"OPEN SCREEN!" Nami yelled causing Luffy to turn around and look at her. He saw her standing a little far away from the villagers. When the villagers begged him to say goodbye, Luffy turned to his crew and shouted.
"You heard it, didn't you! Open Screen! Lift anchors! Sanji take the wheel!" Luffy shouted causing all of them to struggle to complete his orders.
Usopp and Johnny open the screen, while Zoro and Yosaku pull the anchor, while Sanji takes over the wheel and starts piloting the ship. Nojiko ran towards Usopp and Johnny to help them tie the screen in place, while Luffy stood there with a flat face staring at everyone.
Luffy turned towards Nami and saw her running towards the moving ship, running in and out among the people.
"You don't think he's gonna do what I think he's gonna do, do you?" Zoro asked from beside Luffy.
"I think so" replied Luffy. Nami reaches the end of the pier and makes a long jump and jumps from the dock to the ship which surprises Luffy. When Nami lands on the ship, the first thing she does is pull her shirt which causes Luffy's eyes to widen while Sanji starts getting excited.
From his clothes fell dozens of wallets he stole from the villagers as he ran past them. Luffy shook his head and started laughing.
"Thank you very much!" Nami yells at the villagers causing their jaws to fall. Luffy then looked at the rest of the crew and nodded giving a sign it was time to start the plan.
When they had sailed some distance from the island, Luffy was sitting on his throne made of clouds, Zoro was at the top of the main mast, Sanji was in the kitchen making lunch, he said, Usopp sat on the floor next to Luffy doing something with his invention, Johnny and Yosaku playing cards on Luffy's left, and Nami and Nojiko had just finished taking care of their orange tree, and they had just finished taking care of their orange tree, and walk to the back deck with a beach chair to sit down with Luffy.
"What do you think Nami's gonna do?" Luffy asked as he looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"I'll relax for a while" Nami said as she opened the beach chair. Now Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku go into position to carry out Luffy's plan with Zoro.
"Still?" Luffy asked before he started laughing, puzzling Nami and Nojiko. "You committed treason on a pirate ship and you think you're going back to the same ship and can relax?" Luffy asked causing Nami's eyes to widen.
"In a normal situation, that crime can only be forgiven if you end your life" Luffy said, scaring him a little.
"But you know, you've never actually said to join my crew if I remember it correctly, we're just working together to achieve our same goals," luffy's words caused Nami to calm down a little.
"But that doesn't mean you can get away with it. You stole the ship that was still flying my Jolly Roger so you should be punished. EVERYBODY!" Luffy yells. As he shouted, Zoro, Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku, spilled four large buckets of mud all over the deck except for the back deck where Luffy was.
Sanji then walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and shouted.
"What are you doing!" Sanji shouted while looking at Zoro. Luffy walked up to Nami and handed her the mop and bucket.
"From today you're in charge of cleaning the ship until I say otherwise" Luffy said causing Nami to pick up the mop and bucket resignedly. "And no one can help him!" Luffy shouted while looking towards Sanji and Nojiko, making them nod.
Nojiko nodded with a smile, while Sanji wanted to protest but thought otherwise. Nami then went down with her mop and bucket and started cleaning the ship.
After about three hours, Nami finally finished cleaning the ship. He came up the stairs looking tired and sweaty, he walked up to Luffy and spoke.
"Done," he said. Luffy smiled and nodded saying that he could rest. Sanji then appeared with three drinks on a silver platter. He handed a glass of whiskey to Luffy and took the other two drinks to Nami and Nojiko.
Luffy took a sip of whiskey and smiled before looking up at the sky. That's when he saw News Coo flying on board. His whistling gained the bird's attention, causing the bird to fly onto the ship.
Luffy paid for it and took out a new newspaper and returned to his throne. When he opened the paper and started reading, he commented on the person in a loud voice.
"hmm what is that?" Luffy asked as he stared at the paper that flew to and fro before finally landing between Luffy and Usopp. When Luffy saw her, his eyes widened and Usopp screamed.
"MUHHH!" Usopp's shout caused everyone to come and see what commotion was going on. When they saw the paper, they all stared with eyes as big as dinner plates.
* At Navy Headquarters *
Gathering inside the Navy headquarters in the Meeting Room were all Vice Admiral Marines, discussing the great threat that had appeared in the world.
"So, even conservative estimates of their strength, they are still too powerful for our branch base to handle?" Ask one of the Vice Admiral while pouring sake.
"Yes, even before it was formed, this group of pirates had killed the captain of Marine Base Axe-Hand Morgan alone. Since then he has shown no signs of slowing down, Buggy's 15 million 'clown', Kuro's 'Of a 1000 plan' which apparently faked his death with a 16 million Bounty, "brannew said surprising everyone in the room.
"Pirate Admiral Don Kreig 17 million, pirate Fishman 'Saw-tooth' Arlong 20 million," he said as he pointed to every wanted poster on the board. "Every one of these pirates has a bounty of over 10 million and he beat them all, but that's expected considering who he is" said Brannew, who received attention from all marines.
"From the reports we gathered, he has a logia grade demon fruit and one that is quite powerful," he said getting some shocked reactions from some Vice Admiral.
"Logias is believed to be the rarest and most powerful class of demonic fruit" said one Vice Admiral. "Do we know what kind of Logia it is?" She asked. Brannew looked at the paper in his hand and spoke.
"His strength is believed to be the devil fruit of the lightning logia. We have a report from Captain Nezumi of the 16th branch saying that this pirate is actually able to wipe the 16th Branch base off the face of the earth and kill everyone who is on the Island just by one strike."
Brannew said causing all the marine eyes in the room to widen. He then looked at the paper before speaking again. "It was also reported that he was the ruler of all three forms of Haki," he said causing everyone's eyes to widen.
"A user of Haki !? In East Blue !?" one of the Vice Admiral shouted /question.
"Did you just say all three?" ask the others. "He's got Conqueror Haki?"
"It's not good" commented another marine.
"It's still getting worse" Brannew said causing everyone to stop talking and look at him with dinner plate-sized eyes.
"How could this get any worse?" asked one of the Vice Admiral in a tone that sounded like he was very afraid of whatever Brannew would say.
"He was also a disciple of Shanks The Red Hair," he said causing the entire room to become silent. Before anyone could say anything, he spoke again. "Ten years ago Redhead came to East Blue if you all remember," he said, getting a nod from everyone.
"Report that he brought a child back with him and now we have reason to believe in that report .... There is no doubt that this is the same child. Reports also say at one point the boy had a high position in Shank's crew and he went to create his own group of pirates with permission from Shank. And because it was\, we gave him a Bounty ******" said Brannew stopping to let this information go to all the marine heads in the room.
"I can't believe it" said one Vice Admiral.
"Where is this boy now?" ask the others to go into marine mode immediately.
"He is currently heading towards Logue Town. We've sent reinforcements to support Captain Smoker" Brannew said.
"That's great, we can't let a pirate of this caliber re-enter the Grand Line" said one Vice Admiral, getting a nod from the others.
