Third Person POV
New Word.
...
...
Luffy was sitting in the same chair as a month ago, looking straight ahead as part of his daily routine, supervising his fleet's training once more.
The open area was filled with monstrous, giant animals, even some gorillas wielding enormous swords, testing out the species he'd gathered from Mihawk's island. He had brought in giraffes the size of giants, allowing them to train with each other, as they constantly learned and quickly caught up with the regular animals. Some could already use haki, and soon they would surpass the dinosaurs, given that the intelligent gorillas had the potential to become far stronger than the other animals.
The battle was complete chaos, with animals moving around on all sides, mostly fighting against humans, who appeared tiny in comparison, while Luffy's fleet began using the six styles to fight; some could now even use haki.
Luffy had turned one month of training into a year and a half. Using the powers of the Moa Moa no Mi, he had significantly accelerated everyone's learning. Meanwhile, his main crew, along with the most powerful members of the fleet, were training directly with the dinosaurs, who had mastered haki and could quickly become a greater challenge than any on the other islands.
"Luffy." Luffy heard his brother's voice as he approached.
"Sabo...? Shouldn't you still be training in Skypea?" Luffy asked, watching him drop from the sky to land in front of him.
Sabo had mastered the most powerful six styles and trained with his mythical beasts over the past month. He had been training directly in Skypea with other Eikons, since Luffy kept their training hidden from the rest of the world, and Skypea was the only place where the Eikons could reveal themselves and fight one another.
Sabo needed to train his beast, so Luffy had sent him there, allowing him to battle most of his main crew. Even Lucy fought Sabo, who had transformed into Ramuh, and unexpectedly, Lucy emerged victorious. After all, she was immune to lightning and managed to defeat Sabo, even without her Joygirl transformation, which remained dormant.
Of course, Luffy tried to make her unleash her gear 5, but the girl started running from her brother after being repeatedly beaten by him, as Luffy attempted to force her transformation, though he never succeeded.
"I got a call from your father... we need to meet up now that the gathering of kingdoms will take place at Mary Geoise," Sabo said with a more serious tone.
"Let me guess... you guys invaded the holy city..." Luffy said as Sabo sighed.
"Yes... we need to gather information on the government because there are some concerning rumors there," Sabo said.
"If you're talking about the Empty Throne, it hasn't been unoccupied for these 800 years," Luffy said.
"..." Sabo blinked, trying to process what Luffy had just said so abruptly. He remained like that for a moment, while Luffy seemed focused on watching the chaotic battle unfolding before him, with the terrain breaking apart within his view. His gaze then returned to the paralyzed Sabo.
"Are you okay? Maybe you should stay a few more days to rest..." he commented, looking at his brother and slowly meeting his gaze.
"I'm sick!? You just told me something absurd, and I'm the sick one...?!" Sabo yelled, showing shark-like teeth as he shook Luffy with white eyes, while Luffy looked unfazed.
"Tell me, what you just said, is it true?! How do you know this, why didn't you tell me before!!" Sabo kept shaking Luffy, who swayed with the movement but maintained a calm expression.
"You didn't ask..." Luffy shrugged as Sabo grew even angrier, pushing him until he finally stopped.
"Have you finally finished with this hysteria?" Luffy asked, looking at him.
"You..." Sabo murmured in frustration, but held back. "Do you realize what you just told me... are you certain of it?" he asked, looking at him seriously.
"I'm telling the truth. There's someone the World Government keeps hidden, someone above the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders... the one who is the true king of the world and has controlled it since the Void Century... Imu." Luffy said with a serious tone.
"How do you know all of this... I mean, even Dragon wasn't certain about it, although he had some suspicions..." murmured Sabo, incredulous at Luffy's words.
"I can't say, but you should be careful in Mary Geoise..." Luffy replied, knowing that Sabo would go regardless. However, he couldn't reveal more, as he needed Sabo to head toward Lulusia, forcing the World Government to destroy the kingdom... where his plans would begin.
Sabo regained his usual composure, and they began to talk about other matters. It was in the middle of their conversation that Luffy's den den mushi rang.
"I'll wait for the others and start getting ready to leave, Luffy," Sabo informed him, and Luffy nodded.
"Alright... stay at least tonight. I'm sure Lucy will be happy to have one last party with her brother," Luffy said, and Sabo nodded with a smile before leaving, while Luffy answered the den den mushi.
"Boss... that bird is approaching again..." came Enel's voice.
"That guy just doesn't know when to quit..." Luffy muttered with a sigh.
"Should I kill him? I can do it in an instant," Enel offered, but Luffy shook his head.
"No... leave him to me... Until I give the order, he isn't to be harmed, no matter how annoying and persistent he is," Luffy instructed, ensuring Enel wouldn't kill him at any moment.
The den den mushi call ended, and Luffy sighed, scanning the space above the island before forming black wings on his back and blasting off like a rocket, leaving the island behind.
Morgans was once again trying to infiltrate the Straw Hat's territory, frustrated by his lack of success over the past few months while they maintained a low profile. Meanwhile, in Wano, two Yonkos were preparing to face the Straw Hats, yet no news had made it into the papers. Morgans was growing increasingly frustrated, eager to obtain some real information about them; after all, his newspapers were selling like never before, and the prospect of a Yonko war was unprecedented, anticipated for months.
Not even the meeting of kings at Mary Geoise garnered as much attention worldwide, with everyone's eyes set beyond the Red Line, waiting to see how this conflict would unfold.
But entering the territory was exceedingly difficult. Morgans had tried in numerous ways. First, he simply showed up, only to be expelled, told his presence couldn't be tolerated with so many spies already infiltrating the kingdoms. They didn't want their plans exposed to the world.
He wasn't the only one seeking information, and it was clear that the World Government was the most active, with two or three spies being caught daily, hoping one would slip past the Straw Hat's defenses.
After being expelled, there wasn't much Morgans could do, but he tried various approaches. He posed as a merchant on a commercial ship, only to be intercepted by members of Luffy's main crew upon arrival at the island. He attempted to infiltrate with a pirate ship seeking to join the fleet, only to be turned away, told that joining Luffy's fleet wasn't done that way.
Morgans even tried dressing as a woman, claiming to be Luffy's wife, only for Luffy himself to knock him so hard at the port that the journalist was sent flying to the horizon.
Now he was trying from the air, attempting to get closer without being detected. Spotting some explosions in the distance, he was about to head that way when suddenly, Monkey D. Luffy appeared in front of him, wings flapping to halt himself, generating a gust of wind in the air.
"What?! They already found me!!" Morgans exclaimed, fear flashing across his face as he found himself face-to-face with the Yonko, who stood there, calmly staring at him.
"You really think you can get close without anyone here detecting you, Morgans..." Luffy mocked, staring him down.
Morgans gulped, remembering the last punch he took from this guy—it had left him bedridden for days. He was fast, but this man was a monster no one could control.
"Don't look at me like that; I'm not going to hit you today, at least as long as you don't cross this line." Luffy began, while Morgans remained silent. Suddenly, Luffy's face broke into a grin.
"Anyway... Morgans... I want you to make a publication about me," Luffy said.
"A publication?!" Morgans was surprised, watching the Straw Hat pirate hovering in front of him.
"Yes... it's time to make a move... I want you to announce that in the coming weeks, we'll be heading to Wano," Luffy said.
"Really?!" Morgans was astonished, pulling out his notebook to jot things down.
"Exactly. I want Big Mom and Kaido to know I'm coming... and I also want the world to know that we're finally going to bring those guys down," Luffy said calmly.
"This is huge, a major scoop!!" Morgans exclaimed, excited.
"Whatever... can you do it?!" Luffy asked.
"Of course!! Is there anything else I need to know? Maybe something like you all went through rigorous training last month and are now ready to face one of the world's strongest forces, who've joined together to destroy the Straw Hats?! That sounds incredibly interesting!" he began to shout.
"That... wouldn't be wrong. We did go through some training... so, yes, you can say that. Just make sure Kaido and Big Mom know that we'll be setting out soon, and that they'll feel the wrath of the Straw Hats before they fall," Luffy said.
"That's it!! I'll put it on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!!" Morgans looked thrilled.
"One more thing. Can you publish this photo in the paper? I want the kid's grandfather to see her for the first time," Luffy said.
"This is..." Morgans murmured, looking at the photo.
"Shanks' daughter, the Red-Haired, and my wife," Luffy said. Morgans already knew Luffy was married to this woman, but he had never imagined such a connection.
"Incredible! I'll do exactly that!! These papers are going to sell like crazy." He was practically bouncing with excitement, while Luffy nodded and stepped closer.
"Alright, you can go now... goodbye." Luffy didn't have Shanks' contact, so he planned to tell the entire world. Morgans suddenly felt a hard kick on his backside, sending him flying out as Luffy no longer needed him.
"Hope he doesn't bother me again today..." Luffy shrugged, his gaze returning to the battles below.
"Now, let's go see how the training's going..." Luffy said, moving closer as he heard explosions in the distance.

Third Person POV
New Word.
...
...
After Luffy left Morgans in the space above his territory, he returned to oversee the rest of his fleet's training. Battles continued with destruction all around that part of the island where they were, as the native animals and gorillas attacked their adversaries. Unlike a month ago, everyone kept fighting in an intense struggle.
Thousands of people fought together, forming groups to try to halt the beasts' advance, which also numbered in the thousands, covering the entire area.
The main battles involved haki, with the fights primarily against the lead captains. Tesoro, now clad in darkened golden armor layered with haki, charged forward with a giant golden fist to strike at an elephant that was also using haki on its trunk. Both launched their attacks simultaneously, but after a fierce struggle, Tesoro lost, flying backward like a rocket, digging into the ground before reappearing and returning to attack the animal. Soon, another explosion of haki clashed between the two as Tesoro sought a rematch.
Ideo was also fighting nearby, facing off against a giraffe. He used his legs to try to hit it, but the giraffe's tough skin reinforced with armament haki made the fight extremely difficult. Even with his own haki, the giraffe could predict his movements, showing it had observation haki.
The great leader of the Yonta Maria Grand Fleet, Orlumbus, was also in action, a bit further away in the middle of thousands of other soldiers fighting against the animals, using his fists against his opponent.
He wasn't as powerful as the main crew, but he certainly possessed immense strength, standing above most others. Moria could launch objects from a distance at high speed. Focusing, he picked up a massive stone from the ground and hurled it at a lion that was charging to attack him. As the lion saw the huge stone hurtling towards it, it used its roar to emit a shock force due to the sound, causing the ground to explode with the impact and the stone to shatter before it even got close.
Sai, along with his brother and grandfather, was also fighting against a group of giant beasts.
"These monsters are strong!" exclaimed Sai. He was already powerful but was struggling to face so many monsters at once.
"Stop whining and fight!" Chinjao retorted, not wanting to see his grandson discouraged as he started facing more beasts than his grandsons could, showing the Chinjao family had certainly grown stronger. Both brothers had learned to master a new level of haki, but even so, the pressure was immense. Sai continued using his spear to defeat some of the monsters with firm blows.
But Chinjao stood out, growing even stronger than before, advancing against several beasts using his haki-infused punches and even his head to defeat them. This only paused when a hippo appeared, and the two exchanged blows with headbutts.
"This one's tough... very well... let's see if you can keep it up," Chinjao said in challenge after they both stepped back with no clear winner. After these words, he and the hippo charged at each other to fight once more.
Cavendish, on the other hand, was also fighting. He defeated several smaller beasts in an instant, moving at high speed, with a twisted expression on his face.
Luffy was interested to see if Cavendish would learn to control that second personality of his and had spent the last year pounding him whenever he transformed into that assassin to help him master the strength. The training worked, and now Cavendish could control his power better, stepping forward with a fierce face, facing many beasts that most people in front of Luffy struggled to handle.
The members of Zou, Carrot and Pedro, were also in the battle. They fought several beasts, transformed into their Sulong forms, but their opponents were even stronger, as they included the intelligent gorillas taken from Mihawk's lands. As they fought, these gorillas were developing their own techniques. All the members of Zou had already mastered the six styles and were learning to use haki at a more advanced level than other animals, but the same could be said for the gorillas.
Even in Sulong form, Coala and Pedro continued to learn to develop and control their abilities, fighting tirelessly.
Other members, such as pirates that Luffy had hired and some he ended up accepting, were present, fighting this month. Luffy had placed his trust in them to carry his flag out to sea.
These included prisoners from the Gran Tesoro whom Tesoro kept imprisoned due to debts, as well as those who had been transformed into toys by Sugar and even those who had made promises to Luffy or came seeking to serve under his flag. All of them were also growing stronger.
Luffy set these members aside and looked at the new force that would take on the role of the Baroque Works in the New World, while a separate group of people specialized in espionage had been selected to develop their own techniques and work as a team.
Nearby were the giant pirates, who had come after Hajrudin a few weeks prior. They joined Luffy's fleet after their captain decided it was so. The giants demanded to challenge those who would lead them as soon as they knew, resulting in knockouts with every punch Luffy landed on them, unable to do much as they became part of the fleet.
Additionally, many groups of fish-men were there, organized by Jinbei at Luffy's request. He had asked for many inhabitants of Fish-Man Island to train, including one of Shirahoshi's brothers.
Around two thousand fish-men were training in the six styles and fighting against other animals, with some even developing haki. They would be used not only to strengthen the Straw Hat territory under the sea, but some were also destined to become members of the Baroque Works due to their infiltration capabilities in the sea and high-speed maneuvers in the waters of the New World. Others would serve as support in the fleet, filling up to three ships with captains.
The fleet was growing significantly stronger, and even the other subordinates of the captains, like the main crew, were growing a lot.
Luffy could see Baccarat alongside the other main members of the Gran Tesoro fighting against a beast and defeating it, as well as the other crews. But these were just the recently added members of the fleet; there were also those who had been training for more than a year, stationed on the dinosaur island with a formation led by Page-One.
Thinking of all the fleet captains made Luffy smile as he watched the battles taking place on the other island.
"It's not as large a number as Whitebeard's, who had 43," Luffy commented. "But I've just arrived in the New World and already have 25 captains with naval forces, and this number could double soon," he said calmly.
He knew that now, with the downfall of the Yonkou from their posts, his fleet could grow exponentially as his name reached even the highest in the New World. Luffy sat down again, letting the Moa Moa no Mi take effect over everyone there.
As he observed the action, Luffy picked up a small fruit that had returned to its normal size. He found it hidden in his pocket. It was the Door-Door Fruit.
"This fruit should be given to someone trustworthy," Luffy thought. "It will be one of the most useful fruits for our missions from now on," he remarked, thinking that the fool Blueno might have left the world government, but he seemed more marked than Luffy could have imagined. Either way, it was over, and he had just hired the fugitive CP9, thanks to this fruit.
The battles continued for a while longer until Luffy decided to bring it to an end.
"Stop, that was great training for today."
Luffy's voice, though spoken calmly, reached everyone on the island, even on the other dinosaur island.
Sabo was leaving soon, so Luffy wanted to hold a feast for his brother. Everyone immediately stopped upon hearing his command, with the animals returning calmly to the forests, carrying the wounded to be treated. After all, that human had compelled them to fight, and they had no choice but to obey, for he was far too strong.
After that, the fleet members also organized themselves to leave, some heading toward the area where Reiju was stationed for recovery, using her flames on the crowd to heal them quickly. Meanwhile, even on the other islands, they stopped fighting, beginning to regroup and make their way back to Dressrosa, setting up a grand feast with the presence of 20,000 fleet subordinates and two kings.
Lucy learned that Sabo would be leaving soon. She spent some time with her brother, laughing and talking, as usual. This went on for a while as Luffy remained with his family, maintaining the usual style that included all his wives gathered around him, with his children and the main crew members nearby.
"Jinbei," Luffy called as he began to stand up. "I'm going to sleep. Let all crew members know that tomorrow we'll have an official meeting, because we're going to start taking action in the next few days, and we need to decide a few things." He spoke as Jinbei nodded, indicating he would inform everyone else.
"Hey, Captain! You're leaving already? You, of all people, who used to stay the longest at the feasts!" Zoro commented, trying to offer him some sake.
"Sorry, Zoro. I have a family now and a responsibility toward them," Luffy laughed, joking. "Anyway, be there tomorrow, got it?"
He spoke as Zoro nodded. Luffy then returned to the castle, knowing he'd have to wake up early.
In the morning, Luffy stood with Lucy in front of an unmarked ship at the port, while Sabo, Koala, and Hack were behind Sabo, along with other Revolutionary Army members, already boarding the ship.
"It seems we're saying goodbye, siblings," Sabo murmured, looking at them.
"That's right," Luffy said, breaking into a smile. "But it won't be the last time we see each other. I'm sure that next time, we'll all be together again."
Sabo nodded. "Yes!" exclaimed Lucy beside him. "Next time, Ace will be with us too, and we can finally toast with sake again!"
"You don't even like sweet sake," Luffy said to his sister.
"But I can have a little," she replied, sticking her tongue out at him with a joyful smile.
"Well, anyway, I'm off. Until next time, Luffy and Lucy. Good luck. I hope to see you soon in the newspapers as the ones who took down Kaidou and Big Mom," Sabo commented.
Luffy nodded, as did his sister, watching their brother board the ship and sail away.
"Do you think it'll be long before we see him again, Luffy?" Lucy asked.
"I don't think so, sister, but either way, we'll all be together soon... Now let's focus on what we need to do here. We're heading to Skypiea, where all the main crew members are gathering. It's time to put our plan into action," Luffy said with a serious look.
The two siblings began jumping into the air, heading toward Skypiea to meet with all the main crew members.
