[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Mary Geoise, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The 5 elders returned to the sofa while the Den Den Mushi was still on the line.
"So, you easily dealt with the meteor, as expected..." Luffy said calmly.
"You really think that can destroy Mary Geoise?" Topman Warcury spoke, but with a bit of anger after what this pirate did.
"Well, you deal with one, but what if I send a few dozen of them?" Luffy asked calmly.
"Damn, you think you're going to live long!" Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro exclaimed.
"Calm down, surely you wouldn't want a meteor shower falling on the city, say what you want, you know you won't live long if it stays like this, but we also don't want to deal with something like that." Marcus Mars spoke, stroking his long beard.
"What I want is a peace pact, you do not get involved with any of the islands of my companions' origins, in exchange, I won't send meteors to Mary Geoise." Luffy spoke, as this was a deal he wanted to make on this call, not wanting to worry too much about having to deal with the government sending troops to the kingdoms of Goa, Orange Town, Syrup Village, Baratie, Cocoyasi Village, Shimotsuki Village, Whisky Peak, Drum Island, Alabasta, and Water Seven. He had more territories, but they were hidden from the eyes of the World Government.
"Hm..." Shepherd Ju Peter pondered for a moment. "We can make this deal, as long as you send no more meteors, we will not bother with the islands, even though you killed a Tenryuubito, but that does not mean we won't kill you." He concluded.
"That's good, after all, I am a pirate, danger is always by my side, and I like facing big challenges, so as long as you keep your end of the deal, I will keep mine." Luffy was sincere, he knew he couldn't be without the government on his neck after everything he did, so having the people behind him protected, would be a relief.
Everything in the place had become silent and Luffy wanted to end their conversation. "I think we're done here, hope we can meet one day, goodbye!" Luffy spoke and hung up the snail.
Katcha
"This kid... He really did it." Jaygarcia Saturn spoke with dissatisfaction.
"We can't do anything with him for now..." Topman Warcury said calmly.
"For now... after all, we can still destroy them in this war." Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro spoke.
"However, we will have to leave a good force here, we will have to send a limited force to assist the navy..." Marcus Mars spoke.
Meanwhile, at sea. Luffy looked at the turned-off Den Den Mushi and shrugged as he threw it into the sea and looked at a still trembling Bepo.
"Hey, don't be like that, it's over. It all worked out." Luffy said with a smile.
"But captain, we launched a meteor on Mary Geoise! The government will never forgive us!" Bepo exclaimed still frightened.
"Don't worry about it now, let's return to the others," Luffy spoke. Then, he started walking back to the deck where his crew was waiting for him, trembling and looking scared, still wondering what Luffy was doing, becoming the government's number one enemy.
"Luffy, you want to surpass your father?!" Kuina complained.
"Luffy, are we really okay? Won't we be chased to the ends of the earth?" Nami cried.
"Luffy, this is no joke," Vivi spoke worriedly.
"Luffy, do you really know what you're doing?" Robin asked with a frown.
"Luffy, can you launch another shooting star? It was so beautiful!" Shirahoshi exclaimed wanting to see another light show in the sky.
"OF COURSE NOT!!" Half of the crew shouted at her making comical faces.
"Hahahahaha!" Luffy laughed looking at everyone while he stopped laughing but kept a smile, "Don't worry, it's all right..." He said, "This was just a negotiation, and I showed that if the government exaggerates in chasing us, well, that's what will happen," Luffy commented, while everyone still looked suspicious of him.
"Does it have to be so extreme, Luffy?" Nojiko asked.
"Yes, otherwise it would be our islands destroyed with our relatives being kidnapped to hit us, I bet no one here would like something like that, right?" He asked while everyone looked thoughtful.
"The government will surely do something like that, you have no idea what they can do to get revenge..." Hugo was the one who spoke, knowing
very well what he had gone through because of a Tenryuubito. "But I never imagined you would send a meteor to their city to show you're not joking..." Hugo spoke, even having seen Luffy kill a Tenryuubito in front of him.
"The meteor was Bepo, I just asked for it." Luffy smiled.
"But you sent me!! I swear it was the captain's orders! I'm sorry!!!" Bepo started to panic, apologizing to the group.
"Haha. Don't be so scared, I take full responsibility, Bepo." Luffy said and looked back at the group, while the vast majority were still scared, there were some who didn't seem to care, like Yamato eating her meal and Shirahoshi seeming oblivious to the gravity as the animals that didn't seem to care much about their actions.
"Well, anyway, let's continue the feast," Luffy said, being one of the calmest and most excited in the place, sat next to his horned wife to eat with her.
The night passed in a divided atmosphere, while Luffy and Yamato laughed as they ate with each other, the rest of the crew, a bit calmer, joined, but the atmosphere was not the same anymore, anyway the night went by as the crew went to sleep in the early morning.
"Now let's take this ship..." Luffy approached Sunny Go alongside Black Pearl and shrunk it to put in his collection of miniature ships, as he returned to the room. Luffy ended up spending the night with Alvida and a drunk Yamato in his bed.
The next day, the ship continued sailing its course that Luffy set with Nami, and a newspaper delivery seagull approached and Uta bought a newspaper.
"Thank you!" She said and the bird nodded before flying away.
"Let's see... Hm? We're on the front page of the Newspaper!!" Uta exclaimed and Luffy, who was sitting on the edge of the ship, approached his woman with the newspaper.
"Let me see! I wonder how Morgans knew about our battle..." Luffy said, unaware that Morgans was many kilometers above Enies Lobby.
The news would generate a new impact on the world with some images that Morgans managed to send to his office before Kuzan took his recorder. He published the shocking news of the Straw Hat crew against the great force of the Navy, with the destruction of Enies Lobby as a result of the conflict.
The news about the conflict in Enies Lobby and the mysterious phenomenon in the sky of a meteor, occupied most of the main page, detailed in black letters with images below.
Luffy looked at the newspaper with a big smile, drawing the attention of everyone in the crew. "Look at this!" he exclaimed, starting to read aloud. "Devastating Conflict in Enies Lobby! Pirates Challenge Justice and Escape After Unprecedented Destruction," his voice echoed across the deck.
Everyone stopping what they were doing to listen to Luffy, as the captain continued reading the details of the battle, the Straw Hat crew gathered closer, "A large force tried to combat the Straw Hats in Monkey D. Luffy, joining against a Vice-admiral and 2 admirals, a fight was waged, which resulted in the total destruction of Enies Lobby, one of the 3 great structures of the World Government, is submerged in the sea. With this, the government and the navy are seeing how they can end once and for all with this super-rookie, who is considered the worst pirate that emerged during the era of pirates."
Further down, another article captured attention: "Meteor Illuminates the Sky of the Grand Line, Natural Phenomenon or Calculated Threat?" The report detailed the sudden appearance of a meteor that crossed the sky on a clear night, its trajectory illuminating the darkness before disappearing on the horizon. Speculations were rife among scientists and sky observers, some suggesting a rare natural anomaly, while others insinuated a more sinister origin, possibly being caused by a powerful akuma no mi user, but no further details were given. Images captured by witnesses showed the fireball tearing through the sky, leaving a trail of light and fire.
Nobody managed to give their opinion before Luffy showed other sheets that came with the newspaper. "Hey, look at this!" He said showing the posters in hand. "Looks like we've become even more famous."
Soon the posters were placed in front of the group, leaving everyone stunned as they looked at their own bounties.
