Chapter 369 – The Most Wanted Gang in the world.
Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Skypiea.
...
...
Luffy was sitting in his cabin while looking at the reports in front of him. The first paper was about mapping Skypiea, where every flying island had a purpose. The islands were summarized as follows:
- The main island, Skypiea, was structured into the Upper Yard and the City of Angels, which lay beneath in the sea of clouds.
- Amazon Lily, home to the Kuja pirates and the Amazons.
- Shiki's headquarters, where there was the main laboratory for animal modifications. Luffy built a weapons factory there while Lola transformed the metals they brought from other places, building weapons. Ceasar Claws assisted in weapon creation along with Franky, who also constructed a laboratory for his own creations.
- There were five islands with transformed animals, where they had already formed their own society and learned to fight all day long.
- One island housed dinosaurs.
- There was also Little Garden itself, where Luffy had asked Bepo to remove the island from the sea six months ago and bring them to the sky, where he could have a large number of these dinosaurs for experiments, but the island was still untouched; it had many plants that Chopper used to make medicines.
Setting aside the structure of Skypiea, he read another report about countries reporting economic growth, trade, and military strength while Luffy managed to improve the quality of life for the people living there; after all, they are his people and he wants them all to thrive. These reports were sent by Baroque Works, but now he set them aside as he needed to know about activities in the New World and his organization was not yet operational there.
He dropped the papers and looked forward, as Jimbei, who had been out of Skypiea for the last few weeks, returned today with new reports Luffy had requested from the New World.
"Let me see them," Luffy requested as Jimbei approached, handing over the papers while Luffy began to read.
Jimbei had been sent to Fishman Island and the New World to gather some information, some of it from Viola, his spy.
"Bigmom is still bothering to try and take Fishman Island..." Luffy murmured as Jimbei nodded.
"However... she doesn't dare take it directly..." Jimbei said, after all, Luffy had already shown that they could attack from a distance, and she wouldn't even leave her territory to take revenge on Luffy with him being able to attack them. So this year, she allied with Kaido and was waiting for Luffy to arrive in the New World.
"Fishman Island is mine; there is nothing to discuss about that," Luffy declared, and Jimbei simply nodded.
"Captain..." Jimbei seemed hesitant as Luffy looked at him sighing.
"I know what you're thinking, Jimbei, but we can wait a bit longer. We'll be heading to the New World soon. A lot has happened in this half-year since things completely changed in the New World. It won't be one or two days that will make a big difference," Luffy said.
"So we're going soon, Captain?" he said with a hopeful tone.
"Yes, I want you to get ready; we'll be departing soon... We're in the final preparations," Luffy said as Jimbei nodded before leaving.
Luffy sighed while reading the movements in the New World, first about the fall of Whitebeard six months ago. Since then, the remnants of the fleet have been fighting against Blackbeard and his crew, which also made the New World restless. After all, Kaido and Bigmom also took the opportunity to grab some territories. Ace and the other commanders fought tooth and nail, but in the end, they were losing in a scenario against three Yonkous. Now that Whitebeard was also recognized by the world as such, only maintaining some of the territories trying to protect them.
Luffy was a bit sad about the death of Whitebeard; his last farewell with the old man was really as he had foreseen, the last contact he had with the strongest man in the world, but there was nothing he could do about it. Whitebeard had his own adventure on the sea, and he was training to prepare for his own, and as if by fate, Teach managed to get the power of the shock fruit.
Luffy was also excited to face Blackbeard; at least now he was more powerful, and Luffy wanted to see which of them would win with their current abilities. This excited him.
His gaze fell on Domino, who was looking at him while staying in the cabin with another person, "Do you want to go to the New World?" Luffy asked her, after all, she came to talk to him.
"Yes..." she murmured. Domino had become quite obedient over the past year and had agreed to join the crew in the end.
"Alright... you get your things ready, since you'll be with us," Luffy said as the woman left after nodding gratefully.
"How is my schedule?" Luffy asked the second woman, Monet, who acted as his secretary, Vivi did that too, but she was taking care of Sinbad.
"You will train with Rayleigh this afternoon and have a meeting with the entire main crew," she said. Monet had become obedient.
"What's bothering you?" Luffy asked the woman, who seemed hesitant to say something.
"You're going to Dressrosa to overthrow the current government of Kaido there, aren't you?" she asked as Luffy sighed, understanding why she was talking about it.
"You're worried about your sister, aren't you?" Luffy said as the woman nodded. "Sorry, Monet, but I will have to remove all effects of your akuma no mi, and she is dangerous, I can't let her roam free as she was, I can spare her life, but that is the most I will do and I'm doing this for you," Luffy said as Monet, despite still looking worried, nodded in the end.
Luffy also picked up a newspaper from the last few days, something that made him scoff and almost laugh, after all, this newspaper talked about him, or at least his name, as a return, while there was a pirate group disguising themselves as him going to Sabaody. It was funny to think that people believed they were really them, while the crew was made up of only a few of the members of the Straw Hats from the original work; Sanji was replaced by Enel, who was also blond and the character wore some very heavy drums on his back, seeing the effort on his face or even the twisted spine he was having.
Luffy would deal with them before heading to the New World; he opened a drawer of his desk and took out a stack of papers from it, spreading them out on the table, while Monet remained silent with Luffy looking at all the wanted posters there.
The first poster was his; these rewards were changed a year ago, after the war, but he just kept it, especially the first edition.

(IMG: Domino with a whip in her hand.)
All the bounties were there while Luffy said nothing, looking at them, 18,935,000,000 Berries for his crew... they were the most wanted group in the world... only the current 4 emperors together without their crews could match the value of his group and Luffy knew his name came to almost double the bounty since the Tenryuubitos had put a lot of money into increasing his head in the black market and all of Mary Geoise wanting to kill him, if a Tenryuubito did not hesitate to spend 500 million on a mermaid, imagine hundreds or perhaps thousands of them hating just one person.
Luffy became the most expensive man in the world with a price on his head, and he was happy with this, as they were still in the middle of their journey. The real mess would start soon.
Monet, Rebecca, and Greg, who also were part of the main group, still had no bounties, as they were hidden members. Perona had the bounty for being part of Moria's group, Bonney already had her bounty before, Domino was declared a deserter. The bounty that surprised the most was Lucy... putting a billion on her when she did not have the power of a million-bounty pirate, but he could understand that the government knew that their members have a much higher growth rate than normal, so he could see Lucy transforming into Joygirl with her by his side.
The bounties of 'Alive Only', almost all changed to 'Dead Only', whether because Luffy and Lucy presented a great threat, Lami for killing a Tenryuubito, and Bepo for being a great threat to the government, so much so that he became the second highest bounty of the crew, higher even than Yamato.
"Well... enough of looking at bounties... let's continue our routine..." Luffy said, getting up as he would do the next task of the day before talking to his group.
