Third Person POV
Somewhere at sea, East Blue.
…
…
“We’re almost there!” Zoro said, eager to join the fight as soon as possible, despite having faced opponents a few days earlier.
“Are they really pirates? I’ve never seen pirates dress like this…” Nami commented, observing how organized this group’s uniforms were.
“Weird, they’re waving at us too, as if they’ve glimpsed some hope… looking very happy about our approach…” Usopp scratched his chin, perplexed.
“Maybe Luffy made friends with them! And they want to welcome us!” Yamato concluded after pondering for a moment.
“OW!”
“Sharky!”
“Megalo said that Chouchou-Sama heard something like this, ‘It’s the navy, we have reinforcements!'” Shirahoshi informed.
“So clearly, they’re not our friends…” Kuina commented the obvious.
“I wonder what Luffy did to them…” Nami pondered.
“We’re on a navy ship, what did they expect? I just wonder why pirates seem so happy about the navy’s presence. I think Nami is right…” Usopp reasoned.
“Anyway, let’s find out soon…” Zoro said, eager to approach and understand what was really happening there.
“What happened to Luffy-Sama?” Shirahoshi asked, expressing a bit of concern.
“I saw him descending forcefully onto that pirate ship, breaking everything with his landing. He was flying and fighting with someone using Geppo…” Yamato reported.
“Geppo? What’s that?” Kuina questioned.
“It’s a technique used to walk in the air. Some members of my father’s pirate group could use it after copying some marines.” Yamato explained.
“A technique that allows walking in the air?” Zoro became quite curious and surprised at this revelation.
“Is your father also a pirate?” Nami asked, surprised.
“Yes, that old bastard! I can’t wait to go back to Wano and kick his ass along with Luffy!” Yamato replied without looking at Nami, keeping her eyes on the ships ahead.
“No matter what kind of technique the enemy uses, Luffy can’t lose to anyone in the East Blue!” Usopp asserted with conviction, and most nodded in agreement, while Nami watched in amazement.
“OW! OW!”
“Sharky, Sharky!”
“Hehehehe, Chouchou said that you became so convinced that Luffy-sama is so powerful after spending time with him in the last few days, Usopp-Sama.” Shirahoshi chuckled timidly at the dog’s joke.
“It’s not just that. You’ve seen his strength; he’s a monster!”
“He is, and the most surreal thing is that Yamato is even stronger than the captain…” Zoro couldn’t help but murmur. There was never a clear winner in the sparrings between Luffy and Yamato, but Zoro could feel that the white-haired woman was holding back all the time.
“What??” Usopp couldn’t believe it.
“Really? Is she even stronger?” Nami couldn’t help but be amazed. Since Luffy himself claimed that he could destroy Loguetown in a day and didn’t seem to be lying, the question now is: if Luffy can do that, can Yamato be an even worse monster?
‘She has horns, so she’s not so human…’ Nami told herself.
“Anyway, we’re getting close, so let’s wait for Luffy to appear before taking any action…” Kuina concluded as they approached the ships.
The situation was under control, but abruptly a flash tore through the night’s silence, radiating from the pirate ship and enveloping both the pirate vessel and the commercial ship. The flash was followed by a deafening blast, shaking the air around and causing the explosion’s impact to echo across the ocean.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
“WHAT?”
“LU…”
“CAPTAIN!”
“LUFFY-SAMA”
“OW!”
“CAPTAIN.”
“SHARKY!”
“…”
Before they could articulate anything else, the force hit the navy ship, unbalancing everyone on the deck. Watching the raised explosion, Yamato wasted no time and jumped off the ship, freezing the ocean just below her. Although this left everyone stunned, Zoro followed suit quickly, leaping off the ship, while Shirahoshi flew to the boats with Megalo in desperation.
The commercial ship was still partially intact, as the explosion also hit them. Most agents were dead now, leaving only a few hostages and survivors. During this chaos, one agent managed to reach the reserve Den Den Mushi and made a call to request reinforcement. He hoped that the monster would be killed along with the impact.
“We need reinforcements! We’ve been attacked by an unknown individual!” The agent shouted, seeking assistance for the unfolding chaotic situation. However, Luffy’s notoriety hadn’t reached everyone yet, as his bounty had been revealed only a few days earlier, and the occupants of the ship
weren’t particularly interested in a simple pirate with a 10 million bounty.
“But there’s a navy ship approaching right now… Hm? A mermaid!?” The man holding the den den mushi, transmitting information, was surprised to see the 1.7-meter mermaid princess flying with her air bubble above the ship, looking for Luffy.
“LUFFY-SAMA?!” She shouted, waiting for some response, stunning all the present who were still alive.
“A mermaid?” The voice from the den den mushi expressed surprise.
While the man communicated with the snail phone, still stunned by the sight of the mermaid princess, his consciousness suddenly blanked out when a weapon struck him before he could react.
“Agent, what’s happening? What was that noise? Explain the situation to me… *POP*”
Yamato didn’t wait for answers from the agent or anyone else. Her main concern was Luffy’s condition, and she began searching through the wreckage after destroying the den den mushi.
“MY LUFFY!?” Yamato shouted when she felt Luffy’s presence among the debris.
The pirate ship no longer existed. Everything was a chaos of fire and pieces of wood scattered across the ocean, but her Haki still indicated that Luffy was alive and seemingly well.
“Wow, that explosion almost got me hurt, such a strong explosion!” A voice was heard, leaving Yamato and Shirahoshi relieved.
“Our ship was nearly destroyed; luckily, I managed to put my hand in my pocket to protect it, covering the small object…” Luffy continued murmuring.
Amidst the flames, a man with wings appeared for everyone. The navy ship arrived at the scene, while the surviving government men trembled at seeing their assailant unharmed. The members of the Straw Hats sighed in relief, but the girls in the group changed their expressions when they looked more closely at Luffy.
“Hm? Ahhhh!!” Shirahoshi was the first to scream, covering her eyes but keeping one eye exposed between the fingers on her face.
“Hm?!” Luffy wondered why Shirahoshi was acting like this. He was sure he wasn’t injured or anything while flying.
“My Luffy, you’re naked…” Yamato said, with a blush on her cheeks.
“Put some clothes on!” Nami shouted from a distance, with a red face.
“And do it quickly!” Kuina added, equally red.
But none of the girls seemed able to avoid looking at Luffy naked, while Zoro, Usopp, Chouchou, and Megalo just checked that Luffy was okay and turned their attention to finding any enemies. However, most of the enemies were killed in the explosion, leaving only a few that Yamato and Zoro knocked out when they arrived on the commercial ship.
“Ah, this… Hahahahaha, I didn’t even notice.” Luffy laughed awkwardly, then landing on what was left of the commercial ship and entering a cabin with a few flames. Quickly, he summoned the same clothes he had acquired last time through the system as he entered one of the rooms.
“Ready! Sorry about that, I just didn’t realize when my clothes were disintegrated…” Luffy said, scratching his head. He wasn’t an exhibitionist, but his nudity went unnoticed.
“Anyway, I almost got caught in the explosion. Who would have thought there was such a large amount of explosives on the pirate ship used by the government…” Luffy commented, looking at the now destroyed ship’s wreckage.
“My luck was using the Moa Moa no Mi 30 times to increase my hardness and defense. That enhanced my body even more, preventing me from being injured during the explosion.” Luffy spoke casually, explaining his peculiar technique to everyone.
“It’s a shame that ship was destroyed. I had some hope of getting some CP training manuals, but now it’s a distant wish…” Luffy lamented, looking at the floating debris.
“CP?” Nami asked curiously.
“Yes, these men are agents of a powerful group from the World Government…” Luffy replied to the navigator as his eyes fixed on the eight agents still alive but unconscious on the destroyed ship.
“Anyway, I want to find out why they attacked this commercial ship…” Luffy said, pointing a finger at the still-bound couple in the corner of the boat.
Without wasting any more time, Luffy approached the couple. The couple, tied in the corner of the ship, portrayed an everyday scene amidst adversity. The middle-aged man exhibited a bald head and a substantial beard, his eyes reflecting surprise and relief at the unexpected rescue. Beside him, the woman, with short brown hair, conveyed a mixture of courage and concern, her eyes revealing gratitude for having survived the chaos that unfolded around them. Despite the handcuffs and chains that kept them prisoners, they shared a bond that suggested a story built over time, as Luffy perceived.
“Yo.” Luffy snapped the couple out of their stupor.
“Hello, sir! My name is Kyrti. Thank you for saving our lives. We’ll reward you for this!” The man quickly said, with the woman beside him.
“Well, I’m Monkey D. Luffy. If you want to thank me, you can start by telling me why you were being targeted by a group like Cipher Pol…” Luffy got straight to the point, burning the handcuffs and chains that held the couple with his flames, without hurting them. He calmly waited for a response, with the other Straw Hats grouping behind him to listen as well.
Feeling relieved, the man and woman looked at them with a grateful gleam.
“I thought we were going to die. I never imagined such a sudden turnaround… thank you…” The man couldn’t help but comment in relief, looking at Luffy.
“Anyway, we were targeted because my wife here had in her possession a key and a map belonging to her old family. Something that passed from generation to generation. When we finally decided to unravel the mystery, we went after the treasure located in this sea according to the map, but we were ambushed without our guards being able to react. They were all killed quickly without being able to react, leaving only me and my wife alive for them to gather information from…” The man explained, revealing the reason for the attack.
“…It was after that that you found us in such a bad situation. The key and the map were quite precious to the Garen family, but we never thought the world government was targeting us for it. There should have been some of them contacting us when my dear wife and I announced and called the men for this journey…” The man lamented his luck.
“And where are you guys from?” Luffy couldn’t help but ask. To his surprise, it wasn’t the man who answered. Instead, the woman spoke for the first time.
“Iksi hen se kasta south, iksi kesīr naejot jiōragon bisa uēpa treasure bona ēza issare rēbagon rȳ ñuha lentor hen generation naejot generation, kirimvose syt saved īlva lives, nyke thought ñuha valzȳrys se nyke sia jāre naejot morghūljagon, sīr emā ñuha kirimvose!!” The woman began to speak, and her husband looked at her with appreciation while the crew fell into silence.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“What the hell did she say?!” Everyone exclaimed internally. No one understood this woman’s language, and she seemed to expect them to comprehend.
