Capítulo 47: The Journey Begins
The sea stretched out endlessly before them, calm but deceptive. The Thousand Sunny sailed onward, cutting through the waves with determination, guided by the steady hand of Nami, who watched the Log Pose intently. The final leg of their journey was underway, but the tension in the air was palpable—everyone knew they were headed toward the most dangerous confrontation they had ever faced.
On the deck, Luffy sat cross-legged, staring out at the horizon, his usual carefree demeanor replaced by a serious expression. His fists clenched tightly at the thought of what was to come. Behind him, the rest of the Straw Hats busied themselves with preparations for the upcoming battle.
"Luffy, we're getting closer," Nami said, glancing over her shoulder. "Raftel is just beyond these treacherous waters. We'll need to navigate carefully, but... I have a bad feeling about what's waiting for us."
Luffy turned to face her, his grin returning, though it was tempered by determination. "Don't worry, Nami! No matter who's waiting for us, we'll beat them. We've come too far to stop now."
Nami smiled, though concern still clouded her eyes. "Yeah... but it's not just the pirates we have to worry about. The Marines will come, too. This is bigger than any of us."
"They'll come," Luffy agreed, "but we'll face them together. Like we always do."
Nearby, Zoro leaned against the mast, sharpening his swords with a quiet focus. He could feel the tension rising, but it only made him more eager to fight. "This is what we've been training for," Zoro muttered to himself, glancing at his swords. "The strongest enemies we've ever faced... bring it on."
Sanji, on the other hand, was more concerned about keeping the crew in top condition. "Oi, Marimo, don't get too excited. We've got to keep our strength up before we get there. I'm making a feast!" he called out as he headed toward the kitchen. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."
Meanwhile, aboard the Red Force, Shanks stood at the bow of his ship, his expression unreadable as he stared out at the horizon. His long red hair fluttered in the wind, and his gaze was fixed in the direction of Raftel. Benn Beckman approached from behind, lighting a cigarette and exhaling slowly.
"You're worried about him, aren't you?" Beckman asked, his voice calm but knowing.
Shanks nodded slightly. "Luffy's come a long way. But the world is going to come down on him hard now. The fruit he's carrying... it's more dangerous than even he knows."
Beckman raised an eyebrow. "The Sun God Nika... You think the others know what it really means?"
Shanks' eyes narrowed. "The World Government does. That's why they're sending everything they've got. And the other Emperors... they'll want it for themselves. Luffy won't just be fighting for the One Piece—he'll be fighting for his life."
Beckman nodded, taking another drag. "So what's our move?"
"We protect him," Shanks replied simply. "We've waited long enough. Luffy's time has come, and we'll make sure he gets to Raftel. No matter who stands in his way."
The rest of Shanks' crew listened silently, knowing full well the gravity of their captain's words. Yasopp, Luffy's sharpshooting father, clenched his fists. He hadn't seen his son in years, but now, the final moment was approaching.
"I'll do whatever it takes to make sure Luffy makes it," Yasopp said quietly, his voice full of resolve.
On Kaido's warship, the giant beast of a man sat on his throne, laughing as the waves crashed against the hull. Kaido, the strongest creature in the world, was eager for the upcoming fight. His eyes glinted with excitement at the thought of finally facing Luffy again, now that the young pirate had become strong enough to truly challenge him.
"So, that brat's coming for Raftel, huh?" Kaido growled, his massive hand gripping his club. "The Sun God Nika... I've waited for someone strong enough to face me. Luffy will be the fight of my life!"
His crew, the Beast Pirates, scurried around the ship, making preparations for battle. King and Queen, Kaido's most powerful subordinates, stood nearby, discussing their strategy.
"The Straw Hats are stronger than before," King said, his stoic expression never wavering. "Luffy's unlocked a power we didn't anticipate. This won't be easy."
Queen, always confident and boastful, laughed. "Doesn't matter! We'll crush them, just like we crush everyone else. No one can take down Kaido!"
Kaido's laughter boomed across the deck. "Let them come! I'll show Luffy why I'm the strongest in the world!"
On Whole Cake Island, Big Mom was in a frenzy of preparation. Her monstrous children gathered around her, each one a force to be reckoned with in their own right. Katakuri, her most loyal and powerful son, stood silently beside her, his arms crossed.
"Mama," Katakuri said quietly, "Luffy has grown far stronger than when we last fought him. His power... it's not to be underestimated."
Big Mom, towering over everyone, grinned wickedly. "I know, Katakuri. That brat has something valuable—something that could make us even more powerful. But it's not him I'm worried about. It's the other Emperors. Kaido and Shanks won't let this chance slip away. We have to be ready to crush them all!"
She turned to the rest of her children. "Prepare the fleet! We're taking Raftel, and Luffy's power will belong to us!"
Katakuri clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing. "Yes, Mama. We'll be ready."
At Marine Headquarters, the tension was reaching a boiling point. Sakazuki (Akainu) paced back and forth, furious at the reports flooding in. The Gorosei had issued a direct order to stop the pirates from reaching Raftel, and Akainu saw this as the perfect opportunity to finish what he had started at Marineford.
"Luffy's grown far too powerful, and the other Emperors are making their move," Akainu growled. "We can't allow them to reach Raftel. Send everything we've got—Admirals, Vice-Admirals, and the SWORD unit. I want Luffy's head, and I want it now!"
The Admirals, Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu, stood ready for battle. Kizaru, as always, was calm and almost disinterested.
"Well, this should be fun," Kizaru said lazily, though his eyes gleamed with excitement. "It's been a while since I've had a real fight."
Fujitora, always thinking strategically, nodded. "The balance of power in the world is shifting. We must act swiftly, but we must also consider the consequences. Raftel holds more than just treasure."
Ryokugyu, the newest of the Admirals, grinned, eager for the battle to come. "Time to show the world what the Marines are capable of."
As all the major forces moved toward Raftel, the world held its breath. The race was on, and the final battle for the One Piece was about to begin. But in the hearts of the Straw Hat Pirates, there was no fear—only determination.
Luffy stood at the bow of the Thousand Sunny, his eyes locked on the horizon. His voice was steady as he spoke to his crew. "We're going to Raftel. We're going to find the One Piece. And no one's going to stop us!"
The crew cheered, their resolve as strong as ever. They had faced impossible odds before, and they would do it again. The journey was far from over, but they were ready.
"Let's go!" Luffy shouted, his eyes filled with fire.
