Third Person POV
Calm Belt, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
The waters changed as soon as the Black Pearl left the Calm Belt, finally reaching the waters in the first part of the Grand Line again, heading towards Sabaody Archipelago.
Luffy was sitting at the bow above Ifrit’s head, looking at some papers he had picked up from the day’s newspaper and began to look at the bounty papers.
Eustass “Captain” Kid – Initial bounty of 350 million Berries.
Basil Hawkins – Initial bounty of 249 million Berries.
Scratchmen Apoo – Initial bounty of 198 million Berries.
Killer – Initial bounty of 162 million Berries.
X Drake – Initial bounty of 222 million Berries.
Jewelry Bonney – Initial bounty of 140 million Berries.
Capone “Gang” Bege – Initial bounty of 138 million Berries.
Urouge – Initial bounty of 108 million Berries.
“Looks like nothing’s changed…” Luffy commented, looking at the papers, “I mean…” Kid has a bit more than the original and his photo is with a huge scar made by Doflamingo…” He didn’t stop analyzing.
Luffy was somewhat interested in some members of the worst generation, although his crew far surpassed this number, overshadowing them. He and Yamato had the highest bounties.
The highlight reached the top, no one could take that away, after all, who is the rookie with a bounty of 1 billion received before even stepping into the new world, a record he didn’t remember another in the history of the world.
“The only person I want from them is Bonney, after all, I feel a bit of empathy for her story, she would also be great company for Kuina, both are under 11 years old…” He commented.
“Luffy! We found a structure in the middle of the sea!” Usopp interrupted Luffy’s thoughts as he turned to the indicated spot, there was a sort of resort with small houses in the middle of the sea.
“Hm? What is this, I don’t remember something like this in the original…” He murmured and let the ship approach. “Let me see that,” Luffy asked to see with the magnifying glass and Usopp handed it to him.
“So it is…” Luffy commented while seeing the people in fear at the place, trying to escape from them, he nodded and already imagined how he could use them.
“Chouchou!” Luffy called and the dog appeared by his side.
“Woof! Woof!” Chouchou barked.
“You can get them, I want you to catch all of them and bring them here,” Luffy requested and the dog nodded, beginning to step on the air outside the ship after jumping and heading towards the resort.
Some time later, explosions began to appear at the location and Chouchou had returned to his giant form, full of people in his 3 mouths, all fallen after fighting the dog.
“This?!” Reiju looked at one of the men, startled.
“What is it?” Lami asked beside her.
“It’s… that this one reminds me of someone…” She couldn’t stop murmuring looking at the man similar to her brother, fallen on the ground.
“Well… now let’s talk to them later,” Luffy said.
“Wait Luffy. Why are you capturing them?” Vivi asked.
“Because they will be part of my fleet. They will be going to Skypiea,” Luffy determined, recruiting whoever he could for his banner.
The journey continued towards Sabaody, with them ignoring the resort in the middle of the sea and moving forward, another day passed while Luffy and his crew had a routine, Luffy even cancelled the banquets preparing for war, putting everyone in training since yesterday.
“Come on, I don’t want to have to rescue any of your butts in the war. So better get prepared!” Luffy returned to his version of a ruthless and heartless coach, while increasing the gravity of the place by 90 times, given his evolution with his fruit.
‘I’m almost reaching 100 times…’ Luffy was satisfied, he was becoming more powerful by the day.
Meanwhile, many of the crew members were lying on the ground, trying to react after Luffy’s training. “Don’t get so down, that was just a warm-up, we’ll have a few more before participating in the fight at Marinefort,” Luffy said, after all, he wanted his crew to take care of themselves in that chaos.
Everything seemed calm, aside from the intense training for the next few hours, and the crew was getting ready to start leaving, however, at that moment, the ship’s alarm sounded. Everyone looked at it and then turned their gaze to their captain.
“Let’s see what’s happening…” Luffy said, trying to figure out who it could be.
Luffy was the first to step out onto the deck, it was late afternoon at that moment as the sky was orange with the sunset, but seeing a huge structure approaching the ship, he was surprised by a big name on the front of that thing, “Germa 66.”
“This must be a joke…” Luffy couldn’t help but murmur, after all, he could never have imagined Germa approaching them at that moment.
Thus, the crew, who began to emerge from the deck to see that thing coming, Reiju was one of them. When she saw the large structure approaching, she froze for a moment.
Luffy turned to look at her at that instant and approached. “Do you have any idea why they are coming?” Luffy asked. After all, Germa shouldn’t be enough to fight against them, and they themselves should know that. So, it didn’t make much sense.
“No, I don’t know why they are coming, maybe it has to do with my ‘only alive’ status on the wanted poster?” She spoke with a somber tone. After all, she did not like her family. Deep down she knew they would come as soon as her name appeared in the newspaper, but she never imagined it would be so fast and still with them believing they could beat them alone… after all, they didn’t have any other fleet with them.
“Well, if that’s the case… let’s see what they want and beat them up if possible, you don’t need to worry.” Luffy commented as he looked until the ship appeared small to that thing.
‘Will I meet Sanji for the first time?’ Luffy couldn’t help but think, after all, he was always curious about the fate of the original cook, Reiju said he was the intimidated boy as always, but in this world she was his companion, while she ended up shipwrecked and found Zeff.
“Do you want to handle them?” He asked. But with a mischievous smile.
“What are you going to do?” she asked, not knowing how to respond.
“Well, I’m thinking of turning my father-in-law and a subordinate. What do you think?” Luffy replied, and Reiju was even more speechless.
The ship, being carried by a huge snail, approached and on the deck, a large man came out, followed by several soldiers, including three children wearing Germa’s clothes. Luffy looked at that and was thoughtful, thinking about the lack of one of Reiju’s brothers that he most wanted to see.
“What a giant den den Mushi!!!” Chopper shouted.
“What a strange ship…” Zoro murmured.
“This old man… he really showed up!” Reiju spoke with a furrowed brow.
The man looked at them for a while, until he finally decided to speak, shouting down, after all, even Black Pearl was small compared to that ship. “Reiju!,” the man spoke, calling his daughter, and Luffy raised an eyebrow.
“He has the nerve to talk like that, without addressing me first,” he murmured.
“What do you want?” suddenly Reiju’s voice came out, as many looked surprised at her. After all, this was her family, one that she disliked, known by many there.
“I came to pick you up,” he spoke arrogantly, leaving everyone beside Luffy astonished with that. Even Luffy, not believing that guy, after all, he is not strong, his strength should reach one of the weaker vice-admirals… which made Luffy wonder where all his courage came from.
“And why would I do that?” Reiju responded with an even darker tone.
“Because I am your father and I want you to come with us. It’s not just for me, but Bigmom, one of the Yonkos, wants you and your crew to come to her territory,” he explained.
“You think we would simply kneel to one of the emperors?” Reiju recognized the strength of her crew, also thinking that her father’s irrational demands were absurd.
They weren’t even in the waters of the new world to think they could have any command there, her crew wouldn’t take long to reach the level of an emperor.
“This is a direct order from my mother,” suddenly a new person appeared, and Luffy raised an eyebrow, after all, this was one of Bigmom’s children, Cracker, perhaps the second strongest among them.
“Bigmom thinks sending one of her children would advance something?” Luffy wondered. “Well, it seems her children are quite arrogant, more than they can be, more arrogant than intelligent. Bigmom was a fool if she thought she could control us just by using her fame in the new world, we fear no one in this world.”
Craker looked at Luffy. “You may have fought against Shichibukais, some other commanders from Kaido, an admiral, but don’t forget that the 4 emperors are above all that, Mugiwara, if you think you can fight with us… you are mistaken.” Craker spoke with a somber tone, looking at Luffy.
“Now we give you a choice, come with us to the New World, otherwise, you will be exterminated there.” Craker said. It seemed they were unaware of the war that was about to begin.
Everything fell silent right after these words, all members of Luffy’s crew looked at their captain waiting for his response, after all, a Yonkou was not something they were concerned about anymore.
Luffy began to laugh softly, growing louder as he laughed more, people looked astonished. Suddenly, his laughter turned into anger, starting to expand everything with the King’s Haki, causing all the soldiers on the Germa’s ship to fall to the ground, even the giant snail itself had also fallen.
Craker furrowed his brow as he and only the Vinsmoke family remained conscious, “If that’s what you want, then so be it, you arrogant fools.” Luffy still couldn’t believe they came here to threaten them and it was time to show them what happened, because it seemed they hadn’t learned from Kaido’s situation.
Luffy, raising his hand, a great stream of fire began to appear.
“What is he doing…?” Craker didn’t finish before Luffy released his attack.
“Well, if that’s how it is, then die!” he said and launched a blast of purple flames towards the structure, and before anyone could react, it exploded, catching everyone there in the explosion, lighting up the early evening.
