Third Person POV
Somewhere in the sea, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
A few hours before Luffy started his call to the 5 elders, Black Pearl continued sailing the sea, moving further away from the destroyed Enies Lobby.
"I can't believe we made it out alive from that place! There were wars and fights everywhere!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Woof! Woof!" Chouchou barked.
"Luffy, you didn't have to throw me that way!" Yamato complained, remembering the last moments.
"Haha. You had fun, you just won't admit it," Luffy told Yamato.
"I'm so hungry..." Nami murmured.
"Hey, curly-brow cook, can you bring some food?" Lami spoke.
"What are you doing, emo girl!?" Reiju snarled. "But alright, I'll bring food, except for this woman!" She said, heading to the kitchen.
"Nee... I think I'll help her prepare the food!" Hachi commented, also entering the kitchen.
"Uta-Sama, can you sing a song?!" Shirahoshi requested.
"Of course!" Uta exclaimed, beginning to sing for everyone.
"They just got out of a fight like that, and they're all so lively..." Nojiko commented...
"Fufufu. What did you expect from this crew...?" Robin commented.
"Master, I've prepared a clean chair for you to sunbathe!" Baby-5 prepared Luffy's chair.
"Hm? Thank you." Luffy approached and sat down while Baby-5 fanned him.
"You're so lazy..." Vivi complained, seeing Luffy looking like a king.
"Come here, my princess, your husband wants you by his side." Luffy called her to sit beside him.
"Tsk." Vivi clicked her tongue while blushing but went to sit next to Luffy.
"Are you only going to ask one of your wives?!" Nami complained.
"You're very welcome, come sit by my side." Luffy requested.
Before Nami could react, Yamato pushed her and sat in that chair. "Haha. I need to relax a bit!" She exclaimed with a smile.
"That was my chair!" Nami made a comical growl, complaining.
"I think I'll train..." Zoro spoke and headed inside the ship.
"Me too... I need to get stronger..." Kuina followed Zoro.
"I'll join you..." Hugo commented, joining them.
"GRRR!"
"Karooo!"
"Sharky!"
The 3 animals stood in front of Uta as she began to sing, Luffy relaxed with Baby-5, Yamato, and Vivi by his side, while Nami sat with a frustrated face next to her sister in a corner.
Uta's voice was heard at this moment.
"Here we go, under the deep blue,
Sailing to where the world turns round.
With the wind as our guide, the sail to swell,
Every wave a story, ready to explore."
"Stars above us, our stellar map,
The moon lights the way, never leading us astray.
Mysteries of the sea, calling to be found,
Hidden treasures, ready to be uncovered."
"Companions by our side, a family in formation,
Laughing at adversities, overcoming every situation.
The horizon calls us, beyond what we can see,
In every port a new adventure, at every dawn."
"Oh, the adventures on the sea, where dreams sail free,
Together we face storms, on seas never before described.
With courageous hearts, and a destiny to fulfill,
Across the waves we go, with endless stories to discover."
"Under the starry sky, promises we make,
To explore every mystery, to where the maps forget.
Waves against the hull, the melody of the sea,
In every adventure, a new place to love."
"The salty breeze, the setting sun,
Stories of courage, of fights, and of love.
The world is ours, dreaming at the bow,
With sails to the wind, together we sail the sea."
"Oh, the adventures on the sea, under the vastness of the sky,
We sail together, to the destiny God has given us.
Among stars and waves, our journey will never end,
With united hearts, through the sea, to eternally sail."
"Very well, Uta-Sama!" Shirahoshi clapped her hands.
A moment later, Reiju and Hachi came out of the kitchen while distributing food, Reiju gave nothing to an angry Lami, but Hachi handed food to her. As they stayed like this for hours.
In the middle of the sea, a ship was spotted approaching them, and Luffy stood up with a smile as he saw the ship with the head of a lion, finally, they arrived! Luffy spoke, and everyone looked in that direction.
"What an incredible ship!" Chopper had stars in his eyes.
Franky finally steered the ship close to Black while Usopp, Bepo, and Greg, the gorilla Luffy captured a long time ago and made his mascot, came along with the ship.
"Look at my suuuuuuppperrrrr-Ship!" Franky appeared striking a pose.
"Incredible!!" Many crew members looked on in admiration.
"Hahaha! I knew you'd like it!" Usopp said with a smile.
"Are you all right?" Bepo asked, looking at the crew, some with clothes damaged from the battle.
"Nothing serious..." Reiju spoke, lighting a cigarette.
"Well, what name did you put on the ship, Franky?" Luffy asked.
"I named this ship Super Sunny Go!" He declared, and Luffy nodded in satisfaction, not surprised by the name.
"That's great, now let's celebrate, someone call the others who are training to gather for a feast!" Luffy announced, and everyone started moving with the group's usual routine.
Soon, someone went to call the members who were in the training room. Hugo went to the store along with Hachi and picked up several kilos of food as Reiju requested, and as for the drinks, Zoro quickly volunteered to fetch the booze and drinks, it didn't take long for the deck to be crowded as they filled the place with all sorts of things they would use for the banquet, Uta continued to sing some songs while many clapped for her cheerfully.
The party started as usual, while many from the group laughed and played, telling some jokes, while others fought, as usual, not breaking the habit.
Luffy and the others started sharing everything that happened in Lobby, while they reported the battles. Usopp and Bepo were amazed at the level of fighting the negotiation had become, while they were even more shocked by the island's destruction.
"In the end, we showed the navy that we are not mere rookies and won 2 billion berries." Luffy announced.
"We're rich!" Nami shouted, without Luffy informing her that he had already put the money in the shop system.
"It's true... I hope to finish my fight against that vice admiral next time..." Zoro spoke, after all, he managed to win the encounter but left the fight to help Luffy in the end.
"I never imagined I could face admirals and vice admirals coming out unscathed in a fight..." Robin said, recalling her past where all she could do was run and hide.
"It was a good fight, but it will not be the last, we will face them soon..." Luffy commented and then stood up from the group. "Now I need to take care of something..." Luffy said as night began to fall on them.
He moved away with Akainu's den den mushi and called Bepo, who followed him before stopping in a secluded place to have a good conversation with the group that practically commanded the world.
To speak with this group, he had to have two things: first was their number, which was nowhere to be found and only the elite of the elite knew, second was a communicator that could contact them, after all, they had direct registers with the den den mushi of that room.
Luffy got their number for a few hundred million, but useless without the right den den mushi, and this communicator was much more expensive. However, Luffy saved a good deal of money by stealing Akainu's den den mushi, after all, only the admirals, Sengoku, and a small group had such a communicator.
He just sighed before lifting the snail and starting to dial the number while Bepo was quite nervous on the side after hearing Luffy's words.
Elsewhere, high above the sea where clouds were part of the place, a beautiful city began its night displaying its unique beauty with lights, the largest building of this place was the castle of power, where the world's power was centralized and in this castle, there was an open room where 5 men decided any decision that the government, the navy, and their forces should take.
And these men were finishing the meeting after everything that happened on this day, the 5 Elders were gathered, talking about all the information they received, still a bit dazed by the current strength of the Straw Hats and were discussing what decisions should be taken to end this emerging threat.
"We cannot do anything too drastic at the moment, a chance to destroy Whitebeard has arisen, Sengoku has faith that the entire navy force can destroy the most powerful pirate in the world," said Topman Warcury, the elder of justice.
"Even so, Whitebeard is old, his days are counted, we may lose a lot of force in this war as well..." Shepherd Ju Peter, the elder of agriculture spoke a bit dissatisfied.
"Old or not... This is an opportunity to end this cursed era made by that pirate and calm the sea, our enemies are getting stronger every day..." Marcus Mars, the elder of the environment tried to give reasons for his colleague to believe in the decision.
"The fight against Whitebeard is indisputable, we have Ace going to Impel Down, this war is inevitable, we also have a chance to catch Monkey D. Luffy according to Sengoku," Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, the elder of finance commented.
"Speaking of Dragon's son, the princess of Alabasta is a criminal now. We should demand her father's head," said Jaygarcia Saturn, the elder of science and defense.
"No, we cannot do that, not like this. But we certainly have to send a summons to speak with her father, after all, the girl is an heir and we cannot allow a pirate in that group to become a queen," Shepherd Ju Peter spoke.
"The level they are reaching... they are a great threat and perhaps the worst that has emerged in the great pirate era. Should we call our main forces?" Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro looked at his colleagues while clutching his sword.
"If we summon the 7 holy knights, our enemies will know our hidden strength. We have to wait for this war to become an opportunity to eliminate them without showing our main forces," said Marcus Mars.
"You know we are in a difficult situation, we cannot let this group cross into the new world, they would become an even greater threat, should we inform Im-Sama and ask for his advice?" Jaygarcia Saturn asked while everyone frowned at these words.
"We should not bother Im-Sama with such a small matter..." said Topman Warcury before continuing, "They may be powerful insects, but still insects..."
"Do not forget that he killed 2 Tenryuubitos and still became so strong that he could fight against 2 admirals. Even losing advantage with such strength, he still stood. A user of dual akuma no mi, knowledgeable of the six styles and hakis, even without stepping into the new world. We must eliminate him as soon as possible," Jaygarcia Saturn insisted on the threat of Luffy.
"I think we can catch him another way, after all, we can get many hostages..." Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro commented with a harsh tone.
Before anyone could respond to Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, at that moment, something unexpected happened. The Den Den Mushi on the table started to ring, causing the 5 Elders to look surprised by it, immediately knowing whose communicator it was.
"Akainu..." Topman Warcury frowned, confused.
"Let's see what the navy admiral wants..." said Jaygarcia Saturn.
"It's not him, it's someone else..." Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro said, seeing the future with observation haki.
"Regardless, let's see who dares to call us at this moment and how this person is speaking on Akainu's communicator..." Shepherd Ju Peter spoke, approaching as he pulled the den den mushi.
Katcha!
As soon as he picked it up, a silence emerged, the 5 Elders stayed silent, waiting for the voice on the other side and they were not disappointed, as the snail opened with an arrogant smile.
"Hello, so you are the 5 Elders?" The voice came from the other side, leaving the Elders a bit surprised and somber at the same time. After all, who could speak to them like this? Moreover, Luffy's voice was unknown to them, so they could not know.
"Who are you, and do you really know whom you're speaking to?" asked Shepherd Ju Peter, with a serious tone, while tightening the communicator in front of him.
"Ah, where are my manners... Let me introduce myself, I'm Monkey D. Luffy. You must know me, I believe," he spoke, keeping a smile as the 5 men frowned even more.
"Yes, the grandson of Garp, the one who caused the destruction of Enies Lobby." Topman Warcury spoke.
"I wouldn't say I was the cause of the destruction, it was more a... a consequence of a fight between admirals and a pirate, and I must say the fight was quite fun," Luffy laughed through the communicator.
"I can understand you took Akainu's den den mushi, but how did you get this number?!" Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro growled.
"Don't be so angry, I just came to talk, after all, we have some matters to discuss," Luffy said, and the conversation was just beginning.
