    "I want you to settle in these waters for now. I don''t care if you receive clients, but I don''t want you enslaving anyone else in debt, so cancel all the loans you offer your clients," Luffy spoke in front of Tesoro and his main crew, sitting in King Riku''s chair as he began addressing his companions one by one.

    "Yes..." Tesoro replied without objection.

    "You can go now," Luffy said, needing to speak to other members of the fleet. There were also the members who had been freed from Gran Tesoro.

    "..." Tesoro just started to leave after receiving instructions about the next steps beyond what Luffy had said, as their meeting lasted an hour.

    Tesoro and most of his members left the improvised King Riku''s room, while a woman remained.

    "Baccarat..." Luffy murmured.

    "I wanted to talk a bit..." she commented.

    Luffy just sighed. "We can do that in the next few days... I''ll be busy today and need to go to Paradise by the end of the day..." Luffy said, since the woman in front of him clearly wanted to be with him.

    "Alright... seems like luck isn''t on my side after all..." she murmured.

    "We''ll have time for that, Baccarat, so wait a bit longer," Luffy said.

    She simply began to leave as Perona, Baby-5, and Domino approached, entering the place.

    "Did you become a king or something?" Perona asked in her usual mocking tone, while looking at Luffy sitting on Dressrosa''s throne.

    "I''m a Yonko, I''m above any king of my territories," Luffy retorted.

    "Anyway... master... Are you cheating on me!?" Baby-5 exclaimed with her childish behavior.

    "Stop it, you''re my only maid, so no." Luffy replied, already knowing she was referring to Viola.

    "Anyway... I want to give you some instructions..." Luffy began.

    After a while, they left, and Luffy stayed there for a while before going to speak to the prisoners of Sugar and Gran Tesoro.

    The next group was the one he had been waiting for the most: Zou''s group, with Alvida, Jinbei, Franky, Bepo, Pedro, and Carrot.

    "Captain!" Bepo greeted him while Franky appeared with a wide smile, Jinbei with a serious look, and Pedro and Carrot a bit cautious behind. But the person at the front quickly advanced toward Luffy before jumping into his lap.

    "Husband!" Alvida said, thrown onto him.

    "Hello, how was the trip?" Luffy asked.

    "Very well, but I missed you..." she commented with a mischievous smile.

    "Maybe later?" Luffy suggested, moving her aside, as he had to receive his other companions. Alvida stayed next to the throne.

    "I see you came, Pedro... and even you, Carrot..." Luffy commented while they both looked a bit surprised.

    "You called me... asked why among the entire Mink Tribe... after all, I don''t remember meeting before..." Pedro spoke cautiously, knowing Luffy was the captain of that monster who defeated the entire Mink Tribe alone.

    "He knows my name?" Carrot asked, surprised, although they could have mentioned it over the den den mushi when they called.

    "You know... about that?" he murmured, more fearful than before. It seemed this man knew all the secrets of the world.

    "You could say I know many things, but unfortunately, this world still hides many secrets beyond my reach. Either way, I need to know if I can count on Wano or not. After all, Kaido will fall now, not in a year with Momonosuke''s return," Luffy said firmly.

    "I..." The man was growing more and more bewildered listening to Luffy, but Luffy''s confidence made him believe he really would take down Kaido now, not as Kozuki Toki had predicted. "I don''t believe that everyone in Wano who believes in the return of Oden''s heir thinks Kaido will fall now, but my master and a few others are starting to trust in your victory... So you''ll certainly find allies when you go to Wano. But also, with the people being pressured like never before, I believe many others will bet their hopes on you... in the midst of despair," he said, and Luffy found that reasonable.

    "I wonder about Kozuki Hiyori''s stance..." Luffy asked himself softly, knowing the woman trusted her mother''s prophecy more than his victory now.

    His gaze returned to the man. "That''s good... We''ll defeat Kaido, and I don''t want to seem like just another dictator. It won''t be a secret that I''ll make Wano my territory... but don''t compare me to Kaido. I intend to open its borders to the world. My companion and wife is Kaido''s daughter, but she loves Wano deeply, so I''m sure we''ll make it a better place," Luffy replied.

    "About the Kozuki family..." the man suddenly spoke, cautious with his words. Despite Luffy''s position and speaking calmly, it was hard to trust someone who would make Wano their territory after what Kaido had done. His fear was for the Kozuki family, which, despite being somewhat mocked because Wano was in this state, was still the sovereign family of that land.

    "I won''t interfere with the internal power of the Kozuki, but they will have to follow some rules for Wano. Don''t worry—Wano, with happy people, their needs met, and a powerful army of samurai, is much more useful to me than the current state of the country. So I ask that you trust my words. After all, I don''t go back on my promises. We will bring prosperity to that country as soon as we defeat Kaido and Big Mom," Luffy declared with a smile.

    "..." The man just looked at him for a while, storing all his words as he nodded.

    "Anyway, you can go. Feel free in Dressrosa and find a place to stay. We''ll start taking care of Wano as soon as I return and settle everything with the rest of my crew." Luffy began to rise from the throne.

    "Now it''s time to leave with Bepo. I''ll be back soon," he said, starting to leave the throne as the man stood there, thinking about everything he''d heard.
