Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Skypiea.
...
...
Luffy approached the golden castle created for him with the current title of god of Skypiea. The place had a Japanese design.
"It's a Wano designer... How did they manage to do this with gold?" Luffy couldn't help but ask, looking at the enormous structure.
"This is like Wano?!" Yamato asked curiously beside him. After all, he had never left Onigashima, so he had never been to Wano to really see what the country was like, besides reading Oden's diary.
"Let's go in. I'm sure Nami is somewhere." Luffy said, and he was right. Nami was lying in a corner, hugging the golden floor.
Luffy just shook his head and continued walking to the room that would be the main one, "I think this castle is cool... but I prefer the Black Pearl..." Luffy couldn't help but comment, his ship was much more comfortable than this place.
Then they proceeded to this spacious room, where more than 100 people could fit. The place continued to be entirely made of gold, something that Luffy didn't like because it was so bright.
"Well, let's get started. I want you to give me reports on everything that has happened, both here and in the countries of our kingdom. Everyone went into a state of preparation for a future order, but I want to see how their current states are." Luffy requested, and Galdino and Uta handed papers to Luffy as he sat in his prepared chair, starting to read the papers.
"The kingdoms we passed through are developing very well..." Luffy commented, satisfied. Drum Kingdom had finally finished building its medical center where new doctors would be trained, and the kingdom was beginning to regain its former glory.
Alabasta was also returning to stabilization after nearly erupting into a civil war. The rains had returned since Crocodile was defeated, starting the prosperity of the desert country while Luffy suggested some type of agriculture for the country. He followed a machine that bought the project in the system with authorship by Dr. Vegapunk but incomplete, which transforms seawater into potable water for consumption. Luffy worked a bit on this machine, trying to complete the project with his knowledge of the modern world. His father-in-law initiated a project to place underground pipes throughout Alabasta in a way that would connect the entire kingdom and not rely so much on rain. This would be executed as soon as they started supplying Wapol metal to the kingdoms.
Lumenarchy wasn't a very difficult kingdom to conquer after he robbed the auction house and stole from the king himself. He was interested in the giant crystal on the island but ended up leaving it in the kingdom since now, with Doflamingo dead, the king contacted him and practically gave the kingdom away. Luffy abolished any slave auctions in the kingdom, still allowing the activity of selling rare items.
Water Seven was instructed to continue making ships, but Luffy asked for some shipbuilding teams to come to Skypiea to build new ships for the fleet.
Whisky Peak maintained a strong trade in alcoholic beverages, creating new types of alcohol that Luffy knew to transform the market. Despite the strong trade between the allied kingdoms within Luffy's territory, the beverages began to be requested by many other kingdoms, making it an extremely lucrative territory for Luffy.
In East Blue, the Goa kingdom was very active and prosperous while the world government had not interfered with the kingdom since Makino was exposed as Shanks's wife and with Luffy's threat to launch meteors at Mery Geoise. The kingdom used its strong trade while the trade continued strong and the Goa kingdom greatly strengthened the rising kingdoms like Syrup and Cocoyasi, which grew a lot and ended up attracting many people from other blues seeking a better life and finding opportunities in these places.
The Syrup kingdom was becoming so strong in economic activity, a palace was built, and Kaya had transformed her boat-building company almost into a monopoly of shipbuilding in East Blue, providing many commercial ships for the other islands.
The biggest growth actually came from Cocoyasi Kingdom, which quickly became the central point of commerce in the Blue Sea due to its location in the middle of the sea, connecting all the waters. The kingdom also began to have a strong agricultural economy due to the creation of immense farms. The capital was immense while the former mayor took care of things as a governor, while the real power of the kingdom was concentrated in the queens who never returned to the country due to being with Luffy.
Shimotsuki Village was also growing while a project to create swordsmen on that island had begun. With Zoro's fame coming from there and his performance in the war, many would be attracted to the place.
Now, regarding a territory he was acquiring without knowing, it was Loguetown itself. With Kyrtir, a man he had rescued with his wife from a ship being attacked by a Cypher Pol division in East Blue, he was a merchant who left his land for East Blue in search of treasure. The world government tracked them, and they were attacked. While the man tried to start over in Loguetown, the experienced merchant and his wife soon began to gain power and influence in the city. He quickly started acquiring all the shops in the city and was running for mayor. He sent a letter through his contacts declaring his loyalty to Luffy's flag.
"That's very good..." Luffy murmured after seeing the reports about his territories. He looked at Mikita and Galdino before seeing their reports on the activities of Baroque Works.
"I want the organization to expand. We need more members to protect the kingdoms, collect information, and protect the merchant ships between our kingdoms. You will operate everywhere." Luffy said, sitting like a mafia boss.
"Yes," Galdino said.
"We also can't let information about our relationship get out, although it won't take long, since I have members from those countries in the crew. But let's avoid revealing our relationship as much as possible." Luffy said.
Luffy went back to looking at information about the training and experiments, thinking about how he could improve them. "This is getting better than before... We will have stronger beasts than they were in Shiki's time... and with Caesar, I can improve the experiments even more." Luffy murmured, satisfied.
Now he picked up another paper, and his expression darkened. "I want Bepo to be called here immediately." Luffy requested, with Usopp making a call to the Den Den Mushi in Amazon Lily where he should be bringing Black Pearl.
"So, Cracker withstood the pressure and managed to free the members of Germa 66... and they killed more than 30 people..." Luffy murmured in a bad mood. One thing he couldn't stand was his people dying, and he needed to respond.
"I didn't expect to do this so soon, but I'll face that old woman anyway." Luffy decided and pulled out a special Den Den Mushi from his cloak.
"What are you planning to do, Luffy?" Robin asked, seeing that Luffy was about to do something big, as the others looked at their captain, waiting to see what he planned.
"I'm going to declare war on another Yonko." Luffy murmured and began dialing a number on the Den Den Mushi.
Bepo arrived at that moment as Black Pearl landed in front of the golden palace. "Captain!! You called for me!" He appeared, approaching Luffy.
"Great..." Luffy nodded as the phone started dialing. Luffy took a Black Power from his desk and threw it at a confused Bepo. "Use this, you'll need it..." Luffy said.
As Bepo began to use it and transform his personality into a more confident one, Luffy opened a map while the others looked at him doubtfully.
"What map is that?" Nami finally asked, stopping her admiration of the palace's gold.
"It's a map made by the Marines of the New World," Luffy replied. "Here are the reports, the locations of the Yonko territories' islands." He said. After all, the navy and the world government had to mark the territory somehow. Even if they didn't have a dynamic world map, they certainly had many mapped areas.
"What do you need, Captain?" Bepo asked, looking at him seriously.
"See this region full of nearby islands... I want you to do that there." Luffy commanded, and the Den Den Mushi finally picked up.
"Alo, alo?" A voice came from the other side.
"Is this Big Mom's number?" Luffy asked calmly.
"Yes, who are you?" the person asked.
"Good. Let me talk to that fat old woman." Luffy ignored the question from the other side and simply insulted the Yonko without fear, while everyone in front of him looked at him with wide, astonished eyes.
The Den Den Mushi made a huge frown while remaining silent for a moment before suddenly exploding. Big Mom seemed to be right next to it, listening the whole time.
Big Mom, who was eating a cake, heard someone insult her out of the blue and immediately exclaimed, "Who are you, you damn brat!? Tell me now so I can destroy your entire family!" She shouted angrily while the other children in the room looked stunned, wondering who would dare insult their mother like that.
"I am Monkey D. Luffy. I doubt you can back up your words," Luffy replied calmly.
"You!" Big Mom exclaimed, surprised by this. "How did you get my number?" she immediately demanded.
"It doesn't matter, you fat old woman," Luffy said again, leaving everyone in the room shocked as Big Mom's face looked stunned before seeming to go mad.
"Do you have any idea who you are talking to?!" She exclaimed, appearing on the verge of losing control.
"Let me tell you the reason for my call. Your son Cracker has made me quite furious this time. Killing some of my soldiers is something I will not forgive," Luffy began, while Big Mom looked a bit confused despite her imminent fury.
Her children, mainly Katakuri and Smoothie, who were nearby, frowned. They had received a call from Cracker as soon as the war ended. He and Germa 66 were almost back in their territory at that moment, saying he had managed to escape from the Straw Hat on an island in the sky. So, the siblings finally sighed in relief, seeing that despite the surprising strength of the Straw Hat, their brother would finally return alive. They didn't want to go to war against the crew, not now, but Luffy's call seemed to be taking a different turn.
"What do you mean?" Big Mom immediately asked, angrily.
"You idiot woman, your son came to attack me a while ago. I beat him up and imprisoned him, but he escaped from my prison some time later and killed several soldiers who worked for me. Tell me, Big Mom, what would you do at this moment?" Luffy asked with a tone of anger.
"What? He was imprisoned?" Big Mom exclaimed, surprised by this information she hadn't known until then.
"Well, that doesn't matter now. The important thing is that this is my answer, Linlin. I am declaring war against you, you damn fat old woman," Luffy wasted no time finishing, while Big Mom was perplexed by someone acting this way towards her, as no one ever did that.
"I will kill you, brat! Come to the New World!" Big Mom exclaimed, starting to lose control of her anger.
"I will do that soon, but here is my answer. And you better look at the sky." Luffy said while Bepo was no longer in the room.
Big Mom was confused, but it didn't take long for a soldier with a soul that the Yonko had stolen to come running into the room.
"Mama, mama!" he exclaimed. "Meteors are coming here!" The toy looked scared while Big Mom quickly got up and looked out the window with all her children. They all widened their eyes in astonishment as six meteors began to fall towards them and all the islands.
