[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

New Word.

...

...

"How are you?" Luffy took a few calm steps as he entered a room with a woman with green hair lying on the bed.

"I'm fine..." Monet responded cautiously while looking at him. "You showed up at the last moment after I lost consciousness..." She commented, and Luffy nodded.

"I didn't arrive earlier, but I got there in time to take down that guy..." Luffy replied calmly.

"Thank you..." she said.

"It was nothing, Lami took care of you." Luffy spoke as he touched her face, and she looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes.

They ended up talking for a bit, and soon Luffy left the place. He went to check on his companion and discuss Sugar's fate. Luffy was quite adamant about not leaving her unsupervised, but she could still live an ordinary life as long as she continued wearing chains to nullify her powers.

In any case, after leaving the place, Luffy headed to one of the islands where everyone was being gathered at that moment. After all, he was about to set his plans in motion. The Chinjao family had also arrived, so all forces were assembled.

From his former captains: Hancock, Foxy, Bellamy, Bartolomeo, Wyper, Page-One, Greg, Dorry, and Brogy. These were the captains with combat ships, while the other members who trained in Skypiea for one year were part of the espionage division of the current Baroque Works. Lola was a member as a scientist, not involved in fighting, but was responsible for creating the special metal to replenish the forces of all allied nations and Luffy's plans.

Now, with this new recruitment, Luffy had attack captains such as: Ideo, Cavendish, Kyros, Tesoro, Orlumbus, Hajrudin, Leo, Sai, and other minor captains.

There were 20 pirate captains in total. It may not be as many as Whitebeard's over 40, but it was still enough to take on that fleet if the old man were still alive.

Viola was his ally from Dressrosa, not an attack captain, the same could be said of her father, as they would remain taking care of Dressrosa. But Kyros would join the fight since his daughter was still an official member with great power, and he wanted to keep looking after her.

Elizabello II was also an ally who would look after the Kingdom of Prodence as Luffy's ally. Some ships had arrived, but some, like Hajrudin's companions, had not, as they had forgotten about his existence due to Sugar. During this time, Luffy had also convinced Leo, one of Dressrosa's fairies, to join the fight with him.

He was about to fight in Wano and could have Inuarashi and Nekomamushi in his crew once he won the war and liberated Wano.

He looked at everyone there, along with their crews watching him from atop a rock while his main crew observed their captain dealing with the maritime force of over 20,000 pirates that were part of his fleet.

"People, champions of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet," Luffy began, his voice easily reaching everyone.

"I'm here to say that if you're here, you trust my vision of the world and what I seek for the sea, because this is a path of no return for everyone present. From now on, our fight won't just be against pirates or the navy, but the government will see us as a real threat, perhaps greater than the Yonkous themselves. And do you know why?" Luffy spoke, breaking into a smile.

"Because they fear us," he said as everyone looked at him, dozens of thousands of eyes staring at him, trying to etch each of his words into their minds during this speech. Luffy was making history because today would be the first time the world would see his fleet in its entirety.

After the events a year ago, he was known as the Fifth Emperor, the Emperor without territory and without a fleet. However, what they couldn't imagine was that since the moment he gained consciousness in that barrel in East Blue, Luffy had been working swiftly to pave his way to the top of this world. He had two powerful Devil Fruits along with his Haki, yet he knew he couldn't do everything alone and had been seeking as many key allies as possible.

'In the end... Everything I've been working on in this world since I regained my memories almost two years ago, this is my result...' Luffy remarked as he looked at the fleet. This was the fruit of his labor, but it was only the beginning.

"And from this day forward, we will shake the New World and destroy its entire power pyramid. But that's not enough. We will find the One Piece, but even that's not enough. We will shake the whole world, and even if everyone turns against us, we will stand firm and fight tooth and nail to prove that we are unstoppable!!" Luffy exclaimed with a wide grin.

"OHHHH!!!" The crowd was captivated by his charisma, despite the simplicity of his speech. Thousands of minds imagined themselves being feared by the entire world.

"Anyway, let's start the training. I hope you're ready. Those who are already part of the crew will go to the island of dinosaurs to train with them. My companions will help you in the training. Those who are joining now can stay here—this is the island of animals, and we will begin your training immediately." He spoke as the two groups separated, with Zoro, Franky, Jimbei, and Yamato overseeing the training of the older members while Luffy stayed to train the newcomers in his own way.

He then began explaining how he would do it, and everyone's eyes shone with anticipation as various animals were summoned from the forest, approaching with more fear of Luffy than genuine intent to fight the newcomers.

Many who didn't know his methods were eager to undergo training under one of the most powerful pirate crews in the world. However, reality was different, as all of them now found themselves sprawled on the ground.

Thousands of bodies lay scattered on the ground in that training area, with groans and the cracking of bones audible as the animals retreated. Even the strongest members, capable of handling one of those beasts using Haki, were overwhelmed by multiple opponents, losing the fights and getting beaten, as was the case with Tesoro and Chinjao, who, despite their strength, were now lying buried in the ground.

Luffy stood there, arms crossed and one eyebrow raised, watching the entire scene. Various animals had charged at them from the forest, and the confidence they had before was lost as they saw the enormous creatures not wasting a moment to start thrashing thousands of people.

Luffy snorted. "It's the first day, and you're all on the ground?" He asked with a dissatisfied look, staring at all the men and women who dared to enter his training.

"You can go... What a disappointment..." Luffy spoke to the animals, who awaited his orders. They all nodded and returned to the forest.

"You can't be serious," the men in front of him muttered as they heard his words, exhausted and defeated.

"Of course I'm serious," Luffy replied firmly. "It's no accident that you're part of this crew, but it's disappointing to see that we haven't even started our real training yet. We were just warming up..." Luffy continued.

"Warming up... how can you be so ruthless...?" Baccarat, lying on the ground, murmured from the other side, not understanding how he could be so harsh, even with her, who was his lover.

Meanwhile, nearby, Vivi was holding Sinbad in her arms, observing the commotion. She merely sighed as her son shifted in her embrace, raising his hands as if reaching for his father, laughing at Luffy's words despite not comprehending them.

"He's not going to stop, is he?" Vivi commented, recalling how demanding Luffy had been, even with her. The first days on the ship were horrible. He expected her to grow stronger, but in his own way, and he was not the knight she had imagined. He was a harsh man who only sought satisfactory results in training.

"Well, it reminds me of the old days... we hardly got any rest either..." Nojiko said, approaching Vivi while looking at the boy in her arms.

"It's true... Luffy's brother, that Sabo, also went for training with the other members on the dinosaur island... at least he doesn't have Luffy as his trainer," Vivi observed as she watched Nojiko running her fingers through her son's hair.

"Are you thinking your son will be like mine?" Vivi asked with a playful tone.

"A little, but my hair is darker..." Nojiko commented with a smile.

"And aren't you planning to have one?" Vivi inquired.

"Not now... I'm scared..." Nojiko murmured, and Vivi nodded. She had been scared too when she got pregnant, worrying whether her boy would be safe, but the moment she saw him, she fell in love with her son and didn't regret giving birth. She just wanted to protect him from that moment on for the rest of her life, or at least until he could take care of himself like his father.

"Well..." Luffy began to speak again, ignoring the protesting looks and cries for mercy. He was always like this when starting training, but since it was their first day, he would give them a chance to breathe.

"You're dismissed for today, so rest up... Tomorrow, we'll resume training, and you'd better be ready," Luffy said as he walked back to his women.

"Call Reiju to bathe them in recovery flames. I'm going back to Dressrosa; this training ended up being a waste of time," Luffy instructed.

"You should go easier on them, Luffy..." Nojiko murmured.

"It's better for them to take a beating here than to die on the battlefield," Luffy replied, not yielding on his special method. His son wanted to be held, but Luffy just ruffled his hair. "Not now, Sinbad. Daddy needs to handle a lot of things on his own," he said and turned to his wives.

"Anyway, I'm going to see my prisoner now. Goodbye," Luffy stated before disappearing, leaving the girls to sigh before calling Reiju on the Den Den Mushi, surprised that she already had to help 10,000 beaten people.

Luffy landed in his current base area with a chair and made his way towards Fujitora. While walking in that corridor, he was surprised by a rebellious girl.

"You!! Get me out of here!! I don't want to be here anymore!!" Luffy looked at Sugar in one of the cells.

"Sugar..." Luffy commented calmly.

"You're Monkey D. Luffy! Please, get me out of here!" She exclaimed, and Luffy knew how deceitful she was and shook his head.

"I'll deal with you later. Even with a childlike appearance, you're over 20 years old, so don't try to fool me with some act. I'll see you later," Luffy completely ignored her and continued on to the next cells.

Lami had left her there after getting annoyed with the girl, which was why Luffy had been surprised to see her.

Fujitora was keeping his breathing controlled, seeming to be meditating when Luffy appeared in front of him. He merely lifted his head slightly, as if looking into Luffy's eyes, despite being blind.

"Hello, Fujitora... How about we step outside and have a chat? After all, Dressrosa was your home for a while," Luffy said as he unlocked the cell.
