Third Person POV

Somewhere at sea, East Blue.

...

...

"We're almost there!" Zoro said, eager to join the fight as soon as possible, despite having faced opponents a few days earlier.

"Are they really pirates? I've never seen pirates dress like this..." Nami commented, observing how organized this group's uniforms were.

"Weird, they're waving at us too, as if they've glimpsed some hope... looking very happy about our approach..." Usopp scratched his chin, perplexed.

"Maybe Luffy made friends with them! And they want to welcome us!" Yamato concluded after pondering for a moment.

"OW!"

"Sharky!"

"Megalo said that Chouchou-Sama heard something like this, 'It's the navy, we have reinforcements!'" Shirahoshi informed.

"So clearly, they're not our friends..." Kuina commented the obvious.

"I wonder what Luffy did to them..." Nami pondered.

"We're on a navy ship, what did they expect? I just wonder why pirates seem so happy about the navy's presence. I think Nami is right..." Usopp reasoned.

"Anyway, let's find out soon..." Zoro said, eager to approach and understand what was really happening there.

"What happened to Luffy-Sama?" Shirahoshi asked, expressing a bit of concern.

"I saw him descending forcefully onto that pirate ship, breaking everything with his landing. He was flying and fighting with someone using Geppo..." Yamato reported.

"Geppo? What's that?" Kuina questioned.

"It's a technique used to walk in the air. Some members of my father's pirate group could use it after copying some marines." Yamato explained.

"A technique that allows walking in the air?" Zoro became quite curious and surprised at this revelation.

"Is your father also a pirate?" Nami asked, surprised.

"Yes, that old bastard! I can't wait to go back to Wano and kick his ass along with Luffy!" Yamato replied without looking at Nami, keeping her eyes on the ships ahead.

"No matter what kind of technique the enemy uses, Luffy can't lose to anyone in the East Blue!" Usopp asserted with conviction, and most nodded in agreement, while Nami watched in amazement.

"OW! OW!"

"Sharky, Sharky!"

"Hehehehe, Chouchou said that you became so convinced that Luffy-sama is so powerful after spending time with him in the last few days, Usopp-Sama." Shirahoshi chuckled timidly at the dog's joke.

"It's not just that. You've seen his strength; he's a monster!"

"He is, and the most surreal thing is that Yamato is even stronger than the captain..." Zoro couldn't help but murmur. There was never a clear winner in the sparrings between Luffy and Yamato, but Zoro could feel that the white-haired woman was holding back all the time.

"What??" Usopp couldn't believe it.

"Really? Is she even stronger?" Nami couldn't help but be amazed. Since Luffy himself claimed that he could destroy Loguetown in a day and didn't seem to be lying, the question now is: if Luffy can do that, can Yamato be an even worse monster?

"Yes, these men are agents of a powerful group from the World Government..." Luffy replied to the navigator as his eyes fixed on the eight agents still alive but unconscious on the destroyed ship.

"Anyway, I want to find out why they attacked this commercial ship..." Luffy said, pointing a finger at the still-bound couple in the corner of the boat.

Without wasting any more time, Luffy approached the couple. The couple, tied in the corner of the ship, portrayed an everyday scene amidst adversity. The middle-aged man exhibited a bald head and a substantial beard, his eyes reflecting surprise and relief at the unexpected rescue. Beside him, the woman, with short brown hair, conveyed a mixture of courage and concern, her eyes revealing gratitude for having survived the chaos that unfolded around them. Despite the handcuffs and chains that kept them prisoners, they shared a bond that suggested a story built over time, as Luffy perceived.

"Yo." Luffy snapped the couple out of their stupor.

"Hello, sir! My name is Kyrti. Thank you for saving our lives. We'll reward you for this!" The man quickly said, with the woman beside him.

"Well, I'm Monkey D. Luffy. If you want to thank me, you can start by telling me why you were being targeted by a group like Cipher Pol..." Luffy got straight to the point, burning the handcuffs and chains that held the couple with his flames, without hurting them. He calmly waited for a response, with the other Straw Hats grouping behind him to listen as well.

Feeling relieved, the man and woman looked at them with a grateful gleam.

"I thought we were going to die. I never imagined such a sudden turnaround... thank you..." The man couldn't help but comment in relief, looking at Luffy.

"Anyway, we were targeted because my wife here had in her possession a key and a map belonging to her old family. Something that passed from generation to generation. When we finally decided to unravel the mystery, we went after the treasure located in this sea according to the map, but we were ambushed without our guards being able to react. They were all killed quickly without being able to react, leaving only me and my wife alive for them to gather information from..." The man explained, revealing the reason for the attack.

"...It was after that that you found us in such a bad situation. The key and the map were quite precious to the Garen family, but we never thought the world government was targeting us for it. There should have been some of them contacting us when my dear wife and I announced and called the men for this journey..." The man lamented his luck.

"And where are you guys from?" Luffy couldn't help but ask. To his surprise, it wasn't the man who answered. Instead, the woman spoke for the first time.

"Iksi hen se kasta south, iksi kesīr naejot jiōragon bisa uēpa treasure bona ēza issare rēbagon rȳ ñuha lentor hen generation naejot generation, kirimvose syt saved īlva lives, nyke thought ñuha valzȳrys se nyke sia jāre naejot morghūljagon, sīr emā ñuha kirimvose!!" The woman began to speak, and her husband looked at her with appreciation while the crew fell into silence.

"What the hell did she say?!" Everyone exclaimed internally. No one understood this woman's language, and she seemed to expect them to comprehend.
