Third Person POV
Fish-Man Island.
...
...
Luffy returned to the Ryugu Castle with Domino. As he entered the throne room, where Neptune was at that mont beside all his 4 children judging Hody Jones and Vander Decken IX, both handcuffed and still quite battered from Shirahoshi's attack.
"You are accused of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and treason against the island of the fish-n," Neptune began, showing a tone clearly unsatisfied with the situation.
"Big deal, Neptune. You listened too much to that foolish wife, leading us down an unworthy path, while we have to kneel to the humans on the surface..." Hody Jones openly mocked.
In the room, Luffy stood at a distance, not getting too involved in the discussion and the trial. Present were Whitebeard himself and so of his crew mbers like Marco and others, along with mbers of the Straw Hat crew, listening to the entire trial, such as Robin, Jinbei, and Shirahoshi.
The comnt from Hody Jones quickly enraged Neptune, as he pointed his trident at Hody Jones with fury. "Dare to speak of Otohi once more and I will execute you right here!" he said with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
"Fine words for a man who needs humans for everything... You are weak Neptune and..." Hody Jones said fearlessly. He would accept his death quietly, while still defending his beliefs to the end.
"To think things have co to this point..." Jinbei murmured. He felt responsible for everything that was happening, after all, he let Arlong go after taking him out of Impeldown, where he ended up doing horrible things after talking with Nami about her life in East Blue.
Beside Hody Jones, Vander Decken IX was crying. "I just wanted to marry Princess Shirahoshi," Vander Decken IX said imdiately, looking at the princess. "I did all this for love," he complained, while everyone looked at him like an idiot.
"I already have a fiancé," Shirahoshi said calmly, as the man had received a knife hitting his heart.
Neptune, tired of this, already gave his verdict wanting to end this. "Anyway, I sentence you to death for all your cris!" he exclaid, while none of the jurors from the Island of Tritons denied it, since Shirahoshi had given her testimony against Hody Jones seeing him murder her mother. As for Vander Decken IX, not much was needed to condemn him after years of throwing things at Shirahoshi.
Luffy was just looking from a distance and finally approached. The first thing he went to see was the whale with a crown on its head standing in a corner, drawing the attention of others at that mont. "Hey, whale," he called out, while the whale looked at him curiously. "Do you by any chance want to join my crew?" he asked, as the whale beca more confused by that.
"HUH?!"
"What are you doing??!!" Neptune imdiately exclaid from his throne seeing Luffy asking such a question to his loyal companion, Hoe. "This is the damn thing! You already want to steal my companion, besides having taken my daughter?!" Neptune was scowling at Luffy.
"Don't be like that, father-in-law," Luffy said approaching them. "I don't force anyone, but if he wants, he can co," Luffy said, flashing a smile at Shirahoshi, completely ignoring Neptune.
"Don't call father-in-law, damn it!" Neptune exclaid again with another grimace.
"Gurarara," Whitebeard laughed at that, having remained silent the entire ti.
"Anyway, since we are on the Island of Tritons," Luffy said turning back to Neptune. "Let's finish this and let's prepare the wedding with my future wife," he declared, knowing that Shirahoshi would wish to marry here, with her family rather than in Skypiea.
"Who said you're going to marry her?!" Both Neptune and his other 3 children shouted at Luffy.
"So sudden... I haven't even put on a dress yet!" Shirahoshi shyly listened to those words.
"Don't agree with him!!" The four family mbers shouted at her while she continued to timidly place her hand on her face, while Luffy didn't care about the Neptune family's anger.
Neptune's face changed from enraged to one of defeat a mont later as he remained silent. He was in a place with several people at this mont, wearing a suit next to Shirahoshi in a white dress.
The wedding had been initiated in the island's square while the closest family mbers were there, and the rest of the island was around the square with many people on the upper part watching the royal wedding.
Neptune had no choice but to walk his daughter down the aisle in front of the entire island while he did not look very pleased; Luffy was at the altar while Neptune's Minister of the Left, who would be officiating, stood in front of Luffy.
Shirahoshi looked quite excited, unlike her family while her brothers near the altar seed to share their father's situation. With no choice, Neptune walked his daughter up to Luffy.
"I'm going to kill this human...!" Neptune exclaid, clenching his fists angrily as he lost his precious daughter. Ignoring this, the minister began the wedding vows.
"Do you take this rmaid as your future wife and will be with her until death do you part?" the minister asked Luffy, who nodded while wearing a black suit.
"Yes," he replied with a smile.
The Minister of the Left turned back to the giant rmaid. "Do you take this human as your husband?" He asked Shirahoshi, who nodded timidly.
"Yes," she declared with a small smile to Luffy.
"Both have consented, now I ask you, is there anyone against this marriage? Speak now or forever hold your peace..." The Minister of the Left said to the entire island.
"I OBJECT!!!"
"I OBJECT!!!"
"I OBJECT!!!"
"I OBJECT!!!"
The only ones who exclaid were Neptune and his 3 children.
The Minister of the Left nodded to that. "As no one has spoken up..." He began.
"Hey, don't ignore !" Neptune and your three sons shouted, but the Minister continued.
"Then I declare you husband and wife," He spoke in the end. Shirahoshi ended up grabbing Luffy with her hands, he felt strange with it, but had no other choice as he was kissed by that mouth larger than his entire head.
With that, the wedding was complete, while Neptune and his children cried, Luffy and Shirahoshi entered a carriage that took them back to Ryugu Palace.
The people of Fish-Man Island were celebrating while clapping for the newlyweds, seeing the kingdom's princess marrying a human was a big step towards the goal of the late Queen Otohi, sealing a pact that humans and fish-n could finally unite. Even mbers of the Worst Generation that Luffy had t before were present while keeping to their own thoughts.
A few days passed and Luffy woke up in a giant bed with him and all his wives, including Shirahoshi, while she occupied most of the bed.
Luffy opened his eyes and left before anyone woke up, and walked around the castle until he saw one of his crewmates alone sitting drinking, he ended up joining him.
"You didn't find your room and spent the night here, did you?" Luffy approached.
"You're saying I got lost, of course not." Zoro complained while Luffy shook his head seeing that was indeed the reason.
"Pass the sake." Luffy sat next to the swordsman and started to drink his sake with him.
"So, Captain, what's your plan now that the whole world is paying attention to us?" Zoro ended up asking Luffy, who smiled before answering.
"I want you guys to stay here for a bit. I'm going with the Whitebeard fleet to the New World. I'm going to do so important things and want you guys to et in Sabaody after I cross the Redline." Luffy instructed.
"What do you plan to do in the New World? You said we would train a bit more before entering those waters. Do we need that?" Zoro asked given his strength in Marineford.
"We are strong enough to compete for territories in the New World, but we are still novices with just a few months at sea. I want us to be more prepared when we invade the New World," Luffy said, maintaining a gleam in his eye. "As soon as we get there, I want to dominate all the territories. And we will do it without any problems. After all, if we face the Yonkou, we might even win a victory here and there. However, the World Governnt will spare no effort to destroy us and instigate these fights to try to catch us," Luffy spoke, drinking so liquor to get rid of the hangover.
"So we'll have to deal with pirates and the World Governnt at the sa ti...?" Zoro murmured, a glint of challenge in his eyes, but he understood his captain's reasoning, after all, they could receive attacks from all sides.
"Yes, it's ti for us to dominate the seas. This year of training will give us enough power for that. I no longer possess the power of my Devil Fruits, but that's also good," Luffy said. "After all, I don't want to rely too much on my fruits, since not everything is based on fruits. They are just a support; the base strength and Haki is what dominates everything. I was lucky in fighting Saturn, but I doubt I could maintain that state fighting against the other Elders at the sa ti, I have to be strong enough to face them and even worse things." Luffy continued and drank so more.
Not just that, he would also have to worry about the kingdoms that were his territories. Most of them were already under his na under his flag. He could say that East Blue belonged to him, however, it still lacked military power.
As much as, in these months, all the kingdoms where he had placed instructions, were starting to create armies, it still wasn't enough. He needed weapons and good material, so he bought Wapol's fruit to build a powerful tal and create a weapon factory in Skypiea. He already had an idea of who might consu it.
In the end, a few more days of celebrations happened in the Palace, while Luffy socialized more with the mbers of the Whitebeard crew and spent ti with his brothers, reminiscing about the past.
"So, when will we see Sabo?" Lucy comnted, looking at the fish outside the Palace, feeling quite excited about this future eting.
"Soon," Luffy comnted.
"I'm excited to see him again and to think that he was alive all this ti," Ace murmured with an excited look having revealed the brother he thought had been dead since Alabasta.
"Yes, I'm sure that you will find him first before us, Ace. After all, I doubt he'll stay put after knowing the truth and will probably look for the Whitebeard crew," Luffy comnted and looked at his brothers. "How about we reminisce about old tis with so sake, like when we did our ritual to beco brothers?" Luffy said, and both nodded as he grabbed so sake. Although Lucy was the only one who didn't like alcohol, she still enjoyed the mont.
A mont later, all three brothers were drinking, like when they were just kids in the Goa Kingdom, in the middle of that forest with almost no one knowing of their existence, while they were nobodies and now, their nas echoed around the entire world at this mont, as a new era was arising.
After that, Luffy went to talk with his crew. Lucy accompanied him too, as she was now part of the Straw Hats. It was ti for Luffy to talk about his plans.
"So, we're eting on Sabaody Island today, right?" Nojiko asked.
"Yes, there are people to pick up there, and also Rayleigh will go with us to Skypiea. After we return, we will train for 1 year isolated from the world. I'm sure the genetically modified monsters by Shiki's scientist will be our training base during that period," Luffy said, as everyone nodded.
"You're not going to pick up more won in the New World, are you?" Nami murmured, crossing her arms and giving Luffy a hawkish look.
"What is this? You think I pick up won everywhere?" Luffy mocked.
"You already picked up one in Impel Down," she pointed to Domino, who was standing by.
He just laughed. "Anyway, I'll be going. I'll get in touch with you," Luffy said, ignoring the accusation.
In the end, the Whitebeard Pirates began to head back to the port, while Luffy went to the Moby Dick, hitching a ride. Whitebeard said goodbye to Neptune and the others.
"Hey, don't forget to pick up the Flying Dutchman, that ship is important for my ship collection!" Luffy exclaid and looked at Neptune. "Goodbye, father-in-law!" He said while Neptune cursed him.
In the end, Whitebeard boarded the ship and thus the fleet began to depart, returning to the New World.
"Co on, n! Let's return to the New World as heroes and clean up all the ss those damn Yonkou made in our territories. We'll also teach everyone a lesson!" Newgate declared, while all the pirates alongside Luffy began to shout.
Luffy remained calm, but also excited to finally enter those waters for the first ti.

I'm thinking, I want to change the beginning of this story, starting with a beginning of about 10 chapters before Luffy starts in the barrel. I want to finish this arc, and if I do that, I'll release a chapter one day about the story and another day about an alternative beginning if it's not bad for you.
