Similar to the ending in the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates's victory was somewhat difficult, but Nami and Luffy's situation wasn't as difficult as in the original story.
Luffy's foundation was solidified by Vic, and he didn't show signs of exhaustion when fighting Lucci to the very end; he defeated Lucci while still standing.
Nami was the same; she was no longer a powerless girl. With a certain level of combat strength, a very sharp mind, and the help of the Clima-Tact, she perfectly defeated Kalifa, a user of the Six Powers.
Furthermore, she also learned the technique of Kami-e during the battle, which can be considered as the beginning of her Observation Haki. This is also due to the influence of Vic's help in Awakening Bellemere's Haki, which allowed her to come into contact with Haki many years earlier, and now she is showing signs of Awakening.
Anyway, the Straw Hat Pirates was eventually rescued by the Going Merry. Enies Lobby was blown to Buster Call; they didn't kill a single enemy and suffered heavy losses! If the Straw Hat Pirates really suffered any losses, it must be because Zoro's Yubashiri!
The battle between the pirates and the various departments of Enies Lobby looked incredibly intense, even involving the Buster Call in the end. However, the outcome didn't take any major turns, so Rebecca, who was watching from the sky, didn't intervene and simply watched this battle of never giving up!
To be honest, even Rebecca was moved by this kind of bond between friends, though she herself had it too, and had experienced it, but that was a long time ago!
As time went by, their strength grew, and such incidents became less likely to occur. The last time, it was Vic who covered their retreat and intercepted the powerful Holy Knights. Rebecca and the others didn't know what exactly happened that time, and Vic never mentioned it. When she saw Vic again, Vic had changed his clothes and was now impeccably dressed!
After leaving Enies Lobby, the Straw Hat Pirates hid in Water 7, and Aokiji also hid Water 7. As for Enies Lobby, which had been almost completely destroyed by the Buster Call, that was not his concern.
The Buster Call privileges were granted to Aokiji by the World Government, but he returned them to Spandam within the government. As for the outcome, no one can say anything about it. He saw what he wanted to see and did what he was supposed to do; it was practically perfect.
As for the follow-up question about the Straw Hat Pirates's final fate, Aokiji said he didn't know. Enies Lobby was already bombed so badly that the Straw Hat Pirates might have been wiped out in the bombardment. In any case, Aokiji didn't see the Straw Hat Pirates escape Enies Lobby!
As for how the Straw Hat Pirates reappeared afterward, that's none of his business. Pirates are always good at escaping, and Enies Lobby was so chaotic, it's normal to miss some things. You wouldn't fire Marine Admiral like me over something so trivial, would you?
The Straw Hat Pirates remained in Water 7 to wait for the ship. After the Going Merry rescued them from Enies Lobby, it had completely exhausted its last bit of life force and broke in two upon returning to Water 7!
Luffy and the others said their goodbyes with tears in their eyes. Franky watched from the side and cried even harder. Then he took over the Straw Hat Pirates's new ship. Anyway, the money they stole from Usopp had already been used to buy the best shipbuilding timber, the Treasure Tree Adam.
Franky's only wish was to build a good ship that could sail on any sea, just like the Golden Jack built by his mentor Tom!
Franky didn't want to own the ships he built; his dream was to see people he respected conquer all the world's seas in the ships he built himself!
Franky now only acknowledges the Straw Hat Pirates, so the decision to build Straw Hat Pirates using the best materials is not abrupt, but rather very reasonable. It's like a top-notch swordsmith wanting to give his masterpiece to a peerless swordsman—it's a sense of recognition!
In order to build the ship he had already designed as soon as possible, Franky even brought in his senior apprentice Iceburg. The two of them worked hard and completed the Thousand Sunny in just a few days.
In the original story, after the Enies Lobby battle, Aokiji informed Garp about Luffy's situation because Luffy had caused such a huge commotion!
Enies Lobby, as one of the three major institutions of the World Government, represents the face of the World Government. Luffy's actions are tantamount to slapping the World Government in the face, so Garp must step forward. Only when he reveals the relationship between Luffy and himself will the World Government not make Luffy at this critical juncture.
The Five Elders Hero of the Marines to give the Straw Hat Pirates some face, otherwise, without a ship, they would be trapped on this island by the World Government.
If it were Aokiji instead, the Five Elders would definitely not give him any face; his treatment would probably be similar to that of Akainu, who later became Fleet Admiral.
Therefore, in the original work, Garp openly came to Water 7 and publicly announced his grandfather-grandson relationship with the pirate Straw Hat Boy Dragon in front of so many people, as well as the relationship between Straw Hat Boy and Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Basically, I'm telling the Five Elders, give me some face and let's just let it go this time. If you really keep pressing the issue, be careful the Revolutionary Army will come after you. Let's all compromise and just leave it at that.
In the original story, during the Straw Hat Pirates's time in Water 7, apart from Marine Garp the Hero, no other Marines or World Government members came knocking on their door. Did the Five Elders genuinely not know the Straw Hat Pirates was still alive, or were they simply turning a blind eye?
It's most likely the latter. Although many agents returned to Enies Lobby from Water 7 by Sea Train during the Enies Lobby battle, not all of them left. Luffy and his crew also held such a big banquet, so it's unlikely that no one was unaware that they were on the island.
And with so many Marines Garp brought along, who can say for sure that there weren't World Government agents among them? After all, the Navy is the World Government's henchman, so they definitely have oversight mechanisms; there's no doubt about that.
Therefore, the Five Elders must have received news that the Straw Hat Pirates was still alive. As for their lack of action, it was a compromise made after weighing the pros and cons. Garp has been guarding the Water 7!
However, due to Garp's influence and the threat from the Revolutionary Army, the Five Elders compromised this time. Later, when Luffy defeated the Shichibukai Gecko Moria, the Five Elders immediately issued an order to kill Kuma. If it weren't for the deep revolutionary friendship between Kuma and Dragon, the Straw Hat Pirates would have been wiped out on Thriller Bark!
What appears to be an adventure for the Straw Hat Pirates actually involves a lot of complex interpersonal relationships and social interactions!
Without these connections, given the Straw Hat Pirates's troublemaking and attention-seeking nature, they wouldn't have even made it out of the East Blue; they would have been captured by Smoker in Loguetown.
Therefore, completely unrestrained adventure requires either a background or solid skills; without either, you will be harmed by your own willful heart.
Just like Eustass Kid from the Supernovas, if Dark King Rayleigh and the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't been there to share the firepower with him on Sabaody Archipelago, Kizaru would have already brought the Pacifista to finish him off. How could they have taken the opportunity to escape?
Then, when he arrived in the New World, he went to challenge Red-Haired Shanks, Four Emperors. This could be considered acting recklessly or overestimating his abilities. As a result, he lost an arm without even seeing Red-Hair himself. It was only because the Red Hair Pirates were merciful that the Kid Pirates were wiped out.
Then came the Supernovas Alliance. Kid and the others were all betrayed by Apoo and ended up in Kaido's hands. The others chose to surrender, but Kid remained defiant and was imprisoned in the quarry.
He was rescued when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived in Wano Country. In the end, the three captains worked together to defeat two Four Emperors. This time, he was once again saved by the Straw Hat Boy. Otherwise, Kaido would have definitely killed him once he ran out of patience!
After leaving Wano Country, Kid once again acted on his whims. He wanted to seek revenge on Four Emperors for Red-Hair his arm. After all, he had just teamed up with Law to take down one of the Four Emperors, and he was confident in his strength again. Then he was defeated by Red-Hair's Divine Departure.
If his subordinates hadn't produced a rubbing of the Road Poneglyph in time to beg for mercy, it would have been another complete annihilation. This is the fate of those who have no backing, no connections, and no power, and who can do whatever they want. Even Vic, a transmigrator who knows a lot about future events, had to climb the social ladder and sneak around to become stronger when he first arrived in this world. This speaks volumes!
After the Enies Lobby incident, Aokiji called Garp, but Garp did not bring Koby and Helmeppo to Water 7.
When Luffy set sail, the three of them had already discussed it back in Windmill Village. Dragon in the East Blue would be in charge, and Vik in the Grand Line would be in charge. That's why Garp didn't come to Water 7 to show their relationship this time.
Without any scruples, the Five Elders naturally wouldn't let the Straw Hat Pirates. They sent a CP0 agent to Water 7. With the Straw Hat Pirates's current strength, a single CP0 agent would be enough to wipe out the entire Straw Hat Pirates!
