Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Sabaody.
...
...
''Massacre at the auction houses in Sabaody. The Return of the Straw Hats marked with blood and death.''
This was the front page of the newspaper the other day, as it began reporting on the massacre conducted by the group at the auction houses across the ind, with at least hundreds of people ughtered, if not thousands.
''The return of the Straw Hat not only limited itself to attacking the auction houses, but he also gave an interview...'' The newspaper continued as Luffy appeared with several reporters below him taking pictures with connected den den mushis to record him, while Luffy stood there, arms crossed and looking seriously at the cameras.
''Luffy dered this to the entire world, representing his return to the sea again: Fishman Ind is my territory, anyone who invaded the ind knowing that this people was protected by me, because Jimbei had announced it, paid with their lives, I''m taking all the records of smuggling that happened in these months, from now on, I will hunt them down, one by one, no matter where they are in this world, because you messed with my people and now you have paid with your lives!'' His statement in the newspaper quickly stirred up the sea, dering war and a massacre to all those pirates who invaded the ind and those who bought from them.
People were already fearing the unexpected return of Monkey D. Luffy, now those who were involved in the trafficking of fishmen and mermaids were at this moment terrified, calling the navy and even the government asking for help and protection.
"You certainly know how to surprise with that interview you gave yesterday...." Robinmented with a smile while Luffy looked at the newspaper beside him.
"Well... what else did they expect by taking my people like that. It''s time for people to fear my name, just because I was training for a year, doesn''t mean I will let them go unpunished, it''s time for them to regret their sins against my people." Luffy said.
"Would you forgive them?" Robin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No." Luffy shrugged, obviously he wouldn''t forgive them after going against those under his g.
"Captain... everything is ready for us to head to the New World!" Bepo approached at that moment, as Franky came with Rayleigh, after him they put a coating on the ck Pearl to return to the sea, Franky ended up learning from Rayleigh in Skypiea, so it was very quick for them to do it, besides waiting 3 days, since Franky installed some devices on the ship that can do this and expedite the coating process.
Now everyone was ready to depart. Then, Luffy stood up from his chair next to the bar, with Robin at his side and picked up his den den mushi.
"Everyonee here in front of the bar! We are leaving soon," Luffy said on the phone, while only they were in that area, they began to head to the meeting point.
The crew gathered along with some new members of the fleet, while a new crowd formed in front of them.
"We are leaving soon and will organize the mess that happened on Fishman Ind. Meanwhile, I want you all to stay on this ind for the next month, dominate all the ck market trade and control everything that goes through here. I don''t want to see any more illegal trade on this ind. My other organization will go after the culprits and clients who kidnapped and bought the mermaids and fishmen in thest six months," Luffy ordered everyone, who quickly nodded.
"Yes, Captain! We will do a job you will be proud of!" Everyone immediately eximed.
Luffy knew that preventing any kidnapping from Fishman Ind would be very difficult. Even Whitebeard couldn''t prevent it. But Luffy would do something no one had ever done before: he would go after the people who bought the merchandise in thest six months, after all the ind was now his responsibility after the death of Whitebeard and he would show the world that he would set an example for those who messed with his territory.
Therefore, on thest day, he stayed with Nojiko and Robin, researching all the trade done in thest six months, looking for names of people, famous families, and rich pirates who had bought fishmen and mermaids. There were many Celestial Dragons who had bought as well, but Luffy would have his revenge one day, despite not being able to act immediately against Mary Geoise, but he would not allow any more mermaids or fishmen to be kidnapped.
He wanted everyone to know that he wasing after them and put his Baroque Works to do all the work. In the end, things were already set in Sabaody, as he had nned. It was time to finally start the journey to the New World with his main crew. The pirates would stay in Sabaody for a month, and as soon as they were summoned for war, they woulde to the New World. Luffy had spoken with Baroque Works toe here to start controlling all the trade and information of this ind, but being careful with the government being so close.
"Yes, Captain, we will bring pride to your g!" The crowd continued eximing.
"Now, we are departing. We will see you soon. I hope you are strong for the challenges!" Luffy said, as he looked at his crew. "Let''s go!" He eximed and quickly boarded the ship along with the ship, as the ck Pearl began to rise with the power of Bepo and all the Straw Hats began to move towards it as well.
But it was not the only crew, after all, Nami jumped with a group of individuals, being the fake Straw Hats themselves, since they would be killed if they were left with the other pirates.
The ship flew on, while Luffy kept the ship of the fake Straw Hats minimized in his pocket. The entire crowd eximed as the ship began to fly away, heading towards the sea.
"It looks like they have finally departed," Rayleigh murmured beside his wife.
"I can''t wait to hear from them. What will they get up to in the New World? It''s going to be quite fun," She said with a small smile.
"Things have be interesting from now on..." Rayleigh alsomented, opening a smile
In the end, the ck Pearl continued advancing until the ship finally left the ind and turned directly down into the sea, crashing against the water and quickly having a view of the sea bottom as it began to descend straight down.
"Well, now we don''t need to go all the way again, right? Let''s take a shortcut, what do you say, Shira?" Luffy called to his wife, while Shirahoshi quickly pped her tailsing out from the side of little Megalo and went to the front of the ship, moving her trident forward.
She began tomand the sea with her power, while the water stirred as if it created a space within it, pushing away all the water molecules and creating a water tube inside the sea like a direct whirlpool to the sea, different from what she had used against those pirates who had captured the fishmen from her ind. This time, it was smoother, while the ship seemed to stabilize on top of it, quickly advancing downward at high speed to the bottom of the sea.
"This is so much fun!" Lucy eximed, approaching the bow of the ship stretching her hand and looking amused forward.
"Like it happened on Reverse Mountain when there were much fewer of us, now we are heading for the next adventure, the new world!!" Luffy eximed while also looking at the high speed of the ship.
But unlike Reverse Mountain where the members were: Luffy, Yamato, Zoro, Kuina, Shirahoshi, Megalo, Usopp, Lami, Reiju, Nami, Nojiko, Alvida, Hachi, Chouchou, Bepo, Hugo.
Now the ship was filled with new members: Chopper, Vivi, Robin, Baby-5, Enel, Jimbei, Lucy, Domino, M, Perona, Reba Bonney, Frank, Brook, Uta, Karoo, and Laboon, doubling the initial number.
Additionally, the ship was also filled with Kyros and the members of Two Piece.
"So this is the bottom of the sea?! So beautiful!!" Reba murmured excitedly next to her father.
"..." Domino also looked through her sses with some admiration, despite keeping a serious face.
"This is too fast!!" Perona wasining about the speed of the ship, while M tried not to show fear, but she was also a bit scared as they descended so rapidly.
"It''s really beautiful..." Bonney murmured, crossing her arms and looking at the sea.
"Super-speed!" Franky was enjoying the speed of the ship.
"It''s so fast that my soul is leaving my body. Yohohohoho!" Brook began tough, but quickly felt his soul actually leaving his body. "Hmmmm?!" He eximed in his ghostly state.
"AHHHH!!!! A ghost!!" Perona eximed in fear as she flew to the back of the ship.
"Why is she afraid of ghosts?" Bonney murmured, not understanding what was happening.
Jimbei was just at the helm steering the ship at high speed. Hachi by his side was calm, before returning to the crew. "I''m going to make something for us to eat!" He said, thinking about his favorite food.
"I''ll also go to the kitchen." Reiju murmured as she followed the fishman.
"Fufufu. So fun." Robinmented.
"Well, it looks like everyone''sfortable..." Luffy murmured, watching the group interacting while he was at the bow of the ship.
"Look, Luffy! A sea monster!!" Lucy eximed, seeing the giant shadow pass by them.
"Yes..." Luffy murmured, turning his attention forward.
The stronger part of the crew was just enjoying the show in front of them, smiling in anticipation of new adventures as the ship quickly descended deeper.
However, the same could not be said for those who were desperate, screaming behind the ship. "Sorry! Sorry! No, I don''t want to die like this!" the Two Piece eximed, trying to deal with the fear of seeing the ship advancing so fast to the bottom of the sea.
The ck Pearl continued descending until it finally disappearedpletely, heading to the deepest part of the ocean.
As the ship continued its journey, a meeting was taking ce in Mary Geoise. After seeing the newspaper, a hand mmed down on the front page on the table.
"We wanted to spare Sabaody from being destroyed in a fight, but it seems the Straw Hats still made a mess of it." One of the elders eximed.
"We can''t do anything yet... even if we wanted to..." Another elder replied. "After all, if we attacked them, they couldunch meteors at us. We would have to divide our forces; it would be total chaos. We should wait a bit. As soon as Dr. Vegapunk''s project is ready, we won''t have to worry about a meteor shower falling on Mary Geoise." He rified.
"You know, the longer he is at sea, the more he will grow, and the wilder the sea will be with this man doing whatever he wants... the less control the government will have with each day he stays alive... We should resolve this as soon as possible," the third elder spoke.
"Yes, even Venus reported on his strength, and even she had trouble facing him. Being one of the strongest of the Sacred Knights, this just shows how much more powerful he has be... but we don''t know if he can reach that form that attacked Saturn..." the fourth elder concluded.
"We should test him to find out exactly who we are dealing with..." the first elder returned.
"Are you thinking..."
"Yes... let''s put them against a huge force as soon as they arrive in the new world. We need to know the strength of this individual."
"Alright... that project is ready... let''s put it to work, it will also be good to see his strength at this moment." They concluded, hoping to study the person most hated by the world government.
