[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy waited for everyone to disembark from the ship while he approached it and touched it, making it turn into a miniature. Enel was the last to leave, still somewhat bandaged from the last beating he took.
"Come on, don't be so down, you can have fun like everyone else." Luffy said to him while slapping his back, which made the self-proclaimed god scream in pain with a grimace.
"Tsk... A God does not entertain himself with mortals..." He murmured while trying not to show a pain expression right after the slap.
"Whatever... let's split up." Luffy said as the crew nodded, wanting to do their own things.
They passed through the crowd heading towards what they had planned to do as each one wanted to visit a different part of the island. The news not only spread from tree 1 to tree 29, but the entire archipelago began to hear rumors about the arrival of the Straw Hats, with everyone becoming quite cautious.
"I just got a call from the port! The Straw Hats are here!!" A man in a bar exclaimed while the others looked quite surprised by this.
"Let's go! I want to see these pirates!" Another spoke.
"Let's leave the island, they are trouble and I don't want to be in the eye of this storm!" Someone exclaimed, starting to leave the bar.
"We're also leaving, heading to the New World!" Another crew in the bar spoke, leaving right behind.
At the bar counter, the woman put one hand on her chin while smoking a cigarette. "How interesting, so they have finally arrived... I wonder where that guy is... after all, he himself said he wanted to see their arrival when the crew finally stepped off the island." She spoke calmly.
Elsewhere, in an auction house, an elderly man was chained with an explosive collar surrounded by slaves like him, waiting for the auction to start so he could be sold to some noble.
"What a bore..." He murmured with boredom, unaware of the news outside his cell.
In the southern region of the islands, where the navy base was located, they began to get agitated since the news of the Straw Hats had spread.
A man stood in front of rows of soldiers, giving a speech while they kept their weapons and stance aligned, listening to the speaker, a high-ranking officer from the base.
"They have docked on the island, we must spread out and watch every move they make, we will act if necessary, even if it costs us our lives. After all, we will give our lives for justice to fight evil!" The officer spoke, hoping that all those sailors would fight to the death, despite the minimal or almost nonexistent chances of surviving a confrontation against this pirate crew.
The sailors, although nervous, nodded, thinking they would fight if necessary. The officer continued talking about his plans as they would spread out across the islands in the archipelago.
In another room at the base, in a communications room, there was another officer speaking directly with the headquarters.
"So, they have arrived on this island... These damn pirates, they came out of Enies Lobby and clashed with 2 other Shichibukais... and even defeated Moria..." Sengoku growled on the den den mushi about this, after all, it was no secret Kuma appeared quite damaged while carrying a comatose Moria.
This frustrated him even more as he was losing forces that should be used in the war. Luffy was a major headache for him, especially with a war coming. A war that he could no longer stop, no matter what happened. What he hoped was that Luffy would also be drawn to Marinefort, to join forces and destroy them once and for all like they would with Whitebeard.
"What should we do, Fleet Admiral?" The other side asked.
Sengoku sighed, before speaking again on the device. "I want you to keep an eye on every move he makes," Sengoku explained, "get all the Tenryuubitos off the island now!" He gave that order immediately. After all, it was no longer a secret among the people with higher positions in the world government what Luffy had done.
That crew could very well want to mess with that group of untouchable people, so it was much more rational to remove them before any conflict arose, especially considering how the Tenryuubitos are, which made even Sengoku quite nervous.
Afterwards, the conversation continued a bit more about any strategy that might be tried against the pirates. "We'll do exactly that!" The officer on the other side said, finally hanging up the den den mushi.
Sengoku also hung up his Den Den Mushi and returned to the room where the three admirals sat in front of him. The first he noticed was Akainu, still a bit bandaged from the wounds of the fight at Enies Lobby and frustrated at hearing Luffy's name, while Aokiji seemed to be sleeping with a bubble coming out of his nose. Kizaru opened his mouth, almost saying: "How scary," as his usual phrase.
Sengoku sighed and began to speak, "Well, I'm going to have to send one of you there. I can't let that group do whatever they want, but avoid going to war with them there. After all, we should save that for here, at Marinefort," said Sengoku as Aokiji slowly opened his eyes, seeming to awaken.
"Who is going to go there, it seems quite dangerous...?" Kizaru asked, looking at one of his colleagues beside him. He saw Akainu, who was looking at him at this moment; he swallowed hard and his gaze shifted away.
"Well, well..." Kizaru commented while looking at him too.
Kizaru frowned and raised his hand, pointing to himself, and asked, clearly not wanting to go: "Me?"
Sengoku agreed with this, as of all the admirals, Kizaru was the officer with the best chance in a fight against Garp's grandson. "You must go, Kizaru. I would send Garp, since he is the best choice to keep his grandson in line. However, as soon as he arrived at Marinefort, he had to deal with some personal issues, returning to Impel Down," Sengoku commented, a bit frustrated, since as soon as he arrived, there was a mess, forcing him to make an extreme decision.
"But..." Kizaru tried to argue but was interrupted.
"Stop the drama, Kizaru. Go there and end the pirate as justice demands!" Akainu growled and complained immediately.
'If you're so eager about it... why don't you go?' Kizaru thought, looking at Akainu, since he was not keen on facing Luffy anyway.
"I'm counting on you, Kizaru," declared Sengoku in the end.
"Alright... I'll take my nephew..." He said, having no choice, Kizaru had to get moving as he stood up and left the room not very enthusiastically. After all, someone had to do the job.
Meanwhile, back at the Sabaody Archipelago, the crew had split up while Luffy was still held by Shirahoshi, he continued walking through the islands.
"Let's go, Luffy-Sama!!" Shirahoshi seemed quite excited while keeping pace with Luffy.
Luffy was not at all bothered by the girl's enthusiasm as they continued walking around, heading towards anything that caught their attention.
Robin, Kuina, and Nojiko went to the part of the island where the luxury hotels were located, wanting to see the place.
Meanwhile, Chopper, Bepo, Usopp, and Uta went directly to the park in the north of the islands, where there was a festival and rides for them to enjoy.
"Cotton candy!" Chopper was excited about the idea of buying some.
"Roller coaster!" Usopp and Bepo wanted to see the park.
"The festival!" Uta wanted to sing where there was a band performance.
As for Zoro, no one knew where he was. After all, as soon as they lost sight of him, he disappeared, probably lost somewhere on the island and hoping he wouldn't end up outside of Sabaody.
Reiju and Lamy went to compete in some competitions they themselves created on one of the islands of the archipelago.
"You're not going to beat me, emo girl!"
"Shut up, curly eyebrows!"
They began to argue while scaring everyone around them as they ran from the two crazy women.
Meanwhile, Hachi had to take Yamato to the place where they sold the fish that they rode like a kind of motorbike, according to Luffy.
"Come on, let's go!!" Yamato commented excitedly.
"Nee... we're almost there..." Hachi had no choice but to follow the orders of the vice-captain...
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the island... two men and a dog walked through the streets drawing attention.
"What's with all this gloom...?" Hugo asked the other man.
"I'm not gloomy, after all, I will be a god, just a bit out of action..." Enel seemed to try to maintain his composure, but his situation was not pretty.
"Wolff!" Chouchou mocked him with a bark.
"What did you say, mutt?!" Enel did not appreciate a dog mocking him, and though he didn't understand what the bark meant, he still felt the mockery.
"Woollfff!!!" Chouchou growled at Enel.
"This is going to be a long stay..." Hugo commented, seeing that he wouldn't have an easy time there.
In an area where various criminal operations spanned from area 1 to 29, four women gathered in a corner.
"Are we really doing this?!" Vivi asked, a bit worried.
"Of course, why wouldn't we, we're pirates..." Alvida commented, adjusting her hat.
"Think of the money, Vivi. The lovely money!!" Nami said with dollar signs in her eyes and drool dripping from her mouth.
"I can buy some accessories so that master can punish me later!" Baby-5 declared determinedly.
"..." Vivi, Nami, and Alvida looked at her strangely at that moment.
"Anyway... let's start here, then here... and here... and finally here!" Nami began pointing to various spots on the map where they would be operating.
"Whatever." Vivi sighed and finally nodded.
Alvida and Baby-5 smiled and nodded too.
As the girls prepared to put on a show... elsewhere, there was a man in a suit listening to the den den mushi.
"We should leave the island..." another man spoke cautiously.
BANG!!
A shot was heard, and the same man fell dead the next moment, with the Tenryuubito looking on with disdain. "We are not leaving this island because an inferior being is here, do you understand?!" He spoke, looking at all the agents.
"Yes, Saint Charlos!!" Everyone nodded at the same time, afraid of the wrath of that world noble.
Saint Charlos was atop a slave as they walked through the streets of Sabaody with all the people bowing before him in fear and respect.
He had been warned that Luffy and his crew were on the island and that the navy's guidance was for him to leave immediately, but he could never be commanded as he was a noble of high status, his arrogance scoffing at that notion, after all he would never think that an inferior being would stand against him, being a descendant of the creator of this world.
So, he continued on his way, doing his things while enslaving people openly without anyone daring to speak against it.
