"You are the old man Ace is so fond of... you seem like a nice guy...." Lucy commented, sitting beside Luffy.
"Gurarara. And you are Lucy, Ace spoke very highly of his two brothers," Newgate spoke calmly.
"Not just us, there's one more," Luffy smiled at that.
"Sabo! I can't wait to see him soon! Shishishishi," Lucy said with an excited smile.
"We'll meet soon," Luffy smiled, and his gaze fell on Whitebeard. "Anyway, we are heading to Fish-Man Island, I'm sure Neptune will throw a grand feast," Luffy said.
"He will, but do you think the man will easily accept you there after you kidnapped his daughter?" Whitebeard asked with a smile.
"Of course, I'll ask her father for her hand in marriage," Luffy declared.
"What, you're getting married?!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
"I can't imagine that guy's face, but it will surely be fun," Whitebeard continued with his smile.
"There's that, but there are also other things that need to be done there," Luffy said with a serious tone while Whitebeard had a serious glint in his eyes.
"What are you talking about, kid?" he asked.
"Fish-Man Island is casting a shadow that will soon cover the island in a civil war, I told this to Shira the first time we met," Luffy commented before continuing. "There's a person named Hody Jones who is forming a group of fish-men with ideologies starting from a fish-man named Arlong, one my navigator killed in the East Blue. Even though he was weak, he still managed to plant an ideology of fish-men hating humans, treating them as inferior beings. This guy is also behind the death of Queen Otohime," Luffy said, while Lucy remained silent this time.
Whitebeard looked very serious, "Jimbei had mentioned something about this..."
"It won't be something that happens now, they might act in a few years, but I want Shira to handle it, after all, this is her land and she is now ready for it..." Luffy said.
"If the girl can handle it, then it's fine..." Whitebeard, despite having Fish-Man Island as his territory, wouldn't prevent his princess from dealing with the issues.
"Another thing also... I intend to move Fish-Man Island to the surface," Luffy stated seriously.
"Do you think you can?" Whitebeard asked, knowing the old dream of the sea folk, they wanted to coexist with humans on the surface.
"You know I have Shiki's power in my crew, I'm planning to bring multiple kingdoms together when I head to the new world," Luffy shared some of his plans.
"When will you sail these waters, kid?" Whitebeard asked.
"Soon, but I plan to train for some time, I'm without my devil fruits at the moment, it will be an opportunity to enhance my haki and body," Luffy said, he wouldn't need to rely so much on his fruits anymore.
"I see... so you had a negative reaction... you really were scary to deal with that old government guy... and to think they were so strong... I don't know why they weren't sent to GodVilley..." Whitebeard reminisced about his youth.
"I had to make extreme decisions, but I didn't even have full control of my awakened form... The only thing on my mind was to kill that elder," Luffy admitted.
"Anyway... I don't know what would have happened if you had shown up at Marineford," Whitebeard admitted, looking up, with the comet still illuminating the morning sky.
"A rookie with such a bounty... it's absurd... but there's nothing to be done," Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro murmured.
"A bounty unprecedented for a man who has done unprecedented things..." Saint Marcus Mars said in a serious tone.
"Even though this is the official bounty... it won't be all after all, we the Tenryuubitos will not let this pass easily and will put Monkey D. Luffy's head on the black market," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said.
"..." Sengoku and Kong remained silent, as Luffy's photo was printed on the table for everyone to see, his bounty starting with a 3 followed by several digits. The crew of Monkey D. Luffy became the most wanted in the world.
"In such a situation, I believe we should call him..." Saint Topman Warcury commented.
"No, we should not bother him," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter advised and the others agreed, although Kong and Sengoku didn't know who they were talking about, but they certainly wouldn't ask these four.
As the elders spoke, Luffy's bounty was not just limited to that; after all, the Tenryuubitos throughout Mery Geoise, enraged by what they had witnessed, began to call all their contacts, further increasing Luffy's bounty. Luffy might not be the most wanted man in the world officially, but as the Tenryuubitos began to gather money to kill him through the underworld, he surpassed his father, becoming truly the most wanted person in the world, despite having 6 common Tenryuubitos and 2 warrior Tenryuubitos hearts under his custody.
Unaware of his official bounty and total bounty, two Black Pearls sailed underwater with Whitebeard's fleet, as finally, Fish-Man Island began to appear in front of them; they had finally arrived.
