[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]
Third Person POV
Somewhere in the sea, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
After a whole day of sailing from the sandy shores of Alabasta, the Black Pearl finds itself in the open waters of the ocean, a solitary point distant from any land. The crew, though tired from intense training, was vibrant, each member immersed in their tasks and hobbies, keeping the ship and their things laughing and chatting with each other.
Luffy, standing at the bow, observes the sea ahead with a solemn gaze, nostalgic for the salty smell of the sea breeze after days of traveling the desert.
His attention was abruptly diverted when a dark shadow began to grow alongside the ship. With a mix of surprise and calm, Luffy watched as the water around began to churn violently. Suddenly, with an explosion of foam, a huge sea monster emerged next to the Black Pearl. The creature, resembling a serpent covered in fur, with just its head being twice the size of the ship, rose menacingly, its eyes fixed on the crew.
"These monsters are getting stranger and stranger..." Luffy murmured with his calm voice, finding the sea monster very strange.
"A Sea King, the sea is so scary!!!" Chopper shouted, visibly scared, while Vivi tried to calm her loyal duck, Karoo, who was running frantically across the deck.
Luffy, in a calm movement, turned to the rest of the crew. His gaze landed on Reiju, the pink-haired woman delivering refreshments to Kuina and Alvida. "Hey, Reiju. How's our meat supply?" he asked, seemingly unconcerned with the monster beside the ship.
"Hm... it's quite full, Luffy…" She replied, surprised by the captain's calmness.
Luffy nodded and then turned his attention to Shirahoshi, the princess beside Hachi. "Shira, want to send this Sea King away?"
"Hmm… okay… Luffy-sama, I'll try the first way!" Shirahoshi spoke timidly, her voice almost a whisper but determined. She began to move toward the Sea King, the imposing presence of the Sea King contrasting with the gentle nature of the mermaid.
Everyone aboard the Black Pearl watched, a mix of fear and fascination, as the sea princess approached the monster. The Sea King glared furiously at Shirahoshi, questioning with its gaze why she dared to challenge it.
The answer came in the form of a deafening *ROOOOOAAAARRRRR*. The sea monster expressed its fury and defiance with a roar that echoed through the air and made the waves around it churn violently.
Shirahoshi turned to Luffy, a shadow of concern passing through her usually tranquil eyes. "Luffy-sama? He doesn't want to obey? Should I use the second method?" Her voice trembled slightly, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Luffy, standing firm on the deck, nodded calmly. "Yes, Shirahoshi. You can use the other method."
"Hm... I'm sorry... Sea King-sama... but... hm?!" Shirahoshi began, but before she could finish her sentence, the monster lunged. In a quick and violent movement, the huge creature swallowed her in the air.
A shocking silence took over the ship, a moment of pure horror and disbelief. Then, the silence was broken.
"AHHHHHHHH SHE'S BEEN SWALLOWED!!"
"Shirahoshi!!!"
"Luffy, save her quickly!"
"Nee... Princess-sama!!!" The crew shouted in despair, their voices blending into a cacophony of fear and panic.
But then, the unimaginable happened. Above the monster's head, an explosion of blood burst like a bomb. The Sea King stopped abruptly, its body trembling before becoming motionless. And then, to the shock and relief of all, Shirahoshi emerged through the hole she created in the creature's head, her hand coated in Haki.
"Hm... sorry, Sea King-sama, but I had to deal with you like this..." She murmured timidly, a blush of sadness on her cheeks.
"She just killed a Sea King..." Some murmured, surprised by the unknown strength of Shirahoshi. The news that she dominated Haki was unknown to most, and her demonstration of power left everyone aboard in silent admiration.
"Damn, she's so ahead of me, I can't even do that..." Zoro complained, realizing he was left behind by Shirahoshi, even Luffy was showing greater talent than him.
"She's better than me too, Zoro..." Luffy murmured.
"Hey, Reiju, can you find a spot in the fridge to put the monster's carcass?" Luffy asks.
"Tsk... I'll try to arrange it." She grumbles.
"Do you want me to shrink it?" Luffy suggests.
"What for? If you get defeated, it'll destroy my kitchen!" She growls at the thought.
"Alright then..." Luffy murmurs and turns to Shirahoshi. "Well done, Shira! You're getting stronger and stronger!" Luffy celebrates.
"Thank you, Luffy-sama..." She responded timidly and returned to the crew.
"Hey, a seagull delivering newspapers is approaching!" Yamato comments and points to one side.
"Great, will I get my reward if the news comes out?" Bepo asks excitedly.
"Let's see..." Nami speaks and waits for the seagull to arrive, it didn't take long for it to appear and Nami to grab a newspaper.
"Well... it looks like we're on the front page again." Nami comments, looking at the photo and the headline title.
"Hey Luffy, how do you manage this, I thought this photo was exclusive to us..." Nojiko asks beside him.
"I said I have a contact in the newspaper." Luffy declared, he always sends good photos to shock the world.
The photo was the last one the whole crew took with 2 Shichibukais and a vice admiral as trophies. Nami began to read the newspaper in her hands.
The title read, "Chaos in Alabasta! The Unstoppable Rise of Monkey D. Luffy's Crew - Capturing Two Shichibukais and a Vice Admiral Challenging the Power that the Navy and the World Government So Pride Themselves On Falling into the Hands of a Rookie Pirate!! Are we still talking about rookies who entered the Grand Line a month ago? Can anyone still stop the crew that plays with Shichibukais?!"
In the article, "In a shocking twist that is shaking the foundations of the known world, the crew of Monkey D. Luffy, already known for their daring feats and powerful connections, has catapulted themselves into the limelight once again. This time, the stage of their unbelievable feat was in the kingdom of Alabasta, a place already turbulent from its own internal struggles. What no one expected was that Luffy and his crew would leave such an indelible and dramatic mark.
The news spread like wildfire: two Shichibukais and a Vice Admiral of the Navy, revered and feared figures around the world, were captured and displayed simply as trophies by the Straw Hat crew. This feat is not just a testament to their growing strength but also a bold statement against the established authorities.
But who is Monkey D. Luffy, this young captain who defies the world? Entering the Grand Line just a month ago, he's already challenging the world order, creating chaos wherever he goes. Luffy, with his confident smile, makes many wonder how far he will go? Will the sea change with his name? What do we expect in the future with his rising ascent?
The capture of the Shichibukais and the Vice Admiral was not just a victory; it was a statement. The Straw Hat crew isn't just playing the game known as the great pirate era - they're changing the rules.
As the world reads this news with a mix of admiration and fear, one question hangs in the air: who, if any, can stop the meteoric rise of Monkey D. Luffy? As the World Government and the Navy digest this humiliating defeat, the world watches, fascinated and terrified, to see what the future holds for this young pirate and his intrepid companions."
Nami finished reading, and everyone fell silent, now they were really at the center of the world, what they did was too big.
"That's quite exaggerated. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Morgan likes to cause chaos." Luffy was the first to break the silence, laughing at those somewhat forced news from the mind of the writer who did that, like he could really be everything that's written there, but his potential is too hidden for someone to declare, firstly that he's a double akuma no mi, no one should know that.
"Luffy, take this seriously, we're in quite a bit of trouble here." Vivi reprimanded him.
"I want to see the wanted posters!" Usopp shouted hopefully.
Nami pulled behind the newspaper the new wanted posters and there was the crew.

After Nami revealed the wanted posters, a wave of reactions took over the deck of the Black Pearl.
"500 million?!" Luffy exclaimed, his smile widening. "Am I expensive, huh?"
Zoro, looking at his own poster with a value of 80 million, let out a grunt. "Not bad, but I was expecting more after all this."
Lami, with a sly smile, commented on her 100 million reward: "Looks like my skills are being recognized. Watch out, Luffy, I might overtake you."
Yamato, observing his poster, seemed satisfied. "150 million... Not a bad reputation to start with."
Nami, holding her 50 million poster, said relieved. "They didn't change it this time, at least."
Shirahoshi, with a shy expression, looked at her 5 million poster. "I didn't want to cause trouble..."
"5 for Chopper? Is that a joke?" Usopp laughed, despite his own value of 25 million. "5 berries?!" Chopper seemed shocked.
Reiju, with an indifferent expression, observed her 80 million reward. "Seems like I have to be more cautious now... still, I'm 20 million below that gothic woman..."
Nojiko looked at her 40 million poster and sighed. "This is going to bring more trouble than I expected."
Hachi, with his 15 million value, just smiled. "I just want to make takoyaki in peace."
Kuina, with a determined expression, looked at her 40 million poster. "This won't stop me from continuing my path."
Alvida, as vain as ever, looked at her 20 million value. "They must have forgotten to add a zero."
Robin, with a mysterious smile, observed her 79 million poster. "Seems like my bounty hasn't changed, besides associating me with Luffy and the others..."
Bepo, excited, asked about his reward. "25 million! My bounty!"
Broggy and Dorry, the giant warriors, laughed together. "100 million is an honor for a warrior!"
Laboon, playing on the ship, had no idea of his value of 5 Berries, but everyone laughed at the irony.
Hugo, with his arms crossed, just nodded to his 150 million value. "This is unexpected, but I haven't done anything..."
Chouchou, the valiant dog of 100 million, barked, clearly confused but liking that he was famous along with the others.
