Dawn Island, East Blue

"More drinks over here!!" "Luffy's famous!!" "Ace and Luffy are both crazy!!" "Ahh, my head..."

Inside 'Partys Bar' in 'Foosha Village', countless people were drinking and partying all over the fact that Luffy had gotten a new bounty. There was only one person who wasn't happy.

*BAM*

"SHUT UP, YOU DAMN IDIOTS!! WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT A PIRATE COMING FROM OUR VILLAGE?!!" An old man shouted at everyone in anger after bursting through the doors to the bar, making everyone pause for a second and look at him.

"MAYOR!!!" "Welcome to the party, Mayor!!" "Come on, your first drink is on us!!"

*SIGH*

Mayor Woodslap just sighed and walked over to the bar with a resigned expression on his face and sat down.

"Here you go, Mayor." Woodslap looked up to see Mainko looking at him with a kind smile handing him a drink that just made him sigh again before taking a long swig of it.

*SIGH* *GULP* GULP* *GULP*

"Why the hell are these idiots so happy about that id ruining our town's reputation?.." He muttered to himself, making Mainko laugh.

"Hahaha, it's because they're happy for him. I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy for him when I looked at his bounty poster. He looks so happy chasing his dream I just can't help it." Makino said as she pulled out a bounty poster that showed Luffy smiling brightly while wearing his signature straw hat.

Mayor Woodslap glanced over and sighed again when he saw the poster.

*SIGH*

"His dream, huh?... Seems more like fate to me..."

Shimotsuki Village, East Blue

"Sensei, Sensei!! Is it true 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro trained at this dojo?!" "Did he train here?!" "I wanna learn Three-Sword Style!!" "I wanna be a pirate!!"

A man with black hair tied back in a long ponytail, wearing glasses with circular frames and a gray yukata with a beige haori over it was being surrounded by his students who were all demanding to know if the famous 'Pirate Hunter' was trained by him.

Shimotsuki Koushirou was trying his best to calm down the kids, but it seemed like they would only do so after he answered their questions.

"Alright, calm down. I can't answer your question if you keep yelling over me, can I?" He said in a calm voice that somehow all of the children heard and quieted down almost immediately, making the man sweat-drop.

'Why can't they listen to me this well normally?' He thought to himself before he shook his head.

"Yes, that's right. I trained Roronoa Zoro since he was a child." He explained before being completely taken off guard when the children started screaming again even louder.

*SIGH*

He just let out a sigh of resignation, before he turned to the sea with a smile on his face.

'You're getting closer and closer to achieving your and Kuina's dream, Zoro. As long as you value your swordsmanship, it doesn't matter if you become a pirate or not.'

Gecko Islands, Grand Line

In the front yard of a massive mansion, a young girl with blonde in a simple white dress could be seen sitting at a table and reading a massive book with a focused expression.

"Kaya!!" "Kaya, it's the Captain!!" "Kaya, you won't believe what happened!!"

That focused expression turned to a soft smile when she heard the shouting voices of three boys. She turned to see them running towards her with a paper from the 'News Coo' as well as some bounty posters.

"What's got you three all excited?" She asked the trio with a kind smile as they ran through her open gate and up to her table. The boy with spikey purple hair that covered his eyes answered her with a beaming smile.

"It's the Captain!! He and his friends did something cool again!!" Ninjin explained as he handed her the bounty poster. She looked at it with a surprised smile as he grabbed it.

"Wow. 75,000,000 berries? That's a lot!!" She said before her surprised smile turned soft when she saw the smirk on his face.

"I know right!! It's crazy!!" Piiman, the boy with dark hair wearing a pepper-shaped hat, said in excitement, making the other two nod their heads vigorously.

"I bet Captain's gotten a lot stronger!!" Tamanegi, A boy who has straight brown hair with a tuft sticking up at the top, making his head reminiscent of an onion, and wearing glasses, said as he clenched his fists and started shadow boxing.

"He seems like he's having fun." Kaya thought out loud before she gained a determined glint in her eye.

'I have to do my best too!! I'll be a doctor by the time Usopp comes back so I can heal all of his wounds!!'

Conomi Islands, East Blue

"Why the hell is that her picture!!"

Nojiko raised an eyebrow when she heard Genzo shouting from inside the building. She shrugged her shoulders and opened the door, only to sweat-drop at the sight she saw.

There was Genzo, essentially her and Nami's adoptive father, staring at the wall with an enraged expression as he shook his head. The thing was that the wall had a massive picture of Nami in a bikini with her 'Perfected Clima-Tact' resting on her shoulder, smiling at the camera.

"How the hell could they make that her picture?! I'm going to call the Marines and complain!!" Genzo shouted out before he turned to see Nojiko staring at him in amusement.

"Nojiko, can you believe this? The Marines made this Nami's bounty poster!! Her head is worth 50,000,000 berries and the poster is all over the world by now!!" He shouted making the blue-haired woman laugh.

"Hahahaha, I guess you don't hate it that much. You did cover the entire wall with it." Nojiko pointed out, making the man blush in embarrassment. Before he could say some dumb excuse, Nojiko's smile turned soft as she looked at the photo.

"She looks happy. I'm glad she's having fun." She said simply before turning to Genzo, who just sighed.

*SIGH*

"At least she's still smiling," Genzo said.

'You better keep her safe, boy'

On the Open Sea of the East Blue

"Boss!! You gotta come see this!!" 

*Tsk*

"Those damn idiots..." Chef Zeff mumbled to himself after clicking his tongue when he heard Patty shout for him. He looked over to his right before turning around and walking away from the grill.

"Oi, Carne. Take over for me." He shouted as he grabbed a towel and wiped his hands. He walked through the door to the restaurant to see all of his workers gathered around Patty, who looked up when he started walking over.

"Boss, you have got to see this. It's crazy!!" The man with massive forearms told his boss who just scoffed as he walked at them. 

*SCOFF*

"What the hell are you idiots doing? Go back to work!!" He shouted out making almost all of the workers freeze and stand up straight.

"YES, CHEF!!!"

*SNORT*

He snorted in amusement as he watched the group sprint back into the kitchen. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Patty was still there with a bounty poster in his hand.

Zeff held his hand out and Patty handed it over with a grin before walking back into the kitchen as well. He couldn't help but grin when he saw Sanji with a cocky smirk on his face, marines knocked out around him, and white flames covering both of his feet.

"140,000,000, huh? Not bad, kid."

Marineford, Grand Line

"GARP!!! WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH YOUR FAMILY?!!"

*CRUNCH*

Garp scowled as he crunched down on his rice cracker when he heard Sengoku's yelling. He was just in his office, minding his own business since that damn goat says he "Always makes things worse so you can punch the hell out of it", and now he's getting yelled at when he didn't do anything?!

"I swear to god, if this dumbass goat doesn't stop interrupting me while I'm eating my rice crackers, I'm gonna shove a 'Galaxy Impact' up his ass…" Garp muttered as he put his rice crackers back into his secret spot on his desk.

'Can't have Bogard finding them or else he'll eat them and tell me with a scowl he didn't when I ask him.' Garp thought to himself as he wiped his hands off.

*CRASH*

Garp stood up, sending his chair crashing into the ground. He looked at the door to his office before looking at the wall to the left. He narrowed his eyes and nodded to himself before taking strong steps straight toward the wall.

*BOOOOM*

.

.

"God damn it, what the hell is this kid doing?…" Sengoku muttered to himself as he grabbed his hair in stress. He suddenly stood up with a shocked look on his face.

"Crocodile got beaten?!" Sengoku shouted in surprise before he saw the pirate who beat him making his surprise turn to outrage and anger.

"GARP, WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH YOUR FAMILY?!!"

After a few seconds of silent seething, Sengoku's eyebrow twitched when using his 'Advanced Observation Haki', he sensed what his old friend was about to do.

*BOOOOM*

"What the hell do you want, Sengoku?" Garp said as he walked through the hole he just made in the wall between their offices.

*SIGH*

Sengoku just let out a sigh of resignation as he rubbed his temples. He glanced at the hole before shaking his head.

*CRUNCH*

'One problem at a time.' He thought to himself while trying to stay calm as he watched Garp sit down on the couch in his office, take out his rice crackers, and eat them with a smile.

The sight made him clench his teeth in anger.

"First, your grandson, Monkey D. Luffy, beat Crocodile," Sengoku said simply. His face darkened when Garp just laughed.

"Bwahahaha!! That's my grandson!!"

*BOOM* "OWW!!"

Garp glared at Sengoku as he held the large, steaming, red bump on the top of his head. The Fleet Admiral was busy trying his best to calm his anger, but it wasn't easy with all of the crumbs falling onto his couch.

"Take this seriously!! Your grandson caused one of the 'Seven Warlords' to get arrested. This might mess up the balance we have put so much work to create!!" Sengoku shouted at the Marine Hero, who completely disregarded what his boss said as he dug for gold with his pinkie.

"It's just a pirate fighting another pirate, who cares?" Garp said in a bored tone as he struck gold on the right mine.

*FLICK*

"Don't flick your boogers at me, you asshole!! I'm your boss, you know?!! And you know damn well the entire world cares!! Those 5 old guys are on my ass for letting one of the 'Warlords' get taken down!!!" Sengoku shouted in anger after punching his desk, wondering if it should've been Garp's head again.

*SIGH*

Garp let out an annoyed sigh when he heard that before he became serious, making Sengoku thank the Buddha he could turn into.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Garp asked with a raised eyebrow as both of them knew very well Garp wasn't going to go beat up his grandson and put him in 'Imprl Down'.

*SIGH*

Sengoku just sighed in response when he saw that look.

"Well, we can't do anything now. The 'Five Elders' ordered Kuzan to meet up with the CP0 agents that are stationed at 'Water 7'." Sengoku said neutrally as he observed his friend's expression.

Garp's face was covered by shadows for a moment before he smiled wide.

"Then my student and those other dumbasses are about to have a rough day on the job," Garp said with a grin as he walked out of Sengoku's office, making the man look at him with a raised eyebrow before shrugging.

"If they manage to escape CP0 and an Admiral, we can't beat them without two Admirals. But how the hell can we manage to spare two Admirals with everything else going on in the world!!"

As Garp left Sengoku's office, his confident smile turned to a pensive frown. After a few seconds of debating, he shrugged and decided to leave it to fate.

'Don't fall too early, Luffy.'

Unknown Island, New World

*GULP* *GULP* *GULP*

"Ahh, that's the good shit right there.." Shanks muttered as he gulped down whatever was left in a bottle of sake.

*FLICK*

"OWW!! What the hell, Beck?!" Shanks shouted in outrage as he turned to his Vice-Captain, who just flicked the back of his head. Benn Beckman just raised an eyebrow at his Captain.

"C'mon, how haven't you noticed yet? You would've noticed him at least ten minutes before he got here if you weren't so damn hungover." Benn asked then playfully mocked Shanks, making the red-haired man shake his head a bit to help sober him up a bit.

When he did, he immediately whipped his head towards the tree line. Just a couple of seconds after he did, one of his crew mates he had stayed at the coast ran through the trees.

*PANT* *PANT* *PANT*

The man dropped to his hands and knees while he tried to say what he came to say, but could only try to catch his breath.

"Over here!!" The man heard someone to his right and when he turned that direction, a cup of water was right in his face. He eagerly took it with a thankful expression.

*GULP* *GULP* *GULP*

The man drank as much water as he could before relaying his message.

"Boss!! It's 'Hawkeye', he's on the island!!" before the man could say another word, he saw a shadow block out the sun behind him.

He was terrified when he turned around and saw the World's Strongest Swordsman right behind him, not even sparing a glance at him.

Shanks smirked when he saw his old rival as his crew mate sped out of the way.

"Yo, 'Hawkeye', I'm not feeling the best today, maybe we reschedule?" Shanks said with a grin that said he wanted the exact opposite as he grabbed the hilt of his saber named 'Gryphon'.

*SCOFF*

"Let's wait until after I tell you what I came here for to have our duel." Mihawk said and scoffed as he felt his 'Yoru' hum in excitement at the coming fight.

He grabbed the bounty poster that brought him here and handed it to Shanks.

Shanks had a massive smile on his face when he saw the picture of a grown-up Luffy with his straw hat on his head, smiling brightly in the photo.

"Dahahaha!! I see!! You've finally made it, Luffy!!" Shanks shouted out with a smile before he looked at Mihawk with a strong fighting intent that made the man grin.

It also gave his crew the signal to get the hell out or get caught in their fight.

'Luffy, you've got a hard path ahead of you, but I think you wouldn't want it any other way.' Shanks thought to himself as he charged at Mihawk while covering his blade in 'Advanced Conqueror's Haki'.

Mihawk did the same as he swung his 'Yoru' straight down to counter Shanks' attack that was sweeping upwards.

"Divine One-Sword Style: Divine Departure!!!"

*BOOOOOOM!!!*

Royal Palace, Dressrosa, New World

"Law joined the kid who beat that sandy bastard? Even if I can say I'd beat Crocodile in a fight every time, that didn't mean he was weak. How annoying, this will make it much harder." Doflamingo shouted out as he gripped the newest paper from the 'News Coo'.

The paper made the 'Straw Hat Pirates' out to be some kind of heroic pirate, saving the country and the princess of 'Alabasta' from the evil pirate and all of that bullshit, but Doflamingo wouldn't buy it. Or at least, he knew that wasn't the full story.

Doflamingo narrowed his eyes at Law's bounty poster and clicked his teeth in annoyance.

*Tsk*

"You think you're hot shit with a bounty of 150,000,000? You're an ant. You found two minks to play doctor with you? No, even if they only have 5,000 berries on their head, this reindeer isn't just some pet. This polar bear mink is worth 100,000,000 berries though, so they must've done something to piss the Marines off." The Warlord said in disdain before he scoffed and turned to look at the massive man standing next to him.

*SCOFF*

"Pica, go tell Violet I need her to get information for me." He said making the massive man nod.

"Leave it to me, Doffy!!" The huge man said in a hilariously, high-pitched voice before he sunk into the stone floor.

'Now, let's see if 'Straw Hat' will kill Bellamy or not. I told him not to interfere, but that idiot doesn't know his left from his right.' The Warlord thought to himself before breaking out in a laugh.

"Fuffuffuffu!! You can't get away from me, Law!!"

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island, New World

"Mama, have you seen this new rookie?" A man wearing a long, yellow coat and a large, orange, and red striped hat has rainbow-colored lollipops along its rim said as he looked at the massive woman in front of him.

If one looked closely, you could see the man had a drop of nervous sweat on his forehead, even though he was talking with his mother.

No one could blame him though, as his mother was about twenty-nine feet tall, had a monstrous physique, and looked very pissed off. She was wearing a large pink, bicorn hat with a jolly roger on the front of it, and a pink dress with red polka dots and white ruffles.

*DRIP* *DRIP* *TSSS* *TSSS*

A couple of drops of droll dropped from the massive woman's mouth and when they hit the floor, they made a burning sound.

The smaller man flinched when the huge woman glared down at him.

"Why the hell should I care about some weakling like this?! I'm Big Mom!! Let those brats come!!"

.

Onigashima, Wano Country, New World

In a dark room deep in the heart of an island, surrounded by raging waters and bordered by massive mountains so that the only way to enter is through the port, a massive man over twenty-three feet tall was drowning himself in alcohol.

*GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* 

"Ahh!!" The massive man with massive horns coming out the sides of his head and a blue-purple, feathered, sleeveless overcoat draped on his shoulders wiped his mouth after finishing his drink.

He looked over at the three blood stains, one on the floor and the other two on the walls, and snorted in amusement.

*SNORT*

After finding the fact that he crushed his subordinates into paste amusing, he looked down at the 'News Coo' and bounty posters they brought to him before they pissed him off for being too quiet.

He grinned when he saw the paper saying how 'Straw Hat' Luffy beat 'Desert King', Sir Crocodile. His grin grew into a smile as he glanced over the bounty posters and ended up on Luffy's poster. He picked it up off of the ground and started laughing.

"Worororo!! 'Red-Haired' passed on Roger's hat to this brat?!" The man shouted out to no one before he grabbed his backup drink and started chugging it.

*GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* 

"Ahh!! That's damn good!!" He said before wiping his mouth and looking to his right at a man in a dark, form-fitting leather uniform that bore no skin. Covering his head and neck area is a full-faced leather mask. Most interestingly was the black wings and active flames on his back.

"King, let go break some shit!!"

.

Open Sea of the New World

"Oi, Pops, take a look at this." 

A massive man almost 22 feet tall with a crescent-shaped mustache, looked down at his 'first division commander' as well as one of his precious sons as he was handed a bounty poster. The huge man raised an eyebrow when he glanced at the poster before looking back down at the one who handed it to him.

"Marco, why the hell should I care about this kid?" Edward Newgate, the strongest man alive, asked his son who had been with him for many years. The now-named Marco grinned at the question.

"Pops, that's Ace's little brother he was always talking about. He just beat the Crocodile Warlord guy who tried to come after you a while ago." Marco explained, making Whitebeard look at the bounty poster in a new light before laughing loudly when he heard the end of the explanation.

"Gurararara!! I see, I remember now. He beat the sand brat?" Whitebeard said in amusement. He could remember all of the stories Ace had told them about his little brother Luffy, the kid's crazy strength since they were both young and how reckless the kid was. What stuck out to the 'Emperor' was...

'This kid is wearing Roger's straw hat and if Ace was right, he also is the current wielder of Roger's cutlass, 'Ace'.' Whitebeard thought to himself as he remembered the red-haired brat saying he "Gave it to the leader of the next era" when he asked where the straw hat had ended up.

*SIGH*

Whitebeard let out a sigh as he looked out at the open sea.

'The tides of the sea are flowing and no one can stop it now. Ace, you better get back here before it starts...'

Water Seven, Grand Line

Inside of a place called 'Blueno's Bar' that was normally full of people and constantly filled with noise, there were only six people inside including the bartender. The only difference from regular customers was how all of them except for the bartender were wearing elaborate masks and white suits.

Kuzan glanced around and saw a tall, lanky agent with a light-colored mask with dark streaks running down its right side.

A tall, slim man who has a light-colored mask with round eyes, a cylindrical mouthpiece that sticks out, a high hat, and a long holding stick that he grasps with both hands in front of himself.

A man wearing a white bowler hat, a dark purple and blue polka-dotted scarf, a white long coat, with a mask that seemed more likely to be white make-up than a mask.

A man with a long, square nose wearing an all-white suit, along with a top hat and a yellow tie wearing a tribal mask with a long beard as well as a protruding shape that fits around his nose.

The Admiral finally stopped on the man wearing a blue-white suit with a white coat draped over his shoulders wearing a simple mask that covers the top half of his face, with markings that curve beneath the eyes.

Kuzan knew all of these guys, but he knew for certain that the agent he was looking at now was Rob Lucci, known as the 'Massacre Weapon' within the ranks of 'Cipher Pol'. Before the Admiral could speak up, the man he was looking at did first.

"I'll fight 'Straw Hat'." Kuzan raised an eyebrow at the man the masked man. He knew the guy was strong enough to give even him a bit of a headache if he didn't want to freeze the entire island...

'But if you were enough to beat him, I wouldn't be here.' Kuzan thought to himself, not that he said that out loud.

Cats are very scary when they get mad.

"You deal with the 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro, I know he's only got a 170,000,000 bounty, but that's just because the higher-ups don't want the world to know their strength. I know for certain that Roronoa can use 'Advanced Armament Haki' as well as his captain. I'm dealing with 'Straw Hat' alone. I have a few things I'm curious about." Kuzan ordered before continuing so Lucci wouldn't have the chance to get more pissed off.

"By the way, where's Spandam? Wasn't he supposed to be the leader of you all?" Kuzan asked as he glanced around, noticing all of the agents either stared down at their drinks or up at the ceiling.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

"HMLP MHEEE!!!"

Kuzan deadpanned at the muffled screaming coming from the closet and the banging on the door to said closet.

*SIGH*

The Admiral just sighed before turning around when he saw how all of the agent's faces turned sour when they heard that before turning around, and throwing a wave over his shoulder as he walked out of the bar.

"I'm gonna go take a nap. Come find me when they are about to get here. I know 'Straw Hat' Luffy only has a 300,000,000 bounty, but I make it a habit not to underestimate anyone with 'Monkey D.' in their name."
