[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]

Third Person POV

In many places of the world

...

...

The news of the meteoric rise and exploits of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew spread like a gale, crossing all oceans and islands, reaching the most distant and unexpected places in the world. The stories of their adventures in Alabasta and beyond sparked a shockwave that reverberated around the globe, eliciting a variety of reactions among listeners.

...

...

In a bustling port of a large commercial city in the South Blue, amidst the noise and bustle of merchants and sailors, news of Luffy circulated from mouth to mouth. "Have you heard about Straw Hat? He captured a Vice Admiral and two Shichibukais on an island at the beginning of the Grand Line!" exclaimed a sailor while unloading boxes from a ship. His colleagues paused for a moment, their expressions ranging from astonishment to disbelief. In such a world-connected city, the news of a rookie pirate so boldly defying the authorities was both terrifying and thrilling.

In the same sea, in a small, unknown fishing village on a time-worn pier, a group of elderly fishermen examined the newspaper, their expressions varying between shock and admiration. "Look at this! That kid Luffy is turning the world upside down," commented one, his eyes wide behind foggy glasses.

"Imagine, capturing a vice-admiral and two Shichibukais! What will become of us if he shows up here?" questioned another, fear clear in his voice.

"Don't be foolish, he's on the Grand Line... Why would he come here?!" exclaimed another elder.

...

...

In a small village in the interior of a peaceful island in the West Blue, far from the chaos of the big centers, news of Luffy arrived more slowly but still made a significant impact. "They say he has the power to turn into a fire demon," commented an elder, sitting in the shade of a tree while children around listened with wide eyes. The stories of Luffy and his crew turned into legends, inspiring both fear and admiration in the villagers' hearts.

In a bustling market on a commercial island, merchants and buyers bustled among stalls of exotic fruits and colorful fabrics, but conversations were dominated by a single topic. "Luffy, the Straw Hat... Is he really going to bring changes to the world?" questioned a merchant as he passed oranges to a customer.

"Who knows? But one thing is certain, he's causing quite a stir," responded the customer, their eyes quickly scanning the newspaper they held.

...

...

In a Marine academy somewhere in the North Blue, even among those who swore to defeat piracy, stories of Luffy caused a frenzy. "Have you heard? He's got a bounty of 500 million now!" said a young recruit, his eyes glowing with a mix of fear and excitement. "Will we ever have to face him?" questioned another, the idea of pursuing such a notorious pirate both terrifying and exhilarating.

In a tavern on the sea on a winter island, rough and fierce pirates gathered around wooden tables, drinking and discussing the latest news. "You heard? That kid Luffy is making waves. They say he even captured Jimbei and Crocodile as a trophy!" said one, a crooked smile on his face.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

"That's insanity. Those Grand Line pirates are on another level..." responded another, his face somber in the candlelight.

...

...

In a gloomy pirate den somewhere on the Grand Line, even among the most feared and respected pirates in the world, Luffy's actions caused unrest. "This kid is causing too much trouble. Maybe it's time someone showed him how things work around here," growled a notoriously cruel pirate, as his companions murmured in agreement. Luffy's feats challenged not only the Navy and the World Government but also stirred the delicate balance of power among the pirates themselves.

In an isolated mountainous village on the same sea, "Did you see this, mom?" a young boy ran up to his mother, holding a worn newspaper. "This pirate Luffy is doing incredible things!"

The mother, a woman with a gentle face and hands calloused from work, looked at the newspaper and sighed. "Pirates will always be pirates. I hope he doesn't bring trouble to our village."

Around the world, in taverns and halls, in markets and palaces, news of Luffy and his companions traveled fast and provoked a myriad of reactions. Some saw him as a hero, a symbol of freedom and defiance against oppressive power. Others saw him as a threat, a danger that needed to be eliminated. Regardless of how people perceived him.

...

Among the pirates and criminals of the East Blue, there was a mix of respect, envy, and fear. Luffy had done what many dreamed of but never dared to try. "Does he really think he can challenge the entire world?" questioned a veteran pirate, drinking in a gloomy tavern. "He represents the East Blue, he's one of us, a true pirate!" exclaimed another, raising his drink in a toast to the young man who was turning the world upside down. "As if we could do something like that..." another mocked without joining the celebration.

Throughout the East Blue, stories of Luffy circulated with impressive speed, each new narrative increasing his reputation as a figure of immense power and courage. His acts of defiance and freedom instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies and inspired those who dreamed of following their own paths. For better or for worse, Luffy had left an indelible mark on the East Blue, and the waves of his actions would continue to spread for a long time.

Raccoon here: I know the chapter didn't move forward, but my draft here ended up with 8k words just to cover all the reactions from various places around the world, so I decided to split it into 3 parts. I don't know about you, but I've always enjoyed chapters where the world reacts to the MC.
