One Piece : Why is that luffy better than our luffy

Mary Geoise

In the Pangaea Castle, there is a very large room known as the Room of Authority.

The five elders, representing the highest authority in the world, wore grim expressions at this moment!

Since the advent of the viewing system, they have tried various methods but cannot break free from this state of captivity.

The more powerful someone is, the less they tolerate being out of control!

"The situation is getting worse... The Perennial Youth Operation has actually been brought up!" 

The golden-haired elder, Shepherd Ju Peter, stared at the large screen before him, his face stern.

The screen in the Room of Authority is linked to the live feed from Marineford.

From here, they can directly observe the situation unfolding at Marine Headquarters.

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's gaze deepened as he looked at the other elders. "We cannot allow the opportunity for the Perennial Youth Operation to fall into anyone else's hands! We must intervene directly!"

"Intervene directly? How do you propose we do that?"

The straight-haired elder, Marcus Mars , stroked his chin and shook his head. "Nobody can resist the temptation of eternal life! Haven't you noticed? Even the Marines are eyeing this chance!"

"What are we supposed to do then? This is the chance for eternal life! Are we just going to stand by and watch it slip away?" 

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro stood up, his voice heavy with concern.

Before the two could argue further, the round-headed elder, Topman Warcury, cut in, "Forget about the Perennial Youth Operation for now. The most critical issue right now is the awakening of that fruit!"

At these words, the expressions of the other elders changed drastically.

Indeed...

None of them had expected that the Devil Fruit, which had remained dormant for 800 years, would awaken once again!

Moreover, the manner in which it awakened was beyond anything they had anticipated

Simply because that kid answered a question, the Zoan Mythical Beast Type, Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika... awakened...

Damn it!

Isn't this all too casual?

Shepherd Ju Peter thought for a moment. "Im-sama must have noticed this as well. Once the prohibition of the viewing system is lifted, Im-sama will surely give us instructions."

"We can only hope so"

The other Elders also nodded seriously, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation.

At that moment, the red-framed screen in the sky gradually dimmed.

In its place, a white-framed screen began to light up.

[Time passes day by day]

[Luffy follows Ace, braving various hardships and embarking on countless adventures.]

[Although he often gets beaten up, he lives joyfully!]

[In the Windmill Village, the Red-Haired Pirates have been stationed for over a year]

[Luffy often goes to town to help Dadan with errands, and through this, he has become well-acquainted with the Red-Haired Pirates.]

Charlotte Linlin: "This kid... Garp's grandson, Dragon's son, and now he's close with Shanks too. How interesting..."

Edward Newgate: "I didn't notice until you pointed it out! His father leads the Revolutionary Army, his grandfather's a Marine hero, and he's tight with one of the Four Emperors. This kid's got quite the background"

Shiki: "No wonder they're showing so much footage of him."

It's worth mentioning that Shiki had fallen to his death after being defeated by Luffy in the sky...

Originally, he was bitter about it, but now, seeing things from this perspective, he's come to terms with it.

Damn it, I died at the hands of the Chosen One...

Monkey D. Garp: "Damn Shanks! Why did a big pirate like you have to settle in a place like Windmill Village? If it weren't for you, my grandson might've become a Marine by now!"

Tsuru: "Although Shanks wasn't one of the Four Emperors back then, he was already a renowned pirate in the New World. There was no real reason for him to stay in such a remote place for over a year..."

As she watched the screen, Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes narrowed as she began to think deeply.

Shanks: "Just taking it easy! Isn't being a pirate all about freedom? If I liked the place, why not stay a little longer? What's wrong with that?"

Why did he end up in Windmill Village back then?

Rather than it being Shanks' choice alone, it felt more like he was drawn there by the Rubber-Rubber Fruit in some mysterious way.

It's a hard feeling to describe.

At the time, while sailing toward the East Blue, many events seemed normal, but looking back now, they feel oddly strange!

For example, the wooden box containing the Devil Fruit was swept overboard during a storm, and they chased after it for hundreds of miles!

Or getting inexplicably lost, only to end up somewhere they hadn't planned to go.

In a series of odd coincidences, they landed in Windmill Village.

And somehow, they ended up staying there for a year, leading to Luffy accidentally eating the Rubber-Rubber Fruit...

If you think about it carefully, Shanks can't shake the feeling that it wasn't just a coincidence... but that the Rubber-Rubber Fruit chose Luffy!!!
