Third Person POV

Sabaody.

...

...

“What happened...” The so-called Straw Hat awoke at this moment, while he calmly stood up with everyone in the bar not moving an inch since that stranger left the bar—and it has been 20 minutes.

The questions about what happened were on Straw Hat's mind as he touched his head with some pain, and all his crew members also stood up at this moment.

“Does anyone know what happened, tell me immediately!!” He exclaimed, looking at the people in the bar, but everyone was too afraid to answer.

“Nobody knows... Lord Straw Hat... that stranger simply did something and left the bar, no one knows where he went...” The bartender replied, trembling.

“Tsk!! Where did that bastard go!! Let's look for him!!!” The supposed Straw Hat exclaimed as his entire crew nodded, leaving with frustration, leaving the bartender aside, going after this man who humiliated him, something he would not let pass.

Meanwhile, powerful people were getting ever closer to Sabaody. The man with the cloak, moving calmly, continued walking through the streets and entering the forest of giant trees, looking for a place to sit after going to an open side of the area.

He finally found a place near some old structures of abandoned buildings. There were a few groups in that place, but he kept his distance. He removed his cape, revealing his own Monkey D. Luffy—or at least the real one. Smiling after settling down, Luffy took another bottle out of the system to drink immediately after.

He had gone to that bar just out of curiosity, wanting to meet the iconic crew that was impersonating the Straw Hats in the original work. Although surprised that they had appeared a year earlier than expected, he understood the situation. After all, the Straw Hat had accumulated so much fame and power in his name that they did not want to wait two years of inactivity to emerge with their flag.

He wondered who would appear in that square soon, so he decided to wait and see. After all, this would be a good opportunity to start recruiting some groups that interested him for his fleet, if they pleased him.

He remained there, feeling someone approaching. A woman descended from the sky with her white dress and approached Luffy. She looked where he was, observing how a crowd was beginning to form in that space.

"What are you doing here?" Uta asked, squatting down next to him.

"I'm just enjoying Sabaody," Luffy simply said while drinking.

"I see. But then, you don't mind if I stay by your side, right?" she asked.

Luffy just smiled while wrapping his arm around her waist, placing her by his side. Uta eventually moved her head to her husband's shoulder, both watching the square calmly.

The search for the supposed Straw Hat by the mysterious man ended up being a frustration for the fake pirates. Quickly, having no results, they called through the Den Den Mushi and asked everyone to meet at the location mentioned in the poster ahead of time. After all, the recruitment would begin soon.

The crowd began to grow while Luffy continued at a distance, along with Uta, watching more and more groups gathering. "Wait, this is what we saw in the recruitment paper those people are pretending to be you and many of our crew," Uta murmured in surprise now seeing what this crowd of pirates gathering here was about..

"Yes, it will start soon," Luffy spoke before opening a smile, before he glanced at the crowd a bit surprised by who was there. "So he is here," he murmured with the appearance of some members he did not believe he would see there this year.

"If that mud guy is here... I won't treat them like the Straw Hat did in the original," he decided and waited.

Then, after a while, the crowd went into a frenzy with the arrival of the main group, as the supposed Straw Hat approached the place.

"They are," Uta murmured.

"Yes, let's see what they are going to do," Luffy said. At any moment, he could simply unleash his King's Haki and knock down the whole group, but he found it amusing. He also began to sense the approach of the Navy, which was starting to encircle the area, even some sailors trying to come to where he was. Unseen, he released an invisible wave of Haki, and the whole group of sailors who might encounter him as they advanced to the crowd, while he still observed the meeting.

"Listen up everyone!" the supposed Straw Hat exclaimed, already on stage, with his crew behind him, addressing the entire crowd.

"Today, you will have the honor of joining my fleet, where we will immediately head to the New World for the first time and dominate the entire sea, with no one able to stop us! You will be part of the crew that conquered the sea. Remember this and the opportunity I am giving you!" He began his speech, all arrogant, while the captains in the crowd felt most excited by it, while others had darker intentions with this supposed Straw Hat. It wasn't a surprise, after all, taking down the Straw Hat would bring great fame.

He continued exclaiming his words when, suddenly, he went to the edge of the stage and started on the matter that weighed on his heart: "Listen up everyone! There's someone on this island who dared to challenge me. I want you to help me look for him. He wears a cloak covering his body. I want you to look for all the people wearing that kind of thing in Sabaody. Whoever manages to do this will join the main crew, are we understood?" He exclaimed, as everyone quickly raised their arms, smiling greedily.

But before he could continue his speech, screams began coming from all sides, while sailors emerged from the hills and the trees, positioning their rifles and swords against the entire group.

"The Navy is here!" they shouted.

Immediately, the fake Straw Hat clenched his teeth and yelled, "Don't let them get close! Let them know the power of Straw Hat and how we deal with those who dare to challenge us! Stop all of them!"

"Yes...! Take that, Navy!"

"Do you dare to challenge us?!"

While the supposed Straw Hat stayed on the stage, a battle began on all sides, except where the original Luffy was, between pirates and sailors. The sound of swords and gunfire filled the air, but the pirates were quite powerful and quickly began to win, with their captains with bounties above 50 million going to fight.

"Well, it looks like this guy was pretending to be me," Luffy spoke calmly, appearing behind Sentomaru and the pacifistas without anyone being able to perceive or follow his speed. Luffy looked at the fake Straw Hat with interest, as everyone around kept their eyes fixed on him, holding their breath.

"A real emperor..." They murmured trembling in the presence of Luffy, who had a very different atmosphere from the one who was pretending to be him.

"I can't even breathe or move... so this is what it's like to see someone who is at the top of this world in strength...?"

The pirates continued to comment among themselves, while the sailors sweated, believing they would die there; even the agents, previously confident, took a step back, knowing that if they were dealing with the real Straw Hat, death was certain for everyone there.

"It's good to see you back, Sentomaru, but I'm going to take a few members here and then I'll take my leave," Luffy spoke calmly and even politely in a playful tone.

Sentomaru was very scared now, and before he could react, a burst of Haki erupted from Luffy. Immediately, the entire place was enveloped, expanding across the island, while Uta's twin capes at a distance immediately flew backwards with the force of the Haki sweeping through every corner. At Shakky's bar, everyone immediately felt the Haki and raised their heads in the direction it came from, wondering what Luffy was doing.

The entire island began to be enveloped by his Haki and in the next moment, everyone at that place began to fall, whether pirates with bounties of hundreds of thousands, government agents, or even Sentomaru and the Navy. No one resisted his Haki and fell to the ground in the next moment.

Luffy saw the sound of bodies falling everywhere, but two beings were still standing in front of Luffy. Being machines, the pacifistas were not affected by the Haki, which only affects living beings in their souls.

Luffy looked at the pacifistas as they opened their mouths to attack him. But, in the next moment, their bodies were crushed with someone appearing on top of them and punching them with both arms wrapped in haki.

Uta landed as they exploded approaching Luffy, she had defeated two pacifistas with one blow. "I thought you didn't want to draw attention, but I was wrong," she murmured.

"Well, I had no choice. After all, someone interesting is coming this way," Luffy murmured, having already sensed the presence of this being even before releasing his Haki. He simply used his strength to draw her here, and that's exactly what happened.

Something fell from the sky like a meteor, near them, making Uta look up, slightly scared, feeling that she could not defeat this person while her instincts told her to flee. Meanwhile, Luffy calmly looked at the debris and smoke being dispersed, revealing a beautiful blonde tenryuubito woman with four wings on her back.

"You..." the woman spoke looking at him angrily.

"I don't know who you are, but I didn't know the tenryuubitos could produce someone so beautiful," Luffy commented, looking at the beautiful woman who stared at him as if he were already dead.
