"You are the old man Ace is so fond of... you seem like a nice guy...." Lucy commented, sitting beside Luffy.
"Gurarara. And you are Lucy, Ace spoke very highly of his two brothers," Newgate spoke calmly.
"Not just us, there's one more," Luffy smiled at that.
"Sabo! I can't wait to see him soon! Shishishishi," Lucy said with an excited smile.
"We'll meet soon," Luffy smiled, and his gaze fell on Whitebeard. "Anyway, we are heading to Fish-Man Island, I'm sure Neptune will throw a grand feast," Luffy said.
"He will, but do you think the man will easily accept you there after you kidnapped his daughter?" Whitebeard asked with a smile.
"Of course, I'll ask her father for her hand in marriage," Luffy declared.
"What, you're getting married?!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
"I can't imagine that guy's face, but it will surely be fun," Whitebeard continued with his smile.
"There's that, but there are also other things that need to be done there," Luffy said with a serious tone while Whitebeard had a serious glint in his eyes.
"What are you talking about, kid?" he asked.
"Fish-Man Island is casting a shadow that will soon cover the island in a civil war, I told this to Shira the first time we met," Luffy commented before continuing. "There's a person named Hody Jones who is forming a group of fish-men with ideologies starting from a fish-man named Arlong, one my navigator killed in the East Blue. Even though he was weak, he still managed to plant an ideology of fish-men hating humans, treating them as inferior beings. This guy is also behind the death of Queen Otohime," Luffy said, while Lucy remained silent this time.
Whitebeard looked very serious, "Jimbei had mentioned something about this..."
"It won't be something that happens now, they might act in a few years, but I want Shira to handle it, after all, this is her land and she is now ready for it..." Luffy said.
"If the girl can handle it, then it's fine..." Whitebeard, despite having Fish-Man Island as his territory, wouldn't prevent his princess from dealing with the issues.
"Another thing also... I intend to move Fish-Man Island to the surface," Luffy stated seriously.
"Do you think you can?" Whitebeard asked, knowing the old dream of the sea folk, they wanted to coexist with humans on the surface.
"You know I have Shiki's power in my crew, I'm planning to bring multiple kingdoms together when I head to the new world," Luffy shared some of his plans.
"When will you sail these waters, kid?" Whitebeard asked.
"Soon, but I plan to train for some time, I'm without my devil fruits at the moment, it will be an opportunity to enhance my haki and body," Luffy said, he wouldn't need to rely so much on his fruits anymore.
"I see... so you had a negative reaction... you really were scary to deal with that old government guy... and to think they were so strong... I don't know why they weren't sent to GodVilley..." Whitebeard reminisced about his youth.
"I had to make extreme decisions, but I didn't even have full control of my awakened form... The only thing on my mind was to kill that elder," Luffy admitted.
"Anyway... I don't know what would have happened if you had shown up at Marineford," Whitebeard admitted, looking up, with the comet still illuminating the morning sky.
"To be honest, I thought you were going to die," Luffy spoke earnestly, he didn't believe Whitebeard would make it out alive, which is why he didn't promise anything to Jimbei at Impel Down.
"Gurarara. Do you really think this old man would go down easily?" Whitebeard mocked. But then his face turned to a more serious tone. "However... with these wounds of mine... I don't think I will last much longer," he admitted, looking out to sea while no one else around listened to their conversation, except Marco hiding, the only one awake that Luffy noticed with his haki.
"You know that Teach will come after you, right?" Luffy spoke.
"Yes... and let him come, next time I will be able to finish him." Whitebeard was confident.
"Just be careful with your fruit... it can absorb all the powers from other devil fruits and I believe it can remove the devil fruit from dead users... you know what that means, don't you...?" Luffy said with a gleam in his eye, as he began to drink his rum.
Whitebeard was surprised for a moment and nodded. "So he wants my power in his crew..." He said with a bit of disgust.
"Not just that..." Luffy shook his head. "He wants your power for himself, after all, he has the ability to hold more devil powers than the yami yami no mi," Luffy said.
"That's impossible." Whitebeard didn't believe Luffy's words while Lucy looked at her brother curiously.
"He was already a devil fruit user, even before using the devil fruit," Luffy revealed, speaking about his theory of how Teach's body works, after all he has not one or two hearts, but three.
"He was already a devil fruit user?!" Whitebeard stopped drinking as he looked at Luffy in a stunned tone.
"Has he ever shown that he isn't a devil fruit user, like have you ever seen him at sea, getting close to Seastone... Ever?" Luffy asked seriously.
"That... I don't remember... I've never seen Teach at sea," Whitebeard admitted.
"I don't know how it works, but it's quite likely he ate the Tako Tako no Mi, Model: Kraken, that would make his body have three hearts like the mythical beast suggests..." Luffy said.
"..." Whitebeard was silent for a while, thinking about what he heard.
"Anyway, be careful with him, I could have killed him before, but I didn't because I believe he will be a good fighter to keep this sea from getting too boring when I reach the top, so don't fall to him like that," Luffy spoke, beginning to form an arrogant smile.
"Gurararararara." Despite the arrogant words, Newgate was not offended by them and just laughed at Luffy. "Do you think you can do again what you did in Marineford? The enemies for the one who wants to reach the top are nothing more difficult than a war with the navy..." Whitebeard said with interest.
"You can bet on it." Luffy smiled. He knew the enemies far better than the man known as the strongest in the world in this era of pirates. "The new era is coming. Joyboy will return, the war that will decide the future of this world will happen. And I will do whatever it takes to protect my people, I will dominate all the seas and be known not only as the king of the pirates, but the emperor of all seas," Luffy spoke confidently.
'I bet my arm on the new generation.' The words of Shanks echoed in Whitebeard's memories as he listened to all this from Luffy, but he was shocked by the mention of Joyboy.
'I wish I had lived in the era of Joyboy...' In another memory of Newgate, Roger once said this to him.
"Joyboy?! Who is this?" Lucy asked curiously to her brother while he laughed.
But before Luffy could answer, Whitebeard began to laugh. "Gurararararara!" He started to laugh much louder than before. As everyone began to wake up with his laughter. "Well done, kid, it will be a pity that I won't be here to see how this world unfolds, but it will certainly be very interesting...!" Whitebeard never cared about getting the One Piece, he knew what Roger predicted was never for him, his only goal was to keep his family well and have a good successor to protect them after death.
'It's not Teach... But is this the man you were waiting for, Roger?' Newgate murmured internally looking at Luffy, though not interested in asking who the Joyboy that Luffy mentioned was.
The crew continued waking up from Whitebeard's words echoing throughout the fleet, while Luffy maintained a calm smile for the man.
"Luffy, Lucy!!??" Ace, being on the Moby Dick, approached surprised after waking up.
"Ace!!!" Lucy exclaimed before they joined the crew, and the small talk between Luffy and Whitebeard turned into a feast as they spent the rest of the day with the commanders and some captains.
They spent the rest of the day heading toward the Red Line, while a crew member began to coat the ships even while moving at sea to submerge in the water before descending to its depths.
Meanwhile, the meeting continued non-stop among the 4 Gorosei, Sengoku, and Kong, deciding on the Straw Hat crew's bounty. They weren't worried about Whitebeard, after all, he wouldn't last long after the damage he received at Marineford, but the Straw Hats were a different matter.
"So this is the best bounty for him..." An elder decided.
"A rookie with such a bounty... it's absurd... but there's nothing to be done," Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro murmured.
"A bounty unprecedented for a man who has done unprecedented things..." Saint Marcus Mars said in a serious tone.
"Even though this is the official bounty... it won't be all after all, we the Tenryuubitos will not let this pass easily and will put Monkey D. Luffy's head on the black market," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said.
"..." Sengoku and Kong remained silent, as Luffy's photo was printed on the table for everyone to see, his bounty starting with a 3 followed by several digits. The crew of Monkey D. Luffy became the most wanted in the world.
"In such a situation, I believe we should call him..." Saint Topman Warcury commented.
"No, we should not bother him," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter advised and the others agreed, although Kong and Sengoku didn't know who they were talking about, but they certainly wouldn't ask these four.
As the elders spoke, Luffy's bounty was not just limited to that; after all, the Tenryuubitos throughout Mery Geoise, enraged by what they had witnessed, began to call all their contacts, further increasing Luffy's bounty. Luffy might not be the most wanted man in the world officially, but as the Tenryuubitos began to gather money to kill him through the underworld, he surpassed his father, becoming truly the most wanted person in the world, despite having 6 common Tenryuubitos and 2 warrior Tenryuubitos hearts under his custody.
Unaware of his official bounty and total bounty, two Black Pearls sailed underwater with Whitebeard's fleet, as finally, Fish-Man Island began to appear in front of them; they had finally arrived.

My last Review on this fanfic...
[This fanfic either has fake rating or the author is deleting negative reviews. Cause this fanfic does not deserve the current rating, plus it has one of the most unlikeable Mc. Mc is a hella dumb and has zero survival awareness. Doesn't give a shit about consequences and seem extremely selfish. If author delete this comment, I know for sure author is deleting comments. Also, the author also tries to make Mc seem like he doesn't give a shit about females yet has him summon all females. The author changes Shirahoshi age to 18 even though she isn't. If you are gonna have harem be blatant instead of wussing out.]
Why are these woke people so annoying? Like, they say Luffy has no respect for women, that he is selfish, calling him sexist, or even complaining that Shirahoshi is 18 years old here. I thought this was a fanfic... where authors can change whatever they want here and there... read it if you want... but don't be a pain.
