Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

New World.

...

...

In the midst of a stormy sea, with huge waves continuously crashing against each other amid heavy rain and lightning, ships began to appear. The first was the Moby Dick, followed by twenty more trailing behind, heading back to the New World.

"We are here again!" The members of the Whitebeard Pirates maintained a satisfied look, surveying the tumultuous waters. Bubbles burst from the Moby Dick, and more coatings exploded from the other ships until the entire fleet was finally ready to sail towards their territories. The rain and lightning continued to pour down from the sky, lighting up the entire area.

Luffy gazed with a bit of admiration at the chaotic scene before him. He and his crew would navigate these waters in the future, but he certainly already had a taste of this sea until the Black Pearl sailed here.

Beside him, Ace approached. "Are you already scared of navigating the New World, Luffy?" he teased with the question.

"Do you think I'm scared of this place? I'm just excited because I've officially come to this sea, I will conquer the whole New World, Ace. Remember that." Luffy retorted, mocking his brother's provocation.

"Arrogant as always, aren't you, Luffy?" Ace murmured, but soon smiled. "Anyway, we'll be waiting for that. Are you going already?" he asked.

Luffy nodded, looking into the darkness of the night, raising an arm and looking at his wrist. "Yes, Ace. I need to do some things and it has to be somewhat quick." He lowered his arm and looked in a certain direction. "After all, many forces are in motion now. Probably this organization I'm targeting must be in chaos with the death of their leader, I need to hurry to execute my plan."

Luffy then turned his attention to the other crew members. With them watching him at that moment. "So you're leaving, Straw Hat?" Marco asked with a friendly smile.

"Looks like we won't see each other soon," Vista spoke. "It's a shame we can't exchange a few blows, since I wanted to see the skills of the one who possesses the sword of the ancient king of pirates," he commented.

"In the future, we will have a chance," Luffy said.

"Anyway, thank you for your help, Monkey D. Luffy, I'm sure that we got out of Marineford so well thanks to your crew," Jozu acknowledged.

Luffy nodded, turning his attention to Whitebeard. "Goodbye, kid. Good luck, and when you return to these waters in the future, make your name," he said.

Luffy nodded. "You can count on it, Whitebeard. I hope to find you strong and healthy still, you hear me?" Luffy spoke smiling.

They looked at each other with some respect. Truthfully, Luffy didn't believe he would meet him again and this would probably be their last meeting, but without saying anything more, he turned around.

"Good luck, Straw Hat," Marco said.

"Thank you. Ace's brother, see you. Get back to the ship when you can, we'll have a feast," the Whitebeard crew exclaimed cheerfully.

"You are our friend, visit when you can," various exclamations came from the pirates of the divisions.

Luffy nodded. He liked these people and now Whitebeard would have a chance to live a little longer with his family. Putting that aside, Luffy bent his knees on the ship's deck and exploded into the air, flying with Geppo.

Quickly approaching the dark clouds in the sky, and looking at his wrist where there were three Eternal Pose, he chose one specifically before sensing its magnetic field and moving in that direction, bursting through the air, slicing through the rain and dodging falling lightning at that moment.

The Whitebeard crew watched as Luffy disappeared into the horizon, "Hope to see him soon," Marco commented.

"Yes, Luffy will be here with his crew soon. So, we can't fall behind. I'll get so strong that I'll kick his ass when I see him," Ace said with a challenging smile.

"Well, men, let's move forward now. After all, we have our territories to reach and see the chaos they made in them," Whitebeard said and everyone nodded. Finally, they began to move forward.

Luffy continued to navigate through the storm until he spotted an island in the distance. With a Geppo, it didn't take long for him to finally see it, as it was enveloped by toxic smoke. This was Punk Hazard, moments before the fight between Aokiji and Akainu, with the island serving as a major government research base where Dr. Vegapunk worked on research for the government. Luffy believed the accident was caused by his assistant, Caesar Clown.

The island was uninhabitable; Dr. Vegapunk had moved to Egghead and Caesar had secretly reactivated the abandoned base and started his Smile project with Doflamingo.

Luffy was after Caesar, so he decided to capture him. Moreover, there was a fruit on this island that interested him, wanting to obtain it for the person he believed was most suited for it.

As soon as he arrived above the island, Luffy removed a mask from the system. He might not have his akuma no mi, but he still had the system with many credits he had acquired in recent days; he even convinced Neptune to give him a dowry. After placing the mask on his face, he advanced onto the island.

Meanwhile, Caesar Clown was quite agitated as an assistant helped him pack everything up. They had to leave the laboratory by order of their new leader. The Donquixote pirates had affiliated themselves with the beast pirates for protection, as without Doflamingo, they would be doomed to destruction with so many enemies they had acquired, and without Joker, the underworld would also be in chaos.

It was at that moment that an explosion occurred, shaking the entire station, with Caesar and Monet immediately looking towards the source of the sound.

"What's happening?!" Caesar exclaimed with a look of fear.

"We should find out, Dr. Caesar," Monet said in her white lab coat, not yet having her modifications, just an ordinary woman.

Meanwhile, at one of the entrances, Luffy entered the laboratory in a suit sealed against the poisonous gas. After blowing up the entrance with a punch, he picked up the dented door and put it back where he had taken it from, although it no longer covered everything, with some poisonous gas leaking through the gaps.

Luffy started walking, even with the poison entering the base. He knew he had time to do everything he needed before leaving there, so he pressed on.

He also quickly sensed the presence of everything in that base. There were many artificial fruits there along with Caesar and his assistant. It seemed that no one else was there, so the children were not used by Caesar yet at this time.

He continued cutting through the corridors until he entered a large space leading to the center of the base; his haki showed two presences coming towards him through the corridor ahead. Caesar flew in his gaseous form and finally encountered Luffy in the corridor, stopping in front of him angrily, with Monet appearing below him. Caesar's angry look quickly turned to astonishment with a grimace, after all, who in the world didn't know Monkey D. Luffy at that moment?

"What are you doing here?" Caesar exclaimed in fear.

"I'm here to rob you," Luffy said with a smile. And before Caesar could say anything more, Luffy was already in front of him. He simply clenched his fist with Haki and struck him in the face, making Caesar fly a considerable distance, with blood spraying in the air from his broken nose, before he collapsed defeated on one side of the corridor. Meanwhile, Monet immediately stepped back, with Luffy landing in front of her, looking at her with interest.

"So it seems that what was expected is happening... The Donquixote pirates are acting... I would like to understand the situation now that Doflamingo is dead," Luffy said calmly. Monet couldn't act while she transformed into snow, but Luffy hit her on the head, causing her to faint.

"So easy to deal with them," Luffy commented, looking at the two fallen on the ground. "Anyway," he said, taking some handcuffs from the system and placing them on Monet, then moving towards Caesar.

Caesar opened his eyes a moment later and was stunned as he saw Luffy staring at him with handcuffs placed on his arm. "Hey hey, what are you doing? Do you know who I am? I am the greatest scientist of all!" he exclaimed immediately.

"You really are a good scientist, which is why I will be capturing you. I'll need your help in my plans," Luffy did not hide his greed. Caesar would be very useful.

Caesar, trying to maintain his pride, now understood why Luffy was there. He valued his abilities, and this immediately made him fearful that he was about to be used by another pirate. "Wait, wait, you can't do this. We are directly affiliated with Kaido and the Beast Pirates!" Caesar tried to argue, but Luffy just laughed.

"That doesn't matter, since we will take down Kaido in the future so you will come with me anyway..." he said before slapping Caesar again, making him truly faint this time.

Luffy made sure they would stay locked up and left them there while he entered a base and quickly began to explore the whole place. There was a Smile factory and a reasonable stock of artificial fruits, but his real interest was in the junkyard of the place. As he was at its entrance, he blew up the place entering the junk dump and walked through it until he found a pink fruit.

This fruit was an experiment classified as a failure by the World Government when Dr. Vegapunk was working here, trying to develop an artificial fruit for Kaido. However, in the tests, it was deemed a disposable experiment, making the World Government very disappointed, as they had spent many resources on this project. In the end, after that, Caesar went mad and caused the incident that led to the chaos the island is in today.

'Failed experiment? What foolishness...' Luffy murmured, looking at the fruit in his hand. Momonosuke had managed to transform into a giant dragon, though not as large as Kaido, after all, this fruit is inferior to the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu (a Dragon Fish). But still, it gives more power than most fruits.

Satisfied, Luffy stored the fruit as he left the place, going to other areas to steal some money and take the resources. He could put Caesar's treasures with his money in the system, but since he didn't have his Moa moa no mi at the moment, he would have to carry the other things he picked up at the base.

He was not interested in the fruits, so he decided to destroy them, along with the whole laboratory. But just as he was about to start, he felt a presence entering the base through another of the large laboratory's entrances.

"Look what we have here, a vice-admiral of the Navy..." Luffy murmured and opened a smile, giving up his move as he walked towards the entrance.

A man with a bamboo, wearing Navy robes, walked in, surprised to see Caesar and Monet handcuffed in the middle of the corridor. Luffy approached along the corridor, while his steps echoed through the place.

"Hello, Vice-Admiral Vergo," he commented calmly appearing in front of the man.
