"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"TIME'S UP!"
"Today's big prize, Caimie the Mermaid, will go to the World Noble, Saint Charlos, for the price of 500 million," Disco concluded his announcement with great joy.
"All right!" Charlos also relaxed, knowing there was no Celestial Dragon competitor.
"Nyuuu~!!!" Hatchan immediately wanted to rush to save Caimie.
"It's like the world in miniature. What a farce, let's get out of here," Kidd turned to leave after witnessing enough of this mockery. But soon, a screaming voice caught his attention. "Hm?"
"ААААННН!!"
"What?"
"GYAAAAAAAАННН!!!" "UWAAAH!!" "КУAАН!!!"
"How noisy," said St. Rosward.
The sound of the explosion and debris at the entrance of the auction drew everyone's attention.
"LUFFY!" exclaimed Sanji.
"What the hell was that?! Can't you land any better?!" Luffy shouted at the flying fish driver, the same person who Luffy caused him great suffering earlier that day.
"How was I supposed to?! This is a flying fish! You told me to get you in, didn't you?!"
"Man, I got on because you guys told me to... I was heading back to the Sunny when you guys grabbed me... Where are we?"
"What!? You guys..." Zoro noticed the presence of most of his comrades and became confused.
"Zoro, too!?"
"That's... Strawhat Luffy...!!" Kidd immediately recognized Luffy.
"Who the hell are those guys?!"
"Ah, Caimie!" Luffy quickly noticed Caimie, whom he had been searching for all this time.
"Luffy-chin..."
"Caimie, we were looking for you! Thank goodness!" With a big smile on his face, Luffy began to run toward Caimie.
But Hatchan quickly intervened to stop him. "Wait! Wait, Strawhat! What are you doing!?"
"What do you mean? Caimie is right there!"
"Yes, but she still has the exploding collar on! We can't just take her! And a Tenryuubito is involved..."
"Like I care!" exclaimed Luffy.
Without realizing it, Hatchan extended all his arms to restrain Luffy, revealing his identity as a Fish-Man.
"КУАААААНН!!!" "It's a Fish-Man! How disgusting!"
"What? A Fish-Man?" "Why is a Fish-Man on land?"
"Disgusting! Look at the color of his skin! Look at his arms!"
"I'm scared! I'm so scared! Don't come any closer!"
"Go back to the sea, you monster!"
"Get away!"
Sanji looked at the unexpected situation unfolding before his eyes and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"Hachi! You've got to get out of here right now! You're in danger!" Pappag hurriedly urged Hatchan to run away.
"I'm fine. Get Caimie!"
"It's just like Robin said... On these islands, Fish-Men and Mermaids... are discriminated against!" Nami couldn't accept this. Suddenly, she began to understand why Arlong and his pirates hated humans.
"What? Both Caimie and Hachi!?"
As Luffy ran toward Caimie despite being held by many auction personnel, he suddenly heard a gunshot. When he turned around, he saw a Celestial Dragon happily dancing next to the bleeding body of Hatchan.
"MUFUFUFU MUFUUUN MUFUUUN 🎵" "I hit him! I finished off that Fish-Man!"
"НАДДДДАН, I'm so glad they shot him. I was worried that I would get some kind of disease from that thing."
"He must have been up to something. He has the brain of a fish after all."

Sky Island Alabasta:
"Sigh~ What a dreadful world we used to live in..."
"I have never seen anything worse than this, my dear."
"Even the HXH world and the ninja world were not as repulsive to the eye as this."
"These celestial insects... I'm grateful to Her Highness Queen Lili for refusing to be associated with such dreadful individuals... Otherwise, I fear we would become like them."
Cobra placed his hand on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief that his predecessor had chosen the best possible fate.
Based on what he had witnessed about the Celestial Dragons so far, he couldn't even fathom being one of them.
"It's not just their appearances that are repugnant... Their hearts are even more twisted."
Not even a kind and beloved queen like Titi could suppress her hatred for St. Rosward and his children.
"It's fortunate for our son that he will grow up in the true paradise~ away from the distorted side of this world." Titi gazed at their baby Amon with love and care.
By the way, Amon was their unexpected firstborn child in this world... He was a male who would apparently be Vivi's older brother.
"Oh my God, he's so furious..."
"What does Luffy intend to do?"
Luffy's actions suddenly captured the attention of the couple, who had been completely focused on the unfolding events...
What happened next completely astonished them.
...
"These are the descendants of the founders of the current system in the Blue Sea... How pitiful is this world ruled by these parasites."
In Birka, Urouge still maintained his smile as he read the manga...
He was eagerly anticipating seeing his appearance again... This was far more enjoyable than witnessing those scoundrels abuse their authority.
"Well, well, this is interesting. The Strawhat is crazy enough to attempt such a thing..."
Urouge's smile widened as he saw Luffy slowly walking towards Charlos.
He could easily predict what Luffy was going to do next.
"Hahaha! This is going to be very entertaining... Let's watch a thrilling show."
...
Far from the Sky Islands, this time in the Far East Sea, in the town of Foosha on Dawn Island:
"Luffy-kun..."
"Luffy..."
"What does he intend to do?"
"Is he aware of the consequences?"
"The consequences? My ass! This is Luffy... What can't he do in this world?"
"He despises these celestial dragons... So not even the admiral can prevent him from attacking."
The mayor nervously bit his lip while observing Luffy slowly advancing towards the dancing celestial dragon.
"Just like that... Please stop him."
Woop Slap was delighted to see the injured Hatchan grabbing onto Luffy's leg, trying to halt his progress.
"This is..."
The eyes of all the residents of Foosha town widened in sheer shock as they witnessed the subsequent chain of events.
If one were to describe it as shocking...
To be honest... The word "shocking" wouldn't fully capture the intensity of what unfolded.
In any case, it was only at this moment that people across the world realized they had completely underestimated just how remarkable Luffy truly was.
Everyone in the world... Quite literally.
