Chapter 445 – The Beginning of the Reverie.

    [Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

    Third Person POV

    New Word.

    ...

    ...

    In the sky, as the Straw Hat fleet traversed the clouds, advancing at full speed toward their goal, something suddenly flew past the fleet at incredible speed, continuing ahead.

    A silhouette shot past the last ships, which were islands, while dinosaurs and animals glanced upward, catching a fleeting glimpse of the object thanks to their Haki.

    As this same object crossed the island, moving on to the next and quickly leaving it behind, it zigzagged through the ships. Everyone watched the trail it left in the sky due to its incredible speed.

    "Shishishishi..." A girl''s laughter echoed as she enjoyed passing through all the ships in the fleet, being pulled by her brother, moving ahead of all the ships and performing stunts above, below, and around them. Luffy flew through the fleet, flapping his wings at high speed, carrying his sister in his arms.

    Near the leading ship, a woman leaped off a vessel with serpents at its prow, floating in the sky.

    "LUUUUFFFFYYYY!!!!" Hancock exclaimed, advancing to intercept Luffy mid-air. He had no choice but to catch her, as she laughed excitedly.

    Luffy crossed a few more ships before finally landing on the one leading the fleet. With everyone''s eyes on him, he appeared on the deck of the Black Pearl, slowing down to land, carrying Lucy and Hancock. His face was covered in lipstick marks from Hancock attacking him after he caught her.

    "You''re finally here, Captain!" Usopp said, approaching with a grin.

    "Did you handle that issue you went to resolve?" Robin asked, stepping closer to him.

    "Yes, Zephyr''s plans won''t be a problem for us or the New World anymore," Luffy said, pulling a small stone from his pocket. It was a trick he had learned some time ago.

    "What''s that?" Chopper asked curiously.

    "It''s Zephyr''s base island. Luffy ended up shrinking the entire island..." Lucy murmured, still shocked by Luffy''s ability. He had already shrunk the ships, but upon seeing the island about to take off and leave, he decided to grab the whole thing. And that''s exactly what he did. He shrank it so much it fit in his pocket. He thought the documents and other resources there might be useful.

    "Anyway, let''s get ready. As I said before, the fleet will continue heading to Wano on its own, but we''ll move ahead to take care of a few things since we need to handle another country before the war," Luffy explained, with everyone nodding, as he had discussed this with them beforehand.

    "And who''s going with you, Captain?" Zoro asked.

    "Well, I''ll take only a few people while you all organize the fleet''s journey to Wano. Coming with me will be you, Zoro, my sister, Kuina, Yamato, Chouchou, Nojiko, Reiju and Lami from the crew, but Sai and the samurai will join us as well. I want everyone else to wait until we reach Wano and receive further orders," Luffy said, smiling.

    "And are you leaving already, Luffy?" Nami asked.

    "Of course not. First, we''re having a feast!" he declared, making everyone smile.

    In the end, they threw another grand party, spending a day celebrating between the flagship and the other ships while Bepo continued guiding the fleet day after day. Eventually, they departed, moving toward Wano on a different ship, with Nojiko using her explosion power to propel the ship forward faster than the fleet.

    They planned to arrive a few days ahead of the fleet since they needed to organize an entire country. Luffy wanted Wano to fight for its own land and not simply have him solve everything for them. And so, they set off.

    Two days had passed since Lucy had defeated Zephyr, and the world grew increasingly anxious to hear the next news from the major powers of this era, following Whitebeard''s death. On this day, the first kings began to appear beneath Mary Geoise.

    "So this is the city of the gods..." A prince with an admiring gaze asked, looking at the place above the Redline for the first time in his life, his eyes gleaming with greedy ambition.

    There were over 1,000 ships, all packed. Each ship carried one or two Pacifistas and had a singular objective: to demonstrate to all the kings present at Mary Geoise what would happen to those who defied the World Government—complete eradication of the Straw Hat crew and even two other Yonko.

    The fleet suddenly began to split, following orders from the leaders. One portion advanced toward the middle of the sea where Wano was located, while a smaller contingent moved toward the kingdoms of Dressrosa and others aligned with Luffy.

    This was the World Government''s response to the Straw Hats, a preparation for their imminent destruction. Mary Geoise was fortified with equipment designed to combat meteors the Straw Hats might send.

    It was, at last, the opportunity the Government saw to try to destroy them once and for all, without even relying on the Navy for this mission.
