New World.

"Mr. Luffy, I am a bit tired," Rebecca's voice sounded from behind Luffy as she clung tightly to his neck. With a soldier behind her, the girl had a slight blush on her face.
Luffy nodded, understanding that this girl, who had been traveling through the night, was exhausted and needed some rest.
"Alright, let's find a ship." Luffy said and continued across the open sea. They spotted a pirate ship in a corner and advanced towards it in the next moment.
"Let's choose an island to replenish our supplies before going further into this sea!!!" The captain with a 40 million Berries bounty exclaimed as his crew raised their weapons.
This ship belonged to a pirate group that had just entered the New World, deciding to sail these waters after the battle in a strong manner, excited to conquer their own territories and make their name in this New Era. However, they did not expect an object at high speed to explode from the sky onto the deck, sinking the ship in the next moment.
As the ship returned to normal while rocking uncontrollably, the pirates quickly panicked, with most of them falling to the ground unbalanced by the impact.
"What is that?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Where is it?!!"
The pirates quickly exclaimed various words in fear, looking for any ship that might have fired that cannonball at them.
"Wait, there's someone there," someone shouted, pointing a finger at the explosion, seeing a shadow emerging from the debris of the wood.
As Luffy stepped out from that spot, he appeared in front of them, staring them down, all the men quickly raised their swords at him with a look of caution and anger for invading their ship.
Rebecca was already on the ground, approaching him cautiously, waiting for Luffy to deal with the pirates.
It was then that the pirates finally realized who was in front of them with his distinctive face and straw hat.
Many began to tremble immediately. "That's Monkey D. Luffy!"
"The Yonkou without territories!!"
"The pirate with a bounty of 3,500,000,000 berries."
Quickly, exclamations were heard as Luffy scratched his nose, bored with this new way people had of reacting to him now.
"Drop your weapons! Do you think we can fight him?" The captain quickly shouted, making all his men drop their swords, not wanting to present a threat to this monster.
As the captain rubbed his hands, he approached Luffy. "How can I help you, Lord Luffy? As you can see, we are newly arrived pirates from the New World. Perhaps you would like to recruit us into your fleet?" He asked, knowing very well that he couldn't face the monster of Marineford; they were just ants compared to what they saw in the war.
Luffy looked at him calmly while shaking his head.
"I'm not recruiting at the moment," Luffy was direct. "I want you to bring me food and water and also a female outfit. I'm tired of feeling these irons resounding on my back," Luffy murmured while Rebecca blushed even more at this comment.
"Hey, what do you think you're talking about my daughter?" The toy soldier immediately shouted, but Luffy didn't care and continued looking at the pirates.
The group quickly started to move after that, and Luffy and the others waited for the pirates to bring what was requested quite quickly and obediently, complying with Luffy's demands to avoid offending him.
"Lord Luffy, we have prepared a great banquet for you, your girl, and your pet." The pirate captain said, trying to be as polite as possible.
"Who are you calling a pet?" The toy soldier immediately shouted, but Luffy just smiled and began to eat. Rebecca ended up joining him as they sat by the deck.
"Well, it looks like you were trying to escape from me, but you wouldn't get far," Luffy commented while breaking into Caesar's cell, dragging him out with an expression of fear and anger, also grabbing Monet, leaving only Gladius in one of the cells.
"Why are you taking me too?" Monet asked. She could understand him taking her from Punk Hazard, but now directly, and even so, he still insisted on taking her.
"Well, I need an assistant. Vivi can't handle everything alone," Luffy said, and Monet looked at him strangely, not remembering agreeing to obey at any point, but Luffy didn't care.
He went back outside, reflecting. "I only have two hands, I can't take everyone at once like this..." he murmured until he looked at Caesar, who stared at him with a glint in his eyes, while the mad scientist did not like that at all.
In the next moment, Caesar found himself tied in a chain, while Luffy grabbed Monet and Rebecca by the waist, with a third woman tied to his back. Rebecca was holding the toy soldier.
Then Luffy jumped into the air and started to ascend while Caesar screamed as he was pulled by a chain in the air, trying not to curse due to the humiliation. Luffy left Gladius still in the prison with Doflamingo's subordinates to free him. Luffy had nothing more to do with them and proceeded to the first part of the Grand Line.
"Mr. Luffy, why are you taking this marine?" Rebecca couldn't help but ask, looking strangely at Gion being carried by Luffy unconsciously.
"I didn't want to leave her here alone, in a place full of pirates, while the marines are down. I'm doing this for her safety," Luffy said, thinking of dropping her off at Sabaody.
And so he continued. He did not pass through the middle of the Red Line, which would be the shortest route to Sabaody. However, there was Mary Geoise, and he certainly would not be welcomed if seen by the Gorosei. So, he followed around several kilometers of the city until he passed to the side of the Paradise, in the middle of the Calm Belt, almost entering the East Blue, and then proceeded to his final destination on his Eternal Pose, which was Sabaody. He only had these destinations on his three Eternal Poses: Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, and Sabaody, finally heading to the last point to finish his journey and its final details before returning to Skypiea.
