One Piece – I Am A Different Luffy!

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

New Word.

...

...

"Zihahaha!" Blackbeard's laughter echoed through the air as Luffy continued staring at him with cold eyes while his wings kept him steady in the sky.

"You know you shouldn't be here, right?" Luffy said dangerously.

"And why not? Did you want to keep all the fun to yourself, Straw Hat?" Blackbeard mocked. "Zihahaha!"

"..." Luffy remained silent.

"Can't we join the party too? But we might not even need to—after all, you came to us. It's fine if we all attack you right here, isn't it?" As he said this, all members of Blackbeard's crew seemed ready to fight, staring at Luffy as if he were an easy target.

"Don't get ahead of yourselves. You won't get past this point," Luffy responded.

"He still wants to act tough—more than he should in his current state," Shiryu of the Rain said, taking a drag from his cigarette as he watched Luffy.

"Hehehe... he's a fine man. Such a shame we have to kill him," Catarina Devon said with a dark smile.

"Let's fight!!!" Jesus Burgess raised his arms, flexing his muscles in anticipation of fighting Luffy.

"..." Laffitte toyed with his deck of cards, watching the Straw Hat with interest.

"..." Avalo Pizarro grinned.

"..." Van Augur also remained silent, waiting for any movement from Luffy while keeping his rifle aimed at him.

"Hmmmm. Burp." Vasco Shot had his tongue hanging out but merely let out a small groan before releasing a loud belch.

Doc Q was lying on the ship's deck, looking exhausted, while his horse struggled to get up but seemed equally drained.

"Straw Hat..." Kuzan murmured, peering through his lenses.

"You all certainly seem eager... but you know... I could still wipe you all out..." Luffy said as he began to release crimson Conqueror's Haki.

Everyone felt the force of that Haki, and all those who had been so confident suddenly seemed to lose it, instinctively stepping back, clearly intimidated by its presence.

Blackbeard released his own Conqueror's Haki as well, forming a barrier to shield his crewmates. The two Haki forces clashed, and Blackbeard found himself momentarily taken aback, forced to retreat slightly as Luffy's Haki overwhelmed his own.

"What kind of Haki is this?!" he murmured. He knew of only one person who had this type of Haki—Shanks...

"I never fully mastered this Haki until tonight. It always came out uncontrollably, and it was tough to keep it under control... but in my last battle against the World Government over the past five hours... I truly managed to dominate it. Maybe I should thank them for that—after all... I've never felt this powerful before," Luffy said.

"Don't think that just because you have that Haki, you can defeat us!" Blackbeard shouted, trying to keep his Haki up to prevent Luffy's crimson Conqueror's Haki from reaching them.

Luffy then stopped releasing it—he wasn't in a condition where he could maintain it for long—before approaching them, letting his wings dissipate.

Blackbeard's pirates were stunned as Luffy simply descended from the sky and landed softly on the deck in front of them, his calm approach making them all grimace.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm convinced I can kill you all," Luffy said, walking forward as if he were in his own home.

"Hmm?" Blackbeard continued to frown at Straw Hat, who remained unnervingly calm despite his injuries and visible exhaustion from fighting multiple powerful opponents in a single night.

"Do you remember what happened at Marineford?" Luffy asked, stopping just a few meters away from Blackbeard and his crew.

"..." Blackbeard thought for a few seconds before his eyes widened in shock.

"Exactly, Blackbeard... I don't know if I could survive it in my current state, and I know how it will punish me once I use it... but I will certainly use it now to destroy you all..." Luffy said in a serious tone.

All the confidence they had displayed earlier now seemed like a distant memory as they began to grasp his words.

That thing he had used to fight against the Gorosei, who had invaded the war and been annihilated... how his punches had made the sea itself sink... That was not human. It was beyond any standard of strength in this world—even among the most powerful.

"You..." Blackbeard was undoubtedly afraid upon hearing that. He hadn't considered whether Monkey D. Luffy could use that, whatever it was. After all, he didn't even know how his ability worked.

"I have the ability to do it, and I intend to use it. I wonder... how many seconds you would last... how many bodies would remain intact, if they weren't torn apart or even vaporized by just one punch from me. I wonder... how many of you could react to me releasing it at this very moment, while I deliver a blow, to the point that no one would be able to respond..." Luffy spoke in a dark tone.

Everyone immediately furrowed their brows, stepping back. They were ambitious, but if their lives were at stake, it was certainly useless to act recklessly.

Luffy saw Blackbeard's stunned expression and continued.

"Should I really use this power?" He left the question hanging in the air before turning his gaze solely to Blackbeard. "I wonder if you would survive as well... after all, I could kill you three times over..." he said.

"You know?!" Blackbeard immediately exclaimed upon hearing Luffy's last words.

"Maybe..." Luffy smirked.

"How do you know that?!" he shouted while everyone else remained clueless about their captain's terrified reaction.

"I have my ways... Either way, shall we fight? I'm asking because it won't end well for either of us. I may end up in a very bad situation after this... but I guarantee that none of you will survive." He spoke.

"..." Everyone stayed silent, but Luffy's enemies mostly shifted their gazes to their captain, who kept a cautious look on Luffy.

He remained quiet for a moment before breaking into a grin, despite everything.

"Ziahahahaha. Looks like he's got us cornered here... I wouldn't want to risk dying here, and surely, neither would my men..." Blackbeard finally said.

"..." Luffy stayed silent while Blackbeard continued laughing.

"We're turning back... but Straw Hat, don't think this is over. One day, we will have to fight for real, and by then, I won't have to fear your power anymore... I'll come at you with everything I have, and you know that very well..." Blackbeard said.

"When that time comes, I won't even need to resort to this, Blackbeard," Luffy mocked.

"Ziahahaha. We'll see." Blackbeard said as Luffy took one last look at them before leaping into the air, releasing his black wings once more, gaining altitude. He turned back one last time, his crimson eyes locked onto Blackbeard, silently telling him that one day he would die by his hands. Then, with a powerful flap of his wings, Luffy shot off, heading back toward Wano beyond the horizon.

"So in the end, we came all this way just to be intimidated..." Shiryu murmured with disdain.

"It's better than dying... You certainly wouldn't have survived that thing we saw in Marineford," Catarina murmured.

"..." All the other crew members remained silent, realizing that, in the end, they had abandoned everything else just to come here—only to turn back.

"Captain..." Van Augur spoke, seeing Blackbeard in silence.

"Set course for our base. I'll be in my cabin," Blackbeard said as he entered his quarters, leaving the others to adjust the ship on their own.

"How does he know that?!" His fist slammed against the table.

"No one should know..."

"He's dangerous!"

The voice was the same, but three different ways of speaking uttered the same words, as if from separate personalities.

"We must destroy him and steal his power."

"He's far too dangerous to let him keep conquering the New World... Tonight, he defeated two Yonkos and the strongest power the government has ever shown."

"There is no longer any doubt that from this night onward, Monkey D. Luffy would solidify what everyone had already been saying—they have become the most powerful pirate crew in the world."

"They are closer to the One Piece than anyone else..."

"The One Piece must belong to us..."

"We need to prove to the world that we are the kings of the pirates!"

No one knew about the discussion taking place inside that cabin. Blackbeard emerged once again, even though only fifteen minutes had passed since he had entered. As he stepped outside, he saw his crew members carrying out their duties, guiding the ship.

"Captain?" Burgess murmured.

"Everyone, change of plans!" he exclaimed, making all of them stop.

"We're no longer heading to our base—we're going to Big Mom's territory. We're going after the red Poneglyph... we're going to steal it from Straw Hat," he declared with a sinister grin.

It was highly likely that Straw Hat would claim all the territories of the two Yonkos he had defeated. Taking the red Poneglyph would be a direct move against him—now that no one could stop them from reaching the former Yonko's main island.

His crew quickly nodded in understanding, and the ship was steered in that direction as they advanced, leaving the Straw Hats behind. Unfortunately, Blackbeard would have to postpone his plans to consume and claim all those mythical Zoan fruits for another time—but he would certainly be better prepared when the moment came.

Meanwhile, Luffy soared through the sky as Wano came into view. All the ships—both the Straw Hats' main vessel and their fleet—had left the waters beneath Wano, retrieving the bodies of their fallen comrades and allies, while their enemies still floated lifelessly in the sea.

He saw everyone reorganizing around Onigashima and headed straight for the rooftop.

"LUFFY!!!!" A chorus of voices rang out from several mini-Hancocks as Luffy was immediately noticed and welcomed.

"Luffy... Are you okay?" Lucy jumped onto his brother, despite being bandaged up once again.

"I managed to deal with them quickly, Captain..." Usopp also approached.

"I had to make some threats, even though I had to bluff..." Luffy admitted. He knew that he truly didn't understand how to release the same power he had used at Marineford. Even so, he had been willing to do it if necessary. At the same time, he had needed to appear confident enough to scare off Blackbeard's pirates.

"And now... Luffy?" Uta approached, along with everyone else, quickly surrounding him.

"First, we'll contact Dressrosa and see how things are going there. After that, I'll speak with the World Government..." Luffy responded while picking up a Den Den Mushi. "Lastly, there will be a change for all of us from now on—but I'll be announcing that to the world as well."

Luffy landed on a higher spot, with everyone gathering around him. It was time to settle the final matters.

He held the Den Den Mushi, preparing to make the call to check on his children and everyone else. Though he was confident that those two old men could handle the government—especially after they had already sent their main force here.
