"Jinbei-Sama!" Shirahoshi looked at Jimbei with concern. "Hey..." Hachi also expressed concern. Luffy was on the other side with some bruises, but nothing serious; he used the regeneration of his Zoan to heal completely, spending a bit of energy.
"Wow, that was a really good fight! Who would have thought the first Shichibukai I would defeat would be Jimbei, of all Shichibukais." Luffy laughed, displaying his pride in the victory.
"Luffy... What should we do with him?" Nojiko asked about the injured and lying fish-man on the deck.
"Tie up his body. I'll throw him in the prison and talk to him when he wakes up." He said, and Hugo began to grab some thick chains to securely wrap Jimbei's body. As Hugo worked, Luffy remained thoughtful, looking at the horizon.
Shirahoshi, still concerned, approached Luffy. "Luffy-Sama, can we really trust him after what happened?"
Luffy looked at Shirahoshi with a confident smile. "Of course, we can. Jimbei is strong and has his own code of honor. Let's give him a chance. Besides, we're not here to make unnecessary enemies. Who knows, he might even become an ally."
Nojiko nodded, agreeing with Luffy's approach. Meanwhile, Hugo finished tying the chains around Jimbei, ensuring there was no chance of escape.
"Ready, Captain. Jimbei is properly tied up." Hugo reported, and Luffy nodded.
"What a great fight!" Dorry couldn't help but praise Luffy's performance.
"Yes, Dorry is right!" Broggy confirmed.
"Well, thank you. Anyway, let's continue with our usual training; we'll reach Alabasta in the next few days." Luffy announced, showing his usual casualness even after the intense battle. He took Jimbei by the chains and began to drag him personally to the ship's prison.
The crew watched, some still recovering from the surprise of the fight, while others were already eager for their own battles. Nojiko, watching the scene, asked Luffy, "Captain, what do we do now? Will we continue on course to Alabasta?"
Luffy nodded. "Yes, let's go to Alabasta. But first, I'll talk to Jimbei when he wakes up. We need to understand what he was doing here and if we can trust him as an ally."
As the crew continued on its course towards Alabasta, Luffy took Jimbei to the prison, where he would stay until he recovered and was ready for a conversation.
"Monkey-Cham!!!" Luffy was greeted by Bon Clay with all his characteristic joy.
"Hello, Bon Clay. How are things?" Luffy greeted friendly, observing the extravagant man in pink attire.
"Everything's fine now, Monkey-Chan. But it was really cold before! That green-haired man wouldn't tell me why the weather was so bad when I asked him! So grumpy!" The man spun in a ballet-like movement inside his cell while sharing his experiences.
"Well... That's typical of him..." Luffy murmured with a smile, remembering Zoro and his more serious attitudes.
"Monkey-Cham... What were those explosions until now? Hm?! Who is this?!" Bon Clay, for the first time, noticed Jimbei being dragged by chains behind Luffy.
"That?! That's Jimbei! One of the 7 Shichibukai!" Mr. 3 shouted alarmed.
"What?!" Some of the other agents exclaimed too, surprised by Jimbei's presence in the prison.
"I accidentally caught this fish." Luffy shrugged as he continued dragging Jimbei down the corridor.
'He says he caught it...' Everyone in their cells internally mocked this, not believing this absurdity.
Luffy reached an empty cell and threw Jimbei in there, tied up in a similar way as he was in Impel Down.
"Hey, handsome, don't you want to leave this lovely woman rotting in this cell, do you?" Mikita suddenly spoke, running her hand over her body, trying to seduce Luffy as he was leaving.
"Sorry, but I already have too many women; I have a limit to how many I can accept." Luffy shrugged. As attractive as Mikita was, he didn't want to get involved with every woman he met. With over a dozen women to pay attention to, Luffy preferred to hold back. He had no plans to include Mikita in his bed.
Mikita was stunned by the response, while Miss Merry Christmas laughed at the blonde. "You see, Miss Valentina? If he were older, he would be my type, and then I would show you how to seduce someone."
Almost everyone in the room vomited at that moment, including Luffy, who stumbled with the reaction and quickly left the room.
Over the next three days, the crew alternated between moments of leisure and training. Bepo took care of navigation, and finally, Alabasta began to materialize on the horizon. Destiny awaited, bringing with it challenges and mysteries that piqued the curiosity of Luffy and his crew.
"Karoooo!" Karoo was the first to appear on the bow, waving his wings towards the homeland.
"Sharky!"
"Grrrrrrrr!"
"Woof Woof!"
The animals joined Karoo to play, enjoying the proximity of the land in the distance. The fun of the four mascots was evident, creating a lively atmosphere on the deck.
"Is this your country, Vivi-Sama?" Shirahoshi asked, observing Alabasta with curiosity.
"Yes, this land is Alabasta!" Vivi responded with a certain pride in her voice.
"What will be our first stop?" Usopp asked excitedly next to Chopper.
"Erumalu, a port city in the south of the country." Bepo replied, sharing information about the destination.
"Well, let's move forward. Get ready to disembark at the city port. Put Jimbei on the deck tied to the mast as well," ordered Luffy, and everyone went to their duties.
Some time later, Luffy went to the ship's mast after Hugo and Zoro placed Jimbei there.
"I see you've awakened." Luffy addressed Jimbei, who still showed signs of injuries.
Jimbei remained silent, his serious expression revealing little about his thoughts.
"Don't you want to join my crew?" Luffy asked with a smile, suggesting something unusual.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
In the next moment, everyone fell to the floor, surprised by Luffy's audacity in inviting a Shichibukai to be his subordinate.
"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?! DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO JOIN YOUR CREW?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't be so serious." Luffy laughed at Jimbei's indignant reaction.
Seeing the serious look still present on Jimbei's face, Luffy sighed, maintaining a calmer expression.
"If you still think I did something to manipulate those two members of your race and force them to join my crew, you're mistaken. You can talk to them if you want." Luffy shrugged, expressing sincerity in his words.
"Then tell me how the mermaid princess disappeared from King Neptune's eyes on any given day and ended up in the East Blue with reduced size?" Jimbei questioned, demanding an explanation.
"Well, that's a secret. I admit that I managed to summon her on Fish-Man Island, but at the same time, I freed her from her confinement, and she thanked me for it." Luffy said and continued, maintaining an air of mystery around the incident.
"Anyway, I'll see what we'll do with you after I find Ace. I know he's in this country."
"Who is Ace?" Lami raised the question, listening to the conversation with curiosity.
"My brother. I'm sure he's in this city." Luffy smiled, directing his gaze to the approaching city.
The pirate ship approaching the country, especially heading towards Erumalu, caught the attention of its inhabitants, who watched with curiosity and, in some cases, fear, the arrival of the Straw Hats.
"A pirate ship!"
"It's the Straw Hats!"
"The group with a total bounty of 470 million!"
"This is terrible!"
"Notify Captain Smoker, the Straw Hats are coming to the city!"
Meanwhile, the Black Pearl quickly headed for the port, anchoring under the scared gaze of the people. A large group of crew members, including some animals, began to disembark. A moment later, the ship disappeared in front of all the curious onlookers, while Luffy held the Black Pearl before stashing it in one of his pockets.
"Hey, Jimbei, how did you get so small..." Luffy commented while looking at the miniature ship on the deck.
"NANIIIIIIII!!!!" Luffy heard Jimbei's tiny voice shouting from the ship with a comical face.
Leaving Jimbei aside, Luffy turned his attention to all members of his crew.
"You can do whatever you want during this day. It's a day off, so feel free to explore the city." Luffy announced, earning some grateful looks and even some tears from some, finally getting away from the infernal training imposed by Luffy.
The swordsmen Zoro, Kuina, along with Broggy and Dorry, formed a group, exploring weapon shops and training together in an open area. Vivi, Karoo, Shirahoshi, and Megalo decided to visit local tourist spots; Vivi wanted to show some points to the enthusiastic Shirahoshi about the history of Alabasta. Usopp and Chopper were together, exploring the shops that this desert country could offer. Reiju and Hachi were busy looking for fresh ingredients and exotic spices to prepare a special meal and snacks for the entire crew. Hugo went alone just to stroll. Bepo and Chouchou joined forces to explore the commercial areas of the city, with Chouchou interacting with other local dogs and animals. Nojiko, Alvida, and Robin decided to visit a local tea shop, seeking to relax a bit, and Lami joined them later.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the city, a man walked carelessly, a miniature whale floating in the air beside him. Luffy and Laboon explored the bustling streets of Alabasta; the Captain of the Straw Hats couldn't help but observe the liveliness of the city. People wore light and colorful clothes, reflecting the constant heat of the desert. Loose-fitting tunics and garments were common, providing defense against the scorching sun.
"Let's go, Laboon, we have to find someone!" Luffy spoke as he walked ahead. "Grrrrrr..." Laboon made his iconic sound, but Luffy understood it as confirmation that Laboon wanted to accompany him, and who would Luffy be to deny his friend's request.
People looked astonished at what they were seeing; even some recognized that Luffy was a pirate with a bounty of 200 million, but the sight of Laboon floating beside him was too surreal.
"There are many looks on us, and I know this city is full of Baroque Works agents; I hope Robin keeps an eye on the princesses as I assigned her." Luffy murmured to himself while looking at some malicious glances in the crowd. "Laboon, I'm looking for a restaurant; let me know if you find any..." Luffy commented. "Grr?" "Never mind..." Luffy forgot he was talking to a whale that never left the entrance of the Grand Line.
"Hmm... Found it!" Luffy finally spotted the restaurant he was looking for. His eyes lit up even more when he noticed the presence of a man in the Marine cloak at the establishment's entrance.
"Smoker! So he's here too!" Luffy laughed, excited about the imminent encounter. He turned to Laboon, who floated beside him. "Laboon, I'll go ahead. You catch up later at that restaurant, got it?" Luffy spoke, not waiting for a response, and dashed away.
Luffy ran at a superhuman speed, with his clear intention of catching up with the Marine officer. The people around were surprised by the Captain of the Straw Hats' speed and agility, and the wind followed him as he passed by everyone, while Laboon floated calmly, watching the scene.
Meanwhile, in the bar, the atmosphere was far from ordinary. The Marine officer stared at the pirate at the counter with narrowed eyes, and everyone in the bar could feel the escalating tension in the atmosphere.
"Commander of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates," Smoker spoke calmly to the pirate, staring at him from the counter with a smile. "That's me..." Ace replied with some amusement.
"I'll have to arrest you here..." Smoker spoke as his arm began to transform into smoke. "You can try..." Ace began to materialize flames on his body.
"SMOKEEERRRR!!!" Suddenly, a voice echoed from outside, and before Smoker could react, his spine bent with the kick he was receiving from Luffy. The Captain of the Straw Hats came at full speed, managing to materialize a small tip of Haki on his foot to hit the Logia. This was Haki's progress, still small, but Luffy was satisfied with the advancement achieved in just a week of training.
Smoker was stunned by the sudden pain, while his body was propelled forward, and Ace had his eyes almost popping out of their sockets witnessing the unexpected event.
Before either of them could react, both were thrown into the wall, with Luffy calmly remaining inside the restaurant. CRACKKKKKK! The sound of walls breaking under the impact of Smoker and Ace echoed repeatedly.
"That was a nice mess! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luffy commented, laughing, while everyone in the restaurant kept their jaws dropped and eyes wide at the surprising display of strength. The Captain of the Straw Hats seemed completely at ease, as if throwing two powerful opponents through walls was just another ordinary day in his life.
