Third Person POV

East Blue.

...

...

"We shouldn't be doing this..." Woop Slap commented, looking at the crowd partying in front of him.

"Long live!! Long live!!!" Queen Makino celebrated, clapping for the crowd and joining in their celebration.

Instead of the Goa Kingdom looking at this with gloomy eyes due to the overwhelming defeat of mine, they seemed to be celebrating while the whole country was partying in the streets.

"Yokatta!!" Dadan was crying out loud in the middle. "Yokatta!" She continued to exclaim while her tears seemed endless. She saw Ace being saved, but soon fell into despair when she saw Luffy being impaled by that monster that appeared at the end. Dadan believed Luffy would die there and screamed in despair in that square, while Makino had tears in her eyes and everyone from Foosha was desperate, watching Luffy in that condition.

But then he overcame his adversary, shattered Marineford... he had come out victorious, while she cried and exclaimed, her companions from her hideout who saw those children grow up also shared their tears.

"My queen... we shouldn't be so open about favoring a pirate..." A minister cautiously said.

"Don't you see that they're coming out of that place alive... of course we have to celebrate!" Makino said with tears in her eyes, while the minister sighed.

The city was filled with posters of Luffy and Ace everywhere, while even the nobles exclaimed joyfully. Nobody there knew if Makino was truly the wife of the red-haired Yonkou, but they certainly knew that Monkey D. Luffy was the patron behind the curtains of this kingdom. So it was quite normal for people to have this attitude, but it didn't change the fact that they were cheering for a pirate too.

But it wasn't just the Goa Kingdom celebrating at this moment, after all, the entire East Blue was in festivity at this time. It's not like all the islands knew what had happened, but certainly everyone went to Loguetown to watch the live broadcast and managed to see as any other important point in the world.

"How could they have done this, those damned! They led Chouchou astray!!!!" The mayor exclaimed angrily, kicking the ground while some members from Orange Town who accompanied him looked on with worried eyes.

'When that damned pirate said he would take him and said Chouchou would have a bounty soon, I thought he was joking after all a dog shouldn't have a bounty.' He muttered internally, unbelieving that until a little while ago, he was seeing Chouchou transforming into a three-headed monster and massacring marines.

"But, mayor, they managed to get out fine..." A citizen said cautiously.

"Fine? Did you see what happened to Chouchou?" The man pointed to the turned-off screen. "He was knocked out by that other old man. If he were in front of me, I would beat him with this cane," the man said, after Chouchou had been knocked out by Saturn along with Hugo and Chopper.

"But, mayor," one of the citizens murmured scared, "you're talking about a government elder! He's one of those who rule the world. I thought they were just myths."

"Do I care if he is one of those elders?! He hurt Chouchou, I should have beaten him up, but that straw hat pirate got there first..." The man spoke, pointing to the comet in the sky.

And his citizens just sighed at the grumpy mayor, despite not believing his words.

"And that damned pirate who attacked our town was there too! I wanted to hit him, because that straw hat prevented Chouchou from eating him!!" He said at the end, dissatisfied that Luffy prevented Chouchou from killing Buggy.

"Did you see Usopp, Merry?!" Kaya exclaimed excitedly now that the war had ended.

"I saw. It really was a tough fight," Merry murmured, still shell-shocked, wondering how those people who visited their island just a few months ago and, despite the Captain mercilessly beating Kuro of a Hundred Plans in disguise, had become as powerful as those people they saw today.

These were people who could decimate the entire island. That punch from Luffy to the elder was so fast that almost no one saw it, but the effects were terrifying. He trembled with fear just imagining taking a punch from him.

"Merry!!" Kaya called him as she tried to talk to him again, stuck in his thoughts.

"Yes, young lady, I mean, queen of Syrup..." Merry said the official term while Kaya looked a bit displeased but continued.

"I'm trying to talk to you... Did you see how strong Usopp has become?" She exclaimed still excited, seeing him fight against vice admirals and other naval forces, transforming into a dragon several times in the midst of battle and launching explosive rays of light.

"It really is quite a change, my queen..." He spoke, Merry had to admit that even Usopp had become a monster, imagining how he would deal with Kuro at this moment. 'He is no longer that old storyteller... The people of the Syrup Kingdom would be shocked and would never call him a liar again when they saw his performance in the war.' He thought.

"Did you guys see Zoro-Senpai! He was fighting the world's greatest swordsman so evenly. What an incredible battle!" A student from Shimotsuki Koushirou's Dojo exclaimed excitedly to his peers while everyone nodded.

"Yes, did you see when he cut through the two frozen tsunamis with Mihawk? That was incredible, that scene won't leave my mind! I didn't know someone could have such ability," another student joined the conversation.

"Can we become as strong as Zoro-Senpai, sensei!?" they exclaimed looking at Shimotsuki, who was there with his arms crossed while looking at the turned-off screen.

"Maybe... it all depends on how much effort you put into your sword..." Shimotsuki replied with his eyes fixed on the same spot.

There were many things happening there, first Zoro showing himself to be someone who even surpassed him at this moment, and it hadn't even been a year since he had left East Blue and he was already fighting the user of Yoru in that manner.

It was truly frightening, but not only that, secondly, his daughter had also become extremely powerful, even though she couldn't be as strong as Zoro and many others, being one of the youngest on that ship, she faced each adversary without bowing her head, be it that Tenryuubito, the vice admirals, and even the Gorosei, something Shimotsuki never imagined seeing in his life. So he was proud and had to admit that his words were in vain, compared to the power Kuina had now. He might reach the top one day, even being a woman.

And, lastly and most unexpectedly, was Dragon, his old acquaintance appearing there. But there was also no reason for him to be surprised, despite Ivankov, his old companion, also appearing in the middle of the war with Kuina and her crew. Dragon would never let his son be in danger and probably he was there knowing the government elder was there, although in the end, his son took care of him alone.

"Kuina, Zoro, the world is changing and a new era will also come. I want to see what your roles will be in the eye of the storm, especially what your captain will represent..." he murmured.

"Did you see Reiju? She was incredible." A cook from Baratie spoke while everyone listened.

"Not just her," Zeff interrupted, "The whole crew was incredible. That whole bunch has grown a lot since they left our restaurant and it wasn't just in numbers." He spoke. "That straw hat... I've never seen anyone so strong in my life..." He commented.

Everyone agreed and a waiter in the group there shuddered at hearing that, after all, he had started an argument with Luffy as soon as he entered Baratie for the first time and had asked for help from Reiju, where he had his first contact with Luffy at that moment. Just thinking that he could take a punch from him... his body would shatter and he was all goosebumps about it.

Zeff said no more while his cooks continued talking, until he looked up, saw the comet, and took a deep breath, wondering what the future of this world would be from today.

"Governor, are you alright?" the secretary spoke to the governor of Cocoyasi Kingdom, who was trembling.

"Did you see? They made it out alive!!" The man celebrated excitedly although he would now complain about Luffy letting the queens be in danger in a war.

"Yes, let's leave that for later. Let's go back to the Kingdom. We have nothing more to stay here for," she spoke, and the man nodded. Celebrations for later in the year. "Let's go." He looked back, while he had two warriors from the kingdom with him.

"Yes..." Both spoke while crying, after witnessing so many emotions on those screens. They were none other than Yosaku and Johnny, who stayed in Cocoyasi after parting with the Straw Hats.

Meanwhile, people were still there, commenting and exclaiming about what they had witnessed. Sailors looked at the crowd, stunned, unable to shake off a shiver after everything they had seen at the marine headquarters. They hadn't been summoned to the place, as they were not elite soldiers, and internally they were thankful they didn't have to go to that hell.

"Did you see that Straw Hat kid? He's become so powerful," the man murmured.

"Yes, I was in Shelltown when I first met him. I saw him kill Morgan with a punch, ripping his head off, but now he really has become a monster. I never want to face him again," said the sailor in fear.

"Yes, I was at the looting of base 16. They just arrived and started firing cannons. I never imagined seeing him like this, not even the most powerful in the navy could do anything to them," another spoke, trembling.

"I faced them here and saw the fight between the Monkey family. It was terrifying. The square is now quite repaired, but they had destroyed the whole place," another spoke.

"Incredible, incredible," someone murmured, with a bottle in hand, watching the broadcast on the screens. He had climbed onto a roof and watched every detail, excitedly exclaiming at each shocking scene.

"To think I lived to see such a thing, my life is fulfilled with this kind of battle, but I still want to see more!!" The old man exclaimed, who was none other than the owner of the Gold Roger Bar, and had met Luffy with Shirahoshi a long time ago. "I'm sure my bar will start filling up looking for stories of Monkey D. Luffy... maybe I need to update his name too..." He spoke while leaving the place with a smile on his face, heading to his bar.

"AHHHH!!" a woman let out a scream, while beside her, a man raised his sword.

"The navy lost, the Whitebeard pirates got what they wanted, but the one who won the war was Monkey D. Luffy, even with the entire navy, an elder, and 2 Yonkou on the battlefield! To the sea, men, it's time for us to make our name," He exclaimed and a group of pirates who had recently set out to sea in the East Blue shouted, wanting to go to the New World at that moment.

"Yes, let's dominate those waters too. If the Straw Hats could do it in a few months, we can also become powerful," they exclaimed, and the group began to leave the square, making everyone cautious, clearing their way. They headed to their ship confidently.

Meanwhile, there were other groups that had a slightly different thought. "Let's find Monkey D. Luffy. Let's join his crew. We can't miss this chance. This era belongs to the Straw Hat, and as pirates from the East Blue as well, he will surely accept us," another excitedly exclaimed.

This quickly became an epidemic, even bounty hunters and even non-pirates began to exclaim wanting to go to sea after the navy's defeat, it only started where there were screens in the East Blue, but soon the whole sea would know what happened at Marineford and this sea would become chaos with people inspired by Luffy.
