East Blue – Loguetown
"Shishishishishi, it's time to declare my dream to the world, the Grand Line awaits me", Luffy mutters before clenching his fists and sucking in a huge amount of air before shouting his dream to the world.
"I, MONKEY D. LUFFY, WILL FIND THE ONE PIECE AND BECOME THE PIRATE KING!!!!", Luffy shouts at the top of his lungs while raising his arms into the air.
The silence that followed in the square was nothing short of unnerving, and no matter how ridiculous and funny the boy's declaration seemed, especially in this place, everyone felt deeply that this boy was serious and would pursue this goal relentlessly like a hungry animal in front of food.
"What is this idiot doing?", Sanji asks his crewmates as he witnesses what Luffy just did.
"Shit, obviously", Usopp comments with a tired sigh.
"...Sigh... we're going to have to fight to get out of here, and there's still a damn storm coming, and with all this chaos, we're going to have to leave the island now or this storm will trap us here", Nami says handing over everything she bought to Usopp who promptly shrinks everything and puts it in his bag.
"Okay, then Nami, Usopp, Kaya, and Nojiko run to the port to prepare the Merry so we can get out of here. In the meantime, me, the little bangs hair, and Chouchou stay here to help Luffy, and then we run to the ship and catch up with you guys", Zoro takes charge and tells everyone the plan.
Following the plan, all the Straw Hats spring into action to make their escape.
As Nami, Usopp, Kaya, and Nojiko ran toward the port after taking down several Marines in their way, Zoro, Sanji, and Chouchou rushed forward, attacking any pirate that appeared in their path to clear the way until Luffy.
=Scene Break=
A few minutes before the Straw Hats sprang into action, specifically right after Luffy made his declaration, in a building overlooking the situation in the square.
"Who's the brat? And what's the situation?", Smoker asks, bringing his men back to reality.
"We currently have three wanted pirates in the square, Captain. They are Alvida, the Iron Mace, she looks different from before, but some nearby citizens who managed to get away before things got worse said it was her. The next one is Buggy, the Clown, and the kid wearing the straw hat on top of the platform who just shouted is Monkey D. Luffy", one of the marines says, passing the information to Smoker.
"Hmm? Monkey D. Luffy? Never heard of this guy", Smoker comments while analyzing the general situation in the square. The pirates had some civilian hostages who hadn't managed to escape before, held at gunpoints. This so-called Luffy was at the top of the platform, the other pirates were concentrated in the center of the square, and a crowd of curious civilians was surrounding the edges of the square, wanting to see what was happening.
"He's a rookie pirate, Captain. His bounty was issued about a week ago, and his head is worth fifty million Berries, the highest bounty in the East Blue", the marine says, informing his Captain about who the boy with the straw hat is.
"Fifty million? Why so high? What has this guy done?", Tashigi asks, surprised.
"He defeated down a bunch of people, the ex-Captain Morgan from Shells Town, Buggy the Clown, who's in the plaza now, probably wanting revenge or something, Don Krieg, who couldn't handle the Grand Line and came back to the East Blue just to be killed by him, and Arlong the Saw. There are also rumors that he fought Vice-Admiral Garp and managed to escape", the marine says, relaying the necessary information.
"Alright, that just means it'll be harder to capture the Straw Hat, not impossible, no pirate escapes from me. Besides, we've already surrounded the plaza, so let's wrap this nonsense up and declare their arrest", Smoker says, and just as he is about to grab a Den Den Mushi megaphone to go to the plaza and declare the pirates' arrest, a commotion on one side of the plaza catches his attention.
"What's this commotion? What's going on?", Smoker asks, confused, trying to figure out what's happening.
"It's Roronoa Zoro, a white wolf, and another guy, sir", one of the marines says, using binoculars to assess the situation down below.
"Roronoa Zoro is here in the city?", Tashigi asks, surprised, before taking the marine's binoculars to observe the situation in the square herself.
"Great! Just what I needed, a pirate hunter sticking his nose where it doesn't belong", Smoker comments, a vein bulging on his forehead.
"Err, sir, we have a report saying he's now part of the Straw Hat crew", the marine updates him with more information.
"It's him...", Tashigi exclaims, surprised, feeling betrayed and angry.
Meanwhile, in the square, upon seeing Zoro, Sanji, and Chouchou clearing a path to him, knocking out anyone who tried to block their way, Luffy smiles and waves his hands while shouting, "Hey, Sanji, Zoro, Chouchou, where's the rest of the crew?"
"There's a storm coming, you idiot! If we don't get out of here now, we'll be stuck on the island, and now you went and started more trouble! Miss Nami, Miss Kaya, Miss Nojiko, and Usopp went to the port to prepare the Merry for us to leave. Me, this idiot, and Chouchou came to help you, so let's go!", Sanji yells in response while delivering a Spartan kick to the chest of a pirate who got in his way.
"Hmm? Alright then, but before that, I don't think the World Government will need this platform anymore, so", Luffy murmurs as he looks at the sky darkening. He then stomps on the platform, causing the entire structure to collapse, creating a huge cloud of dust as the debris hits the ground.
While everyone is stunned by what just happened, the dust settles enough for everyone to see that Luffy is unharmed, standing amidst the rubble, brushing off the dust that stuck to his body.
"Well, guys, the Grand Line awaits me, so it seems your nap time has arrived. Have a good rest, everyone", Luffy says before releasing a controlled burst of Conqueror's Haki, covering the entire plaza, causing everyone, except for the Straw Hats, Buggy, Smoker, and Tashigi, to foam at the mouth and pass out.
"What was that?", Tashigi asks, panting, kneeling, struggling to get up, nearly losing consciousness.
"What's a Conqueror doing here in the East Blue?", Smoker asks to no one in particular, sweating cold.
"Smoker, all the men are unconscious. How do we proceed?", Tashigi asks after managing to compose herself and look around, assessing the situation of the nearby marines.
"It's just the two of us, Tashigi. This prison just got a lot harder. Let's go before they manage to escape", Smoker says before jumping through a window of the building they were in, landing in the square below.
Meanwhile, Tashigi, realizing what Captain Smoker did, runs out of the building using the stairs like a normal person, because obviously, she doesn't want to break her legs by jumping from the fifth floor.

Hi everyone, two quick polls to settle two questions at once:
Do you guys want a harem? Keep in mind that if yes, it will be limited to a maximum of 3 girls.
Yes.
No.
---
And if you want a harem, who should be in it? Nami is already confirmed, and no one can change that. Reiju is probably confirmed too since I kind of made her and Luffy have this flirty dynamic, so you could say she's already in love with Luffy. In this case, you would decide who the last girl in the harem would be. The options are:
Nefertari Vivi.
Nico Robin.
Uta.
Your suggestion.
