Third Person POV
Somewhere on sea, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy was looking at Ryokugyu with a solemn gaze, while the tree itself did not like how all those pirates were looking at it, as if they were competing among themselves for who would deliver the final blow.
"It's a beautiful tree, it will be satisfying to cut it down." Zoro commented, drawing his katanas from their sheaths.
"This guy has a funny face." Yamato murmured, looking strangely.
"He's big, but seems so easy to beat." Hugo commented with crossed arms.
"It's a shame that my rival isn't here, I could beat her in this competition." Reiju commented with a cigarette in her mouth.
"What beautiful flowers, the forest is so vast!" Shirahoshi ignored the tree and started to observe the effect of the mori mori no mi.
"..." Luffy remained silent.
"..." Kuina also made no comment.
"Hey, you should be paying attention to our enemy!" Nami said.
"Yes, Nami-Sama!" Shirahoshi spoke, now looking at the tree.
"You all seem very calm." The tree spoke for the first time, observing them.
"Because we are calm, you spinach." Zoro replied, placing his last weapon in his mouth.
"Then try to get rid of this!" Ryokugyu and countless roots grew under the crew members' feet, but all disappeared at that moment, escaping the reach of the forest and appearing in the sky.
"Hey, Zoro initiated the attack!" Kuina murmured, as Zoro was already in front of the tree with his swords.
Seeing this, Ryokugyu launched an attack while using haki to defend and attack the swordsman, the swords and a fist with bakery and haki clashed against each other, creating an explosion of red lightning.
"You might have beaten Usopp, but that's because he's not a specialist in armament haki!" Zoro commented and forced his swords against the fist, cutting it.
"What?! Your haki beat mine?" Ryokugyu wasn't fighting seriously yet, but was surprised by this development.
"You should be paying attention to your surroundings." A voice emerged from beside the tree.
"Hm?" Ryokugyu looked to the side and saw Kaido's daughter with her weapon, launching it against him, his face immediately flew back with the force of Yamato's haki.
"That hurt!!" He murmured, as he fell, new trees began to grow from the ground and flew towards Yamato, who began to dodge and punch, but could no longer get close to him, Zoro on the other side began to cut down the trees.
"This isn't good..." Ryokugyu commented and started to press the pirates even more, with the forest still growing.
Suddenly, numerous attacks, ice, red fire, purple fire, wind, water, and stones, began to bombard the forest.
"!" Ryokugyu was surprised as his forest began to be reduced by the attacks.
"Are they overdoing it?!" Vivi asked from the boat seeing everything being bombarded.
In the sky, Luffy launched his flames, Reiju the phoenix flames kicking with fire cuts, Shirahoshi created a water ball with her hands and threw them turning into water dragons, Nami created winds with her hands, Hugo created giant stones and launched them with his fists, and Kuina sliced the air sending cold energy.
The forest turned into a series of elemental explosions, while below, Yamato ran through the explosions heading towards Ryokugyu to launch another attack, and Zoro sent cuts eliminating all the fist trees.
Ryokugyu was really under pressure, when he ended up losing his posture and the swordsman took advantage of his open side and launched a cut. The tree was cut in half, but Ryokugyu managed to escape, while another tree emerged further away.
However, a line of blood appeared on his face. "That's it!" Ryokugyu seemed quite frustrated, so much so that he didn't even notice the pink-haired woman using Geppo and approaching while her feet filled with flames with a spin and hitting another side of the tree's cheek.
The tree felt the haki and flames on Reiju's feet and was thrown to the opposite side, while it flew breaking everything in the forest.
"I will kill you all!" Ryokugyu exclaimed again, but his sound was muffled as soon as Nami flew with her Garuda wings in front of him and using both hands, enveloped the forest within a hurricane.
Ryokugyu tried to hold his forest against that wind, a heavy man landed in front of him in the midst of the woods, Hugo propelled himself even with that wind and jumped on Ryokugyu, closing his hand with Haki and punching his chin before the tree could react much.
Ryokugyu immediately flew into the sky with the force of Hugo along with Nami's wind. He finally found himself outside of the hurricane while his face was already bleeding. Shirahoshi appeared at that moment in front of him.
"Tree-Sama, I will fight against you," Shirahoshi spoke, somewhat shyly, and with a movement of her two hands, she created water using oxygen molecules and a huge water sphere to trap Ryokugyu inside, Kuina made her move appearing beside Shirahoshi and using her sword cut, the water ball turned into spiky ice.
"It looks like it's my turn..." Luffy was even further above everyone, he raised his fist behind... and everyone feeling this, began to move away, even Yamato, Hugo, Zoro, and Nami in the forest started to retreat.
The flames rocks began to grow through Luffy's fist and expanded until it became a massive flame, running like a vortex, until Luffy flew towards the ice sphere with his fist with those flames and punched it.
The ice sphere caught fire and flew downwards like a purple meteor, colliding with the forest above the sea, what happened after it fell was an endless explosion of Luffy's flames, which like a meteor, began to run everything around.
The forest was entirely covered by the flames and disintegrating everything...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
The explosion stopped only 30 seconds later while the smoke and steam from the sea rose covering everything in it.
"Damn captain... did you win?" Zoro murmured.
"You know I didn't, Zoro." Luffy commented before feeling something.
The sea appeared full of debris from what was left of the forest scattered everywhere, while the water was returning to normal, a sprout emerged and spread again like the first time, and another forest emerged again with the central tree.
Ryokugyu finally emerged, but not as well as before, his face was toasted to charcoal, his nose was broken, faces cut, and a bit sunken from the previous attacks.
"It's quite a sight... He managed to become even uglier..." Hugo murmured.
"Hahaha. He looks angry." Luffy smiled.
"..." Ryokugyu couldn't exclaim in front of the beating he took, he could only growl and start attacking them again. His forest followed to the sky with fist trees and he tried to hit the group that began to dodge again and go in his direction.
Again, the fight continued with Luffy and the others not combining attacks anymore, going into a direct confrontation against the forest creature.
The crew on the Black Pearl continued to watch the show of elements that followed in the next 20 minutes.
"They're giving him a beating." Alvida said, looking at the fight.
"GRRRR!"
"KAROOO!"
"WOOOOLF!"
"SHARY!"
"GO CAPTAIN!"
"AMAZING!"
"At least some seem the animals seem so happy." Nojiko laughed, seeing the animals with Bepo and Chopper cheering for Luffy and the others.
In the end, the forest once again was destroyed and Ryokugyu was even worse off. "Why... why am I losing so badly to a group of rookies!" Ryokugyu growled, he really could not do beyond trying to defend, one of his eyes was already closed while more blood dripped from his nose and mouth, suffering numerous attacks with Haki.
"I think we should finish him." Luffy commented.
"Luffy-Sama! Can I try something?" Shirahoshi suddenly said.
"Hm? Sure... I guess you can." Luffy commented, wondering what she wanted to do, seeing the forest emerging again, Shirahoshi stood in front of the group swimming through the air.
She took a deep breath and looked at the tree with a much fiercer look than usual.
Ryokugyu immediately felt that something bad was going to happen, Shirahoshi then shouted. "COME!" She said, and a sound wave emerged from her.
The sea immediately entered a tidal wave, leaving everyone surprised.
"What is this?!" Ryokugyu asked, frowning.
"HEY, what's happening?!" Vivi asked worried while Chopper started to run away crying in fear.
"I don't know..." Nojiko commented.
"What's happening?" Robin also asked.
"This...?" Usopp finally woke up and looked around, moving to the side of the ship. "It's like what happened in the East Blue!" He exclaimed.
"She's using that!" The crew members who had seen that scene before were surprised, and even Luffy looked on with a raised eyebrow as the entire horizon trembled after Shirahoshi made her call.
Around the forest, a huge shadow began to emerge from the water, and before Ryokugyu could react, the sea rose between the forest and began to cover it.
"WHAT IS THIS!?" Ryokugyu was scared.
"We should get out of here!" Luffy said, seeing that they would also be enveloped by the shadow. He used his increased speed and grabbed the mermaid by the waist with a cry of surprise, and started kicking everyone's butt so they flew to the ship like projectiles while screaming, Luffy ended up leaving last with Shirahoshi.
The shadow began to rise, and Luffy escaped before he and Shirahoshi were swallowed.
"A monster!" Bepo shouted from the ship, seeing how it was insignificant compared to that.
Everyone was also stunned, even those who wanted to scold Luffy for receiving his kick in their buttocks.
In the end, a huge sea monster swallowed Ryokugyu's forest without catching the Black Pearl. Luffy looked at the creature with the huge eye, making even Laboon, who was already large, seem small.
The monster looked back, mainly at the mermaid who looked at it with curiosity, "Thank you for coming! Now you can go back!" Shirahoshi exclaimed, and Luffy frowned, after all, they almost got swallowed too.
The sea king seemed to listen to Shirahoshi, and the next moment, returned to the sea generating a huge wave, but without harming anyone else.
Luffy returned to the deck, landing softly in the middle while everyone gathered, the ship was still rocking from the turbulent sea, but soon it was calming down,
"I won the competition, didn't I?!" Shirahoshi had a victorious smile, one that not even her friend Megalo could share, since this innocent mermaid had awakened her power that had swallowed at least 200 meters of forest along with a man who could be classified as a navy admiral.
"I guess so..." Luffy answered, letting her go and looked at everyone, Reiju was scratching her butt while looking at him grumpily along with Kuina and Nami.
"Well, I guess we better continue our journey, it seems we won't be seeing forest man anytime soon, if he survives, that is..." Luffy said awkwardly and everyone went back to their journey to Water Seven.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Water Seven, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
In a location in the Grand Line, more than halfway across, a large structure stood in the sea. Water Seven was a unique place among all the seas. The city pulled water from the sea and threw it upwards like a colossal fountain, with the water falling back down, it quickly began to run through the city, passing through the streets as it made its way back to meet the sea. Despite having salt water running through its streets, the houses did not seem to be damaged by the salt in the air, made of materials that could resist the corrosion caused by constant exposure to salt and humidity. This is possible through the use of materials like corrosion-resistant fiber-reinforced concrete, stainless steel, and other special alloys.
The structure was not only known for its iconic shape that stood out, but the true specialty of the place was its famous shipbuilding, as great ships left its docks, sailing the seven seas and being recognized all over the world. The shipyards of Water Seven were composed of various key facilities, each playing a vital role in ship construction. Among these structures were:
Dry Docks: Specialized areas where ships were built or repaired. Equipped with gates that could be closed to drain the water and make room for work on the ship's hulls below the waterline.
Carpentry Workshops: In these workshops, skilled craftsmen worked with wood to create the skeleton and cladding of the ships. They used resistant and treated woods to ensure the durability and resistance of the ships to adverse maritime conditions.
Furnaces and Foundries: Spaces dedicated to molding and forging metals. Here, metals were transformed into essential parts for the structure of the ships, such as nails, chains, anchors, and reinforcement plates.
Sail and Rigging Workshops: Places where sails were carefully sewn and rigging was braided. The quality of the sails and ropes was fundamental for navigation, requiring resistant materials that could withstand strong winds and salt erosion.
Naval Design Studios: Here, naval architects and engineers worked together on the design of the ships, ensuring that they were not only robust and safe but also efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
Supply Warehouses: Large deposits where construction materials, tools, and supplies necessary for the construction and maintenance of the ships were stored. These warehouses ensured that all necessary materials were always available.
Testing and Launch Areas: Spaces along the coast where ships were launched into the sea for the first time. These areas allowed for buoyancy, stability, and performance tests before the ships were delivered to their owners.
Administration Offices: Where all aspects of shipbuilding were coordinated, from hiring workers to project management and contact with clients.
With all this, countless companies were in constant activity in the city. Among them, there was one that was more required, since its owner was the most important person in the city, besides already having a great fame for ending all outlaws that approach.
At this place, a commotion was already happening. "Give us the ship for free, otherwise, we will kill everyone!" A pirate holding a gun, pointing at a blonde woman spoke.
"You should take it, that was our agreement." A blue-haired man spoke, narrowing his eyes.
"We paid half the value of the ship! But the other half will be for free!" The pirate spoke, and his other 20 companions shouted; "THAT'S IT!" While pointing their firearms at the company.
The name of this company was Galley-La Company, led by the mayor himself, the blue-haired man named Iceburg.
The person who had the pistol pointed at her was Mia Khalifa, Iceburg's personal secretary, who looked at the gun with disdain, not caring about it. "You better lower that, otherwise, I will make you regret being born." She spoke in a threatening tone.
"What did you say, woman?! You have a gun pointed at you at this moment, so shut up!" The pirate spoke angrily.
Iceburg saw this and sighed. "You really aren't going to pay, are you?" He said calmly.
"Of course not!" The pirate spoke, and in the next moment, Kalifa kicked him with a powerful kick, sending him a few meters away while the other pirates were surprised, but not for long, because at that moment, the carpenters who had just been watching while everyone pointed their guns at them began to act.
The pirates didn't even have time as they were kicked by all of them, and Iceberg just watched the pirates being beaten up by everyone.
"What?!" The pirates were surprised to see their companions being beaten so easily while they began to point their guns.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
They kept shooting, but the members of the Galley-La Company were much more than simple builders, dodging bullets while punching and kicking all the pirates who tried this scam.
It didn't take long for all the pirates to be on the ground, beaten, and knocked out. "Take their weapons and tie them up, we should call the navy, let's auction their ship, since they're not going to pay the other half, we'll get the money at the auction." Iceberg commented, and everyone nodded.
"Did you see that!" The citizens shouted, watching the show from outside.
"Yes, they are unbeatable, as expected of the mayor!" Another spoke.
"ICEBERG-SAMA!" Some women screamed.
This was the atmosphere of the upper part of the city, but this could not summarize Water Seven as a whole, because on a beach at the lowest point of the city-fountain, there was a dump with everything people threw away, mainly from ships that were destroyed and parts that had to be replaced and disposed of the old ones, everything was accumulated on this side of the beach.
"Come on, we should throw this ugly ship's bow away!" Said a man who worked at a construction company on the lower side of the city.
"This thing, who makes something like this..." The other murmured, looking at the sculpture that was the beak of a ship.
"You had to see the person who was the captain of this, he was crazy!" The other murmured.
"I don't doubt it, who puts a person wearing a straw hat on the bow of the ship... it even looks like that pirate who is becoming famous." The other commented as they strained to move that bow.
They had to throw it in the lower part of the city, on the beach, so they carried the pieces to the edge of the place and pushed for it to fall.
"Hahaha. This man had green hair and he seemed to be really a fan of that pirate, but he didn't have much experience at sea and almost sank, so he had to change the mast, he went crazy when we couldn't make a ship's bow like it and he had to use another from our stock." The man laughed, commenting on what happened.
"Whatever, let's keep pushing this thing!" They nodded and threw that bow off the edge, and it fell straight onto the beach.
As soon as they did that, they returned to their company to do their work, while the ship's bow fell among other debris, it didn't take long for a group of 3 men to see the ship's bow and look at it with interest from one side of the beach.
"This looks good!" One man spoke with satisfaction.
"Franky is going to love this!" Another said while the last one just nodded.
Then climbing onto the debris, they began to remove that ship's bow and loaded it onto a cart they brought, as soon as they fitted it into the cart, they began to take the ship's part to one side of the beach.
They arrived at a corner of the beach where there was a house with neons, titled Franky's House. After pushing the cart to the entrance, they entered and saw Franky drinking his cola.
"Franky!!! We found something you're going to be interested in!" Said the man.
"Hm? What would that be?!" Franky wearing only his swim trunks said with interest.
"Come see!" his subordinate spoke, and Franky followed him outside.
"What is this!?" Franky was shocked by the mast.
"Did you like it?!" Said a man waiting for a positive response.
"Of course not! You idiot." Franky spoke loudly. "This is nothing super-perverted!" He spoke with disappointment, still wondering who would use a ship's bow in that way, looking at the image of the man with a straw hat crookedly.
"Forget it, just leave it aside, it's not enough for the super-ship I'm planning to make," he said as the men grew disheartened, and Franky went back inside to drink more cola, still hoping for an opportunity to create his perfect ship.
Meanwhile, at the port, the workers continued their service, hammering the wood of the ships. The day was quite peaceful, with no one in this city expecting what would happen next because at sea, a small shadow appeared on the horizon.
"Hm? Why do I feel something strange when I look at that ship so far away?" one of the working men murmured, seeing the small shadow.
"Hey, Lucas! What are you doing? Keep hammering that mast!" another man warned.
"Wait, can you get the magnifying glass? I want to see who is coming to town!" the same man said.
"Hm?! Why do you want to see a new visitor? It doesn't matter who it is; if it's a pirate, Iceberg can deal with him with his men."
"But it's strange... I feel something wrong with that ship. Can you get the magnifying glass!?" the man insisted.
"What a pain, Lucas!" he complained and went to the side of the ship under construction, picking up the magnifying glass on the table, "Let me see what kind of ship is scaring Lucas so much..." the man said disdainfully as he prepared to laugh at his friend while pointing the magnifying glass to the sea, expecting to see a random pirate.
"What is that?" The distant shadow finally seemed clear to him, and he saw a large black ship coming at high speed to the city, its flag making him lose the sensation of standing on the ground, because that ship was not just any pirate, but a super crew with more than 2 billion for all their heads.
Who wouldn't recognize that flag in this part of the sea and not pee in fear? Now that infamous pirate group causing chaos in the world was coming to Water Seven.
"Hey, man, are you okay?!" Lucas, the simple worker, saw his friend paralyzed on the spot.
The man looked at him with a pale face. "We must warn the city! The Straw Hats are coming here!!!" the man with the magnifying glass shouted, not only catching Lucas by surprise but all the workers on the ship, who immediately stopped what they were doing after hearing this.
"THE STRAW HATS?!"
"THEY ARE COMING HERE?!"
"WE MUST WARN THE CITY!"
"RUN! WE MUST FLEE!"
"CALL THE MARINE, REPORT OUR SITUATION!"
That ship was just the beginning of the chaos that would follow in Water Seven.
At sea, the Black Pearl continued sailing towards the city with force. All the Straw Hats were looking at the structure somehow, some enchanted by the city, others with a neutral tone, some hoping to find a fight. Luffy was in the middle of all this just smiling, after all, he had more people to capture in the city.
"Since I'm here, let's start a call to begin negotiating..." Luffy said, taking a den den mushi out of his pocket and started dialing a specific number.
