Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Sabaody.
...
...
Luffy looked at a group of pirates in front of him, including at least four pirate crews, among them Two Piece, Caribou and his brother, plus two other unknown groups that caught Luffy's interest.
"Since you wanted to sail under my flag, I'll grant your wish," Luffy said calmly, looking at the crowd staring back at him with fear and anger towards the Fake Straw Hat crew, who had deceived them.
"I know you're angry with him, but don't kill them. After all, they'll be under training from now on..." Luffy continued as the Fake Straw Hats, or now, the Two Piece, frowned, unsure how to respond, their lives being decided by these people.
Luffy then went on, "Anyway, let's begin," he said, looking at each of his captains. The two unknowns seemed to look at him with admiration, but they still didn't fully trust Caribou and his crew, who was as treacherous as Ceasar, so it was a good way to keep him under control.
"Lami," Luffy spoke to his companion standing next to him while the woman looked at him. "Take their hearts out," Luffy pointed at the brothers.
As soon as he requested, the woman raised her hands and before they could react, she simply created her "room" and removed their hearts the next moment. Both brothers were stunned, feeling a sharp pain as something hit their chests.
"What is this?" Caribou exclaimed, scared upon seeing their hearts there, frozen in front of him, not understanding how his mud body had been attacked in such a way.
"We have your two hearts now... You are not trustworthy after all I can feel the malice bursting from both of you... so while you are in the crew, any act of betrayal will be the death of you, got it?" Luffy spoke firmly, not caring about taking the freedom of treacherous people as long as they were with him.
"But... Lord Luffy..." Caribou's brother begged.
"Stop crying and just make sure not to try to deceive us, otherwise... these hearts won't end up well," Luffy threatened, leaving everyone there shivering.
"Yonkous are so brutal..."
"We really can't slip up..."
"Our lives depend on our performance..."
The lower-ranked pirates began to murmur, swallowing dryly. And Luffy stopped his menacing face to break into a smile. "Now let's begin, we're going to the New World and I want you to have been here for a month... but your mission is very simple, I scoured the island and found some mermaids and even mermen still being traded, trapped in auction houses... You don't know but I declared Fishman Island as my territory since Whitebeard died," he declared.
"Fishman Island is Lord Luffy's territory...?" They murmured in surprise, not knowing this information.
"Yes, it is... so you know what you have to do... after all, there's no forgiveness for those who try to challenge me... Joker is a dead name in the underworld and his family has been trying to maintain their businesses over the last year... however, their live merchandise are my people... that's why I want the blood of those who dare challenge me," Luffy said with a firm tone.
"Nee... These damn..." Hachi murmured.
"Tsk," Jimbei looked serious.
"..." Shirahoshi had a determined look.
All three main crew members from Fishman Island quickly had only one thought—to destroy those who dare harm the island.
The pirates heard this and began to nod in agreement.
"They dare to attack the captain's people?!"
"Exactly!! We must destroy them!!"
"We must take down all the slave traders!"
The pirates, initially afraid, now engaged with Luffy's words as well, growing angry knowing they were now part of this crew and quickly began to gather inspiration along with anger towards those harming the group they now belonged to.
"Let's defeat them!!"
"Captain, give us the order and we'll destroy all the auction houses on the island!!"
"Yes, let's go as soon as you command!!"
Luffy looked at the entire crowd shouting at the same time and liked what he was seeing. "Well, that's what I wanted to see," he murmured satisfied and continued speaking. "Listen up everyone! I want to clean up this island, so follow my order! Exterminate all those auction houses and save the slaves, from today all the business on this island belongs to my organization and there will be no more slave trading here!" Luffy exclaimed, as everyone raised their weapons.
"Yeah, let's follow the Captain's order!" the pirates shouted.
Despite Caribou and his brother not being as enthusiastic as everyone around them or even their crew that joined the others, they no longer had their hearts, so they had no choice, as their fates were now tied to the Straw Hat crew, starting to bitterly regret getting involved in this in the first place.
Meanwhile, at a remote location, a fish-man was chained next to a tank, with a mermaid inside it, both wearing explosive collars. They had been captured by pirates who secretly invaded Fishman Island. Even though it was declared as belonging to the Straw Hat, they did not seem to fear due to his disappearance a year ago, so they took advantage of that time to catch mermaids and mermen after the fall of Whitebeard. But what they were not aware of was that the near destruction of the island a few hours ago was due to Luffy's own fight.
A guard was walking past the cells where the prisoners were. "Are we safe? The whole island was trembling before... what happened?" These questions echoed through that auction house and all the places, while everyone just remembered looking powerless with that chaos happening.
And as soon as those guards passed the cells, an explosion destroyed a wall, causing dust and debris to rise in front of them. "What is this? Guards! Guards!" The manager started to scream seeing this at the end of the corridor calling the guards, while the slaves looked surprised and saw several guards beginning to run through the corridor to point their guns at the smoke.
"So this is the auction!" A ruffian's voice came from behind the smoke.
"Hahaha... So they're the ones who will die?" A person then emerged, being a pirate with a pistol and a sword, but no one recognized.
"Who dares attack the underworld auction, which belonged to the former Joker!? Don't you know what this means? Which group commands this place now!?" The manager exclaimed angrily. After all, it was no secret that Kaido was now the name behind the extension of the old Doflamingo family in Dressrosa, who were still trying to maintain as many businesses as possible, putting Kaido's name to keep dominating the underworld.
"Who cares about Kaido..." The same pirate scoffed and before they could react, he raised his pistol and fired, the bullet quickly knocking down one of the guards as he fell to the ground gushing blood.
"Let's go men!! Kill all these bastards and free the slaves as the captain asked!!" The pirate exclaimed.
"We're under attack! Who dares do this?" The auction men began to exclaim, returning the shots and also shooting at the debris while more and more pirates began to emerge from there.
"You bastards! You dare capture members from the territory of the Straw Hat? Suffer the consequences!" Another group emerged in another auction nearby, as they invaded the place killing the auction members.
"What should we do?" One of the fake Straw Hat pirates asked, looking at all the other pirates advancing and fighting.
"We have no choice, let's go, or we'll be killed," the fake Straw Hat murmured. He was still trying to absorb everything that was happening and wondering how his name was now Two Piece, but with no choice, he moved forward with his pistol, while his body ran as fast as it could, despite the size of his fat.
Meanwhile, the place was all enveloped in chaos, with the auction men still trying to sustain the fear of the enemy because of their patrons, but they were quickly brought down to the ground by the number of pirates emerging and attacking them mercilessly, not caring about the name Kaido, after all, they also followed a Yonkou now.
"Stop this! A Celestial Dragon is coming here to buy a mermaid! You dare...?" A manager tried his last card to stop the bloodshed but didn't even finish before he was killed.
"It doesn't matter. Those who dare mess with the Captain's people must suffer the consequences," the pirates said.
Elsewhere, a mermaid was being carried off a pirate ship that had just arrived from Fishman Island, docking in a forest to take her to a nearby auction.
"Look what we've caught! This will make us rich," one of the pirates said excitedly.
"Please, release me, please..." the mermaid murmured frightened, struggling as the men continued to carry her with ease, laughing at her misfortune.
And before anyone could react, he had fallen to the ground with a shot to the face. "Hey, we're being attacked!" another pirate shouted, as another shot seemed to have been fired silently, as another pirate fell to the ground dead while blood splattered from his head.
The mermaid fell when the third pirate was killed, dropping her. She was stunned, surrounded by bodies. As the pirates from the boat began to search for the shooter but found no one yet.
"Who is shooting? See where the bullets are coming from!" The captain was shouting, as they searched, but only saw the empty forest, not knowing where the shots were coming from. Another pirate fell beside him and before turning to the right, another three fell to the left as they became scared and began to run, dying one by one until only the mermaid remained.
Meanwhile, at a distant location, someone was reloading their rifle, aiming through their scope from a distance of 10 km where they were killing those pirates. He was lying on the lawn in front of Shakuyaku's bar, along with some crew members, as he continued killing pirates even from that distance.
"One group down, let's see another..." Usopp said as he prepared to take down another pirate group involved with slaves.
Meanwhile, another ship was leaving from another part of the island, carrying three tied-up tritons, who cried as they looked with hatred at the human pirates.
"Finally, we'll get to Sabaody and make some money!" they exclaimed excitedly.
However, a shadow appeared in the sky at that moment, and everyone looked up. "Wait, is that a Mermaid?" they murmured stunned.
When Shirahoshi finally appeared. She moved her trident to the side and launched it forward, as a gust of wind surged straight towards the ship. Before they could react, the entire ship exploded, shattering quickly. The sea below them swirled into a whirlpool, sucking them down, while Shirahoshi moved her trident again, as if commanding the sea. She then pulled the tritons from that whirlpool, while the maelstrom continued to suck everything, making all the pirates disappear as they screamed in despair, disappearing from this world as their bodies went straight to the bottom of the sea with the power of the leviathan.
"You're the mermaid princess!!" the tritons exclaimed in awe as soon as they saw Shirahoshi.
"You're going home. We'll take care of the rest, understood?" Shirahoshi warned with a firm tone, and the tritons nodded, returning to the sea.
Several other pirate ships with tritons and mermaids captured from Fishman Island were heading to the surface while still moving upwards from the bottom of the sea.
They didn't see the shadows approaching them while Jimbei and Hachi appeared and quickly attacked them, destroying all the ships and freeing all the tritons.
The entire island was in chaos at this moment, while Luffy, main members, and new fleet members acted, also destroying entire auctions and massacring those who dared touch his people, just because he had been absent for a year.
