly a white object passed at high speed like a blur. This object was an animal, more specifically a seagull, which looked scared, flying quickly forward, behind it, another object, but this time intense, passed like a flash forward, creating a wave right behind it as it followed the seagull with the newspapers. It seems that the seagull was fleeing from a black ship that seemed persistent in following it.
“Come back here, little seagull!!” Luffy yelled from the bow of the ship. Meanwhile, the seagull looked back frightened, trying to escape from that bunch of crazies, who were insistent on pursuing her.
“Luffy, what are you doing? Is that seagull going to buy the newspaper?! Why are you chasing it like a criminal!” Uta complained to Luffy.
“Hm?” Luffy looked at his wife approaching with a confused and angry face. “Didn’t you see? It fled. We expected it to come closer to us, but suddenly it turned away and started to flee. I had no choice but to speed up the ship,” Luffy spoke, using the power of the moa moa no mi.
“But you could have simply jumped and reached it. Why are you doing this with the ship?” Uta still looked dissatisfied.
“Because this way is more fun,” Luffy commented without any shame, after all, he found something different to do while he just sat in the chair sunbathing.
“Luffy, sometimes you seem like a child,” she murmured.
“Maybe later I can show you how I can be an adult.” Luffy took advantage of this moment to grab Uta by the waist and come closer to her face.
“What are you doing!” She demanded with a blush on her face.
Luffy didn’t care about it and approached her ear, whispering something that made Uta go from a blush to a completely red face while steam came out of her ear. He smiled at her, moving away while kissing her forehead, leaving the girl still without reaction.
Luffy climbed from the bow and looked at the small crowd forming there. “Are we going to catch the seagull!!??” He asked with a wide smile.
“We’re going to catch it, yes!” Chopper exclaimed.
“Catch her!” Usopp shouted excitedly.
“Go, go!” Hachi waved flags with his arms.
“Grrr!!!” Laboon made sounds.
“Karooo!!” Karoo lifted its wing, as if cheering.
“Sharky! Sharky!” Megalo exclaimed.
“Go, Luffy-Sama!!” Shirahoshi exclaimed, cheering.
“Super speed!” Franky exclaimed.
Uta shook her head from her dizziness with those words of Luffy in her ear and turned her face to all those people exclaiming for Luffy at the bow of the ship. “It seems that Luffy is not the only child here…” She could not help but murmur.
“Guaaaa!!!” Meanwhile, the seagull tried to flee from them as if its life depended on it. After all, it was delivering newspapers normally to all the ships at sea. However, in this particular one, when it approached, it saw the Luffy crew looking at it like a predator, while their eyes shone like stars, scaring it. After all, Luffy and the others wanted to know if there was any more news about them one day after their high bounty.
Some were still affected since yesterday, as, in the midst of that pursuit, there was a fight happening on the ship at this moment, regardless of the fact that it was going at high speed while chasing the seagull.
“How can you have a higher bounty than mine?” Reiju complained, kicking another woman.
“I don’t know why you’re so angry. My bounty has always been higher than yours,” Lami taunted.
“That’s impossible! I am stronger than you,” Reiju crossed her arms and stared at Lami with fire in her eyes.
“Stronger? Tell me another one, or do you really want to lose to me now? Then come face your defeat!” Lami spoke arrogantly.
“You think I should go to you, you’re below me… 200 million…” Lami continued to taunt and then saw Reiju starting to kick her, while Lami used her sword with a sheath against the cook’s legs.
The fight continued, giving kicks and sword strikes in the middle of the deck, making some uncomfortable. “Hey, can you stop that?” Yamato complained on the side, trying to sunbathe peacefully, but the two fighting disrupted her while she felt like hitting those two.
While some were angry and others quite depressed, like Nami in a corner with her sister.
“100 million… 100 million, that’s what we’re worth now,” Nami told Nojiko, who just smiled.
“It was bound to happen sooner or later, but I’m impressed too that we share the same bounty,” Nojiko commented amiably, as Nami seemed to fall to the ground on her knees defeated, thinking she would be hunted at this moment by the world government with such a bounty.
And with that, Vivi also seemed depressed. “100 million, what will my father think?” She had a dark atmosphere about her. Hugo, Zoro, Kuina, Alvida, Robin didn’t care much, already accustomed to the bounty.
The ship continued to splash water as it cut through the sea, until a moment later, Luffy managed to capture the bird while it cried, being held by the neck with Luffy’s hand.
“Hey, birdie, why are you so scared?” Luffy commented, as everyone clapped and were impressed that he finally caught the animal.
“That was amazing.”
“Good job, Luffy!”
“That’s right, you caught him!”
Everyone shouted, while Uta wanted to hit everyone.
“Let’s do this, birdie: I don’t know why you ran away from me, but I want to see a lot of newspapers today. I’ll buy it and you will give it to me. After that, you can go,” Luffy spoke, as the seagull could feel its neck stop being tight, being released from the pirate’s hand.
When it fell to the ground, it didn’t immediately run away, and looked at Luffy quite cautiously. The bird, seeing that it couldn’t escape, nodded, intrigued by the newspaper, and Luffy handed over a note of barrels for the newspaper sale. “See? Was that so hard?” Luffy looked at the mail bird, as the animal, without responding, simply took off, farther away from that boat.
Lucio watched the bird fly away, but didn’t care much. Now, looking at the newspaper, and as he predicted, there was a new picture of him on the cover, but something much more sensational than he had imagined before.
The newspaper began with a picture of him and the title: “The Emperor without Territory, Monkey D. Luffy: the rookie man who emerged in the sea and is so powerful that even the greatest forces of the Navy can’t stop him. And he is heading to the New World. What kind of change will he bring? Will he submit to any Yonkou or will he become one…? This is the question we all ask at this moment. Monkey D. Luffy, officially the worst pirate that emerged in the era of pirates. Will the old guard manage to combat him or will succumb? What kind of changes will he make in the New World, what will the government do to stop this rising threat?” These questions were engraved in the newspaper, as Luffy had a big smile.
“That’s it, Luffy, be amazing,” Usopp commented next to Luffy.
“You see? Looks like I’m an emperor without territory now,” Luffy started to laugh, in front of all his companions. I mean, almost all, while Lami and Reiju continued fighting.
“They have been like this since yesterday… you have to stop them, before they destroy our ship… Fufufu.” Robin commented, approaching Luffy and speaking of the situation.
“I wanted to celebrate… but these two didn’t even go to bed last night as they kept arguing all night long…” Luffy commented and, seeing no other choice as he watched them exchanging blows all the time, almost going to a Haki and Akuma no mi fight.
“Well, I’ll be right back,” he said, disappeared a moment later and catching the two women in the middle of the fight without them being able to react, and simply entering the ship with them.
While many were surprised by what he was doing, his women wondered what he would do. It was only after a few hours, calming the two women, that he returned, excited to have had a threesome with two women who competed so much they passed out on the bed.
“Now, let’s have a feast,” he said, wanting to celebrate once more with today’s news. There was no more training for them, not at this moment, as the adventure now was just to enjoy the journey until the war they planned to participate in.
So, being already the tenth feast since they left Enies Lobby, they began to enjoy again, while they drank beverages produced from Whisky Peak, and the meat collected from Skypea.
This continued for the rest of the day, extending through the night and ending only the next day. And it was on this day that something new happened.
While Luffy was sunbathing between Reiju and Lami, to ensure that neither of the two would fight again, he heard Usopp shouting from the mast with a magnifying glass in hand.
“There’s a thick fog covering the entire area ahead at sea!” Usopp exclaimed while Nami was studying the map and drawing some, outside her cabin, who quickly looked forward indicated by Usopp with a raised eyebrow.
“This is the Florian Triangle!” Nami shouted, already familiar with this aspect of the fog after reading the books about the Grand Line that Luffy gave her before the Reverse Mountain.
“This is good, we’re finally here!” Luffy nodded with satisfaction.
“What do you mean by that, Luffy? You speak as if we were going to enter the place!” Nami exclaimed, hoping her captain wasn’t crazy enough.
“Of course, we’re going to enter.” Luffy commented, as Nami looked at him, astonished.
“What do you mean, we’re going to enter? That place is a ship graveyard, very few people enter and come out alive!” She warned, leaving many beside, scared.
“Luffy, don’t do this, I don’t want to die like this, please, you’re not thinking about this,” Usopp pleaded while the reindeer grabbed Luffy’s clothes, crying.
“Don’t worry, this will be a good adventure, you won’t regret it. I dare say we might even find a living skeleton there,” Luffy spoke, so mysteriously, leaving everyone around him even more scared.
“A living skeleton?!,” many exclaimed. Robin looked, frowning at her husband, after all, he knew things about this world that no one else should know, so she took his words as truth, meanwhile, the ship began to enter the fog without anyone being able to react, because nobody saw it approaching, after all, the sea was treacherous.
While everyone looked surprised, Luffy had a smile, “It’s time to face Moria and get Brook…” He said, after all, he had a deal and with his whale, that he would find his old friend after a long time.
