Third Person POV

Sabaody.

...

...

In Sabaody, pirates continued to gather on this island to prepare before venturing into the most powerful sea in the world, aiming to make their names known and leave their mark in the history of this world, while trying to find the greatest treasure of the world.

Since the war of the best, the number of pirates had quadrupled with people coming to this island every month, and in the last few months, this number had increased tenfold due to the presence of a notorious pirate group finally appearing here after another year without visiting.

This group stood out from the moment they started sailing the sea, quickly destroying naval bases, killing their officers, and the biggest pirates in the East Blue. Their first appearance in the newspaper surprised everyone as they had taken a captain into custody, who was Smoker in the old Cocoyasi Village. At that time, not many cared much about it, after all, they had only detained a few pirates worth less than 20 million berries and everyone thought Morgans was exaggerating by putting a novice pirate in the newspaper, even calling to threaten him for publishing this instead of something about them.

But a few days passed and Morgans dropped another bomb in his newspaper, with Luffy killing the king of Goa, sitting on the throne with a mermaid in his lap, shocking everyone who saw this newspaper that day, and it didn't take long for everyone to get to know the fearsome Monkey D. family, coming off the first page with Luffy once again standing out, but for the first time, shocking everyone with four people sharing blood in their veins.

The world began to pay better attention to Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, strange things started happening in the first part of the Grand Line, like the disappearance of the huge whale that was at the entrance of the Grand Line, explosions seen thousands of kilometers in the middle of the night, some rumors that the Straw Hats had gone to the Drum Kingdom, killed its former king, and made the place their territory, although the government had not managed to penetrate the kingdom that was not its affiliate to find out, but it was certain that the kingdom began to create a large number of doctors gaining notoriety, just like Whisky Peak that started to get very rich after creating factories of alcoholic beverages distributing both to the Grand Line and all the Blues, becoming globally known today as the best drinks in the world renewing the market, even Yonkou were their customers.

Returning to the events from a year ago, people were even more shocked with Monkey D. Luffy creating chaos in Alabasta with him, 2 Shichibukais, and a vice-admiral of the navy being made prisoners.

The newspapers published that the navy turned the game thanks to the hero Smoker, but many claim that this was a lie and Luffy took the initiative to hand over the vice-admiral and the Shichibukai with a lot of evidence against Alabasta, which resulted in the imprisonment of this former corsair, putting the version of the newspaper at the time to not let the navy's image down too much.

Their ship continued and Luminarchy became the next stop, creating another chaos, with rumors that Luffy challenged the very Doflamingo. With that, they departed, so while the world was beginning to wait for new news after the bounty posters after Alabasta, they simply disappeared for weeks.

The next news of Monkey D. Luffy came weeks later, while he and a mysterious man and user of the legendary Goro Goro no mi, appeared with Luffy showing off his new subordinate, and they attacked various islands in the middle of the Grand Line and faced Kuzan, an admiral, Luffy managed to fight against him and came out of the fight without a defined winner, something that immediately caught the attention even of the Yonkous, seeing Luffy as a potential subordinate with such a feat in so little time.

And the world trembled once again, because after the event with Kuzan, he faced along with his new companion, Doflamingo and Jack, the drought, it was not enough to face a third Shichibukai in so little time, but one of the 3 calamities of Kaido, then the newspaper published the destruction of the island along with the defeat of their adversaries, making it clear that besides defeating one of Kaido's main commanders, he even declared war and called Kaido his father-in-law, saying that he was going to marry his daughter, revealing that Yamato, his vice captain, was the daughter of the strongest creature in the world.

After that, he disappeared. Some rumors say that he entered the Calm Belt and encountered Hancock, taming her somehow after defeating her, as they say after what was seen in the war. Then, the Straw Hats remained inactive for months after Jaya. There were rumors of Monkey D. Luffy being in the South Blue, on the Music Island, but no one knows for sure if these rumors are real.

However, the navy and the government continued searching for him everywhere because, after all, he had a member of Kaido and even Doflamingo in custody, kept prisoner on his ship. It was only after a few months that they returned, and their first stop was Water Seven, putting the entire island in a state of panic. They quickly started chaos and captured a government team secretly planted in this place for years and asked for a negotiation with the government.

The island chosen after the government accepted the pirates' demands was Enies Lobby, and with more than 10,000 marine soldiers, 10 vice admirals, and one admiral, the Straw Hats did not seem afraid and went to the island, which soon led to a great conflict revealing partly the strength this crew represented. None of the marine's major forces could really stop a Straw Hat while fights were happening all over the island.

At one point, Luffy began to attack Akainu, and defeated him, but this caused the navy to send a second admiral, Kizaru. Monkey D. Luffy appeared in the newspaper fighting against 2 admirals at the same time, showing that his strength was still underestimated by the whole world.

In the end, Enies Lobby was destroyed, the navy might not have had many losses, but they came out as losers while Doflamingo left without an arm and fingers in a comatose state from the place, as the Straw Hats moved away from the place.

The next major event was Sabaody itself while the whole world watched Luffy and his crew beat several Tenryuubitos on the island, which left everyone shocked. He fought again against Admiral Kizaru, this time defeating an admiral in front of everyone, and fought against a golden monkey that few knew, causing chaos throughout Sabaody until things finally calmed down, although the island was in chaos for many days.

But this did not last long, after all, news of the execution of Portgas D. Ace clouded the Straw Hat at this moment, while everyone saw the next war happening at sea, being the biggest of this era since Roger put everyone in the sea.

The Straw Hats disappeared and the war began, everyone was stunned with Ace being declared the son of Gold D. Roger and the fight with the Whitebeard pirates began. However, in the midst of the war, the world once again paid attention to Monkey D. Luffy, who emerged in the middle of the war with a grand entrance, displaying several Tenryuubitos tied to his ship.

Besides declaring that he was Ace's foster brother, he challenged the navy and mainly the world government, executing a Tenryuubito, a scene that no one in this world had seen and left everyone shocked by it.

Luffy did not limit himself to just killing a world noble in the eyes of the world, he and his crew turned the whole war around, showing that once again, everyone had underestimated the Straw Hats. The navy began to lose ground and soon found themselves cornered, Monkey D. Luffy was facing 3 admirals at the same time with everyone witnessing. They managed to free Ace and a Gorosei appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

But then it happened, when everyone expected Monkey D. Luffy and his crew to be cornered at Marineford, Luffy appeared and demonstrated a power that many claim was a myth, that no human should have so much power, he had shaken everyone. He simply beat one of the men who ruled the world and sent him into space with almost everyone claiming that he killed him, able to see his comet every month.

If the war had already shocked everyone, the news that Monkey D. Luffy had entered Impel Down, and rescued some of his crew members and the prisoners they saw at Marineford added another touch of grandeur to Luffy and his crew.

There were many reports of him appearing here and there, but nothing with much proof. Monkey D. Luffy then disappeared with his bounty of 3.5 billion, making the world wonder where he was and what he was doing. The government had sent agents to all possible islands across all the seas, but with no success in finding him.

Many things changed then. The transfer of the Marine Headquarters to the New World, Sengoku resigned his position, and another took his place after fighting for 10 days against another contender for the position of Fleet Admiral. Whitebeard shocked the world with the news of his death, and the New World became a great chaos after that as Yonkous tried to steal pieces of Whitebeard's territories, mainly Big Mom and Kaido, while a new rising Yonkou appears, being Blackbeard, leaving everyone shocked with him possessing the power of the Gura Gura no Mi in addition to his dark Akuma no Mi, and everyone has been talking about him ever since as he cements his position in the New World as a Yonkou as well.

For some time, there was nothing more about Monkey D. Luffy. People said many things, that Monkey D. Luffy was so injured that he retired or that he himself had died, some continued to claim it was a myth.

However, a few days later, a shocking newspaper revealed that the Straw Hats had returned and were approaching Sabaody. This immediately made everyone go to the island to meet the legendary territory-less Yonkou, wanting to gather under his flag even more so when the legendary pirate issued a recruitment order on the island.

The Straw Hat laughed as he looked at his recruitment poster in a bar in the town while the bartender filled his glass, trembling thinking he might anger this man and die right there.

"Look, my crew!!!" the man exclaimed while all his companions present looked at him. "We've gathered thousands of people to join our fleet with dozens of captains with bounties above 50 million! We'll enter the New World and conquer it with all of them! HAHAHAHA!" He laughed, while the others nodded in agreement.

This man was slightly different from the Straw Hats on the wanted posters, but everyone thought that a year can really change a person while the Straw Hat was arrogant and proportionately, fat.
