While Luffy headed towards the Grand Line, on this same day, an incredible incident was unfolding in a corner of Mary Geoise. Amidst their duties, the CP agents and the Holy Land guards were completely oblivious to what was about to transpire. A man tasked with monitoring the Vivre Cards of all living Tenryuubito noticed something unusual as he went about his work like any other day.
"Hmm? What's that smell? It seems like something's burning..." the man murmured as he traced the strange odor. Approaching a large wall that served as a monitor for all Tenryuubito families, used to locate them when necessary or when one was in danger, the agent noticed a paper on the Delacourt family board catching fire and disappearing each moment.
"This... can't be!" exclaimed the agent, recognizing the situation. He immediately reached for his Den Den Mushi to report the emergency to his superiors.
"Agent 003 here! Primary level urgency! The Vivre Card with the name Octavian Delacourt is burning, the user is dying, I repeat, a Tenryuubito is dying!" he shouted, and within two seconds, the room was flooded with other agents entering swiftly, so agile that even the small man had no time to react.
"That..." one of the shadows that appeared spoke ominously, looking at the paper being destroyed and disappearing before them.
"Where was Octavian Delacourt?" another voice said, with a serious tone.
"Here, in this report. He went out for a stroll and to acquire new possessions for his collection... The last time he was seen and contacted headquarters, he was entering the Reverse Mountain." Someone grabbed a registration notebook and began analyzing.
"He entered one of the Four Blues then... Immediately contact the Den Den Mushis on his ship. We need to know which one he was in and what happened. We must determine if it was a natural event or if he was a victim of assassination. Then we must act," said one of the shadows with a large sword on their back.
"Assassination? Would anyone have the courage to do that?" someone among the shadows asked.
"They shouldn't, but we must always consider that possibility. If it was the case, we must eliminate the threat that dared to touch the World Noble, but we must prevent this from being announced to the world. It wouldn't be good for any of us with news of someone killing a World Noble," asserted the shadowy voice with seriousness and continued speaking.
"I will personally report to the Gorōsei and await their orders regarding the situation; this must be brought to them immediately. The Marines will also be notified; if necessary, we will act according to their instructions..." spoke the voice in the shadow.
"Yes, sir!" the agents responded in unison. Thus, the group disappeared from the room, leaving Agent 003, who couldn't react to this movement, even though he knew Haki; he was powerless against those figures far beyond the forces they already considered elites.
As the sun rose on this day, the world witnessed the publication of a newspaper that would shake the foundations of maritime news once again. In bold letters, the name "Monkey D. Luffy" topped the front page again, sparking a wave of curiosity among eager readers.
"This pirate again?!"
"What's with these newspapers?! I want to see news about Yonkous!"
"This newcomer again?"
"Wait, look at the photo and the article..."
"This... This is big!"
"And to think that this pirate belongs to such a family?"
"This will shock the world..."
These phrases echoed around the world. On the front page was a notable captured image. In the upper right corner, an imposing photograph of Monkey D. Dragon took space, his mysterious demeanor and revolutionary aura standing out. In the devastated square of Loguetown's center, Monkey D. Garp rose like a colossal figure, witness and participant in a battle that shook the place where the legendary Gold D. Roger faced his execution. On the other end of the image, Monkey D. Luffy, transformed into his phase 2, displayed a fierce posture as purple flames covered his body, while Monkey D. Lucy, dressed in Marine attire, looked confused, observing the turmoil before her.
The bold and intriguing title of the article proclaimed: "Meet the most bizarre family in the world, the Monkey Ds." The text continued with a captivating narrative that took readers on a journey through the recent events involving these notable members of the Monkey D. family. In addition to highlighting Luffy's notorious feats, the article revealed the surprising connection between them, pointing to familial ties that transcended individual notoriety.
"Did you know that, in addition to the notorious pirate Monkey D. Luffy, who conquered the East Blue and is heading towards the Grand Line, he fought against the navy hero in Loguetown?" the article inquired. "The fight devastated the square where Gold D. Roger was executed, turning it into a field of chaos as another prominent figure joined the fray—the leader of the revolutionary army and the world's worst criminal. But what you didn't know was that these three members are related to each other and are closer than you can imagine, as their names are Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Lucy, Monkey D. Dragon, and Monkey D. Garp. Yes, they are a family!"
In a place in the New World.
"Shanks, look at this... Luffy made another big noise!" said a man with a cigar on an island in the New World.
"Luffy again... well, that's big... Dahahahaha." The Yonkou had to admit.
"Hahahahaha. Luffy seems to be becoming famous even before entering the Grand Line; he even faced his grandfather."
"Not to mention he already got me into trouble..." Shanks's humor was slightly ruined with these words.
"Hahahahaha. I still remember your face looking at that newspaper."
Flashback.
"Hey, Shanks! There's quite shocking news in this newspaper."
"What would it be?" Shanks asked curiously.
"It's about your wife; she's in the newspaper."
"Wife? Do I have a wife?" Shanks was confused.
"Look!"
"Makino, I miss her; did she become queen after Luffy killed that king? That's amazing!"
"Look closely! It says she's your wife!" The man exclaimed again.
"Wife... 'Queen Makino is not only the queen of Goa, but she is also the wife of Akagame no Shanks, the last Yonkou who settled in the New World.' This..." Shanks took a few seconds to process the information.
"Makino is my wife!?" He shouted.
End of Flashback.
"Luffy is causing more chaos in the world than I could imagine from that brat. I don't even want to imagine what his next news in the newspapers will be..." Shanks had to murmur, as the fact that Makino seems to be his wife is causing him trouble, not only with his crew now laughing and making jokes about him, and some old friends commenting on this fact, making more jokes or even congratulating him, with some asking if he plans to dominate the East Blue. Luffy put him in a position where he involuntarily has to protect the Goa Kingdom at this moment.
"I'm going to make Luffy pay for all of this; when I find him, you'll see, brat!" Shanks spoke with a somewhat irritated tone, still remembering how his life changed in the last few days.
On the island of Bolo.
"This boy is Garp's grandson and Dragon's son?"
"Yes, Mama..." one of the Yonkou's commanders informed.
"MAMA...Interesting, send an invitation to him! I want him at the first tea party when he comes to the New World. Maybe a marriage with my daughters; his Devil Fruit seems powerful; he'll be a good subordinate!" Bigmom said calmly, as she had already finished her meal.
On an island in the country of Wano.
"This... Is a mythical beast?!" Kaido looked at the newspaper; he initially looked uninterested at the newspaper, but when he saw Monkey D. Luffy transformed in Loguetown, his expression became genuinely interested. After all, for someone who wants to create the world's strongest beast crew, a newcomer with a fruit that no one knows is vital for him to have in his crew.
"It's a mythical zoan, all indications point to that," said King, but he spoke seriously.
"But there's something even more shocking in these news." He showed a wanted poster with a woman.
"Yamato?! That brat was with this group the whole time in the East Blue?!" Kaido even dropped his drink and looked shocked at his daughter on the wanted poster of that crew.
"Yes, it seems she was in the East Blue all this time," King commented.
"I'm going there! I'll get the brat and capture the user of the mythical zoan!" Kaido quickly stood up.
"Wait, Chief Kaido, this isn't safe; it will take a long time to get there, not to mention you could be arrested by the Marines if you're seen alone; we can't risk it." King quickly spoke, trying to prevent his boss from doing something reckless again. He was lucky that Kaido wasn't drunk at this moment, making the strongest creature in the world look at him at this moment and listen to him reasonably.
"What do you expect me to do, my son and a potential recruit are in that place; I want to get them."
"Let's send Jack to the first half of the Grand Line; that won't attract as much attention. At least the Marines won't send their main forces to deal with Jack..." King said cautiously.
..." Kaido looked at him for a while before exhaling.
"Okay, send Jack to fetch the brats. There's a rookie with an ancient Zoan surfacing as well, isn't there?" Kaido finally gave the order.
"Yes, his name is X Drake."
"I want you to fetch the brat as well!"
"He's with Page One in a part of the New World; I'll immediately send him to Paradise and ask Queen to return, as Miss Yamato is not in this sea." King spoke and went to the Den Den Mushi to issue the orders.
In the depths of the sea, the royal family received a new fax from the Whitebeard Pirates after seeing the newspaper.
"Damn human, does he have the world's most wanted man as his father?!" Neptune said with a dark expression.
"He's dangerous, already killed a king and took a picture with my sister in his lap, that damn human, what does he think he's doing!" Growled one of the king's sons and Shirahoshi's brother.
"Why does my little sister look so happy with that human?!" Still remembering the photo that came out in the newspaper with Shirahoshi and Luffy on the throne as if they were a couple.
"Don't worry, no matter if your grandfather is Garp and your father is Dragon, Jimbei will get him and bring our Shirahoshi with him!" Another brother affirmed.
Meanwhile, in the Goa Kingdom.
"Look, if it isn't Luffy! Seems like he had a fight with Garp. Fufufufu." Makino laughed while sitting on the throne with a crown on her head.
"Damn brat..." Dadan, dressed in a completely different way than when she was a bandit in the mountain, grumbled seeing Luffy's photo, but she couldn't help but be surprised by him fighting against that monster Garp.
"My queen, you can't find humor in looking at such shocking news..." A minister tried to advise Makino.
"Now the world knows that Garp, Dragon, and Luffy are relatives. I'm not too worried about the first two, but Luffy will certainly face more pressure at sea..." Woolp spoke beside the throne, as he had become a minister to the queen against his will.
Elsewhere, in Paradise.
"Damn! Dragon appearing in the East Blue isn't enough; a Tenryuubito was killed!" Sengoku commented in front of the three admirals in a meeting.
"He was killed? How scary!" Kizaru spoke with his usual expression.
"Should we take action?" Kuzan commented, raising an eyebrow.
"Who are we going to kill for this affront?" Akainu spoke ominously.
"We don't know yet how he died; he was at the entrance to the Grand Line. We don't know where he was killed; it could have been in any sea." Sengoku spoke.
"But we have a suspect, don't we?" Kuzan spoke.
"Yes... Everything indicates that it might have been Monkey D. Dragon; he is the prime suspect." Sengoku spoke seriously.
"These damn revolutionaries, so he's acting so openly against the world government?"
"What are we going to do, he escaped Loguetown, didn't he?" Kizaru said, looking at the photo of Dragon on his desk.
"I'm sending a vice-admiral to each sea to find out what happened to the Tenryuubito, but we will take action. We may not know where Dragon is, but we can hunt his son; that's the order of the Five Elders." The fleet admiral spoke.
"Garp's grandson? That's a threat; can I handle him?" Akainu spoke.
"No, I'll send Kuzan; I need you and Kizaru here. There's a Whitebeard commander in this sea, and according to some reports, the strange activities of the beast pirates in the New World are returning to Paradise. It's possible that Jack is coming to this sea."
"A pirate worth a billion... How scary!" Kizaru spoke.
"Well, anyway, when should I act?" Kuzan spoke.
"Let's see what these forces want in this sea; once things stabilize, you'll go after Dragon's son, and even Garp won't be able to act to help his grandson since it's a possible assassination of a world noble." Sengoku concluded.
