Third Person POV
Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
While the girl was protesting for Luffy to get out of there, he was approaching as she stared at him with her mouth agape, between him and the unconscious Tenryuubito being dragged along, while the mermaid on Luffy's back just looked on with curious eyes.
"Who is she, Luffy-Sama...?" she asked.
"This is Bonney, one of the pirates from the worst generation," Luffy commented.
Bonney growled at Luffy as he got closer, "What are you doing here? I told you to get this man out of here!" She shouted again.
It was a common reaction for anyone, after all, touching a Tenryuubito was practically declaring your own destruction.
"Why are you so angry??" Luffy remarked, cleaning his ears.
"Angry?! Do you know what you've done?" she began to scream, stomping on the ground like a child.
"Yes, I hit a Tenryuubito, it's very easy, you should try," Luffy commented.
"As if I would do something so stupid!" she shouted back at him, thinking Luffy was a clueless fool. Luffy just kept a tight smile.
"Come on, don't be like that, I'm here to talk to you." Luffy spoke calmly.
"Talk? An admiral is going to come here soon, and I don't want to get involved in this conflict. You're crazy, you might fight one, but we're not all like you, we're not at that level yet, you idiot, idiot, idiot!" she began to scream, kicking the ground.
"She seems very angry, she's so funny..." commented Shirahoshi, giggling quietly on his back.
"Who's funny!!!" Bonney growled at Shirahoshi.
Luffy just shrugged, Bonney reaching a point where she could no longer bear to talk with these crazy people and turned around to leave as quickly as possible.
"I met your father a few days ago..." Luffy suddenly said, and the girl immediately stopped, turning and looking at him with stunned eyes.
"It was funny, I was beating up a Shichibukai at that time, he showed up to stop me and we fought... I hit him a bit, and he really proved to be one of the most powerful Shichibukais..." Luffy commented, still remembering that he didn't come close to beating him, but surely landed some punches that even dented his tin.
A moment later, Luffy saw a hand grab his jacket near the neck as Bonney stood close to him, looking at him seriously. "How do you know about that?" she demanded immediately.
"Well, you could say I know a few things here and there, and more than that, I can help you," Luffy spoke unconcerned with the girl demanding answers in front of him.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked, looking cautiously at this man.
"I won't say everything right away, but I want you under my flag," he said with a smile, his will wanting her to join his main crew.
"You think I would join you?" she snarled, finding the idea ludicrous.
"I know you're just a child, Bonney, that you use your fruit to transform your body into an adult and hide your age..." Luffy spoke, making her fall silent.
Luffy sighed before continuing. "I can help you, I can even help your father," he finally said, not wanting to waste time and getting straight to the point.
"You can't be serious," she said, not believing him.
"I can, we can help him at Egghead with Vegapunk... Kuma will undergo surgery soon and the rest of his humanities will disappear. There's nothing to do now, but in the future, I promise I can help you," Luffy spoke, keeping a serious tone with the girl.
"What do you mean he's going to lose his humanity?!" Bonney seemed frightened by this.
"He made a deal with the world government and it has to do with you..." Luffy finally revealed, Kuma sacrificed himself to save her.
"No..." Bonney seemed about to cry with this. "I don't believe you!" she spoke immediately, her life being full of lies and she not trusting people easily.
"Luffy-Sama..." Shirahoshi seemed a bit surprised with this.
"Hm?!" Bonney was so stunned she didn't even feel someone approaching and hugged her, she looked and saw the mermaid who was with Luffy appearing with a warm hug and gentle eyes.
"It's okay... if you want to cry..." Shirahoshi commented while maintaining a hug on the girl.
Some tears fell from Bonney at that moment, as the mermaid continued to hug the pizza-loving woman. Luffy nodded calmly while holding the unconscious and bleeding Tenryuubito in his hand, as people looked on from a distance, none daring to approach Luffy out of fear.
"My father is really going to lose his humanity...?" She asked Luffy, crying.
"Yes..." Luffy admitted. "But that doesn't mean you can't help him in the future..." He said finally, as the girl seemed to be crying a lot at that moment.
Luffy continued. "If you want to know something, Bonney, I know where Nika is," he said, now causing the girl to look up in surprise still in tears, maintaining a stunned gaze at Luffy.
"How do you know that?" She growled at Luffy, while Shirahoshi remained confused upon hearing the conversation and ended up returning to Luffy's back at that moment.
"How would I not know about Nika..." Luffy commented more to himself than to her, his gaze returning to the girl and continuing. "As I said, I know many things..." he turned his attention to a confused Shirahoshi and smiled.
"You see this mermaid on my back?" Luffy said.
"Me?" Shirahoshi looked at Luffy, confused, waiting for what he would say about her.
"What about this mermaid?" Bonney asked, wiping her tears, but still the words about Nika seemed the only thing to her.
"She is an ancient weapon, one that possesses the power to destroy the entire world," he spoke calmly. He was already talking about Nika; mentioning the ancient weapon wouldn't make much difference now, and Luffy had made sure no one was listening to their conversation, especially about having a fallen Tenryuubito there.
Bonney grimaced at Luffy's assertion while Shirahoshi looked confused and pointed to herself. "I can destroy the world?" Shirahoshi asked, confused.
"You can, you're just not ready to control that power yet, but soon, the whole world will fear you," Luffy smiled at her, despite not liking to refer to Shira as a weapon, he still couldn't lie about her heritage. He then turned back to Bonney, who was grimacing at what she had heard.
"Anyway, I'd like you not to tell anyone about our conversation. And I believe I can help you in saving your father. You'll find all this under my flag, and if you have your own crew, there's no reason they shouldn't also get involved in the fleet I'm building. You know that the enemy is the World Government, and it's a much more powerful enemy than the pirates of the New World..." He said, pausing before continuing.
"You can't handle them alone. That's why, if you want a chance, join me. Just like I need strong companions I can trust with my life, you will also need strength and powerful allies, Bonney." Luffy spoke as Bonney seemed thoughtful about it.
But Luffy wouldn't stay there much longer, after all, he had an auction to attend. "Anyway, an admiral will come soon. So think about what I said and make your choice, join me or go your own way, but remember my words," Luffy spoke and began to withdraw while pulling the Tenryuubito by the hair again, looking like a beaten dog.
Meanwhile, people were closing in, hiding, as Luffy passed through the street while people continued running.
Bonney watched Luffy walking away with his mermaid and the Tenryuubito, seeming to come out of her state of shock she had entered several times since Luffy started talking to her and turned around, kicking the ground. "No... he was just lying all along... He can't be serious... it's too much information for someone to know about... who is he...? Anyway, I'm not going to trust a madman who hits a Tenryuubito like it's nothing..." She said to herself and started to leave, heading in the opposite direction from Luffy.
Meanwhile, the news of Luffy hitting a Tenryuubito so hard quickly spread through the marine channels, as such a significant event couldn't be kept quiet for long, even though all the agents with the Tenryuubito were still on the ground, knocked out by Luffy's haki.
"This is horrible!!! He hit a Tenryuubito!!!" A uniformed man shouted in alarm, as everyone in the room quickly grimaced at what they heard.
"This can't be happening!!!" Another said in a tone that indicated he was denying reality.
"To think that someone would raise their hands against the descendants of the creators of this world... This Monkey D. Luffy is worse than we imagined..." Another spoke.
"Notify headquarters immediately!" They wasted no time and quickly passed this information forward, as this was already beyond what they could handle.
Some time later, "WHAT?! HE DID WHAT?!" Sengoku shouted from his office as loud as his lungs could muster, being heard throughout Marineford.
"Damn, why does Garp's grandson have to be such a nuisance!!! At a time when we need to focus our forces for an imminent battle, this bastard!! And where is Kizaru who should already be on the island with his speed!!??" Sengoku yelled as some officers in front of him shrank back.
"Sir fleet admiral..." The man tried to speak.
"Spit it out!!" Sengoku was out of patience making the man shrink even more.
"Admiral Kizaru took a warship..." He said, stuttering with some fear.
"That damn it!" Sengoku wasn't even bothering to censor his words against his allies, he just picked up his den den mushi and made a call.
A man in a yellow suit was enjoying the sun, lying on his beach chair while the ship continued sailing with some sailors managing the ship as he lay there enjoying himself and approaching the Sabaody Archipelago from a distance, but the island wasn't even in sight yet.
Then his den den mushi started ringing and he calmly saw that it was a call. Without hesitation, he answered, asking what Sengoku wanted, after all, he wanted to enjoy this time a little until he reached Sabaody.
"Hello, hello..." he spoke in his iconic way.
"Kizaru, you bastard!" Sengoku began scolding him while the other shrank back, surprised by this, wondering what had happened to be scolded in such a way.
"A Tenryuubito was struck by Monkey D. Luffy in Sabaody a short while ago. You were supposed to be on the island, what are you doing? Get there immediately!"
"What?" Kizaru immediately shouted, then, realizing the gravity, he quickly stood up while the sailors looked stunned.
"I'm heading out first, I'll meet you guys later!" He said and simply disappeared, transforming into light and flying into the sky, heading towards Sabaody.
