The Aftermath: Reactions from All Sides (Part Two)

The Grand Line, Alabasta Kingdom, inside the Royal Palace.

"Hmph! Those Navy guys are just trying to take credit again! It was the same last time for our country, and it's the same again this time. It's so annoying!" Vivi pouted, complaining. "But, whatever, Luffy and the others won't care too much about this, as long as East Blue can be rescued! Now, a huge weight can be lifted off their shoulders!"

At this point, a happy smile appeared on her lips. "Continue your adventure, my friends!"

The New World, the White Soil Island.

"The Navy's behavior of taking credit for nothing is truly disgusting!"

"Who can argue with that! No wonder the navy's standing in the public eye has been declining in recent years; it's all because they haven't paid enough attention to their image!"

"That's right! But the leader's son is really amazing! He was able to defeat even that legendary great pirate, he's incredibly strong!"

"Who can argue with that! After all, his family's bloodline is so impressive."

"..."

"..."

Hearing the whispers of his subordinates not far behind him, Long You said softly, "Bloodline?" "Perhaps Luffy and I both have it! But more than that, we have different perspectives on this world. Luffy, go and understand this world! You'll become stronger afterward."

Just then, a subordinate rushed in excitedly, came up behind him, and said, "Report, sir, Chief of Staff Sabo and Koala's ship have docked! Should we have them come to see you right now?!"

"No need! Let them rest for a while first! Have them come to see me later!" Long shook his head and said, "Then, ask the four Army Commanders how much longer it will take them to arrive."

"Yes, Chief."

The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar of Shakky.

"When will this behavior of the Navy taking credit for themselves ever end? It's been like this before, and it's still like this now—it's been the same for ages!" Shakky said with considerable helplessness.

"Heh!" Rayleigh chuckled and said, "After all, they represent the side of justice, while we pirates are the embodiment of 'evil.' How can we possibly save the world and its people!"

At this point, his tone suddenly changed, becoming eager, "However, I'm increasingly looking forward to meeting the Straw Hat Luffy! He really looks like you, Roger."

The New World, Moby Dick.

"Gurara! The Straw Hat Luffy Pirates has really done the Navy a big favor!" Whitebeard took a sip of his drink and said, "Golden Lion isn't going to the East Blue! That means Sengoku can spare more troops to deal with me! But I won't let you succeed so easily! Sengoku, by the way! Marco."

At this point, he turned to Marco beside him and asked, "When will the other squad leaders and the pirate crews affiliated with us arrive?!"

"They're already on their way! They should all arrive in about half an hour!" Marco said, flipping through the report in his hand. "This time, their operation is being carried out covertly, so it will be slower."

"Alright! In a bit, send a declaration of war message to the Navy in the chat!" Whitebeard said, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Hey! Pops, didn't you say you were going to act stealthily and catch the navy off guard? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?" Marco asked, puzzled.

"That's what I thought before, but now I have a better idea. Sengoku wants to focus his efforts on us, so I absolutely can't let him succeed. I'm going to muddy the waters of this war!" Whitebeard explained, "Muddled waters are easier to fish in, and that will give us a better chance of rescuing Ace. Got it, Marco?"

"I understand, Pops. I'll take care of it right away."

The New World, Red Force.

"Tch! The Navy did absolutely nothing, yet they were the first to jump out. How disgusting!"

"Yeah, but never mind, Luffy probably won't care too much."

"Yeah, Luffy's probably already on his way to the New World!"

"That means I'll be able to meet him soon! I can't wait!"

"You can tell! It's been so long since I've seen him! I really miss him!"

"..."

"..."

Hearing the nostalgic chatter of his crew around him, a hint of anticipation appeared in Shanks' eyes. "Luffy, it'll be soon! We'll meet again soon!"

Impel Down, Level 6, inside a prison cell.

"Thank you! Luffy, thank you for saving everyone and saving the East Blue," Ace said with a smile.

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.

"Luffy, Luffy, what was your reward?!" Chopper asked, jumping up and down.

Not long ago, Luffy's MVP reward appeared before him, a cloud of gas composed of white, black, and gold.

Before anyone could even see what the gas was, it entered Luffy's body.

Because of Chopper's previous experience, the group wasn't worried, but they couldn't help but be curious.

"H... Haki!" Luffy muttered, clenching his fist, which instantly turned black. "That God from Beyond the Domain said it's a power that can be used to deal with Devil Fruit Users, especially Logia -Devil Fruit Users. It's the most effective power besides Seastone!"

"Wow! This is amazing! We won't be afraid of Aokiji anymore when we encounter him!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah! Hahaha, that's not all! Chopper, I have another great idea: to incorporate Haki into my Devil Fruit ability. I'm still figuring out how to do it, but once I create it, I'll show you the first demonstration!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

"Really?! That's great! Luffy, you have to do your best! I really want to see it!" Chopper exclaimed expectantly.

"Sanji, what was your reward?!" Usopp asked, looking at Sanji had also received a reward.

"One of the Six Powers of CP9 from Enies Lobby, Geppo." Enies Lobby Sanji, his mood low.

"Wow! That ability to fly! Your reward is amazing, Sanji!" Chopper exclaimed enviously.

"But I don't want that! I want the ability to become invisible! That way I can fulfill my lifelong dream!" Sanji said indignantly.

"Sanji... Sanji, what... what is your lifelong dream?" Chopper asked expectantly.

"Enter the women's bathhouse," Sanji declared sternly.

"..."

"What a despicable lifelong dream!" Zoro said with disgust.

"You stinking Moss Head, you're not allowed to slander my life's dream! Believe me or not, I'll kick you to death!"

"Come on then! I'm not afraid of you, you lecherous cook!"

"..."

"..."

As the two were talking, they were about to fight when Nami stepped in and punched each of them, knocking them to the ground. She said, "Alright! Since that Golden Lion isn't going to the East Blue, let's continue our adventure! Let's head towards the New World!"

"Good!"

Meanwhile, a special Easter egg, unique to this particular video Jianying, also began playing in the video feed.
