-These four options, except for the first one, all represent impressive positions.
Terrifying, truly terrifying.
They remember that this is the future version of Luffy, two years from now, right? That means Luffy is only nineteen years old this year, a Yonko at nineteen? Or a Gokou?
They can't even fathom the thought!
"Garp, you've given me a big puzzle!" exclaimed Sengoku involuntarily.
How could such a genius end up becoming a pirate?
It would have been so much better if he joined the Marines!
Garp, too, felt particularly shocked. Even he didn't expect that the future Luffy, two years from now, would be able to clash with Big Mom and seemingly hold his own.
In this regard, even as a grandfather figure, he couldn't help but feel inferior.
In the face of Sengoku's exclamation, Garp could only awkwardly smile. He also felt helpless. If someone were to blame, it would be that bastard, Shanks.
However, on Sengoku's side, Admiral Akainu looked at Luffy with a growing killing intent. This kid must not be allowed to survive. If left to grow, he will become a threat to this world.
...
On the other hand, within the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace first sighed at how Luffy truly lived up to being his little brother. After entering the New World, he went ahead and challenged one of the Yonko.
But he never expected Luffy to be stronger than him.
Back when he challenged Whitebeard, he suffered a crushing defeat, and ultimately, the entire Blackbeard Pirates were absorbed. Although he was now satisfied with his decision to acknowledge Whitebeard as his father, he couldn't help but marvel at how much stronger Luffy was compared to him.
Challenging Big Mom and even gaining a title, regardless of whether he won or lost against Big Mom, it means that at least his challenge was successful this time.
Thinking about the Yonko and Gokou mentioned in the answer, Ace couldn't help but laugh. Could it be that in the future, Luffy will be on the same level as their old man?
Where does that leave his position as the big brother?
Luffy, oh Luffy, you really put a lot of pressure on me... Ace couldn't help but laugh wryly.
...
Meanwhile, in Dressrosa,
Doflamingo's face, which had been gloomy just a moment ago, suddenly brightened when he heard this question.
This kid even fought Big Mom?
Ah, then there's no problem.
If he can't handle this kid, then it's only natural that this kid can handle him.
Not surprising, not surprising at all.
Doflamingo felt that he had just regained the face he had lost.
Isn't it obvious?
He's someone who can challenge the Yonko. If he gets defeated, it's only natural.
Instead of that, you should be more concerned about what's going on with Big Mom. How could the mighty Big Mom fail to handle a little brat?
When the sky falls, tall ones hold it up. The one who lost face here is Big Mom, not him.
However, Doflamingo's eyes behind his sunglasses remained fixed on the image of Luffy, and his mind began to contemplate strategies for dealing with him.
After all, prophecies are just prophecies, not facts.
Since it hasn't happened yet, it means it can still be changed.
However, this kid isn't that easy to deal with. Luffy alone right now is manageable since he hasn't grown up yet, hasn't trained under Rayleigh, and doesn't possess that overwhelming aura. Dealing with him is no big deal.
But the forces behind him make him as prickly as a hedgehog. Anyone who gets involved will end up covered in wounds.
The Revolutionary Army, Yonko Whitebeard, Yonko Red Hair, Vice Admiral Garp...
If they were to kill him, few would be able to withstand the consequences.
Doflamingo certainly wouldn't want to be the one sticking his neck out. That's what chumps like Sengoku are for.
Now that there's so much information circulating about Luffy, there are more than just him wanting Luffy dead.
The Marines probably don't want such a formidable pirate to grow stronger.
Big Mom probably won't just let it go either.
After this incident, Luffy's bounty is likely to exceed a billion. As a budding treasure in human form, there will surely be countless bounty hunters looking to cash in.
With so many people wanting Luffy dead, there's no need for him to lift a finger.
Observing from the sidelines, watching the fire from across the river, is the best choice unless absolutely necessary. It's better not to step forward and become the blade.
...
Meanwhile, on Cake Island, the Charlotte family gathers together, watching the live broadcast.
They happen to hear about Luffy causing chaos in Cake island.
Such a ridiculous thing, they can't believe it at all. That brat wouldn't even know how to die if he stepped onto their territory.
Big Mom almost bursts out laughing. No one takes this seriously. He probably just wandered through the nations and ran away before encountering Mama.
But with so many people knowing about this, it seems that the news spreading wouldn't be good for their Big Mom Pirates.
"Mom, should we go and take care of this kid in advance?" Perospero asked.
"Oh well, no need to rush. Let's wait until this kid really arrives in the New World," Big Mom waved her hand and laughed. Apart from when she's having a fit, she's relatively normal.
"Are you all afraid of this brat?"
"Of course not," Perospero quickly denied.
"That's right. When he actually comes to Totto land, you can deal with him then. Right now, he's just a brat who doesn't even understand Haki. Making such a big fuss over him would only make our Big Mom Pirates look afraid of him. Do you really think he can defeat me?"
Big Mom was quite confident in her own strength. She's not some useless waste like Doflamingo. Doflamingo probably couldn't even defeat her son, so she didn't even consider his strength.
Let alone Luffy, even if Luffy's master, Rayleigh, came looking for trouble, he would have to bow down to her. Times have changed.
Rayleigh is no longer the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, and she is no longer a member of the Rocks Pirates.
She is now the Yonko Big Mom, and she dares to claim that anyone who opposes her is her opponent, no matter who they are.
"Of course, it's impossible," everyone shook their heads in unison. Who would dare to anger Big Mom and furrow her brows? That would be asking for death.
"Hehe... And the ones who are most anxious about this matter are not us, but the Marines. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to rush and help the Marines solve their problems?" Big Mom chuckled happily. "Keep watching. Let's see what tricks he can come up with. Yonko? Goko? It's quite interesting."
...
Meanwhile, the people in the Arlong Park were in a state of confusion. This question had completely exceeded their scope of understanding.
Before, they could barely make some guesses, but now, it's like guessing nothing. Every option seems like the correct answer, and every option seems like the wrong answer.
Rationally, they thought the title of "Straw Hat King" was the most reasonable.
Because what's below that? Either it's the Yonko or the Goko... This is already beyond absurd.
What kind of existence is a Yonko? Even Admiral Sengoku would feel threatened in the presence of a Yonko.
This means that the kid in front of them can reach that level of strength in just two years. Who are they trying to fool?
