Third Person POV

Skypiea.

...

...

In the East Blue, an island shook as two figures dashed toward each other, clashing and releasing a wave of haki all around as each tried to best the other in this confrontation. The island rocked until one of them lost, being thrown backward as his body dragged dirt and trees before colliding with a mountain in the middle of the place. Luffy sighed as his body was buried among all that rubble.

''I'm not at grandpa's level yet...'' Luffy murmured internally as he felt himself struck by future sight the next second.

"Luffy... don't go soft, you brat!!!" Garp appeared at that moment, digging through the earth behind Luffy and emerging in front of him.

Luffy immediately tried to retaliate, but in the next moment, he was struck again, his body digging even deeper into the ground, while from the outside view, the entire mountain began to crumble.

Luffy fell into a huge underground cavern, as he got back on his feet, his fists immediately layered more haki before he dodged Garp's next move entering the underground cavern trying to hit him. He moved in a counter a moment later as Garp, without time to react to this move from Luffy, crossed his arms in defense and was sent backward with his grandson's punch, breaking several walls as he continued advancing through the underground caverns. Luffy did not stay still and this time advanced against his grandfather as the latter was already prepared for him in the next moment, and both began to fight amid those natural underground constructions beneath the island.

The whole place trembled as more and more shocks between Grandfather and Grandson's hakis hit each other, and they kept descending further as a lake of lava appeared in the middle of the fight due to their deep descent, each trying to outdo the other. Even though Luffy was slightly less effective than his grandfather, he did not back down as he continued to strike against him.

The explosions continued the entire time as Luffy and Garp kept going through the lava below sea level, the entire island trembling as animals began to flee, and once again, one side of the earth burst open on the surface as Luffy and Garp emerged fighting each other. Hours continued while they again returned to the island's underground, causing it to shake more than ever, and neither of them noticed as not just hours passed, but days continued with both solely focused on the fight.

Ships passed nearby, but no one dared approach with the explosions being heard from a distance, even the sea becoming choppy with it, deterring any curious onlookers from taking a risk.

Luffy and Garp spent 7 days fighting each other until they finally decided to stop after exhaustion. Luffy stood in front of the fire, his arm broken and his face covered in marks with bruised eyes.

Garp stood close to him while maintaining his face with one of the eyes bruised as well, he did not come out unscathed, although he managed to fare better than Luffy.

"You really have become strong, kid... but you still have a lot to learn! Buahahahahaha!" Garp began to laugh.

Luffy just stayed silent, not disagreeing with his grandfather. "It's true..." He then spoke as soon as his grandfather stopped laughing, "But that doesn't mean I won't surpass you in the future. So wait for me, Grandpa. I'm going to beat you." He broke into a smile.

"I'll be waiting for that." Garp also smiled as they spent another night on that uninhabited island, apart from the animals, to recover their energies from the start of the fight over the last 7 days, and they went to sleep.

"I did this for you..." Garp approached Luffy the next morning with a sheet.

"This?" Luffy murmured, surprised as he took the sheet with observations from his grandfather about his strengths and weaknesses, where he needed to develop, and where he needed to train even more to overcome his combat deficiencies.

"I know the King of Darkness is teaching Lucy, as you told me, but I'd like you to have my approval, after all, you are still my grandson..." Garp said, returning to a melancholic tone.

"Thank you... I guess..." Luffy murmured awkwardly.

"I'm trying to make sure you don't die... you have powerful eyes on you now... so protect Lucy and my future granddaughters!" He immediately demanded.

"I'm heading to Loguetown then... thanks, Grandpa..." Luffy murmured in the end before hugging Garp in the middle of the almost entirely destroyed island.

"Take care, Luffy..." Garp commented.

"Will you stay in Goa?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, I have one more week off before I go back to the navy. You're lucky I'm on vacation, otherwise you'd be heading to Impel Down..." Garp said with a cocky smile.

"You talk as if you could really catch me..." Luffy mocked.

"You..." Garp ended up not finishing his sentence.

With things now calmer, the animals began to emerge from their hiding spots. Trying to see if those two were gone, a monkey and a lioness approached the beach and were surprised to find both the two monsters that had been destroying the island until a few hours ago, standing in front of each other while sleeping upright.

Both animals looked at each other, lost, as they started to leave so as not to wake them, returning to their hiding spot hoping the two would leave the island.

Luffy and Garp continued to nap, possibly due to exhaustion from fighting for 7 consecutive days, the sun raced across the entire sky as it disappeared in the east and with the moon, the same thing happened. It was only the next day that one of them finally woke up.

Shanks elsewhere just sighed looking at the sky, and in the middle of the sea in the last territory of the Yonkou, a small boat navigated to another giant ship, the blond in the small boat smiled as he approached Moby Dick after seeing that the Whitebeard pirates did not attack him, waiting to see who it was.

"Finally, we are going to meet again... Ace..." Sabo commented eagerly for their reunion.

Already miles away, at a high altitude, four elderly men suddenly felt something at that moment. "This?!"

"Im-Sama has awakened!" the four elders exclaimed as they went to see the being who ruled the world.

End of this volume, post-credits scene.

The destruction was everywhere, thousands of bodies lying on the ground, in this scene of chaos and cruelty, another crowd was gathered, there were more than 10,000 people looking at a ship stopped with a man wearing his straw hat on his head.

"We finally managed to get where we wanted," Luffy said to everyone effortlessly, looking at all his fleet companions who fought by his side in this war.

They finally managed to establish their position in the New World, and he wanted to redeclare to the world his crew after reading a specific Poneglyph on their journey so far.

"From now on, we will no longer be known as the Straw Hat Pirates," Luffy said, as he took his hat and placed it on Lucy's head, who had been by his side the entire time.

"Luffy...? Your hat?" She asked, bewildered.

Luffy just smiled at Lucy. "It's yours now." He declared, finally passing on the hat of Joygirl, something that should have been hers a long time ago, but Luffy knew that Shanks had passed it to him to pass it to her when the time came.

He turned to the crowd, ignoring his still dazed sister and continued speaking as his red haki manifested for tens of kilometers, reaching even the World Government ships in the middle of the sea just watching the battle from afar. "From now on, we will be known as the Dawn Pirates Crew, the Ds!" He said as his voice reached everyone within the range of his haki.
