Thunder Demon Luffy's

Chapter 105's

** back with Luffy **

Luffy was currently showing a satisfied smile on his face, as he looked at the scene in front of him. He was currently standing on the edge of a giant 30-foot-wide crater that was split right in the middle. To be honest it looked like a God who had just used a knife and split a part of the desert. Standing at the side was Luffy's new subordinate who was trying to process what they had just witnessed. The cafe they were at before was now a pile of wood. The cafe had collapsed due to an earthquake caused by Luffy.

"It looks like you're not the only one learning some new tricks, Isaac," Luffy said as he stared at the man lying on his back on the sand covered in blood, on the other side of the crater. Isaac chuckled and coughed up blood at the same time before he replied to Luffy.

"Yeah, I think I'm in too much of a hurry .. again," Isacc said before he coughed up blood. Luffy simply chuckled and shook his head before he started walking towards Isaac.

"You've always been a stubborn idiot" Luffy joked, walking over. When he reached Isaac, Luffy reached out his hand and Isaac grabbed Luffy's hand then pulled himself up to his feet. As he stood up, Isaac reinserted his wings before he spoke to Luffy.

"Damn, you're still like the monster I remember" Isaac said, causing Luffy to laugh.

"Do you need medical help?" Luffy asked as he looked at the deep slash wound on Isaac's chest.

"No" Isaac replied before he lifted his right hand over his wound. "I can handle it," Isaac added as his palm let out a yellow glow and Isaac brought his hand closer to the wound on his chest, causing the wound to heal instantly not even leaving a scar. "I think this is one of the abilities to be an angel" said Isaac as he combed his hair with his hands.

"Alright, then," Luffy said with a smile. Both of their faces then turned serious and they began to speak in a slow voice, so that no one else could hear their conversation.

"So, what do you really want me to do," Isaac said slowly enough that only Luffy could hear him.

"I can make you the leader in charge of my operations in one of the Oceans" Luffy replied in a low voice.

"I like it" Isaac replied with a smile. "And what should I do when I'm there?" She asked.

"Be responsible for everything I do there and keep my people and my merchandise safe," Luffy replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "And, recruit more people to work under you," Luffy added with a grin.

"If I didn't know you, I'd probably think you were building an army to try and take over the world" Isaac said, causing Luffy to laugh.

"One day we D-sharers will come out of hiding, and when I find One Piece, the world will go into a war no one has seen before," luffy said seriously.

"That sounds fun" replied the Angel of Death with a peek of spirit.

"You're going to be one of the commanders in my fleet" Luffy said, changing the subject. "The only people who have authority over you are my first crew and I" Luffy said, causing Isaac to nod his head. Luffy then turned to his new subordinate and spoke. "Jiro! Bon Clay!" Luffy shouted, drawing their attention. "He is now in charge of West Blue. You two obey his orders and he'll get orders from me. Understood?" Luffy explained, causing the two of them to nod their heads.

"Aye, sir!" both yell.

"Good, now just add the straw hat emblem on your flag and lead your new subordinate to the West Blue" Luffy told Isaac.

"It sounds like a plan," Isaac replied with a grin.

"Both will tell you what I told them" Luffy said, pointing at Jiro and Bon Clay.

"Okay" replied Isaac. Luffy then turned around and started walking towards his clouds.

"It's good to see you again, Isaac" said Luffy, waving his right hand as he walked towards the clouds.

"You said it just because you won!" Isaac shouted back, causing Luffy to laugh. He then jumped onto the clouds and gave one last wave before the clouds flew into the sky at a terrifying speed.

The cloud flew into the sky at a faster speed than when Luffy was with Johnny and Yosaku, it was because Luffy was alone in the clouds. Right now, Luffy did not have to worry about someone falling from the clouds or being blown away by the wind, only he was in the clouds, flying at a speed of about 300 kmph at an altitude of about 1000 feet in the air. It takes only 5 minutes to reach Alubarna. When Luffy and his crew entered Alubarna, the clouds began to slow down before finally coming to a complete stop just above the palace. Luffy then stood up and teleported to the main door of the palace where two royal guards were standing guard.

The two guards were startled when a lightning strike suddenly struck in front of them. Lightning shattered the concrete floor in front of them, and caused dust to fly, the 2 guards instantly raised their hands to protect their eyes. As the dust subsided, and they began to open their eyes, they saw the man who had defeated Crocodile and stopped the war. Of course the 2 guards did not know whether the person in front of them was right or not, as they were not at the scene when the man stopped the war, either, but out of all the rumors they heard, this man standing in front of them was very much in line with the description.

"Umm, my crew is inside the palace," said Luffy removing them from the daydream. "Can I come in?" Luffy asked as he looked at the two guards with a bored expression on his face. "The weather is a bit wet out here," added Luffy as he raised his hand, showing his soaked clothes.

"Oh yeah, of course, sorry!" the guard on the right apologized while lowering his head, followed by the guard on his left, causing Luffy to raise his eyebrows at seeing their reaction. The two guards then raised their heads and walked towards the giant door and pushed it open.

"Thank you" Luffy said before walking through the door. As Luffy walked through the door, he took off his wet captain's coat and hung it on his left arm, then he began to open one of his shirt buttons, thus showing off the lightning-shaped necklace around his neck. As he walked, one of the royal aides came to him and spoke.

"Mr Luffy!" the maid who was a young woman said while bowing, causing Luffy to raise his eyebrows. "Please follow me, I'll take you to your crew room" said the waiter.

"Thank you" Luffy replied with a smile. "And just call me Luffy" he added, not liking himself too much at being called 'Mr Luffy. "

"Of course, forgive me!" said the girl while bowing again, then the royal servant turned around and walked towards the palace medical room, where Luffy's crew was located. The two of them walked full of silence, however, Luffy could tell for what reason the girl was admiring him, Luffy felt that way seeing the girl in front of him constantly glancing at him every few seconds, Luffy felt like that, with a small red hue appearing on his face. Luffy ignored the behavior of the girl and continued walking silently. When they reached the front of the medical room, the girl pushed the two big doors and caught the attention of everyone inside. When the door opened, Luffy's entire crew saw one of the royal servants standing before the door with a hint of red hue on his face, confusing them all. The maid then stepped aside and lowered her head as Luffy walked in from the side with a coat hanging in his hand and walked straight into the room.

"Thank you" Luffy told the girl as he walked into the room. Before the young woman could answer Luffy, Nami, Nojiko, and Vivi screamed.

"Luffy!" the three girls shouted, shocking their captain and immediately dashed towards him with wide smiles on their faces. Luffy was very confused seeing this, but before he had time to clear his confusion, the three girls jumped towards Luffy and started to hug him.

"We heard a huge thunderstorm and felt the giant earthquake," Vivi said with a hint of tears.

"And then Zoro said you might be fighting someone stronger than Crocodile" Nojiko added.

"So, we're worried about you" Nami continued, causing Luffy to nod slowly.

"That's it," said Luffy as he tried to extricate himself from their embrace. "It's nice to know that the three of you have complete faith in me" Luffy said sarcastically.

"They were sure just a moment ago" Zoro said as he walked up to his captain. "By the way, where are Johnny and Yosaku?" Zoro asked, causing the three girls to let go of Luffy and look behind him in search of the two former Bounty hunters.

"They were on their way back to East Blue" said Luffy, surprising them all.

"What do you mean back to East Blue?" Usopp asked as he rose to a sitting position on his bed.

"I need someone I can trust to be in charge of my operations in East Blue, because that's where we all come from," luffy replied as he walked over to one of the empty beds and unbuttoned his shirt. "I believe in both of them, that's why I chose them" he added as he took off his shirt and hung it over the head of the bed.

"They can at least say goodbye," Sanji said as he stood up. Luffy walked over to another empty bed and hung his captain's coat to dry before he spoke.

"Calm down" said Luffy, turning around and looking at them. "It's not like you'll never see them again. When I go to check on the situation there, I'll invite some of you to go with me" Luffy said with a smile, making their facial expressions slightly bright. .

"So, who are you fighting?" Zoro asked while folding his hands.

"Old friend from New World," Luffy replied with a smile. "He's now in charge of my operation in the West Blue" he added.

"Ummm Luffy" said Vivi. "Why are you bare-chested," Vivi asked as she looked at her own feet with a slight hue on her face, trying not to stare at the bare-chested Luffy.

"Because I'm soaking wet," Luffy replied as he shrugged his shoulders, not paying too much attention to the Princess' blushing face.

"That's a nice necklace, Luffy," Nojiko said, causing Luffy to look down, at the lightning-shaped pendant around his neck before he replied.

"Yup, this is a gift from a good friend of mine," Luffy replied with a warm smile.

"Who is he?" usopp asked, but got a blow from Nami, for being disrespectful.

"This is a gift from Amazon Lily. I met him 8 years ago on an island that no longer exists" Luffy said, staring at the necklace. "He gave me this necklace as a gift for our meeting, and I gave him a similar necklace, too" added Luffy, not taking his eyes off the necklace even once. Luffy then realized that he had been staring at the necklace for too long and immediately shook his head, then he looked at his crew only to see that they were all also staring at him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Amazon Lily is a legendary island where all its inhabitants are female" said King Cobra from behind Luffy, drawing everyone's attention.

"That's right," Luffy replied as he looked over his shoulder.

"I have to say Luffy, you keep surprising me," said the king as he shook his head and walked towards Luffy.

"I often get such a response," Luffy replied with a smile. "How's your kingdom doing?" Luffy asked as he turned around and looked at the king.

"The whole region of Alabasta is having a party right now," said the king with a joyful smile on his face. "News of you and your crew defeating Crocodile spread far and wide. There are also a lot of reporters who want to interview you" he added, causing Luffy to grin.

‘It sounds like this will make Marine angry,’ thought Luffy with a grin on his face.

"That sounds fun" Luffy told the King with a grin. "When did they get here?" Luffy asked, while his crew knew very well that Luffy agreed to do this interview because he had a hidden plan in mind.

"Well, they're already here," said the king while laughing nervously.

"They're pretty fast," Luffy replied with a nod.

"Well, there's a journalist in every town in Alabasta. So the journalist in Alubarna is already in town, we just need to contact him" said the king, causing Luffy to nod before he replied.

"Can we do it today?" Luffy asked while looking at the king. "Thus we can have a party tomorrow" he added, causing the king to smile.

"Of course, I will send someone to call out to him," the King replied with a wide smile. Luffy nodded and walked towards his shirt then picked it up and put it on again.

"Umm, captain?" Nojiko caught his attention. "I think your clothes haven't dried yet" Nojiko said, causing Luffy to nod.

"Yup, you're right" Luffy replied as he put his hand into his sleeve. "However, I always forget that I can dry my clothes instantly," added Luffu as he walked towards his coat and attached it over his shoulder. After that, Luffy's entire body was wrapped in lightning bolts for two seconds before returning to normal. When the lightning disappeared, everyone saw Luffy standing there with his clothes completely dry and a thick steam coming out of his clothes. "Done, now everything is completely dry" Luffy said before he started buttoning his shirt, leaving the top two buttons unbuttoned. Luffy then walked over to one of the beds and lay down before looking at his crew.

"So, what were you guys doing while I was away?" Luffy asked, causing the entire crew to gather around him and start conversing with their captain.
