Third Person POV

Grand Line.

...

...

Luffy walked around the island after landing, observing it for the first time. The people still seemed frightened by the chaos caused by Shirahoshi's power.

People started to notice him as he strolled through the streets lined with houses resembling corals. "It's very beautiful down here..." Luffy had to admit.

He ignored the gossip being stirred up about him as he approached a well-known place. "So this is one of the iconic places of this world..." Luffy murmured, looking at the sign at the entrance.

He then decided to enter, opening its doors while there seemed to be little activity at the entrance since people were still celebrating Whitebeard's return, but the place was also open so he saw no reason not to continue.

His entrance caught the attention of some mermaids who were in the place. "Hm... a customer...?" One mermaid murmured in surprise.

"..." Luffy stared and noticed 4 mermaids working there, cleaning the tables after people had been celebrating all day before their arrival.

"Wait!! This is Straw Hat-San!!" One quickly noticed.

"Hello, mermaid. Can I serve myself here?" Luffy asked curiously as the other mermaids recognized him.

"Of course! I will tell Madame Shyarly that Monkey D. Luffy is here!" One of the mermaids spoke as she left the area.

"Well... can you bring me some drinks?" Luffy asked as he reached the counter, while the mermaids quickly brought things for him, slightly blushing.

"We have aquatic lemon juice, Mugiwara-San!"

"We also have coral milkshake!"

"Do you want some sea tea?"

Luffy looked at those three cups with a not-so-pleased face and immediately refused. "Sorry... but what I want is alcohol. Give me your best Rum!" Luffy said.

The three mermaids looked at each other and went to fetch his alcohol. "So he's here." Madame Shyarly said with interest as she walked through the doors to see Monkey D. Luffy drinking alcohol, surrounded by three mermaids hugging him.

"You are so strong, Luffy-San. I was all emotional when you entered the war." One mermaid spoke while rubbing against Luffy's arm.

"You really are brave, you even killed a Tenryuubito in front of the whole world, I've never seen anything like it." Another mermaid spoke in Luffy's lap.

"You truly are a hero... to think that Uncle Whitebeard would come out alive from that war." A third mermaid murmured as she kissed Luffy on the cheek.

"You're exaggerating, I just did what I should for my brother." Luffy said before smiling and drinking his alcohol. "Don't you agree... Madame Shyarly?" Luffy looked at the large mermaid watching.

"Can you let our customer breathe a little?" She approached, asking the other mermaids, as they quickly ran away from Luffy with blushing faces while they seemed to behave.

"This is not very good behavior while this man is the fiancé of the princess as you know." Madame Shyarly said with a stern tone, making the mermaids a bit embarrassed.

"Anyway, forget that. Madame Shyarly, if you're here, it's an honor to meet the seer of the mermaid island..." Luffy smiled at the woman after drinking more from his bottle.

"You seem to know me..." Madame Shyarly said calmly, looking at the pirate with interest.

"Of course... you are Arlong's sister..." Luffy commented calmly, setting a somewhat hostile mood.

"Well... you could say that... I heard one of your companions killed him." Madame Shyarly said.

"Yes... you could also say he caused his own death... He was enslaving humans in the East Blue for over a decade..." Luffy murmured before returning to his drink.

"I can't deny he had a deserved end... that fool chose his hatred and it spread to some places on the island." She commented, and Luffy nodded.

"Yes. But that's also settled, my princess ended them, you must have heard the explosions and how the sea was agitated, it was the cleansing and I fear to say that the mermaid district no longer exists." Luffy commented.

"Yes... I already knew about that..." She said at the end.

"Now tell me, for you being here, did you see anything in the future? I'm not going to destroy the mermaid island or anything, am I?" Luffy asked curiously.

"No..." She said with a raised eyebrow. "I didn't see anything about your future if that's what you're asking." She spoke at the end.

Luffy looked at her for a moment, knowing she was lying, but he didn't mind as long as she didn't freak out saying he would destroy the island.

"Anyway, I want to enjoy this place," Luffy said, and the mermaid nodded.

The Straw Hats soon began to spread out as everyone started to leave Ryugu Palace and also began enjoying the island.

"Usopp! They have a picture of a milkshake!" Chopper shouted, looking at the mermaid cafe.

"Let's go in and see what they have!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly as he entered.

"Customer-san?!" A single mermaid greeted them before recognizing their identities. "You are friends of Luffy-Senpai!" The mermaid exclaimed as she approached.

"Have you seen Luffy?!" Chopper exclaimed, not having seen his captain for the last few hours.

"He's there, behind the cafe in the VIP area," the mermaid said. "Do you want to see him?"

"Yes. Show us the way," Usopp said as the mermaid nodded and led them behind the mermaid cafe.

When they arrived, they encountered a strange scene: Luffy was inside a coral pool drinking, surrounded by more than 20 bikini-clad mermaids. Nothing explicit was happening, but he was clearly enjoying himself surrounded by so many women in bikinis with fish tails.

"Luffy is living the dream of anyone from this world!" Usopp exclaimed, dazed.

"What??!! Where?!" Chopper, too innocent to understand what he was referring to, was looking for something tasty that Luffy must have been eating.

"Hm?!" Luffy looked over with a smile. "You guys are here... folks!" Luffy smiled at them while continuing to enjoy the small paradise of beautiful mermaids.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the island, Lami was competing in something with Reiju, while Nami, Vivi, Alvida, Nojiko, and Kuina went out to shop on the island.

Some stayed in the palace while others went to different places on the island. Luffy was again walking through the island's streets, heading towards the harbor, noticing an increase in ships coming from the surface—a quite obvious reaction with many pirates wanting to reach the New World after the great loss of the Navy.

He saw some familiar flags, and he would speak to them later, but first focused on his ship. As he approached, no one neared the Black Pearl and the others; there were guards keeping watch as they did on Whitebeard's pirate ships. He passed easily, being well-known, and boarded the ship while he was alone. Entering it, he went straight to the prison, filled with Tenryuubitos.

Everyone there immediately saw the door opening, especially the Celestial Dragons who grimaced with hatred at Luffy.

"Hey, you damn inferior being!" one shouted but couldn't continue, as Luffy's wave of Haki covered the entire place, leaving only two people standing.

"..." Page One maintained a cautious look at Luffy but was thankful he had knocked down those idiots who had been screaming the whole time about getting revenge when they had the chance.

But Luffy wasn't interested in him, but rather in Chief Jailer Domino, whom he had taken from Impel Down. The woman looked at him with a dark tone but was surprised when he simply opened her cell.

"Come with me, you're tired of staying here, how about you come along?" Luffy smiled.

"Why are you doing this?!" She asked with a cautious tone.

"I've decided you'll be a member of my fleet," Luffy said. He hadn't intended to take this woman before, but not wanting her to get hurt as the only woman in the prison rebellion, he ended up bringing her on the ship as well.

"And if I refuse..." She said, not wanting to associate with a pirate.

"You can choose that... then you can leave... but do you really want to go back to Impel Down, living there is a bit sad..." Luffy spoke with a smile. "But you can also work for me. You can get strong... So you decide," Luffy said, turning to leave.

"Hey, wait!!" Page One murmured.

"Speak," Luffy looked at him.

"Can't you get me out of here?" he asked.

"I could, but you'll have to swear loyalty to my flag. Otherwise, you're just a trade with Kaido..." Luffy said.

"..." Page One was silent but conflicted; Luffy saw this and started to leave the ship.

He couldn't help but smile as Domino followed him. "I see you've decided."

"No. I just don't know what to do yet," she said with a stern tone.

Luffy didn't care and was about to leave the ship when he felt his den den mushi ring. "Hm?!" He saw it was Uta.

"Luffy?!" She said with an urgent tone.

"Did something happen?" Luffy asked, his eyebrow raised by the tone of her voice.

"Some prisoners that Bepo brought... they've escaped from prison!" She said.

"Who?!" Luffy kept his voice calm, despite the surprise, wanting to understand the situation first while Domino remained silent beside him.

"It's Cracker and Reiju's family... they've escaped and caused some chaos. They're far from here... we can't stop them," Uta spoke.

"That's kind of bad... I'll stay here a bit longer before heading to Skypiea with the crew, just let me know if something like this happens again," Luffy said and hung up the den den mushi.

"Well... you see why I need a jailer, Miss Domino?" Luffy looked at her, although he didn't like the news, there wasn't much he could do since he was far from Skypiea now.

"..." Domino said nothing, and Luffy continued to exit the ship, with the woman following him.

But as they reached the port, there was a crowd of people being held back by the guards. "Look, it's him!!" A pirate said.

"Luffy-Sama!! Hire me!"

"Let me join your crew!"

"Let's dominate this era together, accept me into your fleet!!"

"I want to be a member of the Yonkou without territories!"

A crowd of people were all gathered while shouting at Luffy, who scratched his head at this, somewhat surprised by this reception seeing Neptune's guards not letting them pass.

"Sorry folks..." Luffy began to speak to them. "But I'm not interested," he said, leaving everyone surprised, as he had once thought, it was a bunch of criminals looking for a powerful flag to continue committing crimes.

The next moment, he released his haki, catching everyone off guard as they fell to the ground, surprising the guards, while Domino had already seen this in the prison more than once.

Luffy looked at a group behind the crowd of pirates as he approached with a smile. Kid, Killer, Basil Hawkins, Bege, X Drake, Apoo, Urouge, were there and he released another burst of Conqueror's Haki at them, catching them off guard.

His haki was much more powerful than what they had seen in Sabaody, making them feel a mountain on top of them as he put pressure on them.

"Hm?!" All the seven rookies with bounties above 100 million soon began to fall to their knees.

"I know you're interested in seeing how powerful I am... so I'll give you a taste," Luffy declared with a smile, increasing the pressure even more.

"What?!" Everyone was surprised as they fell further, unable to move, and some looked at Luffy in fear as he released haki all around that area of the island, with everyone there stunned by the event.

Luffy continued pressing them not to intimidate them, but for them to see how strong they would need to be if they wanted to reach the top of the new world. Kid clenched his teeth at this. "I won't let you humiliate me!!!" Kid exclaimed, releasing his own Conqueror's Haki for the first time in his life, against his, though it was like a child trying to fight an adult.

Luffy stopped releasing his haki and opened a satisfied smile at this. "Hahaha. That's what I wanted to see... very good. I hope we meet again, and that you be a powerful challenge in those waters," Luffy declared as everyone looked at him cautiously.

"Anyway, where's Bonney?" Luffy asked.

"She stayed in Sabaody..." Hawkins responded, and Luffy nodded to that, it seems the girl had accepted his proposal and he would return to the island to pick her up.

"Great, see you then. Don't let any pirates get close to my ship," Luffy spoke to the guards still dazed in the middle of the fallen, fainted crowd.

He looked at Domino. "Let's go to Ryugu Palace, after all, there's a trial happening," Luffy said, as Holy Jones and the others would be tried by King Neptune.
