Chapter 432 - Announce our Journey to Wano to the world!
[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
New Word.

Luffy was sitting in the same chair as a month ago, looking straight ahead as part of his daily routine, supervising his fleet's training once more.
The open area was filled with monstrous, giant animals, even some gorillas wielding enormous swords, testing out the species he'd gathered from Mihawk's island. He had brought in giraffes the size of giants, allowing them to train with each other, as they constantly learned and quickly caught up with the regular animals. Some could already use haki, and soon they would surpass the dinosaurs, given that the intelligent gorillas had the potential to become far stronger than the other animals.
The battle was complete chaos, with animals moving around on all sides, mostly fighting against humans, who appeared tiny in comparison, while Luffy's fleet began using the six styles to fight; some could now even use haki.
Luffy had turned one month of training into a year and a half. Using the powers of the Moa Moa no Mi, he had significantly accelerated everyone's learning. Meanwhile, his main crew, along with the most powerful members of the fleet, were training directly with the dinosaurs, who had mastered haki and could quickly become a greater challenge than any on the other islands.
"Luffy." Luffy heard his brother's voice as he approached.
"Sabo...? Shouldn't you still be training in Skypea?" Luffy asked, watching him drop from the sky to land in front of him.
Sabo had mastered the most powerful six styles and trained with his mythical beasts over the past month. He had been training directly in Skypea with other Eikons, since Luffy kept their training hidden from the rest of the world, and Skypea was the only place where the Eikons could reveal themselves and fight one another.
Sabo needed to train his beast, so Luffy had sent him there, allowing him to battle most of his main crew. Even Lucy fought Sabo, who had transformed into Ramuh, and unexpectedly, Lucy emerged victorious. After all, she was immune to lightning and managed to defeat Sabo, even without her Joygirl transformation, which remained dormant.
Of course, Luffy tried to make her unleash her gear 5, but the girl started running from her brother after being repeatedly beaten by him, as Luffy attempted to force her transformation, though he never succeeded.
"I got a call from your father... we need to meet up now that the gathering of kingdoms will take place at Mary Geoise," Sabo said with a more serious tone.
"Let me guess... you guys invaded the holy city..." Luffy said as Sabo sighed.
"Yes... we need to gather information on the government because there are some concerning rumors there," Sabo said.
"If you're talking about the Empty Throne, it hasn't been unoccupied for these 800 years," Luffy said.
"..." Sabo blinked, trying to process what Luffy had just said so abruptly. He remained like that for a moment, while Luffy seemed focused on watching the chaotic battle unfolding before him, with the terrain breaking apart within his view. His gaze then returned to the paralyzed Sabo.
"Are you okay? Maybe you should stay a few more days to rest..." he commented, looking at his brother and slowly meeting his gaze.
"I'm sick!? You just told me something absurd, and I'm the sick one...?!" Sabo yelled, showing shark-like teeth as he shook Luffy with white eyes, while Luffy looked unfazed.
"Tell me, what you just said, is it true?! How do you know this, why didn't you tell me before!!" Sabo kept shaking Luffy, who swayed with the movement but maintained a calm expression.
"You didn't ask..." Luffy shrugged as Sabo grew even angrier, pushing him until he finally stopped.
"Have you finally finished with this hysteria?" Luffy asked, looking at him.
"You..." Sabo murmured in frustration, but held back. "Do you realize what you just told me... are you certain of it?" he asked, looking at him seriously.
"I'm telling the truth. There's someone the World Government keeps hidden, someone above the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders... the one who is the true king of the world and has controlled it since the Void Century... Imu." Luffy said with a serious tone.
"How do you know all of this... I mean, even Dragon wasn't certain about it, although he had some suspicions..." murmured Sabo, incredulous at Luffy's words.
"I can't say, but you should be careful in Mary Geoise..." Luffy replied, knowing that Sabo would go regardless. However, he couldn't reveal more, as he needed Sabo to head toward Lulusia, forcing the World Government to destroy the kingdom... where his plans would begin.
Sabo regained his usual composure, and they began to talk about other matters. It was in the middle of their conversation that Luffy's den den mushi rang.
"I'll wait for the others and start getting ready to leave, Luffy," Sabo informed him, and Luffy nodded.
"Alright... stay at least tonight. I'm sure Lucy will be happy to have one last party with her brother," Luffy said, and Sabo nodded with a smile before leaving, while Luffy answered the den den mushi.
"Boss... that bird is approaching again..." came Enel's voice.
"That guy just doesn't know when to quit..." Luffy muttered with a sigh.
"Should I kill him? I can do it in an instant," Enel offered, but Luffy shook his head.
"No... leave him to me... Until I give the order, he isn't to be harmed, no matter how annoying and persistent he is," Luffy instructed, ensuring Enel wouldn't kill him at any moment.
The den den mushi call ended, and Luffy sighed, scanning the space above the island before forming black wings on his back and blasting off like a rocket, leaving the island behind.
Morgans was once again trying to infiltrate the Straw Hat's territory, frustrated by his lack of success over the past few months while they maintained a low profile. Meanwhile, in Wano, two Yonkos were preparing to face the Straw Hats, yet no news had made it into the papers. Morgans was growing increasingly frustrated, eager to obtain some real information about them; after all, his newspapers were selling like never before, and the prospect of a Yonko war was unprecedented, anticipated for months.
Not even the meeting of kings at Mary Geoise garnered as much attention worldwide, with everyone's eyes set beyond the Red Line, waiting to see how this conflict would unfold.
But entering the territory was exceedingly difficult. Morgans had tried in numerous ways. First, he simply showed up, only to be expelled, told his presence couldn't be tolerated with so many spies already infiltrating the kingdoms. They didn't want their plans exposed to the world.
He wasn't the only one seeking information, and it was clear that the World Government was the most active, with two or three spies being caught daily, hoping one would slip past the Straw Hat's defenses.
After being expelled, there wasn't much Morgans could do, but he tried various approaches. He posed as a merchant on a commercial ship, only to be intercepted by members of Luffy's main crew upon arrival at the island. He attempted to infiltrate with a pirate ship seeking to join the fleet, only to be turned away, told that joining Luffy's fleet wasn't done that way.
Morgans even tried dressing as a woman, claiming to be Luffy's wife, only for Luffy himself to knock him so hard at the port that the journalist was sent flying to the horizon.
Now he was trying from the air, attempting to get closer without being detected. Spotting some explosions in the distance, he was about to head that way when suddenly, Monkey D. Luffy appeared in front of him, wings flapping to halt himself, generating a gust of wind in the air.
"What?! They already found me!!" Morgans exclaimed, fear flashing across his face as he found himself face-to-face with the Yonko, who stood there, calmly staring at him.
"You really think you can get close without anyone here detecting you, Morgans..." Luffy mocked, staring him down.
Morgans gulped, remembering the last punch he took from this guy—it had left him bedridden for days. He was fast, but this man was a monster no one could control.
"Don't look at me like that; I'm not going to hit you today, at least as long as you don't cross this line." Luffy began, while Morgans remained silent. Suddenly, Luffy's face broke into a grin.
"Anyway... Morgans... I want you to make a publication about me," Luffy said.
"A publication?!" Morgans was surprised, watching the Straw Hat pirate hovering in front of him.
"Yes... it's time to make a move... I want you to announce that in the coming weeks, we'll be heading to Wano," Luffy said.
"Really?!" Morgans was astonished, pulling out his notebook to jot things down.
"Exactly. I want Big Mom and Kaido to know I'm coming... and I also want the world to know that we're finally going to bring those guys down," Luffy said calmly.
"This is huge, a major scoop!!" Morgans exclaimed, excited.
"Whatever... can you do it?!" Luffy asked.
"Of course!! Is there anything else I need to know? Maybe something like you all went through rigorous training last month and are now ready to face one of the world's strongest forces, who've joined together to destroy the Straw Hats?! That sounds incredibly interesting!" he began to shout.
"That... wouldn't be wrong. We did go through some training... so, yes, you can say that. Just make sure Kaido and Big Mom know that we'll be setting out soon, and that they'll feel the wrath of the Straw Hats before they fall," Luffy said.
"That's it!! I'll put it on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!!" Morgans looked thrilled.
"One more thing. Can you publish this photo in the paper? I want the kid's grandfather to see her for the first time," Luffy said.
"This is..." Morgans murmured, looking at the photo.
"Shanks' daughter, the Red-Haired, and my wife," Luffy said. Morgans already knew Luffy was married to this woman, but he had never imagined such a connection.
"Incredible! I'll do exactly that!! These papers are going to sell like crazy." He was practically bouncing with excitement, while Luffy nodded and stepped closer.
"Alright, you can go now... goodbye." Luffy didn't have Shanks' contact, so he planned to tell the entire world. Morgans suddenly felt a hard kick on his backside, sending him flying out as Luffy no longer needed him.
"Hope he doesn't bother me again today..." Luffy shrugged, his gaze returning to the battles below.
"Now, let's go see how the training's going..." Luffy said, moving closer as he heard explosions in the distance.
