Third Person POV
Alabasta.
...
...
Black Pearl quickly passed through the Red Line, advancing toward Paradise, taking a cautious approach so that none of its enemies would notice its movent high above the sea or the surface of the structure.
While they were still a little far from Mary Geoise, Luffy didn't stop looking in that direction, holding Sabo's Vivre Card in his hand and glancing at it from ti to ti. He noticed that the card was still intact, with no signs of burning.
"You're not using a Logia this ti, but I'm sure the power of Ramuh will help you. Just stay alive, Sabo!" Luffy murmured as they quickly moved away. He knew that Sabo had gotten himself into serious trouble and would face, for the first ti, the one who occupied the Empty Throne along with the Gorosei, if things played out as they did in the original.
If he saw that card start to burn, he might do the craziest thing of his life and charge straight into the Holy City without a second thought to save Sabo.
In Alabasta, the heat was as intense as any sunny day as the Black Pearl finally arrived in the kingdom after crossing all the islands of the Grand Line to get there. The ship began descending directly toward Alabasta's capital, where King Cobra was already aware of their arrival.
After all, Vivi had just called her father, informing him that Luffy was coming to rescue them and take them to the New World, as it was no longer safe for them to stay there.
Luffy hadn't let him go to the Reverie precisely because Cobra might be killed, just like in the original story (One Piece), and now they were officially enemies of the World Governnt if they remained in that place. That's why he accepted Alabasta's decision to leave Paradise, as not even the kingdom would be safe with the governnt soon using the Mother Fla.
The situation in the castle was quite agitated. Cobra looked at his subordinates and smiled as he addressed them.
"I'm quite excited, but tell ... Am I being mistaken?"
His subordinates exchanged glances, a little lost.
"My king, perhaps you're worrying too much..."
"How could I not? I want to see my grandson soon, and I want to present myself in the best possible way!" Cobra stated, determined. After all, he would finally et Vivi's son, whom he had only been able to see through the Den Den Mushi until now.
He wanted to et Sinbad in person—the future of the Nefertari family and, according to his decision, the next king of Alabasta. Cobra believed that by the ti he passed away, the boy would already be old enough to take the throne and ensure the Nefertari lineage continued to rule strong and firm.
"My king! My king! The ship is approaching!" Before the guards could say anything else, one of the soldiers ran toward him, pointing at the windows.
"A ship is coming from the sky, directly toward the palace!" he exclaid.
"So, they have finally arrived..." Cobra smiled excitedly. "Is my grandson with them? Tell !"
"My king, I can't say for sure..." The guard seed uncertain, as the ship was still too far to identify a child among the crew.
"In any case, let's go welco them!" Cobra concluded, hurrying toward the castle courtyard.
The Black Pearl landed smoothly in the palace courtyard. As soon as the ship stopped, Luffy, Bepo, and Hugo disembarked. Enel, on the other hand, remained on board, watching everything with a bored expression.
Cobra then stepped forward and smiled as he saw Luffy.
"Monkey D. Luffy, it's good to see you!" He laughed as he greeted him. However, his eyes soon scanned the area around Luffy.
"Now... Where is my grandson?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You think I would bring my son on a trip like this? Cobra, don't be so dramatic." Luffy said in a bored tone.
For a mont, Cobra seed disappointed to hear that, but he quickly cleared his throat and sighed.
"I suppose you're right. My grandson's safety is what matters most. Either way, we're heading to the New World, right?" he said excitedly.
Luffy nodded. This guy was really emotional when it ca to Sinbad.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll start moving Alabasta in a few days. But did you place the Den Den Mushi in all regions of the kingdom? After all, this will cause mass panic if we move the kingdom without prior warning." Luffy questioned. After all, the kingdom would simply start moving out of nowhere, and those unaware would panic—not to ntion the people outside Alabasta who would return only to find their holand gone.
"Of course, we've already taken care of everything." Bell, the loyal chief of the guard and advisor, also stepped up beside the king, informing Luffy of the situation.
"Great. First, we need to deal with all the governnt agents." Luffy said. "Baroque Works operating here has already identified many of them, but I have a mber who is even more effective at this."
Luffy then looked at Enel.
"Enel, go hunt down all the governnt mbers infiltrated in the country with Hugo." He ordered.
Since Cobra hadn't attended the Reverie, the World Governnt had sent several agents to gather information on what was happening in Alabasta.
"For starters, we need to cut off all transmissions the enemies have so we don't run into problems while moving the kingdom." Luffy discussed with the three mbers who had accompanied him, explaining the situation.
Enel and Hugo would be responsible for eliminating all governnt agents and any suspicious individuals. Luffy and Bepo would head to the sea and coastal cities, as many people were traveling outside Alabasta and needed to be inford and brought back. No citizen had been previously warned about the plan to move the kingdom to the New World, as that would have already alerted the World Governnt.
Now, it was a race against ti. Luffy knew he had to act fast to protect all his kingdoms, especially after declaring an irreversible war against Mary Geoise during the transmission he had made just hours ago.
Quickly, they left the castle. Luffy stored the Black Pearl in his pocket and advanced with Bepo at his side, while Hugo and Enel departed to another part of the kingdom.
"People of Alabasta! I am here to deliver urgent news about the future of our kingdom!" King Cobra began the transmission, as everyone in the country turned to listen through the Den Den Mushi in the town squares of every city and village.
At the sa ti, Enel reappeared in the first identified city, pinpointing the suspicious individuals. In an instant, he started emitting lightning, catching all the governnt agents off guard.
The crowd was stunned to see him in action. A man over two ters tall simply appeared and, without hesitation, captured so individuals before shooting through the sky, eliminating them imdiately.
Luffy had been clear in his order:
"No governnt agent can be left alive."
And there was no one better than Enel and Hugo for this kind of job. They were already used to executing targets at their captain's command.
As Luffy landed in one of the coastal cities, people listened to King Cobra's broadcast, informing them that the kingdom would be moved due to imminent danger. The World Governnt planned to destroy them with a Buster Call, which sent the citizens into a panic. Many families were distressed, as their children and husbands were at sea at that mont.
Luffy felt all that anguish through his Observation Haki and quickly landed in front of a desperate woman. She was startled to see him.
The man wore a cape with the Straw Hats' emblem, but unlike before, he no longer carried his iconic straw hat. Even so, it was evident that he was a pirate.
"Tell , where is your son?" Luffy asked. "I will bring him back to Alabasta before we move the kingdom."
The woman, surprised, swallowed hard before answering.
"My son... He is on a rchant ship leaving the kingdom of Whisky Peak. He was supposed to arrive here in three days. Please, they won't move Alabasta before then, right?" she asked, desperate.
Luffy gave her a small reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, I'll go get him." He assured her while grabbing a Log Pose to track the route to Whisky Peak.
At the sa ti, Luffy started talking to various people throughout the city. Many were worried about their relatives who were off the island. He gathered several Log Poses and realized that most of the missing citizens were on rchant ships scattered in various directions. So were even farther away, and they wouldn't be able to retrieve them in ti—they would have to seek refuge in either the Drum Kingdom or the Kingdom of Lunarchy.
With that settled, Luffy shot off from the city and headed toward the sea.
Quickly, he began finding ship after ship, tracking their routes and using his speed—multiplied hundreds of tis—to move easily across the region of islands. At each ship he encountered, he exchanged a few words, confird the people he was looking for, then shrunk the ships and placed them in his pocket.
It didn't take long for the desert near the city to start filling with ships, as they couldn't remain at sea while Alabasta was moved through the sky.
In the end, Luffy had already placed nurous ships outside the first city, ensuring they would be moved along with the kingdom, and then advanced to the next coastal city.
While Luffy was bringing ships from the sea, Bepo did the sa, using the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi to levitate and transport them back to Alabasta. This way, an entire fleet was relocated before being gently placed on solid ground. Then, Bepo set off for the next city.
anwhile, in another part of Alabasta…
Things were not going well. A coastal city was being raided by a group of pirates.
"Bastards!" A pirate shouted, pointing his gun at the city's guards and n, who were trying to defend themselves.
The leader of that crew had a bounty of 25,000,000 berries and believed that looting a small city in Alabasta would be easy. After spending a week sailing through the Grand Line for the first ti since leaving the South Blue in pursuit of his dreams, he thought he had found a vulnerable target.
He laughed along with his n as the city's defenders were taken down one by one. However, suddenly, a massive shadow appeared. Before he could react, a gigantic stone in the shape of a fist ca hurtling at high speed, smashing into one of the pirate ships and exploding on impact.
The pirate captain was terrified and exclaid in shock.
Hugo landed behind him.
"What do we have here?" Hugo spoke in a dangerous tone.
The pirate captain stumbled backward, looking at him in complete shock, while his n trembled around him. He realized that this man was not soone ordinary.
"Who... Who are you?" he muttered, his hands shaking as he pointed his gun at Hugo.
One of his subordinates swallowed hard before answering.
"T-this is Hugo, the Titan... He has a bounty of over 600 million berries!"
The pirate captain froze upon hearing those words. Everyone around him fell into complete silence.
"W-why... Why is such a powerful pirate here?! Shouldn't he be fighting in the New World with the Straw Hats against Kaido and Big Mom!?" the captain stamred, trembling.
He rembered the latest edition of the newspaper well. The most recent one, released the day before, stated that Monkey D. Luffy was about to fight Kaido. That day's new edition had not yet been published, as Morgans, the head of the World Economy News newspaper, was busy trying to organize all the information about the war and how it would impact the world.
That was certainly going to be the most anticipated edition of the New Era.
Hugo crossed his arms and looked at the group of pirates with a stern expression.
"You didn't know? Alabasta is Straw Hat territory."
The pirates imdiately swallowed hard. They knew very well what happened to those who attacked a Yonko's territory.
"W-wait... What do you an? We didn't know that Alabasta was a Yonko's territory!" one of the pirates tried to argue desperately.
"No one told us about this!" another shouted, still trying to process the situation.
Hugo gave a mocking smile before responding.
"You fools. Princess Vivi is part of our crew. She is our captain's wife and has a son with him. What did you expect?"
Shock took over the pirates. Before they could even formulate a response, Hugo sprang into action.
In an instant, he charged at them and began eliminating them without rcy.
The citizens who had still been resisting the attack were surprised to see the situation change so drastically. In a matter of seconds, all the pirates were being annihilated, one after another. None of them had ti to react.
As the days passed, the four mbers of the Straw Hats acted quickly. They ensured that Alabasta was completely protected, eliminating any possible threats.
King Cobra continued his broadcast, trying to inform the entire kingdom about the changes Alabasta would undergo. anwhile, the Straw Hats worked to eliminate any governnt spies and prevent any information about the country's real situation from escaping to the outside world.
