Third Person POV

Somewhere on Sea, Grandline.

...

...

So, the Black Pearl left behind the reverse mountain lighthouse and plunged into the waters of the Grand Line for the first time. Crocus, Laboon's old friend and doctor, remained at the port, watching the ship drift away with an expression that blended melancholy and nostalgia.

"What an interesting group... It reminds me of the time when the captain and vice-captain first appeared at that lighthouse..." Crocus murmured, his gaze fixed on the distant silhouette of the Black Pearl. The memories of his days with Roger and Laboon echoed in his thoughts as he witnessed a new group of adventurers heading into the unknown.

"It seems I won't need to take care of Laboon anymore, now that he has a rather interesting doctor on board." Crocus commented to himself, smiling at the thought of the skilled woman with the Ope Ope no Mi who was part of the crew that took away his old friend. The idea of Laboon having new friends and protectors warmed the old doctor's heart.

"Anyway, I hope that hat fits the boy well... Maybe he really is the one you were waiting for, isn't he, Roger?" Crocus whispered, letting his memories intertwine with the sight of the straw hat swaying gently on the deck over the head of that boy. As the Black Pearl sailed away, Crocus lost himself for a moment in the stories of the past, in the promise of reunions, and in the destiny awaiting the new adventurers.

Meanwhile, the Black Pearl navigated the tumultuous waters of the Grand Line for the first time. A day passed, and the crew was immersed in intensive training once again.

"Come on, we're mastering the second technique. Soon, we'll be ready to develop the third!" exclaimed Luffy in the midst of aerial training with Zoro, both using the Geppo technique.

Little Laboon, already bonding with the group, joined the training room as well. Besides having the ability to breathe oxygen, Luffy had a bubble machine for him to wear around his waist, similar to Megalo. This way, Laboon could communicate with his new shark friend and participate in the training.

Luffy also instructed little Laboon to train; his head was already powerful due to years of hitting the rocks on the Red Line, so his training focused on Shigan to use his head, and Luffy would teach Tekkai soon after.

During a simulated battle, Luffy wielded a sword that Zoro had acquired in the Goa Kingdom. He now had all three original swords after obtaining two more in Loguetown, but he had taken one earlier from the Goa Kingdom's vault – the Benihime, a beautiful sword that Luffy currently had in his hands, as the captain didn't have a weapon.

Despite not having a specific grade, the blade was as powerful as high-grade swords. Luffy, with his keen insight, realized that in this vast world, some weapons were notable not just for their assigned grade but for their unquestionable strength.

The captain reflected on the renowned swords in the world, each with its own history and reputation. However, his knowledge was limited to the list he had discovered in his memories from the original work.

Now, there were two swords escaping Luffy's knowledge on the list: the Tensa Zangetsu, classified as a lost-grade hundreds of years ago, which Luffy had gifted to Kuina; and the Benihime, acquired by Zoro.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Meanwhile, three days had passed, and the group continued their rigorous training aboard the Black Pearl. They developed another technique of the Six Styles, further enhancing their skills repertoire. The group focused on Geppo and Soru began to incorporate attack and defense techniques, exploring new combat possibilities. Alvida, still learning Geppo, extended her knowledge in this area, while the rest of the group dedicated themselves to mobility techniques, refining their abilities to face the challenges that this sea held for them.

Luffy observed the 2 billion manual with curious eyes as he mentally reviewed his crew's progress. Sitting in a corner of the room, immersed in his thoughts, he reflected on how the training in the East Blue had accelerated everyone's adaptation to the techniques described there. The crew members were exceptionally well in assimilating the newly acquired skills and perfecting them.

"I think everyone is getting the hang of these techniques faster than I expected," Luffy muttered to himself, a satisfied expression on his face. The initial training proved to be a solid foundation, and he could feel the growing confidence in each of them.

However, his thoughts turned to future challenges. "Training with Haki is approaching. Even though Crocodile and Enel don't worry me much, Aokiji and Teach... these guys are a different problem with other Logias each. Teach, especially, may seem underestimated, but I must not ignore his strength. He's an unknown, and we can't afford to underestimate our future opponents."

Luffy closed the manual and turned his attention to the woman in front of him.

"Finally, you put down that book..." Alvida was kneeling in front of him, performing oral sex; he was studying when he entered his cabin, and the bold woman began to take off his pants, teasing him in the last 2 minutes.

"Well, there's a woman wanting my attention right now; it's time to treat her as she deserves." Luffy said, grabbing Alvida and throwing her on the table before undressing her.

2 hours later, Luffy was again out of his cabin with the call of his crew.

"We're finally approaching Whisky Peak, Luffy!" Yamato announced, approaching the captain with evident enthusiasm in her eyes.

"Great. Bring the prisoners out!" Luffy ordered, addressing Zoro and Usopp, who promptly headed to the inner part of the ship in search of the two captives, whose chains echoed with each step.

As the Black Pearl approached the island, Luffy joined the crew on the deck, watching Whisky Peak emerge on the horizon. The island stood out with its peculiarity, divided by the sea as if cut like a thin river, while giant cacti adorned its landscape in all regions of the island.

"What are we going to do here, Luffy?" Alvida came to his side, asking her curious question, as Luffy had not answered why he came here among all possible places; he had all the eternal pose now.

"Hahaha. Soon you'll know." Luffy had a mischievous and mysterious smile, well aware of the turbulence he could cause in this place.
