East Blue, Syrup Village, construction site.
Syrup Village's station was nearly complete, and the Sea Train route passing through it had already opened.
At this moment, Luffy had returned to the construction site.
At the same time, the World Government's brutal rule had been completely overthrown. League of Heroes held a general assembly at Mary Geoise and established an official nation and government.
In the new government, Dragon, the Alliance's deputy commander-in-chief, remained highly influential.
Since Garen had always left government affairs to others, Dragon instead became the de facto head of administration, his status no less than that of the former Five Elders.
As a result, Luffy, this privileged second-generation official, had become an even more untouchable privileged second-generation official. In the eyes of more old-fashioned commoners, he was practically a prince of royal blood, on roughly the same level as the former Celestial Dragons.
Since Garen had not formally married or had children yet, Luffy was now the most powerful second-generation official in the world.
Yet this most powerful second-generation official had none of the arrogance one would expect from the child of a high-ranking official.
Comrade Luffy had resolutely abandoned the pampered life of a second-generation official, humbled himself among the masses, went deep into the grassroots, and came alone to a remote East Blue village to sweat and bleed for the construction of Demacian Justice.
He mingled with the workers, insisted on lining up with the employees for meals, went deep into the front lines of production, and solved many concrete problems in both work and daily life. The construction site was transformed.
Comrade Luffy's deeds embodied the new spirit of a new era, marking the permanent end of an age in which imperial relatives and powerful elites profited through influence while a minority exploited the
