"Mr. Luffy, I am a bit tired," Reba''s voice sounded from behind Luffy as she clung tightly to his neck. With a soldier behind her, the girl had a slight blush on her face.
Luffy nodded, understanding that this girl, who had been traveling through the night, was exhausted and needed some rest.
"Alright, let''s find a ship." Luffy said and continued across the open sea. They spotted a pirate ship in a corner and advanced towards it in the next moment.
"Let''s choose an ind to replenish our supplies before going further into this sea!!!" The captain with a 40 million Berries bounty eximed as his crew raised their weapons.
This ship belonged to a pirate group that had just entered the New World, deciding to sail these waters after the battle in a strong manner, excited to conquer their own territories and make their name in this New Era. However, they did not expect an object at high speed to explode from the sky onto the deck, sinking the ship in the next moment.
As the ship returned to normal while rocking uncontrobly, the pirates quickly panicked, with most of them falling to the ground unbnced by the impact.
"What is that?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Where is it?!!"
The pirates quickly eximed various words in fear, looking for any ship that might have fired that cannonball at them.
"Wait, there''s someone there," someone shouted, pointing a finger at the explosion, seeing a shadow emerging from the debris of the wood.
As Luffy stepped out from that spot, he appeared in front of them, staring them down, all the men quickly raised their swords at him with a look of caution and anger for invading their ship.
Reba was already on the ground, approaching him cautiously, waiting for Luffy to deal with the pirates.
It was then that the pirates finally realized who was in front of them with his distinctive face and straw hat.
Many began to tremble immediately. "That''s Monkey D. Luffy!"
"The Yonkou without territories!!"
"The pirate with a bounty of 3,500,000,000 berries."
Quickly, exmations were heard as Luffy scratched his nose, bored with this new way people had of reacting to him now.
"Drop your weapons! Do you think we can fight him?" The captain quickly shouted, making all his men drop their swords, not wanting to present a threat to this monster.
As the captain rubbed his hands, he approached Luffy. "How can I help you, Lord Luffy? As you can see, we are newly arrived pirates from the New World. Perhaps you would like to recruit us into your fleet?" He asked, knowing very well that he couldn''t face the monster of Marineford; they were just antspared to what they saw in the war.
Luffy looked at him calmly while shaking his head.
"I''m not recruiting at the moment," Luffy was direct. "I want you to bring me food and water and also a female outfit. I''m tired of feeling these irons resounding on my back," Luffy murmured while Reba blushed even more at thisment.
"Hey, what do you think you''re talking about my daughter?" The toy soldier immediately shouted, but Luffy didn''t care and continued looking at the pirates.
The group quickly started to move after that, and Luffy and the others waited for the pirates to bring what was requested quite quickly and obediently,plying with Luffy''s demands to avoid offending him.
"Lord Luffy, we have prepared a great banquet for you, your girl, and your pet." The pirate captain said, trying to be as polite as possible.
"Who are you calling a pet?" The toy soldier immediately shouted, but Luffy just smiled and began to eat. Reba ended up joining him as they sat by the deck.
"Where''s the loot? Bring me alcoholic drinks," Luffy ordered, while the men quickly started bringing him the best they had.
Luffy drank and ate while Reba ate and rested after changing clothes, putting on a dress that Luffy had to buy in the store because the pirates only had men''s clothes. At least now she wasn''t showing most of her body anymore.
"Lord Luffy... Can you give me an autograph?" A boy around Reba''s age approached with Luffy''s 3.5 billion poster. Luffy took the paper with a feather, signed it, and handed it to the boy who reminded him a lot of Coby. The boy was very pleased, and Luffy turned his attention back to the captain.
"I must admit, this was better than I expected," Luffy murmured at the end and looked at the men who were keeping a watchful eye on him. "Well, it seems I said I wasn''t recruiting, but if you want to be part of my fleet, I challenge you to survive a year in the New World. Make your own names, and if you''ve done that and still want to join me, seek me out. You''ll know when I''m in the New World," Luffy spoke as the men nodded.
"It will be an honor, Lord Luffy!!!" the captain eximed.
Luffy stood up, stretched his body, and looked at them. "Tell me your name," he asked the Captain.
"I am Captain Barrocos, Lord Luffy. I ept the challenge. We''ll survive a year in this sea and then seek you out to be recruited!" he said. After all, of all those on the sea at this moment, Luffy was the one everyone saw as the future Pirate King.
"Great, here''s a list of crimes I absolutely do not ept under normal conditions." Luffy took a paper from the system and handed it to the captain, who took it and began reading.
Luffy heard the man nod in respect to the rules, and he just nodded before picking up Reba with a shout, cing the soldier on top of her, and jumping into the air. Luffy soared high, carrying Reba like a princess.
He left the ship on the other side of the horizon and continued across the sea for the next few hours, following the direction of the two vivre cards until he spotted ships on the other end of the horizon and advanced. It was not just a ship of the Donquixote Family''s minions but also a Marine ship beside it.
"These guys are fast," Luffy murmured and advanced with all speed. As he quickly approached, he was attacked with sword shesing at him, dodging and keeping Reba safe.
"It''s him, he''s here!" Luffy began to hear the sailors quickly start shouting, stunned, trying to flee from the man worth over 3 billion.
"Where are you going, you idiots? We can''t run from fighting for justice! We must stop this pirate right here!" A female voice eximed as Luffy saw Gion, who quickly set out with her ship as soon as Vergo made the call. She didn''t like that vice-admiral, but still, he was a member of the navy.
She took the ship and advanced to Punk Hazard until she found this ship in the middle of the sea. Understanding that it left the ind and was frustrated that Luffy had escaped to another ce.
Luffy had no difficulty in passing through all her attacks and reaching a ship, while Gion pointed her weapon at him, looking angry.
"Pirate Monkey D. Luffy. I am here to arrest you and bring you to justice after all your crimes," she eximed while everyone looked at Gion a bit cautiously, wondering if she saw what he did in Marineford, be theyckeys or sailors on the ships.
Luffy looked with interest. "So you are the famous Gion, Vice-Admiral of the Marines, operating in the New World. You are more beautiful than I imagined," Luffy said with a smile, looking at the girl with oriental touches and a mole below her mouth.
"He''s trying to hit on Vice-Admiral Gion!" the sailors quickly shouted jealously.
"Enough of this crap, pirate!" Gion said, advancing towards Luffy.
Luffy just looked at her, unfazed by her attacking him. Even without using his Devil Fruit powers, Luffy could easily handle several vice-admirals.
Throwing Reba up, he dodged Geio''s attack and reappeared behind the woman, and before she could react, Luffy moved to strike and gave her a p on the butt so hard that it made her fly a few meters before falling, scratching her bottom as she looked at him with a re of hatred.
"You bastard!" she eximed, her anger reaching a new level towards Luffy.
"He pped the Vice-Admiral''s butt! Bastard!" the sailors immediately began shouting.
Luffy just smiled. "Don''t be like that, Gion, it wasn''t that bad." Hemented before picking Reba up again and cing her on the ground. "Wait a bit, I''ll deal with these marines," he said. In the next moment, he disappeared.
Gion, even with immense pain in her right buttock, prepared to face the pirate, and the fightsted a few more minutes. However, all the marines were shocked as their vice-admiral was already on the ground defeated.
Luffy looked at them. It didn''t take long for him to knock everyone else down with haki while looking at Domingo''s subordinates, who were trembling as they faced Luffy.
"Mr. Luffy, it wasn''t our fault!" They immediately shouted, not wanting to die. "They appeared out of nowhere and captured us, imprisoning all their prisoners with Chief dius!!" one of them informed.
Luffy just nodded. "I''ll be right back. So, if you try anything against these girls, I promise you will suffer in hell," he said in a threatening tone, making them all kneel.
They all sweated and shouted, "Yes, we will do exactly that! We will protect them with our lives!" They eximed as Luffy boarded the marine ship.
Caesar was conflicted, wondering if it was worse or better to go with that demon or go to Impel Down. However, he had no choice; he was now on a marine ship heading to Impel Down. But that changed when he saw Luffy entering the area and breaking the door with an explosion.
"Well, it looks like you were trying to escape from me, but you wouldn''t get far," Luffymented while breaking into Caesar''s cell, dragging him out with an expression of fear and anger, also grabbing M, leaving only dius in one of the cells.
"Why are you taking me too?" M asked. She could understand him taking her from Punk Hazard, but now directly, and even so, he still insisted on taking her.
"Well, I need an assistant. Vivi can''t handle everything alone," Luffy said, and M looked at him strangely, not remembering agreeing to obey at any point, but Luffy didn''t care.
He went back outside, reflecting. "I only have two hands, I can''t take everyone at once like this..." he murmured until he looked at Caesar, who stared at him with a glint in his eyes, while the mad scientist did not like that at all.
In the next moment, Caesar found himself tied in a chain, while Luffy grabbed M and Reba by the waist, with a third woman tied to his back. Reba was holding the toy soldier.
Then Luffy jumped into the air and started to ascend while Caesar screamed as he was pulled by a chain in the air, trying not to curse due to the humiliation. Luffy left dius still in the prison with Domingo''s subordinates to free him. Luffy had nothing more to do with them and proceeded to the first part of the Grand Line.
"Mr. Luffy, why are you taking this marine?" Reba couldn''t help but ask, looking strangely at Gion being carried by Luffy unconsciously.
"I didn''t want to leave her here alone, in a ce full of pirates, while the marines are down. I''m doing this for her safety," Luffy said, thinking of dropping her off at Sabaody.
And so he continued. He did not pass through the middle of the Red Line, which would be the shortest route to Sabaody. However, there was Mary Geoise, and he certainly would not be weed if seen by the Gorosei. So, he followed around several kilometers of the city until he passed to the side of the Paradise, in the middle of the Calm Belt, almost entering the East Blue, and then proceeded to his final destination on his Eternal Pose, which was Sabaody. He only had these destinations on his three Eternal Poses: Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, and Sabaody, finally heading to thest point to finish his journey and its final details before returning to Skypiea.
