Third Person POV
In several locations at sea, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Several days after the titanic clash, the island of Jaya had been transformed from a devastated scene, not only by the city in ruins but even the geography of the island underwent changes with huge craters and mountains missing in its landscape.
The battle between Luffy, Enel, Doflamingo, and the forces of the Beast Pirates had turned the place into ruins. Many people returned to the island after the battle to pick up and loot things. However, the event was so significant that the Navy arrived on the second day to report the situation to their superiors and heard from some witnesses, capturing some pirates with a bounty on their heads.
The news of the devastation in Jaya spread like wildfire across the sea, capturing the attention of neighboring islands and all nearby maritime factions. Hearing the reports, they began to fear for their own safety. The possibility of their island or kingdom being the next place with such conflict left everyone alarmed, and the governments of these kingdoms were struggling to contain the situation. The Navy even had to be called in to provide some sense of security, as no one wanted to see the same destruction in their homes.
The Navy, in turn, intensified its operations in the region, filling these waters with Navy ships patrolling, looking for any sign of the involved parties, even fearing to deal with these forces, they still had to follow their orders and the ideology of the Navy.
The pirates captured by the Navy who had been on the island told of a fire giant dominating the battlefield, lightning falling from the sky, and shockwaves so powerful that the island itself seemed to twist under its impact while trembling, a line of fire tearing through the sky and the island rising with the final impact of the fight. These reports, though they seemed exaggerated to some, were enough to leave even the most experienced sailors quite frightened by the power of the pirates who fought in Jaya.
Elsewhere, out of the eyes of the Navy, since they destroyed all ships that tried to board them, the ship of the Beast Pirates was sailing with a somewhat injured Jack at the center, hours after Luffy made them flee, they finally managed to rescue Jack from the bottom of the sea, who was thrown by Luffy's blow. Found in a semi-conscious state and severely injured, Jack was brought back to the surface and immediately taken to his ship, where he began to recover from his physical wounds and the blow to his pride.
On this ship, the atmosphere was quite tense, no one said anything or tried to breathe while looking at Jack, the calamity was in a bad mood, and the Beast Pirates knew they could die if someone irritated him. Jack was furious; he had been defeated by a rookie who said he would take him to Kaido along with Miss Yamato, but was defeated in such a humiliating way, and Page One was taken by the same. He didn't even have the face to face Boss Kaido with that.
"Jack... Don't be so moody; it wasn't your fault," the den den mushi in front of him spoke.
"It wasn't my fault? I was defeated by a damn kid, Doflamingo, and Page One are in his hands," Jack spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Wait," advised King, "reinforcements are on the way for the rescue of Page One. And Kaido can't lose Doflamingo; he's too important to us after all. In fact, I'm trying to hold him back, but the boss wants to go to paradise to sort this out anyway," King commented a bit worried.
After they talked for a while, Jack returned to his crew trembling with rage. "Tsk, I need to find someone to take my frustration out on, let's go to some island where I can destroy things!" Jack spoke, and the crew quickly started to move with the order of the calamity.
While the ship of the Beast Pirates was crossing the waters to find some kingdom that would be its victim, a tense meeting was occurring under the Marine Headquarters. Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, found himself in a particularly nervous situation. Before him, an assembly of Shichibukais had been convened, a meeting that happened periodically to discuss matters of importance to the balance of power in the seas. However, this meeting was different; it was charged with an urgency and tension that was rarely seen.
Doflamingo was supposed to be present at this meeting, which is why he didn't hesitate to leave Dressrosa to go to paradise to meet Luffy. After dealing with the rookie, he planned to head to Marineford, but Luffy disappeared for weeks, and as soon as he found him a few days ago, he was defeated by the rookie.
Besides the capture of Doflamingo, Sengoku was a bit angry about the empty chairs at the table, now having only 6 Shichibukai with one vacancy open, another two were absent, Hancock and Jimbei, with only Gecko Moria, Bartholomew Kuma, and Mihawk seated in their places alongside the marines.
"Even though I said this meeting was important, only 3 showed up..." Sengoku murmured and turned back to the attendees, vice admirals, admirals, and the Shichibukai. "Let's start the meeting." He began and captured everyone's attention.
"As you know, the rookie Monkey D. Luffy is proving to be an unprecedented threat," Sengoku started, with a tone of frustration in his voice. "His ability to grow and his current strength almost toppled half of the Shichibukai. Now he has not only defeated Doflamingo but fought against Jack and threw him into the sea, capturing an important member of Kaido right after. He has the Logia user of thunder by his side, an unknown that Luffy calls Enel, with no records of him in any fight, it's as if he emerged out of nowhere. Besides this powerful nature user who might rival or even surpass the admirals in power, he doesn't seem very strong or have mastery of Haki, but the biggest problem is the pirate Monkey D. Luffy, despite being a rookie who entered the sea a few months ago, he has the same power as an admiral." Sengoku finished his introduction, and the room seemed a bit disturbed.
"A rookie with the power of an admiral?!" A vice admiral commented.
"I'm sure he wasn't that strong when I met him in Alabasta," Momonga commented, quite frustrated.
"Are you saying Garp's grandson is getting this strong in just 2 weeks?" Another vice admiral said.
"How scary..." Kizaru commented on the side.
"How strange, I was sure he didn't have that strength when I met him..." Mihawk commented.
"You met him?!" Akainu looked at Mihawk, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, in the East Blue, he was just a rookie, but I saw his mythical Zoan in action, it was a bit strange, we fought, he and his vice captain, both users of mythical Zoans, their transformations were quite intriguing. I defeated them with some ease, but I could not lie that they have gigantic potential, perhaps the greatest I've seen in a rookie. They also had an interesting swordsman," Mihawk spoke calmly, not caring about the menacing look from Akainu at him at that moment.
"You said Yamato possesses a mythical Zoan too?!" Sengoku raised an eyebrow at that.
"Yes, some kind of white wolf that can launch ice," he commented.
"What's going on?! Since when do mythical Zoans seem so common?!" A vice admiral commented, frustrated.
"Why am I still surprised, this crew possesses 4 mythical Zoans, Garp, how did you raise this grandson of yours, I just want to arrest him for that!" Sengoku commented, frustrated with himself, Garp was not at the meeting, saying he would take his granddaughter to train on a dangerous island a week ago.
"Should we increase the crew's bounty?!" One suggested.
"1 billion after the victory over the calamity?" Another said.
"1 billion?!" Moria seemed frustrated with that, Kuma just stayed silent with an indifferent face.
"This is absurd for a rookie who hasn't even entered the New World, I refuse to give that reward, let's increase to 750 million or stay at 500 million, because besides rumors, nothing was published in the newspaper, we can muffle the chaos and Kuzan is arriving at Marineford to give more details about the pirate," Sengoku spoke and looked at everyone with a more serious tone than before. "But regardless of the bounty of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, one thing is certain, they are a threat that we must eliminate with all our forces, and for that, we need a coordinated response," Sengoku asserted, "and you, as Shichibukai, will play a crucial role in this offensive." He stated with a sharp look.
The meeting continued with them discussing other topics, including how to deal with Jack still in paradise and if the Beast Pirates would make a move, since they have the information that Luffy took a main crew member from Kaido.
"Shouldn't we let them kill each other? This is good for us," one of them said.
"Yes, but at what cost, a war devastating many islands? We are justice, we must protect the people, and we cannot let them cause chaos and terror at sea!" A vice admiral spoke.
"Tsk... Garp's grandson is turning the ocean of paradise into chaos, it will be catastrophic if a Yonkou decides to attack this sea..." Sengoku murmured a bit frustrated.
At that moment, the meeting room door opened and a sailor entered with a newspaper. "I apologize for interrupting the meeting, but something has happened!" This was one of Sengoku's secretaries, and for him to enter the meeting, something big had happened.
Sengoku took the newspaper and frowned at that moment at the headline. "I believed that Morgan wouldn't publish anything about the event after the government threatened him... Now there's no hiding it, he is once again causing chaos in the world and becoming a threat that we must stop soon," Sengoku said frustrated, looking at the newspaper.
On the front page, there was an image of Monkey D. Luffy dragging Doflamingo and Page One in a state of defeat and humiliation, making it clear that this figure was once again at the center of another storm, involving another Shichibukai and even the Beast Pirates, of Kaido.
The article continued not only with Luffy defeating the two in the photo but even Jack, one of the calamities and main forces of Kaido fell before the rising pirate, but also that he was thrown into the sea, toasted by a devastating fire attack cutting through the sky. This act was not just a display of brute power; it was a direct declaration of war against one of the Yonkou of the New World, Kaido, often described as the strongest creature on the planet. Luffy's audacity in challenging such a figure, known for his unparalleled strength and feared influence, on his territory, reverberated through the world like an earthquake, shaking the foundations of the established power balance.
Throughout society, from the humblest villages on remote islands to the corridors of power in Mariejois. Pirates, marines, revolutionaries, and ordinary citizens — all found themselves in a mix of disbelief, admiration, and fear. Luffy's boldness in confronting the force of a Yonkou even before entering the new world was something that shocked everyone, fear was in every corner of the world, as this was an event that could cause a war and shake the balance of the world and the security of the kingdoms in paradise.
In the effervescent editorial office of Morgans, the media mogul and president of the World Economic Journal, the atmosphere was of palpable excitement. Surrounded by vibrant posters and spectacular images of Luffy's recent fight in Jaya, secretly captured by one of his most daring employees who had infiltrated the island, Morgans could not contain his enthusiasm. Each photograph captured a moment of the epic battle, with the dominant image of Luffy dragging Doflamingo and Page One further solidifying the dramatic narrative that was unfolding.
Meanwhile, the person responsible for this headline was sitting in his office, screaming with joy and laughing with a satisfaction only the prospect of record sales that this headline would bring. Morgans, seated in his chair, contemplated the images with a shrewd gaze. "Monkey D. Luffy is, without a doubt, the star of the moment," he declared. "We will not miss any of the moves of this young pirate and rising rookie. He is redefining the rules of the game at sea, and we will be there to document every step, every victory, every challenge, everything will be documented and published!"
Morgan had already directed his attention to the young pirate in the East Blue, his audacity and strength demonstrated were a clear representation of his potential, and Morgans was becoming increasingly interested in the pirate. After the events of Loguetown, he had already been tracking the crew's route, and after Alabasta, he had placed employees on all the nearby islands to start reporting on the crew's activities. He was almost losing hope of finding them in these waters when they finally emerged, destroying underworld bases on several islands, fighting an admiral and escaping, causing a gigantic explosion at sea, although Morgan did not know what happened, it was probably an enemy faced by Luffy.
Then in Jaya, things got really interesting. Morgan was surrounded by images of Luffy fighting against Jack and Doflamingo while that Enel fought against Page On. There were images of Luffy transformed in his final phase, striking Jack in the air.
"This is so fantastic, it's a shame I could only publish a few photos, I wanted to publish them all!" Morgans laughed as he looked at the cover photo and then a few more photos with Luffy stopping Jack using his arms in transformation level 2, a photo of him staring down the enemy forces before the fight, and another photo of him in his colossal form, in the middle of the destroyed city, sending Jack flying with his breath of purple flames.
He laughed and looked at other photos on the table, with satisfaction. "You haven't seen anything yet," Morgans proclaimed to himself, and continued. "Tomorrow's story is going to shake the world even more than it already is." His confidence in the news that was to come made his eyes gleam. On the table, there was a photo of Yamato, one that would be published in the newspaper the next day.
