Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]

Third Person POV

Sabaody.

...

...

"Command!!" A sailor exclaimed over the den den mushi.

"Hm? What is it?" The voice on the other end of the den den mushi sounded weary.

"Straw Hat is in Sabaody!!" The sailor said with a tone of urgency.

"Hm? The one from the newspaper?" The person asked with a bit more disposition.

"Yes... I'm sending the photo to you." The sailor spoke before sending a photo he took of the Straw Hats hidden as they moved through the streets of Sabaody and entered the bar they were currently in.

"This photo... I see..." His disinterest returned in his tone of boredom.

"What shall we do?! Can we protect the island and the citizens if they decide to destroy the island?!" The sailor exclaimed, scared by this thought.

"Leave it to me." The voice spoke and simply hung up on the sailor, leaving him speechless and still lost without knowing what happened.

In a room, a large man after hanging up the den den mushi for that sailor, picked up a special one while saying, "Hello. There's this individual in Sabaody..." He spoke.

"I see... just a fake, exterminate them with a few pacifistas." An old man's voice spoke from the other side of the den den mushi and the big man nodded.

It was obvious they were not the Straw Hats, so with just 2 pacifistas, they set out to exterminate the impostors, after all, the Straw Hats had become a symbol of the government's insufficiency and letting them roam around declaring themselves as Straw Hats would be a slap in the face to the World Government and Marines.

Although the man on the den den mushi didn't care much, and only asked to send two pacifistas, other people in Mary Geoise were already aware of the appearance of the Straw Hats and began demanding the worst kind of death for them, and several CP agents, forced to obey orders from the Celestial Dragons, had to immediately leave the city and bring back the heads of those men in the newspaper, after all, the Tenryuubito hated Luffy more than anyone else in this world.

"I will go!" In a special room in the city, everyone present looked surprised at the female figure, standing up at this moment.

"Are you sure? Just to take care of some ants?" A man with red hair looked at the woman in surprise.

"Yes... I would give a slow and painful death for them dressing up as those lesser beings we are waiting to appear to eliminate." She spoke firmly.

"Alright... just come back soon." The leader nodded to her, while the woman went to the window, as four white wings sprouted from her back, before she shot off with divine light into the sky, and descended below the Redline, heading for Sabaody.

"Saint Venus decided to act..." A Gorosei looked through the window.

"Let her, we don't have time to deal with a holy knight acting on her own or even a fake straw hat, let's continue our discussion about the new world, after all, Im-Sama is not at all happy with what happened this last year." Another spoke as they continued their meeting.

Meanwhile, in a bar in the middle of Sabaody, a ship was docked nearby unnoticed, while several bodies had fallen outside, one because the conqueror's haki knocked out all the customers who were in the bar and the owner herself threw everyone out the next moment, while the bar was filled with new people.

"So you all look so strong... really a year has been good to everyone..." Shakuyaku said at the counter while resting her chin on her hand and smoking a cigarette.

"Yes! I'm super strong now!" Lucy exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes... she is." Rayleigh confirmed beside her, sitting in one of the chairs and grabbing a drink to sip.

"It's good to see you, but I hope you don't rob us more with your steep prices!" Nami exclaimed among everyone there.

The entire crew was practically there while they talked and drank now that the bar was just theirs, they knocked out the other customers because they did not want to be easily seen on the island.

"Zoro is with us, that's a miracle..." Usopp spoke while Zoro drinking a sake that Shakuyaku had priced on a paper, as Nami began to make a face seeing that, looked at the long-nosed sniper.

"How could I get lost? The ship is on the side of the bar." He grumbled.

"Because you easily get lost..." Kuina murmured.

"I never get lost." He asserted.

"..." Everyone looked at him at that moment.

"And what about that time we went training in the sky and you took a week to get back to Skypiea?" Kuina commented.

"Skypiea got lost." Zoro replied as if it wasn't his fault.

"..." everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"Anyway..." Shakuyaku resumed speaking, ignoring Nami exclaiming things to her, "Where is Straw Hat-Boy?" She asked, not seeing the captain.

"The captain said he went into town... to see someone who is pretending to be him..." Bepo answered.

"What? He's going to cause trouble again..." Lami replied.

"What do you mean someone is pretending to be him?" Lucy asked, confused.

"Look..." Shakuyaku picked up a newspaper and placed it in front of Lucy, who immediately looked at it curiously.

"This...?" Lucy looked at the group pretending to be Luffy and the others, before her eyes widened in shock.

"Luffy has a brother?! Wait, do I have a brother?!" She exclaimed immediately while Rayleigh and Shakuyaku looked at each other before sighing.

"Look! Nami has a sister!! And Franky, and Robin, Chopper, Zoro, Enel..." Lucy continued exclaiming in admiration.

"Not you silly..." Nojiko approached at that moment. "They are impostors, trying to pass off as us... to gain fame and followers... there's a recruitment poster of him in this bar." She showed the paper placed by the fake Straw Hats.

"I see... so Luffy is there..." Lucy commented at the end.

"Yes... I hope he doesn't cause any trouble!" Uta spoke with some tone of dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, in a bar, a fat, middle-aged man with unkempt beard, wearing a red vest, shorts with flip-flops, and a very poor-quality straw hat on his head, was in this bar in Sabaody while getting looks from people who stared at him discreetly to not be noticed and as soon as this man returned the gaze, everyone diverted their eyes in fear of enraging him.

After a year, he had returned and everyone feared him, the emperor without territory, and now he was on this island focusing on recruiting a fleet before heading to the new world.

As the news spread like fire through the island, more people became interested in joining this fearsome group.

"Can we join their group?" A man at the bar asked looking at the members of the legendary

"I wouldn't... they are inviting pirate bands only above 50 million for the captain's head..." Another colleague spoke cautiously.

"We should ask to join! Let's talk to him!" A third pirate at the table said, despite not having 50 million on his head.

"You fool... do you want to die... this man has the power to destroy the whole island!" A fourth said, wanting to hit his colleague before he got them all killed there.

"Better we go to the meeting they are gathering than we try any luck we might end up dying here." He spoke with some fear.

"Alright..." the others agreed.

"Hey, Bartender! I want some of your whiskey!!" The fat Straw Hat shouted while the man at the bar quickly nodded, grabbing a bottle from the shelf.

The bartender was walking around the counter at this moment to bring it to him, but it was at this moment that the door of the bar opened. While everyone immediately looked at that, which was a person wearing a cloak and calmly, he entered the bar.

Since the supposed Straw Hat arrived at this bar, no one had dared to show up here for fear of enraging the emperor's gang. So everyone looked at this individual entering the place surprised, but he seemed oblivious to it, proceeding to the counter and sitting down calmly, with his face covered so no one knew who he was.

The bartender passed by him with a bottle at this moment, but without realizing how, the bottle simply disappeared from his hand, looking frightened to all sides as he stopped, the man found the bottle in the hand of that stranger.

He shocked everyone in the bar immediately, while the bartender became desperate.

"Sir, that bottle was for an important client! You can't take it, please give it back, otherwise you and I will die terrible deaths!!" He exclaimed immediately.

But the hooded man didn't care. Calmly, he removed the cap and began drinking in front of everyone, leaving them with their eyes wide open.

"Does he know what he's doing?"

"He's drinking Straw Hat's drink!"

"Does this guy not know what he's doing?"

"He must be a lunatic seeking fame or trying his luck at provoking Straw Hat!" the onlookers whispered.

"My lord, you shouldn't have done that..." The bartender began to tremble. "Get out of here now, or he'll kill you!" He continued, not sure if he would survive this himself.

The stranger continued drinking the whole bottle to the last drop, sighing at the end. "This is delicious, this whiskey is from Whisky Peak, isn't it?" he commented pleasantly.

"My lord..." The bartender didn't know how to respond to that, while a shadow appeared behind him at this moment, making him tremble and he cautiously looked back, while everyone in the bar watched with some fear.

The bartender looked back and saw the supposed Straw Hat himself, who was glaring angrily at the stranger. Everyone in the bar stopped breathing, believing they were about to witness the cruel execution of this man who had challenged the one who alone had faced the Navy and the World Government.

"Hey, do you know who I am?" Straw Hat spoke with eyes as arrogant as his voice, while he took his pistol from his pocket and began to raise it to aim at the stranger's head.

"I don't know. Can you tell me." The man replied calmly with his young voice, which made Straw Hat even more furious.

"Listen here, you bastard! I am Monkey D. Luffy, son of the revolutionary Dragon and grandson of the Marine hero, Garp! The man who is considered the emperor without territory, who will soon conquer the new world, reach the peak and become the King of Pirates! The one who has already, alone, changed the course of an entire war! The one who no one, not even the World Government, can challenge easily! I am the closest to reaching the top of this world, and I... I declare you dead!" He spoke, and without waiting any longer, moved his finger to pull the trigger.

The supposed Straw Hat believed his words were enough to leave his fame at the peak in Sabaody while showing he was cruel to those who challenged him on this island. But, in the next moment, the space around changed, as a wave emanated from the stranger, catching the supposed Straw Hat and the wave traveled throughout the bar, reaching even his companions, who were sitting in a corner.

Before Luffy could pull the trigger or even know he was within that wave of Haki, he simply dropped the gun from his hand and his eyes turned white with foam coming directly from his mouth. Both he and his companions fell to the ground the next moment, and a collective scream arose in the bar.

"WHAAAAAAAT?!" The outside heard the commotion, in the street of that district in Sabaody.

"What? What happened?" The men in the bar exclaimed seeing all the Straw Hats falling to the ground, trying to understand what had occurred, but no one knew for sure.

No one there knew about Conqueror's Haki, as their gazes returned in astonishment to the mysterious man, who continued drinking unconcerned with what he had just done.

"This can't be true! How did he drop them all like that? Impossible! An emperor falling this way?" The exclamations continued.

As the man finally finished his bottle, he took some berries from his pocket and handed them to the bartender, who was trembling in fear in a corner.

"That was great, thank you. And you... are just as I imagined..." He said, looking at the fallen bodies and continued walking, stepping over the Straw Hat without showing any interest, and then he calmly left the bar, disappearing into the crowd of the city.
