Amidst the Black Pearl, Zoro walked through the corridors leading to all the structures of the ship like the cabins and workrooms, the ship's reactor, and the training room.
He went to his destination, entering a room filled with all sorts of boxes—it was the ship's storeroom, holding everything that wasn't food, which was stored in the refrigerator.
It was at that moment that Zoro stopped in the middle of the room, looking at some shadows behind the boxes.
"How long will you stay there, hiding? The battle has been over for a long time!" Zoro couldn't hold back and spoke as if he were looking at idiots while that group of people continued to tremble like scared cats.
"You're crazy, we don't want to die!" The voices were collective.
"Tsk... what a bunch of cowards... still consider yourselves pirates and wanted to get past us?" Zoro couldn't help feeling secondhand embarrassment.
These were none other than the Two Piece, who continued to be forced to travel with the Straw Hats' ship while still looking scared as they entered the New World and the sight of seeing hundreds of ships trying to destroy them was frightening for all of them.
They simply began running into the ship, fleeing in fear and hiding, only able to hear the explosions and tremors outside while their hearts continued to be filled with fear.
The battle seemed to have finally ended while they rolled from side to side with the Black Pearl rising to its heights and landing on the water a moment later, but none of them had the courage to return to the surface yet, even though hours had passed, still trembling in that corner.
"What a drag," Zoro, seeing that he could not argue with these people, simply shrugged and went to a barrel of loot, paying for it by throwing it on his shoulders, before turning around and returning to the ship's deck.
As soon as Zoro returned, he encountered almost the entire crew there, scattered across the ship while they chatted with each other or did something. It did not look anything like the crew that had just fought a massive force from the World Government and come out victorious.
Luffy was at this moment sitting in the middle of the deck in his floral shorts, sunbathing with all his skin exposed, while by his side, Yamato accompanied him in a white bikini, Vivi in blue, Robin in black, and Uta in red and white, all around him as he simply enjoyed that sunny afternoon with his crew.
"Zoro... did you bring the loot?" Luffy lifted the sunglasses he was wearing and looked at the swordsman.
"Yes, here, captain!" He spoke, throwing the entire barrel of loot after having taken a large cup for himself.
Luffy just drank contentedly, sighing at the end satisfied. The women just looked at him but said nothing, accustomed to this sight of him drinking almost every day at banquets or even moments like these.
"Captain. What do you intend to do with those fools inside the ship?" Zoro suddenly asked, still not understanding why Luffy had brought them to the New World.
"Them? Hahaha" Luffy started laughing after lounging in his chair enjoying the sun, "Because it will be fun..." Luffy simply spoke, while Zoro grimaced, but knowing his captain, he just shrugged.
"Luffy, is this correct?" Nami approached at that moment as she sat beside Luffy's chair, showing a map to him.
"Yes... I want you to make a route from here to there, have all the eternal Pulse ready for each one traveling on each route I indicated." Luffy spoke while lifting his hand and touching Nami's thigh, giving a little caress.
Nami was focused after hearing Luffy as she began to quickly mark the map. "Well, I have to go back to my cabin, after all, I need to mark it carefully and make some copies for everyone..." Nami murmured and then stopped while looking at Luffy's wandering hand and gave him a narrow look.
"What's up, my woman?" He asked with a smile.
"Later, Luffy, or come to my cabin." She simply spoke as she stood up from Luffy's chair and walked away, she had not denied, but she had work to do with him asking for all those things.
"Tsk." Uta murmured with a tone of dissatisfaction.
"Is my wife jealous? How about I pamper her a bit?" Luffy spoke as he went over to Uta, to be with her, especially since she was pregnant.
"Luffy..." As Luffy was massaging Uta and applying sunscreen to her, Vivi called him. "So you're going to separate us too... like you did with them?" She suddenly asked while Luffy nodded in agreement.
"Yes... I asked them to go ahead because we need to be quick with that kingdom, the rest of us will do different tasks." Luffy spoke.
"Really? What will we do, brother?" Lucy approached excitedly at that moment.
"Let's talk later. For now, let's enjoy the New World sea finally, like we used to in the old days," He said, as he simply pulled his sister and tickled her ribs.
"Hey, stop it!! Hahahahahahaha! That tickles, Luffy, stop!!" Lucy began to laugh as Luffy didn't seem to let go, smiling at his sister's suffering like in the old days and finding it amusing.
The day went by as he continued interacting with his crew, until the night arrived and a grand banquet began while everyone celebrated again under the starline of the new world.
"It seems we'll have to join them." Luffy spoke as he put his shorts back on.
"Yes... everything's ready, even though you bothered me a bit..." Nami murmured, dressing in her bra after they had sex in her cabin, but despite her words, Luffy knew she was joking as he showed a mischievous smile.
"Let's go then." Luffy finally said, as he headed out joining the crew with Nami as they enjoyed the rest of the night.
The next day, even those members who had drunk too much, like Jimbei, Zoro, Alvida, and Enel, gathered with Luffy in the training room.
"As you know," Luffy began, yawning while everyone looked at him and he maintained his line of sight on each of them. "We'll make our first move in the new world and we're going to look for more members for our fleet."
"Are we going to Wano after this, right?" Yamato asked anxiously.
"We'll be there soon, Yamato. Don't worry, just wait a bit." Luffy commented, knowing Yamato's dream of freeing Wano. "But now, I want to stabilize our position in the new world and get more valuable members." Luffy spoke.
"Is that why you sent Lami, Rebecca, Hugo, Kyros, Monet, and Perona to Dressrosa?" Vivi asked.
"Yes, after all, I want to bring down the Donquixote family and I'm sure that Kaido won't try to hold this kingdom in a war, while he should be concentrating his forces in Wano along with Bigmom. That's why they went ahead to bring down Dressrosa as soon as possible." Luffy spoke.
The members nodded and Luffy looked at his navigator. "Nami," Luffy requested as the orange-haired girl approached, "Show a map to everyone." He asked.
She unrolled the map with a detailed drawing of the beginning of this sea, while everyone looked at the marked lines. "As you can see, I want you to go to all these places in different groups.
Me and a group will be following a route where there are two points, you will follow the other fleets while going to Dressrosa to meet up as soon as you complete your missions and I will be with my group, meeting up with all of you there later," Luffy began to explain.
"Hey, Luffy! These points are kingdoms... do you by chance want us to..." Usopp murmured a bit surprised.
"Yes, it's true. I want you not to plunder these kingdoms, just make everyone surrender and notify them that there is a summons from me in Dressrosa, expecting their kings to appear, after all, I'll give everyone a choice," Luffy spoke.
"What will the teams be?" Lucy asked excitedly about the adventure.
"Well... with me will be Shirahoshi, Lucy, Nami, Vivi, Hachi. We'll take the longest route. Yamato, Nojiko, Bonney, and Robin will be another team, following this route," Luffy pointed to the map while the mentioned members nodded.
"Bepo, Alvida, Jimbei, and Franky, you will follow this route," Luffy spoke pointing to another line.
"Leave it to me, captain!" Bepo responded.
"Enel, Baby-5, Domino, Perona, your destination is in that kingdom," Luffy said.
"Tsk." Enel, unsurprisingly, seemed to scoff as the others nodded.
"I won't be with the master?!" Baby-5 appeared to cry, but Luffy ignored her.
"Reiju, Chopper, Usopp, and Uta. Go here and lastly, Zoro, Kuina, Chouchou, Brook will come here." Luffy finalized all the teams and routes. "You can bring the animals if you want." He did not fail to add as well.
"Now let's get ready, we'll depart immediately." Luffy gave the order, as the others began to leave to arrange their things, at least most of them.
The ship quickly started to get busy as Luffy placed new ships in the water, due to increasing their size by taking them out of his collection for the other members to use, and unsurprisingly, he handed the Sunny Go to Franky's group, while the cyborg seemed left on the ship with hearts in his eyes.
"We'll see later, don't forget to report any emergency on the communicator, after all, the government and navy might try something." Luffy spoke.
"Tsk." Bonney passed by him muttering, she was still upset by the battle against so many pacifistas.
As everyone embarked on various ships, Luffy's team stayed there, while Hachi would go to the helm of the Black Pearl, with them still keeping the main ship and all ships beginning to head to different corners.
"Luffy why is our first point on the sea?" Lucy asked curiously while looking at the map, where there was no island.
"That's true, there is no log pose for there... where do you want to go?" Nami also asked curiously.
"It's time to tell where we're going," Luffy said, opening a smile, as the others paid attention to him.
"Our first stop is none other than Gran Tesoro, a casino made of gold in the high seas, so we don't have an eternal pose, but it will be easy to pinpoint it, especially at night. Since the place is very well lit." Luffy spoke.
"A gold casino!!" Nami exclaimed excitedly with dollar signs in her eyes.
"That sounds fantastic, doesn't it, Megalo?" Shirahoshi said with a small smile, but without her previous exclamations, being much more controlled.
"Well... it seems amazing." Vivi murmured.
"Gold casino? Such a place exists!!" Lucy exclaimed.
"..." Luffy just nodded and turned his attention forward, as he saw the ship entering the sea, heading to its next point and if he was correct, it wouldn't be difficult to convince Gild Tesoro to join him, after all, that man suffered at the hands of the Celestial Dragons and he knew that the man sought revenge, it was time to get another important ally and so, the ship sailed with those members and Two Piece still in the ship's storeroom trembling.
