[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
In many ces of the world
...
...
The news of the meteoric rise and exploits of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew spread like a gale, crossing all oceans and inds, reaching the most distant and unexpected ces in the world. The stories of their adventures in basta and beyond sparked a shockwave that reverberated around the globe, eliciting a variety of reactions among listeners.
...
...
In a bustling port of argemercial city in the South Blue, amidst the noise and bustle of merchants and sailors, news of Luffy circted from mouth to mouth. "Have you heard about Straw Hat? He captured a Vice Admiral and two Shichibukais on an ind at the beginning of the Grand Line!" eximed a sailor while unloading boxes from a ship. His colleagues paused for a moment, their expressions ranging from astonishment to disbelief. In such a world-connected city, the news of a rookie pirate so boldly defying the authorities was both terrifying and thrilling.
In the same sea, in a small, unknown fishing vige on a time-worn pier, a group of elderly fishermen examined the newspaper, their expressions varying between shock and admiration. "Look at this! That kid Luffy is turning the world upside down,"mented one, his eyes wide behind foggy sses.
"Imagine, capturing a vice-admiral and two Shichibukais! What will be of us if he shows up here?" questioned another, fear clear in his voice.
"Don''t be foolish, he''s on the Grand Line... Why would hee here?!" eximed another elder.
...
...
In a small vige in the interior of a peaceful ind in the West Blue, far from the chaos of the big centers, news of Luffy arrived more slowly but still made a significant impact. "They say he has the power to turn into a fire demon,"mented an elder, sitting in the shade of a tree while children around listened with wide eyes. The stories of Luffy and his crew turned into legends, inspiring both fear and admiration in the vigers'' hearts.
In a bustling market on amercial ind, merchants and buyers bustled among stalls of exotic fruits and colorful fabrics, but conversations were dominated by a single topic. "Luffy, the Straw Hat... Is he really going to bring changes to the world?" questioned a merchant as he passed oranges to a customer.
"Who knows? But one thing is certain, he''s causing quite a stir," responded the customer, their eyes quickly scanning the newspaper they held.
...
...
In a Marine academy somewhere in the North Blue, even among those who swore to defeat piracy, stories of Luffy caused a frenzy. "Have you heard? He''s got a bounty of 500 million now!" said a young recruit, his eyes glowing with a mix of fear and excitement. "Will we ever have to face him?" questioned another, the idea of pursuing such a notorious pirate both terrifying and exhrating.
In a tavern on the sea on a winter ind, rough and fierce pirates gathered around wooden tables, drinking and discussing thetest news. "You heard? That kid Luffy is making waves. They say he even captured Jimbei and Crocodile as a trophy!" said one, a crooked smile on his face.
"That''s insanity. Those Grand Line pirates are on another level..." responded another, his face somber in the candlelight.
...
...
In a gloomy pirate den somewhere on the Grand Line, even among the most feared and respected pirates in the world, Luffy''s actions caused unrest. "This kid is causing too much trouble. Maybe it''s time someone showed him how things work around here," growled a notoriously cruel pirate, as hispanions murmured in agreement. Luffy''s feats challenged not only the Navy and the World Government but also stirred the delicate bnce of power among the pirates themselves.
In an isted mountainous vige on the same sea, "Did you see this, mom?" a young boy ran up to his mother, holding a worn newspaper. "This pirate Luffy is doing incredible things!"
The mother, a woman with a gentle face and hands calloused from work, looked at the newspaper and sighed. "Pirates will always be pirates. I hope he doesn''t bring trouble to our vige."
Around the world, in taverns and halls, in markets and pces, news of Luffy and hispanions traveled fast and provoked a myriad of reactions. Some saw him as a hero, a symbol of freedom and defiance against oppressive power. Others saw him as a threat, a danger that needed to be eliminated. Regardless of how people perceived him.
...
...
In the East Blue, a sea previously known for its rtive calmpared to the imminent dangers of the Grand Line, it had caught the world''s attention thanks to the actions of a young pirate. However, things calmed down as soon as the same pirate entered the Grand Line, but what people didn''t expect was how Luffy''s actions would mark the world once again, and the East Blue was in a frenzy at that moment.
Monkey D. Luffy''s recent actions in basta, along with his previous exploits, shook the region to its core. Every town, vige, and port was in uproar with the news that arrived, with each new report adding more fuel to the fire of spection and rumors.
...
...
In Loguetown, the city of the beginning and end of pirates, was especially agitated. It was as if Luffy''s very essence had permeated the air since hisst destructive visit. "He challenged the Navy and the World Government right here, shouted that he would dominate the seas where Gol D. Roger was executed!" eximed a local citizen to a group of neers, pointing to where the tform was, the site was still under reconstruction since the battle of Garp, Dragon, and Luffy. "And now, he''s captured a Vice Admiral and two Shichibukais in basta!" People around shook their heads in disbelief, murmuring about the audacious young pirate who had begun his journey right there.
In the same town, in a more secluded ce, where the streets still whispered about Monkey D. Luffy''s legendary departure, one man, in particr, was agitated with almost religious fervor. Bartolomeo, a pirate whose respect for Luffy already bordered on adoration, was in the midst of establishing the first and, as far as he knew, the only fan club dedicated to the pirate. The news from basta only intensified his devotion and fascination.
Bartolomeo had transformed a corner of Loguetown into a shrine dedicated to Luffy. Posters, newspaper clippings, and even drawings made by himself covered the walls with the members of the crew. Every new feat of Luffy was added with palpable excitement and even had Luffy''s routes.
"Look at this! Luffy-senpai captured a Vice Admiral and two Shichibukais! He''s amazing! He''s the greatest of all!" Bartolomeo eximed to anyone who passed by, showing thetest edition of the newspaper with an almost manic gleam in his eyes.
Around him, other pirates and citizens of Loguetown watched with a mix of curiosity and caution. Some thought he was crazy, others were secretly attracted to the idea of such a powerful and defiant hero as Luffy.
Bartolomeo spent hours talking about Luffy''s adventures, describing each fight, each escape as if they were sacred. He debated theories about Luffy''s next moves and argued fervently with anyone who dared to diminish the feats of his idol.
As news of his fan club spread, other fans of Luffy, though not as fervent as Bartolomeo, began to join. The ce became a meeting point for those fascinated by the pirate who defied the world.
...
...
In the Kingdom of Goa, where injustice once prevailed, the poption was still recovering from the shock of the king''s assassination and the subsequent destruction. Luffy''s actions, though violent, made the kingdom begin to progress with alliances with other inds, something that had not happened before, and trade increased significantly because of it. Now, with the news of his exploits in basta, many wondered if Luffy was a hero or a viin. "He killed the king and now he''s challenging the whole world!"mented a pompous citizen of Goa, osciting between admiration and terror.
The people of Goa lived discussing in the middle of the city, meanwhile, an unusual and recurring situation worried the kingdom''s ministers: their queen, Makino, a woman of free spirit and kindness, had the peculiar habit of escaping the pce to work in a bar in Foosha Vige, a smallmunity on the other side of the ind. This practice, although known by many, never ceased to surprise and frustrate the high-ranking members of the kingdom.
On a typical day, the ministers, dressed in their formal attire and expressionsden with concern, traversed the vige in search of their queen. The streets of Fuuji Vige were full of life and colors, with citizens going about their daily tasks, oblivious to the frantic search of the ministers.
Upon arriving at the bar where Makino worked, the ministers encountered a scene they had witnessed countless times before: the queen, dressed in a simple apron, serving customers with a weing and genuine smile.
"Your Majesty, please, we implore you to return to the pce. It is unbing of a queen to behave in this manner," pleaded the oldest minister, his voice trembling with the urgency of the situation.
Makino, turning to face her ministers with a calm smile, replied: "I understand your concerns, but this ce brings me peace. Here, I am just Makino, not the queen. People treat me as an equal, and that''s all I want at the moment."
As the ministers continued to plead, Makino noticed a stack of newspapers in the corner of the bar. Curiously, she approached and picked up thetest edition, her eyes immediately finding the headlines about Luffy and his feats in basta. Her face lit up with an even broader smile.
"Look at this! Luffy is causing a big stir again," eximed Makino, clearly proud and joyful. "He''s always been so brave and determined. It''s wonderful to see how much he''s grown."
"Luffy! You''re shaming the vige, I mean... shaming the entire kingdom!" shouted one of the ministers, none other than Woop p dressed in an elegant suit.
Resigned, the ministers sat at the bar, deciding to take a brief rest. Makino served them drinks and continued to talk about the news, sharing stories of Luffy when he was younger with her new group of customers.
...
...
At the naval bases in the East Blue, the atmosphere was tense and urgent. The officers and soldiers were on high alert, Luffy''s past actions in the East Blue still fresh in their memories. "He destroyed two of our bases and killed twomanders," murmured a young recruit, looking out to sea with apprehension. "And now he''s doing the same in other seas." The atmosphere was intense, "Stop this gloom, we are justice. We must fight against evil, otherwise, it will always reign!" said an officer. "Yes, we are justice!" all the recruits shouted, gaining new ambition to fight against pirates and evil on the seas.
...
...
Among the pirates and criminals of the East Blue, there was a mix of respect, envy, and fear. Luffy had done what many dreamed of but never dared to try. "Does he really think he can challenge the entire world?" questioned a veteran pirate, drinking in a gloomy tavern. "He represents the East Blue, he''s one of us, a true pirate!" eximed another, raising his drink in a toast to the young man who was turning the world upside down. "As if we could do something like that..." another mocked without joining the celebration.
Throughout the East Blue, stories of Luffy circted with impressive speed, each new narrative increasing his reputation as a figure of immense power and courage. His acts of defiance and freedom instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies and inspired those who dreamed of following their own paths. For better or for worse, Luffy had left an indelible mark on the East Blue, and the waves of his actions would continue to spread for a long time.
