Chapter 339 - The New Era is Coming! 01 (Sabaody).

Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Sabaody, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

"Boss Buggy!! What are we going to do now with the transmitter...?" One of the prisoners spoke to Buggy as their ships sailed among the other 20 ships heading out of Marineford. The fleet had been larger when it arrived at Marineford, but due to the destruction of many ships by the Pacifistas, a little more than half were destroyed.

Buggy looked at his hand at this moment, still holding the den den mushi, frowning about what to do with that thing. He immediately jumped up, ran to the side of the ship, and threw it into the water, with the den den mushi making a face. With no choice, the connection between the snail and the screens that had broadcast the war around the world was cut off, as the snail began to swim away after having worked the entire time.

People around the world saw their screens go dark, looking hypnotized. It wasn't known at which moment, but everything around these people seemed to disappear as they focused solely on what they had been witnessing. Sabaody was in chaos; Luffy's explosive punch had impacted all the nearby islands with a blast of wind and pressure. Everyone was hit, but still, all the spectators kept their eyes glued to the screen after recovering from that wind.

"The war is over..." murmured a reporter... he hadn't been writing anything since the elder appeared in the war.

"The navy lost..." another murmured in silence.

"Ace of Fire Fists is free... Whitebeard is alive, Marineford is destroyed... the navy lost countless soldiers, far more than the fleet of Whitebeard's pirate ships... The Straw Hats entered the midst of the war, dominated the entire war and left without losing a single member..." People continued to talk among the crowd...

"How... how could this have happened..." someone seemed on the verge of despair, murmured.

"I don't believe this! This must be a nightmare!!" someone exclaimed, denying reality.

"They destroyed the navy..." a reporter began to write while trembling.

"Did you see... Straw Hat didn't kill anyone but a Tenryuubito at the beginning... he killed one of the Five Elders..." a citizen trembled remembering it.

"This is madness... Kaido and even Monkey D. Dragon were there!"

"What kind of war was this!"

"Amazing!!! I've never seen anything like this in my life!!" some people seemed quite excited by the fight.

"Did you see?! The Straw Hats changed the whole war!!" a reporter seemed quite excited.

"Look up!! The violet comet is still cutting across the sky!!" someone pointed to the open sky among the huge trees of Sabaody.

"He sent the Gorosei there?! How far does his attack reach to paint the sky that way." another person spoke with concern.

"He must be a god! No human should have that power!" another accused.

"Does this mean he's stronger than Whitebeard? Did you see how he hit Kaido?!" another person exclaimed.

"This is going to be incredible... I'm putting this in my kingdom's newspaper! If my company had the reach that Morgans News... had, it would be so interesting..." another reporter spoke.

"Monkey D. Luffy fought against Vice Admirals, Admirals, Garp, Sengoku, Shichibukai, Yonko, and even a Gorosei... He's incredible!!!" a man shouted excitedly.

"Hey, don't say those things openly!! You'll be hunted by the government if those agents over there hear you!" another person warned while pointing to the men lying on the ground knocked down by Rayleigh.

"Hahahaha!!! I saw the birth of a Yonkou!! Monkey D. Luffy is definitely an Emperor of the Sea!" another exclaimed.

"Did you see how powerful his crew is?! Most have mystical beasts and they even have 2 logias... this is madness!!"

"Yes, he will be the king of pirates!! No doubt about that!!!" another exclaimed.

"This era belongs to the Straw Hat crew!"

"What can the government do about this?!" another asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious they can't do anything... They've already tried at Enies Lobby... Now at Marineford, they filled the bay with mystical beasts... You saw... nothing can stop them..." someone seemed very optimistic about the Straw Hats.

"Don't forget there are more Gorosei! I once heard there were five of them, so there are four more in Mariejois... did they join to melt them?" Another asked.

Amidst the crowd screaming things in both despair and disbelief or even excitement and elation, there was no doubt that people had probably watched the most powerful war they would ever see in their lives; they couldn't believe anything could surpass it.

People were running to the den den mushi to inform their communication companies, others fell to their knees losing their footing, while others cried and ran to their homes.

The entire island of Sabaody was talking about the events, but everyone was unable to imagine which direction the world was starting to take at this moment. Whitebeard might have survived, but from today, a new protagonist had emerged in the seas.

"..." An old man took a sip from his bottle atop a tree, Rayleigh had made a great number of faces while watching the entire broadcast, never imagining seeing so many things done by that boy. "That boy... his awakening was done much earlier than he could have... what happened..." Rayleigh still remembered Luffy's punches on the Gorosei, which made them travel to the sky until he lost sight of them... Rayleigh was wondering just how high he went to generate that comet in the sky.

"I don't know what happened to you... but surely you would even make my younger self feel scared..." Rayleigh didn't know how powerful one must be to simply throw a punch that makes the entire sea sink just with the pressure of a punch being fired in the opposite direction, it was quite frightening and he had never encountered such a monster in the sea, not even his captain had that capability. "And to think we were so weak compared to the new generations... Hahahaha." Rayleigh had to laugh.

"That breaks all the rules of the world... but also, it shows that this is temporary... now my question is... can you reach that level of power... You and your sister... can you take this world out of the destruction that will come to it?" He murmured, but with a glimmer of hope for the future, as he drank more from his bottle.

"Hey... are you okay?!!" Someone asked a person who was looking down while their body seemed to be convulsing.

"I... I..." The person exclaimed until their head lifted up while everyone around looked at their strange behavior.

"I... feel like my life was worth living after today!" He spoke, then a burst of light emerged, not just from the eyes, but from the entire body, suddenly everyone in Sabaody saw a flash of light, almost believing that Kizaru himself was there, as an explosion occurred on the entire island.

"LUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYYYY-SEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPAAAIIIIIII!!!!!!" Bartolomeo exclaimed with his glow reaching the maximum power of a fan seeing his idol reach his peak.

"That's a strong glow... better close the windows." Shakky said as she pulled the curtain protecting her bar from Bartolomeo's fan glow, she turned back to look at her guests there.

"Hooray!! Hooray!!!" Camie exclaimed joyfully clapping her hands without seeming to have really understood what she had just seen, but was celebrating that Luffy had managed to escape after rescuing his brother.

Meanwhile, Pappag, beside Camie, lay lifeless on the sofa in the bar, as if everything he had seen was beyond human comprehension.

Shakky sighed, understanding very well what he was feeling. They had caught a small screen hacking the broadcast from the main square and watched in the bar alone, then saw every detail of the battle while Buggy filmed it all.

She never imagined being so amazed by this war. "It seems the straw hat boy has become the main protagonist in this event... I wonder what his achievements will be in the future..." She murmured, waiting to see what the future held for the young rising pirate.

"I swear I will kill him!!" Elsewhere, a girl was having a rage attack, while still remembering the scenes of the pirates beating her father... he was left in such a bad situation, that he fell defeated with an arm petrified and destroyed.

"I will kill him, I swear!!" Bonney continued to exclaim with so much anger.

"Easy captain!! We can't beat him!!! Did you see what he did to a Gorosei...!" The men were terrified as their captain wanted to try and kill Straw Hat after what they saw on the screen, he was on a Yonkou level, no, even beyond that after those explosive punches that could destroy everything, he even scarred the sky with his still burning flames.

"He defeated Saturn..." Bonney commented, seemingly stopping her rage attack... I should have been the one to kill him... but if he defeated him and dad is alright... I might forgive him..." She whispered softly.

"This was too much for me..." Bege said with a tone of defeat while the rest of the Worst Generation just watched him walk away.

"It seems like all those scenes were too much for him..." Basil commented, appearing just as shaken.

"Hey, Bege... Are you still going to the New World?! Are you giving up being a pirate?!" Urouge asked, while Bege didn't even respond.

"It looks like we'll just be picking up crumbs like this..." Killer murmured.

"So this is the real power of the Straw Hats..." Kid murmured, before giving a more cautious look. "That power made by Monkey D. Luffy... no human should have such strength... how can he reach a level that even makes Whitebeard's power look second rate?!" He exclaimed, gritting his teeth.

"We have a chance of taking the top spot like this..." Scratchmen Apoo murmured a bit frustrated, unsure if he could handle such power... this way, Monkey D. Luffy would win all the territories. "Hm?" He glanced at someone and moved away.

X-Drake was leaving there without speaking to anyone or expressing any comment, but anyone who saw his face from the front would see his extremely somber expression, which wasn't surprising for someone seeing their own organization being destroyed while he was working as an undercover spy... His wish was to help the marines, although he doubted if he would be of much help, the scenes of the Straw Hats arriving, the Conqueror's Haki, the mystical beasts, Luffy facing all three admirals at the same time, fighting against Garp and Sengoku, throwing the prisoner's key and freeing him, the fight against Saturn, the destruction of Marineford, and the moment they fled.

All of this was going through X-Drake's mind, he had to get in touch with the navy to know what to do, because after today the navy's plans might change a lot.

It wasn't just X-Drake thinking about those scenes, other smaller pirates who wanted to maintain their independence even if they were not from the Worst Generation, saw that event as an opportunity.

"I'm heading to the sea! Marineford isn't far from here! I'll ask to join the Straw Hats!" someone exclaimed.

"Me too, even if it's just for the fleet, I want to be under the wing of someone with those capabilities." Another spoke.

"The era belongs to Monkey D. Luffy!" A third shouted.

"Let's talk to him before he enters the New World!" They decided, as they ran to their ships, everyone hoping for an opportunity to join the most powerful group, confident that Monkey D. Luffy would really achieve the ambitions of his words, which were to dominate the seas, and seeing Luffy demonstrate a strength that surpassed Whitebeard, got all the pirates excited, many who had already thought about joining a Yonkou's crew, quickly changed their minds, leaving Sabaody counting on the chance to meet part of the fleet leaving Marineford.

This chapter was just the reactions at Sabaody... I'll have to make 3 or 4 chapters like this, since there are a lot of characters to comment on... before going back to Luffy.
