Monkey D. Luffy's POV
Somewhere in the East Blue Sea.
...
...
"!"
With the spontaneous growth after the powers of the Devil Fruits in his body, Luffy first received the Moa Moa no Mi, a fruit with tremendous potential. In the original work, it was limited to increasing speed and mass, but its essence is multiplication. Luffy knew its potential was much greater; he could increase Speed, Mass, Weight, Defense, Recovery, Learning, Gravity, Mind, and Sound. There were still other possibilities that Luffy hadn't unlocked yet, but he planned to do so in the future. In his opinion, Luffy concluded that he had the Devil Fruit with the most potential in the world. Imagine reaching your peak with the ability to increase speed and strength by 100 times?
His second fruit is not original to this world but from Final Fantasy 16, one of the colossal monsters known as Eikons. Luffy's Eikon is the Hell Eikon, also known as the second fire Eikon, Ifrit, used by the protagonist of the game. However, Luffy's Ifrit is modified; instead of normal-colored flames, he possesses chaos flames with amethyst hues that surpass even Akaino's magma heat and can disintegrate matter. The official name of his Devil Fruit is Eikon Eikon no Mi: Chaos Ifrit.
He still had the cards and the system to figure out, but he decided to handle that later. At the moment, his priority was to get out of this barrel floating in the middle of the sea.
Without wasting more time, amid the vastness of the sea where the barrel floated in the solitary horizon, its lid exploded, turning into hundreds of shards in the air above the wooden object.
*BOOM!*
The punch was so powerful that the lid had no chance. The sound echoed for hundreds of meters with its reverberation. In the barrel, a raised fist could be seen emerging from it, while a tattooed man with clothes that no longer seemed to fit him gradually stood up. This was Monkey D. Luffy, or rather, the new Monkey D. Luffy. The boy looked around, trying to orient himself, but his own sigh was the only response he got, as there was nothing beyond the horizon on all sides, no sign of a nearby ship or island.
"Seems like I'm quite ahead of when the events start. Still, why should I waste my time in a barrel that isn't even big enough for me now? I might as well wait for some sailors to pick me up, thinking I'm some ordered barrel of drink," he murmured. So, he made a decision; he would search for Alvida's ship on his own.
The first thing he did was tear his red tank top shirt since it no longer fit him and then took the straw hat off his head, letting it fall onto his back. Throwing the torn shirt away, he began to focus and understand his power.
Closing his red eyes, the new Luffy started to concentrate on his back.
"Let's test my transformation!" He said as he forced his strange power to manifest and enter the first phase of his Mythical Zoan.
Suddenly, he felt the Zoan fruit's energy flow through his body. First, his hair, which was shaved on the sides and had a messy top, matching his rebellious style, began to grow.
"This is strange and unexpected, but at the same time, it's amazing!" He said with a small smile.
When he stopped growing, it was as if he had a big black mane now. His hair was thick, but it hadn't lost its black sheen, turning the man into a different kind of beauty for feminine eyes. However, there was no girl around to admire his transformation at this moment, unfortunately.
But his transformation didn't end there. In addition to the hair growth that reached the middle of his back, on each side of his upper back, wings began to emerge. As they grew, the man seemed to shrink in comparison, making him look like a kind of black angel. The man, even at 2.10 meters, seemed dwarfed by the wings that extended over 5 meters from his back to their tips.
"Hehehehe! This is so cool!" Luffy laughed as he admired his new transformation, releasing a different laugh from the original Luffy as he inspected and flapped his wings.
"I would really like to summon the first members of my crew right now or see the system, but I can't stand being in this damn barrel for another second!" Luffy said and prepared for his first attempt at flight.
With that, he flexed his knees inside the barrel, while his new wings moved with the same control as any muscle in his body. He leaned as they prepared to launch him upwards, and then he jumped.
BOOM!
Another explosion occurred as the barrel shattered into thousands of pieces, and a man rocketed into the sky with dark wings moving at high speed, leaving a strong gust of wind behind him.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS AMAZING!" He exclaimed with all his lung power as he soared upward.
Luffy fought against gravity and kept ascending.
"This is a bit tricky, but I can get used to it in no time. Since it's my first time doing this, I just need to be careful because there's no more barrel for me to return to!" He said as he continued to fly toward the sky to reach his first clouds.
Meanwhile, some time later.
Somewhere else.
"Come on, steal them all, take everything!!" A extremely fat woman said.
"Yes, Captain Alvida!" A chorus of voices rose in response to her command, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"KOBY!!!" She shouted again, and a boy with pink hair immediately appeared in front of her.
"Yes, Captain Alvida!" He saluted immediately.
"Tell me, Koby! Who's the most beautiful woman in the East Blue?" She asked, and the boy shivered.
"It's Captain Alvida, she's the most beautiful woman in the sea!" He said quickly and fearfully.
"Very well! Now, do you see all this blood and these bodies?" She asked with a malicious smile, and the boy chose poorly with this question.
"Yes, Captain..." He said softly, trying not to look at the dead civilians and soldiers strewn about in this vile raid carried out by Alvida's pirate crew. He was responsible for the clean-up.
"Great, I want you to clean everything and remove anything valuable from the bodies!" She gave the order, and he had no choice but to carry out her demand as he headed towards the unfortunate victims.
For the rest of the time, Koby continued taking some valuables from the pockets of those people, robbing a corpse was by far the most unpleasant thing he could do here, even with all the abuse from Alvida. He had no choice; otherwise, he could end up among the bodies.
"Koby! More bodies!" A member of the crew arrived and said, laughing, tossing two more corpses near him. Koby could only lament. His expression didn't escape the captain, who stopped what she was doing and looked amused at the young man.
"KOOOOBYYY! Don't you like doing this job?" She asked with a threatening look.
"It's not that, Miss Alvida! I'm doing it, don't worry!" He said in a hurry and fearfully trying to accelerate his work.
"Then do it without any grimaces!" She growled.
"Yes, Captain!" He responded immediately.
"Now, answer me again, who's the most powerful and beautiful woman on the seas?"
"Captain Alvida!"
"That's right! Lucky you have some sense." She said with a malicious smile. But she was soon interrupted by some men who arrived running.
"Captain!! We have a problem!" Said those men, who arrived in a panic from the pirate crew's ship, landing on the commercial ship they were looting, and they ran to Alvida with terrible news.
"What is it now?" An irritated Alvida said, as she was interrupted in her precious narcissistic moment.
"Our treasures! They've all been stolen from our ship! Hm??? AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He didn't finish speaking because Alvida hit him head-on with her club, sending him flying with his wounds bleeding after that sudden impact.
"Hey, you. Can you repeat what he said?" Alvida asked the other man who arrived with his companion. He looked at his former companion and the trail of blood he left behind, trembling and fearing Alvida's wrath falling upon him too, just because of the terrible news. He could die here. Koby wasn't any different, waiting for Alvida not to take it out on him, too, in case she wasn't satisfied.
"O-Our treasure was s-stolen, Captain!" He said, and Alvida lowered her head, silent and immobile for a while. Then she raised her gaze, showing her fury to the poor fellow.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!"
"WAIT, CAPTAIN!! AHHHHHH!!" He didn't have a chance as he was thrown like a ragdoll. She saw her subordinate fly and shouted to the other men.
"LISTEN UP, EVERYONE! I WANT YOU TO SEARCH EVERY INCH OF THESE SHIPS!! BRING ME THAT THIEF WITH OUR TREASURES IN 10 MINUTES!!" She roared loudly, and everyone panicked, not only for their treasure but also because their lives were in danger here if Alvida was dissatisfied.
"AND YOU'D BETTER FIND THAT DAMN THIEF; OTHERWISE, I'LL... HMM??" She couldn't finish her threat because something unbelievable happened.
BOOOOOOM
An explosion occurred behind Alvida. She quickly turned to see what was happening, thinking it might be an attack from another ship. The sea was empty apart from her own pirate ship and the commercial boat they were plundering. But when she returned her eyes to the small explosion, she realized it was a newcomer who seemed to have fallen from the sky. This situation left everyone stunned for the next few seconds.
"OH! I finally made it!" A cheerful voice said amidst the dust and debris that had risen on the deck.
"Can't believe I got lost while I was in the sky. How did something like that happen?! In the end, I managed to find the ships when I thought I was going to die because my wings couldn't take it anymore. Still, I almost arrived late!" The voice spoke to itself, sounding quite dissatisfied. This guy said senseless things while everyone was bewildered.
"Maybe I have the legendary talent for getting lost on the way, like that Zoro fellow? That would be terrible for me if that's the case... Hm?" The strange voice debated with itself, and nobody knew to whom it belonged. It seemed very manly and animated.
"Whistle Wow, there are quite a few bodies here. You pirates in this world don't mess around, and it seems this world is really dangerous. There must be all kinds of real crimes. It's a bit scary, but I'll have to get used to it since I have big plans here." The voice continued talking to itself while everyone was still listening. No one knew what to say to break the strange atmosphere that had taken over.
"OH? Look who's here!" The voice got excited as it emerged from the smoke. Everyone was even more bewildered when they saw the man coming out of the smoke.
He had dark hair with a pompadour and red eyes. He was taller than anyone in this place, exuding confidence in his posture as he approached Alvida.
[IMAGE HERE]
He was shirtless, displaying his perfect muscles, and covered in tattoos. He was wearing flip-flops and shorts that seemed quite tight on him now, but he didn't seem to mind it much.
He walked towards Alvida without hesitation. Alvida, seeing the incredibly beautiful man who showed most of his athletic body, blushed a bit, something Koby noticed beside her, his eyes and mouth wide open in a huge grimace!
"IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!" He screamed internally.
"It was right to be sure that I would meet you on this wonderful day! So it's you! The woman named Alvida, who claims to be the most beautiful woman in this sea, isn't it?!" He said with a big smile, without caring that he was surrounded by 50 pirates and many civilian bodies on the ground.

Monkey D. Luffy's POV
Aboard a commercial ship, East Blue.
...
...
"I was right to be sure I would meet you on this wonderful day! So it's you! The woman named Alvida, who claims to be the most beautiful woman in this whole sea, isn't it?" He said with a big smile, not caring that he was surrounded by 50 pirates and many civilian bodies on the ground.
...
...
Luffy smiled at her provocatively, making her blush even more. She wondered if she was seeing things or if this handsome man seemed genuinely interested in her?
Koby also noticed Luffy's genuine interest in his captain and stood there stunned, feeling like he wanted to vomit. Koby wondered if this man had some problem with the opposite sex or was blind, as he seemed to be flirting with a terrible, fat, and ugly woman like Alvida.
"Is this guy blind? He must have some sort of mental issue or something!?" Koby exclaimed as he tried to make sense of the situation before him.
"I-I am, Captain A-Alvida!" Koby wanted to die after hearing his captain stammering like a love-stricken maiden at this moment.
"B-But who are you?" She asked for his name, and Luffy smiled at her, looking into her eyes with a certain spark.
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will conquer all the seas in this world!" His voice was controlled, but everyone heard it in shock.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Silence fell over the place.
"!"
Suddenly, all the pirates burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Did you hear that?!"
"He'll conquer all the seas? Who does he think he is?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"That was funny. What a strange guy. I heard something that brightened my day out here at the end of the world..."
"I agree with you, HAHAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
While all 50 pirates laughed at Luffy's bold words, Koby was horrified by the statement. Surprisingly, Alvida remained calm in the face of these words, as she stared at the handsome man full of confidence. She was blushing without anyone noticing.
Luffy, on the other hand, remained calm despite the mockery and confidently smiled at Alvida.
"Tell me, my lady, what is your dream?" Luffy suddenly asked her, which made her surprised by the question and thoughtful.
"Me? I haven't thought about it yet... I-I, maybe... maybe I want to marry a handsome husband and have a family with many children..." She stammered at first but timidly continued with a red face.
Her response made everyone stop laughing and look at her strangely, half of them wide-eyed, the other half wondering if she had been replaced by someone else. Koby was almost vomiting blood at this moment.
"What's happening here? We were just informed that we were robbed right under our noses, and now Alvida, who moments ago wanted to find the thief and punish anyone for their incompetence, is now talking like a teenage girl in love!" Koby wanted to faint at this moment; it was too much for him to absorb, refusing to accept the reality before his eyes.
"That's a very noble dream, to live in peace with your family is a very good thing," Luffy had a moment of reflection, looking out to the horizon, and suddenly his eyes returned to Alvida, who was blushing with emotion.
"My lady, I can say that when I first saw you, I was certain that I had found my soulmate." The man said with a seductive smile, making Alvida, with her 200 kilos, open her eyes in surprise and quickly turn away in embarrassment, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Everyone, everyone, Koby, the pirates, and even the prisoners who were tied up by the pirates, fell to the ground at this moment. Just a short while ago, their captain was breaking their bones over stolen treasures, and now she was acting like a girl seeing her first crush, while the man in front of her clearly had some vision or mental problems because every time he spoke, it only fueled this madness.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!" They all exclaimed while wanting to vomit blood.
"Are you blind?" Suddenly, the pink-haired boy, who was vomiting blood, shouted and quickly closed his mouth, realizing he had spoken loud enough for everyone to hear.
But to his surprise, this man named Luffy smiled and walked toward a stunned Alvida with his actions and words.
"A boy like you shouldn't meddle in the love between two people," the man said calmly, once again causing everyone to fall to the ground with dumbfounded expressions.
"Yes, Koby-kun, you should mind your own business while your dear boss talks to this wonderful knight!" Alvida spoke in a tone she had never used before. She seemed totally in love now.
'Koby-kun?' Koby vomited much more blood at the sight of Alvida, who had always treated him worse than a dog on her ship, now acting all sweet in front of this crazy man, who clearly had some vision problems.
The man approached Alvida with the woman completely embarrassed and submissive at this moment. He raised his arm and lightly caressed her chin, making Alvida blush like a tomato.
"Wait, Mr. Luffy, we can't rush things like this, maybe we can get to know each other first..." She said timidly. No one said anything, as it was too much for their brains to comprehend and process in all these scenes; they seemed mentally broken.
"I know, my love, but I must say some things for our future together." Luffy began.
"Our future together?" She exclaimed with a touch of passion.
"First, you're not the most beautiful woman in these seas. You're quite ugly, actually." He said calmly.
This shocked Alvida, who realized she couldn't feel the ground beneath her anymore. The others remained silent; they were already broken and couldn't handle any more surprises. Otherwise, they would all be vomiting blood along with Koby.
[Author's note: They're not actually vomiting blood, I know this is a Chinese idiom, but I can't think of a more hardcore term to describe the situation.]
Luffy continued speaking, while Alvida was almost in tears.
"But I don't deny that you're my soulmate, and I know you'll become the most beautiful woman in East Blue. I have no doubt about that." He flashed a seductive smile.
Alvida was stunned as she looked at him emotionally once again.
"Really? Do you believe I can be beautiful?" Alvida couldn't help but ask, excited after that last shock.
"I have no doubt about that, my love. That's your true dream, and I believe in you..." Luffy said calmly.
"But you'll have to achieve that dream before we can finally be together," he said.
"Wait! Are you saying you're leaving, and we can't be together now?" She exclaimed alarmingly.
Luffy calmly took her hand and said, "I know it's difficult, but it's not the time for us to be together yet. But soon we will meet, and you will follow me for the rest of our lives, my beautiful Alvida, I'm sure of that." He spoke seriously, looking into her eyes.
"Is that true?" She couldn't help but ask again, a bit lost.
"Yes, you will become a beautiful woman soon and will be able to find me at that time. As a demonstration of my confidence in you..." Luffy suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist in front of her.
"My grandfather taught me the best way to show love to someone. Your name says it all." Alvida heard all this paralyzed as she saw Luffy pull his fist back and prepare to strike her, but before she could say anything, it was already too late.
"Your name is the Fists of Love! This is my demonstration of the love I feel for you." Luffy said and punched Alvida in the stomach before she could react.
"WHAT?" She only managed to express herself before feeling her world shatter.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Strength, apply 10 times!]
Luffy unleashed the power of the Moa Moa no Mi.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM
With the strength of his fist increased tenfold, coupled with his monstrous body, this impact exploded Alvida, and everything in the space where she stood was destroyed. Koby, who was closest, flew off the ship and into the water like a rocket.
As for Alvida, no one could see her in the next moment, as the force was so strong that she was in front of Luffy one moment and disappeared in the next, with the entire ground being destroyed. No one could even see the enormous woman flying with such force.
"What the heck is happening here!!!!" A collective scream was heard with their comical faces.
'I think I might have overdone it a bit...' Luffy said as he looked at his fist while opening and closing it.
'Either way, I know she'll be fine, I just hope I threw her in the same direction as Luffy did in the original and that she can find that slippery fruit.' I sighed and looked at everyone, who were now looking at me as if they were seeing a terrible monster.
"You! What are you waiting for? Your captain just flew in that direction with one of my Fists of Love; go rescue her now!" I growled at them.
"How can that be called a Fist of Love!?" They exclaimed, but then they ran to the other ship to set sail after their captain.
Meanwhile, a young boy with pink hair climbed onto the commercial ship after emerging from the sea.
He hesitated about whether he should return to the pirate ship or not, seeing that everyone was heading to rescue Alvida.
"Hey, kid. I'm sure you can help me find the location of Shell City!" I asked him, pulling him out of his conflicting thoughts.
"What? How could I help you?" He asked suspiciously.
"By taking me there, of course. If you want to go back to that pirate ship, it's your problem." I simply said, ignoring the blood-vomiting from him shortly after those words.
Ignoring the thanks of the other survivors on the commercial ship, as Luffy wanted to get to a beach quickly, he and Koby took a boat from the ship and headed to the Shell Town, where Zoro should be imprisoned at the moment.
In the meantime, Luffy noticed but ignored the small boat with an orange-haired woman heading in the opposite direction with some treasure bags as he was sailing with Koby.
"We'll meet again, Nami," Luffy murmured to himself, not looking back at the girl on the other side.
"Did you say something, Mr. Luffy?" Koby asked a little cautiously.
"It's nothing, just keep rowing..." Luffy said lazily.
Thus, a timid pink-haired boy and a man who looked more like a thug set off for Shells Town.
