Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Fish-Man Island.

...

...

Fish-Man Island quickly appeared ahead of the Black Pearl as they approached it again. As always, the island's glow stood out from the ocean floor as the ship finally emerged from the vortex created by Shirahoshi, highlighting the beauty of the kingdom beneath the sea.

"How beautiful!" Rebecca couldn't help but admire as she saw the island for the first time, and others shared this view.

"Mermaid!! I want to see mermaids!!" Brook started to exclaim.

"We've finally arrived," Luffy murmured as the ship slowly approached. His gaze fell to a dark side of the sea.

His sister, next to him, noticed. "What are you looking at, Luffy?" she asked curiously.

"Don't you feel it yet?" Luffy said, as his voice calmly directed toward that side. "Are you there? Come here," he said calmly.

"Him?!" Lucy managed to see with her observation haki as a huge shadow began to emerge from that side at this moment.

"That…" Zoro murmured, recognizing the shadow that was approaching with several tentacles.

Luffy broke into a smile. "Yes, it's my last companion I made on this island, whom I left here a year ago, as I couldn't bring him to Skypiea due to his size."

Serume heard Luffy's call through the voice of all things and immediately approached as soon as he felt it. He smiled as he came closer to the ship.

"Serume, how are you?" Luffy greeted him, while other small octopuses were beside him. "I see that your siblings are doing great!" He looked with interest at the small creatures.

Luffy knew that Hody Jones had taken the young Kraken and blackmailed him by threatening his little siblings to make him obey their plans, so he asked some of his agents to go after the siblings in a very distant place in one of the blues, to be taken to the brother and that they could be raised by his side around the kingdom of fish-men.

Serume also helped in the protection of the island, along with others, after the death of Whitebeard, Luffy sent Jimbei several times to take care of the island's security and try to reinforce it.

Many fish-men had been sent to Skypiea with the help of Bepo and had undergone intense training with six styles, but they had to return months before they departed, after all, the situation was a bit tense.

Moreover, after Hody Jones and his main members were publicly executed, some others had to go for forced labor at the bottom of the sea searching for miners, one of these people was Wadatsumi himself, who made an agreement with Neptune to use his punishment to take care of the borders of this country.

Still, even though the island's defenses were better than in the time of Whitebeard, there was still work to be resolved. Luffy knew he needed to deal with this mess now that he was back, his first step was on the surface, with the destruction of the auction houses and his declaration of war against all those who had traded in Sabaody, they would hunt them across the world.

Now here he was, who opted to navigate through the passage under the sea to the new world, instead of going directly over the Red Mountain. He also needed to see how things were with his father-in-law.

After greeting his crew, Serume along with his siblings, who were small folks by his side, Black Pearl advanced towards the island's port.

At the port, Wadatsumi was in the water as they approached and a large group of soldiers and a crowd were already waiting, recognizing the ship's flag.

The ship finally docked and everyone shouted as Neptune waited with his sons on the side in front of everyone. "Daddy!" Shirahoshi immediately got off the ship to greet her father.

"My sweet daughter! You look so small, you look more beautiful when you're bigger!!" She complained, despite crying with the return of her daughter.

"But my husband prefers it this way." Shirahoshi spoke with a calm smile as she hugged her father.

"Your husband..." Neptune grumbled, as Luffy was a thorn in his side, for having 'stolen' his precious daughter from him and turned her into a pirate.

And, speaking of him, Luffy landed on the land at that moment. "Hello, father-in-law, how are things? I hope well..." Luffy spoke with a smile.

Neptune snorted but quickly returned to his serious demeanor. "Welcome back to Fish-Man Island, Monkey D. Luffy. I'm sure you want to know everything that has happened here in recent months... Your help has managed to calm things down, although we still have many pirate attacks." He spoke.

"Please, I need to know exactly what happened these months, in detail, and I want to reinforce the security of this island before we definitively head to the new world. You must already know what we did on the surface before coming here, right?" Luffy responded and asked.

"Yes, we received news. Several fish-men and mermaids who returned from Sabaody, being saved by you, they told us what happened there. We are thankful for that," Neptune spoke with a tone of respect and gratitude.

Neptune then continued, announcing to all the Straw Hats who were still disembarking from the ship and approaching them. "Anyway, let's go to the Palace. We'll have a feast. There is also someone on this island who has been waiting for more than a month," said Neptune, as Luffy raised an eyebrow, scanning the island; he found him at the Ryugu Palace, surprised to see that person there, or part of him...

The people seemed quite excited about the presence of the Straw Hats as they had given hope in protecting the island again, especially after knowing that numerous mermaids and fish-men had already been rescued by them on the surface and returned with the stories.

"Let's first go to the palace, then we'll stay a few days here and you can enjoy the island, especially those who weren't here before." Luffy spoke while everyone nodded and floating boats were brought for them to head towards the palace.

"It's good to see you again, Megalo!" Shirahoshi's brothers greeted their sister's friend, as everyone proceeded to the palace.

In the end, there was a great feast while the crew was inside the palace. Shirahoshi was with her family, and the other members had fun all around as usual.

Luffy was eating with his sister and talking with the members when he was called by one of Neptune's ministers. "Lord Luffy... Our guest would like to know if you can see him..." He spoke as Luffy, eating a piece of meat, set it aside and nodded.

"Let's see him..." Luffy said as he stood up and left the crew and the banquet hall behind.

"He is behind this room..." The minister said as he stopped in front of the door.

Luffy nodded and entered another separate audience room and found a man standing looking at the aquariums around the room. "It's been a long time since I've seen you," Luffy greeted one of the old members of Whitebeard's crew.

"It's good to see you again, Monkey D. Luffy..." the man murmured.

Luffy looked at the one-armed man in front of him, probably lost in the fight against Teach and his crew, while defending Whitebeard's territories.

Whitebeard fell and Ace and the others were in a very bad situation since then, Luffy couldn't help wondering if things would be different with him there, but soon shook his head, thinking about 'what ifs' is a defeat, things happened as they should.

And Luffy couldn't be the nanny of this group, they were allies, but he and his crew had their own adventure. After all, they had to have that isolated training to be prepared for all the challenges that would fall on the group from now on.

He cared about his brother and no matter how many executions I have to invade, I would do everything to bring him back, but Ace also had his own crew and couldn't be his nanny.

"How is Ace?" Luffy couldn't help asking looking at Vista.

"He's fine, along with the other members," the man replied, with a sad smile, "They are in what remains of daddy's territories... protecting them..."

"Big Mom and Kaido are quite aggressive, but Teach really is quite insistent, isn't he?" Luffy asked.

Vista clenched his teeth at that moment. "Yes... that damn... somehow... he got dad's powers." He said with a dark tone.

"I see..." Luffy murmured to the man, understanding Vista's anger.

Luffy didn't show it, but he was also eager to face Teach, the man who probably possesses the Kraken fruit, unlike Serume... this one must be much more powerful... and now has two unique powers, darkness and earthquake.

'Ifrit of Chaos with the Moa Moa no mi versus the Kraken with these powers... Who will be victorious in the end?' Luffy murmured internally. He couldn't help but be excited about the final fight between these two mystical beasts. Who would win would be an answer to the chaotic future he would create.

Luffy set his thoughts aside and turned back to Vista. "I know why you're here, but you know that I'm also at war with two other Yonko at this moment, right?" He began. "I'm already preparing to face them, strengthening all my territories. I'll be invading Wano in a war against Kaido and Big Mom. I won't be able to assist you now." Luffy spoke firmly.

He still had his own adventure, his own war, and he knew that his brother could hold on until then, or they should come to him, but he was sure that Whitebeard's crew would not abandon Whitebeard's lands.

"I understand..." Vista murmured. "The revolutionaries are helping us in some ways, but with the meeting of all the kings happening soon, they are preparing for that and will not be able to help us much," the man commented.

"Yes... that meeting will happen soon, and it seems that the World Government changed its date, which is no surprise with the world as chaotic as it is..." Luffy commented calmly.

"Do you believe we can protect our territories?" Vista couldn't help but comment with a bit of discouragement.

"Let's be honest, Vista. You can't face the Yonkos... But I can help you..." Luffy said with a firm tone.

"You're talking about..." Vista murmured.

"Yes... I want you to come under my flag, this way, I will use all my strength to help you and protect the territories left by Whitebeard... You will become my people..." Luffy said firmly while opening a smile in front of his proposal, after all, this was one of his plans in the new world, to integrate Whitebeard's fleet, when the same man had asked him to take care of his children, in this very palace more than a year ago, so it was time to start executing it with one of the members coming to talk to him.

"I... can't make such a decision so easily for others." Vista admitted.

"I understand... but you still expected me to say exactly this, after all, we are pirates of the sea, it was obvious if you want my help, you would have to join my crew and fleet, but you are not here to accept it so easily, so I take the risk of saying that Marco sent you here to know exactly my plans for the future..." Luffy said with a smile.

"Yes..." Vista murmured, admitting exactly what Luffy wanted, after all, they wouldn't accept working for another leader without the same concepts that made them create Whitebeard's crew.

"That's good... because listen carefully, Vista. I'm going to tell exactly my plans for the new world and for the future of all the seas of this world." Luffy began, while Vista stayed in that room listening to each of Luffy's words, with wide eyes.
