Third Person POV

Shimotsuki Village, East Blue.

...

...

As the evening descended, when the sun poured its golden rays over the horizon, illuminating the vast ocean in a magical way, the Kingdom of Goa majestically came into view. Nestled on the coast of a lush and vibrant island in the East Blue, this kingdom, rich in history and opulence, seemed like a piece of paradise in that picturesque sea.

The towering towers of the royal castle rose, taking on the pastel hues of the setting sky, causing its walls to shimmer like precious stones. The royal garden, filled with vibrant flowers and exotic plants, emitted a sweet fragrance befitting its reputation as the most dazzling in all the seas.

The city of Goa stretched at the foot of the castle, with its narrow cobblestone streets and buildings that blended ancient and modern architecture. The inhabitants, dressed in elegant and vibrant clothes, looked like living art canvases as they paraded through the bustling streets.

As night approached, magical lanterns lit up, bathing the city in a soft, golden glow. The music and laughter of a distant celebration could be heard, floating through the air like an invitation for anyone who wished to join in the celebration of life.

However, behind this dazzling facade and its aura of prosperity, the Kingdom of Goa hid dark secrets and deep inequalities. A king with cruel ambitions and a desire for power at any cost prepared to extend his claws over a precious treasure that would change the fate of all under the wrath of a powerful pirate in these waters.

At the top of a hill, commanding a splendid view of the city, stood the majestic Goa Palace, an architectural masterpiece that loomed over the humble houses of the city like an imposing guardian. Its walls were adorned with sparkling white stones, extracted from the quarries of the surrounding mountains, giving the palace an almost celestial appearance under the setting sun. Massive columns, adorned with sculptures of mythological creatures, supported the grand entrance porch, a portal that whispered of grandeur and authority.

Inside the palace, the corridors were lined with rare marbles and luxurious tapestries that told the story of centuries of reign. Crystal chandeliers hung from high ceilings, casting a golden glow on every step of those who dared to enter the royal precinct. At every corner, statues of past kings, sporting gleaming crowns and ornate robes, looked with an air of relentless judges, silent witnesses to the legacy of royalty.

In the center of the grand audience hall, a massive ebony throne, studded with rare jewels, dominated the space. An imposing man who always had an arrogant face rested on this throne; his gaze was not as cold and determined as usual, a constant reminder of his power. Dressed in royal silk and velvet, he personified the pride and authority of a king who ruled with an iron fist.

This man, known as King Sterry, was the monarch of the Kingdom of Goa and was determined to maintain his position at any cost. His gaze fixed on the city spread out before him, he was not prepared to face a challenge that was coming to him from the sea and could shake the foundations of his kingdom and test his ambition to the limit.

His expression was a mix of impatience and irritation, while his fingers incessantly tapped on the throne's arm.

"No news of them?! It's been four long and agonizing days!" He roared, making the sound echo in the ornate walls of the hall. The courtiers and advisors, kneeling before the throne, trembled with the intensity of his anger.

"Your Majesty," began the castle steward, a middle-aged man with a worried expression, "we lost contact with all of them as soon as they set out in pursuit of the target."

King Sterry clenched his fists, his nails scraping against the jewel-studded arms of the throne. "Cursed! After all the hard work and fortune I invested in obtaining the Devil Fruits, they simply vanish before me?!"

The steward tried to calm the king, despite his own unease. "Your Majesty, I believe it is too early to conclude such a thing. They are loyal to you and the kingdom, and their strength is unparalleled in this sea. There is no one who can challenge the power you entrusted to them."

Sterry pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed. "You might be right..." he finally admitted, the fury slowly giving way to a more contemplative expression. "They would never betray me or let a bunch of pirates prevail over them."

"Yes, my king," the steward agreed. "It's possible they encountered some communication mishap. They are skilled and loyal; I'm sure they will return soon with news of success."

King Sterry nodded, appearing, for a moment, calmer and more reflective. However, the shadow of concern still hung over him, knowing that future events could shape the destiny of his kingdom irrevocably.

Suddenly, everyone in the audience chamber was startled by the familiar "Pero pero pero" echoing from a corner of the room. It was the characteristic sound of Den Den Mushi, the snails used as phones in this vast and intriguing world.

"Finally, are they in contact because they have the mermaid!?" Sterry exclaimed, his voice laden with expectation, while his gaze fixed on the Den Den Mushi. His hand reached eagerly towards the device, as if wanting to grasp the news with his own hands.

The persistent sound of "Pero pero pero" continued filling the room with an aura of anticipation. The courtiers and advisors present could barely contain their emotions, whispering to each other with looks of expectation.

Then, the sound of the Den Den Mushi was abruptly interrupted by an audible thud: "KATCHA!" Silence fell over the room, and everyone prepared to hear the awaited news.

"Are you the king of the Goa Kingdom!?" The unfamiliar voice sounded from the other end of the connection, defiant and undisturbed.

The room quickly plunged into a strange and ominous atmosphere, with the attentive eyes of the courtiers fixed on King Sterry. The monarch's hopes, which had been raised with the possibility of good news, were shaken by this unexpected response. His fingers clenched tightly on the ebony throne as he struggled to contain the tension that seized him, leaving him tense and filled with countless questions.

"Who are you, cursed one!?" Sterry roared at the unknown, his voice echoing through the luxurious hall, shattering all his expectations of favorable news. His face twisted in an expression of fury and challenge.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the mermaid you are trying to capture," Luffy responded calmly, challenging the Goa king with his fearless voice.

"You damn pirate and insolent, hand over that mermaid for your own good!" Sterry vociferated, his voice laden with authority.

"What are you threatening me based on? If you think a bunch of knights can stop us, you're deeply mistaken," Luffy retorted, maintaining his calm as he defied the Goa king.

"I am the king of Goa! Do not insult me, pirate!" Sterry insisted, his unyielding arrogance despite Luffy's challenging presence.

"What happened to the Lord Commander and the others!?" Sterry questioned again, his expression revealing genuine concern for his knights whom he had spent a fortune cultivating.

"They are all dead..." Luffy's response came like a sharp blade, cutting through the tense air of the room.

"You wretch, I will hunt you down!" Sterry declared with determination, his voice turning into thunder that echoed through the hall.

"Don't worry; I'll save you some time. I'm coming to your kingdom right now..." The pirate responded with a sinister promise, leaving a heavy silence hanging over the room as the darkness of uncertainty loomed over the future.

*Katcha*

As soon as the snail device was disconnected, a momentary silence fell over the palace's audience chamber. Sterry, like the courtiers and advisors, held his breath, aware that a storm was approaching.

It was at that exact moment that the clear sound of the city bells began to echo through the palace corridors, breaking the silence with palpable urgency. Sterry felt a shiver run down his spine as the bells, located in the church towers, in the squares, and at various points in the city, rang with a rapid and frenetic cadence. It seemed as if the bells themselves had been awakened by a signal of imminent danger right after Luffy ended the conversation.

The sound of the bells spread through the streets of Goa City, interrupting the daily activities of the people. Sterry watched from one of the palace windows, surprised and apprehensive, as residents near the church towers looked up, like him, perplexed by the sudden cacophony.

The tolling of the bells acted as a city-wide alert in Goa. Inhabitants rushed to their homes, shops were hastily closed, and soldiers prepared to face the approaching danger. Sterry felt the weight of duty and responsibility as the king of Goa, with the city on the brink of confronting an unknown and threatening challenge.

"What is this?!" Sterry shouted, his voice echoing through the hall, his eyes widening in surprise and alarm.

"Your Majesty!" A knight hurriedly entered the room, his expression palpably panicked. "A pirate ship is approaching the kingdom, it's the dreadful Straw Hats!"

King Sterry swallowed hard, the news hitting him like a lightning bolt. "What?! Are they really here to threaten me?" His voice trembled with anxiety and fear, while his fists clenched tightly on the throne.

"Arrest them! Do not let them approach the palace at any cost!" Sterry was hysterical at that moment, his words coming out with a tone of desperate command. He knew that the imminent threat from the Straw Hat pirates jeopardized not only his kingdom but also his own power and safety.

The soldiers and knights present in the room quickly moved, obeying their king's order. Commotion and tension filled the air as everyone prepared for the pirates' imminent invasion. The palace was now at the epicenter of an impending crisis, and Sterry's determination was the only thing keeping him steadfast on the throne as danger approached.

Meanwhile, aboard the pirate ship approaching the island, the Straw Hats observed the kingdom of Goa with surprising indifference.

"Is this your kingdom? It's not bad..." Nami commented casually, casting an interested glance over the unfolding landscape. It was her first time here, just like everyone else. The picturesque houses and buildings spread across the city, adorned with elegant architecture and vibrant colors.

"I never lived there, I lived with bandits in those mountains over there." Luffy pointed to the other side, indicating the mountains surrounding the kingdom, reminiscing about his childhood days in the nearby forests.

"I see... This kingdom seems quite beautiful." Usopp observed, remaining calm next to his scope.

"When I was younger, I used to steal in that city with my brothers." Luffy smiled nostalgically, his eyes recalling the mischief of his youth.

"You have brothers, Luffy-Sama?" Shirahoshi asked curiously.

"I have three of them, even if some aren't blood-related." Luffy commented, thinking of his childhood and his fellow troublemakers.

"Three? I only knew Ace..." Yamato murmured, surprised by the revelation.

"Anyway, it seems like we're causing quite a stir." Zoro interrupted, not hiding his excitement as he watched the city become a frenzy of activity as they approached.

In the city, the bells echoed through the air, a shrill and urgent sound cutting through the panic taking hold of the streets. The clamor of the bells reverberated in every corner, like a desperate call to the population. People ran in all directions, their expressions of fear and uncertainty reflected in the deserted streets. Shops were hastily closed, merchants abandoned their stalls, and children were pulled indoors by worried parents. The kingdom of Goa was in a state of turmoil, and the sense of alarm hung in the air like a dark cloud.

While the inhabitants panicked, the Straw Hats remained calm, their expressions maintaining the indifference of experienced pirates. To them, the city's commotion was just confirmation that their plan was working. They knew that the kingdom of Goa would be the next target of their plunder, and the population's anxiety would only ease their way.

At the port, a crowd of soldiers gathered, preparing to face the imminent threat. Armor glistened in the sun, and spears were raised in preparation for battle. Panic was spreading like an uncontrolled fire, and the fate of the kingdom of Goa hung by a thread as they awaited the arrival of the pirates.

"Looks like they want to greet us," Luffy commanded with a mischievous smile, "let's return the favor. Usopp and Shirahoshi, aim for that port." The duo quickly headed for the shooting cabins inside the ship, ready to cause more chaos.

"You really don't miss a chance to cause chaos, do you?" Nojiko commented, observing Luffy's tranquility.

"What can I say, we're pirates..." Luffy shrugged, wearing a carefree expression as the cannons of his ship prepared to fire.

On the deck of the majestic Black Pearl, Usopp and Shirahoshi moved with determination as they headed towards the shooting cabin. The ship, with its aura of pirate power and an intimidating appearance, hovered over the sea with an imposing presence.

Inside the shooting cabin, the atmosphere was high-tech. Control panels gleamed with indicator lights, and a series of joysticks allowed precise control of the cannons. The cannons themselves were a wonder of pirate engineering, equipped with advanced systems that allowed for aim adjustment and automatic loading of cannonballs.

Usopp, with his fearless face and eyes shining with excitement, led the way. He skillfully took one of the joysticks, moving it effortlessly to align the cannon's aim ahead. His eyes were fixed on the horizon, where the port of the kingdom of Goa awaited. With innate skill, he ensured that the aim was perfectly aligned with the target.

Shirahoshi, with her gentle yet powerful presence, followed Usopp as if swimming through the air to her own cabin. She observed the control panel with curiosity, fascinated by the technology about to be used. With her delicate touch, she pressed one of the buttons, preparing the cannon for the shot. Her gentle touch was a contrast to the machine's complex mechanics, but it made it clear that she was ready to unleash the action.

With a slight nod, Usopp initiated the procedure. The cannon adjusted automatically, moving smoothly thanks to the joystick. With a mechanical hum, the cannonballs were automatically loaded into the artillery. It was evident that the Straw Hats' pirate technology was ready to wreak havoc.

As the Black Pearl advanced toward the panicked port of the kingdom of Goa, Usopp and Shirahoshi used the advanced technology of the cannons to launch an explosive greeting that would shake the foundations of the kingdom and signal the imminent arrival of the Straw Hats.

BOOM!

BOOM!

The first shots echoed through the front of the Black Pearl. The explosions were deafening, shaking the deck forcefully and sending clouds of smoke and debris into the sky. The advanced cannons, with their precise technology, hit the soldiers of the kingdom of Goa directly positioned in the port.

The explosions were surrounded by a bright flash and the thunder of impact. The soldiers, unprepared for the quick and fierce retaliation of the Straw Hats, were thrown to the ground, screaming in agony.

"These two are good at shooting..." Lami commented as she watched the destruction caused by the cannons.

"Keep it up; we'll invade the kingdom as soon as we're done with this group of soldiers," Luffy announced, his voice filled with determination. He didn't hide his intentions to plunder the kingdom of Goa, making it clear that there would be no mercy.

"Are we going to kill innocent people?" Reiju asked, slightly alarmed by the brutality of the action.

Luffy quickly corrected, "Don't jump to that kind of conclusion. We don't need to kill to steal; just beat them if they don't want to hand over the treasures." His voice indicated that there was a code of conduct among the Straw Hats, even when they were about to pillage the kingdom.

While the port was in flames, the Black Pearl continued to approach with its destructive arsenal, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in its wake, preparing for its imminent invasion.

Chapter 80: Chapter 79 - Plundering the Goa Kingdom 2.

[Chapter Size: 1758 Words.]

Third Person POV

Goa Kingdom, East Blue.

...

...

As the sun set on the horizon, casting a spectacle of golden and reddish hues across the sea, the port of the Goa Kingdom was shrouded in a fog of smoke and chaos. The Black Pearl, the proud pirate ship of the Straw Hats, had unleashed a devastating bombardment that had turned the once peaceful port into a scene of destruction.

The cannons of the Black Pearl roared like beasts, launching salvos of explosive projectiles that erupted in flames and smoke. Once untouched buildings were reduced to rubble, while anchored ships were ablaze, their structures burning in a terrifying display.

The imposing arrival of the Black Pearl had instilled panic, and local residents and soldiers were in full retreat. The port, once a site of tranquil commerce, was now ablaze and in chaos, with the sea waters reflecting the destruction the pirate ship had unleashed.

The deafening noise of the cannons was replaced by the crackling of flames and the screams of people running for cover. The scene bore witness to the brutality of the imminent invasion by the Straw Hats, as the Black Pearl remained anchored in the center of the chaos, ready for the next phase of its attack.

With the smoke and chaos of the port bombardment as a backdrop, Luffy disembarked from the Black Pearl alongside Yamato, Nami, Lami, Reiju, and Zoro. The ship's deck was warm beneath their feet, and the atmosphere was electrically charged with anticipation.

Luffy quickly glanced over his team, trusting that the comrades left behind on the ship were dealing with the kingdom's forces in the port. He knew he could rely on their skills, allowing the group to advance to the next phase of the operation.

Shirahoshi, with her gentle eyes and kind personality, approached the captain with a determined expression. "Let me go too, Luffy-Sama!" she requested with a touch of anxiety in her voice.

Luffy nodded, understanding the need to keep her protected. "Alright, but stay with me the whole time," he ordered, ensuring that Shirahoshi was under his direct protection as they faced the Goa Kingdom and its defiant king.

The group of seven advanced through the tumultuous streets of the Goa Kingdom. Shirahoshi, determined to see the city, rode on Luffy's back. Her kind and concerned gaze mixed with determination as she observed the destruction caused by the port bombardment.

Luffy led the way, his determined expression as he headed toward the city center, where the imposing castle of the king stood. The rest of the group followed, staying alert as they watched the panic unfold around them.

People in the streets were in a state of panic, their voices exuding fear and uncertainty.

The nobles walking the streets of the Goa Kingdom were dressed in extravagant and ostentatious attire, an effort to display their status and wealth. Their clothing reflected the opulence that the reign of Goa represented, as Luffy recalled from his memories.

Nobles always wore clothes made of fine and luxurious fabrics, often adorned with expensive jewels and elaborate details. Many of them flaunted flowing cloaks that trailed to the ground, with gold and silver embroideries shining in the light of the setting sun.

Previously, these nobles paraded through these streets, their pomp and display of wealth starkly contrasting with the chaotic situation that the invasion of the Straw Hats had created. Now, they seemed like frightened rabbits, their expensive clothes not enough to mask the restlessness and fear hanging in the air.

As the group passed by, words of disdain and hostility were thrown their way.

"Accursed pirates!"

"Go away! You scum!"

"Do you have any idea what you're doing, robbing a kingdom?!"

Luffy commanded, recognizing that confronting the hostile crowd directly was unnecessary.

Nami assumed a defensive stance at this point, gracefully channeling her wind powers. She created a swirl of gray and green wind in her hand. This cyclone of air was unleashed over the tumultuous crowd, acting as an effective hurricane that pushed away the hostile protesters.

The wind, under Nami's controlled force, swept through the streets, lifting the protesters off the ground and tossing them away, unable to resist the fury of the storm.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"HELP!"

Screams and pleas echoed as people were uprooted from the ground. Although the impact was powerful, most would survive the fall.

The wind explosion not only startled the hostile noble protesters but also the rest of the population, who watched the display of power with astonishment and fear. Witnessing wind manipulated by a Devil Fruit, people began running in shock and horror, fearing the presence of the dreaded pirates.

With the path temporarily cleared, the Straw Hats continued their journey towards the castle of the King of Goa.

After dispersing the hostile crowd, the path to the royal palace became notably easier. On the horizon, the grandiose Goa Castle began to emerge, imposing and majestic, contrasting with the turmoil unfolding in the city streets.

When they finally spotted the castle's entrance, they were surprised to see a massive wall separating the castle from the city. This obstacle only confirmed the careful and defensive nature of the Goa kings.

Lami commented, "Kings are quite cautious, aren't they..."

Luffy nodded. "True, but nothing we can't handle."

At that moment, one of the 200 guards stationed in front of the castle stood out, shouting accusations against the intruders.

"Pirates! Do you have any idea what you're doing?!"

Luffy sighed, recognizing the cliché of the situation. He glanced at his companions, assessing the determination in their eyes.

"Do you want to end this?" Luffy asked.

"Of course!" Zoro replied, drawing his sword from his waist with a determined expression.

"That's easy," Lami commented, eager to join the action and prove her skill.

Reiju, with a shrewd smile, suggested, "You can stay with the captain; we can handle them without you."

Lami raised an eyebrow, surprised by the proposal. "Huh?! I thought you would be the one to step aside..."

Reiju chuckled softly. "How about a competition? This will prove I'm better than you."

Lami accepted the challenge, facing Reiju with determination. "So, who takes down more. Let's see if you're really useful, my rival."

Reiju and Lami quickly advanced toward the 200 soldiers positioned in front of them. Both women were determined to showcase their skills and prove who was the better fighter.

Reiju demonstrated her unique agility by launching a series of devastating kicks executed with grace and precision. Her movements were a dance of destruction as she neutralized opponents with her agile and powerful legs.

Lami, on the other hand, brandished her sword and invoked the powers of her Devil Fruit, the Ope Ope no Mi. With a single movement, she altered the space around her and delivered swift, precise strikes, cutting through the space in front of her and creating invisible blades that affected the soldiers. Her combination of fencing skills and spatial manipulation made her a formidable opponent.

The competition between the two was fierce, with Reiju showcasing her prowess with lethal kicks, similar to Sanji's fighting style, while Lami exerted her mastery over the Ope Ope no Mi and her sword skills. Each sought to outdo the other, and the count of fallen soldiers remained balanced as the fight continued.

"HEY, HEY, wait for me!" Zoro exclaimed with a touch of anger in his voice, frustrated at being left out and eager to show his own skill.

Reiju and Lami continued their intense competition, demonstrating their abilities with each bold move. The scene around them was filled with incapacitated soldiers, many still trying to recover from Reiju's powerful kicks and Lami's precise attacks. Spectators, including the other Straw Hat members, watched in admiration as the two women fought, driven by their fierce rivalry.

Shirahoshi, watching the scenes on Luffy's back, exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Lami-Sama and Reiju-Sama are so competitive!"

Luffy, still somewhat perplexed by the intensity of the competition between the two, commented, "Something like that..."

Yamato, beside Luffy, asked, "What do we do now?"

Luffy responded with determination, "Let's see the king; they're already dealing with all the enemies."

Nami, excited about the prospect of looting the royal palace, commented eagerly, "Let's go; I can't wait to check out the treasures in that palace!"

As they advanced along the path dotted with incapacitated soldiers, it became evident that the competition between Lami and Reiju had wreaked considerable havoc on the palace guard. The ground was littered with fallen men, primarily due to the rivalry between the two women, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Luffy entered the palace with calm confidence, moving through the corridors now populated by knocked-out soldiers. The interior of the palace seemed like an extension of his home, filled with grandeur and opulence.

Shirahoshi, noting the resemblance between royal palaces and her home in the deep sea, commented with a touch of surprise, "It looks like my home..."

Nami, following closely, pondered the repetitive nature of royal palaces, "I believe all kings have castles that resemble each other..."

Yamato, however, found a notable difference between the royal castle and the residence of her adoptive father, Kaido. In a murmur, she expressed her opinion, "Doesn't look anything like the old man's castle... Bastard..."

Shirahoshi's curiosity was piqued, and she asked with interest, "I still wonder who this old bastard is that Yamato always talks about..."

Luffy, avoiding going into details on the matter, changed the subject and directed his attention to a large door rising before them. It was evident that this door led to the audience chamber of the King of Goa.

Before the imposing door, Luffy focused his energy, and purple flames began to dance around his hand. His fist turned into a blazing torrent of amethyst flames, enveloping it in a threatening aura.

With a determined look, Luffy muttered to himself, "It's time to face this bastard king."

The purple flames flickered, illuminating the dark corridor as Luffy pushed open the palace doors, ready for the confrontation that would change the kingdom of Goa.
