East Blue.

"We shouldn't be doing this..." Woop Slap commented, looking at the crowd partying in front of him.
"Long live!! Long live!!!" Queen Makino celebrated, clapping for the crowd and joining in their celebration.
Instead of the Goa Kingdom looking at this with gloomy eyes due to the overwhelming defeat of mine, they seemed to be celebrating while the whole country was partying in the streets.
"Yokatta!!" Dadan was crying out loud in the middle. "Yokatta!" She continued to exclaim while her tears seemed endless. She saw Ace being saved, but soon fell into despair when she saw Luffy being impaled by that monster that appeared at the end. Dadan believed Luffy would die there and screamed in despair in that square, while Makino had tears in her eyes and everyone from Foosha was desperate, watching Luffy in that condition.
But then he overcame his adversary, shattered Marineford... he had come out victorious, while she cried and exclaimed, her companions from her hideout who saw those children grow up also shared their tears.
"My queen... we shouldn't be so open about favoring a pirate..." A minister cautiously said.
"Don't you see that they're coming out of that place alive... of course we have to celebrate!" Makino said with tears in her eyes, while the minister sighed.
The city was filled with posters of Luffy and Ace everywhere, while even the nobles exclaimed joyfully. Nobody there knew if Makino was truly the wife of the red-haired Yonkou, but they certainly knew that Monkey D. Luffy was the patron behind the curtains of this kingdom. So it was quite normal for people to have this attitude, but it didn't change the fact that they were cheering for a pirate too.
But it wasn't just the Goa Kingdom celebrating at this moment, after all, the entire East Blue was in festivity at this time. It's not like all the islands knew what had happened, but certainly everyone went to Loguetown to watch the live broadcast and managed to see as any other important point in the world.
"How could they have done this, those damned! They led Chouchou astray!!!!" The mayor exclaimed angrily, kicking the ground while some members from Orange Town who accompanied him looked on with worried eyes.
'When that damned pirate said he would take him and said Chouchou would have a bounty soon, I thought he was joking after all a dog shouldn't have a bounty.' He muttered internally, unbelieving that until a little while ago, he was seeing Chouchou transforming into a three-headed monster and massacring marines.
"But, mayor, they managed to get out fine..." A citizen said cautiously.
"Fine? Did you see what happened to Chouchou?" The man pointed to the turned-off screen. "He was knocked out by that other old man. If he were in front of me, I would beat him with this cane," the man said, after Chouchou had been knocked out by Saturn along with Hugo and Chopper.
"But, mayor," one of the citizens murmured scared, "you're talking about a government elder! He's one of those who rule the world. I thought they were just myths."
"Do I care if he is one of those elders?! He hurt Chouchou, I should have beaten him up, but that straw hat pirate got there first..." The man spoke, pointing to the comet in the sky.
And his citizens just sighed at the grumpy mayor, despite not believing his words.
"And that damned pirate who attacked our town was there too! I wanted to hit him, because that straw hat prevented Chouchou from eating him!!" He said at the end, dissatisfied that Luffy prevented Chouchou from killing Buggy.
"Did you see Usopp, Merry?!" Kaya exclaimed excitedly now that the war had ended.
"I saw. It really was a tough fight," Merry murmured, still shell-shocked, wondering how those people who visited their island just a few months ago and, despite the Captain mercilessly beating Kuro of a Hundred Plans in disguise, had become as powerful as those people they saw today.
These were people who could decimate the entire island. That punch from Luffy to the elder was so fast that almost no one saw it, but the effects were terrifying. He trembled with fear just imagining taking a punch from him.
"Merry!!" Kaya called him as she tried to talk to him again, stuck in his thoughts.
"AHHHH!!" a woman let out a scream, while beside her, a man raised his sword.
"The navy lost, the Whitebeard pirates got what they wanted, but the one who won the war was Monkey D. Luffy, even with the entire navy, an elder, and 2 Yonkou on the battlefield! To the sea, men, it's time for us to make our name," He exclaimed and a group of pirates who had recently set out to sea in the East Blue shouted, wanting to go to the New World at that moment.
"Yes, let's dominate those waters too. If the Straw Hats could do it in a few months, we can also become powerful," they exclaimed, and the group began to leave the square, making everyone cautious, clearing their way. They headed to their ship confidently.
Meanwhile, there were other groups that had a slightly different thought. "Let's find Monkey D. Luffy. Let's join his crew. We can't miss this chance. This era belongs to the Straw Hat, and as pirates from the East Blue as well, he will surely accept us," another excitedly exclaimed.
This quickly became an epidemic, even bounty hunters and even non-pirates began to exclaim wanting to go to sea after the navy's defeat, it only started where there were screens in the East Blue, but soon the whole sea would know what happened at Marineford and this sea would become chaos with people inspired by Luffy.
