Third Person POV
Loguetown, East Blue.
…
…
After a lively conversation with Raoul and a few sips at the old bar, Luffy decided to leave a few minutes later.
“What a cool place! Now I want to see the square! Let’s go,” declared Luffy as he left the bar. Meanwhile, people’s reactions continued to be quite peculiar as they saw them walking through the streets of Loguetown.
“Look, a mermaid!”
“A woman with horns, incredibly beautiful!”
“That man with the hat! It’s him!”
“They are the Straw Hats!”
“He killed the king of Goa!”
“He’s the worst pirate in this sea!”
“Pirates are walking peacefully through the city.”
“Where is Captain Smoker?”
“Haven’t you seen the newspaper? This pirate arrested Smoker and took a picture with him tied up.”
“Can’t anyone stop this pirate?”
“What if he starts looting the city?”
“We can’t do anything; I heard he brought an entire kingdom to its knees!”
Luffy advanced with his group through the city, while people didn’t stop making obvious comments about him.
It didn’t take long for them to reach the imposing square of Loguetown, where the platform where Gold D. Roger was executed stood out.
Loguetown Square was spacious and majestic, with a well-kept stone pavement and benches arranged in a circle around the central platform. In the center, Gold D. Roger’s execution platform was an imposing structure, rising above the ground and boasting a striking presence. It was surrounded by golden chains that added a touch of symbolism to the location.
Around the square, there were various buildings and shops, some of which dated back to Roger’s era. Statues and monuments honored the city’s rich history, while cobblestone streets provided a picturesque and historical atmosphere.
The square was often visited by tourists and local citizens, but the arrival of some of the Straw Hats certainly added an extra dose of excitement to the environment. People gathered, looking at the famous captain, taking some pictures, and murmuring to each other as the pirates explored the iconic location. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and curiosity.
“Look, this is where the Pirate King met his end,” said Luffy, opening a smile.
“It’s so grand!”
“This happened right here?”
“Let’s go to the spot!”
They moved forward to get a better look at the location.
As they explored the bustling streets of Loguetown, Nami and Nojiko strolled through the historic city, absorbing the peculiar and history-filled atmosphere while shopping for dresses and other clothes. The late afternoon sun cast a golden light on the ancient buildings and busy squares.
As they walked, the sisters enjoyed their time together, reminiscing about old memories and sharing laughter. The aroma of street food filled the air, mixing with the sounds of passing people and the distant music of a street performer.
“HEY, YOU, I KNOW YOU!”
Suddenly, the cheerful atmosphere was shattered by Buggy’s shrill cry echoing through the streets. Nami and Nojiko turned to see the eccentric pirate captain standing in the middle of the street.
“Buggy?!” Nami exclaimed with disgust, while Nojiko looked curiously beside her.
“I knew I’d find the Straw Hats here! Hahahaha. I almost went to Impeldown because of your captain, now I’ll get revenge on your crew!” He shouted and laughed.
“That’s right, Captain Buggy!” The crowd behind Buggy shouted in a synchronized chorus.
The big-nosed clown, recognizing Nami, began to make threats and vengeful proclamations. The crowd around him, like an enthusiastic chorus, echoed his words.
“Do you know this clown, Nami?” Nojiko asked, tilting her head.
“Are you mocking my nose?!” Buggy growled at Nojiko.
“He tried to kill me once, and almost succeeded if it weren’t for Luffy,” explained Nami, keeping her hand raised to prevent any approach from Buggy. “I’m not the same anymore and am enjoying some time with my sister. So get lost!”
Faced with Nami’s firm response, she summoned her powerful attack, “Garuda: Hurricane,” a demonstration of the strength she had gained since the tumultuous days with Buggy. The strong wind swept through the street, keeping any imminent threat at bay.
The crowd, initially enthusiastic about Buggy, now watched in surprise as Nami and Nojiko continued their stroll through the city, leaving the indignant and perplexed clown behind.
Nami, with a determined expression and her hand extended toward Buggy and his crew, channeling a mysterious energy in front of her. The atmosphere around them seemed to vibrate with power as an invisible force began to concentrate.
Suddenly, an explosion of energy manifested, forming an imposing tornado that swallowed Buggy and his crew as if they were mere toys. The roar of the wind mixed with the desperate screams of the pirates, who were lifted into the air like leaves in a storm.
“What is this??? AHHHHHHH!” Buggy’s pirates screamed, unable to contain themselves in the face of the fury unleashed by Nami.
Nojiko, next to Nami, watched the scene with a disapproving expression. “Nami, could you be more gentle?” reprimanded Nojiko, concerned about her sister’s intense response.
“They’re pirates, sister. I won’t go easy on those who almost killed me,” Nami replied, determined, as she continued ahead.
Nojiko sighed, understanding Nami’s perspective, and followed her sister along the path, leaving behind the tumultuous confusion caused by Nami’s impressive power.
At the same time, Buggy and his crew flew uncontrollably through the skies of Loguetown, their panicked screams echoing in the atmosphere. The energy tornado unleashed by Nami propelled them upwards and sideways, like leaves carried by the furious wind of a storm.
Buggy, with his detached head, desperately tried to control his chaotic trajectory. His dismembered body was thrown from side to side, while his fellow pirates followed the same fate.
In the midst of chaos, members of Buggy’s crew were thrown in different directions, each experiencing a tumultuous journey through the sky. Some spun disoriented in the air before colliding with building roofs, trees, or posts, while others were thrown to more distant parts of the city.
The population of Loguetown, watching perplexed at the spectacle, saw members of Buggy’s crew falling like uncontrolled meteors. With each impact, a cloud of dust rose, and the cries of pain and confusion from the pirates filled the air.
Meanwhile, Buggy continued his tumultuous journey through the sky, desperately trying to find a way to land or at least control his disordered trajectory. Nami’s attack proved to be more formidable than he expected, leaving him in a state of complete disorientation.
*BOOM!*
The boom echoed as Buggy’s dismembered body finally found the ground, his tumultuous fall ending the chaotic dance through the skies of Loguetown. It didn’t take him long to realize that he was alone here, while the members of his crew fell in various parts of the city, scattered like pieces of a shattered puzzle.
Buggy rose from the ground, his body marked by scratches and bruises from the fall but still pulsating with life. As he tried to recover, he couldn’t help but snarl in disbelief at Nami’s feat.
“How did she do that? Did she gain new powers with a devil fruit?” Buggy questioned, his voice laden with incredulity. The image of the frightened girl he almost killed once had now transformed into a woman who launched him through the skies.
Around Buggy, local spectators startled to see the clown descend abruptly from the skies. The surrounding air was filled with murmurs of surprise.
While trying to make sense of what had just happened, Buggy shook his head, attempting to dispel the confusion clouding his thoughts and sought to understand where exactly he was at that moment.
“Hey, it’s that clown.”
“Hahahahaha. Look at his nose!”
“Hey, BUGGY! It’s good to see you again!”
Buggy looked with hatred ahead and saw a group of people on the platform in front of him, a place Buggy knew well.
It was the place where they executed his captain, which he personally witnessed in his youth, and the man who was there was the one he wanted to kill, the straw hat.
He was in the place where Gold Roger died, how not to be moved.
When Luffy arrived at this place in the square, he wasted no time in climbing the platform, and everyone followed him with curiosity.
People noticed this activity, and as everyone was already talking about the terrible pirate who arrived in the square, it didn’t take long for everyone to see him in that place.
Feeling the eyes of the whole square on him, Luffy didn’t waste time and took a deep breath, shouting to the entire city with his voice amplified 30 times.
“Listen, all inhabitants of this city, today I am here to declare that I, Monkey D. Luffy, will conquer all the seas. Remember my name and my words!! HAHAHAHA!” Luffy shouted, and every ear in Loguetown felt those words.
“Luffy?! What is he up to this time?” Kuina muttered in front of her copy in a corner of the city.
“Hahaha. The captain knows how to grab attention as always…” Hugo laughed, and Usopp nodded beside him near a church.
“Luffy…” Nami grimaced as she walked with her sister down a street.
“Hahahaha.” Nojiko laughed.
“Tsk.” Zoro heard from inside a shop and glitched while getting new swords.
Lami, Bepo, Reiju also heard without any surprise, as the captain was a man to do these unexpected things, and they continued with their tasks while exploring Loguetown.
“Vice-Admiral… that…” A voice was heard in the port.
“Yes, my grandson is up to something again, let’s go get him.” Garp said, leaving the ship.
“And their ship?” The same marine pointed to the large Black Pearl anchored there.
“Leave it, there’s only a fish-man and a dog on it, our priority is my grandson.” Garp said and moved on. Smoker, already conscious, appeared and greeted the vice-admiral, following him to the square.
“They got you good, Smoker. Buahahahahahaha!” Garp couldn’t help but laugh at Smoker’s disheveled appearance.
“They have someone who knows Haki; I was knocked out twice by the same woman.” Smoker growled.
“Oh? So Luffy already has someone who knows how to use Haki? That damn brat, where did he get that person in the East Blue…?” Garp reflected, and they continued walking through the city to the square.
Luffy had calmed down after his companions shouted at him not to use his powers to amplify his voice like that; everyone had earaches now. Now he even took the opportunity to open the biscuit he got from his grandfather for the first time, while sitting on the edge of the platform eating and looking at the square.
Luffy’s words echoed mainly through the square, leaving people astonished and curious. At first, a tense silence dominated the atmosphere, but soon it gave way to a series of reactions among the inhabitants of Loguetown.
“What? Conquer all the seas?”
“Who is this guy?”
“It’s Monkey D. Luffy! The pirate with the highest bounty in the East Blue!”
“The one who cruelly killed King Sterry in the throne room!”
“Did you hear that? He wants to be the king of the pirates by conquering the seas, right?!”
“I saw the news in the newspapers; he’s unbeatable in the East Blue!”
“This city is always involved with pirates…”
“Haha, is he serious?”
“He must be crazy to say that so openly!”
As voices mingled, some murmured in disbelief, others were fascinated, and some even started laughing at Luffy’s audacity. The news spread quickly, creating a buzz of excitement throughout the square. People began to gather, discussing what they had just heard.
“Can he really do that?”
“Who knows? He has the courage to say it here.”
“I’ve never seen anything like this!”
“Is he going to cause trouble in the city?”
“I heard he defeated Captain Smoker!”
“This Monkey D. Luffy is an interesting figure!”
Loguetown Square became the epicenter of heated discussions as residents tried to absorb Luffy’s bold declaration and speculated on what it would mean for the future of the city.
“Wow, these cookies are really good! No wonder Grandpa loves them.”
Luffy was sitting on the edge, calmly eating the biscuit.
“Is this cookie good, Luffy-Sama?” Shirahoshi asked beside him.
“Yes, it’s the most famous cookie in this world.”
“Really?”
“It’s true, but Grandpa will beat you for this. I still feel the fists of love when I tried to steal it once, sister,” Lucy whined.
At that moment, Luffy turned his attention to the sky and noticed Buggy, the clown, plummeting from the air, a sight that surprised him. After seeing him fall to the ground, Luffy didn’t forget to greet the clown.
While his eyes were fixed on Buggy, the clown managed to rise from the ground and uttered words full of hatred toward Luffy.
“Straw Hat, I finally found you! I’m going to kill you! Hm?! AHHHH!” However, he didn’t have a chance to finish his threat, as an apple hit him from behind with a thunderous impact.
*BOOM!* Buggy was sent flying until he collided under the platform, while a female figure emerged, revealing herself as the one responsible for the surprise attack.
“Finally found you!” The figure that hit Buggy shouted to Luffy with a big smile.
“Who is she?”
“She looks strong!”
“You…” Luffy, wide-eyed, watched the woman advance toward the impact site, ready to continue the confrontation.
Luffy jumped from the platform to the ground with his cookie in hand, while in the audience formed by those present, Lucy and the others watched the scene with growing curiosity.
“Took a while, but I finally found you!” the woman proclaimed as Luffy reached the ground.
In an unexpected moment, Loguetown’s bustling square was suddenly filled with murmurs again as the events unfolded one after the other, while an imposing figure approached Luffy. The crowd moved away to give space, and there she was – Alvida, the “Iron Mace,” known for her unique and intimidating appearance, despite being extremely beautiful.
With a firm and confident stride, Alvida advanced, making her way through the streets as passersby stepped back, creating an involuntary corridor for her passage. Her black hair gracefully fell over her shoulders, contrasting with her smooth, fair skin. What stood out the most, however, was the remarkable change in her appearance since being transformed by the sube sube no mi.
Where there was once an awkward figure, now stood a slim and attractive woman. An aura of confidence surrounded her as she moved, and the sound of her footsteps echoed through the environment, echoing the transformation that the Devil Fruit had provided.
Onlookers couldn’t help but stare, some with looks of surprise, others of fear, but all recognizing Alvida’s imposing presence, which was becoming famous. Her entrance not only defied expectations but also added a new dynamic to the already lively square scene.
“I don’t know her,” Lucy commented as she saw this.
“Neither do I, but Luffy seems to know…” Yamato said.
“Sharky.”
“She must be a dear friend of Luffy-Sama!” Shirahoshi spoke as Luffy and the woman approached with people moving away from them but with eyes fixed on the pair.
“Hm?! Why are they kissing!” Lucy exclaimed, intrigued by the situation.
