...
...
After the dazzling spectacle of turning a large part of the City of Gold into digital riches, Luffy calmly turned to his still-stunned crew. All eyes were fixed on him, still processing what they had just witnessed with open mouths and eyes the size of an egg.
Luffy smiled, he decided it was the ideal moment to discuss the future plans of the Straw Hat Crew.
"Everyone, pay attention!" called Luffy, his voice carrying a natural authority.
"What you just saw is just a fund-raising to strengthen our crew," Luffy began, looking at each of them.
Nami, always practical, intervened: "Luffy, with all this gold you've absorbed, what are your plans? How will this help us?"
"Our ultimate goal," Luffy continued, "is to dominate the seas. Not to rule with tyranny, but to ensure freedom and safety for all of us and for those under our protection, I've never hidden this, I intend to overthrow the world government, since with it, how could I be the emperor of the sea?" Luffy said, leaving everyone even more surprised by this.
"The world government?!" Usopp shouted as usual.
"Luffy, you can't be serious!" Vivi practically screamed in alarm.
"This..." Even Robin was stunned.
"Well... that makes sense, but it's a surprise to hear this, how many people can say that." Reiju said calmly.
"I hope this doesn't bring us trouble." Alvida spoke.
"What do you mean it won't cause trouble? This is a big problem!" Kuina complained.
"I liked it." Hugo crossed his arms.
"Me too." Zoro said.
"Do you intend to join the revolutionaries?" Lami asked, seeing that the goals intertwine.
"They are allies, since my father is the leader and my foster brother is also a high official, so it's quite possible we'll be together in the final battle." Luffy comments, responding to Lami.
"Wait Mugi-Chan!! Are we going to face the whole government?" Bom-Clay asked a bit worried, the crew members mostly already expected this from their captain, but the new intriguing members of the fleet were quite frightened.
"This seems fun, doesn't it Broggy."
"Of course, we can face powerful opponents, Dorry!"
All but 2, Luffy looked at everyone and continued. "The plan is the following, something big will happen in the next few months at most, something that will change the world," Luffy announces, leaving everyone a bit surprised by this statement.
"Something that will change the world?" Nojiko commented.
"What's going to happen, captain?!" Bepo exclaimed with some fear.
"A war that will change the era, the era of pirates is about to end." Luffy said confidently.
"The great era of pirates?" Chopper asked a bit surprised.
"Karooo?" Vivi's duck was also confused.
"Yes, and we will act right in the middle of the storm, after that, some time after that, we will start a war in the new world behind territories to get our own place in that sea." Luffy spoke.
"Woolf! Woolf!" Chouchou barked excitedly.
"Grrrr!" Laboon joined his friend.
"This seems dangerous..." Nami commented.
"Will we be ready?" Yamato asked.
"Don't worry, we will train a lot in this kingdom before continuing our journey, when I'm done with you... you all will be so powerful that you can face the marine headquarters with all its forces and survive it." Luffy had a sadistic smile at this moment, sending a shiver to all of them, they now knew they would train like never before.
"I don't like this..." Mikita murmured.
"Me neither, I just hope he respects the elders!" Miss Merry Christmas said.
Luffy continued, "We are powerful, we have some members with Haki, like Shirahoshi and Yamato, powerful mythical zoan fruits, like Me, Yamato, Nami, Chouchou, and Hugo, but this strength is still not enough. This time will be dedicated to intensive training, especially in Haki. The challenges we will face from now on will be enormous, and we need to be prepared."
The crew nodded in agreement, aware of the seriousness of Luffy's words. Some, like Zoro and Yamato, seemed particularly eager for the rigorous training that was to come.
"We will face powerful enemies, governments, other pirates, and maybe even the forces of nature," said Luffy. "Each one of you will have to surpass your limits. We will train hard, learn to control and enhance our skills, and become stronger together."
"We'll make Skypiea our temporary headquarters. Here, we have the freedom and space we need to grow. When we leave, we will be a force the world will have to recognize," he emphasized this part again.
"Now let's start the next topic." Luffy announced, opening a screen in front of him.
Luffy, with his eyes fixed on the system before him, began to carefully select the items he would buy with his 50 billion berries. The screen displayed an impressive variety of options, but he knew exactly what his crew needed to strengthen on his wish list.
First, he selected the mythical Akuma no Mi:
- "[Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Phoenix. Price: 5,000,000,000 Berries.]" This mythical Zoan-type fruit, gender-neutral, of the Phoenix, with a fire element, would be perfect for a crew member who needed regenerative abilities and fire manipulation.
- "[Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Shiva. Price: 5,000,000,000 Berries.]" This mythical Zoan-type fruit, female gender, of Shiva, with an ice element, offers the user freezing ability and creation of massive objects.
- "[Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Bahamut. Price: 5,000,000,000 Berries.]" A mythical Zoan-type male Akuma no Mi of Bahamut, with a light element, ideal for someone with extraordinary offensive and defensive abilities at distances.
- "[Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Leviathan. Price: 5,000,000,000 Berries.]" A mythical Zoan-type female Akuma no Mi of Leviathan, with a water element, suitable for someone with a natural affinity with the sea and the ability to manipulate water; this fruit was the only one in the world without weakness in the sea.
- "[Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Odin. Price: 5,000,000,000 Berries.]" A mythical Zoan-type male Akuma no Mi of Odin, with a darkness element, offering a powerful set of dark abilities.
Next, Luffy selected a legendary weapon:
- "[Supreme Grade Sword, Ace. Price: 10,000,000,000 Berries.]" The last sword used by Gol D. Roger, currently without a possessor. A powerful addition to the crew's arsenal.
Finally, he opted for a rare Logia fruit:
- "Wind Logia [2,000,000,000 Berries]." A Logia-type Akuma no Mi that grants the power to control and transform into wind, a strategic ability for the team.
Luffy spent a total of 37 billion berries on the purchases, after these purchases, he still had a remaining balance of 14 billion berries. Luffy confirmed the purchases, feeling satisfied with his choices. He knew these items would be crucial in elevating his crew's power to new heights, preparing them for future challenges.
As he finalized the purchases in the system, the items began to materialize in front of him, to the astonishment and admiration of all those present. One by one, the objects appeared, each wrapped in an aura of mystery and power.
First, the four Eikon Eikon no Mi fruits emerged, shining with distinct colors and energies. The Phoenix model fruit emanated a warmth and a flame glow, the Bahamut had a white glow reminiscent of pure light, the Leviathan fruit exhaled a deep and tranquil blue, and the Odin seemed to absorb light around it, with a dark reddish and enigmatic glow. Each fruit had a unique aspect, reflecting their mythical powers.
Next, the supreme sword Ace appeared, known for having been used by Gol D. Roger. The blade gleamed with an imposing aura, its sheath and handle were of simple elegance but emanated a sense of power and history. Everyone in the crew looked at the sword stunned, for those who did not know the weapon, its aura was evident, especially to Zoro and Kuina.
Finally, the Wind Logia materialized as a constantly moving air sphere, a visual representation of the wind power it conferred.
The crew, now surrounded by these incredible treasures, was left speechless. They looked from one item to another, "These fruits..." Nami commented, sensing the familiarity of the fruits with her own.
"Yes, they are almost all the Eikons. There is just one I've set aside for now." Luffy had specific plans for the last Eikon, he would buy it later and put it in the ship's vault.
With a serious yet excited expression, Luffy began to pick up the fruits and throw them to specific crew members. He had already planned who would get each fruit.
For Shirahoshi, he handed the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model Leviathan. "This fruit will transform you into a majestic creature of the ocean. Your power will be unmatched in the waters, it's perfect for you, and you won't lose the ability to swim with it," said Luffy, acknowledging Shirahoshi's natural connection with the sea.
"This is for me, Luffy-Sama..." Shirahoshi looked at the fruit carefully.
Zoro received the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model Odin. "This fruit will give you dark and mysterious power, perfect for a swordsman of your caliber," Luffy said, knowing that Zoro could make the most of this dark power.
"The power of darkness..." Zoro murmured, thoughtful about eating the fruit.
Usopp was gifted the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model Bahamut. "This will turn you into a legendary giant, Usopp. Your ability as a shooter will only grow, being able to launch rays of light instead of bullets," Luffy said, encouraging Usopp to accept the challenge.
"What?! I will be able to shoot laser beams?!" Usopp shouted excitedly, and Chopper had starry eyes beside him.
Reiju was graced with the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model Phoenix. "With this, you gain the power of regeneration and control over flames. It will make you almost unbeatable," Luffy stated, impressed with the capabilities of the fruit.
"Regeneration? I don't want to be a medic, we already have the gothic girl and Chopper." Reiju murmured, "What did you call me!?" Lami shouted from the background. "But I like the flame part, and I'll be able to transform into a giant beast... that sounds interesting." Reiju spoke, nodding about the fruit.
Kuina was chosen for the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model Shiva. "This fruit will give you incredible destructive powers, Kuina. In addition to freezing and creation of objects, it will enhance your fencing skills," Luffy said, confident in Kuina's ability to use these new ice powers.
"The power of ice..." She commented, looking at her sword, Tensa Zangetsu.
Vivi received the Wind Logia. "This fruit will give you control over the wind. Imagine the possibilities in battle and exploration," Luffy observed, thinking about how Vivi could use the power to assist the crew.
"The wind Logia?!" Vivi was impressed, she knew Crocodile also had a Logia, now she had her own.
Luffy handed out the fruits, each with tremendous potential, knowing his companions would use them to further strengthen the crew and help in the battles to come.
"So, we will start training from tomorrow, I'll be with you for a week before sorting out some things below us. So you better be prepared for the worst training of your lives!" Luffy announced.
