    Third Person POV

    ...

    Luffy was in a room made of gold, analyzing the group standing in front of him, while several people sat beside him, including Nami, Vivi, Shirahoshi, Lucy, and Hachi. They were facing Tesoro and all the members of his crew, even those Luffy had not encountered until now, like Dice and Tanaka, while Baccarat and Carina, Nami''s friend, were also present.

    "Well, let''s begin... it''s a pleasure to meet you all. As you know... I am Monkey D. Luffy, an emperor of the sea." Luffy declared, as the world already considered him one, and he himself affirmed his status as an emperor, looking at them with confidence that he could destroy them all if they dared to challenge him, since that''s how a Yonko acted.

    "Yes..." Tesoro murmured, not bothering to introduce himself due to their previous meeting with Jon while he was fully bandaged after getting hurt multiple times by Luffy. After all, he had not only injuries but several broken bones as well.

    "..." The rest remained silent, just observing how the situation unfolded.

    "And you want us to join your fleet?" Tesoro commented, speaking on behalf of all his comrades.

    "Yes, I want you to take Gran Tesoro out of these waters and bring it to my territory, where I''ll gather all my islands together so we can concentrate and organize ourselves more efficiently." Luffy said, while Tesoro watched him intently, tapping the table with his finger in a thoughtful rhythm before addressing the Straw Hat.

    "Are you serious about that? You won''t back down? After all, as far as I know, no one in this world has ever gone against those people." He spoke, waiting for Luffy to show confidence. Even the Pirate King never got close to what you''re planning to do.

    "Yes, this war is inevitable. After I find the One Piece." Luffy said.

    "And why are you so confident about finding an island that no one has found in the last two decades?" Tesoro asked, and Luffy understood his question.

    "Simple..." Luffy began. "To reach Laugh Tale, you need to have the four Road Poneglyphs, as that''s the key to finding the island." He said.

    After those words, he surprised everyone with that information, even his crew seemed unaware of it.

    "You''re serious, Luffy!?" Nami stood up from her chair at that moment and looked at him, stunned, while asking, as Luffy had not shared that information until now.

    "Yes. There are four red Poneglyphs that are very well guarded, even for me. That''s why this war against two Yonko will be necessary. We''ll get two of them at once." Luffy said confidently. "One is in Wano, in Kaido''s possession, and the other is in Whole Cake Island, in Big Mom''s possession... Our goal is simple: take them both down and pave the way to get the Poneglyphs." He declared. There was the third one, which they would obtain with relative ease, as it was in Zou, and Luffy knew how easily they could befriend the Minks. And part of our crew is already heading there.

    ''But the last one will be a bit more problematic. I don''t know its location, but I believe it''s related to Shanks or perhaps the island of the giants. Luckily, I have Brogy and Dorry, and with both on my side, it will be easier to enter Elbaf, though I''m not sure if it''s really in Shanks'' territory. After all, Elbaf is always described as one of the strongest and most mysterious islands in the world...'' Luffy was debating internally about the last Poneglyph.

    "I see... So we need that to find Roger''s treasure...?" Tesoro asked.

    "Yes, and we need the information that those four Poneglyphs will give us. But this is just the beginning. I doubt we''ll only have to deal with a few pirate enemies. Chaos will be imminent. But anyway, that''s a conversation for another time. What I want now is your confirmation, Tesoro. I know you''ve been listening to me until now, so it''s my turn to hear from you." Luffy said, after all, they had only had an initial conversation, and Tesoro had already calmed down a bit and given up on killing himself, knowing that Luffy wouldn''t be extreme and had given his word.

    "Alright, I will join your fleet," he confirmed the next moment, knowing he would be under someone again, but this time it wouldn''t be so bad, so he continued. "As long as I get what I want, which is finally being able to take revenge on those people I''ve always hated my entire life. I''m angry at myself for just watching them without really hurting them when they stepped foot here. But I didn''t do anything because I''m not stupid enough to want to kill them and have everything I own destroyed."

    Tesoro hadn''t finished yet. "Now, will I have permission to kill them? And if the World Government tries to destroy me, can I count on you after that?" Tesoro asked, while a smile appeared on Luffy''s face.

    "Of course. After all, we are a crew specialized in causing chaos and killing Tenryuubitos. So feel free," Luffy responded with a smile.

    "I''m hungry," Lucy''s voice emerged beside him, as she seemed quite bored with the conversation.

    "Well, could you get my sister some food?" Luffy asked, while Tesoro nodded for Carina to take her to the kitchen.

    "It''s fine if we stay a bit longer, right? After all, I want you to head to Dressrosa in the meantime. Those waters already belong to me. Wait there until we finish our course, as we need to visit a few more islands," Luffy said, concluding the conversation.

    "Alright... feel free. But can I ask something?" Tesoro knew that Luffy would win a fortune by playing again, but he still had great curiosity about something, and as Luffy nodded for him to continue, he asked.

    "Well, I hope you''re not agreeing to this just because I''m your boss now, right? I was hoping you''d come because I''m a lucky, charming guy who knows how to make a lady''s heart race with emotion," he commented.

    "Don''t forget to add narcissist..." the feminine voice replied.

    "What can I say... am I not a lucky guy?" he teased with a smile as he looked at the well-dressed woman in front of him. "Lady Baccarat."

    "Maybe you are all of that..." she murmured, admitting with a bit of embarrassment, after all, she was sexually attracted to him after he defeated Tesoro, and he knew it. He hadn''t missed the chance to hold her in his arms before leaving this place.

    "Anyway, let''s continue our night. After all, you owe me a date, don''t you?" he teased her, and they spent a few hours together. It didn''t take long for them to get closer, more intimately, with Luffy charming her in every way he could. Baccarat was already emotionally shaken by all the events of the night. Luffy easily removed her clothes after purchasing a bed and making sure no one would approach that side of the island, and they made love right there.

    "Where''s Luffy? I hope he''s not with another woman right now," Nami grumbled aboard the Black Pearl, waiting with the others on the ship for their husband so they could sleep together.

    Back to Luffy, after seeing the woman wrapping herself in a blanket, covering her naked body while Baccarat slept soundly, he had indulged a little with the Moa Moa no Mi while playing with her, to the point where he had to cancel the sound and noise in the area due to her loud moaning. Giving the woman a farewell kiss, Luffy leapt through the air, leaving Gran Tesoro to return to the ship, after all, he still had to satisfy his wives that very night. Meanwhile, Baccarat couldn''t help but smile as her eyes opened, quite pleased, despite having just slept with a man she had met only a few hours ago.
