In the midst of their journey, Franz and Duval stumbled upon a realm veiled in opulence and decadence—the world of the Celestial Dragons. The islands housing these privileged individuals stood as stark reminders of the stark class divide that plagued the world. It was here that Franz witnessed the true extent of the nobles' arrogance and cruelty, their actions leaving an indelible mark on his resolve to challenge the oppressive system that kept the world in chains.
As Franz observed the insufferable conduct of the Celestial Dragons, a sense of familiarity washed over him. Memories from his previous life, where he had immersed himself in the world of anime, flickered through his mind. He couldn't help but draw parallels between the despicable nobles before him and the tyrannical characters he had once watched on the screen. The real-world manifestation of such injustice struck him with a renewed determination to gather a formidable alliance—one capable of dismantling the existing order and ushering in a new era of equality and freedom.
The contrast between the Celestial Dragons' extravagant lifestyle and the suffering of the common people was a sobering sight. The nobles reveled in their wealth and power, their every whim catered to by a subservient populace. The faces of the oppressed, forced to endure unbearable hardships under the iron grip of the celestial elite, etched themselves into Franz's memory. Their silent pleas for liberation were a call to action, a reminder of the duty he bore as a beacon of hope for the downtrodden.
The realization hit Franz with both a sense of responsibility and a surge of indignation. This was not a story unfolding on a screen; it was the cruel reality he now inhabited. The lives of countless individuals hung in the balance, and Franz knew he had the power to make a difference. The anime-inspired heroes he had idolized in his previous life had become a source of inspiration, guiding him toward the path of becoming a hero in his own right.
With every encounter and revelation, Franz's conviction grew stronger. He knew that assembling a powerful alliance was not merely a desire but an absolute necessity. The existing order needed to be challenged, and the Celestial Dragons, the epitome of corruption, had to be brought down from their lofty thrones. Franz's journey had become a quest for justice, an unwavering determination to rewrite the world's narrative and redefine its future.
As Franz and Duval ventured deeper into the world of the Celestial Dragons, their eyes burned with a newfound fire. The path ahead would be treacherous, fraught with danger and unimaginable obstacles. But they were prepared to face it head-on, driven by the conviction that no power, no matter how opulent or tyrannical, could extinguish the flames of freedom that blazed within their hearts. The stage was set, and the time for revolution had come.
As Franz and Duval continued to observe the Straw Hat Pirates from the shadows, a sense of awe washed over Franz as he witnessed the free and unfettered spirit of their captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy's unyielding determination and his unwavering pursuit of his dreams resonated deeply with Franz. Here was a young man who defied all odds, challenging the oppressive world he was born into and inspiring others to do the same.
While Franz admired Luffy's spirit, Duval couldn't help but feel a twinge of irritation when he caught sight of Sanji, the Straw Hat known for his culinary skills and chivalrous nature. It was Sanji's striking resemblance to Duval that had caused him so much misfortune in the past. Duval, fueled by a burning desire to become stronger, swore to himself that if the opportunity arose, he would give Sanji a beating of a lifetime. However, for the time being, they both remained hidden, merely observing the Straw Hat crew from a distance.
Despite their encounters with the cruel and arrogant Celestial Dragons, the group pressed on, their resolve unyielding. Along their journey, they crossed paths with a few bounty hunters who sought to challenge the Straw Hat Pirates. However, Luffy, Chopper, and Brook effortlessly dispatched them, their combined strength a testament to their capabilities as a crew.
As they ventured deeper into the archipelago, they found themselves in Grove 16, a lawless region of the island. Hatchan, a former pirate and guide to the Straw Hats, explained that Grove 1-29 comprised the lawless interior, while the surrounding groves housed entertainment and shopping districts. Franz and Duval maintained their hidden presence, keen on witnessing the live-action spectacle of Luffy's life.
Finally, after traversing a bit further, the crew arrived at Grove 13—a bar known to be frequented by the elusive coating engineer, Rayleigh. Upon entering, they were greeted by the bar's owner, Shakuyaku, also known as Shakky. A former pirate herself, Shakky revealed that she had been following the Straw Hat Pirates' exploits closely. She regaled them with stories of her own encounters with Garp, the legendary Marine vice-admiral, during her own pirate days.
Luffy, eager to find Rayleigh, inquired about the engineer's whereabouts. Shakky informed them that Rayleigh had not been seen on the island for half a year, wandering from bar to casino. Concern etched on their faces, the crew resolved to search for him. Shakky cautioned them to exercise caution, as the Straw Hat crew's arrival had brought the total number of rookie pirates with bounties exceeding 100,000,000 Beli to eleven. Luffy, holding the second-highest bounty among them, understood the risks but remained determined to find his mentor.
Within Grove 24, they encountered several of the notorious Supernovas. Capone "Gang" Bege, the mafia-like pirate, vented his frustrations at a restaurant, even attacking his own crew member with a fork. Nearby, "Big Eater" Jewelry Bonney showcased her insatiable appetite, demanding more food despite the cooks struggling to keep up. "The Magician" Basil Hawkins ominously declared misfortune upon a hapless pirate who had spaghetti spilled on him.
In another part of Grove 24, Eustass "Captain" Kid and "Roar of the Sea" Scratchmen Apoo engaged in a heated battle, their rivalry on full display. Meanwhile, in Grove 21, "The Mad Monk" Urouge and the masked "Massacre Soldier" Killer prepared to unleash their power, only to be interrupted by "Red Flag" X Drake, a former Marine officer.
Shakky cautioned the crew that the pirates beyond this point were the cream of the crop, the best of the best. She reassured them that Rayleigh, far stronger than the rookies, would be fine. Despite the warning, Luffy vowed to relax for the time being but expressed concern for his mentor. The crew, bolstered by their determination and camaraderie, prepared to navigate the treacherous path ahead, fully aware of the challenges that awaited them.
Franz and Duval, their identities still concealed, observed the unfolding events with a mixture of admiration and anticipation. The bond between the Straw Hat crew grew stronger with each passing moment, their collective strength resonating through the air. Franz knew that the time to reveal themselves and join forces with these remarkable individuals would come, but for now, they remained mere spectators, awaiting the right moment to make their move.
In the shadows of Grove 13, the stage was set for destiny to unfold. The clash of ambitions, the convergence of extraordinary talents—everything pointed towards a future where the world would be forever changed. Franz and Duval, now more than ever, were certain that their alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates would become a force capable of toppling the existing order and setting sail on a voyage to reshape the world.
